[00:00] hiii [00:00] what is this vmlinuz thing? [00:00] can i delete it? [00:00] Todo bien gente? [00:01] PinixHead: vmlinuz is to linux what ntkernel is to windows. You will make your system unbootable if you delete it === sparklyballs_2 is now known as sparklybalsl === sparklybalsl is now known as sparklyballs_ === sparklyballs_ is now known as Sparklyballs [00:02] interesting nickname [00:02] genii: the kernel? [00:03] PinixHead: Yes [00:03] vmlinuz is a link to /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-34-generic [00:04] PinixHead: It will always be a link to the latest kernel that you currently have installed on your system [00:05] so is it safe to upgrade the kernel? [00:06] PinixHead, In order to be familiar with Linux I recommend going through the journey of installing and using Gentoo Linux [00:06] PinixHead: Your boot loader points to the symlink "vmlinuz" for kernel to boot to. [00:06] denysonique: He can get familiar with linux with any distro, (Ubuntu included), so.... [00:07] denysonique: i will check it [00:07] vfw, genii: fwiw, my 16.04 system does not any longer (although it's possibly I deleted the symlinks, I don't believe I did) [00:08] nacc: Really? Does grub just use the actual file name? [00:08] vfw: yeah, mine does, at least :) [00:08] Interesting [00:08] vfw: and there are hooks for keeping it clean, etc. [00:08] nacc: That's interesting. I wonder why... [00:09] in theory, presuming statefulness of the configuration, you don't need the symlinks, really [00:09] why is gentoo going to help me understand linux better than ubuntu? [00:09] vfw: but i'm not 100% sure [00:09] nacc: Symlinks hare always worked just fine, not sure why they'd change the default way of doing it. [00:10] vfw: again, not necessarily saying I know it's changed everywhere, I just ahppened to look on my system due to the above discussion :) [00:10] nacc: Ok. [00:11] PinixHead: Actually, if you really do want to understand how a linux distribution is created, and you have much patience, see !lfs [00:11] where would you go to talk to canonical employees? [00:12] genii: linux from scratch? [00:13] PinixHead: Yes. [00:13] great [00:14] NIX: They use a private IRC now. To reach them, use their Contact email on the website [00:14] ok [00:15] NIX: http://www.ubuntu.com/about/contact-us [00:15] now i'm just trying to have a general understanding of a linux-based os === Hey is now known as Guest56299 [00:15] PinixHead: You are in the right place. [00:15] i'm exploring the directories now.. [00:16] PinixHead: The Linux Documention Project website is good for a general understanding of what all linux distributions have in common [00:16] PinixHead: there are tons of resources on Youtube, as well as the Linux Kernel for Newbies site. [00:17] Hi, I have some issues with Ubuntu 14.04 display. It's not displaying properly. There is huge black border. could any one knows how to fix it. [00:17] No need to nag the Canonical developers, they have a lot of more important things to do. [00:18] geez i reinstalled 16.04 today and lost a bunch of stuff oh well [00:18] or 02 whatever it is heh [00:19] could anyone tell me how to fix the weired display issue with ubuntu 14.04 [00:20] My PC is set to dual boot Win10/Ubuntu, with the grub boot loader. Unfortunately my keyboard doesn't seem to initialize until Ubuntu starts up, so I have no way to select windows. Anyone know how to fix this? My mobo is msi 970a-g43 [00:20] '-' === hwang4 is now known as hwang4-afk === coup_de_shitlord is now known as stqism [00:23] syed: sounds like a graphics config issue. Have you tried tweaking? === jiffe is now known as fxmulder === fxmulder is now known as jiffe [00:26] Had a positive 15.10 --> 16.04 experience FWIW: took all of 30 minutes. No issues. [00:26] And this is pretty bleeding edge hardware [00:29] I found 15.10 --> 16.04 bumpier than expected, considering it's to an LTS. But that may depend on use case, I believe my issues focussed on dual monitors, bluetooth audio, and python-googleapi [00:30] maxb: yea, I haven't yet tested 'everything,' but everything I've tried seems to work...all the essentials, anyway. [00:38] Hey im trying to install an old wifi card, like a wireless g one. But it doesnt come up in drivers jockey or whatever. How may I tell what chipset it uses [00:43] robotdevil1, lspci lsusb personally I like to use inxi -Nx ( sudo apt install inxi in a terminal) [00:43] lspci ony shows broadcom [00:43] its a pcicard [00:44] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:45] robotdevil1, that url should get you going [00:45] robotdevil1: lspci -k [00:45] Unassigned class [ffdf]: Broadcom Corporation Device df60 (rev 02) [00:47] robotdevil1: that link looks pretty thorough...

[00:57] hello [00:57] I'm trying to customize my keyboard layout and compose key [00:57] can anyone help? [00:57] i am a new ubuntu [00:57] has anybody here had issues with linux/ubuntu reporting less than 64gb of ram? [00:57] i am looking for a application, C# for ubuntu [00:57] my bios reports 65535, linux does not [00:58] daed: it reports less than 64 GB for me [00:58] ksft: [00:58] total used free shared buff/cache available [00:58] Mem: 62013 1774 58772 27 1466 60048 [00:58] that's probably because I have less than that, though [00:58] oh [00:58] actually, I'm not sure I've checked [00:58] i don't know where the other 2gb is going... [00:58] daed: You should use a pastebin [00:58] I assume it reports the correct amount for me [00:58] vfw: i thought 2 and under lines are pastable. [00:58] daed: paste.ubuntu.com [00:58] daed, some mem is used by onboard cpu/hdd controller/cpu cache etc .. [00:59] so the rule is even 1 line has to be pasted? [00:59] or 2? [00:59] !paste [00:59] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [00:59] interesting, i always thought it was >3, at least most other channels do it that way [00:59] daed: it's probably fine [00:59] !topic [00:59] Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [00:59] no one probably minds [00:59] lol [01:00] squinty: ... yeah, out of 15 programming channels i go to, that is just the usual rule [01:00] guess this one is different [01:00] * squinty thinks it's two [01:00] i will adhere to that rule! [01:00] so we've talked more about pasting 2 lines into pastebin than understanding how 2gb of ram can vanish [01:00] :( [01:01] daed: can you pastebin `dmesg` output? [01:01] so can someone help me? [01:01] daed: and `cat /proc/meminfo` [01:01] daed, again: some mem is used to address onboard gpu/hdd controller/cpu cache etc .. [01:01] gtkminh-ubuntu-p: isn't that a m$ thing? mono is the linux equivalent [01:01] iirc [01:01] https://paste.ubuntu.com/16121653/ [01:02] nacc: yeah, meminfo showed the same at the top [01:02] in terms of missing mem [01:02] i'll paste that too [01:02] meminfo output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/16121655/ [01:02] "Memory: 63401532K/64594104K available (8356K kernel code, 1278K rwdata, 3920K rodata, 1476K init, 1292K bss, 1192572K reserved, 0K cma-reserved)" [01:02] is the relevant line from dmesg, fwiw [01:03] there's quite a bit reserved [01:03] daed: also for blow by blow -> System Monitor [01:03] strange [01:03] 100s of production servers and i've never seen that occur [01:03] but those are older kernels [01:04] losing over 1gb of ram for reservation seems extreme [01:04] daed: different BIOS levels? possibly -- the e820 map is where that comes from, iirc [01:04] daed: you can do the math from the dmesg output, and check it [01:04] daed: but basically, the BIOS is saying there are physical ranges that are reserved [01:05] bios reported 65535, also, i just upgraded from 32gb to 64gb... and i never saw any reserved losses at 32gb [01:05] maybe 64gb motherboard/bios/linux issue? [01:05] daed: BIOS saying 64G is present doesn't mean it allows an OS to use all 64G (aiui) [01:06] so bios is cool with handing OS all 32gb when i had 32gb, but now it's being stingy [01:06] i'm curious how it responds to windows in that case [01:07] 1 or 2 G pretty small overhead for 64 GB. I woudn't be too concerned.... [01:07] Rhorse: i've just never seen that discrepancy on any server i've ever seen, anywhere from 48gb, 64gb, 128gb, and 256gb [01:07] so it threw me off [01:08] but those are definitely not linux 4.4 kernels that i've dealt with [01:08] Rhorse: thanks [01:08] at that ram size at least [01:09] robotdevil1: working now?

[04:20] elky: i am trying to install lubuntu-desktop [04:20] pitiye: in a chroot? why? [04:21] elky: so i can directly boot into new 16.04 without going through installation process :D [04:21] then set up your chroot properly. if you don't know how to do that, use the normal installer [04:22] i installed ubuntu-desktop 16.04 already , wanted to try lubuntu [04:22] ... what [04:22] chroot was set according to the documentation from ubuntu offical site [04:22] liveusb environments exist for that reason [04:22] if you have ubuntu installed, why not just install lubuntu-desktop from inside ubuntu [04:22] seems to already be mounted... hmmm.. so why the wierd error on boot saying it cannot mount? [04:23] dax , well i thought i can repeat that process on chroot [04:23] pitiye: it's not worth it, just go the liveusb route. [04:23] pitiye: i don't understand your answer [04:23] ubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop are co-installable, just install both [04:23] solifugus: weird. do you have the actual error message? [04:24] dax - i successfully installed ubuntu-desktop with chroot , and now trying lubuntu-desktop with chroot , and it failed , pastebin shows the error of blueman getting not configured ! [04:24] I will have to reboot to get the error message again. [04:24] dax, I will reboot... really, I wanted to copy my /home to it and make it /home.. [04:25] elky: dax: i believe getting blueman fixed would help me to complete lubuntu-desktop ! [04:27] alrighty, i will leave you for anyone who feels like helping you do that then, since i'm not a huge fan of doing stuff the hard way for no reason [04:29] dax - actually liveusb way shuts my laptop down in halfway , that is the reason why i chose this route ! [04:30] 1) boot into Ubuntu, 2) sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, 3) enjoy lack of pain caused by chroot issues [04:30] i am not going to help you do this in a chroot for no reason whatsoever, sorry [04:31] dax: TY === Poke95|eating is now known as Poke95 [04:34] Hi guys I tried to install Ubuntu on my alienware 15 a while back but I couldn't get the wireless working, nor could I find a fix online for the Killer 1535.

[05:15] ubuntu612, The changelog located in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup should show something. [05:15] I do not really understand what I am looking at with apt-cache show cryptsetup [05:15] why does one system have one version and the other system the other? [05:15] how did that even happen? [05:16] I cannot tell the difference [05:16] well the first one seems to be from 15.10 and from some unofficial source "0vanir1" [05:17] ok, but I have 16.04 on it [05:17] is there some way I can force the do-release-upgrade to try all the packages again? [05:17] I tried to re run do-release-upgrade and it says its already upgraded [05:17] ubuntu612, check your sources.list on each.

[05:21] are you for real? [05:21] that is nonsense [05:21] what [05:21] I said 1.6.6 is the official version from 16.04 [05:21] 1.6.7 is some unofficial version for 15.10 [05:21] and I said one version of 16.04 I have has 1.6.6 and one has 1.6.7 [05:22] how can they both be up to date???

[11:30] Village: doubleclick on it [11:30] hateball, i use ubuntu server [11:30] Village, dpkg -i packagename.deb [11:31] Village, check 'man dpkg' for more details [11:31] phgsouto, thank you, i will try, and it's install to same directory where be .deb file or like apt-get install? [11:32] How do I keep track of a conversation in an IRC channel? Or how do I get newly asked questions displayed? How do I communicate with a bot and where to find more informations about it? [11:32] Village, it'll be like apt [11:32] ok, [11:32] meles: quick reading? ^^; [11:34] hi segf4ult, you can do a grep into the log file of the channel, probably saved in some directory of your IRC client [11:35] Has anyone actually succeded with connecting a PS4 controller over BT? [11:36] xtr33: I suppose so [11:36] xtr33: there's an Arch wiki entry listing remapping for the PS4 controller [11:38] phgsouto: thanks, but I wasn't the one asking ^^; [11:38] meles: You can do a grep into the log file of the channel, as phgsouto said :) [11:41] Hi there! I've recently updated my ubuntu to version 16.04 and now the Terminal do not accept accents (like ã á é) but in all other applications it works fine.. Somebody figures out how can I fix it? [11:42] hi tavinho [11:42] have you tried praying? [11:42] it couldnt hurt [11:42] i had an update issue [11:42] tavinho: did you generate the proper system locales? [11:42] and after a prayer the problem resolved itself [11:43] lol....yes kalamsa... but it did not solved my problem....

If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. === csyogi1 is now known as csyogi [11:44] ok tav [11:44] ubottu you think prayer is a joke? [11:44] :/ [11:44] Been trying for a week to get the PS4 controller to connect to mate 16.04 [11:44] Only thing I havent tried is pray [11:44] well why not try it xtr [11:44] what harm could it do? [11:45] I will when I find the time [11:45] it can take 10 seconds [11:45] maybe first thing tomorrow morning, I know... I don't have a spare 10 seconds right now. [11:45] segf4ult: I did....but the problem is only in terminal...for example, if I use X-term the things work great...but I really prefer to use gnome terminal... [11:46] xtr - if you dont pray to your creator - you reject him [11:46] and you will burn [11:47] tavinho: that's a strange one. was gnome-terminal perhaps built without unicode support? === memoryleak_ is now known as memoryleak [11:47] Yeah well I might burn a dvd later. [11:48] kalamsa: that's terrible [11:48] segf4ult - yes it is [11:48] segf4ult: Hm...don't think so...in other computers it's working fine...this issue is just in my machine... [11:48] god doesnt want you to be burnt [11:48] save yourself [11:48] accept his love [11:48] Yeah, so anyone actually connected a PS4 controller or bot? [11:49] xtr33: Are you trying bluetooth or USB? [11:49] phgsouto, segf4ult thanks for the answer i thought maybe there is a way for this with using the bot. No specially "tricks" the bot can do? [11:49] USB success, BT fail [11:50] kalamsa: please stop. No politics, religion, and others here. Please read the code of conduct [11:51] it sees the controller but the controller connects it only stays connected for a matter of seconds [11:51] Hiyas all [11:51] xtr33 - guess it doesnt have the time to connect [11:52] Added kalamsa!*@* to ignore list [11:52] kalamsa: this is not a generic chat channel. Please stay on topic === csyogi1 is now known as csyogi [11:54] Hmm, maybe I should test the BT with another device as it hasn't been tested. [11:55] xtr33: have you tried blueman?

[12:06] dennisd: http://www.ubuntu.com/management/ubuntu-advantage provides container licenses via the Ubuntu Advantage for Clouds. Ubuntu Advantage for Servers also seems to have containers at the "Standard" level, but the best way to get this information is to put out a query about it - https://landscape.canonical.com/contact-us [12:07] dennisd: it also is not cheap [12:07] lotuspsychje: thanks. I tried some of the answers, not all tho. Just wanted to check here if someone has a answer that worked for him/her. I'm a little confused about all the terminal-inputs and don't want to break my new pretty OS :) [12:08] teward: OK, thank you. And no, but it's just money. Atm I'll see what I can do for a small business with the standard on-premise licenses. [12:08] robinrabauke: you wont brake system, just disable bluetooth at startup [12:08] dennisd: 10 physical, 10 virtual, with the on-prem licenses. [12:08] that doesn't extend to OpenStack containers though AFAIK [12:09] teward: that conflicts with what I experience in my setyp: 10 physical, 0 virtual and 50 containers (however, someone else mentioned the same you said on stackoverflow) [12:09] *setup [12:10] dennisd: then they may have changed it - on-prem comes by default 10 physical 10 virtual unless they changed it === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [12:10] maybe they changed it with 16.03 [12:10] * teward may spin up an on-prem just to test [12:10] getting this problem : unable to update in 14.04 :http://paste.ubuntu.com/16125208/ [12:11] hi [12:11] i have problem with ubuntu gnome 16.04! [12:11] teward: now, the key question is: can I treat VM's as containers or not. But it's hard to find any technical information about it. Landscape is a commercial product, so I assume contacting them will just end out in them trying to sell something, avoiding what's technically possible :) [12:12] robinrabauke: type this in terminal: sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/*.desktop to see all startup items [12:12] dennisd: I don't think 'virtual' and 'container' are synonymous. That said, I've never played with container support on Landscape - maybe I should try and test :P [12:12] robinrabauke: perhaps you can disable BT gui from there [12:13] xtr33: did it work on other ubuntu versions? [12:13] Dear Friends, the mad plugin problem in gstreamer in ubuntu 16.04 , it worked fine in ubuntu 15.10 [12:13] any body have idea? [12:13] lotuspsychje, yes and no, I could connect it, like pair it with the 0000 code [12:14] other than that I don't think it worked with any games [12:14] xtr33: perhaps you might consider a new bug [12:14] Wondering if there is a tool that deciphers a ufw log and displays addresses and such of events that the firewall has blocked? [12:14] I got error as "decoder = gst.element_factory_make("mad", "mp3-decoder") gst.ElementNotFoundError: mad" [12:15] teward: that's odd... when I try to update the computer's license to a container license, Landscape spits out "Cannot associate the computer with a ***virtual machine*** license". [12:15] lotuspsychje, is there a way I can pinpoint what in particular is failing? maybe find a work around? [12:15] dennisd: there's your answer, but I don't think you can associate a physical machine as virtual :p [12:15] teward: perhaps I missed some detail in the registration process. Anyway, I'll fill in that contact form and in the mean time try to fiddle around. Thanks for your help [12:16] teward: it's a VMware virtual machine though [12:16] Hey everyone. I recently installed Compiz Config Settings Manager after my desktop seemingly disappeared. I have my desktop back again, but it seems to have done something strange to my navigation shortcuts. Instead of being able to use `ctrl-alt-left` to move to the workspace on the left, I have to use `ctrl-s` and then navigate to the workspace. [12:16] dennisd: that would be detected as virtual then, not sure what to tell you. note that unelss you pay for Landscape, I don't think your'e going to get much support if it's a standard 'free' on premises install [12:17] Then funny thing is that the correct shortcuts seem to be defined wjhen I go to system settings > keyboard > navigation. [12:17] (I'm on 15.10, btw.) [12:17] teward: yes I understand. that's probably also why the documentation is very limited. Canonical got it's commercial bussiness right :p [12:18] segf4ult: For the records, I've solved the issue in gnome-terminal...if anybody have the same issue, run im-config and the dead keys works again! thanks.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [12:22] Hey folks - I just upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04, and my PC stops at the startup logo. I can log in via ctrl-alt-1, and start X manually, but then I have no desktop manager. I can start a terminal by right-clicking on the desktop, and running 'unity' will get me unity. I am using proprietary nvidia drivers. [12:23] Has anyone had similar experiences? [12:23] davesidious: i'm having the same issue. but no solution unfortunately... :/ [12:23] davesidious: did you try a sudo service lightdm restart? [12:24] davesidious: i was thinking about going with the included drivers and see what happens. have you tried that? [12:24] However, when I hit the `super` key, I get a list of keyboard shortcuts, and the `ctrl-alt-left` etc commands are not mentioned. Do the desktop navigation shortcuts need to be turned on somehow? [12:26] lotuspsychje do I paste the whole thing? Chrome crashes when I do [12:26] !codecs | anes can this help?

Does this hint that lightdm is having some issues? [12:26] cgundersson - I'll try that next once this avenue closes. [12:26] davesidious: try to login to desktop now? [12:27] lotuspsychje - it works - I can log in, and get a desktop with unity running. [12:27] davesidious: if you have any success let me know how it works ok? :) [12:27] !yay | davesidious [12:27] davesidious: Glad you made it! :-) [12:27] The question is, how can I get this to be the normal behaviour? This seems to suggest that lightdm is borked somehow [12:27] and I don't fancy having to do this every time I turn my PC on :-P [12:28] davesidious: but did you try if you can reboot normally to login/desktop now? === daveomcd_ is now known as daveomcd [12:29] lotuspsychje - I tried, and the same thing happens as before. The logo stays on the screen and nothing else happens. I have to switch tty and then if I restart lightdm it works as expected. [12:29] davesidious, reboot, open console and run ps -A | grep lightdm , if you have no output lightdm is not starting.... try sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service and reboot [12:29] davesidious: ok that not normal indeed [12:30] davesidious: mine works every third or fourth reboot by itself. is it the same for you? [12:30] ioria I will try that now. cgundersson I will see :) [12:30] brb! [12:31] xtr33: or partial syslog [12:32] lotuspsychje, did you find a solution for the systemd-gui manager ? [12:32] OK, it appears my lightdm service is not starting at boot. [12:32] even though I've set it to start. [12:33] ioria: not yet, your .deb didnt installed because of recent gnome-software bug not letting external software install [12:33] lotuspsychje, sorry about that [12:33] ioria: but that looked promising [12:34] ioria: would be perfect to disable cups GUI on laptop etc,.. [12:34] 1 2 3 Frytki test [12:34] lotuspsychje, yep [12:35] davesidious: what graphics card chipset is that? [12:35] nvidia [12:35] Do you guys know about a neat way to connect an Android phone to gnome (sync of notifications and clipboard and such)? [12:35] (syslog reports "lightdm[1755]: /etc/modprobe.d is not a file" a bunch. [12:35] davesidious: wich chipset exactly? desktop? optimus? [12:35] desktop [12:35] sorry. [12:36] davesidious: and wich nvidia driver version is active? [12:36] nvidia-351. It's a GTX-750, btw. [12:36] 351.42 [12:37] davesidious: you could try a sudo apt purge nvidia* to go back to nouveau, see if you get in then? [12:37] lotuspsychje - I already tried that. [12:38] davesidious, not working with nouveau .... try nomodeset [12:38] already tried. [12:38] davesidious: perhaps the upgrade borked lightdm indeed.. [12:38] davesidious, apt-cache policy lightdm [12:38] That's what it sounds like, to my amateur ears anyway. [12:38] !info lightdm [12:38] lightdm (source: lightdm): Display Manager.

[12:40] ioria - I just ran that. I'll reboot now and see if that had any effect. [12:41] de-facto: oh there's no gnome version of it, only through the web browser [12:41] akik i was hoping for something that connects me to the gnome notifications and clipboard, airdroid would work but is a bit overkill. back in the days there was DeskCon but that does not work anymore [12:42] de-facto: perhaps the #ubuntu-gnome guys know something? (if your not already there) === Mike_______ is now known as Mike__ [12:42] That didn't work, ioria. [12:42] davesidious, do you still have a xorg.conf in /etc/X11 ? [12:42] davesidious: can you press F1 at boot, to see text booting where errors stuck? [12:43] I have xorg.conf~ but no xorg.conf [12:43] lotuspsychje - I will try that next time I reboot, thanks. Good idea. [12:44] davesidious, remove it , but i think it's a temp file [12:44] I'm pretty sure that's a temp file, but I'll remove it anyway. [12:44] ok, I'll try rebooting with text output.

The containers are for OpenStack usage, not for all kinds of VM [12:48] dennisd: makes sense [12:49] davesidious: any joy? [12:49] I can't seem to get textual output when booting, but looking at my lightdm's server status, I get similar errors to this: lightdm[879]: update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for x86_64-linux-gnu_gfxcore_conf [12:49] after "/etc/modprobe.d is not a file" [12:49] davesidious: for test boot try to edit grub and change "quiet splash" to "" [12:50] text [12:51] ok, I've done that. I'm pretty sure it will just tell me that lightdm is having the errors noted above, but I'll see next time I reboot. [12:51] davesidious: system up to date to latest also? [12:51] lotuspsychje - yup. everything up to date. [12:52] davesidious: you could also try the recoverymode/fix broken packages or failsafeX [12:52] davesidious: you never know it might do some magic [12:52] lotuspsychje - I'll take a look at those, too. Thanks! [12:53] davesidious: thats inside grub ubuntu(recoverymode) [12:53] hi there, i've got a dns resolve issue. ubuntu will resolve just the hostname, but not the fqdn. the local domain has been correctly added to "dns-search" parameter in /etc&network/interfaces. waht am i missing? [12:53] thanks, lotuspsychje. I'm installing nvidia-364 now to see if that makes any difference. Some people are reporting it does. [12:54] davesidious: i doubt it, as nouveau mostly fixes no desktop issues [12:54] davesidious: but no harm to try :p [12:54] lotuspsychje - yeah, but who knows what might happen, and I'm all out of ideas :) [12:54] ok, rebooting...

[13:00] how would you recommend I do it? [13:00] davesidious: sudo apt purge nvidia* [13:00] I did precisely that, yeah. [13:00] hmm ok [13:01] davesidious: really sounds like an nvidia leftover blocking lightdm somehow [13:01] davesidious, how did you install nvidia ? with a ppa ? [13:02] ioria - yes. [13:02] Here is the output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 vga: http://pastebin.com/raw/9yVtSa3m [13:03] davesidious: and you had the ppa active in wily before upgrade right? [13:03] lotuspsychje - I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. [13:04] Here's the interface config http://dpaste.com/0Z4SWFC [13:04] davesidious: i would try purge all ppa's, and purge all nvidia drivers to try to go back to nouveau officially [13:05] davesidious: its no normal behaviour nouveau cant get booted [13:05] davesidious: after you get inside again, you can check additional drivers again what ubuntu proposes for your drivers [13:06] lotuspsychje - thanks. I've removed my ppas, purged all nvidia drivers, and will now reboot. [13:07] can anyone confirm if Ubuntu 16.04 supports MST?

[13:23] Village: second command [13:23] ok, let me try, thank you [13:24] E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-restricted-extras E: Unable to locate package perhaps [13:24] Hi [13:24] hi, viju [13:24] Village: are you sure that deb is for Ubuntu? we don't have a package called python2.7-apsw in our repos. [13:25] hey this 16.04 seems to be working pretty good [13:25] Before I install 16.04 , wanted to know, if it's still required to have SWAP partition = 2x RAM size? [13:25] 1.2 Установка пакет TorrentStream Full на Ubuntu из deb-пакета - скачать пакет по ссылке http://torrentstream.org/downloads/linux/test/torrentstream_1.0.6-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb [13:25] It's writed that on ub untu [13:25] davesidious: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1452610 [13:25] Launchpad bug 1452610 in ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) "/etc/modprobe.d is not a file" [Undecided,Triaged] [13:25] Pici, you see? [13:26] !swap | viju [13:26] viju: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [13:26] lotuspsychje - interesting, but I'm not sure it's too related... [13:26] Village: can you try intalling the packages that the error lists? use python-apsw and python-m2crypto in place of the names that it lists though. [13:27] Pici, can you look here or that packages axisted? [13:27] existed* [13:27] davesidious: well we tried almost everything in the book :p [13:27] Do I still need to have double the amount of RAM? Because I heard in 12.04, it wasn't necessary. [13:28] Village: what? [13:28] lotuspsychje - for which I am incredibly grateful! [13:28] Pici, what command here to look at package info? [13:28] viju: iirc only if you wish to hibernate, so it's a lifestyle choice for you to make. There may also be other reasons as listed in that link. [13:28] Village: apt-cache show packagename [13:29] davesidious: try a 16.04 liveusb, see if you can reach desktop there? [13:29] anyone using DisplayPorts and do they just work? [13:29] sure [13:29] !apt-cache python-apsw [13:29] [2016:04:29][16:29:12] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-cache python-apsw [13:29] Oh well I had a hard time hibernating ubuntu last time. Well, I'll see it later on. [13:29] davesidious: the bug exists on wily, hence why i presume a wily leftover [13:29] !apt-cache python-m2crypto [13:29] Village: not here. [13:30] zore about crypto too [13:30] zero* [13:30] viju: SchrodingersScat hibernate only requires RAM+a_little_bit_extra <- infact, sometimes hibernate can work with less swap then ram, but that can be iffy... [13:30] I've played a bit with Ubuntu + KVM + GPU passthrough in the past hours, and I'm now stuck: I can't access my BIOS, so it always boots up Ubuntu and I cant do anything about it. How do I get back to BIOS? [13:30] Village: just running something like: sudo apt-get install python-apsw python-m2crypto python-appindicator libaa1 liba52-0.7.4 libasound2 libass4 libavc1394-0 libavcodec53 should fix it... [13:31] Pici, i will try on shell, but maybe are some python package where be all included? [13:31] Pici, good command thanks [13:32] SchrodingersScat, what happens when you upgrade the RAM? Let's say I had 8GB swap and 4gb memory. Later I decide to upgrade the RAM to 16GB since I have not changed the partition size, what would be the effect of less swap size? [13:32] root@vps:~# sudo apt-get install python-apsw python-m2crypto python-appindicator libaa1 liba52-0.7.4 libasound2 libass4 libavc1394-0 libavcodec53 *** Reading package lists...

[13:34] viju: that's actually where i am right now, i installed with 4GB RAM and it created a 4GB swap, then i upgraded to 8GB RAM - but still have the 4GB swap... hibernate has worked so far! <- SchrodingersScat [13:34] BluesKaj: this doesn't work, the POST screen isn't shown [13:34] I see your point. [13:35] this the error I get during the ubuntu update: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16126068/ .. some signed file is not valid it is saying .. [13:35] i tried that ubuntu update hehe [13:36] zykotick9, is it possible to put some chunks out of / into /swap to expand it later on? [13:36] chaosfisch, as soon as your pc boots use one of the keys I mentioned and hold it down til the BIOS appears [13:36] BluesKaj: this does not work. I think it got something to do with EFI. [13:36] how do I find the directory for a certain program? [13:36] viju: possible, but i wouldn't personally recommend it... but ymmv. (i don't resize partitions myself, i reinstall) [13:36] lerner which [program] [13:37] Hello, How can i go to other directory through terminal.

I've googled a bit trying to figure out how to get it back working and found various instructions like this one https://www.vultr.com/docs/setting-an-ssh-motd-on-ubuntu-14-04 - however, after re-installing and reconfiguring landscape-common I don't seem to get it to show at login again. any advice on this?

(2 cores + HT for 4 threads total) [14:04] kisb: yes [14:05] done [14:05] glad it worked :P [14:05] Malgorath, additional ram is *always* worth it IMO. YMMV. [14:05] always, more ram always worth it, if affordable [14:05] Hi, when I updated to Xenial screen flickers untill I select tty1 then x starts. I'm trying to startx using systemd graphical.target [14:06] netsrot: ask ubottu about nomodeset [14:06] Malgorath, I have 8Gig RAM on my i3cpu laptop.It's quite fast , by all means get the extra RAM , it's good to have more then just enough [14:06] !nomodeset [14:06] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [14:06] It only cost $30 to double the ram [14:07] worth it [14:07] yup [14:07] BluesKaj: so, I've got access now, I was forced to flash my bios. Ubuntu really messed sth up there. [14:07] just be sure the mobo & bios support the amount [14:07] pedrito: isn't it a permission thing since it works when I select tty1? [14:07] kisb: yes . next step.

Before Ubuntu install bios was working, after it was no longer accessible!

[14:11] my problem is not over [14:11] unlikely you need to cd as root [14:12] chaosfisch, what happened is ubuntu installed grub to autoload ubuntu with no grub menu, that's all [14:12] BluesKaj: and that's the reason the POST screen isn't available too? === reset is now known as Guest25629 [14:12] hello [14:13] apurva, i have a feeling you are doing something completely different [14:13] apurva@apps:/run/user/1000$ chown apurva:apurva gvfs [14:13] chown: changing ownership of ‘gvfs’: Function not implemented [14:14] apurva not in /run/user/1000/ ... i was referrring to ~/.gvfs [14:14] like i said... completely different [14:14] apurva but it's not even needed [14:14] kisb: so is it possible what i am trying to do [14:14] chaosfisch, no that's an uefi thing you told me you didn't know which key , uefi does some strange things thanks to its unknown settings and flashing may have fixed the bugs as well [14:15] MonkeyDust: I am totally confused at this point [14:15] BluesKaj: well, I said I cant access it and the keys are not working. never said I dont know which key.

[14:49] zzzz ##networking [14:49] viju: it works here. so you might want to look out for your specific hardware [14:50] k1l, What do you mean? It's an HP 2000, and all the previous Linices worked fine. [14:50] Linux* [14:50] viju: touchpads do work in general on 16.04. so it might be a specific driver/hardware issue in your case [14:51] Did you have to anything to set it up? [14:51] do* [14:51] no [14:53] == [14:53] k1l, do you know where I can file the bug? [14:54] !bug | viju [14:54] viju: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[15:00] Hello, After the upgrade to 16.04, I lost most of my options for resolution in the display settings for my 4k monitor [15:00] I used to have a variety of 16:9 options, but now have only 1080p and 2160p [15:00] viju, I guess you're not alone on that: http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/touchpad I, for one, have no problems with the touchpad on my dell laptop [15:06] alexmh, no drivers, no resolution options. [15:07] Hello, I had just bought a new laptop and I am trying to run the ubuntu live cd (try out mode). However, it hangs at the logo screen with 1 dot remaining [15:07] a similar issue occurs in Linux Mint [15:07] cfhowlett, I just got my 860m drivers working properly [15:08] Ubuntu 16.04, specifically. Anyway, could I pleaseeee have help with this issue? I just spent a lot of money on this new laptop, and I am absolutely heartbroken [15:08] cfhowlett, nvidia 361.42 [15:09] if I am hanging at the load screen, how do I check the error, first of all? [15:10] Is it because the driver may not support those resolutions? I have a bunch od 16:10 and 4:3 resolutions in between 1080p and 2160p, but I really got comfortable at 1440p [15:12] q [15:14] this is the laptop I am using http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154148 [15:14] PLEASE Help me [15:15] is my new laptop just incompatible with linux or do i need to do something to the bios?! [15:15] I see two packages for automake available, automake and automake1.11 which should I install? [15:17] glados_, try pressing escape when you boot and ubuntu first starts, at least that's what I've found with initscripts [15:17] let me try that [15:17] also try switching TTY's with ctrl+alt+f2 when you get on the screen [15:17] that 960m might be giving you some issues [15:18] I had a ton with my 860m up until just recently [15:18] anyone know why i why the grub installation would fail on a ubuntu server 14.04 RAID 10 install? [15:18] this is a non eufi server [15:18] wondering if the disk partitions may be GPT and thats whats throwing it off [15:19] What's amazon doing on the side bar? [15:19] the installer is creating a 1mb partition on each RAID disk which i'm assuming is bios_grub flagged [15:19] glados_, may want to try pressing the Tab key when the try/install menu comes up. highligh Default and press Tab key remove Splash and Quiet from the displayed line and then press Enter to continue. you maybe able to see where the hangup is from the output displayed [15:19] how would i find out where the .deb files are i've just installed via apt? i'm using vivid but i'm guessing the path is identical in all versions of ubuntu [15:20] ok i pressed esc, and here is the error [15:20] i'm provisioning with vagrant and would really want to set up a local place for the debs so the machines would not need to always start with downloading a brickton of identical debs [15:21] temmi_hoo: the .deb you downloaded are in /var/cache/apt/archives/ (if you want what files where installed where, "dpkg -L foo") [15:21] NMI Watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [plymouthd:263] [15:21] temmi_hoo, /var/cache/apt/archives [15:21] that is my error when trying to boot ubuntu [15:21] temmi_hoo: you _might_ want to check out apt-cacher-ng [15:22] glados_, like squinty said, remove 'quite splash' from the kernel boot line [15:22] let me try that [15:22] What does the error even mean? I googled but get varying answers [15:23] also it's an SSD with windows 10 if that makes a difference [15:23] ok so [15:24] when i boot up I am in the GRUB MENU with try ubuntu without installing, install ubuntu, and check disc for defects [15:24] ioria and squinty, pressing TAB here does nothing [15:24] glados_, it should allow you to edit the entries [15:24] glados_, f6 , esc ? [15:24] #openshells [15:24] let me tryy in a bit. I'm going to do check disc for defectsd [15:24] join #openshells [15:25] csselo, /j #openshell [15:26] It's working now. [15:26] The settings. [15:26] glados_, might be an idea to check the md5 for the iso you are currently on [15:26] Who scrolls with two fingers, eh? [15:26] What's an md5, squinty? [15:26] Removed that to get it right. [15:27] !md5 | glados_ [15:27] glados_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:27] i am booting from the 16.04 iso? the newest one available from "Download" on the site, burned just an hour or two ago [15:27] zykotick9: okay cool. now, when provisioning new hosts, would i succeed with just plop the debs on a fresh machine in /var/cache/apt/archives and then start saying apt install -y packagename ? [15:27] i got my iso from official site [15:27] glados_, md5sum ubuntu.iso and compare with these http://releases.ubuntu.com/xenial/MD5SUMS [15:27] er [15:27] !automake [15:28] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [15:28] this is the iso I used [15:28] is that not the right one? [15:28] glados_, check the md5 sum [15:28] I don't think i need to verify the iso from the ofifical site. That's just an extra step I have to do to figure out this issue, which so far has been common with both Linux Mint 17.3 and Ubuntu 16.04. Those discs work on my other computer, but not this one [15:29] glados_, did you already edit the grub entries to remove quiet and splash? [15:29] temmi_hoo: yup - it's what a did, pre-apt-cacher [15:29] Let me try [15:29] hmmm the nautilus file manager window won't stay open [15:29] glados_, sometimes errors are introduced when downloading iso's. personally I use the torrent rather than http as it includes error checking [15:30] it's not an issue specific to tjis iso [15:30] zykotick9: my host is not running ubuntu so i'll have to see about that apt-cacher-ng thing [15:30] it's an issue that is also happening in past dvds that have WORKED On other computers. [15:30] I am going to try the grub stuff now [15:30] okay [15:30] So on grub screen, TAB doesn't work. Now I gotta try esc, f6? [15:31] glados_: 'e' to edit a menu entry. [15:31] glados_, ok, boot, highlight 'try ubuntu', press f6, or 'e' or look for any advanced option ... [15:32] ok i pressed e [15:32] brought me to a screen that looks like a programming script [15:32] what now? [15:33] glados_, find the entry for ubuntu, remove 'quiet splash' from that line [15:33] It says: "setparams 'try ubuntu without installing', set gfxpayload=keep, linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/pressed/ubuntu.seed boot=casper quiet spash --- initrd /casper/initrd.lz [15:33] glados_, you got it [15:34] so I just remove "quiet spash ---" next to boot=casper? [15:34] glados_, highligh Default and press Tab key remove Splash and Quiet from the displayed line and then press Enter to continue. [15:34] yes [15:34] I only remove those 2 words and nothing else? [15:34] yes [15:34] ok [15:34] i press enter now?

I tryed googling [15:37] glados_, definitely a gpu issue [15:38] is my gpu broken!? [15:38] reminder here's the specs: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154148 [15:38] It looks like either ubuntu is unable to talk to the 960m properly, or it's broken [15:38] glados_, does it work under windows? [15:38] Do you mean to ask if Windows 10 works? [15:38] why would nautilus file manager stop working? [15:38] glados_, does the gpu work under windows 10? [15:39] what do you mean [15:39] how do I check? [15:39] windows 10 works... [15:39] glados_, do you have any games or anything? [15:39] glados_, something that would tax the gpu, also, brb [15:40] glados_, nvidia gtx 960m ? [15:40] i do not have anything installed yet. This is a new laptop. How would i try it? [15:41] ioria, check the specs [15:41] zykotick9: do you think i would be more succesful with dpkg --get-selections > file and then on the provisioned fresh host after plopping /var/cache/apt/archives full doing a dpkg --set-selections ? [15:42] glados_, open the nvidia gui on windows 10 [15:42] or at least faster if equally succesful [15:42] GPU/VPU [15:42] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M [15:42] gooood morning all! [15:42] opening nvidia control panel [15:42] glados_, yes, and try downloading a free game or something and trying to put it to the test, or run a webgl benchmark from your browser or something [15:43] :S [15:43] what about the nvidia control panel, alexmh [15:43] Make sure it recognizes your card, and then run a webgl benchmark or some benchmark or something [15:44] you just need to make sure the discreet gpu is being taxed instead of the intel integrated card [15:44] glados_, that eliminates the GPU being totally broken as the problem (I assume); which is good, means you don't have a DOA :) [15:45] glados_, something like this http://crypt-webgl.unigine.com/game.html [15:45] hm [15:46] i'll try guild wars 1 [15:46] glados_, try to add nomodeset idle=nomwait and (as before) remove quite splash [15:46] downloading [15:46] ? [15:46] does anyone know what the error itself means? [15:47] hi_ [15:47] ?\ [15:47] any way to see the logs of why GRUB wont install during Installation wizard? [15:48] you keep giving me solutions, but I just want to make sure we know what the error means? [15:48] glados_, your card is too hot :þ === frequency_master is now known as Jimmyee [15:48] so my graphics card is frying from trying to boot linux? [15:49] I need some help on this array_walk snippet: http://pastebin.com/YYZfGNb4 I feel dumb but I don't understand what happens. When I set a breakpoint inside the array walk, first iteration, $parameters['action'] is empty oO Is it the debugger having hard time because the variable is passed by reference? [15:49] glados_, nope [15:50] so what does it mean? My GPU is incompatible? [15:50] DevAntoine what coding language is that? [15:50] glados_, it looks like it can't talk to one of the onboard processors on the GPU === alchemistswl2 is now known as alchemistswl [15:50] oh god [15:50] wrong chan, sorry [15:50] And you want me to replace quite splash with "nomodeset idle=nomwait"? [15:50] MonkeyDust: php [15:50] glados_, try that [15:51] what does it do [15:51] why [15:51] php is like frying eggs [15:51] How is it going to get rid of this "NMI Watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 22s! [plymouthd:263]" error [15:52] hi guys! can I change Evolution of Gnome language interface? [15:52] glados_, Adding the nomodeset parameter instructs the kernel to not load video drivers and use BIOS modes instead until X is loaded. [15:53] what is gnome language interface [15:53] i will try that in a bit. Seein if Guild Wars 1 runs, to see if my gfx card works in the first place. The download is at 0% [15:53] glados_: "NMI == Non Maskable Interrupt" (cannot be ignored). It is being generated because the kernel has detected that the process on CPU#6 has got itself stuck [15:54] it's 'evolution of gnome' language interface [15:54] T3-, I'm not sure what that means. It got stuck because of the gpu? [15:54] glados_: the process is plymouthd (Plymouth boot-time splash-screen daemon) [15:54] ok making a bit more sense [15:54] so plymouthd, the booting process, is getting stuck because..? [15:54] Hey all - I've shared my connection on my ubuntu - through ethernet [15:54] wyre so, in gnome, you want to change the language of the Evolution mail client? [15:54] how can I see connected devices ? [15:55] glados_: no, it got stuck due to the plymouthd process being stuck... plymouthd displays the splash-screen, therefore if there is something wrong with the display drivers or GPU that could in theory cause plymouthd to get confused and stuck [15:55] MonkeyDust, yes [15:55] I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 [15:55] with gnome 3.18 [15:55] TJ- removing quite splash does not override plymouth ? [15:55] all interface is in my language except Evolution [15:55] which is in english [15:56] ok [15:56] ioria: glados_ removing "splash" tells plymouth not show the splash screen, but unfortately plymouth does much more - it handles keyboard input on behalf of initrd processes such as when you need to type an encryption pass-phrase to unlock a file-system [15:56] TJ- i see , thanx [15:57] ioria: glados_ "quiet" is a kernel parameter which tells it to output minimal log messages. I prefer having "debug" in its place to see *everything* it can report :) [15:57] information is power especially in the face of bugs :) [15:58] :þ [15:59] TJ- there's one terrific on lubuntu ... light-locker disables the entire system [15:59] sudo ls -alx /* '*python*'| more < why doesn't thks work?

[15:59] yep, a sec [16:01] tkeller that's a wrong command [16:01] and the command i was told to run removes splash and insert "nomodeset idle=nomwait"? [16:01] I want to match for any filename conytaining the string "python" in it [16:01] ioria: oh! maybe I *have* experienced it, whilst I was doing some suspend/resume tests earlier.

[16:16] glados_: that sounds typical of running from DVD, although it is also possible there read-data errors causing problems [16:16] glados_, starts the gui from console [16:16] kambet i dont know, but you may be interessted in something like https://wiki.tox.chat/binaries or https://ring.cx/en/download/gnu-linux as open source alternative [16:16] my system just informed me there was a software update available, so I OKed running the update. It resulted in thw following error message: This is not an official Ubuntu package. Please remove any third party package and try again. [16:16] glados_: if you were back at the text shell you could check the log-files for indications of errors [16:16] lightdm handles login secreen [16:17] wtf? [16:17] i did ctrl+alt+f1 and no error messages [16:17] how do i check for the error, tj-? [16:17] tkeller_, disable any ppa entries in Software and Updates [16:18] lol [16:18] glados_: if you've logged in and got the shell command-line, then "grep -i error /var/log/kern.log" [16:18] squinty, Where would you keep your other softwares? Let's say eclipse. [16:18] squinty: so far as I know, there are no ppa entries. 've never used one\ [16:19] so you guys play teachers and students here [16:19] nice [16:19] I was taught to put everything in /opt but I always used home folder for nearly everything. [16:19] kambet but be warned those projects are still in a very early stage of development, yet in my experience already quite awesome and usable though [16:19] ok ioria, i tried that command didn't work [16:19] how would i get the shell command line tj-? [16:20] glados; o,prm a term window [16:20] i cant [16:20] open [16:20] no interface [16:20] restarting comp and redoing from scratch. Maybe I mistyped [16:20] yhrn how are you interacting withthe system? [16:20] you supposed to use /opt inorder to share software with guest users [16:20] tkeller, no dropbox or chrome install? [16:20] glados_: did you login as 'ubuntu' a few minutes ago? [16:21] squninty: none [16:21] can someone help me with a grub issue on ubuntu server 14.04? i keep getting "grub-install:error:disk 'md0' not found [16:21] yes TJ- but i restarted [16:21] glados_: the shell command prompt is usually a flashing cursor after a $ symbol, possibly prefixed with the username@hostname of the system, which on live ISOs is usually ubuntu@ubuntu [16:22] in 16.04 gdm3 im trying to disable the user list using `gsettings set org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list true` but this setting is not being honoured. is there anither way to set this setting now? [16:22] it had no errors, if you mean the stuff that appears when i ctrl+alt+f1. anywa attempting to reboot [16:22] tkeller, hmmm... strange then. might want to double check though Software and Updates -> Other Software [16:22] OK, thanks squinty [16:22] glados_: in which case you'd need to go through the same steps again. once the desktop is (trying to) load, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get to a text console, login as 'ubuntu', then at the command-line "grep -i error /var/log/kern.log" [16:23] hi [16:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16128898/ [16:23] g [16:24] squinty: don't see anytthing in there referring to ppas [16:25] is there a trustworthy "price watch" plugin for web browsers? the ones i have tried seem to be prone to malware (if one can believe the reviews on the web) [16:26] ls -ak \8 [16:26] kiwiirc_, you most likely haven't ben using apt-get dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade have you? [16:26] *been [16:27] ls -al \*python* / | more [16:27] eelstrebor: camel camel camel? [16:28] eh, I guess that just does amazon [16:28] WizardGed: i'd expect "apt upgrade" by itself will upgrade kiwiirc_ other packages... [16:29] should I change from UEFI boot mode to Legacy? [16:30] not necessarilly if there is some package that has dependencies on an older package exclusively and the older package cannot be installed along with the new version an updated secondary package requiring this can cause such problems [16:31] zykotick9, ^ [16:31] never heard of camel [16:31] squinty? [16:31] WizardGed: perhaps... /me has never heard of packages doing down in version number... [16:31] s/doing/going/ [16:33] tgm4883, the camelizer? if so, it says it only supports amazon retailer [16:33] I get a black login screen after installing Nvidia driver. Could someone please tell me how to fix it? [16:33] eelstrebor: I literally just said that [16:33] zykotick9, It can be the reverse as well, It's also a sign someone is using nasty PPA's or doing dodgy things like pulling debs from other distro's/releases [16:33] I would like to suggest that some of you guys program for open source projects because alot of stuff missing [16:33] glados_, I use uefi and my graphics card, I had problems with secure boot though [16:33] legacy may help though [16:33] eelstrebor: looks like I use invisible hand for price checking [16:34] WizardGed: ahhh. if ppas or other 3rd party repos are involved.. all bets are off ;) [16:34] i am trying legacy with mint 17.3 now. At least it showed me the correct screen instead of grub this time (where it asks if i want to run in compatibility and stuff) [16:34] zykotick9, or the very unlikely chance a maintainer and package reviewer had a simultaneous bad day [16:34] ;) [16:34] kisb: that's not a support question [16:35] no it's not [16:35] tkeller, hmmm...been googling your error message without finding anything definite other than this problem has been reported as bugs on launchpad etc. might want to try poking around google to see if anything jumps out [16:35] TJ-, you around man? I know this is an easy one for you. been banging my head on getting grub installed on 14.04 server using software raid for 2 days [16:35] squinty: thanks [16:36] kisb, check the first part of the topic "Official Ubuntu Support Channel " [16:36] have a feeling it has to do with GPT disks on MBR machine [16:36] i went ahead and created bios_grub parition on each disk in the array but still no success [16:37] so, how do I search my entire system for any files that contain the string "python" within their filename? [16:37] yeah i'm getting this 'max number of clients reached problem', had it before too :/ http://paste.ubuntu.com/16129265/ [16:37] curlyears: locate python [16:37] * curlyears <- tkeller [16:37] i put /boot as a raid1 and grub says that raid volume is not found if i try to install grub there [16:37] curlyears: 'sudo find / | grep -i python' [16:38] Jordan_U: would 'locate python' work, or would that just find files named "python" [16:38] trevor_s: you might want to try #ubuntu-server instead/as-well? [16:38] curlyears, sudo updatedb -> after it finishing updating then type locate python [16:38] testy [16:38] OMFG Linux mint... I think... IT'S WORKING!? Is this a fluke or did switching to legacy resolve it? I know Ubuntu didn't work but Linux Mint!? Is it a miracle!? I'm on the desktop!!! Holy pickles!!! [16:38] glados_, ince! [16:38] well.. I'm a mint user anyway, not Ubuntu [16:38] I'll test it out some more to see if it's a fluke or not. For now, thank you for the help! [16:39] glados_, we don't like yer kind around here boi! [16:39] zykotick9, thanks [16:40] tgm4883: Try it. You'll see that locate by default searches for any filename containing the substring passed. [16:40] trevor_s: what RAID level? generally, if using mdadm md devices, you have to grub-install /dev/sdX not grub-install /dev/mdX - this because GRUB's raidx drivers are read-only and therefore cannot write the GRUB env (for savedefault and such) to the GRUB root file-system [16:40] Jordan_U: cool. Can't right now at work, although I guess I could do it on our CentOS boxes [16:40] TJ-, RAID10 for / and /swap and RAID1 for /boot [16:41] TJ-: That is not the reason. The reason is that the device passed to grub-install specifies where grub's boot sector should go, and putting grub's boot sector on an abstract volume that the BIOS doesn't understand makes no sense. [16:42] TJ-, grub-install /dev/sdA fails..... the installer tries to install to /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc [16:42] is there any way to save a collection of print settings? repeatedly retrying a challenging print job i have to manually re-set many of them... though some persist [16:42] TJ-, but after /dev/sda fails..... it doesn't attempt anything else [16:42] Hello to everybody :) [16:43] TJ-, I have a live cd booted if there's any info you'd like me to grab [16:43] I get a blank/black login screen after installing Nvidia driver. Could someone please tell me how to fix it? [16:43] I would like to ask a question, not strictly tied to ubuntu. I have on my desk a two machine setup. I have a desktop computer running windows 8, and a laptop with an external monitor connected to it, as a dual monitor setup. I am thinking, is it possible to control the ubuntu machine with the windows machine's mouse and desktop, or the other way. Does anyone have any experience with something like this? [16:44] Jordan_U: i thought the drivers were read-only as well? I recall last time I played with it in that scanrio getting a 'read-only' device warning of some kind, but putting the boot code on a RAID-1 device which aligns with the underlying device does work fine if its forced (via installing directly to the underlying devices) [16:44] anyone else made there ubuntu look like mac? [16:44] tothbalint_, vnc ? [16:44] tothbalint_: http://synergy-project.org/ [16:44] UserUS: get a mac wallpaper, set unity to radiance theme, done :p [16:45] lotuspsychje: I used macbuntu :p [16:45] I have seen synergy, but frankly I would like some free solution. [16:45] UserUS: check deviantart themes, alot of ubuntu machines on mac style [16:45] trevor_s: you may need to be passing additional grub-install options to help grub figure it out [16:45] ioria, I dont have any experience with that, how does that work? [16:45] tothbalint_: I know of no free solution (although I swear synergy use to be free) [16:45] TJ-: Grub's save_env, the only time grub (as bootloader) writes to disk doesn't support RAID, but that is an entirely separate issue. [16:46] Jordan_U: but the one that I hit when doing it :) [16:46] tothbalint_, it's the remote desktop https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers [16:46] hmmm...by searching all thge python files, I have determined that the call to wxg-Python* PPrently hase something to do with consfiuring a serial port for ues. [16:46] TJ-, options as in /dev/X options? [16:46] trevor_s: no, as in the options that grub-install can take. See "man grub-install" [16:47] trevor_s: it can be affected by BIOS vs UEFI booting for example [16:47] ioria: I think we read what he wants differently [16:47] tgm4883, oh, sorry then [16:47] TJ-: I wouldn't call that "forcing" anything, but rather "asking grub-install to do something that actually makes sense". [16:47] ioria, with vnc, when I connect to control the other machine, it's monitor contents would appear on that machine too, right? so essentially 2 computers displaying the same thing? or it can be set up like synergy? [16:48] trevor_s: Do you have the output from the failed grub-install? [16:48] tothbalint_, i connect from my win machine with a client and manage the ubuntu desk, if it's that what you want [16:49] tothbalint_, vnc can attach to the same screen that a user has, or seperate screens that arent shared [16:50] its controlled thru ports [16:50] ioria, yes, I want that, but the two machines, and the two displays are between each other. I am curious, how does my screen look like while I am controlling the other machine [16:50] they cant see your screen [16:50] i'm almost certain he wants what essentially is a 3 monitor setup === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 [16:51] tgm4883, yes, exactly, 3 monitor setup with 2 machines [16:51] Hello. What's the key (or key combination) to switch between keyboard layouts? I'm using Ubuntu MATE 16.04. [16:51] so you move your mouse to the right of screen 1 (on windows) and it starts moving the mouse on the Linux box [16:51] personally, I'd just pay the $10 [16:52] tothbalint_: there was something like "synergy" [16:52] Jordan_U, yes [16:52] tothbalint_: but i dont know if that still works [16:52] trevor_s: Please pastebin it. [16:52] tgm4883, I guess yes, or at least what I would like to achieve is not having to use 2 pairs of keyboards and mouses [16:53] jordan, sorry man all i have is a picture. the system isn't online [16:53] let me upload that [16:53] its only a few lines [16:53] tgm4883, I dont care if that move mouse from one display to the other thing does not work [16:53] tothbalint_: VNC is to linux as RDP is to Windows [16:54] tothbalint_: have yoou considered a hardware KVM switch? [16:54] curlyears: if he's not going to buy synergy, I doubt he's going to spend more on a KVM switch [16:55] Jordan_U, http://i.imgur.com/o0ZrwyI.jpg [16:55] curlyears, what is a KVM switch? [16:55] egn4883; ah, i didn't catch that part of the conversation. Good point. Hw much does synergy cost, anyway? [16:55] tothbalint_: it's a physical box that you hook up to both computers and one keyboard/mouse/monitor [16:56] Are Openjdk-6 and Openjdk-7 still supported in Ubuntu 12.04, or are they EOL? [16:56] a kvm switch doesnt work in his laptop+external monitor + pc setup [16:56] curlyears: $10 it seems [16:56] I'm not sure if someone is actively backporting security fixes to them [16:56] curlyears: $10/lifetime for basic, $29/lifetime if you want SSL support [16:57] apes: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6_6b38-1.13.10-0ubuntu0.12.04.1/changelog [16:57] k1l: Thanks, that's what I was looking for [16:57] k1l: Do you know if there is an EOL date for them? [16:58] apes: the packages are in main. so they should have the full 5 years [16:59] tothbalint_; KeyboardVideoMouse (KVMs) switches permiy multiple systems to connect to one ka\eyboard, \video monitor bs nouse, without hAVE TO REPLUG EVERTHING. Just "flip the switch" they're availabke with from 2 to 128 ports. Two port switches are relatively inexpensive. Larger switches rapidly get VERY pricey [17:00] curlyears, thank you :) what is your oppinion, would it work with a laptop too? [17:00] curlyears: that doesnt work. you cant use a kvm switch for a laptop screen. [17:01] 2 through about 4 port switches are usually electromechanical, whereas larger system are all active electrobics [17:01] k1l, I do not want to switch displays, only mouse and keyboard [17:01] tothbalint_: no. you have the most difficult setup there. only thing is synergy. the other would be a weird vnc/rdp setup. but that would mean you would have to do that with a lot of effort. [17:01] oh, it's a laptop 0-; [17:02] since he's not switching displays that would work [17:02] trevor_s: That particular error is due to an incorrect invocation of grub-install. [17:02] ah ok. yeah. or use BT things. or usb ones. [17:02] i think there could be simple usb switches [17:02] Jordan_U, ok that was the installer doing that not me [17:03] You can get a 2 port KVM switch for $9.58 from newegg [17:03] trevor_s: Are you currently booted from a LiveCD/USB on the machine in question? [17:03] this probably sounds like a stupid question, but is there a way to highlight word occurrences from grep results without actually reducing your output (ie: using grep) ? [17:03] Jordan_U, yes sir [17:03] usb SWITCHES? For sharing a USB device wiyth multiple systensm right? [17:04] ash_workz: whats your end goal? [17:04] trevor_s: Please mount the root filesystem to /mnt/. [17:04] ahh, well. BCNU [17:04] lotuspsychje: I cat'd a couple logs together; I don't want to ignore relavant information, but I want to highlight specifically relevant info [17:05] ash_workz, grep --help | grep highlight [17:05] --colour[=WHEN] use markers to highlight the matching strings [17:05] squinty: does that accomplish what I'm asking though? [17:05] ash_workz, the word highlight on the second line is highlighted in red here [17:06] thank you guys for your help, you are awesome! [17:06] squinty: for example [17:06] I get a blank/black login screen after installing Nvidia driver. Could someone please tell me how to fix it? [17:06] if I cat yesterday and the day before's logs [17:06] Hey guys, anyone with KVM experience snooping around this channel? [17:06] ash_workz, that is an example [17:06] and the grep out all the quits joins etc [17:07] then if I want to highlight ash_workz; I'm not going to grep ash_workz, because that would eliminate information I want [17:07] squinty: or am I missing something? [17:08] Jordan_U, the raided root (ie /dev/md1) ? [17:08] i have / and /swap as RAID 10 [17:08] and /boot as RAID1 [17:08] ash_workz, what's quits and joins have to do with your original question? [17:09] squinty: I guess nothing; [17:09] squinty: so I cat my log, I want the WHOLE log but highlight ash_workz [17:09] squinty: (a more direct question; thanks for helping me articulate) [17:10] trevor_s: Is /dev/md1 mounted to /mnt/ ? [17:10] ash_workz, man grep and search for highlight or use grep --help [17:10] Trying to use 'dpkg -l' in a script to find out if a package is installed. Why the different behaviours for two not installed packages? http://pastebin.com/cMZVj5qt [17:11] I upgraded to 16.06 and now I'm getting problems wiht lvmetad and initramfs not detecting the vg.

[17:11] Jordan_U, none of the raids show up when booting to the live cd [17:12] md0, md1, md2 aren't there [17:12] Jordan_U, they only show up in the Ubuntu server installer [17:12] squinty: I am really confused... color=... just specifies conditions for coloring, "always, never, or auto" [17:12] squinty: the default action of grep is to print lines containing your search string [17:12] I don't want that [17:13] I want the WHOLE log, but just highlight SOME strings [17:13] LambdaComplex: seems so. I can do apt install eclipse [17:13] I guess I could do -B1000000000 or something [17:13] seems dumb though === gianni is now known as Guest8264 [17:15] trevor_s: The link I posted covers assembling the arrays.

Recently I posted this on dropbox help channel which is releated with ubuntu https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206642376-%C4%B0nstallation-issues-in-ubuntu YET I GOT NO ANSWER I need to ask something are there any cloud services that directly supports linux or not [17:23] oh [17:23] yeah [17:23] wait [17:23] * ash_workz reads [17:24] oh, OR [17:24] nice [17:24] nacc: still, I agreed with your original sentiment... I thought there'd be a better tool for colorizing output [17:25] ash_workz, loading log file etc into gedit will accomplish the same thing. [17:25] this is true [17:26] i am trying to get email on failed cron. my crontab belong to ubuntu user. my ubuntu can send emails (i installed mailutils and tested with the mail command). i also have have a line in my /etc/aliases that tells it to send me email if it's ubuntu user. i also have TO_MAIL="my email" at the top of the cron. but i still don't see an email even though my cron fails. [17:26] owen1: isn't it MAILTO? [17:27] nacc: you are correct. i meant to say MAILTO [17:28] owen1: one thing to try; see if you can run a cronjob that just sends e-mail [17:28] owen1: that would verify the cron environment is correctly configured to send e-mail, at least [17:29] nacc: so just have cron with this line? echo "This is the body of the email" | mail -s "This is the subject line" josh@my-company.com [17:31] Jordan_U, here this is better http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16130784/ [17:33] trevor_s: It's odd that they're both named md0.

[17:55] I'm trying to find a way to combine 7 video segments into one complete video. Are there any CLI tools that can do this easily? [17:55] all 7 inputs are .mp4, and the output can be .mp4 or .mkv or whatever. [17:55] okay now i put prompt-lts but then do-release-upgrade tells me there is no new verions [17:55] hello? [17:56] hi [17:56] yids: now you need the -d for development, since the official LTS upgrade is opened in july [17:56] ah [17:56] I am putting together a database on a server, and when I type in the IP into my browser, it shows the schema for anyone to see. What can I do about that? [17:58] i'm trying to deploy a node express service to ubuntu 14.04. I was going to use systemd for this, but just realized that version of ubuntu uses something called upstart instead. Is just using upstart a good option or should I use something else? [17:59] anyone? [17:59] apricity: upstart is the init up to ubuntu 15.04. from that on ubuntu uses systemd. [18:00] apricity: so if you want to use 14.04 you need to use upstart since that is the init system. [18:00] you mean the directory philc_ ? [18:00] oh, yeah. It shows all the schemas [18:00] so I believe yes [18:00] I beleive that is an htaccess setting [18:01] ok, thanks! [18:01] Just needed a direction to head towards [18:01] yw [18:02] can someone tell me how to fix this with out getting back in windows to do so http://pastebin.com/V5JZMPef [18:02] so I have an old pc with 1.5 RAM, pentium 4 1.70GHz. so i got stuck at ubuntu 12.04. updating to 12.10 made my pc super slow, so i reverted. should i try to update to ubuntu version 16 or 15? i don't know what to do. [18:02] k1l, would you think that upgrading from 14.04 to 15.04 or later would be difficult? or is that even a fair question [18:02] okay now my do-release-update crashes [18:03] apricity: ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04 are already dead. and 15.10 only got support until july. you could run the not already opened LTS upgrade to 16.04 with the -d switch for the developers [18:04] help me. i typed my question above ^ [18:04] philc_, http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess11.shtml [18:04] HappyNewYear13: update the pc [18:04] to at least a core 2 duo [18:04] HappyNewYear13: i would suggest a clean install of Lubuntu 14.04 [18:04] * vexare upgrade, that is [18:04] HappyNewYear13, pentium 4 single core, install a lightweight desktop like Lubuntu [18:04] HappyNewYear13: or even Lubuntu 16.04 [18:05] thank you friends vexare k1l and OerHeks i'll think about it [18:05] stereo [18:05] you could rather try puppylinux [18:06] which has a lighter kernel and busybox [18:06] i need a good kernel because i use a USB adapter for Wireless internet [18:07] hi [18:07] so lubuntu has the same kernel as ubuntu? [18:07] HappyNewYear13: yes [18:07] HappyNewYear13: all of the official flavors of Ubuntu share the same kernel and base. [18:07] i use a modern usb adapter for wireless [18:07] what is puppylinux? [18:08] HappyNewYear13: it's a tiny linux distro based on ubuntu i think [18:08] HappyNewYear13: it's not a ubuntu flavor. a light weight distro [18:08] lubuntu sounds more reliable to me [18:08] try both [18:08] so, every 5th or so shutdown, ubuntu just hangs indefinitely. Disabling the splash screen, the last thing it prints when it happens is "Reached target Shutdown". It doesn't display any error messages. Any ideas? [18:08] thank you friends [18:08] Can i assign a public IP for a lxd container just like in KVM? [18:09] sounds like systemd can't kill a running script [18:10] I agree, though I can't think of any scripts which are running [18:10] also, I did set the timeout to 10 seconds, so even then it shouldn't be a problem [18:10] Hello people [18:10] hello! I am running 2 ubuntu servers on 2 virtual machines. I am using them in Bridged Network mode. They both have the correct IP address and I can ping them both from another computer from the network (my laptop) but they cannot ping each other. How is that possible? [18:10] anyone here from the Ubuntu team? [18:10] Can i update softwares via terminal ? [18:10] especially the kernel team? [18:10] dev\null: yes. sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade [18:11] dev\null 'sudo apt-get update' ? [18:11] maybe I should ditch ubuntu and try to find a distro without systemd [18:11] dev\null: "sudo apt update" for a new list from the servers. "sudo apt upgrade" afterwards for the updates to insatll [18:11] mort: what version of ubuntu are you on? [18:12] 16.04 [18:12] Use 14.04 LTS [18:12] why? [18:12] so, I don't get how it is possible for 2 machines with the correct ip address to not be able to ping each other. [18:12] isn't 16.04 an LTS too? [18:12] mort: because it doesn't use systemd [18:13] N3sh108: can they both ping your computer? [18:13] preferably, I'd prefer to make 16.04 work [18:13] anyone from the ubuntu kernel team in here? [18:13] mort: ok, well you said maybe you should try w/o systemd so I just suggested. [18:13] yep nacc [18:14] ReScO: What is the issue you're trying to resolve?

[20:00] Dev_: ah, right, you'll have to find your device number and use that. [20:00] tried that already [20:00] Whir: well, I could just install a clean new system [20:00] Dev_: 'xinput list' will show your devices and their IDs [20:00] maybe it's time for 15 anyways [20:01] I use ubuntu since 10 years, never had an unrepairable package system so far [20:01] nichomachus done. Now it says: property '273' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format [20:01] ok, so we don't know if it is really unrepairable.. [20:01] Whir: i still dont think that this FS is in a proper state. [20:01] k1l: yeah, that could really be [20:01] Whir: did you reboot and run a fsck so far? [20:02] k1l: yeah I did [20:02] ok.

[20:04] Whir, dpkg -l grep smbclient [20:04] Dev_: xinput list-props will show the properties that can be adjusted for that device. [20:04] Whir, dpkg -l smbclient [20:04] ioria: the former command with python* gives a lot of ouptut [20:04] nichomachus Ok. I wrote xset m 00 and acceleration dissapeared. Is this a proper way to do it? [20:05] ioria: http://termbin.com/fmxf [20:05] it works. you will have to put that command into your startup applications, though, so that it runs every time you start up. [20:05] Whir, no python involved for now, i guess [20:06] nicomachus ok, how can I do it? [20:06] Whir, dpkg -l smbclient [20:06] ioria: yaya, just wanted to check another candidate [20:06] nicomachus I mean, what's the file to add this line at the end?

I'm also hanging out in the #plank channel and one of the guys gave me this little snippet to remove it "gsettings set net.launchpad.plank.dock.settings:/net/launchpad/plank/docks/dock1/ show-dock-item false" [20:19] the samsung c460 laser printer worked in 16.04 previously but now won't weird isn't it?

[20:20] I have a list of packages that need to be installed. Anyone got an idea of an efficient way to get a list of those missing? I could pass one by one to dpkg -s, but it would be nice if I could do a oneliner [20:20] please, anybody has an idea about it? [20:20] Whir: without * [20:20] k1l: without '*' : [20:20] ;) [20:20] nicomachus : 1. i tried to install and froze. and i also read that there was something about that [20:20] # dpkg -P smbclient [20:20] dpkg: error processing package smbclient (--purge): [20:20] package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should [20:20] reinstall it before attempting a removal [20:20] Errors were encountered while processing: [20:20] !paste | Whir [20:20] Whir: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. === nolsen_ is now known as nolsen [20:22] k1l: I think it is somehow fs related [20:22] have to leave soon...afk [20:22] tasslehoff, apt-cache rdepends packagename should do what you want === plum is now known as Guest64451 [20:23] Whir: sudo dpkg --remove --force-all smbclient [20:26] k1l: ok, last move for today [20:26] OerHeks: I don't have a package to install, but a list of packages that need to be installed in order to compile our software.

[20:30] ok, so its just that due to the FS errors that got labeled as a directory, while it should be a file. so that is the reason all the script break [20:30] do you guys use netinstall images? [20:30] jim: ubuntu 16.04 is the latest one. [20:30] jim: you can use what suits you best as install procedure [20:31] k1l, thanks... is that considered stable? [20:31] 16.04 is stable, yes [20:32] ok, I'm looking to see how kxstudio works in it [20:32] checking one thing... [20:33] what's the codename of 16.04? [20:33] xenial xerus [20:33] which one is trusty? [20:33] 14.04 LTS [20:34] can I still get that one? [20:34] yes [20:34] sure. it's supported until April of 2019 [20:34] ok, thanks... is there a link to the appropriate netinstall image or dir containing them?

[20:40] jim: it doesn't support uefi fwiw [20:41] I turned uefi off, so maybe I'm good [20:41] Mamiko, perhaps this method might help.. http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/data-recovery-linux-and-ext3?ref=rss [20:41] did someone need me? [20:43] must say, once i worked out all of the bugs and weird random issues 16.04 is not too shabby (at least on the kubuntu side) [20:43] someone: did you need linuxmodder? [20:44] kde anythign for me is ick just saying [20:44] got real tired of unity [20:44] EriC^^: hey it looks better now, there is listing on the bios now for ubuntu. So it is just a matter of using efimanager to set it to default? === nan is now known as Guest90305 [20:44] \join #python [20:44] thanks but any other idea guys? [20:45] \join #python [20:45] in 16.04, where is the right place to configure the lightdm greeter for things like showing manual login, disabling guest, numlockx, and hiding users?

I remember that the installer asked me to make a EFI partition when there was already one there with windows [20:48] robco: try xhost +local: then sudo -i then su lightdm -s /bin/bash then dconf-editor [20:48] rbdv: so I had a EFI boot partition before both OSes [20:48] rbdv, its safer to NOT reuse the windows one in my exp. I have Win 10 and Fedora on this box and separate /boot/efi for each and post install I cp'd the bits over [20:49] that way both can boot singularly or together in chainloader mentality [20:49] Eric: is there an equivalent to 50-ubuntu.conf? that's whereI made the changes in 14.04 iirc [20:49] EriC^^, isn't lightdm -s /bin/bash already set th? [20:50] linuxmodder: it's shell? [20:50] yes [20:50] I am familiar with the syntax [20:50] Hello, I'm having trouble removing a file and was hoping someone could help [20:51] what file? [20:51] Jordan_U, i made some progress... i got grub installed but now i'm at the grub command line at boot [20:51] no it's not set [20:51] the short version Is I cannot ls, chmod, or rm the directory [20:51] linuxmodder: so your saying windows might over write the EFI boot it made again? [20:51] getting "no such file or directory" [20:51] who owns it? [20:51] anyone else having problem with everything being too big graphic wise? I've a Samsung screen [20:51] oh [20:51] so it's a file located where? [20:51] is "network browser" samba client? [20:51] EriC^^, whats up man? have time to help me get grub squared away? i finally got it installed and am at the grub command line. i'm trying to boot a RAIDED server 14.04 install [20:52] how long does it usually take for bugs to get picked up? === Guest66322 is now known as denyosnique [20:52] rbdv, no it might bork ubuntu's and or vice versa (while the later is very rare) [20:52] apparently root owns it, but I've been trying to remove it as root, so.... === denyosnique is now known as denysonique [20:52] what is the file and where is it located? [20:52] trevor_s: hey, ok try "ls -l" [20:52] trevor_s, lost me at raid ( /me uses lvm only) [20:53] Its on a btrfs formatted raid 10; it was part of a seafile database [20:53] tasslehoff, oh oke, see the part 'apt-rdepends --build-depends' http://askubuntu.com/questions/21379/how-do-i-find-the-build-dependencies-of-a-package [20:53] I was unable to get seafile to work properly [20:53] so I wanted tot try again [20:53] which means removing the old data (I have another copy elsewhere) [20:53] robco: there are a bunch of files in /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d and /etc/lightdm [20:54] spec file if available is always a good place to look [20:54] ultrixx, nautilus -> Connect to Server -> smb:// could be used too [20:54] OerHeks, ^ [20:54] linuxmodder: so making a EFI boot partition before both oses is a preferred method? so then install grub to the ubuntu EFI boot partition?

[20:55] are you root or using sudo? [20:55] same here I can do grub rescue shell but never done with raid [20:55] linuxmodder: so does it matter where you make the ubuntu EFI boot partition and can it be done just using the installer and setting grub to that partition? [20:55] much less raid 10 === danny__ is now known as tables [20:55] sudo -s if you haen't already [20:56] the file is located at /mnt//seafile/storage/blocks//17 [20:56] and you ARE root, yes?

[20:57] ltT [20:57] while in /mnt/ [20:57] rbdv, grub handles that [20:57] and I get "directory not empty" [20:57] How do you stop a process in the terminal? In Windows you would do Ctrl+C. [20:57] when I look there, there is nothing [20:58] linuxmodder im unsure what modle it is atm [20:58] if I try to ls -l inside of the directory, I get a bunch of question marks [20:58] z4c: same on ubuntu [20:58] z4c, you stop it with Ctrl+C as well [20:58] use rm -rf seafile/* [20:58] and a 'file or directory does not exists' [20:58] z4c, as long as it doesn't handle SIGINT by itself [20:58] linuxmodder: ok [20:58] k1l, yeah tried that doesnt work [20:58] z4c, what app is it? [20:58] same "directory not empty" [20:58] z4c: what process is it?

[21:01] trevor_s: to be honest i've never tried grub booting + raid [21:01] denysonique, that did the job [21:01] the btrfs tools man page doesnt mention anything [21:01] trevor_s: try echo $root [21:01] z4c, well, with ctrl+z you paused it [21:01] z4c, what is the full php command line that you are running? [21:01] nickalreadytaken, haven't totally followed your issue what's the formating issue? [21:01] Can't remove a directory [21:02] would settle for formatting the btrfs file system [21:02] on a btrfs pool? [21:02] denysonique, i just typed php and enter.. this isnt just php, happens with node and many other apps, ctrl+c never worked [21:02] its a btrfs raid 10 array, 4x8TB [21:02] was supposed to be for a seafile install [21:02] messed up the seafile install, want to remove it and try again [21:02] z4c, then your terminal is b0rken [21:02] hey guys, is there someone who knows about debian packaging??

[21:18] right [21:18] I get your problem [21:18] /foo [21:18] add a slash before you paste [21:18] / [21:18] e.g. [21:18] /home/foo/bar [21:18] I mean [21:18] Just use a pastebin and link it here. [21:18] //home/foobar [21:19] /mnt/021f259c-5976-4802-9ab2-711264ca3c84 [21:19] right. [21:20] lol [21:20] Drone`, dumb bot [21:20] denysonique: TBF, you did spam the channel [21:20] tgm4883, howso? [21:21] by correcting myself? [21:21] denysonique: by correcting yourself 9 times in a minute [21:21] nickalreadytaken, might want to install pastebinit, after install you can send pastes with automatical url displayed in your terminal to paste back into the channel. ie pwd | pastebinit [21:22] nickalreadytaken, the easiest way for you would be to just format the partition [21:22] formatting means removing everything from it and setting up a new filesystem [21:24] EriC^^, /boot/grub wasn't there [21:25] that would be fine [21:25] does anyone know why tab completion doesnt work for systemctl on 16.04? I cant figure out how to enable it [21:25] but I dont see anything about how to do that in the btrfs man files [21:25] nickalreadytaken, long shot here -> sudo apt install bleachbit -> there is an icon for regular and admin after install. start bleachbit -> Custom -> add file / add folder [21:25] nickalreadytaken, with the mkfs.btrfs command [21:26] nickalreadytaken, also you seem to have a problem with the btrfs file system, if you want to know how to remove it maybe ask in #btrfs [21:26] how to remove the file* [21:26] Oh, I see [21:26] I pass in -f and just make a new one on top of the current one [21:26] otherwise mkfs.btrfs should take care it for you [21:26] ? [21:28] bleomycin, with oh-my-zsh it should work out of the box [21:29] denysonique, i need to switch to zsh for it? [21:30] bleomycin, just give it a try [21:30] denysonique, sure i'm happy to try new things, but is there no way to get it working with the default shell? [21:30] well, this could take awhile [21:30] in any case, thank you for the help [21:30] bleomycin, idk, I don't use the default shell [21:31] denysonique, ahh ok [21:33] bleomycin, make sure you have bash-completion is installed [21:33] hey guys is there a way to pick up new permission from a group after a `sudo usermod -aG ` without logging out and logging back in? [21:34] squinty, yeah i'm pretty sure it is but ill check thanks [21:34] dongcarl: sudo login [21:34] just for that shell though [21:34] EriC^^: thanks dude will try it out [21:34] np [21:35] dongcarl, you can confirm your groups with $ groups [21:41] EriC^^ denysonique is there a way to do this without entering my password? [21:42] squinty, yeah its installed [21:43] ahhh weird, it works when i run it as sudo, but if i sudo su then try then there's no tab completion [21:51] bleomycin: don't use "sudo su". [21:51] tgm4883, whats the recommended practice if i dont want to type sudo endlessly? [21:52] !sudo [21:52] sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [21:52] well that wasn't what I thought it was going to be [21:52] heh [21:53] i dont know why a user should have to use "sudo endlessly" but sudo -i gives you a root terminal [21:53] bleomycin: "sudo -i" I believe [21:53] ahhh wasnt aware of -i, i'll have to google the difference with su thanks [21:54] bleomycin: dont use su. that breaks environment variables. ubuntu is build to use sudo [21:55] sudo -s is what i do when i want to stay root [21:56] holy cow is it dumping rain right now === fgunadi1 is now known as fgunadi [21:57] anyone know what would cause the tmp folder to just disappear after a reboot? [21:58] bleomycin, fwiw, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16136478/ using sudo -i in bash Ubuntu 16.04 [21:58] k1l: I've used sudo su for years in debian and have never had a prob. is that an ubuntu only issue? [21:58] tgm4883: That rain .. past us ./.. must be getting what we had ... maybe ? - Safe now to fire up the system . [21:58] glenn_, yeah that's where the confusion is coming from because i use a lot of debian systems [21:59] I just installed 16.04. Its been a while since I have used linux and I really like it. [21:59] glenn_: ubuntu comes with an unactivated root account as standard. so yes. [22:00] bleomycin & k1l: thank you, that's good to know :) [22:00] switching keyboard layouts isn't working [22:00] sorta [22:01] I made a custom one, and I added it to the list in the Unity control panel [22:01] when I select it, it still uses the previously selected one [22:04] wb everyone [22:04] from where? [22:05] i upgraded from 15.10 to 16.04 and didn't have wifi so i switched out my wifi card for an intel 7260NGW wireless card and still dont have wifi [22:06] i can see the card when i type sudo lshw -C network [22:06] but my computer acts like there is no wifi card [22:06] that pos [22:06] oh i mean [22:07] i am having a major issue with byobu i cannot open it "/usr/bin/byobu: 52: .: Can't open //lib/byobu/include/common" is all i get.

[22:11] darkdrgn2k: just run the update-manager [22:11] but im not on tls stream right now [22:11] i did Ubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" [22:11] According to http://www.sshguard.net/docs/setup/#pf it says "SSHGuard adds attackers to table . Create the table and block attackers by adding the following lines to pf.conf:" is there a package I'm supposed to install for that? I don't have pf.conf in any directory I don't think.. === kisb_ is now known as kisb [22:11] what is the path to the apps folder? [22:12] darkdrgn2k: that is ok. run "update-manager" it should ask for upgrade to the next release [22:14] any way to do it cli? [22:14] darkdrgn2k: "sudo do-release-upgrade" [22:15] but that wont upgrade to aTSL release right? [22:15] darkdrgn2k: it will upgrade a 15.10 to 16.04. [22:15] but not tls [22:15] darkdrgn2k: when I ran the command I went from ubuntu server 15 to 16. [22:16] darkdrgn2k: what is the issue with LTS? [22:16] darkdrgn2k: it's "LTS" and why are you hung up on that? you were on a development release, the update tools will just take you to the "next" release [22:16] 16.04 isn't quite LTS yet. [22:16] i know but im thinking i shoud have rateer been on lts [22:16] (isnt lts longer dev cycle?) [22:16] uhh lifetime cycle [22:16] darkdrgn2k: LTS means long term support. and that means you can upgrade from LTS to the 2 years later released LTS on direct path. [22:17] darkdrgn2k: "lsb_release -d" what is that output in terminal? [22:17] tfw I got Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS XD [22:18] Not sure why I chuckled at that tbh... [22:18] So... according to http://www.sshguard.net/docs/setup/#pf it says "SSHGuard adds attackers to table . Create the table and block attackers by adding the following lines to pf.conf:" is there a [22:19] package I'm supposed to install for that? I don't have pf.conf in any directory I don't think. [22:20] SpacePirate: that is for, per their documetnation, the PF firewall [22:20] SpacePirate: probably use the right section for the firewall you use. [22:20] SpacePirate: is sshguard even installed? [22:24] k1l_ yes, I installed it... [22:24] Should I use this one? ==========> apf-firewall - easy iptables based firewall system [22:24] Found it with sudo apt-cache search pf firewall [22:27] does anybody have 16.04 with the arduino IDE and a laptop with a touchpad? there's an issue that might still exist and i want to know if i go through the effort of upgrading: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24610534/deactivate-mevent-case-in-java-ides [22:28] hi guys, need a little help with a boot issue. I can boot into recovery mode, then 'resume' normal boot. A normal boot actually locks the system. Networking never comes up. how can I see a log of where this lockup happened and what caused it?

CASE!" to the console on certain mouse events" [Minor,Fixed] [22:30] nitenq: sounds like a question for whatever VM software you got [22:30] Ben64: isn’t it just a port forward thing ? [22:33] that should be fixed in ubuntu, no? === marshal0505 is now known as DeHetePeper [22:35] tpw_rules I would hope that was fixed in all linux distros years ago [22:35] tpw_rules: a bug that got fixed in 2012? yeah [22:35] well it's still doing it [22:36] i'm on 14.04LTS with 7u95-2.6.4-0-ubuntu0.14.04.2 [22:36] and every time i send matlab a horizontal scroll event, it prints MEvent. CASE! [22:36] i have an omnidirectional trackpad so it's really difficult to avoid while scrolling [22:36] (that version is for openjdk-7-jre) [22:38] Probably time for a new bug report [22:38] oh hm it may not be using ubuntu's version of java [22:38] let me switch that and see if it fixes it [22:39] is there an easy way to find the java path === Michiel_ is now known as Guest32894 [22:40] which java [22:40] I am not a java expert, but you should be able to find version with dpkg -l | grep java in terminal [22:41] jeremy31: Also invited to /join #ubuntu-discuss .

My modified -> http://bit.ly/1VYja7X . Any ideas? [22:44] okay false alarm matlab just ships with a broken version of the jre. setting it to ubuntu's fixes the problem [22:45] have any of you guys set up a local dns server and tried to point ubuntu at it? === DeHetePeper is now known as DeHeetstePeper [22:46] my 'dig' output looks fine, every other system on LAN can use that DNS server.. but ubuntu fails to resolve .local addresses [22:46] What some of the best laptops out (6th gen) that work well with ubuntu?

I've tried different resolutions and nothing seems to help... any ideas? [23:09] Bashing-om: thanks [23:09] !info gparted | welovfree maybe you want to use this [23:09] welovfree maybe you want to use this: gparted (source: gparted): GNOME partition editor. In component main, is optional. Version 0.25.0-1 (xenial), package size 419 kB, installed size 1924 kB [23:10] de-facto, how can I use that software? [23:11] welovfree: 1. install it using "sudo apt-get install gparted" or search for it in the software center 2. open gparted 3. select device 4. format/partition however you like === zer0 is now known as Guest91606 [23:12] Hey guys, i just did a fresh install of ubuntu mate 16.04 and when i login (gui) it just reloads the login screen, unless i put in the wrong pass and it tells me it's wrong [23:12] welovfree you install it, open it then select your usb drive (be carefull you dont select another device as you dont want to format your hdd accidently), then you can partition and format it (e.g. with mbr and fat32 or such) [23:13] de-facto, ok, Thank you [23:14] i wonder if maybe it was just a fluke glitch and i should just reinstall, or if it'd just be the same next time [23:16] Resinator: Graphics driver ? what returns ' sudo lshw -C display ' in the configuation line ? [23:16] not sure im on the machine it's on, on windows [23:16] i dont know enough about linux to get past the login loop [23:17] Resinator i never used mate edition but maybe you find some hints in "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and dmesg? not sure [23:17] lemme write that down [23:17] err, i'll just print it [23:17] Resinator wait [23:17] well i've used mate 14.04 [23:17] and it worked fine [23:17] always [23:17] we love it [23:18] if its too much hassle i could just reinstall that only takes like 5min [23:19] you can switch with Ctrl + Alt + F1 to console tty1, then login there in text mode, then type "dmesg | less" and use arrow keys, then quit out of that with ":q" [23:19] oh ok [23:19] the same you can do with "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [23:19] Hi there. I would like to create a filesystem on a compressed file of dynamic size. Is there any way to do it? [23:20] ahh, ok im gonna try that and see how text mode works [23:20] Resinator with Ctrl + Alt + F7 you can switch back to your gui login [23:20] thanks! [23:20] you can restart the login manager from text mode with something like "systemctl restart lightdm" [23:21] sudo systemctl restart lightdm [23:22] de-facto, "Format to" isn't selectable? [23:23] you guys are dropping the ball here man. sudo apt install letsencrypt is supposed to give me everything I need to run letsencrypt-auto, isn't it? [23:24] instead I get No installers seem to be present and working on your system; fix that or try running letsencrypt with the "certonly" command [23:24] [23:24] ok i have that all written down [23:24] :D [23:24] gotta wait for a while before i can reboot tho, didnt expect a response any time soon [23:24] welovfree make sure its not mounted and you select the correct device [23:25] Resinator thats not a solution but you might get some more info with those [23:25] yeah [23:25] once i try this i should at least have sufficient info for proper support [23:25] maybe [23:25] would it be a glitch with using an old /home [23:26] Resinator what exactly happens when you login correctly? [23:26] de-facto, I have to unmounted it first? [23:26] yes [23:26] i see 1 line of cli that says something too fast to read then back at blank login screen again [23:26] hmmm [23:26] could be an error [23:26] not sure [23:26] i tried it like 50 times trying to read it [23:27] Resinator did you clean install or upgrade? [23:27] clean install but with same /home from prior install [23:27] clean filesystem [23:28] with / on ssd and /home on hdd [23:28] ok maybe you find something in ~/.xsession-errors (thats a hidden file with the name .xsession-errors in your home) [23:28] ahh ok [23:28] * Resinator writes down [23:29] Resinator i think you even can access your linux filesystem readable from windows [23:29] de-facto, where can I see the progress of formating? [23:29] doubt it, it's ext4 [23:30] yeah there are some drivers for ext3/4 that (if you are interessted) [23:30] wow [23:30] did not know that [23:30] all I can see is this http://prntscr.com/ayikd8 [23:31] i was thinking about just cruising back to 14.04 and sticking with it a while longer [23:31] initially [23:31] Resinator i think i used that once http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [23:32] * Resinator checking out page [23:33] but dont write with them (it may screw up your journal if i remember correctly), reading is fine though [23:35] welovfree if you are sure you selected the correct device and are all set to format it, take a deep breath and click in that green check mark below the menu (perform actions or such) [23:40] has anyone here installed KVM on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS? wondering if these instructions are still good: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation [23:44] !info virt-manager | imthenachoman you might be interessted in this package maybe [23:44] imthenachoman you might be interessted in this package maybe: virt-manager (source: virt-manager): desktop application for managing virtual machines.
