[00:12] Interesting question. Is it possible to ping and address then autologin after a successful ping? [00:16] jeffrey_f: So you want your machine to boot, and if it can't ping a host it will give a login screen, if it can then it will automatically log in as user foo? [00:17] Jordan_U: Yes. It is a Kiosk. If no network for some reason, I don't want to display a web page that can't be had. === dell is now known as Starrider [00:27] #Hi. Iam Strugling with openvpn server in ubuntu .

[04:03] totesMagotes, stop your transmission redownload the torrent file start your new program and point the new program to where you have the isos downloaded [04:04] start the torrents with the file [04:05] just set the download location to where the files already are [04:05] yep [04:05] why move if they are one the same machine [04:06] now they are going to be on a different machine thats a different story [04:06] try to finish downloading on a different operating system. [04:09] Is there a way I can ssh into a box when 1) it is behind a router 2) no port forwarding set 3) dynamic ip ? [04:10] For instance, I'm communicating using websockets (box as a client) and I send a message and it send me back a "request to ssh into it", if you follow me [04:11] Basically I want an ssh server that behave like a client (initiate connection) [04:11] Greetings all. [04:12] Hanonim, behind a nat? [04:12] Any information on UIE or Legacy Mode? [04:14] kk4ewt: ideally there would be no nat, the box would simply connect to router and find my server using websockets and do its stuff. But I still would like to have the possibility to ssh into it, if I'm not asking for too much [04:18] guys, imagine some1 has a great ideia but doesnt has the programing skills to implement it.

[06:07] Yes I use the official mate variant not ChaletOS(xubuntu derivative) like I did before. 16.10 and gtk 3.20 won't work with my gtk 2 themes. I want beautiful colorful, rich incredible theming like I had with ChaletOS. It used the zoncolor engines. I have those on my harddrive and I've installed them and nothing is right with the desktop but it's kinda colorful. [06:07] HappyHobo: #ubuntu+1 for yakkety [06:07] You serious? [06:08] !yakkety | HappyHobo yes [06:08] HappyHobo yes: Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) will be the 25th release of Ubuntu. It is due to be released in October 2016. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [06:08] Lemme guess no one is in there and active. [06:08] * HappyHobo is afraid to join.

[06:09] HappyHobo: patience is a good attitude on support channels [06:11] I tried to embrace unity. I really did but its interface just makes me cringe. It looks like the illegitmate child of windowmaker and gnome 3. [06:11] I'm still on 15.10 and the youtube-dl manpage says "-k, --keep-video" …is there something simil… uh…for audio …never mind …my intuition served me well: i already used youtube-dl -kx to somehow end up with 4 files, .mp4, .opus, .mkv, and .webm. Maybe a little overkill, but ~exactly* what i wanted.

[06:31] I mean, what is that? gtk2? gtk3? qt? Is there a GUI config tool for that? I used to have something for Ubuntu 14.04, but don't see one for Ubuntu 16.04. [06:31] Out of the different virtualization apps, which is the best performing one? [06:32] (I want to run win7 on a VM) [06:34] anyone know if there's a gui tool to configure gtk? I have Lubuntu 16.04 [06:34] volomike: that's called 'client side decorations', often used by the gnome devs. [06:34] How can I type in ’ in ubuntu 16.04? I'm using a stupid website that doesn't let me copy/paste my password [06:35] ducasse, so that's the window manager's job? [06:36] ducasse, when I run Gedit on Lubuntu 16.04, I assume it uses a different window manager just for that, such as metacity? [06:36] found it: ctrl + shift + u 2019 [06:36] volomike: normally, yes, but the gnome guys want their apps to do it. the window is then set with a flag so the wm doesn't decorate it. [06:37] ducasse, is there a way that I can override? [06:37] ducasse, this was the question more exactly: http://askubuntu.com/q/831823/1698 [06:38] volomike: google 'gtk3-nocsd', but it's a ugly hack [06:39] ducasse, is there another way so that I customize the theme the devs used? [06:40] for instance, when I look at this on github: https://github.com/PCMan/gtk3-nocsd [06:40] I see for instance there that that theme looks different than mine, currently. [06:40] before gtk3-nocsd was even applied yet [06:40] Hello guys, I have installed bootable usb with rufus, but when I boot it up I get the following errors: http://oi68.tinypic.com/2guiq86.jpg [06:41] I burned a dvd and received the same ones. the image is not corrupted.

[06:43] okay [06:43] you were a help, however [06:44] you gave me more keywords to search on [06:44] volomike: there is probably a gtk channel, you could try that. [06:45] ah, perfect, thanks [06:45] is there a way to install an older gedit? [06:46] volomike: not really, you would need to force the install of an older package and pray it works with newer libraries [06:46] okay, thanks [06:46] ducasse, this is an interesting article: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/06/install-gedit-3-10-ubuntu-16-04-lts [06:47] grub timeout doesnt work [06:48] volomike: you could try that, ppas are used at your own risk.

For instance Brackets , an application I use for web development, froze the first first time I started it up on the next day. Today I had to restart the system because the screen turned into literally a gray square and I couldn't interact with any thing ; so I SSH'ed to system from the phone and shut it down. I am afraid to lose my work on this device. Is there any way that I can [07:38] check the health of my system and fix what's gone wrong after the black out? Yeah , and one more thing When I started my system today I got this message "An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click from the right click window or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong...." I cant remember the rest of the message. [07:39] I cannot boot from my usb in an old PC, while the same usb runs fine in newer laptops. On the old PC, it says device reported invalid chs sector 0; eh complete.

[09:04] But I noticed since yesterday that I can write whatever I want into /etc/network/interfaces.d/* and it is ignored on ifup/ifdown during system running. [09:04] On restarting the whole system the settings do take effect. === neo is now known as Guest55157 [09:04] I already removed network-manager. But did systemd get involved in network handling or what could that be? [09:04] It just sucks if you can't bring up/down an if the way you want. [09:06] thecpaptain: yes that's a problem. without the daemon you can't use it. check your system logs and review why it failed to start. you probably still have packages from the docker.com repository installed which are getting in the way. [09:06] hm, okey [09:06] how do I check the system logs? [09:06] rather, which system log should I check? [09:06] thecpaptain, tail -f /var/log/syslog [09:07] thecpaptain, cd /var/log && grep -rHin yoursearcterm * === chu3 is now known as chu [09:07] thecpaptain: yes it's probably in syslog [09:07] who here using cub linux [09:08] mohamad: please limit your chat to ubuntu here, thanks. [09:09] ooo, im sorry === rishabh is now known as Guest77105 [09:09] hello | i have created a live usb using usb creator on ubuntu but still its not booting [09:09] can any one help me with this [09:10] my syslog entries connected to docker: http://pastebin.com/ZZT2jE9P === jstein_ is now known as jstein [09:12] hi [09:13] thecpaptain: look at lines 12 to 15. you installed "docker-engine" (probably from the docker.com APT repository), which caused several dependencies to be installed, possibly also from the docker.com APT repository: aufs-tools:amd64 (1:3.2+20130722-1.1ubuntu1, automatic), cgroupfs-mount:amd64 (1.2, automatic), docker-engine:amd64 (1.12.1-0~xenial). Then you only removed the docker-engine package ubt not the dependenciy packages. you may also not [09:13] have removed the docker.com apt repository you added earlier (can't tell form this output). [09:14] okey, suggestions on how to proceed? [09:16] thecpaptain: ensure that the docker.com APT repository is disabled or removed, update the package cache (sudo apt-get update), identify and purge all packages which remain installed from the docker.com repository, purge all docker packages you installed fomr the ubuntu repositories. install docker form the ubuntu repositories. [09:17] where "form" and "fomr" are my variations of the word "from" ;) [09:17] :) [09:18] so, to remove the other packages i run "sudo apt-get purge " ? [09:18] once you identified them, yes [09:18] don't know how to ensure that the docker.com repository is removed however [09:18] if, after sudo apt-get update, apt-cache policy no longer list it, then its is removed. [09:19] you'll still need to identify and purge the packages you installed from there, though. [09:19] removing just the APT repository does not magically do that. [09:20] its still in the list: http://pastebin.com/MSykwT4G [09:20] should I purge it again? [09:21] this page shows a captcha [09:22] now should work: http://pastebin.com/MSykwT4G [09:23] trying to purge again simply tells me that nothing has been removed since package 'docker-engine' is not installed [09:25] thecpaptain: APT repositories and packages are not the same thing. [09:25] APT repositories tell your system where it can download packages from and which versions are available [09:26] thecpaptain: the "apt-get purge" command will allow you to remove packages, but not APT repositories. [09:26] ok i got rid of the apt repository [09:26] now I need to get rid of the packages [09:26] thecpaptain: APT repositories are configured in /etc/apt/sources.list* [09:27] mohamad, [09:27] yeah, I remembered that I had to add the repository there in the installation step, so I removed what I added, and now it doesn't show in 'apt update' anymore [09:27] now I need to identify the dependencie packages [09:27] how do I do that? [09:27] checking whether the C++ compiler works... no [09:27] configure: error: in `/home/user/Downloads/powertop-2.8': [09:27] configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables [09:27] See `config.log' for more details [09:27] user@user-ThinkPad-X200:~/Downloads/powertop-2.8$ make [09:27] bash: make: command not found [09:28] thecpaptain: personally i use this command to identify packages which should not be installed: apt-show-versions | grep -Ev '(uptodate|not installed)$' [09:28] ok, i'll install apt-show-versions then [09:29] thecpaptain: i run this after I removed a third party repository and ran sudo apt-get update. [09:29] hm [09:29] it doesn't give any output [09:29] apt-show-versions | grep -Ev '(uptodate|not installed)$' I mean [09:30] thecpaptain: can i see the output of: sudo apt-get update; apt-cache policy; apt-show-versions | grep -Ev '(uptodate|not installed)$' [09:32] hello | can some one help me | i am unable to install ubuntu on my laptop [09:32] http://pastebin.com/V72pQBuw [09:32] i excluded the apt-get update output [09:33] latk, [09:33] thecpaptain: why? [09:33] rishabh_ ? [09:33] just... thought it was redundant [09:34] i'll give it to you [09:34] can you help me === rany is now known as DonaldTrump [09:34] http://pastebin.com/cYUkd72w [09:36] rishabh_: we can try, but you will need to provide more information. how are you installing, where did you download it from, how is it not working (error message? context?), which model is your laptop (not just the brand)? === DonaldTrump is now known as DonaldJTrump [09:36] i am trying to install using usb | my previos os is fedora i want to erase it and install ubuntu16 === DonaldJTrump is now known as ran === ran is now known as rany [09:37] thecpaptain: okay, so apart from the unsupported (here) dl.openfoam.org repository you would seem to be fine [09:37] some file not found messeg flashes [09:37] tomreyn, can we have 1:1 chat [09:38] Can anyone help me? I have a question [09:38] rishabh_: no, sorry. but we can chat here. [09:38] okey, that's good i guess [09:38] tomreyn, so you got my issue? [09:38] hope the openfoam repository won't stand in my way of installing openfoam using the ubuntu repositories [09:38] :) [09:39] thecpaptain: so i suggest you now follow the how-to i pointed you to earlier, the howtoforge one [09:39] Em... so i just ask my question [09:39] hm, but I have to remove the dependencie packages first? [09:39] rishabh_: you have not answered all questions, yet [09:39] !ask | merito [09:39] merito: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:40] should i proceed with the howtoforge instructions without removing the dependencie packags? [09:41] tomreyn: i downloaded image from ubuntu official site| then i created the usb using ubuntus startup disk creator tool | my laptop model is lenovo Ideapad Z570 | and the error message i am getting is file not fount this message just flashes for some second when i am troying to boot from usb [09:42] I have a launchpad reverse proxy server. But i also use a apt mirror. So how can i just set launchpad proxy and keep mirror unchanged? [09:43] thecpaptain: those dependencies are apparently from the ubuntu repositories (could also be from openfoam, though). so i assume they won't get in the way. you can run apt-cache policy against them and check which repository the "candidate" version comes from. if that's an official ubuntu respostory they won't get in the way. or you could just remove them, probably easier. [09:43] hm [09:43] how do I find out what processor family a machine is ? [09:44] cpuinfo [09:44] since the goal is to install openfoam in the end using the ubuntu repositories, maybe its wisest to remove the openfoam repositories? [09:44] I don't know how to redirect "launchpad.net" to reverse proxy server. [09:44] gebruiker: cat /proc/cpuinfo [09:45] rishabh_: so either the usb media you created was not created properly, or, more likely i think, you are booting off the wrong media (i..e from hard disk instead of the usb media) [09:46] thecpaptain: if that is available in ubuntu, yes, that's wise, since it would ensure you can continue to receive support for it here. [09:46] !info openfoam [09:46] Package openfoam does not exist in xenial [09:46] tomreyn: Same disk i tested after usb creation | the tool prompts to test the media | there its working properly but when i boot from that usb it show me error [09:46] to install openfoam i used the instructions here: https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/Linux/OpenFOAM-4.0/Ubuntu [09:47] thecpaptain: openfoam is not available from default ubuntu repositories [09:47] hm, all right === Error404NotFound is now known as Guest60135 [09:48] ah yes, the idea was to intall openfoam using docker, which was meant to be installed using the ubuntu repositories [09:48] hi [09:48] morf, alright the machine says intel celeron, but i am not sure if that is the family name because it is just a model name? [09:49] ivy, sandy, atom, p4, silvermont ... [09:49] !ASK | How to redirect "launchpad.net" to a reverse proxy server? [09:49] How to redirect "launchpad.net" to a reverse proxy server?: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:49] cat /proc/cpuinfo @ gebruiker [09:50] thecpaptain: i see. so you probably don't need this repository or any packages you may have installed from it. [09:50] reading a bit more carefully on that page, I also found a simpler way to install it using apt-get: http://openfoam.org/download/4-0-ubuntu/ [09:50] tomreyn, yeah i don\t think so either [09:51] i think I have to undo what i did in the first instructions I followed on how to install openfoam [09:51] and remove the repositories [09:51] questions is just how to undo what i did [09:51] gebruiker: you are mixing things up sorry [09:51] thecpaptain: well if you don't want to run it in docker but on the native system then you do need the repository - and those instructions you just pointed to would setup that repository on your system. [09:52] ah [09:52] okey... [09:52] sigh, what to do then? [09:52] gebruiker: do you need like intel cpu family? there is "cpu family" in cpuinfo; or cpu architecture? or manufacturer... [09:52] Sillypirato, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23259314/ alright I don't seem my processor family listed. Do you ? [09:52] thecpaptain: so first of all you will need to decide whether you want to run it on your main system or within a docker container. [09:52] which do you recommend? [09:52] morf, please see pasteubunut link at Sillypirato [09:53] cpu family: 6 [09:53] that's intel designation of the cpu family [09:53] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors [09:53] morf, so which one from the processor family list at the bottom is it? [09:53] i suppose the docker option is the best, since it means i get support from here, so I decide to go for that one [09:53] thecpaptain: hard to tell, i don't know your needs, environment etc. running it in docker is a good way to ensure you don't mess up your main ubuntu system. it can also be more complex. [09:54] tomreyn, [09:54] well, since i have very limited understanding of what i'm doing, i think ensuring i dont f*ck up my ubuntu system is wise [09:55] let's go for docker [09:55] what do I do? [09:55] @gebruiker , this is a VM right ? [09:55] Sillypirato, yes [09:55] rishabh_: try to find out how to reliably boot off your usb media, and try again. [09:55] (and sorry, i missed your earlier reply.) [09:56] gebruiker: MCORE2 [09:56] tomreyn, np | i tries several times but no luck |is there any other way to install ubuntu [09:57] hm [09:57] thecpaptain: sounds reasonable. so install docker as discussed on the howtoforge tutorial, then continue from there using the instructions you found to install openfoam in a docker container. [09:57] @gebruiker im not quite sure I understand what your question is, mind repeating that ? [09:57] tomreyn, okey, so I don't have to uninstall the docker dependencie packages, the openfoam repositories, and the openfoam installation first? [09:58] gebruiker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfdale_(microprocessor) ... i would say MCORE2 it's somehow its variant [09:59] rishabh_: see if you can get the computer to boot *anything* off the usb media (write some other OS installer or live system to it) [09:59] rishabh_: if you can, vome back here. [09:59] *come [10:00] thecpaptain: you have an openfoam installation? [10:00] tomreyn++ thanks [10:00] welcome [10:01] yes [10:01] thecpaptain: if you are going to use openfoam in docker, then you should remove its apt repository, apt GPG signing key and all packages installed off it off your main system beforehand. [10:01] tomreyn, all right, glad i told you [10:02] thecpaptain: i see. so you probably don't need this repository or any packages you may have installed from it. [10:02] always remove what you don't need. [10:02] that sounds good [10:02] questions is just how i do that [10:02] :) [10:03] we did this before witht he other repository. so just re-do it for the openfoam now. [10:03] hm aight [10:03] thecpaptain: i can help you with the steps if you get stuck, but try on your own for now [10:03] where were the repositories again? /etc/apt/... [10:04] /etc/apt/sources.list* [10:05] i found this in my sources list: "deb http://dl.openfoam.org/ubuntu xenial main", so i remove it? [10:05] or should i purge first? [10:08] thecpaptain: yes remove it [10:08] aye captain tomreyn [10:09] it has been removed [10:09] thecpaptain: then it's the same as before: sudo apt-get update; apt-show-versions | grep -Ev '(uptodate|not installed)$' [10:10] hello [10:10] any one there [10:11] so it found two things that seem to have been expected: http://pastebin.com/Wq8vu5Hn [10:11] hello [10:11] tomreyn: i purge those packages then? === pavlushka is now known as Guest81133 [10:14] thecpaptain: yes thats correct [10:14] thecpaptain: you should purge these two packages [10:15] thecpaptain: once that's done, do: sudo apt-get -f install, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [10:16] thecpaptain: this will resolve any dependency conflicts caused by the other packages, if any, and make sure you have the latest software patches installed. [10:16] it suggests to run 'apt autoremove' to remove some packages which are no longer needed [10:16] should i do so? [10:16] Thats quite safe [10:17] thecpaptain: right, i forgot that one. sudo apt-get --purge autoremove [10:17] okey its done [10:17] including dist-upgrade [10:18] should i now proceed to follow the install of docker? [10:18] thecpaptain: finally, to completly remove the 3rd party repositories you had installed, also remove their APT signing keys. first you will need to check which ones are currently installed: apt-key list [10:18] http://pastebin.com/5q22YgMi [10:19] thecpaptain: now identify the ones you no longer need, and get the ID behind the slash in the "pub" line [10:20] e.g. if you wanted to removed the "Ubuntu CD Image Automatic Signing Key", that id would be FBB75451 [10:20] tomreyn: so i'm guessing the ones i no longer need are the ones connected to docker and openfoam? [10:20] this seems correct to me. [10:20] I am writing an ISO image to an USB stick with the dd command. This stick has caused some problems recently. Is there a way to check whether the copy was 100% OK after it has finished? Thx. [10:21] anyone ever have issues in libreoffice in ubuntu where the powerpoint is showing patchy black/white spots over formulas and such? anyone know how to fix this? [10:22] okey, so i purge those according to 'sudo apt-get purge #ID'? [10:22] xchatter: dd it back to a file from the usb stick, then diff both files [10:23] tomreyn, that is a great idea. And so logical. Did not think of that. [10:23] tomreyn, are there also other ways? Just curious. [10:23] tomreyn, thx a lot [10:24] tomreyn: do i get rid of the apt signing keys by purging their IDs? [10:24] thecpaptain: no, apt-get purge only removes installed packages (and their configuration files). what we're doing now (we had skipped this step earlier, so this is actually new) is to remove the cryptographic keys which allowed the system to verify the authenticity of packages installed from these 3rd party repositories. [10:24] hm all right [10:24] its nice to learn as you go along :) [10:25] thecpaptain: to remove those keys, use: sudo apt-key del ID [10:26] damn I got this dd: writing to '/dev/sdc': Input/output error [10:26] 58353+0 records in [10:26] 58352+0 records out [10:26] That means it was not successful, right? [10:26] thecpaptain: once you did so, it should say "OK". but to verify (sincve this tool is a bit buggy sadly), you need to check that the key was really removed: apt-key list ID [10:27] tomreyn: okey, they seemed to be removed === Guest38108 is now known as NameNick [10:27] xchatter: "Input/output error" combined with "records out" lower than "records in" means the copy failed on the destination. [10:28] tomreyn: now i proceed with the docker installation? [10:28] thecpaptain: right. :) [10:28] aye aye! Proceeding to (install) dock(er)! [10:29] tomreyn: and just to double check, this was the one where I don't fuck up the repositories and stuff again: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/docker-installation-and-usage-on-ubuntu-16.04/ [10:29] Is there a way to check whether a USB stick is defective? [10:30] I mean a special software tool under Linux? [10:30] thecpaptain: correct [10:32] xchatter: badblocks === Guest81133 is now known as pavlushka [10:32] tomreyn, seems like docker is installed. Now i have to install the openFoam image [10:33] xchatter: http://superuser.com/questions/376274/check-the-physical-health-of-a-usb-stick-in-linux#answers [10:33] tomreyn, thx [10:34] thecpaptain: right, i think you had a how-to for this as well [10:34] tomreyn, so i'm getting closer to the goal. Now i'm going to install the openFoam, which I think is the following instructions: http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-binary.php [10:34] tomreyn: is it safe to proceed with those instructions? [10:36] tomreyn, the instructions are here actually: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/ [10:37] hello guys.. i have a Acer Aspire notebook and from nothing it starts to hibernate from time to time.. i have win 10 and xubuntu installed in dual boot mode and that happens in both OSes.. any idea of what could be? [10:38] hello [10:39] thecpaptain: the page whose url you just pasted discusses how to configure the docker third party APT repository on ubuntu, and install their docker packages from it. not what you want, since you are using the docker packages from the ubuntu repositories (suppoorted here). [10:40] tomreyn: yeah... i figured so after reading... i'm trying to find an instruction to install openfoam through docker now [10:40] thecpaptain: i cannot guarantee that it's safe to follow the steps discussed on http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-binary.php - doing so would require me to review the two scripts downloaded there and review what they do, and to test it myself. which involves more work than i am willing to spend. [10:41] tomreyn: that's okey. I'll try and see what happens [10:42] thecpaptain: i DO recomend you review those scripts before running them (if you are going to follow that how-to)- [10:42] hm okey... but since I don't understand much of what [10:43] you should always review any scripts you download from anywhere before you make them executable and run them. [10:43] what's written, then there really isn't much I'm going to learn by reading them :) [10:43] but i\m having a look [10:44] seems okey to me, i will try [10:45] thecpaptain: before you run the openfoam scripts, make sure dockerd is running (in case you skipped those steps while following the docker installation how-to) [10:45] :q [10:45] ^ please ignore that line [10:46] ah yeah, it tells me that docker isn't running [10:46] ignoring line which has been ignored [10:47] thecpaptain: so back to the docker installation how-to from howtoforge, and do the steps you missed / skipped. [10:48] thecpaptain: make sure you ran everything up to and including "docker search ubuntu", and that none of it returned errors. [10:48] aye aye [10:49] thecpaptain: this last command just ensures that the docker environment can properly communicate with the online registry which provides ready-made docker images for download (you'll need this later on). [10:50] i've followed the instructions: http://pastebin.com/KmmTKRyF [10:50] you could also follow the entire how-to to get an idea of how to work with docker containers. [10:51] looks good [10:51] and 'docker search ubuntu' [10:51] http://pastebin.com/77diczQZ [10:51] captcha [10:51] any idea about my problem? [10:52] tomreyn: should i quit root now? [10:52] Exterminador: does it really hibernate, or just power off? [10:53] thecpaptain: yes you should [10:53] tomreyn: it just sleeps. i hit power button and it get back to where it was (asking for login password on xubuntu) [10:53] i proceed to the instructions: Installing and running OpenFOAM+ On Linux, in http://www.openfoam.com/download/install-binary.php [10:54] Exterminador: try a bios update, if it doesn't help, return to vendor, or have it repaired / replaced. [10:54] tomreyn: command "id" doesn's show anything about docker. That might be the problem? How do i add docker to groups? [10:55] thecpaptain: good point. you need to add yourself to the docker group, i think. let me check. [10:56] thecpaptain: try this: sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami) [10:57] thecpaptain: if it runs without errors, then logout (completely, including graphical desktop), login again, and follow the openfoam how-to from there. [10:57] didn't show anything. http://pastebin.com/K351SNxc [10:58] hm, all right [10:58] i'll reboot the entire system i think [10:58] be back in a bit [10:58] :) [10:59] thecpaptain: sorry that didnt work for some reason [10:59] hm okey [10:59] thecpaptain: let me reproduce it here quickly [11:00] sure, i'm just glad you [11:00] are helping :) [11:00] hello [11:01] Why is there so many minor revisions fo 12.04 such as 12.04.5 [11:02] webchat it's called 'point releases' [11:03] why is that? [11:04] webchat i guess the windows service packs are similar, so not unusual [11:04] thecpaptain: so do this: sudo adduser $(whoami) docker [11:04] The installers happen to be 40-60MB overly large for a CDr. [11:05] it returns: "The user `thecpaptain' is already a member of `docker'" [11:05] so that's good i guess [11:05] thecpaptain: then logout (incl. desktop) then login, then run this: docker search ubuntu. it should not return an error message. if no error, proceed with openfoam how-to [11:06] i'll be back [11:06] ok [11:06] (and yes looks good) [11:06] Is there an installer for a supported version under 700MB? [11:07] !minimal | webchat [11:07] webchat: 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 === Nilesh__ is now known as Nilesh_ [11:09] !noob [11:09] back [11:09] !behelpful | hpsmm [11:09] hpsmm: As our !guidelines say, "When helping, be helpful". If you're not familiar with the issue at hand, let someone else handle it instead of making !offtopic comments or jokes. [11:09] tomreyn: what was i supposed to do now again? [11:09] cfhowlett: the server install is small enough. [11:10] webchat, indeed. [11:10] What is the advantage of using 64bit? [11:10] webchat: it guarantees that the kernel are using the latest optimizations for your cpu [11:10] webchat, 1. 32 bit is on the way out. plan ahead [11:10] thecpaptain_: first, make sure you can now control docker as your standard user, without having to run it through sudo. the openfoam tutorial depends on this. you can test this using: docker searhc ubuntu [11:10] * docker search ubuntu [11:10] webchat: it also allows you to use more than 4 gigs of ram [11:11] tomreyn: 'docker search ubuntu' returns no errors and a list of things, so it seems to work [11:11] tomreyn: i proceed with the installation instructions then? [11:11] thecpaptain_: yes, you should be good to go now. continue with the openfoam instructions, getting help from the openfoam project if things should fail. [11:11] aha! docker info now gives a response [11:12] tomodachi: the system has over 4G now and is running a 32bit version [11:12] excellent, then I say thanks a lot! [11:12] tomreyn: you have saved me a sh*t ton of time [11:12] thecpaptain_: welcome, and good luck. [11:13] thecpaptain_: hope you learnt a bit meanwhile. it was fun to work with you. i'll be AFK for a while now. [11:13] so make thing not compatible becaue of rumor "32 bit is on the way out" cfhowlett [11:14] yeah, i learnt something all right. Not deep knowledge, but i know more than before. I'm glad you enjoyed, it was fun for me too :). Cheers and take care! [11:14] webchat in a terminal, type this command ... what's the very last line ... sudo dmidecode --type 4 [11:14] :) take care [11:17] 64-bit capable I know my CPU's MonkeyDust [11:26] hello.. is there any good note taking app for linux that has write anywhere functionality, quick search, handwriting (scribbling) [11:29] Will dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base reconfigure my audio in Ubuntu? === andrzeju is now known as andrzejku [11:31] you went to all the trouble to type it in irc ... why not put it in a terminal? [11:32] cfhowlett, Yes, let's just put awesome commands in the terminal and see what they do. [11:32] lol [11:34] NoCode did you come here to ask or to tell what to do === Error404NotFound is now known as Guest21056 [11:36] Hello! I'd like to edit the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UEFI/OVMF, which contains wrong information (outdated links). I'm logged in, but there is "Immutable page" on the page tabs. What should I do? [11:36] Hello, I am new to dedicated servers and linux, I am trying to install LAMP on a dedicated server, I try to install apache by typing in sudo get-apt install apache2, but it says package not found? [11:37] @paulvd: did you update the apt packages cache? [11:37] sonda, have you tired xournal ... [11:38] it doesn't have search functionality [11:38] @UbuntuOK: Yes I did sudo apt-get update [11:39] paulvd, according the wiki, you should install lamp-server^ [11:39] yeah that's what I am trying to do [11:40] paulvd, sudo apt install lamp-server^ [11:41] paulvd or tasksel (task select) [11:42] hello [11:42] ubuntu 14.04 ... i'm looking for a way to make a continious loop of about 70 pictures [11:42] MonkeyDust, I came here for a fucking solution. [11:42] NoCode, please no profanity allowed [11:42] Whatever. [11:43] Nooby_One_Nooby, lots of options. gimp comes to mind [11:44] openshot can also ouput a video. [11:44] You're the one telling to try a command that may or may not work which completely mess up my system. [11:44] Anyway [11:44] See ya [11:45] E: Unable to locate package lamp-server^ E: Couldn't find task 'lamp-server' E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'lamp-server^' [11:45] :/ [11:46] cfhowlett, can you give me a basic walkthrough with gimp about how to get started? [11:46] paulvd, what version of ubuntu [11:46] 14.10 [11:46] Nooby_One_Nooby, wait 1 --- confirm that you want to a .gif? [11:46] utopic [11:46] paulvd, dead and end of life, no longer supported. upgrade to 16.04 [11:46] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#Resetting_User_Configuration [11:46] huh [11:47] can someone plz guide how to get amount of data written on HDD by operating system? I mean, I want to know how much data is written on HDD at my current usage level so that I can buy SSD (endurability in Terabytes of data written) according to that. [11:47] i don't mind the filetype of the endproduct... i want a continous loop of a selection of about 70 jpg fotos [11:47] what no longer supported [11:47] you mean in 14.10 they didnt have lamp? [11:47] paulvd, no I mean 14.10 is DEAD [11:47] !eol | paulvd [11:47] paulvd: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [11:48] yea but doesn't mean we cannot install packages on it, windows xp has also stopped and so has so many other OS, doesn't mean you cannot install apps on them [11:48] paulvd, that's not how ubuntu works; when you use apt, as default, [11:48] paulvd, so let me confirm: you are now on ubuntu with ZERO updates and ZERO security ? [11:49] it tries to retrieve the packages from the online repositories. the repository for ubuntu 14.10 is now defunct. [11:49] if you forcedly want to use 14.10 (at your own risk), [11:49] you can use the CD/ISO as repository, [11:50] and the packages will be retrieved from it. BIG DISCLAIMER: nobody in the world will support/approve such setup. [11:50] cfhowlett: I am not going to "host" sites or anything there, I need that to test things out like a localhost and unfortunately the dedicated server doesn't have 16.04 so I want to use 14.10 only or should I switch to CentOS ? [11:50] It has CentOS6 [11:51] paulvd, if you have that machine on the internet you should expect and plan to fix the breaches because you have no security. using centos or other OS is your choice. and testing on a defunct OS sounds ... questionable. [11:52] why does it? how does it matter, its not going to be live, and I will look at security part later on, but right now my priority is to learn how to handle a dedibox and i have only 14.10 at my end [11:52] gkk [11:53] paulvd, and the repos to install are off-lined so .... [11:53] you can compile from source though === BSD is now known as notorious_bsd [11:54] paulvd you can do tests with 14.10 if you like, but you cannot come here for support [11:54] paulvd, the procedure I've mentioned above will make the install work. [11:55] which procedure? CD/ISO ? [11:55] yes. edit `/etc/apt/sources.list` and uncomment the cdrom entry. [11:56] the virtual machine will need to have the iso loaded in the drive, which will be seen as cdrom from the guest o/s. [11:56] i'm trying to run openFoam using docker, and i'm having some troubles with performing simple terminal operations. For example I want to open a text file using 'vim', but it simply says: "bash-4.1$ vim 0/U bash: vim: command not found" [11:57] does anyone know what one has to do to simple commands in docker? [11:58] cfhowlett ... still available for some help with the loop using gimp? [11:58] thecpaptain_ there's also #docker [11:58] Nooby_One_Nooby, not forgotten, sorry for the delay [11:59] MonkeyDust ah yeah, i'll go there :) thanks [11:59] no prob ... it's for my baby's first birthdayparty ... today .... so no pressure here :p [11:59] helo [12:00] someoune speaking GERMAN???

[12:04] Nooby_One_Nooby, total gif display time - 20 secs, yes. [12:05] thecpaptain_: the channel is restricted. you need to identify with nickserv first and then if you have access, you can join [12:06] total gif or each foto within that gif? [12:06] Nooby_One_Nooby, all the images will be copied to a single .gif and said .gif will loop every 20 seconds [12:06] Eddinn: damn... okey, thanks a lot [12:07] ok, so i will change the 20 into 700, so each foto will have 10secs, is that the logic? [12:07] Nooby_One_Nooby, yep [12:07] switching to centos [12:07] ubuntu is weird [12:07] good choice [12:07] Reading package lists...

[12:21] but i can't find them in my list with installed applications [12:21] it's command line ... [12:22] can you type the command line for me to copy/paste, please?

[12:33] now grub cannot read filesystem and boot, so I booted from usbdrive [12:33] sorseg doing what, on which ubuntu version [12:33] xubuntu 16.04 [12:33] sorseg doing what and what do DRDY and UNC mean === [0xAA] is now known as Zer0Pings [12:34] Nooby_One_Nooby, ... or open a terminal. type cd then drag and drop the /Pictures folder in the termainl [12:34] *terminal* [12:35] MonkeyDust: when trying to boot it will show before splash screen, also in syslog, Now when ubuntu won't load from hdd and I boot from usb it is shown in syslog when I run gparted === [0xAA] is now known as Zer0Pings [12:35] and after i dropped the folder, there appears a line and after that i type the command? [12:35] yep [12:35] something like 68489.756311] ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [68489.756314] ata1.00: error: { UNC } [12:36] yet again, no such file or directory [12:36] pwd [12:36] will display your current directory [12:37] /home/myname [12:37] then you are NOT in pictures [12:37] Nooby_One_Nooby: type cd Pictures [12:37] capital P [12:38] now i'm in it, i think [12:38] pwd [12:38] how many seconds you want the delay === [0xAA] is now known as Zer0Pings [12:44] sorry the delay, my pc stopped responding suddenly [12:44] eric, i have about 70pictures, wanted about 10secs each, so i used 700 [12:44] cfhowlett, i'm going to open my gif now === anonymous is now known as Guest51647 [12:47] actually, it seems my terminal is still working ... is that normal, that long of a time? [12:47] Nooby_One_Nooby: yeah [12:48] 70 images? yea and it'll be a big*** file too [12:48] anyone able to help walk me through getting more stable wifi drivers set up? I'm guessing that's the resaon the wifi keeps disconnecting (new install of 16.04 on a surface pro 20 [12:48] Nooby_One_Nooby: the delay isn't like that [12:49] Nooby_One_Nooby: try with -delay 1000 for about 10secs delay between them [12:51] eric, i alreayd typed the command with 700, and since it is taking a huge time, i don't think i'll redoing it soon :s [12:51] :D [12:51] it's fine 700 isn't that bad [12:51] not much of a difference [12:52] and i can see that it is working ... every time that i click on the gif file, it is increasing in size, so at least there's that [12:52] the man page of the convert doesn't mention at all the delay but i tried 100 and it gave like 1sec [12:52] it's not even millisecond, kind of odd [12:53] Nooby_One_Nooby: yeah [12:53] hi [12:53] Nooby_One_Nooby: what are you trying to do ultimately? [12:54] just a slideshow of a selection of photos for the first birthdayparty for my baby girl [12:54] cool [12:54] i hope that my father in law remembers to bring the projector [12:55] Nooby_One_Nooby image resolution is also a factor. HD images will take substantially longer to render than lower resolution images. [12:55] guys, how can i force a screen resolution?

[12:56] i.ve used it on windows, with higher resolution [12:56] Exterminador: then the display driver propably isn't loaded [12:57] Exterminador: what display card do you have? [12:58] if I just wait around for 16.05 will the wireless issues eventually get patched up? [13:01] considering that there is and will be no 16.05 ??? [13:01] perhaps you mean 16.04.2 or 16.10? [13:01] huh [13:02] why no 16.05? [13:02] not how ubuntu works [13:03] !release [13:03] Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months.

[14:13] vegombrei: mpv is good though, worth a shot, it can sometimes give warnings too, like 'noframe' [14:14] yeah it did play on windows, but then windows was bothering me with virus and crashing so i switched to ubuntu [14:14] vegombrei: k, if you want to install ffmpeg so you can ffprobe it then that'll at least tell you /which/ codec is being a royal pain. [14:14] SchrodingersScat: ah ok, mebbe it adds the missing files, ill install it and try brb [14:15] if certain packages are installed by root will router own those packages and others user cannot use the, [14:15] ?

[14:22] SchrodingersScat: is there a why to add those repos? and install the missing files?

[14:31] bekks: how do you maintain ssh keys across machines? is there an automatic way to move them around?

Got bit by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1611470 I applied the diff and still get errors. Now all my sources are set to xenial sources. How can I unwind the repo change?

[14:41] howudodat, so, still wily [14:41] Maroon: look at ubuntu mate. that is the same look [14:42] or better said how can i configure the look of gnome as much i like? [14:42] howudodat, apt-cache policy linux-generic [14:42] mate-desktop [14:42] Maroon: look at ubuntu mate :) [14:42] yes, the update wont run, but it ran far enough to change all my sources to xenial. I could just do an apt-get upgrade / dist-upgrade now, but I'm afraid it wont run any post upgrade scripts necessary, and leave me more borked than I am at the moment [14:43] Im searching for it in google k1l [14:43] howudodat, yep,... what the kernel ver in apt-cache policy linux-generic [14:43] policy shows 4.2 installed with 4.4 candidate from xenial repos [14:43] Maroon: https://ubuntu-mate.org/ [14:44] I'm about it k1l [14:44] howudodat, retry with the patch... if not working you won't have much of a choice [14:44] anyone using vagrant here? [14:45] the diff is 4 lines of code, so I patched it manually. there are still errors with the apt-folders. is there an unwind script? [14:45] Telekom is angry about me. I bought just an german Telekom account and surfed now of 2.04 GB with just 10 Euro cost up to date. thats really wealthy [14:46] actually I know there is, becuase I've seen it unwind upgrades in the past (resetting sources).

[15:01] memin, can also use the software center, and several other methods.: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !KPackageKit, !Muon, "apt-cache search ", or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 30000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!

[15:02] yes bu it gives an error now i have reset the ubuntu os i will try it but if i install it sudo apt install netbeans it also installs it for java not for c c++ and php [15:02] sorry for bad english [15:02] hi everybody [15:04] memin: from 'apt-cache show netbeans' : Package includes the Base IDE, Java Development Tools and Plug-in Development Tools. Support for PHP, Ruby, C/C++, Java EE and others can be added. [15:06] memin: you have 2 optoins. install netbeans from the supported repos as SchrodingersScat described and then install c++/php as plugins. This is preferred way and described here: https://netbeans.org/community/releases/80/cpp-setup-instructions.html. Option 2 is go to netbeans download page, download the bundle you want and install directly. This is described here: https://netbeans.org/community/releases/81/install.html [15:06] he's gone ;( it's over [15:07] oops :) [15:07] i did the same [15:07] howudodat: we could have also probably mentioned that a 'reset' isn't required to solve this problem, and although I don't use netbeans I see it's listed as a java IDE, so I would imagine java is expected with that. [15:08] iora: back to my nightmare :) is there a easy way to go back to wily sources? The installer has an unwind feature in it, I've seen it before. any idea how to trigger that?

[16:12] can clearly see in my filemanger [16:13] thats what I passed to you eariler [16:14] oic I see what I did wrong [16:15] how do I specify the file type when it a dd copy of my first drive [16:15] that has two filesystems on it [16:16] dd does not operate on a file level, so the file extension for input/output files is irrelevant. [16:16] dd cares not of file types [16:16] dd consumes all [16:16] yes [16:17] ok so I dded the sda which has windows and linux on it [16:17] What was the exact dd command you used?

So when I download Ubuntu GNome, I am a bit closer to old GNome Desktop [16:21] ? [16:21] Maroon: No, since the old gnome desktop is dead. [16:21] Maroon: Ubuntu Gnome is using Gnome 3. [16:22] Maroon: there was a mate/cinnamon spinoff and I didn't follow it to know which one people stuck with, if they have. [16:22] I see. I wish to know which desktop has the best usability [16:22] Maroon: That depends on your personal opinion.

[16:26] ChetManly: afaik something like dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb2 should work like you expect, and may even be able to do something like make /dev/sdb2 an ext4 partition, mount it to /backups, then dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/backups/sda1.img ; etc and then mount /backups/sda1.img /foo/bar or something?

Every client I spin up a new VPS, but that means each VPS has it's own root password, user password, database password... [16:41] right now i have about 15 VPS's running so it's starting to get a bit unweildy [16:41] i use a password manager but there's no way to track server stuff in it [16:41] lookup puppet @ stan_man_can [16:42] Sillypirato, i'll take a look thanks [16:45] Sillypirato, seems really poweful [16:45] powerful* [16:45] more than what I was looking for but maybe it's a better route [16:46] stan_man_can its steep but indeed it is worth it , there are alternatives [16:47] stan_man_can something like webmin is also useful for multiple servers [16:47] !webmin [16:47] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [16:47] stan_man_can iirc it has a nice gui for that kinda stuff [16:47] ah my bad , ty [16:48] hey guys, I have to use xrandr to compensate for overscan on a monitor, but I haven't been able to get the xrandr commands to get run on boot [16:48] is there a configuration file where I can set xrandr configurations [16:51] Guy1524, you mean at startup ? [16:51] ya [16:52] I would like the changes to be applied before lightdm boots up as well [16:52] Guy1524, oh [16:52] if its not possible ok [16:52] Guy1524, http://askubuntu.com/questions/637911/how-to-run-xrandr-commands-at-startup-in-ubuntu [16:52] Guy1524, but that is after lightdm [16:53] x is started before lightdm right? [16:53] Yes let the DE handle that [16:54] Sillypirato, ah [16:54] the pricing is going to kill the pu ppet idea [16:54] $120 per node? I'm assuming a node is what, a server? [16:55] Guy1524, lightdm starts X [16:55] pricing ? [16:55] https://puppet.com/product/pricing [16:55] is there a way to tell lightdm to run the xrandr commands [16:55] Guy1524, idk [16:56] Thats enterprise , you dont need that , if you want support you can buy it [16:56] I saw somewhere /usr/sbin/lightdm-session [16:56] software remains free [16:56] Guy1524, http://askubuntu.com/questions/74189/run-a-startup-script-with-lightdm [16:56] Guy1524, but it's old === Impeccable_Eyes is now known as UrsaTempest [16:57] Sillypirato, ah [16:58] Guy1524, that's better https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM look at Adding System Hooks [16:59] stan_man_can: similar to ansible has a paid product, but if you don't need it then there's still the core tool. [17:00] SchrodingersScat, gotcha [17:00] ^ which is common amongst opensource tools , the bigger onces [17:00] we're a laravel shop and use laravel forge, It's super awesome for the most part but lacking in a few area's [17:02] @stan_man_can , landscape is also a great tool but its paid [17:03] k thx [17:04] which configuration file do I put it in? [17:06] because this is all I have in /etc/lightdm [17:06] lightdm.conf.d users.conf [17:06] and the first one (directory) is empty [17:07] guys how come distrobutions like arch linux seem to boot so fast [17:07] in comparison to ubuntu === stuart is now known as Guest57889 [17:07] less junk basically [17:08] very light on there feet at install stage [17:08] ubuntu has all the bells and whistles in place [17:08] but you can use a server install and only use pkgs you want [17:08] which imo is a good approach [17:08] arch linux = lots of work imo [17:09] if you care i suggest ubuntu server [17:09] its clean and quick [17:10] its for the more experienced user [17:10] found a solution which may work [17:10] is it possible to get the nice desktop env but not all the bloat? so it is nice and fast like arch? [17:10] sure === Swant is now known as Svensk [17:10] server install + *insert DE/WM* [17:12] can i just not turn off services or remove apps? this so I can keep the pre-configured settings? [17:12] sure you can but imo its the wrong way around [17:13] !minimal | gebruiker You can use the minimal install cd and just add what you want, [17:13] gebruiker You can use the minimal install cd and just add what you want,: 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 [17:13] ^ that basically [17:13] bare bones [17:14] and gebruiker , you might learn something in the process [17:14] Cool, but will I have to fiddle with fontconfig and other programs in order to keep the nice fonts? (just looking at it from a pragmatic point ) === opnox is now known as boot === boomer is now known as bitch === boot is now known as Guest3894 === ubuntu is now known as dudrubix [17:18] hello [17:18] Hi. could someone help me a bit figuring out if I should create a bug report? http://pastebin.com/VPG1jweH [17:19] this happens when I do decrease and then once increase the brightness on my screen, but there no change in brightness [17:20] do i need to fstab each partion i made? [17:21] dudrubix , if you want to mount it yes. [17:21] i created a partion for / /var and /home [17:22] uhm , the installer can do that stuff 4 u [17:22] do i need to do something with fstab for each partion? [17:23] Tell me what r u trying to do exactly === g_ is now known as Guest68589 === ubuntu is now known as Guest41489 [17:24] have seperate partions. when i generate the fstab do i need to do it for each partion /home etc [17:25] Tell me what r u trying to do exactly [17:28] dudrubix Yes for every partition made you need to update fstab to have it auto mounted [17:30] I have a program that I use "screen" to start but does not have a pid file when started. I'm looking for a better way of starting/monitor the process and restart it if it dies. Any suggestions [17:30] i did genfstab -U /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab how would i also add home? [17:35] Hi, Chef failed, ideas? [17:35] dudrubix I have no clue , i edit that stuff manualy === dutch_ is now known as rinzes [17:45] I've got a very simple systemd service file. It works if I manually invoke it, but it doesn't run automatically at boot time. I'm sure I've missed something obvious. Can anyone take a look? https://bpaste.net/show/5d6583e32921 [17:45] if i install rvm as root [17:45] then add a user [17:45] the user cannot do rvm get head [17:45] oops, catted in the wrong directory, but I promise that the file is present in /lib/systemd/system [17:46] receive an error Archives path '/usr/local/rvm/archives' not writable, aborting. [17:47] !info rvm [17:47] Package rvm does not exist in xenial [17:47] i installed manually [17:47] what's rvm [17:47] https://rvm.io/rvm/offline [17:48] ruby version manager [17:51] AnimalFarmPig: don't add your own services to /lib, put them under the same path in /etc. you also need to 'systemctl enable' it. [17:52] Is there a version of Ubuntu that runs on a Surface 3? [17:52] !tablet | aeoril [17:52] aeoril: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch . Support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [17:52] MonkeyDust: thanks [17:52] ducasse: in /etc/init or some other location? [17:53] AnimalFarmPig: /etc/systemd/system [17:53] ducasse: ahhh! cool. Thanks. [17:54] AnimalFarmPig: /lib/systemd/system is for packaged unit files. [17:55] I thought /lib was a strange place to put my init scripts... [17:56] alright, needful done, restarting the box to make sure that worked [17:59] Yay! It tried to start, and then failed because it depends on an NFS mount being up. Adding a "Requires=nfs-client.target"... [17:59] guys [18:00] lets say ext4 comes with updates... how would I then update my file system without mkfs´ing it [18:00] and losing my data [18:00] gebruiker: the updates arent in the fs structure on disk, but in the fs driver in the kernel. [18:00] No need for mkfs. [18:01] cool [18:01] bekks, also for btrfs? [18:01] gebruiker: For every filesystem. [18:01] gebruiker: even for xfs :P [18:01] lol === smoth is now known as csgon00b [18:04] hi, why am i getting: configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs. [18:04] when trying to run a configure script? [18:04] i have the build-essential package installed [18:10] negev: crosscompiling? [18:11] no, somehow my libc6 was screwed, had to reinstall it [18:11] look at the configure log to get a more exact error [18:11] yeah i did [18:14] Hello. Can someone tell me if the update-grub utility actually modifies my computer's firmware in any way on a UEFI system? [18:16] EvilRob, i dont believe so.. [18:16] EvilRob: Whats the background of your question? [18:16] EvilRob: it shouldn't, no, the installer should do that with efibootmgr. [18:17] i can't install libpcre3-dev, get this error: " libpcre3-dev : Depends: libpcre3 (= 2:8.38-3.1) but 2:8.39-1+deb.sury.org~trusty+1 is to be installed" [18:17] why is that? [18:17] i can't reinstall libpcre3 either [18:17] negev: Can you pastebin "sudo apt update" please? [18:18] bekks: http://pastebin.com/68mCLNz4 [18:18] Hi, guys! How can I change a font and it's size in TTYn? I would like to make it a bit bigger. Thanks! [18:19] I have a ThinkPad 11e which is UEFI. After I made some changes to Grub, I can no longer bring up the boot menu with F12 to boot from a USB flash drive. I can't even bring up the firmware settings with F1. In both cases, the screen remains blank. I can still boot normally, however. [18:19] ro_: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup [18:19] negev: And whats the output of "apt-cache policy libpcre3" please? [18:20] bekks: http://pastebin.com/HZk1vrEJ [18:20] negev: So remove that package, wherever you minstalled it from. It is not from the official repos. [18:21] Is it possible that something I did in grub utility somehow corrupted the firmware to render it inaccessible to me? [18:21] EvilRob: No. [18:22] Damn. I can't figure this out. I guess this ThinkPad is going back for service. [18:23] EvilRob, what you mean with 'grub utility' ? /etc/default/grub ? [18:24] ioria: update-grub [18:25] EvilRob, update-grub basically is just grub-mkconfig [18:25] EvilRob, what file did you edit ? [18:26] ioria: /etc/default/grub, just like you mentioned. [18:26] EvilRob, can you post it ? [18:27] anyone know of good note taking app where there is search functionality, write anywhere both typed and handwritten... xournal is good but no search functionality [18:27] sonda [18:28] emacs [18:28] b0lw4y: Handwritten notes in emacs? :) [18:28] missed that part lol [18:28] b0lw4y, handwriting on emacs ? wow [18:28] SCREW ME [18:28] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23261348/ [18:29] i have a wacom tablet.. i couldn't make onenote run on wine [18:29] has anybody luck setting up office 2010 on wine with inking [18:30] EvilRob, looks ok... try to uncomment #GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 and see if something changes [18:31] hey [18:31] ioria: I'll give that a shot, but honestly, I don't know why that setting might prevent my firmware settings from loading. [18:31] i just updated ubuntu gnome 16.04 to 16.10 and I can only use Wayland session because X11 session hangs after ~20 seconds. Anyone else experiencing this? I know that 16.10 is not fully stable yet. [18:31] EvilRob, neither do i... run sudo update-grub after [18:32] fes: #ubuntu+1 [18:32] yeats, should I join that channel? [18:33] fes: yeah, that's where support for 16.10 happens while it's pre-release [18:33] oh, thank you! [18:33] sonda, what you mean exactly with 'search functionality' ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/315174/search-inside-xournal-files-xoj [18:34] ioria: Here's the output of update-grub: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23261370/ [18:34] ioria: ready to reboot.

[18:36] ioria: thats a cumbersome way of doing it [18:37] sonda, guess you're right... but can work [18:37] EvilRob, you should ask Eric^^ [18:39] EvilRob: That warning "Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT ...." os just that - a warning - and will not inpacct the system performance. However it is easily fixable .

[20:26] print here the output [20:26] 41 /etc/passwd [20:26] i think you should use paste bin [20:27] I'm new to this: what is that?

[20:30] black screen, even if I hir [20:30] w4l5t, im using the live usd stick now [20:30] hit alt Ctrl and f7 during boot. [20:30] Is there any PPA for Ubuntu 16.04 providing FFmpeg with libvpx and libopus ? [20:30] ubuntu-mate, mount root partition on mnt [20:31] type mount root in terminal [20:31] ubuntu-mate, root is the name of superuser [20:32] Can anyone explain this line from the output of update-grub? "Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration". It appears in this output. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23261370/. My problem is that I can no longer access my computer's firmware settings with F1 during the POST. This also makes booting to a USB impossible using F12. All that happens now is my system gets stuck at a blank screen. Prior to changing my grub settings, I [20:32] everything functioned normally. Did grub flash something and corrupt my BIOS? [20:32] so how do i mount the root [20:32] u dont mount root, u mount root partition [20:33] Id that what I type [20:33] is* [20:33] no, do you know whats your root partition? [20:33] no [20:34] ls /dev [20:34] there is a lot there [20:34] type "wc - l | ls /dev" [20:35] ls /dev/sd* [20:35] wait, its "ls /dev | wc -l" [20:35] i know a better command for this [20:35] simple one [20:35] hmm, what is causing this? [20:35] ./bin/sh: 1: /usr/bin/nano: not found [20:35] how do I tell what the partitions are [20:36] type "ls /dev | wc -l" [20:36] slaffe: Run 'which nano` [20:36] it says 224 [20:36] [22:36:39]root@scenics:/home/slaffe# which nano [20:37] type "ls /dev >output.txt" [20:37] ./bin/nano [20:37] slaffe, ls -l /bin/nano /usr/bin/nano [20:37] slaffe, ln -s* [20:38] slaffe: So the script you ran thinks nano is in the wrong place. [20:38] what do I do with the file [20:38] My home media server is booting into emergency mode and I dont know why! Help! [20:38] thanks [20:38] maxcell_: That's not a very good idea. Anything in /usr/bin can be removed at any time with a system update. [20:38] ubuntu-mate, sorry type "ls -a /dev >output.txt" [20:38] Hi all! [20:38] Rarrikins, you are just creating the link, its ok [20:39] slaffe: Edit the script you're running and change the /usr/bin/nano to /bin/nano. [20:39] maxcell_: The link can be deleted later. [20:39] maxcell_: That will make the script stop working again. [20:39] now what [20:39] thats true [20:39] ubuntu-mate, do u use an editor on linux? [20:39] if there is any way, better [20:39] no [20:39] dont think so [20:39] what browser do u use? [20:40] chrome [20:40] w4l5t, ubuntu-mate just type "lsblk" in the terminal to see where the root partition is mounted [20:40] open output.txt in chrome [20:40] :D [20:40] will firefox work [20:40] yes [20:40] !manual | ubuntu-mate [20:40] ubuntu-mate: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [20:42] ok its open [20:42] okay...just my FSTAB [20:43] select all text displayed by clicking and moving [20:43] moving the mouse [20:43] Can somebody please help me fix my sound, the sound quality is very poor, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 my integrated audio chip on my motherboard is realtek ac 898 [20:43] ok [20:43] I can't stand this any longer [20:44] ubuntu-mate, did u select it? [20:44] I been an Ubuntu user for almost 10 years and now this [20:44] zteam, buy a better sound card [20:44] @_@ [20:45] yep [20:45] hi my ubuntu doesn't boot and i dont know why, can someone tell me where the log file is [20:45] ubuntu-mate, press Ctrl+Ins [20:45] maxcell_, yeah sure.... I already spend $1400 bucks on a new computer of course I like to intvest in a new soundcard too [20:46] zteam, im just saying the sound card can be bad and thats why the sound quality wasn't that good [20:46] zteam_, clementine got a build-in equalizer. but then again, you should have noticed this before, it does not come out-of-the-blue [20:46] insert? [20:46] yes, ins is from Insert [20:46] why is ubuntu so popular if you have to reinstall it every boot [20:46] i have never ever in ten years had a ubuntu install survive rebooting [20:46] it's so fucking frustrating [20:46] blastedt, nvidia card? [20:46] no clue [20:47] blastedt mind your language while you ask / look for a solution [20:47] my parents sent me their netbook [20:47] blastedt, some people say arch is much more reliable [20:47] now what? [20:47] maxcell_, sure, but if the motherboards sound chip is faulty I rather return the motherboard [20:47] ubuntu-mate, google for "paste bin" [20:47] zteam, what exactly means your sound is bad? [20:48] zteam, its making squeaks or something? [20:48] hi [20:48] OerHeks, noticed what before I have owned this computer for just one week [20:48] ok finally got into the boot logs and it says "failed to fully start up daemon: input/output error" [20:48] w4l5t: googled it and pasted? [20:48] is there a way to create a shortcut key to paste a text sting [20:49] no, find a link related to "paste bin" search term [20:49] blastedt, how did you get it if your system didn't inicialize [20:49] ok then what [20:49] did u find it? [20:49] found pastebin.com [20:49] ok, click on that link [20:49] im in [20:50] ok, sign in using your google account to be able to delete what u will upload [20:50] poppi, you mean like a command in the terminal or just a key that you press inside a game and it makes the command for you [20:50] apparently the computer crashed while updating to 16.04. [20:50] maxcell_, it only plays the sound partialy so it's get disturbed and on top of that it's making a clicking sound of it's own [20:50] it does not boot. [20:51] on Linux 3.19, it boots in low-graphoc mode [20:51] @maxcell_ upstart works, recovery and normal boot do not [20:51] so i can get into a command line but thats it [20:51] zteam, wasn't your headphone plug? [20:51] maxcell: no not in the terminal but in a text editor [20:52] w4l5t: Ok im log in [20:53] ubuntu-mate, did u choose a username? [20:53] yes [20:53] there's a clickable blue box tagged "new paste" [20:53] maxcell: i want a key combination that will help me past prefined text [20:53] ok I did that and pasted [20:54] ok, post the url of your paste [20:54] maxcell_, if I use my headphone plug it all works great, if I connect it via a TOSLINK (S/PDIF) it give distorted sound and clicks, If use my TOSLINK cable on my old computer it works perfectly [20:54] http://pastebin.com/0tY2wj9z [20:55] poppi, hmm i didn't know how to do that, is more like a linux/programming area and it's over my understanding. i think you could find your answer in #programming and #linux [20:55] no, you didnt run "ls -a /dev >output.txt" [20:55] w4l5t, "lsblk" can resolv your problem [20:55] you executed only "ls /dev >output.txt" [20:56] ok I will do it again [20:57] zteam, so what can be wrong, the Kernel or the Sound card right? [20:57] Hey does anyone know how to fix `Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error` btw? === h3x is now known as Guest35861 [20:58] blastedt, type "journalctl -xe" [20:58] No journal files were found / -- No entries -- [20:58] try "dmesg|tail -n 20" [20:58] maxcell_, I agree on that of course it can be both things [20:58] zteam, you should run a liveCD for another linux OS or mayb windows just to test. If the problem were in kernel it can be because of a missing non-free driver that you can install latter (dont ask me how) [20:59] maxcell_, but the only way to test it properly would be to use windows I guess [20:59] "Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1" and the daemon i/o error [20:59] what comand do i need to use to know what linux distro is running? === smoth is now known as csgon00b [20:59] Guest35861 cat /etc/issue [21:00] blastedt, you gotta paste 20 lines [21:00] tyy [21:00] zteam, i think debian with non-free firmwares can do the work too but, the windows is super-reliable on this particular test because its all proprietary and you know if it didn't work something is definitly wrong with the card [21:01] http://i.imgur.com/xSSAc83.jpg @w4l5t [21:01] maxcell_, I know, but it sucks to be dependent on Windows just to test this [21:01] :-/ [21:01] w4l5t: here is the new one http://pastebin.com/9h3GKKj9 [21:02] zteam, so learn more about your card and look if there is any proprietary driver for linux [21:02] blastedt, do u know the name of the daemon? [21:02] Not a clue. I've never had any success learning anything about linux below terminal level [21:02] blastedt, but isnt it displayed? [21:03] no, that's the only message i get w4l5t [21:03] ubuntu-mate, you didnt run "ls -a /dev >output.txt" [21:03] zteam, also look at google if anybody have the same issue using the same sound card as yours [21:03] maxcell_, I already tried this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS [21:03] blastedt, do u get that message every time you boot? [21:04] this is what I tyoed ls -a /dev >output.txt [21:04] w4l5t: when I boot normally without quiet it just freezes at a random point. I have to boot upstart and run dmesg to get anything about daemons [21:04] typed* [21:05] I'm going to reboot into normal then upstart and see if its the same [21:05] ubuntu-mate, sorry, im an idiot, run "ls -alh --color=auto >output.txt" [21:05] maxcell_, anoother option would be this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting#Glitches.2C_skips_or_crackling [21:07] zteam, do that [21:07] zteam, you already try it? [21:07] w4l5t: http://pastebin.com/a8ABEre6 [21:07] maxcell_, only partly [21:08] http://i.imgur.com/gVW2plM.jpg @w4l5t this is when i dont do anything in upstart before dmesg, same errors but a little more shown at the top [21:08] maxcell_, not sure if I'm supposed to try all four steps [21:08] at once [21:08] ubuntu-mate, sorry, im an idiot, run "ls -alh --color=auto /dev >output.txt" [21:08] theres no error message if i boot into recovery or normally. it just doesn't boot. [21:08] zteam, try to do this, kill the pulseaudio service and open a music program and go to the configs and mark him to use Alsa instead of Pulseaudio and put some music to see if it works properly, if does, the pulseaudio is causing you trouble right/ [21:09] blastedt, theres a channel #systemd, go there and ask [21:10] w4l5t:http://pastebin.com/DzrM4qgN [21:10] blastedt, systemd-analize blame [21:10] maxcell_, earlier then I tried the aproach in the arch wiki the clicking sounds continued even after I killed of pulseaudio server [21:11] ubuntu-mate, try "sudo blkid /dev/sda" [21:12] zteam, the second step says something about IOMMU [21:12] zteam, your card use that technology? [21:12] `tim@tim:~$ systemd-analyze blame \n Failed to parse reply: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1` @maxcell_ [21:13] Thanks for the help @w4l5t [21:13] blastedt, anytime i can, i will try [21:13] never saw this before [21:13] @maxcell_ looks like whatever dispatches processes is broke as shit [21:14] @maxcell_ im just going to install another distro and hope it doesnt break i guess, ubuntu clearly doesnt agree with this netbook. thanks anyways [21:14] what terminal is used in unity ? [21:14] tilda [21:14] blastedt, the blame command should point you to exactly service that are not loading or something [21:14] gebruiker gnome-terminal [21:14] when I do df -h, how do I hade like /devsham, /run/lock and so on? [21:14] i use tilda [21:14] hide* [21:14] ok [21:15] hi [21:15] slaffe, 'man df' [21:15] slaffe define 'and so on' [21:15] my nautilus is stuck opening [21:15] slaffe, just include/exclude fs types [21:15] ronaldsmazitis, isntall pcmanfm [21:16] ya I want to hide what I do not want to so. /sys/fs/cgroup /run /run/user1000 /run/cgmanager/fs for instance [21:16] see* [21:16] w4l5t now what [21:16] slaffe, it's all in the manual page. [21:16] print the output [21:17] cba to read through that right now, that is why I threw out the question [21:17] PTUUID="6b38cf61" PTTYP="dos" [21:18] ubuntu-mate, try "sudo blkid /dev/sdb" [21:18] what distro is best for a netbook with a minimum of effort? i want to be able to plug+play the thing and just set up the ides i use on it, im going to use it for coding [21:18] slaffe, it's one page [21:18] blastedt, Xubuntu is pretty good. [21:18] did that [21:18] isn't that just ubuntu with a different window manager lordcirth? this thing cant run ubuntu [21:18] no, u did "sudo blkid /dev/sda" [21:18] or it can but i have to reinstall it every time i reboot the computer [21:19] blastedt, yes. how much RAM do you have? [21:19] 2gb [21:19] maxcell_, I don't know, google doesn't tell me a thing about so probably not [21:19] blastedt, that's too little for Ubuntu, but Xubuntu will be fine [21:19] yes i did lol [21:19] thanks cirth ill check it out [21:19] hopefully it lasts more than one reboot [21:19] blastedt, DE/WM is the main user of RAM at idle. [21:19] zteam, yeah, i gess you should do and undo the steps in arch page to see if anything works [21:20] blastedt, what do you mean you had to reinstall? [21:20] ive installed ubuntu on this netbook three times in the past 24 hours [21:20] if i reboot the computer after the first boot it doesnt boot again [21:20] different things happen every time it's exciting [21:20] oh, also, ubuntu crashes my desktop headset which is exciting because they arent connected in any way [21:21] w4l5t: got to go. Will have to finish later thanks [21:21] blastedt, sounds like you have hardware probles [21:21] k, ubuntu-mate [21:21] problems* [21:21] blastedt, run memtest from the installer, and once installed, check smartctl [21:21] @lordcirth: maybe. my parents didnt say they had any issues, and the ubuntu they had installed on there worked fine but i wanted it clean and to know root pw [21:22] lordcirth, what is smartctl [21:22] maxcell_, it's in smartmontools package, it checks SATA SMART data - hard drive health self-reporting [21:23] It checks hdd SMART data, not just for SATA devices. [21:23] cool [21:23] bekks, right, sorry [21:24] Hi [21:24] that makes sense because blastedt can run the ubuntu in LiveCD but the problem appears after he install so its worthy checking [21:24] corrupted iso? [21:24] I have a question, what does that mean : "ubuntu14 login: [ 3719.056088] xfs: module has bad taint, not creating trace events" ? [21:25] its smth filesystem related [21:25] the default theme in unity what is it called? [21:25] w4l5t: do you answet to me? [21:25] yes [21:25] blastedt, I yes, I forgot, first, run the installer's selfcheck [21:25] eszett: Nothing really important. Do you experience problems with your filesystems? [21:26] and its also about a kernel module [21:26] w4l5t & bekks: it is the error i get in my VirtualBox [21:26] doesn't taint normally refer to anti-debugging licenses? [21:26] (from loading up a vagrant configuration) [21:26] i dont use virtualbox [21:26] @maxwell_ running memtest from grub [21:27] eszett: thats no error at all. [21:27] @maxwell_ i can run livecd and also i can boot once or twice after installing [21:27] eszett: thats a plain dmesg entry. [21:27] bekks: ah good to know [21:27] eszett: Can you pastebin "VBoxManage showvminfo ..." please and provide the URL please? [21:28] let me see, yes [21:28] blastedt, do the hdd test that the guys are telling you [21:28] blastedt, mayb the problem is the HDD itself, some HDDs can't handle to much formats and just get bad clocks [21:29] blocks* [21:30] hope not but, it can happens, use to happen to me everytime with a samsung HD, than i buy a Western Digital and never get problem [21:30] hdds must be defragmented even when ext4fs [21:31] w4l5t, how you defrag an HD in ext4? [21:31] `apropos defrag` [21:32] maxcell_: you dont need to do that. [21:32] yeah, someone created that defrag tool just because he head no life [21:32] w4l5t: the need of defragmentation is basically an urban legend on non-windows filesystems. [21:32] *had [21:33] as i already said, linux programmers have no life and create defrag tools [21:33] w4l5t: those tools exist but they arent widely used. For good reasons. [21:33] They arent needed. [21:33] @lordcirth: how do i get smartmontools without internet? is there a way to add net to upstart? [21:34] blastedt, why don't you have internet? [21:34] how many people use dd? [21:34] lordcirth: upstart is the only boot i have and it apparently doesnt start the wifi service [21:34] w4l5t, I use it all the time [21:34] w4l5t: A lot of people. [21:34] guys [21:34] sudo apt-get install smartmontools in upstart produces an error about connecting to the pack manager servers [21:34] how many people use zsh? [21:34] what is the name of the default theme of unity? [21:34] w4l5t, this is sounding like a survey [21:35] w4l5t: how does taking polls solve your ubuntu support issues? [21:35] how many people use xclip? [21:35] blastedt, can you ping google? [21:35] w4l5t, polls are off-topic here [21:35] Hi I have installed ubuntu back then on a different machine. I get this Warning http://paste.ubuntu.com/23262029/ .. what should I do? [21:35] ok, sorry [21:36] how do I get my ubuntu supported til 2019 pls? why is mine already EOL? I don't get it [21:37] Abe_: Which Ubuntu are you using? [21:37] 14.04 [21:37] 14.04 kernel 3.19 [21:37] Abe_: 14.04 is supported, until 2019. Just install updates as regular. [21:38] Abe_: Terminal way ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo apt full-upgrade ' should set you up with the latest X stack . [21:38] bekks, as his paste says, he's getting the Hardware Enablement Stack warning [21:38] lordcirth: So the way to go is opening up the URL presented in the error message ;) [21:39] lordcirth: ill let you know when memtest is finished [21:39] I ask in a forum they told me I need to reinstall or something and gave me this... https://media-cdn.ubuntu-de.org/wiki/attachments/54/01/14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support_Schedule.png and that my version is EOL [21:40] Abe_: Just open http://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL [21:40] buy guys [21:40] how do I completely reset my unity? [21:40] gtg [21:40] blastedt, note that memtest does not 'finish' as such, it generally runs until you stop it. 20,30 min should be good. [21:40] is this true. you guys say something completely different [21:40] Abe_: The message tells you to open that link, just do it. [21:41] bekks, could be a virus [21:41] bekks, :~ [21:41] Ok I did that what do I see here now [21:41] maxcell_: what could be a virus? [21:41] bekks, old jjoke [21:41] Abe_: Read the content of the page. [21:42] Abe_: When an Ubuntu version is called LTS, it is supported for five years. The version number means year.month, so Ubuntu 14.04LTS means it was released in April 2014 and will be supported five years, ergo until April 2019 [21:42] lordcirth: i thought "pass 46%" was a progress bar [21:42] jo-erlend: And still, his installe HWE is outdated. [21:42] blastedt, yeah, but it will keep doing passes, usually [21:42] jo-erlend: And we're on a good way to solve that, already ;) [21:42] ic, will it say if it finds errors or do i need to cat and grep into a log file later [21:43] bekks: sorry, I'll stop interrupting. :) [21:44] whats the best cloud hosting i can get with 10usd/month? [21:44] blastedt, it should already be showing 0 errors yet on the screen [21:44] Choups, that's off-topic here. [21:44] oh [21:44] where can i ask this then? [21:45] yes I thought all would be supported til 2019. but why did I get this HWE Stack EOL Date warning. it tells me this on the page...We encourage all HWE Stack users on Ubuntu 14.04 to update to the final Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial HWE Stack or fully upgrade to the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS release [21:45] Abe_: Yes. And the page even tells you how to do it. === lunagirl is now known as tanja [21:46] Update to the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial HWE Stack (version 4.4 kernel) [21:46] Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [21:46] Fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS [21:46] lordcirth where can i ask this? [21:46] Choups, no idea. [21:47] Abe_: Please actually read the content, not just the headlines. [21:47] I just wanna keep my version. there is something nobody told me about when I installed this version of ubuntu [21:47] I am. I'm trying to avoid upgrading to 16.04 [21:48] HI! I cannot get ubuntu to boot on my mac mini from CD or Usb. Any suggestions are very appreciated. [21:48] Abe_: So please read the ONE sentence in the "Install Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial HWE Stack" section. [21:49] ok I need to run hwe-support-status and follow instructions [21:49] Abe_: Correct. [21:51] bekks: I can't do it right now. I'm not sitting on this Pc right now that is affected. but after all this my Pc will be supported until 2019 again? my Pc with kernel 3.13 this never popped up. I'm sorry I've never heard about this [21:51] Abe_: Yes. [21:52] ok thx a lot === NameNick is now known as Guest19588 [21:57] @lordcirth: unknown host google.com [21:57] @lordcirth: pinging 8.8.8.8 gives network is unreachable [21:57] so wont be able to install the package from upstart [21:57] blastedt, ok. So, what does your wifi menu show? [21:58] blastedt, also, did you verify the install media? [21:58] @lordcirth: no wifi menu, upstart has only terminal, did not verify install media [21:59] @lordcirth: gonna just try installing xubuntu and seeing if that works [21:59] blastedt, sure [21:59] all my work is on github so im fine to just reinstall [22:00] the font "ubuntu regular" is present in my system but the font " ubuntu "is not [22:08] gebruiker: what does [22:08] fc-list ubuntu [22:08] say? [22:12] jatt, a sec my machine is real slow [22:12] Hi, I dd'd a corrupted usb to an isofile with ddrescue, then I tried to reestablish a partition table on the isofile with testdisk . . everything seemed to go okay. It apparently wrote a 'fat32' primary partition onto the isofile and told me to restart [22:12] I have restarted now, but I can't seem to mount the iso file [22:13] AEL-H: because you cannot magically create an iso image from a raw disk image. [22:13] AEL-H: just putting some file extension is meaningless. [22:14] jatt, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23262253/ [22:14] bekks: So how should I proceed? [22:15] AEL-H: mount the raw disk image file. [22:16] AEL-H: Ah, I just read you messed up the image. So create a new image. [22:20] how many GB does the default install take? [22:21] can anyone see any glaring mistakes in this chef recipe for installing redis http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23262269/ [22:21] on ubuntu [22:21] gebruiker: that's the same I get I think there are no other additional ubuntu fonts [22:22] it works just wondering if its has the correct configuration as security taken into account [22:23] jatt, so should I try to regenerate ? fc-cache or reboot / logout login [22:23] bekks: I found out the problem, I just needed to skip a few sectors at the start of the image [22:25] gebruiker: rebooting will not regenerate any cache or fix that issue ;) [22:26] bekks, lol, bad windows habbit .. I do have ubuntu regular but no ubuntu ... so odd [22:26] gebruiker: And which exact problems is caused at that point? [22:27] bekks, there is no font named ubuntu [22:27] gebruiker: And which exact problems is caused at that point? [22:27] ubuntu-regular = ubuntu font. [22:28] OerHeks, the odd thing is that a lot of screenshots on images.google depic the "ubuntu" font [22:28] Hi, I have a laptop that has an ultrabay for a second battery (besides built-in), and my system sees two batteries, but it only shows the status and id of the internal and doesn't recognize the state or id of the bay one, even though it sees that it is present. [22:28] How can I get the system to correctly recognize and use the ultrabay battery? [22:38] wolftune, does it show up with: dmidecode -t 22 >> https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-obtain-a-laptop-battery-information-and-charging-state-on-linux [22:43] OerHeks: yes, it shows up. one says "front" the other says "rear" the front has full details, the rear does show the model number now, but capacity and voltage are unknown [22:44] oke, install 'acpi' and see with acpi -V >> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-laptop-battery-status-temperature/ [22:44] maybe more accurate === anonymous is now known as Guest23692 [22:45] OerHeks: [22:45] Battery 0: Unknown, 0% [22:45] Battery 1: Unknown, 99% [22:45] Battery 1: design capacity 1879 mAh, last full capacity 1694 mAh = 90% [22:45] Hello Guys [22:46] (via acpi) [22:46] quirt [22:47] At least more info, but nothing about 2nd adapter? [22:47] how would one create a process sandbox like AWS lambda? [22:48] how do i connect to wifi in xubuntu [22:49] ive added my connection to the network connections menu but 1. im not sure of the ssid and 2. im not sure of the encryption type, where can i autodiscover? [22:49] !xubuntu [22:49] Xubuntu is Ubuntu with !Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://xubuntu.org/ - To install the Xubuntu environment from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop^ » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !xubuntu-channels [22:49] OerHeks: 2nd adapter? I mean, yeah, there's no info about the charge of the second battery [22:50] wolftune, what is the vendor/machine type? [22:50] OerHeks: Thinkpad T450s [22:51] i know double battery is an option, but there must be more users facing the same question [22:51] searches I've done seem to indicate some people who just have things working, no issues per se. *Maybe* it's the battery itself and I should try a new battery, but I doubt it [22:52] switch the batteries around if you can [22:52] I tried to see what would happen if I let the battery on the recognized one go to zero, and the machine did go off rather than continue on the other batter as I'd hope [22:52] kk4ewt: one is in a bay, the other is built-in. [22:52] I can't swap them around [22:52] make sure in the bios it knows that the bay is a battery [22:53] kk4ewt: it's a laptop specifically designed with a battery-bay, a dual-battery setup. It's not a bay for whatever [22:55] wolftune, still check the bios [22:55] why is unix so terrible? [22:55] operating systems, usually, they like. operate [22:56] blastedt, mine operates just fine, thanks. [22:56] blastedt, ask AT&T [22:56] blastedt, what's wrong now? [22:56] xubuntu doesn't have autodiscovery of wifi networks [22:56] onto mint [22:56] Yes it does [22:56] it doesnt for me at least [22:56] unless its hidden in another terminal command [22:56] i put my network settings into a new network and zero feedback [22:57] blastedt, perhaps you need some drivers for your wifi card or something? [22:57] blastedt: So are you using Mint? [22:57] no mint is the next one i'll install [22:57] right now im on xubuntu [22:58] blastedt, Does your wifi card show up? Is the hardware switched off? [22:58] it shows up in lspci but not in ip a [22:58] blastedt: so configure an IP for that interface. [22:58] blastedt: that doesnt happen magically. [22:59] like i said, i went to network connections and added a connection [22:59] bekks, if it doesn't show up at all, it's not up, not just unconfigured [22:59] lordcirth: so explain the difference between "not up" and "unconfigured" and the implications. [23:00] blastedt, you probably need drivers. What's the model? [23:00] lordcirth: if the interface show up on lspci, it is usable. [23:00] Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY rev 01 [23:00] Are those drivers on the install media? [23:00] blastedt: No. [23:00] !wifi | blastedt [23:00] blastedt: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:01] not supported [23:03] blastedt: where do you see that? [23:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsBroadcom [23:03] broadcom has a driver anyways [23:03] ill see if it works [23:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [23:03] when I add a new user to the system, the unity setup is not the default anymore, the fonts are different and collors too [23:03] Its supported pretty well.
