| solarbird | okay so this is incredibly minor, but: none of my windows clip the little corners off the rounded bits in the top bar. To wit, this thing: http://solarbird.net/Livejournal/2016-07/why-is-this.jpg | 00:37 |
| solarbird | Is that secretly a setting somewhere that I can adjust? it's not in gnome-tweak-tool | 00:37 |
| solarbird | (so i imagine it's something at the X level.) | 00:38 |
| Ben64 | might be your display settings, your graphics driver, or something else | 00:39 |

| solarbird | reproduced across two different drivers (the nvidia proprietary and the open source one... um... I forget the name) so I don't think it's the driver. | 00:40 |
| solarbird | did not do this on the same hardware in 12.04 lts | 00:40 |
| solarbird | It's Just Weird. Like, is there a "respect transparancy" sort of setting somewhere? | 00:40 |
| Ben64 | that's covered under "your display settings" | 00:41 |
| solarbird | but not in a way I can find it. | 00:41 |
| solarbird | i am more thinking Something in Xorg.conf | 00:41 |
| Ben64 | no | 00:42 |

| Nitrigaur | The point release was 6 days ago and I'm on 14.04, why haven't I got a dialogue yet asking me to upgrade to the latetst version? | 00:43 |
| Ben64 | !ltsupgrade | Nitrigaur | 00:43 |
| ubottu | Nitrigaur: The automatic LTS upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 was scheduled when 16.04.1 LTS was released on July 21st, but has been postponed for one week due to final bug testing. | 00:43 |
| Nitrigaur | Ben64, that's unfortunate, but better stable than buggy I guess. | 00:44 |
| subsume | ubuntu will automatically upgrade....? | 00:44 |
| Ben64 | no | 00:44 |
| Nitrigaur | subsume, It's not Win10 ;-) | 00:44 |
| subsume | lol | 00:44 |
| subsume | sounded scary | 00:45 |
| subsume | i've never used a dist-upgrade in my life | 00:45 |
| Ben64 | dist-upgrade just updates your packages | 00:45 |
| Ben64 | you should do that often | 00:45 |
| Nitrigaur | I have upgraded distro's from 9.04 on on the same machine. | 00:45 |
| subsume | wow | 00:46 |
| Nitrigaur | And I'm using Ubuntu since version 5.04 | 00:46 |
| solarbird | ubottu is pretty smart, i keep thinking it's a person | 00:47 |
| ubottu | solarbird: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:47 |
| Nitrigaur | ^ Now, that reply | 00:47 |
| solarbird | nitrigaur: by contrast, i have never had a dist-upgrade in ubuntu _not_ be a trainwreck | 00:47 |
| Ben64 | again, dist-upgrade just updates all your packages, it doesn't get you a new version of ubuntu | 00:48 |
| solarbird | or I should say, a version upgrade. | 00:48 |
| OerHeks | !dist-upgrade | 00:48 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 00:48 |
| solarbird | (sorry, but it's true. works great on debian tho') | 00:48 |
| Ben64 | almost every problem duing an upgrade is due to 3rd party packages | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | indeed, or 'proposed' | 00:49 |

| whitephoenix | Hey guys something happened to my secondary hard drive while I was installing gentoo onto a usb stick just for practice. After booting back in normally, my secondary hard drive had to be removed from fstab to boot. It seems to have a boot flag now, gparted says unknown filesystem, but strings /dev/sda | less lists my files that are on it, how can I restore it to working order? | 00:51 |
| Ben64 | solarbird: doesn't matter | 00:51 |
| solarbird | ben64: most certainly does! that's my /home partition and it wouldn't let me include it in the install without formatting it because the installer decided it was ext2 and By God Would Not Accept Otherwise. | 00:52 |
| Ben64 | just don't check the format button, done | 00:52 |
| solarbird | ben64: (ext4 is correct) | 00:52 |
| OerHeks | whitephoenix, sounds like you installed it to the wrong device, or the bootloader to the wrong device, dunno about gentoo | 00:52 |
| Ben64 | it doesn't matter if it says ext2 | 00:52 |
| solarbird | ben64: NO. it would declare it ext2, then fail to mount it correctly as ext2, OR, if I told it it was ext4, it would INSIST upon formatting it, or refuse to install. | 00:53 |
| whitephoenix | OerHeks, but it does say my files are still there, I was very careful to put everything on the usb not my hard drive | 00:53 |
| solarbird | ben64: "mount as ext4 and do not format" was _not an option_. | 00:53 |
| Ben64 | solarbird: you can mount ext4 as ext2, ext2 as ext4. it still doesn't matter | 00:54 |
| solarbird | ben64: I ended up letting it make a /home on / and adding it to fstab later. | 00:54 |
| solarbird | ben64: NO. The installer would try, and fail. | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | you did it wrong then | 00:54 |
| solarbird | ben64: It's the _installation GUI_. there are _very few ways to do it_. | 00:54 |
| whitephoenix | I get "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1" when I try to mount it. dmesg | tail says EXT4-fs (sda): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem | 00:54 |
| Ben64 | whitephoenix: try testdisk | 00:56 |
| OerHeks | whitephoenix, is this UEFI? | 00:57 |
| whitephoenix | Ben64, doesn't that require having another hard drive that is larger? | 00:57 |
| whitephoenix | OerHeks, I honestly have no idea | 00:57 |
| Ben64 | no | 00:57 |
| Ben64 | it can search for deleted partitions | 00:57 |
| whitephoenix | alright I'll try it | 00:57 |

| part_me | who has an old notebook? | 04:43 |
| ph0tonic | so far no luck, although it nearly fits most of the connectors are different | 04:43 |
| ph0tonic | its an hp mini 9 with borked network and sd slot | 04:43 |
| orlock | ph0tonic: If its a different brand/model, then yeah it's not going to fit | 04:43 |
| ph0tonic | i can however simply use an extenal NIC | 04:43 |
| ph0tonic | its virtually identical, from a slightly more recent hp mini | 04:43 |
| ph0tonic | the connectors are in the same place apart from the vga and network | 04:44 |
| ph0tonic | even the on/off switch fits | 04:44 |
| ph0tonic | heatsink/fan etc are similar and again the fan connector is different but this is simply a trivial mod | 04:44 |
| ph0tonic | the cpu is actually identical atom dual core | 04:45 |
| ph0tonic | its ddr3l not ddr2 however | 04:45 |
| part_me | these hp mini are so failure friendly | 04:45 |
| ph0tonic | indeed. If the HDD/RAM/fan breaks its a trivial repair needing only a couple of screws | 04:46 |
| ph0tonic | i might sell the old MB on | 04:46 |
| ph0tonic | "minor dings and dents: ideal for fixing machine with cracked/totally dead MB" | 04:46 |
| orlock | Didnt you say nic and sd were stuffed? | 04:47 |
| ph0tonic | the onboard NIC and SD are controlled by the same chip so pretty sure that is dead | 04:47 |
| ph0tonic | loathe to remove it in case it dies completely | 04:47 |
| ph0tonic | also the chip on the new MB is not the same | 04:47 |
| ph0tonic | Indeed. The previous owner ripped the SD out because it was stuck, tearing half the pads off the board | 04:47 |
| ph0tonic | I attempted to patch it up but no chance | 04:48 |
| ph0tonic | Even tried conducting epoxy | 04:48 |

| miharu | hi. | 05:35 |
| mikhael_k33hl | and why does it get its update from opensuse | 05:36 |
| miharu | so... I've just installed ubuntu. For those who dual booting, how do you manage file shared between two OS? | 05:36 |
| Triffid_Hunter | miharu: linux should be able to access your windows files without problems. windows has zero clue about linux files, so anything you need to share goes on the windows partition | 05:37 |
| TheFocus | madsa: apt update && apt full-upgrade is not permissable (locked file) | 05:38 |
| madsa | TheFocus, sorry, prefix that with 'sudo' | 05:38 |
| madsa | so run 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' | 05:38 |
| madsa | you have to be root | 05:38 |
| miharu | Triffid_Hunter: so there is no need for another installation, just make the windows made partition? | 05:38 |
| Triffid_Hunter | miharu: not sure what you mean | 05:39 |
| TheFocus | madsa: Thought that might be the case and also gave it a try... Nothing comes up for update but running 16.04 on system | 05:39 |
| TheFocus | 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade. | 05:40 |
| miharu | So, I just make another partition on windows, then mark them as active so that windows can use it, then just log on to ubuntu? | 05:40 |

| notadeveloper | i did | 06:18 |
| notadeveloper | it says could not load ctrc 117 | 06:18 |
| OerHeks | notadeveloper, hard to say, can you paste your xorg.conf on paste.ubuntu.com ? so others can have a look? | 06:20 |
| notadeveloper | i just removed nvidia cards and install | 06:20 |
| lotuspsychje | moneylotion: sudo apt-get install preload | 06:20 |
| notadeveloper | reinstall ubuntu | 06:20 |
| vahvero | i have weird problem. I try to connect with samba server where is libreoffice odt file and i can't open it. error is general I/O-error. So gvfs has maybe issues. With Linux Mint there isn't problem. Hmm. | 06:23 |
| vahvero | even if i make new file and move it to server. i can't open it with libreoffice. Normal text file i can open with mousepad and do editing. | 06:24 |

| ubottu | Guest83807: 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 | 06:28 |

| solarbird | I was on earlier, but: anybody know how to make this particular bit of clipping work? It is the only graphic artefact I am seeing, it shows up using multiple drivers, it didn't show up in my previous install (12.04 LTS), it shows up now (16.04 LTS), nvidia, x86: http://solarbird.net/Livejournal/2016-07/why-is-this.jpg | 06:51 |
| solarbird | 16.04 LTS was a clean install and is up to date, xorg.conf is as created by the driver and makes sense regardless. running gnome3. | 06:52 |

| dwynwen_ddlleyw | Are there any good screen readers for Ubuntu? | 07:09 |
| === Dorami|Away is now known as Dorami | ||
| solarbird | ducasse: I have. Also, it appears the exact same way with the nouveau driver, the open-source one for nvidia, as well as the nvidia-written proprietary driver. | 07:16 |
| solarbird | so i'm fairly certain this is a configuration matter with X or with gnome3. | 07:17 |
| solarbird | but where to start, I do not know. | 07:17 |
| IOF | can anyone help my Ubuntu 6 has brokern trying to upgrade to 16.04? | 07:27 |

| IOF | Im kidding just testing if anyone was active | 07:27 |
| ptah | lol | 07:28 |

| Maxou88 | sHey I have an issue with my ubuntu laptop. When i install ubutu on it few month ago check yes for encrypt my /home directory but now i need to make more space avalaible so and its seems ecryptfs double the disk usage of my home this is true ?? | 07:31 |
| IOF | ptah lol good look with flash, but then again bad look will come if you get it working | 07:32 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: no, it does not. | 07:32 |
| OerHeks | Maxou88, encryption takes bytes, but does not double the size | 07:32 |
| IOF | the internet has killed my spelling luck* | 07:33 |
| warbaque | I think that first linux I installed was Ubuntu 5.04 or 5.10 | 07:35 |
| ptah | mine was redhat | 07:35 |
| Maxou88 | Can i remove this .ecryptfs from my home witheout data loss ? | 07:35 |
| IOF | Maxou88 if you want true encryption encrypt the whgole drive not just partitions | 07:36 |
| Maxou88 | I dont need any encryption now | 07:38 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: you would need to backup your unencrypted data, wipe /home and restore it. | 07:38 |
| === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere | ||
| Maxou88 | so I backup /home/.ecryptfs in an external disk | 07:40 |
| Maxou88 | then i remove all my home ? | 07:40 |
| Maxou88 | then i restore my home from my backup ? | 07:40 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: no, the _unencrypted_ data, not the encrypted. | 07:40 |
| IOF | Maxou88 no just mount /home unencrypted and copy the data off. | 07:40 |
| IOF | the whole point of encrypting data is so it cant be recovered | 07:41 |
| === Shoe16_ is now known as Shoe16 | ||
| Maxou88 | the du of my /home is 21GO and i have 15GO left so i can't mount a new home unencrypted | 07:44 |
| IOF | Maxou88 you cant get your data then | 07:44 |
| Triffid_Hunter | Maxou88: usb stick :P | 07:44 |
| IOF | unless you want to attempt cracking the algorithm | 07:45 |
| Maxou88 | i need to clean | 07:45 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: it _is_ mounted unencrypted when you log in. | 07:45 |
| fenix | dstrowatch.com downloads a php files csmnx.php !! its happening for all | 07:45 |
| Maxou88 | ducasse i dont know | 07:45 |
| fenix | dstrowatch.com downloads a php file called csmnx.php !! is it happening for all ? | 07:46 |
| IOF | ducasse it wont be monted unencrypted unless the pass phrase has been entered | 07:46 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: i'm telling you. just copy off what you need, and don't backup .ecryptfs - that is the encrypted data. | 07:46 |
| ducasse | IOF: he has never mentioned problems logging in, so afaik he has that. | 07:46 |
| IOF | ducasse encyrpted data is encypted data login has nothing to do with it | 07:47 |
| ducasse | IOF: yes, because pam unlocks an ecryptfs-encrypted /home with your login password. | 07:47 |
| IOF | Maxou88 if you havent decypted it then the data is useless untill you can | 07:48 |
| IOF | ducasse really thats pretty insecure if it does | 07:48 |
| ducasse | IOF: why? a passphrase is a passphrase. | 07:49 |
| Maxou88 | i m really confused .. | 07:49 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: you can log in and see your homedir, right? | 07:49 |
| Maxou88 | how can know really how muck disk space use the encryption ? | 07:49 |
| IOF | encrypted data needs a pass phrase why else would you bother encrypting it | 07:49 |
| Maxou88 | of cours i can see all dir | 07:50 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: good, then just backup what you want. | 07:50 |
| IOF | that sounds like very lame encryption | 07:50 |
| ducasse | IOF: your login password _is_ the passphrase, in effect. (it's actually used to unwrap your passphrase, but...) | 07:51 |
| IOF | ducasse no it isnt not with any drive encryption Ive come across anyway | 07:52 |
| ducasse | IOF: ok, i'm just ignoring you now. | 07:52 |
| IOF | like I said lame encyption if it is | 07:52 |
| Maxou88 | so I pluged my external drive | 07:53 |
| trijntje | Maxou88: encrypting your data takes 0 extra space | 07:53 |
| warbaque | login password and encryption password shouldn't have anything to do with each others unless you set them up to be same | 07:53 |
| trijntje | so there is no point in removing the encryption for that reason | 07:53 |
| Maxou88 | trijntje so why when i launch baobab | 07:54 |
| Maxou88 | to see disk usage for each folder | 07:54 |
| Maxou88 | in my home | 07:54 |
| warbaque | usually you encrypt the whole block device so it'll look like it's full at all times | 07:54 |
| trijntje | Maxou88: because linux pretends like it also has all your files unencrypted, but thats just a trick | 07:54 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: you are actually reading the encrypted data | 07:55 |
| trijntje | secretly it decrypts the files in the background the moment you need them | 07:55 |
| Maxou88 | I have my $user with 20GO and .ecryptfs same size ? | 07:55 |
| trijntje | Maxou88: yeah, the $user dir is fake, it just reads the .ecryptfs through and interface that decrypts it on the fly | 07:55 |
| trijntje | its the same data | 07:55 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: .ecryptfs is what is actually using space. | 07:55 |
| IOF | ducase your miss advising | 07:55 |
| Maxou88 | mmmm | 07:56 |
| trijntje | like I said, encryption takes 0 extra space, all that is present on the harddisk is the .ecryptfs folder | 07:56 |
| Maxou88 | ok so there is not point to delete encryption because disk usage | 07:56 |
| trijntje | Maxou88: correct | 07:56 |
| ducasse | Maxou88: no. | 07:56 |
| daniel6644 | Hey Guys, I have a new hd mounted and formatted in "/mnt/Transfer-3/" I want to get plex to Sync all items from the default directory to this new directory. Will a mount or some kind of link allow me to do this? | 07:57 |

| Fi_ | Mm? I've read it. | 08:19 |
| k1l_ | Fi_: so what is the issue now? | 08:19 |
| IOF | prolly dependency hell | 08:20 |

| IOF | if it is good luck compiling on 16.04 | 08:24 |

| IOF | .debs will fail if its using an obsolete dependency | 08:25 |
| IOF | so will a repo | 08:26 |
| ikonia | it looks like those debs will pull in a lovely set of packages to overwrite and create conflicts later | 08:26 |

| IOF | k1l if they have a repo that would be right | 08:37 |
| Fi_ | k1l_: teach me? | 08:37 |
| k1l_ | IOF: no. 3rd party repos dont belong into the sources.list but into the sources.list.d folder | 08:37 |
| OerHeks | IOF, wrong, ppa's have their own instance in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ | 08:37 |
| IOF | it works ! | 08:38 |
| k1l_ | Fi_: the rstudio website offers to download .deb packages. try that | 08:38 |
| Fi_ | okay, first thing I seem to have to do is learning Ubuntu. any links for a beginner like me? | 08:38 |
| k1l_ | IOF: ubuntu handles 3rd party repos differently. that is why they are excluded from the sources.list | 08:38 |
| OerHeks | IOF, don't misadvise ( your own words) | 08:38 |
| IOF | but I see in the intrest of standards | 08:38 |
| kittykitty | its been almost a week since 16.04.1 was released, still cant upgrade from 14.04 yet. Anyone know why? Are the repos STILL not updated?? | 08:39 |
| IOF | k1l no it doesent apt /aptitude both read the sources.list | 08:39 |
| IOF | they may overwrite anything in them thats why the Linux community advices to use the .d dir for overrides | 08:40 |
| OerHeks | IOF wrong. | 08:40 |
| k1l_ | IOF: sure it does. like i said ubuntu handles 3rd party repos differently. like on upgrades. | 08:40 |
| ducasse | !ltsupgrade | kittykitty | 08:41 |
| ubottu | kittykitty: The automatic LTS upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 was scheduled when 16.04.1 LTS was released on July 21st, but has been postponed for one week due to final bug testing. | 08:41 |
| IOF | OerHeks no Im not | 08:41 |
| Fi_ | I become more confused. | 08:41 |
| kittykitty | thanks ubottu, didnt know that | 08:41 |
| kittykitty | bit weird that the iso is out but not the upgrade though | 08:41 |
| k1l_ | IOF: this channel is ubuntu specific support and deals with the specifics the ubuntu setup got. so the ubuntu way is to put 3rd party repos int the sources.list.d folder. | 08:41 |
| vahvero | has anybody check the problem what i had? | 08:42 |
| Fi_ | vahvero: no, I'm a beginner. | 08:42 |
| OerHeks | vahvero, repeat your question please, too long ago | 08:43 |
| IOF | k1l I respect that Im just giving support, bear in mind I use many distros | 08:44 |
| k1l_ | Fi_: on the rstudio website they offer to download .deb packages for ubuntu. did you try that? | 08:44 |

| Luther | hi guys, just a short question if i want to use notifications i have to install a plugin to do this like https://github.com/jasonhancock/nagios-html-email/blob/master/README.md or i can set up an email server. Is this correct? i am new to nagios so please do not tear me in pieces if i oversee something obvious :P | 08:53 |
| k1l_ | adroit_machine: please run "dpkg -l | grep nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the output url here | 08:53 |
| vahvero | OerHeks, and im using Xubuntu, but there shouldn't be so much difference. | 08:53 |
| vahvero | OerHeks, im doing this with thunar | 08:53 |
| adroit_machine | k1l_: the output is this url only: http://termbin.com/8kak | 08:54 |
| k1l_ | adroit_machine: yes, the url is correct | 08:54 |
| adroit_machine | folks at #winehq told me to download wine-hq files | 08:54 |

| Yuji | Anyone know why an AMD APU's GPU might be seen as a completely different GPU? Got an A10-5745M which according to all specs has an HD8610G but Xorg is showing it as some kind of Aruba.. | 08:56 |
| adroit_machine | IOF: I used synaptic to install wine 1.6 | 08:56 |
| k1l_ | adroit_machine: remove the "nvidia-libopencl1-340" package and try again to install wine | 08:56 |
| adroit_machine | k1l_: how do I remove it? and is there a possibility that it may break my box? | 08:57 |
| k1l_ | sudo apt remove nvidia-libopencl1-340 | 08:57 |
| IOF | k1l dont you mean reinstall he needs a graphics driver after all | 08:57 |
| k1l_ | IOF: no | 08:57 |
| Triffid_Hunter | IOF: opencl isn't a graphics driver, it's a gpu computing library that uses the graphics driver | 08:58 |
| IOF | yeah but opeencl has nothing to do with nvidia | 08:59 |
| k1l_ | the problem here is, that nvidia is not packaging the packages according to the ubuntu/debian packaging guidelines. | 08:59 |
| vahvero | OerHeks, thanks!!! I GOT IT :D i did install libreoffice-gnome package!! | 08:59 |
| IOF | k1l I see | 09:00 |
| OerHeks | vahvero, nice find | 09:00 |
| Yuji | For those of us with an AMD APU, what driver options are there now? I recall recently that fglrx is being deprecated or is, ? | 09:01 |
| ducasse | Yuji: in 16.04, yes. | 09:01 |
| Yuji | Mint 18, I'm uh, not a Unity guy. ^_^ *peace, ducks for cover* >_>; So any options available or? For some reason Xorg is showing my AMD APU's chipset as an Aruba but it is a Kabini, according to pretty much any info I see. | 09:02 |
| OerHeks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#fglrx | 09:02 |
| IOF | yuji dont know but its probably reading diresctly from the chipset | 09:03 |
| Yuji | Manual probing shows HD8610G, so I'm not sure why Xorg is so confused. | 09:03 |
| k1l_ | Yuji: ask the mint support about mint issues | 09:03 |
| k1l_ | !mint | Yuji | 09:04 |
| ubottu | Yuji: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 09:04 |
| Yuji | Unfortunately, SpotChat is down for me at the moment. | 09:04 |
| k1l_ | since they change some stuff on updates and kernels etc. | 09:04 |
| OerHeks | Yuji, known issue, install the amd microcode for the update to read it correct | 09:04 |
| k1l_ | Yuji: then try their forums | 09:04 |
| Yuji | That I did do, but it still shows up as an Aruba. | 09:04 |
| Yuji | Yeah, to the forums I go then. | 09:05 |
| IOF | xorg is old youd be best asking x11 support, if there is one | 09:05 |
| OerHeks | Yuji, then you have Arube i guess. | 09:05 |
| Yuji | OerHeks: Nah, something is broken. Not sure what though. | 09:05 |
| Yuji | IOF: Well X11, xorg, meh. Xorg.0.log, all I know. I'll look into the difference between Xorg and X11. | 09:06 |
| IOF | yuji xorg is x11 | 09:11 |
| phiona | im planning to upgrade with sudo update-manager -d. will this command work on all ubuntu? | 09:24 |
| k1l_ | phiona: stop | 09:24 |

| k1l_ | *what | 09:25 |
| phiona | no. | 09:25 |
| k1l_ | its for development release. | 09:25 |

| folf | Hi, I'm running 14.04.4, software updater (update-manager on the commandline) is showing all updates applied, but no available upgrade (to 16.04.1). If I set "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" to "For any version" I get a notification that 15.10 is available. Any ideas what I could do? | 09:26 |
| k1l_ | !ltsupgrade | folf | 09:27 |
| ubottu | folf: The automatic LTS upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 was scheduled when 16.04.1 LTS was released on July 21st, but has been postponed for one week due to final bug testing. | 09:27 |
| phiona | k1l_: so what should be the command? -s for stable? | 09:27 |
| folf | Thanks k1l_! | 09:27 |
| k1l_ | phiona: no. what do you want to do at all? | 09:27 |
| k1l_ | phiona: without any option it will upgrade to the next available release according to the release-prompt set. | 09:28 |
| Aazad | is anyone here ?? | 09:28 |
| Aazad | i need help | 09:29 |

| phiona | k1l_: automatically? | 09:29 |
| k1l_ | phiona: it will not automatically upgrade to the next release. the update-manager will notify you when a new release is available and ask you if you want to upgrade | 09:30 |
| k1l_ | phiona: what is your real issue? do you want to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04? | 09:30 |
| phiona | k1l_: yes. thats what i was going to do | 09:32 |
| k1l_ | !ltsupgrade | phiona | 09:32 |

HELP please. | 09:34 |
| phiona | k1l_: so? wait for at least one week more? | 09:34 |
| whizz | k1l_: does that mean it'll be available tomorrow? | 09:34 |
| k1l_ | phiona: whizz i dont know when the release team is done with opening the LTS upgrade. but they said they need one more week. | 09:34 |
| phiona | k1l_: ok. what if we miss the prompt telling us to upgrade? | 09:36 |
| k1l_ | phiona: then you run "update-manager" again and it will ask you | 09:36 |

| liava | Launch the printer configuration tool on your Linux desktop and start adding a printer. (On Ubuntu, open the System Settings window and click Printers, or launch the Printers application from the Dash.)

| ina_ | hi, i've a problem with a brother dcp-8020: printing does, scanning not. brscan is installed. simple-scan -d gives me (after succesfully reading modes and setting them) "DEBUG: scanner.vala:1213: sane_start (page=0, pass=0) -> SANE_STATUS_INVAL" | 11:45 |
| adroit_machine_ | good morning, BluesKaj | 11:49 |
| BluesKaj | Hi adroit_machine_ | 11:50 |
| Blakes5 | Would anyone have an idea why when I run gnome ubuntu my system would randomly crash whenever playing video games or watching videos but is rock solid if I use any other window's manager? | 11:51 |
| ikonia | could you define "crash" | 11:51 |
| Blakes5 | Freeze...lock up...require a reboot | 11:51 |
| ikonia | as in the whole machine physically locks | 11:51 |
| Blakes5 | Yes as in even the keyboard pressing caps lock will not light caps lock indicator....hard lock | 11:52 |
| ikonia | so that suggests a panic of some sort | 11:52 |
| YankDownUnder | "any other window manager" - ? | 11:52 |
| ikonia | what app are you using to watch the videos | 11:52 |
| Blakes5 | Yes | 11:52 |
| tigefa | mpv | 11:52 |
| Blakes5 | Right now I'm running xfce4 | 11:53 |
| Blakes5 | I can also run fluxbox..... | 11:53 |
| ikonia | thats the desktop | 11:53 |
| ikonia | not the window manager | 11:53 |
| Blakes5 | no crashes | 11:53 |
| YankDownUnder | Ah...right...so Unity "crashes", but the others don't...? | 11:53 |
| Blakes5 | I suppose | 11:53 |
| ikonia | need to clarify | 11:53 |
| ikonia | gnome or unity | 11:53 |
| ikonia | and what video app | 11:53 |
| streulma | Hello, if I run the bash scripts from the terminal it works, if I run outside the sh and choose Run in terminal (with ask setting in nautilus) then it won't work | 11:54 |
| Blakes5 | Initially when the system was installed it would randomly freeze within 10 minutes. I attributed that to nourveau (sp), removed it installed nvidia drivers. | 11:54 |
| ikonia | streulma: depends what the script does | 11:54 |
| ikonia | and you need to define "won't work" | 11:54 |
| ikonia | as thats like me saying "fix it" | 11:54 |
| streulma | sh script.sh start ikonia | 11:54 |
| ikonia | streulma: thats not really info | 11:55 |
| Blakes5 | ikonia, anything.....youtube, vlc | 11:55 |
| ikonia | Blakes5: ok - so those are two very different things | 11:55 |
| Blakes5 | right | 11:55 |
| ikonia | and they work in very different ways | 11:55 |
| Blakes5 | and playing a video game will also elicit a lock unless it's a fresh reboot. | 11:55 |
| streulma | ikonia it's a shell script with start stop | 11:55 |
| ikonia | streulma: yes, but you're not really saying what it does | 11:56 |
| ikonia | streulma: why don't you paste the shell script, | 11:56 |
| Blakes5 | It seems like I can play video or games between reboots but not both, | 11:56 |
| ikonia | (pastebin) | 11:56 |
| ikonia | Blakes5: but this doesn't happen when you are running other desktops | 11:56 |
| Blakes5 | But now that I'm not running gnome.....it's rock solid | 11:56 |
| ikonia | Blakes5: you said when using gnome it crashes at the start | 11:57 |
| ikonia | Blakes5: could you take a moment, gather up the info - double check it then paste a summary | 11:57 |
| Blakes5 | before I removed nourveau | 11:57 |
| ikonia | as you've given quite conflicting info | 11:57 |
| streulma | ikonia http://pastebin.com/vyESWZhT | 11:57 |
| ikonia | streulma: this is a script that calls another script | 11:58 |
| streulma | oh, ikonia yes :-) | 11:59 |

| kucing | ... | 12:03 |
| ikonia | streulma: so this seems pretty pointless | 12:03 |
| ikonia | just call the real script | 12:03 |
| ikonia | what is the value in having a script that calls a script | 12:03 |
| maysara | It ok to use ppa that has packages for older version? i.e trusty packages not xenial | 12:04 |

| ikonia | maysara: no | 12:04 |

| Zteam | Hi all! | 12:35 |
| Zteam | I must say I'm quite dissapoined by the Ubuntu 16.04 installer, no matter how I try it won't finish loading Unity, som I'm stuck with a blank desktop, and I can't bring it into a TTY either.... :-/ | 12:38 |
| Zteam | This never happened with any previous Ubuntu image I used.... | 12:38 |
| justxux | Maybe you can find some info about this in release announcement,or try download another image,this one can be corrupt | 12:39 |
| Zteam | justxux, I did read release announcement and the installer works perfectly on another computer (and earlier verions of the Ubuntu live ISO works on both computers without any issues :-/ | 12:41 |
| justxux | Zteam, maybe try other boot options | 12:43 |
| Zteam | the only two workarounds I can figure it out would be: 1 install a previous version of Ubuntu and then upgrade it once system is installed or 2, download the server edition and install from that one | 12:43 |

| justxux | Zteam, Why server edition? Try minimal ISO image | 12:45 |
| justxux | Zteam, Do you have a skylake processor on that computer? | 12:46 |
| Zteam | guineess-book, there is no real way of doing that... but then you are in desktop mode just bring up a command line by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 | 12:46 |
| akik | guineess-book: this worked on debian. i guess it should work on ubuntu too "systemctl set-default multi-user.target" | 12:47 |

| Zteam | justxux, do you know if the minimal iso offers a guided way to set up full disc encryption? | 12:50 |

| === Bluesaway is now known as BluesKaj | ||
| rattking | dalto: that command would be run from the booted OS | 14:08 |
| dalto | no - I installed GRUB to its own 350mb partition (on Ubuntu install) then overwrote it on the same partition with Mint GRUB - then I used EasyBCD in Windows to create the Linux entry as I would like to continue using the Windows bootloader | 14:08 |

| BluesKaj | !mint | dalto | 14:12 |
| ubottu | dalto: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 14:12 |
| adroit_machine_ | Need help please! when I do sudo apt-get -f install, I get this error:http://paste.ubuntu.com/21123348/ | 14:13 |
| dalto | EasyBCD allowed me to create an entry for Linux (through Windows) to point to /dev/sda4 which is the 350mb partition I installed GRUB to | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | adroit_machine_, run sudo dpkg --configure -a first, then -f install, that might help | 14:14 |
| dalto | therefore by overwriting the Ubuntu GRUB with Mint GRUB in the same location I used the Windows bootloader with default time of 10 seconds to boot to Win 7 or else select the Linux entry where GRUB appeared and I could choose either Mint or Ubuntu | 14:14 |
| dalto | .....chainloading? | 14:15 |
| dalto | I guess | 14:15 |
| adroit_machine_ | ok, BluesKaj | 14:15 |
| akik | dalto: what you have accomplished is something you need to figure out yourself | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, uefi ? | 14:16 |
| dalto | nope not UEFI ....IV'e seen many threads at the forums bout this problem but can't comprehend what's going on unfortunately | 14:17 |
| dalto | or how to apply a permanent fix | 14:17 |
| dalto | more to the point | 14:17 |
| rattking | dalto: that you are getting to grub-rescue indicates that grub was started by the other boot loader, but grub is unable to find its config on disk | 14:17 |
| dalto | is grub-rescue and grub rescue the same horse? | 14:18 |
| rattking | err yeah the grub rescue prompt | 14:18 |
| dalto | I get grub rescue> when I select the Linux entry in the Windows bootloader | 14:19 |
| dalto | then no GRUB | 14:19 |
| alkisg | dalto, why don't you install grub normally and avoid easybcd completely? | 14:20 |
| adroit_machine_ | BluesKaj: udo dpkg --configure -a, doesn't work. I'm getting the same error | 14:20 |
| dalto | I have not tried grub-rescue via the Terminal in Mint after running set boot=(sda0,msdosX) eNTER ETC ETC | 14:20 |
| rattking | thats usually solved by running grub-install /dev/whereever and update-grub to update grubs config from the booted system.. pick 1 ubuntu or grub and let os-prober (called by update-grub) find the other install | 14:20 |
| dalto | In which case I can bring up the GRUB bootloader and boot Ubuntu or Mint as I please | 14:21 |
| rattking | sorry I am still sleeping * Pick 1 ubuntu or mint and work with grub there | 14:21 |
| === JanC is now known as Guest24709 | ||
| === JanC_ is now known as JanC | ||
| alkisg | dalto, the problem you're mentioning is related to easybcd, you need to remove and reinstall the grub entry there, it's not related to linux or ubuntu | 14:22 |
| dalto | ok - so you are saying that if I run update-grub (with sudo?) from Terminal in either Mint or Ubuntu it should fix the issue? WIll the Windows bootloader remain default? | 14:22 |
| virtuosoj | Is Unity/Compiz more taxing on gfx hardware or less than Gnome/Mutter? | 14:23 |
| alkisg | You can tell grub to boot windows as the first choice, but you should really let grub manage your mbr, not windows/easybcd | 14:23 |
| YankDownUnder | virtuosoj: Yes. | 14:23 |
| alkisg | That's dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc from the booted ubuntu | 14:23 |
| virtuosoj | YankDownUnder, more or less? XD | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | adroit_machine_, sudo apt purge sqlite3 and mysql , tou may not need these files if you aren't running a server or database | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | toou=you | 14:24 |
| adroit_machine_ | BluesKaj: sqllite3 is needed for wine | 14:25 |
| YankDownUnder | virtuosoj: It's dependent on the graphics card, really - however, overall Gnome/Mutter is going to be less overhead/overall "hungry"...obviously, Unity/Compiz is going to require more GPU power to push effects... | 14:25 |
| dalto | I had a feeling it would get to that ... use GRUB but.... I would still like boot....Win bootloader ....default Win 7 after x time or Enter OR select Linux -> loads GRUB -> select Mint or Ubuntu if possible | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | adroit_machine_, purge it anyway reboot and reinstall it if you must | 14:26 |
| adroit_machine_ | ok, BluesKaj | 14:26 |
| dalto | possible? | 14:26 |
| akik | dalto: you can do it. read the link i pasted | 14:26 |
| alkisg | dalto: for that scenario, you should ask in the easybcd irc or forums or whatever support they have, it's not related to linux or ubuntu | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | adr but update and upgrade first after rebooting | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | adroit_machine_,^ | 14:26 |
| dalto | alkisg: yeh I sorta get that but I figured someone here would more than likely have faced the issue at some point | 14:27 |
| alkisg | adroit_machine_, BluesKaj, if you do purge it, note the packages that will be automatically removed; you may need to reinstall them | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | al the packages will install if he reinstalls the purged packages | 14:28 |
| adroit_machine_ | will do, alkisg | 14:28 |
| alkisg | dalto, you haven't explained the reasons why you prefer windows to manage the mbr though, while it definately doesn't know anything about linux, so you need a second proprietary software and *then* grub to be able to load linux... that's a whole lot more mess than just using grub in the first place | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | alkisg,^ | 14:29 |
| alkisg | BluesKaj: no, that's not true | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | then why didn't you halp him instead of correcting me, alkisg? | 14:30 |
| akik | alkisg: ntldr can boot the mbr boot sector which is in a file | 14:30 |
| alkisg | BluesKaj: suppose you remove lightdm, which in turn removes ubuntu-desktop, as that depends on lightdm. If you later on reinstall lightdm, you won't get ubuntu-desktop | 14:30 |

| === YankDownUnder is now known as YDU_away | ||
| alkisg | BluesKaj: do you know which packages that adroit_machine_ has, depend on sqlite3? I don't. I'm just telling him to make a list. | 14:31 |
| rattking | I handle all that by using 'dpkg -r --force-all' to remove the specific package causing trouble then 'apt-get -f install' to put it all back together.. But I am al little skiddish recommending that to others | 14:32 |
| alkisg | rattking: that's what I had in mind too, but I thought it was a bit harsh, but definately better than apt purge. | 14:32 |
| BluesKaj | alkisg, you tell him if you're so insistent , I know that this method has worked for mr in the past ...now if you want to help him , tell him not me | 14:32 |
| adroit_machine_ | BluesKaj: , alkisg, let's not fight guys | 14:33 |
| dalto | let me rephrase then .... if I were to fresh install 7 and then Ubuntu and then Mint (overwriting Ubuntu GRUB with Mint GRUB) using GRUB as the default bootloader then could I feasibly do a backup of ALL partitions on a single drive using Macrium Reflect free and not face the same issue I am now? | 14:34 |
| dalto | thoughts? | 14:34 |
| BluesKaj | adroit_machine_, we have to put up with so called experts in here ...I'm used to it , just make sure you update and upgrade after you reboot | 14:35 |
| alkisg | adroit_machine_, BluesKaj, if I run: sudo apt purge libsqlite3-0 in my system, it uninstalls more than 500 packages | 14:35 |
| alkisg | adroit_machine_, BluesKaj, if you run it, but press cancel, how much does it uninstall for you? | 14:35 |
| alkisg | BluesKaj: you give bad advice, and you don't want people to correct you | 14:35 |

| BluesKaj | dalto, to include the windows or linux OS partitions in grub, run, sudo os-prober, then run, sudo update-grub | 15:04 |
| davido_ | Guest782 : The choice of what to install for a programmer is based on the tool chain that works well with his organization and with the languages he intends to work with (programming languages). | 15:04 |
| Guest782 | actually i don't know.... the point of getting linux is because I am going to college to be a computer engineer. And i was told Linux would be better for me to use than windows | 15:04 |
| davido_ | Guest782 This isn't really an Ubuntu question though. The answers are going to be opinion based, and will not be unique to Ubuntu -- will apply to all linux environments. | 15:04 |
| k1l | Guest782: install ubuntu and start using it. so you get familiar with it. | 15:05 |
| rattking | ronin312123 thats definitely worth a bug report | 15:05 |
| adal | im using linux because when u use tor with windows it leaves leaks | 15:05 |
| davido_ | Guest782: Again this will depend on your college's CS program. What if they teach C++ using MSVC++? Anyway, not Ubuntu specific. I'm a developer, and my IDE is linux's tools, and vim. | 15:05 |
| Guest782 | i am using it one a virtual machine for now... | 15:05 |
| Guest782 | oh well davido i havent been given that information yet | 15:06 |

| Guest782 | ok ok then | 15:06 |
| Guest782 | so why should i use ubuntu? | 15:07 |
| subsume | huh? | 15:07 |
| davido_ | That's not a support question. | 15:07 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: pastebin.com/Cpb3jd7p for os-prober - safe to run the next command? What is this going to do BTW - set GRUB as default? I really don't mind ... just asking? | 15:07 |
| zykotick9 | davido_: fyi, to highlight someone with a factoid use "!foo | nick" | 15:07 |
| subsume | i like it because its almost as stable as debian and has mostly current support for things i need but i don't use it as a desktop | 15:07 |
| k1l | its easy to use and got a lot of software in the repositories. so you can easily install them. | 15:07 |

| subsume | EriC^^: hoping to get some help with a bootloader setup. :) | 15:08 |
| Guest782 | well i mean there are many differet types of linux.... so i am asking why should i pick ubuntu? | 15:08 |
| subsume | Guest782: for what use case | 15:08 |
| Guest782 | programming etc | 15:08 |
| k1l | Guest782: i just told you. its one of the most widespread distributions. | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | davido_, updating grub will list all your OSs including windows , assuming that's whatn you need | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | dalto,^ | 15:09 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: thought that one might have been meant for me :) | 15:09 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, yes it was :-) | 15:09 |
| subsume | Guest782: go search for the libs you need in the pursuit of programming and you may find that ubuntu has those packages more up to date than some other ones | 15:09 |
| dalto | BluesKaj:so GRUB will take over then? Correct? | 15:10 |
| subsume | i'm sure there are other flavors of linux worth using i just don't really spend my time on that problem anymore, i have moved onto other ones in a ubuntu context | 15:10 |
| subsume | having a huge active channel on IRC is also great too | 15:10 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, I assumed that's what you wanted and needed | 15:10 |
| subsume | including countless stackoverflow and other forum questions that pursue problems i run into | 15:10 |
| RoninDev | Hello! I have trouble with Ubuntu 16.04 Lockscreen. I use Caps Lock to change keyboard layout. Steps: 1) I lock my computer. 2) I press Caps Lock to change keyboard layout. But lockscreen disappears, I see all my windows (without password) for a few seconds. If I press buttons they take affect on active window... So anybody can do things on my computer without password.. Can anybody help me? | 15:11 |
| dalto | as I said before I would have liked to figure out a way of sticking with the Win bootloader but hey ... I'll try anything once my friend! :) | 15:11 |
| dalto | *BluesKaj | 15:11 |
| Guest782 | hmm well thank you subsume | 15:12 |
| subsume | dalto: heh i am looking for the same thing | 15:12 |
| subsume | here's one thing i don't get | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, not possible , it's not going to affect your windows boot or login , why would you want that ..it will look exactly the same once you choose to boot windows anyway | 15:12 |
| subsume | because its not reversible, BluesKaj | 15:13 |
| subsume | or its not reliably reversible | 15:13 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: true dat ... running update-grub now - let's see what happens then | 15:13 |
| Crazymofo | hey by any chance do any of know why effi is so hard to get to boot a linux disto off usb | 15:13 |
| subsume | if you decide you don't want ubuntu on the box you are in some shit trying to get windows back to a normal state | 15:13 |
| subsume | I don't get why I can burn a USB and it doesn't need a bootloader but when I install ubuntu it does | 15:13 |
| subsume | maybe the install disk does have a bootloader and i just don't know it | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | subsume, no kidding , but I don't understand his wanting the windows bootloader when the mbr is till there , it just has grub on it | 15:15 |
| subsume | oh | 15:15 |
| subsume | i was installing ubuntu next to windows but i don't want grub | 15:15 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: holy bat **** - what is /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic? | 15:15 |
| subsume | does anyone know if the liveCD has a bootloader? | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, that's your linux kernel | 15:16 |
| davido_ | Grub is pretty simple. If you ever get to a state where you wish to revert to windows only (instead of dual boot) you can just set grub to not show a splash screen, and to auto-select Windows. Then it becomes invisible. | 15:16 |
| rypervenche | subsume: It does. How else would it boot? :) Isolinux. | 15:16 |
| subsume | rypervenche: okay so can i just install the bootloader to the actual partition that i install ubuntu too | 15:17 |
| adal | subsume install grub | 15:17 |
| subsume | basically, could i just manually select the actual partition to boot from each time i want ubuntu and leave the rest the heck alone? | 15:17 |
| rypervenche | subsume: On Ubuntu, you would use syslinux instead. And yes, you could use it if you wanted. | 15:17 |
| subsume | eh its my friends windows machine | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | subsume, yes if you want | 15:18 |
| Melioo | Hi | 15:18 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: phew! I saw vm and thought it found the Linux VM's I am running in Workstation 12 - one of which I am speaking with you whilst on right now - I am n00btastic - I know I know ... give it up :) | 15:18 |
| adal | ho | 15:18 |
| subsume | i just want to do some temporary machine learning stuff but i don't want to invade his system with any changes | 15:18 |
| davido_ | well, there's always VirtualBox | 15:18 |
| subsume | BluesKaj: you think during install i can just select /dev/sda5 (my to be ubuntu partition) and the normal windows bootloader will be untouched? then i can F11 in and boot /dev/sda5 manually | 15:18 |
| Guest782 | yeah virtualbox :) | 15:18 |
| subsume | nah can't use vbox | 15:18 |
| subsume | for some reason tensorflow libs won't have access to the GPU | 15:19 |
| subsume | there's a huge warning about it in the install docs | 15:19 |
| Guest782 | well this has been an interesting first time experience with linux have a good day everyone | 15:19 |
| Melioo | Is it theoretically possible to create a functional persistent usb with a set size for the usb stick, then backup the drive and its file system to an iso, to burn it back to a simular sized thumb drive | 15:19 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: so I guess reboot and see if GRUB has taken the reigns then? | 15:19 |
| BluesKaj | subsume, yes , but you have to choose manual partitioning , and make sure you know which partition is the target ahead of time | 15:19 |
| rypervenche | subsume: I think a persistent USB would be the best for you then. | 15:20 |
| subsume | rypervenche: i have only one usb on me, so i can't really figure out how to make it | 15:20 |
| subsume | i need some medium to create the install disk | 15:20 |
| subsume | could i just make that medium a local unused partition? | 15:20 |
| Melioo | Subsume, universal usb creator | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | dalto, did you run sudo update-grub , if so then your good | 15:20 |
| BluesKaj | you're good | 15:21 |
| subsume | Melioo: what's that | 15:21 |
| Melioo | Makong it persistant depends on the machibe you boot in and the arch of the distro | 15:21 |
| subsume | BluesKaj: yeah i do manual partitioning anyway | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | subsume, look into dd or disk-cretor | 15:21 |
| Melioo | Sorry on a mobile device so spelling sucks | 15:21 |
| subsume | i am on osx | 15:22 |
| subsume | or windows | 15:22 |
| Melioo | Subsume reseach persistant usb, there is some basic and complex understanding of it | 15:22 |
| Melioo | Subsume hence universal | 15:22 |
| subsume | gotcha | 15:22 |
| BluesKaj | subsume, think dd works on OSX | 15:22 |
| subsume | BluesKaj: but if i can just select the specific partition during installation to put the boot loader there too, and it won't invade the windows bootloader, that's a good enough solution for me. i just wasn't sure whether that would even work | 15:23 |
| Melioo | Subsume, specific releases and arch do persistant also | 15:23 |
| Melioo | Subsume, usb 3 should voot and run fast too | 15:24 |
| Melioo | Boot | 15:24 |
| subsume | if i make changes will they persist? | 15:24 |
| Melioo | Thats what persistant refers to | 15:24 |
| Apachez | anyone in here with ubuntu 16.04 who also runs steam and managed to get windowed mode borderless (it was borderless in 15.10 but not anylonger in 16.04) | 15:24 |
| Melioo | Its a live boot, that persists (writes changes) | 15:24 |
| subsume | cool | 15:24 |
| Melioo | So if you set up wifi, shut down, boot again, it has your pass | 15:25 |
| Melioo | So question is once made, can you spin an iso from it as a backup to make another | 15:26 |
| dalto | BluesKaj: yep ran update-grub and still get the Windows bootloader ... can boot Windows 7 no problem via the Windows entry but select Linux entry and no GRUB ... still at grub rescue> _ | 15:26 |
| subsume | hmm | 15:26 |
| subsume | well i only have 8gb | 15:26 |
| subsume | i should probably hold off that's a bit tight | 15:26 |
| adal | Can i expand the partition in which i have ubuntu in, if so how? | 15:27 |
| dalto | doh | 15:28 |
| Melioo | Adal, you can make changes with sizes of the disk using partition editors . | 15:28 |
| adal | does ubuntu come with one? | 15:28 |
| Melioo | Yes | 15:28 |
| adal | melioo whats it called? | 15:29 |

Any advice on how to solve this issue is more than welcome? Thank you to all of you | 15:44 |
| adal | yeah so i guessi do have 2 | 15:44 |
| adal | how do i fix this then? | 15:44 |
| Melioo | Adal, the intel omboard will use the output one way, and the gtx uses it another way | 15:45 |
| Melioo | But you can only do one card at a time | 15:45 |
| adal | how do i suspend the other one | 15:46 |
| Melioo | If the glx has two outputs thatabthe card you want | 15:46 |

| adal | ok thanks melioo | 15:46 |
| Melioo | Adal, first you gotta picl the card that will dlnwhat you want | 15:46 |
| Melioo | Pick | 15:46 |
| adal | yeah i would choose gtx 970 | 15:46 |
| Melioo | Then find out if the kne you want is properly supported for dual | 15:47 |
| adal | kne? | 15:47 |
| chiluk | wish^: I had a similar issue.. it turned out to actually be the battery. | 15:47 |

| Melioo | Adal, dual display needs a dual output video card, your integrated one does have it i think the board has two hdmi or kne hdminonenvga foe the intel | 15:49 |
| Melioo | One hdmi and one vga | 15:49 |
| Melioo | Or two | 15:50 |
| adal | yes | 15:50 |
| adal | thats what i did | 15:50 |
| adal | i placed one in the hdmi and one in vga | 15:50 |
| Melioo | So if you want dual display.. intel wins | 15:50 |
| adal | so just plug cards to intel instad of gtx? | 15:50 |
| Melioo | I bought a number of dual output video cards | 15:50 |
| adal | i mean plug monitos | 15:50 |
| adal | can you recoend me some | 15:51 |
| Melioo | Adal, try that first, then make sure the intel on-board video is what is being used | 15:51 |
| Melioo | Then see if ubuntu detects the second monitor | 15:51 |

| danimal2 | hey, got ubuntu desktop 16 LTS, left pc on last night...was frozen when i got up, rebooted and just a flashing cursor on black screen...can someone assist? | 16:09 |
| Melioo | Danimal2, sounds like a bunch of reasons | 16:11 |
| danimal2 | its a fairly fresh install, was working great for a few days. | 16:11 |
| Melioo | Nvidia card? | 16:12 |
| btteb | hi guys | 16:12 |
| danimal2 | actually i think i do have one...id have to take peek under hood | 16:12 |
| adal | hi | 16:12 |
| btteb | where snap package are installed by default? | 16:12 |
| dalto | BINGO! installed Boot-Repair in Mint and now have GRUB as main bootloader ..Ubuntu, Mint and eek Win7 all bootable again :) Happy days | 16:13 |
| btteb | I'm planning to upgrade to 16.04, but not sure if 10 GB is enough for the root partition | 16:13 |
| danimal2 | if ubuntu is not shut down properly, does it do something like windows scandisk to fix any OS issues? | 16:13 |
| Melioo | Btteb dpkg -L package name | 16:13 |
| ducasse | adal: if there is only one dvi connector, you can only connect one screen. | 16:14 |
| Melioo | Danimal how did you install it | 16:14 |
| ducasse | btteb: /snap | 16:14 |
| adal | ducasse: so i guess i would use the intel one? | 16:14 |
| btteb | thx for ur answer guys, how much should I allocate my parition for snap? | 16:14 |
| danimal2 | thumb drive install..drive was completely wiped let ubuntu partition it.. | 16:14 |
| Melioo | Adal, usong two videocards at once is typically laptop tech | 16:15 |
| ducasse | adal: it's a bad situation, because then you've paid for a card you won't be using. | 16:15 |
| Melioo | Asal kust saying its not a desktop thibg | 16:15 |

| Melioo | Danimal there are some poats about it, didnt dig far enough | 16:19 |

| danimal2 | ok, i hear you. thanks for input my friend. will try some stuff on my end :) | 16:19 |

| davido_ | BlankSpace : When you open SoundSettings what do you see in the list under "Play sound through"? | 16:20 |

| BlankSpace | just that | 16:22 |

| dalto | adal: i see - my bad | 16:23 |
| adal | your ok | 16:23 |
| R13ose | Any thoughts on my question? | 16:24 |
| Melioo | R13 can you repeat it | 16:25 |
| ducasse | R13ose: if you're on kde, try #kubuntu, maybe someone there has seen the same problem. | 16:25 |
| davido_ | BlankSpace in a terminal what do you see when you cat /proc/asound/cards and cat /proc/asound/devices ? | 16:26 |
| R13ose | ducasse: will do | 16:26 |
| dalto | adal: Alfa AWUS051NH Dual Band | 16:26 |
| davido_ | I guess not "what do you see" but "do you see cards detected and devices detected? | 16:26 |

| dead_ | can you help me to setup the btrfs system on ubuntu system | 17:15 |
| OerHeks | !btrfs | 17:16 |
| ubottu | Btrfs is a filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is not recommended by default, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs | 17:16 |
| ducasse | dead_: if you are sure you need and want it, just choose it instead of ext4 in the installer. | 17:17 |
| dead_ | ducasse i am trying the conversion process but its failed to get it | 17:18 |
| ducasse | dead_: that is not recommended. | 17:18 |
| mcphail | dead_: I would not trust the conversion process | 17:19 |
| ikonia | it won't convert.... | 17:19 |
| ikonia | despite what any docs or people say | 17:19 |

| dead_ | okk | 17:21 |
| dead_ | is it possible in virtualbox | 17:21 |
| mcphail | dead_: you can always creat a filesystem image and mount it locally for experimentation | 17:21 |
| ikonia | yes....but | 17:22 |
| dead_ | because i do not want to damged my main os | 17:22 |
| dead_ | yes i did it | 17:22 |
| dead_ | with ext4 | 17:22 |
| ikonia | why did you use ext4 if you're trying to work on btrfs | 17:22 |
| mcphail | dead_: then create a large sparse file, format as btrfs and mount it as a playground | 17:23 |

| ducasse | max3: can't you autohide the taskbar? | 17:24 |
| GnomeKris | Adding some lines in /etc/fstab I think. But I don't know what to add. | 17:24 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: chown | 17:25 |
| max3 | ducasse, i don't want to autohide. i just want to it exclude the windows | 17:25 |
| GnomeKris | sudo chown /dev/sda/... | 17:25 |
| GnomeKris | or so? | 17:25 |
| ikonia | no | 17:25 |

| dead_ | <GnomeKris> | 17:25 |
| ikonia | the file system | 17:25 |
| NewGnuGuy | ikonia: It will still mount the partition just fine despite starting earlier on the disk and being larger? | 17:25 |
| ikonia | NewGnuGuy: yes | 17:25 |
| ducasse | max3: don't know if openbox can do that, have you looked in the manual if you can reserve a region of the screen? | 17:25 |
| dalto | night (hhh hmmm morning) all | 17:25 |
| GnomeKris | after looking at man chown... "sudo chown me:me /dev/sda | 17:26 |

| GnomeKris | ?? | 17:26 |
| NewGnuGuy | ikonia: ok thanks | 17:27 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: no | 17:27 |
| max3 | ducasse, i don't know exactly what to search for? just "reserve region"? | 17:27 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: not the device file - the file system | 17:27 |
| ducasse | max3: maybe, or "borders of screen" - something like that. | 17:28 |
| GnomeKris | so it'd be /media/me/disk | 17:28 |
| ikonia | ok | 17:29 |
| GnomeKris | then add lines to /etc/fstab/ to make it auto mount. | 17:29 |

| merpnderp | Bluh, dell and hp fail. Tried to find the cheapest laptops with 2 display ports and skylake with IPS, and it was impossible to even know where to begin. | 17:55 |
| GnomeKris | damn. I'm a fool | 17:56 |
| GnomeKris | I know my issue. I'm trying to own a new disk that has the same name as the old one. | 17:56 |
| GnomeKris | Gotta rename and mount the old one in a different place first. Then this should work swimmingly | 17:57 |

| ducasse | GnomeKris: you may want to mount it somewhere other than under /media, afaik that dir is handled by gvfs. | 18:00 |
| fractal | looks like a known bug for my issue: Error waiting for LUKS UUID: Timed out waiting for object (udisks-error-quark, 0) | 18:00 |
| fractal | any workarounds greatly appreciated | 18:00 |
| fractal | :( | 18:00 |
| GnomeKris | Where would you suggest then? | 18:00 |
| hurasafee | Can anyone help me configuring a VPN with strongswan? I'm new to linux | 18:01 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: /steamgames? /home/user/steamgames? whatever you prefer :) | 18:01 |
| GnomeKris | Here's my ultimate plan. Steam games on my 3tb disk, /home on my 320gb disk, and Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.1 on my 120gb ssd | 18:02 |
| GnomeKris | but currently games are on the 320gb hdd...while ubuntu and everything associated are on the 120gb ssd | 18:03 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: is this an external disk? | 18:03 |
| GnomeKris | so I have to move the games first. then move /home, then upgrade (read as fresh install) 16.04.1 | 18:03 |
| GnomeKris | No, all disks are internal | 18:03 |
| GnomeKris | sata drives | 18:03 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: /home is now on the ssd? | 18:04 |
| fractal | hurasafee: help me with mine and i help you with yours | 18:05 |
| GnomeKris | Yes, it is on the same disk as my ubuntu 14.04 installation. I'd like to separate it in order to make upgrading or changing distro's easier in the future | 18:05 |
| fractal | lol | 18:05 |
| fractal | jk | 18:05 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: first, move games to 3tb disk, then move /home to the 320gb. | 18:05 |
| fractal | they don't like n00bz in here that's why they ignore us | 18:05 |
| fractal | :( | 18:05 |
| GnomeKris | Yes, that's the plan. Gotta take ownership of the 3tb first, but it's name is to similar to the 320gb currently | 18:06 |
| hurasafee | fractal, RIP | 18:06 |
| fractal | ;( | 18:06 |
| GnomeKris | I'm thinking to rename the 320 to Home first, and remove it's fstab entry, then take ownership of the 3tb | 18:06 |
| patorea | Im new | 18:06 |
| GnomeKris | I think the similar naming is causing my issue | 18:07 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: you can just mount the 3tb outside of /media and chown it, the name doesn't really matter. | 18:09 |
| GnomeKris | The mount points will all change when I install 16.04 anyway, so it won't matter... | 18:09 |
| GnomeKris | Perfect then. thanks | 18:09 |
| GnomeKris | I'll give it a shot and get back to you. | 18:10 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: ok, good luck :) | 18:10 |
| fractal | well i was able to format ext4 but without LUKS | 18:15 |
| fractal | guess encryption will have to wait for now | 18:15 |

| ducasse | ale__: no, it's not ot, it's spam. | 18:16 |

| Xpr_X0 | hi everyone, I am trying to check the md5 for a lot of files that I have moved from another machine. A while back over a year ago some one in this channel was kind enough to give me a very nice and easy command to record the md5 sum for all the files in a folder and then simple check them in the destination. But I can not remember that command and | 18:18 |
| Xpr_X0 | all the commands online are kind of messed up or not giving the results that I want | 18:18 |
| Xpr_X0 | any help? | 18:18 |
| fractal | ale__: at least you get a response, even for spam | 18:18 |

| elias_a | fractal: What is your prob? | 18:19 |
| ikonia | fractal: if someone can't help - it doesn't make people unfriendly | 18:20 |
| ikonia | you complaining and just constantly asking isn't actually "nice", | 18:20 |
| ikonia | fractal: summerise your question, ask it wait for a response, wait and repeat clearly | 18:20 |
| ducasse | fractal: maybe nobody has tried luks with gnome disks? i've only ever used cryptsetup myself. | 18:20 |
| elias_a | mike-zal: Thou shalt not suck! (Beavis&Butthead) | 18:20 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, md5sum * > md5.txt to generate the md5 file | 18:21 |
| === Guest91131 is now known as pavlushka | ||
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, then, on the other machine, use md5sum --quite -c md5.txt | 18:21 |
| fractal | i had really high hopes for encrypting my external harddrive, been putting it off for weeks and anticipated smooth sailing only to be presented with errors in Gnome Disk utility when using LUKS+ext4. if i format it without LUKS it works fine. | 18:21 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, it will show only corrupted files | 18:21 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : Thank you so very much. but why --quit ? | 18:21 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, --quite make it not show OK for every file that is good | 18:22 |
| ducasse | fractal: didn't you say earlier that it was a known bug? | 18:22 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, I guess you're after wrongly transferred files only, right? | 18:22 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : alright. so if I have about a million files how can I know which ones are the bad ones? | 18:22 |
| ikonia | fractal: you're trying to encrypt an encypted disk ? | 18:22 |
| ikonia | or have I read you wrong | 18:23 |
| fractal | ducasse: it appears to be, and an OLD one at that. i would imagine there is some kind of workaround?? there might not be. not that i can find anyhow | 18:23 |
| ikonia | fractal: what is the bug id | 18:23 |
| fractal | ikonia: one sec i have to restore closed tabs to pull it up | 18:23 |
| ducasse | fractal: if you found a bug report, there might be a workaround in the comments - did you read them? | 18:23 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : yes exactly | 18:24 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, md5sum --quiet -c md5.txt > wrongfiles.txt | 18:24 |
| Xpr_X0 | what is the best approach? | 18:24 |
| ikonia | fractal: thank you | 18:24 |
| fractal | ducasse: i read the first few comments, i didn't scroll down all the way though tbh | 18:25 |
| fractal | ikonia: it's this error, but this is a redhat bug | 18:25 |

| fractal | that is my exact error though, and recent | 18:25 |
| ikonia | fractal: thats not an old bug or version | 18:26 |
| ikonia | there is very little info or activity on it | 18:26 |
| fractal | oh no :( | 18:26 |
| ikonia | fractal: have you checked launchpad to see if there is anything referenced against the ubuntu package ? | 18:26 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, for a million files it's likely to take a long time just to make ls | 18:26 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : my man md5sum * does not go into directories | 18:26 |
| GnomeKris | Okay, got the drives right...fastest way to copy paste without taking forever? | 18:26 |
| ikonia | copy and paste ? | 18:27 |
| GnomeKris | ducasse^^ ikonia^^ | 18:27 |
| GnomeKris | copy paste is showing 12 hours for 276gb | 18:27 |
| GnomeKris | there has to be a faster way | 18:27 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: why ? | 18:27 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: copying takes as long as it takes :) | 18:27 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: a disk will only spin at a certain speed, you only have a certain ammount of ram / cpu in your system, you only have some much room on the bus | 18:27 |
| ikonia | why must there be a quicker way ? | 18:28 |
| GnomeKris | but I don't have...11 hours to wait... | 18:28 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, then try this: find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum > md5.txt | 18:28 |
| GnomeKris | I have 16gigs of ram...so that's probably not my problem | 18:28 |
| ducasse | GnomeKris: then you can't copy everything. | 18:28 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: just wait it out | 18:28 |
| GnomeKris | shit | 18:28 |
| fractal | ikonia: bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1318954 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/util-linux/+bug/1059872 look very similar to mine | 18:28 |

| GnomeKris | there has to be a faster way.. | 18:29 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : I have seen that on the Internet, but the problem is the checking part. how can I check? | 18:29 |
| GnomeKris | I'm going to google | 18:29 |
| * ptah drinks wine | 18:29 | |
| ikonia | fractal: not sure they are the same | 18:29 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, md5sum -c does the checking | 18:29 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: why does there have to be a faster way ? | 18:29 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, what errors do you get from md5sum -c ? | 18:30 |
| fractal | ikonia: not really, but part of the error message matches, not entirely, but it looks like util-linux is to blame maybe? | 18:30 |
| GnomeKris | because it's 2:30 pm and I can't be up at 2:30 am working on this thing. | 18:30 |
| fractal | they were in the first page of my google results went i pasted my error msg | 18:30 |
| ikonia | fractal: based on the redhat bug - I don't think they are linked (just a personal opinion) | 18:30 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: so leave it going over night | 18:30 |
| GnomeKris | This jet engine of a pc sits right next to my bed... | 18:31 |

| razor1101 | GnomeKris: well, the write speed has a limit. You should get a ssd if you want faster transfers | 18:34 |
| fractal | ikonia: can you tell me how to check? anything beyond the GUI is probably something i don't know how to do | 18:34 |
| fractal | :( | 18:34 |
| ctjctj_ | GnomeKris, a couple of tissues can be used as ear plugs. But yes, those jet engines are loud. But it keeps your drives from burning up. | 18:34 |
| ikonia | fractal: there should be a text file in /var/log have a look at that | 18:34 |

| Rohan_Kumar | I've a 64 gb pendrive which was initially formatted as exfat | 18:35 |
| GnomeKris | ctjctj, not that I'm aware of. Just a simple highlight, cut, paste. | 18:35 |
| GnomeKris | Love me some gui. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | ctjctj_: he's using ext4 | 18:35 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : thank you. It is working | 18:35 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, good to hear that :) | 18:36 |
| Xpr_X0 | gonna take a long while though, cause I am sha1ing | 18:36 |
| genii | Rohan_Kumar: You might want to consider installing the package exfat-utils then | 18:36 |
| Xpr_X0 | thanks anyways | 18:36 |
| ctjctj_ | ikonia, *nods* if he is having disk issues and dollars issues then using btrfs with an SSD cache might give him resilience and speed. | 18:36 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, you should parallelize things a bit to make it faster, but it's definitely not trivial | 18:36 |
| ikonia | ctjctj_: way over kill | 18:36 |
| Rohan_Kumar | Yes, i installed it. Everything was running smoothly | 18:37 |
| ikonia | ctjctj_: he's just an impatient kid copying a load of data | 18:37 |
| GnomeKris | screw it, while I'm doing this cp, I'll write my 16.04.1 usb | 18:37 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: yeah, thats not going to help | 18:37 |
| Rohan_Kumar | then i did this stupid mistake by formatting it as fat32 | 18:37 |
| ikonia | putting more i/o on the system | 18:37 |
| GnomeKris | ikonia: impatient...yes, kid...no. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | GnomeKris: I can only assume from your behaviour and comments | 18:37 |
| ikonia | "but I want it now now now" | 18:37 |
| GnomeKris | 27 my man. got three kids of my own...Yet another reason this waiting isn't going to work. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | an adult would understand limitations | 18:38 |
| ctjctj_ | ikonia, *grins* good point. Inpatient is I. Having 15TB of spinning disk I know exactly how long it takes to replace a 3TB disk.... OUCH | 18:38 |
| Xpr_X0 | ale__ : you mean like using all the four cores of the cpu? isn't sha1sum command using them automatically? | 18:38 |
| Rohan_Kumar | genii: Now when i try to access the pendrive i get : http://pastebin.ca/3667153 | 18:38 |
| GnomeKris | See, when you assume. You make an ass out of u and me. | 18:38 |
| Rohan_Kumar | Please help me . I don't understand how to format it back to fat32 | 18:38 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, no, it shouldn't. You could easily guess by looking at the current cpu usage | 18:38 |
| ayoub | HI EVERYONE | 18:38 |
| Mishari | guys | 18:38 |
| Ben64 | Rohan_Kumar: if you formatted it fat32, why would you try to mount it as exfat | 18:38 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, if you have 4 cores you should launch 4 processes | 18:38 |
| Mishari | I just came here. | 18:39 |

| ale__ | Xpr_X0, yes | 18:39 |
| Rohan_Kumar | Ben64: I read somewhere on internet that fat32 are not compatible for disks > 32 gb | 18:39 |
| Xpr_X0 | but it is going to only make thing harder to manage a bit | 18:39 |
| Ben64 | Rohan_Kumar: not correct | 18:39 |
| Xpr_X0 | there is simply a lot of files | 18:40 |
| Rohan_Kumar | Ben64: sure about that? | 18:40 |
| elias_a | GnomeKris: Your problems make my struggle with my inboard diesel engine a light thrill! | 18:40 |
| Ben64 | Rohan_Kumar: yep | 18:40 |
| ale__ | Xpr_X0, are the files distributed evenly in subfolders? | 18:40 |
| Xpr_X0 | yes | 18:40 |
| OerHeks | Rohan_Kumar, you mean man 4 gb filesize on fat32 | 18:40 |
| ale__ | how many subfolders in first level? | 18:40 |
| Xpr_X0 | 20 | 18:41 |
| OerHeks | c/man/max | 18:41 |

| elias_a | GnomeKris: So your piece of junk gives you headache and you come here to complain? :P | 18:42 |
| fractal | i'll recreate the error now, and keep track of the TIME | 18:42 |
| genii | Rohan_Kumar: Also, looks like you're trying to mount the entire device,eg: sdb instead of a partition, like sdb1 | 18:42 |
| fractal | that will help me isolate at least what activity i am directly responsible for i suppose | 18:42 |
| Xpr_X0 | It is going to be over after about four hours. 170 GB of files... I am patient enough | 18:42 |
| Rohan_Kumar | genii: Now i formatted it to fat via executing : sudo mkfs.vfat -n "PENDRIVE" -I /dev/sdb | 18:43 |
| odroid | hi everyone | 18:43 |
| GnomeKris | elias_a I guess I'm just having a bad day | 18:44 |
| genii | Rohan_Kumar: The maion problem seems to be that you are formatting the raw device instead of making a partition on it then formatting that | 18:44 |
| elias_a | GnomeKris: Me too. Join the club! :D | 18:44 |

| elias_a | GnomeKris: Ok. I'll continue my browsing and fault-seeking. :) | 18:46 |
| Pici | ptah: bitchx has been deprecated for a while now. If you want to use a cli irc client, both irssi and weechat are under active development and can be found in the repositories. | 18:47 |

| Rohan_Kumar | genii: I partitioned my pendrive into two disks. | 19:12 |

| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: Yes | 19:14 |

| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: http://pastebin.ca/3667167 | 19:18 |

| FlipBill | Hmm.. how did you mkfs that drive? | 19:19 |
| rangergord | Hi. I'm trying to install a python library using pip. It fails cause it has a build step which, in Ubuntu 14.04, required python3-dev. I'm now on a brand-new 16.04, and if I try to apt-get install python3-dev, I get "The following packages have unmet dependencies: python3-dev : Depends: libpython3-dev (= 3.5.1-3) but it is not going to be installed. Depends: python3.5-dev (>= 3.5.1-2~) but it | 19:19 |
| rangergord | is not going to be installed. ". Should I be reporting a bug to the maintainers? | 19:19 |
| ctjctj_ | Rohan_Kumar, what does blkid /dev/sb2 say? | 19:19 |
| guest-pN44kG | llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll | 19:19 |
| rangergord | or is this something local | 19:20 |
| Rohan_Kumar | It just gives nothing | 19:20 |
| ctjctj_ | Rohan_Kumar, try with sudo but that implies to me that the mkfs did not take place. But I don't use MS filesystems so could be wrong | 19:21 |
| ctjctj_ | Sorry, that should have been blkid /dev/sdb2 | 19:21 |
| ctjctj_ | Left out the "d" the first time | 19:21 |
| Rohan_Kumar | ctjctj_:a fsck on the disk gives : http://pastebin.ca/3667169 | 19:21 |
| === auser_ is now known as chala | ||
| ctjctj_ | I would expect that. blkid will identify the UUID and filesystem type of some (most,all) block special devices. | 19:22 |
| FlipBill | There is apparent confusion about the type of FS in the partition. | 19:23 |
| FlipBill | fsck assumes ext2, earlier commands tried to operate as if it is exfat via FUSE. | 19:23 |
| FlipBill | What is your intention? What type of FS do you want to have? | 19:24 |
| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: Initially when i bought it today it was exfat, then i formatted it to fat, then ext2, then partitioned my usb and two fat32 partitions | 19:24 |
| ctjctj_ | Rohan_Kumar, what FlipBill is saying. blkid might help us to know what the drive/partition thinks its filesystem is. | 19:24 |
| Pici | rangergord: can you pastebin the output of apt-cache policy libpython3-dev python3-dev python3.5-dev please? | 19:24 |
| ctjctj_ | Rohan_Kumar, partitioning a drive as "fat32" does not place a fat32 filesystem on that partition. It just lets boot loaders know what to expect on that partition. | 19:25 |
| FlipBill | Rohan_Kumar, did you use a mkfs command of some kind? | 19:25 |
| ctjctj_ | FlipBill, he reported that he did it on the full drive before he created the partition. | 19:26 |
| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: I tried mkfs.exfat earlier | 19:26 |
| Rohan_Kumar | like this: sudo mkfs.exfat -n "PENDRIVE" /dev/sdb | 19:26 |
| FlipBill | ctjctj_, Ah yes, I see confirmend. | 19:26 |
| * Rohan_Kumar did it when it was not partitioned | 19:27 | |
| FlipBill | Rohan_Kumar, that's your problem. | 19:27 |
| ctjctj_ | Rohan_Kumar, did you "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" or "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb2"? | 19:27 |
| FlipBill | you formatted the drive extent, not the partition. | 19:27 |
| ctjctj_ | FlipBill, I concur. | 19:27 |
| Rohan_Kumar | ctjctj_: Yes i did that after partitioning | 19:27 |
| ctjctj_ | vfat could be fat | 19:27 |
| rangergord | Pici: sorry, I was away trying stuff. I fixed it, I had to install the latest Security/Recommended updates. apt-get update + upgrade showed no results, but that's because I had Security and Recommended unchecked in Software Updater. | 19:28 |
| FlipBill | Rohan_Kumar, it would likely have formatted it in such a way that the first partition is marked as occupying the entire drive. | 19:28 |
| FlipBill | That could get messy. | 19:28 |
| FlipBill | You need to start over and issue a mkfs for each partition inividually. | 19:28 |
| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: hmm | 19:28 |
| FlipBill | see the commands ctjctj_ gave you above. | 19:29 |
| alkisg | Rohan_Kumar: if you run mkfs /dev/sdb, you destroy the partition table, so there's no sdb1 or sdb2 anymore, you need to create a new partition table | 19:29 |
| Pici | rangergord: yeah, I had a feeling it was some sort of repository issue, glad you got it worked out. | 19:29 |
| FlipBill | alkisg, thaks, I neglected to mentioned that. | 19:30 |
| FlipBill | Start with fdisk, then do the two mkfs.vfat commands. | 19:30 |
| alkisg | :) | 19:30 |
| Rohan_Kumar | FlipBill: I did the fdisk part before.. | 19:31 |
| alkisg | First fdisk, then mkfs /dev/sdb ==> it destroys the results of fdisk, it's like you didn't do it at all | 19:32 |

| k1l | peppa: are you sure its not a malware tricking users into loading their malware software? because that is a known issue on a lot of warez sites | 21:24 |
| MonkeyDust | e-vent there's also #bash | 21:24 |
| e-vent | Why does this work: "if [ Something ] || [ Somethingelse ]" but if [ Something || Somethingelse ] doesn't. | 21:24 |
| e-vent | The former triggers on any content | 21:25 |
| e-vent | latter even* | 21:25 |
| peppa | The sit I am specifically having an issue with is xfinity tv so I don't think so | 21:25 |
| peppa | site* | 21:25 |
| \9 | e-vent: because [ is actually a program | 21:26 |
| \9 | e-vent: and || is a bash language construct | 21:26 |
| e-vent | What is the latter actually doing? | 21:26 |
| e-vent | Logically? | 21:26 |
| \9 | "[ Something" or "Somethingelse ]" | 21:27 |
| \9 | i think you can use double brackets [[]] to get around this? | 21:27 |
| \9 | since it's an actual language construct unlike [ | 21:27 |
| \9 | and when i say it's a program, there literally is a /usr/bin/[ | 21:28 |
| k1l | peppa: it works in chrome. so you need to tell them to unlock the regular linux flash version | 21:28 |
| e-vent | I'd search for it myself | 21:28 |
| e-vent | but I literally have no idea what to google | 21:28 |
| e-vent | Ok I see its like test? | 21:29 |
| e-vent | But surely that logically still would do what I expect | 21:29 |
| \9 | http://serverfault.com/questions/52034/what-is-the-difference-between-double-and-single-square-brackets-in-bash | 21:29 |
| peppa | running chromium but I will download latest chrome and try I guess. thx | 21:30 |
| e-vent | I get that [ is a program | 21:30 |
| \9 | well the thing is that if you use [, the || takes lesser precedence over the brackets | 21:30 |
| \9 | [ supports -o for a logical or | 21:30 |
| e-vent | but if I say to test, IS "FOO" "BAR" OR "BAR1" | 21:31 |
| e-vent | how is it saying yes? | 21:31 |
| \9 | e-vent: i can't tell since i don't know your use case | 21:32 |
| bprompt | e-vent: one may note, there's a #bash :) | 21:34 |
| e-vent | Yeah | 21:34 |
| e-vent | I'll ask em | 21:34 |
| e-vent | \9, in effect | 21:34 |
| e-vent | I am just comparing two strings | 21:34 |
| e-vent | So literally like FOO and BAR OR BAR1 | 21:35 |
| bprompt | e-vent: I do js, and the || would on that case, seems to do a logical check, to default to the latter, like js would, but in bash, as \9 said, I think you need to use the -o for that in the brackets | 21:35 |
| \9 | we figured as much but the question is why is it doing that | 21:35 |
| e-vent | I fixed it by having two sets of brackets and conditions with the OR between em | 21:36 |
| e-vent | but I#m asking #bash now | 21:36 |
| peppa | tried chrome. does not work. thx for the suggestion though. | 21:42 |
| bprompt | peppa: got url, so we can check? | 21:46 |

| k1l | packetswitcher: well, you could join #ubuntu-offtopic to chat and look here if you can help some people or ask if you need help. learning by doing. irc is not that difficult :) | 22:44 |
| ken_ | why is isp said linux is virus | 22:44 |
| squinty | packetswitcher, tried youtube? using "xchat tutorial" as search terms returns quite a number of hits. | 22:44 |
| k1l | ken_: this is the technical ubuntu support. | 22:44 |
| ken_ | ok | 22:45 |
| alesan | how can I tell ubuntu to only use 8.8.8.8 as DNS and not to use an internal one or one provided by DHCP? command line please | 22:45 |
| alesan | meaning, not through GUI packages that depend on the fact one has ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu etc | 22:45 |
| alesan | I'd assume there is such setting in the configuration files | 22:46 |
| curlyears | http://www.rodsbooks.com/gb-hybrid-efi/ < k1l: if you're interested, there isd a link tyo the article. It'd be interesting to hear your take on it. | 22:46 |
| k1l | curlyears: well, i am not too much into the uefi stuff. but often manufacturers fix some things with bios updates. | 22:47 |
| CodeMouse92 | On Ubuntu 16.04, using the default Nautilus file browser. When I right-click a file and go to "open with...", the submenu jumps back and forth. (Dual monitors, but never had this before today) | 22:48 |
| curlyears | K1l: yeah, well, the most recent update for this BIOS is dated 2013. :) | 22:48 |
| curlyears | :( | 22:48 |
| bulle | now when 16.04.1 is released, shouldnt i see an upgrade alternative on a 14.04 lts machine ? | 22:48 |
| k1l | !ltsupgrade | bulle | 22:49 |
| ubottu | bulle: The automatic LTS upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 was scheduled when 16.04.1 LTS was released on July 21st, but has been postponed for one week due to final bug testing. | 22:49 |
| bulle | k1l: ah, thanks, just have to wait a bit longer then. | 22:49 |
| curlyears | k1l: do you think it is worth doing a !ltsupgrade if one has recently installed the earlier 16.04? | 22:49 |
| k1l | curlyears: if you installed the 16.04 you will get 16.04.1 anyway. | 22:50 |
| curlyears | K1l: ah, OK. I wasn't quite clear on that point. | 22:51 |

| n1md4 | hi. i have network manager set such that it's only dhcp for IP, and have manually set dns. but the dns setting appears to be ignored - tested against dnsleak test. it has an entry for localhost in resolv.conf, but by manually editing it, with the dns server i have set in settings, only then does it work. | 22:58 |

| weblwabl | I have an .sh file i am trying to change the permissions on, chmod -x still wont allow me to execute the file | 23:44 |
| weblwabl | was wondering what the issue may be | 23:44 |
| orlock | weblwabl: Running it with the correct part? thats the error? | 23:44 |
| YankDownUnder | weblwabl: sudo chmod +x filename.sh ? | 23:44 |
| Ben64 | weblwabl: chmod +x, not -x | 23:44 |
| weblwabl | shit lol | 23:44 |
| weblwabl | thank you | 23:44 |
| R13ose | any thoughts on my question? | 23:48 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Black? No image whatsoever? | 23:49 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: yes Black, and no image | 23:49 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Have you restarted Plasma? As well - since I'm not familiar with what you're using, what version of Ubuntu and what version of Plasma/KDE are you using? | 23:50 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: I rebooted the machine and I got a black desktop. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and KDE Plasma Version: 5.6.5 | 23:52 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Right oh...and what happens when you attempt to change the desktop wallpaper to something else...? | 23:52 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: oh, this was a black background for some reason. It is better now. Thanks. | 23:53 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: Sometimes Plasma "sticks" or gets "stuck" as it were...hmm... | 23:54 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: how to fix that? | 23:54 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: For *me*, what I ended up doing was blowing out all of the "plasma" related "crap" in my ~./config and ~./local/share and ~./kde directories - upgrading Plasma via "backports" PPA's and re-configuring my entire KDE/Plasma desktop as per my liking...but again, that was *my* resolution to the issue. | 23:56 |
| R13ose | YankDownUnder: since I am not on 5.7.2, how do I upgrade to that? | 23:58 |
| YankDownUnder | R13ose: I'm on 5.6.5 - stable...I'll wait for the 5.7.2 stuff... | 23:59 |
