[00:05] <Cursarion> hmmm, I don't seem to get sftp-server to work

[01:00] <azizLIGHT> when i open programs using crossover linux, the icon on the launcher is wrong: http://i.imgur.com/Tvu0DfB.png
[01:01] <azizLIGHT> however when i open programs in wine, the icons are grouped seperately and iconed properly for the same programs: http://i.imgur.com/FqD7cdC.png
[01:02] <azizLIGHT> how can i fix this
[01:03] <azizLIGHT> as in, make crossover linux behave like wine, where all programs are grouped seperately and iconed as per their program icon
[01:03] <azizLIGHT> in the launcher
[01:03] <azizLIGHT> dont want this: http://i.imgur.com/RwZZWXL.png
[01:04] <azizLIGHT> afaik, that is the teamviewer icon
[01:05] <wilornel1> Hey guys! I'd like to install packages using apt-get in my /home directory
[01:06] <xangua> wilornel1: why?
[01:08] <wilornel1> I am running ubuntu in a VM. I did not assign the partitions correctly. I think I did 4gb for the OS, 4gb for home, and 4gb for swap
[01:08] <wilornel1> let me double check the actual sizes
[01:08] <wilornel1> but basically the partition for the os is too small
[01:08] <wilornel1> when I try to apt-get install, I get a "Write error - write (28: No space left on device)"
[01:09] <Jdknrkl> Why can i use a password to my channel?
[01:10] <OerHeks> wilornel1, start a fresh vm install with 20gb or so
[01:10] <wilornel1> could I change the partition sizes, so I do not need to reinstall everything?
[01:10] <OerHeks> Jdknrkl, join #freenode for channel help
[01:13] <serversides> I have a laptop with win10 on it and want to install ubuntu because it runs really slow.  It has 4gb ram and the processor is a Pentium bought only a few months back.  Will 16.04 run ok on this or would I need a lighter version?
[01:13] <wilornel1> Can I have a partition for solely the OS and one for additional packages?
[01:14] <cihhan> Hi all! I would like to build personal secure deb repo that requires SSH key as explained here: https://debian-administration.org/article/513/Restrict_Access_To_Your_Private_Debian_Repository Do you have any suggestions on how to build such a repo?
[01:15] <tonyt> serversides 16.04 should run fine with 4gb of ram
[01:15] <cspack> wilornel1: there's not much point in separate partitions in a VM
[01:15] <tonyt> serversides once you have 16.04 you can always install different desktop encirements like lxde or mate
[01:16] <wilornel1> cspack: Good point
[01:17] <bynarie> im having some weird problems with logging in, it keeps saying failed to authenticate after entering my password, but the password is correct. reboot and it works, maybe next reboot it doesnt. anyone have any ideas?
[01:17] <bynarie> xubuntu 16.04
[01:18] <serversides> tonyt: Thanks, I look forward to finally getting rid of win10.  :D
[01:18] <tonyt> :)
[01:22] <ItalianStallion> Is there a program similar to winrar available for linux?
[01:23] <tonyt> ItalianStallion Peazip
[01:23] <tonyt> http://www.peazip.org/peazip-linux-64.html
[01:23] <bynarie> ItalianStallion, u can install rar support on buntu
[01:24] <ItalianStallion> oh, well i downloaded winrar but it says its command line only
[01:24] <OerHeks> !rar
[01:24] <ItalianStallion> and i also downloaded the gui thing for it called GnomeRAR
[01:24] <ItalianStallion> so how would I use that
[01:26] <Tex_Nick> doesn't standad buntu archive app handle rars ?
[01:26] <Smn> I followed this to remove java from my system http://askubuntu.com/questions/84483/how-to-completely-uninstall-java
[01:27] <de-facto> !info file-roller
[01:27] <de-facto> ItalianStallion ^^
[01:27] <smn_> and strangely enough I'm getting this when typing java into the console. "java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[01:28] <smn_> now, the strangest part, is that if I run java with sudo, I get command not found(which is the expected output)
[01:29] <smn_> could anyone shed some light os to why im still getting that error when running java with user permisson?
[01:29] <de-facto> smn_ "which java"
[01:29] <de-facto> searches in $PATH
[01:29] <smn_> everything java
[01:29] <de-facto> which is a command
[01:30] <smn_> oh, somehow i didn't see the quotation marks
[01:30] <smn_> looks like there's still a binary in my home folder
[01:30] <smn_> that was it, thanks, de-facto
[01:31] <de-facto> np :)
[01:36] <l3h4> Hi, i cant delete one file from terminal command... I write "rm Thunderbird Mail", but, dont delete becouse he read "thunderbird" & "mail".. I have writed "Thunderbird_Mail", and "Thunderbird-Mail", but dont work!! Who can help me?
[01:37] <de-facto> the TAB key completion?
[01:37] <jagunco> l3h4, you should do "rm Thunderbird\ Mail"
[01:38] <smn_> adding the name between quotations might work
[01:38] <jagunco> l3h4, or as de-facto suggested, "rm Th", <tab>, <Enter>
[01:38] <smn_> ' these ones
[01:39] <Bashing-om> l3h4: The space is a delimiter in linux .. thus thunder bird is two entities . to make it one, as above,  escape the space with the '\' character .
[01:41] <sonicabt> Hey guys, I need help with my sound and microsd card slot. I installed ubuntu 16.04 on my ASUS Vivobook e200HA, and since beginning the kernel doesn't recognise my microsd card slot and sound card.
[01:41] <l3h4> I have write "rm Thunderbird\Mail", "rm Thunderbird\ Mail", "rm Thunderbird \ Mail" but dont work...
[01:42] <sonicabt> Current kernel version: 4.4.0-24 generic
[01:42] <jagunco> l3h4, and what about tab completion?
[01:42] <sonicabt> can someone help me get them working?
[01:43] <jagunco> l3h4, which is specifically the error that pops up when you try to do this command?
[01:45] <l3h4> "impossible remove "Thunderbird \ Mail": File or directory doesnt exist.
[01:45] <rahtgaz> Hello all. I did a search for weechat on the software manager, but it didn't find it. Isn't weechat in ubuntu repositories? I have Universe enabled on the settings
[01:46] <Bashing-om> info weechat | rahtgaz
[01:47] <Bashing-om> !info weechat | rahtgaz
[01:48] <rahtgaz> so why doesn't it show? Do I have to install synaptic to have full access to ubuntu repositories?
[01:48] <jagunco> sonicabt, try pressing the <super> key (also known as windows key) to open unity launcher then search for Additional Drivers app, open it and look for some non free drivers for your card, if there are some they will be in the list of additional drivers
[01:49] <jagunco> l3h4, is your file still there? looks like it were removed already
[01:50] <l3h4> I have resolved with "printf %q\\n *hunderbird*"
[01:51] <rahtgaz> I have just finished my first installation of Ubuntu. I'm planning to move into this as my default distro. But apparently I cannot have full access to ubuntu distros until I i8nstall Synaptic. Is this by design?
[01:52] <rahtgaz> s/ubuntu distros/ubuntu repositories
[02:00] <squinty> rahtgaz, synaptic is just one of several methods of obtaining/updating software.  If you are using the gnome-software interface currently in 16.04, afaik, there are few bugs that need to be fixed.  You could also use/install software-center which was the default package manager in pre 16.04 releases.  If your are comfortable with typing/commandline then you could also us "apt" for accessing the packages repositories
[02:01] <Craigwell> Anyhow, anyone recommend a method I can send a large file over my network and graph the transfer rate over time ?
[02:01] <rahtgaz> squinty: thank you for confirming it to me. I'm confortable with both synaptic and apt since I'm moving into Ubuntu from Mint. I'll stick to those
[02:01] <Craigwell>  i can hardwire one laptop on the powerline extender output end, and send something via 32gb usb key over my r7000 AP directly
[02:02] <squinty> rahtgaz,  yw   used to be a mint user myself at one time too. :)
[02:02] <Craigwell> that way it's going directly from router to the client on the end of the extender... I want to examine fluctuations in transfer rate over time, so that I can try and fine tune my extender performance
[02:07] <snail> hello
[02:10] <nomic> !es
[02:20] <sonicabt> jagunco, thank you. I'll try that and see if it works.
[02:20] <W00dP3ck3r> Which languare is ubottu speaking on?

[02:27] <R4F_Debian> Hi all, that is my first time here. I don't know Ubuntu yet, I'm a Debian User and would like to know what are technical differences between your System and Mine

[02:29] <crafty1> R4F_Debian: Are you asking the difference between the distributions?
[02:30] <sonicabt> this is the error i get.
[02:30] <R4F_Debian> yes, but through a technical point of view. Surely there are some differences, but what are they ?
[02:31] <some_guy> wilornel1: a
[02:32] <crafty1> R4F_Debian: That's a pretty broad question.  Ubuntu is based on Debian GNU/Linux.  Their approach to bundled software is slightly different.  Most noteably to some users wireless firmware upon attempting install.
[02:32] <TrentH> crafty1:  Can you help me please?
[02:34] <Bashing-om> !help | TrentH
[02:35] <TrentH> I have asked my question :P
[02:35] <Bashing-om> TrentH: :( My bad .. did not recall that you has asked . sorry .
[02:35] <glass> what command to show all ips connected to my router?
[02:36] <R4F_Debian> I see, crafty1. Well, I downloaded Ubuntu for desktop here. I'll install it and do some tests. I've knew Ubuntu would/is support/ing ZFS natively. That sounded me Great for this Debian based Distribution
[02:37] <crafty1> R4F_Debian: Debian supports ZFS too
[02:37] <R4F_Debian> not natively, you need to install and configure dkms module for this purpose
[02:38] <crafty1> R4F_Debian: True.  But beyond the packaged UI Unity as default and some non-free firmware (wireless) there isnt a huge difference
[02:38] <R4F_Debian> and through dkms there are risks of crashing your system in several situations, something I don't have to be worried using it in FreeBSD, for example
[02:38] <R4F_Debian> I hope so, for Ubuntu uses Unity
[02:41] <R4F_Debian> Well, as I said you, I will install it and make some tests with Ubuntu desktop-oriented. Surely I don't intend to replace Debian anyway, for I use it for a long time and Love my Distro, but perhaps I shall adopt it for some home tasks here.
[02:41] <R4F_Debian> Thanks for your attention crafty1, that's very kind of you !
[02:42] <R4F_Debian> Bye all

[04:28] <OerHeks> or upgrade with the -d option
[04:29] <bynarie> would it be just as effective to use the /etc/cron.daily, hourly, yearly, whatever folders as using crontab?
[04:29] <OerHeks> sudo update-manager -d
[04:35] <iambatman> Hey guys I tried to install kubuntu (REALLY like the gui more then ubuntu) over a partition of a SSD that I had ubuntu installed to..
[04:35] <iambatman> It seems like I killed the windows bootloader
[04:35] <iambatman> and also now kubuntu wont install
[04:35] <iambatman> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17242922/
[04:35] <iambatman> stuck @ 33%
[04:36] <iambatman> Also #kubuntu is dead.
[04:36] <iambatman> maybe I should have installed ubuntu gnome
[04:36] <iambatman> is there any way to save windows?
[04:37] <cihhan> is there a way to create a restricted repo that allows only some users to get the packages?
[04:37] <stickybranches> iambatman, if you cannot boot into Windows, boot into live image of Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Ubuntu MATE or any other distro, and open Gparted, then from there delete the partitions you don't want and go ahead install it :)
[04:37] <stickybranches> iambatman, Windows should still be there as far as I know. Its just not booting due to the bootloader is missing
[04:38] <iambatman> I am booted into Kubuntu, trying what you are suggesting. thanks
[04:38] <bynarie> iambatman, have probably did not kill windows, you prolly just lost access to the boot menu,
[04:38] <bynarie> try sudo update-grub
[04:38] <stickybranches> iambatman, Install a Linux/Ubuntu DE of your choice and then it should too install grub along with OS+Prober THEREFORE, it should also detect windows!
[04:39] <iambatman> stickybranches: It's weird.. Kubuntu install froze at 33%
[04:39] <bynarie> iambatman, oh, your on the livecd, not full install?
[04:39] <iambatman> I found some stuff on it online, but don't understand any of it
[04:39] <stickybranches> iambatman, Weird :/
[04:39] <iambatman> right now im running off usb trying to install full
[04:39] <iambatman> and failing
[04:39] <bynarie> ok
[04:39] <bynarie> what video card?
[04:39] <bynarie> nvidia or ati?
[04:39] <iambatman> umm.. nvidia?
[04:40] <bynarie> try running the installer with nomodeset
[04:40] <stickybranches> How did you make the liveusb?
[04:40] <iambatman> unetbin or whatever its called
[04:40] <bynarie> ive had problems with installs freezing on nvidia card, believe it or not
[04:40] <iambatman> bynarie: it isn't getting that far
[04:40] <iambatman> its stuck at formatting
[04:40] <stickybranches> If you have a Windows machine next to you or at your disposal, download Rufus USB creator and Ubuntu derrivitive ISO of your choice (Kubuntu in your case)
[04:40] <bynarie> no no, i mean at the grub menu
[04:40] <iambatman> install seems to be 'stuck' at 33% - "Creating ext2 file system for /boot in partition #5 of SCS1 (0,0,0) (sda)
[04:40] <bynarie> there is an option to edit boot commands
[04:41] <stickybranches> Ahhhh
[04:41] <stickybranches> I know this!
[04:41] <stickybranches> You should only do this
[04:41] <stickybranches> I know why it doesn't work, I had similar problem with Ubuntu MATE

[04:41] <iambatman> I found that..
[04:41] <iambatman> but..
[04:42] <iambatman> that guy is trying to install to a USB?
[04:42] <stickybranches> iambatman, make this for your kubuntu setup: / partition (ext4) and 1 swap partition
[04:42] <stickybranches> THATS IT
[04:42] <stickybranches> Don't worry about boot and home partitions
[04:42] <stickybranches> just have 1 partition for root and 1 for swap
[04:42] <iambatman> Oh.
[04:42] <stickybranches> Its trying to write for /boot while there isn't any
[04:42] <bynarie> and please, use ext4 not ext 2
[04:42] <stickybranches> Give it a shot
[04:42] <stickybranches> Yes
[04:42] <stickybranches> Use ext4
[04:42] <iambatman> Ill need to reboot and try it and come back
[04:42] <stickybranches> Ok good luck
[04:42] <bynarie> good luck
[04:42] <iambatman> how big for swap?
[04:43] <stickybranches> How much ram do you have
[04:43] <stickybranches> ?
[04:43] <stickybranches> And space on disk?
[04:43] <iambatman> umm.. 16gb or 32gb
[04:43] <iambatman> lol.
[04:43] <stickybranches> ok 3GB swap
[04:43] <stickybranches> should be plenty
[04:43] <bynarie> i run 32gb of ram, no swap file at all
[04:43] <stickybranches> Some apps require swap
[04:43] <bynarie> but thats personal preference
[04:43] <iambatman> and i dont remember how much I allocated for linux install
[04:43] <stickybranches> or else they don't function properly
[04:43] <vader> hi
[04:43] <bynarie> well, ive never ran into a problem
[04:43] <iambatman> ok brb
[04:44] <bynarie> maybe i should create a small swap file
[04:45] <stickybranches> bynarie, if you have about 8+GB of RAM, I reccommend at least 2GB, if you don't want to swap to HDD/SSD, I also suggest you then swap to memory with zram
[04:46] <N8TheGr8> Hello all! I'm sure where to ask this, but I'm currently trying to set up JFFS2 on my router. I've never quite done this, can anyone offer help/point me in the right direction of where to ask? (preferably an IRC channel)
[04:46] <bynarie> maybe #dd-wrt
[04:47] <bynarie> dunno
[04:47] <ner0x> Does using @reboot in the current version of ubuntu only work for root or can you use it for regular users?
[04:48] <bynarie> stickybranches, do you know if using a /swapfile file would be adequate, or do i need an actual partition for swap?

[05:18] <stickybranches> IreallyAMbatman, Glad I helped you :)
[05:18] <IreallyAMbatman> stickybranches: !!! it was you! thanks mate! you're the best. Saved my OS!
[05:18] <Tex_Nick> *whole root issue
[05:18] <stickybranches> IreallyAMbatman, No worries mate :) Glad it solved the issue :D
[05:22] <IreallyAMbatman> so kubuntu is a little bit tougher to use then ubuntu, to switch drivers to nvidia, I install apt-get install nvidia-361 (or whatever version it was) but then how do I switch it over? Or is it automatic?
[05:25] <IreallyAMbatman> KDE driver manager gets stuck at "Collecting information about your system". And I don't know hwo to run it from the terminal to see if theres some sort of error
[05:27] <IreallyAMbatman> Damn.. everything in Kubuntu is broken
[05:27] <IreallyAMbatman> KDE driver manager.. SoftwareCenter
[05:28] <IreallyAMbatman> this sucks..
[05:28] <nicomachus> is this a fresh install?
[05:28] <IreallyAMbatman> yes
[05:28] <nicomachus> make sure your install medium is good, and reinstall.
[05:28] <lgmin111> lgmin
[05:28] <IreallyAMbatman> you mean the ssd?
[05:28] <lgmin111> no I am korean
[05:28] <lgmin111> sorry
[05:29] <nicomachus> IreallyAMbatman: the USB or DVD you used to install kubuntu
[05:29] <lgmin111> my nickname is lgmin111
[05:29] <IreallyAMbatman> nicomachus: Ohhh.. shit. yeah I guess a corrupt USB might corrupt everything huh?
[05:29] <terminal_crawler> IreallyAMbatman: Run the program then check the running processes, you should be able to get the program name
[05:29] <nicomachus> IreallyAMbatman: and watch the language, this is a family friendly channel
[05:29] <IreallyAMbatman> oops. sorry.
[05:30] <terminal_crawler> IreallyAMbatman: (Or use "ps aux | grep driver" should likely show the program that is doing the driver management)
[05:31] <IreallyAMbatman> terminal_crawler: thanks, its /usr/bin/kcmshell5 kcm_driver_manager
[05:32] <terminal_crawler> IreallyAMbatman: You should now be able to run the program in the terminal. Check the manual in case there are any debug flags you can set that might help you.
[05:32] <nikol968> is this working
[05:33] <nicomachus> yes
[05:33] <nikol968> im a first time here on chat
[05:33] <nikol968> and its already fun
[05:33] <IreallyAMbatman> Hahahaha... I tried to copy the outpot from the terminal.. ctrl-c does NOT copy in linux. Failsauce.
[05:33] <nicomachus> nikol968: welcome. this is for ubuntu support only. for chat, try #ubuntu-offtopic. for help, type "/join #freenode"
[05:33] <nicomachus> IreallyAMbatman: ctrl-alt-c
[05:33] <nikol968> thank you
[05:34] <nicomachus> ctrl-c is disabled by default in the terminal to discourage copying and pasting commands

[05:34] <nikol968> how many people are here
[05:34] <nicomachus> around 1500
[05:35] <nikol968> ok
[05:35] <nikol968> this is good for my english
[05:36] <nicomachus> nikol968: if you don't have a question about ubuntu, please chat elsewhere.
[05:36] <nikol968> ok noticed where can i go
[05:36] <OerHeks> nicomachus, read the topic before entering an iRC channel
[05:36] <nikol968> ok

[05:38] <Echo6> Hey, how do I go from 16.04 to 16.10?
[05:39] <nicomachus> Echo6: 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d'  support is in #ubuntu+1 since it's not released yet.
[05:39] <Echo6> No new release found
[05:39] <nicomachus> Echo6: best to install fresh, though
[05:40] <Echo6> No can do.
[05:40] <Echo6> :/
[05:40] <Echo6> Wish I could
[05:40] <OerHeks> sudo update-manager -d
[05:40] <nicomachus> It's a pre-alpha release... if you don't have the ability to install fresh, are you sure you want to risk a developmental OS?
[05:41] <Echo6> You misunderstand. The DVD drive I used to build the system cannot be put back in the system.
[05:41] <nicomachus> Can you not boot a USB?
[05:41] <Echo6> I don't have an available thumb drive right now either.
[05:43] <Echo6> BRB - Reboot required.
[05:46] <Echo6> It installed some stuff but I'm still on 16.04
[05:47] <Echo6> Still can't install what I need to.
[05:47] <zachary> hello

[06:18] <craptalk> anyone here?
[06:19] <craptalk> is there any power option on ubuntu>
[06:19] <terminal_crawler> bebin: Does it have any other headphone jacks that do work?
[06:19] <terminal_crawler> bebin: And have you tried the front headphone jack with known working headphones?
[06:19] <craptalk> like on windows to set it at normal mode or high performance?
[06:20] <Ben64> theres a power preference thing, you can set when the computer will suspend
[06:20] <Gotham> someone can help me? i downloaded this new version 10 minutes ago
[06:20] <bebin> terminal_crawler: there is no other headphone jack
[06:20] <Gotham> and i can't use "global find" anymore
[06:26] <Grorco> Hi has anyone been able to install screenlets on 16.04?
[06:27] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: there ? It has started again .. moving to lower resolution did not help .
[06:29] <gingitsune> Hey, chrome and firefox have no sound and they are the only applications that dont have sound
[06:30] <gingitsune> I googled around. Tried installing codecs, moving the appdata directory with no luck
[06:30] <gingitsune> The sound works in recovery mode
[06:30] <gingitsune> Running ubuntu 16.04
[06:31] <cnotes> hii all
[06:31] <Grorco> whats the sound coming from?
[06:32] <Grorco> well what is it supposed to be coming from?
[06:34] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Hey!
[06:34] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: So when you swapped to a different resolution, did you have to reconnect the display?
[06:34] <terminal_crawler> bebin: Okay. Have you tried the headphone jack with known working headphones?
[06:35] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler:  nope ... its just automatically doing that, connecting and disconnecting ..
[06:35] <Ben64> ZeekHuge: whats the issue?
[06:35] <terminal_crawler> bebin: Ooh! Sometimes with alsamixer, when you connect the headphones, the volume may not be the same and it might be mighted. Run alsamixer once the headphones are connected and check the volume levels.
[06:36] <Grorco> gingitsune: If you open up sound prefs does it show them playing sound under the apps tab?
[06:36] <bebin> terminal_crawler: yes i check everything in alsamixer
[06:36] <terminal_crawler> bebin: What does it have in alsamixer?
[06:37] <ZeekHuge> Ben64: Its the external Monitor, I am on lenovo thinkpad T430 , 14.04 and the external monitor is by Dell . So the external monitor works fine for like an hour, and then is start connecting and disconnecting on its own. I tried with other laptop, it was fine.
[06:38] <Ben64> how is it connected
[06:38] <ZeekHuge> VGA port
[06:38] <Ben64> monitor could be on its way out
[06:39] <ZeekHuge> Ben64: And after connecting, I used cvt and xrandr to get to higher resolution. But this works fine for sometime and then it starts this issue. and then even switching to lower resolution didnt help
[06:40] <SuperLag>  Is there a way to add an /etc/hosts entry during the install process?
[06:40] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: Ben64 : and surprisingly its working now. again :(
[06:40] <Grorco> why would you need to?
[06:41] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: I know the feeling with intermittent issues. They are (#$*&.
[06:42] <ZeekHuge> yeah .. I have to do my work ! and this !
[06:42] <SuperLag> Grorco:  is that to me? if so, it's for Chef bootstrapping. can't bootstrap the node unless it knows how to reach the Chef server
[06:42] <gingitsune> Grorco: Thanks, it just noticed that it kept turning of the volume
[06:43] <Grorco> gingitsune: NP hope it works out :)
[06:45] <osmanielhadi> salut
[06:45] <auronandace> !fr | osmanielhadi
[06:47] <Grorco> SuperLag: could you make your own iso and just change the host file before creating the start up disk
[06:48] <osmanielhadi> no it's ok !
[06:48] <osmanielhadi> tks
[06:55] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: With the overheating you mention, is it possible to enable that card for a short while to test whether it can connect properly to the monitor?
[06:55] <zechfdf> hi world
[06:57] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: Yeah I can do that,  once the monitor starts misbehaving again.
[06:58] <terminal_crawler> It might though be that the monitor is misbehaving because of the other chip, so you might need to enable it sraight away.
[06:58] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: ^
[06:59] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Have you by chance checked dmesg for any messages when the monitor starts misbehaving?
[06:59] <ZeekHuge> yeah okay. I'll try. but if that is the problem, I wont be able to use monitor :(
[06:59] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: yep already. Nothing there
[07:01] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Checked under root as well (sometimes not everything shows for a normal user)
[07:04] <lihgtuniverse> Ok
[07:04] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: I haven't checked it all yet, but it may be of use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/MonitorDetection

[07:29] <TelFiRE> Hello. I am trying to install Ubuntu on an i7/GTX 970 desktop. I verified the md5 of my USB boot device and it is right. It boots to choose between install and try, but neither works. Install puts lots of messages on screen and shows an Ubuntu graphic for a bit, but never goes anywhere. Try just goes to a black screen with an underscore
[07:31] <cihhan> is there a way to create a restricted repo that allows only some users to get the packages?

[08:00] <ubuntu817> Are they actually wiped or is it just a display problem?
[08:00] <giga-frost> wiped
[08:02] <ducasse> ak5: i guess you could include a systemd mount unit for the tmpfs.
[08:02] <ak5> ducasse: ah ok, so I add it to the systemd file, sounds good, thanks
[08:02] <ubuntu817> how'd they get wiped?

[09:22] <ikonia> why don't you just ask the actual quetion
[09:24] <lerner> how do I check what kernel is in use?
[09:24] <ikonia> uname -r
[09:26] <lerner> ok...
[09:26] <lerner> how do I invoke apport and get a copy of the output in a given directory?
[09:27] <ikonia> what ?
[09:27] <ikonia> what exactly are you trying to do ?
[09:27] <lerner> im testing a kernel
[09:28] <lerner> because I have a bug
[09:28] <ikonia> what's the bug
[09:28] <ikonia> or test
[09:36] <lerner> ikonia, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1589109 , now that im with the newest experimental kernel I want to upload apport again, so developers can see changes (if any), but I dont know if I run " apport-collect 1589109" will delete the already uploaded apport...
[09:43] <ikonia> lerner: did the new kernel fix this problem
[09:43] <ikonia> I don't think this really sounds like a legit kernel problem
[09:43] <lerner> ikonia, I have to turn the os down to know, but given im using a new kernel changes might interest developers
[09:43] <ikonia> and to be honest - I'd just login to launchpad and put that sort of detail in a comments box explaining what's going on and the info, it will be better formatting than passing it throguh aport
[09:44] <ikonia> lerner: you don't even know it's a kernel problem - yet you've flagged this as a medium kernel bug
[09:44] <lerner> ikonia, dont jump to conclusion, will you? I didnt flag it as anything, they did
[09:44] <ikonia> it's flagged as a medium due to the data you've given
[09:45] <ikonia> lerner: have you actually tried basic things like a halt

[10:01] <acosonic> I want user deda to act sam way as user bobo
[10:01] <ikonia> acosonic: you'd be better making a group and authing that group
[10:01] <ikonia> that seems like a VERY bad idea for go2linux though
[10:04] <Matumaros> Hi, I was finally able to get my Ubuntu to boot, thanks to ducasse
[10:04] <Matumaros> However, now I have the next issue, my WiFi adapter
[10:05] <nikhil__> hello
[10:06] <Matumaros> Following commands have worked on Debian to make it work, can I safely do them on Ubuntu too?
[10:06] <Matumaros> modprobe rtl8192cu
[10:06] <Matumaros> echo "050d 21f2" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id
[10:07] <ikonia> we don't know if they will work for you they will cause no damage though
[10:08] <Matumaros> ikonia: ok, I tried them just now, but I get "permission denied" on the second one, even with sudo
[10:08] <Fuchs> yes, because sudo doesn't work with >
[10:08] <ikonia> Matumaros: thats because you don't use sudo with a redirect
[10:08] <Fuchs> either use tee or   sudo sh -c "echo foo > bar"
[10:09] <Matumaros> Fuchs: tee? Sorry, I'm not so advanced with Linux
[10:09] <Fuchs> Matumaros: use the second variant
[10:10] <Guest92274> Hi! I'm running Ubuntu MATE 16.04 and can't set-up my printer. In system-config-printer it simply doesn't show up. It's a Brother HL-1430 connected via USB and it has worked fine in previous Ubuntu versions. Any ideas?
[10:10] <Fuchs> Matumaros:  sudo sh -c "echo "050d 21f2" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id"
[10:10] <Fuchs> oh, wait
[10:10] <Fuchs> Matumaros:  sudo sh -c "echo '050d 21f2' > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8192cu/new_id"
[10:10] <Matumaros> :)
[10:10] <Matumaros> I'll try
[10:10] <Fuchs> there we go, else the " will cancel each other out
[10:10] <Matumaros> Fuchs: yeah, that was what confused me a bit
[10:11] <Matumaros> it worked
[10:11] <Matumaros> yay :)
[10:11] <Matumaros> thanks
[10:11] <Fuchs> You're welcome :)
[10:13] <Matumaros> Fuchs: can you tell me where to put those commands so they are executed on restart? They get erased on restart
[10:14] <Matumaros> or perhaps there is another way to make my adapter work?
[10:14] <Fuchs> Matumaros: what version of Ubuntu?
[10:14] <Matumaros> 16.04
[10:14] <Fuchs> Matumaros: I'm afraid I did just join and not read any backlog, so I am not aware of the bigger picture, I just answered your sudo > question
[10:14] <acosonic> what do I do, I hate centos, I never have such retarded problems with ubuntu, aaarrgghhh
[10:15] <Matumaros> Fuchs: oh sorry :) My USB WiFi Adapter is not working (well, now it is because of the commands)
[10:15] <Fuchs> Matumaros: you can place it in  /etc/rc.local  with any text editor and sudo  (e.g.   sudo nano /etc/rc.local), afterwards ensure that the file is executable  (sudo chmod +x /etc/rc.local)
[10:15] <Fuchs> Matumaros: also in rc.local you don't need sudo, so you can directly put the echo command in it
[10:15] <Matumaros> On Debian I fixed it by putting them somewhere to be executed on system start
[10:15] <Fuchs> Matumaros: yeah, /etc/rc.local should be executed with root rights
[10:15] <Matumaros> Fuchs: alright, thanks, I'll try that
[10:15] <acosonic> centos is CRAP
[10:17] <acosonic> I do not have insert key on mac, what do I use to type in retarded vim ?
[10:17] <Guest92274> acosonic, i
[10:18] <acosonic> yeah I googled...
[10:18] <acosonic> thnx
[10:20] <ikonia> acosonic: maybe not calling a text editor "retarded" is a good start
[10:27] <lionking> what
[10:28] <lionking> what`s this??how to use??
[10:33] <miklcct> your mac is retarded, not vim
[10:33] <ikonia> nope
[10:33] <ikonia> lets stop refering to things like that please
[10:34] <miklcct> a keyboard not having an insert key is a retarded one because it cannot perform normally
[10:34] <EriC^^> no, it's a special keyboard
[10:34] <ikonia> it does have an insert key
[10:34] <ikonia> on the laptop you have to use a function key

[11:05] <foormea> hey there. i'm doing some tests with encrypted home. when i create a user with encrypted home with adduser --encrypt-home   i indeed get an encrypted home for that user, but if i login via ssh i have to manually type ecryptfs-mount-private to mount the encrypted home. can't it be done automatically at login?
[11:05] <dracconi> Hi, I installed Pantheon Desktop (eOS DE). The system name has changed from UBUNTU 14.04 LTS to eOS Freya, can i make it back ubuntu? Is reinstalling ubuntu-dekstop the solution that works?
[11:06] <bekks> dracconi: Grab an Ubuntu CD and reinstall Ubuntu.
[11:06] <dracconi> bekks: is this only solution?
[11:06] <bekks> Yes.
[11:09] <dracconi> bekks: but is this possible to not format home?
[11:09] <bekks> dracconi: IF /home is on a separate filesystem - yes.
[11:09] <dracconi> bekks: sooo... only not check to format, yea?
[11:10] <bekks> dracconi: And set the mountpoint to /home again.
[11:10] <dracconi> k
[11:10] <OerHeks> then your /home will have funny setting from eos, i would not risc that
[11:10] <dracconi> really?
[11:10] <bekks> Really.
[11:12] <JasonSome> got an error email today:
[11:13] <JasonSome> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/yVTJUMx9/
[11:13] <JasonSome> what to do?
[11:13] <bekks> JasonSome: So whats unclear with "file exists"? :)
[11:16] <OerHeks> Check to see if any of the compressed files (particularly all the *.1.gz fiels) have 0 bytes?
[11:16] <OerHeks> if so, delete it, and run logrotate again
[11:35] <EW1LN> hello all ! Have problem. Kubuntu. after startx from console (kernel "text") - no autorise wifi widget, but if in kernel "quet splash" all work fine.
[11:38] <hilbilly> I have a LUKS encrypted external hard drive.  Decided to move it internal, connected to SATA interface (sdd1).  luksOpen/luksDump both give me the error Device /dev/sdd1 is not a valid LUKS device.  Am I missing a step?
[11:39] <Matumaros> OK, so this is really weird. I was finally able to start Ubuntu after installation. I restarted and after that I couldn't start it anymore
[11:39] <Matumaros> I had the choice of choosing something with "EFI" or "Ubuntu" the first time
[11:40] <merb> hello, can somebody help me? i try to mount a nfs share on ubuntu, it actually won't work and gssd prints: ERROR: can't open /run/rpc_pipefs/nfs/clnt14: No such file or directory
[11:40] <Matumaros> The "EFI" think didn't work, but the "Ubuntu" did
[11:40] <Matumaros> then after restarting, "Ubuntu" option was gone
[11:40] <Matumaros> So I reinstalled and the same thing again
[11:40] <Matumaros> first time after install was able to start Ubuntu, second time not anymore
[11:41] <MonkeyDust> Matumaros  you've been struggling for days now... what was your initial issue?
[11:41] <Matumaros> My initial issue was that I got the message "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"  right after the Acer logo pops up
[11:43] <Matumaros> Now I was finally able to avoid that by manually selecting "Ubuntu" from the boot menu
[11:43] <Matumaros> but that option was only there the first time after installation
[11:47] <Matumaros> MonkeyDust: It's basically still the same issue
[11:48] <mbs> quick question, for video playback 1080 60fps, would a nvidia 730 or is intel 4400 be better?

[12:27] <ShekharReddy> how can i find the host name of a webserver in ubunut
[12:31] <IonutVan_> ShekharReddy, hostname
[12:31] <MonkeyDust> ShekharReddy  cat /etc/hostname
[12:32] <lerner> Im filling a bug on launchpad and they need this: needs-shutdown-log precise . Is that a command itself or do they need the shutdown log for precise pangolin (12.04)?
[12:33] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:33] <ShekharReddy> IonutVan_:   another quesn
[12:34] <ShekharReddy> what is the 'development-machine'  in ubuntu
[12:35] <ShekharReddy> which i came across while configuring a set up locally
[12:35] <ShekharReddy> FYI i use apache2 server
[12:35] <ShekharReddy> MonkeyDust:  ^^
[12:37] <ShekharReddy>  'local' => array('your-development-machine', ...)  is hould fill in this
[12:38] <MonkeyDust> ShekharReddy  if you don't get an answer here, there's also #ubuntu-server
[12:42] <ShekharReddy> it seems they are asleep
[12:42] <ShekharReddy> no response from there
[12:42] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Hey!
[12:43] <ioria> ShekharReddy, that's php ... what are you doing ?
[12:43] <mistralol> hum whats the correct way to add to /etc/network somehow ave it add a dummy interface with a bunch of static routes?
[12:44] <ShekharReddy> ioria:  yes it is, i need to config a setup locally
[12:44] <ioria> ShekharReddy, config what ? lamp ?
[12:44] <ShekharReddy> yes
[12:46] <ioria> ShekharReddy, development-machine is your machine
[12:46] <lerner> last reboot | less returns: reboot   system boot  4.4.0-23-generic Sun Oct 30 02:01 - 20:30 (-142+-5:-30) . what does (-142+-5:-30) mean?
[12:46] <ShekharReddy> my machine name ?? it is equivalent to hostname
[12:46] <ioria> ShekharReddy, i use php sometimes, but not with custom configs.... see if it helps https://laravel.com/docs/4.2/configuration
[12:48] <ioria> ShekharReddy, try that (fqdm) or the ip
[12:49] <ioria> *fqdn

[12:55] <andreas_pinaple> hello! Trying to find my HDD UUID to match a plex ntfs guide. but using "sudo blkid /dev/sdb" I can only fond the PDUUID, how du I find just the UUID?
[12:55] <akik> andreas_pinaple: "sudo blkid partition"
[12:55] <andreas_pinaple> yes, but that only finds the PDUUID
[12:55] <andreas_pinaple> I need the UUID
[12:56] <akik> andreas_pinaple: no, it shows you the partition uuid
[12:56] <andreas_pinaple> I literarly dosen't though
[12:57] <akik> andreas_pinaple: you tried to get the uuid off /dev/sdb which represents the whole storage device, not a partition
[12:57] <andreas_pinaple> oh
[12:57] <andreas_pinaple> that makes sense
[12:57] <MonkeyDust> andreas_pinaple  pastebin the output of   sudo blkid ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[12:57] <andreas_pinaple> there we go, that worked. thanks.
[13:00] <Charlie> hi everbod
[13:00] <Charlie> can u read me?
[13:01] <MonkeyDust> Charlie  it works
[13:01] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: Hey Charlie
[13:01] <Charlie>  thanks
[13:01]  * terminal_crawler mumbles "Its your birthday"
[13:05] <Charlie> ubuntu user: every time i reboot the laptop some of the letters of the keyboard are not working for a while...and then get back working again
[13:05] <Charlie> i have tried to restore the bios settings and updating it...but i cannot solve the problem
[13:06] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: Which letters, per chance?
[13:07] <Charlie> they are always: t, y, tab, ctrl left, f10
[13:08] <Charlie> i have tried some solution on ubuntu forum but it did not help. i am using a hp pavilion g6
[13:08] <Charlie> it is weird that after a while the keyboard get back working normal or by pressing a certain key
[13:09] <terminal_crawler> If they were in a similar "group" it might have been a 'stuck line' on the keyboard itself.
[13:09] <terminal_crawler> Once these keys work, is there any delay comparitive to the other keys?
[13:09] <Charlie> no
[13:09] <terminal_crawler> Do they intermittently stop working or only after a reboot?
[13:09] <Charlie> after every reboot and for a certain time
[13:10] <terminal_crawler> Hmm.
[13:10] <Charlie> in windows as well
[13:11] <Charlie> the problem showed up after I have overwrote the ubuntu partition
[13:11] <terminal_crawler> If it is Windows as well, that would suggest it is more a hardware or lower level software issue, as opposed to OS drivers.
[13:12] <terminal_crawler> To possibly isolate the partitions, could you test if the issue occurs if booting from a USB or Live CD?
[13:12] <Charlie> i would try to format everything and see if i can solve it
[13:12] <Charlie> but that is a drastic solution
[13:12] <terminal_crawler> (To determine if the overwriting of the partition was the cause or just a coincidence)
[13:13] <terminal_crawler> Let us try to avoid that scenario as much as possible :)
[13:13] <Charlie> i should try it
[13:13] <alberti> Guys do i look stupid if i use this? http://codepad.org/
[13:13] <Charlie> I agree :)
[13:13] <Charlie> thanks for the moment
[13:14] <MonkeyDust> alberti  wrong channel, this is ubuntu support
[13:14] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: No dramas at all. Let me know how the Live CD/USB goes.
[13:15] <terminal_crawler> Could also test with an external keyboard, but I am not sure how much information that will give us.
[13:16] <Charlie> ok, but actually i am not in the possibility to test the live cd
[13:16] <Charlie> i am not home
[13:17] <terminal_crawler> Ah okay.
[13:17] <terminal_crawler> But at least there are some options we can test when you do get home.
[13:19] <Charlie> ok, thanks, i ll look for you soon as i am ready
[13:19] <quarters> Hello. Is possible to loop though a list of commands that's saved as a variable "tar wget" to perform on one file in bash?
[13:19] <user2635> What command can I use to check if a particular package is already installed?
[13:20] <Fuchs> user2635: apt-cache policy packagename    will show it
[13:21] <user2635> thank you!
[13:21] <Litlotys> <- me made a win to linux ubunti switch, stuck into a firefox problem: at some point clicking menu extra / downloads doesn't show the downloads window anymore. Possible cause?
[13:22] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: Has the keyboard been cleaned recently?
[13:23] <Charlie> no
[13:23] <Charlie> i mean...i did not use any air compressor
[13:23] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: If you have done it before, you could actually open up the laptop and lift out the keyboard, to make sure that all of it is okay (nothing stuck on the connector cable)
[13:23] <Litlotys> and the Geary email client shows only an upper part of its menu click items
[13:24] <terminal_crawler> Maybe there is something under those specific keys that is meaning that during the initial boot, the key press is not "hard" enough to register a key press.
[13:24] <Charlie> ok, i can try
[13:24] <Litlotys> so I have to hover above the small areas in order to get an info 'balloon", so that I know what the button is for
[13:26] <everson> Hi all. How do I update my OpenGL drivers? I'm trying to run Steam on Ubuntu. It says I need to update my OpenGL drivers.
[13:26] <everson> Using Intel HD Graphics 4000 for what that's worth.
[13:27] <terminal_crawler> Charlie: I haven't seen something like this before, so I am trying to think of as many options as possible.
[13:27] <Charlie> yep...the keys not working are always the same
[13:28] <Charlie> but in a while i am going to open the laptop and make a good cleaning
[13:30] <everson> I think I need to update my Mesa driver to 10.6 (it's currently on 10.1)
[13:31] <user2635> I'm trying to set up a LAMP server on my laptop following this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#After_installing_MySQL.

[14:02] <Jakey3> can someone exmplain what sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf node-v5.1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
[14:03] <tom_> im having an issue
[14:03] <Jakey3> can someone explain what "sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf node-v5.1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz"
[14:03] <Jakey3> is doing
[14:03] <tom_> can I paste from the terminal...
[14:03] <tom_> sorry I am a massive noob
[14:03] <Jakey3> specifically --strip-components 1
[14:04] <Fuchs> JakesDen: you can use gksu(do) or kde(sudo) depending on your environment, or pkexec

[14:04] <SwedeMike> Jakey3: it is pretty well described in the man page.
[14:04] <MonkeyDust> tom_  paste it here, then paste the link in ths channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[14:04] <tom_> [+] Nothing done, nothing to save.
[14:04] <Jakey3> SwedeMike, ok
[14:04] <Fuchs> Jakey3: extract the contents of the gzipped tarball node-v5...  to /usr/local
[14:04] <hitlary_climinal> ctl + c
[14:04] <SwedeMike> Jakey3: "strip NUMBER leading components from file names on extraction"
[14:04] <Fuchs> Jakey3: x is extract, z is unneeded these days, but works (it's for gzip), f is force, the -C tells it where to extract to
[14:05] <SwedeMike> Jakey3: well, I guess "components" isn't obvious. I'd imagine it strips out directory hierarchy names.
[14:05] <SwedeMike> Jakey3: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_section/tar_52.html#transform
[14:05] <Jakey3> Fuchs, SwedeMike thanks for the info
[14:05] <JakesDen> thanks Fuchs, how do i do the name: thing in hexchat btw?
[14:06] <Fuchs> JakesDen: type the first few letters, then use the tab key. It's the same in most clients
[14:06] <JakesDen> Fuchs, k
[14:06] <JakesDen> it does a comma for me
[14:07] <Fuchs> yeah, that's configurable
[14:07] <JakesDen> how?
[14:07] <Fuchs> in the settings would be my guess, I avoid GTK applications and thus hexchat
[14:08] <JakesDen> i prefer gtk applications :)
[14:08] <Fuchs> and else definitely with one of the hundreds of /set commands it supports
[14:09] <JakesDen> theres to many things to set what do i do>
[14:09] <JakesDen> is it completion suffix?
[14:09] <Fuchs> /set completion_suffix   apparently
[14:09] <Fuchs> at least according to the documentation, try that
[14:10] <JakesDen> Fuchs:
[14:10] <JakesDen> there
[14:10] <tom_> what is the command to kill a process?
[14:10] <JakesDen> why do people have color names?
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> tom_  kill
[14:11] <JakesDen> and is there a way to hide the "person has quit/joined"
[14:11] <MonkeyDust> !quietirc | JakesDen
[14:11] <Fuchs> tom_: kill or killall, depending on whether you want to go by process id or name
[14:11] <tom_> i have the id and the name
[14:12] <tom_> so kill "name" or "id"
[14:12] <tom_> thanks
[14:12] <Fuchs> tom_: whatever you prefer, then
[14:13] <JakesDen> How can i host my own irc server and have it forward to a domain i own?
[14:13] <Fuchs> kill is the pid, killall is the name
[14:13] <SpikeSpiegel> hello there
[14:13] <SpikeSpiegel> i have a question
[14:13] <Fuchs> if you don't specify, that will send SIGTERM to the process
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> SpikeSpiegel  let's hear it, in one line
[14:13] <Fuchs> if that isn't sufifcient, you can use kill -9 to send SIGKILL, which can't be blocked. Don't do so unless really needed
[14:13]  * SpikeSpiegel sweats profusely
[14:13] <MonkeyDust> there's also pkill
[14:13] <Fuchs> JakesDen: just install whatever ircd you want on that host, freenode (The network here) uses seven, which is based on charybdis
[14:13] <terminal_crawler> And pgrep.
[14:14] <tom_> thanks really appriciate the help
[14:14] <Fuchs> JakesDen: probably you also want services, e.g. atheme (which is what freenode, the network here, uses)
[14:14] <tom_> sorry for been such a noob
[14:14] <Fuchs> JakesDen: for both you find plenty of manuals
[14:14] <Fuchs> tom_: no worries, we all were at one point
[14:14] <terminal_crawler> tom_: We were all noobs at one point. Don't worry :)
[14:14] <terminal_crawler> Fuchs: Snap.
[14:14] <JakesDen> can you send me a tutorial online? i want it on freenode if posible
[14:14] <hitlary_climinal> how to ubuntu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJsDOD0dTQI
[14:14] <SpikeSpiegel> if i have a hard drive. i connect it to my computer then install ubuntu on it. during installation i installed ssh server. then disconnect the hard drive from my computer and put it in other computer that does not have a monitor and connect ethernet cable. will that computer have ssh capabilities that i can then use to connect to it?
[14:15] <Fuchs> JakesDen: sorry, you want what on freenode?
[14:15] <Fuchs> if you plan to have your own server linked on freenode: won't happen, freenode doesn't work that way
[14:15] <Fuchs> what is your actual goal / usecase?
[14:15] <JakesDen> my own irc channel
[14:15] <Nobgul> SpikeSpiegel, no kinda rmember during install it installs drivers for your pc
[14:16] <Fuchs> JakesDen: then you can just create one
[14:16] <JakesDen> i just want somewhere i can chat with my friends via irc
[14:16] <JakesDen> can it be password protected?
[14:16] <Nobgul> SpikeSpiegel, So unless they are the same exact pc, then you will run into issues
[14:16] <Fuchs> JakesDen: join an empty channel and register it. Maybe freenode is not the right network though, as it is for free / open source software
[14:16] <Nobgul> JakesDen, Yes
[14:16] <SpikeSpiegel> but if you have to have freenode do ##
[14:16] <Fuchs> if you plan to have your channel on freenode, at least make it a ## channel, not #, as # is reserved for on topic projects
[14:16] <JakesDen> ?
[14:17] <SpikeSpiegel> Nobgul, ugh true. well you see the hard drive is going to end up on a computer without a monitor. i was wishing to install it like you would a rasp pi
[14:17] <SpikeSpiegel> Nobgul, as in you install it remotely then it allows you access via ssh. is that even possible with ubuntu?
[14:18] <Nobgul> SpikeSpiegel, I have never done a remote install of any *nix system.
[14:19] <SpikeSpiegel> ugh sucks. maybe its a #ubuntu-server question
[14:19] <Nobgul> Prob because its going to be headless
[14:20] <Nobgul> Someone in here may know, I just do not.
[14:20] <Jakey3> when i tried to install nodejs using http://paste.ubuntu.com/17256497/

[14:20] <l1meon> Hello, I need help to route all browser traffic through a specific port, how can I do that? For example I have multiple VPN clients on different ports, and I want to route specific browser through a specific VPN, how can I do that?
[14:21] <Jakey3> specifically i was using node-v4.4.5-linux-x86.tar.gz
[14:22] <Jakey3> on lub 16.04
[14:23] <Nobgul> l1meon, i wouldnt know how to do it all but you would have to know the PID of the individual browser window, then every time it opened or closed it would change.
[14:24] <l1meon> Nobgul, so if I know the pid, how would I rout its traffic?
[14:25] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: Would this be the area of web proxies?
[14:25] <JakesDen> i wish the dropbox for linux had a option where it didnt store any of your dropbox files on your hard drive but instead in a file manager of your choice you can right click some files and upload them to somewhere on your dropbox area.
[14:25] <Nobgul> Like i said i wouldnt knwo how to do it all, but thats where you start.
[14:26] <l1meon> terminal_crawler, I need to use the VPN clients that I have and no proxy, can I do it somehow with iptables? something like iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -dport xxx
[14:27] <MonkeyDust> JakesDen  a filemanager shows and lets you manage what's on your harddrive
[14:27] <JakesDen> i know that
[14:27] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: Like a default route?
[14:28] <JakesDen> MonkeyDust:  just i want a way when using caja to right click some files and select a upload to dropbox option
[14:30] <l1meon> terminal_crawler, not default, so for example, for the moment I have 2 VPN clients running on ports 1234 and 5678, now I want to route the browser traffic throug the VPN with 5678 port
[14:30] <MonkeyDust> JakesDen  not sure who has to deal with that, the ubuntu people or the dropbox people
[14:31] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: Like a default route?; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6632801/do-web-browsers-use-different-port-numbers-for-open-tabs
[14:31] <JakesDen> MonkeyDust: probably dropbox because they have the dropbox addons for stuff like caja and Nautilus where you can right click and do stuff
[14:32] <ppparadox> Hello, i am having issues using ~/.ssh/config: host-specific 'Ciphers' and 'MACs' are being ignored.
[14:32] <JakesDen> MonkeyDust: they would just have to add a option on the normal dropbox app to not stor files localy on your hard drive and be able to right click the files and uplod them there instead
[14:34] <Jakey3> Fuchs, when i tried to install nodejs using http://paste.ubuntu.com/17256497/
[14:34] <Jakey3> I get  /usr/local/bin/node: No such file or director
[14:34] <Jakey3> *directory
[14:36] <MonkeyDust> Jakey3  use 'locate node' to find it
[14:37] <Jakey3> MonkeyDust, i think i downloaded a 32bit instead of 54bit
[14:37] <Jakey3> *64bit
[14:38] <ppparadox> Hello, i am having issues using ~/.ssh/config: host-specific 'Ciphers' and 'MACs' are being ignored.
[14:39] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: I have found a lot of information about people tunneling all traffic through an SSH tunnel (http://askubuntu.com/questions/45075/how-do-i-route-my-internet-through-a-ssh-tunnel)
[14:39] <Jakey3> is there a simple way to remove packages installed by "sudo tar -C /usr/local --strip-components 1 -xzf node-v5.1.0-linux-x64.tar.gz "
[14:39] <Jakey3> in one go
[14:39] <terminal_crawler> Maybe looking down this path will yield a way of doing it through a VPN.

[14:44] <shiz_> trying to re-install. heres my fail = http://pastebin.com/7ZDsadAd
[14:44] <shiz_> what is wrong?
[14:45] <MonkeyDust> Industrial  that doesnt make sense, as tmux is a layer for terminal sessions, which are to be launched in the gui
[14:45] <ZeekHuge> hey terminal_crawler !
[14:46] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: As far as I can tell, (e.g. if you are using Firefox), you set all HTTP requests to go through a 'proxy'. In this case, you set it to be the interface of the VPN you said above.
[14:46] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Hola!
[14:47] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: So any idea how should go with that ? Also, just want to mention one more observation: the laptop does that detect/undetect thing even when the monitor is off, and just the VGA is plugged in.
[14:49] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: okay so its lightdm that restarted just now, when i was trying to play with resolutions.

[14:50] <JakesDen> Whats the diffrence between apt install and apt-get install?
[14:51] <zykotick9> JakesDen: apt is new, and under development.
[14:51] <JakesDen> whats the diffrence between using either?
[14:52] <Industrial> MonkeyDust: I use it to save my IRC session mainly between X sessions
[14:52] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: restarting machine ... its irritating me very much :( :(
[14:52] <Industrial> MonkeyDust: So I thought why not set up several sessions with standard apps, disregarding the X environment
[14:52] <zykotick9> JakesDen: not "much" there are a few difference, like "sudo apt upgrade" WILL install new packages (unlike "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[14:52] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Interesting. From the monitor being off, it is weird that it still detects the monitor being there
[14:52] <Industrial> MonkeyDust: one for my editor, dev terminals, media, social stuff etc
[14:53] <Industrial> MonkeyDust: then in my window manager (xmonad) I automatically spawn X terminals, each connecting to one session, at startup
[14:53] <zykotick9> JakesDen: oh, and apt has fance colours ;)
[14:53] <JakesDen> zykotick9: true
[14:53] <JakesDen> zykotick9: thats why i prefer using apt :)
[14:54] <zykotick9> JakesDen: i use apt for almost everything these days :)
[14:54] <dracconi> guys, anyone have an solution to make nvidia drivers work on ubuntu 14.04 LTS?
[14:54] <JakesDen> brb
[14:54] <BluesKaj> dracconi:  which nvidia gpu?
[14:55] <dracconi> BluesKaj: nvidia 645m GeForce
[14:55] <dracconi> BluesKaj: with hybrid card (nvidia + intel hd)
[14:55] <l1meon> terminal_crawler: you mean that, I should configure the firefox then like a proxy? Hmm, I should try.
[14:55] <MonkeyDust> Industrial  i'm not familiar with tmux, but i am with 'screen', which is similar ... i have this irssi session running in 'screen', so i can logout if i want, without destroying this irc session ... i guess you can do that with tmux too
[14:56] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: Or whichever browser you are using lol
[14:56] <L0g4nAd4ms> is there an IRC channel specially for amd graphics on linux ?
[14:56] <terminal_crawler> l1meon: Because it is basically like when you are at work/uni, and they force you to funnel all outside requests through a proxy so that they can filter the traffic to prevent access to certain sites.
[14:56] <frib> if my laptop has efi booting, does that mean it can't boot bios-supported disks?
[14:57] <BluesKaj> dracconi:  afaik the nvidia-prime tool should help the recommended nvidia driver work with hybrid gpus
[14:57] <zykotick9> MonkeyDust: <sidenote> i used screen for years... but after switching to tmux (there was an adjustment period that wasn't that great) i wouldn't go back!  ymmv.
[14:58] <L0g4nAd4ms> frib: err, most UEFIs have support for BIOS, too. "Legacy support"
[14:58] <dracconi> BluesKaj: but i need drivers that work... Actually I want to play games (Gmod) comfortable.
[14:58] <terminal_crawler> frib: By "bios-supported" do you mean the partition table used is a MBR table?
[14:58] <dracconi> BluesKaj: Yesterday i installed 361, i needed to repair that in single user mode
[15:00] <terminal_crawler> frib: Although for Arch Linux, check this out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
[15:00] <terminal_crawler> frib: Also check out the links for MBR and BIOS.
[15:00] <dracconi> dracconi: Actually im running on 304 drivers (where prime dont working)
[15:01] <BluesKaj> dracconi: what is the recommended driver for your gpu...the workaround is to use the nvidia gpu exclusively, battery life suffers, but it's supposed to work , that's about all I know at this stage.
[15:02] <L0g4nAd4ms> So this might be not the right place to ask, but did anybody get their 390X work with amdgpu ?
[15:02] <terminal_crawler> frib: It depends, from what I can see, on the bootloader you use and how the partition table is set up.
[15:02] <terminal_crawler> frib: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Boot_loaders
[15:02] <akik> industrial: you can do something like this on computer boot su - username -c "screen -dmS ftp ftp"
[15:02] <terminal_crawler> frib: If using GRUB, it should allow you to read any disk that has MBR/BIOS or GPT/UEFI or GPT/BIOS
[15:03] <akik> industrial: that creates a screen session with ftp client running. i think there could be something similar for tmux
[15:03] <hoagies> Hello, can anyone read this?
[15:04] <terminal_crawler> hoagies: Loud and clear :)
[15:04] <hoagies> :D  weechat rocks! :)
[15:05] <dracconi> BluesKaj: but it dont work
[15:08] <frib> terminal_crawler, thanks for the info
[15:08] <terminal_crawler> frib: No worries :)
[15:08] <terminal_crawler> I only know because I want through the blasted thing to install this laptop haha
[15:08] <ppparadox> Hello, i am having issues using ~/.ssh/config: host-specific 'Ciphers' and 'MACs' are being ignored.
[15:10] <BluesKaj> dracconi:  http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/switch-intel-nvidia-graphics-ubuntu-16-04/
[15:10] <frib> terminal_crawler,  unfortunately there is now way to flash my phone from ubuntu, nor using a windows VM, so I am forced to install windows XP natively, but the ISO doesn't support UEFI booting.  I just read that most EFI firmwares, as you all mentioned, have compatibility for BIOS, so that's what I'm going to try for
[15:11] <dracconi> BluesKaj: but when i installed 361 i had in every tty spam of unable to assing ACL or sth
[15:11] <frib> terminal_crawler, if I understood you correctly though, grub2 itself can load other disks that use either mbr/bios or gpt/uefi ?
[15:12] <terminal_crawler> frib: From what the wiki seems to say, yes.
[15:12] <terminal_crawler> frib: I don't know how this orks for multiple disks though.
[15:13] <dracconi> BluesKaj: will try to install the 352
[15:13] <terminal_crawler> frib: What o you mean by flashing your phone?
[15:14] <frib> terminal_crawler, upgrading android manually on my lg g3
[15:15] <terminal_crawler> frib: Ah okay. Looking online suggests that there should be an option in the motherboard setup (e.g.g pressing F2 on boot) to enable BIOS emulation.
[15:16] <frib> yah i'm gona try that as soon as the disk is done being created
[15:17] <frib> terminal_crawler, do you know if windows mbr's point to ntldr on their disks?
[15:17] <terminal_crawler> frib: I dont know what ntldr is, so no idea sorry xD
[15:18] <akik> ntldr is windows' grub
[15:19] <frib> thanks akik
[15:20] <galgamach> if there any way to view the password that I've given for system login ?
[15:20] <terminal_crawler> frib: I would Google about dual booting Windows/Linux so that your Grub install doesn't get munted.
[15:20] <Nobgul> galgamach, no
[15:20] <galgamach> Nobgul: OK, thanks
[15:21] <Nobgul> Np sorry
[15:21] <theos> hi
[15:21] <nedstark> if windows 10 erases grub, boot-repair can fix it, https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/
[15:21] <Nobgul> you locked out?
[15:21] <tgm4883> galgamach: if you don't know what it is, then just reset i
[15:21] <dracconi> Bashing-om: officially the drivers didnt work
[15:21] <frib> terminal_crawler, i already know it will :P
[15:22] <galgamach> Nobgul: no I was just writting a script with sudo and I wanna make it run on startup ...so I was kinda thinking of storing the password in a variable
[15:22] <frib> terminal_crawler, pretty sure you just need to write over the mbr again
[15:22] <theos> so my hdd had bad sectors and fsck fsck'd the journal or something. now the partition cant even boot. is there any way to restore the filesystem without reinstalling ?
[15:22] <nedstark> boot-repair is an automated tool for repairing and restoring mbr
[15:22] <nedstark> boots from its own iso
[15:22] <Nobgul> galgamach, if its your personal system i don't see why not. if its a production internet system then no.
[15:22] <tgm4883> galgamach: what does the script do?
[15:22] <frib> actually how can I determine if my disk currently uses efi or legacy ?
[15:23] <nedstark> boot-repair also works with uefi
[15:23] <galgamach> Nobgul: yeah it's my laptop. But If I run it it always says "delete write protected file"... or something like that
[15:23] <Nobgul> 0-O
[15:23] <Bashing-om> dracconi: So, then we look at the logs and see what X has to relate to the siruation ' cat /var/log/gpu-manager.log ; var/log/Xorg.0.log ' .
[15:23] <Nobgul> as tgm4883, what does the script do
[15:24] <Nobgul> as tgm4883 said*
[15:24] <frib> if my ubuntu currently boots via efi then installing windows XP shouldn't have an effect on grub right ?
[15:24] <galgamach> tgm4883: I wanna be able to delete some random images that I generate, that are stored on /var/www/html/tmp folder
[15:24] <dracconi> Bashing-om: http://hastebin.com/umewoqitix.coffee
[15:25] <tgm4883> galgamach: seems like you could just stick that in the root crontab
[15:25] <sevenup__> yes, it das
[15:25] <dracconi> Bashing-om: i readed the 352 should work...
[15:25] <Bashing-om> dracconi: reading .
[15:25] <galgamach> tgm4883: can you elaborate please ?
[15:25] <theos> is there a way to fix deleted system files?
[15:25] <tgm4883> galgamach: are you familiar with crontab?
[15:26] <galgamach> tgm4883: no  :(   and barely with bash.. started learning a while ago
[15:26] <dracconi> Bashing-om: i needed to fix it in single user mode, tty was spammed by attepmpting to set sth
[15:26] <tgm4883> !crontab
[15:26] <nedstark> windows will tend to mess up dual-boot installations
[15:26] <nedstark> it doesn't want to be a second OS
[15:26] <nedstark> you have to restore grub afterwards
[15:26] <galgamach> tgm4883:Ah.. thanks. will have a look
[15:29] <Bashing-om> dracconi: Yeah .. 352 version should work .. however .. presently you are attempting to boot wuth an old old 304 driver . stiall reading .
[15:30] <dracconi> Bashing-om: i told you i have that garbage
[15:31] <Bashing-om> dracconi: "
[15:31] <Bashing-om> Error: no alternative found for unblacklist" need to se X's log file .
[15:31] <Agenomoto> is ubuntu 16 LTS final launched?
[15:31] <Bashing-om> see*
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> Agenomoto  yes, and the point release is scheduled next month
[15:32] <Agenomoto> MonkeyDust:  point release?
[15:32] <MonkeyDust> Agenomoto  16.04.1
[15:33] <Agenomoto> MonkeyDust:  It says dev version kind of thing when I upgraded from 14 LTS to 16 LTS
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> !ltsupgrade > Agenomoto
[15:36] <ppparadox> Hello, i am having issues using ~/.ssh/config: host-specific 'Ciphers' and 'MACs' are being ignored. I already checked everything and i'm out of ideas!
[15:36] <theos> re: is there a way to fix the filesystem?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> theos  re: fix the filesystem? meaning?
[15:37] <theos> MonkeyDust i ran fsck on the filesystem after unmounting it. there were lots of fixes. now i cant boot!
[15:38] <theos> i choose the partition to boot from the grub menu and it tries to boot but then it reboots and goes to the grub menu again
[15:39] <Bitnova> hi, im in quite a bit of trouble, i installed ubuntu 16.04 with a separate /boot partition along side windows, grub is supposed to be installed in /boot as i told it to during installation. after installation, i get to the grub-rescue screen and none of the general commands such as 'normal' work. I boot from live cd, i mount everything and get to the sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/mapper/<YourRaidDrive>   it completes with
[15:39] <Bitnova> errors about blocklists that will not proceed, i then use the --force command, it installs without errors, then i do sudo update-grub, it shows my windows paths on /dev/mapper/... but my ubuntu path it shows as /boot/vmlinuz-4....i reboot and still grub-rescue!!. So let me also confirm that i have a raid drive and my path is /dev/mapper, can someone please help me?? :(
[15:40] <theos> and i dont want to do a fresh install
[15:41] <Jakey3> I have a lubuntu 16.04 vm on a lubuntu 16.04 host in vbox
[15:41] <Jakey3> the vm crashes frequently, when gragging  hypertext link or so
[15:41] <dracconi> Bye guys
[15:41] <Jakey3> *dragging
[15:41] <Bashing-om> dracconi: Also, what kerenl are you booting , see if HWE is a factor here .. maybe re-intall the opensource stuff .. get stable .. and then try and install a propietary driver ??
[15:41] <dracconi> will be after hour
[15:41] <Bitnova> can anyone help here please?
[15:43] <asif> hi
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> Bitnova  repeat your question every 10-15 minutes, until someone enters who can help
[15:44] <Bitnova> MonkeyDust, ok thanks
[15:44] <theos> help!
[15:44] <asif> how can i boost my laptop battery life ??
[15:44] <asif> using ubuntu 15.10
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> asif  instal tlp
[15:44] <asif> ok, then ?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> asif  15.10 ois dead, upgrade first, then ask again
[15:45] <theos> is ubuntu 16.04 stable enough?
[15:45] <maddawg1> depends what you mean by "stable"
[15:45] <asif> i think i will go back to 14.04
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> theos  and by "enough"
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> asif  yes
[15:46] <theos> will it crash often?
[15:46] <theos> or can it be used on a production system?
[15:47] <BluesKaj> this UEFI/BIOS and GPT sure has thrown a monkeywrench into Ubuntu/Linux installs, it's really made a mess out of booting into a working system after installation . Unfortunately there's only a few people who know how to fix the problem after the fact.
[15:52] <maddawg1> theos well i always recommend people to test any new version before putting it into production regardless of whether the developers say it's stable
[15:52] <maddawg1> but there are no major known bugs as far as we know
[15:52] <theos> maddawg1 is there a way to fix a broken filesystem?
[15:53] <maddawg1> you mean like a chkdsk?
[15:53] <theos> this is the main problem i have with ubuntu. everytime i have errors on the hdd, fsck destroys the filesystem and i have to reinstall everything and all the settings get lost
[15:53] <maddawg1> you can use fsck
[15:53] <maddawg1> what kind of errors?
[15:53] <theos> fsck is the one who destroyed the filesystem/files in the filesystem
[15:53] <krismatrix> Hello...I was told that if I wanted to check the fingerprint of a server (published)...I needed to do a dns lookup for a text record.
[15:53] <krismatrix> How would this be done in ubuntu linux?
[15:53] <theos> bad blocks probably
[15:54] <maddawg1> why not get a better hard drive
[15:54] <maddawg1> it sounds like your hard drive is failing
[15:54] <frib> does a CD-ROM have an MBR as first 512 bytes, the same as a hard disk?
[15:54] <maddawg1> you shouldnt be getting errors randomly and the filesystem  shouldnt be getting deleted as you say
[15:54] <theos> it has been failing for 4 years but thats another issue. is there a way to fix deleted/broken files in the filesystem?
[15:55] <maddawg1> it prob wont matter what you install to it if the drive is failing
[15:55] <maddawg1> well fsck
[15:55] <maddawg1> http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/repairing-linux-ext2-or-ext3-file-system.html
[15:55] <theos> fsck deletes system files :S
[15:55] <maddawg1> not if you use it right
[15:55] <maddawg1> it's a chkdsk
[15:56] <maddawg1> but i'd recommend doing it from a live cd/usb
[15:56] <theos> i did fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1 . and it asked me if i wanted to "fix" nodes etc. and i did y
[15:56] <maddawg1> easier to repair a drive when it's not in use
[15:56] <theos> yes i did it from a live usb
[15:56] <maddawg1> well if your drive is fucked it may not be able to
[15:56] <theos> :/
[15:56] <maddawg1> i mean it only works to a point
[15:56] <maddawg1> excuse my french
[15:56] <vishwa> Hey, I have a server running on a localhost port. I want to use netcat to send responses from another window, how do I do that if it's interactive?
[15:57] <theos> so no tool which will detect missing system files?
[15:57] <maddawg1> how much money you got?
[15:57] <maddawg1> EnCase would do it
[15:57] <maddawg1> but it's very veryu expensive
[15:57] <maddawg1> like 3k
[15:57] <maddawg1> it's for forensic analyst
[15:57] <maddawg1> you'd be able to recover them but you'd still need a new drive
[15:57] <theos> ya no point in that. 3k would get me a lot of hdds
[15:58] <hello678> ././/./././././././././..//.
[15:58] <maddawg1> why dont you just get a new drive?
[15:58] <maddawg1> you never answered that
[15:58] <theos> it costs money :/
[15:58] <maddawg1> how large is the drive you have now?
[15:58] <hello678> what about badblocks
[15:58] <theos> 500MB
[15:58] <theos> erm 500GB
[15:58] <hello678> thats nothing
[15:58] <hello678> oh
[15:58] <hello678> sorry
[15:58] <maddawg1> that's small
[15:58] <hello678> badblocks
[15:58] <theos> ya
[15:58] <maddawg1> those only cost like $50
[15:59] <maddawg1> you dont have $50?
[15:59] <theos> $50 is a lot
[15:59] <maddawg1> probably much less than that
[15:59] <hello678> yea it is
[15:59] <MonkeyDust> maddawg1  "only" depends on how much you can afford
[15:59] <theos> poor guy like me has to watch before spending every dime
[15:59] <maddawg1> true
[16:00] <maddawg1> i make like $2k a week so i forget
[16:00] <hello678> windows costs more than $50
[16:00] <maddawg1> he doesnt need to buy windows again
[16:00] <hello678> ow do you make 2k a week?
[16:00] <hello678> *how
[16:00] <maddawg1> i assume he's running linux
[16:00] <theos> thats why i dont have windows
[16:00] <hello678> i run linux to
[16:00] <hello678> *too
[16:00] <maddawg1> hello678, its called having a job
[16:00] <maddawg1> a grown up job
[16:00] <hello678> how do you make 2k a week
[16:00] <hello678> 2k a week is a lot
[16:00] <maddawg1> $2k a week is only like $100k a year
[16:00] <maddawg1> also that's before taxes
[16:00] <maddawg1> not after
[16:01] <hello678> oh
[16:01] <maddawg1> i dont bring home $2k a week
[16:01] <theos> so $1k per week
[16:01] <hello678> fk taxes
[16:01] <maddawg1> i bring home like $1350 a week
[16:01] <hello678> taxes must cost alot
[16:01] <maddawg1> yea
[16:01] <maddawg1> plus social security
[16:01] <hello678> the greedy goverment
[16:01] <maddawg1> plus health insurance contributions
[16:01] <xangua> !ot
[16:02] <maddawg1> but ANYWAYS
[16:02] <maddawg1> he needs a new drive
[16:02] <theos> xangua any tool to fix missing files in the filesystem?
[16:02] <HackerII> buy him 1
[16:02] <maddawg1> theos if you message me and remind me i can check to see if i have any extra drives... just let me know the interface (SATA, IDE etc)
[16:02] <maddawg1> 500GB are everywhere
[16:03] <theos> it is very surprising to me that there is no such tool in the rep
[16:03] <maddawg1> that magically fixes hardware?
[16:03] <maddawg1> lol
[16:03] <hello678> badblocks
[16:03] <theos> that fixes filesystem
[16:03] <maddawg1> silly
[16:03] <hello678> yes
[16:03] <maddawg1> well there is to a point
[16:03] <hello678> exactly
[16:03] <maddawg1> there are tons
[16:03] <theos> fsck deleted system files
[16:03] <maddawg1> but your drive is messed up it sounds like
[16:03] <maddawg1> as you already used onme and said it didnt work
[16:03] <hello678> reinstall but first use badblocks
[16:04] <maddawg1> and that you somehow lost everything.... which is NOT NORMAL
[16:04] <hello678> mabe that would fix it
[16:04] <theos> badblocks worked upto a certain point
[16:04] <maddawg1> exactly
[16:04] <maddawg1> after a certain point your ndrive is too messed up
[16:04] <hello678> you can put ubuntu on a usb stick
[16:04] <maddawg1> it's not MAGIC
[16:04] <maddawg1> he did all that
[16:04] <maddawg1> still didnt work
[16:04] <maddawg1> he wants something that;s magical
[16:04] <maddawg1> but free
[16:05] <maddawg1> cuz i suggested EnCase
[16:05] <maddawg1> but really he needs a new hard drive
[16:05] <hello678> how are you chatting with dead drive?
[16:05] <theos> shouldnt the basic system files be the same on every install?
[16:05] <hello678> yes
[16:05] <maddawg1> he can use a live install
[16:05] <theos> its not dead
[16:05] <hello678> they should
[16:06] <maddawg1> then how do you know the filesystem is corrupt?
[16:06] <Bashing-om> maddawg1: 'buntu : "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke :)
[16:06] <hello678> you can reinstall after making a backup of your files
[16:06] <theos> so why cant a program just replace the missing system files?
[16:06] <theos> maddawg1 its not booting
[16:06] <maddawg1> you can
[16:06] <maddawg1> you can just install ubuntu
[16:07] <maddawg1> but it depends on why it's not booting
[16:07] <hello678> reinstall but dont delete /home
[16:07] <theos> i select it from the grub menu and it tries to boot but it restarts and goes to grub
[16:07] <maddawg1> could be a corrupt bootloader
[16:07] <hello678> yea
[16:07] <maddawg1> which is different fix
[16:07] <maddawg1> or grub could be borked
[16:08] <theos> grub is fine. i saw some kernel files being "fixed" by fsck
[16:08] <theos> ya..
[16:08] <maddawg1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[16:08] <maddawg1> but that depends on what the problem is
[16:08] <maddawg1> you can install ubuntu and not delete your files
[16:09] <maddawg1> but really that's dumb... you s hould just get a better drive if this has been an ongoing issue
[16:09] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: You there?
[16:09] <maddawg1> i told you to message me to remind me and i can check for a 500GB SATA drive that i can mail you
[16:10] <MonkeyDust> theos  if you create a separate /home partition, you can leave your personal files untouched during reinstall or upgrade
[16:10] <maddawg1> but MonkeyDust he keeps having the problem
[16:10] <maddawg1> so it's prob a failing drive
[16:10] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: Yep
[16:10] <ppparadox> Hello, i am having issues using ~/.ssh/config: host-specific 'Ciphers' and 'MACs' are being ignored. I already checked everything and i'm out of ideas!
[16:10] <maddawg1> so his home would get messed up too if its on the same drive
[16:10] <maddawg1> even with partitions
[16:10] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler:  Got a suggestion ?
[16:10] <maddawg1> (same physical drives)
[16:11] <theos> MonkeyDust are you sure? how do i make /home? just leave the old /home there and reinstall?
[16:12] <MonkeyDust> theos  backup your /home to a safe place, then reinstall ubuntu and choose 'something else' to create a separate /home partition
[16:13] <maddawg1> he has no where to back up to
[16:13] <maddawg1> he's too poor for a hard drive
[16:13] <Agenomoto> I want to scan and auto fix ALL problems  in disk wherever possible. Can anyone tell the fsck command? its ext4 FS?
[16:13] <MonkeyDust> maddawg1  that's not a nice thing to say, 'he's too poor'
[16:14] <terminal_crawler> So where are we at, at the moment?
[16:15] <theos> i already have a backup of useful files in /home. how do i backup other files like cron etc? pick each file one by one?
[16:15] <tremblerz> I have problem which is reported here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-power-manager/+bug/1303736 How can I use it ?
[16:15] <maddawg1> MonkeyDust, that's what he said
[16:15] <maddawg1> MonkeyDust, i was repeating what he told us
[16:15] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: ^
[16:15] <maddawg1> MonkeyDust, i asked him why he didnt get another harddrive and he said he was too poor
[16:15] <maddawg1> i was simply quoting him
[16:16] <theos> it is fine. you can call me poor
[16:16] <protonaut> Hey guys, I'm running GalliumOS,a customized version of Kubuntu, on my Acer C720 Chromebook. I can't find the option for a guest session. Anyone know how to make it appear at login?
[16:16] <xangua> protonaut: ask gallium support
[16:16] <protonaut> I did, the IRC is empty.
[16:17] <terminal_crawler> protonaut: Do you know what the display manager is? Does it still use KDM? Or some variant?
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> protonaut  that's not supported here
[16:18] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: Well, I have restarted once, problem was still there. restarted again, still there, restarted again, disconnected monitor, restarted again , connected monitor. working fine for now.
[16:19] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: that bug you were saying was for me ?
[16:20] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: okay no ! sorry , I just read some other nickname as yours :)
[16:20] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Haha no dramas
[16:20] <supercom32> Does anyone know if leaving journaling on for ext4 will really effect pen drives these days considering wear leveling deals with this kind of issue?
[16:20] <terminal_crawler> So as soon as you restarted my computer, it was automatically doing the connect/disconnect?
[16:20] <Agenomoto> I want to scan and auto fix ALL problems  in disk wherever possible. Can anyone tell the fsck command? its ext4 FS?
[16:25] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: yeah. So then i restarted , disconnected the monitor, restarted again and then it was fine.
[16:26] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: also, its connecting / disconnecting even when the monitor is off, and just the VGA is connected, an imp point i think
[16:26] <tremblerz> 0 */1 * * * env DISPLAY=:0 notify-send -i face-wink "text" never works in crontab
[16:26] <tremblerz> any help ?
[16:26] <Agenomoto> I want to scan and auto fix ALL problems  in disk wherever possible. Can anyone tell the fsck command? its ext4 FS? sudo fsck -AayVr /dev/sda4 ?
[16:26] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Agreed.
[16:26] <terminal_crawler> Does the laptop and monitor support any other connection aside from VGA?
[16:27] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: It sounds like an issue I had with a printer recently, once the PC got out of whack with the driver, both PC and printer had to be restarted for the printer to work again (because both sides of the connection were stuffed)
[16:28] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: was there a permanent solution ? like editing some config file or installing some drivers ?
[16:28] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: The connection/disconnection while powered off is not totally unexpected. Just because the display is turned off, doesn't mean that the monitor itself (and any driver chips inside) don't have power and aren't running.
[16:29] <evgeniy> hi, all
[16:29] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: To get it to work, I had to install the proper driver from Samsung's website, rather than the shlock that Windows defaulted to
[16:30] <theos> i have a file Trolltech.conf in the root folder. is it a common file?
[16:31] <Nobgul> theos, yes kinda
[16:31] <Nobgul> No need to remove it
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> theos  http://www.aptosid.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=597
[16:35] <Bashing-om> Agenomoto: Good tutorial: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2012/08/fsck-command-examples/ .
[16:35] <theos> thanks
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> Bashing-om  +1, finally a workable reply
[16:36] <hicoleri> my environment variables aren't being exported even though I'm throwing them in my shell's rc file as well as my my window manager's (openbox) 'environment' startup script. Why is that?
[16:36] <supercom32> Does anyone know these days if journaling is a problem on USB flash drives given wear leveling and life of the device and such?
[16:36] <Bashing-om> MonkeyDust: We try . :)
[16:36] <theos> how many primary partitions can i have on one hdd?
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> theos  4
[16:37] <theos> with ext4?
[16:37] <hicoleri> hicoleri: (contd.) they do seem to work when I enter them manually
[16:37] <supercom32> Yep
[16:37] <supercom32> Ext4
[16:37] <theos> is there a way to make more primary partitions?
[16:37] <Bashing-om> theos: Bios=4 ; EFI=128 .
[16:37] <theos> wow
[16:38] <supercom32> I assume the 'cost' of journaling is way less than the benifits you get for it on a USB flash drive?
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> theos  no, you have to make extended partitions, sda5 and up
[16:38] <rockworldmi> hi all..
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> theos  what Bashing-om says is more accurate
[16:38] <rockworldmi> anyone knows how to upload google drive video to dailymotion using curl ?
[16:38] <rockworldmi> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37771905/dailymotion-video-upload-using-curl this is what i am trying
[16:39] <Bashing-om> theos: Bios, the way around the 4 "primary" partition limit is one of them becomes "extended" in this extended partition one can have 128 "logical" partitions .
[16:39] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: That is why I was thinking about the nvidia chip.
[16:39] <theos> i think 4 is enough for me. i will divide the old partition into 2. leave the old filesystem on one and install new on new partition
[16:39] <hicoleri> join #linux
[16:39] <hicoleri> whoops
[16:39] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: trying this http://askubuntu.com/questions/575225/display-resolution-for-dell-monitor-gone-after-update
[16:40] <theos> Bashing-om and all those 128 logical partitions can boot?
[16:40] <Bashing-om> theos: Depends . linux will .. Windows and OSX will not .
[16:41] <theos> i use Lubuntu.
[16:41] <theos> this is some really good info. thanks
[16:41] <Bashing-om> theos: You are good then .. 'buntu is happy to boot from a logical partition .
[16:42] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: -fingers crossed-
[16:42] <theos> Bashing-om whats the cache?
[16:42] <theos> i mean catch*
[16:43] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: installed it, the display still remains undetected. probably will have to reboot, but will do that only when it gets bad. Its working fine for now.
[16:43] <theos> i tried working with extended partitions a while back. it was ext2 or 3 i think and it didnt work out well
[16:43] <Bashing-om> theos: There is no catch .. the extended partition scheme is the solution .
[16:43] <theos> ok thank you
[16:43] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: I don't think I will be able to sleep until we ffigure out your monitor problem lol
[16:45] <theos> last question: how do i find out why the partition is not booting while other one is? i dont see errors. is there a log file?
[16:45] <Bashing-om> theos: Not a problem; see my booting setup : http://paste.ubuntu.com/17263484/ .
[16:47] <Bashing-om> theos: Check your config files . /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.cfg . See what is set for booting .
[16:47] <theos> Bashing-om i have the same setup. 2 hdds. each 500GB
[16:48] <MonkeyDust> theos  so you have space to backup?
[16:48] <theos> Bashing-om i meant to say that it used to boot properly. now it tries to boot but reboots before the login screen
[16:48] <theos> MonkeyDust i have enough space yes
[16:48] <Bashing-om> theos: Actually, I have 4 hard drives .. only mount 2 as on demenad ..
[16:49] <Bashing-om> demand*
[16:49] <theos> Bashing-om nice
[16:49] <theos> i think i need to buy some 1TB hdds
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> theos  then do as suggested, backup your personal files, reinstall ubuntu and create a separate /home
[16:50] <theos> MonkeyDust thats not a problem for now. but i dont want to keep doing it everytime it happens. i want to fix the old filesystem
[16:51] <theos> is the whole partition called filesystem?
[16:51] <theos> a bunch of files got deleted. i want to put them back. and not manually
[16:51] <MonkeyDust> theos  it's easier, faster and cleaner to start anew, instead of repairing things
[16:51] <Bashing-om> theos: Everything is a file in linux .. everything !
[16:52] <MonkeyDust> theos  also for the future, with a separate /home
[16:53] <theos> MonkeyDust can i have /home on a different partition?
[16:53] <buntunoob> Can one upgrade from Ubuntu to its derivates? (eg. Ubuntu 14 to Xubuntu 16)
[16:53] <buntunoob> derivatives*
[16:54] <MonkeyDust> buntunoob  no, you'll have to wait until july for a direct upgrade LTS > LTS
[16:54] <Bashing-om> buntunoob: Short answer is no, but once you are there you can make what you want .
[16:54] <buntunoob> Bashing-om, could you expand on the second part of your answer?
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> buntunoob  after the upgrade to 16.04, you can install xubuntu-desktop, from the repos
[16:55] <Bashing-om> buntunoob: Install the desktop that you prefer once you have the release you prefer .
[16:55] <akik> theos: you can set your system to fsck your root partition every time you boot "sudo touch /forcefsck". to check other partitions "tune2fs -c 1 /dev/partition"
[16:55] <buntunoob> ahh.
[16:55] <MonkeyDust> !ltsupgrade > buntunoob
[16:56] <theos> akik fsck fsck's up the system!
[16:56] <MonkeyDust> theos  yes, that's why its better to reinstall
[16:56] <buntunoob> Thanks!
[16:56] <Bashing-om> theos: ^^ doing so while the file system is mounted ?/ Yeah will have bad bad results .
[16:57] <theos> but can in install important files somewhere else?
[16:57] <MonkeyDust> theos  meaning?
[16:57] <theos> Bashing-om no. fsck wont run with it mounted. so i ran it from a usb
[16:57] <theos> MonkeyDust like /home etc somewhere else. on another partition and not in /
[16:58] <Bashing-om> theos: One CAN install whatever, where ever .. IF one understands hard links and symbolic links .
[16:58] <MonkeyDust> theos  yes, that's what we've been suggesting: create a separate /home partition, it's very common
[16:58] <theos> oh. i thought /home is in / like in default
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> theos  you can then delete / and reinstall ubuntu, without touching the files in /home
[17:00] <theos> MonkeyDust will the installer ask where /home is while installing?
[17:00] <Bashing-om> theos: Nope .. see my fdisk example .. where I have a separate /home and as well a separate /var .
[17:00] <theos> ok
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> theos  choose 'something else' during install, then tell it where to place /home
[17:01] <Bashing-om> theos: Maybe a bit clearer : http://paste.ubuntu.com/17264228/ .
[17:02] <sgo11> hi, I am running 14.04.3 LTS. Today, I want to update to 16.04 LTS. but when I run "sudo do-release-upgrade", it returns "No new release found". why?
[17:03] <Bashing-om> !ltsupgrade | sgo11
[17:03] <theos> oh! i didnt know buntu could work like that too. this is awesome!
[17:03] <sgo11> Bashing-om, ok, got it. but why? thanks.
[17:03] <theos> so root and home on different partitions
[17:04] <sgo11> Bashing-om, 16.04 LTS is not stable yet? even if that is LTS release....
[17:04] <theos> Bashing-om can i have other directories on different partitions too?
[17:04] <Bashing-om> sgo11: Phased updates, solidity . Major bugs if any worked out by the .1 release .
[17:05] <sgo11> Bashing-om, ok. got it. thanks.
[17:05] <theos> can i upgrade from current 16.04 to the one from 21st july?
[17:06] <Bashing-om> sgo11: Now if ya want to push .. one can shove to 16.04 from 14.04 .. but that is not the best practice .
[17:06] <sgo11> Bashing-om, got it. thanks.
[17:06] <Bashing-om> theos: " can i upgrade from current 16.04 to the one from 21st july" tes. hust an upgrade . All in the system .
[17:07] <theos> if i install 16.04 today. can i upgrade to the newer version after 21st july?
[17:07] <Bashing-om> yes, just an*
[17:08] <theos> nice. so you have root and home on different partitions? can i have other dirs on different partitions too? with hardlinks or no need for hardlinks?
[17:09] <maxb> You cannot hardlink between different partitions. That's inherent in the nature of what a hardlink is.
[17:10] <theos> forget the hardlinks then. is it possible?
[17:11] <Bashing-om> theos: There is a learning curve to using links . short answer however is yes .. you can have whatever you want where ever you want . - but there is maintenance overhead you may have to cope with .
[17:11] <maxb> You could. I'm not sure why you'd bother, or what benefit it would bring
[17:12] <theos> ok. so i will just backup everything and do a fresh install
[17:12] <akik> theos: you can mount partitions into your existing file system
[17:12] <Bashing-om> theos: maxb : +1 .. if it works why fix it ?
[17:15] <theos> is there a simple way to automate fresh installs so they have old config files and programs etc?
[17:16] <theos> i could write scripts to put each file in it's dir though. and to install programs.
[17:19] <theos> maybe i should focus on finding why the partition is not booting properly
[17:20] <Bashing-om> theos: You are over making this . system files are system files are system files . all that is needed to backup is you personal files . Most of the user configs are in /home .
[17:20] <MonkeyDust> theos  yes, again with the separate /home, i keep hammering on that
[17:20] <theos> Bashing-om a lot of files like cron etc are not in /home
[17:20] <tgm4883> theos: simple fix, don't use cron
[17:20] <theos> :/
[17:21] <theos> tgm4883 what do you suggest?
[17:21] <tgm4883> theos: crontab
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> theos  you can backup /etc/ too, or put it on it's own partition
[17:21]  * tgm4883 starts reading backlog
[17:21] <theos> tgm4883 i use crontab -e to edit the file. what is it called?
[17:22] <Bashing-om> theos: And the system will remake them . for changes I make to system configs I keep a "change_log" file .. much easier to go back and re-edit than to backup files when that backup may no longer be suitable .
[17:23] <yellabs-r2> hi there , i got a lice usb with mounted casper-rw, updating it with newer kernel is that a "no go" ?
[17:23] <yellabs-r2> live - usb
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> yellabs-r2  'lice usb', nano technology?
[17:24] <tgm4883> theos: acutally, not in your home directory. Although I don't see why you'd have a ton of stuff in there you could easily just keep a file of what you want to run and restore it after installing
[17:24] <yellabs-r2> hmm, live usb , dont think updating /boot/initrd.img is something to do ..
[17:24] <tgm4883> theos: ala 'crontab backupfile'
[17:25] <eelstrebor> i'm running ubuntu 14.04 on an intel based lappy - dmesg gives this even though it appears that this firmware isn't available for the 7260 wifi chip: iwlwifi-7260-15.ucode failed with error -2
[17:26] <eelstrebor> iwlwifi-7260-16.ucode is available for kernel 4.3+ but i'm running kernel 4.2
[17:26] <theos> tgm4883 how do i find out why the partition is not booting properly?
[17:26] <eelstrebor> i suppose kernel 4.3+ is a misprint and they meant 4.2+ - i guess i can install the firmware and reboot and see what happens
[17:26] <paulajjwinn> does anyone know if a fingerprint scanner can be used to authenticate a user with an encrypted home folder?? I'm not sure drivers for the fingerprint scanner are available before the system actually starts.
[17:27] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Still working?
[17:27] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: haha ! yeah !
[17:27] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Would it have normally stuffed up by now?
[17:27] <eelstrebor> here goes - wish me luck
[17:28] <theos> good luck
[17:28] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: not sure . I think you should sleep now. whats time there now ?
[17:28] <terminal_crawler> 3am.
[17:32] <Nytician> Hi I have checked everywhere on google and can't find an answer.. My Ubuntu won't load it just has an _ in the left corner :/
[17:32] <MonkeyDust> !nomodeset | Nytician
[17:35] <tgm4883> theos: not sure what you mean by "not booting properly", especially in terms of a partition (which isn't booted, it's mounted). But generally you'd look in /var/log/syslog
[17:35] <Nytician> Monkeydust thanks I'll look at that
[17:43] <Sja1> Hi I'm having a trouble with my user account
[17:43] <Sja1> I'm using xubuntu xenial
[17:43] <Sja1> I changed the username using usermod to something and now i can't login to it using tty7
[17:44] <MonkeyDust> Sja1  can you change it back?
[17:44] <Sja1> if I try to access it using tty1 I can't enter my home directory, even if I try to do "cd ~" I get directed to /
[17:44] <Sja1> I already did that with no result
[17:47] <paulajjwinn> i know it's off topic, but...can anyone tell me how to find a list of commands for freenode?? I'm trying to stop all the quit and joined notices.
[17:48] <Sja1> do /help
[17:48] <tgm4883> paulajjwinn: that should be a feature of your IRC client
[17:48] <Sja1> Woot I fixed my problem
[17:48] <paulajjwinn> ty
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> Sja1  how did you do it
[17:49] <Sja1> all what I had to do is "usermod /home/muh-usname usname"
[17:49] <Sja1> with -d
[17:49] <Sja1> I have no idea how it worked but glory to the gods of linux
[17:51] <paulajjwinn> CHANOPT CONFMODE off
[17:51] <Sja1> you better ad / before that command
[17:51] <Sja1> add*
[17:51] <paulajjwinn> k, ty.. im new,
[17:52] <Sja1> no problem, IRC was tricky for me at the beginning
[17:55] <eelstrebor> github has iwlwifi-7260-15.ucode but it appears to be the wrong filesize. what further confuses me is that a web page says that iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode is the last firmware update but it's also the wrong filesize. can't seem to find either one elsewhere other than github
[18:00] <Dracconi1> Can anyone help me with Nvidia 352?
[18:01] <Dracconi1> It doesn't work. Till I use nomodeset
[18:02] <bekks> Define "doesnt work" please.
[18:02] <MonkeyDust> eelstrebor  git is a development framework, so of course you won't find it anywhere else
[18:02] <MonkeyDust> Dracconi1  nomodeset solved it?
[18:02] <Bashing-om> Dracconi1: Still with that old 394 driver ? Matbe revert to open source when we know the status of HWE ?
[18:02] <Dracconi1> There is a blankscreen
[18:02] <Bashing-om> 304*
[18:02] <Dracconi1> Monkeydust no. It's in fallback mode
[18:03] <mariano> I want to install retext-6.0.0.tar.gz on xubuntu 16.04 but I don't know how to install tar files. Can someone lend me a hand?
[18:03] <Dracconi1> Bashing-om: i installed 352
[18:06] <fsociety[00]dat> hi all; how can I list services are running at the moment?
[18:06] <dracconi2> soo, anyone has solution to make nvidia drivers work?
[18:07] <akik> mariano: the github page tells you to use "setup.py install". you should check the options to see in which directory it will be installed
[18:08] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Ill check back with you tomorrow on how it is going
[18:09] <ZeekHuge> sure :) thanks for helping. What time btw ?
[18:11] <_63ek_> hello
[18:14] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: Anytime :) I am nrmally on at 8/9pm SA time
[18:14] <dracconi2> i have no de when i installed nvidia-352...
[18:14] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: no i mean what time is it now ? :)
[18:17] <xentity1x> im getting this error when i try to mount my secondary hard drive No object for D-Bus interface
[18:17] <xentity1x> anyone know why?
[18:17] <terminal_crawler> 3:47 AM
[18:17] <terminal_crawler> ZeekHuge: ^
[18:18] <ZeekHuge> terminal_crawler: go now ! have a good sleep.
[18:23] <dracconi2> any ideas guys to fix blank screen after installing nvidia 352 driver?
[18:23] <bekks> !nomodeset | dracconi2
[18:24] <dracconi2> bekks: but i cant do anything there (in nomodeset, its fallbackmode)
[18:24] <ZeekHuge> dracconi2: yes you will have to edit grub commands while booting.
[18:25] <dracconi2> ZeekHuge: soo how to make it work good?
[18:25] <dracconi2> ZeekHuge: without fallback - normally?
[18:25] <dracconi2> ZeekHuge: BTW. it's also other resolution
[18:26] <ZeekHuge> dracconi2: on call ,..
[18:26] <ioria> dracconi2, have you already posted  /var/log/Xorg.0.log   in here ?
[18:26] <dracconi2> ioria: yup, i'm dracconi from other comp
[18:27] <ioria> dracconi2, can you post it again, please ?
[18:27] <dracconi2> ioria: it will be hard, but is there any easiest way?
[18:28] <dracconi2> ioria: to fix this?
[18:28] <ioria> dracconi2, another pc ? you can open a console on the ubuntu pc ?
[18:28] <dracconi2> ioria: and from irssi?
[18:29] <ioria> dracconi2, you can use that, if you want or install a simple window manager
[18:30] <ioria> dracconi2,  we need the logs... or install openssh-server and log in it...
[18:30] <altf4> #dolphin-dev
[18:32] <theos> do i need /usr/src/ for the system to work?
[18:33] <EriC^^> theos: it contains the headers for the kernel
[18:33] <EriC^^> if you want to use nvidia graphics and virtualbox and stuff you need it
[18:33] <reisio> theos: only for building things, I would think
[18:33] <EriC^^> and compiling
[18:33] <reisio> like the nvidia module, vbox modules, as EriC^^ has mentioned
[18:34] <reisio> presumably the package manager would provide those as required if you removed /usr/src/*
[18:34] <reisio> but don't quote me on that
[18:34] <theos> so the system will reboot without it?
[18:34] <dracconi1> I havent any logs bro :/
[18:34] <reisio> theos: yeah
[18:34] <theos> ok thanks
[18:34] <reisio> theos: low on space?

[18:35] <theos> reisio provided wrong path
[18:35] <ZeekHuge> dracconi1: okay so I had similar situation. To fix black screen get into safe mode, remount the fs in read-write mode and remove those driver
[18:35] <dracconi1> ZeekHuge but i want to have it work
[18:36] <reisio> theos: shouldn't cause any problems for booting
[18:36] <reisio> theos: there's a change your package manager will complain, but I doubt that'll happen as well
[18:36] <reisio> a chance*
[18:36] <ioria> dracconi1, wily ?
[18:36] <dracconi1> ioria, what?
[18:36] <theos> reisio since you are here. fsck broke my filesystem and it is not reaching the login screen while booting. it keeps rebooting. can i fix it?
[18:36] <ioria> dracconi1, it's not xenial, is wily
[18:37] <ioria> dracconi1, cat /etc/issue
[18:37] <reisio> theos: what makes you think it's broken? What makes you think fsck broke it? What's the last stuff you see before it reboots?
[18:37] <dracconi1> ioria, it says elementary OS Freya \n \l but actually im running on ubuntu (this is pantheon work...)
[18:38] <ioria> dracconi1, comon
[18:38] <dracconi1> ioria, wat?
[18:38] <hhee> guys. why tux guitar - doesn't play at all? already has been in setting
[18:38] <hhee> midi in system - work good
[18:38] <reisio> no, superman works good, midi works _well_ :p
[18:39] <mariano> akik, it just says to run the command python3 -m pip install ReText --user
[18:39] <hhee> reisio, you right. :) but tuxguitar - dont play for me :)
[18:39] <ioria> dracconi1, i'd say   ... install ubuntu xenial 16.04 or trusty 14.04 (no pantheon) , test nvidia then, we'll think to elementary, if you want
[18:39] <akik> mariano: oh ok i was reading this https://github.com/retext-project/retext
[18:39] <dracconi1> ioria, really i need to reinstall :(?
[18:39] <mariano> https://github.com/retext-project/retext/wiki/Installing-ReText
[18:40] <akik> mariano: it's usually something called prefix in which you tell it where to install
[18:40] <mariano> So there is no easy way to install it like deb files?
[18:40] <akik> mariano: there's instructions to install also system wide
[18:40] <theos> reisio the filesystem became read/write only. probably because of bad sectors. so i booted from a usb and ran fsck on the filesystem partition. it asked me if i wanted to fix nodes and i pressed y. there were a lot of kernel files that were "fixed". among other system files. now when i start the system, grub shows and when i select the partition, it does something in the black backgrnd and doesnt reach the
[18:40] <theos>  login screen. then it reboots to the grub menu.
[18:40] <akik> mariano: no it's not a deb installation
[18:40] <ioria> dracconi1, i don't know the elementary-ppa .... and btw wily is ending
[18:41] <dracconi1> ioria: what is wily?
[18:41] <Sja1> a codename for ubuntu, well probably
[18:41] <teward> !wily | dracconi1
[18:41] <ioria> dracconi1, 4.2.0-38, it's the wily kernel
[18:41] <ioria> !info linux-generic wily
[18:41] <Erige> Anyone know of a workaround for this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1576747
[18:42] <dracconi1> ioria: ah ok, but it says 14.04 lts, ok
[18:42] <reisio> theos: mmm, you might see if there are a bunch of files in lost+found in the root of the FS
[18:42] <dracconi1> ioria: so its possible to not format partition?
[18:42] <reisio> theos: if it's a lot of OS files, you could potentially save time by reinstalling the OS
[18:43] <dracconi1> ioria: on install?
[18:43] <theos> reisio oh and it kept asking me if i wanted to expand lost/found
[18:43] <reisio> theos: if it's personaly files and you have no backup, be careful
[18:43] <ioria> dracconi1, are you dual booting ?
[18:43] <dracconi1> ioria: i had windows, but theres no windows actually
[18:43] <dracconi1> ioria: + grub like windows so it didnt dissapear
[18:44] <ioria> dracconi1, so, just install 16.04
[18:44] <dracconi1> ioria: really?
[18:44] <ioria> dracconi1, what's the problem ?
[18:45] <dracconi1> ioria: 16 is better than 14 (stable)?
[18:45] <ioria> dracconi1, i prefer 14.04 ... but your call
[18:45] <EriC^^> ioria: why?
[18:46] <ioria> EriC^^, upstart
[18:46] <hhee> well actually midi not play too
[18:46] <dracconi1> ioria: soo why you make me install 14.04?
[18:47] <ioria> dracconi1, 14.04 or 16.04 , up to you
[18:47] <dracconi1> ioria whats better...?
[18:47] <dracconi1> ioria will nvidia drivers work on 16.04?
[18:47] <ioria> dracconi1, guess so
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> dracconi1  'better' depends on you like more
[18:48] <MonkeyDust> on what*
[18:48] <dracconi1> ioria MonkeyDust whats the difference?
[18:48] <tgm4883> I'm using nvidia drivers on 16.04 right now
[18:48] <dracconi1> tgm4883 and its working fine?
[18:48] <tgm4883> yea
[18:48] <dracconi1> after reboot too?
[18:49] <tgm4883> dracconi1: the recommendation to install 14.04 or 16.04 is because elementary isn't supported here
[18:49] <theos> reisio will a couple of xml-containing files be important? they have "XML::LibXML::DOM - XML::LibXML DOM Implementation"
[18:49] <tgm4883> dracconi1: yea, i've been using it just fine since 16.04 release
[18:49] <tgm4883> dracconi1: I've got a GTX 760
[18:49] <dracconi1> tgm4883 ok ok, i will reinstall 16.04 and wont install pantheon
[18:49] <ioria> great card
[18:49] <dracconi1> de
[18:50] <tgm4883> I don't see why pantheon de would change issue
[18:50] <dracconi1> tgm4883 its strange for me too
[18:50] <reisio> theos: to booting up? I doubt it, but possibly
[18:50] <reisio> theos: critical Unix system files aren't usually XML :p
[18:50] <theos> :D ok
[18:50] <tgm4883> ioria: I agree. Although I'm drooling over the 1070 now
[18:50] <dracconi1> de shouldnt do that
[18:50] <reisio> because XML is crap, and also because Unix predates XML
[18:50] <tgm4883> dracconi1: what is the output of "cat /var/log/installer/media-info | nc termbin.com 9999"
[18:51] <ioria> tgm4883, i see
[18:51] <dracconi1> tagm4883 Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20160217.1)
[18:51] <dracconi1> you see?
[18:52] <dracconi1> ioria so... can i just only format / and not format /home, will it work, or no?
[18:52] <tgm4883> dracconi1: well that wasn't the output of the command I gave you, but if that is the case, then that PPA is doing bad things
[18:52] <dracconi1> it should work, yea?
[18:52] <dracconi1> tgm4883 soo output (raw) is http://termbin.com/97r1
[18:53] <dracconi1> ioria i can have home to work on 14.04 and 16.04 yea?
[18:53] <Gallomimia> nope.
[18:53] <Gallomimia> i tried that.
[18:53] <tgm4883> dracconi1: yea I'm not sure I would trust that PPA then
[18:53] <Gallomimia> it really really doesn't work.
[18:53] <dracconi1> Gallomimia why?
[18:53] <dracconi1> guys, wait, im going to normal TT
[18:53] <dracconi1> rebooting
[18:54] <Gallomimia> oh. well it might have had to do with the fact that i changed to ubuntu-mate with 16.04
[18:54] <Gallomimia> but all the settings will be mismatched versions
[18:56] <kkk87> I have problems with my ATI card. The veri first one is that when I try to install from USB the screen becomes black, but I hear the "welcome" sound of ubuntu
[18:57] <ioria> kkk87, 16.04 ?
[18:58] <kkk87> yes
[18:58] <ioria> kkk87, you get the installer main menu ?
[18:58] <PrincessCoderDas> hi
[18:58] <reisio> hi princ
[18:59] <PrincessCoderDas> How you doin?
[19:00] <PrincessCoderDas> Lel, is it safe for all those people that we see there provider? unless your using tor or something routed through something like a query that filters the data that go's out.
[19:00] <kkk87> just a sec, let me try it again. I used a workaround - "nomodeset"
[19:00] <ioria> kkk87, good
[19:00] <dracconi> ioria: ok, im in normal mode, what with this ubuntu 14.04 home on 16.06?
[19:00] <ioria> dracconi, what is 'home' ?
[19:01] <PrincessCoderDas> I am currently testing my own Linux ~ DashPower
[19:01] <PrincessCoderDas> anybody having tips?
[19:01] <MonkeyDust> PrincessCoderDas  wrong channel
[19:01] <PrincessCoderDas> Ok :(
[19:02] <PrincessCoderDas> Any recommendations for any chats that actually has people in them that chat?
[19:03] <PrincessCoderDas> :P
[19:03] <dracconi> ioria: i mean mountpoint
[19:03] <MonkeyDust> PrincessCoderDas  type   /msg alis list blah
[19:03] <bipul> Hi, I would like to know what's wrong with my updation. since i am unable to update http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17269466/
[19:03] <tgm4883> !ot | PrincessCoderDas
[19:04] <MonkeyDust> bipul  can you ping 8.8.8.8
[19:04] <ioria> dracconi, first backup important data, and , if i may, better a full clean install
[19:04] <bekks> bipul: restart your apt-cache-ng instance.
[19:04] <bekks> *apt-cacher-ng instance.
[19:04] <bipul> Yes, I am able to ping 64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=22.6 ms
[19:05] <dracconi> ioria: ok, i need to do this tommorow, ty
[19:05] <MonkeyDust> bipul  ok, then select a different mirror
[19:05] <ioria> dracconi,  you're wellcome
[19:05] <dracconi> tgm4883: thanks for help
[19:05] <bekks> MonkeyDust: His apt-cacher-ng instance does not respond.
[19:05] <bipul> From software & updation?
[19:05] <teward> MonkeyDust: 127.0.0.1:3142 is where it's reaching - my guess is he's got apt-cacher-ng and it's not responding
[19:05] <teward> bipul: do you have apt-cacher-ng on your system?
[19:06] <kkk87> ioria: I see purple blank screen (few sec ~8), then it becomes dark with a blinking cursor in the left top corner (few sec ~ 8), then I see Ubuntu logo and booting process (few sec ~10), then the screen turns off and few sec later I hear the welcome sound.
[19:06] <bipul> I have to check.
[19:07] <ioria> kkk87,  this with nomodeset , right ?
[19:07] <kkk87> ioria: all that happens when I am installing from a USB stick
[19:07] <bipul> teward, Yes. Installed
[19:07] <bipul> Status: install ok installed
[19:07] <MonkeyDust> teward  neat, i failed to see the 127.0.0.1
[19:07] <kkk87> ioria: no, it happens without nomodeset
[19:08] <ioria> kkk87,  have you tried nomodeset ?
[19:08] <kkk87> Yes, that works
[19:08] <teward> bipul: restart apt-cacher-ng
[19:08] <kkk87> ioria: but the thing is it then uses VESA
[19:08] <ioria> kkk87,  good, go ahead then with the install
[19:08] <teward> because the instance stopped responding
[19:08] <ioria> kkk87,  after we'll see
[19:09] <kkk87> ioria: I am already there =) I have it installed (did it two hours ago).
[19:10] <ioria> kkk87,  are you installing or you have alreadyinstalled ?
[19:10] <kkk87> ioria: I have already installed using this "nomodeset" workaround
[19:11] <kkk87> ioria: and I see that the video is so slow ...
[19:11] <bipul> Nops, it fails to restart.
[19:11] <ioria> kkk87,  ok,  video slow ? so you are in graphic mode or what ?
[19:11] <bipul> No /usr/sbin/apt-cacher-ng found running; none killed.

[19:12] <kkk87> ioria: yes, I am in graphic mode
[19:12] <ioria> kkk87,  ok, so paste sudo lshw -c Video
[19:13] <ioria> dracconi, any usb device
[19:13] <_Kevin_> Which channel supports 16.10?
[19:14] <\9> _Kevin_: #ubuntu+1
[19:14] <teward> bipul: try 'start' instead of restart then
[19:15] <teward> bipul: and make sure that you're checking the log folder permissions (it looks like it can't create logs)
[19:15] <ioria> dracconi, and whats your specs ?
[19:15] <bipul> teward, same error
[19:15] <zykotick9> bipul: is "ls -ld /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/" owned by apt-cacher-ng:apt-cacher-ng?

[19:16] <JakesDen> Hello, I need some help trying to remove firefox.
[19:17] <zykotick9> bipul: any difference if you use sudo before the above command?
[19:18] <JakesDen> Anyone able to help me?
[19:19] <zykotick9> bipul: <what i'd try> "sudo mkdir /var/log/apt-caher-ng && sudo chown apt-cahcer-ng:apt-cacher-ng /var/log/apt-cacher-ng" then try restarting apt-cacher-ng again...  <- this _should_ have been created properly when you installed?!?!

[19:19] <bipul> JakesDen, sudo apt-get remove firefox*
[19:19] <DrQuest> hey, what do you guys recommend for password managers?

[19:20] <ioria> kkk87,   can you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[19:20] <bipul> zykotick9, I have no idea about this package.
[19:20] <kkk87> ioria: sure, sec
[19:21] <tgm4883> JakesDen: those are metapackages. They are used to install the default set of packages in a flavor
[19:22] <JakesDen> so is it ok for me to remove them?
[19:22] <tgm4883> JakesDen: yes, although why are you trying to remove firefox?
[19:22] <JakesDen> tgm4883: because i dont ever use it and dont want it anyway
[19:24] <kkk87> ioria: http://pastebin.com/hPUfEKxd
[19:25] <ioria> kkk87,   you still have nomoset ..

[19:30] <EriC^^> JakesDen: did you install conky or another dock?
[19:30] <ioria> kkk87,   open a console

[20:04] <OmegaA> Or rather, /the/ 16.04 iso
[20:04] <asdf-> bekks, how do i assign it to a LV?
[20:04] <ioria> kkk87,   have you rebooted ?
[20:04] <kkk87> ioria: yes
[20:04] <ioria> kkk87,  still blank screen ?
[20:05] <bekks> asdf-: you need to resize the LV, using lvresize ... - but be warned that it isnt a good idea to spread your root volume across multiple disks. In case one disk fails, you will lose your entire volume.
[20:05] <kkk87> ioria: yes
[20:05] <bekks> asdf-: And after resizing the LV, you need to resize the FS.
[20:06] <kkk87> ioria: laptop's screen is off, totally. I connect to HDMI and F7 is blank, but F1 to F6 works
[20:06] <asdf-> bekks, i'm finding conflicting tutorials on LVM... should I create a different VG for /usr, /bin, /home, etc?
[20:08] <ioria> kkk87,  have you tried to reboot without the HDMI attached ?
[20:08] <kkk87> ioria: just did that, same result
[20:09] <ioria> kkk87,  running short of ideas, sorry,  you can keep asking here or try to remove xserver-xorg-video-ati
[20:11] <ioria> kkk87, good luck
[20:12] <kkk87> ioria: https://goo.gl/photos/Eom5gFCKGQQABSXy6
[20:12] <kkk87> ioria: this is what I see now just after connecting HDMI and going to F1
[20:13] <kkk87> ioria: thank you for spending your time =)
[20:19] <Fizzik> Hey guys I have a laptop with a nvidia 650m and onboard intel hd4000. Just installed Ubuntu 16.04 currently using the xorg driver. I use an external display via the HDMI out. The Nvidia tested driver causes issues stretching everything out and unable to be used when second monitor is attached. Although the xorg driver works fine.
[20:20] <dagerik> how can I fix this: https://bpaste.net/show/fd33b97dbc50
[20:20] <dagerik> Errors were encountered while processing:
[20:20] <dagerik>  postfix
[20:20] <dagerik>  bsd-mailx
[20:31] <JakesDen> Well my ubuntu mate install is kinda broken and I need help
[20:31] <bekks> JakesDen: So how it is broken and what do you need help with?
[20:32] <Erige> degerik: you need to install the dependencies to fix the issue you are having
[20:32] <JakesDen> Randomly networking turns off and when I try to reboot or shut down it just puts   me at login screen and I have to hold the power button on my laptop to reboot
[20:33] <bekks> JakesDen: did you try typing "sudo reboot" or similar?
[20:33] <mhoney> sounds like driver/hardware
[20:33] <JakesDen> I will try
[20:34] <Erige> Anyone know a temporary workaround for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1576747
[20:34] <Erige> If I pkill nm-applet and nohup nm-applet & after suspend it works fine, but im not sure how to make that automated
[20:34] <JakesDen> That's the bug I have been  having
[20:35] <bekks> Erige: the workaround is the one you mentioned: sudo service network-manager restart
[20:35] <Erige> I used that but it didnt work aswell as the fix i mentioned, I just cant figure out how to automate the pkill and start of nm-applet
[20:36] <JakesDen> That worked for me
[20:36] <JakesDen> One sec I will open Inc on my laptop
[20:36] <JakesDen> ok
[20:37] <JakesDen> when i try sudo reboot this happens jakesden@Lapitude-D620:~$ sudo reboot
[20:37] <JakesDen> [sudo] password for jakesden:
[20:37] <JakesDen> Failed to start reboot.target: Transaction is destructive.
[20:37] <JakesDen> See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.
[20:37] <Erige> just try reboot without sudo
[20:38] <JakesDen> Failed to reboot system via logind: There's already a shutdown or sleep operation in progress
[20:38] <JakesDen> and it only happens when the network manager stops working
[20:39] <Erige> ah you have to wait, it got hung up during the shut down, or you could shutdown -h now
[20:39] <Erige> I was having the same issue yesterday
[20:39] <Erige> What laptop are you on?
[20:39] <thekrynn> wondering if anyone has experience with running ubuntu on ESXi and dealing with write-back cache requirements
[20:39] <JakesDen> dell latitude d620
[20:40] <JakesDen> i am on irc on the laptop that is doing this atm
[20:40] <bekks> thekrynn: Works fine.
[20:40] <Erige> I am on a dell also, lol. thats why I asked
[20:41] <thekrynn> bekks: is there a recommended approach if i wanted to avoid buying servers without a bbc controller
[20:41] <JakesDen> what dell are you on?
[20:41] <bekks> thekrynn: I'd never buy server without a bbc controller.
[20:41] <JakesDen> have you reported the issue?
[20:41] <Erige> Inspiron 7568
[20:41] <bekks> thekrynn: For data integrity, a bbc is vital.
[20:41] <b-yeezi> JakesDen did you do 'systemctl status reboot.target'?
[20:41] <thekrynn> my specific workload is extremely heavy CPU usage for aggregation and immediate copy off
[20:42] <JakesDen> willl try b-yeezi
[20:42] <thekrynn> the only thing i would be using non-ephemeral disk for is ubuntu
[20:42] <thekrynn> all data write would be NFS
[20:42] <JakesDen>  reboot.target - Reboot
[20:42] <JakesDen>    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/reboot.target; disabled; vendor preset: d
[20:42] <JakesDen>    Active: inactive (dead)
[20:42] <JakesDen>      Docs: man:systemd.special(7)
[20:42] <JakesDen> lines 1-4/4 (END)
[20:43] <bekks> thekrynn: and still you want data integrity for the ESXi OS.
[20:43] <thekrynn> esxi os i always put on redunant SD
[20:43] <bekks> thekrynn: how do you do that, do you have a raid controller for sd cards? :)
[20:44] <thekrynn> dell internal SD module
[20:44] <thekrynn> we have about 40 poweredges doing that in production as of right now, never had an issue
[20:44] <bekks> thekrynn: and how do you mirror them online?
[20:44] <thekrynn> http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/poweredge-idsdm-whitepaper-en.pdf
[20:45] <bekks> thekrynn: the simple answer would have been "yes" ;)
[20:46] <thekrynn> ive just never run that many instances of ubuntu on non-bbc backed... ive never had an issue with iops so to say, btu the only thing ive noticed on esxi non-bbc volumes is awful max MBps write
[20:46] <mhoney> why wouldyou want redundancy for esxi os?  you dont put your vm's on the os drive
[20:46] <mhoney> i boot my esx servers off usb
[20:47] <mhoney> just save your vm configs once in a while
[20:47] <bekks> mhoney: Because you dont want your ESX to be dying suddenly :)
[20:47] <thekrynn> yeah.. the configs dying doesnt worry me, since our stack is designed for auto deploy
[20:47] <mhoney> ssd and hdds all have smart these days.. highly unlikely your going to get an instant failure
[20:48] <mhoney> plus, if the os drive dies it wont take down your vms
[20:48] <thekrynn> the one thing that concerns me is that if i put 10 instances of ubuntu on an SSD without BBC, is that there would be some sort of write penalty for just standard OS transactions
[20:48] <JakesDen> so i am back now
[20:49] <thekrynn> unless anyone has tried doing iSCSI based VMFS for OS
[20:49] <JakesDen> my laptop started displaying random symbols and icons and showed blured lines of my desktop and finaly rebooted
[20:50] <mhoney> time for a new laptop JakesDen
[20:50] <mhoney> or maybe just new ram
[20:53] <Amit_> S
[20:53] <Amit_> Hey guys
[20:54] <atlaspaine> hello all
[20:54] <atlaspaine> I am harold.
[20:54] <atlaspaine> Who goes there?
[20:54] <Amit_> I kinda mezzed up my system
[20:54] <guntbert> atlaspaine: welcome to the Ubuntu support channel. Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[20:54] <Amit_> I just removed all packages that had the word gnome in them
[20:55] <Amit_> And now ubuntu is kinda dead
[20:55] <atlaspaine> yes. One. When my laptop goes into suspend. It freezes and takes 1 minute to resume. What is going on?
[20:55] <digglr> whats a good graphics card with linux support for 4k?
[20:56] <Ben64> probably any nvidia card
[20:56] <JakesDen> it just did it again, search jaksden laptop error ubuntu mate on youtube to see it
[20:56] <conrad_> exit
[20:56] <Amit_> Anyone?
[20:57] <Ben64> JakesDen: post actual video
[20:57] <JakesDen> ?
[20:57] <MonkeyDust> Amit_  why did you do that?
[20:57] <Amit_> Noone can help me please?
[20:57] <Amit_> I wanted fo uninstall the gnome desktop environment
[20:57] <Ben64> Amit_: sounds like a good time to reinstall
[20:58] <bekks> Amit_: So reinstall the package ubuntu-desktop
[20:58] <JakesDen> i recently switched to compiz so i switched back and i will see if it sitll does it
[20:58] <Amit_> Yeah i am downloading ubuntu rn
[20:58] <Amit_> And i cant install anything cuz cant c9nnect to internrdt
[20:58] <Ben64> or if you want, xubuntu, lubuntu, kubuntu
[20:58] <Amit_> Yeah i mezzed up badly
[20:58] <JakesDen> Ben64: what do you mean
[20:59] <Ben64> JakesDen: nobody is going to search for your video on youtube, post the link to it here
[20:59] <JakesDen> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CxsaMmg51c
[21:00] <Ben64> yep, time to get a new laptop
[21:00] <JakesDen> why?
[21:00] <Ben64> because it's very likely broken
[21:00] <JakesDen> nope
[21:00] <Ben64> oh ok, so thats not the screen all screwed up in the video
[21:01] <JakesDen> seems like it was compiz playing up
[21:01] <JakesDen> i switched back to marco and it seems fine
[21:01] <Ben64> marco?
[21:02] <JakesDen> marco window manager
[21:02] <digglr> i tried 2 nvidia cards and both flickered on me
[21:03] <Ben64> JakesDen: then i'd have to guess the problem is your video card, probably heat related
[21:03] <JakesDen> marco software compositor to be more precise
[21:03] <JakesDen> i dont have a video card
[21:03] <Ben64> you do, or you'd have no video output
[21:03] <JakesDen> and this laptop is always is hot enough to hurt me anyway
[21:03] <Ben64> there you go, case closed
[21:04] <JakesDen> but thats this laptops fault cause it is old
[21:04] <Ben64> problem is heat related, fix your laptop
[21:04] <JakesDen> it was just compiz playing up as it has stoped now
[21:04] <Ben64> no, it's a hardware issue for sure
[21:04] <mhoney> why doesn't transparency work with tilde under ubuntu mate 16.04?
[21:05] <JakesDen> and it is even hotter then before it played up
[21:05] <JakesDen> it doesnt do it with marco only compiz
[21:05] <Ben64> because compiz probably increases gpu load
[21:06] <Ben64> but really, if the laptop is "hot enough to hurt" you need to fix that
[21:06] <JakesDen> compiz was fine before i configered it
[21:06] <EriC^^> reset it
[21:06] <JakesDen> it is on a laptop cooler now
[21:06] <EriC^^> dconf reset -f /org/compiz
[21:06] <Ben64> that doesn't fix the problem
[21:07] <Ben64> open it up, clean dust, maybe re-do thermal interface
[21:07] <JakesDen> it cools it down
[21:07] <JakesDen> done that already
[21:07] <Ben64> not good enough if it still gets that hot
[21:07] <Jakey3> is openbox in active development?
[21:07] <JakesDen> it is not that hot now i used the cooler
[21:08] <Ben64> fix your laptop or you'll need to get a new laptop soon
[21:08] <OmegaA> Does the live installer have a log?
[21:08] <Amit_> .
[21:08] <Amit_> Ok my router died for a min
[21:09] <OmegaA> The installer keeps hanging after the 'Who Are You?' step.
[21:09] <Amit_> So i am gonna try to live boot from usb and salvage my files, how can i do that?
[21:09] <Ben64> OmegaA: if you go to "try ubuntu" and run the installer from there, i think you can see logs and stuff
[21:10] <JakesDen> it is only very hot because it is a old laptop what cpu runs quite hot normaly and is still way in the heat tollerances of the cpu anyway
[21:10] <OmegaA> Also, is there any difference between booting the Live USB in legacy mode vs UEFI?
[21:11] <Ben64> JakesDen: i've been doing this longer than you've been alive. heat kills laptops, fix it or replace it
[21:13] <JakesDen> all of these laptops do the same and my dad gave it to me for free and he said it was verry hot normaly when he had it
[21:13] <OmegaA> Hmm, now it works. I don't know if it's because I didn't tell it to encrypt /home or because I booted it into UEFI mode.
[21:13] <Ben64> JakesDen: whatever, enjoy it while it lasts
[21:13] <JakesDen> and my dad is a certified dell computer fixer
[21:14] <Amit_> "Fixer"
[21:14] <OmegaA> 'certified'
[21:14] <Amit_> Lol
[21:14] <JakesDen> ?
[21:16] <SomeDamn_> I need a way to repair a remote link for ubuntu saucy
[21:17] <SomeDamn_> I'm getting this error trying to install a package
[21:17] <Ben64> 13.10 is way out of support
[21:17] <tgm4883> !saucy
[21:17] <SomeDamn_> Oh whoa
[21:17] <SomeDamn_> Ok, nevermind
[21:17] <Amit_> I suggest 14.04
[21:17] <bekks> I suggest 16.04
[21:18] <SomeDamn_> 1404? I read that and I was thinking that I should update to 16.04 not too long ago
[21:18] <Amit_>  Well i dont know what im talking about anyways
[21:18] <SomeDamn_> Ok
[21:18] <SomeDamn_> So, 16.04 is the right way to go then
[21:18] <Ben64> yeah, it's the newest and also LTS
[21:18] <Ben64> supported until 2021
[21:18] <Amit_> Oh just noticed i downloaded 16.04 too...
[21:18] <Amit_> Well thats nice
[21:19] <Amit_> What are the differences?
[21:19] <Ben64> between...?
[21:19] <Amit_> 14 and 16
[21:19] <Ben64> 14.04 and 16.04? 16.04 is 2 years newer
[21:19] <Amit_> K, but any big noticable changes maybe?
[21:20] <Amit_> Kk time to boot my computer into 16.04
[21:20] <Ben64> uh, systemd, newer packages
[21:20] <Ben64> no more fglrx
[21:20] <Amit_> Errr
[21:20] <Amit_> I have grub, how do u boot into usb?
[21:21] <Ben64> you use your bios
[21:21] <Amit_> Before grub?
[21:21] <Ben64> to boot a usb, yes
[21:22] <Amit_> Err... Theres a menu, i pressed boot devuce options, what now?
[21:22] <Amit_> Oh external isb hard drive?
[21:22] <mhoney> anyone have a recommendation for a decent 4 port raid controller?
[21:22] <Amit_> Yis found it
[21:23] <mhoney> my 3ware/lsi 9560se doesn't like the linux drivers in 16.04
[21:25] <Amit_> How can i get a list of all packages i installed with apt get?
[21:25] <\9> I found this snippet from somewhere on the internet (probably stack exchange) to do that: comm -23 <(apt-mark showmanual | sort -u) <(gzip -dc /var/log/installer/initial-status.gz | sed -n 's/^Package: //p' | sort -u)
[21:27] <Amit_> I guess that gives me a list of all packages, maybe there is a way of getting only those that I manually apt-get installed?
[21:28] <Amit_> But without using history
[21:28] <Amit_> Cuz i cleared it some times
[21:29] <stefan81925> hi, I accidentaly deleted the file /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql could someone please send me the content of it? I'm using 16.04. Thank you.
[21:31] <Amit_> How do I cd to a usb?
[21:32] <Muflo> stefan81925: you can discover from which package this file is coming from with "dpkg -S /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql"
[21:32] <Muflo> and then reinstall that package
[21:33] <stefan81925> Muflo: I tried to reinstall that package with: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install apparmor" - but the file is still missing :(
[21:35] <Muflo> "sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall <package-name>"
[21:37] <stefan81925> Muflo: Thank you!
[21:37] <Muflo> no stefan81925
[21:37] <Muflo> np
[21:40] <squinty> Amit_,  type mount.  you should see it listed there
[22:02] <Guest97511> how can I make instagram messenger feature work with 16.04?

[22:09] <Yaiyan> Running "sudo apt-get install mythtv" returns the error "The following packages have unmet dependencies.(\n) mythtv : Depends: mysql-server (\n) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[22:09] <Yaiyan> Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[22:09] <Yaiyan> 15.10***
[22:09] <bekks> Yaiyan: dpkg-reconfigure -a
[22:10] <Yaiyan> -a is an unknown option
[22:12] <Yaiyan> Am I probably just going to have to reinstall the OS, or is there an easy way around this?
[22:12] <Yaiyan> I had a nightmare install mariadb a few months ago, so databases and apt are doing my head in now :/
[22:12] <YankDownUnder> Yaiyan, sudo apt-get install --fix-broken
[22:13] <Yaiyan> YankDownUnder, made no difference
[22:13] <Yaiyan> http://pastebin.com/tSgxRg28
[22:13] <YankDownUnder> Yaiyan, "made no difference" doesn't tell us much...
[22:14] <d4rkfr06> hah
[22:14] <Yaiyan> YankDownUnder, the error from sudo apt-get install mythtv is identical to before ;)
[22:15] <d4rkfr06> Yaiyan, are you using 3rd party repos? Maybe you have some conflicts going on there.
[22:15] <YankDownUnder> Yaiyan, Have you tried going through "synaptic" and finding the errant libs and removing them/re-installing them?
[22:16] <Yaiyan> d4rkfr06, how do you check which other repo's you have installed?
[22:16] <Yaiyan> Off the top of my head, I think only one for chrome, and hal
[22:16] <Yaiyan> YankDownUnder, I'll try that, cheers
[22:17] <d4rkfr06> Yaiyan, check your /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:17] <Yaiyan> Oh, hmm
[22:17] <Yaiyan> Reinstalling mysql-client-core-5.6, will remove the mariadb stuff
[22:17] <Yaiyan> So maybe that'll help
[22:18] <Yaiyan> Yes, that worked :D
[22:18] <Yaiyan> Thanks, YankDownUnder
[22:18] <Yaiyan> d4rkfr06, thanks for the help :)

[22:53] <Princess||Dashie> I think so
[22:53] <YankDownUnder> mohitdaga05, Just a question for ya quickly - in the BIOS of that machine, do you have the serial COM's enabled or disabled?
[22:53] <Princess||Dashie> mohitdaga05, okay
[22:53] <mohitdaga05> the issue is i dont get kernel module as discribed here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[22:53] <Princess||Dashie> Yes
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> You should reboot the device
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> And retry
[22:54] <mohitdaga05> YankDownUnder : got to check
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> Key
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> Key,
[22:54] <key> Yeeaaa
[22:54] <mohitdaga05> Princess||Dashie : I will reboot and check for the serial com ports
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> Okay
[22:54] <mohitdaga05> will be right back if it works or otherwise
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> What is your problem? key.
[22:54] <Princess||Dashie> okay
[22:55] <mohitdaga05> thanks Princess||Dashie and YankDownUnder
[22:55] <Princess||Dashie> Your welcome.
[22:55] <key> Hi guys, I've connected my ubuntu 16.04 laptop to a Windows 8.1 laptopn via network cable and have pings form both boxes. also can browse through shared folders of Windows machine with nautilus. I'm going to save ddrescue output on the Windows machine's HDD. So tired to mount its drive from my ubuntu system first. the command was: sudo /sbin/mount.nfs -w 192.168.253.1:/Users/Jason/Desktop /mnt/network_bkp/ . but after a while I get this 
[22:55] <key> ..time out  ||| just copied
[22:55] <YankDownUnder> mohitdaga05, In some instances, the IRQ required by the sound device is not properly virtualised...so in disabling COM ports (especially if they're not required or being used) will free up the IRQ's, and the sound device might "appear" and start working...just kinda been there done that a few times...
[22:55] <Princess||Dashie> xd
[22:56] <Princess||Dashie> Okay
[22:56] <Princess||Dashie> But what is the problem what are you trying to reach here?
[22:56] <key> I'
[22:56] <key> sorry ... :D
[22:57] <Princess||Dashie> For what key?
[22:57] <key> Princess||Dashie I'mt trying to mount a ntfs drive on the connected Windows 8.1 machine to my ubuntu System
[22:57] <Princess||Dashie> Okay
[22:57] <Princess||Dashie> And It Fails?
[22:58] <key> Princess||Dashie for wrong time pressing enter :D
[22:58] <Princess||Dashie> Okey
[22:58] <key> Princess||Dashie yes, it works a while and gives connection timeout evetually
[22:58] <SomeDamnBody> Is lts still available for 14.04
[22:58] <Princess||Dashie> Hmmm
[22:59] <Princess||Dashie> you should Flush the Connections
[22:59] <Princess||Dashie> and Expand the Connection between
[22:59] <key> Princess||Dashie on both systems? I already restarted my ubuntu
[22:59] <Princess||Dashie> So that the device will allow timeouts
[22:59] <Princess||Dashie> Yes
[22:59] <YankDownUnder> (change the MTU of the connection to 1500 or 1536 instead of automatic, disable/re-enable the connection and see if that fixes the connectivity?)
[23:00] <Princess||Dashie> Is also something you could do indeed...
[23:00] <key> Princess||Dashie Thanks I'll google for it and do that
[23:00] <Princess||Dashie> Okay your welcome.
[23:01] <Princess||Dashie> Is there any way I could sniff inbound and Outbound connections over Port 80/443 UDP?
[23:01] <Princess||Dashie> *Packets
[23:02] <Princess||Dashie> I am getting the error : Could not bind socket to port 80 : Socket Not Permitted.
[23:02] <key> Princess||Dashie If it doesn't work however, never mind. I'll still love you :D Appreciate your time and attention
[23:02] <Ay7agaaaavg> U must be root princess
[23:02] <Princess||Dashie> Your welcome key <3
[23:02] <Princess||Dashie> I know
[23:02] <Ay7agaaaavg> So something else already use it
[23:02] <Princess||Dashie> But I am creating a AntiVirus that filters and isolates almost every connection including the packets.
[23:03] <Princess||Dashie> No it doesn't
[23:03] <Princess||Dashie> it's also being forced to be Bind.
[23:03] <Ay7agaaaavg> Check netstat and get sure
[23:03] <Princess||Dashie> I already did
[23:03] <Ay7agaaaavg> Listening to local host ?
[23:03] <Princess||Dashie> Wait
[23:04] <Princess||Dashie> Lemme Try something I got something in mind
[23:04] <Princess||Dashie> brb
[23:05] <Princess||Dashie> Fixed it
[23:05] <Ay7agaaaavg> How ?
[23:05] <Princess||Dashie> I did not specify a Specific port
[23:05] <Ay7agaaaavg> Lol
[23:06] <Princess||Dashie> Jup
[23:06] <Ay7agaaaavg> Nice catch
[23:06] <Princess||Dashie> Thats what you get when your coding those thousands of lines....
[23:06] <Ay7agaaaavg> For sure , for sure
[23:06] <Princess||Dashie> Besides it isn't wrong to debug your code once a while.
[23:07] <Erige> Anyone running 4.5 or 4.6 kernel on 16.04?
[23:07] <Princess||Dashie> I Ain't
[23:08] <Princess||Dashie> Ay7agaaaavg, Would you like to code a project with me?
[23:08] <gkm42> how do i make usb drive bootable from iso image? im on debian crunchbang++
[23:08] <gkm42> ?
[23:08] <Princess||Dashie> Simple
[23:09] <Princess||Dashie> Install a ISO to USB program.
[23:09] <Princess||Dashie> Search google for it
[23:09] <k1l> gkm42: ask the debian chrunchbang guys what programs they ship. ubuntu images can be copied with dd
[23:09] <Princess||Dashie> That will unpack the ISO and Patch the right files to the USB so that it's bootable the next time.
[23:10] <bazhang> !google | Princess||Dashie
[23:10] <mohitdaga05> Princess||Dashie: sorry it still doesnt work
[23:10] <Princess||Dashie> xD
[23:10] <k1l> Princess||Dashie: ubuntu isos are hybrid isos anyway.
[23:10] <gkm42> unetbootin doesnt work with debian
[23:10] <Princess||Dashie> Really mohit?
[23:10] <Princess||Dashie> Hmmm
[23:10] <mohitdaga05> yes Princess||Dashie
[23:10] <k1l> gkm42: this is #ubuntu please ask in #debian
[23:10] <SchrodingersScat> !liveUSB | gkm42, if it doesn't mention it, dd is also normally an option.
[23:11] <Princess||Dashie> Could you send me Details of your SoundCard?
[23:11] <mohitdaga05> the same paste?
[23:11] <Princess||Dashie> No just the ID and stuff
[23:11] <bazhang> Princess||Dashie, please take the excessive chit chat and enter key usage elsewhere
[23:11] <Princess||Dashie> the name etc
[23:11] <Princess||Dashie> bazhang whats your problem?
[23:11] <Princess||Dashie> Sorry but it is not my problem you can't help people atm.
[23:12] <Princess||Dashie> ...
[23:12]  * mohitdaga05 did lspci -v | grep -A7 -i "audio"
[23:12] <bazhang> Princess||Dashie, I just asked you those issues, thats the problem
[23:12] <Princess||Dashie> Ain't no issues with me friend
[23:12]  * mohitdaga05 got pastebin.com/NNzQStZ7 this as output
[23:12] <mohitdaga05> www.pastebin.com/NNzQStZ7
[23:12] <Princess||Dashie> Rechecking it...
[23:13] <Princess||Dashie> You runt it as Root?
[23:13] <Princess||Dashie> sudo lspci -v | grep -A6 -i "audio"
[23:13]  * mohitdaga05 did that as well 
[23:13] <mohitdaga05> http://pastebin.com/amfcuDeN
[23:13] <Princess||Dashie> Okay
[23:13] <mohitdaga05> notice one of them has gone
[23:14] <mohitdaga05> and details of others have come
[23:14] <mohitdaga05> but I can't see kernel details
[23:14] <Princess||Dashie> Yes
[23:14] <Princess||Dashie> Im still Thinking of any thing that could help you. gimme a sec please.
[23:15] <mohitdaga05> thanks Princess||Dashie
[23:16] <Princess||Dashie> mohitdaga05, Look it seems that your trying to start 64bit with 32bit... thats a Almost impossible thing may I say.
[23:16] <Princess||Dashie> It's incompatible.
[23:16] <mohitdaga05> Princess||Dashie : start as in?
[23:16] <mohitdaga05> do you mean to say I have a 32 bit processor?
[23:17] <Princess||Dashie> Also
[23:17] <Princess||Dashie> You cannot use 64 bit with 32 bit
[23:17] <Princess||Dashie> Thats why they're called different by there names.
[23:18] <mohitdaga05> so are you confirming that i have a 32 bit processor?
[23:18] <Princess||Dashie> YES
[23:18] <Princess||Dashie> Oops
[23:18] <Princess||Dashie> caps
[23:18] <k1l> what cpu is it?
[23:18] <mohitdaga05> well i have Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)
[23:18] <k1l> that is in no way a 32bit cpu
[23:19] <mohitdaga05> k1l: even i was thinking that
[23:19] <Princess||Dashie> I am talking about the NVIDIA device
[23:19] <k1l> Princess||Dashie: please stop giving bad advice if you are unsure then just say that instead of saying wrong things.
[23:19] <mohitdaga05> k1l: its okay
[23:19] <k1l> Princess||Dashie: the nvidia cards are not tied to the system running 32 or 64bit.
[23:20] <mohitdaga05> k1l : Princess||Dashie have left to meet prince
[23:20] <mohitdaga05> anyways. I thank for even listening
[23:20] <mohitdaga05> k1l: do you have any solution to this bizzare situation i am in?
[23:20] <mohitdaga05> there has to be something wrong i am doing
[23:21] <k1l> look into pulseaudio and alsamixer if something is muted
[23:21] <mohitdaga05> i saw them
[23:21] <nedstark> pulse audio volume control
[23:21] <mohitdaga05> k1l: that was two days back.
[23:21] <nedstark> pavucontrol
[23:21] <mohitdaga05> then it was not muted
[23:22] <mohitdaga05> now i cannot even go to alsamixer
[23:22] <mohitdaga05> no such file or directory
[23:22] <mohitdaga05> k1l, ndestark : And it will not even install it
[23:22] <mohitdaga05> Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package alsamixer
[23:22] <nedstark> not even with a sudo apt-get install pavucontrol
[23:23] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : yes
[23:23]  * mohitdaga05 just pressed sudo apt-get update
[23:23] <nedstark> can you install anything new at all?
[23:23] <k1l> mohitdaga05: just do "alsamixer" in terminal
[23:24] <mohitdaga05> now pavucontrol is getting installed
[23:24] <k1l> mohitdaga05: its installed on every ubuntu
[23:24] <mohitdaga05> i did sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[23:24] <nedstark> sometimes a reboot helps if you plugged something in
[23:25] <mohitdaga05> nedstark, k1l: when i type alsamixer (I can autocomplete it) but the gui will not come up
[23:25] <mohitdaga05> nestark, k1l : its strange
[23:25] <k1l> its a terminal program.
[23:25] <mohitdaga05> gives this error cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[23:26] <k1l> so you changed already stuff in your sound setup?
[23:26] <mohitdaga05> i did having trouble since a week now
[23:26] <mohitdaga05> here and there on the internet
[23:27] <mohitdaga05> k1l, nedstark: What is the best way to solve this?
[23:27] <mohitdaga05> i dont want to reinstall
[23:27] <nedstark> did you try "Additional Drivers"?
[23:27] <mohitdaga05> nedstark: can you elaborate?
[23:27] <nedstark> search for drivers, an app called Additional Drivers should appear
[23:27] <nedstark> if you're in unity
[23:28] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : I got it
[23:28] <k1l> mohitdaga05: get the logs like dmesg/syslog and sound logs and see what is going wrong. then look at what you already changed and if that is now blocking it?
[23:28] <mohitdaga05> what do i do with additional driveR?
[23:28]  * k1l is going afk now, so i cant really help digging here.
[23:28] <nedstark> it will search to see if you can install any proprietary drivers
[23:29] <uskerine> hi, i would like to setup a VPN for against an ubuntu 12.05 server -command line only-, which should I use?
[23:29] <mohitdaga05> k1l : thanks for your help
[23:29] <uskerine> specifically I would like the server being able to provide a remote client an IP inside the LAN
[23:30] <mohitdaga05> uskerine: see this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
[23:30] <SchrodingersScat> !vpn
[23:30] <nedstark> if you don't need any additional drivers, then i would reboot with all of your sound hardware plugged in, then use pavucontrol to adjust your Output Devices to what you want to play sound on
[23:32] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : thanks. But isnt it strange that I am not able to run alsamixer
[23:32] <nedstark> i never use alsamixer myself
[23:32] <nedstark> pulse audio is an interface with it, pulse audio volume control makes it easier to use
[23:33] <mohitdaga05> i can use pavucontrol. the bar moves there as the sound is playing
[23:33] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : but cant hear anything
[23:33] <nedstark> look at Output Devices and click on mute audio button that looks like a speaker
[23:34] <nedstark> just make sure its not muted, and that your output device is correct
[23:35] <mohitdaga05> well nedstark: it doesnt show any hardware output devices
[23:35] <mohitdaga05> but nedstark: it only shows dummy output
[23:35] <nedstark> this is a fresh installation?
[23:35] <nedstark> you never had sound?
[23:35] <mohitdaga05> yeppe.
[23:35] <mohitdaga05> i never had sound
[23:35] <mohitdaga05> apparently earlier I didnot need it
[23:36] <nedstark> what are you using for sound
[23:36] <nedstark> the hardware
[23:36] <mohitdaga05> but now i am doing research on sound recognition so need it
[23:36] <mohitdaga05> i am plugging the earphones
[23:36] <mohitdaga05> which work on my phone and laptop
[23:36] <nedstark> what kind of laptop
[23:37] <mohitdaga05> hp
[23:37] <mohitdaga05> with ubuntu 14.04
[23:37] <nedstark> the model?
[23:37] <mohitdaga05> g62 its an old pc
[23:38] <dbz2k> is it possible to have firefox esr and regular firefox installed together?
[23:38] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : i want it to run on a deskop PC  I just bought
[23:39] <mohitdaga05> nedstark: any ideas?
[23:39] <nedstark> mohitdaga05, i found an old thread that said g62 sound can be fixed by installing linux-backports-modules
[23:40] <nedstark> i don't see that package anywhere though
[23:40] <nedstark> it was in lucid
[23:40] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : sorry for misunderstanding. on G62 the earphone works. But on my new PC it doesnt
[23:41] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : new PC config : 6700k intel i7. Asus z170p motherboard
[23:42] <lone-genius> Hey guys its LG again
[23:42] <nedstark> mohitdaga05, there are instructions on how to get sound working on the Asus z170p at http://askubuntu.com/questions/672187/no-audio-output-devices-detected-in-new-computer-build-with-skylake-z170-mothe
[23:43] <nedstark> it involves putting a vivid kernel module into 14,04, which isn't a normal practice.   sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oem-audio-hda-daily-lts-vivid-dkms
[23:44] <ikonia> sounds like the worst idea possible
[23:44] <lone-genius> so i was jw whats a great SSH sever i could install on my ubuntu system that would let me look at files where i can see what IP has or is connected and what password and username it was that they tried???
[23:44] <nedstark> i figure its worth a shot if you're considering reinstalling
[23:44] <ikonia> lone-genius: you will never see someones password
[23:44] <ikonia> lone-genius: the normal ssh account will show you what they tried to auth as
[23:44] <ikonia> ssh daemon sorry
[23:44] <lone-genius> well how would i pull up its man page?
[23:45] <lone-genius> like whats it called?
[23:45] <ikonia> man ssh or man sshd
[23:45] <lone-genius> and its a ssh server?
[23:45] <ikonia> openssh-server is the package
[23:45] <ikonia> it's the gnu ssh server/client
[23:45] <ikonia> pretty much every unix box will run it by default
[23:45] <lone-genius> okay thanks guys...and where would the files b located where i could see it?
[23:46] <mohitdaga05> nedstark : thanks
[23:46] <ikonia> lone-genius: what version of ubuntu are you using
[23:46] <mohitdaga05> but sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
[23:46] <mohitdaga05> doesnt work
[23:46] <mohitdaga05> nedstark: it says Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily'. Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
[23:48] <nedstark> mohitdaga05, i looked at it, its an old ppa

[23:49] <nedstark> mohitdaga05, you might try running through this list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[23:49] <mohitdaga05> thanks OerHeks : it seems we didnt read properly
[23:53] <OerHeks> mohitdaga05, alsamixer should have an option for headphone settings, hit F3, and maximize the window to see all options
[23:53] <OerHeks> if this does not help, hit F6 select soundcard
[23:53] <mohitdaga05> OerHeks : strangely I am not able to run alsamixer
[23:54] <OerHeks> not from terminal??
[23:54] <mohitdaga05> OerHeks: Although it autocomplets on the terminal
[23:54] <mohitdaga05> OerHeks : it says this cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[23:55] <OerHeks> odd...
[23:55] <OerHeks> do a test, run a liveusb and see if this is really so
[23:55]  * mohitdaga05 in the meanwhile have installed DKMS and oem-audio...***
[23:56] <diprosaurous> Hey, is it possible to make Unity's alt-tab raise all windows of whichever application I select?
[23:57] <mohitdaga05> OerHeks it seems mixer is not installed
[23:58] <YankDownUnder> mohitdaga05, Do you have sound/mixer(s) with a boot to a liveUSB/CD/DVD? Just wondering...
[23:58] <OerHeks> it should, i think you have tried so many solutions that the system is more broken now, try a live session.
[23:59] <mohitdaga05> YankDownUnder: havent tried it
[23:59] <mohitdaga05> arranging for a live CD
[23:59] <Erige> Anyone have an recommendations for 8gb ram with ssd? is 512mb to low?
[23:59] <mohitdaga05> OerHeks I too think that.
