[00:02] Ok thanks [00:03] hey guys I am running latest version of 64bit ubuntu but it seems kinda slow... [00:03] I have an i7 processor as well [00:04] Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz × 8 [00:04] 4GB Ram [00:04] shouldnt that run it quickly? [00:04] ufc205: Did you try turning it off and on? [00:04] :) haha ofc [00:05] of course d trump has such comments :P [00:05] ubuntu 16.04 LTS [00:05] is there something special I need to do to enable the i7 or something? [00:05] how can I see if all 8 cores are being used? [00:05] ufc205: define 'kinda slow', that really doesn't say anything [00:05] ufc205: is it a ssd? [00:06] ufc205: it's only 4 cores btw. [00:06] ufc205: see systemsettings -> software and updates -> prop. drivers tab. maybe you missed the correct drivers [00:06] it could also be perhaps intel turbo boost or power management [00:08] 'Processor microcode. Intel-microcode. I enabled that althought I don't think it did anything to performance [00:08] yea that what it says its using [00:09] https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/microcode [00:09] hrm still pretty slow overall vs windows 10 surprisingly [00:09] mint seemed much faster [00:09] maybe ill go back to that [00:09] ufc205: is it a ssd or hdd? [00:09] ufc205: are you using external monitor? does it have a dedicated nvidia card? [00:11] its a hdd and yes using external monitor and no just onboard intel gfx [00:11] Intel® Sandybridge Mobile [00:14] I'm getting tons of flooding in my dmesg with nouveau drivers using extneral monitor [00:14] [drm:drm_wait_vblank [drm]] *ERROR* Unsupported type value 0x133, supported mask 0x7400003f [00:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/17624415/ [00:17] going to try installing bumblebee and see if that fixes that [00:18] does anyone have any experience/thoughts/opinions on using zram (zram-config) with a slower computer? [00:19] the only problem im really having is that my browser (whether i use firefox or chrome) is constantly stalling/freezing [00:20] danmulvey: Lubuntu (which is made for old and slow hardware) already enables zram [00:20] k1l: ok cool, so it would be worth trying it out for me then? [00:21] im just using regular ubuntu, was thinking about ditching unity too though since ive been using xmonad recently anyways [00:21] not sure if that makes a difference though, from what i understand when i use xmonad, unity shouldnt be loading anyways right? [00:23] are you loading it from lightdm? [00:23] im choosing it when i log in [00:23] so i think so? [00:24] yes [00:24] sorry im still learning a lot of this stuff [00:24] i really suggest you try out Lubuntu if you are on slow/old hardware. [00:27] oh im on fairly recent hardware, it's a laptop that's about a year old [00:27] it has 3gb ram, so i think that's why i run into issues with firefox/chrome because i tend to open way too many tabs [00:27] but aside from that everything else runs great [00:32] are there any downsides to using zram? [00:32] There is no "php5" package in ubuntu 16.x lts? [00:33] Can someone help me with apache? http://apaste.info/94Q [00:33] Agenomoto: correct, just php, which is now php7, afaik [00:33] Agenomoto: php5 was replaced with php7.0. [00:34] Agenomoto: php5 does not exist in the 16.04 repositories as a result of the replacing of it with the newer versions [00:39] Hello, I have a problem with my ubuntu install. After partitioning I have this kind of message (translated) " attempting to mount an ext4 file system encrypted volume on sda2_crypt / failed". Anyone know where it's from ?

[00:47] Artemis3: why 32bit? [00:47] uses less ram. [00:48] ahh [00:48] danmulvey, or try ubuntu-mate if you want something more friendly [00:49] Anyone please ? [00:50] 32bit is kind of dead. there is even no chrome for 32bit anymore. [00:52] there is always chromium [00:52] and opera and...

[03:45] it needs to be formatted as swap [03:45] Ben64 so say i could use my SD card slot tray on my laptop and it can format the sd card to be used for it? sweet [03:46] Ben64: it may be just swapfile [03:46] Shed-34046: why [03:46] sd card is too slow [03:46] if you happen to runlow on memory and hit that swapfile on the sd card, it will be veeeeeeery slow [03:46] Why would you use an SD card for a swapfile? [03:46] I don't know. [03:47] Shed-34046: you should create swapfile and locate it on your usb device [03:47] no, too slow [03:47] ^ [03:47] why not just put a swap partition on the hdd [03:47] USB would be faster than SD, if you absolutely needed swap. [03:48] Flannel: not necessarily [03:48] tons of slow flash drives around [03:48] plop_its_ellie: hi [03:48] a usb2 usb stick would be just as slow as an sd card [03:48] hi pvsharov [03:50] Anyway I thing you don't need swap on liveusb, because system use ram instead hdd for working [03:51] speaking of swap, i noticed clonezilla doesnt properly clone swap partitions [03:52] tried to clone an ubuntu install and the swap file came out as an "unknown partition" [03:52] swap do not make your system faster [03:52] i know [03:52] i still make a small swap partition just in case [03:52] in this case === Poke95 is now known as Poke95|away [03:55] Swap file does make your system faster. [03:55] You need to understand how it works. [03:55] o_O [03:56] There is a better way to use a SWAP file. [03:57] If you use Windows the so-called swap file is called: "Contiguous file." [03:57] the page file [03:57] It also depends upon the amount of RAM you have. [03:58] SWAP is a PAGE file PLOP. Good point. [03:58] With Windows the swap file or contiguous file loads up when you use your computer. [03:59] i know [03:59] windows isn't on topic here [03:59] heheh, okaaayyy ))) Tell me more ))) [03:59] If your RAM is short then the swap file crams up and then you crash or things don't work. [03:59] I am not talking about Windows. [03:59] anyway to take snapshot of specific window in kde? [04:00] With Windows.... [04:00] via a python script [04:00] With Ubuntu and Linux you can use a separate hard drive and use that as a swap drive. [04:01] Backwards: joker )) [04:01] The SWAP Drive will hold more data, hence, makes the hardware run faster. [04:01] that's not how swap works [04:01] OK you know everything. [04:03] Read this first. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/swap-partition/ [04:03] There are Swap partitions, space and drives. Do your homework. [04:04] Backwards: https://www.amazon.com/UNIX-Linux-System-Administration-Handbook/dp/0131480057 [04:04] Let me get another beer and read that handbook. [04:06] Backwards: I have read this book, but third edition [04:06] The same principal applies with Windows. Lots of Technicians don't know that you can take the contiguous file and swap it with on a hard drive. [04:07] Backwards: we tell about liveusb, if you remember [04:07] A swap file has limitations. A hard drive that is large has none. [04:08] Backwards: liveusb, no hdd [04:08] and any harddrives [04:09] USB is another story. I was trying to help others to understand that there are more ways to use swap. You can use a USB as a SWAP drive too. [04:09] a terrible one [04:09] swap should only be used in emergencies [04:09] urrrr [04:09] you really dont wanna have to use swap [04:10] especially if the swap is on the same drive as the os [04:10] not only is disk much slower than ram, but it can take up your disk io especially on the os drive [04:11] Plop the bottom line is this if you don't have lots of RAM then SWAP is important. Otherwise you are correct. [04:11] if you don't have lots of ram, and you run out consistently, get more ram [04:11] ^ [04:12] Amen to that Ben64 <-----< Take a bow. [04:12] Backwards: okay, you win in trolling [04:14] Backwards: you really thing we are so stupid and have no knowledge about it? [04:14] sorry [04:15] No one suggested that Pvsharov. [04:19] how do i setup my wireless network so that one node talks to another in ad-hoc mode without talking to a router? [04:20] codepython777: you nedd setup Aceess Point? [04:21] 777 if you use wireless you need a router. [04:21] not true [04:21] Ben64: thanks [04:21] pvsharov: I dont have access point. I just need the machines to talk to each other [04:22] Setting up a NETWORK you need a router or switch. [04:22] hmm... nope [04:22] Oh! So use a Walkie Talkie? [04:23] not sure what your deal is [04:23] codepython777: in your wifi network settings just select mode ad-hoc [04:23] pvsharov: how are the ips assigned to the nodes? [04:25] codepython777: what ips? [04:25] pvsharov: how do i communicate between two ad-hoc nodes? Can I give them static IPs? [04:25] yes, static [04:26] codepython777: yeah [04:26] cool [04:27] pvsharov: if i have two wireless cards, I can make one ad-hoc and the other one something else, right? [04:27] what is your goal with all this [04:27] Ben64: I've a few machines that need to talk to each other - there is no internet in the room [04:28] use an ethernet cable [04:28] Use a HUB [04:29] codepython777: second NIC is not required [04:29] Hi, I'm doing some Bash scripting, running scripts via the Terminator program. When I run cd to a folder then run a script it works fine. Then when I edit the data that the script reads and re-run the script, the script runs and reads in the old data file.. that doesn't exist anymore?? If I cd up a folder then back down, the script runs with the new data file [04:31] ugentu: it's normal [04:32] 777 check this website: http://www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Hardware_Software/router_switch_hub.asp [04:32] pvsharov: It's led to a lot of headache :P Do you know what the issue is called? I've been having trouble finding a solution... [04:33] ugentu: depends exactly whats going on. if a file is open and then modified or deleted, the process that has it opened still has access to how it was before the change [04:35] Ben64: So the whole process is: run script with data file in terminal -> works fine. Open the data file in a GUI program without using the terminal, edit and save the data file. Re-run the script from the same terminal that was kept open -> uses old data file [04:38] Can i make my ubuntu machine a podcast server?

[05:55] hateball: Because I only understand how to use "sudo apt-get install" for installing over internet. I use "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" to install from local hard drive. [05:56] sudo apt-get update [05:57] hateball: my "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" scheme was working for older .DEBs, but seems to no longer work with today's .DEBs....it is odd! [05:57] no it should work [05:58] dal: You're still not giving any useful information [05:58] dal, you are using a very outdated version of ubuntu, 12.04 support ends next year too [05:58] dal: If you're installing from debs, what are they, and where did you get them from? [05:58] also you need to have the propper dependencies or else the installation will fail [05:59] dal: sounds like your packages (at least, some of them) are corrupt [05:59] plop_its_ellie: yes, I suspect the fact that I'm using 12.04 is part of the problem. "Long term stable" is a sort of strange phrase! [05:59] long term support* [05:59] normal releases are considered stable too, afaik [05:59] dal, well it still has its place but it wont work to well if you are trying to run something modern [06:00] unless the developer of said packages are stilll targteting 12.04 [06:00] i recommend using 14.04 instead [06:00] however the issue you described sounds like you have corrupt packages or non debs in the mix [06:00] 16.04 LTS is out, and 16.04.1 LTS is coming out on July 21 [06:01] zhongfu, eh i would wait ~2-3 months after 16.04.1 [06:01] ah, ic [06:01] I wonder if, the most recent time I downloaded all my packages--i.e., today--something went wrong with the downloads [06:01] ive been using 16.04 at work, there are some weird quirks here and there [06:02] haven't noticed anything much yet, although it might be related to me not using unity [06:03] zhongfu, im not using unity either [06:03] I ran this "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" and got "is not a debian format archive" for so many packages that I saw "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." [06:03] dal, it sounds like they were not packaged correctly then [06:03] if i may ask what are you trying to install [06:04] Well he's failed to provide that information thus far [06:04] dal: maybe try `file *.deb | grep -v "Debian binary package"` [06:04] plop_its_ellie: I have a packages.txt that I use to guide me whenever I do this local repo update process, so to speak [06:04] yea, definately something went wrong during the packaging [06:05] * plop_its_ellie does not have much experience in packaging beyond using check install [06:05] plop_its_ellie: It has a list of...40-50 something packages, such as okular, xchat, filezilla, firefox...just, my programs and stuff [06:05] hateball: you assume I am a "he"! I am, as it turns out. [06:05] dal: you'll be able to see which files aren't deb packages, and what those actually are [06:06] dal, arent those packages in the repos [06:06] you could paste the result at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [06:06] zhongfu: I ran that command, and it says "empty" under a lot of my packages [06:06] oh, that means they weren't actually downlaoded for some reason [06:06] they're just blank files [06:07] dal: Would you provide us with more detail if I address you 'she' or 'it'? [06:07] how are you downloading those packages? [06:07] hateball: probably not, it's a full moon today and the walls between worlds are thin [06:07] zhongfu: Interesting. I made sure my VPN was up before downloading the packages for security....I had to "apt-get install" openvpn for that [06:08] hi guys does anybody know of a good way to find all text files that have emails inside? [06:08] zhongfu: I've had success doing my strange 'local repo update' thing in the past...maybe it would be most productive to just try again [06:08] zhongfu: in the past being like half a year or more ago [06:09] I think I am gonna try the download again from scratch [06:09] i'd say that's kind of a troublesome way of getting packages installed, tbh [06:09] zhongfu: it is :( [06:09] maybe do checks the next time you download [06:10] iirc they have hashes of the packages in the ubuntu repos [06:10] zhongfu: I'll try again...thanks for the help. I may be back [06:10] thanks all [06:10] even hateball [06:13] history —> how can i use number? [06:19] Howdy, I'm wondering will dual booting Ubuntu with my UEFI laptop that i am on right now [06:19] mimtf: ! [06:19] thanks hateball [06:19] it has windows 8 on it.. I am wanting to dual boot and maybe later on get rid of windows altogether.. [06:20] If i do a dual boot and decide i don't need it no more.. It would be able to be deleted fairly easily right? [06:20] then how can i install ssh on linux? [06:20] I just want something that is virus free. Able to do a few basic games. Have flash player. and browse the web fine without lag. [06:21] mimtf: Server or client? [06:21] server [06:21] PumpkinPie, yea, you can dual boot [06:21] and you could easily erase windows later [06:21] mimtf: sudo apt install ssh [06:21] ubuntu does all the things you listed perfectly [06:21] sudo apt-get install openssh-server <—— how about this? hateball ? [06:22] mimtf: Yes, that's the real package. ssh is a metapackage that provides both client and server [06:22] (and is shorter to type) ;d [06:22] oh thanks hateball [06:22] plop_its_ellie I meant ubuntu would it be easy to remove ubuntu later on if i wanted to? [06:23] Would a simple delete of the partition i install it to remove it from the UEFI as well? [06:25] PumpkinPie, not 100% sure, havent dual booted in a long time [06:25] no wait yea you should be able to [06:25] uefi is cleaner for dual boots than mbr === percY-_ is now known as percY- [06:31] PumpkinPie: you would just delete the ubuntu partition and the ubuntu directory from the efi partition, and all traces would be gone. [06:31] ^^ [06:31] ducasse so i would just have to mount the efi partition as a say drive I and find "Ubuntu" in it and delete it and unmount the efi partition? [06:32] PumpkinPie: yes. [06:32] Thank you. [06:32] PumpkinPie: no problem :) [06:32] windows has gotten on my nerves lately.. Everything just goes wrong for me on this OS. [06:33] Like tonight a random explorer.exe crash 5 times.. [06:33] Then a system wide lock up. [06:33] typical windows behavior [06:33] umm will ubuntu do the partitioning for me or do i need to do it? [06:34] PumpkinPie, in the installer there is an option "install along side windows" [06:34] ok :) [06:34] i'm on intel pentium b960 and intel says it not compatible with Linux.. but as long as it works fast :D [06:35] PumpkinPie, whaaaaaaat???? [06:35] linux works great on intel hardware [06:35] well they say that about my graphics card.. [06:35] plop_its_ellie its the i think 2nd gen intel hd graphics? [06:35] PumpkinPie, yea, support for intel gpus are great [06:35] sandy bridge i think [06:36] intel makes very good linux drivers [06:36] PumpkinPie: how much ram? [06:36] 4GB [06:36] 500GB HDD [06:36] PumpkinPie: good :) [06:36] you should be fine [06:53] Why do AWS repos get so choked?

[07:23] multiple Ubuntu computers on a single network? [07:23] this is weird. on my debian system iptables -F will delete a new table I've added. but in this ubuntu system it doesn't [07:24] zhongfu: hard to describe. It's a single laptop. But I want a thumbdrive with NOTHING on it except what UNetbootin and the like can put there [07:24] iptables -N test; iptables -F # Removes test, but not in my ubuntu [07:24] zhongfu: people always lecture me about how I should have persistence stuff on the thumbdrive [07:24] huh, alright [07:24] zhongfu: but, I have an internal hard drive with a single LUKS encrypted partition ,and that's how I want it! [07:24] jaggz, ubuntu uses ufw, try disableing it first [07:25] zhongfu: A big problem is that Ubuntu 12.04 includes LibreOffice, which screws things up, [07:25] zhongfu: I've been told I should switch to ARch Linux if I want a really clean system good for building live stuff from scratch [07:25] whats wrong witl libre office? [07:26] yeah, what's wrong with libreoffice?!?!?! [07:26] plop_its_ellie: well, like every time I boot, I have to deal with uninstalling and re-installing and stuff [07:26] plop_its_ellie: the fact that the Ubuntu 12.04 distro comes with Libre Office already embedded, makes some of the "start from scratch" hrad [07:26] plop_its_ellie: also, I've never been able to get the preferences file for Libre Office to work with my liveboot philosophy, the way Thunderbird and Firefox will [07:26] Guest98611, same thing.. no change [07:26] iptables -F just flushes all the tables but doesn't remove them [07:27] plop_its_ellie: With Firefox and Thunderbird, I can just copy the prferences file over from the local hard drive to the RAM disk [07:27] plop_its_ellie: and it's survived well like that for several years! [07:27] hi [07:27] jaggz, to remove them remove /etc/iptables/iptables.rules or /path/to/iptables.rules in your system and re-make them (the rules) then save > iptables.rules again [07:28] I gotta go. thanks all [07:31] ha [07:31] boris boris boris boris === galeido_ is now known as galeido [07:45] Notify me [07:47] hello === b is now known as Guest62513 === Mosene is now known as mosene [08:03] is there a manpage to the tftp in the busybox on a netboot image?

[08:19] Netek: you would need to ask people familiar with those apps. [08:20] ducasse I will make more research === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [08:25] Hi all! Got a new HP ProLiant DL120 Gen9 with a SmartHBA H240 controller, which is certified by hp/Ubuntu. Unfortunately, Ubuntu Server 16.04 has MASSIVE (we're talking over 14 times slower!) IO Problems. [08:26] Any idea? 14.04 on same hw is a bit faster than my four year old server (with 4 VMs and 8GB RAM), but as soon as I use 16.04, io bound processes are not getting over 5% CPU utilization, becaus top says "disk wait" (D) [08:26] (in the state column is a 'D') [08:27] in numbers: apt-get install gitlab-ce on 14.04 roughly 1min - on 16.04 it takes more than 17min! [08:31] Jansemon: certifications are per-release. Is there a 16.04 certification? [08:32] Jansemon: it might be worth trying the latest upstream kernel: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [08:32] yes, I think so... [08:33] <\9> rbasak: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201509-19593/ looks like it [08:34] Good morning all [08:35] I was planning on buying this laptop for my grandma and then wiping the internal SSD and installing Ubuntu for her: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Zenbook-UX305CA-FB005T-Windows-802-11ac/dp/B019KZVESM/ [08:35] I found this on the community wiki and it all seems fine: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook [08:35] Is that guide applicable to the zenbook that I've selected?

[08:40] Venko: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Lenovo/ [08:40] Aha awesome [08:40] hi [08:40] hi [08:41] Now I need to find her a new similar spec laptop on Amazon.co.uk that's a similar price! [08:41] welcome [08:41] Hi [08:41] Venko: L460 perhaps [08:43] bollo: It seems like Amazon doesn't personally sell them in the UK [08:43] d'oh === DerRaiden_ is now known as DerRaiden === _boris2015 is now known as iamboris [08:50] hi [08:50] anyone into bitcoin? [08:50] nur_: i guess the #bitcoin people are [08:50] ok [08:57] !Hola mundo¡ [09:01] slm [09:04] Jansemon: have you tried running iotop? Should tell you which process is using the disk when you are having problems. If the hardware is supported and you are having this problem on a fresh install, you might want to try reporting this as a bug [09:09] I have an HFS+ usb memory carrying data for an OS X and an Ubuntu 14.04 hosts, when I insert the usb memory into the ubuntu computer it gets automounted in /media/myuser/ but in order to write on that I have to specify force,rw as options, also while doing this I get wrong permissions even if I'm passing uid=,gid= options to mount [09:10] question: is there a way to assign specific options to an UUID while keeping automounting? [09:10] i.e. I like the fact that the media is under /media/myuser/ but I'd like to add specific options rather than putting an entry in fstab and having to manually mount the device [09:10] hfs+ doesnt have proper proper write support. that is why its read only on default. [09:11] I read about the journaling thing [09:11] I'm now removing the journaling from the fs [09:11] but the question still applies, is there a way to "customize" automount on a per-UUID basis? [09:11] anddam: in what way customize it [09:11] I understand that's not the best FS to exchange data between multiple computers but gives osx limitations it's the best option I found [09:12] fat32 [09:12] ikonia: by specifying "when this UUID gets automounted add this mount options" [09:12] ikonia: it's not a very good option [09:12] why is fat32 not a good option / [09:12] ikonia: fat32 doesn't retain uid/gid/modes AFAIR [09:12] you can use autofs, udev or even fstab should work [09:13] uid/gid modes ? [09:13] autofs is the automounter [09:13] no, uid, gid, and modes [09:13] anddam: it has no permissions, but then hfs+ has no safe write [09:13] hello [09:13] as in UFS attributes [09:13] I'd rather have no permissions than damaged file systems [09:13] i can't find a useful documentation on how to setup kickstart and pxe [09:13] ikonia: what do you mean by "safe" write? [09:14] I want to make a static network configuration in the pxeboot, to avoid any "automatic network detection" [09:14] anddam: write is not stable in hfs [09:14] hence why it' snot enabled [09:14] so far it's written anything flawlessy, I understand it's not considered "stable" but it does the job [09:14] well, a long as it worked once for you, that means it's totally safe to use going forward [09:14] ok, I'll look into write status for hfs in order to be more aware [09:15] I'm looking for some sort of kernel append command [09:19] So, I created a folder call Stuff. I did a find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv {} Stufff \; That worked, however all of my files are in a file now. HOW to recover? [09:19] uhm [09:19] jeffrey_f: nope, all your files are deleted except the last one [09:19] i con't think you can [09:19] jeffrey_f: restore from backup [09:19] jeffrey_f: restore from your backup [09:20] Dang fat finger! always smashing an extra key!!! I thought so. Thanks [09:21] deja dup?? [09:22] well crap, that wasn't loaded anyway. Never mind! [09:26] jeffrey_f: If you plan on moving many files often I can also recommend you learn a little bit of bash [09:27] blut_: I know bash, i just fat fingered an extra character onto my destination. BUT I hear ya! More like double check before smashing the enter key [09:27] jeffrey_f: I constantly use stuff like 'for file in *regex*; do sort ${file} ${file##*.}_srt.dat; done' [09:27] or that [09:28] hiiiiiiiiiiii [09:28] jeffrey_f: with stuff like that I ensure tab completion works.. a slash on the end of that path would have saved you :P [09:28] G'night all [09:28] Triffid_Hunter: that can become really tricky on ssh commands [09:29] i have some trouble with a fresh postgresql-9.5 installation running on LTS-16.04 (server). for some reason it's not possible to connect to it (using the stuff here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostgreSQL) [09:29] any help/ideas are greatly appreciated. :) [09:32] Had a hardware failure, so Dell guy came round and swapped a bunch of parts. Hard drive is removed. I put it in a caddy and connected it to another laptop (macbook pro), and I can only see my Win7 partition, not my Ubuntu partition. [09:32] I need to see Ubuntu partition to recover various files. [09:32] C_minus: then put it in something that understands linux filesystems, ie a linux bobx [09:33] box* [09:33] Ah I see. In that case I might try booting to Ubuntu Live USB environment because everything else around me is Apple (how awful, right?!) [09:34] C_minus: heh it seems to work for some, I can't use it though :P [09:36] So the same spec thinkpad is about £400 more [09:37] So back onto https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Zenbook-UX305CA-FB005T-Windows-802-11ac/dp/B019KZVESM/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AsusZenbook [09:38] Does it look OK to you guys? [09:38] Venko: there is a good reason for that. thinkpads tend to use quality components. [09:39] ducasse: But these day Lenovo tends to make Thinkpads "gay" computers [09:40] ducasse: I tried my best to keep my X61 usable for years, but then had to give up when my 6th battery failed. [09:40]
  • how can I install multiple font files from terminal? [09:41]
  • I'm trying fc-cache but it keeps failing [09:41] TanNguyen: dont use gay as an insult. thanks. [09:41] ducasse: I hate to say this, but these day it's very hard to find a better machine for *nix lover other than a mac [09:41] TanNguyen: how about anything with pageup and home keys? [09:41] k11: please don't misunderstand me, I don't use "gay" as an insult, I mean the machine is not as durable as before [09:42] Hi all. Can I also ask a question about Ubuntu phone in this room? [09:42] Venko: those specs look good to me, except i can't find the wifi chipset. the rest should be fine. [09:42] Multbrelch: try #ubuntu-touch [09:43] ducasse: Thanks for checking for me <3 [09:43] ducasse, it seems that nobody is there [09:43] may be I have to wait [09:43] TanNguyen: its still a bad usage of the word. which we dont want in here. [09:43] I agree about quality components but I don't have the budget for my grandma here. Spending £1,200 on her is a little too much for me for a laptop that she won't use all that much. [09:43]
  • maybe I should ask linux about ubuntu questions [09:43] Venko: no problem, but i would try to find out about the wifi before buying. bad wifi chipsets can give you terrible headaches. [09:43] Triffid_Hunter: I use a new key binding, and iTerm is capable of setting key binding in your terminal if you need a GUI [09:44] k11: Sorry about that. I will make sure that do not happen again [09:44] And sorry to everyone here who was insulted by my tactless usage of the word [09:45] TanNguyen: ok, thanks. [09:45] is there any way to unload the i915 module if kms depends on it ? [09:46] ducasse: Any idea how I'd go about that? [09:47] Venko: Why your grandma would need SSD and other fance stuff is beyond me but sure go ahead :) At work I use a £450 thinkpad that has ubuntu working perfectly ootb [09:47] Venko: check the manufacturer website, or contact them or the seller and ask? [09:47] Venko: what about a chromebook for grandma? [09:48] anddam: She loves her Ubuntu though. She's been updating it on her own on a really really old desktop for about 6 years without any of my help. She's been using Ubuntu for about 8 years in total. [09:48] I'm in a live USB environment, got my old HDD from dead computer connected thru a caddy and an external HDD to back up recovered files to. When copying through Nautilus it says I don't have permission to copy. [09:49] How do either navigate to the dead laptop's HDD through terminal, or get a sudo-powered Nautilus. I'm copying from my dead laptop's old home directory. [09:49]
  • done [09:49] *Trying to copy [09:50] C_minus: use a mount command with -o ro,uid=.... to mount the partition properly [09:50] the "ro" ensures you only use the old partition as read-only [09:50] and the uid=... will gives you proper access to the partition [09:50] ducasse: https://www.asus.com/uk/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenBook-UX305CA/ this is the asus listing but I don't see any actual chipset [09:51] Venko: There is a discussion in Reddit about the bad wifi chipset here https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/3svv6s/dont_buy_the_new_ux305ca_zenbooks_yet/ [09:52] TanNguyen: "EDIT: As of February 2016, the laptop works great if you use Linux Kernel 4.5. I'm using it as my main laptop and did not experience crashes with the 4.5 kernel. The touchpad works great. The brightness buttons are not working but you can set the brightness from software or by defining a custom hotkey for it. I did not test the HDMI output." [09:52] Does that meant it works now? [09:53] Venko: with an unsupported kernel. [09:55] D'oh. Why is the hardware support not reaching Ubuntu's kernel? [09:55] Venko: it will after 16.10 gets released. [09:56] ducasse: OK cheers [09:56] join [09:56] Venko: 4.5 kernel will get supports when 16.10 gets released https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support [09:56] help [09:56] I don't know what to do. I don't want to spend more than £600 really but I don't want her to have a crappy laptop. [09:57] Venko: kernels from later releases are made available for lts releases. [09:57] ping google.com [09:57] Venko: But maybe that is ok, your grandma kept an Ubuntu machine running for 6 years, I think she might like living on the edge with a new kernel? [09:58] TanNguyen: Well I want to leave her able to just keep using the updates every six months herself ideally. [10:00] TanNguyen just to be clear you mean somethign like "sudo mount /dev/sdb5 -o ro, uuid="1234567..." [10:02] C_minus: - Find out your UID by echo $UID [10:03] C_minus: - Find out the partition name by dmesg (look among the last lines, you will see something line sdb: sdb1, sdb2 [10:03] or 'lsblk'. [10:04] C_minus: - Mount that partition as readonly for your user by sudo mount -o ro,uid=YOUR_UID_HERE,ext4(or2) /dev/sdb... MOUNT_POINT [10:04] yes, lsblk will work too. I had some problem with my SD card reader once when I tried lsblk to find the partition so after that I just went back to dmesg [10:05] Sorry you might need to spoon feed me a little more. Here's my output for blkid and lsblk. The dead laptop's brain I want to recover files from is sdb5 http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637066/ [10:05] '-t ext4', it doesn't go in among the options. [10:06] ducasse: Thank you for that [10:06] TanNguyen: easy mistake to make :) [10:07] So I want to mount that parition referenced on line 20, in order to recover files from it. [10:07] And i'm in live usb environment. Which command do I need exactly? [10:08] C_minus_: Please paste the result of command "mount" [10:10] [10:13] C_minus_: something like 'sudo mount /dev/sdb5 -o ro,uid=1000 /mnt' if you want to mount it on /mnt. [10:14] Thanks TanNguyen and ducasse (sorry if I missed your communications, I got disconnected) [10:14] C_minus_: Use this to mount the old partition to ~/old_drive http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637285/ [10:14] guys can i install win xp to my raspberry pi 3? [10:14] Thanks so either of those will work? Also, I had a folder encrypted with encfs on there. Will I be able to recover the contents? [10:15] basar: probably [10:15] C_minus: And where do you plant to copy your files to? Another external hard drive, or a flash drive? [10:15] *plan [10:15] thanks [10:15] basar: rpi has an arm processor. [10:15] qemu [10:15] sure, but not native. [10:16] basar: you can try Win10 IoT, but you will have only powershell access [10:16] TanNguyen I have an external hard drive, listed as sdc1 in that paste I sent you earlier. [10:16] now i have ubuntu mate on my rpi [10:16] C_minus: I see, in that case, use the same procedure describe as above to mount sdc1 as rw with YOUR UID [10:16] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQOP29yLOxQ [10:16] and you are good to go [10:16] basar: ^^ [10:17] TanNguyen I tried your command, it said http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637339/ [10:17] Can\t find it in nautilus under /old_drive === Poke95|away is now known as Poke95 [10:18] C_minus: 'sudo umount /dev/sdb5' first, then the command TanNguyen gave you. [10:18] C_minus: umount it first with 'sudo umount /dev/sdb5' [10:18] but ducasse is so quick, man :D [10:18] Squall5668: well, if I do an apt-get install gitlab-ce, there's only one process - dpkg. That one is the only one using the disk and it doesn't go beyond 5% cpu utilization, since the state column of that process always shows 'D' (disk wait) [10:19] ducasse TanNguyen now it said http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637368/ [10:21] we need the fs type of /dev/sdb5 [10:21] Sorry but I have to be AFK now, ducasse, can you please continue with C_minus [10:22] C_minus: 'lsblk -f | grep sdb5' [10:23] sudo file -sL /dev/sdb5 [10:23] file -Ls is nice, I use that fairly often === Pokefan95 is now known as Guest43942 [10:24] Thanks ducasse I keep getting disconnected. it returned the line ├─sdb5 /media/ubuntu/8842230d-31cc-48c8-9df3-27705abc8a3b [10:24] C_minus_: did you put in -f? [10:25] as you typed it === Guest43942 is now known as Poke95 [10:26] C_minus_: then try 'sudo file -Ls /dev/sdb5' - see if that gives you filesystem type. [10:27] ducasse it said: "/dev/sdb: x86 boot sector" [10:28] C_minus_: 'sdb5', not 'sdb'. [10:29] ducasse, sorry here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637504/ [10:30] C_minus_: ok, 'sudo umount /dev/sdb5 ; sudo mount -o ro,uid=999 -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 old_drive' [10:32] ducasse thanks but it gave the same error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17637543/ [10:33] C_minus_: did your drive die or something? [10:34] Ben64 not to my knowledge. [10:34] C_minus_: ok, 'sudo umount /dev/sdb5 ; sudo mount -o ro -t ext4 /dev/sdb5 old_drive' [10:35] C_minus_: and what does dmesg | tail say? [10:35] ducasse Thanks so much. Although when I navigate to old_drive and try to copy and paste stuff in Nautilus, it syas I don't have permissions to read it. [10:36] Should I sudo copy stuff through terminal instead? [10:36] C_minus_: i know, ext4 doesn't support uid=... it seems. use sudo to copy. [10:37] what? it says it can't mount it [10:37] Ben64 No ducasse's last instruction seemed to work. [10:37] oh [10:39] Do I need to mount the external hard drive that I'm storing recovered files in too? [10:40] C_minus_: it isn't visible in nautilus already? [10:41] ducasse No you're right it is. I just couldn't find it, but it's under /media/ubuntu/HITACHI [10:41] C_minus_: you mentioned ecryptfs - that can be a bit of a hassle. did you store the unwrap passphrase as it told you to? [10:43] goddamn. I just said "sudo cp The_Directory /media/ubuntu/HITACHI/My_Backups" and it just said "cp: omitting directory 'The_Directory' and copied nothing. === Pokefan9- is now known as Poke95 [10:43] C_minus_: 'cp -r' [10:44] C_minus_: you might also want -p to preserve permissions. [10:45] where does the -p flag come in the cp command? [10:46] C_minus_: 'cp -rp source_dir destination' [10:46] ducasse (oh and don't worry about the encfs thing, I just remembered I backed that up already. phew, somebody up there likes me). [10:47] C_minus_: good, because without the unwrap passphrase that data would effectively be lost :) [10:48] C_minus_: wait, encfs? that would be ok, but not ecryptfs. [10:48] ducasse it copied a few things, but for others it's running through saying "failed to preserve ownership for..." [10:49] C_minus_: you would need to run it with sudo to set permissions. [10:49] I did :( [10:50] C_minus_: what sort of filesystem are you copying onto? [10:52] NTFS I think [10:53] C_minus_: well, then permissions won't be set. you would need to use chown/chmod/chgrp later. [10:53] C_minus_: i assumed you were copying to another ext4, my fault. [10:54] ducasse Yeah man, you really dropped the ball on that one ;) [10:54] C_minus_: honest mistake :) [10:54] ducasse I'm joking, I appreciate your help immensely [10:55] why not tar it up to preserve permissions [10:55] hi all [10:55] Can I tar the entire home folder, and unzip it somewhere else later? [10:56] I have a good 70GB of stuff in there, so it will take ages I guess, if it's possible at all. [10:57] need some guidance on to avoid DNS resolving [10:57] C_minus_: 'sudo tar cfp /mountpoint/of/backup/backup.tar source_dir' [10:57] you do not want a 70GB tar file [11:01] Bizzare. Certain files, I can just drag and drop with Nautilus. Others raise this permissions problem :( [11:03] C_minus_: depends on the permissions on the files, some must be world-readable. [11:04] C_minus_: what files? [11:05] k1l I can't see any pattern to the files that are allowed and the ones that aren't. [11:06] except 2-3 files everything in your home should be owned by your user. if not you messed too much with sudo [11:06] k1l: he's copying his old homedir from a live usb. [11:07] Well for example, this directory containing video files - piano tutorials that I downloaded from a mediafire clone site. [11:07] And then several .xml files in my Python projects, that are automatically generated by my Pycharm IDE. [11:08] Oh and some of the .py scripts too. Can you see why I can't determine a pattern? [11:09] C_minus_: you are able to copy files that are world-readable without sudo, as i said. [11:10] I used "sudo cp -rp Dir_To_Backup /media/ubuntu/HITACHI/Backup_Dir" [11:10] I`m using ubuntu 14.04 the problem is when I`m connecting via a VPN client and after disconnecting that VPN runs in the background n edit the DNS of the machine , it over rights the resolv.conf file also any suggestions to stop this [11:11] C_minus_: yes, with sudo you copy everything, but nautilus is running as a diffrent userid. [11:11] I can't even navigate into this directory it says "bash: cd: The_Directory: Permission denied" [11:12] i need help [11:12] please [11:12] some one [11:12] C_minus_: from nautilus? because you don't have permissions! nautilus is not running as root. [11:13] ducasse no, this is in a terminal. How can I use a cd command in nautilus? [11:13] C_minus_: oh, bash? 'sudo -i' first. [11:13] should use rsync though [11:16] Hello, I'm back. so C_minus is still in the process [11:17] ok I did that sudo -i thing... [11:17] And it allowed me to navigate into the directory that I was previously disallowed from entering... [11:17] But when I tried to copy that directory, it copied a few contents but says "operation not permitted" for most [11:18] How can an operation not allowed for root. Strange [11:18] C_minus_: does it copy the files but fail to set permissions, perhaps? [11:19] is there a fast way to list directories? I am looking for something better than 'l */ -d' [11:19] here's the actual output for that copy operation. As I say, it copied a few files but most of them were disallowed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/17638250/ [11:20] blut: better in what way? [11:20] C_minus_: run cp without -p. [11:20] shorter [11:20] blut: make an alias [11:20] write function [11:20] i need a help cant install .run file teamspeak [11:20] right [11:20] C_minus: As ducasse said above, omit the -p switch, you won't be able to set the permission on NTFS file system [11:20] C_minus: try cp -r source destination [11:20] !teamspeak | walrider [11:20] walrider: teamspeak is the proprietry VoIP software see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TeamSpeak For a open source alternative consider using Mumble http://mumble.sourceforge.net/ [11:21] I was just unsure if there maybe was something like lsdir [11:21] walrider: make sure to make it executable [11:21] ducasse so just use the "-r" flag instead of "-rp"? [11:21] C_minus_: yes. [11:21] yes [11:21] i have done executing by chmod -x but when i run ./file.run then it says command not found [11:21] C_minus_: you don't even need -r for files, only dirs. [11:22] walrider: use tab-completion to make sure not to have typos [11:22] walrider: chmod +x [11:22] walrider: and its chmod +x [11:22] walrider: -x removes execute bit. [11:22] walrider: what does ''file ./file.run'' say? the file command detects what type of content the file has [11:23] ducasse but that directory "Fu.of.Ne-So.Ke" does contain sub-directories. [11:23] ok let me try again === Poke95 is now known as Poke95|away === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [11:23] And in general what would be most helpful is to be able to copy the entire home folder at once. [11:23] ducasse oh but jeez, it worked! I don't understand the cp command at all :/ [11:24] C_minus_: that's what i said, use -r for dirs, not needed for single files. [11:24] it is a dir [11:26] Apparently if I used pv to copy my old home directory instead of cp, I would get a progress bar (the home folder is huge) and I would get new permissions for all the files (which is what I want here, right?) [11:27] C_minus_: you can also use cp -rv, that will print out each file as they are copied. you still won't preserve permissions. [11:28] C_minus_: you cant use pv instead of cp. you need to pipe thought pv to get a progressbar. which is even more complicated. [11:28] i dont really understand what is making such a trouble copying data. [11:28] You could use find, pv and something like cpio or afio all together to get a nice progress bar with permissions preserved as required and so on, but I wouldn't recommend it without understanding how that pipeline would work. [11:29] rsync source destination [11:29] job done [11:30] rsync also has a --progress option [11:30] Since the home dir is quite large - 70GB, a progress bar would be nice. I wanted to say that earlier but since you had started cp command I think it would be better to leave it run [11:31] k1l: background - laptop hardware failure, Dell guy swapped out a bunch of parts, removed hard drive and I put it in a cradle. Now running in Live environment trying to recover my home directory, and getting all kinds of permissions errors that confuse me [11:31] Well I just started a cp -rv. Gonna let it run. [11:31] an rsync command with --progress will give you progress bar + current disk writing/reading throughput [11:31] how does a laptop = live environment [11:31] ahh you mean live media [11:31] For my entire 70GB home folder :/ [11:31] C_minus_: it's a 2 minute job to setup [11:31] C_minus_: you are getting permission errors because you are copying to ntfs. we've been over this. [11:31] rsycn /your/external/drive /home/username [11:32] job done [11:32] not sure why this is taking hours to even start [11:32] Well it's working now. Thanks everybody. [11:32] even nautilus should have worked. and file permissions are kept, but maybe you need to set the owner:group afterwards to the proper uid. [11:32] k1l: not on ntfs :) [11:33] k11: He didn't mount the destination file system with proper UID so nautilus didn't work under his user. And because it's NTFS he couldn't preserver the file owner:group [11:33] if it's ntfs - why is this being done with linux [11:33] k11: ducasse instructed him to use sudo -i for a root shell to copy everything [11:33] ikonia: he's copying from ext4 to ntfs. [11:33] that seems bad [11:34] ikonia: because the source files are from an ext4 filesystem [11:34] and pointless why would you copy it to ntfs === Poke95|away is now known as Poke95 [11:35] ikonia: he needed to be root, as the live environment runs under a different uid than the source files are owned by. [11:35] doesn't explain why the target is nfts [11:35] you're not going to run a linux home partion on nfts [11:36] ikonia i'm not trying to run a linux home partition on ntfs, just back up my data. [11:36] ikonia: he needed the files available on ntfs. [11:36] ntfs will mess with the file permissionsand it will be super_slow anyway [11:36] C_minus_: why not back it up to ext then ? [11:36] I'm not understanding why this is being made hard by using ntfs [11:36] ikonia, i'm constrained by the hard drives lying around my house. [11:37] C_minus_: how is that a constraint [11:37] partiton/format a disk [11:37] 10 seconds work [11:37] ikonia: What if he already has some data on the disk? [11:37] ikonia yeah partition, that would have been a good idea. unfortunately i am painfully stupid. [11:37] partition the disk [11:37] ikonia: It's a 1TB drive, hard to imagine it's a blank disk [11:37] TanNguyen: partition the disk [11:38] Well I've never done this before. So before beginning I didn't realise that I would encounter these problems. I guess that's why I didn't just decide to partition the disk out of the blue. [11:39] what kind of X is Xubuntu? Is it XFCE? Thinking of where I can download themes [11:39] xfce yes [11:39] thanks [11:40] xds, xfce-look.org [11:40] thanks [11:54] Is there an "DialPad" Software for Ubuntu 16.04 xenial for use with an connected Bluetooth Mobile Phone?

[11:57] vivekp: 15.04 is dead. you need to upgrade to 15.10 asap === nameless1 is now known as nameless [12:00] hello, I am trying apt-rdepends and a few direct deps are missing from the list, `apt-cache depends` shows all the correct deps. The particular missing dependency from `apt-rdepends` is tagged as "automatic" by an `apt search` so maybe `apt-rdepends` does not pickup automatic deps?? [12:01] k1l: I know but I'm always afraid to upgrade ever since I did it last time (14.04 -> 15.04) and had to bear huge data loss without any back up anywhere :/ [12:01] So, I usually backup everything somewhere and do a clean install to be safe [12:02] vivekp: well. 15.04 is not an LTS and only got 9 month support. so if you dont want to upgrade, going to 15.04 was a mistake. just upgrade twice now to 15.10 and then to 16.04 and you will have a LTS again. [12:02] upgrades get automated testings. so they do work if you didnt leave the ubuntu setup to much. === messi is now known as Guest19589 === Guest19589 is now known as messi1992 [12:04] has someone bought a good wireless usb card recently which works with 14.04 , supports ad-hoc out of the box, and is at least 150Mbps or greater?

[12:09] so "change ./bashrc" doesnt do it [12:09] rdz: apt-get changelog [12:09] django_: put it into ~/.profile [12:09] Ben64, where do i plae it in there [12:09] django_: what did you try exactly?

I've not been able to use "mysql -u root -p" since yesterday. [13:01] I use KUbuntu16.04 [13:01] Please help. [13:02] hggdh thanks, I'll look into that. On the surface it looks just like what I need === liz is now known as rany [13:05] panina you also might want to read into filesystems with snapshots like zfs/btrfs or such [13:06] swati_27 if you go ahead and provide some details you can increase your chances that someone knows a solution to your problem... [13:07] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/XqEnZ0hd/ [13:07] mysqld.sock doesn't exist on my system. [13:09] swati_27 is the service running? [13:09] swati_27 hmm is the mysql service running? "systemctl status mysql" [13:09] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/Ii1eW4Kz/ === rany is now known as liz === liz is now known as rany [13:10] Strange is it suddenly stopped yesterday. [13:11] sudo cat /var/log/mysql/error.log [13:12] swati_27: did you edit my.cnf or change anything related to mysql? File permissions etc? [13:12] also: what did you do to it yesterday when it stopped? [13:13] It's a long text. Unable to send here. [13:13] why not just keep using pastebin like you have already [13:14] and just paste what it's contained since the time it broke [13:14] mguy: I'm even unable to open my.cnf . When I try to open it, mariadb.cnf opens. === T is now known as Guest14368 [13:15] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/FZQT35jJ/error%20log [13:15] swati_27: what is the output of: ls -l /etc/mysql/my.cnf [13:15] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/hEFdKMKE/ [13:16] i have been searching linux distro which is the lightweight one to cover my old PC, any suggestion? [13:17] !lubuntu | craptalk [13:17] craptalk: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [13:17] Lubuntu? Xubuntu? [13:18] de-facto: i tried it several times, and just no changes, still slow [13:18] Hello@all does anyone tested removing "gnome-*" packages from 16.04 any problems? broken desktop? [13:18] lubuntu, LXDE, XFCE, xubuntu [13:18] exit [13:19] craptalk hmm depends on your system of course and if you installed the correct drivers (e.g. GPU graphics drivers and such) [13:20] mguy: ?? [13:20] craptalk, what cpu does your older computer have? [13:20] craptalk also what exactly is slow? program loading (maybe HDD)? the GUI (GFX)? only if you load many or big programs (RAM/SWAP)? etc pp [13:20] swati_27: So are you going to tell us what you did? [13:20] de-facto: indeed but i think with my core 2 duo chip, and 2 GB ram, should do me good [13:20] swati_27: it looks liek you had two mysql servers going [13:20] swati_27: you've set a passwsord for the root user for some reason [13:21] thats a newer machine to me.. [13:21] mguy: I just killed some mysqld processes as others suggested. [13:21] de-facto: multitasking even i just opened few programs, but strangely i changed to windows 10, and it is better [13:21] ubuntu 16.04 runs on my old pent 4 3.06 single core just fine [13:21] but i just love linux [13:21] mguy: I installed mariadb again and I didn't set password for root user. [13:22] mguy: How to stop those servers? [13:22] craptalk hmm that sounds strange indeed, im my experience ubuntu always was blazing fast (in comparison to windows on same machine) [13:23] :| [13:23] Steam won't start for me [13:24] swati_27: what server did you install? [13:24] swati_27: this didn't happen from you just killing a mysql server [13:25] mariadb client server [13:25] client server ? [13:25] mguy: Then? [13:25] swati_27: And did you install from source or apt-get or what exactly did you do [13:26] swati_27: If you just show us the .bash_history we can tell you what you need to do [13:26] craptalk does it access the harddisk when you multitask (e.g. the hdd led)? you can also try to profile it (e.g. "free", "top", "iotop" etc, read the logs, "dmesg" and all those to see if something went wrong/is missing for full performance) [13:26] sudo apt-get install mariadb-server [13:26] mguy: sure. How can i get that? [13:26] swati_27: did you have a sql server running before you issued that command? [13:27] yes. I uninstalled it and then installed this one again. [13:27] I use mariadb from long time. [13:27] de-facto: of course, cause i installed progam on my HDD, then it is accessing the HDD, isn't it? [13:28] swati_27: what do you get if you type 'telnet localhost 3306' [13:28] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/f6ByX1GH/ [13:29] craptalk background of my question: when you have many programs open and the RAM is not sufficient to hold them all the kernel begins to swap to HDD to provide the memory necessary for operation, but hdd is very slow compared to RAM [13:29] you need .bash_history for last how many commands? there're actually lot.. [13:30] swati_27: just the ones around your install of mariadb [13:30] hello there. I've disabled wifi on my ubuntu 16 to save battery. now when I click on enable wifi I got a tick in "enabled" but there are no wifi in range (witch is false, I've my rounter in less than a meter). how do I solve this? :) [13:31] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/VIoiUzJ9/ [13:31] If you need more, I'll upload file here. [13:32] de-facto: the slowness of HDD is how? according to its type like, using SSD or normal HDD? [13:32] swati_27: so you never removed mysql [13:32] mguy: Also, I installed it the same way earlier. [13:32] mguy: I just removed removed mariadb using synaptic. [13:33] sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-common libmysqlclient18 [13:33] mguy: 187MB is freed. I made a mistake. [13:34] swati_27: now install mariadb and try to start it [13:34] mguy: Thank you for your time. [13:36] swati_27: did it work? [13:37] mguy: Just installing. I'll let you know in a while. === Groucho_NL is now known as Guest9410 === Guest9410 is now known as Grouch [13:38] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/p5c7c2d9/ [13:39] swati_27: you need to give mysql a user and password [13:39] mysql -u username -p [13:39] i didn't set any password for root earlier also. [13:40] mariadb is used by digiKam (software on which i work) and I can't set root password [13:40] did you run mysql_secure_installation [13:41] yes sudo mysql_secure_installation [13:41] did you try a blank password just to see if it works [13:41] otherwise reset it - https://www.liberiangeek.net/2014/10/reset-root-password-mariadb-centos-7/ [13:41] yes. I pressed enter for no password === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [13:42] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/XuylhBEZ/ [13:43] craptalk yes hdd is mechanical and needs to move heads for access, so that takes more time than addressing flash memory in ssds. you need to find out what exactly hurts your performance and then what you can do about it. SWAP is just a wild guess since you did not provide any details [13:43] mguy: Though "sudo mysql -u root" works [13:44] de-facto: you mean i should increase swap value or something? since linux needs it for its virtual? [13:45] nope you need to find out where it spends time and lets you waiting on response [13:46] the more details you can find out the better your chances for finding a cure or alternative to current behavior [13:51] If i download a .deb package from http://www.google.com/chrome/ and try to install it via software center it wont work (16.04) [13:51] It starts installing and directly after that stops again [13:52] Dirkos: do you have all updates installed? [13:52] k1l: yes did apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade [13:52] its a fresh install [13:52] did you run apt-get update first? [13:52] k1l: ofc [13:52] ok, just making sure. [13:53] there was an issue with the software center and 3rd party debs. but that was fixed with an update. if that still doesnt work try to use dpkg on the terminal: "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/chrome.deb" === thebaer is now known as bear|away [13:59] k1l: works indeed, still a bit odd though [13:59] Dirkos: maybe the new softwarecenter needs a relogin or reboot. i dont use that so i dont know. i just know that the issue was fixed with 3rd party .debs [14:00] ok thanks [14:08] Hi all, sanity check: has something changed from 14.04 to 16.04 regarding gcc? It's vague I know but we have a problem where compiling a C file with a "#define pi 3.14159" fails with 'error: expected ;, ' or ) before numeric constant' while it compiles ok on 14.04. This is weird [14:08] hello [14:08] So I was just checkling if somehow this was smth known. [14:08] nschoe: Can you post the acutal C code [14:09] mguy, nope sorry it's not even on my computer. It's just a guy in the open space going crazy, we all jumped for a minute to try and help him. [14:10] If it's a standard C program it's highly unlikely that Ubuntu broke it [14:12] mguy, yes I think so too. But you know, we've come to the point where we check for invisible chars, and such things. We're back to very basic assumptions, because for god's sake, why would a #define pi 3.14159 would fail... [14:12] nschoe: who knows without seeing the code [14:13] excuse me do any budy know how playonlinx working [14:13] what do you mean, how it's working ? [14:13] mguy, yes I understand. I was just coming here to sanity-check, like "ho yeah I had the same error last week, it was just xxx". that and the fact that it works on 14.04 but not on 16.04, no other changes -_- [14:13] i'm try to run spss application on it but there's error i don't know what it mean [14:16] nschoe, works fine here [14:16] nschoe: where is the actual error, like the line after the 'error: expected identifier or '('' line [14:16] lyze, yeah on my computer too :/ [14:16] nschoe: there should be a little caret pointing up [14:17] mguy, well gcc reports the error on the line where the #define is [14:17] nschoe: You have to give us more information. Like what file it is, etc [14:17] mguy, but I've seen that it should not necessary be trusted (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5419406/problem-with-macros-define-showing-expected-identifier-before-numeric-consta) [14:17] mguy, yes I know, sorry. I'm currently cloning the repo on my computer to test it (and hopefully give you more material) [14:18] mguy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/17643687/ [14:18] lyze: right, but it looks like the same problem as this https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/prismmodelchecker/gtVatHAir90 [14:19] hi [14:19] Viet nam [14:19] But don't worry I know this is not a C support chan, I was just coming "in case" it was a known issue (I know this was 0% chance) [14:20] VN no1 [14:20] mguy, indeed, this is similar ^^ [14:20] hi [14:21] Suspend mode bugs, tried different kernels without success. It does wake up but screen does not turn on nor do any USB devices. What can it be? [14:21] ^^ [14:21] hi [14:24] nschoe: I think I might have found something [14:25] mguy, you'd be the hero of the day ^^ [14:25] Hi, does Ubuntu source ~/.xinitrc while starting up? [14:26] not by default [14:26] mguy, so? [14:27] nschoe: This is the patch that fixed the compile problem on that link I sent you [14:28] nschoe: but it deals with some other function, isnan [14:28] nschoe: anyway here's the svn history of the patch http://paste.ubuntu.com/17644071/ [14:29] mguy, thanks! [14:29] nschoe: I'm just wondering where that PI #define is being used elsehwere in your friends code [14:29] mguy, I'm gcc -E + grepping as we speak ^^ [14:34] Can anyone please help me install Ubuntu on my laptop? I am a special ed teacher near Mountain View. I am not working this summer. My laptop was running 10. But now it is stuck in some kind of loop. Thanks [14:34] Hi does lubuntu have the repositories of lubuntu? [14:34] the second is ubuntu* [14:35] I have heard good things about Ubuntu [14:35] @Elise001_ if this is your first linux than yes it's a good start [14:36] @Elise001_ follow this to make your install usb http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [14:37] ioria: Out of curiosity, how does the display manager start? [14:38] kshenoy, lightdm [14:38] b0red, @ isn't needed on irc, the nick is sufficient [14:38] BluesKaj haha cheers [14:39] Hum I've noticed we use colorgcc, I' [14:39] ll look into that [14:39] ioria: Right, how does that start? Or, what starts it? [14:41] kshenoy, it's a service started (if configured) by init [14:41] kshenoy, xinit === Hirnblaehung is now known as Hirnblaehung_ === Hirnblaehung_ is now known as Hirnblaehung [14:42] ioria: Got it. Thanks. Ok, back to the original question. If I want to source ~/.xinitrc on startup, what would be a good way to do it? Source it in Startup applications? [14:43] kshenoy, no need for it anymore, i think [14:43] kshenoy, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xinitrc [14:44] kshenoy, no, you need a .xinitrc in your home [14:45] ioria: Ok, basically I have some setxkbmap and xcape calls in there that I want to source [14:45] kshenoy, i use it for configure some window manager, like twm [14:47] kshenoy, maybe his can help http://askubuntu.com/questions/177824/remapping-caps-lock-to-control-and-escape-not-the-usual-way [14:47] For those who followed the #define pi problem, we've managed to "solve" it by #undef pi before #include and #define pi 3.14159 after. Currently trying to see if #define pi is in gst/gst.h... [14:48] nschoe: :) Let me know what you find [14:48] mguy, http://www.mit.edu/afs.new/athena/astaff/source/src-9.3/third/gstreamer/gst/gst.h apparently no #define pi in there... [14:49] ioria: Hmm, he put it in .xprofile. Thanks, I'll try that === zaz is now known as Guest71503 [14:49] kshenoy, good luck [14:49] nschoe: can you pastebin the whole compile error [14:50] mguy, I'm asking the guy. [14:51] mguy, "/path/to/source.c:100: error: expected ';', ',' or ')' before numeric constant" === Researcher-- is now known as Researcher- [14:57] Rumors were that MS was porting Edge to Ubuntu this month. Anything on the Ubuntu radar? [14:59] Thank you, b0red. [14:59] Elise001_ if you run into any problems, a quick google may help or just ask in here [15:01] jhutchins source? [15:02] OK on the other side of the spectrum then: How do I go about picking a thinkpad for Ubuntu in the UK? [15:03] Venko: Theres a lot of good information on thinkwiki: http://www.thinkwiki.org/ [15:06] hello [15:06] nschoe: did you ask around in #c? [15:06] Pici: Thanks but how do I use this to find which are the thinkpads to consider at the moment? It has a buyer's guide but it looks really out of date. [15:07] Venko: hrm.. it was good when I was using it, which I guess was a few years ago. Sorry :/ [15:07] mguy, no actually we were focused on the fact that it worked on Ubuntu 14.04 and not 16.04. I'll hang in #c now [15:08] hello [15:09] any budy knows about how i could setup .exe applications on ubuntu [15:09] Aziz_: you need wine [15:09] not working with my application [15:09] !wine | Aziz_ [15:09] Aziz_: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [15:09] or ask the project to support ubuntu. [15:10] Hello Everyone, [15:10] it's SPSS application [15:10] Aziz_: if it doesn't work with wine you can use a virtual machine with windows. [15:12] !virtualizers | Aziz_ [15:12] Aziz_: There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications === coy is now known as Guest89683 [15:13] wine app datapase has entries for spss and pasw. so one might want to invest some effort to read it. [15:13] it always error [15:13] I have package-loss with my ubuntu server, especially with TeamSpeak. Is there an error log or so, which i can check for that kind of stuff? [15:14] Aziz_: THe preferred method is to find a native Linux application that will do the same thing. [15:15] all my works was with spss [15:15] leru, if /var/log monitors ubuntu-server [15:16] i don't know there's another app could read the spss files or not [15:16] Hey all, cant remember the name of the file where you can store username and passwords for ssh. I think its a 3 liner for each, with just un/pw/ip. Anyone know? Googled but must not be explaining correctly [15:17] !info pspp | Aziz_ [15:17] Aziz_: pspp (source: pspp): Statistical analysis tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.5-5build1 (xenial), package size 3300 kB, installed size 13975 kB [15:17] really simple linux question, how do I recursively set 640 +X for directories in a single command? [15:17] Donitzo: chmod -R [15:18] Yeah I know it's -R for recursive, but I don't know how to use +X together with 640 [15:18] if I set 640 first I can't actually set +X because it can't go through the directories anymore [15:18] Aziz_: PSPP is a program for statistical analysis of sampled data. It is a free replacement for the proprietary program SPSS. <--there you go [15:19] i saw it now it's so simple [15:20] i use spss for econometric study [15:20] pspp will not fit with the data [15:20] k === Groucho_NL is now known as Guest53924 [15:23] hello there. I've disabled wifi on my ubuntu 16 to save battery. now when I click on enable wifi I got a tick in "enabled" but there are no wifi in range (witch is false, I've my rounter in less than a meter). how do I solve this? :) === Guest53924 is now known as Grouch [15:28] Donitzo: 640 and +x is not a compatible setting (+x = 1) [15:29] Donitzo: what you probably want is 750 [15:30] akik: only for directories [15:30] +X [15:30] Donitzo: what is capital x? [15:31] only for directories [15:31] X (special execute) is not a permission in itself but rather can be used instead of x. It applies execute permissions to directories regardless of their current permissions and applies execute permissions to a file which already has at least 1 execute permission bit already set (either user, group or other). [15:31] but you are however right, I do want 750 [15:32] and then I just remove execute from files and add it to directories [15:32] remove x from all* [15:32] -x+X === alberto_80 is now known as Linuxero_80 === Ownz_ is now known as Ownz === fritz is now known as Guest18119 [15:58] u=rwX,g=rX,o= [15:58] Is there anyone with experience of playing football manager at ubuntu 16.04? [15:58] Donitzo: u=rwX,g=rX,o= would work [15:58] thank you [15:59] Donitzo: depends what the current state of things and what exactly you want to do is though, I guess. in cases where things are really messed up I've done 750 and then used `find -type f' to remove x from files [15:59] shouldn't -x+X work just as well as find? [16:00] Greetings. [16:01] Q. /etc/shadow - how is the shadow password generated in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS? The format doesn't match crypt(3) information re: Glibc notes. Thanks in advance. [16:01] * pr3d4t0r continues research. [16:02] pr3d4t0r: did you check `man shadow` ? [16:02] Donitzo: when I tested it, I ended up with execute bit still being set on files [16:03] nacc: man shadow says to check crypt(3) ;) [16:03] nacc: Yes. [16:03] dax: Exactly :) [16:03] dax: pr3d4t0r: ah sorry :) [16:04] According to crypt(3) the format is $id$salt$encrypted, but I see $blechstuffhere/andmore instead. [16:04] pr3d4t0r: mine look like $6$foo$bar/baz [16:05] which would be SHA-512 [16:05] dax: Yup. [16:05] dax: I see some boxes here that follow the crypt(3) expected result, one box doesn't. [16:05] dax: Need to check *why*, and then decide what to do about it. [16:06] although according to the bottom of crypt(3), / is a valid part of the encrypted password, so i guess it's just $6$foo$bar [16:06] pr3d4t0r: does the odd one start with $6$ still? [16:06] or is it just one $ total [16:07] dax: Dammit, I'm a moron. [16:07] dax: I was looking through the wrong filter -- the "$" were being stripped.

[16:27] joelio @ it works perfect in windows [16:27] I dont have access to the kernel [16:27] who: linux is not windows. [16:27] I mean [16:27] did'nt get [16:27] Have a great day, Everyone.

[16:27] Hello, where does Ubuntu store its Touchpad configuration? Comparing to other Distros, Touchpad behavior in Ubuntu is better, so i'd like to know what changes Ubuntu applied. Thanks in advance [16:28] yeah I know but i think there might be a chance [16:28] who: sure, but multi channel audio is generally for surround sound.. so on your laptop speakers it may not sound too goo :) [16:28] you should *maybe* be able to get 2 channel working thogh [16:28] just DTS, probably not [16:28] who: sorry, but a windows sound card driver will not work under linux. [16:29] http://pastebin.com/1ybNgBNB [16:29] i tried with wine but never worked [16:29] who: if you show some diagnostics, like lscpi output and pastebin it, I'll look [16:29] do I run grub or grub2? [16:29] 2 channel may have some support and tbh nvidia HDMI audio supports 5.1 / 7.1 etc but just knowing Dobly, linux support may be minimal [16:30] whu which audio chip ? [16:30] who ^ [16:30] Hi! I'm troubleshooting SSH login issue. Some guy on serverfault told me that he would ike to see output of ssh -vvv. What is that? [16:31] Yuri4_: outputs verbose information see `man ssh` [16:31] who: also wine is just an emulation layer, it's not really Windows (maybe in virtualbox/kmv with device passthrough.. but that's another can of worms( [16:31] nacc, I did see man ssh [16:31] oh [16:31] thanks [16:31] i am a beginner I do not know how to find audio chip in windows [16:31] but why -vvv? triple? [16:31] umoukun: i think they are aliased together (so you don't have to know) [16:31] Very verbose [16:31] Yuri4_: super verbose [16:31] @ nacc 3.19.0.61.59 0 [16:32] Yuri4_: from `man ssh`: 'Multiple -v options increase the verbosity.' [16:32] Yuri4_: hence, why I said read `man ssh` :) [16:32] Ratnesh: hrm? you don't need '@' on IRC. Not sure what you are trying to tell me. [16:32] nacc, thanks! He also requested sshd logs. How do I get thouse? [16:33] Yuri4_: i wonder if you might start sshd (presming you have some other access to the remote) without daemonizing [16:33] nacc: aliased together? [16:33] umoukun: see ls -ahl `which update-grub` `which update-grub2` [16:34] umoukun: update-grub2 is just a symlink to update-grub [16:34] oh [16:34] who: do you know command line, if so type - lspci | nc termbin.com 9999 [16:34] so any idea why its using the older kernel?

[16:34] who: in ubuntu, of course :) [16:34] nacc: shouldnt I just be able to reboot? [16:35] Ratnesh: you're using vivid? or the vivid-LTS stack on trusty? [16:35] like I said, I dont have access to the bootloader menu [16:35] version table [16:35] when I reboot, it comes up as the old one [16:35] Ratnesh: not sure why you are telling me? [16:35] Ratnesh: as in, do you have a question? [16:35] vivid???? [16:36] Ratnesh: 3.19.x is the vivid kernel (iirc) [16:36] just comment out the config for the old on in grub.cfg?

It keeps telling me the ntfs is in an unsafe state, even after checking and fixing [18:48] for both the main and data drives [18:50] Raccoon1400: FWIW, I get a similar error when I try to mount a windows partition for 7 or later, due to "quick boot" being turned on for Windows. [18:51] It kinda holds the partition in a special state of some sort, but I'm not being technically precise. [18:51] All I know is, I had to shut off "quick boot" on Windows. [18:51] CodeMouse92: I didn't have this problem with the last win10 install [18:51] s/Quick Boot/Fast Startup [18:52] Raccoon1400: I'm just wondering if the last one had Fast Startup turned off, and this one has it on [18:52] First, when I click Notifications in my panel and install all updates, it proceeds to open an "upgrading system" window that begins to download updates, when I get an error that says "Failed to download package files Check your internet connection." and gives these details: http://pastebin.com/hfMZ61RR [18:53] CodeMouse92: Maybe. Is it a good feature to have? [18:53] futurama140 [18:53] Raccoon1400: It's a good one to turn *off* if you're dual booting.

[18:57] It's technically considered dual-boot, but yeah [18:57] http://paste.ubuntu.com/17657175/ [18:57] lol [18:57] Bashing-om: [18:57] CodeMouse92: I guess, it probably just won't be used much.

[18:58] hello. my wireless in unbutu its not working. i've disable and now when I enable it ot shows up as enabled on the ticker but it does not show any networks. any hint? [18:58] Well, I discontinued my use of Windows a long time ago, haven't missed it one bit. But, back when I used it, I didn't notice much difference. [18:58] (That was on Windows 8) [18:58] CodeMouse92: it still seems pretty fast to me [18:59] I'll leave it off [18:59] ruyicruz, restart network-manager ? [18:59] hexicpyth: i use the google talk plugin with my gmail and gogole voice account so i can recieve google voice calls [18:59] All I know is, either way, most of the waiting after boot is the time period from when the desktop appears to when you can actually do something. Windows 8, 8.1, and probably 10 "backloaded" the bootup processes to create an illusion of a faster boot. It gets slower over time. [19:00] Anyway, glad that worked for you, Raccoon1400! [19:00] CodeMouse92: SSD makes the biggest boot difference [19:00] indeed. The only downside to SSD is that you cannot recover off of a failed drive.

Is that a common location for the users local tools? ...given that Ubuntu use ~/bin/ in its .profile file and all [19:05] ~/.local is the same as /home/(your username)/.local. The "." on front of it means it's a hidden file, try pressing CTRL+H [19:05] CodeMouse92: Best to backup anyway. Recovery of a failed HDD is often pretty cost prohibitive [19:05] futurama140: Because file browsers treat folders beginning with a dot or period as invisible [19:05] futurama140: press ctrl +h. that will show the hidden files and folders. (the ones with a . at the beginning) [19:05] lol, I read that totally different :) [19:06] Raccoon1400: Meh, maybe. Linux's testdisk is pretty sweet for recovery.

[19:51] Here a tail -f /var/log/syslog during the installation: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17641408/ [19:51] CodeMouse92, it looks like I don't have permissions, but, as said above, I chown'ed it and chmod'ed it, still nothing changes... [19:52] Guest15095: I haven't encountered this before, but here's one trick that might help narrow it down. Open up the Terminal and type "nautilus". That will launch the file browser, but since it's launched from the terminal, you can see error messages. Ignore everything that says GLib and GTK [19:52] And then try. [19:52] i dont want the amdgpu driver on my laptop what do i have to remove so I can remove the driver? [19:52] Bashing-om: yeah. Strange, Much to learn we have :) [19:52] currently when I try to unload the module it says it's in use [19:52] Guest15095: Does it give you any error messages in the terminal when you try and type? [19:52] CodeMouse92, even if I gksu nautilus instead I can see no error outputs whatsoever nor in the cli or gui... [19:53] Guest15095: Okay, next step, we'll try renaming through the terminal [19:53] CodeMouse92, that works [19:53] Numline1, If you look at the error/bug in the beginning - it's CRC...so an error/bug during a copy/read [19:53] already tried it [19:53] Guest15095: With or without sudo? [19:53] regardless [19:54] I'm going nuts... [19:54] Guest15095: Okay, well that rules out permissions and the file system. The problem is definitely nautilus [19:54] YankDownUnder cheers. I also found this, but I guess it's not related? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/1572608 [19:54] Launchpad bug 1572608 in samba (Ubuntu) "Samba 2:4.3.8+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.2 Reversion: CPU Soft Lock" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:54] CodeMouse92, should I wipe it and re-install it? [19:54] Guest15095: You could try a different file browser. We have dozens. [19:54] CodeMouse92, yeah but I'd like to get y [19:55] Guest15095: Mmmmm....I don't know. You could using apt-get...just sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus [19:55] I wouldn't do anything more drastic, TBH. [19:55] CodeMouse92, I was thinking it could be an Ibus issue [19:55] CodeMouse92, because, also my trackpad pointer wouldn't show up for a while after boot [19:56] Malinux: Wllk ,, let's look ' dpkg -l libqt5widgets5 ' . [19:56] CodeMouse92, when I then click click click on something, suddenly it comes out [19:56] Numline1, Has there been any changes to the /etc/smb.conf as of late - and have you considered "reverting" to an older version? Just asking... [19:56] Guest15095: Well, the reason I don't think so is that the problem isn't originating from the keyboard input, nor from the file system itself. The trackpad is probably unrelated. [19:56] YankDownUnder no, no recent changes, this is the first time this happened actually. I'll make sure to backup that data drive, as it may be hardware issue if you're right [19:57] CodeMouse92, good :( [19:57] Guest15095: Depending on your system specs, the trackpad issue might just be a sideeffect of boot up time [19:57] Numline1, backups are always a good thing...but yeah, back up, revert, and wait/watch... [19:57] Guest15095: Anyway, in relation to the file renaming, see if you have the same problem with Thunar (sudo apt-get install thunar) [19:58] What does install ubuntu alongside windows do? Does it partition the drive for me or what [19:58] If not, then the problem is definitely nautilus, and possibly worthy of a bug report [19:58] Michael19930: yes. === ghostman is now known as Sunny [19:58] CodeMouse92, one thing I forgot, at the beginning it works and I CAN rename files, then after a while it looses it and I can't type anything anymore within the filename box, but the keyboard still works on text editor etc === envy is now known as Guest19834 [19:59] Guest15095: That still sounds like a Nautilus bug, tbh [19:59] CodeMouse92 yeah. It's mainly NAS, so I wasn't really worried about it, but it's time :D [19:59] thanks for tips [19:59] CodeMouse92, ok thanks [19:59] does someone know why I cant add this port range in ufw gui "1714-1764" [20:00] Numline1: ?

I'll definatly look into these :) [21:02] ubuntu283: C# is some form of Mono (not that Mono.. ;) [21:02] ubuntu283: what kind of code are you planning to write? I mean, a C# IDE may be good for C# but terrible for html [21:02] ubuntu283: HTML / PHP: Eclipse, lots of things from VIM/EMACs on up.... ;P [21:02] I'm looking into aplication and database development [21:03] ubuntu283: free or commercial? [21:03] either :) [21:03] ubuntu283: application is a broad term, like "chair", apps for what? what platform? what usage? [21:03] ubuntu283: free then Eclipse is probably your best bet, it's unweildy at times but you can do everything in it and it's well supported. [21:04] I'm learning server maintance as well as development for windows and android. sorry, im new to all of this [21:04] ubuntu283: commercial then Intellij IDEA ultimate, supports practically everything..... [21:04] ubuntu283: Android Studio (Google's default IDE for android development) is based on Intellij IDEA Community [21:05] in rhel based Linux (fedora centos etc) I can script password change like: echo "password" | passwd --stdin username [21:05] I've got that already [21:05] how can I do the same in ubuntu (--stdin does not seam to be supported in ubuntu passwd) [21:05] ubuntu283: Then you know what intellij IDEA is like. [21:05] ubuntu283: IIRC, google has an Android SDK you can install, as far as windows, one of the best windows IDE would be Visual Studio, as far as doing "sysop" stuff, depends on the langauge, if Java, Netbeans is a popular one [21:05] thanks for all the help! I've got to get to class (time to leaern some php!!!) [21:05] ubuntu283: Ultimate supports lots of frameworks, databases, etc. that the community one doesn't.

[21:50] sorry, copy/pasted and the irssi didnt like it. === Guest19834 is now known as yvne [21:52] Oh, and normal RAM usage is very high with just an IRC client opened right now. Never had such issues prior to upgrade. [21:53] 2 Gigs of RAM in use right now -- I don't understand why. [21:53] maybe its swap ram? [21:53] 14.04 has v3 zoneinfo files and 12.04 has v2. does anyone know whether its possible to get v2 on 14.04 easily? [21:54] ruyicruz: No, swap is not in use at all. [21:55] Bashing-om: okey [21:56] vivekp: paste the output of "free -m" to paste.ubuntu.com [21:56] Anyone know what this process called "tracker extract" doing? [21:57] Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17666303/ [21:57] Why would the command node not work if I have nodejs installed [21:58] If I just try to install "node" it has no installation conidate [21:58] vivekp: doesn't look like you're running a normal ubuntu system [21:58] Normal? I'm on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 [21:59] oh, they changed the output of free in 16.04 [22:00] vivekp: you've only got 1.5GB used, i think you're doing ok [22:01] But, system monitor shows different story altogether... [22:01] 2 GB it shows [22:02] free doesn't lie, you're probably including some cache/buffer [22:02] even if it was 2GB out of 8.... still totally fine [22:04] But it's still high usage when compared to what I was used to before upgrade and I have nothing else running right now except this IRC client [22:04] so? what actual problem is it causing [22:06] Sorry, nevermind -- my main concern is that process called "tracker extract" [22:06] not sure what it's doing there [22:06] hey. im trying to install php-soap with apt-get, but it suggests me not only php-soap, but also php7.0-common and php7.0-soap, which i can NOT have installed. how can i make it only install php-soap? [22:06] tracker-extract reads the file and mimetype provided in stdin and extract the metadata from this file; then it displays the metadata on the standard output. [22:07] hi, how can i prevent the system from f***ing with my resolv.conf? [22:07] i disabled resolvconf.service in systemd, still the file is deleted on boot [22:07] i just want a normal resolv.conf file no weird automated thing that messes with my settings [22:07] <__sled> hi [22:08] nmide: what is the output of "ls -ld /etc/resolv.conf" [22:08] vivekp, oh gnome version of Kworker > tracker tracker-extract tracker-gui tracker-miner-fs tracker-utils [22:08] Ben64: it ought to use 220 MB of RAM to perform its operations? [22:08] vivekp: sure maybe [22:09] ben64: its a symbolic link to some other strange place instead of properly being just a file [22:09] if i remove the link and create a normal file will this solve my issue? [22:09] <__sled> Maybe this question is too specific. But it happens on Ubuntu. Is it possible that, having a heavy SSD disk-write thread, the load of the whole machine for this huge writing of data affects the running time of other threads, even if assigned to different CPU cores using pthread_affinity ? [22:09] OerHeks: Sorry, I don't understand... what again? [22:09] nmide: maybe, it's not recommended though [22:10] recommended by who? for over 10 years if i need to change my resolver settings i simply edit /etc/resolv.conf manually and place my settings there [22:10] Ben64: Would you advise against killing it? [22:10] or make a dhcp script that does the same [22:10] vivekp: yes [22:11] vivekp, tracker is some indexing service, let it run out ( it works in the background ) [22:11] nmide: easier way is to put whatever you want into /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [22:12] respectfully, that is not easier, it is radically changing how that configuration is typically done [22:12] and isn't behavior that should be present by default [22:13] nmide: then by all means, do whatever you want [22:13] but aside from that, thanks, i removed the sym link [22:13] I don't know, I've never been used to such high RAM usage with just one application running. [22:13] 16.04 has sure brought some new things to comply by. [22:13] *things to fix, yes, i can see that [22:13] haha [22:13] 14.04 has v3 zoneinfo files and 12.04 has v2. does anyone know whether its possible to get v2 on 14.04 easily? [22:16] I hope it gets fixed if its not normal behaviour. IMHO it's at-least unusual tho. [22:16] Malinux: Not to say I am ready to five up .. a matter of finding what is holding the lis to the elevated versions .. maybe qt5-default ?? Still trying to find out . [22:16] i'm sure people that implemented it thought it was normal, but in reality systemd adds an abstraction layer for configuration that nobody was asking for [22:17] whom should i pester about getting the ircd-ratbox package published for 16.04? [22:17] from what i've seen so far from using 16.04 systemd isn't production ready at all [22:17] but i can understand if experienced admins are not the target user [22:17] nmide: systemd has nothing to do with resolv.conf [22:17] and this is not the channel for rants [22:19] if i was 'ranting' you would know, i think what you actually mean is "this isn't the place for opinions ben64 doesn't agree with" [22:19] no problem [22:21] wenrwer === bear_ is now known as werwer [22:21] ok [22:21] SO! [22:21] JUST INSTALLED 15.04 [22:21] How the hell do I get rid of Unity. [22:21] Well, not get rid of because it's kinda handy. [22:22] How do I switch my DE temperarily? [22:22] 15.04 is dead, install a supported version [22:22] OerHeks, I downloaded the "Latest" [22:22] The site said 16, I got 15 [22:22] I'll do a dist upgrade later. [22:22] How do I drop myself into LXDE? [22:23] install a supported version of ubuntu [22:23] Congats. [22:23] That's not an answer. [22:24] it's the best answer [22:24] No it's not. [22:24] at least an honest answer. [22:24] It's ignoring the question at hand. [22:24] That's like me saying [22:24] why are you being so aggressive and expecting us to explain this to you? [22:24] you're running an unsupported version of ubuntu. run a supported version of ubuntu [22:24] "I installed Ubuntu on my macbook, how do I get my trackpad working?" [22:24] ANd getting the response [22:24] werwer: where did you download 15.04 from? that shouldn't even be available anymore [22:24] werwer: It's the only answer you'll get in this channel. We do not support EOL releases, in any way. [22:24] "GO BUY A PC, MACS SUCK!!" [22:24] ... [22:25] Like I said, I'm going to do a dist-upgrade [22:25] I'm trying not to break my install. [22:25] !eolupgrade [22:25] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:25] more like saying "I installed ubuntu 13.04 on my macbook, how do i get my trackpad working?" and getting the response "please install a supported version of ubuntu" [22:25] werwer: I'm worried about other users downloading that. So please let me know where you downloaded that from [22:25] ty genii [22:25] werwer: Then you can get support here *after* you upgrade. [22:25] werwer: See the bot's link, above [22:25] tgm4883, the website [22:25] werwer: link please [22:25] werwer: because I don't see it [22:25] werwer: but if you JUST installed 15.04, then stop, and install a supported version of ubuntu [22:25] much easier than upgrading [22:26] werwer: We can also help you upgrade properly (though I recommend re-installing, possibly installing an Ubuntu flavor that doesn't use Unity). [22:26] Cinnamon FTW [22:26] I don't want to completely leave Unity. [22:27] werwer [22:27] do you want a windows like environment? [22:27] Broseidon7Seez, I prefer LXDE [22:27] werwer: I've checked all the places I know and I can't figure out where you got 15.04 from [22:27] I am willing to make the transition [22:27] werwer: then go grab lubuntu 16.04 iso and install that [22:27] and you don't know how to install lxde? is that what you're asking? [22:27] http://releases.ubuntu.com/15.04/ [22:27] Found that one [22:28] if you like the feel of the windows DE then go with cinnamon [22:28] werwer: can you paste the output of 'cat /var/log/installer/media-info | nc termbin.com 9999' [22:28] http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ [22:28] ok nvm [22:28] I do have 16.04 [22:28] werwer: you didn't download it from there. That only has snappy images. You wouldn't have that [22:28] LiLi mis-identified [22:28] haha [22:29] So How do I switch into LXDE? [22:29] werwer, you can just open your terminal and enter: sudo apt update then sudo apt install lxde [22:29] I already installed it. [22:29] oh ok [22:29] hey guys.. looking for some help.. so i had a system in which i compiled ffmpeg on it and i installed libfreetype and libfdk_aac .. and all was well.. once i had the system exactly how i wanted it i simply made a copy of all the partitions and directories of the system to clone to another system... all worked well.. now i went back and i wanted to re-compile ffmpeg and its complaining about can't find libfdk_aac & freetype .. yet when i [22:29] look in /usr/include/* the directories for fdk-aac are there and freetype2 is there.. everything is there. yet i get a ERROR: libfdk_aac not found .. any help would be appreciated as i am stuck [22:29] How do I actually enter it? [22:30] werwer: sudo apt-get install LXDE-desktop-environment [22:30] ubuntu 14 btw [22:30] all you have to do now is log out and there will be a button next to where you enter your password [22:30] or do you have no password to login [22:30] werwer: log out and click the button by your log in and change log in session to the desktop environment you want [22:30] futurama140 - [ sudo apt install lxde ] you mean. [22:30] LXDE-desktop-environment [22:31] E: Unable to locate package LXDE-desktop-environment [22:31] oops wrong one [22:31] Prelude2004c: libs != source headers? [22:31] just do LXDE [22:31] nacc what does tha tmean ? [22:31] lxde is already the newest version (7ubuntu1). [22:31] The button isn't appearing [22:31] That's why I'm confused [22:31] log out and take a screenshot [22:31] ok so you don't have a password required to log in [22:32] Prelude2004c: it would be better to pastebin the exact output; and what is the reason for needing a newer ffmpeg than provided by Ubuntu? [22:32] werwer - [ sudo apt install lxde ] then try running [ ls /usr/share/xsessions ] [22:32] nacc , its a personal compiled version as we have custom code in it [22:32] SonikkuAmerica, ubuntu.desktop [22:32] a few patches and stuff.. i have to use the source .. i don't use repo [22:33] One thing is really surpising me about this so far [22:33] my question is not the ffmpeg.. its the system.. somehow it can't see the stuff in /usr/include or whatever. [22:33] right top panel, change de [22:33] Prelude2004c: like i said, we can try and help if you provide the actual output (pastebin) [22:33] I haven't installed my GPU drivers, at least the proprietary ones [22:33] Yet the performance isn't terrible. [22:33] nacc, do you mean from ffmpeg output ? sure.. one sec [22:33] werwer: Please pastebin the output of "systemctl status lightdm". [22:33] werwer - you need a .desktop file with the LXDE session set to start. Best way to do this is to install the lubuntu-desktop package, which automatically generates one. [22:34] Prelude2004c: whatever error you are getting, including whatever you are invoking that leads to the eror [22:34] http://pastebin.com/raw/mD2x3QUf [22:35] Prelude2004c: what version of Ubuntu? [22:35] 14.04 [22:35] SonikkuAmerica, doing that [22:36] Prelude2004c: it's missing some header file (in particular sys/cdefs.h); where do you see any mention of fdk-aac or freetype2? [22:36] Prelude2004c: this is a really basic compilation solution, are you sure you want to be compiling from source? [22:36] yes i need to commpile from source [22:37] this is a custom ffmpeg version [22:37] Prelude2004c: ok, educational moment. Learn to read the compilation output, in particular the "fatal error" lines. That is the actual error. [22:37] Prelude2004c: the backtraces are where the file includes come from, not the error itself [22:37] here... locate shows > /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h [22:38] I have two incredibly longshop questions [22:38] Linux voicechangers [22:38] Also, does anyone here understand how to redirect audio [22:38] also split into multiple pipes [22:38] maybe because the /usr/include is not set ? [22:38] do i need to export something first. [22:39] because /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h exists but its not seeing that so maybe its looking in wrong place [22:39] i did include --extra-cflags=-I/usr/include [22:40] SonikkuAmerica, It's working. [22:40] I love you. [22:40] OK then, werwer ... lol :) [22:41] Prelude2004c: did you have to pass --extra-cflags before? [22:41] :) [22:41] SonikkuAmerica, Do you understand how to do real time audio manioulation? [22:42] its part of my command configure yes [22:42] let me remove it i guess [22:42] Prelude2004c: when you built last time too? [22:42] werwer - Real-time? Nope. Try #ubuntustudio [22:42] yes last time i built yes it had it [22:42] removed and it changed nothing [22:43] still can't find stuff in /usr/include/ [22:43] its like the system doesn't know where /usr/include is .. very odd [22:43] Prelude2004c: that's not true, as it is using files from /usr/include [22:43] Prelude2004c: *again*, are you absolutely sure you want to compile from source? debugging stuff like this (on your own) is part of it... [22:43] Prelude2004c: you can see the backtrace says it's using files from /usr/include (math.h, features.h) [22:43] nacc, i don't have a choice.. this is a custom git repo version [22:44] it has certain fixes for my application [22:44] SonikkuAmerica, know anything about stream splitting and redirection? [22:44] You know, with Alsa [22:44] well /usr/include/sys/cdefs.h exists [22:45] Prelude2004c: are you by any chance cross-compiling or anything? 64-bit? [22:45] werwer - beats me [22:45] Anyone here know about Alsa? [22:45] The stuff under the hood [22:45] Hello again [22:46] I'm just wondering if any of you know about Stream re-direction, splitting, copying, all in real time [22:46] wait !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got it [22:46] cp -Rf /old/1/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/ /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/ .. the folder was missing [22:46] Prelude2004c: uh... why are you mucking with the compiler include files? [22:46] we excluded the /sys and for some reason it excluded all folders */sys/ .. hum.. i see the issue [22:46] its compiling now :P yay !! [22:47] If anyone's wondering [22:47] werwer: that might be better asked in #linux or an alsa channel [22:47] simple problem really [22:47] I need help with onboard, does it support korean? i can't find any information about the language support... [22:47] I want to create a Alsa sink [22:47] werwer: For redirecting streams you'll want to use pulseaudio or *possibly* jackd, but don't install jackd until you have done your research about it. [22:47] werwer: use !alis to find a good channel [22:47] Jordan_U, Not touching jack, heard horror stories [22:47] And I'd like to use it with korean characters... [22:47] file was existed as a symbolic link to the missing directory [22:48] Prelude2004c: so when earlier, you said you made a copy of partitions and directories; you didn't? [22:48] Prelude2004c: or the copy wasn't exact? [22:48] Prelude2004c: that's why there are way better ways of doing backups/system clones then doing it yoursel f:) === bear_ is now known as werwer [22:52] ok [22:52] Important question! [22:52] Also stupid [22:52] I have LXDE working, is it safe to leave Unity alone and just ignore it? [22:53] Will there be any side effects from installing LXDE to replace Unity [22:53] not stupid.. have to learn somewhere. You can just ignore unity and log in when you want, so long as you don't mess up dependencies or delete files from unity [22:54] ok, I have pretty good experience with Linux on my servers but never my desktop [22:54] This is the first time that I've ever had luck with AMD drivers [22:54] there shouldn't be any side effects from installing lxde. just be careful installing desktop interfaces following guides on the net, like if you install kubuntu-desktop to get plasma you CAN run into issues [22:54] my computer hasn't burst into flames so far. [22:54] haha [22:55] AMD drivers are terrible under Linux [22:55] Nvidia is worse. [22:55] Intel was my only smooth experience [22:55] well right now on 16.04 we seem to be in limbo with amd drivers [22:55] ? [22:56] Broseidon7Seez, would you say Phoronix is a good source to figure out what GPU to get for Linux? [22:57] You guys have to understand, the reason I've never used Linux on my desktop before was because the experience wasn't very polished and felt hacked together === sparklyballs_2 is now known as Sparklyballs [22:57] Last time I tried was 12.04 Ubuntu [22:57] werwer I'm not sure never have been to that website actually. [22:57] From 12.04 to 16.04 is like a Pentium 3 to a Core i7 6700k [22:57] alot of us are new.. I just started using linux at home with ubuntu 14.04 [22:57] Broseidon7Seez, I did run Ubuntu 7.04 on a pentium 2 [22:58] Gnome on a p2 with 256 of RDRAM was hell. [22:58] let's stay on /topic :) [22:58] I enured hell. [22:58] Stupid question again, what's a good alternative to archive manager? [22:58] amd got a lot of issues due to their shift from closed source to kernel drivers since 16.04. [22:58] Archlive manager hangs a lot. [22:59] werwer: apt on cli [22:59] archive [22:59] not package [22:59] werwer: Stupid answer: Nautilus [22:59] you mean file-roller? [22:59] werwer: isn't archive manager the tarball GUI? [22:59] idk [22:59] Oh, i know what you mean [22:59] werwer: I use B1 free archiver [23:00] ty for the suggestions [23:00] I'm using Nautilus quite well now [23:00] !info file-roller [23:00] file-roller (source: file-roller): archive manager for GNOME. In component main, is optional. Version 3.16.5-0ubuntu1.1 (xenial), package size 313 kB, installed size 2012 kB === sparklyballs_2 is now known as sparklyballs_ [23:00] file roller hung trying to extract 41mb of files... [23:00] but you need to install the archive packages to get file-roller to handle those formats [23:00] it was a .zip [23:01] werwer: and what do you mean by "hang"? it can just take some time, depending on disk speed, size of the archive, etc. [23:01] make sure to install the proper formats then. fileroller works with zip and even bigger files [23:01] nacc, completely unresponsive === sparklyballs_ is now known as Sparklyballs [23:01] I let it sit, wasn't extracting [23:02] Can I get some tips on privacy and security with Ubuntu? [23:02] I've already followed fixubuntu.com [23:02] werwer: look at the logs what was wrong. [23:02] Any other suggestions? [23:02] werwer: that is FUD, you are aware of that? [23:02] The fact that it searches Amazon still isn't welcome. [23:02] if I want amazon I have Chrome and Firefox, I'd rather not use Unity. === thiago_ is now known as Guest50053 [23:04] werwer: look at system settings-> privacy. its opt-in [23:04] k1l_, You're talking to the guy who unplugs his mic when not in use [23:04] I have a harware switch but I still unplug it. [23:05] So I am taking a performance hit with the opensource amd drivers when trying Minecraft. I've gone from 100fps to 60 [23:05] So far nothing's caught on fire though === jake_avidbots is now known as iamanewb [23:07] So any suggestions for tweaks I should do to improve my experience coming from windows? [23:07] I know I need to set some keybinds [23:07] like Super-L, Super-R [23:08] if you want more performance, i'd suggest not using unity [23:08] werwer: i thought you just installed lxde? why do you care about unity? [23:08] Using LXDE [23:08] nacc, I do want to learn to work with Untiy. [23:08] Unity* [23:08] i've installed ubuntu 14.04 from usb, and i've got the grub error so i just fineshed the installation without grub [23:09] Hey guys, I hope someone can help me. I am trying to run a gui that uses qt and i am getting these error messages: libGL error: failed to open drm device: Permission denied [23:09] libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 [23:09] i don't know how can i boot the system === conner641 is now known as Conner [23:10] Bashing-om: thanks. i am gonna sleep again :) [23:10] marus, boot rescue disk and mount your drive that doesn't have grub [23:10] then iirc, grub-install [23:11] Well, you might want to chroot to that disk first. [23:11] gmail [23:11] iamanewb: what gui? [23:11] Malinux: Sleep well .. Still do not know how to find what may have installed the libraries . Libraries are common to many applications. [23:11] nacc: can I privmsg you for some kernel/grub help? [23:11] werwer:http://askubuntu.com/questions/532540/ubuntu-installation-failure-unable-to-install-grub/532549 [23:11] like this answer? [23:12] umoukun: would rather you kept in the channel, if possible [23:12] ok [23:12] umoukun, yes. [23:12] is there a way to configure a single kernel entry in grub.conf [23:12] sorry, marus * [23:12] umoukun: how do you mean? [23:12] whenever I run update-grub2, it puts the current kernel in the config [23:13] use grub customizer [23:13] werwer: so just boot with usb again? and mount the partition where ubuntu is installed and then chroot and excute update-grub? [23:13] I cant use grub custom [23:13] I run server [23:14] in addition to amazon icon is there a facebook one ? [23:14] nacc: is a gui developed for ROS (robot operating system) and uses QT 5 libraries [23:14] should I purge the unused kernel? [23:14] umoukun: so were you able to boot to the newer kernel? [23:14] no [23:14] umoukun: did you try grub-set-default ? [23:14] I dont get it [23:14] yeah [23:14] iamanewb: try "sudo adduser username video" [23:14] its in /boot [23:14] umoukun: what is in /boot? [23:14] iamanewb: change username to the exact username [23:14] seem that everyway has Problem with grub here :D [23:14] Anyone here do programming or operating system dev? [23:15] Conner: yes, but there are probably better channels for that kind of question (check !alis) [23:15] curious in ubuntu is there any configuration file for changing the toolbars background color or setting a background theme for the toolbars? [23:16] k1l_: i tried and the error messages still pop up [23:16] nacc: "!alis"? [23:16] !alis | Conner [23:16] Conner: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu or /msg alis list http [23:16] Also is there away to move the left launcher toolbar to a different place on the desktop to an (x,y ) postion on a desktop [23:16] does anyone know the proper syntax to blacklist a module at boot? i'm trying to prevent my 40gig cards from being detected when running the ubuntu installer [23:17] i did this: APPEND initrd=/ubuntu-installer/amd64/initrd.gz console=tty0 ixgbe.blacklist=yes mlx4_core.blacklist=yes mlx4_en.blacklist=yes [23:17] !l [23:17] but i still see the cards, and i'm sure those are the right kernel modules [23:17] campee: i don't think that's right. [23:17] nacc: http://pastebin.com/8fqehj7R thats whats in boot [23:17] campee: that's passing 'blacklist=yes' as a parameter to those modules [23:17] ubuntu__: left or bottom is possible [23:17] campee: but that would necessarily load those modules, to parse the parameters... [23:17] not any postion? [23:18] iamanewb: relogin afterwards [23:18] what would you put instead? [23:18] ubuntu__: no. [23:18] is there away to change the background color of the toolbars [23:18] nacc: I dont get why update-grub doesnt pickup the new kernel [23:19] have been using linux for over 20yrs [23:19] baffled [23:19] Or change the size of the icons that are pinned to the tool bars basically can you make the tool bars bigger or skinner , condense it etc [23:19] campee: i think you want to use modprobe.blacklist= (see `man modprobe`) [23:19] ubuntu__: look at the "unity-tweak-tool" [23:19] umoukun: it does pick up the newer kernel, afaict (based upon your prior messages); it's just not setting it to be the default [23:20] nacc: let me try that [23:20] umoukun: what's the problem? [23:20] O i was wondering from an x11 config file or config file in /etc or something not having to install a program to do so [23:20] nacc: whats the syntax for a new boot entry [23:20] Plus i would then be asking how the program does it [23:20] ubuntu__: you can dig through dconf editor if you like [23:21] sudo grub-set-default --boot-/boot ? [23:21] EriC^^: having problems with kernels [23:21] umoukun: hrm? new boot entry? or setting the default? [23:21] nacc: i don't suppose you know of a way to force a particular ethernet card to be detected as eth0 during install? [23:22] umoukun: did you read `man grub-set-default` ? [23:22] nacc: I commented out the old kernel in grubconf [23:22] there isnt anything in the man page [23:22] ubuntu__: or the gsettings command on cli. have fun diggin through the docs then :) [23:22] umoukun: what are you trying to do? [23:22] umoukun: it tells you how to invoke it... and there's no --boot parameter [23:22] trying to update my kernel with grub [23:23] k1l_: hey, i now get a different error message so some progress i think :): libGL error: pci id for fd 15: 8086:1916, driver (null) [23:23] i965_dri.so does not support the 0x1916 PCI ID. [23:23] libGL error: failed to create dri screen [23:23] libGL error: failed to load driver: i965 [23:23] is there away to get rid of the top menu bar or is that part of the launcher program as well [23:23] campee: looking one sec [23:23] what do I use for MENU_ENTRY [23:23] the kernel? [23:23] umoukun: update-grub should pick it up [23:23] umoukun: 'MENU_ENTRY is a number, a menu item title or a menu item identifier.' [23:23] EriC^^: it doesnt [23:24] EriC^^: umoukun's grub does see all the kernels, but it's booting to the older kernel for some reason [23:24] iamanewb: please run "lspci |nc termbin .com 9999" and show the url here [23:24] umoukun: pastebin update-grub's output [23:24] can any one help with ubuntu installion without grub Problem? [23:24] marus: what's the problem exactly? [23:24] iamanewb: and the output of "uname -a" please in here [23:24] nacc: hey, that blacklist method worked! thanks a lot! the NIC is showing up as em1 though, and my preseed file tells it to configure eth0 :( [23:25] EriC^^:Unable to install GRUB in /dev/sda [23:25] I just set the default to 1 [23:25] marus: the installer said that? [23:25] EriC^^: i try to install from usb stick in ssd hard drive and i get this error [23:25] k1l_: i get http://termbin.com/8wlo and Linux wheely-prototype 4.2.0-27-generic #32~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 22 15:32:26 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [23:25] still the same kerne [23:25] EriC^^: right [23:25] umoukun: if update-grub didn't pick it up, setting that won't do anything [23:25] I dont even get it === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [23:26] how does the config not even control this [23:26] I dont get it [23:26] chill.. [23:26] How do I change the root filesystem to another device? I've edited fstab to mount it as the new root fs, but it doesn't take. This is on a vbox, btw. [23:26] umoukun: can you please paste the output of update-grub? [23:26] ok [23:27] horatiohb: how would it change when it has to load fstab from the root partition [23:27] EriC^^: just like this error http://askubuntu.com/questions/532540/ubuntu-installation-failure-unable-to-install-grub/532549 [23:27] http://pastebin.com/vaXRX2vf [23:27] iamanewb: you might want to try the new HWE: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack replace the wily with xenial on this [23:27] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/vaXRX2vf [23:28] campee: yep, trying to find the syantx, one sec [23:28] Ben64: I don't understand you. I'm on a vbox. I even detached the old device and attached only the new one. But then it won't boot. [23:28] what is the most lighweight linux distro for an old pc? [23:28] umoukun: ok, it does pick up the 88 kernel [23:28] should I just rm the files and run update grub? [23:28] umoukun: is that the kernel you want it to boot? [23:28] is it only Lubuntu? [23:28] umoukun: no [23:28] EriC^^: yeah [23:28] it uses 79 every damn time [23:29] umoukun: pastebin /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:29] ok [23:29] umoukun: do you have multiple hdd's? [23:29] no [23:29] one ssd [23:29] vm [23:29] ok [23:29] craptalk: we only support ubuntu flavours in here, if you want non ubuntu stuff ask in ##linux (like you know that since we told you often) [23:30] k1l_: you know me before? [23:30] marus: are you in the live usb right now? [23:30] k1l_: i will give that a shot if i get a chance. Thanks for your help! [23:31] ok more general question if i was using pure x11 gnome or kde is there a configuration file to set the toolbars configuration like sizes, placement, background color/transparency /image [23:31] umoukun: Might also check and see what is set to boot ' ls -al /vmlinuz* ; ls -al /intird* ' . [23:31] EriC^^: http://pastebin.com/ZhDH4y9u [23:31] umoukun: thats nothing to do with x [23:31] x? [23:31] umoukun: oops, sorry [23:31] wtf [23:31] ok [23:31] ubuntu__: thats nothing to do wtih X, thats a desktop specific config [23:31] iamanewb: thing is, your skylake cpu/gpu is that new and had issues on kernels <4.4. which is shipped on 16.04. with that way i told you you can have that new kernel and xorg on the 14.04 [23:31] heh [23:32] NOTHING is wrong with my config === CyberJacob is now known as zz_CyberJacob [23:32] EriC^^: i'm using another hardrive [23:32] ok and does normally the desktop manager program have in the /etc a way to configure the toolbar [23:32] I do not understand how it is booting to the same kernel [23:32] umoukun: no [23:32] umoukun: damn it, sorry [23:32] ubuntu__: no, [23:32] np [23:32] ubuntu__: gnome uses dconf too, like unity (since they share the same base). i dont know about kde. [23:33] EriC^^: but i have usb live [23:33] marus: ok, boot the live usb on the pc that has ubuntu on it [23:33] so you kind of need to install another toolbar and windows manager and put them in your xinitrc at start up or something [23:33] umoukun: hold shift to get grub and troubleshoot it from there [23:33] ubuntu__: no, why don't you explain your situation and what you're trying to do [23:33] umoukun: check what it's using for the configfile [23:33] I have no access to the console [23:33] rather than generic questions that depend a lot [23:33] EriC^^: then? [23:33] dconf is a database for what the man page doesn't tell me what it is really for [23:33] craptalk: do i really need to prove you how often i told you about the topic of #ubuntu since march? [23:34] marus: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [23:34] how do I see what config its using [23:34] try echo $prefix [23:34] EriC^^. i've typed fdisk -l , and the system is installed in /dev/sdf1 [23:34] ubuntu__: i dont think you understand how complex a big desktop enviroment like gnome, unity or kde is. what is you endgoal behind the question? you want a minimal desktop? [23:35] and try to force it with configfile (hdx,msdosY)/boot/grub/grub.cfg [23:35] marus: ok, try sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt [23:35] to customize the toolbar any way i would like it to be [23:36] ubuntu__: what tool bar ? [23:36] ubuntu__: think of dconf as of the windows registry. its a key based configuration system [23:36] ubuntu__: most things are not coded to be changed in "any way" [23:36] because apart from the theme desktop picture, icons , the only thing is the toolbar . For getting the windows manager for a second [23:36] EriC^^: sudo mount /dev/sdf1 /mnt, sudo chroot /mnt, update-grub? [23:37] ubuntu__: what desktop are you using [23:37] i think unity it is ubuntu 14 [23:37] campee: can't you just use 'auto' in your preseed? [23:37] marus: no, after sudo mount do "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done" [23:37] nacc: hm, i'll try that. [23:37] ubuntu__: ok - so when you say toolbar, are you talking about "the dock" [23:37] ubuntu__: you want a microsoft windows lookalike? [23:37] nacc: thanks! [23:38] campee: also, keep in mind, there is a sort of conceptual race between stuff needed to configure network in order to get your preseed file and then processing the same preseed file [23:38] there is only a left hand toolbar that i can from system settings auto hide or the top fix toolbar is the top one called the dock [23:38] campee: meaning sometimes you might need to pass the d-i values on the installer cmdline [23:38] EriC^^: kk will try it [23:38] ubuntu__: ok - so it's the launcher you're talking about [23:38] ubuntu__: where you launch apps [23:38] ubuntu__: on unity the left bar is named "launcher" and the top bar is named "panel" [23:39] ubuntu__: and unity is not that much configurable. neither is gnome-shell. i guess kde gives more options [23:40] ok how do you remove items or change items on the panel thats one thing i was curious about. And the major thing was the launcher toolbar to the left [23:40] ubuntu__: remove what exactly? and what is "the issue" with the launcher? [23:40] the small icons on it changing them , adding or removing [23:41] ubuntu__: did you look into "unity-tweak-tool" if you dont want to dig through dconf settings as i told you 5 times now? [23:41] for the panel [23:41] changing the icons would work best with icon themes. [23:41] ubuntu__: Are you wanting to change what programs are ON the launcher? [23:42] i think thats what he's wanting to do. [23:42] ok bye [23:43] ubuntu__: you can blacklist icons (most are called "indicators") from been shown on the panel. [23:43] ubuntu__: If so, you can remove an icon from the launcher (on the side) by right-clicking the icon and clicking "unlock from launcher". The icon will always be there while the program in question is running, but if the icon is unlocked, then it will disappear as soon as the program is closed. [23:43] ubuntu__, if you don't want a icon in the launcher, just right click on it and remove it. [23:43] but that could have been asked in the first place. [23:43] no talking about removing small icons from the panel top bar [23:43] ubuntu__: You can add new icons to the launcher by searching for a program in the Dash, and drag-dropping it onto the Launcher. Alternatively, if the program is already running, you can right-click its icon on the launcher and click "Lock to launcher" [23:44] ubuntu__: Finally, just drag and drop the icons on the launcher to rearrange them [23:44] CodeMouse92: Tin_man i dont think we understood what ubuntu__ wants at all [23:44] most of those are fixed icons, like, date, time, and system [23:44] hello [23:44] i know how to take care of add/removing icons from the launcher not from the panel thats my issue [23:44] now he's talking top panel [23:44] ubuntu__: then blacklist them [23:44] ubuntu__: Ah. Which icons specifically do you want to remove from the panel? [23:45] EN one on top panel how do you blacklist them? [23:45] ubuntu__: Ah, that's an easy one. Go to System Settings and Text Entry [23:46] And then uncheck the box on the lower left that says "Show current input source in the menu bar" [23:46] ubuntu__: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/ubuntu-help/shell-overview.html [23:46] take it out of the "systray-whitelist" in dconf [23:46] CodeMouse92: that is not working on unity. [23:46] (Why are we overcomplicating this? The option is in System Settings) [23:46] k1l_: Really? I just did it in Unity [23:47] so how do you do it for the other ones like mail time ,...etc [23:47] worked for EN [23:47] ubuntu__: The easiest way is with the unity-tweak-tool (sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool) [23:47] CodeMouse92: sorry, you are right. i misinterpreted the "EN". [23:47] ubuntu__: Install that, start it up, and go to Panel. You can toggle most of the built-in icons there [23:48] ubuntu__: i told you to use the easy method: unity-tweak-tool 5 times now. since you refuse go and dig the dconf editor finally. its the com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist key [23:49] ubuntu__: The mail indicator specifically is a program called 'indicator-messages', which you can remove if you don't want it anymore at all [23:49] you sure thats availabe for 14 version because i have all repo check and i don't see it [23:50] I mustve hit some key combination or something but I cant scroll in my terminal anymore, it just scrolls my commands, how do I fix that? [23:50] xfce [23:50] !info unity-tweak-tool trusty [23:50] unity-tweak-tool (source: unity-tweak-tool): configuration tool for the Unity desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.0.6ubuntu1 (trusty), package size 325 kB, installed size 2549 kB [23:50] ubuntu__: ^ [23:50] ubuntu__: In the terminal, run "sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool" [23:52] hello [23:52] ok cool one last things on the gui enviorment is windows manager part is that just the program that takes care of the windows decoration , transparency , motion of windows , min,max, [23:52] ubuntu__: By the way, I'm curious why you want to remove many of these things from the panel. Some of them are pretty essential for day-to-day easy use of Ubuntu (clock). [23:52] And theme of the windows [23:53] ubuntu__: unity-tweak-tool is good for that as well. You can install additional themes.... [23:53] ubuntu__: A whole bunch of great themes for Ubuntu are here: http://noobslab.com/themes [23:54] They have installation instructions on each. Once you've installed a theme, use the Unity Tweak Tool -> Themes to switch the theme. Same goes for icon themes (http://noobslab.com/icons) [23:54] I just want to know how to customize the gui enviroment all the different things given an arbitary desktop manager but apparently it is highly dependent on the desktop manager configuration files and weather they let you configure what settings [23:54] OOps: http://www.noobslab.com/p/themes-icons.html#icons [23:54] ubuntu__: Well, Unity is pretty well limited to what you see already. You can change the icon theme and window colors, and there are some additional things in Unity Tweak Tool (just play with it) [23:55] But, by and large, Unity is what you see here. [23:56] ubuntu__: There are some additional tricks for Unity, which you can get by installing CompizConfig and its extras... [23:56] Install that in the terminal with the command "sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins-extra" [23:57] But pay attention to any warnings the program gives you, to ensure you don't break anything or make your system inoperable :) [23:57] anybody here have a skylake system? when i run prime95 under ubuntu, my CPU gets throttled to 2700MHz... under Windows 10 it runs at the 4000MHz base frequency [23:57] I installed google chrome and it's not in the Unity search? [23:57] so is the desktop manager just made up of toolbars , windows manager , and desktop theme/icons (plus maybe a gui widget if one runs a background program) [23:57] Lucid: did you relogin? [23:57] Lucid: sometimes you have to logout/login (or restart) to see those changes [23:58] ubuntu__: Mmmm....not precicely. Unity is a little more integrated than that. [23:58] No I didn't. I'll try that now. Thanks. [23:58] Is there away to switch out just the windows manager part leaving the tool bars [23:58] ubuntu__: No [23:58] ubuntu__: what is the desktop you want [23:58] in gnome or kde or lxde [23:58] you may as well just tell us - as your questions make no sense [23:58] ubuntu__: what is the end goal you want [23:59] ubuntu__: in theory: yes. but practical: not without you doing a lot of coding, since most stuff is not working together out of the box.
