[00:00] <LtL> madcatter: this is not a warez or file-sharing channel
[00:00] <Kimish> Lordcirth: ok the latest (EE) i can see says "AIGLX: reverting to software rendering"
[00:01] <lordcirth> Kimish, see, that's useful.  Now look at the one before that.  By the way, use '/' to search forwards and '?' to search backwards
[00:02] <KILLME1> I f***ed up pretty bad...I was using dd to write an iso to a usb (the iso was 3.6G) and acciddentaly overwrote my main partition which was dm-luks encrypted. It's still on, I'm currently looking at my xfce desktop but I can't do sh**. How do I either save my OS or export all my important stuff to another storage device??
[00:02] <sruli> i need a some help with a little bash script i have for iptables, the script inserts rules for iptables  V 4 & 6 so i execute 'for V in 4 6; do ip${V}tables' i have a function to remove the  '4' when it populates the rules for iptables v4 ip4tables() {iptables $@} however it doesnt seem to remove the '4' can anyone help me out here please?
[00:04] <sruli> KILLME1: is the machine frozen?
[00:04] <KILLME1> not entirely conky is still running and whisker-menu still works but can't access a file manager
[00:04] <KILLME1> or a terminal
[00:05] <sruli> KILLME1: can u view the files with ls in terminal?
[00:05] <lordcirth> Ctrl-Alt-F2, maybe?
[00:05] <lordcirth> ttys should be in RAM
[00:06] <lordcirth> you might be able to copy data using utilities that don't happen to be in the wrong 3.6GB or are cached
[00:06] <KILLME1> yeah Ctrl-Alt-F2 brings me to the login, I can type but will not login
[00:06] <lordcirth> great
[00:07] <lordcirth> This would be the "load backups" phase
[00:07] <lordcirth> Which I'm guessing you don't have
[00:07] <sruli> KILLME1: the first 5 workds u wrtoe sums it up... i feel ur pain, been there
[00:08] <KILLME1> you mean previous backups of the system? Yeah should have done that *facepalm
[00:08] <tgm4883> Sounds like it overwrote credentials, which since you can't open a terminal and it's an encrypted partition probably means game over
[00:09] <OerHeks> what bothers me, can one dd to an mounted encrypted partition/disk..
[00:09] <tgm4883> unless you have a backup of your luks headers, then maybe you could do something with that
[00:09] <lordcirth> OerHeks, dd works on files, some of which happen to be block devices.  Not part of it's mandate to look for mounts
[00:09] <sruli> is there a chance the luks headers have not been overwritten and still poss to back it up?
[00:10] <tgm4883> OerHeks: why not? dd is a pretty powerful tool, and it's reasons exactly like this why we have tools for making USB bootable stuff that isn't dd
[00:10] <Kimish> Lordcirth : (EE) screen0 deleted because of no matching config section " and before that "(EE) open /dev/fb0: no such file or directory"  what do u think is the problem ?????
[00:10] <KILLME1> well my boot partition was exactly 100MB and the iso was 3.6. I think it might have overwritten the headers but idk
[00:10] <tgm4883> sruli: not likely, but possibly worth a shot
[00:10] <lordcirth> sruli, seeing as he dd'd 3.6GB from the beginning, it's gone, assuming it's the first partition on the drive
[00:11] <lordcirth> KILLME1, and your / was right after /boot?  Yeah it's gone.
[00:11] <tgm4883> lordcirth: I was on the assumption he wrote to the disk, not the partition
[00:11] <tgm4883> but yea, gone either way
[00:11] <KILLME1> oh sorry yeah disk
[00:12] <KILLME1> I did sudo dd if=file.iso of=/dev/sda bs-1M
[00:12] <Kimish> Lordcirth; ????
[00:12] <KILLME1> bs=1M*
[00:13] <lordcirth> Kimish, ok, what graphics card do you have, and what driver were you using prior to it breaking?
[00:13] <tgm4883> KILLME1: it's times like this that a relevant yet unhelpful (post-dataloss) saying comes to mind. "If your data isn't backed up, it's not important"
[00:13] <KILLME1> lesson learned fml
[00:14] <tgm4883> KILLME1: yep, I think we've all been there at one point or another, missing something that we didn't back up
[00:14] <sruli> can anyone help me with a little bash script i have for iptables, the script inserts rules for iptables  V 4 & 6 so i execute 'for V in 4 6; do ip${V}tables' i have a function to remove the  '4' when it populates the rules for iptables v4 ip4tables() {iptables $@} however it doesnt seem to remove the '4' can anyone help me out here please?
[00:15] <lordcirth> I nuked a 400GB Win7 partition once - which I was planning to do - once I moved my files off.
[00:15] <Kimish> Lordcirth ; am really a noob when it comes to hardware but i guess i have nvidia card
[00:16] <abhishek> nvidia-367 sucks
[00:16] <_CoolGuy_> http://i.imgur.com/xdCFQO7.jpg
[00:16] <lordcirth> I didn't know 367 was out
[00:17] <Kimish> Lordcirth: any way to fix it ??
[00:17] <OerHeks> thanks _CoolGuy_ you spammed that here yesterday too.
[00:17] <lordcirth> Kimish, I wish you could pastebin it.
[00:18] <dax> _CoolGuy_: #ubuntu is for technical support. Please don't link artwork here, especially not repeatedly. Thanks :)
[00:18] <lordcirth> Kimish, Is there a line about "nouveau" ?
[00:19] <Kimish> lordcirth: i cant
[00:20] <Kimish> Lordcirth : where should i look for the line in the begining ?
[00:21] <lordcirth> Kimish, you're using "less", right?  Type /nouveau <Enter> to search for it, and /<Enter> to go to the next
[00:21] <superguest_> On previous versions of Ubuntu, to install the flashplayer plugin for Firefox all I needed to do was to cp libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[00:21] <superguest_> Where should I copy libflashplayer.so to in 16.04?
[00:23] <OerHeks> i thought you needed the flashplugin-installer, which is part of restricted-extras metapackage
[00:23] <lordcirth> superguest_, a word of warning, flash for linux firefox is deprecated and quite behind on security patches.  It's a bad idea.
[00:24] <OerHeks> !flash
[00:25] <Kimish> Lordcirth ; yes there are so many lines with nouveau
[00:26] <lordcirth> Kimish, ok, well, nouveau is the graphics driver you are using.  So there is a decent chance that those lines will reveal your problem.
[00:28] <xxt> oi
[00:31] <Kimish> Lordcirth: (II) UnloadModule: "nouveau"
[00:31] <Kimish> So what does that says ?
[00:33] <kholdstayre> where are the init scripts for network-manager stored in ubuntu?
[00:33] <Kimish> Lordcirth: ?
[00:35] <superguest_> OerHeks, the help page doesn't apply to 16.04.  Anyway, according to apt, flashplugin-installer is installed *but* youtube is still using html5 player
[00:36] <OerHeks> superguest_, that is automatic preferred, on chrome and perhaps now firefox too
[00:36] <Kimish> Lordcirth:am not sure what is the problem ?
[00:36] <OerHeks> flash should die
[00:37] <tgm4883> kholdstayre: if you go to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ does it say that flash is installed?
[00:37] <superguest_> tgm4883, yes it does.
[00:37] <tgm4883> superguest_: then you're done. Flash is installed
[00:38] <superguest_> tgm4883, Now, how can I set youtube.com to use flash over html5 player?
[00:38] <OerHeks> maybe you don't get the highest streams wwith webm/html5 ..
[00:39] <tgm4883> superguest_: that sounds like a question for youtube
[00:39] <tgm4883> superguest_: have you tried this https://www.youtube.com/html5
[00:40] <sruli> in a bash script "for V in 4 6; do ip$Vtables .... done" how can i remove the '4' from the result?
[00:41] <OerHeks> about:config media.mediasource.whitelist = true and media.mediasource.webm.enabled = false #this might push flash
[00:41] <OerHeks> reverse of http://askubuntu.com/questions/624171/html5-as-default-for-video-in-firefox-and-banishing-flash
[00:43] <kimish> Lordcirth: are u still there ??
[00:44] <lordcirth> !patience | kimish
[00:44] <lordcirth> kimish, Unloading is not an error, as usc
[00:44] <lordcirth> such*
[00:44] <lordcirth> kimish, you want to look up a bit and see what triggered X to exit.
[00:47] <kimish> Lordcirth: i remember it happened to me before wheb i wrote startx in the terminal , i got an easy fix at that time . But now the same problem but i dont know shat is causing it ?
[00:50] <kimish> Lordcirth : how do i exit the log ??
[00:50] <lordcirth> kimish, 'q'
[00:51] <lordcirth> kimish, most likely there will be an error somewhere, between the X starting up and the X shutting down, that tells you the problem.
[00:54] <kimish> Am not sure wht u mean by X , but should i look for it in the log that error ??
[00:54] <lordcirth> kimish, X = X11 = Xorg, same thing.  It is what gets started when you run "startx" or login graphically
[00:55] <lordcirth> kimish, it is starting up, then immediately shutting down.  /var/log/Xorg.0.log is it's log file, which will tell you why.
[00:56] <gde33> what is with that google chrome process with a name some 200 characters long?

[00:59] <lordcirth> gde33, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[01:00] <tgm4883> gde33: so you're worried about something that you'll rarely see looking hideous?
[01:00] <gde33> looks more like 500 characters, no way to copy anything in system monitor?

[01:02] <jn_jn> have anyone installed unity3d editor in ubuntu?
[01:06] <lordcirth> !help | jn_jn
[01:07] <jn_jn> WTF?
[01:07] <jn_jn> ah so, sry I got you, can I know if is possible get rid of the problem of "service not available, please try again later" for unity in ubuntu 16.04?
[01:07] <somsip> jn_jn: just ask your real question
[01:08] <jn_jn> i'm speak about unity 3d, in the channel and in the forum they have no solution
[01:08] <somsip> jn_jn: and what is your real question about unity.
[01:09] <lordcirth> jn_jn, where and when does this message come up?
[01:09] <somsip> jn_jn: laaag - ignore last repeat
[01:11] <lordcirth> jn_jn, I wasn't aware that Unity3D had a linux version of the editor.  I don't see one on the site.
[01:12] <somsip> lordcirth: it's on a beta page
[01:12] <lordcirth> somsip, where?  I'm on (a) beta page.
[01:12] <somsip> lordcirth: link here http://blogs.unity3d.com/2015/08/26/unity-comes-to-linux-experimental-build-now-available/
[01:13] <lordcirth> Ah thanks
[01:13] <oct14732> Hi I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu (and any other distro--tried Lubuntu and Mint) on my HP probook 6465b. The installs seems to go fine, but each time I try to boot, I get dumped out to the BusyBox / initramfs shell. mostly without an error message. But when I try to book in recovery mode, sometimes, I'll catch a "Gave up waiting for root device" msg with a specific error message. "Missing modules (cat /proc/modules: ls /dev
[01:13] <oct14732>  ALERT  UUID=a641a2c8-11ae-40ff-9e09-ac07b4953 does not exist. Dropping to Shell. I've tried a bunch of different solutions as suggested on the forums and AskUbuntu, and none of them seem to work. I'm new to linux, so please assume that I'm an idiot/beginner for answers.
[01:14] <jn_jn> when i want start a new project in the login windows after wrote mail and psswd, a message say "service not available, please try again later" no error in output terminal, I can work with it running offline
[01:14] <somsip> jn_jn: that's something you may need unity support about then
[01:14] <lordcirth> jn_jn, are you sure this is linux/ubuntu specific?  Sounds like a Unity thing to me
[01:15] <jn_jn> lordcirth, yep isn't a unity bug
[01:15] <somsip> oct14732: something like this might be relevant? http://homepage.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/Jan.Holthuis/misc/uefi-madness/
[01:15] <jn_jn> sorry isn't a ubuntu bug
[01:16] <lordcirth> http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201101-6954/  Certified hardware for 12.04
[01:16] <somsip> jn_jn: it's unsupported (here) and beta software. Issues are to be expected, but I know that's not helpful as such. Try unity support
[01:17] <jn_jn> i'm searching for someone that know the problem, is a known issue, so don't worry nobody can help me, TY all anyway
[01:17] <_CoolGuy_> Is becoming a software architect a big deal?
[01:17] <oct14732> somsip, I'm not even trying to dual-boot windows. Just hoping to install 16.04
[01:17] <lordcirth> _CoolGuy_, yes, generally.  Why?
[01:18] <_CoolGuy_> I don't know.
[01:18] <oct14732> lordcirth, do you think that the issue is that I'm trying to install an OS that's too recent? Should I downgrade to 12.05?
[01:19] <lordcirth> oct14732, I doubt that's the problem, Ubuntu stable releases are supposed to work on all reasonable hardware
[01:19] <somsip> oct14732: the section 'some very bad uefi implementations' suggests that this laptop uses a very bad uefi implementation. Also noted later with "or HP for putting such a crappy UEFI implementation "
[01:20] <_CoolGuy_> can a software project run without a software architect?
[01:20] <oct14732> is a UEFI implementation something that can be changed?
[01:20] <tgm4883> !OT | _CoolGuy_
[01:20] <somsip> !ot | _CoolGuy_
[01:20] <somsip> snap!
[01:20] <tgm4883> haha
[01:20] <tgm4883> Too slow :)
[01:20] <lordcirth> Good thing ubottu deduplicates
[01:20] <somsip> oct14732: not sure if BIOS upgrades would help, but it might give you something to research about
[01:21] <somsip> tgm4883: need more coffee :)
[01:21] <jamesd> oct14732: its not that old... but if you want to verify you can grab a copy of the last lts version... 14.04 of somethng.
[01:22] <_CoolGuy_> I ask because I prefer hearing from you.
[01:22] <oct14732> okay, I'll start looking into BIOS--in the meantime, anyone have any suggestions about that error message?
[01:23] <tgm4883> _CoolGuy_: it's not a support question, so you should take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:23] <_CoolGuy_> ok
[01:23] <oct14732> I've completely wiped windows off the computer as well, and I haven't put any of my data on there as well--I've reinstalled Ubuntu onto the hard drive multiple times--nothing seems to fix this error
[01:24] <lordcirth> oct14732, boot from the installer, install smartmontools, and check the SMART health of the hard drive.
[01:24] <tgm4883> oct14732: I'd see if there is a bios/uefi update
[01:26] <somsip> oct14732: missed the error message first time I read your question. Quick search shows loads of replies, including http://askubuntu.com/questions/461564/ubuntu-14-04-boot-error and https://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20150819/error-after-reboot-alert-devdiskby-uuid574707ab-c5c5-4886-b289-7446226fdd90-d both referring to using boot-repair-disk
[01:26] <lordcirth> somsip, but I think if you need to use boot-repair-disk right after install, something is wrong.
[01:27] <somsip> lordcirth: oh yes.
[01:31] <Guest23179> Is anyone using zoiper? When I drag the main window with my mouse, it tends to "delay"
[01:31] <administrador> Hello. does anyone knows how to make a Windows USB for installation? I just cant find the right, way, I formated my USB to NTFS, FAT32 and still get this error message http://pastebin.com/qkV7fNsq
[01:31] <ParlorMa> Anyone using Steam (Game: Unturned) ?
[01:31] <somsip> administrador: we dont support windows here, but try rufus. My last word on this.
[01:31] <somsip> ParlorMa: what's your real question?
[01:32] <ParlorMa> somsip, game crashes while Loading (start up) - was curious if someone had some experience with it here. Since I can't find much on Google yet
[01:32] <Guest23179> @administrador open disks, go to your usb, restore image, select the iso
[01:32] <somsip> ParlorMa: can you provide error messages
[01:32] <dax> Guest23179: doesn't work.
[01:32] <Guest23179> will erase your hard disk
[01:32] <dax> administrador: There is no supported method for making Windows USB disks from non-Windows systems.
[01:32] <Guest23179> i mean usb
[01:32] <ParlorMa> and Steam Community (discussions) have many posts but not replies with fixes
[01:33] <oct14732> okay, i'm running boot-repair right now. hopefully that fixes the problem.
[01:33] <ParlorMa> somsip, one moment
[01:33] <dax> administrador: #ubuntu also does not help with ISOs you get from interesting places on the internet
[01:33] <somsip> ParlorMa: well, I know nothing about steam so cant help personally. Just trying to get you to a stage where someone might be able to help
[01:33] <Guest23179> I need help with zoiper having delays with dragging the main window all around the desktop. It tends to lag.
[01:34] <Guest23179> Or rather it doesn't "clip" properly on the mouse cursor
[01:34] <somsip> !info zoiper | Guest23179 (is it supported here?)
[01:34] <ParlorMa> somsip, http://pastebin.com/uPzWVYW0 that's the error message if I try to run it directly. (I appreciate it, though I don't expect much...)
[01:35] <lordcirth> ParlorMa, a textbook unhelpful error message, I'm afraid.
[01:35] <lordcirth> ParlorMa, does the game have a log?
[01:35] <ParlorMa> lordcirth, tried to search for it - but no luck yet... I'll look again
[01:36] <somsip> ParlorMa: I assume Unturned is the game you're trying to play? If steam works with other games, seems like Unturned publishers have done a Bad Thing
[01:37] <mint1234> Does every "checking for ..." have to result in "yes" when executing ./configure script?
[01:37] <somsip> mint1234: no
[01:37] <administrador> dax, I have no CD drive, thats why I have a copy of the Windows legit  ISO
[01:38] <somsip> administrador: still off topic here
[01:38]  * tgm4883 doubts that
[01:38] <XinZhao> LOL
[01:38] <XinZhao> Windows Legit Edition
[01:38] <dax> administrador: which you got from somewhere interesting. and there is still no supported way of getting Windows on a USB stick from a non-Windows OS
[01:38] <XinZhao> You guys know that even pirates right now til the end of the month can get a legit windows 10 licence?
[01:38] <XinZhao> :>
[01:38] <somsip> !ot | XinZhao
[01:38] <dax> so go ask ##windows if you want to poke at it further, but I strongly recommend just finding a Windows computer
[01:38] <mint1234> somsip: thank you
[01:39] <administrador> somsip, Well, I am in Ubuntu 14.04, does Ubuntu does basic stuff like making a Windows bootable USB?
[01:39] <lordcirth> Or, you know, not installing windows
[01:39] <XinZhao> somsip; I didnt bring it up someone else was talking about it ;D
[01:39] <somsip> XinZhao: you continued it, and now you're being asked politely to stop
[01:39] <ParlorMa> somsip, lordcirth - it's true, the devs must have done something wrong... Another game I installed works just fine. Anyway appreciate the feedback (As for the log... no luck)
[01:39] <lordcirth> administrador, Windows USB format is not basic, it is undocumented and unstandardized.
[01:39] <XinZhao> lol yes sir
[01:39] <administrador> dax, well, that sucks, eh?
[01:39] <XinZhao> o lorde o commander
[01:39] <dax> administrador: indeed
[01:39] <somsip> XinZhao: and mature a little while you're at it
[01:40] <N8TheGr8_> Hello all! Can anyone help me with an installation issue I'm having? I'm trying to get to learn how to use Linux properly, however I cannot seem to get it to install alongside Windows 10. My BIOS is UEFI but Alienware seems to have installed the OS as EFI....
[01:41] <XinZhao> !ot lordcirth
[01:41] <XinZhao> !ot administrador
[01:41] <XinZhao> At least my tip was actually interesting ;D
[01:41] <XinZhao> "USB FORMATS"
[01:41] <XinZhao> zzzZzz
[01:41] <dax> N8TheGr8_: what's the actual issue you're seeing while trying to install Ubuntu
[01:41] <XinZhao> N8TheGr8_; Windows 10 installed by default that way? weird..
[01:41] <XinZhao> You can do a clean install
[01:41] <tgm4883> ParlorMa: what's the output of "uname -a"
[01:41] <dax> XinZhao: (your connection lagged, all your messages just appeared at once, so the floodbot thwacked you)
[01:42] <dax> and as far as throwing !ot around goes, i think we all got the point and can stop poking at each other now
[01:42] <tgm4883> lol
[01:42] <tgm4883> dax: you're assuming he didn't do that on purpose?
[01:42] <Jordan_U> N8TheGr8_: There is no such thing as installing Windows for "EFI" as opposed to UEFI. What problem are you having specifically?
[01:42] <XinZhao> Nah I am just an enter fiend. You should see my blog xD
[01:42] <XinZhao> Ill try to keep it succinct <3
[01:42] <dax> tgm4883: correct, because it would make no sense and I assume good faith
[01:43] <dax> XinZhao: you sent 7 lines in one second ;)
[01:43] <ParlorMa> tgm4883, it's linux-wide, not specifically ubuntu - just saying
[01:43] <dax> anyways
[01:43] <N8TheGr8_> They installed Win8 on it originally, but my system is set to use UEFI with legacy oproms. When I run the installer I don't see the option to install Ubuntu alongside Windows. When I created a partition for Ubuntu, it would only successfully boot into Win10, Ubuntu never showed
[01:43] <XinZhao> dax; oh, that sucks, I thought id fixed my lag spikes with my new router ;((
[01:43] <tgm4883> ParlorMa: mostly I was asking since I just found a thread saying if you have a 32-bit OS that the game crashes on startup
[01:43] <N8TheGr8_> I'm sure I did something incorrectly, hence why I came here for help (which is much appreciated!)
[01:43] <XinZhao> N8TheGr8_; Well that explains it, Win8 was often installed that way.
[01:43] <ParlorMa> tgm4883, ah no... x64 here. I'll try google again...
[01:44] <N8TheGr8_> XinZhao oof...I fear a reinstall is headed my way?
[01:44] <teegee> hi
[01:44] <administrador> teegee, Hi :)
[01:45] <teegee> I set up a bridge on my 16.04 and am trying to configure the dns server but it won't accept it. I put dns-nameservers into /etc/network/interfaces and tried setting it via nmcli -p c modify br0 ipv4.dns but nothing works
[01:46] <tgm4883> ParlorMa: maybe try a newer (beta) or older (classic) or ancient (antique) veresion http://steamcommunity.com/app/304930/discussions/3/535151589888703229/
[01:46] <teegee> I can modify /etc/resolv.conf but it'll be overwritten on boot?
[01:46] <Zhao> grrr
[01:46] <administrador> Guest23179. thx for the advice, it looks like all files from the ISO are in the USB, I'll reboot now.
[01:47] <Zhao> how is it even with fibre and a $500 router im still getting dropouts
[01:47] <N8TheGr8_> Lmao is that you, Xin?
[01:47] <Zhao> this is not a thing that is supposed to happen
[01:47] <Jordan_U> N8TheGr8_: Please pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l".
[01:47] <N8TheGr8_> Hrm...I'm not able to get into Ubuntu...should I boot into the live version?
[01:48] <N8TheGr8_> (From USB)
[01:48] <Zhao> oh wait, windows 10 decided to ignore my ethernet connection and use wifi instead -_-
[01:49] <Jordan_U> N8TheGr8_: Yes.
[01:49] <N8TheGr8_> Alrighty, I'll have to disappear for a bit
[01:49] <lordcirth> teegee, resolvconf will overwrite it, yes.  Look for /etc/resolvconf
[01:50] <teegee> lordcirth: yes, I found that. it says it'll be overwritten too
[01:50] <teegee> lordcirth: at least all the bits in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/
[01:51] <teegee> lordcirth: or should I put it in the "tail"?
[01:51] <tgm4883> teegee: in tail
[01:52] <teegee> and ifdown, ifup will load the changes?
[01:52] <teegee> alright, let's reboot
[01:52] <lordcirth> teegee, not for dns.  systemctl restart networking
[01:52] <lordcirth> or a reboot, ofc
[01:53] <teegee> ifdown; ifup made it work
[01:53] <tgm4883> teegee: "resolvconf -u"
[01:54] <teegee> why won't it accept the dns-nameserver line in interfaces?
[01:54] <lordcirth> teegee, Ubuntu Desktop does weird things with networking.  Ubuntu Server uses /etc/network/interfaces quite cleanly.
[01:55] <teegee> lordcirth: I think I started with a server install but then I put the lubuntu package on. What do I have now? server or desktop?
[01:55] <OerHeks> weird? just disable networkmanager ..
[01:55] <OerHeks> or setup networkmanager correct
[01:55] <lordcirth> ^
[01:55] <tgm4883> I wouldn't call it weird, network manager is managing the network connection
[01:56] <tgm4883> so if you want to put in custom DNS servers, put it in network manager
[01:56] <OerHeks> if you don't disable it, you script against a tiger :-D
[01:56] <lordcirth> It would be more precise to say, things my server-focused self does not know.
[01:56] <teegee> tgm4883: I tried that with the nmcli
[01:57] <tgm4883> teegee: you couldn't add DNS servers via nmcli?
[01:57] <ParlorMa> tgm4883, funny thing - I used SimpleScreenRec because something was popping up and I couldn't see it. Turns out the games loads to the StartScreen then the window closes & another one (black) opens up.
[01:57] <teegee> tgm4883: I could but it didn't seem to use it
[01:58]  * tgm4883 goes back to read the original question
[01:58] <teegee> tgm4883: it showed up in nmcli -p c show br0 but host wouldn't look up anything
[01:58] <ParlorMa> anyway, disregard my problem - prioritize other people instead ^_^
[01:58] <N8TheGr8> Hello, I'm back! What was the command that someone wanted me to run? :O
[01:58] <teegee> (it does now btw)
[01:58] <tgm4883> teegee: ah a bridge interface, I'm not sure that's in the scope of nm
[01:58] <teegee> ParlorMa: sorry for interfering
[01:59] <teegee> tgm4883: ic. I'll accept that and live on happily since it's working now.
[01:59] <teegee> Thanks for you help everyone
[01:59] <OerHeks> bridge can be done .. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man5/nmcli-examples.5.html
[02:01] <N8TheGr8> XinZhao, are you still here buddy?
[02:01] <teegee> I'm setting the bridge up in /etc/network/interfaces so I assumed I can just use it to configure the dns too
[02:02] <teegee> I only tried doing it with nm afterwards when it wasn't working
[02:02] <OerHeks> now you know why
[02:02] <teegee> because when we assume we make an ass out of u and me?
[02:03] <OerHeks> no, if we explain it right, you pass it on correctly
[02:04] <OerHeks> saves us a lot of time
[02:10] <_44trent> so i don't know if this is a good idea, but i'm trying to downgrade xorg to 1.17 so i can get fglrx to work on 16.04
[02:10] <_44trent> how would i go about doing that?
[02:10] <tgm4883> _44trent: no, that would not be a good idea I think
[02:11] <OerHeks> you will end up with 14.04.4
[02:12] <lordcirth> _44trent, have you tried the new "amdgpu" driver?
[02:12] <lordcirth> or radeonsi
[02:13] <_44trent> can't use AMDGPU on an R9 390 :/
[02:14] <lordcirth> _44trent, Gentoo wiki seems to disagree with you: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Amdgpu
[02:14] <_44trent> well, actually
[02:14] <dax> downgrading xorg in 16.04 is a terrible idea
[02:14] <_44trent> yeah if i compile my own kernel
[02:14] <dax> if you don't like the default driver in 16.04 for your card, your decent options are: 1) don't use 16.04, or 2) put up with it and see if a solution comes out at some point
[02:15] <dax> and by "decent" i mean things that will not break your system and render it unsupportable
[02:15] <_44trent> so what you're suggesting is i go to 14.04 or 15.10?
[02:15] <OerHeks> 15.10 support ends with a month
[02:15] <_44trent> ...so the previous LTS?
[02:16] <dax> i'd go with option (2) to be honest. 15.10 is only supported for nine months from release (so not long), and 14.04 is old and you can't use HWE because it'll end up with xenial xorg soon
[02:16] <_44trent> i'll just take a third option and get AMDGPU to work on R9 390
[02:17] <_44trent> all it requires it something enabled in the kernel...
[02:17] <_44trent> kernel upgrades are kind of risky though...
[02:17] <dax> if it involves kernel recompilation, #ubuntu doesn't support it. good luck, though
[02:17] <lordcirth> _44trent, Ubuntu generally keeps past kernels around
[02:17] <dax> (i do not know whether it does involve kernel recompilation, i haven't looked into it)
[02:18] <_44trent> yeah, it requires kernel recompilation. the gentoo wiki and arch wiki have good documentation on it
[02:24] <turbokraken> Hello, I'm looking to install skype on 16.04. I have added a partner repository to download it but keep getting the error "unmet dependencies: skype-bin". Any suggestions?
[02:25] <Guest95904> curious anybody know what the difference are between  UHCI/OHCI/EHCI and the xhci for usb controllers are the protocals or spec's pretty much compatible from a software register point of view or does it take much to port a control from one to the other
[02:26] <OerHeks> turbokraken, perform sudo apt-get install -f # this should fix dependencies
[02:26] <Guest95904> Basically what i am getting at is what are the major software programming differences
[02:26] <somsip> !ot | Guest95904
[02:27] <turbokraken> @0erheks, it stops then install completely due to the dependency missing. sudo apt-get install -f doesn't download anything. T_T
[02:27] <OerHeks> Guest95904, good start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Host_controller_interface
[02:27] <noraatepernos> What is the role of the user ubuntu on aws’s Ubuntu image?  I noticed on DigitalOcean there’s no ubuntu user and I think this is a “sodoer” if I’m not mistaken.
[02:27] <OerHeks> !skyp
[02:27] <somsip> noraatepernos: sudo with no password
[02:27] <OerHeks> !skype
[02:28] <noraatepernos> I need to replicate the aws user on digital ocean.
[02:28] <noraatepernos> somsip: Awesome thanks.
[02:28] <OerHeks> ugh, ugly wiki .. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 ..
[02:29] <turbokraken> Yeah, followed the wiki and get the same results.
[02:30] <OerHeks> turbokraken, what is the complete error you get? paste in paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:30] <tgm4883> turbokraken: it might be best to use the web
[02:30] <OerHeks> skype app is indeed wonky
[02:31] <turbokraken> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17108242/
[02:31] <turbokraken> I just need it for a job interview Thursday.
[02:31] <turbokraken> If the web will work with the cam and mic then I should be good.
[02:32] <OerHeks> turbokraken, sudo apt-get install skype-bin
[02:32] <tgm4883> turbokraken: I'm not sure the app works with cam and mic anymore. IIRC it's not been updated for awhile so some functionality doesn't work
[02:32] <OerHeks> really odd that it does not get installed
[02:34] <todd_> list
[02:34] <Guest95904> anybody know what the irq mei_me is for what hardware on the computer uses this... I looked up and it say's its called Intel(R) Management Engine Interface
[02:34] <Guest95904> And say's its for allow remote administrators to login to the machine to do such things as apply patches, defrags, and other administrative tasks
[02:35] <Guest95904> But what exactly is the hardware for it / what hardware triggers it uses
[02:35] <OerHeks> Guest95904, how is this related to ubuntu support?
[02:35] <OerHeks> try the ##hardware channel
[02:35] <Guest95904> its part of the ubuntu os
[02:36] <jamesd> Guest95904: my guess its for the ilom, or a group of iloms so tools could allowed to orcestrate the install over pathes on 100's or 1000's or even 10's of thousands of boxes, i think HP latest servers support it.
[02:36] <tgm4883> Guest95904: no, it's part of your intel processor/chipset. It's not generally used in home applications. Further, among privacy experts, it's considered a security risk
[02:38] <Guest95904> where is it used and how does it work .
[02:38] <Guest95904> remote administration why would that need an interrupt
[02:38] <jamesd> think google or amazon clouds, where they need to patch many boxes at once. but frankly MC would do a better job and safer.
[02:38] <Guest95904> so your saying is it part of the cpu internals or on the motherboard
[02:39] <tgm4883> Guest95904: yes
[02:39] <jamesd> cpu internals, that is accessed by the ilom ( out of band management)
[02:39] <Guest95904> ilom ?
[02:40] <tgm4883> Guest95904: https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelme
[02:41] <deadmund> I just installed kubuntu-desktop and purged unity, but when I boot my system I just got a black screen (no login manager) what should I do?
[02:42] <jamesd> Guest95904: its basicly a small computer insdiet the big one that monitors the big computer and allows you to see the console over a web interface, and crates virtual cdrom so you can install the system from anywhere.
[02:42] <jamesd> inside
[02:42] <deadmund> I can switch to TTY1 and run commands
[02:43] <lordcirth> deadmund, install sddm?  I think that's what Kubuntu 16.04 uses
[02:43] <deadmund> lordcirth: I installed it and I will reboot.  I was using lightdm I think (I have been working without taking a lot of care to what commands I've been running)
[02:44] <Guest95904> so won't that be a privacy issue since a hacker or somebody could uses it to monitor all of what your doing on your own computer
[02:44] <tgm4883> Guest95904: well yes
[02:44] <lordcirth> Guest95904, yes, if they can get in, or steal Intel's backdoor keys
[02:44] <tgm4883> Guest95904: I mean, they would need to gain access to it first
[02:44] <Guest95904> I guess what was the many purpose for it or the big benifit for the addition
[02:44] <tgm4883> Guest95904: you'd have to ask Intel
[02:45] <deadmund> I installed sddm, tested the sytem, no luck. I purged and reins
[02:45] <deadmund> Seems to be working fine.  Moving on
[02:45] <deadmund> lordcirth: Thanks!
[02:46] <lordcirth> deadmund, cool.  np.
[02:46] <jamesd> Guest95904: if you tie into the ilom, you can have pre-shared keys so everything sent accross the wire is encrypted, and you can use firewalls to keep traffic off the network and ilom traffic is supposed to limited to system management only no internet.
[02:46] <Guest95904> has any home users ever used it or does the any os kernel uses this its on an irq a LKM does exist  mei and mei_me
[02:46] <Guest95904> so the os must have some uses for it
[02:46] <samy87> hello
[02:47] <tgm4883> jamesd: you can use the IME to gain access to the desktop session as well
[02:47] <jamesd> Guest95904: no a home user would use it, its faster to have windows updater or apt-get update/upgrade take care of it.  and most home users don't create there own packages.. so no real reason not to use the OS provided tools
[02:48] <jamesd> tgm4883: yeap probably helps some hell desk people.
[02:48] <samy87> for the life of me i cannot delete a folder even as root. i have checked lsof, restarted the server many times. shutdown all services with no avail. I keep getting permission denied. chmod is 0777, ownership is root. please adivse?
[02:48] <jamesd> but really microsoft has remote desktop tools pretty well setup, just send a rdesktop invite or have them go to a website and take over .
[02:49] <tgm4883> jamesd: perhaps, although there are other tools for that. I'd much rather that IME didn't exist
[02:49] <Guest95904> so why are thos lkm loaded for it
[02:49] <jamesd> tgm4883: someone asked for it... probablty can be disabled without much trouble
[02:50] <Guest95904> if they dont have a purpose i should have no issues with other things not usesing it with rmmod
[02:50] <tgm4883> jamesd: well that's the rub. It's closed source proprietary stuff. Can it really be disabled?
[02:50] <jamesd> its probably an option in the bios or the ilom.
[02:50] <b-yeezi> samy87 did you look at lsattr? Make sure it is not an immutable file
[02:51] <tgm4883> jamesd: yes, there is an option for that, but I'm not sure I want to trust something so low level on the system that isn't open source
[02:52] <samy87> b-yeezi: no but lsattr says ----i--------e-- i don't know what this means!
[02:53] <lordcirth> samy87, if you are sure you want to delete it, try 'chattr -i <file>'
[02:53] <samy87> never mind i understand
[02:53] <samy87> yes thank you,
[02:53] <b-yeezi> Good
[02:54] <jamesd> tgm4883: may i interest you in a opensource cpu, there are several out there, they aren't cheap but they are opensource.
[02:57] <reisio> they aren't real competitive, either
[02:57] <reisio> but they are open source :)

[03:30] <BenderRodriguez> rebelos: I thought you despised Ubuntu
[03:46] <plop_its_ellie> hey has anyone here had issues connecting to wifi on ubuntu 16.04?
[03:47] <plop_its_ellie> i ask cuz ive had 2 clients that have had issues connecting to their wifi
[03:48] <uxfi> is LAMP on 14.04 a good VPS isntane i can use if I dont want to et up a web server fully?
[03:49] <plop_its_ellie> LAMP=linux apache mysql php
[03:50] <plop_its_ellie> it sets up a web server plus the additional stuff
[03:51] <lcapellan> as
[04:00] <somsip> !ping
[04:00] <plop_its_ellie> !ping
[04:00] <plop_its_ellie> awwww :(
[04:03] <somsip> plop_its_ellie: it's throttled
[04:06] <tominator> Is there any way to add Mac compatibility to a portable ubuntu installation?
[04:06] <tominator> Like updating grub so it works with mac?
[04:06] <tominator> And PC
[04:07] <somsip> !mac | tominator
[04:07] <tominator> This is more of an overarching Ubuntu question
[04:07] <somsip> tominator: and that's more of a general help page for mac-related issues
[04:08] <tominator> Alright, thank you for the redirect
[04:08] <tominator> do i put in #mac?
[04:08] <plop_its_ellie> ubottu, i loaded ubuntu mate on a 5k imac the other day via live usb, it ran fine but it was so funny how tiny everything was
[04:08] <plop_its_ellie> woops lol
[04:08] <tominator> I did the same thing :P
[04:09] <hiexpo> lol
[04:09] <somsip> tominator: there are also links on that page for other resources that might help
[04:09] <tominator> Alright, I'll check it out, thanks
[04:09] <plop_its_ellie> i was actually quite impressed tho that everything else seemed to be working fine
[04:14] <tominator> buntu
[04:15] <tominator> somsip: It answered my question. Thank you.
[04:15] <somsip> tominator: cool
[04:32] <plop_its_ellie> hey i have another question for you guys
[04:33] <Xin> Well, that was interesting
[04:33] <Xin> someone tried very hard to hack me
[04:33] <Xin> lol
[04:33] <plop_its_ellie> i was also telling a client today about file system snapshots and how it will help against ransomware
[04:33] <plop_its_ellie> i gave her ubuntu 16.06, so realistically the most practical filesystem to put on her external hdd with snapshots would be btrfs
[04:34] <plop_its_ellie> would you guys feel comfortable giving clients btrfs?
[04:34] <Xin> plop_its_ellie; good advice, and yet you yourself go on irc not using a vhost
[04:34] <Xin> xD
[04:34] <somsip> plop_its_ellie: it's more an opinion thing rather than support, so #ubuntu-offtopic or even #linux as a general FS question.
[04:34] <jamesd> plop_its_ellie: well hope another bug comes down from them.. they have had some pretty big showstoppers that destroy data, hope it doesn't destroy your relationship
[04:35] <plop_its_ellie> o_O
[04:35] <plop_its_ellie> well i havent formatted any of her drives to btrfs but she is getting an external hdd for backups
[04:35] <plop_its_ellie> and i will try the offtopic chanal
[04:35] <plop_its_ellie> channel
[04:49] <superguest> How can I install 3rd party software in Ubuntu 16.04?
[04:49] <somsip> superguest: like what?
[04:49] <superguest> I am trying to installing the Google Chrome deb package
[04:49] <superguest> and Ubuntu Software is not allowing me to do so
[04:49] <somsip> superguest: download it and sudo dpkg -i {file} which will also add a PPA so you can update it through apt-get in the future
[04:54] <superguest> somsip, thanks.  I am getting a sense that Ubuntu is starting to impose more restrictions.
[04:54] <somsip> ubottu: why?
[04:54] <somsip> superguest: why?
[04:54] <superguest> somsip, your solution worked btw.
[05:06] <upc1010> hello
[05:27] <ddnh> hi all
[05:28] <ddnh> can anybody read me?
[05:28] <Ben64> yes
[05:29] <nicomachus> has anyone ever used the webpage monitor 'urlwatch'?
[05:29] <ddnh> than you Ben64, didn't know whether loging is needed or what
[05:30] <ddnh> can anybody tell me how to configure power settings from CL as it is not present in graphical mode anywhere?
[05:31] <Ben64> system tools -> preferences -> power
[05:32] <ddnh> system tools -> preferences -> power is not there and system configuration has almost no icons
[05:32] <ddnh> if I could launch it from CL it could be done
[05:36] <Ben64> ddnh: you must have installed ubuntu in some weird way then
[05:43] <bownsl> Unable to install Ruby gem sqlite3 on xenial
[05:44] <bownsl> I have downloaded ruby-full ruby-sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev and sqlite3 packages
[05:44] <bownsl> But it still fails to find sqlite3.h... header files
[05:44] <Flippto> Hey all. Does anyone have any experience with installing ubuntu on an eMMC drive ? My drive kicks me out when i try to install on my laptop.
[05:45] <greydawg> bownsl: that's not enough info mate
[05:45] <bownsl> Well
[05:45] <greydawg> yeah like a SD card?
[05:45] <somsip> bownsl: usually, you need a -dev package to get header files
[05:45] <somsip> bownsl: oh - you did. Ignore that
[05:45] <greydawg> bownsl: yeah
[05:45] <bownsl> as I listed the libsqlite3-dev has the headers
[05:45] <bownsl> i located the headers and it returns /usr/include/sqlite3.h
[05:45] <greydawg> for python it's python-dev
[05:46] <Flippto> greydawg> Yeah. I can partition and format fine. But when the installer runs, it just error out.
[05:46] <bownsl> so for whatever reason there not being found by the gem install command
[05:46] <greydawg> there you go
[05:46] <greydawg> what OS do you have ?
[05:46] <greydawg> Flippto: what os windowsl?
[05:47] <Nosophorus> hello
[05:47] <Flippto> greydawg> Its native win10, but i deleted the drive and re-partitioned it.
[05:48] <greydawg> Flippto: so when does the error occur?
[05:48] <Nosophorus> I had an strange problem here with my internet connection.
[05:48] <Flippto> greydawg> When its done copying files over and starting the install. It says the drive is write protected.
[05:49] <bownsl> whats odd is `gem list sqlite3` returns sqlite3 in the list
[05:49] <bownsl> and I can require it in irb
[05:50] <Nosophorus> When using the Network Manager to connect to the web using my DSL connection, some websites took forever to load.
[05:50] <Nosophorus> But when I used the command "pppoeconf" to configure my DSL connection and connect to the web, the websites are loading flawlessly.
[05:50] <Nosophorus> Why did that happen?
[05:52] <greydawg> Nosophorus: you can use manual configuration
[05:52] <greydawg> for ipv4
[05:53] <Nosophorus> greydawg: Any link to a tutorial? :-)
[05:53] <greydawg> man copy your connection information
[05:54] <greydawg> and than edit your connection settings

[05:58] <Nosophorus> greydawg: What is the command line to retrieve my connection information?
[05:58] <tim241> hi guys I have a problem: http://pastebin.com/y8zDC2EE I am following this tutorial: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/DualBootPatcher/blob/master/docs/BUILD-Android.md please help me or pm me
[05:59] <greydawg> do you not have a GUI
[05:59] <somsip> tim241: contact the maintainer of that gihub package.
[05:59] <Nosophorus> greydawg: Yes. I have the Network Manager GUI, but, right now, I'm connected through the command line "pppoeconf"
[06:02] <brelod> Hey guys! have u ever tried mailpile?
[06:14] <atralhea-> Hello, I want to set a system-wide DNS to be applied on every connection I have or I will have, and prevent any other DNS server to be used. I tried this: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/128220/how-do-i-set-my-dns-when-resolv-conf-is-being-overwritten/163506#163506 but I still have my previous DNS server beside the new one.
[06:32] <epifanio__>  hi, i'm struggling with permision settings ..  how can i set the permision of a directory to be:  drwxr-xr-x+   instead of drwxr-xr-x ?
[06:32] <Ben64> the + means you have ACLs... what exactly are you trying to accomplish
[06:34] <epifanio__> I'm tring to setup a multi user service, jupyter notebook, which for each user will use the directory  ./local to store some settings related to extension to its interface  that uses the
[06:34] <epifanio__> i did this for one user, now i need to replicate it for other users
[06:35] <epifanio__> so i copied the  ./local from one user ..  inside the home of an other user
[06:35] <tim241> I have a problem when I am trying to build the apk from this tutorial:https://github.com/chenxiaolong/DualBootPatcher/blob/master/docs/BUILD-Android.md : http://pastebin.com/Bgj18urc
[06:35] <epifanio__> and now i got a 500 error
[06:35] <Ben64> ./local isn't very specific
[06:35] <epifanio__> i checked the permisions .. between the 2 directory and they differ for the acl,  ./local/share/nameofthe application
[06:36] <Ben64> how about the owner
[06:37] <epifanio__> exactly this:  http://paste.debian.net/725377/ on top is the original directory on bottom the one i copied
[06:37] <epifanio__> i tried t assign the owner with chown but it didn't change
[06:38] <epifanio__> I have root access, but  i copied it with a normal user
[06:38] <Ben64> stop using "./local" it's impossible to tell the difference
[06:38] <epifanio__> ok, a generic directory
[06:38] <Ben64> ....no give the full path
[06:39] <Ben64> do you see what you pasted? "here is ./local"  .... "and here is ./local"
[06:39] <subuh> i have installed ubuntu 16.04 and i then i install ssh server but from client conection refused
[06:41] <brelod> subuh: r u on LAN?
[06:41] <epifanio__> Ben64, all the files in ./local/share/jupyter/* needs to change from -rwxr-xr-x to -rwxr-xr-x+
[06:41] <Ben64> no
[06:41] <epifanio__> ?
[06:41] <Ben64> the + by itself means nothing
[06:41] <brelod> subuh: i mean are the client and the server on the same LAN network?
[06:41] <subuh> yes, i work localy fror my local server
[06:42] <epifanio__> Ben64, can you explain? I do not undrstand .. that's the main problem
[06:42] <brelod> subuh: is there any firewall settings? everything is accepted?
[06:42] <subuh> my local server ip's 192.168.2.200
[06:42] <tim241> ok
[06:43] <Ben64> epifanio_: it's still not clear to me what you're doing, maybe try explaining it more fully? and use full paths, not relative
[06:43] <subuh> my pc ip's 192.168.2.20
[06:44] <epifanio__> oh, i see. ok. in each $HOME of each user of my server there is a .local folder which has full path:  /home/$USER/.local/share/jupyter/*
[06:44] <subuh> i have tried to ping from my pc to my server, the result is reply
[06:44] <epifanio__> i copied it from one uswer to the other
[06:45] <epifanio__> cp -R /home/$USER_1/.local/share/jupyter/ /home/$USER_2/.local/share/
[06:45] <brelod> subuh: try that: nc -vz 192.168.2.200 22
[06:46] <epifanio__> so now $USER_2 has :  /home/$USER_2/.local/share/jupyter   (as $USER_1)
[06:46] <subuh> brelod ; Ok i'll try
[06:46] <Aleksejs> Hi. There are some programs that get regular updates (daily), and update for each is exactly 4Mb large. Programs are neovim, different tox clients etc. It's definitely a pattern here. Is it something I should worry about?
[06:46] <epifanio__> but whwen I try to load a webpage from the app that uses that folder, i got a error 500
[06:46] <Ben64> epifanio_: so each person has a webserver?
[06:46] <student> Hey, how to install growtopia?
[06:47] <epifanio__> Ben64, yes it is a multiuser service which uses PAM authentication to generate a per-user istance of the application
[06:48] <Ben64> epifanio_: does the user own everything within the folder
[06:48] <epifanio__> Ben64 yes
[06:48] <brelod> subuh: if 'connection refused' -> is the service running? 'sudo service ssh status | grep active' -> running or dead in brackets?
[06:49] <Ben64> epifanio_: run getfacl on the directory with the +
[06:49] <brelod> subuh: you should run this cmd on the server side
[06:49] <atralhea-> guys do you know a channel about networking stuff? specially iptables, I think it can be my answer
[06:49] <Ben64> ##networking
[06:51] <student> Nu-Gi-Oh is my favorite show on redtube :3
[06:52] <epifanio_> Ben64 http://paste.debian.net/725407/
[06:53] <Ben64> then something else is the problem
[06:54] <student> test
[06:54] <epifanio_> tis is on the directoy without = : http://paste.debian.net/725408/
[06:55] <student> tsdfdfdõ
[06:56] <Ben64> epifanio_: well that's not normal
[06:56] <Ben64> epifanio_: are you on ubuntu?
[06:56] <epifanio_> on debian
[06:56] <Ben64> then use #debian
[06:57] <epifanio_> ok  kid .. i'll ask your big brother
[06:58] <tim241> If I do su in the terminal: it asks me for a password, when I fill in my root account password it says su: Authentication failure
[06:58] <tim241>  but I can do sudo with the password of the roo account?failure
[06:59] <Ben64> !root | tim241
[07:00] <tim241> why did they removed that? wtf
[07:00] <Ben64> it's been like that for a LONG time
[07:00] <epifanio__> Ben64, big brother debian said: remove the copy .. and copy it again using sudo
[07:00] <epifanio__> and that fixed it
[07:01] <Ben64> epifanio__: ok, don't come here for debian support
[07:02] <epifanio__> Ben64 OK .. I should not come here for anything related to unix then .. becouse those basic things are the same on all *nix OS
[07:02] <epifanio__> i thing you are a bit racist ..
[07:02] <epifanio__> ciao
[07:02] <Ben64> epifanio__: it's called #ubuntu ... if you want unix there is a channel for that, for general linux there is ##linux for debian there is #debian. use the proper channels, don't be dumb
[07:04] <epifanio__> Ben64, you are perfectly right. I tried .. is late, i'm still at work and I left my laptop at home which is logged on irc and on linux and unix you can't post if you are not authenticated .. thet's the reason of all those underscore with my username
[07:05] <epifanio__> anyway .. thanjks

[08:04] <diverdude> Hello. is it possible to make a user which can only log in via ssh and which only can view/read/write/execute content in his home directory and execute system programs? (Everything should be completely closed to the user)
[08:15] <your_mirror> Hello, Can somebody explain about c++ compile and drivers (alsa). I'm compiling pjsip library on Linux. All works good if I use default sound card, so there is sound. After that I connect a usb headphones and set as default sound card and there isn't sound in pjsip. Should I compile with connected headphones or what I should to do?
[08:18] <guzzlefry> Is there a recommended PPA for PHP7?
[08:21] <diverdude> Hello. is it possible to make a user which can only log in via ssh and which only can view/read/write/execute content in his home directory and execute system programs? (Everything should be completely closed to the user)
[08:22] <ikonia> diverdude: you should look at chroot
[08:22] <ikonia> and maybe look at policy kit and acl's depending on how far you want to push
[08:31] <Gnomethrower> Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone knows a tool like fuser or lsof that works on FUSE filesystems when they crash
[08:32] <ikonia> fuse file system ?
[08:33] <ikonia> it's not actually a file system, it's just how it's presented to the user over the network
[08:33] <ikonia> eg: samba - is not actually a file system
[08:33] <Gnomethrower> specifically, if MooseFS or LizardFS or GlusterFS FUSE client crashes, with dir /storage/lfs as the mountpoint, I can't umount /storage/lfs until I kill anything using it. lsof and fuser however are useless in this scenario and do not work with crashed FUSE mountpoints
[08:33] <Gnomethrower> ikonia: in this case I'm talking about actual filesystems. I'm aware FUSE is for other stuff too
[08:33] <ikonia> Gnomethrower: what file system are you actually talking about then
[08:33] <_peter_> @search pease
[08:34] <Gnomethrower> ikonia: LizardFS in this case, but we've seen the same behaviour from Gluster and MooseFS
[08:34] <ikonia> Gnomethrower: isn't this the same situation as any remote userspace mount, as then the mount goes the userdata/status is lost
[08:34] <ikonia> so when you remount tools like lsof won't show anything
[08:35] <hotspot> anybody know how to change channel on the ubuntu hotspot or some other software to create a hotspot without AP mode?
[08:35] <ikonia> so you fix it on the server which the file system is not a userspace mount, it's a local file system
[08:35] <Gnomethrower> ikonia: I'm not worried about remounting losing the status
[08:35] <Gnomethrower> ikonia: I'm wanting to unmount it from a client, but it won't let me while for example nginx is running
[08:36] <Gnomethrower> and usually lsof/fuser would tell you what to kill to be able to successfully umount
[08:36] <Gnomethrower> but lsof and fuser do not work on a crashed FUSE mountpoint
[08:36] <Gnomethrower> okay, apparently this is a kernel limitation and there's really no easy solution
[08:37] <Gnomethrower> so consider my question solved I guess
[08:38] <diverdude> ikonia, if i set up chroot for a specific user logging on via ssh, would that user still be able to run rsync from his home directory to a remote server?
[08:38] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> how can I copy/paste colored text from terminal into some sort of file format keeping the same coloring?
[08:42] <diverdude> ikonia, hmmm it seems chroot is very insecure and easy to break out from
[08:46] <arlekin> how can i couple hardware touchpad switch with software one in ubuntu 16.04 ?
[08:46] <arlekin> i mean after restart os somehow remembers whether it had disabled touchpad, but hardware switch enables touchpad
[08:47] <arlekin> so now after clicking hardware (and even worse cause software too) touchpad switch
[08:47] <arlekin> it toggles state of touchpad (to enabled in ubuntu) but to disabled on switches
[08:48] <arlekin> in some previous ubuntu version this could be alleviated by changing keyboard shortcut for disabling touchpad
[08:48] <arlekin> but i can't find it right now

[09:25] <hicoleri> I have recently noticed that you can directly use apt instead of apt-get for installing stuff, the difference being that when I install files through apt instead of apt-get, there are colors and a progress bar of the actual installation process. Are there any other differences?
[09:26] <Guest13472> explosive: you did not made it worse ? did you ?
[09:26] <Guest4457> its python compiler.

[09:40] <anabain> freshly installed kubuntu 16.04: as root, ping google.com does not work, but ping 8.8.8.8 does. What's going on? resolv.conf stuff?
[09:42] <SwedeMike> anabain: "does not work" isn't a helpful fault description.
[09:42] <SwedeMike> anabain: does it resolve google.com and tries pinging but you get no answer, or the resolvig of google.com to an IP address fails?
[09:42] <anabain> SwedeMike,  unknown host is the output from ping google.com as root
[09:43] <SwedeMike> anabain: then you have a resolver problem, yes.
[09:43] <anabain> what's next, then, SwedeMike

[09:54] <anabain> I wonder at what level am I Having this resolver problem...
[09:55] <SwedeMike> anabain: so you have one resolver located in cogent network, one in Abrared in Madrid, one Google resolver
[09:56] <SwedeMike> anabain: which one seems like it should be the one you use?
[09:57] <anaran> hi, can't ssh from my upgraded xenial to an old trusty host. Can I upgrade to ssh2 in trusty, as opposed to installing ssh1 in xenial?
[09:58] <anabain> SwedeMike, all other boxes at home are using the same config and the same version OS, so I don't know exactly and they work fine. Is it relevant?

[10:21] <Gobo708> 	Hi All, just imaging a microSD with ubuntu mate on it and I was wondering why I have two kernal image files. kernal.img & kernal7.img present
[10:22] <mint1234> where to find information and source of acl library that is used by sed?
[10:23] <Ben64> Gobo708: can you be more specific
[10:23] <Ben64> mint1234: mint is supported in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[10:24] <Gobo708> Ben64, hi, yes so I have installed ubuntu mate on a raspberry pi microSD
[10:25] <Gobo708> Ben64, I am taking a backup image of the microSD from windows
[10:25] <Gobo708> Ben64, I browsed the MicrosSD, that had ubuntu mate installed on it... and noticed two files of the same size. Approx 3.7G
[10:25] <Gobo708> kernal.img & kernal7.img
[10:26] <Gobo708> Seems to me thats its duplicated the kernal image
[10:26] <ogra_> Gobo708, the two kernel files are a thing from broadcom, you have to ask in the rpi community
[10:26] <ogra_> ubuntu just uses their setup to boot the image
[10:26] <Gobo708> ok thanks
[10:26] <Ben64> well that has nothing to do with ubuntu, if they're 3.7GB it's likely a whole disk image
[10:27] <akik> Gobo708: and it's never spelled kernal if you refer to the linux kernel
[10:27] <Ben64> that too
[10:27] <Gobo708> akik: Thanks for the spell check

[10:30] <user1__> problem with ssd to usb adapter on ubuntu 16.04 - http://paste.ubuntu.com/17113097/
[10:32] <user1_> no one here?

[10:33] <acetakwas> I'm having a distorted screen
[10:33] <acetakwas> http://imgur.com/PoEsGhW
[10:33] <acetakwas> It happens every once in a while
[10:33] <acetakwas> What could be causing that?
[10:34] <Ben64> bad video card, bad video card drivers, something along those lines
[10:34] <Fiki> I have to say Ubuntu is less stable than I hoped, I mean the problems I encounter are usually easily fixable but are annoying a bit I get things like: at decryption when I type in the password the CPU fan goes to max and it remains frozen, Ubuntu won't shutdown, interface freeze(though less regular than on 14.04)
[10:34] <acetakwas> I use LXDE, and it's never happened with Unity
[10:34] <acetakwas> How could it be a bad video card?
[10:34] <ikonia> Fiki: the cpu fan goes to max as your cpu is probably working to decyrpt
[10:35] <acetakwas> For some text on the screen to be missing
[10:35] <Ben64> weird things happening on screen .... usually you'd look at what is displaying it
[10:36] <acetakwas> Ben64::  How do you mean please?
[10:36] <Ben64> i don
[10:36] <Ben64> 't think i can explain it any simpler
[10:36] <acetakwas> Okay, thanks
[10:40] <acetakwas> Only got fixed after a reboot
[10:49] <idev> what is the minimal machine that can support 3 monitors?
[10:50] <Hanumaan> how to know which package has to be installed to get the files /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0             and         /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0.0.0
[10:51] <somsip> !find libhunspeall | Hanumaan
[10:51] <somsip> !find libhunspell | Hanumaan
[10:51] <EriC^^> Hanumaan: dpkg -S /usr/lib/libhunspell-1.2.so.0
[11:02] <jinxi> hello
[11:06] <Hanumaan> how to install this package now? it seems not there any more: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17113618/
[11:09] <Fiki> ikonia, yeah but that only happens when it doesn't work
[11:09] <Fiki> ikonia, when it does it takes 2 sec max
[11:11] <Snowie> hi all. got thinking about security and decided to look for what open ports there are on my machine. for some reason it looks like wesnoth from the repositories is still running as a daemon, but it's no longer installed on my system. how do i go about hunting it down and killing it, or at least stop the port listening. is it worth being worried?
[11:12] <curvian> hi if software i downloaded requires later version of some lib than what is currently installed on my system, can i upgrade it without upgrading os?
[11:13] <Fiki> curvian, usually yes
[11:13] <lyze> Snowie, if you are behind a firewall then nah ... normally not
[11:13] <Fiki> curvian, you just need to add the source where a newer package is available, and usually a ppa exists for all popular libraries
[11:13] <lyze> you should only be worried about that if you can access the computer via the itnernet
[11:13] <curvian> Fiki: thanks
[11:13] <Snowie> lyze: my WAN router is my firewall, that is all.
[11:14] <lyze> Snowie, well is the port opened there?
[11:14] <glass_> iam trying to ssh to my local machine from a VM on my local machine?
[11:14] <Snowie> I have played wesnoth online so, i guess, yeah.
[11:14] <OzwWulf> Hello all
[11:14] <lyze> Snowie, well that's a outgoing connection and not a incoming probably since you have connected to a server and not people to your computer.
[11:15] <lyze> glass_, set the vm to bridged
[11:15] <Snowie> lyze: yeah, i see. makes sense. bugs me now that i've seen it though lol. ok, i'll stress less.
[11:16] <Snowie> lyze: actually, the game has LAN support, which i guess is why it's listening, but that doesn't mean it will upnp configure the router for incoming right?
[11:17] <glass_> lyze i figgured it out, i was using -port for some reason instead of -p thanks
[11:17] <x4u3n> Hi, i have installed lvm2 but not appear service into init.d? i need to restart computer?
[11:17] <Red_M> x4u3n: lvm2 issssssssssssssssssss for volume management
[11:17] <Red_M> *is
[11:17] <Red_M> its not a service
[11:17] <lyze> Snowie, it should not! But I guess you can simply test it, http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ or something like that ^^
[11:18] <x4u3n> Red_M: how could i use lvm devices in ubuntu?
[11:18] <ikonia> I suggest you research lvm
[11:18] <Red_M> look upo a guide
[11:18] <ikonia> it's a pointless question "how can I use them" if you don't even know wht it is
[11:18] <x4u3n> ok let me, ty

[11:27] <Fluid01> hello
[11:28] <ikonia> he was on debian
[11:33] <brelod> :q
[11:34] <marlo_> i've got a problem with apt that I cannot seem to resolve, I'm wonder if I could get some guidance; http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17114114/
[11:34] <ikonia> the hook to trigger the re-creation of initrd failed
[11:35] <ikonia> you need to look at why
[11:35] <marlo_> ikonia, ok
[11:35] <hateball> marlo_: is /boot full perhaps? df -h
[11:36] <marlo_> hateball, no http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17114164/
[11:37] <marlo_> i've googled a half dozen times the initramfs-tool error but can't seem to find something relevant to this problem
[11:38] <ikonia> marlo_: have you looked at the dpkg logs
[11:38] <marlo_> ikonia, no
[11:40] <ogra_> marlo_, dpkg -S  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse
[11:40] <ogra_> find out what package did put the broken hook script there
[11:42] <marlo_> ogra_, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17114278/
[11:42] <ogra_> marlo_, dpkg -S  .... not -A
[11:43] <marlo_> duh!
[11:43] <marlo_> ogra_, dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse
[11:44] <ogra_> did you put that file there by hnd ?
[11:44] <ogra_> *hand
[11:44] <marlo_> no
[11:44] <marlo_> dated feb 14th
[11:44] <marlo_> by root
[11:44] <marlo_> (this has been a problem for a while)
[11:44] <ogra_> well, something put it there ... and it wasnt a deb package
[11:45] <marlo_> on or about that time i went through my regular update procedures
[11:45] <marlo_> and it broke
[11:45] <Thelma> Can someone help me
[11:46] <ogra_> marlo_, https://sourceforge.net/p/vdfuse/tickets/1/
[11:46] <Thelma> exit
[11:48] <marlo_> ogra_, thanks, i'm not sure what i'm looking for
[11:49] <ogra_> marlo_, well, you apparently have some third party script or package in use that has put that file into place ... looking at that big above it seems like the hook isnt actually executable ...
[11:49] <ogra_> just read the bug comments
[11:49] <marlo_> ic
[11:49] <marlo_> i'm reading...
[11:49] <marlo_> i see in the comments
[11:50] <marlo_> vdprepare.sh
[11:50] <marlo_> i located that in my /home/mark/Downloads/vdfuse folder!
[11:50] <marlo_> i honestly don't know what that is... but i'm looking to see what i did
[11:51] <marlo_> or the next question would be how do i remove it?
[11:51] <marlo_> it's virtual box!
[11:52] <marlo_> no clue why it's in my home Downloads folder, except that I installed virtual box not from apt but that was some time ago
[11:52] <marlo_> how do i get rid of it?
[11:53] <marlo_> (not virtual box, the error)
[11:53] <ikonia> what is triggering the call to that script
[11:53] <ikonia> I assume it's something within the custom initrd ?
[11:54] <marlo_> well, from what I've observed, updates to the system involve updates to initrd from virtualbox
[11:54] <marlo_> so that's part of it's typical function, beyond me
[11:55] <marlo_> but now something in there is broke with it, i cannot even remove --purge virtual box
[11:56] <marlo_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17114572/
[11:56] <ikonia> marlo_: thats not how it should work
[11:57] <ikonia> why would you need something about virtualbox in the pre-boot environment ?
[11:57] <marlo_> ikonia, beats me
[11:57] <marlo_> i've downloaded and installed it for years
[11:57] <ikonia> you won't be "purge" virtualbox as a package if you installed it as a non-package
[11:57] <marlo_> it always seems to hook something in to initrd
[11:57] <ikonia> so you may need to manually edit the initrd
[11:58] <ogra_> nah
[11:58] <marlo_> well, i download a deb and dpkg on it
[11:58] <marlo_> to install it
[11:58] <ogra_> mv /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse
[11:58] <ogra_> sudo update-initramfs -u
[11:58] <ogra_> done ...
[11:58] <ikonia> ogra_: thats a much nicer way
[11:58] <ogra_> err
[11:58] <ikonia> lovely
[11:58] <ogra_>  mv /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/vdfuse .
[11:58] <akik> marlo_: the package name is probably virtualbox-5.0
[11:59] <marlo_> yup
[11:59] <marlo_> it is
[11:59] <marlo_> !
[11:59] <marlo_> 5.0_5.0.14
[11:59] <akik> i don't think vdfuse is a part of it(?). it was to do with mounting the virtual image files
[12:01] <ogra_> if it would have been ppart of any package "dpkg -S" would have known
[12:01] <ogra_> it definitely isnt
[12:01] <akik> nope
[12:01] <marlo_> ogra_, working now!  thank you, sir!
[12:02] <marlo_> that was driving me mental
[12:02] <ogra_> enjoy :)
[12:02] <marlo_> i'm imaging my virtual box is broken now?
[12:02] <marlo_> but no matter
[12:02] <marlo_> i can sort that one out
[12:02] <alxpa> Fucked my only SD card trying to flash Linux on it from Mac....
[12:02] <marlo_> this was keeping me from upgrading anything
[12:03] <zulfikar354> hi all
[12:03] <akik> marlo_: vdfuse is not part of virtualbox per se
[12:03] <zulfikar354> heei
[12:03] <zulfikar354> are there programmer in here ?
[12:03] <marlo_> akik, it is in my Downloads folder, and has some vb stuff in it
[12:03] <marlo_> so it must have come from that install?
[12:03] <alxpa> It came up with Linux error when I booted off it and now it won't show up on any device...
[12:03] <marlo_> zulfikar354, i am a programmer
[12:04] <zulfikar354> hei nice to meet you marlo
[12:04] <marlo_> ogra_, ooo laa laa... it's nice watching my apt update once again
[12:04] <ogra_> :)
[12:04] <akik> marlo_: no it's not part of virtualbox-5.0
[12:04] <zulfikar354> what kind of programmer
[12:05] <marlo_> zulfikar354, c++
[12:05] <marlo_> predominantly
[12:06] <marlo_> brb, i have to see if i can reboot this machine now... something else that broke in all this mess...
[12:07] <alxpa> Is there a way to fix a completely unrecognised SD card??
[12:07] <alxpa> Windows and Mac can't read it.
[12:07] <alxpa> Yet I formatted it in Mac
[12:10] <marlo_> ogra_, yahooo! it reboots as well... i haven't rebooted this computer in months because of this
[12:10] <marlo_> thank you again so much!
[12:10] <ogra_> no problem :)
[12:11] <alxpa> Ogra_ would u know about how to fix an SD card which was screwed up in the process of flashing
[12:11] <marlo_> i have one computer left in this office with windows through no choice of my own, i freaking love linux
[12:12] <jatt> with systemd is there a way to mount all partitions available in /etc/fstab
[12:14] <ogra_> alxpa, not really, no ... sorry
[12:14] <alxpa> No problem ogra_
[12:14] <ikonia> jatt: that happens automatically at boot
[12:15] <ikonia> it's the equivilent of the old "mountall" init script
[12:29] <wamph>  /wc
[12:32] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:40] <R13ose> I get this notification of the "important os and application updates are ready to be installed" but unsure what this is for, any ideas?
[12:42] <ikonia> R13ose: it means there are updates available to you
[12:42] <ikonia> it would be wise to apply the
[12:42] <ikonia> them
[12:44] <R13ose> ikonia: yes but which updates?
[12:44] <BluesKaj> it's exactly what it says important updates for your Operating System (os) , R13ose...the package manager doesn't lie :-)
[12:44] <Pici> I'm pretty sure the gui will tell you which ones once you click through that (although I don't use Ubuntu Desktop, so ymmv)
[12:45] <R13ose> How do I get rid of failed ppa's when I update from the command line?
[12:46] <mircx1> Hello i  use with ubuntu 14.04 and i get error someone can please told me how i fix it or what i need to install for it please http://paste.ubuntu.com/17115794/
[12:46] <BluesKaj> R13ose:  use the sudo apt upgrade command in the terminal too see what they are
[12:46] <BluesKaj> too=to
[12:49] <doublel93> hey , someone knows how to see on which port is vnc4server running ?
[12:50] <R13ose> that works.
[12:50] <Pici> doublel93: I'd guess 5900, as thats the standard vnc port
[12:50] <ddddddd> re
[12:51] <lyze> doublel93, netstat -tulpn
[12:53] <doublel93> 5901, I've installed vncserver and then vnc4server I feel so confused, vnc4server is telling me "connection refused by the host computer", any idea ?
[12:55] <mircx1> Hello i  use with ubuntu 14.04 and i get error someone can please told me how i fix it or what i need to install for it please http://paste.ubuntu.com/17115794/
[12:58] <ikonia> R13ose: all of them
[12:58] <sxpert> have a small issue I can't find a solution in google for:
[12:58] <sxpert> I have this python app, and intend to use uwsgi to run it.
[12:58] <R13ose> ikonia: Yes but I want to get rid of the packages and I thought there was a command for that.
[12:58] <sxpert> it seems there's a probleme with the system provided stuff
[12:58] <sxpert> as I'm getting some errors :
[12:59] <k1l> mircx1: cant tell you from that single output. ask the ones who gave you the code to compile what depencies that code got
[12:59] <sxpert> Job for uwsgi.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status uwsgi.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.\
[12:59] <bory1time> I installed ubuntu on a dell d6000 but it wont connect via wifi how do i fix
[12:59] <sxpert> do I have to modify the .service thing ?
[13:02] <doublel93> still with vnc4server ,  if I start it with "vncserver"  I can connect to it, but if I start with "vncserver -geometry 1280x720 -randr 1280x720" on the client sais connection refused by the host, why is that ?
[13:03] <bdonnahue> hey guys. new to ubuntu. how are people liking 16.04. should i upgrade from 14.04
[13:05] <gulzar> bdonnahue: wait for .1 release
[13:05] <DJones> bdonnahue: Its difficult to say, it works for me, does everything I want with no bugs, but every user is different, maybe the best course of action isto create a live usb and try it to see if makes much difference
[13:06] <mircx1> k1|
[13:06] <mircx1> what is mean
[13:06] <mircx1> i try run services irc and i get it error
[13:06] <mircx1> everything i try install
[13:06] <mircx1> i try install that apt-get install libconfig-dev
[13:08] <sxpert> think I want to blame systemd for this crap again
[13:08] <bdonnahue> gulzar DJones thanks
[13:09] <mircx1> and i dont know what i need to do in here and how i fix it
[13:12] <mircx1> k1l
[13:18] <Guest22397> Hi I added a command to /etc/rc.local to disable ethernet device on startup but it doesn't work. When I execute it after login it works. What am I missing there ? Thanks
[13:18] <Guest68191> k
[13:18] <hateball> !patience
[13:21] <Guest22397> Sorry I thought kubuntu and ubuntu are different channels
[13:21] <k1l> mircx1: what code do you try to compile? are you sure you got al the depencies that code names?
[13:23] <mircx1> this what i try run https://github.com/oftc/oftc-ircservices/blob/master/INSTALL anyway something i need install and i dont know what
[13:25] <k1l> mircx1: that is to run an own irc network. are you sure you want to run an own irc network? this are not just bots you can run on other networks like oftc or freenode
[13:27] <jimbotux> hello! Wondering if anyone could advise on something im trying to figure out with ulimits and differences between 1604 & 1404 LTS versions
[13:28] <jimbotux> when making changes to /etc/security/limits.conf in 1604 it doesnt seem i need to add anything like "session required         pam_limits.so"
[13:28] <jimbotux> to my common sessions for it to pickup the ulimit changes
[13:28] <jimbotux> but with 1404 without those changes the user in question wont get the limits edit...
[13:29] <morrolan1> l
[13:29] <jimbotux> does anyone know if this is maybe something to do with systemd and logind..? i can see pam_systemd mentioned now in common-sessions as standard in 1604.
[13:29] <jimbotux> Any help or advice would be great cheers.
[13:30] <kapad> need help with setting up my touchpad. I'm using a Dell E7470. The touchpad is an ALPS device, but it is recognized only as a generic wheel mouse in xinput --list
[13:30] <kapad> anyone here use that same laptop, or fixed issues with alps touchpads before.
[13:31] <kapad> I've already scoured other sources (wiki/askubuntu and forums) but haven't yet come across a solution that worked for me.
[13:31] <cyborg_ninja> Hello guys. Anybody here who had completely installed dota 2 on ubuntu?
[13:32] <ikonia> jimbotux: interesting so are you seeing limits being updated real time ?
[13:33] <sveinse> I'm trying to get crashplan running on a NAS server running 16.04, and I keep getting not-found by stsremctl status crashplan, despite that a service has been installed to /etc/init.d. I thought systemctl evaluated legacy init.d services as well. What can I do to proceed the debugging?
[13:33] <ikonia> sveinse: no it won't
[13:33] <jimbotux> ikonia, so i make the change then sudo su - USERNAME and changes are there in 1604
[13:33] <ikonia> sveinse: list the unit files
[13:33] <ikonia> jimbotux: ahh, that isn't a surprise
[13:33] <ikonia> as that is a session parameter
[13:33] <jimbotux> ikonia, but 1404 nothing until i add the common sessions.
[13:34] <sveinse> ikonia: ? list unit files?
[13:34] <ikonia> sveinse: yes the systemd
[13:34] <ikonia> sveinse: as /etc/init.d means nothing
[13:34] <ikonia> sveinse: I assume this is not coming from the ubuntu repo
[13:34] <ikonia> rather some 3rd party repo
[13:34] <Xin> evening all
[13:34] <ikonia> jimbotux: that sort of makes sense
[13:35] <sveinse> ikonia: But why does ubuntu maintain /etc/rc*.d/ then? That is lecacy init.d isn't it?
[13:35] <ikonia> sveinse: yes, as some upstart scripts are wrapped
[13:35] <jimbotux> ikonia, Could you explain why please? Im scratching my head..am i missing something or has something changed. Thanks
[13:35] <sveinse> ikonia: So why does systemd does not pickup crashplan as a startable service then?
[13:36] <ikonia> sveinse: because you have not created a systemd unit file for it - you're looking at legacy init files
[13:36] <ikonia> sveinse: where did this package from from
[13:36] <Trent1> Hello, my brightness controls and wifi controls (function keys) aren't working. Using Ubuntu 16.04
[13:37] <sveinse> ikonia: official crashplan installation
[13:37] <ikonia> jimbotux: so as I understand it now, a new session is spawned - that is now controlled by systemd in terms of the enviornment
[13:37] <ikonia> sveinse: ok - so have they packaged and built it for systemd
[13:37] <ikonia> !info crashplan
[13:37] <sveinse> ikonia: I know it's their responsibility to fix, but it does not help me when ubuntu has changed to systemd :(
[13:38] <ikonia> sveinse: then you need to contact them
[13:38] <ikonia> sveinse: and ask them to fix their packages and maintain them
[13:38] <ikonia> or you need to use software that is designed for the operating system you want to use
[13:38] <Trent1> Is there like a "keyboard driver" or something that I need to install to get my function keys back?
[13:38] <jimbotux> ikonia, cheers. I assumed it was systemd related. Might ask in systemd irc for more details
[13:39] <rbasak> ikonia, sveinse: systemd does have backwards-compatible support for init.d scripts.
[13:39] <ikonia> jimbotux: yeah, I'd need to understand the session managment better (as I don't at the moment) but systemd will control the spawning of the new process - so it controls the env
[13:39] <sveinse> ikonia: Sorry, not really helpful....
[13:39] <ikonia> rbasak: which you have to configure and maintain, you can't just drop it in
[13:39] <ikonia> sveinse: it is - as it's the real solution
[13:40] <ikonia> sveinse: you want to use 3rd party software that doesn't work on the ubuntu distro - it is the 3rd parties job to support and maintain it, you need to talk to them, or you need to pick software designed for the OS you are running
[13:40] <rbasak> ikonia: I don't think it needs any special handling to Just Work, apart from telling systemd to reload after changing things.
[13:40] <rbasak> https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-sysv-generator.html
[13:40] <ikonia> rbasak: it depends on the way the init script is written
[13:40] <ikonia> you can load it in, but that doesn't mean it will work
[13:40] <sveinse> ikonia: To ask otherwise: How can systemd be aware of an init.d service (because it is), but not be able to start it. As in, why do the legacy init.d system exist in the first place, and how come it works while this does not?
[13:40] <Trent1> Pls respond
[13:40] <ikonia> sveinse: I've told you why they exist
[13:40] <ikonia> sveinse: some scripts are wrapped by systemd
[13:41] <sveinse> ikonia: So there is a systemd service dispatch that calls the rc*.d scripts. Is that it?
[13:41] <ikonia> sveinse: why the init script does ont work when loaded by systemd is something you will need to raise with crash plan support
[13:41] <ikonia> sveinse: basicaly yes, but the scrpits that are wrapped sometimes call a wrapper that calls them to fix the shortcomings/incompatabilities
[13:42] <akik> sveinse: did you read "journalctl -xe" to see if it contains errors about crashplan?
[13:42] <Gnjurac> totally  offtopic but is WebSkype buged atm cuz i cant login?
[13:42] <sveinse> ikonia: Well, lets keep crashplan out of the equation for a second. I want to understand how the legacy init.d is supported and why it works for something, while not for others
[13:43] <ikonia> sveinse: you are using comercial business software - it doesn't work
[13:43] <ikonia> talk to them
[13:43] <ikonia> we are not here to support a comercials businesses lack of ability to support and maintain their own product
[13:44] <sveinse> ikonia: Thats fine. Lets keep crashplan out of the equation as I said.
[13:44] <ikonia> lets not
[13:44] <ikonia> talk to crashplan to fix their problem
[13:44] <tomaz__> hi. does anybody know is there a way that i would LOCK access to server, but be able to show let say browser with some dynamic graphs?
[13:44] <ikonia> if you want to debug their script - debug their script
[13:45] <ikonia> tomaz__: look at kios modes, setup a specific user profile, look at policy kit
[13:45] <ikonia> assuming I understood what you want
[13:49] <TrentH> :(
[13:49] <sveinse> ikonia: I got 78 services listed in /etc/init.d/. How come they apparently is capable of using the legacy init.d while others are not. Point is, this is not going the last time a service that use the legacy init.d is going to be used. Systemd is still new to many services (unfortunately)
[13:50] <TrentH> Can anyone help me with my function keys not working pretty please? I'm using an Acer Aspire One laptop & running Lbuntu
[13:50] <ikonia> sveinse: no idea, I'd have to look at the scripts, look at the error output of the script you're having a problem with
[13:50] <ikonia> basically I'd have to debug it
[13:51] <tomaz__> ikonia: yes kiosk mode looks a way to go, except looking quickly over one article... the main purpose of this computer will be build server... and as i can see with kiosk mode usually they mention strip down distribution
[13:51] <ikonia> tomaz__: you don't have to strip it down
[13:51] <ikonia> thats just the common setup
[13:51] <tomaz__> i would still like to be able to login to the server
[13:52] <ash_workz> should I be using a ruby-specific package manager to install ruby?
[13:52] <tomaz__> and do other tasks
[13:52] <ikonia> ash_workz: I don't believe so
[13:52] <ikonia> tomaz__: start an ssh daemon ?
[13:53] <tomaz__> but i would like to be able to lock the screen and "show" browser refreshing some graphs
[13:53] <ikonia> tomaz__: so you want a graph as a screen saver in reality
[13:53] <tomaz__> ikonia: ?
[13:53] <beantaxi> Hi all. 14.04 here. Silly question ... just updateed, my current kernel version is 3.13.0.86. kernel.org lists 4.6.2 as latest stable, and 3.18.35 as latest stable 3.x
[13:53] <tomaz__> yes
[13:53] <ikonia> tomaz__: thats just not realistic
[13:53] <tomaz__> is this even posible
[13:53] <ash_workz> ikonia: I tried to install jekyll and it said, "jekyll requires Ruby version >= 2.0.0." but `sudo apt-get upgrade ruby` leaves me with version "ruby 1.9.3p484 (2013-11-22 revision 43786) [x86_64-linux]"
[13:53] <beantaxi> Any idea why apt-get wants me on 3.13.x?
[13:53] <tomaz__> thought so
[13:53] <ikonia> beantaxi: because it keeps you on a stable supported version for your release
[13:54] <ikonia> ash_workz: so the version of ruby shipped with your version of ubuntu is too old for the version of jekyll you are using
[13:54] <tomaz__> ikonia: to have sort of transparent LOCK SCREEN :)
[13:54] <ikonia> tomaz__: it's just not realistic to work the way you want
[13:54] <ikonia> tomaz__: technically possible, just not realistic
[13:54] <ash_workz> ikonia: shouldn't apt-get upgrade have taken care of that?
[13:54] <ikonia> ash_workz: no
[13:54] <ikonia> ash_workz: it will only upgrade to the versions ubuntu package repo offer you
[13:54] <beantaxi> ikonia: So presumably that's the latest stable kernel for 14.0.4, but a later version of Ubuntu might pair with a more recent kernel?
[13:55] <ikonia> beantaxi: correct
[13:55] <ikonia> beantaxi: do you need a later version ?
[13:55] <ash_workz> ikonia: okay... so to get a more recent version of ruby, should I be installing a ruby package manager?
[13:55] <beantaxi> Fair question :) I get the sense that sticking with 14.0.4 is perfectly sane, but I'd be happy for other opinions
[13:55] <ikonia> ash_workz: no, I don't believe so
[13:55] <ash_workz> ikonia: what should I do?
[13:56] <ikonia> beantaxi: if you don't need a newer version, you'll just be chasing  version number and put your build at risk, just let ubuntu manage the versions for you and it will offer upgrades if and where available
[13:56] <ikonia> ash_workz: depends on you and a few things about how you want to move forward
[13:56] <ikonia> ash_workz: have you looked in the package manager for later versions?
[13:57] <tomaz__> ikonia: found this... will try it. http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/xtrlock.1x.html
[13:57] <tomaz__> thanks anyway for help
[13:57] <beantaxi> ikonia: And no reason to leap to 16.04 from 14.04, as long as Trusty seems to be serving me well?
[13:58] <ikonia> beantaxi: totally up to you - if you have a need to, or see something you think "yes thats worth it" then yes,
[13:59] <ikonia> beantaxi: otherwise you have a few years of support left that you can just use your machine until you see that magic something that you think is worth the upgrade
[13:59] <beantaxi> ikonia: Hmm, looking at ububtu releases (for the first time) ... 14.0.4.3 is End Of Life for "HWE August 2016", and 15.10 is actually July 2016.
[14:00] <ikonia> beantaxi: 14.04 has years left on it
[14:00] <ikonia> beantaxi: its 2 years into a 5 year cycle
[14:00] <doublel93> anyone has problem on changing resolution on vpshere with ubuntu 16.04 LTS ?
[14:01] <beantaxi> K, so I can expect a followup to 14.0.4.3 LTS; it's just not on the release page yet
[14:01] <ash_workz> ikonia: ap https://gist.github.com/anonymous/088108a8639ef400e9f45d6b88d16790 -- would imply there is not a more recent release, right?
[14:01] <EdwardMorbius> hello. does ubuntu clock snap from the store work for you guys on the desktop? it doesnt start on my system
[14:02] <ikonia> ash_workz: no, it would imply there is no later version of that package name
[14:02] <ikonia> ash_workz: eg: if there are differing major versions they are often called a different thing, eg: ruby=1.9 ruby2 =2.0
[14:02] <beantaxi> ikonia: Ok, so I can expect a followup to 14.0.4.3 LTS; it's just not on the release page yet
[14:02] <ikonia> beantaxi: correct
[14:03] <ikonia> !lts | beantaxi
[14:03] <ash_workz> ikonia: from ruby-lang.com https://gist.github.com/anonymous/cfdcba1e083aff73a94a8d32cc478b3d
[14:03] <ikonia> ash_workz: re-read whwat I said
[14:04] <beantaxi> ikonia: Perfect. Thanks very much!
[14:05] <beantaxi> ubottu: So from the List Of Releases (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases), the first 14.0.4 LTS was April 17, 2014. So it will live for 5 years from that date?
[14:06] <beantaxi> Ha ... newish to IRC; I did not know bots were a thing
[14:06] <cscf> beantaxi, yes, the !lts command, piped to you, causes the bot to tell you a prerecorded explanation.  it saves a lot of time on support channels.
[14:07] <ikonia> beantaxi: no, 5 years from iniital release
[14:07] <ikonia> ubuntu 14.04 was released in 04 2014
[14:07] <ikonia> so 5 years from that point
[14:07] <beantaxi> ikonia: Thanks; that's what I said actually :)
[14:07] <ikonia> the subsiquent releases are point releases and don't restart the clock
[14:07] <beantaxi> ikonia: (To the bot that is)
[14:08] <Ozwulf> Hello can anyone help me I'm trying to  Decrease swappiness value but i can't because im not admin ? how can i make me admin ?
[14:08] <ikonia> Ozwulf: talk to the admin of the machine
[14:08] <lyze> !sudo | Ozwulf
[14:08] <gulzar> Ozwulf: not possible. Only admin can make you admin
[14:08] <beantaxi> cscf: Thanks ... I saw ikonias command, and thought (well that looks weird but I guess I'll try it)
[14:08] <gulzar> Ozwulf: if you have root rights.Then try sduo/su
[14:09] <ikonia> gulzar: do not suggest that
[14:09] <gulzar> ikonia: ok, Ozwulf : try sudo -i
[14:10] <gulzar> ikonia: i forgot everyone have diff level of experience :)
[14:11] <ikonia> if someone doesn't know how to use sudo at a basic level, they should not be messing with swapiness
[14:12] <Ozwulf> Wow thanks mate works
[14:12] <ash_workz> ikonia: how did you know there was a ruby2.0 package
[14:12] <ash_workz> ?
 thanks mate
[14:12] <ikonia> ash_workz: I looked
[14:12] <ash_workz> ikonia: using what?
[14:13] <ikonia> ash_workz: the package manager
[14:13] <lyze> !find ruby2
[14:13] <ash_workz> ikonia: specifically
[14:13] <ash_workz> ikonia: I want to adopt whatever mentality you used
[14:13] <dury> hi there channel :-)
[14:13] <ikonia> ash_workz: I opened the package manager and in the search box I typed "ruby"
[14:13] <Pici> ash_workz: apt-cache search ruby   would be a good start
[14:13] <lyze> ash_workz, probably something like sudo apt-cache search <name>
[14:15] <ash_workz> okay.... but just doing apt-cache search ruby without knowing there might be a ruby2 yields an overwhelming number of results
[14:15] <ikonia> ash_workz: not really
[14:15] <lyze> then search for ruby2
[14:15] <ash_workz> wc -; = 1082
[14:15] <ash_workz> oop
[14:15] <ash_workz> wc -l
[14:16] <ikonia> ash_workz: if I can look in the package manager and see it - why can't you
[14:16] <ikonia> which is why I told you to "look" rather than just trying to upgrade the 1.9 package over and over
[14:17] <ash_workz> so the take home message is try the gui package manager first?
[14:18] <ikonia> your take home message is to actually look at things and research
[14:19] <arca_vorago> On 16.04, when trying to shutdown, hangs with message about libvirt guests on URI, but there are no running guests, so I have to do a hard reset... anyone seen this?
[14:19] <ash_workz> ikonia: yes yes, you're totally right. But, also.... to look at things and research by way of the gui first, right?
[14:19] <ikonia> ash_workz: no
[14:19] <ash_workz> ikonia: okay, so look at things and research by first.... ?
[14:19] <ikonia> arca_vorago: open the consoles on the guest and just check they have shutdown, I've seen libvirt mark a host as shutdown before it's powered off properly
[14:19] <ikonia> ash_workz: what ?
[14:20] <arca_vorago> I don't have any guests running though
[14:20] <ikonia> arca_vorago: re-read what I said
[14:23] <arca_vorago> ikonia: not trying to be difficult, but how do I open console on a guest that doesn't exist?
[14:23] <ash_workz> ikonia: you want me to actually look at things and research; which I totally agree... the installer page on ruby-lang.org does not give any indication that there might be a ruby2 package; apt-cache search ruby yields 1080 lines of output; so if you are thinking about installing a package completely foreign to you and you wouldn't know the name of said package whether its xyz2, xyz-2 xyz_2,...
[14:23] <ash_workz> ...xyznew, xyz-next, or whatever...  it seems like the the first thing *you* would do is try the gui package manager.
[14:24] <ikonia> arca_vorago: ahh you don't have any at all - let alone any running
[14:24] <ikonia> arca_vorago: thats different
[14:24] <ash_workz> ikonia: trying to adopt whatever line of thinking got you to that point
[14:24] <ikonia> ash_workz: ruby-lang.org is nothing to do with ubuntu
[14:24] <ikonia> ash_workz: did you look at the ubuntu wiki, did you look at the package manager, did you read any of the ubuntu forums posts, did you read any of the mailing list archives
[14:25] <ash_workz> ikonia: did you do any of that?
[14:25] <ikonia> ash_workz: what does it matter what I did
[14:25] <ash_workz> ikonia: I am trying to adopt your train of thought
[14:25] <ikonia> you asked how you needed to research, I'm offering you suggestions
[14:25] <arca_vorago> libvirt-guests isn't vital to normal operations is it?
[14:25] <arca_vorago> so I could just systemctl disable it
[14:25] <ikonia> ash_workz: forget me - I opened the package manager and searched for ruby - you are asking how to research wha tyou need
[14:26] <ikonia> arca_vorago: nah, you can disable it
[14:26] <arca_vorago> cool, gonna try that
[14:26] <tomaz__> part of which package is AT utility?
[14:26] <tomaz__> does anybody knows that?
[14:26] <ash_workz> ikonia: it just seems like you were able to conclude what I needed immensely faster than I was (or would have been attempting your suggestions)
[14:26] <ikonia> ash_workz: I did tell you to check the package manager
[14:26] <ikonia> you didn't as there where too many results
[14:27] <ikonia> the difference was, I DID check the package manager
[14:27] <ikonia> ash_workz: if there wasn't a package listed I would have checked out resources
[14:27] <ikonia> eg: mailing lists, forums, documentation, wiki
[14:28] <ash_workz> ikonia: awesome; so check the package manager first.
[14:28] <ash_workz> (which I assume is the gui?)
[14:29] <tomaz__> anybody?
[14:30] <tgm4883> tomaz__: at
[14:30] <tomaz__> nevermind stupid me... missed it
[14:31] <tomaz__> tnx
[14:32] <ikonia> ash_workz: you're approaching this wrong by focussing on pointless details
[14:32] <ikonia> ash_workz: basically research and work the problem through
[14:35] <ubuntu__> Hello To aLL!!
[14:35] <backbox_> how to port forward please ?
[14:36] <Xin> guys does anyone know a window manager for ubuntu that allows me to use hotkeys to snap windows into a grid?
[14:37] <Xin> maxto on windows does it
[14:37] <ash_workz> ikonia: sorry, part of the reason I am being persistent about this is because there is a lot of unturstworthy material on the internet that pretends to be an authority on the topic; it is very easy to be led astry by that kind of information; that's why I wanted to isolate your thought process; to try to protected against bad information.
[14:37] <Xin> or windows key + arrow key to snap to edges
[14:38] <k1l_> Xin: press and hold the windows button (called "super button"). that brings you a shortcut table
[14:40] <Tag_> hi lads
[14:40] <Tag_> i've faced a problem i don't know how to solve right now
[14:40] <Xin> k1l_; ideally I want to define the grid myself
[14:40] <Tag_> i have a software which depends on libwnck2.20-cil, which was available on willy
[14:40] <Tag_> but not on xenial
[14:41] <Tag_> how could i install this package?
[14:41] <ash_workz> ikonia: for example; googling `ubuntu install ruby` first gives the ruby-lang.org site, followed by 4 "ruby on rails" posts from gorails.com, followed by stackoverflow.com -- all possibly not what I need/want/bad info.
[14:42] <odroid> salut
[14:42] <nacc> Tag_: don't depeend on that pacakge, it's been deleted from debian as well due to being abandoned
[14:42] <k1l_> Xin: unity offers a 2x2 grid and you can snap the windows with pushing them to the edges or using the shortcuts
[14:42] <Tag_> salut odroid, company
[14:42] <ash_workz> ikonia: when you said <ikonia	ash_workz: I opened the package manager and in the search box I typed "ruby"> was that the `ubuntu software center` ?
[14:43] <Xin> I guess that'll do
[14:43] <nacc> Tag_: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=797567
[14:43] <ugur_> Hi. I am using Kubuntu 16.04. I want to disable bluetooth on startup but putting "rfkill block bluetooth" to /etc/rc.local does not work. I have disabled KDE bluetooth integration but no help
[14:44] <alberto_80> Hello everyone
[14:45] <ikonia> ugur_: what's launching it
[14:45] <ikonia> is it the kde desktop app, or the systemd init service
[14:48] <ugur_> ikonia: How will I know? I already disabled KDE bluetooth integration but something starts the service anyway
[14:48] <alberto_80> I need some help. I'm trying to install an older version of Flight Gear simulator, because my video drivers are too old for the latest release of the simulator. The thing is whenever I try to install the 3.00 version of the simulator, which is for Ubuntu 12.04, it installs the latest version instead... What am I doing wrong?
[14:48] <tim241> hi
[14:50] <tritoch> hi, should [sudo] fdisk -l return something? mine does not
[14:50] <Thinker_> gnome sound recorder not working in ubuntu 14.04   Can anyone help?
[14:50] <somsip> tritoch: sudo will, without wont
[14:51] <tritoch> sudo does not
[14:51] <somsip> tritoch: paste the command and output
[14:51] <tritoch> command: sudo fdisk -l
[14:51] <tritoch> output: nothing
[14:52] <tritoch> literally nothing to paste, just the next shell prompt
[14:52] <somsip> tritoch: how have you booted - normally? livecd? recovery?
[14:53] <tritoch> it's a virtual machine, booted normally as far as i know.  mount shows a device on /dev/
[14:55] <tritoch> mount output first line: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17119204/
[14:55] <mojtaba> Hi, I am trying to connect to a VPN, but it fails, how can I see the errors? (I am using the gui now)
[14:56] <ikonia> tritoch: is this a virtual machine/container
[14:56] <tritoch> ikonia: yes
[14:56] <ikonia> tritoch: so thats the reason, it's not a real disk and the /proc file system won't know aout it, I suspect it's a cpontainer ?
[14:56] <ikonia> container
[14:57] <tritoch> ikonia: so if i'm having a 'disk space' issue, it's probably because of the container management?
[14:58] <ikonia> no, it's probably because you're using all your disk space
[14:58] <tritoch> df says 1% utilized, same for -i
[14:59] <ugur_> Hi I am using Kubuntu 16.04 on a Dell 7559 Skylake Nvidia GTX 960M. I am fine with Intel graphics and I want to disable nouveau completely. Because it prevents system shutdown with weird errors like CPU Stuck. What do you suggest? Thanks
[14:59] <ikonia> tritoch: why do you think you have disk space problems
[14:59] <mojtaba> Hi, I am trying to connect to a VPN, but it fails, how can I see the errors? (I am using the gui now)
[14:59] <ikonia> tritoch: (its possible it's thin provisioned and there is no space on the hypervisor)
[14:59] <Tag_> thanks for your help nacc
[15:00] <tritoch> ikonia: "ENOSPC: No space left on device"
[15:00] <ikonia> tritoch: where ?
[15:00] <tritoch> when running a node.js instance
[15:00] <ikonia> where though
[15:00] <ikonia> where is it writing to
[15:00] <tritoch> from ~
[15:00] <ikonia> not from
[15:00] <ikonia> to
[15:00] <ikonia> pastebin df -h please
[15:00] <brelod> mojtaba: have u tried with terminal?
[15:01] <tritoch> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17119397/
[15:01] <mojtaba> brelod: how should I connect using terminal
[15:01] <ikonia> tritoch: hypervisor is screwed
[15:01] <nacc> alberto_80: pastebin the command used to install and the output
[15:01] <ikonia> tritoch: probably a missing disk, or no space on a thin provision
[15:01] <tritoch> ikonia: i should contact provider?
[15:01] <brelod> mojtaba: are u using openvpn?
[15:01] <ikonia> tritoch: I would
[15:01] <tritoch> thanks
[15:02] <costa> hey, im new to ubuntu, new to linux. just installed 16.04 64bit on a core i3 laptop and bloomberg.com/live doesnt work, is this a flash problem?
[15:02] <zub_> I have chromebook with xubuntu installed with seabios (i.e. not chroot). When I ctrl+L to boot to legacy it just beeps and continues to the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" screen. Is there a way to fix this without recovery? Apparently recovery wipes everything. I believe I just need shell access so I can re-enable flags
[15:03] <Mordoc_Mystery> costa, Try opening the site with Chrome rather than Firefox. Chrome for Linux includes a updated Flash player.
[15:03] <costa> thanks, i downloaded chrome but it showed up as chromium is that same thing?
[15:03] <mojtaba> brelod: Yes
[15:05] <costa> very good, thank you very much, it did indeed work, thanks you
[15:06] <Mordoc_Mystery> costa, Glad you are up and running. Enjoy!
[15:16] <ugur> I am using Kubuntu 16.04 on a Dell 7559 Skylake Nvidia GTX 960M. I am fine with Intel graphics and I want to disable nouveau completely. Because it prevents system shutdown with weird errors like CPU Stuck. What do you suggest? Thanks
[15:28] <blib> My 14.04 box does not have uinput module - how do I get it?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> blib, which input module ?
[15:31] <lostttime11111> ?
[15:31] <Melvin_> Heey i need some help with the creation of an easy bash file that needs to run daily and copy files from a map and put them in another map with date+time.
[15:31] <ikonia> try #bash channel
[15:31] <Melvin_> ty
[15:39] <zerowaitstate> if I want to create systemd unit files specific to a particular server, where do it put them? Is there a concept of a local directory for systemd unit files, or do you just put them in the same directory with the unit files provided by packages?
[15:42] <pesari> zerowaitstate: check this out https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html
[15:44] <zerowaitstate> thanks, that's what I needed
[15:44] <BluesKaj> zerowaitstate, it was the first entry in google :-)
[15:45] <zerowaitstate> BluesKaj: actually, that wasn't in my google result list at all
[15:45] <zerowaitstate> BluesKaj: I got send to a different page on www.freedesktop.org
[15:45] <BluesKaj> unit files
[15:46] <zerowaitstate> short answer, the location is /etc/systemd/system, if anyone is curious. Probably not.
[15:47] <akik> zerowaitstate: aren't they linked from /lib/systemd/system into /etc/ ?
[15:47] <akik> zerowaitstate: when you enable a systemd service
[15:48] <zerowaitstate> akik: yeah, my question was whether you put your services in a different location from where package managers normally dump theirs. That's a typical pattern in Debian distros
[15:49] <akik> zerowaitstate: i would put them under /lib/systemd
[15:57] <nacc> zerowaitstate: Other directories checked are
[15:57] <nacc>            /usr/local/lib/systemd/system and /lib/systemd/system.
[15:57] <nacc> zerowaitstate: from `man systemd`
[15:58] <zerowaitstate> all I want is to run a script automatically when the network is available
[15:58] <brunch875> Jesus, I couldn't log in since keyboard would't input some keys
[15:58] <brunch875> (including password characters)
[15:59] <brunch875> then it magically fixed itself
[15:59] <brunch875> anyone experienced this issue recently?
[15:59] <zerowaitstate> no. sounds like a bad keyboard
[16:00] <brunch875> Laptop is relatively new :(
[16:00] <brunch875> but it also explains why it got stuck on boot
[16:00]  * brunch875 sighs
[16:00] <nacc> zerowaitstate: you want to run a script or a service? i would think you'd only write a new unit if you're running a service
[16:00] <zerowaitstate> nacc: then where should I put it?
[16:01] <Jakey3> how do i turn up the volume over 100% in lub 16.04
[16:01] <Jakey3> for pulse audio
[16:02] <nacc> zerowaitstate: oh i might have been wrong (reading), it seems you could use a 'oneshot' style service (which would be a script then)
[16:03] <Snackerr> Hello, what is a simple GUI for formatting a USB drive to EXT4?  i use GNOME-DISKS  (but  that makes it read-only when i put it another laptop???!
[16:03] <BluesKaj> 100%  should be enough for ant spaeker system that has it's vol turned up past  70%, Jakey3
[16:03] <xangua> Snackerr: gparted
[16:03] <Jakey3> BluesKaj, its not
[16:04] <Jakey3> BluesKaj, in vlc i can go past 100%
[16:04] <Jakey3> how do i do it system wide
[16:04] <Snackerr> i think it has to do with "permissions"?  how do i make the Permerssions available for other laptops, when i format with GNOME-DISKS
[16:04] <BluesKaj> Jakey3, then you should checl alsamixer
[16:04] <Snackerr> instead of "read-only"
[16:04] <BluesKaj> check
[16:04] <k1l_> Snackerr: ext4 cant be read by windows. so most usbs have fat32 or ntfs on it
[16:04] <Jakey3> BluesKaj, hence why asking here
[16:05] <Snackerr> k1l_, thx, but i like EXT4,  ( and i'm looking at BTRFS or XFS, too)
[16:05] <k1l_> Snackerr: first make sure the ro mount is not due to an bad unmount. see dmesg on the other system where you try to mount it
[16:06] <Snackerr> xangua, thanks, but i like GNOME-DISKS, it shows an icon of  a USB stick, so it is less scary , that you format a HDD  :)
[16:06] <BluesKaj> Jakey3, open alamixer in the terminal , and crank the master and pcm volmes there
[16:06] <BluesKaj> alsamixer
[16:07] <Jakey3> will have alook

[16:07] <Snackerr> k1l_,  check for "bad unmount"  on the 1st computer , or 2nd laptop?

[16:11] <k1l_> Snackerr: did you unmount properly on the 1st system?
[16:11] <k1l_> Snackerr: see dmesg on the 2nd system where it doesnt mount properly
[16:12] <Snackerr> k1l_,  i think so, i pressed the "eject" icon in Thunar
[16:12] <k1l_> ok
[16:13] <Snackerr> k1l_,  i'm just wondering, if that is "normal" for GNOME-DISKS,  -- to make USB EXT4 sticks become "read only" on 2nd computers?   i.e.  do i have to do an extra step, to make it writeable?
[16:13] <k1l_> Snackerr: no. something is wrong
[16:13] <Snackerr> k1l_,   does the Linux Mint USB stick formatter do this "extra step" , that GNOME-DISKS doesnt do by "default"?
[16:14] <kiran_> hi
[16:15] <k1l_> Snackerr: no. are you trying to make a bootable usb?
[16:15] <Snackerr> k1l_,  okay, i'll try to repeat the whole procedure, when i have a 2nd laptop again , thanks
[16:16] <Snackerr> k1l_,  no. no bootable needed for now.  but that is the same program i use to make bootable disk:  GNOME-DISKS > "restore Image".   is that the "proper way"?
[16:18] <sphrak> hi folks, id like some advice on how to make a directory available (ro) for a friend over sftp and have the account restricted to only *that* dir I dictate. what would the best approach be? without using any program? im thinking /sbin/nologin?
[16:19] <sphrak> (other than sshd)
[16:19] <ikonia> sphrak: just chroot
[16:20] <sphrak> ikonia: sorry if my english is bad - but if chroot - would that mean I have to change the ownership of the directory I want the other user to read from? Ive read some about the chroot dir needs to be owned by root?
[16:21] <ikonia> sphrak: no
[16:21] <sphrak> ikonia: okay, so chroot via sshd_config and then match a group/user then? is that the method you are referring to?
[16:22] <ikonia> sphrak: basically
[16:22] <tertiary> i created a new raid array and its currently in the state of "clean, degraded, recovering". does this mean that i didnt delete the old array properly, or can that happen on a new configuration?
[16:22] <sphrak> ikonia: cool. thank you
[16:22] <ikonia> tertiary: it means it's building after having a problem
[16:23] <tertiary> ikonia: so if i stopped it  and rebuilt (zero superblocks)  the array would it do it again? i dont care about the data...
[16:23] <ikonia> tertiary: do what again ?
[16:26] <tertiary> iknoia: hhmm, nevermind, thanks though. think ill just let it do its thing. is it safe to use the array when there is 1/6 disks rebuilding?
[16:27] <ikonia> tertiary: the more you use it, the slower it will be
[16:28] <kimish> Hi there ! when i boot ubuntu i dont get to the login page i get directly a shel promt , pressing ctrl+alt+f7  doesnt get me back to the log in page , PLEASE HELP
[16:28] <ikonia> no need to type IN CAPS
[16:29] <kimish> ???
[16:29] <ikonia> you don't need to type in caps kimish
[16:29] <kimish> ok
[16:30] <kimish> ikonia
[16:30] <potato_farmer> so you had no tips for him? just a comment about him using caps?
[16:31] <k1l_> Snackerr: burning an image to a usb can be done with several programs. i use the terminal command "dd" which is most failureproof since there is nothing making changes to the image.
[16:31] <niklas> anyone needs help?
[16:31] <potato_farmer> kimish, log in and type: startx
[16:31] <nacc> kimish: have you ever gotten to the login page? did something change recently?
[16:31] <potato_farmer> does that do anything?
[16:32] <OerHeks> startx is the old way, potato_farmer ..
[16:32] <k1l_> potato_farmer: ranting and giving bad advice is even worse
[16:32] <k1l_> kimish: dont run startx
[16:32] <ioria> better sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service
[16:32] <sethj> is seahorse broken in 16.04 for anyone else?
[16:32] <OerHeks> sudo service lightdm start is working beter ..
[16:32] <kristijanz> Hi, I need assistance in resolving a radeon gpu problem on Ubuntu 16.04. In this doc I described the problem and linked some logs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15Vtw-gmDesxuHoJTYY8IqvhFBXv-dbQdRpnP6HLSn6k/edit?usp=sharing Thanks to anyone who takes the time to look at it!
[16:33] <kimish> nacc ; yes i was able to get to the log in page but i couldnt pass it i kept having loops and stuck in the login page , i tried some solutions found it in the nest and today morning i have lost access to the log in page completly !
[16:34] <kristijanz> basicly, my radeon dgpu is not used by the os which uses Intel on board graphics instead and heats up my cpu over 100°C.
[16:34] <OerHeks> kristijanz, if there is an bios update, go for it.
[16:34] <nacc> kimish: it's hard to figure out what is wrong if you tried some solutions and didn't revert them. Are all the solutions you tried still in effect?
[16:35] <potato_farmer> k1l_: better to suggest something than just complain about someone's caps, and startx was just a suggestion to see if it would get a GUI, calm yourself
[16:35] <k1l_> kimish: sounds like a video driver issue. what video card is it and what driver in use?
[16:35] <kristijanz> OerHeks, I'll do that. Thanx
[16:35] <kimish> k1l ; nvidia card nouveau driver
[16:36] <ioria> kimish, sudo lshw -c Video | grep driver
[16:42] <blinkyb__> Hi ppl
[16:42] <blinkyb__> I have problem installing Budgie since yesterday
[16:43] <blinkyb__> I deleted all PPAs and when I try insalling again it says 'broken packages'
[16:46] <Bashing-om> blinkyb__: Show the channel, in a pastebin ' sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade ' . See what the error is in the context .
[16:48] <blinkyb__> Bashing-om: http://pastebin.com/rdvqwhj3
[16:49] <blinkyb__> Bashing-om: the error when i do 'sudo apt-get install budgie-desktop
[16:50] <k1l_> blinkyb__: "sudo apt full-upgrade | nc termbin.com 9999"
[16:52] <blinkyb__> k1l_: WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
[16:52] <k1l_> blinkyb__: please link the url
[16:53] <blinkyb__> k1l_: http://termbin.com/igo3
[16:53] <k1l_> blinkyb__: budgie desktop is not in the ubuntu repos. so you need a PPA for that
[16:55] <k1l_> blinkyb__: use this ppa: ppa:budgie-remix/ppa
[16:55] <OerHeks> yesterday you had more than one ppa added, now you removed all ppa's, start again with the one that is suited for 16.04 ..
[16:56] <k1l_> there are a lot of unmaintained ppas. this is the only maintained afaik
[16:57] <Ilmen> Hello everybody. I have Ubuntu LTS 14.04 64 bits, and tried several times to upgrade it to Xenial, to no avail. Everytimes it tells me something along the lines of "Cannot evaluate the upgrade. An unsolvable problem occurred during the preparation for the upgrade." Then it says it might be due either to an upgrade to or from a development version of Ubuntu, or unoffical packages.
[16:57] <blinkyb__> k1l_: http://termbin.com/b2fc
[16:57] <blinkyb__> k1l_: same issue, been doing this since yesterday
[16:57] <ikonia> Ilmen: do you have either of those two situations ?
[16:57] <Ilmen> How can I get more details on the cause of the upgrade failure?
[16:57] <k1l_> blinkyb__: what exactly?
[16:57] <ikonia> Ilmen: and how are you trying to upgrade as 16.04 should not be offered until 16.04.1 is available
[16:58] <k1l_> blinkyb__: last days you had a lot of different gnome3 and other PPAs. that will make a mess since they all change packages. so we need details what exactly is the error
[16:58] <blinkyb__> k1l_: check this: http://pastebin.com/Q7gvHzAg
[16:58] <Ilmen> ikonia: I tried to allow upgrading to a development version, with "sudo update-manager -d" and alternatives commands
[16:58] <ikonia> Ilmen: so there you go then
[16:58] <blinkyb__> k1l_: i have removed all other PPAs
[16:59] <Ilmen> But why is that disallowed, @ikonia?
[16:59] <k1l_> blinkyb__: "sudo apt install budgie-core"
[16:59] <ikonia> Ilmen: why is what disallowed ?
[16:59] <Ilmen> Or rather, why is that a cause of upgrade failure?
[16:59] <ikonia> blinkyb__: removing ppa repo files is very different than removing all the packages and dependencies they have installed
[16:59] <k1l_> !ltsupgrade | Ilmen
[17:00] <ikonia> Ilmen: the development version is not 16.04
[17:00] <ikonia> thats stable now
[17:00] <k1l_> Ilmen: maybe some 3rd party or PPA package cant be updated. see the logs of the update-manager what the issue is
[17:00] <OerHeks> it is policy for LTS versions to get upgrade notice with the xx.yy.1 version, for years now
[17:00] <blinkyb__> k1l_: now this happened http://pastebin.com/ybkFiPWE
[17:00] <Ilmen> k1l_: Okay.
[17:01] <k1l_> blinkyb__: "sudo apt install libmutter0g"

[17:01] <MrAristo> What's the best way for editing a root read-only file?  I've had a resounding lack of success with sudo nano /path/to/file.
[17:01] <ikonia> MrAristo: it's read only - you don't edit it
[17:02] <sphrak> when using the internal-sftp directive in sshd_config - and it doesnt work - where do I find the logs of what went wrong?
[17:02] <MrAristo> ikonia, Yes, but...what if I want to?  It's an espeak-voice file - Nothing critical to the system.
[17:03] <ikonia> MrAristo: you dno't
[17:03] <ikonia> don't
[17:03] <ikonia> it's not a "but I want to" situation, it's read only
[17:03] <MrAristo> Ok, so why?
[17:03] <ikonia> why what
[17:03] <blinkyb__> k1l_: i made it this far http://pastebin.com/tHhQEbCQ
[17:03] <plll>  
[17:03] <k1l_> blinkyb__: "apt-cache policy mutter-common"
[17:05] <blinkyb__> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/HwQsMh0e
[17:05] <akik> MrAristo: you can add write permission on the file with chmod +w
[17:05] <ikonia> no you can't
[17:05] <ikonia> that will not change a read only file system
[17:05] <Ilmen> k1l_: I don't see anything relevant in /var/log/apt/history.log ; I guess I'd better wait for the official release date then.
[17:06] <MrAristo> akik, Thank you.
[17:06] <k1l_> blinkyb__: like i said: your packages from your gnom3 staging PPA, that are still installed. mess with your other PPA now.
[17:06] <blinkyb__> k1l_: what can i do?
[17:06] <akik> MrAristo: which file was it?
[17:06] <k1l_> blinkyb__: that is why you remove PPAs with "ppa-purge" and not just remove the repo link
[17:06] <MrAristo> ikonia, It appears I was mistaken - It appears root has read/write permission.
[17:07] <blinkyb__> k1l_: can you guide me through please?
[17:07] <ikonia> MrAristo: do you mean "you don't have permissions" rather than a read only file system
[17:07] <MrAristo> akik, It is the f5 file in /espeak-data/voices/!v/
[17:07] <MrAristo> ikonia, Yes.
[17:08] <Dewin> I seem to recall there being something like iostat that output only one line per device per update without the headers/etc being repeated.  Am I just imagining that?
[17:08] <k1l_> blinkyb__: try a "sudo apt-get --reinstall install mutter-common"
[17:08] <ikonia> MrAristo: next time describe the problem rather than say the wrong thing
[17:08] <akik> ikonia: mraristo did not mention a read-only file system
[17:08] <boriseto> I might get attacked since it's not a Ubuntu specific question, but I'll take my chances. Is there a way to make Chrome/Chromium open all *new window/tab* links be opened in Firefox?
[17:08] <ikonia> akik: yes he did
[17:08] <ikonia> ahh he said file
[17:08] <akik> ikonia: nope
[17:08] <ikonia> then it's my fault for not reading it properly, apologies
[17:08] <MrAristo> ikonia, I try not to make it a habit to say the wrong things.
[17:08] <ikonia> MrAristo: not at all, it was my fault not reading it properly
[17:10] <MrAristo> Honestly, It's been a long time since I've messed around with stuff other than basic user material in Ubuntu.  I'm still bringing myself back up to speed.
[17:11] <blinkyb__> k1l_: http://pastebin.com/RuF76edL

[17:13] <k1l_> blinkyb__: "sudo apt remove mutter-common"   after that "sudo apt install budgie-desktop"
[17:13] <k1l_> blinkyb__: in future use ppa-purge to remove ppas. that will at least remove the messy packages
[17:16] <blinkyb__> k1l_: i think it's working bro
[17:17] <MrAristo> So, trying to restart this accurately: Using sudo nano /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/espeak-data/voices/\!v/f5 and editing the file still results in a "Permission denied" message when attempting saving.  How do I go about properly editing the file?
[17:18] <marlo_> MrAristo, what are the mode flags on the file

[17:19] <marlo_> MrAristo, what about 'lsof | grep filename'
[17:19] <akik> MrAristo: how about the directory's permissions?
[17:20] <blinkyb__> k1l_: for some reason the Progress stopped %50
[17:21] <goddard> kdevelop doesn't find Qt libraries
[17:21] <marlo_> MrAristo, what is !v/f5  is there actually a '!' in your path?
[17:23] <marlo_> MrAristo, go to your f5 folder and 'touch test.txt' and see if you can create a file there
[17:23] <marlo_> or in your case, 'sudo touch test.txt'
[17:23] <marlo_> but do it in the folder
[17:23] <marlo_> and then try to nano your file there as well
[17:23] <marlo_> that ! in the path has me throwd off
[17:24] <MrAristo> Sorry for the lack of response, phone call with client.
[17:24] <blinkyb__> k1l_: installed, now what? restart?
[17:25] <marlo_> check in the mail?

[17:28] <MrAristo> marlo_, sudo touch.txt created the test file.  And yes, there is an actual "!" in the file path.
[17:29] <ikonia> sounds like it's not escaping it

[17:34] <C_minus> Since a kernel update the minimum backlight brighness has changed from fully-off to dim-but-still-on. How can I get this feature back, it's very useful.
[17:34] <reisio> probably your off is now mapped to 0%
[17:34] <reisio> which is rounded
[17:35] <reisio> better to map it to just turning your screen off, rather than lowering lights
[17:35] <C_minus> how?
[17:35] <reisio> how do you want it to work?
[17:36] <C_minus> Such that minimum brighness turns the backlight totally off.
[17:36] <C_minus> (That's how it used to be)

[17:58] <Tadpole_Jackson> I'm using php7 and apache2 under ubuntu server 16, and the php.ini file looks like it's for a windows version of php7. This is different than I usually find in a linux distribution. Is this to be expected?
[17:58] <Guest26171> Hi all
[17:59] <reisio> Tadpole_Jackson: in what way does it look like it's for windows?
[17:59] <reisio> Guest26171: hi; /nick anythingelse
[17:59] <Tadpole_Jackson> it references extensions as having .dll extensions, rather than .so extensions, and there are no lines present for .so extensions
[17:59] <Tadpole_Jackson> the .dll lines are commented out
[17:59] <Tadpole_Jackson> But the ini itself references win32 in comments frequently.
[18:00] <k1l_> Tadpole_Jackson: is this the original ubuntu package?
 do you use gtk# ?
[18:01] <Tadpole_Jackson> k1l_, yes, i've installed from official media and downloaded from default apt repos

[18:01] <Guest26171> what about gtk# executing in windows?)
[18:02] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: i see .. "For instance on Windows..."
[18:03] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: it's direct from php source, should be the same in all distributions, pretty much
[18:03] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: nad immediatley following is a .so line
[18:03] <Tadpole_Jackson> as en example, yes
[18:04] <Tadpole_Jackson> but I don't find the .so lines for enabling dynamic extensions
[18:04] <Guest26171> more precise, how good IL-files from linux run on Windows?)
[18:06] <Tadpole_Jackson> What i'm really trying to troubleshoot is that simple machines forum installer script indicates i have no database support, while i actually do.

[18:21] <tgm4883> slee: what are you formatting it as?
[18:21] <black-perl> Hi, I have set up a local domain alias `mothership.local`which resolves to my server IP by using hosts file of dnsmasq
[18:22] <slee> tgm4883, i've tried ext4 and ntfs compatible
[18:22] <black-perl> Dig is resolving it correctly but google-chrome and other browsers are not
[18:22] <slee> i'd like to just format it as ext4
[18:22] <black-perl> can anybody help ?
[18:22] <tgm4883> slee: ok, well I'm not sure about NTFS, but ext4 that sounds correct. You'd need to set permissions on it after formatting
[18:23] <slee> tgm, i've did(chown -R<etc>, but then when i try to copy a file to it, it still tells me read only
[18:24] <tgm4883> slee: you'd have to show us the output of "ls -l <mountpoint>" before we can help at all
[18:29] <zerowaitstate> does anyone know if certbot is available yet via ubuntu repo's?

[18:31] <Mordoc_Mystery> black-perl, I start it in interactive mode, enter server localhost or whatever and then query away
[18:32] <tgm4883> slee: ok, but we need that for one more level up. The GUID folder
[18:32] <Tadpole_Jackson> nacc, i don't know what that is
[18:33] <slee> tgm4883, ok, i think i see now, folder above: http://storage1.static.itmages.com/i/16/0608/h_1465410806_8894528_20b3ecf1fb.jpeg
[18:34] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: it's a command to enable modules in php (phpdismod is the opposite)
[18:34] <tgm4883> slee: ah wait. Have you tried not copying to lost+found? That is a special folder
[18:34]  * tgm4883 isn't even sure if you can copy into that folder
[18:34] <slee> tgm4883, i made a new folder"test" and tried to copy to there, same result..."read only"
[18:34] <black-perl> @Mordoc_Mystery Thanks for replying. I got it working
[18:35] <slee> tgm4883, even though you can see it's set for my perms(not root) and read/write perms
[18:35] <tgm4883> slee: well the fact that you can make a new folder means that it's not all read only :)
[18:35] <tgm4883> slee: if you make a new folder, what are the permissions on that folder?
[18:36] <black-perl> @Mordoc_Mystery  Actually the problem was the usage of .local domain i.e mothership.local ; these domains are handled by a service called as avahi-network manager
[18:36] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: i don't know what 'simple machines forum installer script' is, but i'm ugessing you are missing hte corresponding database module package
[18:36] <black-perl> @Mordoc_Mystery So there is supposed to be a layer between chrome and dnsmasq  which assigns such domains to avahi rather than dnsmasq :)
[18:37] <slee> tgm4883, created new folder: http://storage4.static.itmages.com/i/16/0608/h_1465411030_9698597_d99266446b.jpeg
[18:38] <tgm4883> slee: wth, that should work
[18:38] <slee> tgm4883, i know, this has been driving me crazy for the past hour
[18:38] <tgm4883> slee: did you make that folder on the USB drive, or did you make it somewhere else then copy it in?
[18:39] <tgm4883> slee: can you pastebin the results of the 'mount' command?
[18:39] <slee> tgm4883, on the usb drive
[18:39] <slee> via thunar
[18:40] <slee> tgm4883, i'm not manually mounting it, i plug the usb stick in, thunar sees it
[18:40] <tgm4883> slee: right, but it should still show the mount options
[18:40] <tgm4883> slee: although I don't expect to see anything special there
[18:41] <tgm4883> slee: also, can you chmod 777 that tgm4883 directory then try copying stuff in there?
[18:41] <slee> no, no options, i plug the stick in, it pops up as a drive on the left in thunar
[18:41] <slee> sure
[18:42] <slee> tgm4883,  same results, 'read only'
[18:43] <tgm4883> slee: any weird stuff in dmesg when you plug it in?
[18:43] <slee> tgm4883, nothing, drive just pops up in thunar like it should
[18:44] <slee> tgm4883, i'm gonna go try on a linux mint box, see if it works there
[18:45] <tgm4883> slee: ok
[18:45] <tgm4883> slee: have you also tried copying stuff in there from the command line? Not sure why that would matter but worth a try
[18:49] <Tadpole_Jackson> what php packages other than 7 are available in ubuntu 16?
[18:50] <slee> tgm4883, ok, plugged stick into mint box, file copied over with no prob, came back to this box, now it'll let me copy a file over...weird
[18:51] <OerHeks> Tadpole_Jackson, apt-cache search php*
[18:51] <tgm4883> slee: thats super odd

[18:52] <Tadpole_Jackson> >other than 7
[18:52] <Tadpole_Jackson> those are all php7 packages
[18:52] <MonkeyDust> Tadpole_Jackson  if you want something from outside the repos, you need a ppa or a .deb or so, but that's not supported here
[18:53] <k1l_> _CoolGuy_: this is #ubuntu. for debian you want to join #debian

[18:56] <OerHeks> Tadpole_Jackson, you need to do some silly tricks to downgrade php .. https://by-example.org/ubuntu-16-04-xenial-downgrade-php-7-to-php-5-6/
[18:56] <Tadpole_Jackson> OerHeks, awesome, thanks.
[18:56] <Tadpole_Jackson> yeah php7 apparently doesn't work with this
[18:57] <MonkeyDust> oh, an older version
[18:57] <OerHeks> which breaks support anyway .. why don't you upgrade your scripts? eventually you should.
[18:57] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: php7 is the only supported php in 16.04 :)

[19:00] <nacc> Tadpole_Jackson: what is the issue with the latter, presuming you are running the 'phpbb3' package?

[19:11] <ente_> Hello everyone, I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with two different nvidia gpus and a skylake i7 6700. I want to use kvm/qemu to run a Windows VM with one gpu passthrough. When I try to create a VM using virtual machine manager (or xml files) I receive the following error: "vfio: error, group 1 is not viable, please ensure all devices within the iommu_group are bound to their vfio bus driver" I am not so experienced with linux/ubuntu, however I kno
[19:11] <ente_> w what this error means, but I do not know how to fix it. Maybe someone can give me some advices in particular for ubuntu, because most tutorials/posts I have found are for the arch kernel linux-vfio. Details: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17126955/
[19:11] <nemith> Is there a channel better for packaging questions?
[19:12] <nacc> nemith: #ubuntu-devel, i'd say
[19:12] <nacc> nemith: there might also be #ubuntu-packaging
[19:12] <nacc> !alis | nemith
[19:12] <nemith> thanks
[19:12] <nemith> ubottu: cheers :)
[19:13] <k1l_> nemith: #ubuntu-packaging
[19:13] <Nytram> squinty that's only a temp solution, I'd have to do that every time I want to open a file.
[19:13] <nemith> So yeah alis doesn't work.
[19:13] <BluesKaj> nemith, you won't get much help if you question the written code for mature apps like network manager
[19:14] <ioria> Nytram, Properties -> Open with -> Set Default ?
[19:14] <k1l_> nemith: but that looks like its a debian sync anyway.
[19:15] <nemith> k1l_: oh interesting.
[19:15] <nemith> BluesKaj: "mature"
[19:15] <k1l_> !info network-manager
[19:15] <BluesKaj> yup. tried and true
[19:15] <nemith> Every time i upgrade ubuntu my problems are always around network-manager.
[19:15] <k1l_> nemith: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/network-manager
[19:15] <squinty> Nytram, use the "set as default"  to set a default app for a particular file flavour
[19:16] <Nytram> ioria that's what I'm trying to explain, I can right click a .avi for instance and select properties, but the "File type options" button does nothing when I click it. In Linux Mint it opens another option screen where you can change the default app to open the file.
[19:16] <k1l_> see the right side of the page. there it links the changelog and the maintainers.
[19:16] <nemith> Pretty much nm says my bug is fixed in 1.2.2 and asked me to test. I would like to create my own 1.2.2 package and upload it to my ppa.  The instructions i have found don't work for nm
[19:17] <BluesKaj> nemith, well you can always use thenetwork interfaces file and resolv.config and drop NM altogether
[19:17] <nemith> BluesKaj: It's a laptop, I connect to many networks.  I'd rather not
[19:17] <nemith> I'd like to patch the bug
[19:17] <nemith> just i can't figure out how to properly build the sucker

[19:18] <nemith> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1573720  <-- bug in question if anyone cares
[19:19] <Nytram> Ah! I changed the file manager to dolphin.
[19:19] <ioria> oh
[19:19] <Nytram> so I get that option on right click perhaps
[19:19] <nemith> apparently fixed upstream
[19:20] <de-facto> nemith "apt-get source <package>" then "apt-get build-dep <package>" then cd <package-dir> then drop your patch in debian/patches (and note it in debian/patches/series), maybe raise version in changelog then "dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc"

[19:35] <kimish> any Ideas
[19:36] <_vikrant_> kimish, i guess u need to be root to copy files to that pen drive
[19:36] <_vikrant_> u dont have write permission

[20:25] <chaotix> hey.  I am having trouble getting Comodo Antivirus to start up, my os is Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit.  The package itself was for 12.04, and so there was a dependency problem preventing me from installing the 64 bit, so I installed the 32 bit.  It installed, but it will not run.  When I try to launch it from the terminal, it says: "error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directo
[20:26] <Ben64> chaotix: don't run things for other versions
[20:27] <Ben64> chaotix: and you don't really need antivirus
[20:27] <chaotix> Ben64: i didnt realize that was a problem running something for another version..  i know i dont need it, i just wanted to check it out

[20:28] <chaotix> and then i got curious why it says "error while loading shared libraries: libpam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory", because i found libpam.so.0
[20:28] <OerHeks> chaotix, Comodo Antivirus is discontinued
[20:29] <bprompt> chaotix:    depending on the package and dependencies, you "can" run apps from other versions, but often times the older dependencies they may require, may not be available on the newer OS version, or may just not be installable even if you had it, due to a newer version or replacement lib
[20:30] <chaotix> ok, so it was probably because is a newer version of the libpam..
[20:30] <chaotix> thanks
[20:30] <chaotix> i just like testing out different software in my spare time, it's like therapy for me
[20:30] <chaotix> lol
[20:30] <Ben64> well try out software made for 16.04
[20:30] <Ben64> the ubuntu software center is a good place to look
[20:36] <chaotix> Ben64: i do like the sofware center, and also OMG Ubuntu is nice...  and Alternativeto.net is nice for finding software I might not otherwise find..  such as menulibre or nylas n1, or Tomahawk...  all great options..  however, then we sometimes get compatibility snaffoos that wouldnt happen in the software center, so it is definitly the safer bet

[21:18] <Laurenceb__> hi, anyone here used autopsy?
[21:18] <Laurenceb__> I'm trying to use it to recover files, but it can't seem to be able to open any directories
[21:18] <Laurenceb__> its very odd as the filesystem mounts ok on my system
[21:19] <teward> pnwise: not sure if that is able to really be persistent, but you could put that command into /etc/rc.local maybe, without the 'sudo', and it may be able to make things persistent (because it runs every boot)
[21:19] <pnwise> But if I make systemd service it doesn't work, while ethtool still reporting that wol is on g mode(magic packet), but it doesn't work
[21:20] <pnwise> teward, I will try that too, but I doubt it will make a difference
[21:20] <teward> pnwise: I didn't say to use systemd.  If it refuses to be persistent, then perhaps check something deeper than the OS level - BIOS or Firmware - where WoL can be enabled
[21:20] <pnwise> But it is working if I type the command
[21:20] <pnwise> just not if it is scripted
[21:21] <OerHeks> pnwise, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WakeOnLan make sure you use the right ethernet adapter name
[21:21] <superguest> How do I enable or disable the display of the grub menu?  In the initial version of grub.cfg (i.e. PRIOR to the first 'update-grub') the system does not show/display the grub boot menu
[21:22] <pnwise> OerHeks, I am sure, when it is in systemd service ethtools is reporting it is enabled, but it doesn't work, if I disable the systemd service and type the command in terminal, it is working
[21:23] <Bashing-om> danilonc: How did you install the driver ? Did you purge the old 1st ?
[21:23] <pnwise> let's see if rc.local make any difference, and will be back
[21:24] <m3n3chm0> hello how to fsck a NTFS partition ¿? fsck /dev/sda7
[21:24] <m3n3chm0> fsck de util-linux 2.27.1
[21:24] <OerHeks> pnwise, did you perform chmod a+x on the conf? a = all users
[21:27] <Bashing-om> superguest: If only a single instance of 'buntu is installed. not showing the grub menu is the expected behavior. Depending on the firmware (bios or EFI) ot is the shift key or the escape key to gain grub's attention to display the menu . One may edit /etc/default/grub to always show the menu .
[21:28] <Bashing-om> danieli:  How did you install the driver ? Did you purge the old 1st ?
[21:29] <pnwise> OerHeks, teward Thanks! It seems to be working fine in rc.local, have no idea why it doesn't work with systemd. Have to go ask poetering
[21:30] <teward> pnwise: usually things like one-liners like that, I drop in /etc/rc.local.  Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but systemd has quirks ;)
[21:30] <teward> /etc/rc.local runs last I believe
[21:30] <OerHeks> :-)
[21:31] <OerHeks> pnwise, i just see you missed this: did you perform chmod a+x on the conf? a = all users
[21:31] <pnwise> It might be something to do with the runlevels, but I am not so knowledgeable.
[21:31] <pnwise> OerHeks, yes, I made it proper service, enable it, everything.
[21:32] <pnwise> Thanks again, I am going to lay some tf2 now :D
[21:33] <posi> So can people give me a list of things and how to disable OOM, core dumps and all of that junk on my postgresql server
[21:35] <OerHeks> posi,  how about configure postresql properly ? putting a finger in a dyke does not prevent flooding
[21:35] <posi> I have core dumped postgresql recently
[21:35] <posi> it isn't perfect
[21:36] <posi> and it took out hte box trying to write core
[21:36] <posi> OerHeks: So, i think we have, i just need to not drop a 1TB core
[21:36] <posi> OerHeks: Or am i doing it wrong
[21:37] <voidvector0_> anybody using gnome on ubuntu?
[21:38] <xangua> ! Ask | voidvector0_
[21:40] <voidvector0> how can there not be a way to set transparency on the rest of gnome windows, but terminal works fine?
[21:43] <Jordan_U> voidvector0: Because choices need to be made about what features are generally useful, and gnome-terminal explicitly enables alpha transparency (which is not the same as just making the whole window contents partially transparent).
[21:47] <gleeco> big Q:  turning off coredumps in ubuntu involves several steps it seems.  just wondering if i'm  hitting all:  a.) /etc/default/apport is set 'enabled=0' b.) /etc/security/limits.conf with a setting '* hard core 0'   and c.) /etc/sysctl.conf with setting 'fs.suid_dumpable=0'
[21:58] <dreamaddict> I've installed libshout3-dev, for the extras (including source headers/files)...but I can't seem to find where Ubuntu has put the source files.  Unless they don't come in the -dev version of the package...
[22:01] <nacc> dreamaddict: `apt-file list` or `dpkg -L` will list files from a pacakge (the latter only for installed packages)
[22:01] <nacc> dreamaddict: are you looking for libshout's source?
[22:01] <dreamaddict> yes, the .c/.h files
[22:01] <dreamaddict> for use with a Lisp groveller
[22:02] <dreamaddict> I mean, not because I have to actually compile them, but because I need that kind of info for my code in another language...which might mean that I only need the .h files
[22:02] <dreamaddict> I still don't know where Linux "normally" puts this kind of thing because I haven't been using it for umpteen years :P
[22:03] <dreamaddict> although I must say, as a way to dip one's toe into the vast ocean of Linux, Ubuntu is by far the best distro I've seen
[22:04] <dreamaddict> there's a shout.h in /usr/include...maybe I am assuming wrong that they will be named libshout3?
[22:05] <noname> hi
[22:07] <nacc> dreamaddict: the files used to build a pacakge are obtained from the source package
[22:07] <nacc> dreamaddict: `apt-get source pkgname`
[22:07] <dreamaddict> ahhh there it is
[22:07] <dreamaddict> that's the command I didn't know (source)
[22:07] <nacc> dreamaddict: i don't know what a Lisp groveller is, so i'm not sure if that's what you're looking for :)
[22:07] <nacc> ok
[22:08] <dreamaddict> a Lisp groveller goes through C headers/.so files to automatically create foreign function bindings...so that I can code in C without having to code in C :P
[22:08] <nacc> dreamaddict: ah ok, bindings stuff
[22:10] <nacc> dreamaddict: so the rough layout is, for lib* packages: lib* is the runtime library needed to run applications that depend on it. lib*-dev are the development headers needed to compile against that library. `apt-get source lib*` will get you the source for building that package.
[22:10] <dreamaddict> fantastic
[22:10] <dreamaddict> thank you sir!
[22:13] <nacc> dreamaddict: yw

[22:30] <Monthu> help. Open source drivers not showing in 16.04? screenshot: http://imgur.com/HjSkKPF
[22:31] <OerHeks> Monthu, for what GPU ?
[22:32] <OerHeks> intel does not show indeed
[22:32] <Monthu> I have AmD
[22:32] <Monthu> integrated graphic
[22:32] <OerHeks> oh, alternative driver .. from a PPA?
[22:33] <Monthu> usually it shows the open source driver (xorg) next to the proprietary one
[22:33] <Ben64> 16.04 doesn't have proprietary amd driver anymore i believe
[22:33] <OerHeks> in your case, 'do not use the device' should roll back to the radeon driver i guess.
[22:33] <Bashing-om> Monthu: Release 16.04 then the only display driver now available is in the kernel .
[22:34] <Monthu> "Do not use" roll back to default open-source driver then?
[22:35] <Ben64> thats for your cpu, don't do that
[22:36] <Monthu> what should I do. I just need the open-source driver
[22:37] <OerHeks> oh amd cpu, not gpu ..
[22:37] <OerHeks> my bad
[22:37] <Monthu> yes
[22:38] <Ben64> Monthu: you already have the open source driver
[22:38] <Monthu> how to enable it?
[22:38] <Ben64> it's already enabled?
[22:38] <Ben64> can you explain what you're trying to accomplish
[22:39] <OerHeks> run lshw -c video, and look for the line with  driver=
[22:40] <OerHeks> lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
[22:41] <OerHeks>  /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test --print
[22:41] <Monthu> in prior versions of ubuntu, i had the option to select the xorg driver. I don't have that option anymore
[22:42] <Ben64> right, as stated twice already, 16.04 doesn't have proprietary drivers anymore for amd
[22:42] <Monthu> when u look at the image, it says "2 proprietary drivers in use"
[22:42] <OerHeks> 'xorg' driver would be the radeon driver
[22:42] <Ben64> and when you look closer at the image, it shows that one is for your wireless, and one is for your cpu
[22:43] <Monthu> I know. I'm talking about the cpu
[22:44] <Monthu> usually I get something like this http://www.aplikasipc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Update-Software-Ubuntu.jpg
[22:44] <Ben64> right, as stated thrice already, 16.04 doesn't have proprietary drivers anymore for amd
[22:44] <OerHeks> no fglx ..
[22:45] <Ben64> there isn't anything after "thrice" please don't make me repeat it anymore
[22:45] <Monthu> :) ok
[22:45] <Monthu> sorry
[22:45] <Monthu> thanks for the help
[22:46] <OerHeks> updated wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[22:46] <Bashing-om> Monthu: 16.04 release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes ; " When upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 from a previous release, both the fglrx driver and the xorg.conf will be removed, so that the system is set to use either the amdgpu driver or the radeon driver (depending on the available hardware)."
[22:46] <rcw2> hi ive been running xenial for a couple months without major issues but starting a few days ago especially chrome, firefox and thunderbird have been crashing over and over again.  im updated and upgraded.  any suggestions?  is there some major problem of note in recent pushes?
[22:46] <popey> rcw2: what graphics card?
[22:47] <popey> rcw2: I am on xenail and haven't seen crashes
[22:47] <Monthu> thanks Bashing-om
[22:47] <Monthu> I get it now
[22:48] <thyri> I'm back!
[22:49] <Bashing-om> Monthu: AND is working hard to give us what we asked for . A fully functional open source driver in the kernel.
[22:52] <rcw2> popey, yeah its bad, ive even had to use Windows! to complete some tasks... ughh! Using this, which is very mainstream: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
[22:52] <william_> VGA?
[22:52] <william_> hmm
[23:02] <thyri> So Ubuntu is still really new to me...  I managed to install Pidgin IM using the Ubuntu Software Center, but now I don't know how to open it so I can use it.  Help! Please...
[23:03] <OerHeks> alt f2 : pidgin
[23:04] <OerHeks> or scroll through the menus, it is an internet application [hint]
[23:04] <bigdissaved> Hey
[23:05] <thyri> Um, OerHeks, can you be a little more specific with what you mean by scroll through the menus?
[23:06] <bazhang> thyri, have you had a read of the pidgin user guide, #pidgin channel can assist
[23:07] <OerHeks> depends on what ubuntu version, for plain ubuntu hit the top left icon and search trhough the menus
[23:08] <OerHeks> or alt f2 ..
[23:08] <thyri> Yeah found it with alt f2.
[23:08] <thyri> also found it with the top left button.
[23:09] <thyri> Ok so what is that top left button called?  It seems to be the equivalent of the Windows Start menu.
[23:09] <thyri> And as I was searching Google yesterday I saw "Nautilus" mentioned but it didn't specify what it was.
[23:09] <thyri> I need Ubuntu for Dummies lol
[23:09] <thyri> I have v 14.04
[23:10] <xangua> ! Manual | thyri
[23:10] <bazhang> !manual | thyri
[23:10] <thyri> !manual
[23:10] <thyri> erm
[23:10] <thyri> is that a terminal entry?
[23:10] <bazhang> !rute | thyri
[23:10] <thyri> ah there it is
[23:10] <thyri> ok...
[23:10] <bazhang> http://ubuntu-manual.org/ <----- thyri
[23:10] <thyri> looks like I have a lot of reading to do lol
[23:11] <OerHeks> ubuntu for dummies is an insult, grinn
[23:14] <rcw2_> lately my browsers and thunderbird app have been crashing quite often... so often that ive needed to use another machine for some things for the interim.  i have this graphics card... what advise can anyone offer?  just assume its a bug in one of the latest pushes and wait until they identify and fix it?  using xenial.  all upgraded. this graphics card: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
[23:15] <codfection> welcome to ubuntu world. ^ rcw2_
[23:15] <rcw2_> codfection, ive been using ubuntu for like 4 years and this is the first time things have crashed liked this... and for days on end
[23:17] <codfection> where do you live? rcw2_
[23:17] <rcw2_> codfection, californ i a
[23:17] <rcw2_> you?
[23:17] <codfection> Cool.
[23:17] <codfection> I have seen many peeps
[23:17] <codfection> using OS X
[23:17] <codfection> in california
[23:17] <codfection> hehe
[23:17] <codfection> I am not from US
[23:17] <codfection> actually.
[23:18] <OerHeks> thats helpfull, codfection
[23:18] <codfection> ^ Could you offer some help? OerHeks
[23:18] <rcw2_> codfection, yeah, a lot of apples around here for sure
[23:18] <bazhang> !ot | codfection
[23:19] <codfection> actually its not out of topic. he is asking why is ubuntu crashing and I am giving him options to solve
[23:19] <OerHeks> hard to say why browsers crash, on what pages, tried to fix by deleted profile, and such
[23:19] <bazhang> codfection, take the chat elsewhere
[23:19] <codfection> chill ^
[23:20] <codfection> I also keep getting sudden crash reports in 16.04 Xenial
[23:21] <k1l_> start the browser in a terminal and keep that terminal opened. than see what errors are written there when the crash of the browser happens
[23:22] <codfection> k1l_, my firefox lags
[23:22] <codfection> on ubuntu
[23:22] <codfection> do I need to re install it?
[23:23] <codfection> chrome is smooth. maybe coz firefox was built in with the installation of ubuntu
[23:23] <k1l_> codfection: you can try to start with a clean profile and see if that helps.
[23:24] <codfection> actually I didnt log into any profile.
[23:26] <k1l_> codfection: talking about browser profiles. your browser creates one on first start.
[23:26] <apb1963> ubuntu 14.04 I can't get pidgin to recognize my sound card.
[23:27] <chaotix> hey.  in Ubuntu Mate 16.04, what is the setting where the window you are dragging becomes transparent called?  i want to enable this in compiz but i dont know what it is called

[23:30] <chaotix> bye
[23:37] <LordDragon> hey all. is there an easy way to find out how many users are logging in to my ubuntu server via ssh ?
[23:38] <Bashing-om> LordDragon: 'who' ?
[23:38] <LtL> LordDragon: ssh in and type 'who'
[23:38] <LordDragon> ah ok
[23:39] <LordDragon> perfect. thanks
[23:48] <apb1963> anybody know of an instant messenger client that works?  voice/video included?  works with yahoo?
[23:49] <apb1963> ubuntu 14.04
[23:53] <thyri> apb1963 Pidgin works with YIM and a bunch of others but I don't know if voice/vid works.  find it at the ubuntu apps site.
[23:54] <nomoney4me> hi all, I am trying to connect to an MSSQL database.  It seems that I can connect to 1 already.  but this 2nd one doesn't work, keep getting timed out, is it a driver issue?
[23:55] <rcw2_> nomoney4me, amazon?
[23:55] <nomoney4me> rcw2_, not amazon, my own server that I am hosting on my network.
[23:57] <nomoney4me> I am using this driver: libmsodbcsql-11.0.so.2270.0   it connects to oracle v11 just fine, but it's having connecting to oracle v10
[23:57] <nomoney4me> having problem*
[23:57] <apb1963> thyri:  Pidgin doesn't do voice/video yet... possibly with xmpp but YM is what I need today.
[23:58] <nomoney4me> has there been reports of this?
[23:58] <apb1963> I have it installed, I've used it for months.. but no voice/vid
[23:58] <Edisto> where do you disable the alt + clicking that moves windows in the ccms?
