[00:02] Capum321: i don't believe gnupg-shell is in the repositories, but http://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/11254/gnupg-aware-gui-to-encrypt-decrypt-pgp-ascii-on-linux has some recommendations [00:02] Capum321: no idea what you're trying to do specifically, so that's about all i can do to help [00:05] i have a .rtf file and would like to encrypt it individually. [00:05] Anytime I press Alt-f it make the file menu appear in the application I'm using. Can I disable this? [00:06] Specifically annoying in Atom, but I'd like to disable it globally. [00:06] most applications will occur this energizer [00:07] Capum321: i can't seem to disable it [00:07] energizer: i guess you could bind the combo to something else? but that's pretty application specific [00:07] yeah [00:07] Capum321: but you need a gui to do so? [00:07] There's no global thing doing this keyboard shortcut? [00:07] hmm, i guess no [00:08] if it's encrypt/decrypt on the fly, most welcomed [00:09] The reason I suspect there is a global shortcut, is that Atom has a keyboard shortcut resolver that tells you what shortcut your using, and when I press Alt-f, it just says I'm pressing alt. [00:09] Which suggests it's being captured before it gets to atom. [00:10] Capum321: i mean, `gpg --encrypt ...` with possibly other options? [00:10] can't tell, never used. [00:11] energizer: no, alt+f is specific to the window you're in, really. it's typically the file menu, but some applications (e.g. terminal) let you disable alt-menus, some don't [00:12] nacc, i just type gpg on terminal and it's waiting for me input a message? [00:13] Capum321: you should read `man gpg` (or probably `man gpg2`) === capri is now known as zz_capri === Liz is now known as Guest30210 [00:15] Hey there. I need a tip on how to migrate my psql database from one server to a new one. [00:15] Now, so far I know I want to run this command: pg_dump -C dbname | ssh -C remoteuser@remotehost "psql dbname" [00:16] however the trouble is, I need to do this as the user postgresql, on both ends, and this user has no shell nor any password [00:16] hello [00:16] dumle29: you may want to ask in #ubuntu-server; but also is there a reason you want to pipe your database dump? that seems overly complicated to me. Do the dump first, scp it over, etc. [00:17] dumle29: but also, i think you're supposed to use pg_dump -h (to specify the hostname) on both ends normally [00:17] idealy I'd want to do something like: pg_dump -C dbname | ssh -C root@remotehost "su -s /bin/bash" and then"psql dbname" [00:17] nacc, it will encrypt what message i type? [00:17] nacc: This was a line I found in stack exchange, it's for sending it compressed [00:18] dumle29: so you'd do `pg_dump -C -h localhost -U localuser dbname | psql -h remotehost -U remoteuser dbname` [00:18] nacc: problem is I can't login to remote host with the user I want to log in as [00:18] no shell or password for that user [00:18] I guess the intermediate file is the easiest [00:18] dumle29: psql shouldn't be using shell or password [00:18] nacc: SSH does [00:19] but I see what you mean. Connect to the database remotely. I don't think my servers are set up for that :/ [00:19] dumle29: yeah it just seems circuitous to use ssh, but i'm also not an expert on the topic [00:19] nacc: The database isn't open to external IPs [00:19] Capum321: have you read the man page? [00:19] dumle29: ah [00:20] thanks for the help though :) Gotta close my IRC bouncer before I dump the DB [00:20] dumle29: i think the simplest way is to use pg_dump, scp and then psql -f [00:21] Did they get rid of the - requirement for streaming through the ssh tunnel ? === ns_ is now known as nsdev [00:23] or is that just for the tar .. i can't remember now .. but that look slike a fun command to pratice with === nsdev is now known as nitestryker [00:23] o/ [00:24] nacc "it will perform a reasonable action depending on the type of file it is given as input " and if nothing is given, just gpg? it doesn't tell?

I have the nvidia drivers installed. Neither nvidia-settings nor KDE's display settings have managed to solve my problem, which is this: I have three monitors: one built-in to my laptop, two connected via display port. I wish to arrange the laptop's display (1920x1080) underneath the other two displays (both 2560x1440), so that it is sitting at +1600+1440. [02:01] What I get is all three arranged side by side, with the laptop's display being the right-most. I have made a change to the metamode in my xorg.conf, but that didn't have any effect. [02:05] hey guys, so I put my computer to sleep, and upon waking up, wtf happened to my launcher? http://i.imgur.com/6SAg6De.png [02:05] My external HD won't be read after unplugged from friends' PC - ubuntu reads as unallocated; how can i recover? [02:06] good evening, i've installed 16.04 and all is well until i open additional driver and install the proprietary nvidia drivers and reboot, after i log in the screen is black, i installed gnome-shell to rule out lightdm and set gnome-shell and default display manager and it also leaves me with black screen [02:06] Guy1524, what do you mean? [02:07] cynicist: there are no boxes around my icons [02:07] I haven't changed any themes or stuff [02:07] try looking up commandlines to use nvidia drivers instead of the default drivers tatertots [02:07] tatertots, I have the same problem. I am able to temporarily work around it by booting in recovery mode. [02:07] they might be confliciting with each other [02:08] Guy1524, well that's bizarre then. I assumed you did change your theme. [02:08] ya, I kind of like it lol, wish I could keep it [02:08] Guy1524, is anything broken? [02:08] nope [02:09] launcher works find [02:10] has anyone been able to load proprietary nvidia drivers in 16.04 without issue? [02:10] i have but i've installed those drivers a long time ago [02:10] and basically i had to command line to use nvidia drivers and stop the default intel driver [02:11] it was several years ago though so you'd have to google [02:11] Guy1524, you could try resetting Unity through unity-tweak-tool [02:11] My external HD won't be read after unplugged from friends' PC - ubuntu and windows reads as unallocated; how can i recover? [02:11] the system i'm using is older it doesn't have a gpu on the CPU die [02:11] like the more modern sytems do [02:11] cynicist: ya, if I logged in and out again or restarted lightdm, that would probably do the trick, Ill keep it this way as long as I can though [02:12] sounds like IdleTues has a gpu on the cpu die AND a discrete nvidia gpu [02:12] probably [02:12] tatertots, you probably need to run 'nvidia-xconfig' to get a proper xorg.conf [02:12] xorg.conf [02:13] best of luck [02:13] https://xkcd.com/963/ [02:13] IdleTues: Tried plugging the drive back into the original system and safely unmount it from that original system ? [02:13] im gonna try that in a few hrs [02:14] it was at a friend's PC so... [02:14] mfw i see him plugging/unplugging several times w/o ejecting [02:14] IdleTues, jesus lol [02:14] IdleTues, what filesystem? [02:14] ntfs [02:14] my hands sweat every time i acknowledge that [02:15] ok i'm going to reinstall fresh, load the proprietary nvidia driver and use nvidia-xconfig immediately after the proprietary dirver install before i even reboot or restart x [02:15] IdleTues, have you tried running 'ntfsfix' on it? [02:15] tatertots, you don't have to reinstall [02:16] see if that does anything [02:16] haven't heard of that one [02:16] but the big issue is that i think the partition table is broken [02:16] so it might not be a terrible issue at all [02:16] i've been able to turn a primary parition that i formatted to swap back in to fat32 and recovered everything [02:16] but erm... ntfs is different [02:16] it only take a bit i'm installing from liveusb and i have a solid state drive so no big deal [02:17] also it only reads on diagnostic programs like Disks [02:17] not gparted, not command line [02:17] tatertots, ok good luck. That should be the problem imo. [02:17] on windows it'll read on disk/device management [02:17] but nothing else [02:17] i tried making a disk image from a live usb... can't be read [02:19] IdleTues, try testdisk [02:19] IdleTues, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk [02:19] i've tried that a bit; the sectors take forever to run [02:19] IdleTues, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Advanced_NTFS_Boot_and_MFT_Repair [02:19] oh [02:19] i mean thanks, it's appreciated, i'm gonna do a deep search after i visit my friend [02:19] hi [02:19] but a quick search didn't find a sector [02:20] somebody speak portuguese? [02:20] i'm gonna do more test disk stuff after i check in with him [02:20] IdleTues, yeah try 'repair MFT' if you haven't already [02:21] repair mft [02:21] IdleTues, but definitely tell your friend to stop doing that lol [02:21] that's a new one [02:21] yeah it kinda pissed me off [02:21] Hi everyone [02:22] im gonna try partition manager [02:22] im gonna brb thanks cynicist === PickledEggs is now known as PickledEggs[SEA] [02:31] cynicist sorry i forgot what that mft program was [02:34] cynicist?

[03:33] Definitely a good place to start. [03:33] had somedy tried to replace openjdk with oracle's jdk [03:33] ? [03:34] i firstly removed openjdk* packages [03:36] and after that i tried to install jdk9 from oracles site, and the jdk8 included in android studio, but both failed saiying that there was trying to overwrite a file that was part of another package [03:37] the other package was openjdk9-headless wich i have removed a hundred times [03:37] Are you sure you removed ALL Java related packages? [03:37] Let me get alist [03:38] sudo apt-get remove openjdk-* icedtea-* [03:39] that was exactly what i did, in fact i readed many tutorials on how to replace [03:39] hello! [03:39] OximinuS: Does it mention whcih file? [03:39] ano: Hello! :D [03:40] TheNH813: yes [03:40] Which file? I can check which package it's from. [03:40] Maybe it needs apt-get purge for that specific file. [03:40] TheNH813: gimme a sec [03:41] *package [03:42] Try using: sudo dpkg -S /path/to/file [03:42] It'l mention whcih package it belongs to [03:44] btw, is any major diference between oracles and open jdk? [03:45] Oracle's Java is sometimes needed for certian software. Especially legacy java apps. Otherwise, they work fine for most java based software and games. [03:45] the only reason im switching it's because android studio requires it [03:46] I don't see why Android Studio should need Oracle Java it besides it being a requirement for whatever reason they decided to pick. [03:47] I personally see no performance difference between the two for something like.... say Minecraft for example. [03:47] As I'v tested both side by side [03:47] OximinuS, Google recommends it, but I don't think they require it [03:48] IDEA-based IDEs have a few rendering issues in OpenJDK last I checked. [03:48] OximinuS, in fact, they are trying to switch to openjdk as much as possible because of Oracle if I remember correctly [03:48] http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/android-n-switches-to-openjdk-google-tells-oracle-it-is-protected-by-the-gpl/ === root____1 is now known as puchogenzo [03:49] i have read somewhere that android-studio could be made work with openjdk, but i'm not so linux expert and im afraid to broke my sistem jejejeje [03:50] in fact i broke some packages while trying to get jdk to work [03:50] OximinuS: I'v learned a LOT by breaking stuff let me tell you. [03:51] It's amazing what one rogue package can do.

[03:59] with TWRP or another recovery on the device [03:59] OximinuS: Yup, just keep learning and you'l be able to figure out a lot more on you own. It's suprising how a small increase of available information can make a world of a difference. [04:00] nicomachus: yes i used, but in linux you can for example compile a kernel, atach a bootloader, the rest of the rom and try it in one command [04:00] it gives more freedom to do [04:01] windows is a bus that goes to one place only, and linux is a taxi that takes to whenever you want, if you know where [04:01] XD [04:01] Pretty much.

[05:05] End of July [05:06] Ok so it was before the 20th of august then I'm good with .36 [05:06] Thanks [05:08] does anyone have a working ubuntu 14.04 setup wherein they have an nfs share mounted via /etc/fstab? === ivers is now known as netvixtra [05:08] if so it would be interesting to know it exists and if you had to do anything special to make it work [05:09] Hi Folks... I have Tomcat installed, but I want to wait until a database service (oracle-xe) is up and running before starting Tomcat.. On CentOS, tomcat is a service file so I added `oracle-xe.service` to the After option in the unit specification. On Ubuntu, Tomcat is a sysvinit script - but the system uses systemd (16.04). Is there a good approach here? [05:11] sorry that should have been 16.04 I mistyped [05:18] "WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on 2016-08-04: *http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL" [05:18] that's the deal with the above statement? Do I need to upgrade?? [05:19] your link is badly formatted [05:20] hello world [05:22] michaelrose, that's what the popup says. It's not my link to be honest. Anyway, do you know the solution & how to approach it? [05:23] the problem is the way you posted it makes the final " part of the link [05:23] its your posting not the link that is problematic === alokj is now known as Guest23932 [05:25] it seems to be saying that if you want to receive updates and remain on ubuntu 14.04.5 the latest version of 14.04 lts you must install the newer HWE package which is presumably consists of kernel + gpu drivers + related packages [05:25] yeah, sorry for that. didn't noticed the last " will messup the link lol [05:26] unfortunately because amd gpus have historically been a terrible choice some people will have to use the open source amd gpu driver and deal with crummy gpu performance relative to the binary drivers on even slightly old hardware [05:26] can I safely get rid of HWE stack? without affecting anything if possible [05:27] I'm not really familiar with the HWE concept but I think it has to do with providing a newer kernel + gpu stuff so no [05:29] according to lshw the machine I'm using has "Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2010 @ 2.80GHz" [05:29] is there a good reason not to install a newer hwe? [05:30] Hello is there a ubuntu server for pictures so users can modify the exif information of the files? Most will show them and keep sql db about tags but not save them in the exif [05:30] It's a work computer not a personal one lol. I need to ask for permission before installing or removing anything [05:33] michaelrose, is there any reason to use HWE stack on that CPU? [05:34] I want to remove anything that doesn't update my kernel [05:35] I thought HWE was basically newer kernels on older releases [05:36] rcmainak, HWE is basically newer kernel and (for desktop) X server. If there's any security issues with the ken. Recommend backing up before upgrading (my Debian home server didn't boot with a backported kernel and restoring from backup was quicker option). [05:37] huh, thank you. I should probably ask for a complete upgrade to 16.04 [05:37] And that is probably why I should enable CTRL+enter for sending. s/ken./kernel, I don't think it'll get updates after support for that HWE ends./ [05:37] why would you need to restore from backup? [05:38] couldn't you add an additional kernel and pick which one to boot from? [05:39] michaelrose, because restoring took less than a minute and working out how to fix the problem would've taken me a long time. [05:39] first of all there is no way on earth that restoring the filesystem from backup took less time than rebooting [05:39] I don't need care about backup cause I'm using git on a server lol [05:40] I mean everything is already backed up there [05:40] logically after you restore from back up you still have to reboot [05:47] Hiiii [05:48] Hi Sir How are you [05:54] when you upgrade the kernel does it not even provide you with an option to have both? [05:55] both? [05:55] both kernels [05:55] sure, the previous 'old' kernel is still in grubmenu [05:56] then why on earth if one didn't work would you need to restore from backup? [05:56] not sure where you read this .. [05:57] the prior posters comments [05:57] oh i cleared a minute ago, i'll read the logs [05:58] oh, HWE .. [05:59] that involves more than just a kernel AFAIK. === ziprar is now known as zipace [06:01] 14.04.5 + hwe .. i would just upgrade. [06:07] Hi!! PickledEggs! [06:07] hi. i find unity unusable and cinnamon is buggy. is there any respite available? [06:07] !flavors [06:07] Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE [06:08] go wild on the many desktops :-) [06:08] OerHeks, dont really want to use any of those tbh [06:09] Then there is no "any respite available" [06:09] im happy with cinammon i just need it to stop being so buggy [06:10] Hi all! I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS 32 bit alongwith Windows 7, but no presecce on menu while startup pressing F6/Normally [06:10] Can anyone give me the right solution? [06:10] mgb, what do you call 'buggy' then? can you explain? [06:11] Saja, hold shift @ boot to enter grubmenu [06:11] OerHeks, right now it randomly decides to change my desktop to a pink purple screen [06:11] it's not convenient to constantly restart the desktop. [06:11] i need it black so it doesn't distract me [06:12] mgb, on what machine/specs? without proper info this sounds more like a hw issue to me [06:13] michaelrose, I actually have backup /boot, /usr, and / (excl. /opt, /var, /root, /home) partitions on a second disk in my home server, so unbootable just meant choosing a different boot option in grub if completely broken. The issue (I think) was something went wrong (possibly PEBKAC) and I somehow managed to break the Ethernet driver module for all kernels in /boot. [06:15] Hi...OerHeks........I already try "Left Shift Hold Procedure"......but still can't find Ubuntu. [06:15] Saja, is this a machine with UEFI bios? [06:16] OerHeks, it's not a hardware issue [06:16] OerHeks, i can keep using the desktop with a pink wallpaper (i dont want that) [06:17] mgb, In system settings -> appearance, change to a wallpaper that doesn't have the clock icon (clock icon = wallpaper 'Changes throughout the day'). [06:17] I have limited knowledge about computer..........At BIOS I found that with "Legacy", I think. [06:17] What is that? [06:17] Saja, with uefi, you need to do some steps to get a signed boot, see the uefi manual [06:17] !uefi [06:17] 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 [06:18] mgb: do you have an intal gpu? [06:18] ducasse, nah, nvidia [06:18] so if i can restart the cinnamon window manager, hopefully i can keep my state [06:19] is there a way to do that.. [06:19] I directly entered to Windows 7 after startup. [06:19] hi, automounting of SSH doesn't seem to work for me - I've added x-systemd.automount to the /etc/fstab entry and otherwise followed the instructions in arch wiki about sshfs [06:20] any idea how to debug that? [06:20] OK....finding UEFI. [06:22] ok i figured it out but it still has a pink wallpaper [06:22] sigh [06:23] so cinnamon is not buggy, good. [06:23] it is buggy [06:23] it's awful [06:23] i cant change the wallpaper without restarting it [06:24] and i mean literally logging out and restarting xorg [06:24] Dynetrekk, so you too find systemd mounting to be screwy === Seahorse is now known as Guest64287 [06:26] michaelrose: well.. I guess! [06:26] michaelrose: I'm no linux x-pert [06:26] michaelrose: well, I'm a decently advanced user, but not sysadmin [06:27] I'm thinking a second install of funtoo is in order [06:27] openrc for the win [06:28] hi all [06:28] i am trying to build gtk perf [06:29] autgen.sh and ./configure [06:29] both are fine [06:29] but i can't make [06:29] it says make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [06:30] atitest: no Makefile was created, then [06:31] atitest: so they're not fine [06:31] But else was quite finne [06:31] atitest: check again; must be something wrong if no makefile was created [06:35] How to check? in config.log [06:38] wattap [06:38] kaleksi paikalla?

[06:39] atitest: you've got to give us something more - but my autoconf knowledge is exhausted so ask the room and hope someone else knows [06:40] Dynetrekk, what logs i should paste ? [06:41] atitest: as I said, I don't know anything about autoconf - just that it definitely *should* create a Makefile/makefile [06:41] atitest: try the file you said and ask the room, not me [06:41] Ok [06:41] hope any one knows here about autoconf [06:42] atitest: try finding a channel for the software package you're trying to build (very general advice) - they should know more than a random buntu user [06:43] hi, everyone need help.

[08:59] Saja: sudo dpkg -i package.deb [09:00] I never installed software at Ubuntu......so elaborate plz. [09:00] is this at terminal? [09:00] Saja: why dont you use the virtualbox from the ubuntu repo? [09:01] say me the procedure.......all is well for me. [09:01] ubuntu ships a virtualbox version. and with that you get bugfix and security updates automatically. [09:02] uh.......so how can I get it. [09:02] ? [09:02] Saja: open the software center and search for "virtualbox". or you use the terminal and use "sudo apt install virtualbox" [09:03] password demanding......what type is that password? [09:03] your user password [09:03] I am using terminal [09:03] uh....thanks. [09:04] its always your user password. the same you use to login. [09:09] Actually I want to run virtual IOU.......like IOU_v22_UD-disk1.vmdk [09:10] eheh [09:10] hey [09:10] bro [09:10] Is this possible at oftware center's "virtualbox"?

[09:23] thanks all. [09:28] could anyone explain me why my default "ip route" vanishes by a reboot? [09:31] prestin: if you're defining a static route via cli, the it's not stateless and won't persist across reboots. If it's a specific static route you're adding. you need to add to the interface in a post-up command. [09:32] joelio well, I installed openVPN which uses the default route, I also had to add a tunnel obviously, and somehow, the default route was gone while the tunnel was still there :\ [09:32] if it's literally a default gw for an interface, you specifiy it in the static config.. otherwise it comes via dhcp obv [09:32] openvpn generally has options to push routes [09:33] alright, so next time i need to add it to the static config file right? [09:35] hi guys [09:35] how can i check what has installed files in /usr/share/javascript/jquery [09:36] i need to downgrade the jq version [09:38] leeyaa: dpkg -S /path/to/file === crankyrecursion_ is now known as crankyrecursion [09:43] ducasse: yeah i figured where it is [09:43] ;p [09:43] HElp?

[09:54] ITs ubuntu14.04 [09:56] ZeekHuge_: , motion as in a noise ? [09:57] ZeekHuge_: a movement noise ? [09:57] or liek a part of it inside is ? [09:58] Can someone help me setup static ip on a privallaged lxc container? [10:00] sebsebseb: yes .. somewhat like noise. Its similar to the sound made when I eject and close the drive. [10:01] ZeekHuge_: could be a failing drive or starting to fill or not quite work right hardware issue yes [10:01] ZeekHuge_: but do you have Windows or some other OS on that machine as well, you could load that up and see if get the same issue there or not [10:01] if so then yes indeed hardware issue I guess [10:02] I have installed Virtualbox at Ubuntu but can't run the IOU file IOU_v22_UD-disk1.vmdk ............can anyone help me? [10:02] ZeekHuge_: also 14.04 is the old LTS version now still supported for a bit or so longer, but 16.04.1 is out now. so LTS to LTS upgrades are available now [10:02] Saja: yes possibly [10:02] Saja: first of all vmdk is for VMware not really Virtualbox, however Virtualbox does have support for vmdk as welll [10:03] Saja: in the old days with VMware player and server for example, to load up a vmdk in those needed also a vmx file, I don't know about now, and I don't know if the vmx file would then also apply to Virtualbox if using vmdk files [10:03] uh [10:03] also what is that vmdk altough that;s not so relivent [10:03] Saja: Virtaulbox by default uses vhd files. virutalbox own format that's good and works great with it ::) [10:03] sebsebseb: Ah no.. I just have ubuntu. I installed 16.04 and wasnt able to setup optimus support on it (that NVIDIA graphics card). Guess it will be easy now with the noveau driver ? [10:04] ZeekHuge_: not sure about optiums, etc, but yes would be worth a try [10:04] Saja: generally just use the default vhd viritualbox format, however what is your vmdk ? [10:05] sebsebseb: Can I revert back from 16.04 to 14.04 ? [10:05] hm....understand === ZeekHuge_ is now known as ZeekHuge [10:05] ZeekHuge_: no downgrading is not offically supported and doing so may break your system etc [10:05] trying to do so I mean [10:05] !downgrade [10:05] Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [10:05] ZeekHuge: it would be possible though, but see above [10:06] ZeekHuge: I expect it to be possible but see above [10:06] in the future when btfs actsaully becomes the default file format and with snapshots, then sure no probelm down gradng, just use a previous snapshot, but untill then, nope. or maybe sun's/oracales zfs which I thinik has snapshots to, but that one well even having that supported in Linux is a bit hmm since how it's liscensed [10:07] file system above not formats [10:07] So....whais is the suggestion for me? [10:08] ZeekHuge: noveeous has improved well it does improve, even Nvida support it partly as well now [10:08] not sure it's curent state [10:08] sebsebseb: Then probably I'll try to install 16.04 alongside of 14.04 and see if the optimus setup works or not. [10:08] not using machines or devices with Nvidia currently myself [10:08] !optimus [10:08] Ubuntu uses nvidia-prime to support optimus videocards. [10:08] ZeekHuge: hmm ^ [10:08] what the bot put [10:08] hmm [10:08] thats old info ? [10:08] I must run the IOU_v22_UD-disk1 file...........is there any alternate file for Ubuntu supported virtualbox. [10:09] ZeekHuge: I woudn't know, maybe maybe not [10:09] !info nvidia-prime [10:09] nvidia-prime (source: nvidia-prime): Tools to enable NVIDIA's Prime. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.2 (xenial), package size 10 kB, installed size 66 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [10:09] ZeekHuge: ok good it's in 16.04 by the looks of it [10:09] I guess you try that then [10:10] yeah. will try .. once I have some free time. [10:10] sebsebseb: Thanks :) [10:10] ZeekHuge: you're welcome good luck :) [10:10] Saja: what is the virtual machine the OS [10:10] you are trying to run ? [10:10] what is it? [10:11] and what is the vmdk file, did you download it, or make yourself or what? [10:11] btw.. very off-topic question (ignore if you want to, no problem :) ). How about the book Art of computer programming ? [10:11] helo [10:11] i/j #chromium [10:11] how much time will it take to complete it? [10:11] ZeekHuge: not sure what book your on about [10:11] ZeekHuge: that better suits in #ubuntu-offtopic [10:11] try #ubuntu-offtopic for that ZeekHuge [10:12] oh ! thats a real channel ! didnt know that ! [10:12] ZeekHuge: yep [10:13] ZeekHuge: if you have a recent nvidia card you may benefit from using the nvidia !ppa, for a later driver than is shipped with 16.04 [10:13] Now I am using Ubuntu 16.04 ....... I installed virtual box from terminal ....Virtual Graphical User Interface Version 5.0.24_Ubuntu r108355 .... on that I try to run IOU_v22_UD-disk1.vmdk [10:14] Saja: yes ok, but what is the IOU_v22_ud-disk1 what's that for ? [10:14] hateball: and what is meant by "recent" ? [10:15] uh....may be iNetworkExperts topology for CCIE [10:15] Saja: you have a #virtualbox issue (since you dont know how to use virtualbox) and not a ubuntu issue. [10:15] yes [10:15] ZeekHuge: 5xx gtx and upwards [10:15] #vbox it is [10:15] Saja: look for a howto how to use a vmdk with virtualbox. like http://techathlon.com/how-to-run-a-vmdk-file-in-oracle-virtualbox/ [10:15] Saja, #vbox [10:15] Saja: not sure what any of that is for, but yeah k11 and bazhang have a point, you should try #virtualbox really [10:16] thats not the correct channel sebsebseb [10:16] Saja: #vbox [10:16] I used bumblebee earlier and use to keep the card off. With nouveau, its probably on and being used and therefore causes heating. [10:17] that is my task...and I have to complete the few contain of that file. [10:17] hi, when I'm in recovery I get AICP Errot: method reached maximum rentrancy limit (255) . As you can imagine my pc is a laptop and this error happens only whrn it charges the battery [10:17] ZeekHuge: if you install the proprietary driver and nvidia-prime + nvidia-settings you can pick the active card. Not sure nouveau supports that [10:18] ZeekHuge: bumblebee is deprecated on ubuntu. use the nvidia driver which ships nvidia-prime on ubuntu [10:18] hateball: okay so lshw shows that its GF108M [NVS 5400M], so i guess its the recent one . right ? [10:18] So I should leave #Ubuntu and join # virtualbox.........correct? [10:18] :22 [10:19] Saja: no join #vbox [10:19] Saja: I gave wrong channel [10:19] !virtualbox [10:19] Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [10:19] Saja: no. you can join more than one channel at once. but i linked you a howto. but for detailed questions on virtualbox you get more help in #vbox [10:19] ok thanks all of u. [10:19] Saja: good luck [10:19] ZeekHuge: yep [10:20] ZeekHuge: always use !ppa at your own risk, but with the nvidia driver it usually helps to keep up to date to avoid much headache [10:20] 'lo [10:21] I ran out of internet and I'm trying to set a static IP for my primary network interface (enp3s0) in Ubuntu 15.10. I expected the interface to be defined in /etc/network/interfaces, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Should it be? If not, where else do I configure it? [10:22] ThePendulum: using network-manager, nmcli if you are using commandline [10:23] ThePendulum: 15.10 is dead already. better plan to upgrade that box after it got internet again [10:23] if I could actually get dual screen to work in 16.04 I would've been on it in march [10:23] ThePendulum: if its not managed in the interfaces file the networkmanager will handle the device. [10:24] !help [10:24] 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 [10:24] well that was what I wanted to ask tbh [10:25] hateball: okay so basically to get the proprietary drivers, which might support it well, I need to first blacklist nouveau. then uninstall all nvidia* and bumblebee. Further then choose Nvidia's latest driver version in software&updates->Additional drivers [10:25] right ? [10:25] ZeekHuge: if you use the ppa, or even the default additional drivers, it will blacklist nouveau automatically [10:25] hey [10:29] hateball: sure ? I think I had some nvidia packages installed earlier and at the time of login, screen use to turn black for a long time and then used to get restored back. probably some race condition ?not sure though. Anyway .. i''ll try [10:29] also using it from additional driver is == to adding PPA right ? [10:29] ZeekHuge: well if you have proprietary drivers installed that dont properly support your card you may end up with a blank screen [10:30] ZeekHuge: no the "normal" additional driver fetches up to 361, the ppa has later versions [10:31] hi! [10:32] ZeekHuge: if you are feeling daring: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa && sudo apt update && sudo apt install nvidia-370 nvidia-prime nvidia-settings [10:32] Hiyas all [10:32] hateball: haha ! yes .. I am always feeling daring ! :) [10:32] ZeekHuge: and then reboot to use the new driver. If you end up with a black screen you can boot to recovery or us !nomodeset to revert it [10:33] How to make xenial shows the currently opened document name? it doesn't in almost all applications. [10:33] can someone help me access my lxc container through ssh [10:33] i have one static ip for the host [10:33] im not sure how to setup the container [10:34] through ssh over the internet [10:35] I am using Xubuntu 14.04 in a laptop and when charging the battery, percentage grows from (say) 2% to 99% in few minutes. Then, it stays a lot more time in 99% before reaching 100%. What can be the problem? [10:36] hi guys, I'm trying to make sense of the CVE listings here: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/main.html do these suggest that the yellow "needed" fields have not been patched? [10:37] hello, when i used svn, it asked me to create a password keyring. Since then, I should enter the svn host password and this keyring to use some commands. How do I manage the keyring: change password; disable/enable ? [10:37] So it has been a while and will give it another go. I have a new Desktop (writing from it atm) with 2x8GB DDR4 memories, but I only have inserted one, because having them both resultet in "Kernel panic". It had no problems when trying to boot up a Win10. Any ideas? [10:38] hateball: btw .. how do you know the ppa ? is it because you have used it ? or there is some logic behind that ? [10:39] logic == some standard rules based on which the official PPAs are named. [10:39] never heard of kernel panic bcaused by too much RAM [10:42] bonjour :) [10:44] BluesKaj, maybe because of DualChannel or something similar? Really don't know how to fix it. Tried with Ubuntu 16.10 as well (newer kernel, maybe compatibility issue) but no luck. [10:45] whats up cyberax, do you know about password keyring? [10:46] no ? [10:46] password for ? [10:46] hateball: okay, so going to reboot, if I am back in a minute, it works, otherwise .... lets see. === CyberaX is now known as CyberaX31 [10:48] it's a system password [10:48] don't know how to change its setup [10:48] no problem for me :) sudo passwd :) [10:49] it's not that at al [10:49] my wifi problem arises when I pass the monitor mode on a channel it captures packet, then nothing lasts 30 sec [10:50] Can any1 help me to setup vpn server & client on my ubuntu server ? went through multiple links but somewhere its not working ..dont know exact where the issue is ..

[11:24] daemon55: Yes, but I don't edit or read books with it, I just transfer them to either a kobo or a tablet [11:25] sucks [11:26] I noticed something like "NVIDIA licence kernel tainted" in the dmesg. Is that relevant ? [11:27] ZeekHuge: ack [11:28] hateball: Any idea what should i try to get the proprietary drivers working ? [11:28] ZeekHuge: well you can try using the 367 driver, "apt install nvidia-367", or purge them altogether to get back to nouveau [11:29] ZeekHuge: I only use dedicated GPUs, so cant really say what could be wrong with a hybrid gpu [11:29] hateball: okay. Also, I dont need to do something in nvidia-settings to get this working . right ? [11:29] ZeekHuge: well you can switch between intel and nvidia in nvidia-settings [11:32] ahh .. it just worked somehow. Dont know what happened. [11:36] hello guys [11:36] When Ubuntu prompts an "unlock private key" window, am I supposed to enter my user password? [11:37] hateball: ahh .. its working now, that same setup .. nvidia 370. Thank you :) [11:37] Though its with !nomodeset [11:37] but that works for me [11:38] ZeekHuge: I have had some bugs where login window was black (sddm as I run kubuntu) and switching to tty1 and back would fix it [11:39] ZeekHuge: there is also support for drm/kms with later nvidia drivers now, so one could try enabling that and see if it works without nomodeset [11:39] hateball: I didnt switch to tty1 this time. It just worked in the normal way. [11:40] ZeekHuge: but using nomodeset, yes? [11:40] ZeekHuge: you could try using "nvidia-drm.modeset=1" instead of nomodeset, see if that works [11:40] yes . does that make it different ? [11:40] using !nomodeset [11:41] ZeekHuge: it shouldnt matter for the nvidia driver so long as you are only using X [11:42] but if KMS works then you have proper bootsplashes and suc [11:42] again I dont know how all of this works with hybrid-gpus either [11:42] i recently upgraded my ubuntu os to 16.04 LTS and things starting going downwards from there..

[12:50] akik, ZohairBhai theres a lightdm.conf in /etc/init/.. would that be the one used to configure sessions in lightdm in ubuntu?

[13:56] This can be caused by: [13:56] * Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu [13:56] * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu [13:56] * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu [14:02] I've just sent the message I'm having when trying to upgrade [14:08] Please use a pastebin, like http://paste.ubuntu.com .

I've installed ubuntu-server 16.04, upgraded and updated apt, and it still can't find the package lubuntu-qt-desktop [14:40] as explained here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt [14:40] hi guys wondering if anyone knows if you can disable "normalization" of rules in UFW? [14:41] 2 rules for the same subnet to the same port get rolled into one huge /24 rule. [14:41] Seems a bit mental to me. Wondering if its something i can disable. Or do i need to just bin ufw and use iptables script of my own.. [14:41] !find lubuntu-qt-desktop [14:41] Package/file lubuntu-qt-desktop does not exist in xenial [14:41] what?? [14:43] I'm one [14:43] done* [14:45] grumble.. I wish ubuntu cloud team would get their act together with ubuntu/xenial64 images (specifically for vagrant). Just hit by a bug which means I can't create more than one ubuntu/xenial64 box as it names them all the same! trusty is fine and using chef's is fine... just ubuntu can't... ubuntu.

"Support" for that would be in #ubuntu+1 [14:47] ok [14:48] just a quick question, how to install this repo from command line? [14:48] qswz: remember there isn't any formal support for anything in yakkety yet [14:48] yes it's 1 month early [14:49] And you shouldn't add a yakkety repo to a xenial install [14:49] :( [14:50] this page is misleading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt [14:50] Wikis are often misleading [14:52] Although it does say in big bold letters the equivalent of "do not install this" === alberti is now known as hackrrrr === hackrrrr is now known as alberti [14:55] Linux 41 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 18 18:33:37 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [14:55] yea, I'll wait, hopefully 1 month [14:55] /msg NickServ identify QAZ1@* [14:56] lol [14:56] shit [14:56] [16:55] /msg NickServ identify ****** [14:56] lol [14:56] lolll [14:56] no worry [14:56] del logs plz [14:57] alberti: #ubuntu is publically logged.

Most systems 64bit nowadays (x86 based for sure) [15:01] huush [15:02] qswz keep hope [15:02] jak2000: you'll find the images on cdimage.ubuntu.com thogh, fwiw [15:03] jak2000: specifically http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ but I'd check about i386 - 64bit systems around for 10 years(ish) now.. since core2duo basically [15:04] most Xeons or whatever is servers will for sure (unless its reaaaaaly old) [15:04] hello, my root password doesnt work how do I reset it? [15:04] !root | kelvinella [15:04] kelvinella: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [15:04] I dont remember changing it, it was the same as my user password [15:04] kelvinella: passwd should work to change your password though [15:05] kelvinella: yes, sudo lets you use your users password [15:05] what about root? === r4z is now known as raaz [15:05] sudo passwd root [15:05] ok let me try brb [15:05] if not, then boot into rescue/single user mode and reset [15:06] kelvinella: read the bot info re: root === raaz is now known as r4z [15:06] kelvinella: if you have a vps or something that for some reason does have a root account, then normally sudo -i then passwd does the trick [15:06] It works!!! THX A LOT!!! [15:07] 1 more thing, is the root account in phpmyadmin the same as the root account [15:08] no, mysql password is not linked to normal accounts (it can be, but not default) [15:08] Then how do I reset it? [15:08] you have to stop mysql and boot into a recovery mode, then run some mysql [15:08] I forgot the root password in phpmyadmin [15:08] loads of info on the net how to do that [15:09] beyond the scope of #ubuntu support :) [15:09] que tal [15:09] I should have written it down a year ago I forgot the damn password [15:09] I try reinstall phpmyadmin doesnt work [15:10] kelvinella: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-majorversionnumber-minorversionnumber" should do the trick [15:11] package 'mysql-server-majorversionnumber-minorversionnumber' is not installed and no information is available [15:12] kelvinella: yes - you need to chenge the end of that to _your_ server's version. e.g. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.7" [15:14] mcphail, http://pastebin.com/80W4TTRp [15:14] error [15:14] I'm not sure doing a reconfigure will reset root, dbconfigure already ran [15:15] afaiu you need to reset the root pw via stopping mysql, using the recovery mysql and then runnign SQL to set the root user pw [15:15] but could be easier ways :) [15:15] can i purge mysql and phpmyadmin and then reinstall everything? === yennifer is now known as sanika [15:16] joelio: it should work. It certainly did when I last ran mysql on ubuntu and still works for mariadb on debian [15:17] dbconfigure already happened though, so not sure that does the reset - but not done it for a while, things change [15:19] kelvinella: yes, reinstallation would probably help [15:21] hy [15:23] helo === danny is now known as Guest82459 [15:24] does anyone have a keyboard?

[15:56] !swap | captainACE [15:56] captainACE: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [15:57] k1l_ yes [15:57] Hello, I was on 14.04TLS and saw that there was an "important update" to do. I did it and the computer, after displaying "ubuntu" with 5 dots wont start. An idea ? (sorry for my french-based english). [15:57] Jak2000: http://ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads BitTorrent section choose 16.04 LTS or 14.04 LTS or 12.04.5 LTS each has 32bit section.

[15:58] captainACE: the default unless you know why to change it [15:58] i want to make games faster so i changed it to 10 [15:59] jak2000, server or desktop ? http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ [15:59] jak2000: Then something wrong with your network It just downloaded for me in about 5 seconds. Then try http://mirror.pnl.gov/release/14.04.4 [15:59] i have another problem,i always have to start linux from recovery mode and then boot it from there because if i boot it normally my monitor goes to sleep,this is a major problem as the pc runs in software rendering mode [15:59] captainACE: based upon what did you make that change? [16:00] nacc: saw a guide on OMGUBUNTU.com and they told that you should reduce swappiness,and also a youtube channel named nixiepixel [16:01] lulz nixiepixel still around. [16:01] nah i dont think so [16:01] she was awesome tho [16:01] a true geek [16:01] captainACE: were you seeing excessive swapping? [16:01] -_- [16:02] i dont even know waht swapping is i just changed it because the guides say that it makes pc run faster [16:02] * nacc sighs [16:02] 0.o [16:02] captainACE: that's not generally something i'd recommend following (that kind of advice) [16:02] * slicktux breaths nacc's sighs and sighs it out [16:02] slicktux: heh [16:02] check the link out though [16:02] just a sex [16:03] sec [16:03] oops [16:03] SORRY [16:03] freudian slip [16:03] this one http://www.howtogeek.com/115797/6-ways-to-speed-up-ubuntu/ [16:03] * slicktux psychoanalysis captainACE [16:03] scrool down till the last one [16:03] lol slick [16:03] captainACE: so your video driver is not working properly at all. if its only in software rendering mode [16:04] is there a way to fix it , ican tfind any drivers for it and cards arent that old [16:04] what video card is it and what driver is in use? [16:05] captainACE: "If you find that Ubuntu is swapping processes out to disk when it shouldn’t be, you can try a lower value". You just said you don't know what swapping is, so I don't see how you believe following that advice is a good idea.

[16:19] but not when i start ubuntu normally [16:19] ok, well I did new clean pair with the speaker and now it says it's connected, but no audio. Not even the Test works. [16:19] it just geos to sleep [16:19] captainACE: that doesnt make sense [16:19] ill explain it to you,gimme aminute [16:19] captainACE: either you see grub or you dont see grub. keep in mind that grub doesnt show up automatically when there is only one OS installed. it just boots the latest ubuntu entry. [16:21] k1l_ see,when i start my pc ,i can see the partiotion screen,where there are 5-6 options one is the ubuntu OS,and other is recovery menu along wih other stuff,when i boot normally(select ubuntu) it starts and my monitor goes to sleep,but when i choose recover,it shows all the gibberish text(is that grub idk)and after that all the options,i select resume normal bott and then gibberish appears again and voila im in ubuntu [16:23] is grub the gibberish text on the screen that appears during boot? idk sorry if i am an ultra noob [16:23] im sucha noob [16:23] http://mirror.pnl.gov/release/14.04.4 not found [16:23] captainACE: ok, grub is only the menu you see first. press "e" there, then remove the "quiet splash" from the kernel line. then press the keycombo to start that modified entry. you should see the kernel log now on the screen [16:23] jak2000: 14.04.5 is the latest 14.04 release [16:24] ill try it and tell you,thanks again brb [16:24] jak2000: but that mirror doesnt work at all for me [16:24] I'm having those "Hash Sum mismatch" every time I try to aṕg-get update, looks like the problem is related to my region, but is there a way to fix this?

[17:08] helooo [17:09] anyone here [17:09] tbhh i dont know what a linux rescue cd is , i myself installed it from live usb,you should use recovery mode,if you have some OS related problems,else if you messed up big time,try the tool i mentiones [17:09] hi rif [17:09] BadApe, depends what you call broken, normally one uses the live iso to fix stuff [17:09] OerHeks is right [17:10] or maybe booting in recoverymode can be enough. [17:10] yeah,like if you have broken packages or something [17:10] BadApe, so what exactly is your issue? [17:13] OerHeks, so my friend has a broken box, it boots to a console login, but has no idea what his login is as someone who set it up create an auto login [17:14] BadApe, unless he has an encrypted home, it is easy to reset the password. [17:14] ha, i just guessed his password [17:14] BadApe boot to live cd and recover it [17:14] I will paste the steps if you like [17:14] it varies encryption and lvm [17:14] i was going to boot into rescue mode but it didn't give me what i remember as the recovery menu and a root console [17:14] doesn't matter, i got root now [17:14] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword [17:15] ok no problem === zel is now known as Guest23033 [17:16] sorry i used to know what i was doing, but been a while since i did much on linux [17:18] http://paste.debian.net/813110/ <<-- anyone know how to fix this codec problem seems to be missing from the codes all file and there hasnt been an update since 2011 [17:18] s/codes all file/codecs-all-file [17:19] anyone here [17:19] heloo [17:19] here here [17:19] heloo transhuman [17:19] welcome [17:19] thanks [17:19] im new here [17:19] and start use ubuntu [17:19] not for long that was 20 seconds ago...your behind the times ..lol [17:20] lol [17:20] transhuman: have you installed ffmpeg?

[17:30] it seems as though setting the default user-session in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/my-override.conf is being ignored entirely... [17:33] !ping [17:33] pong! [17:33] hi all :) i modified /etc/security/limits.conf and added "mysql soft nofile 4096" but when i do "sudo -u mysql sh -c 'ulimit -Sn'" # i still get 1024 [17:34] omaha, i'd go with .xinitrc [17:34] i'm not sure when these rules are evaluated... do i have to drop down to a lower runlevel? [17:35] !runlevels [17:35] In Ubuntu all runlevels except 0,1 and 6 are by default equal. Also keep in mind that Ubuntu now uses !Upstart instead of System V init so there is normally no /etc/inittab. [17:35] ioria, .xinitrc is run *after* the window environment is started, right? i want to replace the window environment [17:36] all the documentation i see online points to creating custom sessions in /usr/share/xsession to accomplish that [17:36] Hm, that needs updating [17:36] oh, right. thanks for that, genii. [17:36] do i have to reboot then? [17:36] omaha, you start xorg, overriding lightdm, and start your wm [17:37] ioria: how do i "override lightdm"? [17:37] omaha, you stop it [17:38] omaha, run xinit or xinit with args in 16.04 [17:38] Need help, How do I bypass firewall at collage? in ubuntu [17:38] kamisama: talk to your university help desk. You won't find help with that here. [17:38] can you be more specific? you're saying just stop the lightdm service? as in sudo stop lightdm? [17:38] It's there for a reason.

[17:40] kamisama: it's off-topic for this channel anyway. [17:40] hdon: The limits.conf changes take effect immediately, but only for processes which spawn after the changes have been made. Simplest is a reboot [17:40] oh i see. i need a new login shell. so i'll need to reboot if i want this change to be taken up by daemons started by init/upstart/whatever [17:40] hello [17:40] kamisama, your question is beyond the scope of this channel, try ##linux or so [17:40] genii, it doesn't seem to be for new processes or my test would have worked [17:40] ioria: i think i understand. i need to ditch lightdm and replace it with xinit, configuring systemd to do that for me on boot, right? [17:40] genii, but if i use su -l # then i get the new ulimit [17:40] or, actually... [17:40] yeah i think this is the case [17:40] omaha, nope [17:40] OerHeks , Thanks [17:41] or ##networking even.

[17:57] R13ose: are you using oxygen-gtk theme? [17:57] akik: how can I tell? [17:58] R13ose: go into system settings/application appearance/gtk [17:58] R13ose: because you said it happens on and off it can't be the same problem [17:59] akik: says I am using Breeze [18:00] R13ose: can you make a screenshot of the problem?

[18:08] uefi boot, that is. [18:08] Quick questions about btrfs and Ubuntu: If I have an Ubuntu install with a btrfs file system with / mounted to subvolume @ and /home mounted to subvolume @home, is it possible to install a newer version of Ubuntu to @ while leaving @home in tact? [18:09] hellyeah: well, ubuntu is removing old kernels on new kernel install now [18:09] good improvement [18:09] i am helping to person for installing ubuntu [18:09] i will say create ext4 200mb /boot [18:10] hellyeah: why not just / and /home partition? [18:10] akik: no file by that name in that directory [18:10] And swap [18:10] hellyeah: do you need a /boot ? [18:11] xangua: using subvolumes allows the size of each to be dynamic, rather than fixed. [18:11] once i got error about installing grub [18:11] i created /boot manually to fix that [18:12] i remembered that time [18:12] xangua: oh, sorry i see you were replying to someone else [18:12] R13ose: sorry, i don't know then. i had the tooltip colour settings in kdeglobals [18:13] Followed directions on fixing grub with getting the lvmetd not activated issue. update-grub throws this: /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 35: /etc/default/grub: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution [18:13] akik: thanks for the help [18:14] hi, i'm on ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 4.2. I know i should upgrade to the next HWE, but my GPU is still not supported by the AMDGPU driver. If i upgrade i'll have to use the open source driver, right? [18:14] how to know if a ip is DHCP or static? is [possible? [18:14] i need know the range of ip that dhcp reserve? [18:15] hellyeah: usually you dont need /boot these days. except some lvm,raid or encryption setups. [18:15] SonicPenguin, open AMDgpu is for the latest cards, open radeon for the older ones, no need to hold upgrading [18:15] jak2000: that depends on the routers settings. some routers dhcp servers give out same ip for sam mac adress. [18:16] akik: I changed the rendering backend and that black notification is in colour now but stuck there. [18:16] OerHeks, actually they said that GCN 1.0 cards will be supported in the future, but in the meanwhile a prefer staying on fglrx instead of radeon [18:17] arghh i need setup a static ip and if put it on range of the dhcp not workk [18:17] SonicPenguin, radeon works pretty good, here. [18:17] i just wanted to know if upgrading to the latest HWE will be the same as using ubuntu 16.04, because with that version i was forced on radeon [18:17] i'm sorry, but the power management is nothing compared to fglrx [18:18] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

[18:42] it's fine out of the box [18:43] don't bother with swap if you don't need it and really really care about writes i guess [18:43] ubuntu064, just let the installer do its thing, but you can shrink the main partition a little afterwards. the unused space is suppose to help the drive last longer. Also, make sure AHCI is enabled [18:45] @dax what about swapinessand setting up trimming? [18:46] ubuntu064: ubuntu supports trim out of the box for ssds [18:46] i wouldn't bother with swappiness. it's 2016. ssds handle writes to swap fine [18:46] and if you don't need swap, just remove it completely [18:48] what about noatime in fstab - by default the installer does not set this up? [18:49] linux has defaulted to relatime for years [18:49] no need for noatime, ssds today don't wear out like the first series. [18:49] relatime is noatime except it still writes atime in some cases for compatibility, but it's not enough to matter for ssds [18:49] plus what OerHeks said [18:50] you seriously don't need to do anything special [18:50] despite what the piles and piles of blogspam online will tell you [18:50] ok guys then looks like I'm fine with default [18:50] ubuntu064: todays ssds last as long as regular hdds with normal usage. [18:50] (with TRIM set up, which it is) [18:50] even my 5 year old 60gb ADATA ssd still works fine, i bought a new one because i want 256 gb. [18:51] if you zero your full ssd on a daily basis, that is going to make an issue. but still even hdds tend to fail out of the blue. [18:51] go for it :-) [18:52] probably repeating this question - twould be really useful to have article about ssd's on Ubuntu official wiki [18:53] and yeah pile of online articles that are just waste of time [18:54] well, the first ssds were rubbish. but that is where all the panic and myths still comes from. like people still think 64bit OS is not to be used with <4GB systems or that swap needs to be 2 times ram :/ [18:54] so much this ^ [18:58] ubuntu064: There's not much relevant about ssds these days, they're just storage devices. [18:58] ubuntu064: Most of the stuff about them needing special tuning is obsolete. [18:59] I'm trying to understand LVM. I have successfully added /dev/sdb1 to my xubuntu-vg. What I don't know is if it is necessary to designate the free space (500GB) or when I added it to the LVM if it automatically increased the overall storage capacity of the combined drives with free space? [19:00] exit [19:00] MelRay: when you add the new physical volume to your volume group, it's not allocated anywhere [19:01] MelRay: it will just increase the total capacity of that volume group [19:02] akik: Thanks I'm using logical volume manager gui...so how does one allocate or resize?

I'm familiar with package management and such (I run Arch Linux as my primary OS), so I know how to do all that, but I can't quite figure out how to find the name ubuntu uses for a version of a package. Specifically, I'm trying to install apache 2.2.21 on the VM so that I can mirror the [19:27] server we use to deploy our lab projects on, but I can't seem to find the exact name of the package I need. Could someone possibly point me in the right direction? [19:28] well that was longer than I thought.

[19:40] wendico: yeah you'll need to reinstall grub, it's very easy if you have a live usb [19:40] root partition [19:40] thank you EriC, i do have a live ubuntu 16 ready, should i google for reinstalling grub from live?? [19:41] !zfs | teknoprep [19:41] teknoprep: For information concerning ZFS and Ubuntu, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS [19:42] thanks [19:42] wendico: this should cover it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot , if windows does format the efi partition, the uuid would change and you'd need to add the new one to ubuntu's /etc/fstab in case windows did that [19:42] wendico: if you have problems join the channel and you should be good :) [19:43] Thank you very much, ill check the info, go forward with installation and boot live to install grub, if i got any problem i will join again. THANK U Very much for the help! i love ubuntu channel :) [19:44] hi, can anyone explain to me how can i watch streams on ubuntu without the lag?

If new machine u got to solve other problems like maybe installing the right video drivers [19:47] i have noticed that chrome installed from google.com/chrome doesn't render very well... its like it doesn't use hardware rendering or whatnot like firefox... is there a fix for htis ?

[19:49] some help [19:49] if u dont ask the question we cannot help david [19:49] this chat its for doubts about ubuntu [19:50] !ask [19:50] 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 [19:50] for my nvidia cards.. should i get the drivers from nvidia or use the ones in PPA ? [19:50] !patience [19:50] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [19:50] ok [19:50] i need to install netflix [19:50] use chrome [19:51] My puter crashed, considering I can boot an old root... I assume it's my diskbq [19:52] *splat* I assume it's my disk. [19:52] apb1963_: my puter crashed also, and I chrooted to solve the problem; bad kernel config in my part. [19:53] apb1963_: ew, dd-rescue that sucka. [19:53] apb1963_: save the bits! save them while you can! [19:53] So.. the question is... can I fsck a 14.04 file system with a 12.04 OS? [19:54] is dd-resuce better than fsck? [19:54] apb1963_: fiel systems should be the same, so yerrrs. [19:54] cool [19:55] anyone else have an opinion? Just so I have two? :) [19:56] apb1963_: A quicky : terminal command ' sudo touch /forcefsck ' and renoot .. a light check will be run upon boot up . [19:56] apb1963_: fsck checks the file system for bad blocks, i believe. dd rescue is a data recovery util; used for when the other utilities skip over bad blocks; dd-rescue attempts to read data from those otherwise skipped blocks; which in term help with data recovery [19:56] Bashing-om: slicktux: excellent info! Thank you! [19:56] apb1963_: dd-rescue is for when all else has failed [19:57] apb1963_: && yer doing a data recovery. [19:57] guess I stlil have a minute then. [19:57] apb1963_: gl [19:57] I think it's only the boot partition [19:57] Or... I'm hoping. [19:57] Hey all, I'm setting remote access to my new Linux laptop. Am I correct that x11vnc is only used to mirror physical displays? (My laptop screen is only 1366x768 and I'd like to have a higher-res VNC session.) [19:57] apb1963_: hope is detrimental; [19:57] ;) [19:57] well... i'll find out soon enough [19:59] Bashing-om: Actually... I'm running off a different root, same system... so I can check the presumed damaged partition... how would you recommend? [19:59] well, this is annoying, xenial doesn't recognize my Super Top microSD card reader with a new Samsung 64GB microsdcard in the usb reader, it's listed in lsusb, but not in device notifier or in the file manager devices [19:59] Bashing-om: I was thinking to simulate it [20:00] BluesKaj_: ls /dev/sd* [20:00] Bashing-om: and go from there [20:00] BluesKaj_: might be listed there... then you mount manually [20:00] BluesKaj_: most likely /dev/sdb [20:00] hi all, i am running ubuntu 14.04 and i am trying to set a static ip using /etc/network/interface but now I am getting very slow or intermittent connection. does anyone know how to fix this? [20:01] BluesKaj_: heck maybe gparted might show it listed as well. . .;) [20:02] binary01: why not set the static IP with the host rather than the client? [20:02] Ashu4PIAA [20:02] slicktux, yeah it could be /dev/sdb, since this whole drive is sda [20:02] binary01: Sure the ip is not in use elsewhere on the net? [20:02] BluesKaj_: hdparm -I /dev/sdb will tell ya... becarefull with hdparm though [20:03] slicktux, gparted doesn't show it at all [20:03] BluesKaj_: ya shure? you click the drop down menue? [20:03] slicktux, ls /dev/sd* lists a /dev/sdb [20:03] okay, so the version of apache (2.2.21) isn't availble in trusty repos. What do I need to do to be able to install it? Enable a different releases repos? If so, is that a horrible idea and there is a better method I should use? [20:04] BluesKaj_: then that might be it. try hdparm -I /dev/sdb and at the top it will tell ya [20:04] abadygle: yes there are no other connections using that ip [20:04] yeah there's no drop down, slicktux [20:04] apb1963_: I would start at ' /forcefsck ' see what it has to say ,, and progressivly get the more aggresive as the need 'may' arise . [20:09] is there some sort of software that'll create effects for videos and stuff? sorry, noob question. [20:10] binary01 - output of ifconfig? as someone else asked, any reason you're not setting the static ip at the host? [20:11] is there a way we could limit folder size? [20:11] i mean a folder size should not exceed [20:11] quote [20:11] quota* [20:14] hola [20:14] Sagar: take a look here http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialQuotas.html [20:15] slicktux, ill try that but what could be causing the OS to do that? [20:15] i can't get any of the monitors connected to my 2nd video card to turn on [20:16] 2x nvidia gtx 950 [20:16] nvidia drivers intalled [20:17] binary01: to be honest I don't know; could be anything from the network services running in the router trying to associate an IP address with yer mac address and yer PC telling it no use this IP addresss.. . .only way to really know is to look at logs. . .I'm not proficient at networking, but it does make sense to set up a static with the host rather than the client. [20:23] slicktux, thanks for your help [20:28] Hi, i'm not sure if this is the right place to answer my question, but here it is: whats the way to go to download and install get-pip.py in a one-liner in bash? i've tried 'curl -sSL https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python' but that doesn't work === anderson_ is now known as Guest27739 [20:30] 1 [20:30] Bashing-om: It gets as far as "Stopping System V runlevel compatibility" and then just sits... [20:31] appeltabak, just a guess......wget http:s//..... | python get-pip.py [20:32] appeltabak: #bash is a better place... but you might try python `curl -sSL https:...` Note the back quotes [20:32] appeltabak: why wouldn't you just install pip? [20:33] appeltabak: probably #python, but installing seems more usual with apt-get install python-pip or (python3-pip) [20:35] nacc: as stated by the docs, it´s the recommend way, as version of pip in the repositories is often outdated [20:35] apb1963_ backticks are now replaced by $[foo] [20:35] apb1963_ backticks are now replaced by $(foo) <-- correction [20:36] apb1963_: 16.04 ?? then yeah systemd does not do upstart scripts . [20:36] th0r: eeh, 'wget' with certain options? otherwise, i've tried that and didn' work [20:36] appeltabak: uh, *maybe* true -- but i don't think most people have any problem with it. And if you did have an actual problem with the distribution version, file a bug. === apb1963_ is now known as apb_away === apb_away is now known as apb1963_ [20:42] Bashing-om: no. 14.04 [20:42] is it possible to run six monitors on ubuntu with 2 video cards without xinerama ? [20:43] Bashing-om: And I don't know what you're referencing. [20:43] appeltabak: what "docs"? [20:44] jwhisnant: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/ [20:44] appeltabak: don't those same docs say not use it if you're using a distro-provided python? [20:46] apb1963_: Activat a terminal in 14.04 ( upstart as the init system ) and execute ' sudo touch /forcedsck ' ; ' sudo shutdown -r now ' . A file system check should now be conducted upon the new boot up . [20:46] appeltabak: the usual thing to do is create a virtualenv and do development there; and upgrade the pip in your virtualenv using pip - it is likely to even provide the specific command [20:47] forcefsck* [20:47] Greetings oh holders of knowledge! :) I am having trouble upgrading my Ubuntu to the latest. I have an error msg. [20:48] jwhisnant: thats right, my routine is to install pip and subsequently install virtualenv using pip [20:48] appeltabak, I am not inclined to install it, but wget without options just fetched that file from the command line in a terminal [20:49] Homely_Girl: what is the message (perhaps use a pastebin) [20:49] nacc, It's not a lot "required depends not installed" [20:49] jwhisnant: because i thought that virtualenv needs pip globbally installed [20:50] Homely_Girl: that is probably not the entire message. Please pastebin the exact command used and the resulting output. === plato is now known as Guest84021 [20:51] appeltabak: not required, but probably easiest. why do you want a one-liner bash install? is that the end goal or do you just want the latest pip version? [20:51] nacc, I was not doing this from command level but following a prompt on booting up to upgrade. I will use the pastebin to show you my screen shot [20:51] !pastebin [20:51] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

Sorry I've not done any of this for a while! [20:54] Newbie question: is x11vnc only used to share a physical screen? (My Linux laptop has a 1366x768 screen and I want a larger desktop when remotely accessing it) [20:55] Homely_Girl: it was in the !pastebin help (use imgur) [20:56] nacc, Thanks, I'll look into this tmr I think, is getting late 'n I frustrated with myself :( [20:56] nacc, Thanks anyways [20:58] AFK for a few minutes, but will check in when I come back. Thanks! [20:59] jwhisnant: i know, it's a overkill approach but i'm using it i a bash script to fetch the latest release [20:59] jwhisnant: and i think this should work ;) [20:59] appeltabak: ok. good luck. [21:00] jwhisnant: ty [21:07] Hey guys. Are there any good sites like distrowatch, but for linux Apps? [21:07] Or even like macupdate.com as a better example. [21:08] hey all - I inherited a Trusty image that I am now curating - the previous owner set the boot up process to be completely silent - just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner - no startup script output at all - I can't for the life of me determine where it's set to silent - grub? somewhere else? [21:09] any input / ideas / pointers - gratefully appreciated - would like to see what the hell the systems are doing on startup/shutdown ... [21:09] hello [21:09] :) [21:09] zero_shane: Yes...in grub [21:10] downloaded this : Downloading vlc-2.2.4.tar.xz [21:10] then did ./configure [21:10] and then tried ¨make¨ [21:10] make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. [21:10] tekisui: You know that VLC is part of the software packages for Ubuntu, right? [21:11] yes [21:12] tekisui: Being that you're "compiling from the source tarballs", that would be a question to ask either in the #vlc channels, or look through the wiki on the vlc site for specific information pertaining to compiling from the sources... [21:13] @YankDownUnder - I've been throug /etc/default/grub /boot/grub/grub.cfg - and can't identify the offending setting - any input on the settings that I'm missing?? [21:13] http://pastebin.com/QqJzBAXr [21:14] ubuntu is OpenSuSE ? [21:14] ok. [21:16] zero_shane: Firstly, the "GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true" can be commented out... [21:16] copy that [21:19] hello, do you know about password kerying? how to change password, disable it, sort setup it [21:19] Capum321: usually that is the same as the users pw === nathanleclaire_ is now known as nathanleclaire [21:19] no, it's something else. [21:19] nothing to do with my user pass [21:20] on a regular ubuntu setup that is. what ubuntu and what desktop do you use? [21:20] zero_shane: When you're AT the grub "menu" during boot, you can directly edit the default entry...(or any entry, really)...and I'll assume from looking through the paste that "Appliance System" is the default? [21:20] k1l_: lts 16.04 [21:20] correct [21:20] did you change your users password? [21:20] k1l it first prompted when I started working with svn in terminal [21:21] zero_shane: If you've got a few minutes, you might want to read through this: http://www.howtogeek.com/196655/how-to-configure-the-grub2-boot-loaders-settings/ [21:21] and it's not the svn host pw either [21:21] doeiiiiiiiii [21:21] Capum321: that is a svn issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/206604/svn-and-gnome-keyring [21:22] ubuntu drives me #%⁶555 but hell the sound is working :DD [21:25] hi [21:27] I need some help...im running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS...when i connect my computer to my tv via hdmi it stops saying "no signal"...but the screen appears black still...ive been to many forums and googled it and everything...they told me to install many software and yes i have been in my display menus and tried many options...i don't understand last time i hooked up it worked perfectly fine [21:28] lone-genius: Something to try - install "arandr" => run it when you've got the tellie plugged in, see if that allows you to configure the TV as an output device. [21:29] alredy installed it [21:29] lone-genius: And you've run it whilst the tellie is plugged in...hmm? [21:30] how do i use it??? [21:30] k1l_:### Set password stores used by Subversion. The order of values determines the order in which password stores are used. Valid password stores: 1.gnome-keyring 2. gpg-agent # password-stores = gpg-agent,gnome-keyring,kwallet . Where is stored this password? [21:30] ive been through many settings and everything??? [21:30] also looked on google [21:33] lone-genius: Firstly, start the program. You should see two displays in the "window" => you can drag them to be either side by side or overlaying - or whatever...you can "right click" on a particular display and change it's function and resolution. Try that? [21:34] k1l ok, it's gnome keyring [21:34] Capum321: what desktop do you use? [21:34] Capum321: so [21:35] lxde [21:35] nope [21:35] lone-genius: I smarter than you [21:36] when i did it, it moved my scrren and if i dragged my mouse over it was like i had an extra screen however it did not show it on the tv [21:36] i was not appliying that i was supurior [21:36] see im bad at spelling lol [21:36] Capum321: the experiences say you need to make that line: " password-stores =". [21:36] lone-genius: what video card and what driver? [21:36] Capum321: what? [21:37] i see, but i would like to remove as it seems to be a daemon? [21:37] it had worked before on this same tv last week [21:37] lone-genius: What desktop are you using? [21:37] YankDownUnder: kde [21:37] laptop...HP [21:37] notebook [21:37] Capum321: first try to edit the ~/.subversion/config [21:38] pingpin: please keep this channel clear for helpful support. thanks [21:39] can anyone help me out??? [21:39] lone-genius: I meant what "desktop environment"...like Unity or XFce or whatever? [21:39] UBUNTU 16.04 LTS [21:39] srry didnt mean the caps [21:39] lone-genius: what video card and what driver? [21:39] !nouveau [21:39] nouveau is an open-source nvidia driver included by default since Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, 3D rendering is only partially supported. More information can be found at http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/ | See !nvidia for the closed-source Nvidia driver. [21:39] idk...but it did work lastweek on the same tv with the same hdmi [21:40] lone-genius, did you check the FN key for internal/external screen [21:40] idk what that is OerHeks [21:40] lone-genius: "my car is broken" "what car do you have?" "it worked last week" :) [21:40] lone-genius: we can only guess to help you if you dont answer the questions for facts :) [21:40] drivers and video cards dont change over week [21:40] most laptops have a FN key + a row with special commands, depends on what laptop [21:41] k1l it's gone now... [21:41] lone-genius: maybe there was an update or there is a known bug. but if you dont want to tell it, then supporters will have to guess. [21:42] i alredy updated and upgradded it via terminal and restarted my computer [21:42] lone-genius, consider installing proprietary nvidia drivers and also getting a brand new kernel, http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/install-linux-kernel-4-6-ubuntu-16-04/ [21:42] Hey guys, can I install gedit 3.18 from Xenial in Trusty (using gedit 3.10) ?? Not sure it it somehow [21:43] penguim: not recommended [21:43] nacc +1 [21:43] penguim: dont mix ubuntu releases. that doesnt work due to depencies [21:43] Your password can only be stored to disk unencrypted! You are advised to configure your system so that Subversion can store passwords encrypted, if possible. See the documentation for details. -> it's is referring the man pages? [21:45] k1l_, is it a daemon service after all?

[21:46] sudo dpkg -i *.deb [21:46] and still nothing??!?!?! [21:47] lone-genius: don't spam the channel, please [21:47] lone-genius: use a pastebin for multiple lines [21:47] thats got a higher level of clarity now [21:48] changing to an unstable kernel and guessing to install some nvidia driver is very vague, imho [21:48] k1l_: +1 [21:48] k1l_: +1 [21:49] you better check the manual of your laptop for that FN key [21:49] hello, i have a sony vaio laptop that i just installed ubuntu 14.04 on, and i can't figure out how to get wi-fi set up on it [21:49] hey nacc, gpg not good, need some on the fly encrypt/decrypt [21:49] Capum321: i see, I don't know much about that, sorry :/ [21:49] i can find drivers from the sony website, but they say they're for windows [21:50] nacc, i should search those keywords and see what they have for me [21:50] stoopkid: which line in "lspci" is the wifi card? can you show it here?

[21:52] penguim: so maybe there is a 3.18 PPA for 14.04 [21:52] it's locked to trusty LTS [21:53] don't mess with company laptops. [21:53] lol [21:53] stoopkid: what is the output of "uname -a"?

[22:35] then why the name syslog.1 and not syslog.log [22:35] both show blank screens [22:35] when i know there should be somethign there [22:35] syslog.1 is archive version where as syslog.log is current [22:36] how do i read the syslog.1 [22:36] nano showed nothing [22:36] k1l_: OerHeks: fwiw, this is waht `vlc --version` says in 16.04: VLC version 2.2.2 Weatherwax (2.2.2-0-g6259d80) [22:36] just checked in a fresh 16.04 container [22:36] nacc: yeah [22:37] so probably the -5 is a debian versioning, and the -0 is maybe upstream(ish)? dunno for sure without digging into it more [22:37] ssc_, i see it here now, strange, you do have 2.2.2-5 ... === _VXx- is now known as _vxx === _vxx is now known as _VXx === _VXx is now known as _VXx- [22:38] OerHeks: I got it but how to change it now :D === _VXx- is now known as _VXx [22:38] ssc_, maybe this helps: clean the ~/.config/vlc folder and restart vlc? [22:39] ssc_: after that start "vlc" from a terminal and see what error it shows there. [22:39] OerHeks: Cleaned and still nothing, same error [22:39] I'm looking for a server like picapport that can also save tags in the metadata like exiftool [22:40] k1l_: http://pastebin.com/QcaFC5SG [22:40] Web browser gallery which saves tags given to a picture in the files and not a db [22:40] mr_Ghost: My system " -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 95391 Sep 7 17:17 syslog " : ' less /var/log/syslog ' to view .

(not fullscreen, just centralized) [22:48] I don't care what software ... but like picapport a Web gallery with tags. .. but those should be written to the files ... so they are not dependend on the db OerHeks [22:48] ssc_: i dont find any others having that issue. did you change the kernel, or change something with libstdc++? [22:49] As per my knowledge, no. But I usually do not care much while updating my system, so probably this is a lesson for me :D [22:49] ssc_, what issue you are having?
