| hartxt | hi, I had a dual boot going in a laptop with Win10 on the main SSD and Ubuntu on the 2nd SSD. Now I need to move the Ubuntu SSD to a different PC on its own but it's not recognized as a bootable device, how do I fix that? | 00:13 |
| Mikubuntu | O this is VERY frustrating I'm starting to remember that this was a very painful install way back in 2014 | 00:13 |
| HeyThere | channel seems rather dead at this time, so ill ask a stupid question: i need a new phone, can i justify buying an iphone, if one of the main reasons i switched from microsoft windows to ubuntu is that i am a supporter of open software or more strictly the free software foundations believe.

| HeyThere | Ben64: fair enough, i just didnt feel like registering just to join a channel on an irc network, might proceed though as im bored ^^ | 00:18 |
| HeyThere | Ben64: btw, do you know why it's +r, it wasn't in 08. | 00:19 |
| Mikubuntu | Bashing-om no tab key on tablet lol | 00:19 |
| hartxt | yes it's not the same hardware but won't proprietary drivers work? would booting via livecd and using bootrepair work? | 00:19 |
| winston2k | imho its more work than doing an install | 00:19 |
| Bashing-om | Mikubuntu: Long as you nick to me so I see the response .. busy channel and easy otherwise to miss ! | 00:20 |

| Hinjes | Hello. I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu to recognize my keyboard and mouse. I'm booting from a USB and trying to install it to my SSD. Does anyone have advice? | 00:30 |
| Bashing-om | Hinjes: bios based machine ? Maybe in bios insure that "USB devices " is set as "legacy" ,, AND that "plug and play" is enabled . | 00:33 |
| Hinjes | Thank you. I'll try | 00:33 |
| Hinjes | The mouse works, sometimes, but the keyboard is fully inoperable. | 00:35 |
| Bashing-om | Hinjes: K, sounds like a driver thing .. in that Bios is passing to the system wrong info .. see what changing the settings in bios effects ( take good notes on what you change !) . | 00:36 |
| === Poke95 is now known as Poke95|away | ||
| Hinjes | I updated my BIOS to tell it that I have a tower cooling unit on the CPU | 00:38 |
| Hinjes | Where should I look to modify USB settings? | 00:38 |
| Hinjes | It's an ASUS bios, if that helps at all | 00:38 |

| Hinjes | I set the USB Support to "full initialization" | 00:40 |
| Bashing-om | Hinjes: Try and see . | 00:43 |
| Hinjes | the hotkeys work, but when I try typing in libreoffice, nothing shows up | 00:43 |

| Hinjes | Nope. I can't get to the install itself | 01:03 |
| Hinjes | the keyboard and mouse stop working | 01:03 |
| Hinjes | I had the disk check to see if there were any defects and it said there weren't | 01:04 |
| mikolotko | Just reformatted "D" drive into ext4 for file storage. Tried to copy/cut+paste on it afterwards but can't. When I tried the sudo caja approach, I suddenly can. Is there something I've done wrong in the formatting stage on gparted? | 01:08 |
| tgm4883 | mikolotko: sounds like permissions aren't set correctly | 01:08 |
| Hinjes | I got to the "who are you?" part of the install and then the keyboard stopped working again. | 01:09 |
| mikolotko | True, it looks like it, tgm4883. Should I reformat? Or do post format things to change permissions? | 01:09 |
| mnathani | I am running an application called graylog, and need to assign permissions to that user to bind to ports < 1024 without running the application as root | 01:10 |

| mikolotko | <tgm4883>, I just clicked on it. GUI. | 01:11 |
| tgm4883 | mikolotko: this is an internal drive? | 01:11 |
| mikolotko | tgm4883, yes. | 01:11 |

| Optiprism | Im trying to Dual Boot win10 and ubuntu16.04, if I press "install alongside" i still get to choose the partition right? | 01:49 |
| Optiprism | Sigh I'm just gonna try | 01:50 |
| Tin_man | no I don't think so | 01:50 |
| Tin_man | i think you need the bottom choice don't have it in front of me | 01:51 |
| Tin_man | your screen | 01:51 |
| Optiprism | Ah ok | 01:51 |
| Tin_man | what is your bottom choice? | 01:51 |
| Tin_man | something else, or something like that | 01:51 |
| Optiprism | Yeah I'll try that out | 01:52 |
| Tin_man | good luck | 01:52 |
| Tin_man | if in doubt don't! | 01:52 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: That "manual install" option is if you have done the homework and prior prudent planning ! | 01:53 |
| Optiprism | Hmm, yeah I'm a bit confused by it, not sure where to put the boot loader in | 01:55 |
| Optiprism | What exactly does the "install alongside" option do? | 01:56 |
| Tin_man | kinda divides your partition, and puts ubuntu along side windows | 01:57 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: How many physical hard drives are internal ? The "install alongside" will install grub to the 1st (sda) drive\ . | 01:57 |
| Optiprism | Ah I see, so say I have 1 ssd with Windows on it, and another HDD where I want to create a partition in to dual boot Ubuntu from | 01:58 |
| Bashing-om | !dualboot | Optiprism | 01:59 |
| ubottu | Optiprism: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot | 01:59 |
| Optiprism | I would choose something else and create a swap space and a / partition and put the bootloader on the HDD right? | 01:59 |
| Optiprism | Thanks I'll read that | 02:00 |
| Tin_man | i've set up dual boot that way, but i didn't have a ssd, just 2 ide drives, but put ubuntu on the slave drive, and kept mint on the master drive, and it worked fine.. | 02:01 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: Yeah . in essense correct . prior to install set up the partitions as you want . ( I do like partitions of '/', /home, and /swap ) . Else if you have a OS on the 2nd driver, "install alongside ) let the wizard do a default install and then one will need to manually install the boot code after the install completes . | 02:02 |
| Bashing-om | Tin_man: Keep in mind in Optiprism's situation, Windows on the primary drive and Windows will not talk grub . | 02:04 |
| Tin_man | yes, i see that, as i mentioned mine was mint, not Windows | 02:04 |
| Optiprism | Hmm, so I think I'll try to install the bootloader on the HDD without windows on it, in which case I assume I can select the disk I want my bios to load via boot order? | 02:07 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: Somewhat, Windows boot code on the primary driver will not be touched or altered .. Grub on the 2nd drive can talk Windows, and from grub's boot menu you can choose which system to boot . | 02:08 |
| Optiprism | Oh I see, yeah this will work for me | 02:09 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: That way. booting the 2nd drive you choose the OS . Can then always boot Windows on the 1st drive by changing the boot priority . | 02:10 |
| Optiprism | Well installing it now, let's see if this works :D | 02:11 |
| Bashing-om | Optiprism: :) Ain't no step for a stepper . | 02:14 |
| Tin_man | hope all goes well, i'm outta here.. | 02:22 |

| TheLizardElf | no its just ubuntu desktops | 06:32 |
| akik | TheLizardElf: usually when a device is compromised, the best way to go forward is reset/re-flash | 06:32 |
| tatertots | when does ubuntu linux come into play in the situation lizard? | 06:32 |
| TheLizardElf | flash the bios? | 06:32 |
| akik | TheLizardElf: you were talking about phones | 06:33 |

| tatertots | @ juanonymous | 07:58 |
| juanonymous | i do not have root privilege | 07:58 |

| ducasse | juanonymous: you can build it from source in your homedir. | 07:59 |
| juanonymous | i do not have link for openssl source | 07:59 |

| ducasse | juanonymous: https://www.openssl.org/ - docs on the site. | 08:00 |
| Secret-Fire | Tin_man: I think i figured it out in the LightDM GTK | 08:02 |
| juanonymous | is this correct when trying to configure openssl -> ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local | 08:05 |
| ducasse | juanonymous: look for an INSTALL or README file in the source dir, it should tell you how to proceed. | 08:08 |
| hariaakash | Guys I am finding an error like this "wine: '/home/user' is not owned by you, refusing to create a configuration directory there" | 08:08 |
| hariaakash | anyone out here can you help me ? I have tried google alot, but I have to run wine as sudo which is the problem | 08:10 |
| bowlOfPetunias | hariaakash; does it literally say /home/user | 08:10 |
| hariaakash | yep it is the directory where the exe file stays | 08:11 |
| hariaakash | wine won't allow to run sudo, but I want to force it to run | 08:12 |

| jatt | aruns: have you tried to remove pulseaudio? | 09:12 |
| jatt | aruns: sometimes pulseaudio conflicts with alsa | 09:13 |
| aruns | jatt: Ah. | 09:13 |
| aruns | jatt: Let me also tell you what my sound card is...if I can find it out. | 09:13 |
| yottanami | ducasse, I add dns-nameservers but the problem is it removed after reboot from /etc/networks/interfaces and reset to previews config | 09:13 |
| ducasse | yottanami: then edit whatever generates that file. | 09:14 |
| effectnet | gebbione, good luck with it hope you find it | 09:14 |
| aruns | jatt: I believe it is the Intel ICH6. | 09:14 |
| gebbione | effectnet, thanks :) | 09:14 |
| yottanami | ducasse, Is anyway to find out what is generating my interface file? because it is not a desktop version to use gnome-network-manager | 09:15 |
| effectnet | let me know later if you want | 09:15 |
| ducasse | yottanami: in a default ubuntu install nothing does. it must be something you have installed or set up. | 09:15 |
| tatertots | Fabou....you said "I try to reboot my computer and change usb ports"....have you already done that troubleshooting step or are you still in the process of doing it? | 09:16 |
| jatt | aruns: intel chipsets are very well supported by linux, doubt it's a problem with the chipset not being supported. can you check whether you have the kernel modules running? please try: | 09:16 |
| jatt | lsmod | grep snd | 09:16 |
| jatt | and pastebin the output. | 09:16 |
| Fabou | tatertots, +I tried to find how I can see logs. dmesg see that I plug off/on my external hd | 09:16 |
| yottanami | ducasse, I did not configured this server but I need to fix the problem is anyway to find what is generating interfaces file? | 09:17 |
| Giles1 | Hey, how can I show the menu bar in nautilus on ubuntu 15.10 | 09:17 |
| Fabou | tatertots, http://pastebin.com/fSbd23JV | 09:17 |
| ducasse | yottanami: as i said, nothing in standard ubuntu does. i can't answer for something someone else have added. | 09:17 |
| Fabou | tatertots, so my usb seems to work properly, isn't it? | 09:18 |
| EriC^^ | yottanami: what's the problem? | 09:18 |
| Fabou | tatertots, if it is not enough I can now restart my mac and change ports. | 09:18 |
| aruns | jatt: https://bpaste.net/show/5f8615c1bb49 | 09:19 |
| ducasse | yottanami: try 'find /etc -name interfaces\*' maybe? | 09:19 |
| yottanami | EriC^^, The problem is my /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/networks/interfaces is generating after reboot and ignore my changes on an ubuntu server | 09:20 |
| * RtMFaerie advises looking into /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and /etc/resolvconf.conf | 09:20 | |
| EriC^^ | yottanami: that's the standard behavior for /etc/resolv.conf | 09:20 |
| EriC^^ | it says so in the file # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN | 09:21 |
| yottanami | EriC^^, So how should I change the nameserver? | 09:21 |
| jatt | aruns: looks fine I think the module is snd_intel8x0 and it's loaded. Please try to remove pulseaudio and retry | 09:21 |
| aruns | jatt: Using sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove? | 09:22 |
| yottanami | EriC^^, I tried adding `dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8` in interfaces but it changed after reboot too http://dpaste.com/1XX7S89 | 09:22 |
| ducasse | yottanami: the interfaces file says it is generated from interfaces.head and interfaces.tail, so you need to change those. | 09:22 |
| jatt | aruns: yes, you can try with apt-get some packages might depend on pulseaudio | 09:23 |
| EriC^^ | yottanami: try "man resolvconf" i've never done it myself so i can't really say how to do it | 09:23 |
| EriC^^ | yottanami: this might be helpful http://askubuntu.com/questions/239169/how-to-edit-etc-resolv-conf-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 09:23 |
| aruns | OK. | 09:23 |
| Giles1 | Hi how can I show the menubar in nautilus on ubuntu 15.10 | 09:23 |
| liuxg | does anyone know how to make a Live bootable USB disk on Ubuntu 16.04? I do not want to make it a CD-ROM disk. I want it to be the way in the pre 16.04 release. thanks | 09:24 |
| liuxg | the latest way on 16.04 of making a live USB is very different from the pre-releases. how can I switch it back to the previous one? | 09:26 |
| jim | liuxg, you can dd the live (or netinst) image to the usb | 09:27 |
| liuxg | jim thanks for your reply. I do not know why it is changed to be like this. | 09:28 |
| Giles1 | Hi how can I get to preferences in nautilus on ubuntu 15.10 | 09:28 |
| liuxg | jim, I cannot use the rest of the space on the USB any more.. it is just simply a CD-ROM. I do not like it at all. | 09:28 |
| Archeus_ | hi | 09:28 |
| Archeus_ | any idea how can i speed up internet | 09:29 |
| jim | get out and push? | 09:29 |
| tatertots | Archeus...easy just contact your ISP and obtain a faster speed internet tier | 09:30 |
| Archeus_ | lol | 09:30 |
| Archeus_ | i mean | 09:30 |
| Archeus_ | other laptops speed is very fast | 09:30 |
| Archeus_ | on this laptop | 09:30 |
| Archeus_ | it laggs up | 09:30 |
| jim | get a faster connection, improve your internal net (nic cards, hubs/switches, routers, modems) | 09:31 |
| peppeb | !list | 09:31 |

| yottanami | EriC^^, So where is interfaces.head ?! | 09:32 |
| tatertots | Archeus are these laptops you are comparing performance of equal in terms of computational power? | 09:33 |
| random_ | I'm unable to update via apt-get through terminal. | 09:33 |

| ex32 | Hello | 09:34 |
| jim | random_, why not? | 09:34 |
| jim | hi | 09:34 |
| random_ | I've gone through some places, like http://askubuntu.com/questions/158557/setting-proxy-from-terminal | 09:34 |
| random_ | still no luck. Hi jim | 09:34 |
| ex32 | i had install ubuntu on VM | 09:34 |
| yottanami | ducasse, There is just `/etc/network/interfaces` | 09:34 |
| tatertots | Hello ex32 | 09:35 |
| ducasse | yottanami: then it must be outside /etc, try /var for instance or ask whoever set up the server. | 09:35 |
| ex32 | im getting error when i install the updates | 09:35 |
| tatertots | what version of ubuntu is this VM you speak of running ex32? | 09:35 |
| random_ | jim -- any hope ? | 09:35 |
| ex32 | the latest one | 09:36 |
| ducasse | random_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy | 09:36 |

| numnum | any body online? | 10:06 |
| ph88 | i installed ubuntu on my laptop, it was showing the booting circle for like forever .. then i went into advanced options and booted from the previous kernel version which worked fine. How can i fix this situation? | 10:07 |
| numnum | any one? | 10:09 |
| bazhang | !gparted | numnum | 10:10 |
| ubottu | numnum: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 10:10 |
| numnum | will try TY | 10:10 |
| MonkeyDust | numnum backup, then boot from live dvd/usb, then use gparted | 10:10 |
| numnum | MonkeyDust: must i use live cd? | 10:11 |
| numnum | i dont have one right now... and wish to just allocate more room for this patition | 10:12 |
| ducasse | numnum: you can't resize a mounted partition. | 10:12 |
| tatertots | attempting to alter a mounted partition will always = FAIL | 10:12 |
| MonkeyDust | numnum you can't repair a cat engine, while driving | 10:12 |
| MonkeyDust | car* | 10:13 |
| numnum | any workaround? can i creat a new partitoin to work with this OS? i just need more ROOM to wotk with not necceserly for the OS to run from.. like windows can be installed on a diffrent drive from the proggrms | 10:13 |
| MonkeyDust | numnum how much free space do you have left | 10:14 |
| numnum | not enough to install diablo 2 + LOD | 10:15 |
| numnum | :P | 10:15 |
| tatertots | not enough room for diablo 2?.......numnum i think you better make some room on that hard drive sun | 10:17 |
| ducasse | numnum: the easiest way is to just do it from a liveusb | 10:18 |

| vikas_ | hello everyone! | 10:26 |
| tatertots | Hello vikas | 10:26 |
| vikas_ | I am new to linux so how can i build my career in linux | 10:26 |
| tatertots | lpi.org | 10:26 |
| numnum | how do i know what progrrams/stuff do i have on my system? for example i installed xgalaga how can i get a list of all proggrams installed on my computer? (pref to terminal list) | 10:26 |
| tatertots | @vikas http://www.lpi.org | 10:27 |
| ph88 | tatertots, when closing lid it seems to power off, when i type sudo hibernate i get this message hibernate:Warning: Tuxonice binary signature file not found. | 10:27 |
| ph88 | by the way i think my swap is encrypted but i'm not sure | 10:27 |
| === Swish[\] is now known as Swish | ||
| tatertots | there is also a ubuntu certified professional certification .........see how i shamelessly brought that back to ubuntu | 10:27 |
| vikas_ | @tatertots thankx | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | tatertots you can drop the @ ... type tat and then hit tab to autocomplete | 10:28 |
| tatertots | trying to stay on topic best i can *wink* | 10:28 |
| ducasse | ph88: you can't hibernate with encrypted swap. | 10:28 |
| vikas_ | yes its working | 10:28 |
| ph88 | how do i set my swap to be not encrypted ? | 10:28 |
| ph88 | at partitioning during install i just designated it as "swap" nowhere did i choose to encrypt it | 10:29 |
| tatertots | sweet thanks monkeydust | 10:29 |
| jim | ph88, did you set up other encryption? | 10:31 |
| ph88 | yes for my home folder | 10:31 |
| ducasse | ph88: then you have encrypted swap. | 10:31 |
| jim | what device is your home on? and, is it actually /home? | 10:32 |
| aruns | jatt: Hi, I am back. Thanks, sound is working again. | 10:33 |
| ph88 | i think on my other laptop i have an encrypted home but not encrypted swap | 10:33 |
| aruns | jatt: It didn't work the first time, don't know why it is working now, but oh well :P | 10:33 |
| jatt | aruns: great, what was the issue? | 10:33 |
| jatt | aruns: great, you got wit working with pulseaudio? | 10:33 |
| aruns | jatt: I think reinstalling pulseaudio and alsa fixed it, but I've had to reinstall them quite a lot recently. | 10:33 |
| aruns | jatt: It's 11 year old hardware, maybe it's just natural wear and tear? | 10:33 |
| jatt | aruns: yeah could be the hardware is too old and it's not supported properly with the latest versions | 10:34 |
| aruns | jatt: I think my headphones have also broken :( | 10:34 |
| jim | aruns, hmm... I think I get how reinstalling the packages can get your sound working, but there's a fair chance that can be done some other way | 10:35 |
| ducasse | ph88: i think the installer encrypts swap if you use other encryption to avoid leaks to disk. | 10:35 |
| ph88 | alright | 10:35 |
| aruns | jim: I think it's just that the hardware is getting old. | 10:35 |
| aruns | Oh, by the way. | 10:35 |
| aruns | Another silly question. | 10:35 |
| aruns | I want to learn how to start a cron job. | 10:35 |
| aruns | And I know how to use crontab -e and all that. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | man cron | 10:36 |
| aruns | But when it comes to the dates / times | 10:36 |
| aruns | I am not sure how the time format works. | 10:36 |
| ikonia | the wiki page shows example formats of date/time formats with clear description | 10:36 |
| aruns | Isn't cron deprecated anyway, though? | 10:36 |
| ikonia | no | 10:36 |
| aruns | I think launchd is its successor or something? | 10:36 |
| jim | aruns, so, that's the part you would have to study, so you can become familiar with it | 10:37 |
| ikonia | nope | 10:37 |
| jim | aruns, where did that info (of cron being deprecated) come from? | 10:37 |
| ikonia | thin air | 10:37 |
| jatt | cron is not deprecated, is pretty standard | 10:38 |
| jim | do you have a link? | 10:38 |
| tatertots | lol | 10:38 |
| ducasse | aruns: launchd is an osx thing, afaik. | 10:38 |
| aruns | Oh, that's probably why. | 10:38 |
| aruns | I use Ubuntu and Arch at home. | 10:38 |
| ikonia | ? so | 10:39 |
| aruns | Mountain Lion at work. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | even then, cron is still on the mac | 10:39 |
| aruns | So I think cron is deprecated on OS X. | 10:39 |
| aruns | I know, but I think more people are shifting towards launchd. | 10:39 |
| aruns | On OS X. | 10:39 |
| ikonia | aruns: you think wrong | 10:39 |
| jim | that would probably be because apple doesn't think people can learn it easily | 10:39 |
| MonkeyDust | aruns just read: launchd for linux was rejected, because it's 'copyright Apple' or so | 10:40 |
| ikonia | you appear to just be saying random things, cron is still used on mac os x and launchd is quite different than cron | 10:40 |
| ikonia | launchd is pretty much a stripped systemd | 10:40 |
| ikonia | nothing really to do with cron | 10:40 |
| aruns | ikonia: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/12819/why-is-cron-being-deprecated | 10:41 |
| ikonia | aruns: so ? | 10:41 |
| ikonia | I can write a stackexchange post that says "why-cron-is-stronger-then-ever" | 10:41 |
| jim | I see, so I guess I'm the only one who's not actively trying to make him feel bad about the way he's thinking... congratulations... | 10:43 |
| ikonia | no-one is trying to make him feel bad about the way he's thinking | 10:44 |
| ikonia | he is however on the wrong track in terms of info | 10:44 |
| jim | on top of which, he's produced a link with support for his position/question | 10:44 |
| ikonia | which isn't valid | 10:44 |
| jim | at least it explains why he's wondering | 10:45 |
| ikonia | as I said, I can write a stackexchange post that says ubuntu-replaces-sysstemd-with-pixe-dustr | 10:45 |
| ikonia | doesn't make it real | 10:45 |
| ikonia | Darwin pear.local 15.5.0 Darwin Kernel | 10:45 |
| tatertots | I'm going to read this link...you guys have peaked my curiousity | 10:45 |
| ikonia | 0 202 1 0 Fri10am ?? 0:00.30 /usr/sbin/cron | 10:45 |
| ikonia | current macosx release - cron, still very much in use | 10:45 |
| aruns | Sorry, maybe deprecated is the wrong word. | 10:46 |
| aruns | But I think that if we polled most OS X sysadmins. | 10:46 |
| ikonia | they would say "cron is going nowhere" | 10:47 |
| jim | [20160625 03:39:50] <ikonia> aruns: you think wrong <-- evidence in support of my comment, but ok, I'll drop it now, carry on... | 10:47 |
| ikonia | jim: he does think wrong....correcting that is not a crime, rather than let me him believe false info | 10:47 |
| bazhang | perhaps we could get to ubuntu support aruns | 10:47 |
| ikonia | very true | 10:47 |
| aruns | bazhang: lol | 10:47 |
| bazhang | aruns, not joking | 10:48 |
| aruns | The only way to settle this is with a poll, then, surely? | 10:48 |
| bazhang | aruns, not here no | 10:48 |
| ikonia | aruns: nah, bazhang is right, we are moving way offtopic, lets focus back on the ubuntu issue here | 10:48 |
| aruns | OK. | 10:48 |
| jim | aruns, no, the best thing is just to drop it | 10:49 |
| tatertots | ok i read the link .....yawn | 10:49 |
| aruns | I guess we will agree to disagree? | 10:49 |
| aruns | OK. | 10:49 |
| aruns | That's fine then. | 10:49 |
| bazhang | aruns, lets take the chit caht to some other location please | 10:49 |
| aruns | bazhang: Yes, I have agreed to drop it. | 10:49 |
| jim | cron is alive and well, and we're back to looking at how the time spec in cron works | 10:51 |
| ikonia | the wiki documents it well with clear examples | 10:51 |
| ikonia | really good line diagram pointing at each value | 10:51 |
| tatertots | :) | 10:51 |
| jim | there was a cron evaluator I saw yesterday | 10:52 |
| ikonia | evaluator, as in worked out the values for you ? | 10:52 |
| akik | aruns left? | 10:53 |

| kernelhelp | i'm trying to remove old kernel with autoremove but the ouput is: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 11:00 |
| kernelhelp | is this command safe? | 11:00 |

| jatt | that doesn't look safe at all ☠ | 11:01 |
| kernelhelp | jim: 3.19.0-47-generic | 11:01 |
| jim | kernelhelp, ok, and what kernel do you want to get rid of? (is it just one, or?) | 11:02 |
| jim | kernelhelp, I would not consider that command safe | 11:02 |
| ikonia | easy option, open the package manager, search for the linux-image package, remove unused versions | 11:03 |
| ikonia | clean, simple, easy, safe | 11:03 |
| tatertots | dahlia thanks for confirming you are using ubuntu 12.04 | 11:03 |

| serb_ | i am considering hosting some stuff locally to simulate a server usin ubuntu server | 11:04 |
| kernelhelp | jim: all but current one | 11:04 |
| serb_ | idk anything about servers | 11:04 |
| tatertots | wait there's two of you? | 11:04 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: yep there they are in synaptic, too easy! | 11:04 |
| tatertots | oh nvm | 11:05 |
| serb_ | i wana use ubuntu server for this but theres like 4 versions and i dont know what any of them mean | 11:05 |
| dahlia | while we're at it, I'm on kubuntu 15.04 :) | 11:05 |
| jim | serb_, the best thing to do first, is ask a specific question,,, include as much detailed information as you know | 11:05 |
| tatertots | hello serv | 11:05 |
| serb_ | ok | 11:05 |
| jatt | install ubuntu-server for server | 11:05 |
| serb_ | im planning on makin a highly interactive and snappy website with roughly 700+ 5 to 30 second videos tht loop seamlessly | 11:06 |
| jim | kernelhelp, ok, take a look at your own ls /boot (it'll show the kernels that are there) | 11:06 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: clearly not too easy as thats how you are meant to do it | 11:06 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: just open the package manager, find the kernels click remove, use your system safely | 11:06 |
| serb_ | i ve been told tht i gotta start this locally to test it by usin ubuntu server | 11:06 |
| ikonia | serb_: ubuntu desktop is a great server platform | 11:07 |
| ikonia | it also has lots of tools to make life easier for you | 11:07 |
| serb_ | https://gyazo.com/c290cc81a5a8fc96f266cab5d0ca85b6 theres these 4 things and i have no idea if i shld just install the default ubuntu server thing or one of these | 11:07 |
| ikonia | serb_: what do you want to do with the server ? | 11:07 |
| serb_ | uh i wanna put my clips there and try and emulate how it would work to endusers | 11:08 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: gui over command line how you should do it? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: pardon ? | 11:08 |
| serb_ | ikonia: y not ubuntu server ? | 11:08 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: <ikonia> kernelhelp: clearly not too easy as thats how you are meant to do it | 11:08 |
| ikonia | serb_: the desktop release is a great server platform, but it has tools to make life easier for you | 11:09 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: I'm not sure what you're asking | 11:09 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: you want to remove obsolete packages, just open the package manager and remove them | 11:09 |
| jatt | you don't need openstack unless you want your website be hosted by a full cloud solution | 11:09 |
| serb_ | ikonia: so u suggest i install ubuntu desktop instead of ubuntu server on my "server" pc | 11:09 |
| serb_ | jatt: thanx | 11:09 |
| ikonia | serb_: yes, that seems a simple entry point for you | 11:09 |
| serb_ | ikonia: Thanx | 11:09 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: yeah so that's the easy way to do it like i said above (re: too easy) | 11:10 |
| jatt | probably you just need apache webserver and other packages that depend on how your website is going to be developed/created (e.g. java, etc.) | 11:10 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: why would you not do it "easy" ? | 11:10 |
| jim | kernelhelp, I'd personally use the command line... I tend to look at what's there and what's current first, then remove | 11:10 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: thats wy people make the tools to make using the system easy | 11:10 |
| ikonia | you can also use the command line interface to the package manager with the "autoclean" function | 11:10 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: i WANT an easy way lol ...autoclean, not autoremove? | 11:11 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: ahh the easy way is the package manager | 11:11 |
| kernelhelp | jim: by looking at my aforementioned command do you have any clue what it does? | 11:11 |
| kernelhelp | ikonia: :-) | 11:11 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: autoremove is the right flag, clean is for the package daa | 11:12 |
| ikonia | data | 11:12 |
| ikonia | kernelhelp: the command you pasted is a messy way to list the kernel packages, work out what's not current, strip it down to a file name and pass it into apt-get purge | 11:12 |
| ikonia | it's over the top mess for something that is simple | 11:12 |
| jim | kernelhelp, it tries to form package names, which it "forwards" to a package removal command (which, btw, has been given a lot of power, like an uncovered knife) | 11:13 |
| jim | kernelhelp, one sec... | 11:13 |
| dahlia_ | when i run sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5.96 | 11:14 |
| dahlia_ | when i run sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5.6 | 11:14 |
| dahlia_ | i get this error | 11:14 |
| dahlia_ | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 11:14 |
| dahlia_ | libapache2-mod-php5.6 : Depends: apache2-api-20120211 but it is not installable | 11:14 |
| dahlia_ | E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. | 11:14 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: have you added ppa's | 11:15 |
| ikonia | it appears you have depedencies that cannot be met | 11:15 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, what should i do ? | 11:15 |
| ikonia | this is noramlly caused by an external repo that is poor at managing dependencies with the current system | 11:15 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: have you added PPA's ? | 11:15 |
| jim | kernelhelp, if you look at ls /boot/vmlinuz*, you can see how many kernels (and which ones) you have to get rid of (but it will also list the current one, which you don't want to get rid of) | 11:15 |
| jatt | dahlia_: use apt-get -f | 11:16 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, yes i added PPAs for php | 11:16 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: why ? | 11:16 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: why are you not using the php packages that ubuntu provides | 11:16 |
| dahlia_ | i am on ubuntu 12.04 | 11:16 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: yes, I understand that, | 11:16 |
| ikonia | that wasn't my question | 11:17 |
| dahlia_ | i need to install laravel | 11:17 |
| ikonia | ...again, not my question | 11:17 |
| dahlia_ | and laravel needs php5.6 | 11:17 |
| ikonia | ok, | 11:17 |
| dahlia_ | and i added PPAs for php5.6 | 11:17 |
| ikonia | so the common sense thing would be to upgrade your release/reinstall with ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 which has the later versions and are still in support | 11:17 |
| ikonia | rather than trying to use unsupported repos that as you can see don't really work on a release thats going out of support | 11:18 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, if i dont upgrade what should i do while i am on ubuntu 12.04 | 11:19 |
| ikonia | my advice is that you upgrade | 11:19 |
| ikonia | it is the better longer term option than using a dying release with unsupported broken PPA's | 11:20 |
| ducasse | dahlia_: basically, if you insist on doing this on 12.04 whatever you do will be unsupported. | 11:20 |
| dahlia_ | ducasse, i dont have a good internet for upgrade | 11:20 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: do you have much data on this machine ? | 11:21 |
| tatertots | dahlia you could just enjoy being on 12.04 until you can upgrade | 11:21 |
| dahlia_ | i need to install mbstring for php | 11:21 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, no i dont have much data | 11:21 |
| dahlia_ | but it is an old machin | 11:21 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: ok - so I would suggest a.) backup your data b.) get an ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 DVD c.) re-install d.) restore any data you want to keep | 11:22 |
| dahlia_ | just 1 GB ram and old graphic card and not compatible with new versions of ubuntu | 11:22 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: 12.04 had pretty much the same requirements | 11:23 |
| jim | dahlia_, you could bring your current dist to be as uptodate as possible, and further split that process into download, and package install | 11:23 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: you could always use lubuntu/xubuntu for a lighter resource profile | 11:23 |
| === rigved is now known as Guest1319 | ||
| ikonia | jim: as he's already broke it with the PPA and seems to be at quite a basic level, I'd not suggest upgrading as the dependency matching will fail and he'd be left with a broken install | 11:24 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, can i install laravel on lubuntu ? | 11:24 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: yes | 11:24 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: lubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu/ubuntu are the same product with different desktop environments | 11:24 |
| jim | hmm, how can you tell it's broken? | 11:25 |
| dahlia_ | how much is xubuntu ? | 11:25 |
| bekks | dahlia_: how much what? | 11:25 |
| dahlia_ | bekks, volume | 11:25 |
| jatt | it's $2.50 | 11:25 |
| bekks | dahlia_: How much space do you have? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | jim: because he's already getting package conflicts after installing a broken PPA | 11:26 |
| ikonia | part of the packages from the PPA are already installed and so when the upgrade does the dependency / upgrade check it will fail | 11:26 |
| dahlia_ | i have 12 GB | 11:26 |
| jim | can he remove the packages that came from the ppa, then remove the ppa from his sources.list? | 11:26 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: approx 2GB for an install of any ubuntu system | 11:26 |
| ikonia | jim: right, and he's already struggling with basic package managment | 11:27 |
| jim | but is it possible to do that, and will it fix the current breakage? | 11:28 |
| ikonia | should fix it yes, but it won't allow him to move forward to his real goal | 11:28 |
| dahlia_ | how can i download xubuntu i dont have torrent | 11:28 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/mirrors/ | 11:29 |
| ikonia | find the mirror closest to you | 11:29 |
| jim | what do you have now? | 11:29 |
| wuseman | links http://www.ubuntu.com > go to downloads, press the download button, otherwise wget is pretty neat ikonia | 11:29 |
| wuseman | Or i can scp it to you aswell, ya the options are unlimited kinda but ikonia gave you the the best tip if you got gui | 11:30 |
| jatt | sudormrf: apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 11:30 |
| * RtMFaerie shivers at GUIs | 11:30 | |
| dahlia_ | how can i know my system needs 64 bit or 32 bit? | 11:32 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: what are you currently running | 11:32 |
| wiehan | I don't know what is up with my system, recently installed a fresh 16.04. Updated and now I can't open firefox (or if it opens it is really unresponsive), I tried installing chromium, and it also runs pretty unstable, slow and for example when I try to sign in to google services that log-in box kinda hangs. Ubuntu browser doesn't even open. What could be the thing in common with all the browsers that they all run pretty unstable all of a sudden? | 11:32 |
| dahlia_ | i have 32 bit now | 11:32 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: use 32bit then | 11:32 |
| ikonia | just keep it simple for you | 11:32 |
| dahlia_ | but i installed that with no reason | 11:32 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: how much ram do you have ? | 11:32 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, 1 GB ram | 11:33 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: just use 32bit | 11:33 |
| wuseman | Good choice! | 11:33 |
| ikonia | keep it simple | 11:33 |
| tatertots | 32bit is fine | 11:33 |
| jatt | wiehan: is xterm sluggish too? or only the browsers | 11:33 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, how can i know my cpu is 32 bit or 64 bit? | 11:33 |
| ikonia | it doesn't matter, you've just got 1gb of ram | 11:33 |
| ikonia | use 32bit - keep it simple | 11:33 |
| wiehan | jatt, opened xterm now, seems fine | 11:34 |
| wuseman | 32bit upto 3GB dahlia_ if you got 4gb or more use 64 | 11:34 |
| jim | dahlia_, take a look at less /proc/cpuinfo | 11:34 |
| jim | 1gb ram is somewhat small for this stuff | 11:35 |
| wuseman | Nah, fluxbox running on lower then that. | 11:35 |
| dahlia_ | jim, which field show 32 or 64 ? | 11:36 |
| wuseman | SO it all depends on his needs and what he wanna do. | 11:36 |
| tatertots | gotta work with what hardware you have......we can't all own super computer........sadly :( | 11:36 |
| dahlia_ | address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual | 11:36 |
| jim | dahlia_, I forget... but you can do: cat /proc/cpuinfo | nc termbin.com 9999 | 11:36 |
| jatt | wuseman: can you try | 11:36 |
| jatt | strace google-chrome | 11:36 |
| jatt | from a terminal and see what happens in the terminal when the browser gets sluggish, maybe there is a clue | 11:36 |
| ikonia | dahlia_: use 32bit | 11:37 |
| jim | it should give you a url back, show that to us | 11:37 |
| wuseman | dahlia_: do cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep 64 and see | 11:37 |
| wuseman | jatt: what | 11:37 |
| wuseman | i dont like google-chrome? | 11:37 |
| wuseman | SOrry | 11:37 |
| tatertots | dahlia just google the make/model of your CPU based on the info u see | 11:37 |
| jatt | wuseman: I meant wiehan | 11:38 |
| jatt | my sincere apologies | 11:38 |
| tatertots | you will see more info than you care to know about your CPU | 11:38 |
| wuseman | ah :) | 11:38 |
| dahlia_ | ikonia, i am downloading 32 bit | 11:38 |
| wiehan | jatt, will install google chorme now. | 11:38 |
| tatertots | including it being 32bit | 11:38 |
| tatertots | or 64bit | 11:38 |
| BluesKaj | hiyas all | 11:38 |
| wiehan | jatt did you want me to run something in terminal | 11:38 |
| tatertots | Hiya BlueKaj | 11:38 |
| jim | heya | 11:38 |
| BluesKaj | hey tatertots, jim | 11:39 |
| jatt | wiehan: yes to start your browser from the terminal like: | 11:39 |
| jatt | strace google-chrome | 11:39 |
| jatt | to see if you get more information on the terminal when the browser gets irresponsive | 11:39 |
| tatertots | dahlia you could also post the make/model of your CPU in the room..then we can all know what you have and finally put the questions about your cpu to bed | 11:39 |
| === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo | ||
| tatertots | and i'm actually kinda curious which cpu you have on top of that lol | 11:40 |

| === sul-fyr is now known as sulfyr | ||
| dahlia_ | what ? | 11:45 |
| wiehan | matt_ sorry, accidently closed xchat, Official chrome seems stable, however firefox and chromium and ubuntu browser really sucky. | 11:45 |
| wuseman | Why do they suck? | 11:46 |
| bekks | wiehan: Whats the actual issue, besides not using polite english? | 11:46 |
| wiehan | wuseman, all three mentioned are laggy, buggy, and freezy after update and after nvidia drivgers.. don't know if it is related | 11:46 |
| ikonia | wiehan: so the problem is nvidia then not "suck" browsers | 11:47 |
| ikonia | wiehan: what video card do you actually have | 11:47 |
| jatt | good opportunity to move from firefox to chrome 😸 | 11:47 |
| wiehan | ikonia, sure, but all three now really unstable | 11:49 |
| jim | dahlia_, I can't tell from that... it could be 64 bit... but 32 should work | 11:49 |
| tatertots | wiehan are your browsers laggy, buggy and freezy when booted to livecd/liveusb? | 11:49 |
| wiehan | ikonia, How do I quicky check exact model again? | 11:49 |
| ikonia | wiehan: lspci will show you the card | 11:49 |
| ducasse | dahlia_: it's 32 bit with pae. | 11:50 |
| wiehan | ikonia, NVIDIA Corporation GF110 [GeForce GTX 570 Rev. 2] (rev a1) | 11:50 |
| wiehan | tatertots, I don't know, don't have a chance to test with liveboot, | 11:51 |
| wuseman | :p | 11:51 |
| wiehan | tatertots, Firefox were fine until update and nvidia drivers | 11:51 |
| bekks | wiehan: Which driver are you using, actually? | 11:54 |
| wiehan | bekks, proprietary, tested 361.42 | 12:00 |
| dave_804 | Hey, I'm running Ubuntu on a laptop. When I suspend and put it in my bag it turns on. I then heats up like crazy | 12:22 |
| dave_804 | Anyone know how to disable the turn on with screen up. | 12:23 |
| bekks | dave_804: So shut it doen instead. | 12:23 |
| dave_804 | Yeah.. I've been doing that but hardly the point of installing linux if I can't get it to do what I want. | 12:24 |
| bekks | dave_804: I dont think that applies to "shutdown your laptop instead of suspending before putting it into a bag". :) | 12:26 |

| EriC^^ | hi anonymice | 13:20 |
| anonymice | I cant open software centre if i click on the icon | 13:20 |
| anonymice | I can access software-center only through terminal through sudo | 13:21 |
| calLuans | it's bettere install lubuntu 14.04 or 16.04? | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try to launch it from the terminal with "ubuntu-software" | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | calLuans: 16.04 | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: which command are you trying? | 13:21 |
| anonymice | I can run it through "sudo software-center" | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: hmm i dont have that command | 13:22 |
| anonymice | But without sudo , I cant | 13:22 |
| calLuans | there aren't issues on it? i wanted wait until 16.04.1 | 13:22 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: which ubuntu? | 13:22 |
| anonymice | 14.04 | 13:22 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Any way I could own root privilages only for this? | 13:22 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: you shouldn't need to | 13:23 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: what happens when you run software-center without sudo? | 13:23 |
| anonymice | permission denied, EriC^^ | 13:24 |
| calLuans | bye | 13:24 |
| rahtgaz | Is it ok if I download the python-gtk2.8 from Trusty and install it on Xenial? This package is no longer available on synaptic in 16.04. | 13:24 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try rm -r ~/.cache/software-center | 13:24 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Still the same | 13:25 |
| ducasse | rahtgaz: don't mix packages from different releases, that's a bad idea. | 13:27 |
| acerimmer | rahtgaz, if you need an older python I think the saner option would be to virtualbox trusty | 13:27 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Any chance? Else, thanks for trying. | 13:28 |
| rahtgaz | yes. but that's stock advise. I'm asking for this particular case. I'm looking at the package files listing and there doesn't seem to be any conflict. It would install support for both wxpython 2.8 and 3.0 | 13:28 |
| EriC^^ | i have no idea anonymice to be honest, try find ~ ! -user $USER worth a shot i guess | 13:28 |
| acerimmer | rahtgaz, test it out and see. be prepared with repairs ... | 13:29 |
| clovik | hello, i want install ubuntu on flash drive, question is can i install it on the same drive from which is booted ubuntu installer? | 13:29 |
| EriC^^ | rahtgaz: you could have dpkg put it in another dir in /usr/local or /opt maybe and point doomsday to it maybe? | 13:29 |
| ducasse | rahtgaz: wait for an updated package that works on xenial? | 13:29 |
| EriC^^ | clovik: no | 13:30 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: A list came | 13:30 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: aha, those are files not owned by your user, do you have any special permissions you've set yourself? | 13:30 |
| rahtgaz | ducasse: not sure it will work, ducasse. Xenial moved to wxpython 3.0. Not sure why they would remove 2.8 support. That's a different branch and many application still use wxpython 2.x | 13:31 |
| EriC^^ | clovik: you don't have another usb? | 13:31 |
| rahtgaz | I will test it out on a VM and see if I can install both versions alongside | 13:31 |
| clovik | EriC^^: have. ok i will install it from another usb | 13:32 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: No. I am sure I havent done anything like this. By the way, all the tought commands I have typed are from yourself EriC^^. Whenever I couldnt solve a disturbing problem, I came here. And you have solved everything. | 13:32 |
| EriC^^ | clovik: ok | 13:32 |
| lerner | This is about macchanger: https://askubuntu.com/questions/775057/how-can-i-set-mac-address-using-the-command-line-in-ubuntu-16-04/779464#779464 , but I don't understand how to use nmcli to "nmcli connection modify --temporary <connection_name> 802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address 00:60:1B:EB:F8:73 nmcli connection up <connection_name>" are those 2 commands? | 13:32 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: *tough commands | 13:32 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: ok, try sudo chown -R $USER: ~ | 13:33 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Still error. Permission "denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/namespace_packages.txt' " | 13:34 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try ls -l $(which python) | 13:35 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: This is the output "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 9 2015 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7" | 13:36 |
| jim | anonymice, the permission denied, was as a result of which command? | 13:36 |
| rahtgaz | ducasse, acerimmer, EriC^^: didn't need to test. It won't work. The package itself is fine. Then checked its depends and that would ruin the installation. Only recourse is to request doomsday developers to update their bloody libraries :) | 13:36 |
| anonymice | software-center, jim | 13:36 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try ls -l /usr/bin/python2.7 | 13:36 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: "-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3345416 Jun 23 2015 /usr/bin/python2.7" | 13:37 |
| acerimmer | rahtgaz, sorry to hear amigo. but at this point, *all* dev's should be upgrading their python version IMHO | 13:37 |
| rahtgaz | indeed | 13:37 |
| jim | so did you run the chown $USER: ...? | 13:37 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: hmm, i guess software-center is trying to use the python2.7 in /usr/local somehow and the dirs there have a permissions issue | 13:38 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: So, you know how to solve this? Great | 13:38 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/namespace_packages.txt | 13:39 |
| jim | (that wasn't the exact command... recursive forms of chown and a few others are very powerful, could fix a bunch, or break a bunch of stuff... so I didn't post the exact cmd) | 13:39 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: -rw-r----- 1 root staff 7 Apr 5 17:12 /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/namespace_packages.txt | 13:39 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: try as your user ls -l /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO | 13:41 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: just see if it lists the files or no | 13:41 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: What does trying as user mean? Also when I simply copy pasted it, I got a list of files | 13:42 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: without sudo or root i mean | 13:42 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | Hello guys. I have a windows 7 SP1 iso file and I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS OS on my SSD Harddrive. I have an internal Harddrive which has two partitions fully empty. I have a UEFI bios. I also have a usb stick. How can I install this f* thing? Help me guys. | 13:42 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | I want to set up the windows on my external device | 13:43 |
| EriC^^ | HaydarOzturk34: make a fat32 and extract the windows iso there and boot it in uefi mode | 13:43 |
| Evan | If I add a line in /etc/security/limits.conf AFTER the "#End of file" line, it should still take effect, right, as it's just a comment? | 13:43 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | The last part I don't know. How to boot in Uefi | 13:44 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | do I gonna loose anything? | 13:44 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: did it work as your user? | 13:44 |
| anonymice | EriC^^:Yes. So I got a list of programs.http://paste.ubuntu.com/17855720/ | 13:44 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: ok, try sudo chmod +x /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/protobuf-3.0.0b2.post2-py2.7.egg/EGG-INFO/namespace_packages.txt | 13:44 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: sorry, sudo chmod +r not +x | 13:45 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | EriC^^: What should I do tho boot in UEFI | 13:46 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Yeaaa. It worked. | 13:46 |
| EriC^^ | HaydarOzturk34: select uefi in the bios and if you have a boot options menu choose uefi usb | 13:46 |
| HaydarOzturk34 | Okay I'll try that thanks mate | 13:46 |
| anonymice | EriC^^: Last two times, you helped me I have donated to Ubuntu, would do it again soon. Thanks. | 13:46 |
| EriC^^ | HaydarOzturk34: no problem | 13:47 |
| EriC^^ | anonymice: no problem | 13:48 |

| EriC^^ | user123456: i think it's ubuntu monospace | 14:15 |
| user123456 | EriC^^, thx | 14:16 |

| BluesKaj | akik, uefi boot only applies to drives on pcs with a bios/uefi boot partiton on GPT partiton tables | 14:30 |
| EriC^^ | i think he's using a msdos partition table | 14:30 |
| BluesKaj | EriC^^, yeah i use a dos table on my uefi/bios equipped laptop | 14:32 |
| EriC^^ | yup, ubuntu doesn't mind it, windows is sort of picky about that | 14:33 |

| wintermute_ | hello everyone | 14:34 |
| Kouneix | Hello everyone, i have some troubles to install my wifi card, can someone helps ? I did tried from the internet and still it doesn't works | 14:34 |
| SchrodingersScat | hello dr wintermute_ | 14:34 |
| wintermute_ | why I can't boot from usb at UEFI mode? | 14:34 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: are you haydar? | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | EriC^^, well I was frustrated by the gpt and the uefi so I wiped the hdd and installed msdos pt then kubuntu and W7 | 14:35 |
| wintermute_ | what's haydar? lol | 14:35 |
| damien | Kouneix: Have you tried through the Synaptic Package Manager? | 14:35 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: nevermind :D | 14:35 |
| wintermute_ | lol :D | 14:35 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: there was a person here asking the same question then he pinged out :D | 14:36 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: so you're trying to install ubuntu? | 14:36 |
| wintermute_ | oh lol, indeed | 14:36 |
| wintermute_ | well, I'm on ubuntu now | 14:36 |
| Kouneix | @damien no, will it help ? i did tried with apt-get install | 14:36 |
| wintermute_ | I had windows 7 on my ssd, then I installed ubuntu and Windows 7 wouldn't boot anymore | 14:36 |
| Kouneix | damien no, will it help ? i did tried with apt-get install | 14:37 |
| wintermute_ | I didn't know Ubuntu was installed on legacy mode | 14:37 |
| damien | Go to the Synaptic Package Manager and then select the correct driver for your WiFi Card. | 14:37 |
| akik | EriC^^: did haydar create a uefi partition table on the usb stick? | 14:37 |
| EriC^^ | akik: no idea | 14:38 |
| akik | gpt | 14:38 |
| wintermute_ | I followed the explanation on ubuntu's site on how to create a usb flash stick of ubuntu @ UEFI | 14:38 |
| wintermute_ | but didn't work | 14:38 |
| damien | Yes it should work,provided you install the correct driver,and synaptic package manager has your driver | 14:38 |
| wintermute_ | right now i have windows and ubuntu on legacy mode, it's working fine | 14:38 |
| EriC^^ | akik: i know what you mean, i meant that i've no clue if he did, i wanted him to pastebin sudo parted -l to see that | 14:38 |
| wintermute_ | just wanted to know what happened | 14:38 |
| damien | what wifi card do you have? | 14:39 |
| fch | winter, i think you deleted the windows partition during ubuntu setup. | 14:40 |
| Kouneix | damien: i'm trying | 14:40 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: if both are working fine right now then they were installed in legacy mode all along i'd guess | 14:40 |
| wintermute_ | yes, they are now | 14:40 |
| damien | yeah just look up in the synaptic package manager for your wifi card | 14:40 |
| wintermute_ | I prevent UEFI boot @ bios to guarantee a legacy mode boot | 14:40 |
| Kouneix | damien: i'm RTL8723 | 14:40 |
| damien | what brand is it | 14:41 |
| Kouneix | damien: I have a RTL8723BE | 14:41 |
| damien | who makes it? | 14:41 |
| wintermute_ | I just wanted to know why I couldn't boot on UEFI from usb | 14:41 |
| wintermute_ | fch, on the first installation, probably, but then I installed both on legacy, and now it's ok | 14:41 |
| Kouneix | damien: Realtek | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | Kouneix, atheros has only only ever been a HUGE pita so far as wifi support is concerned. if you can easily replace it, do so. | 14:41 |
| EriC^^ | wintermute_: maybe you need to disable secureboot, how exactly did you make the ubuntu usb? | 14:41 |

| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: well you could try to recover windows 7 you might be lucky and nothing is touched, otherwise i'd recommend to get whatever data you can from it and reinstall fresh | 14:45 |
| cfhowlett | Kouneix, so you do or do not have a broadcom chipset wifi? | 14:45 |
| MessedUpMyPc | yes wintermute_ before i did wrongly low level formatt to remove w10 everything worked fine f2 from bios usb keys and dvd at boot | 14:45 |

| hamm | Why is Ubuntu spyware? | 14:50 |
| MessedUpMyPc | so you saying i need reinstall the bios back or you can give me a ubuntu teminal command to low level formatt so i can install w7 back? | 14:50 |
| wintermute_ | MessedUpMyPc, if you really can't get anything from bios, then i suppose something is really messed up indeed | 14:50 |
| wintermute_ | I really don't know what to do, but i'm a noob | 14:50 |
| MessedUpMyPc | yes bios is gone and with it all dvd and usb sticks boot | 14:50 |
| wintermute_ | It should be possible to fix it | 14:50 |
| MessedUpMyPc | f2 only gives ubuntu mate splashscreen of what i need to recovery do | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | hamm, it isn't. stop trolling and spreading fud. | 14:51 |
| MessedUpMyPc | is there a low level formatt command you guys can help me do from terminal to remove at least ubuntu and get back to mate? | 14:51 |
| MessedUpMyPc | to windows 7 i mean? | 14:51 |
| cfhowlett | MessedUpMyPc, no. you truly and really do need your bios. see acer support for options. | 14:51 |
| MessedUpMyPc | ok if i download the bios wich i got here | 14:51 |
| MessedUpMyPc | can you guys help me install it back? | 14:52 |
| MessedUpMyPc | as i got the latest bios right here | 14:52 |
| cfhowlett | MessedUpMyPc, this is not a hardware support channel. see what acer tells you. | 14:52 |
| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: when you say low level format, what exactly do you mean? | 14:52 |
| hamm | cfhowlett: explsin this https://www.fsf.org/blogs/rms/ubuntu-spyware-what-to-do | 14:52 |
| EriC^^ | (the thing you did first to remove windows 7) | 14:52 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, if your drives boot then your bios is still working , some laptops have powerup bios button beside the power button , my lenovo has one | 14:52 |
| MessedUpMyPc | to wipe the hard disk as i did to remove w10 from then the problem started | 14:52 |
| MessedUpMyPc | like 100% formatt everything back to 0 | 14:53 |
| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: how'd you do that? | 14:53 |
| MessedUpMyPc | low level | 14:53 |
| EriC^^ | where? how? | 14:53 |
| cfhowlett | hamm, again, wrong channel. you are being rude and disruptive. | 14:53 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i did it with some programs for windows but did it wrong | 14:53 |
| EriC^^ | what's the name of the program? | 14:53 |

| haydar | Guys How can I set efi partion to my external hard drive to boot up with Windows 7? | 14:55 |
| haydar | I have two partions on my external harddrive nfs and fat32 format | 14:55 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i mean if you guys don't help me im stuck like this | 14:55 |
| EriC^^ | haydar: are you on ubuntu right now? | 14:55 |
| haydar | The bios doesn't let me to boot from it | 14:55 |
| haydar | yes I am | 14:55 |
| EriC^^ | haydar: type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:56 |
| EriC^^ | haydar: also sudo efibootmgr -v | nc termbin.com 9999 | 14:56 |
| ducasse | MessedUpMyPc: try in ##hardware maybe | 14:56 |
| fch | Messed, ##hardware | 14:56 |
| haydar | done. now what EriC^^ _? | 14:56 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, your bios is not gone if your laptop boots to a usb | 14:56 |
| MessedUpMyPc | BIOSAcer1. Phase-in new AMD Agesa code 2. Add new HWID support2.073.2 MB2014/01/02 | 14:56 |
| MessedUpMyPc | this is my bios i find it | 14:56 |
| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: it's probably a good idea to get the bios working again, i'd try to recover the data first though if you have important stuff on it (ps as you're using mate right now the data might be overwritten..) | 14:56 |
| MessedUpMyPc | on acer site | 14:56 |
| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: do you have any important data on it? | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | MessedUpMyPc, since you are on the acer site, find the bios flash directions and do what you must. | 14:57 |
| EriC^^ | i wonder how he could do it if it only works from windows | 14:57 |
| EriC^^ | maybe boot some other iso from ubuntu mate's grub? | 14:58 |
| EriC^^ | some bios flash thingies work from the uefi shell i think too | 14:58 |
| MessedUpMyPc | thanks people no nothing on it EriC^^ | 14:58 |
| MessedUpMyPc | empty pc | 14:58 |
| MessedUpMyPc | just os ubuntu mate half broken then nothing on | 14:59 |
| haydar | I think I need to make my external hardrive UEFI based to get this boot | 14:59 |
| hamm | cfhowlett: i'm perfectly polite. curious if you could answer question. you troll in response? | 14:59 |
| haydar | and it has to be windows set up too because otherwise it won't let me | 14:59 |
| EriC^^ | MessedUpMyPc: did you try to remove the battery and press the power button? | 14:59 |
| MessedUpMyPc | im using wired | 14:59 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i mean i use plugged no battery | 14:59 |
| MessedUpMyPc | what i need to do? | 14:59 |
| cfhowlett | hamm, don't like ubuntu. don't use ubuntu. don't bother me any further. | 15:00 |
| Kouneix_ | damien:d | 15:00 |
| damien | what does that mean | 15:01 |
| damien | ? | 15:01 |
| damien | the face from kouneix? | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | haydar, why? | 15:02 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: what do you mean broken ubuntu mate installation? you still get the grub boot loader? | 15:02 |
| haydar | I am trying to install Windows 7 on my external harddrive but it is not letting me do that | 15:02 |
| MessedUpMyPc | it tells me i got half broken ubuntu as partions are all messed up | 15:02 |
| haydar | UEFI based BIOS is making problem | 15:02 |
| MessedUpMyPc | so ubuntu mate tells me everything is broken on ubuntu mate also | 15:02 |
| Kouneix_ | damien: I did requested you in private | 15:02 |
| MessedUpMyPc | if you want to check from terminal we can see i hope you guys got a terminal way to wipe hard disk so can get back to w7 and from there fix bios | 15:03 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: it's just that if you get the grub boot loader, probably the bios is not at fault | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | haydar,W7 doen't need uefi boot | 15:03 |
| BluesKaj | haydar, is the drive formatted to NTFS? | 15:03 |
| haydar | But it doesn't work. I tried to boot it but it sends me to the grub rescue section | 15:03 |
| haydar | I have two drives one is fat32 other is ntfs | 15:04 |
| MessedUpMyPc | when i press f2 at boot i get basically ubuntu grub splascreen that ask all recovery modes etc but usb key boot and dvd boot and bios boot are gone | 15:04 |
| haydar | mybe I should install grub on that ? | 15:04 |
| MessedUpMyPc | so im stuck on ubuntu mate with messed up partions basically | 15:04 |
| ducasse | MessedUpMyPc: you really should ask in ##hardware | 15:04 |
| MessedUpMyPc | im trying register my nickname to speak there | 15:05 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: grub doesn't list usb key and dvd boot. it must've been the bios screen | 15:05 |
| BluesKaj | haydar, you should be asking in #windows anyway | 15:05 |
| haydar | But I am using ubuntu system If I were on windows there are bunch of other options I know | 15:05 |
| MessedUpMyPc | so you also think i messed up bios when i did wrongly low level formatt to remove that windows 10 akik ? | 15:05 |
| haydar | but here I don't know much | 15:05 |
| haydar | anyway thank you for trying... | 15:06 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: try to compose yourself :) and ask in ##hardware | 15:06 |
| haydar | If you can think a way to install EFI on external hard drive let me know | 15:06 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: i bought an acer f5 laptop some time ago and was really struggling to get into the bios | 15:06 |

| cfhowlett | :) | 15:11 |
| MessedUpMyPc | ok thanks everyone for help im asking in ##hardware now | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | we've had a couple of those types in here in the last while , it must be the weekend :-) | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, if you can boot to usb your bios bootsequence is still working, hence your bios is still there | 15:14 |
| blackthor | can i get some help troubleshoot boot issue? i booted from USB, installed ubuntu on a clean hard drive , but after reboot, only blinking cursor (not even grub menu?) | 15:14 |
| Haydar1 | #windows | 15:15 |
| MonkeyDust | !nomodeset | blackthor | 15:15 |
| ubottu | blackthor: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 15:15 |
| blackthor | thanks MonkeyDust, will try :) | 15:15 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i can't boot to bios BluesKaj when i f2 i jus get ubuntu mate splashscreen wich all the recovery modes etc | 15:15 |
| MessedUpMyPc | is that ok? | 15:15 |
| MonkeyDust | MessedUpMyPc try f12 | 15:16 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, do you get the ACER post page? | 15:16 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i basically lost ability to do usa key dvd and bios from boot seems with f2 ok i will try ill wait to see what they say in hardware you saying i changed my bios key with MonkeyDust or what happend? | 15:16 |
| ducasse | blackthor: a blinking cursor can also mean you don't have the right boot device selected | 15:17 |
| MessedUpMyPc | yes | 15:17 |
| blackthor | will check settings, ducasse | 15:17 |
| MessedUpMyPc | Acer post age says boot bios f2 but not working since wronly low level formatted to remove w10 and installed ubuntu mate wich is messed up partions says | 15:17 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i still get the Acer post page btw yes but says f2 for Bios | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | mes adress your answers to the questioner, otherwise there's chaos | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc,^ | 15:18 |
| MonkeyDust | MessedUpMyPc interpunction, dots and comma's, make your comments esier to read | 15:18 |
| MessedUpMyPc | ok sorry im just in panic now | 15:20 |
| MessedUpMyPc | so you want i try f12 or what i should do? | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, then your keyboard may be shifted by Fn | 15:20 |
| MonkeyDust | MessedUpMyPc i have an acer too, it's f12 to enter the bios, here | 15:20 |
| MessedUpMyPc | strange before the low level formatt to remove w10 the bios worked perfect with f2 and so did usb keys and dvd boot at boot unlike now | 15:21 |
| MonkeyDust | MessedUpMyPc no, i'm wrong, it's f12 to enter the boot device list | 15:21 |
| MessedUpMyPc | , as told f2 works but gives just ubuntu mate splashscreen not bios anymore | 15:21 |
| akik | same for me, f2 bios and f12 boot device list | 15:22 |
| aguitel | what the best way to hide my ass when downloading torrents ? | 15:22 |
| MessedUpMyPc | i will try f12 and brb , but why did i loose ability to boot usb keys and dvd's this is also strange and also f2 boots just ubuntu mate grub splashscreen | 15:22 |
| MessedUpMyPc | aguitel: pm | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | get a vpn, but this is not the place to ask for that kind of support, aguitel | 15:23 |
| akik | MessedUpMyPc: you're not triggering the bios setup with f2 if you see grub | 15:23 |
| MessedUpMyPc | ok ill try f12 thanks people brb | 15:24 |
| BluesKaj | MessedUpMyPc, do you still have the usb sticj plugged in | 15:24 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| blackthor | hmmm it appears that pc (dell) is trying to boot from harddrive, by default in legacy mode, but using F12 i CAN boot see the drive both in legacy and in UEFI mode, and selecting UEFI results in everything working fine. will try to find a way to default to UEFI in the bios. thanks for the help | 15:29 |
| ioria | blackthor, can you paste sudo parted -l ? (paste.ubuntu.com) | 15:31 |
| blackthor | ok fixed. it appeared to be a bios setting where i could define the default boot method (legacy or uefi). changed it and now it works. | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | blackthor, then you probly installed ubuntu in uefi mode, legacy will still work if you did iirc | 15:32 |
| blackthor | ic, i don't remember i was given the choice | 15:32 |
| blackthor | :) | 15:32 |
| ioria | blackthor, ok | 15:33 |
| BluesKaj | uefi is default then | 15:33 |
| ducasse | blackthor: if you boot the installer in uefi mode it will install in uefi mode. | 15:33 |
| blackthor | ducasse: ic. well, i created a bootable stick using lilicreator (on windows) that's probably it then. | 15:34 |
| MessedUpMyPc | I'm back so i did try f12 f11 nothing is really messed up basically since i did this low level formatt done in wrong way to remove w10 it messed up my pc that i can't get into my bios anymore , or lounch any usb key , dvd from boot when i try f2 f11 f12 all i get is Ubuntu Mate grub | 15:35 |

| OerHeks | and exFAT it is .. sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils # and open filemanager again | 15:47 |
| Jordan_U | MessedUpMyPc: It means that at one point you had a GPT label on this drive, and then you repartitioned using a tool that doesn't handle GPT properly and only changed the msdos partition table. | 15:47 |
| MSPaint_ | I'm not honestly sure if I installed with gpt or mbr | 15:48 |

| OerHeks | Jordan_U, i do see it http://paste.ee/p/qPEQp | 15:49 |
| Jordan_U | MSPaint_: If this is a BIOS based system then you should just use fixparts to wipe the GPT headers. If it's a UEFI based system then you should probably re-install Windows for UEFI. | 15:49 |
| MessedUpMyPc | or is also bios Jordan_U ? | 15:50 |
| MSPaint_ | Jordan_U: I am admittedly less than versed with UEFI. I think I can support either, via turning off secure boot is it? | 15:50 |
| MSPaint_ | Being that this is my first or second machine that is UEFI that I dualboot | 15:51 |
| Jordan_U | OerHeks: "HPFS/NTFS/exFAT" means that the partition type used is one commonly used for HPFS *or* NTFS *or* exFAT, AKA it's a partition that was likely created by Windows. Partition types are only hints at what might actually be there, and unambiguous hints at that. | 15:51 |

| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: absolutely none | 15:58 |
| MessedUpMyPc | now what i do? | 15:58 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: This is literally a fresh updated install with programs installed, nothing more | 15:58 |
| CrackerJack | chromium | 15:59 |
| OerHeks | sudo apt-get install chromium-browser | 15:59 |
| CrackerJack | my all syste reintal 64 bit only 1 browser | 15:59 |
| Jordan_U | MSPaint__: I believe that if you boot Windows' install media via UEFI then it will instll for UEFI, the same way as Ubuntu's installer, but I am not sure of that. ##windows might be able to confirm or correct that. | 15:59 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: I checked with the System Monitor, and nothing seems to spike. | 15:59 |
| dylan__ | The 2 main processes that take up memory are 'chromium-browser -enable-pinch' & 'chromium-browse' | 16:00 |
| ikonia | dylan__: so it is most likley your video cards xorg driver/configuration | 16:00 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: So just put UEFI USB above USB in the boot manager then I think? | 16:00 |
| ikonia | dylan__: what cpu is this ? | 16:00 |
| Jordan_U | MSPaint__: Sounds right. | 16:01 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: Sorry, I'm having a bit of a disconnect here | 16:01 |
| ducasse | dylan__: do you know which generation cpu this is? | 16:01 |
| dylan__ | Hang on a couple minutes, I'll find the information ducasse & ikonia | 16:01 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: so to make a new blank GPT label, I just right click the allegedly unallocated partition and select new and apply? | 16:02 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: the cpu is an Intel Celeron N3050 | 16:02 |
| dylan__ | the graphic card is just 'Intel HD Graphics' | 16:03 |
| ikonia | thats surprising | 16:03 |
| ikonia | dylan__: have you actually got flash installed ? | 16:03 |
| dylan__ | It didn't cross my mind, since I thought Flash doesn't support 60 FPS YouTube | 16:04 |
| ikonia | dylan__: no no, it's good that you've not | 16:05 |
| ikonia | dylan__: I just wanted to make sure it was using html5 | 16:05 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: nevermind figured it out in gdisk | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | most youtube is HTML5 altho some flash is still used | 16:05 |
| ikonia | if you've not installed flash on firefox, then clearly it can't use flash, which is good | 16:05 |
| dylan__ | Yeah I just checked and YouTube is showing it's in HTML5 | 16:06 |
| ikonia | dylan__: I was just double checking | 16:06 |
| MSPaint__ | Though I now have a protective MBR | 16:06 |
| dylan__ | I understand ikonia. Thanks for the help, by the way | 16:06 |
| Jordan_U | MSPaint__: You're supposed to have a protective MBR when you're using GPT :) | 16:06 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: thank you for that knowledge | 16:07 |
| ikonia | dylan__: could you give me a link to one of the videos thats performing poor | 16:07 |
| Jordan_U | MSPaint__: You're welcome. | 16:07 |
| MSPaint__ | Just realized that here http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/walkthrough.html | 16:07 |
| ikonia | lets have a look at the spec of what it's encoded with | 16:07 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: should I trim the drive or something now? All that Windows data is still there, just unallocated right? | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | wish all websites would switch to HTML5, it's being adopted, but too slowly for my taste | 16:08 |
| dylan__ | Sure ikonia . I'm using this video because I know how it looks without any lag and in 60 FPS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXIf5gAyrf4 | 16:08 |
| MSPaint__ | I wish the same | 16:08 |
| MSPaint__ | I started learning with HTML5 | 16:08 |
| MSPaint__ | So thankfully I have nothing to unlearn | 16:08 |
| Yuken | Apparently, I've accidentally uninstalled GRUB 2 in a UEFI system, so now it is just booting straight into Windows Boot Manager. How would I, with a liveCD/USB/etc, detect the operating systems on one disk and then reinstall GRUB2 onto that disk? | 16:09 |
| MSPaint__ | Yuken: Have you taken a look at super grub repair? | 16:09 |
| ikonia | dylan__: and on linux, that performs poor for you | 16:09 |
| dylan__ | Yes | 16:09 |
| Yuken | MSPaint__, nope. | 16:09 |
| MSPaint__ | Yuken: I usually use a grub repair live usb to fix it but there's likely another way | 16:10 |
| dylan__ | Which honestly is surprising to me since Ubuntu is way more lightweight than Windows (at least, it appears so from install size) | 16:10 |
| ikonia | dylan__: ok, thats like silk for me | 16:10 |
| ikonia | dylan__: ubuntu isn't more lightweight than windows, and some of the hardware support/technology support (flash for example) is much weaker | 16:10 |
| dylan__ | Ah, I'm sorry, I just made an assumption. | 16:10 |
| Yuken | ikonia, wat. Ubuntu, unless you're using KDE or Unity, is much lighter than Windows. | 16:11 |
| ikonia | dylan__: and you're %100 sure the cpu isn't spiking while you're watching this | 16:11 |
| dylan__ | I'll check again | 16:11 |
| ikonia | Yuken: no, it's really not | 16:11 |
| ikonia | dylan__: thank you - not saying you're wrong, just want to check for common symptoms | 16:11 |
| Yuken | ikonia, ... Ubuntu with Openbox or LXQt or XFCE will run on a mobile C2D from 2006 with ease. Windows 10 will not do that. | 16:11 |
| MSPaint__ | Jordan_U: thanks for the help. I'm gonna go try and reinstall things. Should I let Windows format the partition or is it gonna mess with GPT | 16:11 |
| Yuken | CPU: 2 x Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 1.50GHz w/ 2048 KB L2 Cache ** | 16:11 |
| Yuken | ikonia, while using about 1/5th the RAM at idle | 16:11 |
| MSPaint__ | PRaise openbox, btw | 16:11 |
| Yuken | ikonia, with an install size of 5GiB. | 16:11 |
| ikonia | Yuken: thats not really ubuntu though is it....thats a custom light weight build | 16:11 |
| Yuken | ikonia, wat. Install LXQt, XFCE, or just use plain Openbox (which is included with Ubuntu Desktop) | 16:12 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: Odd. Now it is showing that it's spiking... I must've seen it wrong. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | dylan__: thats ok, thats why I checked | 16:12 |
| Yuken | and Unity is still lighter than Windows, ikonia, just not by an insane amount. | 16:12 |
| dylan__ | Once the video is loaded it's stuck at 100% usage | 16:12 |
| ikonia | Yuken: it's really not | 16:12 |
| ikonia | dylan__: ok, thats what I was expecting | 16:12 |
| ikonia | dylan__: thats "good" | 16:12 |
| ikonia | dylan__: so it looks like xorg is really leaning on the cpu to run the video card | 16:13 |
| Yuken | ikonia, I'll just go install Unity right now and look at RAM and processor use. | 16:13 |
| ikonia | dylan__: is this 16.04 | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Yuken: I don't really care to be honest with you | 16:13 |
| dylan__ | Yes, it is. | 16:13 |
| Yuken | ikonia, but you're wrong ;). | 16:13 |
| ikonia | Yuken: I'm not but, enjoy it if it makes you feel better | 16:13 |
| dylan__ | I just installed the latest version that the Ubuntu website gave me | 16:13 |
| ikonia | dylan__: nothing wrong with that | 16:13 |
| ikonia | dylan__: can you go to /var/log and see if you have something that looks like Xorg.0.log | 16:14 |
| dylan__ | Sure. One second | 16:14 |
| Yuken | ikonia, I mean, even the Ubuntu Desktop requirements area kind've disagrees with you. | 16:15 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: I do | 16:15 |
| ikonia | Yuken: as I said, I don't really care | 16:15 |
| Yuken | An old 700MHz Celeron and 512MiB of RAM for Unity on Ubuntu Desktop. | 16:15 |
| ikonia | dylan__: can you "grep -i intel" against that log please | 16:15 |
| dylan__ | Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old | 16:15 |
| ikonia | dylan__: forget the "old" log | 16:15 |
| ikonia | dylan__: you should get quite a few results to that command | 16:15 |
| ikonia | dylan__: see if you have something that looks similar (not the same) to this | 16:16 |

| dylan__ | I'm not really sure how to do that command to be honest with you. I tried '/var/log/Xorg.0.log' -grep - i intel but that says permission denied | 16:17 |
| ikonia | dylan__: no problem "sudo grep -i intel /var/log/Xorg.9.log" | 16:17 |
| ikonia | sorry .0.log | 16:17 |
| ikonia | not .9 | 16:17 |
| dylan__ | Alright, that worked. One second, pasting it | 16:17 |
| nictrasavios | Hello, the default eclipse packages in the repo come without software sites, so install support for languages like ruby is impossible without looking up and manually entering the defaults. | 16:18 |
| dylan__ | Here you go: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17862805/ | 16:18 |
| nictrasavios | The defaults are often hard to find, and normal installations come with them - thus, nobody posts them online. | 16:18 |
| MessedUpMyPc | Jordan_U: did you see the pastebin you asked me ? | 16:19 |
| nictrasavios | I ended up installing their offical versions from their website, but I figured I should inform the #ubuntu channel of this problem. | 16:19 |
| MessedUpMyPc | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17861148/ | 16:19 |
| ikonia | dylan__: thats frustating that looks good, | 16:19 |
| ikonia | dylan__: can you do a test for me, can you view your test video at a much lower quality, say 480 | 16:20 |
| ikonia | dylan__: what happens with the cpu | 16:20 |
| dylan__ | Alright | 16:20 |
| ikonia | (and how does the video playbook look) | 16:20 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: The first 20 seconds of the video at 480p had my CPU running at 100%. After that it went down to around 80% | 16:21 |
| ikonia | so even then it's really testing it | 16:21 |
| dylan__ | The video seemed relatively smooth, except for an occasional 1 second freeze | 16:22 |
| Yuken | dylan__, what processor are you running? | 16:22 |
| ikonia | it's leaning on your cpu way too hard, | 16:22 |
| dylan__ | Another thing I Just noticed (the video started at 720p60FPS) is that there was screen tearing | 16:22 |
| ikonia | dylan__: I'd not worry about that | 16:22 |
| dylan__ | Yuken: an Intel Celeron N3050 | 16:23 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: anything else you can think of? | 16:26 |
| dylan__ | If not, I understand. | 16:26 |
| ikonia | dylan__: I'm just looking at that modules and xorg options to see if there is anything that can change the way that driver is being used | 16:27 |
| ikonia | dylan__: on paper that cpu/intel-hd graphics should be enough to deal with that quite easy, but for some reason xorg is pushing the weight onto the cpu generally rather than the graphics chip on the cpu | 16:28 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: let's hope there's a fix for that | 16:28 |
| ducasse | dylan__: you can try to enable tearfree and dri3, but not sure if it will work with your particular gpu. | 16:28 |
| ikonia | dylan__: every day I see people using this with no problem, there will be room to change the config, it's just a case of what | 16:29 |
| ikonia | ducasse: it's intel on cpu | 16:29 |
| ikonia | celeron | 16:29 |
| ducasse | ikonia: i know. | 16:29 |
| ducasse | ikonia: many of them support dri3, but it's not enabled by default. works fine on mine. | 16:30 |
| ikonia | tearfee is not an intel setting | 16:30 |
| ducasse | tearfree is mentioned as disabled in the paste you just posted, and works on mine (hd 4600) | 16:31 |
| ikonia | thats interesting | 16:32 |
| ikonia | it's not listed in the module docs | 16:32 |
| ducasse | both those settings have an effect, and it's noticeable. | 16:32 |
| ducasse | http://paste.ubuntu.com/17863531/ | 16:33 |
| ikonia | I can understand the dri3 one, just odd that tearfee isn't meantioned in the intel module docs | 16:33 |
| ikonia | give them a try, can't make it worse | 16:33 |
| dylan__ | I'm trying, but I can't find the config in etc/X11/ | 16:33 |
| dylan__ | Do I have to manually make that? | 16:34 |
| ikonia | dylan__: yes, | 16:34 |
| ikonia | dylan__: later versions don't use the config unless you use it | 16:34 |
| ikonia | create it | 16:34 |
| dylan__ | Alright. | 16:34 |
| sydney_untangle | Quick question all, so every time i resume from suspend my caps lock is enabled. Oddest thing. Do you guys know of any good workarounds? | 16:38 |
| wuseman | sydney_untangle: did you have a kernel panic recently? | 16:40 |
| sydney_untangle | wuseman: I believe that is what is happening when i try to turn my computer back on after it tries to shut down when my battery is almost dead. | 16:41 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: Made the file, now what do I do? Restart, I assume? | 16:42 |
| sydney_untangle | I told it in the power settings to power down, but it seems to be trying to hibernate instead. | 16:42 |
| wuseman | sydney_untangle: yeah thats correct. | 16:42 |
| ducasse | dylan__: restart lightdm | 16:42 |
| sydney_untangle | wuseman: But what do i do about it, thats my question. | 16:43 |
| ikonia | dylan__: just reboot if you want to be quick and simple with it | 16:43 |
| abhishek | how can I update nano, I am stuck at 2.5, there is 2.7 release. apt upgrade does upgrade it. | 16:43 |
| sydney_untangle | Sorry to put it so bluntly, but ive been trying to solve this all day. | 16:43 |
| abhishek | I meant does NOT upgrade it. | 16:43 |
| wuseman | sydney_untangle: have you try to change the battery setting 'When power is critically low' to shutdown instead hibernate? | 16:44 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: is this correct? http://paste.ubuntu.com/17864116/ or do I need to add the Identifier & driver flags? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | dylan__: should be enough | 16:44 |
| ducasse | abhishek: the version in 16.04 is 2.5.3-2 | 16:44 |
| dylan__ | Alright, restarting. Will be back in a sec. | 16:45 |
| abhishek | ducasse, how can I update? | 16:45 |
| mrinal | hello all | 16:45 |
| abhishek | upgrade I mean. :) | 16:45 |
| sydney_untangle | wuseman: That is what it is set to, but it doesn't shut down fully. It seems to go into some sort of hibernate, yet my power light flashes like it is in standby. | 16:45 |
| wuseman | Alright sydney_untangle | 16:46 |
| abhishek | ducasse, There is 2.6 stable release. I think 2.7 also. sudo apt update doesn't find the new version why/ | 16:46 |
| wuseman | sydney_untangle: Give me the output from your grub file: 'cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' | 16:46 |
| mrinal | how can i determine how many cores my processor has with bash | 16:47 |
| ducasse | abhishek: that is the latest supported version in ubuntu. the usual recommendation is to stick with the official packages. | 16:47 |
| ducasse | !latest | abhishek | 16:47 |
| ubottu | abhishek: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 16:47 |
| wuseman | whats the text inside "" in that line? | 16:47 |
| bekks | wuseman: use this instead: grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT /etc/default/grub | 16:47 |
| SchrodingersScat | mrinal: cat /proc/cpuinfo #? | 16:47 |
| wuseman | bekks: ya thats pretty same just another way to type it :P | 16:48 |
| bekks | wuseman: Thats a totally different way. It is not a useless use of cat. :) | 16:48 |
| wuseman | Output will be same, try. | 16:49 |
| sydney_untangle | wuseman: "quiet splash" | 16:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | mrinal: and if that's too much info, maybe cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor #and then you can just see how many it recognizes. | 16:49 |
| abhishek | ducasse, thanks | 16:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | mrinal: or "cpu cores" | 16:49 |
| bekks | wuseman: The output isnt the issue at that point. Avoiding useless usage of applications is. :) | 16:49 |

| sydney_untangle | Ok, so caps lock is not on when resuming from suspend, just the caps lock light is. | 16:51 |

| Netwolf | Do you offer low level kernel support for stock kernels here OerHeks? | 19:09 |
| ducasse | Netwolf: why post your kernel version if you have no questions about it? | 19:10 |
| OerHeks | Netwolf, sure, but for zxenial there is no 4.6x AFAIK http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 19:10 |
| Netwolf | same reason people post uptime :) | 19:10 |
| tgm4883 | Netwolf: you're in the support channel, which is why it appears when you posted that you were asking for support | 19:10 |
| tgm4883 | Netwolf: if you want to chat, there is #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss for that | 19:11 |
| OerHeks | it is all yakkety development | 19:11 |
| mernoire | hi | 19:11 |
| mernoire | c'est la mer noire | 19:12 |
| mernoire | what do you think of mer noire ?? | 19:12 |
| Netwolf | I think we might be getting carried away with symantic and wasting each others times. My aplogies. My uname -a was akin to a uptime show off. It's a custom kernel to improve performance on unbuntu/xenial. I do think perhaps it would be the place to talk about such things. :)) | 19:12 |
| Netwolf | so what is offtopic vs ontopic if you dont even discuss the components of the os? | 19:12 |
| tgm4883 | Netwolf: uptime isn't welcome in this channel either. As I previously mentioned, #ubuntu-discuss is where you probably want to be | 19:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Netwolf discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic, this is the support area | 19:13 |
| tgm4883 | Netwolf: on topic for this channel is Ubuntu Support | 19:13 |
| OerHeks | #ubuntu-kernel or #ubuntu-discuss | 19:13 |
| Netwolf | OerHeks: Yes, while there is no mainline 4.6 version, the pf-kernel is unique as it adds BFQ support and better performance overall on clouds as well | 19:13 |
| tgm4883 | !ot | mernoire | 19:13 |
| ubottu | mernoire: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 19:13 |
| Netwolf | tgm4883: ah okay | 19:14 |
| stack_overflow | Have updare | 19:16 |
| Zren | What do you do when your video drivers crash (screen freezes) and you can't switch to tty1 (game still shows)? Is it because tty1 is video accelerated too? | 19:17 |
| stack_overflow | Have updated video driver to nvidia proprietary and plymouth looks ugly under 16.04. How can I fix this? | 19:18 |
| mrdunno | nothing | 19:18 |
| mrdunno | because nvudia didnt not give drivers | 19:19 |
| mrdunno | in opensource, I mean | 19:19 |
| MonkeyDust | mrdunno yes, there's no love from nvidia, for linux | 19:23 |
| stack_overflow | Ok. I like booting in text mode as well. | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | My nvidia drivers beg to differ | 19:25 |

| mrdunno | stack | 19:25 |
| mrdunno | can you re-write you question | 19:25 |
| mrdunno | ? | 19:25 |
| mrdunno | cause I Lost it | 19:26 |
| tgm4883 | stack_overflow: what do you mean looks ugly? | 19:27 |
| MonkeyDust | stack_overflow i had that too, simply wait a few seconds until all that ugliness disappears and your desktop shows up | 19:30 |

| GreenDay | do you think i must reinstall or upgrade? | 19:33 |
| GreenDay | basicaly i started from kubuntu | 19:33 |
| GreenDay | it maybe a good idea to do a fresh install | 19:33 |
| MonkeyDust | GreenDay yes, and create a separate /home partition, that's easier for future installs | 19:35 |
| kekento | hey, when I paste a command on terminal, it executes itself automatically. how to avoid this? | 19:35 |
| EriC^^ | kekento: dont copy the newline with it | 19:36 |
| kekento | sorry sir, what is "newline"? | 19:36 |
| EriC^^ | make sure not to select the bottom first start when you copy it | 19:37 |
| kekento | oh I get it, thank you | 19:37 |
| EriC^^ | no problem | 19:37 |
| bprompt | kekento: \r\n, the "enter press, character", which is non--printable, and thus not obvious, but if you copy and paste that, the paste will have, the text/command PLUS the enter key, the enter key will mean to bash, "execute now" | 19:38 |
| GreenDay | MonkeyDust, i have oldschool partitionned with fdisk ;) | 19:39 |
| MonkeyDust | GreenDay great, then now you can create a partition, for /home | 19:40 |

| tronic | i have a question: Can a computer be hacked while a browser is not even open? I'm asking with regard to virtual machines - they require the internet to be active on the host, which surely nullifies half the point of having a VM? | 20:10 |
| tronic | Surely the host can be hacked while it is just sat there, doing nothing? | 20:11 |
| OerHeks | tronic, hypothetical yes. | 20:12 |
| tronic | uh oh | 20:12 |
| tronic | Well that's no good is it | 20:12 |
| OerHeks | but escape from the VM to the host, that is a different story | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic if you find someone who has hacked your linux, please let us know, sounds very exciting | 20:12 |
| tronic | nooo i'm not talking about my linux being hacked | 20:12 |
| tronic | actually, the situation is this: Host = Windows 7 | 20:12 |
| tronic | VM = Linux | 20:13 |
| monty_hall | I want to install a hdd, but I mount to manual mount it and I want it encrypted | 20:13 |
| tronic | VM requires internet connection on host, for internet on VM to work | 20:13 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic yes | 20:13 |
| monty_hall | that is, password protected, can this be done? | 20:13 |
| monty_hall | manual mount/unmount password protected encyrpted drive. | 20:13 |
| tronic | is there no way to run a VM that runs the wireless modem directly, bypassing the host for internet access? | 20:14 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic i guess you should ask that in the vm's channel | 20:14 |
| tronic | I use Windows for some art software, and would rather not log out, then log into a different partition just for internet | 20:14 |
| OerHeks | monty_hall, here is a howto for usb sticks, also possible on ext hdd http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/create-secure-usb-drive-ubuntu-linux-unified-key-setup/ | 20:14 |
| tronic | ok | 20:15 |
| OerHeks | you have the tools already | 20:15 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic is it virtulabox or vmware? | 20:15 |
| tronic | yes, MonkeyDust | 20:15 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic the one or the other? | 20:15 |
| tronic | do i /join #virtualbox ? To be fair, i'd be interested in any VM manufacturer that allowed internet directly from the VM bypassing the host | 20:15 |
| monty_hall | OerHeks: thanks! | 20:15 |
| tronic | it's virtualbox | 20:15 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic type /j #vbox | 20:16 |
| tronic | ok thanks :) | 20:16 |
| tronic | any other suggestions for manufacturers that allow direct wireless, bypassing host? | 20:16 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic it's not as crowded and active as #ubuntu | 20:16 |
| tronic | apart from virtualbox | 20:16 |
| tronic | i take it none ... | 20:17 |
| brutser | hi all, my server is running fine, connecting from a windows client works ok, but now recently i added an ubuntu client - the vpn connection works, but traffic not seem to be forwarded - what could be the reason(s) ? | 20:18 |
| StRiKa | StRiKa | 20:18 |
| tronic | i need a VM for Windows as host, all i can think of is VirtualBox and VMWare plus a few lesser entities gotten off Wikipedia, but i don't know if any of them will do what i need - that is, bypass Windows host internet connection and get one of its own instead | 20:19 |
| brutser | i can ping the vpn server from the ubuntu client once connected, but when open a browser, it still uses the local connection | 20:19 |
| tronic | ok i'll go now | 20:19 |
| brutser | openvpn* | 20:19 |
| StRiKa | hello | 20:19 |
| SlakViper | tronic, if all you use windows for is the art software, why not run windows in the vm, and make linux your host? | 20:20 |
| tronic | SlakViper: it's not just art, it's music too, but the thing is, the software is quite demanding | 20:20 |
| StRiKa | hi guys im new to IRC | 20:21 |
| MonkeyDust | StRiKa great, this is ubuntu support | 20:21 |
| tronic | also, i don't want to go through the hassle of re-registering all my art software on the VM | 20:21 |
| MonkeyDust | !studio | 20:22 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 20:22 |
| StRiKa | how do i find other IRC servers | 20:22 |
| MonkeyDust | StRiKa /msg alis list bababa | 20:22 |
| MonkeyDust | StRiKa that's for channels, not for servers | 20:22 |
| StRiKa | sorry im a noob still learning lol | 20:23 |
| tronic | thanks MonkeyDust i have KXStudio at the moment, it's based on Ubuntu, but the programs i wish to run apart from GIMP are CorelDRAW, and Reason, VirtualDJ, Ableton, etc. etc. none of which have Linux equivalents, and l'm sure they could run in VM but l require snappy performance | 20:23 |
| MonkeyDust | StRiKa you already learned something new, then | 20:24 |
| squinty | StRiKa, if using Hexchat then Hexchat -> Network List (from the drop down menu) | 20:24 |
| StRiKa | thanks | 20:24 |
| MonkeyDust | tronic hope you find a way to accomplish what you want! | 20:24 |
| SlakViper | tronic, I completely understand. The only other suggestion I would have for you would be maybe trying a usb network card. I know vbox and vmware on windows both allow passthrough of usb devices, but not much else from what I understand. | 20:24 |
| tronic | yes it has just been suggested to me to try a USB modem / mobile broadband. | 20:25 |
| tronic | also, btw, i am trying to get into Linux music, hence i have KXstudio on a partition | 20:25 |
| tronic | keep the faith! | 20:26 |
| monty_hall | OerHeks: Here's a twist | 20:31 |
| monty_hall | is it possible to create a file? and mount it like it was a dist? | 20:32 |

| monty_hall | i guess I could google it :P | 20:32 |

| bprompt | monty_hall: yes | 20:33 |
| monty_hall | I'm curious | 20:34 |
| monty_hall | can I create an empty file? | 20:35 |
| monty_hall | does it have to be in "dd" format? | 20:35 |
| === amir_ is now known as Guest83886 | ||

| elichai2 | hi | 20:35 |
| tatertots | hello everyone :P | 20:35 |
| monty_hall | in fact, could you point me to a web page? | 20:36 |
| monty_hall | not exactly sure what to google | 20:36 |
| tatertots | Hi elichai2 | 20:36 |
| elichai2 | my /var/log is 17GB so I looked into /var/log/syslog and I found these lines huge amount of times: | 20:36 |
| bekks | monty_hall: touch yourfile; echo "" > yourfile2; ... | 20:36 |
| elichai2 | http://pastebin.com/HfwVmYWi | 20:36 |
| SlakViper | monty_hall, touch empty_file; mkfs.ext4 empty_file; mount -t ext4 -o loop /path/to/empty_file /destination maybe?? | 20:36 |
| elichai2 | the weird thing is I don't even have a directory `/home/elichai2/.cache/google-chrome/` | 20:36 |
| tatertots | elichai2 what version of ubuntu are you using ? | 20:37 |
| elichai2 | 16.04 | 20:37 |
| monty_hall | when I say empty, I don'pt need to image a file. I know that I can dd a disk image. but want to start w/ something empty | 20:37 |
| monty_hall | I would have to assume I'd have to create a file w/ all 0's that's 4GB or so | 20:37 |
| monty_hall | to be my virtual encrypted disk | 20:37 |
| bprompt | monty_hall: yeap, using mkfs to make the file with an FileSystem, then you can mount it, since it's pretty much just an image file, like an ISO, notice above SlakViper's line | 20:37 |
| bekks | monty_hall: Did you read what I wrote to you? | 20:37 |
| elichai2 | tatertots, so? | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | something like this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/667291/create-blank-disk-image-for-file-storage | 20:38 |

| wingnut2626 | Good day all. Is there a specific ISO that i need to boot in order to get ubuntu working on a macbook pro 2, 1? | 20:40 |
| wingnut2626 | Every ISO i have found fails to boot properly. | 20:40 |
| bprompt | wingnut2626: the PPC ISO 64bits I"d think | 20:41 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: Which CPU do you use? | 20:41 |
| wingnut2626 | Core 2 Duo | 20:41 |
| OerHeks | we have a wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook2-1 | 20:41 |
| wingnut2626 | 64 bit | 20:41 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: So the PPC iso will not work for you. | 20:41 |
| wingnut2626 | I have followed the wiki word for word and the images fail to boot | 20:41 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: so which images did you use so far? | 20:42 |
| wingnut2626 | 15.10, 10.10, 10.4 | 20:42 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: For which platform? 32bit? mac? ppc? | 20:43 |
| elichai2 | tatertots, so? have any clue? | 20:43 |
| wingnut2626 | bekks where can i find these options? | 20:43 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: On the page linked to you :) | 20:43 |
| wingnut2626 | no dl links for the actual images | 20:44 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: So which iso files exactly did you use? | 20:44 |
| tatertots | elichai2 are you running out of free hard disk space ? | 20:44 |
| elichai2 | not really but I need it to move my VM into it | 20:45 |
| brutser | anyone here with some knowledge about openvpn on ubuntu (as a client) - i try connect to openvpn, it works fine, i can ping the server, but the traffic is not routed through the vpn, just keeps using my local connection ... | 20:45 |
| wingnut2626 | bekks The 64 bit desktop images. I am sure that is the problem but I dont know where to find the mactel images. | 20:45 |
| elichai2 | only this file (syslog) is 16GB | 20:45 |
| elichai2 | and it's not the first time this happens | 20:45 |
| bekks | wingnut2626: Those will not work an a Mac. You need the Mac images. | 20:45 |
| elichai2 | (although I don't remember the last times what error was it) | 20:45 |
| wingnut2626 | where do i get em? | 20:45 |
| bprompt | brutser: there are quite a few folks at #openvpn, there's also an #openvpn-devel channel | 20:46 |
| tatertots | elichai2 you need to move your vm from ???? (inform me of source) to (inform me of destination)??? | 20:46 |
| tatertots | in as much detail as possible | 20:47 |
| elichai2 | from My HDD to my SSD(where my ubuntu system is installed) | 20:47 |
| akik | monty_hall: you can also create a file and treat it as a disk with partitions (losetup, kpartx) | 20:47 |
| tatertots | elichai2...these two disks are in the same computer correct?.....so from /dev/sdX to /dev/sdX????? can you solve for "X" | 20:48 |
| elichai2 | from /dev/sdb2 to /dev/sda2 | 20:49 |
| tatertots | elichai2 ...would you mind pastbin some information for me please | 20:50 |
| elichai2 | it doesn't really matter the VM shit, I just want to know why my log is full of this weird error | 20:50 |
| tatertots | elichai2 i want you to run a command and pastbin the output here so i can read it | 20:50 |
| tatertots | Oh so what's important to you is not moving the VM?...ok i understand | 20:51 |
| tatertots | when i read "i need to move VM" i thought that was your priority | 20:52 |
| tatertots | sorry | 20:52 |
| SolitaryCypher | Is it safe to source /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/uevent into a script? | 20:52 |
| OerHeks | try clean the chrome config and start the browser again > /home/elichai2/.cache/google-chrome/ | 20:52 |
| tatertots | like if i were to say "i need food and water" | 20:52 |
| elichai2 | OerHeks, the weird thing is I don't have `google-chrome` dir in `.cache` | 20:53 |
| tatertots | elichai2 were you aware that "hidden" files/folders begin with "." | 20:53 |
| elichai2 | yeah | 20:53 |
| tatertots | "hidden" | 20:53 |
| elichai2 | using terminal... | 20:53 |
| tatertots | ok just making sure | 20:53 |
| tatertots | that ones all yours OerHeks :P | 20:55 |
| elichai2 | wait | 20:55 |
| elichai2 | wow, I forgot a long time ago I mounted the chrome's cache directory into RAM | 20:56 |
| elichai2 | And I think it just removed the folder I created in /tmp somehow | 20:57 |
| elichai2 | how can I make my system not delete a directory in /tmp? | 20:58 |
| elichai2 | lol | 20:58 |
| elichai2 | I can't believe this was the problem | 20:58 |
| tatertots | imagine all the other things that you've probably done or copy and pasted from the internet that will negatively impact you in the future | 20:59 |
| tatertots | @elichai2 | 20:59 |
| OerHeks | This is somehowe confusing, you want a solution against yourself removing a folder? | 20:59 |
| elichai2 | I new what I did it was just a year ago lol | 20:59 |
| tatertots | yeah lol | 20:59 |
| elichai2 | no, I didn't removed it maybe it gets removed on every boot or only when upgrading a version | 20:59 |
| elichai2 | i'll try to reboot and see if it gets removed | 21:00 |
| elichai2 | is it OK to delete /var/log/syslog? | 21:00 |
| elichai2 | or fill it with /dev/null ? | 21:00 |
| MonkeyDust | elichai2 this ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/17877506/ | 21:00 |
| lerner | sudo chmod 644 shermore.mkv < I want to change permissions to "walter" not "root". what am I missing? | 21:00 |

| bekks | lerner: chown, not chmod. | 21:01 |

| AEL-H | I am on a dual boot system and it is running NTFS | 21:01 |
| AEL-H | I access the partition from windows and ubuntu | 21:01 |
| dm_comp | chown <user>:<group> file | 21:02 |
| lerner | dm_comp, so I can use either numbers or username:group as you did? | 21:02 |
| bekks | AEL-H: So start Windows and run a full filesystem check. | 21:02 |
| elichai2 | jamesd, I just need it once, how do i run logrotate? | 21:02 |
| AEL-H | I don't know if this makes a difference, but I can access the partition from windows just fine | 21:02 |
| MonkeyDust | elichai2 do ls /etc/chromium-browser/ | 21:02 |
| elichai2 | I know how to use the terminal... | 21:03 |
| elichai2 | I only got there a directory called `customizations` | 21:03 |
| elichai2 | no files | 21:03 |
| MonkeyDust | elichai2 is the file not there? | 21:03 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, odd | 21:03 |
| dm_comp | never tied it with numbers and by numbers you mean UID | 21:03 |
| jamesd | logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.conf | 21:03 |
| dm_comp | tried* | 21:03 |
| elichai2 | thx | 21:04 |
| OerHeks | better fix your issue, purge and reinstall chrome | 21:04 |
| elichai2 | jamesd, and then `sudo rm syslog.1` :) | 21:05 |
| jamesd | elichai2: yeah if you own the box that is fine. if you are an employee security may not take kindly to removing logfiles | 21:06 |
| elichai2 | of course | 21:07 |
| mhalano | hello everyone, | 21:07 |
| akik | AEL-H: do you have fast start-up enabled on windows side (power options/system settings) ? it causes that error when mounting it in linux | 21:07 |
| mhalano | I have a question not so specific about Ubuntu, but I believe someone already done what I want to do. | 21:08 |
| AEL-H | akik: I ran ntfs fix, and that fixed the issue for one partition | 21:08 |
| AEL-H | akik: but the windows partition is saying something about hibernation | 21:08 |
| akik | AEL-H: http://www.howtogeek.com/236807/how-to-mount-your-windows-10-or-8-system-drive-on-linux/ | 21:08 |
| AEL-H | akik: I am not sure about fast start-up it's windows 10 | 21:08 |
| AEL-H | akik: Ah thanks this looks like the issue, my fault for not finding this | 21:09 |
| elichai2 | thank you all | 21:09 |
| mhalano | The question is: How I create a local proxy for emails usig IMAP? The idea is keep a cache for emails I received so I can access offline but the most important is create a way so I can send emails evens without Internet connection using Thunderbird and whgen I connect the emails levae to the destiny. <EOM> | 21:09 |

| tatertots | mhalano....so tell us where in the process of making this happen you are currently stuck at and any error you may be getting | 21:20 |

| tatertots | are you still in the "dreaming" phase...or the "conceptual" phase? | 21:21 |
| mhalano | tatertots, Some research without success. I hope someone can indicate what search for. I was looking for email and proxy and I just know Squid is not for that. :( | 21:22 |
| mhalano | is for personal use, so no worry. | 21:22 |
| xubuntu | 6 | 21:23 |
| mhalano | tatertots, dreaming phase. I can't find some documentation to think about conceptual. | 21:23 |
| tatertots | mhalano.....who is your mail with right now? | 21:25 |
| tatertots | mhalano ..........mhalano@company.com | 21:25 |
| mhalano | tatertots, Very basic. HGmail. Online. | 21:25 |
| mhalano | s/HGmail/Gmail | 21:25 |
| mhalano | The idea is use IMAP with Thunderbird | 21:25 |
| tatertots | mhalano....i'm familiar with google's "gmail" :) | 21:26 |
| mhalano | and do a cache (with IMAP) and keep the send emails until has a connection so I can work offline. | 21:26 |
| === Castor__ is now known as Castor_ | ||
| tatertots | mhalano......so you have a gmail account for email yes/no? | 21:28 |
| mhalano | tatertots, Yes, I have | 21:29 |
| mhalano | tatertots, And I use online but for a short time I used via IMAP | 21:29 |
| mhalano | I like IMAP because the instant sync, but a need a cache. | 21:29 |
| mhalano | So even disconnected I could read some emails. | 21:30 |
| HackerII | thunderbird with IMAP already compacts and shows dl mail | 21:31 |
| tatertots | mhalao has acknowledged he's still in dreaming phase or conceptual phase.....i'm going to let him sleep for a few more minutes before i wake him up lol | 21:32 |
| mhalano | tatertots, what is the problem with my idea? | 21:32 |
| adrian_1908 | hello. I have a netbook with an Intel `Celeron 2955U` and I found some information that suggests this CPU might support OpenGL 4. When I query glxinfo, I get OpenGL 3.3 (Mesa). Is there some driver/setting to support higher versions? | 21:33 |
| tatertots | mhalano the good news is that you don't need to do anything | 21:33 |
| HackerII | exactly | 21:33 |
| HackerII | D`oh! | 21:33 |
| tatertots | feel free to keep dreaming about doing a bunch of technical stuff if you want | 21:33 |
| bprompt | mhalano: I recall using an email client a long while ago, and in the IMAP option, it had the availability to keep a local copy(cache) whilst leaving the mail on the server, and synching as needed | 21:33 |
| HackerII | ya, thunderbird | 21:34 |
| tatertots | the good people over at google and gmail have already taken care of any of your email concerns | 21:34 |
| mhalano | bprompt, I will look that. Thanks. And about the offline sending? | 21:34 |
| HackerII | exactly tatertots | 21:34 |
| tatertots | mhalano you can now feel free to browse the net and check out sports scores and stuff now | 21:35 |
| bprompt | mhalano: offline sending is easy, all email clients have a deferred sending, you "compose" your message, and click on "send later" or thereabouts option, or just make a "draft" for later sending | 21:35 |
| mhalano | And supose I use a more minimalist email client like mutt or Alpine? | 21:35 |
| tatertots | mhalano...again the good folks over at google have you covered....you're in good hands with gmail | 21:36 |
| bprompt | mhalano: well, your options are as good as your email cleint | 21:36 |
| tatertots | you'll be fine | 21:36 |
| tatertots | let the good folks at google continue to manage your email services as they have been | 21:36 |
| tatertots | everything is fine | 21:37 |
| tatertots | there is nothing that you need to do | 21:37 |
| tatertots | btw guys if i'm ever dreaming......please allow me to sleep a tad bit longer please | 21:38 |
| HackerII | tatertot lives matter | 21:38 |
| tatertots | but after 2 minutes of extra sleep ...PLEASE slash me in the face with a bucket of ice cold water | 21:39 |

| dylan__ | Hi. I came here a couple of hours ago complaining about an issue where YouTube videos were incredibly laggy & frames were getting dropped. Someone was kind enough to help me but eventually left. His "diagnosis" was that Xorg was only using my CPU (which was going to 100% when watching a video) and not my video card. I was wondering how I can fix this. Thanks for any help! | 21:57 |
| Guest94282 | dylan__ what is your video card? | 21:57 |
| tatertots | kronoks....................https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 21:57 |
| dylan__ | Guest94282: It's just Intel Graphics | 21:58 |
| kronoks | tatertots: insufficient | 21:58 |
| dylan__ | The CPU is an intel celeron n3050 | 21:58 |
| kronoks | dylan__: what is the cpu and gpu? | 21:58 |
| dylan__ | kronoks: It's just Intel HD Graphics | 21:59 |
| kronoks | dylan__: the n3050 is a recent cpu that can normally play videos without issue. what is the application environment? | 21:59 |
| dylan__ | kronoks: what do you mean by "application enviroment"? | 22:00 |
| kronoks | dylan__: the operating system and desktop environment. | 22:00 |
| dylan__ | I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on a laptop (Ideapad 100S). YouTube could be played in 720p60fps fine on Windows | 22:01 |
| kronoks | i know that laptop. it's the 11 or 14 inch variant in black and red tone. | 22:02 |
| tatertots | dylan........what browser are you using to play these laggy youtube videos you speak of??? | 22:02 |
| dylan__ | I'm running Chromium. | 22:03 |
| tatertots | dylan....(A) firefox.........(B) google chrome......(C) Other | 22:03 |
| tatertots | ah C it is | 22:04 |
| dylan__ | I'm sorry for not supplying all the information, it slipped my mine since I told it before | 22:04 |
| tatertots | dylan....standby | 22:04 |
| dylan__ | Will do, thanks. | 22:04 |
| tatertots | dylan...stick with me here and we'll get you fixed up in no time | 22:04 |
| tatertots | dylan....these laggy youtube videos....are they also laggy when you watch the exact same video in Firefox? yes/no? | 22:06 |
| dylan__ | Yes. | 22:06 |
| vm096 | how do I foreach an array in bash? | 22:06 |
| kronoks | dylan__: you could try another desktop environment, in case it's a Unity issue. also, be aware that Windows is more efficient with hardware resources and has better drivers, so that will always be a contributing factor. | 22:07 |
| dylan__ | The lag is different though. In Chromium the video is slowed down it seems, and it lags behind the audio. Then, there's a black cut for one second and the video catches back up to the audio. | 22:07 |
| dylan__ | In firefox it's just a constant lag | 22:07 |
| tatertots | dylan....these laggy youtuve videos ....are they also laggy when you watch them in "GOOGLE" chrome? yes/no | 22:07 |
| tgm4883 | 0_0 | 22:07 |
| dylan__ | In Chromium I also noticed that there's some screen tearing | 22:07 |
| kronoks | dylan__: is it using flash? or standard HTML5. | 22:08 |
| dylan__ | standard HTML5 kronoks | 22:08 |
| tgm4883 | I don't think I've ever heard that "windows is more efficient" | 22:08 |
| dylan__ | tatertots: I'll install Google Chrome right now | 22:08 |
| kronoks | as a workaround, try to install flash and force firefox to use that in youtube to test it. | 22:08 |
| mhalano | bprompt, I will fix my problem and publish on my blog. I just need to write on my blog first. | 22:09 |
| kronoks | chrome is the same as chromium, except it includes the flash plugin and other codecs. | 22:09 |
| dylan__ | You can't have 60 FPS in Flash though, right? | 22:09 |
| kronoks | there may also be variations in distributions | 22:09 |
| dylan__ | Whatever, at this point it does not matter. I'm willing to accept any fix that will allow me to watch YT again | 22:10 |

| tatertots | dylan...are you using the intel linux driver yes or no....i'm guessing no but i hate to make assumtions | 22:41 |
| tatertots | especially when it comes to matters like this | 22:41 |
| dylan__ | I'm not sure if I am | 22:41 |
| dylan__ | I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday | 22:41 |
| kronoks | tatertots: if he installer ubuntu, then xf86-intel-video is installed by default. | 22:41 |
| kronoks | tatertots: tell him how to change the acceleration method. that might work. | 22:41 |
| OerHeks | intel driver is a kernelmodule, as that NUC is intel only, i am sure he does | 22:41 |
| tatertots | i'm going to say that answer is "no" then...you would remember if you installed it | 22:41 |
| bekks | The driver is installed by default, so there is nothing to remember. | 22:42 |
| tatertots | dylan enable hardware acceleration and play your videos and report back if you notice improvement in playback | 22:42 |
| tatertots | in yes/no form please | 22:42 |

| bekks | dylan__: Did you try to enable HTML5 on http://www.youtube.com/html5/ yet? | 22:49 |
| igoryonya | alive876: Is that the complete error message, or it consists from several lines? Additional information. | 22:49 |
| dylan__ | bekks: It's enabled, yeah. | 22:49 |
| alive876 | ok | 22:49 |
| bekks | dylan__: Does this video wotk for you?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYc2jP4LLGo | 22:50 |
| dylan__ | bekks: it does, yeah. | 22:51 |
| alive876 | first when i try to do sudo apt-get .. i get these http://pastebin.com/qa0iudkb | 22:52 |
| bekks | dylan__: Can you pastebin the entire content of "chrome://plugins/" please, after clicking on "Details" on the top right corner? | 22:52 |
| dylan__ | Sure | 22:52 |
| dylan__ | bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17882379/ | 22:53 |
| bekks | dylan__: So the problem boils down to HTML5 videos are being displayed properly, while Adobe Flash content isnt. At that point you can just hope Youtube will provide HTML5 content as often as possible for you. | 22:54 |
| alive876 | and then i try sudo apt-get install -f http://pastebin.com/F2Jxs50z | 22:55 |
| dylan__ | bekks: that's not the issue at all. It's the fact that HTML5 videos are incredibly choppy | 22:55 |
| bekks | dylan__: Thats what I just asked :) | 22:55 |
| dylan__ | And that (according to someone who's helped me before) Xorg uses only my CPU and not my GPU | 22:55 |
| bekks | dylan__: I asked you wether that HTML5 example video worked properly for you. | 22:55 |
| dylan__ | Oh, sorry bekks | 22:56 |
| dylan__ | HTML5 works, but once I go fullscreen or set my resolution to 720p, that's when it starts to become laggy | 22:56 |
| bprompt | dylan__: is that a laptop I assume? | 22:58 |
| dylan__ | Yes. | 22:58 |
| bekks | dylan__: You could test that here, too: http://www.leanbackplayer.com/example_multi_resolution.html | 22:58 |
| dylan__ | bekks: that appears to be way less laggy. | 22:59 |
| dylan__ | There's an occasional stutter but for the rest it's fine | 22:59 |
| bprompt | dylan__: fullscreen video, means more gpu resources and cpu resources to do the rendering of the media, so the bigger the size of the video viewer, the more cpu and gpu resources it will require for rendering | 22:59 |
| dylan__ | bprompt: the problem is that it worked fine in Windows, so I don't see why it can't in Ubuntu :( | 23:00 |
| tatertots | dylan....it's explaining to you exactly why it can't in ubuntu | 23:00 |
| tatertots | search for "137247" in that info i had you post | 23:00 |
| tatertots | do you see what it says next to "137247" | 23:01 |
| === max_ is now known as Guest42484 | ||
| tatertots | and that's just one | 23:01 |
| bprompt | dylan__: hmmm I seem to side with bekks , since I know that flash videos do require more cpu than html5, which is browser native | 23:01 |
| tatertots | i could go on | 23:01 |
| dylan__ | You're saying it can't be fixed, someone else said it CAN be fixed | 23:01 |
| igoryonya | alive876: 1) What's your Ubuntu version?; Then do: 2) sudo apt-get update; 3) sudo apt-get -f install (and not sudo apt-get install -f) | 23:01 |
| bprompt | dylan__: keep in mind that, youtube uses about 4 formats to serve the video, and if one doesn't work, the browser simply uses a fallback to use another, I'm thinking your issue may just be a flash one, not a videocard one | 23:02 |
| bekks | dylan__: On the page I just gave you, try fullscreen, and start withe loweest resolution. | 23:03 |
| dylan__ | I'm not using flash though, I'm using HTML5 bprompt | 23:03 |
| igoryonya | alive876: seems like, you have an old Ubuntu version, that doesn't release new package versions anymore, and the latest couchdb version is not recent enough for erlang requirement. | 23:03 |
| bprompt | dylan__: if you right-click on the video, does it say it's an html5 video? | 23:03 |
| bekks | dylan__: And not all videos are available as HTML55 on youtube. | 23:03 |
| tatertots | I'm not saying it CAN'T be fixed. | 23:03 |
| bekks | < tatertots> dylan...i'm afraid it isn't supported by https://01.org/linuxgraphics | 23:04 |
| bekks | tatertots: Actually you did. | 23:04 |
| dylan__ | bprompt: yes... | 23:04 |
| dylan__ | bekks: the video works fine on all resolutions in fullscreen | 23:04 |
| alive876 | 14.04 ubuntu | 23:04 |
| dylan__ | There's no noticeable lag or slowdown. | 23:05 |
| bekks | dylan__: Cool, so HTML5 works properly. Now you neeed to find out wether a problematic video is HTML5 actually or not. | 23:05 |
| igoryonya | alive876: and installing the deb package with dpkg, will give you the similar dependancy error. First you have to resolve your couchdb issue | 23:05 |
| dylan__ | I'm 90% sure the video I'm testing it on is. | 23:05 |
| dylan__ | Hell, I'm even 100% sure. | 23:05 |
| bekks | dylan__: Can you share the URL then? :) | 23:05 |
| dylan__ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXIf5gAyrf4 | 23:06 |
| alive876 | is it possible the repository couchdb is not recent enough? | 23:06 |
| dylan__ | Chose this video because I've watched it so often that I know how it's supposed to look like when it's not lagging | 23:06 |
| dylan__ | It's in 720p60fps | 23:06 |
| igoryonya | alive876: and do my nick with a column, before your messages to me, so I don't have to search for your message from all other messages. It's a plain courtecy to the person, hellping you. | 23:07 |
| bekks | dylan__: lagging means it is stuttering :) | 23:07 |
| alive876 | igoryonya| | 23:08 |
| igoryonya | alive876: Yes, it is possible, as I mentioned earlier. And your ubuntu version is really old. If you want to keep LTS version, there is 16.04 LTS out. did you do other commands, I | 23:09 |
| igoryonya | alive876: 've sent to you? | 23:09 |
| alive876 | <igoryonya> ok, maybe i could try an older erlang version | 23:10 |
| igoryonya | alive876: There should be an upgrade from your version to the new one (16.04, sometime in the beginning of July) | 23:10 |
| alive876 | <igoryonya> : Depends: couchdb-bin (>= 1.5.0-0ubuntu1) but it is not going to be installed | 23:11 |
| igoryonya | alive876: an older erlang could help you. Did you do the sudo apt-get update yet? | 23:11 |
| dylan__ | bekks: so, what does this mean? | 23:11 |
| dylan__ | HTML5 works, but not on YT? :P | 23:12 |
| bekks | dylan__: Unless you see it stuttering, it isnt lagging :) | 23:12 |
| alive876 | <igoryonya> yes | 23:12 |
| igoryonya | alive876: nickname without brackets, just like I do to you alive876: (nickname and a column or comma, right after) | 23:12 |
| dylan__ | It is stuttering when I try to do it in fullscreen. | 23:12 |
| bekks | dylan__: HTML5 wrks fine, even on youtube, but not on that particular video, due to the combination of your selected high resolution and the highly moving content of the video. | 23:12 |
| bekks | dylan__: so select a lower resolution then. | 23:13 |
| dylan__ | But that doesn't solve my issue... | 23:13 |
| bekks | dylan__: More powerful hardware would solve it. Just doublecheck that it works fine on fullscreen in a lower resolution. | 23:13 |
| igoryonya | alive876: You could try to search for a more recent couchdb package on launchpad.net for Ubuntu version 14.04 | 23:13 |
| alive876 | igoryonya, ok | 23:14 |
| dylan__ | It's not a hardware issue when W10 can run it without any problems though? | 23:14 |
| bekks | dylan__: The main problem is the driver, which is a different one as in Windows 10. | 23:14 |
| tatertots | dylan...you probably want to enjoy youtube in it's highest quality and without having to worry about if the video you want to watch is available html5 or not eh? | 23:15 |
| tatertots | like how you did in windows | 23:15 |
| dylan__ | ...yes | 23:15 |
| === madknigh- is now known as madknight | ||
| Jordan_U | dylan__: Are you able to watch 720p60fps in VLC or any other player? | 23:15 |
| igoryonya | alive876: add the unofficial couchdb repo from launchpad.net or maybe, they have personal repositories on couchdb site. You should also look at the couchdb's site on a download section, if they have their own repository and you could try and add their rpository and install from that. | 23:15 |
| dylan__ | Jordan_U: I haven't tried. | 23:16 |
| alive876 | ok | 23:16 |
| igoryonya | alive876: After you update couchdb from an unofficial (launchpad.net) or couchdb's repository, you could continue with trying to install erlang. | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: Try. You can even use youtube-dl to watch that exact video in vlc. | 23:16 |
| bprompt | dylan__: all I can say, is that the n3050 cpu, is newer than say a dual-core i5, I havea an i5 with intel 3000HD video, and youtube works fine in 16.04, even on fullscreen, but not sure if it's the same driver as yours is using | 23:17 |
| adrian_1908 | bprompt: but is it aiming at the same market segment as an i5? | 23:18 |
| alive876 | igoryonya| ok thanks a lot! | 23:19 |
| tatertots | bprompt's videos play smoothly | 23:19 |
| tatertots | bprompt do you use the intel gpu driver? | 23:19 |
| bprompt | adrian_1908: well, the n3050 came out last year, 16.04 came out just a few months ago, and nope, from what I know, the n3050 is a budget line | 23:19 |
| igoryonya | alive876: you are welcome | 23:19 |
| belowzero | hi guys, wondering if nomodeset for boot will make nvidia cuda to not work for math processing | 23:19 |
| bekks | belowzero: It will disablemode setting during bootup. | 23:20 |
| bprompt | tatertots: as far as I know, yes | 23:20 |
| belowzero | bekks: ok, so a bad idea if I understand you correctly? | 23:21 |
| belowzero | I dont want any screen attached. Ill just ssh into the box | 23:21 |
| bekks | belowzero: Then why do you want to use nomodeset at all? | 23:22 |
| belowzero | ubuntu throws me a black screen after boot using the normal boot options | 23:23 |
| adrian_1908 | I just looked at the data sheet and while the N3050 looks weak on the CPU side, it appears to have a pretty decent GPU. I'm surprised if it struggles like that. | 23:23 |
| bekks | belowzero: how do you see that without a display attached? | 23:23 |
| belowzero | bekks: I just want to ssh into the box using cuda | 23:23 |
| bekks | belowzero: "ssh into the box using cuda" - what does that mean? CUDA isnt related to ssh at all. | 23:23 |
| belowzero | now I got display attached, but going to move the noisy box away when I get the chance :) | 23:24 |
| dylan__ | Jordan_U: trying to playing the video gives me an error in VLC | 23:24 |
| adrian_1908 | dylan__: I didn't follow the discussion, but 720p60 YouTube doesn't play smoothly (regardless of HTML5 or Flash)? | 23:24 |
| dylan__ | adrian_1908: correct. | 23:24 |
| belowzero | bekks: sorry I was unclear. I do not need a screen for it, but so far I got one. | 23:24 |
| tatertots | dylan...would you care to dive into your issue a little deeper....i warn you ...this might get a tad bit involved on your part | 23:26 |
| dylan__ | Sure. | 23:27 |
| dylan__ | I just want this to get fixed -_- | 23:27 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: What error? | 23:27 |
| tatertots | ok dylan...first make a note of all the info in chrome://gpu.....i dont care how you do it...take screen shots all the way down the page if needed | 23:28 |
| bekks | tatertots: HE already put that into a pastebin for you. | 23:28 |
| dylan__ | Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/17883707/ | 23:28 |
| tatertots | we are going to change some things and i'll be relying on your eyes to relay changes to me | 23:28 |
| dylan__ | Jordan_U: I'm not sure where I can find the log file, though | 23:28 |
| tatertots | bekks info is missing from pastbin FYI | 23:29 |
| tatertots | that's not ALL of it | 23:29 |
| tatertots | ok bekks | 23:29 |
| tatertots | now | 23:29 |
| tatertots | we also lost formating in pastbin so what he is looking at contains more info that the pastbin | 23:30 |
| tatertots | he can even click the hyperlinks to get more details...stuff like that | 23:30 |
| tatertots | dylan now close google chrome | 23:30 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: You ned to download the video with youtube-dl first, vlc doesn't directly support youtube (though totem used to, and may still). | 23:31 |
| dylan__ | ...how am I going to type to you if I close Chrome | 23:31 |
| adrian_1908 | youtube-dl is a good thing to have anyway, love that little tool. | 23:31 |
| tatertots | chat with us in firefox while you trouble shoot chrome | 23:31 |
| dylan__ | Jordan_U: that statement appears to be incorrect. I tried with another video and it played. | 23:31 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: cd ~/Videos/ && youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXIf5gAyrf4' | 23:32 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: That will download the video into your ~/Videos/ directory. | 23:32 |
| tatertots | this is going to get involved dylan...if it gets to be too much just tell me when you want to wave that white flag | 23:32 |

| Jordan_U | dylan__: Cool, I didn't know vlc supported grabbing videos directly from youtube. Did you see my comment explaining how to use youtube-dl anyway? | 23:35 |
| dylan__ | I did. | 23:35 |
| dylan__ | And while VLC plays videos in 720p without problem, I'd like to be able to stay in my browser | 23:35 |
| dylan__ | it's nice to know that that option is still available though, thnanks | 23:35 |
| tatertots | dylan i'm going to have to open chrome again and look at chrome://gpu and look for changes | 23:35 |
| tatertots | don't open it yet though | 23:36 |

| tatertots | i'm just letting you know what steps we will be taking in advance | 23:36 |
| Jordan_U | dylan__: It's also helpful to know that with the graphics drivers you have it's possible to play 60 fps 720p video. | 23:36 |

| adrian_1908 | ok | 23:37 |
| tatertots | :( | 23:37 |
| tatertots | but i digress | 23:37 |
| tatertots | you've made note of things in chrome://gpu ...now lets open it again in a slightly different method and check for changes | 23:39 |

| plop_its_ellie | oh | 23:44 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: how long ago were you wondering if it was that ^ | 23:45 |
| tatertots | this isn't supported but i can tell you i've done it the "unsupported" way many times but YMMV | 23:45 |
| plop_its_ellie | what gpu are you using? and what is the specs on your machine | 23:45 |
| tatertots | try using the intel driver https://01.org/linuxgraphics | 23:45 |
| tatertots | good luck my friend | 23:45 |
| plop_its_ellie | if he has low end hardware then it will stutter | 23:45 |
| dylan__ | intel celeron n3050, intel HD graphics | 23:46 |
| dylan__ | Worked fine on W10 | 23:46 |
| plop_its_ellie | how much ram? | 23:46 |
| tatertots | when vendors say "unsupported" it just means "don't call us" | 23:47 |
| dylan__ | 2GB | 23:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | I would try firefox as well to see if the problem persists | 23:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | ah | 23:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | chrome is a pretty heavy browser btw so just be aware of that | 23:47 |
| dylan__ | tatertots: the latest build is for 15.10, doesn't work on 16.10 | 23:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | but try in firefox and see if it stutters there too | 23:48 |
| dylan__ | Yes, it does... | 23:48 |
| plop_its_ellie | and you are on 16.04? | 23:48 |
| dylan__ | Yes... | 23:48 |
| plop_its_ellie | just using mainline ubuntu, none of the varients? | 23:49 |

| tatertots | https://01.org/linuxgraphics is your friend | 23:50 |
| tatertots | just fyi | 23:50 |
| tatertots | :P | 23:50 |
| adrian_1908 | hammer25: which ubuntu version? | 23:51 |
| plop_its_ellie | mainline ubuntu makes use of heavy 3d acceleration so it may tax performance for other 3d accelerated appliations | 23:51 |
| hammer25 | 16.04 | 23:51 |
| adrian_1908 | 16.04 comes with python 3.5 by default | 23:51 |
| dylan__ | like i said tatertots | 23:52 |
| dylan__ | tatertots: the latest build is for 15.10, doesn't work on 16.10 | 23:52 |
| plop_its_ellie | heh funny thing is, i installed lubuntu 16.04 on a client's machine which had a pentiumD from 2006, it played 720p youtubg videos with no issue | 23:52 |

| tatertots | i warned this would get involved | 23:53 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: thank god | 23:53 |
| hammer25 | ah, ok, it had both. weird. | 23:53 |
| dylan__ | tatertots: how many times do I have to tell you | 23:53 |
| dylan__ | it does not work for 16.04 | 23:53 |
| mhalano | New doubt. I found a solution for half of my problem. Remembering: | 23:53 |
| ikonia | dylan__: how did you get on, I had to step away earlier | 23:53 |
| tgm4883 | tatertots: ffs, if you are going to push that so hard, then the least you could do is give him instructions. At this point, I'm seriously doubting your ability to help dylan__ at all | 23:53 |
| mhalano | One of my questions is use a way to defer emails automatically when I'm offline | 23:54 |
| adrian_1908 | hammer25: yeah, too many ecosystems still rely on 2.7, so ubuntu will keep that around in addition to version 3+ | 23:54 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: I didn't. I tried editing the xorg config but it gave me an error when starting up | 23:54 |
| ikonia | dylan__: thats annoying | 23:54 |
| ikonia | dylan__: what error did you get ? | 23:54 |
| dylan__ | Yup | 23:54 |
| dylan__ | That was a while ago. I Think something about going into low graphic mode? | 23:55 |
| plop_its_ellie | tatertots, you can get the latest driver via a ppa | 23:55 |
| ikonia | dylan__: so it was dropping back to the failsafe driver | 23:55 |
| dylan__ | Yes | 23:55 |
| dylan__ | I went back to /etc/X11 | 23:55 |
| dylan__ | and the config was gone | 23:55 |
| ikonia | dylan__: just out of interest, did you try watching it with the fail safe driver | 23:55 |
| ikonia | dylan__: the config file was gone ?? | 23:55 |
| dylan__ | Yeah | 23:55 |
| dylan__ | it did make xorg.conf.failsafe | 23:56 |
| dylan__ | and xorg.conf.backup with a bunch of numbers after it | 23:56 |
| mhalano | I found dma and nullmailer (and I will test ssmtp, msmtp and esmtp). both solution I tested defer emails when using mail command (I don't try with mutt or alpine or any CLI email client). The question is: There a lightweight solution (like ones I mentioned) but which listen on some port? | 23:56 |
| ikonia | interesting | 23:56 |
| dylan__ | but the original xorg.conf is gone | 23:56 |
| mhalano | The idea is use Thunderbird (for now) and this solution will do the defer process. | 23:56 |
| dylan__ | It could be that I screwed something up while editing the file | 23:57 |
| ikonia | dylan__: the xorg in 16.04 is a little bit newer and more modular, so maybe the location has changed, it always used to be /etc/X11/xorg.conf, let me have a quick look as I don't hve a 16.04 machine ot hand | 23:57 |
| plop_its_ellie | huh why did it go to the failsafe driver? | 23:57 |
| ikonia | dylan__: possible, but with the dynamic xorg, you should basically only have to set parameters you want to override from autodetection | 23:57 |
| plop_its_ellie | oh nvm i see | 23:57 |
| hammer25 | I'm having trouble using sudo apt-get | 23:58 |
| hammer25 | its saying it "Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock" | 23:58 |
| hammer25 | same for /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 23:58 |
| ikonia | dylan__: docs seem to suggest /etc/X11/xorg.conf should still be honoured | 23:58 |
| dylan__ | ikonia: Do you think I should try again | 23:59 |
