| matey | *I am noob.* I am trying to compile a kernel without btintel but I compiled w/out networksupport>bluetooth subsystem> bluetooth devicedrivers>intel protocol but btintel still compiled thanks in advance for the hlep | 00:07 |
| nacc | matey: why are you trying to compile a kernel without btintel? | 00:08 |
| matey | conflict with broadcom driver | 00:08 |
| asunder | I installed ubuntu 16.04 via USB drive and now the USB drive no longer loads on boot (my laptop goes straight to grub). Any ideas? I haven't changed anything in the bios: USB is still first in the boot order. | 00:08 |
| gti | helo | 00:08 |
| nacc | matey: so just blacklist the driver? | 00:08 |
| nacc | !blacklist | matey | 00:08 |
| ubottu | matey: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist.conf and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 00:08 |

| matey | ty i will report back | 00:10 |
| matey | CONFIG_BT_INTEL=m | 00:13 |
| nacc | matey: afaict, you need to disable both "Intel protocol support" and "Intel AG6XX protocol support" for BT_INTEL to be off. | 00:13 |
| nacc | matey: right, it's not a visible simple in menuconfig | 00:13 |
| nacc | matey: so you'll first need to disable the two I just said (BT_HCIUART_INTEL and BT_HCIUART_AG6XX) and then disable BT_INTEL (and then run `make oldconfig` to ensure the changes took) | 00:13 |
| matey | Intel AG6XX? So i cannot menuconfig? | 00:14 |
| nacc | *symbol | 00:14 |
| nacc | matey: you could try with menuconfig for those two symbols | 00:14 |
| nacc | matey: i'm not usre it will automatically disable BT_INTEL just because it's not been 'selected', though | 00:14 |

| ohcrudohcrudohcr | I have an SSD with an enrypted installation of Ubuntu 16.04. Being stupid I deleted a 513MB parition at the begining of the drive and it wiped out the reference? to the LVM with my data on it. Please tell me this can be fixed. I don't care about the install I can redo I just want the data | 00:19 |
| ohcrudohcrudohcr | I'm running sudo gpart /dev/sda now and so far see Possible partition(Linux ext2), size(487mb), offset(1mb). How can I access the LVM? I had no idea the 513MB parition would affect the encrypted LVM. | 00:21 |
| frostschutz | ohcrudohcrudohcr, if it's just a problem with the partition table, testdisk might help you. can you show output of `sudo file -s /dev/sda*`? | 00:22 |
| YankDownUnder | ohcrudohcrudohcr: Might get some hints here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/588530/recover-the-directory-structure-of-a-lost-lvm-logical-volume | 00:22 |
| matey | is xconfig more detailed than menuconfig? | 00:23 |
| frostschutz | ohcrudohcrudohcr, deleting one partition should not affect the others, unless you decide to move/resize the other partitions as well (as gparted might do) | 00:23 |

| setuid | nacc, while this is building, another one for you... I can't seem to figure out a way to get preseed to work with a local .iso file + preseed (withOUT remastering the .iso) | 00:43 |
| setuid | I can only seem to get it working by pointing to my local Ubuntu mirror | 00:43 |

| matey | can i just hash it out? | 00:45 |
| ohcrudohcrudohcr | Is there a problem in a update being pushed out? I've updated two different encrypted LVM Ubuntu installations today and after rebooting all I get is a BusyBox prompt on both. | 00:45 |
| setuid | ERROR Only one install method can be used (--location URL, --cdrom CD/ISO, --pxe, --import, --boot hd|cdrom|...) | 00:46 |
| nacc | matey: yes, you need to comment it out, but you also need to comment out the symbols that select it, which I already told you | 00:48 |
| nacc | setuid: i believe for a local iso image, you'd use --cdrom? or, you'd need to, as you said, put the preseed on the iso (really in the initrd of the iso, iirc) | 00:49 |

| setuid | So weird, it uses the preseed file, boots from the iso, but even with "apt-setup/no_mirror boolean true", it reaches upstream and downloads all the packages anyway | 01:24 |
| setuid | ...thus ignoring the packages in the iso | 01:24 |

| setuid | This same exact command I'm using, works flawlessly on 14.04 to install 14.04 | 02:11 |
| mkultra | maybe because being on 14.04 you already have all the prerequisites to build said machine | 02:12 |

| mkultra | I doubt that's your problem. I think it's just isn't finding your iso | 02:32 |
| mkultra | you could omit that altogether to see if it spins up your vm. but I doubt that that's it | 02:34 |
| setuid | Hrm... but the iso is on local disk, and the path is correct | 02:35 |
| setuid | also, can't use --extra-args with --cdrom, but that's precisely the combination I need | 02:35 |
| setuid | Otherwise the preseed is no better than a manual, interactive install | 02:36 |

| theskillwithin | sorry | 03:26 |
| mladoux | Jerry_Smooth, probably the feds | 03:26 |
| plop_its_ellie | theskillwithin, you can just write the iso to a usb stick | 03:26 |
| plop_its_ellie | boot from there and install on your machine | 03:27 |
| theskillwithin | I know but I dont seem to have a usb stick around | 03:27 |

| theskillwithin | I wish you could just use osx to write it to the partition directly =[ | 03:28 |

| plop_its_ellie | if you can then go to a nearby store and buy one | 03:29 |
| plop_its_ellie | usb sticks are super cheap | 03:29 |
| theskillwithin | well im going to be searching my whole house for an old usb stick now =\ | 03:29 |
| Jerry_Smooth | Any suggestions for a terminal browser? | 03:29 |
| theskillwithin | wait....... why am i not using the iso, why am i using this (http://www.etcg.pw/#vid bootable drive maker for mac) to make the usb boot install | 03:30 |
| theskillwithin | should i just forget about that and just use the iso? | 03:30 |
| theskillwithin | kinda odd tho cuz then why does the other one exist | 03:30 |
| plop_its_ellie | you can just use dd to make a bootable usb stick with the iso | 03:31 |
| theskillwithin | dd? | 03:31 |
| theskillwithin | oh maybe it just does the same thing as an iso burn, but just does it for you | 03:31 |
| theskillwithin | hmm ubuntu website has a seperate page for download for developers, so I would want that iso then? | 03:32 |
| reisio | it can | 03:32 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: link? | 03:32 |
| theskillwithin | http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/developers | 03:33 |
| theskillwithin | oh its prob the same thing | 03:33 |
| theskillwithin | but I am a web dev, moving from osx to ubuntu so developer setup would be important to me | 03:33 |
| reisio | I would guess it's the same thing | 03:34 |
| reisio | at most, however, even if it weren't, it would merely have certain slightly different preinstalled packages and preconfigurations | 03:34 |
| reisio | nothing you couldn't get to from any other version | 03:34 |
| theskillwithin | also i noticed the thing i was using was downloading v 16, but the download on ubuntu is v 14 | 03:35 |
| theskillwithin | 14 is stable, but meh iv been known to embrace the cutting edge so might want 16 | 03:35 |
| reisio | if you're doing a new install, I'd go with 16, it's the latest major version | 03:35 |
| theskillwithin | ahh | 03:35 |
| reisio | no, Ubuntu has no stable branch | 03:35 |
| reisio | 14 is older | 03:35 |
| theskillwithin | oohhh i just noticed it is using 16 | 03:35 |
| theskillwithin | so on osx, I use vagrant to run my websites like magento so i can develop locally. ubuntu this might be more native maybe should use docker? | 03:36 |
| ucijp | 14 is mostly security updates at this point | 03:36 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: mostly personal preference I'd say | 03:37 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: I doubt you'd want to use hardware virtualization with either | 03:37 |
| theskillwithin | ahhh it all makes sense now I was prob using ubuntu 14 for my magento2 web servers and got mixed up about the versions | 03:37 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: both can use non-hardware virtualization stuff, though | 03:37 |
| Jordan-EVO | Ive locked my self out my VPS xD | 03:37 |
| reisio | Jordan-EVO: gj | 03:38 |
| theskillwithin | I think i used debian for magento 1, and before that centos | 03:38 |
| Jordan-EVO | https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04 | 03:38 |
| Jordan-EVO | I was following this then my ftp lost connection then i rebooted the server now i cant connect | 03:38 |
| theskillwithin | reisio very interesting, so maybe an added bonus here, as a web dev, well I could just setup the web server locally on my system purley without vagrant? | 03:39 |
| theskillwithin | but well vagrant I kinda got to fool around with diff configurations and got to test configs before making changes on live, here all my changes would effect every site using either nginx or apache | 03:40 |
| theskillwithin | i just have no idea | 03:40 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: oh yeah; vagrant and docker are for the most part, as I understand it, frontends & glue for other more specific/rudimentary/simple technologies | 03:40 |
| theskillwithin | linux services should be a required class in college | 03:40 |
| reisio | heh | 03:40 |
| reisio | would be good if they exposed childrens to Unix systems | 03:40 |
| theskillwithin | if I was in charge I think every school would be at risk of swithcing everything to linux | 03:41 |
| reisio | but I don't suppose the financial lobbying of some OS companies would stand for it much :p | 03:41 |
| reisio | so anyway, if you're content with vagrant, no harm sticking to it; just avoid hardware virtualization with it | 03:41 |
| theskillwithin | I would also send a secret agent to film kim jun in north korea wth (graphic details left out here) | 03:41 |
| theskillwithin | I love vagrant, but... takes up a lot of space... also initial load takes a long time. | 03:41 |
| theskillwithin | so my default would be to stick with that to be on the safe side | 03:42 |
| theskillwithin | hardware virtualization? i just use it with cli. but idk what virtualization is | 03:42 |
| pezdispenser | Hi I've been looking to be able to stream my desktop as source, in for say, skype or in chatrooms, apps for windows such as xsplit and manycam offer this, but for ages i cannot seem to get this for linux, anyone know how to go about this | 03:43 |
| theskillwithin | im prob good on that area by the default settings | 03:43 |
| theskillwithin | skype is kind of innefiencent | 03:43 |
| sponix | pezdispenser: Check and see if there is OBS for Linux (Open Broadcast System) | 03:44 |
| theskillwithin | stream desktop source? | 03:44 |
| pezdispenser | yes, stream my desktop instead of my webcam on skype etc | 03:44 |
| theskillwithin | oh dang thats a good question. even recording. on osx I use screenflow to record tutorials.... so maybe id get something on linux for that as well. but streaming ur screen hmmm that would be cool. there is no skype on linux? no teamviewer? btw I am a fan of codekit paid plane you can interact dynamicly with people on that but not answer to ur q | 03:46 |
| theskillwithin | codepen* | 03:46 |
| plop_its_ellie | open boradcaster | 03:46 |
| plop_its_ellie | there is skype and teamviewer | 03:46 |
| theskillwithin | wow it does BOTH | 03:47 |
| pezdispenser | there is skype and teamviewer yes... | 03:47 |
| theskillwithin | AND ITS FREE? | 03:47 |
| pezdispenser | i wish to stream my desktop as source, skype has the option to show desktop, but i cannot stream my desktop on websites and chat rooms etc, | 03:47 |
| pezdispenser | im reading into obs | 03:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | theskillwithin, yea they are free | 03:47 |
| theskillwithin | what have I been doing my whole life | 03:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | though teamviewer has a paid tier | 03:47 |
| plop_its_ellie | and skype you are paying with your data | 03:48 |
| theskillwithin | I spend 8K on a mac pro desktop | 03:48 |
| plop_its_ellie | jesus crist | 03:48 |
| theskillwithin | if you do computer games lol skype chat is a disaster for voice lol. they have better ways | 03:48 |
| * reisio reads up | 03:49 | |
| plop_its_ellie | you can get something thats much better spec and up to date than a mac pro for a fraction of the price | 03:49 |
| plop_its_ellie | what a ripoff | 03:49 |
| plop_its_ellie | theskillwithin, theres discord and mumble | 03:49 |
| plop_its_ellie | as well | 03:49 |
| theskillwithin | YES | 03:50 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: vagrant (et al.) cover lots of "virtual" options; you wouldn't want the entirely unnecessary overhead (resources & space) of hardware virtualization, but some of the other approaches would be fine (lxc) | 03:50 |
| theskillwithin | before that it was teamspeak | 03:50 |
| theskillwithin | discord is the most recent one | 03:50 |
| theskillwithin | reisio ahh | 03:50 |
| theskillwithin | if you run skype during your game, pretty sure you will lag | 03:50 |
| theskillwithin | dang so excited to install ubuntu and now cant find usb stick, and my external hdd doesnt work | 03:55 |
| theskillwithin | hmm ubuntu gives me amd download even tho i am on intel mac machine | 04:04 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: 'amd64' is the original (public) name for x86_64 | 04:05 |
| reisio | you might well want a 64-bit x86 image for mac specifically, though, if there are such things | 04:05 |
| reisio | I'm afraid I don't follow mac media much | 04:05 |
| reisio | most likely any x86_64 image will technically suffice | 04:06 |
| reisio | but presumably the reason mac-specific images exist is because they are preconfigured to be more ideal for mac hardware | 04:06 |
| reisio | so... | 04:06 |
| orlock | And remove any requirement to right click? | 04:06 |
| * orlock ducks | 04:06 | |
| reisio | site confirms either _should_ work | 04:08 |
| reisio | orlock: heheh | 04:08 |
| n3ss_ | is it possible for ubuntu to use DNS in the same way that virtually every OS/linux distro is capable? | 04:08 |
| reisio | just got a new job, gave me a big mac, with a magic mouse | 04:08 |
| reisio | think I'm going to have to replace the mouse | 04:08 |
| reisio | never was a fan, still amn't | 04:08 |
| reisio | 's'okay I'm sure someone else will want it | 04:08 |
| reisio | n3ss_: sure | 04:08 |
| n3ss_ | long story short: DHCP serves my local DNS server | 04:09 |
| n3ss_ | local DNS server has entry for my.domain.com, pointing to a host on my LAN | 04:09 |
| n3ss_ | ubuntu being the special snowflake takes about 2 minutes to resolve anything local after i first try to acecss it, if i'm lucky | 04:10 |
| reisio | theskillwithin: think +mac images may have been discontinued for being unnecessary (oblivious to plain amd64), but don't quote me on that | 04:11 |
| n3ss_ | i configured /etc/nsswitch.conf to use DNS first but it hasn't changed the behavior at all. | 04:12 |
| reisio | n3ss_: not that here isn't fine, but #ubuntu-server, or even ##linux might have a higher percentage of users more familiar with such things | 04:13 |
| n3ss_ | it's an ubuntu specific thing, i may try ubuntu-server but i am running on a desktop | 04:13 |
| reisio | n3ss_: yes certainly | 04:16 |
| n3ss_ | i think i'm thinking of dnsmasq | 04:16 |
| reisio | it's just I think a lower percentage of people in here will have dealt with that, than in -server or ##linux | 04:16 |
| * reisio shrugs | 04:16 | |
| n3ss_ | fair enough. thanks | 04:18 |
| thingone | hello! | 04:21 |
| thingone | I need help with wine to run metatrader. | 04:21 |
| n3ss_ | edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, comment out #dns=dnsmasq; restart NetworkManager | 04:22 |
| n3ss_ | and it's fixed | 04:22 |
| n3ss_ | just incase anyone wonders how to fix what i was just whining about | 04:24 |
| n3ss_ | also apt-get purge dnsmasq-base | 04:25 |
| reisio | nice | 04:26 |
| reisio | for posterity ftw | 04:26 |

| oem | can someone help troubleshoot my optical audio? | 05:23 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | oem | 05:24 |
| ubottu | oem: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 05:24 |
| oem | I am in 16.04 I plug in my optical cable, but there is no sound. pavucontrol sees it, but no sound | 05:27 |
| YankDownUnder | oem: What desktop are you using - the default Unity, or KDE or Cinnamon or Mate? | 05:28 |
| oem | K | 05:29 |
| YankDownUnder | oem: In the lower right hand corner of the screeen - in the system tray, you should see an icon that is for sound/audio - do you see that? | 05:29 |
| oem | yes | 05:30 |
| YankDownUnder | oem: And you've double-checked all of the "levels" for the different devices in that "control", yes? | 05:31 |
| anddam | I'm trying to run zerofree on a ubuntu vbox guest, I started single mode and tried to remount root in ro but keep getting "/ is busy", I checked http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/42015/mount-is-busy-when-trying-to-mount-as-read-only-so-that-i-can-run-zerofree the lsof suggested command only shows dhclient while fuser shows a lot of commands | 05:31 |
| oem | yeah | 05:31 |
| oem | 100% | 05:31 |
| anddam | question: is there a proper (and possibly straightforward) way to remount root in ro? | 05:32 |
| quizzy85 | if that does not work open a termal and type alsamixer | 05:32 |
| lotuspsychje | !mount | anddam | 05:33 |
| ubottu | anddam: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 05:33 |
| oem | im in alsamixer | 05:33 |
| anddam | lotuspsychje: no mention of readonly | 05:34 |
| oem | s/pdif isnt muted | 05:34 |
| anddam | lotuspsychje: if it was intended as general introduction to mount that's too broad, I've been using linux systems for several years, I'm just new to ubuntu | 05:35 |
| anddam | actually I figure this is somehow related to systemd | 05:35 |
| anddam | that I'm not particularly fond of | 05:35 |
| prodix | hey | 05:37 |

| quizzy85 | sorry afk | 05:38 |
| oem | maybe its my receiver? | 05:38 |
| oem | I dont think so tho | 05:39 |
| lotuspsychje | anddam: do you have other services that need to be stopped perhaps? | 05:40 |
| anddam | lotuspsychje: I'm figuring which one, I started single | 05:41 |
| Norbin | ubuntu 16.04, google chrome seem to always stay on top. if i have it open and then click on another open program icon from the taskbar, i can see in the background that the program "comes up" but chrome is still on top, kinda annoying. | 05:41 |
| lotuspsychje | anddam: some answers at bottom here: https://dantwining.co.uk/2011/07/18/how-to-shrink-a-dynamically-expanding-guest-virtualbox-image/ | 05:41 |
| anddam | lsof / | awk '$4 ~ /[0-9].*w/' only shows dhclient | 05:42 |
| nanotaka | hi guys. I have a dumb question Id like some clarity on | 05:42 |
| anddam | that I'm not sure a) how to stop and b) why is it running since we're in single mode | 05:42 |
| Norbin | okey, always on top was checked. lol | 05:42 |
| Norbin | didn't know that's an option even | 05:42 |
| Norbin | finally, was SO annoying | 05:43 |
| lotuspsychje | nanotaka: ask in channel | 05:43 |
| anddam | how's the service for dhclient called? | 05:43 |
| nanotaka | My laptop is using 16GB of ram, however im not sure if im reading this correctly. | 05:43 |
| nanotaka | free -m | 05:43 |
| nanotaka | total used free shared buff/cache available | 05:43 |
| nanotaka | Mem: 15963 9363 179 482 6420 5680 | 05:43 |
| anddam | lotuspsychje: oh nvm,I stopped "networking" absolute shot in the dark and it killed the dhclient process | 05:44 |
| nanotaka | its free and available is different | 05:44 |
| Norbin | nanotaka: remember that all of your buff/cache is in a way also free. | 05:45 |
| anddam | and that free means basically "wasted" | 05:45 |
| nanotaka | oh, i understand. So rather just look at buff/cache in the future. Thank you guys very much | 05:46 |
| lotuspsychje | nanotaka: and with 16gig ram on ubuntu, you should not worry for nothing | 05:46 |
| quizzy85 | nanotaka: wish i had 16gig ram on my lappy | 05:47 |
| Blue1 | Why? My servers run fine on 4G | 05:48 |
| quizzy85 | Blue1: cause this oldie has only 1 | 05:49 |
| nanotaka | its a TuxeDo. So other than that, it doesnt have a dedicated GPU and compiling drivers took some time. | 05:49 |
| Blue1 | quizzy85: i run xubuntu on 1G ram. You might look at a raspberry pi - they only have 1G of ram - about $50 -- works well. | 05:56 |
| Blue1 | quizzy85: sorry - ubuntumate | 05:56 |
| stephen_ab | i want to reinstall ubuntu. Can I just change copy /usr/bin/apps directory to save to some hdd and move after reinstalling? | 05:58 |
| ax562 | no | 05:58 |
| stephen_ab | why? | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | stephen_ab: you need to save /etc/ and /home/ then go for it. | 05:58 |
| Blue1 | I have re_install scripts that re_install stuff after doing a fresh install. | 05:59 |
| stephen_ab | i have to copy /etc/ and /home not /usr/bin/apps? | 05:59 |
| kali_yuga | anybody using Mate desktop enviroment? | 05:59 |
| Blue1 | stephen_ab: no -- that is not wise. | 05:59 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: yes | 06:00 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: on a raspberry pi | 06:00 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: is it good? | 06:00 |
| stephen_ab | can you give me the script? Blue1 | 06:00 |
| kali_yuga | I'm thinking about switching from kde | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: I have only had 1 issue with it -- it won't perform lspci and therefore can't install chromium - but it's fine otherwise. | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | stephen_ab: just a sec | 06:01 |
| Blue1 | stephen_ab: http://www.pkill-9.com/simple-bash-script-re-install-programmes-fresh-linux-install/ | 06:02 |
| stephen_ab | thanks mate | 06:02 |
| Blue1 | stephen_ab: comment/uncomment what you need/dont need -- welcome | 06:02 |
| YankDownUnder | kali_yuga: "Mate" is quite all right - minimal - but has heaps of bells and whistles, too...not as much "eye candy" as KDE, but hey, it's all about what you feel the most comfortable with. There were issues earlier this year with the "panel" taking up heaps too much memory, but all of that has been fixed in upgrades. You can check in #ubuntu-mate channel for more information or for answers to questions... | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | YankDownUnder: I do NOT like the new KDE -- | 06:04 |
| Blue1 | Yes we can take offtopic if you would like. | 06:05 |
| YankDownUnder | Blue1: Fair enough...and you've added the "backports" to get the latest Plasma 5.6.4 as well? | 06:05 |
| Blue1 | yes | 06:05 |
| stephen_ab | and it sucks | 06:05 |
| stephen_ab | i have 5.6.5 | 06:05 |
| Blue1 | my biggest issues is that any programme I manually install, like chrome, I must go to /usr/share/applications -- copy the .desktop to ~/Desktop/ -- | 06:06 |
| hateball | What issues with Plasma are you having that can't be solved? | 06:06 |
| stephen_ab | http://askubuntu.com/questions/798651/kubuntu-acting-weird-after-upgrading-to-plasma-5-6-5 | 06:06 |
| Blue1 | hateball: see above -- some programmes it won't let me add to the desktop -- I can only add it to favourites | 06:06 |
| Blue1 | like gedit....and the nice little screen it used to have where all the stuff you saved to the desktop -- is now gone - there isn't much distinction between kde and xubuntu now. | 06:07 |
| stephen_ab | yeah | 06:08 |
| hateball | I am not sure I follow | 06:08 |
| hateball | Are you using Desktop view or Folder view, to start with? | 06:08 |
| Blue1 | hateball: folder | 06:08 |
| hateball | Hands off that then :p | 06:08 |
| Blue1 | otherwise -- I have an empty desktop | 06:08 |
| hateball | I use desktop view with a folder plasmoid that displays ~/Desktop | 06:09 |
| kali_yuga | I would like to do this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/08/install-mate-desktop-ubuntu-14-04-lts but I don't like adding repos actually | 06:09 |
| hateball | Blue1: The point with Desktop view is to add plasmoids, such as folder view, or various launchers | 06:09 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: you should be able to download mate -- hang on a sec | 06:09 |
| Blue1 | hateball: yup... | 06:09 |
| kali_yuga | I have 14.04 I know it wasn't supported back then | 06:09 |
| hateball | anyhows, I only use krunner for everything so probably poor reference | 06:09 |
| Blue1 | you can get ubuntumate here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ | 06:10 |
| Blue1 | aah he left... | 06:10 |
| === mcphail_ is now known as mcphail | ||
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: you can download ubuntumate here: https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/ | 06:12 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: yes but then I need to reinstall everything. i was hoping for an sudo apt-get install mate-desktop or something ^^ | 06:12 |
| Blue1 | if you need the raspberry pi ubuntu mate -- that is on the rasperrypi.org site | 06:12 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: you have mate, you have a re-install script - what more do you want? | 06:13 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: I don't have an rapberry pi ^^ | 06:13 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: just make sure you copy /etc/ and /home/ first | 06:13 |
| Blue1 | and I have scripts for that too. | 06:14 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: copying my home folder would take forever | 06:14 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: than just mount it as long as it is in a separate partition | 06:14 |
| === vinleod is now known as vdamewood | ||
| Blue1 | i have / in one partition, and /home in another partition | 06:14 |
| kali_yuga | my system is also lvm encrypted | 06:15 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: I have not encountered that -- so I can't say - not of my systems are encrypted | 06:15 |
| kali_yuga | yes with lvm it's always a little more problematic | 06:16 |
| Blue1 | yup -- but not impossible -- I use lvm for /home | 06:16 |
| kali_yuga | all my files are stored on my external. I can reinstall and put my files back on easily. but I need to download all my games from steam a.e again | 06:17 |
| Blue1 | Yup...I don't do games -- Actually if they made a 4Meg video card -- I'd be peachy | 06:18 |
| Blue1 | except for streaming hidef stuff now. otherwise -- that would work fine -- I don't do any gaming. | 06:18 |
| kali_yuga | me neither lately | 06:19 |
| Blue1 | I wonder if I still have any old pci video cards? egads, I am old. | 06:19 |
| kali_yuga | your just using your raspberry pi? | 06:20 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: yup -- again more video than I need -- I can't stream will with ubuntumate -- so I may go to kodi and see if I can get the mythtv frontend to work. | 06:21 |
| Blue1 | I think the pi with an external hard drive -- would work well. | 06:22 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: would annoy me over time to work with low specs. | 06:22 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: ask I tell most of my clients -- your patience WILL be rewarded. your impatience will be punished. -- Alton Brown | 06:23 |
| hateball | Blue1: I'm still using the RPi B+ with an external drive, running Kodi since a few years back | 06:23 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: try one - I think you'd be surprised | 06:23 |
| hateball | tho this is quite !ot | 06:23 |
| kali_yuga | well if you don't do gaming they're actually pretty neat. they have dual or quad core i think. | 06:23 |
| Blue1 | hateball: i may have to hit you up later for some tips.... | 06:24 |
| Blue1 | quad | 06:24 |
| Blue1 | i think I am more impressed what the pi does, rather than what it doesn't do. | 06:24 |
| pixel6692 | Hello, is my system f****ng with me? I disabled checking for updates and every day at morning he shows me upgrades in that GUI window... I just like to do it manually, what can I do to totally disable it? | 06:24 |
| kali_yuga | Blue1: aren't they just 30$ or something ^^ | 06:24 |
| pixel6692 | kali_yuga: 35$ I guess | 06:25 |
| Blue1 | kali_yuga: i think they are $35 or so. I paid $50 for mine but it was assembled. | 06:25 |
| hateball | pixel6692: remove the update-manager from autostart, if it is there | 06:25 |
| kali_yuga | pixel6692: I think you can just remove the update manager or not | 06:26 |
| CantankRus | Also use kodi on Pi and use Kore app on android to control | 06:26 |
| Blue1 | and I recommend spending the $3 or so for the mpeg2 decoder | 06:26 |

| Blue1 | actually I think my brain is mush now | 06:28 |
| ptl | howdy, partners | 06:29 |
| ptl | how y'all goin? | 06:29 |
| ptl | can someone educate me on using an unity-like desktop in KDE? I have tried that a couple times in the latest years to no avail. | 06:30 |
| CantankRus | howdy ptl , good of you to mosey on in here. | 06:30 |
| pixel6692 | hmm apt remove update-manager wants to remove ubuntu-desktop soooo, I am not so sure about removing it :D | 06:31 |
| ptl | btw what's the difference between this new apt utility and apt-get? | 06:31 |
| pixel6692 | Progress bar :> | 06:31 |
| ptl | besides that | 06:31 |
| hateball | pixel6692: just disable it from autostarting | 06:32 |
| ptl | is it correct to state that it is kind of a cross between apt-get and aptitude? | 06:32 |
| EriC^^ | ptl: not really | 06:33 |
| EriC^^ | it's more of a better looking more polished apt-get apt-cache apt.. into one package | 06:33 |
| pixel6692 | I guess apt is just around apt-get | 06:33 |
| EriC^^ | with colors and more features (progress bar etc) | 06:33 |
| pixel6692 | or apt-<> | 06:34 |
| pixel6692 | hateball: problem is I dont see it nowhere at autostart | 06:34 |
| ptl | never mind, found it via google/askubuntu | 06:35 |
| ptl | but the more pressing matter to me is the unity-like desktop in KDE. Anyone?: | 06:35 |
| === zz_capri is now known as capri | ||
| CantankRus | pixel6692: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage so all your removing is a list of dependencies...no actual packages | 06:35 |
| hateball | CantankRus: problem is that it sets things to a manual state, so apt-get autoremove *will* | 06:36 |
| pixel6692 | :< | 06:36 |
| hateball | pixel6692: could always find the binary and chmod -x :p | 06:37 |
| * hateball uses Plasma, does not know of Unity and its ways :/ | 06:37 | |
| pixel6692 | :D | 06:38 |
| pixel6692 | will try this :) | 06:38 |
| ptl | I am quite addicted to the Unity paradigm but I use mostly KDE software. So it would be somewhat advantageous for me to change | 06:38 |
| ptl | yakuake, kdenlive, k3b, dolphin, rekonq, besides many qt-based apps | 06:38 |
| ptl | pixel6692: I despise update-manager, usually I just use divert-dpkg to change its executable to /dev/null but lately Ubuntu has changed its way of notifying updates and everytime I do an apt-get update and the likes it annoys me notifying there are updates. | 06:41 |
| ptl | I mean dpkg-divert | 06:41 |
| pixel6692 | I removed execute flag, so I will see :) | 06:41 |
| ptl | there is a new framework in place to take care of updates | 06:42 |
| ptl | layer over layer over layer | 06:42 |
| pixel6692 | which one? | 06:43 |

| pijush | is there any easy way to set the system audio at 24bit, 192000 hz | 06:46 |
| ptl | pijush: you mean to resample every sound going to the soundcard so that it physically outputs as 24 bit, 192 kHz, or setting a default sound quality for all sound software? | 06:49 |

| === ilikepaitingfrie is now known as quizzy85 | ||
| pijush | i'm not a sound expert, but i can say the feel the difference between normal dvd quality sound and studio(24bit,192) quality. I normally use studio quality in windows, so i want to configure the same for ubuntu as primary pc for web dev. | 06:55 |
| pijush | plt | 06:59 |
| ptl | pijush: is that me? | 07:01 |
| hateball | pijush: Are you looking to upsample things or what are you asking? | 07:01 |
| hateball | Audio will be played in whatever bitrates and such it contains | 07:01 |
| pijush | yes | 07:02 |
| pijush | @hateball yes upsample if is the right word. u may notice in the GUI of realtek typically win windows there is a format tab, where you can set the audio format. | 07:06 |
| hateball | Well you can change default rates for pulseaudio, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Setting_the_sound_card.27s_sampling_rate_into_PulseAudio_configuration_.283.2F5.29 | 07:06 |

| hateball | ptl: no idea, I use what works | 07:13 |
| hateball | perhaps you can do it with pavucontrol, but I dont have it installed atm | 07:13 |

| Kirito | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec#Mir_on_HW_Supported_By_Closed_Source_Drivers is this still accurate? Being that Nvidia has released drivers with support for DRM/KMS now, I imagine Nvidia should be usable with Mir (as well as Wayland in that regard), shouldn't it? | 07:34 |
| Kirito | http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverresults.aspx/100577/en-us ah, seems so indeed, interestingg | 07:35 |
| Kirito | ..maybe | 07:39 |
| Kirito | Seems support was added for it in theory, not sure if there are actual libraries available to hook into it yet | 07:39 |
| Kirito | For Wayland there seems to be, not seeing anything on Mir yet | 07:40 |
| Kirito | Well Mir still seems to be in the very early stages of development anyhow, maybe I shouldn't get too excited yet. Though I'm greatly looking forward to the day Xorg can be cast into oblivion | 07:44 |
| Mrokii | Hello. I have a problem that may or may not be related to Kubuntu specifically, but just in case I wanted to ask here. The problem is, after a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04, I can't use German Umlauts anymore. When I try to type them in the terminal, they are printed as "??" and I can't open or save files with names that contain German Umlauts with LibreOffice (and presumably other apps as well, haven't | 07:46 |
| Mrokii | tried). Any ideas what could be wrong? | 07:46 |
| IdleOne | !locales | 07:48 |
| ubottu | To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale/ | 07:48 |
| Mrokii | But I *can* use German Umlauts in LibreOffice and Dolphin, for example. | 07:48 |

| ARUCAL | Is Ubuntu working on a Free Software Replacement Personal assistant similar to Apple's Siri or Microsoft Cortana? | 08:28 |
| YankDownUnder | ARUCAL: Since the inception of "linux", I would tend to argue that most of the folks drawn to linux would prefer to "do it themselves", hmm. | 08:30 |
| ARUCAL | So do you know of anyone doing that? | 08:31 |
| YankDownUnder | ARUCAL: I think you may have misunderstood what I was getting at. | 08:31 |
| ARUCAL | Because I think that we (The Free Software Community) need to have alluring things of our own for people who are using proprietary software to make the switch. | 08:32 |
| ARUCAL | It would be cool if we could build a decentralised personal assistant | 08:33 |
| YankDownUnder | ARUCAL: Here's a great analogy of the whole thing: An Apple person buys a house. A Microsoft person rents/leases a house. A Linux user builds his house using his own plans with his own materials. Does that make sense? | 08:34 |
| ARUCAL | understood | 08:34 |
| ARUCAL | But also The Free Software Community shares houses | 08:35 |
| YankDownUnder | ARUCAL: Therefore, it'll happen when "AI" is dependent on complete decentralisation - when you can run your own "AI" in your own home, using your own machines, your own hardware, your own OSS/EFF software. :) | 08:35 |
| ARUCAL | that would be cool | 08:35 |
| ARUCAL | isn't this what proprietary companies tried in the 90s? | 08:36 |
| YankDownUnder | Proprietary companies - in the 90's - wanted to enslave the end-user and create a bloated market. Which they did. | 08:36 |

| theskillwithin | yea I did all that | 08:43 |
| YankDownUnder | theskillwithin: What about: http://askubuntu.com/questions/688632/dual-boot-mac-el-captain-along-with-ubuntu-14-04 | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | YankDownUnder, dual boot or take the easy way out: OSX + virtualbox + xubuntu or lubuntu. My Dell Developer laptop got sick and I needed an immediate replacement. Picked up a mac air and currently booted into Ubuntustudio via virtualbox. | 08:44 |
| theskillwithin | yea I did the crustil diasble thing too | 08:44 |
| theskillwithin | crutil disavle* | 08:44 |
| theskillwithin | refind seems to be working just fine | 08:45 |
| YankDownUnder | theskillwithin: As was mentioned, the Virtualbox thingo didn't appeal to you? Personally, on my MacbookPro, I run a bevy of different OS's in VBox...easier than dealing with dual-boot/bootcamp...but that's me... | 08:46 |
| theskillwithin | hmm intersting | 08:47 |
| theskillwithin | https://i.imgur.com/4HUXVzu.png so this is the only option in unetbootin | 08:47 |
| theskillwithin | but that is not my usb... | 08:47 |
| theskillwithin | that appears to my un trained eye to be the partition I just created, not the dusk3 usb drive | 08:48 |
| lyrise | #icloud | 08:48 |
| EriC^^ | theskillwithin: what exactly is the problem you're having? | 08:48 |
| k1l | theskillwithin: apple does have dd too. use that. | 08:48 |
| theskillwithin | im starting to think my problem is unetbootin isnt installing it to my usb... but I used another thing earlier that did install it to my usb and same result idk | 08:49 |
| theskillwithin | dd? | 08:49 |
| YankDownUnder | theskillwithin: Use "dd" in the terminal. I've never had any issues with creating bootable USB's with unetbootin on OSX... | 08:49 |
| EriC^^ | theskillwithin: linux seems installed already | 08:50 |
| EriC^^ | theskillwithin: did you try refind to boot the linux efi file? (/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi or shimx64.efi) | 08:50 |
| YankDownUnder | Time to eat. Ciao. | 08:51 |
| theskillwithin | that must be unetbootin cuz that disk0s4 is a partision not a usb so it must have put it there | 08:51 |
| theskillwithin | and that was the only option in unetbootin | 08:51 |
| theskillwithin | disk0s4 | 08:51 |
| EriC^^ | theskillwithin: it could be, you never got the installer and installed linux? | 08:51 |
| theskillwithin | hmm | 08:52 |
| EriC^^ | ? | 08:52 |
| EriC^^ | did you ever boot a live session and chose install ubuntu? | 08:52 |
| k1l | isnt this about creating a ubuntu usb? | 08:52 |
| theskillwithin | i booted and chose every option in refind | 08:53 |
| k1l | because unetbootin doesnt install ubuntu as OS. its for making the live usb system | 08:53 |
| theskillwithin | I also booted using honding down option and selecting my usb, same result, i navigate to install ubuntu then black screen | 08:53 |
| theskillwithin | yea | 08:53 |
| LuiX | hi! my file manager stopped asking the password for an encrypted partition. any method to forget it? | 08:53 |
| theskillwithin | I used several methods to make my usb bootable | 08:53 |
| theskillwithin | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQIaDO9nR6Y | 08:53 |
| EriC^^ | theskillwithin: try dd as k1l suggested | 08:53 |
| theskillwithin | that method I have not used | 08:54 |
| k1l | theskillwithin: is the usb disk3? | 08:54 |
| theskillwithin | yes | 08:54 |
| k1l | that is not how a ubuntu usb looks like | 08:54 |
| theskillwithin | that was before I installed it, i used that command to determin which one to put it in | 08:55 |
| k1l | theskillwithin: i bet if you erase that partitions on that usb and make it a clean fat32 device the unetbootin installer will see it and make a pproper live ubuntu | 08:55 |
| theskillwithin | DANG, yes I was already trying that but i just had to close and repone unetbootin. k1l you were right!!! | 08:56 |
| theskillwithin | I just really hope that the problem isnt cuz I am using firewire montiro cuz I have heard of people who used hdmi monitor had to switch to vga to see the install | 08:57 |
| theskillwithin | thx!!!! | 08:57 |
| EriC^^ | try with nomodeset in grub | 08:57 |
| EriC^^ | !nomodeset | 08:57 |

| LuiX | archmonkey, you can use the disk manager | 09:05 |
| hateball | ujjwal09: transfer speed will vary depending on the filesystem, as well if there are many smaller files instead of large ones etc | 09:05 |
| * theskillwithin starts googling frantically | 09:05 | |
| ujjwal09 | Actually the files are videos of 100-200 MB size | 09:05 |
| theskillwithin | dang that was a smart answer | 09:05 |
| theskillwithin | oh | 09:06 |
| ujjwal09 | Are they small enough to slow down the speed? | 09:06 |
| hateball | ujjwal09: No, I was thinking rather in the <100kb range | 09:07 |
| hateball | ujjwal09: Is the external drive NTFS? Can you open the system monitor and see if your CPU is choking? | 09:07 |

| sveinse | k1l, depends | 09:17 |
| k1l | sveinse: and usually depencies have a sense. the program needs them | 09:17 |
| LuiX | archmonkey, i think it's the same, yes | 09:18 |
| sveinse | k1l: No, not always. Not on meta packages, such as ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-minimal and such | 09:18 |

| LeMike | That will be the last scenario Triffid_Hunter ;) I would love to use the given 256gb disk but a USB stick will also do. | 10:32 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | k1l: guide for? | 10:32 |

| HoloIRCUser4 | *guid | 10:33 |

| LeMike | I've never done this or worked with those commands so it's a bit curiosity and fun to learn it too ;) | 10:33 |
| k1l | HoloIRCUser4: "gpt" its the new partiitiontable that can have more TB and more than 4 primary partitions. | 10:33 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | jamesp: use mount | 10:33 |
| k1l | jamesp: sudo mount /dev/sdX /path/where/to/mount. make sure the path/folder is already created | 10:34 |
| LeMike | And it found the first bad blocks that I knew of \o/ works :) Thanks very much k1l ! | 10:34 |

| Mrokii | Hello. I have written about a problem with my locale settings before. The symptom is that I can't write German Umlauts in bash/Konsole. They're printed as "??". But I noticed that the German Umlauts show up just fine when typed into a TTY. Does anybody know what the reason could be? | 10:38 |
| Luka00 | someone with freeze random solved without using intel_idle.max_cstate=1 on Ubuntu 16.04? | 10:40 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Mrokii: konsole doesn't support utf8 afaik, try urxvt or similar | 10:41 |
| Mrokii | Triffid_Hunter: I'll try, thanks. | 10:41 |
| Luka00 | Also yesterday I received the 4.4 kernel update. I rebooted but version 4.7 has been installed (uname -r) why? | 10:43 |
| lifelessi | k1l: ive tried for testing to set chmod -R 777 .gnupg but it desnt work... what does this agent is, where i get Permission denied | 10:43 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | jamesp: login as su and then try | 10:43 |
| jamesp | okay i moved the nfs shares to /mnt/ | 10:44 |
| jamesp | can mount usb now | 10:44 |
| jamesp | strange | 10:44 |
| Triffid_Hunter | lifelessi: chmod -R 777 is almost always a really terrible idea.. strace will tell you the exact thing it's barfing on | 10:44 |

| juanonymous | is there an app like share it on desktop ubuntu, so i can easily transfer apps from computer to my mobile android phone? | 11:03 |
| theskillwithin | k1l well I had to set nomodeset just for it to install, maybe that setting doesnt carry over? | 11:03 |
| k1l | !nomodeset | theskillwithin | 11:03 |
| ubottu | theskillwithin: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 11:03 |
| k1l | yes, use that again in the grub (one time method on that page) | 11:04 |
| theskillwithin | how to get to grub | 11:04 |
| theskillwithin | do i even have grub lol | 11:04 |
| theskillwithin | I was told hold shift to get grub | 11:04 |

| theskillwithin | ok will restart brb, ill try shift also will try shift + f3 | 11:08 |
| Madhu__ | Kil : supporting in x3100 M4 | 11:09 |
| k1l | Madhu__: what is the exact issue? | 11:09 |
| Mrokii | Triffid_Hunter: Switching character encoding didn't help with the German Umlauts. Besides, somebody said that Konsole does support utf8, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. :-/ | 11:09 |
| widgetphreak | neat... well... i got my IRC fix.... see you all agaim in five years | 11:10 |
| k1l | Madhu__: i dont see why that should not work. so we need very specific error descriptions | 11:10 |
| Madhu__ | Kil : trying to install raid1. but showing raid1 readonly and permission is required to write on disk | 11:10 |
| k1l | Madhu__: so you got a raid configure issue. not a ubuntu kernel issue? | 11:11 |

| surgy | how do i remove the windowsmanager all together, and use my computer in terminal only mode | 11:11 |
| theskillwithin | well i notice when I boot it doesnt go to osx or refind at all, maybe I should just resintall refind, then maybe i can set the settings from there | 11:12 |
| theskillwithin | it just goes to purple screen automatically odd | 11:13 |
| count_ | hi | 11:13 |
| ducasse | Madhu__: are you still trying to get that bios raid to work? you've been told here several times to use software raid instead. | 11:16 |
| Madhu__ | Ducasse: No. trying to install software raid only. But it is new server and version 3 | 11:17 |
| hexhaxtron | Can I have several .iso files in /boot/iso/ and have a menu entry for each of them in the GRUB menu? | 11:18 |

| ne8cfl | yes here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/19487127/ | 12:25 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19487127/ | 12:25 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | I am now on my mac laptop as I gave up on ubuntu setup on irc and etc kind of laborious without copy and paste lol | 12:25 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | this isnt even my main nick | 12:26 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, dmesg | grep -i chipset | 12:26 |
| gycklarn- | In a terminal (On a non-mac keyboard) you have to press ctrl+shift+v to paste | 12:26 |
| gycklarn- | No idea how it works on mac | 12:26 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: doesn't say anything | 12:26 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | oh ok one sec lemme try that on my desktop | 12:27 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, try again, please | 12:27 |
| ne8cfl | ioria:: I did it just goes into next line :( | 12:27 |
| Luka00 | It worked grub menu and I chose the kernel 4.4.31 ow how do I use it more instead of kernel 4.7 rc3? | 12:28 |
| freedrull | hi i accidentally expired the main user account (with usermod -e) and i can't login as root (the root account is locked by default) is there anything i can do? | 12:28 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | yep gycklarn- that worked to paste in ubuntu.... dang that is super laborious 3 keystrokes almost awkwardly placed compared to two on osx... idk | 12:28 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, 16.04 ? | 12:28 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: no 14.04 | 12:28 |
| gycklarn- | bobslaw-skillwit, The thing is, ctrl+c and ctrl+v does other things in the terminal. ctrl+c for example is used to cancel an ongoing command | 12:29 |
| Luka00 | I would not select every time the kernel to use but still have the 4.04.31 as default | 12:29 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, have you added ppa ? | 12:29 |
| ne8cfl | ne8cfl: kernel version 3.13-0.92 | 12:29 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: No I just installed | 12:29 |
| ne8cfl | And updated | 12:29 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, can you paste ubuntu-drivers list ? | 12:29 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | osx its cmd+c cmd+v | 12:29 |
| ne8cfl | next I wanted are the nvidia drivers | 12:30 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | those dont work in ubuntu | 12:30 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: ubuntu drivers list? | 12:30 |
| gycklarn- | Have you installed Ubuntu on your mac, bobslaw-skillwit? | 12:30 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | yes | 12:30 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, ubuntu-drivers list | 12:30 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | also yea i do often use that ctrl+c on osx to cancel, very useful | 12:31 |
| gycklarn- | bobslaw-skillwit, I have little-to-zero experience with mac computers, but I would assume Ubuntu is not "supposed" to be used on a mac, which is why the keyboard shortcuts are different | 12:31 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/19487657/ | 12:31 |
| ne8cfl | I installed 352.63 like before | 12:32 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ok but srsly? 3 keys needed to copy and paste? | 12:32 |
| olivia_ | excuse me, is the channil loged? | 12:32 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, you update the kernel recently ... | 12:32 |
| hateball | olivia_: Yes | 12:32 |
| ioria | *ed | 12:32 |
| ne8cfl | It's like everytime I install ubuntu, it gets buggier and buggier | 12:32 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ill be customizing it to use 2 keys I think | 12:32 |
| olivia_ | hateball: do you know wher | 12:32 |
| hateball | !irclogs | 12:33 |
| ubottu | Official channel logs can be found at https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ . LoCo channels are now logged there too. Meeting logs from meetingology at http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ | 12:33 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, nouveau was working right ? | 12:33 |
| olivia_ | hateball: thank u <3 | 12:33 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | even when I used windows (hated it) did not need 3 keys to copy and paste | 12:33 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: yes nouveau is functioning correctly | 12:33 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | this kind of thru me off... a curve ball I did not expect | 12:33 |
| ne8cfl | I think I still run it right now | 12:34 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, no | 12:34 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: so what is wrong with my nvidia drivers ? you got a clue? | 12:34 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, can you paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log ? | 12:34 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, paste the file, then we try to purge nvidia and reinstall fron Additional Drivers | 12:35 |
| ioria | *m | 12:35 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | lol as a web dev keyboard shortcuts are insanely useful, might have to switch back to osx where you only need 2 keys to copy and paste =[ | 12:36 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | I memorized prob 50 keyboard shortcuts in sublime text | 12:36 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: thats a big chunk of text though http://paste.ubuntu.com/19488114/ | 12:37 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, oh... dod you use encryption ? | 12:37 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: Yes I did | 12:38 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: tip: look into the difference between the x selection buffer and the clipboard, and programs like clipit | 12:38 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: before it was working to with the nvidia drivers | 12:38 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, before .. what ? | 12:38 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ducasse ok I will write that down in my notes | 12:39 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: makes life _a lot_ easier | 12:39 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: before I reinstalled my pc | 12:39 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | does it make it more consistant | 12:39 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, fresh install ? don't tell me ... | 12:39 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: thats the funny thing it's the second time. So what am I doing wrong here exactly? | 12:40 |
| === DeerGod is now known as precise | ||
| ioria | ne8cfl, you're using 3.13 very old kernel ... so you reinstalled from an old medium ,,, but this is not the point | 12:42 |
| ne8cfl | I need make a clean format. reinstalling doesn't do it somehow. problems persist and new ones appear | 12:42 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: I need this kernel. The 3.13 is the only kernel that works well with my pc | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | howdy folks | 12:43 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: once I had 4.x and it wouldn't boot up | 12:43 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: when you learn to use it, yes | 12:43 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, ok... now, what you got a blank screen or you can login ? | 12:43 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: no no, everything's fine besides the nvidia drivers | 12:43 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | im not sure if that follows the definition of constant | 12:43 |
| ne8cfl | but I installed newer kernels from upgrading and they don't work. only kernel I got a positive result is the kernel i'm using | 12:45 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | its consistent then if you learn how do to the same task using a different method in diff programs | 12:45 |
| ne8cfl | with* | 12:45 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? | 12:45 |
| ne8cfl | ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 12:46 |
| ne8cfl | I looked there is really nothing in that folder | 12:46 |
| ne8cfl | i mean no xorg.conf | 12:47 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, dpkg -l | grep nvidia- | 12:47 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: look it up. i mark text with the left button, and paste with the middle or shift+insert. works everywhere. | 12:47 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19489071/ | 12:47 |
| sveinse | ooi, why has the handy Ctrl-Alt-backspace function been taken away? | 12:48 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | shift+insert? that requires two hands to hit those buttons? | 12:48 |
| sveinse | uhm, yeah, this function is not something you do every day. In fact, as seldom as possible actually | 12:49 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, we can try 2 things . 1) purge nvidia and reinstall from Gui, or 2) try to configure Xorg (sudo nvidia-xconfig) and run sudo update-initramfs -u | 12:49 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: there are two shift keys. | 12:50 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | thats true | 12:50 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ok so now I have to learn completely diff shortcuts now, dang | 12:50 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: I installed from Gui before this install. over additional drivers. same thing happens. that's why I did it manually the second time. | 12:50 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | osx shortcuts were more intuitive | 12:51 |
| sveinse | bobslaw-skillwit: eh, are we talking about the same thing here? | 12:51 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: look at clipit, it synchronises the two tways to do things, so you can use whatever you want. | 12:51 |
| ioria | ne8cfl, sudo nvidia-xconfig and sudo update-initramfs -u | 12:52 |
| ne8cfl | I think I'm going to format everything again. install without inet connetion. and install the nvidia drivers first before anything | 12:52 |
| transhuman | ducasse I | 12:52 |
| ne8cfl | ioria: sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found | 12:52 |
| * bobslaw-skillwit writes down clipit | 12:53 | |
| ducasse | sveinse: 'setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp' or enable it in an xorg.conf snippet. | 12:53 |
| transhuman | ducasse, I am able to start a new session under a different user using ctl+Alt+L...I setup an anonymous user (I could also use a proxy) but lots of proxys are blocked from such things | 12:53 |
| sveinse | ducasse: Yes, I' | 12:53 |
| transhuman | ducasse, but i think its anonymous enough under a differnet session for googles indexing purposes | 12:54 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | this is way more involved than I thought it would be, i mean I ssh into linux webservers all day but did not expect using ubuntu desktop to be so forgient. I wish I could just make it more like osx lol | 12:54 |
| sveinse | ducasse: Yes, I've done that. But my question was why it as taken away in the first place | 12:54 |
| ne8cfl | My pc is not that good with linux anyway, cuz of nvidia-prime, uefi and secure boot stuff all there | 12:54 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: thank god it's not, imo. | 12:54 |
| ducasse | sveinse: because most users didn't know about it, hit it accidentally and killed their entire session, i would guess. easy enough to enable, though. | 12:56 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | well shortcut keys are very imporatant as a web dev | 12:56 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | quit the server | 12:57 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | joined again | 12:57 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | does not quits | 12:58 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | lol I was told the ux/ui was easy and CONSISTENT. lies lies lies | 12:59 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: i've never had an issue with copy/paste. you can't expect to switch os and keep exactly the same workflow/habits. | 12:59 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | windows and macos have very similar shortcuts for those, almost the same really | 13:00 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | 2 keys | 13:00 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | not 3 | 13:00 |
| ne8cfl | well i'm going to reinstall again give it another try :( | 13:00 |
| ikonia | you're not using those | 13:00 |
| ikonia | some apps will respond to control +c / control +v | 13:01 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | and its not different shortcuts for different programs to copy and paste lol | 13:01 |
| HoloIRCUser4 | bobslaw-skillwit: try Windows 95 | 13:01 |
| ikonia | others won't | 13:01 |
| ikonia | there is the middle mouse button, | 13:01 |
| ne8cfl | this time without internet connection | 13:01 |
| Rumbles | hmmm anyone know if it's possible to change the chage warning message? | 13:01 |
| ne8cfl | and get the nvidia first before kernel upgrade | 13:01 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | HoloIRCUser4 dont patronize me | 13:01 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ikonia middle mouse button? what do you mean | 13:02 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: you don't understand anything i've said, apparently. | 13:02 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | i mean i know of this button but what are you saying it does | 13:02 |
| curlyears | No Joy )-: | 13:03 |
| ducasse | bobslaw-skillwit: mark text with left, paste with middle. | 13:03 |
| xpistos | Is there any thing special I need to do to enable a third monitor on my laptop? I am using one hdmi and one vga. if I select morror it shows all three. if I select extended it shows all three monitors in display but only two wor | 13:03 |

| curlyears | I dd-ed the 16.004 install .iso to an 8GB USBThumb, rebooted, reset the boot priorities, etc., to point to the USB, rebnooted again, and never even made it thourhg the entire BIOS bootup procedure. | 13:04 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | ikonia THANKYOU finally some clarity | 13:04 |
| ducasse | SnoopyDgg: cron or systemd timers | 13:04 |
| SnoopyDgg | ducasse, I'm on ubuntu 14.04 which one is better? | 13:05 |
| ducasse | SnoopyDgg: then you only have cron | 13:05 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | that sounds so easy too, no need to even copy | 13:06 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | efficient | 13:06 |
| curlyears | it went so far as to inform me that it was "checking the DMI list . . . . . . . . . . . <12 dots and then hung for oever 2 hours. I finall;y just turned it off again | 13:07 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | i get hungover for way more than 2 hours, not often then thankfully | 13:08 |
| SnoopyDgg | ducasse, but I couldn't find guides that teaches ow to do it on friday at 7 PM | 13:09 |
| bobslaw-skillwit | must sleep. thankyou again ikonia best answer to my issue | 13:09 |
| ducasse | SnoopyDgg: 'man 5 crontab' | 13:09 |
| curlyears | so, in despairation, I tried installing 14.04.4 again. f few seconds after choosibng "install ubuntu" the screen goes blank, and about 10 seconds later, at the very top of the screen, I see "file not found: MkListRT not found | 13:09 |
| XFreud | zenmap | 13:12 |
| curlyears | and then the instal *SEEMS&* to go successfully (no errors or warnings) I restart AGAIN. Doe it boot? NO, it hands me the "checking DMI list and 12 dots libne and hangs! I am back under LiveDVD agaion )-: | 13:12 |
| curlyears | can anyone explain any of this (Oh, one more thing, I ran the "check disk for errors" thing on the installer startup, it scanned the 14.04.4 DVD and pronounced it error free) | 13:14 |

| alexbligh1 | Odd_Bloke, nope, but I think I now know what it is (roughly). /boot is full as it's been autoupdating somehow, but not rebooted, and that's left it with partially configured kernel packages, so its confused. | 13:23 |

| therealtbe | does anyone remember where networking is configure in Ubuntu 12.10 ? | 14:37 |
| MonkeyDust | therealtbe 12.10 is long dead | 14:38 |
| displayman | no support bro | 14:38 |
| therealtbe | I don't see anything in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:38 |
| therealtbe | so how is it getting this static IP address | 14:38 |
| MonkeyDust | therealtbe upgrade first, then ask ag&ain | 14:38 |
| therealtbe | where is networking configured in 12.04 ? | 14:38 |
| therealtbe | where, other than /etc/network/interfaces, has networking ever been configured? | 14:39 |
| therealtbe | there is no dhclient running, and no network manager, and /etc/network/interfaces only contains the loopback, so how does it get its IP address? | 14:40 |
| displayman | are there any other channels i should try for help with this graphics issue? I'm lost here | 14:41 |
| therealtbe | if it's not running dhclient, and there is only loopback in /etc/network/interfaces, how is eth0 getting its IP address ? | 14:42 |
| curlyears | therealtbe: PAY ATTENTION: you have been advised several times nowq that Ubuntu 12 is NO LONGER SUPPORTED. You will need to upgrade to a newer version (16.04 is the latest) and try again. If you still have troubles, come back and ask here. | 14:48 |
| displayman | I don't think I've ever seen this channel so dead | 14:48 |
| displayman | curlyears: the topic says 12.04 is allowed | 14:48 |
| curlyears | it is awfull;y quiet for 1934 Users | 14:49 |
| MonkeyDust | curlyears 12.04 is supported until 2017 | 14:49 |
| Pici | 12.10 is long gone though. | 14:49 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust mea culpa | 14:49 |
| displayman | and to be fair I'm on 16.04 and no one can help me either :D | 14:50 |
| curlyears | displayman: the problm,e for 16.04 is that it is fairly new, and not as many knowledgabler users exist, as do for earlier versions. There are all new bugs which may not as yet have been resolved. | 14:51 |
| irinix | why would 12.04 be supported but not 12.10 if 12.04 is older than 12.10? | 14:52 |
| displayman | yeah so we're both SOL... | 14:52 |
| MonkeyDust | irinix because 12.04 is LTS | 14:52 |
| irinix | curlyears, I would blame Canonical's 6 month release cycle for that | 14:52 |
| curlyears | 12.04 is an LTS (Long Term Support) module. 10.10 is n ot LTS. | 14:52 |
| irinix | so *.04 is LTS, and *.10 isn't. kk | 14:53 |
| curlyears | corect | 14:53 |
| therealtbe | why are you guys being so rude ? | 14:53 |
| therealtbe | if 12.04 is supported then tell me how networking is configured in 12.04 | 14:53 |
| irinix | therealtbe, what have you tried? | 14:54 |
| therealtbe | I checked ps -ef to look for dhclient, and I don't see it, or network manager | 14:54 |
| therealtbe | I looked in /etc/network/interfaces and only the loopback is configured | 14:54 |
| therealtbe | but somehow, eth0 gets it's IP address, AND /etc/resolv.conf is overwritten on reboot | 14:54 |
| therealtbe | I checked in rc.local and a few other places to see if someone hardcoded the commands | 14:55 |
| irinix | what does ifconfig tell you? | 14:55 |
| therealtbe | umm, the IP address? | 14:55 |
| therealtbe | and the netmask... | 14:55 |
| irinix | so, what is the problem? | 14:55 |
| therealtbe | I fixed /etc/resolv.conf and rebooted it and it was overwritten with incorrect information | 14:56 |
| therealtbe | Usually I have seen this when it is dhcp and it receives the dns server along with the dhcp lease | 14:56 |
| therealtbe | So I went to look to see if this is configured for static or DHCP. I don't see either. I don't see any config for eth0 anywhere | 14:56 |
| Myrtti | irinix, curlyears: not every .04 is an LTS. Even years are. | 14:57 |
| irinix | therealtbe, it might not be *exactly* your problem but it seems close, have you tried this http://askubuntu.com/questions/394217/my-eth0-has-gone-and-i-dont-have-internet-and-network-connection ? | 14:58 |
| irinix | Myrtti, yet more confusion in the open source space care of Canonical | 14:59 |
| Paddy_NI | Would anyone here know how to make the compiz zoom plugin in Unity zoom using the scroll wheel? | 15:00 |
| Myrtti | irinix: not really. Ubuntu's LTS's have always been released on April of even years. | 15:00 |
| Paddy_NI | I cannot enter it using the ccsm gui as it does not grab the key stroke for scrolling | 15:00 |
| StatelessCat | 15T165315 irinix | so *.04 is LTS, and *.10 isn't. kk » not every *.04 are LTS, 12.04, 14.04, 16.04 are. 11.04, 13.04, 15.04 are not LTS. | 15:00 |

| Myrtti | eric_: /msg nickserv help register | 15:26 |
| curlyears | Gazyrlezon: sas in "steps throough the BIOS POST test, the BIOS startup sccreen, and then hangs after displaying "Checking DMI pool . . . . . . . . . . . ." <- 12 dots. Just hangs, no response to KB or mouse input. | 15:30 |
| Gazyrlezon | curlyears: Ah, okay. Sorry, no idea about that. Does anyone else have one? | 15:31 |
| curlyears | I got exactly the same response after supposed installing LTS 14.04. with no errors reported, and trying to boot that. | 15:32 |
| curlyears | weird, two different installer versions, two differentkinds of mass storage media, smae exact response | 15:32 |
| nacc | curlyears: this is before or after grub? | 15:35 |
| nacc | curlyears: i'm guessing hardware issue (RAM stick going bad, etc.) if DMI verification is failing (have you run memtest from the a live env?) | 15:35 |
| curlyears | nacc: I am going to guess before grub. I see no prompts, no messages except "checking DMI pool . . . . . . . . . . . ." (12 dots) | 15:36 |
| curlyears | nacc: but Live DVD runs just fine | 15:36 |
| OerHeks | curlyears, you have this issue for weeks now, broken hardware | 15:37 |
| nacc | curlyears: some people recommend trying to run something like boot-repair for that issue (just glossing through similar issues): https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 15:38 |
| curlyears | Oerheks: we were all concuring it was a flakey PSU. I have replaced the {SU with a much stronger one (800W), and even my back paenl USB ports work again | 15:38 |

| curlyears | Divorced: we begin to see why you are a divorcee. You need to hone you people skills a bit, d00d. | 16:36 |
| curlyears | So, any wisdom on my stupid inability to boot anything except Live DVD mode? | 16:37 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: A thought: verify the copy ? .. in the boot options on the liveUSB is " check disk for defects" . | 16:39 |
| nacc | curlyears: is it a live DVD or a live USB? | 16:39 |
| curlyears | Bashing-om: have done repeatedly. Indicates no errors found. | 16:40 |
| curlyears | nacc: Live DVD. I can't get a USB to boot correctly at all | 16:40 |
| nacc | curlyears: and you're installing to one of the HDDs? or to one of the USB drivers? | 16:40 |
| nacc | *drives | 16:40 |
| curlyears | trying to install to a 3TB HDD | 16:40 |
| nacc | curlyears: in the live DVD, does the installed system (that fails to boot)'s disk look like it's partitioned correctly? (UEFI partitoin, etc) | 16:41 |
| curlyears | I have to tell you, I feel damned foolish, being a retired software eningeer in this position. I feel positively STUPID | 16:42 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: Might be instructive to look at the partitioning on the hard drive(s): 'sudo parted -l' . | 16:42 |
| curlyears | nacc: yes | 16:42 |
| nacc | curlyears: well, DMI detection isn't a software (traditional) issue; it's a hardware or BIOS one, if it's failing | 16:42 |
| nacc | curlyears: when you boot normally, your BIOS boot order is correct, etc.? Not trying to be insulting, just trying to think of things that might be going wrong | 16:43 |
| nacc | curlyears: could also be lose connectors (you've been doing some hw chnages it sounds like), it can be bios corruption (consider reset/reflash), can be hdd failure(s) | 16:44 |
| curlyears | OK. I need some assistance installing a screen capture/upload utility. I havent done so in months, and I don't remember how | 16:45 |
| nacc | curlyears: it *might* be interesting to see `dmidecode` output form the live dvd ... not sure if it'll actually show any problems | 16:45 |
| Bashing-om | curlyears: screenshot app, should be installed ny default on a standard ubuntu release . On my keyboad is " prt scrn ' key to activate . | 16:47 |
| curlyears | nope. hitting "prit screen" key does nothing, with or without the "shift" key depressed | 16:48 |

| curlyears | nacc??? | 17:11 |
| curlyears | so, did anybody look at the dmidecode I posted, and can you offer an opinion? | 17:13 |
| nacc | curlyears: couple of questions come to mind; i'm not an expert, but my UEFI system at home as the small efi partition marked as 'boot, esp' | 17:14 |
| nacc | curlyears: not just 'boot' | 17:14 |
| nacc | curlyears: quick glance at man-page says esp is what indicates it's EFI (but not sure it's 100% necessary) | 17:14 |
| nacc | curlyears: some people have used a tool called the 'super grub rescue' disk to boot from dvd, find the grub installation on their hdd and then boot. That would at least verify the installation worked correctly. | 17:15 |
| curlyears | where dpo I gte "super grub rescue?" apt-get? | 17:18 |
| ActionParsnip | curlyears: if you want to reinstall GRUB then OMGUbuntu has a guide named "Sticking it to GRUB" which can help | 17:20 |
| nacc | curlyears: i found it quickly by googling, it's an iso image (afaict) | 17:21 |
| curlyears | I prefer nacc's suggestion, thanks, ActionParsnip. I tend to have considerable trepidation and discomfort in messing with grub directly, I simply don't know enough about it | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Im not a fan of messing with Grub, I know some tricks but in general its fine. I dont use UEFI or secureboot or encryption or anything like that. | 17:21 |

| ikonia | dmi error .... = hardware error | 17:25 |
| nacc | ikonia: agreed; although apparently efi errors are also indicated by some bios as dmi errors (same time in post?) | 17:26 |
| ikonia | you will not be able to fix it with software | 17:26 |
| curlyears | nacc: because A) the computer flat out wouldn't work right without it, and because I discopvered whebn I found the EFI selection option in Advanced BIOS Settings, that the BIOS requires it for >2TB disks (or so it claims) | 17:26 |
| ikonia | nacc: put it into legacy mode to test if possible, but it's going to be a hardware error | 17:26 |
| nacc | ikonia: good idea; but curlyears says they can't (due to the above disk issue) | 17:26 |
| ikonia | I doubt that | 17:26 |
| ikonia | even if it is a disk issue not using efi - you should still get a failed boot attempt | 17:27 |
| * nacc agrees, UEFI shouldn't change (aiui) the disk size supported, unless it's a really poorly written bios | 17:27 | |

| curlyears | Ah, Mrs. Jankwitz, what kind of computer do you have at home? "Well, let me think...it's sort of a light tan color, with black keys on the keyboard." | 18:53 |
| ujjwal09 | Bashing-om I don't get you :( | 18:54 |
| ujjwal09 | Actually I don't have a lot technical knowledge | 18:54 |
| curlyears | I mean, I applaud them for trying to learn new things, and all, but GEEZE, it's like they don't pay attention (of course, now that I am thatold...I understand...itisn't that I don't hear or see the new things, it's that I can't rememebr the 7%^%^% stuff! | 18:55 |
| tmwnni | ls | 18:56 |
| curlyears | ujwal9: what you probably have is 250GB of free DISK SPACE (mass storage). If your PC is like most, it probably has either 4 or 8 GB or MEMORY. | 18:56 |
| vook | ujjwal09: free -m (or top, vmstat, etc) will show you memory usage. df -h shows disk space. | 18:56 |
| ujjwal09 | vook Where I have to type this command | 18:57 |
| curlyears | Mass storage is used for long term, non-volatile data. Memory stores volatile data (it disappears when you turn the computer off) | 18:57 |
| vook | the terminal | 18:57 |
| ujjwal09 | Ok I opened terminal and I typed -m <enter> but it said command not found | 18:59 |
| nicomachus | ujjwal09: free -m | 19:00 |
| nicomachus | not just -m | 19:00 |
| DArqueBishop | curlyears: I got people to understand by saying, "The difference between your memory and hard disk is that if your computer is your office, your memory is your available desk space while your hard disk is your filing cabinets." | 19:00 |
| ujjwal09 | Ok thanks. I will type it right now | 19:00 |
| ujjwal09 | Yes it worked.now what I have to do? | 19:01 |
| nicomachus | ujjwal09: what did it show? | 19:03 |
| ujjwal09 | It showed a table nicomachus | 19:03 |

| bumbar_ | i'm trying to mount usb in terminal but nothing happens, just hangs there. works fine in windows though | 19:07 |
| Bashing-om | ujjwal09: " But when video plays screen keeps blinking every 2-3 seconds" with 4 gigs of ram .. not a memory issue . | 19:07 |
| nacc | Egyptian[Web]: as tgm4883 (i think) told you yesterday, you need to remove the virtual packages too | 19:08 |
| ujjwal09 | Ok | 19:08 |
| ioria | ujjwal09, do you have the same behavior with totem ? | 19:08 |
| nacc | Egyptian[Web]: if you don't want to get hte latest kernel, remove those 4 pacakges that are being auto-upgraded | 19:08 |
| bumbar_ | if i try to click on shortcut or whatever in nautilus it says: operation is already pending. can i resolve this without restarting the machine? | 19:08 |
| ddd333 | one hour later "are you certain you're using linux, linuxuser?" XXDDD | 19:08 |
| ujjwal09 | Is totem a video player? I have not tried it | 19:08 |
| ujjwal09 | Actually in windows I used only VLC media player | 19:09 |
| nacc | !info totem | ujjwal09 | 19:09 |
| ubottu | ujjwal09: totem (source: totem): Simple media player for the GNOME desktop based on GStreamer. In component main, is optional. Version 3.18.1-1ubuntu4 (xenial), package size 43 kB, installed size 563 kB | 19:09 |
| ioria | bumbar_, usb usually automounts ... in /media/<user> | 19:09 |
| ujjwal09 | Ok yes | 19:10 |
| ujjwal09 | I used totem and there was no blinking | 19:10 |
| Egyptian[Web] | nacc you mean uninstall the old list of kernels then do another uninstall with the new list? | 19:10 |
| nacc | Egyptian[Web]: no | 19:10 |
| bumbar_ | ioria, says i don't have permission, and if i ls that dir as root it's empty | 19:11 |
| ujjwal09 | But I cannot use subtitles in totem video player. Thats why I installed VLC | 19:11 |
| nacc | Egyptian[Web]: apt-get remove linux-headers-generic linux-headers-virtual linux-image-virtual linux-virtual | 19:11 |
| Egyptian[Web] | ujjain: try http://kodi.tv its got subtitles and more | 19:11 |
| nacc | Egyptian[Web]: thoes packages are virtual and track the latest versions | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 do you use .srt files for subtitles? | 19:12 |
| curlyears | DArqueBishop: yeah, that is very similar to what I usually do. But I prefer to use correct terminology the first time through | 19:12 |
| ujjwal09 | Yes Monkeydust | 19:12 |
| ujjwal09 | They are all files I used in wiindows | 19:12 |
| Egyptian[Web] | nacc: got it .. remove virtual packages first then the list of installed packages | 19:13 |
| ujjwal09 | I have switched to Ubuntu last night only | 19:13 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 in Totem, click View > Subttitles | 19:13 |
| ujjwal09 | MonkeyDust in totem there is no such option | 19:14 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 there is here, just checked | 19:14 |
| ioria | bumbar_, ls -l /media/youuser | 19:15 |
| ujjwal09 | There are three dots on which I left click then it gives Repeat and Skip to option | 19:15 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 three dots? sure it's Totem? | 19:16 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 in the View dropdown menu, what do you see | 19:17 |
| === yacine is now known as Guest14688 | ||
| ioria | ujjwal09, and be sure that the srt file is a good one ... | 19:18 |
| MonkeyDust | ujjwal09 the .srt should have the same name as the video file name | 19:19 |
| ujjwal09 | Yes Srt file is good | 19:20 |
| ioria | ujjwal09, so -> view -> Subtitle | 19:20 |
| ujjwal09 | When I am searching for Totem in Ubuntu softwares then it gives a result that Videos is known as Totem | 19:20 |
| ioria | ujjwal09, is preinstalled , by defaul | 19:21 |
| ioria | ujjwal09, go in Dash and type totem | 19:21 |

| becker_ | Hello | 19:50 |
| mike802 | i have a computer that can boot to live disk, but i want to troubleshoot a bluescreen issue | 19:50 |
| mike802 | i was wondering if anyone had recommendations for hardware diagnosis | 19:50 |
| mike802 | (since i've ruled out software) | 19:51 |
| becker_ | Nein ich habe Festinstaliert | 19:51 |
| MonkeyDust | !de | 19:51 |

| ioria | mike802, bluescreens are on windows iirc | 19:51 |
| becker_ | Danke Für deine Andwort | 19:52 |
| mike802 | yes | 19:53 |
| mike802 | i am using a live linux disk to troubleshoot my problem | 19:53 |
| ioria | i see | 19:53 |
| Martiini | mike802 is distrowatch.com any help? | 19:55 |
| mike802 | does anyone have a recommendation for good linux-based hardware diagnosis tools? | 19:58 |
| rypervenche | mike802: I would use smartmontools to check your hard drives. But I doubt your issue is related to that. It's more likely a file system issue in Windows. | 20:06 |
| genewitch | I'm performing upgrade 15.10->16.04 and it said 134 packages are no longer supported, how do i see the list of packages no longer supported? | 20:06 |
| mike802 | well, a fresh install does not fix my problem | 20:08 |
| mike802 | so it has to be a hardware issue | 20:08 |

| EriC^^ | which pc is it? | 20:56 |

| EriC^^ | curlyears: try to install efibootmgr again and run sudo efibootmgr -v | 21:32 |
| TheNH813 | Question, will "borrowing" a firmware file (ra3290.bin) off a Ubuntu machine work on another Linux distro, or no? | 21:32 |
| nonesisto | yes | 21:33 |
| curlyears | but I did look at the EFI selection screen more closely. It offers three choices: EFI, Legacy or Auto. Auto does NOT work well. It also says it is required to boot from CD/DVD when >2TB drives are present. | 21:33 |
| dax | TheNH813: probably | 21:33 |
| dax | TheNH813: those should be distro-independent | 21:33 |
| TheNH813 | Thanks. I'l try it then. Because one thing I really like about Ubuntu is it's massive collection of firmware. :D | 21:33 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: odd | 21:33 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: after 8 months of fighting with this crap, I am beginning to think this thing just flat out doesn't LIKE me! :p | 21:34 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: i'm no expert but it seems a little odd, if it can boot in uefi mode then it should be able to whether it's 2tb or more | 21:35 |
| curlyears | well, as I said, it's only for the CD/DVD booting, apparently | 21:35 |
| EriC^^ | the efi partition is at the beginning of the drive, i wonder why it says that | 21:35 |
| curlyears | isit at the beginning of the DVD? | 21:36 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: i guess so | 21:37 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: what's on the 500gb hdd? | 21:37 |
| curlyears | because when I sam booting from the DVD, it isn't even LOOKING at the hard drives | 21:37 |

| curlyears | Eric: nothing, so far as I know. It shoudl have been erased months ago, in all this mess. It was the original drive for this system, before I bought the 3TB drives | 21:37 |
| EriC^^ | is polarity really reversed there? | 21:37 |
| TheNH813 | LOL | 21:38 |

| curlyears | Winds circle clockwise South of the equator, where as they circle anti-clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere | 21:39 |
| curlyears | that's abiout the onnkly difference. | 21:39 |
| surgy | hello | 21:40 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: ok, maybe if the efi partition is on that drive it will boot, other options would be to try and see if it doesn't mind legacy or make a custom live dvd that points to the ubuntu install to boot it every time (just some options that came to mind) | 21:40 |
| surgy | how do i set xfce to my defualt wm from the terminal? | 21:40 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you could install ubuntu to the 500gb hdd and have the 3tb mounted somewhere too, easiest and cleanest | 21:40 |
| curlyears | except that at the North Pole, a compass will say its pointing South no matter what direction you point it. whereas at the South Pole, it will always tell you it is pointing North. | 21:41 |
| pseud0 | Is there a way to launch a program when I insert an SD card ? | 21:41 |
| eee333 | so i'll updte to 16.04 this month. what are the most important changes/improvements? ( updating from 14.04 >.< ) | 21:41 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: Do you think that will Help? Qlso, how do I get it to choose the 500GB drive? It just automatically selects one of the 3T drivers without any input from me | 21:41 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: use the "Something else" option in the installer | 21:42 |
| surgy | how do i set xfce to my defualt wm from the terminal? | 21:42 |
| octacian | pseud0: It's definitely possible. I researched that previously. Can't remember off hand though. I will see if I can find anything without crashing my computer... | 21:42 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: OK. I always get lost and confused when I am trying to use the partition editor | 21:42 |
| genewitch | well, deepdream still works on 16.04 | 21:42 |
| pseud0 | octacian: much appreciated | 21:42 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: at least from my perspective, it does not behave logically or understandably | 21:43 |
| curlyears | and, I havwe to leave in about 15 minutes to cook my supper. As a brittle diabetic, it is important that I eat on time. | 21:44 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: make a fresh partition table from the livedvd, then make a 300mb fat32 partition as the efi partition, and use the rest for "/" ext4 , and swap | 21:44 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: OK, I'll give it a shot | 21:45 |
| eee333 | so i'll upadte to 16.04 this month. what are the most important changes/improvements? ( updating from 14.04 >.< ) | 21:45 |
| torpet_ | i am having this bug for microsoft reserved partitions: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2298496 | 21:46 |
| torpet_ | my whole dmesg log is full of it | 21:46 |
| torpet_ | is this a known kernel bug | 21:46 |
| MonkeyDust | eee333 read any 16.04 review, here's one ... https://www.linux.com/news/ubuntu-1604-review-whats-new-desktop-users | 21:47 |
| nacc | torpet_: what is the bug? it's (possibly) a spurious message | 21:47 |
| nacc | torpet_: that's not a bug, that's just ... a spurious message, I mean | 21:47 |
| eee333 | MonkeyDust: thank you | 21:47 |
| nacc | !ltsupgrade | eee333: also, bear in mind: | 21:49 |
| ubottu | eee333: also, bear in mind:: Users of 14.04 LTS will be offered the automatic upgrade when 16.04.1 LTS is released, which is scheduled for July 21st. | 21:49 |
| eee333 | is 20'' too small for a screen? i bought this 20'' all-in-one, but now i find it slightly small. although i really love 11'' notebooks he (asus eeebook) | 21:51 |
| eee333 | thank you nacc | 21:51 |
| eee333 | i'm so happy i'm back to ubuntu T_T :D | 21:52 |
| tgm4883 | eee333: not really a support question. That's literally only something you can answer for yourself (as all things that are a matter of preference) | 21:52 |
| bprompt | ditto | 21:52 |
| eee333 | tgm4883: last question what do you have as screen if using desktop? (inches) | 21:52 |
| torpet_ | nacc: well i think basically all filesystemmodules are being loaded | 21:53 |
| torpet_ | that is a bug | 21:53 |
| torpet_ | why would i want to load JFS if all i use is ext4 and fat32 | 21:53 |
| tgm4883 | eee333: i have 2 24" screens | 21:53 |
| eee333 | tgm4883: that's really cool | 21:54 |
| bprompt | eee333: on desktop, on mobile I use 15.6, I've used 14" as well as 17" laptops, on desktop my CRT was 19", but hell, if I can get a 20" or bigger, sure, for development is great | 21:54 |
| eee333 | bprompt: thank you for feedback | 21:55 |
| tortib | is there a free vmware for linux? | 21:55 |
| nacc | torpet_: i think you are misinterpreting kernel messages as errors. When you plug a filesystem in, it's probed to determine if it can be recognized. Each fs is tried. | 21:55 |
| bprompt | tortib: irc.netsplit.de/channels/?net=freenode <-- check there maybe | 21:55 |
| tortib | bprompt, check for what? | 21:55 |
| bprompt | tortib: channels in the network, or in other networks :) | 21:56 |
| bprompt | tortib: hmm ohhh rats.. I think I misread you (as usual), thought you asked on channels for it =( | 21:57 |
| tatertots | an option if you want to run virtual machines free of charge is "oracle virtualbox' | 21:58 |
| tgm4883 | kvm and virt-manager FTW | 21:58 |
| tgm4883 | or LXD | 21:59 |
| nacc | tortib: do you want specifically vmware or just virtualization? | 21:59 |

| Prince_ | first upgrade it to 15.04 | 22:30 |
| Prince_ | then upgrade it to 16.04 | 22:30 |

| Pazooza | I started a manual upgrade, computer froze, had to do a clean install of 16.04. | 22:33 |
| meetri | xangua, since this is a dev box - Is it ok to just upgrade to the devel-release ? | 22:33 |
| meetri | then later update to 16.04.1 ? | 22:34 |
| maxb | You can of course choose to upgrade early, but Ubuntu's position is "If you care enough about stability to only use LTSes, we advise you wait for a new LTS to reach .1" | 22:34 |
| meetri | s/update/upgrade | 22:34 |
| maxb | meetri: uh, what exactly do you mean by devel-release, because I'd take that to mean 16.10-in-progress | 22:34 |
| meetri | maxb, do-release-upgrade -dc reports 16.04 LTS is available | 22:35 |
| maxb | OK, it's fine to use the -d flag to convince the upgrader to see the 16.04 LTS release early | 22:36 |

| daxdax89 | never knew how to work with it | 22:52 |
| nacc | tgm4883: grive seems sort of dead (based upon github); the other project (odeke-em/drive) was at least updated a few days ago | 22:53 |
| tgm4883 | daxdax89: then purchase insync or use the browser | 22:53 |

I am trying to launch an Ubuntu Server 12.04 or 14.04 LTS in Amazon EC2 on a t2.small instance, but t2 and m4 are not available for selection, any idea why or how to work around it? (CentOS I have to select a VPC to deploy to, then they become available) | 22:54 |

| tortib | Can someone help me get USB working in my vm using kvm-qemu | 22:55 |
| nacc | tgm4883: always a bit hard to tell with github projects are still alive or not | 22:55 |

| nacc | tortib: as i said before; but if you insist on command-line, how are you invoking qemu? (pastebin) | 22:56 |
| nacc | TommyTheKid: you might ask in #ubuntu-server, or if AWS has a channel, i guess | 22:57 |
| nacc | TommyTheKid: 16.04 is listed here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/locator/ec2/ | 22:57 |
| TommyTheKid | strange, I wonder if hte marketplace thing is broken today? | 22:57 |
| nacc | TommyTheKid: i wonder if AWS waits for 16.04.1 before officially pushing them out? | 22:57 |

Should I manually create this directory? My next steps were to add SSH keys which I would typically do in the user directory. | 23:31 |
| nacc | maestrojed: how did you add the user? | 23:31 |
| maestrojed | nacc useradd -g www-data myNewUser | 23:31 |
| nacc | maestrojed: generally, should use adduser unless you know you have passed all flags to useradd | 23:32 |
| nacc | maestrojed: in this case, i think you're missing -d | 23:32 |
| nacc | maestrojed: err, -m, rather | 23:32 |
| maestrojed | nacc good to know. I was following a tut. :) | 23:32 |
| maestrojed | Another question. Very minor but I am curious. I have been using the root user to set things up until this point. Now that I use MyNewUser the prompt is much more basic, doesn't show current path, etc. I guess maybe I look at root's bash config and replicate it | 23:34 |
| maestrojed | Doesn't really matter | 23:34 |
| nacc | maestrojed: in ubuntu, sudo is recommended | 23:34 |
| nacc | maestrojed: rather than using the root user | 23:34 |
| maestrojed | I know. I only had root until I created MyNewUser | 23:35 |
| nacc | maestrojed: that would be because you again, used useradd rather than adduser; so you were missing a skeleton home directory and file s | 23:35 |
| nacc | maestrojed: e.g., .bashrc etc | 23:35 |
| maestrojed | I am trying to get to the place to not use root and only sudo | 23:35 |
| maestrojed | nacc gotcha. makes sense. Thanks! | 23:35 |
| nacc | maestrojed: how did you have root in the first place? no default install of ubuntu has root as a user (afaik) anymore | 23:35 |
| maestrojed | nacc a provisioning from DigitalOcean | 23:36 |
| maestrojed | "LAMP on Ubuntu 14" | 23:36 |
| nacc | ah | 23:36 |
| maestrojed | Trying to make it more secure before I take it to production. | 23:36 |
| dreadkop_ | hey guys. i am in a ubuntu 16.04 trying to mount a exfat partition. i need exfat-fuse and exfat-utils as i read however apt-get says there is no package of this name... aptitude search also give no package when searching for 'exfat' | 23:42 |
| maestrojed | Would I cause concern if I just copied my .bashrc from the root user (/root) to my user (/home/myNewUser)? | 23:42 |
| maxb | Erm, "no default install of ubuntu has root as a user (afaik) anymore", is somewhat inaccurate. Every installation of Ubuntu has a root user. Ubuntu merely encourages you not to use it except when you explicitly need elevated privileges | 23:43 |
| \9 | maestrojed: why from /root/ and not /etc/skel/.bashrc? | 23:45 |
| WhiteNight | Files from /root are specific to the root user only. and files from /etc/skel are like template files which should be applied for all other non-root users | 23:46 |
| \9 | right | 23:46 |
| maestrojed | \9 because I didn't know better. | 23:46 |
| WhiteNight | np | 23:46 |
| maestrojed | :) I will adjust. | 23:46 |
| maestrojed | thanks | 23:46 |
| dreadkop_ | tried to build exfat-fuse from git but it says Package requirements (fuse) not met. However fuse is installed? anyone might help? i am confused | 23:48 |
| theskillwithin | im on ubunbut now =] | 23:48 |
| vlt | dreadkop_: exfat-fuse is available in universe. | 23:50 |
| vlt | dreadkop_: No need to build it. | 23:50 |
| maestrojed | Ok, Sorry, this is a lot of 101 stuff. I can shut up an go to google if this is annoying. | 23:50 |
| dreadkop_ | vlt: ah. thanks for the hint. for some reason univers repo was unchecked. however strange the git build complains about missing fuse | 23:51 |
| maestrojed | I copied the .bashrc from the skeleton directory. Things still see 'weird' to me on the CLI | 23:51 |
| maestrojed | example. Pressing up arrow key typically cycles through my last run commands but not with this user. | 23:51 |
| WhiteNight | maestrojed, the .bashrc file in the home directory of your user should be present, which imports most of the things from the system bashrc, which in Ubuntu is /etc/bash.bashrc | 23:52 |
| Guy1524 | hey guys, what is the best way to completely reinstall ubuntu but keep some files | 23:53 |
| maestrojed | WhiteNight ok, I can try grabbing that one. I created my user incorrectly in a way that did not do all that for me. Trying to clean up. I used useradd instead of adduser. nacc helped me realize that :) | 23:53 |
| dax | put the files on external storage and then reinstall :| | 23:53 |
| Guy1524 | should I just back them up to my secondary storage drive and put them back on | 23:53 |
| maestrojed | :) | 23:54 |
| === fernando is now known as Guest21118 | ||
| dax | that'd be my recommendation. safer than more complicated ideas. | 23:54 |
| Guy1524 | k | 23:54 |
| WhiteNight | Guy1524, since you are doing a re-install, you might want to consider having a separate /data partition so that whenever you re-install etc. you never have to backup (Although external storage backup is always a good idea) | 23:55 |
| Guy1524 | how do I make a seperate partition for my home folder | 23:55 |
| Guy1524 | I have heard about people doing it before but I have never looked into it | 23:56 |
| WhiteNight | maestrojed, how did you create the User ID? Creating via using the useradd command, may not effectively get you all stuffs that you may need. Try the User Add feature from the Control Panel (Settings) option on your system. That will run that command in the background with all the options needed and it will include all necessary files needed for the new user, and Ibelieve you shouldnt be facing such issues | 23:56 |
| WhiteNight | Guy1524, I gtg, sorry, but a quick thing is, on the Partition Page of the Ubuntu Installer, choose custom ..... and follow it from there | 23:57 |
| Guy1524 | ok thanks | 23:57 |
| WhiteNight | rest, please do put your questions, someone else would answer if they are free, thanks | 23:58 |
| maestrojed | WhiteNight This is ununtu server. No GUI. Which I think is what you mean by "control panel". But okay, should I delete the user and start over? Can I just run adduser even though I already created the user with useradd? | 23:58 |
| maestrojed | WhiteNight I created this user with "useradd -g www-data myNewUser" | 23:58 |
| WhiteNight | maestrojed, sorry, gtg, wait for somebody else to answer, or you can try the Ubuntu forums as per the guidelines of this channel | 23:58 |
| maestrojed | WhiteNight thanks for the help man! have a great week | 23:59 |
| maestrojed | end.... | 23:59 |
