[00:19] YankDownUnder: yerp, both enabled, i may doublecheck, but, I figure if they're showing up in network manager, it's probably not a BIOS issue [00:20] they have MAC addys after all [00:21] ivan, oh, you KNEW the source of your issue :-D [00:21] LoLZ [00:28] hi guys and gals!

Almost made my own - for use with the ol' Raspberry Pi. [01:45] never used it myself. [01:45] I seen it looks like it's a bit of biatch to get rid of, given a forum I was just looking at. So not going to test it out on the laptop [01:47] I have a question about diff <--- anyone? is it appropriate for the channel? [01:49] I finally got my bluetooth speaker working after rebooting my pc, then it randomly stopped working. Now it says the device is disabled [01:49] what's diff? [01:50] electron_waster: just ask [01:50] dont asking to ask... Im using diff to check that written files to an USB stick are fine: I had found that by issuing the diff wont IO! its using a buffer or cache - if I umount the drive diff will IO on the stick. Is there a way to force the IO without umounting? [01:50] danny_ what usb program you using? [01:51] electron_waster: use md5sum to verify files [01:51] danny_ whoops, i mean bluetooth [01:51] Ben64, MD5 would be too expensive for this [01:51] Goldschlager, I guess blueman? whatever is default on ubuntu mate [01:51] electron_waster: that doesn't make any sense [01:52] Goldschlager, most of the menus just refer to it as bluetooth [01:52] I've had luck with bluetooth manager, you can find it in the ubuntu software [01:52] Goldschlager, There is a good chance I'm using that one, how do I check? [01:53] Ben64, what does not make sense? I have files lying is a FS copied to another and just wan to to check if theyre the same - but I want diff to really read the files [01:53] There'll be a 2nd bluetooth icon on top right [01:53] Goldschlager, Also, the most common and annoying issue is that it says "Failed to change profile to a2dp_sink" [01:54] electron_waster: then use md5sum, if you want the files read, that'll do it [01:54] theres no additional cost [01:54] danny_ That one is outta my league. Not sure what a2dp_sink is. [01:54] Goldschlager, All I know is that it is the audio profile that doesn't sound like garbage, its the higher fidelity of the two options [01:54] but, I started using that bluetooth manager app and it made my bluetooth stuff work better [01:56] danny_ It's worth a shot. [01:56] if nothing else, click the remove button if it still doesn't work [01:56] Goldschlager, I'm trying to find bluetooth manager right now [01:56] Ben64, ill have to compare the checksum :) - btw: I know diff is not doing IO cuz stick led wont blink as it does afeter umount + diff [01:58] Goldschlager, I could not find a package called anything like bluetooth manager === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [02:01] danny_ are you using the ubuntu software program?

[02:35] Bashing-om: how do I use nvidia-settings? [02:36] ksft: We do not even know what graphics you have .. pastebin - lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D' - for better advise.

IF this is hybrid - which has yet to be known to me - then you should have "nvidia-settings ' in the GUI . [02:39] Bashing-om: I also have an integrated Intel graphics card.

[02:41] running good so far, [02:41] any difference between the 2? [02:43] dont see one so far, then again im just learning emacs [02:44] ksft: My mistake, it is nvidia-prime we want . Is it installed ' dpkg -l nvidia-prime ' ? [02:46] ksft: ^^ and for gamming on 16.04 I understand one wants the 364 version driver or better for Nvidia .

[02:55] Bashing-om: not so much, but I would like to get more than 10 fps in this one game [02:55] Bashing-om: why? [02:56] ksft: Well .. the driver that Nvidia recommens is available to you in a PPA . However, what we have in the repo may do just fine for your use case .

I've several HDD in my rig and I can't tell which is which. THey are all named /dev/sdb1 ntfs or simialr. [03:31] ksft: K, but that debian repo may be the source of the Hash Sum mismatch error condition . [03:32] Pikia: if you do lsblk in linux terminal you should be able to tell the difference [03:34] Thank you b-yeezi. One more question. I frist instailled windows 7 and shrunk one of the HDD. I never allocated the memory. Will that cause Linix to not be able to "see" it? [03:34] I'm asking as I can't find it using lsblk [03:36] you can'tnfind the linux partition or the windows one? [03:37] Ah huh. I found it! I think... And I think I worded my question incorrectly. [03:37] I shurnk the HDD in Windows, but never allocated it in Windows. [03:37] I was wondering if that would affect wheater or not [03:37] Linux would "see" it. [03:38] Pikia: Might be real good at this time to show the channel what you are working with ' sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 ' and pass the resulting link back here . [03:38] If you never allocated the space, then you won't see it in lsblk [03:38] gparted should show you unallocated space. or parted on the commandline, like Bashing-om said [03:38] http://termbin.com/3cx3 [03:39] Hm. I never knew you could use pipe with "links" [03:41] b-yeezi: Ya want to be that bearer of bad news ? [03:41] ahahaa, where did I screw up on :P [03:42] Everything is in ntfs format. Looks like Linux is gone [03:43] Should it not be in ntfs? [03:43] Pikia: Well .. that can not be said. What can presently be said is that there is no ext4 ( linux) partition(s) . [03:43] I never dual-boot. I only run windows in a VM, almost never [03:43] Oh, I hven't installed linix yet. I'm trying to find the partition I want it on [03:44] But for my wife, Windows is installed first, then install Ubuntu [03:44] That way Windows won't wipe out your install [03:45] Oh then no problem [03:45] I set up a new Partition on the Samsung SSD. [03:45] I may have found it but I want to be sure. [03:45] Its listed as Free Space in the installation screen [03:45] GParted should be able to reformat a partition durinf the install [03:46] Or you can reformat from the Live Disk [03:47] Mhmm Okay. [03:47] Thank you! [03:47] Pikia: Ya gonna have problems here - think this through . as the drive is msdos .. BUT Windows isa booting UEFI . The 2 are not compatible . [03:48] I'm sorry I don't follow [03:48] I understood maybe half of your sentence [03:49] The Partition Table: msdos line [03:50] This is why I don't dual-boot. Anyway, you have to create a new partition table [03:50] right Bashing-om? To gpt? [03:50] I alredy did that in Windows, but its not showing in the termbin. [03:50] ok [03:51] However, it does show on the installtion page as "Free Space" [03:51] Pikia: Understandable . Look Windows on the 1st hard drive " Partition Table: gpt >> EFI system partition boot, esp . right . And now you want to install ubuntu onto the 2nd drive (Disk /dev/sdb: 120GB) .. It is on the legacy (msdos) partitioning .. and efi will not cope with it . if this is your entent, gonna have to learb to jump throght hoops to reset in the formware each time ya want to boot a desired system . Can be a real pain . [03:53] Does anyone know if there's a way to play BluRays with menus in Ubuntu ? [03:53] I want to see if there are chapter names in the scene selection [03:53] Nothing I've tried so far has given me access to the menus, just the bluray itself [03:53] set it to gpt and you should be fine Pikia [03:54] Bashing-om: Mhmm I see. That makes a bit more sense. Is this becasue windows uses differnt ways of reading data from Linix? [03:54] ReddyTeddy: Did you try VLC? or Xine? [03:55] Tried VLC, it can play the BluRay fine, but won't let me see the menu === OERIAS2 is now known as Aerius [03:56] I think you can change the view in VLC to show chapters [03:57] Pikia: NO, Windows here is not the factor . it is the RFI booting specification . The way the firmware hands off to the boot code . It is a different process between EFI and MBR ( legacy ) . Whole with effort one can do this - if willing to reset the formware each time you switch operating systems . EFI and MBR are not compatible and can not chainload the respective bootloaders . [03:58] Hm, can't seem to find that [03:58] RFI/EFI* [03:59] !efi | Pikia [03:59] Pikia: 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 [04:00] ReddyTeddy: I'm on my raspberry pi right now so I can't confirm.

[04:15] that's how I started my IRC client [04:15] I had to boot a few times [04:15] ctrl-alt-F1 didn't work the first couple times [04:16] Bashing-om: https://termbin.com/m822 [04:18] ksft: Try again as I get " Your connection is not private " on that link . [04:18] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/m822 [04:18] types the URL wrong [04:18] ksft, same here [04:19] can't copy/paste in this thing [04:19] typed* [04:21] ksft: Where and how did you get " ii nvidia-370 " ? [04:21] Bashing-om: I have no idea. [04:22] Bashing-om: I ran the commands you gave me. [04:23] hello [04:24] ksft: Ya must have our trusted PPA enabled for the source . System likes 370 .. we go with it . Lemme think a bit . [04:25] Say, any tips to clean files on / ? [04:25] I have low disk space [04:26] ksft: Let's see what X thinks ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . [04:28] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/iq65 [04:29] ksft: Reading . I will be a while . [04:29] okay [04:46] hello. [04:47] I'm upgrading to a larger hard drive.. What's the best way to move ubuntu to it? [04:50] the best way huh... [04:51] easiest way? [04:52] ksft: I see no fault . anything relavent ' /etc/X11/xorg.conf | nc termbin.com 9999 ' ? [04:53] clonezilla? [04:54] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/ca3p [04:54] I don't know if any of that is relevant [05:02] hello? [05:02] kurowa [05:02] ksft: All proper there also . next log ' /var/log/gpu-manager.log | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . [05:03] I’m trying to upgrade a (very) old vm from 10.04 and am getting “WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.” for lzma. I’m not exactly sure how to go about finishing the upgrade [05:03] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/qgio [05:03] er, that's wrong [05:03] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/qgiu [05:05] So, I lack disk space. It is safe to move usr folder to another partition? [05:08] ksft: No fault there either ! .. What erorrs do you get starting the GUI from terminal ' sudo service lightdm start ' ? [05:09] Bashing-om: it says it's already running [05:09] hello to all [05:09] i have created bootable pen drive ubuntu 16 and it does not show up in boot menu [05:11] ksft: Hummm .. and you loged in from ctl+alt+F1 console ? .. anyway .. is the GUI running key combo ctl+alt+F7 to switch to the graphical interface . [05:11] I did [05:11] it doesn't look like it [05:11] ctrl-alt-F7 shows a black screen [05:12] Bashing-om: ^ [05:13] ksft: Stranger alla the time .. ok .. what results ' sudo service lightdm restart ' ? [05:15] Bashing-om: it makes the screen go black and then ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't work [05:15] I just had to reboot === massive_minnow is now known as MassiveMinnow [05:17] ksft: Yeah .. seen the connection here drop . Look, I am at a loss here . we can look at the .xsession-errors file in your home directory .., see if there are any hints there . [05:18] Bashing-om: okay [05:18] Bashing-om: one line [05:18] doesn't look like an error [05:18] "Script for uim started at run_im." [05:21] ksft: I am out of ideas . I do not know where to go from here . A cuda thing ? A compiz thing ? I just do not know where or what else to check . All the log files say it is working . [05:22] Bashing-om: I had trouble with cuda before [05:22] I tried to install it, but I couldn't get it to work. [05:22] I think I ran into a problem like this when I tried to install it. [05:23] Bashing-om: would `sudo apt-get purge libcuda*` be a bad idea? [05:26] bootable ubuntu pen drive wont boot in uefi mode [05:27] ksft: Removing cuda is a bit involved . hang on a bit .. let me ' look ' . === llorephie1 is now known as llorephie [05:31] ksft: Prep for removal . what returns ' ls -al ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK /opt/cuda ' ? [05:32] Bashing-om: neither directory exists [05:34] ksft: Well, that is not expected . next in ~/.bash_profile file do these paths " PATH=$PATH:/opt/cuda/bin and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/cuda/lib:/opt/cuda/lib64 " exist ? [05:34] ~/.bash_profile does not exist [05:35] Bashing-om: ~ [05:35] ^* [05:36] I managed to get the dual boot working, but it seems as if the intel drivers will not detect my secondary monitor [05:38] ksft: K. run ' sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit ; rm -r ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK ; sudo rm -r /opt/cuda ' . [05:38] again, neither of those directories exists [05:38] ksft: That was just cheap insurance to make sure they were gone . [05:39] okay, it's running [05:39] Bashing-om: what does --auto-remove do? [05:40] ksft: remove any orphaned files . [05:40] Bashing-om: it finished [05:40] Bashing-om: should I try to restart lightdm again? [05:41] should I reboot first? [05:42] ksft: Well .,. now let's try ' sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-370 ' . Reboot and let's see what we now have . [05:43] hi all. is there any voice changer realtime for ubuntu? [05:44] managed to install Ubuntu. However, there is a huge black bar running across the bottom of the screen. Its as if that part of the screen doesn't exist [05:44] maybe change resolution? [05:44] just press windows-key [05:44] and type in: resolution [05:44] No, its set to 1080p, which is the correct resoultion, but it's not utilizing the full screen [05:44] it should come up with screen config [05:45] what graphics card do u have? [05:45] is there such cli command to force optical's led to blink? [05:45] Bashing-om: reinstalled [05:45] 7970HD [05:45] ati card? [05:45] amd [05:45] err 280x right now. Yeah AMD. [05:45] hm, they dropped uspport for the unofficial drivers in ubuntu xenial [05:45] i dont know did u try rebooting? [05:46] Yes, multiple times [05:46] try setting to a different resolution [05:46] That did it. [05:46] I switched to a lower res then back and it seemed to fix it [05:46] Thank you! [05:47] np ;DF [05:47] You wouldn't happen to know how to get INtel GPU drivers for ubuntu 16.04 do you? I can't seem to find anyhting about it [05:47] Or I'm just looking in the wrong place [05:47] Pikia: umm === EriC^^ is now known as Guest74008 [05:47] press windows key [05:47] intel is supported standard in the kernel. [05:48] then search for, drivers [05:48] all non-free drivers will be listed there [05:48] in some tab [05:48] OerHeks: Yeah, thats what I thought. However, ubuntu isn't picking up my second monitor, which is attached to the iGPU :( [05:48] i could install some properiety drivers [05:48] Pikia: are u sure ur second card is not disabled, if u use the first one? [05:49] intel is onboard probably [05:49] I'm sorry, I don't udnerstand what your are saying. [05:49] Yes Intel is onbaord [05:49] its the GPU in the CPU [05:49] how to set env variable on desktop file [unity]? i tried to change GTK_THEME, but not working [05:49] are you sure ur ati card doesnt deactivate the intel card [05:49] Bashing-om: should I restart lightdm or reboot now? [05:49] Pikia, if it is a laptop, check the FN key to switch internal/external/both screens. [05:49] freakyy: Yeah, if I boot into my windows os, all monitors work fine [05:49] OerHeks: Its a desktop [05:50] ksft: I had in mind to re-boot . [05:50] Pikia: hmm, is your moniator listed when u go to the desktop settings? [05:50] Yes [05:50] i mean screen settings [05:50] Bashing-om: okay [05:50] but it doesnt work? [05:50] rebooting.. [05:50] ...* [05:50] theme changed when i type 'env GTK_THEME=Theme apps' in terminal [05:50] No, its just a black screen, freakyy [05:50] Pikia: Using two different GPUs for the same X session is not possible [05:50] hmm, i cant help u there. u could try resetting the screen resolution of that second monitor too [05:51] hateball: what do you mean "same x session"? [05:51] hateball, how would one switch between open radeon driver and intel? [05:51] hello? [05:51] Pikia: the... thing that shows you a GUI [05:51] Pikia: x is the graphics server [05:51] and to that server a gui connects it hink [05:51] Ahh [05:51] OerHeks: blacklist radeon driver [05:51] andf u work with taht gui graphical user interfaace [05:52] It is however possible to spawn a new Xsession using the intel gpu [05:52] but then you have the headache of not being able to move windows and panels and so on [05:52] Bashing-om: well, it still isn't working [05:52] hateball: I am fine with that. Could you point me in the direction of doing that [05:53] Does that mean I will lose access to my Radeon GPU's though? [05:53] Pikia: if its a desktop, doesnt the ati gpu have more than one connectors? [05:53] because my nviida card even has 4 hdmi connectors [05:53] :D [05:53] I'm currentlly using three moniors atm.. :P [05:53] ort slots [05:54] The third one is the one thats connected to the intel GPU [05:54] ksft: Well, as said I am out of ideas , I am open to any suggestion . Maybe try the suggested 367 version driver rather than 370 ? [05:54] Pikia: let me see if I can find something comprehensible. gotta go afk for a bit tho [05:54] oh, the opendrivers work with 2 monitors max , iirc [05:54] Its fine. Its late for me too. I'll be one around next week to persue this issue furterh. [05:54] I'm going on vacation so :p [05:54] Thanks for all the help guys [05:55] I really appreciate it [05:55] np [05:55] Bashing-om: so just `sudo apt-get purge nvidia-370; sudo apt-get install nvidia-367` and then reboot? [05:55] ngiht mates [05:56] so does anyone know if theres a realtime voice changer for ubuntu? [05:56] like so i can use it for discord? [05:57] ksft: Yeah, wont hurt to try .. but be aware we have seen no problems reported for 370 by the system . do not hold your breath for 367 . [06:00] can I request help? [06:00] of course [06:01] Bashing-om: trying it... [06:02] So, I dual booted with windows 10. my ubuntu root partition is almost full though. The cleaning doesn't give any meaningful space and the software I installed in my ubuntu is necessary for my work right now, so I cannot uninstall. [06:03] boot win 10, shrink partition in disks, then boot linux and expand. you may have to boot gparted or similar usb to resize linux partition. [06:03] I want to extend the size of root partition, but doesn't really have access to flash drive or CD drives. [06:04] sho__: Did you try ; ' sudo apt-get autoremove ' ? to free up space . [06:04] rebooting... [06:04] Bashing-om: yes. [06:04] sho__, to resize, you need a live iso. [06:04] my suggestion seems complex but I just had your problem today, it's an easy fix if you want to fix it right [06:04] sho__: What does ' df -h ; df -i [06:05] let me restart my pc first. [06:05] I'm still at windows. [06:05] sho__: show for disk space usage ? [06:05] ok guys im leaving this channel now... teach me something before I go? [06:05] still not working [06:05] tech stuff, amaze me [06:06] hi all. i have a problem with ubuntu gnome and sound volume. its somehow all so quiet i cant turn the music loud. i mean i could put it over 100% but not without distortion. there must be something wrong. how can i fix it? [06:06] pulse audio [06:06] Bashing-om: slight correction: ctrl-alt-F1 freezes whatever's on the screen [06:06] it doesn't make it go black [06:06] not sure if that matters [06:06] ksft: Beats me .. others here with ideas ? [06:06] ctrl-alt-F7* [06:06] Check alsamixer freakyy [06:07] nothing ? no tech in the news? :( [06:07] Vorap, his problem is: there is no problem :-D [06:08] Ah...? [06:10] if sound works, not distorted, i see no issue [06:10] Vorap: no alsamixer doesnt help everythings at max [06:10] Hmm :/ [06:10] OerHeks: well, i have it on 100% and its still quiet [06:11] is there any app specific sound volume [06:11] ahi found it [06:11] thanks :D [06:11] hello [06:12] so... continuing from before. [06:13] freakyy: oh awesome! [06:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23066483/ [06:13] so this is my df -h result. [06:13] the sound output was 100% but the one from my headset wasnt up [06:14] Ah [06:14] and the setting is a bit hidden [06:14] Gotcha [06:14] i first had to click hw mixer and then specific 7.1 audio :) [06:15] so can I request help? [06:15] sho1: just ask ur question === sho1 is now known as sho__ [06:16] well... so, as I have stated before. I am running low on ubuntu root partition and would like to extend it. Unfortunately making liveCD is not an option right now. [06:17] sho__: try live usb? [06:17] u cant resize partition without unmounting [06:17] sho1: " 42G 38G 2,3G 95% / " so what is installed for kernels ' dpkg -l | grep linux- ' ? [06:17] not even if I dual booted and do something in windows? [06:18] hmm, if u find a program that can resize partitions for windows ... maybe that works [06:18] check that it supports the fs u use on ur linux partition [06:19] bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23066497/ [06:19] to be honest, windows disk management can do that. [06:20] sho__: So much for that thought ,, not a kernel space usage issue . [06:21] yeah... those at stackexchange suggested removing old kernels too. [06:21] sudo apt autoremove [06:22] I have, and only freed 24.2 MB worth? [06:22] old ones should be "not needed" anymore and should be autoremoveable [06:22] i dont nkow [06:22] if u need more ... do the resizing ;D [06:23] yeah. that is what I intend to do. is there any way to do that, with that restriction I've mentioned? [06:23] what restriction? [06:24] don't have CD drive and accessible flash drive. [06:24] sho__: you need to boot a live image to resize the root fs. [06:24] sho__: you could shrink the windows partition, create a new ext4 partition in that space, and move some of your data over into it [06:24] ah yea ... if u boot into windows ... that doesnt work cuz then that partition is mounted and cant be resized [06:25] be sure to create a backup any time you're messing with partitions, just in case [06:25] he cant he cant even make live dvd ;D [06:25] alternatively, use tools like Baobab to see why you've got 38 gigs used -- maybe you'll find something you can remove [06:26] mgedmin, not an option right now? [06:26] waht is? [06:26] say, can I run that gparted with emulator? [06:27] like VMware? [06:28] sho__: well u use gparted, resize the windows partition then boot into windows and from there increase the linux partition? i dont know [06:29] i dont konw if that work sthough [06:29] freakyy... using gparted means that I had to make liveCD/bootable USB. [06:30] so can anyone help me? [06:30] when I try to boot, the screen goes black [06:30] sho__: no. arent u already on linux? [06:30] yes. I am. [06:31] !nomodeset [06:31] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:31] say u have sda1 (linux) sda2 (win) then u stay in linux use gparted to resize sda2 and move the beginning of it more to the end and free space AFTER sda1 [06:31] ksft, tried that? ^^ [06:31] But GParted need the linux partition to be unmounted? [06:32] then u boot into windows and use that freed empty space and join it with ur linux partition [06:32] OerHeks: I haven't [06:32] OerHeks: slightly difficult to see that forum thread without a GUI [06:32] Last time I tried using WINE to play on a MTA server (for GTA SA). They kicked me as they have set up some OS detection system. It detects that I am using Linux (through WINE) and doesn't allow me. Is there any way to bypass it? Like for example, change the variable where OS Name is stored, from Linux to Windows on WINE or somewhere else in a configuration file? [06:34] sho__: no gparted needs that partition to be unmounted which u wanna shrink [06:34] ksft, hold shift @ boot, press 'e' to edit the boot line , GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash " and add nomodeset >> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" and try to boot [06:34] and that would be the windows partition [06:34] eh... [06:34] bhavesh: winecfg will allow you to set a default "os type" [06:34] for the programme [06:34] OerHeks: what does holding shift do? [06:35] Blue1: okay, I'll try finding it. Thanks [06:35] the problem is to extend? I already have the space to extend it. [06:35] and empty drive. [06:35] an* [06:35] ksft, without shift, you might boot straight into linux [06:35] team need help... have mounted root(/) on /dev/sdc1 and /home on /dev/sdd1. Can any assist me as to how I can swap them ? [06:35] OerHeks: I see grub each time I boot [06:35] I'll try that [06:35] sho__: oh ... is it external? [06:36] no. [06:36] bhavesh: try entering winecfg on the command line -- you can set the default os needed for the programme. I have one programme I use that needs win nt to find the dvd drive -- okay -- so I set it to nt and if found the dvd drive. [06:36] u cant extend partitions over several hdds [06:36] so the only thign u could u [06:36] do [06:36] ok well [06:36] to swap huh. clone it? [06:36] Blue1: okay [06:37] umm, u dont have a live cd [06:37] else u could have put a bootable linux on there [06:37] and resize partitions [06:37] etc. [06:37] sorry, I try to answer antwood's question. [06:37] but yeda [06:37] I have found that wine works pretty well in about 90% of what I want to run -- I wish it had better usb support, but hey it works. [06:38] OerHeks: sorta working now! [06:38] :-) [06:38] OerHeks: when I try to login, the screen flashes, and it asks me to log in again [06:38] Blue1: cool. [06:38] I've gotten to this point when I've had similar problems in the past, but I have no idea what I did to fix it [06:38] ello! not sure if this is the right irc for my thing [06:39] freakyy: right now I just need to extend root partition. [06:39] yea sho__ need to move swap the mounts to allocate right disk space [06:39] u cant extend over several drives [06:39] do mount and paste it [06:39] Eth3r, go ahead and ask and we'll tell you :p [06:41] im trying to install ubuntu on a home brewd pc and getting the error "{ 4.836452} nouveau 0000:03:00.0: gr: failed to load fecs_inst" [06:41] Eth3r: What GPU is this? [06:42] sho__: well ... u cant increase the partition over other drives u could just mount that drive into some directory and move data into it [06:42] Eth3r: a 9xx or 10xx series ? [06:42] OerHeks: any idea what I can do? [06:42] let me get u exact model hateball [06:42] freakyy: in other word, move root and its content? [06:43] no u cant do that [06:43] i7-4930k [06:43] u could use dd and make an exact copy then resize partitions and only use the new drive [06:43] but ive never donet aht [06:44] sho__: is /home on the root partition, is that what takes up so much space? [06:46] I think? [06:47] Eth3r: That would be your CPU [06:47] Eth3r, that's the CPU, not GPU (graphics card). [06:47] oh sry its 970 gtx [06:47] sho__: if it is, you can create a new /home on the other partition, copy your data across, boot into recovery mode, delete the old /home and mount the new. [06:47] did you just assemble it and it's not working, or did it have some other working OS before? [06:48] !pm | Eth3r [06:48] Eth3r: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. [06:49] noted, so u think its the gpu? [06:49] Eth3r: You're trying to install 16.04? You likely need to boot using nomodeset and then install the proprietary drivers === Guest74008 is now known as EriC^^ [06:49] !nomodeset | Eth3r [06:49] Eth3r: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [06:49] yes [06:49] TYVM! [06:50] ducasse: so I reinstall ubuntu. Before I install ubuntu, I made sure of making /home and /root on different partition. But maybe that isn't the case? [06:50] Eth3r: So, use nomodeset to get a GUI so you can install. Then once it is installed and you reboot you need nomodeset again until you have proper drivers installed [06:50] Sorry, it is reinstalled. [06:50] Eth3r: And to get the latest drivers from a !ppa you can run this oneliner in a terminal on your installed ubuntu: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-370 [06:50] now im installing it from usb should be ok? didnt finish reading yet [06:51] When I run rsync -vr fromDirectory toDirectory, to backup files to an external drive, it takes too long to check the deltas for the whole file list, and my drive gets disconnected. Every time I run it again, it doesn't get to send new files because checking for changes takes so long and always starts from the same place. Any ideas on how to continue transfering files, but faster or avoiding the initial [06:51] long checks? [06:51] sho__: 38g used on the root partition indicates to me that there is _something_ there that takes up a lot of space. maybe /home or vm images. [06:51] i am loveing linux i can update my driver from cli!? that is sweet! [06:53] yeah. and the other partition is empty, so I think I messed up somewhere in the process of reinstalling. [06:53] not sure if sho__ has more or less the same request as that of mine. I basically have a remote server and / and /home needs to swapped. Like the partiottions and now swap memory :) [06:54] without losing data though [06:54] anyone notice that spotchat.org has been down for a couple of days.

[06:59] Sorry :$ [07:00] ooops sorry [07:00] well not sure, systeam seems weird... i think there is a bunch of missing drivers.. [07:00] is there a way to know what drivers i need? [07:00] Bitkid_: Seems weird is not a good description. What is not working as intended? [07:01] graphics seem off, usb not working [07:01] Bitkid_: If there are proprietary drivers your system needs you can run "ubuntu-drivers devices" in a terminal and it will inform you [07:01] ok let me try that [07:02] can i past the output here? [07:02] !paste | Bitkid_ [07:02] Bitkid_: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [07:03] Bitkid_: What do you mean by "usb not working"? Are the ports not detecting devices? [07:04] ok http://paste.ubuntu.com/23066573/ [07:04] ya, so im thinking maby something with the driver [07:04] Bitkid_: to fix your GPU, run this in a terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-370 [07:05] and once it is all done, reboot to have it use the new driver [07:05] sweet! ok [07:05] Bitkid_: the intel microcode: sudo apt install intel-microcode [07:05] so this is a new systeam, when i boot of usb i go thr an error then finaly loads the trial. i installed it before but it just gose to this thing ... grub i think [07:06] Bitkid_: Is the system installed or are you on a live-usb? [07:06] live usb / trial option [07:07] Bitkid_: Right. Then you cant install any drivers [07:07] when i try oem install or install stuck on gr: error [07:07] Bitkid_: try booting with nomodeset first [07:07] !nomodeset | Bitkid_ [07:07] Bitkid_: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [07:07] do i have to add it to the usb? [07:07] oh sweet ok let me read link [07:09] Bitkid_: it's a kernel option that should let you boot and install. then you boot with nomodeset again on your install, and install the proper drivers with the oneliner I gave you [07:09] could someone out there with 16.04 please test if sharing a folder with the Local Network Share dialog works for them? [07:10] http://imgur.com/gb7Gom9 [07:10] Hello [07:10] ty hateball but since im on the trial verson on the irc when i boot ill lose it. when i reboot and install ill come bac to the irce [07:11] tyvm hatball and ubottu [07:11] Bitkid_: yes, no worries [07:11] Ubuntu 16.04, x64. valgrind /usr/bin/openssl; Does this break for you too? [07:12] Drunken_Irishman, please don't spam on freenode, kiddie [07:12] Sorry fucktard [07:12] but you are not my mother [07:12] Drunken_Irishman: Please mind the language. And yes, please don't spam. Thanks. [07:12] Starting the work day with downloading latest Ubuntu for fixing a thing [07:13] Flannel: oh, you aren't my mother either [07:13] * doodom greets everybody [07:13] and HOW THE FUCK IS PASTING ONE GODDAMNED LINE, SPAMMING???!!!???!!! [07:13] Drunken_Irishman, someone named opal was talking some mad shit about you....ask him in #krustykrab [07:13] Drunken_Irishman: While true, you still should pay attention. [07:13] hi [07:13] HUH? [07:13] WHO DA FUQ IS OPAL [07:14] how good is Ubuntu Tablet for ROR web programming? [07:15] abhinav, what is ror ? [07:15] Ruby On Rails. [07:15] so... [07:16] OerHeks: in genral, is it capable enough for a web app programming? [07:17] say, there is an unused partition as a remain from ubuntu reinstallation. I want to assign it as /home partition (as it is originally intended). how do I do that? [07:18] abhinav, sure, any machine will do. [07:19] sho__: i told you earlier, copy data, boot in recovery mode, delete old home, mount new [07:19] ok [07:20] ducasse: no need to go to disks, edit partition, and change it to linux home partition? [07:21] sho__: no, just make sure it has a file system. create one if the installer didn't [07:24] ducasse: do I need to format the partition first, to clean it from any traces of data from previous installation? [07:25] hi. buying a new computer over the next few days and I will be using Ubuntu! Is there still troubles with UEFI mode on newer motherboard? Ubuntu will be the only operating system [07:25] boomernang: never had problems with that. [07:25] boomernang, no, there is a fine uefi manual [07:25] !uefi [07:25] 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 [07:25] sho__: if there is anything on it, i would. as long as it's nothing you need, at least. [07:26] and Samsung SSD's are all good? the evo 850.. dont have to do any commands? [07:27] boomernang: i have two of those, work fine. [07:27] beautiful [07:27] thanks! [07:27] it is almost empty. ok, just format it from disks window? [07:28] sho__: yes, or command line. whatever you're comfortable with. [07:32] no luck hateball, however I do have an installed linux distro but only cli stuff i can f6 in to root [07:33] what is the sudo command for checking what drivers need to be installed and the one for installing them? === D is now known as Guest90677 === jatt is now known as Guest69524 === never2far_ is now known as never2far === never2far is now known as Guest57587 [07:45] ducasse: say, I never paid attention to disks, what is the indicator that I have successfully formatted it? [07:45] hi [07:45] hello [07:45] sho__: the fact that mkfs returned no error. [07:45] sho__: What are you actually trying to accomplish by "formatting your drive"? [07:46] emptying it for my new /home? [07:47] bekks: right now I use the disks GUI. and I never use it for formatting before. [07:48] sho__: you dont need to format it before, just tell the installer to do so. [07:48] bekks: already done? [07:48] already in progress, tbh. [07:49] bekks: he needs to move /home to a new fs, / is full. [07:49] ducasse: ah, I see. [07:52] none of the USB 3.0 (blue) ports on my computer are working with ubuntu 15.10 (kernel 4.2.0-41-generic). Devices are getting power and pointing devices/flash drives etc. all light up their LEDs... but devices are not detected by system pointers are frozen on screen etc. [07:52] so... any indicator of whether it is done formatting or not, ducasse, bekks? [07:52] BlackDalek: 15.10 is eol [07:52] lsusb shows nothing connected to computer [07:52] sho__: there shouldn't be any, it should finish without errors. [07:52] BlackDalek: what devices are you plugging in [07:53] ooh yes, 15.10 [07:53] the circle is still spinning. is that means the drive hasn't been completely formatted? [07:53] ikonia, every conceivable USB device... mice, usb memory stick, external hdd, bluetooth dongle.. none work in the USB3.0 ports. All devices work in the USB2.0 ports. [07:55] sho__: i never use the disks gui, is there no output? [07:55] BlackDalek: ducasse is right though, 15.10 is EOL, support has ended, sorry [07:56] ikonia, I know 15.10 is eol, but a laptop, also running 15.10 has working USB3.0 port. Thought might be some simple reason why they don't work on the desktop computer. :/ [07:57] mm... can you open your disks GUI and see whether there is a spinning icon beside the hard disk? [07:57] BlackDalek: yes, its EOL which means end of support too [07:57] if that doesn't inconvenience you... [07:58] ikonia, I guess I'll upgrade it to 16.04 and see if the USB ports magically start working. [07:58] BlackDalek, know issues, no solution than using a usb2 port. [08:07] sho__: no spinning icons here. [08:10] ducasse: ok. [08:10] disks give a apinning wheel when buzy, no notion when the partitioning is done. it just appears on your unity panel. [08:12] there is no way to cancel formatting process in linux, is there? [08:12] sho__: ctrl-c? [08:13] 0erHeks: but is it automatically mounted? [08:13] Wulf: using GUI, sorry. [08:13] sho__, not automaticly mounted, it appears as an icon. [08:13] sho__: close the GUI? [08:15] not working. [08:15] I try to reformat it again using quick format and it gives me this: [08:15] Error wiping device: Command-line `wipefs -a "/dev/dm-1"' exited with non-zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/dm-1: probing initialization failed: Device or resource busy (udisks-error-quark, 0) [08:16] and the circle is still spinning. [08:16] sho__: wipefs will take several hours to complete, and there is one process still running. [08:16] Im trying to mount my drive afp in fstab rather than cifs since afp is faster. I've searched the entire internet and havent found anything even attempting to mount afp in fstab instead of cifs [08:16] haa... I'm still in a cafe too... I can't get anywhere if this goes on. [08:17] !info afpfs-ng-utils [08:17] Package afpfs-ng-utils does not exist in xenial [08:17] Hmm :) [08:18] can I "hibernate" my PC and continue it home? [08:19] sho__, i won't try to find out. [08:19] I'd rather just terminate that process, since it isnt needed. [08:21] what process should I kill? [08:21] the wipefs process still running. [08:21] pgrep wipefs [08:22] no process of that name. === psycho is now known as Guest49421 [08:26] err... what is it again the ubuntu channel that does off-topic stuff? [08:26] #ubuntu-offtopic ?

[08:47] hello all, with the new interface naming for NICs e.g. wlp2s0 for my wireless adapter and for my ethernet NIC enp0s31f6 if the configuration file "/etc/network/interfaces" do I need to replace eth0 with this new names? [08:48] for having internet connexion [08:48] you may find the API usage here https://test-case-generator.herokuapp.com/documentation/ [08:48] yang indo cungh [08:48] hi [08:49] hi. [08:49] jair: if you use /etc/network/interfaces for networking (as opposed to NetworkManager or systemd-networkd), yes [08:49] how can I edit the sudoers file so that one specific command would run without the need of "sudo" ? [08:50] just the other day I created a xenial VM with ubuntu-vm-builder and it had no network because /etc/network/interfaces said eth0 instead of ens3 :/ [08:51] !sudo | skylite [08:51] skylite: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [08:51] do anybody have ideas why when i connect to VPN thru usb tethering is only ping working , but when then connect with bluetoth + usb tethering is working ok. I only want to use usb tethering, What am i missing? is it route problem? [08:52] blckshep: Sounds like a DNS issue. [08:52] yes but i have edit dns [08:52] mgedmin: hi... thank you for your info, I am using the /etc/network/interfaces for networking [08:53] blckshep: Sounds like you still have a DNS problem. [08:53] mgedmin: can I show you what I have in my file? paste.debian.net for example? [08:53] sure [08:53] i have check route -n when is only usb tethering and again to see when i have both connection to see the diference [08:54] mgedmin: because what I am not understanding is that when I type dig by itself I get the 127.0.1.1 as my dns server in use [08:54] where to look any ideas* [08:54] blckshep: of course the output will be different. [08:54] I have 2 ubuntu systems dual booting sharing a home partition but with 2 seperate home dirs. One ubuntu ghot damaged how do I reformat only its root partion. Lets assume its root partion is /dev/sda11 [08:54] blckshep: What exactly isnt working? [08:55] HoolaHoop: the installer will format the patitions you choose [08:55] I am in a live boot session with the livecd of the version for which I want to reformat its root partition only [08:55] HoolaHoop: Dont let us assume, but tell us about the actual root partition :) [08:55] HoolaHoop: or use the disk tools to format the partition you select [08:55] mgedmin: http://paste.debian.net/790209/ [08:55] ikonia: Ok I have ubuntu 14.x and kubuntu 16.04 [08:55] HoolaHoop: exactly what I said to do [08:55] how can i chat well in this channel? [08:55] !guidelines | keini [08:55] keini: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [08:55] my kubuntu 16.04 root is /dev/sda10 [08:56] when is only usb tethering is only ping working ,but when i have bluetooth+ usb tethering connection is VPN working ok [08:56] blckshep: only ping ? [08:56] jair: 127.0.1.1 as DNS server indicates you're running a caching dnsmasq locally [08:56] jair: it's perfectly normal [08:56] and my host file looks like this: http://paste.debian.net/790211/ [08:56] tanks you ikonia [08:56] blckshep: "only ping is working" means nothing. Do you ping an IP or a FQDN? [08:56] hi, because of two issues i am not able to login on my ubuntu system. 1. something got broken on nvidia config. i just want to restore my old xorg. I cannot access any terminal. i ve tried the "text" kernel param but it does not work. moreover any tty is blank screen i think beacuse of a resolution problem of my hidpi laptop display. i ve tried also booting in recovery mode. i can just get into a read only system. any suggestion on ho [08:56] blckshep: what is the address of the device you are using and what is the route it's using and what interface is it going out of [08:56] ikonia: so in manual options in the setup if I pick only a root patrtition and continue with the install partition it will over overwrite the root without touching the other partitions ? [08:56] jair: your /etc/network/intetrfaces looks weird; "nameservers" and "search" are not supported options for that file [08:57] HoolaHoop: it will format whatever you tell it to [08:57] mgedmin: hmm but what if I would like it to use a different dns server becaue I am not able to access my machines by the prefix name [08:57] I have to always put the fqdn [08:57] jair: is this ubuntu or debian you are using [08:58] mgedmin: what are the supported options dns-search? and dns-nameservers? [08:58] debian [08:58] jair: ok, we don't support debian here [08:58] I'm not sure; I rarely use those :/ [08:58] I can see you asking in #debian - so please take this conversation there [08:58] jair: you can always replace the /etc/resolv.conf symlink with a file that hardcodes your config [08:58] err no [08:58] ikonia: dude do you know that if it wasn't for debian you will not be using ubuntu [08:58] jair: so ? [08:58] ikonia: please stop bothering [08:58] jair: please use #debian for debian support [08:59] ikonia: if you will not help\ [08:59] jair: please follow the rules, take the conversation to #debian [09:00] is it possible to watch netflix via firefox on 16.04.1? i can't get it work tried everyting on duckduckgo [09:00] mgedmin: if I edit the resolv.conf file it shows that it will be overwritten :( [09:00] don't edit the file; remove the symlink and create a new file [09:00] this is route -n when is usb tethering [09:00] blckshep@t43s:~$ route -n [09:00] Kernel IP routing table [09:00] Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface [09:00] 0.0.0.0 192.168.42.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 usb0 [09:00] 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1002 0 0 eth0 [09:00] assuming debian does the same as ubuntu -- you should really be asking this in #debian [09:00] ggnoredo: what has duckduckgo got to do with netflix [09:00] blckshep: use a pastebin to share data [09:00] i meant i searched a lot on the internet [09:01] ggnoredo: so netflix still has flash depdencies and a html5 pilot [09:01] ggnoredo: did you try another browser [09:01] ggnoredo: and silverlight I think [09:01] ggnoredo: so it really depends what you are using and how [09:01] it may be some special plugins needed and not the browser itself [09:01] it was working on 14.01.

[09:11] hateball: hi again! I am not sure if it removed any conflicting packages, will paste that.

[09:14] gnyrfta: Did you manually overwrite packaged alsalibs with a compiled/external version? [09:14] downloaded the packages and built from source, [09:14] Yeah, that's... [09:14] hateball: yes, that is probable [09:16] hateball: do you think I could reinstall alsalibs using sudo apt-get and have it overwrite my overwriting? [09:16] yes you can force reinstall it [09:16] gnyrfta: first I would make uninstall, if that was provided with your source [09:16] gnyrfta: and then reinstall, yes [09:16] Im trying to mount my drive afp in fstab rather than cifs since afp is faster. I've searched the entire internet and havent found anything even attempting to mount afp in fstab instead of cifs [09:17] hateball and hoolahoop: thanks, I'll try that [09:17] your welcome but hateball suggestion of running "make uninstall" is good would give you a better cleanup [09:18] then you wont have to force reinstall alsalibs [09:18] yuou can just install it with apt-get isntall [09:18] *install [09:19] hello everyone [09:19] can anyone explain why im getting :"the connection was reset" [09:19] where ?

[09:23] kenrin: bluefish [09:24] Im trying to mount my drive afp in fstab rather than cifs since afp is faster. I've searched the entire internet and havent found anything even attempting to mount afp in fstab instead of cifs [09:24] keini: there isnt really exactly a dreamweaver equivalent. Buthtere are lots of other softwares you can use. E.g. pingendo for bootstrap [09:24] you may be able to get dreamweaver to run on linux via wine but you need to check [09:24] keini: bluefish [09:25] Guys i am trying to install a software through the software center, but it asks me for password for the root account. [09:25] ok tanks [09:25] sarek: there should be a man page (mount.afp), try reading that [09:25] I have sudo access, but i dont know password for root account [09:25] pwn: give your user password [09:25] HoolaHoop: It doesnt work [09:25] HoolaHoop: that still didnt work [09:25] ugh none of his crappy advice works for anyone [09:25] G66K: did you run a2ensite ? [09:26] can someone else help us? [09:26] pwn: then use apt [09:26] pwn: give it sudo password? [09:26] and ditch the sofware centre [09:26] sho__: It says: Password for root: __________ [09:26] if i give me sudo password, it says authentication failed. [09:26] And i dont see place to change account to my account. [09:27] pwn: ok then use apt or synaptic [09:27] But yes i can do sudo apt-get install perfectly lfine.. [09:27] HoolaHoop: i just did and still same issues [09:27] pwn: then its a software centre glitch I guess switch over [09:27] pwn: root has no password. And sudo asks for the user password, not the root password. [09:27] pwn: So which command are you running there? [09:27] G66K: look at apache logs in /var/log/apache2/error.log [09:27] bekks: different user name that is the root basically and made the setup [09:28] lets call it ROOTCOMPANY [09:28] or whatever [09:28] bekks: he seems to have a problem with the password prompt in the ubuntu software centre [09:28] HoolaHoop: all other website logs into error.log except that one im trying to make it work [09:28] point is i can't put my sudo password, it wont work [09:28] pwn: So which command are you running there? [09:28] hateball: i did make uninstall, the alsa package to install, would it be alsa-base? [09:28] there is no such thing as a "sudo password". [09:28] how can i install it? [09:29] pingendo [09:29] pwn: we understood that now we dont know what is causing that problem so in the meantime use apt or synaptic if somewhere else can help you troubleshoot then cool. But in the meanwhile use apt or synaptic. [09:29] keini: apt-get install bluefish [09:29] ok [09:29] keini: its is closed source just download the archive for your architcture extract and run [09:30] but it is specifically for bootstrap. [09:30] For a more general purpose environment as suggested use bluefish [09:30] G66K: hmm [09:31] anybody can please check my question? [09:31] G66K: Just recheck your config [09:31] I am sure it must be some sort of config issue if the daemon is running and other sites are working except this one [09:31] maybe a typo in the config ? === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [09:39] what good dictionnary can you propose me in ubuntu os? [09:40] and how to having it [09:40] gnyrfta: I assume so [09:41] hateball: i found the list of alsa packages in my distribution here http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/sound/ so I'm testing installing them : ) [09:41] gnyrfta: apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base [09:42] gnyrfta: but it may have dependencies that needs reinstalling also [09:42] gnyrfta: you can check with apt-cache depends alsa-base [09:42] or whatever package [09:42] hateball: ah, ok - I did a normal install, I'll do that instead.

[10:08] Too bad it isnt. [10:08] Is it true Ubuntu is working on its own Kernel so it can break away from Linux completely and become it's own OS completely? [10:08] BenSolo|Cell: No. [10:09] BenSolo|Cell: no [10:09] BenSolo|Cell: people have been saying that for years, and it's still just as untrue as it was when it was first suggested as a joke. [10:09] So you know this for sure? [10:10] Cause it seems beneficial for canonical. [10:10] really doesn't [10:10] Better for Canonical to continue to contribute to the Linux kernel, benefiting themselves in that way [10:11] Assuming having its own kernel is inherently somehow better for canonical/ubuntu is completely incorrect and missing the point. [10:11] BenSolo|Cell: yes, it's nonsense [10:11] I guess if Redhat never did it, Ubuntu won't. [10:11] Worked well for Mac OS though.. [10:11] slightly off topic, is that true that Qubes is going to do that? [10:12] It came from Unix. [10:12] or too much off topic? [10:12] BenSolo|Cell: Google are the ones making a new OS, not us. [10:12] not sure where this is going [10:12] But yes, this is off topic [10:12] BenSolo|Cell: do you have a support question we can help with?

Why are u making life hard for urselfs guys [10:13] msev-: there are very few intel tablets [10:14] msev-: intel pulled out of the market [10:14] Popey nope I'm always here answering questions and helping.. Have been for years I'm fine chan was dead. There is helping the channel there is just complaining to complain. [10:14] I'm fine chan was dead <- meaning? [10:14] just because a channel is quiet, doesn't mean it reverts to chatter [10:14] it's a support channel [10:14] use it properly [10:14] so, here is my question. [10:14] I do. [10:14] Shh [10:15] how do I get current focused windows title and name? [10:15] sho__: xwininfo [10:15] uh... wrong question, I think. [10:16] correct me, please. Right now I am using firefox to browse webchat freenode. [10:16] is firefox the focused windows? [10:16] *window. [10:18] I have a support question. [10:18] sho__: not sure I understand what you're asking. yes, the window that has focus, is the focused window.. [10:18] is there any way I can see how long a given process has been blocking on the current system call it is trying to execute? [10:19] sho__: xdotool has "getwindowfocus" which might be what you're looking for [10:19] I have an application in which prcesses issue flock()s, I want to lok when they start and terminate [10:19] but I can't change the application code [10:20] lok->log [10:20] so, the definition of focused window is the current window that I am engaging right now? [10:20] well, the stackexchange also suggested that. = [10:20] this one. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/38867/is-it-possible-to-retrieve-the-active-window-process-title-in-gnome [10:21] sho__: well there's your answer? [10:21] Hey guys, i have a strange network problem on a 14.04 install. When booting normally, it just block when activating network devices (and network related services i guess). If i boot on recovery mode and just manually start network and resume boot, everything goes fine [10:21] any idea on how find out what is blocking the normal boot ? [10:22] Check your netorking config? [10:23] Erm... I am not a programmer, nor I am fluent in bash. I am searching for ways to automatically create a log for it, but doesn't know how to capture the event? my programming experience is just scientific programming/data analysis. [10:23] sho__: a log for what? a log of which is the current window focussed, with date/timestamps? [10:23] yep. the moment a window is focused. [10:24] or is there such log? [10:24] sho__: it's do-able in a script, sure. [10:25] bekks: network conf seems fine, since it's starting ok on recovery. Also after resuming boot on recovery, i can ifdown -a and ifup -a without any problem [10:25] sho__: http://askubuntu.com/questions/779873/is-there-software-which-time-tracks-window-application-usage [10:26] How should I parse and filter those IPs from text file which states is unreachable eg. this is the text file looks like https://gist.github.com/arunsingh/cd2f31e4af4bb37875d9545fd95b276d out of which I want to filter unreachable IP & write that output to new file [10:27] indistylo: /join #bash [10:29] thanks popey.

[11:16] glitchd: uhm your bios decides which device your hardware is going to try first. you could possibly boot usb from grub on another drive, but still. [11:17] and also, most newer bioses have an F-key shortcut to bring up a boot menu, like F12 on Dells for example === muskrat is now known as cockerspaniel [11:23] FinalX, yep i know, but i was just wondering [11:34] 'Morning all [11:37] drumcode303: paste a link, and i'll take a look [11:42] ducasse: http://dpaste.com/0EVQGXA - the error varies when I try to run it with bash instead of dash [11:42] cts === chance is now known as cts [11:43] Hi [11:44] root === root is now known as Guest4439 [11:45] I have an ubuntu 16.04 with an iscsi drive (marked as _netdev).

[12:29] TomyWork: typically Ubuntu doesn't release new versions of anything, instead they try to bug fix existing versions. So report them in the bug tool, and then start looking for workarounds would be my suggestion. [12:30] TomyWork, i'm just curious what issues are you having? I use 16.04 now, and was just wondering what I should look out for. [12:31] Tin_man you cant symlink units to anything but /usr [12:32] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2298 [12:32] i'll take a look see..

[12:37] Tin_man 2973 is post-229 [12:37] ok.

[13:07] wildmanron: some said about xhci/usb3 module not properly wakeup [13:09] i did the upgrade to 16.04 and the system wouldn't wake up so i formated the drive and reinstalled 14.04 now it wont wake up it use to be ok now not so much. [13:11] Hi, what tool do you use to manipulate JKS keystore ? [13:11] some suggest to disable usb3 support with boot option noxhci-port-switch , compile kernel without usb3 support or upgrade to kernel 4.6/4.7 [13:11] wildmanron, sleep or suspend? [13:12] when the system goes to sleep after the time where you don't use the system and it blanks the screen well it wont wake up from that anymore and i never had that trouble before with 14.04 till i upgraded the system [13:13] then when i reinstalled 14.04 now when it blanks the screen it wont come back on i have to power off the system then back on again to use it [13:13] i upgraded to kernel 4.7 and seem suspend to ram fine, occasionally freeze though [13:14] wildmanron, i don't let the system timer put the pc to suspend/sleep.

[14:27] sho__: your question is a bit weird. if you have the tar file that you unpacked, the directory contents are in the tar file [14:28] Am I missing something, or has the graphical configuration applet for keyboard layouts disappeared in Xenial? [14:28] yep. [14:29] akik... uninstalling from tar file that has been made that I am confused about. [14:29] sho__: usually a tar file is just a copy of a directory structure [14:30] sho__: i'm unsure what you mean by uninstalling from tar file [14:30] mm... Just assume I am just a beginner at ubuntu. [14:32] sho__: so what do you mean? :) [14:32] sho__: you want to do a 'make uninstall'? does the software in question even support that? [14:33] so, I unpacked a tar.gz file, ./configure, then make, then make install. I confess that I don't know what I did and just following the instructions. [14:34] sho__: yes, but what is it you want to do _now_? [14:35] ducasse: remove it from my PC. [14:35] it would seem that sho__ wants to do the equivalent of a "make uninstall," interpreting from previous statements. [14:35] sho__: try running "make uninstall" from the source/build directory. [14:37] done. [14:38] now I just need to remove all of the file and folders? [14:38] sho__: That should have already done so. [14:38] huh? [14:39] it is still there? [14:40] sho__: You're being very vague with your questions. Please be specific. [14:40] Is what still there? [14:40] sho__: the source directory you will need to remove manually, but any installed files should now be gone. [14:40] ok. [14:43] wait. So, as long as the program exists, its existence depends on the existence of the uncompressed tar folder? === coy is now known as Guest21092 [14:46] sho__: no, everything it needs is installed other places in the file system [14:47] hello [14:50] I have a question regarding DNS.

[17:54] pavlos, ducasse: the "find" and "ls" commands only work on the default drive, There are multiple drives that have to be searched. "locate" finds the files on all drives. [17:54] hi #ubuntu community [17:54] worth noting I've already tried grepping for NO_PUBKEY and running apt-key :P [17:54] ksft: Can you log in using a tty?

[17:55] bekks: yes, that's how I'm using IRC [17:55] guys, apache2 (2.4.7) on my box just stopped loading /etc/apache2/envvars file when it loads config a few hours ago. before that, it was working fine for many months [17:55] how do I get apache to load this file with config ? [17:55] bekks I did? [17:55] ksft: And you did check the obvious things like the xorg.log etc.? [17:56] Haris: Restore from backup. [17:56] bekks: I don't knwo what I'm looking for in it [17:56] TBotNik: 'find' works with whatever you point it at [17:56] Rarrikins: ? [17:56] lol768: Havent seen that much PPA on one system yet. [17:56] ksft: Error, anomalies, etc. [17:56] Rarrikins: there's nothing wrong with the file. I guess its just not being included [17:56] haha [17:56] ksft: Or just pastebin it? [17:56] TBotNik: fine, then find / -path "*/Scripts/*.sh" -exec ... [17:56] I should clean them up one day [17:57] say... in a group of (5) PCs have Xubuntu 16 as base distro... and i'll would like to add on top of, the same set of extra packages/apps.. any hints on how to do this more efficiently than 'on by one' PC (individually) ? [17:57] what can I do to make apache2 load this file ? [17:57] jordila: it's simple, but .. shell script? [17:57] Rarrikins: I don't know what 'restore from backup' means. I don't think I have backups for this thing [17:57] !clone | jordila [17:57] jordila: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [17:57] jordila: Create on master image, backup the box, restore the image on the other boxes? [17:58] ah... lol768, i like simple solutions [17:58] bekks: where is it? [17:58] ooh, apt-clone sounds cool though [17:58] do I need to re-install apache2 on this box ? this is 14.4 LTS [17:58] ksft: where did you look yet? === g4b1t is now known as G4b1t [17:58] ah... bekks, this adds the value of backup/snaphot kind of ? [17:58] do I need to reboot this box ? [17:58] Haris: executing apache2 doesn't load envvars. apachectl does. You can source the envvars file yourself before executing apache2 if you want. [17:58] bekks: for xorg.log? [17:58] ksft: Yes. [17:59] well, it isn't in ~ [17:59] jchampion: I want the box to be back to as it was implemented by ubuntu makers. is that possible ? [17:59] ksft: So look in /var/log/ [17:59] how does ubuntu do it ? [17:59] ubotty, i'll have a look at your suggested "apt-clone" ... [17:59] bekks: there's Xorg.0.log [17:59] ksft: So look at it. [18:00] bekks: Xorg.1.log, Xorg.8.log Xorg.failsafe.log [18:00] ,* [18:00] Haris: restore from backups, or purge the installation entirely. hopefully someone here can explain apt purging better than I can. [18:00] ducasse: So I have to address the drives individually, when instead I want to address the entire computer with all drives at once? [18:00] Haris: but that's a fairly drastic option, mind you [18:00] bekks ... how do you create a master image ? ^^ any hint will be more than welcomed [18:01] !clone | jordila [18:01] jordila: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate [18:02] TBotNik: if you want to search all drives, point find at the root. locate will only return indexed files.

[18:06] silly question maybe. but im confused about the "connect to server" option in nautilus. What is the best way to share a folder over my wifi network with another ubuntu machine? openssh or samba? It seems difficult to find info on the correct way to do this. any suggestions? [18:06] ksft: I suppose you tried to purge (not only remove) all nvidia related packages, and tried nvidia-prime? [18:07] ducasse: Having trouble getting that command right. Will update the pastebin with what I'm actually writing the new script for! [18:07] ksft: life would be so boring if Nvidia on ubuntu worked out of the box :D [18:07] what could cause this problem that I'd need drastic measures ?

[18:50] ksft: Nother thought, as the driver has been changed so many times - does the hardware agree with what the system thinks is loaded ? compare : - lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' ; cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log - for the hardware "in-use" .

Back up before you do anything like that. [18:52] Bashing-om: or "in-use" [18:54] YankDownUnder: the problem is, I had windows with Ubuntu, moved the windows 350mb partition (I think its for the bootloader or something) and windows broke, so I formatted it partitions, I did not change partition table, but now it says it needs another partition table to work [18:54] ksft: In the file in the section - Section "ServerLayout" - is it Inactive "nvidia" ? [18:54] YankDownUnder: how can I check what is my partition table now? and is the partition table for all partitions of a hard drive? or just one partition of it? [18:55] atralhea-: parted can tell you partition table type. they can be converted, but there is a risk in doing so. [18:55] atralhea-: Use gparted (it's on the liveUSB/CD/DVD => you'll be able to see what's what using that utility [18:56] Bashing-om: I don't see "ServerLayout" anywhere in that file eitehr [18:56] either* [18:57] ksft: Post the file .. lemme have a read then . [18:57] okay [18:57] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/18kp === nehanic_ is now known as nicolom [18:59] I thought Lilo was long ago retired by grub, but I see it's still around. I don't know much about bootloaders. Why does Ubuntu use grub instead? [19:00] can I somehow switch to MBR and also have multiboot option with windows? [19:00] ksft: Sorry, to be clear, this cat /etc/X11/Xorg.conf is the control file here in question ., post that one . [19:01] ohh [19:01] xcyclist: GRUB has more functionality than does "lilo" - I was in the "school" that refused to move from lilo for a long time...however, especially with a vast array of different partition layouts - and drives - and EFI/UEFI setups, GRUB works heaps better... [19:01] Bashing-om: doesn't exist [19:01] Thank you. [19:02] Is there any performance advantage to Lilo? [19:02] atralhea-: mbr or gpt doesn't really affect multiboot, except that gpt can have more partitions. [19:02] xcyclist: Mmmmm...no. :) [19:03] I wonder what docker uses? [19:04] ksft: Got to have it for being able to switch graphic's sets ! .., try and make up one ' sudo nvidia-xconfig ' Reboot - without the boot parameter in force . now see what nvidia-prime will do . [19:04] Bashing-om: I don't have nvidia-prime installed now [19:04] ducasse: the problems is that I need to change partition table to gpt, but its risky, I can use MBR to have windows beside my ubuntu (for some apps I need it), windows is now supporting GPT or MBR partition tables, not msdos. I just... hate that I need it! [19:05] Bashing-om: or nvidia-xconfig === ubuntu is now known as Guest1330 [19:05] xcyclist: There are a few different options for booting in Docker...Boot2docker is one...obviously grub is used... [19:05] hello [19:06] ksft: ^^ in that case then, you also do not have the Nvidia driver installed .. back to square one . [19:06] atralhea-: there is a risk, but normally it works fine. you should back up first, though. [19:06] Bashing-om: right, because I uninstalled it [19:06] Bashing-om: that's the only way I've found to log in normally [19:07] ducasse: I can fool it with installing 8.1 first, and then upgrading to 10, so I have win10 on msdos partition table! thats what im going to do. can I bring back bootloader to be able to boot ubuntu, with a live ubuntu? [19:07] atralhea-: i don't understand what you mean. [19:08] ducasse: which part? [19:09] ksft: Tell ya what .. let's see if we can get the system up graphics wise with the default open source graphic's driver . Yeah ? [19:09] sure [19:09] atralhea-: all of it :) ubuntu can use both mbr and gpt, if that's what you mean. you might need to reinstall the bootloader if you convert, though. [19:10] Bashing-om: how? [19:10] atralhea-: the big deal is really whether you want to boot in legacy or uefi mode. some machines can only run uefi on gpt. [19:11] ducasse: I have msdos partition table, and I have ubuntu installed, I wanted to install windows (10), but it needs GPT partition table, but windows 8.1 would be installed fine on msdos partition table, so I will install windows 8.1, upgrade to 10, and then, installing windows problem solved. [19:12] atralhea-: maybe, i know nothing about windows. [19:12] ducasse: then my laptop will directly boot to windows, so I need to bring the linux bootloader back, I can do it with a live disk, right? [19:12] atralhea-: yes. [19:13] ducasse: thank you :) [19:13] atralhea-: np. [19:16] Would this be a good way to check and restart if a restart is required after installing updates?

[19:18] hello, I have an MD-RAID-5 with 4 drives. Everytime I want to access it and the drives have spun down, they get active one after the other, resulting in about 30second delay. Is there any way to tell the kernel that he spins up all together? === u0_a210 is now known as pawkee === pingwindyktator is now known as stonoga [19:20] Bashing-om: the first two commands did nothing [19:20] does anyone use redshift here to lower color temperature? how do I adjust the color temperature to a certain value in redshift? [19:20] Bashing-om: the third one says it can't be installed because of something about dependencies [19:20] ubuntu-desktop is already installed === stonoga is now known as pingwindyktator [19:21] After ejecting a usb disk from nautilus (or using udisksctl power-off), how can I re-connect it without physically unplug/replugging it? [19:23] hallo [19:26] i have a problem with a dell xps15 touchpad after upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 - the right click no longer works on the touchpad but works fine with an external mouse - i tried the suggestion @ https://askubuntu.com/questions/579645/right-click-on-synaptic-touchpad-not-working-on-ubuntu-14-10 but it didn't fix the problem. i haven't found anything else that suggests a fix [19:27] ksft: K; then the 1st order of predidence is to fix the dependencies . pastebin ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' . Let's se what has to be fixed . [19:29] Bashing-om: you want the output of those? [19:30] yolo [19:30] ksft: Unless you can fix the depencency issues on your own. then yes I need to see what the nature of the dependency problem is . [19:30] okay [19:30] just a sec [19:34] Bashing-om: apt-get update: http://termbin.com/o5e2 [19:34] Bashing-om: apt-get upgrade: http://termbin.com/9jli [19:36] i mounted a partition with an encrypted home. how do i decrypt it given that i have to login password of that user?

[19:40] so I'm trying to setup an Ubuntu 16.0 LTS server to use nsupdate to update DNS, however when I add any script to the /etc/dhcp/dhclient-exit-hooks.d directory, the system refuses to bring up the network, stating the network interface is down, the same script works perfectly on 14.x LTS, any suggestions? [19:41] ksft: Well, well .. maybe now we are getting somewhere ! .,. try ' sudo apt install xserver-xorg-core xorg-video-abi-15 ' . [19:43] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/8ef5 [19:43] Grorco: writing two commands and joining them with && means that you want "shell" to execute them. So, try instead something like this: sh -c 'command1 && command2' [19:43] Grorco: or, create a script, put it in your /home/username/.local/bin (new folder, create it), and then call that script [19:43] crazyphil: Maybe your script does not have the correct name for 16.04's systemd ? : https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ . [19:44] alkisg, thanks I didn't feel I needed a script I'm just opening pycharm and moving it to another workspace [19:45] ksft: Been in this rabbit hole before, may take us a bit to get to the bottom ! .. try now ' sudo apt install libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23 ' . [19:46] hey, my laptop after upgrade to 16.04.1 could not start - I had this error "Failed to start load kernel modules". So I logged in as root, entered "sudo dpkg --configure -a" command but still failing. now I'm trying to connect to wifi network to run updates again, but can't do that. [19:46] is there any way to backup to previous version of kernel from command line? [19:46] without internet conneciton? [19:47] akkonrad: Try booting to the grub boot menu and boot an older kernel ?? [19:47] akkonrad: ls /boot/vmlinuz* ==> if you have many files there, you have many kernels, and you can select an older one [19:47] (from grub like Bashing-om said) [19:48] Bashing-om: already installed === pingwindyktator is now known as dupa [19:49] ksft: Huh ? as we have " libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed " your reply " already installed" ' Does not compute . Details please . [19:50] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/rwk1 [19:51] Bashing-om: that was the first thing I checked, it's definitely using the right interface name, and if I run the script manually it works without issue, just don't know why it kills the boot [19:52] crazyphil: verify that it returns 0, success [19:52] !info linux-headers [19:52] Package linux-headers does not exist in xenial [19:52] !info linux-headers-generic [19:52] !info linux-headers-generic [19:52] linux-headers-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel headers.

[19:54] kernel 4.2? is that a 15.10? [19:54] Bashing-om: it's 4.2, not the 4.4 found in xenial... which version is ... ^ that [19:55] I'm on 14.04 [19:55] So probably kernel-lts-wily or something [19:55] alkisg: how do I verify that? [19:55] not opposed to upgrading to 16.04, though [19:55] not lts-xenial [19:55] ksft: "dpkg -l | grep linux-image | nc termbin.com 9999" [19:56] crazyphil: for starters, run it from the command line, and immediately afterwards, run: echo $? [19:56] k1l_: http://termbin.com/niwt [19:56] And see if it's zero [19:56] yeah, i suspect the wily lts stack (which is EOL now). so that needs to be changed to the xenial LTS stack anyway [19:56] ok, it's definitely returning 0 [19:56] however I just noticed I might have had it using the wrong shell [19:57] crazyphil, it would help if you put it to pastebin [19:58] ksft: I haven't seen your initial issue, but yes you need to upgrade your kernel to lts-xenial by following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [19:58] even though I'm on 14.04? [19:58] Yes [19:58] okay [19:58] Read that wiki page, it explains the kernel updating policy [19:59] ksft: ok, lets try to get the depencies out of the way and bring you to the supported kernel stack: "sudo apt-get remove unity-control-center " then run "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial " [19:59] You now have the kernels of vivid and wily, which are old and replaced by xenial [19:59] k1l_: should I be doing that in addition to what alkisg suggested? [19:59] ksft: and after that: "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends unity-control-center " [19:59] ksft: that is the same [19:59] oh, okay [19:59] alkisg: http://pastebin.com/512ppL4k [20:00] ksft: follow what k1l_ is suggesting, he combines the wiki page with your actual issue [20:00] Although k1l_ I think that removing and reinstalling unity-control-center won't also put back its r-depends... [20:00] the issue with the unity-control center is a known issue if you have one LTS stack and try to change inbetween. [20:01] afterwards you could get rid of the metapackages for the vivid and wily kernels and stack [20:01] k1l_: http://termbin.com/8c1o [20:03] ksft: from what command? [20:03] k1l_: the one you just gave me [20:03] iinstalling all those packages [20:03] installing* [20:03] oh [20:03] the second one [20:03] here's my boot log after I add the script: http://pastebin.com/u7Zh3v5V [20:04] ksft: k1l_ : finally at last we are getting to the root of the problems . [20:05] hmm ok. ksft do you have PPAs in use? [20:05] probably some [20:05] why? [20:06] crazyphil: these scripts are sourced by dhclient, so when you're setting the error flag, you're setting it for all scripts, so if some other scripts fails later on, boot stops [20:06] k1l_: ^^ There is a debian repo at play here ! [20:06] crazyphil: either don't set flags, or put them back as they were [20:07] ok, that makes perfect sense, and I was unaware it'd set the for all [20:07] ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d | nc termbin.com 39999 [20:08] OerHeks: I assume that's for me [20:08] that line shows ppas indeed [20:08] could `graphics-drivers-ppa-trusty` be relevant? [20:09] why filter it,... [20:09] you want the whole thing? [20:09] If you want serious help, yes. [20:09] http://termbin.com/ygqk [20:09] okay [20:10] ksft: ok. lets try to downgrade your trusty to the original trusty 3.13 kernel and xorg and if that worked then upgrade to the xenial stack again. [20:10] okay [20:10] ksft: "sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-video-all xserver-xorg-input-all libwayland-egl1-mesa " [20:10] how?

[20:29] !nomodeset | exezin [20:29] exezin: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [20:29] Bashing-om: Tried that [20:29] No luck [20:29] I'll have him give it another go though [20:29] ksft: "echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get purge" [20:30] ksft: that should remove all old kernels and headers in one go.

Everytime I want to access it and the drives have spun down, they spin up one after the other, resulting in about 30second delay. Is there any way to tell the kernel that he spins up all together? [20:31] Bashing-om: uh, why did you suggest it then [20:31] We've been struggling for like two weeks trying to get this damn thing working :/ [20:31] exezin: I responded prior to seeing that Intel is a factor here . [20:31] Oh alright [20:32] ksft: after that make sure "ubuntu-desktop" and "linux-generic" are still installed. then you could try a reboot. i need to have dinner now. [20:33] k1l_: "Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Abort." [20:33] ksft: it should list what it wants to remove. if that is all that old kernels and headers press yes [20:34] k1l_: I don't have a chance to answer [20:34] it automatically aborts [20:34] ksft: ok, wait. looks like xargs doesnt want user interaction.

[21:08] !bumblebee [21:08] The Bumblebee Project aims to support NVIDIA Optimus technology under Linux. The Bumblebee website can be found at http://bumblebee-project.org/ [21:08] so I shouldn't use Bumblebee? [21:08] how should I do it? [21:09] ksft: As above .. BumbleBee is depreciated . use nvidia-prime . ( there are those cases where BumbleBee is the better option .. it is still maintained !) . [21:10] Bashing-om: how do I use nvidia-prime? [21:11] ksft: I do not have it .. can not advise in that respect . [21:12] ksft: Gor starters: ' apt show nvidia-prime ' .

And what results in nvidia-prime when you switch the graphics to Nvidia ? [21:20] ksft: OR but but but .. may have to install the nvidia proprietary driver ! To have the ability to switch graphics sets . [21:20] Bashing-om: okay, how do I do that? [21:22] ksft: Well .. same as before .. happy to see if 370 works now ? easy as ' sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' as we are working from a clean base . [21:24] Is there a way to see what driver i have installed? [21:25] driver for what? [21:25] or maby if there is a driver i need to install? [21:25] well my instrallation keeps crashing [21:25] im thinking its driver stuff for gpu === beisner-biab is now known as beisner [21:28] I can past an imige of the crash report [21:30] not sure what else to do iv been trying to get this thing running for the past week, it started with black led light screen then did the nomad(cant rember whole thing) now its just not finishing install :(:(:( [21:30] Bashing-om: running… [21:30] one question I just clicked on creating a backup and it just eats all of my hdd space now. I probably have the wrong settings. cuz when i'm done with the backup i won't have any space on my hdd left. can I delete my backup. I would like to make a new backup but only of pc settings not all my files. [21:31] so can I just cancel the backup and delete it somehow? [21:32] Bashing-om: should I reboot now? [21:32] ksft: Yep. If ya feel all went well , reboot . [21:32] okay [21:34] Bashing-om: screen's black again [21:34] ksft: YUK ! [21:35] can I just delete deja-dup folder to get rid of my backup? [21:36] ksft: Let;s look at what fot installed ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' . [21:36] a yes would be enough [21:36] Bashing-om: http://termbin.com/5qml [21:38] ksft: Ouch ! I though we were in a "clean" state . nope ! " ii bumblebee " and all that cuda stuff . [21:39] Bashing-om: should I remove it? [21:39] libcuda* and bumblebee [21:40] k thx [21:40] google [21:41] ksft: Out of my depth again . We did remove all that .. and it is back for some reason .. All I can do is reinerate that BumbleBee and nvidia-prime will not co-exist ! And I know nothing of cuda . Earlier today the slate was clean ! [21:42] I might've reinstalled bumblebee when I was trying to run things on the nvidia graphics card [21:42] no idea where cuda came from, though [21:42] ksft do you have nvidia optimus problems? [21:42] Abe_: yes [21:43] good [21:43] I purged bumblebee [21:43] make sure to disable secure boot in uefi and get the recommended driver thats how i got my running. optimus is a pain [21:44] Abe_: how do I get the recommended driver? [21:44] under system settings and the additional drivers option [21:44] then* [21:44] Hello World! [21:44] hello alshulaih [21:44] okay, I'm going to reboot again [21:46] removed bumblebee [21:46] ksft: what ubuntu version are you using [21:46] still a black screen on boot [21:46] Abe_: 14.04 [21:46] mine got a black screen too cuz I have also optimus [21:47] I don't think I have optimus [21:47] I figured out it was the kernel version that gave me a black screen somehow, went back to my old ubuntu version with old kernel now everything works again [21:48] or nvidia-prime what do you have for a graphics card. do you have this intel nvidia setup right? [21:48] Abe_: that's right [21:48] it only seems to boot correctly when I have no nvidia packages installed [21:49] nvidia-prime is nvidia optimus. do you have a driver installed right now? [21:49] I had nvidia-370, nvidia-prime [21:49] nvidia-370 and nvidia-prime* [21:49] I just removed nvidia-prime [21:49] was about to reboot to see if that made it work [21:50] yes just get the recommended driver [21:50] rebooting.. [21:50] ...* [21:50] I would remove the driver first with apt-get remove nvidia* [21:52] maybe try a different driver. I got a black screen cuz i upgraded and I had this ver. 4.x kernel and i wouldn't run with it. when i went back to 3.13 everything worked again. so in my case it was the kernel [21:52] iy* [21:52] it* [21:52] so it boots when I have no nvidia* packages installed [21:53] otherwise, the screen goes black [21:53] so you're using the standart noveau driver now? [21:53] without any of those packages installed, can I run programs on the nvidia graphics card? [21:53] Abe_: I don't know [21:54] anything high graphical no i don't think so [21:54] I turned my storage into swap... am i shit out of luck on recovering data? [21:54] well you have to actually [21:54] Abe_: have to what? [21:54] oh sorry running the noveau driver now [21:55] you already do it it's okay [21:55] I assumed it was just using the Intel graphics card [21:55] it does but with open source drivers [21:55] oh, I thought nouveau was specifically for Nvidia graphics cards [21:56] What strategy do people generally use for naming internal-only servers from public servers? ie, wiki01.foo.com would be ext, vs wiki01.int.foo.com would be internal only, however it looks ugly imo and you have to type more. I like the idea of using a fake tld (ie, .lan) but that's a no-no. [21:56] so how do I run things with the Nvidia one? [21:56] I wrote my storage space over into swap... is there a way to reverse it or recover data [21:56] ksft: you have a laptop right? to get nvidia cards working you need to disable secure boot in your UEFI "Bios" too [21:56] done [21:56] foul_owl: I registered a real domain with a short name [21:56] did that already [21:58] I was considering that [21:59] Urgh why isn't .lan reserved for internal use? It's so nice looking haha [21:59] ksft: what laptop do you have there or what graphics card would be useful to know [22:01] i have a problem with a dell xps15 touchpad after upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 - the right click no longer works on the touchpad but works fine with an external mouse - i tried the suggestion @ https://askubuntu.com/questions/579645/right-click-on-synaptic-touchpad-not-working-on-ubuntu-14-10 but it didn't fix the problem. i haven't found anything else that suggests a fix [22:02] i also went through a lot of trouble to get nvidia-prime running. i never used bumblebee though [22:03] Abe_: GTX …something [22:03] -server darknetproject.anon/6697 [22:04] Abe_: GTX 960M === Roland_the_headl is now known as RolandThompson [22:04] Abe_: what Nvidia packages did/do you have other than nvidia-prime? [22:05] nothing just the nvidia driver [22:05] which is it? [22:05] k now i can google for your card [22:05] gt hold on [22:06] i use gt 730M [22:06] i reformat my ext4 storage partition to swap - can i recover data? [22:07] here google tells me this [22:07] maybe that helps ksft http://askubuntu.com/questions/768959/ubuntu-16-04-nvidia-drivers-for-geforce-gtx-960m [22:08] I'm on 14.04, but maybe [22:08] they use nvidia-364 [22:08] driver is driver [22:08] can anyone help me install lg gp60ns50 dvd writer drivers on ubuntu? [22:08] i don't think it makes a difference I also got that ppa actually :D also using a newer driver now [22:09] which one are you using? [22:09] why do I need a ppa to install nvidia-264? [22:09] well i have a different card so I use nvidia 358 [22:09] 264* [22:09] 364** [22:10] ksft: they give you the newest drivers [22:11] but i know that you should actually recommend doing this [22:11] not* [22:11] then what should I do? [22:13] ksft: to be honest I would try it anyway different driver maybe fixes it. maybe* [22:14] okay [22:14] installing nvidia-364 [22:15] if it doesn't boot correctly after, I'll uninstall it and install nvidia-prime [22:15] ksft: after I added this ppa I had lots to choose from. not all are working but my recommended one originally was nvidia-352 and now I'm using nvidia-358. the other once will not work like 370 they recommend me not working. http://www0.xup.in/exec/ximg.php?fid=73317691 [22:18] ksft: but my problem back then wasn't the driver... even if people don't believe me, it was the kernel i was using for some reason. it just wouldn't boot with it. i chose in grub menu my old kernel and it booted right up [22:20] this is strange, xinput --list doesn't display the touchpad [22:24] i reformatted my ext4 storage partition to swap - can i recover data? [22:29] I have Fedora 24, Ubuntu 16.04(just upgraded with errors) and Windows grub2 is controlled by Fedora but in Ubuntu I suppose it is not finding the partition .. and getting this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23068723/ how to resolve? is it possible to control the grub2 with ubuntu without loosing any OS? [22:32] !testdisk | ScrewedUp Not at all sure as swap has no file system [22:32] right? [22:32] !recovery [22:32] If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [22:32] i haven't even used the partition so it seems doable to undo the formatting [22:33] i'm trying to recover data on the partition [22:34] ScrewedUp: Not at all sure , but try some of these :https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery as swap has no file system . [22:37] hola [22:37] now I can't boot at all [22:37] the screen goes pinkish purple [22:38] I'm on a different computer now [22:38] help? [22:40] ksft, choose fallback/recovery/whatever at grub menu? [22:40] so no qtwebengine in ubuntu [22:41] qtwebkit has been removed on windows [22:41] afaik [22:41] zaccanasta: that depends on the qt version. not the base os [22:41] qt 5.5 i guess [22:42] the last supporting qtwebkit [22:42] lordcirth: that doesn't work either [22:42] and that is what 16.04 shipps. [22:43] !info qt5-default [22:43] qt5-default (source: qtbase-opensource-src): Qt 5 development defaults package. In component universe, is optional. Version 5.5.1+dfsg-16ubuntu7.1 (xenial), package size 16 kB, installed size 98 kB [22:43] well i guess i must use a bunch of #ifdefs for supporting both [22:45] fedora for instance has qt5-qtwebengine, why is it not possible in ubuntu? [22:45] zaccanasta: iirc the change came with qt5.6 === KindOne_ is now known as KindOne [22:46] i've been told no qtwebengine support in ubuntu even with qt5.6 [22:47] ah yeah, its included since qt 5.4, but its an issue on debian and ubuntu [22:48] hi [22:48] can anyone help me? [22:48] ciaoooo [22:48] ciaoooo === mrb_101 is now known as mrb101 [22:48] ciaoooo [22:49] zaccanasta: https://marc.info/?l=kde-core-devel&m=142954900813235&w=2 this gives you some background [22:50] zaccanasta: and here is some more uptodate view on it: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2016-May/010438.html [22:51] i know it's been a pain in the neck even for fedora (a dependency mess) [22:52] Greetings, i'm kind of in panic with a RAID issue in a factory server, i need help === james_ is now known as Guest7683 [22:53] DC85, Step 1: Don't panic. Step 2: Tell us the actual problem. [22:54] Hi mister lodcirth thank you for your atention, let me write it [22:55] hi! I'm running LTS 12.04. I've tried to follow the upgrade instructions for latest php5.5 and I keep getting 5.5.37. MediaWiki is insisting that to run their latest I need 5.5.9. What do? [22:55] I can't boot Ubuntu. The screen goes pinkish purple, and I can't do anything. [22:56] any news regarding the new AMD drivers so i get life in my old 5870 again? === Hoshi_ is now known as Hoshi [22:56] If I try to use recovery mode, there's a bunch of text I obviously can't pastebin. === Guest7683 is now known as JamesHalpert [22:56] TheMar|us: radeon is the only chance you have. there will be no amd support for that old cards [22:56] i have radeon 5870 [22:57] TheMar|us, no, the open radeon driver should work for you, as it does for me [22:57] radeon is the kernel open source driver [22:57] many steam games wont run [22:57] tfw when you got radeon 3000 built in your mobo [22:57] ah ok [22:57] i-make-robots, well, you should probably use a newer version of Ubuntu than 12.04. That's almost done support. [22:57] so i guess it will be nvidia next time i buy a computer [22:58] TheMar|us: amd stopped making fglrx. the now help making amd_gpu in the kernel, but they wont support old cards. you need a new cng card [22:58] lordcirth - how, please? I'm old, I need a reminder. [22:58] TheMar|us, new AMD cards are supported, just not old ones. [22:58] TheMar|us, or a recent AMD card, AMDgpu driver is more advanced. [22:58] ToMar|us lets see when AMDGPU will get better perfomance to the good level. [22:58] AMDgpu is also opensource. [22:58] atleast rx 480 has a descent price [22:59] Oerheks - 880fps on linux vs 2500fps on glxgears windows port? no thanks [22:59] the amd_gpu setup is way better for linux users. but it needs some more time and work right now [22:59] i-make-robots, does this server have other things on it? Migrating to 16.04 may be some work, if so. [22:59] Hoshi, glxgears is not a benchmark [22:59] still, my 8500M in laptop still works really slower at Wine than on windows [22:59] dont tested it on steam games so far [23:00] what about 6790? is that card supported by linux driver? should be [23:00] Hoshi, Wine being slow is Wine, not drivers [23:00] Does 16.04.1 have a good olde-fasion "run command" dialogue? [23:00] maybe [23:00] mr-rich-76, Alt, if I remember correctly? [23:01] mr-rich-76: alt+f2? [23:02] I have a Ubuntu Server 14.04 with a root fs within a raid1-two disk array. Then i have a raid10 array for data, 4hdd+1spare. Someone did a hard shutdown (power button hold) on the system and the system started to hang on boot after grub - Got a blank screen and have to hit ctrl+d to boot. Looks like the powerdown messed the raid10 array. [23:02] While checking the arrays with "mdstat -D /dev/mdX" i by mistake removed 2 hdds from the raid10 array and added them to the raid1 array [23:03] and tried to mdadm --assemble --scan [23:04] now the mdadm -D reports 2 spare disks on my raid array. I the removed them and stoped the raid10 array which now misses 2 disks. Im afraid i messed it up... [23:04] *now the mdadm -D reports 2 spare disks on my raid1 array. [23:09] I have unbuntu Mate installed but my version is older than the new release... When I installed directly the new release I had issues with my WIFI... I wonder... if i upgrade to the new version, will I keep my ancient wifi drivers or the new release will brake it again? [23:09] DC85, this may help: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_Recovery [23:12] lordcirth im afraid something wrong might have been written to those disks oh my [23:12] DC85, And this is one of the many reasons that "RAID is not backups" :( [23:15] lordcirth the mdadm --examine now tells me that the unwanted drives are part of the wrong array :( [23:15] and i cant add them to the wanted array because i stoped it [23:18] ksft: Can you boot to grub's boot menu ? from there we can try and activate a terminal interface . [23:20] DC85, you could try the linux-raid mailing list mentioned in the article. [23:26] hi all [23:26] can i install a ubuntu version on a dvr? [23:26] Bashing-om: I can [23:26] how do I do that? [23:26] "activate a terminal interface" [23:27] I have grub's boot menu open now [23:27] anyone was using is using ubuntu lite kernel ? [23:29] ubuntu lite kernel ?? [23:29] soee, tell us more about it.. it is not official though. [23:30] http://repo.linuxliteos.com/linuxlite/pool/main/l/lite-kernel/ [23:30] soee, i see, not supported here AFAIK [23:31] im asking because of http://news.softpedia.com/news/linux-lite-s-devs-invite-ubuntu-and-debian-users-to-install-the-latest-kernels-507412.shtml [23:31] Nope, i won't. as i loose support here :-) [23:31] ksft: press the 'e' key for edit mode -> boot option screen. The line starting with linux containing quiet splash. replace quite splash with the term text. key combo ctl+x to continie to TTY1 . Log in here . [23:32] soee, and carefull, latest might not be the best for your system now. [23:32] replace it with what? [23:32] what's "the term text"? [23:33] ksft: one word "text" with out the quotes . [23:33] Bashing-om: okaty [23:33] okay* [23:33] the screen still goes purple [23:36] soee, and what is light about it? our 4.7 kernel = 47 mb, and *your light kernel* 61 mb ... troll-lol-lol [23:37] light is distribution name [23:37] ksft: Only one kernel left installed ? [23:37] Has anyone had any luck with running apt-get upgrade in the cron? [23:37] I'm pretty sure it's a bad idea [23:37] but I've been told to make it happen :/ [23:38] Bashing-om: I think so [23:38] soee, you better look for their irc channel then. inviting people here to use it, is not done. [23:39] ksft: Well we got to boot something . Ya got a liveDVD of 14.04 on hand ? [23:40] mentoc, don't you just need -y ? [23:40] Bashing-om: I don't [23:40] I might have a USB thing...I'll look... [23:41] ksft: A liveUSB of 14.04 will work . [23:41] OerHeks: well im sure all this distro user use it :) i was wondering if any ubuntu is using it and this is best plae to ask [23:41] soee, no we don't. [23:41] ksft: One can also try and boot the OS from grub .. maybe ? [23:42] soee, it is an other distro, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic maybe? [23:42] .. with a huge kernel, lite? [23:43] Bashing-om: how? [23:44] not sure if this is relevant: I also have Windows installed, but it won't connect to the internet [23:44] ksft: We tell grub where the config files are located . see if the system boots . [23:46] okay, how? [23:47] I found a configuration group called Unattended-Upgrades in a few files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d, but I don't see it in the man page for apt.conf [23:47] are they used for the same system? [23:49] anyone install Powershell yet? [23:49] ksft: very slowly and very carefully . boot back to the grub boot menu, this time is the 'c' key for a (C)ommand line interface . ya get a 'grub >' prompt . we need to know where the files are lovated . we start looking by what is returned from the terminal commnad ' ls ' . [23:49] lol [23:49] just use bash [23:50] Bashing-om: (hd0) (hd0,gpt9) (hd0,gpt8) [...] (hd0,gpt1) [23:52] ksft: Once more stone walled by the state of my ignorance. I have no experience booting a GPT partitioned system from grub . This is to be a learning experience for both of us . [23:53] uh-oh [23:54] booting is no difference [23:54] Hello [23:54] you just install the OS on the partition type you like [23:55] any tips on installing msfconsole and armitage [23:57] Bashing-om: so...what do I do now? [23:57] anyone know how to update lxpanel to 0.8.2, its not on repos [23:58] elliot-59, it is available, for xenial 16.04 >> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lxpanel [23:59] ksft: Well . best thing is to hope eric^^ returns . Give us a hand :) . Is this machine also EFI endowed ?
