| mhall | I hit upon some very weird language when upgrading a 14.04.X server to 16.04.1 today. The postfix package said it wanted to change "This upgrade of postfix changes some default values in the configuration. As part of this upgrade, the following will be changed: (1) chrooted components will be changed from '-' to 'y' in master.cf.". But it didn't say enough for me to be able to make this change properly / | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall | safely. Does it mean replace every single '-' in the chroot column in master.cf with 'y' or only some of them? Extremely confusing. | 00:01 |

| chaospsychex | nacc, software updates for 12.04. there's alot of them showing in the update manager | 00:55 |

| chaospsychex | nacc, there's more than security updates showing. application updates, library updates, e.t.c. hundreds... | 00:56 |
| nacc | chaospsychex: other updates are also generally acceptable within a release, rarely will a version fully change. It will almost certian update kernel | 00:56 |

| lordcirth | pantato, what stops you? | 02:24 |
| mnathani | fdisk doesnt show sdb | 02:24 |
| mnathani | at all | 02:24 |
| hackzor | lordchirth can someobe tell me whats going on | 02:25 |
| hackzor | someone* | 02:25 |
| Bashing-om | mnathani: Then that suggest there is no file system on the device . Does bios see the device ? | 02:25 |
| pantato | lordcirth: well i tried opening it with vi and it doesn't even let me go into insert mode then i tried with leafpad and it makes me overwrite the file then gives me the error "can't open file to write" | 02:25 |
| lordcirth | pantato, did you run vi as root? | 02:26 |
| pantato | lordcirth: yes | 02:27 |

| n-iCe | Hello, anyone using a ssd with linux? | 02:29 |
| pantato | lordcirth: sec | 02:30 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, yes, why? | 02:30 |
| pantato | lordcirth: looks like i did make the changes to the file but my lubuntu is still not booting | 02:30 |
| lordcirth | pantato, did you break any other files, maybe? | 02:31 |
| n-iCe | lordcirth: awesome! what distro | 02:31 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, many. Kubuntu 16.04 at the moment. Did you have a question about it? | 02:31 |
| pantato | lordcirth: that was the only file i messed with manually | 02:32 |
| n-iCe | lordcirth: sure, just ssd or a sata drive too? | 02:32 |
| pantato | i cant get into fking recovery mode | 02:32 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, are you asking survey questions? | 02:32 |
| n-iCe | lordcirth: is it difficult to answer? | 02:33 |
| pantato | guess ill reinstall. ugh | 02:33 |
| n-iCe | I just bought a new laptop with a ssd and a hd, wanna know the best configurations for a linux disto in the ssd | 02:33 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, no. This is the Ubuntu support channel, surveys are off-topic | 02:33 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, see, that's a real support question | 02:33 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, how big is the SSD? | 02:33 |
| n-iCe | I keep reaing home boot root to ssd and hdd home | 02:33 |
| n-iCe | 230GB | 02:34 |
| n-iCe | reading* | 02:34 |
| lordcirth | Depends. /home on the HDD works well. Or, you could put / and /home on the SSD and have a seperate data dir, which I do. That would be slightly more complex. | 02:34 |
| Bashing-om | n-iCe: I say again : sharing /boot is more complex and generally not a good idea, especially as Ubuntu defaults to using no separate boot partition. A separate /boot is something of an anachronism. | 02:35 |
| lordcirth | Bashing-om, I don't think he mentioned sharing /boot. | 02:35 |
| Jumboo | hi, sorry, what shoud I do to find a russan help? | 02:35 |
| lordcirth | But yes, a separate /boot is not normally needed | 02:35 |

| lordcirth | ah | 02:37 |
| n-iCe | Bashing-om, lordcirth http://paste.ubuntu.com/23287229/ | 02:37 |
| pantato | lordcirth: about to reinstall unless you have any other suggestions | 02:38 |
| n-iCe | I reinstalled Bashing-om, but, I keep reading, I should use the hdd to var and swap and home | 02:38 |
| lordcirth | n-iCe, you dont want a separate /var | 02:38 |
| lordcirth | at most you want /, /home, and swap | 02:39 |
| n-iCe | I don't use swap. | 02:39 |
| orlock | n-iCe: If you have a rotating disk, you might want to give yourself 4G of swap on that - but you can always add it on the fly anyway | 02:40 |
| Bashing-om | nils_: with 12 Gigs of ram . swap will not be needed, agreed . As to my example of my system with a separate /var . I have good reason to do so . But that is a very unlikely need on your part . | 02:41 |
| pantato | lordcirth: my concern is that i know of no other way to adjust my mouse polling rate. This has worked before on 14.04 but it seemed to break my 16.04 | 02:42 |

| SynfulAck | Is there a quick way to getting .wmv files working in vlc player? seems to be some sort of drm issue when converting with ffmpeg or vlc | 03:23 |
| Ben64 | SynfulAck: try playing with mplayer2 | 03:26 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : not that I know of, havent really done things with .wmv but heres how you can do it i think. IF you want to do it with VLC | 03:27 |
| Eli-5dce | Launch VLC Player and select the “Streaming/Exporting Wizard…” from its File menu. Click the “Choose…” button and select your .wmv file. Tick “Transcode video” and select the “H.264” codec and 1024 kb/s. Tick “Transcode audio” and select the “MPEG 4 Audio” codec and 192 kb/s. | 03:27 |
| SynfulAck | I think i tried that and the instructions dont follow with the UI, unless i missed sumin. | 03:28 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : umm | 03:29 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : have you tried gnome media player. If VLC doesn't let you give it a try | 03:29 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : i'm trying my best to gather more information to help you | 03:29 |
| SynfulAck | Eli-5dce, dont c that software installed, dont even see it in the software | 03:30 |
| Ben64 | SynfulAck: try playing with mplayer2 | 03:30 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck: that works. Or you also can try dragonplayer it might work too | 03:31 |
| SynfulAck | I was going to try mplayer2, just lookn if they have an .rpm | 03:31 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : what os are you using? | 03:32 |
| Ben64 | SynfulAck: you shouldn't be looking for an rpm | 03:32 |
| SynfulAck | i want it on an rpm machine | 03:32 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck : because if you have a os that runs off of rpm and not deb. you need to have dragon player | 03:33 |
| Ben64 | SynfulAck: then you're in the wrong channel, this is for Ubuntu support only | 03:33 |
| SynfulAck | yeah but rpm guys are preteens | 03:34 |
| pantato | Ok, so I'm able to adjust my mouse's polling rate with the commands sudo modprobe -r usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid mousepoll=2 , then unplugging my mouse and plugging it back it. However, if I make the necessary edits to /etc/modules, then reboot, the polling rate does not adjust upon boot. I have to run those commands every time to change my polling rate. This worked in 14.04 before and I'm using 16.04 now. | 03:34 |
| pantato | Is there anything different about module adjustments in 16.04? | 03:34 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck: if you are using a rpm machine use dragonplayer. If you are using a deb use gnomeplayer or mplayer2 | 03:35 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck: are you using Fedora or OpenSuse or what? if you use suse than it comes with dragon player. Fedora it is easy to manually install | 03:37 |
| SynfulAck | Fedora like a boss. | 03:38 |
| Eli-5dce | SynfulAck: but if you want to make it easier just use ubuntu. it has a easy to use software center. full apt-get support and easy custom prefs. | 03:38 |
| Eli-5dce | If you like Fedora. Dual Boot it | 03:38 |
| dr4c4n | hi there, I have a problem booting the new ubuntu beta 2 (16.10) on my laptop, I get it installed, but after rebooting I get to the login, enter my password and the system just freezes, I can still see my mouse cursor and the grey background. I have been told to come here, and ask how to collect more information for filing a bug report for it, as I would like to contribute what's happening on my system. | 03:40 |
| Eli-5dce | I have OSX 10.9, Ubuntu 14.04, Fedora 25, OpenSuse Leap and Android. All of my stuff on one hdd. | 03:40 |
| dr4c4n | I'm coming back here from #ubuntu+1 | 03:40 |
| Eli-5dce | dr4c4n: suggestion is, are you using gnome? | 03:41 |
| dr4c4n | Eli-5dce: yes | 03:41 |
| Eli-5dce | dr4c4n: what are the specs of the pc? | 03:42 |
| Eli-5dce | just make it brief | 03:42 |
| dr4c4n | it's an asus zenbook pro ux501vw, nvidia 960 | 03:42 |
| Eli-5dce | ok so it is a pc with a 960m. so 8gb ram. So it is supported. Have you ever tried 14.04? | 03:43 |
| dr4c4n | I'll be honest, I've tried 14.04, 15.10, 16.04 and now this beta version, both with and without proprietary nvidia drivers | 03:43 |
| Eli-5dce | dr4c4n: why would you need drivers? | 03:44 |
| Eli-5dce | it might be a problem with the nvidia driver | 03:44 |
| Eli-5dce | i have a 1080ti in my desktop and it had a unstable driver and froze my computer | 03:45 |
| dr4c4n | Eli-5dce: trying the installation where the checkmark asks you if you want to install additional software, but I've also tried the installation, without the additional software | 03:45 |
| Eli-5dce | dr4c4n: ok got it | 03:45 |
| dr4c4n | what I don't understand is the computer boots the installer fine, but when rebooting: freezes | 03:45 |
| dr4c4n | just after login | 03:46 |
| Eli-5dce | have you ever tried lxde? | 03:46 |
| dr4c4n | with 16.04 and the nvidia driver, I got a black screen | 03:46 |
| dr4c4n | I did try xfce, but not lxde | 03:46 |
| dr4c4n | and its' 16 gb of ram | 03:46 |
| Eli-5dce | ok | 03:46 |
| dr4c4n | I tried to follow a blog exactly | 03:47 |
| jasom | where does one get the i686-linux-gnu-gcc-5 that I see in build logs for Xenial on launchpad? | 03:47 |
| dr4c4n | https://marclewis.com/2016/04/25/installing-ubuntu-16-04-lts-on-asus-zenbook-ux501vw/ <-- this blog, but after installing the older kernel, I got the black screen on login also | 03:47 |
| Eli-5dce | 1. tip. never use a driver or ubuntu. 2nd. try lxde go to : www.lubuntu.net | 03:47 |
| Eli-5dce | on ubuntu* | 03:47 |
| dr4c4n | also 16.04 makes my fan go constantly on high speed. | 03:48 |
| Eli-5dce | i have one of the oldest gaming pcs in history and it has no driver and it works totally fine. | 03:48 |
| dr4c4n | 14.04 didn't have touchpad support | 03:48 |
| Eli-5dce | 14.04 doesn't have touchpad support? | 03:49 |
| dr4c4n | not for my laptop model, I can only use the touch screen to move the mouse around. | 03:49 |
| dr4c4n | at least the fan's weren't running on high all the time | 03:49 |
| Eli-5dce | wtf. | 03:49 |
| dr4c4n | with 16.04, fans on high, but touchpad works | 03:50 |
| dr4c4n | also tried disk encryption, and that hung right after asking for the disk encryption passphrase after it said cryptsetup successfully set up | 03:50 |
| dr4c4n | I've been 2 weeks trying to get this new laptop running smoothly, with no luck | 03:51 |
| dr4c4n | I'm hoping 16.10 final stable release might help | 03:51 |
| dr4c4n | oh, and of course I've also tested the installation media, and verified the checksums | 03:52 |
| Eli-5dce | ok 14.04. install lubuntu. See if you can get a touchpad support. Idk why one doesn't use a usb mouse. so 1. get a usb mouse 2. run 14.04 with no encryption and find a way to install something for all purpose touchpad support i might have found something | 03:52 |
| Eli-5dce | and try "pointing devices" it should let you set up your touchpad | 03:53 |
| Eli-5dce | i will brb | 03:54 |

| Chrisssy | Hi! Quick noob question: When installing different applications, should I make a user for each service running, or should I just have 1 not-root user and run all services through that? | 04:56 |
| Chrisssy | And if it's personal preference, is either one more resource efficient? | 04:56 |
| CodedPsychosis | Sup guys | 04:57 |
| OerHeks | Chrisssy, basicly, running a service as root user is questionable. | 04:57 |
| orlock | Eh | 04:58 |
| Chrisssy | Right. My question is more, should I make a user for each service I run, or should I just have one non root user and run all the processes as that? | 04:58 |
| orlock | Services generally dont run as any "user" account as such | 04:58 |
| orlock | Chrisssy: what do you mean by service? | 04:58 |
| Chrisssy | OpenVPN, database, etc | 04:58 |
| orlock | Chrisssy: Under linux, what would be called a windows "service" is a daemon | 04:58 |
| Chrisssy | Sorry if I'm misusing terms, still a little bit of a noob | 04:59 |
| orlock | and usually the init scripts will take care of that for you | 04:59 |
| Chrisssy | Ohh my bad, thanks :) | 04:59 |
| orlock | So they will run as the appropriate user | 04:59 |
| orlock | There wont be any "user" logged in when they start | 04:59 |
| orlock | Generally they start as root, which is required to listen on privledged ports | 04:59 |
| Chrisssy | Ok! Gotcha | 04:59 |
| orlock | and then drop those to what's required | 04:59 |
| Chrisssy | Makes sense :) Thank you! | 05:00 |
| JohnnyL | is there a way to make up a backup of a dvd onto a hard drive? | 05:00 |

| JohnnyL | OerHeks: okay. how? I can play a dvd now. | 05:01 |
| OerHeks | easy to find, https://askubuntu.com/questions/307688/how-to-create-iso-image-from-dvd/307698 | 05:02 |
| JohnnyL | great, hopefully that works. | 05:02 |
| JohnnyL | thanks. | 05:02 |
| OerHeks | JohnnyL, to see if the command is right, check with: eject /dev/sr0 # and dvdtray should open | 05:03 |
| OerHeks | then sudo cat /dev/sr0 > /home/$USER/gimmemydvdnow.iso | 05:04 |
| JohnnyL | yeah. looks good. i am using that as per the page. | 05:05 |

Debian images are made with isohybrid technology which enable you to just copy the image to the device and it works the same way as dd. IMHO, best way to go.

| kille | but those are bells and whistles and you said you're not intersted so. | 06:48 |
| tbnbuddha | OerHeks i heard about that. for that reason i changed the settings to legacy. but it is still no memtest there | 06:49 |
| OerHeks | everson, unity-tweak-tool is what you want, not ccsm | 06:49 |
| kille | apologies, i am used to doing that, will try and exercise some restraint. :D | 06:49 |
| OerHeks | tbnbuddha, no solution for memtest/uefi | 06:49 |
| alkisg | tbnbuddha: if your disk is uefi only, and you select legacy boot, how can it boot with legacy? It will either boot with uefi, or not at all. | 06:49 |
| everson | kille that was quick. workspaces sorted. cheers | 06:49 |
| OerHeks | additional download is worthless, as you need a desktop environment to work with. | 06:49 |

| tbnbuddha | but correct me if i say something wrong. i don't even know what legacy and uefi is. | 06:54 |
| alkisg | OerHeks: he wants to try with legacy | 06:54 |
| OerHeks | go try it, i don't mind. | 06:55 |
| alkisg | tbnbuddha: you're talking about a usb stick now, which can be legacy | 06:55 |
| tbnbuddha | mmh i read that thread you linked concerning uefi and memtest | 06:55 |
| alkisg | So no uefi involved, if you created it properly | 06:55 |
| tbnbuddha | does it depend on the bios settings or is it just a hardware question? | 06:55 |
| tbnbuddha | because in bios i switched forom uefi to legacy right now | 06:56 |
| alkisg | It depends on the firmware setting (uefi/bios), and on the disk format (gpt, mbr) and on the software (grub etc) | 06:56 |
| alkisg | So if you don't tell us how you created your stick, we can't answer | 06:56 |
| tbnbuddha | as i created the stick i was on uefi i think. should i recreate the stick now with legacy settings? | 06:57 |
| alkisg | Which tool did you use. | 06:57 |
| tbnbuddha | unetbootin | 06:57 |
| alkisg | Did you disable secure boot from your firmware? | 06:58 |

| alkisg | OerHeks: cool; any reason to prefer it over dd? | 07:04 |

| proxx_ | creationdate ? | 07:39 |
| ducasse | freddyb: dpkg -S /path/to/filename | 07:39 |
| freddyb | ducasse: thanks! | 07:40 |
| freddyb | proxx_: there were multiple dates, so I wanted to make double sure :) | 07:41 |
| kille | question...why is duckduckgo the default search in tor browser? | 07:41 |
| proxx_ | kille , because google does the opposite, collect as much as they can | 07:41 |
| proxx_ | kille have you ever been on the internet ? | 07:42 |
| kille | of coure, but i've been insanely trusting... and then i realise i shouldn't be | 07:42 |
| proxx_ | you will probably leak more about yourself through your browser than which source ip , but tor away | 07:43 |
| kille | isn't tor like a bittorrent client for the web? how will i leak more when using it? | 07:44 |
| kille | if i dont disclose anything, i should be ok or not? | 07:45 |
| OerHeks | If you believe TOR is safe, you are safe. | 07:45 |
| proxx_ | this is too far offtopic but basically its you who gets tracked through behaviour , specific fingerprint, accounts etc | 07:46 |
| thor_ | kille: you should use both search engines. Its not about what is right or wrong. Its just two very different engines. Duckduckgo also has the "bubble function" but thats limited to national filtering. Use google when you want results from "the bubble" you are in, and duckduckgo when you want it more unfiltered. To say that one is better than the other is just plain stupid. | 07:46 |
| proxx_ | just live a normal online life and if there is shit your are concerned about use something else for that | 07:47 |
| proxx_ | oh and google results are not what they used to be , who pays the most or what the most idiots search for instead of returning keywords, google is on its way out as a SE | 07:48 |
| freddyb | kille: the Tor project has great documentation, including why they choose a different search engine. their documents are a good read. | 07:48 |
| freddyb | kille: a browser discloses "things", not about you personally, but it makes you trackable, re-identifiable across the web. the Tor browser tries to defend against that. | 07:50 |
| proxx_ | which is likely pebcak | 07:51 |
| freddyb | hmmm, the old thinkpad.conf file in xorg.conf.d/ wasn't breaking the middle-button scrolling on my thinkpad...what else, what else? | 07:51 |
| freddyb | proxx_: tracking? nah, I wholeheartedly disagree. but I guess discussing here is too off-topic?! :) | 07:51 |
| proxx_ | yeah you r right , we will get modsmacked | 07:52 |
| kille | agree. just wanted to figure it out. maybe another channel some other time... | 07:53 |
| freddyb | there's a tor channel on freenode, I'm sure, kille | 07:54 |
| kille | anyway. cheers for now. | 07:54 |

| zerous | OerHeks, sorry | 08:19 |
| OerHeks | zerous, you might as well keep the problem here :-) | 08:19 |
| OerHeks | always run update, then upgrade, i am missing update in your story. | 08:20 |
| OerHeks | update = fresh lists | 08:20 |
| leeyaa | hi | 08:20 |
| leeyaa | i have a basic custom .deb package that i need to create a user during packaging | 08:20 |
| leeyaa | how to do that ? | 08:20 |
| zerous | OerHeks, this is what I get pastebin.com/LPUqm0aG | 08:21 |
| OerHeks | opensuse, trisquel, ubuntu, ugly mix of repos. | 08:21 |
| zerous | oh | 08:22 |
| zerous | what should I do ? | 08:22 |
| jnissen | Hey people. I am considering switching to Ubuntu, but I think the Unity interface is annoying. What trouble will I face if I go with Ubuntu Gnome? Fewer supported applications? More bugs? | 08:23 |
| ikonia | jnissen: its the same core product, so no less applictions, | 08:23 |
| cfhowlett | jnissen, switching the desktop environment is supersimple. you will not have the defualt unity plugins but you will have the same ubuntu programs and repositories avaiable. | 08:24 |
| zerous | OerHeks, but I don't seen any other repos in my sources.list | 08:24 |
| ikonia | jnissen: the user community is smaller, and the "custom" components, eg: the differences from unity will have a smaller development teams | 08:24 |
| OerHeks | zerous, i do not know what /how you added those repos, maybe they are in /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder?? i would do a fresh install, no frankenstein-ubuntu | 08:25 |
| Stanley00 | jnissen: what kind of annoying that you don't like about unity? | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | zerous, what other repos do you expect to see? | 08:26 |
| zerous | OerHeks, I remember adding certain ppas | 08:27 |
| zerous | I am thinking about removing them and trying to update | 08:27 |
| OerHeks | cfhowlett, see pastebin.com/LPUqm0aG | 08:27 |
| cfhowlett | !!! | 08:27 |
| cfhowlett | franken-buntu | 08:28 |
| ikonia | zerous: what will that do ? | 08:28 |
| ikonia | zerous: the packages will still be there after you remove the repos | 08:28 |
| zerous | ikonia, I see. Is there any way to purge the packages along with the ppas ? | 08:30 |
| zerous | I am really sorry if I am asking super dumb questions. | 08:30 |
| zerous | I am new to linux | 08:30 |
| OerHeks | good lesson not to mix distros. | 08:31 |
| OerHeks | = reinstall | 08:31 |
| zerous | OerHeks, alright. reinstall it is then. :) | 08:32 |
| ikonia | zerous: there is, but I wouldn't trust the state your machine appears to be in | 08:32 |
| zerous | oh | 08:32 |
| OerHeks | ikonia +1 | 08:32 |
| OerHeks | !ppapurge | 08:32 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 08:32 |
| OerHeks | this might not work in your situation. | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | zerous, no need to apologize | 08:33 |
| cfhowlett | you should be able to sudo apt-get purge <packagename>. then sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and ## before each ppa to comment it into silence. or you could delete them altogether. afterwards, sudo apt update | 08:33 |
| jnissen | ikonia, cfhowlett: Alright, it sounds like it's not much of a risk sticking with Gnome then | 08:34 |

| cfhowlett | Ramyo, sudo fdisk -l should list your partitions | 08:37 |
| GhostLyrics | ikonia: The vendor (avago/broadcom/lsi, whatever they currently are named) ships this thing called `storcli` - that is used to generate a summary of the devices (e.g. RAID healthy or not) | 08:38 |
| zerous | So I guess the rule of thumb is not mix repos of different distros | 08:38 |
| cfhowlett | zerous, indeed. rarely works as planned and usually breaks things. | 08:38 |

| Devnatu | oerherk thanks for your response, ill look in to the blacklisting i am to new to ubuntu so no idea how to do it, will have to do some research. | 10:41 |
| EriC^^ | tbnbuddha: it gives it out | 10:41 |
| OerHeks | there is an error in the pastebinit factoid | 10:41 |
| OerHeks | !pastebinit | 10:41 |
| ubottu | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 10:41 |
| fotang | I plugged in a fingerprint scanner/smart card reader combo device into a USB port, the light on the device didnt come on, and `lsusb' output included just one new entry (without a fullname): "Bus 002 Device 027: ID 06e3:0606". I then suspended the computer and resumed, upon which the light on device came on and lsusb correctly showed the full names of 2 devices (Bus 002 Device 033: ID 076b:a022 OmniKey AG CardMan Smart@Link; andFutronic Technology Co. Ltd. | 10:41 |
| fotang | FS81 Fingerprint Scanner Module). How can I make ubuntu to do what it did after suspend , so that the two devices are seen without me suspending and resuming the OS? | 10:41 |
| fotang | oh that was rather a mouthful | 10:42 |
| tbnbuddha | oh ok thx. maybe i had another connection problem while doing it | 10:42 |
| fotang | ubuntu 16.04 | 10:42 |
| OerHeks | <command> | pastebinit -b https://paste.ubuntu.com ( mind the https ) | 10:42 |

| Fedoration | Can I pull an active X window across X-over-ssh-tunnelling? Or can I *only* render the output locally if I launch the program that way? | 10:43 |
| we | is this a chat room? | 10:45 |
| fotang | we: yes | 10:45 |
| OerHeks | Fedoration, you need to enable X11 forwarding first, see thttp://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-from-ubuntu-machine | 10:46 |
| fotang | #linux | 10:46 |
| OerHeks | we, see the topic, ubuntu support irc channel | 10:47 |
| Fedoration | OerHeks: thanks. If forwarding is enabled in sshd config, does it *only* apply to launching new programs? Or can I bring an existing instance across the tunnel? That was my question. | 10:47 |
| we | who answered me? | 10:48 |
| teo_ | I tried fullscreen X11 tunneling over a fast local lan, but the results where very disappointing. It froze every two seconds, and on major updates it completely failed... | 10:49 |
| teo_ | I don' t think single window tunneling will be any better... | 10:50 |
| OerHeks | Fedoration, no, a new ssh connection can forward existing/running X11 fine | 10:50 |
| Fedoration | Awesome! How? I am SSHed into the remote machine, and launching an X program (such as x2, the text editor) gives me a new instance of that displayed locally. From "ps" I can see the PID of my remote instance of the program. How do I get it to redirect its X output over SSH? | 10:51 |
| th0r | Fedoration, just start the ssh session with the -X switch | 10:53 |
| OerHeks | Fedoration, ssh -X user@ip -p password | 10:53 |
| Vorap | Hey. I have a quick question. I've been looking around and I can't get a definitive answer. Can I run multiple screens on both my on-board graphics card and my dedicated graphics card and use the nvidia proprietary driver? Onborad is intel graphics and dedicated is an nvidia card. | 10:54 |
| OerHeks | or without password if you use keys | 10:54 |
| Fedoration | th0r: yes, I have logged into the remote system using the -X switch. When I start a NEW instance of a graphical program on the remote system it displays on the local system. My question still is how to get an *already running* instance of a graphical program on the remote system to *start displaying locally* over ssh. | 10:54 |
| Vorap | Since nouveau can't handle gaming | 10:54 |
| th0r | Fedoration, as far as I know, the only way is to restart the program from within the ssh session | 10:55 |
| Fedoration | th0r: Ahh :-( That would be annoying if that's required, as the whole point was I was trying to click "save" in a GUI where the physical console has gone unresponsive. | 10:55 |
| we | thanks ,OerHeks | 10:56 |
| Fedoration | [2016-10-07 10:50:33]<OerHeks> Fedoration, no, a new ssh connection can forward existing/running X11 fine <<<--- if OerHeks can tell me how to do it, that would be awesome. | 10:56 |

| dsnyders | HI all! I'm sorry if this is off topic, but can anyone connect to lirc.org? | 10:57 |

| OerHeks | oh, i was convinced that running x could be forwarded,.. | 10:57 |

| popey | india: well, step one is upgrade to a supported release. | 11:55 |
| ppf | you should upgrade to a supported version | 11:55 |
| popey | (or reinstall a supported release like 14.04 or 16.04) | 11:56 |
| Kartagis | ehlo | 11:56 |

| rootaccess | hi | 14:48 |
| MadPsy | arooni, why don't you check what the messages are.. might be a good start | 14:49 |
| rootaccess | anybody here? | 14:49 |
| arooni | so apparently the stuff there is all output from cron; so it looks like i need to redirect cron output to /dev/null ? | 14:49 |
| arooni | so its like * * * * * /command/ &>1 /dev/null ? | 14:49 |
| MadPsy | yes, either by making the script be silent or by redirecting its output to /dev/null and leaving only stderr outputting | 14:49 |
| arooni | something like that? | 14:49 |
| nacc | DK2: if it's just a postfix box, and 14.04.5 is supported for another few years, i don't thik you have strong motivation to upgrade | 14:50 |

| marsh | @strongjava you are fine. And yes 3 of them | 15:05 |
| proxx_ | @sector_0 you would have to benchmark but I dont see much reason why 16 would be slower, plus you have longer support for the fx drivers hence 'better' drivers | 15:06 |
| proxx_ | @sector_0 if ur gonna be gpu intensive I guess you wont be running anything like unity/gnome | 15:06 |

| electricmilk | How do I add an internet shortcut to my desktop in Lubunu? | 16:27 |
| electricmilk | I've tried going to Properties on the Firefox shortcut and going to "Command" and putting in the URL but it doesn't work. | 16:30 |
| electricmilk | I've also tried adding "firefox http://www.website.com" in the command portion of properties but it doesn't work. Even when I tell it to execute in the terminal. When I type this in the terminal it works though | 16:34 |
| markuman | Hi, I've problems compiling with libsqlite3 using gcc (tcc and clang works fine). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39917285/what-is-wrong-with-ubuntu-16-04-and-libsqlite3 and I don't see why, because /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ is included LIBRARY_PATH (see verbose output of gcc). and suggestions? | 16:36 |
| electricmilk | I guess I'll just create a bash file with "firefox http://www.website.com" on the desktop. Surprising how difficult it is to add a internet shortcut to the desktop in Lubuntu. Ugh | 16:36 |
| trism | markuman: gcc -lsqlite3 s.c; should be: gcc s.c -lsqlite3; | 16:40 |
| trism | markuman: symbols are referenced in the order they are given on the command line | 16:40 |
| markuman | trism: huh that works | 16:41 |
| markuman | trism: will you solve it/comment it? | 16:41 |
| sdcardlinux | Hello | 16:43 |
| markuman | trism: but the order is only important when using gcc? because tcc and clang seems not interested in the order. | 16:43 |
| sdcardlinux | Are microsdcards fast enought to inatall ubuntu on it? | 16:43 |
| sdcardlinux | Enough | 16:43 |
| de-facto | yes but what if the fs always writes to the same cells? | 16:44 |
| markuman | sdcardlinux: depends on the class of the sdcard. in general: yes. but on some ubuntu/os can be slow | 16:44 |
| sdcardlinux | Markuman class 10 | 16:44 |
| sdcardlinux | 32GB | 16:44 |
| sdcardlinux | Im installing ubuntu but the installation ia not the fastest i dont know why | 16:45 |
| de-facto | maybe a special fs can spread out writes on the sdcard (so avoiding writing to same blocks)? | 16:45 |
| de-facto | i think sdcards doent implement wear leveling, but might be wrong | 16:45 |
| sdcardlinux | De-facto is thst for me? | 16:45 |
| sdcardlinux | That | 16:45 |
| de-facto | yes | 16:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so, installing 16.04.1 and i'm at the "Where are you?" screen. is this just for tzinfo or does anything else get set here? | 16:45 |
| linocisco | hi all | 16:45 |
| sdcardlinux | Oh, what are you trying to tell me :D | 16:45 |
| linocisco | i can't find 64bit driver for Konica Minolta Page Pro 1390 MF B/W Laser All in one Laser Printer. what do I do? | 16:45 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i'm not in any particular timezone, would like to set it to utc... | 16:46 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | do i just pick london? there's no "n/a" or anything? :P | 16:46 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | tried setting to mcmurdo and installed crapped out. | 16:46 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | s/led/ler/ | 16:46 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | i can always fix my tz stuff later, so i'm mostly just curious if this step in the installer does anything else apart from setting tz. | 16:47 |
| trism | markuman: /lastlog markuman 10 | 16:47 |
| sdcardlinux | De-facto? | 16:47 |
| de-facto | sdcardlinux im trying to tell you that flash memory has the problem of wearing out (flash cells leak charge and loose their state after a limited amount of writes). So if the filesystem writes always to the same cell, it might be damaged locally. ssd's have smart controllers spreading writes over all flash cells, but i dont think sdcards do that (might be wrong though). so you might want to investigate that and/or use a special filesystem | 16:47 |
| de-facto | for flash on it | 16:47 |
| sdcardlinux | I see | 16:48 |
| sdcardlinux | So you are telling methat the memory can get full really quick? | 16:48 |
| trism | markuman: I don't know about tcc and clang that's how gcc resolves symbols | 16:48 |
| de-facto | nope im telling you that your data can get corrupted if sdcards dont implement wear leveling in hardware or the fs takes care of spreading writes evenly on the address space of the device | 16:49 |
| sdcardlinux | I see | 16:50 |
| cscf | de-facto, sdcardlinux I looked it up, SD cards do wear leveling. Still don't write too much, though. | 16:51 |
| sdcardlinux | In installing it | 16:52 |
| de-facto | cscf interessting, do you have a source? | 16:52 |
| cscf | de-facto, all the results on DuckDuckgo? http://superuser.com/questions/17350/whats-the-life-expectancy-of-an-sd-card | 16:52 |
| cscf | Your total writes will still be an issue, though. | 16:53 |
| lifted | Any reason I should NOT upgrade my Development machine to 16.04? | 16:54 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | are you allergic to systemd? | 16:54 |
| * NoImNotNineVolt has no idea if systemd is default init on 16.04 | 16:54 | |
| cscf | It is | 16:55 |
| de-facto | cscf nice, didnt know that before (always thought that sophisticated wear leveling would not fit in those tiny cards) | 16:55 |
| teenis | isn't systemd the default init in 15.04 too? | 16:55 |
| lifted | Systemd fucking blows. | 16:55 |
| lifted | sorry for language omg | 16:55 |
| lifted | systemd just gets me so excited in a bad way | 16:56 |
| cscf | de-facto, afaik it's "increment number of writes to each block as written, if writes > x, use overprovisioned space" | 16:56 |
| cscf | teenis, it is | 16:56 |
| lifted | have you SEEN the PID 1 issues? | 16:56 |
| cscf | Nope. | 16:56 |
| cscf | I have seen 0 issues with systemd myself in any distro. | 16:56 |
| sdcardlinux | Installation almost done | 16:56 |
| sdcardlinux | Ia there a way to know the writing speed? | 16:56 |
| lifted | http://ewontfix.com/14/ | 16:56 |
| lifted | ^ a MUST read | 16:56 |
| lifted | and if u want more info -> http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html | 16:57 |

| mike_papa | org.freedesktop.UPower.Device.Refresh() on /org/freedesktop.UPower/devices/ups/hiddev3 never shows up in "busctl monitor org.freedesktop.UPower". On other device (mouse) it works fine. What chould be the reason? | 16:57 |
| mike_papa | upower never updates ups status. No Changed() signal is sent. | 16:58 |
| de-facto | cscf in your opinion would it be beneficial to use something like JFFS2 on sdcards? | 17:02 |
| cscf | de-facto, I have not tried either JFFS, I don't know. However, you might want to make use of tmpfs for whatever you can. | 17:03 |
| de-facto | yeah im using ssd and /tmp on ramdisk | 17:04 |

| joe___ | Hi. Is any simple but shure way to install qtox on ubuntu 16.04?? | 18:11 |
| cannotMakeBlueTo | ZeekHuge: An other BT keyboard was detected and is running on ubuntu mate. Here, the case is of a special mouse, Microsoft Designer Mouse, i've google'd and it is a "low energy mouse", people have problems with the firmware, if it is detected, than it gets lost after some time, and the solution in the net did not work for me. My question is very special, a speculation: In the panel there is a BT sign, looks like ^^ or so (rotated). All the time | 18:11 |
| cannotMakeBlueTo | i could not see the mouse. But at some point, short after installing gnome BT packages i saw there something like ^^*, where the * was a lock added. I could use the mouse in this time. After an hour, that lock disappeared and the mouse was no longer detected in between. (Many rebooots...) | 18:11 |
| vfw | starsailor: The "Something else" option should take you to a screen that allows for manual partitioning. | 18:11 |
| starsailor | vfw: That is what's curious; in the installer, "Something else" also leads to a grayed-out button. | 18:11 |
| starsailor | I'll try wiping the HDD first. | 18:12 |
| starsailor | With the OS loaded in live mode. | 18:12 |
| glitchd | starsailor, that will without a doubt work | 18:12 |
| starsailor | I hope so! | 18:12 |
| vfw | starsailor: Yes, that should do the trick. | 18:12 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | cscf: indeed, utc is not in the list. and neither is gmt. it's a list of places, not timezones. | 18:12 |
| glitchd | starsailor, but you do understand that your deleting windows, right? | 18:12 |
| starsailor | glitchd: ....uh, yes? You also saw I had "Delete Windows" in the original Installer. | 18:13 |
| starsailor | I don't want Windows. :-) | 18:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | that's why i'm wary of putting in a location, as i'm not sure what other settings this impacts besides tz | 18:13 |
| vfw | starsailor: There may also be a problem with the hard drive. You can use smart tools to see | 18:13 |
| starsailor | vfw: I checked SMART data before, it seems OK. | 18:13 |
| starsailor | No errors, reallocated sectors, etc. | 18:13 |
| vfw | starsailor: Ok, good. | 18:13 |
| starsailor | Temperature is fine. | 18:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | presumably it will influence what keymap is suggested, etc., but it's not clear what else. | 18:13 |
| glitchd | it sounds more like either to many primary partitions already, or misconfigured options in the installer | 18:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | the installer is too 'friendly' :\ | 18:14 |
| starsailor | glitchd: Hm, what kind of misconfigured options? | 18:14 |
| cscf | NoImNotNineVolt, As far as I know, it won't do anything besides change the suggested keymap and Locale. | 18:14 |
| kappa1 | why is this command not working when I execute it inside a script "echo "1" | tee $PATH/fan1_manual | 18:14 |
| kappa1 | " | 18:14 |
| glitchd | starsailor, like not selecting the root partition | 18:14 |
| kappa1 | fankick.sh: line 5: tee: command not found | 18:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | so i guess i'll choose usa and then adjust my tz to utc after? | 18:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | really hate to be leaking localization information to my system config though | 18:15 |
| starsailor | glitchd: But where would that option even show? I didn't see any option for something like that. | 18:15 |
| starsailor | glitchd: That's something I saw for example during a manual install of CentOS 7 I had to do. | 18:15 |
| lesshaste | I am trying to use plex but I get this error on boot | 18:15 |
| glitchd | starsailor, sorry i meant mount point | 18:15 |
| lesshaste | [ 4.893199] systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service:11] Invalid escape sequences in line, correcting: "/bin/sh -c 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/plexmediaserver /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server'" | 18:15 |
| starsailor | glitchd: Right, right -- I didn't see that anywhere. | 18:15 |
| lesshaste | has anyone seen this? | 18:15 |
| starsailor | Up to that point. | 18:15 |
| glitchd | starsailor, did u see a screen like this? http://i.stack.imgur.com/5JkQX.png | 18:16 |
| starsailor | glitchd: Nope, nothing like that. That's a partition manager/ | 18:16 |
| starsailor | Didn't see it. | 18:16 |
| glitchd | starsailor, that should be the screen thats presented when you select the something else option | 18:17 |
| starsailor | glitchd: But I already said it's grayed out. -_- | 18:17 |
| starsailor | I told you, I can't access it. | 18:17 |
| vfw | lesshaste: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/207877/media-not-found-error-after-update | 18:17 |
| glitchd | starsailor, can you boot a live session? | 18:18 |
| starsailor | glitchd: Yep, in it right now. Loading GParted GUI as we speak. | 18:18 |
| glitchd | starsailor, do you care about any of the data on the hd? | 18:19 |
| ioria | starsailor, can you open a terminal ? install pastebinit and sudo parted -l | pastebinit | 18:19 |
| starsailor | glitchd: not really. ioria: OK, hold on. | 18:19 |
| pavlos | kappa1, $PATH resolves to many paths which is not the proper way to write 1 to fan_manual | 18:19 |
| kappa1 | ohhhhh right | 18:19 |
| ioria | starsailor, close the installer | 18:19 |
| kappa1 | pavlos, what would be that proper way? | 18:19 |
| starsailor | ioria: It is. | 18:19 |
| pavlos | kappa1, do you know the full path of fan_manual? | 18:20 |
| effectnet | hello in here | 18:20 |
| ioria | starsailor, open a terminal | 18:20 |
| glitchd | starsailor, i would suggest then to just nuke the hd and create new partitions for data and swap and try your install again | 18:20 |
| joe___ | Hi. Is any simple but shure way to install qtox on ubuntu 16.04?? | 18:21 |
| starsailor | ioria: Opened. | 18:21 |
| ioria | starsailor, install pastebinit and sudo parted -l | pastebinit | 18:21 |
| starsailor | ioria: *nod*, OK, hold on. | 18:21 |
| vfw | glitchd: starsailor Might be easier to just delete all partitions and go from there. | 18:21 |
| kappa1 | pavlos, yes | 18:21 |
| glitchd | thats what i just said.. | 18:21 |
| pavlos | kappa1, example: touch bob, then echo 1 > tee /home/kappa/bob | 18:22 |
| pavlos | kappa1, use > not I (redirection not pipe | 18:22 |
| kappa1 | hummm | 18:22 |
| kappa1 | the problem is that I need to issue the sudo command along with tee | 18:23 |
| kappa1 | with ">" I can't do that | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | kappa1: echo something | sudo tee /path/to/sile | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | or tee -a to append | 18:23 |
| kappa1 | 2nd question, how can I run something at boot time with sudo rights? | 18:23 |
| EriC^^ | kappa1: make a systemd unit | 18:24 |
| kappa1 | I just have to put my script here: /etc/init.d | 18:24 |
| kappa1 | but it won't run as sudo | 18:24 |
| EriC^^ | that's old sysv | 18:24 |
| EriC^^ | use a systemd unit | 18:25 |
| vfw | kappa1: Depends on what you want to run. You might just use a cron job. | 18:26 |
| kappa1 | just run a script 1 time | 18:26 |
| kappa1 | with sudo rights | 18:26 |
| kappa1 | EriC^^, is that the simplest way? | 18:27 |
| mitya | а кто-нибудь русский знает ? | 18:27 |
| vfw | kappa1: One time? Or one time each session? | 18:27 |
| kappa1 | One time | 18:27 |
| pavlos | !ru | mitya | 18:28 |
| ubottu | mitya: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 18:28 |
| mitya | Спасибо | 18:29 |
| vfw | kappa1: You could use a cron job, and then delete it. You could use /etc/rc.local and then delete it.... Just what ever is easiest for you. | 18:29 |
| morgoth | ubuntu is so fucking buggy! | 18:29 |
| mitya | хотя мне лень | 18:29 |
| vfw | kappa1: But if you only need to do it one time, why not just manually run it? | 18:29 |
| kappa1 | vfw, but can I run scripts with sudo on rc.local? | 18:29 |
| kappa1 | I mean, one time whever the system boots | 18:30 |
| vfw | kappa1: No need for sudo on rc.local | 18:30 |
| vfw | kappa1: Just use full path to script | 18:30 |
| kappa1 | ok | 18:30 |
| vfw | kappa1: You may need to enable rc.local sudo systemctl enable rc-local.service | 18:32 |
| Bartito | t | 18:32 |
| Bartito | is there any channel for help with ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| vfw | kappa1: And be sure the script has executable bit enabled. | 18:33 |
| vfw | Bartito: You're on it. | 18:33 |
| Bartito | lol, thanks | 18:33 |
| Bartito | my drama is.. I get hwid ban for a page web.. and i am looking any app for change my hwid | 18:34 |
| EriC^ | what hwid? | 18:35 |
| Bartito | i see it for win.. but uncle google doesn't want to help me | 18:35 |
| EriC^ | you mean the headers that has your browser info? | 18:35 |
| Bartito | idk sure.. i change my address mac but isn't working | 18:35 |
| vfw | Bartito: What do you mean by hwid? | 18:35 |
| Bartito | hardware id | 18:36 |
| EriC^ | the mac address is irrelevant to the webpage | 18:36 |
| vfw | Bartito: Oh ok. MAC address. | 18:36 |
| EriC^ | Bartito: is it from your isp or the web page? | 18:36 |
| Bartito | web page | 18:36 |
| vfw | Bartito: You need to describe more clearly what the problem is. | 18:36 |
| EriC^ | Bartito: what does the web page say? | 18:36 |
| Bartito | i used vpn.. proxies and nothing is working | 18:36 |
| EriC^ | Bartito: try using tor browser | 18:37 |
| ikonia | try not using anything | 18:37 |
| EriC^ | the header says usually windows xp or something | 18:37 |
| vfw | Bartito: ... then I would say it is not your identity that is the problem. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | try just surfing the internet like most people do | 18:37 |
| EriC^ | ikonia: out of context | 18:38 |
| EriC^ | *you're | 18:38 |
| Bartito | ikonia seriusly i was looking for 2 days before come here.. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | ahh | 18:38 |
| ikonia | I'm missing some context, | 18:38 |
| pavlos | starsailor, is your install working now? | 18:39 |
| EriC^ | Bartito: what does the site say exactly? | 18:39 |
| Bartito | so i dont have more resources.. | 18:39 |
| Bartito | oh | 18:39 |
| starsailor | pavlos: I was trying to get what ioria said up and running, but for some reason the WiFi isn't connecting. | 18:39 |
| Bartito | i didn't want to do spam.. lol | 18:39 |
| vfw | Bartito: I still do not think we fully understand what you're up against. Not sure what advise to offer, (other than try another browser). | 18:39 |
| Bartito | i change the browser | 18:40 |
| Bartito | *changed and nothing | 18:40 |
| pavlos | starsailor, you might be able to active wifi within the live CD, see software and updates, additional drivers | 18:40 |
| pavlos | activate | 18:41 |
| vfw | Bartito: Without more details on your issue, I'm not sure what we can offer in the way of advise. | 18:41 |
| starsailor | pavlos: Yeah, I was looking now. | 18:41 |
| pavlos | starsailor, but the install should proceed w/o network ... | 18:42 |
| starsailor | pavlos: Well, the install would, but I was specifically trying to run that command successfully. | 18:43 |
| starsailor | In any case, I would want networking to update it while it installs. | 18:43 |
| starsailor | :) | 18:43 |
| pavlos | starsailor, ok, I recall somone asked you to get pastebinit | 18:43 |
| starsailor | Yes, that is what I was trying to do. It seems to be already installed in the live USB, I just need to get the other command done. | 18:43 |
| pavlos | starsailor, do you have wired eth nearby? | 18:44 |
| starsailor | I do. The laptop lacks an RJ45 port. | 18:44 |
| starsailor | :-) | 18:44 |
| vfw | starsailor: Eventually, you'll need some way to connect to internet. | 18:45 |
| starsailor | vfw: Of course. | 18:45 |
| pavlos | starsailor, try a wifi usb stick if available | 18:45 |
| genii | Bartito: If a web page is telling you your MAC address it doesn't mean anything unless the web page is on a device like a router or other machine directly connected to you. Web pages out on the internet will only see the MAC address of a machine directly connected to them as well, so usually the last one in the route which goes from your machine to that place where the web page is at. | 18:45 |
| vfw | haha, yea, it would be like buying a new sports car and not being able to get out of the drive way. | 18:45 |
| starsailor | pavlos: *nod* | 18:46 |
| starsailor | vfw: lol. Yes. | 18:46 |
| Disaster_Area | hey my headphone jack isn't working and I was wondering on the off-chance if it might be a software rather than hardware issue, how could I troubleshoot it and maybe fix it? | 18:46 |
| Disaster_Area | oh wait nvm it's working now fsr. wasn't working when I tested a minute ago and earlier however | 18:48 |
| vfw | Disaster_Area: Yea, it may be software related. Try alsamixer, make sure everything is turned up. Also try other ports. | 18:49 |
| tomreyn | if, without changing the software, it suddently started working, then its most likely a broken wire | 18:49 |
| pavlos | or dust ... | 18:49 |
| vfw | or hardware issue. | 18:50 |
| kappa1 | I added the script to rc.local but it does not get executed | 18:51 |
| kappa1 | vfw^ | 18:52 |
| vfw | ls -l /path/to/script #See that script has executable script enabled. | 18:53 |
| pavlos | kappa1, so before the exit 0 line, you add echo 42 > /home/kappa/bob, run the script (/etc/rc.local), the contents of bob should be 42 | 18:55 |
| starsailor | Hm, now, OK, this is interesting. | 18:56 |
| kappa1 | ok, just one more thing | 18:56 |
| starsailor | The SHA1 checksum doesn't coincide with what I see at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/16.04.1/release/SHA1SUMS | 18:56 |
| kappa1 | pavlos, if a command fails, no subsequent commands are executed right? | 18:56 |
| pavlos | starsailor, bad iso | 18:56 |
| starsailor | pavlos: Bah. | 18:56 |
| kappa1 | vfw, ok I think the problem is that the first command fails | 18:57 |
| vfw | ls -l /path/to/script #See that script has executable *bit* enabled. | 18:57 |
| pavlos | kappa1, can you pastebin /etc/rc.local ? | 18:57 |
| vfw | kappa1: Ok, then fix the command. | 18:57 |

| cannotMakeBlueTo | this is ubuntu mate xenial running. In trusty there was a chance to install kscreensaver, i only needed kclock.kss. Now, this package is gone. Where can i get the kclock.kss and how can i make it run (from the command line via kclock.kss& at least) ?! | 19:45 |
| ben_____ | Hmm, I was thinking that might be the case. I'm doing it on a work computer and it's already forwarding enough stuff aroudn | 19:45 |
