gnudogemessed up while debugging a cron ....  2nd lesson always use relitive paths until the cron is completed.00:00
gnudogethen test.00:00
hammer25gnudoge: I made a clone of the SD card on a USB stick, and when I insert the stick, it mounts three different things, root, boot, and SETTINGS. Whats a good way to back that up?00:01
mutantehammer25: if you hit Ctrl + Z you send the current process to background. it just happened to be the text editor in your case. but it would be the same for any application00:01
gnudogehammer25: that is a 1337 backup. vry nice.00:01
hammer25gnudoge: ?00:01
codepython777if i have a bunch of scripts that apt-get 100s of packages, how can i get this to a more efficient state? Is there a tool that helps with this?00:03
Bashing-omminimec: I am always amazed at what I do not know ... I have had some - and still do - great teachers .00:03
gnudogehammer25 I think its a great idea00:03
mutantecodepython777: you can use "dpkg --get-selections" to get the current list of packages and save it to a file. then you can copy that file and use it with "dpkg --set-selections" on another host. and it will install the exact same packages00:04
YankDownUndercodepython777: Would it not be best to "modular-ise" and create a master script that calls other scripts...in order to allow  for easier editing/customisation of the modules?00:04
Bashing-omtyrick: Your question ? boot-repair is pretty smart .00:04
BassemBashing-om: so?00:06
hammer25gnudoge: My goal here is to run an ubuntu server image from the usb. I read somewhere that to do that I should copy the sd to usb, format the sd, put the boot portion back onto the usb, then change cmdline.txt to use the usb as root.00:06
hammer25is that reasonable?00:07
Bashing-omBassem: While I am looking at the sources .. let's insure we have operating head room  post ' df -h ' df -i '.00:07

minimecBashing-om: wise words...00:08
codepython777YankDownUnder: I do exactly that right now, but i 've to get same packages for each of my dependencies?00:08
hammer25gnudoge: problem is, there are two FAT partitions on the sd card, a 1.1gb FAT16, and a 63mb FAT32. Do you have any idea which is the boot partition?00:09

Bassemminimec: what to do now00:10

blndidiotI'm thinking of formatting.  Does backing up my home folder cover pretty much everything I'd need?  Aside from any system configs I've set up like auto-mounting drives on boot and such.   I just don't want to miss anything obvious.  When I originally installed, I didn't put my home dir on its own partition01:52
daxI usually just back up ~/01:52
blndidiotthat's home01:52
daxso yeah, if you didn't put stuff elsewhere, you don't need to back up stuff elsewhere.01:52
daxwhich is a bit tautological, but i guess means there's probably not some thing you need that you don't know about01:53

cwolfordok, so i was working with tatertots earlier today regarding the scanner portion of my canon pixma mp560 not working. he basically told me that the library i was installing didn't have all the necessary dependencies for my scanner to work properly. he also said that because it wasn't on the official supported scanner list for 16.04, i was basically "pissing in the wind" to try and get it to work. however, i just found this page01:57
cwolford(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/libsane-common/1.0.25+git20150528-1ubuntu2) which--since it's for xenial--leads me to believe that my mp560 is supported...which means i'm more confused than ever.01:57

swolfhey guys, need some help with partitions. Kinda in a fix here01:59
blndidiotask02:00
cwolfordswolf what's your question?02:00
swolfHey guys, don't ask me why but I really need to install Windows 10 in a dual boot with Ubuntu 14.04. I'm currently running Ubuntu in a dual boot with Kali Linux 2.0 and my Windows will be replacing Kali. To be honest I know how to remove, resize and create a new partition but I'm confused about one single thing. /dev/sda2 is my Ubuntu and /dev/sda5 is my Kali. Can I get rid of /dev/sda4? In that way when I can resize my Ubuntu parti02:01
swolftion to give some extra space to Windows after deleting Kali. It is just that /dev/sda4 is right in between those two and I'm not sure if deleting that is wise. Please help me out of this fix. Feel free to ask me anything if I sound confusing. Thanks guys.02:01
swolfmy current partition: http://imgur.com/RKTQk6W02:01
forgxswolf: What is contained in /dev/sda4?02:02
swolfI'm not sure, the file system is unknown and has a flag of bios_grub02:03
cwolfordforgx and the partition is only 1MB02:03
forgxcwage: what?02:04
forgxcwolford* (sorry cwage)02:04
cwolfordforgx i was just adding to swolf's info02:04
forgxswolf: I'm not an expert, but it's probably kali's grub02:04
swolfassuming it is kali's grub, then there won't be any problem deleting that as i'm deleting kali. right?02:05
swolfand even if i don't delete it it should not matter as I use the Ubuntu's grub02:06
cwolfordswolf, nope, not if you're getting rid of kali and it *is* kali's grub02:06
forgxI assume that, yeah. But I'm not an expert hahaha02:06
swolfcwolford: so I can delete it along with Kali right?02:07
cwolfordswolf sure you can.02:07
cwolfordswolf but i'm no expert either02:07
cwolford;)02:07
Tin_manswolf, if you don't have a bunch of time, and tweaks to Ubuntu, just back up your /home directory, let windows 10 have the entire disk, then reinstall Ubuntu02:07
blndidiotswolf: I would leave /dev/sda4 alone .. installing windows isn't going to touch it anyway.  boot_grub is for BIOS booting from what I'm reading.  You'll probably need to do update-grub from a live session after installing windows to regen your boot configs.  also, you need to do any partition resizing in a live session as well.. preferably using a live image of the same OS version whose partition you are resizing02:07
swolfthank you so much cwolford and forgx02:07
cwolfordswolf, hold your thanks until it you don't screw anything up lol02:08
swolfyea, ihavethe live cds ready with me. After reading everyones comments this is what I plan to do; 1. back up everything, 2. Delete dev/sda4 and sda5, 3. Resize sda2, 4. Install Windows 10 and 5. Fix grub02:10
blndidiotyou are probably right that the partition flagged with boot_grub is kali.. I'm not seeing a ton of info about it googling.  I don't want to tell you to delete it and then be wrong though :)02:11

swolfblndidiot: same here, i googled for it; got nothing, asked around on reddit; got nothing. So this is the best I have got so far :P02:13
blndidiotwell if you use google's Verbatim feature it's easier to find info about boot_grub02:13
blndidiotthere is some info out there, but not a whole lot02:13
swolfblndidiot: i'll just take my chances as I'm already backing up the system. So there is nothing to lose as such (apart from getting a pain in the ass if I'm wrong). Plus this seems like good opportunity to learn new shit ;)02:16
blndidiotswolf: if you installed Ubuntu first, which created /dev/sda1 2 and 3, and then later installed kali.. it would have taken sda4 and 5.. so I think it's only logical that this is what's going on02:16
blndidiotyour ubuntu partition should be fine02:17
swolfyup I was just about to add the same thing02:17
swolfalright guys, off I go with my experiment. I'll update if everything goes smoothly (assuming you guys are still around)02:18
Startrek852Hello? Anyone?02:18
blndidiotswolf:02:19
blndidiotyou will likely need to reinstall grub entirely after you resize your partition.  so keep that in mind.  I went through this when I resized my linux partition and just remembered about it02:20
blndidiotjust thought I would throw that in before you got started02:20
swolfblndidiot: noted02:20

folfk_sze[work], isn't that the way it is supposed to work?07:22
k_sze[work]folf: I thought it's supposed to install the exact same versions of packages.07:23
hmmmhey there07:24
hmmmi'm facing a problem - broken xorg on a fresh installation of lubuntu07:24
Blue1howdy tex07:24
k_sze[work]Otherwise I could have just done `dpkg --get-selection`, `dpkg --set-selections`, and then `apt-get dselect-upgrade`07:24
hateballhmmm: Describe the nature of the brokenness07:24
k_sze[work]folf: for what it's worth, apt-clone actually bothered generating an installed.pkgs file, with the exact version numbers listed.07:26
k_sze[work]So it's really puzzling that `apt-clone restore` didn't use that version information.07:26
hmmmit hangs on disk checking on boot ( /dev/sda1: clean x/y files, z/a blocks ) until i get to the console and fails to startx07:26

ducassek_sze[work]: nor am i sure if older packages are actually kept in the repos.07:30
folfk_sze[work], I see the point. Not clear from the documentation what to expect...07:30
k_sze[work]ducasse: older packages are expected to be kept in the repos, at least for some period of time. That's why apt-get has a syntax to install exact version: http://askubuntu.com/a/9202107:31
NorrPLhi guys07:32
hmmm:(07:32
ducassek_sze[work]: yes, i know _some_ older packages are kept, but i'm not sure about _all_ older packages.07:32
hmmmoh, and no internet there07:33
NorrPLif someone installs LTSP Cluster on ubuntu server?07:33
NorrPLi've problems with booting thin clients07:34
k_sze[work]ducasse: reproducibility would be a PITA if older packages are not kept.07:37
k_sze[work]I think the Ubuntu maintainers would understand that need well enough.07:38
NorrPLanybody can hep me?07:38
k_sze[work]And we're talking about Trusty, an LTS release, too. I would be less surprised if the regular non-LTS releases didn't have old package versions kept in the repos.07:41
ducassek_sze[work]: iirc, it depends on the mirror how long they keep packages. if you depend on specific versions of all package i suspect you are expected to install from a local mirror or cloned images, for example.07:41
k1l_k_sze[work]: ubuntu doesnt update the version numbers, but backport heavy bugfixes and security fixes to the same version that was released with the ubuntu release07:42
k_sze[work]Sure, in which case I can see how apt-clone could complain that it can't find a specific version. But we digress.07:43
k_sze[work]the fact is that apt-clone didn't even try to get the exact version.07:43
ducassek_sze[work]: no, it doesn't, and as i said most users would not want it to.07:43
k_sze[work]k1l_: that's not true in the absolute sense.07:47
k_sze[work]There are some packages that ubuntu actually upgrades and changes version number.07:47
k_sze[work]Not just backporting fixes.07:47
hmmmum...guys?07:47
yuppiehi07:47
k_sze[work]e.g. firefox07:48
ducassek_sze[work]: you can put in a feature request to the developers, as i'm sure many people would find it useful. or even better, provide a patch :)07:48
k1l_k_sze[work]: yes, some few, like browsers, because backporting doesnt work with that much version upgrades and no patches from upstream but its security issue with that sort of program07:48

borisetobenederes: I did that a while back, let me see if I can find the site I followed. It still runs grub, but it recognizes that it's waking up from hibernation and just continues to boot up.08:34
ducassebenederes: on suspend your os is already in memory, on hibernate it needs to be read from disk.08:34
LehnuxHi08:35
borisetobenederes: so grub would start anyway, but would check if it's waking up and just continue loading the OS instead of showing you any options. Is that what you want to achieve or just skip the grub overall?08:35
benedereswhated to skip grub when resuming from hibernation08:37

borisetobenederes: oposite. Will show grub on fresh start, but will skip if resuming from Ubuntu.08:41
Ben64krambiorix: you haven't gotten any security updates in OVER A YEAR08:41
borisetobenederes: X in the sdaX I think should be the swap partition...08:42
borisetobenederes: also, you shouldn't replace that line, just add into that line the command08:42
benederesthanks08:43
krambiorixBen64, yeah i didn't own the server, i inherited it08:43
krambiorixBen64 is there something i can do?08:44
Ben64krambiorix: yeah, upgrade to a supported release08:44
krambiorixBen64 there are 1200 users on the webapplication...08:45
Ben64that should be more of a reason to make sure it's secure08:46
ducassekrambiorix: eol releases are not supported here, for very good reasons.08:47
k1l_krambiorix: just take a look at ubuntu.com/usn and see what security issues dont get fixed for your server anymore. you should plan the upgrade to 12.04 asap.08:48

_dreamerHello, I have recently installed ubuntu server on my computer and all I get on boot is a black screen. I installed the same iso on a virtual box and it displayed everything perfectly as it usually does. I am able to access the recently installed system through ssh but the server main display is black.08:52
k1l_!nomodeset | _dreamer try this08:53
ubottu_dreamer try this: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter08:53
_dreamerthere are no graphic drivers installed, I use integrated graphics, probably intel08:55
_dreameri've edited the /etc/default/grub with line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\"" still nothing09:09
_dreamerthe screen is still black09:09
_dreameri've also executed sudo update-grub command09:10

_dreamerHas anyone else had problems with black screen after installing Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS?09:16
Dat_dreamer: not i09:18
_dreamerI have tried x64, x86, never had this problem before09:18
_dreamerI can access the machine through ssh, but the main screen of the server is black09:19
_dreamerOne thing i've noticed is that my "install" has a lot more options in the Software Selection list than usual09:22
_dreamerWhen I installed it on a virtual machine it didn't look the same09:22
_dreamerCan this have something to do with it?09:22
Dat_dreamer: not sure maybe try getting to the terminal alt+f209:24
_dreamerare u shitting me? XD09:24
_dreamerit worked09:25
_dreamerhahah09:25

_dreamerbut yes09:25

hateball_dreamer: if you remove "quiet splash" from your boot, does that change anything?09:26
_dreamerprobably09:26
_dreamerpropably*09:26
hateballI'm thinking if it tries to set resolution for plymouth via KMS and that somehow... breaks things09:26
_dreamerIm gonna install x64 now instead and see if it works09:27
_dreamerI am not a linux guru so you are probably right, gonna try it again and see if it will run09:27

rockyhhello! I tried to modify the MOTD in Ubuntu 14.04, creating an executable in /etc/update-motd.d/. Even if I give it a high number in filename, e.g. 99-test, the row that should be printed by that file is not at the end of the MOTD, but always before "No mail" and "last login". Is there a way to print *after* those lines?10:06
nils_rockyh, I think those aren't part of the motd, it's controlled by pam10:11
turtletownHey can anyone help me? im having issues with rufus trying to configure my usb10:11
rockyhnils_: you mean the "No mail" and the "last login" lines are controlled by pam?10:12
nils_rockyh, check /etc/pam.d/login10:12

hateball_dreamer: Clonezilla is good for that10:32
Dandelsbenederes, it's supposed to10:32
DandelsThat parameter just tells the swap device to resume from. Resuming from hibernation doesn't skip grub10:32
DandelsResuming happens later in the boot process10:32
rajiv1Is there any command in ubuntu 16.04  by using which i can update my system without any disturbances? I mean while i updating and there is a network failure, then it automatically retries the update process.10:32
benederesso its no way to skip grub when resuming hibernation ?10:33
ducassebenederes: no.10:33
hateballrajiv1: apt will download all needed packages before it tries to install them10:33
benederesso any what can i do its to set timer to less seconds (timer=1 sec for example ) ?10:34
Dandelsbenederes, there's a GRUB_TIMEOUT value for it in /etc/default/grub.10:34
benederesi know,readed config file already )10:35
rajiv1hateball: Some times it stops downloading the packages due to network connectivity or other issues. Is there any command by using which, the system automatically retries the process?10:35
RedMan00Hello my friend is having troubles getting Kega-Fusion on 16.04. Is it in the default repos?10:36
hateballrajiv1: it saves the packages to a cache, so if you run apt upgrade/full-upgrade again it will resume downloading until all needed packages are cached locally10:37
hmmmwell, thanks for nothing10:37
hateballrajiv1: there is no built in logic, you'd have to script it10:37
rajiv1hateball: That means its normal to happen like this. I have to run the process again.10:38
hateballrajiv1: there is the option -o Acquire::Retries you can use, but even that might fail10:38
hateballif you set it to 10, and it fails 11 times10:39
hateballrajiv1: "If you notice that apt-get isn't able to finish downloads you can increase the number of retries that it should perform before it finally gives up. This is done by adding APT::Acquire::Retries=20 to /etc/apt/apt.conf." from http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-pkgmaint.html10:40
rajiv1hateball: when i am installing a particular package and during which some problem occurs such as network failure or some other in the middle. then again by using "apt-get install <<package>>" what happened?10:42

RNevilleany help appreciated, but simply running these commands ( in question) hasn't solved the problem15:01
RNevilleI have had to manual remove files to make room for upgrades15:01
ducasseRNeville: if you just delete the files, there will still be lots of leftovers from the packages.15:01

RNevilleducasse, I will try your suggest, it does sound the way to go - doing things correct is alway best15:09

kulelu88when I check the kernel version of my 14.04.4 LTS, why does it show the kernel as being V.3.16 and not V3.13, which is supposed to be the kernel for 14.04? Is there any reason why the 3.16 kernel is used?15:51
nacc_!hwe | kulelu8815:51
ubottukulelu88: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack15:51
nacc_kulelu88: you presumably at some point installed the (vivid) hwe stack15:51
hdonquinten_k, yep15:52
kulelu88nacc_: this is a fresh install of 14.04. I didn't do a dist-upgrade at all15:52
nacc_kulelu88: note that on august 4, all hwe stacks otehr than 14.04.5 will cease to be supported (aiui)15:52
nacc_kulelu88: is it an install of "14.04.1"15:52
nacc_kulelu88: my understanding is the first dotrelease became the official release (again aiui only)15:52
kulelu88nacc_: install of "14.04.4".15:53
nacc_kulelu88: (sorry, not vivid, utopic)15:53
kulelu88nacc_: so when 14.04.1 was released, they bumped the kernel up?15:55
nacc_kulelu88: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes#LTS_Hardware_Enablement_Stack readiung that, the 14.04.4 image seems like it should have had an even more recent kernel and X stack than what you are seeing15:55
kulelu88I see what you're saying nacc_ . 14.04.4 should ship with 4.215:56
nacc_kulelu88: that's how i'm reading it, i definitely might be wrong :)15:57
kulelu88I wonder if I can bump up the kernel myself ... Does this usually break things nacc_  ?15:57
nacc_kulelu88: you mean installing the latest hwe stack? it *shouldn't* break things (esp. the kernel side, as you should be able to boot back to the older kernel). The X side might be trickier, as it's not possible to have two X installations in parallel (aiui)15:58
kulelu88looks like I'm not the only one seeing 3.16 as the 14.04.4 kernel: https://askubuntu.com/questions/753369/latest-kernel-for-ubuntu-14-04-415:58

joeliouse the metapackage (linux-generic-lts-xenial) and you'll get all the updates too16:01
naccjoelio: agreed, it should; but there are always corner cases :)16:01
joelionacc: should what?16:02
kulelu88joelio: so you also upgrade the kernel all the time?16:03
naccjoelio: should just work16:04
kulelu88if yes, can you tell me what apt-get commands you use to do it?16:04
joeliokulelu88: if on 14.04 - apt update && apt install linux-generic-lts-xenial16:04
joeliolinux-generic-lts-xenial is a metapackage16:04
joelioso that has dependencies on the current 4.4.x kernel in xenial16:05
joeliowhen xenial gets updates, the dependencies get updated on the metapacakage16:05
kulelu88joelio: that is all? there is nothing else to upgrade as well?16:05
joelioso when you apt update and upgrade, it'll get the later kernel in the 4.4.x tree - if one exists16:05

joeliojust to get a later kernel.. but tbh - there's not a lot in it16:07

joelioone backup doesn't complely fill my I/O capacity, so I run several - which does :)16:43
dirtylifeandtimewhat are you backing up? home dir?16:43
joeliono, ceph rbd device volumes from a cloud16:43

dirtylifeandtimeaha16:44
naccdirtylifeandtime: if you don't know why you'd need parallel, don't use it, no big deal; it's a performance improvement (potentially) with overhead associated to handle the parallelism16:44
joelioyea, what nacc said :)16:45
dirtylifeandtimeI'm not necessarily interested in using it, just having a general understanding of what it does.16:45

joeliocool, always good - I find it really useful - simple and works well16:45
joeliothere are other cases.. perhaps paralllel compression or decopression of media etc16:46
naccdirtylifeandtime: it runs stuff in parallel -- not trying to be sarcastic, but htat's all it does, really16:46
joelioyup16:46
joeliodo one thing, do it well16:46
dirtylifeandtime"GNU parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU parallel as input for other programs."16:46
dirtylifeandtimeCan you give me an example of that?16:46
joeliowell, it's just pipes basically, standrd unix philosophy16:47
naccthis seems like a better topic for ##linux or #bash at this point16:47
joelioyea, maybe16:47

=== GitGud is now known as GitGuf
dirtylifeandtimenacc: understood, out of scope16:47
naccdirtylifeandtime: it's roughly like what joelio was telling you before, though; if you have 3 programs running at the same time, all possible outputting to the screen, you might get interleaved output16:47
naccdirtylifeandtime: parallel just handles that part of it, aiui16:47
joelioyep, sorry, my bad, was just trying to work out if there would be several procs wirting at the same time, but if it's scripted, doubtful :)16:48
joelioright, hometime.. have a good one all16:48
dirtylifeandtimeokay got it16:48

Pinkamena_DI have a very long hostname that I would like to shorten if possible in linux. Usually when this happens I just use the hosts file but I cant do that because the dns is dynamic. Is there anyway to map a hostname to a shorter hostname?17:01
beginnerbashing-om: the thing is that once i click on the upgrade button it ask me the password but afterward it doesnt open the release note window17:01
naccPinkamena_D: /etc/hosts ?17:03
Bashing-ombeginner: Do not know the GUI method. prompt= ??, and we see what results once known with a terminal release upgrade .17:04
naccPinkamena_D: you mean the hostname itself is different each time?17:04
Pinkamena_Dno hostmane is the same, just ip address changes17:04
Pinkamena_DI type it often so I wanted to remap some 30 character hostname to like 5 chars locally17:06
naccPinkamena_D: you could just use a shell alias?17:08
beginnerprompt program17:08
Bashing-ombeginner: "program" does not cpmpute; read " cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades " . There are only 3 options .17:10

beginnerbashing-om : i am a real beginner17:11
Bashing-ombeginner: We were ALL beginners on one time .. no sin there . I too am at some point on the learninbg curve .17:12
beginnerbashing-om: it sais prompt=normal17:13
akikPinkamena_D: if you can use the localhost ip 127.0.0.1 you can just add the shorted name on that line in /etc/hosts17:14
Pinkamena_Dakik, the remote ip address changes every week or so17:15
akikPinkamena_D: it's not so clear how you need to access the shorter host17:15
Bashing-ombeginner: beginner That "normal" is correct . Does terminal command ' sudo apt update ' complete with no errors ?17:15
beginnersudo apt updatee17:16
Pinkamena_Dso basically I just got the cheapest possible hostname and little server at home for development purposes17:16
Pinkamena_Dits long of course, I just wanted to remap it in the same way that hosts does17:16
Pinkamena_Dbut instead of from hostname to ip, I want from hostname to hostname17:16
akikPinkamena_D: can you access all the needed services through the localhost ip 127.0.0.1 ?17:17
Bashing-ombeginner: The command is ' sudo apt update ' .17:17
beginnerbashing om : done... everything updated17:18
beginnerbashing om : yeah i write it here instead in konsole...17:18
Pinkamena_Dnot sure what you mean needed services? basically I need to type now $ ssh someuser@some-really-long-annoying-hostname.com I want to make it so I only have to put $ ssh someuser@shortname17:19
Bashing-ombeginner: That updates/syncs  the list files .. now to see what results in updating the system ' sudo apt upgrade ' . completes with no errors reported ?17:19
beginnerno errors17:20
beginnerbashing-om: no errors17:20
akikPinkamena_D: is some-really-long-annoying-hostname.com the hostname of the machine you have at home or somewhere in the cloud? what is your client machine? what is your server machine?17:21
Pinkamena_Dserver at home, client is a laptop could be at any internet connected location17:21
Bashing-ombeginner: K .. and now .. no proprietary driver in use .. ( proprietary stuff is non-ubuntu) . what returns ' sudo lshw -C display '. In a pastebin site so you do not flood this cahannel . Do you require guidance to use a pastebin site ?17:23
akikPinkamena_D: ok maybe you could just use shell aliases in that case17:23
akikPinkamena_D: or $HOME/.ssh/config in which you can setup aliases17:24
akikPinkamena_D: i think .ssh/config fits your use case17:25
Pinkamena_Dssh config? thats interesting, I will take a look at it17:25
beginnerbashing-om: yes it would be great17:25
Bashing-om!pastbinit | beginner17:26
akikPinkamena_D: in it you can have "host server-a" and tell it to connect to "hostname some-really-long-annoying-hostname.com"17:26
Bashing-om!pastebinit | beginner17:26
ubottubeginner: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com17:26
akikPinkamena_D: so would just use "ssh server-a" and it connects to that long hostname17:27
Bashing-ombeginner: ' sudo apt install pastebinit ' . then, ' sudo lshw -C display | pastebinit ' . the result is a URL back in your terminal . Pass that complete link back here and we can access the file .17:28

minimecBassem_: If the installer gives you the option to replace the existing linux installation, choose that. The installation routine will do the rest.17:46

JakesDenHello, I have a problem with my keyboard. It visualy has a us layout but the keyboard is programmed to have the uk layout, is there any software that can make it change the incoming keys to what they would be on a us keyboard?18:00
mutanteJakesDen: you should be able to change your keyboard layout somewhere in the settings of your window manager / desktop18:01
mutanteJakesDen: from the keyboard point of view it's just where which stickers are. it's not programmed there, just the OS picks one18:02
Bashing-omJakesDen: Keyboard functional as is now ? what results ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ' To have the wizard re-configure ?18:02
JakesDenit detects it uk but now i changed it to force us keyboard layout18:03
JakesDenthe thing is even if no keyboard layout is set it will automaticly be picked up as uk18:03
JakesDenand the battery compartment hardly even fits the 2 aaa batterys in it and now makes my keyboard wobble as the batterys are springing out18:04
JakesDenwould tightning the spring help?18:04
mutantemaybe the "even if no layout is set"-part is from language settings (en-uk vs. en-us), picking a default18:05
Bassem_minimec: install ubuntu alongside windows 7 or erase disk and install ubuntu?18:05
Bassem_minimec: or something else18:05
JakesDen+18:06
mutanteJakesDen: personally i like them to not have batteries, good old cable. they never run out in the wrong moment and it's not like i'll ever be able to set further away from my screen than the cable  length and still be able to read text18:06
minimecBassem_: Alongside Windows7! Otherwise, the whole disk will be reformatted, including windows 7. You can also choose 'something else' and choose the partitioni manually.18:07
JakesDenwell it seems like this wireless keyoard is not so wireless\18:07
JakesDenyou need the wireless reciver litraly touching it in order for it to work18:07

JakesDeni might mod the keyboard and give it a usb cable for use as a hub to conect a reciver inside the device and also power the keyboard18:08

minimecBassem_: That seems ok. Use the (21.5) partition as root, and the (64.4) partition as /home. Format at least the (21.5GB) partition.18:10
JakesDennow i can jut imagen a youtube how: @Welcom back to the wired to wireless keyboard converion chanel@18:10
JakesDengreat now the rechargeable battery has floung across the room18:11
minimecBassem_: You have to choose the 'Mount point' for the mentioned partitions.18:11
minimecBassem_: '/' stands tor the 'root' partition.18:12
minimecBassem_: If you don't format the 54.4GB partition and choose /home as mount point, you will even preserve your user data from the last installation.18:13

minimecCodFection: The 'xrandr' way is indeed worth a try. use 'gtf' to get the 'Modeline' for the desired resolution, like 'gtf 1920 1080'.18:57

saitoh183_i tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin, but all i get is the web application choice18:58

tahderokay mutante, how do i get there now that ive already burned the cd19:15
tahderhttp://smallbusiness.chron.com/boot-cd-lenovo-55992.html19:15
mutantetahder: i'd do what Exagone313 said and use a USB drive.. probably easiest19:16
mutantethe link you have seems to be pretty detailed ..19:17
forgxCan I ask a question about ufw? Or that would be offtopic?19:17
saitoh183_Exagone313: i dont what to show...basically i run the setup via sudo install phpmyadmin (added the source list) then it prompts for the webclient (apache or lighttpd).I hit ok and it just finishes the installation.19:18
saitoh183_it should ask  to configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common19:18
saitoh183_but it doesnt19:18
mutantesaitoh183_: you said you have nginx, so if it just supports apache and lighttpd.. that would be why, i guess19:18
tahdermutante, yes but the problem is there is no boot section to begin with19:18
=== precise|snek is now known as m1kespears
mutantesaitoh183_: then it's a feature request. you could open it as a bug against the package. "support nginx"19:19
saitoh183_no...cuz after that i can just symlink to the html folder of nginx and it should work19:19
saitoh183_i did it in 14.04 and 15.0419:19
saitoh183_nginx isnt the problem19:19
saitoh183_the problem is the fact that im not getting the configure database for phpmyadmin with dbconfig-common19:20
Exagone313saitoh183_: stop did you just say you edited sources.list?19:20
Exagone313don't do that19:20
saitoh183_no i didnt edit it manually19:20
Exagone313remove what you added, phpmyadmin is available without any addition repo19:20
saitoh183_i just added so i could get the lastes version of phpmyadmin19:20
mutantetahder: that's surprising. i dunno, but it's a Lenovo, they all have a boot option somewhere.. must be hidden19:21
saitoh183_to make sure i wasnt getting a unsupported package19:21
Exagone313sorry, but if you are not using the ubuntu repo, I can't help you, ask on #phpmyadmin19:21
Exagone313but don't forget to tell them you are using their repo19:21
saitoh183_i tried that first and added the source after i couldnt get it to work for the thousand time19:22
Exagone313to not get redirected here once again :P19:22
mutantetahder: can you switch it between UEFI and BIOS (legacy) ? boot options might show up then19:22
forgxCan you configure ufw to allow a dynamic dns? (Like a domain)19:22
saitoh183_i tried it with the official repo and it was the same problem19:22
saitoh183_the ubuntu repo i mean19:22
Exagone313ok, so can you copy the console output, when you install? I can't try it here19:23
saitoh183_i followed this guide: https://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-lemp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-x/19:23
saitoh183_ the part about phpmyadmin19:24
saitoh183_yes i will output..sec19:24

Exagone313it shouldn't ask for any password19:30
saitoh183_Exagone313: this part is the part that doesnt happen19:30
naccsaitoh183_: that page you referred to is 100% out of date19:30

saitoh183_i just took that link for the pic...but i found one with php7 and mariadb 1019:32
DJonesBassem: Depends on your usage, I'd say irssi, but everybody has differnt opinions19:32
Exagone313saitoh183_: so phpMyAdmin is installed, you don't fail the installation or get blocked, right?19:32
saitoh183_right19:33
naccsaitoh183_: ok, i just installed phpmyadmin in a lxc container in 16.04 and it prompted for db info19:33
saitoh183_its just that it doesnt do the db creation step19:33
ioriasaitoh183_, are you installing phpmyadmin from ppa ?19:33

k1ljianu81s: there is no reason to not use 64bit if your cpu can use 64bit19:34
naccsaitoh183_: and going back and forth without properly purging can lead to issues19:34
jianu81sdoes it use more space than 32bit ?19:34
k1ljianu81s: no.19:34
saitoh183_didnt go back and forth...i tried just doing sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin19:35

saitoh183_yeah cuz i had a access denied error with root @localhost and i decided to start from scratch and since then, i cant get it to the db portion19:47
naccsaitoh183_: if i had to make a guess, that means you didn't actually purge the db settings and so it's not asking to reconfigure what is already configured; try `dpkg-reconfigure -plow phpmyadmin` ?19:48

daum_hi guys - i have 3 network cards that are all on different networks.  my em1 and em3 both have public internet.  I can ping out to any ip fine over em1, however over em3 i can only ping/ssh/curl other ips on the exact same network.  I can't get outside of it's own subnet of ips though as well nothing from outside can reach it on that interface unless it's on the same subnet..  Any idea what i'm doing wrong? here is an example of my setup:21:38

k1lparanoidabhi: any reason to run a 4.7 kernel? that is not a standard ubuntu one21:40
j625-xi have an interesting problem, i have a 64-bit tablet computer - it has an external keyboard option, but i do not want to use the keyboard. I have it working pretty well without one - but the one challenge that I have is that I want full disk encryption for this device, but I would need a physical keyboard to unlock LUKS! I'm exploring strategies for not needing the keyboard, i can put the key on a USB without a passphrase (not cool).21:41
j625-xshould i possibly look at some kind of chain booting setup?21:41
Jordan_Udaum_: How do you want this to work? If a connection is initiated from this host to an internet addressible ip what interface do you want it to use?21:41
Kiritoo.O where is mpv pulling youtube-dl from21:43
KiritoIt's apparently not actually the youtube-dl package21:43

deepesham getting the same error21:43
Jordan_Uj625-x: You can have /boot/ be unencrypted and include enough in the initramfs to use an on screen keyboard (the former being easy, the latter likely nlt so much).21:43
deepeshJAVA_HOME command not found21:44
daum_for majority of the time em121:44
daum_Jordan_U, if the connection starts on em3 it should start/finish on it21:44
j625-xJordan_U: that would be IDEAL! But is there an on screen keyboard that doesn't require X?21:45
Jordan_Udaum_: A connnection initiated from that host doesn't "start" from any interface though, which was why I asked.21:45
* Kirito really wishes more motherboards would support FDE21:46
KiritoI have never actually come across a single laptop that actually supports it. </sigh>21:46
daum_Jordan_U, right for that i was just testing with pings/curls specifying the em3 interface21:47
daum_my main thing is for if an outside host connects over the ip that em3 is on, it should complete over that ip21:47
daum_right now it seems to work just fine if from one host on that subnet i do a curl --interface em3 yyy.yy.yyy.98/ready, but if i try it for example from my local computer it doesn't get any response21:49
Kiritoand I am under the impression that Ubuntu's mpv package has youtube-dl statically built into it somehow o_O21:49
Jordan_Udaum_: I've never dealt with a situation where there are essentially two "default" routes on one host before. Network namespaces might help.21:49
daum_Jordan_U, should the server at least respond to pings on it's em3 public ip?  just trying to decide if there is an issue with the network outside the server, or if this is more of a server setup itself21:51
noobfaceokay, im trying to make a bootable cd of ubuntu. The cd is burned but i can't figure out what additional software i need to get it running. Also my current OS seems to be having issues thus the reason why i can't do this on a usb (note- it is not possible to make a bootable usb at the moment)21:51
Ben64noobface: you boot off the cd if you burned it properly21:52
Jordan_UKirito: 1: Statically including libraries is against Debian/Ubuntu packaging guidelines and 2: youtube-dl is a terminal based app, not a library 3: Is written in python and 4: is packaged in the youtube-dl package. So I find that unlikely.21:53
Ben64noobface: although i'm curious as to which iso you used, since ubuntu hasnt fit on a cd for a while now21:53
daum_i'm leaning towards there is someting going on with the network itself, as they can ping/curl themselves over the interfaces and get a response, but anything else can't get tem21:53
KiritoJordan_U, wrong terminology but it's definitely pulling ytdl from somewhere else.21:54
daum_Jordan_U, but that may be due to the fact they are on the same network and not tehn trying to use the default gateway which is on the other nic21:55
noobfaceben64 sorry for delay. I didn't know you need a particular type. Which one will work and can you update the OS once you install it?22:00
Ben64noobface: how about you explain more of what you did22:01
noobfaceok, downloaded ubuntu -16.04-desktop-amd64.iso.part, and burned it to the cd with Brasero Disc Burner. The prompt didn't give an option to make it bootable and when i took it back out and inserted again then the file manager prompt came up with the ubuntu folder on the cd but when i tried to open it it said something had to be on there to install.22:04
noobfaceor actually to be opened22:04

noobfaceactually before i do is there a version you'd recommend for cd install22:06
Ben64well it isn't going to fit on a cd22:06

noobfacethats why i thought cd would be easier22:09
tgm4883rufus?22:09
Bashing-omnoobface: There is a minimal install that will fit on a CD .. that, however, is not for the faint-at-heart .22:09

YankDownUnderIf "Rufus" is causing issues, there is "WinUSB" that lives in the Ubuntu repo's that can be used to create Windows bootable USB drives - and as well,  USB's should be properly formatted and partitioned prior to use (they do get corrupt, ya know)22:10

noobfacealso not that that computer doesn't have an OS at all and it currently stuck in a loop of .. search for os, no os loop back22:12
Ben64rufus is windows software for running on windows. since you're trying to make the bootable usb on linux, you wouldn't use windows software to do it22:12
YankDownUnder"WinUSB" runs natively on Ubuntu.22:12

noobfacehey, so im installing ubuntu 16.04 from a usb and i want to know how much swap area i should leave if i have 16004 space available23:30
noobface16004 MB btw23:30
chechenoobface: how much ram do you have on your system?23:31
noobface8gb23:31
checheI am unable to execute terminal from dash on ubuntu 16.0423:31
aitlkaidhi23:31
chechenoobface: the 16Gb are ssd drive right?23:32
Bassemgbaker_, Ubuntu Precise (and superior) users : You must install the package wine:i386 to get PlayOnLinux working is that me?23:32
noobfaceyes23:32
noobfacebut it says i have only 16004 mb of free space left after the /dev/sda23:33
setuidOk, this is an odd one... I ssh from A -> B, keys are set up, not prompted for auth. Perfect. I then ssh from B -> C, and am prompted for a password. (keys from B->C are set up, I should NOT be prompted).23:33
gbaker_Yes, but it should just install it as a dependency23:33
noobfaceBUT the /dev/sda/ doesn't show size23:34
setuidBut... If I open another terminal, ssh from A -> B, then B -> C, I am NOT prompted, and can ssh right into C without auth from B.23:34
setuidBut ONLY when I have done an initial ssh in that first session, and keep the shell open to C23:34
setuidssh-agent is not used anywhere here, and should not be23:34
Bassemgbaker_, there's 3 options For the Trusty version For the Saucy version For the Precise version which is mine?23:34
setuidSo why does A->B->C work the second time, but not the first, if the keys are set up the same across all three hosts?23:34
Bassemgbaker_, im on this page if you can guide me https://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html23:35
preciseSo I have a directory of files that are arbitrarily named ebooks, using the file util, I can get the majority of their titles from Meta data. I would like to bulk rename the files based on said Meta data. Here is my script along with my output and 2 stack excange posts that I referred to: http://pastebin.com/fW9b4zYV23:35
DMAsetuid: check the security log on B and C to see what's different the second time you SSH A->B->C23:35
preciseObviously the output is not what I am looking for, hence the echo control.23:36
gbaker_You shouldn't need to download from site, use the package manager23:36
Bassemgbaker_, how?23:36
chechenoobface: normaly the sugessted swap size is double RAM size.23:37
preciseignore line 3, snuck in there on accident23:37
setuidDMA, Nothing different23:37
noobfacethen that's be the whole things23:37
setuidDMA, But if the keys are set up right (they are), then auth should work every time, not only the 2nd to nth time23:37
gbaker_just open a terminal and paste this     sudo apt-get install playonlinux23:38
DMAsetuid: just a theory: perhaps there are some weird configs in sshd_config23:38
Bassemgbaker_, is apt-get working in ubuntu 16 or apt only23:38
preciseboth23:38
DMAsetuid: the log you checked was /var/log/sshd or which one?23:38
gbaker_both23:39
setuidThe first login prompts for auth, but as long as I keep that session open, the other ssh's into C are unprompted23:39
preciseSo any ideas for my renaming BASH script?23:39
setuidDMA, /var/log/auth shows nothing obvious, keys are found, etc.23:39
=== support is now known as Guest14558
DMAsetuid: Looks like there's another kind of agent doing the auth, that's why I think there might be another uncommon configuration elsewhere23:40

BootHelphow can i create a custom UEFI boot entry in NVRAM table. "efibootmgr --create"? how do i pass the efi file i want to boot? and not the default elilo.efi23:46
DMAprecise: you might ask in #sed or in #bash23:47
allen___live on a USB flash drive I mean23:47
preciseThanks for the tip DMA, heading there now.23:47
preciseallen___: ubuntu should be able to do that. On Windows look up YUMI USB creator, on Linux look up unetbootin. Check for persistence options.23:48
allen___oh cool, thanks23:48
DMAprecise: and that ".*" regex will match a plain pair of double-quotes; after stripping them you'll end up with a zero-lenth string filename23:49
DMAprecise: second, if you got a file named "part1"-then-"part2" you'll get TWO results from grep (in two different lines) and that'll probably be a problem23:50
checheHow can I find where dash search find the applications? I am unable to find any.23:50
DMAOr maybe not, but you might end up with a two-line-filename file23:50

DMAI know there are better alternatives in BASH but as you're talking about DASH...23:51
chechesorry I am taling about the unity stuff.23:51
allen___awesome minimec, I might try that. Though if there's a distro specifically made for persistent USB installs (like Dream Linux used to be) I'd try that first, because they made sure to minimize writes to the flash drive to reduce wear. I think most things were kept in RAM until shutdown, then saved to disk23:53
checheyou click on the windows symbol on your keyboard. screen gets darked and you are able to type to search for your documents music and applications.23:53
setuidDMA, /etc/ssh/sshd_config is IDENTICAL on both hosts, byte-for-byte23:53
checheI thought that it was called dash search.23:54
minimecallen___: You probably get the most write cicles in /tmp and in the browser cache folder. These are the two I mount into ram. And... this story about USB sticks wearing out is getting 'old' with SSD technology now 'imho'23:55
allen___yeah I know, there's different opinions on that23:56
allen___anyway thanks, I'll look into that :)23:56
DMAsetuid: uhm... I just can think of increasing sshd's verbosity (if possible) and checking again the logs from A->B until B->C. If you got a different behaviour the first and second time, there's gotta be a clue somehere on why23:56
