[00:02] everson: is it possible when run as root, it's using root's home directory to search for profiles (I assume gnome-terminal must save them somewhere in ~) [00:02] everson: also, why are you running gnome-terminal as root? [00:02] django_, first is Windows using the whole hard drive? If yes, you will need to shrink it first before installing. re along side or something else, it depends on how you want to set it up. Using "something else allows the user to set the partitions and their sizes etc according to their personal preferences.

[00:13] 15.04 is eol [00:13] I'm still going to do a fresh install, but last time I had problems with unetbootin and UEFI - I forget what I had to do in my BIOS to get it to start up correctly [00:13] I wish you could go from 15.04 to 16.04. Two upgrades is just sooo time consuming === ThisIsTheory is now known as Guest25737 [00:14] can anyone help me please? [00:14] !lamp | at54tl [00:14] at54tl: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. [00:16] I have set up LAMP but for some reason I can't access https externally only internally === Guest25737 is now known as allGROWEDup [00:16] any advice? [00:17] chris__w: well, the idea is if you chose to be on 15.04, you should have upgraded to 15.10 some time ago [00:17] chris__w: that's the idea behind hte development releases, at least [00:17] nacc: Yeah, I was lazy.

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:23] at54tl: can you access it locally? (like on the server directly) [00:24] omg [00:24] yes I can access it locally [00:24] :) [00:24] but not externally [00:25] at54tl: is your webserver listening on the public IP on the appropriate port (`netstat -pan` as root will tell you) [00:26] It's port forswarded through my router. [00:26] at54tl: do you see the https request at all? [00:27] at54tl: Ports are open through the router and no firewall running right? [00:28] yes no firewall port is opened through the router [00:31] at54tl: Run "telnet localhost 443" [00:31] at54tl: If telnet connects, then run "iptables -L -n" [00:33] ok [00:33] iptables v1.4.21: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied [00:34] probably need sudo [00:35] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16330448/ [00:35] I pasted the output [00:36] nice - two drives have failed, that's why i'm having a hard time [00:36] could this be an indication of a mobo failure? [00:36] any thoughts? [00:37] explodes, run Disks and see Smart data to make sure your disks are failing [00:37] at54tl: It looks fine to me. What is the web server provider? They might have a secondary firewall built in. [00:37] squinty: one is failing by Smart [00:38] I run it at home [00:38] the other is no longer recognized as a disk [00:39] so what can I do? [00:39] explodes, could be mobo/controller, or powersupply or just the drives [00:39] explodes: usually just a case of hardware failure, afaik. can't really recall any situations where motherboard would cause such failures but others milage might vary on that topic [00:40] For my new boot disk, I should dd to /dev/sdb not /dev/sdb1, right? [00:40] right [00:40] Why is unetbootin even recommended [00:40] hello? [00:41] explodes: works for me :-) [00:41] at54tl: I'm thinking, running out of ideas [00:41] squinty: do you have UEFI? [00:41] ok thanks [00:42] explodes, no :P [00:45] at54tl: Honestly, if it isn't a firewall issue then probably something in your httpd-ssl.conf [00:46] ok [00:46] Do you have Listen 443 in there? [00:47] yes [00:48] Do you get an error at all? [00:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16330896/ [00:49] there it is [00:50] at54tl: Set your error log to "debug" level. And see if you get an error that can narrow this down. [00:50] where to do I do that? [00:51] at54tl: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16331001/ [00:53] at54tl: Restart Apache once you set the error level [00:53] I put those entries in ports.conf ?

[01:18] wymillerlinux, Is that gonna make my HDDs visible? [01:19] if your the root user, i think so [01:19] administrador: What file systems and who owns the mount points ? [01:19] wymillerlinux, but I dont want to open them as root, I have files that need to be accessed by other programs [01:21] Bashing-om, one of them is ext4 and the other one is fat32 or NTFS [01:21] Bashing-om, I don't know who own the mounting points [01:21] administrador: good point, you can always open programs as root with 'sudo myprogram' with myprogram being the program you need to be running [01:22] but you probs don't want to do that lol [01:22] No, I don't know what happened, probably a program I installed, I dunno [01:23] you think I could just chmod 777 to the HDD? [01:23] administrador: Are the hard drives .. internal ..or external ? what returuns ' ls -al /media/ ? [01:24] administrador: sure, or you could 755 your drives if only you want access to your drives [01:25] administrador: fat and NTFS are not POSUX complient .. chmod no workie .

[01:28] Bashing-om, They are internal, but I do not know anything about /etc/fstab thing... [01:28] there is nothing in /etc/fstab.d file [01:29] administrador: personally, i'd check the power and the data (IDE/SATA) cables are plugged in and the bios to make sure your drives are there [01:29] administrador: ' cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . Pass the link back here and we see how they are mounted . [01:30] administrador: did you reboot already to see if something switched? if you're in terminal, are a different user? [01:30] oh, root:root, huh [01:31] http://termbin.com/88mk [01:31] Bashing-om: gnome disks should see the disks, right? said disks don't have to be mentioned in /etc/fstab do they??

[01:34] administrador: There is no provision in fstab to mount the "internal" hard druves .. do they exist to the system ' sudo fdisk -lu ' . To know what we are working with .

[02:05] I find if I say `sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv`it says `Package python-virtualenv is not available, but is referred to by another package.` [02:06] If I search google for what to do, they say to run `sudo add-apt-repository universe` … if i do this it says `add-apt-repository: command not found` [02:07] mcc uncomment it in sources.list, or in the updatetool> sources [02:09] there is not such a line in my /etc/apt/sources.list [02:09] what's updatetool [02:11] not sure what version you are using, but there should be a line like deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ universe [02:11] or type sources in dash, and the update tool should show up [02:15] mcc: when's the last time you updated that box? [02:15] i figured it out thanks [02:15] rhorse: 14.04 [02:17] mcc: frequent updates are the key, I've found [02:17] weekly updates [02:18] oh [02:18] i do apt-get upgrade regularly, i just mean i haven't dist-upgraded since 14.04 [02:18] !dist-upgrade | mcc [02:18] mcc: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [02:19] it's also called [ apt full-upgrade ] now [02:19] ok [02:21] The newest versions of swc are good at reminding when updates are available.

[02:53] wymillerlinux: There are use cases where VMs is not appropriate? [02:54] is unallocated correct?? [02:54] wyoung: there's basically no case where a VM _is_ appropriate [02:55] reisio: really? [02:55] wyoung: yeah but it's controversial [02:55] wyoung: why would you seek out overhead [02:55] ok i gues its right [02:56] reisio: negligable when you weigh up the advantages [02:56] wyoung: personally, i'd use a VM [02:57] wyoung: you may be confusing sticking your head in the sand and repeating "short term gratification is better than long term efficiency" with an advantage [02:57] reisio: true === alicef_off is now known as alicef [02:58] reisio: I call automatic failover of a VM to another physical machine an advantage [02:58] also, that only works in magical scenarios where it _does_ work in the short term, and you don't invest time and effort debugging hardware virtualization === ubuntu is now known as Guest957 [02:58] wyoung: that is not unique to hardware virtualization [02:58] at all [02:59] reisio: the ability to jungle VMs between machines is also great when you need to service physical hardware [02:59] wyoung: how's that matter if you have the failover you just spoke about? [02:59] (answer: it doesn't) [02:59] reisio: that was the failover I was just talking about [02:59] another example of its use [03:00] that isn't failover, that's moving stuff after it's failed :p [03:00] you can move metal installs just as simply [03:00] How much memory you need for smooth function in VM? [03:00] Rhorse: depends on the host & guest, but not much, really [03:00] particularly since, as previously alluded to, when using hardware virtualization, people expect it to have crappy performance [03:01] Rhorse: depends, you can do full blown virtualisation or paravirtualisation [03:01] because it will unavoidably be less performant [03:01] I see [03:02] Rhorse: very little overhead though [03:02] Rhorse: but compared with the advantages it's nothing [03:02] wyoung: and you install Windows into VM how..? [03:02] I update my 12.04.03 with dist-upgrade and grub-install give me error failed to get canonical path.

Normaly I do grub-install /dev/sdc2 and /dev/sdd2 before rebooting.. never had problems. [03:04] I made the usb and booter into Ubuntu [03:04] Rhorse: it's pretty transparent most of the time, just tell your VM to boot the install media [03:04] wymillerlinux: thinking more of a place to run the occasional windows app...PokerStars...photoshop, etc..

I feel like I'm completely lost [03:12] drama: look in what folder? [03:13] munch_28: any book about linux if you want to know how to use the command line interface. [03:14] munch_28: but you probably want to look into wine specifically as that is the application you want to know where it is storing its files [03:14] munch_28: that isn't related to the OS specificallu [03:14] I dont like wine, I prefer some alternatives softwares! [03:14] I prefer switching to superior open source software, so I don't ever have to switch again [03:15] jmario: so do I, I prefer to use a Windows VM [03:15] wyoung: I keep hearing that as an alternative....

For office apps I use a VM [03:16] munch_28: no, Wine is actually a much better implementation of win32 than Windows [03:16] django_: sorry that took a while lol, that looks about right [03:16] it's merely less ideal than native, & open source [03:16] wymillerlinux: do I just hit ok?

[06:53] max12345, not specifically, but it is installed [06:54] kiran_, are u sure wine isnt already installed? [06:56] do you use some kind of usb thing with your headphones or do you use the standard audio jacks? the sound manager has a default audio output, if your system has trouble recognizing the usb thingy that might be your problem. [06:58] max12345, no everything is normal, meaning standard audio jacks, headphones, mic. [07:00] max12345, right now its playing but it thinks its coming from the headphone but the headphones are unplugged. if i plug them in, they work, but then unplugging them does not restore sound. i have to go into volume control and switch input to headphones(unplugged) to get the speakers to work.

[07:35] indeed, not very imaginative with the nick but I settled on it [07:37] good morning all :-) [07:37] if I script some commands in a file with .sh format and run that without typing commands repetitively for a task, would that work? [07:37] Anyone come on?? [07:39] hi guys, I'm having quite a problem with my ubuntu installation... [07:39] I just installed it and after reboot all I can see is a flashing "_" [07:39] I need help dual-booting my computer. I cannot get it to boot to the ubuntu dvd. I have tried downloading another iso, and burning it on a different computer, and I still have the same problem. I also tried changing the boot order in my bios and it still ignores the dvd drive and just boots to windows [07:40] hello. any idea how to enable bluetooth on the ubuntu desktop login screen? [07:43] goskydiving : Does your computer detects the OS ? [07:43] goskydiving, sometimes there 2 places in bios where you have to select the boot drive. Perhaps you can just activate "Boot Selection Menu" during the boot time and select from there? [07:43] there are* [07:43] this time i had to first log in with my guest user and then add the bluetooth keyboard and then log out and then my bluetooth keyboard can be used during login, but its a bit annoying [07:43] if I script some commands in a file with .sh format and run that without typing commands repetitively for a task, would that work? [07:45] IonutVan_: I have been selecting the dvd drive from the boot selection menu and it still ignores the optical drive. Any other ideas? :-/ [07:45] goskydiving, try to see if you cd/dvd is bootable on a different machine or in a vmware/virtualbox perhaps? [07:46] Android: windows sees the files on the dvd when i view it, but my computer refuses to boot the dvd, and that's where my confusion is ... :-( [07:47] I only get a flashing _ at boot, isn't that a grub issue ? [07:47] IonutVan_: I'm going to try that. goodnight everyone [07:54] Myrkur : Probably. [07:54] Myrkur : If you have a live usb, try running from that. [07:56] Android: I just installed it with the live usb [07:56] could I repare grub from the live? [07:57] Yes [07:57] Cool, will you help me to do so? [07:58] Can you remind me, was it possible to pick a desktop environment when installing ubuntu? [07:58] like in the debian installer [07:58] re able to run live usb on that system. [07:59] *Are [07:59] *Are you [07:59] yes [07:59] ok Android well, don't ask me why but since I plugged my live usb the grub loaded [08:00] ah, nvm [08:01] Donitzo : You have the option to reinstall the system. But that might erase your data on the disk for previous OS. === gms is now known as Guest632 [08:01] I did the same a few weeks back. [08:02] The system isn't installed yet, but I'd prefer not to install Unity in the first place [08:02] That's the current desktop environment right? [08:02] much more prefer xfce === Drac0 is now known as Guest54800 [08:05] You can simply do that after installing the OS for any environment. [08:05] Yes, but that is a lot of extra bloat on the system [08:05] if I can't deselect it [08:05] ok Android so grub only loads when I put my live usb... [08:08] Myrkur : Could'nt get you completely. If you see the option for you OS on grub, just select that and try a reinstall. [08:08] That works in most of the cases unless it is some hardware requirement issue. [08:09] yes but i'm afraid it uses the live grub... [08:09] Donitzo: install from the server image, there you can select what desktop to install. [08:09] yeah could be... [08:10] thanks for the suggestion ducasse [08:11] Myrkur : Just install the OS and state what happens. === andrew_ is now known as andragan [08:11] ok [08:11] Donitzo: no problem. you can also use the xubuntu image if xfce is what you want. [08:12] does fix for screen tearing for intel hd graphics by making a 20-intel.conf still work on ubuntu 16.04? [08:16] cicko: is this a clean install or upgrade? [08:16] clean install lotuspsychje [08:16] cicko: your system up to date also? [08:17] it is [08:17] cicko: liveusb mode also does the screen tearing? [08:17] lotuspsychje I've got this screen tearing on every ubuntu-based os, however this could be fixed by creating this file before [08:18] So, does Xenial only ship with PHP ≥ 7.0 ? [08:18] cicko: perhaps making a new bug would be interesting for this [08:18] Takumo: yes, wich version do you need? [08:19] lotuspsychje: ~> 5.6.0 [08:19] Takumo: well its recommended to use package versions, meant for your specific ubuntu version, so better not mix [08:19] Takumo: so if you need lower php version, install a lower ubuntu version [08:20] lotuspsychje I have found another way to fix this, by autostarting compton, but there seems to be a delay, how to start program without a delay? [08:20] lotuspsychje: I would if the whole job wasn't to "upgrade to latest verison of ubuntu" [08:20] cicko: im not familliar with compton, sorry [08:21] Takumo: what do you mean by that? [08:21] lotuspsychje I'm just wondering how to start any program immediately after booting [08:21] cicko: check systemd perhaps [08:22] lotuspsychje running that says: Trying to run as user instance, but $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set. [08:23] Android: i ran boot-repair which reinstalled grub and now everything's ok [08:25] lotuspsychje: the job as agreed by the client was to replace their existing systems with new ones running xenial to be ready for next year when precise goes out of support [08:26] Takumo: how about php version from 14.04? [08:26] if I can get it installed on xenial, but can't really tell the client that we're now not upgrading to xenial after they've signed off the job to upgrade to xenial. [08:28] Takumo: right, and whats the reason you cant work with php7 ? [08:29] lotuspsychje: the application we're running for the client doesn't function correctly under PHP 7 :/ [08:29] and its a vendored package [08:29] Takumo: perhaps talk to the #ubuntu-server channel about it, they might know a workaround for this [08:30] !pinning | Takumo another way/use at own risk [08:30] Takumo another way/use at own risk: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [08:30] k [08:30] hali halo === abhishek_ is now known as Guest8958 === erkules_ is now known as erkules [08:45] What is a better irc chat to use? I am using chatzilla plugin for Firefox. [08:45] Magical [08:46] WoodyPC: irssi, hexchat,weechat [08:46] What do yall use? [08:46] How i can check how much more mkfs.ext4 takes time? Some kind of indicator [08:47] going to check those now. [08:47] Anyone know the reason why after adding the themes in usr/share/theme it doesn't show the themes in appearence? [08:47] Now it has done almost 1h 30min and 16gb usb stick [08:47] WoodyPC id recomment #hexchat its really nice [08:48] insidious: you can use unity-tweak-tool to manage themes if you like [08:48] !themes | insidious [08:48] insidious: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy [08:48] do i have to install that? [08:48] insidious: yes [08:49] hey guys, I am trying to secure a server against the https drown attack, my understanding of Drown is that if older encryption methods are turned off the server should be secure yet despite only having TLS1.2 enabled the server I am trying to secure is still weak. Anyone have any experience with this? [08:49] insidious press Alt + F2 enter "r" hit enter, then fire up tweak tool [08:49] AlanJenkins: perhaps the #ubuntu-server channel can advise you on it? [08:49] ok ill try it [08:49] lotuspsychje: ok mate will try there [08:50] thanks [08:50] AlanJenkins: also make sure your server is always up to date [08:50] !usn | AlanJenkins and recent security flaws here [08:50] AlanJenkins and recent security flaws here: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. [08:50] insidious well thats at least how it works under gnome, not sure how to reload unity though (you might need to relogin) [08:52] server is up to date as far as it can be for trusty [08:53] so short of making my own packages there are no updates [08:53] AlanJenkins you can fire https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ at your server to get more info if you like [08:54] that didn't work [08:54] AlanJenkins: do you have a a CVE number for that security issue? [08:55] Hi! I recently upgraded to 16.04 and am having an unfixable (so far) problem with my audio not working. I've tried a whole bunch of things to no avail. Can someone help shed some light on this? [08:55] insidious which desktop environment do you use there? [08:55] xfce [08:57] insidious hmm i dont have much experience with that but maybe you can ask in #xubuntu about restarting XFCE (i guess it may be needed for the new themes to show up). also make sure their layout structure is like the others in that dir and the version is supported [08:57] Hey after "do-release-upgrade". Doesn't installation automatically starts? [08:57] restarting xfce? [08:57] Android: it downloads the sources.list and some stuff and asks if you want to continue [08:58] k1l: CVE-2016-0800 [08:58] Lloyd___ have you tired fiddling with pavcontrol and alsamixer? looked for the drivers in dmesg and such? [08:58] It downloaded the OS files (1200 MB) approx. [08:58] but trusty is apparently not weak yet https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html says the server is [08:58] Android: that sounds about right [08:58] it is running nginx, and is fully up to date [08:58] AlanJenkins: how is it weak ? [08:58] Android: it should unpack them and configure too [08:59] AlanJenkins: just being "up to date" is not enough, it has to be configured correctly too [08:59] AlanJenkins: ubuntu servers are not affected: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2016-0800.html [08:59] Android: and probably ask you a bunch of config questions [08:59] ikonia: it has been configured too [08:59] https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=beta.uneekclothing.com&hideResults=on [08:59] I've gone into the alsamixer and made sure everything is up, as well as gone into the sound settings to check if it picks up th sound card. Any suggestions? [08:59] AlanJenkins: see the comment from the security team: mdeslaur> openssl in Ubuntu is compiled with no-ssl2 [08:59] AlanJenkins: so you are not using a ubuntu server? [08:59] AlanJenkins: so what is it saying is weak then - how is it doing the test [09:00] !sound | Lloyd___ [09:00] Lloyd___: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [09:00] AlanJenkins you also can try to develop a secure config with https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator/ but make a backup of your config dir before [09:00] But there were some errors watch this http://pastebin.com/iSsxN5Kq [09:00] hey yall, You know in Windows there is: accounts\username\apdata...etc...etc... right. Well in Ubuntu, What is the equivalent? [09:00] de-facto: I did just that yet it is still showing as vulnerable using that test [09:00] it is doing my head in =/ [09:00] AlanJenkins: what is it flagging as open [09:01] WoodyPC: /home/your-user [09:01] Android: press enter [09:01] it exits [09:01] only red on the page other than the bit saying that it is vulnerable against drown is this: Vulnerable (same key with SSL v2) <- does it want me to get a new SSL cert or? [09:01] Android: aha try sudo dpkg --configure -a [09:01] Android: and sudo apt-get -f install [09:01] WoodyPC: ctrl+h to show hidden files in your /home folder [09:02] AlanJenkins: how did you make your certificate ? [09:02] lotuspsychje: That was next question. [09:02] lotuspsychje: How do I delete hidden files? [09:03] ikonia: I believe it was generated by Plesk when someone else setup the server [09:03] WoodyPC: can you tell us first whats your end goal? [09:03] AlanJenkins did you try the strict settings on that generator? legacy may include some insecure settings afaik [09:03] AlanJenkins: what ubuntu is on that machine? [09:03] k1l: trusty [09:03] is there a list of bloatware out there that i could remove from an ubuntu server installation? [09:03] aka 14.04 [09:03] Errors encountered with squid3. Should I run "sudo apt-get -f install" now. [09:03] AlanJenkins: the CVE you posted doesnt affect ubuntu since the packages for openssl are not compiled to support that attack [09:03] Android: yeah [09:04] AlanJenkins: plesk.....there is your answer there [09:04] then [09:04] AlanJenkins: make sure "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" got all packages intsalled [09:04] sexytime: what are you trying to uninstall exactly? [09:04] ikonia: yes I know but I am just securing it for someone else (removing that is not an option for them as they are not techy) [09:04] lotuspsychje, well say i got a new box. and i installed ubuntu server on it. i would like to remove everything that i wont be using the server for. in this case. all im going to run in this box is a nodejs server [09:05] AlanJenkins: then you'll need to work around it [09:05] keeping this in mind. how would you recommend i go about removing the stuff i do not care for [09:05] de-factso: thanks i had check the layout and version got other ones to work with the same file structure. [09:05] and they will not take the fact that the libs used by ubuntu are not vulnerable, they will keep moaning until https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html gives a decent rating [09:05] lotuspsychje: Sure. I am playing some games that save data under you username and if you want to start the game over, (as if you have never played), You have to delete the data file for that game. [09:05] Does "sudo apt-get -f install" installs the failed software updates?? [09:05] guessing I should try regen the SSL certs manually next [09:05] insidious glad to hear :) [09:05] sexytime: i think ubuntu server is already pretty vanilla to start with, buildup what you really need [09:06] lotuspsychje, ah ok thanks i just needed that confirmation [09:06] as as far as I can tell nginx and config + openssl should be fine [09:06] Or failed software installations? [09:06] Is it normal that mkfs.ext4 is making lot of lines with y char? 1h 47min now doing that format on usb 16gb. [09:06] sexytime: see also the #ubuntu-server channel [09:06] Noob: no, that sounds like somehow the program "yes" is running [09:06] sexytime just do the install itself as minimal as you can, then add stuff as you need it (thats always a good strategy imho ;) [09:06] By the way, done. Now? [09:07] Noob: did you run mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX && yes ? [09:07] sexytime: we are fortunate that bloatware which i think you refer to from windows-land does not exist in ubuntu [09:07] de-facto, i havent installed ubuntu servers before. im assuming during the installing it will ask me about additional stuff i want and i can just untick them? [09:07] Noob: is this from a script? [09:07] akik haha right-o [09:07] By the way, done. Now? [09:07] IT asked me something and i wrote yes to it [09:08] WoodyPC: sure, you can find saved games files in your /home hidden dirs [09:08] Noob: maybe it just asked you that it's done or something? [09:09] sexytime yeah just install sshd and add everything else later maybe? at least then you know what you install and where to look for configs. Also you might want to scan it with nmap and look with "sudo netstat -tulpn" so you are sure you know everything listening [09:09] Noob: try to press shift+home and then go down a bit and see what it asked and paste here if possible [09:09] Now, how do I install it after squid3 has been installed. [09:09] Noob: not sure what you did but there's a command 'yes' which outputs a string until you stop it. e.g. "yes y" [09:10] Trying to figure out if I should go for Xubuntu or Mate Desktop. Any quick pointers? or personal view points? [09:10] thanks [09:10] No. It was just starting. Asking something with hmm..shift home wont work [09:10] Noob: mkfs should display its progress on screen as it goes [09:10] Noob: when it asked you did you have a shell prompt? like user@something:/$ [09:10] lotuspsychje: They are in my Downloads/Games directory. Under each game folder [09:10] de-facto, im assuming in the installer there is option to untick sshd ? [09:11] in the installer of the ubuntu server i mean [09:11] R0binh00d: the users choice really [09:11] I will close it. I can do it again. Lets try again wait [09:11] R0binh00d: ask yourself what flavor you really need? [09:11] mango [09:11] Noob: ok try ctrl+c [09:11] sexytime i guess so but you need some way to access it later (the most secure/common would be sshd) [09:11] lotuspsychje, yeah you are right. Which one do you use by the way? [09:11] de-facto, i think i will keep sshd [09:11] R0binh00d: 16.04 64bit with unity [09:12] EriC^^ : Done. Now? [09:12] R0binh00d: xubuntu and mate are lighter in use [09:12] How to install? [09:12] So if you just booted your system, and nothing else is running, how much RAM would be in use? [09:12] Android: try dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | nc termbin.com 9999 [09:12] There isnt any partition..maybe i have to add partition first === luckybunny is now known as LBSkynyrd [09:12] Android: install what? [09:13] 16.04 [09:13] Noob: what did you run it on earlier? [09:13] If 16 gb is taking too long [09:13] R0binh00d: unity eats more ram then xfce, how much ram do you have? [09:13] Noob: it shouldn't take too long, just like 30secs or so [09:13] lotuspsychje: So, How do delete these types of directories? They are hidden and read/only. Remember, these are games, They don't have anything to do with changing Ubuntu or anything serious. [09:14] I just took new usb 16 gb and wanted to format it [09:14] Noob are you in gparted doing this? [09:14] Noob: do it from gparted ^ [09:14] Terminal..not in gparted [09:14] http://termbin.com/yiw8 [09:14] Noob: create a fresh partition table, then make 1 16gb partition, and format it [09:14] Now what's this? [09:14] WoodyPC: in your /home folder cant harm, but make sure you dont delete config files instead of savedgames files [09:14] Noob: ok, use gdisk/fdisk cfdisk/cgdisk [09:14] EriC^^ : Now what's this? [09:15] WoodyPC: better lookup your specific game, how its stores its files exactly first [09:15] Android: those are packages that have been removed but the configuration files are still there, doesn't seem to be any unconfigured or half-installed ones though [09:15] Noob it shouldnt take hours, more like seconds or minutes even if the usb is slow. be carefull though you choose the correct device, i guess you dont want to format your hdd accidently... [09:16] Android: the install seems ok [09:16] Now, installed? [09:16] Android: yes type lsb_release -a [09:17] hey [09:17] whats the best irc client [09:17] i have a problem to upgrade my ubuntu : [09:17] dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/srvadmin-hapi_8.3.0-1_amd64.deb (--unpack): [09:17] subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 127 [09:17] Iwhat is good partition table type? Msdos? [09:17] django_: users choice really [09:17] django_: gui there's hexchat xchat, cli there's irssi weechat are most common [09:17] django_ "the best" depends on your needs i guess [09:17] how can i fix it ? [09:17] Noob: msdos is ok [09:18] django_: I use Xchat and its ok. Try it out. [09:18] de-facto: I have installed aoss, alsaplayer, mpg321 and still no sound. [09:18] Ange7: did you add ppa's of any kind? [09:18] lotuspsychje, I have a 8 gigs, another one with 16 gigs, and one with 4 gigs ... I want to keep just one DE on alll [09:18] R0binh00d: thats plenty! use any DE you want :p [09:18] lotuspsychje: huh ? i don't know ? [09:19] Ange7: tell us the full story please [09:19] Cool, doesn't seems to be a change in environment though. Requires restart?

Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [09:19] i try to do upgrade of my server and i have one error during upgrade, [09:19] Lloyd___ hmm so are you sure you got drivers for your sound device working? enabled the correct channels in alsamixer (sometimes they are muted or so)? played with pavcontrol for pulse audio? [09:19] so i can't upgrade my server [09:19] i don't know why [09:19] Ange7: wich server version to wich?

[09:20] Ange7: not advised yet to upgrade [09:20] Ok when this is ready i will use dd to copy/clone old usb stick to this new one. I have to umount it first [09:20] i just make : apt update && apt upgrade [09:20] de-facto I have enabled all the channels in alsamixer. What command should I use to check if the correct sound driver is installed [09:20] now i have one error [09:21] Ange7: oh, you have server 14.04 and want to update your packages? [09:21] Noob: if you're using dd you don't need to make a partition table or anything first, dd will copy everything [09:21] yes [09:21] Ange7: can you pastebin the full output of your update & upgrade command? [09:21] sure [09:22] Lloyd___ you can look for messages about sound devices in "dmesg" but i guess if you see your channels in alsamixer you already have drivers for it then === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [09:22] Lol then i did this whole thing for nothing. Well i learn something new :) [09:22] Noob: true :) [09:23] lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/hQdPjFBQ [09:23] lotuspsychje: I opened my Downloads/Games/"gamename" and used ctrl h and I can see the protected "savegame" directory. In my game help file it says to delete this folder. I need to know the terminal command to delete a hidden/readonly file? [09:24] de-facto, I have looked at dmesg and it picks up the sound devices. [09:24] Ange7: think you have ppa's added in there... [09:25] Lloyd___ ok then its some kind of config issue i guess [09:25] Ange7: check your sources.list and purge ppa's first before you update [09:25] How can i do this ?

The issue was from a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04. So I think another fresh install won't really fix anything. [09:27] Anybody knows for how to expand partition without using live usb? [09:27] partition for /home [09:27] lotuspsychje: my /etc/apt/sources.list : http://pastebin.com/SFk8RpTq [09:28] lotuspsychje thank you, I will do that, but regardless of that, could someone please help me solve this?

[09:33] 24.4 GB [09:33] Sorry, that's for contents [09:34] can't install ppa-purge cause try to upgrade srvadmin-hapi [09:34] Android: what about size? [09:34] Android: try df -h /home [09:34] free space 2.9 GB approx. [09:35] 29 GB [09:35] so it's about 28gb [09:35] ya [09:35] Android: ok, i guess it's /dev/sda7 then [09:35] i think you're going to have to do it from a live usb, after backing up your stuff [09:36] Android: you need to shrink /dev/sda6 a little and move /home (sda7) back a little [09:37] wait a sec [09:37] Android: there's something very odd about your partitions [09:37] line number 14, 340-341 for swap1, then 492 to 500 for swap2 [09:37] there's like 150gb space that isn't allocated [09:37] lotuspsychje: how can i get the ppa name ? [09:38] Android: if you delete swap1, you could extend /home and have the 150gb [09:38] But, /home is a subdirectory of /. Then, how is it possible. [09:38] Means separate partitions for them. [09:38] I need to be able to delete a "hidden/read only directory in my downloads/games directory. I used ctrl h to see it, but it is protected. Using Terminal: How do I delete this 1 directory? [09:39] Android: home is on a separate partition, it's just mounted under the other filesystem "/" [09:39] Android: if you extend /home 's partition then it'll have that much more space [09:40] using GParted [09:40] But there is a problem [09:40] Android: wait dont do it from a live system [09:40] Then, use live usb? [09:41] Android: you should back up first just in case [09:41] yeah [09:41] you could do it from a live session (not using gparted though) but the backup part is essential here [09:41] Sorry, didn't got that. That's why I'm here. [09:41] modifying partitions is somewhat risky (especially shrinkin but that's not the case here) [09:41] backup your stuff in /home to somewhere else and then do it [09:42] Android: can you back it up to one of the other partitions you have? or another hdd maybe? [09:42] i'm having issues of having firefox freezing up on ubuntu [09:42] where the window doesn't respond at all [09:42] Ok, I'm trying.

I tried to install recommended one but when I click the reccomended driver it's wait a while then back to the X.Org driver like nothing happened [09:54] EriC^^, I can't even click the install button [09:54] ozberk: try from the terminal to see any errors [09:54] sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [09:56] EriC^^, I tried it downloaded a zip file from Nvdia and excract it but then the installation app told me thet it can't do the operation while the GDM is still running.

What exactly lightdm stop does? [10:29] OerHeks: alright then [10:29] Android: try to restart the pc, when it starts hold shift to get grub, then press e over ubuntu and add "text" after quiet splash [10:29] OerHeks: ty [10:29] Android: it should stop the display manager that launches your gui session [10:29] Android: i guess we should have done service lightdm restart [10:30] Android: anyways restart and add "text" you should boot to a tty with no lightdm [10:30] then login as root and start irssi [10:30] EriC^^, your article also solved a deadly problem about the steam which could not be installed for the dependecities issues like the nvdia drivers.

[11:26] next to swap? [11:26] yeah [11:27] there are two [swap] enteries under Mount Point [11:27] aha [11:27] so sda8 was in use [11:27] :/ [11:27] What that causes? [11:27] ok, type swapoff -a [11:28] i'd think nothing [11:28] done [11:28] now? [11:28] if it attempts to write to that region your /home filesystem isn't extended to there yet [11:28] ok, try partprobe again [11:28] done [11:28] now> [11:29] Android_: ok, now run a fsck on home [11:29] what's the name of the partition now? [11:29] i was upgrading from 15.10 to 16.4, i done a yum update /upgrade then run sudo update-manager -d and run it through that, half way through i closed the terminal down and now the package manager has hung half way through upgrading packages [11:30] paul98: yum? [11:30] type fsck? [11:30] Android_: e2fsck -f /dev/sdaX [11:30] yes [11:30] type lsblk to get the name of it [11:31] paul98: you're aware that Ubuntu doesn't use yum?

[11:32] nothing of size 170 GB [11:32] 5 partitions [11:33] and one rom [11:33] hmm which is the home you'd think? [11:34] i was upgrading from 15.10 to 16.4, i done a apt-get update /upgrade then run sudo update-manager -d and run it through that, half way through i closed the terminal down and now the package manager has hung half way through upgrading packages [11:34] thats better! :) [11:34] I'm bit confused but home was on sda 7, but deleted, now five partitions and none appear to be home [11:34] Android_: did you recreate it? [11:34] Android_: type cfdisk /dev/sda [11:35] now? [11:35] yeah [11:35] sda 1,2,3,4,5,6 [11:35] ok any 170gb ones [11:36] free space (170 G), [11:36] which one?

[11:40] Did not decide yet [11:41] ok, cool you'll have 130gb to do something with later [11:41] ok [11:41] after you're done press on type [11:41] and type 83 [11:41] then write the changes and exit [11:42] done [11:42] I think its done? [11:42] yeah, type partprobe [11:42] then lsblk [11:42] Hi [11:43] done [11:43] shows that [11:43] ok [11:43] reboot now? [11:43] no [11:43] btw i think it was 30gb before, not 20-ish in case it makes a difference with you [11:44] np [11:44] ok, type e2fsck -f /dev/sdaX [11:44] replace X with the name you got from lsblk [11:45] says mounted cant continue [11:45] aborting [11:45] which name did you use? [11:45] unmount that [11:45] ? [11:46] no nothing is mounted i think [11:46] name was not just sda7 but somethingsda7 [11:47] does it requires full name [11:47] it's /dev/sda7 ? [11:47] if it's /dev/sda7 then e2fsck -f /dev/sda7 [11:47] it shouldn't be mounted in lsblk [11:47] says mounted [11:47] the stuff to the far right are any mountpoints [11:49] if you type lsblk, it shows Mountpoint "part /home" [11:49] for sda7 [11:49] hmm [11:49] ok type umount /home [11:49] done [11:49] try the command again [11:49] done [11:50] now done?

[11:55] bobby_: this channel is for ubuntu questions [11:55] bobby_, tiPp: read the topic of the channel, this is ubuntu support [11:56] Android_: you dont what? [11:56] Here that's speak about ubuntu, like lotuspsychje tell you bobby_ [11:56] okey [11:56] resize [11:56] i dont understand why it woudl need something else than vt100... maybe you coudl trick it with something like export TERM=xterm into thinking it does not run under vt100? [11:56] i got it [11:56] Android_: home will still be 30gb as it was [11:57] Android_: type blkid [11:57] Android_: you need to remove the line for the extra swap you had since it's deleted now [11:57] you need to remove it from /etc/fstab [11:57] i have some tech problem while doing programming in arduino Uo [11:57] Howdy folks [11:58] Sorry got disconnect but saying that is it really required to resize e2fs [11:58] ##programming bobby_ [11:58] ?? [11:58] Android: type "blkid" [11:58] done [11:58] okey i got solution [11:59] Android: ok, there should be a line that says type=swap [11:59] ya [11:59] Android: that uuid is for the swap, you need to type nano /etc/fstab [11:59] and put a "#" before the line pertaining to swap that ISN'T that uuid === yin is now known as Guest81940 [11:59] done [11:59] hi [11:59] done what [12:00] i find that i cannot install matlab to xubuntu 16.04 [12:00] de-facto: yeah, it's odd :/ [12:00] any one can help me ?

[12:03] ya thats one hete [12:03] *here' [12:04] if sda5 is the only one [12:04] is the support for ZFS on Ubuntu 16.04 production ready? [12:04] can i get matlab 32 bit any version plz [12:04] hellknight: yes [12:04] I'm thinking of deploying to one of our backup servers. [12:05] ducasse: that's great. [12:05] hellknight: fully supported. [12:05] hey that says swap was on sd8 [12:05] nano cmd [12:05] currently we have FreeBSD 10 installed on that server. Will move it to 16.04 as soon as our team agrees on it [12:06] bobby_, tutorial: https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-download-and-install-MATLAB-on-Ubuntu-14-04 [12:06] where have you gone man? [12:06] ?? [12:06] ducasse: can you put your root fs on zfs? [12:06] our wikipage is down https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MATLAB === phil is now known as Guest64058 [12:06] akik: I think that we need to create a separate /boot for that. I may be wrong [12:06] akik: not out of the box. [12:06] Android what exactly was the error you got or your resize2fs command? [12:07] ducasse: ok so it's not as fully supported that i'd wish [12:07] akik: it's not supported in the installer, no. [12:07] Android: ok, so sda5 is swap [12:07] Android: type blkid /dev/sda5 [12:07] donew [12:08] get the uuid, and type nano /etc/fstab and put a "#" before the line that has swap in it and doesn't have that uuid [12:09] none as such but ya it shows one swap on sda8 [12:09] OerHeks thanks man [12:09] Sense ambiguous [12:10] put a #? [12:10] OerHeks_i will check it out [12:10] Android: i just tried it on a usb i have, creating a smaller partition, making it bigger, and running resize2fs from tty1 logged in as root and it worked [12:10] so it's kind of odd [12:10] 16.04 here as well [12:10] OerHeks_, i will check it out [12:11] bobby_, i remember 32-bit is the only version available to students, but maybe it is available now [12:11] I see sda8. Now that's odd [12:11] nothing on google that's remotely similar either [12:11] Deleted sda8 then how possible? [12:11] could someone give me a hand with my sftp configuration ? [12:11] Android: in /etc/fstab are there 2 swap entries? [12:12] yeaahhhhhh [12:12] Now? [12:12] Android: ok, the one that doesn't have the uuid you saw for sda5 [12:12] put a "#" before it [12:12] then press ctrl+o to save [12:12] OerHeks_, what i got to know is 32 bit still bugs are running [12:12] both swaps have a uuid === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [12:13] lol [12:13] Is it odd? [12:13] UUID is for what> [12:13] ?? [12:13] purpose I mean. [12:14] Android: it is a unique identifying number to correspond to a partition [12:14] Oh then that's amibuous.

[12:17] aaja bhai [12:17] Android: telling people to be quick is less likely to get you any help, everyone here is a volunteer [12:18] Android ,auronandace are u talking with me ? [12:18] Android: ok it's simple [12:18] the uuid is used to know which swap to use [12:19] the uuid that corresponds to /dev/sda5 's leave it [12:19] the other uuid, put a "#" before it so it's not used anymore [12:19] # before uuid sure? [12:19] yes [12:19] #uuid=37492874923 [12:20] Hi, there! I am having a hard time getting vnstat to change the day the month rotates; I already addressed the issue on the configuration file, but it is not working as intended [it continues to treat day 1 as the start of the month, when I want to set a different day]; Is anyone here with knowledge to share about this subject? [12:20] OerHeks: yes, I do have an actual question. :) i was gone, sorry for late answering... my question is just above that text... :) [12:20] not the uuid of /dev/sda5 which you got before, as i said [12:20] here it is: I am looking for some good ERP software which: *is opensource; *uses sql; *can do document management/tracking -> preferably, using the already in use samba server as storage (already have a directory/file structure for the files...); *has some web interface; *if possible, with email notification of users that they have new document to review/approve [12:20] done [12:20] Android: ok, press ctrl+o to save, then ctrl+x to exit [12:20] done [12:21] and type mount -a to test if the swap is being used right and /home is being mounted [12:21] try mount -a , then swapon -a [12:21] then type lsblk you should see a [SWAP] and /home under mountpoints [12:22] ya [12:22] can somebody be kind enough to send the first few letters of the /etc/shadow for root? === django1 is now known as django_ [12:23] Android: ok right now the /home has been extended as a partition but the filesystem is still just 30gb, so you need to use a live usb and run resize2fs /dev/sd.. on it to get full use of it [12:24] is that possible to set ubuntu background with feh? [12:24] Android: we'll disable the root account [12:24] EriC^^: by default there is no password for root it's just !

[12:28] Android: no, it's pretty much done, the partition is extended already and swap deleted etc. all you need to do is run resize2fs on it [12:28] ok sorry [12:28] Android: did you exit yet [12:28] no [12:28] ok [12:29] so still logged in as root? [12:29] Ya [12:29] try umount /home [12:29] done' [12:29] then resize2fs /dev/sd.. for home [12:29] and type the error you get word for word [12:29] howdy [12:30] So I have an ntfs hdd in my pc that I'd like to make ext4. I don't have enough room anywhere else for the data that's on the drive. How can I go about doing this? [12:30] resize: Can't set window size under VT100 emulation. [12:30] GnomeKris: any free space left on that drive itself? [12:30] Plenty [12:31] I could triplicate all the data and still have space [12:31] does that makes the error clear [12:31] ? [12:31] GnomeKris: then you can shrink the current partition on it and make a new partition then transfer the data from one to the other [12:31] Hello. I am having problem with using nested ssh session. what does it mean? I have a machine (A) that has ssh access to another machine (B) that has ssh access to another machine (C). I need machine A to perform an operation on C. I need to do it in a script. non interactively. can anyone advise? [12:31] Android: are you typing resize2fs or resize!? [12:32] That makes sense. I'll give it a shot.

[12:35] i have systemctl working [12:35] and there is a binary timedatectl [12:35] they are two very different commands for different purposes [12:36] k [12:36] ikonia: i need timedatectl working basically [12:37] source47: you're using a container, the time will probably be set from the host [12:37] what is it exactly you are trying to ? [12:37] ikonia: i am running 'timedatectl' [12:37] yes, I understand that [12:37] it works fine on a ubuntu 16.04 container [12:37] but why - what is your end goal [12:38] ahh 16.10 [12:38] 15.10 [12:38] sorry - I missed that [12:38] my end goal is to have it run on 15.10 [12:38] like it does everywhere else [12:38] are you basically trying to set the system time/date ? [12:39] wow mates good [12:39] i just need to run it. its part of a base install for an application stack. [12:39] so short answer, i need that running. [12:39] source47: you just run it then [12:39] it will error - but what do you care, if you just need to run it [12:39] then i get "Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory" [12:39] correct, but who cares, you just need to run it, that is a run and it will move on [12:40] ok, i need to run it *normally* [12:40] i care :-) [12:41] is dbus running ? [12:41] test [12:42] the command "bash" returns "/home/user/newfolder: no such file or directory" - how can I remove this directory from the bash listing? [12:43] look at your .bashrc and .bash_profile [12:43] nope. i cant find it running: ps -ef | grep dbus | grep -v grep [12:43] how can i run it? [12:43] source47: so there is your problem [12:43] test again [12:43] isnt it there on a default install of ubuntu 15.10 ? [12:43] source47: it's not just about 15.10 [12:43] the host also matters [12:44] how do u mean? [12:44] antonio_: please don't use this room for tests. This is the Ubuntu supoort channel [12:44] *support [12:44] ikonia: thanks .bashrc worked [12:44] source47: found a bug for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1477130 [12:44] Launchpad bug 1477130 in systemd (Ubuntu) "timedatectl fails inside container" [Undecided,Fix released] [12:45] ikonia: thanks. i saw that alraedy [12:48] ok nm. it works. had to apt-get install dbus for some reason === abhishek_ is now known as Guest30352 === sleeptime is now known as uptime [12:54] I was unaware that it would take forever and a day to resize an ntfs partition... [12:59] GnomeKris: the bigger they are and the more data on it the longer it will take [13:00] auronandace, I guessed as much. It's a 360ish gb hdd with about 140gb data [13:00] all steam games [13:03] So, with 14.04, can I cycle through workspaces from 1>2>3>1>2 or back like 3>2>1>3>2, using the ctrl+alt+arrow keys? Because so far, it stops at either end, and I'd rather just keep rolling through. [13:03] I have an xsession error "/usr/sbin/lightdm-session: 29: .: Can't open /home/g/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" - how can I fix this without installing torch? [13:03] GnomeKris, hold the windows key for shortkeys [13:04] goof: make the file ? [13:04] ikonia: the directory exists [13:04] goof: it'a file [13:04] it's trying to open the file [13:05] OerHeks, I'm not sure what you mean, but I've just tried a few different things with the windows key, none of which produced the results I am looking for. [13:05] ikonia: how can I make that? [13:05] it's a file [13:05] just touch it [13:06] although why won't you use torch ? [13:06] GnomeKris, i read 'ctrl + alt + arrow keys' to move beween them [13:06] and keeps rolling, there is no such option [13:07] There needs to be that option, for those of us who use static workspaces. [13:07] I only ever need three at max. So I turn it to static, and would like to be able to just cycle through in a continuous loop... [13:08] mronin, peeps [13:08] *moan* I have computer headaches again [13:09] GnomeKris, i think you need to write a script yourself with xdotool or wmctrl > http://askubuntu.com/questions/377901/auto-switch-workspaces [13:09] What does the .d stand for? For example in init.d [13:09] I was ytping a message into IRC yesterday morning, and my keyboard and mouse just died. I finally figured out thaat the 5V fuse for my rear USB ports mush have blown, because now that I'm plugged into thefront USB ports, thiungs light up and work [13:10] Optiprism, deamon [13:10] Oh I see [13:10] If I could, I would. I have no idea where to even begin with that. Thanks though OerHeks. [13:10] GnomeKris, there are 2 examples, edit them to your situation? [13:11] I'm looking at them now. I may be able to do something with them, with enough time and research. haha [13:12] in any case, I tried to boot into 16.04 Live-DVD mode, and kept getting this weird error message: mumMR not foudn error reading hd0 and then it would dump me into a grub prompt. After hitting reset 4 or 5 times, it successfully started a cli sesseion which allowed me to get into Liive-DVD, so here I am wondering what happened? [13:13] Are there known problems with the desktop 16.04 iso, or is this something unique to me? [13:13] curlyears: how old is this computer your trying to use? sounds like you got hardware issues === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [13:14] auronandace: I built it fromo brand new parts purc hased at tigerdirect in august. worked just fine until late December, when all this trouvble started [13:15] it's an 8 core FX8300 AMD64 processor chip, 24GB RAM, 3.4TB HDD, and a BluRay rewritable === edavis_ is now known as edavis [13:16] snd just for the information of it, no, the 16.04 iso is not written on a BlueRay disc, it's written on a normal DVD rewritable [13:17] curlyears: wow, that is a beefy system. sometimes using brand new hardware like that you'll need to wait till the support for drivers and such make it though to the kernel development [13:18] auronandace: yeah, but for example the Gigabyte tech informed me when I was seeking tech support for my MB that this MB is an older model, no longer sold. [13:19] the latest update for the BIOS flash firmware is dated mi-2013 [13:19] curlyears: an older model motherboard that supports 24gb of ram? that doesn't quite add up to me [13:19] 3013 isn't THAAT old [13:19] 2013 [13:20] i agree [13:20] in any case networking and video seem to be stable under 16.04 (so far) so that's good news [13:21] I have this much "beef" because I am going to be doing a .lot of 3D CAD in supporrt of my 3D printer [13:22] i, Is a NVMe SSD bottlenecked with a 16 PCI-E lanes CPU ? [13:22] curlyears: you mentioned that you thought usb connectors were non-working. maybe you should investigate that further? [13:22] hi [13:23] i'm not being able to watch youtube videos in ubuntu 16.04. does anybody know why this could happen ? [13:23] tapacenbal, that is more a question for #hardware [13:24] cannot talk there [13:24] amundsen, did you install restricted extras for codecs and flash and such? [13:24] \akik: like I said, neither kb nor mouse light up or work when plugged into rear panel USB ports. When I plug them into the front panel USB ports, the light up and work. NOTE: this failure, whatever it is, happened while I was running and typing [13:24] !register | tapacenbal [13:24] tapacenbal: Information about registering your nickname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat/Registration - Type « /nick » to select your nickname. Registration help available by typing /join #freenode [13:24] some channels needs registering your name [13:24] ok thanks [13:25] curlyears: try inserting an usb stick into the rear ports and check kernel log (dmesg) if there's a problem [13:25] hi, i'm trying ubuntu 16.04 on a machine with an rtl8192se (version B, i think) wireless card. connection with my AP is established, dns/gateway/etc. is set correctly, a correct ip is assigned (dhcp works), but i cannot ping the AP, nor anything but localhost ... i've been using 14.04 before (and other distros), all kernel 3.x - no problem at all with those. [13:25] OerHeks, yes i did [13:25] any idea what might be wrong? [13:26] issues with linux 4.x maybe? [13:26] I just installed unity-tweak-tool and gnome-tweak-tool via sudo apt-get install, and neither one shows up in my dash? It did prompt me to switch display managers during the install, is that the problem? Because I'm still using GDM, should I have switched to LightDM? [13:27] beginner_: why do you think it's a kernel problem ? [13:27] there is nothing in what you've sasid that even suggests the kernel [13:27] hmm... when I plug a USB stick in there, it shows up on my launch bar [13:28] strange. I am booted under 16.04 Live-Dvd, but a uname -a shows its is runnung under 14.04 [13:28] curlyears: explain [13:29] ikonia: explain what, exactly? [13:29] how you think it's 14.04 from uname -a [13:32] ikonia: output from uname -a: Linux ubuntu 4.2.0-27-generic #32~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 22 15:32:26 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [13:32] ikonia: wildly guessing, since this is the first 4.x kernel i've run on the machine. as i said, all the older distros had no problems and they were all 3.x [13:33] Do I have to switch to LightDM in order to use unity tweak tool? [13:33] curlyears: that's 16.05 [13:33] 04 [13:33] beginner_: so wild guessing isn't helpful - if you don't know, don't guess, just ask [13:34] beginner_: it's more likley icmp is being blocked at a firewall [13:34] then why this string: 14.04.1-Ubuntu [13:34] curlyears: the 14.04 in that doesn't have anything to do with the release you're currently running. its just a version identifier for the kernel build itself. (also 14.04 didn't ship with a 4.2.x kernel) [13:34] hi, how can I list packages that doesn't get security updates? [13:34] curlyears: build host [13:34] somewhat misleading, to say the least [13:35] OK, so I was mistaken on that. My USB issue remains valid [13:35] ikonia: shouldn't that affect others machines, too? no problems so far, multiple devices, multiple OSes, everything works fine. also, no router config changes at all. and no firewall set up whatsoever. [13:35] I mean, it's fairly obvious how I made the mistaken identity [13:36] beginner_: not if the fireall is local to the box you're running it on [13:36] curlyears: not missleading in the slightest [13:37] curlyears: if you don't know how to read the output of command - don't use the defailts of the output [13:37] ikonia: if ypu say so [13:37] nnow, about this USB problem: #hardware? [13:37] When installing Ubuntu, is it NOT recommended to install third-party software for graphis and wi-fi hardware, flash, mp3, and other media? [13:37] curlyears: well, you don't know how to read the output - and you made assumptions without checking, so dont' use data y ou don't understand [13:37] graphics* [13:38] can someone exlain how Snap packages work [13:38] ikonia: yes, as you say. [13:39] ikonia: (a) just tried another distro, also with very recent kernel/drivers -> exactly the same issue. (b) running them all as live systems from an usb stick, no changes made by me. so shouldn't be a local fw (?) [13:39] in my brain, it works like this: Application X needs library Y v3.5, Application Z also requires library Y, but v3.6, Application A needs library Y - therefore it installs Applications A X and Z, and both Library Y v3.5 and 3.6? [13:39] tinyhippo: yes, but within a container. [13:39] beginner_: live sticks have firewalls [13:39] tinyhippo: er. I mean each snap package installs all of its dependencies in a container. [13:40] off to #hardware for a while [13:40] ikonia: seems badly configured if i cannot access any network resources at all (like the internet)? also, never had problems with previous live versions ... strange. how to disable it (ubuntu 16.04)? [13:40] beginner_: ping is not "cannot access network resoruces" [13:41] what the problem with you ? beginner [13:41] beginner_: what network resources can you not access ? [13:41] ikonia: well ping is one thing i've tried. basically every application trying to access the network fails. cannot pingn othe [13:41] ... sorry [13:41] Hello! I am thinking of installing elementary. Where should I go? [13:42] beginner_: so thats very doubtful [13:42] ikonia: cannot reach/ping other machines, network shares, etc. pp. [13:42] Since this chat only supports its official flavours. [13:42] RealPanV: elementrary website shows all the support details [13:42] Oh thanks! [13:42] beginner_: so it's more likley you're not on the network [13:42] @Real: You should try [13:42] How could I forget that === MrXXIV_ is now known as MrXXIV [13:42] ikonia: BUT as i said gateway/dns/etc is correctly set to the router's ip. i've got a nice, valid dhcp-assigned ip as well. [13:43] Pici: so you end up with duplicates? === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [13:43] ikonia: also the network manager (and ifconfig/iwconfig) say i'm connected === Malsasa_ is now known as Malsasa [13:43] tinyhippo: yes. [13:43] beginner_: so look at your connection details [13:44] tinyhippo: as least insofar as I understand it. #snappy has more details. [13:44] ikonia: at what specifically? [13:44] SDR RECEIVER ? UPDATE USEING GNU [13:45] This will be a noob-y question but I am trying to install Ubuntu on a specific partition, on an external hard drive. But whenever I try it, it says that this partition isn't root or a similar message that I cannot provide (official Ubuntu). Should I flag the partition as root first? [13:46] `apt-get update` is complaining about how Pinta doesn't have GPG... I think? [13:47] Why can't I enable canonical partners in software&updates? [13:47] beginner_: your ip, your netmask, your gateway, yor dns [13:47] can someone help me remove all my nvidia drivers? [13:47] beginner_: also check that the default route is correctly set. [13:48] ls [13:48] phillyj: You dont want any other drivers right? [13:49] Anybody use weechat? [13:50] can someone tell me what ubuntu version is most user friendly [13:50] Hello! Can someone please help me out with fixing this issue, i can't google a solution for it http://pastebin.com/2DiVUrQ2 [13:50] phillyj, go into the driver tool, and select nouveau, then run sudo apt-get autoclean or autoremove in terminal [13:50] gargamel, hey [13:50] ikonia, ducasse: everything looks very fine, checked multiple times before asking here ... (checked again few seconds ago :D) [13:50] pmatulis, morning [13:50] beginner_: what is your current machine ip [13:51] trying to ubuntu on vm and select download update while installing but it doesn't have internet for some reason. [13:51] exit [13:51] gargamel, morning [13:52] heya [13:53] ikonia: 192.168.0.101 (according to ifconfig, seemingly assigned via dhcp). router is 192.168.0.1, every other machine 192.168.0.10x. default route and dns is set to 192.168.0.1. netmask 255.255.255.0 [13:53] is there anyone here that is confident with cloud-init ? [13:53] BrAsS_mOnKeY: I believe you need to do something in the VM settings, I think you can't use the same network card at the same time with your normal OS and the VM if I am correct. [13:53] beginner_: and what is the exact command you are using [13:53] I have to use VMs for a long time so I cant provide anything more [13:53] I'm facing a strange issue when it tries to setup ssh and complain the user doesn't exist while it is supposed to create it [13:54] Hello! Can someone please help me out with fixing this issue, i can't google a solution for it http://pastebin.com/2DiVUrQ2 [13:54] pmatulis, ha [13:54] Thank you RealPanV. [13:55] beginner_, some strange connection issues can be solved by restarting the router, have you tried that? [13:56] OerHeks: no way, connection is needed by other machines on the network. (and works 100% fine for them ...) [13:56] beginner_: and what is the exact command you are using [13:56] BrAsS_mOnKeY: Did I actually help? My pleasure. === ShaRose_ is now known as ShaRose [13:58] ikonia: network manager gui "connection information" thingy. ifconfig, iwconfig, etc. all say the same [13:59] beginner_: the exact ping command [14:00] So if my laptop has been suspended, and then opened again, putting in the charger makes it dog slow [14:01] like, really really slow [14:01] a restart fixes it, but I [14:01] But I'd prefer a more permanent fix :/ [14:01] any tips? [14:01] ikonia: well ... "ping 192.168.0.1", "ping www.google.com", "ping 192.168.0.10x" (other machine's IP, network storage etc., reachable from the network) [14:02] ikonia: i can also just open firefox -> cannot reach *anything*. no matter which host name or ip, which port, protocol, etc. [14:02] Dumle29: leave top running and see what's eating the cpu? (I suspect I know the answer - either the kswapd process or one of the idleinject ones) [14:03] Created my new ext4 partition, now trying to copy/paste from the ntfs to ext4, I can't paste. The option is grayed out in gui [14:03] beginner_: so that suggests you're not on the network [14:03] GnomeKris: gparted doens't work like that. you can copy like-for-like partitions [14:04] GnomeKris: or you could use a tool like rsync or cp to do a file based copy [14:04] GnomeKris: but if you use parted, it will expect target to be the same as source. [14:04] I'm just using the files application gui [14:04] popey: A onedrive daemon [14:04] ikonia: yes .... that is my problem. the connection is there, connection setup (dhcp, gateway, etc. etc.) seems to work fine, connection seems steady after that, but i cannot reach anything on the network ... [14:04] cp would probably work best though huh? [14:04] popey: But only rarel [14:04] rarely [14:05] ikonia: seems the same problem (same symptoms at least) have occurred some times before (found some posts from 2010 and 2013 - they all said to upgrade kernel/driver, haha ...). [14:05] beginner_: is this a wireless network ? [14:05] popey: Maybe some sort of weird powersaving state glitch? [14:05] like "cp -r source/directory/* /destination/directory" [14:05] or so? [14:05] GnomeKris: I'd use cp -a [14:05] -a is archive though? [14:06] ikonia: yeah. [14:06] I want recursive and to retain permissions [14:06] beginner_: so thats the first thing I'd be looking at is verifying if you are actually on that wireles network still [14:06] a simple test is to re-request a new ip from dhclient [14:06] GnomeKris: yes, read the man page [14:06] I'll be taking ownership and creating a permanent mount point for the new partition when I'm done. [14:07] I did, that's why I'm asking. I should rephrase...Why archive? [14:07] how can i install xml parser and mb string in ubuntu 16.04 ? [14:07] GnomeKris: look at the very next line [14:08] --attributes-only? [14:08] -a, --archive [14:08] same as -dR --preserve=all [14:08] pmatulis, bro :) [14:08] ah [14:08] ^ the next line [14:09] I missed that some how [14:09] yes, I know :) [14:09] I plan on wiping out the ntfs partition entirely. -a will accomplish what I'm after without loss of data? [14:10] ikonia: you think i'm very stupid, don't you. well i cannot blame you but in fact, everything seems in place, even the wireless network i'm (allegedly) connected to. (network name, AP's mac address/bssid, ...) [14:10] ikonia: just ran "dhclient -r wlp7s0" and "dhclient wlp7s0", got the same ip again. [14:10] GnomeKris: if you copy everything, sure [14:11] I plan to use a wildcard copy. like "cp -a /source/directory/* /dest/directory/" [14:11] popey^^ [14:11] beginner_: I never said you where stupid at all [14:11] beginner_: what are you talking about [14:13] GnomeKris: I'd just cp -a source/directory /dest/directory [14:13] GnomeKris: so you pick up hidden files in the source [14:13] ikonia: i know. you just talk to me like most people talk to rather unknowledgable /unintelligent or plainly stupid people. as i said, cannot blame you, since what i'm telling seems dumb. but hey i cannot explain it either, hence why i came here :D [14:13] No wildcard needed then? [14:13] beginner_: I'm not going to engage with your futher, I've been nothing but polite and given you debug / walk through advice to work out the problem [14:13] and it'll copy recursive directories?\ [14:14] GnomeKris: depends what's in the folder. try it and see [14:14] how can i install xml parser and mb string in ubuntu 16.04 ? I did apt-get install php-xmlrpc but it still not working.. do i have to change anything in the php.ini ? [14:14] paws: php-xml-parser isn't it? [14:14] true, it's copy, not cut, so it's not like the source is going anywhere yet. [14:14] excuse me, it's copy, not move. [14:15] paws: also php-mbstring [14:16] i did that popey [14:16] ohhh php-xml-parser i see [14:17] lol === prince is now known as \me [14:17] ikonia: i tried to be polite, too. thanks anyways, have a nice day. :-) === \me is now known as prince [14:18] what about php ZIP support? what do i need for that? [14:18] paws: php-zip [14:18] paws: apt-cache search php | grep zip [14:18] beginner_: can you list "ip addr list" and "ip route list" in a pastebin? [14:19] i know it can be hard without network :) [14:21] OK, those guys in #hardware definitely knnow their stuff, but their suggestions re: my problem were pretty lame [14:22] akik: sorry doing that "setting up an old laptop" on the side, no time for usb-stick-copy-paste-carrying-stuff" :-( [14:22] maybe later or tomorrow, gotta get some work done [14:22] If I set the permission of files on a network drive, does Windows see those permissions? [14:27] hi [14:28] none of my shortcut keys work [14:29] using ubuntu mate [14:29] How do i connect to a wireless accesspoint in ubuntu using the command line? [14:30] https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/wireless/wireless-cli.md SETTING WIFI UP VIA THE COMMAND LINE [14:30] http://askubuntu.com/questions/461825/connect-to-wifi-from-command-line [14:30] connect to wifi from command line ^ [14:30] Windoes and linux use entirely different file permisssions protocols, but if the user the networkl shares through ghas permissions to files, then the Windows user can usse them. If not, they're protected from the Windows user (IIRC) [14:31] nomic: did you know there is a #raspberrypi channel? [14:31] !who | curlyears [14:31] curlyears: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [14:32] I want to remove my old 14.4 installation on my SSD boot drive (file system) and install 16.04. I have USB live-install ready. Do I just run the live-USB so that I can start from scratch? [14:32] phillyj: do you need anything from your old installation? [14:33] i have my /home on another HDD, EriC^^ [14:33] good point, lotuspsychjelot: are you aware of any "filter driver" sorts of things under ubuntu that would correctly use the USB ports on tyhe front panel, but not correctly use the USB ports on the rear panel? [14:33] oh [14:33] phillyj: ok, you can get the list of installed programs if you want and auto reinstall them later [14:33] can't join automatically curlyear [14:34] EriC^^: so I can just run my live-USB and it will show me what to do, right? [14:34] nomic: what do you mean? [14:34] phillyj: do you want to keep them? [14:35] EriC^^: no [14:35] i kno, curlyears [14:35] that there is a raspberry pi channel [14:35] phillyj: ok, just run the live usb and choose to erase the disk and fresh install if just 1 hdd is in there, or manually partition [14:35] nomic: n what do you mean by "can't join automatically?" [14:35] from the Something else menu [14:36] my ctrl and alt keys are mapped to shift for some reason [14:36] how can i fix this [14:38] cannibal, what did you do to map them to shift? [14:39] hello [14:39] I just received my brand new Dell XPS13 with Ubuntu [14:40] I like to upgrade it from 14.04 to 16.04.. according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes that should be almost automatic when I enable notifications for new LTS versions, but update manager tells me there are no updates [14:40] I guess that notification will only come for 16.04.1? [14:40] !ltsupgrade | t1mp [14:40] t1mp: Users of 14.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 16.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for July 21st. [14:41] oer [14:41] so if I want it now, I have to upgrade to 15.10 first? [14:41] OerHeks, nothing [14:41] and then to 16.04? [14:41] t1mp: clean install [14:41] OerHeks, if i try to change shutdown shortcut to ctrl alt del it sees the keys as shift + del [14:42] lotuspsychje: why? Is it likely to break if I upgrade to 15.10 (which the software updater offers), and then to 16.04? [14:42] I finally have a laptop with ubuntu pre-installed and now I have to do a clean install [14:42] t1mp: not very recommended to go from lts to non-lts liek that [14:43] t1mp: have you made a backup of it? it could have some custom dell installed software in it [14:43] t1mp: wait the LTS way on 16.04.1 perhaps [14:43] Is there a package manager for ubuntu? [14:43] akik: I didn't make a backup, but there are some dell packages and ppas installed [14:43] t1mp: 14.04 is supported until 2019 btw === john is now known as Guest248 === Ahti_ is now known as Ahti [14:44] kiran_: apt, and there are graphical tools too [14:44] I've recently installed 16.04lts.

[14:44] akik: yeah, but I need 16.04, for ubuntu phone development and I like to play with lxd [14:44] I am in NAS [14:44] Can I claim ownership of a new partition with "sudo chown -R kristopher:kristopher /media/partion/" [14:44] or so?

[14:46] yes [14:46] Hulio: go to settings > accounts [14:47] and turn automatic login on [14:47] polyxena: stick it to persisent on your launcher then? [14:47] lotuspsychje: will try it [14:48] GnomeKris: yes that works fine [14:48] thanks dude [14:48] polyxena: does xpad show in /usr/share/applications ? [14:48] Hulio: no problem [14:48] GnomeKris: there's probably your username in between media and the partition [14:48] lotuspsychje: worked. thanks.

But I prefer not to wait until the automatic upgrade in july :) [14:54] t1mp: that was the warning [14:54] can "search your computer" display programs as list and not icons?

Is there a reason why service still works though, for example for Apache? [15:33] tjvc: can you see /etc/init.d/apache on your system? [15:34] akik: Yes. [15:34] tjvc: ok so service is reading that file [15:35] i finished installing 16.04 but I want to use my old /home that is on my other HDD. How do I move it? [15:35] Some of the service scripts may still be present in the directory structure so that service will read them use them, but thn again with systemd, that should not be the default method of dealing with services [15:35] so akik I agree with you ...

Looks like systemd is backwards compatible with SysV init scripts, which I guess explains why systemctl also works. [15:39] lotuspsychje: i have my old files on my other HDD (/home). I just want to have my file system keep all those files and use that as the "new" /home [15:39] akik, I'll go to the grocery to buy a toothpick :) [15:40] !love | lotuspsychje [15:40] R0binh00d: sorry im already taken :p [15:41] :P [15:42] I want to install a minimal ubuntu on a working machine at home, so I choose to take the ubuntu server image. My cpu supports 64bit (intel core i5), but I can only find amd64 images, do they also work?

The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:43] somsip: is there an advantage of this over the server image? [15:43] firman: can you tell me when 15.10 started to freeze? [15:43] fub: depends how minimal you want it to be [15:43] It's not because of the size, I just dont want a GUI etc installed by default [15:43] somsip: I want to install only what I need [15:44] !mini [15:44] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:45] fub: that's what the minimal install offers [15:45] somsip: so what the difference to the server version? [15:45] fub: server installs some server packages AIUI [15:45] its random, but ussualy when i runing firefox too long [15:46] fub, for starter, it's a net install [15:46] when watching livestreaming, youtube, vlc, document viewer, lotuspsychje [15:46] firman: did it always was like this? or did you have better times on 15.10? [15:47] all right, then I hope it detects my wlan adapter, it's an Alfa AWUS30H so it can pull packages. [15:47] is there any way to check this before? [15:47] fub: mini is pretty advanced, you might encouter unwanted stuff [15:47] fub: not sure - never used minimal with wifi. I'd suggest care should be taken [15:47] lotuspsychje: unwanted stuff? :D [15:48] its was happens from i install it. never change, but many issue such freeze when lid off can solved by google, lotuspsychje, i think its because my computer is not on verified list in ubuntu device [15:48] fub: like installing needed network packages etc [15:48] sorry for english :) [15:49] lotuspsychje: as long as there is a module for my wlan adapter I'm fine with this [15:49] firman: perhaps install a lighter ubuntu flavor, or buy a 16.04 usb stick from ubuntu's website (if you have slow internet) [15:49] fub, it gives you the choice to manual configure your adapter , if not happen automatically , as you said the problem could be the module [15:50] okay, thx, ill try your advice lotuspsychje === alex___ is now known as cebalrai [15:50] fub: possiblilty is to install to a VM first to check [15:50] fub: a good idea could be putting some drivers on usb already for your specific chipset?

[15:51] I will try it [15:51] firman: 15.10 is gonna end support on the near future, so best to choose another version [15:52] okay, i got it, lotuspsychje [15:52] fub: another way is installing a regular ubuntu flavor, and stripping it down to you needs as you wish (purge) [15:52] hi guys, i am running ubuntu 15.10 in a lxc container and i am getting problems running localed: systemd-localed.service: Failed at step NETWORK spawning permission denied [15:53] the above comes from journalctl [15:53] generally localectl status just hangs then times out [15:53] any ideas what i can do allow permission for network spawning?

[15:55] firman: well for your case, clean install as upgrade needs faster connection [15:56] firman: let the 16.04 download finish and burn the iso on stick, then clean install [15:56] okay... :D lotuspsychje [15:57] firman: how fast is your 'slow' connection exactly? === MacroMan is now known as MacroMan_away [15:58] hi all [15:58] jak2000: welcome, how can we assist you?

[16:04] do* [16:05] fub: thats the unwanted stuff i meant :p [16:05] tty2, i mean [16:05] testing koneksi [16:05] hehe okay [16:05] then I'm going to use the server install [16:05] does this have the wireless stuff? [16:05] fub: server install should handle network better yes [16:05] fub, mmm, you need a cable connection, then [16:06] fub: but ask yourself first, do you really need ubuntu server? [16:06] lotuspsychje: I dont want to install all the GUI stuff. I want to install i3 later [16:07] so I think the server install is cleaner, isnt it? [16:07] fub: why dont you strip down a xubuntu or so, purge all unwanted stuff and set i3 to autologin? [16:07] #join ubuntu-cn [16:07] fub: xubuntu or lubuntu are pretty light by default [16:07] lotuspsychje: mhh [16:07] fub: installing i3 on a server sounds a bit weird... [16:08] lotuspsychje: yeah this is not going to be a server :> [16:08] fub: thats what i mean.. [16:08] %c [16:08] fub: if you want a really minimal install and don't mind a little manual work, you can use debootstrap. [16:08] somsip: how to know where is installed java? thanks [16:08] fub: the correct (but tricky) way would be to use minimal. The easier (but messier) way would be to strip down from a simple install. To use server install on a desktop is wrong each way [16:08] #join help [16:08] hi [16:08] AME [16:09] So when I take the desktop version and strip it down. How do I know what to strip down? === phrea is now known as FireBeard [16:09] fub: unwanted packages of your choice [16:09] jak2000: 'whereis java' will tell you where it is installed but might not be what you need [16:09] I dont know all that additional stuff ubuntu adds for the desktop [16:09] lotuspsychje: so then I have to go through dpkg for every single package?

[16:09] braycep, /j # [16:09] #join ubuntu-cn [16:09] fub: sudo apt-get purge package1 package2 package3 [16:10] fub: pretty fast :p [16:10] fub: you could download the manifest for the server and manifest for the desktop and run a quick comparison [16:10] braycep, /join #ubuntu-cn [16:10] lotuspsychje: I know, I know. But I first have to find out what to strip. [16:10] squinty,thank you very much [16:10] fub: if you install from the desktop image, you can remove the desktop stuff and other tasks with tasksel. [16:10] fub: on a xubuntu or lubuntu its all minimal already [16:10] braycep, yw [16:11] fub: if you want more strip down, erase more... [16:11] all right, going for lubuntu then. thanks. [16:11] fub: then purge all gui stuff you dont gonna use, abiword,.. [16:12] abiword? [16:12] i thought the server image and desktop image were pretty much the same just without the desktop?

[16:42] someone235: update your system asap first [16:42] someone235: let's make it still clearer, from your ubuntu to your cell phone? [16:42] akik, yes === mypapit_rulz is now known as mypapit [16:45] someone235: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [16:57] hello friends and foes [16:57] Is ubuntu's default terminal (i think it's gnome?) capable of running 24bit color right off the bat? [16:59] anom, see terminal > edit > profile pref > colours, it is set to system theme, and you can change that there [16:59] not sure it is 24 bit colour.. [17:00] 24bit is the same as 256 right? [17:00] I'm just wanting to know, because I'm trying to get a vim color scheme to work correctly. (running vim through terminal) [17:01] 8 bit is 256 colours [17:01] eek [17:02] 2^8 [17:02] 24 bit = 256 shades of red, green, and blue, for a total of 16,777,216 color variations [17:03] i go to ubuntu software and search for wireshark but it is not there [17:03] should i just manually install? [17:03] !info wireshark [17:04] wireshark (source: wireshark): network traffic analyzer - meta-package. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.2+ga16e22e-1 (xenial), package size 5 kB, installed size 57 kB [17:04] BrAsS_mOnKeY in a terminal: sudo apt install wireshark [17:04] it is in universe, enable it in sources [17:04] not sure how to enable, OerHeks. [17:04] thanks MonkeyDust :) [17:04] type sources in dash, and updtes & sources tool shows up [17:05] When I run tput colors in temrinal i get 256 [17:06] so I assume this should work [17:06] hi guys [17:06] is using su temporarily and then switching back to normal user, the same as using sudo? is it equivalent.? [17:08] !sudo | nicolekidman [17:08] nicolekidman: 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 [17:08] how do i pull up dash? [17:08] lotuspsychje: i know all that [17:09] what i am sking is ,is it as secure? temporary su and then exit. [17:09] nicolekidman su means switch user, not super user [17:09] nicolekidman: yes it's secure [17:09] lotuspsychje: cant get my head around of how I change to i3 in lubuntu.. [17:09] fub: after installing i3 logout, and login to i3 [17:10] lotuspsychje: there is no way to select the window manager when logging in [17:10] su means root user. or substitute user as root. [17:10] fub: there is also an #i3 channel if you like [17:10] lotuspsychje: yeah but I dont think thats i3 related [17:10] is it equivalent? [17:10] nicolekidman: you'll get a root shell from sudo su - [17:11] i know [17:11] BrAsS_mOnKeY: click on the start button (ubuntu logo) [17:11] nicolekidman: if you run with sudo, you'll run that one command with root access and then come back to your normal account [17:11] i am asking is it equivalent to use temp root, and exit= use of sudo. i.e. is using root temporarily=using user account with sudo?? [17:11] BrAsS_mOnKeY: you can pull up dash by going into the terminal and typing 'dash'. what you're using now is bash [17:12] nicolekidman, yes, exit gets you out of su, but we suggest sudo, not to use su [17:12] nicolekidman better use sudo, not su [17:12] nicolekidman: if you need to run successive commands as root, getting a root shell is easier [17:14] BrAsS_mOnKeY: if dash needs to be permenent, use 'which dash' to find the locatin of dash and then use 'chsh -s /path/to/dash' [17:14] lotuspsychje: I think it's lightdm what is running there. [17:14] But it will not show me an option when logging in to select i3 [17:15] fub: ask the #i3 channel, theu used to this === Zzyzx is now known as THX1138 [17:16] nicolekidman, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo#Misconceptions [17:16] thanks wymillerlinux [17:16] BrAsS_mOnKeY struggling again? did you reinstall ubuntu as vm? [17:17] no problem BrAsS_mOnKeY [17:17] MonkeyDust, yes, reinstalled. [17:17] but i am still trying to find sources [17:18] BrAsS_mOnKeY use a light DE, not unity, in virtualbox... use xfce or lxde [17:19] EriC^^ i write at the end of .profile file: [17:19] fub: wild guess: press the small ubuntu logo in the login box [17:19] Tegu: I just found it. It was a button hiding in the edge of the screen [17:19] MonkeyDust, OerHeks said that i had to enable sources to see app wireshark in ubuntu software. [17:19] fub: okay, good. I wonder why it's so hidden [17:20] but i went to bash (windows key) typed sources but there wasnt a source option.. it was ubuntu software and software and updates. [17:20] BrAsS_mOnKeY ok, did you enable Universe' and reload? [17:20] i don't see universe [17:20] or it actually depends on the lightdm theme in use [17:20] lotuspsychje, now it works [17:20] lotuspsychje, I'm not sure if it's related [17:21] BrAsS_mOnKeY: you can use 'sudo apt-get install wireshark' after you 'sudo apt-get update' instead of using the software center [17:21] BrAsS_mOnKeY is it installed, or a live version, in virtualbox? [17:21] someone235: did you update system? [17:21] MonkeyDust, installed. [17:21] s/version/session [17:21] lotuspsychje, yes [17:21] EriC^^ i write at the end of .profile file: export CONECTOR_HOME=/home/jak/conector i am ok? thanks [17:21] ok, then in WSources, find Universe, enable it [17:21] wymillerlinux, yes but still trying to familiarize myself with gui [17:21] someone235: always keep your system up to date :p [17:22] !usn | someone235 see the security risks here [17:22] someone235 see the security risks here: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. [17:22] lotuspsychje, it should do it automatically, I don't know why it wasn't up to date [17:22] someone235: you can set security updates automaticly [17:23] i dont see wsources [17:23] lotuspsychje, usually it prompt me a dialog to do it, [17:25] hi [17:25] Is there chance to do sub search in nss_base_passwd ? [17:25] Like when I want to check if user is memberof=XXX or member of subgroups of that group? [17:25] version 16.05 [17:25] 16.04 :P [17:25] nm [17:26] LostSoul start from the beginning, what are you doing and trying to achieve [17:27] MonkeyDust, how would i find univeral? [17:27] universe? [17:28] BrAsS_mOnKeY if you don't see it in the list, you're not in the correct window or doing something wrong [17:29] MonkeyDust: [17:29] i click the top left icon, then type sources and ubuntu software comes up with software and updates [17:29] So I'm trying to setup libnss/ldap login to server based on AD membership [17:30] BrAsS_mOnKeY ok, then click on the tab 'sources' [17:30] Problem is I can force it to allow login members that are member of X group or that are member of GROUPS that are member of thix X group [17:31] MonkeyDust, no tab [17:31] I'm only allowed when user is member of X group, but not when he is member of group that is member of that group [17:31] LostSoul is that a server? if yes, there's also #ubuntu-server [17:31] Yes [17:31] I tried but they are not as active as here [17:33] MonkeyDust, there is filter resuls on the right [17:33] BrAsS_mOnKeY make a screenshot of what you see and upload it here http://imgur.com/ [17:33] and then there is a sources section to the bottom [17:33] akik, OerHeks so now I'm connected to the access point, but I don't have access to the internet [17:33] "ping google.com" fails [17:34] i went to software update then enable source code and it downloaded something lol [17:34] heya [17:34] but didnt help so i unmarked it [17:35] server default is for peru [17:35] I always use main server as default [17:35] i will make a screen shot, MonkeyDust === niko is now known as Guest42538 [17:37] ciao a tutti [17:37] BrAsS_mOnKeY i wonder why you have to struggle so hard, twice [17:38] idk [17:38] source code of the univers repo ?? [17:38] why? [17:38] i'm struggling with the screen shot now [17:38] lol [17:38] print sc is not saving to the clipboard :D [17:38] How do I get updated ath10k drivers on Xenial? It apepars there are no Xenial-backports at the moment> [17:39] ? [17:39] OerHeks, trouble finding the universe [17:39] :) [17:39] enabling [17:40] i typed source from top left corner and it didnt bring up anything saying source. [17:40] alias_neo: why do you think they would be in backports? [17:40] BrAsS_mOnKeY, it is on the main page of softwaresources&updates... [17:40] BrAsS_mOnKeY the software source, not the source code! [17:40] MonkeyDust, i know now :) [17:40] OerHeks: maybe if you shared a screenshot of the page with it circled it would help. [17:40] Pici: Because the ones I'm after are from the yakkety kernel (4.6?) === afkthairus is now known as athairus [17:41] alias_neo: ah. Okay, just making sure that you understood what backports actually are. :) [17:41] I'm switching to ubuntu today, and the thing thats killing me most immediately is that on my mac, ive remapped caps lock to control when held, and escape when pressed (using Karabiner). How can i replicate this in ubuntu? [17:42] Pici: np, thanks for asking. [17:42] I get error messege when reloading in synaptic package manager. [17:42] its like i forgot how to use a keyboard completely :) [17:42] here is the message:W: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release.gpg: Signature by key 4CCA1EAF950CEE4AB83976DCA040830F7FAC5991 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1) [17:42] W: http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/dists/stable/Release.gpg: Signature by key 3B068FB4789ABE4AEFA3BB491397BC53640DB551 uses weak digest algorithm (SHA1) [17:42] OK, anyone know if the following SSD will work correctlyunder 14.04.4 and 216.04 Desktop? [17:43] rick6860: its a warning. You can ignore it. [17:43] Samsung 750 EVO 250GB Internal [17:43] Pici, not sure why it started. [17:43] rick6860: Ubuntu changed some defaults and google hasn't updated their repositories. [17:44] Pici, ok [17:44] I have this kios app that I need to have auto started when Ubuntu starts, but also, when this kios app get's upgrade by an apt-get update dist-upgrade (that is running in cron) it should also auto start the app when it's detect to no longer be running. What could I use for this? [17:44] Tigerdirect.com is offering the 250GB SSD from Samsung for $79.95. Not a bad price, it would certainly speed up certain operations on my system [17:45] someone235: can you ping your access point? can you ping 8.8.8.8? (google dns) [17:45] curlyears: nearly all ide/sata harddrives should work fine on linux. [17:45] MonkeyDust, http://imgur.com/aUOAZNc [17:45] \no comment son the SSD? I know some work, some don't work well under ubuntu (probably under all linuxs) [17:46] akik, sec, I'm joining the room from another PC [17:46] hi everyone. i just got a new isp and i am trying to do apt-get update but i get this error:Err http://de.archive.ubuntu.com trusty/main Translation-en_US [17:46] Unable to connect to de.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: 141.30.13.20 80] [17:46] . any idea? [17:46] woups, sorry for multi-line [17:47] styler2go: I'll point -mirrors at it, maybe a mirror is down? [17:47] BrAsS_mOnKeY, there you go, the 1st icon software & updates [17:47] ok then? [17:47] i didnt see universe there [17:47] teward, it is for all package links [17:47] BrAsS_mOnKeY, then on the main page, universe, 2nd line [17:47] if there are no backports, what's the easiest way to get kernel 4.6 running on Xenial? Will the Yakkety kernel work? [17:47] styler2go: yes, as I said, perhaps one of the mirrors in the rotation is down. [17:48] oh ok I ee it has universe in parathnesis [17:48] styler2go: that would affect *all* package links in *all* releases - "Unable to connect" indicates it may not be online - the only thing we can do is poke someone else on it [17:48] it was already checked, though. [17:48] Is the Princeton mirror new? [17:48] hy guys! [17:48] styler2go: the best thing I can suggest is point to a different mirror, say archive.ubuntu.com instead [17:48] i think it has something to do with the new isp. i don't have an ipv4 anymore, maybe i need to tell that linux? [17:48] styler2go: which is a different set of mirror IPs/locations [17:48] someone here using the terminal emulator "terminology"? [17:49] styler2go: I can reach fine, so can the mirrors team, do you have any proxies on your network, or firewalls in place, or filtering? [17:49] styler2go: then you need to pick a mirror that supports IPv6 [17:49] no firewalls or anything, but i have no ipv4 [17:49] akik, the ping to default gateway doesn't work too [17:49] styler2go: there's /etc/gai.conf in which you can set precedence of ipv4 and ipv6 [17:49] neither do 8.8.8.8 [17:49] styler2go: so you don't have IPv4? [17:49] styler2go: i wonder if you set the precedence to ipv6 could it start working [17:49] only some shared NAT IPv4 [17:50] should my server download default be peru or usa? [17:50] BrAsS_mOnKeY, hmm so your softwarecenter does not find wireshark .. i wonder if that is the same issue as not showing openjdk .. try installing it from terminal: sudo apt-get install .. [17:50] thanks OerHeks, ok. :) [17:50] styler2go: NAT IPv4 (shared) or not it should be working - can you reach ubuntu-master.mirror.tudos.de at all? [17:50] akik, what should i set in gai.conf? [17:50] (which is the underlying mirror that you're looking at) [17:50] i'll apt0-get update [17:50] styler2go: uncomment the 5 precedence lines [17:51] then install [17:51] BrAsS_mOnKeY havent followed, have you enabled 'Universe'? [17:51] styler2go: but you say you still have ipv4 access so it shouldn't matter [17:51] BrAsS_mOnKeY, i start my installation by installing synaptic, a much more detailed softwarecenter [17:51] !info synaptic [17:51] synaptic (source: synaptic): Graphical package manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.83 (xenial), package size 1333 kB, installed size 6929 kB [17:51] MonkeyDust, it was already enabled. [17:52] someone235_: try "nc -v 8.8.8.8 53" that connect to google's dns [17:52] BrAsS_mOnKeY ok, in a terminal, type apt-cache show wireshark ... does it find something? [17:52] akik, but only through some NAT stuff, it's called DS-Lite [17:52] got a timeout, sorry [17:52] anybody got any comprehensive xkb tutorials to point to? [17:52] MonkeyDust, yes. [17:53] section univer/net [17:53] akik: he probably needs to refer to it by its IPv6 address [17:53] universe/net [17:53] 2001:4860:4860::8888 [17:53] BrAsS_mOnKeY ok, great, now type sudo apt instalrl wireshark [17:53] tydru_ [17:53] as well as other things [17:53] ok [17:53] one thing [17:53] akik, "(tcp) failed. No route to host." [17:53] someone235_: did you try the address I just gave? [17:54] BrAsS_mOnKeY, no, do one thing at the time [17:54] when i typed apt-get update (it updated) but under ubuntu software (gui) it had an update too. not sure if they were the same but i updated it too. [17:54] ok === Schnabel- is now known as Schnabeltierchen [17:54] BrAsS_mOnKeY, they are the same routines, don'tworry [17:55] Hi! Is there a way to upgrade 14.04 to 16.04? [17:55] arbi: two, actually [17:55] ipatrol: styler2go i don't see an ipv6 address for de.archive.ubuntu.com ? [17:55] is there a version for monit or god, that can monitor if a GUI app is running? [17:55] arbi: at the moment that is not yet supported. But you can force that upgrade through. [17:55] akik: probably means there isn't one [17:55] akik, what can i add to get ipv6 support? [17:56] ipatrol, yes, same result [17:56] Seveas: any risks? :-) [17:56] installing wireshark :) [17:56] styler2go: maybe change the ubuntu mirror for now if your ipv4 is not working [17:56] BrAsS_mOnKeY yihaa, glass of beer [17:56] someone235_: probably means one of the path links is v4 only, where in the world are you? [17:56] arbi: so far it worked for me everywhere, but always make backups. [17:56] hahah! LOL [17:56] How can i preserse user from looking out of /home/user ? [17:56] akik: sounds like his v6 isn [17:56] 't working either [17:56] sorry to make you crave beer :\ [17:56] haha :D [17:56] styler2go: se.archive and fi.archive have an ipv6 address [17:56] yep, ipv4 is dead... i can't even ping the domain. which mirror supports ipv6? [17:56] * BrAsS_mOnKeY cheers to MonkeyDust :D [17:57] Seveas: Ok is this forcable method described somewhere? [17:57] styler2go: nl.archive [17:57] ipatrol, Israel [17:57] arbi: I usually use sudo do-release-upgrade -d, but that might now actually want to upgrade you to yakkety, so be careful with that and abort if it wants to do a yakkety upgrade. [17:58] configure wireshark-coomon? [17:58] yes or no. I'm basically trying to capture wifi data [17:58] Seveas: yakkety isn't in the meta-release file yet, so it should be fine. [17:58] Pici: ok, thanks [17:58] someone235_: ah, shalom [17:58] purpse of having ubuntu vm [17:58] IP for .nl is 2001:7b8:3:37::21:3 [17:58] Seveas: what to do if it goes for yakkety? [17:58] ipatrol, lol shalom :) [17:59] arbi: it shouldn't the config data doesn't exist for yakkety yet. [17:59] arbi: that I don't actually know. Pici do you? [17:59] arbi: plus a comma or two ^^ ;) also it prompts you before doing anything [18:00] BrAsS_mOnKeY, are you trying wireshark in a VM ? [18:00] someone235_: try `ping6 2001:7b8:3:37::21:3` [18:00] OerHeks, yeah [18:00] BrAsS_mOnKeY, leave you to it .. we told you for 2 DAYS, don't use wireshark in a VM, period. i ignore you from now on. [18:00] Pici: I tried upgrading throught software update.. it suggests 15.10 but fails at the configuration check [18:00] OerHeks, no. I have learned how to [18:00] no need to be like that. [18:01] arbi: right. That isn't offered automatically until 16.04.1 is released, in July [18:01] i have a dongle and have been told how to [18:01] akik: someone told me yesterday that their ISP in Brazil filtered ICMPs to/from non-business accounts, I would hope something stupid like that isn't happening here [18:01] Pici: Ok then I'll try with the -d option and see how it goes [18:02] with iwlwifi driver [18:02] someone from wireshark has guided me. [18:02] BrAsS_mOnKeY: I still don't think it will work, but good luck anyway :) [18:02] OerHeks: I've used wireshark in a VM before, but you have to configure the VM correctly [18:02] ipatrol, akik ping 8.8.8.8 is now working with 87 percents of success [18:03] someone235_: mazel tov, finally [18:03] someone235_: oh nice how did you fix it? [18:03] ipatrol, akik I did nothing === bob is now known as Guest44036 [18:03] someone235_: you can install mtr so you can see where the packet loss is coming from [18:04] there are so many pacakge sources i need to find :/ [18:04] akik: maybe the Syrians cut one of the cables again :-P [18:04] akik, ipatrol sorry, it says 85 packet loss :( [18:04] Pici, ty :D [18:05] someone235_: ok, so you're getting SOMETHING, just not much [18:05] someone235_: try "mtr 8.8.8.8" [18:05] ipatrol, akik dns doesn't work (I can't ping google.com) [18:06] ipatrol, did you just configure usb for wireshark? [18:06] akik: I don't think he's that far with the installer yet [18:06] with wifi dongle? [18:06] BrAsS_mOnKeY: no, I patched through the laptop's card to the VM by enabling the monitor mode setting in VBox [18:06] someone235_: set your dns servers in network manager or where you've set them usually [18:06] I'm using Lubuntu 16.04. I just changed my wlan interface name in the /etc/iftab. Now Lubuntu hangs after the graphical screen loaded ("Lubuntu 16.04" and the 4 dots). What can I do ? [18:07] #django [18:07] akik: won't do him a fat load of good with 85% packet loss [18:07] ipatrol: ok but mtr doesn't need dns [18:07] #django [18:07] tevin: /join #django [18:07] ipatrol: but installing it does :) [18:07] having no ipv4 sucks :( [18:07] /join #django [18:08] akik: he should have traceroute though [18:08] kubuntu had mtr installed by default [18:08] akik, I tried, it doesn't seem to help [18:08] someone235_: can you see some box having a bigger number in Loss% ? [18:09] akik: only MTR would give him a box-by-box loss [18:09] that's where your packet loss is coming from [18:09] what he has to do is `traceroute6 2001:7b8:3:37::21:3` and then manually ping each box on the list [18:10] ipatrol: i think mtr does that [18:10] akik: but he doesn't have mtr, I thought we established [18:10] Hi [18:10] 21:08 < someone235_> akik, I tried, it doesn't seem to help [18:11] Hey how do i get recovery img file for phicomm e653 [18:11] I pressed F2 and I can see "A start job is running for Hold until it finished up..." when I scroll a bit top I can see "Failed to start Light Display Manager [18:11] ipatrol, akik http://i.imgur.com/lMdzwJf.png [18:11] ipatrol, were you able to capture wifi data? [18:12] that's what I'm trying to do [18:12] BrAsS_mOnKeY: yeah, with the help of another program to put the card in mon mode [18:12] oh, what program? :) [18:12] Acrylic WiFi I think it was [18:12] ok [18:12] thanks [18:12] for some cards you need CommView WiFi [18:12] if this dongle option doesnt work, i will look into that [18:13] run it on the host box [18:13] Ubuntu 16.04: according to the package search in xenial keepassx is included in universe, however I can't find it via the software center. How can I find out if I can get it from the repos? [18:14] someone235: well your packet loss looks terrible from stage one [18:14] ipatrol, did you set yours to configure wireshark-common? [18:15] BrAsS_mOnKeY: I don't recall everything I did, I've moved to an on-metal setup since then, largely so I wouldn't have to deal with that crap anymore [18:15] ok [18:15] someone235: what's up with your local router? [18:17] ipatrol, idk. I think of buying a new one. But isn't it weird that only one device has problems with this router? [18:18] someone235_: not particularly. Usually that means is has some quirky behavior that some NICs tolerate and some don't [18:18] What is the channel name of android dev [18:19] ipatrol, but it works pretty good with my Windows [18:19] ipatrol hi [18:19] (I have dual boot) [18:19] someone how do i install ubuntu in ubuntu [18:20] someone235_: there's winmtr. could you install it and test? [18:20] Replace it with a recent model, one with good IPv6 support [18:20] akik, yes [18:20] Singam: wat? [18:21] Lubuntu 16.04: I'm stuck at startup (A start job is running for Hold ...), how can I debug this and see all error messages?

Which approach would you guys recommend more, bcache/dm-cache er EXT4 external journaling? [18:22] gislikarl i recomend ext4 [18:22] akik: no [18:22] fub use ctrl z [18:23] fub: you can go into another virtual console and read log messages with journalctl [18:23] Singam: nothing happens [18:23] fub use ctrl c [18:23] akik: no mather what I press, I'm in the stuck loading screen or on this console where I can see this error [18:23] Singam: I'm not in a shell [18:23] oh on startup. the virtual consoles might not be available yet [18:23] fub ur install corrupted [18:24] Singam: I changed the wlan interface name in /etc/iftab, then rebooted. I dont know if this is causing the error, cant scroll up to see the first error .. [18:24] akik: I can boot into recovery mode, but where can I look there for errors? [18:24] Use page up fub [18:25] Singam: then I get back to the loading screen [18:25] fub, boot from a cd, mount your volumes, and undo your change. [18:25] fub use linux mint its way better than stupid ubuntu [18:25] shift+page up scrolls up but instantly scrolls down because of this counter [18:25] this isn't #mint. [18:25] brianx: I got into recovery and tried to undo this, but I dont think if I got the interface name as it was before. [18:26] because it was a strange combination of numbers [18:26] If i ask people to use linux mint in #mint channel that woyld be stupid [18:26] fub: comment out the interface and fix it once booted. [18:26] running iwconfig showed me something like the old name, I changed it to this but I'm not sure if it was exactly this name [18:26] akik: http://pastie.org/private/jr1cmc1kts4i5006uo6qla [18:26] brianx: in the /etc/iftab [18:26] ? [18:26] Linux mint is very stable [18:26] how about ubuntu? Singam [18:26] akik: it looks better [18:27] Ububtu crashes and is stupid [18:27] someone235: sorry to say but my packet loss to the same destination: 0% packet loss [18:27] fub: whereever you changed it. [18:27] brianx: only in the /etc/iftab [18:27] there you go. [18:28] someone235: i don't know why the packet loss is less severe in windows [18:28] I had the same problem like u ...soi installed linux mint....its waaaay better than gayubuntu [18:28] brianx: commented it out, no change. maybe this is not causing this error [18:28] Singam stop [18:29] When u start using linux mint ...therr is no stopping u MonkeyDust [18:29] MonkeyDust, that troll is working on androidirc, lolz [18:30] Linux mint is sooo stable than gayubuntu and centos combined [18:30] any other idea where I can have a look to see the actual error? [18:30] is something from this saved so when I boot in recovery mode I can look at it? [18:30] U [18:30] fub: boot off a cd, mount your volumes and see if anything was logged. [18:31] I will boot in recovery and not activate write mode [18:32] fub: i'd use a cd, but up to you. i've never used a recovery mode.

Some kind of legacy cruft from old versions or something [19:59] i setup Ubuntu 16.04 on my computer. Did apt-get update.

I'm using builtin hardware encryption on my SSD with ATA Security managed by the UEFI firmware, so it's just redundant [20:03] helpubuntu: here is an introduction to lxd https://insights.ubuntu.com/2015/04/28/getting-started-with-lxd-the-container-lightervisor there is more info on linuxcontainers.org [20:03] thanks## [20:04] it is quite new, but if you are running Ubuntu 16.04, it can easily be installed from the archive [20:04] haha [20:04] i did it [20:04] remember, it is possible to run draftsight on 16.04 [20:05] worth noting: 16.04 isn't really considered LTS caliber just yet [20:05] just install libgstreamer [20:05] they outright say 14.04 users should wait until 16.04.1 [20:05] oh really? its not lts yet? [20:05] whem will it be released? [20:05] it... is and isn't [20:06] it's an LTS release, but not yet up to the LTS standard [20:07] if it's a new install I'd probably opt for 16.04 anyway, saving headaches later is worth the risks (the upgrade process comes with its own set of potential complications; there was an issue where the GNOME variant would fail to upgrade correctly and clobber system services when you try) [20:07] when? [20:08] apparently the rule of thumb is the first "point release" should be up to LTS standards [20:08] which is expected in July [20:10] that'll be a pretty fun day for me. I have a pretty mission critical machine on 14.04. If it hits a major problem it cripples the entire house [20:11] where can i download the canon scanner drivers for ubuntu 16.04? [20:11] Anti-Socialness: you'll find cannon has hit and miss support on linux in general [20:12] Anti-Socialness: look at the cups support for your device, and look at the hardware compatibility for linux on the cannon website of your device [20:12] thanks [20:12] business units tend to have pretty good support, if nothing else because they usually have a built-in postscript interpreter and some kind of standards-compliant internal server [20:12] consumer grade gear... Good. Luck.

I had to copy the link, then trim off the last couple directories to find the MD5 list [20:42] and no, it's not on the wiki page itself [20:42] it is [20:42] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall [20:42] ipatrol: the links on that page also have all the md5 and sha1 sums [20:42] ipatrol: hrm, thats silly.

[20:46] a basic understanding of what the mini is before using it seems more than a basic requirement [20:46] Ideally Lubuntu's page should link directly to the Minimal page instead of duplicating information. [20:47] Pici: precisely my thought [20:47] and then say "Once you have done that, continue with the instructions below" [20:48] then yada yada ... [20:48] Hi [20:49] ikonia: the structure of Lubuntu's page didn't make it immediately obvious that the minimal installer is shared [20:50] ipatrol: think about it - what does the minimal iso contain.... [20:50] nothing (pretty much) [20:50] ikonia: an installer for a basic command-line environment [20:50] I updated some of the page... but it still needs a big cleanup.. lots of this info is confusing. [20:50] ipatrol: right, so why would there need to be different versions ? [20:50] I dare say most people don't even realize the only difference between the various Ubuntu flavors is which packages (which are available for any Ubuntu) are installed beforehand [20:50] I thought maybe it had a different set of components [20:51] reisio: some flavors also have tweaks to their kernels [20:51] hi guys, anyone know how to insall LSB via terminal? === cenobite is now known as Guest81674 [20:51] ipatrol: no they don't [20:51] Hulio: installl lsb ?

[20:55] ipatrol : from where do I change [20:55] Hulio: it may help us if you can share the error or issue you're seeing. I need to go afk myself though. [20:56] it's a generic deb package, that depends on the lsb package, it's not going to work [20:56] dars: generally you start by installing the desktop package for the new DE, then switch to it from the session manager, then remove the old DE [20:56] Ohh [20:56] note this will probably break more than a few packages at first [20:57] !desktop | dars [20:57] dars: A desktop environment is what "puts the pieces of a !GUI together". The available desktop environments in Ubuntu are !GNOME (ubuntu-desktop), !KDE (kubuntu-desktop), !Xfce (xubuntu-desktop), !LXDE (lubuntu-desktop), IceWM, !Fluxbox, WindowMaker (wmaker), FVWM and others - See also !Flavors [20:58] the names in parenthesis are the packages for the respective DEs [20:58] But sometimes the menus appear automatically [20:58] And sometime not [20:58] dars: depends on which toolkit the GUI is using [20:59] dars: mouse over the top bar [20:59] dars: oh, is your issue with the windows to specific GUIs, or the desktop itself? [21:02] new editions often change aspects of the UI. Personally, I think that distros should think of UIs the same way they think of system components, that is to say don't make sudden, drastic changes to them [21:02] thanks [21:02] ipatrol: mmm, but distros don't usually control that [21:02] IRC is magic... hahaha [21:03] DE maintainers certainly should think that way, though [21:03] reisio: downstream is not obligated to push everything the DE devs cook up [21:04] and given the way a certain set of DE devs behave, I'd say trying to get them to think differently about UI changes is like pleading with water to stop being wet [21:06] so it's left to the distro maintainers not to break interoperability with those squishy little computing devices sitting in front of the screen :-) [21:06] ipatrol: they're even more not obliged to maintain things they haven't before, however [21:07] that's untenable [21:07] Canonical, for example, doesn't have the developer to maintain GNOME 2, for example [21:07] the developerS [21:07] or KDE [21:07] reisio: let's take this to -devel [21:07] lets not [21:07] or anything else of much weight [21:07] that's not what -devel is for [21:07] maybe #ubuntu-discuss [21:07] of #ubuntu-offtopic [21:08] ikonia: discuss sounds good [21:12] hi === mohammed is now known as Guest10263 [21:13] Guest10263: yes?

[21:15] yeah [21:15] ipatrol: i can connect my headphones to it [21:15] its not going to work [21:15] why is it so complicated to install epson printer in linux? [21:15] Hulio: because epson don't maintain their packages [21:15] i download their .deb file [21:15] yes [21:15] Hulio: what distro is that .deb for [21:15] Hulio: because proprietary drivers are a ${female_dog} to work with [21:15] ubuntu [21:15] Hulio: how do you know [21:15] i dont know [21:15] Hulio: where does it say that package is for ubuntu [21:16] ipatrol: i cant connect headphones to it , plus i dont know if it is working properly [21:16] well let me check [21:16] Hulio: right - because it's not for ubuntu, it's for generic debian based distro [21:16] ok just tell me how to install [21:16] i dont know much [21:16] Hulio: it's not going to install [21:16] so how will i get my printer to work then [21:16] so freaking complicated [21:16] Hulio: find a different printer [21:16] Hulio: contact Epson would be the first startpoing point [21:17] Hulio: you can install with ignore dependencies options, but I'm not going to advise that [21:17] ikonia: yeah, not gonna help. Epson is dense as lead bricks [21:17] that is the right process though, contact epson to support their packages [21:17] i google ..can't seem to find any instruction to mke it work [21:17] so darn sad [21:17] Hulio: I've just explained why/how [21:18] ikonia: and I'm going to advise him not to waste his time [21:19] is this ligit? idont even see ubuntu software center [21:19] http://tutorialforlinux.com/2016/01/15/how-to-install-epson-inkjet-printers-driver-quick-start-scanning-on-ubuntu-16-04-xenial-lts-linux-easy-guide/ [21:19] Hulio: take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers and find one that's actually supported [21:19] Hulio: I don't trust that site [21:19] oh ok [21:20] anyone know how to connect some bluetooth headphones?
