[00:00] if you think this channel's big, see #python [00:00] cootie, I will be your friend [00:00] Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available.

[00:16] yes c|oneman, open a terminal and try sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog [00:16] then try use the software centre and see if it puts anything out [00:16] tail -f lets you watch the log in real time as it updates [00:19] nothing in the log, just the same error popup as before in the gui === riley is now known as Guest39950 [00:22] hello [00:28] is this on?

I basically accidentally formatted my whole PC and I go directly to the BIOS when I boot up, USB booting doesn't work, something wrong with my bios, and I'm trying to get Windows back, I don't have a copy [00:35] @LARAVELGOD then maybe you can help me out with my server issue [00:35] lol [00:35] ubuntu447, flash your bios and try again [00:35] How do I do that [00:35] Mike2358, what is the server issue ? [00:35] !google how to flash bios [00:35] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [00:36] depends on your motherboard model [00:36] where is the /proc/sys/kernel/softlockup_threshhold ?

[00:46] When I run it with -exec basename {}, it prints a list of the base names of the things it finds, just like I would expect. [00:46] When I run it with -exec echo `basename {}`, it prints the full paths to each thing it finds. [00:46] Why is that? [00:48] Hey [00:48] Flashing the bios doesn't work [00:49] ubuntu680, then it's not a bios issue [00:49] Well it kind of is [00:50] Because I deleted everything [00:50] I lost Windows [00:50] yes but you just reflashed your bios.. and if you have the same issue [00:50] it may not be the bios [00:50] No I didn't ref lash it [00:50] I didn't [00:50] It didn't work to go to the flash menu [00:51] When I pressed start easy flash it said some bs message [00:54] Anyone here know how to use PTPP Authentication against a MySQL databse instead of FreeRadius [00:54] or am I SOL [00:54] Also I know the inherent flaws in PTPP and L2TP over OpenVPN [00:55] I'd prefer to use L2TP with MySQL as the authentication backend [00:55] where is my sounds settings on ubuntu 16.04 ? [00:56] unity-control-center only show me 'language support', 'printers', and 'software & updates' [00:57] So... [00:58] Is there a roadmap for learning linux? I feel what I learn is all over the place. [01:01] Fizero: There are so many things that you can learn, it's hard to have a roadmap. You kind of need to know what it is that you want to learn first. [01:02] Rypervenche the basics first? I want to be able to troubleshoot my issue at least. [01:02] I just tried to update my graphics drivers for nvidia on a fresh install of 16.04 . However upon restarting my computer after the install occurred it said it failed. When I try to go to a tty from the login screen my terminal is flooding with output, any thoughts? Also If I login the comp just says the graphics failed to install [01:05] Fizero: Even that is difficult to day. The basics of what? GUI stuff? Command line? Do you want to be able to use a desktop? Do you want to be able to troubleshoot things from the command line? [01:06] Should I just throw my computer out the window? [01:06] That's the only solution I got atm [01:06] coolbrah33: do you have a hybrid graphics thing? [01:07] Ya I can use my cpu if that's what you mean, should I change it to that in the bios? [01:07] I have no idea. [01:07] And then try and uninstall [01:08] I have a hybrid integrated/dedicated graphics card thing that I've been having trouble with, and I've been preparing to upgrade to 16.04 and hoping it'll help. [01:08] uh oh [01:08] Hey, does anyone have skype or google hangouts? Need some help [01:08] lol you never know with upgrading [01:09] I might go back down to 14 [01:09] ubuntu241: You minht want to start with your issue first.

Do you know what should I do? [01:16] Coolbrah, do you have another form of chat, kik, Skype, etc? I want to send photos of my computer state lol [01:17] ubuntu241: You can paste your images to an image bin, like imgur.com. [01:18] hi all - I just installed server edition and installed E17 with lxdm - it's still botting int tty1 - wondering what I need to do to get GUI [01:19] Anyone here have a suggestion for a DNS server? [01:33] I just reinstalled 14.04 [01:35] coolbrah33, and then, problems ? [01:36] Oh no^ sorry I should have said @ubuntu241: I was just letting him know [01:38] Hi, I'm a nube. I apologize for that. I'm looking for help with a microphone. [01:39] I somehow messed up my Lubuntu install. It's fresh, just installed yesterday. I had set up awesomewm and think I messed up something. [01:40] When I reboot or turn it on it gets stuck at the login screen background with no login box or other UI. No mouse. [01:40] I've managed to reboot into recovery and got root access but I don't know how to repair. [01:49] i need to get another laptop now === CompuDesktop is now known as Compu [01:56] Anyone? === JanC is now known as Guest98943 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [02:02] I cannot get hdmi audio out to work [02:02] My user has been added to audio, pulseaudio, pulse, etc [02:02] I see video on the screen, I'm selecting hdmi as audio output sink, but it won't STICK [02:07] why is lubuntu so slow [02:07] it worked great for the first 48 hours [02:07] now its slow as balls [02:07] i want something like this, can i dual boot this easily? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=1TS-000D-003Z8 [02:07] Obadiah1: you installed stuff [02:07] Obadiah1: you left firefox running, etc. [02:08] it's probably slow because your hardware is old [02:08] probably [02:08] cpu sux [02:08] effectnet: most likely [02:08] new computers are real cheap [02:09] oh any good deals? [02:09] effectnet: internet says people are using Ubuntu on that computer [02:09] effectnet: the best deals are usually in local retailers, really [02:09] you can get a decent laptop for $100-200 these days [02:10] something akin to an ultrabook, even [02:10] exit [02:10] I have a chromebook that I put ordinary GNU/Linux on, it's an ultrabook, and was $140, that was more than a year ago [02:10] can i install ubuntu on a laptop that has windiows 10 [02:10] if you can change the OS at all, yes [02:11] okay. engage mach 1 warp speed. thanks [02:11] which will usually be the case for x86/64 hardware [02:12] now my puter is fine [02:12] running smooth === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [02:17] Is there a way to add arguments to the end of the command with xargs? [02:17] or to use the argument more than once [02:17] ksft: Just add the arguments after the command. [02:18] no, to add arguments to the end [02:18] This is getting rather old :| my mouse cursor has vanished and won't re-appear after restarting like it usually does [02:18] like after the argument in the list xargs gets [02:18] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xargs#Shell_trick [02:18] I usually just use an sh loop instead of xargs [02:18] it's "dumber", but more reliable [02:18] | while IFS='' read -r line; do foo "$line" bar; done [02:18] how do you do that? [02:19] I don't know bash very well [02:19] now you do [02:20] but I have no idea what that does [02:20] for i in {1..3}; do echo "$i"; done | while IFS='' read -r line; do bc <<< "$line"+1; done [02:20] what's "IFS"? [02:20] it does the bit between 'do' and '; done' for each line of stdin [02:20] internal field separator [02:20] aka delimiter [02:20] it's... just an unfortunate requirement [02:21] huh? [02:21] oh well, who needs a mouse anyways I guess [02:21] technically it will work without that bit, but only for so many things :p [02:22] I don't understand [02:22] well man bash has all the answers [02:22] it's very reliable, though [02:23] more reliable than xargs, IME [02:24] Well "gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.cursor active false" makes the cursor appear again but it still won't move [02:24] I use Python Console in Pycharm, I enter __name__ and it shows 'builtins'. why? [02:25] Because __name__ is a Python builtin [02:25] but in Terminal it will give me a '__main__' [02:26] I have sixteen directories in another directory. Each one has a subdirectory with the same name as the other subdirectories. [02:26] out of Pycharm [02:26] I want to copy all those subdirectories to another location, named based on the name of its parent directory. [02:26] I can't figure out how to automate that with bash. [02:26] It seems like it shouldn't be this hard. [02:26] ksft: it isn't [02:27] how do I do it? [02:27] ksft: so you want have directory/foo/bar, and you want otherdir/foo with the contents of foo/bar ? [02:27] so you have* === lethu_ is now known as lethu [02:28] I have foo/1/bar, foo/2/bar, etc. [02:29] I want to copy them to baz/1/, baz/2/, etc. [02:29] the names of the directories I gave as numbers don't follow a pattern that simple [02:29] foo contains no other directories [02:29] ksft: hrmm? [02:30] reisio: Was that confusing? [02:30] sounded like you said you have foo with dir 1, 2, etc., but that they weren't dirs :p [02:30] oh I see what you were saying [02:30] all the dirs in foo are the dirs in question [02:31] sorta [02:31] each dir in foo has a subdirectory called bar that I want to copy [02:31] the dirs in foo have other subdirectories that I don't care about [02:32] ksft: so always exactly 'bar' [02:32] yes [02:32] ksft: if you run "find ./foo/ -type d -name 'bar'", does it find any dirs that you _are NOT_ interested in? [02:33] reisio: no [02:35] I had my 14.04 to 16.04.01 upgrade crash. I have no X support but can SSH in. I need help fixing my system back to a stable state. When I ssh in ut shows it;s on 16.04.1 [02:40] ksft: here's a nice awful way: mkdir baz; find ./foo/ -type d -name 'bar' | sort | while IFS='' read -r line; do rsync -av "$line"/ "$(echo "$line" | perl -pe 's@^\./foo/([^\/]+)/.*@\./baz/\1@g')"/; done [02:41] maybe I'll just use Python [02:42] heh [02:42] wish file moving stuff was easier with it [02:45] I wish there was a language specifically for interacting with and moving fil-- [02:45] oh === twwwater is now known as tww [02:45] ksft: sh :p [02:45] yeah [02:47] this'd work, too, it's just less flexible, really: mkdir baz; find ./foo/ -type d -name 'bar' | sort | while IFS='' read -r line; do rsync -av "$line"/ ./baz/"$(echo "$line" | cut -d '/' -f 3 )"/; done [02:47] easier to read, though [03:02] is there a way to install ubuntu in such a way that all nonfree software, firmware and kernels are removed or replaced with free versions? [03:04] this might not be the right place to ask, but what file system can i put on an external drive that supports files larger than 8GB and supports linux, mac os x and windows? [03:05] cores: NTFS or exFAT [03:05] cores: nothing good [03:05] that, too [03:05] you'll be limited with permissions and ownership [03:06] exFAT is more suited for flash storage, but is more of a unicorn than TNFS [03:06] NTFS, eben [03:08] extfat doesn't work on lesser versions of os x [03:08] parted -a optimal -s /dev/foo mklabel gpt; parted -a optimal -s /dev/foo mkpart primary 0% 100%; mkfs.exfat /dev/foo1; exfatlabel /dev/foo1 TEHFATNESS [03:09] hmm [03:09] dammit - virtual box is not playing friendly for me [03:09] exfat might have the least amount of compromises, so i might hvae to use that [03:09] thanks [03:09] there are other alternatives....I duplicate the stuff I want o share using spideroak [03:10] basically just documents [03:10] 6 years of support on macOS [03:10] music I just setup a server that can serve to Windows in the 0.01% of the time that I'm in Windows [03:11] 16.04 system I recovered from a upgrade crash bow /usr/sbin/unity-greeter is experiencing internal errors. Need help fixing [03:12] cores: for long term usage you can use anything, really; but for random computers you'd want one of those two [03:14] do you need a modern processor to run a VM of Ubuntu 16.04 within a *buntu based distro?

[03:21] reisio: not sure what vt-x or amd-v is [03:21] jmadero: just a thing: egrep -i 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo [03:21] empty [03:21] k [03:23] wildmanron1: make sure the sleep state specified in the bios and that specified in the power manager config match [03:23] wildmanron1: if that doesn't work, try suspend instead of hibernate, or hibernate instead of suspend [03:24] these are unfortunate vague names and sometimes only one works [03:26] i never had this problem till i let the system upgrade to the new 16.04 lts that didnt work so well on the system it was on had the same problem so I just formated the drive and reinstalled 14.04 lts now the system gose to sleep and when i touch the mouse or keyboard it wont wake up and it use to before i upgraded to 16.04 lts it was 14.04 lts with no problems so I dont know what changed or happend to the system [03:27] wildmanron1: when you install 14.04 did you use same home folder or was an entirely a new install? [03:28] i think i have issues with unity-control-center. new ubuntu install (16.04) and i don't see all the icons for managing my laptop in unity-control-center. googling gave me this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/466720/system-settings-icons-missing-in-14-04 which suggest to reinstall unity-control-center. that sounds wierd since i already have this installed. any ideas? [03:28] reinstall it....it won't hurt anything [03:28] was a new install cause the 16.04 wouldnt come out of sleep state eather so i went and formated the drive and reinstalled [03:29] jmadero: ok. jmadero do i need to purge it first? [03:29] owen1: no [03:29] sudo apt-get install unity-control-center ?

[04:59] I seem to keep running across a problem in my new Ubuntu install on my laptop. When I close and reopen my lid, sometimes LightDM comes up with a lock screen that only asks for a password. No user. Anyone ever encounter this issue? [04:59] is there a way to tell if gnome settings daemon is not running? [05:00] It's weird as hell. Locking it with the lock command makes it happen. If I close the lid without even locking it doesn't lock. [05:00] hi. can someone help me choose the right options here? https://i.imgur.com/J7JA7Zm.png [05:01] chestnutpie: Literally google how to do it. It's the easiest thing. [05:02] i'm asking here now. [05:02] chestnutpie: Next to "ISO Image" click the disk button. It'll open up a file browser asking you for the input file. Find xubuntu and load it [05:02] Next it should be self explanatory [05:03] well, it isn't. [05:03] mind helping me? [05:03] Yeah, read what I put above [05:03] file system? cluster size? [05:03] I'd leave it with the default [05:03] Click the CD drive icon next to the iso image [05:04] Load your ISO, hit Start, and wait [05:04] fat32 and 16 kilobytes is default. [05:04] okay then. [05:04] I'm not sure if ntfs or fat32 matters. If there's any problems it'll notify you [05:05] seems to be fine, for now. [05:05] after that's done you'll have a bootable iso! [05:06] neat. thanks for the help (minus the google recommendation). [05:06] No problem! I always recommend googling stuff because you can find majority of stuff on there! [05:07] If it's your first time using linux/ubuntu, you might wanna get use to doing it [05:07] i'd use duckduckgo, but yeah. [05:07] still can't figure out this damn lock problem [05:07] chestnutpie: To each their own. [05:07] rexy [05:07] i am on solaris now [05:08] it's done now with a green bar, but it didn't give me any 'done' indication. it just sits there telling me 'ready'. [05:08] i guess it worked and i can close it now? [05:08] Yep that's all there is to it [05:09] some 'successful' message would've been nice. [05:09] or any message at all, really. [05:09] so i had an NFS mount on my laptop and the power went out and the server went down but the laptop did not. now i can't unmount the drive to correct the issue. can anyone help me? [05:09] chestnutpie: I didn't write it, I've only used it [05:10] i'm still keeping you responsible. [05:10] just kidding. [05:10] chestnutpie: Hopefully Xubuntu goes smoothly for you :) [05:10] Okay. My patience has been pressed too far at this point. Can anyone provide any ideas why Ubuntu is suddenly not letting me use my laptops touchpad at all? After booting, I can see it briefly, then it vanishes and doesn't respond at all. I've tried reloading the mouse module, restarting lightdm, switching tty's [05:10] it's for a family member, rexy. [05:11] -xinput -list and find the touchpad [05:11] then -xinput -list-props [device ID] [05:11] tell me what Device Enabled says [05:11] hi [05:12] On 16.04 how do I restart dnsmasq? [05:12] All I have listed is "Virtual core XTEST pointer" and "E-Signal Keyboard" [05:13] (Which is enabled) [05:13] there is no touchpad listed under input devices? [05:13] Apparently not.

[07:53] im reading reviews at the intel site and there seems to be bios problems . Im not sure if that affects only windows os or is a general problem [08:02] hi [08:03] hi [08:03] are messages from user "halpme" readable for you? [08:03] yes [08:04] oh [08:04] halpme: I have ubuntu mate on a NUC [08:04] netvixtra: bios problems with it? [08:04] No [08:04] how long have you had the unit running? [08:05] For a month ish [08:05] just bought it === teemo is now known as rory [08:07] .... Im thinking about getting a nuc for xubuntu 16.04. Intended use: editing papers for college, virtualizations, watching movies and editing video, as well as RAW pictures (32 MB per picture)... Im not sure if I need a NUC Kit NUC6i7KYK (newest skylake) or a NUC6i5SYH (thats iCore 5 instead of 6) [08:08] halpme: it's kind of slower running ubuntu [08:08] slower than a windows OS you mean? netvixtra ? [08:08] yes [08:08] it needs tweaking for getting Netflix 4K running smooth etc [08:09] I dont use windows since 6 years, so I cannot tell... That tweaking you mean, is it something a total noob like me can do? [08:09] Obviously, I bought it for tv use [08:09] I just want a powerful computer to last for the next 10 years [08:10] custom build one? [08:10] Also I had some overscan issues, but solved it [08:10] yeah, probably should go mini-itx if you want future proofing [08:10] if my cmputer was 10 years old i would be running a dx2 with 256mb ram... [08:11] cfhowlett: Im doing it, aint I? I have to choose 2 ram modules plus a ssd... [08:11] Hounddog: precisely the point why I want it to be expandable [08:12] its more than just memory and a ssd, halpme [08:12] the core, thats why Im aiming for the newest one [08:12] c|oneman is pointing you in the right direction if you want a small form factor [08:16] ... 2 GiB RAM wont take me anywhere...

Using the phone as a modem via USB works fine, but that means the phone wants to provide internet, I want it to work the other way around it must get network access via USB. === eviladmin is now known as evilop [08:29] NeoFrontier, pc suite? that a linux app? [08:29] NeoFrontier: There is a software called 'gnoki' that may allow you to sync contacts and sms and so on... http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gnokii [08:29] pc suite mode [08:30] NeoFrontier: http://gnokii.org/ [08:31] I have used gnokki before, you think it can get my Old nokia to get network access somehow ? [08:35] NeoFrontier: I do not know that. MY only Nokia Phone I had was (still is) a Nokia N9, And I can sync with the evolution data server... But that phone is based on Meego (Linux). [08:36] NeoFrontier: First maybe try to connect via bluetooth... [08:37] It seems the Nokia C5 does not recognize the bluetooth tethering service on my Android phone :\ [08:38] @ minimec [08:38] NeoFrontier: Maybe have a look here (post is rather old) https://tareqalam.com/2008/07/11/connect-your-nokia-phone-with-linux-without-pc-suite/ [08:40] U thanks but that post is about using it as a modem. === croppa_ is now known as croppa === croppa is now known as Guest25517 === Guest25517 is now known as croppa [08:44] Hello, particle cli installation failed in my latest Ubuntu system because of serialport package.

[09:24] Sqwonk: or even a different sata cable [09:24] Sqwonk: are these HDDs or SSDs? [09:25] hateball ~ it is a laptop. i will search on how to try and change channl. it should be a combo hdd/ssd [09:25] Sqwonk: Oh. [09:25] Sqwonk: are you sure the hdd is technically fine? [09:25] jser: 。。。。。 [09:26] Sqwonk: Do you have access to another machine where you could plug in the drives and check them with smartctl ? [09:26] k11i tried another drive. i can try a third if need be. [09:26] there is no chance this is a ram error? right? [09:26] Sqwonk: By channel I meant a physical port, and you wont be changing that in a laptop [09:26] hateball ~ yes if i power down this one :> === jatt is now known as Guest84309 [09:27] i am very appreciative of all your informational assistance. i shall try the hdd ssdon this machine and see where i end up. [09:28] hello... sorry if this is OT. when ripping a dvd...which is more faster, ripping jt directly from dvd or copying the content first to the HDD? [09:29] Geom: the former obviously === ssaturos is now known as saturos [09:30] I asume by "ripping" you mean "reencode" [09:30] thanks evilop. i mean, dvd to mp4¿ [09:30] ? [09:31] JOIN [09:32] mp4 is just a container, it can contain pretty much anything [09:32] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_14 [09:33] so "encode" is the correct term for it rather than rip? [09:33] a dvd may already contain a mpeg4 encoded video/audio stream, or it might be mpeg2 or similar [09:34] (asuming it is some video dvd you are talking about) [09:34] yeah, a video dvd [09:35] ripping == just copying the data pretty much 1:1 from the dvd [09:36] reencoding == taking the data and converting it into some other format [09:36] cool! thanks for the info :) === ssaturos is now known as saturos [09:52] hi [09:52] can anyone help me with these error messages? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23077816/ [09:52] what do they mean? [09:52] I am new to xchat. Are there many channels under #ubuntu? === tvoss is now known as tvoss|lunch [09:53] al_926x: go and talk to the hardware maker [09:53] al_926x: or whoever sold it to you [09:53] samwongms: 1. you should use hexchat not xchat 2. /query alis list *buntu* [09:54] thanks [09:54] samwongms: 3. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [09:54] evilop: that was not my question. my question was what these errors mean. if you don't have an answer, why respond at all? [09:54] al_926x: they can mean one of several things, the ones who made the hardware can help you with determining which === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [09:55] al_926x: since they know the exact meaning of the status and error code [09:55] ./query alis list *ubuntu* [09:55] evilop: are these related to my hard drive? does it say my hard drive is faulty? [09:55] al_926x: possibly [09:56] evilop: would zeroing it out help? [09:56] al_926x: no [09:56] bad drive, bad cable, bad controller, bad driver, bad power [09:56] you could try to smartctl it, but it is somewhat unlikely to sucseed [09:56] try replacing as many of those as you can until it starts working [09:56] evilop: could it be kernel bug? [09:56] since it is getting reset constantly [09:56] evilop: a kernel bug* [09:56] al_926x: unlikely, but as I said, contact the hardware maker [09:57] al_926x: see what Ben64 said, that it may also be a power issue, not a hard drive issue. And it can also be a kernel issue, yes. [09:57] It might help if you tell us more info about it [09:57] it is highly unlikely to be a kernel bug [09:57] evilop: I've seen such messages related to kernel bugs in my own i5 [09:57] usually don't get hard resets from that [09:57] And solved with newer/older kernels [09:58] It's unusual, e.g. 2% of the cases, but not impossible [09:58] It's usually a malfunction of the hard drive [09:58] is this dangerous? possible to lose data? [09:58] yes very possible [09:59] Yes [09:59] Does ubuntu comes with dns cache configured ? [09:59] can anybody suggest an app for monitoring multiple server ftp, httpd, ssh, mail etc [10:00] possibly something that would alert me on this laptop if anything is down === ssaturos is now known as saturos [10:00] Netek: nagios [10:00] Netek: there are tons of motitoring tools, nagios, icinga, xymon etc [10:01] ok, thanks evilop and ducasse.

[10:59] didn't icecat die? [10:59] it did? [11:00] evilop: [11:00] anyway if it uses gstreamer then you can probably install all the evil plugins [11:00] let me see [11:01] unless they are doing explicit blacklisting in icecat, which would be no suprice if they do [11:01] hmm aparently you can explicitly build icecat against gst 1.x [11:01] I did set media.gmp-gmpopenh264.enabled to true so i thought it would work [11:01] okay [11:02] no idea if ubuntu does build it against 1.x, if it does then install the bad and ugly gst plugins === ssaturos is now known as saturos [11:03] i ran into some "too many open files" errors w/ nginx over the weekend. would setting this value higher have any negative effects? or is it just a low default? [11:03] when i say value i mean ulimit, etc [11:04] chrisml: find out why it is opening 20k files all at once [11:04] evilop a lot of traffic [11:04] then it is time to start caching [11:05] yeah with varnish, but i don't think i need that yet, when i google "too many open files" it says raise the ulimit, the nginx process has max open files set to 4096 [11:06] even if i used varnish, it would hit nginx first anyway, and cause this error, iirc [11:06] hi #ubuntu community [11:08] not being optimum (i know, i know...) are there any major drawbacks when installing a x32 bits .iso in a x64 architecture ? :-/ [11:08] jla: lots, don't do it [11:08] can you extend ? [11:08] (also x32 isn't what you think it is) [11:09] i need arguments... thanks [11:09] jla: ram limits, less optimised packages, less registers [11:09] ah [11:09] i see... [11:09] crystal clear now evilop [11:09] x32https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI not what you think it is [11:09] er.. [11:09] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI [11:10] * evilop dislikes the misuse of "x32" and "x64" [11:11] * jla dislikes answers (just) " don't do it.." , like [11:12] fun fact: the linux kernel doesn't even run on i386 anymore, but distroes still keep shipping i386 packages [11:13] evilop: it doesn't? since when? [11:13] unless, you literally mean i386 (x86_386) [11:13] Howdy all [11:16] blackflow: a few years ago [11:17] blackflow: 2012 actually [11:17] evilop: so you literally mean 80386 [11:17] yes [11:17] make sense. [11:17] so there is no reason to build for i386 anymore [11:17] I hate that misnomer, i386 used to mean IA-32 [11:17] hi [11:18] evilop: but still plenty of reason to build for IA-32, say i586 or i686 [11:18] i586 should be the minimum, but realisticly i686 covers 99.9% of use cases [11:18] is any distro really building 32-bit binaries to be 80386 compatible, today? I doubt that === llorephie1 is now known as llorephie [11:19] even more fun when people make "i386" packages that are actually i686 + sse2 etc [11:19] distros and projects started to abandon 32bit builds. ubuntu links to the 64bit isos as standard on ubuntu.com since some time. and 32bit isos will be deprecated in future too. [11:19] Hey, on my ssd i have ubuntu and and windows on different partitions. How do I delete windows partition and merge it with linux? [11:19] yeah, the only place where 32-bit will make sense is embedded and arm [11:20] x32 makes 32bit builds much less attractive [11:20] Nicholas3214314: depends on where it is located and what fs is used [11:21] Nicholas3214314: lsblk -f [11:21] evilop: http://pastebin.com/QRpvcfj2 [11:22] Nicholas3214314: start a live usb with ubuntu. use gparted. delete the partitions with windows, resize the ubuntu partitions to use the unallocated space [11:22] i have gparted open [11:22] i cant do it from ubuntu? i have to do live? [11:23] Nicholas3214314: yes. you cant change the partitions the OS is using right now [11:23] ok i will download ubuntu live [11:23] k1l_: uh, what? the ntfs partitions are at the beginning of drive, how do you expand sdc5 to take space of sdc1? [11:24] blackflow: Nicholas3214314 actually you will have to pull the unallocated space into the extended parititon first on that setup [11:24] how? [11:24] Nicholas3214314: please use a sane pastebin like ptpb, bpaste, gist [11:24] blackflow: how? [11:24] * evilop can't open pastebin.co [11:24] com* [11:25] blackflow: using gparted? [11:25] evilop: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e94db50d036ef799a2dacbbd2d5bd716 [11:25] k1l_: gimme an example command to do that [11:25] Nicholas3214314: just delete the windows partitions, make a new one, mkfs it and then mount it to /home//stuff [11:25] blackflow: gparted got a gui. its very easy to do with that. [11:25] easiest way to do it [11:26] no gparted nor livecd needed [11:26] k1l_: no it's not, you can't expand partitions at the END of the drive to take space from a partition from the BEGINNING of the drive [11:26] blackflow: of course you can. [11:26] you can move the partition but that is not a safe operation [11:27] you can't even do taht. you can copy data from sda6 to sda1, then delete sda2,5,6 and expand sda1 to take whole space [11:27] you _cannot_ expand sda6 to take space from sda1. [11:27] you can move [11:28] if you had LVM then it's easy to add sda1 as a pv [11:28] but there's no lvm here [11:28] anyway, easiest is just to fdisk/mkfs and then add the volume somewhere in your fs [11:29] it is safe and fast, and gives you seperation of user-data which is a good thing [11:30] evilop: Im not sure how to do it, also im afraid my boot will not work [11:30] since sdc1 has boot flag, which is the windows drive [11:30] bonjour cmt rejoindre ubuntu fr ?

[11:30] Nicholas3214314: ubuntu doesnt use the boot flag [11:31] Hello, i need help [11:31] Ill just do the ubuntu live thing, i need to expand my swap also so maybe its better that way [11:32] make sure you have good backups [11:32] blackflow: u dont think its a good idea? [11:32] Nicholas3214314: I don't think it's a good idea to touch anything without proper backups. [11:33] blackflow: i have backups, but I just want the windows partition gone and add swap, what i should i do then [11:33] Nicholas3214314: boot flag doesn't matter if you have grub installed to mbr [11:34] Im having a vps but the root password is not right, i try to use rescue mode, now my rootfs at /dev/sdb1 , how to enter it and change the root password in order to boot again into normal mode? === daniel is now known as Guest73140 [11:35] blackflow: i just tested my advice in a vbox. can you please prove your advice that this doesnt work properly=? [11:35] Nicholas3214314: you can try moving sda6 to the beginning, like evilop suggested, there are tutorials on the net, like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/557751/gparted-move-extended-partition-on-the-left [11:36] I have gparted open, can I just unallocate the windows drives [11:36] sry dc [11:37] k1l_: the only thing you did was moved partitions around. you cannot expand without moving [11:37] if you just want swap then just change the partition type and then mkswap it? [11:37] blackflow: sorry. but your are confusing users in here and telling things dont work besides they clearly do work. [11:39] k1l_: no, I'm just using proper terminology. because when you move partitions like that, suddenly sdc5 is no longer sdc5 which means more problems unless you know what you're doing, eg. using uuids for mounts etc.. [11:40] boot [11:42] blackflow: that is not right. [11:43] blackflow: http://imgur.com/a/hUpHU [11:43] partitions in a extended partition do start at 5 everytime [11:45] k1l_: alright im here now i === qwebirc957752 is now known as Nicholaslive [11:45] k1l_: i have gparted open, so just delete sdc1sdc2_ [11:45] ? [11:46] Nicholaslive: yes. then resize the extended partition to use all that unallocated space in front. then resize the sda5 and sda6 to your needs [11:47] I'm looking to setup a nfs client for version 3? [11:47] k1l_: i unallocated the, but how do i resize extended sdc3 _ [11:47] ? [11:47] resizing is gray [11:48] That's not a question. I found a tutorial for v4. Is there information available for setting up v3 clients? [11:48] k1l_: im able to resize sdc6 though [11:48] 'mount -t nfs -onfsvers=3 192.168.216.11:/exports/home /home' gets 'rpc.statd is not running but is required for remote locking.' [11:48] Nicholaslive: is any partition mounted there? sometimes swap gets mounted on live-cd. so see if you need to unmoount that [11:48] obviously I want to have lock for home [11:50] k1l_: sec [11:50] oh and stackexchange suggests starting statd, which is apparently part of nfs-common, except it's not so 'service statd start' doesn't work [11:51] k1l_: https://s10.postimg.org/sxm4wqubt/Screenshot_from_2016_08_22_11_48_44.png [11:52] it looks like that [11:52] so should I just extend resize ext4? [11:52] Nicholaslive: right click on swap, then see if there is "unmount" [11:52] hi everybody, can i have some help please, i am using ubuntu 16.04 64bit, after installing virtualbox when i start the guest os it says "kernel driver not installed" [11:52] Gochaian: do you have dkms installed [11:52] k1l_: i dont see any unmount [11:53] hateball, yes i have [11:53] Nicholaslive: look at the extended, too [11:53] k1l_: maybe swapoff_ [11:53] ? [11:53] swap is 'swapoff' [11:53] Nicholaslive: yes [11:53] yea i swapoff now I can resize whole parition [11:53] sdc3 [11:54] k1l_: Now i resized sdc3 to whole space and have 370gig unallocated inside sdc3 [11:54] Gochaian: did you install virtualbox from repos or elsehwere? [11:54] Nicholaslive: now resize/move the partitions inside the extended to your needs [11:56] Gochaian: if from repos, check that you have virtualbox-dkms installed also [11:57] hateball, virtualbox-dkms already installed and is set to manually installed [11:58] Gochaian: you could try removing it and reinstalling it I suppose [11:58] Gochaian: or run "sudo dkms autoinstall" and see if it builds the modules [11:58] msg NickServ identify new2day [11:58] ooops lol sorry guys [11:59] nexusguy59: probably want to change your password if that was yours [11:59] sudo dkms autoinstall does not return anything [12:00] I did already [12:00] I did hateball yeah that was a dumb mistake lol [12:01] k1l_: now it looks like this: https://s9.postimg.org/t4kd92873/Screenshot_from_2016_08_22_11_58_58.png [12:01] Had that password forever lol [12:01] k1l_: i didnt find an option to encrypt new partition#2 though [12:01] k1l_: is this okay? [12:02] Nicholaslive: i thought you want to rezise your used partitions only [12:02] and not create new one. [12:02] hateball, thanks for lookin out for me though [12:02] k1l_: So I delete new partition #2 and just extend sdc5? [12:03] After updating .bashrc, is there a way to refresh the terminal other than exiting a logging back in? [12:03] Nicholaslive: yes [12:03] k1l_: I just want to get rid of windows partition increase swap [12:04] Nicholaslive: and why did you not increase swap instead of making a new one? [12:04] k1l_: ill go back and do that [12:05] Nicholaslive: if you delete a partition and create a new one rather than resize it will get a new UUID, so you have to update /etc/fstab to reflect this [12:05] Gochaian, This usually happens when your kernal is old. Did you perform a dist-upgrade before installing virtualbox? [12:05] Hello, is there a way to install Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.0 on 16.04.1 [12:06] hateball: alright [12:06] Gochaian, If so, purge the virtualbox install, autoremove, autoclean, update, dist-upgrade and try again. === simong is now known as sfgreenwood === sfgreenwood is now known as simong [12:08] k1l_: I can increase swap, but I cant increase sdc6 size without first creating a new partition [12:09] MacroMan i will try [12:09] k1l_: actually i cant increase sdc6 without first deleting swap [12:09] k1l_: what should I do then... [12:11] Nicholaslive: enlarge the extended partition first to use the whole disk. thenmove the swap to the beginning and increas it to your needs. then move sdc6 to use the rest [12:11] k1l_: https://s4.postimg.org/yq4vkwq6l/Screenshot_from_2016_08_22_12_10_11.png [12:12] k1l_: how do I move swap to beginning_ [12:12] ? [12:12] MacroMan, how does autoremove and autoclean working? [12:12] without deleting it [12:12] where can I find 'statd'? [12:12] !help statd [12:13] Nicholaslive: right click on it and see what it offers. if there is a move/resive option [12:13] Gochaian, `sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean` [12:13] k1l_: ah yes you can move it from there, okay ill increase swap now and then sdc6, thanks [12:14] This will remove uneeded packages that may cause problems and autoclean removes the .deb downloads that are no longer needed. [12:15] MacroMan, do i need a reboot? cuz i am remotely connected to the pc [12:15] k1l_: https://s13.postimg.org/nrtopdyuf/Screenshot_from_2016_08_22_12_14_30.png [12:15] is this good now? [12:15] so I tried to put Arch on a USB stick, and I did some strange thing, now it's impossible to format the stick [12:16] Gochaian, So a full command to do everything `sudo apt-get purge virtualbox* && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install virtualbox` [12:16] Gochaian, And no, you shouldn't need to restart. [12:16] Nicholaslive: that looks good [12:17] okay so i just accept and boot [12:17] Nicholaslive: be aware it will take a good amount of time to complete the move [12:17] Nicholaslive: as it will relocate all the data to the new sectors [12:17] yeah np, thanks guys [12:17] Nicholaslive: is it an hdd or ssd? [12:17] ssd 850 samsung pro [12:17] should not take too long [12:18] yeah, certainly better than on an HDD :D [12:18] yeah >D was formatting old 1tb hdd with zeros, it took 2hours geez [12:18] dont turn it off before it completes tho or you're smoked [12:18] how can I mount a USB disk? [12:18] yeah [12:22] the disk type is Hidden HPFS/NTFS [12:22] Hola esto solo es una prueba, disculpad por las molestias === ssaturos is now known as saturos [12:27] hateball: it finished now, can i just boot freely or do I need to fix my boot too with grub/ [12:27] Nicholaslive: well it depends how things were set up prior :) [12:28] hateball: i had dual boot before [12:28] ubuntu/win [12:28] worth a try. [12:28] now i deleted the windows partition [12:28] MacroMan, it didn't worked but the system wants a reboot so i will try it a few hours later when i go back home [12:28] okay [12:28] Nicholaslive: you still have /boot on the same partition tho, and if you used MBR that should still work [12:28] if there is an issue boot to livecd again [12:28] Nicholaslive: otherwise you can return to liveboot ^ [12:28] alright thanks guys [12:32] I'm tryin to download an unbuntu iso image from the website, but am looking to install it on a core 2 duo, which is 64bits bot not from amd. But the 64 bits versions are labeled amd64 which does not really seem to fit my proc. [12:32] amd64 is the 64bit version [12:32] Ben, alright, thanks for confirming. the amd in the name does not mean it is specifically targertting amd architectures? [12:33] that is so confusing [12:33] amd64 "won" the 64bit platform, so it's called amd64 [12:33] same way 32bit says i386 or i686 or whatever, you don't need one of those to run it [12:34] Ben64, exactly I could find any reason behind those names [12:34] Ben64, anyway thanks for letting me know [12:37] there is some problem with intel graphic driver and nodm? [12:38] Hum, download speed is not going above 200Ko/s [12:38] im trying to make a kiosk environment [12:38] but when i install xserver-xorg-video-intel [12:38] nodm cant start [12:40] hi, I'm having a weird issue with browsers : I can't post files on some websites. A colleague has the same Ubuntu version with same firefox and no problem on that website. I tried different versions of firefox, restarted profile, failsafe mode etc, tried with chrome instead...Still the same problem [12:40] I really have no idea what could cause that, maybe a different dependency ? [12:43] The default mirror selected to download from my location was capped to 200Ko/s [12:43] Lame [12:43] Luckily there was other mirrors accessible [12:45] <_kill9> ++ === precise|snek is now known as precise|worksnek [12:53] hi .. in which channel do I ask help to identify a kernel bug that appeared in a server running ubuntu ? [12:53] here [12:54] can anyone help me understand what caused this kernel bug ? http://pastebin.com/MPza7mbJ [12:55] wrksx, It's most well known as x86-64, but is also known as x64, x86_64 and AMD64. Personally I think x64 is the least confusing, but that's not what most people use. [12:55] Hi, I cannot connect to my school's guest network. It's using a captive portal that won't display. I'm connected right now via my phone. Can someone help me connect using a captive portal? === beralt is now known as lithium === lithium is now known as lithiumds [12:56] admin0: doesnt matter since the vivid (15.04) kernels and OS are end of live anyway. please update to the xenial lts stack at least [12:56] MacroMan, Yeah I noticed there is some confusion on those things, I even seen x86 opposed to x64 in some sofware I believe. But first time I see this called amd64, or maybe first time I need to install on something else than an amd core [12:57] anyone? [12:57] So maybe I just didn't thought about it like, it's amd, it's 64, just what I need YAY [12:57] wrksx, And to make matters worse, x86 is 32 bit === _ is now known as Guest24626 [12:58] that's what I meant, I've seen x86 for 32bits support and x64 for 64 bit support. [12:58] hej [12:58] puzzling [12:58] wrksx: the 64bit patent is from amd. so its called amd64 on the linux kernel [12:58] k1l_: but does that error says anything ? apart from “you need to upgrade to the latest" [12:59] admin0: honestly that doesnt matter. since no one will invest any effort in fixing it if its not happening in a supported jernel [12:59] k1l_, Not so. Intel hold the patent but it's licensed for use by AMD [12:59] exactly, all i want to know is that its also not happening in the “latest kernel" [13:00] can anyone help me connect to a wifi network that uses a captive portal? I can connect to the wifi and receive an IP address from the AP but no captive portal comes up either automatically or when I try to access a website. === MacroMan is now known as MacroMan_away [13:00] captive portal ? [13:00] yes [13:01] perhaps you expalin what you mean [13:01] do you know what a captive portal is? [13:01] MacroMan_away: you are wrong. the 64bit instruction was invented by amd [13:02] k1l_, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Licensing_issues [13:03] MacroMan_away: read carefully. amd extended the x86 instructions to 64bit. the x86 is from intel. but intel didnt have any 64bit stuff. [13:04] where do I see what is the latest stable kernel is in ubuntu ? [13:04] k1l_, Ah. You're right. Mis-read it. [13:04] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds — there ? [13:04] admin0: on 14.04 you can have the original 3.13 or the 4.4 kernel that is the lts backport from 16.04 [13:04] !hwe | admin0 [13:04] admin0: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [13:05] can anyone help me connect to a wifi network that uses a captive portal for access? I can connect to the wifi and receive an IP address from the AP but no captive portal screen comes up either automatically or when I try to access a website [13:06] Are you using static DNS servers? [13:06] when i set a swapfile in fstab, but the swapfile isn't mounted (i put it as a usb drive) i get an error which halts boot. this is despite butting nobootwait in the option [13:06] how to i skip the error message to ensure the boot continues? [13:08] seednode: I don't know [13:08] all I know is that it won't connect [13:09] bumblefuzz, do you have the url for captive portal saved anywhere so you can paste it into your browser , or am I on the wrong track here? [13:09] I don't have it saved, no [13:09] telboon: does adding "noauto" work in that case? [13:09] but that's a good idea [13:09] bumblefuzz, check default gateway, open in browser [13:09] Sometimes works [13:10] seednode: how do I do that? [13:10] i.e. on McDonald's public wifi with captive portal [13:10] bumblefuzz, also browser history [13:10] try ip route | grep default via [13:10] akik: let me try. thanks for that. i'll update it in a bit [13:10] should say i.e. "default via 192.168.20.1" [13:10] seednode: No such file or directory [13:11] bumblefuzz: Surround default via with quotes. [13:11] oh, right [13:11] sorry about that [13:11] ok, well I'm on my phone right now so, brb [13:12] so i need to upgrade to version 4.4 and that will be supported for the next 5 years ( and we can also file bugs and get help on understanding ) [13:12] akik: wow. it works! thanks so much! :) [13:13] because we are running 3.19, its EOL so no help [13:13] admin0: not for 5 years. 14.04 looses suppor tin 3 years. then you will need to upgrade to 16.04 at least [13:13] telboon: never needed that :) [13:13] admin0: but yes. no one will fix bugs on a dead horse [13:13] k1l_ . .. correct .. but with 4.4 we are good to go for at least 3 more years [13:14] admin0: yes [13:14] Linuxcon has started: http://content.jwplatform.com/previews/sGxezkWB-oygsdW3u [13:15] !ot | bittin [13:15] bittin: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:16] k1l_: is there a way from threre to show that this bug has been fixed in recent kernels .. that will make the upgrade case very easy [13:16] for example, in http://pastebin.com/MPza7mbJ .. how do I check where its been fixed [13:17] admin0: you are mixing the steps. first upgrade. then see if that bug is fixed. if not make an bug report so the kernel team can look at it === h-1 is now known as h- === gal is now known as gsagie_ [13:24] I have a dual boot machine; it would not go to grub menu on startup, went to win and to reboot to ubuntu had to do advanced startup from device.

[13:34] Hey guys trying to help out a friend on phone: her xenial wont get a GUI (just black screen) after grup, she cant get a login at all the TTYs (they change but wont display login), and the recovery root console disappears after short amount of time (is that a nasty bug?), heaving her with nothing but a sysrq reboot as option. Any ideas what went wrong on update (i think she said she switched from gdm to lightdm on updates) and how to remotely [13:34] fix it (on the phone)? [13:34] cuaox, what driver is in use? radeon or AMDgpu? lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' [13:34] Seems sort of generic.. but what package provides libopengl.so.0 ? [13:34] for use with Ubuntu 16.04 [13:35] 0erHeks: Kernel driver in use: amdgpu [13:36] we tried different kernels on grub menu, none would let her into a login at the TTYs and since the recovery root console disappears after short amount of time (this makes me kinda annoyed at the implementation of it), we cant dpkg-reconfigure gdm or such from it [13:37] cuaox, oke ( btw perfect askubuntu Q, with good details) [13:37] well thanks :) too bad no answer yet :/ [13:38] de-facto: have you tried booting with nomodeset ? [13:39] AMDgpu is in development, and i read kernel 4,7 gives many fixes.. but that does not help you now. >> http://news.softpedia.com/news/linux-kernel-4-7-2-is-a-big-update-with-numerous-amdgpu-and-arm64-improvements-507504.shtml [13:39] R9 380 [13:39] One can try a !mainline kernel [13:39] Or the padoka !ppa [13:39] hateball no havent tried that, but with older kernels (which worked before) [13:39] yeah but im already on 4.8 kernel [13:40] hateball, he tried padoka. [13:40] OerHeks: Ah [13:40] OerHeks: you think downgrading to 4.7 is a good idea if im already on 4.8? [13:40] and vulkan api, but get notified cant run it. [13:40] OerHeks, cuaox didnt notice you were also having AMD issues. I actually meant my suggestions for de-facto heh [13:41] 4.8 is way too new i guess, you would need to test the beta driver from AMD too... [13:41] hateball: lol :D i remember you also trying to help me but yeah, my issue is still not resolved and im getting here from time to time to ask if someone can help [13:42] hateball its an intel integrated gfx afaik, i thought if its a driver issue the older kernel (which was working before updates) should rule that "nomodeset" out [13:42] de-facto: ugh, I'll blame lack of coffee for mixing things up [13:43] de-facto: are you *sure* it is intel? [13:43] yes [13:44] heyo [13:44] having some trouble with properly setting up dynamic libraries [13:44] a short paste with an overview of relevant cmds & output: http://pastebin.com/bdUn2Nmj [13:44] de-facto: right, it shouldnt hurt to try nomodeset anyhows. kernel regressions happen after all [13:45] basically my init.d script doesn't find the library provided in /usr/lib64, running the binary manually works fine [13:46] grateful for any pointers :) [13:46] yes but the older kernel lead to a working gui before... what i dont understand actually is that Ctrl alt F1-7 works for switching but wont let her login to a terminal [13:46] hateball ^^ === richard is now known as Guest6436 === robotrolll is now known as robotroll === evil_dan2wik is now known as dan2wik [13:53] http://askubuntu.com/questions/812244/games-freezing-after-some-time-on-steam-audio-works-can-move-coursor-around so anyone with knowledge big enough to resolve this? [13:57] cuaox, are you using a proprietary driver? [14:04] Question: New to ubuntu. I have a 200 Gb partition that I encrypted. Whenever I log on to Ubuntu and put the passphrase into the encrypted drive, it disappears from the launcher to the left. Where did it go? And how to save files to it? And how do I access those files? [14:05] t3chcr0w: On your hard drive or a removable drive? [14:05] It is a seperate partition on the hard drive [14:09] I encrypted it through Ubuntu [14:10] t3chcr0w: You can open a terminal (press Ctrl+Alt+T), type `mount | fgrep ext`, and press Enter. Each line tells you the `/dev` device followed by "on" followed by where it's mounted. Do you see it there? [14:10] t3chcr0w: Usually, the device for encrypted drives will start with `/dev/mapper/`. [14:11] This is what I received: mount | fgrep ext [14:11] mount | fgrep ext [14:11] ack [14:12] says: /dev /sda7 on / type ext4 (rw, relatime, errors=remount-ro, data=ordered) [14:14] t3chcr0w: If that's all it says, then it's not mounted (i.e., loaded up). [14:14] it was present on the launcher and when I click on it and enter the passphrase, it dissappears [14:14] do I need to mount it? [14:15] hi [14:15] t3chcr0w: What is the launcher you used called? [14:16] hi all` [14:16] I mean the launcher bar on Ubuntu [14:17] t3chcr0w: Oh. In the terminal, run `gnome-disks`. === zhao is now known as Guest70933 === h-1 is now known as h- [14:19] Ok, now we are getting somewhere. I see the partition there. Under LUKS (have been reading about that this morning though not fully aware of what it is) and a little lock symbol that is unlocked. How would I access the system? [14:20] t3chcr0w: Let me format a disk right quick. [14:21] No problem. I appreciate the help [14:21] I have been mounting an external drive automatically with a credentials file on a 14.04 LTS distro. I changed the password on the, and now get a "mount.cifs permission denied" message. I've used the password in the credentials file to login on the drive, so I'm sore that the password is correct. What's the next step? [14:23] t3chcr0w: OK, if it's unlocked, it'll have that partition with a partition under it. [14:23] Guys can anyone suggest which services I should try to restart to enable my wifi again (it stops working ~30min after boot). I tried network-manager and nm-appplet already. [14:23] Yes [14:23] t3chcr0w: You can click the partition under it, and press the play button. [14:23] t3chcr0w: If it's there. [14:24] t3chcr0w: Under it all, it should tell you where it's mounted. [14:24] noobuntu: try restarting the 'networking' service [14:25] No play button visible. If I click on it and click on the settings button I get: format, create image, restore image and benchmark partition [14:25] yes, I see it's location under it [14:26] t3chcr0w: OK, open a second terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T), and do `cd whateverItSaysThere`, then `ls` [14:26] ducasse: didn't work [14:26] Let me see what happens if I try to save a filoe to it [14:26] I want to install kali linux in multiboot after an ubuntu and I want to install another os later. how to make thepartitions? [14:26] t3chcr0w: OK. [14:26] one moment [14:27] donald1: I'm not sure how to make it all bootable with GRUB or whatever, but the partitions are easy enough. Make one swap partition that you reuse with all of them, then three partitions for each OS. [14:28] Hello, is there a way to watch HBO Nordic on ubuntu? i have tried installing pipelight widewine and also libhal1-flash but it does not work [14:29] EskoKeskivakkuri: i would test if it works with chrome [14:29] k1l_: Did not work [14:30] Rarrikins: you forgot the partition for the packages and for the system [14:31] @Rarrikins Can't seem to see any sort of file system other than the Ubuntu space and when I enter that command into terminal I get "Not a directory" [14:31] Sorry, still learning IRC commands [14:32] t3chcr0w: Make sure to replace whateverItSaysThere with the directory it mentions when Gnome Disks says where it's mounted at. [14:33] t3chcr0w: So, if it says "Mounted at /media/t3chcr0w/whatever", you'd do `cd /media/t3chcr0w/whatever; ls` [14:35] jonnnnn [14:35] !autofs [14:35] Automount is the modern way to mount directories over a network. It is much easier to manage and more economic in bandwidth than static mounts via fstab.

When I do 'sudo ifconfig wlp16s0 up' I get the error 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Input/Output error'. [14:35] Rarrikins: Actually I was looking at the device name. I don't seem to see where the partition location actually is [14:36] noobuntu: are you sure you are running ifconfig as root there? [14:36] k1l_: fyi.

Click on the unencrypted partition. Look below the partitions. It'll list some information. Line one will be "Size". Line two will be "Device". Is there a line below that? [14:39] Rarrikins: Just say content: unknown [14:40] Rarrikins: The one above says LUKS Encryption (version 1) — Unlocked [14:40] t3chcr0w: OK. Between the partitions above and that listing of information below, there should be a few buttons. One will look like gears. Are there any other buttons there? [14:42] Rarrikins: The version without the lock symbol does NOT have any other buttons aside from the gears, but the partition with the lock symbol on has the gears as well as a 'delete partition' option and a 'lock partition' option [14:42] t3chcr0w: Try clicking the lock symbol. === don is now known as Guest52365 [14:43] Anyone here know how to get my Canon ImageClass MF3240 printer working with ubuntu??? [14:43] t3chcr0w: Then, click it again to decrypt again. [14:43] t3chcr0w: See if it mounts properly. [14:43] Rarrikins: Locked it, joining those two partition tables together. Now the image of the encrypted drive is back on the launcher to the left [14:44] 'sudo ip link set wlp16s0 up' gives 'RTNETLINK answers: Input/output error' [14:44] t3chcr0w: OK, now in Gnome Disks, try clicking the unlock button. [14:44] Guest52365, did you check the openprinting database?? [14:44] I have tried everywhere. Googled everything. [14:45] Rarrikins: Now back to where we were. I entered the passphrase and now the partitions tables split again [14:45] Rarrikins: and the drive image is gone from the launcher [14:46] t3chcr0w: OK, now select the unencrypted bottom partition. Does it still say Unknown for the Contents? [14:47] Guest52365, you didn't look there, i gues, The OpenPrinting database suggests that it does not have Linux support. [14:47] Rarrikins: Yes. Is it posssible it isn't formatted correctly? [14:47] t3chcr0w: Yeah, that's the most likely reason. [14:48] DerHeks, Canon states on the site it works with Linux. [14:48] Rarrikins: What s the best option for formatting? [14:48] t3chcr0w: If you didn't have any data on it, you can use Gnome Disks to reformat it as an encrypted partition. [14:48] t3chcr0w: You'd just click the lock icon on the upper partition again. [14:48] How can I get file browser to show previews of JPG images?

[15:26] Hello people [15:26] has anyone deal with login screen loops? 16.04 amd64, ive reconfigured lightdm, ive purged/ reinstalled lightdm, ive removed .Xauthority, ive purged lightdm and installed gdm (gdm completely failed), this is my .xsession-errors file http://i.imgur.com/7MRkIuS.png [15:27] waarom regent het zoveel. het is de einde vand e wereld [15:27] rictoo: wrong channel [15:27] oh sorry [15:29] noobuntu: https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/plain/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf [15:29] There maybe [15:29] Not sure if it's been modified [15:29] I guess you could reinstall it too, should reset the default config [15:29] So I had issues before with Installing the latest Ubuntu (16.04)... basically the live CD will load, shows the menu where you can "install / try or test media" etc... but when i select Install or try I get a black screen with a blinking cursor... I suspected that it could be graphics card related so i tried the nomemset and a bunch or other boot parameters (for nouveaux) but it all yieleded the same result... [15:29] poisonby I just checked and my system doesn't have any wpa_supplicant.conf so it cant be the problem [15:30] I tired the cd on another pc with similar specs and it worked fine... different graphics card. [15:30] But then i tried ubuntu 14... same thing ... then ubuntu 12 and that booted into live cd fine... [15:30] Huh, he left. [15:31] so i upgraded from 12 -> 14 -> 16... then i got the same problem when booting from grub :S then i reinstalled 12 then upgraded just to 14 and that works fine... What's the deal? Any thoughts? [15:32] (I would ideally like to run the latest ubuntu) I have a zotac geforce 210 1gb pci-e graphics card... [15:32] hi everyone [15:32] !nomodeset [15:32] 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 [15:32] Rickster_ ^^ [15:32] hi rickster [15:32] can u help me out [15:33] Rickster_: Weird. You could check the journal after it's happened, and see if you find anything off [15:33] I tried nomodeset.... got the same result unfortuntely... [15:33] i am running ubuntu 16.04 [15:33] BUT I also tried fedora... live CD ... and that gave the same bloody thing lol [15:33] hi subhojit..u seem to be indian [15:34] hi! i run ubuntu on the surface pro and have a custom kernel for the type cover. the problem now is that i use an encrypted install and on boot when i am asked to provide the cryptfs password, i cannot type. what do i need to do so that the newly installed kernel is used at that point already? [15:34] journalctl -b -0 shows messages from the current boot, journalctl -b -1 from the previous boot [15:34] hi [15:34] I'm upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. There's a list of packages that "are no longer supported by Canonical". [15:34] What does that mean? [15:34] Does canonical officially support all the packages? [15:34] hi i can help [15:35] GIMP is no longer supported? [15:35] can I send AT commands to CD Drive ? [15:35] ksft: no, only packages in main [15:35] ksft, some packages not, like 'universe' and 3rd party stuff [15:35] ksft: canonical makes the support for the packages in main. [15:35] but... this is from a livecd OerHeks.... isn't most temp stuff just stored in memory, will a log be actually written somewhere where I can accesss it? [15:35] aneesh_: that would be great, i just need to know what to google for. [15:35] will I have to reinstall GIMP? [15:35] ksft: no [15:36] Rickster_, good question, journalctl -b -0 would work i guess [15:36] it says it's being removed [15:36] ksft: gimp changed from main repo to universe repo. that is what this message is about [15:36] oh, no it doesn't [15:36] I misread it [15:36] nevermind! [15:36] ksft, depends, where you got that gimp from, ppa? [15:36] ksft: no need to panic :) [15:36] @bpt does your device boot properly? with keyboard and mouse? [15:36] I jumped from 12 to 16, now this network interface rename got me by surprise [15:37] fivekeys, new feature that comes with SystemD [15:37] Hi guys !!! am working with ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386 [15:37] fivekeys, source https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [15:37] does your device boot properly? with keyboard and mouse? [15:38] aneesh_: if i attach a normal usb keyboard everything works, but for the type cover i use a custom kernel that of course just runs after i typed the cryptfs password. [15:38] OerHeks: oh, thanks for the ref. Reading [15:38] fivekeys, eth0 > ens1o1 on my machine [15:38] Hi, can anyone help me with re-installing mysql after upgrade to ubuntu 16.04? it looks like its damaged for good. I followed all guides I could find but end up with "invoke-rc.d: dangling symlink: /etc/rc5.d/S03mysql" === ssaturos is now known as saturos [15:39] philspain, there is mention of a fix in the releasenotes https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes#MySQL_5.7 [15:39] OerHeks: it beame eno1 on mine, but something strange is happening [15:40] is it a custom kernel? i think your problem is not with the OS???? [15:40] OerHeks: on bash, ifdown autocompletes to eno1 (agreeing with ifconfig) but on execution it says 'unknown interface eno1' [15:41] aneesh_: the problem is that the keyboard only works with the custom kernel, but that custom kernel is not loaded until after i typed in the cryptfs password. [15:41] bpt That's problematic :P [15:41] Oerheks, thanks but I read this already. I didnt have any customized config file, nevertheless I tried the 3 workarounds without success. I think now I already messed up everywhere and should use a new image :/ [15:42] bpt: Excuse my ignorance, but why not just boot the custom kernel directly from your boot loader? [15:42] I guess this renaming is a good thing? even though I've never seen anything different from eth0... [15:43] fivekeys: you can go back to the previous method if you wish [15:43] How can I see CDrom related commands? like eject. [15:43] fivekeys: the interface names are strange for usb interfaces, they include the mac address [15:44] Many thanks for all your help :) Have a nice day, will get back to you with the results. [15:44] poisonby: maybe the way i formulated it was wrong. i installed ubuntu on encrypted lvm, everything works except the built-in keyboard. then i installed a custom kernel and the built-in keyboard works with it. the problem is how do i get the keyboard to work at the point during bootup when it asks for the lvm password? [15:44] akik: the naming itself doesn't bother me [15:45] akik: ifdown not getting his shit together does [15:45] sorry dont get you....if you cant boot up the kernel...i.e. you cant move your mouse or type in the keyboard, its definitely is a different issue...if u can boot your machine, i belive there is nothing to worry about. You can expunge the faulty kernel and install custom kernel again... [15:45] poisonby: my assumption is that in this early stage of the boot process, a different kernel is running that doesn't know my custom kernel even exists [15:45] fivekeys: are the interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces ? [15:45] bpt, seems to be a known issue, touch screen and encryption password. what guide dit you follow? === h-1 is now known as h- [15:46] bpt: You specify the custom kernel in your boot loader config. [15:47] akik: no, just lo [15:47] fivekeys: ifdown reads the settings from there(?) [15:48] akik: likely, but eno1 is up and running... that's some inconsistency right there [15:48] bpt: But yeah, maybe you're right, this is a bit out of my area. I'd ask in #linux or some channel dedicated to the actual kernel and ask there [15:48] fivekeys: if you are using network-manager, don't use ifdown [15:49] hi help please... [15:49] anyone?? [15:49] poisonby: in grub i have "Advanced options for Ubuntu", there i can choose the custom kernel. when i do so it asks me for the passphrase for the lvm container, but the built-in keyboard is not working yet. after successfull boot it works though, so i'm not sure what exactly is running at the time when i'm asked to provide the password [15:49] akik: I wasn't, but probably will from now on. It still baffles me that ifdown won't find eno1 **but still autocompletes it as command line argument**. [15:51] I have a stupid question. I want something that will encrypt a folder that contains some random Python scripts. After entering a password to decrypt the folder, it will execute the Python code and load it in memory *then* encrypt the folder back again. Is this even possible? [15:51] if you are using a old keyboard ?? BIOS dont recognize it??? [15:51] bpt: I meant edit the config file in /boot/ [15:51] OerHeks: just added the tigerite ppa to install the custom kernel. everything works smootly except that i'm using an encrypted lvm and my keyboard isn't recognized at that early stage in the boot process when i have to provide the lvm password. if i enter the password with a normal usb keyboard everything works fine including the built-in keyboard. [15:51] may be basic things we have to check out first? [15:54] poisonby: i'm looking at it right now, just don't know what to look for as i'm not familiar with the boot sequence. where do i see what kernel is running prior to lvm decryption? [15:55] poisonby: or am i wrong if i assume that at the point of the password query a different kernel is running than the one that will be executed after decryption? === jstein_ is now known as jstein [15:56] bpt: I'd be of a lot more help if you used systemd-boot :P I haven't used grub in years. There should be a menuentry in the config file and "linux /boot/vmlinuz", which would be your kernel. Change that to your custom one [15:56] bpt: Again, though, I'd ask in a kernel specific channel to be safe [15:57] Hello [15:57] anybody here? [15:57] Hi there. [15:58] Hello pengjiayou [15:58] poisonby: i'm using what the lubuntu installer installs, which is grub at the moment :-/ but maybe i'll give systemd-boot a try if i can't figure this out. i'll ask at a kernel channel, thanks for your help! [15:58] hello poisonby [15:59] I am testing Polari [15:59] any ideas on login screen loops? 16.04 amd64, ive reconfigured lightdm, ive purged/ reinstalled lightdm, ive removed .Xauthority, ive purged lightdm and installed gdm (gdm completely failed), this is my .xsession-errors file http://i.imgur.com/7MRkIuS.png [16:00] jcase: Use startx and consider your problem fixed :P [16:01] thanks, i now consider my problem fixed, well i would except yeah that doesnt help [16:01] jcase: I was joking.

[16:05] its a vm for fuzzing, i dont actually need to be concerned about security of it [16:05] jcase: Try this then: $ echo "exec gnome-session --session=ubuntu" > ~/.xinitrc && startx [16:06] jcase: If it's a VM, make sure to install the drivers for the VM graphics card.

And it runs on silverlight [16:49] * brunch875 grabs an axe [16:49] trism: Icon=/opt/PhpStorm-143.382.38/bin/webide.png [16:50] ash_workz: looks fine if that is the right path, did you try logging out/back in sometimes the old icons get cached [16:50] ash_workz: or lack of icon [16:50] there's a thing called pipelight to run that on ubuntu [16:50] asdas [16:50] trism: erm... so I did this yesterday, and I guess the laptop died because I had to boot it up. [16:50] but I get the feeling I'm doing something terribly wrong [16:51] yesterday, it actually had an older icon of phpstorm in the dash but the launcher was messed up [16:51] today, the icon in the dash looks like a blank page [16:52] I've got 32 GB ram which I think is too much, and hard drive is a little bit slow.. so is there a way to use more ram and fast things up? [16:52] crazyzurfer: seriously [16:53] hicoleri: yes... [16:53] How to close a port ( Say 8080 ) [16:53] okay, and the launcher still looks like a ` ?⃞ ` [16:53] souravbadami: with a firewall [16:53] crazyzurfer: could make ramdisks, tmpfs [16:54] crazyzurfer: I enabled it using sudo ufw allow 8081/tcp [16:54] crazyzurfer: use slid state drives [16:54] *solid [16:54] souravbadami: sudo netstat -pant | fgrep ':8080 ' [16:54] souravbadami: At the end of the line, it tells which program to close. [16:54] souravbadami: Also, alternatively, which PID you can kill. [16:54] trism: any other advice? both launcher and dash are screwy [16:55] hicoleri: I know, but this computer isn't mine, it was borrowed to me by the university [16:56] crazyzurfer: If the computer is pretty old, and/or has an NTFS filesystem, you might want to run a disk defragmenter on it [16:56] * tgm4883 wonders why a Ubuntu computer would be running on an NTFS filesystem [16:56] if it has other drives [16:57] or partitions [16:57] ash_workz: strange, not really sure what is up, if I were messing around with it I would create a completely new .desktop file (maybe just copy the old one to a new name in ~/.local/share/applications/ ) then log out back in and see what you find in the dash...can you pastebin the whole .desktop file? maybe sometime got messed up in it [16:57] crazyzurfer: anyway i'm out of ideas [16:57] hicoleri: nope, just formatted it and installed ubuntu [16:58] crazyzurfer: Can you give me an estimate? [16:58] trism: I will, but right now I am gonna try the old icon [16:58] of the data transfer speed? [16:58] trism: see what happens [16:58] trism: brb [16:59] crazyzurfer: You can set up `/tmp` to actually use `tmpfs` rather than disk. [16:59] <_0xbadc0de> hmm, so about ubuntu server [16:59] <_0xbadc0de> how do you suggest that I should transfer data between my host and my guest ubuntu server vm? [17:01] (Okay I need to go now.)

Someone can help me to resolve a problem with SystemRescueCD? [17:13] raspy: no not really [17:14] I have a bunch of R packages to install listed in a row, I want to copy all of them, but only paste one line at a time, so that I can check for errors. [17:14] Pinkamena_D: oh okay well in that case, look at my pastebin [17:16] Anyone know how to check the currently forwarded ports by miniupnpd? [17:19] Aterfax: use the -l parameter [17:19] That ok if its already running? [17:19] Running it as a service [17:20] <_0xbadc0de> how can I set up ubunto server's SFTP» [17:20] Doesn't seem to have an -l option [17:21] I'm getting a new computer, with a 250G SSD and a larger HDD. How would you recommend I arrange partitions? [17:21] energizer: put root on ssd, home on hdd [17:22] _0xbadc0de, http://www.krizna.com/ubuntu/setup-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-14-04-vsftpd/ [17:22] energizer: on SSD: 30GB partition for / small partition for SWAP, /home for rest of SSD. Then mount the HDD somewhere else and symlink directories based on large stuff you want to store there [17:23] I can't find MMT, Myanmar or Burma inside /usr/share/zoneinfo/ ? any ideas? [17:24] Aterfax: SFTP isn't FTP. [17:24] No kidding [17:24] hence why it details setting up SFTP [17:24] Aterfax: Ahh, sorry. [17:25] tgm4883: what make you prefer home on ssd? [17:25] I'd also put everything on ssd... I'd even partition automatically :P [17:26] how come? [17:26] energizer: 250gb is a little large just for /. Plus things in my home directory are usually things I want to start fast (documents, games, etc) [17:27] Pinkamena_D: Just create an R script that does trycatch(install.packages(pkg, pkg) [17:27] energizer: why wouldn't you want your home directory on an SSD? [17:27] even if it was 128GB it would be more than enough for me to put everything on it, so why not? [17:28] so maybe my question should be trijntje, what makes you prefer your approach? [17:29] Pinkamena_D: You can put them all in one script if you use trycatch() effectively [17:29] Pinkamena_D: i wasnt in here for your original question, but you might take a look at the r package pacman [17:29] energizer, SSD is faster than a normal HDD, besides , `/` wouldnt need all of the 250gb. [17:30] energizer: that was based on my own setup, where I also have windows (and my games) on the ssd. If you only have ubuntu, 250GB should be plenty for both your home and /, and you can put the really large files on the HDD as suggested by tgm [17:30] b-yeezi: looking at it [17:31] energizer: I think trijntje longs for the good old days when you could make a pot of coffee when you open a document [17:31] ahahahhaha [17:32] * inlimbo wasnt born back then === mathieui is now known as Guest55584 === Guest55584 is now known as mathieuii [17:38] So...

[19:22] ubunt18, kidding, i thionk is 32 [19:23] lol [19:23] alright ;) [19:24] well them i'm astounded as to why its doing this..brand new machine, as of a few days ago, brand new ssd blah,,all new,,a brand new install 16.04 lts, I wouldn't expect this ;) [19:24] others are seeing it, as your url and user here have shown..so Im not sure my faith in ubuntu is going to stand [19:24] hey guys. i am looking for a way to create a ubuntu live usb stick (both legacy and uefi supporting) with additional drivers/software/settings to the original one. Is there any guide how to do that? [19:24] free rocks..but not if such issues happen ;( [19:25] decisions decisions ;) [19:25] free as in freedom, not as in money [19:25] SchrodingersScat: thats assumed, those involed do so WILLINGLY, so your point is taken but I dont agree ;) [19:25] why is it ccalled "Free software", then? [19:26] free* [19:26] ubunt18, witholut proper logs like var/log/dmesg and Auth and xauthority, what do you expect of this channe;? [19:26] the software isn't what's free [19:26] the people are [19:26] teh software is also free [19:26] you're wrong [19:26] it doesn't cost money, but the people are the ones with freedom [19:26] ubuntu18 you are just useless ranting [19:26] OerHeks: excuse me ? [19:26] OI!!! [19:27] ALGUEM DO BRASIL? [19:27] well thats nice, if I 'speak my mind' its ranting ? [19:27] gee thx :) [19:27] if it's not ubuntu support [19:27] !offtopic [19:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [19:27] OerHeks: what did I say, that seemed like 'ranting' to you ? [19:28] ubuntulog, you don't want to provide info to work to a solution, fine, but don't blame ubuntu then. [19:28] ubunulog ? [19:29] why do i have to go through the long tedious process of register my nick [19:29] ??? [19:29] OerHeks: what would providing logs prove ? its not just me having this problem someone else on this forum is too, plus the URL ioria gave me proves someone else has,,its not just me right ? [19:29] Obadiah1: 1) its not long or tedious, 2) dumb people spam us. [19:29] ic [19:29] OerHeks: IF I thought there was a 'reason' it does this on a OLD install thats one thing, but a brand new install,isn't that kinda nuts ? ;) [19:31] Obadiah1: security [19:31] ubunt18, yes, that is why info is needed, i cannot give away a rondom solution like append systemd.unit=multi-user.target to the kernel line in grub/run once [19:32] ;) [19:32] journalctl -b -1 provides info from the previous boot [19:33] guys? anyone can help me? or can tell me what to do the use a bootloader which will boot both UEFI and legacy systems? [19:33] OerHeks: you misunderstood, I might be willing to , if it was a OLD install, this is new, i'm new sure I can be bothered [19:33] OerHeks: and thats not a rant, btw. [19:34] its pure frustration , over a brand new install, that should not do this ;) [19:34] I'll ask on ubuntu forums and see if I can get more information ,,ty all I guess :) [19:34] ubunt18: I'd recommend checking the drives using a long SMART check. The drive might be failing or something. [19:35] dreadkopp: make a bios-boot partition and an efi partition [19:35] 2/5 [19:35] ubunt18, oke, so you cannot give info, you got me totally off track :-) [19:36] hey, sorry, friends took me to lunch; anyway, now I'll post that .desktop file [19:36] trism ^ [19:36] ash_workz: alright [19:36] ash_workz, first of all, it is executable ? [19:37] ioria: there's an Exec= line, if that's what you mean [19:37] ash_workz, no chmod +x file.desktop ... paste ls -l file.desktop [19:37] I am just noticing though, an inconsistency in the file and what the dash executes [19:37] ioria: why would it be executable? [19:38] trism, in unity it has... idr why [19:38] so... [19:38] ioria: ls -l /usr/share/applications/ [19:38] let me give the run down [19:38] I didn't know what to do to resolve an icon in the dash that pointed to the wrong version of a program [19:39] trism, not in there... on the desktop [19:39] so I went with the suggestion of using "main menu" (alacarte) which worked [19:39] ash_workz, where is you . desktop ? [19:39] EriC^^: i guess i need to grub install twice somehow then? [19:39] it actually presents you with fields similar to the lines in .desktop files [19:40] dreadkopp: yeah, install both the grub-pc and grub-efi packages [19:40] so I changed it using that and then all the icons broke, but at least they pointed to the right place [19:40] opening up this .desktop file shows the old path [19:40] dreadkopp: install grub-pc so it writes grub to the bios-boot partition, then it won't matter anymore i think, and install grub-efi [19:40] EriC^^: thanks! then just install ubuntu to the stick, add packages i need and set it ro , righty? [19:40] which indicates to me that that file is not being used... at all [19:41] that there is something else responsible for both the icon and the executable [19:41] I think I'll grep for the new path maybe [19:41] dreadkopp: not sure about the ro part.. [19:41] ash_workz, usually i just add a .desktop ( with +x) in ~/.local/share/applications ... [19:41] dreadkopp: i think so! [19:42] hmm... there isn't any file in the /usr/share/applications directory that has the new path as an Exec= line [19:42] so how can this broken icon link to the correct file? [19:42] dreadkopp: never tried to actually run ubuntu as ro, so no idea [19:43] trism: any ideas? [19:43] dreadkopp: are you talking about a grub parameter? how do you plan to achieve that? [19:43] should I `sudo apt-get remove alacarte` ? [19:43] * EriC^^ curious [19:43] ash_workz: that shouldn't change anything [19:43] EriC^^: thanks a lot.. will give it a go in the next hours :) thought about fstab [19:43] trism: well, there's something clearly amiss here [19:44] dreadkopp: aha [19:44] dreadkopp: ok, no problem :) [19:44] ash_workz: do you maybe have multiple .desktops with the same Exec in ~/.local/share/applications/ ? [19:45] ash_workz, if all the whole .deesktop is correct try to append %u to the Exec line [19:45] trism: `grep -rns 'PhpStorm-162.1121.38'` (which is a component to the correct path) only has one result; the current icon path [19:45] ash_workz: an old thing with alacarte that often messed things up is it would add multiple Icon= (and maybe even Exec=) lines instead of replacing them, so it may still help to look at the actual file [19:45] trism: I am looking at the actual file [19:45] trism: I'm just saying, I initially set it with alacarte [19:46] trism: Idk... maybe it's not working as I expect [19:46] Does someone maybe using encrypted multiboot? I had a distro on an encrypted partition with separate boot. I backed up the boot partition, installed Ubuntu on an encrypted partition, also with separate boot, so the earlier boot got overwritten. It worked fine, but I used the backup to get the earlier boot partition back. [19:46] this is what I'll do and come back... (1) set the icon file to use the same parent as the current Exec line; log out and in, see if that changed the target of the dash icon [19:47] Now what should I do in order to be able to boot into Ubuntu as well? [19:48] EriC^^: well what i am trying to do is a live linux environment which automatically connects to my vpn so i can access it. Used to rescue harddrives and reinstalling the OS (window... duh) via mounting the internal harddrive in a vm and install it there [19:49] EriC^^: all i really need is the original ubuntu liveSystem + virtualbox + vpn clientside setup + a few rescuetools but i really don't know how to integrate that into the original image :/ [19:53] !persistence | dreadkopp [19:53] dreadkopp: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [19:53] dreadkopp: why does it need to be a live usb stick, instead of a regular installation in a usb stick? [19:53] maybe check that out ^ [19:54] ubottu: thanks for the link, will check it. alkisg: problem i was thinking about was that with 'normal' install to USB i would have either legacy OR UEFI support... [19:54] dreadkopp: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === Brobotico is now known as SuqMadiq [19:55] dreadkopp: no, you can have both === us is now known as peglegg [19:56] ubottu: damn it.. say thanks to EriC^^ to me then :P [19:56] dreadkopp: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [19:56] trism: nope, so even when I put the path in as `Exec="/opt/PhpStorm-143.382.38/bin/phpstorm.sh" %f` (old PhpStorm version) it points to the correct version [19:56] I'm having some trouble changing the listening port for ssh on a new install - full disclosure I'm on Mint 17.2, but no help from that channel. === jstein is now known as Guest1142 [19:57] peglegg: port xxx in /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:57] trism: could alacarte have done some magic to functionally turn that into a link to the new file somehow? [19:57] I changed the config from port 22 to 13 following a guide. restarted the service, and couldn't connect via 13, but still coudl on 22 [19:57] opened sshd_config and the new port was saved and still there [19:57] ash_workz: well alacarte should only really write the static file [19:58] peglegg: what's the output of this? grep -i port /etc/ssh/sshd_config [19:58] ash_workz: so it would seem you have another .desktop file somewhere overriding this one [19:58] What ports, IPs and protocols we listen for [19:58] Port 13 [19:58] first line is commented out [19:58] trism: I'll see what the path says in main menu [19:58] just missed it on the capture [19:58] USB3 /etc/ssh $ nc -v -z 127.0.0.1 22 [19:58] Connection to 127.0.0.1 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded! === coy is now known as Guest67260 === jstein__ is now known as jstein [19:59] SB3 /etc/ssh $ nc -v -z 127.0.0.1 13 [19:59] nc: connect to 127.0.0.1 port 13 (tcp) failed: Connection refused [19:59] trism: yeah, alacarte still says `Command: "/opt/PhpStorm-162.1121.38/bin/phpstorm.sh"` (new version) [19:59] peglegg: sudo netstat -nap|grep :13, or sudo netstat -nap|grep ssh [20:00] peglegg: and, sudo service ssh restart, and then tail /var/log/syslog for errors [20:01] trism: now that I've changed jetbrains-phpstorm.desktop to only use `/opt/PhpStorm-143.382.38/bin/phpstorm.sh` (old version) a recursive grep turns up NO instances of the new version path [20:01] trism: I really don't get what's going on here [20:01] ash_workz: I'm not really sure either [20:02] ~.~ [20:02] ash_workz: there's not another .desktop file in /usr/local/share/applications or anything is there? [20:02] your restart syntax corrected the issue [20:02] trism: I'll try maybe grepping the parent [20:03] the guide I was learning from used sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart [20:03] might take awhile [20:03] instead of sudo service ssh restart [20:03] try sshd [20:03] thank you for the fast assistance [20:03] ash_workz: well /usr/local/share/applications may not even exist so it might be a quick check [20:04] peglegg: yeah that old syntax wasn't correct for new ubuntu versions [20:04] You're welcome [20:04] trism: oh... I didn't notice the *local* part of your path... I've been checking /usr/share/applications [20:04] trism: it would seem that path does not exist [20:05] Hi, can someone please explain how I can obtain: The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed. [20:05] and grep doesn't turn up anything either === dda is now known as enecon [20:05] ash_workz: just trying to think of other places it might be, if you search for say, phpstorm in the dash do you get multiple entries? [20:06] Hi, can someone please help me? [20:06] !ask [20:06] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [20:07] sebaguro: ^ [20:07] trism: no; I only ever had one; and alacarte helped me change the destination [20:07] sebaguro, sorry I didn't see your question above [20:07] sebaguro: you probably have broken sources.list [20:08] OK, sorry, thanks [20:08] ash_workz: can you pastebin the file? if there aren't multiple entries then I guess it has to be something wrong with that one, I can't really think of anything else [20:08] sebaguro: write the whole line that you're trying to execute and the whole output and put those to pastebin [20:08] I got a window appear offering to upgrade ubuntu to version 16.04 [20:08] Which Ubuntu version do you have now? [20:09] trism: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/de9593975d45b1e09cc437d194da4aa9 [20:09] but as soon as I try i get a window appear with title "the required depends in not installed" [20:09] The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed. [20:09] ash_workz: what is the full path of the jetbrains-phpstorm.desktop because alacarte would be editing a file in ~/.local/share/applications/ [20:10] trism: oh? [20:10] ash_workz: it usually creates ones with random names too [20:10] another question: virtualbox will run on even on a old crappy celeron without any virtualization option, however only for x86 host and crappy performance, righty? [20:10] trism: the full path is /usr/share/applications/jetbrains-phpstorm.desktop [20:10] ash_workz: yeah if alacarte edits that it will save something in ~/.local/share/applications/ [20:11] ash_workz: so you might want to look there instead [20:11] sebaguro: which ubuntu version do you have now? [20:11] * ash_workz looking [20:11] dreadkopp true, you need x-vti or something to run 64bit, i have that issue too === blackbird_ is now known as blackbird1 [20:12] trism: yeah, that didn't have the appropriate extension on the Icon= line [20:12] brb [20:12] logging out [20:12] alkisg: Linux maquinita 3.13.0-68-generic #111-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:17:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [20:13] smbclient works, but nautilus doesn't show any devices in "Windows networks". How can I fix this? [20:13] MonkeyDust: good to know. sufficient enough for my usecase :) thinking about qemu however, easier to set up the whole 'mounting complete harddrive for the vm' stuff. virtualisation-wise the same thing i guess?

[20:14] ubuntu comes with kvm support by default, righty? [20:14] OpenVLC flickers like there is no tomorrow after "up"grade to Ubuntu 16.04.1 from 14.04. I use a nVidia GT 640 GPU Can I fix this somehow? [20:15] trism: just leave it? [20:15] ash_workz: just leave it there it doesn't hurt anything, stuff in ~/.local/share/applications can overriding /usr/share/applications/ [20:15] dreadkopp your hardware must be kvm capable [20:15] trism: thanks for your help [20:15] alkisg: grep VERSION= /etc/os-release [20:15] ash_workz: np [20:15] alkisg: sorry i meant [20:15] MonkeyDust: sure. however kernel shipped with ubuntu comes with kvm modules, righty?

[20:18] hello - ubuntu 16.04 question. I have it installed on my lenovo yoga 13. For some reason there is some sort of keyboard shortcut where, when i press ctrl-right or left, sometimes, and I don't know when, and only when doing that repeatedly, , it closes the current window. This happens alot when I am editing an email, and it is really annoying. I can't seem to find shortcuts to remove this one. [20:18] i have some problem with my computer! [20:18] G4b1t_: ...only if he has space issues and runs an apt-get clean inbetween... otherwise I don't see any reason to do that [20:18] keini: did you try turning it off and on again? [20:18] have you tried fire yet keini? [20:18] i am using ubuntu 16.04. sound is not coming in headphones. anybody please solve this?

I didn't know that dist-upgrade would work out-of-the-box if the system wasn't fully updated. [20:20] the bios password probleme! [20:20] Question regarding ubuntu 16.04 on my old laptop. The cpu doesn't support AES-NI, yet i dont feel comfortable taking it on the go without at least home dir encryptfs. Will i see noticeable adverse performance with encrypted home? [20:20] nthrow: still sounding like fire is the best solution [20:20] G4b1t_: dist-upgrade includes the plain update [20:21] its runnign a decent Core 2 Duo T9300 [20:21] i can't remove it [20:21] keini: not ubuntu related... try cmos reset [20:21] alkisg, cool. Well, as long as I brick I learn xD. Thanks again for the clarification. [20:22] before loading the os [20:22] colints: it shouldn't matter a whole lot [20:22] i can't enter in [20:22] Not sure if this is a python question or just a linux one but I am reading this DigitalOcean tutorial and I am lost as to how this upstart script triggers a virtualenv activate http://pastebin.com/1M26xAx6 is the flask app running in a virtualenv from line 10? [20:23] is an encrypted home generally safe enough to keep a would-be-thief from accessing my home data?

[20:25] i can't enter in bios [20:25] colints: yep, I generally recommend encrypted home directories unless you can demonstrate a need for FDE [20:26] keini: cmos reset +you're better of at #hardware sice this isnt a ubuntu issue === yoni is now known as Guest49049 [20:26] alkisg: I got the following Warnings on the apt-get dist-upgrade [20:26] WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!

Mostly don't want a thief to have access to emails and family photos, etc. [20:27] sebaguro: you probably have a ppa in your sources.list.d [20:28] Rebelnet: system76 offers laptops with ubuntu preinstalled. Dell also offers a few laptops like that [20:28] sebaguro: try disabling all your unofficial sources [20:28] tgm4883, errr... wont my swap still be visable? [20:28] colints: yes [20:28] Rebelnet: The Dell laptops are called Developer Edition [20:28] i have see those [20:28] seen [20:28] alkisg: i meant at the beggining but it seems to be continuuing OK [20:28] colints: you could encrypt your SWAP or forgo swap [20:29] tgm4883, is there an option to encrypt my swap? [20:29] only 3GB of ram [20:29] how can i install kali linux [20:29] tad cutting it close imo [20:29] I'm experiencing an issue with uploading through SFTP in a chrooted environment. I am pretty certain that permissions are correct, but I am getting a permission denied error when trying to upload something to the allowed directory. More weird, this was working until my server rebooted. Could anyone help me out? [20:29] alkisg: should i abort? [20:30] sebaguro: yes, then remove your unoffical sources, then try again [20:30] VLC flickers a lot after the upgrade to 16.04.01 from 14.04 (using nVidia GPU) [20:30] colints: hmm, http://askubuntu.com/questions/463661/encrypted-swap-partition-for-14-04 although I'm not sure how beneficial that would be without FDE [20:30] i'm thinking of getting the 1049 dollars or 1449 dollars model of the Developer Edition [20:31] jorrit: using nvidia drivers or nuveau? [20:31] but i'm not sure which one [20:31] I can provide screenshots of my directory structure and permissions should someone be able to help. [20:31] i guess ill just wipe the swap and get rid of it... [20:31] dreadkopp, nVidia drivers, since I'm a gamer [20:31] Gio_DE: chrooted SFTP, home dir is owned by root, you can't upload anything in the docroot [20:31] I had a terrible experience using Nouveau and I tend to avoid it after that. [20:32] I'm aware of that. I have directories created inside the chrooted directory that are owned by the appropriate users for those sub directories. [20:32] tgm4883, thanks for the help! [20:32] hmm... tried a differnet player and checked if same behavior occurs? @jorrit [20:33] The upload error is occurring inside these sub directories. I am using CyberDuck client to attempt the upload. I've also tried psftp CLI. [20:33] And i get a permission denied error when trying to upload [20:33] It seems permission/owner related, i just don't know why, as they seem correct. [20:33] Gio_DE: that's SSH FTP, right? [20:33] Correct. [20:34] dreadkopp, I really love VLC because it supports so many formats and has a decent interface, unlike SMPlayer and don't even get me started on Totem... [20:34] I'll try though [20:34] does anyone know how to get an amd driver working on ubuntu [20:34] jorrit: VLC has, in Tools menu, Preferences, Video, some settings you can try. [20:34] Gio_DE: and the directories are writable? u(g)+w ? === Charlotte is now known as Guest88980 [20:35] ase_: which ubuntu and which driver [20:35] jorrit: sure, i love vlc as well.. just to see if this is vlc error or driver problem :) [20:35] ubuntu 16.04 and r5 m350 [20:35] ase_: for AMD, should be loading the correct driver by default [20:35] alkisg: what is best way to remove unofficial sources? [20:36] it's showing th integrated intel one [20:36] not the amd one [20:36] sebaguro: run software-properties-gtk and do it from the gui [20:36] Rarrikins, I've already tested all the recommended options. like enabling de-interlacing (yadif) and switching to software rendering. If I choose software, the playback slows down to a crawl. I had no problems running VLC on 14.04 on the exact same machine. [20:36] alkisg: thanks [20:36] ase_: laptop with hybrid graphics? [20:36] i have an amd driver and an intel one [20:37] blackflow: that's correct. The permission on the root-owned chrooted directory is currently 755. The permissions of the sub-directories are 700. [20:37] but the amd one is not showing [20:37] Each of the sub directories has a specified user for it, and chown is set up properly [20:38] R5 M330 tgm4883 [20:38] dreadkopp, SMPlayer runs smoothly, so it must be a VLC-specific option. the UI of SMPlayer looks like it escaped from Jurassic Park 1 though. [20:39] Gio_DE: if the dirs are owned by the user, then the only thing possible is a broken apparmor or selinux policy. otherwise what you're saying is impossible. [20:39] Omfg, i bet it's selinux. [20:39] Hang on. [20:39] Gio_DE: if it were FTPS (FTP over SSL), then it's possible there are different user mappings involved, but with SSH, no. [20:40] blackflow: note that the users do not exist at all in the chroot /etc/passwd... but I don't know enough about how sshd handles this, to propose a solution... [20:40] jorrit: hmm... havent used vlc with linux for a while since i run linux only without X anymore.... there might be some hardware-rendering option though.. try tunring it of... unless you watch some fancy 4k porn there shouldnt be a problem :) [20:40] Im pretty sure blackflow just nailed it for me with SELINUX [20:40] Am checking now [20:40] alkisg: yes but ssh wouldn't allow sshing into other user's home dir [20:41] might be some problem with vlc an some nvidia drivers (should be fixed then) [20:41] dreadkopp, don't worry, I'm not using 4k-monitors and I'm not watching natural behaviour tutorials ;-) [20:41] Yep [20:41] blackflow: thank you so much [20:41] yw [20:41] all fixed. [20:42] <_l_k_z_m> hey how do I extract files from a .iso image? [20:42] _l_k_z_m: just mount the iso [20:42] <_l_k_z_m> or how do i mount an iso? [20:42] _l_k_z_m, you can mount it, and copy the files like you would from a directory [20:43] _l_k_z_m: from nautilus, you right click and open with archive mounter [20:43] _l_k_z_m: http://bfy.tw/7L3e [20:43] <_l_k_z_m> tgm4883, that doesn't work... [20:44] dreadkopp: not helpful [20:44] _l_k_z_m: "that doesn't work" doesn't really give us anything to go on. Why doesn't it work? Does it throw an error? [20:44] <_l_k_z_m> doesn't throw an error doesn't even open [20:44] <_l_k_z_m> is there a command line archive mounter? [20:44] _l_k_z_m: sudo mkdir /media/zomg; sudo mount -o loop theisofile.iso /medio/zomg [20:44] <_l_k_z_m> i'm working in awesome [20:45] _l_k_z_m: Sorry, that last medio should be media [20:45] _l_k_z_m, sure you can mount the iso as a loop device using iso9660 as format [20:46] <_l_k_z_m> what's the format [20:47] <_l_k_z_m> that doesn't even work [20:47] <_l_k_z_m> alright nvm I'll figure out [20:48] _l_k_z_m: maybe your .iso is broken? What's the output of: file /path/to/your.iso [20:48] can a logical volume be created with 1 stripe? [20:49] <_l_k_z_m> alkisg poweriso direct-access-archive [20:49] i tried to create a logical volume with 1 stripe and 8k stripe size but it states that i cannot use a stripe size with a single stripe [20:49] <_l_k_z_m> anyone just have a copy of game physics?

[20:53] alkisg Well, I was working with a script that would change my screens resolution on the fly. Actually, the problem started after I restarted....and I probably installed a few updates from apt... [20:53] (before restarting) [20:54] Bomber4chats2: do you have automatic user logins enabled? [20:54] всем привет [20:54] No [20:54] !ru | yao_ [20:54] yao_: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. [20:54] Bomber4chats2: then your scripts probably won't run because the user has not logged in yet, and it was an issue with your apt updates... what happens if you select the recovery mode from grub? [20:55] It is able to access Linux. The system reports that I'm in fail mode. [20:55] Bomber4chats2: xrandr should automatically disable itself when you restart. [20:55] (800x640) [20:57] Bomber4chats2: what kind of changes did you do? apt keeps a history at /var/log/apt/ [20:57] Ok [20:57] Btw, I'm able to enter the main image if I set nomodeset [20:58] (buy again, it reverts to fail mode) [20:58] Bomber4chats2: which graphics card, which driver, and are you using a custom xorg.conf? [20:58] Nvidia [20:58] I tried to install 367, but my system insists that I'm running 361 [20:59] Bomber4chats2: then try booting with nomodeset, remove the driver, and then reinstall it [21:00] Ok... [21:00] You're using the GUI for that, right? [21:00] I.e. the "additional drivers" tab... [21:01] So log/apt is mentioning that I've upgraded the following libs [21:02] Poppler-utils, openssl, vino, libssl, [21:03] that was before the black screen problem. I will now revert to the proprietary drivers, see if it helps. [21:03] heigh hough [21:04] query: how can I isolate this problem to determine if it isan Ubuntu problem or a Firefox issue? (to follow) [21:05] Hi curlyears. What issue are you having? [21:08] hi can anyone see this? [21:09] !test | raspy [21:09] raspy: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... [21:09] thx [21:09] alkisg reinstalled, trying to boot [21:09] occasionally, after several hours of intense use, Firefox will lock up. If I happen not to be typing when it happens, I can see it happening. First, whatever I am doing ceases to respond, then the entire screen dims to about 1/2 intwensity, and even if I go up and click on (x) to kill the proggy, it sits for a while (sometimes a second or two, [21:09] sometimes a minute or more) and then pops up a complaint about a "stalled" script, and asks if it should continue to run the script or perform a 'forced quit." WHen I choose 'forced fit,' sometimes, it kills the program. Other times it goes back into catatonia, and I have to go through the process several times to get out of the program *of cour [21:09] se, I can "kill" the process if I switch to a term screen. Whassup? [21:10] alkisg, nope, it's locked in a black screen. [21:10] But I got more info this time. [21:10] Log started recording stuff [21:10] Bomber4chats2: is it still reporting the wrong version? did you see any error messages while reinstalling? [21:10] SCAN_REQ_UMAC timeout [21:11] That and soft lockups === RalphBa|away is now known as RalphBa [21:16] Hello all [21:16] There was an error about prescript failing [21:16] I have a really annoying issue with my trackpad that doesn't occur in Windows. [21:17] But otherwise, it went through the installation process without any other problems [21:17] If I try and click while moving (I.E One finger on the pad, one finger at the bottom left to click) then the cursor jumps across the screen [21:18] This is absolutely maddening and makes it almost impossible to use the trackpad. Can anyone heklp? [21:20] hello [21:21] Hi Ahmadzai [21:21] (12:16:44 πμ) Bomber4chats2: There was an error about prescript failing ==> what error? put it to pastebin [21:21] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/365943 [21:21] Launchpad bug 365943 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) "Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used" [Medium,Fix released] [21:21] This appears to be the bug I'm experiencing [21:21] I know how to check the amount of Entropy with cat proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail - I am getting low numbers and slow SSL handshaking. I am using urandom in my conf. so my question is how can I check if openssl has enough entropy? [21:22] One of the last comments mentions trackpads that have a dual sensing/clicking area and my trackpad fits into that category [21:22] Is there a working fix to mitigate this? [21:23] The distribution-provided pre-install script failed! Are you sure you want to continue? [21:23] elricsfate, looks like the side of your trackpad is scrolling capable. that confuses with your finger position i think. [21:24] Yes OerHeks. Essentially I have an entire trackpad area with no visibally seperate button but there is actually a "button" that exists on each side underneath the trackpad [21:24] If I try to click that button down it instead sense my finger in that area. [21:24] Not actually sure how to fix the issue though? [21:26] is there any other bug/report known for your machine? [21:27] unity tweak tool can set some mouse tweaks, but not that area === blackbird_ is now known as blackbird1 [21:30] Is it an issue if my xorg.conf file has an extension with a datetime? [21:30] Am I supposed to have a clean xorg.conf on my system? [21:30] mornin' [21:32] Good afternoon FrostByt3 [21:33] good evening [21:33] (11.30 pm) [21:33] Bomber4chats2: No xorg.conf is supposed to exist at all, unless you created one yourself, which it will use if it does happen to exist [21:33] So if I delete it it will revert? [21:33] Reset* [21:33] Doesn't the nvidia driver make a xorg.conf? [21:33] !xorgconf [21:33] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. See `man xorg.conf` for file structure and syntax. For Ubuntu-specific documentation and more information, see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [21:34] I guess not anymore? [21:34] It seems Nvidia uses xorg [21:34] what's the best partition table and format for immediate compatibility between mac, windows, and ubuntu? [21:34] Xserver * [21:34] ...for a USB drive [21:34] I just want a drive that will work on all 3 with no quirks [21:35] bumblefuzz, msdos table, vfat [21:35] bumblefuzz, note that FAT32 is limited to 32GB partition and 4GB files [21:35] and what would I use for larger drives? [21:36] also, I don't even see vfat in gparted [21:36] bumblefuzz: I would use xfat. [21:37] The reason is because it supports drives of 1 TB or more. [21:38] xfat. [21:39] these pingouts tho [21:39] Mac can read NTFS, but cannot write to it without third-party software. [21:39] really no reason to self write on mac. tbh.. [21:40] does ubuntu have support for RedSeaFS? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TempleOS it's from this OS [21:40] also don't just use gparted for the gui, setup partitions, through cmd. not that hard... [21:40] what is temple based on again? [21:41] HolyC [21:41] should I use fdisk instead? [21:41] parted can work too [21:42] i don't see why rsfs shouldn't work. open source, just install some dependencies if needed ig... [21:42] lol it'snot that easy [21:43] eh the compiling shouldn't be that bad.. [21:43] templeos has its own compilier [21:43] for specially HolyC [21:43] he made it all himself, everything [21:43] rsfs is cpp [21:43] I'm pretty sure my problem has to do with one of the latest libs I've apt-get updated [21:43] compiler, bootloader, [21:43] it's HolyC [21:43] all of TempleOS is HolyC [21:43] it's a mix of C and some C++ stuff [21:43] he also wrote HolyC from scratch [21:44] I'm trying to get ffmpeg to run on aws lambda, but it says it's missing a library, is there a way to embed more libraries into ffmpeg? I noticed a guy on github had an ffmpeg that was 30MB and min is only 18MB - ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1 [21:44] it mightbe another package you have to install NomadJim [21:45] some codecs are third party or something and have special licences and od not come default with ubuntu install [21:45] so you have to agree to terms and then install them [21:45] looks like you are trying for Xvid [21:45] i don't see why you couldn't just compile it from G++ :/ [21:45] i've tried FrostByt3, speak with the guy who wrote it lol, if you said what you just said he will blast you [21:45] would the size of ffmpeg increase the more codecs I had installed? [21:45] I'm trying to run ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mpeg [21:46] LordLaravel: i cant find anything to that FS. its neither in the kernel not any real open source one, right? [21:46] and call you a nigger [21:46] it's open source lol [21:46] you can get it from http://templeos.org/ [21:46] there is a open version on github? [21:46] it runs in virtualbox [21:46] no he has an ISO, the OS compiles itself in under one seconds when it boots [21:46] the entire os [21:47] LordLaravel: no. we focus on ubuntu support in here. you asked about the filesystem. [21:47] LordLaravel: you sound more like you were advertising that OS which is offtopic in here [21:47] Fair enough k1l_ [21:48] NomadJim, probably not. the size of ffmpeg would be the same [21:48] the codecs are probably in another folder [21:48] are you talking about folder size ? [21:48] different versions and builds too can make different sized executables [21:49] NomadJim, if I googles your error and find a solution I will be extremely upset [21:49] I'm trying all of them [21:50] The thing that might account for the size difference is buliding ffmpeg with ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared [21:50] From https://forums.aws.amazon.com/message.jspa?messageID=583910 [21:50] ok so it's not solely related to ffmpeg, it's a shared library, so external top ffmpeg and can be used by many applications other then ffmpeg if they wanted to [21:50] yes NomadJim could be it [21:50] anoyone else here experment with deep learning?\ [21:50] NomadJim: what ubuntu is it exactly?

[23:42] To me, I feel like its only good for devs atm [23:44] Pikia, besides wget & curl, great [23:46] hello, i have some questions about installing windows alongside ubuntu [23:46] !ubuwin | Pikia [23:46] Pikia: Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows.

[23:53] i believe so [23:53] (Im not about to install 150 build depends on my desktop for a package that i want to build in pbuilder) [23:54] 0erHeks my mobo is a TA970, i will go look it up and see if it is UEFI [23:54] Hi there. Anyone an idea how to install owncloud ? [23:55] 0erHeks : it is a motherboard with UEFI bios.

[23:56] doolboot, yes, then i would install win10 without ubuntu present, and there is an UEFI manual to get things right afterwards [23:56] nevermind got it with dpkg-buildpackage -S which makes the DSC which I can then feed into pbuilder-dist [23:57] 0erHeks so I should unplug all my ubuntu hard drives? and which manual are you talking about? is it on ubuntu website? [23:58] !uefi [23:58] 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 [23:59] oh ok thank you
