TheMariusubuntu devs here? take a look at www.appimage.org .... something to integrade/cooperate with reg. snappy soon coming to ubuntu? and whoever came up with snappy packages deserves flowers from linux torvalds personally, its just what linux needs!00:04
Bashing-omWB EriC^^ :)00:12
EriC^^thanks Bashing-om :)00:13
Bashing-omI have allowed this to turn into a mad house .00:15
EriC^^hehe00:16
EriC^^what's the deal with sonic00:20
Bashing-omEriC^^: lightdm does not start .. 16.04. radeon driver . xorg and lshw show no problems .00:24
EriC^^oh00:24
Bashing-omEriC^^: sonic can not start any account from the login screen . yuk .00:27
ibrumfieldGM lotus02:58
lotuspsychjegood morning to all03:14
Bashing-omOh lotuspsychje That time already ? Time flys as we have fun .03:24
lotuspsychjehey Bashing-om03:25
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: are you on xenial yourself?03:26
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Not yet .. going to get that SSD and install on it all fresh .03:28
lotuspsychjenice!03:28
Bashing-omAt least it will be when I can make it happen . Lawn mowers, weed eaters, auto coolant .... groceries ... I got to squeeze in the monies somewhere for a SSD !03:34
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: i always look around if i can re-sell something to make money03:35
lotuspsychjeim pretty active on 2nd hand websites03:36
Bashing-omWell, I am of this mind ; If I did not want it, I would not have bought it .. I got nothing I want to sell .03:39
lotuspsychjeah,that sounds perfect minimalistic lifestyle :p03:42
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: sonic has a failure of lightdm to start .. messing about for several hours and I have no clue why .03:42
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: oh? ubuntu version? upgrade or clean install?03:42
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Clean install, 16.04 was good for a few days .. xorg log shows no problem  loading radeon . Not even able to start the GUI from TTY1 . Poster has no odea of what might have happened . Out of patience now and going for the nuclear solution . But I sure would like to learn the why .03:45
ibrumfieldBashing-om: thank god ssd's are cheap as hell now, only reason i have one03:46
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: thats weird it worked for a few days before, radeon driver should be pretty stable03:47
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: No doubt it is sometung in the UI . reconfigured the greeter and unity .. still no joy .03:48
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: tested the guest session?03:48
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: My 1st approach .. not even able to get the login screen to activate any account . yikes !03:49
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: could also be due to newer kernel recently03:49
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: make him load a previous one to test also03:49
lotuspsychje!info linux-image-generic03:50
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Hey .. not that ^^ is an idea !03:50
ubot5linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.22.23 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 11 kB03:50
lotuspsychjerecent one here03:50
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: yeah some brands are rather cheap, but think Bashing-om wants a samsung03:51
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: Gotcha, i picked up a crucial cheap. dont know about the samsung ones03:52
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: alot of acpi issues we got solved in main, with updating to kernel 4.6 on xenial aswell03:52
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: yakkety moving to 4.6 soon also03:52
Bashing-omI am going to buy into their spiel of " better technology ' in Samsung's controller .03:53
lotuspsychjesamsung is the best03:53
lotuspsychjei have a friend with server company with only samsung pro ssd's03:53
ibrumfieldBashing-om: definitly get what you pay for03:53
lotuspsychjeand he said he hammered them 24/7 and never got 1 fail yet03:54
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: the 850 pro gets 10 years warranty imagine03:54
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: Im just using it in a thinpad so i dont need anything hardcore03:54
Bashing-omI think ' best ' for the money .  SSDs like graphic's cards .. the sky is the limit on cost .03:54
Bashing-om( I have run this ole box for several years on a $15 ATI card ) .03:56
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: wow, those really arent priced bad at newegg03:59
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: i got the 850 pro 128gig for like 90$04:03
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: i might look into those, i need to pick one up for my desktop. Thanks04:04
lotuspsychjegot one myself in netbook here04:06
lotuspsychje8sec ubuntu boot, 3sec halt04:06
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: I can beat that boot time here on spinners .. imagine no wait at all on a SSD .04:11
lotuspsychjeyeah its only a netbook here04:11
lotuspsychje4gig ram04:12
Bashing-omNow, If I were booting to a GUI .. I can accept that my boot time would be much greater .04:13
ibrumfieldeither of you know what the purpose of history-daemon is?04:16
Bashing-omibrumfield: Rings no bells here .04:18
ibrumfieldits constantly maxing out a core on my cpu.. Just started happening today out of nowhere.04:19
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: ubuntu version? upgrade or clean?04:19
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: 16.04 clean, been running for weeks with no problems until tonight.04:20
lotuspsychjehmmz04:20
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: you too try a previous kernel, see if that sorts04:21
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: sounds like a new !bug04:21
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: thanks man, i will04:21
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: any luck?04:24
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: im about to hit a warm steamy shower :p04:26
lotuspsychjehave a good night if i dont see you anymore04:26
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: nope.. still just maxing out one core. weird04:27
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: I meet ya here ... bout me getting off place .04:27
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: ok i advise a new bug mate04:27
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: explain the whole storry, add logs, saying tested several kernel, perhaps also try a 4.6 wily kernel04:28
lotuspsychjeibrumfield: to make the devs work easier04:28
ibrumfieldlotuspsychje: thanks i will going to sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/history-daemon for now to disable it04:29
lotuspsychjedax: wich channel do factoid request spam in?04:29
daxlotuspsychje: I don't understand the question.04:30
lotuspsychjedax: if we request a factoid trigger, wich channel does the ops get messaged?04:30
lotuspsychjedax: just wondering cause we had 2 requests recently, if you guys received correctly04:31
daxif you submit a factoid suggestion, it goes to #ubuntu-ops if you talked to ubottu, or #ubuntu-irc for the ubot clones04:31
lotuspsychjedax: can you re-call those requests to see if received well?04:32
lotuspsychjeor only live?04:32
daxit just echoes to channel, there's no further functionality04:32
daxboth channels are publicly logged04:32
lotuspsychjedax: so if nobody was online at that time of request, they could be lost?04:33
daxif nobody reads scrollback, which at least one person makes a habit of doing04:33
lotuspsychjedax: can i test one with you right now?04:33
dax*shrug* sure04:33
lotuspsychjeincomming04:34
dax04:34 < ubottu/#ubuntu-ops> In ubottu, lotuspsychje said: !no, !apache2 <reply> Apache is the most commonly used Web server on Linux systems. See how to install on 16.04 : https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html04:34
lotuspsychjegreat04:34
lotuspsychjewould be nice if there was a callback system04:34
lotuspsychjei dont wanna end up spamming ops channel right :p04:35
lotuspsychjedax: ducasse had a recent zfs request also04:35
daxapache one done, I still know zero about zfs04:39
lotuspsychjecool04:40
lotuspsychjedax: ill let ducasse message you then when he's awake?04:40
lotuspsychjeor highlight?04:40
dax< dax>  lotuspsychje: zfs stuff is probably best off going to another op, i don't know anything about it or support it :c04:41
lotuspsychjedax: ok, ill tell him to request on more active moment then04:41
dax*nod*. I just pulled it from my logs and reminded -ops about it also04:43
lotuspsychjegreat tnx!04:43
lotuspsychjedax: we still need a good !systemd replacement also, for users asking us for proper start/stop commands04:44
lotuspsychjedax: all around systemd usage04:44
daxsystemctl start foo, systemctl stop foo, systemctl enable foo, systemctl disable foo04:45
lotuspsychjeyep04:45
lotuspsychjedax: this any good? http://www.howtogeek.com/216454/how-to-manage-systemd-services-on-a-linux-system/04:49
lotuspsychjewith handy pics04:49
daxit suffers from that silly wordpress behavior of converting -- to –04:50
lotuspsychjeyeah with ads also04:50
daxthe digitalocean one is fine imho04:51
daxhttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-systemctl-to-manage-systemd-services-and-units04:51
lotuspsychjedax: i think oerheks missed something on that one04:51
dax2016-05-16 16:14:55     < OerHeks>      nice, but i miss systemd-analyze and the bootchart " systemd-analyze plot > filename.svg  "04:52
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: you still got your url found04:52
daxmeh, not gonna get the complete guide to everything systemd in one command04:52
daxfor the people looking to do basic service management, the DO guide's plenty04:52
lotuspsychjeok ok04:52
lotuspsychjelets do the ocean one then04:53
dax!search systemd04:53
ubot5Found: systemd, systemd-#ubuntu-offtopic04:53
* dax grins at the -ot one04:53
lotuspsychjelol04:53
dax!systemd-#ubuntu-offtopic04:53
ubot5Everyone arguing about systemd is wrong. See http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/ProSystemdAntiSystemd/ and ask a chanop to do @random systemd sysvinit to decide a winner.04:53

ubot5systemd is the default init system for Ubuntu 15.04 onwards. For information on transitioning from upstart to systemd, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers04:53

lotuspsychjegreat!04:54
lotuspsychjetnx04:54
lotuspsychjethats gonna solve alot of trouble :p04:54
daxunfortunately, I learned systemd by reading every one of Lennart's "systemd for administrators" posts, which is quite a bit too much reading to suggest in #ubuntu :)04:55
daxanyways, be back in a bit04:55
lotuspsychjeyeah, and i didnt came across a decent ubuntu wiki yet neither04:55
lotuspsychjekk tnx again04:55
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: I have several links in respect to systemd . one in partitcular ? My memory is some kind of bad .. why I keep a data base .04:58
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: trigger got fixxed nvm mate :p05:30
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Ain't it wonderful when things get fixed :)05:32
lotuspsychjeyeah05:32

lotuspsychjethey ask me to put in upstream bug?11:00
lotuspsychjewhat has gnome have to do in this?11:01
TJ-Gnome is the host project for NetworkManager11:02
lotuspsychjeah11:02
TJ-Your bug will be good company with some of mine :D11:02
lotuspsychjeTJ-: so make the exact same bug to that gnome page?11:02

lotuspsychjethere we go11:12
EriC^^TJ-: a real teaser norux's issue11:13
lotuspsychjelets hope my wifo gets fixxed soon11:13
BluesKajlotuspsychje, if you have a problem with nm widget, just use "nmcli con up "11:14
lotuspsychjeBluesKaj: what does that do?11:14
BluesKajoops dunno if it works for wifi ,11:15
lotuspsychjewell i dont have this every boot11:15
lotuspsychjeweird situation11:15
BluesKaji used it a while to connect via ethernet when the nm wasn't working/autoconnecting11:16
BluesKajnmcli in the terminal was handy11:17
lotuspsychjethis bug should even exist :p11:17
lotuspsychjeshould not11:18
TJ-BluesKaj: yes, nmcli does everything11:29
TJ-We've had to fall back to using it instead of nm-applet due to all the bugs that are yet to be fixed11:30
TJ-To get the list of wifi networks "nmcli device wifi list"11:30
BluesKajyeah TJ- used to connect to vpn , with vpn server uuid , worked perfectly11:31
BluesKajused it11:31
TJ-you can use the connection name with "... id "<name>"11:31
TJ-easier than typing uuids :)11:32
BluesKajcopy and paste works :-)11:32
lotuspsychjeim gonna wait until this fixxes by itself tru update11:32
TJ-cheating :)11:32
BluesKajjust use nmcli com to list available connections11:32
TJ-I'm in a hotel right now, and use it to bring up the wifi and the vpn11:33
BluesKajcom=con11:33
TJ-the "nmcli device wifi list" is pretty colours ... even shows signal strength using ASCII blocks11:33
lotuspsychjeducasse: dax requested your zfs trigger again to the other ops11:34
lotuspsychjeducasse: requestes triggers dont get stored, is why11:34
lotuspsychjeand we have 1 new: !apache2 for xenial and 1 edited !systemd11:35

BluesKajTJ-, my laptop uses only the 2.4 ghz band , does the wifi have better reach at the lower or higher end of that band,? ch 10 barely cuts it ifrom my patio in the back11:38
TJ-higher frequency, less obstacle penetration11:39
ducassemaybe i should rather add a small note on the zfs wiki regarding the zfs on / thing...11:39
TJ-but in the same band you shouldn't be able to notice a difference11:39
lotuspsychjeducasse: yeah could be usefull more11:41
BluesKajTJ-, yeah that's what I thought..maybe I'll drop the router to ch4 , ch6 is crowded due to the router default11:42
TJ-BluesKaj: in 2.4GHz band only (in North Amaerica) channels 1, 6 and 11 are non-overlapping (assuming standard 20MHz wide channels)11:43
ducasselotuspsychje: ok, i'll join the wiki team and suggest an edit.11:43
TJ-BluesKaj: if 802.11gn is in use using HT channels, they're 40MHz wide, so there's even more collision11:44

daxany WinUSB alternatives for 16.04? http://onetransistor.blogspot.com/2016/04/install-winusb-on-ubuntu-1604-lts.html isn't supportable :(14:53
dax(as far as I know the answer is "no")14:53
lotuspsychjeouch14:53
lotuspsychjei didnt test winusb on xenial yet14:53
daxtl;dr: new wxwidgets breaks it14:53
lotuspsychjetoo bad winusb was neat for win iso's14:54
lotuspsychjethere is also multisystem, but not sure it supports windows iso's14:54
lotuspsychjehttp://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/14:56
lotuspsychjedax: its official site shows win icons14:56
lotuspsychjebut only tested ubuntu iso's myself14:57
lotuspsychjei had 6 iso's on 1 usb with multisystem pretty neat14:58
daxthat installation script is quite something15:00
lotuspsychjeyeah its a bit dirty i know15:00
daxit's getting to the point where I just wanna say "if you want to make a Windows LiveUSB, go find a Windows computer" and make this ##windows' problem :|15:06
lotuspsychjeyeah i didnt use it for quiet a time winusb15:08
lotuspsychjebut in some cases its handy of course15:09
ducasse...and another spam source is born. *sigh*17:27
naccjust so i understand it, postfixadmin just provides an interface to administer postfix, right?17:27
naccthat's just the MTA part of it17:28
daftykinspass17:28
daftykins#ubuntu-server might respond17:28
OerHeksNow i understand he just wants a client on his server that fetches his gmail/whatevermail ?17:28
ducassenacc: i think so, i always manage postfix with vi and postconf.17:28
daftykinsthe name is pretty suggestive though ;)17:28
daftykins!info postfixadmin17:29
naccOerHeks: no he wants the whole thing, all running on his server17:29
ubot5postfixadmin (source: postfixadmin): Virtual mail hosting interface for Postfix. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.7-1ubuntu1 (xenial), package size 790 kB, installed size 2308 kB17:29
nacc"whole thing" => full e-mail stack17:29
OerHeksoh, but we need more email-zombie servers .. no?17:30
naccheh17:30
ducassei wonder if it is really a good idea to tell these people about these tools.17:30
ducasseemail admin'ing scares me :)17:31
daftykinsnot really, anything that makes learning to perform a server setup role properly is misleading users into thinking doing something is easier than it is17:31
daftykinser i failed big time on that sentence17:31
daftykins"hand holding programs are bad, mmk"17:31
ducasse"friends don't let friends use webmin"17:32
daftykinswell you can't on debian distros anymore anyway, it's advised against due to not working with the package management setup17:35
ducassegood :)17:36
daftykinsdoesn't stop folks trying to run it :(17:37
ducasseyou are probably right. at least it provides a learning experience when it breaks.17:39
daftykinsonly if they join the dots perhaps :)17:39
DArqueBishopducasse: you wouldn't believe how many times I saw people coming into #squirrelmail or #roundcube with problems, and have to be told that a) their IMAP or SMTP server is throwing the error they're whining about, and b) despite was the vast majority of HOWTOs would tell you, setting up a properly configured mail server is arcane and difficult.17:46
DArqueBishops/despite was/despite what/17:46
ducasseoh, i would :) admin'ing mail *properly* is probably one of the hardest services to run, imo.17:47
daftykinsi tend to push people toward google apps or similar if they're thinking of going down the self-run route17:47
DArqueBishopAgreed wholeheartedly.17:48
daftykinslife is too short to be dealing with that kind of stuff17:48
DArqueBishopI've been running my own personal mail environment for fifteen years or so, but it's not for the faint of heart (or those without a hint of masochism).17:48
ducasse..or the totally paranoid. i kinda like control of my mail.17:50
ducasse(..or _for_ the...)17:50
daftykinshow do you handle the moments of downtime required for rebooting etc?17:51
ducassei have two :)17:52
daftykinsheh17:53
ducasseit's not really a huge problem, it's soooo low traffic, and the dc the primary is in has good links to the outside world.17:54
daftykinsah ok17:55
daftykinsi just sort of imagine the moments a machine is unavailable, someone sending an email and it being lost forever :)17:56
DArqueBishopdaftykins: that's why you have a secondary MX somewhere. ;-)17:56
ducasseno, it goes to the secondary mx.17:56
ducasseninja'd.17:56
daftykinsthat adds a bit more to your average first time user's plans17:56
DArqueBishopEven most MTAs will wait a specified amount of time (like a few days) before it gives up and marks a message as undeliverable.17:57
ducasseright, it tries the mx records in descending order and waits for a while before trying them again. and so on until the message times out.17:59
ducasseaiui.17:59
ducassedoes anyone think there would be an interest in a yubikey page on the ubuntu wiki?18:14
daftykinscan't hurt, there really nothing as-is?18:16
ducassenot on the wiki, the info that is relevant to ubuntu is scattered in a zillion blogs etc.18:18
OerHeksducasse, yes, if it isn't there already18:18
OerHekshowto use, howto use with ubuntu=one atc18:18
* OerHeks puts on reading glasses .. wait18:19
ducassei've been setting mine up for ssh, gpg etc, and needed to piece together info from several places. just might be nice with one page that covers the basics, i thought.18:27
OerHeksducasse, you know yubico team? https://launchpad.net/~yubico/+archive/ubuntu/stable  and https://developers.yubico.com/yubico-pam/Manuals/pam_yubico.8.html18:31
OerHeksducasse, but there are many types of auth, Blue FIDO U2F and others18:32
ducasseyes, the yubikey supports a lot of different standards etc, it was a bit confusing at first figuring out what to use. still, some things like setting it up for ssh and gpg could be nice to have on the wiki.18:34
OerHekslinux action show jul 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3D1gqXPW9818:35
OerHeksand this url i have stored in my bookmarks http://seabre.github.io/blog/2015/10/17/local-two-factor-authentication-with-u2f-on-ubuntu-14-dot-04/ end.18:36
ducasseu2f is nice, hope firefox gets built-in support soon.18:40
OerHeksi would like to see a list on that wiki what service uses what auth version18:41
OerHeksoh, you did find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSO/FAQs/2FA#Yubikey ?18:42
ducassei hadn't noticed that you need to join a team to enable it, i'll do that tomorrow :)18:45
ducasseyubico has a list of various services and the protocols they support. most seem to use u2f now.18:46
ducassea few, like lastpass, use the yubico otp, and there are otp or challenge-response plugins for some other password managers, like keepass.18:47
