| ubuntu-mate | hey guys | 00:13 |
| geekinutah | is there a way I can force the emergency initrd shell? | 00:13 |
| ubuntu-mate | idk\ | 00:13 |
| geekinutah | like a kernel commandline option or something? | 00:14 |
| ubuntu-mate | perhaps yeah+ | 00:14 |
| Bashing-om | geekinutah: Boot to the grub boot menu .. ubuntu kernel selected for boot .. and press the 'c' key for a (C)ommnad line interface . | 00:15 |
| riz0n | Hello guys... I have a really big problem, and I hope you can help me solve it. I have Ubuntu 14.04.3 on a mighty old HP DL380 G3 server. After a couple of days I get an "NMI PCI System Error" message in the kernel log, and everything goes downhill from there. My research tells me that the error is most likely due to the video drivers. I do not know what is in the machine, but I do not have | 00:16 |
| riz0n | "X" set up, all CLi (it is a server)... what do I need to do or put in grub to get this thing to boot using the most BASIC video drivers out there to see if I can stop the NMI errors? | 00:16 |
| geekinutah | Bashing-om: and then append "break" to the line that starts with linux? | 00:18 |
| geekinutah | I found this elsewhere, about to try | 00:19 |
| Bashing-om | geekinutah: What is the end goal here .. a particular issue ? | 00:20 |

| maestrojed | nacc thanks | 00:26 |
| nacc | maestrojed: cool, that's probably the most straightforward "fix" :) | 00:26 |
| maestrojed | yeap. Next I will remove password authentication for these users. Then I should be in a good spot | 00:27 |

| Guy1524 | is 250MB enough | 01:11 |
| tgm4883 | minasota: well you're asking in a support channel with a bunch of volunteers that aren't going to have inside information | 01:12 |
| tgm4883 | minasota: also, not really a support question | 01:12 |
| tgm4883 | minasota: but since that was yesterday, I'd say pretty quickly? | 01:12 |

| skweek | is there a problem with creating an invisible swap file and keeping it in your home directory if you for instance didn't have the space on a root partition, where you have a seperate home partition | 01:14 |
| Guy1524 | Jordan_U: thanks | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | Guy1524: You're welcome. | 01:14 |
| Jordan_U | skweek: I'm not sure what you mean by "invisible". You can't hibernate to a swap file (with the default hibernation implementation in Ubuntu). | 01:15 |
| skweek | I mean to just prepend a . | 01:15 |
| Jordan_U | skweek: Ahh, the standard terminology is "hidden" :) | 01:16 |
| tgm4883 | skweek: your swap partition doesn't need to be anywhere near your root partition | 01:16 |

So we make a script that automatically detects the DMCA emails, grabs the IP address from it, looks it | 01:21 |

| theskillwithin | is there a web dev, or developer meta package for ubuntu? like including git and such? | 01:30 |
| tgm4883 | theskillwithin: doesn't seem to be one | 01:33 |
| theskillwithin | tgm4883, aww that makes me a sad panda | 01:37 |
| YankDownUnder | theskillwithin: There are heaps of packages for doing webdev...just a matter of looking...and settling on what you think works best for you, really. | 01:37 |
| theskillwithin | so I have been googling web dev metapackage | 01:37 |
| theskillwithin | I think i am looking in the wrong places | 01:37 |
| tgm4883 | YankDownUnder: he was looking for a metapackage | 01:37 |
| theskillwithin | lol Idk I expected git to come pre-installed | 01:38 |
| theskillwithin | idk why i* | 01:38 |
| tgm4883 | theskillwithin: it's preinstalled on ubuntu server, for some dumb reason | 01:38 |
| YankDownUnder | I'll go back to my coffee and porridge. | 01:38 |
| theskillwithin | on osx there is like a"developer" package you install | 01:38 |
| owen1 | i would like to use the default .Xresources file. how do i get one? | 01:39 |
| tgm4883 | theskillwithin: Look around, you aren't on OSX | 01:39 |
| tgm4883 | theskillwithin: you're free to make a metapackage for it if you want | 01:39 |
| fpqc | hi there, I was wondering, I wanted to recompile a few packages, strace and sudo, where can I find the sources for trusty? | 01:39 |
| theskillwithin | oo this might be fun, I might try to set up sudo to work with a yubi key instead of typing my pw in every time | 01:39 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: "apt source <package_name_that_contains_those_files>" ? | 01:40 |
| theskillwithin | im installing oh my zsh now | 01:40 |
| fpqc | tgm4883, well I'm on xenial but I want to recompile trusty's sudo | 01:41 |
| fpqc | bc reasons | 01:41 |
| theskillwithin | hmm is there like a web site that shows the apt-get packages | 01:41 |
| fpqc | and install it in /usr/local | 01:41 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: install 14.04 in a lxd container and pull it down there | 01:41 |
| fpqc | messing around with a nonstandard kernel | 01:41 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: or you could download it manually | 01:41 |
| fpqc | tgm4883 and then what, just sudo install /usr/local/bin ? | 01:42 |
| fpqc | sudo install sudo pkgname /usr/local/bin | 01:42 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: huh? | 01:42 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: you'd still need to compile and install them | 01:42 |
| fpqc | tgm sure couldn't I just manually download the binary with wget | 01:43 |
| fpqc | or should I recompile from source | 01:43 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: you should recompile | 01:43 |
| Hydr0p0nX | I think i have a root filesystem problem | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: grabbing the binary probably won't work since it's going to be built against trusty stuff | 01:44 |
| fpqc | mhm | 01:44 |
| Hydr0p0nX | 451 - 420 != 7.5 right ? | 01:44 |
| fpqc | so where can I manually find the sources | 01:44 |
| fpqc | and also how can I make sure that when I do make install it gets installed to /usr/local instead of / | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/strace http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/sudo | 01:44 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: with the questions you're asking, might I ask why you are doing this? | 01:44 |
| fpqc | tgm4883 you're not going to like the answer =\ | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: why is that | 01:45 |
| fpqc | bc I'm using a very unsupported configuration =< | 01:45 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: how unsupported? | 01:46 |
| fpqc | my linux is windows | 01:46 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: you're using the ubuntu on win 10 stuff? | 01:46 |
| fpqc | yeah but upgrading to xenial | 01:46 |
| fpqc | but strace and sudo are broken in xenial | 01:46 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: hmm | 01:46 |
| fpqc | so I need to back-install the trusty versions | 01:46 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: well, there's a whole channel for ubuntu on windows stuff #ubuntu-on-windows | 01:47 |
| fpqc | in /usr/local so they don't get obliterated by apt upgrade | 01:47 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: so you might want to at least let them know that it's broken with 16.04 | 01:47 |
| tgm4883 | maybe file a bug | 01:47 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: you can grab the sources from the links above | 01:47 |
| fpqc | tgm4883 it's not a bug, xenial isn't supported yet | 01:47 |
| fpqc | yeah tgm4883 okay so let me explain what I mean | 01:47 |
| fpqc | I've built packages from source before with cmake | 01:48 |
| fpqc | but there is an option DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= | 01:48 |
| fpqc | and you would put /usr/local in that | 01:48 |
| tgm4883 | ok | 01:48 |
| fpqc | how do I do that with things that don't use cmake | 01:48 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: Depends on what those packages use. I've seen --prefix=<DIR> as well as INSTALL_ROOT depending on what's being used | 01:49 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: you might just have to dig into the packaging of it | 01:49 |
| fpqc | tgm4883 edit in the makefile? | 01:50 |
| fpqc | or where should I look? | 01:51 |
| fpqc | also, what packages to I need to install in order to build? | 01:52 |
| fpqc | is there an ubuntu package I can install that works like base-dev in arch? | 01:52 |
| fpqc | that installs all the build tools | 01:52 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: actually, download the source and the debian tarball and you should see the .install files in there | 01:52 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: build-essential | 01:52 |
| fpqc | ah | 01:52 |
| fpqc | cool thanks | 01:53 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: good luck, I've got to cook some dinner | 01:53 |
| fpqc | oh wait really quick, is there a package called build that has more tools? | 01:53 |
| fpqc | that's more extensive than build-essential? | 01:53 |
| theskillwithin | hmm maybe I should change away from the default ubuntu theme, but I do like the sidebar better than osx's on this one tho | 01:55 |

| Guy1524 | ok thanks | 02:04 |
| Guy1524 | are these drivers any less stable than the ones in the official ubuntu repos? | 02:04 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: read the page for the warnings | 02:05 |
| Guy1524 | ok thanks | 02:05 |
| Guy1524 | would you happen to know if nvidia-361 has support for vulkan? | 02:06 |

| Guest42811 | hey I have an ubuntu question I looked on the forums and online search couldn't find and answer | 02:12 |
| Guest42811 | Running 16.04 and have built in speakers in my laptop and also external speakers connected via aux port, I want to play sound from both speakers at the same time | 02:12 |
| Guest42811 | I have seen answers using the realtek audio manager on a Windows pc, but the sound settings on ubuntu is lacking the same intricacy | 02:13 |
| Guest42811 | Any advice would be highly appreciated | 02:13 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: There are many options in Ubuntu. This is truly not a new question. Have you looked into the forums, or have you experimented with the sound settings/hardware settings on your system as of yet? | 02:16 |
| Guest42811 | YankDownUnder: Yes I have experimented with system sound settings, they are very minimal, is there perhaps an alternative sound management/settings program I can download? | 02:17 |
| jsheedy | alsamixer? | 02:17 |
| Guest42811 | I have perused the forums to no avail, and online searches via google only come back with Windows related options and solutions | 02:17 |
| uberdub | I cant do this any more | 02:18 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: Alsamixer is one. If you look through the "Software Centre" - or even better yet, if you install "Synpatic Package Manager" - you can see all of the different mixing programs/utilities - along with heaps other sound/audio related stuff...there's actually tonnes. | 02:18 |
| uberdub | im istalling windows | 02:18 |
| uberdub | this is just ridiculous | 02:18 |
| Guest42811 | Alsamixer, ok | 02:18 |
| YankDownUnder | uberdub: I'm sorry for your pain. | 02:18 |
| uberdub | I need a system that actually works that I dont have to be tinkering on for hours just to use | 02:18 |
| Guest42811 | If i grab alsamixer is it a simple fix? can you guide me through the process? YankDownUnder | 02:19 |
| uberdub | to use basic functions no less | 02:19 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: what do you need it to do that it's not doing yet? | 02:19 |
| uberdub | run without issues | 02:19 |
| jsheedy | maybe already installed? | 02:19 |
| uberdub | linux is just still not ready for endusers | 02:19 |
| _AxS_ | Guest42811: alsamixer from the command line will allow you to un-mute everything, which as long as you have driver support should likely be all you need to do. | 02:19 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: you need to be a *lot* more specific. | 02:19 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: I can't "guide you through" - as per my last comment, you should install "Synaptic Package Manager" and truly look at all there is...if you want a fast fix, well, I can only state "Alsamixer"...but remember, patience is a virtue. | 02:20 |
| uberdub | im not a developer I dont have time for this crap | 02:20 |
| uberdub | how bout boot up? | 02:20 |
| Guest42811 | YankDownUnder thank you | 02:20 |
| uberdub | for starters | 02:20 |
| Guest42811 | _AxS_ i want to play music from both internal and external speakers, i hope this works | 02:20 |
| uberdub | its so senstitve | 02:20 |
| jsheedy | userdub: arrow right a lot | 02:20 |
| jsheedy | oops | 02:20 |

| uberdub | dude | 02:21 |
| uberdub | Ive been running linux for 12 years | 02:21 |
| uberdub | its installed fine | 02:21 |

| uberdub | but it never stays that way | 02:21 |
| uberdub | idk | 02:22 |
| YankDownUnder | uberdub: Good for you. Glad to hear it. But please don't attach or whine and whinge at me - or anyone else in this channel. If you're frustated, take it out on someone or something else. | 02:22 |
| Tin_man | so after 12 years it broke? | 02:22 |
| uberdub | Im not going to get a cs degre trying to figure it out either | 02:22 |

| uberdub | ubuntu is sensitive | 02:23 |
| Guy1524 | hey guys, after installing nvidia-361, my computer takes much longer to boot. Before it didn't even take 5 seconds and now it takes 30. Plus there is no ubuntu splash screen anymore, just a purple screen | 02:23 |
| _AxS_ | oh gawd, so its a dell.. | 02:23 |
| uberdub | steamos was buggy crap | 02:23 |
| uberdub | steam machine | 02:23 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: isn't proprietary drivers fun? | 02:23 |
| * YankDownUnder giggles at Alienware/Dell | 02:23 | |
| YankDownUnder | Time for donuts and coffee. | 02:23 |
| uberdub | kubuntu doesnt run any better on this hardware | 02:23 |
| plop_its_ellie | steam os is not "stable" yet | 02:24 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: why would it? the only difference is kde vs gnome or whatever | 02:24 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: well nouveau performs like shit and doesn't work w/ steam right | 02:24 |
| plop_its_ellie | valve time | 02:24 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: yep. welcome to the life of an nvidia user | 02:24 |
| uberdub | if its not stable why they release it? | 02:24 |
| uberdub | why is it in the wild for endusers? | 02:24 |
| plop_its_ellie | when you install the proprietary nvidia drivers the framebuffer gets all messsed up so your boot looks ugly | 02:24 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: because people want to use it even if its not fully stable | 02:25 |
| plop_its_ellie | a workaround would be to disable the splash screen entirely | 02:25 |
| uberdub | so ship it with a boxed "console"???? | 02:25 |
| uberdub | I cant even get into that stuff now | 02:25 |
| uberdub | and it wants me to reinstall | 02:25 |
| Guy1524 | here is my dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19580228/ | 02:25 |

| _AxS_ | Guy1524: nvidia-drivers and the framebuffer (any of them) are incompatible. if you try to make them both work together you are likely to get segfaults. just don't. if you want performance, you will have to forego the pretty console stuff | 02:26 |
| plop_its_ellie | uberdub, its not shipped as a final product, you are basically beta testing/playing with it | 02:27 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: Is this going to drift towards a support question soon? | 02:27 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: I just dont want my boot to hang for 25 seconds | 02:27 |
| Guy1524 | see the jump from 3 to 28 | 02:27 |
| uberdub | for the first time in 12 years..im installing winblows | 02:27 |
| uberdub | god I want to punch something | 02:28 |
| Guy1524 | why are you installing it? | 02:28 |
| uberdub | how did I get suckered in to this | 02:28 |
| Guy1524 | you did pirate it right lol | 02:28 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg | 02:28 |
| uberdub | becaue I want a functioning machine | 02:28 |
| theskillwithin | how do I install php7? particularly for the cli | 02:28 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: well, NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 23s! [nvidia-smi:487] <-- that's your problem. newer (or older) driver might help | 02:28 |
| uberdub | I dont even know how to pirate that crap its been so long | 02:28 |
| tgm4883 | can we stay on topic please | 02:29 |
| uberdub | I downloaded win10 pro | 02:29 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: but as i said, try to disable the framebuffer or ensure no framebuffer is loaded | 02:29 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:29 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: uh, thanks? | 02:29 |
| uberdub | topic: how to delete ubuntu, and install win? | 02:29 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: you install windows | 02:29 |
| uberdub | how? | 02:29 |
| tgm4883 | !windows | 02:29 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: I thought you wanted the output | 02:29 |

| plop_its_ellie | steam os is not a stable or final product at yet lol | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: try there ^ | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: well the output you are going to get is an image file | 02:30 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: how do I do that | 02:30 |
| plop_its_ellie | lol why is there a !windows here | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | plop_its_ellie: so we can direct windows users to the right channel | 02:30 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: derp | 02:30 |
| Guy1524 | I sent you the wrong link | 02:30 |
| Hydr0p0nX | woohoo ! figured out what caused my space issues | 02:30 |
| plop_its_ellie | tgm4883, oh, i didnt know that happened on a regular basis | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: yea :) | 02:30 |
| tgm4883 | plop_its_ellie: yep, way more often than it should be | 02:31 |
| uberdub | with startup disk creator? | 02:31 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: well i'm a gentooer so for me, it's rebuild the kernel and make sure theyre all off. for ubuntu, theres likely an easier way | 02:31 |
| === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo | ||
| tgm4883 | uberdub: no idea | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: ok, one sec | 02:31 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: I'd doubt the startup disk creator can do it though. You could try | 02:31 |
| uberdub | ubuntu shouldnt be having issues as well. | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: I tried pastebiniting it | 02:31 |
| Guy1524 | do you want me to send you the image? | 02:32 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: you'd have to upload it to imgur | 02:32 |
| tgm4883 | Guy1524: probably not necessary since plop_its_ellie pointed out why it was booting slow | 02:32 |
| tgm4883 | but you can if you want | 02:32 |
| uberdub | so youre telling me this hardware just doesnt play nice? | 02:32 |
| _AxS_ | Anybody know how to fix nvidia-prime so i can actually use the nvidia side, on ubuntu 14.04? | 02:32 |
| Guy1524 | imgur doesn't want to take teh image | 02:32 |
| _AxS_ | prime-select keeps failing on 'alternatives' | 02:32 |
| Guy1524 | ill upload it to my server | 02:33 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: http://173.72.189.135/plot.svg | 02:35 |
| uberdub | it is going to be amazing when things actually work | 02:35 |
| uberdub | been a glutton for punishment for so long | 02:35 |
| Guy1524 | plop_its_ellie: sorry I didn't see your earlier message, how do I disabled the splash screen entirely | 02:36 |
| uberdub | imagine a worls, where you click on something....and you dont have to hardcode it, or edit a config file, or spend hours or days getting apps to do basic functions | 02:36 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: I'm too busy trying to imagine a world where you stay on topic | 02:37 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: ok i see you're booting with 'efifb' .. i'm still using older non-efi systems so i can't say if you can even make that optional | 02:37 |
| HoloIRCUser | !ot > uberdub: | 02:37 |
| Guy1524 | tgm4883: lol | 02:37 |
| uberdub | like right now | 02:38 |
| uberdub | god forbid you plug in a thumb drive and it works with out screwing with it just to get it to mount | 02:39 |
| uberdub | this was fun 10 years ago when I worked in it | 02:39 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: dood, have you just not updated your installs since 2004 ? | 02:39 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: any support questions coming? | 02:39 |
| plop_its_ellie | Guy1524, you can edit /etc/default/grub file | 02:40 |
| plop_its_ellie | replace "splash" with text | 02:40 |
| plop_its_ellie | then run the command "update-grub" | 02:40 |
| _AxS_ | plop_its_ellie: can efifb be disabled via a kernel commandline option? | 02:40 |
| Guy1524 | ok thanks | 02:40 |
| plop_its_ellie | all of that as root (using sudo of course) | 02:40 |
| plop_its_ellie | _AxS_, not sure, i havent dealt with that before | 02:41 |
| Guy1524 | so quite text instead of quite splash | 02:41 |
| theskillwithin | hmm what do you use on ubuntu instead of http://www.sequelpro.com/ | 02:41 |
| cfhowlett | !spl | theskillwithin | 02:42 |
| Guy1524 | plop_its_ellie: ok, Im trying it now, Ill tell u if it works | 02:42 |
| cfhowlett | !sql | 02:42 |
| plop_its_ellie | ok | 02:42 |
| theskillwithin | !sql | 02:43 |
| theskillwithin | hmm no applications folder, is there a convention to where I would install say phpstorm | 02:43 |
| cfhowlett | theskillwithin, I believe mysql is the correct package | 02:44 |
| Guy1524 | ok, Im back, what plop_its_ellie told be to do disabled the splash screen, but didn't fix anything | 02:44 |
| Guy1524 | also, my computer won't shut down anymore w/o me forcing the power off | 02:45 |
| _AxS_ | plop_its_ellie: the only easy to do fix for the nvidia-smi soft-lockup that i can guess at would be to disable all fb support so nvidia has the only graphical control. | 02:45 |
| plop_its_ellie | Guy1524, you did what i told you? | 02:45 |
| Guy1524 | yes | 02:45 |
| theskillwithin | cfhowlett, oh oops I mean gui but I would have to install mysql first anyways first ha | 02:45 |
| Guy1524 | there was no splash screen, but it still hung | 02:45 |
| Guy1524 | dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19582142/ | 02:45 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: try newer and/or older nvidia drivers as well | 02:46 |
| plop_its_ellie | _AxS_, ah ok | 02:46 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: the same problem happens with nvidia-367 and I need vulkan support as I am developing a vulkan game engine | 02:46 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: you changing kernels too or just nvidia-drivers? | 02:47 |
| Guy1524 | All ive done is changed from noveau to nvidia-361 on a fresh installation and I did the no splashscreen thing | 02:48 |
| uberdub | omg | 02:49 |
| uberdub | so apparently because I used my usb drive to install kubuntu its read only | 02:50 |
| _AxS_ | Guy1524: maybe ask in #ubuntu-x , they seem to know more about vulkan | 02:50 |
| uberdub | I cant reformat the drive | 02:50 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[device-for-usb]' , then it won't be readonly | 02:50 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: this doesn't have to do w/ vulkan, I just need to make sure that the driver I am using supports it | 02:51 |
| uberdub | ? | 02:51 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: the usb drive has a readonly fs image on it. but if you write nothing to the device you nuke that readonly fs and can do whatever you want again | 02:51 |
| _AxS_ | s/nothing/zeros/ | 02:51 |
| uberdub | access denied | 02:52 |

| uberdub | with sudo | 02:54 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: why are you using 'rm' ?? | 02:54 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: why are you trying to rm it? | 02:54 |
| uberdub | so what is it im supposed to do?????????????? | 02:54 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: run the command i told you | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: follow the directions that were given to you... stop acting like a child... | 02:55 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: unmount it, then run 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[usb-device -- probably 'sdb']' | 02:55 |
| uberdub | I DID | 02:55 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: the command you just posted says you ran rm | 02:56 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: you didn't, if you used 'rm' | 02:56 |
| uberdub | dd: writing to '/dev/[device-for-usb]': No space left on device | 02:56 |
| uberdub | 8034233+0 records in | 02:56 |

| uberdub | this is what Im talking about | 02:58 |
| cfhowlett | R3al, this is a server?? | 02:58 |
| crafty1 | theres no way he wrote zeroes all over that disk in like 5 seconds | 02:58 |
| Guy1524 | _AxS_: I dont need help with vulkan, I need help with my computer being able to properly shut down and hanging on boot | 02:58 |
| plop_its_ellie | that command is suppose to write zeros to the drive | 02:58 |

| uberdub | whatever I have to do to instal an os that actually works | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: ok, your USB device is /dev/sdb so you need to use that in the dd command you were given | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: you know, you make it difficult to want to help you | 03:04 |
| uberdub | where? | 03:04 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: the part that says "/dev/sdX" you were supposed to replace the X with your device letter "b" | 03:05 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: I'm sorry that wasn't clear earlier | 03:05 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: How exactly are your external speakers connected to your laptop...? | 03:05 |
| uberdub | Why do I have to come to come in to irc channels, and beg and plead just for my os to use its basic functions? | 03:06 |
| Guest42811 | YankDownUnder via aux port | 03:06 |
| Guest42811 | Auxilliary cord | 03:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | uberdub, whats the issue? | 03:06 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: Headphone jack? | 03:06 |
| cfhowlett | uberdub, drop the attitude. you are truly not helping your case. | 03:06 |
| uberdub | Id rather just use something that works | 03:06 |
| plop_its_ellie | keep in mind we are just volenteers in here... | 03:06 |
| Guest42811 | Yes YankDownUnder | 03:06 |
| uberdub | yeah thats the prolem | 03:06 |
| tgm4883 | lets stay civil everyone | 03:06 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: what's the problem? when you ran it before it cleaned the stick, why can't you just partition it now? | 03:07 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: or write your new fs image on top? | 03:07 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: So, it's the hardware. Not the OS. Once you plug something into the headphone jack, the "external" speakers are cut-off. | 03:07 |
| plop_its_ellie | oh he/she is trying to wipe the disk? | 03:07 |
| Guest42811 | No way to bypass that YankDownUnder? | 03:07 |
| Guest42811 | What if I connect speakers via USB? | 03:08 |
| _AxS_ | plop_its_ellie: yeah kubuntu made it 'readonly', as its likely it was a livecd image written to the stick | 03:08 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19584319/ | 03:08 |
| _AxS_ | Guest42811: usb speakers are effectively their own sound card, so yes | 03:08 |
| uberdub | same error | 03:08 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: that's not an error | 03:08 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: that's not an error. | 03:08 |
| YankDownUnder | Guest42811: I've done some searching...however, yes, the USB would allow for "pass through" - as then you'd have the "external" speakers - via USB - show up as an "extra" set of speakers. | 03:08 |
| plop_its_ellie | thats not an error | 03:08 |
| plop_its_ellie | it did its job | 03:08 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: now, yank out the stick, plug it in again, and its going to be clean | 03:08 |
| uberdub | the files are still on the disk | 03:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | yep | 03:09 |
| uberdub | the drive | 03:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | take it out and put it back in | 03:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | there is a tool called gparted which you can use to partition the drive | 03:09 |
| uberdub | and again its not recognized | 03:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | uberdub, it has no filesystem on the disk so its not going to show up in the file browser | 03:09 |
| plop_its_ellie | so you can install gparted via the command line with sudo apt-get install gparted | 03:10 |
| _AxS_ | or just run 'fdisk' | 03:10 |
| plop_its_ellie | that works too | 03:10 |
| uberdub | gparted wouldnt even see it | 03:10 |
| _AxS_ | or "dd if=/path/to/windows/boot.img of=/dev/sdb" | 03:11 |
| uberdub | now how in the world do i install winblows on this thing in linux | 03:11 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: did you try? | 03:11 |
| uberdub | I cant even see the drive now | 03:11 |
| uberdub | let alone transfer files to it | 03:11 |
| plop_its_ellie | oh we are helping him with windows shiz?????? | 03:11 |
| === jacob is now known as GuestDude | ||
| uberdub | im still in ubuntu | 03:12 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: you can't transfer files because there's no filesystem to transfer to. you don't expect to *copy* stuff to the usb stick to make it work ? | 03:12 |
| cfhowlett | plop_its_ellie, we shouldn't be ... | 03:12 |
| uberdub | windows has actual support | 03:12 |
| * plop_its_ellie does not support windows | 03:12 | |
| GuestDude | _AxS_ if I purchase a 3.5mm Aux to USB converter, will I be able to accomplish my goal? | 03:12 |
| === de-facto_ is now known as de-facto | ||
| plop_its_ellie | except when im forced to at work | 03:12 |
| GuestDude | _AxS_ because my speakers themselves only have a 3.5mm male audio jack | 03:12 |
| _AxS_ | GuestDude: dunno, possible yes | 03:12 |
| uberdub | so now what? | 03:13 |
| === fginther` is now known as fginther | ||
| _AxS_ | uberdub: get a bootable iso of windows so you can write that to the usb stick. then boot the usb stick. | 03:13 |
| uberdub | how? | 03:13 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: go to that other channel and follow their instructions | 03:13 |
| uberdub | how in the world to I transfer it to a usb stick that I cant even see??? | 03:13 |
| Guy1524 | I found the solution to my problem | 03:14 |
| Guy1524 | I just had to add nomodeset | 03:14 |
| Guy1524 | and now everything works (: | 03:14 |
| uberdub | im in kubuntu not windows | 03:14 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: plug it back in, then you can see it again | 03:14 |
| cfhowlett | Guy1524, yeah that usually does it :) | 03:14 |
| YankDownUnder | uberdub: You can install "WinUSB" through PPA for linux....http://www.webupd8.org/2016/06/make-bootable-windows-10-usb-install.html | 03:14 |
| uberdub | no | 03:14 |
| uberdub | it doesnt show up | 03:14 |
| uberdub | nothing | 03:14 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: where doesn';t it show up? | 03:14 |
| tgm4883 | _AxS_: it has no partition table | 03:14 |
| _AxS_ | tgm4883: the device should be there tho | 03:15 |
| uberdub | wow | 03:15 |
| uberdub | just wow | 03:15 |
| tgm4883 | _AxS_: has anyone asked him where he's looking? | 03:15 |
| uberdub | this really shouldnt be so difficult | 03:15 |
| _AxS_ | tgm4883: sort of | 03:15 |
| tgm4883 | _AxS_: I'd bet the device is showing up, but since there is no filesystem it's not showing up in dolphin | 03:16 |
| * tgm4883 assumes Kubuntu uses dolphin | 03:16 | |
| plop_its_ellie | lol i said that already | 03:17 |
| _AxS_ | tgm4883: yep i'm with you on that too. but this guy's saying it wont' be in gparted or anywhere else either. | 03:17 |
| _AxS_ | but he's not willing to bother actually trying, so | 03:17 |
| plop_its_ellie | it will not show up in a file browser in ANY os including windows | 03:17 |
| plop_its_ellie | it has NO filesystem on it | 03:17 |
| uberdub | trying? | 03:17 |
| uberdub | 2 hours | 03:17 |
| uberdub | 2 friggin hours to do a extremely basic function | 03:18 |
| tgm4883 | uberdub: have you installed WinUSB yet? | 03:18 |
| plop_its_ellie | uberdub, i think maybe you should just take a break then come back to it when you are feeling more calm | 03:18 |
| uberdub | and still no where | 03:18 |
| uberdub | that link is bad | 03:18 |
| plop_its_ellie | uberdub, its a basic function but you dont know what you are doing | 03:18 |
| plop_its_ellie | so of course its going to seem hard | 03:18 |
| YankDownUnder | Oddly enough, I'm on the link right now. It's rather alive. | 03:18 |
| plop_its_ellie | cuz you DONT know what you are doing | 03:18 |
| tgm4883 | let's stay civil please | 03:19 |
| plop_its_ellie | and we are trying to help you, I can undesrstand that you are fustrated but you need to chil, we are only trying to help... | 03:19 |

| cfhowlett | uberdub, abusing the volunteers like this will result in you getting added to /ignore. chill. | 03:19 |
| uberdub | know what im doing | 03:19 |
| YankDownUnder | Yes. So so obvious. | 03:20 |
| waxhead | dumb quesiton, but if you change the permissions of a directory, do you have to log out and in again? | 03:20 |
| uberdub | dude | 03:20 |
| tgm4883 | waxhead: no | 03:20 |
| uberdub | I shouldnt need a friggin cs degree to reformat a drive | 03:20 |
| waxhead | tgm4883, thought so... | 03:20 |
| uberdub | this is supposed to be for endusers | 03:20 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: to recap. there is no FS on that usb stick so its ready to be partitioned/formatted or to have an image written to it. use a tool to do such things. | 03:20 |
| waxhead | for some reason I'm dumbfounded with permissions | 03:20 |
| YankDownUnder | ubuntulog: Have fun. Enjoy. | 03:20 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: what're you trying to do? | 03:21 |
| waxhead | setup group permissions on a directory and then share that over samba | 03:21 |
| fpqc | tgm4883, figured it out | 03:21 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: sweet | 03:21 |
| waxhead | drwxrwsr-- 13 root mythtv 260 Jul 15 22:55 movies | 03:21 |
| fpqc | you do ./configure --prefix=/usr/local | 03:21 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: when you say group, do you mean unix group or some other meaning of group? | 03:22 |
| fpqc | then make and make install | 03:22 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: yep, that's the --prefix I was talking about. | 03:22 |
| waxhead | and in the gorup mythtv I have my account and mythtv users in it... | 03:22 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, unix group | 03:22 |
| fpqc | how do I make it so when I call sudo, it looks for the one in /usr/local | 03:22 |
| fpqc | instead of in / | 03:22 |
| tgm4883 | fpqc: an alias | 03:22 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: you asking to add something to your path? | 03:22 |
| waxhead | And this is the /etc/group mythtv:x:1003:pete,mythtv | 03:23 |
| fpqc | _AxS_, it's in my path, but I want one to take precedence over the default | 03:23 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: change the order of the elements in your path | 03:23 |
| fpqc | ? | 03:23 |
| fpqc | i don't have a path configured in my bashrc or bash profile by default, do I? | 03:24 |
| fpqc | it's just the default if I didn't touch it, no? | 03:24 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: the system one is. echo $PATH to see it | 03:24 |
| fpqc | so how would I do it for my user? | 03:24 |
| fpqc | copy it from echo $PATH, rearrange, then add to bashrc export PATH=... | 03:25 |
| fpqc | I want to do it systemwide though | 03:25 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: if in ~/.bash_profile you set PATH= (and i think 'export PATH') with all the same elements but with /usr/local first it will be used first | 03:25 |
| fpqc | do I need to export path in my bash_profile? | 03:25 |
| fpqc | also, I use zsh anyhow | 03:25 |
| Sachin | fpqc | 03:26 |
| fpqc | hiya Sachin | 03:26 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: unsure, dont remember. try .login ? there's something that's always loaded... | 03:26 |
| === matthew is now known as Guest47310 | ||
| Sachin | hey man i have made a website... and i want to give them to people.... can i do it here? | 03:27 |
| fpqc | _AxS_, that seems bad because I want my custom-compiled sudo to be used for all users | 03:27 |
| fpqc | Sachin, idk why would I know? | 03:27 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: oh, well you can make it global, just edit something in /etc to set it for everyone | 03:27 |
| uberdub | winusb does not see the thumb drive | 03:27 |
| tatertots | hello gentlemen and ladies | 03:27 |
| Sachin | www.pazhanji.org for easy file transfer\ | 03:27 |
| fpqc | _AxS_, can you make a global alias? | 03:27 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: don't make an alias. adjust the path's order so /usr/local/bin comes before /bin and /usr/bin | 03:28 |
| Guest47310 | can anyone help me understand how to fix the issue with "configured multiple times" | 03:28 |
| Guest47310 | http://dpaste.com/38XMKX6 | 03:28 |
| fpqc | _AxS_ okay, where to edit in /etc? | 03:28 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: you need an ubuntu user for that part. | 03:29 |
| uberdub | what did you do to my thum drive? | 03:29 |
| fpqc | _AxS_, lol I'm also not one | 03:29 |
| _AxS_ | fpqc: but likely this can find it: find /etc -type f -exec grep '^PATH' {} + | 03:29 |
| tatertots | so i've been on a quest to rid the long historical list of users that have logged in to the ubuntu 14.04 box http://askubuntu.com/questions/185039/how-do-i-remove-the-last-connected-users-from-the-lightdm-greeter-list | 03:29 |
| fpqc | /etc/environment | 03:30 |
| _AxS_ | there ya go | 03:30 |
| tatertots | thread talks about clearing /var/log/wtmp and /var/log/btmp | 03:30 |
| uberdub | so I guess this thing is a paperweight? | 03:30 |
| uberdub | and you wonder why I get frustrated | 03:31 |
| uberdub | wth | 03:31 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: ls /dev/sd[a-z] , what does it return? | 03:31 |
| tatertots | with some type of '> /var/log/wtmp' command | 03:31 |
| fpqc | oh it looks like /usr/local/bin takes precedence over /bin anyway | 03:31 |
| fpqc | oh happy day | 03:31 |
| uberdub | /dev/sda /dev/sdX | 03:31 |
| tatertots | should i just make a empty file and then 'cat emptyfile > /var/log/wtmp' to clear the file? | 03:32 |
| thechosenginger | can anyone help me understand and explain how to fix " configured multiple times" http://dpaste.com/38XMKX6 | 03:32 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: sdX ? seriously? | 03:33 |
| uberdub | ? | 03:33 |
| tatertots | i guess i could just open them with gedit and delete the content | 03:33 |
| uberdub | that is the output | 03:33 |
| cfhowlett | uberdub, how many times have you been told: DO NOT use sdX. X is a variable. it should be replaced by a number - number revealed by lsblk command | 03:33 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: ok try this. unplug the stick again. count to 5. plug it in again. type 'dmesg' and see what it says just got plugged in | 03:34 |
| uberdub | what are you talking about? | 03:34 |
| cfhowlett | uberdub, not going to waste bandwidth repeating. scroll back. | 03:34 |
| uberdub | winusb sees it now | 03:36 |
| uberdub | and now it doesnt again | 03:36 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: did you unplug it again? :) | 03:36 |
| uberdub | yes | 03:36 |
| uberdub | again | 03:36 |
| uberdub | and again | 03:36 |
| uberdub | and again | 03:36 |
| thechosenginger | can i come here from help on ubuntu mate | 03:36 |
| cfhowlett | thechosenginger, yes. ask. | 03:37 |
| tgm4883 | thechosenginger: yes | 03:37 |
| _AxS_ | thechosenginger: you're in the right place | 03:37 |
| tatertots | uberdub are you trying to identify your usb drive/thumb drive? | 03:37 |
| tatertots | oh nevermind, if getting winusb to see it was what you were trying to accomplish, i'd like to congratulate you. | 03:37 |
| thechosenginger | while running sudo apt-get update it shows that i have files that are configured twice. how do i remove them or change it | 03:37 |
| thechosenginger | http://dpaste.com/38XMKX6 | 03:37 |
| uberdub | why is this so simple in every other os? | 03:38 |
| tatertots | it's actually pretty simple in ubuntu/linux also | 03:38 |
| uberdub | ok | 03:38 |
| Sachin | im using ubuntu 16 64bit on my website www.pazhanji.org is it goood? | 03:38 |
| uberdub | so then how do I do it???? | 03:38 |
| uberdub | why isnt it working? | 03:38 |
| tatertots | glass half empty looks just like a glass half full | 03:38 |
| tgm4883 | tatertots: he's trying to burn a windows ISO to a USB stick | 03:38 |
| === denis is now known as Guest830 | ||
| fpqc | hey, so I'm having trouble recompiling trusty's procps on xenial | 03:39 |
| _AxS_ | does winusb put the iso somewhere? | 03:39 |
| tgm4883 | _AxS_: what do you mean? | 03:39 |
| uberdub | winusb does not see the drive at all | 03:39 |
| fpqc | In file included from top.c:60:0: | 03:39 |
| uberdub | it sees the iso just fine | 03:39 |
| fpqc | top.h:182:4: error: redeclaration of enumerator ‘P_PID’ | 03:39 |
| fpqc | P_PID = 0, P_PPD, | 03:39 |
| spacegoat | Hello. | 03:39 |
| spacegoat | I am having a problem that packages are held with: 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1360:8001::17)] | 03:40 |
| _AxS_ | tgm4883: i mean he has a usb stick, how about we just gove the command to write the image to the stick with dd ? | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | thechosenginger, the error is reportedly in /etc/apt/sourceslist.steam. my suggestion: purge & reinstall steam | 03:40 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19587300/ | 03:40 |
| tgm4883 | _AxS_: would that work for a hybrid ISO? | 03:40 |
| thechosenginger | @cfhowlett how do i go about that | 03:40 |
| _AxS_ | tgm4883: pretty sure yes, in fact i think it only works with a hybrid iso | 03:41 |
| YankDownUnder | https://www.unixmen.com/winusb-create-bootable-windows-usb-linux/ | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | thechosenginger, first dpgk -l steam to get the proper steam package name then sudo apt-get purge steam* | 03:41 |
| thechosenginger | _AxS_: are you trying to dl ubuntu to a usb? | 03:41 |
| _AxS_ | thechosenginger: i'm one of many trying to help uberdub | 03:42 |
| thechosenginger | _AxS_: there is a program that once the package is dl'd it will tranfer it to a ubs. give me amunite to find it | 03:43 |
| tatertots | uberdub you mighty try other usb ports available on your system, if all the usb result in those type of errors you may have other problems going on | 03:44 |
| thechosenginger | cfhowlett: thank you very much | 03:44 |
| cfhowlett | thechosenginger, happy2help! | 03:45 |
| tatertots | 'unable to enumerate USB device' would explain why your software isn't seeing it | 03:45 |
| uberdub | so... | 03:45 |
| uberdub | what do I do with this drive now? | 03:45 |
| uberdub | it worked fine before that dd command | 03:45 |
| waxhead | well, I'm totally confused with this permissions issue... :-/ | 03:46 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: what perms are you trying to set on the directory? | 03:46 |
| uberdub | ? | 03:46 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: also, have you logged out since your user was added to the group? | 03:46 |
| uberdub | user? | 03:46 |
| hiexpo | uberdub, http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/ | 03:47 |
| thechosenginger | _AxS_: i dont know if this will help you any but the program is called rufus | 03:47 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: this isn't to you | 03:47 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, nope... thought you didnt need to? | 03:47 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: not for changing group permissions or ownership no. but to change what groups your user is in, yes. | 03:47 |
| uberdub | hiexpo: im not in windows | 03:48 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, ok.. that's not the issue then... | 03:48 |
| uberdub | im trying to get linux off my steam amchine because it runs for crap | 03:48 |
| hiexpo | uberdub, thats done in linux with a terminal to restore the usb back to it's original state | 03:48 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: so, i'm back to what perms are you trying to set on the directory? | 03:48 |
| uberdub | and Im tired of spending hours and days getting games, and apps to do basic functions | 03:49 |
| hiexpo | uberdub, scroll down | 03:49 |
| uberdub | ahh fdisk | 03:49 |
| hiexpo | yes | 03:49 |
| uberdub | all these commands, and sybtaxes are too damn much to remember for an enduser | 03:49 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19588142 | 03:50 |
| uberdub | seriously | 03:50 |
| hiexpo | that's not hard | 03:50 |
| uberdub | I am a chemist. not a computer scientist or even technician | 03:50 |
| tatertots | uberdub do you want me to help you remotely? | 03:50 |
| uberdub | no I mean in general | 03:50 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, the group mythtv should be read/write in movies ( so fan art etc) can be put there.. | 03:50 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: right, ok. So you need execute perms on dirs if you want anybody to be able to change into them. and 'rws' seems very wrong. | 03:50 |
| uberdub | ubuntu is supposed to be for endusers | 03:50 |
| tatertots | i wouldn't mind helping you out remotely | 03:51 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, that's the sticky bit... | 03:51 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: chown -r :mythtv /mnt/datastore/movies | 03:51 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: why do you want ot sticky? | 03:51 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, just means that the group keeps the perms... | 03:51 |
| uberdub | im pissed I have to install winblows on this hardware | 03:51 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, yep | 03:51 |
| uberdub | half a mind to return it | 03:51 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: and chmod -r 0775 /mnt/datastore/movies (you can make it sticky if you want, i doubt you need to) | 03:52 |
| uberdub | I cant beleive alienware, and valve released this | 03:52 |
| tatertots | don't be pissed, an OS is just a tool that a person uses to accomplish tasks | 03:52 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, this is odd... | 03:52 |
| uberdub | Im basically paying them to beta test their junk | 03:52 |
| waxhead | so I can change dir to TVShows, but not movies... | 03:52 |
| waxhead | same setup, just different gorup name | 03:52 |
| tatertots | Ah you own a steam machine? | 03:52 |
| uberdub | I got into linux 12 year ago working in it | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | uberdub, please rant in someone else's channel. stay on topic here | 03:52 |
| uberdub | IT* | 03:52 |
| theskillwithin | sudo mount -t hfsplus -o force,rw /dev/sdb2 /media/machd mount: mount point /media/machd does not exist | 03:53 |
| uberdub | it was a fu challenge then | 03:53 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: directories need 'x' permissions otherwise they can't be changed into | 03:53 |
| uberdub | now it just gets in the way when things dont work otb | 03:53 |
| uberdub | my time is precious, as is everyones. | 03:53 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, movies and TVShows have the same perms... :) | 03:53 |
| waxhead | the difference is the group | 03:53 |
| uberdub | tatertots yes | 03:54 |
| spacegoat | 22 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them. | 03:54 |
| uberdub | i7 | 03:54 |
| spacegoat | How can update all of them at once? | 03:54 |
| _AxS_ | waxhead: so.. is your user in the mythtv group properly? | 03:54 |
| tatertots | uberdub you worked in linux 'professionally' 12years ago?...in what capacity?...if fdisk-l is too much to remember...i just have to ask in what capacity did you 'work' in linux.....being able to spell linux isn't 'working' in linux professionally | 03:54 |
| _AxS_ | gpasswd -a [user] mythtv | 03:54 |
| waxhead | _AxS_, yep, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19588609/ | 03:55 |
| uberdub | fdisk doesnt see the device | 03:55 |
| tatertots | that's be cause it's not "enumerated" | 03:56 |
| uberdub | ugh | 03:56 |
| tatertots | you need to reseat and try other usb ports | 03:56 |
| uberdub | what does that even mean? | 03:56 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: it means the usb stick and/or that port is having hardware issues | 03:57 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: try a different port. this was mentioned about 10 mins ago | 03:57 |
| tatertots | this will determine is the 'point of failure' is the usb device or all your usb ports | 03:57 |
| tatertots | if the device won't 'enumerate' in any of your usb ports the next step is trying a 'known good' device | 03:57 |
| tatertots | you should be plugging in to other usb ports now | 03:58 |
| uberdub | yeah | 03:58 |
| uberdub | it mounted | 03:59 |
| tatertots | thata boy | 03:59 |
| tatertots | you say it mounted...which suggests it finally enumerated successfully..now it should appear at the 'software' level | 03:59 |
| uberdub | its saying wipe with wipefs | 04:00 |
| tatertots | "it's"? | 04:01 |
| uberdub | the output | 04:01 |
| tatertots | are you using fdisk? | 04:01 |
| tatertots | yes/no? | 04:02 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19589239/ | 04:02 |
| uberdub | yes | 04:02 |
| tatertots | the next step is 'Type d to proceed to delete a partition' | 04:03 |
| tatertots | I'm following this with you http://www.pendrivelinux.com/restoring-your-usb-key-partition/ | 04:03 |
| tatertots | next step 'Type 1 to select the 1st partition and press enter' | 04:04 |
| fpqc | tgm4883, I just did a bunch of crap and somehow got it to install lol | 04:05 |
| uberdub | "no partition is defined yet" | 04:05 |
| uberdub | ugh | 04:06 |
| fpqc | instead of building the unpatched one, I built the patched one and used like autoreconfigure and a whole bunch of build tools that like fixed some weird compile error and now it built | 04:06 |
| fpqc | and ps seems to be working so that's good | 04:06 |
| uberdub | tatrtots d doesnt work | 04:09 |
| uberdub | tatertots | 04:09 |
| tatertots | you could just wipefs as fdisk suggests to rid all signatures then return to fdisk to complete the rest of the steps | 04:10 |
| uberdub | wipefs just gives me an output | 04:10 |
| uberdub | does nothing | 04:10 |
| tatertots | show your wipefs command | 04:11 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19590098/ | 04:11 |
| tatertots | you didn't give wipefs any options/arguments | 04:12 |
| uberdub | i never used wipefs before | 04:13 |
| tatertots | i'd think you'd want to put the '-a' option/argument with it | 04:13 |
| tatertots | i've never used it before either uberdub..that's why i read the man page | 04:13 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19590098/qqq | 04:13 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: 'man [command]' tends to help a -lot- to figure out what something does or how to use it. | 04:13 |
| fpqc | anybody know why fonts-droid is not in the xenial repo? | 04:14 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: or even '[command] -h' | 04:14 |
| uberdub | again..ubuntu is not for endusers | 04:14 |
| _AxS_ | uberdub: dude, this is really basic stuff and applies for windows, osx, pretty well anything. | 04:14 |
| tatertots | sure it is...i'm an end user and i use ubuntu all the time | 04:14 |
| uberdub | If I wanted to read a man page, or memorize commands just to do basic things id be running slack | 04:14 |
| uberdub | this is basic | 04:15 |
| uberdub | which is why it id utterly frightening im still trying to do this. | 04:15 |
| fpqc | uberdub dawg | 04:15 |
| fpqc | the best thing to do is to spend all weekend tinkering on a harddrive where you have nothing important | 04:15 |
| uberdub | and enduser is someone that right clicks, and goes...reformat...done | 04:15 |
| tatertots | don't be afraid/frightened | 04:15 |
| fpqc | so you don't have to be afraid | 04:16 |
| uberdub | im over it dude | 04:16 |
| fpqc | of wiping out some stuff you wanted | 04:16 |
| uberdub | I dont have time for this stuff any more | 04:16 |
| uberdub | I love linux | 04:16 |
| uberdub | but man | 04:16 |
| uberdub | all cause this stupid steam amchine | 04:16 |
| fpqc | who games on linux lol | 04:17 |
| tatertots | you bought a actual steam machine?...i built my steam machine | 04:17 |
| uberdub | I own a small business I dont have this kind of time any more | 04:17 |
| tatertots | it runs like a champ | 04:17 |
| uberdub | I like the case | 04:17 |
| fpqc | I mostly mess around with linux so Ican have the coolest irc client on the block | 04:17 |
| uberdub | it fits well in my entertainment center | 04:17 |
| uberdub | dude | 04:17 |
| fpqc | you know what else fits well in your entertainment system | 04:18 |
| uberdub | its is just down right horrible for gaming still | 04:18 |
| fpqc | uberdub not really that bad | 04:18 |
| fpqc | except for you know, unstable drivers, random updates breaking audio (arch I'm looking at you) | 04:18 |
| uberdub | dude I will pay for linux that just works | 04:18 |
| uberdub | I hate windows | 04:18 |
| fpqc | uberdub idk ubuntu is pretty close | 04:18 |
| uberdub | its still not there | 04:19 |
| fpqc | it just works, except for the graphical installer, laptop drivers | 04:19 |
| uberdub | i wish it was | 04:19 |
| fpqc | stupid default bloat etc | 04:19 |
| uberdub | like an n64 emulator | 04:19 |
| uberdub | in win everything just works | 04:19 |
| tatertots | an OS is just a tool...kinda like when you need a flathead screw driver and when you need a phillips screw driver | 04:19 |
| uberdub | in linux, oh god | 04:19 |
| fpqc | idk why don't you just install ubuntu-minimal and build your system from scratch? | 04:19 |
| fpqc | that way you can troubleshoot | 04:20 |
| uberdub | I dont agree with closed surce os | 04:20 |
| uberdub | philosophically | 04:20 |
| fpqc | uberdub idk there are enough religious fundamentalists | 04:20 |
| uberdub | I should be able to know and verify my os does what it says it does | 04:20 |
| uberdub | im not religious at all | 04:20 |
| uberdub | im a atheist | 04:21 |
| fpqc | you're an opensourciest | 04:21 |
| uberdub | yeah, because I want to know what my os is doing with my hardware | 04:21 |
| fpqc | yeah, like you know that | 04:21 |
| tatertots | you could build your own steam machine and put a GTX 980TI in it...better yet two of them in SLI configuration | 04:21 |
| fpqc | you can't even install steam | 04:21 |
| uberdub | stfu | 04:21 |
| uberdub | dude | 04:21 |
| fpqc | you think you can read the kernel code lol | 04:21 |
| fpqc | what | 04:21 |
| uberdub | steam is installed | 04:21 |
| fpqc | I'm being serious | 04:21 |

| uberdub | im a chemist | 04:22 |
| fpqc | then how do you know what the OS is doing to your system? | 04:22 |
| uberdub | because its open | 04:22 |

| funkadactyl | I have a friend who wants to start using linux, I am trying to convince him that the best way for him to learn to use linux is to ditch windows all together and not dual boot or have separate machines. This is mainly because, if he has windows dual booting on his PC he is never going to touch ubuntu because people tend to stick with what they are familiar with. He will be joining us shortly with the handle RemorseCode. I kn | 04:29 |
| funkadactyl | ow that this is a support channel, but I was hoping we could bend the rules and some of you guys could answer some of the questions about switching over. | 04:29 |
| uberdub | smh | 04:30 |
| uberdub | it doesnt work | 04:30 |
| RemorseCode | Hey guys | 04:30 |
| tgm4883 | funkadactyl: that sounds like support to me, not sure what others think | 04:31 |
| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19591624/ | 04:31 |
| uberdub | d gives me that | 04:31 |
| uberdub | ugh | 04:31 |
| RemorseCode | I'm a linux noob but not ne wto programming | 04:31 |
| funkadactyl | Lol, wanna support me in explaining a few things to him so he has a good idea about what he will be getting into? | 04:32 |
| RemorseCode | Is there anyone here that knows a thing or two about music recording software and if linux supports it | 04:32 |
| uberdub | winusb doesnt work | 04:33 |
| tatertots | nothing wrong with dual booting if it fit's the end users 'workflow' | 04:33 |
| uberdub | "installation failed! exitcode: 256 log: " | 04:33 |
| funkadactyl | The point I'm making, is that he really has no workflow, he is just interested in learning how to use ubuntu | 04:33 |
| uberdub | thats what winusb gives me | 04:34 |
| tatertots | uberdub i'd hate to assume you completed wipefs then went back to fdisk to complete the tasks there and then went on to try winusb? | 04:34 |
| uberdub | yes | 04:34 |
| tatertots | i'm going to go out on a limb and say you took some shortcuts | 04:34 |
| uberdub | ? | 04:35 |
| uberdub | where? | 04:35 |
| theyesman | RemorseCode: there's plenty. in the repos. just search music and read the descriptions | 04:35 |
| uberdub | I ran wipefs | 04:35 |
| uberdub | then fdisk | 04:35 |
| uberdub | fdisk gave me the error | 04:35 |
| * ptl compiled opentoonz on ubuntu \o/ | 04:36 | |
| uberdub | winusb sees the drive now, but says installation failed when I click install | 04:36 |
| funkadactyl | I told him that he is more concerned about media formats, I told him that question is probably better suited for ardrour support to see if they can take file formats form other programs | 04:37 |
| uberdub | "d" command gives no partition errpr | 04:37 |
| tgm4883 | RemorseCode: funkadactyl probably worth checking this out | 04:37 |
| tgm4883 | !studio | 04:37 |
| ubottu | UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories. For more info and install instructions, join #ubuntustudio or see http://ubuntustudio.org | 04:37 |
| tatertots | are the signatures gone? | 04:37 |
| Bashing-om | RemorseCode: ubuntu studio : http://paste.ubuntu.com/19583938/ <-which is explicitly geared to general multimedia production. | 04:37 |
| uberdub | signatures? | 04:38 |
| tatertots | yes signatures | 04:38 |
| uberdub | uh | 04:38 |
| uberdub | i think | 04:38 |
| tatertots | i'll remind you when you first ran fdisk and saw '/dev/sdb: device contains a valid 'iso9660' signature; it is strongly recommended to wipe the device with wipefs(8) if this is unexpected, in order to avoid possible collisions' | 04:38 |
| RemorseCode | I have alot of important information in onenote on my pc. If I switch to lenix will it be able to read the file? | 04:38 |
| uberdub | it doesnt say kubuntu in the filename now | 04:39 |
| Bashing-om | RemorseCode: Ooppss : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Studio . | 04:39 |
| uberdub | err dir | 04:39 |
| uberdub | that error is gone now | 04:39 |
| funkadactyl | It's Linux RemorseCode :P | 04:39 |
| uberdub | i ran fdisk /dev/sdb | 04:39 |
| RemorseCode | ya I know Funk or should I say grammar police | 04:40 |
| uberdub | entered "d" | 04:40 |
| uberdub | and got the error | 04:40 |
| tatertots | Remorsecode what verson of MS Office/one note do you use? | 04:40 |
| funkadactyl | It's cool, He's sitting right next to me, I'm just busting his balls | 04:40 |
| fpqc | meh,I settled for "monospace" | 04:40 |
| tatertots | i ask because Office is now cloud/web based with Office 365 and all you need is firefox/chrome ect | 04:40 |
| fpqc | an old one and a good one | 04:41 |
| tatertots | and you'd have your actual same MS office stuff available in your web browser. | 04:41 |
| RemorseCode | onenote in office 2007 | 04:41 |
| uberdub | ? | 04:41 |
| tatertots | I use MS office 2016 via Office 365 on linux all the time | 04:42 |
| tatertots | since it's cloud/web based i keep all my onenote stuff with me no matter the device or platform i happen to be using | 04:42 |
| tatertots | isn't technology grand :) | 04:42 |
| uberdub | im screwed, huh? | 04:42 |
| tatertots | uberdub were the signatures gone? | 04:43 |
| tatertots | yes/no | 04:43 |
| uberdub | i assume so | 04:43 |
| tatertots | assume.....stop with the profanity | 04:43 |
| tatertots | assume is a dirty word | 04:44 |
| tatertots | show your fdisk | 04:44 |
| funkadactyl | I recommended office 2016 home and small business if he has to 'Own' his license | 04:44 |
| uberdub | omg | 04:44 |
| uberdub | which fdisk output? | 04:45 |
| tatertots | the same fdisk you pastbin before wifefs | 04:45 |
| tatertots | i want to see it 'post' or after wipefs | 04:45 |
| uberdub | dobronsted lowry acids receive, or donate protons? | 04:46 |
| uberdub | wipefs isnt a problem | 04:46 |
| uberdub | that went fine | 04:47 |
| tatertots | stop thinking uberdub and follow instructions verbatim | 04:47 |
| uberdub | I did | 04:47 |
| tatertots | lets see it | 04:47 |
| uberdub | cp ic g;ci bdcm | 04:47 |
| uberdub | I:Uxfhcvkja | 04:47 |

| uberdub | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19593120/ | 04:49 |
| tatertots | thanks uberdub | 04:49 |
| uberdub | hours and hours to reformat a thumb drive | 04:50 |
| tatertots | it says 'No partition is defined yet!'.....you might want to do something about that.....like define one, write the changes. | 04:50 |
| uberdub | ??????????????????????????/ | 04:50 |
| uberdub | I dont speak computer scientist | 04:50 |
| uberdub | im sorry | 04:50 |
| uberdub | i am a enduser | 04:51 |
| uberdub | truly sorry | 04:51 |
| uberdub | write the changes??? | 04:51 |
| uberdub | how do I do that? | 04:51 |
| uberdub | its like each step requires 10 other steps | 04:52 |
| uberdub | round and round in circles | 04:52 |
| uberdub | all for something I should be able to right click select and be done | 04:52 |
| tatertots | press 'm' to see the list of commands...you'll the the letter to press to (C)reate a partition | 04:52 |
| tatertots | you'll see the letter to press | 04:53 |
| tatertots | my typing today is horrible | 04:53 |
| tatertots | i should probably eat something | 04:53 |

| tatertots | uberdub this one looks good 'o create a new empty DOS partition table' | 04:54 |
| uberdub | says created, but d still gives the same error | 04:55 |
| tatertots | w write table to disk and exit | 04:56 |
| uberdub | ok | 04:56 |
| uberdub | processed clean | 04:56 |
| tatertots | thata boy | 04:56 |
| uberdub | see this used to be fun. | 04:57 |
| tatertots | you're not having fun? | 04:57 |
| uberdub | I just dont have the time any more | 04:57 |
| uberdub | im not | 04:57 |
| uberdub | it sucks | 04:57 |
| uberdub | Is it really too much to ask for an os that doesnt spy on you, and is truly for endusers? | 04:58 |
| uberdub | I would pay for a properly polished unix or linux os | 04:58 |
| uberdub | freedom not free beer!! | 04:59 |
| tatertots | if you run fdisk again does "d' still give you the same error as before? | 04:59 |
| uberdub | yes | 04:59 |
| tatertots | add a new partition | 05:00 |
| tatertots | make it fat32 partition | 05:00 |
| tatertots | (n)ew partition | 05:01 |
| tatertots | uberdub did you create your new fat32 partition? | 05:03 |
| tatertots | w write table to disk and exit | 05:03 |

| wdna | Hey I have Dell Latitude e7470 laptop. It has built in G3 modem device. I installed modem-manager (GUI) however it was not able to find any device. It seems to me the device driver is not loaded as I couldn't find it on system. Anyone have suggestion how can I activate it? | 06:48 |
| wdna | I guess I need the correct driver, but I'm not sure what driver or what is the exact device name / id ... | 06:49 |
| Tin_man | should be able to get the drivers from the Dell web site. wdna. | 06:49 |
| Tin_man | http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Products/?app=drivers | 06:50 |
| wdna | Tin_man: I ofcourse checked, and it does not have Linux drivers .. | 06:52 |
| aoeyaoeu | MPU, google ruby | 06:53 |

| Tin_man | yes i am | 06:58 |
| Tin_man | i'm just going by my dell laptop that I had, but you can look and google for your self | 06:58 |

| Nishikino-Maki | where's the "linux-headers-3.4.39"?! | 08:52 |
| Xin | hai all | 08:53 |
| Xin | I am looking for a way to send/receive time sensitive audio and video across multiple systems | 08:53 |
| Xin | eg, use a buffer, sync clocks between all hosts, stream the buffer to all hosts and have them play it correctly in sync | 08:54 |
| Xin | anyone know how I can do such a thing? | 08:54 |
| cfhowlett | Xin, sounds like stream casting ... | 08:54 |
| Xin | yeah but all the players have to be in sync | 08:55 |
| Xin | like, exactly | 08:55 |
| Xin | which should be as simple as using the same sample rate, and saying 'all of you start playing at this microsecond' | 08:55 |
| Xin | once their clocks are sync'd that is | 08:55 |
| cfhowlett | Xin, quite a bit over my head, but I cant point you in some possible directions. see "internet dj console" app | 08:55 |
| cfhowlett | Xin, also see "plex media server" in the software center | 08:57 |
| Xin | Ive used plex before but not sure how to make it time sensitive or whatever | 08:58 |
| ducasse | Nishikino-Maki: which ubuntu version are you running? | 08:58 |
| Xin | ill take a look at those though | 08:58 |

| habits | It seems that the latest one is not compatiable with kernel 4.4.0. Should I use an older driver version? | 09:00 |
| habits | FYI, I am running Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 | 09:00 |
| Nishikino-Maki | ubuntu wily(15.10) armhf | 09:01 |

| systemx_ | Hello.. I recently installed Xubuntu 16.04. During the installation process, I manually setup the partition scheme, and selected the root partition to be "Physical Encrypted Device".. Everything is working perfectly, however, I have noticed in File Manager an entry under the "Devices" category labelled "Disk", however, it is "dimmed", or unhighlighted (not as dark as the other devices).. Is this normal? Here is a copy of my fstab configuration: | 09:13 |
| systemx_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/19607598/ | 09:13 |
| systemx_ | This 'df -ha | grep sdb2' might provide extra useful information: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19608151/ | 09:14 |
| systemx_ | Due to the same exact size.. this leads me to believe you are correct.. I'm just worried and wanted to verify | 09:14 |
| systemx_ | Thanks for all the help in advance.. I really do appreciate it | 09:15 |
| abhvl | !public_html | 09:17 |

| systemx_ | ducasse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19608808/ | 09:21 |
| systemx_ | It looks like that answers my question.. if I'm interpreting it correctly.. | 09:22 |
| systemx_ | verification from someone far smarter than I would be very nice though | 09:22 |
| PrincessBob | you are smart... give yourself credit :) | 09:23 |
| ducasse | systemx_: from that it looks like sdb2_crypt is mounted twice... | 09:24 |
| systemx_ | Thank you very much PrincessBob :) | 09:26 |
| systemx_ | ducasse: Hmm.. | 09:27 |
| ducasse | systemx_: why do you have two entries for it in fstab? | 09:28 |
| cfhowlett | ducasse, 2 separate parts. the encrypted is the "ghost" of the non-encrypted | 09:29 |
| systemx_ | honestly, I am not sure.. I did not either manually. I was considering commenting one out, but thought I would ask someone with more experience than myself | 09:32 |
| systemx_ | did not add* | 09:32 |
| ducasse | cfhowlett: wouldn't lsblk show that? | 09:33 |
| cfhowlett | ducasse, it did in one of his pastes. | 09:34 |
| cfhowlett | systemx_, what program did you encrypt with?? | 09:34 |
| systemx_ | This looks to support your conclusion: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19609595/ | 09:35 |
| cfhowlett | systemx_, if I recall, ecrypt creates an encrypted "ghost" partition that is not accessible without the assigned password | 09:36 |
| systemx_ | I used the Xubuntu installer. (As per the topic, as for asking for help in distro specific channel, I just want to say I asked for assistance in the xubuntu channel before joining here, and was referred here) | 09:36 |
| cfhowlett | systemx_, sounds like ecryptfs then | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ecryptfs.html | 09:37 |
| ducasse | cfhowlett: lsblk shows the encrypted container as sdb2, and the encrypted fs as sdb2_crypt. | 09:37 |
| cfhowlett | ducasse, yep. normal behavior as I understand it. | 09:38 |
| ducasse | cfhowlett: yes, but the mapper device appears twice in fstab | 09:38 |
| ducasse | cfhowlett: that's not normal | 09:38 |
| ducasse | this doesn't look like ecryptfs as there is ext4 on top of it. you layer an fs on top of luks, ecryptfs transparently encrypts a directory through fuse. | 09:42 |
| systemx_ | ecryptfs-verify results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/19610500/ | 09:49 |
| alxpa | Hey. I'm having trouble installing a solarized theme to vim. | 09:49 |
| alxpa | I can't find my .vim folder | 09:49 |
| alxpa | On an Ubuntu server | 09:50 |
| ducasse | systemx_: yes, but that is for your home dir (and why layer ecryptfs on top of luks?) | 09:53 |
| systemx_ | ducasse: it was unintentional.. I'm just looking for a way to recover. | 09:54 |
| cfhowlett | systemx_, perhaps the sanest option: reinstall | 09:54 |
| ducasse | cfhowlett: +1 | 09:55 |
| alxpa | Can I run the command mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle && \ | 09:55 |
| alxpa | In root | 09:55 |
| alxpa | Or do I need to do it somewhere else | 09:55 |
| cfhowlett | !root | alxpa | 09:55 |
| ubottu | alxpa: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 09:55 |
| ducasse | systemx_: and don't check 'encrypt home' if you are installing to an encrypted disk. use one of them. | 09:55 |
| alxpa | cfhowlett: I am ssh'd as root | 09:56 |
| systemx_ | oh wow, THAT must of been what caused it.. | 09:56 |
| systemx_ | I did select both.. | 09:56 |
| cfhowlett | alxpa, ahhh. please ignore my earlier input | 09:56 |
| ducasse | systemx_: _something_ is very wrong there. | 09:56 |
| alxpa | cfhowlett: do u know whether it's okay to run that command there? | 09:56 |
| alxpa | I don't have a .vim directory as far as I can tell | 09:57 |
| alxpa | But surely I have one if I can run vim | 09:57 |
| cfhowlett | alxpa, if you have never used vim, you will not have a .vim folder. | 09:57 |
| alxpa | I've run it before cfhowlett | 09:57 |
| alxpa | But where should the folder be created? | 09:57 |
| ducasse | alxpa: in your home dir | 09:58 |
| alxpa | So that's the one when I type cd .. from root dir? ducasse | 09:58 |
| cfhowlett | alxpa, if not easily visible in your /home, it will be a couple of layers deep in perhaps .config. look around | 09:58 |
| systemx_ | If I choose "Physical Encrypted Device" for the / partition, that covers the entire system, but if in the future, I want to utilize ecryptfs to encrypt individual user directories, I just do so manually once installed, correct? Rather than letting the installer handle it | 09:59 |
| ducasse | alxpa: just type 'cd' and hit enter, and you will be in your homedir | 10:00 |
| ducasse | systemx_: you typically wouldn't need to encrypt directories on an already encrypted disk, but you can use ecryptfs to encrypt on other drives. | 10:01 |
| alxpa | ducasse: that's root | 10:01 |
| systemx_ | Should I avoid selecting using physical device encryption, and only select to encrypt home directory, or will that not cover the entire system | 10:01 |
| alxpa | Because I'm ssh'd | 10:01 |
| ducasse | alxpa: isn't it root you are creating .vim for? | 10:01 |
| systemx_ | say, I wanted to allow individual users to each have encrypted ~ with different passwords, would doing such be useful though? | 10:02 |
| ducasse | systemx_: yes, but in that case i wouldn't encrypt the physical disk /home is on. | 10:03 |
| ducasse | alxpa: ssh in as the user you want to create .vim for, 'mkdir ~/.vim', done. | 10:04 |
| alxpa | Ok, ducasse: I'm thinking of making a different user so it's safer | 10:05 |
| alxpa | Is that a good idea | 10:05 |
| alxpa | Instead of going in as root | 10:06 |
| alxpa | Or is that just unnecessary | 10:06 |
| ducasse | alxpa: if you want to configure root's vim you need to do it as root. if you want to configure vim for a normal user, do it as that user. | 10:07 |
| alxpa | Ducasse where is vimrc? | 10:08 |
| jeus | hi | 10:08 |
| alxpa | Or, where should it be? | 10:08 |
| ducasse | alxpa: in $HOME. | 10:09 |

| ducasse | ren0v0: write a systemd service unit | 10:26 |
| ren0v0 | for redis? | 10:27 |
| ducasse | ren0v0: no, for the task you need to run, and specify that it should run before redis is started. | 10:27 |
| ren0v0 | ducasse, i just want to echo 'never' > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled | 10:28 |
| ikonia | ren0v0: don't do that | 10:29 |
| ikonia | put it in the sysctl and set it properly | 10:29 |
| ren0v0 | ikonia, i added some things to sysctl.conf but for some reason redis says to apply this differently... | 10:30 |
| ren0v0 | So i would do mm.transparent_hugepage=0 ? | 10:30 |
| ikonia | ren0v0: you'd have to look up the settings, I don't have settings like that in my memory | 10:31 |
| ikonia | but there are settings to disable hugepages | 10:31 |
| ren0v0 | its weird if its that easy, redis/mongo all have some really fancy ways to do it https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/transparent-huge-pages/ | 10:31 |

| ikonia | pretty sure I've disabled hugepages as a kernel option many times | 10:37 |
| ikonia | ren0v0: for example http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man8/hugeadm.8.html | 10:38 |
| ren0v0 | if you read the answer there its that "transparent_hugepages" isn't an option, but there is nr_hugepage for example | 10:39 |
| ikonia | ren0v0: have a read of this, yes it's redhat, but it explains the setup https://access.redhat.com/solutions/422283 | 10:41 |
| ren0v0 | ikonia, erm write block ? | 10:43 |
| ikonia | looks like "vm.nr_hugepages =0" "vm.nr_hugepages_mempolicy=0" "vm.hugepages_treat_as_moveable=0" and "vm.nr_overcommit_hugepages=0" are what's needed | 10:43 |

| ikonia | just remove sendmail | 11:40 |
| ikonia | there should be no crontab in root | 11:41 |
| ikonia | root is disabled on ubuntu | 11:41 |
| ikonia | your machine is a mess - I'm not supporting it, | 11:41 |
| ikonia | remove sendmail if you want that error message to go away | 11:41 |
| buslique | i used sudo -s to see that cronjob | 11:41 |
| ikonia | that doesn't change what I said | 11:41 |
| ikonia | root is a disabled account | 11:42 |
| ikonia | there shouldbe no root cronjobs | 11:42 |
| buslique | ah, ok, got it | 11:42 |
| buslique | in user cronjobs i see nothing changed since freshinstall | 11:42 |
| buslique | so ill delete sendmail, thanks) | 11:42 |
| ikonia | please re-read what I'm saying | 11:42 |
| ikonia | it's not a cron | 11:42 |
| ikonia | it's the sendmail daemon | 11:42 |
| buslique | yea, yea, its just my carelessness | 11:43 |
| buslique | i understood you | 11:43 |
| buslique | another dumb question: why it's not good to install custom kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety/*? | 11:46 |
| buslique | its mainline, not testing or etc | 11:46 |
| ikonia | mainline is testing | 11:46 |
| ikonia | it's totally unpatched, vanilla | 11:46 |
| ikonia | there is no testing done against it, it's just totally standard, no promises it will work with your system at all | 11:47 |
| buslique | wow, will know that | 11:47 |
| buslique | but it works, and seems like everything is ok | 11:47 |
| ikonia | buslique: "seems" | 11:47 |
| ikonia | and "unsupported" are the key words there | 11:48 |
| ajnr | Hi Is there any tool to comare files and then extract a portion of the matching line of the other file. Say I am comparing http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/5FKlGoQv and http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/fO4KJJDn and after comaring I got the output file http://pastebin.tlhiv.org/maYMuX4e which is the id of the second file . Please let me know is there any possibilities. | 11:49 |
| ajnr | *compare | 11:49 |
| ikonia | I don't know what you mean | 11:50 |
| ikonia | just use "diff" | 11:50 |
| buslique | ikonia, ok, so can I face with some issues in future with this kernel? | 11:50 |
| ikonia | it shows you the differences in a file | 11:50 |
| ikonia | buslique: no idea, thats the point | 11:50 |
| ikonia | buslique: and no-one will support it | 11:50 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: is it only 1 line at a time you're looking for? | 11:51 |
| OerHeks | !info meld | 11:51 |
| ubottu | meld (source: meld): graphical tool to diff and merge files. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.14.2-1 (xenial), package size 445 kB, installed size 2895 kB | 11:51 |
| apaternoster_ | Hallo :) I've a problem with Ubuntu 16.04 installation. The problem is similar to this one https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByC9IA-s4KqwZ1RDYnlXQWtkYUU/view?pref=2&pli=1. There is a solution ? I can't click next and I can't exit from the installer... | 11:51 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, no there may be number of lines in both the files but after comparing I am taking the ids only . | 11:52 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: it is something to do with uefi | 11:52 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: try ctrl+alt+f1, and type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 and paste here | 11:53 |
| EriC^^ | also do ls /sys/firmware/efi | 11:53 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: the first file always doesn't have id's? just the line? | 11:54 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: ok. I've no other system... Here it is http://termbin.com/c1pi | 11:54 |
| ajnr | ikonia, diff is not working here | 11:54 |
| ikonia | define not working | 11:54 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: the last one sdc is the live usb | 11:54 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: and ls /sys/firmware/efi ? | 11:54 |
| ikonia | it's pretty hard for diff not to work | 11:54 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, yes just the lines and the second one has line plus id's , so i need to compare both the files and if matches then get the ids | 11:55 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: http://termbin.com/mztg | 11:55 |
| ajnr | ikonia, I mean to say that as per what I need , diff is not givingme the output | 11:55 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: ok, hold on | 11:55 |
| buslique | ikonia, if 4.6.0 will be released as official - am i need to upgrade or patch my 4.6.0-040600 to a fresh released? | 11:56 |
| buslique | ikonia, its will be a differ versions, right?\ | 11:57 |
| ikonia | buslique: 4.6.0 will not be released officially | 11:57 |
| lerner | I have 2 pdf DIN-A 4 pages I need to fit into one DIN-A4. TO do that I need a program to decrease the size of the 2 pictures (one per page) what app do I need? | 11:58 |
| ikonia | buslique: you've changed your dependency path now for the kernel and associated dependencies | 11:58 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: Have you see the last paste ? (ls /sys/firmware/efi) | 11:58 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: ok, it looks good | 11:59 |
| OerHeks | lerner, LibreOffice Writer should be able to | 11:59 |
| aruns | Hi. | 11:59 |
| EriC^^ | you're booted in uefi mode and you have a gpt partition table, what does the error message mean apaternoster_ ? | 11:59 |
| apaternoster_ | Yes, I'm in uefi (i selected uefi entry) and I-ve gpt table partition. | 12:00 |
| lerner | OerHeks, the picture includes code bars, I worry about its quality... | 12:00 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I don't know, I want to know what it is... | 12:00 |
| aruns | I just ran rm on a PolarisOffice installer on my Downloads folder. It was called PolarisOfficeInstaller (1).exe. When I ran the rm command, it used backward slashes to escape the empty spaces. But it appeared like this on the terminal: PolarisOfficeInstaller\ \(1\).exe | 12:00 |
| aruns | Why does it need to include a backwards slash inside the parenthetical brackets? | 12:01 |
| ikonia | aruns: to escape the ) | 12:01 |
| aruns | There isn't a space within the parenthetical brackets AFAIK? | 12:01 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: It shows up after I press install button on installer | 12:01 |
| aruns | ikonia: Ah OK, thanks. | 12:01 |
| aruns | ikonia: Is the ) considered a special character? | 12:01 |
| ikonia | aruns: yes | 12:01 |
| aruns | OK. | 12:02 |
| ikonia | as is ( | 12:02 |
| ikonia | and you can see there is an escape before that | 12:02 |
| aruns | Oh yeah. | 12:02 |
| OerHeks | lerner, if you do, one way to find out | 12:02 |
| jatt | use double quotes to don't escape | 12:02 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: but I've all the partition /boot/efi, /, swap | 12:02 |
| aruns | Or single quotes. | 12:02 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: and other partition like /home, /tmp... | 12:03 |
| aruns | Oh, now I see, pretty tired today haha. | 12:03 |
| aruns | Should have looked at it more closely :p | 12:03 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: almost done.. | 12:04 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok | 12:04 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I also tried to re-create the live usb and tried to boot more times the live but always same problem... | 12:04 |
| buslique | ikonia, ok, but i havent add custom kernel ppa's on my ppa list. any advices to do it right? downgrade current kernel or use another but official? | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: how do you want the output? | 12:05 |
| lerner | OerHeks, good tip, thx | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | just the matching id's? | 12:05 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, means , in separate file | 12:05 |
| ikonia | buslique: how did you get the kernel if you didn't add a repo | 12:05 |
| ajnr | id's and/or the text EriC^^ | 12:06 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: try this length=$(wc -l < /path/to/linesfile); for i in $(seq 1 $length); do grep "$(head -"$i" /path/to/linesfile | tail -1)" /path/to/idandlines | cut -d" " -f1; done | 12:06 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok trying | 12:07 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, how to run | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: you don't know the language of the error message? | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: replace /path/to/linesfile with the file with just the lines, and /path/to/idandlines with the other one | 12:08 |
| EriC^^ | and just run the whole thing from length=$(..... | 12:08 |
| buslique | ikonia, wget kernel deb's and dpkg -i. | 12:09 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I'm italian but I know some English. But I can't click next and I can't exit from installer when this pop up shows up | 12:09 |
| ikonia | buslique: just remove it then | 12:09 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I know what the message says... | 12:09 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: what does the error message mean in english? | 12:09 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: it is in english | 12:09 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: nope it was italian | 12:10 |
| ajnr | no nothing came EriC^^ | 12:11 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: what exactly did you run? | 12:11 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, i run in the terminal , length=$(wc -l < /home/anupamj/Desktop/AJ/netaji/netaji_files_Code_mixed_only.txt); for i in $(seq 1 $length); do grep "$(head -"$i" /home/anupamj/Desktop/AJ/netaji/netaji_files_Code_mixed_only.txt | tail -1)" /home/anupamj/Desktop/AJ/netaji/netaji_ke_files_with_ID.tsv | cut -d" " -f1; done | 12:12 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, here you are giving two input file | 12:13 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, output file i have redirected using > | 12:13 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, but it came blank | 12:13 |
| buslique | ikonia, http://paste.ubuntu.com/19620222/ i need to delete 4.5 and 4.6 and back tlinux-image-generic 4.4.0.31.33 , right? | 12:14 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: Sorry XD Yes, I traslate the message... "The firmware of this PC has started the installer in UEFI mode, but seems that there are other operating systems that uses BIOS compatibility mode. If you click next it is possible that you can't restart other systems that uses compatiblity mode. If you want to continue click next, overwise click back and exit from the installer" | 12:14 |
| EriC^^ | that's odd, it works here, try without redirecting for a bit | 12:14 |
| buslique | ikonia, back to * | 12:14 |
| ikonia | buslique: remove anything you've installed not from the ubuntu repos | 12:14 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, where the output will be displayed ? | 12:14 |
| ikonia | buslique: it's up to you what you do really | 12:14 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: i tested it by creating 2 files, one with 1234 bla bla , and 1234 ee and the other with random lines and bla bla and ee | 12:14 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: on the terminal | 12:14 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, blank | 12:15 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: Sorry but I though I publish the english version.. | 12:15 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, nothing came | 12:15 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: are you able to grep that .tsv file usually? | 12:15 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I think you can now understand the message.. | 12:15 |
| buslique | ikonia, ok, thanks for advices, but it's a not wrong idea to keep current 4.6 kernel, if I dont see some errors or smth like this? | 12:16 |
| ikonia | buslique: it's up to you | 12:16 |

| Lokie | hi, I am trying to use a live usb with 14.04 to do something and I am running out of space. IS there a way to increase it's size from 1GB to 2+ ? (the usb is 8GB) | 12:17 |
| jatt | 4.6 kernels from the ppa are ok as long you don't use them for production | 12:17 |
| ikonia | no they are not "ok" | 12:17 |
| Lokie | the guides I see so far say to create a new casper-rw but the live usb only has a dir named that way | 12:18 |
| ikonia | how can you say they are 'ok' when you dno't know what they will do and how they will behave with the setup | 12:18 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: yes click continue if you don't have other os installed | 12:19 |
| buslique | ikonia, ok, big thanks for your advices. and the last question: if i do apt-get upgrade > sometimes it cause to upgrade official 4.4.x kernels to new, when ill delete 4.6.x am i be good with upgrades 4.4.x kernels, and is it safe to delete current 4.6?? | 12:19 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I can't all is blocked always | 12:19 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: I can't click anything, I can't click next, I can't go back :( | 12:20 |
| ikonia | buslique: again, it's up to you, you put 4.6 on your machine, you know your machine, so you know if it's safe | 12:20 |
| crafty1 | Lokie: can you use either gparted or KDE partition manager | 12:20 |
| crafty1 | or does this return an error | 12:20 |
| buslique | ikonia, ok, that's all, thanks a lot | 12:21 |
| crafty1 | Lokie: but i will wager a guess you cannot expand a filesystem that is currently in use | 12:21 |
| Rockman | http://pazhanji.org | 12:21 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok , if i remove the dates in between id and text then it works | 12:21 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, but its repeating the output | 12:22 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: it's because they aren't word for word match | 12:23 |
| EriC^^ | in the line file aishkapoor sir kya 23 ko govt . netaji ki files diclassify karegi ? | 12:23 |
| EriC^^ | in the id file 690125357370994690 Thu Jan 21 16:24:41 IST 2016 @aishkapoor sir kya 23 ko govt. netaji ki files diclassify karegi? | 12:24 |
| EriC^^ | see the "." next to govt ? | 12:24 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok | 12:24 |
| EriC^^ | maybe match if the first word is the same? | 12:25 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: hmm | 12:25 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, why repeat the numbers ? | 12:25 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, so is there any solution ? | 12:26 |
| Lokie | crafty1 if I booted to another ubuntu installation and used gparted on the live usb? | 12:26 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: i wonder why it thinks you have an os in bios mode, maybe it thinks the live usb is? | 12:26 |
| EriC^^ | cause the partition table is msdos? | 12:26 |
| Kirito | With the seeming increase in Linux support from Nvidia, I wonder if I can hope for mobile SLI support any time in the near or distant future. Probably not | 12:27 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: do you want to match them based on first word? | 12:27 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok | 12:27 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, isit not possible to match the whole line ? | 12:28 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: Yes usb live is msdos... Fat32 | 12:28 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: but how I create a normal Ubuntu bootable usb... | 12:29 |
| apaternoster_ | But I} | 12:29 |
| khalifa | canal fr please | 12:29 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: but I* | 12:29 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: because the lines dont match, they have differences | 12:30 |
| EriC^^ | bla . bla | 12:31 |
| EriC^^ | bla. bla | 12:31 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok | 12:31 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, first word can be taken then | 12:31 |
| ajnr | EriC^^, any reason for repeat output ? | 12:32 |
| EriC^^ | ajnr: one sec | 12:33 |
| EriC^^ | i'll make it to match if starting word and last word match, hold on | 12:33 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: try to make the live usb have a gpt partition table maybe it won't make the error anymore | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | apaternoster_: first you can try the easy way of converting msdos to gpt with gdisk | 12:34 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: How ? | 12:34 |
| EriC^^ | try sudo gdisk /dev/sdX (replace X with the usb) | 12:35 |
| apaternoster_ | EriC^^: ok I try, bye we see later If I have other problems... | 12:36 |

| Industrial | I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop which has a NVIDIA 980M video card | 13:06 |
| Industrial | if I try to do the "try ubuntu" then it fails with compiz errors | 13:06 |
| === pauljw_ is now known as pauljw | ||
| ajnr | EriC^^, ok | 13:06 |
| Industrial | if I do in install option from the ISO then it will install ubuntu | 13:07 |
| Industrial | when I boot into ubuntu then it will also give me the compiz errors | 13:07 |
| Industrial | So I see no option\ | 13:07 |
| Industrial | If I press CTRL + F1 to get a terminal then I get a black screen | 13:07 |
| ajnr | madhu__, no idea actually | 13:07 |
| Industrial | What do I do? | 13:07 |
| madhu__ | Ajnr: How to find the kernel will support processor | 13:08 |
| ducasse | !nomodeset | Industrial | 13:09 |
| ubottu | Industrial: 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 | 13:09 |
| Industrial | ducasse: thanks | 13:11 |
| urcked | Been trying to setup a VPN for hours now. Installed network-manager-openvpn. However, no option in network manager either to setup or import VPN | 13:12 |
| ducasse | madhu__: that cpu should be supported, what problems are you having? | 13:12 |
| madhu__ | Ducasse: Welcome. It is installing. but not creating RAID 1 in sw | 13:14 |
| madhu__ | Ducasse : How to know which kernel will support the processor | 13:14 |
| ducasse | madhu__: i doubt that is a kernel problem. | 13:15 |
| ducasse | urcked: right-click the nm applet, choose edit connections, click add and you should be able to select openvpn from the list. | 13:16 |
| tatertots | madhu do you know what storage controller you are using? sata/sas controller? | 13:16 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : C100 controller | 13:17 |
| tatertots | madhu do you know the key sequence to enter the C100 during boot? | 13:17 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : I did in Legacy Mode | 13:18 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : Please let me know if did any mistake | 13:20 |
| tatertots | madhu did you look for button to press to manage C100 | 13:20 |
| tatertots | usually CTRL+(some key) | 13:21 |
| codepython7771 | is there a system utility that can do this: read stdout from multiple processes and write to stdout? | 13:21 |
| tatertots | give me the model of your sever, that will make this easier | 13:21 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : ok Thanks. I not yet tried. I will try | 13:21 |
| rsevero | Hi. I recently upgraded my home network t0 16.04. I use nfs mounts and one of the mounts uses cross mounting, i.e., I have one share on my nfs server but on the server, under this share, on several subdirectories, I have several other filesystems mounted. I want all these filesystems accessible on my nfs clients. This worked just fine up to version 15.10. Now my 16.04 clients return a | 13:22 |
| rsevero | Impossible to access /multimidia/musicas: Operation not permited | 13:22 |
| rsevero | error when I try to acess one of these extra filesystems through the nfs share. | 13:22 |
| rsevero | I've tested on last client that is still running version 15.10 and the mount is working as expected on it so I believe the problem isn't on the server which has already been upgraded do 16.04. | 13:22 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : x3100 M5 Xeon E3-1200 v3 series | 13:22 |

| Industrial | ducasse: I can not get into a terminal with ctrl + alt + F1 | 13:24 |
| tatertots | madhu looks like LSI based software raid managed through bios | 13:24 |
| Industrial | I get a black screen | 13:24 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : Ok. Let me check | 13:24 |
| Industrial | So I can not run the `apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade` listed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-3.8/+bug/1564156 | 13:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1564156 in mesa (Ubuntu Xenial) "xenial: invalid opcode when using llvmpipe" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 13:24 |
| Industrial | Feels like I'm so close :( | 13:25 |
| tatertots | madhu create/manage your raid 1 there in bios, then install your OS in the standard/nothing special as any other desktop user would fashion | 13:25 |
| Industrial | When will 16.04.1 be ready? | 13:25 |
| ducasse | Industrial: read the link ubottu gave you, under the heading 'How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS' | 13:26 |
| Industrial | can I download the ISO now? | 13:26 |
| cecja | next week | 13:26 |
| Industrial | ah! press shift to get to get into grub! | 13:27 |
| Industrial | nice | 13:27 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots : Saying my experince. I tried but getting /dev/md126_raid1 readonly. Operation not permitted to write on disk. | 13:27 |
| madhu__ | Totertots : partition table not writing on disk | 13:27 |
| madhu__ | Totertots : Ducasse has advised me to go sw raid. But I dont know the error | 13:27 |
| ducasse | madhu__: can't you set the controller to just work as a storage controller, turn off raid mode? | 13:28 |
| tatertots | you have no choice but to go sw raid with the LSI based software controller | 13:28 |
| tatertots | but that does NOT mean create the array in ubuntu | 13:29 |
| Industrial | ducasse: pressing shift after the boot logo (MSI) will not work. as soon as it starts with the purple screen i get my desktop like 2 secs later | 13:29 |
| tatertots | you're going to be using software raid no matter how to slice it | 13:29 |
| Industrial | and im pressing shift the whole time | 13:29 |
| tatertots | as you do not have a true hardware raid controller i.e PERC 6i | 13:29 |
| ducasse | Industrial: if you're holding it down, try spammin it. also try escape. | 13:29 |
| tatertots | software raid as in setup and controlled in BIOS | 13:30 |
| Kongstad1 | Hi, I need help to set up the resolution for my new monitor Asus VX24AH on Nvidia 210. I have been trying to follow the guidelines https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112186 to no avail. Running at the moment 1900x1200 and the montior is capable of 2560x1440. | 13:30 |
| tatertots | when you get to the ubuntu parts you will treat it as any ordinary disk | 13:30 |
| tatertots | madhu you will end up with /dev/sdX just like any other non raid install | 13:32 |
| tatertots | this is a good thing | 13:32 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots Thank you. I installed in single disk and trying to make RAID 1. now. | 13:33 |
| tatertots | madhu can you post screen shot of your BIOS raid configuration...might need to use your smartphone | 13:33 |
| madhu__ | Tatertots and Ducasses : thaks both for good guidence. | 13:34 |
| tatertots | your raid is managed OUTSIDE of the operating system....NOT with the operating system | 13:34 |
| madhu__ | Please explain | 13:34 |
| tatertots | the LSI software based C100 is managed in the BIOS | 13:34 |
| madhu__ | ok | 13:34 |
| tatertots | once you have booted ubuntu remove RAID from your brain/thinking | 13:35 |
| tatertots | madhu how many hard drives do you have inside your system? | 13:35 |
| madhu__ | 1 TB HDDs : 2 Nos. | 13:35 |
| sulle\a | When i try to play games they appear on my second screen. Not on my main screen. Why is that ? | 13:36 |
| tatertots | madhu is that 2x 1TB hdd's? | 13:36 |
| madhu__ | Once installation completed. Need to check both are working and sync | 13:36 |
| tatertots | no you will do none of this "checking" | 13:36 |
| tatertots | OUTSIDE of the OS/ubuntu | 13:36 |
| tatertots | it's in the BIOS | 13:37 |
| tatertots | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDiZURQfSio | 13:37 |
| tatertots | do your "checking' they are working and sync as you say in BIOS | 13:37 |
| madhu__ | Basically software raid. We need to manage if any disk fail | 13:37 |
| tatertots | your raid will be transparent | 13:37 |
| tatertots | you won't even know you're using raid at the OS/ubuntu level | 13:38 |
| sulle\a | I have a dualbooted laptop with win10 and ubuntu. but now i find out that my ubuntu storage is too low. How can i change this without reinstalling everything ?. | 13:39 |
| tatertots | don't let the term/phrase 'software' raid confuse you. | 13:39 |
| tatertots | you cannot hardware raid on your sever | 13:39 |
| madhu__ | Just confusing. May I remove and new disk if disk fail directly | 13:40 |
| madhu__ | yes. There is no hardware raid | 13:40 |
| tatertots | true hardware raid controllers add expense/$ to the cost of the server....low end / low cost servers/desktops will always use 'software' raid solutions | 13:40 |
| ducasse | sulle\a: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/ResizingPartition | 13:40 |
| madhu__ | Thats fine. | 13:41 |
| sulle\a | ducasse, but i can do this even if i dont want to reinstall ubuntu ? | 13:41 |
| tatertots | software based raid solutions on servers are always configured and managed in the sofware RAID BIOS | 13:41 |
| ducasse | sulle\a: read the link, it explains everything. back up first. | 13:42 |
| madhu__ | Please share the url to install the raid 1 | 13:42 |
| tatertots | you can for the most part treat them as you would a real raid in the event of a hdd failure | 13:42 |
| sulle\a | ducasse, thanks | 13:42 |
| MonkeyDust | sulle\a with gparted you *can* resize partitions without dataloss, but it takes a long time, like several hours | 13:42 |
| === Dorami-Doraemon is now known as Dorami_10 | ||
| tatertots | ubuntu should only see a single 1TB storage to work with if you have done things properly | 13:43 |
| tatertots | ubuntu will only see a single 1TB of space to install to as /dev/sda | 13:43 |
| tatertots | if you have configured your raid 1 that consists of 2x 1TB hdd's properly in BIOS | 13:44 |
| sulle\a | MonkeyDust, Ok :) | 13:44 |
| tatertots | if you can see both disk in ubuntu you are doing it wrong | 13:44 |
| === Dorami_10 is now known as Dorami-Doraemon | ||
| tatertots | either that or raid 1 isn't really what you want | 13:44 |
| tatertots | raid concepts/terminology can be confusing | 13:45 |
| madhu__ | I did without using BIOS RAID1 setting. it is showing 2 hdd. | 13:45 |
| tatertots | i know madhu | 13:45 |
| tatertots | this is not proper | 13:45 |
| tatertots | enter BIOS like shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDiZURQfSio | 13:45 |
| tatertots | and create the raid 1 array in BIOS as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDiZURQfSio | 13:45 |
| tatertots | only proceed with ubuntu once this has been completed | 13:46 |
| tatertots | do NOT skip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDiZURQfSio | 13:46 |
| tatertots | raid sounds fancy and i know you want something to gawk and look at in your operating system but it's really quite simple | 13:47 |
| tatertots | and it's managed OUTSIDE the os/ubuntu | 13:47 |
| madhu__ | I did the same but it is not installing. error array readonly | 13:48 |
| madhu__ | I can able to install wihout bios raid 1 | 13:48 |
| tatertots | sure if you want to install without raid just install to /dev/sda which is the first of your two 1TB hdd's | 13:50 |
| tatertots | you will need to purge/destroy any raid that you have done with ubuntu first | 13:50 |
| tatertots | no more /dev/md madness | 13:51 |
| madhu__ | I did the bios raid1 and start the installation. At the time of partition showing array RAIDraid1_readonly | 13:51 |
| madhu__ | operation is not permitted to write on disk | 13:51 |
| madhu__ | It is not taking bios raid. I need to install RAID 1 wihout using bios raid | 13:52 |
| ducasse | madhu__: doesn't the installer see /dev/sda? | 13:52 |
| xpheres | hello | 13:52 |
| xpheres | anyone could advise me which channel to ask about an issue with jack? | 13:53 |
| madhu__ | Ducases : I can able to install in single disk. but unable to create raid1 | 13:53 |
| tatertots | madhu...i know from experience that some fake raid controllers are not supported because the OS/ubuntu would need drivers | 13:53 |
| tatertots | https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-5089068 | 13:53 |
| MonkeyDust | xpheres try here, first | 13:53 |
| xpheres | Jack never starts, I check all kind of forums and solutions and it did not work | 13:53 |
| tatertots | they have linux drivers for the C100 fake raid controller | 13:53 |
| ducasse | madhu__: install on sda, don't think raid - that is managed by the bios. | 13:53 |
| xpheres | I added my user to the sound group | 13:53 |
| xpheres | I restarted jack | 13:53 |
| xpheres | no way to make it work | 13:53 |
| RNeville | Good morning, running Ubuntu 14.04 and want to ask a question (probably off topic , which I apologize in advance - if such a thing possible) | 13:54 |
| madhu__ | ok | 13:54 |
| tatertots | the OS would need to know how to work with the fake raid controller (through drivers) | 13:54 |
| xpheres | I'm trying to record while I'm playing a midi piano which works trough jack and fluidsynth as synthetizer | 13:54 |
| RNeville | I want to set at my computer and send SMS messages and get SMS replies- either to the computer or my smartphone | 13:54 |
| xpheres | I can not route the audio to audacity or any other software to record the sound | 13:54 |
| madhu__ | Drivers where to get it | 13:54 |
| xpheres | I would be grateful for any advice | 13:55 |
| tatertots | madhu fake raid drivers are here https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=migr-5089068 | 13:55 |
| tatertots | that's IBM's website | 13:55 |
| madhu__ | It is ok to install REDHAT. | 13:55 |
| tatertots | they have drivers for RedHat and Novell SLES | 13:55 |
| madhu__ | Very simple. All are included in the Image | 13:56 |
| ducasse | madhu__: wait. which disk devices can the installer see? | 13:56 |

| tatertots | These driver images can be used to create a USB key, CD, DVD, or floppy disk containing the driver formatted for use during the installation of the operating system. | 14:00 |
| ducasse | madhu__: ok. just install to sda, and that should work. | 14:00 |
| madhu__ | My instention to give support on x3100 M5 after inallation. | 14:02 |
| natmal | Nevermind; figured out mysql.conf.d is for mysqld. Who thought this confusing naming convention was a good idea? | 14:02 |
| tatertots | madhu i've taken many support calls on the C100 for non windows OS use, the general consensus is it's not worth the effort, | 14:04 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest95274 | ||
| tatertots | most enterprise IT people worth their weight in salt knows to avoid software/fake C100 controllers like the plague | 14:06 |
| tatertots | treat is as a normal run of the mill sata controller and you'll be fine | 14:07 |
| tatertots | if raid in critical in your server....spend the extra $ and get real hardware raid like PERC6/H700 | 14:08 |
| madhu__ | Thanks Tatertots. It is for my knowledge to avoid problems. Thank you very much for kind support | 14:08 |
| tatertots | those are found in dell's line of poweredge servers | 14:08 |
| SchrodingersScat | RealPanV: can add them to /etc/sudoers, can maybe add them to a group too | 14:08 |
| SchrodingersScat | RNeville: Sending texts is easy, don't see much about receiving | 14:09 |
| RealPanV | Ok thanks | 14:09 |
| RealPanV | So the command is gedit /etc/sudoers right? | 14:09 |
| tatertots | plus your CEO's and CTO's will be happy you didn't trust the company's data to some cheap C100 fake raid....they will thank you for it ...they might balk at the extra expense but you tell them it's worth it...end of story | 14:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | RealPanV: in /etc/sudoers you can even give them access to specific programs without needing sudo, etc. and maybe try 'gksudo gedit /etc/sudoers' without the 's | 14:10 |
| Rockman | www.pazhanji.org | 14:10 |
| RealPanV | So can I run that command from the target user or I need to go back to my account? | 14:10 |
| madhu__ | Great | 14:10 |
| SchrodingersScat | RealPanV: you'll need sudo privileges to edit that | 14:11 |
| RealPanV | sudo privileges to give sudo makes sense | 14:11 |
| RealPanV | ok thanks | 14:11 |
| tatertots | fake raid in the enterprise is a dirty four letter word | 14:11 |

| kvmmm | do you think it's a good idea to use the Ubuntu firewall? | 14:33 |
| tempspace | Question about systemd: I have an Ubuntu 16.04 machine that has a Solr SysV that I place in /etc/init.d..when I place the file in and do a systemctl status solr.service immediately, it says the service isn't found. If I run it later, the command works as expected. Is there a command to have systemd look for new SysV scripts or something? | 14:33 |
| kvmmm | I would never ever use Windows without a firewall. Not sure how Ubuntu compares in that regard | 14:33 |
| tempspace | I've been searching to try and figure out how it works in general, but I'm coming up short | 14:34 |
| SchrodingersScat | kvmmm: I think it would be recommended to use a firewall on ubuntu as well, it's your call though. you have ufw/iptables/etc | 14:35 |
| ducasse | tempspace: man systemd-sysv-generator | 14:35 |
| kvmmm | is there a simple gui to configure it? | 14:35 |
| Conder | hi guys, i have now dualboot windows 10 and ubuntu, if i split windows partition to two (ubuntu partition is after windows partition), will it be problem? | 14:35 |
| MonkeyDust | !firewall | kvmmm | 14:36 |
| ubottu | kvmmm: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 14:36 |
| realpanv | Worked thanks a lot | 14:36 |
| SchrodingersScat | realpanv: great | 14:36 |
| kvmmm | ok, I'll use GUFW | 14:36 |
| kvmmm | what about virus? | 14:36 |
| SchrodingersScat | !virus | kvmmm | 14:37 |
| ubottu | kvmmm: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 14:37 |
| kvmmm | thanks!! | 14:37 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info clamav | kvmmm clamav and some others run on ubuntu, but if you use trusted sources for your repos then generally you shouldn't be too concerned. | 14:38 |

| curlyears | heigh hough | 14:40 |
| curlyears | Eriic^??? Are you here this morning? | 14:41 |
| skinux | Is there any free software that allows password-protecting directories (hopefully using encryption)? | 14:41 |
| tempspace | ducasse: Thanks! When they say "when configuration of the system manager is reloaded" do they mean "systemctl daemon-reload"? | 14:41 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info ecryptfs | skinux there's also encfs | 14:44 |
| ubottu | skinux there's also encfs: Package ecryptfs does not exist in xenial | 14:44 |
| SchrodingersScat | oops | 14:44 |
| curlyears | OK, EriC^^ must be asleep, or at work, or living his own life for a change... | 14:45 |
| kvmmm | wait, so by default, is the firewall configured not to open ports? | 14:45 |

| kvmmm | like, if I just leave my Ubuntu 16 as is, will the firewall already be in place? | 14:45 |
| ducasse | tempspace: i would guess so, but i don't know. might mean a restart/reload of the generator only. | 14:45 |
| SchrodingersScat | kvmmm: what are you seeing? afaik by default there are no rules so everything would be open. | 14:46 |
| curlyears | so. Last night I installed and reinstalled, trying m,ultiple configurations of partition table options, and every one of them failed with a "Failed to form <blah blah disk segment" | 14:46 |
| curlyears | so I finlly took the extreme position that there was something wrong with that hard dsik drive, and replaced it witha slightly smalled SDD. I reinstaled, configure the parition table, and "successfully" xcompleted installation. | 14:47 |
| kvmmm | ok, no it was off by default. I'm just trying to figure it out now | 14:48 |
| curlyears | when I rebooted, I got the same failure I've been getting all along "Verifying DMI pools. . . . . . . . ..." <- 12 dots. Then it just hangs | 14:48 |
| kvmmm | so I'm going to "add a firewall rule" and there's no option for XChat, Firefox, Chromium | 14:49 |
| curlyears | s/SDD/SSD/ | 14:49 |
| kvmmm | I see lots of other programs, like skype / steam / vuze | 14:49 |
| kvmmm | this is for the "preconfigured" tab. For "simple" and "advanced" I see nothing | 14:51 |
| curlyears | so, anyone with any wisdom to impart on this strange and highly persistent problem? | 14:51 |
| curlyears | kmmm: that is because you are expected to write tyour own rule for anything not included in the "preconfigured" options | 14:52 |
| ducasse | curlyears: smells like a hardware issue... | 14:52 |
| kvmmm | I'm reading the Gufw documentation, but it doesn't say how to do that. | 14:53 |
| curlyears | ducasse: yet I can boot up off the DVD into Live DVD. As I am at this moment. Only way I could be here, I don't have another computer | 14:53 |
| kvmmm | "Again, we'll use the SSH example - let's just pretend for a moment that there isn't a preconfigured option for it. To enable it in the Simple tab, select "Allow", "TCP", "22" and click Add." but how do I make a rule for Firefox? | 14:53 |
| ducasse | curlyears: i really don't know, sorry. out of interest, have you tried any other distros to see if they behave normally? | 14:54 |
| curlyears | sorry about that, kvmmm | 14:55 |
| curlyears | anyway, as I was trying to say, Firefox, beiong a web browser, probably needs a rule for port 80 | 14:56 |
| curlyears | being | 14:56 |
| ducasse | kvmmm: firefox uses port 80 and 443 (http/https). you can't really edit firewall rules without understanding a bit about networking. | 14:56 |
| kvmmm | ah, so I open up port 80, and that will let firefox through? | 14:56 |
| kvmmm | or I have to open both 80 and 443? | 14:56 |
| tatertots | port 80 normally isn't blocked | 14:56 |
| kvmmm | but if I switch the firewall to "ON" Firefox doesn't connect | 14:57 |
| tatertots | blocking port 80 would result in not being able to browse the web in most circumstances | 14:57 |
| kvmmm | yes, when I turn the firewall on, nothing connects. | 14:57 |
| curlyears | kvmmm: I believe that is correct. Look on the web for the list of standard port numbers. I haven't messed with firewall stuff in several (about 7) years, so I am not up to date on my knowledge of such things | 14:57 |
| ducasse | many/most sites uses https also, so you would also need to allow 443. | 14:58 |
| tatertots | see if there is a firewall rule blocking port 80...this could very well be the case if your firewall defaults are to lock EVERYTHING down | 14:58 |
| === parnasas is now known as parnasus | ||
| ducasse | kvmmm: you will need to allow the outgoing traffic to connect, and the return traffic to actually get anything. | 14:59 |
| tatertots | when installing a firewall, it helps to be informed of it's default policies | 14:59 |
| kvmmm | I think mine blocked everything by default | 14:59 |
| tatertots | better to be informed of the default firewall rules than to be caught by suprise | 14:59 |
| kvmmm | anyone know which port Xchat uses? | 14:59 |
| tatertots | surprise | 14:59 |
| tatertots | i hate being blind sided | 15:00 |
| ducasse | kvmmm: read /etc/services | 15:00 |
| paranoidabhi | hi | 15:00 |
| paranoidabhi | does installing via .deb also add the ppa to the sourcesl.list? | 15:00 |
| ducasse | paranoidabhi: not unless the .deb does so for you. | 15:01 |
| kvmmm | thanks! so looking at that it seems I don't allow "xchat" but "IRC", right? | 15:01 |
| curlyears | kvmmm: yes, because port numbers are assigned to "services" under *nix, not to programs | 15:01 |
| kvmmm | thanks! | 15:02 |
| tatertots | same for windows operating system also | 15:02 |
| curlyears | tatertots: that I neither needed nor wanted to kow :p | 15:02 |
| curlyears | know | 15:02 |
| kvmmm | So under the main firewall thing I will write "reject" but then make rules to allow these specific ports | 15:02 |
| kvmmm | I guess it's working, because that's what I have configured now | 15:03 |
| ducasse | kvmmm: if you ask in ##networking, they can probably point you to some guides on writing firewall rules. | 15:04 |
| === realpanv is now known as Guest71801 | ||
| curlyears | you know, I suppose since this system is going to e connected to my 3D printer, I guess I had better be chacking on whatm, if any firwall there is, and what its settings might be. *snort* | 15:04 |
| kvmmm | ok, thanks | 15:04 |
| laurus | Is there a way to have the system run a program on shutdown? I'm using Xfce. | 15:05 |
| curlyears | I prefer firwalls to aluminum walls, they have a warmer atmosphere :p | 15:05 |
| ubuntu280 | i feel so dumb since i solved this problem but now im having it again | 15:06 |
| curlyears | ubuntu: I have been fighting the same set of problems for over 8 months! | 15:06 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: any luck yesterday? | 15:07 |
| curlyears | EriC^^!!!!! Sadly, no. | 15:07 |
| ubuntu280 | so im writing a micro sd and i get to the part where i mkdir boot but it tells me there is alread a folder named boot i was able to fix the problem by using rm but i think the problem is i dont have the path to the drive | 15:08 |
| ubuntu280 | the last time i fixed the problem with rm | 15:08 |
| ubuntu280 | this time it doesnt allow me to | 15:08 |
| ubuntu280 | it for some reason saves the last session | 15:08 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu280: what does it say? | 15:09 |
| akik | ubuntu280: pwd tells you the directory where you're at | 15:09 |
| curlyears | I tried everything I could through about 6 reinstalls, each with a different partition table configuration. The installs kep borking, so I removed th 500GB HDD and replaced it with a 240Gb SSD that i had lying about. I tried again, got through the installation with zero errors or problems, reported. Went to reboot, same old DMMI Pool problem as | 15:09 |
| curlyears | before )-: | 15:09 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: with just the 240gb plugged in? | 15:09 |
| curlyears | Eric^^: no, with the DVD and the 2 3TB HDDs plugged in. | 15:10 |
| ubuntu280 | file already exists cannot create directory | 15:10 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu280: what path are you using? | 15:10 |
| curlyears | it's all runniing on SATA | 15:10 |
| ubuntu280 | EriC^^: sudo rm boot | 15:11 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: want to try booting the install from the livedvd? | 15:11 |
| ubuntu280 | a bootable arch linux SD | 15:11 |
| curlyears | that's what I am already doing, EriC^^ | 15:11 |
| hammer25 | when you do sudo apt-get install, are the .deb files kept soemwhere? if so, where? | 15:11 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu280: the absolute path is /boot? | 15:11 |
| ubuntu280 | dev/sdb1/here | 15:12 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: oh no, i mean to boot the install on the hdd using the livedvd, or is that what you meant? | 15:12 |
| akik | ubuntu280: you can not be in /dev/sdb1 as that's just the device file | 15:12 |
| curlyears | how do you "boot the install on the HDD using the LiveDVD?" | 15:13 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: from grub's command prompt | 15:13 |
| curlyears | and how do I get to grub's command prompt? | 15:13 |
| jost | Hi! I'm running ubuntu on my raspbi, and want it to use a static IP. So I've configured the interface eth0 in the file /etc/network/interfaces.d/50-cloud-init.cfg (where eth0 is configured after install), but after rebooting, the file is back to its previous state. Why does that happen, how do I prevent that? Am I using the wrong file? | 15:14 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: when you boot the livedvd right now, do you get a black and white menu? | 15:14 |
| ubuntu280 | EriC^^: eric i have found the command thanks for the quick help the problem is the command is 'rmdir' to get rid of the false dir that was from the last build always have a good time here in umbuntu chat | 15:14 |
| curlyears | I have only seen grub when certain kinds of errors pop up | 15:14 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu280: great | 15:14 |
| ubuntu280 | EriC^^: thanks | 15:15 |
| EriC^^ | ubuntu280: no problem | 15:15 |
| curlyears | \EriC^^: yes. Offers Try Ubuntu without installing, install Ubuntu, and check disk | 15:15 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: aha, press "c" there | 15:15 |
| curlyears | OK. then what? | 15:15 |
| EriC^^ | are you able to be online from another pc/phone? | 15:16 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: no, this is my only online device | 15:16 |
| curlyears | (the browser on my Adobe Fire tablet is unusable, at least by me) | 15:16 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you type "ls -l" you should get a list of the filesystems and their UUID's, the one that's your root partition should be there, along the lines of (hd1,gpt1) or similar | 15:17 |
| curlyears | OK.....so far | 15:17 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you do " set root='(hd1,gpt1)' " | 15:17 |
| curlyears | ok.... | 15:18 |
| EriC^^ | then type "linux /boot/vmlinuz<hit tab a few times to tab complete> root=UUID=<uuid you got when you did ls -l> | 15:18 |
| RonWhoCares | When I did my last update in Ubuntu 16.04 my external monitor (SyncMaster SA10) switched resolution from 1366x768 to 1024 x 768 | 15:19 |
| EriC^^ | (minus the first double quote before linux) | 15:19 |
| RonWhoCares | Any idea how to get the right resolution back? | 15:19 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: so like "linux /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic root=UUID=675357871331" | 15:20 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: then you choose the initrd with "initrd /boot/initrd<hit tab a few times to autocomplete as usual> | 15:20 |
| EriC^^ | then finally you type "boot" and it should start | 15:20 |
| curlyears | OK.. I thihnkn I have all that | 15:22 |
| curlyears | I'd hate to have to go through all that to reboot my computer every time!!! | 15:23 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: no, you could make a livedvd that has that in it's grub.cfg | 15:24 |
| curlyears | it would be so helpful if I could hook my laser printer up and printscreen these things. My handwriting *SUCKS* | 15:24 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: even so, I would prefer to be able to boot directly from the HDD like a normal linux dweeb | 15:25 |
| EriC^^ | yeah of course :) | 15:26 |
| curlyears | *wah* | 15:26 |
| EriC^^ | hehe | 15:26 |
| EriC^^ | try "configfile (hd1,gpt1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg" | 15:26 |
| EriC^^ | (or whatever hd1,gpt1 turns out to be for the ext partition) | 15:27 |
| EriC^^ | it should display the grub menu of the install | 15:27 |
| j_triple_95 | is win10 bitchier than it used to be in terms of dual boot? Tons of problems last few months | 15:27 |
| jost | I have a NVidia GPU (some cheap one), and connect my monitor to it using HDMI. Works fine. But if I disconnect the monitor while the machine is running, and then plug it back in, nothing appears on it | 15:28 |
| jost | Can this behavior be changed? | 15:28 |
| curlyears | This reminds me of the very early days of linux, when I bought a 5 disk linux setup pack (5 CDs), and eageraly installed it, but it wouldn't boot from the HDD. I contacted "tech support" for yggdrizzle, and they said that it was a known problem, and walked me through building a boot diskette that eventually did a chroot to the HDD. It took so klo | 15:29 |
| curlyears | ng to get all that to do it's thing, byt the tim eit finished booting, most of the time I had available for playing with linux was wasted, and I got very little use out of it. A few years later, I installed RedHat Linux | 15:29 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: you might need to do " set prefix='(hd1,gpt1)/boot/grub' " before that | 15:29 |
| curlyears | what does that acconmplish, EriC^^? | 15:29 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: it tells grub where it's main dir is and the modules it uses | 15:30 |
| curlyears | There is no way I am going to accomplish this without step by step guidance )-: | 15:30 |
| curlyears | no, i meant the ione that started "configfile" | 15:31 |
| EriC^^ | i bought linux for windows back in 2000 or so, i barely got it to install i think, then red hat few years later but X never worked for me | 15:31 |
| curlyears | I was never an X or GUI user until Ubuntu 10 (my first ubuntu, I was a Red Hat command line dweeb for YEARS) | 15:32 |
| curlyears | I still prefer CLI | 15:32 |
| EriC^^ | it kept hanging after the installer when i had to choose my monitor, i think i tried installing like half a dozen times choosing various monitors | 15:32 |
| curlyears | I think I recall trying tha once, and deciding "I don't need or want X windows anyway, so to hell with it" | 15:33 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 15:33 |
| curlyears | it used to wierd other users on #linux on eFnet out that I didn't even have X installed or available on my system. They thought I was crazy *heh* | 15:34 |
| curlyears | \why would the install to the SSD result in the smae errors installing to HDDs did? | 15:35 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's the 3tb that's causing the problem | 15:36 |
| curlyears | I meanm, if it was just that the 500GB drive was dead, I could understand that. Butt there is noting wrong with this brand new SSD | 15:36 |
| EriC^^ | did you try without the 3tb's plugged in? | 15:36 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's some sort of raid setting that has to be set? (i've no clue in this area) | 15:37 |
| josh-miller | anyone know how to install this on Ubuntu? I keep getting an error when trying to make install http://www.openvas.org/download/wmi/wmi-1.3.14.tar.bz2 | 15:37 |
| curlyears | no, I suppose I shoudl try that. With my poor eyeys and shaky hands, mucking about with all those cables in that tight enclosure is NNOT fun | 15:37 |
| curlyears | josh-miller: it would be helpful if you told us wghat error you got | 15:38 |
| josh-miller | Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at ./pidl/pidl line 583. | 15:38 |
| curlyears | josh-miller: what language is this thing written in, C++? | 15:39 |
| josh-miller | I believe so yes | 15:39 |
| curlyears | then you are going to have to go into file pidl to liine 583, and debug the line of source code | 15:39 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: do you see me stalling here??? :p | 15:40 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 15:40 |
| EriC^^ | wish i knew more about this | 15:40 |
| curlyears | josh-miller: I have to confess to not knowing enough about C++ to be at all helpful in your endeavour | 15:41 |
| josh-miller | its ok I know nothin about C++ either | 15:41 |
| curlyears | EriC^^: you appear to be highly knowledgeable about it...it is just a bizarre problem. | 15:42 |
| curlyears | is there a #c++ channel? | 15:42 |
| bluelivesmatter1 | does anyone know if bay trail cpu fix will be coming soon? | 15:42 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: it's probably some sort of (stuff i dont understand here) issue | 15:42 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 15:42 |
| bluelivesmatter1 | this is the bay trail kernel bug whereby systems freeze under huge load. | 15:43 |
| EriC^^ | curlyears: yeah | 15:43 |
| curlyears | josh-miller: try #c++ | 15:43 |
| curlyears | bluelivesmatter1: isn't fereezing better han overheating under huge loads? :p | 15:44 |
| bluelivesmatter1 | curlyears: it should be fixed. otherwise, you have to lock the cpu to higher speeds, which is a problem in terms of battery life. | 15:45 |
| bluelivesmatter1 | i know that the current 4.6 kernel still has the issue. | 15:45 |
| curlyears | bluelivesmatter1: I'm sorry. I was just being a smart ass. I shouldn't have disrespected your issue. | 15:46 |
| bluelivesmatter1 | no problem. | 15:46 |
| curlyears | see you guys later ( I *HOPE*) | 15:47 |
| EriC^^ | see you | 15:47 |

| lickalott | ducasse, yes sir. Nothing helpful. THe odd part is 2 of the other NFS mounts work fine.

Regardless, when I tail the messages file there are no "issues" noted when I run the mount command from the client. | 18:16 |

| ankit | sound is not working on ubuntu 16.04,, please help to rezsolve this | 19:20 |
| Chan_ryihne | I can't find wlan0 when ifconfig only wlp19s0 | 19:21 |
| Chan_ryihne | Any idea? | 19:21 |
| ankit | i tried them | 19:21 |
| Alver | Chan_ryihne: and is that a problem? | 19:21 |
| ankit | but nothing is working out | 19:22 |
| OerHeks | that would be the new Predictable Interface Naming thing in 16.04 | 19:22 |
| OerHeks | so use wlp19s0 | 19:22 |
| Chan_ryihne | Alver, well,the wifi keeps automatically disconnect every few minutes | 19:23 |
| curlyears | EriC^^? | 19:23 |
| Alver | Okay, *that* is a problem. Not the device name. :) | 19:23 |
| Alver | Chan_ryihne: anything in the logs? | 19:23 |
| Chan_ryihne | I'm a newbie :D SO like what logs :D | 19:23 |

| ankit | ubuntu 16.04 sound not working from speakers | 19:24 |
| curlyears | We have Joy in the house! I finally got 14.04.4 to install and properly boot up! All Hail EriC^^!!!!! | 19:24 |
| curlyears | ankit: are you speakers bluetooth? | 19:24 |
| ankit | no laptop built-in speakers | 19:24 |
| ankit | but headphone sound is working fine | 19:25 |
| curlyears | OK, just checking. There seems to be a lot of people with trouble with bluetooth under 16.04, so I thought I'd ask. Wish I could help further | 19:25 |
| ankit | no problem | 19:26 |
| curlyears | ankit: *huh*? That's odd. | 19:26 |
| ankit | yes really odd | 19:26 |
| MonkeyDust | ankit open a terminal and type alsamixer ... if you see MM, go there and hit m to unmute | 19:26 |

| ankit | ok | 19:26 |
| tortib | How can I have ubuntu use the nvidia binary drivers? X is using the nouveau driver still | 19:27 |
| ankit | i did it | 19:27 |
| ankit | but still sound not working | 19:27 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust!!! My system is finaly working. All I had to do was disconnect my 2 3TB drives, and reset the BIOS for "automatic" EFI selection | 19:27 |
| curlyears | so now I'm wondering if I sould try to boot off the USB thumn and install 16.04, since everything else seems to be working now | 19:28 |
| curlyears | dang, it was plugginf in the 3TB drives, and switching tthe BIOS to EFI that seems to have screwed everything up | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | tortib, which nvidia gpu? or is your graphics system a hybrid nvidia and intel? | 19:30 |
| curlyears | MonkeyDust? | 19:30 |
| ankit | ubuntu 16.04 no sound from build-in speakers | 19:31 |
| curlyears | hey, MonkeyDust: I've been wondering, are you coarsely ground, or finely ground? | 19:32 |
| ioria | ankit, system settings -> sound -> output have you seen in there ? | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | tortib, which nvidia gpu? or is your graphics system a hybrid nvidia and intel aka Optimus | 19:33 |
| ankit | yes | 19:34 |
| curlyears | ankit: look ini you system's audio control panel, determine if there is separate control of internal and external speakers, and confirm if so that internal speakers are, in fact, enabled. | 19:34 |
| tortib | BluesKaj, no it's just a GTX 970, I figured it out it was using the default nvidia driver, now it's using the binary driver. | 19:34 |
| ioria | ankit, uname -r | 19:34 |

| curlyears | apaternoster: generally speaking, if someone knows or has an idea how to help you, they'll speak up. It isn't necessary to keep repeating your query ever few minutes. :p | 19:47 |

| ankit | sound was working earlier, but i don't know with which kernel | 20:02 |
| ankit | i just upgraded, now sound is not working | 20:02 |
| ankit | wioria what should I do to fix this?? | 20:02 |
| ioria | ankit, at boot, press shift -> Advanced Options and try 4.4.0-30-generic | 20:02 |
| ioria | ankit, you upgrade from what version of ubuntu ? | 20:03 |
| ankit | 15.10 | 20:03 |
| ankit | should I reboot now?? | 20:04 |
| ioria | ankit, nope | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | ankit, sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , if no error/output then the driver loaded ok | 20:04 |
| ioria | ankit, no 4.2 kernel | 20:04 |
| ankit | no output of that command | 20:05 |
| ioria | ankit, you have an utopic kernel vmlinuz-3.16.0-33-generic and a trusy one vmlinuz-3.13.0-38-generic | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | ankit, then the driver loaded without error | 20:06 |
| ankit | okay, what should I do now to fix?? | 20:06 |
| BluesKaj | ankit in alsamixer , make sure your automute is disabled | 20:07 |
| curlyears | what command do I use that displays the CPU workload and temperature? | 20:07 |
| jatt | lm-sensors | 20:08 |
| ankit | BluesKaj automute is disabled | 20:08 |
| jatt | for temperature | 20:08 |
| ioria | ankit, boot one of the above kernels, ( maybe a fresh install of 16.04 or 14.04 could help, just saying ) | 20:08 |
| curlyears | lm-sensors? I am about to run cpu-burn on my 8 core AMD, I want to monitor the temps carefully | 20:09 |
| ankit | installing fresh 16.04 may lost my data?? | 20:09 |
| curlyears | ankit" backup your data | 20:09 |
| ioria | ankit, yes, if you don't have backups | 20:09 |
| ankit | there must be something can be done for fixing the issue | 20:09 |
| curlyears | ankit: reinstalling is what can be done (and *MAY* fix your issue) | 20:10 |
| ioria | ankit, sure, keep asking someone will answer | 20:10 |
| OerHeks | if you don't have a backup,. your data is not important. | 20:10 |

| agpirie | Hello. I had sophos antivirus for linux on my ubuntu mate partition, and when it was updating grub, sophos blocked it and now grub is gone. | 20:26 |
| agpirie | I've tried a lot | 20:26 |
| agpirie | Trying grub-install /dev/sda | 20:26 |
| agpirie | grub-update | 20:26 |
| agpirie | even in chroot | 20:26 |
| gbaker1 | My favorite command that I found out about recently is "inxi -Fxr" | 20:26 |
| BluesKaj | ankit, interesting, that's a new feature | 20:27 |
| bekks | agpirie: You tried a lot and what happened exactly? And which Ubuntu version do you have exactly? | 20:27 |
| ankit | but actually if I connect my headphone, it should start automatically | 20:28 |
| agpirie | Ubuntu MATE 16.04 | 20:28 |
| agpirie | bekks Ubuntu MATE | 20:28 |
| curlyears | typing both "jobs" and sudo jobs generates no output. Does that mean my process didn't go to the background? | 20:28 |
| bekks | agpirie: And which VERSION? | 20:28 |
| agpirie | 16.04 | 20:28 |
| agpirie | grub 2 | 20:28 |
| BluesKaj | only if your volume control is turned up, ankit | 20:29 |
| ankit | yes | 20:29 |

| agpirie | I tried boot-repair | 20:30 |
| agpirie | it always gave an error | 20:30 |
| gbaker1 | On your sound also make sure the "Digital Output (S/PDIF)" isn't selected as the main output. I had that problem and took a few days to figure out that stupid little error. | 20:30 |
| bekks | agpirie: WHICH error? | 20:31 |
| curlyears | I have never trusted active anti-virus programs. They seem to alwsy either slow your system down by a fair chunk, or do things like ewhat just happened to agpirie | 20:31 |
| agpirie | Yeah | 20:31 |
| agpirie | I don't know which error | 20:31 |
| agpirie | I'll do it again though | 20:31 |

| agpirie | It doesnt say error code or something | 20:32 |
| bekks | agpirie: We cant help you without an exact error message. | 20:32 |
| Akuli | bekks, is the grub repair report not an exact error message? what is then? | 20:32 |
| bekks | Akuli: No. | 20:32 |
| Akuli | in that case we'll chroot and show you what exactly we're getting | 20:33 |
| Akuli | agpirie, follow the instructions in the grub repair link again just to give bekks some "actual errors" | 20:33 |
| agpirie | Akuli gimme that chroot link for reinstalling grub 2 again | 20:33 |

| gbaker1 | Linux Mint 18 Sarah | 20:43 |
| bekks | agpirie: Thats explained in detail, in the article given. | 20:43 |
| MonkeyDust | gbaker1 mint is not supported in this channel | 20:43 |
| bekks | curlyears: Run the software you want to use and see if you have temperature issues. If you dont, no need for further concerns. | 20:43 |
| Akuli | gbaker1, i'll come to #linuxmint-help on spotchat, see you there | 20:43 |
| curlyears | bekks: OK...I wasn't sure if that would be safe | 20:44 |
| MonkeyDust | gbaker1 or didnt you have an issue, if so: apologies | 20:44 |
| Akuli | gbaker1, i guess you know how to get there since you've gotten to freenode? | 20:44 |

| gbaker1 | Yes, but I still use ubuntu on my desktop. Mint is on my laptop with the raid controller. :) And that doesn't mean I cant help with Ubuntu issues. | 20:44 |
| curlyears | I've never had a system shutdown on me for excess temps, don't know how reliable that service is | 20:45 |
| agpirie | Where is the EFI directory? | 20:45 |
| Akuli | gbaker1, oh i thought you needed help :) | 20:45 |
| bekks | agpirie: you didnt mount /boot/efi | 20:45 |
| Akuli | i don't use ubuntu either :D | 20:45 |
| curlyears | let's all kill Akuli!!!!!!!!! :p | 20:45 |
| gbaker1 | nope. system works great. just was complicated with ubuntu with a laptop with raid.... | 20:46 |

| curlyears | how does your laptop jhave a raid array? How much does that thing weigh? | 20:46 |

| gbaker1 | here is mt system. https://pastebin.com/NBwLqrLk | 20:47 |

| SharkWuff | am i in the right place for lubuntu? | 20:51 |
| ankit | can I check speaker hardware working or not?? | 20:52 |
| curlyears | ankit: at this point, I'd recommend having a qualified technician check your laptop sound system | 20:52 |
| ankit | okay | 20:53 |
| curlyears | I know, that's anathema, but d00d, your system is REALLY screwed up | 20:53 |
| curlyears | on the other hand, if any of our mucvh more experienced users disagree with me, by all means, go with their advice | 20:53 |
| SharkWuff | !lubuntu | 20:54 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 20:54 |
| BluesKaj | ankit or you could try without pulseaudio , intel audio driver doesn't need pulseaudio to work , all mu=y intel audio equipped pcs run fine on linux without pulse...it's worth looking into | 20:54 |
| \9 | SharkWuff: you can ask ubuntu questions in here, though if you have issues with the lxde desktop you're better off with a dedicated channel | 20:54 |
| ankit | BluesKaj should I remove pulseaudio?? | 20:55 |
| === kuba is now known as Guest71611 | ||
| SharkWuff | Hey guys i been trying to get my headphone to work and webcam as well but no joy not sure if its my laptop or lubutu | 20:56 |
| BluesKaj | ankit, most users would not recommend removing/purging pulseaudio. I'm just mentioning it if you are interested in researching this option futher. | 20:57 |
| BluesKaj | further | 20:57 |
| ankit | sure thanks | 20:57 |
| curlyears | *ack* how does modern linux restore character echo in term? It is accepting my commmands, but not echoing them to the screen *ACK* | 20:58 |

| jatt | man reset | 21:06 |
| jatt | sometimes if the terminal is unresponsive or garbled, reset fixes it | 21:06 |
| tatertots | well i got my lightdm background image changed to a static image....and that's a good thing :) | 21:07 |
| bekks | jatt: Which shell do you use? | 21:07 |
| SharkWuff | curlyears, would i need Cups for my wifi printer to print over wifi | 21:07 |
| jatt | bash | 21:07 |
| curlyears | I believe (someone correct me if I am mistaken, please) that Cups is required for printing, regardless of the physcial link type | 21:10 |
| SharkWuff | thanks | 21:11 |
| SharkWuff | that clears one problem up | 21:11 |
| specialedge | i started with ssh-keygen on my remote machine, and ive configured putty clients on two windows machines to connect using putty .ppk key, as well as an ssh app on my tablet by exporting the putty key to openssh. now I am running an ubuntu virtual machine on my desktop and am unable to complete the handshake using the previous key files | 21:13 |

| curlyears | I've been sitting on this hardwood kitchen chair for 8 hours today, and my rear end is in pain | 21:22 |
| SemiNus | :) | 21:22 |
| SemiNus | I hoped to find a little support here | 21:22 |
| Sandy | yes we are all here ..:) | 21:22 |
| tatertots | what ubuntu problem are you having SemiNus? | 21:22 |
| specialedge | heres my verbose output: http://pastebin.com/X7EEM5Uu | 21:22 |
| curlyears | Sandy: may one deduce from your presence in this channel that you are an ubuntu user? | 21:22 |
| Sandy | yes i am | 21:23 |
| SemiNus | Usually in the past, whenever I installed any flavor of either Debian or Ubuntu, my (even old) Computers showed a very well performance. However, this time, my laptop really bothers me. | 21:23 |
| Sandy | curlyears: why u ask ? | 21:23 |
| SemiNus | When I scroll down websites in google chrome, they don't scroll smoothly, they "jump" | 21:23 |
| curlyears | *AHA* *THAT* is why I found something called "mind reader" in my ps -alx output!!!! :p | 21:24 |
| SemiNus | videos (even when they have downloaded) stop in order to continue and stop again | 21:24 |

| SemiNus | it seems as if my laptop would have a 200 MHZ processor | 21:24 |
| curlyears | s/oo/o/ | 21:24 |
| SemiNus | I guess there is some kind of a driver problem | 21:24 |
| Sandy | great me too :) | 21:24 |
| SemiNus | and I hoped somebody here could guide me through the "find out what it is and fix it - process" | 21:25 |
| tatertots | SemiNus what version of ubuntu? | 21:25 |
| SemiNus | 16.04 | 21:25 |

| tatertots | SemiNus what does your performance look like in system monitor?....cmd "gnome-system-monitor" | 21:26 |
| Sandy | curlyears: how old are u ? | 21:26 |
| tatertots | go to the resources tab SemiNus, what % CPU?...what % memory? | 21:26 |
| curlyears | Sandy: I turn 63 in 12 days | 21:27 |
| Sandy | omg ....u have experience of life . | 21:27 |
| curlyears | tatertots: which "resources" page are you referring to? | 21:27 |
| Sandy | i want to speak with u private | 21:27 |
| SemiNus | tatertots, I am just installing it | 21:27 |
| curlyears | Sandy: care to enter a debate on whether that is desireable or not? *grin* | 21:27 |
| SemiNus | 1 moment pls, I will tell you the output in a moment | 21:27 |
| Sandy | i don`t know to do it | 21:28 |
| tatertots | SemiNus so you are still in the process of installing Ubuntu and you're already coming to the conclusion that it's not performing well? | 21:28 |
| specialedge | clearly not enough experience of life | 21:28 |
| SemiNus | tatertots, no, I am using ubuntu 16.04 since 2 months, but gnome is not my primary working environment. I am on trinity. | 21:29 |
| SemiNus | tatertots, however, I tried to avoid mentioning trinity desktop, because I feared people could blame trinity for this. But I am sure trinity is not the problem | 21:29 |
| even | Hey guys. I just installed BackBox | 21:29 |

| ubottu | even: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. | 21:30 |
| SemiNus | tatertots, gnome-system-monitor is not running, and it seems to be exactly the same output as "top" in the command line. | 21:30 |

| bekks | YankDownUnder: that will not magically speed up that hardware. | 22:30 |
| YankDownUnder | I'm merely going on experience with older hardware. Such is the case with many laptops that I have to "repurpose". The 64-bit edition obviously would be the preferred choice, however, processing speed coupled with graphics reduces the overall performance to a crawl. The 32-bit version obviously runs quicker. But there is merely IMHO and by experience. Experiementation is the key, really. | 22:33 |

| ubuntu439 | My graphich card have 1GB. Only the cpu can slow down some os maybe. | 22:45 |
| stacks88 | so this box i have, ubuntu 14.04 doesnt seem to support the network card. so ive got to download the nic drivers from intel website and install them. but my question is, i prefer to rely on apt-get dist-upgrade for kernel upgrades. so if through apt a new kernel is installed, when i go to reboot, would those nic drivers i initially installed, still work ? or would i have to do it all over again | 22:46 |
| stacks88 | for every kernel upgrade? I have not done any of this yet, nor have i ever really installed any nic drivers manually lol. so i guess im asking can you install nic drivers, and then not have to reinstall them every time you install a kernel upgrade via apt? | 22:46 |
| ahrc333ff | stacks88, I cannot say this definitively, but to the best of my recollection that kernel module you install for the NIC will not persist through the upgrade. | 22:48 |
| ahrc333ff | at least, last time I had to do somethign similar that was the case for me | 22:48 |

| stacks88 | Does anyone know if ubuntu 16.04 supports this nic ? https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/14687 or is there some way to find out ? | 22:52 |
| drpuritan | Never compiled | 22:52 |
| LJHSLDJHSDLJH | ahrc333ff: why do you think there is source to compile Oracle Database Express Edition | 22:52 |
| LJHSLDJHSDLJH | thanks jatt | 22:53 |
| jatt | 😉 | 22:53 |
| sulle\a | Why is it when i open a game. it pops up on my second monitor. Why wont it go on my main screen ?. | 22:53 |
| ahrc333ff | stacks88: sorry, not something I'm familiar with off the top of my head. but usually there are instructions to compile whenyou downoad the source code | 22:53 |
| YankDownUnder | stacks88: Something to read quickly: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/intel-graphics-installer-linux-1.4.0 | 22:55 |
| YankDownUnder | stacks88: "Ubuntu is already current..." | 22:55 |
| daumie | sulle\a: did you bind your game to a specific workspaces? | 22:57 |
| sulle\a | No | 22:57 |
| sulle\a | daumie, i dont know how to do that. | 22:57 |
| sulle\a | i have 2 screens. and the games pops up on the second one | 22:58 |
| daumie | Are the graphics processors different for the monitors? | 22:58 |
| sulle\a | its 2 diffrent monitors, but same graphic card | 22:58 |
| daumie | Which card? | 22:59 |
| sulle\a | I use playOnlinux and use wine. | 22:59 |
| YankDownUnder | One of the monitors is set to primary, the other secondary. The monitor you want to have the game "play" on should be primary. Change the monitor designation. | 22:59 |
| sulle\a | GeForce GTX 780 | 23:00 |
| sulle\a | Where do i do that?. | 23:00 |
| YankDownUnder | Control Centre => Hardware => Monitors/Displays | 23:01 |
| sulle\a | YankDownUnder, there is no place where i can choose primary | 23:01 |
| YankDownUnder | sulle\a: What desktop are you using - Unity? Mate? KDE? Cinnamon? | 23:02 |
| daumie | Detect displays under appearance | 23:02 |
| sulle\a | Ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 23:02 |
| YankDownUnder | sulle\a: So you're using Unity, yes? No? Not sure? | 23:03 |
| sulle\a | not sure | 23:03 |
| sulle\a | YankDownUnder, Xenial | 23:04 |
| sulle\a | and when i click "Detect Displays" nothing happens, both monitors works. But for some odd reasons the games wants to show up on monitor 2. | 23:05 |
| YankDownUnder | It's not about "detecting displays" - you're wanting to set the primary display. In the window where you're seeing the two monitors, you should be able to click on the one that you want to have as your primary display - there is a black bar that you should be able to drag to the monitor of your choice, then click "apply/save" and that should resolve the issue. | 23:06 |
| sulle\a | YankDownUnder, the only black bare in there is the ubuntu menu bar showing up on the 1st monitor | 23:09 |
| sulle\a | The rest of the window is gray. +2 monitors. one yellow "with the black menu bar" and a blue monitor next to it. | 23:09 |
| YankDownUnder | sulle\a: You should be able to drag that bar to the next monitor. | 23:10 |
| === GitGud is now known as Timberlegs | ||
| sulle\a | Yes i can that but then it will be wrong. then my second monitor have the menu bar and my main monitor dont., | 23:11 |
| YankDownUnder | sulle\a: This might give you some hints: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/solved-multiple-display-16-04-loginscreen-placement/5456 | 23:11 |
| sulle\a | YankDownUnder, ok, thank you. I will look in to it. | 23:13 |
| bilb_ono | is there a good way to check if the GPU is available on my machine | 23:17 |
| bilb_ono | I am trying to run a program which uses the GPU and it keeps saying there is none | 23:17 |
| bilb_ono | but I swear there is - its an amazon ec2 instance | 23:18 |

| ScriptThis | What does the -F explanation of man ls actually mean? "append indicator (one of */=>@|) to entries" <-- that? | 23:28 |
| gbaker1 | bilb_ono Try "sudo lshw -C display" | 23:30 |
| bilb_ono | gbaker1: lspci seemed to work thanks | 23:30 |
| gbaker1 | No prob, fogured the other command spits out a lot less info | 23:31 |
| gbaker1 | *figured | 23:31 |
| trism | ScriptThis: "The file type indicators are `/' for directories, `@' for symbolic links, `|' for FIFOs, `=' for sockets, `>' for doors, and nothing for regular files." | 23:31 |
| trism | ScriptThis: from: info ls; | 23:32 |
| trism | ScriptThis: I thought it listed it on one of the man pages too but I couldn't find it | 23:32 |
| ScriptThis | trism, thank you! | 23:32 |
| Grorco | Hello I was just thinking about it how come you can install programs using google play for android without root, but you can't do it with ubuntu *insert any software manager here* | 23:47 |
| tatertots | Grorco isn't that an apple to oranges comparison commonly made by people who mistakenly think android and linux are identical? | 23:49 |
| Grorco | or am I wrong is there a way to point lets say ubuntu software centre to the user space? | 23:49 |
| tatertots | Apple OS x and linux are both unix based...that doesn't mean they are the same | 23:50 |
| tatertots | *nix based | 23:50 |
| Grorco | tatertots, I understand they're not identical, but I was just wondering I had never thought about it don't do much with my phone outside of games :) | 23:51 |
| YankDownUnder | Android is a VM that lives on top of a basic linux kernel. A VM - virtual machine. | 23:51 |
| Grorco | tatertots, see I thought android was just built on top of the linux kernel | 23:52 |
| Grorco | so when you root your phone is it giving you access to the actual linux system it resides on? | 23:52 |
| Grorco | or is it just root to the vm? | 23:53 |
| YankDownUnder | In Android - things get installed specifically for "the user" - not "the system". In order to do things "in the system", the OS has to be "rooted". In *nix, the SYSTEM is where things get installed/affected...the user is merely, well, a user. If the user gets hosed, the system still lives. In Android, if the user gets hosed, well, you have to re-install the VM. | 23:53 |
| tatertots | < waiting for someone to chime in with the whole #ubuntu-offtopic thing | 23:54 |
| YankDownUnder | Only the Nazis will do that, bro. | 23:54 |
| ikonia | errr no | 23:54 |
| ikonia | please don't make that sort of refernce, it's uncalled for | 23:54 |
| tatertots | funny how sometimes when people aren't talking about ubuntu they are quick to pull the #offtopic trigger | 23:54 |
| Grorco | tatertots, well the question was more about if I could do it in linux | 23:54 |
| ikonia | the channels topic is ubuntu support discussion | 23:54 |
| Grorco | specifically ubuntu | 23:55 |
| ikonia | if you want other topics there are various other channels including #ubuntu-offtopic | 23:55 |
| Grorco | tatertots, this really comes down to I want my daughter to be able to download and use apps in her user space on my machine without granting her root | 23:56 |
| Grorco | just thought about it worked like that on android so wondered if it was possible | 23:56 |
| ikonia | Grorco: just grant sudo access to the package manager, nothing more | 23:56 |
| ikonia | then she can install what she wants and it will be audited and manageable | 23:57 |
| Grorco | ikonia, I added her to my sudoers file but it gave her all access I beilve | 23:57 |
| Grorco | maybe I did it wrong | 23:57 |
| ikonia | then don't do that | 23:58 |
| ikonia | just grant access to the package manager | 23:58 |
| Grorco | how do I do that? I had asked before and that was the response I got | 23:58 |
| ikonia | Grorco: if you read up on sudo rules, you'll find you can grant any access to any program | 23:59 |
| Grorco | ikonia, not using the sudoers file? | 23:59 |
