| allen__ | Ubuntu Mate 16.04 installation hangs indefinitely at timezone area when I went to type a new location... it is supposed to deleting partitions and formatting new ones in the background so I don't want to just shut off power. But nothing is happening. What should I do?? | 00:28 |
| pilne | i'm guessing using the server(cli selection) iso and then installing fluxbox would be the "mostest minimalist" way of doing it? (also same for i3?) | 00:28 |

| Skaag | is there really no simple way to have both python 2.x and python 3.x coexisting in peace in ubuntu 14.04 via repo? | 00:35 |
| === JohnC is now known as compute | ||

| teward | Skaag: uh, what?> | 00:36 |
| teward | Skaag: I have both python 2 and python 3 installed in Trusty; they're different entities stored differently if you're installing from the repos? | 00:36 |
| k1l | Skaag: that sounds like you have some 3rd party packages mess? | 00:37 |
| k1l | Skaag: 14.04 ships 2.7 and 3 in different packages already. what is your exact issue? | 00:37 |

| Cyber_Akuma | If I install Ubuntu to a single drive, and then later add other drives to my system that have their own MBR, will Ubuntu overwrite that MBR if I update grub? | 01:00 |
| Skaag | well, when I installed 2.7 it was fine, and apt had no errors initially... I used the alternatives to make 3.4 the default, with 2.7 2nd | 01:02 |
| Skaag | trouble started when I tried to install pip for 2.x | 01:02 |
| pilne | anytime you do python development, you should probably setup a virtualenv | 01:02 |
| pilne | just little scripts for yourself it's generally ok to use the system python | 01:02 |
| dbz2k | does somebody know a script that will stop apps from taking all my cpu | 01:04 |
| Skaag | those are the packages I have installed, at the moment: https://gist.github.com/skaag/6dc2739819a26a406301caa2ce36dafb | 01:04 |
| Skaag | dbz2k: ionice -c3 {script} | 01:04 |
| dbz2k | when I my computer gets 100% percent cpu usage it freezes | 01:04 |
| Skaag | and this is my 'apt-get -f install' output: https://gist.github.com/skaag/3ce5b4c1f04ebfe580d75eccc157ccd0 | 01:06 |
| Skaag | I don't know how to get rid of that | 01:06 |
| dbz2k | Skaag, will cpulimit survive reboots? | 01:06 |
| pilne | windoze often went to 100% cpu for me randomly, linux only does it when i'm expecting it in my experiences | 01:07 |
| Arcaire | lol people saying 'windoze' in the year of our lord two thousand and one score minus four anno domini | 01:08 |
| pilne | hey, i fart dust... i think i'm grandfathered in, literally. | 01:10 |
| Skaag | oh man | 01:10 |
| Bashing-om | Cyber_Akuma: Separate drives have individual boot code . so no .. installing another drive will not effect the boot code on the 1st drive . | 01:12 |
| Skaag | ok found the issue... | 01:13 |
| Skaag | you can't make 3.4 the default python, with update-alternatives | 01:13 |
| Skaag | since apt relies heavily on it | 01:13 |
| Skaag | if you do that, all goes to hell | 01:13 |
| teward | Skaag: that's also in line with Python's policies for distributions shipping both | 01:13 |
| teward | that python2 should remain the default until otherwise stated | 01:14 |
| Skaag | so I made 2.7 the default, and suddenly apt works | 01:14 |
| teward | at least according to their docs on the latest versions | 01:14 |
| Cyber_Akuma | Bashing-om, Dosent' it by default install it's own MBR so that grub will load when you install Ubuntu though? | 01:14 |
| Skaag | wish I knew this before I wasted 5 minute of my life | 01:14 |
| Bashing-om | Cyber_Akuma: Well .. yes and no . In a default " erase disk and install ubuntu ' the default is to install the boot loader to the 1st hard drive . - one could remove that drive to preclude writting to it .. .. or set up the partitioning manually .. and in the maunaul method .. one can direct where the boot code is installed to . | 01:16 |

| Ghostly | Hello, anyone had experience with upgrading to windows 10 on a dual boot machine? | 01:29 |
| Ghostly | Thing is that i tried upgrading and now my grub is in rescue mode and for some odd reason i can't find my old ubuntu partition. | 01:31 |
| Lothenon | Ghostly: for repairing Grub try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 01:34 |
| Rexodus | Lothenon: partition is gone... | 01:35 |
| Lothenon | really? Then you have to install Ubuntu again. Hope you have a backup of your data | 01:36 |

| Ghostly | Lothenon, thanks for the link. | 01:37 |
| Lothenon | yw | 01:38 |
| compute | how do you arase the history comments? | 01:39 |
| teward | Ghostly: I wouldn't put it past Windows 10 to snarf up the entire disk; it is Windows after all. if the partition is gone though, you'll have to resize Windows 10 and reinstall Ubuntu | 01:39 |
| teward | compute: what "history comments"? | 01:39 |
| compute | press the up and down keyboard | 01:41 |
| teward | in what? Terminal? | 01:41 |
| teward | a third party program? | 01:41 |
| Ghostly | teward, i honestly kind of expected that, I was a bit silly thinking that it would leave my other os alone. Fortunately at least for now it has not eaten my unimportant ntsf partition with some junk on it XD | 01:41 |
| teward | compute: you need to give more specifics and details, like "what history, in what program" for example | 01:42 |
| teward | compute: there's at least fifty 'histories' on a system depending on the setups | 01:42 |
| teward | Ghostly: to be honest, Windows 10 can't recognize Linux partitions | 01:42 |
| teward | it could be a case that it read it as free space and autoexpanded. | 01:42 |
| Ghostly | makes sense. | 01:43 |
| teward | Ghostly: in any case, though, that explains the grub failures, it's looking for a nonexistent partition :/ | 01:43 |

| superguest | is there a way to load the livecd installer within the currentlu running livecd session? | 02:18 |
| teward | superguest: no. | 02:18 |
| teward | superguest: you have to boot to the 16.04 livecd to get to its installer. simply mounting it in the older livecd won't help you | 02:18 |

| Nickelback | the cube doesn't work | 02:55 |
| teward | tominator: clonezilla does a good job of cloning drives, but it doesn't do a good job of modifying the drive image to add partitions that didn't exist when the image was taken | 02:56 |

| stacks88 | running ubuntu 14.04 - my server4.mydomain.com , the bandwidth is maxed out. people are downloading directly off its apache. so its doing 1gbit/sec right now.. if i type ssh root@server4.mydomadin.com uptime (to try to run the uptime command without logging in), it just sits there.. stalling forever...... but if i take off 'uptime' and just ssh root@server4.mydomain.com it logs in right away. | 04:18 |
| stacks88 | does anyone know what this means ? it has to do with the bandwidth being maxed out for sure, but why can i log in normally but i cant run commands without logging into this said-box ?

| stacks88 | it just sits there. Simiarily, if i type *from within server4.mydomain.com* : ssh user@mysql.mydomain.com uptime - it doesnt go anywhere. but once i take off the uptime, it logs in.. i feel like theres got to be some setting in /proc or sysctl that i can change, tahts network related, socket related or connection related, to alleviate the situation ? | 04:18 |

| gvs77 | Hi, I just installed an Ubuntu 16.04 server, want to have it connect with openvpn to my network. On 14.04 I just put a conf file in /etc/openvpn and restarted the service, but that no longer works? | 10:07 |
| ikonia | it works fine | 10:08 |
| ikonia | if you put the right config file in the right place openvpn will pickup the config | 10:08 |
| gvs77 | ikonia | 10:08 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: I have a standard .ovpn file that I renamed to .conf | 10:08 |
| ikonia | thats a client file | 10:09 |
| gvs77 | That config file worked on 14.04 | 10:09 |
| ikonia | not a server file normally | 10:09 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: correct, the ubunut 16.04 is a client to my openvpn server | 10:09 |
| ikonia | then what service are you restarting ? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | as the client is "on demand" not a service | 10:09 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: I see two services with systemd, openvpn and openvpn@, google pointed me to the @ as the client service. | 10:10 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: According to google, I should be able to systemctl openvpn@configfile start | 10:10 |
| ikonia | systemctl is nothing to do with openvpn or systemd | 10:11 |
| ikonia | sorry - I worded that a mess | 10:12 |
| gvs77 | systemctl controls systemd, client vpns are also started as services | 10:12 |
| ikonia | I meant systemctl will start a service, the client is not a service, | 10:12 |
| gvs77 | :-) | 10:12 |
| ikonia | the client being launched as a service is just a wrapper for basically typing openvpn $1 | 10:12 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: Yes, they are started as services | 10:12 |
| ikonia | so that you don't need a controlling tty | 10:12 |
| gvs77 | indeed, but it will do that at boot | 10:12 |
| ikonia | no different than say using network manager | 10:12 |
| ikonia | yes, I can see the value to that | 10:13 |
| ikonia | however, would it not make sense to validate the config file first by trying to launch openvpn your.config | 10:13 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: I did and that works | 10:13 |
| ikonia | ok - so the actual config file works, thats a good start | 10:13 |
| ikonia | gvs77: so the next logical setp would be to verify the systemd unit file to see exactly what/how it's launching | 10:14 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: I just rebooted the VM and it started up the VPN | 10:18 |
| gvs77 | Just needed a reboo? | 10:18 |
| gvs77 | reboot | 10:18 |
| ikonia | gvs77: that seems odd that it would require a reboot | 10:21 |
| gvs77 | ikonia: yes... | 10:22 |
| gvs77 | But it works now, so I'm happy ;-) | 10:22 |

| Lope | how can I mount a ZFS volume? the new guide does not say: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Reference/ZFS | 10:43 |
| ducasse | Lope: they are automatically mounted, you set the 'mountpoint' property on the datasets to point where you want it mounted. | 10:52 |
| ducasse | Lope: you can also use 'zfs mount/umount' to do it manually. | 10:52 |
| Lope | okay, thanks | 10:53 |
| Lope | ducasse: I made a pool 'foo', then a fs in that pool. pool/0 | 10:53 |
| Lope | But for some reason zfs seems to be mounting the /foo and /foo/0 ? | 10:54 |
| Lope | So it seems like there's a root filesystem, then the sub filesystems are there just for the ability to set limits on them? | 10:54 |
| ducasse | Lope: as i said, you can set the 'mountpoint' property to be wherever you want. | 10:55 |
| Lope | yes, I'm asking why foo (the pool name) is mounted | 10:56 |
| Lope | I assumed that a pool is not a filesystem? | 10:56 |
| ducasse | Lope: a pool also contains a filesystem, but you can divide it up further into datasetz or zvols if you want/need. it's actually really nice. | 10:57 |

| BluesKaj | hellcook, run sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean to rid your / of old and unecessary data | 13:46 |
| hellcook | BluesKaj: thank you. I've often read it is not advised to mix apt and aptitude, and I usually use aptitude. Do you confirm? | 13:49 |
| BluesKaj | !aptitude | hellcook | 13:50 |
| ubottu | hellcook: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter multiarch problems on non-updated 12.04 installs, see http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 13:50 |
| BluesKaj | aptitude still works in most cases , but it is getting a bit old , hellcook | 13:51 |

| BluesKaj | nothing bad about it , just a small mistake | 13:52 |
| hellcook | BluesKaj: Can I use the apt commands you suggested although I always install packages with aptitude? | 13:58 |
| BluesKaj | hellcook, the common belief is that you either use one or the exclusively, once you start using apt don't go back to aptitude, mixing commands used to cuase peoblems between them , but I'm not sure about whether it does anymore. | 14:00 |
| BluesKaj | I just apt for all install, update/upgrade and remove etc commands | 14:01 |

| ptnecniv | Hello, I am trying to install ubuntu 14.04 on a laptop via USB. After booting from USB and selecting either "install ubuntu" or "try ubuntu without installing," it hangs on the boot splash indefinitely | 14:15 |
| ptnecniv | Any advice? | 14:15 |
| lyze | !patience | ptnecniv | 14:17 |
| ubottu | ptnecniv: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 14:17 |
| ptnecniv | hehe | 14:18 |
| ioria | ptnecniv, highlight 'try ubuntu' press Tab or 'e' or F6 edit the kernel line and remove 'quite splash', then F10 or enter | 14:18 |

| hellcook | ptnecniv: I'm having a quite similar problem right now. I don't have the page anymore, but what you describe reminds me of something I saw about an hour ago: you could have a machine configured to boot in uefi and somehow the livecd is booted in bios mode. | 14:19 |
| MacroMan | Was this ever an option on previous versions of g++? | 14:20 |

| === abhishek_ is now known as Guest39922 | ||
| zykotick9 | JackJones: yes | 14:24 |
| ioria | ptnecniv, removing quite splash just lets you boot in text mode | 14:24 |
| zykotick9 | JackJones: also using -i will remove CaSe as an issue | 14:24 |
| ptnecniv | ioria: right, which happened | 14:24 |
| ioria | ptnecniv, ok | 14:24 |
| ptnecniv | ioria: ok so i only removed the words quiet splash this time | 14:24 |
| ioria | ptnecniv, good | 14:25 |
| ptnecniv | (as i thought i did last time) | 14:25 |
| ptnecniv | should the line end with --? | 14:25 |

| ioria | ptnecniv, in addition of removing quite splash , add nomodeset | 14:29 |
| ptnecniv | ioria: what does that do? something with kernel modules i presume? | 14:30 |
| ioria | !nomodeset | ptnecniv | 14:30 |
| ubottu | ptnecniv: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 14:30 |

| xafarderr | Hi, what kind of risks I am exposed to running an EOL Ubuntu distro? | 14:54 |
| somsip | xafarderr: all of them that have been discovered since EOL date | 14:54 |
| k1l_ | xafarderr: a lot. see ubuntu.com/usn | 14:54 |
| xafarderr | but there are no virus in Linux practically | 14:54 |

| explosive | tominator: add a custom menu, don't know about adding an image | 14:55 |
| explosive | /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 14:55 |
| tominator | How do I add a custom menu? :P | 14:55 |
| explosive | search google for ubuntu grub iso booting | 14:55 |
| k1l_ | xafarderr: not virus like on windows. but programs with known security issues that get no updates on EOL ubuntus. which is basically the same since it will make others use your system. | 14:55 |
| explosive | add that in 40_custom and update-grub | 14:55 |
| tominator | Alright, I'll do that | 14:56 |
| tominator | explosive: Thank you | 14:56 |

| xafarderr | thanks kil_ | 14:56 |
| xafarderr | k1l_, thanks but I don't see the problems | 14:56 |
| k1l_ | xafarderr: that is a huge problem. | 14:57 |
| de-facto | xafarderr all discovered security problems remain unpatched if you use EOL ubuntu, even when they got published, so such systems may contain known exploitable security flaws. | 14:57 |

| xafarderr | but I was very confortable with ubuntu 12.04 classic gnome | 14:59 |
| xafarderr | everything was well configured and organized | 14:59 |

| __Myst__ | I'm on version 14.04 LTS, and I would like to upgrade to 16.04 LTS | 16:15 |
| __Myst__ | Most websites I find mention either running `sudo do-release-upgrade` or `sudo update-manager` | 16:16 |
| __Myst__ | What should I actually do if I just want a direct upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04? | 16:16 |
| __Myst__ | I'd like if somebody could tell me if I would need to change any config files/etc, too, after upgrading. | 16:16 |
| __Myst__ | Thank you in advance | 16:16 |
| BluesKaj | mybit, update and upgrade your packages first , then run sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:16 |
| MonkeyDust | !ltsupgrade | __Myst__ | 16:17 |
| ubottu | __Myst__: Users of 14.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 16.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for July 21st. | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, ^ | 16:17 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: By mybit do you actually mean __Myst__? | 16:17 |
| __Myst__ | MonkeyDust: So, should I wait for July 21st to upgrade? | 16:17 |
| BluesKaj | some users don't want to wait til july | 16:17 |

| MonkeyDust | Matumaros install gnome-shell, logout, switch, login | 16:19 |

| __Myst__ | Aren't we in July right now? | 16:19 |
| BluesKaj | no it's june | 16:20 |
| Matumaros | MonkeyDust: I wasn't able to get Ubuntu GNOME to work, so my idea was to install Ubuntu first and then GNOME | 16:20 |
| __Myst__ | Is there a "changelog" for 16.04.1? | 16:20 |
| __Myst__ | As in, so I can see if I want to wait | 16:21 |

| BluesKaj | jake__, you're welcome , glad it works :-) | 16:45 |
| Matumaros | BluesKaj: I didn't try that yet, I'm looking for a replacement for my laptop right now | 16:45 |
| BluesKaj | Matumaros, all new lapyops have the uefi/bios system , even the pcs with linux preinstalled do. | 16:47 |
| Matumaros | BluesKaj: Yeah, I don't mind, as long as it works. Also, I'm not necessarily looking for one that has Linux pre-installed, just one on which it works | 16:48 |

| BluesKaj | __Myst__, no, unless you call windows 8.1 with bloatware | 16:57 |
| __Myst__ | MonkeyDust: reddit frontpage that one time :p | 16:57 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: I would :)p | 16:57 |
| BluesKaj | well , __Myst__ I removed windows 8.1 and installed Kubuntu within an hr of receiving the laptop | 16:59 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: not quick enough, send whoever mailed you the laptop a usb stick with kubuntu beforehand so you get it with kubuntu right away | 16:59 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, I prefer to do my own OS installations | 17:00 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: Ubuntu is actually my first linux, I chose it for its ease of use | 17:00 |
| __Myst__ | I plan on switching to Arch once I get a new computer | 17:00 |
| DJones | __Myst__: Yes hey did to their defaut oem installs, so doesn't affect anything apart from default widows installs | 17:01 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, there's nothing special about arch except the hype | 17:01 |

| lxleuser | hello any way of reaching preferences menu with command line? | 17:03 |
| lxleuser | i have lxle | 17:03 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, all I learned was that cli text installs are over rated , the end result was anti-climactic , it's a pretty ordinary linux OS IMO | 17:03 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: I also want the cutting edge, I am amazed by how old some of the packages on Ubuntu 14.04 are | 17:04 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, that's what LTS means stable and it works ..I liked 14,04 a lot | 17:05 |
| lxleuser | tried to install greek and most of menu features are missing | 17:05 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: that's why I'm switching away from LTS | 17:06 |
| Jakey3 | im getting massive black flickering on my ubuntu 16.04 anyway to fix this | 17:06 |
| MonkeyDust | lxleuser lxle is not suported here, iirc | 17:06 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: also “cutting edge” is latest stable afaik | 17:06 |
| BluesKaj | __Myst__, what makes you think cutting edge is used in arch ? | 17:07 |
| __Myst__ | BluesKaj: isn't it? | 17:08 |
| __Myst__ | MonkeyDust: What about Lubuntu then? | 17:09 |
| MonkeyDust | __Myst__ lubuntu is supported | 17:09 |
| __Myst__ | MonkeyDust: Yes, but afaik Lubuntu uses lxle? | 17:09 |

| wcs | Quick question: what funcionality is netfilter-persistent suppose to provide? It just looks like it's a framework that doesn't actually do anything out of the box | 17:25 |
| MonkeyDust | wcs how is that ubuntu related? | 17:26 |
| nacc | wcs: that pacakge? it seems to just add the ability for netfilter configuration to be loaded at boot-time | 17:26 |
| nacc | wcs: hence "persistence" | 17:27 |
| ejb | MonkeyDust: that looks like the ticket. Thanks | 17:27 |
| wcs | it looks like it suggest iptables-persistent | 17:29 |
| wcs | but for some reason aptitude didn't install the suggested | 17:29 |
| ioria | !info iptables-persistent | 17:29 |
| ubottu | iptables-persistent (source: iptables-persistent): boot-time loader for netfilter rules, iptables plugin. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.4 (xenial), package size 6 kB, installed size 42 kB | 17:29 |
| wcs | if you install netfilter-persistent without iptables-persistent the netfilter-persistent doesn't actually do anything... | 17:30 |
| wcs | and it doesn't report that no plugins are run. | 17:30 |
| ioria | !info netfilter-persistent | 17:31 |
| ubottu | netfilter-persistent (source: iptables-persistent): boot-time loader for netfilter configuration. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.4 (xenial), package size 6 kB, installed size 36 kB | 17:31 |
| wcs | In fact it actually reports to stdout "saving netfilter rules" | 17:31 |
| wcs | even though it didn't run anyplugins | 17:31 |
| ioria | wcs are you on trusty ? | 17:34 |
| curlyears | gratings and salivations | 17:34 |
| MonkeyDust | wcs what's the output of cat /etc/issue | 17:34 |
| wcs | it's 16.04 | 17:35 |
| ioria | wcs http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/iptables-persistent netfilter it's a dep of iptables-pers | 17:39 |
| wcs | correct, but netfilter-persistent just suggest iptables-persistent, but when run without it. It reports the action was sucessful even though no action was taken | 17:40 |
| ioria | oh, i see | 17:40 |
| MonkeyDust | wcs maybe you can report that as a !bug | 17:40 |

| elavee | hey guys where are my installed binaries? | 17:45 |
| elavee | i can't find them anywhere | 17:45 |
| pvsharov | elavee: which | 17:45 |
| elavee | opt bianries | 17:45 |
| MonkeyDust | elavee basically in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin/ | 17:46 |
| elavee | so is there any order to this? | 17:47 |
| elavee | or do 3rd party apps just place themselves wherever they want? | 17:47 |
| MonkeyDust | elavee start from the beginning, what are you doing and what goes wrong, what brings you here | 17:47 |
| loa | hello! what i need to run after updating /etc/default/grub ? update-grub or update-grub2 ? | 17:47 |
| elavee | i just want to know, where are my /opt/ binaries? | 17:48 |
| elavee | applications installed from 3rd parties | 17:48 |
| elavee | either ubuntu store | 17:48 |
| elavee | or from various places on the internet | 17:48 |
| elavee | they aren't in /usr/bin | 17:48 |
| genii | look in /opt/bin | 17:48 |
| MonkeyDust | elavee and not supported here, if it's not in the ubuntu repos | 17:48 |
| akik | elavee: there are no /opt binaries unless you place them there | 17:48 |
| elavee | okay so | 17:49 |
| elavee | /opt/ is empty | 17:49 |
| elavee | there is no /usr/opt | 17:50 |
| akik | elavee: you're not making much sense | 17:50 |
| elavee | /usr/sbin & /usr/bin also empty | 17:50 |
| curlyears | no, but there is a /usr/bin | 17:50 |
| elavee | so im just wondering here what is the default location for ubuntu binaries?? | 17:50 |
| elavee | or is it that apps just go wherever they want? | 17:50 |
| elavee | like is there any organization to this? or does it just vary? | 17:51 |
| akik | elavee: if your /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are empty, your installation is broken | 17:51 |
| curlyears | elavee: it depends on what portion of ubuntu the app supports/is based on. | 17:51 |
| elavee | akik they don't have binaries in them, they aren't empty | 17:51 |
| MonkeyDust | elavee what's the output of which firefox | 17:51 |
| akik | i have to say i'm baffled | 17:52 |
| elavee | this doesn't make any sense to me | 17:52 |
| MonkeyDust | elavee to us it doesnt either | 17:52 |
| elavee | /usr/bin/ looks like a dump | 17:53 |
| elavee | nothing is organized | 17:53 |
| elavee | it has dev dependencies i've isntalled via apt-get | 17:53 |
| elavee | and then lots of symlinks | 17:54 |
| genii | !fhs | elavee Ubuntu adheres to this standard | 17:54 |

| MonkeyDust | elavee https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview | 17:54 |
| akik | elavee: /usr/bin and /usr/sbin are the directories that hold most of the binaries | 17:54 |
| nacc | elavee: to be clear, pvsharov was saying (imo) to use `which` to find where a binary is | 17:56 |
| nacc | elavee: as was MonkeyDust | 17:56 |
| elavee | nacc yah i understand | 17:56 |
| elavee | im just going to read what ubottu linked me so i can learn more about how ubuntu does this | 17:56 |

| yeats | elavee: what's your concern about that? | 18:06 |
| elavee | i can see that eventually i bet cleaning up the trash left behind from various apps is probably a huge pita | 18:06 |
| elavee | unless you guys have some sort of method you use | 18:07 |
| elavee | yeats it's not maintainable | 18:07 |

| MonkeyDust | elavee yes, you can clean that with apt clean, apt autoremove and others | 18:10 |
| cscf | elavee, APT leaves config files behind by default, unless you say "purge" so as to prevent destroying user data. Other than that, removing a package removes it. | 18:11 |
| cscf | BluesKaj, you mean connecting to a phone's hotspot? | 18:11 |
| BluesKaj | cscf, no just to trasnsfer files back and forth liker kdeconnect does | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | cscf, I'm just curious is all | 18:12 |

| elavee | okay thanks guys | 18:13 |

| jake__ | Hi - I am trying to install a Netgear A6200 wi-fi card Windows 10 driver on Ubuntu 14.04 desktop. The .inf seems to have installed with ndiswrapper and ndisgtk shows the hardware as "present" but ifconfig only shows wlan0, the other built-in wifi card. Can someone help me attach the A6200 driver to Ubuntu? | 18:51 |
| whlai | why does xrandr return "can't open display?" | 18:51 |
| whlai | akik, do you know how I can fix? | 18:51 |
| akik | whlai: what do you want to accomplish? | 18:51 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: Install screen on their system then have *them* open a gnome-terminal window and run "screen". Then you run "screen -x" or possibly "screen -xd" (the latter of which will diaconnect their terminal from screen). | 18:51 |

| whlai | Jordan_U, install "screen"? | 18:52 |
| jake__ | Gallomania: Check out ndiswrapper | 18:52 |

| nissin_ | monkey dust | 18:53 |
| nissin_ | I have a menu here in front of me | 18:53 |
| jake__ | Jordan_U: Okay, how else can I install the wi-fi adapter with only windows drivers? | 18:53 |
| nissin_ | what do i do now... | 18:53 |
| whlai | Jordan_U: Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/2' - please check. | 18:53 |
| MonkeyDust | nissin_ disbale the service you don't want | 18:53 |
| whlai | that's what "screen" returns | 18:53 |
| nissin_ | MonkeyDust , this is all well but what if i want to use bluetooth one day? | 18:54 |
| MonkeyDust | nissin_ turn it back on | 18:54 |
| nissin_ | using sudo sysv-rc-conf ? | 18:54 |
| nissin_ | or can i do in through the GUI | 18:54 |
| MonkeyDust | nissin_ yes | 18:54 |
| nissin_ | cant i use the GUI ? | 18:54 |
| Jordan_U | jake__: I usually have to repeat this many times to users who have found ndiswrapper, this is the last time I will for you today. If there are no native drivers then you have to buy a new card. Do not use ndiswrapper; it will only end in fruatration and a further broken system. | 18:55 |
| pascal | hi, here is my screenshot of gnome http://imgur.com/tghulr6 | 18:55 |
| nissin_ | MonkeyDust thank you but i hope this wont come back to bite me | 18:56 |
| Jordan_U | jake__: That said, there may in fact be native drivers available for your card. | 18:56 |
| akik | whlai: so you made a dd image of your installation and copied it to anohter disk, then sent the new disk somewhere to be installed into another machine? | 18:56 |
| whlai | akik, yes | 18:57 |
| jake__ | Jordan_U: Okay, I am considering getting a new card -- it wouldn't be super expensive -- but I just wanted to see if there's a way to use the card that I have. Native drivers would be nice, so I wouldn't have to use ndiswrapper. | 18:57 |
| akik | whlai: is the another machine same model than yours? | 18:57 |
| whlai | Jordan_U: screen, as user, returned "Screen version 4.03.01 (GNU) 28-Jun-15" | 18:57 |
| whlai | akik, no | 18:57 |
| Jordan_U | !screen | whlai | 18:58 |
| ubottu | whlai: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 18:58 |
| whlai | Hordan_U: ? | 18:58 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: Great, then it worked. Do exactly as I specified or read more about what screen is. | 18:58 |
| whlai | Jordan, which user should I be? | 18:59 |
| whlai | any ssh user? | 18:59 |
| whlai | because I currently get: There is no screen to be attached. | 19:00 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: The same user as they are graphically logged in as. | 19:00 |
| whlai | but when I just run "screen" as ssh user, I get the right return | 19:00 |
| whlai | doesn't work when I su to that username (user logged in) | 19:01 |
| jake2 | Jordan_U: Hi this is jake/jake2. Can you provide any pointers to finding a native driver for the Netgear A6200 wi-fi adapter? | 19:01 |
| whlai | also, that person is an ldap user | 19:01 |
| siddharth | #python | 19:02 |
| === siddharth is now known as Guest540 | ||
| whlai | Jordan_U: when I am ssh as admin (not the user) with -X, I can get a return (same as them) when executing "screen" | 19:03 |
| whlai | whensu as them and running again, I get /var/run/screen/S-mwilloughby/4982.pts-19.16: No such file or directory | 19:03 |
| whlai | su* | 19:03 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: Do not run "screen" yourself. | 19:03 |
| snfgf | How do I install a .deb? | 19:03 |
| snfgf | O.O | 19:04 |
| whlai | what should I do, then? | 19:04 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: I need to go. If you had followed my exact instructions you would be sharing a shell with them, and be able to run xrandr usefully (affecting their Xorg). | 19:05 |
| whlai | ok | 19:05 |
| whlai | thanks | 19:05 |
| Jordan_U | whlai: So now I recommend researching what screen is and how to use it, and make sure that they initiate the screen session from a gnome-terminal window. If you initiate it then you won't be able to usefully run xrandr. | 19:06 |

I have had all 3 working, but during a recent upgrade to nvidia-364 things broke, and after rolling back, I can only get output on the 2 external monitors - even if I boot without them connected! | 19:30 |

| OerHeks | n1md4, oke, then it is a serious bug, thanks for testing | 19:34 |
| Ben64 | n1md4: try hitting "detect displays" in nvidia-settings after doing that | 19:34 |

| curlyears | just state your problem and ask your question, norbou | 19:43 |

| norbou | i have large tar backup on usb drive. I made a ext4 partition for extraction, but it is too small, so i need to extract first half and second half from /media/sdd1/homes.tar to sda1. Filenames contains non ascii chars. | 19:46 |
| Natillas | rename the partition to ntfs | 19:46 |
| reisio | ... | 19:47 |
| reisio | norbou: what now? | 19:47 |
| geoff_ | norbou: hrm i am not sure if you can specifically get "half" of it.. i think you will need to create a list of files you want manually | 19:48 |
| geoff_ | it might be easy depending on what the directory structure looks like | 19:48 |
| bprompt | norbou: if you know the ext4 partition is too small, why didn't you make it big enoug to hold the .tar contents in the first place? | 19:48 |
| n1md4 | Upgraded to nvidia-367 and still no laptop display in X | 19:48 |
| reisio | n1md4: how 'bout nouveau? | 19:48 |
| norbou | i dont have larger linux drive | 19:49 |
| n1md4 | reisio: tried that, it wouldn't boot lightdm | 19:49 |
| geoff_ | norbou: you can do things like `tar -xf homes.tar some/files/*` then later `tar -xf homes.tar some/other/files/*` | 19:49 |
| MonkeyDust | norbou so the problem is not tar, but space for your files? | 19:49 |

| norbou | a have large space on ntsf or smb network | 19:50 |
| bprompt | norbou: that can happen, yes, characters supported for a filesystem, may not be supported by another, yes, just because ext4 can use say utf-16 characters, doesn't mean fat32 or ntfs or ExtFS would | 19:50 |
| reisio | norbou: it's more likely that your mount is configured improperly, and the chars are actually fine | 19:51 |
| reisio | anyway | 19:51 |
| reisio | what's in this tar that you need? | 19:51 |
| norbou | i think it is good plan to extract some subfolders to ext4 and move it on ntfs and then do the rest. bu how please? | 19:52 |
| reisio | none of that makes sense :p | 19:53 |
| norbou | i tryed ARK and xarchiver, it doesnt extract nothing... | 19:53 |
| reisio | what's in the tar that you need right now? | 19:53 |
| bprompt | norbou: is a good plan, if you don't have any filenames character issues, besides, keep in mind that ntfs as well as fat32, won't keep permissions, so.... if you don't have any filenaming issues and permissions concern, that may work, yes | 19:53 |
| bprompt | norbou: if you do have those concerns though, then that doesn't work | 19:54 |
| bprompt | norbou: looks good on paper though | 19:54 |
| norbou | bpromt> great, i dont need to keep permissions | 19:55 |
| norbou | i have to try it from command line | 19:55 |
| bprompt | norbou: well, by your own sayings, you said you do have filename issues, so, your plan works if you're untarring to a ext3 or ext4 partition | 19:55 |
| bprompt | norbou: you could, just run an app like say Xarchiver and pick and choose which files you want untarred to where | 19:56 |

| Cablegunmaster | so how can I trace the whole route after the port forwarding :)? | 20:25 |
| brelod | Cablegunmaster: you can set ddns for it | 20:26 |

| Cablegunmaster | ddns? | 20:27 |
| geoff_ | norbou: yes but make sure you mount it read only! | 20:27 |

| kgee | I've moved to xenial LTS, and need a package that is not included. (it is "proposed" but not available). Is it wise to add the older trusty repository to get the older version I used to depend on? | 20:34 |
| reisio | moppy: should be, but it might be re-installed as a dep the same way it already was | 20:34 |
| MonkeyDust | kgee no, that's not wise ... what package? | 20:35 |
| kgee | MonkeyDust: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/libjitsi-jni | 20:35 |
| lapion | previous versions on ubuntu would run nouveau without a hitch.. | 20:38 |
| moppy | reisio: Yea you're right. It appears to be required for libpam-mount, and I can't remove libpam-mount. | 20:39 |
| reisio | I'm sure you can un-require it, it's just more work | 20:40 |
| reisio | it's not as simple as merely removing it and considering it gone forever | 20:40 |
| moppy | reisio: I just don't understand why it's *running* though. Ah well. | 20:40 |
| MonkeyDust | kgee yes, it's removed, but there's this ... https://jitsi.org/Main/Download#stableline | 20:41 |
| reisio | moppy: because using ecryptfs in various ways is supported by the installer | 20:41 |
| moppy | reisio: Still don't see why it needs to be _running_ if not used. I guess I need to first find out if it's the thing that's causing the poor disk performance, then find out why it's actually _running_ on already installed systems that arent using encryption | 20:43 |
| kgee | Thanks, MonkeyDust. I didnt catch that. I'll ahve a look | 20:43 |
| superguest_ | Where can I view network shares in 16.04? | 20:44 |
| superguest_ | smb shares | 20:45 |
| MonkeyDust | superguest_ in /run/user/1000/gvfs/ | 20:45 |
| moppy | superguest_: shares you are connected to, or shares you are hosting? | 20:46 |
| superguest_ | moppy shares I am connected to. | 20:47 |
| reisio | moppy: lots of things are preconfigured but not used | 20:47 |
| superguest_ | MonkeyDust in a gui please | 20:47 |
| reisio | your kernel is enormous | 20:47 |
| reisio | it's covering the majority of bases | 20:47 |
| reisio | again, you can get rid of it if you want, it's just gonna be work | 20:47 |
| MonkeyDust | superguest_ it's the same, open a file manager and navigate to /run/user/1000/gvfs/ | 20:47 |

| rleigh | Hi folks. I've been attempting to convert a 16.04 install to boot with ZFS using https://github.com/zfsonlinux/pkg-zfs/wiki/HOWTO-install-Ubuntu-16.04-to-a-Native-ZFS-Root-Filesystem for reference, as well as similar pages. | 20:52 |
| rleigh | I've got a pool and efi boot partition set up. But I can't for the life of me get GRUB to boot the system. | 20:52 |
| jake__ | this reminds me of aol | 20:52 |
| MonkeyDust | jake__ this is the ubuntu support channel, no social chat | 20:52 |
| rleigh | Question: Is it technically possible to boot to a ZFS root with UEFI (with /boot on the pool)? | 20:52 |
| rleigh | The advice on this point seems mixed. Ideally I'd like it so I can have a coherent snapshot of the whole system state, which I can send off for backup/archival. | 20:53 |
