[00:30] CoolKevin, plasma/kde? [00:30] mrrtrump: rephrase ? [00:30] on those lines [00:31] I think that was my very first one [00:31] CoolKevin, Then that's the name of the "packages"...you should be able to find that easily enough in the package manager...

[00:33] I still got the basics, but I just found "plasma media centre" in the software cente === someone_stole_my is now known as mrkirby153 [00:34] CoolKevin, "Plasma Media Centre" is not really the desktop, bro...you'd have to have Plasma+KDE for the full thingo, bro... [00:35] I see [00:36] CoolKevin, If you really really want the ENTIRE KDE/Plasma experience, you can download KUbuntu - which is JUST that...but Ubuntu, nonetheless... [00:36] how do i set up cups [00:37] what I had set up before was, a bar at the bottom which had the apps, and on the right, little boxs for extra desktops, and a dropdown menu at the top [00:37] mate [00:37] baller: you have a printer?

[00:38] waaaazzupp [00:39] goddard: how do i find the ip adress to assign to my cups server [00:39] squinty, good thing the wiki told me that bbefore i had to deinnstall everythinng ... [00:39] baller: of your printer? [00:39] baller: either look at your router or look at the printers interface [00:40] so, how do install this "nvidia prime" thingy [00:40] goddard: i am trying to make my usb printer wireless [00:40] in the setting up cups guide it says to assign it a ip address [00:40] baller: look at the name of the printer then reference that in your router [00:40] baller: your router sets your printers IP not cups [00:40] my printer is usb onlu [00:41] baller, you can share it from your ubuntu computer to other in the network [00:41] if it connects to a wifi router then it is your router dude [00:41] snckrs, not up on all the in's and out's of it but nvidia-prime is in repo's afaik [00:41] like that one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DszoVta0hY [00:41] yeah but i guess i need some nvidia drivers aswell?

[00:47] ops! mrrtrump [00:47] squinty: he left. And you need the bang before the ops [00:48] yes mis type [00:48] is apt purge and apt-get purge the same? [00:48] hey OerHeks you here? [00:48] snckrs, Yes, basically. [00:49] thanks [00:49] snckrs, All good. [00:49] Sigh, why do nvidia drivers just wont work for me? [00:50] snckrs, They're flaky at the best of times. [00:51] Yeah, but for some weird reason they are working on arch linux for me...so I just dont get why they wont work on ubuntu [00:51] after rebooting i only get a blackscreen [00:51] although i can switch to a tty with ctrl alt f1 === t is now known as Guest94304 [00:52] snckrs, It could be something as simple as permissions...or possibly the process by which you've installed them...either which, there is ample information about doing the installation...if one way doesn't work, try another way...which is the beauty of the situation...there are many ways to do the same thing... [00:53] YankDownUnder, yet for some reason I only am able to find out how this one way works: By ticking this box for nvidia driver at the "software" app [00:53] snckrs, Check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/760374/ubuntu-16-04-nvidia-driver-blank-screen [00:54] ugh hold on, i think i forgot install nvidia-prima lol [00:55] its "sudo apt install nvidia-prime" right? [00:55] snckrs, Should be it... [00:56] hah that was indeed my mistake [00:57] snckrs, Coolbeans...I'll take a large cappuccino, extra shot, two raw sugars, thanks. :) [00:57] YankDownUnder, but im only a chocolatebar without vowels :c [00:58] snckrs, Fair enough...I don't do chocolate unless it's in coffee...or on waffles... [01:00] so i just launched csgo, how do i check now if it really is working with the dGPU? [01:00] snckrs: BumbleBee and nvidia-prime do not co-ixist . make sure to purge BumbleBee . [01:00] Bashing-om, you are about 5 minutes too late, I already fixed it, but thanks [01:02] okay nvm, the fact that i have about 120 FPS is a pretty good indicator that its runnning the nvidia gpu haha [01:02] snckrs: K) .. was away for a bit ..

[01:30] kristofer, nope,keep asking in U-T, or put it on the mailinglist [01:30] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/GetHelp [01:34] Ubuntu Touch huh. That sounds like it might be something pretty raw. [01:35] Something one might have to stumble through and solve ones own problems until it becomes a bit more broadly used. [01:35] I'd imagine the userbase is fairly small at this point. [01:37] Still it's cool to see a real effort put towards offering a FOSS OS on mobile/touch platforms.

[01:45] Hi guys! Does anybody know a tool to be able to see or possibly control my cpu clock speed on ubuntu 16.04? [01:45] pennTeller, cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:46] enough tools to see, but to set speed is silly. [01:46] B0g4r7_, thank you that works. Do you happen to maybe know a tool for overclocking? [01:46] OerHeks, how so? [01:47] overclocking should be done in the bios? [01:48] OerHeks, I see.. I guess I'll give that a shot. Thank you [01:49] Do you happen to know a tool or program apart from cat /proc/cpuinfo to see the cpu state? [01:49] The only tools I've seen for adjusting CPU frequency from software deal with power saving features. Reducing clockspeed, not increasing. [01:50] B0g4r7_, yes me too [01:50] lscpu tells you a lot of the same information. dmidecode will tell you about the CPU and a lot of other things. [01:51] lslscpu looks very much as what I had in mind :) [01:51] Thank you B0g4r7_ [01:51] You might want to take a look at nice & renice to give services more/less priority [01:51] OerHeks, now that's something I've never heard about either [01:51] I will have a look [01:52] oh nice looks cool [01:52] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/renice.1posix.html [01:54] OerHeks, thank you.

[01:54] I just built this pc and decided to not use Windows at all and want to fully immerse myself [01:55] well, it takes time .. [01:56] OerHeks, I devour books and videos.

More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [02:41] hi, I'm using Kodibuntu but I want to use Ubuntu 16.04 kernel (lastest Kodibuntu seems based on Lubuntu but uses 3.13 instead of 4.4), it seems that linux-generic has been overriden to this older kernel [02:41] how can I use Ubuntu 16.04 kernel and keep it updated under Kodibuntu? [02:42] Charlie1983ARG: you install Ubuntu 16.04 or you ask in #kodi [02:42] I already asked there and they told me that I have to install a mainline kernel! I don't want to do that [02:43] but you're right, I'm going to use Ubuntu 16.04, Kodibuntu is a waste of time [02:45] hello, how can i tell which Xorg video driver has been loaded? [02:46] also, is modesetting or the intel driver better on intel hardware? [02:48] mangix: Log /var/log/Xorg.0.log will relate a lot of info about the driver build .

[02:55] From what I've read, it is mostly security improvements, and there have a been a few DRI3 specific application bugs [02:56] DRI3 allows better vsync and performance [02:57] downside is that it requires KMS and may be unstable [02:58] Does anyone here know if there is a proper term for a computer display acting like a VHS player that has lost tracking?

Someone recommended that I use Mir instead...and apparently that is some sort of display driver. [03:46] Isn't Unity a desktop environment. [03:46] ? [03:46] krismatrix: someone's ignorant [03:46] <[Saint]> The "security issues" with X11 are laughable at best. [03:46] krismatrix: X is fine, Unity is a DE, technically [03:46] <[Saint]> Newsflash. Your compositor can spy on you. [03:46] <[Saint]> Welcome to the world. [03:46] compositor? [03:46] what is that [03:47] Mir is something Canonical (Ubuntu) has been working on... I can't say I have much faith it will endure [03:47] <[Saint]> I assume you're talking about the hilarious shenagigans regarding X.11 and Snappy? [03:47] <[Saint]> And it being "unsafe"? [03:48] it's not likely you're using snappy [03:48] krismatrix: c'mon don't make us do all the talking for you :p [03:48] <[Saint]> Using something or not has no bearing on the reactionary public. [03:48] [Saint]: ain't that the truth :p [03:49] uh...I don't know what Snappy is. I just read somewhere that it was a new software/program/implementation with Snappy...but don't know what it is. [03:49] <[Saint]> Then you need not worry in the least. [03:49] And yes..I believe the shenangians regarding x.11 and snappy is probably what I am referring to. [03:50] <[Saint]> that wasn't really "news", just someone pointing out something working exactly as intended and crying fowl of it. [03:50] [Saint]: Why would I not need to worry? [03:50] <[Saint]> see above. [03:51] <[Saint]> If snappy package developers don't want to mark their packages as untrusted, it is their own damn fault. [03:51] So...why is this not a security issue? [03:52] <[Saint]> because there are provisions for this already, if you don't want to compositor to be able to spy on what your snappy package is doing, don't class it as a trusted element. [03:52] ok...so what Is this compositor? And actually what is this snappy package? [03:52] hello i need dependencies i cannot find libsteam_api.so and libopenal-eon.so.1 [03:53] trying to run hostapd but get this wlx74da38417dba: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED [03:53] any idea were i can find them or how to install them? [03:53] <[Saint]> krismatrix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager [03:53] how do i enable it? [03:53] <[Saint]> krismatrix: and a snappy package is like a snapshot the brings in all its dependencies locally. [03:54] <[Saint]> bah - grammatical errors. [03:55] 0 [03:55] cmon I just miss 2 more f* dependencies I got 99% by myself pls help http://paste.ubuntu.com/16588874/ [03:56] libsteam_api.so and libopenal-eon.so.1 [03:56] Abe_: those don't exist in any packages in 16.04 [03:57] tgm4883: I use 14.04 luckily [03:58] Abe_: Do not find them either : http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libsteam_api&mode=filename&suite=trusty&arch=any . [03:58] Abe_: they aren't in 14.04 either [03:58] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i get this somehow [03:58] There's libopenal-dev, but thet doesn't have this -eon bit. [03:59] :( [03:59] <[Saint]> my guess is that it is screwing up its own dependencies and it expects to bring this all to the party itself. [03:59] <[Saint]> it would probably help to know what it is you're actually doing. [03:59] Trying to run a game, it sounds like. [03:59] opening an .sh progam [04:00] program/game yes [04:00] <[Saint]> that is infinitely vague. [04:00] somebody said on google [04:01] Fixed by copying libsteam_api.so from one of my Steam games into one of the known /usr/lib directories. [04:01] can this work [04:01] hopefully i hate dependency problems [04:01] A game like Witcher 2. [04:01] no a game like saints row 4 [04:02] why don't those programs come all with their own dependencies already shipped? [04:02] so annoying to get them afterwards by yourself [04:02] <[Saint]> my suspicion is they do, but it is screwing it up. [04:02] Are you sure it downloaded and installed correctly? [04:03] 1 yes it did and 2 i don't need to install [04:03] <[Saint]> relying on these libraries to be provided by the system is a recipe in failure. [04:03] but yes CRC check went good game is fine [04:03] hello all, i have a CD that will not read in ubuntu 16.04, this is my dmesg http://paste.debian.net/hidden/591d16f3/ . i have had this cd read and install under ubuntu before, it is the game Theme Park World on cd. I have tried it in two drives (SATA and USB) and it gives the same error. I tried it in a windows laptop in two drives (the inbuilt and the same USB one) and it runs perfectly fine. any help would be great [04:04] <[Saint]> as far as I can there's no reason for them to exist in the system and no package or metapackage to pull them in. [04:04] <[Saint]> so $GAME messing this up is likely entirely $GAME's fault. [04:05] I assume you've tried running ldconfig manually, yes? [04:05] Abe_: where did you get SR4 in a .sh file? It ships with everything it needs in steam [04:05] tgm4883: cuz im smart [04:06] Abe_: huh? [04:07] that i got SR4 in an .sh file :D [04:07] I still need those dependencies [04:07] :( [04:07] <[Saint]> Yes. Very smart to do this outside of Steam where it "Just Works". Mhm. [04:08] Yes but now it's standalone [04:08] which i like [04:08] <[Saint]> Is it? Seems like it doesn't even run to me. [04:08] until i have those 2 dependencies im still missing it won't [04:09] i got 99% those 2 i will get too >:( [04:09] Best of luck. [04:09] back again....so the gist is that there is no security concern with ubuntu16.04 [04:09] Security is always a concern. [04:09] krismatrix: install only from official repository [04:10] <[Saint]> No *new* security concerns. :) [04:10] Seems like the only way to get SR4 in a .sh file is via questionable places [04:10] what is the 'official respository'? [04:10] you mean just stuff on ubuntu software center? [04:10] [Saint]: I know there are not provided by the system [04:12] Sorry to say, we're not here to help you find missing pieces of the commercial software you're trying to pirate. [04:13] or cd [04:13] krismatrix, i recommend the first thing you install from Software Center is synaptic package manager. much better for finding and installing software from the official repositories. [04:13] * dowell waves hello [04:13] I do have synaptic. I use it when the ubuntu software center isn't satisfactory. [04:14] ok [04:14] <[Saint]> B0g4r7_: But then who will help me crack my MIRC.exe? Khaled's tryin' to shake me down! [04:14] So...snappy in 16.04. Why were people concerned or do people believe it may be insecure? [04:15] krismatrix: the security concerns that people were talking about aren't with snappy. They are with X11 [04:15] Yes i found libsteam_api.so like this guy said... it's in steam games [04:15] tgm4883, what is the concerns? [04:16] <[Saint]> Some genius basically discovered that if you don't mark an asset as untrusted that the compositor can spy on that asset. [04:16] <[Saint]> WHich has been true for approximately...always. [04:16] there haven't been compositors always :p [04:16] <[Saint]> Well...you know what I meant! :p [04:16] anyway, people concerned with security don't run desktop environments === cyphase_ is now known as cyphase [04:17] <[Saint]> precisely. [04:17] always :) [04:18] ok [04:18] This is true, that has been the case forever. [04:18] ok. [04:20] well ya everything can spy on everything else in x11 [04:20] there is no gui isolation [04:21] Oh im dumb [04:21] <[Saint]> you could probably "solve" this by ssh to localhost with -X, no? [04:22] <[Saint]> ...or just run the asset(s) as untrusted to begin with. [04:22] they were provided but i took their permissions away thx anyway [04:22] so I have an issue when i load a program from terminal. its icon doesn't show in the notification panel up top unless I load it from the applications menu [04:22] but how can I change the launch options from the application menu in unity? [04:22] besides that one i had to take it from steam === dowell is now known as dowel === owh is now known as onno [04:23] anyone know? :( === rany is now known as Guest62985 [04:25] tgm4883, i'm using unity, how do I change the launch options for a specific application? [04:25] /usr/share/applications/.desktop file? [04:25] jaro: what software and why are you running it from terminal? [04:26] pgl [04:26] ok...is it safe to run ssh on 16.04? [04:26] but i had to install gksudo, it has to open with sudo [04:27] !info pgl [04:27] Package pgl does not exist in xenial [04:27] xangua, ok well editing the .desktop file did the trick [04:27] xangua, peerguardian linux [04:27] <[Saint]> jaro: errrr...huh? [04:27] [Saint], ? [04:28] <[Saint]> just doing 'gksudo' should open a prompt asking what to run, and as who. [04:28] [Saint], its not installed in ubuntu bey default apparently. [04:28] <[Saint]> You don't need to do 'sudo gksudo', but perhaps I misparsed your statement. [04:28] oh and crap so it still doesn't show in the notification menu apparenlty unless its opened as regular user [04:28] hmm, how can i get the icon to show in notification panel? [04:28] hi [04:29] i'm trying to like unity, but man its real hard. [04:29] i know [04:29] xangua, do you know how i can get this applications icon to show in the notification panel? [04:29] it only shows if opened as a regular user. [04:30] java user [04:32] oh god its not even working lol [04:33] twss [04:33] wait [04:33] :p [04:33] I don't think unity is going to work out... [04:34] jaro: it doesn't need to :D [04:35] I might try kubuntu [04:37] man pgl is not even working for some reason. [04:37] its not blocking anything I dunno why [04:41] nice I got it yay [04:44] thx for no help :P [04:45] well thats it time to uninstall ubuntu....wow.... [04:46] <[Saint]> you're uninstalling Ubuntu because you dislike the DE? [04:46] [Saint], peerguardian isn't even blocking anything its freaking me out [04:46] I don'[t know why this is happening [04:47] <[Saint]> PeerGuardian is a bag of crap without enough active development to keep it afloat. [04:47] [Saint], https://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardian/discussion/446996/thread/80253887/ [04:47] woops [04:47] <[Saint]> I mean...SourceForge.. c'mon! [04:47] <[Saint]> One can only hate themselves so much. [04:47] if you say so... [04:48] peerguardian is great when using browser or torrents [04:48] I feel naked without it man. [04:48] <[Saint]> "PeerGuardian Linux: [04:48] and why would it not be working on ubuntu 16.04? i dont' get it. it even was updated for it supposedly [04:48] <[Saint]> Actively developed. However the team is very small and with few spare time. Contributors are welcome!" [04:49] <[Saint]> ....just what you want in a firewall. [04:49] i use ufw along side of it guy [04:49] its not a real firewall its a blacklist [04:49] blocks like half of the ipv4 space for me [04:49] <[Saint]> ...which is a firewall. [04:49] you can click to temp allow some ips or ports on the fly its great [04:49] but ya, that means i'm getting rid of ubuntu for sure [04:50] back to mint I go. [04:50] I probably should be using debian lol [04:50] <[Saint]> Oh wow. Even better. It is entirely closed source. [04:50] <[Saint]> hahahaha. [04:50] its gpl === WARDEN is now known as Sysop_WARDEN [04:51] <[Saint]> Ah, yes, sorry, I misread an awkward sentence. [04:51] "PeerGuardian is an open project. Not only is its source code open for you to read, use, and modify - but the project is open for you to join and contribute in any form (code, documentation, bug reports, web and support)." [04:51] just one of those security tools that peopel are now taught not to use [04:51] when they need it now more then ever lol [04:52] apparmor is even becoming deprecated now, its a shame. its one of the reasons i like ubuntu based distros [04:52] we need it now more then ever. [04:52] pgl intsalled fine but its not blocking anything something is very very wrong. [04:52] <[Saint]> what's wrong with iptables? [04:53] i'm using ufw it uses iptables [04:53] again, pgl is not a firewall replacement [04:53] <[Saint]> no, it is a superfluous addon. [04:53] superfluous? [04:53] <[Saint]> entirely. [04:53] god i fkn hate irc. the fkn lions den [04:53] teaching everyone to be vulnerable for the lulz [04:54] this is why we live in the digital world we do nowadays... [04:54] <[Saint]> No. I'm saying "it does nothing you can not do without it". [04:54] the 90s were so much better [04:54] <[Saint]> You're missing the point hun. [04:54] i can't live without it man [04:54] are you kidding me? [04:54] <[Saint]> You can. You won't. [04:54] <[Saint]> Different things. [04:54] i woudln't touch any torrents, and no the argument that my ip in the swarm doesn't matter. its all about p2p connections. [04:54] and yes using it in a browser is great [04:54] better then oscript lol [04:55] i feel totally naked right now [04:55] <[Saint]> there's nothing stopping you from forming the same blacklists with $other_product [04:55] you didn't read what i said before [04:55] <[Saint]> I did. [04:55] the great thing about pgl, is you can one click to temp allow ip's on the fly [04:55] name me another program i can do that with. === Drac0 is now known as Guest55813 [04:55] if i block 1/2 or 1/3 of all the 4 billion or w/e ipv4 blacklists that exist [04:55] how can I do that? [04:56] say i'm browsing a webpage. things on the page are not connecting cause pgl blocks them. [04:56] i have pgl running on screen, i can read the ips, ports, the descriptions of who they are for. and then click on it and only temporarily allow it for like 15 mins or so. [04:56] name me another program that can do that. [04:57] everybody just wants to hack the shit out of other people for kicks nowdays [04:57] nobody writes defensive programs man, you are dreaming. [04:58] ands if for some mysterious suspicious reason its installing but not actually working on ubuntu. i'm gonna pass on ubuntu. [04:58] i'd rather block 3 billion ipv4 addresses right off the bat on my machine. [04:59] and if ubuntu don't like that, bye bye ubuntu. [04:59] I might as well use windows... [04:59] <[Saint]> You're making some very far reaching logic leaps. Good day to you Sir and.or Madam. [04:59] well then again there is peerblok for windows. but iblock list just went paid subscription only for everything this week [04:59] they use to let you get some lists for free, but jeez. on linux i can still get them all for free [05:00] i'm gonna try a --reinstall maybe that will help? [05:01] nah it aint working man [05:01] wow [05:02] I don't get why its not working i'm totally in shock right now [05:04] maybe it also has to do with iblocklist going all paid subscription now [05:04] every year, the internet dies a little more for me. [05:04] its becoming a sad sad digital world we live in nowadays... [05:04] somebody give me a time machine so i can go back to pre 2005 [05:04] jaro: ok [05:05] we are all fkd nowadays, i don't care who you think you are [05:05] I just realized something [05:05] <[Saint]> If it involves this conversation stopping, I'm sure someone would've done so by now. [05:05] <[Saint]> Therefore, no time travel. [05:05] <[Saint]> Proof positive folks. [05:05] yeah when we get a time machine, first we'll go back and save ourselves [05:05] this sucks... [05:06] what does? [05:06] security being non existent in the present digital age. [05:06] and everybody in the industry being evil. [05:07] the fact the internet is now called facebook an twitter, and computers are now called androids and iphones... [05:07] the fact we no longer have digital freedom or privacy and are totally limited. [05:08] <[Saint]> Frustrated people who rant to others about topics they don't care for still exist, thankfully. [05:08] <[Saint]> yay! [05:08] ya pat yourself on the shoulder [05:08] you are part of the problem. [05:09] Ok, so I accidentally hosed the partition my /var directory was on [05:09] <[Saint]> You're the one that made some weird logic jump between "doesn't use obscure firewall" and "doesn't use firewall at all". [05:09] <[Saint]> Go rant in *-offtopic about it if you're still tickled. [05:10] is there any way to reinstall the system without destroying my /etc directory? [05:10] ipatrol: back it up [05:10] reisio: haha, funny [05:10] oh wait, you mean the /etc directory [05:10] heh [05:10] you used to work as a stripper or something? :p [05:10] My touch pad moves everytime I type [05:10] yes, /etc [05:11] I thought you meant the /var directory, in which case, I would say, "too late" [05:11] abhishek: turn it off or lift your wrists up [05:11] [Saint], so much for downloading torrents now. i'd be too scared to. [05:11] System Setting>Input Devices>Touchpad>Enable/Disable Touchpad has an option of Timeout, what should it be? [05:11] reisio, ^ === sins-_l is now known as sins- [05:16] Is there a known issue with Ubuntu Software Center not being able to install .deb files? [05:17] I create one using dpkg-deb and it installs OK from the terminal (using 'dpkg -i foo.deb') but it doesn't work through Ubuntu Software Center (ie. when double-clicking the file). [05:19] can anyone point me to directions for swapping out unity for mate? of all things, the friggin "smart" scrollbar is the one that i just can't get over and all the instructions for turning it off don't work on 16.04. [05:19] unity-tweak-tool does that, IIRC [05:19] brianx just install the desktop enviroment using cli [05:20] "sudo apt install mate"??? [05:20] google "installe mate cli ubuntu" [05:20] -e [05:21] you will find the correct command [05:21] reisio: nope, apparently it does in 16.04. seems that it did in earlier versions. [05:21] I also noticed that Ubuntu Software Center has similar problems installing the .deb file from Google for Google Earth. [05:21] This is on 16.04 LTS. [05:21] brianx: IIRC: dpkg -r --force-all ubuntu-desktop; apt-get install mate-desktop; apt-get autoremove [05:22] reisio: thank you. [05:22] google's binaries are trash [05:22] that's why they're hard to install [05:22] I gave up running the native google earth. [05:22] I run it in wine now. [05:22] not unrelated, I dare say, with their code in general being trash [05:22] Works much better that way, [05:23] I only rarely use it for viewing kmls [05:23] which I'm sure there're other apps for [05:23] B0g4r7_ - but I am seeing the same problem installing my own .deb files. [05:23] brianx: for the record starring with 16.04 "smart scrollbars"are no longer a unity thing but a GNOME thing [05:24] yes, Unity being mostly GNOME [05:24] hi is omg ubuntu an official ubuntu site? [05:24] there's a potential for it to be a general GTK+3 annoyance, though [05:24] e-coffee: no, is OMG chrome an official chrome site? [05:25] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2015/09/how-to-watch-hulu-on-ubuntu-1404-up well to be more specific i'm not sure i want to install this ppa? [05:25] to play hulu and hbo-go on ubuntu [05:25] xangua: interesting. they suck. completely unusable via vnc, annoying as hell even locally. normal scrollbars could easily scroll a line at a time, a page at a time or grabbing them let you scroll to a specific spot. [05:26] apparently i need a hardware abstraction layer [05:26] Here is what I see in /var/log/syslog:May 21 22:22:36 ubuntu gnome-session[1607]: (gnome-software:1762): Gs-WARNING **: failed to call gs_plugin_app_install on apt: GDBus.Error:org.debian.apt.TransactionFailed: error-no-package: Package myapp isn't available [05:26] May 21 22:22:36 ubuntu gnome-session[1607]: (gnome-software:1762): Gs-WARNING **: State change on (null) from available to installed is not OK [05:26] xangua fiik that's why i asked [05:26] haven't heard Hulu mentioned in ages [05:26] e-coffee, i know for hbogo i have to install hal and flashplugin and use firefox [05:26] all deprecated [05:27] jaro do you use this ppa? [05:27] all fkn three including firefox imo, but its only thing that works [05:27] let me scroll up which ppa? [05:27] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:flexiondotorg/hal-flash [05:28] ya i think thats the one i used in ubuntu [05:28] so you just install that, then the regular flashplugin installer and use firefox [05:28] i also did all the pipelight stuff in the past, thats all ajoke and runs crappy [05:28] just use normal flash and hal and firefox and ou good to go [05:28] thanks jaro :D [05:28] np [05:29] you know whats really sad, the android tablets are more supported for all this shit [05:29] excuse my language i'm sorry. [05:29] So Ubuntu doesn't allow you to install .deb files that don't come from their own repositories? [05:30] raymod2, huh? [05:30] Is this some kind of walled garden? [05:30] you try freshplayerplugin? [05:30] getdeb? [05:30] raymod2: it does [05:30] reisio - I want my users to be able to download my .deb package and double click it to install it [05:31] that only takes gdebi, IIRC [05:31] which is probably already installed [05:31] What is gdebi? [05:31] frontend to dpkg, IIRC [05:31] brianx: it seems tho that the behavior of the new GNOME scrollbars has to do with the theme settings, using xubuntu denial default theme and scrollbars in gtk 3 apps don't hide [05:32] When you double click a .deb file in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS it launches the Ubuntu Software Center. [05:32] xangua, probably uses gtk2 stuff in it [05:32] raymod2: should work, too, then [05:32] Xfce hasn't been ported to GTK+3 yet [05:32] It doesn't. [05:32] it's up to the theme, though [05:32] There is an Install button but when you click it nothing happens. [05:32] GTK+3 just has really asinine Mac OS style defaults [05:32] raymod2: reassociate it to use gdebi, then [05:33] reisio - I can't ask my users to do that [05:33] why would you [05:33] I need it to just work when my users double click the .deb file. [05:34] I'm guessing it will if you reassociate it to use gdebi [05:34] <[Saint]> which you also couldn;t ask every user to do. [05:34] I guess I don't understand what you are suggesting. [05:34] I'm not sure you two understand it [05:35] you wouldn't ask them to fix the software frontend, either [05:35] it's the same problem, only my suggestion is an actual solution [05:35] xangua: i'm a long term fedora user, this denial stuff wasn't in fedora so i've no clue [05:35] <[Saint]> reisio: only it isn't, because the intent is to minimize user interaction and have things Just Work. [05:36] Saint, yes exactly. [05:36] 하이 [05:36] hi [05:36] <[Saint]> I parse this as raymod2 as the distributor, and that flow being precisely what he wants to avoid. [05:36] 누구 없나요 [05:36] * reisio shakes head [05:37] something wrong with your logic circuits [05:37] anyway: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1573206 [05:37] Launchpad bug 1573408 in gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) "duplicate for #1573206 GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages" [High,Fix released] [05:37] <[Saint]> reisio: there's no logic failure there - it just flat out wasn't a valid solution. [05:37] I could also ask my users to open a terminal and run 'dpkg -i foo.deb' but most users would not be capable of doing that. [05:37] if you say "thing is broke and we can't get users to fix it" and I say "you can fix it by doing foo", and your response is "no!" then I don't know what else to say to you :p [05:37] <[Saint]> it was precisely what he wanted to avoid. [05:37] [Saint]: what was, doing anything at all? :p [05:37] <[Saint]> "manualy futzing around" does not a one click installer make. [05:38] I can identify with that, but it's pointless to complain and not try to fix things [05:38] brianx, denial stuff? [05:38] <[Saint]> reisio: sure, but, one assumes that asking the to micromanage this is (rightly) out of the question. [05:38] <[Saint]> *asking the user to [05:39] i assume it's something related to debian "alternatives", but no clue. was in reply to xangua's list of instructions for gnome scrollbars. [05:39] <[Saint]> I parsed the question not as "how can I get this working by any means" but more "why does this not work as I expect it". [05:39] I assumed he wanted things fixed for _his users_ because he controls _his users'_ installs [05:39] :p [05:39] jaro: it was unfortunately jiberish to me. [05:39] reisio - that bug report you mentioned sounds exactly like what I am seeing [05:39] well for that you want #ubuntu-philosophy-without-solutions :p [05:39] So this is a known issue? [05:40] I s'pose it's possible I linked to it because it isn't?... [05:40] :p [05:40] And since I created my .deb package from a 16.04 LTS installation it sounds like Ubuntu is rejecting any .deb file that doesn't come from its own repository. [05:41] <[Saint]> It isn't. [05:41] go to the end of the bug I linked to [05:42] hi [05:42] I was convinced this was a bug on the 3rd-party files I tried to install because I REFUSED TO BELIEVE an LTS release of Ubuntu would get this far with such bug, this is unacceptable. This is so sad. [05:42] I will consider this a "jump ship right NOW" warning, so I'll take it. [05:42] LOL [05:43] <[Saint]> If you needed it to work _right now_ I guess you could make a wrapper for it that just went through dpkg and then apt to resolve dependencies. [05:43] it's very common—but quite incorrect—to confuse "LTS" to mean "more stable" [05:43] eye,eye, matey [05:43] Saint, you mean package it inside an executable file? [05:43] [Saint]: now you're saying what I said earlier that you complained about :p [05:43] he means reassociate it to use gdebi :p [05:43] oh the times... [05:44] is it possible to force synaptic to use aria2 instead of wget for packages downloading? [05:44] <[Saint]> I mean nothing of the sort. [05:44] miladdd: undoubtedly [05:44] [Saint]: stop saying it then :p [05:44] How can I change a .deb file so that it will be opened by gdebi instead of Ubuntu Software Center? Doesn't every user need to do that himself? [05:44] raymod2: no [05:44] it's just a filetype association [05:45] Yes, and filetype associations are the domain of the end user. [05:45] How can I control what happens when an end user double clicks a .deb file? [05:45] only inasmuch as everything is the domain of the end user, once the end user is end using, if the end user so chooses [05:45] how is it? [05:46] I might as well just tell my end users to uninstall Ubuntu and install OS X. Because my OS X package "Just Works". [05:46] Or my Windows package. [05:46] good idea [05:47] just tape $70 for the OS to your package, and $2000 for the hardware [05:47] guys ubuntu apt get orking fine? [05:47] working* [05:47] codfection: ...yes? [05:47] <[Saint]> Ok. So you _are_ just trying to deliberately derail things. [05:47] <[Saint]> Good to know. [05:47] I am in airport and apt get update is not working [05:47] :( [05:47] codfection: maybe your connection is terrible [05:47] in an airport that'd not surprise me [05:48] perhaps [05:48] and one more thing [05:48] my chrome is not visible [05:48] last time I use pc it was there [05:48] where? [05:48] what could be the problem [05:48] in laptop [05:48] in the laptop, eh? [05:48] yea [05:48] <[Saint]> I had a feeling there for a while you were actually invested in the situation. Sorry about that reisio. [05:48] on the launcher? [05:48] let me show u pastebin [05:48] error [05:48] reisio, OS X is free. Where does the $70 come from? And hardware that runs Ubuntu is free? [05:48] [Saint]: ? [05:49] in dash and everywhere its gone [05:49] raymod2: no, it's not free :) [05:49] I downloaded it and installed it on a VM and I didn't notice a dip in my bank account. [05:49] codfection: maybe it's not installed [05:49] it was [05:49] raymod2: right, but you aren't going to tell the IRS that [05:49] reisio, [05:50] please check [05:50] codfection: maybe it isn't now [05:50] Why would the IRS care that I downloaded a free copy of OS X? [05:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16590579/ [05:50] raymod2: because it's not free :D [05:50] even in apt update its giving chrome error [05:50] <[Saint]> It is. [05:50] yesterday I had chrome installed [05:50] nawp [05:50] <[Saint]> It is. [05:50] nawp [05:50] I downloaded OS X *from Apple* [05:50] raymod2: to your apple computer? [05:50] [Saint]: then I totally got screwed on that snow cat thing i paid for... [05:51] ac1dh0n3ycl0ud: don't mind them, they're lost [05:51] No, to my PC that I built myself. [05:51] any one help me please. I had chrome installed now its gone and having this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/16590579/ [05:51] raymod2: like I said, you wouldn't be telling the IRS this :p [05:51] you build a vm? [05:51] My VM runs on my PC. [05:52] which you built? [05:52] and your Mac OS runs illegally on your VM :p [05:52] reisio: what? [05:52] <[Saint]> Wait wait wait...just so I'm clear, are you saying that it isn't "free" because you already paid for the Mac? [05:52] Yes, I built my PC with parts from NewEgg and Amazon. [05:52] <[Saint]> Because upgrading hasn't cost me a single penny. [05:52] [Saint]: you're suggesting things you paid for are free? :p [05:52] ipatrol: ? [05:52] any help guys? I guess its support irc ?? [05:52] [Saint]: because Apple is a jackdonkey [05:52] <[Saint]> I paid for the hardware, the OS on it in incidental. [05:52] this irc channel is filled with nonsense right now [05:53] abaddon_: ssdd ;) [05:53] LOL, abaddon [05:53] codfection: if you want chrome, install it [05:53] [Saint]: sure it is, heh [05:53] yes Father abaddon_, we know [05:53] reisio, I had it installed... [05:53] Let's just please find a solution so my users can double click my .deb file and install it on Ubuntu. [05:53] its gone automatically :O [05:53] and apt is having this error [05:53] codfection: that's unlikely, but hopefully of less concern than actually obtaining it [05:53] <[Saint]> ac1dh0n3ycl0ud: I'm guessing you missed the upgrade boundary and get caught with that weird $20 fee? [05:53] raymod2: already did [05:53] more than one [05:54] * ac1dh0n3ycl0ud nods [05:54] I'll click on your deb file and delete it [05:54] <[Saint]> ac1dh0n3ycl0ud: aha, right, that explains things. [05:54] reisio - I said "double click" not "become an Ubuntu expert to install my software" [05:54] it was ten dollars last time [05:54] raymod2: there's a bug for it [05:54] if sitting on your hands is your thing, keep it up [05:54] will work itself out soon enough [05:55] The bug was filed a month ago. [05:55] then fix it [05:55] oh yeah? [05:55] what time of day was it filed? [05:55] this fascinates me [05:55] tell me more :) [05:55] el oh el [05:55] LOL, let's get the guy who broke it to fix it. [05:55] well if it's a problem with GNOME, you won't have much luck [05:55] all GNOME bugs are features, IME [05:56] raymod2: sadly, that's typical GNOME development "logic" [05:56] canonical will probably fix it though [05:56] I hope I don't have this much trouble when I create a .rpm file for my Fedora users. [05:56] hi, when printing a directory to a file from the command line (ls *.txt > outfile.txt), is there a way to include some text before each file is listed in a new line? [05:56] if gnome won't [05:56] Why Ubuntu has stuck with them I'll never know [05:57] because people stick with GNOME [05:57] guys any idea for this error? [05:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/16590579/ [05:57] now why people do that... we'll never know :p [05:57] its got a cool name? [05:57] I think "it's not KDE" is the answer [05:57] reisio: I'm actually convinced that the GNOME package in Ubuntu is nothing more than a large collection of downstream packages to fix stuff the GNOME devs broke, like the Ship of Thesus. [05:58] maybe someone should create halfling [05:58] which is funny in a way [05:58] actually I kind of like kde [05:58] Guest69422 - you can use sed for that (after you create the file) [05:58] ac1dh0n3ycl0ud: I'm on KDE right now [05:58] some people do like KDE [05:58] not GNOME users, though :p [05:58] raymod2: how? [05:58] i've gone back and forth [05:58] kde best [05:58] reisio: I used to be a GNOME user [05:58] the operative word being "used to be" [05:58] been using Xfce since 2005 [05:59] hasn't betrayed me once [05:59] kde is a cadilac running on 3 cylinders [05:59] reisio: yes [05:59] no bizarre KDE 3 -> 4 shifts, no bizarre GNOME 2 -> 3 shifts [05:59] no lead developers leaving and going back to Mac OS [05:59] reisio: I have one machine on MATE, one on Xfce, and one on KDE [05:59] sed -i 's/\(.*\)/my prefix \1/' foo.txt [05:59] no Qt guit toolkit for-profit badly licensed nonsense :p [06:00] reisio: that 5h1t was resolved ages ago [06:00] reisio, is this error because of QT [06:00] i just don't like gnome because for all the resources it uses you'd think you'd be getting something nicer [06:00] i installed qt offline runner [06:00] ipatrol: which 5h1t? [06:00] about the Qt licensing [06:01] codfection: the reason the package you want to be installed is not installed is less important than how to install it again, IMO [06:01] and kde is too nice... in an intrusive way like 'what if i didn't want that' or 'what if that just doesn't work for some reason' [06:01] ac1dh0n3ycl0ud: "too nice"? [06:01] reisio, its automatically disappear [06:01] ipatrol: stink that doesn't go away, particularly since it's on its nth for-profit owner/developer [06:01] disappeared! [06:01] codfection: nope [06:01] yesterday I was using chromme [06:01] sadly magic does not really exist in this world [06:01] reisio: yeah, and GNOME is practically a Red Hat project by now [06:02] not the way we wan it to, not really, not without drugs :D [06:02] or ubuntu LTS is damn unstable that it removes my applications without my permission? [06:02] codfection: well, LTS doesn't mean stable [06:02] codfection: your ubuntu is a yandere :-P [06:02] but probably some way or another you told it to [06:02] no wonders its a free OS [06:03] ^ffr, good way to end conversations :p [06:03] reisio - what version of Ubuntu is stable? [06:03] codfection: MS proves you don't always get what you pay for [06:03] ipatrol, apple does thou [06:03] raymod2: no version, Ubuntu has no stable branch [06:03] it's sourced from Debian's unstable branch [06:03] codfection: apple is a PITA without the falafel [06:03] mmm, falafel, so good [06:04] raymod2: none of them all linux distros are completely unstable and and you cannot use them so better use windows [06:04] ipatrol: also it used to slow my machine down [06:04] Abe_: cute [06:04] I've had the chance to play around with a lot of OSes recently while porting my application and I have to say OS X is the nicest. [06:04] Abe_: which will crash stochastically and sells all your usage data to the NSA, and leaks all your user files to the Chinese [06:04] Abe_, yup no wonder business users use OS X [06:04] ipatrol: it wouldn't now but i'm still upset about it [06:05] and professionals [06:05] heh [06:05] convert to lindoze [06:05] i prefer dos [06:05] and they said linux is better than OS X lool [06:05] it's cute, when you send msgs [06:05] i think debian is [06:05] Apple otoh is collecting it for themselves so they can build Skynet and take over the world [06:06] won't work, skynet hates cardigans [06:06] makes its neck look big [06:06] reisio: turns out that's a compile-time option :-P [06:06] MS comes with free vaccines [06:06] --with-cardigan? [06:06] yeah [06:06] :p [06:06] that was a joke.. linux is a do it yourself thing.. you need to fight with it.and need to get a huge headache. but at one point, you have a nice running system [06:06] same bugs happen on any distribution of any OS [06:06] its not that big a headache [06:06] Abe_, and then one mistake and boom ur apps are gone [06:07] with an open source one, you can actually fix them yourself [06:07] Abe_: at least when Linux gives me a headache, I know how to get rid of it [06:07] unless you're too lazy [06:07] actually not even a mistake if I recall [06:07] mmm, sleepy time [06:07] with Windows if it doesn't go away on reboot, I'm at the mercy of MS' arcane system design and byzantine customer support department [06:07] adios mon amis [06:08] well I go through the headache and fix every little thing and them I'm happy :D... codfectio never happend to me actually [06:09] OSes should not give you a headache. None of them should. [06:09] of course, the wonderful thing about free software, is that if you lose all your apps, you can get them all back [06:09] in utopia [06:10] raymod2: ideally, but this is the real world we're living in [06:10] but we live in reality where an os is a complicated group of many pieces of software [06:10] Like a CPU that sometimes gives you incorrect results when you add 2 + 2. Just not acceptable. [06:10] my kubuntu runs stable.. I wouldn't have to restart for weeks if i don't want to, and for years it never slowed down on me even with hundreds of applications on it. [06:10] *cough*intel*cough* [06:10] all trying to accomplish all the tasks any random person might think of [06:11] never experienced that on windows [06:11] I do have FreeBSD running a web server on my Raspberry Pi and it hasn't been rebooted in 9 months. [06:11] my router has decent uptime, now that I have DD-WRT on it [06:11] hasent used bsd since 3.6 [06:12] abaddon_ - are you coughing about the Pentium floating point math error from 20 years ago? [06:13] raymod2: by the definition under Turing's theorem, every computer must be able to, given enough time and resources, be able to compute literally anything which can be represented by a finite-length program [06:13] no matter how completely bonkers it is [06:13] and that is why we only create infinite length programs from here on out [06:13] so windows won't crash [06:14] abaddon_: the busy beaver program [06:14] * abaddon_ is busy unrolling an infinite loop [06:15] abaddon_: so how are things going over at the Church of the Empty Inbox? :-P [06:17] here i have a problem with my pc that i wasn't able to solve yet.. everytime i restart my pc my fans just blow full speed :(.. i need to turn my pc completely off and back on and then my fans work correctly idk what causes it to behave like this after a restart? [06:18] has anyone used sed to append text to all new lines in a file? [06:18] well it seems pgl still works, it just aint working on my ubuntu install :( [06:18] I am trying to understand how it works... but I havent found an example. I need to append some text to all lines in a text file [06:19] I remember an old joke is that the difference between email and regular mail, is that email is delivered by computers, and computers don't just come in one day and decide to shoot all the other computers [06:19] Guest69422: usually Perl is good for that [06:19] could it be a kernel problem? [06:19] Guest69422 - what is wrong with the example I gave you? [06:19] Abe_: install fancontrol, then run pwmconfig as root [06:20] Guest69422: sed 's/$/text/' /path/to/file [06:20] raymod2: sorry, I didnt see it. Thanks [06:20] EriC^^: no, he said append [06:20] that replaces it [06:20] ipatrol: that appends [06:20] ipatrol: i'll look into it thx.. but do you think a program can fix this because the problem appears at boot [06:20] nop [06:21] what if all the recent errors we've collectively experienced are the computers going postal [06:21] and not the fault of sloppy code at all [06:21] Abe_: once you've run pwmconfig, fancontrol will come on at boot [06:21] what makes LTS version preferable over the normal version of ubuntu? [06:21] abaddon_: that would give programmers far too much credit. [06:21] or user error [06:21] meth: you don't have to upgrade every half year... [06:21] Eric's answer is more succint, though. [06:22] abaddon_: I was more going for a comparison between going postal and DDoS/email flooder scripts [06:22] ipatrol: ok i hope it won't make more problems i am running pwmconfig now as root [06:23] Abe_: it's an interactive program, do what it says [06:23] it's a trap [06:23] it's a fish [06:23] So LTS stands for 'long term support' but who is providing the support and how can I get some? [06:23] raymod2: Canonical, and by paying for it [06:23] pay for it [06:24] Odd that noone has paid Canonical to fix bug 1573206 yet.... [06:24] ipatrol: /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed [06:24] bug 1573408 in gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) "duplicate for #1573206 GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1573408 [06:24] meth, considered more stable, and means you won't have to upgrade as often, it receives regular security updates for a longer period. [06:24] Abe_: you may need to install the lm-sensors package [06:25] <[Saint]> Jaro: Meth usually makes people unstable. [06:25] if that doesn't work, it's a BIOS-level problem [06:25] [Saint], i'm still upset pgl is not working on my ubuntu install [06:25] ipatrol: can I find it if i search "lm-sensors" in synaptic? [06:26] <[Saint]> Jaro: Well, I don't see you blaming them for it. [06:26] [Saint], blaming who? [06:26] Abe_: you should [06:26] ipatrol: ok found it in synaptic [06:26] pgl? well it works in other distros. [06:26] sudo apt-get install lm-sensors [06:26] <[Saint]> Jaro: So? [06:26] so i blame ubuntu. [06:26] <[Saint]> Other sitros != Ubuntu. [06:26] It's starting to make sense now. Canonical provides these "LTS" releases with basic functionality broken and then charges people to fix it? [06:26] <[Saint]> So it is irrelevant. [06:26] abaddon_: is your username taken from Dresden Codak, or is it unrelated? [06:27] so i blame ubuntu. [06:27] <[Saint]> *distros, bah, typing. [06:27] ipatrol: unrelated [06:27] unity is a nightmare as well, it lives up to its reputation lol [06:27] <[Saint]> Jaro: you're free to do so, but, that won't make it right. [06:27] Let's say i would like to make email addresses and manage them, the easy way. How would i preceed? (mailbox, manage, create, delete) i am completely lost. (latest ubuntu) [06:27] it still says /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed [06:27] raymod2: no, they charge you to fix the things *you* break [06:27] do i need to restart> [06:27] ? [06:27] installing mint or debian would make it right. [06:27] Abe_: probably means your computer lacks kernel-accessible temperature sensors [06:28] <[Saint]> Jaro: So do so. No one cares what distro you use, or why. [06:28] older machine? [06:28] I didn't break Ubuntu Software Center... [06:28] yes you did [06:28] [Saint], you care [06:28] i saw you [06:28] ipatrol: weird cuz i have an temperature widget on my desktop... [06:29] [Saint], i'm gonna wait till the mint 18 beta comes out next month and just install that. [06:29] Abe_: then you probably lack any kernel-accessible *fan* controllers [06:29] [Saint], ubuntu is feeling too much like windows to me now. [06:29] and the whole point is try and avoid using windows now and be linux only. [06:29] sometimes you have to change an option in the BIOS to allow the OS access to the fan [06:29] xangua, jaro, and reisio, thank you all. <3 my desktop again. no annoying shadows, real scrollbars, normal menus, all the crap that was broken (to me) in ubuntu is suddenly fixed! [06:29] <[Saint]> Jaro: it is really difficult for me to convey in writing how little I care. I'm sorry. [06:29] well not to do this here but windows has some good points [06:30] ipatrol: this might be very well possible... [06:30] Jaro: [microscopic violin starts playing] [06:30] abaddon_, the operating itself is good, just don't trust microsoft. [06:30] brianx: did you switch to xfce? :-P [06:30] lately its hard to remember that but i like the base style of older operating systems like windows 95/xp [06:30] xangua: nope, mate. [06:30] Jaro, especially with Windows 10 they have gone off the rails with privacy intrusion [06:30] ipatrol: I don't think i can;t do this in my uefi [06:30] i of course like to customize a bit as well [06:30] can* [06:31] Abe_: if it's uEFI, it should be even easier [06:31] abaddon_, ya after windows 7 they pretty much went bad business. [06:31] vista was the downhill slide for me [06:31] I thought you were using an older system [06:31] raymod2, not even just that, things they have done to try and force upgrades are just insane. [06:31] sure 7 was better but it was too late [06:31] xangua: i thought about xfce but wanted something a bit more complete. i miss the available widgets n things available in a bigger desktop. i just don't want anything that some developer said "that looks cool" on my desktop. === Nullifi3d is now known as Nullifi3d|Pi [06:31] raymod2, almost criminal [06:31] abaddon_: I didn't have any real problems with Vista, but I can't use >7 [06:32] the only reason i even have a windows partition is for my aerodrums and im constantly hounding the devs to make a linux port. [06:32] raymod2, did you hear the latest. they broke secureboot on purpose for people using windows 7 and asus motherboards. [06:32] ipatrol: no my Uefi is really dumb. but i will look again. any clues what i should look under even though you dont know my uefi chip nor version [06:32] raymod2, whats crazy is how they publicly admit they are doing these thigns like its all ok not wrong. [06:32] its the resource requiremeents [06:32] abaddon_: aerodrums? have you asked the Ububtu Studio project to look into it? [06:32] No, I didn't hear that. [06:33] raymod2, ya can you imagine? you go to turn on your pc and it doesn't boot haha [06:33] chances are if you are a power user you didn't notice because your system was already more than capable [06:33] because microsoft said srcew you for not updating to windows 10. of course they deny thats the reason why they did it. but what else coudl it be. [06:34] raymod2, but they ahve been constantly sabotaging their own users time and time again the past year. [06:34] aerodrums are invisible drums that utilize a pseyetoy to track some reflective tape [06:34] Jaro: it is the m.o. of evil to claim there is nothing wrong with what they're doing [06:34] abaddon_: yeah, ask the studio project [06:34] there is no way in hell i would ever use another windows. [06:34] they are criminal now. [06:34] Question: is Canonical less evil than Microsoft? [06:34] raymod2, i'm starting to wonder right now. [06:35] ... [06:35] raymod2: yes [06:35] hopefully someone eventually makes something similar open source [06:35] my inital response is yes. but the more i use ubuntu, the more i'm growing concerned. [06:35] LESS evil? certaily. [06:35] i think mint is less evil then ubuntu [06:35] in the world of evildoers, Canonical is small fry [06:35] Jaro: why [06:35] debian less evil then mint [06:35] Jaro: why concerned, that is [06:35] LOL, "Canonical: the small fry evildoer" [06:35] Nullifi3d|Pi, not liking the unity desktop for one. I feel like i'm being limited in alot of ways. it also uses way more memory then it should. [06:36] you have to appreciate that all the hardware makers out there are already pwned. the software you run doesn't really matter [06:36] so change it? [06:36] Nullifi3d|Pi, at this moment, its the fact my peerguardian is not working properly on ubuntu for mysterious reaosns i can't figure out. [06:36] thats the beauty of linux, completely customizable [06:36] there's probably a backdoor in your ISP's router that's sitting in your house [06:36] <[Saint]> If only you could change the DE to anything you preferred... [06:36] <[Saint]> Oh well... [06:36] Gallomimia, i know there is, its publick knowledge on mine [06:36] ergo, fussing about whether canonical is bad news, well. [06:36] <[Saint]> Jaro: you're fussing about having to cut off your feet because you hate your new shoes. [06:36] Gallomimia, well we all should i assume our routers are hostile [06:37] <[Saint]> News Flash: shoes come off. [06:37] Gallomimia, but your pc is still the endpoint. you can still encryupt stuff past your router. [06:37] Jaro: and... i've seen appliances made by mcaffee that claim to be able to decrypt all traffic passing thru [06:37] hahah [06:37] and they work. [06:37] <[Saint]> and who in their right mind uses telco supplied routers? [06:37] everyone. [06:37] [Saint]: you often have to [06:38] <[Saint]> Uuuugh. [06:38] we don't get a choice. [06:38] Gallomimia, well when it comes to ssl, they can forge certificates [06:38] you can ask them nicely to activate "bridge" mode [06:38] Gallomimia, i'd say thats pretty rare and nsa stuff though. [06:38] Gallomimia - how does mcaffee decrypt traffic? They have defeated AES? [06:38] or elite criminal organizations [06:38] who are about money not the lulz [06:38] Jaro: yes. this particular network disallowed things that it couldn't decrypt. for example, i couldn't use SSH [06:38] raymod2: i don't know. but i spoke to the network tech [06:39] and it works. [06:39] <[Saint]> Gallomimia: it was a joke - of course they haven't. [06:39] raymod2, mcafee is smoking too much of that meth :) [06:39] forged certs as jaro said [06:39] ya thats the only way i can see [06:39] <[Saint]> McAfee is just plain nuts dude. [06:39] and its not as crazy as it sounds, because there is so many ca's now. [06:39] i'm sure there is gov't controlled ones. and some corrupt ones. [06:39] <[Saint]> Batshit insane. [06:39] and this wasn't a super government entity. it was a gold mine [06:39] Jaro: are you implying there's a difference? [06:40] <[Saint]> If McAfee could decrypt AES, he would've started at least two world wars by now already. [06:40] Jaro, well the mafia and cia are two sides of the same coin. but yes they are diff. [06:40] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5.5-yakkety/ => what is yakkety? [06:40] [Saint], you can forge ssl certs. [06:41] i doubt hes decrypting aes, maybe in his dreams. [06:41] meth: next ubuntu [06:41] but we do rely on ssl to get past our hostile routers. [06:41] and prevent sniffing from hostile devices on our networks. [06:42] but the endpoint is still always the most important cause all the encryption in the world matters not then. [06:42] who chose this name for the next ubuntu and what that name means? [06:42] which is why i find whatsapp on android phones hilarious [06:42] meth: Mark [06:42] I can suggest better names [06:42] !yakkety [06:42] Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) will be the 25th release of Ubuntu. It is due to be released in October 2016. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [06:42] :D [06:42] i like this name [06:42] I generally assume that every router not physically in my control, as well as all wireless lines, are susceptible to active traffic manipulation [06:43] it symbolizes this channel [06:43] <[Saint]> , in alphabetical run order. [06:43] <[Saint]> It has been like this for an eternity. [06:43] ipatrol, ya but like gallomimia said almost all firmware has hardcoded backdoors now. [06:43] so, they're at Y already?? [06:43] <[Saint]> Yes. [06:43] you have to install like open source firmware or something. [06:43] <[Saint]> Well...technically X. [06:43] <[Saint]> Y is +1 [06:43] which was actually easier in the late 90s early 2000s [06:43] zany zebra [06:43] speaking of which i'm still waiting for my time machine... [06:43] Jaro: i've seen a security presentation on what could be done if you had such firmware backdoors all across the country. faster-than-light MitM attacks [06:44] cause the internet sucks nowadays lol [06:44] Jaro: not even that: the NSA has made hard drive malware that can't be removed in any way [06:44] <[Saint]> Gallomimia: ummmm...nothing travels faster than light, dude. [06:44] Gallomimia, back int he days i use to use tomato on a linksys wrt54g [06:44] <[Saint]> Nothing. [06:44] oh yeah i saw that one [06:44] [Saint]: you obviously missed the point. [06:44] Gallomimia, i don't even think tomato exists anymore... [06:44] <[Saint]> You made a flawed statement? [06:44] <[Saint]> No...I got that. [06:44] it does [06:44] if you'd shut up i'll explain further [06:44] [Saint]: you're acting autistic? [06:44] Hi guys! Can anybody point me in the right direction? My ALFA card keeps disconnecting on ubuntu 16.04 :( [06:45] ipatrol, are you being serious? i thought only thing that is well maintained now is the umm what ya call it [06:45] so they took the name from a famous song at 60s [06:45] ok, break time's over! [06:45] that's poor choice of names [06:45] meth: ask Mark [06:45] ipatrol, openwrt, because even dd-wrt is not well maintained anymore [06:45] they should named it Vista! [06:45] ipatrol, and even if you can find these things you have to hope you have an old ass router they actually work on. [06:45] openwrt is all there is now, and its not easy. [06:46] pennTeller: what chipset is it? [06:46] as the attack goes, a router in the network closer than the packet's destination forges IP's and MACs and sends an injected packet, causing the real one to be rejected as a duplicate. in this way the attack "beats" the speed of light. [06:46] Jaro: dd-wrt is the only thing that's compatible with my router [06:46] back in the days tomato and dd-wrt were popular and chances are your currnet router worked well with them. [06:46] it doesn't *GO* faster than light, it has an injection method to beat it [06:46] ipatrol, let me get that for you one sec [06:46] ipatrol, ah you are lucky [06:47] ipatrol, RTL8187 [06:47] ipatrol, only things well maintained now are offensive hacking tools which people call "security" haha [06:47] and if you want to use a defensive tool, or like ask about one on irc. you are deterred. [06:47] Jaro: the thing has a pitiful memory and flash storage [06:48] ipatrol, your router? so it gets bogged down all the time? [06:48] Jaro: I don't know where you get that from, and I'm a pentester myself [06:48] just listen to the insults i get for wanting to use pgl on my ubuntu.

[06:48] Jaro: no, becuase my home network is very small, but it amazes me how it can work on so little hardware [06:48] stick to ubuntu support please [06:49] Hai! [06:49] ipatrol, ya its great. wish it worked on my router lol [06:49] it only works on a real old revision of it. [06:50] Where is Mark? [06:50] yo Mark [06:50] ipatrol, i always preferred tomato to dd-wrt back int eh days, cause the qos settings worked better for me. [06:50] <[Saint]> Jaro: if you find one instance of being insulted personally for wanting to use pgl, I'll buy and ship you a cookie of your flavor shoice. [06:50] There is not Mark in the users list [06:50] no* [06:51] [Saint], lol you arealdy know you are who i was referring to. [06:51] logs or it didn't happen [06:51] someone tell him to change the name to Vista. [06:51] <[Saint]> Jaro: excatly, whci is why I made the claim. [06:51] <[Saint]> I know you're lying.

[06:57] never heard of it [06:57] pennTeller: probably XD [06:57] yes, let's move on [06:57] pennTeller: yup [07:03] I'm having a hell of a time with a desktop environment issue I could use some help === _CNU_ is now known as CNL_ [07:04] I'm trying to move to unity from xfce, I completely removed xfce but fail to get my desktop to attempt to load the default ubuntu environment (unity) [07:05] I've purged and autoremoved everything I can, I've installed ubuntu-desktop from the terminal environment and rebooted but still nothing works so far [07:06] Infern0: can you select unity when you log in? [07:06] no or I'd have done that and skipped all this =( [07:06] 7j [07:06] xfce didn't give me the option to do that [07:06] not sure why [07:07] Infern0: there is no entry for unity on the login screen at all? [07:07] correct [07:07] but I've removed everything, unity should be the only thing left [07:07] still nothing [07:08] it still tries to load an empty xfce desktop with a background, a mouse and nothing else [07:08] lightdm is the default display maager, it will let you choose options only if there are more than one to choose from, you already removed xfce so it should default to unity [07:09] I agree and after a reboot that shouldn't be needed, it should have just acted like a fresh install as far as desktop environment [07:10] Infern0: did you remove xfce packages or did you try removing xubuntu-desktop? [07:10] I purged the xfce4 common lib then also autoremoved xfce4 [07:11] Infern0: then i get the feeling you might have missed something but i wouldn't know what sorry [07:12] how to i switch it to unity from the terminal? [07:14] Infern0: it should just have been a case of installing ubuntu-desktop, logging out, choosing unity in lightdm and logging in again. not sure why you wanted to remove the option for xfce (removing desktop environments often causes hassles like this and you gain very little space from doing so) === gms is now known as Guest2230 [07:28] Hi guys, any help fixing an ALFA wifi card with chipset rtl8187 that keeps dropping the connection for no aparent reason?

This can happen if you haven't provided a ClientTransportPlugin line, or if your pluggable transport proxy stopped running. [07:38] i want to join to tor network . can you help me ? [07:39] abb4s, have you downloaded the TOR browser?

[10:06] [Saint], the topic can only be so long, the factoids help [10:07] <[Saint]> bazhang: Oh, sure, I'm aware. I just figure it could be lumped in with the channel guidelines. [10:09] <[Saint]> maybe it is a reach but it seems to fit reasonably well with general channel conduct.

[15:16] yes [15:17] BluesKaj: and it is open:) [15:17] it didn't like that command [15:17] then check it's audio output settings and set for hdmi or which ever output you plan to use [15:18] BluesKaj: problem is it does not found HDMI-output:) [15:18] parkfae: ok, try set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/grub [15:18] then type insmod normal [15:18] BluesKaj: that why I am asking how I can configure it?:) [15:18] it cannot see HDMI-output [15:18] robotti^, that's because your digital signal/pcm spdif might be turned off [15:19] in alsamixer , robotti^ [15:19] so [15:19] what I must do? [15:19] EriC^, it didn't say anything back to me, but it didn't say unknown command either [15:19] turn the pcm up and spdif on, robotti^ [15:19] did you try insmod normal? [15:19] EriC^, i'm sorry, i don't know what that means [15:19] BluesKaj: I have already did that [15:20] parkfae: it's a command [15:20] Could you all take a look at this: and tell me which of these automatic updates most likely is giving me all these weird graphics (kernel?) problems? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16605039/ [15:20] it did not have any effect [15:20] EriC^, i haven't seen it anywhere yet, so i have to assume i haven't [15:20] BluesKaj: i can output using aplay, so it is not about mute [15:21] parkfae: try insmod normal [15:21] robotti^, check alsamixer again, then run alsactl store in the terminal to save your settings , mthen try a relogin [15:21] semitones_rex: Why is your kernel so old? [15:21] Umeaboy, LTS? [15:21] BluesKaj: alsactl store? [15:21] yes with sudo [15:21] Latest official kernel for Ubuntu is 4.4.0-22-generic I think. [15:21] EriC^, it says it's still not found [15:22] Umeaboy, I am on 14.04 LTS [15:22] parkfae: ok, try ls (hd0,msdos1)/grub/ [15:22] parkfae: can you make another live usb? [15:22] OK. Can't you upgrade? [15:22] 16.04 LTS have been released. [15:23] !ltsupgrade | Umeaboy [15:23] Umeaboy: Users of 14.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 16.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for July 21st. [15:23] EriC^, uhhhh it said file '/grub/' not found [15:23] BluesKaj: I did [15:23] Hmmmmmmmmm. OK. [15:23] parkfae: try ls (hd0,msdos1)/ [15:23] of course you can reinstall cleanly. or maye there is another trick to avoid reinstalling [15:23] EriC^, and yeah, i can make a new one... i've used a few different programs to try to make one since they all seem to not work somehow... [15:24] EriC^, and it's saying filesystem is ext2 again [15:24] parkfae: did you disable fastboot and secureboot? [15:24] robotti^, ok what does pavucontrol show in the output dropdown? [15:24] EriC^, no, but i'm also not sure how to do that [15:25] parkfae: In your BIOS settings. [15:25] parkfae: ok, can you enter the bios boot options and take a screenshot? [15:25] EriC^, I'll try! === almost_suicide is now known as depressed [15:25] Umeaboy, 16.04 had the same visual tears / graphics problems, etc., that my system now has after my most recent automatic update === depressed is now known as depressed_ [15:25] EriC^, I'm trying to install it on my new desktop and seeking help for it on my laptop, so i might have to get creative :P [15:25] I swapped video cards and now my hdmi audio out is a lot lower, is there anyway I can increase it other than turning up my receiver ? [15:25] Usually it's by pressing F12 when screen starts showing output. [15:26] Hi, I need a USB image creator software, Make Startup Disk doesn't work. [15:26] BluesKaj: same thing before [15:26] Slaizer: Why not use dd in Terminal? [15:26] semitones_rex, don't upgrade to 16.04 from 14.04, it's not ready for that yet. [15:26] Umeaboy, that's why i'm trying to undo the update for whichever package is offending, or otherwise track downt he problems [15:26] CMOS is different than BIOS, right? [15:26] robotti^, what did pavucontrol show before ? [15:26] parkfae: use your phone, does the usb boot on the desktop? [15:26] CMOS is the older BIOS. [15:27] Umeaboy, that's not accurate [15:27] pauljw, I was testing from the live cd, and considering a fresh install. However I'm getting lots of gfx/kernel problems that I don't understand. [15:27] Umeaboy, how does the procedure go? [15:27] parkfae, in this context, CMOS is generally the settings storage for your BIOS [15:27] thanks, habbie! [15:27] parkfae: How many drives do you have in this machine? [15:27] I would like to report a bug/regression, but I don't know which package this could be. [15:28] Jordan_U, should just be my hard drive and the USB when it's plugged in [15:28] BluesKaj: it does show analog output, digital stereo, analog input, analog [15:29] is there a ubuntu server channel? or is this the right place? [15:29] BluesKaj: basically outputs and inputs for intel HDA [15:29] Slaizer: Format your drive as FAT32, then check with mount command how it's mounted and then type sudo dd if=/path/to/your/iso of=/dev/sdX where X is to be changed into the drive letter. Also add bs=4M && sync in the end of that command. [15:29] LargePrime, #ubuntu-server [15:30] thanks squinty [15:30] So the full command would look like this: sudo dd if=/path/to/my/iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync [15:30] Umeaboy, this is what my computer looks like http://imgur.com/3hDA5AL [15:30] Ooooooooooooooooooouch. [15:30] Umeaboy, this page will do: http://askubuntu.com/questions/372607/how-to-create-a-bootable-ubuntu-usb-flash-drive-from-terminal? [15:30] Umeaboy, So I'm trying to roll back whatever package caused things to be like that [15:30] BluesKaj: maybe I just should edit /etc/asound.conf? [15:30] Is it showing the same behaviour in the installation or in the screen fine then? === depressed_ is now known as almost_suicide [15:31] semitones_rex, i can't help you with your bug issue, but i don't recommend 16.04 yet. if you recently updated the 14.04 kernel, you might try going to the previously working one and see if the tearing goes away. i think you hold shift down during boot to reach the grub screen that will allow you to do that. someone with more experience will hopefully correct me if i'm wrong on that. [15:31] parkfae: Can you boot from that USB drive using a different machine? It may need to be re-prepared for booting if Ubuntu's installer replaced its bootloader (which it shouldn't have done). [15:31] Slaizer: If you know the right mount path to your drive yes. [15:31] Umeaboy, It shows this behavior on the 16.04 live cd "try ubuntu" and on my current 14.04 LTS installation. As far as I know, my windows partition is not affected. [15:32] pauljw, That is a good idea -- that could be the first thing I try - going back to the previous kernel [15:32] Jordan_U, I can try... lemme brb and i'll report the results as best i can [15:32] robotti^, I have intel-hda too, but I don't use pulseaudio and pavucontrol, it's not necessary if you use only one souirce at a time. That's how i solve my audio output problem [15:32] semitones_rex: Can you try to boot a gParted Live iso to check that as well? [15:32] BluesKaj: I am using multiple === abhishek_ is now known as Guest21502 [15:32] Umeaboy, I could do that. So, 1. test the older kernel. 2. Test a gparted live iso? [15:33] semitones_rex: Yes. [15:34] Or you could go to the extreme and test unstable testing versions of the latest kernel. [15:34] From the ppa of the Kernel Team. [15:34] robotti^, multiple sources or multiple outputs from a single source? [15:35] Umeaboy, I'm more an LTS user than a unstable testing user :P, but I would consider it if this were a newer computer. It is from 2007 [15:35] i installed ubuntu-desktop after installing kubuntu. now unity works but the "system tray" is not visible. how can i get it back? [15:35] akik: Resolution to big? [15:35] akik: there's no "system tray" in unity [15:36] semitones_rex, yeah, i would stay away from the unstable stuff. [15:36] xangua: really? how do i set network settings and audio volume? [15:36] akik in unity, there's a launch bar on the left [15:36] akik: those are called "indicators" [15:37] pauljw, agreed :) [15:37] so i need to always go through the system settings app? [15:37] Well, if gParted doesn't show the same behaviour I'd still test the unstable kernel. [15:37] Umeaboy, does gparted live use a newer kernel? (i'm thinking the bug may show up in combination with the display driver ubuntu chooses) [15:37] akik: if by system tray you mean you expect to see a specific KDE or another program icon there? [15:38] semitones_rex: Could be. [15:38] What card do you have in it? [15:38] xangua: i was expecting to see volume control and network manager applet there. i'm in unity now [15:38] Okay, chatting from my phone (won't be able to read responses while typing thanks to mobile layout) - I'm in my laptop's bios (I think), trying to get it to boot from the USB [15:38] akik: Aaaaah, the old KDE4 desktop environment you mean? [15:39] Umeaboy: no, i'm in unity now [15:39] Umeaboy, I tried this command and it did not function: sudo dd if=/home/lubuntu/Downloads/Windows 10 Pro VL X64 v1511 MULTi-7 April 2016 {Gen2} of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync. What is wrong? [15:39] akik: what exactly did you install? [15:39] akik: Yeah, but you were expecting to see the KDE4 desktop, right? [15:39] xangua: ubuntu-desktop and unity and compizconfig-settings-manager [15:39] BluesKaj: I need input from soundcard and to output to HDMI [15:40] Umeaboy: no, i was expecting to see the "system tray" equivalent of unity [15:40] Oh hey it might be working... I should select "try Ubuntu without installing", yes? (My laptop is a piece of shit) [15:40] Is there a way to modify the default file association for a specific mime type in a .deb package? I tried using 'xdg-mime default ...' in the postinst script and that works when the user installs using 'dpkg -i foo.deb' but it doesn't work when the user installs through the Ubuntu Software Center. [15:40] Slaizer: I don't see an .iso in the end at Windows 10 Pro VL X64 v1511 MULTi-7 April 2016 {Gen2} [15:40] parkfae_: yes [15:40] akik: you'll need to find whatever programs to support indicator or install the full ubuntu-desktop metapackage [15:40] xangua: i installed ubuntu-desktop [15:41] Mmmm [15:41] akik: try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [15:41] robotti^, yes, pcm and spdif provide the digital signal to your graphics card hdmi output [15:41] Alright. I got the purple load screen... so far so good [15:41] Slaizer, you need to enclose the filename in quotes when it contains spaces like that, or otherwise escape the spaces. [15:41] Okay, it's up and going [15:42] robotti^, also to the digital output of your soundcard [15:42] EriC^: that only tells me to install pinentry-curses and pinentry-doc [15:42] BluesKaj: Analog source to HDMI output? [15:42] akik: did you try restarting? [15:42] and I also use pulseaudio network-server [15:43] B0g4r7_, tried this: sudo dd if=/home/lubuntu/Downloads/Windows 10 Pro VL X64 v1511 MULTi-7 April 2016 {Gen2}/W10PRO.VLX64.MULTi7.Apr2016.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M && sync [15:43] dd: unrecognized operand ‘10’ [15:43] Try 'dd --help' for more information. [15:43] robotti^, what analog source , like microphone ? [15:43] So it seems like the live USB is working on my laptop [15:43] Slaizer: PM please. [15:43] parkfae_: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [15:43] Slaizer, Indeed. I recommend you try my suggestion. [15:43] Umeaboy, how do I find out the card again? I believe it's a geforce 300 something [15:43] In the terminal? [15:44] B0g4r7_, will do so [15:44] Slaizer: you can't dd a windows iso i think [15:44] Umeaboy, 'about this computer' says graphics Gallium 0.4 on NVA3 but I have no idea what that means [15:44] parkfae_: yes [15:44] BluesKaj: Like MT-32 [15:44] EriC^: i rebooted but the indicators are still missing [15:45] IDK..."iso" files were meant to be written onto CD-ROMs. That's probably not what he's doing. [15:45] parkfae_: Is the laptop the machine that had a problem booting after installing Ubuntu? [15:45] BluesKaj: I am using it when playing old adventure games and dos games:) [15:45] ser [15:45] I output midi using usb and it outputs analog sound back my soundcard [15:45] then I output it using HDMI [15:45] akik: you can try reset unity ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/04/reset-unity-and-compiz-settings-in-ubuntu-14-04 [15:46] Umeaboy, 'Additional Drivers' says Nvidia GT215 (GeForce GT 240) [15:46] ^good idea, see if it does the same in the guest account akik [15:46] Eric^ temporary failure in name resolution [15:46] !winusb | Umeaboy [15:46] Umeaboy: WinUSB is a tool for preparing bootable Windows Instalation USBs. Please see http://en.congelli.eu/prog_info_winusb.html for instructions on installation and use. #ubuntu does *not* provide support for this tool, so please do not ask for help here if it doesn't work for you. [15:46] parkfae_: do you have internet on the laptop? [15:47] ... yes, but it didn't autoconnect. Lemme try again [15:47] hi there [15:48] is it possible to turn off animations (fade effects) when i minimize or maximize menus/windows on ubuntu 16.04? [15:48] how to remove apache2 completely along with all the relevant file(.conf and var/www/ --files--) and reinstall [15:48] termbin.com/d3lv [15:49] parkfae_: Ok, so we know that the USB drive is still bootable (though it may be bootable via UEFI but not via BIOS). Now we need to get it to boot your Desktop again. [15:49] i guess there will be some issues after reinstalling [15:49] robotti^, that's an unfamiar device to me, does pavucontrol see the midi signal or has it in the past / [15:49] ? [15:50] how to remove apache2 completely along with all the relevant file(.conf and var/www/ --files--) and reinstall [15:50] Jordan_U, could I have accidentally done something to the desktop to make it fuck up like that? [15:50] i guess there will be some issues after reinstalling [15:50] Jordan_U, regardless, is there a specific next step? [15:51] parkfae_: is this the laptop of desktop? [15:51] *or [15:51] Eric^, I booted unbuntu on the laptop [15:51] parkfae_: While you're still booted into your laptop, please check if it's booted via BIOS or via UEFI. [15:51] Jordan_U: WinUSB is broken. [15:51] Jordan_U, can you tell me how to do that? [15:51] parkfae_: oh, the laptop doesn't seem to have ubuntu installed [15:52] Eric^, yeah, I still just have windows on my laptop [15:52] parkfae_: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [15:53] BluesKaj: It does not matter [15:53] EriC^: I asked parkfae_ to test the LiveUSB on another machine to confirm that the liveUSB is good (since it's not booting on the desktop at the moment either). [15:53] Jordan_U bash: [: missing ']' [15:54] BluesKaj: I just need hdmi output working using pulseaudio [15:54] of course I could reinstall system [15:54] parkfae_: Spaces are meaningful :) [15:54] Jordan_U: oh ok [15:54] I'm sorry guys, I'm really not tech savvy :< [15:55] parkfae_ you did build your own pc, no? [15:55] Also, I put in a space?? I typed [ -d [15:55] how to remove apache2 completely along with all the relevant file(.conf and var/www/ --files--) and reinstall. i guess there will be some issues after reinstalling [15:56] I cant convert mp3 audio with soundconverter [15:56] BluesKaj: http://utdream.org/post.cfm/resetting-pulseaudio-on-ubuntu-13-04-new-sound-card [15:56] MonkeyDust, yes, wit a great amount of anxiety and uncertainty... [15:56] Junka try winff [15:56] BluesKaj: that might solve my problem [15:56] is there any option to turn off fade effect in ubuntu 16.04? [15:56] MonkeyDust: oh thanks [15:57] robotti^, pastebin your alsamixer in imgur.com [15:57] I am getting kernel panics, how can i debug them? [15:57] thinky: fade window effect? Launched fade? Either was try unity-tweak-tool [15:57] They are not 100% reproducible but they happen very often when I do video decoding [15:57] Either way [15:57] but often they also happen when I dont do video decoding at all [15:57] MonkeyDust, plus, putting it together is way different than trying to wrangle the software [15:57] xangua: yes windows effect [15:58] is there a way to turn off without tweak tool? [15:58] parkfae_: which software did you use to make the live usb? [15:58] Does anyone here have any experience making .deb packages? [15:58] est: What's the message? [15:59] raymod2 ask your real question [15:59] Check in journalctl -xe [15:59] thinky: install compiz settings manager [15:59] raymod2, i've done it in the past, why? [15:59] EriC^ I tried a few different ones... universal USB installer made the live USB I'm currently using [15:59] Umeaboy: gparted CD takes a long time to boot (can't find cpu0, buffer io error on device sr0) but gets there [15:59] parkfae_: did you try linux live usb creator? [15:59] MonkeyDust, Habbie: I want to change the default file assocation for a specific mime type during package installation but I can't figure out how to do it. [15:59] semitones: I know. [16:00] But it's really recommended to burn the iso to a USB drive. [16:00] raymod2 better ask in #ubuntu-app-devel [16:00] ok i will try [16:01] Eric^, is that downloadable at linuxliveusb.com? [16:01] Either system wide or just for the user who installed the package is fine. But since pacakge installation runs as root I don't seem to have access to the user who installed it. [16:01] Umeaboy: why is that? I don't have many usbs [16:01] parkfae_: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS [16:01] parkfae_: yes [16:01] raymod2: there's no such thing as "default file association". There's "here's what gnome will execute for such a thing" and probably KDE has its own thing as well. [16:02] EriC^, Rufus was the other one I tried. This one I haven't yet. [16:02] parkfae_: Copy and paste it if needed, but run exactly that and it will work. The space you forgot was between "efi" and "]". [16:02] parkfae_: give it a shot, it's a good one [16:02] Seveas - sure there is. I can do it as a user via 'xdg-mime default foo.desktop text/csv'. [16:02] semitones: Well, I experience less to none errors with USB and the USB can be overwritten again if something goes wrong [16:02] raymod2: yes, that's "what the current user will execute" [16:03] raymod2: you may have some luck sticking something in /usr/share/applications [16:03] Seveas - there is also a system-wide default file association but I haven't figured out yet where it is stored. [16:03] look at gimp.desktop in that dir for example. [16:03] BluesKaj: imgur.com? [16:03] Jordan_U, it said UEFI [16:03] raymod2: but in those .desktop files you can only say "I can handle this mimetype", not "I want to be default for this mimetype" [16:04] EriC^, so just format the USB and try with that program instead? [16:04] BluesKaj: I am trying reinstalling alsa and pulseaudio [16:04] parkfae_: yeah === abhishek_ is now known as Guest30702 [16:04] purge and reinstall:) [16:04] Seveas - yes, I already have it working where the user can right-click the file and my app appears in the "open with" list [16:04] parkfae_: Then the USB drive may still be broken when it comes to BIOS based booting. [16:04] Umeaboy: true. Ok booting from previous kernel now: 3.13 [16:04] robotti^, ok good luck [16:05] On a related note is there a way to add my app to the user's favorites (in the left side bar)? [16:05] parkfae_: try to enable uefi and boot the live usb on the broken laptop [16:05] Like on Windows when you install an application and it places a link on the user's desktop... [16:05] parkfae_: So definitely try re-preparing the USB drive. [16:06] raymod2 yes, navigate to /usr/share/applications/ ... drag the icon of choice to the launchbar [16:06] can it be done without creating link explicilty [16:06] Umeaboy, I dont find any "panic" in journalctl -xe [16:06] raymod2: no. Package installs are not supposed/allowed to do anything in /home [16:06] MonkeyDust - I want to do this for the user when they install my .deb package. [16:06] EriC^: It's parkfae_'s desktop that is currently not booting. [16:06] EriC^ Jordan_U I'm gonna redo the USB and be back for more instructions... BRB and thank you for everything so far!! I really appreciate how you break it all down so easy :') [16:06] Umeaboy, is it possible that it doesnt record it into the journalß [16:06] ? [16:07] est: What is the message you see on the screen? Can you make a clear screenshot of it? [16:07] Jordan_U: no i think he said his new desktop he wants to install it to, and he already has it on his laptop but it gives a grub rescue> [16:07] Umeaboy, I dont see any message on the screen at all [16:07] I just see a freeze [16:07] mouse doesnt move [16:07] est: PM. [16:08] Seveas - how are you supposed to modify /home/user if not in a package script? [16:08] squit [16:08] quit [16:08] raymod2 that's more a dev channel, like #ubuntu-app-devel [16:08] raymod2: you're supposed not to. [16:08] Question about VPN' [16:08] raymod2 more for* [16:09] Umeaboy: hey, this kernel has no problems [16:09] Seveas - so there is no equivalent to a Windows installer in Ubuntu? === Dorami-Doraemon is now known as Dorami- [16:09] If i want my whole LAN to be on a VPN, can I just use a second NIC card in my Ubuntu Machine using VPN Client connected to a switch? [16:10] raymod2: correct. [16:10] .deb packages are far more constrained in what they can and cannot do. This is a good thing. [16:11] Seveas, thanks. [16:11] What is the preferred way to specify to not use the latest kernel? [16:11] semitones: Then I guess Ubuntu really have a problem. :) [16:11] semitones: remove the package for the latest kernel [16:12] semitones: Text based installation from the mini.iso? [16:12] semitones: and file a bug [16:12] I'm having trouble with the GUI program that installs programs. (I'm new to desktop Linux.) I have no idea what's wrong with it but it won't complete an install and gave me a cryptic error dialog [16:12] how to remove apache2 completely along with all the relevant file(.conf and var/www/ --files--) and reinstall. i guess there will be some issues after reinstalling [16:13] i used sudo apt-get install apache2 [16:13] I can't remember the exact wording, but it just said to hit a button to report the problem and prompted me for my password. And now it won't close. [16:13] while installing [16:13] petitchou the error message may be the first step to a solution ... what does it say [16:13] ShekharReddy: sudo apt-get purge apache2 , then delete the stuff in /var/www/html/* [16:14] It just told me that there was a "system" error. I hit the "report" button and nothing happened - no other details. I wish I'd have written down the exact wording. :( [16:14] Seveas: thanks! [16:14] Seveas: by the way, do you still take the train in the morning? [16:15] semitones: yes. [16:15] The installer program is still open despite the fact that it installed the IRC client I'm talking to you on right now. It won't close. [16:16] EriC^, is Linux live USB creator supposed to be compatible with 16.04? [16:16] Seveas: thanks for sharing the train song with me! (End of o4o) [16:16] petitchou alt-f2 and then type xkill ... then click on the frozen windows [16:16] petitchou, I'm guessing there's another dialog window hidden somewhere that's waiting for you to click a button [16:16] window* [16:16] (or, the app *thinks* there is) [16:17] How can I disable my laptop's keyboard from waking up the computer from Suspend? (I want to use the power button only) [16:17] Done. Thank you! That fixed that part of the problem :) [16:17] t00lman: I'm pretty sure it was the latter >< I have two monitors, though, which may be confusing things. [16:18] is there a ubunut that is faster than xubuntu [16:18] django_ try lubuntu [16:18] MonkeyDust, yeah its not that much faster lol [16:18] django_: *lighter weight, no faster [16:19] also does ubuntu come with a C compiler? [16:19] django_, sudo apt install build-essential [16:19] there are some vhosts file in /var/www/* , i cant delete them manually EriC^ [16:19] mgor, to ru C cod? [16:19] code* [16:19] thats a knotty question , it depends as much on your hardware as it does the ubuntu virsion however I stand to be corrected If I'm wrong.;-) [16:19] django_, not so often anymore [16:20] what [16:20] lol [16:20] django_, type 'cc' and see what happens. [16:21] "fatal error no input files" [16:21] Sounds like it's installed then. [16:21] also, I'm trying to install the steam launcher - do you have any idea how I might go about this? I tried using the button at https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/steam-launcher/ and it complains about not being able to find it in the store [16:21] cc == C Compiler [16:22] B0g4r7_, cool ty [16:23] EriC^ lluc says it finished creating the key, but I don't see any changes to my usb [16:23] if I download the .deb file manually the installer pukes >< [16:23] petitchou: how? I installed it fine via dpkg [16:24] Seveas, Umeaboy ok I think i know what happened, let me tell you a tale [16:24] the same kind of problem I've been having - the installer hangs :( I have no idea what's wrong with it. I think t00lman was on to something earlier that it has a dialog up somewhere (or thinks it does) that I can't find [16:25] I'm running "steam client application". IDK if that's the same thing, but it seemed to install fine. [16:25] parkfae_: See if you can boot your Desktop from the USB drive now. [16:25] petitchou: you tried installing it with dpkg? Is this 16.04? Standard ubuntu or a flavor? [16:25] Jordan_U, aight trying now [16:26] Things "just hang" huh. Are you sure your hard drive is good (no bad blocks)? [16:26] not sure how to check the version but I downloaded it like two days ago - it's standard Ubuntu [16:26] petitchou: ok, and you're installing it via dpkg (terminal) or through the software center? [16:26] Seveas, Umeaboy : I tried 16.04, but got that weird graphic tearing. I thought it might be a problem with the live cd, so I installed anyway to a spare partition. Now, I also have a separate /boot. I think what was happening was 16.04 changed grub in a way that it was booting 14.04 using the new kernel from 16.04 - when I booted from the list of old kernels, I saw 3.13 next to a 4.something.. That's why I was seeing the visual tearing on bo [16:26] th. [16:27] I tried using the software center and not dpkg, yes [16:27] want me to try dpkg now? [16:27] That might give you some more feedback. [16:27] okay, give me just a minute [16:27] petitchou: ok, so I'd try installing it from the terminal. "sudo dpkg -i " [16:28] k, one sec, I need to figure out where Firefox put it [16:28] semitones_rex: Uhu. OK. [16:28] i'm pretty sure installing steam does pop up another dialog asking a question [16:28] ~/Downloads usually. [16:28] Jordan_U, we're back to the problem of entering rescue mode. [16:29] parkfae_: When trying to boot the liveUSB from the Desktop machine? [16:29] Seveas, so I can still file a bug with kernel 4.4 for having the graphics tearing right? [16:29] Jordan_U, my desktop is the one without windows or anything... I just built it yesterday [16:29] Apparently it requires something called python-apt, which isn't installed [16:30] My keyboard has become wonky. Sometimes it types one letter as intended, sometimes it types two, and if I hold down the backspace key, it's slower than usual. I have also tried it on another PC, this time running Arch Linux, but no luck, and using it on an Android tablet, which worked. What shall I do? [16:30] I can throw the error into a pastebin if you like [16:30] petitchou, missing dependency. I think you can just "apt-get -f install" to fix it. [16:31] with no other arguments [16:31] /joining #ubuntu-bugs to ask them the best way to submit a bug [16:31] doing this now, thank you [16:31] petitchou: if it needs that, just install it with apt [16:31] parkfae_: And you're sure it's configured to boot from USB? [16:31] Installing and working like a champ - thank you! [16:32] I have tried everything to fix it, from cleaning the contacts, to changing the delay, to disassembling it and cleaning it. [16:32] Hi [16:32] Jordan_U, yes, I double checked and everything. I don't think the live USB creation actually worked :/ [16:33] I am also having a weird minor issue with the volume display. It pops up randomly and tells me the volume, like I hit a key on my keyboard. [16:33] I have a positively ancient PS/2 IBM keyboard and I think it might be thinking I'm hitting some kind of volume button that I don't in fact have [16:34] Hey can I break the rules about taking a poll real quick? I want to find out which has less problems: a live cd booted from a DVD, a USB, or from ISOboot. [16:34] no [16:35] Jordan_U, I should be able to see the files on my live usb, correct? [16:35] fair enough :) [16:35] semitones, the one that works. Each situation is different. [16:36] semitones_rex: USB. [16:36] BluesKaj: reinstalling pulseaudio and alsa did help:) [16:36] B0g4r7_, assuming you're able to boot successfully into it, should they all work the same? I just don't like how long USB takes compared to the other two ways [16:36] BluesKaj: it also installed much shit:)) like kde and xfce [16:36] :D === almost_suicide is now known as Tim241 [16:37] i have a small question [16:37] semitones_rex: That differs on the speed of the USB drive and the USB port. [16:37] how can i see the license of a deb package? [16:37] I find a USB drive to be a lot faster than optical, myself. Again it depends. [16:37] meh: Shoot! [16:37] only de license [16:37] I think my USB is just really janky [16:37] dpkg -s packagename. [16:37] thanks [16:38] running from the USB is somewhat faster than running from cd, but making the USB takes forever. Doing ISOboot was really fast, but people warned me that it wasn't as reliable as USB, and I don't know why they said that [16:38] Heck, you could probably install from a pxeboot server if you were so inclined. [16:38] Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I don't think it'll show up there, but there's some flag to dpkg to use. [16:39] I just keep some usb sticks around with different ubuntus on them. No need to keep remaking them. [16:39] Jordan_U, no, the live usb definitely is working... [16:39] B0g4r7_, can you make that from a raspberry pi? Do you know of any reasons why ISOboot would be unreliable? Because it seems like the most convenient and it's worked for me before (I just ran into a kernel bug) [16:40] is there a way to rebind keys? my keyboard lacks a windows key or anything that could be "super" - I'd like to use my right alt if I can [16:40] semitones, you could probably do it from a Pi. I don't see why not. I'm not familiar with isoboot myself. [16:40] meh: I think you might have to ask the maker of that package or check inside its source package. [16:41] The makefile should show the right license. [16:41] Jordan_U, someone (maybe you) said something about checking if my desktop is booting up in a certain mode, but I haven't been able to find that in its options on my own [16:42] yes [16:42] anyone know about VBOXES? i made a shared folder now how do i find it? [16:43] and i have avery small question "its my first useful package" i created the packsage with a gpl2 software [16:43] but ubuntu-software warnins "this software would have private parts" [16:43] how can i remove this warning? [16:44] howdy [16:45] Hi LiverWurst [16:45] thanks again all [16:46] Hi to all [16:46] meh: screenshot?

Read "man mdadm" and look for the "-E" or "--examine" flag [17:23] be careful tho... mdadm can be dangerous [17:24] t00lman: thanks. I ran mdadm --assemble --scan, it worked for my system drive, but hasn't brought this drive up the same way.. [17:25] t00lman: the system drive had some combo of logical volumes or something, running pvscan and vgscan helped bring those partitions up... [17:25] how to remove unused programs, after removing repository from PPA's list ? [17:25] how to remove unused programs/libraries, after removing repository from PPA's list ?

[17:28] my ubuntu 16.04 faced error " “Sorry Ubuntu * has experienced an internal error” /usr/bin/compiz " [17:28] then i removed the directory by mistake while trying a command " sudo rm /usr/bin/compiz " [17:29] k1 what if he doesn't want to regress , just remove unneeded packages [17:29] ianthius, what nas? [17:29] B0g4r7_: QNAP [17:29] now desktop is blank, what should i do ? [17:29] I tried doing that kind of thing from a WD MyBook, and it was all wonky. They used some kind of modified ext4. I ended up having to use some fuse setup to get at it. [17:29] BluesKaj: the problem is, that its possible he will never get any updates from the repos for that packages now. even security ones. [17:30] k1 once they're in the backports that shouldn't be a problem [17:31] B0g4r7_: well i was able to access data on the first HD so I think it's some normal linux thing that I haven't figure out yet. What is fuse setup? [17:31] ianthius, fuse is Filesystem in UserSpacE. I had to use some fuse module to be able to mount their modified ext4. [17:32] BluesKaj: no. it depends on the naming of the version in the PPA. most PPAs have bad naming so apt still thinks the PPA one is newer than the original repo one. so it doesnt update === Tim241_afk is now known as Tim241 [17:33] Someone else had done all the hard work, and I just followed their guide on the webpage. [17:33] k1l: are u available?

[18:49] OerHeks: any further suggestions? [18:49] MonkeyDust: ehm I have forgot to mention that I run Lubuntu, and probably that command doesn't work [18:50] ubuntu054 what happens if you type in the terminal [18:50] command not found [18:50] it says [18:50] ubuntu054 ok, first: sudo apt install nmtui [18:50] ok [18:50] thanks MonkeyDust [18:50] anyone know how I can use stock ubuntu 16.04 and "join" the xorg's together so I can watch youtube across four mointors stiched together as one? [18:51] MonkeyDust: it says unable to locate package [18:51] ubuntu054 what's the output of cat /etc/issue [18:52] ok here is a silly question i should already know how do i turn off the joins and quits here [18:52] MonkeyDust: I have forgot to mention that when scanning the pcmcia it sees the wireless card [18:52] it is a Intel Pro Wireless [18:52] pcmcia? does that still exist?

[18:55] wow that was hard sorry for silly questions and thanks much [18:55] Sure [18:57] So for the more versed ubuntu people out there, should I upgrade to ubuntu 16 or should I just keep rolling with 14 for a year or so [18:57] MonkeyDust: I have just said that I have an Intel Pro wireless card and lubuntu does sees it in PCI but doesn't allow me to connect on internet [18:57] Bashing-om its u i was looking for, just u said its a big channel just in case u missed my message, i just tried cat/var/log/xorg.0.log and it told me no such file or directory [18:58] What's the console equivalent for the "connect to server" functionality? Is it just mount with the proper args, or is there some other interface? [18:58] I'm trying to write a shell script that does the equivalent of "connect to these two specific servers" [18:59] MonkeyDust: if I run lshw I can see the wireless card [18:59] ...methinks it might be gvfs-mount [19:00] ubuntu054 don't address me, address the channel [19:00] ubuntu is cool [19:00] Kaedenn, nautilus-connect-server === norm is now known as Guest74373 [19:00] Fiki: Okay, but I want one level lower than that.

[19:01] Fiki: yup, I want something one level lower [19:01] Kaedenn, why not ssh and then use SCP? [19:02] Fiki: Because I'm doing a bunch of filesystem stuff (editing files, renaming files, moving files, laughing at files, etc) and scp won't give me a shell.

[19:03] i have vt420 [19:03] When I ssh to the server, without mucking with any of my environment variables, $TERM is vt220. [19:04] Kaedenn, well you can always go with a programming language instead of bash, it'll give you more flexibility at least [19:04] it would be cool, if there is utf-8 support [19:04] or is what vt410 [19:04] Kaedenn: gvfs-mount or sshfs.

Have a look in your settings [20:01] moldo i have a laptop with external display, was detected out of the box in the system settings... what does it show in your system [20:01] I was looking at /var/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloads and I found a file ttf-mscorefonts-installer that suspiciously has a timestamp around the time it got stuck, there is a folder /partial created [20:01] Bashing-om my main problem is all i get is "the system is running in low graphics" "your screen, graphics card and input device settings could not be detected correctly. you will need to configure this yourself" thats my problem i have no idea how too [20:01] my resolution and all, i let it be default configured [20:01] at the same timestamp [20:02] argon__, MonkeyDust i was working but i modified some stuff with the terminal and now it doesnt work [20:02] it was working [20:02] moldo: You could try plugging in the external and shutdown and restart.

[20:04] sonic: Right off hand I do not know ..lemme consider a bit on what we can do. [20:04] moldo: seems like your driver fails to detect the monitor [20:04] argon__, yes i played with the drivers and it s the AMD drivers now that is on [20:05] craptalk: Does this file exist ' ls -al /etc/X11/Xorg.conf ' ? [20:05] must be the drivers i reckon [20:05] Bashing-om: nope [20:05] moldo: what happens when you connect the monitor? Does the screen "blink" like it usally does when you connect an external monitor [20:05] not exist [20:06] Bashing-om: should i reinstall nvidia driver? and how to do it? [20:06] argon__, it says no signal [20:06] so what's the progress of requesting an upgrade to a package? [20:06] process [20:06] craptalk: We are working up to a re-install . what returns ' sudo ubuntu-drivers devices ; sudo ubuntu-drivers list ' ? [20:07] moldo: try to connect the monitor before you power on your computer [20:07] nils_ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade [20:07] argon__, done that and the light on the monitor turn from blue to yellow [20:07] Hey is there any way to restore the default folders in my /home ?

After that I'm hearing from laptop's speaker a sound like electric noise? Do you have any ideas before I will assume that is a hardware issue? [20:10] MonkeyDust: -> [20:10] moldo: on gnome its settings --> displays. It should be similar on unity [20:10] MonkeyDust: It changed language then all the folders changed names [20:11] argon__, same... doesnt detect the monitor [20:12] argon__, oooh i see , it s the difference between 3D and 2D drivers [20:12] nibjork so the folders names are the default one, but in another language? [20:12] you have to download ati radeon drivers without the x server settings [20:13] or i should contact a ppa-owner for advice "or send it to a community team, such as webupd8, and wait his approval" [20:13] i accidently ran chown -R pi:pi / [20:13] MonkeyDust: Yes [20:13] moldo: could it be a broken cable? [20:14] nibjork and did you change the language on purpose? [20:14] i was trying to install vmware tools because it works on my 14.04 install [20:14] but on 16 it doenst [20:14] any quick fix? [20:14] michael33, I found the same thing. I switched to virtualbox and never looked back. [20:14] MonkeyDust: Yes, but then i wanted to use English again :P [20:14] I installed/setup mailman via https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mailman, but when I try to access mysite.tld/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo I get a 403. does anyone know how to fix this? [20:14] B0: guess im gonna do that too [20:15] B0g4r7_: any cons compared to vmware? [20:15] Bashing-om: let me know if you found it? [20:15] I second virtualbox [20:15] argon__, i upgraded the drivers testing it [20:15] None so far, thought I've not used it a whole lot. [20:15] k gonna do that then thx for the help [20:15] moldo: so it worked before updating drivers? [20:15] I installed a WinXP vm and a 14.04 vm with no trouble. [20:16] argon__, it worked before the crash of the computer when i played dota 2 [20:16] does anyone on here use teamviewer? [20:16] nibjork then undo the language change again, the way you changed it [20:16] moldo: run this command: lshw -c video [20:16] fearnothing, ive used it [20:17] did it break after the first time you used it? [20:17] any fix for this piece of code i accidently ran on my terminal? -> "sudo chown -R pi:pi /" [20:17] i did / instead of folder/ [20:17] Hi. I have done a Bad Thing, and would like some help to undo this. I enabled the pre-release repository, and then updated. I would now like to undo this - but can't seem to work out which packages I need to downgrade, or to which version. Is there a way to see which version is available to install for each package? "apt-cache policy" seems to include the installed version. [20:17] No easy fix that I know of. [20:17] craptalk: That card is still supported ( ends last of next year !) . ' sudo apt purge nvidia* ; sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo apt install nvidia-340 ' . [20:17] I'm trying to help my dad with something and I've been replicating what he does in a VM [20:17] michael33: not possible. all file permissions on your system are now changed. you cant solve that. [20:18] we both installed teamviewer, which worked after installing. Now a week later, neither system can launch it [20:18] and there's absolutely f**k all about this problem on google [20:18] Bashing-om: should i do it that command [20:18] ? [20:18] k1l: thx, going to delete it and start all over [20:18] argon__, yes it s show the properties [20:18] driver = fglrx_pci [20:18] michael33 interesting mistake, tho, from a technician's point of view [20:19] that s when i upgraded the opengl that it s started to get problems [20:19] craptalk: We want to re-install .. so fist is pruge what is .. make sure the system is full up 2 date , and then install the nvidia driver . [20:19] MonkeyDust: worst type u can make when working with windows and linux at the same time [20:19] typo* [20:19] I've made a similar mistake, cloning one system to another, forgetting to preserve permissions fully. Weird stuff happened. [20:20] One program in particular was unhappy that it could no longer write to /dev/zero. [20:20] moldo: I don't know. Maybe its worth checking the loaded driver with lsmod [20:21] Bashing-om - what? [20:21] ffs [20:21] the files it's complaining about are RIGHT THERE [20:22] argon__, yes :) [20:22] moldo: lsmod | grep video [20:23] SonikkuAmerica: Sorry .. The poster I guess left .. and you got highlighed by my error . === draymod2 is now known as raymod2 [20:24] heh. acually you've been highlighting me all day because I'm using a crappy client with silly nick matching and no highlight settings - Bashing-om [20:24] argon__, its me moldo :) i copy paste the result on pastebin [20:24] moldo: sorry, my laptop ran out of battery [20:24] zark: sorry, my laptop ran out of battery [20:24] argon__, no worries [20:24] zark: alright [20:25] SonikkuAmerica: :( I Hate when that happens .. irssi time for your client ? [20:25] argon__, http://pastebin.com/4i5m5x8s [20:25] ok, I solved the problem, for some reason the script was unable to see the wine and wineserver files [20:25] zark: I've never had an issue like this myself, but I will try to help you resolve your problem [20:26] double clicking on them and then running teamviewer again fixed it [20:26] wtf [20:26] argon__, that nice from you [20:27] Bashing-om - If only it were available for Android! [20:27] zark: its strange that it doesen't list any graphics driver as loaded [20:28] zark: for me it's i915, toshiba_axpi [20:28] zark: I will be back within 5 minutes, I'm going to test something [20:29] ok argon__ [20:30] * extor is looking for suggestions on how to run a remote X session on a virtual machine, and then VNC to it to use stuff like firefox, openoffice etc [20:31] SonikkuAmerica: Welp .. at least you go where I have never been -> Android ! = nothing ventured, nothing gained - [20:31] ✔ [20:32] Hi, I [20:34] I've attempted to do step 1. 'Insert the USB device, then run gparted...' at this site: http://askubuntu.com/questions/59551/how-to-burn-a-windows-iso-to-a-usb-device. It burned to pen drive, but no respone on startup. [20:35] zark: can you give me the output of lshw [20:36] zark: grep display (or video) should give you less output [20:37] argon__, http://pastebin.com/ZHes4hvH [20:38] Bashing-om: alright i am trying to fix it? [20:39] has anyone reverted from 16.04 to 14.04 and for what reason did you do this [20:40] craptalk: Yes ! .. Run the commands as advised ,, and reboot the box to see the effect . [20:41] I went from 14.04 to 16.04 just as quick as I could (16.04 beta 2) because 16.04 adds support for lvmcache. [20:41] ...which isn't quite what you asked. [20:41] hey [20:41] that is good information it helps me alot thanks [20:41] zark: open software & updates in unity and click the tab named "Additional drivers" [20:42] If I were to revert, it would be to fix how I can't resize some windows now in 16.04 Gnome. [20:42] Bashing-om: alright === ghostman is now known as Ghostman [20:42] sureshot: given that it's incredibly tricky (and I'm not even sure it's really possible) to do such a downgrade, there will be very few people who have done so. [20:42] ok argon__ i have choice between using x.org X server amd ati display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg [20:42] i am having little problems like not being able to use the software installer to install third party debs [20:43] argon__, using video driver for the amd graphics accelerator from fglrx proprietary [20:43] test [20:43] which one is currently in use? [20:43] Ghostman: try ##test :) [20:43] the fglrx argon__ [20:43] if i downgrade i will do it from scratch and reinstall fresh it just does not seem as smooth as 14.04 [20:44] zark: that's the one that should be in use [20:44] argon__, it says the device is using an alternative driver [20:44] How do you send a backdoor to the target ? [20:45] Is this a riddle? [20:45] some Lubuntu specialist can give me a tip on lubuntu channel please ? [20:45] If you have to ask how to do that, Ghostman, you won't be able to. [20:46] zark: okay, so this is beyond me, but you could try to have a look at https://amatijasec.wordpress.com/2014/06/09/ubuntu-14-04-install-amd-radeon-driver/ [20:46] wow :o [20:47] zark: to update your driver, because it doesen't seem to load your driver properly.

I have done a Bad Thing, and would like some help to undo this. I enabled the pre-release repository, and then updated. I would now like to undo this - but can't seem to work out which packages I need to downgrade, or to which version. Is there a way to see which version is available to install for each package? "apt-cache policy" seems to include the installed version. Or should I just re-install?

What to do next? [21:04] Yojimbo sorry the only thing i can tell you from my point of view is to reimage your 16.04 usb drive [21:05] sureshot I've done many times [21:05] just a thought are you using 2 different usb drives [21:06] sureshot i used 3 different usb drives [21:06] will 14.04 boot off any of them [21:06] verified your 16.04 iso? [21:06] swordz: you can get the list of packages it updated from /var/log/apt/history.log [21:06] auronandace did not think of that [21:06] thanks [21:07] EriC^^, Thanks! Did not know that file existed... [21:07] im really having issues getting into ubuntu right now all im getting is " the system is running in low graphics mode" i was on earlier but never managed to get anywhere can anyone help? [21:08] swordz: if you removed the repo and ran sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get install --reinstall it might try to downgrade it, try on one package to see how it goes [21:09] 12.04 running, 14.04 running, 16.04 not running [21:09] any body help me please...when i run this command {sudo dpkg -i } its showing me Dependency error [21:09] Yojimbo: give more info [21:09] EriC^^ thanks i tried sorry [21:09] sonic: termbin the output terminal command ' sudo lshw -C display ' . Let's see what the system thinks for a graphic's driver . [21:10] kabirsingh: which file are you trying to install? [21:10] ubuntu-desktop.deb file [21:10] what's that? [21:10] are you trying to install the ubuntu-desktop package? [21:10] yeh [21:11] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^ [21:11] What dependencies is it asking for? [21:11] probably a crap ton [21:11] this command work properlly .. [21:11] EriC^^, A very good start! But trying with bash-completion (it's towards the end of the list) gives: Reinstallation of bash-completion is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [21:12] Any quick tips before I spend forever Googling? [21:12] but i want download this packeg form google ..n install it manually [21:12] motherboard: msi a68hm-e33 v2 cpu: a8 7670k [21:12] kabirsingh: no, you don't.

Just apt-get install bash-completion should do the trick. [21:13] Yojimbo: what does it say when you try to boot 16.04 [21:13] Bashing-om what part do you want me to tell you its quite a large list [21:13] EriC^^ i see boot screen i selected try ubuntu after a while shut doen monitor [21:13] seveas sir ...i want to ubuntu destop install my another server whithout having internet [21:14] kabirsingh: then first fix its internet connection, and use apt-get to install it. [21:14] !nomodeset | Yojimbo [21:14] please can someone recommend to me a GUI app that will play midi files? [21:14] Yojimbo: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:14] kabirsingh: its just a meta package. you need a lot more packages then [21:14] Seveas - it's probably newer than the version I want due to pre-release (and wanting to remove it) [21:14] drumstick doesn't work for me [21:15] swordz: ah, apt-cache policy bash-completion will tell you the details. You can apt-get install bash-completion-$version_that_actually_exists_in_the_repo [21:15] fearnothing: timidity perhaps? [21:15] so anybody have any idea how to install any server with gui mood whitout having internet [21:16] oh, that has GUI? [21:16] swordz: try Seveas ' command sudo apt-get install bash-completion= [21:16] I could only find info on CLI for it [21:16] swordz: pretty sure dpkg has a downgrade ability in it though [21:16] !aptoncd | kabirsingh [21:16] kabirsingh: APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [21:16] It says installed and candidate match, and I'm not sure how to check (manually - i.e. without using my computer which might be lying) what's in the repo.

[21:22] cliffer1: 'no shell set' doesn't happen by accident. Pastebin the actual /etc/passwd lines for those users [21:22] sonic: :) .. Well, the 'radeon' driver is loaded . Let's say it is a user's config issue in your /home .. What does the display look like in the guest account ? [21:23] EriC^^, Seveas, I think I'm there!

[21:37] Bashing-om ive tried them a few times and all its done is put me down to the next command line [21:42] sonic: That does not parse . I have no context of "all its done is put me down to the next command line " . If you are in a shell ( command line interface ) ar a prompt somilar " sysop@1404mini:~$ " where sysop is my host name, and 1404mini is the system name. Then the command ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ' will have a return like unto >> xfce XFCE . Where I am using xfce as my DE . [21:44] Hi guys, after upgrade to 16.04, I can't access internet, any advice to solve this issue? [21:45] I've rebooted and tried to restart network-manager, I've changed the IP to manual and DNS 8.8.8.8 but no luck [21:45] how do you connect to the internet [21:46] sorry got disconnected [21:47] raul782_: how do you connect to the internet [21:47] another laptop [21:47] hello guys, i have some trouble with my ubuntu 14.04 dual screen system. it doesnt detect in the settings / display the second monitor [21:47] no... on the computer you're talking about [21:47] Ben64: I have a desktop with ubuntu and a laptop with internet [21:47] ... [21:49] Base64: ah sorry, using a wired connection [21:49] ethernet cable, with a fixed IP [21:50] I switched from managed IP since, I though that could be the issue [21:51] hello, i have trouble with my display i have 2 screens a laptop and a lcd screen. on the laptop it display ubuntu but when you go on the left of the desk the display extend to my lcd screen and show a blackwhite cross . how do i set this display to be the main screen ? [21:52] Is there a way to check if the my eth0 has been recognized? [21:52] sonic: Did I loosse you ? [21:52] i'm trying to compile Moria from source (via apt-build). there's no configure to run. "make" finds no targets [21:52] Bashing-on i have to press ctrl alt f1 when i boot in is this the same terminal your thinking of? and ive tried them again and all ive got is > [21:53] how do i set my second display to show the desk ubuntu ? [21:55] just checked the sudo service network-manager status and and so far it tells me that device (eth0) link connected [21:55] I see that the dnsmasq using nameserver 8.8.8.8 is there [21:55] sonic: Yes . that is a "console" but will serve the exact same purpose . Tou should have a login pronpt . login with username and password ( no response to the screen when password is entered ) .. the console awaits the next terminal command at a prompt . yes ? [21:56] what else can I do to diagnostic the issue with my network ? [21:56] Tou/You* [21:56] when I try to ping to my router, I get a destination host unreachable [21:58] Bashing-om yes it does, would you be able to write it like you would in the terminal, that might work better for me [21:59] how do i push the system to show my LCD monitor in all settings / displays in ubuntu 14.04 [21:59] ? [22:00] sonic: I have 3 times now ' in terminal exactly ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ' . The quote marks (') not a part of the command sequence . the quotes marks are to show this as a "command sequence" . Make sense now ? [22:01] ok, the GUIs for Timidity are crap [22:01] Muse on the other hand looks pretty good [22:02] one of my applications isnt reposnding how do i force close [22:02] if I could just get it to output MIDI correclt [22:02] correctly* [22:02] <\9> gambl0re: alt+f2, type xkill, you'll get a kill cursor, click on the misbehaving application with it [22:03] <\9> alternatively, you can go to a commandline and write killall -9 [22:05] ok i did what you said, it seemed to have killed all my running applications [22:05] it even logged me out === soul is now known as Guest90541 [22:05] any idea if 4.1.21.armada.1 compares in any way with ubuntu/debian? [22:06] <\9> gambl0re: you sure you didn't kill the desktop with it? [22:06] well i clicked on the application in the taskbar [22:06] if you know what i mean [22:07] Bashing-on sorry for being a pain so im writing, echo $DESKTOP_SESSION $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. in the one line right? [22:07] i have to fix my problem :) [22:08] <\9> gambl0re: well then you killed the taskbar, and with that your desktop and everything else [22:08] sonic: Let me reboot into terminal .. and I will verify ,.. I can accept that if no DeskTop is activated perhaps no output ? // Yes that is one sequence . [22:08] <\9> gambl0re: you need to click on the actual window [22:08] <\9> gambl0re: if there is no window then you'll have to use killall [22:08] my window wasn't responding [22:08] <\9> but you could at least bring it up? [22:08] i dont know how to describe it [22:09] i click on the application in the taskabar and it seems like it's supposed to be showing but it isn't it's just blank [22:09] drag n drop isnt working on ubuntu 16 with neither vmware nor vbox? [22:09] but anyways, thanks [22:10] <\9> gambl0re: you still got at least something that was supposed to be a window, even though it wasn't responding? you can use xkill on that === grubles_ is now known as grubles [22:11] hello [22:16] Hey guys I'd like to allocate space for a swap partition, since I chose not to do so during install. Can I do this now? [22:20] katie1231, yes partition magic [22:21] moldo, When i set up my drive i allocated all 250gb, will i need to resize on of those? [22:23] katie1231, it depends you dont need a lot for the swap partition i think 2-10 % is enought [22:23] katie1231, boot from your live dvd/usb and the use gparted to shrink/add partition [22:25] squinty, would it be better to just set up a swap file on a current partition instead? [22:26] katie1231, never used a swap file so really can't answer that question with any definite certainty [22:27] sonic: Yeah ! I have mislead you .. IF no GUI is started there is no environment . the result of ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ' is only a return to prompt . Will have to come up with another means to know what your DE is . [22:28] Bashing-on so what do i do know [22:32] sonic: Well,, you know more now than 3 hours agao ... what returns ' ls -al /usr/share/xsessions | nc termbin.com 9999 ; cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager | nc termbin.com 9999 ' ? [22:32] I am trying to fix my server that didn't reboot after trying to do grub-update when following this tutorial: http://www.kiloroot.com/switch-to-standard-ubuntu-kernel-on-ovh-or-kimsufi-servers/ Now, I am in emergency mode and I have tried to move the 06_OVHkernel back to its default location. However, I am still getting this error when booting: [22:32] http://pastebin.com/SXHqvNc1 [22:34] Bashing-on so would you like me to termbin these? [22:34] Hi guys. I've tried many things to re-gain internet access to my newly upgraded ubuntu 16.04 but no luck [22:34] What advice you can suggest to troubleshoot the issue? [22:35] sonic: Uh Huh .. that " | nc termbin.com 9999 " will do that .. just pass the URL back here . [22:36] while It looks like I'm connected to the network, when I try to ping the router, it says destination host unreachable, what can I do to troubleshoot this pfirst part [22:36] raul782_: A fresh clean install, this bug I think still applies : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appstream/+bug/1579712 . [22:36] Launchpad bug 1579712 in appstream (Ubuntu Xenial) "Refresh hangs indefinitely, appstreamcli using 100% CPU" [High,Fix released] [22:37] mounted windows 10, made it NTFS and boot, copied files to pendrive, started on one computer but not the other at startup. What is the the cause? [22:39] Slaizer: ask ##windows ? [22:39] Bashin-om: what this has to do with a network connection problem? [22:40] Bashing-om: ^^ [22:40] raul782_: This : http://askubuntu.com/questions/771627/14-04-network-manager-stopped-working/771841#771841 is the easier solution, in ny humble opinion . [22:40] Bashing-on http//:termbin.com/rnh9 & http//:termbin.com/t39p [22:40] raul782_: Networking is broke . [22:41] Bashing-om: really? that's a critical issue. does that happen to anybody upgrading from 14.04 [22:41] ? [22:43] raul782_: It did for a day . fix is released . But on a fresh install from an .iso before the fix .. ya got a problem . [22:43] sonic: Your Links do not resolve . looking to see why . [22:44] * johndoe__ [22:45] Bashing-om, fwiw, his links come up fine here [22:46] squinty: Thenals ! he has // and : reversed :) [22:46] sonic: your links need http:// not http//: fyi [22:46] thanks ! ** [22:47] Bashing-on i wrote it wrong http://termbin.com/rnh9 & http://termbin.com/t39p ...my bad [22:48] Bashing-om, oh lol didn't even notice that. click on them and they still both open in firefox here [22:50] sonic: Got it .. I fingered it out .. OK .. running unity as the Desktop Environment . At the login screen you should have the option of " guest account " . At that point no upper level graphics driver is started . Now when selecting to start the guest account .. do you then get to a good GUI ? [22:51] squinty: In google-chrome I got " This site can’t be reached " for the reversed syntax . [22:52] Bashing-om, hmmm...interesting. thanks for pointing that out :-) [22:54] squinty: All a process of learning .If ya familiar with unity/lightdm .. hang in here with me .. radeon misbehaving on 16.04 .. A lot I do not know about lightdm . Xorg log file and lshw show no problems . [22:55] bashing-om: thanks a lot, that link worked :) [22:56] Bashing-on that my problem i cant even get to the login screen, it litteraly put me on the screen that i told you about and wont budge from there. the only menu i can access if the GNU GRUB [22:56] raul782_: Put up a gold star for me ? I kinda thought that might still be an issue on a old .iso image . [22:58] sonic: Ouch ! .. as another poke . What about the recovery kernel - selected from the grub boot menu ? Here in recovery, degraded graphics is acceptable, just want to know that you can boot to the GUI . [22:58] * fergal32 waves hello [23:03] hi [23:03] is it possible to change real name in ubuntu ? not the one in terminal, i mean the one appears in login menu [23:05] Bashing-on so im on the recovery menu now and it just came up something about emergency mode then went back to the recovery screen, next move? [23:06] thinky: http://askubuntu.com/questions/34074/how-do-i-change-my-username .... looks promising . [23:06] Bashing-om: thank you it was easy than i thought lol [23:07] good night [23:07] thinky: It's 'buntu ; If it is hard you are doing something wrong . [23:08] Bashing-om: well it is true, if it is hard it isn't worth doing anymore [23:08] sonic: Is this a fresh install of 16.04 ? or something break in an update ?? [23:09] Rabbitnightmare: Homework ! .. find the right way ?? [23:10] Hi there, trying to boot my computer with a 16.04 live usb, Problem is the installation hangs with a cursor blinking on the right screen, not booting any further. Adding nomodeset flag while booting completes the boot, tho at 800x600 resolution and unity sidebar not showing. Any ideas whats causing this, other then the dual screen settings? [23:11] Bashing-on its dual booted from a usb i done it a few days ago and it was working fine, nothing bad that i could see [23:11] Dont dare to proceed with the installation, since Im not sure if I can get the dual monitor/gfx card to work after I do :/ [23:11] Gin: Nvidia graphics ? .. maybe load up the proprietary driver suitable for the GPU ? one thought . [23:11] Sonic, I'm lead to belive that its due to me having dual gfx setup [23:12] Bashing-om: running both nvidia and intel graphics simultainously [23:12] Gin: configuring SLI on Linux is not impossible, but it is far harder than it needs to be [23:12] Rabbitnightmare: it's not SLI it's dual graphics cards (not same brand/type SLI) [23:13] Gin: In the install .. install the proprietary driver, and the controler nvidia-prime will also be installed . [23:13] Bashing-om: is it possible to try out on the live media? [23:14] sounds like a difficult setup [23:14] Rabbitnightmare: not really ;) only problem getting past the installation [23:15] Gin: Yes .. but unless a USB with persistence, will not persist a reboot . . [23:15] have you tried removing one of the video cards until the setup is done then, trying the drivers post installation [23:15] Bashing-on will i need to reinstall ubuntu? [23:16] Rabbitnightmare: no, I have not tried the installation with one graphics card only (the installation would ofcourse work). I intend to use the machine with qemu hardware acceleration with full access to my main gfxcard, so I need to know it would work on before hand. Thus Im here :) [23:17] sonic: Are "you" authorized to access your desktop ' ls -al /Xauthority ; ls -al /ICEauthority ' ? my return : " -rw------- 1 sysop sysop 209 Feb 4 2015 .Xauthority " where I am sysop . [23:19] Gin: Pastebin - lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' - let's us know what the hardware is and from that we match a graphic's driver . [23:20] Bashing-om: Im on windows atm so it wouldnt work. I can say I have a EVGA GTX 980ti combined with a Intel HD 530 tho [23:21] Bashing-on i tried that command an got nothing, i dont know :( [23:22] Not sure if you got the part, even when using nomodeset to boot, Unity displays no sidebars/menu and or icons [23:23] and Im stuck with 800x600 res [23:24] using uvesafb makes unity hang [23:25] Gin: Are you a gammer ? Nvidia recommends the 361 version driver . The gamers seem to prefer the 364 version . I do not know that the 364 is available in other than our trusted PPA . [23:26] sonic: This is getting stranger all the time .. what results ' ls -al /home ' ? [23:27] Bashing-om: Im you like titles I guess you could say I am, not soley tho, the intention was to get a working solution where I could use qemu for gaming, rather then rebooting all the time I want to use apps only availible to windows, like certain games, sketch up etc [23:27] Bashing-om: done, thanks again :) [23:27] what is the root password by default on unbuntu 14.04 ? [23:27] that made no sense at all, You could say I am a gamer :D [23:28] raul782: You do good work . Keep on keep'n on :) [23:29] moldo, there is no root password. [23:29] Bashing-om total 12. drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 ...it does another 3 of these but the last one uses my username [23:30] squinty, on recorvery mode [23:30] moldo, if you are admin then use your user password [23:30] Gin: That is a bleeding edge card .. I would think that once the system (16.04 ! ) is installed and the 364 driver and the nvidia-prome controller is installed . will be fine . [23:30] prime* [23:31] squinty doesnt work [23:32] sonic: show me that in the termbin.com site, please . [23:32] Bashing-om: it not that new is it, Im proceeding with the installation and will be back after then. [23:33] !root | moldo [23:33] moldo: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [23:34] Gin: To linux .. the 900 series is new(er) . We have to play catchup . [23:36] Bashing-on http://termbin.com/d649 [23:37] sonic: it is ... om ... else I can easily miss your response . look'n . [23:38] sonic: So far so good .. what now ' ls -al /home/psykosonic ' in the termbin . [23:39] !tab | sonic [23:39] sonic: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [23:41] hi [23:42] Bashing-on http://termbin.com/3z71 [23:44] 404 here [23:47] sonic: try again ls -al /home/psykosonic | nc termbin.com 9999 [23:49] sonic: Bashing-on ===> Bashing-om ... if ya do ba and then tab .. will complete for ya .. Busy busy .. I can miss your responses . [23:49] http://termbin.com/v26x [23:51] thanks for the link squinty [23:52] moldo, yw :-) [23:52] Bashing-om http://termbin.com/v26x sorry man [23:53] i have a trouble with my second display which is not recognized by the settings [23:54] it s a laptop with a vga external display [23:54] how can i set ubuntu to recognize the vga display ? [23:56] help :-) please [23:57] moldo: it's not recognized when you go to the display settings? [23:57] moldo, google: xrandr [23:57] sonic: You are authorized to access your desktop .. so why is it not starting ?.. let's try this .. reboot to the grub screen, 'e' key for edit mode -> Grub boot parameters. Here arrow down to the line starting with linux, and across to 'quiet splash' remove these terms and all after and insert " systemd.unit=multi-user.target " with out the quotes . Key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process to TTY1 . Log in here . and we start lightdm from h [23:57] the external display works but in settings i dont see the external screen just the main display [23:58] so it shows the same as the internal display? [23:58] and when i move the mouse to the external screen it s all black and there is a different cursor which is a cross [23:58] oh [23:58] http://appimage.org/ <- interesting .... [23:58] sandboxed apps [23:59] moldo: what GPU(s) does that laptop have? [23:59] something for ubuntu devs to take a look at reg snappy packages [23:59] the gpu is a ati 7660m [23:59] maybe marry with appimage
