| Maynard | SO in software center I installed cpufreq but it doesn't show in the panel??? | 00:12 |
| nicomachus | Maynard: you have to start it first. | 00:12 |
| Maynard | Total noob to ubuntu.... how do I start it? | 00:13 |
| nicomachus | from a terminal, type in "cpufreq", hit enter. | 00:13 |
| Maynard | command not found | 00:14 |
| Maynard | not showing as installed in software center either but when I go to all it has a green check mark | 00:15 |
| Ben64 | Maynard: what exactly did you install and what do you expect it to do | 00:16 |
| Maynard | cpu freq.... it manages cpu Mhz.... for some reason in Ubuntu my processor is runnin 1400 not 1900 | 00:18 |
| Maynard | it's underclocking my CPU | 00:18 |
| Ben64 | "cpu freq" isn't a package | 00:18 |
| Ben64 | and it's likely that the processor scales up when needed | 00:19 |
| Maynard | It is supposed to be a simple icon in panel click dropdown and change seettings | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | you still haven't said what you installed | 00:20 |
| nacc | Maynard: as in the exact pacakge name; whatever of ubuntu as well? | 00:20 |
| Maynard | xfce4-cpufreq-plugin | 00:20 |
| nacc | Maynard: i believe you have to add that to your panel once it's installed? | 00:21 |
| nacc | Maynard: also, i don't believe that does *any* control | 00:21 |
| nacc | Maynard: it's purely informational about what your current cpu frequency is | 00:21 |
| Maynard | ROger...you're right. I want something to adjust CPU clock etc. | 00:22 |
| nacc | Maynard: are you sure you're not just seeing the effects of a cpu governor? meaning that when your cpu is not busy, it's clocking down? if you peg the cpu, do you see the cpu mhz change? | 00:24 |
| Ben64 | Maynard: you should really check to see if it scales up under load, there is no point in having the cpu at 100% during idle | 00:24 |
| nacc | Ben64 has you covered :) | 00:24 |
| Maynard | No I get that. It is a quad core with 16G and running like in was stock | 00:25 |
| Maynard | Thanks Ben64 | 00:25 |
| Ben64 | well you should check | 00:25 |
| Maynard | check how? | 00:26 |
| Ben64 | run something that maxes out the cpu, check frequency | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | that provisioning happens in the kernel, the only use for those tools is to trottle back | 00:28 |

| obrazu | hi all | 01:27 |
| ROldan | Gparted dont let me make a partition | 01:30 |
| LambdaComplex | that's very unfortunate | 01:32 |
| LambdaComplex | does it give you an error message? | 01:32 |
| obrazu | on ubuntu server, what are the differences between the default "ubuntu" user and one I create using adduser besides sudoers | 01:32 |
| ROldan | i cant resize the HDD | 01:33 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: is it mounted? | 01:33 |
| Bashing-om | ROldan: 4 primary partition limit ? As there can only be a max of 4 in the legacy partitioning scheme ( one of which can be a container to hold 128 additional logical partitions ) . | 01:33 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: How mounted?, its my central HDD | 01:34 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: are you trying to resize your / partition? | 01:34 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: yes | 01:35 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: i need to desmount it? | 01:35 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: well obviously you can't unmount your / partition | 01:36 |
| LambdaComplex | i'm not sure if gparted has any way of resizing a mounted partition | 01:36 |
| LambdaComplex | if you used a live cd/usb, you could do it from there | 01:36 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: jaja im new with this, Thaks! | 01:36 |
| * LambdaComplex doesn't even know if the ubuntu live cds have gparted installed | 01:37 | |
| * LambdaComplex hopes someone who knows more about this will jump in | 01:37 | |
| nicomachus | LambdaComplex: they do | 01:37 |
| LambdaComplex | figured. just wanted to be sure | 01:37 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: So what i need to do the partition? | 01:37 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: well, if you boot to a live cd, nothing. it should just let you resize it. but it won't let you resize it right now because it's in use | 01:38 |
| obrazu | on ubuntu server, what are the differences between the default "ubuntu" user and one I create using adduser besides sudoers | 01:39 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: entering with my USB and to try to start I can make the partition??? | 01:39 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: entering with my USB (where I install ISO) and to try to start I can make the partition? | 01:42 |
| Ben64 | obrazu: that's it | 01:42 |
| LambdaComplex | obrazu: i have no clue but i doubt there's many things you can change between two users. biggest difference is probably the groups they're in | 01:42 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: boot it in live mode so you get a desktop | 01:43 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: then run gparted | 01:43 |
| WARDEN | I am having an issue, please note my ISP does not block any ports. I am running ver 16.04. I have the servers ip setup as the only ip in the DMZ zone on the router. I have my domain (one of them, afnet.us) pointed to the correct IP address, and i have even gone so far as to disable the firewall on the server as well. however ever time i try to SSH in connection closes saying connection refused, | 01:43 |
| WARDEN | any advice? | 01:43 |
| obrazu | Ben64: one thing for example when I'm logged into ubuntu and I do a sudo command, it doesn't re-prompt for the password, my new user does | 01:43 |
| ROldan | LambdaComplex: live mode? | 01:43 |
| Ben64 | obrazu: newly created users can't use sudo by default | 01:43 |
| obrazu | Ben64: I've added my new user to the sudoers list, but it still prompts for my password and then successfully executes the command | 01:44 |
| Ben64 | WARDEN: ssh in from where | 01:44 |
| WARDEN | I can however successfully SSH in on my LAN | 01:44 |
| WARDEN | Ben64: externally | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | obrazu: you shouldn't add user to the sudoers file, add them to sudo group | 01:45 |
| LambdaComplex | ROldan: sounds right | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | WARDEN: because i'm seeing port 22 open on that domain | 01:45 |
| Ben64 | WARDEN: so it sounds like you're hitting the wrong ip | 01:45 |
| WARDEN | hmm | 01:45 |
| LambdaComplex | WARDEN: Have you checked the sshd_config file? | 01:45 |
| obrazu | ben64: after the newuser was created i ran the following command "sudo adduser NewUser sudo | 01:46 |
| LambdaComplex | Perhaps it's disabled for that user from an external ip? | 01:46 |
| samuel_ | alguem e BR aqui | 01:46 |
| WARDEN | try ip 97.80.85.239 | 01:46 |
| LambdaComplex | Perhaps password authentication is disabled? | 01:46 |
| Ben64 | WARDEN: yep works | 01:46 |
| WARDEN | hmmm well ill be | 01:46 |
| samuel_ | @list | 01:46 |
| samuel_ | #list | 01:46 |

| WARDEN | Ben64 may i pm you for a moment? | 01:47 |
| Ben64 | ok | 01:47 |
| LambdaComplex | WARDEN: although i should point out that leaving sshd on port 22 is a tad risky | 01:47 |
| SchrodingersScat | WARDEN: could it be because you're from inside the lan? | 01:47 |

| WARDEN | So, can connect/login via ssh to my server running 16.04, via domain/ip externally, however internally cannot get error of "Network error: Connection refused" server LAN ip is in DMZ zone, all firewalls disabled | 02:45 |
| WARDEN | any ideas? | 02:45 |
| SchrodingersScat | thought you figured out it was because you're inside the lan :P | 02:45 |
| WARDEN | SchrodingersScat: But the billion dollar question is how do i get it so i can connect to external ip/domain from inside the lan? | 02:46 |
| WARDEN | i have no problem sshing from internal lan ip to internal lan ip | 02:46 |
| WARDEN | we ruled a few things out, but still have this one issue | 02:46 |
| SchrodingersScat | so why no do that? or change your /etc/hosts to point to the one inside the lan? | 02:46 |
| WARDEN | SchrodingersScat: Also for clairification, i am on a win10 system at the moment | 02:47 |
| WARDEN | even though for the record im not fond of windows | 02:47 |

| WARDEN | do you think there may be a setting amiss somewhere? | 02:48 |
| WARDEN | on the windows system that is | 02:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | WARDEN: I was trying to navigate around the problem, if that's not what you want then I'll let you be. | 02:49 |
| WARDEN | i was just curious on your thoughts, i am in fact looking for windows equiv of hosts file | 02:49 |
| jorhell | hey whatcha | 02:50 |

For me, running "from mpi4py import MPI" crashes python with a bunch of errors: https://bpaste.net/show/82a93eaa6835 From what I can tell it's something to do with the mpi4py install but would like to know if someone has a way to use Ubuntu's package of it. | 03:21 |
| Mac3lite | Is a BootLoader the same as Bootmanager? Because I already have rEFInd alread installed and working, so can I continue Linux install without BootLoader? | 03:21 |
| walrider | i think boot manager is to manage edit those boot loader | 03:21 |
| walrider | nigga | 03:21 |

| syntax_ | Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem I have been having with installing wine1.7? I keep getting a particular error message which, after googling, I have not been able to resolve. I am using Ubuntu 13.04. After running "sudo apt-get install wine1.7" I get this output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16503755/ | 04:35 |
| lotuspsychje | syntax_: its recommended to use package versions, specific for your ubuntu version | 04:36 |
| lotuspsychje | !latest | syntax_ | 04:36 |
| ubottu | syntax_: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 04:36 |
| Bashing-om | !raring | syntax_ | 04:36 |
| ubottu | syntax_: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) was the 18th release of Ubuntu. Support ended on January 27, 2014. See !eol, !upgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/raring | 04:36 |
| gde33 | I've found the about:config for autoscroll but if I disable that middle click loads urls from clip board in the current tab | 04:36 |
| syntax_ | lotuspsychje: I've been able to install wine1.4 and wine1.6 but not wine1.7. My problem is that the program that I want to run apparently only works on 1.7 | 04:37 |
| syntax_ | lotuspsychje: thanks for your help. Is your advice to update my version of ubuntu before trying to install wine1.7? | 04:37 |
| gde33 | ah middlemouse.contentLoadURL, ok.. nmv | 04:39 |
| Joaquin-V | does xeyes serve an actual... purpose? | 04:40 |

| lotuspsychje | syntax_: if your program doesnt work on current wine, please file a new bug | 04:40 |
| [Saint] | syntax_: though you probably should be wanting to get off eol ubuntu anyway | 04:41 |
| lotuspsychje | Joaquin-V: eyes follow your mouse | 04:41 |
| syntax_ | lotuspsychje: ok. thanks. Is it possible - while not recommended - to use a version of wine that is not for 13.04? | 04:42 |
| Joaquin-V | lotuspsychje: yes, but does it actually have any applications in which it'd be useful? | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | syntax_: first do what [Saint] advised | 04:42 |
| Joaquin-V | so far it's only been the butt of every Linux joke | 04:42 |
| Joaquin-V | from what I've seen | 04:42 |
| lotuspsychje | Joaquin-V: does the manpage show you anything usefull? | 04:43 |
| Joaquin-V | "Xeyes watches what you do and reports to the Boss." | 04:43 |

| [Saint] | bah - sorry. kitten. | 04:43 |
| syntax_ | lotuspsychje: thanks for your help. Have a good night! :) | 04:43 |
| Joaquin-V | come on, even the manpage is jokes | 04:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Joaquin-V: some linux packages are meant to laugh...like cowsay | 04:44 |
| Joaquin-V | lotuspsychje: oh | 04:44 |
| lotuspsychje | Joaquin-V: depends your idea of 'usefull' | 04:44 |
| Joaquin-V | just wondering if there's any way in which one would say "oh, I could use xeyes" | 04:44 |

| Tommy2 | helllo, how do you get a program to run automatically at startup (it is not in the repo, just from a tar.xz) | 05:24 |
| Tommy2 | i read, that you need to edit "/etc/rc.local" | 05:24 |
| Tommy2 | e.g. the way i run the FOO program now is: cd ~/bin/FOO && sudo ./FOO | 05:26 |
| plytro | Tommy2: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/202698/how-can-i-run-a-program-as-a-root-user-when-my-ubuntu-15-04-machine-starts-up | 05:28 |

| Ben64 | Nene1: reboot. | 05:32 |
| Nene1 | how to get it before reboot | 05:32 |
| Nene1 | Ben64: before rebooot**** | 05:32 |
| Tommy2 | ben, FOO is just program that i downloaded from a tar.xz | 05:32 |
| Ben64 | Nene1: you need to reboot, that's how it works, you can't boot off a kernel when you're already booted from another kernel | 05:32 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: right, but what is it | 05:32 |
| Tommy2 | oh, a VPN | 05:32 |
| Ben64 | openvpn or something wouldn't work? | 05:33 |
| Ben64 | kind of weird having to run something as sudo each boot | 05:33 |
| [Saint] | workaround for not bothering to grab the right group access? | 05:36 |
| Tommy2 | openvpn doesnt work with it. yeh, i think i read your not supposed to run VPN with sudo, but it needs that to work | 05:36 |
| Nene1 | i can go into ment.lst file and see the available versions.. but i want a single command to get it | 05:36 |
| Nene1 | Ben64 ^^ | 05:37 |
| Ben64 | Nene1: what? | 05:37 |
| plytro | Nene1: if you want to be running the new kernel, you must reboot | 05:39 |
| somsip | Tommy2: openvpn here with no sudo | 05:39 |
| plytro | thats it | 05:39 |
| plytro | openvpn doesn't work for me without sudo | 05:40 |
| plytro | I just use network manager | 05:40 |
| plytro | the routes never get established properly if I don't sudo openvpn configfile | 05:40 |
| Nene1 | plytro: yeah i agree... but i just want the kernel version i will get after reboot | 05:40 |
| plytro | you cant have it | 05:40 |
| plytro | you can't load it | 05:40 |
| plytro | it doesn't work that way | 05:40 |
| plytro | you want to know what it will be? | 05:41 |
| plytro | or you want to be running it? | 05:41 |
| plytro | because you can't run it without a reboot | 05:41 |

| Triffid_Hunter | ROldan: pol is a frontend for wine | 05:54 |
| zjk | @Ben64 Thanks I'll try update | 05:55 |

| plytro | go to the wine channel for questions about wine | 06:18 |
| Ben64 | zjk: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:18 |
| plytro | granted my sed is not the most efficient | 06:20 |
| plytro | but if you don't know too much about regex, they are simple to parse | 06:20 |
| Tommy2 | Ben64, HOw do you enable "dist-upgrade" for when you click the "software updater" icon? | 06:20 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: idk, i like terminal | 06:21 |
| plytro | !dist-upgrade | 06:21 |
| ubottu | 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. | 06:21 |
| Tommy2 | in Linux Mint it is just a checkbox, how do you do it in ubuntu? | 06:21 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: i think it's on by default | 06:21 |
| user | hi all. i faced this issue https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1006838-start-0.html on my freshly 16.04 Xubuntu installation. My system has already (by default) the symbolic link mentioned on this thread (http://pasteboard.co/11gfPQvc.png). Any idea to override this issue? | 06:22 |
| ubuntu-mate | hello | 06:22 |
| Tommy2 | Ben64, no it's not, i just tried it right now, and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" gives me more updates, (while the Icon, gives me none) | 06:22 |
| Bernard63 | Good morning. Yersterday I ran into a boot ptob after mounting a network drive and backing up my system on an external drive. | 06:22 |
| ubuntu-mate | how do i install updates | 06:23 |
| brushdemon | sudo apt full-upgrade is a good alternative :) | 06:23 |
| Bernard63 | I am online with LIVE/CD. Need some help. | 06:23 |
| plytro | Tommy2: IconsPage/info.png Dist-upgrade is the default upgrade method used by Synaptic. To change the upgrade method, choose Preferences from the Settings menu, then click on the General tab and adjust the System upgrade entry. | 06:23 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: just checked mine, and it includes everything | 06:24 |
| Bernard63 | Boot messages Trying to boot with network connection Wait for another 60 sec. But no booting at all. | 06:24 |
| ubuntu-mate | im using a usb boot will everything be in place if i exit | 06:24 |
| Bernard63 | Doesn|t look like a bad backup. Because the backup files seem all to be in place on the external harddrive. | 06:26 |
| plytro | Bernard63: same here | 06:26 |
| plytro | er | 06:27 |
| plytro | Ben64: same here | 06:27 |
| Tommy2 | plytro, thanks, my Synaptic says "smart upgrade" not "dist-upgrade", but it does include more updates, than the "software-updater" icon. So how do you get the Software-Updater to do "smart upgrade" or "dist upgrade"?? Ben64 | 06:27 |
| Bernard63 | plytro: Bad weather | 06:27 |
| plytro | Tommy2: what does update-manager say? | 06:27 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: 'update-manager' does dist-upgrade by default | 06:27 |
| Tommy2 | i am on Xubuntu 16.04 | 06:28 |
| plytro | me too | 06:28 |
| plytro | I don't even have synaptic | 06:28 |
| plytro | if you hit alt-f2 | 06:28 |
| plytro | and type update-manager | 06:28 |
| Tommy2 | 'update-manager' runs the same thing as the "software updater" icon. and it says everything is already up-to-date | 06:28 |
| plytro | and dist-upgrade from the cli give you more packages? | 06:29 |
| Tommy2 | hmmm, there is a message in the Terminal, i can paste it | 06:29 |
| Tommy2 | plytro, yes, dist-upgrade from the cli give you more packages--- that is my exact question. why? | 06:30 |
| Ben64 | put the output from dist-upgrade into http://paste.ubuntu.com | 06:30 |

| kalenpw | oops didn't mean to repost sorry bout that thanks! didn't even realize that new to irc and just copied the command | 06:44 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | i want to leave windows untouched but replace thi new ubuntu with my old one | 06:44 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu-mate_: you should be able to choose "something else" | 06:44 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | ok where do i go from there | 06:44 |
| Tommy2 | plytro, is it okay to autoremove those "flagged for removal packages" even if i run programs from TAR.XZ? | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | format the partition(s) you want to replace with ubuntu, and set the mountpoint(s) for them | 06:45 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | or should i press the button that says to erase ubuntu 14.04 and reinstall | 06:45 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | will that reinstall mate? | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | yes | 06:45 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | so it will install mate instead of the old ubuntu correct? | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | if you have ubuntu mate dvd/usb in....yes | 06:46 |
| de-facto | ubuntu-mate_ in "something else" you can choose your old ubuntu disk (which will be overwritten, as root "/", check format on this). Also if you have a separate swap or home you can choose to use it in "Something else.." for your new installation | 06:46 |
| Tommy2 | ubuntu-mate_, the easy solution is to get a second HDD/SSD for ubuntu, or even just a flash drive | 06:46 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | ok thank you very much guys | 06:47 |
| Tommy2 | ubuntu-mate_, i have never "dual booted" HDD's are cheap nowadays | 06:47 |
| de-facto | ubuntu-mate_ i meant "old ubuntu partition" on your disk. all those are partitions on your disk | 06:47 |
| Tommy2 | ubuntu-mate_, .. and then eventually you won't need Windows anymore, anyway :) | 06:48 |
| ubuntu-mate_ | thanks tommy | 06:48 |

| Tommy2 | plytro, any ideas on my dist-upgrade problem? | 06:50 |
| Ben64 | Tommy2: the updates you see on command line aren't important, so they aren't immediately shown by update-manager by default | 06:51 |
| Archeus_ | how to resolve Dependency is not satisfiable: libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.16.2) ? | 06:51 |

| Ben64 | i didn't say synaptic | 06:53 |
| Tommy2 | the "software & updates" settings, i'm there now. i dont see a "dist upgrade' or "smart upgrade" option. (like you do in Linux Mint) | 06:54 |

| Tommy2 | Ben64, all the repo choices | 06:54 |

| === Guest4 is now known as McLight | ||
| gde33 | de-facto: I selected the ones outside the screen with the arrow keys, added a visible one with ctrl click then dragged them into the view port :) | 06:58 |
| McLight | Any opinions on the two distros | 06:58 |
| McLight | or versions I should say | 06:58 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, If you truly think about "release date" and all that follows a "release", the 16.04 release, in about say six months time, will be solid as a rock...and I state this out of pure reality, nothing more. Therefore, it would depend on what you wish to use your installation for... | 07:01 |
| McLight | Yeah that's what I was thinking | 07:01 |
| McLight | I'll wait | 07:01 |
| YankDownUnder | It's been like that from the beginning, and it's like that now - so nothing changes, hmm? | 07:02 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, Is it a "critical" installation, bro? | 07:02 |
| McLight | no | 07:02 |
| McLight | just a alternative to winblowz | 07:03 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, Right...so if it's not critical, then you can experiment...but you know where I'm going with that... | 07:03 |
| McLight | yeah when I first installed 14.04 right after release transmission wouldn't work | 07:03 |
| McLight | I've matured I don't need bleeding edge | 07:04 |
| de-facto | gde33 clever :) | 07:04 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, In comparison to MS Windows, I shall tell you this: In the past several weeks, "Die Hard" Windows users that are clients of mine literally, after seeing a machine being booted off a USB - and seeing a laptop that I have - running Ubu - just switched right then and there...and several more are coming aboard... | 07:04 |
| McLight | you might not like this.... | 07:04 |
| McLight | but my fav is OS X | 07:04 |
| McLight | built on freebsd | 07:05 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, 16.04 ain't really "bleeding edge" - for that, use Fedora...however, 16.04 is solid enough right now...and very usable... | 07:05 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, The machine next to me is OSX...just upgraded to 10.11.5 as of this arvo...but that's for a different channel... | 07:06 |
| Ace0 | hi | 07:06 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, The folks that I migrated have been ecstatic about the change, the speed...and using vbox for their "Outlook" running seamlessly, well, it's a "shoo in" | 07:06 |

| YankDownUnder | Right...that was NOT interesting... | 07:09 |
| McLight | YankDownUnder which version of Ubuntu do you use xfce, unity, mate, cinnamon you get the idea | 07:10 |
| YankDownUnder | McLight, Tell ya, bro, I used to LOVE Gnome 1.4.6...way back when...and that being the case, my FAVE is "Mate" - however, I don't really care about much of anything other than usage and speed...so, XFCE is my choice for when I'm doing "virtualisation" related stuff...or other support related stuff...because it's just fast, nothing gets in my way, and it's, well, fast...otherwise, I stick to Mate...sometimes Cinnamon...but mostly | 07:12 |
| YankDownUnder | Mate. | 07:12 |
| radicate | I'm trying to apt-get install some package and it complains about not being able to install a package I tried to install a few days ago? | 07:12 |
| radicate | How do I get out of this mess? ;o | 07:13 |
| YankDownUnder | radicate, If you explain with a bit more detail, that might help... | 07:14 |
| Mathisen | radicate, easyer for someone to help you if you paste the output... | 07:14 |
| Mathisen | radicate, in a pastebin ofc not in chan | 07:14 |
| radicate | http://pastebin.com/7fLXV3SJ | 07:16 |
| YankDownUnder | radicate, Have you tried to "sudo apt-get remove build-essentials" => and then re-install it? | 07:19 |
| somsip | radicate: do you want libssh2-php? | 07:19 |
| radicate | YankDownUnder: Nope, but why would it matter? it doesn't even seem to try installing it, only complains about a package I've given up on due to failure installing | 07:20 |
| somsip | radicate: there is a script trying to access a command that does not exists. IME, delete the post install script at /var/lib/dpkg/info/libssh2-php.postinst and remove it again. It may leave artifacts elsewhere though | 07:20 |
| YankDownUnder | radicate, I'm merely trying to offer a logical resolution. It would be a safe ideology to remove a package, then re-install a package to see if the error persists. Quite simple logic, nothing to do with abstract thinking. | 07:21 |
| somsip | radicate: or edit that file to delete the call to php5enmod, then it might clean up everything else too | 07:21 |
| zjk | After sudo apt-get dist-upgrade /etc/issue still shows me 14.04.2 | 07:27 |
| zjk | Should I be expecting to see 14.04.4? | 07:27 |
| Ben64 | zjk: yes. what kernel are you running? (uname -a) | 07:28 |

| k1l_ | zjk: did you run "sudo apt update" before? | 07:28 |
| zjk | Not so sure. I think I do have done that | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | oh, you're on the 14.10 kernel | 07:29 |
| k1l_ | then run "sudo apt update && sudo aot full-upgrade" to make sure :) | 07:29 |
| zjk | E: Invalid operation full-upgrade | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | apt, not apt-get | 07:31 |

| zjk | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 07:32 |

| Ben64 | no | 07:33 |
| k1l_ | Cursed_God: no. that is bad advice. | 07:33 |
| zjk | My main goal is to install libdbus-1-3:i386 | 07:34 |
| zjk | So I can use teamviewer | 07:34 |
| Cursed_God | k1l_: why? | 07:34 |
| k1l_ | zjk: can you run this and show the url "grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999" | 07:35 |
| YankDownUnder | Official upgrade path: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes | 07:35 |
| zjk | http://termbin.com/f9dy | 07:35 |
| k1l_ | Cursed_God: the do-release-upgrade command is used to change the ubuntu release version from 14.04 to 14.10 or from 14.04 to 16.04. | 07:35 |

| k1l_ | zjk: what is the issue with libdbus-1-3 now? | 07:40 |
| zjk | k1l_: http://termbin.com/cn7e | 07:42 |
| zjk | I also asked this question here [ http://askubuntu.com/questions/774513/what-does-the-aptitude-why-and-why-not-mean ] | 07:42 |
| k1l_ | zjk: why force the 32bit version? | 07:42 |
| zjk | I wanted to use teamviewer. it required the 32-bit version | 07:43 |
| zjk | http://termbin.com/um3k | 07:44 |
| YankDownUnder | zjk, Don't suppose using the Chrome remote desktop (free)(64bit) works for ya, hmm? | 07:44 |
| zjk | YankDownUnder: didn't know about it I'll try that | 07:45 |
| k1l_ | zjk: are you sure its a package for ubuntu? it lists "yum" in that output | 07:45 |
| YankDownUnder | zjk, Yeah bro...it's kinda free...kinda easy to use...kinda works with any/every platform...and free...did I mention it was free? Oh yeah, it's free. | 07:46 |
| zjk | k1l_: the part above the yum was supposed to show apt-get, somehow it is broken | 07:46 |
| k1l_ | zjk: teamviewer gives out .deb packages | 07:47 |
| k1l_ | zjk: http://www.teamviewer.com/de/download/linux/ | 07:47 |
| zjk | I tried. same issue. libc6:i386 required | 07:47 |
| k1l_ | zjk: "sudo apt-get purge teamviewer; sudo apt-get purge teamviewer:i386; sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install libasound2:i386 libfontconfig1:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libjpeg62:i386 libpng12-0:i386 libsm6:i386 libxrandr2:i386 libxrender1:i386 libxtst6:i386 libxinerama1:i386; wget --continue 'http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_i386.deb'; sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_i386.deb; sudo apt-get install -f " | 07:49 |
| de-facto | zjk btw if you just need to broadcast your sceeen you also can use something like https://meet.jit.si with chromium-browser and that tiny js extension it automatically installs for sharing your screen (but no remote control). it also provides group video/text/editing and such | 07:49 |
| nocturn | Hi, I have an issue with Libreoffice impress on Ubuntu 16.04, it does not happen on the same version of libreoffice on 14.04. | 07:49 |
| k1l_ | teamviewer is one of the typical prop. programs that need your system to become a mess. its even not native program, its running in wine. | 07:49 |
| Cursed_God | i installed unity to 16.04 gnome but its missing from unity greeter https://gist.github.com/c8be5f4d90ce1916ec80a02bb7c7f602 ; https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c0194d9b8618b141d78a75736384404f | 07:49 |
| nocturn | when copying, inserting or saving slides, the soffice.bin process takes a lot of CPU, making impress unusable | 07:50 |
| YankDownUnder | ...hence the usage of something nice and free like Chrome Remote Desktop... | 07:50 |

| zjk | still the libc6:i386 issue | 07:53 |
| k1l_ | zjk: "sudo apt install libc6:i386" see why its blocked | 07:53 |
| zjk | libc6:i386 : Depends: libgcc1:i386 but it is not going to be installed | 07:53 |
| zjk | if I do "sudo apt-get install libgcc1:i386" it outputs a lot info | 07:54 |
| de-facto | hmm is that system already multiarch or woudl he need to enable i386 in dpkg maybe? | 07:54 |
| k1l_ | zjk: show that | 07:54 |

| zjk | amd64 and i386 both there | 07:57 |
| zjk | So is it holeless? | 07:57 |
| zjk | hopeless? | 07:57 |
| k1l_ | zjk: this is wrong. it wants to remove the whole system. | 07:57 |

| k1l_ | zjk: i dont know where that bad depencies come from. maybe from using that old raring repo | 07:58 |
| de-facto | zjk what does "dpkg --print-foreign-architectures" print you out? | 07:59 |

| azizLIGHT | how do i tell if my middle click on the mouse is working or not | 08:05 |
| azizLIGHT | trying to middle click things in firefox and nothings happening | 08:05 |
| azizLIGHT | i can scroll up/down but not middle click | 08:05 |
| azizLIGHT | any ideas | 08:05 |
| lyze | azizLIGHT, Enter "xev" into a terminal window | 08:06 |
| lyze | azizLIGHT, This opens a new small window where you can test keyboard / mouse features. just press the middle mouse button on to that window and see if the console outputs something that it was pressed | 08:06 |
| YankDownUnder | azizLIGHT, Have you enabled "autoscrolling" in Firefox? If not, you may want to do that...then restart Firefox and try this all over again... | 08:06 |
| azizLIGHT | lyze: im not seeing any buttonpress or buttonrelease event for the middle mouse button, but i can see them for the left/right clicks | 08:07 |
| azizLIGHT | YankDownUnder: yeah i checked that setting, i always had it enabled | 08:07 |
| lyze | azizLIGHT, then your button doesn't work | 08:08 |
| azizLIGHT | so my middle mouse really is not working, physically, hardware wise...? | 08:08 |
| azizLIGHT | oh no | 08:08 |
| de-facto | zjk also in the past i liked to use VNC via HTML5 like https://kanaka.github.io/noVNC/ and X11VNC/TigerVNC/RealVNC or such, also if the target is linux i can recommend somthing like http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php | 08:08 |
| azizLIGHT | ok its working after i turned the mouse on/off | 08:09 |
| azizLIGHT | weird | 08:09 |
| YankDownUnder | azizLIGHT, Try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2092090 | 08:10 |
| zjk | de-facto: I'll try that. It's not just failing to install teamviewer make me come here. It's my ignorance about how the package system works annoys me. It still seems a mystery to me why libc6:i386 failed to install | 08:12 |
| de-facto | zjk or even windows remote desktop/VNC or such if you use windows on the target and use remmina to connect to that from linux client. i guess you also might be able to tunnel that over ssh or vpn or such | 08:13 |

| YankDownUnder | zoe__, Could do | 08:18 |
| de-facto | zoe__ you can create some in ~/Templates and then right click in nautilus to use those templates | 08:18 |
| zjk | de-facto: different NAT. one at my office, one at my home. I didn't apply for a company VPN. Since my office has faster internet, I'll trying to use that at home | 08:18 |
| === kripx__ is now known as kripx | ||
| de-facto | zjk hmm but then the limiting factor still is your home internet i guess, if you get vpn from your company you might be able to just use windows remote desktop protocol from your home linux client (dial in via vpn, then you are behind the company NAT and should be able to connect with remmina or rdesktop i guess) | 08:21 |

| === flamsky1 is now known as flamsky | ||
| === abhishek_ is now known as Guest43703 | ||
| de-facto | sjmulder can you be more specific about what you want to achieve? there are ppa's with many packages provided by third party packagers, if you find a "debian" dir for your package you can build it yourself with "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc" and install that with dpkg or gdebi | 08:29 |
| mcphail | sjmulder: You, or someone else, will need to become a package maintainer, get it onto Debian, and continue to maintain the package in the long term. It is a big commitment | 08:29 |
| mcphail | sjmulder: If you don't want to take on that level of responsibility, have a look to see if snappy meetes your needs | 08:30 |
| rilleh | I'm having issues with iTerm2 shell integration and Ubuntu, anyone here that have got it to work? | 08:31 |
| rilleh | It works on my Mac | 08:31 |
| sjmulder | de-facto: I have a simple but useful program which is finished & tagged 1.0.0 on GitHub. I want other people to be able to install it easily in Ubuntu | 08:32 |
| rilleh | Nevermind, I found the problem | 08:32 |
| rilleh | tmux :( | 08:32 |
| sjmulder | de-facto: ideally if there is a team of people who do such things I’d be happy to have them maintain the packaging, otherwise I have no issue tacking it up myself | 08:33 |
| sjmulder | mcphail: thanks for the explanation and tip there, I’ll have a look at snappy | 08:33 |
| asdffff | irc channel for history? | 08:34 |
| de-facto | you can setup a ppa or even your own hosted repo (on your server somewhere). maybe #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-packaging can help you with that? not sure | 08:34 |
| de-facto | sjmulder ^^ | 08:34 |
| sjmulder | de-facto: that's one option, but Debian/Ubuntu packaging looks like an art in itself. I’ll hang around on that channel for a bit | 08:36 |
| de-facto | sjmulder there is also https://build.opensuse.org/ if you want to support more distros (thats not debian specific), but i guess you have to do it on your own or find someone who maintains it for you | 08:36 |
| sjmulder | oh that is awesome! I was hoping such a thing existed | 08:37 |
| de-facto | sjmulder but it doesnt provide the standard debian packaging i think (not entirely sure) and might use something different to "debian" dir, hence maybe not provide .debs in such high quality than debian/ubuntu specific ways | 08:38 |
| sjmulder | de-facto: I see. but just knowing it’ll build and run cleanly on all these distros is great | 08:39 |
| barabasi | hi guys, anyone own a chromebook? I'm running ubuntu trusty and I'm kinda stuck on a step of installing rstudio | 08:39 |
| de-facto | sjmulder maybe it uses something like https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake:Packaging_With_CPack but that almost might tend to offtopic i fear | 08:40 |
| mcphail | sjmulder: to be honest, if you provide repo access and release tarballs using a sensible build system (automake/cmake/whatever), someone is likely to package it if it is useful enough | 08:42 |
| sobersabre | hi. I'm trying to connect a maching to ad using: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html | 08:43 |
| sobersabre | I think everything worked ok, except that it doesn't work :) | 08:43 |
| sobersabre | I have smbd, nmbd up, I have sssd up, and ntpd is up. | 08:43 |
| sjmulder | mcphail: it’s this: https://github.com/sjmulder/json-yaml useful for a very specific audience. I use it for getting readable output from web API's w/ curl myself | 08:43 |
| sobersabre | But getent passwd user doesn't work. | 08:43 |
| sjmulder | I don't think it's really interesting enough that someone will pick it up on their own | 08:43 |
| sobersabre | I might have installed something that I shouldn't and it clashes. can somebody help ? | 08:43 |
| sjmulder | sobersabre: how did you install it? | 08:46 |
| de-facto | sjmulder if you want a full development build system you also might be interessted in using something like jenkins/tuleap or such | 08:50 |
| Qwertie | Should this be marked as confirmed because I found a driver that fixes the problem? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1550905 | 08:50 |
| sjmulder | de-facto: yeah. I was planning to set up something like that with maybe some Docker images/VMs/that Debian tool for various distros that I can use for future projects too | 08:51 |
| sobersabre | sjmulder: what do you mean by "it" ? | 08:51 |
| mcphail | sjmulder: looks useful. It would, probably, benefit from a simple automake conversion with some pkg-config checks for your dependent libraries. The debian packaging process can use that automatically | 08:51 |
| researcher123 | after recent updates on ubuntu 14.04 my pc fails to recogniseModem. Wht should I do? PLEASE HELP ME | 08:52 |
| sjmulder | sobersabre: the thing you installed. was it a package, an installer? | 08:52 |
| researcher123 | it was updated by automatic update | 08:53 |
| sobersabre | sjmulder: I used only packages, initially I've installed an ldap client, after it worked, I went to google, and then read the aforementioned official howto and followed it to the letter. | 08:53 |
| sobersabre | I've not ran: net ads join -k -d7 and collected the output, I see some errors I haven't seen before. | 08:54 |
| sobersabre | sjmulder: ^^^^ | 08:54 |
| sobersabre | sjmulder: e.g.: pdb_create_builtin_alias: Could not get a gid out of winbind | 08:54 |
| researcher123 | how to uninstall recent automatic updates? | 08:54 |
| somsip | researcher123: look in /var/log/apt/history.log and remove them. | 08:55 |
| YankDownUnder | sobersabre, I'm merely observing this conversation...what is the aim...you're connecting a workstation to an AD server, yes? Just wondering, bro. | 08:55 |
| researcher123 | thanks somsip , I will try | 08:55 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: you would need to install previous version. you can extract that by analyzing the file somsip suggested... but there's no convenience "uninstall previous update" button. | 08:55 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: you can have a procedure of snapshotting/backing up the system before an update. then you just roll back. | 08:56 |
| researcher123 | sobersabre: how do I install previous version? | 08:56 |
| somsip | researcher123: now that's the difficulty... | 08:57 |
| researcher123 | sobersabre: is it to be installed by bootable pen drive previously created? | 08:57 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: depends on the pacakge. some packages you can reinstall: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138284/how-to-downgrade-a-package-via-apt-get | 08:57 |
| de-facto | researcher123 the previous versions might be still sitting in /var/cache/apt/archives/ but if you want future updates id recommend find out what went wrong with your updated versions | 08:57 |
| researcher123 | sobersabre: ok.thanks | 08:57 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: but for some packages it's not so easy, e.g. if you upgraded the kernel package and removed previous one... | 08:57 |
| sobersabre | and if you have some proprietary drivers lying around... | 08:58 |
| sobersabre | YankDownUnder: you are correct. | 08:58 |
| de-facto | researcher123 you also easily can choose different package versions and pin versions in GUI with synaptic btw | 08:58 |
| researcher123 | de-facto: thanks | 08:58 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: de-facto: "easily" is a relative term | 08:58 |
| researcher123 | hmm | 08:59 |
| de-facto | yeah ofc whats not ? :P | 08:59 |
| sobersabre | if it is easy to you to dig docs for every step you make, and you're unfamiliar, and you have unbound amount of time for this game, you're ok. | 08:59 |
| researcher123 | limited time and not much familiarwith docs | 08:59 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: try stack-exchange and stuff.... | 09:00 |
| researcher123 | whats that | 09:00 |
| sobersabre | but validate the dates are recent to your version. | 09:00 |
| sobersabre | researcher123: if you don't know what's stackexchange, you're in deep shite... | 09:00 |
| slima | Hello, I have problem with startup apps in sequence, I have bind9 and mysql; bind9 require mysql to start. So I added in /etc/init.d/bind9 # Should-Start: $network $syslog $mysql next I did update-rc.d bind9 defaults | 09:00 |
| slima | but after reboot, bind9 wont start | 09:00 |
| researcher123 | i can't connect to internet | 09:00 |
| sobersabre | sjmulder: so ... I was kinda hoping you're familiar with the matter of the subject.... | 09:01 |
| researcher123 | i will try reinstall | 09:01 |
| researcher123 | hat i can do correctly | 09:01 |
| sjmulder | sobersabre: I’m afraid not - it sounded like you installed the wrong package and maybe needed only apt-get remove or such but it's a fair bit more complicated than that, ha | 09:01 |
| de-facto | researcher123 dont forget backup though (even if you dont plan reinstall ;) | 09:02 |
| researcher123 | hmmm | 09:02 |
| researcher123 | i have my backup | 09:02 |
| researcher123 | thanks for the care | 09:02 |

| RavinduL | Hi! How do I enable the default mouse & touchpad driver on Ubuntu 15.10? I uninstalled the Synaptics driver (which I installed) because it didn't scroll properly with `sudo apt-get purge synaptik*` | 09:26 |
| RavinduL | Now my touchpad doesn't work | 09:26 |

| Xano | I have a Lenovo Bluetooth Keyboard (model KT-1255) on Ubuntu 15.10. It worked until yesterday. I assumed it stopped working because the batteries are empty, so I charged it. However, I can no longer find it when scanning for Bluetooth devices in Ubuntu. Many other devices appear, and the keyboard's light indicate it is searching for a connection. I'd he grateful for some tips on how to debug this, as I do not know where to start. | 09:27 |
| Xano | I did run all updates this week, so maybe that introduced new incompatibilities. | 09:28 |
| === cyphase is now known as Guest75379 | ||

| zetheroo | How is this possible? :D | 10:07 |
| Habbie | zetheroo, du -hs /var/log/lastlog | 10:07 |
| zetheroo | that gives: 44K/var/log/lastlog | 10:08 |
| Habbie | that's the actual size it uses | 10:08 |
| zetheroo | makes more sense ... | 10:08 |

| mcphail | platter: can be caused by a faulty cable or a loose motherboard power connection. I've also got a faulty motherboard which spawns those errors | 10:19 |
| mcphail | platter: best to check the drive in another machine with a different cable | 10:19 |
| platter | Good idea. I've previously switched the sata port around, but it did not make a difference. Btw. I've managed to mount the drive no with the 'noload' option | 10:20 |

| rena_ | Hi, I have Ubuntu 15.10 installed (not dual boot!). anyone had problems upgrading it without reinstalling everything? had a similar problem before and I was just wondering... | 10:30 |
| brym | rena_: i had 14.04.1 installed, and upgraded to 16.04 on release day. i've encountered several issues as a result of not waiting for the official upgrade release. | 10:31 |
| garcia | garcia | 10:32 |
| k1l_ | brym: still that NAS? please ask that NAS support or the support from the OS that NAS runs. | 10:32 |
| brym | rena_: i'm now looking to virtualize my existing desktop and reinstall 14.04.1. small steps though, as this itself is proving troublesome. | 10:32 |
| k1l_ | rena_: the upgrades get automated testings. 15.10 to1 6.04 should work. but be aware that there are issues for amd video card users. | 10:33 |
| brym | k1l_: the nas is only where i want to save the image. i appreciate i've gotten all the support i can from here regarding that. | 10:33 |
| k1l_ | brym: then boot a ubuntu usb stick and dd the hdd then. | 10:34 |
| brym | k1l_: i will. i just wondered if it were possible to do it with qemu-img create, that's all. i know i can convert using qemu-img after dd'ing. and loading a .raw shouldn't be a problem either. just a curiosity :) | 10:36 |

| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: lubuntu or xubuntu sure | 10:42 |
| leeyaa | just make sure you use some lightweight desktop env | 10:42 |
| RandomUser1234 | So should I install lubuntu? | 10:43 |
| RandomUser1234 | I have regular ubuntu 16.04 on the usb | 10:43 |
| lotuspsychje | leeyaa: perhaps reinstall apache? | 10:43 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: 512ram is bit low for unity | 10:43 |
| leeyaa | lotuspsychje: by reinstalling you mean apt-get install or completely ? | 10:43 |
| RandomUser1234 | lotuspsychje: so lubuntu should be good? | 10:43 |
| lotuspsychje | leeyaa: could try reinstall apache only perhaps | 10:44 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: its your choice really mate, some love lubuntu, some xubuntu | 10:44 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: checkout lubuntu and xubuntu website perhaps? | 10:44 |
| leeyaa | lotuspsychje: nope still segfaulting | 10:44 |
| RandomUser1234 | lotuspsychje: this is only for my grandma who needs internet to browse and skype to call family. | 10:45 |
| RandomUser1234 | lotuspsychje: as her windows xp is virus filled | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: lubuntu is the lightest in normal cases | 10:45 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: but i had 1 machine perform better on xubuntu | 10:45 |
| RandomUser1234 | so xubuntu is lighter? | 10:45 |
| RandomUser1234 | this laptop has DDR2 512 MB ram | 10:46 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: lubuntu is the lightest normally | 10:46 |
| k1l_ | !lubuntu | RandomUser1234 | 10:46 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: with 512mb ram Lubuntu is your only chance | 10:47 |
| lotuspsychje | leeyaa: try a 16.04 liveusb and test apache there perhaps? | 10:47 |
| RandomUser1234 | There's multiple alternate downloads for lubuntu | 10:48 |
| RandomUser1234 | can i get a recommendation? | 10:48 |
| Habbie | RandomUser1234, url? | 10:48 |
| leeyaa | lotuspsychje: nah ill just propose our devs to wait | 10:48 |
| leeyaa | or debug their crap | 10:49 |
| k1l_ | leeyaa: from 14.04 to 16.04 versions changed. make sure your setup still works with all the new version of apache, php, etc | 10:49 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: I used to upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 without issues. any new major changes with this release ? | 10:50 |
| leeyaa | i dont see major changes in httpd | 10:50 |
| k1l_ | leeyaa: that depends on the stuff in use. | 10:50 |
| leeyaa | but maybe mod_perl is different | 10:50 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: its a perl app | 10:50 |
| k1l_ | leeyaa: like there were major changes in php and mysql | 10:50 |
| leeyaa | not part of this node, only httpd and mod_perl | 10:51 |
| leoknudsen | Hi @everyone, is there anyone that might know how to use the --with-gettext flag while installing php gettext on a 14.04 machine? | 10:51 |
| k1l_ | then look at the errors you get and what exact issue it is. i am just guessing from your "it doesnt work" information | 10:51 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: it is a segmentation fault [ 1792.958926] /usr/sbin/apach[3479]: segfault at 5 ip 00007f8e5c043cfe sp 00007ffdb4abcf00 error 4 in Pid.so[7f8e5c043000+1000] and this is the strace output https://ghostbin.com/paste/4p7x7 | 10:52 |
| leeyaa | so nothing useful in logs except the segfault error in syslog | 10:52 |
| RandomUser1234 | which alternate lubuntu should I get? | 10:53 |
| RandomUser1234 | for a laptop that has 512 MB of ram | 10:53 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: what about lubuntu desktop 64bit.iso? | 10:53 |
| RandomUser1234 | the laptop isn't quad core | 10:53 |
| savig | hii guys | 10:53 |
| k1l_ | doesnt matter. as long as your cpu is 64bit go with 64bit OS | 10:54 |
| savig | installed windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 in my lap and can't access my partitioned drives in ubuntu. need to ntfsfix every time when using ubuntu | 10:54 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: he has 512mb memory, not a good idea to get 64 bit | 10:54 |
| savig | any solution?? | 10:54 |
| RandomUser1234 | k1l_: how can i tell if the cpu is 64bit? It's an Intel Celeron processor 530 | 10:54 |
| k1l_ | leeyaa: 32bit/64bit is not about amount of ram. | 10:54 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: 64 bit tends to use a bit more memory | 10:54 |
| SwedeMike | RandomUser1234: http://ark.intel.com/products/33100/Intel-Celeron-Processor-530-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB-Socket-P "Intel 64 YES". | 10:55 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: that is capable of 64bit | 10:55 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: at one of our offices we got 30% memory usage increase by just switching to 64 bit Ubuntu | 10:55 |
| k1l_ | leeyaa: and 32bit is dying. like chrome dropped 32bit builds. other distributions are following. so if you want a modern desktop, go for 64bit | 10:56 |
| de-facto | savig does windows use an ssd cache or such? | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | leeyaa: and cpu takes over heavy work also | 10:56 |
| RandomUser1234 | i hope this 512 DDR2 MB laptop can handle 64bit | 10:56 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: it will | 10:56 |
| savig | nopes , | 10:56 |
| leeyaa | k1l_: thats not a valid argument in his use case. anyway :) | 10:56 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: it can when the cpu can. so go for it | 10:56 |

| RavinduL | Hi! How do I remove a package `musique` that shows up in list.txt after I run `apt list > list.txt` as "musique/wily 1.1-2.1build1 amd64"? | 10:57 |
| RandomUser1234 | not sure what to download for 512 MB ram | 10:57 |
| SwedeMike | RandomUser1234: if you have any possibility to upgrade ram on that laptop, it'll be worthwhile for your usage. See if you can find some used memory somewhere, or something. | 10:57 |
| savig | Iam used lubuntu 15.10 earlier with no such problems | 10:57 |
| RavinduL | I tried `sudo apt-get remove musique`, with no success | 10:57 |
| de-facto | savig so what are you doing exactly, what does not work, and how do you expect it to work? | 10:57 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: use the "desktop 64bit iso" | 10:57 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04/release/lubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso | 10:58 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: or the 14.04 if you like | 10:58 |
| RandomUser1234 | lotuspsychje: But the desktop versions is saying you need 700 MB or more | 10:58 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: make a liveusb out ot the iso | 10:59 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: space on the cd/dvd. or what is the issue? | 10:59 |
| RandomUser1234 | Desktop (Graphical Installer)These versions are suitable for PC's with over 700 MB of RAM. Do not try to install 64 bit on a 32 bit machine. Installing 32 bit onto 64 bit is safe. These images require either DVD or USB for the image. | 10:59 |
| RandomUser1234 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu | 10:59 |
| savig | just enter the partitioned drives normally without the error message | 10:59 |
| RandomUser1234 | Alternate is a non-graphical installer image used for computers with less than 4.3GB hard disk space and below 700MB RAM. Use the alternate versions for non-standard setups | 11:00 |
| === Trystam is now known as Tristam | ||
| savig | in ubuntu | 11:00 |
| lotuspsychje | RandomUser1234: you dont need the alternate install | 11:00 |
| RandomUser1234 | I believe I do as I couldn't run a live version of regular ubuntu | 11:00 |
| de-facto | savig sorry cant help you if i dont understand what you are doing there | 11:01 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: the thing is: the desktop iso is a live system. on <700mb ram systems that is very slow. so they suggest to use the alternate install cd because that is a visual reduced installer like the old windows ones. | 11:01 |
| RandomUser1234 | k1l_: so i'll try the alternate | 11:01 |
| k1l_ | RandomUser1234: they both install the same system in the end. the live-system just needs more ram becuase it needs to load the live system into the ram. which the alternate installer doesnt. | 11:02 |
| savig | actually I done nothing.....installed ubuntu 16.04 and windows 10 in my lap.........the problem is can't mout the partitioned drives in ubuntu , show problem like windows is in hibernate or somthing..... | 11:02 |
| boxmein | savig: windows never shuts down fully anymore | 11:03 |
| RavinduL | savig, Disable fast startup within windows to fix that | 11:03 |
| boxmein | savig: shutdown is called "hybrid shutdown" and means that services/etc get hibernated while rest gets shutdown | 11:03 |
| boxmein | savig: there should be what RavinduL said, an option to turn that off and still enable full shutdowns in windows | 11:03 |
| de-facto | savig ah ok so you want to access your windows 10 partition from ubuntu? you need to "really shut down" windows for that, normally it goes into hilbernation mode (which does not write everything to disk) | 11:04 |
| boxmein | savig: thing is, in hibernation, the partition becomes waaaaaaay fragile | 11:04 |
| RavinduL | savig, http://acer-in.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37059/~/windows-10%3A-enable-or-disable-fast-startup | 11:04 |
| boxmein | savig: stuff like hiberfiles, memory locations etc have to stay the same for a successful boot | 11:04 |
| TomyWork | my kubuntu 14.04 machine is much slower than usual after a DNS outage. i have t on of tabs and consoles open, is there anything i can try short of a reboot | 11:04 |
| savig | Ohk | 11:04 |
| k1l_ | savig: boot to windows. then remove the "fast reboot" option on that partitions. so they get clean shutdown and are mountable by other OSs | 11:04 |
| boxmein | savig: well there's like one hiberfile but point remains | 11:04 |
| savig | but where should be that fast reboot option in windows 10 | 11:06 |
| radicate | So by accident I ran the command 'stop' | 11:06 |
| radicate | And ended up not being to log back again as it apparently corrupts the Xauthority? | 11:07 |
| beepbeep_ | I want to automate adding something to a users crontab, so I can't use crontab -e. How would I do this? | 11:07 |
| k1l_ | savig: something like this: http://www.windows10update.com/2015/05/windows-10-tutorials-66-how-to-enable-or-disable-fast-startup/ | 11:07 |
| de-facto | savig i dont know how to "really shut down windows", i just know per default it does hilbernation and fast reboot, but maybe you also can ask in #windows for that | 11:07 |
| savig | wow thanks for the link kill_ | 11:08 |
| savig | thanks guys , for the help | 11:09 |
| savig | I think It should fix the issue | 11:09 |

| Guest92238 | Hi All, I'm trying to install eclipse che on 14.04. What is the ubuntu equivalent command for "bin/che.sh run --remote:<ip>" | 11:27 |
| Ben64 | Guest92238: "bin/che.sh run --remote:<ip>" | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | Guest92238: although i have no idea what "eclipse che" is or why you're running a random sh file | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 11:29 |
| Guest92238 | Ben64: what is the remote ip here? | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | Guest92238: ? | 11:31 |
| brunch875 | Guest92238: It shouldn't differ from other distributions. As in "the ubuntu equivalent" should be "exactly the same" | 11:33 |
| brunch875 | unless your manual specifies otherwise | 11:33 |
| tonio | #meta-it | 11:33 |
| Guest92238 | brunch875: so here is the context. I has intalled the eclipse che on AWS ec2 ubuntu 14.04 instance. But I'm not able to access the eclipse che through the browser | 11:35 |
| OerHeks | Open source workspace server and cloud IDE. http://eclipse.org/che .. so you run it in docker? | 11:35 |
| OerHeks | .. che in docker on top of 14.04 on aws ? | 11:36 |
| Guest92238 | OerHeks: yes, in docker | 11:37 |
| Guest92238 | OerHeks: I had follwed this guide: https://eclipse-che.readme.io/docs/configuration-che-on-ec2 | 11:37 |
| OerHeks | why not docker direct ? https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/cloud/cloud-ex-aws/ | 11:39 |
| NetworkingPro | Hey everyone. | 11:41 |
| Guest92238 | OerHeks: it only talks about docker but not the eclipse che | 11:45 |
| wuu | NetworkingPro: hi | 11:45 |
| NetworkingPro | how are ya wuu ? | 11:46 |
| wuu | NetworkingPro: productive morning but running low on coffee -> emegency is at hand | 11:48 |
| NetworkingPro | wuu: I can understand that. I'm debating on coffee. I can't just drink it black, so I have to add sugary things to it. | 11:49 |
| * NetworkingPro is also trying to figure out why my android wear device wont show up in the UP app. | 11:50 | |
| Dulcin | Hi, I was on a fully updated Ubuntu 15.10 and ran do-release-upgrade this morning. Later it was on a locked screen and I was unable to log in, now the locked screen is frozen... when I check the processes I dont see any heavy processor usage... is it safe to reboot? | 11:52 |
| Dulcin | or should I wait or do something else? | 11:52 |
| wuu | NetworkingPro: nah everybody should drink it as they like - can't realy say this is the only way - my coffee version is dependent on multiple states ;) | 11:53 |
| Dulcin | My mouse still works in the lockscreen, but pressing the cancel button doesnt seem to do anything and the password field is disabled | 11:53 |
| mcphail | Dulcin: you're the 2nd person I've seen report that in here. Can you file a bug, please? | 11:53 |
| wuu | NetworkingPro: what UP app ? | 11:53 |
| Dulcin | Ok, what did the previous person do to fix it? | 11:54 |
| wuu | Dulcin: can you still switch to the virtual shells ? | 11:54 |
| mcphail | Dulcin: if you log into a virtual terminal and run "ps aux | grep update" and "ps aux | grep dpkg" it will show whether anything else is still running from the updater | 11:54 |
| Dulcin | wuu: I can | 11:54 |
| Dulcin | Ok ill do that | 11:54 |
| wuu | :) | 11:54 |
| mcphail | Dulcin: I had to do a similar thing as Compiz crashed during the update. I wonder if the same thing happens when the screen locks? | 11:55 |
| Dulcin | There's 3 processes with system-crash-notification | 11:55 |
| MrZone_ | What does the "do-release-upgrade" command do? | 11:55 |

| lelapin | Hellooooo | 11:56 |
| beliali | hello good people. im trying to run a binary, but am getting errors. checking strace i can see that its a permission issue (open("/filename.so.7", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)). The permissions look fine, ownership too. The weird part is that if i reboot the machine the issue goes away. I tried running ldconfig to no avail. A | 11:57 |
| beliali | ny help would be appreciated. | 11:57 |
| Habbie | beliali, literally "/filename.so.7" ? | 11:57 |
| beliali | :) no | 11:57 |
| lelapin | If any good adviser on Linux software and tweaks is available I could use some advice. Thx. :) | 11:57 |
| Habbie | lelapin, just ask your question in here | 11:57 |
| survietamine | hello, is there a recommend way to build deb packages? Xenial provides dovecot 2.2.22 and I'd like to have 2.2.24 which is available on http://xi.dovecot.fi/debian/dists/ but it will be replaced by latest nightly. | 11:58 |
| Dulcin | Ok I tried 'reboot' but it says 'Operation inhibited by 'UpdateManager' PID 2685 "xenial", user root), reason is "updating system". Guess I'll wait a bit longer | 11:58 |
| survietamine | So, what would be a "good strategy"? Can I get the xi sources packages and try to imitate it? | 11:58 |
| beliali | The actual filename is a symlink to the actual lib file. The symlinks and everything is fine. The point here being that if i reboot the machine there's no more permission problem. Thats why im stumped.. If more information is needed - tell me :) | 11:59 |
| Habbie | beliali, the real name, you showing that all the perms are okay, would be a good start | 11:59 |
| Ben64 | survietamine: good strategy is to use the packages from the ubuntu repository | 11:59 |
| mcphail | Dulcin: yep. Just check there are no processes asking for user input which will be blocking the update | 11:59 |
| mcphail | survietamine: hacking around with hand-rolled .debs is a good way to break your system entirely | 12:00 |
| beliali | Habbie | 12:00 |
| beliali | └── #ls -la /usr/local/ze-clamav/lib/libclamav.so.7 | 12:00 |

| beliali | open("/usr/local/ze-clamav/lib/libclamav.so.7", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) | 12:00 |
| Habbie | beliali, please use a pastebin and show permissions for all path components | 12:00 |
| beliali | yeah that makes more sense lol | 12:00 |
| lelapin | Thx Habbie . I have to translate - on the fly- in french an audio interview, and I wondered if there was an easier way than Ctrl-tabbing between Audacious and [any] wordprocessor or text editor so I can synchronize the sound I need to ear and the focus that should stay on the wordprocessor. | 12:01 |
| Ben64 | survietamine: then post a bug report about it | 12:01 |
| EriC^^ | beliali: check the dirs leading up to that file | 12:01 |
| Dulcin | mcphail: is there an easy way to check for those? | 12:01 |
| === comgot1 is now known as comgot | ||
| beliali | EriC yeah i did that. And once again - if i reboot the server the issue goes away just like that without any more changes | 12:02 |
| lelapin | I've seen that Audacious has many plugins, but I found none that could give a direct play/pause (at least) command without leaving WP's focus. | 12:02 |
| survietamine | Ben64: so, the maintainer of that package doesn't check dovecot announcements on dovecot's mailing sites? | 12:02 |
| Habbie | beliali, anything in dmesg before reboot? | 12:03 |
| survietamine | Ben64: because on previous LTS I'm using, it's somehow never got upgrades | 12:03 |
| beliali | Habbie, EriC http://p.defau.lt/?VaXSmmT3EDls45zLIB73ag | 12:03 |
| Ben64 | survietamine: not sure what you're saying | 12:03 |
| Habbie | beliali, and the path components? | 12:04 |
| mcphail | Dulcin: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1573952 for an example of what happened to me | 12:04 |
| survietamine | Ben64: when new stable releases of dovecot are available, the author publishs new features and bug fixes | 12:04 |
| beliali | Habbie how do i show them ? | 12:04 |
| Habbie | beliali, ls -ald /usr /usr/local /usr/local/ze-clamav etc. | 12:04 |
| beliali | right | 12:04 |
| Ben64 | survietamine: in ubuntu, versions of packages stay the same, to keep everything working together properly. bugs still do get fixed and backported or whatever | 12:04 |
| Habbie | beliali, are you in fact root when you do this? | 12:04 |
| beliali | Habbie http://p.defau.lt/?dr3eZfdWEiZo16QYEzBjlg | 12:05 |
| beliali | And yes, im root | 12:06 |
| Habbie | ok, anything in dmesg? or other logs? | 12:06 |
| Habbie | i'm thinking apparmor maybe | 12:06 |
| lelapin | Habbie, well, that doesn't seem to inspire anybody. ;) | 12:07 |
| Habbie | lelapin, it happens | 12:07 |
| Habbie | lelapin, audacity doesn't respect the media keys on your keyboard? | 12:07 |
| beliali | dont know what apparmor is. Habbie, should i be looking for smth specific in dmesg ? | 12:07 |
| Habbie | beliali, anything involving 'deny' or whatever around the time you try to run freshclam | 12:08 |
| crocodilehunter | hello. I want to help document ZFS more. can anybody point me in the righ5 direction? | 12:09 |
| lelapin | Habbie, No. I have an old Logitech kbd with MM keys actually, but only the special sound volume ones are active. All the extra function keys are not. (and if they were, would they go directly to Audacity if the focus is elsewhere ?). | 12:10 |
| beliali | nothing in dmesg, syslog or kern.log when getting the permission denied :/ Gonna do a reboot and check the logfile | 12:10 |
| Dulcin | ill be back | 12:14 |
| beliali | Nothing that stands out in dmesg when rebooting either. There's obviously a bunch of stuff which i have no idea what means but nothing obvious.. | 12:17 |

| MrZone | bulding from source is what? "make ." and then "make install"? | 12:40 |
| momomo | mcphail, maybe in the future, ubuntu will learn to **** handle such scenarios .. because people do need to use ppas because not everything is in the default repos | 12:40 |
| MrZone | momomo: If the repo is down then what is the problem that you are faceing? Just remove it? | 12:40 |
| momomo | and why have a software updater and a separate software center ... why not just have one place for all .. where you can view your updates as well | 12:41 |
| k1l_ | MrZone: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall | 12:41 |
| momomo | MrZone, i am not sure what the problem is | 12:41 |
| MrZone | k1l_: The more you know | 12:41 |
| MrZone | momomo: If you cannot reach or use the repo then you are going to need to remove it and find another one | 12:42 |
| k1l_ | MrZone: checkinstall will make it to a package (only for your system). so you could remove that more easily | 12:42 |
| MrZone | k1l_: Yeah i gathered that. How does it decide on what to name the package? | 12:42 |
| k1l_ | MrZone: good question :) maybe from the make scripts? | 12:43 |
| momomo | still no update dialog .. despite no errors | 12:44 |
| momomo | i am on xfce | 12:44 |
| momomo | but it should still work | 12:44 |

| n0had0 | its hanging on 80% for the last 10 minutes now | 12:52 |
| k1l_ | what problems? | 12:52 |
| n0had0 | ive changed the mirror a few times | 12:52 |
| n0had0 | if i use the updater i get an error to check my internet connection | 12:53 |
| n0had0 | so i resorted to trying through terminal | 12:53 |
| user807 | I've been googling a bit but only seem to find old search results. Is there a good way to get a Dash to also act directly as a calculator in 16.04? | 12:59 |
| noonehere_ | I'm using 15.10 and I have msgs whenever I update whether I want to upgrade to 16.04... how is the upgrade these days? | 13:03 |
| noonehere_ | I'm using kernel 4.2 so I guess it will be upgraded to 4.4? | 13:03 |
| OerHeks | download the iso, put it on usb, for safety, then hit the upgrade button | 13:04 |
| OerHeks | if you didn't have a backup of your data, it wasn't important | 13:05 |
| n0had0 | so, about that problem with thunderbird update | 13:05 |
| tubbln | does anyone have wifislax installed on ubuntu? | 13:07 |
| soverc | Is anyone using 16.04 server in a production capicity ? 14.04 is flawless for us. Since we use no openstack on the servers and I can upgrade python and Nginx myself why would I use 16.04 yet ? | 13:11 |
| Habbie | because it delays mandatory upgrades by 3 years | 13:12 |
| Habbie | because today it's python and nginx but later you might find yourself missing newer versions of more things | 13:12 |

| dadidado | when I tried the <alt> menu a long time ago, the menus presented expended to system ones when the keyword was not found in the current window | 13:15 |
| soverc | Habbie, understand about the support. Hesitant since it is new(ish) - Having said this issue outloud I will just stand up a few 16.04s and test against for 6months to a year and then just upgrade all. | 13:15 |
| Habbie | soverc, if everything works today it does make sense to give 16.04 a month or 6 indeed | 13:15 |
| Habbie | soverc, i don't like .0 versions either ;) | 13:15 |
| dadidado | for exemple, beeing in firefox and pressing <alt> then typing VPN would present networkmanager's VPN menu | 13:15 |
| dadidado | is there any way to have that back ? | 13:16 |

| noonehere_ | OerHeks, how do you put it on usb? Do you know? | 13:29 |
| platter | I'm currently running 'sudo fsck.ext4 -fyvc /dev/...' on the drive, which failed during dist-upgrade (and it found 41/0/0 errors). Should I have used -C0? Or is that just a progress bar? | 13:29 |

| soverc | anyone everu used http://www.howopensource.com/2014/09/simple-linux-backup-to-dropbox/ or anything like it. I dont care to populate and connect to dropbox, only to push backups to | 13:32 |
| platter | ah sorry, found the manual now for fsck.ext4, -C0 is just the progress bar. I misunderstood what's written here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilesystemTroubleshooting | 13:32 |
| de-facto | akis it depends on how your system is configures. normally system files are owned by root and normally users not in root group woudl only have read access (644). but that depends on the permissions, e.g. if some files are 777 or such everyone could write to them. you can see details by "stat /path/to/file" | 13:34 |
| n0had0 | can anybody download this or is it just me? | 13:35 |

| akis | de-facto: i gave this command: ln -s /usr/share/applications/{org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop} which i read somewhere. What kind (if any) of change could made on my system and how can i check it? after i gave the command the syste returned no error. | 13:36 |
| platter | Is there a good way to recover from a failed dist-upgrade to 14.04 (was hanging at a dpkg setup step, as far as I was told, does not boot linux now) while I currently have the drive in a different, running 14.04 system? | 13:37 |
| === taales is now known as tales | ||
| Powerless | does anyone know how to make the scanner from the brother dcp8065dn work? | 13:40 |
| de-facto | akis it expands those (the {...} ) then gives several arguments to the program "ln" which makes symbolic links with the "-s" option. normally it woudl do that in the current directory as the user you currently are. but as it expands it will link ln -s <source> <destination> see "man ln". in short if you were not root or used sudo, and normal user does not have write access in /usr/share/applications/ you shoudl be fine | 13:40 |

| skinux | Is it possible? | 13:42 |
| akis | de-facto: i was not root but only simple user and no sudo was at the begining of this command just to be sure that no change will effect my system. i was wondering because the system returned no error after i gave the command (wihout sudo) | 13:43 |
| _russo | platter: your best bet is to make a clean install media for 14.04 and do a new installation over your current one leaving all your documents intact... | 13:45 |

| n0had0 | i am trying to update thunderbird. on the main server i get Connection failed [IP: 91.189.91.26 80] with any au server i get hash sum mismatch. ive tried several things and searching ubuntu has led me to believe this is normally an issue occuring with old unsupported ppas however im on 14.04.4 LTS | 14:01 |

| aethelrick | blacknred0, grep "echos" it's results to the screen you can redirect these to a file or to another program using >, >> or | e.g. grep "something" somewhere > results.txt | 14:11 |

| davesidious | Hey folks - has anyone else had problems with lightdm not starting automatically after upgrading to 16.04 (with nvidia proprietary drivers)? | 14:14 |
| n0had0 | so two more software sources | 14:16 |
| n0had0 | the second one hanging on 79% a UK mirror | 14:16 |
| n0had0 | trying one in spain cause fuck it why not right | 14:17 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: is the download hanging? | 14:17 |
| n0had0 | that one did | 14:18 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: do you use some sort of proxy or vpn? | 14:18 |
| n0had0 | usually it completes to 100% then i get an error to check my net connection | 14:18 |
| n0had0 | nope no proxy or vpn, the farthest i went was changed the dns on my router to google dns | 14:18 |
| n0had0 | it has since been changed back to my isp and still the same problem | 14:19 |
| n0had0 | spanish mirror giving me hashsum mismatch | 14:19 |
| k1l_ | your disk isnt full? | 14:19 |
| k1l_ | i wonder why it hsould always stop at 80% on that package. | 14:20 |
| aep | is there a way to not execute post install scripts? | 14:20 |
| n0had0 | 50gb+ free | 14:20 |
| n0had0 | well ive triple checked software sources | 14:20 |
| n0had0 | afaik internet is working fine | 14:21 |
| k1l_ | the update should come from the security servers anyway. | 14:21 |
| n0had0 | yes this is what is making this abit important | 14:22 |
| n0had0 | im thinking of just removing thunderbird completely | 14:22 |
| k1l_ | can you please show the exact output from your terminal in paste.ubuntu.com ? | 14:22 |
| mcphail | n0had0: MTU set incorrectly? | 14:24 |
| n0had0 | automatic | 14:24 |
| n0had0 | k1l_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/16507039/ | 14:25 |
| de-facto | akis you can see the shell expansion (which depends on the files currently present) by "echo ls -s /usr/share/applications/{org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop}" just echoing back what it would run with such a command | 14:25 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: did you run "sudo apt update" first? | 14:26 |
| n0had0 | of course | 14:26 |
| n0had0 | i was switching between software sources | 14:27 |
| akis | de-facto: the system answered: ls -s /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop | 14:27 |
| n0had0 | so naturally updating as i went along | 14:27 |
| Trym | Need help configuring ufw firewall | 14:27 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: it didnt even load that file now. it just checked the hash of the old downloaded onbe | 14:28 |
| k1l_ | *one | 14:28 |
| n0had0 | ok hold on | 14:29 |
| de-facto | akis yeah seems fine then i guess, those files exist on my unmodified system too (regular files). i guess what was meant by that command is place a link to those from your current directory as it would when running "ln -s /path/to/file" which woudl create a symlink called "file" in your current dir pointing to /path/to/file | 14:29 |
| * riqdiiz Part | 14:30 | |
| thinky | hi there | 14:30 |
| thinky | why does ubuntu dims the screen while i am watching online movie, or youtube videos or listening music? | 14:30 |
| de-facto | akis actually what probably was meant in your guide was "ln -s /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop" and "ln -s /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop" placing links in your current directory "pwd" to those files | 14:31 |
| platter | How can I install (L)ubuntu 14.04 from a 13.xx USB boot medium? I'd like to keep the USB as is, it's a backup/fallback. | 14:31 |
| akis | de-facto: so it is concluded that no change was made and no symlink was made with this command? | 14:32 |
| Trym | Firewall ufw config help? | 14:32 |
| somsip | Trym: specify the problem and someone might know | 14:32 |
| Trym | Hi somsip . Want to deny all in and out. And open for some ip out from my server | 14:33 |
| nuex | i have a thinkpad x240 with ubuntu 14.04 and every time my laptop suspends audio stops working for my headphones (only) and it makes me sad | 14:34 |
| k1l_ | thinky: because your flashplayer doesnt block the dimming like real video players do | 14:34 |
| nuex | i've looked everywhere on the internet fiddling with different audio things and nothing works | 14:34 |
| nuex | has anyone else experienced this? | 14:34 |
| de-facto | akis jup i guess so since "stat /usr/share/applications" shows 0755/drwxr-xr-x which and owned my root GID, you can try "touch /usr/share/applications/file" as a normal user which woudl deny your write access to that location | 14:34 |
| === brian is now known as Guest52788 | ||
| akis | de-facto: touch: cannot touch '/usr/share/applications/file': Permission denied | 14:35 |

| n0had0 | k1l_ ive used autoclean and clean to try and remove the package | 14:35 |
| thinky | k1l_: but it happens while i am running video with VLC player too | 14:36 |
| ecojustice | knuex a keyword search term that generally helps with unrecognized audio devices is: "an asound.conf file" | 14:36 |
| akis | de-facto: so this is solved as i guess. one more...now...if echo doesn't return anything what does it mean? | 14:36 |
| eein | hello. how can one correct dependency errors when a package has the wrong version listed as a dependency. in my case ruby 1 is being used when ruby 2 should | 14:36 |
| ecojustice | not a solution, just an idea. standby so some ubuntu devs can help | 14:37 |
| BluesKaj | thinky, your power settings, dim screen default times etc | 14:37 |
| thinky | BluesKaj: it is good to dim the screen but i dont want it while i am watching or listening something | 14:37 |
| aethelrick | thinky, have a look in settings->brightness & lock... is the "dim" option set? | 14:37 |
| de-facto | akis echo returns what you give it as argument so "echo" just returns a newline but " echo 'some cool string' " returns you that string with a newline | 14:38 |
| thinky | yes it is on aethelrick | 14:38 |
| aethelrick | thinky, try turning it off and see if this helps | 14:38 |
| thinky | it is something ubuntu doesnt recognize while i am watching or listening that i am using the system | 14:38 |
| n0had0 | k1l_ http://paste.ubuntu.com/16507200/ | 14:39 |
| thinky | aethelrick: i dont want to disable screen dim option just it shouldnt dim while i am watching | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | thinky, it will if there's no input device activity , mouse or KB | 14:39 |
| thinky | mouse and keyboard is working without problem | 14:40 |
| aethelrick | thinky, ubuntu does not know you're sat there if you're not doing anything with the mouse/keyboard. If your app does not tell ubuntu to refrain from dimming then you must (or poke a key every now and again) | 14:40 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: your network got an issue with big files. | 14:40 |
| thinky | i already poke a key when it happens aethelrick but it is annoying.. | 14:40 |
| n0had0 | how can i be sure of this | 14:40 |
| k1l_ | where bis is 30mb :/ | 14:40 |
| k1l_ | *big | 14:40 |
| n0had0 | would downloading a larger file make a difference | 14:41 |
| de-facto | akis bash is very powerfull and can save you a lot of time, if you like you can read more about it on tutorials like those listed here http://wiki.bash-hackers.org/scripting/tutoriallist also there is always #bash on freenode :) | 14:41 |
| somsip | thinky: it's not a mobile phone that can detect when you're looking at it. Give it input, or change the settings | 14:41 |
| n0had0 | i just downloaded raspian | 14:41 |
| akis | de-facto: more specifically...after i gave the command we discussed already, i gave this command to in my /home/user/.local/share/applications/ : ln -s org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop file-roller.desktop but i didnt see any change or symlink, so i gave: ln -s org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop and again no change. Then i gave as advise me : echo ln -s org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop and no answer was given. what happe | 14:41 |
| akis | ned? | 14:41 |
| BluesKaj | thinky, then change the dim screen timing | 14:41 |
| somsip | n0had0: not supported here | 14:41 |

| === gms is now known as Guest48102 | ||
| BluesKaj | nickanon, yes , but make sure you use manual partitoning (something else) and set the mountpoint for /home without formatting it | 14:43 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: after that use "sudo dpkg-i packagename" to install that | 14:43 |
| thinky | windows recognizes pc is under use while i am watching | 14:43 |

| akis | de-facto: i was inside /home/user/.local/share/applications after cd | 14:43 |
| somsip | thinky: this isn't windows. It doesn't do that. As you've been told | 14:43 |
| n0had0 | it wont even download.... | 14:43 |
| thinky | ubuntu should fix this problem.. | 14:44 |

| de-facto | akis so you "cd /home/user/.local/share/applications/" then "ln -s /usr/share/applications/file-roller.desktop" and "ln -s /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop" then you can see those with "ls -l {org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop}" (note the last is LS) | 14:44 |
| n0had0 | but i just started downloading a 1gig file to see if its actually my net | 14:44 |

| k1l_ | n0had0: could be an dns or routing issue. | 14:45 |
| n0had0 | 500mb downloaded so far | 14:45 |
| n0had0 | 2 min left | 14:45 |
| n0had0 | would it be a problem with the website do you think? | 14:45 |
| n0had0 | can you download that file? | 14:46 |
| aethelrick | thinky, if I were you I would simply untick the box to dim the screen OR you could write a shell script to inhibit the screen saver when certain programs were running (like VLC etc) | 14:46 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: had no issues with http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird_38.8.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb | 14:47 |
| thinky | aethelrick: like caffein? | 14:47 |
| k1l_ | thinky: it is working on ubuntu for real media players. like vlc or totem and such. its just that rubbish flash players in browser that is not working. | 14:48 |
| thinky | never mind | 14:48 |
| akis | de-facto: both files are there. i know that, but no symlink was created (actually now i dont want to create any symlink), just wondering want changes (if any) was done. | 14:48 |
| thinky | thanks for your advices | 14:48 |
| k1l_ | thinky: and that is not a bug, its a feature. since you dont want to allow flash to have any access to your system since its a security issue | 14:48 |
| HackerII | ^ | 14:49 |
| aethelrick | thinky, yes, just like caffiene | 14:49 |
| thinky | but k1l_ nowadays online streaming websites using html5 instead of flash | 14:49 |
| k1l_ | thinky: not all. | 14:49 |
| thinky | yep not all | 14:49 |
| thinky | i just checked current website i was trying to watch lol | 14:50 |
| thinky | it is flash ! | 14:50 |
| thebishop | hi all. i'm reading that bumblebee is no longer the best solution for Optimus/Prime on Ubuntu. is that true? do i need to logout/login to use nvidia now? | 14:50 |
| de-facto | akis if you invoke ln like "ln -s /path/to/source" it creates a symlink under the same name in current directory (source), if you invoke it with one more argument you can create under different name like "ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/symlink" | 14:51 |
| k1l_ | thebishop: ubuntu uses the official nvidia driver: nvidia-prime since some time | 14:51 |
| thebishop | k1l_: two things about that. #1: it's limited by whatever version is packaged for apt install. #2: nvidia-prime can't do hybrid graphics properly. you can't selectively launch an app on the gpu. you have to logout and log back into an nvidia desktop session | 14:54 |
| BluesKaj | thinky, even youtube still uses flash with some videos despite their highly advertized switch to HTML5 | 14:54 |
| k1l_ | thebishop: afaik nvidia-prime can launch apps differently. but i cant test that since i dont have that hardware. | 14:56 |
| k1l_ | thebishop: and ubuntu ships nvdia-prime matching the nvidia drivers in the repos. | 14:56 |
| thebishop | k1l_: hmm, maybe it's been improved. i'll give it a shot. ok so it's still limited by the repos which are often a few releases behind nvidia | 14:57 |
| k1l_ | thebishop: you can still ask nvidia for support for their website drivers. | 14:57 |
| thebishop | :) | 14:58 |
| de-facto | thebishop you can try to use some of https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa?field.series_filter=xenial but those might be unstable and unsupported, so using those might not be the best idea | 14:59 |
| akis | de-facto: one more think, and thanks in advance for your time today. because i had some issues with thunar-archive-plugin i recently did sudo apt-get purge thunar-archive-plugin and then i create some custom actions to enable archive facilities through Thunar. My question is if sudo apt-get purge thunar-archive-plugin was deleted ay file that it has to do with this plug in or there is any chance for any left back? | 15:00 |
| n0had0 | k1l_ what was that command to install the .deb | 15:00 |
| thebishop | de-facto: looks promising, thanks | 15:00 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/packaname.deb | 15:01 |
| de-facto | thebishop again, you might be on your own using those though | 15:01 |
| n0had0 | cheers | 15:01 |
| thebishop | de-facto: i always am ;) | 15:01 |
| n0had0 | so i have a question | 15:01 |
| n0had0 | i could not download an update | 15:01 |
| n0had0 | until i tried through a vpn | 15:02 |
| n0had0 | wtf is happening | 15:02 |
| de-facto | akis "sudo apt-get purge <package name>" or "sudo apt-get remove --purge <package name>" will remove that package plus its configuration see "man apt-get" | 15:03 |
| n0had0 | anyone? | 15:04 |
| akis | de-facto: the same i know, but i just wanted a confirmation that no package's relevant files are still in the system | 15:05 |
| Glenn | How to setup multiple WLAN | 15:05 |
| k1l_ | either your routing is broken, or your dns is broken, or your firewall is making issues, n0had0 | 15:05 |
| de-facto | akis if that command succeeded, then yes the config for that package is gone | 15:06 |
| n0had0 | k1l_ what i dont get is it was only an issue with that one security file | 15:06 |
| n0had0 | literally nothing else | 15:07 |
| n0had0 | so im curious how you come to that conclusion | 15:07 |
| k1l_ | n0had0: the rest was not from the security servers | 15:07 |
| akis | de-facto: ok, nice to read this. thank you for all your kind advices. is there any command to see the last changes on the system? | 15:08 |
| platter | n0had0 is it possible the file was wrongly cached by your isp? | 15:09 |
| de-facto | akis "cat /var/log/apt/history.log" | 15:09 |
| n0had0 | wouldnt even know how to find out | 15:10 |
| n0had0 | so ill go with yes | 15:10 |
| n0had0 | 'probably' | 15:10 |
| de-facto | akis its very nice that you learn the terminal cli ways, those are very usefull even if you dont have a GUI, but there are also very good gui tools for doing that like "synaptic" for managing packages and many more things, and "gdebi" for installing <package>.deb if you happen to have downloaded a package. but always be carefull if you add things not in the default repos, you trust the builders of such packages with root access to your system | 15:12 |
| akis | de-facto: your advices are very useful indeed. how much time takes to the system to answer the command "cat /var/log/apt/history.log? | 15:13 |
| somsip | akis: depends how long it is | 15:13 |

| de-facto | akis instantly | 15:16 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: what drivers and why? | 15:16 |
| rofltech | Archeus_: same way you update the rest of your software usually if on proprietary you can also grab them from nvidia/ati too. | 15:16 |
| Archeus_ | inter graphic drivers | 15:16 |
| Archeus_ | intel | 15:17 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: they are inside the linux kernel. so you dont need to do stuff. | 15:17 |
| Archeus_ | wht ? | 15:17 |
| Archeus_ | i dont understand | 15:17 |
| Pici | Archeus_: why do you think you need to update your drivers? | 15:17 |
| Archeus_ | i need to play a game | 15:17 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: intel includes the drivers into the linux kernel. so you dont need to load stuff yourself. | 15:17 |

| Archeus_ | Description:Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS | 15:21 |
| Archeus_ | this is the outcome | 15:21 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: you are using the 15.04 backports kernel. you could use the latest enablement stack kernel and xorg | 15:21 |
| k1l_ | !hwe | Archeus_ | 15:22 |
| ubottu | Archeus_: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 15:22 |
| de-facto | Glenn afaik LAN takes priority over WLAN but you might be able to use multiple WLAN at once if your card supports it http://askubuntu.com/questions/488588/how-do-i-connect-to-multiple-wifi-networks | 15:22 |
| user_ | 123 | 15:22 |
| de-facto | Glenn but again i never did that, so i dont really know | 15:22 |
| Archeus_ | ah how to do tht stuff ? | 15:22 |
| nacc | k1l_: isn't that the latest (14.04.4)? 14.04.5 will come out post 16.04.1, iirc | 15:22 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: read the wiki page, ir explains it | 15:22 |
| nacc | k1l_: 14.04.4 is the wily lts | 15:22 |
| nacc | wily lts enablement stack | 15:23 |
| k1l_ | nacc: that numbers dont have anything to do with the kernel stack used. | 15:23 |
| Glenn | Ho now to connect the wlan to one off the two said | 15:23 |
| k1l_ | nacc: its just the new isos have the kernel. but a 14.04.1 iso installed will become a 14.04.4 with the updates. but will have the old kernel stack. | 15:23 |
| nacc | k1l_: really? that seems ... confusing and terrible. BUt i see their uname output now and will shutup :) | 15:24 |
| k1l_ | this is a bit confusing and i dont know how to solve that | 15:24 |
| de-facto | Glenn i guess just using settings > network (the network manager) on those? | 15:24 |
| nacc | k1l_: yeah, lsb_release is saying you are current with the repository, not that you have that particular stack installed; interesting | 15:24 |
| k1l_ | because most LTS users/admins will grab the pitchforks if you upgrade their kernel stack with regular updates :X | 15:24 |
| nacc | yep, absolutely | 15:25 |
| nacc | no, it makes sense, but then triage is a pain :) | 15:25 |
| Archeus_ | so i should follow those steps ? | 15:25 |
| Archeus_ | i mean this command ? | 15:25 |
| Archeus_ | sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-wily xserver-xorg-core-lts-wily xserver-xorg-lts-wily xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-wily xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-wily libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-wily | 15:25 |
| Danielh90 | Want web server do you guys recommend I use on Ubuntu? | 15:25 |
| Pici | Danielh90: Unless you need to do something special, apache works just fine. | 15:26 |
| nacc | Danielh90: the primary alternative is probably nginx | 15:26 |
| Danielh90 | nacc, is nginx simple to use? | 15:26 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: since i guess you run the 64bit desktop use the "multiarch" line | 15:27 |
| Archeus_ | ohk k | 15:27 |
| Pici | Danielh90: I find Apache's documentation to be much better than nginx's. | 15:27 |
| Glenn | Some network specialist here | 15:27 |
| Danielh90 | Pici, Ok | 15:27 |
| k1l_ | Archeus_: i guess you have enabled 32bit arch for wine and stuff? | 15:28 |
| Archeus_ | hmm | 15:28 |
| Archeus_ | idk ? | 15:28 |
| nacc | Danielh90: i think there is *more* apache documentation than there is for nginx. For basic setups, it's probably easiest to use apache. nginx has some more advanced features and performance, ostensibly. | 15:28 |
| Danielh90 | nacc, oh ok. I know you can setup a rtmp server with nignx. I may just start with Apache's web server and if I need to niginx learn it. | 15:29 |
| nacc | Danielh90: that seems reasonable :) | 15:29 |
| Danielh90 | nacc, and Pici Thank you for your help. | 15:30 |
| nacc | Danielh90: apache is a good technology to understand, and probably makes the migration to nginx easier | 15:30 |
| Archeus_ | btw k1l how to check for tht ? | 15:31 |

| screen22 | hello? | 16:28 |
| screen22 | plz help | 16:28 |
| screen22 | I did something with my mouse maybe... | 16:29 |
| lyze | !ask | screen22 | 16:29 |
| ubottu | screen22: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 16:29 |
| screen22 | and now the screen is moving with the mouse movement | 16:29 |
| lyze | which distro? | 16:29 |
| lyze | ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu ... and which desktop environment: unity, xfce, ... | 16:30 |
| lyze | screen22, ↑ | 16:30 |
| screen22 | xubuntu | 16:30 |
| screen22 | the default DW | 16:30 |

| lyze | press alt mwheel up or down | 16:30 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, did you see my paste? | 16:30 |
| nacc | jonny5000: on the phone, one sec | 16:30 |
| screen22 | lyze, thats not working? | 16:31 |
| lyze | screen22, any other mod. key (ctrl, shift or so)? Xfce has a default zoom feature | 16:31 |
| screen22 | the mouse wheel is a bit weird, sometimes when I'm on my browser when trying to scroll up or down, instead, I end up zooming in or out on the page | 16:32 |
| screen22 | and then having to do CTRL+ - or + depending on what I did | 16:32 |
| lyze | Ok then use ctrl + mwheel c; | 16:32 |
| screen22 | oh shoot, sorry... when you said alt + wheel I tried shift+wheel | 16:32 |
| screen22 | but yeah alt+wheel worked | 16:32 |
| screen22 | thanks | 16:32 |
| lyze | Ah nice | 16:33 |
| screen22 | do you have any suggestions as to why that zooming out/in thing is happening on web pages? is it that the mouse is old or??? | 16:33 |
| screen22 | and when I try to replicate what happened it doesn't work | 16:33 |
| screen22 | lyze, ^ | 16:34 |
| lyze | No, not really, sorry … perhaps the ctrl key gets sometimes pressed acidentally? or is stick? | 16:34 |
| === Bae is now known as middlefingers | ||
| screen22 | hmmm | 16:34 |
| screen22 | yeah that could be or has to be it | 16:34 |
| screen22 | because this laptop's ctrl key isn't that great I have to let go of it and press it again.... can't keep holding it and pressing other keys for a long time | 16:35 |
| jmadero | hi all - how can I run fsck if my system won't boot up? | 16:36 |
| jmadero | I believe I'm hitting this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/1339249 | 16:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1339249 in Linux Mint "boot hangs after starting enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices [OK]" [Undecided,New] | 16:36 |
| jmadero | but can't figure out how to run fsck if I can't actually get to a terminal | 16:36 |
| jon_ | nacc, i think i got bumped from xchat. this is the guy with the touchscreen issue | 16:38 |
| realtime | I just got a fresh host with 16.04 LTS. I want to turn on ufw. 'ufw enable' says it might block me off ssh. if I first do a 'ufw allow ssh' and then 'ufw enable', will it work and I'll keep connected, or the rules will be reset or something, losing my access on 22 and blocking me out of the server? | 16:39 |
| OerHeks | !fsck | jmadero but maybe mint has other features, ask their channel? | 16:40 |
| ubottu | jmadero but maybe mint has other features, ask their channel?: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 16:40 |
| jesus_ | ola | 16:40 |
| jmadero | OerHeks: I'm actually not running mint but it is indeed that bug, just verified that | 16:40 |
| jesus_ | alguien por aqui | 16:40 |
| lotuspsychje | !es | jesus_ | 16:40 |
| ubottu | jesus_: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 16:40 |
| OerHeks | jmadero, oh, i read "encrypted block devices" ,... not sure filecheck handles that.. | 16:41 |
| lotuspsychje | realtime: perhaps the #netfilter guys can help? | 16:41 |
| jmadero | OerHeks: looks like it's a combination of two problems - one is that system time was set way in the future, the other is soemthing about mounting the ntfs drive | 16:42 |
| * jmadero thinks that a Windows update did something funny | 16:42 | |
| realtime | lotuspsychje, thanks, I'll try there as well | 16:44 |
| lotuspsychje | !ufw | realtime | 16:44 |
| ubottu | realtime: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 16:44 |

| arunkumar413 | I'm supposed to run four commands listed here: http://pastebin.com/TvcXeu1T The first command opens a vi editor. How should I run the remaining commands | 16:57 |
| cryptomonk | how can you make a reverse ssh tunnel exposed to the outside world? | 16:57 |
| nacc | jon_: ok, one sec | 16:59 |
| nacc | k1l_: based upon http://pastebin.com/z6FwpLKv, jon_ is also on the vivid lts stack? | 16:59 |
| nacc | jon_: if so, i'd recommend moving to the wily hwe stack and see if it just fixes things | 17:00 |
| de-facto | arunkumar413 vi is a command line file editor you can also use nano for gedit for that, then put those export lines in that, save it and source it | 17:01 |
| arunkumar413 | de-facto: I should run these on the server. There is not gui editor | 17:02 |
| de-facto | then use either vi or nano | 17:02 |
| de-facto | arunkumar413 nano might be easier to start with, use arrow keys to go to end of file, type the export lines, hit Ctrl + O to writen hit Ctrl + X to save | 17:03 |

| Canopus | oh, seems that de-facto left the channel... here was my Xorg.0.log: http://pastebin.com/Rg5P2zqt he was asking for | 17:08 |
| Canopus | my keyboard and mouse are detected by they don't work in my graphical login | 17:12 |
| Canopus | any suggestion? | 17:14 |
| jmadero | Canopus: how about giving more info about your setup | 17:15 |
| jmadero | laptop/desktop/model/etc.. | 17:15 |
| Canopus | it's a raspberry pi 2. it had ubuntu 15.10. when I upgraded to ubuntu 16.04, happened this | 17:16 |
| jmadero | Canopus: running Ubuntu? or some spinoff? | 17:16 |
| Canopus | RPi 2 Model B+ | 17:16 |
| Canopus | to be more precise | 17:16 |
| jmadero | model of keyboard and mouse - also are you running Ubuntu itself or something like raspbian? | 17:17 |
| Canopus | I installed it last year from the official site of Raspberry Pi, an image of Ubuntu MATE designed for the RPi | 17:17 |
| jmadero | Canopus: probably get better assistance in the RPi chat | 17:17 |
| Canopus | both the mouse and the keyboard are Kolke | 17:18 |
| Canopus | I'll ask there.. | 17:19 |
| Canopus | it's a pitty because I had several daemons running.. | 17:22 |
| Canopus | and they're still running correctly | 17:22 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, i am back | 17:22 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, are you there | 17:22 |
| Canopus | now I can use it only through ssh | 17:22 |
| nacc | jonny5000: yeah | 17:22 |
| jmadero | Canopus: yes, the RPi is a unique beast | 17:23 |
| jmadero | I tend to say don't upgrade it unless you have a strong compelling reason to | 17:23 |
| Canopus | yeah, I shouldn't have upgraded.. | 17:23 |
| jmadero | Canopus: and always have a backup image available..... | 17:23 |
| jmadero | I try to image mine once a month | 17:24 |
| Canopus | although everything seems fine | 17:24 |
| Canopus | it's just that I can't use the keyboard and the mouse | 17:24 |
| jmadero | Canopus: yeah since it's not true Ubuntu (it's some spinoff build just for RPi) it's hard to get help here | 17:24 |
| jmadero | I've never thought of running Ubuntu on my Pi - I run a much more slim build | 17:24 |
| Canopus | jmadero, I used one of these images: https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/ubuntu-mate-for-raspberry-pi-3/ | 17:25 |
| jmadero | Canopus: yeah I'm saying you should have your own backup image | 17:25 |
| jmadero | especially prior to an upgrade | 17:25 |
| Canopus | how can I create a backup image? | 17:25 |
| jmadero | dd command | 17:25 |

| jmadero | yes we all understand that | 17:27 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, keep getting cut off... back now | 17:29 |
| nacc | jonny5000: so i thik you've got the vivid hwe lts kernel installed. Would be good to try with the wily stack (see that wiki page) | 17:30 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, thx. but what can explain the touchscreen disappearing from xinput. | 17:32 |
| nacc | jonny5000: alternatively, run `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade` and make sure you are current. | 17:32 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, just unrecognized or accounted for in the xinput list. and now that i look closely, the other numbers are off by one, so touchscreen was there before, then all of a sudden not | 17:32 |
| nacc | jonny5000: i don't know off the top of my head, but you said you suspend and resumed, i think the yogas have some issues in that space (particularly with the input devices). And if you rebooted, mabye you're in a different kernel now? | 17:33 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: sounds and smells like an ACPI issue if suspend is the trigger | 17:34 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, its funny, you know. i have experienced the touchpad not coming on after reboot, but the funny thing is that the workaround i identified is to suspend and then resume when that happens, then presto, toujchpad is there! so it actually does better in that regard waking up than booting up | 17:35 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, meaning, I reliably get all the inputs working when waking from sleep as opposed to boot up. even if the boot up didnt get them all right. | 17:36 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, i dont think suspend was the trigger necessarily | 17:36 |
| nacc | jonny5000: but getting different results from suspsend and cold boot implies probably ACPI or other low-level issues | 17:37 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, TJ- ahh. now i understand that i dont understand! | 17:37 |
| jonny5000 | what does someone do when there is a low level ACPI issue? | 17:37 |
| nacc | jonny5000: does your device get detected by the kernel anymore (`dmesg | grep -i elan`, iirc | 17:38 |
| neyderdroid | hello there | 17:38 |
| nacc | jonny5000: check for BIOS updates, sometimes if it's actively being worked on upstream (e.g., skylake support), newer versions may have better support (which is another reason to try the latest hwe stack, potentially) | 17:38 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: The *most* common cause is a firmware bug done deliberately by the manufacturer. They write the ACPI DSDT code to only enable all features when the host OS is Windows. We have a workaround that sometimes works which is to have the Linux kernel tell the DSDT it is actually Windows. | 17:40 |
| neyderdroid | ping jose | 17:41 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: for example, on the PC I'm using now, an Asus T300CHI, if that isn't done the ACPI DSDT does *not* enable power for the touchscreen interface | 17:41 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, TJ- how can i do either of those... trick the bios or use a different hwe | 17:41 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: you want to give it a go now? | 17:41 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, sure | 17:42 |
| nacc | jonny5000: the link i pasted before shows how to use the hwe stacks, you can also try the bios trick | 17:42 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: "pastebinit <( sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep -i windows )" | 17:42 |
| nacc | jonny5000: my thinking right now is that your system just "happened" to work before ... | 17:42 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, if it doesnt involve extensive downloads... i am on an airplane with limited bandwidth and power | 17:42 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: no downloads, simply editing the kernel command line that GRUB uses | 17:43 |
| egsome | I'm thinking in creating a simple application which hooks into Apport to trach program crashes and retrieve possible solutions from AskUbuntu and other websites. What do You think about that ? | 17:43 |
| nacc | TJ-: that's basically extracting the valid windows OSI fields? | 17:43 |
| egsome | *track | 17:43 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: only need the pastebin to see which Windows strings the DSDT recognises | 17:43 |
| TJ- | nacc: yup | 17:43 |
| nacc | egsome: i think it's a great idea if it can be done :) | 17:44 |
| nacc | egsome: within reason for "other websites" | 17:44 |
| nacc | egsome: although then you get into the questions of "where is data about my computer going?" | 17:44 |
| egsome | nacc, I can do it, but would like to know how people think about it before proceeding. | 17:44 |
| nacc | egsome: this isn't really the right place for that -- maybe #ubuntu-devel ? | 17:44 |
| egsome | nacc, It will be opensource application, anybody can see the code or build it. | 17:44 |
| TJ- | egsome: that's what launchpad does though, it collates identical apport crash reports into the same bug | 17:44 |
| nacc | egsome: that, generally, isn't the issue | 17:45 |
| nacc | egsome: but you'll see once you work on it :) | 17:45 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, http://pastebin.com/7xeSC5G3 | 17:45 |
| egsome | TJ-, My idea is about getting possible solutions from AskUbuntu and other websites, instead of just reporting the bug. | 17:45 |
| egsome | nacc, Maybe :), And thanks for #ubuntu-devel, just posted the same there. | 17:46 |
| TJ- | egsome: so, have your application use the Launchpad API to hunt down the reports and bugs, and then correlate them to AskUbuntu and other places? I'd love to see that kind of functionality | 17:46 |
| rahul_kummi | the man pages in my system have gone weird some time now | 17:47 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: so it looks as if the latest would be "Windows 2012" - generally the DSDT code enables the most functionalty for the latest version it supports | 17:47 |
| nacc | rahul_kummi: be more specific? | 17:47 |
| rahul_kummi | like thwy just mention the description to the options but not the options | 17:47 |
| egsome | TJ-, That wouldn't be extending for Apport then, it would be a parallel website ? | 17:48 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: "sudo sed -i 's/^|(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=".*\)"/\1 acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=\\"Windows 2012\\" "/' /etc/default/grub " | 17:48 |
| nacc | rahul_kummi: can you pastebin an example? | 17:48 |
| rahul_kummi | yeah i am posting a screenshot | 17:48 |
| TJ- | egsome: or a local tool that queries a remotely located database (doesn't have to have a 'web' site although that's a nice addition) | 17:48 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: hold on! typo! | 17:49 |
| jonny5000 | too late! | 17:49 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: "sudo sed -i 's/^\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=".*\)"/\1 acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=\\"Windows 2012\\" "/' /etc/default/grub " | 17:49 |
| rahul_kummi | nacc:http://imgur.com/1f97FU2 | 17:49 |
| jonny5000 | nacc, done | 17:50 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: oh, it probably failed. do "grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= /etc/default/grub" and it should still be empty | 17:50 |
| nbusrone | how do I disable screensaver for certain application running at background ? like chrome browser watching youtube ? | 17:50 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, It returned this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=" acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=\"Windows 2012\" " | 17:51 |
| nbusrone | how do I limit my network bandwidth ? | 17:51 |
| glass | should be under system settings and then maybe privacy and or display | 17:51 |

| === badon_ is now known as badon | ||
| glass | and what are you wanting to limit the total download or total upload? | 17:51 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, now what | 17:51 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: oh, you must have typed the command correctly despite my typo!! Anyhow, that is correct so now do "sudo update-grub" to write the setting to GRUB's config file | 17:52 |
| nacc | OerHeks: thanks | 17:52 |
| rahul_kummi | oh okay,than you OerHeks | 17:52 |
| === InfoTest1 is now known as InfoTest | ||
| OerHeks | rahul_kummi, file a bug against it, not sure what terminal/theme that is | 17:52 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, done | 17:52 |
| jonny5000 | next? | 17:52 |
| rahul_kummi | sure | 17:53 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: next time the PC reboots it'll add that to the kernel command-line. After booting if you do "cat /proc/cmdline" you'll see it. If you check 'dmesg' output you should also see a line similar to "ACPI: Added _OSI(Windows 2012)" | 17:53 |
| rahul_kummi | OerHeks, | 17:53 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: then you test and find out if the hardware behaves any better with that set | 17:53 |
| egsome | TJ-, Then what is the difference between this idea and the one I told at the beginning ? I mean if it is just a local tool that queries a website, it is the same ! | 17:53 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, rebooting now | 17:54 |
| TJ- | egsome: querying a remote database doesn't require a web-site, so its fast to test and develop for. A local tool that integrates with apport and the launchpad API to find bugs *and* related articles with possible workarounds/fixes would be a first step to proving it, *then* build a web-site around it (developing a useful web-site will likely take longer than getting the backend tooling working well) | 17:55 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, no change | 17:57 |
| TJ- | egsome: the thing is with good bug-support tooling the articles it links to need to be high quality and relevant, which imples some curating too. Without that, too many poor or irrelevant results and people would stop using it. | 17:57 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: have you confirmed the ACPI OSI_ value is set ? | 17:57 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, any hope that this just resolves when i do the updates that i have been neglecting for the last 2-3x i was reminded? | 17:58 |
| Caleb-- | hi. ever since i upgraded to 16.04, i've been having lots of sudden system reboots. sometimes it reboots, i login, and it reboots immediately. i have no idea how to debug as i don't see anything in the system logs | 17:58 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: "dmges | grep _OSI" | 17:58 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: possibly, as was said earlier, moving to the latest HWE kernel may help, which is Wily or Xenial now I think | 17:58 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: "dmesg | grep _OSI" (grrr, typos!) | 17:59 |
| nacc | TJ-: wily (xenial's will be available with 16.04.1 i thnk) | 17:59 |
| TJ- | Caleb--: waht kind of reboots? immediately to the firmware POST messages, or freeze requiring manual reboot? | 17:59 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, yes it said added windows 2012 | 17:59 |
| TJ- | jonny5000: OK, so that hasn't cured it then. | 18:00 |
| jonny5000 | TJ-, will updpating to the newest hwe kernal occur in the course of this regular managed update or do i need to do something special? | 18:00 |

| MIJ | oops | 18:06 |
| MIJ | TJ-: i wanted to know if its better to use CFQ scheduler on my Ubuntu desktop system? | 18:08 |
| TJ- | MIJ: didn't we have this conversation a few days ago, and I recommended the -lowlatency kernels? | 18:10 |
| MIJ | TJ-: yes i am using low latency kernel, but wanted to know the diff between low latency and generic plus which scheduler is used in both and i also wanted to try CFQ sched on generic | 18:11 |

| johntittor2000 | does anybody know how to create app folders on the gnome overview? | 18:13 |
| johntittor2000 | I tried with gnome-software, but it just doesn't work... no idea why | 18:13 |
| TJ- | MIJ: lowlatency implements preemptive multitasking whereas generic is essentially cooperative multitasking (that's a very gross simplification but should help understand the differences) | 18:13 |

| TJ- | seems to be my night! | 18:15 |
| Joaquin-V | is there a way to get thunar to mount my MTP devices | 18:16 |
| Jakey3 | whats the way to encrypt a single file on ubuntu | 18:16 |
| Jakey3 | with a secure encryption | 18:16 |
| xangua | Joaquin-V: what ubuntu release? | 18:16 |
| Jakey3 | through terminal | 18:16 |
| nacc | Jakey3: gpg? | 18:17 |
| TJ- | angel1604lts: is the Bluetooth device still showing and usable? | 18:17 |
| ich_dien | Hello ll | 18:17 |
| OerHeks | Jakey3, right mouse: compress > see options with password and encrypth method | 18:18 |
| ich_dien | I attempted to install claws-mail but can't seem to open/find it | 18:18 |
| ich_dien | I DL'd tar, installed dependencies, ran ./config with no error, then successfully makefiled | 18:19 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: generally "dpkg -L <package-name>" will show where all the files are | 18:19 |
| ich_dien | but I can't run it, says its not installed | 18:19 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: aaah, not an Ubuntu package. | 18:19 |
| OerHeks | !info claws-mail | 18:19 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, what does that mean?? | 18:20 |
| ubottu | claws-mail (source: claws-mail): Fast, lightweight and user-friendly GTK+2 based email client. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.13.2-1ubuntu1 (xenial), package size 1374 kB, installed size 4448 kB | 18:20 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, is in repo | 18:20 |
| Jakey3 | nacc, OerHeks thanks | 18:20 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: if you're building from source then you're the only one that knows how you configured its build system. Did you use "sudo make install" ? did it perhaps install under /usr/local/ ? | 18:20 |
| nacc | ich_dien: why can't you use the one from ubuntu? | 18:20 |
| EriC^^ | Jakey3: gpg -c /path/to/file will encrypt it with a symmetric cypher so you can decrypt it later | 18:20 |
| Joaquin-V | xangua: xenial minimal | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | latest is 3.13, so we are up2date | 18:21 |
| ich_dien | nacc, you mean why didn't i use software center? | 18:21 |
| Jakey3 | EriC^^, thanks | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | http://www.claws-mail.org/releases.php | 18:21 |
| nacc | ich_dien: yeah | 18:21 |
| ich_dien | nacc, because I wanted the latest version | 18:21 |
| EriC^^ | Jakey3: no problem | 18:21 |
| nacc | ich_dien: presuming you had a good reason, what TJ- said :) | 18:21 |
| OerHeks | your reason is oke, only your download should match our package :-D | 18:22 |
| ich_dien | I'm new to this so used info from https://www.maketecheasier.com/install-software-from-a-tarball-in-linux/ | 18:22 |
| Jakey3 | nacc, EriC^^, OerHeks; I saw this to http://askubuntu.com/questions/160253/encrypting-decrypting-a-single-file-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/160334 | 18:22 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, I don't know I just followed instructions | 18:22 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, Do you have to run m | 18:22 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, Do you have to run "make install" after running make?? | 18:23 |
| nacc | uh, yes | 18:23 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: if you don't know these things I'd suggest building your own software is not something you should be doing, there's a reason Ubuntu devs package and build over 50,000 packages | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | Jakey3: i think gpg -c is better cause openssl might not be installed on all systems, plus gpg -c uses aes-128 | 18:23 |
| OerHeks | !build | 18:24 |
| ubottu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 18:24 |
| Jakey3 | EriC^^, is there a way to make it aes 256 with gpg | 18:24 |
| camroncade | morning, I'm currently booting into google-chrome (in kiosk mode) instead of the default (gnome-session) using a custom xsession, and I'm wondering if any of you have ideas of how I could trigger it to boot into a different session... | 18:24 |
| EriC^^ | yeah probably | 18:24 |
| EriC^^ | Jakey3: des3 is 56-bit | 18:24 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, Well thats contradictory to much of the advice found online that explicitly say to DL tar's when appropriate | 18:25 |
| Jakey3 | thanks for the info | 18:25 |
| ich_dien | in this case I just wanted the latest version | 18:25 |
| GnomeKris | Anyone know why The Witcher 2, when played through steam, only loads the tutorial. It closes out if I try to go to story mode and skip the tutorial. It closes if I try to play through the tut and then go to story. | 18:25 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: but *why* ? is the version in the repo missing some must-have feature? | 18:25 |
| GnomeKris | Oh, i'm on Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 btw | 18:26 |
| xangua | Which you were told it's already in ubuntu repository ich_dien | 18:26 |
| OerHeks | "advice found online that explicitly say to DL tar's when appropriate" is not our policy | 18:26 |
| Soul_Sample | GnomeKris: ouch, I've just installed it the other day but haven't tried it yet. I hope it's not a common issue :/ | 18:26 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, much of what is in repo seems out of date. To a noob this is confusing | 18:26 |
| OerHeks | ich_dien, not true for clawsmail :-) | 18:27 |
| xangua | Joaquin-V: you mean xubuntu minimal? Don't know what might be missing... Mtp working fine in a regular xubuntu install here | 18:27 |

| nacc | !latest | ich_dien | 18:27 |
| ubottu | ich_dien: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 18:27 |
| ich_dien | OerHeks, yes it is | 18:27 |
| Joaquin-V | xangua: no, I mean minimal ubuntu | 18:27 |
| GnomeKris | Soul_Sample, apparently, the game has a few different issues with running on 14.04, but nothing I've found in googling has been related to my issue | 18:27 |
| Joaquin-V | as in the minimal 40MB ISO that only installs the core system | 18:27 |
| ich_dien | ubottu, Then why didn't someone just say so | 18:27 |
| ubottu | ich_dien: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:27 |
| nacc | ich_dien: "someone" did, by only giving you the option to install one version in `apt` | 18:28 |
| nacc | ich_dien: if you go and do something (*anything) as root -- you are choosing to alter your system, sometimes within the confines of support, sometimes explicity going outside those confines | 18:28 |
| OerHeks | ich_dien, no, see this http://www.claws-mail.org/releases.php = 3.13 | 18:28 |
| OerHeks | !info claws-mail | 18:28 |

| nacc | arguably some case even as your current user | 18:28 |
| OerHeks | hopla | 18:28 |
| nacc | ich_dien: are you on trusty? (14.04) | 18:29 |
| Soul_Sample | GnomeKris: how can I reproduce it? just skip the tutorial? | 18:29 |
| nacc | ich_dien: 16.04 has the latest version (3.13.2); 14.04 does not but it's also an older release | 18:29 |
| camroncade | does anyone here have experience with xsession and has a moment to chat about a unique challenge? | 18:29 |
| GnomeKris | It does it weather I skip the tut, or play through. Same thing happens either way. Plus, it doesn't save anything, so I can't load a save file. | 18:30 |
| ich_dien | nacc, the version in my repo is 3.9.3 | 18:30 |
| Soul_Sample | GnomeKris: I'll go and try now | 18:30 |
| nacc | ich_dien: are you on 14.04 (lsb_release -a) | 18:30 |
| ich_dien | nacc, the new version is 3.13.x | 18:30 |
| OerHeks | ich_dien, if wou want the latest, why not the latest LTS? | 18:31 |
| nacc | ich_dien: if yes, that is the version supported on your system ... | 18:31 |
| RandomUser1234 | My usb is only set to READ ONLY, and I tried formatting it and repartitioning it. And even umounting and then dosfsck. Neither worked. | 18:31 |
| ich_dien | nacc, look I'm just telling you what I see in software center | 18:31 |
| Soul_Sample | GnomeKris: oops, I deleted the game :S | 18:31 |
| Soul_Sample | GnomeKris: I was sure it was installed | 18:32 |
| nacc | ich_dien: and i'm telling you why? | 18:32 |
| ich_dien | nacc, I am on the latest LTS | 18:32 |
| nacc | ich_dien: you installed an OS from 2014 (regardless of when you installed it), why would you think it had the latest versions of software on it? beyond the lts enablement stacks, that's not really something that happens. You need to change versions of the OS to get newer versions of the software, generally | 18:32 |
| ich_dien | 14.04 | 18:32 |
| nacc | ich_dien: that's not the latest LTS | 18:32 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: latest LTS is 16.04 | 18:32 |

| === jessee is now known as jessee- | ||
| ich_dien | nacc, then I have other problems because it says my system is up to date | 18:33 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: that's why we're confused why you were building the same version as is in the archive | 18:33 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, makes way more sense | 18:33 |

| ich_dien | nacc, yes. Checked before I did anything today | 18:34 |
| nacc | ich_dien: right, but that doesn't mean you are on the latest LTS? | 18:35 |
| ich_dien | nacc, Yes I think we are all aware of this now | 18:35 |

| FourLaps | Hey guys I'm having some issues, is this the right place to ask for help? | 18:35 |
| nacc | ich_dien: did you `make install` ever? | 18:36 |
| genii | Usually with make uninstall or make dist-clean | 18:36 |
| ich_dien | nacc, I tar -zxvk, then ./config then I make and it said successful in terminal | 18:37 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: generally, when using the source, its done in its own sub-directory, so deleting that will get rid of it. If you previously used the sources's 'install' mechanism then you'd need to 'uinstall' the same way first | 18:37 |
| nacc | ich_dien: if all you did was `make`, then just delete the source | 18:37 |
| squinty | FourLaps, if the problems are ubuntu related then yes | 18:37 |
| nacc | ich_dien: or keep it, it's just source and has no real impact to your system | 18:37 |
| FourLaps | Is anyone else having issues with Control+Alt+f1-6 on 16.04? it seems my terminals arent there anymore | 18:37 |
| ich_dien | nacc, meaning the the stuff in ~/Downloads?? | 18:37 |
| fermulator | anyone know what the channel is for landscape (canonical) related items is? | 18:38 |
| ich_dien | nacc, Or do I make install now?? | 18:38 |

| ich_dien | nacc, If I do do I have to make again? | 18:39 |
| nacc | ich_dien: do you want to install from source or not? | 18:39 |

| TJ- | RandomUser1234: have you tried writing zeros to the entire device? | 18:40 |
| nacc | ich_dien: did you answer before (sorry if i missed it) why you want the latest version? | 18:40 |
| RandomUser1234 | TJ-: I'll try that instead of quick | 18:41 |
| ich_dien | nacc, yes but I am only on 14.04 so can't get latest from repo | 18:41 |
| nacc | ich_dien: that's not a reason? | 18:41 |
| RandomUser1234 | TJ-: That's going to take too long though | 18:41 |
| nacc | ich_dien: why do you want the latest? | 18:41 |
| ich_dien | nacc, did most of legwork on tar stuff, so do I just "make install"? | 18:41 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: unfortunately although the project advertises it has a PPA, it doesn't look like anyone updated it since 2014 | 18:41 |
| ich_dien | nacc, for security, stability, etc. | 18:42 |
| nacc | ich_dien: that's what a distribution provides ... | 18:42 |
| TJ- | RandomUser1234: you want it fixed ? writing zeros tells the device firmware it can remap bad blocks | 18:42 |
| nacc | ich_dien: going *outside* the distribution is more likely to break things, in that you have no way of getting automatic security updates to your version anymore | 18:42 |
| fermulator | OerHeks thanks, it directed me to #ubuntu-server for general inquiries. Got it. | 18:43 |
| ich_dien | nacc, but you just said no one is updating that old ppa anyway | 18:43 |
| ducasse | ich_dien: installing from source puts the responsibility on *you* to keep it patched/upgraded. | 18:43 |
| nacc | ich_dien: i didn't mention any ppa | 18:43 |
| nacc | ich_dien: and a ppa is not the archives | 18:44 |
| ich_dien | nacc, sorry that was TJ | 18:44 |
| ich_dien | nacc, what do you mean archives? | 18:44 |
| nacc | ich_dien: if you are on 14.04 and don't have a feature-driven reason to upgrade a piece of software, i'd recommend to just use the version in 14.04 | 18:44 |
| nacc | ich_dien: e.g., archive.ubuntu.com, the official Ubuntu archives. I believe TJ- mentioned the PPA in that perhaps a claws developer or nice person was providing side-builds of the latest versions in a PPA (!ppa for details), but that would not be from Ubuntu and not supported officially (except by, perhaps, the PPA owner) | 18:45 |
| JFlash | hi, I have installed mariaDB on 15.04 and I'm trying to run it | 18:45 |

| ich_dien | nacc, but from 3.9.x to 3.13.x is a HUGE jump!! | 18:46 |
| JFlash | someone in mariadb asked me to paste an error log and this is what I found: | 18:46 |
| TJ- | nacc: ich_dien correct, on the claws-mail download page they prominently list their PPA as 'latest' and don't mention that its in the Ubuntu archive itself | 18:46 |
| JFlash | http://pastie.org/10844159 | 18:46 |
| egsome | JFlash, Which command did You execute ? | 18:46 |
| ich_dien | nacc, so you are saying ANYTHING outside of software center is no good/unsafe?? | 18:47 |
| xangua | metroins: that depends what you mean by unity scrollbars, since 16.04 unity uses gnome scrollbars again | 18:47 |
| nacc | ich_dien: "HUGE" for various definitions, sure. What's your point there? | 18:47 |
| JFlash | egsome, I tried a couple | 18:47 |
| JFlash | start service and just start | 18:48 |
| JFlash | sorry the error is unknown job | 18:48 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, If you download from SC does the program have an update feature or something like it? | 18:48 |
| nacc | ich_dien: I'm saying anything outside of the software center (really the ubuntu archives is what we mean) is not supported by Ubuntu. So you have to support yourself if you go down that path | 18:48 |
| JFlash | not unkwnown service | 18:48 |
| TJ- | ich_dien: you're a pain! I've got to git clone it now and try it out since it looks really good and I really don't want to miss out on the last 3 months commits! | 18:48 |

| metroins | xangua: I am on 14.04 | 18:49 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: what issues? | 18:49 |
| Jakey3 | what happens if you use gpg to encrypt a message | 18:49 |
| FourLaps | I cant access them with the keyboard shortcut TJ- | 18:50 |
| Jakey3 | but your key expires before you open it? | 18:50 |
| TJ- | Jakey3: you forget the passphrase and kick yourself? | 18:50 |
| Jakey3 | i would kick myself | 18:50 |
| ich_dien | nacc, Okay that sounds less discouraging | 18:50 |
| Soul_Sample | can anyone check out this video and let me know if it happens to them as well? | 18:50 |
| Soul_Sample | https://youtu.be/sijzTOnO2Dk | 18:50 |
| Jakey3 | does the experiation of the key stop you from unecrypting the file | 18:50 |
| Jakey3 | ? | 18:51 |
| ich_dien | TJ-, Okay fair enough | 18:51 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: from the GUI? that is strange. You're holding down Ctrl+Alt+F1 at the same time *and* you've checked your keyboard doesn't have some alternate operations enabled for the Fx keys? | 18:51 |
| xangua | metroins: installing dconf editor and disable them, or just uninstall the unity scrollbars packages should work | 18:51 |
| === nobita is now known as Nobita93 | ||
| FourLaps | TJ- Yup. I made sure that the function keys acted as they should and that all of my keys work. I even tried another keyboard... | 18:52 |
| nacc | ich_dien: but the questions you were asking before, about whether you need to run `make install`, imply strongly that you should really not go down that route | 18:52 |
| TJ- | Jakey3: no, expired keys can still be used | 18:53 |
| nacc | ich_dien: because that's a fairly basic question wrt. building from source | 18:53 |
| JFlash | anyone can help? | 18:53 |
| FourLaps | Soul_Sample I dont use either Inkscape or unity so I'm afraid I'll be of no help | 18:53 |
| Jakey3 | TJ-, what the pint of the expiration then | 18:53 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: that sounds rather like you've remapped the Ctrl or Alt keys to do something else | 18:53 |
| Soul_Sample | FourLaps: no problem, thanks for checking | 18:53 |
| Jakey3 | *point | 18:53 |
| nacc | JFlash: you sort of ignored my response of 15.04 is eol | 18:53 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Control + W or Alt+Tab work as expected | 18:53 |
| nacc | !eol | JFlash | 18:53 |
| ubottu | JFlash: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 18:54 |
| TJ- | Jakey3: so if the passphrase for unlocking the key is forgotten, the key will expire and can be replaced with another that has the same User ID, email address(es), etc. | 18:54 |
| ich_dien | nacc, What is that supposed to mean? How am I supposed to learn if I'm not trying things out?? | 18:54 |
| JFlash | nacc, sorry if it seems I ignored. I know it's eol, thanks for the advice but I will not be able to upgrade right now | 18:54 |
| nacc | JFlash: right, but that means not supported any longer (and not here) | 18:55 |
| JFlash | nacc, it would take me some time as I'm a novice | 18:55 |
| nacc | JFlash: and means you are exposed to security vulnerabilities potentially | 18:55 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: in which case if you're testing with regular keyboards I can't think of anything else obvious. Are these regular Latin character QWERTY style? | 18:55 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Yeah, nothing strange | 18:56 |
| JFlash | nacc, I understand your concern, althou this is not a production machine. I will look for help some place else then. Sorry to disturb :( | 18:56 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Control + Alt + T works as expected too | 18:56 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: then its the function keys themselves | 18:56 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: I have an external USB logitech keyboard, and to have 'regular' key-codes from the Fx keys I have to press an "F-lock" button | 18:57 |
| FourLaps | TJ- F1 brings up the help menu like it should though | 18:57 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: I'm wondering if you've got something similar going on | 18:57 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Yeah I understand that and I know my keyboard isnt set up that way | 18:57 |
| nacc | ich_dien: that's a fair point. I would say you're learning quite a bit already about how Ubuntu works (and reasons to or not to update software outside of a distribution). Generally to install a software from source, you would d/l the source (or git clone or whatver). ./configure (or ./autogen.sh, depending), make, make install (the latter as root). BUt the whole point of building from source is knowing what | 18:57 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: in which case... are you sure you've got more than one tty enabled :D | 18:57 |
| nacc | you are building and how. So you'd probably pass flags to configure to use a prefix of /usr/local rather than /usr, and since you're doing `make install` as root, that assumes you know exactly what you are doing | 18:57 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Where can I go to do that? | 18:57 |
| nacc | ich_dien: the point of a distribution is someone else went through the trouble of doing all that for you :) | 18:58 |
| === Nobita93 is now known as Nobita93fdmscx | ||
| TJ- | FourLaps: you'd have to have reconfigured the system *very* particularly to disable the ttys so I very much doubt its that | 18:59 |
| nacc | ich_dien: my concern is let's say the claws source doesn't have an 'uninstall' target in the Makefile. And you go to install claws-mail from Ubuntu because the version upstream for whatever reason isn't what you want. It's possible that pacakge installation will fail, because of your local changes (I have no idea if this is the case for claws, but it might be generally possible) | 18:59 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Right? But I dont know where I would even to go to check if thats the issue | 18:59 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: believe me it won't be... even if I wanted to do that it'd take me 5 minutes to check I was doing it correctly :) | 19:00 |
| ich_dien | nacc, I think I understand what you mean. | 19:00 |
| FourLaps | TJ- But I honestly have no idea what else it would be | 19:00 |
| FourLaps | TJ- do you have a link to any documentation or something I could read? | 19:00 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: try using evtest to see if the keys are working | 19:00 |
| ich_dien | nacc, And yes ever since installing OS I have learned so much my head is spinning! | 19:01 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: "sudo apt install evtest; sudo evtest" select the keyboard device and press those problem key combos, see what it spits out. Ctrl+C to interrupt (exit). | 19:01 |
| ich_dien | Everyday is a new adventure:) | 19:02 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Evtest returns no devices available | 19:02 |
| TJ- | right round baby, right round, like a record baby, right round round round | 19:02 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: then the system is "broked" | 19:02 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Niiice. Sounds like my life | 19:02 |
| fermulator | FourLaps, perhaps the number of virtual consoles has been reduced somehow on your system? http://askubuntu.com/questions/27967/how-can-i-reduce-the-number-of-ttys/27975#27975 | 19:02 |
| nacc | ich_dien: i think the most important rule is if you are doing anything as root (sudo or explicitly swtiched to the root user), you really want to be sure you know what you are doing, how to undo what you did, etc | 19:03 |
| TJ- | fermulator: I asked that but anyone doing it would recall they had! | 19:03 |

| fermulator | TJ probably, but it's easily something to be forgotten if it were years ago, or maybe someone else with access to the system did it, or maybe some script did it... | 19:04 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: this is what you should expect to see with "sudo evtest" http://paste.ubuntu.com/16512695/ | 19:04 |
| TJ- | fermulator: I'm inclined to think the system has been broken, if evtest isn't reporting any input devices | 19:04 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Fermulator I wish this was an old install, I've had this install for two weeks | 19:04 |
| * TJ- awards FourLaps the "I killed my system fastest" cup | 19:05 | |
| fermulator | TJ-: definitely good to double check the evtest output to confirm keyboard mappings are correct (perhaps I mis-understood FourLaps though - I thought that CTRL+ALT+F1 works, but F2...F6 does not?) | 19:05 |
| FourLaps | TJ- The day I got my first computer when I was 13 I tried to install ubuntu and broke the bootloader that day | 19:05 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: at this stage I'd take an educated guess that reading the package manager's logs will reveal you've uninstalled some vital packages | 19:05 |
| TJ- | fermulator: none of the tty shortcuts works, but Ctrl+ and Alt+ other keys work fine, and F1 brings up help | 19:06 |
| FourLaps | TJ- I got evtest to work I forgot to run it as sudo. My keyboard is gucci | 19:06 |
| ich_dien | nacc, So just to be clear since nothing actually installed (no make install) | 19:06 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: aha! I did wonder but thought you'd be insulted if I asked :D | 19:07 |
| ich_dien | nacc, If I just get rid of the tar in ~/Downloads and the extracted files will be sufficient? | 19:07 |
| nacc | ich_dien: right, basically extracting a tarball and building it is just like creatinga directory and putting stuff in it | 19:07 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Somestimes I make mistakes | 19:07 |
| FourLaps | albiet its rare ;) | 19:07 |
| nacc | ich_dien: there's nothing particularly special about source code in that regard | 19:07 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: we all do, and it can be embarrassing | 19:07 |
| nacc | ich_dien: so your management of that directory would be like any other directory in your homedir, do with it as you see fit :) | 19:08 |
| nacc | ich_dien: even after, were you to do so, a `make install`, you can delete the source, because it's put the stuff (installed!) in the right places in the system directories (or prefix as specified to configure) | 19:08 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: I once spent 3 hours trying to figure out how and when I'd uninstalled some key tools only to realise I was into a chroot of a different release, where I'd previously been debugging :s | 19:08 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Lmfao nice | 19:09 |
| FourLaps | TJ- the directory /etc/default/console-setup doesnt exist on my system | 19:09 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: so, does evtest report events for the Ctrl+Alt+Fx combos? | 19:09 |
| nacc | TJ-: i hate when that happens ... | 19:09 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: that'd be a file, not a dir | 19:10 |

| TJ- | squinty: that's a scary one as well, doing something on a remote you think you're doing locally | 19:10 |
| TJ- | squinty: I have 6 monitors just for that, so I have 1 monitor = 1 remote system | 19:11 |
| FourLaps | TJ- I'm silly. It shows that tty1-6 are active. Also it responded when I hit the keys, am I looking for a specific output? | 19:11 |
| squinty | TJ-, did make my little old hear go pitty-pat when I realize the situation :-) | 19:11 |
| === eric is now known as Guest31984 | ||
| TJ- | FourLaps: well, first just confirming the keys aren't 'dead' when you use that particular combination | 19:11 |
| TJ- | squinty: I had a hot flush just reading your comment about it | 19:12 |
| squinty | lol!! | 19:12 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: if the 3-key combo is showing up then it points to something else having remapped them. Have you installed any packages recently that might want to take over key combos? | 19:13 |

| FourLaps | TJ- I just plugged in a third keyboard and the shortcut brought me to a black screen so everything is fucked | 19:13 |
| FourLaps | TJ- I went ahead and attempted to enter my username and password and on signing in I could hear the music I was playing | 19:14 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: I just tried to do the Ctrl+Alt+F1 in evtest... and it switched to the tty! That wsa funny | 19:15 |
| FourLaps | TJ- So The CLI is working but I see nothing | 19:15 |

| TJ- | FourLaps: oh! didn't realise you'd solved it | 19:17 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Kind of? | 19:17 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: blank display is likely a GPU driver issue, to do with modesetting | 19:17 |
| FourLaps | TJ- It worked on the third keyboard | 19:17 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Oh yeah I have to boot with nomodeset otherwise its a black screen | 19:18 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: makes me wonder if one of the 1st 2 keyboards has got its toggle flags in a mess. I've often seen with multiple keyboards things like the Caps Lock and so on getting inverted in their meaning between the keyboards | 19:18 |
| FourLaps | TJ- I have no idea I just feel like everything is fucked and ubuntu hates me at this point | 19:19 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: yesterday I had several fun minutes trying to drop CAPS LOCK in the GUI because it got inverted... was fine at the ttys ... having to press Shift to get lower-case to log-in at the greeter, etc, as a right pain | 19:20 |
| FourLaps | TJ- Honest question where could I get a good computer with ubuntu pre-installed? System76? | 19:21 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: so i'd first wonder if you get this issue when only 1 keyboard is connected. Does it happen immediately after boot, or only after you've been working for some time in a user session | 19:21 |
| FourLaps | TJ- I honestly think that the built in keyboard is just dying on my computer | 19:21 |
| TJ- | FourLaps: also, try using the Guest session (or a new user account) and see if it occurs there. If not, it points to some user configuration issue | 19:21 |

| ubottu | GnomeKris: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 and up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 19:38 |

| arooni | i mean sh script | 20:38 |
| arooni | i used the same # | 20:39 |
| arooni | i wonder if ubuntu doesnt keep an internet connection immediately upon resume | 20:39 |
| arooni | so that would be a reason why it would fail | 20:39 |
| maszlo | I seem to have a weird issue with grub. There are two ssd in my notebook, sda sdb. win10 and ubuntu & grub are installed on sda. sdb i have android installed. The issue is that when i cold boot, and select the option for RemixOS (android) it says disk hd1,1 not found . but if i hit any key and exit am shown grub again and it boots | 20:39 |
| nacc | arooni: well, it's not possible to have internet "immediately" upon resume, you need the network device to be back,etc | 20:39 |
| Jakey3 | im not clear how to easily encrypt files and folders on my computer with aes 256 | 20:41 |
| nacc | arooni: i think if you depend on networking, you're supposed to put scripts in /etc/network/if-up.d ? | 20:41 |
| nacc | arooni: not positive | 20:41 |
| Jakey3 | for symmetric and asymmetric | 20:41 |
| Jakey3 | emphasis on easily | 20:41 |
| Jakey3 | terminal is fine | 20:41 |
| arooni | it's really not a huge issue; i can run the command when i start work; i just like to automate stuff whenever possible | 20:41 |

| _damien_ | I would like to report a bug (16.04). The windows shortcuts, like Super+W (expose windows) randomly changes to Super+Z. I use a AZERTY keyboard and I suppose sometimes the shortcut use QWERTY instead of AZERTY (maybe at X boot). Must I use ubuntu-bug ? And what components must I choose ? | 21:22 |

| ubottu | If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 21:24 |
| _damien_ | I have read this page, and have tested ubuntu-bug, but dunno what component to choose. I tried Xorg but I end with an auto-generated report and a "send" button | 21:27 |
| === kjc is now known as spockors | ||
| genii | _damien_: Probably the package to file the bug against is keyboard-configuration . If it turns out to be the wrong package, the people reading that bug will re-file it | 21:27 |
| k1l_ | _damien_: it will open in a browser afterwards where you can file more details | 21:28 |
| MonkeyDust | _damien_ also, the bug already may have be known on launchpad | 21:28 |
| _damien_ | ha ok k1l_, I was afraid to send a pile of unusable data without to be able to add my own text | 21:28 |
| _damien_ | MonkeyDust, I searched about shortcuts and didn't find it actually | 21:29 |

| jessee- | how do I open .docx file abiword says "error importing" file and evince pdf viewer isn't displaying a pdf properly I'm not sure hwy | 22:29 |
| jessee- | why | 22:29 |

| bekks | precise: No updates installed, no log entries. | 22:45 |
| precise | So are there any logs in relation to the progress of apt update? | 22:45 |
| bekks | precise: The update process is working fine - there were no updates to be installed. | 22:46 |
| precise | Problem is the program is not exiting with any status...? | 22:46 |
| bekks | So wait until it exits. | 22:46 |
| precise | It just hangs without a prompt... | 22:46 |
| precise | bekks, issue being it has been 30 minutes now | 22:46 |

| marus | is that a good idea to rename my NICs in 16.04 to old names? | 23:03 |
| genii | marus: Better to just leave the names as-is unless you have specific reason like scripts which refer to the old names like eth0 or such | 23:04 |
| nkowdley | I can't install anything through the gnome-software-center and now this | 23:04 |

| nkowdley | lol | 23:05 |
| brucewhealtonjr | I know there might be more than package and I think the use of purge is used | 23:05 |
| marus | genii: yes that's my purpose, scripts doesn't work... | 23:05 |
| Guest88148 | quick question..i read online that its harmless but.. was still wondering what it is.. i keep seeing an error saying APCI PCC probe failed on start up.. even if its harmless..i have to wonder what it meen's | 23:05 |
| marus | genii: and also i don't understand why this new kind of names | 23:05 |
| CodFection | Guest88148, u have ACPI problem | 23:06 |
| nkowdley | lucas-arg: where is the tab for enabling proposed? | 23:06 |
| genii | marus: Then what you can do is edit /etc/default/grub and put in there: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="biosdevname=-1 net.ifnames=0" save the change, then: sudo update-grub | 23:06 |
| brucewhealtonjr | also, is there any problem having php 5.x and php 7.0 both installed on a system? | 23:07 |
| genii | marus: And it will revert to the previous generic names of eth0, eth1, wlan0, etc | 23:07 |

| precise | It is hanging there | 23:07 |
| CodFection | nkowdley, is apt problem fixed yet? | 23:08 |
| genii | marus: The reason for the new naming is the same as UUID for hard drives. So the name of the ethernet devices is always unique | 23:08 |
| nkowdley | codfection: nope, but the bug has been fixed in xenial-proposed | 23:08 |

| reisio | and less awful bases than PHP | 23:24 |
| genii | marus: Sorry, wrong user | 23:24 |
| reisio | bst11: what's the error you're getting? | 23:24 |
| Pinkamena_D | tried to upgrade 14.04 to 16.04, installer said there were errors but It restarted anyway. Still starts up ok but I cant seem to run apt-get update: it stopt at downloading us.archive.com/ubuntu with "appstreamcli" process taking 100% cpu forever. Any suggestion to fix? it does not behave normally after a restart. | 23:25 |
| CodFection | precise, any solution yet? | 23:25 |
| bekks | Pinkamena_D: Updating from 14.04 to 16.04 isnt supported yet, it will be supported once 16.04.1 is released. | 23:25 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: : It is the recommended solution which the Launchpad bug mentioned there refers to. So the file which is currently in there is how your changes in /etc/network/interfaces is being overwritten | 23:25 |
| marus | genii: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" not -1 | 23:25 |
| bst11 | reisio: when i load this http://192.168.1.100/wordpress i get unable to connect | 23:25 |
| precise | CodFection, rolling on nkowdley direction and installing appstream from proposed, any progress nkowdley? | 23:25 |
| genii | marus: biosdevname=-1, not biosdevname=0 | 23:26 |
| Pinkamena_D | well, I just went to the software updater and it said that 16.04 was available, so I clicked the button. Not trying to do anything shifty... | 23:26 |
| genii | thats a minus sign, and then a 1 | 23:26 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: ok, I'll try it now | 23:26 |
| marus | genii: i've tryed it but doesn't help, on the link they make =0 | 23:27 |
| reisio | bst11: what makes you think 192.168.1.100 is the IP? | 23:27 |
| genii | marus: Remember that you need to do after that: sudo update-grub ...and that a reboot is needed before the change takes effect | 23:28 |
| precise | OerHeks, any reason that you know of that appstream is taking so long to install? nkowdley? | 23:28 |
| Pinkamena_D | bekks: is there any way to fix this problem at this time? | 23:28 |
| genii | marus: Also, it is -1 and not 0 for the biosdevname value. | 23:29 |
| bst11 | my ip doesnt work as much either | 23:29 |
| bekks | Pinkamena_D: I dont think so, since you are runninh an unsupported configuration right now. | 23:29 |
| bekks | *running | 23:29 |
| reisio | bst11: is it supposed to be a server on the machine you're currently using? | 23:30 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: it dodn't work, and now if I run ifconfig I get random letters instead of eth0 | 23:30 |
| marus | genii:i've rebootet several times, only eth0 is changed, but not the wlan0 | 23:30 |
| Pinkamena_D | bekks: There should be a more explicit warning on the upgrade, especially for a gui tool. How about a downgrade? | 23:30 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: http://pastebin.com/bR2mdi4s | 23:30 |
| OerHeks | precise, appstream is optional. if you encounter issues, de-install untill the update arrives? | 23:31 |
| bst11 | reisio: yeah i installed lamp tring to follow up with wordpress | 23:31 |
| Pinkamena_D | Do you know what appstreamcli actually does? | 23:31 |
| bekks | Pinkamena_D: Downgrades arent supported. And you selected to upgrade to a development release, did you? | 23:31 |
| reisio | bst11: you can just use 'localhost' (http://localhost/) then | 23:31 |
| reisio | bst11: you probably don't have apache or whatever web server you've installed actually running yet | 23:31 |
| Pinkamena_D | my actions were going to the software update tool (through dash) and checking for updates. | 23:32 |
| bst11 | reisio localhost just being out the default apache page | 23:32 |
| Pinkamena_D | once it finished, it said that '16.04' was available, so I clicked the button to upgrade | 23:32 |
| Pinkamena_D | that is all | 23:32 |
| bst11 | let me paste in some screenshots | 23:32 |
| reisio | bst11: that means Apache is running, then | 23:33 |
| reisio | bst11: try http://localhost/wordpress/ now, if you indeed have a 'wordpress' dir in there | 23:33 |
| Pinkamena_D | lsb_release shows just "ubuntu 16.04 LTS", is there another place to look for a subversion which may be 'development' ? | 23:33 |
| mistawright | hi guys i have to use ubuntu 14.04 and need to install php 5.3.10 and associated modules. what would be the best way to go about this as I have been trying for hours to get what i need installed | 23:33 |
| bst11 | reisio: alright | 23:33 |
| bekks | Pinkamena_D: Subversion has nothing to do with it. | 23:33 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: Yes, that is the new Constant Naming Scheme thing in place now, as I was just explaining earlier to marus | 23:33 |
| bst11 | reisio: nothing just a clean white page | 23:34 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: Network device names are now given a name which has part of their MAC in it so that the names remain the same | 23:34 |
| bst11 | reisio: could it be that i did not install wordpress correctly? | 23:34 |
| OerHeks | !info php5 trusty | 23:35 |
| ubottu | php5 (source: php5): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 5.5.9+dfsg-1ubuntu4.16 (trusty), package size 1 kB, installed size 29 kB | 23:35 |
| precise | OerHeks, wait, I thought appstream was part of the apt utility? | 23:35 |
| OerHeks | mistawright, why 5.3? nobody uses that anymore .. | 23:35 |
| reisio | bst11: it's more likely your PHP isn't installed/configured, or apache isn't configured to use it | 23:35 |
| reisio | bst11: try http://localhost/wordpress/index.php directly | 23:35 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: If you do the steps I outlined to them just earlier, the naming will revert to the old eth0 kind | 23:36 |
| OerHeks | precise, i don't have it on 15.10 | 23:36 |
| bst11 | reisio: alright | 23:36 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: I don't mind the new name, but the static ip didn't work | 23:36 |
| mistawright | OerHeks, I have an application that requires it and until devs cleanup this code my hand is forced | 23:36 |
| milena_ | 123456 | 23:37 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: Please pastebin whatever is in the .cfg files in /etc/network/interfaces.d directory, please | 23:37 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: I added static.cfg to /etc/network/interfaces.d/ and wrote what I normally write for static ips, but now it's blank | 23:37 |
| Pinkamena_D | bekks: ok, it looks like uninstalling the 'appstream' package with apt-get has fixed this issue. Do you know what this package does? I am not familiar with it. | 23:37 |
| precise | OerHeks, I uninstalled and all works now... | 23:37 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: the system erased it on boot | 23:37 |
| OerHeks | it is part of an IDE, not sure which one | 23:37 |
| OerHeks | !ide | 23:37 |
| nkowdley | precise: you still here | 23:37 |
| ubottu | Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs - KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello - GNOME: gvim, gedit, anjuta, pida, monodevelop, geany - Others: eclipse, netbeans, qtcreator | 23:37 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: apparently. It also reverts any changes made to the other file | 23:38 |
| precise | Yeah whats up? | 23:38 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: What did you do with the other file that was already in there? | 23:38 |
| precise | nkowdley | 23:38 |
| nkowdley | precise: so real hacky solution | 23:38 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: nothing, it's still there | 23:38 |
| precise | go on | 23:38 |
| nkowdley | precise: sudo mv /usr/bin/appstreamcli /usr/bin/appstreamcli.bak | 23:38 |
| bekks | !info check-all-the-things | 23:38 |
| nkowdley | lol | 23:38 |

| genii | HappySomethingSo: Please pastebin whatever is in it | 23:38 |
| nkowdley | precise: it works | 23:38 |
| bst11 | reisio: was not found on server | 23:38 |
| bekks | Pinkamena_D: Thats where it is from ^. | 23:38 |
| genii | work, afk 5-7 minutes | 23:38 |
| nkowdley | precise: lol not a great fix though | 23:39 |
| precise | lol, I actually uninstalled appstream all together :P | 23:39 |
| nkowdley | lol | 23:39 |
| bst11 | sending the image | 23:39 |
| nkowdley | that works too | 23:39 |
| nkowdley | Alright guys, gotta go bbl | 23:39 |
| reisio | bst11: then you probably don't have the 'wordpress' directory where you think it is | 23:39 |
| precise | see ya | 23:39 |
| bst11 | I think the php was probably not well installed | 23:39 |
| bst11 | reisio: will a reinstallation of php7 fix it? | 23:40 |
| reisio | bst11: it would still load index.php if it found it, it just wouldn't parse it as PHP | 23:40 |
| reisio | if it wasn't found, it isn't where you think it is | 23:40 |
| mistawright | any ideas on how to install php 5.3.10 on ubuntu? | 23:40 |
| bst11 | reisio: alright how about i give it all a try again | 23:41 |
| reisio | mistawright: 1) suspend sanity (x2) 2) install it 3) done | 23:41 |
| bst11 | reasons why i just love xampp | 23:41 |
| jnagro | anyone having issues with packagecloud.io hosted apt repos hanging their apt update? | 23:41 |
| reisio | bst11: xampp won't help you with not knowing where your files are | 23:41 |
| jnagro | in my case, Slack client installed one | 23:41 |
| jnagro | https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/debian just hangs forever | 23:41 |
| CodFection | is apt update still lagging? | 23:42 |
| mistawright | reisio, tried and failed using apt | 23:42 |
| bst11 | reisio: it has a graphical way of just installing the whole thing without much trouble | 23:42 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: sorry for the wait, pastebin is really slow now | 23:42 |
| mistawright | reisio, couldnt install php-dev without pulling in php 5.5.9 | 23:42 |
| reisio | mistawright: it's very unlikely you need php5 or php5.3 particularly over php5.5 | 23:42 |
| bst11 | reisio: any alternative for all this? | 23:43 |
| reisio | bst11: AFAIK your only problem is that you don't know where your files are; you should figure out how to know where your files are, that is important | 23:43 |
| mistawright | reisio, unable to install dbx with php 5.5.9 and our application isnt fully compatible | 23:43 |
| bst11 | reisio: alright thanks | 23:44 |
| reisio | mistawright: time to fix your application | 23:44 |
| reisio | mistawright: what're you going to do when php5 is even more discontinued, security compromised, and full of buggy holes than it is now? | 23:44 |
| bekks | mistawright: How are you trying to install dbx? | 23:44 |
| genii | marus: What is it calling the wifi interface now instead of wlan0 ? | 23:44 |
| CodFection | guys my apt-get update is still stuck and cant get it fixed. please help | 23:44 |
| mistawright | bekks, pecl/pear which fails due to phpize being missing | 23:45 |
| OerHeks | CodFection, choose faster mirror? | 23:45 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, how ? | 23:45 |
| bekks | mistawright: sudo apt-get install php5-dev | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | softwarecenter > sources | 23:46 |
| Bashing-om | !info appstreamcli | 23:46 |
| ubottu | Package appstreamcli does not exist in xenial | 23:46 |
| mistawright | bekks, i did which tries to pull in php 5.5.9 though | 23:46 |
| bekks | !info check-all-the-things | Bashing-om thats the package containing appstream | 23:46 |
| ubottu | Bashing-om thats the package containing appstream: check-all-the-things (source: check-all-the-things): check all of the things!. In component universe, is optional. Version 2015.12.10ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 21 kB, installed size 115 kB | 23:46 |
| WoodyPC | Does anyone know anything about a program called mono-complete? | 23:46 |
| bekks | mistawright: Which is intended. | 23:46 |
| genii | Bashing-om: It's in the appstream package | 23:47 |
| bekks | mistawright: After installing php 5.5.9 properly, from the repos, you will be able to install dbx. | 23:47 |
| Bashing-om | bekks: genii Thanks .. a similar issue on the forum too . | 23:47 |
| WoodyPC | I have looked it up, but most of it is code or source code. | 23:47 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: pastebin doesn't load at all | 23:48 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: http://pasted.co/45a1f639 | 23:48 |
| OerHeks | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/mono-complete | 23:49 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, so change it to US server? | 23:49 |
| OerHeks | CodFection, the mirror selector has an option to look for the fastest mirror | 23:49 |
| OerHeks | us/main is fine | 23:49 |
| jessee- | any other pdf reader besides okular that is as good as adobe reader | 23:50 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: So in this case, I would either: rename that file to something that doesn't end in .cfg and re-make the static.cfg file... or: just edit it to make the static change there instead of a different file | 23:50 |
| CodFection | chose US and still stuck | 23:50 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, | 23:50 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: it reverts any changes made to the file | 23:50 |
| OerHeks | CodFection, then it is your network/isp | 23:50 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, but my internet is working fine.. | 23:50 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, thats why I can chat now right.. | 23:51 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: Sounds like something on your hosting provider's end then, where they give you dhcp by default and you probably have to request a change from them to static | 23:51 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: the server is mine | 23:52 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: Weird. I haven't seen this before. | 23:52 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: and I managed to change it to static on ubuntu 14 | 23:52 |
| Quatroking | could I just have a moment and bring your attention to the fact that UEFI is a worthless piece of shit | 23:52 |
| Quatroking | thank you | 23:52 |
| CodFection | OerHeks, but my internet is working fine.. how to fix now?? | 23:53 |
| genii | HappySomethingSo: I think you may get someone more knowledgeable on the subject in #ubuntu-server | 23:53 |
| Quatroking | spent an hour trying to boot off USB and get ubuntu to install properly only to finally have it work after installing off DVD | 23:53 |
| HappySomethingSo | genii: thanks, I'll try there | 23:53 |
| TJ- | HappySomethingSo: there's nothing in the ifupdown tooling that'll wipe out a local admin's installed files | 23:53 |
| genii | TJ-: Have you seen something like before? | 23:54 |
| genii | *like this | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | CodFection, no clue, you say internet is fine but apt lags | 23:54 |
| TJ- | genii: never, not caused by tooling. Caused by bad file systems / journalling, yes | 23:54 |
| TJ- | genii: sounds more like a non-persistent container to me | 23:55 |
| TJ- | genii: might be worth putting an inotifywatch on the directory, see when/if the file is accessed/written | 23:56 |
| CodFection | Hi TJ | 23:56 |
| CodFection | I trust u | 23:56 |
| CodFection | can u please help me solve one issue | 23:56 |
| CodFection | whenever I run apt-get update it stucks | 23:57 |
| TJ- | I was just off to bed! | 23:57 |
| CodFection | or even using software update | 23:57 |
| Bashing-om | Pinkamena_D: bekks :: The Cog on the forum has a work-a-round : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2325168 that worked for him . | 23:57 |
| TJ- | CodFection: how does it stick? times out trying to fetch files? | 23:57 |
| CodFection | no | 23:57 |
| CodFection | after fetched | 23:57 |
| CodFection | it stucks | 23:57 |
| OerHeks | CodFection, show us the output of update | 23:58 |
| HappySomethingSo | \join #ubuntu-server | 23:58 |
| genii | Hm | 23:58 |
| michagogo | Hi, can anyone help me with an LXC question? I'm trying to get started with a container and can't seem to figure out how to make this work. I created it with sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu. I'm able to lxc-start it, and lxc-attach to it, but I can't, for example, ssh into it. I assume there's some kind of networking setup I need to do, but I can't find anything | 23:59 |
| michagogo | that clearly explains how to make it work -- how to give the host network access to the container and/or how to give the container access to the Internet. | 23:59 |
