[00:00] nacc: i did it with ‘sudo apt-get update’. :) [00:00] battery: yeah apt-get update / upgrade will do that [00:00] nacc, hello again. It was actually my USB switch, which has been working in windows and OS X. [00:00] thanks chasinglogic and nacc [00:01] hammer25, let windows10 make free space on your drive, then start the installer again. [00:02] diskmanagment [00:03] OerHeks: how do i do that? I have a sizable partition that is currently unallocated that I was trying to use for linux [00:03] tortib: iirc (and i easily might be wrong) some usb devices that work well in other OSes don't work well in Linux. the other OSes intentinally ignore certain specs because they know they need to :) [00:03] oh oke, that will be fine. [00:03] tortib: you *could* try to use the latest mainline and see if it's any different [00:03] or see if there are any bugs about it already [00:04] nacc, okay how do I install it? [00:04] !mainline | tortib [00:04] tortib: The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [00:04] tortib: but keep in mind, that is *only* for testing [00:04] thanks [00:04] hammer25, make sure you have disabled fastboot, that could prevent installation too. [00:04] nacc, what about if it fixes the problem? [00:04] then what do I do? [00:04] tortib: stay on the ubuntu kernel even if mainline fixes it, and file a bug (or see if there is already one filed) [00:04] * as such empty disk during installation [00:04] tortib: otherwise, you arent' getting security updates, etc. for the kernel [00:05] tortib: also those mainline builds are purely for testing, no support, etc. [00:05] OerHeks: I couldn't find the option in the boot menu to turn that off. I turned off fast startup in Windows, is that the same? [00:05] tortib: have you already tried some quick googling if it's a known issue with that device? [00:05] hammer25, correct, is is set in windows [00:05] nacc, I did and some people that were on 3.10 on Arch had the same problem, it's just a USB3 Hub [00:05] they didn't mention they were using a switch [00:05] tortib: hrm, ok [00:06] tortib: are you sure you've not go ttoo many devices plugged in? [00:06] tortib: sometimes, hubs can end up messing things up if the draw is too heavy [00:06] tortib: and windows/osx workaround that (aiui) [00:06] nacc, it's a 7 port hub and only 5 devices are plugged in, plus it's powered by a AC adapter. [00:06] OerHeks: alright, its already off :/ should I do something to the partition? All I did was shrink the main windows partition to make room, nothing more [00:06] tortib: linux is generally less forgiving [00:06] tortib: hrm, ok [00:06] sudo parted /dev/sda print [00:09] OerHeks: Was that sudo parted thing directed at me? Where would I type that? [00:10] oh, you can use that only in the live environment, not during install. [00:11] i look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall#Installation_type and this option should be oke for you. just choose alongside. === Sornaensis is now known as THE_LORD [00:13] Hey guys, does anyone know if there is a GUI keyboard remapping tool available for Ubuntu? I am running 14.02 and trying to fix some of the keys on my Kenisis Freestlye 2 keyboard [00:13] OerHeks: none of those options show up, its just a blank table [00:14] I'll upload a picture of it now [00:14] Specifically I'd love to create some simple keyboard combinations associated to a key. Ex: make "cut" key on keyboard fire Ctrl+X [00:15] I see some info about using XKB, but that's discussed around changing modifier keys. I've already done this with the Ubuntu Tweak Tool) [00:15] OerHeks: sorry for the cellphone quality, but this is the screen: http://imgur.com/Vs9CuBV [00:15] pressing the little plus sign makes it freeze [00:18] hammer25, is this a machine with UEFI ? [00:18] OerHeks: yes it is, is that a problem? [00:18] no, there is a guide for that, i think i tackled the issue [00:19] !uefi [00:19] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [00:19] Anyone have any info on how to map key combos to custom keyboard buttons? === Evgeniy is now known as l0b [00:19] but sadly, i have no UEFI and a little experience :-( [00:19] OerHeks: awesome, I'll give that a read [00:19] thank you for your help [00:20] Question: You folks on 16.04, are you simply getting a notification saying updates are available? Or do you *also* get update manager popping up? On my 16.04 laptop, I get a notification, but must manually open update manager. Curious if that was a new thing or if I have an issue that needs looking into. [00:20] OerHeks: I've talked to you before, was it here or #learnpython?

[00:28] mridul, do you know of any gui utils that let you customize keyboard layout? specifically for custom keyboard buttons === precise|afk is now known as precise [00:35] anyone make their keyboard's non-standard keys work under ubuntu? [00:37] l0b: did you try mapping those keys? [00:38] That's what I want to do. I have a Freestyle2 keyboard I want to use with Ubuntu. It has custom shortcut keys like "Cut" and "Undo" that I'd like to map to their key combo equivalents because they don't work out of the box [00:38] They keyboard shows up correctly under xinput list [00:39] But that's as far as I've gotten. For some reason the numeric keypress ID of these buttons is almost all the same [00:41] I also looked at the xkb config file, but I don't know how these custom keys would fit under their notation such as [00:42] Yeah, all those buttons share two keycodes [00:42] Would it be even possible to map them then? There are 9 buttons, 4 with keycode 50 and five with keycode 52 [00:44] is there an easy way to tell if the live usb i am booted in is UEFI and not BIOS [00:49] When's the EOL for 15.10?

[01:02] roasted, yes ;-) [01:02] eell: "ls /sys/firmware/efi" if it exists, the kernel has booted in UEFI mode [01:02] yeah, samwilliam, it does exist. That means the liveUSB I'm in is in UEFI mode?

[02:45] Hi all, I installed the AMDGPU-PRO drivers but they don't appear to work. How would i remove them and go back to the default Ubuntu Video drivers? [02:45] pushpop, are you in the OS itself and able to use a graphical user interface? [02:46] Yes, currently using it. [02:46] pushpop, in that case, run $ update-manager in terminal, go to additional drivers and select the one you had before and click apply [02:46] pushpop, did you reboot before trying the new ones though? [02:47] yes [02:48] sirriffsalot, just did that doesn't list anything related to the video card in additional drivers. === hydroponx is now known as Hydr0p0nX [02:55] nothing? [03:01] sirriffsalot: you can use htop or iotop to check if there is any operation running in your system. [03:01] pushpop: You just need to remove the package for the new video card drivers. As long as you didn't remove the default driver's package, Ubuntu will automatically use it upon removing any third-party packages. [03:01] hmmm so i need to figure out a way to recursively delete only files with certain extensions but I also need a way to export what files it deleted into a text file so that I can see which ones were deleted and what wasnt === precise is now known as precise|afk [03:03] kaosu, i can't figure out how to remove them. Thats my problem, I installed amdgpu-pro [03:04] pushpop: Open up a terminal and type the following: sudo apt-get purge amdgpu-pro -y [03:04] samwilliam, currently I'm ona boot repair 64-bit live session, and running top I can see the process running (resize2fs) and constantly changing cpu-usage.. Going between 7% to 6%.. that a good sign? [03:04] kaosu, unable to locate [03:05] pushpop: Try doing the following: sudo apt-cache search amdgpu [03:05] See if a package is listed with the name you're looking for. You may just not be using the right package name. [03:05] How long should a 2TB disk with about half the space used take to shrink? [03:06] think i found it thanks [03:06] rebooting to see [03:07] sirriffsalot: What kind of partition are you shrinking? [03:08] samwilliam, an entire ext3 partition [03:08] samwilliam, been going for a few hours now [03:09] kaosu, is there a way to see what drivers im using? [03:10] pushpop, lsmod [03:10] pushpop: glxinfo | grep vendor [03:11] You will see an OpenGL vendor string which will tell you the driver name. [03:11] server glx vendor string: SGI [03:11] client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI [03:11] OpenGL vendor string: X.Org [03:11] sirriffsalot: I never shrank a partition with this size, I can't tell you about how much time will take because it depends of your HD. If there is important data you must wait. [03:11] VMware workstation complains that there is no OpenGL installed [03:11] dont think its working [03:12] pushpop: Which package did you remove? [03:12] samwilliam, yeah I'll wait I guess. Does it mean it's still working though, or? [03:12] kaosu, xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [03:12] sirriffsalot: still working [03:12] samwilliam, cool, cheers! :) [03:13] pushpop: You removed the wrong package then. === precise|afk is now known as netaddrtrans [03:13] sirriffsalot: try iotop also. [03:13] grr what do I remove then [03:13] ahah [03:13] samwilliam, seems I can't install it on this distro... === rob is now known as Guest31717 [03:14] pushpop: Make sure to reinstall that package. Also, did you install your proprietary drivers using AMD's official installer? If so, it creates an alias to simply run the removal script. === netaddrtrans is now known as precise [03:15] pushpop: You should be able to just run the following command from a terminal if you manually installed the drivers: amdgpu-pro-uninstall [03:15] yea doesn't work [03:15] command not found [03:16] speaking of amdgpu, does the amdgpu driver work the new RX 480? === Guest31717 is now known as Rob_Wilco [03:16] sudo ubuntu-drivers list [03:16] i'm having issues with ubuntu blocking ports [03:17] i just installed 16.04 and installed a few services that are webbased [03:17] pushpop: Run the following command: sudo apt-get purge amdgpu-pro* && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [03:17] or go strait to the default ones suitable for your card : sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [03:17] and for the life of me i cant access it from remote machines [03:17] i did a "sudo ufw allow [03:17] it shows as being allowed if i do "sudo ufw status" but they still dont load [03:17] any ideas? [03:18] this has never happaned to me in previous version of ubuntu [03:18] my understanding is that the firewall is disabled by default [03:18] kaosu, unable to locate a bunch of amdgpu packages [03:18] pushpop: At the very least you need to reinstall the open-source driver package xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu [03:18] ok [03:18] do you need to reboot after doing that? [03:19] sirriffsalot, try: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install iotop -y [03:19] Reinstall the open-source driver and then take OerHek's advice and run: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [03:20] thank you [03:20] nvm it seems to be working [03:20] not sure what was borking it up before [03:28] samwilliam, unable to locate the package, have to get it manually and stuff... [03:28] samwilliam, is it really necessary though, that program does more or less the same as top does? [03:30] sirriffsalot: unecessary, but iotop is for input/output operations. [03:30] samwilliam, hehe, yeah [03:33] samwilliam, incidentally, can I use the "copy" function in gparted to slap a completely identical image of a partition and paste it in another disk (the one I'm partitioning at the moment)? [03:34] sirriffsalo: As far I know you can't do two operations at the same time using gparted. [03:36] i ran systemctl disable lightdm && systemctl enable gdm and now antergos freezes up [03:36] sorry ubuntu not antergos [03:36] it wont boot [03:36] sirriffsalo: I always use dd to copy partitons. [03:37] Someone please help i'm locked out of my system [03:37] nacc, you there? [03:37] tortib, how do you perform that, from TTY7 ??? [03:37] OerHeks, i did it in gnome3 classic with a term and then rebooted [03:38] did i do something wrong?! [03:38] with a term, > with a terminalvenster, not tty2?? [03:38] \j #opencv [03:38] right [03:38] i'm just going to switch to antergos [03:39] samwilliam, nono of course now, but once the shrink is over, would it be as safe as doing a df? [03:39] i'm done with ubuntus flaky crap [03:40] never heard of antegros, but good luck there. [03:40] it's a arch distro [03:40] tortib: RTFM, instead of say something you don't know is a crap [03:40] samwilliam, excuse me you elitist jerk. [03:40] explain to me how i switch login managers then? [03:41] well, switching back to GDM makes me wonder .. certainly your attitude, tortib [03:41] OerHeks, classic elitist attitude and the /topic says no elitism [03:41] tortib: better than an ad hominem [03:42] tortib: at least you should care about your words also [03:56] How can I query dnsmasq to discover what upstream DNS servers it's using? [04:01] Does the iso for 16.04-desktop provide a BitCoin application? [04:03] No [04:05] hey guys, i have ubuntu 14.04 server up with 2 users, we are both ssh'ed in from different locations, but I want to be able to see what is being typed into the other users terminal, basically need to shadow it, can this be done easily as root? [04:06] no === YWH__1 is now known as YWH_1 [04:08] wyseguy: Yes, it is. [04:08] wyseguy: You need to set up tmux or screen. [04:08] okay [04:09] i have tmux installed [04:09] apologies i was thinking of malicious snooping [04:09] wyseguy: Then have one of you type "tmux" and the other then types "tmux a" [04:09] wyseguy: Must be logged in as the same user. === THE_LORD is now known as Sornaensis [04:10] how do i install amd drivers [04:10] rypervenche its different users [04:10] both in sudoers file [04:10] wyseguy: Then both of you "sudo -i" first and do it as root, or you log into his user and do it there. [04:11] okay 1 sec [04:11] wyseguy: "sudo su - hisuser" to become his user. [04:11] k [04:12] how do i install amd drivers [04:12] k then on his user i typed tmux [04:12] so on mine do tmux a? [04:13] The a is for "attach" [04:13] So the second person will type that. [04:13] "tmux" by itself will start a tmux session. [04:14] k, is there a way to do it without input from the other user by chance? [04:15] rypervenche ah, i think i got it [04:15] there are a bunch of dots on the screen [04:15] Only if you add the tmux command to his .bashrc file I guess. [04:15] Yes. [04:15] The person with the larger screen will see those. [04:15] You can ask him to maximize his terminal. [04:16] if its not maxed, will i still see input? [04:17] samwilliam, operation completed successfully :) [04:17] wyseguy: Yes. [04:17] hm, cant seem to exit tmux [04:18] ctrl c, :q or any of those, hm [04:18] wyseguy: Do you want to close the session or just leave it open? [04:18] wyseguy: ctrl b d [04:19] rypervenche i was testing it with ssh from one terminal then on the vm itself from another [04:19] but its stuck [04:19] i guess i could just restart it [04:19] wyseguy: try ctrl + b then k [04:19] restarted it [04:19] :p [04:20] okay so on both sudo -i then on one do tmux and on the other do tmuxa [04:21] If you know what you're doing, sure. But be careful. You'll both be root at that point. [04:21] samwilliam, slapping the other one over, least it's giving me a count this one, hope it's somewhat accurate (3.5 hours) [04:21] Hello! I just installed Xubuntu and I was hoping I could get some help. The headphone volume is extremely low. [04:21] ohhh it worked!

[05:22] :D [05:22] whoa my friend had your name [05:22] thank you so much! [05:22] no problem [05:22] his name was Eric? [05:22] yeah [05:22] trippy hunh [05:25] so i should save this in case my other flash drive is giving me problems [05:27] so maybe the trick is just doing all the mounting and unmounting from the terminal where i have root? [05:27] dharma: you could do that, but if you want to copy files in the file manager you'd need to start it as root [05:28] if you have gksu installed you can do gksu nautilus [05:28] i don't understand any of that... i know i should give up on linux but i have no choice right now [05:28] i need to hire someone from the LUG :) [05:29] once i get my 2+TB drive and if i go to an Installfest maybe things will go better [05:30] what's LUG?

[05:59] yeah [05:59] hmm.. [05:59] i suppose tapbutton1 must be 1? [06:00] i saw something about that on my googling.. [06:00] not sure tho' [06:00] yes [06:00] do 'synclient TapButton2=3 && synclient TapButton3=2' I think [06:01] then restart? [06:01] nope [06:01] should work [06:02] it doesnt [06:02] doesn't [06:02] if it doesn't then you need to synclient TouchpadOff = 0 [06:02] i solved it..synclient tapbutton1=1 [06:02] :D [06:03] thanks [06:03] one more question...it is permanent? [06:03] no [06:03] :( [06:03] you'll need to put it in your ~/.bashrc [06:03] hmm..ok [06:03] just do this [06:03] echo 'syclient tapbutton1=1' >> ~/.bashrc [06:04] make sure you use 2 >'s [06:04] 1 will delete the file, 2 will add whatever your adding to the end [06:04] oh..appending [06:04] thanks [06:04] yes [06:04] technically you'd want to put it in your ~/.bash_profile, but either works [06:04] one just sets it once, the other sets it everytime you open a terminal [06:07] I came in here to troll and ended up helping people... and I'm using arch... wtf am I doing? hahaha [06:07] lol [06:07] Maybe there's hope yet [06:09] dont-panic, https://paste.fedoraproject.org/388545/71748146/ [06:11] idk, I don't really know what apacheds is, some weird version of apache or something? [06:12] in my experience, when dpkg throws an error, something doesn't have a dependency it needs [06:13] its apache directory service [06:14] I think the main issue is some of the pkgs are partially install with some kind of inter-dependencies not being met [06:14] all three of those words sound like a nightmare when you put them together lol [06:14] would it be best to clean up all these packages [06:15] lol :) [06:15] are you putting a mail server together? [06:15] I don't think the autoremove would hurt anythign [06:16] I had something like this happen with node and I never figured it out, but I know what I did to cause the issue, and that was delete a bunch of packages it needed on accident. [06:17] even autoremove throws the same error ... [06:17] Failed to start apacheds.service: Unit apacheds.service is not loaded properly: Invalid argument.

I'm on arch [06:23] o [06:24] hi, i am trying to install VirtualBox on my vps and i get the following error 'kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)' . i ahve tried everything i could and found o interent. installing dkms removing and reinstalling. i did it all with root. can someone please help me? my version is 14.04 [06:24] Al3x_10m: For those TapButton's, 1 = left, 2 = middle, 3 = right. The number after the = sign is how many fingers you want to use. So TapButton2=3 means that 3 fingers tapping the touch pad do a middle click, or paste buffer. [06:25] B0R3D: what kind of vps? [06:25] i figured.. [06:25] B0R3D: VPS? openVZ ? [06:25] my touchpad is old enough [06:25] so that doesn't work anyway [06:25] dont-panic how i can know that :X ? [06:25] if its openvz, you wont be able to I don't think [06:26] B0R3D: who'd you buy it through and did it say openvz or kvm next to it? [06:26] BYE [06:27] dont-panic i can't remember :X [06:27] is it possible to check which virtuallization? [06:28] B0R3D: the fact that its throwing a kernel error, its probably openvz [06:28] dont-panic i connected to the panel it says ovz seems like openvz right? [06:28] if its not more than like 12 bucks a month, you have openvz [06:28] hello, i think there is a bug in system monitor's bandwidth graph [06:28] yeah, can't do virtualziation on that [06:28] B0R3D: dmidecode -s system-product-name [06:28] there is nothing i can do to run virtual machine in it? [06:29] openvz uses the underlying systems kernel and makes containers ontop of it. you can't modify the underlying kernel [06:29] when it is running for a long time it shows wildly different utilization than virtualbox actually uses [06:29] so vmware won't work as well? [06:29] nop [06:30] which kind of server i need to rent? [06:30] no, openvz is basically a chroot with less underlying access [06:32] B0R3D: why are you trying to put a vm on a vps? [06:33] dont-panic i want few system running from one machine. (few windows under linux) [06:33] that's gonna be an expensive vm [06:33] dont-panic so it's better just buying few vps of windows? [06:33] why not just build a box, install linux and then virtualbox and your vms? [06:34] depends on what you're using them for [06:34] what do you mean build a box and install linux? [06:35] when you buy a vps, you're just buying space on a computer from someone who has servers in a data center. Most of what you get there you can do in your house [06:35] can someone tell me why i can not play japanese dvd on my computer [06:35] i have other ones that do? [06:36] hadleigh: idk, but I had the same issue. some arent recognized under linux, others are. [06:36] because i don't have free pc and high speed connection as vps [06:36] *not used pc [06:36] :P [06:36] hah DC has a few more advantages than the household [06:36] no anapanman [06:37] depends, I have a 150mps up and down for free because my isp swears I don't have them for service [06:38] defekt: depends on who you go through, I've had less uptime through some services due to over selling and poor configurations on their end. in the long run its usually cheaper to build your own unless you're going to need some sort of back up service and people to fix your stuff, which is unlikely if you're going through a vps provider [06:40] dont-panic: yes, depends how critial the system is [06:40] I went through 123systems once and they were so bad it would take over 20 seconds for your typing to show up... never got anything done [06:41] dont-panic thanks for help :) [06:44] dont-panic: 123systems are the worst ones, had similar experience with them in the past [06:46] ramnode is pretty damn good. i have an affiliate link if anyones thinking of getting one soon [06:47] ramnode is number one, then comes hostus followed by crissic (personal preference). I have one from time4vps for the past couple of months and it's damn stable so far [06:48] I stopped using all mine. I was mostly using them for silly hacky things [06:49] That's what most of us use them for, lol [06:49] I have a issue dpkg is freezing on ubuntu server 16.04 at "W: mdadm: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf defines no arrays." apd cant upgrade the server. How can I fix that [06:49] like ordering one in the UK so I can socks5 proxy and get streaming fifa for free on top of whatever sillyness lol [06:51] I put a script on the 123systems one to search specific byte sized chunks of /dev/urandom for a specific phrase. they don't like that when you run those asychronously lol [06:53] my ubuntu is lagging bad [06:53] and my hardware is good [06:53] Another fun way to get your boss mad is to set up a cron sending him an email every minute saying 'The time is now $(date), please ignore, as this is a test.'

[09:06] 😈 [09:06] I don [09:06] know [09:07] :10 [09:07] the majority of linux users are non-religious [09:07] tatertots : ask at #eid [09:07] (by preference) [09:08] but they believe in the new age cult of linus [09:14] Hey can you recommend Supervisor alternative for Python 3? [09:27] list [09:35] I can't find any guide with best practices to setup a binary to run as a service [09:36] may you guys recommend me something? [09:36] set path [09:37] to the binary [09:38] * folder containing binary [09:41] I was thinking about something like this: [09:41] - create a user for the binary [09:41] - put the binary in /usr/local/binary [09:41] - put the .conf in /etc/binary [09:41] - give access to the binary only that system user [09:41] - setup somehow a service script to control service binary start/stop/status [09:46] In order for that to act as a service you need to decide port_no and other stuff and entry in /etc/services [09:46] for that [09:47] leonarth: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers [09:48] sudo_su: /etc/services is only for naming ports by name, don't need to touch it unless you want iptables et al to spit out myservice instead of 4137 for port number [09:50] leonarth: yeah basically that's the procedure, you can use setsid blah & to daemonize something that doesn't daemonize itself.. not all daemons want to run under drop privs too, some need to stay root, something to keep in mind before you go creating users === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 === yavor is now known as dinogreen_rex [09:58] any suggestions on this http://askubuntu.com/questions/795169/kde-slow-boot-on-kubuntu-16-04 [09:59] Hi. I am having issues with installing Ubuntu on a old white macbook. After installing and rebooting it only shows "Operating Ststem missing". Anyone know how to fix this? [10:00] i plan to delete this file '_usr_lib_xorg_Xorg.0.crash', on /var/crash, but it says no such directory with that name. I run command rm [name file] and rm -r [name file]. Why is it happening? [10:00] both command didnt seem to work out [10:01] Aavar__: Is this going through "Boot Camp" / dual boot...? [10:01] craptalk: ls -l /var/crash [10:02] Ben64: yeah, i did it, to see the hidden file [10:02] Ben64: it shows the file i want to delete, but i cant delete it [10:03] then you're typing it incorrectly, use to complete [10:03] Ben64: what you mean? [10:03] thank you Triffid_Hunter [10:04] rm /var/crash/ [10:04] it should complete or give you options with another press of [10:05] Hi I am trying to lrunzip a large sql backup, previous backups unzip just fine, but this one keeps freezing up ubuntu, cant switch shell, mouse and keyboard unresponsive. I tried it 4 times now after rebooting/updates/checking disk space/leaving 'top' open. I noticed during the last freeze that lrunzip was using 200% CPU when it froze. [10:05] I dont think its doing anything because yesterday I waited a couple of hours and after the reboot there was a 0 byte file from the unzipping [10:06] Dulcin: sounds like you're running out of ram and swapping hard, try on a machine with more ram. alternatively you have a hardware fault where the CPU is allowed to overheat [10:06] Ben64: little stupid mistake, thank you [10:06] Dulcin: clean out the /tmp and /var/tmp, try again...have you tried that route yet? [10:06] Ben64: i was inside of its folder instead [10:07] YankDownUnder: No I havent [10:07] Ben64: then try to delete it from the inside, cant seem to work, cause the command rm i use needed to include the path folder [10:07] Ill try it [10:08] I am not able to install the following packages- mingw32 and zlib1g-dev:i386 and it is giving me the following error https://bpaste.net/show/6e5923959af0 I posted this about 3 hours ago and got disconnected coz poor internet :( [10:08] I am using ubuntu 15.10 64 bit [10:10] !eol [10:10] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [10:10] jatin30: Jul 07 2016 01:18:08 so lib32z1-dev and zlib1g-dev conflict with each other [10:10] how to resolve the conflict? [10:10] pick one [10:11] I was actually trying to start caching for building the ROM and it said I got to have the list of packages installed here http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-android-from-source [10:11] so will it be fine if I have one of lib32z1-dev and zlib1g-dev ? [10:12] you'd have to check with whatever you're building [10:12] and what about mingw32 [10:12] it says it cannot locate the package [10:13] that's a windows thing [10:13] slm [10:14] hmm, maybe not [10:14] merhaba millet [10:14] there is a mingw32 package === aaron is now known as Guest31858 [10:18] Hello [10:18] Guest31858, just ask your question [10:19] no need to say hello, hi etc. [10:21] !info Guest31858 [10:21] Package Guest31858 does not exist in xenial [10:22] !info daumie254 [10:22] Package daumie254 does not exist in xenial [10:23] sudo_su: gparted ain't working in xenial... Tried to remove and install but still not working [10:24] how does it "not work" [10:24] daumie254: Did you type: sudo gparted ? [10:24] can you speak german [10:24] i am from germany [10:24] !ot Guest31858, [10:24] !de | Guest31858 [10:24] Guest31858: In den meisten Ubuntu-Kanälen wird nur Englisch gesprochen. Für deutschsprachige Hilfe besuche bitte #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #edubuntu-de oder #ubuntu-at. Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [10:24] It's not super great to be running X apps with sudo, at least use gksudo if so [10:25] thanks [10:26] YankDownUnder: I just opened it from the GUI === atrius_ is now known as atrius [10:26] Ben64: It ain't opening up [10:26] daumie254: run 'gksu gparted' from a terminal [10:27] what is gksu for ? [10:27] grant su ? [10:27] gksu - GTK+ frontend for su and sudo [10:28] Yes gksu, pardon my typo :D === Desu is now known as MrElendig [10:29] hateball: gksudo works as well, but involves typing a whole two extra characters :( [10:30] !tab | :D [10:30] :D: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [10:30] cool how can I have gksu source code ? [10:30] Anyhow, dont run with just sudo. That'll end badly some day. [10:31] I really was fumbling for such utility as its code can solve my issue ! [10:32] What's the directory for its script ? [10:34] Ben64: i wanna use gparted to attempt data rescue on my external hard drive [10:35] thats not what gparted does [10:35] If you're after data rescue, there are tools for that [10:35] daumie254: Use testdisk or something instead [10:35] !rescue [10:35] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [10:35] Wrong [10:35] hateball: from n external hard drive [10:36] daumie254: Yes, that doesnt matter [10:36] !recovery [10:36] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [10:36] :D [10:36] damn, what is it [10:36] !undelete [10:36] Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [10:36] there you go [10:37] Ben64: i will go for that...lemme see he link [10:38] Under "device" tab..there's something like "Attempt Data Rescue" [10:39] On hitting "Attempt Data Rescue"....i get "command gpart was not found" [10:40] using what [10:40] ok so I have a media folder that contains a folder for every show/film i have but in each sub folder of my media there is also a folder called "Plex Versions". How can I recursively delete all folders that contain the name "Plex Versions" [10:40] Gparted ofcourse....i wanna give it a try first [10:41] daumie: no. gparted is not for that [10:41] It'll try and restore MBR, but that's not really rescuing a drive.. [10:41] I got an external partition mounted . I can create backup script to make regular backups but backup for complete system regularly would be obsolete . Any command to append the backup with only modified and newly created files or folders ? [10:42] sudo_su: look into using rsync [10:43] The data is mostly project psd and some music on an external hard drive [10:44] YankDownUnder: i'm sorry for the late reply. Yes I am dualbooting with os x yes. [10:45] Could someone link me on how to receive faxes on ubuntu? [10:46] I thought it was an archaic technology but I need it [10:46] do I have to make a contract with a fax company? Does anyone know how this goes? [10:47] you need to have a phone line and a modem, and some software to answer the calls [10:47] hi, on my xvda I have 35 gb but only xvda1 is used (20 gb), how can I use the other 15 gb? [10:48] Cool , btw I once had some boot issue I was unable to read the contents of the filesystem for Ubuntu on Windows (system on dual boot) . Was it due to perms or Windows can't read ext4 by default ? [10:48] sudo_su: windows can't read ext by default [10:48] Hello. I'm having issues while connecting 2nd external monitor to my x230 Thinkpad. It is recognized but when I click "enable", screens flash but enable tick revers back to empty [10:49] xrandr --output DP1 --auto --verbose: http://pastebin.com/R8RZmn6M [10:49] And ubuntu has NTFS package installed by default ? [10:50] or any ntfs reading utility [10:50] sudo_su: Yes [10:50] sudo_su: yes [10:59] i need to have reinstall and repartiotion my whole os just using ssh connection ... here is the thing ... enable grub-image-loader use mini.iso of ubuntu but need to have ssh connection during boot ... if there is the better way ? also the better solution reinstall ubuntu over ssh [10:59] deboostrap not helped cause i need repartitioning my whole server [11:01] sweb: not possible, you need physical access [11:03] Ben64: so bad it's will be great tools ... many ISP dont have IPMI kvm Over IP for reinstall ... some of them use invalid ISO files ... touched by douche administrators ... this is the real problem ... i need to install fresh copy of my own ISO [11:06] Needed help on sound issues.

[11:07] yeah c; [11:07] go ahead and ask ^^ [11:08] The sound is wierd on headphones, but it works fine on speakers. I used the test sound feature. When i selected the left speaker, the sound is played on both the ear pieces. [11:08] plug the headphones in better [11:09] I tried that. [11:09] try them on another device [11:09] The earphones work fine in my phone. [11:09] iphone? [11:09] Android. [11:09] Nexus 6. [11:10] Adithya: does the connector have three or four contact-points? [11:10] Three. [11:11] It was working fine before. After a random update this issue has popped up. [11:11] Lets say I have two displays, one is running on hdmi1 port and the other on hdmi2 port. I was wondering if i could start a browser explicitly to be shown on hdm2, and a second browser explicitely on hdm1? If yes, how owuld you do that?

[14:28] tatertots: Not sure if a Canon printer would be supported by hplip [14:29] tatertots, no idea, network, answered in pm [14:29] HPLIP supports other brand of printers, not just HP printers [14:29] tatertots: Thanks for the info, must admit I thought it was only for hp printers [14:30] surprised ...i know right [14:30] http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/ [14:30] tatertots: Very surprising [14:30] see if your printer is supported by HPLIP http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/supported_devices/ [14:31] tatertots, ok checking it now [14:32] I checked the manufactures support page http://www.canon-europe.com/support/products/imagerunner/imagerunner-2520.aspx?type=download&language=EN&os=LINUX [14:32] windows/Mac are the only supported OS's [14:33] where did you read this printer was supported/compatible? === rafael_ is now known as rafaelg [14:33] tatertots, no man it's even written on the manual, plus I did find the drivers for linux .deb and Installed them! [14:33] tatertots: Is there a specific reason you need this driver, most printers support generic LPD. [14:33] hello [14:34] How are you doing? [14:34] tatertots, it is seen and recognized, just "inactive" when I try to print (I even read online of ppl who installed it and had it working, just didn't explain how...) [14:37] Has anyone else had a problem trying to install WINE on a 64bit system? [14:38] Nope [14:38] Works fine, obviously [14:38] what's the problem? [14:38] Navy8404Hess, ^ [14:38] hmm [14:38] I am having a problem with broken dependencies. [14:39] Can you send us the logfile, Navy8404Hess ? [14:39] What is WINE? [14:39] !wine | GreenPearls [14:39] GreenPearls: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [14:39] GreenPearls: it's that thing that supposed to get your drunk but instead you get a cold or sick cause of it [14:39] Or that ^^ [14:39] replace drunk with windows and it's the same effect [14:39] Is it a programmers room? [14:39] it's a windows emulation layer [14:40] wow, thank you Eric [14:40] I'm headed over to the winehq support [14:40] thanks [14:40] sure GreenPearls [14:41] I'm totally an ignorant about programming stuff [14:41] Maybe I should learn or something :) [14:41] You could give it a try, yeah [14:41] tatertots, these are the output errors, how can I fix it? I don't get much out of this [14:41] http://pastebin.fr/47201 [14:44] What is the date of the EOL for 15.10?, i.e. June Xth?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:47] lyze, where to start? [14:47] GreenPearls, With wine? [14:47] Install playonlinux, which is a wrapper and has some preset games with one click installers [14:47] ok i'm having nothing but issues with the ubuntu firewall i think [14:48] i just did a fresh install and installed some software with a web interface that i want to access from remote machines but it wont let me [14:48] by removing one of them and repeating the print job to determine what errors persist after there are no duplicates [14:48] i tried to do sudo ufw allow [14:48] lyze, end of month? [14:48] No I meant with programming [14:48] and it shows as allowed from anywhere when i run "sudo ufw status" [14:49] moat_joe, I guess so [14:49] I need a basic information [14:49] but still nothing is loading [14:49] ufw? [14:49] maddawg2: ufw is disabled by default [14:49] not in 16.04 [14:49] Jack56: uncomplicated firewall [14:49] load ufw [14:49] GreenPearls, Ahh. I guess you'd choose a programming language first. Maybe python is a great language for you since it's pretty easy to learn, powerful and can create lots of different apps including games and stuff. [14:49] As If I understand what a wrapper is .. I'm zero knowledge but I'm a good learner [14:49] But you'd need to look around and try stuff out [14:49] maddawg2: yes it is, try sudo iptables -S [14:50] GreenPearls, There a great online tutorials, even complete websites which are dedicated to help people with programming. (Can't recommend you one though) [14:50] Great, should i download certain books about phyton? or YouTube videos?

Might not work for all, as it is a very strange read :P [14:58] EriC^^, http://imgur.com/I8TuGbD [14:58] thats a screenshot of my iptables -S output [14:58] i would recommend ruby or python for a first language. i recommend finding a recent book or other credible guide [14:59] maddawg2: ok, it's default and everything is set to accept [14:59] what's actually not working [14:59] mit has a book and tutorial coursework on python [14:59] in the freeware section [15:00] GreenPearls: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/intro-programming/ [15:00] Hi!

[15:05] Palm_premium, pretty sure it's not the web interface as even ssh doesnt work [15:05] Narta, you're not bad , mistaken perhaps, thta's all [15:06] maddawg2: check /var/log/syslog for anything [15:06] usually it'll say there it got a connection and dropped it, /var/log/auth.log maybe [15:06] Blue, hey there well I don't know if you gonna believe me I dunno what does Ubuntu mean [15:07] Anyone how to create own OS?

[15:08] Narta: like assembling your own distro LFS-style kind of thing or actually coding a kernel and a libc etc.. [15:08] Thank you for explaining.. what is a hmm Linux? [15:08] debidi: i think he wants to make his own ubuntu-based distro, like a spin off [15:08] !custom [15:08] OS LIKE MINT [15:09] Narta Os [15:09] GreenPearls, Ubuntu is a linux operating system like Windows 7 is a Microsoft Operating system [15:10] Blue, thank you for explaining, I do appreciate your help [15:10] GreenPearls, Linux is a kernel, the part of an OS that talks to the hardware [15:10] GreenPearls, do you understand? [15:10] Narta: found it https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DerivativeDistroHowto [15:10] and Ubuntu is an OS that uses Linux [15:10] Yes its same like windows 7 and xp [15:10] Right? [15:10] in that case what I would do is debootstrap a minimal ubuntu or debian system and add what I need using apt/dpkg [15:10] those are both OSes, yes [15:10] tm, thank you :)) [15:11] And Trademarks?

[15:14] ok my OS will be illegal then :) [15:14] ha [15:14] BluesKaj: free world :) [15:15] maddawg2: You do have a working internet connection on that machine? Also when you try to connect too the webinterface/ssh are you on the same network or is there a firewall in between (, this might be the case on large company/organization networks). [15:15] But Mint use Ubuntu trademak?

[15:16] Palm_premium, i am on the same network and i can ping it and access my ohter devices from the ubuntu machine [15:16] This command [15:16] it seems that ubuntu is blocking it [15:17] stop stop [15:17] I mean SOURCE CODE [15:17] sed no will work with the .debs [15:17] Narta: it was a joke [15:18] O.o [15:18] good [15:18] xD [15:21] 2008 jimi_hendrix in messageboards is a total noob. [15:21] maddawg2: If you are being blocked by the firewall it should be logged in /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/messages [15:21] maddawg2: could you also check /etc/hosts.deny if there are any entries? [15:23] /set bell_beeps [15:24] How to install remastersys? [15:25] Palm_premium, i'm checking now.. sorry it's taking awhile i'm having to use the vm console [15:25] this ubuntu machine is on a home network so now firewall really between them (other than router) but all local traffic is allowed [15:26] and interestingly if i do ubuntu 14.04 and install the same packages they all work no problme [15:26] even ssh [15:26] important to note that this is a fresh install too [15:27] maddawg2: maybe it's a systemd thing? [15:27] systemd? [15:27] the init system [15:27] well the services work from localhost [15:27] like if i ssh into localhost works fine [15:28] and web interfaces all work via localhost [15:28] does something depend on the conventional eth0 naming? [15:28] shouldnt [15:28] it's a fresh install [15:28] and all i did was sudo apt-get install openssh-server [15:28] that was the first thing i did and that didnt work [15:28] try a simple server [15:28] what? [15:28] maddawg2: you just said ssh into localhost works fine? so openssh-server works, afaict? [15:29] nc -lvp 9090 [15:29] from localhost nacc [15:29] but not from other machines [15:29] which is why i immediately assumed firewall [15:29] yooooooo! my dell 7559 can not install ubuntu 16.04 lts. the DE crashed on startup. dmesg shown the libmutter.so SIGFAULT. [15:29] how can i fix that? [15:29] maddawg2: ah ok, but still, i think that means openssh-server installed fine (otherwise ssh localhost also would fail) [15:29] How to install remastersys? [15:29] yes as do i' [15:30] maddawg2: nothing relevant in the logs? (sorry had to reboot a second ago) [15:30] maddawg2: try nc -lvp 9090 , and from another terminal type nc localhost 9090 [15:30] Narta: is that a command? i don't see it in ubuntu [15:30] maddawg2: By default I dont think port 22 is blocked by the local firewall [15:30] nacc, http://www.remastersys.org/ [15:31] maddawg2: what is the error you get when sshing from remote? [15:31] connection refused [15:31] so Intel+NVIDIA is still buggy on 16.04 ? [15:31] same with apache [15:31] Narta: seems like you'd read their webpage or github pages to find out. Or ask them on IRC. [15:32] Narta: not an Ubuntu support topic [15:32] yeticry: I installed 16.04 on a intel + nvidia 950 without any probleme [15:32] hi, how? any tips? [15:32] yeticry: what version of ubuntu? [15:32] could you just add someting like iptables -I INPUT 1-s -j ACCEPT [15:32] Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [15:32] yeticry: oh i see, 16.04 [15:32] yeticry: sorry about that [15:32] machine is Dell 7559 [15:32] maddawg2: could you just add someting like iptables -I INPUT 1-s -j ACCEPT and test if that solves it [15:33] Model is Ins15P-2748 [15:33] maddawg2: should be "iptables -I INPUT 1 -s -j ACCEPT" [15:33] Palm_premium, whats the difference between ufw and iptables? [15:33] it seems ufw is running on mine by default [15:33] maddawg2: ufw is a frontend to iptables [15:33] ah [15:34] iptables -nL does not produce long lists of output? [15:34] cuz ufw was enabled at a fresh install [15:34] yeticry: is it related to LP: #1434698 [15:34] Launchpad bug 1434698 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Gnome-shell segfault blaming libmutter in vertical screen configuration" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1434698 [15:34] hi G-Ray, how do you install ubuntu with dual graphics card? [15:34] maddawg2: it shouldn't be enabled, is this ubuntu or a derivative? [15:34] thanks nacc. [15:34] thank you. [15:34] maddawg2: Just googled ufw and it is indeed a frontend to iptables [15:35] yeticry: not a lot of detail, unfortunately. There are similar bugs in ever distro, it seems though :/ [15:35] EriC^^, it's literally a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04 desktop [15:35] yeticry: only nvidia card was used [15:35] very first thing i did was install openssh [15:35] and then this happened [15:35] yeticry: the workaround in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250128#c7 might be worth trying? [15:35] bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1250128 in gnome-shell "segfault in libmutter.so.0.0.0" [High,Closed: duplicate] [15:35] i will try now. [15:35] maddawg2: could you check what ip ssh is bound to in the config? [15:35] reinstall again. [15:36] Palm_premium, listen address is commented out as it is on all my linux machines [15:37] it looks precisely the same [15:37] also apache2 doesnt work [15:37] literally nothing from another machine works [15:37] maddawg2: can you disable ufw/iptables? [15:38] tried that too [15:38] it worked after a reboot [15:38] but then it stgopped working suddenly [15:38] any error in apache2's error.log? [15:39] give me a minute [15:39] that seems highly suspect -- that it works and then stops working (randomly). Is your cable loose? :) [15:39] based on the symptoms i really think it's firewall related.. i mean al lservices work exactly as they should [15:39] nacc if that were the case then all my VMs wouldnt work [15:39] and i wouldnt be able to get to my VM [15:40] it's a vm guest on a vmware esxi server with 8 other guests [15:40] and i can ping the machine fine [15:40] maddawg2: i don't believe you said that before; not sure how I would have known that [15:40] i sent a screenshot [15:40] maddawg2: so of 9 guests, 1 fails? [15:40] yep [15:40] maddawg2: i take it you alread tried to open the port using ufw? "sudo ufw allow ", port 80 443 and 22 should be open [15:40] and the only one running 16.04 [15:40] i even created a new VM of ubuntu 14.04 since i had an ISO for it [15:40] installed everything no issue [15:40] and loaded everything no issue [15:41] Palm_premium, yea i did that [15:41] maddawg2: can the host access the guest (over ssh)? [15:41] if i do sudo ufw show [15:41] it shows all the poprts i specified as allow from anywhere [15:41] what do you mean? [15:41] nacc [15:41] maddawg2: It seems unlikely, but it could also be the outgoing firewall on your client [15:41] my client? [15:42] has no firewall [15:42] maddawg2: i've never used vmware, but in a kvm hosting environment, presuming your guests have routable IPs, i can ssh from the host to the guest [15:42] and it doesnt work from any of my linux machines [15:42] nacc yes i can do that but not to the machine in question [15:42] connection is refused [15:42] i can however ssh into all other linux machines on my vm [15:42] maddawg2: are you trying to ssh in as root? [15:42] try this? sudo ufw allow Apache [15:42] nacc no [15:42] maddawg2: What virtualization software are you running and what is the type of nic thats been configured? [15:42] i dont even get to the login screen [15:43] maddawg2: login screen? you're using ssh... [15:43] Palm_premium, i am running vmware esxi 6.0 [15:43] yes i am aware [15:43] i am using putty [15:43] you enter ip and port [15:43] connect [15:43] get the login prompt [15:43] but i dont ever get the login prompt [15:43] maddawg2: are you using a NATed nic? [15:43] connection is refused [15:43] Palm_premium, no such thing in vmware esxi [15:43] it's all bridgred [15:43] bridged* [15:43] vmware esxi isnt capable of nat [15:44] the guest gets an ip from my router [15:44] i can get to the internet [15:44] maddawg2: awesome, that caused me heaps of trouble in the past. [15:44] i can access all network resources from guest [15:44] but none of my other drevices can access that guest [15:44] tho the guest responds to pings [15:44] i mean have my home NFS mounted on the guest right now [15:45] and thats a whole seperate device [15:47] maddawg2: two NICs in the guest? [15:47] no [15:47] just one [15:47] i'm just gonna give up [15:47] it's been 2 days of this crap with 16.04 [15:47] everything under it works perfectly fine [15:48] i'm gonna do a fresh install of 16.04 and try every damn step over again [15:48] i've installed hundreds of linux guests in the past and this is literally the ONLY one that refuses external connections [15:49] maddawg2: try nc -lvp 9090 [15:49] then nc localhost 9090 in another terminal [15:49] maddawg2; so whats different between this vm and your others? [15:49] Xin nothing [15:49] except this one has 16.04 [15:49] impossible [15:49] right, so some things [15:49] in fact if i wipe this one and install 14.04 it works fine [15:49] including various configurations [15:49] maddawg2: nc 9090 on the other machine i mean [15:50] EriC^^, what? [15:50] from another linux machine? [15:50] so, its 99% likely your firewall or, you installed a dns server, or made other relevant changes [15:50] from the external pc you're connecting from [15:50] 99.999 even [15:50] Xin no i'm using IP so not DNS involved [15:50] also I have no firewall [15:50] it's a home network [15:50] hello mec [15:50] doesnt 16 come with a firewall by default [15:51] Thats what i said [15:51] and everyone said NO i was wrong [15:51] no, it's disabled by default [15:51] that it'd disabled by default [15:51] fuck what people SAY, check [15:51] but i can attest that it is in fact not [15:51] i did [15:51] and it shows as running [15:51] and i added the accepted ports [15:51] ok, well, you know to a 100% certainty [15:51] please a tale one probleme of my ubuntu distribution [15:51] and then i rebooted and it worked once [15:51] then all of the sudden stopped [15:51] that the problem lies in the differences between 14 and 16 [15:51] help me please [15:51] right? [15:52] that's my guess [15:52] that's what i concluded [15:52] !help | buzzigang [15:52] buzzigang: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [15:52] but cant figure out what [15:52] its not a guess if installing 14 worked [15:52] skim the change logs of 15 and 16 [15:52] i did [15:52] maddawg2: have you tried installing 14.04 on the exact same VM? [15:52] and nothing about firewall [15:52] nacc yep [15:52] yesterday [15:52] Xin: his problem is intermittent though [15:52] no issue [15:52] no it was intermitten ONCE [15:52] maddawg2: does it work on every reboot? [15:52] "a restart fixed it, then suddenly" [15:52] no [15:52] yes that one time it fixed [15:53] then all of the sudden it stopped [15:53] and never worked again after [15:53] despite the firewall rules being the exact same [15:53] maddawg2: well you haven't been very cooperative with us [15:53] do a clean install of ubuntu server mini.iso [15:53] what do you mean? [15:53] * nacc blames vmware and walks away :) [15:53] select no packages [15:53] see if that works any better [15:53] i've been very cooperative [15:53] i sent logs [15:53] and screenshots [15:53] maddawg2: did you check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/auth.log? [15:53] yep [15:54] nothing in them from remote connections [15:54] i'd paste them if i could ssh in [15:54] maddawg2: you don't have console to your VM? [15:54] can you ping the ip? [15:54] i do [15:54] but cant copy and paste from a vm console [15:54] maddawg2: that sounds like a bad console. [15:54] EriC^^, yes pinging works fine [15:54] no vmware server can do that [15:55] * nacc returns to blaming vmware and walking further away [15:55] there is no copy and paste on a vmserver cuz your client doesnt pass clipboard [15:55] maybe vmware has some firewall of it's own or something? [15:55] no firewall in vmware esxi [15:55] it's simply passive [15:55] the host doresnt even have the ability to NAT or assign IP addresses [15:55] it attaches EVERYTHING to your own router [15:56] and passes it through just like a physical PC [15:56] i can ping the guest [15:56] and the guest can access all my home srervers and my synology is working fine on it [15:56] but connecting to the guest from any machine is refused [15:56] i am going to do a fresh install right now and try all over again [15:57] lubuntu install, my monitor keeps turning off after some time (10 minutes?) how do I disable this ? [15:57] maddawg2: try nc for a sec [15:57] I have already disabled DPMS and it still turns off the monitor [15:57] why is it turning off the monitor [15:58] it's a simple test to see if you can connect [15:58] EriC^^, just a sec firing up my machine again [15:58] i reset ufw to default config [15:58] or just sudo apt-get purge ufw? [15:59] well i dont want to dump that as i do want a firewall eventually [15:59] therealtbe, are you forced to reboot it or what ? [15:59] it'd be bad not to have any [16:00] ioria: no, after 10 minutes of inactivity the monitor powers off, if I move the mouse or keyboard it wakes back up [16:00] EriC^^, whats the nc command you want me to try? [16:00] maddawg2: nc -lvp 9090 [16:00] from another PC right? [16:00] on the host, and nc 9090 on the client that's trying to connect [16:00] therealtbe, ctrl + alt + L , gives you same effect ? [16:00] ioria: xset -q says DPMS is disabled http://paste.ubuntu.com/18711021/ [16:00] maddawg2: wehre host is your 'broken' VM [16:01] maddawg2: and client is any other system in your network, aiui [16:01] therealtbe, ctrl + alt + L , gives you same effect ? [16:01] ioria: it is a kiosk and all ctrl+alt keymappings have been disabled... [16:02] therealtbe: maybe check under settings -> power (at least on ubuntu gnome, not sure generally) to see if a blank screen timeout is turned on? [16:02] therealtbe, idk then . i had big issues with light-locker and light-locker-settings on lubuntu [16:02] nacc: it is lubuntu and there is no such thing. is that controled by a config file somewhere that I can look? [16:03] nacc just flashing cursor from client right now [16:03] think it's gonna refuse [16:03] therealtbe: it'd be DM/DE specific, i think [16:03] no error yet [16:03] nacc nacc: I see from xset that it says Screen saver prefer blanking: yes [16:03] maddawg2: on the host it said it's listening fine [16:03] ? [16:03] yes [16:03] maddawg2: I wish you the best of luck with this very interesting pain in the arse problem, but I am signing off. [16:04] therealtbe: hrm, i guess that could be it, and would probably related to what ioria said about lightlocker? [16:04] EriC^^, actually the host shows that it accepted it [16:04] shows the IP of the machine i'm connecting from [16:04] maddawg2: nice [16:04] so that worked [16:04] wtf is up with the other stuff tho [16:04] therealtbe, light-locker should be installed by default on lubuntu 16.04 ---- dpkg -l light-locker ? [16:04] so strange [16:04] ok, so it's an ssh/apache config issue [16:04] ioria: nacc I have completely purged lightlocker from the system [16:04] and webmin [16:04] and plex? [16:04] and every other remote service? [16:05] maddawg2: try sudo service ssh stop [16:05] therealtbe, dpkg -l gnome-screensaver [16:05] then sudo nc -lvp 22 [16:05] to see if it's port specific [16:05] ioria: nacc sorry 14.04 LTS I should have mentioned. I removed lightlocker. I have set xset s off to disable screensaver, and xset -dpms to disable dpms. [16:06] no it accepted it [16:06] wtf [16:06] ioria: nacc removing gnome-screensaver now [16:07] therealtbe, have you installed other screensaver , like xscreensaver ? [16:07] maddawg2: try with ssh -vvv [16:07] so start the ssh service again? [16:07] yeah [16:08] ioria: nacc: no other screensaver packages installed.

[16:13] nacc, yes [16:13] therealtbe, if you removed light-locker and screensaver... it can't time out ... am i right ? [16:13] WDA: why? [16:13] cause [16:13] WDA: if you want help, please provide actual answers. [16:14] WDA: and if you don't want to, then just do what dpkg told you.

[17:06] virus: is that from an ubuntu package? if not, contact the maintainer/owner of the program [17:06] install compiz [17:07] hotstar is an android app ! [17:08] for online Indian television channels [17:09] tortib: quick cursory reading implies that compiz isn't compatible with gnome3 (there is its own compositing manager in gnome3 (mutter?)) [17:09] Btw how do I build a package ? [17:10] Hey guys, I've a bit of questions about Ubuntu executables. I've heard that Ubuntu sees the first few bytes to determine the type of it. Why are the executables compiled by me shown as a shared lib in Ubuntu GUI file manager? It can't even execute from file manager (Says no application for this) but runs fine from terminal. [17:10] Mirinda: that's a very general question, `dpkg-buildpackage` or `debuild`. [17:11] winger: the first statement is a Linux statement, not an Ubuntu-specific one, btw. [17:12] winger: depends how you built it [17:12] winger: what is an "executable" in this context? what did you build? [17:13] tortib: you could try installing compizconfig-settings-manager, though [17:14] nacc, ty [17:14] nacc: Yeah that was a typo. It's just a hello world program built using the Rust compiler. "file test" shows that it's an ELF 64-bit shared object, x86-64 version 1. But when I right click and see the properties, it shows an application/x-sharedlib. I'm totally new to linux so please bear with me :) [17:15] nacc, wouldn't i have to use compiz as the window manager then? [17:15] nacc, can I do that in gnome3 classic? [17:15] tortib: i'm genuinely not sure :) [17:15] nacc, i'm having a problem with lightdm [17:15] winger: it says "shared object" or "ELF... executable" when you run `file` ? [17:15] something in my home dir is causing lightdm to show a black screen when I boot up, I have to switch to a tty and then back to lightdm in order to see the login screen. Then when I login it takes a long long time to bring the desktop up, almost 5min. [17:16] winger: if it says "shared object", then both `file` and the file manager are agreeing [17:16] Is unity 2d available for 16.04 ? [17:16] Mirinda: no, I believe it is deprecated [17:16] Mirinda: well, unsupported, rather [17:16] nacc: admittedly, I'd like to see Unity 2D still be supported, as the current version of Unity won't work with X2Go. [17:17] nacc: Why doesn't it run normally when I double click it tho? [17:17] "There is no application installed for “shared library” files." [17:17] DArqueBishop: is there a bug filed? :) === AzureStigma is now known as Surfer [17:17] winger: because it's not an executable (if `file` outputted what you said) [17:18] winger: not a normal executable, at least [17:18] nacc: I have no idea. === Surfer is now known as surf [17:19] usually because shared libs are application [17:20] DArqueBishop: Mirinda: looking at unity changelog, it seems unity2d transitional packages were removed in 16.04 [17:20] I went to use traceroute and was prompted to install it. It gives the option of "inetutils-traceroute" or "traceroute" - what's the difference? [17:21] Were there any reported issues with it ? [17:22] Mirinda: i don't know [17:22] nacc: from what I'm reading, it's Unity's hardware acceleration requirement that prevents X2Go from using it properly. [17:22] nacc, any idea? [17:22] nacc, I got disconnected [17:22] wetwipes: different upstream projects [17:22] howdy [17:22] How do I remove all the lenses at the bottom of the menu? [17:22] DArqueBishop: ah, i guess i could see that [17:23] winger: if you want some further help, maybe pastebin `file path/to/executable` and evidence that `./path/to/exeuctable` launches it [17:23] *executable [17:23] tortib: sorry not really; sounds abnormal. Could you try creating a new user and seeing if it happens to that user? [17:24] nacc, with a new user it doesn't happen, it's something in my home dir, I've cleared out the cache and it still does it. [17:25] tortib: clearing out what cache? [17:25] nacc, ~/.cache === precise is now known as precise|afk [17:25] tortib: i would assume it's a config (so in .config) rather than a .cache value; but hard to say. You could try `mv ~/.config ~/.config.bak` as a test and see if it helps? [17:26] .. [17:26] 0.0 [17:28] nacc: Properties: http://prntscr.com/bq157q file path and ./path: http://prntscr.com/bq152v [17:28] nacc, fixed it! :D [17:28] winger: yeah, so a normal executable (as understood by the GUI stuff, I assume too) is a "executable" to `file` [17:29] nacc, thanks [17:29] winger: i assume this is something rust does, which i don't know much about [17:29] nacc, still one more problem, when I log out I get a blank screen and I have to switch to a tty then back to lightdm to get a login screen. [17:29] I see. Thanks for the help nacc, I'll ask them [17:29] tortib: note you might have lost some of your configuration bits, which are now ~/.config.bak ... so you could try to restore bit-by-bit. Or just ignore it if you didn't have much customziation === surf is now known as AzureStigma [17:30] nacc, nah i'm using my .config i deleted some stuff in there that I don't use [17:30] now it works [17:30] nacc, please read my previous problem tho maybe you can help with that too [17:30] nacc, i'm using nvidia-367 [17:30] tortib: i have no experience with nvidia, unfortunately [17:31] :( [17:31] tortib: does anything show up in syslog when you logout?

Since I finished space on the main partition I created a second partition with Gparted reducing windows one so I can sync sources(about 30GB) on that new partition but until now I compiled in /home mount point, how can I execute all commands an make the new partition permissions same as /home?

If there are no physical volumes defined, then the answer is no. [17:58] ubuntu759: can you pastebin the output of `xrandr` ? [17:58] okay..

[18:02] is there any way to change my resolution to 1366x768 [18:02] ubuntu759: what do you mean "once"? before? did you make some change recently? [18:03] all ubuntu commands, but now that I think it's obivious that I can run commands from everywhere. Regarding permissions now the owner of the partition is root [18:04] Hacker432: still not sure i understand -- what does a partition have to do with the commands you run? I guess you've answerd that part :) [18:04] Hacker432: do you mean the mount point? [18:04] Hacker432: partitions don't have owners [18:04] Hacker432: how do you mount the new partition?

But read the manpage to know what to specify for both paths [18:25] freecoder_: ^5 [18:25] nacc, I'd actually use -a instead of -R, because it preserves permissions, etc. as best as possible when copying.

[19:01] jon5000: my guess is you'll need to boot a live USB or CD and repair your system [19:01] nacc: thanks for the info on how i fucked up [19:02] jon5000, hold shift @ boot to enter grub2, and choose recovery, i guess [19:02] dpkg --configure -a and then update >> https://administratosphere.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/rescuing-an-interrupted-ubuntu-upgrade/ old tutor, still valid i think [19:03] if this does not work for you, you can always reinstall fresh 16.04 [19:03] OerHeks: thanks. holding shift at boot does not work.

I've been here griping about 16.04 netboot leaving a successfuly installed low-end server class machine (Dell R320) unable to boot (works fine installed from CD). Now I have the same problem with a small SuperMicro. Netinst works in 2 of 4 scenarios for me, and I need to find out how to make it "just work". [19:43] Is it worth logging a bug? [19:45] I cant add ppas what shoulo i do ? [19:46] I have a sneaky suspicion that it somehow has to do w/ UEFI, because the machines I can get it to work on are VMware and Soekris, both of which have no UEFI support. The R320 *can*, but it's rendered ubootable regardless of whether it's turned on or not. Same for the SuperMicro ... [19:46] BeArDeDRaDiCaL - what do you mean? [19:47] and 14.04 works fine on all four types via netinstall, btw. [19:47] i dont know it just says please check that the PPA name or format is correct. [19:48] How are you trying to add them?

[20:26] great do you have a command to test that [20:27] to tot kill btooth? [20:27] Guest23652: sudo service bluetoothd stop [20:27] onboard is doing my suede in!

Now I cannot boot into any OS. However, I can get into grub and a command prompt. This is a lenovo laptop. [21:20] Is Org-mode worth it? E-macs seems arcane and heavy for only using org-mode and I'm still not exactly certain what it does so well [21:30] jon5000: bummer [21:30] jon5000: Mind ya, no telling yet how messed up the system is .. But, might try and see if you can explicitly boot the system from that grub > prompt ??? [21:30] Bashing-om: +1 [21:31] Bashing-om: I can get into a Lenovo tty1 prompt... it says jon@Lenovo:~$ [21:32] jon5000: how are you at a command prompt if you are not in an OS? [21:32] Bashing-om: how do you recommend I try to explicitly boot? [21:33] jon5000: Well, that is a good thing .. maybe things are not helpless . What results when logging into the system here ? ( maybe all you have is a broken proprietary graphic's driver, ??) [21:33] nacc: maybe I am. During boot, I press escape and i get a grub menu one of which is advanced options, where i choose one of the linux options in the list, then it asks me to login, which i can [21:33] jon5000: right, so you're in an OS... === phil is now known as Guest8363 [21:34] * tgm4883 smacks head [21:34] jon5000: so as Bashing-om said you probably have busted graphics or an incomplete upgrade (most likely) [21:34] jon5000: so i think someone told you how to fix that ( OerHeks ?) earlier [21:34] jon5000: dpkg-configure -a; then follow that website's guide for finishing an interrupted upgrade [21:34] nacc: Bashing-om it was an incomplete upgrade. i pulled my usb phone out while it was installing packages and it crashed. [21:35] jon5000: "12:02 < OerHeks> dpkg --configure -a and then update >> [21:35] https://administratosphere.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/rescuing-an-interrupted-ubun [21:35] tu-upgrade/ old tutor, still valid i think [21:35] " [21:35] sorry, link got cut: https://administratosphere.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/rescuing-an-interrupted-ubuntu-upgrade/ === LorPor is now known as lorpor [21:36] jon5000: my best advice would be to use a live CD to back up your data, then blow out the old OS and rebuild from scratch (preferably with 16.04 if you need to upgrade). [21:38] DArqueBishop: thanks. might do that eventually. right now dpkg --configure -a is doing alot of stuff === ben_r_ is now known as ben_r [21:41] :-) [21:42] nacc: Bashing-om: while this dpkg command is running through many lines of setting up and installing, i looked at that webpage. looks like i will need to acccess repositories. earlier today, before i got this far, it was determined that i did not have network capability (ping didnt work). is it possible that all this dpkg work that it is going through will result in me having wifi access? [21:42] jon5000: you didn't have networking your broken system? i'd say that's an invalid test, let the upgrade finish and then check [21:43] nacc: thank you that is what i was hoping you would say. ok. so this dpkg is completing the update then? that made me happy. [21:43] no, run updates again !... [21:43] jon5000: it's doing the first part, you'll still need to finish the rest of it [21:43] jon5000: it's only finishing any interrupted package installations; you still need to do the update, etc [21:44] jon5000: ^^ as nacc says . let the fixes run and see .. By the way . no wired connection available ??? [21:44] maybe with the -f option, not sure. [21:44] ok, so now just finished all that and could not hit the repository [21:44] apt-get did not work [21:44] there's a reaonably good chance you'd need to reboot now that dpkg has finished ... not sure? [21:45] jon5000: ' ping -c3 8.8.8.8 ' ' have a positive result ? [21:46] plug in networkcable, if you have no wireless network now. === MZAWeb_ is now known as MZAWeb [21:51] nacc: Bashing-om hello? i was disconnected. here is where i am now. dpkg is finished. apt-get update looked like it returned alot of errors. apt-get upgrade listed one or two things that would be held back, but then proceeded to look like alot of errors. ping www.google.com replied unknown host === MZAWeb is now known as Guest7530 [21:52] Is there a way to tell ubunt to assign a particular device to /dev/ttyACMx? [21:53] nacc: Bashing-om I think part of my problem may be that when apt-get update finished it said something about missing "resolveconf" then this was mentioned again when apt-get upgrade seemed to fail. [21:54] jon5000_: not sure it's worth trying to repair your system, I would probably just reinstall unless you have some critical data you need to keep. I unfortunately need to step away for a bit, hopefully someone else can help you out [21:54] do you think at this point i might be able to boot into a gui? [21:55] nacc: thanks. [21:56] jon5000_: Will not hurt to try to boot to the GUI .. mabe also see what results when starting the GUI from terminal ? [21:57] Bashing-om: how do i start gui from terminal [21:57] startx? [21:58] Bashing-om: great success... i am in the gui [21:58] jon5000_: What is the DE here ? That command depends on the display manager installed . [21:58] Bashing-om: well maybe not so great. no mouse control. x session does not have launcher [21:58] startx might have just changed all xorg files to root now [21:58] oops [21:59] better start the *dm. lightdm if that is a standard ubuntu [22:01] Bashing-om: the system rebooted into 15.10 [22:02] jon5000_: There is hope yet .. Will have to fix all things in 15.10 and get 15.10 fully updated prior to going on up to 16.04 ! [22:03] Bashing-om: how do i do that?

[23:22] Someone suggested a few yesterday ( don't remember the names), couldn't get them to work. [23:22] handbrake + ghb works pretty well [23:23] I use it for seasons and multi movie disks === thebaer is now known as bear|away [23:24] chasinglogic: i would ask in #snappy [23:24] nacc: thanks I didn't know that was a channel [23:24] going back to squid, the system I was planning on using only has 1 NIC. Is that going to be a massive headache? [23:25] chasinglogic: !alis can help you find channels; also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [23:25] nacc: I realize now that sounded sarcastic-ish but it was sincere [23:26] chasinglogic: np, i didn't take it that way :) [23:26] on3pk: why would it matter if you had more than 1 nic? [23:27] well I want this to be a transparent install of squid. Wouldn't it mean that data goes... in... one and out.. the other? [23:27] on3pk: what do you mean by transparent install of squid? squid is a proxy. So you install it and tell clients to use it as their proxy (or you put it in the network in such a way that they have to use it) [23:28] :| === bear|away is now known as thebaer [23:29] on3pk: did you want squid to proxy your entire network without any configuration? [23:29] as little configuration as possible, yeah [23:30] however, if it's possible to I guess just set the squid server as the gateway, would 1 nic be ok? [23:33] on3pk: gateway is a routing thing; is your squid server capable of being the gateway already (it really has nothing to do with squid, aiui). Does your network use dhcp? I think you can tell your dhcp server to serve out autoproxy information. [23:34] my dhcp server is built into some off brand router [23:34] I don't know if I have that much control [23:35] on3pk: have you read http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/TransparentProxy.html ? === k is now known as Guest67653 [23:38] no I didn't see that one [23:42] hi === fishie is now known as thomas [23:46] How can I download paid applications from the software centre? Are there no paid apps now in 16.04? [23:47] amnix: what paid apps were there before? [23:48] nacc: https://shop.canonical.com/index.php?cPath=19 [23:49] Hi I was wondering how groups work, if I were to add my daughter to the games group would it let her install games? [23:49] Grorco: no, installation is still controlled by having root access [23:50] Grorco: you could in theory restrict access to running games to the games gropu, i think [23:50] nacc: So? [23:50] amnix: i see the 'for purchase' section, but it's empty on my machine [23:51] nacc: okay so lets say I didn't want her to play GTA 5000 I could create a restricted-games-group add it to that and not allow her access? [23:52] Grorco: well, you don't really add an executable to a group, to be clear, you restrict who an execute the executable (permissions), so her user would not be able to run the program. [23:52] There might be ways to circumvent htat, but off the top of my head there shouldn't be [23:52] others might have better ideas for fine-grained access control [23:53] nacc: See I want to let her install whatever games she wants, but I don't want to hand root access to a 13 year old lol not sure what to do [23:54] What happened to all the paid apps that were in the app store in 14.04? Can they not be installed on 16.04? Someone please answer. [23:55] I got to go thanks nacc :) [23:56] Is it possible to use the menubar network controls sometimes, and command line and text editors other times, to modify network (especially wifi) settings? Can the two methodologies coexist? [23:57] Rakko: yes they can, although it's not recommended to mix & match (and they probably can confuse each other) [23:57] nacc: hmm, sounds contradictory. [23:58] is NetworkManager the right terminology for the GUI-based tools I'm talking about?
