[00:01] <Sheepolution> Or maybe it's the dust, that got tossed around during the transfer and is now affecting my graphics card? I dunno
[00:01] <k1l_> please check all the hardware cables and devices first.
[00:08] <kristhian> hello what is a startx command do?
[00:09] <k1l_> kristhian: dont use that on ubuntu
[00:09] <k1l_> kristhian: if you want to restart the desktop restart the lightdm. "sudo service lightdm restart"
[00:09] <Sheepolution> Okay so I found something loose that is from the graphics card. This might be it.
[00:10] <kristhian> ok
[00:10] <kristhian> it will restart the service from scratch?
[00:11] <kristhian> i mean clean install?
[00:11] <k1l_> kristhian: it will restart the whole xorg setup, yes
[00:11] <k1l_> no, that is no clean install.
[00:11] <kristhian> ah, so can i try this first and see what happens?
[00:12] <kristhian> is it possible that using this command will fix my unity luancher and dash
[00:12] <k1l_> i doubt
[00:12] <Admin__> and solve world peace
[00:12] <W00dP3ck3r> Why not reinstall all the packages needed for xOrg?
[00:13] <k1l_> kristhian: try the hardware enablement stack. it will bring you a new kernel and xorg version.
[00:13] <Sheepolution> Oh wait, no I don't think this has anything to do with a graphics card
[00:13] <Sheepolution> http://i.imgur.com/0uHMGKy.jpg
[00:13] <k1l_> kristhian: but i still dont know why vbox should have broken the desktop on the hostmachine
[00:14] <kristhian> i duno too
[00:15] <Sheepolution> I also used to have 2 screens connected. Could this have anything to do with it?
[00:17] <k1l_> Sheepolution: please make a foto of that screen at startup you mean. i still dont know what that should be
[00:19] <alexmate> Hi
[00:20] <Sheepolution> k1l_: It's the Grub screen
[00:21] <k1l_> Sheepolution: then chose the ubuntu entry?
[00:21] <El_Oscuro> #Soylent
[00:22] <Sheepolution> kiki1: When I do that I get the purple screen
[00:22] <k1l_> Sheepolution: what screen?
[00:23] <Sheepolution> Also doing ctrl + alt + f1 doesn't give me a terminal
[00:23] <Sheepolution> A purple screen with nothing else on it
[00:24] <k1l_> when in grub, press e , then remove "quiet splash" from the kernel line, then press the combo named down there to boot this entry. then you see no purple screen but the messages
[00:27] <Sheepolution> ...773c05 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff -> ...773c05 ro $vt_handoff
[00:27] <Sheepolution> Like that=
[00:27] <Sheepolution> ?
[00:27] <k1l_> yes
[00:27] <Sheepolution> I don't see a combo
[00:28] <k1l_> ctrl+x
[00:30] <Sheepolution> Oh now I see or f10
[00:30] <Sheepolution> I still get a purple screen
[00:31] <kristhian> brb
[00:31] <k1l_> then something wasnt set right.
[00:33] <Sheepolution> Weird
[00:34] <Sheepolution> I'm going to bed for now, I'll ask here again tomorrow. See ya
[00:38] <escher_> @search wool omnibus
[00:43] <percival_> I'm very new to ubuntu and just installed on a laptop but the wifi cuts out after every 5 minutes of use. Anyone have any ideas? I tried to turn off power saving mode but it is still disconnecting.
[00:46] <cappe> I'm infected with Ebury and since I'm using Ubuntu and need removal instructions I'm turning to you guys. how can I remove this backdoor?
[00:48] <zykotick9> percival_: what network device are you using?  "lspci | grep -i net" might show it?  this _might_ help the channel?!?!
[00:48] <k1l_> cappe: hmm, i would just make a clean new install. because you never know what was changed
[00:48] <SchrodingersScat> ^ can't be trusted
[00:49] <cappe> guess you're right, damnit
[00:50] <k1l_> cappe: see https://www.cert-bund.de/ebury-faq
[00:51] <cappe> could it reside in BIOS in any way so a new installation of the OS wouldn't remove the backdoor?
[00:51] <k1l_> i doubt that
[00:51] <percival_> zykotick9: its a realtek network adapter. so you would guess its a driver issue?
[00:54] <zykotick9> percival_: i'm really NOT the person to know... but maybe?!?!  i've got nothin' to suggest, sorry :(  best of luck!
[00:55] <cappe> have u guys checked the command: # ssh -G <-- if that command does NOT report an illegal command response (before the correct flags)... chances you're infected with this one. Could it be planted in the system from your site in any way?
[00:56] <cappe> could it reside in your .iso-files I mean?
[00:56] <cappe> this one is really tricky to find
[00:56] <cappe> but the ssh -G
[00:56] <cappe> should tell
[00:58] <cappe> this is from my # ipcs -m <---- 0x3c81b7f5 393221     cappe      ---->666<<----        4096       0                   (666 also could be an indication of this backdoor).
[01:00] <cappe> this one is really complicated, criminals use it frequently and it even gains root access and won't show up in netstat (the connection)
[01:01] <kristhian> k1l_,
[01:01] <kristhian> i managed to resolve the problem
[01:02] <kristhian> the problem is that when i installed virtualbox
[01:02] <kristhian> it happens to delete my unity
[01:02] <kristhian> terminal and some of installed things on my system
[01:03] <kristhian> the problem now is now i don't have terminal
[01:03] <kristhian> but it directs me to xterm
[01:03] <kristhian> http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_from_2016-06-14_08_58_39-Hi2WIJX6.1465866007.png
[01:03] <cappe> so, I have done what I can to tell you about this backdoor, I'm badly infected, and I guess a lot you guys are as well.
[01:07] <merced> what would ssh -G do?
[01:07] <prappl93> ssh -G just prints the configuration of your SSH
[01:07] <cappe> it should NOT report "Illegal command"
[01:07] <merced> not on my system
[01:08] <cappe> wait
[01:08] <prappl93> ssh -G host
[01:08] <cappe> sorry, I'm tired
[01:08] <merced> i just get unknown option
[01:09] <cappe> IF you are infected ssh -G response should tell you the command was illegal
[01:09] <somsip> cappe: you need to provide a reliable external source that confirms this.
[01:11] <cappe> the command should tell "Incorrect command" - - - if it doesn't show the "Incorrect command" you are very possibly infected.
[01:11] <cappe> https://www.cert-bund.de/ebury-faq
[01:11] <cappe> it tells about the backdoor and removals
[01:11] <somsip> cappe: from Sep 2014? Seriously...
[01:11] <cappe> guess it has been along quite a time then
[01:13] <cappe> so TYPE: # sshd -G <------ NOTE: if you DO NOT get a ERROR about Illegal command <-- then you are infected.
[01:13] <prappl93> ssh != sshd
[01:13] <prappl93> The commands alone
[01:13] <merced> i feel like this was fixed
[01:17] <de-facto> cappe where do you get that info from "ssh -G" or "sshd -G"?
[01:18] <cappe> TYPE: # ssh -G <- if you do not get a message about the command being illegal you are infected. SO SORRY for being so confused about it, I have worked a long long time to find the spooky in my linuxsystem, now I know what was wrong - a rootkit/backdoor. You really should this in your iso files from your mirrors.
[01:19] <de-facto> cappe can you provide a  source for that "ssh -G" ? im unsure what this should do...
[01:22] <cappe> this is alarming I think
[01:22] <cappe> https://www.webmasterworld.com/linux/4655550.htm
[01:23] <lordcirth_> Mar 19, 2014.  That's ages ago
[01:23] <zykotick9> de-facto: my ssh doesn't have a -G?!?!
[01:24] <cappe> It's still out there, obviously
[01:25] <de-facto> zykotick9 mine neither, hence i asked cappe about his source for that command. i dont know why he thinks ssh -G would reveal infections with that
[01:27] <prappl93> All I see about -G in the ssh manpage is "-G causes SSH to print its configuration after evaluating Host and Match blocks and exit." I'm on 16.04 LTS
[01:28] <prappl93> So when I did "ssh -G localhost" it dumped the config info
[01:28] <prappl93> Also using included ssh version in 16.04 LTS
[01:29] <cappe> try # ssh -G <-- without the localhost
[01:29] <gmas> hi all! I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and I've compiled 4.7-rc2. Do I need to install linux-libc-dev_4.7.0-rc2-custom-2_amd64.deb in order to have the DKMS i915 driver build properly ?
[01:29] <de-facto> cappe why? can you provide a source where you read that?
[01:30] <prappl93> cappe, also, why are you running ssh as root?
[01:30] <zykotick9> de-facto: ?.  sidenote, if a box has been "infected" or root by someone else - my ONLY advice is like k1l_'s = reinstall
[01:30] <cappe> :S
[01:30] <prappl93> ssh -G spits out the flags to use with SSH as it's improper syntax as host is required.
[01:31] <cappe> if it is infected the LINE about illegal flag shows up BEFORE the right flags
[01:32] <prappl93> Is there a CVE about this issue?
[01:34] <cappe> its' obvious the system is hacked if you use a flag that does not exists in ssh and you do NOT get a "Illegal argument" first
[01:34] <kristhian> question
[01:35] <kristhian> i wanted to remove oidentd on the system
[01:35] <kristhian> but when i tried it has error like this -> http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_from_2016-06-14_09_32_39-5bT3cz9N.1465868066.png
[01:35] <kristhian> the highlighted part
[01:36] <k_sze[work]> I have run into a weird problem on the Jetson TK1, running Ubuntu 14.04.
[01:36] <k_sze[work]> Somehow I filled the 16GB built-in flash memory while salting it.
[01:36] <prappl93> de-facto, the only source I could find that might support what cappe is talking about is this: http://www.welivesecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/operation_windigo.pdf
[01:37] <k_sze[work]> And how I can't seem to actually make free space.
[01:37] <prappl93> Again, something from 2014
[01:37] <k_sze[work]> I have already removed some files, but the output of `df -BM` is still weird:
[01:37] <k_sze[work]>  /dev/root         13984M 13826M        0M 100% /
[01:37] <jackcom> i want to connect local pc with ssh. but i can’t
[01:37] <jackcom> :(
[01:37] <k_sze[work]> That's 13826M used out of 13984M total, but then it still says 0M free.
[01:38] <jackcom> ssh: connect to host 192.168.3.21 port 22: Connection refused
[01:38] <Jordan_U> cappe: This channel is not for public service announcements. If you'd like help reinstalling we can help with that, but please stop posting messages that are not support questions or answers.
[01:39] <prappl93> jackcom, does the machine in question, 192.168.3.21, have openssh-server installed?
[01:39] <k_sze[work]> Looks like I've hit the 5% reserved space.
[01:40] <jackcom> prappl93: how can i  know it? prappl93 ?
[01:40] <prappl93> jackcom, open a terminal and type "which sshd"
[01:41] <prappl93> If it's installed, you should see something along the lines of /usr/sbin/sshd
[01:41] <jackcom> nothing happened. prappl93
[01:41] <jackcom> how can i install openssh?
[01:41] <prappl93> jackcom, you will need to install and start the ssh server on it. To do so, you will need to use apt or apt-get to install openssh-server
[01:42] <de-facto> prappl93 thanks now thats an interessting read :) page 57...
[01:43] <jackcom> prappl93: thanks i got it
[01:43] <jackcom> :)
[01:43]  * kristhian secret lovers that's what we are
[01:43] <prappl93> jackcom, no problem.
[01:44] <kristhian> prappl93,
[01:44] <kristhian> can you help me figure this out
[01:45] <kristhian>  http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_from_2016-06-14_09_32_39-5bT3cz9N.1465868066.png <- my problem is on the highlighted text
[01:47] <prappl93> Does "echo $PATH" return anything?
[01:47] <prappl93> I'm assuming it won't.
[01:47] <prappl93> Considering that's saying that your PATH variable isn't set...
[01:49] <zykotick9> prappl93: note, this does help the channel, also try and limit replies to one line "/msg ubottu who"
[01:49] <kristhian> yes it does return
[01:49] <kristhian> wait i will picpaste it again hence i could not copy the content

[01:51] <dani_> cia's later
[01:51] <poker_face> kristhian, is that fun?
[01:52] <kristhian> what fun?
[01:52] <poker_face> the pict
[01:52] <kristhian> ah
[01:52] <kristhian> hehe
[01:52] <poker_face> downloaded..
[01:53] <kristhian> nope it is a problem i have with the system
[01:53] <poker_face> thats broken
[01:53] <kristhian> thanks about that zykotick9
[01:53] <kristhian> how to fix it?
[01:54] <poker_face> downloaded as html - picpaste screwed
[01:54] <poker_face> should be "http://picpaste.de/extpics/Screenshot_from_2016-06-14_09_50_00-ZRIljy2b.png"

[01:55] <poker_face> kristhian, nice desktop, but the shot is too small - terminla is blurred
[01:56] <poker_face> lol
[01:56] <prappl93> kristhian, I'm not sure why this error is coming up as it is. The message it's giving you is telling you that the PATH variable is not set, which is not the case or else it'd be extremely inconvenient to run commands.

[01:56] <gshmu> Ubuntu 14.04 kernel 4.4.0-24 wake from suspend: http://img.vim-cn.com/0e/67f9664ad8df58ca8a3cd8e77b92c72221ac66.png
[01:56] <poker_face> good looking desktop, btw
[01:57] <kristhian> lol
[01:57] <gshmu> the problem same with kernel 4.2.0
[01:57] <poker_face> cya guys
[01:58] <kristhian> who the hell is that?
[01:58] <kristhian> was*
[02:02] <zykotick9> kristhian: ahhh... the link you are sharing has a typo.  it's teRmbin.com...
[02:03] <_AxS_> hey all -- i'm trying to diagnose some xorg issues with this ubuntu install (i am not an ubuntu user); whenever i reboot or restart lightdm, the current xorg.conf is moved to xorg.conf.[date] and a new one is created from boilerplate.  I have _no_ idea what is doing this though, is this a custom thing the vendor did or is it some sort of ubuntu thing thats done to make nvidia work?
[02:04] <kristhian> http://termbin.com/ow8i
[02:05] <zykotick9> kristhian: note, i'd already corrected and seen the paste... not much there, it's gonna remove oidentd...  not sure what the command is you are running?
[02:06] <prappl93> zykotick9, from kristhian's earlier screenshot, they are running "apt-get remove oidentd" and it gives them that far. When they hit "y" to accept it, they are then getting an error from dpkg that PATH isn't set.
[02:07] <zykotick9> prappl93: oh!  that's messed.
[02:07]  * zykotick9 couldn't see the screenshot :(
[02:08] <prappl93> zykotick9, which is why I'm confused by it and had a few lines in a row earlier regarding the "echo $PATH" command and me thinking it wouldn't print anything but it did.
[02:08] <zykotick9> prappl93: sounds more like a "broken package" to me...
[02:09] <zykotick9> prappl93: the user's PATH and dpkg's aren't going to be the same...
[02:15] <adamt_> exit
[02:16] <jackcom> there is a way that i can find what port is opened?
[02:17] <_AxS_> jackcom: netstat -a  lists all opened ports ...
[02:18] <jackcom> _AxS_: thanks
[02:18] <_AxS_> jackcom: the ones you are interested in are likely the listening ports, 0.0.0.0:[whatever]
[02:18] <prappl93> _AxS_, I think I might have found an answer regarding your issue you described earlier. It's from the forums located here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=173325
[02:19] <jackcom> thanks _AxS_
[02:19] <_AxS_> interesting...  that is definitely what's going on; i'll see if their solution solves it.  Still, what is it that actually does it?
[02:21] <prappl93> Not sure. I saw another unanswered post someone had from 2007 with the same issue also using nVidia drivers. Then again, saw one from someone using ATI too, so it's probably not the display drivers at fault.
[02:22] <jackcom> _AxS_: how can i know that other pc port is opened?
[02:23] <_AxS_> jackcom: from where you are?  dunno.  netstat should show connections that are established i think..  but its likely easier to probe it with netcat or similar
[02:23] <jackcom> i heard about mnop ?
[02:23] <jackcom> ‘mnop'?
[02:23] <jackcom> _AxS_: you know it?
[02:24] <_AxS_> nope
[02:24] <_AxS_> i'm not an ubuntu user tho
[02:24] <jackcom> nmop?
[02:24] <prappl93> jackcom, do you mean "nmap"
[02:24] <jackcom> prappl93: yeah
[02:24] <jackcom> nmap
[02:24] <jackcom> i can know open port with nmap?
[02:24] <_AxS_> nmap is a port scanner isn't it?
[02:25] <jackcom> port scanner?
[02:25] <jackcom> oh
[02:26] <_AxS_> crap out of battery..  prappl93 thanks for the link!
[02:26] <jackcom> i can do it with nmap? prappl93
[02:27] <gmas> hi all! I'm on ubuntu 14.04 and I've compiled 4.7-rc2. Do I need to install linux-libc-dev_4.7.0-rc2-custom-2_amd64.deb in order to have the DKMS i915 driver build properly ?
[02:28] <prappl93> jackcom, you should be able to, yes. This is a CLI-intensive command though. There is a UI version of it that is call "zenmap" that you should be able to get from apt or apt-get
[02:28] <jackcom> zenmap
[02:28] <jackcom> thanks prappl93
[02:37] <jackcom> i can connect some site with name like google.com, but why i can’t connect site with ip address like 182.162.3.2
[02:38] <teward> jackcom: because the server is probably configured to only serve the domain names, and disregard requests to just the IP
[02:38] <teward> (many sites, one IP)
[02:38] <teward> but that's not something we can really resolve
[02:39] <jackcom> teward: thanks
[02:39] <jackcom> :)
[02:40] <teward> jackcom: but there's no way to tell
[02:40] <teward> so... :/
[02:40] <jackcom> what?
[02:40] <teward> that's just supposition and guessing
[02:40] <jackcom> what telling?
[02:41] <teward> jackcom: that is, I am guessing the situation is such that they configured it to only serve the domains and not on the IP address.  But I can't reliably say whether that is or is not the case - it's only an educated guess.
[02:41] <jackcom> oh
[02:41] <jackcom> thanks teward
[02:42] <jackcom> if http port(80) is opened then i can connect it with web browser only?
[02:42] <prappl93> You should be able to access via http, yes.
[02:43] <jackcom> oh thanks prappl93
[02:43] <jackcom> :)
[02:43] <jackcom> if ftp(21) port is opened, then what app must i use?
[02:44] <prappl93> Most modern web browsers allow you to navigate to ftp servers using ftp:// then the address, but it depends on what you want out of it
[02:45] <jackcom> prappl93:  thanks but website required a username and pasword
[02:45] <jackcom> :P
[02:49] <somsip> jackcom: ftp://user:pass@site
[02:56] <jackcom> somsip: thanks i got it
[02:56] <jackcom> :)
[03:00] <jackcom> if i type ‘192.168.3.1’  then it require username and password, this is same thing like windows 10’s username and password?
[03:01] <somsip> jackcom: ftp will expect a user/pass. It may be "guest" and "guest" or anonymous and anonymous or some combination. Check your ftpd config
[03:01] <jackcom> router user name and password  <——> windows 10 laptop username and password
[03:01] <jackcom> somsip: it is not ftp question
[03:01] <somsip> jackcom: I know very little about windows 10 and I hope one day i know even less
[03:02] <jackcom> router user name and password  <——> windows 7 laptop username and password
[03:02] <somsip> jackcom: no idea about windows. This is ubuntu support
[03:02] <OerHeks> how would we know, router user name?
[03:02] <jackcom> if i type ‘192.168.3.1’  then it require username and password, this is router password and username?
[03:02] <somsip> jackcom: from what you ask, this is about ftp server config isnt it?
[03:03] <OerHeks> if 192,168,3,1 is the router, yes
[03:03] <jackcom> i just ask of http
[03:03] <somsip> jackcom: 09:43 < jackcom> if ftp(21) port is opened, then what app must i use?
[03:03] <somsip> jackcom: be clear, and you might get clear answers
[03:03] <jackcom> somsip: yeah, but now qestion is changed : http —> ftp —> http
[03:04] <somsip> jackcom: psychic mode is disabled on this channel. You need to be clear.
[03:04] <jackcom> yeah
[03:04] <somsip> jackcom: so, did you get the answer you need?
[03:04] <jackcom> yes
[03:04] <jackcom> i got it
[03:04] <somsip> jackcom: end result is good then
[03:04] <jackcom> but this is different question
[03:05] <somsip> jackcom: so, ask your new question with details that help us understand
[03:05] <jackcom> when i type 192.168.3.1 then this is router username and password this is same theory of windows laptop username and password
[03:06] <jackcom> ?
[03:06] <somsip> jackcom: what are you connecting to?
[03:07] <jackcom> i don’t want to connect to
[03:07] <somsip> jackcom: I haven't time for this. Maybe someone else will help yuo
[03:07] <jackcom> ok thanks somsip :)
[03:08] <percival_>  hello! does anyone know what to do when terminal keeps aborting installs at the Y/n reply
[03:09] <OerHeks> percival_, can you give more info, what are you trying to install?
[03:09] <jackcom> OerHeks: there is a way to know router’s username and password?
[03:09] <elky> jackcom: the pieces of paper that came with the router.
[03:10] <percival_> Derheks: Realtek RTL8723BE wifi PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
[03:10] <percival_> the driver for it
[03:10] <OerHeks> jackcom, see the manual, if you haven't changed it, else no.
[03:10] <jackcom> elky: what you mean? i can’t understand it
[03:10] <elky> jackcom: your router came with documentation. On it would have been the default password and user name as well as other connection details.
[03:11] <OerHeks> percival_, isn t is availble tru the driver menu ? i know there are a lot of problems with that chipset ..
[03:12] <OerHeks> most people try to build a recent driver themselves http://askubuntu.com/questions/590414/wifi-problems-with-rtl8723be-in-ubuntu-14-04
[03:12] <jackcom> elky: thanks
[03:18] <jackcom> there is a tool with that i can find username and password?

[03:19] <OerHeks> jackcom, no, usually when you forgot your roputerpass; reset the device to defaults
[03:19] <jackcom> oh
[03:19] <jackcom> OerHeks: thanks :)
[03:20] <_AxS_> hey all ... ok so i just oops'ed and removed all files located directly in /etc/X11 ..  xorg.conf is a non-issue since its still auto-generating, but Xreset and Xsession are a bit of an issue...  how do i force a reinstall of x11-common ?
[03:21] <somsip> _AxS_: apt-get install --reinstall may help
[03:21] <percival_> derheks: i tried something similar but ill try that link.
[03:21] <_AxS_> somsip: thought so but it din't bring those files back..
[03:22] <somsip> _AxS_: uglier approach - boot from live cd and copy
[03:22] <somsip> _AxS_: or http://askubuntu.com/questions/21309/how-to-restore-xserver
[03:23] <jackcom> how can i know ssh is running or not?

[03:27] <_AxS_> ok thanks all!
[03:30] <theitguy> Anybody have any idea about getting headphones working on ubuntu?
[03:31] <jeffer> whats your problem
[03:32] <OerHeks> theitguy, open terminal: alsamixer and fiddle around with settings, there should be a heaphone slider
[03:33] <jeffer> or if youre not into the terminal you can check if you are using pulse audio, has a pretty nice and intuitive gui
[03:34] <jeffer> idk if the base ubuntu uses it or not
[03:35] <theitguy> I have tried alsamixer. There is no headphones option. I ran alsa-info. Here are the details - http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=eab9df3cd1fbe887705f41603d8d9cc2c2833911 . If that could help..
[03:37] <OerHeks> alienware 17.. interesting answer here: options snd-hda-intel model=alienware >>> http://askubuntu.com/a/726286
[03:38] <theitguy> Will try that. Thank you
[03:39] <Snackerr> Hello, what is the best way to have a Folder (on your computer) that you can access from the internet?
[03:39] <Snackerr> Samba, i think is for LAN only, right?
[03:39] <Snackerr> is there something like Samba, that you can access from anywhere?
[03:40] <Snackerr> And i know you can setup a whole NAS, like FreeNAS or Synology, but that seems like too much work?
[03:42] <lordcirth_> Snackerr, SMB and NFS work across the internet, technically, they are just slow
[03:43] <lordcirth_> Snackerr, you may want to look at Owncloud or something like that.
[03:43] <Snackerr> lordcirth_,  i am reading about Owncloud & Syncthing & bittorrent sync.  But the latter 2, only "sync", and i dont think you can access file without downloadin the whole file?
[03:44] <Snackerr> lordcirth_,  any guides you recommend on SMB & NFS?
[03:44] <lordcirth_> Snackerr, that's right, they sync files.  If you want to access files bit by bit, you need a network filesystem, like SMB or NFS.  But they will require at least 1 network round-trip per access, and will be slow if you're on a 100ms internet connection.
[03:44] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html && https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-fileprint-security.html
[03:47] <somsip> Snackerr: one option may be sshfs - http://askubuntu.com/questions/412477/mount-remote-directory-using-ssh
[03:47] <Snackerr> OerHeks, thanks.  but is owncloud better?
[03:48] <Snackerr> also, i like GUI's instead of command-line
[03:48] <lordcirth_> somsip, I was just thinking of sshfs.  It's quite nice.
[03:48] <somsip> Snackerr: once something is mounted, it's accessible through anything. Just depends how much setup you're happy doing
[03:49] <somsip> lordcirth_: looks feasible for a simple, safe solution
[03:49] <lordcirth_> somsip, I was hesitating to suggest it because I wasn't going to recommend opening ssh to the internet without having to send a bunch of advice.
[03:49] <Snackerr> so why do people run FreeNAS, etc.. if you can just do SSHFS/OWNCLOUD in linux?
[03:50] <somsip> Snackerr: you would have to ask people
[03:50] <Snackerr> somsip, lol
[03:50] <lordcirth> Snackerr, FreeNAS has lots of nice features, like automatic RAID or ZFS setup, and nice wizards.
[03:50] <somsip> Snackerr: its a wide quesiton. You want to know the pros and cons of different methods? Here is not the place to ask
[03:50] <Snackerr> i mean what are the advantages, of running a dedicated NAS, somsip
[03:50] <lordcirth> It's a good choice if you want a dedicated NAS, but most people don't.
[03:50] <somsip> Snackerr: yeah <facetious mode off> I know
[03:53] <okami> hello everyone
[03:57] <rat0r> oO
[04:01] <Snackerr> is SSHFS  or SMB or NFS, compatible with Android or IOS?
[04:01] <somsip> Snackerr: definitely one to invesitgate yourself
[04:01] <somsip> Snackerr: just search in the app stores
[04:02] <Snackerr> i'm looking for a way to make a folder on my computer accessible, from anywhere
[04:02] <somsip> Snackerr: I know. I remember you from 12 minutes ago
[04:04] <Snackerr> someone,  your a funny guy    \(✿◠‿◠)/
[04:04] <jackcom> how can i  open http( 80) port?
[04:05] <somsip> Snackerr: I'm more sarcastic than funny. But seriously, dont just ask *everything* here. Try to stay on topic and you'll usually get good help
[04:06] <jeffer> any recommendations on a music library manager?
[04:06] <drama> Snackerr, google samba+android
[04:07] <drama> jackcom, port forward 80 from your router to your computer ip address

[05:21] <grip> does ubuntu normally have the bt drivers install or activated by default?
[05:22] <grip> I installed blueman, bluetooth, etc.
[05:22] <OerHeks> i think that  RTL8188CE is a combo, wifi+bt ..
[05:22] <grip> ahh
[05:22] <OerHeks> clue 1 > http://askubuntu.com/questions/650606/hardware-disabled-after-realtek-rtl8188ce-wireless-driver-install

[05:24] <xangua> Is this a dual boot system?
[05:24] <grip> nope
[05:24] <grip> all 16.04
[05:25] <grip> laptop speakers are playing now
[05:26] <drama> grip,  maybe you have to pair the device https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothHeadset
[05:29] <grip> no options in ubuntu to pair devices
[05:30] <grip> one more try. What bluetooth software should showing in my syn list.
[05:31] <drama> grip,  I do it says "Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. This probably means that there were no Bluetooth adapters detected or Bluetooth daemon was not started.
[05:33] <grip> when I go to settings my BT is greyed out. "No bluetooth adapters found."
[05:33] <grip> visibilty is off and I can not change it.
[05:33] <grip> I am rethinking if this device has bluetooth.
[05:37] <okami> guys is there a way to link my ethernet adapter to a virtual adapter ?
[05:38] <SwedeMike> okami: bridge them, using brctl
[05:39] <drama> grip, dmesg | grep -i bluetooth
[05:41] <chenwei> I found that there will be remain in my ./home/usrname after I uninstall or remove softerware,how to git rid of them
[05:42] <chenwei> autoremove or auto cleam or purge doesn't work
[05:45] <hateball> chenwei: that is by design
[05:45] <chenwei> hateball:but how
[05:46] <chenwei> for example there will be .xchat2 remain in my ./home/usrname
[05:46] <hateball> chenwei: manually remove the config files
[05:46] <RahulAN> Hi all
[05:47] <hateball> chenwei: Use Nautilus or a terminal, whichever you are comfortable with
[05:47] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get remove --purge packagename # this would remove the package + config, if you have removed the package, delete the configs manually
[05:47] <RahulAN> What is the difference between startx and lightdm
[05:47] <RahulAN> ?
[05:47] <chenwei> OerHeks:thx I'll try
[05:47] <dani_> \]
[05:47] <chenwei> hateball:thx
[05:48] <OerHeks> startx = old gdm, service lightdm start = current
[05:48] <hateball> OerHeks: he was talking about user configs, not /etc
[05:49] <drama> okami, you mean like network aliasing where you have eth0 and eth1 on the same ethernet device?
[05:49] <sevenup__> I think that's not the difference between them
[05:50] <sevenup__> lightdm is a desktop manager
[05:50] <sevenup__> as gdm is
[05:50] <sevenup__> startx is not a desktop manager
[05:51] <sevenup__> I think if you have unity version the dm will be gdm
[05:51] <sevenup__> for example if you install xubuntu, then it will be lightdm
[05:51] <sevenup__> but you can replace them
[05:51] <RahulAN> sevenup__:  what is the major difference then? now i am confuse what actually a dm is ?
[05:51] <akik> RahulAN: startx was used in the past to start x11 from the virtual console. somehow it has been disabled nowadays
[05:52] <RahulAN> akik: but still be can do it ..
[05:52] <RahulAN> is it depreciated?
[05:52] <sevenup__> dm is a interface that helps you to log in and choose a desktop for your session
[05:52] <akik> RahulAN: i hate that word
[05:52] <akik> RahulAN: last time i tried startx i only got a black screen
[05:52] <RahulAN> sevenup__: You mean like a login screen
[05:52] <sevenup__> for example, if you have Xfce, Gnome3, Cinnamon and Mate as I do
[05:53] <drama> i still have it in Wily /usr/bin/startx
[05:53] <sevenup__> that login screen is considered a desktop manager at the moment that let you choose which desktop you want to run
[05:54] <sevenup__> startx starts directly your session, I think with the last settings you used
[05:54] <RahulAN> akik:  i guess it related to setting :D
[05:54] <sevenup__> but I never use that command, I think it's not deprecated, but I see desktop manager as a more correct way to log in
[05:54] <muller> guys can one help me install sstp-client on ubuntu 14.04
[05:55] <muller> i looked for guides but didnt find anything
[05:55] <akik> RahulAN: it doesn't work on kubuntu 16.04 any more
[05:56] <sevenup__> what thing doesn't work in 16.04 anymore?
[05:57] <OerHeks> startx is depreciated on ubuntu 15.04/15.10/16.04 ..
[05:57] <akik> sevenup__: stopping sddm and running startx
[05:57] <sevenup__> hmmm
[05:57] <sevenup__> you sure?
[05:57] <akik> i just get a black screen and a segmentation fault in the log file
[05:57] <sevenup__> run dpkg -S startx
[05:57] <sevenup__> and then you will see what packages has it included
[05:58] <sevenup__> xinit: /usr/bin/startx
[05:58] <sevenup__> it also belongs to xinit package
[05:59] <sevenup__> the word "deprecated" doesn't appear in the manpages for startx
[05:59] <sevenup__> RahulAN, I think we can say that startx will help you to start a graphical session even you don't have any desktop manager or login screen installed
[05:59] <akik> sevenup__: yes xinit is shown
[06:00] <drama> muller, http://askubuntu.com/questions/63739/how-to-set-up-an-sstp-vpn-connection
[06:00] <akik> sevenup__: xorg works if i run sddm and login through that
[06:00] <sevenup__> yes, and?
[06:01] <akik> sevenup__: and startx doesn't work by itself
[06:01] <sevenup__> but you get an error?
[06:02] <sevenup__> I think startx is installed since the moment you have a X (graphical) server
[06:03] <RahulAN> sevenup__: so do i use startx or dm ?
[06:03] <RahulAN> which is better to go
[06:03] <RahulAN> ?
[06:03] <OerHeks> RahulAN, on what desktop?
[06:04] <RahulAN> OerHeks: I need to go with development ??
[06:04] <RahulAN> i guess i need a minimal setup
[06:04] <OerHeks> ??
[06:05] <akik> sevenup__: here's the error http://pastebin.com/raw/5bL7mfHf
[06:05] <drama> startx is defecated in xenial http://linux.m2osw.com/boot-command-line-console-ubuntu-1604
[06:05] <sevenup__> but that doesn't mean it's deprecated
[06:05] <akik> drama: you sure about that word?
[06:05] <somsip> RahulAN: you are putting the cart before the horse. Decide on your DM or WM and then decided what best supports that
[06:05] <sevenup__> that means it probably doesn't find a right profile to apply
[06:05] <drama> mispeled
[06:06] <sevenup__> and you should run startx from a TTY not from the desktop session alread started
[06:06] <akik> drama: that is a blog post by a random internet person
[06:06] <OerHeks> again: startx is depreciated on ubuntu (unity) 15.04/15.10/16.04, use service lightdm start/stop
[06:07] <sevenup__> they're different things
[06:07] <OerHeks> sure, please go on trying sevenup__
[06:07] <akik> OerHeks: you should ask *why* it doesn't work anymore
[06:07] <sevenup__> keep thinking one command replace the other one
[06:07] <sevenup__> startx still works
[06:08] <drama> isn't service deprecated too now that systemd
[06:09] <akik> sevenup__: oh ok must be my system then
[06:09] <RahulAN> AndroUser2: Hi
[06:10] <RahulAN> sevenup__: Yes startx works for me too
[06:10] <sevenup__> RahulAN, as user, you should use a dm
[06:10] <akik> ok so it's not deprecated as some say
[06:11] <sevenup__> I think startx could be use rather for testing and debugging
[06:11] <sevenup__> for example
[06:11] <sevenup__> if you install the ubuntu server version
[06:11] <sevenup__> you will only get a Command Line Interface (CLI)
[06:11] <hateball> I think you may want to read up on what 'deprecated' means
[06:11] <sevenup__> if you install a desktop, and you want to run the desktop, you can install a desktop manager
[06:12] <sevenup__> but it's not needed, you can use startx to start your session directly
[06:12] <sevenup__> but probably you need to set some parameters or config files
[06:12] <sevenup__> let me do a test
[06:13] <jatin30> Any risk of using gparted in dual OS system(windows+linux) ? I read somewhere that It is risky for windows
[06:13] <sevenup__> hmmm, I cannot change to the TTY's with control + alt + F1
[06:13] <sevenup__> it's probably a problem with my shortcuts in Cinnamon
[06:14] <sevenup__> jatin30, the more delicated process is when you resize a partition
[06:14] <sevenup__> but there are not a safer option
[06:16] <sevenup__> if you're resizing a partition to make it bigger then there should not be any problem
[06:16] <jatin30> sevenup__ , I want to resize partition only
[06:16] <sevenup__> and you want to decrease its size?
[06:16] <sevenup__> I will do it with gparted
[06:17] <somsip> jatin30: gparted is not generally considered as unsafe. Where did you read this?
[06:17] <sevenup__> but I think there's always a little risk involved
[06:17] <sevenup__> but nothing has to happen
[06:17] <jatin30> somsip , in a forum here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2120282
[06:18] <sevenup__> I've heard that if you resize your windows partition, next time you start windows it will make a test
[06:18] <sevenup__> because it has realized the partition size has changed
[06:18] <sevenup__> but it's only a test
[06:18] <jatin30> do I need to backup my linux before resizing? because I am not able to
[06:18] <sevenup__> everything should be done ok
[06:18] <somsip> jatin30: the post by darkrod? Perfectly fair advice in there
[06:18] <hateball> jatin30: You should always backup before any major changes to your system, if you value your data
[06:18] <sevenup__> I agree
[06:19] <hateball> jatin30: Or you could just go for it (like I do) :D
[06:19] <sevenup__> do you really have such a important things in your hard drive?
[06:19] <akik> jatin30: there's also ntfsresize command in linux. i think clonezilla uses it
[06:19] <OerHeks> reisize windows from within windows, that is the official ubuntu suggention too.
[06:19] <jatin30> somsip, any simple backup options for linux?
[06:19] <sevenup__> most of things users has can be downloaded again
[06:19] <somsip> jatin30: essentially - it should be okay, there are windows tools you can/should use, always backup, at your own risk
[06:19] <somsip> !backup | jatin30
[06:19] <ToAruShiroiNeko> you backup your data if you value it regardless
[06:19] <ToAruShiroiNeko> backup, cloud computing is cheap
[06:19] <OerHeks> if you don't have a backup, your datais not important.
[06:20] <sevenup__> my conclusion would be, if I need to resize my windows partition, I will resize it, and I will cross my fingers, I will value if my data is very important and then I will make a backup
[06:20] <sevenup__> nothing has why to happen
[06:20] <sevenup__> nothing bad I mean
[06:21] <sevenup__> all system changes involved certain riks as someone said before
[06:21] <sevenup__> even when you upgrade your system
[06:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> just using it has risks
[06:22] <akik> sevenup__: did you manage to test startx?
[06:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> risk free life is living in a cave with your abacus.
[06:22]  * ToAruShiroiNeko may do that at some point
[06:22] <somsip> ToAruShiroiNeko: and lets bring this back on topic before it goes too far...
[06:22] <ToAruShiroiNeko> sure
[06:23] <somsip> jatin30: so do you have enough information to help you now?
[06:23] <sevenup__> no, akik, because I couldn't change to tty
[06:23] <sevenup__> but I can try it again with sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[06:23] <sevenup__> or sudo service lightdm stop
[06:24] <sevenup__> and then trying to execute startx
[06:24] <akik> sevenup__: if you stop your login manager from your gui session, you'll get dropped to the virtual console. though it kills your programs
[06:24] <sevenup__> yes
[06:24] <sevenup__> but I'm going to do other things right now, playing a little some old games
[06:24] <sevenup__> I'm not too care about if startx still works or not
[06:25] <OerHeks> ...
[06:25] <sevenup__> I bet it does, but even if I'm wrong, it doesn't matter
[06:25] <sevenup__> I usually don't need it
[06:26] <sevenup__> I used startx a month ago under 16.04 when I was trying to start a Graphical session with another graphics driver
[06:26] <sevenup__> it didn't work as I expected, but it was a matter of config files, the session was started anyway
[06:30] <easy> hi all, anyone expert who can help me troubleshoot with Lightdm and slow login after supplying password
[06:30] <easy> my system boot to login screen in 19 sec
[06:30] <easy> but from login screen to desktop it takes about 20 seconds
[06:33] <sevenup__> I guess it depends on the desktop you're running
[06:33] <sevenup__> you always can try making a new user with an empty home folder to check if it's something about your home configuration
[06:33] <sevenup__> is it installed on a SSD?
[06:35] <camera_> hj

[06:35] <ubantu> hey, i don't see the launcher icons of folders, any idea howcome?
[06:36] <ubantu> i also don't see the folders when i [alt+tab], they just sit behind all other windows
[06:36] <camera_>  how to ubuntu mate os install to smart pss software?
[06:36] <ubantu> using ubuntu 16.04
[06:37] <camera_> ubuntu mate not possible smart pss software install
[06:37] <Sheepolution> k1l_: Back. I'll tell the problem again for others as well
[06:40] <Sheepolution> When I start my computer (with Ubuntu installed), I get the grub screen. After I select Ubuntu, I get a purple screen and nothing else happens. Never had this problem before. I think this could either be because I broke something while transporting my computer or because of an update I did. Maybe it updated or removed whatever is needed for the graphics card?
[06:41] <ubantu> sheepolution tried hooking up an external monitor ?
[06:41] <ubantu> or boot from livecd?
[06:42] <Sheepolution> A second monitor?
[06:43] <Sheepolution> When I do that, the second monitor never gets activated
[06:44] <guest154> hello everyone
[06:44] <Sheepolution> Also I notice my keyboard is turned off (no lights, even when activating capslock), when I'm at the purple screen
[06:45] <Sheepolution> I'll try the liveCD
[06:46] <hateball> Sheepolution: what GPU do you have?
[06:47] <Sheepolution> Nvidia, 750 GX or something like that
[06:48] <hateball> !nomodeset | Sheepolution
[06:48] <hateball> Sheepolution: oh this is not a new install or something? you have physically moved your computer is all?
[06:49] <Sheepolution> hateball: Well I also did some sort of big update recently
[06:49] <Sheepolution> This was done after when did sudo apt-get install something
[06:50] <hateball> "something" is not very helpful
[06:50] <hateball> If you are unsure, boot into single user mode and have a look in /var/log/apt/history*
[06:50] <Sheepolution> How do I do that?
[06:52] <vivekp> Hello, just installed 16.04 and I'm noticing unusually high memory usage (more than 1 GB few minutes after startup without any application opened).
[06:52] <vivekp> Is that a reported bug?
[06:54] <guest154> guys i want help to reroute my traffic trough another adapter, here is some outputs : http://paste.ubuntu.com/17319215/
[06:55] <Seveas> vivekp: how do you notice?
[06:56] <vivekp> Seveas: System Monitor
[06:57] <Seveas> vivekp: pastebin the output of: free -m
[06:59] <vivekp> Seveas: http://pastebin.com/0Mq3Ps96
[07:03] <Seveas> vivekp: only 370mb is in use, the rest is filesystem cache
[07:10] <vivekp> Seveas: 370 is shared. It says used memory is 1241
[07:11] <AnthonyMalczanek> does the ubuntu torrent tracker (tracker.ubuntu.com) block certain ISPs from accessing port 6969? I can hit it directly but not through my VPN, although port 80 on the same box works just fine
[07:14] <vivekp> Seveas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572801 .. looks like its a bug
[07:15] <jatin30> Hi I used disk manager to shrink windows C: drive and I have 50 Gb unallocated space now. I want to use this space in my linux. But I read that we should never shrink/make changes to volume which the OS uses and I did exactly that. Any chances of loosing data?
[07:15] <Sheepolution> hateball: I'm not able to boot in single user mode, trying several options I found online. I'm currently making a Live USB
[07:20] <jatin30> I have a spare pen drive how do I use it as a live environment for resizing partitions?
[07:21] <hateball> put ubuntu on it (installer has gparted), or just gparted-live
[07:21] <hateball> jatin30: ^
[07:22] <hateball> jatin30: and like I said before, if you are afraid of losing data, always make backups
[07:22] <Sheepolution> hateball: I used the LiveUSB, chose "Try Ubuntu", and now I'm on Unity
[07:23] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, you need a Linux USB key with gparted on it, then use gparted to resize / edit your partitions and create file systems
[07:23] <Sheepolution> Basically confirming that this is not a hardware problem? (Because that'd be a big relieve)
[07:23] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, however, if you're going to edit your Windows primary partition, you should use Windows to do it. It's probably safer that way. You can then use Linux to create and edit your Linux partitions
[07:25] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, but I freed 50 GB space which is unallocated now, I want to add this to my linux and I am not able to do that from windows
[07:26] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, boot an install disk or USB key, use gparted to edit the partition table, resize your Linux partition there. If you don't have a Linux partition yet, you can create one. You cannot modify partitions that aren't NTFS/FAT from Windows. You can only delete "unknown" partitions from Windows.
[07:29] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, usually, this means you have to resize the partition in the partition table. if you are using dm-crypt partition encryption, then you might have to modify the encrypted partition information to specify the new partition size (this is significantly more complicated, so tread carefully. in fact, the documentation pretty much said not to do this last I checked, but I've done it successfully. just make sure your
[07:29] <AnthonyMalczanek> actual partition size is about 2-3% bigger than your encrypted partition)
[07:29] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, thanks
[07:30] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek , I cant understand encrypted partition. I am new to this doing it for first time
[07:30] <AnthonyMalczanek> no problem. I recommend you keep a USB linux key with gparted and Windows Password reset tools, ntfs drivers, and HFS+ drivers around. that way you can edit partitions, mount partitions, and reset passwords on any Windows/Mac/Linux box.. good tool to keep around
[07:30] <hateball> jatin30: open dash and search for gparted
[07:31] <jatin30> I have gparted installed
[07:31] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, don't worry about it then. it's only for people who installed Linux with partition encryption. you probably didn't, or you'd know
[07:32] <jatin30> So should I just try to expand my linux partition from my system with gparted installed and not from live environment?
[07:32] <AnthonyMalczanek> nope, that won't work
[07:33] <Sheepolution> Can I do anything useful from the LiveUSB? Check files from my original install somehow?
[07:33] <AnthonyMalczanek> try not to edit your partition table when you're running an OS from that drive.
[07:33] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, I just did that mistake in windows
[07:33] <jatin30> reading this now http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html
[07:34] <jatin30> I have windows backup so no worries
[07:34] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, I think it actually works in Windows. In general, I would avoid doing it in Linux
[07:34] <AnthonyMalczanek> or at least without immediately restarting your machine
[07:34] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, you can do that. Mount your existing Linux partition somewhere and see all the files you have.
[07:35] <hateball> jatin30: do partition resizing offline, it's safer
[07:35] <hateball> jatin30: that is, from live media
[07:35] <jatin30> ok so I am now resizing from live environment
[07:35] <AnthonyMalczanek> that's the way to do it.
[07:35] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Oh wait it was already mounted, neat.
[07:36] <Sheepolution> Okay so is there anything I should check that causes me to get the purple screen after selecting Ubuntu on Grub?
[07:37] <AnthonyMalczanek> ATI graphics?
[07:38] <AnthonyMalczanek> or NVIDIA?
[07:39] <Sheepolution> Nvidia
[07:39] <AnthonyMalczanek> Do you have the binary drivers installed, or the open source ones?
[07:40] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: I'm not sure but I think binary.
[07:40] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, try adding nomodeset parameter to your kernel parameters
[07:41] <newbuntu> Hey, I visited yesterday to ask some questions about partitioning. I had the problem, that I coundnt resize my root partition. Well I found a way, I deleted my swap at the left side of my root partition and thereby joint the swap space with the existing free space on the left of root partition. But now I get a new ERROR. I would like to create a new swap on the right side of my free space. But gparted does not allow my to select [cr
[07:42] <newbuntu> .... it only allows [create as: Primary Partition]
[07:42] <Ben64> whats the problem with that
[07:42] <AnthonyMalczanek> I would hit shift on boot to get the grub menu, then select the default entry, hit "e" to edit the configuration, find the line that describes the kernel you're currently booting (should start with /vmlinuz) and add "nomodeset" without quotes at the end
[07:42] <AnthonyMalczanek> then hit F10 I think to boot with those parameters
[07:43] <AnthonyMalczanek> that should boot into the OS without the graphical boot loader/kernel, which should get you to a login prompt.. now you can log in and remove all the "nouveau" references, blacklist the nouveau driver, reinstall the binary driver, and restart
[07:44] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: This doesn't seem to work. Trying to boot in single user mode didn't work either :/
[07:44] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, I have to boot with nomodeset always because my NVIDIA GPU doesn't support graphical boot without loading the nouveau driver, even if it's blacklisted
[07:44] <newbuntu> Ben64: This site (http://askubuntu.com/questions/180730/how-do-i-restore-a-swap-partition-i-accidentally-deleted) selects Logical Partition
[07:44] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Hold on, I'll send you a picture
[07:44] <AnthonyMalczanek> Did you actually try booting with "nomodeset" parameter and all graphics parameter removed?
[07:46] <AnthonyMalczanek> oh, try: nosplash nomodeset
[07:46] <AnthonyMalczanek> maybe you need both
[07:47] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: http://i.imgur.com/H2r2rGG.jpg
[07:48] <AnthonyMalczanek> set nosplash
[07:48] <AnthonyMalczanek> instead of splash
[07:49] <newbuntu> Some one willing to help?
[07:49] <AnthonyMalczanek> also, try hitting the "insert" key after you boot if it still gives you some graphcial screen.. insert switches between them sometimes
[07:49] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, what's your problem?
[07:50] <Sheepolution> Originally it says ...6773c05 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
[07:50] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, change "splash" to "nosplash"
[07:50] <AnthonyMalczanek> and add "nomodeset"
[07:50] <Sheepolution> Keep the quiet?
[07:50] <AnthonyMalczanek> "/vmlinuz-4.4.0-22-generic.efi.signed root=/dev/mapper/kubuntu--vg-root ro quiet nosplash nomodeset " is what mine says
[07:51] <AnthonyMalczanek> yeah, keep it. I did
[07:51] <newbuntu> AnthonyMalczanek: Cant select [Logical Partition] in gparted
[07:51] <Sheepolution> Still doesn't work.
[07:51] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, so? Why is that a problem?
[07:52] <Sheepolution> I'm considering just reinstalling the whole thing at this point.
[07:52] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, what is the result?
[07:52] <Sheepolution> A purple screen
[07:52] <AnthonyMalczanek> hit the Insert key
[07:52] <Sheepolution> Also my keyboard is turned off
[07:52] <AnthonyMalczanek> hit the "caps lock" key and see if the light changes to verify the keyboard works
[07:52] <Sheepolution> Though this does not always happen. I'm not sure what it is based on.
[07:52] <Sheepolution> Yes capslock does not turn on the light
[07:53] <newbuntu> AnthonyMalczanek: I would like to create a new swap partition....
[07:53] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, try removing "quiet" to see if that generates any output
[07:54] <AnthonyMalczanek> also try hitting the "insert" key after selecting your boot entry as fast as possible to see if it does anything before it gets stuck and/or disables your keyboard
[07:55] <newbuntu> AnthonyMalczanek: And this site (http://askubuntu.com/questions/180730/how-do-i-restore-a-swap-partition-i-accidentally-deleted) is saying I should select [Logical Partition]. Due to my future plans that seems to be a good idea
[07:55] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, so? Your swap partition can be a Logical or Primary partition. It doesn't matter. That's just an old concept. MBR format partition tables used to only support 4 partitions, so they added "logical" partitions to extend the number of supported partitions per drive, but any partition can be any type. doesn't matter
[07:56] <newbuntu> AnthonyMalczanek: Ohhh.. ok so I can have now any number of (Primary Partition) on my drive?
[07:56] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, doesn't matter. Trust me. It's irrelevant. It's just a remnant from the old days when MBR partition table format supported only four (4) primary partitions so you had to create logical partitions if you wanted to have five (5) or more.
[07:57] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, no, the first four (4) are primary, and the remainder are logical.
[07:58] <newbuntu> AnthonyMalczanek: I have 10 partitions...
[07:58] <AnthonyMalczanek> oh, sorry, you can have 4 primary or 3 primary and one extended which can be subdivided into numerous logical partitions
[07:59] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Removing the quiet doesn't help. Quickly pressing insert doesn't do anything.
[08:00] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, can you try the magic Sys-Rq key to see if the system is still responsive in any way?
[08:02] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Nope
[08:03] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, also, this doesn't make sense. your kernel shouldn't show the graphical screen if you are setting nomodeset and nosplash on the right entry
[08:03] <AnthonyMalczanek> can you set it on all the entires? i think you might be editing the wrong entry
[08:04] <thekrynn> how easy is it to make ubuntu a iSCSI server
[08:04] <thekrynn> ive only had experience with NFS/ZFS
[08:04] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: There's the linux and initrd entry. I'll set it on both
[08:05] <Sheepolution> I tried adding nosplash nomodeset behind intpr and it says "invalid filename 'nosplash'"
[08:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, how about booting the Live USB, mounting your hard drive root partition, chroot'ing to it, editing grub.cfg, updating grub, blacklisting nouveau, and try again?
[08:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> also, yeah, only on vmlinuz
[08:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> initrd won't work with those settings
[08:06] <Sheepolution> It also asks me to press any key to continue but I can't because my keyboard is disabled lol
[08:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> but how many entires are in your grub config?
[08:07] <AnthonyMalczanek> I have like 10 of them, so don't be surprised if there are more...
[08:07] <Sheepolution> Ubuntu, Advanced options for Ubuntu, System Setup
[08:07] <AnthonyMalczanek> can you pastebin the output of grep vmlinuz /boot/grub/grub.cfg or whatever it is on your live CD?
[08:08] <Sheepolution> Sure
[08:08] <AnthonyMalczanek> brb in 8 minutes
[08:12] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: I notice there's a vmlinuz file in the root directory of my drive
[08:20] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, thats the kernel thats booting. Should be there.
[08:21] <AnthonyMalczanek> notice that it's a symlink to your boot partition
[08:44] <dani_> ello
[08:50] <lerner> I installed 2 upstream kernels and now I want to get rid of it: I deleted the directory in which I donwloaded the 1st upstream kernel... is there anything else I need to do?
[08:52] <bekks> Sure.
[08:52] <bekks> lerner: You need to remove the packages you installed.
[08:54] <lerner> for how long have you used an upstream kernel? it ise recognized as broken by xubuntu 16.04 and thus I cannot update anything. Im reporting for a bug
[08:55] <bekks> I'm using them from time to time, why? And why cant you update anything?
[08:55] <bekks> lerner: In case of errors, please pastebin them completely.

[08:56] <lerner> bekks, because the 2 upstream kernels I installed are "broken" and I need to get rid of them before updating or upgrading
[08:57] <OerHeks> lerner, remove those custom kernels and update grub
[08:57] <bekks> < bekks> lerner: In case of errors, please pastebin them completely.
[08:57] <OerHeks> using mainline kernels is at your own risc, those are just a test
[09:00] <psprint> Hello. How to disable samba on 14.04?
[09:00] <lerner> bekks, to pastebin i should start synaptic from a cli, correct?

[09:00] <lerner> o
[09:00] <lerner> sudo apt-get update?
[09:00] <bekks> lerner: Pastebin "sudo apt update" first, please.

[09:04] <AciD`> hey, am I alone getting a Hash Sum mismatch error when trying to update : http://paste.ubuntu.com/17320338/ ?
[09:04] <ikonia> yes
[09:05] <OerHeks> AciD`, try again in a minute, maybe your mirror is out-of-sync, seen that before.
[09:06] <AciD`> OerHeks -> so I guess it means you can hit archive.ubuntu.com xenial-updates without problem?
[09:06] <lerner> bekks, im sorry, I did what OerHeks suggested first and when I read your line I tried to cancel it, but i couldnt...
[09:07] <bekks> lerner: And why does that stop you from running "sudo apt update"?
[09:07] <lerner> no, im doing that right now
[09:09] <cesurasean> how do i check my physical hard drives again? command?
[09:09] <musman> sudo fdisk -l
[09:09] <bekks> cesurasean: Checking it for what?
[09:09] <cesurasean> to find out its dev address
[09:10] <cesurasean> MY HD
[09:11] <AciD`> OerHeks -> well, a few minutes have past. still got the hash problem
[09:11] <AciD`> am I alone having this problem right now?
[09:12] <OerHeks> AciD`, usually it fixes itself.
[09:12] <musman> Acid, i'm facing the same
[09:12] <OerHeks> AciD`, you could try to change mirror
[09:12] <AciD`> musman -> ok cool, then I guess I'll just have to wait a bit
[09:12] <AciD`> :)
[09:12] <blut> what does the ubuntu netboot install use to partition disks? I want to run a manual partitioning script instead of partman, preferably with fdisk. Is that in there somewhere, or do I have to include it on the initrd.gz manually?
[09:14] <bekks> blut: You could use a kickstart file, instead of modifying your initrd.gz
[09:16] <_fireion> Hi. I installed libopencv-dev in ubuntu 15.10 But I'm not able to use it.Even simple codes like http://paste.ubuntu.com/17320423/ are not compiling
[09:16] <_fireion> I used g++ file.cpp `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv` to compile
[09:16] <_fireion> It gives linker error, something like imread function not found.
[09:16] <_fireion> Anyone has any idea ?
[09:17] <bekks> _fireion: Yeah, pastebin the exact, full output please, in a pastebin.
[09:17] <blut> kickstart seems excessively complicated
[09:17] <bekks> :)
[09:17] <blut> but i will take a look at it
[09:17] <_fireion> Ok
[09:17] <bekks> blut: More simply than developing your own framework. Basically all you need is one kickstart file.
[09:18] <bekks> *simple
[09:18] <_fireion> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17320443/ bekks
[09:20] <_fireion> bekks: ldconfig -p has a lot of opencv libraries.
[09:20] <bekks> _fireion: And the one you need is listed too?
[09:20] <fishcooker> i have card 2: Headset [Logitech Wireless Headset], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] but the alsamixer will always use card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] how to set use the headset one i follow http://askubuntu.com/questions/150851/how-do-i-select-a-default-sound-card-with-alsa?
[09:20] <_fireion> bekks: I'm just using imread. This is the most basic function, should be linked automatically by ld.
[09:21] <_fireion> bekks: I'm not using nonfree modules.
[09:22] <blut> bekks, alright so I looked at kickstart. The partitioning section is still missing a huge number of options I want. How do you propose I supply my own setup script?
[09:22] <bekks> blut: I strongly doubt that you've gone through the kickstart documentation in less than 5 minutes.
[09:23] <bekks> blut: All you need to do is writing your own mykickstart.ks text file and supply it by using the ks= kernel parameter.
[09:24] <anabain> kubuntu 16.04 freshly installed. As root, can ping to 8.8.8.8 but resolving does not work (unknown host error). what's going on?
[09:24] <blut> that is constricted to the framework, which is too narrow when it comes to partitioning
[09:24] <blut> there is no, i want to make this partition as large as the memory of the computer
[09:24] <bekks> blut: Why can be scripted.
[09:24] <blut> and if this one partition exists, don't touch the disk at all
[09:25] <bekks> blut: Which can be done as well.
[09:25] <blut> right
[09:25] <blut> and it can also be done in a sh script, for which i already know the syntax
[09:25] <bekks> _fireion: After installing libopencv-dev your code compiles fine here.
[09:26] <_fireion> Oh. Are you on 15.10 ?
[09:26] <bekks> blut: So use that script from within the kickstart file.
[09:26] <_fireion> bekks:
[09:26] <bekks> _fireion: I'm on 14.04
[09:26] <_fireion> Yeah. That might be the problem. Maybe they have broken packages on 15.10
[09:26] <_fireion> Does anyone here have 15.10 ?
[09:26] <lerner> are images kernels?
[09:27] <bekks> lerner: Depends on the context.
[09:27] <_fireion> Who might be willing to try installing libopencv-dev and running that code ?
[09:27] <bekks> lerner: When will you provide the information requested?
[09:27] <nymony> Why is ubuntu changing interface naming with almost every version? From eth0 > em1 > p2p1 > p4p1 > and currently some jibberjabber
[09:27] <lerner> im downloading linux image extra 4.4.0.25 and I wonder why its not called linux kernel extra...
[09:28] <lerner> bekks, I cannot, there is no error message anymore
[09:28] <bekks> lerner: Ok, so you are not willing to provide the information requested. Maybe some one else is still willing to help you.
[09:28] <bekks> lerner: And why cant you use pastebin without errors?
[09:28] <bekks> lerner: And why are you installing even more kernels when you actually tried to remove kernels?
[09:29] <lerner> thats way too much over the line bekks , I removed upstream kernels as suggested by OerHeks and after rebooting synaptic suggested me to install several updates, among them: kernel 4.4.0.25
[09:30] <jackcom> what is awk?
[09:30] <OerHeks> lerner, sounds good, you missed a kernel update with those mainline installed http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/
[09:30] <bekks> !info awk | jackcom
[09:31] <bekks> wow :D
[09:31] <bekks> !info gawk | jackcom
[09:31] <jackcom> bekks: thanks :)
[09:31] <jackcom> pattern scanning and processing
[09:31] <jackcom> good
[09:32] <lerner> is the reason for using the words "kernel" and "image" that 2 images (generic and extra) make a kernel?
[09:33] <bekks> lerner: No.
[09:33] <bekks> lerner: "generic" contains the generic kernel image while "extra" supplies additional modules.
[09:34] <jackcom> namap -oG - 192.168.1.4 -p -vv > home/SCAN     <—— why guy don’t write like this :  -oG <filename>
[09:35] <bekks> jackcom: Ask the guy who wrote it :)
[09:35] <jackcom> i don’t know ‘-‘ behind -oG
[09:35] <jackcom> bekks: guy is in youtube
[09:35] <jackcom> lol
[09:35] <bekks> jackcom: So compare that solution with your solution.
[09:36] <lerner> im now in /var/log and Im trying to locate the log listing every process being started since I booted the laptop. Which one do I need?
[09:36] <jackcom> namap -oG - 192.168.1.4 -p -vv > home/SCAN   ——> namap -oG filename 192.168.1.4 -p -vv
[09:36] <jackcom> bekks:
[09:36] <bekks> jackcom: The command is "nmap", not "namap".
[09:36] <OerHeks> namap?
[09:36] <jackcom> nmap
[09:36] <jackcom> instead of namap
[09:36] <bekks> jackcom: So run both commands and compare them.
[09:37] <jackcom> nmap -oG - 192.168.1.4 -p -vv > home/SCAN  ——> nmap -oG filename 192.168.1.4 -p -vv
[09:37] <OerHeks> maybe you missed more typos
[09:37] <jackcom> nmap -oG - 192.168.1.4 -p -vv > home/SCAN     <— what is ‘-‘ behind -oG?
[09:37] <bekks> jackcom: You dont need to copy the commands in here.
[09:38] <jackcom> there is nmap channel?
[09:38] <Triffid_Hunter> hi, friend of mine on 14.04.4 (trusty) did an update recently and now his desktop has no window manager or taskbar, how do I go about finding out why they're gone and/or making them behave?
[09:39] <bekks> !alis | jackcom
[09:39] <somsip> Triffid_Hunter: try /var/log/apt/history.log
[09:39] <jackcom> thanks
[09:39] <Triffid_Hunter> somsip: what would I be looking for in there?
[09:39] <somsip> Triffid_Hunter: that will tell you what happened on the last update
[09:40] <k1l_> Triffid_Hunter: try another account or the guest account, if that works ok. if it doesnt look in dmesg or Xorg.0.log if the video driver is loading properly.
[09:41] <Triffid_Hunter> k1l_: desktop displays fine, programs work, I can even start gnome-wm --replace from console and get a window manager, so video drivers are fine. it's just that after login there's no window manager or taskbar on the otherwise functioning desktop
[09:41] <anabain> kubuntu 16.04 freshly installed. As root, can ping to 8.8.8.8 but resolving does not work (unknown host error). I've also tried to set it static but it does not work either. what's going on?
[09:41] <Triffid_Hunter> just checked xsession-errors, nothing interesting in there, just something about at-spi2-registryd restarting too fast
[09:42] <k1l_> Triffid_Hunter: no. if there are some parts missing that is often due to a not working 3d support from the video drivers.
[09:42] <Triffid_Hunter> anabain: check your /etc/resolv.conf
[09:42] <k1l_> Triffid_Hunter: so easy to check on guest account if the other accounts work properly. if they do its a user setting. if they dont its a 3d video driver issue.
[09:43] <anabain> Triffid_Hunter, nameserver 127.0.1.1 nothing else
[09:44] <Triffid_Hunter> k1l_: glxinfo says direct rendering: yes, will test guest account
[09:44] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Hey I'm back
[09:44] <Sheepolution> Did you saw the picture?
[09:45] <Sheepolution> http://i.imgur.com/Y7jfuYb.jpg
[09:47] <Triffid_Hunter> k1l_: guest account seems to have taskbar and WM.. how do I find out what setting it's choking on and fix it?
[09:48] <k1l_> Triffid_Hunter: ok, so quick fix: rename the .config folder to .config_backup in the users home. then login (should work now) and recopy the fconfig folders from programs you want to have back with the old settings.
[09:49] <Triffid_Hunter> k1l_: ok will do, thanks
[09:54] <okami> guys back when i was using MPC in windows there is an option to find subtitles online and download it with one click , is there an alternative in linux ?
[09:58] <Triffid_Hunter> k1l_: blowing away config seems to restore things, wonder what it choked on
[09:59] <OerHeks> !info subdownloader
[09:59] <OerHeks> smplayer has that option too, http://askubuntu.com/questions/47381/programs-to-download-subtitles-for-videos
[10:02] <fishcooker> i've got the solution pavucontrol do the best for pulseaudio
[10:02] <usrb1n> Hello. I have set a cronjob that should start at 3:05 AM. I first set it to 5 3 * * * and it worked. Then I had to make some changes on the script and removed the cron. When I set it back I didn't noticed that I have set it as 05 3 * * *
[10:02] <usrb1n> the cron did not run for 4 days and now I've spotted this
[10:03] <Sheepolution> If no one else has an idea on how to fix my purple screen problem I think I'm just going to reinstall my computer
[10:03] <usrb1n> Do you think that could be the reason? Is 05 different from 5 there?
[10:03] <Ben64> no
[10:04] <iLLet> hi
[10:04] <bekks> Sheepolution: Did you add "nomodeset" to the kernel line you are actually booting?
[10:04] <usrb1n> I've used http://crontab.guru/ and even if I put 05 3 * * * it stills saying "everyday at 3:05"
[10:05] <bekks> usrb1n: that web page does not necessarily need to be correct,
[10:05] <Kalimer0> ubuntu won start after selecting entry on grub. How do i edit the config to see text boot out of the grub loader?
[10:06] <Sheepolution> bekks: Yes: http://i.imgur.com/LZYZDlC.jpg
[10:06] <bekks> Sheepolution: And whats happening when booting that entry?
[10:06] <Sheepolution> bekks: I get a purple screen
[10:07] <Sheepolution> Basically grub's background color without any text
[10:07] <bekks> Sheepolution: So remove "quiet" and "splash" as well as keeping "nomodeset".
[10:07] <Kalimer0> bekks: the screen stays violett and blank, nothing happens
[10:08] <bekks> Kalimer0: how do you boot that entry after adding/remove options?
[10:08] <Sheepolution> It also originally has $vt_handoff after splash. What should I do with that?
[10:09] <Kalimer0> i might have the same problem as Sheepolution
[10:09] <bekks> Sheepolution: dont touch that.
[10:09] <Sheepolution> Kalimer0: Oh that'd be great. Knowing I'm not alone
[10:09] <Kalimer0> bekks: i did not change anything so far
[10:10] <Sheepolution> bekks: Okay so: ...6773c05 ro nomodeset $vt_handoff
[10:10] <Kalimer0> Sheepolution: selecting ubuntu entry and get a blank violett screen?
[10:10] <Sheepolution> Kalimer0: Yes
[10:10] <Sheepolution> Kalimer0: Even though it worked normally yesterday
[10:11] <Sheepolution> bekks: This still gives me a purple screen
[10:12] <bekks> Sheepolution: What did you change since yesterday?
[10:13] <Sheepolution> bekks: I did sudo apt-get install (I'm not sure what). But when I did that it did some kind of big update that took a good 15 minutes.
[10:13] <Kalimer0> bekks: for me it was an update which failed since then i have multiple ubuntu entries in grub and none of them work
[10:13] <bekks> Sheepolution: And which kernel version are you trying to boot now?
[10:15] <Sheepolution> It says "/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-83-generic.efi.signed"
[10:15] <Kalimer0> for me its 3.13.0-66
[10:16] <bekks> Sheepolution: Which ubuntu are you running?
[10:16] <Sheepolution> 14.04, I think
[10:17] <Sheepolution> I have a LiveUSB ready if you want me to check certain files btw
[10:17] <waxhead> anyone a disk guru?
[10:17] <bekks> Sheepolution: can you boot into failsafe mode?
[10:17] <waxhead> and maybe zfs, but don't think it's a zfs specific issue...
[10:17] <bekks> waxhead: How does that poll help you? :)
[10:17] <bekks> !ask | waxhead
[10:18] <Sheepolution> bekks: not sure how to?
[10:19] <waxhead> ok, so a ZFS ZRAID2 and I'm trying to add the missing spare disk, but get this error: Jun 14 20:00:06 piglet systemd[2716]: dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-zfs.device: Dev dev-disk-by\x2dpartlabel-zfs.device appeared twice with different sysfs paths /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/0000:02:00.0/host0/target0:0:7/0:0:7:0/block/sdh/sdh1 and /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/0000:02:00.0/host0/target0:0:4/0:0:4:0/block/sde/sde1

[10:19] <bekks> !pastebin | waxhead
[10:19] <waxhead> hmm.. should have pastebined that one...
[10:19] <waxhead> yeah, sorry...
[10:19] <bekks> Sheepolution: BY selecting that entry from the grub menu.
[10:20] <Sheepolution> bekks: On grub I have: "advanced options for ubuntu", in there it says "Ubuntu recovery mode"
[10:20] <bekks> Sheepolution: So boot that entry.
[10:20] <Sheepolution> bekks: I've done this before but I think it got stuck. Or maybe I was just impatient.
[10:21] <Sheepolution> bekks: One moment, I'll make a picture
[10:21] <bekks> Sheepolution: you can use nomodeset there, too.
[10:22] <waxhead> OK, here's all the output: http://pastebin.com/6hwn4a0i
[10:24] <Sheepolution> bekks: http://i.imgur.com/tkTybf1.jpg
[10:25] <bekks> Sheepolution: that filesystem seems horribly corrupted.
[10:25] <Sheepolution> Oh. Well shit. Now what?
[10:25] <bekks> Sheepolution: Grab your backup and restore it.
[10:25] <Sheepolution> Is my best option to reinstall ubuntu because I'm okay with doing that
[10:26] <Sheepolution> Okay
[10:28] <Sheepolution> bekks: I haven't made system backups (unless Ubuntu somehow does that automatically), but that might be useful in the future. How does it work?
[10:28] <Kalimer0> bekks: may you can help me with the same problem ?
[10:29] <bekks> !backup | Sheepolution
[10:30] <bekks> Kalimer0: You said you booted with nomodeset already, and you said you did not modify anything so far in grub. Which one is correct?
[10:32] <Kalimer0> bekks: i changed nothing so far. sometimes when i select an entry it boots up but get an ubuntu screen which says that efi partion could not mounted properly
[10:32] <bekks> Which is quite different from the error Sheepolution gets.
[10:32] <Diplomat> Hey guys.. any ideas why I'm getting this error "unknown authentication mechanism: rimap" ?
[10:33] <Diplomat> When I check the version it shows me "authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap"
[10:33] <bekks> Diplomat: So remove the rimap entry then?
[10:34] <neil_> what is the chat channel
[10:34] <Kalimer0> bekks: yeah but the symptomes were the same :)
[10:35] <bekks> !ot | neil_
[10:35] <Diplomat> bekks: why? I'd need to use it
[10:36] <bekks> Diplomat: It is erroring out, isnt it?
[10:37] <Diplomat> bekks: it worked fine before.. but then I restarted saslauthd and now I get that message
[10:38] <bekks> Diplomat: So take a look at the logs of that service, maybe.
[10:41] <hateball> Sheepolution: I've had issues with samsung SSD's (ncq) on older kernels but it should be blacklisted in recent ones. If that is what led to your fs being corrupted
[10:42] <hateball> Sheepolution: at any rate you can manually workaround it by appending "libata.force=noncq" to your boot line
[10:42] <Sheepolution> hateball: Is that to prevent the corrupting or can I still try that now?
[10:42] <hateball> Sheepolution: it is to prevent, it wont fix a broken fs
[10:43] <Sheepolution> Ah okay, thanks
[10:43] <hateball> Sheepolution: did you experience any freezes etc before?
[10:43] <Sheepolution> hateball: I don't think so
[10:44] <hateball> Sheepolution: hmm ok. well, it doesnt do you any harm using that parameter regardless
[10:44] <Diplomat> bekks: checking the log doesn't show anything besides "unknown authentication mechanism: rimap#015"
[10:44] <Sheepolution> Although... sometimes I go in hibernate. When I try to start it out of hibernate it sometimes freezes and I have to restart my computer
[10:44] <Diplomat> What's confusing as hell is that it worked fine before
[10:44] <hateball> Sheepolution: well hibernate (and with nvidia blob) is a fickle thing so who knows
[10:45] <hateball> Sheepolution: probably unrelated anyhow
[10:45] <hateball> Sheepolution: if you're reinstalling, I'd go with 16.04
[10:46] <Sheepolution> hateball: Sure, I already have it on my usb anyway for the live version
[10:46] <hateball> Sheepolution: as I said, recent kernels (like on 16.04) should already blacklist ncq for affected drives. If that was indeed the problem
[10:48] <Sheepolution> Is there a way to get permission to files of my Ubuntu install from a Live USB?
[10:48] <EriC^^> Sheepolution: yeah, mount the partition and type sudo -i and browse it
[10:49] <hateball> if your fs  is corrupted beyond fscks help you wont have much joy
[10:49] <younder> Sheepolution, http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
[10:53] <hicorp> Hail
[10:55] <hicoleri>  what are the other ways to change the default theme for qt applications aside from qtconfig? qtconfig doesn't seem to work for me for some reason
[10:56] <mircx1> Hello i need please help after i do make and i get error how i can fix it please?
[10:56] <mircx1> ../usr/include/stdio.h:678:20: note: previous declaration of ‘getline’
[10:57] <auronandace|work> mircx1: any reason you are compiling something? isn't there a package in the repo?
[10:58] <mircx1> no but this a error i get
[10:59] <bekks> mircx1: Can you pastebin the entire output along with the command you are using please?
[11:07] <mircx1> yes
[11:07] <mircx1> bekks
[11:08] <mircx1> take http://paste.ubuntu.com/17321693/
[11:09] <k1l_> mircx1: are you sure you got all the depencies that code needs? look into the readme or website, they should name them
[11:10] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, I see that your grub config only has nomodeset for only one line. you should add it to all three
[11:11] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, I also think you should check your file system via Live USB to verify that you have your root partition in good state still
[11:11] <bekks> AnthonyMalczanek: hist fs is broken, it is missing /sbin/init
[11:11] <AnthonyMalczanek> Are you sure?
[11:11] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: When I add it to the third line it says  `Unkown command" or something
[11:11] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, add it to all the lines that start with linux /boot/vmlinuz
[11:12] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: http://i.imgur.com/tkTybf1.jpg
[11:12] <AnthonyMalczanek> And use the live USB to find the correct UUID to your root partition. I'm guessing your partition UUID may have changed and the kernel is booting without mounting the correct root FS
[11:13] <AnthonyMalczanek> Yeah, so use the live USB and make sure you're booting the right FS. Maybe you're mounting another partition as root and that's why the init script is missing?
[11:14] <hicorp> Hail. What means: GRUB?
[11:14] <AnthonyMalczanek> Can you pastebin or imgur your partition table for all drives? Try fdisk -L /dev/sda  ; fdisk -L /dev/sdb; etc...
[11:15] <ThePendulum> When booting (L)ubuntu 16.04, I get a message '/dev/sda5 cleared 802374082734 blocks' or something, which apparently can be expected; however, this message doesn't clear, and keeps prompting over normal display, making the system unusable
[11:15] <bekks> !info grub2 | hicorp
[11:15] <hicorp> Thanks, ubottu.
[11:15] <hicorp> Thanks, bekks.
[11:15] <AnthonyMalczanek> I think you meant bekks lol
[11:16] <AnthonyMalczanek> hicorp, it can also stand for Gangster, Really Unstable Bootloader
[11:16] <hicorp> Haha AnthonyMalczanek.
[11:16] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: is $vt_handoff in grub?
[11:17] <hicorp> Fabulous, AnthonyMalczanek.
[11:17] <EriC^^> ThePendulum: try grep vt_handoff /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:17] <newbuntu> So I resized my partitions. But now every startup takes like 2 minutes... is there a way to way to speed this up again... Before I had under 20 sec.
[11:17] <lerner> I need to upload the output of xubuntu shutting down, but after hitting shut down I only get a blank screen. People at launchpad told me to add "debug=y" to grub, which I did, but I still get a blank screen. Do you have any other ideas, so I get to see what is going on during shutdown?
[11:18] <mircx1> k1l_ yes i sure and i`m run it in ubuntu 14.04
[11:18] <ThePendulum> EriC^^: http://sprunge.us/PFBb
[11:19] <EriC^^> newbuntu: are the uuid's in check in /etc/fstab vs actual ones? did you have to delete the swap and recreate it perhaps?
[11:19] <AnthonyMalczanek> newbuntu, did you check /var/log/messages?
[11:19] <newbuntu> EriC^^: yes
[11:19] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: There is no file called sda or sdb in /dev/
[11:19] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:19] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, orly?
[11:20] <newbuntu> EriC^^: I recreated the swap...
[11:20] <EriC^^> newbuntu: oh, that might be it, type sudo blkid | grep swap
[11:20] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, just curious, can you patebin your dmesg output, /var/log/syslog, mount, and ls -la /dev ?
[11:20] <EriC^^> and replace the uuid in /etc/fstab with the new one
[11:23] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, can you run "dmesg > crap ; cat /var/log/syslog >> crap ; mount >> crap ; ls -la /dev >> crap ; cat crap | pastebinit"
[11:24] <AnthonyMalczanek> and drop the output here?
[11:24] <newbuntu> EriC^^: Ok I did.... wait a sec I test it....
[11:26] <UbuntuSheepoluti> AnthonyMalczanek: Doesn't that need to be modified so that it takes my mounted drive and not the files of my live version?
[11:26] <newbuntu_> EriC^^:  ok... starting up like in the old times....
[11:27] <k1l_> lerner: look in /var/log for the syslog and dmesg and the older ones. look at the last lines from the time of the shutdown
[11:27] <EriC^^> newbuntu_: cool
[11:27] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: but I have a nother questing :D

[11:28] <AnthonyMalczanek> and sda has 1 partition, sdb has 3 partitions and sdc has 0 partitions
[11:29] <k1l_> mircx1: wait, you were the guy compiling the irc services? are you still sure you need them? like you are running your own irc network?
[11:29] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: But isn't it using my usb live files?
[11:29] <Pehab> quit
[11:29] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, this is devfs, so the device filesystem. It lists the devices as attached to your computer. /dev/sda and /dev/sdb are hard drives
[11:29] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: Since I installed Ubuntu on my box the touchpad never works after the first startup... I always have to suspend it and start it up again...
[11:30] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: "uname -a": Linux deeplinx 4.4.0-24-generic #43-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 8 19:27:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[11:30] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: Lenovo Yoga 13
[11:31] <EriC^^> newbuntu_: did you try adding the acpi_osi stuff?
[11:32] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: no... never heard of it
[11:32] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, looks like your secondary drive, sdb, has three partitions. Can you now run: "blkid > crap; ls -la /media/ubuntu/ae15ee00-6763-4ab6-9024-7a857fc5f9dd >> crap ; ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05 >> crap ; cat crap | pastebinit ; rm -f crap" and paste the results here?
[11:35] <EriC^^> newbuntu_: try sudo strings /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT | grep Windows
[11:35] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, what is /dev/sdb1? Maybe your files are there? Can you also do "fdisk -l /dev/sdb | pastebinit" and paste that here too?
[11:37] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: Windows 2012 Windows 2001 Windows 2001 SP1 Windows 2001 SP2 Windows 2001.1 Windows 2006 Windows 2009
[11:37] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: http://i.imgur.com/qek85sn.jpg
[11:37] <AnthonyMalczanek> LoL 2001 = XP, 2006 = Vista, 2009 = 7?
[11:38] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, that's the wrong directory. Don't worry about that. Run the commands above and drop me the output. We're looking to see the contents of the /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 partitions. Maybe you need to boot with your rootfs being /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb2
[11:41] <AnthonyMalczanek> Yeah, if you could run the commands above, we can check to see which filesystem has what on it, then we can see if we need to change your grub config. Also, fdisk -l /dev/sdb will give us your partition tables. Run the commands above so we can see your partition UUIDs, your /dev/sdb1 contents, your /dev/sdb2 contents, and in the second command the partition table on your 120gb drive
[11:42] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Result of fdisk -L /dev/sdb | pastebinit http://paste.ubuntu.com/17321948/
[11:42] <lordramus> hello
[11:42] <lordramus> What do you think of the new ubuntu

[11:42] <lyze> !offtopic
[11:43] <OerHeks> hi lordramus, this is the ubuntu support channel, not the polling channel
[11:43] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, no, it isn't
[11:44] <AnthonyMalczanek> lordramus, we think it sucks. This is the secret RedHat lover's channel
[11:44] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Oh oops http://paste.ubuntu.com/17322149/
[11:44] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, yeah, so your /boot/efi is /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb2 is the correct root
[11:45] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, can you do "ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05 > crap ; ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/sbin >> crap ; cat crap | pastebinit ; rm -f crap" and paste that too?
[11:46] <AnthonyMalczanek> or if you're running IRC on the ubuntu box, then you can just /exec all this stuff from the IRC window
[11:46] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17322212/
[11:47] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: ?
[11:47] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: UbuntuSheep is me on Ubuntu and Sheepolution is me on my windows laptop
[11:47] <UbuntuSheep> Oh wait I read it wrong
[11:48] <AnthonyMalczanek> can you also paste the output of "ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/lib/systemd/systemd"
[11:48] <UbuntuSheep> "No such file or directory"
[11:48] <AnthonyMalczanek> because my box has a symlink between /sbin/init and /lib/systemd/systemd
[11:49] <AnthonyMalczanek> try "ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/lib/systemd"
[11:49] <newbuntu_> EriC^^: never mind.... I just restart....

[11:50] <Kalimer0> ubuntu cant mount the efi partion properly. fsck gave //boot/efi [656] status 32. fstab is looking fine even i cant boot up. any ideas?
[11:50] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, I think we found your problem here. You're missing systemd. Is this an upgraded install from an old 14.x or early 15.x ubuntu?
[11:51] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: 14.x
[11:51] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: I'm fairly sure I have/had 14.04
[11:51] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, it looks like systemd didn't install properly on upgrade
[11:52] <AnthonyMalczanek> Wait, what version is this supposed to be now? can you "cat /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/etc/lsb-release" ?
[11:52] <UbuntuSheep> DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS"
[11:53] <AnthonyMalczanek> Oh.. Idk I don't remember 14.04 if it was systemd yet..
[11:53] <AnthonyMalczanek> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17322301/ is what I get if I ls /lib/systemd
[11:53] <bekks> 14.04 wasnt systemd.
[11:54] <AnthonyMalczanek> bekks, do you have a 14.04 LTS box you can ls -la /sbin/init on and tell us what the symlink points to?
[11:54] <AnthonyMalczanek> or does anyone have a 14.04 box that can run that command for us?
[11:56] <Kalimer0> AnthonyMalczanek: /sbin/init --> /lib/systemd/systemd
[11:56] <AnthonyMalczanek> herm
[11:56] <AnthonyMalczanek> figures
[11:56] <Kalimer0> AnthonyMalczanek: sry was a 16.04
[11:56] <AnthonyMalczanek> erh
[11:56] <AnthonyMalczanek> okay
[11:57] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, someone recommended you change your grub.cfg to say "rw" instead of "ro"
[11:57] <Kalimer0> AnthonyMalczanek: getting confused try to repair a 14.04 but the other one is a 16.04
[11:57] <AnthonyMalczanek> Can you try booting with "rw" option?
[11:57] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Sure
[11:57] <bekks> AnthonyMalczanek: Sure, one second.
[11:57] <AnthonyMalczanek> bekks, thank you!
[11:57] <AnthonyMalczanek> Kalimer0, thank you for trying.
[11:57] <jatin30> My question is related to windows so please see if anyone can help because on ##windows some guy is spamming gay jokes. Hi I was facing wifi connecting issues from a day but then i followed a video and using that it got fixed, but I dont know what exactly the commands did. could someone explain me the commands used were - netsh int tcp heuristics disabled, autotuninglevel=disabled, rss=enabled. TIA
[11:57] <bekks> AnthonyMalczanek: No symlink, plain file.
[11:58] <AnthonyMalczanek> bekks, can you md5sum and tell us the mtime?
[11:58] <OerHeks> jatin30, still, wrong channel for windows support
[11:59] <bekks> AnthonyMalczanek: 249b19aaa268143c3a0b3d6aa9faa070  /sbin/init 2014-07-18 11:46:51.000000000 +0200
[11:59] <jatin30> any other channel except ##windows
[11:59] <bekks> jatin30: Ask in ##windows please.
[11:59] <jatin30> a guy is spamming on ##windows
[11:59] <jatin30> ok nevermind
[11:59] <bekks> jatin30: No one in here cares.
[11:59] <Ben64> doesn't make it on topic here
[11:59] <Sheepolution> AnthonyMalczanek: Change anything else? Right now I have: ...6773c05 rw quiet splash $vt_handoff
[12:00] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, try booting with that. If that doesn't work then go back to live USB and let's try chrooting to the partition and fixing it
[12:01] <Sheepolution> Yeah this didn't work :(
[12:01] <boriseto> Can somebody tell me how can I reinstall  all  the default fonts that are in Ubuntu 14.04?
[12:03] <DuncanT> I've upgraded to 16.04 and I'm seeing some weird graphical glitches, particularly in firefox. Some text will render with one line of pixels slightly shifted. Clears up temporarily by scrolling off the screen and back or a refresh. I've done some googling but found nothing. Anybody got any suggestions, please?
[12:03] <Sheepolution> Ehm.. wat. Now my live USB broke .__.
[12:03] <Sheepolution> Oh.. never mind it's booting
[12:04] <Sheepolution> It had these weird messages that weren't there before I think
[12:04] <OerHeks> boriseto, fastest way would be reinstall ubuntu-desktop packages i guess. hard to find out what fonts should be there.
[12:05] <OerHeks> sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[12:05] <boriseto> OerHeks, I guess the other way would be to just copy/paste the fonts folder from a fresh installation... :| Will check that way out, thanks
[12:05] <Kalimer0> ubuntu 14.04.4 cant mount the efi partion properly. fsck gave //boot/efi [656] status 32. fstab is looking fine even i cant boot up. any ideas?
[12:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, netsh is an executable that changes settings regarding the networking stack. tcp heruistics and autotuning are about the way the TCP stack times its transmission and restransmission so that it doesn't flood a slow link or go too slow on a fast link... essentially, TCP tries to go as fast as the pipe can go without going too fast and dropping packets, but this needs to be automatically adjusted all the time. i
[12:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> wouldn't disable those since they're probably important. the last setting, rss, is receive side scaling and it allows multiple processors to handle network card interrupts, so it splits the processing load across multiple cores if available.. I don't know why any of these would help wit your WiFi
[12:06] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, try this
[12:06] <boriseto> OerHeks, didn't fetch the fonts (or any removed packages). Can confirm with the fact that I have transmition removed for the sake of qBittorrent...
[12:07] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Try what exactly?
[12:08] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, thanks a lot but my wifi is working fine. should I undo what I just did?
[12:08] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, "chroot /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05 /bin/bash"
[12:08] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, and then "dpkg --configure -a; apt-get install -f" in the new shell
[12:08] <AnthonyMalczanek> and see what that outputs
[12:09] <AnthonyMalczanek> hopefully the fs is already mounted as rw
[12:10] <AnthonyMalczanek> this should change the root to your /dev/sdb2 partition where its mounted, then attempt to run dpkg and apt-get to fix the installation and configuration of packages that hasn't completed properly
[12:13] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, any news? How's that command working? Is your live USB able to connect to the internet?
[12:13] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, can I dm you?
[12:13] <AnthonyMalczanek> oops wrong keys lol
[12:13] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Yes. The first command says that that file/folder doesn't exist
[12:13] <jatin30> AnthonyMalczanek, can I dm you?
[12:14] <AnthonyMalczanek> no
[12:14] <jatin30> ok
[12:14] <jatin30> so should i undo what i just did
[12:14] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, can you do "ls -la /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/bin/bash" ?
[12:14] <UbuntuSheep> Also for some reason I'm not able to open nautilus
[12:14] <AnthonyMalczanek> jatin30, try it. if it fucks up your wifi you can always redo it, but those settings seem kinda bad if you ask me
[12:15] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1021112 Oct  7  2014 /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05/bin/bash
[12:15] <AnthonyMalczanek> okay, so then "chroot /media/ubuntu/4684d109-9bb3-4b68-96e6-8fedf6773c05 /bin/bash" should work
[12:15] <AnthonyMalczanek> what's it telling you?
[12:16] <UbuntuSheep> Oh I think I missed the /bin/bash part
[12:16] <UbuntuSheep> Now it' s complaining about permission
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> what's the exact output?
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> sudo chroot blah blah blah
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> if anything
[12:17] <UbuntuSheep> Simply put sudo in front right?
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> try that
[12:17] <UbuntuSheep> Okay so I ded the dpkg command
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> after chroot?
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> because it won't work before chroot
[12:17] <AnthonyMalczanek> or it will but it won't fix anything

[12:27] <Jakey3> anyone know how i can solve the sound issue
[12:27] <AnthonyMalczanek> Maybe you're out of disk space.
[12:28] <bekks> DaniKitten: Pastebin "lsb_release -a" please.
[12:28] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, do you have a 487 anywhere? You'll need that to decode MP3s. Or an MP3 decoder that doesn't use floating point math........
[12:28] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, "cat /etc/lsb-release | pastebinit"
[12:29] <AnthonyMalczanek> err wait not the same

[12:29] <DaniKitten> my older computer only plays wav

[12:30] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, https://www.mpg123.de/ <- this is an integer math mp3 decoder that should work on your 486
[12:31] <DaniKitten> I don't have pastebinit
[12:32] <DaniKitten> I need to install it
[12:32] <bekks> You can copy and paste the output of lsb_release -a
[12:32] <bekks> Or install pastebinit
[12:32] <OerHeks> cat /etc/lsb-release | nc termbin.com 9999 # this works without installing anything
[12:32] <bekks> OR use: lsb_release -a | nc termbin.com 9999
[12:32] <AnthonyMalczanek> UbuntuSheep, at this point, I recommend you use the Live USB to back up your files that you need from your Linux partition and then reintall Ubuntu. The sunken cost of trying to restore this install so far has outweighed the time it would take to back up your files and install from scratch. It's not easily recoverable because it seems your filesystem is fucked up, your packages haven't finished installing, and you
[12:32] <AnthonyMalczanek> can't boot with your current kernel. I'd say you start over.
[12:33] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, https://www.mpg123.de/ install this and play mp3's on your 486
[12:33] <DaniKitten> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17322885/
[12:34] <AnthonyMalczanek> I used to play them on a dual 486 I used to have. That thing was 31337. Dual 486 DX2-66 with 8MB of RAM.. I put a video card with 12MB of VRAM on it just so I could have more VRAM than actual RAM lol.
[12:34] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, is that from your netbook or the 486? Can you give us cat /proc/cpuinfo also?
[12:35] <DaniKitten> Mine is a single Texas Instruments 486DX-2 at 66 Mhz and 16 MB RAM
[12:35] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sheepolution, sorry, I really was hoping we could fix your install. Good luck with the reinstall.
[12:35] <DaniKitten> Is for my 486

[12:35] <UbuntuSheep> AnthonyMalczanek: Fair enough. Thanks for trying to help me though. I' m very grateful for it.

[12:35] <DaniKitten> Does not have linux
[12:36] <DaniKitten> I want the .MP3 to .WAV
[12:36] <AnthonyMalczanek> Sure. I recommend you blacklist the nouveau driver, put "nomodeset" in your kernel boot options, and install the binary NVIDIA drivers after you reinstall. They're way better than nouveau.
[12:36] <DaniKitten> run it on my netbook
[12:36] <bekks> !info ffmpeg | DaniKitten
[12:36] <AnthonyMalczanek> DaniKitten, what OS are you running on the 486?
[12:36] <DaniKitten> And copy the .WAV i just got to a CD-RW and read it from my 486
[12:36] <DaniKitten> Microsoft DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11
[12:38] <DaniKitten> I want the .MP3 to .WAV converter, then copy the .WAV files I created to a CD, put the CD on my 486 and at last play the .WAV songs from there

[12:47] <Ben64> lerner: vista isn't any standard. windows can play pretty much nothing on its own
[12:47] <lerner> I just reproduced what they say
[12:51] <frib> after installing windows 7 my ubuntu 14.04 grub is messed up and I don't know if I am using uefi boot or legacy and I'm totally confused.  please help!
[12:52] <Ben64> !fixboot | frib
[12:52] <ioria> frib, [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
[12:52] <Ben64> hmm...
[12:52] <terminal_crawler> frib: Do you have a Linux Live CD you can boot from? This will help us diagnose and determine how it boots.
[12:52] <Ben64> !fixgrub
[12:52] <Ben64> there we are
[12:52] <frib> terminal_crawler, yes that's how I booted into here now!
[12:52] <terminal_crawler> frib: Do what ioria suggests haha
[12:52] <terminal_crawler> frib: Run the line that ioria sent.
[12:52] <frib> in this chat?
[12:53] <terminal_crawler> In a terminal
[12:54] <frib> BIOS
[12:55] <ioria> frib,  so just reinstall grub on /dev/sda
[12:55] <ioria> frib,  if you have just one disk
[12:55] <frib> ioria,  warning: this GPT partition label contains no BIOS Boot Partition
[12:56] <frib> embedding is not possible, will not proceed with blocklists
[12:56] <lerner> what video codec should I use for an ogg streaM?
[12:57] <terminal_crawler> frib: I had this issue.
[12:57] <ioria> frib,  what's the command issued ?
[12:57] <terminal_crawler> frib: Ill get you the Arch linux install guide - very helpful
[12:57] <frib> ioria, what do you mean second command issued?
[12:57] <ioria> frib, what command did you run ?
[12:57] <frib> ioria, sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[12:58] <ioria> frib, sudo update-grub ?
[12:58] <OerHeks> i would go for the !fixgrub factoid, not an arch guide
[12:58] <frib> ioria, works fine.  but i also tried that before
[12:59] <ioria> frib, did it find the win entry ?
[12:59] <frib> ioria, Windows 7? yes
[13:00] <ioria> frib, sudo parted -l ?
[13:00] <terminal_crawler> frib: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#GUID_Partition_Table_.28GPT.29_specific_instructions
[13:00] <frib> ioria, btw /dev/sda1 EFI boot partition that I guess i'm not using, dont know, /dev/sda2 = swap, /dev/sda3 = 14.04, /dev/sda4 = windows 7
[13:00] <frib> sda1 has boot flag sda 4 has msftdata flag
[13:00] <terminal_crawler> OerHeks: The only reason I mention Arch is it explains what to do about Boot partitions
[13:01] <ioria> frib, can you paste on paste.ubuntu.com or use pastebinit ?
[13:01] <frib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17323366/
[13:02] <ioria> frib, you are using gpt ...
[13:02] <frib> ioria, i thought so, but the command you asked me to run output BIOS
[13:03] <frib> also my boot partition has a boot flag which I Read is for mbr soo i'm confused ihave no idea how this works
[13:03] <frib> don't even know if I'm actually using that boot partition
[13:03] <niko> :14
[13:03] <frib> or if there are diferent versions of grub for mbr and uefi and which one i have
[13:06] <Ploks> j #ubuntu-fi
[13:06] <Ploks> ...
[13:06] <frib> ioria, what should I do ?
[13:06] <ioria> frib, df -H
[13:06] <frib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17323366/
[13:07] <ioria> frib, df -H
[13:09] <frib> ioria, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17323366/
[13:10] <ioria> frib, df -H , not sudo parted -l
[13:10] <frib> ioria, sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/17323537/
[13:10] <ioria> frib, seems you are uefi
[13:11] <frib> ioria, ok but I Can still fix grub right?
[13:11] <ioria> frib, but your root is 99% ???
[13:11] <frib> ioria, i know i saw that i'm freeing up space now
[13:12] <frib> it's like I free up 20g and then 20 min later i'm back at 100% i dont get it
[13:12] <ioria> frib, rerun this command please   [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS
[13:12] <frib> 10gb for 1 virtual box snapshot ffs
[13:13] <frib> still BIOS
[13:13] <frib> i dont know how this command works but it may be related to the fact that I in fact did boot this time via BIOS ?
[13:13] <frib> i used a persistent USB with old version of ubuntu on it, did update-grub in there as a means to get back into this installation
[13:14] <ioria> frib, just ls  /sys/firmware/efi, if present
[13:14] <frib> no such file or directory
[13:15] <frib> directories in /sys/firmware are acpi and memmap
[13:16] <ioria> frib,  how did you install ubuntu , in uefi mode ?
[13:16] <frib> ioria, i assume so, but it was very long ago i do not remember
[13:16] <frib> but it must be because at boot I can find it if I choose "boot from EFI file"
[13:17] <frib> also isn't the disk a GPT partition table so must be UEFI ?
[13:17] <ioria> yep
[13:17] <ioria> frib,  how did you install win7 ?
[13:17] <ioria> frib,  for future , install first win and then ubu
[13:18] <frib> must be via UEFI, because in the 1st 24 hours of trying to do that apparently using MBR it told me "this is a GPT partition, cannot install here"
[13:18] <frib> finally i was able to install it, assuming via UEFI
[13:18] <frib> ioria, i know the windows first rule but didn't know I would be needing windows
[13:19] <frib> apparently the ONLY way to flash the LG G3 with stock firmware is using windows, not 8, not xp, but windows 7, ONLY
[13:19] <Superi> hello
[13:19] <Superi> can someone help me
[13:19] <Superi> i just installed steam on my ubuntu machine but steam wont start
[13:20] <kristhian> lately i had some issues with my unity but now that i have resolved it here is another problem. i am trying to open up localhost for xampp in my system but it says that it has already startup
[13:20] <kristhian> but i could not run localhost to my web
[13:20] <ioria> frib,  there is also boot-repair, if you want
[13:20] <frib> ioria, you think I Should try that?
[13:21] <kristhian> when i stop it is says that it failed to stop
[13:21] <ioria> frib,  personally, never used
[13:21] <frib> ioria, boot-repair: The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session.
[13:21] <frib> only that I am not able to boot in an EFI session afaik, do you know how ?
[13:21] <ioria> frib,  so you booted in bios mode ? why ?
[13:21] <frib> ioria, because I can't boot in EFI i dont know how
[13:22] <frib> if i boot as I normally used to, i get a grub command line
[13:22] <frib> i tried  loading linux initrd etc in grub but then when i go to boot it tells me video mode something or other, booting in blind mode and then it just hangs
[13:22] <kristhian> http://termbin.com/m5rl - http://termbin.com/o4y3
[13:22] <ioria> frib,  don't boot on Legacy if you  have installed uefi, you need a live cd then
[13:23] <frib> oo now that I am back in ubuntu I can make a uefi usb
[13:23] <frib> so when I boot with uefi session can I just run grub-install /dev/sda to get it back to normal ?
[13:23] <ioria> frib,  they already are
[13:24] <frib> ioria, what already are ?
[13:24] <ioria> frib,  the live usb
[13:24] <frib> o you mean the img is already a uefi image
[13:24] <ioria> frib,  yes
[13:24] <ioria> frib,  the iso, i mean
[13:24] <frib> ok, ya i jus tmean the ubuntu usb i used to get in here ( the only means of booting I have atm) is not
[13:25] <frib> anyway i will do that
[13:25] <ioria> frib,  you have to mount partitions in /mnt , chroot  and then reinstall grub
[13:25] <frib> you mean /sys /proc /etc ?
[13:26] <ioria> frib,  yes
[13:26] <frib> ioria, can't I just boot the efi image directly associated with this ubuntu installation and install from there? or that always goes to grub ??
[13:27] <ioria> frib,  idk that
[13:28] <frib> ioria, ill try both
[13:28] <ioria> frib,  http://superuser.com/questions/376470/how-to-reinstall-grub2-efi
[13:29] <Superi> can someone hel me? my steam wont start
[13:30] <kristhian> anything to help me resolve this issue
[13:30] <kristhian> http://termbin.com/o4y3

[13:30] <k1l_> !lamp | kristhian
[13:30] <kristhian> i see
[13:30] <kristhian> ok
[13:30] <ioria> frib,  first you mount / on /mnt, then the efi partition, like sudo mount /dev/sdax /mnt/boot/efi
[13:31] <ioria> frib,  then for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[13:31] <frib> ioria, thanks i will do that, i really appreciate your help!
[13:31] <frib> ioria, ok i will follow the guide you sent
[13:31] <ioria> frib,  ok
[13:32] <kristhian> how do i uninstall this to my system btw?
[13:32] <kristhian> xampp?
[13:32] <k1l_> kristhian: see the bots message.
[13:32] <kristhian> just try to rm -rf
[13:33] <k1l_> run /opt/lampp/uninstall
[13:35] <kristhian> ok
[13:35] <kristhian> thanks
[13:45] <Sheepolution> On windows when you type ' and then type t it will type: 't. On ubuntu however, with the settings: English (US) English (US, internation with dead keys) it doesn't type anything
[13:45] <Sheepolution> What setting do I need to use to get the same effect as on Windows?
[13:45] <k1l_> try pressing ' 2 times
[13:46] <kristhian> k1l_, what does this means ^?
[13:46] <kristhian> in this sudo apt-get install lamp-server^
[13:46] <Sheepolution> k1l_: Oh, I guess that works. But it would be nice to have the same style as on windows so I won't get confused
[13:46] <k1l_> kristhian: its a tasksel. which means it will install several packages.
[13:47] <kristhian> ah
[13:47] <kristhian> thanks
[13:48] <marcmarc> Hi, my swap partition is inactive after upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04. How can I fix this?

[13:52] <cappe> Hello guys, yesterday I found a possible rootkit in my system. Could you check with my rkhunter's logfile after a system scan for infections... have a look: http://pastebin.com/09SGZ3eV
[13:52] <OerHeks> kristhian, what ppa exactly?
[13:53] <calamity> cappe, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1931897 ?
[13:53] <kristhian> i do not know - i just run into that error when i tried apt-get update
[13:54] <k1l_> cappe: as already told yesterday: reinstall.
[13:54] <cappe> and you are sure about me being infected k1l_ ?
[13:54] <OerHeks> kristhian, what is the output of ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  # and paste it on paste.ubuntu.com
[13:55] <k1l_> cappe: you said you are infected
[13:55] <k1l_> kristhian: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1015216E75198A89
[13:55] <Superi> how i install xorg drivers for ubuntu 16.04
[13:55] <k1l_> Superi: for what video card?
[13:55] <Superi> pitcairn XT HD7870
[13:56] <Superi> i cannot run steam because radeon error
[13:56] <k1l_> so amd? then you cant install it. amd doesnt make fglrx anymore. they now provide amd_gpu, but that doesnt work for all cards yet
[13:56] <OerHeks> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx
[13:57] <Superi> yes my next card is nvidia
[13:57] <cappe> yeah judging from ssh which does not issue a "Illegal Option" with the command: ssh -G <--- and that's an indication of a ssh-infected system
[13:57] <Superi> http://pastebin.com/C7RkGnnC this errors because i try start steam
[13:57] <SchrodingersScat> cappe: I don't really see anything there, but I'm no expert, you're the captain of your ship
[13:57] <k1l_> cappe: who said you are infected?
[13:57] <cappe> Well, I'm afraid so, mostly myself
[13:58] <k1l_> cappe: thing is: if you are infected there is no way to make your system 100% clean again, beside doing a reinstall.
[13:58] <somsip> cappe: you did this all about 10 hours ago. Why flogging the dead horse?
[13:58] <k1l_> cappe: well, what makes you think you are infected? or just beeing paranoid?
[13:58] <somsip> k1l_: a website from Sep 2014 that he posted earlier...
[14:00] <cappe> and a ssh -G does NOT issue Illegal Option which it should If my system wouldn't be infected. It really should since the command really don't tell me my flag was wrong..
[14:00] <SchrodingersScat> cappe: and what's the output? pastebin
[14:00] <SchrodingersScat> cappe: should just dump a bunch of configs
[14:00] <cappe> hold on..
[14:02] <k1l_> cappe: the page i linked you yesterday tells you exactly how to see if you are infected.
[14:06] <cappe> http://pastebin.com/BnSXTL71 <-- there's the proof about my ssh program being compromised.
[14:06] <k1l_> cappe: the -G option is no more invalid on latest ssh verisons.
[14:07] <cappe> well I have updated my system recently
[14:07] <k1l_> cappe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/ssh.1.html
[14:08] <k1l_> see: there is a -G option added. so its official. so please start reading the page i linked you already it tells exactly how to look for other details.
[14:11] <cappe> This is ALSO an indication: cappe@silver:~$ ipcs -m|grep 666 which gives me this information: 0x3c81b7f5 262147     cappe      666        4096       0  <-- Why does it tell 666 if I'm not infected?
[14:11] <jamis-lapt> sounds like paranoia to me. rkhunnter's output is always relatively cryptic because it can't know every configuration. However, I agree: If you think (for some reason paranoia or otherwise) that your system is compromised, wipe the drives and reinstall. Or, at least, don't use that machine for private/secure communications in the future.
[14:11] <jamis-lapt> troll. That's permissions.
[14:12] <jamis-lapt> The header of ipcs:
[14:12] <jamis-lapt> ------ Shared Memory Segments --------
[14:12] <jamis-lapt> key        shmid      owner      perms      bytes      nattch     status
[14:13] <cappe> ... A check from an antivirus company tells about Ebury having this information which should not be like this
[14:13] <rahtgaz> cappe: don't ever run /dev/urundum
[14:14] <k1l_> cappe: please read more carefully. you only run the commands and dont even know what you are looking for.
[14:14] <cappe> look here, in the middle of the page https://www.cert-bund.de/ebury-faq
[14:14] <cappe> well, type # ssh -G k1l_ and tell me your result
[14:15] <k1l_> cappe: i already told you why ssh -G is not the way to look at it
[14:15] <cappe> yes it is, it's one indication
[14:15] <cappe> prolly the one which matters the most
[14:15] <k1l_> cappe: no!
[14:15] <k1l_> cappe: no!
[14:15] <cappe> tell me your result
[14:16] <k1l_> cappe: i did proof that ssh was added a -G option on new ssh versions. and since 2014 when ebury was a thing that -G was added.
[14:16] <\9> cappe: the page you linked highlights the bytes field as well as the perms. the bytes in your match is just 4096, when the document says that "the malicious segments have a size of at least 3 megabytes"
[14:16] <k1l_> so stop making a drama and not reading the answers and proof people give you
 cappe: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/ssh.1.html
[14:17] <k1l_> come back when you have look into that manpage and then
[14:17] <k1l_> an then apologize for not reading the answers volunteers give you.

[14:18] <R13ose> k1l_: I can't upgrade?
[14:19] <k1l_> R13ose: well, you will need a 3rd party repo or package to use a different version.

[14:23] <cappe> so its a false-positive? even when ssh doesn't work as it should?
[14:23] <k1l_> cappe: why does ssh not work as it should?
[14:23] <cappe> I've pasted that already
[14:24] <\9> the -G thing? your ssh simply is too old to have it
[14:24] <levtim> R13ose, https://filezilla-project.org/ They have a package for Debian-based distros
[14:24] <cappe> well I have the latest version
[14:24] <\9> as you have been said countless times already
[14:24] <\9> are you sure? post your ssh -V
[14:24] <k1l_> cappe: last time now: -G is a valid option.
[14:24] <k1l_> which part of "ssh -G is a valid option now, but was not in 2014" dont you understand?

[14:26] <R13ose> levtim: yep I know about that.
[14:26] <k1l_> cappe: your ssh is not compromised.
[14:27] <k1l_> cappe: but since we explained it in detail 10 times now and you dont belive us. please stop asking since this is running in circles now for 2 days.
[14:28] <cappe> chkrootkit tells me, ssh tells me, and the 666 in the ipcl -m tells me about a 666-permission?
[14:28] <akik> i'm on xenial too and don't have ssh -G even though the man page shows it
[14:28] <cappe> fine, I guess I'm left to the wolves
[14:28] <\9> we rebutted all your points and you say you're "left to the wolves"?
[14:29] <k1l_> akik: it doesnt bring up "invalid option" like the oneliner back in 2014 said it would bring up on a clean system. that is the point
[14:29] <\9> ah, right, that indeed has changed
[14:29] <\9> ssh 5.3 shows illegal option while 6.9 doesn't
[14:29] <k1l_> akik: because -G was added in late 2014 as a fix for ssh for another issue. but he is using a howto from beginning of 2014
[14:29] <cappe> tell me these then : ssh -V | ssh -G

[14:31] <cappe> oki. so I'm clean hopefully, I pardon. yet it's a bit spooky
[14:31] <\9> and your '666' thing is next to a size display of 4 kilobytes, while your document says it should be 3 megabytes
[14:31] <akik> oh ok i needed to add a hostname@server to the ssh -G command
[14:31] <cappe> do not

[14:34] <lerner> is a segfault something I have to report on launchpad? a bug?
[14:34] <k1l_> lerner: yes
[14:35] <cappe> what about this: cappe@silver:~$ ssh -asdflasdf replies unknown option -- d
[14:36] <cappe> And I'm being a troll>?
[14:36] <AnthonyMalczanek> lerner, it worked prefect for me. I'm not sure why your experience is different. Do you have any information about the crashes?
[14:37] <ash_workz> is there a way to minimize all windows in a particular application?
[14:37] <k1l_> cappe: open: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/ssh.1.html  do you find a option "-d"?   do you find a option "-G"?
[14:37] <lerner> AnthonyMalczanek, https://paste.ubuntu.com/17325518/
[14:37] <ash_workz> (ie all firefox windows || all gimp windows || etc...)
[14:38] <cappe> k1l_, that's the point the -d wasn't the flag I issued I issued a bogus flag like # ssh -aasdffasdkl
[14:38] <k1l_> cappe: no. read the manpage first!
[14:38] <cappe> but it replied with unknown option -- d
[14:38] <cappe> u
[14:38] <cappe> (without the u)
[14:38] <k1l_> cappe: read it, answer me. else you proof you are just trolling

[14:41] <cappe_> that wasn't nice

[14:43] <ash_workz> k1l_: "we have now wasted 2 days explaining to you in great detail what is going on."
[14:43] <comradepashka> hi gus. would it be correct if I ask here few questions about postfix+courier ? I've stucks a little bit with virtual boxes and user maildirs
[14:44] <lyze> !ask | comradepashka
[14:45] <ash_workz> k1l_: I don't really care; I just thought the grammar was off enough that you might appreciate a correction. :)
[14:46] <ash_workz> anyone have an answer to my question?
[14:48] <comradepashka> well. I've setted up postfix and configure it to use virtual_mailbox, but I also have courier running and I want users to get mail via web-mail (I stopped my choice on roundcube) that use IMAP, so I have to configure correctly my courier. but I am not sure should it be same as virtual boxes for postfix?
[14:50] <ioria> comradepashka, not used to courier but for postfix i used this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto#Create_a_virtual_Mailbox_owner
[14:51] <comradepashka> 10x I'll check it

[14:58] <linkleonard> hello, is the location of a core dump determined by the kernel, or is it application-specific?
[14:59] <linkleonard> i'm having trouble finding the core dump output file for a phantomjs process I'm running
[15:01] <frib> ioria: I tried to fix grub via that link you sent me, with chroot, but it didn't work :(
[15:02] <frib> i'm still getting GPT partition without BIOS boot something or other
[15:02] <frib> but this time confirmed existence of /sys/firmware/efi (I am in ubuntu 16.0 persistent usb)
[15:03] <ioria> frib, and when you boot in efi mode, you get the the grub shell ?
[15:03] <frib> tried boot-repair and it is currently hanging at Purge kernels then reinstall last kernel sda3 for about 30 min now
[15:03] <cappe_> --> is this correct?? (last time I will ask you anything about this)...I'd like a comparison with your md5sum of the file...
[15:03] <cappe_> cappe@silver:~$ md5sum /usr/bin/ssh
[15:03] <cappe_> aa2b9fa63ec08e1b0d914bb21a73bf98  /usr/bin/ssh
[15:03] <frib> ioria: if I try to boot in efi mode directly into my main ubuntu installation I get grub cli
[15:03] <frib> ioria: I don't know how efi works though, maybe I Could select a specific efi file to boot the OS and skip grub ?
[15:05] <ioria> frib,  the files are grubx64.efi and shimx64.efi for secure boot ...
[15:05] <ioria> frib,  but  i'd boot again from live
[15:05] <frib> ioria: i am in live right now
[15:05] <ioria> frib,  you mounted your / under /mnt ?
[15:06] <frib> ioria: yes and then boot partition under /mnt/boot as it said
[15:06] <frib> then /dev, /dev/pts and the rest
[15:06] <frib> when i tried to run grub-install is when things went wrong
[15:06] <ioria> frib,  try sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/boot/efi    not just /mnt/boot
[15:07] <frib> for the boot partition?
[15:07] <frib> yea i think the error had something to do with an efi folder
[15:07] <ash_workz> k1l_: may I ask what country you're from?
[15:07] <cappe_> also I happened to notice that my --> cappe@silver$ last crash <-- was empty (which was when I got infected) --- someone is trying to remove the evidence of hacking me.
[15:07] <frib> ioria: right now boot-repair is still hanging on trying to replace kernels though ... shoudl I kill it?
[15:08] <ioria> frib,  never used that, sorry idk
[15:09] <ioria> frib brb
[15:11] <dbz2k> is it possible to firefox beta and stable together?
[15:12] <shyyyyy> what can i do when i try to update my computer in linux ubuntu 15.04
[15:12] <shyyyyy> i see : failed to start load kernel modules
[15:15] <shyyyyy> ho
[15:17] <k1l_> shyyyyy: 15.04 is dead already. you need to upgrade to 15.10 at least
[15:19] <ioria> frib how you doing ?
[15:20] <shyyyyy> k1l : Did I can do on the GUB
[15:26] <caspie> =/
[15:26] <caspie> your mean
[15:34] <k1l_> shyyyyy: ? can you boot to ubuntu?
[15:35] <shyyyyy> yep
[15:36] <k1l_> shyyyyy: then run the update-manager there. it should prompt you for the upgrade to 15.10
[15:37] <frib> ioria: this time I Was able to install grub-efi-amd64 in chroot on my main partition, but the PC still doesn't go to it by default and now when I Select my ubuntu partition from the "boot from efi file" option it just restarts the pc and goes to UEFI options.
[15:37] <frib> i think it was  kernel panic, but maybe not
[15:39] <ioria> frib  did you run grub-install /dev/sda in charoot without errors ?
[15:40] <frib> ioria: i ran apt-get install --reinstall grub-efi-amd64, as described in the link
[15:41] <frib> ioria: i can try your command too
[15:41] <ioria> frib  are you on live right now ?
[15:42] <_AxS_> frib: that --reinstall installs grub from the package into the filesystem, but doesn't necessarily set it up into the bootloader the way 'grub-install' does (assumption, i'm not an ubuntu user)
[15:42] <frib> ioria: yea
[15:43] <frib> ioria: still in chroot too i think
[15:43] <ioria> frib  let me see if Eric^^ is on ...   Eric^^ ???
[15:43] <vincent_LP>  Does anyone familiar with pthread? I'm confused by a tutorial question, and finally I found it originally comes from here: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/samples/condvar.c
[15:44] <vincent_LP> In the source code, the statement "count += 125;" is quite strange to me...
[15:44] <frib> ioria: ok i did grub-install /dev/sda no errors, for x86-64 efi platform
[15:44] <ampburner> hi guys, am having issues with ./configure. I get (bash: ./configure: No file) http://pastebin.com/Am42SvDC
[15:44] <frib> but update grub doesn't seem to find any OS's
[15:44] <nacc> vincent_LP: maybe better asked in a programming channel
[15:45] <ioria> frib  did you install windows in bios mode, for any chance ?
[15:45] <vincent_LP> nacc: ah, okay you are right.
[15:45] <nacc> vincent_LP: does seem like a typo though :-P
[15:46] <vincent_LP> nacc: thanks for your correction, my bad English
[15:47] <frib> ioria: i'm like 99% sure I didn't
[15:47] <nacc> vincent_LP: nothing bad about it :)
[15:47] <frib> as I said, on several attempts it wouldn't let me install precisely because the disk is GPT partitioned
[15:47] <frib> finally when I made  "UEFI usb" with a windows program called "rufus" it finally let me install WIn7, no complaining about GPT so I assume it was EFI -- there is other evidence too
[15:47] <ioria> frib  can you put sudo update-grun in a pastebinit ?
[15:48] <frib> ioria: sure
[15:48] <frib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17327866/
[15:49] <ioria> frib  it's all ?
[15:49] <frib> ioria: same thing i said
[15:49] <hggdh> ampburner: the error is clear: there is no ./configure, or it is not eXecutable. If you downloaded source code from somewhere, it may be you need to do something else before trying to configure and make. There should be a file explaining what to do
[15:49] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: count += 125 means increment 125 to count.
[15:49] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: ie its the same as count = count + 125
[15:50] <frib> ioria: when I did update-grub on my legacy ubuntu usb it detected the ubuntu installation and the windows 7 too, some how this update-grub for efi doesn't detct anything
[15:50] <vincent_LP> _AxS_: hi, yes, you are right, but I want to know why it is necessary here?
[15:50] <_AxS_> ampburner: run autoreconf --force --install  and then you should get a ./configure generated
[15:50] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: it's necessary because that worker thread's job is to increase count.
[15:51] <ioria> frib  when you install win after ubu, win overwrites the mbr and put in it it's booloader
[15:51] <ioria> its
[15:51] <frib> ioria: yeah that much I know
[15:51] <frib> ioria: but the MBR is still not overwritten by ubuntu after all i've done
[15:52] <ioria> frib you can try again, exit from chroot and reboot
[15:52] <frib> ioria: ok
[15:52] <frib> brb
[15:53] <vincent_LP> _AxS_: the statement is in watcher thread, why the watcher needs to increase 125, what's the meaning?
[15:53] <cesdo> Hi all. Anybody bought Fluendo DVD Player?
[15:54] <ioria2> frib, _
[15:55] <BetaSoul> Okay, Hi Guys. Got a likely easy one. Trying to get  Centrino Wireless-N 2230 working under server.
[15:55] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> something is wrong with dd on ubuntu, for example whenever I press the tab button it removes the if or of operands!
[15:56] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: likely just because that way if there's any issue with the incrementing thread, -something- will cause count to increment and prevent an infinite loop.
[15:56] <cesdo> Yesterday I tried to play DVD's with VLC. 75% stopped in the middle. Maybe Fluendo works better)
[15:56] <rat0r> CPU(s)~2 Single core Intel Xeon CPU E5-2630L 0s (-HT-SMP-) clocked at 2000.074 Mhz Kernel~2.6.32-openvz-042stab113.17-amd64 x86_64 Up~32 days Mem~246.2/512.0MB HDD~NA(-) Procs~31 Client~Irssi 0.8.15 inxi~1.9.17
[15:56] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> is this distro specific changes or what?
[15:56] <_AxS_> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: that would be your shell, not 'dd'
[15:57] <BetaSoul> No love?
[15:57] <_AxS_> LJHSLDJHSDLJH:  i had a similar issue with systemrescuecd yesterday, actually..  didn't spend any time figuring it out though.
[15:57] <frib_> ioria: back, no luck, also windows 7 is broken (crashes during boot) but I Don't care! :)
[15:57] <frib_> ioria: I'm almost at the point of backing up my data and just reinstalling everything from scratch
[15:58] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: what's lspci report it as?
[15:58] <ioria> frib_, we try again ... sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[15:58] <BetaSoul> _AxS_,  Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 2230 (rev c4)
[15:58] <EriC^^> ioria: hi
[15:59] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: lspci -k , does that show a kernel module being used with it?
[15:59] <ioria> Eric^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[15:59] <vincent_LP> _AxS_: emm, yes I got the same answer from my teacher, but I still can't figure out what kind of issues could happen, and how the statement could resolve the issue...
[15:59] <EriC^^> ioria: what's the problem? my scrollback doesn't go back that far..
[15:59] <BetaSoul> _AxS_, Kernel modules: iwlwifi
[15:59] <brunch875> Hello, I've enabled dash online search but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Is it broken? Is there a way to enable it manually?
[15:59] <ioria> Eric^^   can you assist frib_ , grub issue .... after installing win7 http://paste.ubuntu.com/17323366/
[15:59] <spodermen_sweg> Hi bros
[16:00] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: ok good.  if you chech dmesg are there any errors related to iwlwifi?
[16:00] <nacc> BetaSoul: dmesg | pastebinit (or examine yourself if you know how)
[16:00] <EriC^^> frib_: you installed windows after ubuntu?
[16:00] <frib_> EriC^^: i tried to install windows 7 after ubuntu (was obligated in order to flash my phone) and i believe they are both "EFI" installations but after installing win7 ubuntu would not boot by default
[16:00] <_AxS_> dmesg |grep -C 5 -i iwlwifi |pastebinit   ...would be my suggestion, just to keep things relevant
[16:00] <nacc> _AxS_: fair point :)
[16:01] <younder> frib UEFI is needed
[16:01] <frib_> for a while there I Was able to boot it via an old ubuntu usb on which i ran update-grub and it detected both oses and i got back into my ubuntu 14.04 from there
[16:01] <vincent_LP> _AxS_: if count+=125 is executed, that means count must be greater than COUNT_LIMIT
[16:01] <BetaSoul> _AxS_, Pastebin it all it just grepped iwlwifi?
[16:01] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: which is the point.  this allows the thread to stop doing things and likely exit the program
[16:01] <EriC^^> frib_: and now?
[16:02] <spodermen_sweg> Beginning of last year I started my expedition to linuxland with ubuntu 14.04; it was good but when I tried manjaro it looked kinda weak in retrospect; is 16.04 much better?
[16:02] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: whichever, we'll sift through anything extra if you paste it all
[16:02] <BetaSoul> _AxS_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328412/
[16:02] <frib_> EriC^^: now I tried re-installing grub via this Live ubuntu 16 (which i'm on right now)
[16:02] <ubuntu-mate_> USB-Live, would it wise to Disconnect 2 of my HDDs? (while unmounted)
[16:02] <frib_> but when pc boots up screen seems to flash , i can't really tell, then i get brough back to my UEFI options menu (which i've never even seen before), if i choose to continue boot, windows 7 attempts to boot
[16:03] <EriC^^> frib_: ok, type sudo apt install pastebinit
[16:03] <nacc> BetaSoul: `iwconfig wlp4s0 | pastebinit`
[16:03] <spodermen_sweg> Oh and which DE/ variant is the most functional/best supported/coolest/BOSSest?
[16:03] <frib_> if i choose "boot from efi file" and choose ubuntu, it does what i just said and brings to uefi options
[16:03] <nacc> spodermen_sweg: #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:03] <EriC^^> frib_: then (ls /sys/firmware/efi; mount) | pastebinit
[16:03] <reisio> spodermen_sweg: how'd it look weak?
[16:03] <BetaSoul> nacc, No device found
[16:03] <frib_> EriC^^: i have pastebinit installed
[16:03] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: hmm..  so it's loaded but i don't see anything at all about firmware.  I would've expect to see a firmware version reported.  oh well let's assume it works.
[16:04] <nacc> _AxS_: [    3.061847] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 op_mode iwldvm
[16:04] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: what are you using to try and manage youw wifi connection(s)?
[16:04] <_AxS_> nacc: thanks i totally missed that
[16:04] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328490/
[16:04] <Giora> Is there a way to blacklist ips by range via /etc/hosts?
[16:04] <BetaSoul> Tried straight up iwlwifi. got a better CTL tool?
[16:05] <_AxS_> Giora: /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} you mean?
[16:05] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: iwlwifi has a control/setup tool?
[16:05] <BetaSoul> _AxS_, Thought it did.
[16:05] <Giora> _AxS_: Actually I have no idea I was just assuming that it might be possible to be done via /etc/hosts file
[16:05] <EriC^^> frib_: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[16:06] <frib_> EriC^^:  ok
[16:06] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: ...ok someone else needs to help here as i'm not an ubuntu user, but, the bits you need are 'wpa_supplicant' to handle the actual authentication, and then a front-end for it.
[16:06] <EriC^^> frib_: for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done
[16:06] <ampburner> hi guys, am having issues with ./configure. I get (bash: ./configure: No file) http://pastebin.com/Am42SvDC
[16:06] <spodermen_sweg> reisio: I dunno it just didn't feel as much fun or look as good as manjaro... it was also a lot slower, but I upgraded since then so speed wont really be an issue
[16:06] <_AxS_> ampburner: did you follow my advice?
[16:06] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> is it possible to run bootable ubuntu iso or usb within a running ubuntu to install os on external hdd?
[16:07] <frib_> EriC^^: done
[16:07] <EriC^^> frib_: sudo chroot /mnt
[16:07] <spodermen_sweg> Also, I hardly used the terminal with ubuntu but with manjaro I used it daily
[16:07] <BetaSoul> Okay, new Question then: Settting up wifi over terminal.
[16:07] <ZeekHuge> Hi ! so I have a laptop T430 by lenovo, the lshw is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328499/      . Now i have connected external monitor S2216H Dell through a VGA port . Now the monitor remains unrecognised and at lower resolution. Anyhow I am using it. Now it works nice for an hour or so, but then after it automatically gets disconnected and then gets connected automatically, it repeats, sometimes in just a few seconds sometime
[16:07] <ZeekHuge> s in hours. The monitor is working fine with other laptops . One thing that i noticed is, in my xorg  logs, the framebuffer also gets decreased as the screen gets disconnected, though i am not able to understand if its the stimulus or reaction. A side note I used xrandr to get at higher resolution ie 1600x900 . but the problem exists in lower reso also.
[16:08] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> what do you call the installation application of ubuntu?
[16:08] <frib_> EriC^^: im there
[16:08] <EriC^^> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: you might be able to boot the iso using grub and install, another way is using virtualbox to boot it and install to the ext hdd (might not work though)
[16:08] <EriC^^> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: ubiquity
[16:08] <EriC^^> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
[16:08] <EriC^^> frib_: mount -a
[16:08] <frib_> EriC^^: it's hanging
[16:08] <reisio> spodermen_sweg: think it uses Xfce by default, which would be snappier than Unity/GNOME
[16:09] <nacc> BetaSoul: i'd expect nmcli would do it (network manager cli)
[16:09] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: ' iw ' is the tool you will use for base level stuff -- iw dev wlp4s0 scan    will give you the AP's nearby
[16:09] <EriC^^> frib_: ctrl+c, cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit
[16:09] <BetaSoul> Yeah, got it working now.
[16:09] <_AxS_> BetaSoul: nmcli (or NetworkManager in general) will definitely work.  use that
[16:09] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328798/
[16:09] <EriC^^> frib_: open another terminal and type (sudo blkid; cat /mnt/etc/fstab) | pastebinit
[16:09] <_AxS_> messing with iw + wpa_upplicant directly is not fun.  doable but not fun
[16:10] <LJHSLDJHSDLJH> thanks EriC^^
[16:10] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328825/ (last one)
[16:10] <EriC^^> LJHSLDJHSDLJH: no problem
[16:10] <ZeekHuge> Any help on my problem please ?
[16:11] <EriC^^> frib_: ok, in the chroot type mount /boot/efi
[16:11] <frib_> EriC^^: done
[16:11] <WattisLove> Hi. If I install a deb package+dependencies with dpkg -i, should I be able to uninstall it with dpkg -r afterwards?
[16:11] <EriC^^> frib_: grub-install && update-grub
[16:12] <thebytepact> ZeekHuge: whats the problem u need solving?
[16:12] <frib_> EriC^^: ooh this time it found windows
[16:12] <frib_> EriC^^: but i dont think it found ubuntu
[16:12] <EriC^^> frib_: did it mention vmlinuz?
[16:12] <frib_> EriC^^: no, exactly
[16:13] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328952/
[16:13] <ZeekHuge> thebytepact: That disconnecting thing ! Why its getting disconnected and connected again ? thats disturbing all my setup and is very irritating !
[16:13] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: that laptop has dual intel+nvidia gpu's right?  which one are you using?
[16:13] <frib_> oh EriC^^ I Was using boot-repair and it was replacing the kernels for 30 min
[16:13] <spodermen_sweg> Why did default manjaro Xfce look so much better than Xubuntu tho damn
[16:13] <frib_> EriC^^: pretty sure it was broken
[16:13] <frib_> so I had to kill it, it wasn't pretty
[16:13] <nacc> WattisLove: probably; but you might want to use apt after the -i (apt-get -f install to pick up deps; apt-get remove ... etc)
[16:13] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: right . I am using intel integreated into it
[16:14] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: ok.  is there anything that might relate to this off-triggering in terms of say, power management?  laptop going to sleep, or turning off the displays, or anything?
[16:14] <BetaSoul> Got the card up, sweet.
[16:14] <EriC^^> frib_: (ls -l /boot; dpkg -l linux-image*) | pastebinit
[16:14] <WattisLove> nacc, so even if I install the pkg along with deps with dpkg I should run apt-get -f anyway?
[16:15] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17329035/
[16:15] <nacc> WattisLove: no, you don't need to, although in case you missed some deps ... can be useful
[16:15] <nacc> WattisLove: i'm saying dpkg is a low-level interface these days; you shouldn't need to use it direclty; and if you do, make sure you know what you're doing.
[16:15] <EriC^^> frib_: wow, the kernels are missing
[16:15] <EriC^^> frib_: apt-get install --reinstall linux-generic
[16:15] <frib_> EriC^^: yeah repair-boot messed up
[16:15] <_AxS_> is dpkg below or above apt-get ?
[16:15] <reisio> below
[16:16] <_AxS_> Oh, good to know.  thought it was the other way around
[16:16] <WattisLove> Well, the pkg I talk about is libreoffice which comes with its full set of deps. I only use dpkg when I can't use apt or gdebi
[16:16] <reisio> _AxS_: 's'worth knowin'
[16:16] <_AxS_> 'fo shizzle'
[16:16] <WattisLove> e.g. I wish it was possible to install several debs in a directory with gdebi
[16:16] <frib_> EriC^^: done
[16:16] <nacc> WattisLove: why can't you use apt?
[16:16] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_:  nope. Nothing that i could notice. Everything seems to be normal and then it just start. As as side note , i am using VGA and I tried getting nvidia drivers using additional drivers but thats causing black screen so i just removes everything (apt-get purge nvidia* )
[16:16] <frib_> EriC^^: update-grub?
[16:17] <nacc> WattisLove: or do you mean you're installing a libreoffice not in the archives?
[16:17] <WattisLove> nacc, because I'm installing an older version, and since I'm on Ubuntu 16, there are no older versions available from apt
[16:17] <EriC^^> frib_: (dpkg -l linux-*) | pastebinit
[16:17] <nacc> WattisLove: ah.
[16:17] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328499/
[16:17] <nacc> WattisLove: yeah, then you can't use apt to fix the install either (unless you also pin), as apt will try to upgrade
[16:17] <EriC^^> frib_: sure
[16:17] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: Does the T430 have a "proper" optimus steup?  ie, can you set 'integrated' 'discrete' 'optimus' modes in the bios?
[16:18] <WattisLove> what's "pin"? I've heard that several times now and haven't got idea what it could mean
[16:18] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: yes there is . I dont remember what it is set to though.
[16:18] <frib_> EriC^^: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17329193/
[16:18] <nacc> WattisLove: it means you tell apt via preferences to keep a specific version of a package
[16:18] <frib_> EriC^^: ok it added the linux options to grub
[16:18] <WattisLove> so that when upgrading it keeps the version nacc ?
[16:18] <nacc> WattisLove: it should, yeah
[16:19] <frib_> EriC^^: should i try to boot it?
[16:19] <EriC^^> frib_: ok, everything looks good, type exit and try rebooting
[16:19] <nacc> WattisLove: see `man apt_preferences`, iirc
[16:19] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: ok.  so, fyi, in lenovo's brilliance they likely have the intel only connceted to VGA and the nvidia only connected to the DisplayPort.
[16:19] <frib_> EriC^^: k brb
[16:19] <nacc> WattisLove: there is also `apt-mark hold/unhold`
[16:19] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: so that's why it didn't work with nvidia.  you *might* get nvidia to drive everything if you set the bios to 'discrete' mode and use nvidia-drivers.
[16:19] <_AxS_> ..but then you'll drain battery 4x faster.
[16:19] <robotti^> don't buy hardware with nvidia:)
[16:20] <WattisLove> "hold/unhold" isn't related to "hold back" in man apt-get, right?
[16:20] <nacc> WattisLove: it's related to --ignore-hold
[16:20] <frib> EriC^^, thanks so much :)
[16:20] <robotti^> I just buy gpu from intel or amd
[16:20] <EriC^^> frib: no problem :)
[16:20] <frib> you're like a genius
[16:21] <ioria> !cookie | EriC^^
[16:21] <nacc> WattisLove: a hold is like a pin, but without having to muck with the preferences file. It's more transitional, ime
[16:21] <frib> lol
[16:21] <EriC^^> yum
[16:21] <frib> and that was fast help too haha
[16:22] <nacc> WattisLove: i'd recommend reading `man apt_preferences` in particular "APT's Default Priority Assignments" and related sections
[16:22] <ioria> frib, maybe you killed  boot-repair  too fast ...
[16:22] <WattisLove> I guess it also affects the updater window, right?
[16:22] <nacc> WattisLove: pinning? it should affect anything that is using apt
[16:22] <ioria> frib, while kernel updating
[16:22] <WattisLove> nacc, very intersting info, thank you
[16:23] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: unfortunately I can't provide any advice as to how to fix the issue with intel + VGA-out, except to say that you want to enable as much debug output as possible, especially on the kernel modules.  take a look in /sys/module/i915/parameters and see what you can play with for enabling debug output
[16:23] <nacc> WattisLove: i'm assuming most package layers do, on top
[16:24] <frib> ioria, i think actually apt-get was broken and that caused boot-repair to hang for like 30 min because when I tried to run apt-get outside of chroot for anything it failed
[16:24] <frib> and told me AptCache stream something or other
[16:24] <frib> but it doesn't take 30 min to replace kernel files
[16:24] <ioria> frib, ok, did you free some space on root ?
[16:25] <frib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/17329486/ :)
[16:25] <ioria> frib, you were 99%, iirc
[16:25] <ioria> frib,  89 % mmmm
[16:26] <frib> ioria, i have a 220gb partition with 2 Virtual machines that take up like 70 g
[16:26] <ioria> frib,  maybe a little more, but ...
[16:26] <frib> what i need is a 500gb ssd
[16:26] <ioria> frib,  me too :p
[16:27] <frib> ioria, this dumb hp laptop doesn't even have a slot for a 2nd harddrive
[16:27] <ioria> frib,  external ?
[16:27] <brunch875> Hello! I apt-got unity-scope-soundcloud and it broke unity
[16:27] <brunch875> now I have to launch stuff from terminals
[16:27] <frib> ioria, have but inconvenient.
[16:27] <ioria> frib,  i see
[16:27] <brunch875> anyone knows what I can do other than reinstalling ubuntu?
[16:28] <brunch875> like... reinstalling unity?
[16:28] <clueful> I just bought a brand new machine for doing some machine learning tasks, and realize I may be a bit too far on the bleeding edge...I can't seem to get the installer to work because the nouveau driver says unknown chipset for my 1080gtx's
[16:29] <frib> brunch875, funny that's what I was going to suggest
[16:29] <brunch875> yeah but I don't know how to do that
[16:29] <brunch875> how do I do that?
[16:29] <genii> brunch875: You could try: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[16:29] <clueful> is it possible to to use these cards with ubuntu (I'm fine with proprietary drivers so long as I can get them installed)
[16:29] <frib> did yo utry to uninstall unity-scope-soundcloud?
[16:29] <brunch875> thanks :)
[16:29] <brunch875> yeah, I uninstalled it but it's still broken
[16:30] <_AxS_> brunch875: once you identify what specific package(s) 'it' is, you can install --reinstall them and you should be back in business.
[16:30] <genii> brunch875: Also when this happens, when you remove the problemmatic package, should use the purge and not just uninstall
[16:31] <brunch875> yeah I purged it
[16:31] <brunch875> well, gonna reboot now. See you in a lil while
[16:31] <psprint> How to disable samba on 14.04?
[16:31] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: yes so what do you think the problem is ?
[16:32] <brunch875> well, it seems like the desktop broke for good
[16:33] <brunch875> I guess this calls for a clean install :s
[16:34] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: no idea, some random signal of some sort triggerint i915 to do something erroneously, is as much as I can guess.  the only thing i can suggest that might mitigate this is to try and force the resolution you want all the time in your DE's applet (if it has one) so that you don't have to reset it later.
[16:35] <ampburner> autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required
[16:35] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: fyi, i have had issues like this from bad cable and/or DSUB connections.
[16:35] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: line 118 in http://paste.ubuntu.com/17328499/ . Whats that ? it has vga_palette in there ..
[16:36] <clueful> Is there any way to install ubuntu with a proprietary gfx driver right from the beginning, the autodetected noveau driver seems to just crash
[16:38] <rishi_> hello frn
[16:39] <therealtbe> hello is there any way that I can prevent processes from being launched?   I only want to run one specific process.   Like a kiosk.
[16:39] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: don't know.  is your nvidia at pci:0000:01 ?  there doesn't seem to be an entry for that anywhere else i see
[16:39] <_AxS_> therealtbe: there are so many ways to do this it's not funny.  you'll need to be more specific as to your application.
[16:40] <therealtbe> _AxS_:  okay tell me 1 or 2 ways
[16:40] <_AxS_> therealtbe: what is the application?  Xorg based?
[16:40] <therealtbe> _AxS_: QT
[16:40] <_AxS_> therealtbe: ...but running through Xorg right?
[16:41] <therealtbe> _AxS_:  sure?  I am not sure what the alternative would be
[16:41] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17330252/ .   Also, if it is a cable issue .. why is it working for even an hour ? ?
[16:41] <_AxS_> therealtbe: qt can write directly to framebuffers iirc, or use wayland, or a couple of other arm-specific things.. Xorg is easiest for this tho.
[16:41] <therealtbe> _AxS_:  okay let's go with Xorg then
[16:42] <vincent_LP> _AxS_: thank you, I found an explanation here, he thought "count+=125" is useless, maybe I should accept this answer... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23953849/how-does-this-pthread-cond-wait-example-work/23954012#23954012
[16:42] <_AxS_> therealtbe: ok -- shut down your Xorg, log in at the console, and then run  /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/[your-application]     ..does that do what you want?  if so, make a .desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions/ for it, and make lightdm or whatever load that
[16:43] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: its only useless if everything works properly.  if the incrementing thread doesn't work then that count+=125 means the app will exit instead of needing to be killed, i think.
[16:44] <therealtbe> _AxS_:  and how would this prevent users from running other processes?
[16:44] <nacc> _AxS_: vincent_LP i think it could be many values other than 125; i think that's the confusing part
[16:44] <nacc> vincent_LP: constants should have well-defined names rather than being hardcoded like that; and have a comment :)
[16:44] <nacc> s/and have/or hav/
[16:45] <_AxS_> therealtbe: because the -only thing- that is running in the Xorg session is that app.  and you don't get any interface (no DE, no WM, nothing) to allow you to launch something else.
[16:45] <therealtbe> _AxS_:  okay thanks I will pursue this implementation and get back to you with further questions :)
[16:45] <_AxS_> therealtbe: good luck.
[16:47] <ZeekHuge> _AxS_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17330252/ .   Also, if it is a cable issue .. why is it working for even an hour ? ?
[16:47] <dbolser> hihi
[16:48] <dbolser> I'm working an a weird cloud environment, and I've 'attached a volume' to my ubuntu instance
[16:48] <dbolser> however, I don't know how to mount that volume
[16:48] <vincent_LP> _AxS_, nacc, I think calling count+=125 needs a condition that "count == COUNT_LIMIT". if the worker threads is killed, the watcher will still can not be awaken, is it correct...?
[16:49] <dbolser> "Attached to Ubuntu 02 on /dev/vdb"
[16:49] <dbolser> how do I go about finding what /dev/vdb is and how to mount it?
[16:50] <_AxS_> vincent_LP: why?  if count is above COUNT_LIMIT it still triggers the loop exit...
[16:50] <vincent_LP> _AxS_, nacc, *killed improperly
[16:51] <moparisthebest> where do I look for news on when 16.04.1 is supposed to come out? or maybe it already has
[16:51] <havoc_hive> i have a problem with apt-get update: malformed line 61 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (absolute dist)
[16:52] <havoc_hive> do i just purge the lines in source list with # attached to it?
[16:52] <_AxS_> ZeekHuge: the cable issue causes occasional intermittent problems.  remember this isn't digital, it's analog.  it could well be that all that's needed is for there to be just enough of a resistance increase for the hardware to trigger a re-poll of EDID from the monitor or something, and since we already know that doesn't give you the resolution you want...
[16:52] <nacc> vincent_LP: count is a mutex-protected shared global, afaict
[16:53] <nacc> vincent_LP: afaict, if you were to kill both threads runing inc_count before count hits COUNT_LIMIT, watch_count thread will be in the pthread_cond_wait() indefinitely. I think it should still be killable, but it won't cleanup properly (necessarily)
[16:53] <dancingd3mon> hey guys, I keep on getting those errors after installing rutorrent in ubuntu 14.0
[16:54] <dancingd3mon> http://prntscr.com/bg5mw7
[16:54] <dancingd3mon> I tried many solutions and none seem to work...
[16:54] <vincent_LP> _AxS_, nacc: "pthread_cond_wait(&count_threshold_cv, &count_mutex); " this can only be awaken when "count == COUNT_LIMIT", and count==COUNT_LIMIT already satisfy count>COUNT_LIMIT, then why count+=125 is necessary?
[16:54] <akik> dbolser: "sudo fdisk -l /dev/vdb" should show you its details
[16:55] <vincent_LP> _AxS_, nacc, * count>=COUNT_LIMIT
[16:55] <dbolser> thanks akik
[16:56] <dancingd3mon> anyone familiar with those kind of errors I'm seeing?
[16:56] <havoc_hive> anyone have a fix?
[16:57] <akik> havoc_hive: # lines are comments and not of concern
[16:57] <cognitiaclaeves> I'm trying to get xclip working while sshed in from a Mac ( El Capitan ). Can anyone assist? I'm not sure where it's breaking down. I am getting a result for `echo $DISPLAY` now, whereas, before I wasn't.
[16:57] <jamesd> cognitiaclaeves: i assume you are using  ssh -X  mac-host
[16:57] <vincent_LP> nacc: count+=125 cannot help in the situation that both threads runing inc_count are killed before count hits COUNT_LIMIT
[16:57] <akik> havoc_hive: if you pastebin the file it would help
[16:58] <nacc> vincent_LP: i don't know, i didn't write the code. maybe contact the authors. it seems like defensive programming, but it's also somewhat unnecessary (afaict).
[16:58] <cognitiaclaeves> jamesd: That is one way I have tried. I also defined ForwardX11 yes in .ssh/config.
[16:58] <nacc> vincent_LP: i never said it did
[16:58] <nacc> vincent_LP: infact, i specifically said it didn't...
[16:58] <dbolser> it's just a 'volume' I wonder if I need to format it
[16:58] <_AxS_> jamesd: cognitiaclaeves: sometimes 'ssh -Y' works better (instead of -X )
[16:58] <akik> dbolser: if it's a brand new ununsed disk, there are probably no partitions on it
[16:59] <vincent_LP> nacc: yes, sorry my bad English, so I'm trying to confirm that...
[16:59] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: I've also tried that, to no avail.
[16:59] <dbolser> akik: it's a weird vm 'volume' that I just attached abstractly
[16:59] <nacc> vincent_LP: also, keep in mind, these are compile-time constants, so maybe it's written that way so you can play with the values of TCOUNT and COUNT_LIMIT, etc.
[16:59] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: ahh you're on OSX.  ok.  do you have X11 started?  are you running ssh from within an X11 xterm or from the OSx console?
[16:59] <AimlessRaven> hi to evryone, how to see what is my current graphic cards driver in use now
[16:59] <havoc_hive> akik: im slightly new at this, pastebin?
[16:59] <akik> dbolser: can you pastebin the fdisk output?
[16:59] <AimlessRaven> because i have onboard card
[16:59] <AimlessRaven> and pci-e
[16:59] <akik> havoc_hive: open pastebin.com in a browser and paste the file there
[16:59] <_AxS_> AimlessRaven: lspci -k
[17:00] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: I have xquartz installed.  ( I'm running el capitan )
[17:00] <akik> havoc_hive: then you can paste its url here
[17:00] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: I tried from the osX terminal, and I tried iTerm.
[17:00] <vincent_LP> nacc: emm, good point.
[17:00] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: i haven't tried xquartz.  all I know is that in order to get it to work, i had to launch my ssh -X from an xterm that was started within the Xorg windowing environment.
[17:01] <AimlessRaven> _AxS_:   omg, i install nvidia drivers but  now in use is my onboard card .. intel graphic
[17:01] <dbolser> akik: http://pastebin.com/RLBnTN5k
[17:01] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: can you do that with xquartz? start an xtern within it?
[17:01] <AimlessRaven> why in my softuer && updates
[17:01] <AimlessRaven> i select nvidia
[17:01] <_AxS_> AimlessRaven: dual-gpu systems are a royal pain.  good luck
[17:01] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: Not sure. How do you do it from x11? :-/
[17:01] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: I imagine so, though. That's how gimp and inkscape run.
[17:01] <akik> dbolser: ok the disk /dev/vdb doesn't have any partitions on it
[17:01] <vincent_LP> nacc: here is the explanation from my teacher:   In condvar_bug.c a statement "count += 125;" is missing. Thus the "watch_count" thread may not get out of the "while" loop and then call "pthread_cond_wait(&count_threshold_cv, &count_mutex);" again.
[17:02] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: Applications->Utilities  , launch X11 , then from there you can launch an xterm directly.
[17:02] <dbolser> ic
[17:02] <akik> dbolser: you should probably also fix your /etc/hosts file to match ubuntu-02 hostname in it to some ip
[17:02] <vincent_LP> nacc: the bug program doesn't contain "count += 125;", and only this part is different
[17:03] <dbolser> orly
[17:03] <dbolser> :-)
[17:03] <dbolser> thanks akik left that there to see if you'd help me with it :-D
[17:03] <akik> dbolser: it kind of sticks me in the eye there
[17:03] <dbolser> hehe
[17:03] <dbolser> so "127.0.0.1 localhost ubuntu-02"  ?
[17:03] <vincent_LP> nacc: that's why I'm so confused, and tomorrow I will have the exam......
[17:04] <akik> dbolser: i think the default is to put it on the 127.0.1.1 line
[17:04] <dbolser> akik: yay :-)
[17:04] <cognitiaclaeves> _AxS_: There is an option for 'Terminal' when right-clicking on the xquartz icon. It appears that I can use xclip that way.
[17:04] <dbolser> following the guide for this vm...
[17:05] <dbolser> step 3, create a fs on the volume and mount it... ok
[17:05] <akik> dbolser: you have to first create a partition on it
[17:05] <dbolser> ic
[17:05] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: cool, so if you ssh from that Terminal you -should- be good to go.
[17:05] <dbolser> akik: the guide is telling me to use lvm
[17:06] <vincent_LP> nacc, _AxS_, thanks for your help. maybe I should be honestly tell my teacher his correction is unnecessary if I encounter this question tomorrow...
[17:06] <akik> dbolser: go for it. it's not a requirement though. and it's a bit complicated
[17:06] <cognitiaclaeves> That terminal is unbelievably ugly, though. I remember getting it to work before my drive was re-imaged, without needing to use xterm ...
[17:06] <cognitiaclaeves> But at least it gets me the capability without any more searching.  Thanks!
[17:06] <dbolser> akik: yeah, that's why I usually go for simple partition tables..
[17:07] <dbolser> lvm may be usefull though...
[17:07] <topirate> hey transmission is not working in my 16.04 machine
[17:08] <topirate> is there anyone else with same problem
[17:09] <ikonia> why dont you expand more han "doesn't work"
[17:10] <_AxS_> cognitiaclaeves: you can likely change the terminal's theme to make it prettier...
[17:11] <tpw_rules> i'm having a bizarre issue compiling somoclu. it's telling me there's an error in /usr/include/string.h, which I figured would be pretty well sorted. http://pastie.org/private/tqotgzm0i1uatk17w0pra is the compiler not pointed to the right something or is there truly an error?
[17:11] <topirate> ikonia, you are sayin it to me?
[17:12] <ikonia> topirate: yes
[17:12] <ikonia> tpw_rules: yes there is reeally an error
[17:12] <ikonia> no idea why you thought string.h would be "pretty well sorted"
[17:12] <_AxS_> what libc is this?
[17:12] <tpw_rules> i mean it ships with the OS and i'm not on like bleeding edge. it's whatever libc comes with 16.04LTS
[17:13] <ikonia> tpw_rules: not sure why that matters
[17:13] <tpw_rules> did nobody ever use memcpy before packaging it?
[17:13] <nacc> tpw_rules: do you mean sorted, no in the ordered sense, but in the 'not broken' sense?
[17:13] <tpw_rules> not broken
[17:13] <topirate> ah not sure if i havve met you on #lfs-support but doesn't work means it is not downloading my file and no issue with seeders
[17:13] <ikonia> tpw_rules: who said it's broken
[17:13] <tpw_rules> which makes me think something has invoked the compiler wrong vs the file itself has an error
[17:13] <_AxS_> tpw_rules: its the way it's being inlined.  i expect the issue has to do with the codebase that's using it, possibly using compiler directives or whatever that's making it not work properly
[17:14] <ikonia> tpw_rules: have you actually looked if it's declared in the header
[17:14] <nacc> tpw_rules: i'm on 16.04 and my /usr/include/string.h has no such __memcpy_inline
[17:15] <_AxS_> tpw_rules: this seems relevant: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/4046
[17:15] <tpw_rules> nacc: did you catch the extra p?
[17:16] <ioria> tpw_rules, libc6-dev  is installed ?
[17:16] <ikonia> it must be as the header is there
[17:17] <nacc> tpw_rules: argh, sorry
[17:17] <tpw_rules> yes. but _AxS_ that sounds likely
[17:17] <_AxS_> from the url i just posted, the issue seems to be in the cuda sdk rather than in the base system
[17:17] <ikonia> topirate: can it actually talk out on the ports
[17:18] <tpw_rules> _AxS_: yeah i guess i'll have to look there. thanks for finding that
[17:18] <bekks> !dualboot > bekks

[17:18] <topirate> wait a moment
[17:19] <ikonia> topirate: are you the guy who rage quite because you where out of your depth ?
[17:20] <tpw_rules> _AxS_: now we're on to a different, seemingly unrelated error, so i guess that worked?

[17:22] <dancingd3mon> hey guys, anyone familiar with installing rutorrent on ubuntu 14.04 ?
[17:22] <ikonia> dancingd3mon: just state your problem, people will help if they can
[17:23] <havoc_hive> bekks: sorry, kinda new at this, now i know. thanks
 thank you :)I keep on getting those errors when trying to run rutorrent on ubuntu 14.04 :  http://prntscr.com/bg5mw7 Anyidea what it could be ? I deleted the uistettings.json in /var/www/rutorrent/share/users/dancingdemon/settings and also checked my webserver settings which is nginx and it seemed fine..I kinda made sure permissions are fine. nginx -t seem good and no errors in the log...Can it be something with the plugins or something
[17:25] <dancingd3mon> else...?
[17:26] <linus> hello
[17:26] <ikonia> dancingd3mon: so the server is not responding to that request and it's also not allowing an outward connection (probably because it can't process the request)
[17:27] <Guest89066> hello
[17:27] <ikonia> dancingd3mon: it's certainly something to do with the code it uses to display the gui
[17:28] <Guest89066> i have installed ubuntu 14.04
[17:28] <Guest89066> i am going to install windows xp also
[17:28] <dancingd3mon> thanks you ikonia
[17:29] <Guest89066> how can i have both while i have ubuntu 14.04 installed now
[17:29] <ikonia> Guest89066: you'll just need to re-apply grub to the mbr
[17:29] <ikonia> !grub2 > Guest89066
[17:29] <ikonia> ubottu has just sent you a link on how to do it
[17:29] <ikonia> you will find it easier to install windows, then ubuntu though, but thats up to you
[17:30] <Bashing-om> ptnecniv: I am back on .. what is your status ?
[17:31] <Guest89066> i cants see grub after installing windows xp
[17:32] <feodoran> hi, since 16.04 includes the new amdgpu driver, does anyone know if it is possible to switch between iGPU (Intel) and dGPU (Radeon)?
[17:32] <bekks> Because XP overwrote it.
[17:32] <ikonia> Guest89066: read the link ubottu sent you
[17:32] <ikonia> Guest89066: it explains how to put grub back
[17:32] <bekks> Guest89066: You need to reinstall grub, as the link told you.
[17:32] <Buffman> hi there - I'm looking to build & ship our software in an ubuntu VM, as a "black box" virtual appliance. I'm wondering what is the recommended way to create a GUI to help first time setup - like network configuration, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[17:33] <ikonia> Buffman: ubuntu desktop has a gui to allow this
[17:33] <ikonia> just use that
[17:33] <ikonia> or document the process
[17:33] <ikonia> if you want to write your own gui, pick a language and toolkit you are comfortable with, and write it
[17:34] <Buffman> I was hoping for something where the end-user doesn't have to log-in to ubuntu
[17:34] <_AxS_> Buffman: or pre-configure it -- what sort of configuration do you expect end-users to need to do?  dhcp usually does fine for wired, wifi is more tricky but they'll need to change that regularly so it'll have to be available for adjustment in the appliance app too
[17:34] <ikonia> Buffman: how do you expect to configure something without logging in ?
[17:35] <Guest89066> where is ubuntu help channel ?
[17:35] <ikonia> you're in it
[17:35] <dancingd3mon> wow
[17:35] <Guest89066> i just see bot
[17:36] <dancingd3mon> so it got fixed after removing autodl.
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest89066: clearl not, as you can see me
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> Guest89066  ask you ubuntu related question here
[17:36] <MonkeyDust> your*
[17:36] <Guest89066> ikonia, you are not bot ?
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest89066: no
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest89066: other people have also spoken to you as well as ubottu the bot
[17:37] <Guest89066> ikonia, i installed ubuntu 14.04 and now i need to install windows xp
[17:37] <Buffman> _AxS_ : Thanks, I just basically need a basic config screen to toggle between DHCP/Static IP.
[17:37] <ikonia> Guest89066: yes, you said that, and I explained your problem and gave you a link explaining how to fix it
[17:37] <Guest89066> ikonia, yess
[17:38] <Guest89066> ikonia, but i dont have live cd now
[17:38] <ikonia> Guest89066: get one
[17:39] <Guest89066> ikonia, there is no solution without cd ?
[17:39] <ikonia> Guest89066: no
[17:39] <Guest89066> ikonia, i have live cd
[17:40] <Guest89066> ikonia, i have iso file
[17:40] <k1l> Guest89066: ask ##windows how to get windows on live cd or live usb.
[17:40] <Guest89066> how can i create a bootable usb ?
[17:40] <ikonia> !install | Guest89066
[17:47] <manos> hello
[17:48] <manos> anyone?
[17:48] <Bashing-om> Hellosun_: manos ; Your support question ?
[17:49] <manos> hi I have an issue. I think it's caused by Fcitx on lubuntu. I can't control Scroll Lock. The LED only lights up when I change keyboard layout. I can't seem to find the setting to stop it or maybe there's a bug. I'm very frustrated right now.
[17:50] <MonkeyDust> !find fctix

[17:58] <dorian> i have an ubuntu server which insists on using mdns to resolve hostnames. is there any way to tame it?
[18:00] <psprint> How to disable samba on 14.04?
[18:02] <akik> psprint: update-rc.d command. i've forgot the options
[18:03] <Snackerr> hello, is there a GUI for setting up OPENSSH-SERVER?
[18:03] <Snackerr> i want to share a folder, on the internet
[18:03] <Snackerr> all the GUI's i find are just for SSH clients
[18:03] <psprint> akik: thanks
[18:04] <Admin__> Snackerr, any webserver will serve a folder without an html
[18:05] <Snackerr> Admin__, What is the easiest way to share a folder from my home computer. that friends can access remotely?
[18:06] <jtc1> hi,pls... i have installed ubuntu 16.04 on acer aspire netbook, but after i choose in grub the ubuntu it only shows black screen, i had to change uefi to legacy because of secure boot but it still does not work, anyone could help me?
[18:06] <Admin__> Snackerr, cloud storage
[18:07] <bekks> !nomodeset | jtc1
[18:07] <jtc1> ok will try it, thx
 thank you, dude! I had a lot of questions, but just set and RTFM, so now I setup all I need: postfix with virtual mailboxes for few domains + courier with authmysql + roundcube getting mail by IMAP. now I am little bit more ninja! THANK YOU!
[18:08] <Snackerr> Admin__,  i'd rather have a "private cloud", i'm reading about all the options:  SSHFS, WEBDAV, SAMBA, etc
[18:08] <comradepashka_> oops, and I don't know maybe you are girl (not sure by ur nick), so sorry :)
[18:09] <ioria> comradepashka_, great ! good job
[18:09] <henry_> I don't remenber the edit pdf that recommended me
[18:09] <_AxS_> Snackerr: if you're looking for private cloud, look up 'ownCloud'
[18:09] <Snackerr> _AxS_,  i just want to share a folder.  Like Samba, but accessible from the internet.  is there a simple GUI for that?
[18:10] <_AxS_> Snackerr: depends on how you define "simple".  :)  Simple to use?  likely yes.  Simple to set up in a way that is secure'ish?  not likely
[18:10] <Snackerr> or is there anyway to make Samba accessilbe from the internet?
[18:10] <akik> Snackerr: using sshd is secure and it includes a chroot functionality with "internal-sftp"
[18:11] <Admin__> Snackerr, everything has a http server
[18:11] <_AxS_> Snackerr: yes you can make samba globally accessuble, but no you really don't want to do that.
[18:11] <akik> Snackerr: samba needs port 445
[18:12] <_AxS_> Snackerr: if you trust your friends, the easiest way to set things up so they're secure might be using openvpn to give them access.
[18:13] <comradepashka_> btw, this atricle helped me a lot: https://dannorth.net/2007/09/09/virtual-mailboxes-with-courier-imap-and-postfix/ if someone stucks - it will help, indeed!
[18:13] <Snackerr> akik, what is the diff between:   sshd & openssh-server ?
[18:14] <ikonia> Snackerr: one is the package name, one is the binary name
[18:14] <bernhard_> my grub bootloader displays nothing, but when 3 sec are over it joins me to LightDM, could you pleas help me? Thanks
[18:15] <jhonier> Hi
[18:15] <Bashing-om> !grub | bernhard_
[18:15] <archer121> I am trying to get nvidia drivers to work with a nvidia 920M on a dell laptop. From whichever source I install, the laptop gets stuck at boot. Can anyone help me with this?
[18:15] <rp2> Snackerr, type dpkg -L openssh-server and you will see sshd in there
[18:15] <jhonier> I want install a usb wireless
[18:15] <Snackerr> akik, _AxS_  i have heard that openssh-server is good, but is there a GUI that does this? :   https://www.maketecheasier.com/secure-ssh-server-ubuntu/
[18:16] <jhonier> this chat exist in spanish_
[18:16] <ikonia> Snackerr: a gui ?
[18:16] <akik> Snackerr: what do you mean gui, for what?
[18:16] <ikonia> !es | jhonier
[18:16] <_AxS_> Snackerr: no, but there *are* SFTP clients that look like gui ftp clients.
[18:17] <Snackerr> akik, ikonia , to make it easier to setup.  for Example, to setup SambaShare, you just Right-Click the folder in Nautilus--- is there something like that for openssh-server?
[18:17] <ikonia> Snackerr: what is there to setup ?
[18:17] <rp2> Snackerr, you mean a GUI for configuring the SSH server?
[18:17] <Bashing-om> archer121: Share with the channel in a pastebin the hardware we are working with - lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' - and we match a driver to the hardware .
[18:18] <ikonia> Snackerr: it's a command line client that just sits there and connects to a daemon that proxies commands into your machine
[18:18] <Snackerr> rp2,  yes, a GUI setup an SSH server: instead of this:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring
[18:18] <rp2> Snackerr, I have never seen one. I don't think it would make things much easier. at the end of the day you have to know what all the options and option values mean
[18:19] <ikonia> Snackerr: no
[18:19] <rp2> how would a GUI help?
[18:19] <ikonia> Snackerr: it's a clear text file, you edit it with a text editor
[18:19] <akik> Snackerr: i know how you feel. no setup.exe to do the work
[18:19] <Snackerr> rp2,  just like right-clicking in Nautilus helps, for SambaShares
[18:20] <rp2> sudo apt-get install openssh-server is the equivalent of setup.exe. after that it will run.
[18:20] <akik> Snackerr: but it's not hard either
[18:20] <ikonia> akik: yes there is
[18:20] <ikonia> you open the package manager and cliek install
[18:20] <ikonia> that is it
[18:20] <ikonia> click
[18:20] <akik> :) ok
[18:20] <ikonia> how is that different than clicking setup.exe
[18:20] <jhonier> where can download drivers for a usb adaptor wireless+
[18:20] <Snackerr> ikonia, i mean, a GUI to setup all the options
[18:20] <akik> ikonia: i meant the configuration which could be done through "setup.exe"
[18:21] <archer121> Bashing-om: I have a NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce 920M] [10de:1299] (rev a1)
[18:21] <_AxS_> ikonia: i think what he's talking about, and Snackerr correct me if i'm wrong, is a gui for managing the sharing of files via sftp or whatever.  So he can right-click on a file in nautilus and mark it as shareable to others.
[18:21] <ikonia> Snackerr: what options ?
[18:21] <ikonia> akik: thats nothing to do with ssh though
[18:22] <ikonia> you do'nt "share" files
[18:22] <Snackerr> http://themediahost.de/secpanel/#  i found this, but i'm not sure if it is for Clients only?
[18:22] <_AxS_> Snackerr: there aren't really options.  You install openssh , you configure it once, and everything else is user configuration and putting files in the right place.
[18:22] <akik> if you want to setup the sshd chroot, it needs some manual work
[18:22] <ikonia> Snackerr: good lord,
[18:22] <HackerII> lol.
[18:22] <ikonia> what a pointless thing
[18:23] <_AxS_> ikonia: that's what Snackerr is trying to do though, "share files" to his friends (apparently through sftp or whatever)
[18:23] <freecoder> does anyone know if virtualbox 5.0.20 (latest) works properly under kernel 4.6?
[18:23] <ikonia> _AxS_: just put them in a directory and let his friends connect
[18:23] <_AxS_> ikonia: oh, it's PuTTY but for linux.
[18:23] <Snackerr> _AxS_,  "sftp" is to transfer files , right?  but i am just looking to access a folder on my computer.  not transfer the whole file
[18:23] <ikonia> putty is available for linux
[18:23] <rp2> Snackerr, there is no such thing as sharing files in SSH
[18:24] <akik> freecoder: yes
[18:24] <k1l> Snackerr: what options do you want to setup at all? and why is it a problem to read the config file and change the few things one likes to change?
[18:24] <_AxS_> Snackerr: they can't access things in a useful manner without transferring.
[18:24] <k1l> Snackerr: and nautilus can connect to sftp out of the box.
[18:24] <freecoder> akik, thanks. because last i tried on 4.4 and the vbox kernel modules broke
[18:24] <Admin__> Snackerr, how much would you pay for it?
[18:24] <akik> freecoder: well i don't know about that
[18:25] <akik> freecoder: i'm running kernel 4.6.2 and virtualbox 5.0.20
[18:25] <freecoder> cool then
[18:27] <rp2> Snackerr, when transferring files over SSH (e.g. with scp, sftp, or rsync) what is happening is your client connects to your server with SSH as a local user. which files you can read and write is determined by the file permissions in effect for that local user. there is no separate action of making files available for sharing, hence there is no action for doing that
[18:29] <rp2> so you can't do it in a GUI, and you can't do it in any other way. to make files available just make sure they are readable to the user you connect as
[18:30] <_AxS_> Snackerr: ..to follow up with what rp2 is saying, as you are likely not going to want to give your friends credentials to access your own local user account on your computer, likely you will need to figure out some way to store the files in a multi-user-accessible way.  Probably copying to a directory everyone can access would be easiest.
[18:32] <Snackerr> thanks for the help, this is a lot for me to learn...  :)  i like simple GUI's like these   https://askubuntu.com/questions/170712/how-do-i-share-my-internal-hard-drive
[18:32] <Snackerr> i bet 20 years ago, people said a GUI for Samba like that ^ was "impossible"   :)
[18:33] <ikonia> Snackerr: no, they didn't
[18:33] <ikonia> swat has been around since samba 3 at least which is almost 20 years
[18:33] <akik> Snackerr: samba was configured in smb.conf back then too :)
[18:33] <akik> oh yea implying i'm doing it like that now
[18:34] <DArqueBishop> ikonia: well, damn, thanks for making me feel old now.
[18:35] <Bashing-om> archer121: " [GeForce 920M] " Are you sure not a 9200M series .. as I do not find 920 ?
[18:35] <akik> Bashing-om: it's correct, i have the same one
[18:35] <Snackerr> so funny :)    http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/949
[18:36] <Bashing-om> akik: Thanks .. back to look'n and matching .
[18:37] <_AxS_> Snackerr: 20 years ago they'd just have shared samba over the internet.  i mean, that's what windows 95 was doing
[18:37] <akik> some operators might block samba though
[18:38] <akik> at least ports 137,138,139. cifs seems to be able to work only on port 445
[18:39] <Admin__> why not use cloud?
[18:39] <Admin__> it's 2016
[18:41] <archer121> Bashing-om: There is a 920M under gforce 900 series.
[18:42] <Snackerr> Admin__,  you mean OwnCloud?  what other options are there?
[18:43] <Admin__> Snackerr, dropbox,gdrive, etc
[18:43] <k1l> nextcloud ;p
[18:44] <Admin__> k1l, next-who?
[18:44] <k1l> the owncloud developers and community split into 2 different projects now: owncloud and nextcloud.
[18:45] <Admin__> but odes it have a GUI? ;)
[18:46] <akik> onhan se ihan tyhmää pitää oikeuksistaan kii
[18:46] <akik> sorry :)
[18:46] <Myrtti> akik: :-P
[18:47] <bmcfee> can someone help me figure out why my headphone jack plug detection no longer works after upgrading to 16.10? lenovo x1 carbon; nothing useful/recent coming up after googling/browsing forums
[18:47] <k1l> bmcfee: 16.10 is still in development. better ask in #ubuntu+1 and file bugs
[18:48] <bmcfee> sorry, i meant 16.04
[18:48] <bmcfee> (brainfart while still browsing forums in another tab :P)
[18:50] <_AxS_> bmcfee: i would guess kernel related issues, in collaboration with pulseaudio
[18:50] <Bashing-om> archer121: Yeah .. found it .. and that is a new card .. as Nvidia recommends the 367 version driver . That driver is only available to us in our trusted repo .. and only for release 16.04/16.10 / What release are you running ?
[18:51] <bmcfee> _AxS_: well yes, but any hints on how to start debugging specifically would be appreciated
[18:53] <_AxS_> bmcfee: that I can't help with much...  is alsamixer a standard tool in ubuntu?  maybe try that and see if headphone output is even available/controllable
[18:53] <bmcfee> _AxS_: yes, it is available, yes it's controllable, but no sound comes out because it's always detecting "unplugged" (in the gnome settings -> sound dropdown for speakers/headphone)
[18:53] <archer121> Bashing-om: I have 14.04. I installed a .run file for 367, but with no use.
[18:55] <_AxS_> bmcfee: huh.  ok well if there's plugged vs unplugged detection then in theory plugging in headphones should trigger a kernel event.  dmesg?
[18:56] <bmcfee> _AxS_: tried that, nothing shows up.  either those events don't get logged (possible?) or they're not getting triggered.
[18:56] <bmcfee> (dmesg -l debug also shows nothing related)
[18:58] <Snackerr> Admin__, which is better NextCloud or OwnCloud?
[18:58] <Bashing-om> archer121: K. do not think 14.04 has the X-server to support the 367 driver .. in 14.04 .. how bout we try version 364 - from our repo - see how that works out ?
[18:58] <Admin__> Snackerr, ask k1l
[18:58] <_AxS_> bmcfee: not getting triggered would mean kernel setting.  time to check the kernel config?
[18:59] <Snackerr> k1l, can you use SSHFS with Owncloud?  (to see a folder mounted in Nautilus)
[18:59] <k1l> Snackerr: right now: owncloud. since nextcloud is just setting everything up.
[18:59]  * _AxS_ really prefers hardware that had headphone/speaker switchover being transparent to the OS...
[19:00] <k1l> Snackerr: install openssh-server on the host and you got that. and nautilus handles sftp native, too.
[19:00] <bmcfee> _AxS_: meaning ... what exactly?  the build config, modules, etc?  this is all using stock kernel packages
[19:00] <_AxS_> Snackerr: ownCloud is like setting up your own personal dropbox.
[19:00] <jtc1> i have installed ubuntu 16.04 on acer aspire netbook, but after i choose in grub the ubuntu it only shows black screen, i had to change uefi to legacy because of secure boot but it still does not work, anyone could help me?
[19:00] <_AxS_> bmcfee: the build config, yeah.  16.10 i'm sure came with a new kernel, there may be options it didn't have previously in sound that need enabling
[19:00] <jtc1> I have tried nomodeset but it did not help
[19:01] <Admin__> what stack does twilio use
[19:01] <Snackerr> "_AxS_:  store the files in a multi-user-accessible way.  Probably copying to a directory everyone can access would be easiest."   <-- okay, how do you do that?
[19:01] <scaldwell> I have a system with a swap file on a disk that has other I/O.  (Yeah... I know this is bad).  This is a production system (rebooting is not an option).  I have added swap on another disk with higher priority and load is shifted to this new swap.  Is there a way to SAFELY bleed the swap over to the new swap partition without any OOMEs on the production service?
[19:02] <scaldwell> (Three of us are banging our heads on this one)
[19:02] <bmcfee> _AxS_: okay.. how would i check that?  sorry if that sounds dumb, i haven't built a kernel within the last decade
[19:02] <_AxS_> Snackerr: seriously?  you don't know how to copy files?
[19:03] <Snackerr> _AxS_,  i want to make only certain folders accessible, and some Read-only, some writeable.  to my guests
[19:03] <pawn> I'm trying to install libapache2-mod-fastcgi but I'm getting an error: ...
[19:03] <pawn> Package libapache2-mod-fastcgi is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:03] <pawn> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[19:03] <pawn> is only available from another source
[19:03] <pawn> E: Package 'libapache2-mod-fastcgi' has no installation candidate
[19:03] <Admin__> Snackerr, did you try apache?
[19:04] <_AxS_> bmcfee: ah.  well..  good question then.  I'm not an ubuntu user but i would expect that the config of the kernel you booted is available at /proc/config.gz ; as to using it in a human-readable way, you would need to grab the matching kernel tarball, extract, 'make oldconfig' with the .config being what you found in /proc , and then 'make menuconfig' to browse the options.
[19:05] <_AxS_> Snackerr: well, you need [1] account(s) for your guest(s) ; [2] folder(s) where they have read-only or read-write permissions ; [3] files that you've copied into those folders.
[19:06] <_AxS_> Snackerr: info on how to do all of that is general linux administration and usage stuff.  I have no idea what sort of guide or howto that you might be able to use for that though sorry
[19:08] <bmcfee> _AxS_: yikes. maybe i'll just try to revert to whatever kernel was used in 15.10
[19:09] <bmcfee> gonna give that a spin.  thanks _AxS_
[19:10] <Snackerr> _AxS_, thanks.  Admin__  no i dont know apache, but i have also beeen looking at FreeNAS & Xpenology.
[19:11] <_AxS_> FreeNAS i think may contain ownCloud, but in general it's for -local- network storage not remote-access, iirc
[19:12] <Bashing-om> archer121: Opps .. bad choice of words , the 364 version deiver is in our trusted PPA .. not from the repository .
[19:14] <akik> scaldwell: i've used swapoff in the past succesfully. i don't know if anyone can give you guarantees about it
[19:16] <akik> scaldwell: i just disabled all swap on this machine and nothing bad happened *knock* *knock*
[19:17] <panina> hey, anyone know of good alternatives to network-manager?
[19:17] <panina> it's behaving quite erratically, and I think it's time to retire it...
[19:18] <bekks> panina: How does it behave then?
[19:18] <jatt> panina: wicd
[19:19] <Bashing-om> panina: IF this is a stationary system and WIFI does not require management .. one can do without network-manager . A thought .
[19:22] <_AxS_> panina: wpa_supplicant has a nice GUI all on its own, using qt4 libs.  no idea if that's available in ubuntu or not
[19:22] <_AxS_> wicd died like 5 years ago didn't it?
[19:23] <hdon> hi all :) i tried editing an XML file with really long lines in vim and it doesn't like it. anyone know a program to pretty print my xml doc so i can explore/edit it in vim?
[19:23] <ioria> _AxS_, tell us more about this wpa-supplicant gui  ...
[19:23] <hdon> or if someone knows a non-graphical xml editor / xpath query evaluator, that would be pretty nice
[19:24] <_AxS_> ioria: it's a small panel applet, connects to wpa_supplicant in the background to control it and manages /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf if so configured to be allowed.
[19:24] <johnzorn> Whats the difference between the 2 packages: traceroute vs inettools-traceroute?
[19:25] <ioria> _AxS_,  github, debian, arch aur ... where ?
[19:25] <_AxS_> network-manager just does the same thing but also handles the rest of the network stack.  wpa_supplicant generally (iirc) will launch a dhcp client to configure after association, so there's no further setup you can do but that's good for 98% of the time..
[19:25] <tgm4883> johnzorn: looks like everything before the dash
[19:25] <_AxS_> ioria: i'm on Gentoo; i'm certain its available on other distros though.
[19:25] <ioria> _AxS_,  ok, thanx
[19:25] <_AxS_> ioria: 'wpa_gui' is the binary
[19:25] <ioria> _AxS_,  oki
[19:26] <tgm4883> johnzorn: I think it's just a transitional package
[19:26] <ioria> _AxS_,  same on arch...
[19:26] <_AxS_> https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/wpagui/  <-- ioria
[19:26] <tgm4883> johnzorn: doesn't look like it contains any binaries http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/traceroute/filelist
[19:26] <ioria> _AxS_,  stucked at 13
[19:27] <panina> bekks - apart from not connecting upon thaw and all the other hassle, my laptop isn't accepting dns servers from my dhcp. I have a suspicion that that might be network-manager as well....
[19:27] <panina> jatt, I've heard the name wicd before, I'll check it out
[19:28] <ioria> !info wpagui
[19:29] <panina> _AxS_ that sounds interesting. I like working with wpa_supplicant, since it's rather basic, but I haven't figured all the ins & outs out yet. But I'll definitely check it out
[19:29] <onur_> hi
[19:30] <onur_> ı'm a hacker
[19:32] <panina> srsly though, whose bright idea was it to make the new apt's search do two-liners?
[19:32] <scaldwell> @akik I almost did that but when I looked at swap usage I realized my main service (prod) would shift EVERYTHING to RAM rather than to the other swap file.  That would be bad. ;-)
[19:32] <panina> and was it just to make grep'ing more difficult?
[19:33] <akik> scaldwell: do you have enough swap on the new swap area?
[19:34] <akik> scaldwell: and can you share the amounts?
[19:34] <scaldwell> I have 32GB on the new swap area.  I have 4GB on the old swap area.
[19:35] <akik> scaldwell: how much ram in use?
[19:35] <scaldwell> 16GB Total/16MB free
[19:35] <akik> (and swap)
[19:35] <scaldwell> 1GB out of 4GB is currently swapped.
[19:36] <scaldwell> This server needs love.
[19:36] <akik> scaldwell: a way to clear the caches "one-shot" is using sync and then echo 3 >/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
[19:36] <akik> scaldwell: that might show you the real amount that your apps are using
[19:36] <scaldwell> yeah.  I have a script called free_caches that does that.
[19:36] <scaldwell> The problem is that we're in business hours.  Load is high
[19:36] <okami> guys can one help me with this problem : http://superuser.com/questions/1089054/reroute-my-traffic-to-another-adapter
[19:37] <scaldwell> This looks like another after-hours solution.
[19:38] <Bashing-om> scaldwell: A thought, make sure the syste, is using the swap you think it is ' swapon --summary ' ?
[19:39] <scaldwell> The numbers I have provided above were from swapon --summary
[19:41] <scaldwell> This might answer my question (not directly): http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/45673/how-can-swapoff-be-that-slow
[19:45] <iSlayWyverns> Good day everyone. Are AMD drivers still unable to install due to xorg version?
[19:46] <ikonia> I wasn't aware of them ever being unavailable
[19:46] <bekks> iSlayWyverns: Yes. And that will not change anymore.
[19:46] <ikonia> explain ?
[19:46] <bekks> ikonia: that old ati drivers are gone, dont they?
[19:46] <ikonia> oh, the old propitary ones
[19:46] <ikonia> not the current ones that are open and part of xorg
[19:47] <_AxS_> ikonia: there's still a proprietary one too, that has a new structure and needs latest xorg, iirc?
[19:47] <ikonia> _AxS_: I don't know, I'd not heard about it not being available
[19:48] <Jordan_U> iSlayWyverns: The old fglrx stack is never going to work with current or future Xorg/kernel versions (at least that is how it appears). The new AMD GPU pro stack, which is ATI's new proprietary userland to go with their open kerbel driver is still in development, but betas are available.
[19:48] <ioria> !info fglrx
[19:48] <_AxS_> ikonia: amdgpu-pro drivers i think they're called
[19:48] <iSlayWyverns> soo no Steam for me on 16.04?
[19:48] <bekks> iSlayWyverns: Depends on your graphics card.
[19:48] <iSlayWyverns> I have an old HD5750
[19:48] <_AxS_> iSlayWyverns: radeon with ati firmware handles a lot of 3d accelleration
[19:48] <iSlayWyverns> I think it's not supported in the new Drivers (openGPU)
[19:49] <Jordan_U> iSlayWyverns: For most hardware not supported by AMDGPU the fully open drivers are actually on par with fglrx in most ways, and can play many modern Steam games.
[19:49] <iSlayWyverns> Jordan_U, well I don't believe that much - but I'll give it a try
[19:50] <_AxS_> iSlayWyverns: amd provides the firmware that the in-kernel drivers use, so that's why it's on par
[19:51] <Apocope> Is anyone here using icinga or icinga2-classicui under Xenial?
[19:51] <scaldwell> @akik, @bashing-om Here's some good info on deactivating swap FWIW.  I figure I would share it since you guys were willing to help me dig into this. ;-)  https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand014.html#toc81
[19:51] <Bashing-om> iSlayWyverns: QIII's testimony that the new opensource AMD drivers outperform FGLRX in some instances : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2317199#post13504123 .
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> Apocope  that's a yes/o question, better ask your real question
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> yes/no*
[19:52] <Bashing-om> scaldwell: :) reading .
[19:52] <scaldwell> "If there was not enough available memory to page in all the entries, the swap area is reinserted back into the running system as it cannot be simply dropped. "
[19:53] <scaldwell> Funny thing is that the code hasn't really changed much it seems.
[19:53] <Apocope> I'm trying to get either icinga or icinga2-classicui working in Xenial. Under both, the menu on the left displays for a moment and then slides up and is invisible.
[19:54] <codfection> hello
[19:54] <codfection> how to use numpad
[19:55] <codfection> on ubuntu
[19:55] <codfection> keyboard is working fine but when I try to use numpad
[19:55] <codfection> it acts as mouse
[19:55] <codfection> and starts scrolling
[19:55] <k1l> press "numlock"
[19:56] <codfection> tried
[19:56] <codfection> keyboard is wireless : logitech k345
[19:56] <iSlayWyverns> Bashing-om, on the newest hardware?
[19:58] <iSlayWyverns> I can't fix screen tearing & improve perfomance in some instances - but anyway.
[19:59] <akik> scaldwell: did you have some doubts that the new 32 gig swap partition wouldn't work in the change?
[19:59] <iSlayWyverns> As for the AMD-GPUopen... I trust that, and I had read articles myself... It's the old hardware that's getting outdated now.
[20:00] <scaldwell> @akik my fear was that the memory would be paged back into RAM and if that failed the memory block would not be paged out to the new swap (leading to a possible OOME ...and a lot of people clapping in applause at my faceplant).  ;-)
[20:02] <scaldwell> There is a job running on this server that I can't interrupt right now.  Once that job finishes, I am going to try this.  Worst case, people will clap, I will get to do some paperwork.  But overall I think once the current job is done, I can take the risk and share the results.
[20:02] <Bashing-om> iSlayWyverns: The hardware is not the issue ,, it is the software able to interceed with the hardware .. 14.04 I do not think has that ability . I do think the best you can do in 14.04 is version 364 . Even on relase 16.10 a driver is only available for us in the PPA .
[20:02] <scaldwell> In theory this should work fine...  In theory.
[20:02] <bekks> scaldwell: Why do you need to restart?
[20:03] <scaldwell> There will be no restart...unless things go badly
[20:03] <Bashing-om> iSlayWyverns: Opps .. wires crossed again in regard to Nvidia .
[20:03] <codfection> keyboard is working fine but when I try to use numpad
[20:03] <codfection> it acts as mouse
[20:03] <iSlayWyverns> Bashing-om, On 14.04 it worked (still works?)
[20:03] <bekks> scaldwell: Are you trying to deactivate swap?
[20:05] <Bashing-om> iSlayWyverns: Yes ... FGLRX is supported in 14.04 . But AMD has dropped support for older cards .
[20:05] <brahim> salut
[20:07] <iSlayWyverns> Bashing-om, http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux HD5000 series still here...
[20:07] <iSlayWyverns> pardon me: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux+x86_64
[20:08] <k1l> iSlayWyverns: there is no fglrx and catalyst from 16.04 on
[20:09] <iSlayWyverns> k1l, Where can I look at then?
[20:09] <_AxS_> iSlayWyverns: here -- https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Firmware  <-- all you ever wanted to know (and even more you don't) about getting your radeon working with in-kernel drivers
[20:10] <k1l> iSlayWyverns: amd dropped fglrx now. they support amd_gpu. but i guess they will drop a lot of old devices now.
[20:14] <iSlayWyverns> Nonetheless, thanks for info!
[20:15] <Sheepolution> What is the best theme configurator out there?
[20:16] <kyle__> vim.
[20:16] <Sheepolution> I was thinking more of a GUI :P
[20:17] <nacc> Sheepolution: #ubuntu-offtoic
[20:17] <bekks> Sheepolution: gvim
[20:17] <nacc> err, #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:17] <Sheepolution> nacc, Ah thanks
[20:17] <Guest89066> who is who ?
[20:18] <kyle__> Omit the space and the question mark, and used a fully qualified domain to use whois.
[20:19] <kyle__> And the fact that who.is is registered, is both obvious and very satisfying.
[20:24] <nolsen> Will allowing ports conflict with blocked ips on ufw?
[20:24] <est31> a little question
[20:24] <nolsen> Been trying to be able to block ips, but they don't work for some reason.
[20:24] <est31> installing kubuntu and I think it has the same installer as ubuntu
[20:24] <_AxS_> nolsen: more details please, what are you using to do this blocking and/or allowing?
[20:25] <est31> wondering about setting up lvm via the manual option dialog
[20:25] <k1l> est31: it has a different one. but ask here or in #kubuntu and people will try to help
[20:25] <est31> I want encrypted / and /home but I want them separate
[20:26] <nolsen> sudo ufw reject from ip-goes-here to any port ****
[20:27] <_AxS_> ah, ufw is a cli for firewall settings..  right.  WELL, if you were using iptables etc directly, then order matters.  but i've no idea about ufw
[20:28] <lordcirth> Best to use entirely ufw, or entirely not.  Mixing iptables frontends gets confusing fast.
[20:28] <nolsen> Tried iptables, but it doesn't block ips either.
[20:28] <nolsen> Maybe ufw rules is conflicting
[20:28] <_AxS_> for sure.  but how does order for reject / allow work with ufw?  i ask just because i haven't used it.  ie, if one rejects source-ip , and then allows ports , does that work?
[20:29] <_AxS_> nolsen: huh?  iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 1.2.3.4/32 -j REJECT   ...rejects anything coming from 1.2.3.4
[20:30] <Mikelevel> nolsen~ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW#Allow_Access
[20:30] <_AxS_> (note tis is off the top of my head, and could have syntax errors)
[20:30] <nolsen> _AxS_: But it doesn't reject.
[20:30] <_AxS_> nolsen: then there must be a rule above it that allows the traffic first
[20:31] <_AxS_> nolsen: that's what i was saying about order.  if you put that as the first rule, it'll guaranteed'ly reject all traffic where that ip address is the source.
[20:31] <nolsen> Could it be these? [ 4] ****/tcp                   ALLOW IN    Anywhere
[20:31] <_AxS_> nolsen: but, again, don't mix ufw and iptables or ufw and anything-else
[20:33] <nolsen> _AxS_: Maybe I should try disabling ufw then.
[20:34] <_AxS_> nolsen: i'm sure you can do this in ufw, you just need to read up more on it.  Mikelevel's link likely would help
[20:36] <_AxS_> nothing against using iptables/ebtables/etc.etc directly, its plenty powerful, but its not user-friendly and definitely not forgiving if you leave any sort of gaping hole, or clamp down too hard, with your rules.
[20:37] <nolsen_> Well I prefer my script use iptables and use ufw for other stuff.
[20:38] <nolsen_> What should I check then?
[20:43] <valvazork> quit
[20:47] <nolsen_> _AxS_: ?
[20:50] <_AxS_> nolsen: i'm sure there's a way to do this with ufw.  that said, the best way to keep them from colliding would be to add a table at the top of INPUT, in that table reject ip addresses you want to reject, and then have a 'RETURN' at the bottom.

[20:55] <bekks> bipul: When doing ehat exactly?
[20:57] <bipul> I was trying to make a bootable usb for my Xenial 16.04 through startup disk creator. But after making it bootable, my system is not detecting anything on usb.
[20:57] <computer> bekks: sorry taking some time, i lost the error when i restarted my computre, generating it now again
[20:57] <bipul> anything from USB
[20:57] <bekks> bipul: How did you creat the bootable USB? How are you checking wether your systems detects it?
[20:59] <bipul> I have created a bootable pendrive from startup disk creator. then i inserted into my system to install, but my system is not able to detect.
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> bipul  you mean in the bios? did you hit F12 during startup?
[21:00] <bipul> yes everything, now i am not able to read it
[21:01] <MonkeyDust> bipul  do you have more than one usb stick? try the other then
[21:01] <bipul> I lost image file now :( I am looking for 32 bit 16.04

[21:08] <C_minus> What does "E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages." from apt mean?
[21:08] <est31> C_minus, it means trouble
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> C_minus  type   sudo apt -f install
[21:09] <MonkeyDust> C_minus  I picked this up in this channel ... save it as 'fixpackages' ... make executable with 'chmod +x fixpackages' ... then run it with './fixpackages' ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/15121279/
[21:10] <C_minus> MonkeyDust, what that command you just sent me?
[21:11] <C_minus> MonkeyDust, it didn't solve it. When I try to install the thing I originally wanted, I get the same error.
[21:11] <MonkeyDust> C_minus  sudo apt -f install ? it's very common, -f means fix
[21:11] <gin> is there some way to prevent screenlock when you connect a hdmi cable, rather annoying having to enable disable the screenlock all the time when you need to do a presentation
[21:11] <lordcirth> C_minus, if you want to know something does, run 'man <cmd>' and search for the option.
[21:12] <EriC^^> gin: make a udev rule that disables it when you plug an hdmi device
[21:12] <C_minus> Here's precisely what it says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17341194/

[21:14] <lordcirth> C_minus, Well, do you use Empathy's IRC plugin a lot?
[21:14] <MonkeyDust> C_minus  what's the output of    cat /etc/issue
[21:14] <C_minus> lordcirth I don't have it yet. Hence why I am trying to install it.
[21:14] <lordcirth> C_minus, do you use Empathy for other things?
[21:14] <C_minus> no
[21:15] <C_minus> MonkeyDust it says: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS \n \l
[21:15] <lordcirth> C_minus, then don't use it for IRC.  Just use a real IRC client, like Hexchat
[21:15] <C_minus> lordcirth, you're kind of missing the point here. I get this error from time to time trying to install various things.
[21:15] <lordcirth> Not, strictly speaking, a solution to your question, but empathy's IRC isn't that great.
[21:15] <setuid> Any plymouth experts around? I can't seem to get plymouth to prompt for the password when I'm using full disk encryption... tried EVERYTHING, including using grub-customizer, plymouth-manager, adding GFXPAYLOAD=auto, fixplymouth script, etc.
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> C_minus  and you can't   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade    either?
[21:16] <lordcirth> C_minus, well, thankfully, apt -f install tells you exactly what the problem is each time.  However, it's strange that it happens regularly.
[21:16] <setuid> The ONLY thing that works, is to take 'quiet splash' out of /etc/default/grub, boot in text mode, and let cryptsetup prompt me

[21:23] <C_minus> MonkeyDust "dist-upgrade"?
[21:23] <scaldwell> @bashing-om, @akik : follow up on earlier swap discussion,  swapoff will decommission a swap file to another swapfile without killing a high traffic machine.  Worked like a charm. (yay)
[21:23] <lordcirth> That's quite a compression ratio
[21:23] <computer> MonkeyDust: how do i know the error won't carry over?

[21:24] <setuid> lordcirth, No, nothing at all like that... I get a black screen, where I can VISIBLY type my password

[21:25] <computer> k1l: i used it before and it worked fine, but low quality
[21:27] <lerner> I need to edit a m4a file (audio), what program can I use?
[21:27] <C_minus> OK I'll let you know thanks MonkeyDust
[21:27] <computer> k1l: any idea what the error means?
[21:27] <winston2k> lerner: have you tried audacity
[21:28] <C_minus> MonkeyDust no that didn't help.
[21:29] <setuid> lordcirth, If I set 'quiet splash' in grub.conf, I get a blank screen, and my password when typed, shows up, but does nothing... if I use 'quiet nosplash', I don't get a graphical plymouth, but cryptsetup prompts me for my password, which works.
[21:30] <setuid> I don't understand how 'splash' vs. 'nosplash' either does, or does not catch my password - they should be entirely unrelated!
[21:31] <jackcom> man vs —help, which is better?
[21:31] <k1l> computer: i find a lot of issues with convert and ffmpeg. dont know how to fix that
[21:31] <soLucien> how can i tell if a user is sudo ?
[21:31] <k1l> jackcom: --hlp is short
[21:31] <soLucien> or admin
[21:31] <soLucien> ?
[21:31] <setuid> soLucien, echo $REALUSER
[21:31] <jackcom> ok thanks k1l
[21:31] <jackcom> :)
[21:31] <Fuchs> jackcom: depends on what you need, --help tends to be shorter and a quick reference, while man pages are detailled
[21:31] <Fuchs> jackcom: if you know what you want to do but now how: probably --help
[21:32] <jackcom> ok thanks Fuchs :)
[21:32] <EriC^^> soLucien: sudo -l
[21:32] <soLucien> i tried cat /etc/passwd but i dont understand the output
[21:32] <soLucien> also /etc/groups
[21:32] <computer> k1l: hmmmm, do you know anyone i could ask, i tried winff from it does not have the option i want
[21:33] <k1l> you could ask the imagemagik guys about that. or the ffmpeg
[21:34] <ptnecniv> Bashing-om: yeah, the network in my office is down at the moment. this machine is hardwired so i can talk/work, but the laptop we are debugging is not and i dont have another cable so...yeah
[21:34] <jackcom> what is Tor?
[21:34] <setuid> jackcom, UTSL
[21:34] <jackcom> UTSL?
[21:34] <setuid> lordcirth, Any ideas?
[21:34] <lordcirth> setuid, and when you run with "quiet" what happens?
[21:34] <setuid> Use the Seach Luke
[21:34] <Luke> ?
[21:34] <jackcom> ok
[21:35] <setuid> lordcirth, using 'quiet nosplash', I get a shortened text output boot + cryptsetup password prompt
[21:35] <nacc> Luke: i think incidental namespace collision :)
[21:35] <lordcirth> setuid, and with 'quiet' by itself?
[21:35] <setuid> lordcirth, If I use 'quiet splash', I get a graphical boot, and visible password, but the words I type aren't sent to cryptsetup
[21:35] <k1l> jackcom: this is ubuntu support. for general chat please use other channels.
[21:35] <computer> k1l: ffmpeg channel
[21:35] <setuid> lordcirth, I haven't tried without 'splash' nor 'nosplash', give me a sec, I'll try that
[21:35] <jackcom> k1l: ok thanks then i will go to #linux
[21:35] <computer> k1l: ?
[21:35] <k1l> !alis | computer i dont know the exact channel names
[21:36] <setuid> I was just going to try to forcibly remove plymouth, but someone made cryptsetup depend on IT (which is *WRONG*), so I can't remove it without killing my system
[21:36] <setuid> oddly, lightdm, unity-greeter and xfce4-indicator-plugin also depend on plymouth... (also *WRONG*)
[21:37] <lordcirth> setuid, yeah that is a bad idea, isn't it?
[21:37] <lordcirth> I didn't know that cryptsetup did, that's strange
[21:37] <setuid> can't remove plymouth without pulling all of those packages out
[21:38] <lerner> whats the difference between joint stereo and stereo?
[21:38] <setuid> once you do that, you can never get back into your system again
[21:38] <ThePendulum> Apparently as of 16.04 ubuntu will display an fsck message during boot, e.g. "clean, 291272/4292608 files, 480345/18174432 blocks". However, on my (l)ubuntu installation, this message keeps prompting itself over everything else. Any idea how to approach this?
[21:38] <setuid> lordcirth, Ok, with -just- 'quiet', I get a text prompt for my password, no graphical boot, no plymouth at all
[21:41] <lordcirth> setuid, the same as with 'quiet nosplash' ?
[21:41] <setuid> Correct
[21:41] <jalloh> anable to get audio from my ubuntu mate on Raspberry Pi 3 ? HELP
[21:44] <lordcirth> setuid, I think this is more of a plymouth+nvidia problem than a plymouth+cryptsetup problem.
[21:44] <setuid> Right... but removing the nvidia drivers, gives me a broken X environment
[21:45] <lordcirth> setuid, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html
[21:45] <setuid> Yep, tried that too... doesn't work
[21:45] <lordcirth> setuid, no change at all?
[21:47] <Bogdar> Hello! I have legacy local network with couple of unknown systems. I would like to monitor all broadcast traffic and record every unique IP address found.  What tool can I use? Are there are something better then manual tcpdump records  parsing?
[21:48] <est31> Bogdar, there is wireshark
[21:49] <In4rtia> yeap use Wireshark
[21:49] <james1138> Hello all. Question for group... has anyone worked with "WattOS R9"?  It is supposed to be based on Ubuntu.
[21:50] <setuid> lordcirth, Nope, same exact results
[21:50] <setuid> Going to try 1024x768
[21:50] <irregular> Hi guys, I recently bought a second monitor to go with my linux laptop. How can I prevent the taskbar from coming up inbetween the border of the 2 monitors?
[21:50] <setuid> maybe something in the nvidia driver is dorking up higher resolution at boot
[21:50] <k1l> james1138: we can only support official ubuntu flavors in here. you might want to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic, ##linux or their support channel
 try #linux
[21:51] <james1138> Thanks
[21:52] <In4rtia> You are welcome!
[21:52] <setuid> The only combination that apparently works, is removing 'quiet' and adding 'nosplash'
[21:52] <setuid> I just don't get a graphical boot
[21:52] <lordcirth> setuid, didn't you say that 'quiet' got the same result as well?
[21:53] <setuid> quiet on its own, and 'quiet nosplash' are identical results, but quiet omits some useful bootup debug info
[21:53] <setuid> so I guess I'll stick with a text boot, using 'nosplash' and without 'quiet'
[21:54] <lordcirth> setuid, that's what I do, though I'm not using cryptsetup atm.
[21:54] <okami_> hello everyone
[21:55] <lordcirth> okami_, hi
[21:55] <setuid> lordcirth, I have to... company requirement :)
[21:55] <est31> how can I add an EFI system partition
[21:55]  * setuid works for @canonical ;) 
[21:55] <est31> in the minimal installation disk
[21:55] <okami_> guys what is the best way to make a simple gui interface for command line program ?
[21:55] <est31> it does not show up
[21:56] <est31> err
[21:56] <est31> disregard that
[21:56] <est31> there is an entry
[21:56] <nacc> okami_: probably better asked in a different channel
[21:56] <lordcirth> setuid, you are lucky to work for a company that has a clue about encryption.  The last time I worked for a company that did, they required some random proprietary app that was Win only
[21:56]  * est31 is STUPID
[21:56] <okami_> nacc, sorry im kinda new to irc and im here because i use ubuntu so maybe there is a tool to do it
[21:57] <jamesd> okami_: try xdialog
[21:57] <est31> okami_, do you want the gui interface to be on the terminal
[21:57] <est31> or should it be in a separate window
[21:57] <okami_> est31, a seperate window
[21:57] <est31> ah okay
[21:58] <setuid> lordcirth, True, my last gig used some sort of Symantec product to do their FDE
[21:59] <Bashing-om> est31: minimal install does not support UEFI per the docs. However, I have seen that there is someway to make it happen , But, I do not know that means .
[21:59] <setuid> At least once a month, I'd have to forcibly shut down and then it would refuse my unlock password, and I'd have to call support and have them give me the unique override
[21:59] <lordcirth> setuid, seems to me that if you work at Canonical, you should bug someone there to fix it :)
[22:00] <setuid> ha!
[22:00] <lordcirth> I mean, it's a legit problem with their software.
[22:03] <setuid> Well, no... most-likely with nvidia's proprietary hooks to initramfs
[22:04] <lordcirth> setuid, which is in Ubuntu repos.  Still their problem, even if it's not their fault.
[22:09] <setuid> I *WILL* figure this out ;)
[22:14] <solidpizza> hello I am having an issue trying to run steam on ubuntu 16.04 64 bits
[22:15] <solidpizza> let me paste the output
[22:15] <lordcirth> solidpizza, pastebin, I hope
[22:15] <solidpizza> lordcirth: I'm all about that | pastebinit
[22:16] <katerina_> Hey! I am in the final phase installing gentoo dual boot with ubuntu; I want to add an entry for gentoo in my ubuntu's grub. /dev/sda9 is my gentoo's root partition, and sda10 the swap one. So I will edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom in ubuntu by adding these lines http://pastebin.com/07eg54T3. Do you think its ok ?
[22:17] <solidpizza> here is my output from steam complaining about libGL http://paste.ubuntu.com/17343152/
[22:18] <solidpizza> oh yeah I am using KDE ubuntu i'm not sure if that affects it or not
[22:22] <lordcirth> solidpizza, common problem, one sec
[22:23] <lordcirth> solidpizza, You need the nvidia libs in 32bit as well for Steam.
[22:24] <bambanx> hi
[22:25] <lordcirth> bambanx, hi
[22:25] <solidpizza> lordcirth: just to make sure, I have amd radeon graphics, so I also need to have the nvidia 32 libs?
[22:25] <lordcirth> solidpizza, oh, sorry, no.  You would need mesa 32bit libs, I think
[22:25] <bambanx> hey lordcirth evening your majesty
[22:25] <solidpizza> lordcirth: oh ok I'll try that
[22:26] <est31> man i really like the minimal network install
[22:26] <est31> its cool
[22:28] <solidpizza> lordcirth: brb, going to reboot
[22:28] <Bashing-om> est31: And a faster boot , faster desktop AND you have just what you want . :)
[22:29] <est31> exactly
[22:29] <est31> Its not that I am not savvy enough for arch linux
[22:29] <kshenoy> solidpizza: What witchcraft is this I'm hearing about?
[22:29] <est31> I am just LAZY
[22:30] <est31> ubuntu helps me being lazy
[22:30] <est31> so ubuntu is my distro
[22:30] <kshenoy> est31: I did try Arch as a VM but I couldn't get it to resize so here I am
[22:33] <Bashing-om> est31: You will find that you have some fine tuning to do . anacron ? see /etc/crontab . I bet ya want to install .
[22:34] <est31> http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kubuntu-desktop
[22:34] <est31> its dependency of the package i am installing
[22:35] <est31> and which services need to be executed regularly anyway?
[22:35] <est31> checking for updates, what else?
[22:36] <k1l> a minimalinstall with installing kubuntu-desktop afterwards is like installing the kubuntu iso in the first place
[22:36] <est31> not really
[22:36] <est31> there is kubuntu-full
[22:36] <est31> the iso installs that one i think
[22:36] <k1l> no, i dont think its the full install on the kubuntu iso
[22:37] <est31> oh
[22:38] <est31> seems I've installed all that "recomended" bloat
[22:38] <est31> yeah, precisely what I wanted to avoid
[22:38] <est31> well, seems I'll apt-get remove and then autoremove
[22:38] <est31> and then nuke home to be 100% sure
[22:38] <Bashing-om> est31: ' --no-install-remommrnds ' ??
[22:39] <Bashing-om> recommends*
[22:39] <est31> yeah
[22:39] <est31> will do that after that
[22:39] <est31> after the nuke
[22:39] <est31> thought it was the default
[22:54] <nolsen> For some reason, netstat is reporting tcp6 on ipv4 connections...
[22:55] <jembut> hi
[22:58] <est31> wow
[22:58] <est31> its really faster
[22:58] <est31> quite cool xD
[22:59] <jembut> qiet
[23:04] <Jordan_U> nolsen: Please tell the exact command you're running and pastebin its complete output.
[23:08] <nolsen> Jordan_U: https://paste.kde.org/ppbbo4x97/kdgjly/raw
[23:08] <nolsen> Just netstat.
[23:16] <nolsen> Worst part is tcpkill doesn't kill them.
[23:31] <sveinse> Just found an interesting bug in grep and ls: I cannot do ( cd /lib/systemd/system; ls * ) on 16.04. It return "ls: invalid option -- '.'". Same does grep
[23:41] <dancingd3mon__> beginner question, how to add some location to my PATH ?
[23:46] <krytarik> !path | dancingd3mon__
[23:48] <krytarik> (Scroll up there.)
[23:50] <dancingd3mon__> thanks man
[23:50] <dancingd3mon__> don't want to sound dumb but what to edit to make it permenant
[23:51] <dancingd3mon__> I did this export PATH=$PATH:Location1:location2
[23:51] <dancingd3mon__> but which file exactly should i edit so everytime i log out of SSH and log back in, It's already there without having to rewrite it.
[23:51] <allure> hey... is it normal that users other than the admin user on a desktop 16.04 can't connect to wifi networks?
[23:52] <gin> dancingd3mon__, .bashrc is a option
[23:53] <nacc> allure: depends on how it was added; but if done by network-manager, you might need to indicate it's available to all users
[23:53] <nacc> allure: or do you mean any other users are unable to use wifi at all?
[23:53] <k1l> allure: check the network-manager entry for that wifi and make sure its checked "can be used by all users"
[23:55] <dancingd3mon__> gin, where exactly in .bashrc? I can't seem to find were to write it.
[23:55] <allure> nacc: they see the networks, but when they put the password, it wont connect and diplays an error that doesnt explain anything :D
[23:55] <allure> k1l: ok
[23:55] <gin> dancingd3mon__, its not sure it gets created by default these days, ~/.bashrc
[23:56] <dancingd3mon__> oh so what should i type there?
[23:56] <k1l> dancingd3mon__: what do you want to do?
[23:56] <gin> dancingd3mon__, what ever you type in there gets executed when you open a new bash shell, so you can add aliases, paths, scripts etc
[23:56] <k1l> dancingd3mon__: for easy handling you can put stuff in "bin" folder in your users home. after a relogin that is included in path already
