[00:09] <hepstars> VGA compatible controller: Nvidia C67 GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M (rev a2)
[00:12] <hepstars> Guest session is the same black screen
[00:12] <Bashing-om> hepstars: 7150M OR ya mean 750M ?
[00:13] <hepstars> 7150M
[00:14] <Bashing-om> hepstars: K.. that be the 304 version driver . What did you install ?
[00:15] <hepstars> the current driver
[00:16] <hepstars> not sure what number that is
[00:17] <hepstars> how to see?
[00:17] <Bashing-om> hepstars: ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' in a pastenin .., see what is installed .
[00:18] <Bashing-om> hepstars: pastebin site *
[00:19] <hepstars> how to get it pasted there from bash?
[00:19] <OerHeks> hepstars, complete topic about your gpu https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2276351 i think only nouveau will work
[00:20] <hepstars> it says 304.131-0ubuntu3
[00:20] <Bashing-om> hepstars: Run ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | nc termbin.com 999 ' the result is a URL back in terminal . Pass that link back here .
[00:20] <hepstars> OerHeks, nouveau just distorts every thing
[00:23] <hepstars> i do not get a url in return
[00:23] <stan_man_can> in "files" is there any way to remove some of the shortcuts on the left?
[00:23] <stan_man_can> Document, music, pictures, videos, none of those need to be there
[00:25] <hepstars> ah, one 9 to little :) http://termbin.com/xy97
[00:25] <hepstars> sorry. this is correct: http://termbin.com/yx97

[00:36] <HomeSchoolDad> Hi, is there a way to use google cloud print from ubuntu without uploading to drive?
[00:36] <Afteraffekt> Is there a vm for linux that i can boot in linux to run Windows and use GPU passthrough and still be able to use my gpu for linnux too?
[00:37] <Bashing-om> hepstars: Ouch ! still no cursor ?
[00:37] <hepstars> i rebooted now
[00:38] <HomeSchoolDad> Hi, is there a way to use google cloud print from ubuntu without uploading to drive?
[00:41] <AciD`> note to self: when update-grub do not want to find other os on your computer, you need to install os-prober.
[00:43] <HomeSchoolDad> Hi, is there a way to use google cloud print from ubuntu without uploading to drive?
[00:43] <Bashing-om> AciD`: ' sudo chmod +x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ' is the better way to go .
[00:44] <AciD`> Bashing-om > in order to do that (which you don't need), you first have to havd the os-prober package
[00:44] <AciD`> (which you don't when you debootstraped)
[00:44] <Bashing-om> AciD`: OH .. ho kay ! .. got me there .
[00:44] <AciD`> now to make steam work and to install skype
[00:49] <HomeSchoolDad> Can I install a could printer so it is an option in apps like libreoffice?
[00:50] <nacc> AciD`: steam is in the partner repository
[00:50] <lordcirth> HomeSchoolDad, a what printer?
[00:50] <nacc> lordcirth: i think it was a typo, 'cloud'
[00:50] <AciD`> nacc -> yes it is, but then you encounter errors like  "fatal error: failed to load steamui.so", due to  https://paste.kde.org/p8n3x1pnl
[00:50] <nacc> based upon the prior message
[00:51] <AciD`> a shame that the steam package just does not depends on those packages..
[00:51] <nacc> AciD`: uh, i've never had any problems
[00:51] <HomeSchoolDad> I meant cloud
[00:51] <nacc> AciD`: why are you in '.local/share/Steam...' ? I have no such directory
[00:52] <AciD`> nacc -> because steam can't make its mind
[00:52] <AciD`> I was in ~/.steam before, I just installed a new os, moved my home folder, and now steam wants to use .local/share/Steam
[00:53] <AciD`> last time it did that, it just rm'ed all my previous steam dir...
[00:53] <HomeSchoolDad> lor
[00:53] <popsch> does anyone know why this doesn't work: echo "/usr/bin/bash,3" | xargs -I{} echo $(basename {} | cut -d , -f 1 )
[00:53] <popsch> this should return "bash"
[00:55] <Ricky1997> Greetings
[00:56] <nacc> popsch: what does it do instead?
[00:56] <popsch> nacc: it prints /usr/bin/bash,3
[00:57] <daynaskully> {Q} is there a way to force a client to a specific AP?
[00:57] <nacc> popsch: i think you are misusing the {} to xargs, as `basename "/usr/bin/bash,3" | cut -d, -f1` does what you want
[00:58] <nacc> AciD`: hrm, maybe something changed recently then, 16.04's steam was working fine for me
[00:58] <energizer_> Nmcli ethernet interface says unavailable. What can I do?
[00:58] <popsch> nacc, it's the problem with piping input out of basename
[00:58] <AciD`> nacc -> lucky you, I always had to use specific cmdline to make it work
[00:58] <nacc> AciD`: always using the partner steam?
[00:59] <AciD`> nacc -> I am currently, but I wasn't before
[00:59] <nacc> AciD`: well that's probably the primary issue :)
[01:00] <nacc> AciD`: no guarantee of compatibilty for non-archive versions of steam to the archive version
[01:01] <AciD`> ok I'm getting close : https://paste.kde.org/ptqyt2atp
[01:01] <AciD`> weirdly, I already have libxfixes3, libxext6, libxtst6 installed, but they are still not found
[01:01] <nacc> AciD`: given your path, do you need the 32-bit version of them?
[01:02] <AciD`> and trying to install the 32bit with apt install libxfixes3:i386 for instance, does not work
[01:03] <trism> popsch: seems the substitution is happening afterwards, check out: echo "/usr/bin/bash,3" | xargs -I{} echo $(echo {} | xxd);
[01:04] <SchrodingersScat> the answer to bash is always more quotes
[01:05] <nacc> heh
[01:06] <energizer_> What does ethernet interface unavailable mean
[01:09] <nacc> AciD`: fwiw, on my system, those libs are not system-installed but seem to come bundled with steam -- e.g., ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6
[01:09] <nacc> AciD`: but that was on 16.04, on 16.10, steam doesn't want to start for presumably a different reason :)
[01:10] <AciD`> nacc -> I'm on 16.05, and do have those ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXtst.so.6 files
[01:10] <AciD`> it seems steam is ignoring its own files :|
[01:10] <nacc> AciD`: well, you're not telling it to look there?
[01:10] <nacc> AciD`: i'm guessing there's wrapper scripts that set LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly
[01:10] <nacc> AciD`: in your case, you've overridden it only be .
[01:13] <AciD`> this is what I get when I do not mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH : https://paste.kde.org/pusyu5fnh
[01:13] <nacc> AciD`: strange
[01:14] <AciD`> I added the i386 architecture via dpkg
[01:14] <AciD`> now, if I want to install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386, shouldn't I do `apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386`?
[01:14] <AciD`> this returns "E: Unable to locate package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386"
[01:15] <nacc> AciD`: did you `apt-get update`?
[01:16] <AciD`> huhu, that noob error! no, I did not!!
[01:16] <AciD`> ;)
[01:20] <nacc> AciD`: that'd do it :)
[01:21] <rc_liveusb> What's the best way to copy a smaller disk to a larger disk byte for byte using dd? if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=Size of disk buffer?
[01:22] <rc_liveusb> or does setting the bytes read/write per operation not really matter that much
[01:25] <nacc> AciD`: fwiw, i purged steam on my 16.10 (i figure it can always re-download my small amount of local data) `rm -rf .steam`, reinstalled steam and it's starting up fine (16.10, again)
[01:27] <Polarcraft> If I add google's dns ip to my boxes networking configuration what would happen?

[01:55] <circ-user-CjRnk> Trying to create an Ubuntu machine on a win 7 machine.  Trying to install 14.04.  This came up when I tried to install ubuntu http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l269/con_movies/Capture2_zpsmuwfbx69.png
[01:56] <hepstars> Out of the box Ubuntu 16.04 runs with the nouveau driver. This is on my computer looking like a mess. Distorted screen on bootloader, login and in Unity desktop. Black lines and strange offsets going on there. With the Nvidia 304 driver all looks good but after login i get a black screen. Mouse still working. With 340 and 361 drivers all look good but I can not login to Unity desktop and it keeps going back to login screen after each
[01:58] <hepstars> I have tried most solutions of what I have found through Google. Starting to give up on Ubuntu :/
[01:58] <danc3> rexwin__: you're welcome
[01:59] <danc3> hepstars: you need to "blacklist" the nouveau driver, google it, it's easy.  Then the nVidia driver will work properly.

[02:44] <cantoo> i request assistance from my community at large.  i'm working and have a work requirement of saving a cheese audio/video live stream to my ~/Dropbox box.  is this possible using cheese and if not, can it be done under ubuntu 16.04 lts using another application that something anyone can do, that may not be a technical genius or know it all ?
[02:50] <cantoo> is i save to the default cheese save video with audio directory.  is there a ln -s or similar command that will duplicated it exactly as it is written to the hard drive ?
[02:50] <cantoo> thats if i accept the default directory can i duplicate it to another as if raid and 100% crc check ?  i want to use cheese and duplicate file for other destination
[02:51] <megalography> "cheese"?
[02:51] <cantoo> audio and video recording sofware
[02:51] <cantoo> under ubuntu 16.04
[02:51] <cantoo> it saves to a directory and i want it to "while save" duplicate it to ~/Dropbox
[02:51] <cantoo> is if possible ?
[02:52] <akik> cantoo: i heard lsyncd can do it
[02:52] <cantoo> does hard or soft link do this ?  or does it just do something like filename and timestamp etc
[02:53] <cantoo> you the king for real akik.  i declassify myself.  everyone needs a winner, never a LOSER.  thanks !  someone buy him a bank roll of what it worth.
[02:55] <AhToyMaker> when you restore a disk image... is that putting the image on the device or the contents of the image on the device?
[02:56] <AhToyMaker> is disk image writer completely different from usb-creator-gtk?

[06:43] <ducasse> xrandallx: describe your issue clearly, and we'll try :)
[06:45] <xrandallx> i keep having issues with not being able to use the left clicker on the mouse I thought it was the wireless mouse so i went wired and it has a mind of its own that at times it allows me to click in and out of windows
[06:46] <xrandallx> like right now its fine but within a few minutes I wont be able to click again its like it freezes me from being able to click in windows
[06:46] <gr1dl0ck> anything in the logs
[06:47] <xrandallx> where and what do i type to get that info
[06:49] <ducasse> xrandallx: is the whole desktop frozen, or just the mouse? does the keyboard work?
[06:50] <xrandallx> keyboard does work just the mouse i cant click if i wait a few minutes I can click again
[06:51] <ducasse> xrandallx: have you updated recently so all available updates are installed?
[06:52] <xrandallx> yes they are just checked about 30 mins ago
[06:53] <ducasse> xrandallx: i don't really know what to suggest, just keep asking every now and then and hope someone can help, but be aware that it is really quiet here around this time. will be better in an hour or two.
[06:53] <xrandallx> okay thank you
[06:54] <ducasse> xrandallx: in the mean time, if this is a usb mouse, have you tried another port?
[06:55] <xrandallx> yes i have

[07:09] <bazhang> amarok is qt based I though

[08:10] <KlausedSource> hey, this question might be a little odd but does anyone know of a program/driver to create hpgl2 files from pdf?
[08:10] <ducasse> rumflump: you can do 'apt-get -o APT::Install-Recommends=true install whatever', don't know about aptitude.
[08:11] <akik> rumflump: man aptitude says "-r, --with-recommends"
[08:12] <akik> the same as APT::Install-Recommends
[08:15] <rumflump> ok, I suppose there isn't one in the -curses client. I've been poking around awhile. thanks for the alternatives!
[08:16] <rumflump> can flag them manually on the preview screen,at least

[08:18] <fugalfugu> hi, i am using ubuntu 14.04.5 and I can not connect to a speficif wifi. Other wifis work though. No messages in dmesg. Networkmanager just gives up (does not even ask for password of the troublesome wifi). I can connect with an other laptop to said wifi.
[08:18] <rumflump> oh, that's a cool idea akik . it would be very logical. it appears to me that is only for actually installing from the commandline, however. tested it by running sudo aptitude -r and then did a + on wesnoth

[08:27] <wandering_vagran> which is to say, how do you guys approach security patching of a fleet of ubuntu machines?
[08:27] <CipherZero> thanks Ben64
[08:27] <wandering_vagran> Ben64, apt-get distro-upgrade?
[08:28] <Ben64> right, that isn't a thing
[08:28] <vbotka> CipherZero, - is used to keep current environment, mainly
[08:28] <wandering_vagran> Ben64, sorry dist-upgrade
[08:28] <k1l> wandering_vagran: apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:29] <wandering_vagran> yeah that one
[08:29] <wandering_vagran> my mistake
[08:29] <Ben64> and doing apt-get with a grep doesn't make sense
[08:29] <wandering_vagran> Ben64, okay, let me try to re-phrase the question.
[08:29] <fugalfugu> ping? am I mute?
[08:29] <anddam> fugalfugu: yes
[08:30] <wandering_vagran> How do I find out security updates in a box without actually installing them?
[08:30] <wandering_vagran> to list packages needing update love?
[08:31] <wandering_vagran> I was looking at http://askubuntu.com/questions/194/how-can-i-install-just-security-updates-from-the-command-line
[08:41] <sgo11> this is something new. when I try to format my new harddisk to ext4, gparted warned me that "no partition table is found". I have to create partition table first. I never did this before... which partition table type should I select? I used ubuntu for many years. I never have to select a partition table type before...
[08:42] <Mathisen> sgo11, mbr for non uefi gpt for uefi.. gpt otherwise is a better choice more primary partitions can be made and bigger then 2 TB
[08:43] <sgo11> Mathisen, how to check which partition table I am using with my current harddrive? I tried sudo fdisk -l, it doesn't mention partition table at all. thanks.
[08:44] <Mathisen> sgo11, sudo parted /dev/sdX print
[08:45] <elichai2> hey
[08:45] <elichai2> anyone knows a ppa for updated libboost libraries?
[08:45] <sgo11> Mathisen, interesting... it's msdos.
[08:45] <Mathisen> sgo11, that would be mbr
[08:48] <sgo11> Mathisen, ok. mbr = msdos. so should I choose gpt? I will use this harddrive in different PCs. Some are uefi. Some are not.
[08:48] <Mathisen> sgo11, i cant say.. it is your choice
[08:48] <gebruiker> Hello
[08:49] <gebruiker> Is ubuntu safer than windows 10 ?
[08:49] <sgo11> Mathisen, which one is better? what ubuntu installer will do?
[08:50] <vlt> gebruiker: Depends on what safer means to you.
[08:50] <Mathisen> sgo11, for a non uefi machine use mbr
[08:50] <gebruiker> vlt, i mean if ubuntu would represent a vault, would that vault be the same as windows 10 ?
[08:51] <sgo11> Mathisen, I am creating an external harddrive. so it will plug into different machines.
[08:53] <Mathisen> sgo11, pls do some google work yourself.. i cant know what you gonna use it for and how..
[08:53] <Mathisen> sgo11, you can easly find info on the diffrence
[08:53] <Anticom> Hi all. I just shut down my machine to change a fan and now that i've booted it up again my virtualbox vm is gone
[08:53] <Anticom> I'm on xenial
[08:53] <Anticom> any ideas how to diagnose?
[08:54] <vlt> gebruiker: I don’t know if the vault analogy is very good. What do you have in that vault and what might happen to it?
[08:55] <vlt> Anticom: Did you have your VM image on a separate hars drive that is now disconnected?
[08:55] <vlt> *hard
[08:55] <Anticom> vlt: How do i tell? Thing is the ~/VirtualBox VMs/<name of vm> folder is still there
[08:55] <Anticom> but it's empty
[08:56] <sgo11> Mathisen, I am doing the google now (before and after I asked the question). I don't understand, that's why I asked the question here. I will use it as an external harddrive to store all types of files. database, code, files, images, videos, all types. and connect to all different type of machines. windows, ubuntu, debian, raspbian. some are uefi and some are not. anyway, I am googling now. thanks for your help.
[08:56] <Ben64> sgo11: you're going to want msdos (probably)
[08:57] <gebruiker> vlt, the vault is just a construction of safety where I can potentially put things in. There is nothing in it. I recently watched a video of Richard Stallman where he explained his concerns about ubuntu, two things 1) encouragement of properitary software as an excuse for convience which according to him does not teach the ideals of GNU 2) search keywords being collected by somethingthatubuntuisconnectedto-the-word-is-to-long-to-remembe
[08:57] <gebruiker> r and being sold, so in a way this would mean a form of spying
[08:57] <Ben64> sgo11: unless the disk is over 2TB, then you (pretty much) have to use gpt
[08:58] <sgo11> Ben64, OK. got it. thanks.
[08:58] <sveinse> Is it known that dpkg fails installing mysql-server-5.7 if this server has been disabled?
[08:59] <Anticom> vlt: Is there any way i can tell any FS related issues?
[08:59] <sveinse> Is that a bug, or can dpkg install script assume that services for that upgrade is running?
[09:00] <elichai2> is it possible to write on the repo line `testing` instead of `yakkety`?
[09:00] <vlt> Anticom: You can go fsck your ... file system ;-)  Maybe the VM was not shutdown properly.
[09:00] <elichai2> (so i'll always stay on the testing version)
[09:01] <Anticom> OH
[09:01] <Anticom> think i'm logged in with the wrong account .__.
[09:02] <Anticom> brb
[09:04] <Anticom> I think i can't facepalm that hard... indeed it was simply the wrong account i was logged into
[09:09] <sgo11> Mathisen, Ben64, thank you both very much for your answers again. I gotta go. thanks and bye.
[09:13] <dayday_> What is the last ubuntu version that has a gcc v3.*
[09:15] <k1l> dayday_: even 12.04 got 4.6 already. so there is no supported ubuntu
[09:45] <ghost_> guys i get failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com , three types Source , binary-amd64 , binary-i386 , hash sum mismatch
[09:45] <ghost_> can anybody help me to resolve it
[09:49] <ducasse> ghost_: try another mirror or just wait and try later.
[09:50] <ghost_> ducasse: how wait will help?
[09:50] <ghost_> ducasse: how i edit mirror list in ubnuntu?
[09:51] <ducasse> ghost_: because the mirror will be updated, these things are often temporary.
[09:51] <ducasse> ghost_: you can change mirror in the "software and updates" settings, iirc
[09:52] <EriC^^> cache will be updated with time
[09:53] <ghost_> ducasse: and via cli , as it unelab and it was come without the gui interface
[09:53] <ducasse> !mirrors | ghost_
[09:54] <Guest69250> hi
[09:54] <ghost_> ducasse: ok ,thanks
[09:55] <Guest69250> i installed ubuntu sutdio and my joypad is not recognized by qJoypad

[09:58] <Guest69250> nvm it works :d
[10:03] <ren0v0> Hi, can someone please recommend some software for photo organising RAW+JPEG pairs? I want to stack them and be able to delete just the RAW from certain groups
[10:08] <paroxp> cli <3
[10:10] <ren0v0> cli??!??!?!?!? OMG
[10:10] <ren0v0> paroxp, just not practical :)
[10:10] <paroxp> meh
[10:10] <ren0v0> I have 2000+ files currently that i want to run through, flag, and then process, you can't replace lightroom, shotwell, digiKam etc with CLI
[10:11] <ren0v0> meh, it doesn't cover what i'm asking :)
[10:13] <biotechy2k> doesn't startx give you the chance to use graphical interface haven't used that command or done any research on it
[10:13] <k1l> biotechy2k: dont use startx on ubuntu. start the lightdm
[10:14] <sopparus> hello im allready 99 % sure but dmesg will show interfaces which has no driver/doesnt work right?
[10:14] <ren0v0> biotechy2k, no idea what relevance that has
[10:14] <sopparus> they will be listed anyway that is
[10:14] <biotechy2k> no probs with that I don't need access to a server only have ubuntu on my pc at home and the work pc is shudder win XP in the chefs office LOL
[10:14] <Triffid_Hunter> sopparus: yes, as will lspci/lsusb
[10:15] <sopparus> Triffid_Hunter, thanks for confirming
[10:15] <Triffid_Hunter> ren0v0: well once you have 'em tagged, cli is the best spot to walk a whole directory tree, check tag and delete unwanted files
[10:16] <uczen> jjjjj
[10:16] <biotechy2k> from what little I've read it says that startx shouldn't be used with gnome-shell or unity as it can mess up your configuration
[10:16] <ren0v0> Triffid_Hunter, i'm not sure how these apps actually "tag", i wasn't referring to writing to the files, i just rate them, or flag them internally. Shotwell does group RAW+JPEG, but doesn't give the option to delete just a single one
[10:17] <hateball> biotechy2k: shouldnt be used with any reasonably modern DE really
[10:17] <Triffid_Hunter> ren0v0: perhaps they use filesystem attributes, or an sqlite database or flat file or something
[10:18] <ren0v0> Triffid_Hunter, maybe, really i was here asking if anyone knew software that did this, its not exactly "out there", to me is seems like a basic requirement for photo management, not sure why shotwell doesn't do it but maybe there is some software that does hence my question
[10:18] <biotechy2k> Thx Hateball I'll defintly remember that I have enough probs with unity hanging when I'm popcorning through a good movie mate LOL
[10:26] <biotechy2k> so I read an article today on searching google from the terminal? has any peeps here done this? and if you how was it?
[10:34] <cico_> hi

[10:37] <_dragonlord_> what is the command to list all audio soundcard ?
[10:37] <G66K> hello everyone
[10:37] <G66K> i was wondering how to enable root user to access ssh
[10:37] <G66K> cause i can only connect with normal user
[10:38] <k1l> G66K: that is an awfull idea
[10:38] <G66K> k1l, i need it for programming purpose
[10:38] <k1l> G66K: connect with the regular user and use sudo if really needed after logged in
[10:38] <k1l> G66K: there is no "programming purpose" to justify that.
[10:38] <G66K> thats didnt work with stfp
[10:39] <hateball> :|
[10:39] <k1l> G66K: so give your user the proper groups and give that files/folders the proper file permissions. that is in no way a "programming purpose" for using root login
[10:39] <G66K> for stfp you have to supply the regular user
[10:41] <cappe> so this result is making me worried, could you tell me if I'm hacked please?
[10:41] <cappe> running: netstat -p -e --inet --numeric-hosts brings a result like this: TCP, 192.0.73.2:https TIME_WAIT user: root Inode: 0 Pid/Program name: -
[10:42] <cappe> all the other lines brings cappe as user
[10:43] <cappe> well?
[10:43] <hal9dk> Hi guys! I just installed cairo-dock and i LOVE it! But im using ubuntu 16.04 and still got some problems with my unity sidebar, i autohid it and made it really small. The only problem is when im opening a new program, the icons in the side launcer(unity) bounces? I know it's only semi related, but no one answered at askubuntu. http://askubuntu.com/questions/825505/how-to-disable-unity-side-panel-after-cairo-dock-install
[10:45] <biotechy2k> quick question why does every one keep changing their nicnames? on this forum
[10:50] <k1l> biotechy2k: this is not a forum, its irc :)
[10:52] <biotechy2k> k1l my apologies while I've been playing with hard ware and old soft ware for over 3 decades sometimes us elderly old woman don't always keep up with the ever changing jargon, If I have offended anyone I am truly sorry, I will endeavour to use correct TERMinology in future.
[10:53] <k1l> biotechy2k: hehe, no problem. but the point i tried to make is that the usage of a forum and irc are different. on forums you dont really change nicks. on irc its inside the protocol.
[10:55] <biotechy2k> so has anyone ever put this in there teminal it's not harmful but great to give your eyes a rest when playing around with CLI <curl -4 http://wttr.in/YourCityName>
[10:55] <k1l> on other irc networks people put their status inside the nick, like k1l_sleeping or k1l_work. but this is not well-received on freenode.
[10:56] <biotechy2k> hell you can google my nick name and you will see photo's of me mind you they are not particularly flattering and one is of me with the leader of the opposition who jst didn't quite make it to being Prime Minister last election LOL
[10:59] <SupaYoshi> Does anyone know how I can read this thing out, http://imgur.com/a/XZ3wV
[10:59] <SupaYoshi> I can't find any USB adapters for it.
[11:00] <boriseto> In 16.04 I can see that if I install updates only by the old SoftwareUpdater, some OS updates (snapd and similar) are only shown with the new Ubuntu Software (Gnome Software). Will those updates be installed by apt in terminal, or..?
[11:00] <ducasse> SupaYoshi: try ##hardware
[11:00] <k1l> SupaYoshi: i suggest you ask in ##hardware
[11:01] <biotechy2k> boriseto: I have found in the short time I've used Ubuntu the terminal is a much more efficient way of downloading software, updates and installing packages, I get less broken packages using terminal hope that helps mate
[11:03] <ducasse> boriseto: 'sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade' will install all updates
[11:04] <boriseto> biotechy2k, I understand that and I usually go for updating via terminal but sometimes I miss an update notification because it doesn't open the new Gnome Software and there were updates there...
[11:04] <boriseto> ducasse, thanks, will try that out.
[11:05] <biotechy2k> boriseto: Have you tried posting that question on the Ask Ubuntu, lots of helpful gurus and developers on that forum
[11:05] <boriseto> ducasse, just checked the man, so full-upgrade is the same with dist-upgrade, right?
[11:06] <ducasse> boriseto: yes
[11:06] <boriseto> biotechy2k, nope. :) it wasn't that big of a deal, I was just curious and wanted to get fast feedback, that's why I relly mainly on the IRC channels.
[11:07] <ducasse> boriseto: imo full-upgrade is a better term than dist-upgrade, though
[11:08] <boriseto> ducasse, yeah, but wasn't used that very often. For me it was the first time seeing that option.
[11:08] <biotechy2k> boriseto: I'm a newbie to Linux mate been using it all of about 6 to 8 weeks, but back in the old days used to phone hack to get free calls old school, I just like playing with hardware and software mate, don't work in IT, used to program a PDP11 with mark sensor cards and a HB pencil, scripted in DOS when we had the win 3.1 now teaching myself Linux and a few other languages.
[11:10] <boriseto> biotechy2k, all good, you'll fall in love with the comunity here. I'm not that of a new user, been using Linux based OS since ever, but will never call myself advanced, after I've met a few preety cool and scary guys here (they know their s#3t). There are a lot of channels with a lot of people that are willing to help.

[11:20] <BlenderPro> what ubuntu can I use on a pentium 3 laptop
[11:21] <biotechy2k> BlenderPro: : pretty much any thing you want check out some youtube vids about ubuntu, cinnamon, mint and have a look around find one you like and go for it
[11:21] <ducasse> BlenderPro: try something light, like lubuntu
[11:22] <BlenderPro> lubuntu had flaws I remember
[11:22] <ducasse> BlenderPro: everything does.
[11:23] <BlenderPro> I was using 10.04 but I don't know if my laptop of the drivers for the wifi are failing
[11:24] <biotechy2k> Pointblank: I use thunderbird but there is also claws mail, Evolution, Geary, Kmail and N1 that's all I can think of off the top of my head mate
[11:24] <ducasse> BlenderPro: 10.04 is eol, i suggest you upgrade to at least 12.04
[11:25] <Pointblank> biotechy2k The idea is something like this: http://help.twitterfeed.com/knowledgebase
[11:25] <BlenderPro> ducasse, 10.04 was nice to me
[11:26] <BlenderPro> to my resources
[11:26] <vahe> how to watch who is connected and what ssh does?
[11:26] <biotechy2k> back later peeps stay human got to help a friend hack her mac she forgot the damn p/w again I swear she'd for get her head if it wasn't attached caio
[11:26] <vahe> eating such a program,how to watch who is connected and what ssh does?
[11:28] <ducasse> BlenderPro: it's still dead, so not updated. which means insecure.
[11:31] <irishman2020> if you're concerned about resources, check out lubuntu. its lighter on the resources

[12:06] <deserteagle> hi
[12:06] <th0r> we need to change more commands in linux so the learning curve is more interesting
[12:07] <bazhang> th0r, suggest that on a mailing list
[12:07] <zetheroo> with rsync is it possible to transfer only the ownership perms from the backup files to the existing files? say the backup files still have all the correct ownerships but the currently used files have messed up ownership - can rsync be used to restore the usr:grp parameters to the current files from the backup files?
[12:07] <bazhang> !lists | th0r
[12:07] <cri13> hello all ! what is the command to show FireWire audio devices in terminal ?
[12:08] <zetheroo> -p doesn't seem to carry over the ownership
[12:08] <bazhang> perhaps sudo lshw cri13
[12:08] <zetheroo> -a (or -og) does carry over the ownership, but it also overwrites the file entirely
[12:08] <th0r> bazhang, my bad...comment was meant for another channel where we were trying to find the new version of an old command
[12:09] <lordcirth> zetheroo, try -a
[12:09] <lordcirth> nvrm
[12:09] <lordcirth> zetheroo, so -p is seeing that the file exists and not editing the permissions, but -a is overwriting it all, which takes too long?
[12:10] <cri13> bazh, it shows all system devices... BTW, yesterday i arrived to have sound, i needed to launch from kernel 4.20 instead of 4.40....
[12:10] <cri13> but now ireinstalled with 14.04 and she is not detected... (i need 14.04 as its the ubuntu that works with ffado and my card
[12:13] <zetheroo> lordcirth: -p only transfers the rwx perms, -og (or -a) transfers the usr:grp perms, but I don't want it to overwrite the files - just restore the usr:grp
[12:17] <cri13> ah my soundcard is listed in "alsamixer" but not in pulse audio mixer

[13:36] <blablagiraffe> I am on latest LTS with all updates (16.04 I think)
[13:36] <blablagiraffe> any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
[13:37] <blablagiraffe> E.g. where would logs for the components in question go? or what are these even called? Looks like the WM fails to start (no window title bars etc)
[13:48] <blablagiraffe> So you may have read my previous messages... I am on LTS 16.04 and it looks like unity(?) won't start anymore, the thing that does window decorations, dock, status bar, ...
[13:48] <blablagiraffe> any hints on how to debug this are greatly appreciated
[13:49] <ducasse> blablagiraffe: look at ~/.xsession-errors
[13:49] <ruind> after rebooting wireless is not working.  Network manager says wireless unmanaged
[13:49] <ruind> I can 'sudo iwlist scan'
[13:49] <ruind> but I want to be able to select from a list of SSIDs
[13:49] <ruind> via the GUI
[13:50] <blablagiraffe> ducasse: it says "openConnection: connect: no such file or directory"
[13:50] <blablagiraffe> ducasse: and "cannot connect to brltty at :0"
[13:52] <ruind> how do I get network manager to manage wlan0 again
[13:52] <ruind> ?
[13:53] <ducasse> blablagiraffe: the brltty thing is probably not relevant, no clue about the other one.
[13:55] <erriy> ruind: try wifi-menu, or networkmanager nm-cli, that's all i know about wireless connect
[13:57] <ziyan_> Hello, I am having an Ubuntu server with a custom compilation of nginx, that is for Google PageSpeed module. Running apt-get upgrade seems to break the page-speed module and need recompiling. What can be done in a situation like this?
[14:00] <drfish> quit
[14:00] <ruind> erriy, I commented out the 'wlan0' entries in /etc/network/interfaces and also set 'managed=true
[14:01] <ruind> in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[14:01] <ruind> and the key.... I rebooted
[14:01] <ruind> works now
[14:01] <ruind> simply restarting network-manager service was apparently insufficent
[14:08] <najtro> Hi
[14:13] <ruind> how do I get network-manager to start by default?  Theres not entry for it in /etc/init.d/
[14:13] <ruind> but there is one in /etc/init/network-manager.conf
[14:15] <regedit> anyone here have ubuntu with nginx? does /etc/nginx/conf.d/ exist by default? or was it my debian sysadmin who created it not being familiar with sites-available/ and sites-enabled/
[14:16] <erriy> ruind: try service network-manager enable or /etc/init.d/network-manager enable, i'm not sure about this, not in ubuntu now
[14:16] <akik> regedit: you can check the package contents with dpkg -L nginx
[14:16] <regedit> akik: i tried that but it hardly shows anything... looks like just a few things in /usr/share/doc
[14:17] <akik> regedit: dpkg -l | grep nginx ?
[14:17] <akik> regedit: sorry i don't use it so i don't know the correct package name
[14:17] <regedit> akik: 3 lines there with 'ii' at the beginning
[14:19] <regedit> ah nginx-common was it
[14:19] <ehermes> I'm running into an issue where my screen sessions are getting killed when I log off on the latest Ubuntu 16.04. I set "KillUserProcesses=no" in /etc/systemd/logind.conf, but it doesn't appear to have had any effect, even after rebooting. I'm unsure where to go from here
[14:19] <regedit> does look like /etc/nginx/conf.d is there by default
[14:19] <regedit> thanks akik
[14:20] <mokl> hi
[14:23] <ehermes> If I run screen with "systemd-run --scope --user screen" it persists across sessions
[14:23] <ehermes> Is my only option to alias screen to that command?
[14:24] <tmus> skylake laptop (thinkpad t460s) won't boot with external display attached (hangs)... binary i915 firmware blobs are installed and i've tried newer mainline kernels that appear to have worked for others (4.6.7). any ideas?
[14:29] <poorUser> Hi people! i report a funny thing. I have 2 monitors, when i try to change their relative position through the "Monitor" panel, the image is shifted in the monitor. EG i i move a bit down one screen and what i see is half screen black and the top bar in the middle :D
[14:29] <akik> ehermes: what do you mean persist across sessions?
[14:30] <Pointblank> Hi. Anybody using program bti from repository? For twitter. I made an application on twitter, saved config file with consumer_key and consumer_secret. I wisited page and confirmed autorization. Still, when running bti it requests pin again.
[14:30] <akik> ehermes: screen does that by default
[14:31] <xangua> !info bti
[14:31] <xangua> Oh didn't knew it
[14:31] <ehermes> akik: I mean that if I create a screen session, deatch it, then log off the machine, when I come back it's been killed.
[14:31] <ehermes> detach*
[14:31] <akik> ehermes: oh ok that's because systemd kills it
[14:31] <ehermes> This does not occur on any of the CentOS/Debian/etc systems
[14:32] <akik> ehermes: there was a config change to systemd not to kill user processes at logout
[14:32] <ehermes> akik: I disabled that functionality in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
[14:32] <ehermes> and it still occurs, even after a reboot. I explained this in my original questino
[14:32] <ehermes> (not to be rude, I appreciate your help)
[14:33] <akik> ehermes: oh ok now i see it
[14:34] <ehermes> I have a workaround using systemd-run but I would like an actual solution
[14:34] <akik> ehermes: well that should've fixed it. don't know why it didn't
[14:35] <ehermes> I agree with your assessment
[14:35] <xangua> Pointblank: according to bti README file, you should use the consumer key and secret shipped with the source
[14:35] <akik> ehermes: did you check that your screen socket dir is there after logout
[14:36] <akik> ehermes: /var/run/screen/S-username
[14:36] <ehermes> akik: one moment
[14:36] <ehermes> akik: no, it is gone when I log back in
[14:36] <ehermes> unless I run screen with systemd-run, in which case it remains
[14:36] <Pointblank> xangua Thank you for response. What do you mean? I made sudo apt-get install bti, then i placed file .bti in my home directory and there I wrote consumer_key= ...string ... and consumer_secret=...string... then I tried to post to twitter.
[14:37] <dusty225> Good morning. Does a standard Ubuntu installation have/enforce SElinux by default?
[14:37] <akik> ehermes: it seems to be that /var/run is actually /run nowadays
[14:37] <ehermes> I believe it is a symlink
[14:37] <ehermes> because both are identical
[14:37] <akik> ehermes: you can control where screen puts its socket with SCREENDIR env. variable
[14:38] <akik> ehermes: maybe systemd cleans that socket dir
[14:38] <ducasse> dusty225: no, it doesn't
[14:38] <xangua> Pointblank: it means you use the bti keys, not to create your own and use them, the GitHub repository has both the ReadMe file and in it the keys you should add
[14:38] <ehermes> akik: if I set it to some other directory in my ~, it is also deleted when I log out
[14:38] <ehermes> (I verified the socket was present before I logged off)
[14:38] <dusty225> ducasse: Thanks, is it even installed?
[14:39] <ducasse> dusty225: don't think so, ubuntu uses apparmor though.
[14:39] <Pointblank> xangua trying to add those keys from github then :)
[14:39] <dusty225> ducasse: I see, thank you
[14:40] <dusty225> ducasse: Is it as fun to manage as selinux?
[14:40] <ducasse> dusty225: depends on your idea of 'fun' :)
[14:41] <ehermes> akik: I believe I have identified the problem and it is not actually ubuntu's fault
[14:41] <ducasse> dusty225: some of the apparmor devs hang out in #ubuntu-server, they are very responsive.
[14:41] <ehermes> akik: I am using KDE Neon (I know, I should have asked them instead of here), and they have an interestingly named "40_kde_neon_allyourprocessarebelongtous.conf" in /usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf.d
[14:41] <ehermes> which sets KillUserProcesses=1
[14:41] <akik> ehermes: :P
[14:42] <akik> who can keep with all the disabling and enabling going on
[14:45] <dusty225> ducasse: is apparmor enabled by default?
[14:45] <OerHeks> !apparmor
[14:46] <cshaw> Hello
[14:46] <cshaw> Anyone there?
[14:46] <Pointblank> xangua I tried now both variants. Their consumer key and my too, the same for consumer secret. I believe I should provide my own keys for bti to run, anyway, plus twitter says my app has perms. But the linux part does not seem to comunicate with twitter. Is bti still working?
[14:46] <akik> !ask | cshaw
[14:47] <cshaw> !ask | akik
[14:47] <xangua> Pointblank: who knows, I see last version is from 2014
[14:47] <cshaw> Does anyone know if AionOnline can be installed on Ubuntu through Wine, latest version?
[14:48] <cshaw> 2
[14:48] <ducasse> !wine | cshaw
[14:48] <OerHeks> cshaw, check the wineHQ database
[14:48] <Pointblank> xangua ok, I will give up on bti :( Looked very nice for my purpose and I cannot find anything like that, simple posting to twitter from commandline
[14:49] <cshaw> exit
[14:50] <ducasse> Pointblank: try contacting the author
[14:51] <Pointblank> ducasse I will if I find nothing yes. ty

[15:13] <Gourlay> I installed sopcast, but want it removed. can't remove it in synaptics or in terminal. how do I force remove?
[15:18] <OerHeks> Gourlay, how did you install sopcast? it is not in our repos ..
[15:18] <Alsene> i've been having an issue with my ubuntu install. i originally got the iso made bootable on a usb, and when i first launched it it was fine and gave me the install stuff. but later i decided i wanted to doublecheck something so i turned off ubuntu, and when i tried rebooting it again i got something about a panic and the thing wouldnt load. what should i do?
[15:18] <cscf> Alsene, kernel panic?
[15:19] <Alsene> i think so
[15:19] <Alsene> uh let me check, i took a picture of the screen
[15:19] <Alsene> yeah that looks right, it also ends with something about not mounting
[15:26] <Gourlay> OerHeks, got it from: https://code.google.com/archive/p/sopcast-player/downloads.   tar ball: sopcast-player-0.7.0.tar.gz
[15:27] <OerHeks> Gourlay, if you build it yourself, did it build an uninstall-script too?
[15:28] <Gourlay> OerHeks, http://pastebin.com/yLjcFu2D, I attempted the uninstall,but it did not uninstall
[15:28] <Gourlay> OerHeks, the software never worked on my machine.
[15:30] <xpertwinner> hello, I have a linux partition in an external hdd that wont mount because of  "cant read superblock" error
[15:30] <xpertwinner> I have tried to check disk for badblocks, and then run check disk with an alternative superblock
[15:31] <xpertwinner> but still cannot mount the drive
[15:31] <xpertwinner> does anyone know any alternative, or what would be possible to recover? thank you!
[15:32] <akik> xpertwinner: have you tried to use e2fsck with -b option?
[15:32] <akik> xpertwinner: it makes it use another superblock
[15:33] <xpertwinner> yes, that is what I did. -b 32768
[15:34] <Alsene> http://i.imgur.com/HQOr9fO.jpg here's the picture that i mentioned earlier cscf
[15:34] <akik> xpertwinner: what was the e2fsck result?
[15:34] <capt-minuszero> yea
[15:35] <cscf> Alsene, yeah, kernel panic
[15:35] <akik> xpertwinner: if it succeeded try mounting the file system with -o sb=nnnnnn
[15:35] <xpertwinner> akik: I got the number 32768 for an alternative block from mke2fs -n command
[15:35] <cscf> Alsene, so this is the first time you've rebooted the machine since install?
[15:36] <Alsene> cscf i didnt finish the install
[15:36] <Alsene> but yeah
[15:36] <cscf> Alsene, you canceled the install partway through?
[15:36] <akik> xpertwinner: i'm a bit wary about using mke2fs to do it. dumpe2fs can output the list too
[15:37] <xpertwinner> akik: output was this
[15:37] <xpertwinner> akik: /dev/sdb5: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/sdb5: 999892/6406144 files (0.3% non-contiguous), 20232501/25600000 blocks
[15:37] <Alsene> cscf, yeah, and then i shut down the thing
[15:37] <Alsene> is that normal?
[15:37] <xpertwinner> akik: Error writing block 1 (Attempt to write block to filesystem resulted in short write).  Ignore error? yes
[15:37] <akik> xpertwinner: ok so try mounting it with -o sb=32768
[15:37] <cscf> Alsene, what were you intending to do?  Naturally Ubuntu isn't going to work if you only install half of it.
[15:38] <akik> xpertwinner: so there was an error?
[15:38] <xpertwinner> I run the command with -y option so say yes to ignore all errors
[15:39] <akik> xpertwinner: -y means answer yes to all questions
[15:40] <xpertwinner> akik: ok
[15:40] <xpertwinner> there were some errors, but I answered yes to ignore them
[15:41] <akik> xpertwinner: well it doesn't mean ignore
[15:42] <xpertwinner> akik: I also run badblocks command and logged the output, but according to that the superblock numbers were not bad. so shouldnt it mean that the alternative superblocks should be ok?
[15:43] <akik> xpertwinner: can you try mounting the file system with option -o sb=32768 ? add it to fstab
[15:43] <akik> xpertwinner: lose the -o when using fstab
[15:44] <teknoprep> hi all.. using a bash script with zenity... how to i add default text for an --add-entry
[15:44] <dkorras> hi all. has anyone managed to get the software for the UPS's called ViewPower to run on a Raspberry PI?
[15:44] <Alsene> cscf i turned it off the first time so i could install it later, because i wasnt sure about something
[15:44] <cscf> Alsene, ok, and are you booting off the USB again or the hard drive install?
[15:47] <xpertwinner> akik: output is still mount: /dev/sdb5: can't read superblock
[15:47] <akik> xpertwinner: pastebin the fstab line, please
[15:51] <xpertwinner> akik:
[15:51] <akik> xpertwinner: if 32768 doesn't work for you, use the next one
[15:51] <xpertwinner> akik: I have not changed fstab
[15:52] <akik> xpertwinner: sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sdXn | grep -i superblock
[15:52] <akik> xpertwinner: how do you plan to use the superblock 32768 with the mount command?
[15:52] <xpertwinner> akik: dont really know what fstab is for. do I need to change that file?
[15:53] <xpertwinner> I added 32768 with the -o option
[15:53] <akik> xpertwinner: when using fstab, the options go into the 3rd last column
[15:53] <akik> xpertwinner: and you just need to add ,sb=32768 to the other options that are already there
[15:54] <xpertwinner> akik: output of dumpe2fs:Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdb5
[15:55] <akik> xpertwinner: ok maybe you need to use mke2fs -n then
[15:57] <xpertwinner> akik: I am a bit lost about the using fstab, how do I use it? this is the content http://pastebin.com/9C2M1TrJ
[15:57] <xpertwinner> akik: I have tried to use some other alternative superblock numbers but I got the same error
[15:58] <akik> xpertwinner: ok maybe there's something that fsck can't fix. sorry i don't know what would fix it
[15:58] <akik> xpertwinner: fstab is just used to mount file systems automatically
[15:59] <xpertwinner> akik: ok thank you. do you know if it is possible to read the filenames from files there or something? just wanted to get an idea of what I have there. anything would be better than nothing
[16:00] <akik> xpertwinner: you could try using testdisk to rescue files but it can't restore file names
[16:00] <akik> xpertwinner: or photorec to restore partitions
[16:00] <akik> xpertwinner: does that device make funny clicking noises?
[16:01] <xpertwinner> akik: not really. seems ok. other partitions on the same disk work fine as well
[16:01] <akik> xpertwinner: sorry i got the names backwards; testdisk to restore partitions, photorec to scan devices for files
[16:01] <akik> xpertwinner: well try all the different superblocks then. can't hurt :)
[16:02] <xpertwinner> akik: thank you. i will take a look at those tools as well
[16:02] <akik> xpertwinner: use "sudo mount -t ext4 -o sb=nnnnnn /dev/sdb5 /mnt" to test
[16:02] <akik> if it was ext4
[16:03] <pvl1> hi everone. does systemd handle starting x on the latest bunut
[16:04] <OerHeks> pvl1, yes, systemctl set-default graphical.target # sets boot to tty7
[16:05] <pvl1> many thanks
[16:05] <OerHeks> and systemctl set-default multi-user.target # sets to tty2
[16:05] <xpertwinner> akik: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb5, got this
[16:05] <akik> xpertwinner: ok but try all the superblocks with e2fsck -b
[16:06] <akik> xpertwinner: usually this is the last line when fsck succeeds: /dev/sdb5: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** /dev/sdb5: 999892/6406144
[16:06] <akik>                      files (0.3% non-contiguous), 20232501/25600000 blocks
[16:07] <xpertwinner> akik: ok. how would I know if e2fsck succeeds?
[16:07] <akik> xpertwinner: not sure why you got an additional error after that
[16:07] <akik> xpertwinner: you can check its return code with "echo $?"
[16:07] <akik> xpertwinner: if it's 0 then it worked
[16:07] <akik> xpertwinner: i have to go now but good luck
[16:08] <xissburg> How to uninstall git? Damn. sudo apt-get --purge remove git doesn't remove it
[16:08] <xpertwinner> akik: cool . thanks a lot
[16:09] <xissburg> There's a git in /usr/local/bin/git and it's broken
[16:10] <nacc> xissburg: i believe i told you yesterday, you built a version locally (or something equivalent) -- apt/dpkg can't remove that
[16:11] <xissburg> Ah yeah, I am totally confused here with errors and bs coming from everywhere
[16:11] <OerHeks> if he didn't build an uninstall ...
[16:11] <OerHeks> bad guide
[16:11] <nacc> xissburg: in *theory*, you could try and figure out all the 'git' stuff in /usr/local and delete it manually
[16:11] <xissburg> I see I have the new git in /usr/bin/git
[16:11] <nacc> xissburg: but that's error-prone
[16:12] <xissburg> why is it using /usr/local/bin/git?
[16:12] <nacc> xissburg: what's your $PATH ?
[16:12] <nacc> xissburg: the default is, quite sanely, for /usr/local/bin to be before /usr/bin in $PATH
[16:12] <nacc> xissburg: as if you have a local installation of some executable, you have it for a reason
[16:13] <xissburg> hmm
[16:13] <Gourlay> what is the best way to install sopcast on ubuntu 16.04?
[16:13] <xissburg> so..
[16:13]  * xissburg deletes /usr/local/bin/git
[16:14] <OerHeks> Gourlay, find a ppa, or build the sourcecode
[16:14] <xissburg> bah
[16:14] <xissburg> bash: /usr/local/bin/git: No such file or directory
[16:14] <xissburg> haha
[16:14] <Gourlay> OerHeks, feels like I attempted every possible ppa and sourcecode. Can you guide me to some functioning?
[16:14] <Gourlay> OerHeks, have Kodi also.
[16:15] <nacc> xissburg: `which git` ?
[16:15] <Gourlay> OerHeks, plexus add on did not get sopcast going.
[16:15] <xissburg>  /usr/bin/git
[16:15] <xissburg> lol wtf
[16:15] <pvl1> OerHeks: tyvm
[16:15] <nacc> xissburg: what reported the 'No such file or directory'? a script or the terminal?
[16:16] <xissburg> nacc when I type git in the terminal/bash
[16:16] <nacc> xissburg: do you have a local alias
[16:16] <OerHeks> Gourlay, no, i think it is a dead project.
[16:16] <xissburg> nacc don't think so
[16:16] <nacc> xissburg: echo $BASH_ALIASES
[16:17] <Gourlay> OerHeks, Plexus or sopcast?
[16:17] <xissburg> nacc nothing
[16:17] <nacc> could also be a function, i guess
[16:17] <xissburg> ah reloaded bash..
[16:17] <OerHeks> Gourlay, better ask the kodi guys then
[16:17] <Gourlay> ok
[16:18] <xissburg> nacc works now, thanks
[16:18] <Gourlay> OerHeks, sopcast on ubuntu then, is it dead?
[16:18] <OerHeks> Gourlay, it is not available on ubuntu, never was, in our repos.
[16:19] <Gourlay> OerHeks, I see. thx for your time.
[16:24] <nacc> xissburg: cool :) -- not that it's probably worth actually clearing out /usr/local for other git binaries (e.g., gitk, git-shell, etc., in case that local build had them)
[16:24] <borei1> hi all
[16:25] <borei1> i need some headsup
[16:25] <borei1> seems like i have conflict situation between systemd and upstart, im on ubuntu 16
[16:25] <borei1> is there way safely remove upstart completely ?
[16:26] <NeoFrontier> Greetings humans
[16:27] <NeoFrontier> So how do I process all filenames in a directory to be removed of a xwf prefix if present ?
[16:27] <OerHeks> borei1, you *could* remove upstart, but safely ... fix your conflict
[16:27] <NeoFrontier> so that a file named xwf_mother.xml will be called mother.xml after processing.
[16:27] <NeoFrontier> well it can have the _ thats fine.
[16:28] <nacc> NeoFrontier: `man rename`
[16:28] <nacc> borei1: what is the 'conflict' you are experiencing?
[16:28] <NeoFrontier> cant I google rather ?
[16:28] <NeoFrontier> kie kie kie
[16:28] <NeoFrontier> Anyone else with a clever idea ?>
[16:29] <NeoFrontier> But hey thanks nacc
[16:29] <borei1> i have corosync/pacemaker running bunch of VM(s)
[16:29] <borei1> when im trying to reboot box pacemaker is hanging trying to offload resources
[16:29] <NeoFrontier> Hey so I have to read all that hey.
[16:29] <borei1> log shows that VirtualDomain has no state
[16:30] <borei1> timeout is 30 minutes per domain, so rebooting the box will take forever
[16:30] <borei1> why VirtualDomain has no state - i can't find
[16:30] <nacc> NeoFrontier: something like `rename -n 's/^xwf_// xwf*` ?
[16:30] <th0r> NeoFrontier, you might try in #bash
[16:30] <NeoFrontier> ummm maybe ?
[16:31]  * NeoFrontier scratches head
[16:31] <borei1> im suspecting when system is getting to level 6 something is killing/migrating domain
[16:31] <NeoFrontier> Oh look its th0r
[16:31] <NeoFrontier> I can pick up that hammer
[16:31] <NeoFrontier> I swear
[16:31] <ouroumov_> NeoFrontier, maybe something like: find /dir -type f -name "xwf_" | xargs -II mv I `echo I | sed s/xwf_//g`
[16:31] <borei1> rc6.d has bunch of scripts, and i don't know how they will correlate with systemd
[16:32] <nacc> NeoFrontier: just try it, the version i sent you doesn't do it (-n)
[16:32] <NeoFrontier> Can I just tell siri to do it ?
[16:32] <nacc> NeoFrontier: if the renames look good, remove the -n
[16:32] <nacc> NeoFrontier: stay on topic please
[16:32] <borei1> forgot to mention - im on ubuntu 16
[16:32] <NeoFrontier> thanks
[16:32] <nacc> NeoFrontier: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23187176/
[16:33] <NeoFrontier> Great stuff
[16:33] <NeoFrontier> thanks :D
[16:33] <borei1> any hints ?
[16:33] <nacc> borei1: isn't the issue what the logs say? how do you know it's an upstart/systemd issue?
[16:34] <borei1> it just guess
[16:34] <borei1> im hitting the wall now
[16:34] <nacc> borei1: it seems most likely to be related to what you said about "VirtualDomain has no state"
[16:35] <borei1> yes it's true, but i don't see why it has no states
[16:35] <deeps_> I am installing flatpak on ubuntu 14.04 But, sudo apt-get install flatpak says unable to locate package. Intitially I installed a ppa package for same. The problem is that I read somewhere PPA is not for ubuntu 14.04. Is it? If so then how can I install flatpak which comes under PPA?
[16:36] <nacc> borei1: what is reporting that? pacemaker itself?
[16:36] <deeps_> Do reply for solutions.
[16:36] <nacc> deeps_: flatpak is only packaged for yakkety -- you'd need to ask the ppa owner for any non-yakkety solution
[16:36] <borei1> yes pacemaker is looping through the cycle, and throughting that error
[16:39] <rhalff> anyone know of an applet to make screen shots and capture parts of the screen?
[16:41] <rexwin_> every command takes a long time to complete saying : unable to resolve host ns2
[16:43] <pavlos> rexwin_, verify that /etc/hosts and hostname have the correct hostname
[17:15] <th3g3ntl3m4n> O/
[17:21] <xissburg> frigging ssh pass phrase.. cant remeber it
[17:23] <teknoprep> that sucks
[17:24] <linxeh> xissburg: write it down on a postit and stick it to the monitor! (not)
[17:25] <databasenoob> hello
[17:25] <databasenoob> I have a python script.py that keeps running after I start it
[17:25] <xissburg> or not use a pass phrase at all
[17:26] <databasenoob> I want it to run on a vps after i've disconnected from the server
[17:26] <databasenoob> is there a software you recommend similar to cron to get it done?
[17:26] <tgm4883> databasenoob: why not just use cron?
[17:27] <tgm4883> databasenoob: or do you need to start it manually
[17:27] <databasenoob> cron runs something and then it finishes
[17:27] <databasenoob> it would be nice to route the output from stdout to a file
[17:27] <databasenoob> since I wont be around to read it
[17:27] <cscf> databasenoob, just have your cron command redirect output?
[17:27] <tgm4883> databasenoob: you can do that with cron
[17:27] <databasenoob> cron runs a task and then finishes right
[17:28] <cscf> databasenoob, yeah, and that task can be "thingy >> thingy.log"
[17:28] <databasenoob> my script sleeps and continues running
[17:28] <nacc> databasenoob: cron just runs tasks yes, but you can specify how the task is run
[17:28] <databasenoob> I have a loop that keeps it running
[17:28] <tgm4883> databasenoob: cron run whatever command you tell it to. It doesn't care what happens after it starts it
[17:28] <databasenoob> to listen for messages
[17:28] <databasenoob> well what happens when the run command is sent again
[17:28] <nacc> databasenoob: taht completely depends on your program?
[17:28] <databasenoob> hmm
[17:29] <tgm4883> databasenoob: well that would be up to what you have it do when it runs twice
[17:29] <tgm4883> databasenoob: honestly, you should turn this into a proper service
[17:29] <tgm4883> databasenoob: you could have the script check if it's running and die if it's already running
[17:29] <cscf> databasenoob, do you just want the program to not quit when you exit?  You can use & for that.  If you want it to start on boot, yeah, make a .service file
[17:29] <databasenoob> whats & ?
[17:30] <tgm4883> databasenoob: or you could run it in something like tmux so you can reattach to the session to see whats happening on stdout
[17:30] <databasenoob> yeah I was looking at screen but it seems very hacky
[17:30] <databasenoob> was wondering if there was a cleaner way to do it
[17:30] <cscf> databasenoob, ' thingy.py & ' will background the process
[17:30] <prettyinred> Every single day thousands of people wake up to 9/11 being a fraud, false flag performed between rogue gov’ts of the US and Israel in an attempt to force the US to accept war in the ME on behalf of Israel as well as the new surveillance state which will continue to escalate.
[17:30] <databasenoob> huh, let me try
[17:31] <cscf> screen/tmux are great for leaving commands running, but you don't use them for something you want to always run
[17:31] <databasenoob> lol that worked
[17:31] <databasenoob> script.py &
[17:31] <databasenoob> see, ez
[17:32] <databasenoob> so I can do something like "python script.py & >> output.txt
[17:32] <ansivirus> python script.py >> output.txt &
[17:33] <ansivirus> i don't believe putting & before the output redirection will work
[17:36] <databasenoob> omg ansivirus that worked thank you so much
[17:36] <cscf> ansivirus, correct
[17:36] <ansivirus> I'm a bit rusty lol
[17:42] <viktor> hello
[17:43] <viktor> why can't I tick format a drive when installing with 16,04?
[17:43] <cscf> viktor, what are the properties of the partition you want to format?
[17:43] <viktor> props such as?
[17:44] <viktor> cscf: it has 14,04 prior
[17:44] <viktor> had*
[17:44] <cscf> viktor, you are doing manual partitioning?
[17:44] <viktor> cscf: aye
[17:45] <cscf> And you want to reformat 14.04's / into the new / ?
[17:45] <OerHeks> manually would give that option indeed
[17:46] <viktor> cscf: 16.04's
[17:46] <superbfish> I can't host a http server with wired connection. I have fully purged both nginx and apache2 and reinstalled them, seems like the http server is irrelevant. When I try to access my server from my gaming pc I can't connect to it with 192.168.0.10 (both computers on same network), but it works if I access it from the server. My external ip won't work on any of the computers, unless I unplug the cable and start connecting by wifi. Wh
[17:46] <superbfish> en connected by wifi both ip's work from both computers... I don't get it haha.
[17:46] <viktor> cscf: new info. I can format when I double click
[17:46] <cscf> viktor, ok, did you choose yet to use the partition as the new /?
[17:47] <cscf> superbfish, when you are on wired, can you ping the IP from your PC?
[17:47] <cscf> Or is it just http that doesn't work?
[17:50] <OerHeks> " but it works if I access it from the server" sounds like you need to do some steps to publish
[17:51] <cscf> Yeah it does
[17:51] <OerHeks> static ip, for a start
[17:51] <wabbits> is there quick and dirty way to intereave two text streams
[17:52] <OerHeks> superbfish, let me guess, an Ubuntu server in a VM ?
[17:52] <cscf> wabbits, interweave in what pattern?
[17:53] <cscf> wabbits, just as they come in?
[17:53] <wabbits> figured it out. awk
[17:53] <wabbits> one line from each
[17:58] <seme> hey guys... does anyone know if it is possible to integrate the linux certificate library with an active directory certificate store?
[17:59] <seme> I found some work where people integrated the /etc/ca-certificates and /etc/pki/nssdb but I can't really see how you would integrate it with the microsoft certificate store or any ca server for that matter...
[17:59] <seme> seems like everyone rolls there own
[17:59] <seme> their own
[18:01] <seme> for example curl, wget, firefox and chrome all appear to have their own method for managing their certs.  at least with some changes I can get firefox and chrome to use the /etc/pki/nssdb and ~/.pki/nssdb so that they match but it looks like things that use openssl aren't compatible... is that right
[18:01] <holdie> Hi guys, can someone of 16.04 show me the output of 'tasksel --list-tasks'?
[18:04] <_KaszpiR_> question, is it possible to get blacklisted on ppa.launchpad.net ? cannot connect to it, as if blackholed
[18:06] <OerHeks> holdie, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23187595/but maybe i have more tasks than original
[18:06] <OerHeks> _KaszpiR_, more likely you added ppa's without candidates for your version
[18:07] <OerHeks> check their launchpad page
[18:07] <_KaszpiR_> Connecting to ppa.launchpad.net (ppa.launchpad.net)|91.189.95.83|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
[18:07] <_KaszpiR_> Retrying.
[18:07] <_KaszpiR_> not really
[18:07] <_KaszpiR_> or some dead host in the cluster or sth
[18:07] <OerHeks> _can you update at all?
[18:07] <_KaszpiR_> just ppa is dead
[18:08] <_KaszpiR_> tfrom that ip
[18:08] <_KaszpiR_> oh wait
[18:08] <OerHeks> pastebin the full log please
[18:08] <abaldygle> holdie:  have you tried tasksel --list-tasks > <filename>
[18:08] <_KaszpiR_> started to work, but I'd say there were some networking issues for over 15 minutes from my ohter location
[18:08] <holdie> OerHeks: thanks
[18:11] <robin_> hi
[18:13] <wabbits> Why do people do that?
[18:14] <_KaszpiR_> ?
[18:15] <technikfreak> good day i have an usb thumb drive with 32 gig and windows says 0 byte. would be there an tool within ubuntu to repair it
[18:15] <cscf> technikfreak, Windows says 0 bytes free?
[18:15] <cscf> technikfreak, what filesystem?
[18:15] <technikfreak> no it shows 0 byte at akk
[18:15] <technikfreak> all
[18:16] <OerHeks> use windows tools to fix windows partitions
[18:16] <technikfreak> i dont care aboyut tnfs i want to get the stick working\
[18:16] <technikfreak> even with fat32 i am fine
[18:16] <akik> technikfreak: just create a partition on it and use mkfs.ntfs to format it
[18:16] <OerHeks> Then don't repair it, format
[18:16] <technikfreak> ok will try

[18:24] <cri13> hello everybody.... what nvidia drivers i better use for a 4.2.xx kernel ?
[18:27] <cri13> its for mussic...
[18:27] <cri13> hello everybody.... what nvidia drivers i better use for a 4.2.xx kernel ?*
[18:27] <cri13> i laways need to start modeset... :s
[18:27] <cri13> i'm newbie on linux.
[18:29] <cri13> please...
[18:29] <nacc> !patience | cri13
[18:29] <wabbits> cri13 are you asking what video driver to use for music? Cause that confuses me.
[18:30] <cri13> at nacc, ye but sometimes they not disposable to me also, and i passed 7 nights & day while sleeping 4 hours per day max..
[18:30] <cri13> wabbits, i need to know which nvidia's are good enough for a 4.2 kernel
[18:30] <cri13> the final objective is jacking Bitwig Studio
[18:30] <wabbits> so it doesn't really have anything to do with music?
[18:31] <cri13> yes, if i get a blank screen , ow i can JAck my synthis
[18:31] <nacc> cri13: if you're on 4.2.x, you're either on 14.04.4 or 15.10, yes?
[18:31] <cri13> im not a good palyer i need a computer to play a note and modify that note with synths
[18:32] <cri13> no i am updated on 16-04 but for FFado firewire driver i needed a 4.2 core
[18:32] <cri13> (much obliged...)
[18:32] <cri13> im newbie
[18:32] <nacc> cri13: 4.2 is not supported on 16.04
[18:32] <cri13> im on it
[18:32] <nacc> cri13: that is irrelevant, this the official support channel
[18:32] <cri13> but always need to start with nomodeset
[18:33] <cri13> official for a nvidia driver ? i dont speak music yet
[18:33] <cri13> excus eme..
[18:33] <wabbits> forgive me ignorance but why is that a problem?
[18:33] <nacc> cri13: stop referring to music please, it seems irrelevant to your issue
[18:33] <cri13> i stoped ?
[18:34] <cri13> i tlking about blanck screen and nvidia drivers
[18:34] <nacc> use the ubuntu kernel and nvidia package, i assume
[18:34] <nacc> cri13: if you're using a different kernel, it's not supported here
[18:34] <wabbits> cri13 what is the output of `uname -a` ?
[18:35] <cri13> u name -r give the 4.2xxxx low latency actually wabbits...
[18:35] <cri13> just i need to find the right driver for the nvidia i think
[18:35] <nacc> cri13: please don't try and 'approximate' command output. Provide it exactly
[18:35] <cri13> sry
[18:35] <cri13> "uname -r"
[18:36] <wabbits> Do you actually have a problem or are just trying to avoid a potential problem?
[18:37] <cri13> i avoided a driver problem by using nomode set on my grub, my problem is i need the right driver to make it right
[18:37] <cri13> nomodeset
[18:37] <cri13> oups sry
[18:37] <cri13> *
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> cri13  copy/paste the output of what people ask you here
[18:37] <pavlos> can you pastebin output of sudo lshw -C display ?
[18:38] <cri13> $ uname -r
[18:38] <cri13> 4.2.0-040200-lowlatency
[18:38] <wabbits> I give up :)
[18:38] <cri13> of course pavlov
[18:39] <cscf> cri13, why do you have the lowlatency kernel?

[19:01] <ioria> !details | chibbol
[19:04] <nicomachus> yea i don't understand that question at all
[19:07] <nacc> chibbol: 16.04 is a specific version of Ubuntu (there aren't 'some' 16.04, although there might be people who are not regularly updating their systems).
[19:08] <ubuntu__> hola

[19:15] <pinPoint> is there a gui based compiler that is available for ubuntu?
[19:16] <pinPoint> for free.
[19:16] <cscf> pinPoint, compiler for what language?  And compilers themselves aren't GUIs, did you mean an IDE?
[19:16] <pinPoint> c/c++
[19:17] <cscf> pinPoint, an IDE?  There is Code::Blocks
[19:17] <ioria> pinPoint, gcc and g++ from build-essential and then you can use codeblock , anjuta or even geany
[19:18] <pinPoint> i have gcc but was looking for a gui based one
[19:18] <ioria> pinPoint, not going to happen
[19:18] <pinPoint> ioria: oh yeah? how come?
[19:18] <cscf> pinPoint, there's no such thing, there are IDEs though
[19:18] <ioria> pinPoint,  pinPoint, compiler for what language?  And compilers themselves aren't GUIs, did you mean an IDE?
[19:19] <cscf> A graphical compiler is like a command line 3D modeling software, makes no sense.
[19:19] <pinPoint> ioria: i mention up there ^^ c/c++
[19:20] <pinPoint> i'm confused about the term IDE. What does it mean?
[19:20] <AhToyMaker> a command line 3d modeler makes perfect sense
[19:20] <OerHeks> pinPoint, so you want an IDE, 'gui for compiling'
[19:20] <cscf> pinPoint, Integrated Development Environment
[19:20] <ioria> !info build-essential | pinPoint
[19:21] <pinPoint> ioria: I already have build-essential installed
[19:21] <cscf> pinPoint, they are like fancy text editors with extra features for programming.  It's probably what you want.
[19:21] <hwpplayer1> do you know where ubuntu telegram group
[19:21] <ioria> pinPoint,  so choose an ide
[19:21] <OerHeks> !ide
[19:21] <cscf> pinPoint, just 'apt install codeblocks' it's probably what you want
[19:21] <pinPoint> I tried kdevelop and I got nothing to fly. I'll look into the rest.
[19:21] <lloyd__> bonjour
[19:22] <Toast> Any logs good to search to find why root isn't being remounted read write on boot?
[19:22] <errorlevel> Is there any trick to getting vino-server to run without having to put it in the Startup Applications?  I'm using Gnome as my desktop in Ubuntu 16.04 and when I click on Settings > Sharing > Screen Sharing, I can't get it to go "On".
[19:22] <ioria> pinPoint,  but i feel you're something like c# :þ
[19:22] <AhToyMaker> anyone know anything about cubieboard5?
[19:22] <pinPoint> nay. c mostly. got a book I want to explore
[19:23] <ioria> pinPoint,  so the best approch would be command line
[19:23] <pinPoint> i know but I find it sooo. bleh
[19:23] <ioria> *approach
[19:24] <ioria> pinPoint,  i know but necessary
[19:24] <OerHeks> AhToyMaker, is that an ARM device?
[19:25] <AhToyMaker> OerHeks, yes an sbc
[19:25] <OerHeks> AhToyMaker, told you to join #ubuntu-arm for that
[19:25] <AhToyMaker> oic... thanks
[19:25] <OerHeks> !arm
[19:26] <AhToyMaker> missed ur message
[19:26] <ioria> errorlevel, usually you don't put vino in StartUp
[19:26] <pavlos> AhToyMaker, sent links to you, also suggested to use dd or ddrescue to write .img to SD card (similar process as with the raspberry pi)
[19:27] <errorlevel> ioria: I know.  That's my problem.  It doesn't work unless I put it in the Startup Applications.
[19:27] <AhToyMaker> pavlos, what about with powering on... dd is a known solution to that?
[19:27] <ioria> errorlevel, well, on Unity you run  /usr/lib/vino/vino-server and it's done ... about gnome idk exactly
[19:27] <AhToyMaker> i'm dd microsd card right now...
[19:28] <errorlevel> In gnome it's supposed to just be that you go to Settings > Sharing > Screen Sharing and you can turn it on.  For some reason, when I click the "On/Off" toggle button, it just toggles back to off.
[19:28] <pavlos> AhToyMaker, when you apply power, it will boot up from the SD
[19:28] <pinPoint> ioria: Ironically I used borland c++ in highschool. It was alright.
[19:28] <pavlos> same way pi's work
[19:29] <ioria> pinPoint, oh, yes it is
[19:29] <pinPoint> ioria: what about eclipse ide x64?
[19:30] <ioria> pinPoint, it's ok ... a bit heavy
[19:30] <pinPoint> i'm on a windows environment but running a ubuntu vbox.

[19:31] <mikeymop> hey guys
[19:32] <mikeymop> I noticed in a recent steam update that the xbox guide button no longer opens big picture, would this be trivial to remap?
[19:32] <pinPoint> ioria: gah, it needs a compiler. sheesh!
[19:32] <cscf> pinPoint, just tell it to use gcc, it should be among the standard settings
[19:32] <ioria> pinPoint, it needs you point it to
[19:34] <errorlevel> ioria: That is out of date for Gnome.  System > Preferences doesn't exist.
[19:34] <ioria> errorlevel, oh, sorry
[19:35] <ioria> errorlevel, ls -l  /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
[19:35] <errorlevel> ioria: I understand.  I wish that the old Gnome still existed. ;)

[19:36] <pinPoint> ioria: cscf thanks again.
[19:36] <ioria> pinPoint, no prob bring in there :þ
[19:36] <errorlevel> Yep.  That exists, and it runs.  That is what I had to add to the Startup Applications.
[19:37] <errorlevel> ioria: Yeah, I use flashback, but even then it's the same.

[19:49] <hexafluoride> why won't zsh-newuser-install run as root?
[19:49] <MonkeyDust> hexafluoride  start from the beginning, what brings you here
[19:50] <hexafluoride> I installed zsh on a fresh ubuntu server 16.04 instance and I want to walk through the setup script
[19:50] <hexafluoride> but it didn't pop up so I tried to invoke it like
[19:50] <hexafluoride> # zsh /usr/share/zsh/functions/Newuser/zsh-newuser-install -f
[19:50] <hexafluoride> zsh-newuser-install: won't run as root.  Read the manual.
[19:51] <Toast> Got a bit further with my boot problem. Everything boots fine if I use the upstart boot mode, but not with the normal mode.
[19:52] <MonkeyDust> hexafluoride  better ask in #zsh
[19:52] <OerHeks> autoload -Uz zsh-newuser-install; zsh-newuser-install -f
[19:53] <hexafluoride> tried that OerHeks
[19:53] <hexafluoride> same msg

[20:12] <toxicdove> hello all
[20:13] <toxicdove> i was wondering if anyone know to ubuuntu an app like  GetFlashInfo (microsoft)
[20:13] <MonkeyDust> toxicdove  what does the app do?
[20:14] <toxicdove> Kundru ....its Flash Drive Information Extractor
[20:15] <toxicdove> sorry .... Kundry_Wag ..its Flash Drive Information Extractor
[20:21] <Toast> OK, the problem was a single extra space in fstab. upstart didn't care and the system booted normally, systemd caught the warning from mount and failed to mount root read write.
[20:21] <OerHeks> good find
[20:23] <Visitorer> I installed Ubuntu on a USB drive from a live USB install on a different USB drive and it installed Grub on my hard drive and now I'm unable to boot on Windows without the USB drive plugged in
[20:24] <Visitorer> How do I fix that without effing everything up?
[20:25] <OerHeks> keep the usb plugged in? or fix the bootsector with your windows dvd, and put grub on the usb device
[20:25] <alsochris> Hi.  Im using realmd and debian...I know this is ubuntu but I got no help in the debian channel.  I can get realmd and my AD domain working fine in terminal but cannot get gnome to let login...ideas?
[20:26] <alsochris> I reckon its a pam config problem but cannot put my finger on it.
[20:26] <Visitorer> lol I sure am not going to leave the USB drive plugged in. That's a terrible solution.
[20:27] <pavlos> Visitorer, http://superuser.com/questions/949219/how-to-fix-windows-10-boot-loader-from-windows
[20:27] <OerHeks> to get help in #debian, register with freenode alsochris
[20:27] <OerHeks> !register
[20:28] <alsochris> People responded to me but basically told me I was asking questions above my level.
[20:29] <alsochris> i had issues registering this nick.  I have been using it forever but wont let me register it
[20:29] <OerHeks> They might need more details?
[20:30] <alsochris> erroneous nickname....
[20:30] <OerHeks> well, as this is serverside, you might want to reask in #ubuntu-server too, but things might go wrong if you follow the ubuntu-way
[20:30] <zoran> hi
[20:32] <Guest66871> i have o problem with mint, my administrator psswd has changed. how to find it out
[20:32] <Langley> Help, sometimes when I connect/disconnect my laptop to a monitor with HDMI, the screens goes crazy with flickering and I have to force shutdown. Ubuntu Mate 16.04 x64
[20:32] <OerHeks> !mint | Guest66871
[20:32] <alsochris> OerHeks: It only seems to be the graphical environment that wont let me login against AD.  terminal is great even maps my home dir to my file server.
[20:32] <Guest66871> thanks.
[20:35] <Visitorer> pavlos : That didn't work since I'm not using MBR
[20:36] <Visitorer> Gonna try the tool linked though
[20:37] <pavlos> Visitorer, the answer marked as 5 might be better help for you
[20:38] <Visitorer> The GUI tool worked
[20:38] <Visitorer> Thanks
[20:41] <faekjarz> Hey there! I just updated my smarty phones firmware …well, i have to re-install and configure every app i used - a royal pain in the butt. I know, there's a Ubuntu Phone edition; Are updates on Ubuntu Phones handled like on the desktop or server, via apt update && apt upgrade?
[20:41] <mcphail> faekjarz: no. There is a rolling system image which updates via OTAs
[20:42] <mcphail> faekjarz: #ubuntu-touch is the channel if you want to know more
[20:42] <Visitorer> So I'm able to boot directly into windows without the USB drive, but when I go to my bios, it still sees Ubuntu as being a boot option even when the USB drive is removed... so Grub is still installed.
[20:42] <faekjarz> mcphail: a'ight, i thought it's #ubuntu-arm ;) …well, thanks
[20:43] <xdenial> hello, anyone here using ubuntu xenial64 with vagrant? Can you connect to the box using ssl and have internet connection?
[20:44] <MonkeyDust> xdenial  you mean ssh?
[20:45] <xdenial> MonkeyDust: no I mean it cant use ssl connection, Auth method gets set to password.
[20:45] <xdenial> cant use ssl for auth**
[20:50] <OerHeks> read the manual howto disable password login and auth with ssl keys ?
[20:50] <OerHeks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[20:54] <Visitorer> Okay I manually mounted the EFI partition and manually remoed the ubuntu folder
[20:54] <Visitorer> I hope that will do it
[20:55] <Visitorer> Nope... it's still there
[20:55] <pavlos> Visitorer, another link for EFI and win10, http://windowsreport.com/windows-8-uefi-boot/
[20:56] <Jordan_U> Visitorer: The entry you're seeing at boot is not stored on your hard drive, it's stored in nvram in your boot firmware. You can remove the entry using efibootmgr.

[21:01] <sha0coder_> do you know where is the source code of bluetoothd?
[21:02] <Amagora> Hello
[21:02] <Amagora> I am new to IRCing
[21:03] <Amagora> This is all new to me, and I dont know what I am doing.
[21:03] <Amagora> Could someone be of service
[21:04] <Amagora> I like that... who replied to me?
[21:04] <Amagora> I fell like an idiot
[21:04] <OerHeks> sha0coder_, it is part of bluez, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/bluetoothd.8.html
[21:05] <sha0coder_> thanks OerHeks
[21:05] <Amagora> Oerheks?
[21:05] <sha0coder_> Amagora: what's your problem?
[21:05] <Amagora> what do you mean
[21:05] <genii> Amagora: Best to just ask your actual question, clearly and briefly, of the channel in general and then wait for someone who understands the problem to assist with a solution.
[21:05] <OerHeks> hi Amagora, this is ubuntu support.
[21:05] <Bashing-om> Amagora: Not much we can reply to . Unknown client for IRC. unknown what direction you require . OS specifics ? client specifics . general application ?
[21:05] <Amagora> Hi OerHeks, I am sorry there really is no problem. I just joined in at random, because I am new to IRC.
[21:06] <Amagora> I searched a chat room, and this one took me to a Ubuntu room.
[21:06] <Amagora> I am just learning is all, and I apologize if I am becoming only a spam to the room, so I will leave.
[21:06] <genii> Amagora: For general chat, the #ubuntu-offtopic channel is best. This channel is for support of Ubuntu problems
[21:07] <Amagora> Thank you genii, do you know any chat rooms were noobs go to?
[21:07] <Amagora> where*
[21:08] <OerHeks> some fun channels you need to be registered with #freenode, like #debian
[21:08] <Amagora> I am registered with freenode
[21:09] <Amagora> I believe I am running through Weechat, and had to register through their, but all of this is new to me.
[21:09] <Amagora> A friend introduced me to IRC, and I was curious about it for awhile anyways, but I understand certain chatrooms are designated to certain subjects.
[21:09] <Amagora> So I don't want to be a burden to a chat room really.
[21:10] <Robin___> Hello! :) Whats the difference between "find /usr" and "find /usr &"? What does the "&" add?
[21:11] <Visitorer> Well now my bios doesn't see my W10 install drive anymore so I can't boot into it to use bootrec to fix what I need to fix.
[21:11] <Amagora> I know the "&" symbol :)
[21:11] <OerHeks> Robin___, that moves the command to background, use fg to get it back again
[21:11] <Visitorer> Hopefully efibootmgr can help with that
[21:11] <Robin___> OerHeks: Thanks!
[21:11] <Robin___> What exacly does "moves the command to the background" mean?
[21:11] <Robin___> i suppose fg is foreground
[21:12] <Amagora> Yes fg is foreground
[21:12] <OerHeks> bg, it releases your command prompt
[21:12] <Amagora> and if you ctrl + Z you can temporarily close or make a window or program stop
[21:13] <Robin___> alright, thanks guys
[21:13] <Amagora> OerHeks? Can anyone provide information to anyone needing help?
[21:13] <Amagora> No problem Robin__ are you new to Linux OS?
[21:13] <OerHeks> Amagora, yes, we are all volunteers.
[21:14] <Amagora> That is so cool... I sound like a moron, but this is all new to me.
[21:14] <OerHeks> !support
[21:15] <Amagora> How do I open up more than one IRC and juggle between the two?
[21:15] <Robin___> Amagora: Yes :)
[21:16] <Amagora> Well Robin, I have had Linux OS for a few months and have recently been getting used to commands, but I am new to IRC
[21:16] <genii> Amagora: This depends on your IRC client, it varies. Also if you mean just different channels on the same network, or different networks.
[21:17] <Amagora> genii, I am currently running through Weechat, and I am registered to freenode. I was going through the setup, and it says I can merg chats, and even prevent them from merging.
[21:18] <Amagora> I am new to anything in terms of IRC
[21:18] <genii> Amagora: Sorry, i am not familiar with weechat. But hopefully someone who is can offer suggestions.
[21:19] <Amagora> Thank you anyways genii, what do you use?
[21:19] <Amagora> If I may ask?
[21:19] <Bashing-om> Amagora: For guidance in weechat . join their support channel. trype ' /join #weechat ' - with out the quotes - in your client .
[21:20] <Amagora> Thank you Bashing
[21:21] <Bashing-om> Amagora: NP .. just here in this channel is specific ubuntu operating system support .
[21:21] <genii> Amagora: I use Quassel for my IRC ( and funnel my other instant messaging things to it from an application called btlbee )
[21:21] <damulag> wasup
[21:23] <Bashing-om> Dmeyer: Ubuntu Support .
[21:25] <yourname1> hmm
[21:25] <F3N|X> hmmm
[21:28] <Visitorer> Jordan_U : efibootmgr worked to remove then entries. Thanks!
[21:28] <Visitorer> the*
[21:29] <genii> Amagora: The weechat usage documentation at https://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#usage seems also fairly extensive.
[21:29] <Visitorer> Now my bios won't see either my W10 usb install drive or the Ubuntu USB drive though.
[21:30] <Visitorer> I checked the Ubuntu drive and it seems to have the proper GRUB files installed on it? Though not on a separate partition
[21:40] <Gallowglass> I'm getting a Brother MFC-J485 printer set up, but while it works from Windows computers over wireless, it does not print from Ubuntu laptop (wireless or usb) though in CUPS the jobs are quickly marked "Completed."
[21:42] <Visitorer> So I really don't know what the hell to google for that
[21:42] <Visitorer> I can only get irrelevant results
[21:43] <Gallowglass> I'm working off a couple of sources, including https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1999216
[21:44] <Gallowglass> Also http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html
[21:44] <Gallowglass> But I'm thinking that CUPS isn't really communicating to the printer.
[21:50] <Lachezar> Hey all. Two questions about Network Manager (Xubuntu): 1. Accidently clicked 'do not show again' on a warning message. How do I make it show warnings again?
[21:50] <Lachezar> 2. OpenVPN does not seem to work: says 'Invalid configuration' or something of the sorts (accidently hid the messages).
[21:56] <mogreen> If I run the qt 5.7 installer, is it just going to overwrite my qt 5.3 installation?  because I don't want that
[22:01] <Gallowglass> I'm getting a Brother MFC-J485 printer set up, but while it works from Windows computers over wireless, it does not print from Ubuntu laptop (wireless or usb) though in CUPS the jobs are quickly marked "Completed."

[22:33] <teknomega> sorry i am having issues with my keyboard and mouse
[22:33] <teknomega> mouse become unresponsive
[22:34] <gr1dl0ck> Gallowglass: try a different driver
[22:36] <Gallowglass> gr1dl0ck: I could, but I think that part's working. Even CUPS looks to be configured right, as far as I can tell, but signals just aren't being sent to the printer.
[22:37] <Gallowglass> That's wireless and USB - so I don't think it's firewall.
[22:42] <bladeplate> How to use 915resolution ?
[22:43] <bladeplate> any help?

[22:46] <bladeplate> well, i sucessfully installed debian 8 on vaio p, but it hangs on loading, please wait...
[22:46] <bladeplate> I think it related to gma500
[22:47] <bladeplate> I wanted to use 915resolution to get a list of modes and save and restart with that resolution, maybe it boots ok?
[22:47] <bladeplate> Bashing-om: do you think it will work?
[22:48] <Smn> hello guys, I've had problems with my pci wifi card stopping working out of a sudden since i installed, sometimes the problem would take a couple of hours and sometimes several days to manifest so it was pretty hard to pinpoint the cause(and im still no completely sure), the problem persisted even after closing the session, the only way to get it to work again was rebooting the computer, now, as strange as it sounds the problem seems to be wine. this problem ha
[22:48] <Smn> dn't happened in a while and today when i decided to play some hitman again it happened twice in the span of 40 minutes, the first time when i was playing and the second at the time i closed it
[22:49] <Smn> the game doesn't even use network features so i dont understand what's causing this. TL;DR playing games on wine is causing computer to drop from wifi(APs can be seen but i can't connect to them) and only way to make it work again is rebooting
[22:50] <Bashing-om> bladeplate: Well. I have seen GMA500 as problematic . Have you seen : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsPoulsbo ?
[22:50] <t0rWh0r3> missing GLX support in ubuntu 14.04 x86_64 on nvidia-361 from CUDA 8.0 repo :( Is there maybe a work arround or something? glxinfo: Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[22:52] <t0rWh0r3> i can start the x server and compute cuda stuff on gpu if it doesnt require GLX, but all stuff that requires GLX  is not working
[22:53] <bladeplate> Bashing-om, ya, can't boot ubuntu, tried debian, it was sucessfully installed using graphic mode, why not boot to that graphic mode?

[23:14] <theorem> or the error ?
[23:14] <toxicdove> PenguinMan98 ....is the line "#includedir /etc/sudoers.d" ?? or sudoers?
[23:15] <PenguinMan98> http://screencast.com/t/fKKV7Zwsod
[23:15] <theorem> PenguinMan98: probably whitespace on line 8 ?
[23:16] <theorem> CR / LF
[23:16] <PenguinMan98> That's what I suspect, CR/LF problems
[23:16] <PenguinMan98> But that means somebody besides me has edited this file
[23:16] <PenguinMan98> And how would they have enough know-how to get in and modify it but not to use the right line endings?
[23:17] <PenguinMan98> When I pkexec visudo, I see a user I don't recognize: http://screencast.com/t/EZzu4VMs1ln0
[23:17] <PenguinMan98> I want to remove this user
[23:17] <theorem> ok
[23:17] <theorem> you can remove them
[23:18] <theorem> I mean -- did someone guess your password ?  or is your system way out of date ? *=(ssh vuln)
[23:18] <PenguinMan98> My system was verified for the ssh vuln
[23:18] <PenguinMan98> verified not vulnerable I mean
[23:18] <theorem> "verified" ?
[23:18] <poopBot> how can i see what mesa version i have
[23:19] <PenguinMan98> https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-edit-the-sudoers-file-on-ubuntu-and-centos
[23:19] <PenguinMan98> My sudoers file inside looks identical to this one
[23:19] <PenguinMan98> Default settings
[23:19] <theorem> PenguinMan98: use diff
[23:20] <PenguinMan98> And it is #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
[23:20] <PenguinMan98> How can I use diff?
[23:20] <poopBot> is mesa version latest cuz atm can ply my game get VAD eception
[23:21] <t0rWh0r3> diff -b -y -W 120 file1 file2
[23:22] <PenguinMan98> Oh, so you're suggesting I copy the sudoers file from the link and create that file on my system and diff the two
[23:24] <poopBot> ok i have 11 mesa i wnat to install 12
[23:24] <poopBot> how to upgrade mesa is it possible whitout braking distro?
[23:26] <Bashing-om> !info libgl1-mesa-glx
[23:29] <poopBot> yes but  11.2.0 is broken form me
[23:29] <poopBot> on older version my game work
[23:29] <poopBot> and i saw they fix it on 12.  version too at least its mention
[23:30] <poopBot> http://www.mesa3d.org/relnotes/12.0.1.html
[23:31] <PenguinMan98> whoa
[23:31] <PenguinMan98> I tried to diff the files
[23:32] <PenguinMan98> It failed, threw an error, started PM2, crashed the server and it's now rebooting
[23:34] <PenguinMan98> boot failed :(
[23:34] <PenguinMan98> no bootable device
[23:34] <PenguinMan98> How SOL am I? http://screencast.com/t/a85cMptDf
[23:35] <PenguinMan98> Server over?  Hacked = Very Yes
[23:38] <foul_owl> Which company is the most Linux friendly? Gigabyte, MSI, or ASUS? Buying a video card so I'm sure the drivers will work fine, I just want to support the company that is most friendly to Linux. Thanks!
[23:38] <theorem> I would lean ASUS
[23:40] <de-facto> isnt it more like AMD vs nVIDIA?
[23:40] <foul_owl> Gotcha
[23:40] <foul_owl> Well the hardware mfg have biases also
[23:40] <foul_owl> usually in full systems
[23:40] <foul_owl> ie, lenovo does some sketchy crap in their laptops
[23:41] <foul_owl> IIRC
[23:41] <de-facto> but you never use drivers from hw mfg, rather from chip mfg
[23:41] <foul_owl> Not really relevant to a video card, but I'm concenred about the company as a whole
[23:41] <foul_owl> What I'm asking about is where my money is going :)
[23:41] <foul_owl> I want it to go to a company that will publically say "Yes! Use Linux!" or that funds FOSS, or something similar
[23:42] <t0rWh0r3> dont buy nvidia, the preporitary drivers for linux are not very good
[23:42] <foul_owl> Doesn't matter if I'm buying a proc or ram or whatever
[23:42] <foul_owl> I use the open source drivers anyway so no worries
[23:43] <de-facto> nVidia drivers are closed source, but even steam recommends them for their quality
[23:43] <PenguinMan98> Linux is just as bad as any other OS out there with the important exception that you don't need two years of schooling to use mac or windows.
[23:43] <PenguinMan98> They all have strong suits and flaws
[23:43] <ntzorx> PenguinMan98: You should feel thankful that you have access to Linux !
[23:44] <PenguinMan98> Its a matter of pick the right one for the job that needs to be done
[23:44] <foul_owl> Uh, with the exception that Linux is open source
[23:45] <PenguinMan98> Which means that everybody can edit it, especially people who probably shouldn't. And those who could do the most good, won't.
[23:45] <foul_owl> You think any rando can sneak some crap into the kernel?
[23:45] <t0rWh0r3> linux is propably the biggest redistribution of prosperity in human history
[23:45] <foul_owl> :D
[23:45] <foul_owl> I like the sound of that
[23:46] <foul_owl> Fine, if you are more paranoid than me then use OpenBSD (which I do also)
[23:46] <ntzorx> t0rwh0r3: exactly
[23:46] <foul_owl> My desktop has an uptime of 150 days, which is laughable in the windows world
[23:46] <foul_owl> My home servers have uptimes of several years
[23:46] <foul_owl> Again, laughable where windows is concerned :P
[23:51] <PenguinMan98> Maybe so but linux isn't fun like windows.  Poor mac has neither.
[23:51] <nacc> PenguinMan98: foul_owl: please take ot chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:51] <ntzorx> PenguinMan98: linux is not fun ? LOL
[23:52] <PenguinMan98> Roger that. Shutting up
[23:52] <foul_owl> Thanks
[23:52] <PenguinMan98> Can anybody tell me if this is fixable? http://screencast.com/t/a85cMptDf
[23:53] <doomwake> get compiz linux fun
[23:54] <de-facto> boot from livecd, fix rootfs and grub
[23:55] <kogmo> Good morning
[23:55] <PenguinMan98> It's a VPS. I can't boot from livecd.  I don't know what rootfs is or grub
[23:55] <PenguinMan98> But I'll google them
[23:55] <de-facto> the root file system from which you can boot
[23:56] <de-facto> grub is the boot loader
[23:56] <PenguinMan98> Sounds like a job for the host
[23:56] <de-facto> hmm but it seems not even that was loaded
[23:56] <genii> PenguinMan98: Do you control DHCP machine it is trying to netboot from?
[23:56] <PenguinMan98> I do not
