[00:02] I was able to boot into recover mode and fix it so nomodeset does work now [00:04] Bray90820_: K; and what does the package manager say about the status of the driver ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-intel ' ? [00:08] Bashing-om: www.termbin.com/okf3 [00:10] i dont like that thing, but you could try the intel driver installer thingy and see if that helps [00:10] k1l: what internet driver?

( from recovery will have to remount the file sytem r/w ) . [00:19] Bray90820_: Bashing-om might be worth to look at what is going wrong when nomodeset is not used. [00:19] look into syslog and xorg log after a boot without nomodeset [00:20] k1l: Most assuredly ! .. as nomodeset is a killer . [00:20] Hmm, is it this ibus-daemon?

[01:43] yeah [01:44] How do I get an Ubuntu installer to stop trying to, right after booting, fix the Windows partition that I'm going to overwrite? It never gets to the menu. [01:45] Rarrikins, fix how? [01:45] Are there known issues with ubuntu 16.04 & minecraft? I'm trying to figure out what's to blame, but the mouse goes un-reponsive if the meta key is hit and unity pops up while the game is going. or if the machine locks due to inactivity and gets unlocked. The only way to get the mouse back so far is reboot. Which is awful IMO. [01:45] kyle__, killing minecraft doesn't free the mouse? [01:45] lordcirth: It says "The file system wasn't safely closed on Windows. Fixing." This is before the first menu comes up. [01:46] Rarrikins, too early to switch to a tty/ [01:46] ?* [01:46] lordcirth: Yes. [01:46] lordcirth: Nope. It doesn't bring the mouse back. Nor does forcing a logout. If there was a way to disable unity from popping up on the windows-key while the game was running, it woulnd't fix it, but at least it would keep it from occuring (as much) [01:47] Rarrikins, it hangs on that message? [01:48] Rarrikins: Fast boot enabled in Windows ? Then is marked as in use , and ubuntu will not touch it . [01:48] Hi, I am currently using ubuntu 16.04 in a vm. I uninstalled an app called "slack" using apt-get and found that the graphics of my ubuntu went dull. I rebooted and found that my ubuntu is booting into recover mode. [01:48] Any suggestions? [01:48] Bashing-om: Ubuntu is touching it. Note the message. [01:48] guys, I'm having some weird problem with mpv. when opening a full screen video computer won't take input from mouse or keyboard, ill be stuck at mpv [01:48] lordcirth: Every 120 seconds, it says that task kworker/u4:6:113 blocked for more than 120 seconds. [01:49] I still can access console mode and kill session from there, though [01:49] keepguessing, that's strange. What driver are you supposed to be using? See if it's still installed. [01:49] lordcirth: how do I check that? [01:50] keepguessing, actually, just read /var/log/apt/history.log to see what apt-get uninstalled that it shouldn't have. [01:52] lordcirth: it seemed to have removed "a ton of things" [01:52] Am I correct in assuming if it was an actual mouse connect & disconnect that it would show in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [01:52] i see python 3.5 and python 2.6 minimal [01:52] keepguessing, well, reinstall the important bits [01:53] Probably just everything except slack [01:53] kyle__, it should for sure show up in dmesh [01:53] dmesg* [01:54] lordcirth: OK. So then it's not an actual mouse-disconnecting & reconnecting, so easy answer gone. === NDPTAL86 is now known as NDPTAl85 === NDPTAl85 is now known as NDPTAL85 [01:55] Hrum. OK. The behavior is slightly different than I reported. The mouse pointer stays, but can't click anything in unity, or in minecraft after I get back. I can see it, it can't click === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [01:58] killing minecraft leaves the display of it up, and I can switch to and from it as if the application were still running, however the process is gone. [01:58] kyle__, are you running minecraft fullscreen? Try windowed [01:59] lordcirth: yeah, it's running fullscreen. [01:59] Trying again windowed. [01:59] anyone been into the darkweb [02:00] MrBlue, I don't think that's on topic here. [02:00] I thought java applications basically made a screen-sized window for fullscreen graphics? Or is my knowledge really really old? [02:00] lol [02:00] kyle__, I have no idea about java specifically. But I know many fullscreen programs do special things that grab more control than a full-size window [02:00] MrBlue: You realize that means anything that can't be indexed by a public search-engine, right? [02:02] kyle__, that's deep web [02:02] lordcirth: Hum. There appears to be something to that theory. Same actions in windowed do not lock out the mouse. [02:02] although the terms are often conflated [02:02] Ahh, deep dark. For some reason I just conflagurate those two things. [02:02] dark-web == private networks? [02:02] yeee [02:03] it a network that it not govern by google or or anything [02:03] kyle__, dark web is, eg, Tor [02:03] i dont think much people go in there [02:03] However, it's not on topic here, I think, unless you're having Ubuntu-specific problems with it? [02:03] true [02:04] how u guy likeing ubuntu [02:04] vs the other [02:04] kinux [02:04] linux [02:04] MrBlue, well, we must like it, or we wouldn't be here [02:04] Ah. I've browsed a few security forums on tor, (from an ubuntu box if it helps for on-topic). It was pretty much the same sort of folks who post to security & exploit forums on the rest of the internet, but with more tin-foil. [02:05] true true [02:06] OK. Thanks lordcirth. Looks like this is either a minecraft issue, or a java-8 issue. I might have to *spit* try Oracle's JRE to see if it helps. [02:06] night all. [02:06] good night [02:06] Stay off the the NSA's radar MrBlue, keep that tinfoil attached... [02:10] hello [02:10] where are you frome ?

(nvidia driver on Unity) [04:19] I would prefer to get it working without tho if I can because it does boot without it sometimes [04:20] Bray90820_: Ouch that say there is a possibility of a hard drive issue . Can not find the root file system to start the system .. is this a standard ext4 install ? [04:21] Bashing-om: that actually points to something that I'm thinking [04:21] maker_man: you can pin packages [04:22] Bashing-om: I have been telling everyone all day that I wanna try this but they keep telling me there is no way in hell it could be the issue [04:22] http://pastebin.com/raw/WpiRc4zc [04:22] eric^^ - how? [04:22] maker_man: apt-mark hold , i believe [04:22] perfect... didnt think of that [04:22] will man it up and see what i can see [04:22] thanks! [04:23] Bashing-om: my grub is a bit different so i don't really know what I am doing with it [04:23] maker_man: no problem [04:23] Bray90820_: Want to run a quick file system check .. ?? [04:23] to see if the HDD is good? [04:23] hat do you think is quicker trying the pastebin to the hard drive check [04:24] Do you think the pqstebin is quicker or checking the hard drive is quicker [04:25] Bashing-om: Because I really think everything I have found points to the pastebin being the answer [04:26] Hi all. [04:26] Bray90820_: At this point I want that EriC^^ checks the GPT boot files . He is the guru of booting . Then we see if a file system check is still warrented . [04:27] So first eric will do the pastebin or we will check the hard drive? [04:27] How can I automate the installation process from iso image of ubuntu. I mean without user input? [04:27] Please help. [04:28] What's the best way of moving the home directory in 16.04? I want the home directory in my second hdd (in ntfs, is also used as the home directory in my W10) [04:28] Bray90820_: 1st up is to sweet talk EriC^^ into checking the boot files . [04:28] xD [04:28] openstack-br [04:28] #openstack-br [04:28] I think we should do the past bin honestly [04:28] Why no one wants to is a mystery to me [04:29] *Pastebin [04:29] I just installed kde plasma. Would it be normal to install compiz in plasma, or is that redundant? [04:30] Bray90820_: do you have a live usb? [04:30] EriC^^: I do [04:31] try booting it up and we can check the filesystem and other stuff, maybe see the logs too and the pastebin you put above [04:32] eric I can boot to the hard drive if that would be better [04:32] EriC^^: [04:32] ok sure [04:32] anyone have issues with dell laptops when they go to sleep - then wake up - the video is all effed up? ive tried changing drivers and everything still same thing - using nvidia right now [04:32] Bray90820_: actually no [04:32] boot the USB? [04:32] prior to this - had archlinux on this machine without this issue... but on a few dell laptops i own - all different they all have the same issues... all nvidia cards [04:32] Bray90820_: we need it to be mounted read-only for the filesystem check [04:32] yeah [04:33] I won't have internet if that's OK? [04:33] np [04:33] we'll do that quickly then do the rest from the actual install === NameNick is now known as Guest30784 [04:34] EriC^^: If it matters this is one of those 23bit UEFI system with a 64bit processors [04:34] apaul, I believe what you are looking for is the OEM install [04:35] Bray90820_: ok [04:35] EriC^^: Bray90820_ From that last paste, grub hands off to the kernel .. and the kernel says nuts to grub . [04:39] hey guys, how do I quickly flip my screen across the y axis [04:39] Bray90820_: any particular reason you're running 4.8 kernel? [04:39] EriC^^: Audio issues which prevent me from using an older kernel [04:39] is the Startup Disk Creator only for usbs, or can it do a dvd somehow too? [04:40] EriC^^: https://github.com/burzumishi/linux-baytrail-flexx10/blob/master/README.md [04:40] !oem | apaul [04:40] apaul: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways.

See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [04:40] What's the best way of moving the home directory in 16.04? I want the home directory in my second hdd (in ntfs, is also used as the home directory in my W10) [04:41] docgi, bad idea [04:41] figured it out [04:41] why [04:41] nvm [04:41] windows is quite likely to frack the ubuntu files docgi [04:41] EriC^^: It turns out the USB does the same thing as the install [04:43] what if i just use symlinks on documents, downloads, music etc pointing to docs,downloads, music etc on my W10? [04:43] will that work fine [04:43] Bray90820_: aha [04:44] EriC^^: Aha What :P [04:44] Bray90820_: EriC^^ we look'n at 32 bit on a UEFI machine ? Hard row to hoe if so ! [04:44] Bashing-om: Yes [04:45] grub resure in VirtulBox ， how to slove it? [04:45] Bray90820_: think cfhowlett has the skinny on that situation . [04:45] eh whot m8? [04:46] Bray90820_: well lots of stuff :P [04:46] docgi, preferable to actually mixing the /home [04:46] Bray90820_: did you add that pstates kernel parameter to your /etc/default/grub file? [04:46] cfhowlett, will the hdd be automatically mounted? [04:46] docgi, you can set it up. beyond my skills but someone else will know. [04:47] EriC^^: I did not [04:47] alright thanks [04:47] happy2help! docgi [04:47] cfhowlett: Booting ubuntu .. in a 32 bit CPU (atom) . for Bray90820_ [04:47] Bray90820_: i think you're supposed to do that unless i misunderstoof [04:47] *d [04:47] ohhhhhhhhhhh ... last I check it is doable. [04:48] EriC^^: So what should I do from this point? [04:48] Bray90820_: in the part that says Bootloader (grub) .... "And edit the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT exactly as we did before" [04:48] Bray90820_: try to boot the usb with nomodeset [04:48] then first run the filesystem check and stuff since the kernel couldn't mount stuff earlier, maybe run a smart check to see the hdd health too [04:50] Bray90820_: did you add that workaround for "CPU C-states issue with the internal eMMC" ? [04:50] it says .."This issue causes instability during mmc data operations, leading possibly to data loss and file system corruption" [04:51] I did not [04:51] I don't really even know why that means [04:51] But first things first [04:51] Hard drive check [04:52] What should I do after boot === akira is now known as Guest89242 [04:54] EriC^^: What should I do after boot to usb [04:55] You should install Ubuntu [04:56] i got disconnected [04:56] It's ok [04:56] So what should i do after I boot to usb [04:57] Im running Ubuntu server 14.04, I had about 100days uptime, the server reset itself for some reason, now when I try to run 'zpool status' I get the following: http://codepad.org/yoLGvTJU [04:57] jeffrey3234, consider asking the experts #ubuntu-server [04:57] try sudo parted -l to get the list of partitions [04:58] zfs kernel modules are not loaded [04:58] http://paste.debian.net/820377/ [04:58] anybody currently using this IRC in EMACS [04:58] cfhowlett thanks [04:58] bestofluck jeffrey3234 [04:59] EriC^^: Error: /dev/mmcblk0rpmb: unrecognized disk label === y is now known as Guest87584 === Guest87584 is now known as Guest87586 [05:01] Bray90820_: other than that anything? [05:02] I just entered ignored and it lists my partitions [05:04] EriC^^: So what next [05:09] Bray90820_: how many ext partitions do you see? [05:09] EriC^^: 1 [05:10] EriC^^: Should the ext partition have a boot flag? [05:10] Bray90820_: no [05:11] Ok don't listen to me then [05:11] Bray90820_: get the name of it and do sudo fsck /dev/mmc... [05:12] That was really really fast [05:12] It says clean [05:13] Bray90820_, sudo fsck /dev/mmc... | nc termbin.com 9999 for the paste [05:13] No internet can't [05:13] doh. sorry. [05:16] I accidently deleted /home/ through the command line, how do I restore all of the files that were in it? Yes, this is serious. [05:16] !recover | mint_, [05:16] mint_,: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [05:17] cfhowlett: EriC^^ http://pastebin.com/raw/8ipJRGBb [05:17] mint_, pro-tip ... get off the damaged system now. every write/read to that storage medium will overwrite whatever recoverable data might still reside [05:17] Bray90820_: ok try booting the actual install now [05:18] mint_: one thing not mentioned at that link is very valuable [05:18] cfhowlett: I am doing this from a live CD [05:18] I am speaking from a liveCD [05:18] mint_: deleted files being used by a process can be recovered [05:18] mint_: but it sounds like you already turned off the system? [05:18] after deleting the files [05:19] Hoffman: I had to turn it off to read, for fonts would not show up & my browsers stopped working [05:19] mint_: ah sorry, in that case my way would not work, but another way might [05:19] I basically deleted / [05:20] impressive [05:20] mint_: for what it's worth, next time, you can run lsof | grep filename [05:20] did you do something to /sda that you meant to do to /sdb? [05:21] to get the file descriptor of a deleted file being used by a process [05:21] then using the file descriptor and the pid, you can recover the file [05:21] Hoffman: it would have been impossible to remember the names of thousands of files [05:21] olscumpy: Basically [05:22] EriC^^: Booted with nomodeset now [05:22] mint_: maybe not to remember the important ones [05:22] Bray90820_: try sudo nano /etc/default/grub [05:22] mint_: is this a laptop? [05:22] Desktop & all of the files were important [05:22] EriC^^: I prefer edit but same difference [05:23] mint_: sorry for your loss, good luck recovering [05:23] Bray90820_: all good [05:23] SO what should I do tot he file [05:24] check your lost+found dir for backups [05:24] mint_, *perhaps an idiotic question at this juncture but ...* you DID back up before you started nuking partitions? right? [05:24] Bray90820_: in the line that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT add intel_pstates=disabled [05:24] general question - are there any telnet bbs software titles out there for linux? something like renegade, oblivion, wildcat or whatever [05:24] Bray90820_: also intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstates=disabled [05:25] cfhowlett: That wasn't what I was actually trying to do, I was trying to install packettracer for school, & told it to install it into my home partition, I did not realize it would delete all of the files in my home partition. [05:25] so just the lower one [05:25] check your lost+found Dir for backups [05:25] EriC^^: Should I remove splash quiet [05:25] Bray90820_: nah [05:25] mint_, o ... m ... g .... [05:25] theta: in crowded channels, it helps to say the persons name first. that way their client usually beeps and highlights that message so they dont miss it [05:26] theta: all of the advise tells me to not even mount the partition. [05:26] EriC^^: can you pastebin what it should be? [05:26] cfhowlett: So...thoughts? [05:27] Bray90820_: "quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstates=disabled" [05:27] mint: you could always use fdisk to partition the drive so you CAN create a backup for the files you DO have. [05:27] theta: I have none, it deleted all of them! [05:27] mint_, write a scathing letter to packettracer. remove your hdd. take it to your local forensic recovery service. pay big $$$. [05:28] mint: was there anything in your lost+found Dir? [05:28] theta you & Hoffman are not helping. Theta, I told you, I will not be mounting that partition, so I cannot look. [05:29] mint: you're sol [05:29] mint_, that is a most unfriendly install scenario. packettracer should have flashed red lights and played the annoying star trek collision alert klaxon before undertaking the action. [05:29] mint_: I asked followup questions to see if I could help, told you I could not, and said good luck [05:30] Hoffman: Yes you did, & I am thankful for your kindness, I am just letting theta know to stop trying to help. [05:30] mint_: I am sorry that you are having trouble, but it is impolite to tell someone "you are not helping" when you are asking people to donate their time and expertise to you [05:30] EriC^^: Done [05:31] mint_: the recovery page on the ubuntu wiki looks legit though [05:31] Hoffman: I told theta that what they were suggesting (look in lost & found) would not work, & they suggested it a second time. [05:31] mint_: o [05:31] k* [05:31] mint_, calm down. we know you're upset. let's move on. [05:31] Bray90820_: save then type sudo update-grub [05:32] in my experience, telling someone to calm down usually has exactly the opposite effect :P [05:32] Hoffman: I am reading the wiki page <3 [05:32] mint_: photorec can recover stuff, but it won't have filenames or dir structures [05:33] EriC^^: Indeed, I need all of that stuff back if possible. I mean isn't ext4 a journalling system? [05:33] mint_: did it actually delete the files, or delete the partition? or a new filesystem there? wasn't following before [05:33] It deleted the files, not the partition [05:33] journalling just means it keeps a record of something like "copy from here to here" then it later does it and marks it as done [05:34] EriC^^, a cisco app, packettracer, deleted his /home before installing itself. apparently without warning. [05:34] cfhowlett: indeed [05:34] try photorec first, also be sure not to mount the partition obviously [05:34] Won't I need to mount it to try photorec? [05:34] no [05:35] it will sweep stuff on a low level looking for file headers and copy the files it finds on the disk [05:35] EriC^^: Done [05:35] What next [05:35] EriC^^: I only have one computer, this one, the one with the deleted home directory. [05:35] so you'll end up with a bunch of files with random names but they're everything on the disk [05:35] (you can tell if to look for specific file headers) [05:36] EriC^^: I am communicating through a liveCD [05:36] mint_: well use photorec to recover the important files you need, like all movies or all pictures or .. as a start i'd say [05:36] EriC^^: How about text documents, odt? [05:36] Bray90820_: try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade for good measure [05:37] mint_: yeah it should be able to get those [05:37] sudo apt-get install testdisk then run sudo photorec [05:37] EriC^^: So is photorec included on the ubuntu liveCD? [05:37] mint_: Install it on the liveCD? [05:38] mint_: it doesn't look like it has odt by default, but you can feed it the file headers as a custom one [05:38] EriC^^: Done what next [05:38] mint_: yeah it's in the universe repository [05:38] Bray90820_: upload a pastebin of /var/log/syslog and kern.log [05:39] trying to format a 40 gb hd using a usb to ide/pata adapter and failing miserably.. [05:40] pata/sata? [05:40] EriC^^: Do you think I should image it & work from the image? [05:40] I mean work with the image [05:40] mint_: yeah that'd be better [05:40] EriC^^: Can I do that from the standard liveCD? [05:40] I am having a hard time trying to get seamless mode to work with ubuntu [05:41] mint_: yeah [05:41] sata/ide/pata..? [05:41] cfhowlett, yes..? [05:41] I have three monitors running, and the guest systerm (ubuntu) keeps flashing, and logging me out when I try going to system settings [05:41] mint_: using dd, sudo dd if=/dev/sdxY of=/path/to/image [05:41] EriC^^: Is there any way I can get it to restore with the files names & directory structure? [05:42] mint_: using dd, sudo dd if=/dev/sdxY of=/path/to/image bs=4M conv=notrunc [05:42] hey all [05:42] EriC^^: syslog: www.termbin.com/o6s4 [05:42] kern.log: www.termbin.com/bw2i [05:42] mint_: that's a little difficult i think, testdisk will show you the file structure and directories, the files might not be recoverable from there though [05:43] Just installed 16.04 and have a notification showing Ethernet network disconnected. I am on WiFi and do not have a cable connected. I did install VmWare Work Station 12.1.1 [05:44] how can I check why this msg is popping up? dmesg? [05:44] mint_: there are some tools for ext like scalpel and others that might work [05:44] cfhowlett, ? [05:45] vmwaretools installed? [05:45] glitchd, error messages on the fial?? [05:45] fail? [05:45] i suppose if testdisk still shows the filesizes, somebody could write a program that checks the filesizes photorec gives and arrange the files in a somewhat similar way to how the structure is in testdisk dunno why it's not done though [05:45] i guess if there are a lot of files of the same size it's not so practical [05:45] I am having a hard time trying to get seamless mode to work with ubuntu. I have multiple monitors running, and the guest systerm (ubuntu) keeps flashing, and logging me out when I try going to system settings Always see an erros such as "Could not set configuration for CRTC 6x" [05:45] cfhowlett, let me see what it says [05:45] vmware tools is installed on the virtual machines. The network error message comes up when VmWare Workstation is shutdown [05:46] cfhowlett, basically just keeps freezing up [05:46] Bray90820_: ok please upload /boot/grub/grub.cfg [05:46] cfhowlett, gparted freezes too [05:46] Bray90820_: it looks like it's booting the 4.4.0-36 kernel [05:47] cfhowlett, used gparted to format it, and now its saying the the partition table is gone and that i need to make a new one but when i attempt to make a new partition table, gparted freezes [05:47] EriC^^: www.termbin.com/3qw8 [05:48] cfhowlett, havent used the hd for a lil more than a year, just left it in a unused pc i have. [05:48] but now im trying to use it and its not working so out so well [05:48] im thinking the hd is trash now but dont want to toss it if i can recover and use it [05:48] Bray90820_: ok, a quick "grep DEFAULT /etc/default/grub" gives what? [05:49] Bray90820_: GRUB_DEFAULT=0 ? [05:50] cfhowlett, i just check dmesg, there are a shit load of error messages about the drive. dang. [05:50] EriC^^: Okay I have read up on scalpel, cfhowlett Do you recommend it too? & can I really do it from the liveCD? Where does scalpel get installed when I install it onto a liveCD? [05:50] cfhowlett, i think its gone the way of the flip phone.. [05:51] EriC^^: www.termbin.com/lzpe [05:52] Bray90820_: ok, try lastly sudo update-initramfs -u -k all [05:53] mint_: it stays in memory until the next reboot [05:54] does anyone know how to turn on bluetooth using command line on ubuntu? thanks [05:54] Bray90820_: try dpkg -l | grep grub [05:55] hey guys, did you hear? Ubuntu 12.04 is on the age of extinction! :D [05:55] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/09/ubuntu-torrent-removed-google-infringing-transformers-movie === john is now known as Guest48565 [05:56] liuxg, https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582551 [05:56] freeroute: i remember many years ago either CentOS or Ubuntu (i forget which) ISO's would get flagged as being "credit card data" [05:56] freeroute, take it over to #ubuntu-offtopic please. this is the support channel. [05:56] EriC^^: www.termbin.com/jbar [05:56] freeroute: by the card-holder-data tools we were forced to use as part of being PCI compliant [05:57] lel [05:57] cfhowlett: k didn't know of that channel [05:57] freeroute, bye. [05:57] well I'm still here but I joined there too [05:57] glitchd, thanks! I will have a try. [05:57] freeroute, if your not here for help, or to help, leave. [05:58] Does that include people who are only here to tell people they are off-topic? They are not helping, or asking for help. [05:58] freeroute, and the phrase is "on the EDGE of extinction". [05:58] Bray90820_: ok try sudo grub-install --target i386-efi [05:58] glitchd: wat. You can perfectly be here and idle instead of helping / get help. [05:59] yeah but that wouldn't be funny since that's not what the movie is called [05:59] Or it's like when my 5 year old "helps" me with the car, but is really putting the socket i was just using in the garden [05:59] EriC^^: Finished with no errors [05:59] freeroute, but you shouldnt be here posting silly links to ficticious and false sites. nobody wants to read or hear that. [05:59] glitchd, the command sudo service bluetooth start does not seem to work. it cannot turn on the bluetooth device. [06:00] Bray90820_: ok try rebooting [06:00] liuxg, do you know what the name of the device that controls bluetooth is? [06:00] glitchd: It's a thing that happened involging ubuntu? It's not silly or ficitious? [06:00] EriC^^: scalpel's list doesn't include odt files, mkv files, or webm files, how do I recover those? [06:00] glitchd: yeah duly noted but saying you can only be here if you want help or get help is very much not the case. [06:00] EriC^^: Should it boot normally now? [06:01] no idea :D [06:01] glitchd, sorry, I do not quite get you. [06:01] Bray90820_: ^ [06:01] EriC^^: Is that what we're testing? [06:01] freeroute, i suppose, but still, in the midst of people trying to get support and or give support, your posting links to silly material. [06:01] mint_: try photorec 's custom headers [06:01] Bray90820_: yeah [06:01] Well boot 1 passed [06:01] glitchd: yep that's why I'm in #ubuntu-offtopic now [06:02] mint_: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/Add_your_own_extension_to_PhotoRec [06:02] EriC^^: & how do I make a custom header/how do I fill in the data needed to have it find something? [06:02] freeroute, ok then [06:02] I will boot a few more times to see if it's the random boot issue or not [06:02] mint_: link above ^ [06:03] how can i tell which drive is which? [06:04] glitchd, I followed this article, but it does not help either http://quehow.com/how-to-enable-and-configure-bluetooth-in-ubuntu/3851.html [06:04] fdisk shows drives as sda1, sda2.. etc but does not tells the name of the drive [06:04] Prashantc13, what? in ubuntu, that IS the name of the drive? or are you looking for guid?

Only Percona has released a patch so far. [06:30] guzzlefry, should appear in your logs or dmesg [06:31] orlock: The problem is a lot of widely used applications has issues, even openssh had that terrible security hole a while back. I bet there are a lot of unknown security holes in the linux kernel as well, we just haven't found them yet :) [06:32] EriC^^: I do however get a message when it does boot correctly if you wanna see that one? [06:32] cfhowlett: any hints on what I should look for? [06:32] Good Morning! Yesterday I already asked about how to track down a performance issue on my ubuntu webserver. iostat, top, free -m etc. all show good values....when I analyze my website, chromium shows me a long "TTFB" time - might this be a problem of the vserver host? [06:32] Mattias: yes, it's all crap, and if you care you will install and configured your system according to one of the baseline hardening guides which will reduce or eliminate the risk of many of these issues [06:33] orlock: the problem is apparmor or selinux etc has no effect on this mysql security hole [06:33] Hello world! [06:33] guzzlefry, sorry, but try dmesg tail to get the most recent 100 messages [06:33] Mattias: No.. If you are vulnerable and your system is in a state where it can effect you, your system was badly configured to start off with [06:33] I don't see anything useful. [06:33] exit [06:34] Bray90820_: ok, maybe it has something about a warning or something [06:34] Bray90820_: it should be in /var/log/boot.log [06:35] the ones that don't boot might be in a similar log that ends with .0 or something else [06:35] orlock: Sure a badly configured server doesn't even need a security hole to be hacked. Anyways, I guess I'll just wait for the patch to be released. Hopefully it's out fast. [06:35] Mattias: If security is enough of a concern that you have guidelines in place mandating time-till-patch or similar, then you should also be following some of the basic security guidelines/principes anyway [06:35] it basically says that tpm failed [06:35] EriC^^: [06:36] EriC^^: Bray90820_ ' journalctl -b -0 ' for boot messages of last boot . [06:37] That will take a while but ok [06:37] Mattias: if you allow malicious actors access to directly run queries on your SQL server, you are in a dangerous space anyway [06:38] Was quicker then I expected [06:39] orlock: I assume you have read about this CVE. I have not gone into details about it yet. I try to keep the servers as secure as possible. Was just wondering when a patch will be out.

[07:22] mint_: yeah [07:22] after installing the latest Inet gfx driver I get this message when at the login screen and after logging in: could not set the configuration for CRTC 63 [07:22] anyhow know how to fix this or get rid of the message? [07:22] mint_: testdisk can show the dir structure, but it can't find the files, photorec doesn't care about anything, it just sweeps the disk for file headers and gets the files [07:22] EriC^^: Have we tried everything you can think of? [07:22] Bray90820_: arch has a very good boot debugging wiki, i can't seem to find it suddenly [07:23] cfhowlett: No, I am not just talking about recovering, I am saying testdisk cannot detect the files, only the main folders which used to house them, it cannot even detect the subfolders below the ones that were inside /home [07:23] i think that might help cause it's intermittent and it might show what's actually happening each time it can't boot [07:23] EriC^^: testdisk only showed the most top level of the dir structure, but not the sub folders or files [07:23] liuxg, https://git.launchpad.net/~canonical-hwe-team/+git/artik_doc/tree/artik-guilde.txt [07:23] Bray90820_: the wiki was really extensive, there was a "insane mode debugging level" as i recall [07:24] Which I know nothing about [07:24] liuxg, then press crtl+F and type bluetooth and it will take you to the section about starting bluetooth [07:24] "bott debugging arch" used to bring it up in google [07:24] glitchd, yes, I noticed that. bluetootctrl command only works when power is on. === skylite_ is now known as skylite [07:25] liuxg, lol makes sense [07:25] Eric, okay, I will need to look up the command line things to use photorec [07:25] Bray90820_: all i can find is this now https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_troubleshooting#Boot_problems [07:25] EriC^^: okay, I will need to look up the command line things to use photorec [07:26] keep getting dc [07:26] EriC^^: What about the pastebin I sent you at the beginning of our chat? [07:26] Cononical, if you're out there, thanks for Unity, for us poor Mac users who don't know from a command line and don't want to :) [07:26] Bray90820_: the wiki was really extensive, there was a "insane mode debugging level" as i recall, "boot debugging arch" used to bring it up in google, all i can find is this now https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/General_troubleshooting#Boot_problems [07:26] Bray90820_: it looks pretty normal [07:27] EriC^^: Could we try the stuff from the pastebin [07:28] mint_: photorec has a nice terminal gui [07:29] mint_: all you need is sudo photorec > choose the disk > file opts, press s to remove selections, go down to the last entry for zip archive and openoffice, select that, press "b" to save then search [07:29] EriC^^: Indeed, I am using it right now [07:29] EriC^^: Thank you [07:30] Bray90820_: try adding these to grub debug ignore_loglevel log_buf_len=16M [07:30] And leave what is already there?

[07:32] EriC^^: [07:34] mint_: yeah by default it's selected [07:34] mint_: might as well stop it early on [07:34] EriC^^: Found it but should I remove everything after quiet splash? [07:35] and check what's selected by default (or maybe just let it select everything) and run it [07:35] Bray90820_: no just quiet splash [07:35] ok [07:35] I assume you want me to edit the grub file right?

I need to compile for arm boards as well [07:49] Bray90820_: the pastebin doesn't really help [07:49] that's just to boot it when you don't have a working grub config yet, before you installed grub-efi for 32bit [07:50] EriC^^: Thank you for pointing that out because when I suggest I try it everyone just ignores me like they don't even wanna give me a response to it [07:51] EriC^^: but this might help [07:51] https://github.com/burzumishi/linux-baytrail-flexx10/tree/master/grub [07:52] Granted it's for the 10 inch version of my tablet but worth a shot right?

[07:56] Bray90820_: i think you're supposed to copy over the modified efi file [07:56] let me see that part where it was mentioned before, 1 sec [07:57] Bray90820_: download https://github.com/burzumishi/linux-baytrail-flexx10/tree/master/grub/efi/EFI [07:57] 1 sec, brb [07:57] and copy that to "/grub/efi/EFI" ? [07:58] copy it over /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi [07:58] Thanks Will try [07:58] Bray90820_: hold on, first try ls /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu [07:58] and sudo efibootmgr -v [07:58] Once i get my system booted I will [08:04] EriC^^: grubx64.efi doe not exist [08:08] Bray90820_: yeah, i figured [08:09] try ls /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu and also sudo efibootmgr -v to see what it's using for sure [08:11] Bray90820_: have a look here, it looks like he has other grub parameters? https://github.com/burzumishi/linux-baytrail-flexx10/blob/master/grub/default/grub [08:11] EriC^^: efibootmgr: www.termbin.com/6bjv ls: www.termbin.com/sh0y [08:11] video=intelfb fbcon=rotate:1 [08:12] Bray90820_: ok copy the downloaded grubia32.efi over /boot/efi/efi/ubuntu/grubia32.efi [08:13] also try sudo nano /etc/default/grub and put the new stuff like he has them [08:13] EriC^^: actually the directory is /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/ [08:13] Bray90820_: what's the native resolution of the tablet? [08:13] he also has a gfxmode line there GRUB_GFXMODE=800x1280 [08:14] 1366 x 768 [08:14] Bray90820_: that's right, i get lazy cause it's fat32 and it's not case-sensitive [08:14] aha try maybe putting the GRUB_GFXMODE=1366x768 [08:15] Copied the refi file over [08:15] refi [08:15] efi [08:15] There we go [08:15] :D [08:15] EriC^^: if that is rotated, shouldn't it be 768x1366? [08:15] that video=intelfb looks kind of promising [08:16] ducasse: that's a good point [08:16] Bray90820_: ^ [08:16] It's in landscape mode [08:17] i'd put it as the guy has it [08:17] 768x1366? [08:17] the fbrotate thing might have to do with something related to ... no idea about these stuff but put it :D [08:18] So what should I do? [08:18] make it GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=intelfb fbcon=rotate:1" [08:18] and GRUB_GFXMODE=768x1366 [08:23] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux "The Ubuntu-specific "selinux" and "selinux-policy-ubuntu" packages documented here have not received much attention since Karmic, and appear to be effectively broken in Precise." [08:23] if they have been "effectively broken" so long why are they not removed? [08:24] ilmaisin: so they can be used as building blocks by those who want/need to use it, i'd guess. [08:26] EriC^^: I think I am gonna be done for the night [08:27] Things aren't working correctly because f something stupid I did and I don't wanna restart and yeah [08:27] what is that you did? [08:27] I fucked up edit [08:28] I just need to reboot but I don't wanna take the time to do that [08:28] what do you mean? === mcphail_ is now known as mcphail [08:28] sudo edit? [08:28] Sorry I meant gedit [08:29] np use nano [08:29] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [08:29] then ctrl+x to exit and save [08:30] what is the file I should be editing? [08:30] /etc/default/grub [08:31] What should I edit to what [08:31] As you can tell I am getting tired [08:32] I keep asking you questions you already answered [08:32] np [08:32] make GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="video=intelfb fbcon=rotate:1" [08:32] and GRUB_GFXMODE=768x1366 [08:34] Will that rotate my screen? [08:34] once again, I thank you Unity lol [08:35] 123456 [08:35] except for the file sharing nonsense, heck of a job :) [08:35] Bray90820_: i think it'll leave it [08:36] Ok [08:36] Where do I put GRUB_GFXMODE=768x1366 [08:36] Found it nevermind [08:36] Sorry no I didn't [08:37] it should be towards the bottom [08:37] There is a line that says GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 but it's commented out [08:37] that's it [08:37] uncomment it and change it [08:38] Then save exit and what? [08:40] is it better to sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo aptitude upgrade? [08:40] and sudo update-grub [08:40] Bray90820_: ^ [08:40] Then reboot? [08:40] update grub? was that in response to me or someone else? [08:40] Phryq: Update grub was for me [08:41] ok, thanks [08:41] Bray90820_: yeah try rebooting [08:42] Hey guys, I have a php scrippt directory under my apache2 setup (/php) in there scripts will be stored which will be included in other files (via "require_once" or whatever, outside of the "/php" folder). Now how can I set proper permissions to those files so that php can read them but nobody can access them via a simple url like localhost/php/script.php ? [08:42] my usb device isn't appearing; what can I do to troubleshoot? [08:43] EriC^^: That did a lot of bad stuff now all I get is grub resource mode [08:43] Ok, I'll just try rebooting. brb [08:44] Hi. I know that the chances of an infected linux machine are slim, especially since I don't install 3rd-party software. However, I am planning to do a fresh-install and I was wondering what could be a safe way to copy my files from an encrypted home folder without risking infecting my USB drive. Thanks in advance! [08:46] EriC^^: Could I boot to a live USB and revert the changes? [08:46] Bray90820_: that must be the switching of the grubia32 it didn't like [08:47] Bray90820_: yeah, can you actually choose which uefi entry to boot in your tablet? [08:47] what would you recommend I do at this point [08:48] hi, what is the package of the 'umount' command, please ? [08:48] where is from ? [08:48] Bray90820_: try to boot the live usb [08:48] No need I think [08:49] from grub rescue> try "ls" [08:50] EriC^^: No need [08:50] ? [08:50] All that happened was the boot order changed in my UEFI so were all good [08:50] nairwolf: i think 'util-linux' but i could be wrong [08:51] Bray90820_: oh ok, great [08:52] Luna_Moonfang: thank you [08:52] In fact, I have a problem with auto-completion [08:52] and it seems to happen only with umount [08:53] Also, I don't know what is responsible for auto-completion... [08:53] As I would like to report a bug [08:53] nairwolf: it's also possible that it comes with 'mount' [08:54] as it seems like util-linux is a collection of other packages [08:54] Luna_Moonfang: yeah, I've seen with dpkg that I have a 'mount' package [08:55] I will send a mail to some mailing-list (I'm from xubuntu), and I will ask more information [08:56] Bray90820_: any luck with the black screen? [08:56] Still doesn't boot tho and It also rotated the screen like I thought [08:57] And you were right about it not liking the grubia32 [08:58] EriC^^: Actually it only rotated the verbose boot [08:58] Bray90820_: aha [08:58] My laptop is suspending even I set it not to when it is plugged in. It seems that it isn't following the "When plugged in" rules. Running ubuntu 16.04 [08:58] it still won't boot without nomodeset? [08:58] It boots with nomodeset [08:59] But that pretty much it [08:59] Bray90820_: seems like a weird bug or something [09:00] Honestly I have no idea [09:00] But I am gonna remove the grubia64 [09:00] If that''s ok [09:01] Bray90820_: yeah rm it and run sudo grub-install --target=i386-efi [09:02] And should I also remove the rotate from grub? [09:02] yeah [09:02] let me see what that video=intelfb does [09:03] !list [09:03] pier: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [09:03] EriC^^: I think after I revert the changes I will be done for the night [09:10] My monitors keep swapping positions. After a certain time, or action, the monitors revert to these positions: http://prntscr.com/chftu4 [09:14] hello , my other laptop , has a partition problem , so i made a free size , with an unlocated partion of 50GB , my problem is in gparted live or any windows partition tool , i can merge it with ex4 , but i can with ntfs , any help ? [09:14] EriC^^: I am done for the night but it seems like changing the resolution was what rotated it [09:15] Bit-2: can you show a screenshot of gparted? [09:16] Bray90820_: ok [09:16] But all the changes have been reverted and I will hit you up tomorrow [09:16] Bray90820_: ok, have a good one [09:17] Goodnight [09:17] you too [09:17] Eric , i cant sadly , because it doesnot give me errors , and i have to be in gparted-live , but ex4 is on the left side , and the unlocated gb is in middle , and windows partition is on the right [09:18] Bit-2: oh, you have to move the entire windows partition to the middle i think [09:19] eric , it was in the midlle , i need the unlocatted partion to be merged with ubuntu drive. [09:19] its seems i cant with any partition tools , only can be merged with windows [09:20] Bit-2: i'm confused, you said you can merge it with ext4 but not ntfs [09:20] oh, both were a "can" typo i guess :) [09:21] eric , sorry , i cant with ext4 , but i can with ntfs [09:21] does it say anything about why it can't merge it? [09:21] eric, no , it doesnt because it cant do the operation. no option for ext4 , only for ntfs [09:21] Bit-2: it's very easy to do it manually without gparted, but a backup is recommended as always with messing around with partitions and stuff [09:22] and i dont want to delete the raid drivces, because i need my packages. [09:22] Bit-2: aha, i dont know about raid and if it can be affected or something.. [09:22] on the other hand, i need a personal trainer :p , for repo building for online usage , from the server side , will pay for it handsomely :P [09:23] tried askubuntu but its seems the english wise is my problem ;) [09:24] training on dpkg-dev , online directories and authintications and sync [09:25] no idea about that, #ubuntu-app-devel might know about that [09:26] Bit-2: ^ [09:26] any help ? [09:28] Bit-2: would the raid be affected if you made the ext4 larger? [09:30] i think i were disconnected, what was the last thing i wrote ? [09:30] any help? [09:30] Bit-2: would the raid be affected if you made the ext4 larger? [09:32] eric no , it will not , but the main issue i cant make it larger.. [09:32] my meriging the unlocatted partition [09:33] Bit-2: do you have a backup of it? [09:33] no , but i can make one , and distroy all of the HD lol [09:34] i have a very big issue , with ubuntu , every time , it updates , some time my isp provider blocks some packages , so my ubuntu desktop get fuzzy and crashes , and i dont use LTS so i get stuck [09:35] that sounds like a user problem [09:35] so any personal trainer for repo's ? [09:35] not an ubuntu problem [09:35] personal trainer for repo ? [09:35] a.) use LTS b.) look at what's blocking packages and why c.) that will not make ubuntu go "fuzzy" so describe the problem properly [09:36] i just cant wait for some replies from stack , and wait for someone to answer me in irc , and may give me wrong command-lines that make things worse , i need a personal trainer lol [09:36] replies from stack ? [09:36] brb-2min [09:36] what are you talking about [09:36] * Bit-2 out for smoking.

At work I've got a new machine which i'm currently setting up. However on my old drive there's some stuff i'd like to put over to the new machine. Is there any simple way of mounting the HDD from my old PC in the new pc? (HDD is unencrpyted, it's the primary HDD which is bootable) [10:37] Anticom, it should be plug and play [10:37] docgi: with SATA? although there's also a /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda5 partition on there? [10:37] :O [10:38] yeah. as long as the cables fit that should work [10:38] http://orig01.deviantart.net/01f2/f/2011/288/5/b/mother_of_god_by_rober_raik-d4cw2di.png [10:38] yup [10:38] Linux just got even more awesome [10:38] Anticom: the sdXY is machine specific. so on the new machine where there is already a disk your old disk will be named sdb [10:38] k1l_: and i also don't have to take away the boot flag using gparted etc?

After an update the Arabic letters are not displayed in Libreoffice! What could cause this? and if the update is the cause how to revert it? [10:42] Ubuntivity, what updated? [10:44] What's the recommended tweaking utility for ubuntu? Iirc there are a couple of different ones out there. (I'm on Xenial) [10:44] Anticom: there is "unity-tweak-tool" officially from ubuntu [10:48] cfhowlett: simple apt-get upgrade [10:48] Ubuntivity, any error msg's? [10:49] maybe the l10n package doesnt match now? [10:49] cfhowlett: None. I've figured this problem by chance when I went to use Libreoffice [10:49] k1l_: what is that package? [10:49] localisation, i guess that is where the support for arabic letters is in. [10:49] Ubuntivity, and LO is the only app that fails with your fonts? [10:50] !info libreoffice-l10n-ar [10:50] libreoffice-l10n-ar (source: libreoffice-l10n): office productivity suite -- Arabic language package. In component main, is optional.

I click "Add new boot option", add the appropriate .efi file from the USB, but on reboot that boot option is gone. can someone help? [10:50] cfhowlett: Yes, only Libreoffice [10:51] k1l_: is there a way to revert to the previous version? [10:51] Ubuntivity, I suspect k1l_ has it right. reinstal the libreoffice package he linked [10:51] Ubuntivity: no. and since the update of the libreoffice package was in july, i guess the issue might be somewhere else [10:51] Jhs, try set a admin pass in the bios [10:52] cfhowlett: how to install the previous version of the package and not the latest one? [10:52] k1l_: it is a fresh install done yesterday. Libreoffice was working normally before performing apt-get upgrade [10:52] Ubuntivity, download, save then sudo dpkg -i foo.deb [10:52] cfhowlett: Thanks, I'll try to do that and see.. [10:52] Mathisen, ok, thx, trying [10:53] Ubuntivity: does "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" bring any more updates? [10:53] happy2help Ubuntivity [10:54] k1l_: It does bring the firmware update and some related packages that I didn't update [10:54] Mathisen, same thing. when i reboot the boot option i added is gone. i disabled booting to windows, so it goes directly to bios [10:54] k1l_: because I know they will corrupt my wireless driver [10:55] Jhs, dissable secure boot then [10:56] Mathisen, done, no difference [10:57] Jhs, hmm dont know then.. [10:57] Jhs, but im sure there is a setting in there somewhere [10:57] Jhs, kinda hard to guess here without sitting in front of it [10:58] Mathisen, instead of just Save & Exit I chose "boot override" to my Ubuntu USB stick, it seems to be working now [10:59] Hiyas all [11:02] Mathisen, installing now. thank you very much for the help :) [11:09] hi === marcos is now known as Guest89545 [11:11] how much storage size is good for installing ubuntu? [11:12] i relly dont no i have 256gb and works fine [11:12] CipherZero, base install can fit in 10gb but no data storage ... [11:13] CipherZero: around 15GB for the / partition and the rest of the disk for /home partition where all your data will go in. [11:13] 100G is too big? [11:13] CipherZero: there is no too big :) [11:14] CipherZero, note the size of /dev/sda2 http://paste.ubuntu.com/23173208/ [11:14] 64G will be shorten? [11:14] CipherZero: 64Gb for what? [11:15] installing ubuntu [11:15] CipherZero: because if you dont seperate / and /home then you need as much as you can have for the / since all your data will be stored in / [11:15] i need go back to windows. i will make a usb just to use ubuntu [11:16] ok thanks k1l_ [11:16] ;) [11:16] CipherZero: we cant know what all data (fotos, files, music, videos...) you will store on your system. we can only tell you that the OS needs at least 10-15GB, the rest is what you add to it. [11:16] 64gb depends of wath do you like to do with ubuntu [11:17] hi [11:17] but windows is short about 64G [11:17] CipherZero: the base OS of windows does take way more disk space already. [11:18] agreed [11:18] fresh install is of Windows 10 is about 30-40 G [11:18] 30~40G lol [11:19] according to microsoft, a 32 bit installations is 20 g [11:20] 20G :( [11:20] the ISO is 4 GB [11:20] hi, is that possible for android to access files in my ubuntu desktop through cable? I know how to access android files from ubuntu. but what I want is to access ubuntu files from android. thanks. [11:21] I mean usb cable. thanks. [11:22] wath files: [11:23] sgo11: with a regular setup, no [11:23] sgo11: any reason you cannot use wifi? [11:24] hateball, slow speed. I am trying to watch a 8 GB blueray video in my android phone. I don't have enough spare storage in the phone. [11:25] I guess otg cable with a usb drive can do the job. but currently, I don't have an otg cable. [11:26] your phone have space for ssd card: [11:26] I can also scale the video to smaller size with ffmpeg, but that took a verrry long time. [11:27] Guest89545, what does that mean? ssd harddrive? [11:27] no a ssd card like sandinsk or kingston card [11:27] wath is the model of your phone: [11:28] Guest89545, I don't get what you mean. do you mean tf card or micro sd card? My phone does not support external tf card.

I never know that is called ssd card too... [11:30] so [11:30] my phone does not support tf card. :) sad..

I am trying to use some workarounds now. :) [11:32] do you relly relly need a blueray video on your phone: [11:33] the lcd is very small you can put the same video in other quality [11:33] hi, m new to open source community just replaced windows 10 spyware with ubuntu mate feeling great!! [11:33] Guest89545, not really. scale the video is another option. it just took very long time. never stop.. maybe I should try ffmpeg again... [11:34] sgo11, ffmpeg? on the phone? [11:34] cfhowlett, ffmpeg on my ubuntu. [11:34] i have other alternative but you need a good internet conection [11:34] sgo11, depending on your ram and gpu, "hours" is normal ... [11:35] you can put on youtube or dropbox onedrive [11:35] cfhowlett, yeah, that's why I don't want to try that option. it's burning my laptop cpu too. [11:36] Guest89545, I don't think that will work. I have samba server in my lan. I tried that. too slow... I don't think internet will do anything better than my lan. [11:36] sgo11, workaround: make an ubuntu USB. take USB to the local Apple store (preferably in quiet corner. boot USB, install ffmpeg and transcode the video. [11:37] also works at the Dell store [11:38] sgo11: good luck man i need go to work heave a nice day [11:38] cfhowlett, ok.. it's easier if my android can simply access my ubuntu files via usb cable... [11:39] Guest89545, thanks a lot. have a nice day. [12:00] hello, this command `at now + 6 minutes rtcwake -s 300 -m standby` at terminal returns: at: invalid option -- 's' [12:01] there is no -s? [12:01] Capum321: I suspect it's trying to use -s as an 'at' argument [12:01] yeah [12:01] that's right [12:02] I don't see a -s option for at [12:02] rtcwake and onwards are a different command [12:02] hey all [12:02] so set the rtcw command in " " [12:02] try using quotes [12:02] "" ? [12:02] ok [12:02] thanks [12:04] need some help with occassional screen flicker on Ubuntu 16.04.

I first enabled USB tethering in my android phone. and then I enable samba server in my ubuntu. use ifconfig to find out what ip address of usb0 got. and connect this samba share in android with some file explorer such as ES. that's all. works very well. the video plays very smoothly. === Denzel is now known as Guest64736 [12:10] sgo11: heh :) [12:10] sgo11, what? sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeei ... man, get pics and post that on a tutorial someplace! [12:10] hateball, :) am very happy now. [12:11] cfhowlett, ^_^ [12:11] sgo11: I browse to a web server on my pc to transfer / stream movies to my phone. [12:13] BigPerM, ok. I am watching 8GB blueray. thus my problem was I have to use the cable connection and how android access ubuntu files through cable. then I found out the solution. [12:14] 8GB Blue ray on a mobile phone? does your phone have a 4K display? [12:14] sgo11: so you do have wifi access tho? [12:14] VLC / webserver or plex works fine for large movies [12:14] sgo11: you could run something that transcodes the video instead, to a size suitable for the phone [12:15] hateball, yeah, I tried ffmpeg. but it took too long and burn my laptop cpu. [12:16] sgo11: what phone do u have? [12:17] BigPerM, I don't think you never heard that. nubia z9. I tried wifi lan way. doesn't work well. lags, slow etc.. [12:18] sgo11: well now you have a solution that works, so all is well [12:18] anyway, I am happy with my current solution. [12:18] hateball, yeah. :) [12:19] Interesting phone...

[12:23] Enjoy real life [12:24] BigPerM, ok. thanks. you too. [12:25] hey anyone know where i can find the various distribution stats for ubuntu? [12:26] can anyone please help me ? iv got problem with wifi [12:26] studio-d1g1t4Lnr, there are no verifyable stats , about downloads, users, upgraders and such [12:26] i migratedto Xfce and wifi was for about 10 min now is gone forever :) [12:26] Thanks BigPerM [12:28] elizbieta what do you mean it is gone forever? [12:28] thanks OerHeks [12:29] Any general stats you might know of. [12:29] it does not see any network and the light hardware is gone too [12:29] studio-d1g1t4Lnr, ^^ [12:30] Hii guys, can I reinstall something I have installed already (it's crashing) without internet connectivity? Googling only gives results about ubuntu (OS) reinstall. [12:31] noobuntu: what application? [12:31] noobuntu: yeah if you haven't run apt-get clean [12:31] opera bowser [12:31] noobuntu: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [12:31] How EriC^? [12:31] ^ [12:33] studio-d1g1t4Lnr, http://beta.pastee.com/r3vrv [12:34] can anyone advise me how to fix wifi ? please ?http://beta.pastee.com/r3vrv [12:36] I can't find any way to apt install webstorm, I can't find a ppa for it [12:36] which is odd because there is one for pycharm [12:36] anybody know if there's a way to do that? [12:37] elzbieta, Atheros is a troublemaker, it has encryption enabled standard, did you add ' nohwcrypt=1 ' to the config? tons of post about this, see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2160177&s=d0b2a9d6a3bf98ed31425ceec6dd1711&p=12719757#post12719757 [12:37] hi [12:38] Hi all [12:38] TKoL: well, its payware, so there is no way that is going into the repos. see their website how to install that [12:38] OerHeks, i didn't dont even know what you mean :) [12:38] TKoL, PhpStorm and WebStorm are not FREE, so this is a 30-day trial .. no ppa likely, download it from their site? [12:39] elzbieta, that post gives terminal commands, open terminal with ctrl alt T , and good luck [12:40] elzbieta, Atheros is a troublemaker, if this does not work, i am out of ideas [12:40] OerHeks, done [12:41] after that, disable wireless from networkmanager, and enable again [12:41] OerHeks, whet command shoul i execute? [12:41] all 3 lines seperatly [12:42] OerHeks yes, I have key [12:42] It will patch, unload, and load again [12:42] I'm student [12:42] the problem is that when I download it from their site, it doesn't install the same way a normal application does [12:42] TKoL, so install from their site, they do give instructions, no? [12:42] it leaves the install files wherever you unpack the .gar.gz [12:43] TKoL, yeah, no, my support stops here. [12:43] thanks pal [12:43] anybody else know? [12:44] :-D [12:46] exit [12:47] Unfortunately my newest endavour with ubuntu has been the most unstable operating system i have ever used. :( [12:48] And to think all of my servers run Ubuntu and they never encounter any problems. For the desktop though, there is clearly serious issues with screen drivers, more specifically related to compiz [12:49] Only alternative is mac and it costs 3000$ for the same machine :( [12:50] hi, I installed libcgraph6 on 16.04 since I needed it as dependency, the script I'm using (correctly) tries to use pkg-config to acces the library but there's no .pc in libcgraph6 package, nor I do see a -dev package [12:53] adamicron: does the graphviz-dev package have it? [12:54] mcphail: libgraphviz-dev does [12:54] thanks [12:54] how did you guess it? [12:55] adamicron: just followed the dependency chain backwards ;) [12:55] I now see I could have just searched for libcgraph.pc in PUC [12:59] people, how can i find a printer to print using its IP address? [12:59] Anyone familiar with daemontools here? [13:01] bye [13:03] Can someone tell me which is the most stable version of compiz? [13:05] free is reported 1.4gb used memory after buffers/cache - but I cannot find a single process that has pretty much any RSS. [13:05] Can someone give me a pointer what might be going on? [13:11] It's like the memory is gone, with no indicator at why or who is using it. [13:11] The only suspect I had was tmpfs, but /tmp is practically empty.

[13:20] <_0xbadc0de> hi guys [13:20] Hi, I am on Ubuntu Mate 14.04 LTS. I have installed iBus and fcitx installed for Japanese keyboard input. But both of them don't work. I can switch japanese input but japanese characters don't appear. It's just english characters [13:20] Can anyone help ? [13:20] <_0xbadc0de> listen how can I make /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward persistent = 1 [13:21] <_0xbadc0de> because after patching to 1 after reboot its zero again [13:22] _0xbadc0de /etc/sysctl.conf [13:24] hi [13:24] hi [13:29] hi guys [13:29] i've got a 16.04 install that has decided not to boot a gui any more [13:29] rec? [13:29] so, what pc and so on [13:30] the only thing i've done that is even slightly "dodgy" (lol) is open gparted. don't recall changing anything in it even, was just trying to see what drives were available. restarted the machine shortly after and now no gui :( [13:30] What machine you use ? [13:31] I've tried a couple of google suggestions like editing the grub entry to read "nomodeset" instead of "quiet splash", but other than that everything asks me to dive deep into grub and I've got a feeling that I'm barking up the wrong tree :) [13:31] snufft, mission accomplished, no? [13:32] OerHeks: haha, well I'd rather boot to a gui instead of a terminal, so no, not quite :P [13:33] hi friends [13:33] snufft, did you update grub after that edit? [13:34] OerHeks: I don't "think" so? The guide told me to change the line then press control + x to reboot. There's nothing on the page to say how to save the edit even, so I assumed it's saved when rebooting? [13:35] snufft, what guide exactly? is this a one-time edit to the grubmenu, or from within ubuntu? [13:35] OerHeks: one time edit. It was a forum post rather than a guide, let me scan my history :) [13:35] this is the correct manual > [13:35] !nomodeset [13:35] 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 [13:36] OerHeks: in that case, I'm probably way off the mark :P [13:36] Everytime i leave my computer for a phone call for 5 mins it auto locks which is normal, but when i come back to try and unlock it it restarts itself and i lose the session [13:36] What can i do? [13:37] <_0xbadc0de> okay [13:37] <_0xbadc0de> so I edited the line that says : [13:37] in mathomatic, when i press up, it prints ^[[A instead of moviong to previous entry. Any way to fix that?

[13:39] no [13:39] <_0xbadc0de> I mean is my kernel doing forwarding ? [13:39] that's wrong if so [13:39] <_0xbadc0de> yeah [13:39] lowercase [13:39] <_0xbadc0de> oh... [13:39] also, by default forwarding is not enabled fwiw [13:39] <_0xbadc0de> yes but I WANT FORWARDING [13:40] <_0xbadc0de> as soon as it reboots [13:40] no need to shout [13:40] just set it to one then, using the correct lowercase [13:40] <_0xbadc0de> there is no other forwarding option [13:41] <_0xbadc0de> other than Net.ipv4.ip_forawarding=1 [13:41] <_0xbadc0de> others are related to syncookies and such [13:41] yea, well you can use that or use the lowercase.. the onte that works :) [13:41] <_0xbadc0de> so I just change it to lowercase then? [13:41] yep [13:41] <_0xbadc0de> net.ipv4.ip_forwarding=1? [13:42] net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 [13:42] yep [13:42] it's not ip_forwarding btw [13:42] Anyone got experience using daemontools here for services?? [13:43] <_0xbadc0de> ah yes [13:43] <_0xbadc0de> well if that works [13:43] alamo: you heard of supervisord? [13:43] or you set on daemontools> [13:43] <_0xbadc0de> why isn't this option commented out then? [13:43] i have yeah, ive sort of been instructed to use daemontools [13:43] <_0xbadc0de> so that I know it exists [13:43] I have daemontools working, but I'm having trouble with the logging functionality of it [13:44] so the service is all rosy, but the automatic logging isn't functioning [13:44] cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep forward [13:44] # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4 [13:44] #net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 [13:44] _0xbadc0de: ^ it is [13:44] <_0xbadc0de> in my pc its uppercase [13:45] if you have something else, you'll have added or opened in vi and it's gone uppercase with the wrong keypress... or something.

I have not had this many problems with an os since i tried windows me for about 5 hours in 1999 [13:54] wish^: maybe the mirrors you use is just in the process of syncing the latest updates. i would just give it some time [13:55] wish^, try changing mirror, we cannot do something to fix that.

If it is possible to exclude the virtual machine it would be good. But I still need the rest of network attatched to the VPN. [14:02] I've a Asus AC-68U Router [14:03] Going to switch to cinnamon and see if it is with Unity the problem lies [14:04] The VPN is a paid anonymity service... Not that kind of VPN like VPN as a remote desktop. [14:04] hey guys I have ubuntu running on my macbook I seem to be having weird keyboard issues. when i click into different applications or input boxese first few keystrokes just dont happen [14:04] has anyone seen this before? [14:04] im using gnome-terminal --execute python runserver.py a document and setting to run when opened... everthing works perfect for that but i was trying to change the name of the terminal that it opens also. All i get is there was an error creating the child proccess for this terminal. [14:06] its a normal usb keyboard so im not sure what i would be having this issue [14:08] Hello all, looking for suggestions about 16.04.01 LTS upgrade, seems like there is one package that can't be authenticated and so process gets terminated. Any thoughts? Thank you .. [14:10] OerHerks, Still there? [14:11] A-Rebirth, yes, i think it is a hyperV issue, routing vpn and normal traffic [14:11] maybe you want to reask in ubuntu-server too [14:11] A-Rebirth: the vpn is running on the host, or in the guest? [14:11] OK I will try there too. Thanks. [14:11] anyone know how to open new terminal from file and have it rename terminal then run command? [14:12] The VPN is running in the router. [14:12] to me it sounds like its an host network issue. [14:12] A-Rebirth have you tried creating a NAT on hyper-V to your vm? It seems your ip address has changed due to the default route of the VPN gateway [14:12] A-Rebirth: then this is a routing issue, you would need to separate routing to/from that guest. try ##networking [14:12] A-Rebirth: so you setup the router that all traffic goes through the vpn? then its a router issue [14:13] kll_ yeah... it is. But I'm not sure how to do that... Maybe I should to reach Asus support also. [14:13] After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. [14:13] lol [14:14] OK good to know. It's not anything about the LAMP or Ubuntu config? [14:14] Hi all. I'm having a weird problem with my PROMT_COMMAND for PS1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23173746/ I'd like to have my sections enclosed in colored brackets. This seems to work so far, but if my breadcrumb get's too long my cursor acts all weird [14:14] Anticom_: no. [14:14] ducasse: ? [14:14] Yeah... You're right. It's not good to use the VPN over the network traffic. I should not do that... [14:14] Anticom_: sorry, that was for A-Rebirth [14:15] one other thing I've noticed is that if i login to terminal, I can't startx because it "Could not create lock file in /tmp/.tx0-lock" [14:15] I also noticed that this problem exists w/o the angle brackets [14:15] ducasse: haha np, just thought it was some sort of auto-responder [14:15] snufft: dont use startx. [14:15] sudo startx gives me the same message [14:15] snufft: start the lightdm [14:15] Could someone take a look at my PS1 and tell me what's wrong with it? [14:15] (besides not using \w, that's on purpose) [14:16] k1l_: is that just sudo start lightdm? [14:16] snufft: sudo service lightdm start [14:16] or restart [14:17] hey, is there a way to fix wallpaper/unity looking corrupted after a screen lock or a suspend? I've tried multiple desktops, they all manifest the same issue. Using nvidia proprietary driver. If I do "unity --replace", it fixes itself. Maybe I could somehow run that command each time I login/switch user/suspend? [14:17] k1l_: restarting boots me to a terminal :( that's why I'm here :( once the service has started, is there a way that I can get back to the desktop from the terminal without restarting? [14:18] snufft: i meant at the end of the command [14:18] k1l_: ohhhhhh, sorry. I see what you mean now :) [14:18] snufft: ctrl+alt+f7 will bring you back to xserver [14:19] Oh, by cursor acting weird i mean that it breaks to a new line (sort of) but stays in the same line but then when i type a very long command it finally breaks. and if i do ^u, the line is completly empty and the cursor is hanging in mid-air [14:19] k1l_: unfortunately control + alt + f7 doesn't appear to do anything for me :( [14:20] snufft: ps aux | grep xserver [14:20] are you even running an xserver? [14:20] Anticom_: a (maybe) easier way to customize your prompt might be powerline, have you ever looked at it? [14:20] Anticom_: probably not :S I have no idea. Ubuntu 16.04 vanilla [14:21] ducasse: hm, i wrote myself a modular script where i can hook in different sections [14:21] snufft: can you say what the setup and issue is at all? [14:21] I've just got an error on re-login then that i'm in a read only file system, lol. [14:21] ducasse: i've heard of powerline, never used it tho [14:21] Anticom_: that's basically what powerline does :) [14:22] k1l_: It's 16.04, issue is that I rebooted and now I can't get into the GUI. Boots me to terminal every time. Now it's telling me when I log in to the terminal that I've got a read-only file system [14:22] snufft: so the hardware got issues? or are you using recovery? [14:22] ducasse: maybe i'll give it a try. still annoys me, that my script isn't working :p [14:23] sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target >> systemd points to tty [14:23] sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target >> reset back to lightdm [14:23] k1l_: I'm not using recovery, this is just booting the straight "Ubuntu" entry from Grub. No hardware issues that I'm aware of? [14:26] how i i install php curl on 16.04 with php7.0 ? I tried apt-get install php-curl, php7-curl, php7.0-curl none of them worked [14:27] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/php7.0-curl [14:27] is there a way that I cna find out why my main drive would be mounted as read only? or a way that I can just change it so that it's mounted as writable? [14:27] !info php-curl | paws [14:27] php7.0-curl is correct [14:27] paws: php-curl (source: php-defaults (35ubuntu6)): CURL module for PHP [default]. In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.0+35ubuntu6 (xenial), package size 1 kB, installed size 11 kB [14:27] snufft: look at "dmesg" [14:28] paws: what is the error on installing php-curl? [14:28] k1l_ E: Unable to locate package php-curl [14:28] snufft: check /etc/fstab [14:29] exit [14:29] snufft: usually it's mounted read only if there's filesystem errors [14:29] so try to run a fsck from a live usb or try "sudo touch /forcefsck" [14:29] and reboot [14:29] paws: please run "sudo apt update ; apt-cache policy php-curl | nc termbin.com 9999" [14:32] thanx k1l_ [14:33] paws: can you show the output url in here? === ahmed_ is now known as Guest63281 [14:33] http://imgur.com/a/tEOGN how do I move the unallocated to /dev/sda1 [14:34] Hello I've Lenovo G560 I don't have sound in my speakers (using ubuntu xenial) tried to change alsa-base.conf to (ideapad, thinkpad, lenovo, auto) and non worked [14:34] kgirthofer: move the sda2 to the end of disk [14:35] when I click move http://imgur.com/a/0QVBL [14:35] kgirthofer: not sd5 [14:35] Hello! I got access to an openstack server, and I want to upload an ubuntu 16.04 image to run. but Idon't know which one, can you guys help? :) http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/xenial/20160907.1/ [14:35] EriC^: cannot touch "/forcefsck": Read-only file system, hahaha [14:36] kgirthofer: and since its only the swap partition you could just delete it and create a new one afterwards. [14:36] http://imgur.com/a/aRh8Y ok that's sda2 if I try to drag [14:36] oh rele? [14:36] snufft: right, doh O.o [14:37] kgirthofer: look at the last picture. that is where you set the sliders to move it [14:37] kgirthofer: "move" is actually resize boths ends. [14:37] right i can either take over teh rest of disk, but cannot move the left arrow [14:38] that's what I thought, but if I click the left arrow, it won't move it. [14:38] kgirthofer: seems its easier to delete it and create a 1GB swap afterwards. [14:38] ok [14:38] ostekake, If your deployment uses QEMU or KVM, we recommend using the images in qcow2 format. [14:38] lol http://imgur.com/a/afZ8J [14:38] greyed out [14:38] snufft: got a live usb at hand? [14:39] EriC^: when you say try to run fsck from a live usb, what commands should I be running? [14:39] snufft: come to think of it, i think the grub recovery mode has a fsck option at the top [14:39] After I wake from sleep my mouse is stuck? Gubuntu 16.04 ?? [14:39] EriC^: just found a cd with Puppy on it.... pray that the gods of plastic have preserved the disc this day...... [14:39] OerHeks, I have no idea, I just got access [14:39] snufft: just fsck -f /dev/sdxY [14:39] just starting to learn this [14:39] EriC^: aye, qcow2, unless running ceph as cinder storage, there's no qcow2 support, needs raw (appreciate that's an edge case of course) [14:39] snufft: maybe check the hdd's health while you're at it ( sudo apt-get install smartmontools && sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdx ) [14:39] not know why, always always need type: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 for start work with network card? any advice? thanks [14:40] EriC^: sweet, no worries. I'm half way through the puppy boot now, i'll try things from there firt :) [14:40] joelio: ? :D [14:40] oo0o had to delete all the partitions within === th3sh4d0whunt3r4 is now known as Guest17895 [14:42] EriC^: aye, we run ceph as openstack backend storage for images and object store, fountain of useless knowledge :) [14:43] EriC^ any advice? [14:44] hi folks, just killed both dpkg and apt, any idea how i can recover them? I did it by nuking pcre libs which now I cannot re-install. [14:45] EriC^: puppy failed :( tried fsck from recovery and it gives me "mount point /mnt/blahblah does not exist" :D [14:45] joelio: :) [14:45] (no idea what you said though:D) [14:45] lol [14:45] jak2000: regarding what? [14:45] EriC^: http://ceph.com/ [14:46] snufft: odd, do you have a live usb at hand? [14:46] http://imgur.com/a/dpM2n [14:46] thanks guys! Got it :) [14:46] EriC^: i don't, unfortunately. I can get my download on now and grab one. might take a few hrs on australian internet though, haha [14:47] EriC^: any particular distro? [14:47] snufft: what are you looking to do? [14:47] snufft: in that case try to mount as read-write with mount -o remount,rw / then touch /forcefsck [14:48] snufft: in that case try to mount as read-write with mount -o remount,rw / then touch /forcefsck [14:48] oops [14:49] anyone? any way to undo: "sudo dpkg --force-all -P libpcre3" [14:49] My cursor is stuck after waking from sleep? Gubuntu 16.04.1 [14:49] Ohcrap: i guess you could compile manually those needed libs and stuff? [14:50] does ubuntu 16.04 support downgrading to linux 3.x? [14:50] EriC^ notebox know why, always always need type: sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0 for start work with network card? any advice? thanks [14:50] Ohcrap: or download the package and unzip it and manually copy the files over? [14:51] thanks for suggestions, firstly @EriC^... I have gcc but doubt I have the rest of the libs required to build them (so would be PITA to build here). In terms of downloading the package, I have an rpm with it in but no tool to extract.... Any default tool on ubuntu to unpack rpms? [14:51] EriC^ its a vm in Virtual Box [14:51] catphish: you could install the hwe package for trusty that uses 3.13 i dont know how that would go though [14:51] EriC^: as in, edit fstab from recovery? [14:52] snufft: no just type the command there "mount -o remount,rw /" [14:52] jak2000: no idea sorry [14:53] Ohcrap: get the package from archive.ubuntu.com then use the archive unzipper in the filemanager to get the files [14:53] EriC^: all I can do from there is press enter to continue [14:53] thanks @EriC^, will give it a bash [14:53] snufft: oh, try to drop to root shell [14:53] Ohcrap: np [14:54] @EriC^ Just realised, since I'm on Elementary the file manager is probably different. That seems to be the last of my worries though, as the one I have won't start lol [14:54] I assume for the same reason that dpkg, sudo, cd, and everything else won't work [14:54] things I can do: nano, vim, use chrome which is open, use the terminals i have got open already [14:54] Ohcrap: you can still extract the files using dpkg i think [14:55] dpkg -x bla.deb [14:55] running dpkg gives me the error [14:55] EriC^: no output from either "mount -o remount, rw /" or "touch /forcefsck" :( [14:55] dpkg: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [14:55] EriC^: it seems that "linux-hwe-generic-trusty" doesn't really do anything at all on xenial :( [14:55] snufft: ok good [14:55] snufft: it means they worked, try ls [14:55] My cursor is stuck after waking from sleep? Gubuntu 16.04.1 [14:55] snufft: try ls / to see if the forcefsck got created [14:56] EriC^: yeah buddy! ls / gives me folders! [14:56] catphish: there is no 3.x kernel in 16.04 === andre_ is now known as Guest97963 [14:57] Ohcrap: try in the terminal xdg-open bla.deb [14:58] k1l_: i feared there may not be :( [14:58] I am trying to transfer music to an SD card and play it in my card with ubuntu. I can not seem to get it to work. Anyone help??? [14:58] start by saying what is not working [14:59] Mavis you talking to me? [14:59] hei, you know that after you start ubuntu for the first time, if you go to language support it says that language support is not installed completely? [15:00] how do you install language support completely using command line? [15:00] @EriC^: closer. I can open it with that, offers me to install (error since dpkg borked), save (works, i just get seemingly another .deb?), or quit [15:02] I have all the mp3 music loaded on to an SDHC card and when I plug into my truck it says Card not supported. [15:02] ontsledder: what filesystem is on that sdcard? [15:02] Fat [15:03] and that truck worked with that exact card before? [15:03] Ohcrap: try ar x bla.deb [15:03] Yes. I had windows before and did it no prob. But switched to ubuntu and now I can not get it working [15:03] Ohcrap: then tar xzf data.tar.gz apparently [15:04] ontsledder: was it unmounted correctly? [15:04] probally not [15:04] ontsledder: what happens on "dmesg" if you put that into the ubuntu? [15:04] vous avez vu //www.spamhaus.org/query/domain/outlook.fr chez outlook :x === boomer is now known as bitch [15:05] @EriC^ extracted, but tar depends on it too :D [15:05] @EriC^ that is to say it depends on libpcre [15:06] New to ubuntu? dmesg in terminal? [15:06] I'm tempted just to refo, I get the impression I've taken this a step too far lol [15:06] ontsledder: yes [15:06] gives me a ton of info [15:07] file:///media/dondiane/DE00-FE06 [15:07] ontsledder: "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" in terminal and show the output url here please [15:07] oops [15:08] does say it is not unmounted [15:09] FAT-fs (sdc1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. [15:09] ontsledder: so there you go [15:09] !fsck [15:09] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [15:10] ontsledder: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147228/how-to-repair-a-corrupted-fat32-file-system/147237 [15:14] asfd === ubuntu is now known as Guest73478 === ohcibi_ is now known as ohcibi [15:17] is the general idea with backing up a linux system to rsync remotely? [15:22] @EriC^ Thanks for your help, I was struck with the brilliant idea to boot from USB using the same image I installed with, and from there to locate all files named pcre, mount the existing drive at ~/tmp, then cp the file to the same location within the ~/tmp folder as it is on the bootable ISO image... Worked a treat. Time to install the package pr [15:22] operly anyway. Thanks :) [15:23] Ohcrap: great idea [15:23] Ohcrap: no problem! [15:27] Hi, I am back on Cinnamon and it seems to have fixed most of my problems. Is it safe to remove unity from my system at this point? [15:28] @EriC^ one more problem to resolve... because I cp'd the files, it looks to have copied files where it should've created hardlinks (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.3 is not a symbolic link + one other for /usr/lib). If I delete those two files now, and hardlink them appropriately, what do you suppose the chances of doom might be? Any guesses? [15:29] wish^, adding a desktop is no problem, removing one can be a pain. [15:29] kill_ i unmounted it and did not work. I will have to play with it more. [15:29] OK, it broke. Time to go fix it properly LOL [15:30] ontsledder: you need to fsck the sdcard [15:30] i did that [15:31] doing it again [15:32] it hangs on checking for bad clusters? Do i just leave it there until finished? [15:32] ontsledder: ofcourse you dont abbort the fsck. [15:33] ok i will let it sit there [15:41] OerHeks, ok, so i can just keep the other desktop and it shouldn't cause any problems? [15:43] wish^, 2 desktops do not bite, indeed. if you want pure cinnamon, i suggest reinstall, with the mini iso as cinnamon has no official iso (yet) [15:43] mini? [15:43] Do you mean Mint? [15:44] k1l_does this take awhile? [15:44] No, mini iso, small iso without live mode, which needs internet to install a desktop [15:44] !mini [15:44] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [15:44] OerHeks, thanks for your assistance though. What i really want is kde plasma with Ubuntu 16.04 so I will probably install that when I decide to do a reinstall [15:45] hmmm, so how do i go about adding my main drive back into fstab? [15:46] or rather, how can i go about recreating my /etc/fstab? [15:47] Is there someone here that jnows or knows a good article for disk partitioning for an ubuntu installation? What kind of sizes do we need for the different paths? [15:48] !partitioning [15:48] For help with partitioning a new install see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition | For partitioning programs, see !GParted (recommended) or !PartitionManager. Other partitioning topics include !fstab, !home, and !swap [15:48] lots of info, i would let ubuntu do the partitioning [15:50] Ok OerHeks [15:50] Do you know what normal ram usage is at for Ubuntu, i am currently at 8gb constantly [15:51] HALLELUJAH! I'M IN!!! [15:51] wish^: it should use all your ram all the time, if there is any need for it [15:51] few hundred mb, see htop what is eating your ram [15:51] Thanks OerHeks and EriC^ for putting up with my stupid questions :D Thanks to you guys I can finally finish installing some windows rubbish and go to bed :D [15:51] wish^: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ [15:51] wish^: it depends on workload, etc., [15:52] My swap never gets touched though [15:52] wish^: are you overcommitting? [15:53] nacc, what exactly do you mean? [15:55] wish^: are you using more memory than you physically have by your workload? or more precisely, why do you expect swap to be used? [15:55] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174064/ [15:56] wish^: that doesn't quite answer my second question [15:56] <_0xbadc0de> sudo apt-get install bind9 [15:56] <_0xbadc0de> t00r [15:57] Computer feels sluggish at times, and sometimes i get as much as 14 gb ram usage in the sytem monitor === andre_ is now known as Guest23705 [15:57] @EriC^ still here? :) [15:57] It just seemed strange, but I did read your linuxateram thing so i guess it is normal [15:57] I have two 16.04 ubuntu hosts with gnome. One shows the full path in gnome-terminal window title, the other just the last path component, where's this configured? [15:57] wish^: 1) ram is to be used. free ram is wasited money. 2) you need to seperate cache and actual ram usage. [15:57] wish^: if you have 16G of RAM, then it doesn't matter if your spikes are 14G [15:58] wish^: you want ram to be used before swap, generally [15:58] k1l_ when done that fsck. I can pull it and try in my truck or do I have another step? [15:58] Ok, well I dunno what is up. But i do not like it when the fan speed of my computer is noticable because i open a new chrome tab [15:58] ontsledder: make sure its properly unmounted before pulling it out [15:59] So something is definetly wrong with the system [15:59] I'm getting no such file or directory running ln with the first param being the file I'm creating as a link, and the second being the file it's linking to. Any suggestions on that? :) [15:59] ok what is the best way? [15:59] The first file doesn't exist, the second does. The no such file or directory is flagging on the first file - that shouldn't exist, so far as I'm aware [15:59] wish^, good thing fanspeed is on. your complaint is invalid. [16:00] wish^: that's unlikely to be related to not swapping (it would be more likely to occur if you *were* swapping). It's probable that you either are consuming all cpus, so cpu frequency is ramping up (which increases heat), or maybe the disk is spinning for one reason or another. It's hard to say why without knowing more of what is happening when you notice the fan increase. [16:00] Hi all. The live USB for "Try Ubuntu" is formatted for testing the system, is there an easy way to get a standard install of Ubuntu (without installer and Grub "try" menu) onto a bootable usb? [16:00] Ohcrap: other way around [16:00] nacc, Yea I understand that. Thanks though. [16:00] Ohcrap: `man ln`: ln target link_name [16:01] oh crap. [16:01] thanks [16:01] Ohcrap: indeed. np :) [16:01] the strange bit is that two other links worked backwardsly (if that makes sense [16:01] ) [16:01] Hi. I have 2 screen on 2 amd old graphics cards. I see my desktop in xinerama. Ubuntu 16.04 with OpenSource drivers. It's a dedicated box displaying always same app on each screen. Before when I was on an old ubuntu with proprietary drivers, I had to start each app with the right DISPLAY=... each screen was independent. Is it possible to have this mode again to be able to auto start my 2 apps full screen ? [16:01] Ohcrap: it doesn't, but no context, so unclear :) [16:02] DrunkenDwarf, yeah, just run the installer from a usb or dvd and point it at an USB. [16:02] Is there a way to let automount say why the mount failed? It just says "failed to mount /media/sdcard" when trying to access the folder [16:02] Neuii: it's probably in dmesg [16:02] nacc: Context is that I forcefully removed pcre using dpkg and everything broke, I'm trying to "restore" it using bootable usb and just forcing files / links back into place... It worked, but some links were replaced with files which confused apt later on, now trying to rectify that :P [16:02] k1l- i tried and got unmount: command not found [16:03] ontsledder, umount not uNmount [16:03] Ohcrap: seems like a mistake :) ... forcefully removing anything often leads to issues :) [16:03] ontsledder, umount without the N [16:03] cscf: will that put the bootloder etc on the usb and not the host machine primary partition? So I can effectively plug it in something else entirely [16:03] ontsledder: umount is the command [16:03] nacc: hence the name :) [16:03] Ohcrap: are you not able to chroot in from the bootable usb and just reinstall the .deb? [16:03] hi. does anyone know why nvidia-370 and nvidia-cuda-toolkit are incompatible? (I mean is it a real incompatibility or just some packaging quirk?) [16:04] Ohcrap: which you might need to manually d/l [16:04] i have no idea how to do that [16:04] I just noticed this (from an earlier effort): lrwxrwxrwx 2 root root 19 Mar 25 04:12 /home/elementary/tmp/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre16.so.3.13.2 -> libpcre16.so.3.13.2 [16:04] Ohcrap: what package did you forcibly delete?

When I use my phone to use the Hotel WiFi it works. Any Ideas? [16:16] is there an easy way to sync a local windows directory with a remote ubuntu server? [16:17] nacc: done. working, thanks [16:17] Is there a way to let automount (autofs) say why the mount failed? It just says "failed to mount /media/sdcard" when trying to access the folder. dmesg -T says nothing at all about mounting. [16:17] Neuii: you could try running `mount /media/sdcard` as your user from the terminal and see what happens [16:18] nacc: Can't find in fstab; Should i put it into fstab? [16:18] Neuii: not necessarily [16:18] zetwal: also try launching system-config-printer from a terminal [16:18] Neuii: iirc, automount is supposed to figure it out normally [16:19] Neuii: you could also check syslog to see if the actual error is rreported there [16:21] Guest84795: Did you follow the hotels instructions for connecting and getting past their captive portal?

[16:34] OerHeks: yeah, it reported not in fstab [16:34] OerHeks: as it's an automount/autofs thing, i think [16:34] OerHeks: [18:18:13] nacc: Can't find in fstab; Should i put it into fstab?

[18:50] what to do if after upgrade your every command says Segmentation fault and rebooting welcomes you to just initramfs?

[18:53] synthmeat: You may need boot disk [18:53] synthmeat: Like ubuntu install CD or USB [18:53] vfw: there's no fsck command. yeah. this is vps, not happening [18:53] vps? [18:53] Is Bumblebee still the best option on Ubuntu for getting Optimusesque functionality from a laptop with both a discreet Nvidia graphics card and an on-board Intel graphics chip? I know I can use PRIME to switch manually and log out/in but something that handled it automagically would be handy [18:54] vfw: virtual private server [18:54] I see that Bumblebee hasn't had any development in years. [18:54] synthmeat: Well, I don't know exactly what the problem is, only speculating here... [18:54] synthmeat: Not enough information, but *could* be file system error [18:55] synthmeat: So other than that, I dono. Maybe you have to re-install [18:55] vfw: yeah, exactly my thoughts. no data that needs to be preserved, it'll prolly be faster to just reinstall [18:55] :) [18:56] vfw: thank you nonetheless. signing off [18:57] okeydokey [18:58] This is the application which crashed my ubuntu today (with 8 gig memory I have on it too, not exactly small): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Studio_Code [18:59] xcyclist: seems odd that an IDE would crash an OS, but who konws [19:00] I haven't had Ubuntu crash for years, until I brought up this app. [19:00] xcyclist: i assume VSC is not in the repositories? [19:00] hello everyone, I created a linux-swap partition via gparted. but I don't know how to change the /etc/fstab file. if I just update the partition name and the UUID, there occurs a logical mistake. because the sentence is like 'the swap partition during install WAS /dev/sdXn with UUID: xxxx xxx..' or is it ok just to insert them? [19:00] xcyclist: not that ubuntu should crash in any case, just checking [19:00] No, I installed it from MS. [19:00] Well, I don't blame Ubuntu. I blame the app. [19:01] riqj: can you pastebin the fstab line? [19:01] And actually, the app just sponged up all the resources, would not let me access anything, and finally I rebooted. So crash is the wrong word. It locked me out. [19:01] akik, sure [19:01] xcyclist: ah yes, that's probably an OOM or so [19:01] xcyclist: in which case, get a better application :) [19:02] akik, here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174871/ [19:02] I apologize for not describing the problem accurately. At any rate, I need to learn VS to get work. I live under MS hegemony, in Puget Sound. [19:02] riqj, when you create or format a partition, the UUID changes. you use sudo 'blkid' to find the new id to use in fstab [19:03] riqj, http://askubuntu.com/questions/126018/adding-a-new-swap-file-how-to-edit-fstab-to-enable-swap-after-reboot [19:03] riqj: oh a small detail "cryptswap1" [19:03] riqj, you have to remove the comment from in front of the line [19:03] compdoc, the result of 'sudo mkswap /dev/sDxn' already shows the new UUID [19:04] riqj: sorry i don't remember how the crypted swap should be defined. do you have a /etc/crypttab ? [19:04] hello to everyone, some one can help me with the packege libopenal.so.1 I am not able to install it on ubuntu 16.04? thanks [19:04] xcyclist, .deb or tar.gz ? [19:04] akik, yes i have [19:05] pclavoro__: it seems to be part of the "libopenal1" package [19:06] ALL: are there any games compatible with ubuntu that is similar to "100 doors" on thr android devices [19:06] pavlos, this seems to be an exhaustive guide to creating swap. I'd only used the mkswap command as I wrote. maybe I should restart as described [19:06] SwedeMike do you have an repository please? [19:06] pavlos, thank you very much! [19:07] akik, compdoc, thank you! I will restart creating swap as in the link pavlos posted. [19:07] riqj: the guide you followed in encrypting it didn't mention fstab ? [19:07] pclavoro__: seems to come from "universe2 [19:07] pclavoro__: seems to come from "universe" [19:07] akik, I created the partition via gparted, if I understood your question correctly [19:08] riqj: why is it called cryptswap1 ? is it encrypted? [19:08] akik, I don't know. I have done nothing to encrypt the swap partition [19:09] It was a .deb install. [19:10] I am usually vary of dd commands. could you please help me know what this line refers to: 'sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/cache/swap/myswap bs=1M count=4096' ? [19:10] riqj: it zeros out the first 4M of /var/cache/swap/myswap [19:10] [19:10] how to Update to latest security patches? [19:10] nacc, it doesnt do anything to HDD, right? :) [19:11] wary* by the way :) [19:11] riqj: well, it depends on what is mounted/present at /var/cache/swap/myswap, i guess [19:11] riqj, I dont think you dont need dd to create a swap. its a dangerous command [19:11] * nacc agrees, seems unnecessary [19:11] xcyclist, just unpack the .tar.gz , run code and see if it goes better [19:12] thank you!!! [19:12] rexwin_: With ubuntu, you just update everything... [19:12] Are you kidding? I don't want to touch that thing again for a month. I lost way too much work. [19:12] apt-get update [19:12] apt-get upgrade [19:12] apt-get dist-upgrade [19:13] what is the difference? [19:13] that's what I am wary of it. it gave this result: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23174902/ what is 4gb here? the folder on this path? [19:13] xcyclist, it does not need an install , its already compiled [19:13] I found it, the file 'myswap' is 4gb. it is a binary..what is it? [19:14] riqj: sounds like a swapfile? maybe [19:14] rexwin_: update is used to resynchronize the package index files from their sources [19:14] nice..before rebooting I will make a full backup [19:15] upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. === elias_a is now known as Guest16948 === Khisanth is now known as Guest78798 === TiCPU|Z is now known as TiCPU === jtrucks is now known as Guest30261 === HappyLoaf_ is now known as 1JTAA9G4T === SirNeo is now known as 6JTAAAAAJ === kiki is now known as 7IZAAJAMJ === Fudge is now known as Guest51828 [19:23] good === bambams is now known as Guest7356 === erry is now known as Guest16559 === APLU is now known as Guest55940 === IdleOne is now known as Guest54953 === CyberJacob is now known as Guest72045 === Seveas is now known as Guest88242 === XenophonF is now known as Guest86560 === rafa is now known as Guest39028 === patsToms is now known as Guest52985 === matt is now known as Guest60789 === nesthib is now known as Guest68734 === spammy is now known as Guest67489 === Madars is now known as Guest14267 === bluszcz is now known as Guest93857 === mgorbach_ is now known as mgorbach [19:25] is I didn't have a 2nd nic defined/up when maas was installed, and maas web interface only shows 1 fabric (eth0, not eth1) how do I add the second fabric interface?

Any way to fix that? [19:27] What is the best free VPN [19:27] provider [19:29] Any idea why Ubuntu wouldn't give the option to install alongside Windows 10? [19:29] tanuki: No free space? [19:30] vfw: It's a brand new machine [19:30] apparently it's got 235GB free [19:30] tanuki: I don't care how new it is, if the entire hard drive is in use, you will not be able to install an additional OS [19:31] R063r1: "best" and "free" don't go together. but this isn't the right channel to ask that. === Guest88242 is now known as Seveas [19:31] tanuki: You have some partitions. Right? Maybe 2 or 3 right now? [19:32] vfw: Apparently [19:32] tanuki: You will more-than-likely need to resize that largest one in order to leave "free space" on the hard drive for Ubuntu install. [19:32] vfw: Doesn't the installer normally give the option to do so? [19:33] tanuki, normally, yes [19:33] tanuki: And it may be better for you to resize partition(s) or delete partitions before starting the Ubuntu install process. Start with "free space" [19:33] tanuki, how did you install win10 , efi (gpt) or msdos ? and did you start the ubuntu usb according to that ? === Guest5508 is now known as jelly [19:34] ioria: BIOS and we've tried the USB both ways. [19:34] I'm not the one installing it [19:34] tanuki, so you installed win10 in bios mode ? [19:35] ioria: Appaently. === Gill_ is now known as Gill === Guest4608 is now known as pcw [19:36] tanuki, does your pc support efi or fastboot (better disable it) ? or did you shutdown correctly win10 ? === pcw is now known as PaulW2U [19:37] ioria: Dunno.

[19:37] I did not [19:38] Eric thinks it's some crazy bug [19:38] Bray90820: Yuk, so much for wishing you a good day . Got anything I "might" be able to help with ? [19:39] tanuki, usually (not always) that behaviour is given by a gpt residue on the disk ... [19:39] Bashing-om: Not unless you have something else for me to try [19:42] tanuki, maybe win10 was pre-installed efi mode and reinstalled in bios mode ? you can try (Try ubuntu - open terminal) a sudo fixparts /dev/sda [19:43] hi all [19:45] hi some [19:45] ls -lApparently running chkdsk in Windows fixed whatever was scrozzled. [19:46] Bray90820: Nope, Eric has gone well beyond my abilities . [19:46] tanuki, that's good [19:46] And I think he has gone to his abilities as well [19:46] tanuki: Yea, I like to defrag and run chkdsk b4 doing a dual boot. [19:47] tanuki: But you said it was a "new computer" so... didn't think saying that was important. (Was thinking it was *really* new.) === kudu is now known as Guest46121 [19:48] Bray90820: As we have exhuasted our means , as bodhi.zazen - trusted - advised .. perhaps start a bug report, see what the big boys think ? [19:49] If Eric has in fact gone a far as he can I will file the report [19:49] tanuki: And one reason for doing defrag and chkdsk first is to avoid the possibility of rendering an OS inoperable due to file system corruption. (Which can happen in some rare cases.) [19:50] But... I like to just wipe the HD clean and do a Linux install without any other OS hanging around. (Much simpler.) [19:52] In the last few years, all of the dual boot installs I've done are for other people, and what I've seen is very little use of the other OS - they get used to Linux and don't revert to the other OS after a while and it just sits there....

[20:05] ash_workz, a useful command in future is [20:05] man -k usage [20:05] cscf (1) I just meant for in here... I feel like that's not an obscene redundancy considering things like !topic or !ask [20:05] cscf (2) the perk for explainshell is it constrains the options to just those provided === Guest7356 is now known as bambams_ [20:05] ash_workz, yes, that would be handy, as I said.

[20:46] hambot, yea what k1l_ said === znf_ is now known as znf [20:46] yeah, im pretty new to linux [20:46] I don't have a live system to do that with. [20:46] complete newbie [20:46] Can I use a USB live install to do this? [20:46] hambot, a live system is one that is booted from a live cd or live usb [20:46] lol i just thanked a bot haha [20:47] they're easy to download... but... is your / partition mounted read only? [20:47] Dorone, do you have linux installed? [20:47] i am trying ubuntu [20:48] hambot: Follow the advise and do that manual fsck .., preferred from a live medium . ' sudo fsck /dev/sda1 ' . see what results . - might be good to ' sudo fdisk -lu ' to make sure that sda1 is in fact the root partition . [20:48] ok... what's the status of your installation? is ubuntu installed, are you in the middle of installing, which? [20:49] i am stalling the complete installation [20:49] just getting a feel for it as we speak [20:49] running it off a usb stick === chris is now known as Guest22911 [20:49] is it running now? [20:49] oh ok [20:49] so you're running a live image of it [20:49] yep [20:50] hambot: " Can I use a USB live install to do this " desktop install, then yes .. that medium is refered to as the liveUSB . [20:50] what do you have in the way of disk storage? [20:50] limited storage haha\ [20:51] I'm trying to run the ScreenStudio program in Ubuntu 16.04, and I get the error "java command not found". I've checked and, indeed, the java command isn't there, but I've installed every single openjdk-8* package. How can I fix this? [20:51] ok... what are your plans around storage? [20:51] once i fall in love with linux i might eradicate windows for good [20:51] Dorone, you could always just install windows in a virtualbox inside linux [20:52] you may wish to hold off on eradicating until you've replaced all the functionality -and- are comfortable with it [20:52] will research into the virtual box === Trystam is now known as Tristam [20:52] thanks for the advice jim and glitchd [20:52] if you have limited storage, do you plan on getting more? [20:52] by the way just for interests sake. I am currently in Qatar [20:53] actually this is an older laptop. i dont mind using this solely for ubuntu [20:53] once windows is gone there should be enough space :D [20:53] do you have other machines? [20:53] yeah buddy [20:54] OerHeks: I should do check disk for defects right? [20:54] Wrong ping again [20:54] Bashing-om: [20:55] ok, that would then take off the limits on eradication, especially if this isn't your main machine [20:55] anybody looking forward to the next episode of Mr.robot coming out on wednesday? [20:55] at least as it concerns the laptop you're running the live image on [20:56] Bray90820: I always always do prior to attempting to install - even after I have verified the .iso image . Can save a lot of trouble later . [20:56] !ot | Dorone [20:56] Dorone: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[20:56] But that's what you were talking about earlier right? [20:56] @jim: Yes sir/mam [20:56] :D haha [20:57] so, have fun [20:58] btw there are 1t and 2t laptop drives now... they may be sata [20:58] :/ [20:59] Bashing-om: found errors in 1 file [20:59] hmm 1tb, 2 tb sounds mighty good [20:59] Never mind, I fixed it, it was a corrupt openjdk-9 install [21:00] Bray90820: . .There ya go ! Guess what the next step is ? === bambams_ is now known as bambams [21:00] Bashing-om: What I would like to figure out is what file had the error [21:01] Bray90820: Way over my skill level to figure out what the corrupted file might be . [21:01] how to find what files are installed with vsftpd? [21:01] Bashing-om: I was just wondering if there was some output of the check to something [21:02] *Or [21:02] hi where can i report a suspicious ubuntu paste bin link? [21:02] Bray90820: Not that I am aware of . [21:02] rexwin_: dpkg -L package [21:02] b6s3d: suspicious? [21:02] it dosn't look clean, and i don't want to open the files [21:02] anyone who i can pm [21:03] b6s3d, maybe #ubuntu-ops can be any help [21:03] thans [21:03] thanks === voipmonk_ is now known as voipmonk [21:03] b6s3d, you can trust k1l_ too, it is up to you. [21:03] Bashing-om: The reason i ask is because I am thinking it might not actually be an error I had to use a modified file to get the live usb booting and it might just throw out an error because of that [21:03] rexwin_: OK I'm in a live boot now...and I need to fsck my HD in term. What syntax do I need to use? [21:05] Bray90820: You mean that you modified the liveUSB to permit the install ? then yes, I can then accept that the file system check could fail . [21:06] hambot, check the manpage for fsck [21:06] If it is throwing back the error on that file I will conclude that it is a dummy error [21:06] nameless: Ya want to know the target ,, with no doubt - run ' sudo fdisk -lu ' and indentify the target partition , 1st . [21:07] hambot: Ya want to know the target ,, with no doubt - run ' sudo fdisk -lu ' and indentify the target partition , 1st . [21:08] Bashing-om: Would it throw back an error if it was missing a file? [21:09] Bray90820: I would think that in that event of a missing file the checker would say so rather than advising of a corrupt file . [21:09] Because what I actually did was I removed a file and replaced it with a file of a different name [21:09] ciao === anonymous is now known as Guest3076 [21:11] come usare vadalli sull backbox [21:13] come usare vidallia sull backbox [21:14] !backbox | Guest3076 [21:14] Guest3076: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu.

[21:41] Guest3076, under a normal Ubuntu installation Vidalia is supposed to work right out of the box (once you install it), so I would assume it would be the same under backbox [21:44] Hi, I'm trying to harden the security of my PHP7.0 FPM installation. [21:44] currently I have set my server to use a TCP scoket, for PHP7 FPM, i have listen = 127.0.0.1:9000 [21:44] Instead of listen = /var/run/php7.0.sock e.g. [21:45] Now, I am reading a tutorial on how to setup a different user for each new site on the same server. [21:45] And It says, i should create a different sock for each new website. [21:45] However this website, contra dicts, that, https://serversforhackers.com/video/php-fpm-configuration-the-listen-directive [21:46] So I'm kind of.. reading it all trying to learn more. But I'm just wanting to ask someone with more experience, can I keep it like this, with multiple websites running? Or is it better to go ahead with the socket thing? [21:46] Because the TCP socket seems to be a much more easy solution. [21:46] who can assist to me with testdisk [21:47] freelancerbob, what does disk utility says about hard drive? [21:49] hey, any python experts here? [21:49] I'm having some trouble with python3-dbg and numpy [21:49] even after installing python3-numpy-dbg, I can't import numpy in python3-dbg [21:49] freelancerbob, also if your hardrive has physical errors, TestDisk would probably bee the wrong tool [21:51] zteam: disk utility says: model,size,serial number, etc.. [21:51] zteam: hdd worke few days ago [21:51] d [21:53] zteam: what i have to do then ? [21:53] freelancerbob: can you tell us again what the general issue is? [21:53] freelancerbob, then you view your disk i Disk Utility it will say something like "Status Disk is okey" or "Status Disk bad sectors" [21:54] k1l_: i can access my external hdd, it wokred ok few days ok, then it stopped worked on windows, then it stopped worked on linuxs [21:55] freelancerbob: ok, can you run "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the output url? [21:55] zteam: i do not have status field in disk utility [21:56] freelancerbob, select the disk and click the the right button in disk utility and select smart status, then upload a picture of that please :-) [21:57] zteam: i am using lubuntu and there disk utility does not have this option [21:58] freelancerbob, it should have, do you see a button with lines on the right part of the window? [21:58] k1l_: http://termbin.com/bqr3 [21:59] zteam: ok that option is gray, you can choose it for that disk [21:59] seems that disk do not support smart [22:01] freelancerbob: and now "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" === kudu is now known as Guest87948 [22:03] k1l_: i have data on my HDD, what parted -l will do ? [22:04] freelancerbob: it will show the partition setup [22:05] k1l_: http://termbin.com/mnzu [22:06] k1l_: WD Elements 10A8 that is my external hdd [22:08] anybody there ? [22:08] freelancerbob, well since your harddrive does have a couple of bad sectors, have you tried running checkdisk on that drive? [22:09] zteam: tell me how, i tried run checkdisk on windows but it did not start [22:09] freelancerbob: did you try another usb port? [22:10] freelancerbob, well the syntax for checkdisk is chkdsk D: /R [22:11] freelancerbob, (assuming your external drive is mapped to D:) also checkdisk needs to be run as administrator [22:12] freelancerbob: also try a clean reboot from that system. seems like you did a standby inbetween [22:14] k1l_: you mean reboot my system or windows on another pc ? [22:14] i mean the ubuntu system [22:14] zteam: i just tried chkdsk and did not start [22:14] k1l_: ok give me minute [22:15] freelancerbob: for how to sort things on windows better ask in ##windows [22:16] freelancerbob, no questions from checkdisk about the volume being opened or something? === imr is now known as i- [22:22] k1l_: reboot did not help [22:22] can you plug it into that ubuntu machine again and then run "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" afterwards? [22:23] k1l_: http://termbin.com/8luv [22:24] freelancerbob: so what happens when you want to mount /dev/sdb1 in terminal? === arkantos is now known as Guest25746 [22:25] k1l_: you mean /dev/sdb no ? [22:25] what is sdb1 [22:25] sdb1 [22:25] sdb1 is the 1st partition on that disk. which is the ntfs one [22:26] mount: /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory [22:26] well, did you check the smart parameters of that disk? [22:27] k1l_: smart param are greyed and can't be run in disk utility [22:27] freelancerbob, you have to tell it where it should mount the file like disk: sudo mount/dev/sdb1 /media/usb [22:28] freelancerbob: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb === Guest25746 is now known as Arkantos [22:28] freelancerbob, but before that you need to do sudo mkdir /media/usb [22:29] k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175669/ [22:30] zteam: i have to try your command sudo mount/dev/sdb1 /media/usb ? [22:31] freelancerbob, yes, but you need to create the folder usb in media before with sudo mkdir /media/usb [22:31] sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1 # not sure it needs to be mounted [22:33] freelancerbob: your Western Digital Elements / My Passport (USB) disk *does* support S.M.A.R.T., as is reported by the output you posted earlier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175388/ [22:33] and according to that it seems ot be physically fine. [22:33] OerHeks, I thought about that too, but from what I know, it just clears the dirty point and fix a few very basic things, I don't think it can handle things like bad sectors really well [22:34] yeah, the smart parameters look ok to me. so i dont get what is wrong there. [22:35] anyone here that could help me load streams in the browser with mpv? I tried using this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_plugins#MozPlugger (this procedure should be distro agnostic)but I didn't get any results [22:35] zteam: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/usb mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist [22:35] freelancerbob: there can be logical errors, though, meaning file system errors, or partitioning errors. Which kil has recently tried to help you diagnose. [22:36] zteam: the hardware sector reallocation is 0. so hardware should be ok in that way. [22:38] k1l_, I may be wrong here but, are you supposed to read the raw value? the value is 200, from what I read [22:39] If this ext hdd works under windows, then it is infected. [22:40] OerHeks: no it is not works under windows at the moment [22:40] Hi [22:40] I have this problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/816982/missing-mouse-touchpad-options-ubuntu-16-04 [22:41] zteam: yes, the raw_value is the real count [22:41] But I dont know how can I solution [22:41] *do [22:41] did we get to see freelancerbob's parted -l output, yet? [22:41] freelancerbob, have u tried switching usb cable? [22:41] dmesg does not list any partitions on that disk [22:41] tomreyn, yes, some time ago, 1 500 gb ntfs partition [22:41] testdisk showed partitioon table inconsistencies [22:42] tomreyn: freelancerbob> k1l_: http://termbin.com/mnzu [22:42] i suggested ntfsfix but not sure it needs to be mounted [22:43] thanks k1l_ [22:43] k1l, okey so what's the other value about then? [22:43] for reference this was the testdisk output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175346/ [22:43] zteam: yes i just switch USb cable, same situation [22:43] (i don't know which comomands were run there) [22:43] tomreyn: well, now i see the sdb1 starting at 0B which means no partitiontable? [22:44] freelancerbob, do you have a usb2 port? worth a try to avoid usb3 culprit3 [22:44] k1l_: right, i just realized that, too [22:44] so testdisk wouldn't be helpful anyways [22:44] Partition Table: loop [22:45] so it's just: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sd [22:45] so it's just: sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb [22:45] ^ this [22:46] OerHeks: i just switch it to USB2 port [22:47] tomreyn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23175713/ [22:47] if a parttiontable is missing TestDisk would write a new one in no time at all [22:47] ok, this looks like the ntfs partition is put raw on the bare metal of that disk (which seems common on usb pendrives and some usb disks) [22:47] oke, just a thought, missed that i guess. [22:48] so i'm not familiar with ntfsfix, but this output doesn't seem to look very good. [22:49] still, you could try to mount it on windows again now [22:50] tomreyn: Unable to determine volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted. [22:51] :-/ [22:51] personally, i can't think of other options right now [22:52] it's possible that running testdisk on this disk (which does not have partiton table) made things worse. [22:54] freelancerbob: be sure to try it on a different computer before you reformat and restore your data. [22:54] tomreyn: i tried it on 2 computers, win7 both [22:55] freelancerbob: and neither worked? then i'd just reformat and restore the backups [22:55] i have some data there [22:56] you could still try your luck with pattern based file recovery tools such as photorec and foremost [22:58] ok do i have try photorec ? [22:59] that's not something i would do unless you don't have current backups (which you should have for any and all relevant data) [23:00] tomreyn: i have many photose there, there is not any way hot to fix it without formating ? [23:01] photorec or testdisk, you will need 500 gb free space on a drive [23:01] and filenames might be gone, hand search and rename [23:02] has he tried running TestDisk to let it create a new partition table for parttion? [23:02] freelancerbob: if you lack backups, and you want to do disk forensics, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Imaging_a_damaged_device.2C_filesystem_or_drive , then read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Extract_individual_files_from_recovered_image [23:02] zteam: we do not know [23:02] zteam: no i dont try testdisk [23:02] that's what TestDisk is made to do :-) [23:03] zteam: testdisk doesnt help here. some external disks come with no partitiontable but the partition on bare metal. [23:03] freelancerbob: you did run testdisk, based on the output you posted initally? [23:03] wait, are you victim of an encrypted hdd malware driveby?? [23:03] but hinestly: i would not touch that disk anymore before i would have done a dd_rescue backup image of it. [23:03] tomreyn: yes that was just some analysis, then I ctrl+C [23:04] freelancerbob: i see, so it didn't make any changes. [23:04] OerHeks: would those break the file system? [23:04] OerHeks, if he was he would probably know :-) [23:05] OerHeks: no i am not victim [23:05] Well, as the drive is pretty new, no hw failure and magic does not work to restore ntfs.. just a thought [23:06] i can run testdisk but seems you wrote it will not help [23:07] freelancerbob: do you have 500GB diskspace somewhere else? [23:07] my understanding so far (i admit i have not folowed it closely lately) is that those encrypting malwares would encrypt only document files. one of them also locks up windows in the end, and only shows a message at boot. but they surely have a need to display a message and not break the file system entirely. [23:07] k1l_: yes [23:07] never heard of it before, but TestDisk is supposed to be able to work with broken partition tables, however one thing worth nothing, Ubuntu likes a restart after fiddling with partitions before they show up correctly [23:08] freelancerbob: then i recommend you to make a image of that disk now, before you start changing things [23:08] i can what is good soft for making image [23:08] i'm with k1l there [23:08] dd_rescue [23:08] ddresuce [23:08] which is why i posted those two links above [23:09] it makes a 1to1 image. [23:09] I would highly recommend Gnu ddrescue before dd_rescue (these are 2 different software packages) [23:10] well, time to sleep, good night my friends :-) [23:10] zteam: me too, where you from ? [23:11] what exacly does the &-sign do in terminal? for example: find /usr & [23:11] freelancerbob, Sweden [23:11] freelancerbob, u? [23:11] Robin___, one & and two && do different things [23:11] Robin___: it puts the process into the background [23:12] zteam, k1l_ , tomreyn , OerHeks : thanks you i am going continue tomorrow, time for sleep now [23:12] zteam: slovakia [23:12] Robin___: use 'fg' to bring it back [23:12] freelancerbob: welcome + good night [23:12] freelancerbob, okey, :) you are welcome :-) [23:12] but what exacly am I finding when I do: find /usr & [23:13] Robin___: the same as you would without the trailing & [23:13] Robin___: it is a control character which is interpreted by your shell, and not passed to the find command as an argument [23:13] Robin___: the & at the end will make the process run in background and will bring you a new prompt. [23:14] ok thanks :) [23:14] those encryption malware are easy to defeat if you get to it quickly and don't make changes to the disk and just do a volume shadow copy recovery. there are a few around many dont restore the dir structures just the documents etc [23:16] Guest52289: so you're saying there are some which do destroy the directory structures? which ones would that be? [23:17] i cant recal the name of it but do a google search on recovering files from volume shadow copy and you should see dozens or more refferances but most dont restore file system structure they just pull out the files. just get what you want and put them back into ur docs folder when done [23:18] best to take drive out and put it in clean machine and just do the rtecovery dont copy stuff or access stuff on it [23:19] i still don't think any of them would break the file system, it's against the attackers' interests. [23:20] anyways, offtopic, i guess. [23:21] im talking about just getting the decrypted version of documents before the malware got to it. shadow copy means it writes to new place on disk and updates pointer to it and keeps a recored of the old data the shadow copy. helps to recover from corruption intentional or otherwise === Guest67489 is now known as spammy [23:22] each write means the last write is the shadow copy and the old shadow copy is lost to the free list === Guest41344 is now known as chu [23:30] when I try to put a local file to remote server through sftp it gives remote open("/home/ftpuser/filename.txt"): Permission denied [23:30] can you elaborate [23:31] So you dont have permissions to create that file on the remote server. [23:33] i login using filezilla as sftp user username with the password and it displays all the folders in root file system. why is it so? [23:33] I want only the /home/username to be listed. [23:34] you can browse to /home/username, depending on the client you can set it to start in /home/username [23:34] or, you can chroot === fguillot is now known as fguillot_afk [23:35] how to enable chroot in sftp, I know you can enable it in vsftpd? [23:35] it's more trouble than it's worth, imo === [R]azvan is now known as Razvan [23:48] hola [23:49] I followed this yet I can see the entire file system of my vps why? https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/limiting-access-with-sftp-jails-on-debian-and-ubuntu [23:52] Hey! I;ve got problem with my gtx 1070 drivers. I just installed geforce drivers but now, screen connected right to MB is now visible [23:52] installed how and from where pingwindyktator [23:54] the 1000 nvidia cards do need the ubuntu video drivers team ppa, at least [23:56] bazhang: 41 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa [23:56] 42 sudo apt update [23:56] 43 sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall [23:56] sorry for that [23:57] drivers works correctly I guess - screen connected to gpu is visible. but another one is not
