| YankDownUnder | avis-: You can't anymore. Google changed the protocols. | 00:07 |
| R13ose | I am using Chrome and want a way a button that allows me to automatically sort my bookmarks into folders that are similar. Any ideas on how to do that? | 00:08 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Have you looked in the associated Google groups online for that? They've got a huge "wiki" for that stuff... | 00:09 |
| ubuntu_fail | Bashing-om: sorry, got bumped off the net. looks like with the basic "load" it works fine - I'm going to retry it to make sure it's consistently so. The DPI thing is not as important. what I wonder is if we can compare syslog or some other log file and see a difference in modules that break it | 00:10 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: I looked and didn't find anything yet. | 00:10 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Um...you do know that this is the Ubuntu support forum, right? | 00:10 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: yes but besides Google Groups where on IRC can I get help with this? | 00:10 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: That I'm honestly not sure of... | 00:11 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: There *is* a channel -> #chrome | 00:12 |
| Bashing-om | ubuntu_fail: Think'n .. Just a bit over my skill level . | 00:12 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: yep I will ask there | 00:12 |
| crafty1 | R13ose: Beyond that there is no native way to do this as far as I know | 00:14 |
| R13ose | thanks | 00:14 |
| crafty1 | How would a program know which bookmarks are "similar" | 00:14 |
| michaelrose | hey have reason to believe this issue is a ubuntu bug | 00:15 |
| ubuntu_fail | Bashing-om: Hmmm.... I treid the game back (haven't rebooted yet) and the frame rate is down to 7 | 00:15 |
| michaelrose | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1345585, my experience is that at reboot /etc/X11/xorg.conf is moved to xorg.conf.date | 00:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1345585 in nvidia-prime (Ubuntu) "xorg.conf with manual config is moved away at upgrade" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:15 |
| YankDownUnder | There's like heaps of extensions and "thingos" for dealing with bookmarks in Chrome...just a matter of experimentation - and as well, if one is creative enough, there's a means by which to directly modify the text file(s) that contain the bookmarks...but I digress...it's not really an Ubuntu thingo, is it... | 00:15 |
| R13ose | crafty1: based on either the title or the url. | 00:15 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: you are right and I asked in the other room | 00:16 |
| Bashing-om | ubuntu_fail: Now that makes little sense .. what is going on that loads the system down so ? does 'top' shed any light on system resource consumption ? | 00:16 |
| ubuntu_fail | Bashing-om: no real CPU usage; compiz is using 500Mb RAM, but its a 16Gb system | 00:18 |
| R13ose | moving to next room, bye bye | 00:18 |

| pokeyeball | i was trying to remove encryption on my home folder and i made backup and then deleted my home folder from a root guest profile but i must have messed up because it says my backup file doesnt exist, | 00:22 |
| pokeyeball | anyway to create a new home folder so i can login? i was following this guide http://www.howtogeek.com/116179/how-to-disable-home-folder-encryption-after-installing-ubuntu/ | 00:22 |
| ubuntu_fail | Bashing-om: Argh. So I rebotted and brought up systemctl isolate graphical.target, and now the frame rate is 5-10fps.... | 00:26 |
| ubuntu_fail | Bashing-om: this is like when I uninstalled virtualbox - it must have reset some parameter or other, but it gets screwed up on the next reboot | 00:26 |
| YankDownUnder | ubuntu_fail: Wait a tick - everything you're doing is inside Virtualbox? | 00:27 |
| michaelrose | specifically can anyone shed light on why /var/lib/info/nvidia-prime.postrm would be run on a system that is just rebooting on a system that doesn't have a switchable gpu | 00:28 |
| ubuntu_fail | YankDownUnder: no - it's a clean 16.04 install (yesterday we noted I had an old version of virtualbox, and I unsistalled it thinking it may cause problems via dkms or whatever) - but it's an ubuntu system (dual boot) | 00:28 |
| sh0t | hi guys | 00:28 |
| YankDownUnder | ubuntu_fail: Fair enough, fair enough - just saw "Virtualbox" and my mind went along that path... | 00:29 |
| sh0t | i am trying to install the module for my Real tek wireless | 00:29 |
| sh0t | i run these commands | 00:29 |

| sh0t | but at the boot if i do modprobe rt3290sta it says that's impossible to find the key | 00:29 |
| sh0t | even though at the boot i proceed in registering the key | 00:29 |
| sh0t | can anyone help me please? | 00:31 |
| YankDownUnder | sh0t: Paitence. | 00:31 |
| crafty1 | !patience | sh0t | 00:31 |

| sh0t | i just felt i was rude not asking "please..." i get it | 00:32 |
| YankDownUnder | sh0t: In the course of 24 hours, there are hundreds of folks that pass through the channels...patience is the best tool/weapon...someone will know how to resolve your issue...hmm...have a cup and relax...all is good | 00:33 |
| michaelrose | Basically var/lib/dpkg/info/nvidia-prime.postrm is run at upgrade or install of nvidia-prime and deletes xorg.conf | 00:52 |
| michaelrose | this is basically ridiculous | 00:52 |
| m4xx | for some reason any time i reboot my raid needs to resync | 00:52 |
| michaelrose | man I really hate ubuntu | 00:52 |

| michaelrose | people knock more manual setups because they take more time and expertise, how much time and expertise is required to debug magic nonsense | 00:54 |
| YankDownUnder | michaelrose: Um...you do know that "xorg.conf" is setup differently now, right? | 00:54 |
| michaelrose | define setup differently? | 00:55 |
| m4xx | i saw on google to try adding "mdadm --wait-clean --scan" to a shutdown script somewhere but i'm not sure where to but it on ubuntu 16.04 | 00:56 |

| ericx2x | hey guys, i just made a web server using ubuntu on my laptop. I'm afraid my laptop may die as I host my site. I simply want to figure out some way to back up my server so that if it goes down I can purchase a new server and rerun the items that were on my laptop | 00:56 |
| YankDownUnder | m4xx: Being that you're dealing with a RAID system, have you though to ask in the #ubuntu-server channel? | 00:56 |
| ericx2x | anyone have any ideas on how to ensure my server data isn't lost? | 00:56 |
| m4xx | negative | 00:56 |
| michaelrose | I know you can put stuff in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 00:57 |
| YankDownUnder | ericx2x: Lookinto how to backup your apache stuff => there's ample information for that. | 00:57 |
| michaelrose | this isn't a good reason to manually delete someones xorg.conf | 00:57 |
| m4xx | thank you | 00:57 |
| michaelrose | much less do it every time a package is updated | 00:57 |
| ericx2x | I'm not using apache i'm using nginx | 00:57 |
| ericx2x | its a rails app | 00:57 |
| ericx2x | but i can easily backup my site | 00:57 |
| ericx2x | i was wondering if i could backup my entire server though | 00:57 |
| ericx2x | so i can easily deploy it on a new laptop if my current one dies | 00:58 |
| YankDownUnder | ericx2x: There are heaps of different methods for doing complete backups...system-wide and otherwise. | 00:58 |
| YankDownUnder | ericx2x: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem | 00:59 |
| crafty1 | Yeah thats an extremely broad question asking how to backup datae | 01:00 |
| crafty1 | I mean you could use tape drives, you could use an offsite backup; the list goes on and on and isnt specific to an OS | 01:00 |
| YankDownUnder | For *me*, on some systems - depending on the size - I generally dd stuff...but that's me... | 01:00 |
| ericx2x | dd? | 01:00 |
| ericx2x | anyone used vagrant before? | 01:01 |
| OerHeks | !backup | 01:01 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 01:01 |
| crafty1 | CloneZilla is pretty cool | 01:01 |
| OerHeks | !clone | 01:01 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 01:01 |
| YankDownUnder | ericx2x: Open a term and type "man dd" | 01:01 |
| m4xx | seems dead in there :( | 01:01 |
| ericx2x | im on my windows machine right now :\ | 01:01 |
| ericx2x | so i can't | 01:01 |
| YankDownUnder | ericx2x: On the web, type "dd+manual" => you'll see what I mean. | 01:02 |
| Finetundra | Hey folks, Anyone know any good local file sharing softwares for linux similar to samba? | 01:02 |
| OerHeks | just use clonezilla to 'dd' your drive | 01:02 |

| ericx2x | sounds good thanks guys | 01:03 |
| hggdh | ericx2x: see http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ | 01:04 |
| Bashing-om | Gribo: That '$' indicates user level system access .. whereas '#" indicates root access . | 01:04 |
| OerHeks | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 01:04 |
| YankDownUnder | And here all these years I thought the "$" was to show how much money you're saving by not running a Microsoft OS...far out... ;) | 01:04 |
| Gribo | Why don't I see it in my terminal though? | 01:05 |
| Gribo | Nvm lol | 01:05 |
| crafty1 | Finetundra: If you dont have any specific set of requirements NFS is similar. Samba is commonly used to communicate with non-UNIX machines. | 01:08 |
| Finetundra | Thanks crafty1, I'll check it out | 01:09 |

| OerHeks | oh, mint has its own issues | 01:25 |
| crafty1 | Yeah gott\a love those bugs that have been unassigned for 2 years | 01:28 |
| michaelrose | that unassigned but regarding this very issue is 2 years old and unassigned | 01:29 |
| michaelrose | because its not a bug per se its apparantly people are too stupid to go use /user/share/X11/xorg.conf.d | 01:29 |
| michaelrose | despite the fact that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is still perfectly valid and shouldn't be randomly bulldozed | 01:30 |
| michaelrose | its actually hard to imagine what the developer was even thinking | 01:30 |
| crafty1 | What is this NVIDIA-prime package. Can you email the maintainer https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime | 01:31 |
| michaelrose | its a package that provides support for switchable gpus | 01:31 |
| crafty1 | Oh OK I think you had mentioned. I wish the packages had summations on pages like that | 01:31 |
| michaelrose | some laptops have a beefy nvidia gpu and a weaker say intel integrated one | 01:31 |

| Trinity | if I encrypt ubuntu with full disk encryption will I still be able to search files via grep? | 02:16 |
| Trinity | what i'm really wondering is the mechanism behind the encryption. Does it decrypt everything when you enter in the passphrase or is the passphrase remembered and used independently for every program? | 02:17 |
| tgm4883 | Trinity: yes you can search files via grep | 02:17 |
| SchrodingersScat | Trinity: it's mostly transparent after you've decrypted the disk | 02:17 |
| ax562 | Are you thee Trinity? (In my Neo voice) :p | 02:17 |
| Trinity | SchrodingersScat, would you mind elaborating on what 'mostly transparent' means? | 02:18 |
| de-facto | i guess you decrypt the key used for transparent disk encryption/decryption when you enter a passphrase, but thats just a guess | 02:19 |
| SchrodingersScat | Trinity: that all the files appear unencrypted once you're logged in. so if you grep a file then it'll grep. Of course that reverses whenever you haven't supplied the passphrase yet. | 02:19 |
| crafty1 | michaelrose: I agree completely. I ran Gentoo for about a year a few years ago, prior to losing my mind and the user generated grub cfgs are great. | 02:21 |
| crafty1 | Its great when the user can generate those because if something goes wrong its easier to resolve | 02:21 |
| michaelrose | To be entirely clear the disk itself remains encrypted forever, the encryption is usually on a layer entirely below the file system thus only THIS layer worries about encrypting and decrypting | 02:21 |
| michaelrose | and this happens in memory | 02:21 |
| Trinity | ah, thank you michaelrose and SchrodingersScat | 02:22 |
| Trinity | michaelrose, if it's not too much to ask... :) would you mind elaborating on layers below the file system? haha :) | 02:23 |
| Trinity | cause i'd think that the file is saved as it's encrypted version and decrypted post passphrase | 02:24 |
| michaelrose | it varies there are different approaches, in some you have a fake filesystem on top of the real one, in some the filesystem knows about encryption and handles this, in others its handled by a different layer for example luks | 02:24 |
| Trinity | from my research it would seem that ubuntu's uses luks? what do you mean by a different layer? Would the encrypted content of the filesystem be unencrypted on the fly? | 02:25 |
| michaelrose | like ordinarily you create say an ext4 filesystem based on a physical device/partition, instead you can first create a special type of container and create the filesystem on top of that | 02:25 |
| michaelrose | whole disk encryption is normally done via luks, the disadvantage one key to unlock the device, one users files not secure from other users on the same machine | 02:27 |
| michaelrose | but that isn't usually an issue and it has way better performance than a filesystem on top of the real one like encfs | 02:27 |
| django_ | hey all | 02:27 |
| michaelrose | anyway its a HUGE rabbit hole you could spend a lot of time on, in short use luks | 02:28 |
| django_ | for ubuntu xenial do you download Wine with sudo apt-get install -y wine | 02:28 |
| Trinity | Maybe it would help for me to explain what I dont get more clearly. Since data is just 0's and 1's you would save a different set of 0's and 1's if the data is encrypted, so when you enter the passphrase I can only see two options, one the encrypted content is saved into RAM or two the encrypted content is decrypted and rewritten into the filesystem or three passphrase is remembered and decryption is on the fly. All three of these methods don't see | 02:29 |
| Trinity | m really pragmatic so i'm sure theres anotehr. But that's my current dilemma. I'm trying to understand how this is accomplished | 02:29 |
| Trinity | I can only see three options* | 02:29 |
| michaelrose | basically high level things like text editors and video players don't access files by reading raw data from disk | 02:30 |
| crafty1 | django_: yes | 02:30 |
| crafty1 | sudo apt-get install wine will install the metapackage | 02:31 |
| Trinity | michaelrose, could you give me the keyword by which they access raw data from disk so I can do my own research? :) | 02:31 |
| michaelrose | Trinity, coursera had a really good intro to encryption course let me see if its still there | 02:32 |
| michaelrose | https://www.coursera.org/learn/crypto | 02:33 |
| michaelrose | you needn't actually do the class or pay any money | 02:33 |
| michaelrose | just enroll in the class and watch as much as interests you | 02:33 |
| Trinity | thanks michaelrose, could you let me know how high level programs get information from the disk? | 02:33 |
| michaelrose | I really don't understand the low level aspect of it just the impression that a luks device is something like a physical disk saved that the raw data read therein is decrypted using a key | 02:36 |
| michaelrose | your passphrase isn't the key it serves to unlock it | 02:37 |
| michaelrose | essentially a small header contains one or more copies of the key which can be unlocked by one or more passphrases | 02:38 |
| michaelrose | /etc/crypttab contains information about encypted devices, /etc/fstab contains information about filesystems including the forementioned encrpyted ones and how they are mounted | 02:40 |

| madsa | hackerhercules, try running 'dpkg -S /var/lib/update-notifier' which should give you a clue | 03:15 |
| madsa | will at least tell you which package owns that directory | 03:15 |

| hackerhercules | madsa: Just for the fun of knowing, the update notification is called by /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable, which is a function passed to it from an imported compiled python file. Can't change it without a complete recompile. Sad day. | 03:45 |

| gajop | hey, i'm having issues with 14.04 and 16.04, which I thought would be stable (LTS?) | 05:20 |
| gajop | i've setup a new work machine which i plan to use for deep learning stuff, and i'm running into issues with ubuntu; i'd think they're not specific to the hardware but you never know | 05:20 |
| madsa | gajop, what seems to be the problem? | 05:21 |
| gajop | with 16.04 there are even issues during installation: it complains midway that installation fails, but it also finishes, and when i reboot into it and try to login, nothing happens (i assume the installation is only half-way done) | 05:21 |
| gajop | so i gave up on 16.04 seeing as it may still be fairly untested due to being new, and tried 14.04, which i could install at least | 05:22 |
| madsa | have you tried the latest 16.04.1 iso? It's out now | 05:22 |
| gajop | but 14.04 is freezing my system (kernel crash?) from time to time... i often get back to work when i leave it all night to see it restarted, and it sometimes crashes in front of me | 05:22 |
| gajop | right now i'm getting an "internal error" with linux package and a soft lockup of CPU#0 (KernelOops) | 05:23 |
| gajop | madsa: i haven't tried it if it just got released | 05:23 |
| madsa | well if nothing else works that be a good option | 05:23 |
| gajop | what is considered the "most stable" ubuntu platform? i rarely use it on my home desktop but opted for it because i thought it would be fairly guaranteed to work | 05:24 |
| FManTropyx | official releases aren't "untested"... | 05:25 |
| madsa | yep, I think 16.04.1 is most stable right now. I personally haven't had much trouble with it on my laptop | 05:25 |
| gajop | is there a third alternative if neither work for me? how can i even troubleshoot kernel errors? | 05:26 |
| FManTropyx | sounds like your puter is b0rked - have you run something else on it before? | 05:26 |
| madsa | yeah, with a kernel error you'd be best to post a bug on launchpad with the details | 05:26 |
| madsa | hopefully it's not your hardware going bad | 05:27 |
| gajop | FManTropyx: no, as i said i just set it up | 05:27 |
| FManTropyx | a neew computer? | 05:27 |
| gajop | well it's still under guarantee but if i have no way to troubleshoot it.. | 05:27 |
| gajop | correct | 05:27 |
| FManTropyx | ah, maybe run hw diagnostics on it | 05:27 |
| FManTropyx | Ubuntu should really work :) | 05:28 |
| madsa | gajop, what kind of computer is it? specs? | 05:28 |
| gajop | it's an i5 with titan x and 8GB RAM (with 32GB more on the way) | 05:29 |
| gajop | ubuntu's installed on an SSD | 05:29 |
| gajop | and i've got one more HDD for large storage | 05:29 |
| gajop | it's pretty beastly and nvidia should work well -> this doesn't seem related to the GFX anyway | 05:30 |
| Sorch | kernel version? | 05:30 |
| mndar | which package do i have to install to get gstreamer's rtspclientsink ? | 05:30 |
| gajop | idk, newest on 14.04 | 05:30 |
| madsa | gajop, run 'uname -a' on the console | 05:30 |
| mndar | I'm using 16.04 LTS | 05:31 |
| gajop | 4.2.0-42-generic | 05:31 |
| OerHeks | titan X is introduced 3 days ago .. hard to believe you have it already :-D | 05:31 |
| gajop | GeForce GTX Titan X[56]March 17, 2015 | 05:32 |
| Sorch | ;o | 05:32 |
| gajop | not to be confused with: NVIDIA TITAN X[64]August 2, 2016 | 05:33 |
| Sorch | gajop, 12gb of video ram? | 05:35 |
| gajop | yea | 05:36 |
| OerHeks | gajop, i would do a memtest86 run first, to exclude your ram being the culprit | 05:43 |

| gajop | OerHeks: alright, i'll give it a try, any other tests i can run before trying 16.04.1 again or switching to some other distro? | 05:45 |
| OerHeks | after that, run a live iso and try checkbox-qt http://askubuntu.com/questions/389084/system-testing-tool-for-ubuntu or UBcd with testtools | 05:45 |
| OerHeks | as you have issues with both, it does not really matter now, 14.04 or 16.04.1 | 05:46 |
| gajop | the 16.04 (didn't try 16.04.1) issue is completely different though imo | 05:47 |
| gajop | my PC didn't freeze/restart, the installation process got interrupted half way but still gave me the next install wizard option | 05:47 |
| madsa | yeah, hopefully they've made a fix for the installer w/ 16.04.1 | 05:48 |
| madsa | only one way to find out | 05:49 |
| gajop | right, will try that tomorrow probably | 05:49 |
| Kartagis | how do I find out my wifi card's vendor id? | 06:28 |
| EriC^^ | Kartagis: lspci -vvv maybe? | 06:29 |
| OerHeks | Kartagis, depends, lsusb or lspci for usb or pci cards | 06:29 |
| Kartagis | 03:00.0 <--- is this it? | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | i think so | 06:31 |
| Ben64 | no | 06:31 |
| OerHeks | no, it is a 8 digit hexcode , A1B4:C067 or like that | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | try lspci -nv | 06:33 |
| mach20x | So about 24 hours later and still no progress on the reinstallation of Ubuntu | 06:34 |

| afotek | Hello. Is it possible to set up midnight commander to show number of items in a directory? | 06:56 |
| madsa | afotek, don't know... but you can run something like 'ls -1 | wc -l' from the command line to get an item count | 06:57 |
| afotek | madsa, yes, I tried this solution, but it would've been nice if it was able to show it in mini-status for example, like in usual explorer | 07:00 |
| Kartagis | weird though. pcidatabase.com reports different digits for my wifi card EriC^^ | 07:02 |

| nschoe | Hi everyone, I've got lots and lots of "ureadahead:4/stat: Ignored relative path" messages on my Ubuntu server 16.04, and hundreas more of ureqadhead errors. What is it? | 07:08 |
| madsa | nschoe, that's ureadahead, it does caching of files for boot time to speed things up | 07:10 |
| madsa | not sure why you're getting the errors though | 07:11 |
| nschoe | madsa, hum okay. But it is supposed to execute only on reboot, then? | 07:11 |
| nschoe | madsa, I'm asking because we've had a failure around midnight, and all our systems are down. but the serveru itself is up and runnig, I could log in ssh | 07:12 |
| nschoe | So now I'm planing find the needle in the haystack in the syslog, and I see literally hundreas od these lines | 07:12 |
| madsa | well according to the launchpad page, it says that it loads a cronjob to regenerate the cache from time to time | 07:13 |
| madsa | which may be what you're seeing | 07:13 |
| madsa | https://launchpad.net/ureadahead | 07:13 |
| madsa | sorry your systems are down... I feel your pain. I got paged at 2am yesterday because out db server ran out of disk space :) | 07:14 |
| nschoe | madsa, ah thanks for your support | 07:15 |
| nschoe | This is appreciated. We currently don't have a sysadmin anymore, so I'm interim sysadmin. But this is not my job ^^ | 07:16 |
| nschoe | madsa, I would have preferred being paged at 2 a.m. though, because I would have time to do things. Now it's 9 and the demo starts... soon. Of course it's a demo day, you know hos this is. | 07:16 |
| YankDownUnder | nschoe: Just for giggles and grins - has an "fsck" been run on the volume(s) of that server recently? | 07:19 |
| nschoe | YankDownUnder, nope, the server is about a month old | 07:31 |
| nschoe | YankDownUnder, why? You think this may have messed something, OR I should have run one before? | 07:31 |
| YankDownUnder | nschoe: Since you've stated that "things went down" - generally, when I'm faced with issues like that, the first thing I do on linux/unix boxes is to check the filesystems before going back into production...just as a matter of rote...small issues can turn into really huge issues...and I prefer to nip them in the bud quicksmart. | 07:43 |
| nschoe | YankDownUnder, thanks for the tip, I'll be running one then | 07:48 |
| YankDownUnder | nschoe: Good to be paranoid, bro. | 07:48 |
| nschoe | Absolutely. | 07:48 |

| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: no that is usb | 08:01 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: and showsup via ifconfig | 08:02 |
| === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill | ||
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: If you boot this machine without the PCMCIA card in it (the ethernet, I presume), but DO have the USB based wifi plugged in, does that work, or have you tried that as of yet? | 08:02 |
| === Kenrinx is now known as kenrin | ||
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: yeah that is the first thing i tried | 08:03 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: Well, I'd remove the PCMCIA card, and then fire up the network manager and see if that gets you connected to the wifi... | 08:03 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: did i mention there is no gui | 08:04 |
| olf-folks | i am working from tty | 08:04 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: "No GUI" - at all? | 08:04 |

| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: Read this, mate: http://askubuntu.com/questions/461825/connect-to-wifi-from-command-line | 08:06 |
| gajop | OerHeks: it seems the 8GB RAM (probably one of the two 4GB modules) has errors | 08:07 |
| olf-folks | Tin_man: yup | 08:07 |
| gajop | the 32GB seems fine though | 08:07 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: This tells you how to identify wifi networks along with how to use nmcli to connect, my friend. | 08:07 |
| gajop | so uhm, what does one do now? should i assume almost all data (on the HDD/SSD) is corrupted as well? | 08:07 |
| Tin_man | olf can you ssh into it? | 08:08 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: the linke you refer to | 08:09 |

| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: Yersh...? | 08:10 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: So on that "fresh install", you don't have "nmcli"? | 08:10 |
| olf-folks | Tin_man: no i have physicl aceess to a vtty | 08:10 |
| Tin_man | k | 08:10 |
| Tin_man | do you have another wifi usb dongle you can use? | 08:11 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: "ifconfig -a" will list the "devices" that you can connect with...? | 08:11 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: yes and it shows up | 08:11 |
| YankDownUnder | Tin_man: If you want to assist, please do. Two people trying to cook the soup is only going to lead to confusion. | 08:12 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: no | 08:12 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: Can you type: nmcli d wifi list | 08:12 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: it is a part of network-manager which i do not have | 08:12 |
| Tin_man | go for it YankDownUnder .. | 08:12 |
| === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill | ||
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: So that is NOT part of the installation? Was this a "minimal" installation? | 08:13 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: i could type that but it would only me a oh so usefull message "do apt-get install network-namager" | 08:13 |
| \9 | i'd imagine even a minimal installation should come with network-manager... something must have gone wrong | 08:13 |
| YankDownUnder | olf-folks: Right oh...gotcha...right...so here's a question - HOW did you do your install...was it via a liveUSB or something else? | 08:14 |
| ducasse | \9: actually, no. i installed from the server image, and nm is not installed. | 08:14 |
| \9 | oh? that's weird | 08:15 |
| ducasse | olf-folks: just one question - you say wpa_supplicant throws an error - can you be more specific? | 08:15 |
| olf-folks | YankDownUnder: i used plopbootmgr to boot via usb the flashd i dd the ubuntu iso from | 08:15 |
| olf-folks | ducasse: hold on a sec | 08:15 |
| ducasse | \9: not really :) i use /etc/network/interfaces, which is what the installer sets up unless you install a desktop that depends on nm. | 08:15 |

However it seems i might have to shovel things like root etc around. I am a bit unsure how i would approach things right now. sdba is my ssd and sdb a normal harddrive | 08:24 |

| delizin | Hello everyone. I'm trying to use Upstart to keep a server running. However everytime upstart executes the script, either from 'start service' or rebooting the VPS, it starts multiple instances of the server which all interfere with each other. After a few minutes there is normally only one instance running, but it is broken due to a file lock or socket lock. I'm quite new to this and really appreciate any guidance. Thanks. http:// | 08:31 |
| ducasse | olf-folks: "The requested page was not found" | 08:31 |
| olf-folks | ducasse: my bad im typeing the urls out http://www.imgpaste.net/image/KOIjq | 08:32 |
| geirha | delizin: make sure it doesn't background itself | 08:35 |
| ducasse | olf-folks: looks to me like the driver for your chipset is not supported, do you have another adapter you can use? | 08:36 |
| ne2k | I have just done a fresh install of 16.04 desktop (coming from 14.04). I like to use the right Windows key as the compose key, so I have set it as such in Keyboard->Shortcuts. However, it doesn't work, and when I press right-win I just get the "Search your Computer" bar up, same as if I press left-win. any suggestions? | 08:37 |
| delizin | geirha: I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. The script that upstart is executing is just running 3 lines, it deletes a lock file in the server directory incase of a crash, changes directory to the server folder and then starts the server with screen. | 08:38 |
| geirha | delizin: Then upstart can't know it's running. And deleting the lock file unconditionally kind of defeats the purpose of a lock file | 08:40 |
| delizin | geirha: I'm not deleting an upstart lock file. The server has a data folder that has a lock file. Unfortunately it has numerous crashes and doesn't clean up the lock file properly so I need to manually delete it before the server will restart | 08:41 |
| geirha | delizin: but that's the reason why it starts multiple instances | 08:43 |
| ducasse | olf-folks: another possibility, is there an alternative driver for that chipset? | 08:44 |
| delizin | geirha: If I leave the lock file in place, upstart is still starting multiple instances but each process stalls when they see that the lock file exists. Unfortunately this program does not fail gracefully at all so the process continues running even after failing to load. | 08:45 |
| Ben64 | sounds like you need to figure out a better script | 08:46 |
| geirha | delizin: Yeah this application you're trying to start is really fragile, and it's hard to manage it when it doesn't follow common practices | 08:47 |
| geirha | delizin: the reason it starts multiple instances is because upstart has no way of knowing whether the application got started or not. From upstart's perspective, screen started and died immediately. | 08:49 |

| OerHeks | Ben64, you are a genius! | 08:58 |

| jokke | Ben64: ... | 09:00 |
| jokke | Ben64: i specifically mean _that_ package | 09:00 |
| jokke | in _that_ version | 09:00 |
| Ben64 | good luck | 09:00 |

| jokke | oh well | 09:02 |
| jokke | geirha: 6.8 has a weird bug with borders | 09:02 |
| ducasse | jokke: file a request for a backport. | 09:02 |
| alkisg | Or ask for a bug SRU | 09:02 |
| ne2k | I'm not sure which package to file this bug against. Super R cannot be mapped as Compose key; it is grabbed by the "Search computer" panel thing | 09:03 |

| ayogi | geirha, I feel my server is being attacked and i want to see what someelse is doing | 09:08 |
| alkisg | ayogi: did he use a specific user id to login? Do you know which user id? | 09:09 |

| EriC^^ | jokke: it'll install to /usr/local so it won't touch any repo related files | 09:14 |
| jokke | so dpkg-buildpackage should be just run without params inside of the source dir? | 09:14 |
| EriC^^ | jokke: you can just make uninstall or manually delete the files it has in /usr/local/.. | 09:15 |

| jokke | ducasse: can i somehow skip the processing of the changelog? | 09:18 |
| EriC^^ | jokke: check the Install-unix readme at the build section, you can pass ./configure --prefix=/path/to/imagemagick to install it under that dir | 09:18 |
| alkisg | ayogi: it's best not to have a password at all, i.e. to not allow root logins at all, like ubuntu does by default | 09:18 |
| jokke | ducasse: since there isn't one that's formatted like dpkg-buildpackage expects it.. | 09:18 |
| alkisg | ayogi: to kick him, just kill his sshd process | 09:18 |
| ayogi | alkisg, how to disable root login... and before that i need to create a user and give him sudo privileges | 09:20 |
| alkisg | jokke: that package is in experimental, i.e. "That means it is likely unstable or buggy, and it may even cause data loss." I would wait until it goes in unstable, at least. | 09:20 |
| alkisg | ayogi: which ubuntu version are you running? All those things are set by default... | 09:20 |
| ayogi | alkisg, 14.04 | 09:21 |
| alkisg | ayogi: what does this say: getent group sudo | 09:21 |
| OerHeks | disable root login and create another root login ..?? | 09:21 |
| jokke | alkisg: it's fine | 09:21 |
| ayogi | alkisg, sudo:x:27: | 09:21 |
| * OerHeks facepalm | 09:21 | |
| jokke | i use it on arch just fine | 09:21 |
| alkisg | ayogi: ok, then create a user and put him in the sudo group | 09:22 |
| alkisg | jokke: *packaging* experimental, not upstream | 09:22 |
| alkisg | You'll be using the experimental packaging, which might be broken | 09:22 |
| jokke | mh ok | 09:22 |
| alkisg | experimental is just that, for experiments | 09:22 |
| jokke | well this is an experiment | 09:22 |
| alkisg | When debian devs are comfortable with their packaging, they put it in unstable | 09:22 |
| ayogi | alkisg, do you know how to generate a strong password in ubuntu using mkpasswd or something | 09:23 |
| alkisg | If you don't care if data loss happens in your system, you might also just try to install the .debs from debian, if their dependencies are satisfieable | 09:23 |
| alkisg | ayogi: no, I'm using a graphical utility for that, keepassx | 09:23 |
| jokke | screw it, i'll just ./configure && make && make install | 09:24 |
| EriC^^ | jokke: it didn't work here | 09:24 |
| jokke | EriC^^: :/ | 09:24 |
| jokke | why? | 09:24 |

| EriC^^ | jokke: yup the dir isn't there | 09:31 |
| k1l | fergal_: 10.04 reached its end of life already- | 09:31 |
| fergal_ | k1l: yes, but i am doing some investigation on an old vm in work | 09:32 |
| OerHeks | fergal_, ' uname -a ' will tell you | 09:32 |
| fergal_ | OerHeks: i can’t boot the vm because provisioning it fails, and i think it might be an issue related to the kernel version, i was just wondering if there was an easy way to find out such specs without needing access to an actual vm | 09:33 |
| alkisg | fergal_: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+package/linux-image-generic | 09:34 |
| alkisg | fergal_: you can also just mount its disk and look at /boot | 09:34 |
| alkisg | Or at /lib/modules | 09:34 |
| k1l | 2.6.32 is the kernel | 09:34 |

| ItsMeLenny | whos brilliant idea was it to remove the shutdown menu from the login screen? | 09:50 |
| k1l | ItsMeLenny: it is not removed | 09:51 |
| ItsMeLenny | k1l, where did mine go? | 09:52 |
| ItsMeLenny | one day it was there the next it wasnt, top right corner | 09:52 |
| k1l | what displaymanager is it? lightdm? | 09:52 |
| ItsMeLenny | yes | 09:53 |
| ItsMeLenny | the default ubuntu one | 09:53 |
| EriC^^ | ItsMeLenny: i can confirm, if i try to switch accounts it's not there | 09:54 |
| k1l | try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm" | 09:55 |
| EriC^^ | don't know if it happens if i logout or fresh boot though | 09:55 |
| ItsMeLenny | EriC^^, happens to me on logout, before login, on switch user, its completely gone | 09:55 |
| OerHeks | ItsMeLenny, what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-del ? | 09:56 |
| k1l | EriC^^: i just did a shutdown without first logging in yesterday. so on boot it works. IMHO its just blocking shutdown if there is a logged in session | 09:56 |
| ItsMeLenny | and i need it becayse when i press shutdown in cinnamon all it does it popup with a dialog to cancel with no shutdown button in it, which is even more genius, so i have to log out and shutdown | 09:56 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: aha | 09:56 |
| ItsMeLenny | k1l, i always log out to shutdown and its no longer there, it used to be | 09:56 |
| EriC^^ | k1l: that would make sense | 09:56 |
| EriC^^ | let me test it real quick | 09:57 |
| ItsMeLenny | it wouldnt be a problem if cinnamon had an actual shutdown button | 09:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | wb | 09:58 |
| EriC^^ | when i logout it's not there either | 09:58 |
| EriC^^ | ty | 09:58 |
| EriC^^ | i just have the accessibility menu | 09:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | EriC^^, same | 09:58 |
| OerHeks | when logged out, what happens if you hit ctrl-alt-del ? | 09:58 |
| ItsMeLenny | OerHeks, i get a cancel, switchuser, logout dialog | 09:59 |
| EriC^^ | maybe it's a bug | 10:00 |
| EriC^^ | lightdm was upgraded on july 15 for me | 10:00 |
| ItsMeLenny | EriC^^, thats probably about when it happened | 10:01 |
| ItsMeLenny | allegedly ctrl+alt+end is shutdown on my computer, i'll try it later, but im somewhat not optimistic | 10:01 |

| Laibsch | Hello, I have memory issues with Firefox and according to the Mozilla devs this is a problem only present in 32 bit version. Can i run 64 bit FF in 32 bit Ubuntu? | 10:37 |
| ShotokanZH | Laibsch, just nope. | 10:39 |
| Hounddog | Hi, i am just reinstalling and need a dualboot windows/ubuntu. i have a 120gb ssd and 3tb harddrive and wondering how to partition this properly | 10:40 |
| Hounddog | i was actually running out of space on ubuntu as my logs where blowing up and docker images using a lot of space | 10:41 |
| Laibsch | Hounddog: that is really up to you. You could have the OS /, /usr, /var on the SSD and /home on the HD. | 10:43 |
| Laibsch | You could also combine the two disks to form a single btrfs array. | 10:43 |
| Laibsch | many possibilities | 10:43 |
| Hounddog | i was even thinking of having /var on the hdd | 10:44 |
| Laibsch | I like to have above mentioned directories on separate partitions and have lately been using btrfs subvolumes for that purpose | 10:44 |
| Hounddog | well if i combine them i can still have the dualboot? | 10:44 |
| Laibsch | absolutely | 10:44 |
| Hounddog | i have been working on ubuntu for a while but coming to this stuff i am lost... | 10:45 |
| Laibsch | /boot is ext2 here, mounted read-only, the other partitions are btrfs | 10:45 |
| Hounddog | windows is just still here for gaming :p | 10:45 |
| Laibsch | the good thing about btrfs and subvolumens is the ability to be flexible in the future. The downside that I experienced is that btrfs is terrible in situations where the partition is close to full. | 10:46 |
| Hounddog | well anyway, i just deleted all partitions so i am able to start from scratch | 10:46 |
| Hounddog | however if i combine, how would i know where the ssd and where the normal harddisk is? | 10:47 |
| Hounddog | sorry for the stupid questions | 10:47 |
| Laibsch | why would you need to know? | 10:47 |
| Hounddog | cause the ssd is faster | 10:48 |
| Laibsch | btrfs can combine several devices into one "larger device" | 10:48 |
| Hounddog | sure, but i woukld want to run certain things on the faster harddrive | 10:48 |
| Hounddog | if i just "combine" i understand that i have a "single" harddrive then | 10:49 |
| === fadavi1 is now known as fadavi | ||
| Laibsch | I already said what I would do: put /, /boot, /var and /usr on SSD and /home on HD | 10:49 |
| Hounddog | i had that already and ran constantly out of space | 10:50 |
| Laibsch | where? | 10:50 |
| Hounddog | on "/" and var | 10:50 |
| Hounddog | so var i would propably also move to hdd | 10:51 |
| Laibsch | how big was your var? | 10:51 |
| Hounddog | at total i gave some 26gb to ubuntu on the ssd | 10:51 |
| Hounddog | dont remember the var size now | 10:52 |
| Laibsch | seriously, I wouldn't worry that much | 10:52 |
| Hounddog | hmmm | 10:52 |
| Laibsch | your SSD is faster, but all this planning won't gain you THAT much | 10:53 |
| Laibsch | and you can always move things later | 10:53 |
| Hounddog | its not about gaining i just dont want the system screaming at me again that / is full | 10:53 |
| Hounddog | anyway, guess i should first install windows | 10:55 |
| === fadavi1 is now known as fadavi | ||
| Laibsch | I thought it was /var that's full ;-) | 10:57 |
| Hounddog | both | 10:57 |
| Laibsch | anyhow, let's say you were to put /, /var and /usr on their OWN btrfs partition | 10:57 |
| Hounddog | they are regularly alternating | 10:57 |
| FManTropyx | if you install Windows, why do you even need Ubuntu? :) | 10:58 |
| Laibsch | now it becomes full, you could then simply add more space to it (even temporarily from a USB stick) by "sudo btrfs device add /dev/sdX1 /var" after which you could even remove the partition on the SSD from the array and live migrate /var to the HD while the system is running. | 10:59 |
| Laibsch | btrfs has some awesome tricks like this. | 10:59 |
| Hounddog | FManTropyx: is this a serious question? have u ever tried developing under windows? | 10:59 |
| Laibsch | don't feed the trolls, Hounddog | 10:59 |
| ppq` | hi. i have a problem with ubuntu server 16.04 (headless setup). the box i installed it on will only boot when there is a display connected. if not it won't boot (can't ping it). what could be the problem? | 11:00 |
| Hounddog | Laibsch: even during runtime? thats neat | 11:00 |
| FManTropyx | yeah, and I plan to again... what are you developing? | 11:00 |
| Laibsch | Hounddog: yes, while the system is running | 11:00 |
| Laibsch | no need to power down | 11:00 |
| Hounddog | Laibsch: then i should check on how i would utilize this. i am guessing that windows would still live in its ntfs or also the btrfs? | 11:01 |
| Laibsch | windows should have it's own separate partition | 11:02 |
| Laibsch | I have not touched windows in more than a decade, but I do not think windows has btrfs | 11:02 |
| Hounddog | i mean basically i just need the boot partition for windows and i have some 1.5 tb partition on the hd and the rest would then just be btrfs? | 11:02 |
| Laibsch | Hounddog: don't overpartition. With btrfs you can have a subvolume act like a partition of sorts and not have to worry about / having too little space while /usr still has plenty | 11:03 |
| Hounddog | nah i just mean like on the ssd 80gb for windows and another 1.5tb on the hdd rest is ubuntu | 11:04 |
| Laibsch | the Ubuntu installer will take care of using subvolumes if you choose to install to btrfs | 11:04 |
| Laibsch | why be so generous with Windows? still such a hog? ;-) | 11:04 |
| Hounddog | yes... | 11:04 |
| Laibsch | anyhow, just go ahead and do it, the system is flexible | 11:05 |
| Hounddog | even though i put all games on another partition i had it still eating away some 60gb | 11:05 |
| Laibsch | I'd have the remaining free space on the HD as one partition (leave 1G for unplanned things) and the same for the HD. | 11:05 |
| Laibsch | you COULD combine the SSD btrfs and HD btrfs but I am not sure I would do that | 11:06 |
| Laibsch | it's really up to you | 11:06 |

| rightshift | Any idea when 16.04 will be fixed? | 13:09 |
| rightshift | wrong channel :P | 13:09 |
| DJones | rightshift: In what way fixed? | 13:09 |
| rightshift | Was meant for the CloudStack channel | 13:10 |
| DJones | No worries | 13:10 |
| rightshift | as the Ubuntu 16.04 CloudStack template doesn't work due to the way the NIC name has changed | 13:10 |
| rightshift | from eth0 to ens3 | 13:10 |
| rightshift | in KVM | 13:10 |
| rightshift | so it breaks a bunch of stuff | 13:10 |
| atralhea- | hi | 13:10 |
| atralhea- | guys, I screwed my system with installing compiz... is there any way to turn everything back? | 13:11 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: which de do you use? | 13:12 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: unity, 16.04 | 13:12 |
| EriC^^ | compiz is already installed, what do you mean by installing compiz? | 13:12 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: yes, I meant compiz config setting manager | 13:13 |
| atralhea- | and plugins | 13:13 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: try dconf reset -f /org/compiz | 13:13 |
| atralhea- | I just want the default setting | 13:13 |
| EriC^^ | or rm -r ~/.config/compiz-1 | 13:14 |
| atralhea- | with sudo? | 13:14 |
| EriC^^ | no | 13:14 |
| atralhea- | pl | 13:14 |
| atralhea- | ok | 13:14 |
| EriC^^ | it's just a user config issue | 13:14 |
| EriC^^ | if you create another user, or use the guest they should still work fine | 13:14 |
| atralhea- | I did, should I notice anything? because it just ran, nothing happened that I notice now | 13:15 |
| atralhea- | let me try the second command | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: try logging out and back in | 13:16 |
| atralhea- | ok, wait | 13:17 |
| Phrygian | h | 13:17 |
| Phrygian | hi | 13:17 |
| EriC^^ | hi | 13:17 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: I think it solved | 13:19 |
| Phrygian | I've just purchased an ubuntu server to run a server for a game, but I'm having some issues. I have to run one node js program followed by another, but the first program takes up the console so when i run a command it goes straight into the first program instead of the terminal. How do i avoid this? | 13:19 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: great :) | 13:19 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: if I noticed weird problems again, I will come here! | 13:19 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: ok :) | 13:19 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: the problem I had that led me to installing that, was that I wanted alt+tab not to group windows! is there any way to do that? | 13:20 |
| muftware | can anyone help me with grub? | 13:20 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: no idea about that | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: there's alt+` in case it's helpful | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | it spreads them for the same group | 13:21 |
| Phrygian | do you have any idea how i can fix that? | 13:21 |
| EriC^^ | muftware: what's the problem? | 13:21 |
| cfhowlett | !server | Phrygian | 13:21 |
| ubottu | Phrygian: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications. Current !LTS version is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1) - More info: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition - Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide - Support in #ubuntu-server | 13:21 |
| Phrygian | #ubuntu-server | 13:22 |
| Phrygian | crap lol | 13:22 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: I didn't know that, thats better than nothing! but I think there must be an option to prevent grouping windows in alt + tab switching, if you can tell developers, tell it to them! thanks:) | 13:23 |
| muftware | Eric^^: actually I was doing some work a new kernel. But something happened while installing it(may b) that now grub is not showing me an option for windows which is installed on my hd | 13:23 |
| muftware | So can I just change grub config file, and add an option of windows? | 13:25 |
| XL_POUTINE | boot to a live ubuntu cd and run grub repair | 13:26 |
| XL_POUTINE | it should detect the windows partition and fix the boot loader | 13:26 |
| EriC^^ | muftware: try sudo update-grub | 13:27 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: http://askubuntu.com/questions/84880/how-can-i-make-alt-tab-browse-through-all-my-windows-without-grouping-them/512640#512640 | 13:27 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: that's exactly how it happened! | 13:28 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: did you let it resolve the conflict? | 13:29 |
| atralhea- | yes | 13:29 |
| EriC^^ | it needs to disable the reverse switcher thingy | 13:29 |
| atralhea- | I disabled it | 13:29 |
| atralhea- | that was ok, it worked | 13:29 |
| muftware | Eric^^: Thanks man, it just worked! | 13:29 |
| EriC^^ | hmm let me try it here, maximum i can reset it | 13:29 |
| atralhea- | but other weired problem happened | 13:29 |
| EriC^^ | muftware: great, no problem! | 13:29 |
| atralhea- | like I couldn't select a window | 13:30 |
| EriC^^ | i chose it and pressed the right button for all the questions | 13:30 |
| EriC^^ | it works it seems | 13:31 |
| EriC^^ | it's a little confusing though cause it's transparent | 13:31 |
| atralhea- | it does work, that wasn't the problem, it just had some side effects! | 13:31 |
| EriC^^ | it's working very nicely here | 13:32 |
| sdexter | I am running 14.04.4 LTS, and though I appear to apache set to start at boot. It doesn't | 13:32 |
| sdexter | Doing 'update-rc.d apache2 defaults' says the links are already in place | 13:32 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: maybe it's other settings were making the conflict? | 13:32 |
| atralhea- | but I also carefully checked out other settings, so what happened to me was because of them | 13:32 |
| sdexter | but I can manually start after boot. | 13:33 |
| EriC^^ | update-rc.d apache2 enable maybe? | 13:33 |
| EriC^^ | sdexter: ^ | 13:34 |
| sdexter | update-rc.d: warning: start runlevel arguments (none) do not match apache2 Default-Start values (2 3 4 5) update-rc.d: warning: stop runlevel arguments (none) do not match apache2 Default-Stop values (0 1 6) | 13:35 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: ring shifter is kind of neat, compiz has so many stuff O.O | 13:36 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: yes, I tweaked other things too, and one of them caused that weired problems, I was just scared of compiz setting manager :)) | 13:37 |
| atralhea- | EriC^^: I set the alt + tab function in compiz again, working fine, I wont touch anything else! thank you :) | 13:38 |
| sdexter | But it looks like it did the job. Thanks | 13:38 |
| atralhea- | btw, how can I find the command for lunching an app that its icon is on the left bar? | 13:38 |
| sdexter | Opps no, was looking at wrong machine. Still doesn't start | 13:39 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: super + number | 13:39 |
| EriC^^ | atralhea-: holding super shows the list of numbers | 13:40 |

| skinux | To my understanding 16.04.1 is released for new installs, but not for upgrading yet...correct? | 14:22 |
| mcphail | skinux: you can upgrade from 15.10, but not 14.04 (yet) | 14:23 |
| skinux | k | 14:23 |
| skinux | Seems like I could just upgrade to 15.04, 15.10, then to 16.04.1 | 14:24 |
| mcphail | skinux: that isn't easy, as most of those released are EOL'd | 14:25 |
| skinux | Yeah | 14:25 |
| mcphail | skinux: alternative would be to do a new install of 16.04 | 14:26 |
| skinux | Yeah, not doing that | 14:26 |
| mcphail | skinux: if you wait a few days, I expect you'll be able to go straight to 16.04 from 14.04 | 14:27 |
| skinux | Yeah. | 14:27 |
| skinux | I'm just tired of waiting. | 14:27 |
| skinux | I'm on an LTS version, but they left this version out when releasing the new LTS | 14:28 |

| sdexter | I am installing Ubuntu 14.04 on a root partition that is on a software raid setup (RAID1 just two drives) and it fails at the 'Install the GRUB boot loader' part | 15:00 |
| sdexter | 'Executing grub-install /dev/sdk' failed.' /dev/sdk is one of the drives in the software raid pair | 15:01 |
| ikonia | software raid or fake raid | 15:01 |
| sdexter | I created it during the install process, not sure which that is | 15:02 |
| ikonia | ok - should be proper software raid then | 15:02 |
| ikonia | raid 1 should be fine | 15:02 |

| f3ngt1ng | hello everybody | 15:03 |
| atralhea- | where can I ask questions about software licenses? | 15:03 |
| ikonia | atralhea-: ask the person who owns the product/license | 15:04 |
| atralhea- | no, the general idea I mean | 15:04 |
| SchrodingersScat | atralhea-: https://tldrlegal.com/ there's this | 15:04 |
| voyager_ | q all | 15:04 |
| atralhea- | I want to know about them for myself, my codes | 15:04 |
| ikonia | atralhea-: ask the people who own the licenses, | 15:05 |
| ikonia | eg: GPL, email the gnu license team | 15:05 |
| ikonia | Apache, the apache foundation | 15:05 |
| ikonia | etc etc | 15:05 |

| madsa | atralhea-: this should be a big help to you --> https://tldrlegal.com/ | 15:05 |
| sdexter | ikonia: the raid setup seemed to go fine, it's the grub installation that seems to fail | 15:06 |
| atralhea- | madsa: im reading it :) | 15:06 |
| ikonia | sdexter: that really surprises me, (I see the error) but raid 1 should be fine to the physical devices | 15:06 |
| ikonia | sdexter: never seen it fail like that | 15:06 |
| ikonia | sdexter: are you %101 sure it was raid 1 ? | 15:06 |
| sdexter | I am going to try again. | 15:07 |
| ikonia | sdexter: not doubting you, but that senario should be fine, so it's worth being certain | 15:07 |
| sdexter | ikonia: no worries....fresh install, so not much to 'lose' at this point | 15:08 |
| ikonia | sdexter: certainly worth checking, but I'd be suprised if it was a legit bug, but not impossible | 15:09 |

| JakesDen | Hi, i have a img file what i need to add some files to, i extracted it to a folder and added the files to that now ho to i create a img file with all the files inside the folder in it with ext4 file system | 15:10 |
| ikonia | JakesDen: you need to know what format the image file was before you can recreate it | 15:11 |
| JakesDen | how do i find out? | 15:11 |
| ikonia | run file against the image | 15:12 |
| JakesDen | how> | 15:12 |
| JakesDen | can i write it to a usb and see what file system it is | 15:13 |
| sdexter | ikonia: I am installing to /dev/md127 shouldn't grub be trying to install there, not to the members of the RAID1 setup? | 15:13 |

| MaxFrames | hi | 15:13 |
| MaxFrames | I am on lubuntu and wanted to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 so I asked in #lubuntu and got bad advice, now the "software updates" app has problems | 15:14 |
| JakesDen | how do i make a img with all the files in a folder in it | 15:15 |
| MaxFrames | I was told to type "sudo do-release-upgrade" in the terminal, but there were many "err" entries when it started, so as soon as it stopped for input (press enter to continue) I pressed ctrl+c and stopped it | 15:15 |
| MaxFrames | now if I run software updates it hangs | 15:15 |
| MaxFrames | I think it has updated the repositories to point at the new version | 15:15 |
| JakesDen | MaxFrames, tried doing sudo dpkg --reconfigure packagename | 15:16 |
| MaxFrames | how to check, how to restore? (the repositories for 14.04)? | 15:16 |
| MaxFrames | what packagename | 15:16 |
| JakesDen | type luuntu-soft and press tab and you might see it | 15:17 |
| tgm4883 | MaxFrames: well that isn't bad advice. Can you post the output of 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list | tc termbin.com 9999' | 15:17 |
| MaxFrames | it was bad advice because it set the repositories for 15.10 | 15:17 |
| MaxFrames | I do not want 15.10 | 15:17 |
| JakesDen | you might just have to revert your sources | 15:17 |
| MaxFrames | I need to set the repos back to 14.04 | 15:17 |
| MaxFrames | JakesDen: that is what I need to do, yes | 15:17 |

| tgm4883 | MaxFrames: ok, so if the first step was just setting everything to wily, you'll just need to edit your sources.list file and change wily back to trusty. Then do the same for the .list file in the sources.list.d directory | 15:24 |
| tgm4883 | Ascavasaion: yes | 15:24 |
| tgm4883 | Ascavasaion: it's just a web page, nothing special | 15:24 |
| Ascavasaion | tgm4883: Awesome, thank you. | 15:24 |
| MaxFrames | tgm4883: the files in the sources.list.d directory say "trusty" | 15:25 |
| Ascavasaion | tgm4883: | 15:25 |
| tgm4883 | MaxFrames: ok, so then only change your sources.list file | 15:25 |
| Ascavasaion | tgm4883: Oh, thank you... I was under the impression it was some or other syncing thing for Office documents. | 15:25 |
| tgm4883 | Ascavasaion: well that part exists too in the office apps if you install them locally | 15:25 |
| MaxFrames | tgm4883: with any text editor? do I just replace the "wily" word with "trusty" for all the entries? | 15:26 |
| MaxFrames | I am no expert... | 15:26 |
| Hounddog | i was wold to use btrfs for simplicity earlier how should i now install /boot /var and such on a 50gb should i partition those? | 15:26 |
| tgm4883 | MaxFrames: yes, although you'll need root access to do so. Generally I'd recommend nano for the job | 15:26 |
| MaxFrames | can't I also edit the sources in the software updates app? they are all listed there and there is an edit button | 15:27 |
| MaxFrames | what is the path of sources.list? | 15:27 |
| MaxFrames | and is it enough to sudo to edit it? | 15:27 |
| EriC^^ | /etc/apt/sources.list | 15:27 |
| tgm4883 | MaxFrames: you can try from the software updates app | 15:27 |
| tgm4883 | I've not tried that | 15:28 |
| ducasse | MaxFrames: "sudo sed -ir 's/wily/trusty/g' /etc/apt/sources.list" | 15:28 |
| tonyt | is it possible to do a upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 yet? | 15:29 |

| EriC^^ | not yet | 15:29 |

| ducasse | JakesDen: how big a file do you need? | 15:47 |
| JakesDen | 1.75 gb | 15:47 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: 'truncate --size=1750M myimagefile' | 15:48 |
| Hounddog | Could someone help do a fresh install with btrfs? i am somehow lost here :/ | 15:48 |
| Hounddog | not sure how i should assign the partitions | 15:48 |
| JakesDen | done | 15:50 |
| JakesDen | now what | 15:50 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: which fs - ext4? | 15:50 |
| JakesDen | ext 4 | 15:50 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: 'mkfs.ext4 myimagefile' | 15:51 |
| JakesDen | done | 15:51 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: 'sudo mount -o loop myimagefile /mnt' | 15:51 |
| JakesDen | done | 15:52 |
| sdexter | Anyone ever had issues when creating a software RAID, where after creating the partitions to use and going to 'Create MD device' the raid partitions are not listed? | 15:52 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: now just copy what you want into /mnt, and umount when done. finished :) | 15:52 |
| Hounddog | i just selected something else instead of the default installation... now i am stuck on how i would continue on a btrfs installation. | 15:52 |
| JakesDen | how do i unmount | 15:53 |
| ducasse | JakesDen: 'sudo umount /mnt' | 15:53 |
| neldogz | Does anyone know what is the difference between linux-signed-image-4.4.0-31-lowlatency and linux-image-4.4.0-31-lowlatency | 15:53 |
| neldogz | Looks like This version of it is signed with | 15:54 |
| neldogz | Canonical's UEFI signing key. | 15:54 |
| Hounddog | di i place boot also on to the btrfs? | 15:54 |
| Hounddog | do i place boot also on to the btrfs? | 15:55 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: multiple devices or single disk? | 15:55 |
| Hounddog | i have 2 harddisks | 15:55 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: yes, but does the btrfs span both of them, or is it in a partition? | 15:56 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i have 1 ssd and 1 hd on the ssd i have now windows installed and have 45gb for ubuntu on the hd i have some 900gb for ubuntu | 15:56 |
| Hounddog | i have not partitioned it yet | 15:56 |
| Hounddog | its still unallocated | 15:56 |
| Hounddog | i am a bit unsure how to start this | 15:57 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: in that case i would put everything in one partition. do you have a special reason for using btrfs? | 15:57 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i had problems of running out of space on an earlier install and laibsch suggested to me to use btrfs as i could shovel things around during runtme and would be easier apparently | 15:58 |
| curlyears | I am mystified. My motherboard BIOS offer an EFI (*NOT* UEFI, EFI) option, that, as I understand thwe comment sin the BIOS option screen, only affects how you boot from the CD/DVD | 15:58 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: it was also suggested however to keep ssd and hd seperated | 15:59 |
| Hounddog | at this point... i just need a running system again ./ | 15:59 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: i like btrfs, don't get me wrong, but unless you are using the system for lxc/lxd or need snapshots/subvols, i would advice you to go with ext4. it's more stable and can still be resized. | 16:00 |
| curlyears | but if it's set to EFI (as opposed to being disabled or set to "Auto") it totally screws up attempts to install, with my 3TB HDDs install. If I unplug the 3TB drives, everything works smoothly. WHY? | 16:00 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i use a lot of docker images... | 16:00 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: your choice. if docker can leverage btrfs, that might be a reason. | 16:01 |
| Hounddog | not really sure about that right now... so one says use ext4 next says use btrfs and everyone says its my choice and i have no clue what benefits me | 16:01 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: what i'm saying is that unless you know you need btrfs, i would use ext4. | 16:02 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i dont know what i need | 16:03 |
| Hounddog | ..... | 16:03 |
| tatertots | when in doubt use ext4 | 16:03 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: what are the benfits of btrfs against ext4? | 16:03 |
| tatertots | you're in doubt | 16:03 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: snapshots/subvolumes, deduplication, multiple devices support etc. see the btrfs wiki for details. but performance is generally worse than ext4. | 16:04 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: and btrfs is quite new, some consider it stable, others don't. | 16:05 |
| Hounddog | ok, then lets put it this way if i was to use ext4. i had problems earlier with / and /var running full i have a 45gb ssd and 800gb hd for linux ready. any suggestions on partitioning? | 16:06 |
| k1l | Hounddog: when you dont know why you want to use btrfs and know the risks, then use ext4. because that is the standard ubuntu filesystem | 16:06 |
| ducasse | k1l: +1 | 16:06 |
| Hounddog | if i let the system do it automagically i get a weird partitioning | 16:07 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: put / on the smaller disk, then put /var and home etc on the bigger. | 16:07 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: /home, that is. | 16:08 |
| k1l | Hounddog: is that a server? | 16:08 |
| Hounddog | k1l: no its a workstation with dualboot windows/ubuntu | 16:09 |
| k1l | Hounddog: so /var was running full because of errormessages in the logs? | 16:09 |
| Hounddog | var/lib cause of docker images | 16:10 |
| Hounddog | k1l: ^^ | 16:11 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: the smaller disk is ssd, right? i'd prefer to have / there, to speed up the system. | 16:12 |
| Hounddog | ducasse yes | 16:12 |
| ilinka | Hello | 16:12 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: how much space do you need for docker images? | 16:12 |
| ilinka | I want it https://github.com/patrickhaller/no-wm | 16:13 |
| Hounddog | ducasse not sure... but i would prefer moving them on to the 800gb hd anyway | 16:13 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: no idea? like, 10g or 500g? | 16:13 |
| k1l | Hounddog: you could put the docker folder to a folder on that hdd: https://forums.docker.com/t/how-do-i-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory/1169 | 16:14 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i need a lot of images cause it is of some 10 different versions of the app which also has different versions plugins and so on | 16:15 |
| ilinka | I want it https://github.com/patrickhaller/no-wm | 16:15 |
| Hounddog | so yeah i hit 100gb of images already | 16:15 |
| Hounddog | what i am concerned of right now i need to create /boot /swap / /home /var | 16:16 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest75360 | ||
| k1l | Hounddog: why that? | 16:16 |
| Hounddog | k1l: so i can put /var and /home on the hd | 16:17 |
| k1l | Hounddog: why /boot and why /var? you can set your docker folder in /var/lib to whereever you want. | 16:17 |
| Hounddog | k1l: great, but i want to install ubuntu right now so i dont need the live usb stick anymore | 16:18 |
| k1l | either you tell docker to ue another folder or you symlink that folder. its explained in the link i posted | 16:18 |
| Hounddog | k1l: right now i am not concerned with the docker images, first i need an operating system | 16:18 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: put / on the ssd, /home on the hdd. | 16:18 |
| mcphail | Hounddog: looks as if you have 4 options. (1) lots of little partitions (as you have suggested). (2) btrfs across both disks (3) symlink or bind mount the large directories from your HDD (4) use bcache and be happy | 16:19 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: dont i have to create the /boot also? | 16:19 |
| k1l | Hounddog: then make those partitions and set them to be mounted as needed in the installer. i dont know what you are waiting for now or what you are asking for now if you know what to do | 16:19 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: why do you need a separate /boot? | 16:19 |
| Hounddog | ducasse: i thought i need it so the system can boot | 16:19 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: unless you're doing fde, no. /boot can live on /. | 16:20 |
| k1l | Hounddog: no. a seperate /boot is not needed on the standard setup. | 16:20 |
| Hounddog | so all i need on ssd is th swap and / | 16:20 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: right. | 16:20 |
| k1l | but honestly: i wouldnt put /swap on a ssd. because that will make a lot of load to the ssd that will make it age very fast | 16:21 |
| ducasse | if you actually _use_ swap regularly, then possibly. | 16:22 |
| k1l | this sounds like he will use the swap with loading several docker thingies. | 16:23 |
| Hounddog | might be | 16:24 |
| Hounddog | have 16gb of ram but ... | 16:24 |
| Zteam | Hi all! | 16:24 |
| ducasse | Hounddog: k1l has a point, if you think swap will be actively used, put it on the ssd. none of my systems ever touch it, though. | 16:25 |
| ducasse | hdd, sorry. | 16:25 |
| Hounddog | well either way it shouldnt hurt on the hd then | 16:26 |
| Zteam | I recently got a problem booting my full disc encrypted Ubuntu 15.10 machine these days, it complains that it can\t open the LVM, however if I boot from a USB stick I\m able to read all my files without any problems at all | 16:26 |
| === Nach0z_ is now known as Nach0z | ||
| Zteam | any easy for that | 16:27 |
| mcphail | Hounddog: you might want to have a read about bcache. I have 2 systems with large HDDs and small SSDs, running as bcache devices. They have been fast and reliable for me, despite lots of abuse with powercuts and a dodgy motherboard. It isn't trivial to set up, but may be worth the effort | 16:28 |
| Hounddog | mcphail: i will give it a read | 16:29 |

| delizin | Hey all. I have a VPS that I setup years ago and I am having trouble with the firewall. I am using UFW and have opened the desired port. Yesterday everything was working and then last night the server restarted and now I can't get any connections to the incoming port.

| Schwarzbaer | Hi. I'm on 14.04.4, and, to my knowledge, an upgrade path to 16.04.01 should have been released on the 21st. do-release-upgrade -c says that no new release is available. What's going on? | 16:52 |

| Schwarzbaer | Thanks. | 16:53 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: and what graphics card and driver are you using? | 16:54 |

| hotmedal | mcphail: no dedicated graphics card | 16:55 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: and are you looking to bring up the tv on boot? | 16:55 |
| hotmedal | no, just a simple script would be good. To use when I want | 16:55 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: I used to use the guide here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_mode_setting#Forcing_modes_and_EDID to get my desktop to behave with my TV over HDMI, but I don't think there is a built-in EDID blob for your resolution | 16:56 |

| hotmedal | mcphail: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI can I do this? | 16:58 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: yep. Have you tried using cvt and xrandr to force resolution? | 16:58 |
| hotmedal | mcphail: I was afraid that I would end up applying those to my leptop display. | 16:59 |
| maszlo | I have a lenovo T450s with an intel audio chip (Broadwell-U Audio Controller). I get some pop / crackly sounds at boot right around where login screen appears. There was some fix that have done where messed with the pulseaudio config but cannot seem to remember where this was. anyone have any insight on this? | 17:00 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: no - you can specify the display on the xrandr command line | 17:00 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions | 17:00 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: it is all temporary anyway | 17:00 |
| hotmedal | mcphail: I thought the gui used xrandr? It the display doesn't actually appear anywhere | 17:01 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: yes, but you may need to add a modeline for your undetected resolution. Have a look at that link | 17:02 |
| mcphail | hotmedal: that is where cvt comes in | 17:02 |

| samtu92 | I'm new to linux. I want to make it so I can call a bash script from anywhere simply by typing the name of it, is that possible? | 17:26 |
| samtu92 | (I want to make it global, pretty much) | 17:26 |
| emetsipe | samtu92: create an alias that calls the script | 17:26 |
| ducasse | samtu92: put it somewhere in your path. | 17:27 |
| non | hey, a quick question: i've installed 16.04 on my pc, alongside with windows 10. now, i don't need windows anymore, so is there a way to a) do now disk encryption or b) save my settings, programms, repos, etc. to not do this all again when clean reinstalling ubuntu? thx in advance! | 17:27 |
| tgm4883 | samtu92: is adding ./ to the beginning of it too much work? | 17:27 |
| samtu92 | emetsnipe ducasee: ok | 17:27 |
| samtu92 | tgm4883: I have to specify the path as well | 17:27 |
| xangua | non: backup | 17:27 |
| samtu92 | Which takes a while | 17:27 |
| tgm4883 | samtu92: Oh, I misunderstood the question | 17:28 |
| non | xangua: thx, i'll take a look on it. | 17:28 |
| rypervenche | samtu92: Add this to your ~/.bashrc file: export PATH="$PATH:/home/youruser/scripts" (or something like that. | 17:28 |
| samtu92 | tgm4883: no problem :) | 17:28 |
| samtu92 | rypervenche: ok! | 17:28 |
| rypervenche | samtu92: You'll have to restart the terminal or source the .bashrc file for it to work. | 17:29 |
| ducasse | isn't ~/bin in the path bu default? | 17:29 |
| rypervenche | ducasse: Yep. echo $PATH to find out. | 17:29 |
| xangua | non: you can attempt to modify the positions or make a clean install, whatever you prefer... But first name a backup | 17:29 |
| xangua | Make | 17:29 |
| tgm4883 | ducasse: not on mine | 17:29 |
| curlyears | OK. You know all the problems I had with installing, and booting, etc? Well, it turnhs out it wasn't because I was stupid, or crazy, or lazy! | 17:30 |
| ducasse | tgm4883: then i must have added it. | 17:30 |
| zykotick9 | ducasse: if ~/bin exists when you first log in, it should be automatically added to path. tgm4883 | 17:30 |
| sdexter | Oh...there is no support for RAID in the installer...why the heck is that???? | 17:30 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9: when you first log in (as in first boot) or when you sign in? | 17:31 |
| ducasse | zykotick9: that could be why, thanks. | 17:31 |
| zykotick9 | tgm4883: create directory, log out, log back in. | 17:31 |
| ducasse | sdexter: use the server installer | 17:31 |
| samtu92 | export PATH="$PATH:/home/samtu/projects/calc.py" -- so will this work? | 17:31 |
| ducasse | samtu92: just the directory. | 17:32 |
| emetsipe | just include the path, not the script | 17:32 |
| tgm4883 | zykotick9: that's fancy :) | 17:32 |
| samtu92 | and then I just call calc.py? | 17:32 |
| samtu92 | or simply calc? | 17:32 |

| dancingdemon | I need some help if anyone can, I use this tagging script on ubuntu called lltag. It tags and renames music files. | 18:06 |
| dancingdemon | It has some internal FIELDS that it uses. It won't rename some songs because of undefined field.. | 18:07 |
| dancingdemon | lltag --no-tagg --rename "%n.%a - %t" -g Electronic ~/ALBUM/* | 18:07 |

| silli | i have a question | 18:26 |
| silli | i'm new on ubuntu | 18:26 |
| silli | i have the firewall inactive | 18:26 |
| silli | so, how i can open a port ? | 18:26 |
| tgm4883 | silli: well if the firewall is inactive, then there's nothing blocking the ports | 18:29 |
| tgm4883 | so nothing to open | 18:29 |
| silli | tgm4883 so my application will use the port without problems? | 18:32 |
| tgm4883 | silli: well yes, it would use the port without issues regardless of the firewall. Now you might have other issues depending on where you are accessing it from | 18:35 |

| jaythelinuxguy | Hi guys - my understanding is that Ubuntu has changed to a local DNS resolver. I want to view the IP addresses of the DNS server(s) my desktop is using.

| dshap | Hey all, I'm running into this weird issue where converting a PDF to PNG with ImageMagick/Wand (python binding) is hanging on a file and then ultimately fails with a Bus error, and then Ubuntu is telling me that 95% of my disk space is used and it can't convert additional files when I try. This happened after I ran my conversion function for 500+ other files in a row, and throughout that time I was monitoring memory & disk usage and all seeme | 19:41 |
| dshap | normal. What's a good way to identify and clear out this disk usage (other than rebooting my machine, which seems to work)? | 19:41 |
| mohamed | hi | 19:41 |
| Bashing-om | dshap: Something like ' cd / ; sudo du -sx * | sort -n ' . If you need to drill down further, use cd to move to a directory of interest then repeat the du command. | 19:46 |
| Bashing-om | The results are in megabytes, | 19:46 |
| Seveas | dshap: baobab if you want a gui | 19:46 |
| Ben64 | or just use "ncdu" | 19:46 |
| madsa | dshap: so the problem clears up when you reboot? maybe it's writing files to a tmpfs partition | 19:46 |
| Ben64 | although if it is gone after reboot, might be an opened deleted file | 19:47 |
| === Dorami-doraemon is now known as Dorami-Doraemon | ||
| Bashing-om | Ben64: dshap +1 on "ncdu" .. old habits do die hard . | 19:48 |
| dshap | madsa: When I first ssh onto the box in the welcome screen it says "Usage of /: 95% of 7.74GB" and that's when everything fails and I'm no longer able to run the conversion function. Then if I reboot, that usage goes way back down and then it works again for a while | 19:48 |
| dshap | Ben64: thanks for the tip on ncdu, looks pretty useful! | 19:49 |
| jaythelinuxguy | Yes, +1 for ncdu. I like to use ncdu -x to limit to the local file-system, so it doesn't scan network shares and what not | 19:50 |
| jaythelinuxguy | sudo apt-get clean may save you some space, but it will remove your APT archives, though | 19:52 |
| dshap | ncdu is showing 1G, 1.6G, and 2.8G directories within /tmp that start with "magick-" | 19:52 |
| dshap | seems like ImageMagick is creating these and not cleaning them up :( | 19:53 |
| dshap | I wonder if they're safe to delete manually | 19:53 |

| Seveas | Samy__: we had a person in here the other day whose isp did reall nasty things to his traffic, including manipulating DNS traffic to 8.8.8.8 | 20:47 |

| Samy__ | but that shouldn't keep the servers off lol | 20:49 |
| Samy__ | which server is archives.ubuntu I mean of what place or is it a global? | 20:49 |

| Bashing-om | knob: http://ppa.launchpad.net/didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center/ubuntu/dists/ indicats that xenial is not supported . Hummmm . | 21:21 |
| knob | I don't even know what that means. I don't even know if I want it out. I just don't know where I'm standing. | 21:22 |
| knob | I am trying to remove the PPA (I think!), and it tells me it can't because of a problem with that PPA | 21:22 |
| knob | I mean, wth?! | 21:22 |
| knob | can I delete the directories? | 21:23 |
| knob | If ppa-purge doesn't run because of an error I have... what other options? | 21:23 |
| Bashing-om | knob: Not knowing how you installed that PPA, not much I can say other than " ubuntu-developer-tools-center/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages " >> 404 is valid as that package is not supported in xental per: http://ppa.launchpad.net/didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center/ubuntu/dists/ . | 21:24 |
| knob | Ok... and from this: http://pastebin.com/s6JvcBB6 I believe I am trying to remove the ppa didrocks... and... it's complaining that that ppa is no longer supported? | 21:25 |
| knob | Well, how can I remove it? | 21:26 |
| knob | I mean | 21:26 |
| knob | I don't get this or how to even start | 21:26 |
| knob | how | 21:26 |
| knob | how do I just remove this? | 21:27 |
| knob | can I remove it from the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?? | 21:27 |
| tgm4883 | knob: did you install anything from that PPA? | 21:27 |
| knob | I don't know | 21:27 |
| knob | don't remember | 21:27 |
| knob | don't know | 21:27 |
| knob | all this is to install Android Studio | 21:27 |
| knob | can´t I just yank it out? Deal with later problems... later? | 21:28 |
| Bashing-om | knob: Well .. you can not remove something - in the manner you are trying - for something that does not exist " ubuntu-developer-tools-center/ubuntu xenial " .see the xenial ... not supported . | 21:28 |
| genii | That PPA only has Trusty and Utopic , no Xenial | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | knob: yea | 21:28 |
| knob | I don't understand what that means.. what? | 21:28 |
| knob | So ... I can't remove it because it doesn't exist? | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | knob: how did you add the PPA? | 21:28 |
| knob | I don't know | 21:28 |
| tgm4883 | knob: ok, try this | 21:29 |
| knob | apparently, this was it (from history | grep ppa): sudo add-apt-repository ppa:didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center | 21:29 |
| tgm4883 | knob: ok, you just did that recently? | 21:29 |
| knob | yes | 21:29 |
| knob | last hour or so | 21:29 |
| tgm4883 | knob: ok, so just delete that file from your sources.list.d directory | 21:30 |
| OerHeks | NOT http://ppa.launchpad.net/didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center/ubuntu/dists/ . but >>>> ppa:didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center | 21:30 |
| knob | haven't installed anything else in this past hour... so I don't think I will "hang-up" anything | 21:30 |
| knob | Yay!\ | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | knob: yea that's fine | 21:30 |
| knob | Yes, that's what I did: sudo ppa-purge ppa:didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center | 21:30 |
| Epx998 | I am trying to find out what package will install a binary (that is not yet installed) - there a apt that will do that? | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | the ppa-purge command is only necessary if you installed stuff from that PPA | 21:30 |
| tgm4883 | which you didn't | 21:30 |
| knob | Ohhh | 21:31 |
| knob | Wow. BTW, thank you all guys. Much appreciated. I know it's hard sometimes to deal with somebody as thick as me. So thank you! | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | knob: you couldn't have, which you've already found out (since it's complaining that the xenial PPA doesn't exist) | 21:31 |
| knob | On my way to remove those manually via command line | 21:31 |
| OerHeks | oh oke, not used ppa can be removed manually, and not with ppa-purge, i'll remember that | 21:31 |
| tgm4883 | OerHeks: yep, and if they do something dumb like adding a PPA for a different version (eg. adding the PPA with trusty sources on a xenial box) there is a option to run ppa-purge for a different release | 21:32 |
| tgm4883 | -d [distribution]Override the default distribution choice | 21:32 |

| rattking | oh man. with 16.04 mounting a ramdisk over /tmp I am running out of space trying to use make-jpkg.. | 22:03 |
| Seveas | Epx998: there's no such thing as an 'i386 repo' :) | 22:04 |
| Bashing-om | Epx998: No. Try ' sudo apt install <package>:i386 ' . | 22:05 |
| Seveas | Epx998: dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt-get install yourpackage:i386 | 22:05 |
| Epx998 | Seveas: I need to install libreadline6:i386 - not sure how to do that in Ubuntu, on a 64bit instal | 22:05 |

| gtl | hey guys, i need help | 22:26 |
| gtl | i upgrade ubuntu (to 16.04) | 22:27 |
| gtl | and now can not start networking with error (RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up eth0) | 22:27 |
| ikonia | gtl: how did you upgrade | 22:29 |
| ikonia | there is no official upgrade option yet | 22:29 |
| hdon | hi all :) we want to use btrfs snapshots as the basis for a backup system. snapper looks nice, but it's for opensuse and apparently doesn't play nicely with ubuntu. are there any alternatives? | 22:29 |
| gtl | dist-upgrade command | 22:29 |
| ikonia | gtl: upgrade from what version to 16.04 | 22:29 |
| Bashing-om | gtl: "eth0" no longer exist in 16.04. See if https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ helps shed some light on what is not going on . | 22:30 |
| * tgm4883 notes that a dist-upgrade command shouldn't upgrade you to 16.04 | 22:30 | |
| ikonia | it won't | 22:30 |
| gtl | 15.10 | 22:30 |
| ikonia | gtl: dist upgrade will not upgrade you to 16.04 | 22:30 |
| ikonia | so how did you upgrade | 22:30 |
| tgm4883 | I mean, it will, if you do some very bad things | 22:30 |
| gtl | but I still get xenial with lsb_release -a command | 22:31 |
| ikonia | gtl: exactly how did you upgrade - EXACTLY | 22:32 |
| gtl | which I did today and now there is problem! | 22:32 |
| tgm4883 | gtl: what's the exact command that you ran to upgrade? | 22:32 |
| gtl | let me check the link by Bashing-om | 22:32 |
| gtl | https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts | 22:33 |
| gtl | ikonia: this was the tutorial | 22:33 |
| ikonia | another utter garbage tutorial | 22:34 |
| ikonia | telling people to blindly use upgrade-manager -d | 22:34 |
| OerHeks | first thing i read is a Warning: ... | 22:35 |
| ikonia | it's just not acceptable for providers to write this sort of document | 22:35 |
| FManTropyx | digital ocean is utter garbage | 22:37 |
| gtl | hmmm | 22:37 |
| tgm4883 | in any case, case we get back to assisting the user? | 22:37 |
| gtl | i have server running there, so i thought they have the right tutorial | 22:38 |
| ikonia | I'm not going to support unacceptable supported boxes | 22:38 |
| ikonia | I suggest you talk to digitial ocean to support their guide and the situation it puts your host in | 22:38 |
| tgm4883 | ikonia: that's fine, you don't have to... | 22:38 |
| ikonia | these provideers should not be able to write garbage info and expect the commuity to pick it up | 22:38 |
| ImperiusR4 | hi | 22:38 |
| ImperiusR4 | i am from argentina! | 22:39 |
| gtl | thanks ikonia - next time, i will go for other tutorial even being hosted there | 22:39 |
| gtl | i was just thinking that they have easy tutorials | 22:39 |
| ikonia | because they suck and are bad, so they are "easy" | 22:39 |
| ikonia | gtl: there is no tutorial - because ther is no upgrade path yet | 22:40 |
| gtl | hmm | 22:40 |
| ikonia | so any tutorial that says there is an upgrade path is bad/wrong | 22:40 |
| gtl | let me quickly write them then | 22:40 |
| guest-MVgE3r | hi | 22:40 |
| tgm4883 | gtl: have you checked that other doc posted yet? | 22:40 |
| gtl | which doc tgm? | 22:41 |
| gtl | the one you posted? | 22:41 |
| tgm4883 | gtl: the one Bashing-om posted | 22:42 |
| gtl | i only tried to diable the new naming scheme, i think it is not working | 22:44 |
| martin__ | Hi all, is there anyone that can help me with fault finding a java/firefox issue i am having... | 22:49 |

| martin__ | ok, so I seem to be having a few issues getting the java plugin to show up in firefox | 22:50 |
| martin__ | I've got java showing up and have tried creating a symbolic link in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but when ever I restart the browser the plugin does not appear to be showing up | 22:52 |
| MrJones | hi | 22:59 |
| MrJones | service exim4 start doesn't actually start exim4 for me | 22:59 |
| MrJones | how can I find out why? it says "Starting MTA ...done." but no exim4 is actually running afterwards | 22:59 |
| MrJones | nothing interesting in /var/log/exim4/mainlog either | 23:00 |
| MrJones | and since it doesn't tell me what command it actually ran, I don't know how to manually launch it to actually get some idea on what is happening | 23:00 |
| MrJones | is the stdout of the launch stored somewhere? is there something else logged somewhere by the service command which could help me? | 23:00 |
