[00:00] It doesn't ask you reboot does it? I don't remember [00:01] i haven't successfully done it without a reboot yet [00:02] You could always make a liveusb with persistance === _7 is now known as SonikkuAmerica [00:02] i don't have a spare usb :( [00:03] and unless i can load the live image to ram, no way to reformat this one [00:03] i've got enough ram to easily do it [00:03] Well you can't really make changes to the system while the system is running off the cd [00:03] thats why i asked about loding to ram [00:03] loading [00:04] the whole iso. === alpha is now known as Guest79984 [00:04] Just ctrl-alt-backspace it and give it a whirl [00:05] apt install nvidia 361 + (ctrl +alt + bksp) ? [00:05] nah that is to kill x [00:06] brb baby is hungy [00:07] sytemctl enable baby.service; systemctl start baby.service; systemctl status baby.service [00:08] i have returned [00:09] OerHeks: fatal exception [00:09] baby is fine [00:10] how can i get my ttys to stop spitting out messages about my dead hard drive? [00:10] Replace the hard drive [00:11] i know it's dead, jim, but i need my prompt. [00:11] unplug the power cable on it ;-) [00:11] not, it is getting worse [00:12] Guest61626: Is it only semi-dead and you're still booting from it, or a secondary drive which is totally dead? [00:12] it won't show in the BIOS dead. [00:12] Guest61626, Have you tried modifying the /etc/sysctrl.conf so that "low level" messages aren't shown on "console"? [00:12] i have not, [00:13] dmesg tells me the same 7 lines over and over [00:13] Guest61626: So then just yank it out of there after you power off next time [00:14] yankdownunder, how do i do the low level message thing? [00:14] can i just filter out messages about ata3 instead? [00:14] Guest61626, If you look at the /etc/sysctl.conf, you will see, near the top, a bit that says "Uncomment the following to stop low-level messages on console" => uncomment that and you should not then get those error msgs on the tty's [00:14] okay :) [00:15] alguem usa natron aqui [00:15] will it immediately stop spitting out crap about ata3? [00:16] Guest61626, just yank the bad HDD out of your system, like genii said. [00:16] echo 1 > /sys/block/ata3/device/delete ? [00:17] ... i can just tell the system it doesn't exist? [00:17] is that what that does? [00:17] Yeah but if anything rescans it'll come back [00:17] what would trigger a rescan? [00:18] says no such file [00:18] Just curious, why don't you physically remove the drive? [00:19] Guess that method is too old then. I'm not up-to-date on systemctl [00:19] live system. can't power off. [00:19] No need. [00:19] If it is SATA, hot-plugging should be supported. [00:20] a lot of the things i've been installing with apt on 16.04, specifically LAMP stack have been failing pretty badly during config [00:20] oneM do you know a lot about drives? [00:20] Some.

[00:22] Guest61626, keeping that drive running, makes it worse. [00:22] http://pastebin.com/wEWm8RF2 sorry [00:22] Assuming it is sata, sas, or scsi. Just unplug the power while it is running [00:22] i have scheduled downtime, scheduled for whenever fedex gets to my door. [00:23] i was just curious if that could give me any reason why it's "dead" [00:24] Oh hello. [00:24] That is not "dead". [00:24] is the drive saveable? [00:24] More like failing so bad you wish it was dead [00:24] Can you post the specs of the machine? I want to check something. [00:24] what do you want specifically? [00:25] Motherboard and drive specs. [00:26] It might be dead, but I am rading something about that error. [00:26] lspci, or something else? [00:26] reading* [00:26] the drive has been through a lot of computers. [00:27] Just a general spec of the drive/motherboard. [00:27] it's a 250 GB laptop hardrive. seagate, i think. [00:27] Ah. [00:27] hey everyone! this is my first time in an IRC chat! [00:27] So probably Scorpio [00:27] Well, this thing I found is not helpful then. [00:27] the board is an asrock 970 extreme4 with an amd fx-4130 [00:28] what did you find? [00:28] sometimes it responds to percussive maintenance. [00:29] bobby__: And You have found ubuntu support channel . ubuntu chat in #ubuntu-offtopic . [00:29] I just bought a book called ubuntu unleashed by matthew helmke. this linux stuff is pretty cool! [00:30] Yeah, I think it is dead. Best option is to disconnect it ASAP and hope a data recovery place can get the data on it back.. Sorry man. :( [00:30] i don't give a shit about the data, it was a nearly stock install. [00:30] Ah, ok. [00:30] That is good. [00:30] is ubuntu-offtopic on freenode? [00:31] Yep! [00:31] Do /join #ubuntu-offtopic to join. [00:31] i'll probably shoot the drive when my ssd gets here. [00:31] dont know why i got an error [00:31] Well, you need to register first. [00:32] Heh, or scrap it. [00:32] I know I would take old HDDs to melt down for Al. (I have a foundry) [00:32] Guest61626, If the drive is truly dead, you might consider disassembling it and using the platters as nice shiny desktop paperweights... [00:32] hey guys, how can i set up something like pfsense in my home network? [00:33] I open it up and take the magnets out. Those things are super strong [00:34] The magnets are great for heaps of things...as well, for when you want to magnetise a tool...aside from other strange uses... [00:35] Keep those things away from your cell phone and floppy disks ^_^ [00:37] Need some help please. I wanted to switch from my router ofering dns/dhcp to my ubuntu system offering it. I thought I configured /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf correctly but now my laptop is (a different system) is not connecting to the network. Assure me this is not inter related [00:37] Kenrin, Yes...always have to be careful about those 8" floppys laying about...rather like the US nuclear arsensals data centre, hmm... [00:38] * twowheels hates UEFI boot [00:38] twowheels, why? [00:39] works fine on my servers [00:39] @compdoc it's a pain... trying to install ubuntu on my macbook (dual boot) on an external HDD, but all of the tutorials have conflicting info. got it to boot once, now it just boots into OSX [00:39] Can boot the USB installer every single time [00:39] ah [00:40] The UEFI boot seems to have been installed to the internal HDD, which I really didn't want. [00:40] that was after hours of fighting to get it to install anything [00:40] I'm tempted to just wipe that laptop and use it as a Linux only machine... that would probably wrok. [00:42] someome here play natron for edit movie:? [00:49] animamibis, long time not used, i see they have a repo deb on their site now [00:54] Is replacing /bin/bash with /usr/bin/tmux in passwd a good way to start tmux when I login? [00:54] it works === badon_ is now known as badon [01:02] Is LXDE in Ubuntu customizable like XFCE with gtk themes and icons? === Tristan-Speccy is now known as Guest36675 [01:04] fastloris: lxde is very minimalist ... either way lxqt is soon replacing lxde [01:04] I am using Xubuntu at the moment but even it seems to be taxing the machine at times...its a 10yo toshiba [01:04] im not sure if its the lightest but its one of .. want the lightest, you probably want to look at crunchbang plusplus ... [01:05] it use openbox [01:05] dont think you can get much lighter than that [01:05] anyone else having problems with growisofs [01:05] TheMarius I am a noob and OpenBox is a bit much for me [01:05] I need my GUIs and simplicity right now [01:05] id just go for xfce or mate then [01:05] which is lighter? [01:06] both xfce and mate is good ... pretty stable [01:06] xfce is a tad lighter, but i prefer mate [01:06] not much difference [01:06] yeah I like XFCE....but my machine seems to struggle [01:06] so was seeing if Lubuntu would work as its lighter [01:06] too much for it? what kind of specs? [01:06] or how old is it [01:07] well the specs say its enough...1.73ghz C2d w/ 2gb ram [01:07] but it hangs and the fan runs a ton [01:07] that could be a driver issue [01:07] sounds plenty to run xfce [01:07] how would I figure that out? [01:07] xfce should even run fine on 512 mb ram [01:07] i can see it on your specs [01:08] probably gpu ... what kind of gpu do you have? amd? [01:08] Yeah I saw the requirements and it seems enough...but it doesn't run smooth. How would i tell if its a driver? [01:08] ive had similar issues with amd .. but in 16.04 leaving it with open source drivers, its been running fine however wont run many steam games [01:08] the fan thing [01:08] thats typical for bad gpu drivers [01:09] how do I check the GPU in terminal? === rob is now known as Guest76764 [01:09] I used "sudo cat /proc/cpuinfo" for specs but it doesnt have gpu info...I tried it with gpu in place of cpu in command but didnt work [01:09] oh.. darn.. im bad at terminals ... im used to windows and graphical gui [01:09] no.. its another command [01:09] wait [01:10] you could allways try sudo apt-get install screenfetch [01:10] and then type screenfetch .. that gives you info about your system [01:10] what is screenfetch? [01:10] ah [01:10] is that what people always show in conkeys with specs? [01:10] umm no you get it in the terminal window [01:10] ok [01:10] installing [01:11] paste what line "GPU:" says when youre done [01:11] how do I run it...I tried "screenfetch" and it doesnt work [01:12] huh [01:12] do you use a live cd? [01:12] i did install...then update...then tried to run [01:12] nope installed [01:12] "screenfetch command not found" [01:12] you're supposed to just type "screenfetch" ... doesnt matter where.. it should be installed so you can run it from anywhere [01:13] "command not found" every way I try [01:14] but google says this is the GPU Mobile Intel 945GM Express [01:14] try sudo lshw -C display [01:15] thats odd... intel graphics card should be super easy to get running fine [01:15] just installed or what? [01:16] no its been on a while...I tried Ubuntu 14.04 and it was really slow...so tried Xubuntu 14.04 and was better but still not great [01:16] so was looking for even lighter to see [01:17] try lxde then .... think you can install it just typing: sudo apt-get install lxde lxdm [01:17] how do I switch DEs? does it show in grub and I choose? [01:18] could still be something your computer is allergic to regarding ubuntu [01:18] you reboot and pick then i think... i havent done it though [01:18] ok thanks [01:18] whats the lxdm part? [01:18] but seriosly .. you might have better luck trying to run another distro [01:18] How can I add music to iPhone (iOS 9.3) from Ubuntu 16.04? [01:18] its a display manager [01:19] i would highly recomend checking out crunchbang plusplus .. its not hard to get running... or maybe even opensuse ... but try out lxde first [01:19] you should distro jump a bit to you find one your computer likes [01:19] and you like [01:20] if the distro doesnt like my machine, i just delete it and try another until i find one that works well [01:20] TheMarius: I have been playing with ubuntu and arch the most but tried others. I can't decide :D [01:20] manjaro linux is descent too but depends if you have lots of other stuff hooked up to your machine like printers and scanners, which i do... manjaro wont find it [01:21] manjaro is arch based but much more typing.. crunchbang is debian so more similar to ubuntu [01:21] typing as in terminal use to get stuff connected to your machine running, ive found both ubuntu and linux mint to find the stuff i have connected automatically ... one of the few distros that do that [01:22] got 2 printers/scanners + lots more [01:22] I was going to try antergos...vanilla arch is too much for me [01:22] i wouldnt go for arch either [01:23] you want something where stuff is done graphically as much as possible [01:23] Real power is in the CLI [01:25] theres one id recomend that ive read about, fastloris [01:25] if you give me a few sec to come up with the name of it [01:25] Kenrin: I can't handle real power [01:27] Hi - what is the best way to manually install LaTeX packages on ubuntu? === tempe is now known as Anarchemist [01:28] apricity os, solus or solydx ... id suggest one of those two [01:28] three [01:29] i wouldnt recomend the one you suggested.. it says its buggy [01:29] potencially opensuse [01:29] then you have 4 to test out [01:30] thanks Marius [01:30] from reviews btw, drop solus [01:30] apricity os, solydx and opensuse ... linux mint is too similar to ubuntu [01:30] Solus is 64bit only anyway...this machine is 32bit sadly [01:30] oki ... well there you have some [01:32] fastloris: what proc is it? [01:32] and then theres the ultralight crunchbang alternative ... its not hard to use.. just a bit .. weird [01:33] if all the others fails... try that one [01:33] reisio: Core Duo T2250 / 1.73 GHz [01:33] mmm [01:34] I cant find if apricity OS is 32 bit capable...it doesnt have a requirements page [01:35] what... exactly are you up to? [01:35] k ... move on to solydx and opensuse [01:35] why're you looking for some strange derivative distro? [01:35] ubuntu isnt running well [01:35] Was just taking recommendations to try [01:35] how isn't it running well? [01:35] slow sluggish lots of fan noise ... and intel hardware [01:35] Xubuntu is lagging and fans running often... [01:35] doesnt make sense [01:36] the specs say it should work fine but was looking for something else to try [01:36] fastloris: on a laptop? [01:37] yep...initially came to ask if lubuntu was much lighter or if LXDE on Xubuntu would help [01:37] however i doubt it cause the specs tells me this computer should run xbuntu like a champ [01:37] well your processor is what, a decade old? [01:38] laptops hold up even less well than processors after that amount of time [01:38] installed LXDE but have to reboot in a bit to play with it...have horrible internet so can't try a bunch of distros..takes 4 or 5 hours just to get one iso down [01:38] opensuse is usually a safe bet though.. its a major distro [01:38] and its own branch [01:38] id prob try that before solydx [01:39] opensuse is rolling right? [01:39] depends if you want it rolling [01:39] reisio yeah its ancient [01:39] you can pick either [01:40] tumbleweed is rolling, leap is regular updates like ubuntu [01:40] fastloris: perfectly lovely 64-bit laptop with longer battery life will cost you all of $150 in the USA right now [01:40] I'd like rolling for updated apps...but don't want to break things often either [01:40] reisio I am shopping [01:40] thinking a refurbed t450s or t440s [01:41] just not good at making decisions ;) [01:41] who says fastloris needs to spend $150 ? she can get some distro running smooth on this machine, question is which [01:41] why buy refurbished when you can buy new [01:41] I do need a more modern machine....for sure...but would like this one to work well as a backup [01:41] reisio what is new for 150 other than a tiny screened ARM chromebook? [01:42] why buy anything when you have linux ... if it can run on a gen 1 raspberry pi and dishwashing machine, it can also run on that computer [01:42] fastloris: a normal screened x86 chromebook, for one [01:42] such as? what is good? [01:42] I don't want to buy a dishwasher ;) [01:43] leave it ... that computer is fine ... just need a ok distro that will be happy with the hardware [01:43] its out there, which one is the question [01:43] a ten-year-old laptop is basically never fine, not as a laptop [01:43] if you want a laptop-as-a-desktop, yes, it'll be fine [01:43] but only if you can stand its ancientness [01:43] which apparently he can't [01:43] i used a asus eee with 2 gb ram and even less capable than that one until last year [01:44] $150 is about 20 hours' worth of work at minimum wage [01:44] the more time you spend on this without a result you like, the more you should've just bought a new laptop instead [01:44] it played music and movies just fine when i found the right software [01:44] yeah, what processor? [01:45] reisio, intel atom [01:45] which one [01:45] SO anyway guys...which x86 chromebook has a large screen and is cheap? [01:45] i dont remember.. its what.. 6 years old ... this old desktop is a amd x4 3.2ghz (955 version) ... its from 2008 [01:45] fastloris: most of them [01:46] i looked at chromebooks but you want an intel processor in it.. and a descent screen... + 4 gb of ram and 32 gb or more diskspace [01:46] * DilloDroid needs to clone his system to and external USB hard drive partition [01:46] i found several here in .no ... no idea whats avaliable in the us [01:47] I'm a Mac person, so just need a simple interface like Carbon Copy Cloner [01:47] get FHD screen minimum... [01:47] QHD would be optimal [01:47] but chromebooks with good specs are coming [01:47] brb gonna try LXDE [01:48] k [01:48] anyone who's already had a laptop will not be bothered by any chromebook screen [01:48] LXDE is nicely quick on very old hardware [01:48] should be.. but idk if its more related to drivers [01:48] any ideas on a cloning program? [01:49] DilloDroid: cloning? What for [01:49] DilloDroid needs to clone his system to and external USB hard drive partition [01:49] DilloDroid> I'm a Mac person, so just need a simple interface like Carbon Copy Cloner [01:49] try Clonezilla [01:49] DilloDroid: why do you need to do that [01:49] Yeah, that looks like a pain to install on Ubuntu [01:50] I want to be able to boot from the portable drive if needed [01:50] as a clone of the current system [01:50] in ubuntu mate theres the "disks" tool [01:50] DilloDroid: https://sourceforge.net/projects/redobackup/?source=directory [01:50] ehh.. not that one [01:50] yeah, the Backup utility in Ubuntu won't do it [01:51] that'd for backup of data [01:51] won't clone [01:51] ok [01:51] *that's* [01:51] clonezilla [01:51] i dont know it though [01:51] yeah, the installation looks messy [01:51] considering Fog [01:52] just wondered if anyone had experience with that sort of thing [01:54] not me [01:54] k, thanks anyway [01:56] Hello! My ubuntu-tweak-tools doesn't change the icon theme in unity laucher. Any idea? [01:56] Why not just rsync / ? [01:56] K-arch> DilloDroid: https://sourceforge.net/projects/redobackup/?source=directory << looks good, thanks :) [01:57] Kenrin> Why not just rsync / ? << I'd rather use a GUI if I can [01:57] something like Carbon Copy Cloner [01:57] So use Grsync [01:58] rsync -a -x / /media/backupdisk/ [01:59] i think the command for exact copy is: rsync -a -x --delete / /media/backupdisk/ [01:59] GRSYNC is in the the Ubuntu Software Center [01:59] taking a look... [02:00] i think its installed by default in ubuntu [02:00] so you already have it [02:00] rsync is, not the GUI frontend though [02:01] right [02:01] not installed, but available [02:01] installing now [02:02] Redo looks pretty cool too. It uses partclone, which clonzeilla uses [02:03] I need to run this from my internal to update my external [02:04] "Runs from CD/USB" << Redo [02:04] j #puppylinux [02:04] Yeah same as clonezilla [02:04] it's basically disaster recovery for the main Ubuntu system [02:04] Rsync probably what you after then [02:05] I know you want a GUI, but wouldn't it be easier to just setup a cron job rsync assuming the external is always connected ? [02:06] or even not assuming [02:06] * Kenrin shrugs [02:06] Why the does the xenial amd64 installer still look for i386 files? And is there a way to stop it via preseed from doing this? [02:06] look for? [02:10] DilloDroid needs to clone his system to and external USB hard drive partition [02:10] oops, wrong channel, sorry [02:12] Dear ubuntu [02:12] my ubuntu server is not honoring the nameserver entries defined in /etc/network/interfaces [02:12] here's the config file: http://termbin.com/efci [02:12] At reboot, pinging google.com no longer works until I make a manual fix by "echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf" [02:12] Any ideas ? [02:14] so i screwded the DEs up somehow....I installed LXDE and tried it but cant switch back to XFCE now [02:14] the "choose" menu will not accept my login except for LXDE [02:15] installer is requesting i386 Packages file [02:15] how do I get back to XFCE and remove LXDE? [02:15] Benderrodriguez: Edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base [02:15] anyone can help me? [02:16] Kenrin: is that new to 16.04? I've never had DNS issues when putting it in /etc/network/interfaces [02:16] hrmf [02:16] my terminal does not work root password [02:16] fastloris: lxde didnt work better? [02:16] New as of 12.04, resolvconf is supposed to grab it from the interfaces file [02:16] theres a "logout" option there somewhere [02:16] alexpc: Depends, we do not fix broken hearts . [02:17] TheMarius: When I log out or reboot and it takes me to the "choose DE and LOG IN" screen it won't let me log into xubuntu [02:17] XFCE [02:17] try to login as root [02:17] it just blanks the boxes out when I type my log in and password....if I choose LXDE it boots [02:17] hmm [02:17] however [02:17] i am trying this new version of ubunto mate [02:17] did lxde run better? [02:17] benderrodriguez: I see your problem though, use dns-nameservers not just nameservers [02:17] how? the choises are syslog, sane and other where I fill in blank [02:18] alexpc: "terminal does not work root password " explain please . Be aware when the pass word is entred there is no reponse to the screen . [02:18] LXDE seems a little bit faster but it's ugly as hell [02:18] yep exactly [02:18] any idea why I cannot log into XFCE now? [02:18] there are nice looking customized lxde's ... but question is if its fast enough to be worth it? [02:19] Kenrin: oh... [02:19] fastloris: try "logout" [02:19] i can log out fine [02:19] and login again.. should be some kind of menu there [02:19] i cant log back in to anything but LXDE [02:19] i can use my password to enter system normally howsoever when it comes terminal my password does not work . what todo? [02:19] if I choose anything from the menu but LXDE it won't accept my name and password and just resets the boaxes [02:20] fastloris: may i suggest you just install something else? if lxde is slow too [02:20] i might...but first I want to get back to XFCE [02:20] "dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1 8.8.8.8" That should work [02:20] 'Xfce' [02:20] i have formated my laptop 2 times already [02:20] alexpc: you been using encryption? [02:20] no [02:21] does anyone know why I can only log into lxde and not xfce? [02:21] this optin i din t selet when intalling [02:21] fastloris: guess i should try to help here.. let me check [02:22] when rebooting...or logging out...I get a page with usernames in middle...and DE and language at bottom [02:22] alexpc: At the login screen key combo ctl+alt+F1 gives a console interface . Her enter your username .. you will next be asked for your password. Enter your password blindly and hot the enter key . do you log into the system now ? [02:23] I choose xfce or xubuntu session and it will not log in with my username or password..just blank out when I press enter [02:23] fastloris: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxdm [02:23] if I choose LXDE or Openbox it logs in to the LXDE DE [02:23] try that one and pick the other [02:23] choice is lxdm and lightdm [02:24] pick lightdm [02:24] i picked lxdm atfirst as thats what google said was right [02:24] ok [02:24] just returned me to user prompt.. [02:24] after choosing light DM [02:25] sudo chown username:username .Xauthority [02:25] sudo chmod a+wt /tmp [02:25] try that too [02:25] i follow a guide i found here [02:25] then reboot [02:25] says invalid user [02:25] username is your user [02:26] i put my username and it says invalid user [02:26] if its fastloris its sudo chown fastloris:fastloris [02:26] hmmmm [02:26] ah [02:26] i put it only second half [02:26] second half is for the group, which is usually the same as your username [02:27] windows have a few edges over linux in terms of userfriendlyness on stuff like this [02:27] ok reboot now? [02:27] i guess.. i hope it works [02:27] i did those two commands properly...nothing happened visibly [02:27] just returned me to user prompt [02:27] How do I verify that my DHCP server is running? [02:27] no you claimed ownership [02:27] ok [02:27] since you couldnt log in to xfce [02:28] hope to see you soon :| [02:28] me too [02:28] good luck [02:29] Mannylnj: that would depend on what dhcp server you installed, but probably something like systemctl status dhcpd4.service [02:29] and if it fails, its time to ditch ubuntu and try the other distros ... theres tons.. macpup is one for really old hardware [02:29] hey [02:29] it worked [02:29] thanks [02:30] alexpc: All in the learning curve . :) [02:30] Marius it didnt work [02:30] Can still only choose LXDE [02:31] and now fan is running non stop [02:31] but how can i get out of black screeen without rebbot computer? [02:31] all I wanted to do was try anothe DE ffs [02:31] i have no clue fastloris [02:31] but either way it doesnt sound like its the right distro for it [02:31] I can't boot into the XCFE default [02:31] so time to download another one [02:32] well right now everything is a mess [02:32] you havent used it much right so no need for backups? [02:32] It was slow but working before...Id like to get back to how it was [02:32] i sede alt +control + f1 black screen [02:32] I have backups but no other computer....and very slow internet [02:32] so to get another Distro will take a day [02:32] sigh ... ok try to delete lxde and lxdm [02:32] I jsut want to remove LXDE and get back to XFCE [02:33] sudo apt-get purge lxde lxdm [02:33] alexpc: you mean back to GUI? ctrl+alt+F6 [02:33] can I delete them from inside lxde? [02:33] i think so ... ask the experts here [02:33] anyone? [02:33] and is there a way to stop fan? its going on high non stop since reboot [02:33] how does fastloris_ get back xfce ? [02:34] sounds allmost like xfce runs in the background on top of lxde [02:34] lxde is supposed to be easier instead its screwing everything up [02:34] not easier.. lighter [02:34] i assumed you'd get a login option to pick one [02:34] I'd just purge xfce then reinstall that noise [02:34] But I'm not an expert, =o [02:35] log in choices are lxde, openbox, xfce and xubuntu session... [02:35] xfce and xubuntu session won't log in [02:35] openbox will? [02:35] username and password only works for other two...yes penbox will but it just goes to lxde desktop [02:35] fan is going to explode so I could use some advise [02:36] can I purge a DE from inside the DE? [02:36] If it isn't the DE you are using, sure [02:36] and have I somehow blocked my permission from XFCE? [02:36] Or just drop back to shell [02:36] well it IS the DE I am using as its the only one I can get in [02:36] i dont get how that would have happened [02:36] and I have no idea how to just use shell [02:37] this is typical though [02:37] ive messed up a few distros too [02:37] ctrl-alt-f1 to f5 does the trick to pop you into shell [02:37] so what do I do? [02:37] f6 is the gui [02:37] HI G [02:37] hi gays [02:38] fastloris: still got the xubuntu usb stick there, right? === tinoco is now known as tinocoff [02:39] Er, make that tty7 the gui [02:39] ehh [02:40] fastloris? [02:40] one last shot ... try sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop [02:40] that installs the proper lubuntu desktop [02:41] im following guides ... i shouldnt :/ but i kind of thought you had usb stick with xubuntu worst case scenario [02:41] so you'd just reinstall === alan_ is now known as Guest25628 [02:42] oh well.. [02:43] how do I get UDF formatted dvd's to automount? ISO format dvd's do and bluray disks do, just not udf dvd. I'm running 14.04.4 4.2.0-34-generic #39~14.04.1-Ubuntu [02:43] GAAAAHHHHHHHHH [02:43] I wish I could just afford a new MBP....linux is not good for me [02:44] it is if you just get it working [02:44] Did I get kicked out? it says I quit [02:44] i can aford a macbook pro but i dont bother buying it [02:44] cause linux works and i want to stay open source [02:45] The Marius the problem is I have constant problems like this...OSX never gave me problems...I just cannot afford this anymore [02:45] I want to stay open as well...but its so much trouble [02:45] what sort of problems will they be? [02:45] no its not once you get a distro that works [02:45] always some app breaking or bug or thing like this [02:46] I have no idea what happened....I purged LXDE and thank god it worked [02:46] Told you ;P [02:46] fastloris: that's the whole learning process [02:46] fastloris: good [02:46] Kenrin I had no idea how to get out of the shell...I pressed f1 and was in the shell and just did apt-get purge lxde and thankfully it worked [02:46] tried then restart...then shutdown...the finally reboot worked [02:47] Yeah my bad I meant to say hit ctrl-alt-f7 to go back to GUI [02:47] had no idea what I was doing [02:47] ...and lxdm ? [02:47] cause you dont need it [02:47] purge out that too [02:47] I was cursing you Kenrin ;) [02:47] HOW DO I GET OUT [02:47] lol [02:47] haha [02:47] startx always works too =o [02:47] marius I couldnt remember LXDM...do I need to do it separarely now? [02:48] nah if everything works you can leave it [02:48] command "damnyoukenrin" didnt work [02:48] to get out of shell [02:48] haha [02:48] someone told me to try arch....no way...i cant even handle xubuntu [02:48] snappy packages are supposed to fix that [02:48] I'm using Arch [02:48] would xubuntu 16.04 have snappy as well? [02:49] since ubuntu 16.04 does? [02:49] Only because I need kernel 4.6 for skylake though === tinocoff is now known as tinoco === tinoco is now known as tinocoff === tinocoff is now known as tinoco === tinoco is now known as tinocoff [02:49] so alt f1 is go to full shell and alt f7 back to DE? [02:49] theres www.lxle.net .. ubuntu based... puppy linux... opensuse xfce ... solydx ... crunchbang plusplus with openbox [02:49] f1 through f6 is your six shell sessions [02:50] f7 is the gui [02:50] why are there 6? [02:50] In case you need to do different things or watch logs or whatever else [02:50] ah [02:50] Same reason it gives you like four desktops to switch between [02:50] if you look at lxle.net you see how lxde is supposed to look, fastloris [02:50] so will snappy packages work on any ubuntu flavor or just main? [02:50] it already works but its still in beta [02:51] it will be rolled into ubuntu 16.04 -> [02:52] gradually [02:52] only a few packages atm [02:52] so right now how do you get snappys in 16.04? are they in gnome software center? [02:52] nah just a small list [02:52] i guess it will come to the software centre in a while but not this year [02:52] Kenrin, wheh I do systemctl status dhcpd4.service I get systemctl: command not found [02:53] so any idea why I couldn't log in to XFCE with LXDE installed? it was weird...and it ran fan 100% [02:53] You on a ubuntu distro that uses systemd ? or something older ? [02:53] i assume there was some conflict and you might have been running both desktops simultaniously [02:53] however you got it sorted out [02:53] xubuntu 14.04 [02:54] i might have gone for www.lxle.net [02:54] well I removed LXDE but have no idea why it happened...I hate solving soething but not knowing why or how I did it [02:54] Kenrin, I am on 14.04 LTS [02:54] I am afraid to try another DE after this [02:54] think I will just leave it alone [02:55] since this is my only computer for now [02:55] Did you install isc-dhcp-server ? systemctl status isc-dhcp-server [02:55] It would all depend on what dhcp server you got installed [02:55] but systemctl status is the command [02:55] fastloris: if you can install, you just have a usb stick or dvd with some distro and test out various kinds [02:55] OH its a distro....not DE [02:56] right [02:56] thought it was another light DE [02:56] Sorry I meant that to be systemctl status isc-dhcp-server.service [02:56] Kenrin, I do have isc-dhcp-server but systemctl seems to not be a valid command [02:56] Oh [02:56] no its generally not recomended to install a DE over existing one but i figured since xfce seems to run so bad why not try [02:56] you were testing [02:56] I think I am going to leave this one alone...and wait until I get another laptop to distro hop [02:56] cant risk losing this one to a problem [02:56] not really ... all you need is 2 usb sticks [02:57] oh you mean try it live? [02:57] 1 with a distro you know works.. like xubuntu [02:57] MannyLNJ: try service isc-dhcp-server status [02:57] and 1 for testing various others [02:57] yeah [02:57] and if it runs well, install it [02:57] nothing I can do with a live session will mess up the installed xubuntu? [02:57] no [02:57] however [02:57] gel [02:57] you want to have 1 usb stick with a working os [02:58] and backup of everything [02:58] I have elementary OS dual installed...its just a bit too rigid....runs ok....but I can't adjust things the way I like === tinocoff is now known as tinoco [02:58] you could use dropbox or google drive for backup [02:58] just remember login name / pass [02:58] Kenrin, status: Unknown job: isc-dhcp-server [02:58] I have all files etc backed up on external HDDs [02:58] why not run elementary os then? [02:58] so thats not a huge problem.... [02:59] well Elementary isnt much faster than Xubuntu...and you cannot customize it much [02:59] elementary os is supposed to be rigid .. its there to run software and thats basically it :P [02:59] doesnt even have menus in a lot of places [02:59] yeah [02:59] lxle like i pointed to could be an option .. funny it runs better than xfce but if it does, i dont get why you want xfce :P [02:59] MannyLNJ: You sure you got it installed then? It should tell you either stopped or start|running [02:59] if this was 64bit I might try solus [03:00] but its 64 only [03:00] Kenrin, I am pretty sure I have it installed. How can I verify? [03:00] elementary os is probably excellent for your use, fastloris [03:00] it takes me about 5-6 hours min to get a single distro due to slow internet so I need to pick wisely [03:00] id stick to that one [03:00] better than xubuntu? [03:00] or just because I am stupid? ;) [03:01] you need a working computer.... you have one with elementary os [03:01] dpkg -s isc-dhcp-server [03:01] Could also try just installing it again [03:01] well Xubuntu works...just lags a bit and fan spins up a lot....but its not stuck on like LXDE ways [03:01] which? [03:01] i run samba and various stuff ... i want the options mate gives me .. however, if i just had an old laptop that ran elementary fine, id stick with that one [03:01] you dont need xfce [03:02] you want libreoffice, gimp, hexchat, chrome browser and that sort of stuff [03:02] Kenrin, it says Status: install ok installed [03:02] thats what elementary os is there for [03:02] only media I have is xubuntu disk...I dont have elementary disk anymore so would have to dl and burn another [03:02] The things i need are libreoffice, firefox, tor browesr, vlc, peazip, veracrypt, [03:03] maybe few more I can't think of [03:03] did you look at www.lxle.net ? i tried it and i was happy with it.. its an alternative to elementary .. it use the dreaded lxde but it looks pretty and has everything you'd need [03:03] MannyLNJ: What does "service isc-dhcp-server start" tell you? [03:03] does lxle support gtk2 stuff? [03:03] not sure .. think so [03:03] so I can change theme and icons etc? [03:03] Kenrin, it says start: Job failed to start [03:03] lxde didnt have compositing and I couldnt get one to work with it [03:04] idk ... look at it... but elementary os really does the job, and if you like osx it kind of speaks for itself :P [03:04] its not like you can customize osx much :P [03:04] i'd like to try apricity...looks great and is the style I like [03:04] but cant see if they have 32bit option [03:04] MannyLNJ: Sounds like you messed something up in the config inside either /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server or /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf [03:04] apricity is one of those newer distros... probably 64 bit by default [03:05] probably..solus is too [03:05] Kenrin, how do I copy those files to pastebin to get help? [03:05] i have a torrent of 32bit antergos ready to DL [03:05] id avoid antergos [03:05] and had xubuntu 16.04 queued up as well [03:05] cause its buggy [03:05] really? [03:05] yep [03:05] reviews said its great [03:05] figures [03:06] maybe but i think its like fedora [03:06] !ot [03:06] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:06] MannyLNJ: Just check the files to be sure you changed everything correctly, here is something from askubuntu about it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/140126/how-do-i-install-and-configure-a-dhcp-server [03:07] It has the sample configs too [03:07] so is lkle a flavor...or its own distro? [03:07] lxle [03:07] i dont think tmg wants us to chat more [03:07] PM [03:07] oh is !ot mean of topic? [03:07] yea [03:08] well we are talking ubuntu again...as lxle is ubuntu based [03:08] but I can pm if its ok [03:08] sure sent you an image of it on pm [03:09] Hello [03:11] Kenrin, it looks right to me so I must not be undestanding what I am seing [03:12] goto pastebin.com and link it to us [03:12] My PC broke (Windows boot failed) and I need to send it in. However, I want to back up my files, and I have Ubuntu 16.04 LiveCD running right now. I can't find any drives (or the devices tab) in the explorer, so I tried installing Ubuntu. I accidently selected a partition and hit the minus, so I shut off my PC (and the partition is still listed). Is that bad? Also, may I get help in backing up? Thanks! [03:15] TGVoid: Are you saying you intalled Ubuntu over your windows partition? [03:15] Sounds like he closed it before it made any changes [03:16] Kenrin, http://paste.ubuntu.com/16755539/ for '/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf' [03:17] I didn't install it at all. I was on the third dot of the set up (manual partition selection) and I selected one of my Windows partitions. I then hit the minus button, and I unplugged my USB and shut off my PC 30 seconds after (when I realized that I was an idiot) [03:18] I booted back into LiveCD and my partition was still there [03:19] MannyLNJ: Looks ok, Are you currently using a DHCP IP Address on that system? [03:19] Kenrin, No I have tis system set to a staic IP of 192.168.1.3 [03:20] Kenrin, mu ultimate goal is to take the dhcp role away from my router [03:20] So I should be fine with my partition, right? [03:21] k0013th4n [03:21] k00l3th4n [03:21] TGVoid: Yes, if your partition is listed then you are still fine. [03:21] Thanks! Now, how do I back it up if none of my partitions are listed in the file explorer? [03:22] k00l3th4n Sorry. I keep forgetting to tag you [03:23] TGVoid: So you aren't able to navigate that drive? Can you find a home directory? [03:24] k00l3th4n: I can find home. It only losts Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Public, Templates, and Videos though. [03:24] MannyLNJ: You are using a /27 CIDR with a range to .199 [03:24] Your CIDR only goes up to .30 [03:24] That is the only issue I see [03:25] TGVoid: Hold on just a minute. BRB [03:25] Kenrin, How do I correct that? I want to use .200-.250 for my VPN connections [03:25] k00l3th4n: No problem [03:25] Use a different subnet then [03:27] Make the netmask 255.255.255.0 and you can use up to .254 [03:28] TGVoid: What is the name of the windows partion? [03:28] Kenrin, I made the change but still no good emanuel@ToshSatUbu:~$ sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart [03:28] stop: Unknown instance: [03:28] start: Job failed to start [03:29] TGVoid: Is it NTFS or FAT? [03:29] ics maybe ? [03:29] Kenrin, new pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/16755788/ [03:29] SDA4 on NTFS [03:29] k00l3th4n: [03:31] Try 'mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /mnt' Change the /dev/sda4 to match your drive path. [03:31] I'll throw it into a VM and test [03:32] Do you want a file in /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf ? [03:32] *have [03:33] Kenrin, checking [03:34] Kenrin, I don't have a /etc/ltsp directory it seems [03:34] k00l3th4n: I need root. How do I get root access on the terminal? [03:34] TGVoid: Type 'sudo' before the command. [03:36] k00l3th4n: It's a long error. Let me send a screen. [03:38] k00l3th4n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16755947/ [03:38] Kenrin, My mouse just stopped responding [03:39] uncomment the netbios stuff [03:39] Er i mean comment out [03:41] commentetd out still no change. I'm going to eboot to se if my mouse comes back [03:44] TGVoid: So it seems the drive is corrupt/locked. You need to repair it through Linux being you can't boot Windows. [03:44] Type 'sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs' [03:45] hi everyone, i'm having trouble making a bootable ubuntu 16.04 live usb. i'm on fedora, i've been using unetbootin. all my computers are pre-UEFI [03:45] Guys, what is the error in this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16755788/ ? [03:45] any ideas? [03:45] Then, type sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda4 or whatever the name of your drive is. [03:49] Nevermind, I got it working, he was missing a } [03:50] Syntax errors drive me crazy === ubuntu is now known as Guest64174 [03:51] k00l3th4n: Did what you said. Here's what came up: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16756184 [03:52] k00l3th4n: I pasted the wrong log http://paste.ubuntu.com/16756203 [03:53] MannyLNJ: You were missing a } line after the range [03:53] Kenrin, thanks let mr edit again [03:53] Syntax errors driving me crazy =/ [03:54] k00l3th4n: The thing is, the day I couldn't boot into Windows was 2 hours after I left to go somewhere. I couldn't boot out of nowhere, and I didn't do anything to the partitions until today with Ubuntu [03:54] Kenrin, is this right now? http://paste.ubuntu.com/16756249/ === alberto is now known as Guest5886 [03:55] No you want the } on a line by itself [03:55] right under range [03:55] Just like it does it in all the examples [03:55] TGVoid: I hate to break it to you... but I think it might be unrecoverable. [03:56] Kenrin, Success (I think) isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 3142 [03:56] k00l3th4n: There's no way to check? [03:56] Yay, sorry that took so long to figure out. I had to run it through a VM a few times [03:56] TGVoid: The system is corrupt. You need to run a check of the system. The only way to do that is with Windows. Tha's not an option if you can't boot into the system. [03:57] I can make a recovery disk, and I have a Windows ISO burned onto a CD. Will that work? [03:57] Kenrin, thank you. Now is there an easy way to find the MAC addresses of the ystsems connecting so I can reserve IP's? I want my printers and Set top boxes to have specific IP's [03:57] I'd say it's worth a shot. [03:58] I tried refreshing my PC, but the drive is locked [03:58] All the information will be in /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases [03:58] I'm not sure what information it gives you, but it'll be there [03:58] Kenrin, thanks again [03:59] Np [03:59] I'm not very familiar with the Windows fine system. If you can somehow get a shell running on Windows you can hopefully fix the disk. [04:00] Did you try safemode? [04:00] k00l3th4n: Do you think Microsoft support will be able to help me? [04:00] I can't boot in at all. There are missing boot files [04:00] MannyLNJ: also, check the arp table using "arp -a". Note that it takes time for this cache to populate. [04:03] TGVoid, k00l3th4n sorry to interrupt but what do you mean by drive is locked? are you using encryption? also if losing data is a problem, you can use a tool like ddrescue to make a full backup before trying to fix things [04:03] auk: When trying to refresh Windows, it wouldn't let me because the drive is locked [04:04] auk: I meant corrupt from an improper shutdown, etc. [04:04] I never encrypted my drive [04:06] auk k00l3th4n This may seem crazy, but is there any way I can connect my laptop to my functioning tower (with Windows 10) and do things from there? [04:06] Or maybe connect my hard drive from my tower, boot from that, and back my laptop? [04:08] TGVoid, k00l3th4n hmm have you looked at links like this? https://www.boyans.net/RepairWindows/The_drive_where_Windows_is_installed_is_locked.html [04:09] TGVoid: you can definitely connec the laptop harddrive to a working computer and backup your files that way (then maybe reinstall windows on laptop after) [04:09] auk I've looked at part of it. Let me try that out. [04:09] auk I can't because I have to send the laptop in for a warranty repair, and I don't want to void that [04:10] TGVoid: oh i see :/ yeah sorry i just got here halfway thru so i'm just talking without being really sure what all you're working with [04:11] auk: I don't think it is locked but corrupt. [04:11] k00l3th4n: It was working fine, I left it for 2 hours, then this happened. I'm not sure how it would be corrupt in the small time frame [04:12] k00l3th4n: yeah i saw you suggest ntfsfix earlier, if it's newer windows though i dunno if linux tools can handle it? [04:12] TGVoid: Yeah, it seams crazy but shit happens. [04:13] i have a disk with bad sectors. how can I format around them? [04:13] auk: Yeah, I'm wasnt sure if it would either but I figured it was worth a shot. [04:14] TGVoid: You can try pulling out your hardrive or SSD and mount it through your Desktop. [04:14] k00l3th4n: Can't. Warranty will be voided. [04:14] Guest76923: You probably want to use badblock -svn /dev/whatever or fsck with badblocks option enabled [04:14] TGVoid, k00l3th4n : umm what's the ubuntu link here? [04:15] Hello. I just installed Lubuntu 16.04LTS and it keeps freezing and javascript error pop up windows. I know it's the 4 add-ons.... [04:15] Guest76923, formatting will not repair, replace the disk. [04:15] TGVoid: were you doing somethiing with ubuntu or are you just using ubuntu to fix the windows?

Is there data on the locked drive that you need or is wiping it clean ok? [04:16] the partition editor tells me where they are... in hex. [04:16] ...the 4 add-ons are ad block plus, ghostery, disconnect me and badger. [04:16] auk: I needed to back it up before sending it to ASUS [04:16] TGVoid: Hmmmm... I'd say the next step would be to try and get whoever you are sending it to to recover your drive. [04:16] TGVoid: you are not able to boot into windows? [04:17] Kenrin: thank you earlier for all the live system help, btw [04:17] harishkrupo: auk k00l3th4n Can't boot [04:17] TGVoid, k00l3th4n why not use and ubuntu live usb to backup the drive to an external drive? === alan_ is now known as Guest82655 [04:18] harishkrupo: auk k00l3th4n I don't have one. I was planning on uploading it to onedrive when I can access the files in an OS [04:18] auk: That would work too. lol Sorry, brain failure. [04:18] TGVoid: what does it say when you try to boot [04:18] TGVoid: how big is the drive? there's a great tool called ddrescue which will copy the raw drive, it even supports pause/resume [04:19] harishkrupo: Boot files missing. I can't refresh the drive because "the drive is locked" and Ubuntu couldn't fix it. [04:19] try boot-repair https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair it has an option to fix windows boot files [04:20] is there a way to convert "Bad cluster: 0xb779f - 0xb779f" into something that tells me where to not have a partition? [04:20] i only need this drive to work for a week or two tops [04:20] auk: 1 TB, but I don't have an empty drive or an external one for that matter [04:20] TGVoid: try mouting the partition with -o remove_hiberfile ? [04:21] how can i launch the "openstego" program? [04:21] harishkrupo: I couldn't mount the drive in Ubuntu [04:22] tgvoid why can you not mount the drive? [04:22] harishkrupo: k00l3th4n Helped me with that and we failed [04:22] Hi All... I am not sure if this is the correct room for this question, but I am looking for a good hosting company where I can get a dedicated server from? Anyone know of a good and reliable one? [04:23] Anybody know what are the best add ons (like ghostery, badger, ad block plus) that are firefox friendly iow won't freeze, long uploads, or javascript errors? [04:23] TGVoid: then try boot repair [04:23] Hello [04:23] it usually works [04:23] anyone have a recommendation for a free bouncer server for irc because my network is unstable at times? One that supports autoconnecting to multiple IRC networks at once as well? [04:23] harishkrupo: Guest76923 http://paste.ubuntu.com/16756203 Type 'sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs' Then, type sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda4 or whatever the name of your drive is. === Poke95 is now known as Poke95|away [04:24] I don't think his drive is ntfs [04:24] oh. [04:24] Is it ? [04:24] my drive, with the bad blocks? [04:24] Ya [04:24] or tg's drive? [04:25] harishkrupo: Windows Startup Repair doesn't work, but I'll try that after I use the method auk sent [04:25] kenrin I think it is. Let me double check in Command Prompt in Windows [04:25] My Windows ISO DVD* [04:26] TGVoid: be careful, i did not check to make sure those methods WILL/WONT wipe your drive [04:26] TGVoid: please don't accidentally wipe your drive because of me :) [04:26] TGVoid: did you try the boot repair? [04:26] Honestly, I've never had the startup repair work for me in windows [04:26] are you sure it was ntfs, not exfat? [04:27] harishkrupo: Not yet. [04:27] Guest76923: you're trying to map bad blocks, right? this might help https://www.smartmontools.org/browser/trunk/www/badblockhowto.xml [04:27] Booting back into Ubuntu to check partitions [04:28] auk, i really just want to wipe the disk and format around the bad sectors. [04:29] i'm currently running badblocks -svn /dev/sdb [04:29] AxD79: Ever hear of a small orange? I'm not affiliated with them. Give them a look. Good luck! [04:29] harishkrupo: I haven't installed Ubuntu. I'm using LiveCD. Will it still work? [04:30] Something is binding port 6600 on tcp6 and I can't figure out what. netstat shows the port listening but with no pid/process name. fuser/lsof can't find anything. What could it be? what other commands can I use to figure it out === Poke95|away is now known as Poke95 [04:30] TGVoid: the last time it did work for me [04:31] lsof -i :6600 [04:32] the partition editor told me where the bad sectors are, can i use that information to skip badblocks? [04:32] OerHeks: that comes up with nothing [04:33] because i'm 17 minutes in and not yet 2% [04:33] or sudo netstat -peant | grep ":6600" [04:33] netstat has a - in the pid column [04:33] johnzorn, music player daemon? [04:34] harishkrupo: Boot repair is scanning os-prober [04:34] Guest76923: I'd just let the badblocks run, it'll take awhile because it will write to every sector then mark the ones bad [04:34] ok -peant worked much better than -netlup. I see it's some python process thanks [04:35] i was just thinking it's a huge disk that i really don't need the entirety of [04:35] Ah [04:35] TGVoid: yeah it takes time [04:35] it's the only one i found out of six that doesn't click [04:35] harishkrupo: About how long? [04:36] and the partition editor mentioned where the bad sectors are [04:36] TGVoid: min 4 mins [04:36] TGVoid: can take upto 10 mins [04:36] harishkrupo: Alrighty. Thanks! I'll get back when it's done. [04:37] I don't know of any other way to do it except from inside the program that located the bad sectors, badblocks, fsck, or chkdsk [04:37] Or a full format [04:38] All of which take quite a long time [04:38] kenrin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16757029/ it tells me where the bad ones are [04:39] i'm just not sure what to do with this information. I feel i could make a decision on where to not format with it. [04:39] Kenrin, is there a way to translate from the hex to MB? [04:41] harishkrupo: Scanning systems (mount) [04:42] TGVoid: ok [04:42] There used to be a way to do what you want Guest... But I think they rolled everything into chkdsk to make things simple.. [04:42] hi all. i am facing the same issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2323320 running xubuntu 16.04 with a clean installation. My settings are too: Automatically check for updates: Daily, When there are security updates: Display immediately, When there are other updates: Display immediately.Any idea or help? [04:44] Oh well, out of my knowledge base, I gotta head home anyway [04:44] Kenrin, if I nuke the drive, will it even matter? [04:44] nuke? as in format ? [04:44] harishkrupo: "Please backup your data before this operation" [04:44] yeah. [04:44] it's an old windows drive. [04:44] A full format will get rid of the bad sectors the same as badblocks would [04:44] Just don't do a quick format [04:45] TGVoid: did you start the repair? [04:45] i'm changing to ext4, how do i avoid a quick format? [04:45] TGVoid: how big is your windows partition? [04:45] harishkrupo: Is it going to erase my stuff? I needed to back it up and then send it in for repair. [04:45] Just whenever it asks, select full format =) [04:45] good, that makes my life easier. [04:45] i didn't want to wait all night for badblocks. [04:45] thanks much for all of your help today [04:45] harishkrupo: 900 GB I believe. It has my personal files on that one partition [04:46] * Guest76923 was the gest on the live system earlier too [04:46] TGVoid: boot repair generally doesnt write the mbr, but lets not take any risk? [04:47] harishkrupo: Is there another way to back up without a second hard drive? [04:47] what do you get when you try to mount the drive? [04:48] harishkrupo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16756203 [04:50] TGVoid: Are you sure your drive is not corrupt? [04:50] TGVoid: it look like corruption [04:50] I'm not sure [04:51] so I'm having an extraordinary amount of trouble installing ubuntu since I'm new to linux and I would greatly appreciate some help [04:51] Can anything be recovered at all? [04:51] TGVoid: give me the output of fdisk -l /dev/sdX [04:52] I've figured out that I need to mount my empty hard drive, but have a hard time remembering how to do that, and then I came across other issues [04:52] is there a particular type of formatting I should do with it? === troy_cambridge is now known as Guest30720 === Guest30720 is now known as troy_cambridge [04:55] coreyofcabra, I would just format as ext2/ext4. It's really simple to do using the terminal (parted) or gparted. [04:55] harishkrupo: paste.ubuntu.com/16757273 [04:56] is one of those better than the other or are they equal? [04:56] To be honest, I do not know. I personally format all of my drives ext4 and I have never had any issues. [04:57] TGVoid: cat /proc/partitions? [04:58] TGVoid, alternatively you can do blkid. [04:58] or lsblk [04:58] TGVoid: yeah blkid will be better [04:59] I've got an end of file while reading error thing. Does that mean anything? [04:59] harishkrupo: paste.ubuntu.com/16757329 [05:00] TGVoid: it completely skipped /dev/sda4! looks like the partition is corrupted [05:01] harishkrupo: I was trying to install Ubuntu and I hit the minus button with that partition on accident and shut down. Could that be why? [05:02] no just hitting the minus button does not delete it [05:03] But you booted into ubuntu because windows was showing missing boot files right? [05:03] Yes [05:03] TGVoid: did you try fsck [05:03] In Windows or Ubuntu? [05:04] in ubuntu [05:04] I don't think so [05:05] TGVoid: before that try mounting it using ntfs-3g command [05:06] What's the mountpoint? [05:06] mnt [05:08] harishkrupo: paste.ubuntu.com/16757460 [05:10] TGVoid: ok looks like it is corrupted [05:10] TGVoid: you can try photorec to recover your files [05:10] TGVoid: did you try ntfsfix? [05:10] harishkrupo: What's required, and how do I do that? [05:11] Not sure [05:11] !photorec | ubottu [05:11] photorec is a command line tool [05:12] OK, so I have an ext4 formatted drive. I think I have to mount it now. [05:12] TGVoid: try ntfsfix first and read this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [05:15] I don't have another storage volume. What can I do? [05:18] did you try ntfsfix? [05:18] TGVoid: is that partition a software raid? [05:21] How do I use NTFSFIX? And I never set up RAID [05:21] TGVoid: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sda [05:23] harishkrupo: paste.ubuntu.com/16757648 [05:23] harishkrupo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/16757648 [05:24] why is my system not getting scanned =( [05:24] TGVoid: last option, try using a windows cd to repair the disk. If it doesnt work then I am not sure what else can be done [05:25] Using the preset options or CMD? [05:25] Using the preset options, I'm already done [05:26] TGVoid: using the cmd [05:26] Do you know a good method?

ASUS won't do anything with data [05:39] harishkrupo: If I had a spare drive, what would I have to do? [05:42] TGVoid: try the link that i sent you [05:42] harishkrupo: Which link?

[06:02] energizer: You could just ssh user@localhost from the server itself when you are ssh'd into it [06:03] Kenrin: perfect [06:03] I'd probably just passwd and change it [06:04] I have a long URL which I need to copy from my current system and paste it into my server command line via putty. [06:06] Right-click [06:07] Hello! [06:07] Just hightlight stuff inside putty if you want to paste it in windows [06:07] AxD79: putty supports copypaste, the menu starts from upper left corner [06:08] the right click thing should be disabled as pasting from right click is very unnatural for all computer environments [06:08] many programs in x11 environment get pastes from middle click but nobody gets that from right click [06:09] Hey that is why I use mobaxterm [06:09] in windows environment the right click most naturally opens up a context sensitive menu of whatever you clicked [06:09] But he is using putty so.

[09:28] :D [09:28] mihael_k33hl: great, no problem [09:29] mihael_k33hl: we didn't mount the boot partition cause it's just a partition for grub to be installed to for gpt to work with legacy (doesn't need a filesystem even) [09:29] Someone found solution for gdm3 black screen with nvidia gpu active? [09:30] activated* [09:30] those /dev ... are the virtual filesystems from the live usb, we mount binded them to the actual install to chroot to it and have access to the disks and other stuff [09:38] EriC^^, hmm I think I got it but not entirely.

[11:51] thanks [11:52] C_minus wait a bit, then try ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2) [11:57] ioria which line exactly do I need to change? There's one: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" [11:57] C_minus yes [11:57] Do I change it to read GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset" [11:57] C_minus yes [11:58] C_minus after sudo update-grub [11:58] ooooh OK let me just exit nano without saving the changes then... [11:58] C_minus you should save it [11:59] as a backup? [11:59] ok cool will do thanks [11:59] C_minus otherwise it won't work [12:00] oh i see what you're saying, of course. i thought you meant save a backup of the grub settings in case i screw something up [12:00] C_minus if you want, you can cp grub file as grub.back, yes [12:02] ok just changed the line and ran sudo update-grub. restart and enjoy?

[12:08] C_minus so, open a console and revert /etc/default/grub replace nomodeset with quite splash [12:08] C_minus then sudo update-grub and sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel [12:08] ioria, er ok. i can't do that as it stands (with the nomodeset parameter)?

[14:49] Hi there .. Which may be the best linux distro (debian) based on 16.04LTS for hardware resource of 4G RAM, i3 2.4GHz ? [14:50] found lots of suggestions but got little confused .. [14:50] everything will work [14:50] like for a long time use.. [14:51] cuz I'm running 16.04 on my mac right now and it doesn't seem to be any better :/ [14:51] I need not want to switch between other distros anymore [14:51] lomas: xfce or lxde [14:51] lomas: also mate would be good [14:52] currently I'm using Xbuntu, xfce I guess, [14:52] It has got problems .. Its very light though.. [14:53] Hydr0p0nX It'll be my laptop with server running in VM but fair enough. I'll check catalina.out then [14:53] and new to me [14:53] lomas: so if youre fine with it use it :) [14:54] what about ubuntu gnome .. ? I am planning to use that.. [14:54] lomas: test it, i didnt like it at all. But its my personal opinion === llorephie1 is now known as llorephie [14:55] among all which has got more support ?

Should I change this? Also could you send me a virtualbox image setup with Tomcat, this way we could determine if it's due to network settings or if I setup tomcat properly? Sorry to put you out. [15:04] I run Tomcat on servers for my employer, in ESX, I can't send you an image of those; you can use NAT, but you have to make sure to open any ports you need to access from the vmhost; otherwise, you can use bridged mode and have a little bit easier of a time [15:05] Hi [15:06] I have a problem with ubuntu 16.04.

[15:54] I noticed this somewhere [15:54] I don't know if 'notification' is the right word to use, its more of the volume bar that pops up when you adjust the sound [15:54] destinydriven, its probably due to some network traansmission or sound [15:55] destinydriven, that's crazy, never seen that one before [15:55] Its a bad transmission simply [15:55] it only happens when downloading torrents [15:56] Network interruption [15:57] hmm [15:57] time to change to su fedora os [15:57] hi all come to ##securify , we give you op after interview ... .

[Undecided,Confirmed] [16:18] akis describe the issue, instead of making us open en read lengthy technical posts [16:18] Is it safe enough to install 16.04 development version? [16:19] I'd like to get the newer Unity (panel at bottom instead of left), but I don't think I can install that without the rest of 16.04. [16:19] skinux 16.04 is no longer in development stage [16:19] skinux official release was 21 april [16:20] No update notification under 16.04. My setting are: Automatically check for updates: Daily- When there are security updates: Display immediately - When there are other updates: Display immediately [16:20] Well, I know it was released, but for some users it's not available until July I believe. But instructions said to install dev or something to get it before then. [16:20] I know my system said there wasn't an upgrade available. [16:21] skinux you mean 16.04.1, the point release ... as of that date, you can upgrade directly LTS > LTS [16:23] any one here know of a good gui based program for making a custom kubuntu live cd / install? [16:23] wanting to make a live cd with a whole crap load of default stuff ripped out lol [16:25] Well, if there is an upgrade available, why has my system said there isn't? [16:25] Also, it keeps saying there are updates available (red caution thing at the top of screen), but when I tell it to install updates, it says system is up to date. [16:27] skinux same issue with apt update/upgrade ? [16:29] skinux: the uprade from 14.04 to 16.04 is _not_ available yet, and forcing it will probably break your system. wait until july or clean install 16.04 now.

I can only asume that the devilspie is pretty old too do you know of something like that that is currently maintained? [16:48] rharik: you might want to look at a tiling window manager, then you can have pre-arranged layouts of the screen, like splitting it in four. and devilspie still works fine. [16:49] EriC^^: i see 15 lines in .xsession-errors not sure what they mean [16:49] ducasse, thats good to know. event with like 15.10? [16:49] ktinux: run the command i gave you and paste the link here [16:49] rharik i use gdevilspie, nothing wrong with it [16:50] cool, do you think it could break a large 4k monitor into 4 desktops? [16:50] EriC^^: http://termbin.com/7adb [16:50] rharik: i'm not sure devilspie is actively maintained, but some code is so simple it really doesn't need to be. it will still work.

[17:00] rharik: i use i3, so i know that can have pre-designed screen layouts. but be aware, it is a different way to work. [17:00] CyBerNetX start from the beginning, what are you trying to do [17:00] ducasse, how so? [17:00] i want to open windows in center of my screen , How to achieve that with Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity Desktop? [17:00] Now it's saying it can't find driver, which is either 'sqlite' or 'mysql' [17:00] rharik ducasse yes, i3 came to my mind too [17:01] Oops..wrong channel [17:01] ktinux: try renaming ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.gconf ~/.config in that order until one works [17:01] rharik: windows are placed and sized according to algorithms. try it, that's the best way to see what i mean. [17:01] MonkeyDust: i try to made an environement to use reborn clon of rb338 but it use 32bit libraryies libgtk1.2 [17:02] interesing so you would have to tweak algo to get the layout correct? [17:02] CyBerNetX i guess that's beyond the scope of this channel ... working with containers? [17:02] rharik: you would need to read the manual, at least ;) [17:02] EriC^^: should i put back the old .config/dconf? [17:02] ktinux: sure [17:02] ducasse, of course, thanks [17:02] EriC^^: wait how do i do that? [17:03] MonkeyDust: where i can find help ? [17:03] rharik: you choose which algorithms to use, and the windows rearrange automatically. [17:03] ktinux: mv ~/.config/dconf.old ~/.config/dconf [17:03] rharik: see i3wm.org [17:03] ktinux: maybe rm -r ~/.config/dconf first then run that [17:04] CyBerNetX are you working with docker or lxc? [17:04] yes I"m running in to talk about algorythms already. seems interesting [17:05] MonkeyDust: yes docker [17:05] i look form docker chans [17:05] CyBerNetX yes, type /j #docker ... some 1000 people are there [17:06] rharik: you can use different algorithms on different workspaces, according to what best suits the programs you run. it's very flexible, and can be controlled from the keyboard. [17:06] ok thanks [17:06] EriC^^: okay i did that. Now what do i do with .config/compiz-1 [17:06] thx MonkeyDust [17:06] CyBerNetX welcome [17:06] ktinux: mv ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1.old [17:06] Any help? :\ [17:07] hi [17:07] ducasse, so instead of 4 "desktops" on one monitor, you just break the monitor up according a certain layout, one taks bar, and use workspaces with different layouts [17:08] Have you ever had contact with problem with file, which you can open while being in directory, but in parent directory, you dont see it? [17:08] yes this is looking very promising. sometimes you just need to know what to search for. thanks folks [17:09] EriC^^: when i login i get system program problem detected...also moving the ~/.config/compiz-1 did not work either. I still get logged out. [17:10] ktinux: ok, try ~/.gconf [17:10] rharik: you could divide the screen into four 'containers' in i3 lingo, and set the algorithm for each. you can also have as many workspaces as you want with different layouts. it's a little bit to learn to get the max out of it, but very powerful. [17:11] thats what I"m seeing very cool. I hate to say it but I'd kind of like a gui to lay it out. [17:11] I don't suppose you know of and i3 gui? [17:11] rharik: haven't seen one, but maybe on github. [17:12] I mean this is awesome, I'm going to use it on my regular monitors too, I'm always moving shit around after reboot, total pia [17:13] rharik: i switched from xfce to i3 on all my machines and have never looked back :) [17:13] ducasse: you just did! [17:13] OMGZ! [17:13] EriC^^: nope that didn't work either [17:14] rharik: i3... gui? [17:14] ktinux: ~/.config [17:14] time [17:14] ducasse, I'm a bit of a linux nubee is xfce the default window layout for linux? [17:14] EriC^^: what? [17:14] rharik: ubuntu uses unity by default. [17:15] reisio, yea yea, I know, but just so I can lay it out on a gui, I can see how things will fit togeather [17:15] ktinux: mv ~/.config ~/.config.old [17:15] oh a gui configurator? [17:15] EriC^^: when i moved ~/.gconf ~/.gconf.old and logged in it didn't create a new .gconf [17:15] reisio, yes [17:15] I would indeed be surprised if i3 enthusiasts had made such a thing [17:15] kind of at odds with i3 [17:15] * reisio shrugs [17:15] ducasse, so xfce is analgous to unity? [17:15] and does i3 replace unity? [17:16] rharik: xfce is more like unity than i3, i3 is quite different to both. [17:16] ktinux: maybe it only creates it when you actually log in [17:16] so is there a toolbar? === MobGod is now known as Mob === Mob is now known as MobGod [17:17] perhaps I'm on the wrong track. I do use gui apps, browser, ide, etc [17:17] EriC^^: well i did login and then it logged me back out and i opened a TTY and noticed one wasn't created. I was going rm it and move the old one back in place but it didn't even exist [17:17] rharik: you can still have 'regular' windows, i3 calls them 'floating'. there is a sort of toolbar, you can also use an external panel. [17:17] rharik: i3 is a window manager only, technically [17:18] rharik: whereas Unity and Xfce purposefully include, among other things: panels, launchers, tray items, GUI pref dialogs, session management, desktop management, file manager, etc. [17:19] yea, I like some of that stuff. does it all go awat if use i3? [17:19] rharik: yes. you need to set up your own. === littlebunnyfufu is now known as SonikkuAmerica [17:19] perhaps I should look for something that runs inside of unity? [17:20] rharik: i don't know if that exists, but gnome has a tiling extension. [17:21] rharik: it's called 'shellshape'. [17:22] hmmm, and does this affect lower level things like hypervisor? I use docker and xbox [17:23] rharik: you're running docker on an xbox? === Hell is now known as Sildegra [17:23] no [17:23] rharik: no. [17:23] but sometimes I need ot use a vm too [17:23] so gnome 3 looks like an entire os, is it a sibling to ubuntu? or to unity? [17:24] rharik: sibling to unity. probably easier to use if you are new to linux. gnome is a full desktop. [17:24] rharik unity is compiz layer for gnome3 [17:24] is a* [17:25] hmm, ok I can see I have more research to do. [17:26] so it seems there/s not going to be a simple way to cut a monitor into 4 ubuntu desktops [17:26] I'll have to give up some of what I'm used to [17:26] rharik: there are some videos that will show you what shellshape does, look at those. with gnome and that you will still get a pretty regular desktop like you're used to, i think. [17:28] ok cool well thanks again everyone. I maybe back for round 2 once I know what I'm talking about :) [17:29] rharik: no problem :) the best way to decide is probably to install things and try them. [17:30] EriC^^: do you think i should rm .Xauthority? [17:35] ktinux: did you try to rename ~/.config ? [17:35] EriC^^: no lol i am scared === zippy is now known as Guest70996 [17:36] EriC^^: i'll do it just to see if it fixes it.

[18:27] borkedit, with FAT32 you can't create files larger files than 4GB, FAT32 (LBA) is an extension for this fs which allows larger files [18:28] flp: sorry, then i don't know. i've had problems converting images myself. [18:29] borkedit, but both are ancient relicts for usage of ata drives [18:29] Amm0n: So if you choose fat32 you have the normal 4gb limit and if you choose fat32 (LBA) it allows larger files? Does this work on all platforms then or just Linux? [18:29] borkedit, all platforms [18:30] borkedit, but i'd recommend to use ntfs [18:30] FAT32 is an ancient relict for the usage of ata drives [18:30] Amm0n: thanks....also do you know a Live USB gui creator that works?

[19:28] ioria, Aye. Took a combination of the two kernel settings and that bios setting. [19:28] I need help debugging my audio. For whatever reason, vlc always starts with sound at 0% - this has the result, that whenever I start Kaffeine, there is no sound. Something (and I deeply suspect VLC) messes up audio control... [19:28] cheus, greate [19:29] cheus: Able now to install the graphics driver ? As leaving 'nomoeset' defeats Kernel Mode Setting - not something you want long term . [19:30] My main issue atm is that Kaffeine has no sound, no matter what controls I manipulate (system, kaffeine, vlc) [19:30] I'm sure I'll be ok once I get through OS installation. Nouveau won't survive long but this'll get me through installation and the first boot when I can replace it with the nvidia driver. [19:31] nouveau's better if you don't need specific 3d accel [19:31] nicofs: you might want to check (after reboot) if it's alsa that is being set to no volume "alsamixer" if it is, you could raise it's volume then run "sudo alsactl store" reboot and see if it's fixed. [19:31] cheus: Good plan :) [19:31] I'm fairly old-hat with most things just had 0-days of experience with UEFI [19:32] zykotick9, is there any alsa gui? I only have the tray icon... [19:32] cheus: Uefi, unfortunately has no standards to implement. each manufacturer does it different . [19:33] nicofs: the tray icon will be pulse probably. thus why running alsamixer for terminal is good in this case... [19:34] nicofs: note, it might not be alsa at all, it was only a guess/suggestion. [19:34] How can I fix my sound? I have an onboard sound card but it now only sees the Nvidia hdmi sound and puts that to my monitor speakers... [19:34] I want it on my headphones and from my onboard sound card.. [19:34] zykotick9, alsamixer in terminal is at 43%. As for sound: youtube and other things work. vlc does, as well if i turn it up after start. it's just kaffeine [19:35] nicofs: oh, so it sounds like it's not alsa (if that 43% was after a reboot)... if it's a kaffeine issue, i've got nothin'. best of luck. [19:37] Hi, i'm really at a loss here but i don't understand why ubuntu-fan is giving me so much greif. each time i ifup or ifdown my wifi interface, the operation fails and the system fails to register the state of the network device. is there something seriously buggy with the code? https://gist.github.com/tomdymond/240adbd0d06b6eac695097259733413c [19:38] run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/ubuntu-fan exited with return code 1 .

[20:22] igoryonya is that to make an actual full working install on a usb hard drive or to just create a usb pendrive tht is bootable with the installion media on it? [20:22] TGVoid: if it's got data you want on it, use ddrescue for both a quick and then subsequent intense copying [20:22] TGVoid: after that you can try cute things like putting the drive in the freezer for a while [20:23] TGVoid: and hitting it on its side, etc. :p [20:23] Ammon: I have used a few variations of the dd command...bs= whatever in different places latest was this: sudo dd bs=4m if=/home/toshibalaptop/Documents/subuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync [20:23] reisio: I can't take the actual drive out as I have to send my PC in to repair. Can you walk me through DDrescue? [20:24] this one said bs=4m is invalid number [20:24] iso is in /home/user/Documents [20:24] StNicolas, obda:8813, means, it's recognized, but it doesn't say anything about drivers, just, that it knows the unique identifier of your recognized hardware. I think, if you want to check, if driver is loaded, there is, probably, either/or both commands could be useful: lshw (when it shows 'clamed') and/or modprobe. [20:24] TGVoid: sure you can take it out [20:24] reisio: It's gonna void the warranty [20:25] I wanted to use a gui tool but none will work [20:25] hastiko, sure that it isn't a typo in ../subuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso shouldn't it be ubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso? [20:25] TGVoid: what computer is this? [20:25] so I followed tuttorials for DD [20:25] hastiko: probably wants a capital 'M' [20:25] ah yea typo....I spelled it right first time [20:25] ok will try that with capital M [20:25] reisio: An ASUS r556l laptop [20:26] hello all. I can only print documents through google chrome (as opposed to pdf viewer or firefox) [20:26] igoryonya Gonna try that. If that doesn't give good verbose, next step, I need to find drivers for it. Thx [20:26] TGVoid: what makes you think taking the hard disk out voids the warranty [20:27] reisio: ASUS said it would, and the last screw is under the warranty sticker [20:27] TGVoid: ddrescue -n /dev/foo foo01.ddrescue; ddrescue -d -r1 /dev/foo foo02.ddrescue [20:27] TGVoid: ah, idiots :p [20:28] yraceu, It's a hybrid: The full working install with your home directory and ability to install on a computer, as you would from DVD [20:28] Amm0n: "no such directory" even when I type the exact path...if I cd into the directory it does the same...the .iso is right there...I can see it [20:28] One more question. I have a couple distros on my desktop. One of them, on /sda7, during boot, says it fails to load kernel modules. What do I need to do to fix that? [20:28] reisio: I just bought this external drive an hour ago. Do I need to format it? [20:29] hi guys! [20:29] TGVoid: it's probably already formatted (as NTFS); formatting it again is up to you [20:29] thats not what im looking to do, i can just clone my usb drive and add a huge persistant area and get that i want a full working updatable version of 16.04 lts [20:29] hastiko, can you give us a paste of the filelocation and the dd command you used? [20:29] im trying to install and play a game for maNY YERS BUT i DINT KNOW WHAT iM DOING WRONG... [20:29] SO SAD THAT i CAN NOT DO IT(( [20:29] IT CALLS "KERNEL pAnic" [20:29] what game .. what did it run on [20:29] you seem to have hit your capslock key [20:30] yes [20:30] sorru [20:30] Hi! After converting my RAID-0 array (which is also the root device) to a RAID-10, GRUB broke. I've been trying for hours to fix it to no avail. The arrays were made by MDADM and the server is running 14.04 [20:30] 0000 [20:30] sorry [20:30] it doesn't "call" kernel panic -- kernel panic is the lowest level error message [20:30] Ammon: I found another typo...entered it properly...now I just have a cursor..is it working? [20:30] yes [20:30] USB light is flashing so I think its writing....but no progress % or indication in terminal [20:31] AmmOn, Do you know, what command generates the line: "System load:"? [20:31] Hi, I have attached my sd card, and gparted does not show it. Do you know how can I fix it? [20:31] Amm0n: Some dd tutorials had 'bs=1M' and most didnt have the '&& sync'...what is the proper way? [20:31] when using the command netdiscover why would my phone not connect to the same wifi network? [20:32] hastiko: bs is optional, but may speed things up if set correctly [20:32] hastiko: sync I don't think is relevant for dd operations, but it's a good idea for general copy procedures before umounting things [20:32] reisio: what is properly? [20:32] hastiko: that's open to interpretation :) [20:32] reisio: ddrescue -n /dev/foo foo01.ddrescue; ddrescue -d -r1 /dev/foo foo02.ddrescue What do I replace to specify partitions? [20:32] hastiko, to see a progress you can add status=progress to see a progress [20:32] StNicolas, I am do not have that deep knowledge about kernel, kernel modules, I just, pretty much understand in which direction to look at and read more documentation. When I gave you advice, I thought, that would point you in the right direction, but I don't know it in depth [20:32] I could not understand the instal instructions [20:32] hastiko: more than 0 should speed things up, equal to or more than total RAM will probably freeze i [20:33] Amm0n: add it where? to end of that command string after && sync? [20:33] help buddy I am not getting my usb on virtual box. i am runnig ubuntu 14.04 lts [20:33] TGVoid: 'foo' [20:33] hey there, can someone tell me how i modify my 'pythonpath'? [20:33] Ahh [20:33] does someone here familiar with this game? [20:33] TGVoid: /dev/sda would be the first device (disk), /dev/sda1 would be its first partition, etc. [20:33] reisio: I have 2gb ram and put bs=4M...is that 4mb? [20:33] reisio: How do I check the partitions available? [20:33] TGVoid: for something with i/o issues, you'll probably just want to hit /dev/sda (for example) directly (not partitions), but you can do them all if you want [20:33] How come my ubuntu 16.04 only prints through google chrome? when i try to install the printer, i have some problems, but chrome prints fine(but nothing else does) [20:33] hastiko: yes, at a time [20:34] hastiko: so it'll copy 4MB, then 4MB, then 4MB... etc. until it's done [20:34] TGVoid: sudo lsblk -f, if it's still reading them [20:34] Hi, I have attached my sd card, and gparted does not show it. Do you know how can I fix it? [20:34] resio: so is there a formula? like choose 10% of actual ram max for this number etc? I don't know what to put there [20:34] https://springrts.com/wiki/Kernel_Panic [20:35] How can I mount it in \dev/sdc? [20:35] hastiko: there are various formulae, I don't bother with them myself === Opus is now known as Guest82127 [20:35] hastiko: pick a number less than your ram, it'll probably work out [20:35] mojtaba: does your file manager show it? [20:35] reisio: no [20:35] reisio: but my ram is 2gb....so would bs=1G work? [20:36] hastiko: also if you type r-e-i-TABKEY, that might help you [20:36] hastiko, bs= depends on the size of the cache of the volume you can find it out with hdparm -I /dev/sdX [20:36] hastiko: probably [20:36] does anybody know, what command generates 'system load' value on the welcome message, when you login to console, or ssh? [20:36] usually a bs of 512 bytes is fine [20:36] igoryonya: probably in /etc/issue or /etc/motd or something [20:37] help buddy I am not getting my usb on virtual box. i am runnig ubuntu 14.04 lts [20:37] reisio: Is everything after the semicolon the external drive and before the broken drive? Are those separate commands? [20:37] lk: you install the extension pack? [20:37] resio: that command says "unknown" for cache/buffer size....how do you learn all this are you a sysadmin? [20:37] no [20:37] reisio: Do you know what should I do? [20:37] reisio: no [20:37] TGVoid: they're separate commands, yes; the first is a quick pass, the second is more intensive [20:38] Is the 'restricted/binary-amd64/Packages' repo broken? [20:38] TGVoid: triage, basically [20:38] hastiko: r-e-i-[TABKEY] [20:38] reisio: my file manager does not show my SD card [20:38] hastiko: man dd [20:38] man hdparm [20:38] Ammon: that command returned "unknown"....but for future reference I should make the bs= less than the USB's cache size right? [20:38] mojtaba: sure this card works? [20:38] I'm getting errors for both India and US. Anyone? [20:38] reisio: It was working before. [20:38] with the default sources.list on 14.04 [20:39] reisio: So, yes. [20:39] all things that no longer work... worked "before" [20:39] reisio: ddrescue -n /dev/sda sdc.ddrescue Would that be what I use? SDA is the broken and SDC is my external [20:39] reisio: r-e-i- tab does nothing [20:39] hastiko, you can use a larger bs but it doesn't make sense if the cache of the volume is not large enough [20:39] TGVoid: the second parameter is the file you're saving to [20:39] hastiko: for IRC [20:39] failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/Release Unable to find expected entry 'restricted/binary-amd64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) [20:39] anyone on this? [20:40] Amm0n: so is there a bs= number you recommend as a standard then? 4M is in a lot of the tutorials === Queenslayer is now known as Guest42123 [20:40] reisio: So sdc.ddrescue is the file when it's done? [20:40] TGVoid: how do you make sure that the sd card is on sdc? [20:40] reisio: DOH! [20:40] reisio, issue shows only distribution name/version and I have not motd in /etc/ [20:40] TGVoid: so if sdc is mounted to /mnt/sdc, you could do ddrescue -n /dev/sda /mnt/sdc/sda-pass1.ddrescue === arrow_ is now known as dfd [20:40] TGVoid: right, 2nd is file/destination === dfd is now known as Queenslayer [20:40] hello [20:41] 'lo === DrBrownBear is now known as Guest58689 [20:41] hastiko, as i said, it depends on the cache size of the volume, ususally 512bytes are working fine [20:41] can you partition the USB and put ultiple live USBs on it with dd? === Chunk2 is now known as Bajax [20:41] sudhackar: Show in a pastebin ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ; tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' . See if we can find that malformed line . [20:41] hastiko: not with dd alone, but utilizing dd, sure [20:42] ok...gonna go see if this worked...thanks guys [20:42] although I wouldn't do it using dd [20:42] nor would I do it at all, however [20:42] sudhackar, you want something like .../trusty main multiverse restricted universe [20:42] how many distros do you need? [20:42] I submit: only one [20:42] reisio: It says it's not installed. I typed the install command, and it still said that it wasn't installed [20:42] How do you make a permanent alias? Every time I restart my pc it wont work when I reboot it. [20:43] Bashing-om, I actually renamed .list.d to some random directory so that apt-get just works on sources.list [20:43] TGVoid: what, ddrescue? [20:43] Does anyone know how can I make sure, if my sd card is represented by sdc or not? [20:43] TGVoid: might be under sbin (use sudo) [20:43] reisio: Yes [20:43] my file manager does not show the SD card [20:43] nor the gparted. [20:43] reisio: I did sudo apt install gddrescue === kolton is now known as tojoko [20:44] yraceu, the last time, I did, was on Ubuntu 14.04 [20:44] mojtaba: fdisk et al. would show it as having the right capacity [20:44] dtech12: See ' cat .bashrc ' . Directions there for alternative places too . [20:44] dtech12, make a file and put it in .bash_aliases ....cat .bashrc ? [20:44] reisio: how to check virtual box extension? [20:45] yraceu, yes, it works the same, except, that you have max 4Gb for your home directory, and there is nothingng, you can do about it to make it bigger. Well, maybe, there is, but I don't know how. [20:45] TGVoid: dpkg -L gddrescue | grep bin [20:45] lk: dpkg -l | grep -i 'virtualbox-ext-pack' [20:46] reisio: command shows nothing ....how to install it [20:46] reisio: "package 'gddescue' is not installed"\ [20:46] reisio: fdisk /dev/sdc, there is no such file. [20:47] reisio: So, if my sd card is broken, is there any way to fix it? [20:47] using ddrescue? [20:47] mojtaba, unplug the sd and then plug it back in. right away type dmesg in a terminal. at the very ending of the listings should be information about your sd card (if the computer is recognizing it) [20:47] mojtaba, did the sdcard work in that adapter before? [20:48] OerHeks: yes [20:48] squinty: ok, thanks === newbie|3 is now known as StNicolas [20:51] I'm running an ubuntu 14.04 server, the motherboard has an dual Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721, and I'm having an extremely high number of RX errors. Uploading large files to the server, regardless of method (SMB, HTTP, or SCP) is extremely slow, but downloads are more or less normal. I've tried both ports, replacing the cable and switch, but the errors remain. It seems like it may be something misconf [20:51] igured in my software, but I can't be sure.

I have a Wifi thing with obda:8813 id. It doesn't work ... yet... but can someone help me find the appropriate drivers for it?

[21:30] made live usb for 14.04...boots and gives me log in screen. Google says log in is 'xubuntu' and no password. That flashes the log in screen and resets it. MD5 sum is good. Ideas? [21:30] StNicolas, does lsmod | grep ath give you any output? [21:30] pier, firmware-b43-installer and b43-fwcutter for the 4318 [21:30] Cannot find any solution with searching...few people asking same but no resolution [21:30] reisio: I'm doing this: "sudo ddrescue -n /dev/sda /media/ubuntu/Seagate Expansion Drive/sda-pass1.ddrescue" and it outputs with "too many files" [21:31] TGVoid: because your space is interpreted as another parameter [21:32] pier, so try sudo apt install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer copy/paste into a terminal [21:32] squinty i have those installed, still doesnt work [21:32] TGVoid: always use TAB completion with paths, it'll ensure they (1) actually exist and (2) are correct [21:32] i already have [21:32] and lspci shows the right module [21:32] Amm0n: Why look at ath when the thing I'm trying to get to work is a Realtek thing? Btw, both wifi dongles are in the desktop, otherwise, I wouldn't be connected to the chat room [21:32] also i edited /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to not blacklist 4318 [21:33] im kinda stuck now haha [21:33] Amm0n: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/16783783/ [21:34] I use Carbon Copy Cloner on Mac to create a boot-able mirror of my system drive on another drive. It does so without having to restart from a utility disc. I also use it to set up and remember weekly backups of various data. Is there a GUI utility for Ubuntu which will perform the same tasks? [21:34] does anybody know, what command generates 'system load' value on the welcome message, when you login to console, or ssh? [21:35] pier, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessPCMCIATroubleshooting?action=show&redirect=WifiDocs%2FWiFiTroubleshooting [21:36] there is a wiki about systemload, 1 + 5 + 15 minute average [21:36] StNicolas, Ah sry i didn't get you're using 2 wifi dongles.. Then it seems the driver didn't made it in the kernel yet.. [21:37] OerHeks, can you give wiki's address? [21:37] let's say later i want to install something big, like steam games. can i install them on the hdd storage drive and not the ssd / drive? [21:37] hastiko, maybe it's a graphics problem.. try to boot with nomodeset [21:37] Amm0n: You mean that my obda:8813 Realtek hasn't yet a driver for the kernel? Is there a way to fix it? Add a module for the Realtek thing? [21:37] what is nomodset?

Now, I've installed Ubuntu server 16.04, and, when tried to install git, right after the OS installation, it said, that git is already the newest version. So, I am not sure now, is git installed by default, since 16.04, or is it because it was required by (I checked also, during the install: OpenVPN, OpenSSH, Samba, VirtualHost) by some of the ad [21:50] !ask | etranger [21:50] etranger: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

I repartitioned the drive, but during the install, I've also selected OpenVPN, OpenSSH, Samba, VirtualHost, which, I also selected in 15.10 server installation, when there was no git by default. [22:06] Does anybody know, where I can look @ the list of packages, installed by default?, cause, I can't find it on official ubuntu's site. [22:06] maybe, I don't know, where to look @ [22:07] igoryonya, you could use "apt-cache rdepends git" to see what package wants it [22:07] Hydr0p0nX: udf is the encryption isn't it? the type of DVD? by default Ubuntu cannot for legal reasons play commerical propritary digital rights mangement DVD's, but there are ways to get playing [22:08] I installed ubuntu now on first boot it says taco bell domain login?

[22:13] I just get a flashing error window saying "ubuntu 16.04 has experienced an internal error" [22:13] sebThreeM10white: I have a 6th gen i5, and a gtx970 [22:13] igoryonya: actually, it was added to the default install https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1394756 [22:13] Launchpad bug 1394756 in Ubuntu "Please add git to Ubuntu Server" [Wishlist,Fix released] [22:14] I have now completely lost ethernet on my 14.04 server. I used ethtool to try and change the duplex settings for my port that was having tons of RX errors. I tried 100mbps half duplex first, and since it was a vast improvement, I tried 1000/half, and now ethernet no longer works at all. [22:14] sebThreeM10white: along with either 8 or 16g ddr4 ram [22:14] me0wmix: ok so I quite new proccesser I gues that means, and whats the make of f the graphics card? [22:14] tgm4883, :), thanx [22:14] If I try to use ethtool to change the settings back, still nothing. No DHCP, can't ping a known IP with a manual address. [22:15] What does ethtooll actually do to my system? Could something have gotten corrupted in some settings file I can clear out and start again with? [22:15] me0wmix: I don't really get it. Were you able to install Ubuntu 16.04 and cannot start it now, or is the live USb not starting? [22:15] sebThreeM10white: my graphics card is an NVidia GTX970, from EVGA [22:15] Meow-J: so also a quite new card? how new is the computer? [22:15] Also, I have two ethernet ports. Neither are working now [22:15] minimec: I am attempting to boot from a liveusb [22:15] They detect link fine, seem to autoneg [22:15] yes sent to the wrong perosn I know tablets hmm [22:16] sebThreeM10white: computer is under 3 months old [22:16] very new [22:17] me0wmix: Ok. I see. My guess is, that the GTX970 is the problem. Let me have a quick search on google. [22:17] me0wmix: maybe to new in a way, or to new without a bit of hackking to get something working [22:17] me0wmix: however as mimimec put its probbly to do with the graphics card [22:18] I wish to use this system to run steam games, if the graphics card is the issue that is a concern [22:18] me0wmix: Try the following... "You should boot the livecd with the "nomodeset" - when you first see the splash screen (purple with white keyboard and human symbols bottom centre) press F1 to get the advanced welcom screen.

ISO format dvd's and bluray disks automount as expected, just not udf dvds. the dvd is retail purchased movie, not something that was burned, dmesg shows it being mounted by udf-fs but it never actually mounts [22:22] Hi world... I've got three or four ubuntu machines on my lan at this point, looking to setup a way to mirror/cache downloads so that I don't download them from the interwebs on multiple computers. [22:22] me0wmix: mix indeeddyoull need a proprirtary driver for your card for gaming etc, the one by default won't be good enough and may not have much support for your card in fact hence your issue [22:22] minimec: I don't think it is capable of reaching the welcome screen [22:22] Looks like apt-mirror mirrors the entire repo, which is a bit excessive for my needs, is there another option? [22:23] mimimec he could install the propritary driver by default before instal or on install? there is some way isn't there? I mean not just for the live session but straight into the install? [22:24] hi . how can install amd driver on ubuntu mate 16.04? [22:25] me0wmix: ?? Do you see that splash screen (purple with white keyboard and human symbols bottom centre) right after the BIOS/UEFI boot screen? [22:25] I start the boot, and once the initial loader finishes I see an orange splash background, and then 2 error windows that start alternating flashing [22:26] minimec: I do not think my boot is reaching that point [22:26] on a 10.04 or a 16.04 i have this error : undefined symbol: gtk_type_check_object_cast [22:26] me0wmix: How did you create that live USB stick?. WIth 'dd'? That screen should be the first thing you see right after the BIOS/UEFI boot screen [22:28] minimec: maybe I am misunderstanding, right after the uefi boot I see a purple splash screen with a white ubuntu logo along with a loading indicator. Pressing F1 during this shows a terminal with a bunch of installation tasks happening [22:30] hydrogen: all the same version of ubuntu? Use squid-deb-proxy [22:30] minimec: pressing F6 when viewing the terminal only seems to speed up the black screen that happens before the crash [22:32] tgm4883: thanks, I'll look at it [22:33] also found apt-cacher-ng, is one better than the other? [22:33] hydrogen: not sure, I've not used either in awhile since I don't have the same version of ubuntu across my network [22:33] me0wmix: Give me one second...

I know that you're supposed to install it on /dev/sda but I want to have my computer boot into Windows if I turn it on, then if I want to go to Ubuntu, I go to the boot options in my BIOS and it's a boot device. [22:37] me0wmix: I thought I had a Ubuntu mate 16.04 live stick at hand, but what I got was the fedora24 boot screen... ;) Basically 'nomodeset' is a kernel option you can choose at boot. You should be able to set that option with the procedure described above. [22:38] arreol: do you have multiple hard drives? [22:38] No [22:38] arreol: You can have grub be the dafault boot loader and still boot windows by default [22:39] me0wmix: old thread, but I think it did not change... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1986975&p=11968680#post11968680 [22:39] can set a very short time out as well [22:39] since my last kernel update (i think) the volume, brightness etc. keys on my laptop only work in conjunction with "Fn" key. Before they worked on their own. Can I do anything to switch that back? [22:39] my other question is what did ubuntu do in 16.04 that ruined any and all local name resolution? [22:39] all of my *.locals are hitting the internet, /etc/hosts is ignored [22:39] It worked fine in 15.10 [22:40] me0wmix: add "nomodeset" without the "" signs [22:40] Where? [22:41] arreol: after install, you would set grub to boot windows by default [22:41] Okay. [22:41] So, install on /dev/sda? [22:42] arreol: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Configuring_GRUB_2 [22:42] arreol: yea it would need to be there [22:42] Okay, thank you. [22:44] so do you guys defragment your drives?? [22:44] effectnet: not anymore [22:44] I tried once, in a decade, and it said it wasn't fragmented at all [22:45] oh [22:45] it's not generally needed [22:45] lol wth is with gparted saying my 16 gb flash drive is like 60 gb :\ [22:45] there are specific circumstances where I would do it [22:45] so i am gonna make my 64g ssd / and i guess use the hdd for storage [22:45] hi there, is there a way to lock the screen with a keyboard shortcut key [22:46] sw0rdy: ctrl+alt+L [22:46] there's no mount points i wanna put on the hdd? [22:46] tgm4883, xubuntu [22:46] xfce [22:46] sw0rdy: map whatever you like to 'xscreensaver-command -lock' [22:46] thats not working for me tgm4883 even though if I recall correctly it used to work like a couple a months ago or something [22:46] reisio, where do I find that [22:46] atb: As of 16.04 ATI drivers are included in the kernel. There are no FGLRX drivers . See the 16.04 release notes for details . [22:47] effectnet: I wouldn't, I would just mount it as additional storage [22:47] k [22:47] I have a Lenovo Yoga3 Laptop/Tablet on Winodws (no special software/drivers) I had the auto rotate function working. Basically unless disabled by the button screen would rotate as I rotated the laptop when using it as a tablet. [22:47] reisio, oh [22:47] sw0rdy: Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts [22:47] Any solution under LInux ? [22:47] I mean Ubuntu [22:47] can i install a game or something big on the hdd if i want? [22:47] instead of using the ssd [22:47] minimec: I was able to get it to work by not booting in uefi mode. booting in non-uefi did not even require nomodeset to be on [22:48] like steam [22:48] effectnet: I wouldn't bother unless it was a super large game. Steam has some that are 50-60GB [22:48] me0wmix: Nice... [22:48] reisio, that entry doesn't exist should I just add it by clicking Add [22:48] terminal tells me xscreensaver isn't [22:48] installed [22:49] me0wmix: With that card the gamers suggest the 364 driver to game with. Maybe have to get the 364 driver from our trusted PPA . What release are you attempting to install ? [22:51] neredsenvy i read here, Unity 8 will be able to rotate, but that's not yet ready [22:51] sw0rdy: try xflock4 [22:51] KK [22:51] Bashing-om: 16.04 [22:51] Also Ubuntu does not have UI Scaling for each monitor ? [22:52] !info nvidia-364 [22:52] Package nvidia-364 does not exist in xenial [22:52] reisio, yes sir I just found that on askubuntu.com too.... thank you bro! [22:52] "light-lock" forked from gnome-screensaver forked from xscreensaver :p [22:52] I have my doubts :p [22:53] Is it possible to have UIScaling doubled on one screen but normal on external screen ? [22:53] me0wmix: K .. looks like ^^ will have to get the 364 version driver from PPA . once you are installed . [22:53] reisio, is that what xflock4 is [22:54] sebThreeM10white, tgm4883, ViceVersa, I thought, that they have zfs installed by default, because, in official release, it says, that zfs is supported out of the box now, because it's needed by lxd, which they push to the masses, but no, I actually had to instll it just now on ubuntu server 16.04. [22:54] neredsenvy there's also something called 'magick-rotation' [22:55] how can I verify a live USB? I have checked the md5 of the iso but was suggested to verify the USB but don't know how [22:56] sw0rdy: has no affiliation to Xfce, AFAIK [22:56] hastiko: 2 ways .. easiest is to boot thge live image to the boot menu and " [22:56] check disk for defects" . [22:56] sw0rdy: that is, xflock4 is apparently just a wrapper for whatever the locker is [22:57] Bashing-om: how do I do that? When I boot I choose device from HDD, CD and USB...then it starts to load wallpaper and "choose language and try or isntall" screen...I see no option to check it [23:00] hastiko: try: reboot and as soon as the firmware screen clears spam the escape key -> language scrren; escape key to accept the default -> boot options menu . [23:00] ok will try thanks [23:01] may i ask [23:01] i verified kali linux bu [23:01] t [23:01] when i load it.... it says not verified [23:01] difference?

[23:29] indeed zykotic9 , seems not to be there... it's running though! [23:29] Jordan_U, we will try that now [23:29] i'm afraid this is because it came bundled with Gitlab... [23:29] jordila: ahhh, you are using sudo for all this right? [23:30] i'm on root now... not needed [23:30] jordila: What version of ubuntu are you usng? [23:30] being root in ubuntu = FAIL... just sayin' [23:30] Jordan_U version 15 [23:31] jordila: 15.04 or 15.10?

[23:32] jordila: you can get it from "lsb_release -a" [23:32] jordila: lsb_release -r [23:32] sure [23:33] jordila: thank you... -rc even better ;) [23:33] sorry -rs [23:33] lsb_release -rs : uops.. shows 14.04 [23:33] I installed xubuntu-desktop, but didn't like it [23:34] Jordan_U: ^^ tab fail ;) [23:34] but now.. everytime I start up ubuntu it shows the boot animation for xubuntu and the login manager is xubuntu too [23:34] how do I revert back? [23:34] i love xubuntu -desktop [23:34] user2635 , i like xfce ... BTW Linus uses it [23:34] kubuntu is good too [23:34] ... [23:35] !plymouth | user2635 [23:35] user2635: Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [23:36] ? ^^ [23:36] thanks jordila [23:36] Jordan_U, [23:36] looks like there are 2 entries for ubuntu [23:37] ubuntu-logo and ubuntu-logo-scale-2 [23:37] which one is it? [23:38] Jordan_U, we can't find a boot to usb option in the bios. we'll have to do some searchiing [23:38] user2635 ubuntu-logo-scale-2 is 4 restore i think [23:39] is a plymoutch [23:39] hey everyone... any suggestions for Nautilus and dates, or go for another filemanager? [23:40] ok i will restart and report back [23:40] okey [23:40] good luck [23:43] how to install Ubuntu in vm [23:44] Does anyone use linux in a command line environment without a desktop installed? [23:44] ok that fixed it [23:45] but the login manager is still xubuntu-like [23:45] how do I restore that back to ubuntu style [23:45] NorbyDroid, I did, when I could not configure my wifi [23:45] There is a pleasing lack of distractions. [23:46] user2635, the logo dont restart to default mode? [23:46] (I installed Ubuntu server edition for my first distribution and did not have a compatible network card or CAT5 cable so did not have X server) [23:47] NorbyDroid: I do .. I run terminal . [23:48] I am lookin to have just the bare necessities installes. Command line, x11, package support, and networking. [23:48] >installed< [23:49] Gona try 15.04 net install because the 16.04 doesn't seem to work. [23:49] NorbyDroid, two of my servers at home don't have any windowing. terminal only [23:50] Jordan_U, boot from USB fails. it appears to hang and the fan starts. [23:50] NorbyDroid: Check out : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD . There is a steep learning curve, even to the experienced . Discovery of what you do not have . [23:50] Sweet waxhead. [23:51] Yes I have been there Bashing-om and so far it goes through the install and seems to work but once I reboot to use it I get a one line message then nothing else happens. [23:51] I tried the 16.04 install a few times and about to try an older version. [23:52] NorbyDroid: What did you expect ? You should boot to a terminal once installed . That is all you have, a booting kernel and a wired intenet access .. nothing else . [23:53] Whay don't I get a prompt though? [23:53] NorbyDroid: If you installed . you should boot to a prompt . [23:54] Exactly, but I don't get that far. JUst a linhe about /dev/dsa cleaned and file information [23:54] /dev/sda [23:55] NorbyDroid: That advisory is normal . but after that .. nothing ??? [23:55] It just sits there as if it had a bug in its circuits. The drive light might flash for a microsecond but nothin happens. [23:57] NorbyDroid: Checked the md5sums .. both on the .iso and on the copy ? [23:57] The install went fine, it is booting to the actual HD that stalls.
