| Tameiki | Hello, on my laptop, I have a client.conf correcly set in /etc/openvpn. But my laptop auto-connect this after boot. It is possible to not auto-connect client.conf in /etc/openvpn after boot ? | 02:06 |
| broken_ | Ben64, or possibly that little cable that conects it to the m | 02:06 |
| broken_ | MB | 02:07 |
| broken_ | Ben64 since its pretty much new | 02:07 |
| lesa2 | I mean, is there a way to prevent shutdown to kill all open apps before they "gracefully" close? | 02:07 |
| Ben64 | lesa2: killing them is nice | 02:11 |
| lesa2 | That would prevent "this is embarrassing " and "browser was not properly closed" messages and actual loss of data when there is an unsaved document. | 02:11 |
| reisio | dun dun dun | 02:11 |
| Ben64 | don't shut down with an unsaved document | 02:11 |
| lesa2 | ben64: Heh, well, I have a script that does that on Xubuntu, but I was wondering if that could be than system-wise | 02:13 |
| Ben64 | not sure what that means | 02:13 |
| lesa2 | It means, if I have an open doc in Writer, it won't let shutdown do it's thing before I click Ok. | 02:14 |
| reisio | lesa2: you talking about a system running out of battery power? | 02:15 |
| lesa2 | ben64: it is as if SIGTERM is never sent so apps are SIGKILLED. | 02:16 |
| lesa2 | reisio: no I talk about clicking on shutdown button. It is too quick and doesn't let applications close gracefully. | 02:17 |
| Ben64 | seems like the real problem is you hit shutdown when you have unsaved documents and things | 02:18 |
| chrstphrchvz | ben64, lesa2: let me dare mention how Windows and OS X, if the OS is told to shutdown, any desktop programs prompt the user to save any unsaved work before the shutdown actually happens. | 02:18 |
| lesa2 | chrstphrchvz: exactly. | 02:19 |
| lesa2 | I was wondering if Ubuntu can be set to do likewise? | 02:19 |
| lesa2 | the script I'm currently using does the same but is there a better way? | 02:20 |

| matt|home | hello. i just installed the latest version of ubuntu for desktop, and the first bootup into it was fine. but when i rebooted , the GUI pops up but there's no navigation or menu bars - its just a blank screen with the background. mouse pointer moves around but doesn't respond to right click | 03:15 |
| matt|home | i can move between X and the terminals too | 03:15 |
| matt|home | anyone know what happened? | 03:15 |
| reisio | matt|home: X cursor? | 03:16 |
| Jack42 | Hello friends ! | 03:16 |
| matt|home | yeah , the default purple background shows up and the mouse/cursor moves around and responds | 03:16 |
| matt|home | but there's no sidebars, its literally just the background | 03:17 |
| YankDownUnder | I've had this "crap" happen before. What I ended up doing - in order to force the "ethernet" to be seen was to go into BIOS, turn off COM/LPT ports (therefore freeing up the IRQ's and memory addresses), sometimes even turning OFF the onboard card (if it is an onboard card, if not, removing the card from the system) - doing several "cold" boots, then turning the ethernet back on in BIOS or replacing the card in the machine again - | 03:17 |
| YankDownUnder | and the system (the kernel) re-found the ethernet. Something worth thinking about as it's actually quick and easy to do... | 03:17 |
| Jack42 | X cursor? | 03:17 |
| reisio | matt|home: so it's an arrow? | 03:17 |
| matt|home | yep | 03:18 |
| Bashing-om | fishcooker: Sorry .. this beats me . Why you can ping local host, but the network card is not recognized by the kernel ... over my head . | 03:18 |

| matt|home | do i have to run that as sudo reisio ? | 03:19 |
| reisio | no | 03:19 |
| matt|home | mkay, because the error messages im getting are a whole bunch of "missing file x" which makes me think something got fucked | 03:20 |
| matt|home | i dont know /why/ , i was able to boot into it correctly the first time | 03:20 |
| reisio | which file/s? | 03:21 |
| matt|home | a whole bunch, the last message i saw was "error dpkg was interrupted" something something | 03:21 |
| matt|home | lemme check the log file.. | 03:21 |
| fishcooker1 | thankyou YankDownUnder... it sounds like a restart to me, CMIIW | 03:22 |
| reisio | matt|home: from DISPLAY=:0 unity ? I think not | 03:22 |
| fishcooker1 | ahh sorry for disconnecting | 03:22 |
| matt|home | reisio - nah, i ran that command, then it had a giant list of "error missing file blah"s printing out, so i decided to try apt-get update , and then from the update was the dpkg message | 03:22 |
| matt|home | now im forcing it to update | 03:22 |

| YankDownUnder | If the partition table is corrupt, it is likely to show bad "size" | 03:26 |
| lickalott | thought about it.... it's worked in the past. I had a live distro on it for a while. I think something corrupted it after I formatted it again to reuse | 03:26 |
| reisio | having a distro on it in the past doesn't mean it was 32gb | 03:26 |
| sponix | subsume: Have you tried a google search on nginx PPA ? | 03:26 |
| subsume | nvm i am done | 03:27 |

| subsume | i needed at least 1.3 | 03:27 |
| subsume | but i have 1.10 | 03:27 |
| subsume | 1.10 > 1.3 | 03:27 |
| matt|home | reisio - thanks for your patience <3 the problem seems to have been solved after i ran those commands, not entirely sure why | 03:27 |
| lickalott | there is a stamp on the front that shows "32GB" and ive used it in the past at it's full capacity | 03:27 |
| YankDownUnder | Delete the partition. Create a new partition table. Create a new partition. Check the size. | 03:27 |
| matt|home | lickalott - sounds like it got broke somehow, flash drives can die on you without any warning | 03:28 |

| torchinz | jmg, that's true | 04:22 |
| YankDownUnder | torchinz: More options for package management and installation... | 04:22 |
| tgm4883 | I've used the software center once and it worked fine for me | 04:22 |
| torchinz | tgm4883, maybe because i am dual booting with win 7? | 04:23 |
| jmg | anyway i see lots of documentation on how to enable secure boot but no way to disable it | 04:23 |
| jmg | it seems that wasnt a case that is supported? | 04:23 |
| tgm4883 | torchinz: not sure what that would have to do with software center | 04:23 |
| torchinz | I installed the 16.04 yesterday, and came upon a blank software center screen -_- | 04:24 |
| jmg | or is it just boot from usb, chroot, grub-install --uefi-secure-boot | 04:24 |
| YankDownUnder | The logic of creating a "safe boot" would go hand-in-hand with being able to "undo" the same. | 04:24 |

| aiena | Just wondering. I am creating a local web server for testing. I am in sort of a dilemma on how to fix apache permission denied errors. I know chmod 777 will work but it is the wrong way. I gain nothing by doing that. How do I seperate data from the web root and let apache process it. I have my files in the home directory. APache is configured to execute the code from a web root in the home dir. | 06:56 |
| Tin_man | i rely a lot on looking things up, and i usually find the answer to my problem, if given enough effort. | 06:56 |
| aiena | I read this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1225594/apache-13-permission-denied-in-users-home-directorybut still unclear | 06:57 |
| Tin_man | I'm from Kansas City, Missouri, but moved south to the country about 18 years ago little town in south east Kansas | 06:57 |
| Backwards | Nice to meet you Tin Man. :) | 06:57 |
| Tin_man | same | 06:57 |
| Backwards | Aiena Apache2 has a heirarchy to follow. | 06:58 |
| Backwards | You don't put files in the /home directory. | 06:58 |
| aiena | Backwards: Can you explain more. I am new to this apache thing. | 06:58 |
| aiena | Backwards: but then I need to be continuosly root to edit them | 06:59 |
| Tin_man | there is a whole course on Apache, It is a very in depth topic, and would take a bunch of time to even tap the beginning workings of it.. | 07:00 |
| Backwards | You put the files in /var/www/html/<sub-directories> | 07:00 |
| aiena | ok | 07:00 |
| plop_its_ellie | you can put the files whereever you want | 07:00 |
| plop_its_ellie | the webserver user just needs permission to access them | 07:00 |
| Backwards | Make sure there is an index.html to protect you from scanning. | 07:01 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: that is what I thought too. SO the user needs to be added to the www-data group so apache can write to a directory | 07:01 |
| aiena | I mean PHP sorry | 07:01 |
| aiena | also not sure how to keep data out of the web root so apache cant execute it | 07:02 |
| Tin_man | aiena, might try some links to help the process: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/misc/tutorials.html | 07:02 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, so if apache is running as www-data then the folder all the files are in must be owned by that user | 07:02 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: ah so owner needs to be www-data with chown | 07:03 |
| Backwards | I use pUTTY and WinSCP for remote headless work on my servers. They are free softwares for Windows and they work perfectly. | 07:03 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, yes | 07:03 |
| Bassem | Tin_man, will give it a try | 07:03 |
| aiena | now how do I allow another user to edit those files say my home user I login as for convinience | 07:03 |
| plop_its_ellie | why does Backwards need windows o.o | 07:04 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, the user you log in as? | 07:04 |
| Tin_man | ok, i'm outta here, good luck all, and have a good day/night/eve/morn | 07:04 |
| hilbilly | add your user name to the www-data group | 07:04 |
| Backwards | I have many OS Plop. I make all of my money on Windows Boxen. | 07:04 |
| plop_its_ellie | i normally keep the users seperate and edit them with sudo | 07:04 |
| Backwards | $1,000.00/customer for Data Recovery is not a bad days work. | 07:05 |
| plop_its_ellie | Backwards, what do you do? | 07:05 |
| plop_its_ellie | oh yea | 07:05 |
| plop_its_ellie | i forgot you were talking about that | 07:05 |
| plop_its_ellie | Backwards, for drives that are dead, not read? | 07:05 |
| Backwards | I do Forensic Data Recovery. | 07:05 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: so its best to su to www-data and edit the files or login as www-data on ubuntu to edit websites | 07:05 |
| Backwards | Drives that are dead I change the Data Control Board. | 07:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, you can just use sudo instead of su | 07:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | Backwards, cool! | 07:06 |
| Backwards | You can be root and sudo -i | 07:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | i assume linux would be the better platform for that sort of stuff tho | 07:06 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: hmm ok I'm confused | 07:06 |
| Backwards | Plop I use Debian for Data Recovery. You are correct. | 07:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, so example, $sudo nano /var/www/index.html | 07:07 |
| plop_its_ellie | Backwards, ah | 07:07 |
| Backwards | Most Data Recovery methods are run in Debian. | 07:07 |
| Backwards | When I use my Windows box, I reboot to a CD with my Debian software for the jobs. | 07:08 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: hmm or the graphica sudo variant for other editors | 07:08 |
| Backwards | Or just use another computer. I have about 20 of them here. | 07:08 |
| aiena | plop_its_ellie: what if I switch projects regularly say I have 2 projects and I switch between them what would be a good strategy symplinking to one web root ? | 07:09 |
| aiena | hmm actually I could create 2 sites in var/www but then switching needs modifying apache config each time I guess no workaround for that | 07:09 |
| Backwards | Data Recovery is a pains taking method and can take days. | 07:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | aiena, you can have for example /var/www/example.com and /var/www/example1.com /var/www/example2.com... | 07:11 |
| plop_its_ellie | you are not running it on a headless server??? | 07:11 |
| plop_its_ellie | i recommend running it on a headless server | 07:12 |
| Backwards | Plop that is just having two directories with an index.html and files to boot. | 07:12 |
| plop_its_ellie | no need for a gui, just do sudo nnao /var/www/.../index.html from the console | 07:12 |
| abrammichael | hey | 07:13 |
| pikou | hey | 07:13 |
| plop_its_ellie | oh you mean having 2 different configs for each site | 07:13 |
| Backwards | Plop don't forget that if you don't have a GUI to see the results of your work, you are in trouble. | 07:13 |
| plop_its_ellie | idk how apache does it but (i usually use nginx) | 07:13 |
| plop_its_ellie | Backwards, i was talking to aiena about the gui stuff | 07:14 |
| plop_its_ellie | sorry | 07:14 |
| plop_its_ellie | cuz it sounded like he/she was running their webserver on a full desktop | 07:14 |

| aiena | Backwards: Nto sure how to go. I think I will change ownership of the current projects working directory to www-data an open a gui text editor as root with graphiocal sudo and edit those files and test on localhost | 07:18 |
| aiena | would that be a fair solution ? | 07:18 |

| BlackDalek | ducasse, I don't think I can use any "regular" modem as I would only have USB ports available. No serial ports. | 08:04 |
| ducasse | BlackDalek: i doubt that would matter, they would still appear as serial modems - the usb connector is essentially a serial adapter. | 08:06 |

| Chin | Hi, I'm having some trouble booting my Ubuntu 14.04 server. Directly after the bios splash I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. Smashing the shift button does not open grub. It boot fined previously, only getting the problem after installing updates and rebooting. Any ideas? | 08:13 |
| ducasse | Chin: you should still be able to get the grub menu, try holding shift instead of spamming it. if that doesn't work, try escape. | 08:16 |
| Chin | ducasse: still the same - smashing, holding it down, either/both shift buttons. If I do it with my bootable USB in I get an error flashing up about unable to find a fallback.efi - might that be relevant? | 08:18 |
| Backwards | Chin check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Unable%20to%20change%20Screen%20resolution%20in%20Ubuntu | 08:19 |
| Backwards | Screen resolution is a big problem with people who come here. I have seen this many times. | 08:21 |
| OerHeks | Backwards, sure, but Chin has no resolution problem, but an efi boot problem | 08:22 |
| Backwards | Without knowing the specifications of the video card and the box it is difficult to make a suggestion. | 08:23 |
| OerHeks | it's a server man .. | 08:23 |
| Backwards | Same thing. | 08:24 |
| Backwards | Box ; Server ; Computer | 08:24 |
| ducasse | Backwards: no, this is probably not a resolution problem | 08:24 |
| Backwards | I have had this issue myself. I tried a different box and monitor and the parameters changed. A blinking cursor is indicative of that. | 08:25 |
| Chin | It's used for graphical stuff as well (doubles as a kodi TV), but I can't even get into grub, let alone boot the kernel | 08:26 |
| OerHeks | Chin, Could not open "\EFI\BOOT\fallback.efi" just wait a couple of seconds and the GRUB should show up ? | 08:27 |
| Backwards | Chin the link I showed you mentions that before you make any changes be sure to backup your system even if it means image your HD. | 08:28 |
| Backwards | The smallest change can be disaster. | 08:29 |
| Chin | OerHeks: Nothing shows up after waiting - the computer was sitting there all day at the blank screen while I was at work. That message only comes up on trying to boot the bootable USB, but only momentarily and then grub shows just fine and boots | 08:30 |
| Chin | Just doesn't work when booting the HD | 08:30 |
| Backwards | Chin, this may sound dumb but the screensaver maybe set to 0 seconds which creates a blank screen. I have seen that too. If you can use a rescue disk and check the screen settings that may help you. | 08:32 |
| akik | it was a wrong decision to hide the grub boot menu by default | 08:33 |
| akik | Chin: if you boot the live session, you can chroot into the installation and modify grub's settings | 08:34 |
| Backwards | Never hide a menu. You can always set it off or on later. | 08:34 |
| Backwards | They call it a NAG SCREEN or menu. | 08:34 |
| akik | Backwards: what does grub and nag screen have to do with each other? | 08:35 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest50012 | ||
| === Guest50012 is now known as matt_ | ||
| Chin | akik: I can get in there, but I'm not really sure where to start on fixing it | 08:38 |
| Backwards | Menus become a NAG if you don't want to see it. When I boot my Debian box the Grub Loader always shows up. I don't mind. To me it is a NAG but it is a lesson in patience and doing things the way the programmers set things in motion. | 08:38 |
| akik | Backwards: a nag screen to me is something that i *need* to do something with, for example answer a question again and again. grub menu has a timeout which you can set to 10 seconds and you don't need to do anything for linux to boot | 08:39 |
| Backwards | Chin, it may just be time to copy all of your important files and reinstall. Just copying all of your important stuff is the important thing right now. Slave the drive and you can check it too. | 08:40 |
| Backwards | Akik good point. Well taken. | 08:41 |

| blut | Hello. I am installing ubuntu and it tells me it cant install linux-generic, however the error is very strange. http://ix.io/12D8 | 08:56 |
| blut | Apparently it can't resolve de.archive.ubuntu.com, however a ping works alright | 08:56 |
| blut | Same error on 'apt update' | 08:57 |
| YankDownUnder | blut: Could be high traffic and time of day affecting the transfer. | 08:57 |
| Backwards | Blut are you running a 32 bit machine or 64 bit machine? | 08:57 |
| blut | Backwards: x86_64 | 08:57 |
| blut | YankDownUnder: I don't know. I had this issue on Friday before I left for the weekend. | 08:58 |
| Backwards | I keep on seeing in the post 64 AMD showing up. | 08:58 |
| Backwards | Do you have a 64 bit AMD box? | 08:59 |
| k1l_ | Backwards: the 64bit patent is from amd. but intel uses the same technology. that is why its called amd64. | 09:00 |
| YankDownUnder | In most instances, due to high traffic, THAT will be the error. You can always try to change the update sources to something different - if your machine is currently trying to hit the German servers, change it to the Russian servers or Japanese servers. | 09:00 |
| minimec | blut: Your archive mirror in Dresden is not reachable right now. Try later or change the mirror. | 09:00 |
| k1l_ | blut: using some proxy or vpn? | 09:00 |
| blut | minimec: Yeah I will try a different mirror | 09:00 |
| blut | k1l_: No proxy or vpn. | 09:00 |
| Backwards | Blut have you done a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade ? | 09:01 |
| blut | Backwards: This is during the installation, but in a chrooted console on /target 'apt update' gives the same error. | 09:02 |
| minimec | blut: Choose one of the mirrorlist. There are plenty in Germany... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 09:02 |
| Backwards | Blut did the install boot and open up? | 09:02 |
| blut | minimec: The institute I work at is literally right next to a data center that hosts a number of linux distros. I will use that one. | 09:03 |
| blut | minimec: I expected archive.ubuntu.com to resolv to the data center instead of dresden anyways | 09:03 |
| Backwards | Blut I think you may have to choose a different distro. | 09:03 |
| minimec | blut: Also the 'Dresden mirror' shows 'Last update unknown'... | 09:04 |
| blut | Backwards: The install started alright and all. | 09:04 |
| blut | let me try a different mirror | 09:04 |
| ducasse | Backwards: no, he just can't reach that particular mirror right now | 09:04 |
| Backwards | The mirror may be offline Ducasse. | 09:05 |
| ducasse | Backwards: that was sort of what i was saying... | 09:05 |
| k1l_ | could be a routing issue from your ISP | 09:05 |
| Backwards | K1l that is a good point. | 09:06 |

| Backwards | Some but probably lots of Service Providers use NXDOMAIN rerouting protocol. | 09:08 |
| YankDownUnder | Servers temporarily being "unavailable" is not an uncommon thing. Either patience, or merely changing the sources - is generally the easiest option. Patence being the easiest of all because it requires no expenditure of energy. | 09:09 |
| Backwards | YankDownUnder, you hit the nail on the head with the word: "patience" Not everyone has enough of it. | 09:10 |
| YankDownUnder | Patience and common sense are in limited supply. | 09:11 |
| Backwards | That was a good one. | 09:11 |
| Backwards | YankSownUnder, please put mine on a back order. :) | 09:12 |
| seventy | What is currently being recommended as THE LINUX LAPTOP? Are we still talking dualboot/VM macs? | 09:13 |
| Backwards | Perhaps a simple reboot or softboot may work. There may be a stack overflow issue. | 09:13 |
| YankDownUnder | The only thing that has changed in the past 26 years is line speed and connection. It's all the same otherwise. | 09:13 |
| Backwards | Seventy have you tried VBOX? | 09:13 |
| Backwards | YankDownUnder, good point. | 09:14 |
| Backwards | YankDownUnder, in all my years of Engineering and Design, it all comes down to basics. Know the basics and then you can advance to the other issues. | 09:15 |
| blut | seventy: what is the linux laptop? | 09:16 |
| Backwards | Blut have you fixed your computer issue? | 09:17 |
| === marshal0605 is now known as marshal0505 | ||
| blut | Backwards: don't know just yet. I just learned that the debian-installer is unwilling to continue an installation because /target/dev/null already exists ;) | 09:19 |
| Backwards | Ducasse, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings. | 09:19 |
| ducasse | Backwards: what? how? no. | 09:20 |
| Backwards | Good. | 09:20 |
| Backwards | Nice to meet you. | 09:20 |
| === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka | ||
| blut | Alright I just retryed, and I have the same issue with ftp5.gwdg.de | 09:26 |
| Backwards | Ducasse have you ever met Jarkko Oikarinen? | 09:27 |
| blut | so apparently it's not a server issue but something with apt | 09:27 |
| Backwards | I met him when he created the IRC. | 09:27 |
| k1l_ | Backwards: we focus on technical ubuntu support only in here. for chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic | 09:28 |
| blut | I mean, it's odd that ping works, but apt has resolution issues | 09:29 |
| Backwards | Blut my honest suggestion if you don't have any data on the hard drive to save just not only delete it but completely format it. If you don't format a drive residual data exists. | 09:29 |
| k1l_ | blut: do you use a specific mirror? usually it changes the servers from the loadbalancer | 09:29 |
| blut | Backwards: I was talking about the server issue. I format the disk. | 09:30 |
| Chin | Fixed it thanks to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 09:31 |
| blut | k1l_: I used de.archive.ubuntu.com, which resolved to the Technical University Dresden and when someone suggested server issue I switched to the data center which is 500m from here, ftp5.gwdg.de | 09:31 |
| Backwards | I use DOD Department of Defense Data Destruction and swipe the hard drive and delete all vestiges of any data and encrypt the destruction. I do this all of the time and it takes a bit of time but it works better than just re-installing a kernel. | 09:31 |
| Chin | Cheers for the advice | 09:31 |
| blut | Backwards: the hard drive really isn't the issue here | 09:32 |
| k1l_ | Backwards: that is not related to the issue the user got | 09:32 |
| Backwards | It is related because when you install over and over again the data is still on the disk and works against the new installation. I do this for a living. | 09:33 |
| blut | k1l_: I'm using a network installation and the base system is installed properly | 09:33 |
| k1l_ | Backwards: no it isnt. | 09:33 |
| blut | That sounds like a 1990 FS issue | 09:33 |
| Backwards | Data destruction over a network connection is very difficult. | 09:33 |
| blut | Backwards: what? | 09:34 |
| ducasse | Backwards: what _are_ you on about? please stick to the issue. | 09:34 |
| Backwards | I am on the issue. | 09:34 |
| Backwards | Blut has an install issue. | 09:34 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest58321 | ||
| blut | You are correct. I have an aptiude resolution issue. | 09:35 |
| Backwards | OK figure it out by yourself. | 09:35 |
| Apachez | so ehm wassap with startup disk creator in 16.04? | 09:37 |
| Apachez | seems to have changed how the usb is created | 09:37 |
| Apachez | and now some laptops refuse to boot from the usb drive :S | 09:37 |
| blut | Ok, so any help would really be appreciated. apt refuses to resolve the server, while ping with the same hostname works perfectly fine. It is not a temporary server issue; I tried with different mirrors. http://ix.io/12D8 | 09:38 |
| blut | ping me | 09:38 |
| hateball | blut: have you tried forcing IPv4? | 09:40 |
| blut | hateball: No, but I'm open to trying if you can tell me what you mean by that | 09:41 |
| hateball | blut: sudo apt-get update -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true | 09:41 |
| hateball | altho it does resolve properly it seems, hmm | 09:42 |
| hateball | I didnt read your paste | 09:42 |
| blut | hateball: Still the same issue anyways. | 09:42 |
| blut | For me the surprising thing is that ping resolves, but apt doesn't | 09:42 |
| blut | unfortunately I don't know any of apt's internal workings | 09:43 |
| blut | Seeing how I'm installing 16.04 and all, could I somehow use snappy for the installation? | 09:44 |
| ducasse | blut: not for the base, no. | 09:44 |
| blut | ducasse: before the linux-generic install, the base installs correctly. | 09:45 |

| StatelessCat | Hey | 10:01 |
| StatelessCat | Why the temperature of my CPU is available randomly on /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon2/temp1_input or /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input ? This is very annoying to specify a file path for a desktop widget to show the temperature. | 10:06 |
| StatelessCat | Is there a solution to make this path permanent ? | 10:06 |
| EriC^^ | StatelessCat: what possibilities does it have? | 10:07 |
| StatelessCat | I noticed only two: /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/hwmon/hwmon{1,2}/temp1_input | 10:07 |
| StatelessCat | EriC^^: Your nick make me feel happy to read :) | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | :) | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | try using that in the path | 10:08 |
| EriC^^ | if it does shell stuff before getting it | 10:09 |
| StatelessCat | Pattern like that '{1,2}' are not acceptable in i3status configuration. | 10:10 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 10:10 |
| EriC^^ | any regexp stuff? can you call a shell from it? | 10:10 |
| StatelessCat | a workaround could be to write a script that is loop reading the value of both, get the good one and copy it to a file or a pipe un /tmp... and cron it... | 10:11 |
| StatelessCat | and specify the input value as my /tmp file... | 10:11 |
| StatelessCat | EriC^^: not any regex seems accepted by i3sttaus config | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | yeah that sounds good | 10:12 |
| StatelessCat | EriC^^: i'm checking the documentation of i3status | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | maybe let it do a sym link in /tmp/temp1 to the good one | 10:12 |
| StatelessCat | EriC^^: better :) | 10:12 |
| StatelessCat | symlink or hard link ? | 10:12 |
| EriC^^ | symlink | 10:13 |
| EriC^^ | i think that works, let me try | 10:13 |
| StatelessCat | nothign mentionned regexes on the i3status documentation | 10:13 |
| EriC^^ | yup it works | 10:13 |
| StatelessCat | yes :) | 10:15 |
| EriC^^ | maybe add in ~/.profile ln -s /sys/devices/platform/coretemp.[0-9]/hwmon/hwmon[0-9]/temp1_input /tmp/temp1 | 10:16 |
| EriC^^ | quick and easy :D | 10:17 |
| StatelessCat | OMG it works ? | 10:17 |
| EriC^^ | i think so | 10:18 |
| StatelessCat | I was writing something with 'if [ -e ""]' | 10:18 |
| StatelessCat | nice :) | 10:18 |
| EriC^^ | :) | 10:19 |
| blut | EriC^^: But what is the return if /tmp/temp1 already exists; E.g. on a new login? | 10:19 |
| StatelessCat | blut: -f :) | 10:20 |
| blut | ^^ | 10:20 |
| EriC^^ | good point | 10:20 |
| StatelessCat | '-f', '777', '2> /dev/null', 'cat /dev/urandom' solves almost everything ^^ | 10:21 |
| EriC^^ | xD | 10:21 |
| StatelessCat | blut: seriously, what is the problem ? | 10:21 |
| Triffid_Hunter | StatelessCat: presumably a race condition while identifying available hardware monitor devices during startup | 10:22 |
| dennisj_ | hi, i just installed xenial as a VM on a centos 7 kvm host and while i can ssh into the VM fine the graphical console only shows a black screen. | 10:23 |
| EriC^^ | it would give an error that the symlink exists, if he logged into tty1 for instance | 10:23 |
| dennisj_ | when i boot the VM with the video driver "vga" i only get a black screen, when i use "cirrus" i get a purple screen saying "Ubuntu 16.04" followed by a black screen | 10:24 |
| EriC^^ | right blut ? | 10:25 |
| dennisj_ | any ideas what the problem could be? | 10:25 |
| StatelessCat | Triffid_Hunter: I see no race condition here. Just a error if the symlink already exist. | 10:25 |
| blut | EriC^^, StatelessCat: what are you hammering me about an issue? I just pointed out, you should add -sf instead of -s for the symlink. | 10:25 |
| Triffid_Hunter | StatelessCat: nono the race is why it sometimes changes name after reboot | 10:26 |
| EriC^^ | blut: ok, no need to be rude, just confirming the error it would cause. cheers | 10:26 |
| Triffid_Hunter | StatelessCat: you may be able to find a more persistent symlink to it via /sys/bus/... somewhere | 10:26 |
| blut | EriC^^: Alright. I didn't mean to offend you. | 10:26 |
| EriC^^ | blut: no worries | 10:26 |
| StatelessCat | blut: same as EriC^^, I just want to be sure what you had in mind when saying this (: | 10:27 |
| hgutmann | Hello. | 10:27 |
| hgutmann | I'm currently trying to reset network interface names in 1604, the hardware of the system changed and now I get enp2s0 instead of enp0s0. | 10:28 |
| StatelessCat | Triffid_Hunter: ok. | 10:28 |
| hgutmann | Does anyone know where the mac-addresses <-> ifnames are stored? | 10:28 |
| hgutmann | There is nothing related in /etc/udev/rules.d | 10:28 |
| hgutmann | well /etc/systemd/network is empty. | 10:29 |
| StatelessCat | thanks * | 10:29 |
| akik | hgutmann: that directory is the correct one | 10:31 |
| StatelessCat | blut: sorry for being unclear in my last answer. And thank you for tips> | 10:32 |
| hgutmann | akik, there are no files in that directory. | 10:32 |
| hgutmann | directories. | 10:32 |
| akik | hgutmann: doesn't matter. they'll be used when you create one | 10:32 |
| OerHeks | /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules | 10:32 |
| akik | hgutmann: here's an example: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:0e:c6:88:19:3b", NAME="eth1" | 10:33 |
| hgutmann | akik, I don't want to create new hw-address rules there since the image will be depoloyed on many systems. | 10:33 |
| akik | hgutmann: ok.. ? | 10:33 |
| hgutmann | On many hardware-identical systems. Still I'd really prefere to have names of enp0,1,2 | 10:33 |
| hgutmann | instead of system1 enp0,1,2 system2 enp2,3,4 | 10:34 |
| pawandubey | \leave | 10:34 |
| akik | hgutmann: you can go back to the previous style of interface naming with kernel parameter net.ifnames=0 | 10:34 |
| hgutmann | akik, could be a solution. But still it has to be saved somehere. | 10:34 |
| akik | hgutmann: well that's the directory | 10:34 |
| hgutmann | akik, I just moved the disk to the new system. On the old hardware I had enp0,1,2 now it is renamed to enp3,4,5 | 10:35 |
| hgutmann | Therefore I assume that the hwaddress are stored somehwere. | 10:36 |
| akik | hgutmann: oh | 10:36 |
| akik | hgutmann: i'm so tired of these systems changing from release to release | 10:36 |
| hgutmann | but /etc/udev/rules.d is empty. same as /etc/systemd/network | 10:36 |
| Triffid_Hunter | hgutmann: probably in /var then | 10:36 |
| Triffid_Hunter | hgutmann: sudo grep -R enp0 /var, if no results try again with /etc | 10:36 |
| hgutmann | Triffid_Hunter, tried to grep around there, but so far no luck. | 10:36 |
| akik | hgutmann: how about /lib/udev/rules.d ? | 10:38 |
| Triffid_Hunter | yikes, it shouldn't be writing into /lib that casually :/ | 10:38 |
| akik | there shouldn't be configuration files in /lib | 10:38 |
| akik | but that's how it is nowadays with systemd too | 10:39 |
| FMan | thank you to all | 10:40 |
| dennisj_ | just found the solution to my blank screen problem: in /etc/default/grub change 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"' to 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""' | 10:41 |
| theptr | Maybe stupid question but it it possible apt-get install only get's arm64 packages from the ppa ? | 10:45 |
| k1l_ | theptr: apt grabs the proper packages for you automatically. but the ppa needs to build arm packages. | 10:47 |
| theptr | k1l_, okay because when i do like apt-get install firefox it always takes the wrong one | 10:47 |
| k1l_ | (which is not standard for PPAs to build arm packages) | 10:47 |
| theptr | k1l_, okay yeah because i use a Pine64 as a daily secondairy computer | 10:48 |
| theptr | k1l_, So if i understand you correct the apt-get command searches for the package and if there is nog arm64 i takes just amd64 ? | 10:50 |
| k1l_ | theptr: no. if there are no proper architecture packages it will not grab anything. | 10:50 |
| theptr | k1l_, but now it grabs amd64 everytime ... | 10:51 |
| hateball | sure you havent enabled multiarch ? | 10:51 |
| k1l_ | are you sure not to have added the amd64 architecture yourself? | 10:51 |
| theptr | It's just the stock pine64 os based on longsleep ubuntu | 10:51 |
| theptr | but its always when im trying to install firefox | 10:52 |
| hateball | theptr: cat /var/lib/dpkg/arch | 10:52 |
| k1l_ | i guess you need to ask the pine guys what they changed on the original ubuntu | 10:52 |

| abhvl | hi | 10:54 |
| abhvl | it should not matter if i write rails_env=dev && rake command or rake command && rails_env=dev right? or does that matter? | 10:55 |
| abhvl | it just sets the env var for whole os? | 10:55 |
| akik | abhvl: no and no | 10:55 |
| abhvl | ?? | 10:56 |
| akik | abhvl: && executes the following command if the first succeeded | 10:56 |
| abhvl | akik: thats fine. thats not the question. | 10:56 |
| akik | abhvl: and that just sets a shell variable, not for whole os | 10:56 |
| akik | it's local to that shell | 10:57 |
| abhvl | akik: thats fine. but if in same shell on first line i do rails_env=dev and enter and on second line rake command then this and my first example both are basically same right? | 10:57 |
| theptr | hateball, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19068184/ i also have to say that i have been trying to install 47.0 manual by dpkg -i | 10:57 |
| akik | abhvl: it's not the same if you use && on one line | 10:58 |
| abhvl | akik: both are just setting a env var ? can you please provide some link to doc? | 10:59 |
| k1l_ | theptr: are you confused by arm64 and amd64? | 10:59 |
| akik | abhvl: if you run two commands on separate lines, there is not checking whether the first succeeded | 10:59 |
| theptr | k1l_, little bit it's because i had some errors that is was a amd64 package | 11:00 |
| abhvl | akik: yeah. but checking if first succedded or not is not point of discussion. | 11:00 |
| k1l_ | theptr: dont install amd64 packages on arm. they wont work. | 11:00 |
| k1l_ | theptr: then show the errors in a pastebin | 11:00 |
| theptr | k1l_, yes i know that | 11:00 |
| akik | abhvl: you lost me somewhere. that's what you asked | 11:00 |
| theptr | k1l_, it's just the apt-get install does something strange | 11:00 |
| k1l_ | theptr: show the output | 11:01 |
| abhvl | akik: no thats not what i asked. the example confused you. | 11:01 |
| theptr | k1l_, it installs just okay en when i they to run the package i get an error wrong architecture | 11:01 |
| ajay__ | hii | 11:02 |
| abhvl | akik: i did rails_env=dev enter rake command. someone tells me i should not do this. he says i should do rails_env=dev && rake command. do you think there is any difference between the two regarding rails_env part? not the rake command part. | 11:02 |
| theptr | k1l_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19068520/ | 11:02 |
| abhvl | akik: he says i should write it one one line using && . i asked whats the difference. he dont have answer. | 11:02 |
| k1l_ | theptr: is that a mad64 package? | 11:03 |
| k1l_ | *amd64 | 11:03 |
| theptr | k1l_, i think so i just do a apt-get install firefox | 11:03 |
| akik | abhvl: actually what you should run is "rails_env=dev rake command" | 11:03 |
| hateball | abhvl: if you're just setting an env you dont need even need to press enter, you can just "blah=blah command" | 11:03 |
| akik | abhvl: that makes it so that the variable is available to the rake command | 11:04 |
| confident | Hello fellow Ubuntuers | 11:04 |
| k1l_ | theptr: no. you said you isntalled it manually with dpkg loading that .deb package | 11:04 |
| abhvl | hateball: i can do anything thats not question. questios is, are those two things differenc or same? | 11:04 |
| akik | abhvl: i answered to your && question up there | 11:04 |
| theptr | k1l_, the manually package is = firefox_47.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_arm64.deb | 11:05 |
| abhvl | akik: ^ | 11:05 |
| abhvl | yes | 11:05 |
| theptr | k1l_, but that also doesn't work | 11:05 |
| abhvl | akik: but even if i executed them on two different lines still the env var is avilable to the rake command no? | 11:05 |
| abhvl | akik: both commands are in same shell. only lines different | 11:05 |
| akik | abhvl: yes but it's called shell variable if you don't use export | 11:06 |
| abhvl | akik: i dont need export. | 11:06 |
| theptr | k1l_, when i do a apt-get install firefox i get an architecture error when i install it manually it starts en then closes out of it's self | 11:06 |
| k1l_ | theptr: "sudo apt purge firefox" then do a clean "sudo apt install firefox "again | 11:06 |
| theptr | k1l_, okay going to give that a try | 11:07 |

| theptr | tatertots, now i get lots of errors but firefox starts , your my hero of today | 11:14 |
| abhvl | akik: my discussion is only about shell vars. i understand that they will remain temporar and to this shell only. | 11:15 |
| akik | abhvl: actually what you should run is "rails_env=dev rake command" | 11:15 |
| abhvl | akik: ok. but "if" i ran rails env=dev press enter rake command does it make difference to rake? | 11:15 |
| tatertots | so you typed 'firefox' in terminal and pressed ENTER, and you got errors in terminal....let's see those errors | 11:15 |
| johnny_ | maybe try sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:15 |
| abhvl | akik: y or n? | 11:15 |

| theptr | k1l_, hateball, also thankyou for your time | 11:16 |
| akik | abhvl: in the case 2: i tested, bash was not aware of the shell variable created in the previous shell | 11:16 |
| Tameiki | Hello all | 11:17 |
| abhvl | akik: it is aware. see https://gist.github.com/abhijitnavale/6c05ba509b2ecc9a8d07952a880469ce | 11:17 |
| tatertots | thanks for showing us the errors when simply typing 'firefox' in termnial | 11:18 |
| abhvl | akik: that means my pressing enter and doing rake command on another line should not make any difference? | 11:18 |
| tatertots | it appears from the errors that '(firefox:2422): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.' | 11:18 |
| tatertots | and | 11:18 |
| tatertots | Using the fallback 'C' locale. | 11:18 |
| Tameiki | I have a client.conf in my /etc/openvpn folder, and after boot my laptop auto connect to him. It is possible to disable this feature (autoconnect) and connect manually ? (without move the client.conf) | 11:18 |
| akik | abhvl: i already told you i don't know but i also told you how you should run the rake command | 11:18 |
| abhvl | :-( | 11:19 |

| abhvl | you dont know = you dont want to answer. you fear. | 11:19 |
| theptr | tatertots, also i have to say firefox only works as root | 11:19 |
| tatertots | theptr......First make sure your library language is installed | 11:19 |
| theptr | tatertots, how do i do this ( i really don't know) | 11:19 |
| ducasse | abhvl: why don't you ask in #bash? | 11:19 |
| akik | abhvl: what are you on about now? why would i lie to you? | 11:19 |
| abhvl | ducasse: ok | 11:20 |
| abhvl | akik: nothing. thanks for trying to help. | 11:20 |
| akik | abhvl: you don't want to receive instructions, do you | 11:20 |
| abhvl | akik: right. because i was not looking for what "should be" done. | 11:21 |
| abhvl | akik: but even in that case, thanks for pointing out that i dont have to use && even on same line. thats really nice. | 11:21 |
| theptr | tatertots, i found some guide on ask ubuntu | 11:22 |
| theptr | tatertots, but the error stays ... | 11:22 |
| ducasse | Tameiki: is this on 16.04? | 11:23 |
| tatertots | theptr run this command and pastbin the output please 'ls -ld /var/log/installer' | 11:23 |
| Tameiki | ducasse: Yes, 16.04 | 11:23 |
| ducasse | Tameiki: i'm not sure, but you might get away with 'sudo systemctl disable openvpn.service' to prevent openvpn from starting at boot. | 11:24 |
| tatertots | theptr so you found 'some guide' on ask ubuntu and the error stays? I'm almost afraid to ask what you did. Just reply with the out put of the command please | 11:24 |
| theptr | tatertots, don't be afraid what could go wrong :) | 11:26 |
| boriseto | Why did a device appear in disks in ubuntu 16.04 called Loop Device (can see it's connected to snaps)? | 11:26 |
| tatertots | theptr run this command and pastbin the output please 'ls -ld /var/log/installer' | 11:26 |
| ducasse | Tameiki: there is supposed to be an individual service unit for each openvpn config, but i'm not sure if those are generated at boot or static. | 11:26 |
| k1l_ | theptr: remove the .mozilla/firefox account in your home | 11:26 |

| theptr | k1l_, yeah maybe ... :) i always keep smyling because i only can learn from this stuff | 11:27 |
| ducasse | Tameiki: not sure if it will work, if it doesn't, try to disable openvpn-whatever.service | 11:27 |
| Tameiki | ducasse: Ok | 11:28 |
| tatertots | that doesn't tell me how long and since when you've been at it...i'm sure someone will help you but make your life easier and reinstall already | 11:28 |

| zai | hi guys. $SOMETHING is messing with my volume settings on different occasions (e.g. when I plug in headphones, receive emails, etc.). dmesg and dbus-monitor didn't help me pinpoint what it is. any idea how to debug? | 11:28 |
| theptr | tatertots, from what i find on the www this error is in the basic clean install already so | 11:29 |
| theptr | tatertots, clean install wont help i think | 11:29 |

| tatertots | my gut tells me it's not fresh at all and you've had plenty of time to make a mess of things | 11:30 |
| theptr | tatertots, no thats not what i was saying , you get me wrong | 11:31 |
| theptr | tatertots, the locale error is already in the clean image it's not just running a cd to get it installed you have to grab the image from the pine guys and run phoenixcard | 11:32 |
| ducasse | theptr: just a suggestion, but maybe the people in #ubuntu-arm will know more about your system? | 11:32 |
| theptr | ducasse, okay going to give it a try | 11:33 |
| tatertots | omg now i find out this guy isn't using a standard desktop install...not only that..he's using a arm7 based system lol ....good times | 11:34 |

| theptr | tatertots, i backed it back in the days on Kickstarter | 11:39 |
| theptr | tatertots, so before i was running a dell touch laptop with ubuntu 14.04 never had problems so i was thinking the pine64 is smaller but i had not a good start with it for now | 11:40 |
| tatertots | ah ...rasp-pi caught my eye years ago for a few minutes ......these devices sure seem to be growing in popularity...i'm kinda curious what the heck it is that most of these folk plan on doing with such devices......actually i take that back...not very curious at all really lol | 11:41 |
| ducasse | theptr: their custom os does not have the best reputation... | 11:42 |
| theptr | ducasse, is there a better soluttion or do i better start using my dell again ? | 11:43 |

| theptr | OerHeks, thats the image im running now ... | 11:44 |
| theptr | ducasse, i have a rpi3 but it's just a little to slow with ubuntu mate | 11:44 |
| ducasse | theptr: then you better ask in #ubuntu-arm, or stay on x86 | 11:45 |
| theptr | ducasse, yeah i already asked there okay going back to my intel :) | 11:45 |
| theptr | ducasse, the only thing is i really wanted to know what cause the errors just for learning stuff | 11:47 |
| ducasse | theptr: as i said, everytime i hear about the pine64 it's because of problems with their os images, so i stay away from them. | 11:48 |
| theptr | ducasse, okay | 11:49 |
| ducasse | theptr: if the rpi3 runs slow with mate you could just try a window manager | 11:50 |
| theptr | ducasse, going to give it a shot .. are you always on the ubuntu channel ? so i can ask stuff about it ? it seems you know a lot of arm :) | 11:51 |

| hateball | !lts | 12:36 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04) | 12:36 |
| hateball | Aliekezhi: That would be 14.04 | 12:36 |
| hateball | 12.04 goes EOL next year | 12:36 |
| Aliekezhi | hateball, does it mean on 15.x there will not be no more updates after a certain time ? | 12:37 |
| lyze | Aliekezhi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases look here, there are all versions with release date and end of life date (supported) listed | 12:38 |
| OerHeks | 15.10 goes EOL 28th this month | 12:38 |
| OerHeks | only 14.04 is a suitable answer to your question | 12:38 |
| Aliekezhi | OerHeks, lyze, hateball thx, I'll go for 14.04 then :) | 12:38 |

| fpqc | hey, any idea why rxvt's text is rendering nice and smooth but it's rendering like ugly garbage in tilda? | 12:47 |
| fpqc | also gnome-terminal | 12:48 |
| === fginther` is now known as fginther | ||
| ducasse | fpqc: both of those use the vte library for terminal rendering, urxvt has its own code | 12:51 |
| fpqc | ducasse so how can I get libvte to render my fonts right? | 12:51 |
| fpqc | like, the difference is astonishing | 12:52 |
| OerHeks | Perhaps you need to install rxvt-unicode ? | 12:52 |
| ducasse | fpqc: no clue, i only use urxvt. | 12:52 |
| fpqc | rxvt-unicode is what I have installed, OerHeks | 12:52 |
| fpqc | rxvt-unicode-256color it works amazing | 12:52 |
| fpqc | what doesn't work amazing is gnome-terminal and tilda | 12:52 |
| fpqc | they are basically hideous | 12:53 |
| fpqc | the main problem I think must be related to the fact that I'm not running on a full ubuntu system | 12:53 |
| fpqc | and so whatever automatically configures fonts and such like is not fully functional | 12:53 |
| ducasse | fpqc: try adding this to ~/.Xresources - http://paste.ubuntu.com/19075172/ | 12:54 |
| fpqc | ducasse I have that already | 12:54 |
| fpqc | that's why urxvt looks so cood | 12:54 |
| fpqc | *good | 12:54 |
| fpqc | let me repeat, what's looking awful is the stuff covered by fontconfig | 12:55 |
| === lounge-user96 is now known as zenati | ||
| ducasse | fpqc: are they also set for gtk? | 12:56 |
| fpqc | nope I have nothing set for gtk | 12:56 |

| fpqc | gtk fonts are not looking too hot either, but I'm only running terminals mainly | 12:56 |
| fpqc | ducasse, will that set the gtk stuff? | 12:56 |
| ducasse | fpqc: yes | 12:57 |
| fpqc | ducasse hmm also I deleted my fonts.conf that I dled earlier | 12:58 |
| ducasse | fpqc: shall i pastebin mine? | 13:02 |
| fpqc | ducasse your font.conf? | 13:02 |
| ducasse | fpqc: yes. | 13:03 |
| fpqc | sure thanks | 13:04 |
| fpqc | and where should I install it? | 13:04 |
| ducasse | fpqc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ - ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf | 13:05 |
| ducasse | fpqc: sorry, a sec | 13:05 |
| ducasse | fpqc: http://termbin.com/dyh0 - pastebinit messed up. | 13:06 |
| fpqc | yeah, can't tell if it's any better directly | 13:09 |
| fpqc | I think it looks a lot better | 13:09 |
| ducasse | fpqc: try a few different fonts and sizes to test. | 13:10 |
| fpqc | oh wow it looks a lot better | 13:10 |
| fpqc | I jacked up monospace to size 14 | 13:10 |
| ducasse | fpqc: \o/ | 13:10 |
| fpqc | it's not like falling apart and horrible | 13:10 |
| fpqc | yeah whatever the problem was was what the problem was lol | 13:10 |
| ducasse | fpqc: i'm honestly a bit confused by linux font rendering... | 13:10 |
| fpqc | ducasse see the thing is, I'm using the ubuntu on windows thing, which doesn't have official support for X | 13:11 |
| fpqc | and dbus we only have working with a hack | 13:11 |
| fpqc | but I really wanted to get tilda working for IRC purposes lol | 13:11 |
| fpqc | actually it's not looking much better lol | 13:14 |
| fpqc | at least with inconsolata | 13:14 |
| ducasse | fpqc: yeah, well, i'm not surprised if that messes things up... | 13:14 |
| fpqc | ducasse actually urxvt works like a dream | 13:14 |
| fpqc | whatever, I'll get used to the ugly font on tilda | 13:15 |
| fpqc | I mean, ideally MS will come out with an actually working terminal emulator for windows eventually | 13:16 |
| Qommand0r | haha, why would it actually work? | 13:16 |

| === AvadaKedavra is now known as alazare619 | ||
| Qommand0r | MS always leaves lots of room for improvement | 13:17 |
| Qommand0r | so to say | 13:17 |
| fpqc | conhost is the Windows Console Host | 13:17 |
| fpqc | it does not support Xterm escape sequences | 13:17 |
| fpqc | input or output | 13:17 |
| fpqc | currently the bash.exe wrapper for the bash pico process runs as a Windows console application, so its direct i/o go to conhost.exe | 13:18 |
| === Quatroking_ is now known as Quatroking | ||
| fpqc | If you have an X server running, you can run bash.exe to start a terminal in X and then use that to bootstrap all sorts of nice and functional things | 13:18 |
| fpqc | but the entry point is ugly and broken | 13:18 |
| fpqc | bc conhost basically | 13:19 |
| fpqc | idk whatever, I have irc working in tilda, as ugly as it looks, and I can open up urxvtc if I need a terminal for work so all is well | 13:21 |
| === primoz is now known as primozk | ||
| akik | fpqc: how about conemu in windows? | 13:24 |
| fpqc | akik uses conhost | 13:25 |
| fpqc | it can only be improved when MS improves conhost | 13:25 |
| fpqc | I already asked maximus5 | 13:25 |
| fpqc | what that means is no mouse support for weechat, no 256color support, etc | 13:26 |
| fpqc | what you can do is run PuTTY in ConEMU as a GUI application, then connect that to sshd running on the windows subsystem for linux | 13:26 |
| fpqc | but child gui applications in ConEMU are pretty buggy, and it's a lot more satisfying to be able to have a terminal and ssh if you want to | 13:27 |
| fpqc | I even have set up (using a cool program called cbwin by a guy named xilun on github) the ability to make it so clicking a link in weechat in tilda will pipe the url to my windows browser | 13:28 |
| akik | fpqc: putty in windows is able to accept mouse movements and clicks in elinks | 13:28 |
| fpqc | yep | 13:28 |
| fpqc | PuTTY can | 13:28 |
| fpqc | but PuTTY can't be quakelike | 13:29 |
| fpqc | also setting up sshd to run on windows requires a pretty annoying hack | 13:30 |
| ducasse | could we please get back to ubuntu issues? | 13:30 |
| fpqc | ducasse yeah I came for ubuntu font stuff | 13:30 |
| ducasse | ...on windows... | 13:30 |
| fpqc | yeah but windows isn't involved with this part to be frank | 13:31 |

| janust | wwwi: i don't know if kate would keep the file open while you edit it... probably not | 13:46 |
| ducasse | janust: the address comes before the host name in /etc/hosts | 13:46 |
| janust | ducasse: oh sorry. i did in fact do this correctly, i just used the wrong syntax here... so that was not the problem | 13:47 |
| ducasse | wwwi: the file would remain in memory, but you would need to save to another location | 13:47 |
| janust | wwwi: i am pretty sure the file would still be visible on the screen | 13:47 |
| ideasman42 | popey, \o (dont know if you mind me asking). but any updates wrt OpenToonz snappy package? Or some repo I can use to check its progress? - We had a few people asking for packages now. | 13:47 |
| wwwi | I see | 13:48 |
| wwwi | thank you both | 13:48 |
| janust | how can i test the parsing of /etc/hosts? | 13:48 |
| capum321 | ducasse: the file is 0 bytes ? | 13:49 |
| ducasse | janust: aiui, nslookup will ask the nameservers directly, not consult hosts | 13:50 |
| janust | so i need to use getent? | 13:50 |
| wwwi | sometimes I get a message like this: system problem detected, program crashed. is this normal? I used to get it relatively often, but now it is rarer | 13:50 |
| ducasse | capum321: then do-release-upgrade either redirects or starts a new shell. | 13:50 |
| ducasse | janust: probably something like that | 13:51 |
| ducasse | wwwi: look in /var/crash for any files to see what crashed | 13:51 |
| wwwi | ducasse: ok | 13:51 |
| akik | janust: if you use the dnsmasq dns server (127.0.1.1) you'll also get entries from /etc/hosts | 13:52 |
| janust | ok thanks ducasse, getent seems to work | 13:52 |
| capum321 | ducasse: so it should be `sudo script -c do-release-upgrade file.log` | 13:52 |
| janust | akik: ah... but dnsmasq will be replaced by systemd, i prefer sticking to the stock config... | 13:52 |
| wwwi | ducasse: it's empty | 13:53 |
| akik | janust: dnsmasq will be replaced. of course | 13:53 |
| ducasse | capum321: if do-release-upgrade redirects the output that won't help, i think | 13:53 |
| v1s | I running ubuntu 16.04 server I have a usb2eth adapter connected to wan and then I have the built in eth and wifi for local network. I am using hostapd / bridge-utils / dnsmasq. The wan is working fine but only one system connecting to the wifi is pingable and I see other sytems in the dhcp client list but cant reach any of them any ideas ? can post any conf to check | 13:53 |
| KHendrik | has anyone here successfully used a rtl8192su wifi dongle in ubuntu? | 13:53 |
| akik | janust: can you link to that dnsmasq news? | 13:53 |
| Hulio | hi guys, is there sftp setting that when login , it will go to user's home folder? | 13:53 |
| Hulio | or redirect to specific folder? | 13:54 |
| ducasse | wwwi: in that case all is good | 13:54 |
| capum321 | ducasse: how would manage then ? | 13:55 |

| ducasse | capum321: ok, then - i don't know any other ways. | 13:58 |
| capum321 | ducasse, I don't know precisely how to describe what a shell is, but if it is like a new window that opens to execute part of the command, then yes, this happens with do-release-upgrade | 13:58 |
| hateball | kwek: you probably have some PPAs active for 14.10 | 13:58 |
| capum321 | ducasse: you don't know what it does internally? what you mean ? | 13:58 |
| kwek | hateball: so manually remove them from sources.d? | 13:59 |
| hateball | kwek: yes, at least comment them out or change from... whatever 14.10s codename was, to xenial | 13:59 |

| ducasse | Guest22568: '/usr/bin/setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' | 14:06 |
| capum321 | ducasse, if you looked and finds it runs in a new shell... so what would I do to redirects output to file ? | 14:06 |
| Guest22568 | so pretty much my only choice is to find a different distro that does work? | 14:06 |

| sveinse | Is dynamic multi screen setup on Ubuntu still dodgy? I'm having huge problems getting my third monitor up my laptop running 16.04 (Gnome shell). X seems to be crashing, as I get the login window once more | 14:16 |
| sveinse | But other times it does work | 14:16 |
| tatertots | I use dual monitor, never tried a third | 14:17 |
| ducasse | sveinse: works like a charm on my setup, but that is a desktop with i3 | 14:17 |
| tatertots | works like a charm for me | 14:17 |
| akik | Guest13284: i remember something that it was xorg's dontzap option | 14:17 |
| quackgyver | what does sudo checkinstall do? i was told to run it as the last step in installing Python 2.7 | 14:18 |
| sveinse | If I go into settings -> display, I find all three displays. However when I enable the last display, which is off, and select "Secondary display", one of two things might happen: | 14:18 |
| ducasse | akik: you're right, but you can also enable it with setxkbmap while the server is running. | 14:18 |
| akik | ducasse: i was thinking of a permanent solution for him | 14:19 |
| ducasse | akik: ah, ok :) | 14:19 |
| sveinse | a) it crashes when I press apply and I get gdm all over again or b) The displays are numbered 1 - 2 - 2, so the window with the actual screen setting in gone in the middle it seems | 14:19 |
| sveinse | This is a laptop, so I'm on the move and I need it to work with the display combinations I use in the various work locations | 14:20 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: it will build and install a package, but you should really upgrade to a newer ubuntu if you want newer python. | 14:20 |
| quackgyver | ducasse: i accidentally said "n" to something that it recomended i say yes to | 14:21 |
| quackgyver | then it got stuck on "copying files to the temporary directory" | 14:21 |
| tatertots | which mobile gpu is in your laptop sveinse? | 14:21 |
| quackgyver | so i aborted, ran it again | 14:21 |
| quackgyver | and now its not asking me q's anymore | 14:21 |
| quackgyver | it just automatically goes to the "copying files" step again and nothing happens | 14:21 |
| quackgyver | im so immensely confused | 14:21 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: as i said, upgrade ubuntu rather than manually upgrading python | 14:22 |
| quackgyver | I'm not sure I understand | 14:22 |
| quackgyver | My Ubuntu is up to date | 14:22 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: what ubuntu version are you running? | 14:22 |
| quackgyver | whichever the latest lts is | 14:22 |
| tatertots | quackgyver are you running ubuntu 16.04? yes/no? | 14:22 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: then just install python from the repos | 14:23 |
| quackgyver | 2.7 is available there? | 14:23 |
| sveinse | tatertots: i7-3820qm and nvidia Quadro K2000M | 14:23 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: python2.7 is the packagename | 14:24 |
| sveinse | I think I'm running nouveau right now | 14:24 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: (or just 'python', which depends on 2.7) | 14:24 |
| quackgyver | Alright, thank you. | 14:25 |
| quackgyver | Will what I've done so far interfere with what you're suggesting somehow? | 14:25 |
| sveinse | out of box ubuntu | 14:25 |
| quackgyver | Since I ran some kinda setup and cancelled it halfway through | 14:25 |
| tatertots | Yo sveinse http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-quadro-2000-us.html | 14:25 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: not if the package didn't install. | 14:25 |
| quackgyver | well it mightve half-installed? | 14:25 |
| tatertots | 3 ( 2 out of 3 active at a time ) | 14:26 |
| seig | hey | 14:26 |
| ducasse | quackgyver: i doubt it, checkinstall builds the package and installs it at the end. | 14:26 |
| sveinse | tatertots: afaik, you can't use the dedicated nvidia drivers on a mobile chip, can you? At least on windows you can't | 14:26 |
| seig | hey brothers | 14:26 |

| ducasse | capum321: ah, now i understand - you are upgrading a vps? then do-release-upgrade spawns a screen session, that is why you couldn't redirect the output. | 14:37 |
| sveinse | ooi, those of you running laptops with Ubuntu 16.04, is dynamic display changes working? In the sense that it remembers a display combination an applies the last used configuration for that combination? Like win and mac does? | 14:38 |
| capum321 | ducasse, a vps ? well it isn't virtual ?! it is on a netbook beside me | 14:39 |

| dethredic | Hi, I'm currently running Ubuntu 15.10, and I have freetype 2.5.2 installed. I would like to downgrade freetype to 2.4.8 (which is in the Precsie repo). What is the best way to go about doing this? I have a lot of packages which depend on freetype (although they should be fine with the older version). | 15:05 |
| BirdPerson | dethredic, any reason you're running an older version and downgrading packages? | 15:06 |
| dethredic | I need to for a project I'm working on. The newer freetype donesn't always render the same which is breaking tests | 15:07 |
| ducasse | dethredic: you know 15.10 goes eol soon, right? | 15:10 |
| tamarind | OerHeks: oh sorry then | 15:11 |
| tamarind | i checked AES only | 15:11 |
| ducasse | tamarind: use aes, tkip is deprecated and no longer considered secure | 15:13 |
| tamarind | ducasse: i used AES only but i suspect that it might be thereason for not being able to connect | 15:14 |
| tamarind | how do i check whether my network card supports AES ? | 15:14 |
| ducasse | tamarind: i've never come across that, but i guess it's possible... don't know how to check, though. | 15:15 |
| tatertots | tamarind are you connnected via wired or have connectivity at all on the system in question? | 15:17 |

| tamarind | under line 44 to 50 there is no AES | 15:26 |
| tamarind | this means that the reason why i am not able to connect is due to the mode setting with AES right ? | 15:27 |
| tatertots | cool | 15:27 |
| tatertots | tamarind that should be enough info on your wireless adapter ;) | 15:27 |

| tatertots | what type of access point/router do you have tamarind?...are you not running it in 'mixed mode' for greatest device compatibility? | 15:28 |

| tamarind | emetsipe: you are too old for that, now go and take your pills | 15:31 |
| emetsipe | but i find all spiders threatening... | 15:31 |
| emetsipe | tamarind, how do u know how old i am? and i already took my pills...getting ready for my nap :) | 15:32 |
| tamarind | al2o3-cr: but between line 44 to 50 there is no AES mentioned ! CCMP 00-0f0ac:4 means AES ? | 15:32 |
| al2o3-cr | tamarind: correct | 15:32 |
| tamarind | tatertots: spider killing is ok :D | 15:33 |
| tatertots | well tamarind would you like to change you settings to allow your wlan adapter to connect? | 15:33 |

| emetsipe | tamarind: you got me... | 15:34 |
| emetsipe | :) | 15:34 |
| tatertots | tamarind I think that's a ADSL modem...unless it had integrated router you must have a wireless router connected eh? | 15:35 |
| tamarind | tatertots: yes for sure. Let me check about the mixed mode now. thanks | 15:35 |
| tamarind | tatertots: it has a integrated router | 15:35 |

| tatertots | i'm guessing your issue is you can't connect eh? | 15:46 |
| tatertots | just a wild guess | 15:46 |
| tamarind | tatertots: when you say mixed mode - what does it do ? allows multiple encryption to support wide range of devices ? | 15:47 |

| tatertots | tamarind it lets you connect with adapters that are either a/b/g/n/ac ect | 15:51 |
| RickyB98 | is it possible to make a directory accessible to the owner only, not even to root? maybe encrypting it or something, though i want to be able to execute processes from that directory | 15:52 |
| tamarind | tatertots: i selected b/g/n mode | 15:52 |
| tamarind | earlier* | 15:52 |
| tatertots | but it sounds like from what you describe you just simply forgot the password/passphrase | 15:52 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: root has access to change anything. | 15:52 |
| yw | ducasse - interesting, I have the same on my other system and can connect with no issues, are you suggesting to try IPv6 address? | 15:52 |
| tamarind | tatertots: i use the same password in my mobile and it connects fine | 15:52 |

| RickyB98 | i mean, tell me why.. | 15:54 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: Not to my knowledge. You can hide things, sure, but anyone with knowledge and root can access it. If you encrypt a directory, they will have read access while it is decrypted. | 15:54 |
| ducasse | RickyB98: you can't hide anything from root, essentially | 15:54 |
| davis | im using 16.04 desktop. it appears that a local dns server is setup, but I don't see a /etc/named.conf file. Where is the dns server ips stored? If use the gui I see the entries for dns server, is the only place to change it? | 15:54 |
| RickyB98 | okay gotcha | 15:54 |
| teward | davis: 'local nameserver' as in bind9 / named is installed and running? | 15:55 |
| teward | davis: /etc/bind/... for the bind9 configs. | 15:55 |
| teward | if it's on a Desktop though it's probably via dnsmasq and not bind9 | 15:55 |
| teward | and IDK where those ones are | 15:55 |
| ducasse | davis: try /etc/resolvconf/* and /etc/resolv.conf | 15:56 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: What is your end goal? | 15:56 |
| RickyB98 | okay this is the situation i'm trying to get around: someone asked me to do some stuff on their server (namely installing and administrating a minecraft server), and that's gonna be paid, though he's not paying in advance, because he wants to see job done... but at the same time, i don't want him to get the files and everything and just run away.. | 15:56 |
| RickyB98 | yeah i was about to explain :P | 15:56 |
| davis | teward: /etc/bind does not exist. /etc/resolv.conf only has localhost entry. | 15:56 |
| tatertots | tamarind so it's still not connecting after confirming you were using the correct credentials? | 15:56 |
| RickyB98 | (btw, since "someone" is an actual username here, better clarify it's not him who asked haha) | 15:56 |
| teward | davis: then it's likely dnsmasq. Does `pidof dnsmasq` return anything on the command line? Does `pidof named`? | 15:57 |
| tamarind | tatertots: yes | 15:57 |
| ducasse | RickyB98: set it up on your own server, transfer it across when he pays. | 15:57 |
| davis | pidof dnsmaasq is empty | 15:57 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: If you are using a script or something, you could use something like shc to hide the script and give it an expiration date. | 15:57 |
| RickyB98 | ducasse: i already have that set up, but my server isn't as powerful as his | 15:58 |
| RickyB98 | rypervenche: is that an "apparent" hiding? | 15:58 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: Or add a script that will delete everything the next day. | 15:58 |
| RickyB98 | they can delete the script haha | 15:58 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: Well, you could make it a binary so he can't see what it does, and then name it something. Or simply add it to the top of the normal running script. | 15:59 |
| davis | teward: ps auxw | grep dnsmasq shows that its running networkmanager | 15:59 |
| rypervenche | RickyB98: You could make it an at job and don't save your history. There are many ways. | 15:59 |
| tatertots | tamarind does it give any errors ? or does it just keep asking for the password over and over? | 16:00 |

| eelstrebor | i'm wondering if i can get some help with building & installing a kernel from source. it built and installed without errors but when i boot to the new kernel the links for vmlinuz and initrd.img points to the previous kernel instead of the new kernel. here is how i built & installed the new kernel: http://pastebin.com/BRsyzc6v | 16:01 |

| bjrohan | Help. After my upgrade, when I start programs I get: Configuration file not writable. Please contact your system administrator. | 16:12 |
| bjrohan | Thing is, I did the upgrade several days ago, and everything was working fine until about an hour ago | 16:13 |
| eelstrebor | why are there are all these different ways to build a kernel? and why are some people giving me grief over wanting to use the latest stable kernel from kernel.org? | 16:16 |
| rypervenche | eelstrebor: Because you're using Ubuntu, and it's a distro that's meant to be more stable. If you want to be using the lastest versions of software, then Ubuntu may not be the distro for you. | 16:16 |
| Powerless | Does anyone know how do i or print the number ofmy HP printer printed pages | 16:18 |
| Powerless | ? | 16:18 |
| tatertots | eelstrebor: i would be curious if you're doing it out of necessity or are you just chasing something for the sake of chasing something | 16:18 |
| tatertots | Powerless are you using hplip? | 16:18 |
| Powerless | tatertots, yes | 16:19 |
| tatertots | is this a laser or inkjet Powerless? | 16:19 |
| Powerless | tatertots, laser | 16:19 |
| tatertots | if you print a printer info/config page it should give you page count of the drum/fuser ect of the laser printer | 16:20 |
| tatertots | this can usually be done using the buttons on the printer and from the printers menu | 16:20 |
| Powerless | tatertots, how do i print it? with windows there was buttom :P | 16:21 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: what printer? | 16:22 |
| Powerless | tgm4883, HP laserjet p1005 | 16:23 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: yuck, you might be able to get there from the hplip application | 16:26 |
| Powerless | tgm4883, tried cups but failed :( | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: not cups. the hplip application | 16:26 |
| tatertots | open the hplip app...you can manage your hp printer from there | 16:28 |
| Powerless | tatertots, trying to find it there | 16:28 |
| Powerless | cant find it anywhere | 16:30 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: "sudo apt install hplip-gui" | 16:32 |
| Powerless | tgm4883, i do have hplip, what i cant find is where to see the printed pages number | 16:33 |

| nico78 | Hello all :) how to flush dns cache in 16.04 please ? i dont find it | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: try 'hp-levels' and 'hp-info' | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: FWIW, i'm just looking at possibilities here http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/tech_docs/man_pages/index.html | 16:35 |
| tgm4883 | Powerless: 'hp-toolbox' might show it as well | 16:36 |
| nico78 | should i use systemd ? | 16:36 |
| nico78 | sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean doesn't exist anymore | 16:37 |
| Powerless | tgm4883, it opens the hplip..i will try again later..need to leave now..thanks for the help | 16:37 |
| Powerless | tatertots, thanks for the help man | 16:37 |
| nico78 | and /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart too | 16:38 |
| genii | nico78: Instead of trying to manually run old sysvinit scripts directly, use instead: sudo service <servicename> start/stop/status/etcetera | 16:39 |
| nico78 | genii: thxs but service nscd restart doesnt exist anymore | 16:40 |
| tgm4883 | nico78: dns-clean does | 16:40 |
| k1l_ | since 15.04 its systemd and that uses systemctl instead of service | 16:40 |
| nico78 | tgm4883: not in 16.04 !! | 16:40 |
| genii | nico78: Use sudo service --status-all to get a complete list of services | 16:41 |
| tgm4883 | nico78: funny, it's here on mine | 16:41 |
| nico78 | ??? actually i have a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04 | 16:41 |
| tgm4883 | nico78: as previously mentioned, don't use /etc/init.d/ since that is the wrong location | 16:42 |
| tgm4883 | k1l_: service still works | 16:42 |
| nico78 | ok so : sudo service --status-all helped me a little, i fond resolvconf | 16:43 |
| nico78 | but im not sure it clean the cache | 16:43 |
| nico78 | maybe systemd-networkd-resolvconf-update | 16:45 |
| nico78 | but this update the resolvers but dont flush the cache | 16:45 |

| ikonia | vacho: where did you get php | 19:18 |
| cwolford | anyone have experience installing a canon pixma mp series multifunction? i have the printer working over wifi, but the scanner portion isn't working. the closest i got to getting it to work was sane scanner seeing it on usb and launching but then disappearing until i turned off the scanner; once i did that, the sane scanner program came back on screen. but then, of course, i couldn't scan anything. | 19:18 |
| ikonia | pilne: it's called "windows" | 19:18 |

| vacho | ikonia: I initiated an AMI on AWS, and then ran that command. | 19:19 |
| vacho | ikonia: Ubuntu 16.04 from AWS marketplace | 19:20 |
| ikonia | vacho: so whereever that came from (seems odd if thats ubuntu default - I don't think it is) you're running php in threaded mode, but the version/build of php you are using is not compiled for that | 19:20 |

| minimec | Bassem: I don't know why you did, what you did, but... when you get that non working x11 state, again <ctrl><<alt>F1 to get a console, login, then 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade', maybe 'sudo apt-get -f install' | 19:33 |
| vacho | ikonia: any thoughts? | 19:33 |
| cwolford | minimec, i think he deleted his nvidia drivers. | 19:33 |
| tatertots | goddard you want to either use the local 'route' or the remote 'route'. you need to determine your default 'route' and use it | 19:33 |

| vacho | ikonia: that worked!! | 19:34 |

| nicomachus | MonkeyDust: I didn't think so, but when I run just 'do-release-upgrade' it says 'no new release foudn' | 19:34 |

| Bassem | jhutchins: yes some text then blank screen | 19:50 |
| Bassem | minimec: i'll try analg cable and see wait | 19:50 |
| jhutchins | The cool thing about text is that you can read what it says... | 19:51 |
| cwolford | tatertots, i've done all the basics, but the scanner refuses to work properly. | 19:51 |
| minimec | Bassem: Well.. The console should work anyways, but indeed you could plug to the internal GPU, bypassing the nvidia card or change the plug on the nvidia card. | 19:51 |
| cwolford | jhutchins i have the printer portion of my canon pixma mp560 working over wifi, but the scanner portion isn't working. the closest i got to getting it to work was sane scanner seeing it on usb and launching but then disappearing until i turned off the scanner; once i did that, the sane scanner program came back on screen. but then, of course, i couldn't scan anything. | 19:51 |
| jhutchins | cwolford: A printer is not a scanner. | 19:51 |
| cwolford | jhutchins it's a multifunction printer. the printer portion is working, but i can't get the scanner portion to work. | 19:52 |

| jhutchins | cwolford: You may be able to find some troubleshooting info through sane. | 19:52 |
| cwolford | jhutchins, i've tried that. i've been going in circles for the past two days. | 19:52 |
| jhutchins | cwolford: sane's pretty much the solution, figuring out tweaks to the sane config files is tough (but rewarding). | 19:53 |
| skinux | What is the name of the package for Apache2 Rewrite mod? | 19:53 |
| jq | skinux: Should be installed by default | 19:53 |
| nacc_ | vacho: i asked you to *enable* prefork, fwiw | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | cwolford: Can you scan while directly connected via USB? | 19:54 |
| jq | You just need to do sudo a2enmod rewrite | 19:54 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: Remind me what release you have .. and maybe see what results when booting to a terminal drom the grub boot menu ?? | 19:54 |
| Bassem | Bashing-om: 14.04 lts | 19:54 |
| nacc_ | vacho: sorry, had stepped away | 19:54 |
| cwolford | Jordan_U nope. when i plug it in, the sane scanner app sees it and starts but then disappears. if i turn the scanner off, then the sane image app reappears like it is connected, but i can't do any scanning because the scanner is then off. | 19:55 |
| tatertots | he used the term or phrase 'scanner doesn't work properly'...makes me think it is actually functional but he doesn't like how the scan appears visually | 19:55 |
| cwolford | Jordan_U if i turn the scanner back on, the sane scanner app says it fails to connect because the scanner is busy. | 19:55 |
| tatertots | ok now we're getting some details out of him | 19:55 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok got the screen on analog cable | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | cwolford: Are you using Simple Scan, Xsane, or some other scanning app? | 19:56 |
| Bassem | minimec: are you there | 19:57 |
| skinux | jq: Well, an OS software I downloaded says it's not enabled or not supported | 19:57 |
| skinux | Or..do I just need to enable it? | 19:58 |
| Bassem | minimec: i see now the recovery menu when i attach the analog cable | 19:58 |
| tatertots | yo cwolford https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ScanningHowTo | 19:58 |
| skinux | Nah..trying to enable, I do see it's already installed and enabled. | 19:58 |
| jq | skinux: That's what I said, just open terminal and do "sudo a2enmod rewrite" | 19:58 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: Try: boot to grub, 'e' key for edit mode -> boot parameters screen ; Line starting with linux containing " quiet splash "; replace these terms with 'text' - without the quotes .. key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process to TTY1 . Can you log in here ?// " < Bassem> minimec: ok got the screen on analog cable" . good deal . | 19:58 |
| minimec | Bassem: Cool. Well if we tried to get a graphical environment now? >> 'resume normal boot' maaybe the nouveau driver doesn't support 'hdmi' | 19:58 |
| skinux | Okay..so the thing I downloaded doesn't work right. | 19:58 |
| skinux | Thanks | 19:59 |
| tatertots | you might be pissing in the wind | 19:59 |
| cwolford | I tried simple scan, which always failed to connect. in installed sane, sane-utils, and xsane. i tried using the sane scanning app (xsane or not, i'm not sure off the top of my head), and i've tried gimp2.8--all with no luck. | 19:59 |
| cwolford | tatertots, been there, done that, didn't work. | 19:59 |
| minimec | Bassem: the 'recovery screen'? Drop to 'root' then or 'netroot' if you have taht. | 20:00 |

| ubuntu-mate | just to summarize my last question. is there a safe way to boot to a second hard drive without interefering the first one? | 20:14 |
| ubuntu-mate | safe way to install a bootable second hard drive i meant. | 20:15 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok it done the upgrade now what to do | 20:15 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu-mate: Is this a UEFI or BIOS based machine? Do you plan to boot the removable drive from other machines? | 20:16 |
| chrisss123456 | anyone use avidemux on ubuntu 16.04? | 20:16 |
| minimec | Bassem: Hmm... Verify that 'ubuntu desktop' is installed. 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'. | 20:16 |
| k1l_ | ubuntu-mate: the issue here is the user accidently doing stuff on the wrong hdd. but yes. you can do that | 20:16 |
| ubuntu-mate | Jordan_U, BIOS, and maybe yes. | 20:16 |
| minimec | Bassem: Also verify that you are using lightdm as login manager. 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' | 20:17 |
| ubuntu-mate | but in the install screen I go to >something else...< and then select the sdc as boot loader target and select sdc partition, sda should remain intact by the installation process, right? | 20:18 |
| Bashing-om | ubuntu-mate: Somelike like my system : http://paste.ubuntu.com/19109974/; then yeah doable ! | 20:18 |
| === zen is now known as Guest63854 | ||
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: What's your actual question? | 20:19 |
| ubuntu-mate | I read that an option was to remove or disable the ``local`` HD and then try to install from a flash disk | 20:19 |
| chrisss123456 | jhutchins: it's actually pretty much it. i used to have it in 15.10 but now it doesnt work, and is gone. | 20:19 |
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: "doesn't work" and "gone" seem mutually exclusive. | 20:20 |
| Jordan_U | ubuntu-mate: If you're sure that it's BIOS based, then yes all that you need to do is ensure that grub's boot sector is installed to the removable drive's MBR (and of course don't tell the Ubuntu installer to create or modify partitions on other drives). | 20:20 |
| nacc_ | chrisss123456: http://askubuntu.com/questions/763846/why-has-avidemux-been-removed-from-ubuntu-16-04s-repository ? | 20:20 |
| chrisss123456 | jhutchins: fair enough, sorry. i mean i can't install it via sudo apt-get (there's no package). i think nacc_ has replied with a potential solution. thanks! :) | 20:21 |
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: Check backports. It apparently had some problems building with the new release. | 20:21 |
| jhutchins | nacc_: Heh. | 20:21 |

| chrisss123456 | nacc_: oh? is that including from getdeb? | 20:22 |
| jhutchins | Looks like there might be a ppa for it. | 20:22 |
| === Codmadnesspro is now known as Aprexer | ||
| nacc_ | chrisss123456: not sure; i'm just looking at the current status (it's only in yakkety-proposed because it's not building there, afaict). As jhutchins mentioned, i think PPAs are your only option right now | 20:22 |
| jhutchins | Yeah, I'm definitely behind the curvbe here, just ignore me. | 20:23 |
| chrisss123456 | nacc_: jhutchins. i'll try the getdeb route and report what i find | 20:23 |
| Bassem | minimec: it still flashing at installing new version of config file /etc/init.d/bluetooth.. | 20:23 |
| ubuntu-mate | Jordan_U, should I mark sdc1 as ``/`` to indicate that will be the install location? | 20:24 |
| minimec | Bassem: After what command? | 20:24 |
| chrisss123456 | nacc_: mmh do you know of anyone using getdeb? trying to install the package manager called getdeb (as the instructions on the website) and the ubuntu softwrae centre says it's broken | 20:24 |
| nacc_ | chrisss123456: no idea, sorry; i would probably just try the PPA (I think there's one mentioned in that link and there's at least one other i found in askubuntu reponses) | 20:24 |

| chrisss123456 | nacc_: jhutchins: alright well i'm not sure if it's a good idea to trust them or not... a bit of a noob | 20:25 |
| minimec | Bassem: Don't know why it takes so long but let it finish... | 20:25 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok | 20:26 |
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: You might also look at audacity. | 20:26 |
| chrisss123456 | jhutchins: audacity is basically what i'm looking for, but for video files... avidemux was the best i found :/ | 20:27 |
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: Ah, that's right. | 20:28 |
| jhutchins | chrisss123456: I was just thinking of it for audio earlier. | 20:28 |
| Bassem | minimec: the dash is flashing at the start of the line | 20:28 |
| Bassem | minimec: i can type but it dos not do any thing | 20:28 |
| chrisss123456 | jhutchins: it's a shame. avidemux was lightweight and simple, and allowed for basic manipulations like frame by frame viewing, and external plugins. | 20:29 |

| anabain | In order to solve some video card issues on 16.04, I've been told to remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon and use xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu instead. dpkg -r xserver-xorg-video-radeon does not work because xserver-xorg-video-ati depends on it, and I've also been told not to remove the ati package. What can I do, then? | 20:36 |
| minimec | Bassem: hmmm... I don't know whether we should interrupt apt-get right now, but it seems stucked somehow. what does the 'top' command give you? | 20:36 |
| Bassem | minimec: e: could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock | 20:36 |
| cecja | anabain: what were your initial troubles? | 20:36 |
| minimec | Bassem: apt-get is using it at the moment... | 20:36 |
| Jordan_U | anabain: Who told you to do this? I would expect that it would be easier to specify the driver via /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and I would also expect for amdgpu to be used preferentially where it supports your graphics hardware). | 20:37 |
| Bassem | minimec: e: could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: resource temporary unavilable) | 20:37 |
| rhagu | Hi I created a bash script: http://pastebin.com/hDvHkwbG to check all video files in a folder for errors. I would like to alter it and move all files I do net get an stderr or stdout from to a new folder, how can I do that? | 20:37 |
| minimec | Bassem: Do you have enough space on that partition? I see no reason, why 'apt-get' might hang during installation of a bluetooth config file. | 20:38 |
| minimec | Bassem: type 'free' | 20:38 |
| Bassem | minimec: plenty of space 100 GB | 20:38 |
| minimec | Bassem: Ok. | 20:38 |
| anabain | refreshing issues, cecja, on kubuntu vsync compositor. Jordan_U, I also thought that, it seems strange that upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04 did not get the best suitable driver... | 20:38 |
| Bassem | what space do you want | 20:39 |
| minimec | Bassem: So if you switch back to console F1, apt-get is still hanging? | 20:39 |
| cecja | anabain: well with amd nothing really is expected. | 20:39 |
| Bassem | minimec: how to switch | 20:39 |
| minimec | Bassem: ctrl+alt+f1 ;) | 20:40 |
| anabain | cecja, a workaround is to change rendering engine, anything other than openGL 2.0 works well, at least for non-3d stuff (which I won't be using, btw) | 20:40 |
| Bassem | minimec: same flashing dash | 20:40 |
| Jordan_U | anabain: Please pasetebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and your /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one, which you probably don't). | 20:41 |
| cecja | anabain: the problem is Xorg 1.18 is not compatible with the binary blob from amd... and the opensource driver is a bit buggy to say the least | 20:41 |
| minimec | Bassem: Ok. switch back to F2 and do 'pidof apt-get'. Do you get a process number? Then do 'top | grep apt-get'. Does it do something? | 20:42 |
| Bassem | minimec: 10702 | 20:43 |
| cecja | anabain: I had some success on my server by using http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Beta-Driver-for-Vulkan-Release-Notes.aspx the vulkan beta blob ... it worked with my non pro 260 | 20:43 |

| Jordan_U | anabain: I'm having trouble figuring out how to match lspci output to support or lack therof from amdput, and I need to leave. Hopefully someone can help with that and if your card is supported by amdgpu then you *might* want to try blacklisting the radeon kernel module so that it doesn't load at boot, but that could also lead to a failure to load X or possibly lead to a failure to boot entirely... | 20:58 |
| minimec | Bassem: Yes. You will get that low graphics mode again.... | 20:58 |

| superman_ | Hello Friends - I am a newbie Pi user, purchased my Pi 3 device a few days ago. I have been having difficulty setting up the wifi. When I enter my wep password into the field. Nothing happens. Also Please note, when I hover the mouse over the wifi icon - it says "wlan0: not associated". Any help would be greatly appreciated. | 21:08 |
| Bassem | minimec: now what to do | 21:08 |
| minimec | Bassem: So run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 21:08 |
| MonkeyDust | superman_ Pi has its own channels, try #ubuntu-arm or #raspberrypi | 21:09 |
| superman_ | Thanks MonkeyDust | 21:09 |
| Dat | is there away to convert mkv files into avi's? | 21:12 |
| Bassem | minimec: it stoped at setting up bluez 5.23-2+b1 | 21:12 |
| Dat | ffmpeg doesn't seem to be avail in 14.04 | 21:12 |
| Bassem | minimec: flashing dash at that line again | 21:12 |
| rypervenche | Dat: You can use libav to do the same thing. | 21:15 |
| Bassem | minimec: what to do | 21:16 |
| minimec | Bassem: Oh boy. We are in a 'running circle'. I have no clue, why that bluez package doesn't install. We will have to 'pkill -9 -f apt-get' again... Open a console ctrl+alt+f2 and kill the process. | 21:17 |
| minimec | Bassem: Gimme me a cigarette pause of 5 minutes... I will be back. | 21:18 |
| TheNH813 | So, what command do I use to update alternatives to set a version of Java I put in /usr/local/oracle-java-8u91 | 21:21 |
| TheNH813 | As the default version of Java | 21:22 |
| TheNH813 | Or should I just delete all the java things in /usr/bina nd manually simlink it | 21:22 |
| TheNH813 | Because I have no idea how to use the update-alternatives thing | 21:22 |
| TheNH813 | And no manual makes ANY sense | 21:23 |
| sponix | TheNH813: There is an easy way to do it.. Give me one second to pull the Link.... | 21:23 |
| TheNH813 | Thanks. I'l wait | 21:23 |
| sponix | TheNH813: --> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html | 21:24 |
| TheNH813 | Will read that | 21:25 |
| minimec | Bassem: ok. I am back. | 21:25 |
| Bassem | minimec: wb | 21:25 |
| minimec | Bassem: You will have to 'pkill -9 -f dpkg' as we have no apt-get process running.... | 21:25 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok | 21:26 |
| Bassem | minimec: how can i show you what i get on my screen | 21:26 |
| Bassem | minimec: its too much to type | 21:26 |
| TheNH813 | sponix: Thanks for that article. It's installing and should work perfectly. PPAs are so nice to have. :D | 21:27 |
| sponix | TheNH813: Yeah.. I use that PPA for Java8 to support "Minecraft" for my Kids :P | 21:27 |
| minimec | Bassem: Try with "| pastebinit" after the command. I se no other solution | 21:28 |
| TheNH813 | Same purpose. XD | 21:28 |
| TheNH813 | And a few web applications | 21:28 |
| TheNH813 | And Runescape. Otherwise, I have no use for Java. XDDD | 21:28 |
| Bassem | minimec: can't use it with the upgrade command...i get some error when i use it | 21:28 |

| TheNH813 | Pretty nice wallpaper. | 21:29 |
| minimec | Bassem: Did you kill the dpkg process? | 21:29 |
| Bassem | minimec: yes | 21:29 |
| minimec | Bassem: Ok. I would remove that 'bluez' package now. 'sudo dpkg -r bluez', hoping that we can get a clean package status. | 21:30 |

| Bassem | minimec: dependency problem preven removal of bluez | 21:32 |
| minimec | Bassem: 'sudo apt-get remove bluez'? | 21:33 |
| Guest82659 | sponix my english is very bad .. :( Can you explain your question? | 21:33 |
| TheNH813 | prod_: Yeah I just went nad used a script from the Webupd8 PPA. It automatically installs java. I decided to just remove the folder I put in /usr/local and just let the script put it where it wants to. Thanks for that anyway, I will remember that if for soem reason this method fails. | 21:33 |
| sponix | Guest82659: Are you using Ubuntu Linux ? | 21:34 |
| Guest82659 | Yes, i use (X)ubuntu 16.4 | 21:34 |
| TheNH813 | Xubuntu looks quite simple and clean.. | 21:35 |
| TheNH813 | I definitely prefer it to Unity, but that search feature and binding the Windows key to the menu is just too usefull. | 21:35 |
| Guest82659 | And its very fast. :) | 21:35 |
| TheNH813 | Yup | 21:35 |
| Bassem | minimec: same thing at removing bluez 5.23-2+b1 | 21:36 |
| Guest82659 | I hate unity. | 21:36 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah, Unity sucks memory like no tomorrow and it does make things lag a bit. There's a few reasons I like it, but I might install another enviroment and set it as default | 21:37 |
| minimec | Bassem: Boy... We try with force... 'sudo dpkg -rf bluez' | 21:37 |
| TheNH813 | Guest82659: The memory is no problem for me but Compiz does crash on occasion. May just switch to XFCE. It's a single command to apt-get away. | 21:37 |
| TheNH813 | :o | 21:37 |
| sponix | TheNH813: I'm glad Ubuntu went with Unity be default.. If they didn't Linux Mint wouldn't be so popular :) | 21:38 |
| Bassem | minimec: dpkg error conflictingn actions -f --field and -r remove | 21:39 |
| prod_ | TheNH813: if your system has multiple versions of java installed then you can force the system to choose the version of java you want. | 21:39 |
| prod_ | update-alternatives --config java | 21:39 |
| TheNH813 | Yeah, what I was wondering before was how to register a custom java version with update-alternatives | 21:39 |
| TheNH813 | That I just extracted from a .tar.gz | 21:39 |
| sponix | prod_: The article I posted already covers that.. Think I put out the link while you were busy getting kicked :) | 21:39 |
| TheNH813 | But that's long over as I used a PPA | 21:40 |
| Guest82659 | Oh, and the icons from my desktop: http://numixproject.org | 21:40 |
| TheNH813 | Will keep it in mind if I need multiple versions | 21:40 |
| TheNH813 | Guest82659: Now that's interesting | 21:40 |
| prod_ | sponix: thanks for the info | 21:41 |
| sponix | prod_: --> http://www.webupd8.org/2012/09/install-oracle-java-8-in-ubuntu-via-ppa.html | 21:41 |
| Guest82659 | Its the "Numix Circle" Pack. | 21:41 |
| sponix | PPA saves the Day | 21:41 |
| minimec | Bassem: Oh boy... 'sudo dpkg --purge --force-all bluez' | 21:42 |
| Guest82659 | is it a good idea to lern python? | 21:42 |
| TheNH813 | Yes | 21:42 |
| TheNH813 | Python is quite usefull | 21:42 |
| Guest82659 | for application development? | 21:43 |
| TheNH813 | Well, Blender uses a lot of Python for background stuff. | 21:43 |
| Bassem | minimec: dpkf database is locked by another processor | 21:43 |
| Guest82659 | Oh nice. | 21:43 |
| TheNH813 | Guest82659: I'm taking a liking to the Numix Shine icons. Might just have to give those a try. | 21:43 |
| TurboKraken | How would you mount a .img? | 21:44 |
| TheNH813 | What format? Floppy or CD/DVD? | 21:44 |
| TheNH813 | (There's a big differernce) | 21:44 |
| nomic | is there no ubuntu 16.04 "alternative2 | 21:44 |
| nomic | = headless | 21:45 |
| nomic | command line | 21:45 |
| TurboKraken | Its an SDcard.img for android studio. | 21:45 |
| woot-0854 | Bassem: dpkg? | 21:45 |
| TheNH813 | TurboKraken, then it's a complete filesystem in a image | 21:45 |
| TheNH813 | What filesystem does Android use? | 21:45 |
| TheNH813 | EXT4? | 21:45 |
| TheNH813 | F2FS? | 21:45 |
| TheNH813 | Mount the file like you would a HDD. | 21:46 |
| sponix | nomic: the Ubuntu 16.04 Server Edition Works | 21:46 |
| nomic | there used to be command line | 21:46 |
| Bassem | woot-0854: dpkg? unknown command | 21:46 |
| nomic | alternative install | 21:46 |
| minimec | Bassem: Ok. That's a hard one, but we don't give up. We reboot and try to purge that 'bluez' package with 'sudo dpkg --purge --force-all bluez'. So first 'sudo reboot', the go to console F1 and try to remove the package with '--force-all' | 21:46 |
| nomic | is it gone | 21:46 |
| TurboKraken | TheNH813: It doesn't disclose what format or let me change the format. | 21:46 |
| TheNH813 | Likely EXT4 then. It's similar to a virtual machine hdd. There's a filesystem inside the file that gets flashed to the device | 21:47 |
| woot-0854 | Bassem: which Distribution comes without dpkg? | 21:47 |
| TheNH813 | Turbokraken: You'd mount it like "mount /path/to/file.img -t ext4 /path/to/mount" | 21:47 |
| minimec | Bassem: You that I think I started to use ubuntu using the first ever release. Before (and still) I use(d) Debian. And yet... what we senow never happened to me... | 21:47 |
| TheNH813 | Turbokraken: But it may need additional options if there's data before the partition. | 21:48 |
| Bassem | minimec: :) im a lucky guy i guess | 21:48 |
| TheNH813 | Turbokraken: Or they could be YAFFS images, which is simialr to squashfs. | 21:49 |

| TheNH813 | Guest82659: Pretty clean and simple looking. Seems to be good for what it is (listing contact info, etc) | 21:50 |
| TheNH813 | (PS: Just a sidenote, don't mention too much stuff like that here, it could be considered "off topic" | 21:51 |
| HappySomethingSo | does anyone know why this could be? transmission says the port is open | 21:51 |
| TheNH813 | Check your firewall | 21:51 |
| TheNH813 | On the router | 21:51 |
| TheNH813 | To make sure it isn't blocking p2p | 21:51 |
| HappySomethingSo | TheNH813: ok I'll try that | 21:52 |
| TheNH813 | Some ISPs also throttle or block p2p traffic, but that's not too likely the case. | 21:52 |
| TheNH813 | I'd say it's a firewall problem. Could possibly be a firewall problem on your PC also, but you said the port was opened. | 21:53 |

| TheNH813 | One second. Let me get a link. | 22:11 |

| gnudoge | Bassem: and did you try running pgrep -u root dpkg ? | 22:14 |
| minimec | Bassem: I am out of ideas. I would personnaly reboot one again, maybe remove all packages in /var/apt/archives and also everything in '/var/lib/apt/lists/'. then start over again with sudo apt-get update.... | 22:14 |

| Bassem | gnudoge: paste.ubuntu.com/19119866 | 22:16 |
| ngomes | one file only | 22:16 |
| TheNH813 | ngomes: Well, you could just copy the files to the right places. | 22:16 |
| tgm4883 | ngomes: a portable application? | 22:16 |
| TheNH813 | And create a shortcut in /usr/share/applications | 22:16 |
| ngomes | tgm4883, i guess so | 22:17 |
| tgm4883 | ngomes: what's the purpose of the application? | 22:17 |
| Startrek852 | If I compile git or make on Kubuntu 15.10, then install it on Ubuntu 14.04.4, will they work? | 22:17 |
| ngomes | TheNH813, i know that , but i would prefer to make a package in order to keep track of it | 22:17 |
| Startrek852 | *install them | 22:17 |
| TheNH813 | Startrek852: No. | 22:17 |
| TheNH813 | It won't work because of different library versions | 22:17 |
| tgm4883 | Startrek852: you can, you'd need to build it in a pbuilder | 22:17 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: are you using Windows file shares? | 22:18 |
| ngomes | tgm4883, etcher ... its a usb iso creator | 22:18 |
| tgm4883 | Startrek852: or better, in an LXC container | 22:18 |
| Bassem | minimec: how to remove all packages | 22:18 |
| TheNH813 | ngomes: Ah, well I think I might be able to point you in the right direction | 22:18 |
| ngomes | tgm4883, makes bootable isos on a usb disk | 22:18 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: i have windows on other partion | 22:18 |
| minimec | Bassem: did you kill the dpkg process? | 22:19 |
| gnudoge | no, smb is a network file share. do you file share at all? | 22:19 |
| Bassem | minimec: i rebooted | 22:19 |
| gnudoge | minimec: I'll get him there. I think eth0 is crappin out. | 22:19 |
| Startrek852 | tgm4883: How would I use an LXC container? | 22:19 |
| TheNH813 | ngomes: http://askubuntu.com/questions/146343/how-to-create-a-deb-package-that-installs-a-series-of-files | 22:19 |
| TheNH813 | That may be the answer | 22:19 |
| TheNH813 | You coudl manually create th escripts and compress it into a .deb | 22:19 |
| minimec | gnudoge: I don'tunderstand... | 22:19 |
| gnudoge | check out that paste bin | 22:20 |
| hammer25 | hey guys, I'm running a rsapberry pi with an SD card, and I want to write the contents of it to a USB drive. How to I tell what their corresponding device files are? | 22:21 |
| JFlash | hi, what would cause my ubuntu laptop to not see available wifi networks that all the other nearby devices see? | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | Startrek852: create an lxc container of 14.04, download your build tools/deps into it, build the package normally, then copy the deb files wherever you need them | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | !lxc | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | !lxd | 22:21 |
| tgm4883 | meh | 22:21 |
| JFlash | I have been plagued by connectivity problem on my laptop since I moved to this new bedroom, but all other devices work just fine | 22:21 |
| TheNH813 | Well, I gotta go for now. Laters. | 22:21 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: what to do? | 22:22 |
| rypervenche | hammer25: fdisk -l and/or dmesg after you plug in it. Also, sudo blkid is really nice. | 22:22 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: Did this work before in a different location? | 22:23 |
| JFlash | sure, and it also works now if I get closer to the wireless router | 22:24 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: try stopping smb with sudo service smb stop | 22:24 |
| JFlash | but the laptop is the only one that has this behavior, of all my other devices | 22:24 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: then try reproducing the error | 22:24 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: I see what you mean, but the packages should already be on his computer in /var/cache/apt/archives. Installation failed with 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'. I think the download of the packages went well. It was during installation, where the bluez package failed to install. | 22:24 |
| Startrek852 | tgm4883: How do I create an LXC container? | 22:25 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: Depending on the card/driver, there may be ways to make adjustments to the "gain" on the wifi in order to get a better signal. As well, bear in mind that "wifi" is a radio signal - there are objects that can reflect/deflect or obstruct those signals. | 22:25 |
| gnudoge | minimec: that stands to reason. | 22:26 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: first command unrecognized service | 22:26 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: So we tried to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' after a 'pkill' of the installation process and a reboot. That '--configure -a' failed again when getting to the 'bluez' package. | 22:26 |
| gnudoge | oh, try sudo service smbd stop; | 22:27 |
| JFlash | Yank, sure but how come this issues only affect the laptop. I can use the android tablet and phone from a much further corner of the room and I get great speeds | 22:27 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, while the laptop has to be by the door and even gets spotty connection/ terrible speeds | 22:28 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: Have you tried putting the laptop in different areas of the room to see if you get a better signal? | 22:28 |
| Bassem | minimec: what to do now | 22:28 |
| Kwiatuszyn | Hi | 22:29 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, I probably dont even get a signal bar at all if it's not close to the door | 22:29 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: "By the door" - so there's interference inherent in that...the door jamb, the cables running through the wall, the joists, etc etc etc...just saying. Thinking logically. | 22:29 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: did you try sudo service smbd stop | 22:29 |
| Kwiatuszyn | Can someone help me ? :) | 22:29 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: may be | 22:29 |
| ngomes | so, there is no tool to make deb packages easy | 22:29 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, sorry let me rephase that | 22:29 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, the router is downstair . "by the door" means the closest location to the router that doesnt erequire me to leave the room | 22:30 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: i told you i get error unrecognized service | 22:30 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: So have you tried different areas in the room to see if the signal gets stronger? | 22:30 |
| gnudoge | I asked for 2 different outputs. 1). service smb stop 2). service smbd stop | 22:30 |
| JFlash | JFlash, as I said, because the other areas in the room are farther away, I dont even geet a signal bar | 22:31 |
| Kwiatuszyn | Ok :) I have a problem with VNC. I host TS3 server and i will create music bot but ts3 client on VNC all time crash after a few hours. I don't know how fix it :/ | 22:31 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, sorry, I just called you JFlash | 22:31 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: smbd stop/waiting | 22:31 |
| gnudoge | good, I think it may have been crashing the connection | 22:32 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: So then, with that established, have you tried just adjusting the antenna on the router slightly to see if that will affect the broadcast of the signal? | 22:32 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, but bad signal is only one of the problems , btw | 22:32 |
| gnudoge | minimec: what is next step? | 22:32 |
| tatertots | JFlash you mentioned connectivity issues since you "moved to this new room" suggests no connectivity issues in the 'old' room and also suggest environmental | 22:32 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, sometimes I cannot even detect most of the available networks | 22:33 |
| jaccess | Hi there, if everytime I use some cmd I actually want 'cmd -a' is there a way to set up so I can just type cmd but it actually runs cmd -a. For example, "wget [url]" should actually run "wget -c [url]" | 22:33 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge do you know how can i fix it ? :) | 22:33 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, than I have to restart several times, like in a lottery, and at some points it does find the network that I need it to find | 22:33 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: what was the question | 22:33 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: did you try to reproduce the initial error with samba off? | 22:33 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: So let's guess that samba really had something to with it (I don't think so). we still need a 'clear' package status. So we have to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'. Otherwise we cannot work with the package managment anymore. | 22:34 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: I have a problem with VNC. I host TS3 server and i will create music bot but ts3 client on VNC all time crash after a few hours. I don't know how fix it :/ | 22:34 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: As I mentioned in the beginning, there are generally ways of making adjustments to the hardware properties of the wifi card that you're using - but that is dependent on the hardware and driver - which is worth researching. | 22:34 |
| JFlash | tatertots, what I was sayin by that is that I tested and this problem is related to proximity to the wifi router | 22:34 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: how? | 22:34 |
| JFlash | tatertots, but the other devices work fine at much further distances | 22:34 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: what nic? | 22:34 |
| Bassem | minimec: you want me to try to configure again | 22:34 |
| minimec | gnudoge: By the way. We appreciate your help. | 22:34 |
| JFlash | what is a nic? | 22:34 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: what wireless card do you have | 22:34 |
| YankDownUnder | "nic" - Network Interface Card | 22:35 |
| gnudoge | minimec: copy that. Kwiatuszyn thats intense | 22:35 |
| JFlash | what command do Ihave to run to tell me ? | 22:35 |
| === DzAirmaX_ is now known as DzAirmaX | ||
| tgm4883 | JFlash: can you pastebin the output of 'lspci' | 22:35 |
| tgm4883 | !pastebin | JFlash | 22:35 |
| ubottu | JFlash: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:35 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: what does tailf /var/log/messages say when it happens | 22:35 |
| HappySomethingSo | why can't I seed with transmission? the port is open | 22:36 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: the first you'd want to determine is the make/model of the wifi card - open a terminal and type: sudo lspci | more ====> scroll through the list and locate your wifi card. | 22:36 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: you can use tail to look at the end of a file and tailf to follow the tail of a file. | 22:36 |
| JFlash | tgm4883, http://hastebin.com/fohanudeta.css | 22:36 |
| gnudoge | minimec: no worries | 22:36 |
| gnudoge | minimec: sounded like broken packages, normally network down issues. | 22:36 |
| Bassem | minimec: so what to do | 22:37 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: what about 'lsb_release -r' | 22:37 |
| JFlash | btw, google tells me my intel card and ubuntu dont have always got along with each other, however I fail to understand what I can do about it. | 22:37 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: Question is. Can we clean the package cache, with 'sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin' and 'sudo rm *.* /var/lib/apt/lists' and start over again with 'sudo apt-get update'? | 22:38 |
| JFlash | tgm4883, 15.4 | 22:38 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok will try | 22:38 |
| YankDownUnder | JFlash: Google may have resolved the issue - not necessarily to YOUR liking... | 22:38 |
| Bassem | minimec: should we do it in save mode? | 22:38 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: that shouldn't be what it told you | 22:38 |
| minimec | Bassem: Gve us a moment... | 22:38 |
| hammer25 | Ok, now that I have identified the two devices, the command "sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/dev/sda" should copy the contents of the SD card (mmcblk0) to the thumb drive, correct? | 22:38 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok i'll wait for you | 22:38 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: try reading through the error logs in /var/log/ for more details about the creash if there isn't a report. you can also run htop and type the letter 's' on the process name to strace for further diagnostics | 22:38 |
| JFlash | tgm4883, sorry 15.04 | 22:39 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: but in the event that you did type that in correctly, I would try 16.04 | 22:39 |
| tgm4883 | since 15.04 isn't supported anymore | 22:39 |
| tgm4883 | !15.04 | 22:39 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/vivid | 22:39 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: if you reboot you may need to stop smbd again | 22:39 |
| JFlash | ok, so this have a chance to fix my issue? | 22:39 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: i'll do what you say | 22:39 |
| tgm4883 | JFlash: posibly | 22:39 |
| JFlash | ok I will try that | 22:40 |
| gnudoge | minimec: I would use a find instead of rm | 22:40 |
| JFlash | anything else before I leave to upgrade linux? | 22:40 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: Do you want to log error from the ts3 client ? | 22:41 |
| rypervenche | minimec: Don't ever use rm with * like that. Go with find and then when you are sure of the list it gives you, add the -delete flag to it. | 22:41 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: Could you give him the command you would execute: That might help. | 22:41 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: in a paste bin I'll take a look at it | 22:41 |
| Bassem | minimec: what command? | 22:41 |
| JFlash | YankDownUnder, tgm4883 , and evryone else, thanks for all the help | 22:41 |
| gnudoge | cd into the cache directory | 22:41 |
| minimec | rypervenche: gnudoge: I see ;) | 22:41 |

| gnudoge | np | 22:55 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: how? | 22:55 |
| YankDownUnder | felipec: It may be that other drivers are required for your system. Have you checked? | 22:55 |
| gnudoge | will in ubuntu land we run as sudo. shall I tidy up? one sec | 22:56 |
| minimec | Bassem: 2nd one ^^ see above oist by gnudoge. In words. We rename the 'lists' folder to lists.bak, and then create a new 'lists' foler and give it the approriate 'permissions' with chmod. | 22:56 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder, no I did not. How do I check it? | 22:57 |
| YankDownUnder | felipec: In the "Software and Updates" centre, there is an option to check for "other drivers"... | 22:57 |
| Startrek852 | tgm4883: let me get to my computer. | 22:57 |
| ark-knight | is there an easy way to set up automatic installation? | 22:57 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder, OK, give me a minute please | 22:58 |
| gnudoge | sudo su; cd /var/lib/apt/; mv lists lists.bak; mkdir lists; chmod 0755 lists; pwd Bassem what is the last line of output from that? | 22:58 |
| gnudoge | nope | 22:59 |
| gnudoge | wont work | 22:59 |
| gnudoge | sudo su then the strings | 22:59 |
| tgm4883 | Startrek852: once you install that, then you create the container via "lxc launch ubuntu:14.04 <containername>". It will download about 100MB for the image (although will be faster if you need to do it again as the fiels are now local) | 22:59 |
| tgm4883 | Startrek852: then you can get in the container 'lxc exec <containername> /bin/bash' and install whatever you need and build the packages | 23:00 |

| tgm4883 | vook: you could ask in here if it's a ubuntu question | 23:04 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: is it a third party audio driver? | 23:04 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder: "Apply Changes" button, but I can not clik on it | 23:04 |
| gnudoge | mv -iv lists lists.bak | 23:04 |

| Bassem | gnudoge: you talking to me? | 23:05 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: mv -iv lists lists.bak | 23:06 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder: I mean, It is disable | 23:06 |
| YankDownUnder | felipec: Right. Well. Something you can try - in order to "jolt" the kernel into possibly recognising the USB ports, is to shut down the machine, get into your BIOS, turn off the COM ports - and possibly the LPT port, and then boot again into Ubuntu and see if anything changes...and by the way, how are you testing to see if your USB ports are accessible? | 23:06 |

| Bassem | minimec: what now | 23:09 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder: Sticking a usb unit into the three ports. | 23:10 |

| YankDownUnder | felipec: Er...what KIND of USB - a flash drive? A what? | 23:10 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: I don't know :/ How can i check it ? | 23:10 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: Did he remove the packages in /var/cache/apt/ (I did not follow). I yes. I would first try to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' (just for a check) then 'sudo apt-get update' then 'sudo apt-get upgrade' | 23:10 |
| gnudoge | from cli run 'alsamixer' | 23:11 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: | 23:11 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: will you make sure that all ofthe files are in .bak form? | 23:11 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder: Kingston dtse9 8gb, dell 1tb portable external hard drive, Huawei cell phone... | 23:12 |
| YankDownUnder | felipec: Well, the "mass storage" would be more than enough to test. Either which, try what I suggested about BIOS. | 23:12 |
| felipec | YankDownUnder: OK, I will do it. Thanks | 23:13 |
| * gnudoge goes on break back in 15; Kwiatuszyn you can pm if you need to. | 23:13 | |
| Bassem | gnudoge: how> | 23:13 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: just use ls inside the directories we have modified the files/directories in. just look and make sure they are whatever.bak | 23:14 |
| gnudoge | then read ^^ at minimec | 23:15 |

| asgharpolo | can i programming for android with monodevelopment in ubuntu ? | 23:16 |
| === Moneysac is now known as Moneysac[off] | ||
| gnudoge | looks good | 23:17 |
| gnudoge | Bassem: then in /var/lib/apt the 2 .bin should be in .bak form | 23:18 |
| asgharpolo | can i programming for android with monodevelopment in ubuntu ? | 23:18 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: i did ls in the /var/lib/apt | 23:19 |
| gnudoge | and pkgcache and srcpkgcache.bin are in .bak? | 23:19 |
| ubuntu-mate | hi | 23:20 |
| gnudoge | pkgcache.bin.bak srcpkgcache.bin.bak | 23:20 |
| minimec | Bassem: gnudoge: I agree that creating an empty 'list' folder was a good thing to do, and yet we might still have all the packages in '/var/cache/apt/archives', including the cache (.bin) files in '/var/cache/apt'. I think we would have to remove them too. | 23:20 |
| gnudoge | It should just be .bak or old.file.bak and will be ok. | 23:21 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: i cannot open alsamixer from terminal :. | 23:22 |
| Bassem | minimec: what to do now | 23:22 |
| gnudoge | its not a bandaid in this case it is whole roll of gauze. ;) | 23:22 |
| minimec | Bassem: well. We cleaned the package list. So we have to do 'sudo apt-get update' | 23:23 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: you can 'apt -y install alsamixer' | 23:23 |
| Bassem | minimec: i did the command | 23:24 |
| Bassem | minimec: wont we do the config command | 23:24 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: E: Unable to locate packeage alsamixer | 23:26 |
| minimec | Bassem: Well we will see now. We try a 'sudo apt-get upgrade'. I did not follow all the posts... If the 'bluez' package is still in /archives, it will not work problably. | 23:26 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: apt install alsa-utils | 23:26 |
| Bassem | minimec: how to check if it's there or not | 23:27 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: E: Unable to locate packeage alsa-units | 23:27 |
| minimec | Bassem: If 'upgrade' doesn't work we do 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 23:27 |
| Bassem | minimec: can't we do it first | 23:27 |
| minimec | Bassem: We can... | 23:27 |
| Bassem | minimec: im afraid to get into all this again | 23:28 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: its alsa-utils | 23:28 |
| gnudoge | dpkg -> apt | 23:28 |
| gnudoge | but they are more <==> but I wont go that far | 23:29 |
| minimec | Bassem: You might... To be sure I would 'sudo rm *.deb /var/cacha/apt/archives'. My way... ) | 23:29 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge it was installed | 23:29 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok done the update command | 23:30 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: now alsmixer will give you detailed information about the drivers | 23:30 |
| Bassem | minimec: now what | 23:30 |
| minimec | Bassem: apt-get upgrade | 23:30 |
| gnudoge | alsamixer | 23:30 |
| pizza | hi dudes | 23:30 |
| gnudoge | hi pizza | 23:31 |
| pizza | whats going on? | 23:31 |
| gnudoge | not pizza | 23:31 |
| pizza | u.u | 23:31 |
| gnudoge | I want pizza, I need to eat | 23:31 |
| pizza | hahaha | 23:31 |
| YankDownUnder | sudo apt-get pizza pizza-box pizza-ingredients => "Pizza not found" | 23:32 |
| gnudoge | pizza on a bagel sounds awesome. | 23:32 |
| pizza | jajaja | 23:32 |
| pizza | but classical pizza is better than everything | 23:32 |
| pizza | pepperoni pizza | 23:32 |
| * gnudoge actually laughs out loud | 23:32 | |
| Bassem | minimec: e:sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code 1 | 23:32 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: It was already installed. Still he wants to run alsamixer shows me that I can not: / | 23:32 |
| minimec | Bassem: On what package? | 23:33 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: checking | 23:33 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: the alsa-utils will help in this case. moar options = may not break | 23:34 |
| Bassem | gnome-keyring-3.14.0-1+b1_amd64.deb | 23:34 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: So why i cannot run alsamixer ? | 23:34 |
| pizza | someone used hollywood terminal? | 23:34 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: I can not produce the same issue. My vps with ubutnu 16.04 64 was able to bring up alsamixer without any issues. You may need to contact the service provider for further details. | 23:35 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: you type alsamixer in the terminal ? | 23:35 |
| minimec | Bassem: How is that possible... 'sudo apt-get update | pasteinit' ... I want to see your repository list... | 23:36 |
| yw | need help with x11vnc, on a new ubuntu 16 vm did these steps http://paste2.org/Fgmebcf7 and can't start vnc :( | 23:36 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: now that the alsa-utils are installed this may help with TS. And yes. I installed alsa-utils and brought up alsamixer in cli. | 23:36 |
| yw | tatertots ^ | 23:36 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: cannot open mixer: No such file or directory | 23:37 |
| gnudoge | hmmm you typed alsamixer | 23:37 |
| gnudoge | ? | 23:37 |
| Kwiatuszyn | yep :/ | 23:37 |
| gnudoge | Very strange indeed | 23:37 |
| Bassem | minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.come/19126089 | 23:38 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: so ummm I tried a command and it is a diagnostic. I will run in and get back results, then I will pastebin. | 23:39 |
| Kwiatuszyn | okok :) | 23:39 |
| minimec | Bassem: Why would you have all these 'http://httpredir.debian.org' repositories??? | 23:40 |
| Bassem | minimec: ?? | 23:41 |
| Bassem | minimec: i donno any thing | 23:41 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: minimec What gives " Err http://extras.ubuntu.com jessie/main Sources" trying to mix ubuntu and debian sources ??? | 23:42 |
| minimec | Bassem: I mean there are a lot of 'http://httpredir.debian.org' repositories in your list. What did you do to get then? >> notice Bassem | 23:42 |
| minimec | Bassem: I mean there are a lot of 'http://httpredir.debian.org' repositories in your list. What did you do to get then? >> notice Bashing-om | 23:43 |
| Bassem | minimec: honestly donno | 23:43 |
| minimec | Bassem: Ok.. Boy. That explains a lot... Give me a moment.... | 23:44 |
| Bassem | minimec: ok | 23:45 |
| gnudoge | Kwiatuszyn: that didn't go so well. It told me to "Please inform the person helping you." so now I am completly lost on this issue. I think your VPS hosting provider should be informed. This is 16.04 ubuntu correct? | 23:45 |
| Kwiatuszyn | gnudoge: nope 14.04 | 23:46 |
| gnudoge | should still work. It may be a repo issue, but if alsamixer is not working in the terminal I would try it in byobu, then if that fails look at the strace. | 23:46 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: minimec : Clean up the sources ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ; tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' to see what we have to do ??? | 23:47 |
| a7i3n | autoremove | 23:48 |
| a7i3n | oops | 23:48 |
| a7i3n | wrong screen | 23:48 |
| minimec | Bassem: Bashing-om: I was about to create a new sources.list with https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/generate.php | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: Not ,y call... yours - Yall have been at this for some time .... It only takes 20 munutes to RE-install. with a good internet connection :) | 23:49 |
| Bashing-om | minimec: suggest we fix what is in place rather than a new one .. that due to what is now installed .. maybe corrupted ? | 23:50 |
| minimec | Bashing-om: Bashing-om: Ok. | 23:50 |
| gnudoge | chroot # all the things! | 23:51 |
| minimec | Bassem: Follow the commands posted by Bashing-om above... | 23:51 |
| Bashing-om | minimec: It is your call ! .. Welcome to the learning process .. the learning curve can get steep . | 23:51 |
| nomic | how to: install updates from command line | 23:52 |
| nomic | is apt-get update | 23:52 |
| gnudoge | nomic: then apt-get upgrade | 23:52 |
| hammer25 | How do I close an instance of a file in vim after I suspended it with ctrl Z? | 23:52 |
| Bashing-om | nomic: 'sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' . | 23:52 |
| nomic | thanks | 23:52 |
| nomic | thought so | 23:52 |
| Bassem | Bashing-om: what to do | 23:52 |
| mutante | hammer25: try "fg" | 23:52 |
| jim | a7i3n, don't worry, we all make mistakes, and yours didn't cause damage or disruption | 23:53 |
| mutante | hammer25: fg for foreground, to get stuff back from the background | 23:53 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: What do you want to do .. It is ypur frustration level here we have to deal with .. I am always for fixing .. RE-install is for wimps . | 23:53 |
| hammer25 | its saying "not and editor command" | 23:53 |
| hammer25 | where should i type it? | 23:53 |
| a7i3n | Running two machines one scree was updating on the other device...eek | 23:53 |
| gnudoge | hammer25: you can also delete the file.swp generated by vim | 23:53 |
| mutante | hammer25: outside the editor, on shell | 23:54 |
| Bassem | Bashing-om: minimec told me to follow your instructions | 23:54 |
| mutante | hammer25: the Ctrl+Z thing is a general thing for any process, not just text file or editor related | 23:54 |
| === RamPage_ is now known as RamPage | ||
| gnudoge | Bassem: did apt-get update break? | 23:54 |
| Bassem | gnudoge: yes | 23:55 |
| Bashing-om | Bassem: K .. then post ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list ; tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' and we see what it takes to fix the source list files . | 23:55 |
| Bassem | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19126089 | 23:55 |
| hammer25 | mutante: ok, that worked. thank you, i definately need to look into how to use vim more before trying to edit cmdline.txt with it lol | 23:56 |
| gnudoge | hammer25: make a backup first | 23:56 |
| Bassem | Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19127519 | 23:57 |
| mutante | hammer25: glad to help. so that "sending stuff to background" thing is totally separate from vi, it would work for anything | 23:58 |
| minimec | Bashing-om: If you mean 'first check the sources' when you're giving support to someone... I learned my lesson... ;) | 23:58 |
| hammer25 | gnudoge: its a raspberry pi. i figure worse case scenario I would need to reimage the sd card in my laptop | 23:58 |
| tyrick | Hi, I am having trouble booting after an install | 23:58 |
| tyrick | I ran boot-repair and got the following: | 23:58 |
| tyrick | =================== Suggested repair | 23:58 |
| tyrick | The default repair of the Boot-Repair utility would reinstall the grub-efi-amd64-signed of sda2, using the following options: sda1/boot/efi, | 23:58 |
| tyrick | Additional repair would be performed: unhide-bootmenu-10s use-standard-efi-file rename-ms-efi | 23:58 |
| hammer25 | mutante: cool. what other things get sent to the background? | 23:58 |
| gnudoge | hammer25: saves time to backup a file that small. | 23:59 |
| gnudoge | hammer25: I moved /etc on a rasp pi once | 23:59 |
