[00:00] 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 / [00:01] 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] I am neaw user , how can I start LAN, I have access to internet but I cannot open facebook or mail!! ?? [00:01] nacc Looks like I'll be building it. [00:03] method-1 gave kernel-panic, method-2 worked ok!, maybe a network related issue. http://paste.ubuntu.com/23286849/ [00:03] yeah might be right im on 14.04.5 [00:04] exit === Morisato_K1|Ubun is now known as Suntop_Kinseeker [00:10] anyone comfortable weird stuff in the networking world? [00:13] I saw in here this morning that someone said there is a 3D desktop?

Are you sure it's not just performance? [00:22] what is system manager?

[00:24] 16 04 [00:25] I am not accessing the files, the computer is doing loading chrome of a machine with an SDD drive should take secs not minutes [00:26] when I disconnect the network cable the problem goes away [00:26] thesushimanoftao: you just said "working with system files", "editing/inspecting network files", how are you "not accessing the files"? [00:27] thesushimanoftao: do you have some network shares or anything? [00:27] I am not editing, i am not starting system processes, but i notice the problem correlatively not causally [00:28] shouldn't using stock install of 1604 studio [00:28] thesushimanoftao: ok, so what you said before wasn't true? [00:29] nacc if you are going to say what i said wasn't true, please cut and paste [00:29] tehtraveler2321: uh, i just did? [00:29] tehtraveler2321: sorry [00:29] thesushimanoftao: i just did? [00:31] I was doing that which should be automatic, I was not doing stuff in terminal. I dont know the cultural lingo for linux yet, I was doing normal stuff and the problem showed up and the only correlative experience I did not want to proclaim causality, just looking for help in how to troubbleshoot [00:32] Hi. I have a strange font issue. It seems to only happen with proprietary software (like Perforce or Android studio.) Some fonts render as extremely tall with no spaces or very tall and not render. There's an example here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/834024/some-forms-render-wrong-probably-due-to-font-problem [00:33] thesushimanoftao: the only things you said you were doing so far, you've now said you weren't doing, so I feel like you should start over and say exactly what the problem is [00:34] anyone have any idea why i seem to have lost the ability to select where my task bars are displayed in multiple monitors ? [00:35] i am thinking this happened with upgrade to 16.04 [00:35] while surfing, although sometime not, with network connected, the computer seems to lug, the mouse skips and stalls, and applications seem to freeze even though task manager shows no activity [00:35] better starting point nacc? [00:35] with gnome flashback [00:35] thesushimanoftao: yes, i have no idea why you mentioned settings manager earlier :) [00:36] thesushimanoftao: sounds like buggy hardware to me [00:36] nacc do you have a good hardware diagnostics iso you could send me to? === harrris is now known as Basketball [00:37] thesushimanoftao: it doesn't happen when your network is disconnected? naything in `dmesg` output that stands out (feel free to run `dmesg | pastebinit` and provide the url here) === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 === u_ is now known as RAOFer [00:41] as a part of my troubleshooting i wanted to see if it was connected to network usage and as a step, disconnecting the network cable the behavior subsided [00:42] thesushimanoftao: you also didn't answer if you have network shares -- how is your network connected? usb adapter or anything [00:43] i have not conciously turned on any networking other than tcp/ip not sharing anything [00:47] Greetings all [00:48] thesushimanoftao: i'm not sure, sorry === u_ is now known as RAOFer [00:50] sorry! someone can help me for instruction with stepconfig for cnc??

I thinks [00:52] jean_: sorry, can't help with 10.04 issues [00:52] I have 12.04 installed. If I update to 14.04 via the update manager will my wireless network adapter still work? [00:52] chaospsychex: it *should* but it really depends. You may want to try 14.04.5 live usb and see how it looks there [00:53] nacc, ok. what about updates relative to 12.04? should i install those? it's not going to update the installed kernel is it? A later kernel version might break wifi.. [00:54] chaospsychex: sorry, not sure what you mean by 'updates relative to 12.04'? [00:54] nacc I try a lot of version! debian to!!! and 10.04 is running on demo mode problem is the configuaration for activate the cnc [00:54] jean_: that's fine, but not ontopic here. 10.04 is eol and unsupported [00:54] !eol | jean_ [00:54] jean_: 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 [00:55] nacc, software updates for 12.04. there's alot of them showing in the update manager [00:55] chaospsychex: you should certainly always install the security updates, at least [00:55] chaospsychex: not doing so puts your system at risk [00:55] thank you ubottu I go to read that [00:56] nacc, there's more than security updates showing. application updates, library updates, e.t.c. hundreds... [00:56] chaospsychex: other updates are also generally acceptable within a release, rarely will a version fully change. It will almost certian update kernel [00:56] chaospsychex: sounds like you've been ignoring updates, which is not a good idea === sparklyballs_2 is now known as Sparklyballs [00:57] chaospsychex: you can change whether you get paakge updates via your sources.list configuration -- not specifying -updates, -backports, etc. But you should always have -security enabled and update regularly [00:58] someone is running emc2 or linuxcnc with the version 16.04? [01:00] nacc, not ignoring. i just installed 12.04 [01:01] nacc, i haven't changed update repos. i just want to make sure that the kernel doesn't get updated [01:01] chaospsychex: did you not install the daily iso? might be plenty of updates [01:01] chaospsychex: the kernel might update even with seucrity fixes [01:01] hello guys [01:01] chaospsychex: not the kernel base version, but the kernel as seen in e.g., `uname -a` [01:01] I am new to this [01:02] chaospsychex: are you using linuxCNC ? [01:02] nacc, i installed the 12.04 iso from ubuntu.com. [01:02] hello : need any help? [01:02] chaospsychex: 12.04.5? [01:02] jean_, linuxCNC? [01:02] Hi Eli [01:02] nacc, yup [01:02] chaospsychex: ok, it's not unexpected that you might need updates [01:02] could you please tell how can i add more server in my chat IRC === dan_ is now known as Guest5468 [01:02] chaospsychex: is there any reason you're choosing to install 12.04.5 ? [01:02] chaospsychex: as opposed to 14.04.5 or 16.04.1 i mean [01:03] nacc, i'm using an older hp g6 and 12.04 was chosen because wireless network adapter worked out of the box [01:03] i hate realtek and broadcom chips [01:03] chaospsychex: 12.04.5 goes eol in a few months [01:03] chaospsychex: that's why i was asking [01:03] chaospsychex: did you try with 14.04.5 or 16.04.1? [01:04] nacc, i will check 14.04. if i try a live usb 14.04 and wireless is working, is it safe to update to 14.04 from 12.04 update manager? [01:04] chaospsychex: if you just installed, why not just reinstall? [01:04] chaospsychex: that will be significantly faster [01:04] nacc, because i have already configured the machine, installed necessary apps and such... [01:05] chaospsychex: ok, that's not 'just installed' :) [01:05] i'll update to 14.04 [01:05] chaospsychex: well, it's relative [01:05] nacc, true, lol [01:05] chaospsychex: i wouldn't update unless you check it works with live first === y0sh__ is now known as y0sh [01:05] nacc, will do [01:06] I test on virtual box === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [01:07] jean_, you test on vbox? why? it virtualizes hardware === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo === captain_fixerpc1 is now known as CaptainFixerpc14 [01:09] lol because I use win 10 to! and I have (sometime) badlock with that === don is now known as Guest69256 [01:10] I think linux cnc is not running on ubuntu 16.04 [01:10] jean_: afaict, linuxcnc is not an ubuntu package, you'd need to talk to their developers [01:10] jean_: gl!

I think it's good but If I return because some bug! anithing I can change [01:14] nacc: i got that output for you on the dmesg output [01:14] jean_: i'm not sure i follow. linuxcnc is not an ubuntu package. you would need to talk to the linuxcnc developers if you have problems with it. not here [01:14] thesushimanoftao: ok, link? [01:15] chaospsychex: I am a new user but I start a long time ago with computer (1978) [01:15] jean_, you don't 'upgrade' from 12.10 to 12.04 [01:15] chaospsychex: jean_ is on 10.04 [01:15] jean_, lol 1978?

[01:56] rambling_dan: What release ? as there is no proprietary driver for that card in 16.04 ( AMD throwing full support to open source ) . [01:56] neildugan, in theory yes, but you probably shouldn't have Vbox use libvirt's networking. That's a bit messy. [01:57] lordcirth, messy! why? ... the dnsmasq etc. should already be setup [01:58] neildugan, it will probably work. Just seems a bit weird to me. Why not just use libvirt for the VM? [01:59] lordcirth, the primary reason is I wanted to run a Windows VM , and VirtualBox does a better job at that. [02:00] Bashing-om: 16.04. So I don't have to worry about it at all?

You can try VLC, for example. [02:06] lordcirth, i have a .mkv file that vlc won't play. does it mean that the file is corrupted ? [02:06] chaospsychex, does vlc give an error [02:06] ?* [02:07] lordcirth, no suitable decoder found is what vlc is saying [02:07] chaospsychex, let me guess, you chose not to install 3rd-party codecs during installer? [02:08] chaospsychex: damn if vlc is complaining about a file O.o [02:08] chaospsychex, try install vlc-plugin-libde265 [02:08] lordcirth, i chose to install 3rd-party codecs [02:10] lordcirth, how? apt-get doesn't find it [02:10] chaospsychex, apparently it's been renamed to libde265-0 [02:11] E: Unable to locate package libde265-0 [02:12] lordcirth, unable to locate libde265-0 [02:12] chaospsychex, what Ubuntu version?

[02:21] hackzor, what? [02:22] mnathani: Know the partition on sdb ' sudo fdisk -lu ' . and mount: ' sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1 ' where 'sdb1' is the partition - from fdisk - that you want to mount . [02:22] lordcirth: only showing sda partitions [02:22] whats that paste from command line [02:23] lordcirth: sudo mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 /media/lubuntu/lubuntuinstall [02:23] lordcirth: something like that? [02:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23287204/ [02:23] pantato, sure, if sdb1 is the correct partition. [02:24] Are you guys playing a game or something?? [02:24] mnathani: Correction ' sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb ' . [02:24] lordcirth: still can't edit the file i need to [02:24] pantato, what stops you? [02:24] fdisk doesnt show sdb [02:24] at all [02:25] lordchirth can someobe tell me whats going on [02:25] someone* [02:25] mnathani: Then that suggest there is no file system on the device . Does bios see the device ? [02:25] 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" [02:26] pantato, did you run vi as root? [02:27] lordcirth: yes [02:28] pantato, that is strange [02:28] pantato, can you mv /etc/modules? [02:29] Hello, anyone using a ssd with linux? [02:30] lordcirth: sec [02:30] n-iCe, yes, why? [02:30] lordcirth: looks like i did make the changes to the file but my lubuntu is still not booting [02:31] pantato, did you break any other files, maybe? [02:31] lordcirth: awesome! what distro [02:31] n-iCe, many. Kubuntu 16.04 at the moment. Did you have a question about it? [02:32] lordcirth: that was the only file i messed with manually [02:32] lordcirth: sure, just ssd or a sata drive too? [02:32] i cant get into fking recovery mode [02:32] n-iCe, are you asking survey questions? [02:33] lordcirth: is it difficult to answer? [02:33] guess ill reinstall. ugh [02:33] 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] n-iCe, no. This is the Ubuntu support channel, surveys are off-topic [02:33] n-iCe, see, that's a real support question [02:33] n-iCe, how big is the SSD? [02:33] I keep reaing home boot root to ssd and hdd home [02:34] 230GB [02:34] reading* [02:34] 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. [02:35] 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] Bashing-om, I don't think he mentioned sharing /boot. [02:35] hi, sorry, what shoud I do to find a russan help? [02:35] But yes, a separate /boot is not normally needed [02:36] !russia | Jumboo [02:36] Jumboo: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke.

[02:37] ah [02:37] Bashing-om, lordcirth http://paste.ubuntu.com/23287229/ [02:38] lordcirth: about to reinstall unless you have any other suggestions [02:38] I reinstalled Bashing-om, but, I keep reading, I should use the hdd to var and swap and home [02:38] n-iCe, you dont want a separate /var [02:39] at most you want /, /home, and swap [02:39] I don't use swap. [02:40] 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 [02:41] 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 . [02:42] 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] pantato, I have never heard of someone needing to adjust that [02:43] hi [02:43] lordcirth: its important for professional level gaming :) [02:44] pantato, I'm a gamer too, but my mouse works fine as-is [02:44] Hello quick question. I have a ubuntu server installation on a virtual machine along with 2 centos7 and 2 windows server installs. Both of my other installations of linux had no problems. But my ubuntu server install has what I belive to be a DNS error. [02:44] Hey guys, has anyone had any luck installing on a BayTrail device?

This is a hardware level failure. I just reinstalled and Im stuck at the exact samw screen! Fuck!!! === JanC is now known as Guest21552 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [02:56] Bashing-om: tried that [02:56] it can't seem to mount the CD during install [02:56] (CD in this case is USB) [02:56] coy: Ouch ! Busted system ? what results ' ls -al /var/log/ ' ? [02:57] tcSorry then. will take others who have the greater experience than I . [02:57] hey tx? can your usb drive not mount? [02:57] hopefully its just a bad sata cable [02:58] Bashing-om u there facing dbus error [02:59] Well [03:00] I will not worry about the ssd life time. [03:00] n-iCe: add noatime as a mount option [03:00] Keep reading, and some people say it will last like a decade using 10GB every day before it get full. [03:00] oh daaammiiiiiiiiiiit [03:00] n-iCe: increases performance, extends lifespan [03:00] orlock: ubuntu does it since 16.04 [03:00] does not it? [03:00] I dont know [03:01] how to check [03:01] :D [03:01] fstab, right? [03:02] C06: At this point, I would boot up a liveDVD and run a file system check . That directory should exist and be accessable ! [03:03] Bashing-om it is related to nividia error?? [03:05] C06: No telling what all it might be related to , If that directory is not accessable, what else ?? [03:07] C06: " sysop@1404mini:~$ ls -ld /var/log/ >> drwxrwxr-x 9 root syslog 4096 Oct 6 12:35 /var/log/ " If yours is not similar, there is a problem . [03:23] 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 [03:26] SynfulAck: try playing with mplayer2 [03:27] 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] 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. [03:28] I think i tried that and the instructions dont follow with the UI, unless i missed sumin. [03:29] SynfulAck : umm [03:29] SynfulAck : have you tried gnome media player. If VLC doesn't let you give it a try [03:29] SynfulAck : i'm trying my best to gather more information to help you [03:30] Eli-5dce, dont c that software installed, dont even see it in the software [03:30] SynfulAck: try playing with mplayer2 [03:31] SynfulAck: that works. Or you also can try dragonplayer it might work too [03:31] I was going to try mplayer2, just lookn if they have an .rpm [03:32] SynfulAck : what os are you using? [03:32] SynfulAck: you shouldn't be looking for an rpm [03:32] i want it on an rpm machine [03:33] SynfulAck : because if you have a os that runs off of rpm and not deb. you need to have dragon player [03:33] SynfulAck: then you're in the wrong channel, this is for Ubuntu support only [03:34] yeah but rpm guys are preteens [03:34] 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] Is there anything different about module adjustments in 16.04? [03:35] SynfulAck: if you are using a rpm machine use dragonplayer. If you are using a deb use gnomeplayer or mplayer2 [03:37] 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 [03:38] Fedora like a boss. [03:38] 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] If you like Fedora. Dual Boot it [03:40] 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] I have OSX 10.9, Ubuntu 14.04, Fedora 25, OpenSuse Leap and Android. All of my stuff on one hdd. [03:40] I'm coming back here from #ubuntu+1 [03:41] dr4c4n: suggestion is, are you using gnome? [03:41] Eli-5dce: yes [03:42] dr4c4n: what are the specs of the pc? [03:42] just make it brief [03:42] it's an asus zenbook pro ux501vw, nvidia 960 [03:43] ok so it is a pc with a 960m. so 8gb ram. So it is supported. Have you ever tried 14.04? [03:43] 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 [03:44] dr4c4n: why would you need drivers? [03:44] it might be a problem with the nvidia driver [03:45] i have a 1080ti in my desktop and it had a unstable driver and froze my computer [03:45] 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] dr4c4n: ok got it [03:45] what I don't understand is the computer boots the installer fine, but when rebooting: freezes [03:46] just after login [03:46] have you ever tried lxde? [03:46] with 16.04 and the nvidia driver, I got a black screen [03:46] I did try xfce, but not lxde [03:46] and its' 16 gb of ram [03:46] ok [03:47] I tried to follow a blog exactly [03:47] where does one get the i686-linux-gnu-gcc-5 that I see in build logs for Xenial on launchpad? [03:47] 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] 1. tip. never use a driver or ubuntu. 2nd. try lxde go to : www.lubuntu.net [03:47] on ubuntu* [03:48] also 16.04 makes my fan go constantly on high speed. [03:48] i have one of the oldest gaming pcs in history and it has no driver and it works totally fine. [03:48] 14.04 didn't have touchpad support [03:49]
