| Mitchell92 | Hello... I'm a computer networking major, I bought another laptop to toy around with and then bring to class in the fall for note taking next semester. I really love it and it runs amazing on XUbuntu... At the same time, I really wanted to try out gnome 3 again. Its a dual core i5 (6th gen) with 4GB of RAM and Intel HD 530 graphics. Would it be suggested that I reinstall everything and use the gnome variant of Ubuntu to do this, or could I | 01:05 |
| Mitchell92 | just install Gnome and remove XFCE? | 01:05 |
| munch_28 | Anyone know intimate details of Netflix Desktop app? I'm trying to kill it, but the Ubuntu launcher is still showing it to be in use | 01:06 |
| munch_28 | right clicking it, and clicking on quit doesn't stop it from being in use | 01:07 |
| Mitchell92 | Netflix is now supported on linux? | 01:08 |
| munch_28_ | Can anyone help with Top and killing Netflix Desktop? | 01:09 |
| sdk | Mitchell92: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Installation | 01:09 |
| kurros | munch_28_: if i recall correctly it was plugin-container | 01:09 |
| Mitchell92 | sdk, I'm aware of ubuntu gnome... I already have XUbuntu installed. Do I need to reinstall and install Ubuntu Gnome to run Gnome 3, or is there another way, if so, would it work as needed? | 01:10 |
| kurros | Mitchell92: its a really old app that uses silverlight via wine | 01:10 |
| Mitchell92 | Ahh | 01:10 |
| sdk | Mitchell92: I think you can do "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop" | 01:11 |
| munch_28_ | kurros: I did kill that PID, It's still showing lit on my launcher.... | 01:11 |
| kurros | Mitchell92: do what sdk says and when you log out there will be a new selector above your username on the login screen to choose the desktop environment | 01:11 |
| jiffe | Bashing-om: I don't think nvidia-xconfig is an analog to amdconfig | 01:11 |
| Mitchell92 | okay, kurros ... Thanks | 01:12 |
| kurros | munch_28_: dang. sorry its been a long time since i had to use that app | 01:12 |
| zykotick9 | jiffe: i have NO idea what amdconfig does... but nvidia-xconig just creates a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file... | 01:13 |
| jiffe | I could use amdconfig to poll for gpu clock info, gpu load, gpu temperatures etc | 01:13 |
| jiffe | I was hoping to find something similar for nvidia | 01:13 |
| munch_28_ | kurros: you don't use netflix then? I'm hoping that there is a better app then Netflix Desktop | 01:13 |
| munch_28_ | Have a lot of issues with it | 01:13 |
| zykotick9 | jiffe: there is a gui, nvidia-settings i believe... | 01:14 |
| jiffe | nothing command line? I don't have a monitor on this machine atm the moment | 01:14 |
| kurros | jiffe: nvidia-smi will show what you want I think | 01:14 |
| zykotick9 | jiffe: what's the point of nvidia drivers if you don't have a monitor attached?... | 01:15 |
| Bashing-om | munch_28_: There is google-chrome that runns Netflix out of the box . | 01:15 |
| jiffe | zykotick9: because gpus have a lot of cores, this machine will be used for training neural networks | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | jiffe: nvidia-smi ? | 01:16 |
| === al2o3-cr is now known as sleepy_head | ||

| [Saint] | Why isn't lmvetad used by default? | 03:46 |
| [Saint] | lmv.conf makes a specific note about it not being used by default even if the service modules are present - why is this? | 03:47 |
| cfhowlett | Thousands of tools are not used by default | 03:47 |
| dw1 | last ~$a | 03:48 |
| [Saint] | Those thousand of tools also don't bitch about not being used during boot, though cfhowlett. | 03:48 |
| [Saint] | The way I see it it has no obvious downsides, some very clear benefits, and its presence silences and annoying fallback warning during boot with LVM. | 03:50 |
| goddard | does the ufw block serial communications? | 03:50 |
| nomic | yeah | 03:50 |
| nomic | because serial communications use ports | 03:51 |
| [Saint] | So I was wondering what the reasoning behind not having it available by default, in fact, not even enabling it even if the service modules are present and active. | 03:51 |
| [Saint] | Given that to my view it has no obvious downsides and very clear benefits. | 03:51 |

| Kriophoros | my issue: I did passwd -e in terminal to make my user password expire, so my friends at home could go freely onto my desktop, but I'm stuck out of it now, as the desktop doesn't seem to load after login in (it redirects me back to the "after boot" login interface. I tried changing the password through root in recovery mode but I still can't access the desktop after logging in with the new | 03:52 |
| Kriophoros | password, any ideas? | 03:52 |
| [Saint] | It doesn't help you now, obviously, but...why didn't you just make them a guest account? | 03:53 |
| cfhowlett | ^^^ this ^^^ | 03:54 |
| [Saint] | also - you can fix this trivially from a liveCD|DVD|USB | 03:54 |

| goddard | ? | 03:54 |
| goddard | how can i unblock a port | 03:55 |
| goddard | doesn't seem my firewall GUI offers the correct parameters | 03:55 |
| Kriophoros | [Saint], I did it in a hurry and didn't expect it to "break"... | 03:56 |
| === King` is now known as King | ||
| [Saint] | Actually - I use server installs too much these days. | 03:57 |
| [Saint] | ...isn;t there a guest account _by default_ on all the GUI/desktop installs? | 03:57 |
| [Saint] | mount some shared storage, bingo bango, guest users that can't ruin your day. | 03:58 |
| coffeeguy | hi i've been getting a loud alarm sound on my desktop monitors speakers, just out of the blue? | 03:59 |
| [Saint] | anyway - yeah, single user mode, or fixing this externally from a live install is probably your best bet here Kriophoros | 03:59 |
| cfhowlett | coffeeguy, turn off the alarm? | 03:59 |
| coffeeguy | muted them and later after i removed cinnamon it did it again | 03:59 |
| cbjaxx | Kriophoris, did you unlock you account after resetting the password? sudo passwd -u <account> | 03:59 |
| Kriophoros | there's something weird, too, the name of my session seems to have a mistake in it. it's Krios instead of Krio, so I can't change the password for "Krios" after trying "passwd Krios" in root (because it'd reply the user does not exist) | 04:00 |
| coffeeguy | cfhowlett good idea though i don't remember installing one hehe | 04:00 |
| === King is now known as King- | ||
| coffeeguy | also what does D-BUS daemon not running mean? | 04:00 |
| cfhowlett | coffeeguy, I would suspect you enabled one somewhere. check your clock settings? | 04:00 |
| Kriophoros | perhaps I don't use the command correctly, but i haven't changed the user account's name | 04:01 |
| Kriophoros | cbjaxx: did not à | 04:01 |
| coffeeguy | cfhowlett, i just checked it, it shows add event but evolution hasn't even been setup | 04:02 |
| [Saint] | Kriophoros: maybe when you get this sorted in the end you can look at doing some proper user management that doesn't rely on inherent trust of users whom may or may not have any idea what they're doing at any given time on an account you need to be functional. | 04:02 |

| cbjaxx | BlooperBoy: If you are using postfix you can use dpkg-reconfigure postfix, if it is some other you can use dpkg-reconfigure <mail server>. | 04:11 |

| vincent42 | hi all, I'm using terminator as terminal, is there a way to avoir "alt+space" generating a fake space in instead of normal space ? | 04:19 |
| vincent42 | there's no case where I need to have this fake space caracter and I often leave my thumb on alt a bit too long | 04:19 |

| [Saint] | perhaps that is a support task best suited to the developers of said software? | 04:21 |

| ikonia | I'd strongle recommend you not upgrade from 10.10 | 07:43 |
| ikonia | just do a clean install (after you backed up your data) 16.04 is out, stable, LTS in a few days | 07:44 |
| jnhghy | so there is no way to upgrade from 10.10 to 12.04/14.04?... weird... | 07:45 |
| ikonia | there is | 07:45 |
| ikonia | but in my view, it's took big a jump to go through that process, | 07:45 |
| ikonia | you'd be better served in my view, to backup your key data and do a clean install of a modern releaes (eg: 16.04 out in days) | 07:46 |

| computer | EriC^^: let me walk you throug, 1. deleted partitions, 2. cannot format therefore made 1 partition, 3. get error but partition gets made, 4. format works | 08:48 |
| EriC^^ | what was the error? | 08:48 |
| computer | EriC^^: Error wiping newly created partition /dev/sdb1 | 08:48 |
| EriC^^ | computer: ok, you could use gparted to do it | 08:49 |

| computer | EriC^^: thanks | 08:50 |
| EriC^^ | computer: no problem | 08:51 |
| Flamewolf | Hello! | 08:52 |
| Flamewolf | I need some help | 08:52 |
| Flamewolf | Hello? | 08:53 |
| Ben64 | !help | Flamewolf | 08:54 |
| ubottu | Flamewolf: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 08:54 |
| Flamewolf | ahh, ok. my bad | 08:54 |
| Flamewolf | Well, i'm installing ubuntu 14.04 and i apparently need some kind of partition at the start of my drive that works as an MBR for the system. Can anybody help me out with that? | 08:56 |
| Ben64 | can you explain a bit more? what tells you you need it? how are you installing? is it dual boot? | 08:57 |
| ikonia | is this the efi boot partition you're talking about ? | 08:59 |
| Flamewolf | Okay. So, it's a dual boot between windows 10 and ubuntu 14.04 via USB. im told after the partition selection part that i need a certain partition. i believe it might be the EFI boot partition. | 08:59 |
| ikonia | ubuntu via usb ? | 09:00 |
| Flamewolf | Yep. | 09:00 |
| ikonia | what does that mean ? | 09:00 |
| ikonia | you boot via usb ? | 09:00 |
| Flamewolf | Yeah | 09:00 |
| ikonia | what does that actually mean | 09:00 |
| Flamewolf | I'm gonna be completely honest, i have no idea. i'm just relaying what my friend told me. i'm clueless with this kind of stuff and i want to learn more, so i thought that downloading it would be the best way. | 09:01 |
| ikonia | Flamewolf: is your ubuntu install on a usb disk | 09:02 |
| Flamewolf | Yes. | 09:02 |
| ikonia | ok, thats a terrible solution in my view, | 09:02 |
| ikonia | so I don't really want to deal with that | 09:02 |
| Flamewolf | Fair enough. | 09:02 |
| Flamewolf | Wait, i think i got it. THanks, though! | 09:04 |
| EriC^^ | Flamewolf: mbr is the master boot record of the disk, it's what the bios looks at when it's looking at the disks to boot | 09:04 |
| Flamewolf | okay | 09:05 |
| EriC^^ | Flamewolf: it's the first 512bytes of the disk and it also contains the partition table | 09:05 |
| EriC^^ | when ubuntu installs, it installs grub to the mbr of the disk, and so you get a grub menu next time you boot if that disk is first in boot order and you select which os to boot | 09:05 |
| ikonia | this whole thing is going to fail if the usb disk is not plugged in - even to boot windows | 09:06 |
| Flamewolf | It is currently plugged in. | 09:06 |
| ikonia | as it will require the grub config which is on the usb disk to display the menu/be aware of the boot options | 09:06 |
| ikonia | the second you unplug that, you won't be able to use the machine to boot anything | 09:06 |
| heap_ | hi, why there is no mc package in ubuntu repo | 09:07 |
| EriC^^ | ^ that's not true | 09:07 |
| Flamewolf | Thanks for the help! I'll probably be back later, though. | 09:07 |
| ikonia | that is true | 09:07 |
| ikonia | if it can't find the grub config it won't know what to boot | 09:07 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: how about the disk after the usb? | 09:08 |
| lotuspsychje | !info mc | heap_ | 09:08 |
| ubottu | heap_: mc (source: mc): Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:4.8.13-3 (wily), package size 501 kB, installed size 1586 kB | 09:08 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: what about it ? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: the boot sector is not on the mbr - so it won't know what to chain load | 09:08 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: ..the bios would boot it | 09:08 |
| ikonia | (the windows boot sector) | 09:08 |
| ikonia | grub replaces the boot sector for the chain load | 09:08 |
| heap_ | lotuspsychje: ?:) what does it mean | 09:08 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: you said if he installed ubuntu to his usb, and unplugged the usb, the pc wouldn't be bootable anymore | 09:08 |
| ikonia | so unless your windows MBR is on a totally seperate "non-pribary boot disk" it won't boot | 09:08 |
| lotuspsychje | heap_: wich ubuntu version are you running? | 09:09 |
| heap_ | uhm | 09:09 |
| heap_ | how can i find out? | 09:09 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: he installed ubuntu to it, the installer normally detects the primary boot disk to put grub on, not the install disk | 09:09 |
| lotuspsychje | heap_: lsb_release -a | 09:09 |
| ikonia | you can install to /dev/sdd - but grub will still go onto /dev/sda | 09:09 |
| ikonia | (at a simplistic level) | 09:09 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: he's going to select his usb as "bootloader location" in the installer, obviously | 09:09 |
| heap_ | 14.04 | 09:09 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: obviously ? | 09:09 |
| EriC^^ | why *would* he install it to the primary disk | 09:09 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: of course | 09:09 |
| ikonia | EriC^^: he didn't even know what he was booting from | 09:09 |
| EriC^^ | ikonia: that's why we're here :) | 09:09 |
| lotuspsychje | heap_: the package mc is available for install for you | 09:10 |
| heap_ | no | 09:10 |
| heap_ | apt-cache search mc | 09:10 |
| heap_ | its not there | 09:10 |
| ikonia | !info mc | 09:10 |
| ubottu | mc (source: mc): Midnight Commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3:4.8.13-3 (wily), package size 501 kB, installed size 1586 kB | 09:10 |
| ikonia | in the universe repo it is | 09:10 |
| heap_ | i dont know | 09:10 |
| heap_ | i did apt-cache search mc | 09:10 |
| heap_ | no results | 09:10 |
| ikonia | "t is in the universe repo" | 09:10 |
| ikonia | it | 09:10 |
| heap_ | ikonia: what does it mean? | 09:11 |
| ikonia | the package midnight commander is in the ubuntu repo called universe | 09:11 |
| lotuspsychje | !universe | heap_ | 09:11 |
| ubottu | heap_: 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. | 09:11 |
| heap_ | hmhm is there any way how to get size of the directory? | 09:13 |
| heap_ | othere then using du | 09:13 |
| ikonia | heap_: thats the correct tool from the command line | 09:13 |
| ikonia | right click on it from the file manager | 09:14 |
| heap_ | it shows different sizes | 09:14 |
| heap_ | on 2 identical dir on different physical drives | 09:14 |
| ikonia | what does | 09:14 |
| EriC^^ | heap_: probably a block thing, apparent size vs the blocks it takes up | 09:14 |
| ikonia | different physical drives - could have anything such as different block sizes, | 09:14 |
| heap_ | so whats why i need to see something to be able to compare | 09:15 |
| ikonia | heap_: what exactly are you trying to do | 09:15 |
| heap_ | i mean to compare sizes of directories | 09:15 |
| heap_ | i have dir X on drive A and also drive B | 09:15 |
| ikonia | what's the problem you're trying to solve | 09:15 |
| heap_ | and i need to be sure if it was copied from A to B without problems | 09:16 |
| ikonia | so you could use rsync | 09:16 |
| heap_ | i did | 09:16 |
| ikonia | it will checksum the whole directory | 09:16 |
| heap_ | but i wanted to do some doublecheck | 09:16 |
| ikonia | you did | 09:16 |
| ikonia | rsync will checksum the directory | 09:16 |
| heap_ | there is no other check? | 09:16 |
| ikonia | that is the best check | 09:17 |
| ikonia | you're not adding any value doing anything else, infact you're adding confusion | 09:17 |
| heap_ | ikonia: ah ok | 09:17 |
| heap_ | so no other check is poosible? | 09:17 |
| EriC^^ | heap_: if it's checksummed it's pretty much checksummed | 09:18 |
| lokien | hey guys, I'm having problems with emacs installation. can anyone help me, please? http://pastebin.com/333Y4xT1 | 09:18 |
| lokien | I removed it lately and can't install it ever since | 09:18 |
| ikonia | heap_: I've just answered that for you | 09:18 |
| EriC^^ | heap_: i think du -b shows the size without block confusion, for what it's worth | 09:19 |
| ikonia | but won't that show the different block count ? | 09:19 |
| ikonia | lokien: quick cheat, just make /etc/emacs24/site-start.d | 09:19 |
| ikonia | then it can cd and complete it | 09:20 |
| ikonia | it looks like you've screwed up the common package, | 09:20 |
| lokien | ikonia: yups, I don't know how/when though | 09:20 |
| ikonia | doesn't matter when, just fix it, | 09:20 |
| ikonia | reinstall the common package ? make the directory so the install completes, force a removal of the common package so it doesn't try to upgrade it | 09:21 |
| ikonia | pick your approach and go | 09:21 |
| lokien | ikonia: I created the directory, but it still throws me an error | 09:21 |
| ikonia | lokien: can it cd into that directory | 09:21 |
| ikonia | is the error the same ? is the error different | 09:22 |
| lokien | ikonia: I can cd into it, so, I suppose it can | 09:22 |
| ikonia | is the error the same | 09:22 |
| lokien | different, I'll paste it in a sec | 09:22 |
| lokien | ikonia: http://pastebin.com/jxBZzZs3 | 09:22 |
| heap_ | ok thanks guys | 09:22 |
| lokien | oh, I have to create some more directories, I guess | 09:23 |
| ikonia | lokien: come on - it's the same error, just a different directory | 09:23 |
| ikonia | apply some logic and walk it through | 09:23 |
| lokien | ikonia: 'kay, thank you | 09:23 |
| ikonia | lokien: it seems more sensible to remove this whole package if you no longer want it | 09:23 |
| ikonia | or re-install it | 09:23 |
| heap_ | EriC^^: du -hs shows also different sizes -;-((( | 09:24 |
| ikonia | heap_: of course it will | 09:24 |
| ikonia | you've just done the same command as before - but with human readable format | 09:24 |
| ikonia | heap_: is there a reason you are ignoring what you are being told ? | 09:24 |
| EriC^^ | heap_: try du -sb | 09:24 |
| lokien | ikonia: I tried to, but it was throwing another error. now it succeeded though | 09:24 |
| heap_ | ikonia: i got lost | 09:25 |
| ikonia | heap_: just trust the rsync | 09:25 |
| ikonia | you're making a problem where one doesn't exist | 09:25 |
| heap_ | ikonia: okay | 09:25 |
| heap_ | thanks | 09:25 |
| lokien | ikonia: now it works! thank you very much | 09:27 |
| ikonia | you fixed it yourself | 09:28 |
| ikonia | so thank yourself | 09:28 |
| syadmin | \ | 09:37 |
| heap_ | EriC^^: -sb same issue | 09:48 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 09:48 |
| heap_ | so thats weird | 09:48 |
| EriC^^ | not really | 09:48 |
| heap_ | there is no tool in linux to count total dir size | 09:48 |
| heap_ | between different devices | 09:48 |
| Ben64 | du | 09:49 |
| heap_ | Ben64: what | 09:50 |
| heap_ | Ben64: i use du and results are different. | 09:50 |
| jatt | ncdu | 09:50 |
| Ben64 | heap_: different than what | 09:51 |
| ikonia | heap_: how many times do you have to be told | 09:52 |
| ikonia | heap_: you keep saying "ok - I trust the rsync" then ignoring everything else and keep complaining | 09:52 |
| ikonia | heap_: it's getting tedious now, TRUST the rsync checksum - it is the best confidence you will get | 09:52 |
| lok | if client A needs information from Client C; should it be passed via Server B? | 09:53 |
| ikonia | lok: you've just said something that makes no sense | 09:54 |
| heap_ | ikonia: because i like to double check with different tools | 09:54 |
| lok | ikonia: i want to understand how client server model works | 09:54 |
| heap_ | ikonia: i dont trust one tool | 09:54 |
| ikonia | heap_: you've already double checked | 09:54 |
| ikonia | lok: this is not the channel, nor is #debian | 09:54 |
| ikonia | lok: look at ##progamming and ask a more specific question, such as could someone explain 2 tier client/server architecture | 09:55 |
| heap_ | ikonia: doublechecked how? to 2 times run rsync? | 09:56 |
| ikonia | heap_: no - trust the rsync | 09:56 |
| ikonia | heap_: you are making a problem where one doesn't exist | 09:56 |
| ikonia | the rsync does the copy and the checksum verifys the copy | 09:56 |
| ikonia | there is your two checks, the file list, then the checksum | 09:56 |
| ikonia | trust the checksum, you are creating a problem, | 09:56 |
| lok | ikonia: thanks for advice | 09:57 |

| dreadkopp | http://pastie.org/10799630 | 10:10 |
| sancho_ | i solved but don't know how lol | 10:10 |
| de-facto | dreadkopp i had to manually edit /etc/sensors3.conf for mine to work properly | 10:10 |
| de-facto | i think there are some snippets found for sensors not included in the distro package on their website | 10:11 |
| dreadkopp | de-facto: okay, will check it. however while pwm values are detected an can be changed it seems i do not get any rpm speeds from the chip? http://pastie.org/10799636 | 10:14 |
| de-facto | dreadkopp idk the exact cause, i just made the experience that for my chip i had to slightly customize since it also was partly working only with the default config | 10:15 |
| de-facto | dreadkopp hmm it seems their website is down but maybe https://web.archive.org/web/20150627203042/http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices could help a bit | 10:18 |
| dreadkopp | thanks for the link :) | 10:19 |
| phelix | Can someone please help me figure out how to install nvidia with multiple monitors... i have tried like 100 different tutorials from google. I have reinstalled ubuntu like 4 times.. nothing seems to work | 10:25 |
| phelix | been at this for like 10 hours | 10:27 |
| dreadkopp | phelix: you installed the proprietary drivers? | 10:28 |
| phelix | ive installed one from website ive installed from apt-get install nvidia-current about 20 different ways | 10:29 |
| dreadkopp | phelix: which one is your card? and what is the problem exactly? | 10:31 |
| phelix | gerforce GT 740 | 10:32 |
| === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer | ||
| phelix | only time it works is on fresh install. I can go to the system preferences and additional drivers and select the nvidia option. But only 1 monitor displays. Even if it see's all of them i can't get any other monitor to dispolay anything | 10:33 |
| phelix | i tried installing it from command line now with sudo apt-get install nvidia-352 and now I am in a login loop i type my password and it just repeats | 10:34 |
| dreadkopp | 352 seems about the correct one. You get correct resolution at loginscreen? | 10:35 |
| OnkelTem | Hi all | 10:36 |
| OnkelTem | I wonder at the mess of all those .desktop files in the system | 10:36 |
| dreadkopp | at this point driver should be allready loaded. So your loginloop might be due to something else | 10:37 |
| OnkelTem | Can anyone provide a link to an overview of this mess? | 10:37 |
| phelix | yeah for a single monitor it seemed to be ok | 10:38 |
| phelix | but no other monitors would display anything | 10:38 |
| phelix | login loop happened after i tried to install a different version | 10:39 |
| de-facto | phelix try installing the official nvidia-current from ubuntu repos and then use nvidia-settings to adjust monitors | 10:42 |
| phelix | from their website with the .run file? | 10:43 |
| de-facto | nope nothing from nvidia directly | 10:44 |
| phelix | what ppa has the best nvidia-current? | 10:44 |
| de-facto | from the ubuntu repositories | 10:44 |
| de-facto | !info nvidia-current | 10:44 |
| ubottu | nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304): Transitional package for nvidia-current. In component restricted, is optional. Version 304.131-0ubuntu0.15.10.1 (wily), package size 4 kB, installed size 19 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 10:44 |
| phelix | just what comes stock with ubuntu install? | 10:45 |
| de-facto | yeah i would recommend to go with those | 10:45 |
| phelix | ive tried that like 4 times | 10:45 |
| de-facto | have you used nvidia-settings on that? | 10:45 |
| phelix | only 1 monitor will display | 10:45 |
| phelix | yes | 10:45 |
| de-facto | so what was the exact problem you encountered? | 10:46 |
| phelix | after then installing from command line then i just get login loop | 10:46 |
| de-facto | so you installed nvidia-current on a fresh ubuntu install without installing from third party and get a login loop? | 10:46 |
| phelix | yes on my most recent install | 10:47 |
| phelix | so right from straight fresh install just go to shell and try sudo apt-get install nvidia-current? | 10:48 |
| phelix | don't need to add any extra ppa? | 10:48 |
| ChunkzZ | hi, where can I download the 16.04 RC? | 10:48 |
| de-facto | yes dont use third party, they might mess up your config | 10:48 |
| phelix | and then reboot ? | 10:48 |
| EriC^^ | ChunkzZ: there's no RC, just the daily image | 10:49 |
| ChunkzZ | you sure? | 10:49 |
| EriC^^ | i think so, an op here mentioned it earlier | 10:50 |
| de-facto | ChunkzZ you might want to join #ubuntu+1 for that | 10:50 |

| boxmein | OnkelTem: use xinitrc, but this means you have to make a generic "xinitrc" desktop file and switch to that in lightdm instead of "Ubuntu Desktop" | 11:50 |
| ratrace | bekks: that's not latest :) | 11:51 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: for example | 11:52 |
| bekks | ratrace: It is the latest release. | 11:52 |
| bekks | !16.04 | ratrace | 11:52 |
| ubottu | ratrace: 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 | 11:52 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: I use KDE so I'd like to do it with KDE way :) | 11:52 |
| ratrace | I'm pretty sure Gruburgur was asking bout Xenial :) | 11:53 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: uh, the KDE way assumes that KDE is going to handle running the scripts...which it can't do if it isn't started? | 11:53 |
| requiemd | brainwash: true, it wasn't start because of daemon mode of process in 3proxy.cfg | 11:54 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: what isn't started? Ok, let me explain what I do. I want to run custom xrandr command to properly layout my monitors. Also, I've replaced Plasma with AWM, so I have some way to run my command before AWM starts or it will need a restart if xrandr starts after | 11:55 |
| OnkelTem | I (need to)+ have | 11:55 |

| alcoder | hi, this question is regarding , ensuring the FAT32 SD card is clean (wrt unrecoverable files) before i pass it to next person. The method i followed, is dd if=/dev/zero of=file.txt count=1024 bs=32505856 (32G), and wrote to the sd card with split utility , split --verbose --bytes=3G ./file.txt /media/hifiuser/4CDB-130A/file | 12:05 |
| alcoder | will this ensure that all previous contents in the sectors are over written? | 12:06 |
| lotuspsychje | alcoder: test it with photorec, and try to recover data from it...if photorec cant find it, its gone | 12:06 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: hm, no clue then. you might get away with going straight to X config and skipping the xrandring | 12:09 |
| boxmein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/63681/how-can-i-make-xrandr-customization-permanent | 12:09 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: thanks, will check it out. Currently I'm reading about customizing KDE via Xsetup | 12:09 |
| OnkelTem | 12:09 | |
| OnkelTem | https://www.maketecheasier.com/run-startup-scripts-in-kdm-before-kde-starts/ | 12:10 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: KDE seems fancy... why did you transition from unity? | 12:10 |
| alcoder | lotuspsychje, thank you, | 12:10 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: I've never actually used untity. My background is: fluxbox, blacbox, Gnome2, Gnome3... and I loved Gnome3 until its developers had broken keyboard layout support and afaik 14.04 ships with that broken layouts | 12:12 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: so I had to switch to KDE | 12:13 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: my cycle has currently been gnome-unity-gnome-awesome-lxde-mate-unity-cinnamon-awesome-xmonad-unity, I skipped out on awesome/xmonad because they were neat but have a lot of maintenance and setup overhead before they get to a daily use state | 12:13 |
| OnkelTem | Ahha | 12:13 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: wait, so your X keyboard layouts broke? | 12:13 |
| boxmein | is that related to unity/etc at all, :o | 12:14 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: currently not - KDE has no such an issue | 12:14 |
| OnkelTem | boxmein: as for AWM - totally agreed, and I spent about two weeks (to the moment) and yet haven't tammed it | 12:14 |
| === Charlotte is now known as Guest75138 | ||
| OnkelTem | but! I see a plot on how I will make it do what I want. In any way, I see my future tied to either DWM or AWM :) | 12:16 |
| boxmein | OnkelTem: once I spend considerable time setting it up how I want and implementing cool UI I'll get to use it too :P | 12:17 |

| chaouki | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 12:41 |
| EriC^^ | chaouki: it means something else is using dpkg like software-center or another terminal | 12:41 |

| MaybeADumbQuesti | hello - why are the file / edit / help menus not in the window of the application? Is that a glitch or by design? | 12:59 |
| baizon | MaybeADumbQuesti: i dont understand your question | 13:01 |
| lotuspsychje | MaybeADumbQuesti: if you mean on unity, its a setting you set menu's ontop visible or not | 13:01 |
| baizon | MaybeADumbQuesti: its a design, but you can also change it | 13:01 |
| MaybeADumbQuesti | Where do you change it? And is there a reason why somebody would want to leave it like that or is it 100% personal preference? | 13:01 |
| ouroumov | It's personal preference | 13:02 |
| lotuspsychje | MaybeADumbQuesti: appereance icon/2nd tab | 13:02 |
| MaybeADumbQuesti | For the longest time I thought the app was corrupted or something because I didn't see the menu bar at the top of the screen, out of the window | 13:02 |
| MaybeADumbQuesti | Awesome! Thank you! | 13:03 |
| MaybeADumbQuesti | Out of curiosity, is there a functional reason why some people like it the other way? | 13:03 |
| macskay | Hey guys, i'm trying to setup a postfix server. At the moment I can send mails from the CLI, but can't receive any. When trying to "telnet" to port 25 it tells me "Connection closed by foreign host". Has anyone experienced that before? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | macskay: it's not configured properly | 13:04 |
| ikonia | macskay: are you doing this on a home connection | 13:04 |
| macskay | Nope on a dedicated server | 13:04 |
| ikonia | macskay: ok - so you need to configure postfix to listen on that address and have control rules in place of what can connect to it | 13:05 |
| hexhaxtron | Can someone suggest me a cheap scanner/printer that works well with Ubuntu? | 13:05 |
| ikonia | macskay: a look at the logs will tell you why it's closing straight away | 13:05 |
| DEFKOR | hello, check out my debian, http://sh.st/Iex1p , i built from linux from scratch using mac UI | 13:05 |
| macskay | ikonia: I did that hang on, i'll show you my conf. | 13:05 |
| ikonia | macskay: I don't want to see your conf | 13:05 |
| ikonia | macskay: look in the logs and that will tell you why it's closing straight away | 13:05 |
| lotuspsychje | MaybeADumbQuesti: no menu text can be less confusing for the users who like it | 13:05 |
| DEFKOR | please give me some feedback :) | 13:05 |
| ikonia | DEFKOR: no thanks | 13:05 |
| macskay | ikonia: Hm yes, but why can I send mails when it's closing down? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | DEFKOR: this is an ubuntu support channel | 13:06 |
| ikonia | macskay: "send mails when it's closing down" ??? | 13:06 |
| macskay | well you suggest the mailserver closes down, thus I can't connect via telnet, but why can I send mails from CLI when the mailserver is down | 13:06 |
| ikonia | macskay: the mail server isn't down | 13:07 |
| ikonia | macskay: it's refusing connections from your host | 13:07 |
| ikonia | sending mail from the command line is probably referencing localhost | 13:07 |
| macskay | oh you meant "closing down" as in "closing down" the connection to my host from home | 13:07 |
| === metaphysician is now known as meta-coder | ||

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 13:22 |
| znr | heya peeps! I have an issue with my 'new' screen. After setting the resolution - a part of the image is outside the screen... how can I fix this? | 13:26 |
| bekks | znr: Sounds like your screen doesnt support your selected resolution. | 13:29 |
| znr | bekks:: is there a way to get around this? | 13:31 |
| bekks | znr: Select a resolution that is supported by your screen. | 13:32 |
| znr | the screen itself - according to the specs - should support the resolution | 13:32 |
| bekks | So which exact model is it? | 13:32 |
| znr | http://specsen.com/monitors-lg/lg-flatron-l1917s/ | 13:32 |
| znr | which file to edit? | 13:33 |
| bekks | File to edit? | 13:33 |
| znr | yes | 13:33 |
| bekks | You cannot magically make your screen support resolutions :D | 13:33 |
| bekks | Which resolution do you use? | 13:34 |
| znr | but I can manually edit the values | 13:34 |
| bekks | Which values? | 13:34 |
| znr | 1280x1024 was not to choose | 13:34 |
| bekks | znr: And which resolution ARE you using then...? | 13:35 |
| znr | CRT-1: 1360x768 | 13:35 |
| bekks | znr: thats a resolution not supported by your screen. | 13:36 |
| znr | can not even get the screens name in nvidia-settings | 13:36 |
| bekks | znr: Use a supported resolution. Maximum is 1280x1024 for your screen. | 13:36 |
| znr | I edited the nvidia-settings to use 1280x1024 now (manually) and it works - kind of | 13:38 |
| wh3ko19 | Is there any desktop environment like Cinnamon that works well with Ubuntu? I really like how Cinnamon works, but it's been getting increasingly unstable. | 13:38 |
| wh3ko19 | Can't get Japanese IME support to work properly. | 13:39 |
| wh3ko19 | When I do "shut down" it gives a popup that says "Really shut down?" with the only option being "cancel" | 13:39 |
| wh3ko19 | Various other issues. | 13:39 |
| wh3ko19 | I am thinking I might have to switch to Arch with Cinnamon, but I don't know how much of the stuff in my home folder and whatnot will be compatible across distros. | 13:40 |
| bekks | wh3ko19: For a stable release, just use Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu or Xubuntu. | 13:41 |
| wh3ko19 | Those are not desktop environments... | 13:41 |
| bekks | Ubuntu uses Unity, Lubuntu uses LXDE, Kubuntu uses KDE and Xubuntu uses XFCE | 13:42 |
| === ejat_ is now known as ejat | ||
| wh3ko19 | Yes. I'm looking for something similar to Cinnamon. | 13:42 |
| wh3ko19 | And I won't use Mint for security reasons. | 13:43 |
| bekks | wh3ko19: None of them is. | 13:43 |
| wh3ko19 | Hm. Guess I'll have to switch to Arch. | 13:43 |
| wh3ko19 | Anyone know how difficult the switch is? | 13:43 |
| bekks | For a desktop environment? :) | 13:43 |
| wh3ko19 | No, I think Cinnamon has better support for Arch. | 13:44 |
| bekks | wh3ko19: Expect thiings tp break regularly with every update, since Arch is a rolling release distro. | 13:44 |
| bekks | Expect things in your home not working, since Arch may use different settings. | 13:44 |
| wh3ko19 | It's kind of a pain, I really wish Mint weren't such a colossal mess. | 13:44 |
| bekks | Besides that: Good luck. You'll need it. | 13:44 |
| wh3ko19 | I really love Cinnamon. | 13:45 |
| bekks | There is even Ubuntu MATE. | 13:45 |
| wh3ko19 | I think I prefer GTK3. | 13:46 |

| captainfantastic | is docker for xenial not in their ppa yet? | 13:47 |
| bekks | captainfantastic: Ask in #ubuntu+1 | 13:47 |
| wh3ko19 | andywork: Last time I used it it was decent but there were a lot of concerns expressed about the security and the way updates are handled. | 13:47 |
| wh3ko19 | andywork: Then recently a compromised ISO was released in the wild. | 13:48 |

| lotuspsychje | reeed: why dont you place the hd directly in the second machine, and install grub from your wanted ubuntu? | 14:19 |

| lotuspsychje | reeed: there's a nice 'plop boot manager' that can force old laptops to boot ubuntu usb | 14:22 |
| reeed | ah, but you have to setup the BIOS to boot from USB, no? | 14:23 |

| aclaudem | Any gtk high contrast themes besides the one ubuntu comes with? (I already checked gnome-look) | 15:00 |
| citizen_ | high contrast like black and white? | 15:01 |
| aclaudem | Doesnt have to be black and white, but yes | 15:01 |
| citizen_ | my wife was just looking at those lastnight i think the website was boxlook.com or something to that effect | 15:02 |
| aclaudem | Oh yeah thats the openbox+gtk2 (old gnome) | 15:02 |
| aclaudem | (Ill check if they have gtk3) | 15:03 |
| aclaudem | thanks! | 15:03 |
| citizen_ | they do im almost positive | 15:03 |
| citizen_ | no problem | 15:03 |

| dean_ | Ah it's back again. This is the most annoying thing ever. | 16:15 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: I assume it wouldn’t be useable really. Maybe you could mount it if you have the offsets for the partition beginnings and endings. I don’t know what happens if your dd exceeds your partition size either. I would hope it would not overflow to the next partition (I assume that it wouldn’t because that sounds like it could be a security flaw if it did) | 16:15 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: I once exploited a security bug caused by a school's dual-boot configuration, since the systems could access each other's partitions | 16:16 |
| citizen_ | dean - you run conky also? | 16:16 |

| citizen_ | nedstark you should get that stickied for the topic lol | 16:18 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: well, I'm just gonna use kpartx, since I ain't running experiments on my hard drive | 16:18 |

| mahesh | hi guys..i have small doubt please dont think foolish..normally people every time use sudo to get and install something to have root permissions,instead of typing password everytime,why cant we in root everytime??someone said we should nt be in root all the time..please guys clarify me | 17:25 |
| akik | mahesh: you can accomplish that with "sudo -i" | 17:27 |
| mahesh | akik :yes normally i will use sudo -i only to get in to root | 17:27 |
| superfirelord42 | mahesh: Are you asking why we should not from a security/safety/design standpoint? | 17:27 |
| hep7 | no one? | 17:28 |
| mahesh | superfirelord42 : i dont know much about am a newbie ..what is security/safety/design standpoint? | 17:28 |
| akik | mahesh: ubuntu has chosen to do it that way | 17:29 |
| mahesh | superfirelord42 : why we should not be in root ,once we are in normal user ,we will use sudo -i or something to get in root ,but my doubt is can we be in root all time? | 17:29 |
| heebiejeebies | it makes it harder to totally screw up your system accidentally under a normal user account | 17:30 |
| superfirelord42 | mahesh: One reason possibly (and people may argue on this), is if you run everything in root, if something gets exploited, it will have access to everything. Example: (not saying its prone to hacking etc) firefox | 17:30 |
| superfirelord42 | You wouldn’t want to run it as root | 17:30 |
| heebiejeebies | if you have to type "sudo", you have to really mean what you're about to type :P | 17:30 |
| mahesh | instead of using sudo apt-get install etc ,if we are in root no need to type password everytime right? | 17:30 |
| superfirelord42 | Also it helps prevent you accidently rm -rf / (done it before accidently while in root) | 17:30 |
| heebiejeebies | @mahesh correct. | 17:30 |
| \ni | hep7 are you using nautilus? ctrl+h to toggle hidden files visibility | 17:31 |
| mahesh | heebie : but if we are aware of what we are doing ,no problem right even if we are on root everytime? | 17:32 |
| hep7 | nautilus is a dir/explorer? | 17:32 |
| \ni | yes | 17:32 |
| heebiejeebies | @mahesh any software you run as root will have full powers to destroy your system | 17:32 |
| dean_ | I've been having a keyboard issue for days now. My ctrl key presses by itself and the shift key releases by itself. Its not hardware. windows works fine. can anyone help? | 17:32 |
| hep7 | \ni: what is difference if i uncheck from the menu? | 17:32 |
| mahesh | super : yes i agree with rm -rf ..but any other particular reason? | 17:32 |
| heebiejeebies | @mahesh if you accidentally run malicous code as a normal user, damage is somewhat limited. If you accidentally run malicious code as root, it could be really really bad | 17:34 |
| superfirelord42 | mahesh: It helps prevent applications that can be exploited or can cause damage from having full access. | 17:34 |
| mahesh | heebie : suppose as example we are installing virtual box and chrome and vlc etc etc files ,,so instead of typing sudo apt-get install ,why can't i be in root directly? will it distroy my system? | 17:34 |
| hep7 | \ni: every time i open it it shows hidden files | 17:34 |
| \ni | hep7 I'm not sure | 17:34 |
| hep7 | \ni: i can see the shortcut is ctrl+h | 17:34 |
| mahesh | even we are using sudo right for that also ,but it would nt be a problem? | 17:34 |
| superfirelord42 | mahesh: its really more from a design/safety/security reason. | 17:34 |
| heebiejeebies | @mahesh "sudo" command = "run as root". It does the same thing | 17:34 |
| \ni | hep7, for me it remembers my last choice | 17:34 |
| hep7 | \ni: yes it is not remembering it | 17:35 |
| hep7 | \ni: mine is really buggy | 17:35 |
| dean_ | There's no danger in becoming root if you are doing so to perform administration tasks and exit when finished. but it will mess up the permissions of some files if you do normal tasks under root. | 17:35 |
| mahesh | so you people also agree that it's better to not be on root always? | 17:35 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: in case you were curious, experiemental results are in. | 17:35 |
| dean_ | Like if you download a movie under root the file will be owned by root. | 17:35 |

| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: if its bigger, of course it won’t mount, but I ran fdisk -lu /dev/sda3 and then I did sudo losetup -o 1048576 /dev/loop0 /dev/sda3 && fsck /dev/loop0 | 17:38 |
| hep7 | what major bugs 16.04 has? | 17:38 |
| dean_ | heebiejeebies Exactly! It's so annoying. I'm a programmer and it's driving me crazy | 17:38 |
| superfirelord42 | fsck found ext3 fs perfectly | 17:38 |
| Oflor | The tablet is Asus T100HA and the wifi module is some of broadcomm's | 17:38 |
| dean_ | And every now and then ctrl presses itself and depending on the key i press something mad might happen | 17:39 |
| mahesh | i installed qemu on my ubuntu ..any one can tell me command to get debian jessie on other terminal | 17:39 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: the partitions can be mounted using fdisk to find the start blocks. That being said, I don’t know why anyone would ever do this intentionally to themselves :) | 17:39 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: so it found the partition even though it's nested like that? | 17:39 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: either on accident, or by masochism | 17:39 |
| dean_ | derp_commander Kali is based off debian. Debian suggests having a root user and no user with sudo rights. Ubuntu suggests the opposite. Different views on security I guess | 17:40 |
| derp_commander | dean_: not different views, different purposes | 17:40 |
| superfirelord42 | Yes, because fdisk doesn’t care that /dev/sda3 is a partition rather than being like /usr/sda3.img, to it, its both a file. It reads it as such. | 17:40 |
| derp_commander | Kali isn't meant to be a general purpose distro, and you'd be crazy to try to use it as one | 17:40 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: so I would say it found the partition boundries/starts by design. It worked (mostly) as intended | 17:41 |
| akik | superfirelord42: it's better to learn how to do it in case you need it one day :) | 17:41 |
| dean_ | derp_commander. I would say that debian and ubuntu provide the same purpose. | 17:41 |
| heebiejeebies | @dean_ wired or wireless keyboard? | 17:41 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: what if that image contained multiple filesystem types? | 17:41 |
| superfirelord42 | akik: true | 17:41 |
| derp_commander | dean_: Kali is a special-purpose derivative of Debian, not Debian proper | 17:42 |
| dean_ | heebiejeebies: laptop keyboard. I have a wireless keyboard also but that works fine.The laptop keyboard works fine on windows | 17:42 |
| === afkthairus is now known as athairus | ||
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: I assume your loop would be larger than your FS so you do risk overwriting your other partitions if you try to dd of=/dev/loop0, but then you are writing to an image of an image of an image or something. | 17:42 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: but you could create a loop mount for each offset partition on the device and mount it. | 17:42 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: diskception! | 17:42 |
| akik | :) | 17:43 |
| superfirelord42 | That being said, the same commands I got it to work with would work on the image directly to mount it as a loop. | 17:43 |
| superfirelord42 | One of the beautiful things about treating everything like files. :P | 17:44 |
| dean_ | derp_commander: yup i understand that. I used kali for a long time. Cool distro. But it follows the same sudo / root principle as debian. I was just trying to say that debian and ubuntu have contrasting views on the best way to perform admin tasks | 17:44 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: indeed | 17:45 |
| derp_commander | dean_: strictly speaking, all sudo does is elevate a given process to root via setuid | 17:45 |
| derp_commander | *seteuid | 17:45 |
| derp_commander | I think, one of those two | 17:45 |
| dean_ | derp_commander: Yeah I know but everyone was discussing this and I was trying to make small talk while trying to get my keyboard fixed :P | 17:46 |
| * derp_commander hi-fives newjersey | 17:47 | |

| alfatau | hello all. I'm looking for some offline file organization software that does not rely on a db. I found tagspaces quite similar to what was in my mind, however it relies on renamed filenames and I don't like it. Isn't there some standard linux tool to add/modify tags on files? Also, I'm using btrfs filesystem now, and I wonder why it did not introdu | 17:47 |
| alfatau | ced some attributes like tags to add to files, to be able to perform semantic searches... | 17:47 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: I always use aptitude for things, since apt-get's wonderful dependency resolution trashed one of my systems | 17:47 |
| dean_ | superfirelord42: That would mean you were already root.... | 17:47 |
| superfirelord42 | dean_: true, but I could have gotten there via su and then lock the root account behind me later via sudo | 17:48 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: true, but old habits…. | 17:49 |
| dean_ | die hard? | 17:49 |
| superfirelord42 | yepper | 17:49 |
| dean_ | Mr robot reference? | 17:49 |
| derp_commander | superfirelord42: old habits die very quickly in the face of adverse stimuli | 17:49 |
| superfirelord42 | derp_commander: likely | 17:50 |
| sunnyredaardvark | How do I interpret the output of `sensors` from package `lm-sensors`. Why are there three cpu temps on a dual core cpu? One is part of acpi, but what it is? http://paste.ubuntu.com/15877850/ | 17:50 |
| derp_commander | sunnyredaardvark: most computers have an array of temperature sensors | 17:50 |
| === kalen_not-here is now known as kalen | ||
| derp_commander | looks pretty straightforward in your case. one sensor for each core, and one more for the PCI adapter | 17:51 |
| derp_commander | mine has additional ones on the GPU, motherboard, hard drive, intake port, and fan exhaust | 17:52 |
| sunnyredaardvark | derp_commander: What is the one called 'cpu temperature' in ACPI | 17:53 |
| derp_commander | sunnyredaardvark: ah didn't see that. probably another one situated on the CPU's housing | 17:54 |

| artisanIndia | I want to give access of my server to my brother with a new account I want him to have complete ownership on his folder without interfering other files he should also not be able to see my files nothing just the folder assigned to him | 18:15 |
| Bashing-om | artisanIndia: Make a group and add your brother to that group : http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Permissions . | 18:18 |
| artisanIndia | is chroot an option Bashing-om | 18:19 |
| artisanIndia | ? | 18:19 |
| Bashing-om | artisanIndia: You will have better control at the group level . | 18:19 |
| artisanIndia | ok going through the article | 18:19 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: why does a normal user not work? | 18:19 |
| artisanIndia | I want him to be a sudoer on his folder only | 18:20 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: this doesnt make sense to me, pls explain | 18:20 |
| artisanIndia | I want a account on my server which will host files of my brother to make changes on his files etc he definitely need sudo permission but I dont want him to list or change my files | 18:21 |
| Bashing-om | artisanIndia: A user has complete control in "his" home directory - only ! | 18:21 |
| artisanIndia | this question on SO explains clearlly http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/208960/how-to-restrict-a-user-to-one-folder-and-not-allow-them-to-move-out-his-folder | 18:22 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: why does he need sudo (root) if he only has access to his files? | 18:22 |
| artisanIndia | if I login to this newly created account using su --login username and I try to do mkdir it says permission denied | 18:23 |
| artisanIndia | he should have read/write access to his files | 18:23 |
| cliffer | so you did su --login brother; mkdir someDir? | 18:23 |
| artisanIndia | yes | 18:24 |
| artisanIndia | but I got permission denied issue | 18:24 |
| cliffer | what about su --login brother; cd; mkdir someDir? | 18:24 |
| hep7 | who wants to try an android app?! | 18:25 |

| Bashing-om | artisanIndia: " i solved my problem by this way : " looks good to me as as advised in the uppers . | 18:26 |
| cliffer | do you know why it is working now? | 18:26 |
| hep7 | k1l_: too many paranoids there | 18:26 |
| artisanIndia | Bashing-om: the article you gave me is way too long | 18:26 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: do you know why mkdir it is working now? | 18:26 |
| artisanIndia | let me see if I can make it work out | 18:27 |
| k1l_ | hep7: well its offtopic here. better ask in #ubuntu-offtopic since this is technical ubuntu support only | 18:27 |
| hep7 | k1l_: right | 18:27 |
| Bashing-om | artisanIndia: Reading is good ... you have a long life . | 18:27 |
| hep7 | k1l_: i am just asking all | 18:27 |
| cliffer | Bashing-om: n1 answer :) | 18:27 |
| artisanIndia | yes I know because I was trying to make a directory in the new-user/some-folder | 18:27 |
| artisanIndia | whose owner is root | 18:27 |
| artisanIndia | cliffer: ^ | 18:29 |
| cliffer | i dont think so | 18:29 |
| hep7 | k1l_: btw my os is really buggy | 18:30 |
| cliffer | lets assume your are root, current dir /home/root/. after login as your brother, you are brother, current dir /home/root/. mkdir now creates a folder in /home/root/ (which is denied for your brother). if you change first to your brothers home dir (with cd) and mkdir then, it works | 18:31 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: ^^ | 18:31 |
| Smashcat | Hi, anyone know why Ubuntu can't see my second GPU? I have 2 x GTX680's, using the Nvidia drivers (downloaded from the Nvidia site). It can only see 1 card though. lspci shows both cards. Disabled the Nouvelle driver. | 18:31 |
| artisanIndia | yes it does work cliffer | 18:31 |
| cliffer | regarding openldap: on ubuntu, apparently the /etc/ldap/slap.d/ dir is used for schemas, not the config file. is there any way of automatically converting the schemas from /etc/ldap/schemas/ to slad.d dir? | 18:32 |
| artisanIndia | but by logging into my root user I created a directory which ultimately belongs to user root so after logging to my brother I was not able to create a directory inside that directory which was created by user root | 18:32 |
| artisanIndia | after changing the ownership of /my-brother/the-directory I am able to create directories inside | 18:33 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: thats correct | 18:33 |
| cliffer | so what is your question? | 18:33 |
| artisanIndia | one problem is solved | 18:33 |
| maddawg2 | soooo turns out aliens are real | 18:34 |
| artisanIndia | the second is if my brother logs into my server with his credentials I dont want him to see my files he should be limited to his folder only | 18:34 |
| artisanIndia | you found them maddawg2 | 18:34 |
| artisanIndia | ? | 18:34 |
| maddawg2 | yep | 18:34 |

| maddawg2 | neighbor just got arrested by immigration | 18:35 |
| maddawg2 | crazy | 18:35 |
| artisanIndia | I havent tried yet logging into his account alkisg let me check now and get back | 18:35 |
| alkisg | artisanIndia: no I mean how are you planning for him to use your server | 18:36 |
| artisanIndia | via ssh alkisg | 18:36 |
| cliffer | artisanIndia: normally, he shouldnt be able to change to your home dir | 18:36 |
| cliffer | try to cd /home/your_user as your brother | 18:36 |
| alkisg | artisanIndia: then he'll need an operating system, he'll need to see /usr, /bin and the other folders. So he can't only be seeing his own home folder. You can prevent him from seeing your own folder, and you can use a chroot to setup an operating system just for him. | 18:37 |
| artisanIndia | yes you are right I just tried creating a file by logging into the serve rusing his account and that account is not able to create or delete a file because the ownership of those files are root | 18:38 |
| artisanIndia | perfect | 18:38 |
| artisanIndia | thanks guys | 18:38 |

| Smashcat | rindolf: I never use AMD GPUs - find them terrible under Windows. | 19:23 |
| Fuchs | don't worry, they are also terrible in Linux | 19:23 |
| Fuchs | anyway, what we'd need is a backtrace from one of the applications crashing | 19:23 |
| Fuchs | so we'd have a rough idea where it happens | 19:23 |
| Fuchs | might be some common library. However, nvidia being the culprit is unlikely unless all of them use OpenGL in a way or the other | 19:24 |

| Smashcat | Fuchs: I might just disable the second GPU again though. It seemed ok before I enabled it and Xinerama | 19:37 |
| Fuchs | Smashcat: seems to be the keyboard, then | 19:37 |
| Fuchs | Smashcat: yeah, the report warns you of instability if you enable xinerama and composite (which is needed by most things today) | 19:37 |
| Smashcat | Fuchs: Yes, it's a gaming keyboard (Logitech G910) | 19:37 |
| Fuchs | Smashcat: I think it should be possible without xinerama though, hang on | 19:37 |

| derp_commander | Fuchs: so what should replace it? | 19:40 |
| Fuchs | probably. Doesn't look too complicated though, the article is lenghty due to various configurations (single GPU, dual GPU, dual GPU with SLI etc.) | 19:40 |

| Foxfinity | well it's part of the setup toonboom install. .cshrc needs to launch toonboom according to the docs. | 19:43 |
| Foxfinity | the docs are for centos but the tech said it would work on ubuntu too. | 19:43 |
| Fuchs | if they need anything specific in that cshrc, I'd ask them | 19:43 |
| derp_commander | Fuchs: might not apply to the current version, but there at least used to be some limitations on it | 19:44 |
| Fuchs | otherwise I'd just go with a default, which should be created on first use | 19:44 |
| Fuchs | derp_commander: such as? | 19:44 |
| k1l_ | Foxfinity: the standard shell from ubuntu is bash | 19:45 |
| derp_commander | RandR 1.2 permits only one virtual screen per display device. It is not possible to assign each monitor on a device to a different screen (sometimes called https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaphod_Beeblebrox#Cultural_references), or to combine monitors from multiple devices into a single screen.[4] One practical limiting effect of this is that it is not possible to run a different | 19:46 |
| Fuchs | yes, but that odd software requires csh, for whatever odd reason | 19:46 |
| derp_commander | https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager on each monitor, since window managers are limited to one per screen. Some of these specific issues are resolved in RandR 1.3.[5] | 19:46 |
| Fuchs | derp_commander: you know how old even RandR 1.3 is, yes? | 19:46 |
| Foxfinity | gotcha good call on it being there already | 19:46 |
| Fuchs | derp_commander: so a kind request: unless you have half an idea of what you are talking about, stay out of it. | 19:46 |
| derp_commander | Fuchs: no, and it says only some of them were address | 19:46 |
| derp_commander | k | 19:47 |
| Foxfinity | how would you launch a program in it? | 19:47 |
| Fuchs | Foxfinity: as in every other shell: you specify the program to start, if it is not in $PATH: with the full path | 19:47 |
| Foxfinity | that easy eh? | 19:47 |
| Fuchs | Foxfinity: I wouldn't recommend starting anything directly from a (login)shellrc, but if, then the company / person offering said software should have it documented | 19:48 |
| Foxfinity | alrighty, hey thanks for all your help fuchs | 19:51 |
| Fuchs | you're welcome | 19:51 |

I've already got a bootable USB, booted my MacBook from that and noticed that the live environment seems to have all the required drivers (WiFi, graphics, etc). Now if I want to actually install this, do I only need to shrink my system partition to create some space, or do I need anything else such as a bootloader? | 21:19 |

| dean_ | Hi. I'm having an issue with the keyboard on my HP - Pavilion laptop. The Shift Key seems to release itself at random. So does the alt key. This makes it impossible to alt + tab to switch windows or to write in capitals. On top of that the ctrl key presses itself at random. Which causes me to open new tabs and close documents and stuff. | 21:40 |
| dean_ | I've tried a lot already but if anyone has any suggestions fire ahead :] thanks guys. | 21:40 |
| dean_ | By the way the keyboard works fine under windows so I don't think it's hardware. | 21:40 |

| flickwitwhore | it is a better security practice not to add users to the sudoers file | 21:50 |
| k1l_ | flickwitwhore: its not. | 21:51 |
| Smashcat | Thanks that's the one. So the old ifup/ifdown and networking scripts are just redundant now? Wonder why they've left them lying around... | 21:51 |
| flickwitwhore | using su -c "command" has the same functionality and forces users to know the root password | 21:51 |
| flickwitwhore | why isnt it? | 21:51 |
| k1l_ | flickwitwhore: this is #ubuntu and ubuntu is build around using sudo | 21:51 |
| Fuchs | and where root, by default, is passwordless and disabled, so that won't work | 21:52 |
| k1l_ | flickwitwhore: so stop giving bad advice. if you want the ways other distributions run root then see #linux or the other distros support channels | 21:52 |

| Apachez | so ehm... when using startup disk creator to create your live-cd on a usb drive, how do I preselect the keyboard layout to be swedish instead of default english? That is so the user booting on this usb drive wont have to each and every time go to the upper left and select proper keyboard layout | 22:21 |
| Apachez | locale=se nor locale=sv in grub.cfg on the usb drive seems to have solved that | 22:21 |

| bazhang | #ubuntu+1 for that skypce | 23:08 |
| m000gle | Could someone please explain how to completely disable the HDMI sound devices on my workstation? I assume there is a configuration file where HDMI audio can be blacklisted, or something similar, but I'm not sure where to look | 23:08 |
| bazhang | m000gle, using pavucontrol/padevchooser? what have you tried so far | 23:09 |
| skypce | hey m000gle disable hda intel audio from bios | 23:10 |
| skypce | you have integrated audio right? | 23:10 |
| m000gle | @skypce This is the the DisplayPort/HDMI a pair of Nvidia GTX760 video cards | 23:11 |
| m000gle | Integrated udio has already been disabled via BIOS, as I use a USB DAC | 23:11 |
| m000gle | @bazhang both HDMI/DP audio output options are set to off using pavucontrol | 23:15 |
| m000gle | @bazhang I am hoping to fully disable them, so that they are not even an option in pavucontrol, or the system audio settings | 23:15 |

| Apachez | solution, alter /boot/grub/grub.cfg on the live-cd for Ubuntu so the bootstring also got this: locale=sv_SE setkmap=se keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=se now swedish as locale and swedish keyboard will be preselected right after boot when you choose "try ubuntu" | 23:17 |
| skypce | Apachez, create a gist | 23:17 |
| skypce | may be someone like you need that answer | 23:18 |
