Any thoughts on why? I just installed all updated and restarted..... [01:44] sarek: Hmmm, what about: ls -l /var/spool/cron/crontabs/ [01:45] rypervenche: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/An0lXN5d/ [01:47] free -m gives 5642 as free mem [01:48] sarek: ls -l /usr/bin/crontab === IcedoveUser1 is now known as _memory_yancy_ [01:48] rypervenche https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/nboj4MmD/ [01:49] <_memory_yancy_> crontab -l [01:49] sarek: That's why.

I thought you may have done it to all of your binaries, but it doesn't look as though you have. [01:58] rypervenche: the problem with what i followed in the link above is '/etc/login.def' doesnt exist [01:58] he said 'Once you change your UID the login manager will stop listing that user. You have to change the UID_MIN option in /etc/login.def from 1000 to 5' [01:58] 00 [01:59] sarek: What is it you are trying to do? [01:59] exactly what the OP of that question was trying to do word for word [02:00] And the 'answer' worked [02:00] other than that one eror about/etc/login.def not existing [02:02] * [02:02] I can boot using 'nomodeset', but the video drops at boot time if I leave it. Even with using nomodeset, I have OpenGL 3.0 mesa support. Any idea as to what to look for? I read that amdgpu open source driver *requires* mode set. [02:03] (I'm trying to sort a video mode setting issue for Ubuntu 16.04) [02:07] is it impossible to use ati radeon hd 2400 xt/pro with ubuntu 15 or 16 ?

[02:26] on a new computer [02:26] depends [02:26] on a new computer, you might need to do other things [02:26] transfer means you would need to edit your guid's at the very least. [02:27] what? [02:27] can you define what depends mean? [02:27] Geom: not identical hardware, right? [02:27] reisio: no [02:28] so any customizations you've done to the kernel [02:28] telling additional modules to load, or not load [02:28] you may well not want that [02:28] you might further need new particular modules loaded [02:28] or it might just work [02:28] i have done nothing in kernel. its a stock install [02:28] there's no particular harm in swapping it in and seeing if it boots [02:29] So I'm setting up a PTPP vpn server. [02:29] the only thing i configured is smb [02:29] How could I go about making it authenticate against mysql? [02:29] reisio: il donthat first and report back [02:29] do that* [02:29] k [02:30] I'll be completely honest. I'm surprised no one has attacked me for using PTPP [02:31] Well the other option is L2TP [02:32] hard to have an interest at all after you said 'mysql' [02:33] What would you suggest. [02:34] mariadb would be a no brainer, postgresql if you want like, better [02:34] ok but that doesn't answer my question remotely. [02:35] course not, I think I led with it was hard to have an interest :D [02:35] I'd love to use PTPP as the goal isn't security. [02:35] The goal is to block ads thoguth sinkholing on the go [02:39] I migrated from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04, I was using proprietary AMD driver (fglrx), now I think it is using the amdgpu open source driver (Linux 4.4), but I'm loosing video unless I use the 'nomodeset' boot option. Any idea? === YankDownUnder is now known as YDU_Away [02:40] Apteryx: use nomodeset? [02:40] How can I install from a tar.xz package? More specifically, http://download.gna.org/wkhtmltopdf/0.12/0.12.3/wkhtmltox-0.12.3_linux-generic-amd64.tar.xz [02:41] It contains these directories - bin, include, lib and share [02:41] The so bin contains the binary. [02:41] I can move it to /opt and symlink it to /usr/bin [02:42] But what about the other directories? [02:42] Or am I completely going about it the wrong way? [02:42] mbtamuli12_: you want something called wkhtmltox? [02:43] Yes. [02:43] http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all&keywords=wkhtmltopdf [02:44] Well, it contains a older release. [02:44] ? [02:44] reisio: Does this not completely turn amdgpu off? [02:45] reisio: Well the repo contains an older version. I want to install the latest version.

[02:49] ok will try thanks [02:49] I trued just apt-add-repository with the http uri in there, but that didn't work [02:50] reisio: Well, I am writing a script to install this and if I can install from this and not from the repo, it can be made to work on multiple linux distros === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [02:51] mbtamuli12_: dunno who would use it [02:51] ok, so it looks like I could do it, but it won't auto download the key [02:52] ok is downloading it will take like one and a have hour [02:53] reisio: well, not everyone. But if you could even point to any document I would read it. [02:53] juan_, time enough for a jog! a [02:53] That would help me install this package [02:55] not at this time will live the computer on have to work tomorrow thanks for the help here is 11 pm [02:57] mbtamuli12_: it's in the repos.. [02:57] happy2help! juan_ [02:57] mbtamuli12_: It's bad form to have an installation script that ignores the distro's packages.

If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [04:36] ubuntu 16.04 xubuntu desktop [04:36] cfhowlett: i think it's safe to rule out player software as the problem [04:36] damn.......it froze with that to but this time it unfroze after a few seconds.....but no error messages [04:37] i had burg installed on top of grub because it looked better. it developed a problem where it would not show the chosen theme so i opted to reinstall it [04:37] after that i could not get back into my ubuntu installation [04:37] theres got to be something i can do [04:37] finally i was able to get back in after burning a live cd to 16.04.1 and reinstalling grub [04:38] now here is where the weird problem is, pulseaudio stopped working completely [04:38] r00t_, start your player from command line and see if you get error messages: vlc mediafile.mp4 [04:38] i have reinstalled it several times already [04:38] but still cannot get it to work [04:38] glitchd, stop reinstalling [04:39] im really trying to save this install because i dont have a seperate home partition nor do i have the external media to backup all of the info i have on the install [04:39] cfhowlett, 1 step ahead of ya [04:39] cfhowlett, im here arent I?

[04:40] i did a disk check already when i was having the same problem on 16.04. nothing came up [04:41] glitchd if you have your /home on a seperate partition you will still have your files and settings [04:42] jswagner thanks for your replies.....is there a command i can run that will tell me if its hardware related? [04:42] r00t_, seriously, i just said that i dont have home on a seperate partition.. [04:42] glitchd, do a "something else" installation, do NOT format your home or change the partition in any way. set the current /home as /home and you *should* be ok [04:42] does anybody know how to put a ubuntu you on Android M6 media boxes? [04:43] I know how to flash them, but I don't know what image I can use [04:43] is there a way to flush out the cause of my freezes? [04:43] logs [04:43] r00t_, should be logged. [04:43] okay, but i dont know what command to issue for that [04:44] on boot or shutdown, or both? [04:44] cfhowlett, i did do that, unchecked format, however when it was about to start it said that everything i folders like /var /other folder was going to be deleted, and im not sure if im gonig to lose data because of that or not. it didnt say it was going to format home. but im just being cautious [04:44] sorry ive been off linux a while im a bit rusty [04:44] glitchd, /var is a system folder not in the /home chain. [04:44] r00t_, no apology needed. [04:44] use cat filename [04:44] cfhowlett, right, but i just wanted to make sure before i shoot myself in the foot. [04:45] glitchd: just to be clear: you only have one partition and /home exists within it, correct? [04:45] or maybe if you type dmesg it will show [04:45] thanks man.....so what command do i need to enter? i have terminal open [04:45] well i have several partitions, ubuntu is on its own partition tho [04:45] cfhowlett, ^^ [04:46] so nobody knows how to put Ubuntu on one of these ARM boxes? [04:46] glitchd: one ubuntu partition, and /home exists within it? [04:46] mi11k1: probably not, there might be a dedicated channel for the hardware you're interested in [04:46] jswagner, yes [04:46] mi11k1, pretty esoteric scenario. ask again at reasonable intervals or see the dedicated channel for your hardware [04:47] jswagner, ubuntu and swap are both on an extended partition [04:47] guys i read a post online that points to a possible issue with my graphics card or driver......how do i found out if thats the case?

[04:53] i didnt install any...........and i believe so but im not entirely sure [04:53] i went into the sources and enabled some [04:53] but it should be noted that nvidia did get installed on here [04:53] nvidia xserver [04:54] but i didnt install that [04:54] install nvidia-detect [04:54] I think it will tell you what other packages you need [04:54] nevermind it's in intel [04:54] it says unable to locate package [04:55] nvidia's another company has nothing to do with your card [04:55] okay what do i need to do? btw i looked on software update app and it says no additional drivers needed [04:57] doesn',t ubuntu have some third-party driver tool [04:58] like a GUI that installs the proprietary drivers over River [04:58] in the menu It's called driver manager [04:59] its r00t [04:59] system froze again [04:59] had to do hard reboot [04:59] type sudo driver-manager [04:59] :( [04:59] k [04:59] nexrb [05:00] says command not found [05:00] install it [05:01] unable to locate package [05:01] kubuntu-driver-manager [05:01] put --no-install-recommends if tiu want [05:01] installing now [05:02] didnt see that in time [05:02] is it bringing a 1000 of its frinds tinthe party [05:02] keeps saying unknown media type [05:03] where does it say that? [05:04] said that during install [05:04] it installed right? [05:04] dont think it did cause i issued the command to launch it and nothing [05:05] did you type sudo driver-manager ? [05:05] you have x running right ? [05:05] yes says command not found [05:06] sudo ubuntu-drivers list [05:06] start typing driver and push tab [05:06] tgere you go, sorry i dont use ubuntu [05:07] Hi [05:07] still nothing [05:07] im sorry :( [05:07] not trying to be a pain [05:07] i just really want this issue fixed [05:08] In a terminal, type: sudo ubuntu-drivers list => that shows the drivers required for the system. If you want to install them, type: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall => follow the prompts, probably have to reboot the system after that.

[05:27] orangespark, so what tool is NOT showing you what you want to see? [05:27] when insatlling ubuntu [05:28] it shows no operating system found [05:28] magic, voila! [05:28] Lol looked through over 22 pages of info. Also read the grub manuel [05:28] and when i select something else [05:28] i should be getting a partition table right [05:28] dragon get rescutux [05:28] in my case only one single 500gb partition is showinf up [05:28] i did run a similiar command but with the wrong handle [05:29] please forgive me [05:29] orangespark: click on try ubuntu [05:29] !YankDownUnder did command without the && im sorry [05:29] r00t__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:29] i have done that [05:29] in [05:29] orangespark: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [05:30] okay wait [05:30] its stuck [05:30] !YankDownUnder it didnt ask me to reboot [05:30] r00t__: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [05:30] If I could get to tty I would be fine.

[05:32] will dd erase them? [05:32] haha [05:32] good chance [05:32] r00t__: No, I'm just moving slowly, bro...patience and step-by-step [05:32] r00t__, stop putting ! before names - that is a bot trigger [05:32] totally stuck [05:33] please give me sometime [05:33] pls help [05:33] need to restart it [05:33] orangespark: ok [05:33] r00t__: So you've done the "updates" - or so you believe, yes? [05:33] hi, I'm trying to install linux kernel 4.7.0 on an ubuntu 14 LTS server. So far all attemts result into booting into busybox, with the message that the hard drive (/dev/dis/by-uuid/....) cannot be found. the xenial kernel (4.4) boots fine. Any idea what I'd be missing? [05:33] !patience | pvdd, ! [05:33] pvdd, !: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [05:33] YankDownUnder yes [05:33] newchannels making my eyes bleed [05:33] r00t__: Right oh...so, in a terminal, can you type: sudo ubuntu-drivers list [05:33] exit [05:34] r00t__: And just wait a tick...it takes a moment to "search"....so be patient... [05:34] Mi11k1 I will try that. However, I have no disk or usb drive to create a bootable os with or rescue grub. [05:34] YankDownUnder just ran and waited. no drivers came up [05:35] r00t__: So it returned to the prompt? [05:35] YankDownUnder yes [05:35] r00t__, can you post output from lsb_release -a [05:35] That is why I am asking how I could just merge my boot with the file named temp boot [05:35] r00t__: Coolbeans. So now what can you tell us about your system - what type of graphics card do you have? [05:35] r00th4ck3r@r00th4ck3r-HP-15-Notebook-PC:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS Release: 14.04 Codename: trusty [05:36] YankDownUnder intel® Bay Trail x86/MMX/SSE2 [05:36] !kernel | gvandeweyer also consider asking the #ubuntu-server channel [05:36] gvandeweyer also consider asking the #ubuntu-server channel: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [05:36] r00t__: Ah...so you're on 14.04...you've not moved up to 16.04...and so, WHEN did your system start locking up? Was it directly after you installed Ubuntu? [05:37] Back [05:37] YankDownUnder no....it was after i started using it. i was on 16.04 but i downgraded because i was having the exact same problem [05:37] cfhowlett: It was a mainline deb that I installed. I'd like to try it to check if a bug is resoved (mentioned that it should in 4.7). [05:37] r00t__: "Downgraded" - what - you wiped the system and started over from scratch? [05:38] YankDownUnder yes. i downloaded the iso for my current version and did a fresh install [05:38] r00t__: Right oh...and can you tell me how much RAM you have in this system? [05:39] YankDownUnder 4GB. 3.8 usable [05:39] YankDownUnder it was the gnome version i tried with 16.04 and thats the version i was also having this issue on [05:39] guys [05:40] i have a windows live usb [05:40] now [05:40] r00t__: Yes - because the Intel graphics card is sharing the RAM...hence 3.8gb instead of 4gb...so what can you tell me about when it "locks up"? What are you doing when it does that? [05:40] orangespark, windows? this is ubuntu support ... [05:40] when i used bootrec /scanos [05:40] YankDownUnder last time i was on here......the past few times before that i was watching a movie and it froze [05:40] i want to install ubuntu [05:41] r00t__, this is hapend only with Kodi ? [05:41] now in the windows when i tried bootrec it shows no windows installations [05:41] YankDownUnder i tried to access the console and nothing [05:41] orangespark, bootrec is a windows tool and is not supported here [05:41] iulian no, but most of the times it happened i happen to have been using that [05:42] In on #grub asking also [05:42] orangespark, suggestion: go to windows and sort your windows issues first. it will make ubuntu installation much easier [05:42] YankDownUnder when it locks up the mouse and keyboard fail to work [05:42] r00t__: IRC isn't very "intensive" as far as applications go, however, running an app that is processing a video, well, that's a bit intensive...that being said, something you might want to consider is trying a different "Desktop" - you've tried Unity and Gnome - both of which are relatively heavy handed on using the CPU...there is LXDE and XFce - they're much lighter on CPU usage...has anyone mentioned that to you yet? [05:42] r00t__: Yeah - I've "seen this" before - here, and also here at home...with "low end" client machines... [05:43] can you u give me the chanel name [05:43] orangespark, ##windows [05:43] YankDownUnder i was already familiar with those desktop environments but to be honest i didnt think to try them [05:43] r00t__, i google it a bit they have addons called Exodus it's buggy [05:44] iulian ran it on tons of linux systems. never any issues [05:45] r00t__: This is something that you might possibly consider - and either of those desktops can be installed right over the top of what you've already got...easy done... [05:47] r00t__, http://bestforkodi.com/kodi-crashing-fix/ [05:47] yankdownunder sorry system froze again [05:48] YankDownUnder Im installing lxde now and im gonna try it out [05:48] r00t2: So, if you want to at least TRY to get some stability, you can open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ==> which, when it's done doing what it does, you can simply logout, and then login to a "lighter" desktop - and give that a go... [05:49] r00t2: LXDE or XFce - doesn't matter - they're lighter on the system, bro...and at least you can start to narrow things down...as well, in all honesty, the machine you've got isn't truly a "work horse" as it were. [05:50] YankDownUnder brb gonna log into lxde. ill come back here and let you know if it fixes the problem [05:50] YankDownUnder and thank you for your time and patients [05:50] i tried ##windows [05:50] r00t2: Do yer thang. [05:50] its utterly useless [05:50] only u guys can help me [05:50] they are utterly useless [05:52] Lol take it as no one here knows grub commands well enough to help. [05:52] dragon5611: Patience. [05:53] I have it. Just been at it learning for two days straight. [05:54] dragon5611: What exactly is the issue you're having? [05:54] i'm gonna dd my whole ssd (cause of boot nd windows b*shit causing low start), but i'm worried about my uefi vars [05:54] My boot files are in a folder called temp boot in the same file system. [05:54] will dd erase them? [05:55] and brick my computer? [05:55] Wanting to just merge the contents of temp boot to my boot folder in grub. [05:55] YankDownUnder so far no freeze [05:56] is there anyway to fix the mbr of windows from ubuntu [05:56] i have a live cd [05:56] i even opened kodi and played a movie.....only let it play for a couple minutes tho so that doesnt mean im out of the woods but so far so good [05:56] dragon5611: A bit of a dangerous operation - I'm not going to ask the logic behind that, but I do wonder if you realise how tricky this can be, hmm? [05:56] r00tAgain: Keep plugging away... [05:57] Very actually [05:57] YankDownUnder im gonna stay in this room so i can update you....thank you so much for having the patients to try to help me [05:57] dragon5611: Have you thought about using "grub-customizer"? [05:57] Since I actually made the mistake of moving them to the file called temp boot. Lol [05:57] to repair master boot record, reformat hard drive to NTFS filesystem using Gparted [05:58] dragon5611: Take a look at this, mate... http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-16-04-lts/ [05:58] there is windows which i need [05:58] i cant format that [05:58] Lol well I have no disk or sub. I'm stuck in the grub menu. Which means no access to tty1-7 [05:58] and i dont think my mbr exists in c: at all [05:59] somehow its installed in the one key recovery drive [05:59] If I had tty at start instead of grub I could just manually connect and rd download [05:59] which is 7-00mb in size [05:59] if your master boot record is messed up, your windows install is the least of your worrieds [05:59] Or usb [05:59] with a messed up mbr you wont have a functional OS [05:59] dragon5611: So you don't have a USB or anything that you can boot to? [06:00] sorry ill let yank help you [06:00] Not currently. Hence why I have racked my brain going through solely grub command [06:01] dragon5611: Fair enough, fair enough...hang on a sec... [06:02] All my files to boot are in the folder called temp boot. Can even use ls (hd0,msdos) \ and see at the very end the file. Appreciate you.

[06:04] ls (hd0,msdos1) / [06:04] Lol [06:04] Well manually [06:04] i dont know [06:05] there is a bootmgr file and other boot folders in the onekey recovery drive [06:05] dragon5611: So in doing an "edit" on the grub boot options, have you tried to add the new path to the boot entry/entries? [06:06] Before I rebooted I was to move g parted to my boot. Was setting up my partitions at boot. [06:06] Tried [06:06] Ile tell you the error as well as what is entered [06:06] dragon5611: And you have NO means by which to boot - at all - with an Ubuntu USB or CD/DVD...? [06:07] None [06:07] Lol it's a harsh situation [06:07] dragon5611: And do you have a means by which to obtain something? [06:07] Not currently. [06:07] dragon5611: Because you're kinda put yourself between a rock and a hard place, right now, ya know... [06:08] Ok in the command line. I have currently as my location. [06:08] is swap partition can be common between fedora and ubuntu [06:09] dragon5611: IF it was me, I'd be doing my best to edit the paths for the bootloader/chainloader in grub -> to point to where the stuff is in "temp boot" - but you're going to be stuck - again - because you're going to have to run "grub-update" or "grub-install" - which you're not going to be able to do...unless you can get to a point where you can "chroot" into your old system and have access to the proper binaries...does that make [06:09] sense? [06:10] Linux. /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-76-generic [06:10] In that line and initrd line [06:11] I should be able to simply replace/ /boot with temp boot [06:12] It does [06:12] dragon5611: Without ME knowing exactly where things are, just make sure the path(s) are absolutely correct, hmm...

[06:16] windows 8 [06:18] orangespark: Same thing, same issue. You're not able to see or do anything with those partitions because of the fact that "Windows" is using a modified "hibernate" on the drives - which therefore locks them from any other OS (except a Windows OS)...so you have to boot into Windows, turn off all hibernation - and probably best to do a manual "chkdsk -f" on the drive as well - just to be on the safe side. [06:19] chkdsk -f from live usb ubuntu [06:19] terminal [06:19] A? [06:19] *? [06:20] orangespark: Nah, bro - you're going to have to actually boot into Windows - and turn off hibernation (powercfg -h off) - can't really be safely done any other way, mate. [06:21] after turning of hibernate then what [06:21] there is a dos partn [06:21] in which dos came preinstalled [06:22] with the lap [06:22] when i select all my files and folders in my home folder, it takes about 7Gs, but when I right click thunar says that the space usage is 13 gigs :s [06:22] orangespark: When you've done that - and, like I said, run the "chkdsk -f c:" on the system, you can then safely and easily install Ubuntu and you won't have any issues with seeing the "Windows" partitions and whatnot...and grub won't have any issues trying to establish "boot" installation - does that make sense? [06:22] is it possible that the hidden files double the space usage [06:22] ruijanpallas: Yes. Open a terminal and type: du -sch [06:23] ruijanpallas: THAT will tell you the true usage in your "home" directory. [06:23] ya [06:23] thanks [06:23] let me see [06:23] orangespark: Do what you need to do...lemme know how it goes, bro. [06:24] i think im just gonna go back to windows [06:24] my system is still freezing [06:24] and im fed up with it [06:24] r00t_: Fair enough.

I'll assume you've turned off "hibernation", yes? [06:28] yes [06:28] orangespark: Cool bananas... [06:29] so what is the desired output of the chkdsk [06:29] which is a green signal [06:29] can I have a small partition in my ram? [06:29] orangespark: Si. I mean Oui. I mean Da. I mean Ja.

I cannot read minds, I do not know the past, nor the future. I can only go on exactly what you tell me. Secondly, I do this for a living - exactly what I described to you enables me to do dual-boot systems for clients. That being said, is there something I do not know - something you're possibly not telling me that would shed a huge amount of light on this [06:47] entire situation? [06:47] hmm, i may have messed up with playonlinux, hold on and i baste [06:47] ruijanpallas: holdinnng [06:48] i will pastebin it [06:48] orangespark: great thanks [06:48] Well.

[06:48] http://pastebin.com/M3gaVVtU [06:49] pastebin.com/0rmw8RLv [06:50] got it? [06:50] sec [06:50] i have shed more light i gues yank [06:50] :D [06:51] orangespark: So the /dev/sda - your "Windows drive" - you're not installing on that drive, right? [06:51] or is that just the way playonlinux works that it needs to stackup like that [06:52] Hi [06:52] ruijanpallas: what's the problem? the directory structure? because it looks fine [06:52] to me [06:52] Where get tiny WM on shell? [06:52] i have only sda [06:52] so [06:52] i am installing in sda [06:52] i have unallocated space too [06:52] for ubuntu [06:53] orangespark: So you're either going to have to delete a partition or resize a partition - which you would use "Gparted" to do that... [06:53] i was thinking of creating a new one during ubntu installation [06:53] b4r, yea I guess I'm reading it wrong then :s [06:53] orangespark: yeah you got like 500 million sectors left yeah? [06:53] ya [06:53] ruijanpallas: maybe idk too much at all of PoL [06:53] orangespark: You can't create a new one if there's already a zillion partitions - so you have to verify which of the partitions you have that you can either delete or resize... [06:54] how much is the limiti [06:54] i am afraid that deleting one partiotion make my windows unaccesable [06:54] there's a limit? (even with extended partitions?) [06:54] Lol as long as you have the space [06:54] yeah [06:54] thought so [06:54] orangespark: Look - if you resize /dev/sda6 (150gb) to give you, say, 50gb, that would be more than enough space to have a good Ubuntu installation...hmm? [06:54] Where get tiny WM on shell? [06:54] Nika7: google [06:55] ya [06:55] Nika7: i3 / dwm [06:55] but that would make another partition [06:55] which u said i cant [06:55] to make a partitoin i already have 45 gb unallocated [06:56] orangespark: If you leave the "table" the way it is, no, you can't do anything at all. However, if you resize a partition, you can (or, well, linux can) have the system create the required partitions to run a valid system. [06:56] how much [06:57] Lol I tried to figure out one night how to rewrite and delete data from a dvd-rom. Know it's not possible. However, figure anything is in the realm of possibility. [06:57] i dont understand i already resized my partitoin [06:57] and got 45 gb of it [06:57] orangespark: Like I said - if you can free up (by resizing) 50gb - or even 20gb - that should be more than enough. [06:57] for doing the same [06:57] actually [06:57] Gparted is easy to use. [06:57] that 200gb u r seeing is wrong [06:57] i did shrink it [06:57] ro get 45gb [06:58] i dont knw why its not showing up [06:58] orangespark: Then what is the new partition layout? I'm only seeing what you pasted. [06:58] ya [06:58] me too [06:58] i am surprisde [06:58] orangespark: If you've created space by resizing, then Gparted should be able to create a partition in the unused space.... [06:59] Where get tiny WM on shell? [06:59] Only problem I seen was not making two initial partitions of equal size to work with from installation. [06:59] and in ubuntu live usb [06:59] its showing the partitoin resized [06:59] but nothing on the partition table which i pasted [06:59] why is it so [06:59] it should be showing 160gb [06:59] b4r, the problem was that I was confused what is taking so much space, but maybe it's just the Pol works, the folder structure [07:00] Then you are stuck with one big partition unless you make a live g parted CD with a iso [07:00] but its showing 200 [07:00] the way* [07:00] why [07:01] orangespark: Did you create a new partition in the free space? [07:02] no [07:02] Either way appreciate the help. Lol I know how to make a live cd. Think more or less I made the mistake of moving my boot files to learn how to use grub. [07:03] orangespark: 1.) You've got this huge hunk of free space now, right? so 2.) You need to create a partition in that free space so that 3.) The installer will see it and do something with it...easy as. [07:03] so you are saying that creating a new partition will fix everything [07:03] i mean its not showing any of the windows partitions [07:03] orangespark: Create a partition. Click apply. Exit Gparted. Start the installation. Await any errors. [07:04] i created windows bootable usb on linux, and i got error while trying to boot from my usb later on, why? i am using disk creator, and from terminal command also [07:04] please help [07:04] okay [07:04] i will try that too [07:04] craptalk: have you try make the usb using Rufus? [07:04] orangespark: are you in the ubuntu live usb? [07:04] hold on.. [07:05] ya [07:05] ok, pastebin sudo parted -l [07:05] you fixed the windows install and ubuntu doesn't show windows in the installer? [07:07] okay [07:07] pastebin.com/cdZ8rNhp [07:07] yea now I get it :) no problems after akk [07:08] all [07:08] orangespark: Did you create another NTFS partition?

[07:09] i am going to create one [07:09] from 45gb as yank said [07:09] but you said hold on [07:09] so [07:09] i waited [07:09] b4r, I was just reading it wrong *sigh, thanks for help [07:09] orangespark: Make sure it's not NTFS... [07:09] back to diablo -> [07:10] ext4 then [07:10] orangespark: your whole partition table is pretty screwed [07:10] ya i know [07:10] orangespark: Make space, create a new ext4 partition, click "apply", exit Gparted, start the install [07:10] orangespark: there are overlapping partitions [07:11] do you have stuff you need on windows? [07:11] so i have to do something abt it [07:11] i mean its gonna make trouble ahead [07:11] yeah [07:11] gparted shows error cant have overla[pping partitions [07:12] what should i do [07:12] do you need anything from the windows install? [07:13] ya [07:13] u mean a clean isntall [07:13] install [07:14] yeah [07:14] so i will have to start with everything from the start then [07:15] so tell me what should i do [07:15] yeah, copy the stuff you have on it and fresh install then copy back [07:15] back up everything [07:15] Hi guys, I can't write the letter "r" in my bash terminal all of a sudden? How can i fix or locate the error?

[08:25] dragon5611, this! ^^^^ [08:26] Ok we need to,back it up [08:27] Editing commands on grub [08:27] Ubuntu [08:27] Hitting e [08:27] dragon5611, single [08:27] words make [08:27] no sense. STOP using the enter key!! [08:28] Guiding you as to what I'm doing [08:28] don't [08:29] dragon5611, dont do that here, the users and the channel bots wont like it a bit [08:40] when i start ubuntu it stay in the starting screen and dont go to login screen [08:44] ubuntu 16 freez at starting screen === covey_ is now known as jtfidje [08:47] anyone have any experience with working with HID generic devices?

[08:58] MrsMAN: I think you're talking in the wrong channel [08:58] ammusement is irrelevant [08:58] But needed. Still here to help. [08:59] Ammusement is not required. [08:59] Decided I am just going into,town tomorrow and getting a usb [09:00] USB is irrelevant. [09:00] Then I will just use the old co computer and make a bootable ubuntu [09:00] Xp [09:00] MrsMAN: we don't need to know this === MrsMAN is now known as dragon5611 [09:01] Yeah mrsman your spamming [09:02] Lol [09:02] I'm not laughing [09:02] stop messing around [09:02] I am [09:02] can i also keep my one key recovery functionality [09:02] orangespark: one key recovery ? [09:02] how is that provided ? [09:03] i have a one key recovery with lap [09:03] and i am entering bios using that [09:03] right, and how is that provided [09:03] orangespark: after messing with partitions it usually stops working (usually) [09:03] otherwise i am not shown any button to enter bios in normal startup [09:04] orangespark: which laptop is it? [09:04] will that show up after clean installation eric^^ [09:04] orangespark: usually no, you have to make a recovery usb/hdd using the windows tools [09:05] lenovo [09:06] you can enter the bios with f12 or f8 i think [09:06] maybe f10 [09:06] Downloaded Google Chrome off of Google's website on Ubuntu 16.04 running Unity. However when I right click on the Chrome icon in Launcher, it doesn't have the options of "New Window," "New Incognito Window" [09:06] the button will always work i guess, but you can't use the actual recovery [09:06] How can I fix this? [09:07] i dont want the recovery [09:07] becoz frequently lately [09:07] my lap gets stuck at the lenovo screen [09:07] on startup [09:08] at that time i try to turn on using one key [09:08] it starts up [09:08] its a big help for me [09:08] either should have an alternative for that [09:08] starts up goes to windows and works? [09:08] ya [09:08] i mean [09:08] firrst a menu shows up [09:08] bios setup [09:08] bios devices [09:09] system recovery [09:09] normal startuo [09:09] these options are listed then i select normal startup and i get into windows [09:09] that's odd [09:10] is uefi disabled in the bios? [09:10] f12/f10 doesn't give you the bios menu? [09:14] Hello [09:22] is there a way to disable a service (such as mysql) and have it manually started when I need it, and that does not interfere with apt upgrade? I tried using systemctl disable, which works perfect for disabling, but causes dpkg to fail as it expects to be able to start the service on upgrades... [09:23] if the service is disabled, packages shouldn't need to start it unless there is a real need (eg: a table upgrade) [09:24] ikonia: yet it does. perhaps this is a bug in mysql, but it requires to be able to restart and run the service when upgrading [09:24] sveinse: have you actually looked at the package manifest to see if the start is forces, or just a poorly written condition [09:25] nope [09:26] nothing works [09:32] will that be a prob [09:32] if i am nto able to use function keys to get into biod [09:32] bios [09:33] after clean isntallation === samy is now known as Guest67178 [09:33] installation and dual boot [09:58] hey, after upgrade to 16.04 get that error: error while loading shared libraries: libnl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [09:59] installing libnl-3-dev not help [10:02] Does ''ldconfig -p'' list it? [10:05] updatedb && locate libnl.so [10:05] t3ch, does this bug prevent networking? [10:06] when try to run airodump says this [10:06] will check locate and link another to that location if exists [10:07] oh aircrack, i leave you to it. [10:09] hey everybody please listen to Jason Bandy's EFNet News Episode 3 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib_uIDKF5cU - A weekly newscast covering the happenings on the best network in the world.. the ERIS FREE NETWORK!!! [10:18] please join #efnetnews on efnet to chat [10:19] hi there, anyone using keepass with google drive sync? i can't find what they mean by keepass UUID on the google console [10:20] !spam | JBandy [10:20] JBandy: Please don't spam [10:21] Anyone know if vmdk files are repairable? [10:23] julius_, here is some option https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2019259 [10:23] themagmaforce: sidenote: you should us keepassx instead of keepass [10:24] julius_: depends on how you broke it === kip_ is now known as kip_brb [10:25] MrElendig: but keepassx does not seem to have plugins so i can use in chrome and sync with google drive [10:25] Well I'm running CentOS 7 on VM, was going to boot up today and VMware just says that the file isn't a virtual disk. [10:26] julius_, on an Ubuntu host? [10:26] Running mint atm. [10:26] oh, worse. [10:27] themagmaforce: don't need any plugin [10:27] just have your google drive mounted somewhere in your fs and point keepassx(2) at it [10:28] (keepass has some epic secuirty fails in their update feature currently) [10:31] MrElendig: is there anyway to have only a file from google drive synced? [10:32] someone have proably written some daemon to do that [10:32] but just using the google drive gvfs thing would work fine too [10:32] since it would mount the drive as a virtual fs instead of actually copying everything to your disk [10:33] speed will ofcourse be limited by your network connection but that isn't a problem when it comes to keepassx [10:35] why would my ssh host keys get corrupted? I have a raspberry pi with ubuntu core running from a USB [10:35] is it cause for concern? [10:35] dany-web-dev: because sd cards sucks [10:35] sd card/usb sticks [10:35] that is the most likely cause [10:35] MrElendig: why specifically ssh host keys? [10:36] dany-web-dev: totally random? [10:36] just one bit that falls .. [10:36] check your logs for I/O errors or fs corruption [10:36] I've got a 750ti coming soon, I've been away from desktop linux for years so what would be the appropriate ways to install the correct drivers in 2016? [10:36] moijk: install nvidia [10:37] moijk: I hope you didn't pay more than 50€ for that card btw [10:37] sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [10:37] or list first, but autoinstall selects the optimal driver > sudo ubuntu-drivers list [10:37] MrElendig: https://www.google.cz/webhp?q=linux%20io%20corruption%20logs [10:37] no result [10:38] I used fsck before, [10:38] dany-web-dev: what [10:38] I don't know if it's relevant on USBs though [10:38] read *your* logs, don't google [10:38] MrElendig: I'm googling how to do that [10:38] what logs? [10:38] dmesg -H is a good start [10:39] journalctl is another [10:39] oh, there are no errors in that [10:39] dmesg only shows for the current boot [10:39] I know [10:39] that's why I said [10:39] I just rebooted it [10:39] journalctl can list older ones [10:40] the -b flag is useful [10:40] or you can filter by string or date [10:40] previous boot: journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot [10:40] MrElendig: journactl isn't installed on ubuntu core [10:40] or -2 if you want to look further back [10:40] how do you find a command with apt? [10:40] I know with dnf you can do something like `dnf list ` and it will find the package which provides that command [10:41] check dmesg ? [10:41] dany-web-dev: of what's installed or of everything including what is not installed? [10:42] sveinse: from the repos (not installed ofc) [10:42] dany-web-dev: I have to admit I prefer using http://packages.ubuntu.com/ :P [10:43] sveinse: why would you feel ashamed of that, just blame FOSS for writing shit sw [10:43] sudo journalctl --verify PASS: /system.journal PASS: /system.journal [10:43] dany-web-dev: eh, come again? What has that to do about this? [10:44] MrElendig: what does that mean? [10:44] VLC question: How do you fix audio streaming lag? [10:44] sveinse: wrong channel sry [10:45] what would be a good bittorrent client? I'm used to utorrent on the mac. [10:45] cuboid: You getting skipping and lagging? [10:45] OerHeks: `Specifying boot ID has no effect, no persistent journal was found` [10:46] moijk: I use vuze leap. [10:47] moijk: Transmission. [10:47] dany-web-dev: as for your question. apt-file find somefile.h lists the packages that somefile.h provides. You probably have to install apt-file and run apt-file update first [10:47] sveinse: ah, thanks [10:47] I used apt file before [10:47] to find header files [10:47] dany-web-dev: if you are running a up to date version of ubuntu then you do have journalctl [10:48] MrElendig: yea I know now [10:48] MrElendig: I'm running `badblocks` now [10:49] Hacker: now hackers allowed sry [10:49] Let me build on that question about apt. I notice a shift from apt-get over to apt (don't quite know when). When would one run apt vs apt-get? [10:49] * dany-web-dev sets mode +b Hacker === Hacker is now known as Guest4431 [10:49] !ubuntucore [10:49] Ubuntu Core is a rendition of Ubuntu with transactional updates using "snappy". For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see http://www.ubuntu.com/snappy/ [10:49] OerHeks: no snappy [10:49] cuboid: You might want to try and change the buffer by going into preferences > input/codecs > Acess modules > File and change the Caching value to maybe 2000 or 1000 [10:49] hyyyy [10:49] How can I completely get rid of CUDA and anything related to Nvidia. I've had my fill with this nonsense, and sporadic boot crashes. [10:50] uname -a Linux rpi.local 4.1.19v7-aufs #1 SMP Sun Mar 13 12:48:13 CET 2016 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux [10:50] multifractal, go into the drivers menu and set nouveau again, then remove nvidia* like the way you installed it. [10:51] dany-web-dev, whatever, arm and core is not supported here official. [10:54] OerHeks the way I installed it was the apt-get approach described here http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-getting-started-guide-for-linux/#ubuntu-installation [10:54] I'm getting a "unabled to find valid context" from gdm, solutions online do not seem to help (ie: restorecon -R / and filefix restore) ; any other ideas? [10:54] ubuntu rocks [10:54] OerHeks: But when I ctrl+f that document for "uninstall" it's all related to the "runfile installation" approach. [10:55] multifractal, uh oh, from their site, i hope theu uinstall a uninstall package too [10:55] c/theu/they [10:55] OerHeks what other way is there? [10:55] OerHeks: uhm, what's that to do with anything? [10:56] dany-web-dev: badblocks is not that usefull on flash based devices [10:56] Can I somehow just "purge" everything nvidia related? [10:56] MrElendig: thanks, that's what I was thinking [10:56] dany-web-dev: due to how the controllers works [10:56] MrElendig: how about SSDs though? [10:56] I'd be happy if I never saw anything related to Nvidia on my machine ever again. [10:56] also on moderns spinners badblocks are not actually a good metric for drive health anyway [10:56] dany-web-dev: ssds are flash based [10:57] but they operate differently [10:57] flash assigns to 1st available [10:57] dany-web-dev: and have even more aggresive wear leveling etc [10:57] nand assigns with respect to cell health [10:57] at least that's what I was taught [10:57] you will have a lot of errors on a ssd, but the firmware, hopefully, will hide them [10:58] sidenote: many smaller sd cards and the like are actually large ones just with a lot of corruption mapped away [10:58] yeah I know, I remember when SSDs were first introduced, they had 10% more actual space, all just to accommodate 1 year low-usage wear :D [10:59] is it safe to assume this is stuck if it's been doing it for 30 minutes?

[11:02] wineserver is indeed using a decent amount of resources for doing a whole lot of nothing [11:02] !wine [11:02] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [11:03] also I can't make any sense of this debug info [11:03] Raxz: There is a #playonlinux channel, if you didn't know... [11:03] I didn't know [11:04] Raxz: :) Now ya do. [11:04] julius_: I get lagging. It will pause every 10 seconds then keep playing again. [11:04] I have the error messages, if that helps anyone [11:04] ty [11:04] Raxz: yw [11:04] Increasing caching improves it, but I have to increase it to like 60000 to get through one 3 minute song. But if I have video enabled (on low quality) it has no issues whatsoever. [11:05] completely on-topic [11:06] In case anyone's interested I went to additional drivers, re-enabled the nouveau one. Then I did `sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove cuda`. Now laptop seems to boot without the stupid drama. [11:06] does canonical do user testing? [11:06] i'm trying to mount google drive using gvfs, but i get "invalid mount spec" using "gvfs-mount google-drive://...@gmail.com" do i need to install gvfs-google? and if yes, where can i find it for ubuntu? [11:06] like do they have a department where they have random people come and use ubuntu for the 1st time [11:08] #ubuntu-beginners used to be that first step [11:08] themagmaforce: Install and use "grive2" instead. === zippy is now known as Guest73097 === YankDownUnder is now known as YDU_Away [11:18] OerHeks: hahaha, no wonder the desktop experience is atrocious [11:22] gdrive seems to be for a full sync, i just want to mount (or sync, but prefer mount) a single folder or specific files [11:22] *grive === kip_brb is now known as kip_ [11:42] MrElendig: i know the 750ti is old, but it is the best low profile i found. [11:42] there is not repo with gvfs-google ? [11:43] moijk: shops seem to love to overprice it [11:43] moijk: there is a low profile 1060 btw [11:43] zotac iirc [11:44] hmm not zotac, they only did the short one [11:44] hi I have a poweredge 2900 and need to add extra space [11:45] what do you suggest SAS, SATA ? WD Red Caviar, Seagate Cheeta or SSD ? [11:46] NVMe, mikatone, but this is more subject for ##hardware [11:46] mikatone: if you need space, spinners [11:46] mikatone: 4TiB is usually the best price/space atm [11:47] Sorry not following you suggesting 4Tb because it's large? [11:47] This server runs 24/7 [11:47] MrElendig, sure they overprice. but it fits my need and i just have to live with overspending a few euro on an old card. [11:47] raid 1 at least [11:48] MrElendig, there will be a low profile 480 radeon card. but not out yet. [11:48] brand names models etc? [11:48] moijk: you can find 750's for <=50€ when looking around though [11:48] mikatone: it is just that some shops believe that they are still worth 200+ [11:49] SAS 750Gb Seagate 15k [11:49] specially the low profile versions [11:49] mikatone: depends on if you need performance or not etc [11:49] I'm in norway. So 50 becomes 100 quite quickly. (which is what I paid, new w/gurantee). [11:50] if you just need space then I would grab a bunch of 4TiB deathstars or wd's and raid10 them [11:50] moijk: finn and tek.no bruktmarked [11:50] hi guys: is the i386 server iso uefi? [11:50] MrElendig nowadays performance is always a need but not worried about performance that much more about price and data integrity [11:51] Aussie_matt: is the hardware 64bit capable? [11:51] Aussie_matt, UEFI and 32 bit is a problem. [11:51] MrElendig: yes, it is a 64 bit cpu with 32 efi [11:51] Aussie_matt: if it is, do a 64bit install, if you need ram efficiency use x32 for the relevant bits [11:52] thank you [11:53] DO you think its possible to use the ubuntu font with icewm ? [11:53] I have unity and icewm on the same system. I would like to use unity fonts with icewm [11:54] aiena, why not? [11:54] can you tell me how to accomplish that [11:54] the wm does not affect what fonts you can use [11:54] I want the general fonts to look like unities because readability is impt [11:54] (unless it doesn't support freetype) [11:54] if you installed both, they would be available in both [11:55] so how do I make icewm use them [11:55] The enhabce readability [11:55] check the icewm manual how to change system fonts? [11:56] I checked but what path do I specify http://iceorg.sourceforge.net/manual/icewm-11.html#ss11.2 [11:56] for the fonts [11:56] also which font does unity use by default [11:56] using ubuntu 16.04 [11:57] back to the best irc channel nobody answer me at ##hardware :( [11:58] so guys need final solution [11:58] best solution? [11:59] mikatone_, then try ##linux ? [11:59] or be patient in ##hardware [12:00] mikatone_: buy 10 cheap 4TiB spinners, raid10 them with two hot spares [12:00] ^_^ [12:00] can't spend that much and that is way to much space [12:01] 200€ is my best shot [12:01] 1 Tb space [12:02] ok guys thank you going ##linux checking ;) [12:02] OerHeks: ah, so the i386 iso's aren't efi. thanks [12:02] Ah... won first game :D lichess.org/0pjPO3ap [12:02] MrElendig: I'll try with the 64bit iso, see what happens [12:02] Hi All [12:03] I am new to ubuntu ..

[12:06] Aussie_matt: if your uefi is 32bit, then you need a 32bit payload, but that is not that hard to get [12:06] V7, Both [12:06] MrElendig: what do you mean by payload? [12:06] I have set lxc.cgroup.memory.limit_in_bytes = 4G in container config file, But it is not taking effect even after rebootingg the container. [12:07] Aussie_matt: typically a bootloader to load your kernel [12:07] MrElendig: ah, ok gotcha [12:07] MrElendig: the good news it the 64 bit iso is recognised as efi! yay, so I'm at a boot menu [12:08] !uefi [12:08] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [12:08] Aussie_matt: then it sounds like you have a 64bit uefi and not a 32bit one [12:08] so all is good [12:09] MrElendig: no, I believe the 16.04 iso added 32bit efi [12:10] Is there any errors in my parameter ?

[12:27] sruli: kill the windows machine :) [12:27] bekks: cause /dev/sde is only showing 950mb of a 16Gb sd card [12:27] sruli: by not giving random people write access in the first place [12:28] Seveas: i would love too its the only one remaining on the network but its needed use a device from a particualr supplier [12:28] l9: fdisk -l /dev/sde [12:28] l9: put the output on bpaste.net or similar [12:29] MrElendig: i am not giving random people access, i am worried from this 1 win machine if it gets a crypto malware or something [12:29] http://pastebin.com/L6ZZYPZ7 [12:29] sruli: if you do then you have lost anyway, get some offline backup solution instead [12:29] l9: please don't use pastebin.com, see /q phrik pastebin.com [12:29] sruli, sticky bit on a file should work stop file deletion, but writing in the file would still be possible. [12:30] MrElendig: havnt lost if user can only add files [12:31] as a counter measure i have been making a offline backup of each file as soon as its written the first time... the device is now ~100 files per minutes at peak times, its consuming too much resources [12:32] MrElendig: whats a broker service? [12:32] MrElendig: https://bpaste.net/show/32fd73934055 [12:32] hi [12:32] sruli: eg a web service that runs on the server where you have a file upload form [12:33] sruli: and a download form [12:33] sruli: you could also have some fuse based fs as a frontend on the client side, or similar [12:33] sruli: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_broker [12:33] MrElendig: big hammer for small job.. sounds too complicated for me [12:34] sruli: there are ready to use solutions [12:34] bekks: are you sure it can be achived with ACL? i read a little about samba ACL but did not see how to do that [12:34] you can't do add only with acl [12:34] hi there [12:35] sruli: It is a common task using ACL, for disallowing users to delete stuff. [12:35] bekks: deleting is not enough.. malware can write to the file.. [12:35] I'm trying to figure out how to set my caps lock key to act as a ctrl modifier for my current user only through the gui. I'm on ubuntu 16.04. [12:36] sruli: Then you need to deny writes at all - aka read-only - and then your share is useless. [12:36] MrElendig: do you see why i need too delete sde1 and sde2 ? when i use gparted the card only shows as 950mb [12:36] bekks: useless as you say. thanks to MS i have a vunrabillity on my network which i cannot close [12:36] l9: if you plan to deploy an image to sde, you dont need to delete sde1 or sde2 before. [12:36] I'd expect to find the functionality in system settings -> keyboard or text input but I can only set the keyboard layout there [12:37] thanks ya all... i am off to the sunny beaches [12:37] bekks: well after the dd command nothing changes on the card and i have problems mounting root on it [12:37] sruli: dont use windows shares then. vulnaribility closed. [12:37] l9: did you unmount all filesystems before? [12:38] l9: and what was your very exact dd command? [12:38] bekks: dd bs=1M if=image of=dev [12:39] nothing fancy [12:39] l9: thats not the EXACT command you have been using. [12:39] that fdisk output is strange, -l sde should have given the full partition lost [12:39] list* [12:39] bekks: as i explained there is 1 pc which has to have that crap required by a supplier to connect to their system (they use activeX) there is a scanner connected to it which scanns document, their site (activeX process it) but those docs need to be available to everyone on the network, the scan has to be initiated from the activeX so cant even scan it from linux PC [12:39] bekks: dd if=FreeBSD-armv6-11.0-RPI-B-302284.img of=/dev/sde bs=1024 [12:40] l9: And did you unmount sde1 and sde2 before? [12:40] have never mounted them [12:40] l9: And how do you see "changes" on the card? [12:40] at boot [12:41] l9: besser use a tool that shows you the partitioning layout, etc. [12:41] bekks: what tool do you recomend? [12:41] l9: sudo fdisk -l, e.g. [12:42] MrElendig: just booted the desktop 64bit iso, looks good. It's on this: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/331558195971?lpid=107&chn=ps [12:42] bekks: https://bpaste.net/show/3b5db1163849 <- like that? [12:46] l9: looks good. And whats the issue with that? [12:47] l9: And using fdisk on a partition is pointless. [12:48] i have sde as 953,7 mb when it should be 16Gb [12:49] l9: Then your SD card is broken. [12:49] yeah [12:49] l9: Throw it away and get a working one. [12:53] l9, I've seen this behavior with broken MBR from USB sticks. Try to write a new one. [12:55] erv identify new2day [12:57] Amm0n: already tried too dd /dev/null too it still the same. need too dig into it later but yeah i think i might have screwed the mbr [12:57] l9: the card is broken. [12:59] nexusguy59, i think you want to change password [12:59] Hi ya'll. I'm running a windows machine but had a virus that made it fail to boot, and also removed the partition to my second (phyiscal, D) drive. I just want to know if this is what a normal "C" drive with windows should look like http://imgur.com/0FrE1Ud [13:00] * l9 looks at the card nope it looks good not a single dent in it [13:00] l9: Cool, so you can see defects inside a flash chip. How do you do that? [13:02] sde 8:64 1 14,9G 0 disk [13:02] thats how i see it is not broke [13:02] Where do you see that? [13:03] lsblk [13:03] l9: And fdisk tells you the device smaller than 1G. [13:03] and dmesg tells me it is ignoring prtions [13:03] l9: remove the card, wait 10s, put it back in, and pastebin dmesg afterwards. [13:05] https://bpaste.net/show/994c9aca3492 [13:06] l9: you could try erasing the entire card, using dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sde bs=16M [13:06] l9: after that, run: "sync; sync;", remove the card, wait 10s, put it back in, and take a look at dmesg again. [13:09] same [13:09] l9: I doubt you ran that command, it takes longer than two minutes. [13:10] l9: and the timestamps from your paste are from your boot, not from after putting the card back in. [13:11] l9: can you pastebin "lsb_release -a" as well, please? [13:11] dmesg -wH [13:11] dmesg -wH is not dmesg. [13:12] l9: and dmesg on Ubuntu does not supports -w nor -H. So which system are you on? [13:12] -s [13:13] it dosent? [13:13] Which OS are you on, currently? [13:13] 16.04 LTS [13:13] So pastebin "lsb_release -a". [13:14] l9: "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" that will output a url, show that url here [13:14] https://bpaste.net/show/03fb662d430c [13:15] k1l_: http://termbin.com/yiov [13:16] Reboot your box, you have sever kernel errors in dmesg.

FYI, I don't plan on running Ubuntu on my C: in the future; I'm going to run it off an external HDD [14:29] hi === arjun is now known as Guest95547 [14:30] TheFly, you only need an extended partition on a drive, when you plan to make more than 4 primairy partitions. [14:30] so no, i guess. [14:31] I have enabled virtual desktops in unity, anyone know how can I hide the icons of the applications that are running in a different virtual desktop? [14:32] hit the unity bar, systemsettings > appearance > behaviour - auto hide [14:32] OerHeks: So I should make the D drive a Primary partition, as it is the sole partition on that physical drive? [14:32] TheFly, sure you can do that. [14:32] OerHeks: LOL okay, thank you! [14:32] the old mbr got a max of 4 primairy p. [14:33] newer GPT does not have this restriction. [14:33] OerHeks: Understood! [14:34] OerHeks I dont what to hide the launcher, I want the launcher not to show the icons of applications that are running in a different virtual desktop, for example, I have skype running in virtual desktop 2, so when I am using virtual desktop 1 it should not show the skype icon in the launcher [14:34] is there an app that will let me browse the contents of a .img file without mounting it [14:35] napoleao, hmm there is no tweak for that, in unity-tweak, only to show the launcher on 1 desktop only [14:35] !info unity-tweak-tool [14:35] unity-tweak-tool (source: unity-tweak-tool): configuration tool for the Unity desktop environment.

[15:30] setuid: yes, the whole screen flickers (though my naked eye only manages to see black on the bottom section of the screen, but pretty sure it's not confined to any window) [15:31] Sounds like either a bad cable/connection (unshielded HDMI or DVI cables can cause this) or your driver is trying t push a different refresh rate than your card/monitor can handle [15:31] So in your X config, tame it [15:32] hi all :) is /tmp usually part of the / filesystem these days? i'm used to it being a tmpfs in default configuration [15:34] hdon: Basically you can place /tmp wherever you want.

[16:31] momken, nvidia have good propietary drivers, especially if you wanna play some games(better than amd), if you dont play any games nouveau driver will do all another work very well [16:33] psycho, game on linux? no thanks. nouveau is enough for me and I don't want to install proprietary drivers, because sometimes I disconnect my OS and boot it on home PC [16:33] psycho, So you sure about support of nouveau for GTX9xx? [16:34] momken, maybe you should buy laptop only with intels integrated gpu? [16:34] Hi [16:34] pyrony, I want to, but all laptops with strong cpus have geforce gpu too [16:35] And I can't configure and order, because I live in Iran. I have to buy preconfiged ones [16:35] i am not sure about support of gtx9xx by nouveau driver, but maybe on phoronix are some test about it [16:35] anyone know offline Gps maps like Microsoft Maps metro app or Navit? [16:35] pyrony, yes, phoronix, thanks [16:36] psycho, this page is so old. no value: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsAsus [16:41] momken, dell xps is good serie of laptops but i dont know if you can order it [16:42] as i remember, you can switch off nvidia gpu and use intels gpu [16:48] no if your gpu is optimus [16:50] psycho, dell 15 with 2kg? yes it is amazing but I guess it is expensive here. [16:50] Asus N series is a good balance b/w price and performance [16:50] sorry i mean not in reverse, mine is 940M and Hd 5500 so noway to off hd 5500 [16:50] but is heavy with 2.7kg [16:52] momken, if you like asus n series, you need to buy it ) [16:52] okieiam, optimus is a tech for auto switching gpu. right? I remember there was a problem with it in linux from previous days [16:52] psycho, yeah. I more like asus g series, but it is expensive. [16:53] okieiam, so what happens in default ubuntu 16.04 (no drivers installed) on your laptop? please answer me [16:53] yes I have to use new canonical ported driver for 16,04 [16:54] okieiam, "canonical ported driver"? you mean nvidia's proprietary driver? [16:54] if you let the system auto detcted and install the driver, it will break x [16:55] !find avconv [16:55] right but there is new ppa for it [16:55] File avconv found in devede, libav-tools [16:55] okieiam, what if I don't install any driver at all? [16:55] default driver is i915 [16:55] !info libav-tools | Kartagis [16:55] okieiam, would it work? and whether works on nvidia or intel? [16:55] Kartagis: libav-tools (source: ffmpeg): Compatibility links for libav-tools (transitional package). In component universe, is extra. Version 7:2.8.6-1ubuntu2 (xenial), package size 14 kB, installed size 60 kB [16:56] it will work with intel only [16:57] Hi, how was the issue fixed in Ubuntu 12.04 with some external disks not beeing able to mount ? [16:57] okieiam, hmmm. thanks. intel is enough for me, but then I have wasted my money on nvidia GPU :)) [16:57] okieiam, just last question: will the intel graphic detect all hdmi/vga ports? [16:58] look https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1559576 [16:58] Launchpad bug 1559576 in gdm3 (Ubuntu Xenial) "Ubuntu GNOME boots to black screen when using proprietary Nvidia drivers on a laptop with Optimus" [Critical,Triaged] [16:59] okieiam, hmmm. So in my case the gpu will be bypassed at all (because I don't want to install a driver, because my OS is on external USB3.0 SSD) [17:01] Hmm, i am not able to find Ubuntu 12.04 on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs? [17:01] you can try this https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [17:01] okieiam, ok, thank you very much [17:02] nvidia-361 work for me [17:04] hi all [17:04] If you face back screen boot, then restart to recovery console: [17:04] hi [17:04] mount -o remount,rw / [17:05] prime-select intel [17:05] how not to include xorg? ubuntu ,what would work as the server [17:05] apt-get purge nvidia* [17:05] vahe, try ubuntu-netinstall [17:05] you will revert back to intel [17:05] Good evening people.

I have a LUKS volume (not /) that keeps unmounting randomly [17:07] How can I fix that. It locks on its own and thus becomes unmounted [17:08] I need help to help a friend share video and audio from a laptop and hits TV through HDMI [17:08] psycho: I have a minipc which only works in ubuntu unity [17:08] minipc [17:08] Nick /sburwood1 [17:09] vahe, you can just choose to not start DE [17:09] My apologies i was lagging.

[17:12] and what does tech support do?...rebuild clu from tron? [17:13] Why don't you give it a try?

[17:25] i said exactly what you should type there [17:26] only a mo ron would say "google it" [17:26] jatt: okay, so I don't know wtf this means, because there's a symbol that stands in place of the character on fileformat.info which is actually what I'm after [17:26] Hi. I have a noob sysadmin question. How do you securely manage environment variables containing things like API tokens on a server? [17:26] Manually I mean.

[17:42] hmmm, but it did work.... I will do that if nothing else works. Any recommondation for an alternative? (is there any?

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. [18:33] OerHeks: so the LTS will work with thsoe laptops? [18:33] try it with live-usb ? [18:33] What possible can this be? [18:34] Guest64126, some bios versions can protect the mbr, or that disk is part of raid, or uses gpt .. [18:35] Guest64126, try sudo partprobe [18:36] the kernel needs to reread the new partition table, or you can reboot [18:36] Hi guys, is this a known bug?

[18:49] okie [18:50] OerHeks: see here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20714740/how-do-i-troubleshoot-ipython-listener-and-or-gedits-ipython-plugin . lots of gedit plugins break/don't-work because of the missing python2-loader === huttan_ is now known as huttan === add0 is now known as addo [18:51] from now on if i don't have a solution for someone's problem or something ubuntu related i'll just watch.My apologies. [18:51] I already registered. [18:53] hard to believe that bugerort involves 14.04 .. your trusty has gedit 3.10.4 or higher ?? [18:53] Hi,I am "./configure"ing a source, but it needs a library, I have downloaded that library and I have compiled it. it has some .h, .o and .cpp files, how can I give the path of this library to configure ? [18:53] 3.10.4 [18:54] the plugin I used was from software centre also: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/gedit-developer-plugins/ [18:54] the fact that it exists on the software centre but lacks the known bug dependency is interesting [18:56] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/gedit-developer-plugins does not have that python package as dependencie. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libpeas/1.8.1-2ubuntu2 [18:56] so file a bugreport then ? [18:56] i guess the answer will be: no, that plugin is not going to be ported.. [18:56] Elec_A, a library usually has a .a or .so extension ... do you have it ? [18:57] ioria: no there is no *.so file in the path. [18:57] Elec_A: you may need extra options while compiling [18:57] for example include etc [18:58] Elec_A, well, you first need to have your lib compiled... or you cannot link [18:59] WhiteWabbit: How can I see if I need a option. makefile ? [19:00] OerHeks: what if I just installed the .deb package of libpeas-python2 ? will that fix it? [19:03] ioria: I'm doing make all [19:03] and I get no errors [19:03] Elec_A: i think you can apply the command right after the ./configure like --includes [19:03] and add =/path [19:03] it's been a while since i was compiling so my apologies. [19:04] WhiteWabbit: I'm doing ./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/home/fa/Desktop/ALMA/CDL" LDFLAGS="-L/home/fa/Desktop/ALMA/CDL" [19:04] but still I get the same error [19:04] what dependencies it has and what's that you're trying to compile?? [19:04] Elec_A: you should be careful about compiling software on your work machine. Any mistake (severe enough) could cause complications [19:04] can't you use apt-get install? [19:05] there isn't on the repositories? [19:05] WhiteWabbit: I want to install IRAF CDL [19:05] I think there it is not in the repositories [19:05] Elec_A, if , as i think , it's not in standard-path you need to tell the linker where the lib is ... g++ main.o -o app -L/lib -lmylib [19:07] yes libraries and headers [19:07] you need to apply as parameters while compiling. [19:07] and i suggest you not make install [19:07] hi all, i'm new :D [19:07] try to ln -s the executable to your ~/bin [19:08] hello mrkvic [19:08] anyone can tell me a channel with italian community of ubuntu? [19:08] !who [19:08] As you can see, this is a large channel.

[19:23] Next time i will join that offtopic for offtopic things. [19:24] Have a wonderful evening, i am running low on juice on laptop. [19:24] Be safe. [19:40] is there any software like skype for ubuntu? [19:41] <_cake> ... skype? [19:41] <_cake> google hangouts? [19:42] there is a skype package in the partner-repo, and there is a newer beta skype somewhere [19:42] !skype [19:42] To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto - Please use open protocols instead if you can, see !Ekiga [19:43] https://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Linux-Alpha-and-calling-on-Chrome-amp-Chromebooks/td-p/4434299 [19:43] sorry, alfa ( not even beta ) [19:49] hi all :) what is a simple command-line utility to view images in common image file formats? [19:49] oh right, imagemagick comes with one i think... display? [19:51] hdon, you mean open image from terminal ? [19:52] have a LVM fs I'm trying to 'recover' it's part of a RAID 5 array from a NAS device. I'm able to mount the volume, but it is showing an 'empty' file system, versus mdadm showing a decent utilization of the supposed array. [19:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/22728443/ [19:55] hdon, from the terminal (particularly xterm) you can use the ranger file manager. If you have w3m installed, it will show the image inline [19:55] Hello I reinstalled for the 3rd time. [19:55] i have a ubuntu laptop that i've set up both AFP connections to as well as SAMBA connections... and both work fine. i'm doing this to let arq backup agent as well amazon cloud drive backup my files questions 1) should i be using AFP or SAMBA ? i've heard conflicting reports. 2) is there a way to auto connect/reconnect to the laptop when it goes to resume? [19:55] I try to install webmin but it doesn't complete... [19:56] (connecting to mac os x) [19:56] and every time Im trying to install something I got this erro [19:56] b-yeezi, xterm supports pixmaps? [19:56] wow i never knew... [19:56] yup [19:57] man ranger [19:57] !info webmin [19:57] Package webmin does not exist in xenial [19:57] thanks b-yeezi [19:57] hdon, np [19:58] ubuntulog: but I downloaded the file.deb and I tried dpkg --install file.deb [19:58] but It hangs.. [19:58] and I dont know what to do . === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [20:00] ubottu: How can I let this error go aaway [20:00] allamoox: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:01] dam. [20:01] ok [20:01] arooni: AFP will eventually be turned off, and has known issues with mtu. [20:01] arooni: and yes. [20:01] tyler_d: so sounds like samba is the right way to do it; how can i auto resume a samba connection after my laptop suspends? [20:02] arooni: you would want to set it up in your fstab and work from there [20:02] allamoox: try `sudo dpkg --install file.deb` [20:03] tyler_d: right now; i'm connecting from mac os x to my ubuntu samba share... how would i set up a fstab entry? i'm a bit confused. would i be connecting from my laptop to my mac ? [20:03] tyler_d: Im root already [20:03] allamoox: tail the logs while trying it [20:03] arooni: you are talking from your laptop to the samaba share automagic? [20:04] arooni: if that' [20:04] http://www.webmin.com/deb.html Im follwoing this "how to setup" [20:04] but they ask me to add their rep into my /apt/source.list [20:04] is it safe if i did so? [20:04] tyler_d: i'm conecting from my mac os x to my ubuntu laptop (i want to run the backup programs available for mac on my ubuntu data) [20:04] arooni: if that's the case tehn I'm unsure how to get your osX to autoconnect [20:05] allamoox, that is an unsafe guide for 16.04 [20:05] arooni: yah, you've have to ask an osx guy [20:05] allamoox, and webm in is not suitable for debian/ubuntu anyway, how does your postfix come up with webmin errors??? [20:05] allamoox: I have no idea, I tend to default to 'not safe' [20:05] tyler_d: so theres not a way to have the laptop sort of reping mac os x after resuming from suspend? [20:05] I have a bit of pickle here guys, if any1 can help that would be awesome. I have a win8 on dev/sda1 (boot) and dev/sda2 (OS), i installed Ubuntu after that - dev/sda3 (/), dev/sda5 (swap) and dev/sda6 (EFI)... I couldn't see OS selection screen so I ran a grub repair tool, now I have grub on start but it's not detecting windows [20:06] OerHeks: I didnot install postfix [20:06] I will install webmin , as its much easier [20:06] arooni: there is likely a way, I'm simply not versed in it. [20:06] allamoox> http://paste.ubuntu.com/22728443/ [20:06] allamoox, then you are on your own, good luck! [20:07] OerHeks: but because I got this error, I decided to go with webmin. [20:07] its too complicated. [20:08] and Im in a hurry to setup the mailserver [20:08] I managed to add a menu item to grub for windows, but i have no idea how to config it to point to windows boot - this is what i added for menu item http://pastebin.com/piFJw9dc [20:08] hi folks, i have upgraded from 14 to 16 and my monitors are not detected and video resolution is not great, what should i look into to fix it [20:08] ? [20:11] very helpful :/ http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/03/ubuntu-drops-amd-catalyst-fglrx-driver-16-04 [20:12] not only ubuntu, linux global [20:13] AMD uses the radeon driver, or for newer GPUs the AMDgpu driver [20:13] well i didnt have these huge problems on 14 [20:14] oh there are more changes, init > systemD [20:14] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes [20:14] Hi there. When I login, I always have to type my username and password in lightdm. I'd like to set the default user on lightdm, so that I only have to type my password. I don't know to do. Oh, and my user infos are stored remotely (LDAP maybe?), so my username is not in /etc/password. Has anyone an idea? [20:15] arno_, external, no. internal one could tweak lightdm login [20:23] are radeon cards supposed to work right out in ubuntu 16? [20:23] how can i config it? [20:23] "radeon" cards would be the cards that are not supported by the AMDgpu driver [20:24] yes, by the radeondriver. [20:24] the beta AMDgpu on their site supports: [20:24] beta driver Radeon™ RX 480 RX 470 R9 Fury/Fury X/Nano [20:24] R9 M395X 390X M385 380X 360 290x 285 m270x 260x [20:25] OerHeks: what do you mean? (internal/external)? [20:25] well i have a HD 5770 and it is all wrong, but i just cant figure out what to configure if possible to fix it [20:26] Bashing-om: I found out partially what the problem was the other day. Upgrade from 14LTS to 16LTS broke desktop... had to reinstall gnome desktop. but that just got me into X Windows, and that is riddled with other errors. Segment faults with console commands, popups for errors all the time. Decided to do a fresh install from ISO. Busy backing up stuff ands creating bootable USB stick. Just wanted to let you know what the issue was, and to [20:26] thank you for trying to help me the other night. [20:26] arno_, with ldap i don't know howto tweak that [20:26] Ascavasaion, what broke on ur desktop? [20:26] arno_, i would consider that as a security issue. [20:26] gebbione: Where do I begin :) [20:27] well ok i can tell u what is wrong on mine [20:27] gebbione: It froze on bootup with a waiting for UID 118 ... which I discovered was gdm. [20:27] i think the radeon driver only supports 2 screens, iirc [20:28] ok i m not that blocked [20:28] gebbione: When I run anythign in console I get segmentation fault and notified that it did a core dump. [20:28] OerHeks, i have two screens but they are mirroring not extending [20:28] OerHeks, also resolution is rubbish [20:28] gebbione: I am continuously getting pop up windows warning me that Ubuntu had an error and to ask me to report it [20:29] gebbione: screen lock has borken, it does not come back from locked screem [20:29] gebbione: When I eventually manage to get it back, only sometimes, the mouse stops working. [20:29] Hi, How can we know where is ./configure looking for libraries? because I have installed libcfitsio packages but It still gives me the error "CFITSIO is required. [20:29] " [20:30] gebbione: Sometimes the boot hangs, sometimes not. [20:30] gebbione: All in all the upgrade from 14 LTS to 16LTS was dreadful and something I would not wish on my worst enemy. [20:31] Ascavasaion, that is really annoying ... still i am also stuck. I wish they had a prompt to say that ubuntu is stopping supporting radeon drivers and created new ones that dont really work [20:31] i would not have progressed with upgrading [20:31] and this is version 16.4 [20:32] gebbione: by Ubuntu you mean Nvidia? [20:32] And there are release notes, so yes it did [20:32] gebbione: It should ahve been nbackwards copatible. [20:33] xangua, ubuntu removed Catalyst/fglrx in 16 [20:33] on 14 there is no prob [20:33] and not only ubuntu .. [20:33] or at least not as bad as on 16 [20:33] now I have spent the last hour or more writing ISO to USB. [20:34] Ascavasaion, going back to 14? [20:34] gebbione: uh, no. That's not the whole story [20:34] OerHeks: I'm talking about just the username. I still want to continue to enter my password every time [20:35] Elec_A: the ./configure script looks wherever the writer of the script has asked it to look. Many of them are generated by autoconf, and use pkg-config. Remember to add the -dev versions of any libraries you need [20:35] gebbione: IIRC, AMD dropped support for FGLRX on newer xservers, which 16.04 ships [20:36] mcphail: you mean the writer has specified it in configure.ac file ? [20:36] Is this the right place to ask a usb-live ubuntu question? [20:36] arno_, nope i think it cannot be done, maybe someone else in this channel knows a tweak ? [20:36] tgm4883, i read some stuff from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [20:37] but still my question is 1) how to fix it and 2) if reasonable a warning on install would have kept me away from upgrading [20:37] OerHeks: ok, thanks [20:38] arno_, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server too [20:38] hey fellows [20:38] Elec_A: if that is what they have used to make the configure script, yes [20:38] arno_: maybe you can tweak that in the config of lightdm. [20:38] I want to come to ubuntu after getting sick of arch linux [20:38] gebbione: how to fix what? What card do you have? [20:38] I need a good program to write to usb [20:38] any ideas? [20:38] Elec_A: usually they ask pkg-config to find a library [20:38] Murii: dd. Same as on archlinux. [20:39] tgm4883, Radeon HD 5770 with a small resolution now and no dual screen detection [20:39] I'm kinda in a hurry so an GUI app would be appreciated bekks [20:39] mcphail: it is using "AC_CHECK_LIB([cfitsio], [ffvers], [], AC_MSG_ERROR([CFITSIO is required.]))" [20:39] Murii: So open a terminal and use dd in there :) [20:39] gebbione: hmm, 5770 is old enough it should work with radeon I think. I'd have to check what my laptop has, but I think it's roughly that [20:39] Murii: you could have been done with that already. [20:39] I'm wondering if it is possible to add a small data partition to my live-usb, and use that from within the live-booted system. The trouble i'm experiencing is that I can't mount it, it says "already mounted", I'm guessing because /dev/sdb is mounted ro at /cdrom ? Any ideas? [20:40] what do I need to type? bekks [20:40] not really that familiar with the command [20:40] Murii: That depends on what you want to do. [20:40] tgm4883, so in the case where it is not working what is the best i can do? [20:41] gebbione: No, going to try a fresh install of 16 instead of the upgrade. [20:41] Elec_A: that simply tries to link against the library [20:41] mcphail: in the documentation says : "These days it is normally better to use AC_SEARCH_LIBS([gethostbyname], [nsl]) instead of AC_CHECK_LIB([nsl], [gethostbyname])." [20:42] I mean documentation of "autoconf" [20:42] gebbione: well you can either A) check your logs, see if it's throwing errors on something and try to fix that, B) try creating a custom xorg.conf file that specifies the correct info (since it sounds like it's not detecting your stuff correctly) or C) go back to 14.04 [20:42] mcphail: but I don't know how to convert it. [20:42] how easy is c? [20:43] gebbione: reinstall [20:43] gebbione: well, backup and reinstall [20:43] Elec_A: that is beyond the scope of this channel [20:43] mcphail: oh, Sorry then. thank you for your help. [20:44] gebbione, maybe writing a proper xorg.conf can do the trick, expanded virtual desktop. [20:44] Elec_A: First port of call should be the Ubuntu repos, to see whwther the package exists already. Next port of call should be the developer, to ask why the libs aren't linking [20:45] OerHeks, unfortunately i know nothing about writing a xorg file for my card config [20:45] No ideas? [20:46] Elec_A: if the package already exists in Ubuntu, but you want to compile a different version, running "apt-get build-dep packagename" will often install all the needed packages to compile [20:47] mcphail: unfortunately it is not in Ubuntu. [20:47] to create an standard xorg.conf http://askubuntu.com/questions/4662/where-is-the-x-org-config-file-how-do-i-configure-x-there and the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution [20:48] Secure Boot is dead [20:50] when we say #include , something.h is in /usr/include ? [20:50] what places can a header file be ? [20:50] I mean without giving its address to compiler [20:50] Elec_A: also /usr/local/include, /usr/include/, /usr/include/ [20:51] MY123: so /usr/local/include is already known by compiler by default, yes ? === alien_ is now known as Guest17945 [20:52] Elec_A: yes [20:52] MY123: thanks :) === dn`_ is now known as dn` [20:53] ok it looks like ubuntu installation created a xorg.conf.failsafe [20:53] How can we uninstall a package when there is no "uninstall" option in "make" ?

[20:55] I think I am [20:55] YAY [20:56] MY gosh Wireless is hard to get around here === Guest2873 is now known as minsky [20:56] Hello minksy [20:56] S [20:56] genii: thanks :) [20:56] so I havent installed ubuntu in a very long time [20:56] It looks all new [20:59] gebbione: Fresh install has begun. :-) [20:59] Ascavasaion, at least u have hope :p [21:00] gebbione: Always hope.. without it I would be using Windows :) [21:00] I just found out that if I press this Caps-lock key that EVERYTHING TURNS big [21:00] !ot | MisterLeafy [21:00] MisterLeafy: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[21:22] i can try to force a xorg file but as far as i know it should detect hardware capabilities on its own [21:22] NSABear: when you say it's just for friends and you, are you sending email to external addresses? [21:22] you can monitor your IP rep and see if you are on any block lists with that link [21:22] tgm4883, yes [21:22] also make sure you setup DKIM and spf records [21:22] hi ! [21:22] We're not doing anything on the scale of cock.li [21:23] what the fuck is cock.li?? never mind I don't want to know [21:23] timyp, go to the link [21:23] !ohmy | timyp [21:23] timyp: The main Ubuntu channels require that you speak in calm, polite English. For other languages, please visit https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [21:23] hi every body [21:23] It's a email provider based out of romania with complete respect for privacy [21:23] no you lost my interest at cock sorry [21:23] gebbione: After the upgrade I did from 14 to 16 the only way I got back into GUI was to re-install the gnome desktop environment. I am not suggesting you do it, I am just saying. My system was so buggered that even that never fixed anything else but the GUI access I lost. [21:23] It's a email provider based out of romania with complete respect for privacy timyp [21:24] Here, I'll ruin it more. They also provide @horsefucker.org iirc [21:24] oh kind of link the old Lavabit [21:24] not quite. [21:24] link=like [21:24] oh [21:24] they do co-operate with the law [21:24] They don't track you though [21:24] where's dax when you need him [21:24] is it for internal messages only? [21:25] no, you can email outside of cock.li [21:25] Ascavasaion, can i do that from synaptic? [21:25] tgm4883, who's dax? [21:25] NSABear: don't worry about it [21:25] email is inherently not secure by default, unless you use PGP. Once you cross domains its all unecrypted, SSL can only take you as far as your own domain [21:25] tgm4883, You want to call ops on us because you're triggered by a email provider i presume. [21:25] NSABear, stop it. [21:26] NSABear: I'm not triggered by anything, I'd just like to adhere to channel guidelines [21:26] join #5hit [21:26] OerHeks, stop what? tgm4883 We're talking about a email provider but aok! [21:26] gebbione: I did it command line... but you should be able to. again.. I am not suggesting you do it. What I know about Linux is frightening./ [21:26] I'll refer to them by their other email: tfwno.gf [21:27] Anyway NSABear if you want to monitor your email/IP reputation use this https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx [21:27] and if you want to setup a bad ass email server use this http://iredmail.com/ [21:27] well at the moment the guides OerHeks is giving me look like they fix someone else problem :) [21:28] when i do xrandr -q i only get one monitor [21:28] OerHeks, btw can you not nick alert me telling me to stop doing things without specify what I'm doing that you don't like. [21:28] timyp, ty for the link. [21:29] gebbione: OerHeks is the one to listen to. He showed me how to get back into GUI when Screenlock refused to unlock. [21:29] Ascavasaion, can't you just pkill -9 the lock daemon? [21:29] well i guess my problem requires a lot of trial and error [21:29] NSABear: Each time? [21:29] oh [21:29] i knew however i should have not upgraded [21:29] That's a bad issue ; - ;! [21:30] gebbione, odd, here i get 2 screens perfectly [21:30] Hai [21:30] Which is the best phone that I can use as a full OS, connect to a monitor and plugin keyboard and mouse? [21:30] hi, I have a library and I have *.so file in it. there are some header files and *.o files too. how can I install these files? [21:31] anom: sounds like you want to look at #ubuntu-phone [21:31] anom: sorry, the channel is #ubuntu-touch [21:31] Elec_A: Gernerally, you don't. What is it you're actually trying to install? [21:31] http://imgur.com/a/XLXlf [21:31] cheers k3l [21:31] Jordan_U: It is a socket library. [21:31] k1l* === Bray90820_ is now known as bray90820 [21:32] Jordan_U: so how can I give its address to ./configure ? I have exported CFLAGS and LDFLAGS but still it cannot be found [21:32] k1l: you using ubuntu touch? if so how is it? [21:32] anom, Like I said if you didn't recieve it [21:32] Windows Phone is the best option for what you want sadly. [21:33] anom, you might be able to get Ubuntu Phone on a Nexus [21:34] !touch [21:34] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [21:34] it looks like aws cli no longer installs on ubuntu 16.04 [21:34] Ubuntu Touch is more of a failure than anything. [21:34] Say that i want to install slingscold from this PPA ppa:noobslab/apps ...... [21:34] This is one of those PPAs that have alot of packages in it (239). It is not just a repository for 1 item. Now, playonlinux is in there. I already have playonlinux installed. Is it going to cause problems with the one i already have installed? === krc4267_ is now known as krc4267|afk [21:34] oh cheers nsabear [21:34] OerHeks, the thing is that those tutorials assume xrandr -q shows the monitors but i see only one [21:34] The Ubuntu Phone was too ambitious and never happened sadly. [21:34] and it is called default [21:35] When you are defining paths in *.conf files, is there a default path that is assumed? [21:35] .. NSABear if don't give supportive answers, please be quiet. [21:35] so not much of a match [21:35] NSABear: stop that FUD. [21:35] i just want a phone that I can run vim and chrome off [21:35] then i can dithc me laptop [21:35] k1l, what FUD? OerHeks I am giving supportive answers. [21:35] He was a phone that can double as a computer on the go and Windows 10 is the only one currently targeting that usccessfully. [21:35] You can't really buy ubuntu touch devices. [21:36] BootToGecko has been retired. [21:36] anom, Looks like Ubuntu Touch isn't completely dead yet. [21:37] NSABear: just stop your rantings and offtopic and offensive language in here. there are ubuntu touch phones and tablets on the marked. so saying "it never happend" is just plain a lie. [21:37] anom, There's the Meizu Pro 5 [21:37] k1l, ... [21:37] k1l, Don't put words in my mouth and lie. [21:38] OerHeks, this is what i start with http://pastebin.com/gpp6BMuE [21:38] k1l, https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge [21:38] https://itsfoss.com/best-command-line-games-linux/ [21:38] It never happened. The fundraiser fell short. === __raven is now known as __raven__ [21:38] and the fact that only one monitor is visible and called default tells me something is not detected [21:38] i wonder why# === candu is now known as pas45 [21:38] So before you get all "I"M A OP BAH ABH BAH!!1 LISTEN TO ME >:(!!" and throw a temper tantrum learn what you're defending. [21:38] Ubuntu Edge, sorry not phone. [21:38] how did drugwars not make it on the list? [21:38] also what name do i use for the second screen? [21:38] It failed to meet the fundraising goal becuase it was too ambitious. [21:39] NSABear: you're comparing a hardware project to a software project [21:39] NSABear: that is not the only ubuntu touch device. and that is what you made it look like. but as said before, there is a channel for talk about the touch devices and this is all oftopic in here. [21:39] tgm4883, I'm talking about the hardware side. [21:39] gebbione, me too, as you claim they mirror, not extend the desktop. [21:39] * NSABear rolls his eyes [21:39] how can i update the atom editor ? just reinstall or is there a command [21:39] I'm trying to compile a code and I get fatal error: wx/gizmos/ledctrl.h: No such file or directory [21:39] Moving targets are moving Targets. Anyways timyp you where usggesting a mail server for Ubuntu [21:40] NSABear: Then apparently you're confused, because the feature that he was talking about (being able to plug in a keyboard/mouse/monitor and use it like a computer) is a function of the software, not hardware [21:40] tgm4883, he asked for a phone that could do that so you're clearly confused. [21:40] troll gets trolled :-D [21:40] I told him a viable answer for a device that could do that. [21:40] we are done talking that offtopic in here [21:40] You can do it with Android and Ubuntu touch but that's not the topic of this channel. [21:40] NSABear: he asked for a phone that could do that and you started talking about the ubuntu edge that didn't happen. That sure was helpful... [21:41] tgm4883, I'm asking you kindly to please stop nick alerting me and trying to bring the discussion back. [21:41] Elec_A: Again, what are you actually tryong to install? [21:41] does anyone know how I can open up my google drive documents through libreoffice? I have added a "online-account" through gnome and I can open up docx files but I can't open up the excel files. [21:41] I'm trying to repsect k1l's orders but you're making it quite difficult by bringing it back. [21:41] gebbione, is this a laptop? [21:41] CodingCookie: you need to reinstall it if there is no updater in that program. it isnt shipped by ubuntu repos [21:42] lol [21:42] yes NSABear check out Iredmail.org its script that will install postfix, dovecot, amavisd, sogo, roundcube, coupled with a nice webUI for user management in about 15 mins. [21:42] OerHeks, it is a full desktop with 24 inch monitors [21:42] timyp, damn :O! [21:42] I tried ooo2dg but this seems to not work with the current Oauth from google [21:42] can i use mutiple mirrors at once ? cuz in debian in my sources.list i have http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/ [21:42] here the script in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqAdt2l1aDc [21:43] timyp, another important question for you. I'm looking into getting away from Googl eservices as much as possible. What would you suggest for running on a Ubuntu box to replace things like Google calender syncing [21:43] sogo [21:43] I want to sync to my own dedicated server hosted proffessionally so I can keep all my devices in sync. I'd also love to integrate with LXDE [21:43] uses active sync for most mobile OS's also included in iredmail [21:43] Hi guys [21:44] timyp, So I can just passivley sync everything from my nexus? [21:44] Its an MS exchange killer https://sogo.nu/ [21:44] works great on android [21:44] No apps required? [21:45] i need a midi keyboard software [21:45] not for andriod once the Sogo server is setup you just configure the mail account on the phone as if it were an exchange server [21:45] perfect [21:45] there is also a nice webUI for cals, contacts, and email [21:46] timyp, what don't you do? [21:46] what you mean NSAbear? [21:46] what don't I do what? [21:46] timyp, you've answered all my questions quickly and frinedly. [21:46] timyp, You're like the customer support we want but don't deserv.e [21:47] thats what the community is for! [21:47] So, fresh install of 16.04.1 LTS done, and no WiFi. lspci shows the wireless card is there. Any pointers? It worked perfectly in 14.04.1. [21:47] lol [21:47] thanks for the kind words [21:47] timyp, timyp the community i run is quite offensive. [21:48] We harden our ubuntu boxes whereever we can think of to prevent unauthorized access. [21:48] yea thats the internet for you [21:50] so in 16.04 right when it shows the login screen it goes black for like 1-2 and then reappears. is this normal? === Crixus is now known as Crixus|afk [21:51] does that happen to you? [21:52] What's with the 60FPS cap on AMDGPU drivers? [21:54] hi ikonia [21:58] Say that i want to install slingscold from this PPA ppa:noobslab/apps ...... [21:58] This is one of those PPAs that have alot of packages in it (239). It is not just a repository for 1 item. playonlinux is in there. I already have playonlinux installed. Is it going to cause problems with the one i already have installed? [21:58] cimbakahn: possibly [21:59] I don't know how to get a PPA or a DEB for jut that 1 package. [21:59] jut is just [22:00] cimbakahn, just use pinning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [22:00] cimbakahn: install that ppa, run apt update, install that package, deactivate ppa [22:01] cimbakahn if you are concerned about dependence issues see if you can't use snap packages [22:01] that way all dependencies 's will be self contained [22:02] Or copy the package to your own PPA [22:04] tgm4883: are you on 16.04? does your screen goes to black for like 1 or 2 seconds right after it shows you the login screen? [22:05] ohlolz: I've got lots of systems on 16.04 [22:05] ohlolz: I don't believe it does that, but I'd have to check one of them [22:05] tgm4883: it's when it shows you the first login screen [22:05] So before login, just after the login screen loads? === CHVNX is now known as Guest44515 === Guest44515 is now known as CHVNX1 [22:06] I just found this PPA ppa:flexiondotorg/slingscold ...It only has slingscold and looks like it has a newer version. === CHVNX1 is now known as CHVNX === martin___ is now known as brmmm3 [22:07] tgm4883: it asks for my password, goes to blank right away like it updates the wallpaper then it comes back [22:07] goes to black tgm4883 * [22:07] ohlolz: let me fire up my laptop [22:08] Thanks guys! [22:09] I install libwxgtk3.0-dev and it installed some header files in /usr/include/wx-3.0 . now I purged it but the header files are still there. [22:09] how can I remove wx3 header files [22:10] The reason is I have installed wx2.8 and I don't want wx3 [22:10] wx3 is not back compatible [22:11] ohlolz: nope, I don't have that issue [22:12] ok tgm4883 thank you very much for taking your time and helping me [22:12] tgm4883: will search on the web [22:14] Elec_A: the headers are in wx3.0-headers [22:16] okay, so... I'm running a mail server and a web server... neither can I access from LAN but I can access from WAN... I don't get it... [22:17] trism: Thank you :) [22:18] Adam^work: Are you using the LAN ip or the public ip from the LAN? [22:18] anyone know a setting that would block connections from lan from doing a... http://www.example.org but if you are out there on the net and do the same it works? [22:18] if example.org is hosted in house [22:18] same network [22:19] everyone on the lan gets their ip from the router's DHCP server [22:19] the server is wired into the router, the rest are wireless clients [22:20] Hi. I've got a general question on uid and gid generation. On Linux uids are generated by finding the next free uid when a user is created. Same with gid. So on Ubuntu the first user gets uid 1000 and gid 1000. The second user gets uid and gid 1001. So now if we look at a very common situation where a family has several computers. Each member has it's own computer so it's own installation. So for example John's computer has the first user [22:20] john. Mary's computer the first user mary. Each have the same uid 1000. Now John buys an external drive and formats it with ext4. On this drive he puts some private files. Then Mary connects this drive on her computer and she sees all files with mary's user name and group and she can read all the files. Isn't this a major design bug or am I completely wrong? [22:20] turtleon1on (~turtleon1@93-136-6-225.adsl.net.t-com.hr) hat das Netzwerk verlassen (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) [22:21] [internet]->[static ip cable modem]->[router]->[wired ubuntu server]/[wireless clients] [22:21] I'm thinking it's the router, I've never seen anything like this before, of course I've never had a static ip before either so... [22:22] hey folks; what are files/directories safe to ignore (in my home directory) during backups? (ubuntu 16.04) [22:26] hi guys [22:26] very beginer in linux, need little help with setting up a VPN using OpenVPN, anyone good at this? === gldvvtr_ is now known as gldvvtr [22:32] arooni, well, the cache dir ~/.cache [22:32] I'm trying to transfer some MP3s to my phone via the usb cord...tried to connect via MTP...every few seconds a popup on my phone (samsung note 4) asks if I want to allow or deny the MTP connection. This keeps on screwing up the file transfer. What can I do to stop this from happening? [22:33] pam: sounds like a broken cable [22:33] kll: this happens with a couple of different cables [22:33] can anyone help me? so i manage to install OpenVPN and connect to it from another PC, but on my server i have multiple IPs and i want to asign 1 ip to individual conexion [22:34] it'll be transferring files and then stop halfway through [22:34] or the usb ports on phone/pc? [22:36] We're homeschooling this year, and I wanted to be able to set up a sheet with some math problems for the kids to do. Can't seem to figure out how to get 5, new line, +5, new line, horizontal equals sign. Anyone familiar with LibreOffice Math, or some other program that will let me make worksheets? [22:36] kll: it only stops when I'm transfering files. [22:36] hmm [22:37] hi, any ubuntu based pbx distros? [22:38] Hey guys does anyone know of an alternative where i can easily plot functions by typing something similar to plot(y=x) and integrating functions and stuff [22:38] with a nice gui [22:38] k1l: is there anyway to debug the usb connection while the phone is connected? [22:38] pam: look at dmesg [22:38] smurfendrek123: maxima is pretty good [22:38] just type dmesg? [22:39] pam: yes [22:39] trism, but you can't plot with maxima right? [22:39] smurfendrek123: yes you can in integrates gnuplot [22:39] oh cool [22:39] smurfendrek123: if you get wxmaxima you can see it right in the window [22:40] what's wxmaxima? [22:41] smurfendrek123: it is a gui for maxima [22:41] !info wxmaxima [22:41] wxmaxima (source: wxmaxima): GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima. In component universe, is optional. Version 15.08.2-1 (xenial), package size 3390 kB, installed size 6883 kB [22:41] does it offer advantages, because i don't mind typing in plot and int [22:41] how do i exit maxima lol [22:42] smurfendrek123: ctrl+d [22:42] thanks [22:43] does the gui just offer buttons that pretype some of the syntax for you? [22:44] k1l: here is the dmesg output if you can take a quick look at it http://pastebin.com/0DWg7j5w [22:44] k1l: if you search for samsung it'll take you to the part [22:45] smurfendrek123: yes, there are menus and dialogs and such to simplify plotting and other things [22:45] pam: this looks like disconnect issue. does the phone work on other OS/pcs? [22:46] I haven't checked [22:46] smurfendrek123: but I'm pretty sure it all converts to maxima syntax so I don't think it really does anything maxima doesn't do [22:46] cool thanks trism [22:46] pam: check another usb port. and try to put out other usb devices at the same time. [22:47] any idea on how i get multiple figures in the same graph? [22:47] smurfendrek123: you can use a list, say, plot2d([sin(x), cos(x)], [x, -%pi, %pi]);, but I don't really think general maxima support is appropriate to the channel [22:48] Hi all, I'm trying to install ubuntu 16.04 from the live cd. I went through the entire install process, but when I reboot, Grub doesn't seem boot. [22:48] okay that's it for those questions, huge thanks trism [22:48] I've tried running the disk repair tool === mike_ is now known as Guest14015 [22:48] boot-repair [22:49] but I admit, the UEFI boot process is new to me [22:49] hey guys, chrome with foxyproxy isn't respecting my hosts file, running ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS [22:49] I'm not trying to dual boot [22:49] but [22:49] chrome 52 [22:49] I have a second partition of ext4 data that I'm trying not to erase [22:49] so I don't want to just do the full install [22:49] k1l: looks like its happening on the other usb port as well [22:50] resolv.conf is set to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4, host.conf is set to order hosts,bind [22:50] jjasinski what Os's are you trying to dual boot? [22:50] jjasinski, im having the same problem, errors with UEFI.. [22:50] ping gets the right ip in the hosts file, but chrome doesn't pull the same ip, dns prefetching is disabled (managed by ublock) [22:50] hi there [22:50] timyp, not trying to dual boot. [22:50] but have a second parition that I don't want to erase [22:50] maybe try to enable legacy boot in UEFI [22:50] trying to pull it up in incognito mode where ublock is disabled, can only access the ip via foxyproxy though [22:50] k1l: thanks for everything so far. going to look at this later. [22:51] chrome://dns says prefetching and tcp-preconnect is disabled [22:51] timyp, is that a BIOS setting? [22:51] yea [22:51] maybe you will see something about secure boot, try to disable it and see if the OS boots [22:51] catbeard: sounds more like you need to ask the chrome and/or foxyproxy guys to get an answer on theat [22:51] jjasinski, checkout this ubuntu help page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [22:52] gldvvtr, thainks looking at that link now [22:52] timyp, I have an HP Envy [22:52] It's a bios that's a bit different from what I've seen, but I'll look for that option [22:53] There is a boot order section that has a section for legacy device [22:53] (were I can rearrange the boot order of the devices, but I can't move the legacy stuff above the UEFI stuff) [22:54] maybe http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03653226, so many implementation of UEFI [22:55] there was nothing wrong with good old bios don't know why they had to f* it up [22:55] Thank you timyp, I'll take a look at that [22:55] is there a date when legacy boot will be a thing of the past? [22:56] now these UEFI boards can access the internet directly it's a recipe for disaster. [22:56] thats up to the hardware vendors I suppose [22:56] Ubuntu is suppose to have all the required signing keys for UEFI to boot correctly. [22:57] Good to know. [23:01] my update from 14.04 to 16.04 officially released on July 28th was a total disaster; after installing couldn't boot and etc. had to reinstall 16.06 from zero. just letting you guys know :D [23:01] 16.04* [23:01] yea http://askubuntu.com/questions/493409/is-disabing-secure-boot-needed-for-ubuntu-14-04-dual-boot-with-windows-8-uefi [23:02] disabling secure boot also helps with wifi problems, from what i've read. [23:02] I have gone out of my way to by hardware with traditional bios to avoid having to deal with secure boot. [23:02] using legacy because destiny [23:09] hey, I'm having an issue at work. Seems something went wrong and now kernel has no modules during boot. [23:09] I recognize this by the fact that the USB keyboard isn't working after grub [23:09] net isn't working [23:09] etc [23:09] Hi. If I run sudo echo "#" > /etc/snmp/snmp.conf , I get permission denied. But if I do "sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmp.conf", I can edit it. How is that possible? What am I missing about permissions [23:09] and when I lsmod after booting, the keyboard module isn't loaded. [23:09] barnex: what did you do before? [23:10] k1l: I think I was removing old kernels with some bash loop from serverfault [23:10] because the /boot was getting full [23:10] barnex: what ubuntu is that exactly? [23:10] 14.04 [23:10] is there an older kernel to boot in grub? [23:11] Does anyone here play quake on Linux? namely using FTE? [23:11] well, it's 1 am here and the net module isn't working as well, so hard to tell for sure. But there might be some left. [23:11] barnex: make sure "linux-generic" is installed.it will pull in the latest kernel and headers (which is needed to build modules with dkms) [23:11] ProfessorKaos64: Ask your question. Please do not preface it with audition questions. [23:11] ok, so just installing linux-generic and maybe dpkg-reconfigure should fix this? [23:11] assuming the /boot partition is correctly mounted? [23:12] barnex: no need for dpkg-reconfigure. and yes, /boot needs to be mounted if its a seperate partition [23:12] cool, thanks a lot. [23:12] If anyone uses FTE for quake, have you had trouble saving your video settings or loading them on next start? [23:13] Now the only issue I have is getting lan drivers so I can install, but I guess that's googlable with some lspci. [23:13] ProfessorKaos64: https://www.reddit.com/r/quake/comments/4vmjpz/cant_load_saved_video_settings_in_fte_any_help/ [23:14] This issue? [23:14] Yes... seems as if I am the only one in the world :) [23:14] https://sourceforge.net/p/fteqw/tickets/32/ === abelur is now known as abelur|brb [23:15] Honestly, the only thing I can think of, which probably isn't correct, is that you moved the game to /usr/share... suggesting potential permissions issues? [23:15] the binary is /usr/games the data is /usr/share/quake [23:15] the config file is read from $HOME/.fte/id1/fte.cfg [23:18] Is SteamOS an Ubuntu distro? I thought it was based on Debian. [23:18] it is debian [23:19] It's Debian Jessie , with some tweaks, such as a standalone compositor [23:20] I do have another quake 2 client I packaged, but it would be nice ot use FTE. If I have to, maybe for now, I'll keep my hack in the config file [23:20] if you change the settings, they will saved, then put the hacky "vid_restart "1"" in config file [23:25] Goodnight. [23:25] Oops, wrong room. [23:34] Hi [23:41] i seem to have choked on a kernel update come out today. any others seen that? [23:42] oh. it's fixed now... or is it? [23:44] oh maybe, did a new install of gnome today and it crashed out after i updated lol [23:44] Hi i have a problem i was wondering if anyone could help me with. I'm trying to create a LiveDVD using Geniso image and squashfs. I was able to get almost to the very end of the process but then it complains that the iso file size is over 4.1 GB in size and it stops there. I ran the command mksquashfs --help and it showed that XZ was NOT my deafult compression method which i believe is what caused my ISO file to be larger than 4.1 GB. How do i set my [23:44] compression to be XZ by default on Ubuntu? Any help would be great [23:45] i installed new kernel packages. it complained that it didn't complete properly. i ran autoremove... seems to have fixed the problems. very concerning [23:52] anyone have a thinkpad x240 with a 6 Cell battery? === abelur|brb is now known as abelur [23:58] Hi, I have two GPUs in my desktop, a GTX970 and an Intel card. I would like to load a VM and pass the Intel card through to it. I can do this using a paravirtualized guest in Xen but nvidia's drivers don't cooperate with Xen at all. Is there another option for passing a GPU through that'll let me keep my nvidia card working on the host? [23:58] I don't have VT-d either, I was using Xen's option for PCI passthrough on a non-VT-d CPU.
