[00:00] messed up while debugging a cron .... 2nd lesson always use relitive paths until the cron is completed. [00:00] then test. [00:01] gnudoge: 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] hammer25: 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 application [00:01] hammer25: that is a 1337 backup. vry nice. [00:01] gnudoge: ? [00:03] if 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] minimec: I am always amazed at what I do not know ... I have had some - and still do - great teachers . [00:03] hammer25 I think its a great idea [00:04] codepython777: 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 packages [00:04] codepython777: 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] tyrick: Your question ? boot-repair is pretty smart . [00:06] Bashing-om: so? [00:06] gnudoge: 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. [00:07] is that reasonable? [00:07] Bassem: While I am looking at the sources .. let's insure we have operating head room post ' df -h ' df -i '. [00:08] sounds awesome hammer25 [00:08] Bashing-om: what do you mean [00:08] Bashing-om: wise words... [00:08] YankDownUnder: I do exactly that right now, but i 've to get same packages for each of my dependencies? [00:09] gnudoge: 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? [00:10] fdisk can he [00:10] minimec: what to do now [00:10] help or [00:10] I've tried fdisk -l, but it doesnt specify which is boot [00:11] sorry touch is hard to type on. ya. fdisk and look at the options just dont write anything [00:11] SO!.... What Google is saying is there is still no official Google Drive plugin for Linux!?!?!?!? Really!? [00:11] options? [00:11] mutante: is there a way to say - what packages were added at the end of script run? Perhaps I should do a set difference between them, and then use that file? [00:11] ummm checking [00:11] Bashing-om: paste.ubuntu.com/19128534 [00:11] Bassem: 'ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | pastebinit' [00:11] codepython777: yes, what you said. the diff in that file between "before" and "after" [00:12] hammer25: does lsblk help? [00:12] Bashing-om: paste.ubuntu.com/19128593 [00:12] Bassem: The 3rd party directory is good .. show me the main source list ' cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list '.

[00:21] Bashing-om: you want me to make new install? [00:22] Bassem: We do ubuntu support here . There are differences in debian we would not be aware of . If you want our support, install ubuntu . [00:22] Bashing-om: i'm using ubuntu for sure 14.04 lts [00:23] Bassem: I wish " http://paste.ubuntu.com/19128827 " says this is now a debian install . [00:23] Bassem: I don't now what you did to you system... You're good for a fresh installation. I would cosider to create a new USB installation stick and backup the date in your users directory... then go for a fresh installation... [00:24] minimec: god after all that time [00:24] Bassem: All time in on that curve of learning . [00:24] Bassem: At that point you might consider the 16.04 LTS release... [00:24] minimec: is it release already??? [00:25] im on 16.04 i [00:25] !xenial | Bassem [00:25] Bassem: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download at http://www.ubuntu.com/download - Read the release notes at http://ubottu.com/y/xenial [00:25] really like it [00:25] minimec: it all start because i want to update the unity tweak so it will allow me to move the unity bar [00:25] Bassem: Well.. We both learned something today, right? ;) [00:25] minimec: and then every thing crash :( [00:26] Bassem: On fact... I don't know how you got all these debian repositories activated. You did some copy/paste too fast, reading a tutorial... [00:27] minimec: maybe as i said it went crazy today [00:28] minimec: Bassem " deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-updates main : did not happen by accident . [00:28] Bassem: do you have a backup? [00:29] if not Bassem now would be a good time to copy /home to a usb [00:30] gnudoge: im new to ubuntu [00:30] gnudoge: lol, so i changed cmdline.txt and rebooted, and it freaked out and couldnt find root. I'm going to have to format the sd card on my laptop :P [00:30] gnudoge: i'm downloading now v 16 and will come here to lep me install it i dont want to crash my windows as well [00:30] Bassem: If you boot a 16.04 installation stick, you will be able to backup your files using 'try ubuntu' [00:31] minimec: ok === sul-fyr is now known as sulfyr [00:31] Bassem: You just need another device to backup to, like another usb stick or an external hdd. [00:31] when i was new i broke my hard disk. fsck fail. then disk failed from then on. i lost everything and i then understood freedom. [00:33] minimec: i really have nothing to back up i dont use it that much..it's still as i install it the first time..only got unity tweak and that happen [00:35] Bassem: Ok. So no problem... Try to stay with the official repositories. Don't install ppa's if you don't really need them.

[01:36] Wardz: if you use bridged mode networking in the VM, it will be on the same network as the host. Does that help?

[01:39] casbeki: "sudo" [01:41] casbeki: to run command with root access: sudo + command [01:41] There are some operations I attempt that tell me I need root access. [01:41] casbeki: to change to the root user: sudo su [01:41] I'm looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html [01:41] casbeki: just run the command you are trying to use, with a "sudo" in the beginning [01:41] Is there a reason it doesn't mention Network Manager at all? I'm confused as to what circumstances cause /etc/networks/... to be used. [01:42] casbeki: http://askubuntu.com/questions/515198/how-to-run-terminal-as-root [01:42] THanks a lot, it worked [01:42] casbeki: Fair enough [01:43] is there a significant difference in using sudo apt install as opposed to sudo apt-get install? [01:43] no [01:43] so just using apt assumes apt-get [01:44] Having to type four extra characters. [01:44] thanks, that may delay carpal tunnel syndrome. [01:44] cwolford: no, they're different frontend programs to the same backend [01:44] front-ends are named apt, apt-get, aptitude, etc. backends are named APT and (underneath APT) dpkg [01:44] thanks, dax and YankDownUnder [01:45] linux = so much to learn [01:45] cwolford: May the god of toast bless you with few crumbs [01:45] hahahaha [01:52] I'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 partition [01:52] I usually just back up ~/ [01:52] that's home [01:52] so yeah, if you didn't put stuff elsewhere, you don't need to back up stuff elsewhere. [01:53] which is a bit tautological, but i guess means there's probably not some thing you need that you don't know about [01:53] Yeah that's what I'm thinking [01:53] Hello === anonymous is now known as Guest31993 [01:54] whether hacking using a Linux -based OS can use a modem ( not router ) [01:54] ??

[01:57] ok, 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 page [01:57] (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.

Kinda in a fix here [02:00] ask [02:00] swolf what's your question? [02:01] Hey 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 parti [02:01] tion 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] my current partition: http://imgur.com/RKTQk6W [02:02] swolf: What is contained in /dev/sda4? [02:03] I'm not sure, the file system is unknown and has a flag of bios_grub [02:03] forgx and the partition is only 1MB [02:04] cwage: what? [02:04] cwolford* (sorry cwage) [02:04] forgx i was just adding to swolf's info [02:04] swolf: I'm not an expert, but it's probably kali's grub [02:05] assuming it is kali's grub, then there won't be any problem deleting that as i'm deleting kali. right? [02:06] and even if i don't delete it it should not matter as I use the Ubuntu's grub [02:06] swolf, nope, not if you're getting rid of kali and it *is* kali's grub [02:06] I assume that, yeah. But I'm not an expert hahaha [02:07] cwolford: so I can delete it along with Kali right? [02:07] swolf sure you can. [02:07] swolf but i'm no expert either [02:07] ;) [02:07] swolf, 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 Ubuntu [02:07] swolf: 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 resizing [02:07] thank you so much cwolford and forgx [02:08] swolf, hold your thanks until it you don't screw anything up lol [02:10] yea, 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.

I don't want to tell you to delete it and then be wrong though :) === goddard_ is now known as goddard [02:13] blndidiot: same here, i googled for it; got nothing, asked around on reddit; got nothing. So this is the best I have got so far :P [02:13] well if you use google's Verbatim feature it's easier to find info about boot_grub [02:13] there is some info out there, but not a whole lot [02:16] blndidiot: 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] swolf: 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 on [02:17] your ubuntu partition should be fine [02:17] yup I was just about to add the same thing [02:18] alright guys, off I go with my experiment. I'll update if everything goes smoothly (assuming you guys are still around) [02:18] Hello? Anyone? [02:19] swolf: [02:20] you 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 it [02:20] just thought I would throw that in before you got started [02:20] blndidiot: noted [02:21] hope all goes well, good luck [02:21] blndidiot: thanks again [02:31] guys I got itunes working w/ wine, but when I connect an ipad and scan for devices, itunes doesn't recognize it.

[04:09] ok [04:11] rypervenche: I think therein lies my issue, the fdisk didn't return that disk ID [04:11] brohan: You probably didn't type it correctly. type "sudo blkid" [04:12] and pastebin it [04:12] rypervenche: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19144807/ [04:13] Ah, found it [04:13] brohan: sudo fsck /dev/sda10 [04:14] Ah, you're root already, good good. [04:14] rypervenche: Here's the result, continue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/19144913/ [04:15] Yep. [04:15] brohan: You will likely have to say yes to many of them. [04:15] brohan: If there are too many of them, we can stop the fsck and rerun it telling it to say yes to them all. [04:16] I am on pass 5 [04:16] rypervenche: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19145009/ [04:17] Nice. So you're good now. Want to see if the hard drive is going bad before rebooting? [04:17] sure [04:17] smartctl -t short /dev/sda [04:18] It should tell you to wait for 2 minutes or so. [04:20] hi all, broken macbook pro (old - 2008 I think) ripped out the HDD and replaced it with a western digital 500GB - but... it seems to be write only [04:20] can't write to it using gparted [04:20] also, using ubuntu live cd [04:20] brokendr, error messages? [04:20] cf, yes, write error to dev/sda === csyogi1 is now known as csyogi [04:21] cfhowlett also, if i mess with it in parted it seems to disappear [04:21] brokendr, I think I have seen similar error with USBs. select it, delete the partition, execute. make a new partition table. [04:22] cfhowlett, yep, seems that that still requires write permissions [04:23] cfhowlett, I know nothing though, assume I am a 5 year old - but not one that understands stuff [04:23] :) [04:23] brohan: Did it say that message? [04:23] rypervenche: yes, did say it could take 2 minutes, still waiting [04:24] brokendr, OK then. gparted is the pretty picture for people who do not use terminal commands. I would suggest you use the terminal instead [04:24] cfhowlett, but I am having better luck with command line [04:24] yep [04:24] brohan: Oh sorry. I didn't explain very well, lol. Ok, type: smartctl -A /dev/sda and pastebin it. [04:24] brokendr, perfect. use sudo fdisk to delete the current parts, and then then create a new part table. [04:24] brokendr: i told you already, your drive is busted [04:24] also, does anyone know how to get wifi working [04:25] Ben64, different HDD [04:25] this is number 3 now [04:25] ?? brokendr one issue at a time please. [04:25] sorry cfhowlett, I'm working off 2 machines [04:25] rypervenche: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19145500/ [04:26] back again with my scanner issue. is anyone available to possibly look at a file but mainly help me with the process of an install or a configure and make? [04:26] brohan: Stop using the disk and get a replacement ASAP. [04:27] brokendr: maybe you have another hardware issue preventing proper access to drives [04:27] brohan: You can probably salvage a good bit, if not all, but don't use it until you copy the data to the new drive. [04:27] Hey I'm having a problem with my Python2.7 not being installed with the --enable-shared flag ... [04:27] bump from [13:09] - any help please? [04:27] Does anyone know how I can install it with the --enable-shared flag set? [04:28] dalto: just repeat the question [04:28] So I have installed 16.04 in a Workstation 12 VM and am trying to get compiz-reloaded happening properly - I have followed the instructions here: http://blog.northfield.ws/compiz-release-announcement-0-8-12/ ....up to Step 5 (verify running) but am getting error... ImportError: No module named gi ... I have run: apt-cache search python gobject but am not sure which to install to get this working properly - any help appreciated [04:28] Ben64, I thought it might be the cabling but I've pulled this machine apart and wrapped it inflation tape, and it seems to see the drive, until I try to write to it, (mind you only if I'm using Parted - otherwise it sees it, and it stays, but i can't change permissions on it [04:28] I'm in need of some help :( [04:29] Ben64, there seems to be some kind of - spellcheck going on there [04:29] brokendr: yeah that doesn't sound good [04:29] !ask | fourcolors, [04:29] fourcolors,: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:29] rypervenche: Will do. When I get said drive, I suppose that I will partition for / /boot /swap and /home. How do I the transfer my exisiting home dir to a fresh Ubuntu install? [04:29] brohan: You can copy the disk completely to a new one if you get one that is the same size. [04:30] brohan: And you can simply replace it without doing anything else, if that is the case. [04:30] full error: File "/usr/bin/ccsm", line 30, in import gi ImportError: No module named gi - how to get working? [04:30] cfhowlett: I already asked my question [04:30] fourcolors, ah, then please be patient [04:31] i love how helpful and active the linux community is. [04:31] rypervenche: Thank you [04:31] another reason i'm trying to completely switch over from windows. [04:31] brohan: And I would use ddrescue to do the copy. [04:32] Ben64 - i would think that if it were the cable, then it would stay broken, not start OK then break when i try to read or write from the drive [04:32] brokendr: ok then you have two broken drives [04:32] Ben64, 3 [04:32] Ben64 or macs for some reason mount as write only [04:33] sorry read only [04:34] brohan: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Ddrescue#Disk_to_disk and http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Ddrescue#Kernel_2.6.3.2B_.26_ddrescue_1.4.2B [04:35] thanks rypervenche [04:35] ps, got wifi going [04:35] Oh, same person >< [04:36] not same person [04:37] Ben64, there is no dada that i care for on this disk, its new (well had PS4 OS on it prior) but had never booted in a PS4 - came out before i even plugged that bad boy in [04:37] ok? [04:38] back again with my scanner issue. is anyone available to possibly look at a file but mainly help me with the process of an install or a configure and make? [04:38] just saying, I'm open to doing anything to make this machine work, not precious about any data [04:38] !make | cwolford [04:38] cwolford: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) [04:39] lotuspsychje i'm not sure i need to do a make, i'm confused about what i need to do. i may need to do an install, but i may need to do a make. the readme file confused me. [04:40] cwolford: perhaps sharing the details of what you really need would be usefull to the channel, ubuntu version,scanner type,..etc [04:41] brokendr: you need to get new cables or something [04:43] it's a bit of a long story which is why i didn't post it all. however, i'm running 16.04 64bi, canon pixma mp560 multifunction printer (printer works perfectly, trying to get scanner to work). i was told this printer/scanner wasn't on the "officially supported list" but i found some documentation. i'm downloaded a sane-pixma-backend tar.gz file and extracted it. now i'm confused as to what i'm supposed to do. [04:48] doh [04:49] i've been fiddling with this for a few days now. at one point, while connected to USB, the XSane image scanner application saw the scanner and then the application disappeared. i powered off the scanner and then the Xsane application popped up on the screen again. from what i understand, the driver installation that i performed before didn't have all the necessary dependencies which may have been deprecated. [04:50] Ben64 we have made progress, it sees the drive, i ran rescue START END and it found nothing [04:52] it sees 3 partitions, 512mb refi, 461gb linux fs and 3.8gig linux swap [04:53] howdy [04:53] Kdenlive doesn't blend in with any of my themes.

[05:22] i have a doubt about running lxc/lxd and docker at the same time in my box [05:22] i know that both look like the same [05:23] CountryfiedLinux sounds cosmetic in nature....maybe find a new theme or maybe you'll grow to like the look of it...beauty is in the eye of the beholder [05:23] but for long running lxc/lxd makes sense. Docker is more like a epheremal right?

Right now I am simply dd'ing my home partition. My current drive has 6 original Windoze partitions, and 4 Linux. With my new drive I plan on only install Linux [06:03] rypervenche: That being said, I figure i can just dd the home partition, and then reinstall a fresh Linux. Any reason why I wouldn't want to do that? === NoobsFlyRNAV is now known as NoobsFlyVFR [06:09] While I am creating an sha1sum on a drive for later verification (unmounted), may I also dd that drive?
