[00:01] think I found it :] seems this distro renamed udevadm to udevadm.upgrade and replaced the original with this script, because it was intended for chroot only [00:03] h === superuser is now known as c4ptnh0wdy [00:11] hey can someone help me on how to create a folder within ~/Downloads/ i tried to go to the folder i want to create folder in and typed in "mk ./lpthw/" and "mk /lpthw/" then tried "mk --help" and "mk -man" which neither existed. PS: is there a site that offers this info up? i know a handful of necessary commands within the terminal and im learning python scripting but can (obviously) use a website that could help me to learn the [00:11] BASH commands on a linux dist running unity/debian [00:12] c4ptnh0wdy: to make a dir, you want mkdir [00:12] oh ok, let me try that..thank you [00:13] man something [00:14] c4ptnh0wdy start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:14] MonkeyDust: ty [00:14] Cool celebrity of the week! === laura_ is now known as laura123 [00:16] ive been using linux since win10...its made so messed up that its easier for my grandma to operate than me anymore as compared to the versions that ran DOS in the background so you could get out of situations windows corruped or bugged and undermine it with the proper knowledge of MSDOS. Ubuntu is awesome, hotkeys, terminal commands...reminds me of the good ole days [00:18] Yes its awsome [00:18] hello [00:21] I have a directory tree where i keep and save files for my big web application. Where in the file system hierarchy should this go? [00:23] ok now to move a directory it looks like i type "mv folder -t destinationfolder" do i have to type entire directory of each folder or can i move a folder within ~/Downloads by being at the dir the folder is in, in this case "c:~/Downloads$" and type "mv foldertomove -t destinationdirectoryfolderwithout~/Downloads" [00:24] Nailed it@ [00:24] OMG [00:24] oh my Gentoo [00:26] hellp [00:26] hey guys how would you with the fewest possible commands change: that/D,C,v,r <<>> that/1,2,3,4, with D=1,C=2,v=3,r=4.... ??? [00:31] jedininjarob: huh? === victor is now known as Guest11969 [00:31] echo "D,C,v,r" | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' [00:31] echo "that/D,C,v,r" | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [00:34] yes throw it [00:35] what a pitty [00:36] Hello. Does anyone know how to make mplayer automatically reconnect during the recording of an MMS stream when the connection gets reset? [00:37] c4ptnh0wdy: I am confused by the windows speak " c: " . Are you adressing the ubuntu directory from Windows ? [00:38] ok good sudjestion thank you [00:38] pavlos: thank you [00:39] Or any other idea for recording an MMS stream while using a function to reconnect automatically? [00:40] exit [00:41] Bashing-om: sorry for the confusion, i was trying to type the dir i was in eg... ~: in the terminal so from default home or C:~: i did cd Downloads...so the prompt in terminal shows C:~/Downloads$ [00:41] and im running ubuntu as a second partition so no windows interaction between the two [00:42] pavlos: what if the string didnt alway falow the 1234 sequence what about 3412 or something...tr would just replace it with no stopping ,i need it to replace every ( D, with a 1, ect.. no matter where in the string it is.. [00:43] from there im trying to get it to recognize the dir im trying to move to my new folder lpthw like this, and it isnt quite working "mv ./Learn Python The Hard Way_files -t ./lpthw" [00:44] i am missing a syntax or something because it isnt recognizeing the file, im typing it in case sensitive because i know the BASH requires the right case [00:44] c4ptnh0wdy: Your prompt, still do not understand where you are comming from . My prompt " sysop@1404mini:~/Downloads$ " where my Present Working Directory is "Downloads" . [00:44] guys look this video it helped me with windows 10 update it is better than the other one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL_ife-TNdQ&feature=youtu.be [00:44] sorry wrong channel [00:45] and i assume that ./ is a substitution for the dir you are in [00:45] both folders are in ~/Downloads [00:46] jedininjarob, like this? echo "that/D,C,v,D,D,D,r" | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' [00:46] c4ptnh0wdy: Part of the problem is " Learn Python The Hard Way_files " .. linux sees this as 5 files . a space in linux is a deliminator . There are ways to deal with these spaces, however . [00:47] in the terminal, you open it up and depending on your computers name, and the username you set up, it starts you in home in the terminal...so specifically in my case... "superuser@superuser-Satellite-S50-C:~$ [00:47] pavlos: sweet i though that whats you ment... thank you [00:47] ok, yes it was looking for a folder named Learn [00:49] c4ptnh0wdy: With Downlods as your PWD. do you see your target directory with terminal command ' ls -al ' ? [00:50] i see it w/ ls and no args, but ill try it with those [00:50] pavlos: there a problem...hicup i think.... should ever the string change like that to Dang or Donut, it would change to.....i think we may need something that looks at the second feild only or strips the word in front first....hmmm any ideas? [00:51] jedininjarob, to get specific fields, you can try "cut" [00:51] echo "Donut/D,C,v,D,D,D,r" | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' =1onut/1,2,3,1,1,1,4 [00:52] jedininjarob, which delimiter separates words (/). which numbers (,) ? [00:53] cut with cut -d "/" ? [00:53] yes has the folder listed in blue w/ spaces, if it helps the folder is for viewing an html doc while offline, and im just trying to basically downloads all the files from http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ [00:53] pavlos yes [00:53] that dosent change [00:53] word/,n,u,m, b,de,r [00:54] formate [00:54] sorry, word/n,u,m,b,e,r, [00:55] and the stuff next to the folder w/ the -al shows drwxr-xr-x [00:56] jedininjarob, you may need 2 commands, first to change word/n,u,m,b -> w/n,u,m,b and then the tr to substitute [00:57] c4ptnh0wdy: K . linux handles relative directory paths : one could - with Downloads as the PWD - do ' cp -R " Learn Python The Hard Way_files" folderB/ ' Where my folderB is your actual target directory residing in the directory downloads. [00:58] can anyone give me idea on how to change my guest username here ..kind of new [00:58] Bashing-om: so instead of mv or move, i want to do "cp -R" or copy recursive [00:58] <_44trent_> is it a bad idea for me to update to linux 4.8 to try and get AMDGPU working with my GPU? [00:58] ? [00:59] some thing like cut -d'/' ? [00:59] c4ptnh0wdy: Well ,, preference .. I prefer to copy any omportant file .. and once sure of the result remove the original . Just my preference . mv does not allow for errors . [01:00] Guest96042: your username on here (irc), go to freenode and type in the command "/nick username" if it is not a registered username, it will change you from showing as guest#### to whatever you type after /nik [01:00] esdf [01:02] Bashing-om: i think we share that preference, i was just making sure i understood everything you were saying (cp means copy, -r = recursive) aslo is PWD something like "Prompt Directory"? [01:03] c4ptnh0wdy: So far so good .. PWD as shown above Presnt Working Directory . [01:04] jedininjarob, echo "Donut/c,v,f" | sed 's/\(\w\)\w*/\1/g' [01:05] i think i got it... echo "danginggo/D,C,v,r," | cut -d'/' -f2 | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' [01:05] 1,2,3,4, [01:05] yup [01:06] ok now how do i recombine then now... [01:06] hmmm [01:06] thank you pavlos [01:06] you sett me in the right track i think [01:06] jedininjarob, I thought you needed the 1st chat of the word, try the sed example I sent [01:06] ok [01:07] char [01:07] Donut/c,v,f -> D/c,v,f [01:07] Bashing-om: its still giving me the error..paraphrasing cp: cannot start ' Learning Python The Hard Way_files' no such file or directory. i also tried typing the entire directory ~/Downloads/Learn Python The Hard Way_files and its acting as though the dir doesnt exist [01:07] hmmm...the word in front need to not change only the tags in the second feild [01:08] the first one you gave me worked [01:08] now i need to recombine them [01:08] word/1,2,3,4, [01:08] c4ptnh0wdy: You understand the quoting of the string Learn Python The Hard Way_files , right ? [01:08] Bashing-om: oh for future coms are the options you gave me for list called arguments, switches, or what? im refering to -al or -a -l after list [01:09] yes i put it in quotes [01:09] jedininjarob, echo "Donut/c,v,f" | sed 's/\(\w\)\w*/\1/g' | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' [01:09] let me wrestle w/ the syntax for a bit, im sure its some tiny mistake in how im typing it in, and thanks for your patience w/ a newb...i really appreciate it [01:10] c4ptnh0wdy: what is the target directory you are attempting to copy "Learn Python The Hard Way_files" to ? .. maybe we need to adjust for the target ? [01:10] sorry pavlos that isnt what i need i think [01:10] it changes the word [01:11] but we are on right track i think thought,, [01:11] target dir is ~/Downloads/lpthw/ [01:11] both are within ~/Downloads, both are folders [01:11] c4ptnh0wdy: in a command the descriptor ' argument' or 'switch' either is acceptable . both mean the same . [01:12] ok thanks for clearing that language up for me :) [01:13] jedininjarob, give me the source and dest string [01:14] c4ptnh0wdy: Not to know is not a sin .. we were all new to linux at one time . None of us were born knowing what we know . [01:14] ok awesome i got it... [01:14] source= that/D,C,v,r, needed= that/1,2,3,4, [01:16] Bashing-om: heres what i typed exactly from PWD ~/Downloads: cp -r "./Learn Python The Hard Way_files" -t "./lpthw" it gave no errors so i did "cd lpthw" then ls -la, the file was copied [01:16] now how does one remove the origional file from downloads? rm? [01:16] c4ptnh0wdy: Though often not required .. I do like to be explit with paths ..in that I explit;y tell the system that I am dealing with directoroes .. a traling slash (/) on the folder name declars this as a directory . [01:17] jedininjarob, echo "Donut/c,v,f" | cut -d'/' -f2 | tr '[DCvr]' '[1234]' [01:17] yup thats what i got [01:18] now to brind feild 1 and 2 together after processing [01:19] c4ptnh0wdy: When you try rm the sytem tells you " no can do" the directory is not empty .. so when you know what is in the directory, and are happy to delete the directory and ALL contents ,.. the (R) switch the the rm command . [01:19] don't you need to also use the -f flag if the directory isn't empty? [01:19] rm -rf ./ [01:19] Bashing-om: so your saying instead of being lazy and using "./" go ahead and type the directory long form as in "~/Downloads/Learn Python The Hard Way_files"? [01:20] i did the rm -r...it worked...not sure what the -f switch is [01:20] force [01:20] ohh, thanks [01:22] in this case it deleted it and the files within, now i just have to move the html file to the same directory...givin what mr Bashing has taught me, im hoping i can do that without asking more questions...about to put it to the test lol [01:23] c4ptnh0wdy: in that ^ the system will tell you that you are nuts ! . relative paths / the expression " ./ " says this thing right here in the PWD . lets say the original directory is Learn Python The Hard Way_files , and the destination to be copied to is lpthw . then cp -R "Learn Python The Hard Way_files" /lpthw ..... is all that is needed . [01:24] c4ptnh0wdy: A great teacher : http://mywiki.wooledge.org/Arguments .. is Greg Wooledge . [01:25] hello people please can you check this youtube channel out :) [01:25] https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFkIoSv9Qzs3lvdIB3PNjMA [01:26] youtubepromoter's nick checks out [01:26] o.o [01:26] Bashing-om: thank you so much, these copy move and remove commands are essential to understand and i realize its some real simple stuff to a lot of people, i really appreciate you holding my hand through it till i got it right, a lot of people get annoyed [01:28] Bashing-om: i bookmarked the arguments page you sent...gonna definately check that out because i know very little about args other than -la for ls and -r (recursive for most args) [01:28] d13337: that 'f' in rm -rf is (F)orce, selcom needed and only when there is no other recourse . to Force the system . [01:29] !terminal | c4ptnh0wdy [01:29] c4ptnh0wdy: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [01:29] I mean, short of emptying a directory file by file, then going to ../ and rm -r ./ [01:29] then rm -rf is the quickest, easiest way to rm a non-empty folder [01:30] Will be much easier to run my python scripts from the same PWD..already wrote them and ran them (up to exercise 21" in windows, but thought it would be good practice to try again from scratch on linux so i can run python scripts in both os [01:32] currently learning the boolean logic, but really its a refresher, the only previous scripting ive done was .html in the 90's before flash and java was all over every page and whatever you would call the programming language in a Texas Instruments TI-83 calculator (made programs to prompt for two givin values in algebra equations like ohms law and acceleration due to gravity...made college math a breeze) [01:33] that one worked off of labels and display type commands "Disp D" Lbl 1" === steve____ is now known as sgtaylor5 [01:37] join #freenode [01:37] woops [01:40] c4ptnh0wdy: My take ; once you are confortable with the terminal .. and your desire is a good foundation in linux : http://mywiki.wooledge.org/FullBashGuide .

[01:42] internet security question, is my IP address on display for anyone who types /whois for me or does freenode automatiacally mask you? i know it gives me the info if i /whois myself [01:42] ceon: There is a channel devoted to wine .. #wine . [01:42] okay thanks === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [01:43] Im new ti ICQ sorry [01:43] Bashing-om: i love to learn...i have no real reason to learn python scripting, but my mind is always racing i find it constructive to learn things that interest me even if they seem daunting [01:43] is there a room for ubuntu-mate? [01:43] c4ptnh0wdy: If ya want to mask your IP .. ask in #freenode for a cloak . [01:43] but besides visible and IP? [01:43] how does it work with a service like ICQ? [01:44] I think u have to be some admin? [01:44] most stuff in net is "jusr" redicte by rifgts lol* [01:45] rights [01:45] simple chmod [01:45] anyhow [01:46] But I do not like to work as root on machine [01:46] Bashing-om: im kinda new to IRC's more complicated functions, but thanks for the help. if there is such a thing as a friends list feel free to add me and private message anytime if just to shoot the breeze. i have registered this nick [01:46] no u englis is to perfect c4 [01:46] but thanks [01:47] c4ptnh0wdy: Here we are just one (mostly) happy family .

[01:49] who the fuck cares? [01:49] c4ptnh0wdy: Good thought . Hang loose . One can waste time worse elsewhere . [01:50] Debian language is english [01:50] the code is lol* hmm [01:50] C ? [01:50] C is okay [01:50] its straight and always does what human say ;-) [01:52] Next week I have to buy some software [01:52] windows 10 [01:53] Mine son in law s laptop need a service :-) [01:53] he ai nt like linux - to bad. [01:56] I got problems with graphix and xrandr [01:57] everytime I boot mine pc [01:57] it will just regonize on screen [01:57] and the othert is on 1024xshit [01:57] :-) [01:58] ceon: You can create a script with xrandr... [01:58] okay [01:58] could u help me with it? [01:59] ceon: I go through this every time I boot - I have a dual monitor setup - and in order to properly deal with the resolution and layout, I have installed "arandr" (a GUI for xrandr) and created a script to reset my configuration(s) [01:59] ceon: I can only try my best, mate. [01:59] I allready dis and plugged again min Belkom KVM [01:59] thanks [02:00] arandr :-) [02:00] ceon: You shouldn't have to deal with plugging/unplugging hardware - as that is not the issue - the issue is the software and OS - so you need to work those out - and you'll end up with a happy situation. [02:00] you seem to be very wise [02:00] ceon: What is the desktop you're using - Unity, Mate, Cinnamon, XFce, LxDE? [02:00] ceon: No...I just have broken many things :) [02:00] gnome? [02:00] I surg a Kali [02:00] f [02:01] it worked so wonderfull [02:01] ceon: Ok...fair enough...here's the easy go -> Open a terminal, and type: sudo apt-get install arandr [02:01] and git almost all codes I need for university installed :-( [02:01] thanks [02:03] ceon: After you install "arandr" - start the application, set the primary monitor, set the resolutions you wish, then when you do "Save" - you'll see that you can generate a script (bash script) that will force the configuration - so, you can set that script in your "Autostart" folder/directory - and it will set up your monitors for you when you login to Gnome3, mate. [02:04] I got no rights this account [02:04] but I ll try it thanks [02:06] ceon: You do definitely need to have the permissions to reset the monitor configurations... [02:06] i am trying to set the desktop background of ubuntu unity using a python script. using gsettings, i was able to do this. but how do i apply effects like fill, stretch and tile as found in the desktop preferences from the script?

[04:41] Kirito: the ppa has a broken set up, and I fixed it by hand, updating it might break it again [04:41] You can have apt hold packages back if needed, though you should generally be cautious when doing that [04:41] ah, have you sent a bug report in about it? [04:41] And yeah, you could hold the package back temporarily [04:42] Kirito: no bug report, cause it is very specific. What's the hold command? How to google its use?

[06:49] as not an upgrade? yes [06:50] dsjkl: And you have data in /home that makes reinstallation a non-option?

[06:51] i can chroot into it from the install cd, but i have no idea what to do next [06:52] dsjkl: First check your installation media that it is ok (md5sum). Then reinstall and you may choos /home not to be formatted if you wish.

[06:52] ubuntu does not have /home [06:52] dsjkl: Well it depends on your choices. [06:52] dsjkl, so you have not data to lose then. [06:53] ubuntu does not give a choice to have a /home [06:53] dsjkl: If you have not defined a separate /home partition that's a reason to reinstall. [06:53] dsjkl, of course it does. use the "install something else" option at install time or set up a /home post-install [06:53] dsjkl: yes it does [06:53] dsjkl: Yes it does. Use advanced configuration when partitioning. [06:55] dsjkl: Having a separate /home partition is a brilliant idea because 1) you can backup the data on that and 2) you can leave that partition intact when upgrading or installing. [06:56] Of course one can backup data elsewhere as well but it is so simple to just backup a whole partition. [07:00] Hello. Could someone take a look at my 'sudo chkrootkit' output? Just let me know on which website should I paste. Thanks.

[07:08] and the USB [07:09] it was torrent [07:09] not what I asked you. [07:09] you downloaded an .iso. DID you verify the .iso with md5sum? [07:09] i didn't download an iso, i torrented it [07:09] DID YOU VERIFY THE ISO? [07:10] :) [07:10] dsjkl: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/how-to-verify [07:11] guys you know how torrents work, right? [07:11] ou dear [07:11] dsjkl, do you know how to answer a simple question? [07:11] dsjkl: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto#On_hard_disk [07:13] mathlover97: did you create the user account of username23 yourself (or someone else managing this computer)? === croppa_ is now known as croppa [07:14] tomreyn, the username23 is my current user account's name (I know .. weird name to pick) [07:15] install medium verified ok [07:16] mathlover97: ok. about ebury, here's some ways to verify manually: https://www.cert-bund.de/ebury-faq [07:17] i'd also double check with rkhunter, and keep in mind those utilities do not provide complete coverage and are prone to false positives (and probably false negatives, too) [07:18] kind of like a virus scanner [07:20] tomreyn, I see. How do I find my eruby's version? eruby --version isn't working [07:22] mathlover97: eBURy (not eRUBy) is a malware. it won't provide a --version output. [07:23] tomreyn, i thought it was program that could get compromised for a moment. anyway :) === Detective is now known as Agent [07:25] good morning [07:26] mathlover97: no, think of it more as the name given to a specific attack. [07:26] hi Ralph [07:32] tomreyn, the 'ipcs -m' command returns me a lot of stuff, including this one; '0x00000000 10387487 username23 600 33554432 2 dest' [07:32] the article talks about up to 3megabyte files. this one is 30 [07:33] i tried to install ubuntu, and the installer crashed [07:33] now the computer boots into the grub prompt [07:33] how do i change my dns servers globally? also how do i install wicd [07:33] re-install dsjkl? [07:33] !dns | bmintz [07:33] bmintz: To set up a Domain Name Service see the !serverguide - https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/dns.html [07:34] no i don't want to host one cfhowlett [07:36] mathlover97: it also discusses memory segments onwed by root, and not destroyed, though. you'd probably be better off asking those application specific questions in an application specific channel (if there is one). [07:36] tomreyn, ok, thanks :) [07:37] dsjkl, clarify: the INSTALLER crashes? at what stage? [07:38] when it configures the system [07:38] Hey. [07:38] What DMs are now popular? [07:38] the window appears saying the installer just crashed [07:38] Furai: gnome3 and unity [07:38] dsjkl, but this is a different error than you first reported, yes? [07:38] i presume it crashes in the same spot every time [07:39] dsjkl, .... [07:39] dsjkl, so either using stock or going back to basics? [07:39] but i will not install it in the 3rd time just to check [07:39] cfhowlett: what? [07:39] you're not interested in verifying the fault so ... best of luck? [07:40] What about all these k-/x-/l-/ubuntu flavours? They just use different DEs? Right? [07:40] !flavors | Furai [07:40] Furai: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE [07:40] Furai: more or less [07:41] So far I odn't like unity. Maybe I'll just go with pure gnome. [07:41] Furai: maybe [07:41] What DEs people usually use? [07:41] I've got an external monitor hooked up to my laptop via VGA. How can I force my laptop to use the external monitor from startup? (The laptop screen is busted) [07:41] Furai: there's also ubuntu-mate, if it suits your better [07:41] i use XFCE [07:41] Furai then one they installed. anyway, easy enough to test [07:41] woopwoop [07:41] cfhowlett, using popcon i assume? [07:42] Furai, sudo apt install lxde xfce4 will grab those those 2 DE. logout/choose a DE/login [07:42] i'm not interested in verifying anything, i want my computer working [07:42] antonio2: which ubuntu version? [07:42] Yeah, I heard som rumours about xfce. [07:42] Seems it's good. [07:42] cfhowlett: its xubuntu-desktop and lubuntu-desktop metapackaage [07:42] dsjkl, you reported one error at first. then you reported a different error. troubleshooting practice is to reproduce the error and verify the details. you are not will to do so ... [07:42] no not lxfce [07:42] never :D [07:43] cfhowlett: what different error? can't you read? [07:43] baizon, true but I was only referencing the DE, not the full meal deal. [07:43] cfhowlett: ou ou, ok [07:43] dsjkl, best you get help elsewhere. again: best of luck [07:43] so xubuntu uses xfce? [07:43] Furai, indeed [07:44] Ok, thanks. [07:44] happy2help! [07:44] I think I can go from this point. [07:44] yes [07:44] cfhowlett, then get xfce4 i think [07:44] dsjkl: the best thing to do is to try to reinstall, and when the installer crashes, to come here and ask for help, so that people here can ask for error logs, try certain actions etc. "It crashed and now it doesn't boot" is too generic to get help from that. [07:44] Maybe last thing - anyone using mainline kernels with ubuntu? [07:44] !kernel | Furai [07:44] Furai: 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) [07:45] screw error logs, I asked how to fix the broken system [07:45] cfhowlett, I've seen that before. [07:45] dsjkl: we answered; reinstall [07:45] But that doesn't cover my question. [07:45] I've asked if anyone here actually uses it. [07:45] alkisg: i reinstalled it and it crashed again [07:46] Furai, see the part where the mainline kernel is mentioned as an option and NOT the default? that is your answer [07:46] ok great! now that you reinstalled you should have the error logs. can we have them please? [07:46] dsjkl: I understand, but without knowing what's going wrong at the point of the crash, we don't know if the installation can be fixed at all, or not [07:46] ^ [07:46] bmintz: where? [07:46] when it crashed did you get a "report this error" screen? [07:46] dsjkl: e.g. if the crash happened when installing grub, then only grub needs to be reinstalled, while if it happened when copying files, all the installation needs to happen again [07:47] ^ [07:47] how do i change my dns servers globally? also how do i install wicd [07:47] whoops hit ctrl+w expecting to delete a word [07:48] can i just do `sudo apt install NetworkManager; and sudo apt install wicd`? [07:48] bmintz: you can specify dns settings in the network manager connection settings... [07:48] ik that [07:49] but nm is so dumb you have to do that for EACH connnectin [07:49] and of course I don't have any logs as they were in a livecd session [07:49] bmintz, probably. simulate it: apt-get -s install wicd will tell you [07:50] dsjkl, reboot. go to "try ubuntu". THEN start the install process. when it crashes you will have logs available [07:50] ^^^^^^^ [07:50] that's also liveCD [07:50] again? [07:50] dsjkl, reboot. go to "try ubuntu". THEN start the install process. when it crashes you will have logs available [07:50] yes [07:51] dsjkl: yes, the key point is that you have to be inside the live session when you report the error to know what went wrong, either to report it or even to just work around it [07:53] bmintz: you can speifyc dns=none in NetworkManager.conf, and put your nameservers in resolv.conf [07:53] man NetworkManager.conf [07:54] omg [07:54] ty [08:00] can I from volume control bar, remove microphone volume option? === fgdgf is now known as radulence84 [08:30] hi, I'm trying to get a script (pwnat) to run automatically when a wireless interface is brought online, because it needs to know the ip address of the interface, how do I do this? [08:33] intx: are you using network-manager? put it in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d [08:33] I'm using the default, so I think so, thanks :) [08:36] alkisg: how would I get the ip address of the interface being brought online? [08:38] well your script should already do that [08:39] intx: parse the output of ip or ifconfig === blackmamba is now known as Guest597 [08:47] Is it possible to install a DHCP server on Ubuntu desktop or do I have to install Ubuntu server? [08:48] also i might need a tftp daemon [08:50] my ssh agent or whatever seems to be broken, I cannot login to any server via ssh [08:50] JabberMouth: the repos are in common between ubuntu and ubuntu server [08:50] EriC^^: so I can use a dhcp server on a laptop that runs ubuntu? [08:50] and are there any good fake dns servers out there? [08:51] try with ssh's -v flag [08:51] OnceMe: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-regenerate-openssh-host-keys/ [08:52] I need to run dhcp and dns on the wifi network at school on my laptop [08:52] hand out addresses that are in the right subnet, the only difference from the real DHCP server being that it would be directing clients to use me as a DNS === Fuchs is now known as Lausefuchs [08:53] then I just need a DNS relay that replaces all queries with a porn site [08:53] and the entire school gets nothing but porn [08:53] is this a feasible plan? [08:53] no, and doesn't belong in this channel [08:53] JabberMouth: this is nothing we will help you do. [08:53] hi [08:54] ducasse: what if I just bring in a laptop and a windows tablet and run a few simultaneous iperf tests between them [08:54] thats pretty harmless right? [08:54] you're in the wrong channel, guy [08:54] JabberMouth: why not ask the school admin? [08:55] ducasse: you mean my I.T. teacher? [08:55] he's a bumbling idiot [08:56] i want to see him try to figure out whats going on [08:56] in class [08:56] JabberMouth: take this crap somewhere else. it isn't ubuntu support [08:56] Ben64: it is if the laptop is running ubuntu with a linux based dhcpd [08:57] nope, this is an ubuntu support channel, not a #wannabeascriptkiddie [08:57] oh is that a real channel? [08:57] yes [08:59] liar [08:59] lol [08:59] you joined it, right? then it's real [09:00] lol [09:00] fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap fap [09:00] I don't understand olympic gymnastics.... [09:00] Since when is spreading your legs considered a respectable way to make a living? [09:00] JabberMouth: so get on topic or go away [09:01] Is on topic related to Selena Gomez [09:01] meh [09:03] think i have root user and alice user , alice have encrypted partition on their Home , could main root user to open files of encrepted partition of /home from alice ? this question is for security level of encrypted partition that is encrypted always or root could to decrypte them [09:03] hi [09:03] hello [09:03] k fam [09:03] Azitrex: if alice is logged in, then yes [09:05] Ben64: no alice is not loggined and root wants to see what are the alice files in their home path [09:05] can't then [09:05] Azitrex: Then root needs to ask alice for the password. [09:06] even main root ? [09:06] Yes. [09:06] it's not a permissions issue, it's encrypted [09:06] Being root doesnt mean you know all the passwords. [09:07] yes ben it's logical but i thinked encrypte key maybe stored in any config file that main root could to see it [09:07] if it worked like that, it'd be useless [09:07] Azitrex: The password is not stored anywhere. [09:10] i want to used a encrypted partition for sensetive database (mysql) files and main project on the server and i afriad from my admin to check them oneday and copy them if he want to sell to any person [09:10] you should use a machine you control [09:10] Your database will fail to start then. [09:11] And you should be using a machine under your control, as Ben64 said. [09:11] if mysql service had to user permision then dont could to work in encrypted partition ? [09:12] Forget about permissions. [09:12] main server is shared in our company and any section of working have a place for work , but admin is not have healthy personality ! [09:12] How do you want to run a database from an encrypted folder when you are not the admin? [09:14] bekks: i have a root user permision in server , and i could to make more username by it [09:14] If you are root - why is someone else root, too? [09:14] my root is not main root , i have root username with root permision but not as main root [09:15] There is no such thing as "main root" at all. [09:15] because law of admin ! [09:15] If you have root, it means "I am the one having access to the root account of a machine". [09:15] yes it's [09:16] So you are root. [09:16] Why is someone else root, too? [09:17] but what is solution for this case ? i have a not healthy admin and must be running a sensetive Project in machine and i dont want to see copy of project in any other hand [09:17] run it on a machine only you have root on [09:17] only way [09:18] bekks: i dont know , main admin defined that and say to our must be work with that [09:18] Azitrex: Forget the state of mind of anyone else. Ensure you are the only one having root access to that machine. [09:18] If you cant ensure that, dont run your mysql stuff there. [09:20] a technical question when i had a service that worked with files in a encrypted partition and with all permission why dont worked with files ? [09:20] Can you rephrase that, it doesnt make any sense so far. [09:22] but it's a require feature i think ! [09:22] Azitrex: Can you rephrase what you said, it does not make any sense. [09:23] Azitrex: If you want to encrypt your server, install a server onl you have access to, and use full disk encryption. [09:23] *only [09:25] many thanks guys === erwin is now known as easyOnMe [10:32] When user logged in, it will automatically execute dircolors -b [10:32] Where that come from?

[10:43] it's always a ppa [10:43] the name "container0" suggests it maybe an lxc container too which may have packages locked/altered from the hypervisor [10:44] tomreyn, http://pastebin.com/D4cJn4jT [10:44] bekks, http://pastebin.com/XBj0MR0b [10:46] indeed it is an LXC container, the line that started all this was me typing: "sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential" [10:48] so there are some basic pre-sript errors, I'd look at them first [10:48] I'd then do a clean up [10:48] then look at what's left [10:48] rictoo: sudo apt-get install -f [10:48] yeah, thats not going to help [10:48] tomreyn, i have the output for that as the last part of the paste to tomreyn [10:48] oh thats you sorry :P [10:49] rictoo: you ran it without sudo though [10:49] this is so sad i wish i had made a snapshot T.T [10:49] What is the difference between: bash -c scp -t /etc/nginx/filename and scp -t /etc/nginx/filename [10:49] rictoo: sorry ignore that, you are working as root [10:49] ah [10:49] yeah [10:52] hi [10:52] you 're faggots [10:52] The best Operating System is Microsoft Windows XP [10:52] Ice_Strike, in the first command with "bash -c" there are probably quotes missing [10:53] is there a way to upgrade Intel graphics drivers in 14.04?

[10:54] rictoo: your file system might be full (check: df -h), but it's more likely to do with lxc capabilities / apparmor [10:54] Ice_Strike, you could redirect the output of scp to a logfile [10:55] how?

[10:56] Kirito yes, but that's for #ubuntu-offtopic [10:56] and on my server I want to log it [10:56] Ice_Strike, then you'll have to refer to your SSH server's manual [10:57] Ice_Strike, i'm pretty sure usual server software can log that, just don't know the details :) [10:57] ok ;) [10:57] thanks [10:57] Ice_Strike, are you going to have a program react to incoming files? [10:57] MonkeyDust, Sure, if you consider the Ubuntu Software Center offtopic, I guess [10:57] Sven_vB No, just logging purpose. [10:57] ok [10:58] Kirito, big fun, no files at all, https://sourceforge.net/projects/guayadeque/files/ [10:58] yep :/ [10:59] Seems to be abandoned completely actually. Not even in the Ubuntu repositories any more. Oh well [10:59] hello world! [10:59] Kirito, tons of other mediaplayers [11:00] Yeah. I was just looking that one up on a passing reference. Unfortunately I haven't really found any that I like enough to use daily [11:01] of course I also mostly just listen to Spotify [11:02] I guess Spotify technically counts since it can play local audio too though, just can't do what I was looking for :D which is output to ALSA directly, instead of pulseaudio [11:02] Hello, can someone help me with driver issues? [11:02] Zanzibar82: You need to ask a specific question before. :) [11:05] thanks bekks. I am on ubuntu 16.04, machine is a dell studio 1555, issue is about overheating, probably because of vga drivers. Gpu is RV710 [11:07] Zanzibar82: "probably" doesnt indicate any problem. What is the exact problem you are having, and why do you think it is a problem with your vga drivers? [11:10] Zanzibar82, did you install & setup lm-sensors? [11:10] can you pastebin the output of 'sensors' ?? [11:14] oh wait, core2duo t6500 ... max temp 105°C / 221 F .. [11:14] 0erHerks installing now, reporting back soon [11:14] hi guys i installed 16.04 now my network interface isnt working [11:18] Pr070cal: Why not? [11:20] 0erHeks here you go http://pastebin.com/6P72Xp25 [11:21] Zanzibar82, i see all within limits, and the dell hardware is recognised. [11:21] i checked intel > http://ark.intel.com/products/39311/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T6500-2M-Cache-2_10-GHz-800-MHz-FSB [11:21] that gave me a clue, it is a hot cpu [11:24] OerHeks you're right, but things change as soon as any "gpu-intensive" task is on, like browser flash contents or hd videos [11:25] Zanzibar82, are you on 16.04?? [11:25] on a different OS it's cooler anyways [11:25] yes I am, sir [11:25] AMD is supported by the open radoen driver ( or AMDgpu for newest cards) [11:25] c/radeon [11:25] still the temps are within the specs ... [11:26] I don't think we can do something about that :-( [11:26] Except cleaning the fan :) [11:27] indeed, bekks, but i doubt it makes a huge difference [11:28] well I guess you guys are right and it' all in my mind, and I'm asking too much to this old machine. Thanks for the help, I'll try cleaning up the fan as soon as i have the time, as really it looks like the only thing I can try. [11:28] play video full screen, that could release some stress from the CPU/GPU [11:29] 0erHeks yes indeed [11:30] but I'll try the fan cleaning, never did that since 2009. Guess the time has come [11:31] Thanks for support, have a nice day. === anonymous is now known as Guest50414 [11:37] Here again, the other question I had: there's an application that launches by terminal with sudo, but crashes at start if launched by its icon === blackmamba is now known as Guest82004 [11:38] c [11:38] Zanzibar82: you should not start graphical applications using sudo. [11:39] Zanzibar82: try launching it without sudo from the terminal and see any errors [11:39] but that's the only way to launch it [11:39] Zanzibar82: using sudo to start a graphical application is NOT the right way to do that. [11:39] Zanzibar82: And which application do you talk about? [11:40] Hey there! Ubuntu 16.04 uses Linux 4.4.. So is it possible to use a new nstalled kernel without rebooting? [11:40] elacheche: No. [11:41] Why not bekks, live pathing was supposed to be supported in linux 4.0, it's not there yet? [11:42] elacheche: "was supposed"? Never heard of it. [11:42] elacheche: And even with the mechanisms developed by redhat and oracle, it is not possible to 100% exchange a running kernel. [11:42] elacheche: its included since kernel 4.0 iirc. but you need to make special kernels for that features (which ubuntu doesnt atm) [11:43] when i try to get an iso on an usb drive it always freezes on 49% and after a while this error appears http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=19530721 using startup disk creator.

[11:43] elacheche: Did you already take a deep look into technologies like ksplice? [11:43] k1l_: the server kernel don't come with that as well? [11:44] elacheche: i doubt since the kernel is the same for server and desktop. [11:44] hello, is there a standard which specify user writable folders? eg. I have a .py file, was told to copy to /usr/local/bin, but my os doesn't have this path. [11:44] how can i fix this mbr problem?

[13:06] i don't want minimal cd btw nor server versions [13:06] no one ? [13:07] jianu81: 14.10 is dead already [13:07] jianu81 14.10 is dead [13:07] jianu81: 12.04 , 14.04 and 16.04 are supported right now [13:07] try lubuntu 12.04 i guess [13:07] lubuntu has problems [13:07] would prefer to use xubuntu [13:08] jianu81: but you will need to make a minimal install and install only the packages you want. since i doubt 3GB will be nough for a regular desktop at all === ubunto is now known as tarikkiko [13:08] i'm too much of a beginner for that [13:08] plus [13:08] my device [13:08] xubuntu 12.04 then?

[13:08] k1l_ said a good idea [13:08] well it's weird [13:08] use wifi [13:09] not detected [13:09] howevr it is in the kernel [13:09] jianu81: well, you are stating quite impossible requirements [13:09] why ? [13:09] from what i remember lubuntu 15.04 fitted perfectly on 2gb ? [13:09] "i want a full blown desktop but only have tiny space. and i dont want to do a minimal install" [13:09] cause it's usually 6g for an install or so [13:09] i can go for an older version [13:09] jianu81: are you talking about the actual hdd space or the live usb?

[13:10] jianu81: lubuntu 15.04 didn't fit 2gb [13:10] it used 2gb * [13:10] the live usb is like 800mb [13:10] dave101: ok, good. did it solve your remote access problem?

[13:13] jianu81: again: what device is that? [13:13] jianu81: use the server image, and install just the packages you need. i recently installed 16.04 with i3 in less than 2gb. [13:13] a laptop [13:13] jianu81: why don't you make a live usb image with a partition you can save your data to? [13:13] with a broken ssd [13:13] how do i do that ? [13:13] replace the ssd [13:13] i also would like something ubuntu basd and official [13:14] put a xubuntu iso on it, and use grub to boot that, and have the rest 3gb as a partition for space [13:14] who else is from greece :D ?

[13:16] jianu81: or you put a lan cable in it for install [13:16] i don't have a slot for that [13:16] it's an ultrabook [13:17] let's say i use a live cd [13:17] how long til you get another ssd? === RalphBa is now known as RalphBa|smoking [13:17] well since i'm a student [13:17] probably in a few months [13:17] by the way [13:17] let's say i use a live cd === Silverbaq is now known as silverbaq [13:17] do you have 2 usb's ? [13:18] could i use the usb i booted from as storage ? [13:18] the 4gb and another usb? [13:18] yeah [13:18] jianu81: yeah with persistence you can [13:18] ok [13:18] i'll try that [13:18] or do ducasse 's idea of a server install, and chroot from a live usb and install whatever stuff you need for wifi/desktop === silverbaq is now known as Silverbaq [13:19] EriC^^: ok going uefi [13:19] not sure if it's relevant to this chat but here it is the error that th ssd gives : http://pastebin.com/wfLJzFBa [13:19] the bonus of that would be better (you get kernel updates and stuff like that which dont come with persistence) [13:19] i am doing fresh install of linux and win so purging everything [13:20] OnceMe: ok, sounds good [13:21] by the way [13:21] i have an intel 7260 [13:21] EriC^^: ok now in windows partitioner I have drive 0 7 partitions [13:21] can I purge them all? I have data backup [13:21] that's what is not detected in minimal install [13:21] OnceMe: yeah nuke them [13:22] done now I have 930 unlocated space :D [13:23] ok ive made a new partition of 200000MB [13:23] best way to do partitioning right is ask on irc, yeah [13:23] windows made 4 partitions though, one recovery one for system and one for MSR Reserved [13:23] I guess thats all fine EriC^^? [13:23] anyway [13:23] minimal iso needs wired networking, i think your demand is unrealistic, 3 gb ... jianu81 [13:23] OnceMe: sounds right [13:24] i have found a way to get wired networking [13:24] the most simple idea ever [13:24] just using my wi-fi [13:24] from my phone [13:24] mobile data* [13:24] so [13:24] should i use minimal install or server edition [13:25] jianu81: what is your goal [13:25] running ubuntu on a 3gb device [13:25] hi, is it possible to set permissions to stay in a folder even if someone from the group create new files in it ? [13:25] EriC^^: ok installing windows now, just a heads up, when I install ubuntu 14.04 I do it in uefi aswell? [13:25] jianu81: i'd say give up. [13:26] OerHeks: minimal iso supports wi-fi [13:26] why ? [13:26] OnceMe: yeah they have to be in the same mode [13:26] 3GB is too small [13:26] i'm asking about minimal [13:26] or server edition [13:26] user alloxrinfo and server www-data, added alloxrinfo to group www-data so that it can have write access on www-data created files except the www-data script i'm using is creating www-data:www-data files with 0644 so only the owner has write access [13:26] I think he is trying to install ubuntu in an ultrabook with 2gb ram and broken ssd [13:26] if the ssd is broken, where is it being installed [13:27] that's an excellent question 😸 [13:27] on an external storage device [13:27] maybe he can enlighten us [13:27] usb? [13:27] jianu81: is there another os on this disk already, is that why you only have 3gb? [13:27] anyone ? [13:28] no [13:28] but i need the other free space [13:28] so i'm making two partitions [13:28] is it enough for a minimal install ? [13:28] with openbox ? [13:28] use a liveusb, an actual install over usb is way too slow [13:28] flux242, if his wifi adapter does not work, minimal iso is useless as it has no live mode. [13:28] jianu81: should be, as i said earlier. [13:29] Hi, I am installing ubuntu server for the first time.

[13:33] nope [13:34] a firewall is nothing to do with a web sever [13:34] So it's built in? [13:34] nope === mgodzill- is now known as mgodzilla [13:37] !gufw [13:37] Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo [13:37] netfilter is built-in right? [13:38] into kernel [13:38] ut us [13:38] it is [13:38] so it's yep, not nope [13:39] no it's not [13:39] what is not? [13:41] firewalls are not built into webservers and not really anything to do with it, while netfilter is part of the kernel, how you use that functionality will at least require configuration, at worst additional software, [13:43] he asked if firewall is built-in into the system [13:43] not quite what he really was looking at though if you read the question, but it really doesn't matter, [13:43] !gufw [13:44] ufw is just the netfilter manager [13:45] it's actually an interface into iptables, not netfilter direct [13:45] ufw needs a "remove all" feature.

[13:47] i've been running my ubuntu system without swap for a very long time now. never been a problem. i have 16G of ram, and intend to expand to 32 some day. if i put some swap space on my SSD how much is "enough"? recomended? [13:47] no idea off the top of my head [13:48] probably something like "flush" [13:48] Gallomimia: no more than 4GB would be needed unless it's a desktop/laptop that you're planning to use suspend on [13:48] 4GB [13:48] no i don't use suspend. 4g is.... tiny. [13:48] thats more than enough [13:48] 32 gb is huge ... [13:48] yes [13:48] 16g is huge [13:49] i'm pretty much always using 25% ram for actual processes, and the rest for cache [13:49] Gallomimia, I don't think you need swap at all [13:49] depends what you do with your machine. if you don't crush numbers with it, you probably won't need that much swap [13:49] swap can be useful even if you don't actually need it [13:49] so, that's pretty awesome. [13:49] I'd love to see the difference between 4gb and 32 with a forkbomb [13:50] lordcirth: i agree. i've never had it, in all the time i've had the machine [13:50] but, i do hear swap is used for a few extra things besides paging out [13:50] during the installation of Ubuntu server, according the instructions I was reading it says I am suppose to select "openssh server" from the list and nothing else. I highlighted "openssh server" and hit return on the keyboard. I think I made a mistake, not sure if that meant I selected it. Straight away the installation continued. After installation will I get the chance to select "openssh server" again, incase I didn't do it during installation? [13:50] you can remove it [13:50] after installation [13:51] LibertyWeNeed: no, you probably didn't select it. usually space is to select, enter is to move forward [13:51] Hello guys, I'm looking help. My wifi time to time have crazy disconnet issues. Can you look how to fix it: http://bit.ly/wifi_problem [13:51] but yes, you can install the open ssh server after [13:51] Vy7au7as, again that bit.ly with a log, what wifi? what driver? what ubuntu version ? [13:52] Gallomimia, that's a relief. I am just really nervous because I have never really used a command line only OS before. [13:52] please use pastebin.ubuntu.com if you wish to share info [13:52] LibertyWeNeed: well, one thing's for sure. you will get better at command line. [13:53] Gallomimia, thanks for that encouragement [13:53] haha. its my experience and opinion that the only way to truly learn about command line is to be forced to use it for something [13:53] LibertyWeNeed: what are you installing it on? some headless server? [13:53] Virtual Box [13:54] you CAN install the desktop part of the OS after install too [13:54] I am following this guide [13:54] http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2012/11/how-to-set-up-a-safe-and-secure-web-server/ [13:54] LibertyWeNeed: third party guides are normally not very good [13:54] be aware of terrible guides, %40 of the question in this channel are people following terrible guides [13:54] its my understanding that ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop are identical, except for the installers, and the packages that get installed at the start. [13:55] LibertyWeNeed: also note that it's nearly 4 years old. [13:55] that's a very long time in web technology [13:55] ikonia, so what is a non-thirdparty guide? [13:55] the ubuntu wiki, the ubuntu help pages [13:55] Gallomimia, I sort of hoped that would be the case because I would be totally lost if there was nothing similar to the desktop and server [13:56] in fact you can probably do all that stuff with the desktop installer too [13:56] LibertyWeNeed: already that guide is filled with bad info and practices [13:56] and I'm only on page two of it [13:56] HAH look at the stickers on the servers in that guide! [13:57] aqua teen hunger force baby [13:57] Hello; I'm under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS; I've got a problem with Git and Github; When I try to clone or update a repository, I get the following error: "fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/USER/REPOSITORY.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt CRLfile: none". [13:57] I figured the certificate of GitHub changed, and tried to update it manually, but to no avail so far. [13:57] What's the best way to fix this issue? [13:58] Ilmen: your certificate chain is messed up [13:58] CRLfile: "none" [13:58] ikonia & or Gallomimia, would you be able to point me to a guide that you recommend instead? for setting up a web server. Assume I am an absolute beginner at this. [13:59] i don't believe i can no [13:59] Okay; I don't know much about SSL and certificates, it's the first time I run into this issue. Formerly I was able to use GitHub with no problem, @ ikonia [14:00] uh, yeah LibertyWeNeed the php module it tells you to use is obsolete. [14:02] Gallomimia, really? I didn't even think I would need PHP for this. [14:02] well, depends on all the stuff you want to do. but php is pretty common for things like wordpress [14:02] LibertyWeNeed: there are tutorials on the digitalocean website that i know a lot of beginners say are good, but i haven't really looked at them.

[14:10] Gallomimia, no, the b is for block [14:10] hm [14:10] hi guys, i'm learning bash in ubuntu and was wondering what the difference is between these 2 functions: http://kopy.io/h62uc [14:11] thats OerHeks, ok my ubuntu it's 16.04.1 x86, with drivers and wifi please give me commands and I give you answers [14:11] what do the parentheses add? they seem to do the exact same thing, but sometimes i see functions using them, sometimes i do not [14:11] i do already have device mapper engaged for crypt and LVM so.. i was going to get in on that [14:11] Ilmen: you're reconfiger command spelled certificates wrong. left out an i [14:11] Oh [14:11] wow. and i spelled a bunch of stuff wrong [14:12] aWebDev, they do what parens usually do in programming - they group things within them together. In this case, there is no difference, since there is nothing outside [14:12] ah i see [14:14] aWebDev: no, he is wron [14:14] g [14:14] there's big difference [14:14] sometimes i also see functions using parenthesis with only 1 line, though [14:15] could you elaborate flux242x [14:16] execute the code http://kopy.io/LSzsj [14:16] oke one moment please [14:17] how do I install open ssh server from the terminal? [14:17] Since I've upgraded to ubuntu 16.04, Steam won't open via the desktop icon. However, if I run "LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' DISPLAY=:0 steam" in terminal, it runs fine. How do I make the .desktop file run this when I click it?

I'll do that. Because using the command interface for everything, is too much for me to do right now. I need more time to grasp the basic concepts of how to run a server before I go there. [15:04] its not just a name for eth0 [15:04] eth0 is obsolete and not referenced [15:04] LibertyWeNeed: just instal ubuntu from the desktop installer [15:04] LibertyWeNeed: you don't need a "server" install to run a server [15:05] hi all [15:07] this is a frustrated user, (not because of ubuntu, just because of the mate bindings), ubuntu mate running, mate-terminal replaced konsole and konsole no longer works, then F12 is doing something strange, pops up a terminal, then i disabled it, and when using F12 in emacs (for a slash, emacs binding) then *emacs disappears* [15:07] understood iKonia [15:07] thanks [15:10] anyone know why the memory reported by gnome-system-monitor is so different than top?

[17:45] I've thought about adding "nomodeset" in kernel boot command but I'ld like to have your opinion before doing it. Should I do something else? [17:45] And any idea why it tells me about nv while I've uninstalled the driver (I think it should be managed by 'nouveau' driver now)?

[19:31] I've been having a very... interesting problem [19:31] I'm running Ubuntu MATE but my system is convinced that it's Trisquel [19:31] I think that packages are downloading incorrectly because of it [19:31] Does anyone know how I can fix this? [19:32] c_t_f: let me guess: you installed a trisquel PPA? [19:32] I may have but I'm not sure [19:32] How could I check? [19:32] or you ran that trisquel script (that makes the system a trisquel and removes and excahnges stuff). [19:33] what does lsb_release -a say? [19:33] No LSB modules are available. [19:33] Distributor ID: Trisquel [19:33] Description: Trisquel GNU/Linux 6.0.1, Toutatis [19:33] Release: 6.0.1 [19:33] Codename: toutatis [19:33] c_t_f: in general: there is no way back. one could change all the packages back to ubuntu ones but there is still the changed stuff outside of the packagesystem. [19:35] Will I still be able to run Ubuntu compatible programs or will I need to compile everything from here on out? [19:35] Or, will I still be able to install software with *.deb files? [19:36] well, that depends on the .deb files. better ask the trisquel guys if you encounter issues [19:36] did you meddle with apt's sources? [19:36] I don't think so [19:37] I've been trying to install various programs recently, maybe something happened while I was doing that [19:37] you made your system convert to trisquel. [19:38] maybe you will need to disable ppa's you used and the update/upgrade to fix [19:38] Well that's... Interesting! [19:38] jatt: there is no way back. [19:38] fascinating... [19:38] can someone look at my make problem [19:38] https://ghostbin.com/paste/qkwty [19:39] jatt: those converters (like the mint ones, or the kali linux ones) change a lot of things. you cant be sure to get to a original ubuntu state afterwards [19:39] Well thank you guys, I guess I'm a Trisquel user now. X-) [19:39] That's so crazy [19:40] At least my DE's still the same [19:40] to mix repositories is bad [19:40] :-) [19:40] In the future how do I prevent that? [19:41] don't mix repositories 😸 [19:41] c_t_f: dont run those scripts, .deb or PPAs that change your system to another OS [19:42] I never knew I did that though, I don't recall installing any packages that changed my OS [19:42] I certainly wasn't prompted about that [19:43] Thanks though [19:44] c_t_f: well, you ran trisquelize.sh and didnt know what that does? [19:47] sup guys, question, ive just installed utorrent on ubuntu and im having a problem with downloading torrents it doesnt give me the optioon to download it through utorrent only something called transmission, any ideas?

[19:50] sonic navigate to ... /usr/share/applications/ [19:53] MonkeyDust i just got into that file what do i choose now?

[22:52] wakemeup: it's a command [22:53] are there specific arguments I should run it with? [22:53] ~$ ip Usage: ip [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help } ip [ -force ] -batch filename where OBJECT := { link | address | addrlabel | route | rule | neighbor | ntable | tunnel | tuntap | maddress | mroute | mrule | monitor | xfrm | netns | l2tp | fou | tcp_metrics | token | netconf } OPTIONS := { -V[ersion] | -s[tatistics] | -d[etails] | -r[esolve] | -h[uman-readab [22:53] It just gives me usage [22:53] derfoh, installing everything from start is easiest option if that happens [22:53] reisio: 'ip a' maybe? Not sure what you're looking for [22:54] exit [22:54] tgm4883: mmm, but it's wakemeup I'd like to find something, not you :) [22:54] anyone have good rasberry pi alternatives that have wifi baked in it [22:54] wakemeup if you enabled ufw, maybe you need to set some rules > sudo ufw allow 6/udp or 7/udp [22:54] reisio: well ok, but he's right. 'ip' by itself doesn't give anything [22:55] cool, thanks. [22:55] ritztech: look up debian freedombox targetted hardware [22:55] tgm4883: actually he said it did give something [22:55] tgm4883: but if you'd like to talk to him, you have my permission [22:55] I [22:55] * tgm4883 fades back into the background [22:55] *I'm not sure what to look for in the usage [22:55] sorta strudy i wanna buy like 100 of them and build then as like a test probe setup so testing wifi/internet continually and provide data to ethernet and do many tests so more of a good setup i have to somehow build [22:55] oh cool [22:56] wakemeup: ip addr show [22:57] $ ip addr show 1: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp0s31f6: mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ [22:59] reisio: The link I was reading earlier, said that ethtool should display d and g next to Wake=on [22:59] *wake-on [22:59] https://www.loverpi.com/blogs/news/94801153-raspberry-pi-3-banana-pi-m3-orange-pi-plus-2-odroid-c2-spec-comparison [22:59] wakemeup: uhuh, and what's it display? [23:00] I ran the two ufw commands, but I still only get g [23:00] ritztech: https://wiki.debian.org/CheapServerBoxHardware?action=show&redirect=FreedomBox%2FTargetedHardware [23:00] ohh hehe nice [23:00] wakemeup: g is what you want f you want wol [23:00] if* [23:01] Oh, I thought I needed d as well [23:01] wish they'd stop seizuring all over their wiki [23:01] reisio: Thanks~ [23:01] d is for disabled [23:02] *That was a reading comprehension fail on my part... [23:02] g is for... good? :p [23:02] wakemeup: the vital part with WOL, if anything, is that it says 'g' every time your computer is running (that is: following a reboot, following a sleep & wake, etc.) [23:02] if it says d instead, you have to script it to re-set back to g [23:02] otherwise you lose the ability to wake [23:03] because: "reasons" [23:03] hey guys [23:03] i need some help [23:03] reisio: ah, that makes sense [23:03] -mips32r2: command not found [23:03] is there something I need to do to get g to persist? [23:03] what packages i need? [23:05] wakemeup: you using ethtool to check? You can use ethtool to set it as well [23:05] wakemeup: and pm-utils is probably the best thing to use to constantly check/set, but you can do it a number of ways [23:06] it may be that your device is always set to g, and that'd make it simple: you'd have no extra steps at all [23:07] reisio: Thanks for all the info! [23:07] np [23:08] so if you wake your system, and find it's not set to 'g' (or if you wake your system, then sleep it, then try but fail to wake it again) [23:08] that'd indicate your device not staying set at g [23:08] otherwise you have nothing to address [23:10] I am trying to install ubuntu 16.04.1 on my laptop but I can't use the windows UNetbootin application (for some reason if doesn't work) Can someone give me the steps to set this up from a differeny ubuntu computer (just to make the bootable usb) [23:12] csplugins: 'dd' is the simplest way, you just have to be careful using it [23:12] insert your usb stick, find it with lsblk -f, be sure the /dev/foo is the usb device you think it is [23:12] Yes, that is what I used last time, I just can't remeber the exact commands I ra [23:13] then: dd if=path/to/install/image of=/dev/foo [23:13] the value of of, in particular, needs to be accurate, as it's what will be overwritten [23:13] Okay, hold on. I need to finish installing ubuntu on my other machine real quick to run dd [23:13] of 'of' :p [23:14] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-ubuntu [23:14] ronaldsmazitis, too easy. gotta command line it [23:17] reisio: I could wake my system from shutdown and sleep! [23:17] Thanks a lot! [23:18] reisio: Also, the g is persisting after reboot :) [23:21] wakemeup2: probably nothing more to do, then [23:21] congratulations on having non-silly hardware :) [23:21] Okay, should I run the startup disk application or use dd? [23:23] csplugins: ...to image the install media to a usb stick? [23:23] again, dd is the simplest, you just don't want to do it wrong [23:23] yes [23:23] ok. [23:24] okay, so my device is sdb. [23:24] dd if=/home/user/Desktop/image.iso sbd [23:25] Is that correct? [23:25] dd if=/home/user/Desktop/image.iso of=/dev/sdb [23:25] be quite certain about the /dev/sdb part [23:26] failed yo open /dev/sdb perm denied [23:26] sudo it? [23:26] sudo !! ;) [23:27] and i don't need to worry about the byte transfer rate? (If I recall bs=xxxx) [23:27] csplugins: no, but you can up it if you want [23:27] Does it default to 4096? [23:28] no [23:28] probablay defaults to one byte at a time :p [23:28] probably* [23:28] you can also try appending ' status=progress', some newer versions of dd support that, for more useful (read: more than no) output [23:28] Okay. As long as it works haha. Also there is nothing informing me of progress, is this normal for dd? [23:29] yes, see previous msg [23:29] if you run: while true; do kill -USR1 $(pgrep -x dd); sleep 10s; done from another term, and look at the _original_ term, you'll get some status updates [23:29] Oh lol, I didn't see that. Thanks [23:31] Okay, that's done. How can I verify it? === RalphBa is now known as RalphBa|smoking [23:31] dd'd my usb at least four times with 4M blocks thinking the command didn't work. it just transfered at 1GBps [23:33] mmeth: heh [23:34] csplugins: echo "$?", if it's 0 then it was successful as far as dd is concerned [23:34] csplugins: the rest is up to your hardware/firmware [23:34] put another way: if dd was upset, it'd say so [23:35] okay, it's zero, let me give it a try [23:36] I just have a blinking cursor on boot up now [23:37] as opposed to what? === RalphBa|smoking is now known as RalphBa [23:41] well from unetbootin, it would skip the usb and stat from what already on the hdd [23:43] sorry, i disconneted. [23:43] I had that blinky blinky problem yesterday. But I was creating bootable from windows [23:44] 2/3 images turned out corrupted and just got stuck with blinking cursor [23:45] Is there a workaround to this? I know I had this same iso installed at one point [23:46] I was on windows, using Linux Live (LiLi) the first one worked then multiple corrupted in a row. I tried to use another tool which formatted the drive differently and it worked on first try [23:47] win32diskimager was the software that had the right settings [23:47] csplugins: you can try before your dd to wipe the device's beginning, but it really shouldn't matter [23:47] csplugins: sgdisk -Z /dev/foo; sgdis -Z /dev/foo; dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/foo bs=1M count=100; dd if=...
