| Darien | lordcirth: How do I do that? | 00:24 |
| Darien | lunar_blob: It's wireless, and it's only my computer so yes, it is. | 00:24 |
| lordcirth | Darien, tracepath 8.8.8.8 and see where the slowdown happens. | 00:24 |

| lordcirth | Darien, yes. | 00:26 |

| Darien | lordcirth: Ok. | 00:26 |

| lordcirth | !ask | schemanic_ | 00:28 |
| ubottu | schemanic_: 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 | 00:28 |
| lunar_blob | bazhang, !!! | 00:28 |
| schemanic_ | I'm using rsync to move files from a server. I need to move a whole tree, but I need the ownership on the directories to be different than that of the files, and completely different from the source. | 00:28 |
| schemanic_ | say I'm moving /home/sftpuser/file1.txt | 00:29 |
| schemanic_ | I need /home/sftpuser to have schemanic:sftp ownership | 00:29 |
| Darien | lordcirth: I think it's my drivers. Because it sometimes disconnects as well. While every other device is fine. | 00:29 |
| schemanic_ | but /home/sftpuser/file1.txt to have schemanic:schemanic ownership | 00:29 |
| Darien | lordcirth: Also, before when I was running Windows 10 it didn't do it either. | 00:29 |
| lordcirth | Darien, then yes, that's likely | 00:30 |
| schemanic_ | on the source server, the ownership for both things is tomcat:tomcat | 00:30 |
| Ben64 | schemanic_: change owner after | 00:30 |
| Darien | lordcirth: Got any ideas for solving it? | 00:30 |
| lordcirth | schemanic_, rsync has a --chmod option which should be useful. If that doesn't do enough, yeah, just chmod it after | 00:30 |
| lordcirth | Darien, find your model of wifi adapter using lspci, and google it, | 00:31 |
| Darien | lordcirth: Ok cool. | 00:31 |

| nuxil | no? | 01:44 |
| TheMarius | yes | 01:44 |
| nuxil | please tell more. | 01:44 |
| TheMarius | rasdebian or something | 01:44 |
| nicomachus | nuxil: not really a quesiton for channel. but yes, raspbian is a debian fork made for pi's | 01:44 |
| nuxil | nicomachus, , TheMarius ok .thanks. | 01:44 |
| nuxil | i'll go ask more in a pi channel | 01:45 |
| TheMarius | cars .... what do you think of there? like carputers? | 01:45 |
| TheMarius | good | 01:45 |
| TheMarius | luck | 01:45 |

| stranglerfish | hello | 01:45 |
| stranglerfish | anyone able to help me understand why keybinding a simple script that echos some text does not work? | 01:46 |
| TheMarius | im curious how unity 8 will stack up against manjaro deepin.... i just installed it in a virtual machine.. pure linux pornography... best looking OS i have ever toutched | 01:46 |
| TheMarius | deepin that is | 01:47 |
| TheMarius | good things are happening in linux for sure | 01:47 |
| stranglerfish | the keybind command looks like so: bash /home/username/code/scripts/foo.sh | 01:47 |
| === slyrus_ is now known as slyrus | ||
| nicomachus | stranglerfish: how did you bind it? possibly just an error in the script | 01:47 |
| stranglerfish | the script is literally just: echo "System.out.println(" | 01:48 |

| kellyleahy | any tips on how to diagnose touchscreen calibration problems (nothing seems to affect distance from "correct" clicks)? | 01:48 |
| nicomachus | stranglerfish: ok, then how did you bind it? | 01:48 |
| stranglerfish | but when i press the keybind (ctrl+shift+l), nothing happens in terminal, netbeans, address bar, etc | 01:48 |

| Guest78391 | thanks a lot | 01:49 |

| Tsurya | can we play westnoth ? | 01:50 |
| nuxil | votlon, its a old car. so i need to use the obd2 protocol | 01:50 |
| stranglerfish | is there some limitation on which keys I can use for the binding perhaps? i received no errors when setting it | 01:50 |

| votlon | nicomachus: odb2 is new lol xD | 01:50 |

| stranglerfish | i've tried logging out and back in again as well, still the same | 01:51 |
| nicomachus | stranglerfish: still waiting for you to tell me how you did the bind | 01:52 |
| nuxil | volton i want a distro that designed for it instead of me having to create lots of code to display the rpm etc on gauges. i can do it myself by using exising libs. but it takes some time and therfor was woundering if the already is one distro that had cars in mind. | 01:53 |

| nicomachus | stranglerfish: you may not be able to run a command/script through a keybind, but I"m not sure | 02:08 |
| nicomachus | Amul_macho: 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 02:08 |
| stranglerfish | i have seen threads that say you can | 02:08 |
| OerHeks | pasting an error without the command, why people do that? | 02:08 |
| stranglerfish | what if i somehow make that script an actual command that can be run from any directory? | 02:09 |
| nicomachus | OerHeks: no idea. but dpkg --configure -a usually kills those pesky little guys. | 02:09 |
| OerHeks | package is in a very bad inconsistent state .. | 02:09 |
| stranglerfish | http://askubuntu.com/questions/399062/running-a-script-from-a-keybinding | 02:09 |
| nicomachus | OerHeks: yea, figured we could dig at that if dpkg didn't work | 02:09 |
| stranglerfish | according to that it should work, and I tried with $HOME as well | 02:10 |
| nicomachus | stranglerfish: ah, yes. so you have to make the script into a shortcut. that would do it. | 02:10 |
| stranglerfish | how do i go about that? i knew how to make functions with fish shell but i'm no longer using that atm | 02:10 |
| Amul_macho | What exactly is package libxml2:amd64 for ? | 02:11 |

| Amul_macho | I mean remove | 02:18 |
| OerHeks | Amul_macho, i can not give an answer, as you did'nt include your original command in the first place. nor what guide you follow | 02:19 |
| stranglerfish | can someone on ubuntu try what i'm doing and tell me if it's working for them? | 02:19 |
| stranglerfish | cause i'm seeing threads claiming it should | 02:20 |
| Amul_macho | command is sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade and guide is same channel | 02:20 |
| Amul_macho | someone suggested me trying this as I was facing this earlier too | 02:20 |

| lordcirth | stranglerfish, and what does foo.sh do? Something that should be visible without a command line open? | 02:21 |
| stranglerfish | echos a line | 02:21 |
| stranglerfish | i'm basically trying to achieve what i used to do with autohotkey on windows | 02:21 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, ok, so you bound it to a keyboard shortcut. Where do you expect the output to show up? | 02:22 |
| stranglerfish | create hotkeys for often repeated tasks like typing out boilerplate for code and such | 02:22 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, if you're literally just using 'echo' that wont work | 02:22 |
| stranglerfish | in the netbeans text editor is what i'm hoping, but also would be nice if it worked in emacs and sublime | 02:22 |
| stranglerfish | oh? | 02:22 |
| stranglerfish | what would I have to do for that to work then | 02:22 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, echo returns its output on stdout, which will go nowhere, because the shell the shortcut runs in is invisible | 02:22 |
| stranglerfish | ah lol | 02:23 |
| lordcirth | xclip might work | 02:23 |
| stranglerfish | is that also the case with print in python / c? | 02:23 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, yes | 02:24 |
| stranglerfish | ok so it wouldn't work to just do it as a python script instead | 02:24 |
| lordcirth | if you want to input stuff into arbitrary X windows, you'll need something X-aware | 02:24 |
| stranglerfish | i'll get xclip, i recall having it a few distros back | 02:24 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, a simple solution is to use xclip to put your text in buffer, then middleclick to paste it | 02:24 |
| stranglerfish | is there anyway to automate the middle click as well? | 02:25 |
| stranglerfish | perhaps in the keybind command? | 02:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info xautomation | stranglerfish | 02:25 |
| lordcirth | Or, xdotool | 02:25 |
| stranglerfish | or in the script itself, preferably? | 02:25 |
| ubottu | stranglerfish: xautomation (source: xautomation): Control X from the command line, and find things on the screen. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.09-1build1 (yakkety), package size 35 kB, installed size 175 kB | 02:25 |
| Amul_macho | what is the command to reinstall a package > | 02:25 |
| Amul_macho | ? | 02:25 |
| stranglerfish | i just installed xclip, does that work better? | 02:25 |
| lordcirth | Amul_macho, apt install --reinstall x | 02:25 |
| lordcirth | stranglerfish, if you want to do it without the middleclick, look at that package ^ | 02:26 |
| Amul_macho | hmm now I know why this problem occurs | 02:27 |
| Amul_macho | Actually that is due to upgrade a few months back to trusty from xenial and the packages were backed up | 02:28 |
| stranglerfish | erm, the xautomation just describes converting images and such | 02:28 |
| Amul_macho | or maybe backuped | 02:28 |
| Amul_macho | soory for the poor english | 02:28 |
| stranglerfish | i'm not seeing anything about clicking in the man page, aside from mention in the description | 02:28 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: xte is a command in the xautomation package, xte mouseclick | 02:29 |
| stranglerfish | nevermind foudn it | 02:29 |
| stranglerfish | ah yeah, thanks :) | 02:29 |
| emreg | I can't see hardstatus line for gnu screen why? | 02:30 |

| stranglerfish | so | 02:32 |
| stranglerfish | i want to make an alias that first xclips to buffer, and then just simulates mouseclick | 02:32 |

| ObrienDave | stranglerfish, not if you don't tell us what's happening | 03:19 |
| \9 | kellyleahy: try the single-user mode | 03:19 |
| kellyleahy | how do I get there? | 03:19 |
| stranglerfish | so i'm trying to make a keybind that will automatically output text to whichever window i'm in | 03:19 |
| \9 | kellyleahy: it should be present in the grub menu | 03:20 |
| stranglerfish | i made a shell script, using xclip and xte | 03:20 |
| stranglerfish | the xclip part is working, but xte is not working. i'm trying to use it to simulate the middlemouseclick | 03:20 |
| kellyleahy | how do i force boot to grub menu? shift didn't seem to work even though I thought it did before. | 03:21 |
| stranglerfish | you know what, i'll just simulate pressing ctrl+v instead | 03:21 |
| kellyleahy | ah... got that. Don't see anything in "grub boot menu" | 03:22 |
| stranglerfish | see if i can get that to work | 03:22 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: k, you'll want something like keydown Ctrl then the v, then keyup Ctrl, consult the manual. | 03:23 |
| === anon is now known as Guest63706 | ||
| kellyleahy | I'm looking at a screen that says "GRUB Boot Menu" with commands along the bottom (select, enter:boot, etc.) but nothing else. C doesn't seem to go to command line even though I've pressed several times. I'm feeling pretty stupid at this point. | 03:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: xte 'mouseclick 2' works for me to middle click, note that the mouse needs to be over the window you're clicking into. | 03:24 |

| stranglerfish | xte keydown Control_L | 03:27 |

| nathan_ | So... I minecraft has been trying to install every time I install any other package. I don't know why. I've cleared out the repository, and I'm not sure what else I've done to try to stop it. Where should I look to get rid of it? | 03:30 |
| stranglerfish | i think i'm close! | 03:32 |
| stranglerfish | this is taking me way too long though :P | 03:32 |
| === jazz_vibes is now known as jazzvibes | ||
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: works for me, are you quoting properly? xte 'keydown Control_L' ; xte 'key v' ; xte 'keyup Control_L' | 03:33 |
| stranglerfish | ah, i was doing that part wrong. i had the two arguments just next to each other | 03:33 |
| === jazzvibes is now known as jbbiomed | ||
| stranglerfish | shit ok so i got it to work but the issue is | 03:36 |
| stranglerfish | it's still just doing it in the shell, not in the window i need | 03:36 |
| stranglerfish | so if i type foo in terminal, it successfully puts the text into my clipboard. but it's not properly simulating the ctrl v i don't think | 03:37 |
| nathan_ | ah! nevermind, finally figured out the minecraft-installer thing | 03:38 |
| nathan_ | appears apt remove did it | 03:38 |
| stranglerfish | perhaps now my keybind is just broken | 03:38 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: add a sleep so you can have time to move the mouse to the right window, or whatever works for you. | 03:38 |
| stranglerfish | is there no way to grab the current window or something? | 03:39 |
| stranglerfish | i never would have thought this would be such a difficult task lol, seems like something everyone would want | 03:39 |
| SchrodingersScat | !info wmctrl | stranglerfish | 03:40 |
| ubottu | stranglerfish: wmctrl (source: wmctrl): control an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-7 (yakkety), package size 20 kB, installed size 78 kB | 03:40 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: everyone has their own use case, I use xautomation to do lots of things, from filling out forms to spamming chats, so depends on what you're trying to do. If you just need quick copy paste, the middleclick buffer is really nice. I always miss it when I'm forced to use a non linux system ;( | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | yeah, i'm trying to automate outputting of text, so filling forms sorta | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | like | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | I hate having to type out System.out.println each time for example | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | i want to bind that to a key | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | is xautomation a better call then? | 03:42 |
| stranglerfish | nevermind, derp question | 03:43 |
| stranglerfish | but yeah i'm still not getting how to get this to work | 03:44 |
| stranglerfish | isn't xte supposed to be able to paste to window instead of stdout? | 03:45 |
| SchrodingersScat | xte manipulates the keyboard and mouse | 03:45 |
| stranglerfish | fudge, i'm stumped | 03:46 |
| stranglerfish | i've managed to get the text into the clipboard | 03:46 |
| stranglerfish | but when it comes to getting it pasted with ctrl + v wherever i'm currently focused, i unno | 03:46 |
| stranglerfish | "Note that some commands may | 03:47 |
| stranglerfish | not work correctly unless the display is on the console, e.g. | 03:47 |
| stranglerfish | the display is currently controlled by the keyboard and mouse | 03:47 |
| stranglerfish | and not in the background." | 03:47 |
| stranglerfish | any way around that? | 03:47 |

| Anja | where's the best place to start troubleshooting the dimming of the backlight on my laptop screen? | 03:48 |
| stranglerfish | yes, that works. but what i want is for it to be to window | 03:48 |
| stranglerfish | so like | 03:48 |
| stranglerfish | if i'm in my ide | 03:48 |
| stranglerfish | i just wanna do ctrl+alt+n for the text to be auto pasted | 03:48 |
| stranglerfish | oh poo, i think my keybind is the issue | 03:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Anja: best way is to ask your issue here once in a while | 03:49 |
| lotuspsychje | !details | Anja so others can help you better | 03:49 |
| ubottu | Anja so others can help you better: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 03:49 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: I'm struggling to find a good keybind for this, and I'm in xubuntu so not sure if my success or failures would help you at all, but there's probably a couple avenues to do this so don't get frustrated, like I was testing how to get something like Super+N to run xte 'str System.out.println' but it brought up like 7 windows so I think i'm done for the night. | 03:51 |
| stranglerfish | yeah i don't really understand what's going on i'm not very experienced with linux in general | 03:54 |
| Anja | on my laptop i use the backlight buttons. i get a notification of changing settings. nothing actually changes. i see no logs updating | 03:56 |
| stranglerfish | if i do println from the terminal (the alias), then ctrl+v in another window pastes properly | 03:56 |
| stranglerfish | but doing my keybind ctrl+alt+n does not seem to allow that | 03:56 |
| stranglerfish | leads me to believe i need to modify my xclip command | 03:57 |
| SchrodingersScat | oh, you may have to -selection CLIPBOARD or is it -SELECTION clipboard ? i always forget... | 03:58 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: xclip -selection CLIPBOARD if you want it int your ctrl-v buffer | 03:59 |
| stranglerfish | "echo -n "System.out.println(" | xclip" | 04:01 |
| stranglerfish | that's my first line in my script | 04:01 |
| stranglerfish | it was | 04:01 |
| stranglerfish | xclip -sel clip | 04:01 |
| stranglerfish | like, it works if i run the command from terminal | 04:02 |
| stranglerfish | but not from the keybind | 04:02 |
| stranglerfish | println works in terminal, but the command println for some reason doesn't work in keyboard settings :'( | 04:03 |
| SchrodingersScat | stranglerfish: how did you get it in the terminal? | 04:06 |
| stranglerfish | .bash_alias | 04:07 |
| stranglerfish | aliases | 04:08 |
| stranglerfish | "alias println='/home/omid/code/scripts/java-println.sh'" | 04:08 |
| stranglerfish | and typing println in terminal does successfully execute that "echo -n "System.out.println(" | xclip -sel clip" line | 04:08 |
| stranglerfish | and i have made it successfully output System.out.println to terminal right after, with that same script | 04:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | makes me wonder if the keybind can't read that then | 04:09 |
| stranglerfish | but none of it is working with the keybind | 04:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | maybe copy it to /usr/bin/ and chmod 755 | 04:09 |
| stranglerfish | there's gotta be a way to make this work :( | 04:09 |
| stranglerfish | kk i'll try that | 04:09 |
| stranglerfish | nope | 04:11 |
| stranglerfish | OMFG | 04:12 |

| lucas_ai | How can I have execute permissions on my files in an NTFS drive? Can't I use it as my /home ? | 04:22 |
| Ben64 | lucas_ai: no | 04:22 |
| lucas_ai | Ben64, how do I backup my executables to an NTFS system without losing their execute bit then? | 04:23 |
| Ben64 | tar it first | 04:23 |
| lucas_ai | lmao. that's annoying. I'm trying to have my /home directory be in the same partition as my windows data (NTFS) | 04:24 |
| Ben64 | well you shouldn't | 04:24 |
| Ben64 | ntfs doesn't support permissions, usernames, group names, anything good that non-MS operating systems like | 04:25 |
| chipping | kellyleahy: traditionally you'd put things in ~/.xsession, but I think the safest way these days is probably to put your commands in a script file, chmod +x it, then put the script in Startup Applications | 04:26 |
| kellyleahy | @chipping, thanks! | 04:26 |
| chipping | np :-) | 04:26 |
| kellyleahy | @chipping if I want it system-wide? They are settings for the touchscreen, so I want it to apply to all users. | 04:27 |
| kellyleahy | @chipping I found something called /usr/share/xsessions/mate.desktop - is that the appropriate place? | 04:27 |
| kellyleahy | @chipping - oops... obviously that isn't it. | 04:28 |
| chipping | no, that doesn't sound right — have a look in the /etc/X11/Xsession file and the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ directory | 04:28 |
| chipping | my gut says putting a new file in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ is the way to go here | 04:29 |
| kellyleahy | @chipping - just found that too... I think you're right. thx again. | 04:29 |

| nathan_ | well, I was hoping for a better screenshot... but my first guess is that you're using unity 8 | 04:42 |
| nathan_ | MichaelTiebesl, when you log in, did you change the session to Unity 8, as opposed to Unity 7 (default) | 04:42 |
| ObrienDave | wafflejock, i'm trying to remember where to get the latest Intel graphics stack | 04:43 |

| MichaelTiebesl | i have to log out to check that | 04:43 |
| nathan_ | MichaelTiebesl, it should be default to Unity 7, but that's my first guess | 04:43 |
| ObrienDave | wafflejock, try here, no guarantees, ymmv https://01.org/linuxgraphics/ | 04:44 |
| MichaelTiebesl | nathan_:still the same and unity 7 is by default i saw | 04:45 |

| funkyheadgirl | ya, maybe i messed that up, gonna try again | 05:14 |
| ObrienDave | let us know :) | 05:14 |

| xsmltx | nathan_, how to find it please? | 05:14 |
| xsmltx | It's a tablet | 05:15 |
| ObrienDave | laptop? or real tablet? | 05:15 |
| tourazw | Ops! xsmltx send me perverted lewd pm. | 05:16 |
| xsmltx | Imediatelly after installing Lubuntu-core minimal installation from scratch the screen was full, fit to screen, but everything was extremely small, it was a too big resolution, I've tried to change it like in the above pastebin link and now is small | 05:16 |
| cfhowlett | tourazw, send it to !ops | 05:16 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, the reasons it's cutting off is because the screen resolution doesn't have enough room for everything it wants to display. I'm sorry it's small, but you should change it back to a larger resolution, as it sounds like it was before | 05:18 |
| ObrienDave | *sigh* no one sends me perverted lewd pm's LOL | 05:19 |
| xsmltx | Oook, nathan_ than it could not be any other way, is it right ? | 05:19 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, change it back to the resolution it was before, exacly the way you changed it to 800x600 | 05:19 |
| orlock | ObrienDave: bash.org/?104383 | 05:20 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, then, because it's too small, find the place in fluxbox to change font, icon size, and panel size (and whatever else) | 05:20 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, I don't know where that would be, because I haven't even seen a fluxbox UI in roughly 15 years. | 05:21 |
| xsmltx | nathan_, tell me please are there any chances to can use a normal resolution with another Linux distro, another envrironment, because in WIndows 10 it worked even with 800x600 | 05:21 |
| ObrienDave | normal resolution????? in this day and age what's normal? | 05:22 |
| Ben64 | 1080p | 05:22 |
| orlock | Ben64: 16:9 PEASANT! | 05:22 |
| orlock | 16:10 FTW! | 05:22 |
| SwedeMike | too bad there are no 4:3 monitors to be had anymore. | 05:23 |
| orlock | Sure there are | 05:23 |
| orlock | just not easily | 05:23 |
| orlock | :-( | 05:23 |
| Ben64 | according to steam, 37.27% of the people use 1920x1080 | 05:23 |
| nathan_ | I actually just got a 4:3 monitor from a coworker. it's really great for the kids computer | 05:23 |
| orlock | Ben64: Those poor people, not knowing any better | 05:23 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, but yeah, there is no reason at all you want a 800x600 unless your monitor (ie, not likely a tablet) is about as old as fluxbox is. | 05:24 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, what size is the tablet? | 05:24 |
| SwedeMike | orlock: or cheaply, or with good resolution. I used to have 1600x1200 19" IPS monitors, two of them. One in portrait mode, one in landscape mode. It was great to run web browser in 1200x1600. But I guess it's been replaced by 16:9 4k monitor instead. | 05:24 |
| Ben64 | 2nd place is 3840x1080, 3rd is 1366x768... all other resolutions not significant usage | 05:24 |
| orlock | Damn, thats a nice screen | 05:24 |
| nathan_ | that's an absurd screen | 05:24 |
| orlock | 1600x1200 19" | 05:24 |
| xsmltx | 10.1" nathan_ acer iconia w700 | 05:25 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, why did you go fluxbox in the first place? | 05:25 |
| xsmltx | nathan_, I like 800x600 even everything is too big, or at least 1024x768 | 05:26 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, the size of the icons has relativley little to do with teh screen resolution these days | 05:26 |
| xsmltx | nathan_, because of neat, lightweight, minimal... | 05:26 |
| ObrienDave | I withdraw my next question *cough* | 05:26 |
| rahmat | test | 05:26 |
| === me is now known as Guest99787 | ||
| xsmltx | nathan_, do you think if I would install lubuntu-core are there any chances to can use 800x600 or 1024x768 ? | 05:27 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, the problem with this is that a lot of interfaces have no concept of what size an icon should be on the screen. This is more true the more "neat, lightweight, minimal" it is. But gnome shell or unity or (maybe) kde all have support for scaled graphics | 05:28 |
| nathan_ | But the higher the resolution, the more clean the icons look, so it's a good idea to use that, and then just rescale the UI | 05:28 |
| ObrienDave | i think xfce does also, not sure | 05:28 |
| nathan_ | ObrienDave, now that would be cool. | 05:29 |
| xsmltx | Oook nathan_ then your best advice is to "rescale the UI" of the fluxbox, there is no other way to use a bigger resolution, is it right, or should I still try to find solutions regarding the resolution? | 05:30 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: why do you need a xorg.conf, didn't xrandr work? | 05:31 |
| krusade | hi everyone | 05:31 |
| alkisg | Hi krusade | 05:31 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, I've also tried with xrandr and nothing changed... | 05:32 |
| ObrienDave | nope, no icon scaling for xfce. bummer | 05:32 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: if you remove xorg.conf and reboot, what is the output of: xrandr | 05:32 |
| ObrienDave | ran mine down to 800x600 | 05:32 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, yeah, that's the best I got. You could also try xfce. I'd probably go gnome shell or unity though. But you're going to have problems with a lot of programs that expect higher resolution screens and don't even think about lowering it. | 05:32 |

| krusade | I was repeatedly getting the bsod so I switched to ubuntu. everything was fine for about a week. I put in my usb the other day and now the pc just freezes after I start it up | 05:34 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, so you did not actually install it? | 05:34 |
| krusade | I did install ubuntu | 05:34 |
| DrManhattan | is it possibl to set up ZFS during the filesystem setup in 16.04? | 05:34 |
| alkisg | krusade: do a memtest from the initial grub screen | 05:34 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, sorry I am a beginner, should I try to remove at all /etc/X11/xorg.conf, or only the content, restart and then "xrandr" ? | 05:35 |
| alkisg | krusade: if you have BSOD and freezes, it might be a hardware issue | 05:35 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, BSOD is probably a harware issue | 05:35 |
| krusade | I don't get a bsod anymore, I'm on ubuntu | 05:35 |
| krusade | the pc just freezes | 05:36 |
| xsmltx | nathan_, not using so many programs, on WIndows almost always I was happy with 800x600 on the same device | 05:36 |
| nathan_ | xsmltx, is it just one program that's clipping off the edge? or is it a lot of them? | 05:36 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, OK then -- if you actually installed to a USB you selected a very delicate install method. Why not install to the HDD? | 05:36 |
| xsmltx | nathan_, everything is to small :) | 05:36 |
| krusade | I installed using a dvd | 05:37 |
| xsmltx | All the desktop,is not fitting on the hole display | 05:37 |
| krusade | I just put in my usb to copy files onto it | 05:37 |
| cbm2000 | My wireless adaptor operates at different txpower depending on what network I connect to. On certain networks I can change it and on others nothing happens when I enter the command. Why is this? What's going on? | 05:37 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, if you fill that USB it will fail to boot | 05:37 |
| ObrienDave | does it freeze only when the USB is in? | 05:37 |
| krusade | freezes all the time | 05:38 |
| krusade | works fine for like 3 mins then freezes | 05:38 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: yes | 05:38 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, how much available space on the USB? | 05:38 |
| krusade | 32gb | 05:39 |
| ObrienDave | cbm2000, different frequency bands have different power requirements | 05:39 |
| alkisg | krusade: do try the memtest for half an hour, and if you see any red marks or crashes, check your pc hardware | 05:39 |
| krusade | how do I get access to the mem test? | 05:40 |
| ObrienDave | grub menu advanced | 05:40 |
| cbm2000 | all the networks are 2.4ghz. Does the channel matter? | 05:40 |
| alkisg | krusade: something like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/Rvv9w.png | 05:41 |
| krusade | Cool I'm doing that now | 05:41 |
| krusade | which mem test do I do? | 05:41 |
| ObrienDave | cbm2000, not usually within the same band. you might have a channel conflict nearby. try wi-fi analyzer for android phone if you can | 05:42 |

| cfhowlett | krusade, come back in 30 minutes | 05:44 |
| alkisg | krusade: then it's a hardware issue | 05:44 |
| krusade | the time is on 1:36 | 05:44 |
| alkisg | krusade: esc should reboot; if it doesn't, it's frozen | 05:44 |
| krusade | next to the word | 05:44 |
| alkisg | If it's frozen, it's a hardware issue, so no point in checking operating systems and programs, check the hardware | 05:45 |
| krusade | mem test 86 the is A rd cross flashing | 05:45 |
| krusade | red* | 05:45 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, that would be an alert of failure | 05:46 |
| krusade | that red cross is flashing and mouse lights up when I move it | 05:46 |
| krusade | hardware still? | 05:46 |
| cfhowlett | yep | 05:46 |
| krusade | ok what do I do with the hardware? | 05:46 |
| alkisg | Take it to a certified technician | 05:47 |
| cfhowlett | krusade, replace the ram | 05:47 |
| alkisg | It's not certain that it is the RAM to blame | 05:47 |
| alkisg | It might be a number of things; take it to a technician | 05:47 |
| krusade | it's 11 years old | 05:49 |
| krusade | with fixing? | 05:49 |

| orlock | krusade: I'd throw you a newer computer from the collection in the bin | 05:50 |
| alkisg | A technician will tell you how much the repair will cost | 05:50 |

| xsmltx | alkisg, before was http://pastebin.com/SYxUK7nk and now after deleting xorg and reboot http://pastebin.com/tyQQbuGx | 05:52 |
| Hund | Has anyone manage to find a workaround for the Huawei E3372 modem to work in recent versions of Ubuntu? | 05:52 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: ok, so now you have 1024x768 and you want 800x600? | 05:52 |
| xsmltx | Do you think I should also delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d to autogenerate itself? | 05:53 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: xorg.conf.d doesn't do anything in ubuntu | 05:54 |
| xsmltx | Yes alkisg, would be ok 800x600, but even now, all the scren is not displayed on full screen, is not using all the display 10.1 | 05:54 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: so if you run xrandr -s 800x600, it doesn't take the whole screen either? | 05:54 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, the only environment I have installed is fluxbox, starting from a minimal command line install of Lubuntu-core mini.iso | 05:54 |
| ObrienDave | what you're saying the 800x600 is not filling the screen? | 05:55 |
| alkisg | Some screens only do native resolution and xrandr stretching is needed for others | 05:55 |
| yancho | hi guys. anyone can offer some tips as to why I'm getting this pls? Err:4 http://mt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 udev amd64 229-4ubuntu11 Hash Sum mismatch. this is done during apt update | 05:56 |
| xsmltx | xrandr -s 800x600 done, not the whole screen either, indeed now the resolution is bigger, it has changed, but still not the whole screen | 05:56 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: do you still have a xorg.conf, as it says in your second pastebin? | 05:56 |
| alkisg | Also, what's the output of this command? lspci -nn -k | grep -A2 VGA | 05:56 |
| xsmltx | looking now... | 05:56 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, they happen. usually self-correcting but you could try switching to a different mirror. | 05:56 |
| ObrienDave | yancho, usually a repo update error. try a different repo or wait for a few hours | 05:57 |
| Gorian | Interesting. Why do most disks seem to have both /dev/disk/by-id/scsi*, and /dev/disk/by-id/wwn*? WWN = World Wide Number, like a Unique ID, right? Do only certain disks present that, and thus when they do you get it, but if you don't you still have the scsi id, or what? | 05:57 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, http://pastebin.com/V3sY7vNr the new xorg | 05:57 |
| xsmltx | after xrandr -s 800x600 | 05:57 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: so when we say "delete xorg.conf and reboot", what you understand is "use another xorg.conf"?! | 05:58 |
| yancho | cfhowlett: / ObrienDave how to change the repo ? | 05:58 |
| chipping | yancho: probably just a temporary mirror sync problem, try again in a few hours - I get the same thing sometimes with my local country mirror | 05:58 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, I did rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 05:58 |
| xsmltx | rm: remove write-protected regular file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'? | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, no no, NOT the repo! | 05:58 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, you can change the download source, aka the mirror | 05:58 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: do sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d | 05:59 |
| yancho | chipping: how to change it pls? | 05:59 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: you can't delete system files without sudo | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors | 05:59 |
| yancho | cfhowlett: yeah i meant mirror - still no coffe :) | 05:59 |
| chipping | I wouldn't, the problem will very probably correct itself | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | this ^^^^ | 05:59 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, in fact, unless you have a crying need for immediate gratification, I would wait a day | 06:00 |
| yancho | its been 2 days already | 06:00 |
| cfhowlett | ah, OK then | 06:00 |
| chipping | yancho: the file to edit is "/etc/apt/sources.list" | 06:00 |
| chipping | but do be careful :-) | 06:00 |
| xsmltx | ok alkisg, trying it now, I whant to remember you that immediately after installing the system from scratch the whole screen was used, but it was everything extremely small | 06:00 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: that was because you used 1920x1080 | 06:01 |
| cfhowlett | yancho, easiest: go to system > software settings > sources > and run the "select best mirror" utility. | 06:01 |
| xsmltx | alkisg, this is what I have w700 https://askubuntu.com/questions/263878/ubuntu-for-iconia-w700-6607/294228 | 06:01 |
| * chipping coughs | 06:01 | |
| chipping | I always forget the gui tool :-D | 06:01 |
| alkisg | xsmltx: if you switch to 800x600 without a xorg.conf, you will either get it full screen, or in a small screen. In the second case, you need to do software stretching with xrandr, if your graphics driver supports it (it's an advanced xrandr parameter). /me waves, later... | 06:01 |
| xsmltx | done sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg - rebooting | 06:02 |

| yancho | yeah cfhowlett | 06:04 |
| xsmltx | Anyone could continue please? I sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and now both xorg are empty | 06:09 |

| ornj | chipping>> yes, thank you, I think that's what I'll have to do | 07:05 |
| ornj | because even with su I am still logged in | 07:05 |
| chipping | you could maybe set a password for root then boot into single user mode as root | 07:06 |
| Charliee | and if so, can i reinstall a PPA for 16.04 into 16.10? (since many/most programs don't make 16.10 PPA yet) | 07:06 |

| Keydns | exit | 07:10 |
| chipping | Charliee: I haven't tried it myself, but I expect you'd lose the PPAs and need to re-enable them yourself | 07:10 |
| Charliee | chipping, and what do you do if they only offer PPAs for version 16.04? are those sometimes compatible with 16.10, if you reinstall them? | 07:11 |
| chipping | that really depends on the PPA — something like a GTK theme would be fine, something with binaries linked against 16.04 libs would probably not be fine :-) | 07:12 |
| Charliee | chipping, thanks for explaining :) Are there any other 'hiccups' i should be aware of for the upgrade? | 07:12 |

| daedeloth | gebruiker, to be honest I don't know what half of that stuff means, I don't see much changes to the network stack | 07:34 |
| proxx_ | FinKsu it would work but dont expect stunning performance | 07:35 |
| gebruiker | FinKsu, what changes have you made that could cause this ? Anhyway you need rw on the root and you might need the networking. Then once you have that set up you investigate the logs located in /var/log/ to figure out what is wrong | 07:35 |

| proxx_ | daedeloth why do you let dnsmasq resolv queries on localhost ? which dns server do you expect to answer | 07:44 |

| daedeloth | well for some reason this worked before :) | 07:48 |
| proxx_ | I would not recommend such setup rly, kinda lot that can go wrong | 07:48 |

| daedeloth | so I should set dnsmasq upstream to 8.8.8.8? | 07:49 |
| abhigenie92 | hi | 07:49 |
| proxx_ | just hammer in the static addr of the DNS server. you know from principle you first need routing before DNS | 07:49 |
| abhigenie92 | I was trying to upgrade form 14.04 to 16.04, using do-release-upgrade. | 07:49 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth yes just give it an upstream server | 07:49 |
| daedeloth | well if I connect to a network that blocks the google dns server, I'm screwed again | 07:50 |
| abhigenie92 | Sry I meant from 16.04 to 16.10. | 07:50 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth , you could set opendns as second | 07:50 |

| daedeloth | hm yea i guess that doesn't really happen anymore | 07:50 |
| abhigenie92 | any idea to fix this? | 07:50 |
| daedeloth | but I remember times when a provider would only allow usage of their own dns server | 07:50 |
| daedeloth | oh well I can change it when it happens | 07:51 |

| daedeloth | I haven't changed it yet | 07:51 |

| daedeloth | brb going to give it a reobot | 07:53 |
| younder | abhigenie92, The biggest difference from 14.04 to 16.04.1 is the change from upstart so systemd. So probaly this is causing the problem. Your question is to general for me to give a morespesific answer. | 07:54 |
| abhigenie92 | younder: sry that was a typo. I am upgrading from 16.04 to 16.10 | 07:54 |
| abhigenie92 | younder: please check this http://askubuntu.com/questions/838203/how-to-fix-resume-a-stopped-do-release-upgrade | 07:54 |
| daedeloth | seems to work | 07:55 |
| daedeloth | thanks :) | 07:55 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth ah thats awesome dude | 07:55 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth well done | 07:55 |
| abhigenie92 | I couldn't any answers online thus asked. :) | 07:56 |
| daedeloth | I read somewhere that something changed to the resolver so that it now treats the first reply as "the right reply", and I was checking both local dnsmasq as the dhcp provided server? I think before it fell back to the dhcp provided one in case dnsmasq could not give a valid answer | 07:57 |
| abhigenie92 | what should I do? | 07:58 |
| puff | Good evening. I'm on 14.04 LTS. Recently it's been asking me if I want to update, so finally today I said yes... and it said something about depending on apt and it's not there. Which is wrong, of course, I use apt all the time | 07:58 |
| daedeloth | apt-get remove apt ? :D | 07:59 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth well it is dirty but you could set a secundairy dns server to point to your dhcp provided addr but its nasty and slow because it will always fallback aka timeout | 07:59 |
| daedeloth | well I'm mostly wondering why it worked before (and why it's still working on my pc at home) | 08:00 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth but im sure there is some clever hack to work around this , however using fixed upstream dns is perfectly fine | 08:00 |
| abhigenie92 | is doing sudo apt dist-upgrade fine in this case? | 08:00 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth probably worked over fallback dns | 08:00 |
| daedeloth | ok cool, I'll change it there as well then | 08:00 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth this will surely be faster | 08:01 |
| abhigenie92 | hmmm.... | 08:01 |
| puff | And then I tried to run update-manager from the command-line... it says "Failed to download repository information\nCheck your internet connection." | 08:02 |
| puff | But then it generates a huge list of software updates, 876MB. | 08:02 |
| puff | This page https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts says "Warning: An earlier version of this guide included mention of Ubuntu 14.04 systems. While an upgrade from 14.04 may successfully complete, upgrades between LTS releases are not enabled by default until the first point release, and it is recommended to wait until the 16.04.1 point release to upgrade. On DigitalOcean systems, an upgrad | 08:03 |
| puff | Ubuntu 14.04 system will be left with an older kernel which may not be upgradeable for some time." | 08:03 |
| abhigenie92 | guess all questions are for the upgrade. | 08:03 |
| puff | Anyway, I guess my question is a) should I upgrade or wait and b) (assuming answer to a is "yes, upgrade now") how the heck do I get it to upgrade? | 08:05 |
| puff | Hm, "sudo do-release-upgrade"? | 08:05 |
| ppf_ | puff: the lts upgrade track is out | 08:05 |
| puff | ppf_: What does that mean? | 08:06 |
| ppf_ | you can upgrade to 16.04 | 08:06 |
| puff | ppf_: Thanks. | 08:06 |
| puff | ppf_: So should I use sudo do-release-upgrade? | 08:06 |
| ppf_ | yes, that's how you upgrade | 08:07 |
| puff | ppf_: Thanks. | 08:07 |
| Guest9283 | how is the ubuntu phone | 08:08 |
| chipping | FYI there's also a GUI for anyone who wants to upgrade but isn't comfortable with the terminal https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade | 08:08 |
| puff | Huh... So this page seems to say https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-lts | 08:10 |
| puff | Whoops. | 08:10 |
| puff | So sudo do-release-upgrade gets me "The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed." | 08:10 |
| puff | chipping: Thanks, actually I'm the other way 'round. I don't like GUIs. | 08:11 |
| puff | Hm, but I *do* have apt later than 2.3: ii apt 1.0.1ubuntu2.15 amd64 commandline package manager | 08:12 |
| === dreamon__ is now known as dreamon | ||
| chipping | um 2.3? when I run `apt --version` on 16.04 I get "apt 1.2.12" | 08:14 |
| cfhowlett | same here | 08:15 |
| puff | chipping: Really? When I run "apt --version" on 14.04 I get the standard help message because --version is apparently not a recognized option. | 08:15 |
| puff | Standard "usage" | 08:15 |
| cfhowlett | puff, apt was not present in 14.04 --- apt-get was the version | 08:16 |
| puff | Ah, the first line has the version: apt 1.0.1ubuntu2 for amd64 compiled on Sep 27 2016 09:05:53 | 08:16 |
| puff | cfhowlett: Ah, okay so... how do I upgrade, then? | 08:16 |
| Guest9283 | is this channel for technical stuff | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | puff, I'm late to the party and missed your details | 08:16 |
| cfhowlett | Guest9283, UBUNTU technical stuff, yes. | 08:16 |
| daedeloth | proxx_, it's back :( | 08:17 |
| puff | cfhowlett: 14.04 LTS, it's nudging me to upgrade to 16.04 LTS, finally decided to try it, got an error message about apt version: "The required dependency 'apt (>= 1.0.1ubuntu2.13)' is not installed." | 08:17 |
| puff | cfhowlett: Got this from the GUI at first, then again when I tried "sudo do-release-upgrade" | 08:17 |
| daedeloth | ping mail.google.com | 08:18 |
| daedeloth | ping: mail.google.com: Naam of dienst is niet bekend | 08:18 |
| akik | !info apt trusty | 08:18 |
| ubottu | apt (source: apt): commandline package manager. In component main, is important. Version 1.0.1ubuntu2.15 (trusty), package size 929 kB, installed size 3494 kB | 08:18 |
| cfhowlett | puff, ah. I think you might have missed an intermediary step: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will upgrade 14.04 to newest bits then follow with sudo do-release-upgrade | 08:18 |
| chipping | puff: I'm not sure what the issue is tbh, you're running do-release-upgrade which should be all you need :-/ | 08:18 |
| cfhowlett | true ^^^\ | 08:18 |
| puff | Okay, so dist-upgrade first, THEN release-upgrade. | 08:19 |
| puff | You'd think the tools would be smart enough to tell you that... | 08:19 |
| Charliee | what is the difference between " do-release-upgrade" and the GUI "Software Updater"? | 08:20 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, gui is prettier than the command line equivalent. | 08:20 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth oke once more , do upstream queries work directly | 08:20 |
| chipping | there shouldn't be any difference Charliee, one just has less typing :-) | 08:20 |
| daedeloth | wait I might have messed up the config | 08:20 |
| Charliee | cfhowlett, chipping , thanks | 08:21 |
| daedeloth | is it "server" or "nameserver" in dnsmasq.conf? | 08:21 |
| cfhowlett | happy2help! | 08:21 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth its "nameserver 1.2.3.4" | 08:21 |
| puff | Okay, so, waiting for the dist upgrade. I need to sleep soon, is there an option to have ubuntu download all the needed bits, but hold off on actually *doing* anything until I get back? | 08:22 |
| Charliee | hey, whenever upgrading Kernel, or also now (to 16.10) it says "not enough free space on /boot" | 08:22 |
| Charliee | is that ONLY becuase i have Full disk encryption? | 08:22 |
| Charliee | i.e. does it give that same warning for NON encrypted disks? | 08:22 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, nope. you need to clear out some kernels | 08:22 |
| daedeloth | dnsmasq: bad option at line 1 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf | 08:22 |
| daedeloth | 08:23 | |
| daedeloth | http://pastebin.com/mnSgL57g | 08:23 |
| SwedeMike | Charliee: in order to have encryption, you need unencrypted /boot, ie a separate partition. It seems this partition is now full. You need to clear out older kernels to free up space. | 08:23 |
| Charliee | cfhowlett, oh, i thought that /boot is a separate partition ONLY on FDE installs? | 08:23 |
| SwedeMike | Charliee: it's optional otherwise. It's a must if you have FDE install. | 08:23 |
| Charliee | basically, this is a BIG hangup, for me recommending Ubuntu to "regular" users | 08:24 |
| k_sze[work] | I don't understand how `dpkg --set-selections` works. | 08:24 |
| cfhowlett | over my head, but I do know that standard ubuntu partitioning assigns about a limited amount of space so running out of space is common | 08:24 |
| k_sze[work] | e.g. if I do `dpkg -l libusb*` | 08:24 |
| k_sze[work] | I see libusb-1.0.0:amd64 | 08:24 |
| Charliee | (btw, Linux Mint makes it super EASY to delete old kernels) what is the easiest GUIest way to clear old kernels in ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| k_sze[work] | but `echo 'libusb-1.0.0:amd64 hold' | sudo dpkg --set-selections` doesn't work. | 08:25 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: sudo apt-get autoremove | 08:25 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth uh I wouldnt know dnsmasq config from the top of my head , would have 2 look | 08:25 |
| k_sze[work] | dpkg says that the package is not in database | 08:25 |
| daedeloth | seems to be just "server" | 08:26 |
| Charliee | is there any way to install that Linux Mint Kernel installer/uninstaller GUI, into Ubuntu? | 08:26 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth thought you asked about resolv.conf :P | 08:26 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: maybe, but it's not supported here | 08:26 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, bad idea mixing distros | 08:26 |
| chipping | Charliee: what you want is to run apt's autoremove --purge feature, but I'm not sure how you'd do that in the GUI | 08:26 |
| daedeloth | it seems to happen after a while, as if the cache is invalid | 08:27 |
| Charliee | cfhowlett, i use the Linux Mint USB formatter in Ubuntu, works fine. for example. (or do you know another GUI for formatting USB sticks in Ubuntu?) | 08:27 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: gparted | 08:27 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, gparted | 08:27 |
| daedeloth | or, no, the cahce is valid, but the cache refresh isn't? | 08:27 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth well if dnsmasq itself is not able to query an upstream server it can only provide cache and will sorta appear to work but not for 'new' names. with nslookup somename.com localhost you can try directly | 08:29 |
| Charliee | SwedeMike, thanks. so in the standard default "one click" install (without encryption) : is /boot a separate partition? | 08:29 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: no | 08:29 |
| daedeloth | proxx_, interesting stuff: http://pastebin.com/4MpzqiyY | 08:29 |
| chipping | Charliee: nope, it's part of the default / partition on my system (completely default 16.04 install) | 08:30 |
| Charliee | Ben64, oh ok, cool. so then "joe sixpack" won't have this same headache as me (running out of space on /boot) as long as he doesnt use FDE... hmmm | 08:30 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: encryption is mainly to cause the user headaches | 08:30 |
| Charliee | sudo apt-get autoremove.... doesnt always work.... i think that only clears out OLDER than the latest 2 versions of Linux kernel?? | 08:31 |
| lostdata | hi all. I need some help. I've tried to resize my root partition using GParted. the computer got shuted down and now I can't access the home. | 08:32 |
| chipping | it's also possible to configure the unattended-upgrade feature to run a purge after any update (this is not the default behaviour for obvious safety reasons) | 08:32 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: yep, whats the problem with that | 08:32 |
| Charliee | so it is not working for me. it didnt delete anything | 08:32 |
| lostdata | There is just two files in the home. I can't recall the extention exactly. it was .h or something. | 08:32 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth what would you expect as a return ? | 08:32 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, this is still 14.04, yes? | 08:32 |
| lostdata | Gparted is currently checking the partition but I don't know if that helps. | 08:32 |
| chipping | Charliee: you probably *do* want to keep a couple of previous kernel versions though just in case | 08:32 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: if you only have room for 2 kernels you got a problem | 08:32 |
| chipping | ^^ | 08:32 |
| Charliee | cfhowlett, 16.04 | 08:33 |
| ducasse | lostdata: restore from backup | 08:33 |
| lostdata | ducasse: There's none.:( | 08:33 |
| daedeloth | xx_, well I gues it would be 172.217.17.51, not 127.0.0.1? | 08:33 |
| daedeloth | oh wrong notify | 08:33 |
| cfhowlett | Charliee, dpkg -l |grep linux-header* should return only a handful. if more, you need to manually delete | 08:33 |
| daedeloth | proxx_ | 08:33 |
| chipping | Charliee: I have 4 kernels in my /boot using 197M — out of curiosity what does `du -sh /boot` show on your system? | 08:34 |
| Charliee | chipping, Ben64 , System Monitor shows my /boot partition is 102 used out of 247MB total | 08:34 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: really small boot partition | 08:34 |
| Charliee | sorry, 133 used (102 available) | 08:34 |
| chipping | wow, 250MB partition? that seems very small | 08:34 |
| lostdata | It was at resizing stage when this happened. | 08:35 |
| Charliee | yes, it is weird: another partition "/boot/efi" is 4MB used out of 535MB total | 08:35 |
| Charliee | that was the default install, when i clicked "LUKS FDE" | 08:35 |
| ducasse | !recover | lostdata | 08:36 |
| ubottu | lostdata: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery | 08:36 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth I think we lost each other , that lookup seems fine right ? | 08:36 |
| lostdata | The important data is some text files. I don't think they can be recovered proparly. | 08:36 |
| daedeloth | I don't understand the output then :) | 08:36 |
| lostdata | They are code. They need to be exact | 08:36 |
| ducasse | lostdata: there is little else you can do, tbh | 08:37 |
| lostdata | :( | 08:37 |
| Charliee | chipping, that command shows me only 5 files that start with "linux-header" | 08:37 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth look we want to be sure of 2 things , first , does the upstream DNS server give the expected result. second can you get the same result from your dns server running on localhost , you can do 'nslookup somehost.com localhost' to check if DNSmasq gives you the expected result | 08:38 |
| Charliee | du -sh /boot ------> 128M/boot | 08:38 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: yep, your boot partition is small. you should run autoremove after every dist-upgrade | 08:38 |
| daedeloth | proxx_, ok, I'll wait until I get false responses again and run those commands | 08:39 |
| Charliee | Ben64, i do | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: problem solved | 08:39 |
| Charliee | nope | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | how nope | 08:39 |
| Charliee | Ben64, i still gotta manually delete kernels, that leaves the latest 2 | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | what's bad about that | 08:39 |
| Ben64 | it's good to have a backup | 08:39 |
| LetsEncrypt | Could anybody please recommend a softwar versioning system for Ubuntu? I was looking into Git and I like it but Git is rather made for teams. I need a Destop Versioning System for documents, texts and also for development. | 08:39 |
| Charliee | cuz it is saying that 102MB is not enough free space on /boot, to install 16.10 | 08:40 |
| LetsEncrypt | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%27s_Encrypt | 08:40 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: why do you need 16.10 | 08:40 |
| proxx_ | daedeloth ill be around if i have time, we could look further into it when you have some results :) | 08:41 |
| Charliee | ben64, i thought 16.10 is for the cool kids | 08:41 |
| Flannel | LetsEncrypt: Mercurial or SVN, the latter requires a server, but you can host that server locally. | 08:41 |
| daedeloth | proxx_, thanks for the help! | 08:41 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: the real cool kids stay on LTS versions. 16.10 loses support July 2017. 16.04 loses support April 2021 | 08:41 |
| LetsEncrypt | Flannel: And Mercurial is appropriate for single users? | 08:41 |
| Flannel | LetsEncrypt: absolutely. | 08:42 |
| LetsEncrypt | Flannel: Thx | 08:42 |
| Charliee | Ben64, by 2021, the cool kids will be living inside their VR goggles :) | 08:42 |
| lostdata | the issue seems to be blocks claimed from multiple places or something. | 08:43 |
| Charliee | Ben64, plus i just like to learn, i have always done LTS, before, and i like how 16.10 lets you need less PPA's and manual installs of programs | 08:43 |
| Flannel | Charliee: If it says you need 120MB in /boot to upgrade, it's probably telling you the truth. So you'll need to find 120MB in /boot | 08:44 |
| chipping | Charliee: I suspect your only real option here is going to be booting from something like a gparted livecd and resizing that /boot partition :-( | 08:44 |
| Charliee | Flannel, thanks, yes, i'll just delete the 2nd to newest kernel in Synaptic | 08:44 |
| Flannel | Charliee: right, that's what I'd recommend. Keep the most-recent-known-good to upgrade with. | 08:45 |
| Charliee | chipping, hmmmm, but i would first have to shrink the main LUKS partition, which sounds like a PITA | 08:45 |
| chipping | indeed | 08:46 |
| Charliee | another question: one of the main reasons, why i dont do a custom partitioning during install---- is that it is a PITA to enable auto TRIMming on LUKS partitions | 08:46 |
| Charliee | however, does the "one click" LUKS default install ENABLE this auto TRIMming (for SSDs)? | 08:47 |
| Charliee | thanks for helping me out , btw , guys | 08:48 |
| LetsEncrypt | Flannel: I was having a look at Mercurial. It is also distributed like Git. Then I might as well stay with Git. | 08:48 |
| Flannel | LetsEncrypt: SVN would be the non-distributed one. | 08:48 |
| LetsEncrypt | Flannel: Thx. Any recommendation? | 08:49 |
| Flannel | LetsEncrypt: for what? SVN? I think there's only one server (the official one). Although who knows. There's a number of frontends, some graphical, etc. But for what you're doing, the CLI one is probably sufficient. Once you've got your files setup, it's just commits whenever you want to make another rev | 08:50 |
| LetsEncrypt | Flannel: Yes, for SVN. I need something really simple and for single, desktop use only. | 08:51 |
| Charliee | does the Ubuntu default LUKS install do all this automatically: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dm-crypt/Specialties#Discard.2FTRIM_support_for_solid_state_drives_.28SSD.29 | 08:52 |
| Charliee | or are there better (easier) instructions on how to manually automate TRIM on LUKS partitions?? | 08:53 |
| chipping | LetsEncrypt: if you want something entirely offline for a single user there's always RCS https://www.gnu.org/software/rcs/ | 08:54 |
| lostdata | Gparted prints such lines: Illegal block number passed to ext2fs_test_block_bitmap #3601002943 for multiply claimed block map | 08:55 |
| chipping | fossil also has a focus on local features (although it is still distributed and designed for teams) http://fossil-scm.org/ | 08:55 |
| LetsEncrypt | chipping: thx | 08:55 |
| chipping | LetsEncrypt: honestly I'd advise you to look past the "distributed" features of mercurial or git and use them purely locally — they are by far the most popular free version control systems and you stand a much better chance of being able to get help | 08:56 |
| chipping | good luck finding someone who still remembers how to use rcs in 2016 :-) | 08:57 |

| alkisg | daedeloth: what's the output of this? grep -r . /run/resolvconf/interface | 09:02 |
| daedeloth | http://pastebin.com/ndTNUrSG | 09:02 |
| daedeloth | that 53 looks weird I guess? | 09:03 |
| alkisg | I don't see any "real" dns servers, where are those defined? | 09:03 |
| daedeloth | dnsmasq is in between | 09:04 |
| alkisg | It should have a file there for resolvconf | 09:04 |
| daedeloth | http://pastebin.com/6cUPrdLB | 09:04 |
| ub500 | hi all | 09:04 |
| ub500 | anyone here | 09:04 |
| daedeloth | alkisg, didn't get that resolvconf thing | 09:04 |
| alkisg | daedeloth: ah, you're trying to run the real dnsmasq without disabling the ubuntu-spawned one? | 09:05 |
| ub500 | Error connecting to IMAP server getting this with squirrel mail | 09:05 |
| alkisg | daedeloth: ps aux|grep dnsmasq ==>? | 09:05 |
| daedeloth | http://pastebin.com/uvvHUFTa | 09:06 |
| daedeloth | why is that there :D | 09:06 |
| alkisg | daedeloth: long sad story, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/959037 | 09:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 959037 in network-manager (Ubuntu Precise) "NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from starting" [High,Triaged] | 09:06 |
| alkisg | daedeloth: see some instructions to disable it, there: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp | 09:07 |
| daedeloth | bit strange, didn't have this before 16.10 | 09:07 |
| alkisg | Ubuntu was trying to make a better dns client and ended up breaking local dns servers | 09:07 |
| daedeloth | but thanks, I'll do some reading | 09:07 |
| alkisg | So the end result is, you can either disable the real dnsmasq, or the ubuntu spawned one, or make them cooperate, but by default, they won't work properly. | 09:08 |
| daedeloth | can't I just throw in my local address in the ubuntu spawned one? all I want is local.com domains to point to localhost | 09:08 |
| alkisg | I think that started around 14.04, so you might have had some workaround if you didn't see it; there are many ways to disable the ubuntu one | 09:09 |
| alkisg | ...why don't you put those in /etc/hosts then? why use a real dns server just for that? | 09:09 |
| m1dnight_ | Im looking for an asy way to configure sendmail (if that's needed) to send mails to my gmail. Just to daily send some info to my gmail. | 09:09 |
| m1dnight_ | I just can't find an easy to follow tutorial for sendmail. | 09:09 |
| daedeloth | well lazyness really, just wanted subdomains to automatically point to localhosts as well :) | 09:10 |
| m1dnight_ | Any good pointers to good explanations? | 09:10 |
| chipping | "easy way to configure sendmail" is a hilarious concept :-D | 09:10 |
| chipping | m1dnight_: have you looked into msmtp? | 09:10 |
| m1dnight_ | No I have not. Will do! :) | 09:10 |
| alkisg | daedeloth: I don't think the network-manager spawned dnsmasq supported configuration files or parameters | 09:10 |
| daedeloth | I'll just add the local.com domains to /etc/hosts | 09:11 |
| daedeloth | and purge dnsmasq | 09:11 |
| chipping | m1dnight_: I think it'll do what you want - it'll pretend to be a real local server but actually forward everything to (e.g. Gmail's) your SMTP server - and happily it's not insane to configure like sendmail is :-) | 09:11 |

| brunch875 | the nvidia driver available to download in their website is 364.12(beta) but my nvidia-settings reports 367.57 to be installed. Can someone un-confuse me? | 09:21 |

| evanvarvell | ok.......i have a confession ......it has been awhile since i have programed...... i might be able to write small insignificant programs......???? | 09:50 |
| joelio | multifractal: not sure what documentation you're referring to but opencv is in the xenial package repos | 09:50 |
| joelio | multifractal: doubtful you need to compile from upstream unless you're doing something esoteric, perhaps adding some GPU support or something? | 09:50 |
| multifractal | joelio I'm following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenCV | 09:50 |
| multifractal | Can I apt-get OpenCV2? | 09:51 |
| joelio | multifractal: what version of ubuntu are you on.. answer is yes if on 16.04 or later | 09:51 |
| Juz | Hi, I am searching for some help. I have done a reinstall of 16.10 on my Lenovo laptop. Since the install there has been something funny going on. I have searched the internet, but have not found anything yet. When I select shutdown from the power menu, or the dash, I get the log out/lock dialog. I cannot work out what is going well on. I can shutdown from the terminal, but that is the only way. Also, despite selecting 'do nothing' on closin | 09:51 |
| multifractal | joelio 14.04 | 09:51 |
| joelio | multifractal: actually, it's available there too http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=trusty&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=opencv | 09:52 |
| joelio | multifractal: but versions may not be latest and greatest... | 09:52 |
| multifractal | joelio That's OK. What's the difference between all of those packages? Is this the standard one? libopencv-core2.4 | 09:53 |
| joelio | multifractal: depends what you're doing, they're bindings for the library iv various different languages | 09:53 |
| joelio | s/iv/in/ | 09:53 |
| ChewbaK[m] | @juz the event "power button press" seem to be badly linked | 09:54 |

| joelio | multifractal: python-opencv | 09:55 |
| joelio | version 2.4.8 | 09:55 |
| multifractal | joelio I did that -- still `ImportError: No module named 'cv2'` | 09:55 |
| linocisco | Ben64, hi | 09:55 |
| Juz | @ChewbaK[m] is there a way to change or correct this bad link? | 09:55 |
| linocisco | your solution didn't fix me today | 09:55 |
| linocisco | Ben64, your solution didn't fix me today | 09:56 |
| linocisco | Ben64, shutdown took time again | 09:56 |
| joelio | multifractal: and that's from the system python you're using? (not anohter, via pyenv or whatever?) | 09:57 |
| multifractal | joelio: Whoops you're right it was in Anaconda Python. But when I use `python2` (2.7.6), `import cv2` gives me `libdc1394 error: Failed to initialize libdc1394` | 09:58 |
| juanonymous | Does issuing a command lsb_release returns the version of your system? | 09:58 |
| joelio | multifractal: wow, 1394 is firewire afair, maybe you just need to install that - libdc1394-22-dev | 09:59 |
| joelio | multifractal: or the master package libdc1394-22 | 09:59 |
| joelio | or both :) | 09:59 |
| evanvarvell | i have a bad flu | 10:00 |
| multifractal | Thanks joelio, your help is very much appreciated. I actually found this solution online which appears to work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12689304/ctypes-error-libdc1394-error-failed-to-initialize-libdc1394 | 10:00 |

| joelio | multifractal: great stuff, glad you got it :) | 10:01 |
| multifractal | joelio: Just out of curiosity, that fix... | 10:01 |
| Kartagis | I've made a clean install of 16.04 and there is no bluetooth. help? | 10:01 |
| multifractal | It makes a shortcut from this 'null' device to the firewire device? | 10:02 |
| evanvarvell | i don't have firewire | 10:02 |
| multifractal | evanvarvell: Phew well that's a load off my mind. | 10:02 |
| joelio | multifractal: yea, it maybe expective device nodes to exists and isn't handled gracefully in the library, so shortcutting by symlinking to /dev/null makes it pass | 10:02 |
| multifractal | joelio: Cool thanks very much. Laters. | 10:03 |
| UrsaTempest | Uh, there's command to check if an application compatible with Wine, right? What's the command? | 10:03 |
| joelio | multifractal: no worries, hope the CV goes well! | 10:03 |
| evanvarvell | what do the green letters mean? | 10:03 |
| UrsaTempest | A friend of mine want me to reinstall his OS, the problem is he run Windows XP SP3, and his hardware is, err. Rather low-spec | 10:04 |
| UrsaTempest | 250GB HDD, at most 1GB RAM... | 10:04 |
| ducasse | !wine | UrsaTempest | 10:04 |
| ubottu | UrsaTempest: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu | 10:04 |
| UrsaTempest | So I'm considering Lubuntu, but he is kinda wedded to Office 2005, and I can't be available 100% of time. So yeah. | 10:04 |
| younder | UrsaTempest, You would want 4 Gb for ubuntu, perhaps XUbuntu would work? | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | !AppDB Office 2005 | 10:05 |
| ubottu | UrsaTempest: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 10:05 |
| evanvarvell | the command be at wine comptibility list at wine website? | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | Darn | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | Sorry | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | Right, gonna check now. | 10:05 |
| brunch875 | UrsaTempest: For checking compatibility you can google 'winehq applicationname' | 10:05 |
| brunch875 | that's what I do | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | Thanks! | 10:05 |
| UrsaTempest | ...you're not bot, right brunch875? | 10:05 |
| brunch875 | not that I know :) | 10:05 |
| evanvarvell | i have windows installed | 10:06 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, have you tried LibreOffice as a replacement/ | 10:06 |
| evanvarvell | on a 500 gb hdd | 10:07 |
| UrsaTempest | /I/ can use Libreoffice and so on and so forth. | 10:07 |
| UrsaTempest | My friends not necessarily so. | 10:07 |
| Charliee | why not? | 10:07 |
| UrsaTempest | Rather new. | 10:07 |
| UrsaTempest | And I don't want to be the one that say 'You now can't use your previous software, deal with it' | 10:07 |
| brunch875 | Charliee: You'd be surprised on how hard some people cling to some specific windows programs | 10:07 |
| === lethu_ is now known as lethu | ||
| UrsaTempest | I mean, it's one thing if he comes to me asking for Linux, it's another if I recommend it to him. | 10:08 |
| bencc | is there a way to tell that a directory is tmpfs dir? | 10:08 |
| evanvarvell | i can use both | 10:08 |
| Charliee | also, WPS office is purportedly more "compatible" with M$ office, (but it's less Libre than libreoffice) | 10:08 |
| Charliee | brunch875, yes, that is why it is out job, to "carry" they over to the next thing to "cling" to, :) | 10:09 |
| Charliee | *our | 10:09 |
| UrsaTempest | I don't get paid enough for /that/ | 10:10 |
| evanvarvell | looking up ursa in the dictionary | 10:10 |
| * UrsaTempest grumbles. | 10:10 | |
| ducasse | evanvarvell: 'bear'. stay on topic, please. | 10:10 |
| Charliee | bencc, df -T | 10:10 |
| lunatix79 | tell your friend he should use office online instead | 10:10 |
| UrsaTempest | We don't live on first world, where internet is plentiful and everywhere you know :/ | 10:11 |
| UrsaTempest | Oh well. | 10:11 |
| UrsaTempest | I guess that means he'll have to keep the OS. | 10:11 |
| evanvarvell | constellations- the great bear and the little bear | 10:11 |
| bencc | Charliee: thanks | 10:12 |
| UrsaTempest | Major and Minor. It's offtopic, however. Anyway... where was I? I swear I wanted to ask something more related... | 10:12 |
| evanvarvell | ursa a she-bear | 10:12 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, yes, so try LibreOffice, then WPS, and if those don't work, fallback to M$ Office online | 10:13 |
| Charliee | also, google docs online | 10:13 |
| UrsaTempest | Eh. | 10:13 |
| UrsaTempest | Too much works. | 10:13 |
| * UrsaTempest rolls. | 10:13 | |
| Charliee | is it just M$ Word or other office apps? | 10:13 |
| evanvarvell | i have works 2004 suite | 10:14 |
| ducasse | UrsaTempest: an office package as old as that might work well, look it up. also, check out crosswire or whatever they call it. | 10:14 |
| UrsaTempest | I doubt he can afford it. | 10:14 |
| joelio | I'd definitely replace the OS, XP is well EOL | 10:14 |
| evanvarvell | crosswire is a bible scource? | 10:14 |
| UrsaTempest | Crossover, I think. | 10:15 |
| joelio | If you're only doing standard word processing and not complex macros, there's no reason libreoffice shouldn't work (imho) | 10:15 |
| Charliee | joelio, Yup | 10:15 |
| DrManhattan | Bible scource? | 10:15 |
| evanvarvell | a collection of software......bibles commentaries bible dictionaries etc etc | 10:17 |
| UrsaTempest | Yeah, but it's one thing if he ask, it's another if I recommend, etc. | 10:17 |
| ducasse | UrsaTempest: https://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=31 | 10:17 |
| joelio | it's annoying actually, as at least here in the UK, kids have been indoctrinated on MS office products and they think they always need MS Office because it's 'what they know' | 10:17 |
| UrsaTempest | That means I'll be responsible teaching him LibreOffice, and frankly I don't want to bother doing that. | 10:18 |
| UrsaTempest | Thanks ducasse | 10:18 |
| joelio | when in reality they don't even know how to properly set a semantic structure in a document, so this false ideology of ms office it kinda moot as they can't/don't use the tools properly anyway :) | 10:18 |
| evanvarvell | its a reference the comes with bible ssoftware | 10:19 |
| brunch875 | UrsaTempest: the "rating" you see is how well the application plays on wine. Mind the version too | 10:19 |
| brunch875 | As a rule of thumb, the older the program, the more time wine has had to make it work | 10:19 |
| ducasse | UrsaTempest: there are links to excel, word etc lower on the page | 10:19 |
| UrsaTempest | Hmm, yeah. | 10:20 |
| UrsaTempest | I'll need at least Word, Excel, Access to works. | 10:20 |
| brunch875 | Ironically I've had wine run some applications better than in windows | 10:20 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, you can always do BOTH OS's. i.e. give him ubuntu on a USB drive or SSD. (that is the most "comfortable" way to learn anyway. or a 2nd laptop) | 10:21 |
| evanvarvell | well there is a driver disk as well embedded on the harddrive.....wanting to copy it and make a duplisate cds or dvds | 10:21 |
| brunch875 | I would definitely install ubuntu alongside windows until he's comfortable wiping it | 10:21 |
| UrsaTempest | I doubt Ubuntu won't be used much then char | 10:21 |
| UrsaTempest | Charliee: | 10:21 |
| joelio | brunch875: I remeber reading an artice way back in the late 90's/early 00's where a comany use wine to replace their 3.1 install for linux+wine and had massive perf benefits - happens a lot :) | 10:21 |
| UrsaTempest | Wine served most of my purpose. | 10:22 |
| UrsaTempest | It can't run some of visual novel, sadly. But it's not huge priority, so no biggie. | 10:22 |
| brunch875 | Wow... to think wine is older than I am | 10:22 |
| * joelio feels old | 10:22 | |
| * ducasse too | 10:23 | |
| UrsaTempest | I'll just hope the dev re-release them on Steam so I can but those legally. | 10:23 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, or put Windows on a USB, and Ubuntu on the main HDD | 10:23 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, what is "visual novel"? | 10:23 |
| UrsaTempest | Those are fine solution if you /want/ to learn Wine, but if you don't... | 10:24 |
| UrsaTempest | Text with static pictures that changes. | 10:24 |
| evanvarvell | a story book? | 10:24 |
| brunch875 | like an interactive comic | 10:24 |
| joelio | brunch875: Wine was started on July 4 1993 - I'd be 11 then, lol | 10:25 |
| evanvarvell | i have a camera as well | 10:25 |
| UrsaTempest | Basically yeah. | 10:25 |
| Charliee | UrsaTempest, i have switched a couple people to Linux, so i know how hard it is | 10:25 |
| UrsaTempest | ~ | 10:26 |
| brunch875 | Making people switch to ubuntu is much easier if you show them fancy stuff like being able to install VLC from the software center | 10:27 |
| Charliee | bencc, grc df -Tm #even nicer | 10:27 |
| brunch875 | and how a lot of the stuff works out of the box without needing to install drivers or whatever | 10:27 |
| UrsaTempest | He... isn't exactly good computer user, he has both GOM and VLC for example... | 10:27 |
| Kartagis | I've made a clean install of 16.04 and there is no bluetooth. help? | 10:27 |
| gebruiker | anyone having issues with chrome asking for keychain password? | 10:28 |
| Charliee | one downside of VLC, it can't auto-change the Refresh Rate to the Source Video (like MPC-HC can in Windows)... or can it? | 10:29 |
| Charliee | anyone know how to do it? | 10:29 |
| UrsaTempest | Hmm. Nah, I never have your issue Kartagis. You have googled that right? | 10:29 |
| Kartagis | not really | 10:29 |
| joelio | Charliee: you wouldn't change the framerate of the source as it's set? You'd interpolate frames between | 10:29 |
| joelio | during playback | 10:30 |
| UrsaTempest | Try it first? Seems nobody active here have encountered that problem. | 10:30 |
| Charliee | joelio, change the refresh rate of the monitor/TV | 10:30 |
| Charliee | *to* the source rate | 10:30 |
| evanvarvell | be back in 1/5 hour | 10:30 |
| brunch875 | Kartagis: what do you mean by no bluetooth? | 10:30 |
| evanvarvell | be back in 1/2 hour | 10:30 |
| UrsaTempest | Oh right! | 10:31 |
| Kartagis | brunch875: no bluetooth icon in settings | 10:31 |
| UrsaTempest | I think the second or third semester there'l be Visual Basic class. Any idea what's Linux implementation of it? | 10:31 |
| joelio | Mono | 10:32 |
| Charliee | joelio, here is how to do it in Windows--- how do you do this in VLC? search this guide for "23.976hz" http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/1357375-advanced-mpc-hc-setup-guide.html | 10:32 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: you probably can't | 10:32 |
| joelio | yuk, 23.976Hz, I blame the yanks :) | 10:32 |
| Charliee | Ben64, why not? | 10:33 |
| Charliee | or is there another player besides VLC, which can do it? | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | doubtful | 10:33 |
| joelio | UrsaTempest: it's a shame visual basic being tought, would have though there's more relevant languages to get started in | 10:33 |
| joelio | Charliee: it's an X thing | 10:33 |
| UrsaTempest | Yeah, I'm surprised to. | 10:34 |
| Charliee | joelio, what is the best language to start in | 10:34 |
| UrsaTempest | I expect Java or C++ | 10:34 |
| UrsaTempest | I expect Java or C++ /after/ Visual Basic. | 10:34 |
| UrsaTempest | Dunno why. | 10:34 |
| Charliee | i've heard python or GO is the best language to learn? | 10:34 |
| UrsaTempest | Err, turns out they taught Java and/or C++ after Visual Basic | 10:34 |
| UrsaTempest | DUnno why | 10:34 |

| === charlie_ is now known as Guest41999 | ||
| Charliee | thanks for the list of video players--- which one auto-changes the refresh rate of the TV? :) | 10:37 |
| Ben64 | Charliee: none | 10:37 |
| bazhang | Charliee, none of them | 10:37 |
| bazhang | joelio, its gone far afield from ubuntu support | 10:37 |
| Charliee | hmmmm, even with tweaking/hacks? | 10:37 |
| bazhang | joelio, ##programming is more suttable | 10:38 |
| Ben64 | you can change the refresh rate yourself if you're that invested in it | 10:38 |
| joelio | bazhang: fine, I'll get on with work - helping in here becomes less fun everyday | 10:38 |
| Charliee | so if i wanted to pay to get that patch into VLC, how would i go about doing that? don't they have Bounties for that kinda stuff? | 10:38 |
| bazhang | fun is for the chat channels joelio | 10:39 |
| Charliee | what is the best Bounty website? | 10:39 |
| bazhang | Charliee, visit their channel and ask | 10:39 |
| joelio | bazhang: ok, you've just lost me on free support in this channel.. I don't come here to be told it's not fun. | 10:39 |
| ducasse | Charliee: it's difficult/impossible to do on x, is what they're saying | 10:39 |

| brunch875 | ducasse: What's missing? According to the nvidia site it supports the EGL extensions needed by mir | 10:55 |

| brunch875 | okay I'll try to log into it now. The logs will be in /var/log/somethingsomethingmir, right? | 10:59 |

| pandaadb | Hi - I believe an update to the chrome browser that happened on the 12-10-2016 has broken netflix and is causing tearing in video streams. Is there a way to roll that back for test? Sadly there are no changelogs on the web, so i don't know if that is in fact the cause | 11:00 |
| ppf_ | evanvarvell: we're the incumbents of #ubuntu | 11:00 |
| brunch875 | thanks ducasse, I'll keep an eye on it :) | 11:01 |
| ppf_ | pandaadb: try a different browser maybe | 11:01 |
| ppf_ | google doesn't ship old versions of the browser, and reasonably so | 11:01 |
| pandaadb | ppf_, firefox requires silverlight to play netflix | 11:01 |
| ppf_ | pandaadb: it shouldn't. netflix is html5 | 11:01 |
| pandaadb | okay - that might point to me having to update firefox possibly | 11:02 |
| pandaadb | because when i go to netflix and press play, it downloads an exe | 11:02 |

| brunch875 | is it safe to wipe the logs so it's cleaner to read them afterwarsd? | 11:03 |
| ppf_ | brunch875: sure | 11:03 |

| evanvarvell | silverlight is a free plugin isn't it? | 11:03 |
| ppf_ | no | 11:04 |
| ppf_ | no in the OSS meaning of 'free' | 11:04 |
| brunch875 | silverlight is flash's evil twin sister from microsoft | 11:04 |
| ppf_ | it's also a windows plugin | 11:04 |
| brunch875 | as if flash wasn't bad enough | 11:04 |
| evanvarvell | whats the cost of silverlight? | 11:04 |
| ppf_ | it doesn't cost money | 11:04 |
| pandaadb | ppf_, mhm no, it says I am on the latest version of firefox, and it prompts me to install MS Silverlight Plug-in | 11:04 |
| ppf_ | pandaadb: then something is wrong with your firefox | 11:05 |
| ppf_ | cleared it's cache already? | 11:05 |
| * pandaadb tries :) | 11:05 | |
| ppf_ | netflix is html5, otherwise chrome couldn't play it either | 11:05 |
| pandaadb | yes though i am reading an article saying that ff is only supporting that since version 49 | 11:06 |
| ppf_ | possible | 11:06 |
| * ppf_ is not a firefox user | 11:06 | |
| brainwash | firefox needs to download an extra drm module | 11:07 |
| brainwash | not sure if that happens automatically | 11:07 |
| pandaadb | brainwash, I had that with amazon video, and then it worked for amazon | 11:07 |
| evanvarvell | i am unsure of my location.....people seem stuckup here? | 11:07 |
| pandaadb | after clearing the cache it still wants me to install siverlight | 11:07 |
| ppf_ | hm, can't really help you with the firefox issue then | 11:07 |
| pandaadb | really odd, thanks anyway | 11:08 |
| pandaadb | i'll do some more reading, maybe i'll find the issue | 11:08 |
| leeyaa | hello | 11:09 |
| evanvarvell | hi | 11:09 |
| leeyaa | any idea why would initramfs fail on 14.04 LTS when trying to do apt-get upgrade ? https://bpaste.net/show/d155a128cdd9 | 11:09 |
| leeyaa | server is pretty much default | 11:10 |
| leeyaa | no 3rd party repositories | 11:10 |
| leeyaa | i need to upgrade it to 16.04 LTS, but for some reason cant even run apt-get upgrade | 11:10 |
| evanvarvell | have you read the documentation? | 11:11 |
| leeyaa | evanvarvell: i looked for similar problems. cant find anything related | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: out of space in /boot ? | 11:12 |
| evanvarvell | initialize ram file sysytem???/ | 11:12 |
| lordcirth | evanvarvell, this is #Ubuntu support channel, did you want help? | 11:12 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: dont thing so. / has 600+MB | 11:13 |
| leeyaa | think* | 11:13 |
| leeyaa | and /usr is on a separate directory | 11:13 |
| leeyaa | erm drive* | 11:13 |
| ppf_ | is /boot on the same partition? | 11:13 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: it is | 11:13 |
| lordcirth | I'm not sure if there are any logs for the initramfs builder besides /var/log/apt/term.log | 11:14 |
| leeyaa | thats the layout https://bpaste.net/show/e908fa3cb5b6 | 11:14 |
| lordcirth | leeyaa, your / is only 2GB? | 11:14 |
| leeyaa | lordcirth: yes, i keep /usr and /var/cache/apt on separate volumes usually. | 11:15 |
| leeyaa | besides, the initramfs fails, not downloading packages or extracting | 11:15 |
| ppf_ | did you install any non-standard packages? | 11:15 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: no, default repos | 11:15 |
| leeyaa | it has just mysql, pretty basic headless node | 11:16 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: what kernel you running currently | 11:16 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: its 3.13.0-44-generic | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | so you haven't updated in quite a while | 11:17 |
| leeyaa | i have the same problem on other similar nodes | 11:17 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: yes, but it is lts, i dont think thats relevant | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | it's very relevant | 11:17 |
| Ben64 | you still need to do updates on LTS | 11:17 |
| lordcirth | You're supposed to do updates still | 11:18 |
| leeyaa | thats what im doing atm. | 11:18 |
| leeyaa | so how to get pass this error ? | 11:18 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: maybe you should run a dist-upgrade | 11:18 |
| Ben64 | current version is 3.13.0-98 | 11:18 |
| leeyaa | ok lets try, its a test node anywya | 11:18 |
| ppf_ | the fuse hook belongs to fuse, not initramfs | 11:18 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: downloading atm | 11:19 |
| phenom | I can't catch a break. I'm spinning wheels squashing one bug and creating two more. | 11:19 |
| leeyaa | i actually forgot i should do dist-upgrade for kernel upgrades | 11:19 |
| lordcirth | leeyaa, since you want to be up to date for a release upgrade, you should always do a dist-upgrade first | 11:19 |
| leeyaa | lordcirth: yeah | 11:19 |
| leeyaa | nope same thing | 11:19 |
| Ben64 | but you should be doing dist-upgrade regularly anyway | 11:19 |
| ppf_ | a packaging error is not really out of the question, i don't think people test upgrade over that long distances | 11:19 |
| leeyaa | https://bpaste.net/show/3a9a6c071efb | 11:20 |
| lordcirth | phenom, 99 bugs in the code, fix one bug, pass it around, 101 little bugs in the code... | 11:20 |
| ppf_ | dist-upgrade is not about kernel upgrades | 11:20 |
| phenom | What is the MOST supported Thinkpad? Because canonical and Lenovo saw fit to exclude only my x220 from official certification. | 11:20 |
| Ben64 | ppf_: yes it is | 11:20 |
| lordcirth | Kernel upgrades are the main thing it does. There's a few others. | 11:20 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: main thing it does is to handle kernel changes | 11:20 |
| leeyaa | but it is not limited to | 11:21 |
| ppf_ | Ben64: dist-upgrades upgrades packages that add new dependencies and kernels | 11:21 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: was that paste from dist-upgrade? | 11:21 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: yes, thats from dist-upgrade. i can give the full log if that will help | 11:21 |
| kristhian | how do i know if there is a mail server installed in the system? | 11:22 |
| kristhian | what command to use? | 11:22 |
| leeyaa | kristhian: look for something listening on mail ports | 11:22 |
| mauroacs | Bom Dia | 11:23 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: last time i tried to debug this i got to a log that says some hook fails, but cant figure out why | 11:23 |
| phenom | lordcirth, Right. Unfortunately mine is a critical one. I'm stuck reverting to 14.04 for now it seems. | 11:23 |

| evanvarvell | as a maintainer of a system.....don't you get mail frequently? | 11:23 |
| phenom | Updated the Firmware for my SSD last night and now instead of my system freezing,, it hard resets. | 11:24 |
| phenom | I'll try to reinstall 16.04 one more time. | 11:25 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: i think this is the step that fails https://bpaste.net/show/ba0b980873d5 | 11:25 |
| phenom | Does anyone actualy recommend tweaking Trim settings 16.04 onward? I know it executes trim weekly but would you all consider that enough? | 11:25 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: you could try to chmod 000 or delete the fuse file, but i'm unsure how that would affect boot | 11:26 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: i can do that on the test nodes, but without knowing the real affect it is probably not a good idea | 11:27 |
| lordcirth | phenom, why wouldn't it be enough? Do you regularly make and delete a lot of files a day? | 11:27 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: it won't let the initram mount fuse stuff | 11:27 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: what is fuse used for ? | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | stuff like when you plug an external drive in and it automounts | 11:28 |
| lordcirth | !fuse | leeyaa | 11:28 |
| ubottu | leeyaa: FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs. A full list of Filesystems that use FUSE is here: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems | 11:28 |
| leeyaa | i dont need that | 11:28 |
| leeyaa | its a headless vm | 11:28 |
| lordcirth | also sshfs and stuff | 11:28 |
| Ben64 | in theory sure | 11:28 |
| leeyaa | hm | 11:29 |
| leeyaa | well ill try it on the test node, see if the upgrade passes | 11:29 |
| Ben64 | could also disable the fuse file for a bit, do upgrades, then re-enable and try to re-build initramfs manually | 11:29 |
| phenom | lordcirth, no but there is something seemingly going on related to it. Appears running trim at boot and daily kept my system from freezing, so I tried to upgrade the FW on my POS Samdung EVO 840 and now it hard crashes. | 11:29 |
| leeyaa | and can reinstall fuse later or something | 11:29 |
| leeyaa | exactly | 11:29 |
| phenom | I tried a memory test etc. | 11:29 |
| phenom | 6 hrs | 11:29 |
| lordcirth | phenom, my 840 Evo works perfectly. | 11:29 |
| phenom | !trim | 11:29 |
| ubottu | Many Solid State Drives support TRIM, which allows the drive to do garbage collection and improves performance. Ubuntu 14.04 activates it by default. For older versions, see http://askubuntu.com/a/19480 for information on activating it. | 11:29 |
| phenom | lordcirth, On 16.04? | 11:30 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: "sudo update-initramfs -u" will attempt to build it | 11:30 |
| phenom | can you check the FW version please? | 11:30 |
| brunch875 | /var/log/auth.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23338207/ | 11:30 |

| kristhian | am i correct? | 11:30 |
| brunch875 | that's how unity8 fails to launch | 11:30 |
| phenom | lordcirth, It worked great on 14.04 | 11:30 |
| phenom | can you check the FW version please? sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | 11:30 |
| BluesKaj_ | Hiyas all | 11:31 |
| phenom | I am now on EXT0DB6Q | 11:31 |
| lordcirth | phenom, Firmware Revision: EXT0CB6Q | 11:31 |
| lordcirth | D -> C | 11:31 |
| phenom | You may have an update, I don't recommend it. | 11:32 |
| lordcirth | Which is newer? horrible numbering scheme | 11:32 |
| phenom | pffft lol | 11:32 |
| phenom | I just upgraded mine | 11:32 |
| phenom | last night so I'd imagine mine is. | 11:32 |
| lordcirth | Ah ok | 11:32 |
| leeyaa | kristhian: partially yes, there are more | 11:32 |
| kristhian | ok | 11:33 |
| phenom | There were issues with ours. If you try to use discard, it won't let you boot. | 11:33 |
| lordcirth | I remember I saw the article about needing the firmware update to avoid the bug, so I got the tool, and turned out it was already patched | 11:33 |
| phenom | among other things. | 11:33 |
| leeyaa | thanks Ben64 will let you know in a bit if that works out | 11:33 |
| lordcirth | Came from the store with the fix. | 11:33 |
| lordcirth | phenom, iirc I used discard on btrfs on it before. | 11:33 |
| phenom | lordcirth, I used discard too on 14.04, but oon 16.04 it will prevent the system from booting. | 11:34 |
| lordcirth | Interesting. I will avoid that then. | 11:34 |

| phenom | I've read the whole bug tracker and I can't figure out exactly if we were good to upgrade or what. | 11:34 |
| kristhian | btw leeyaa if it says that it is filtered and not opened? | 11:35 |
| kristhian | what are the chances that i could use the service hence i am shell user only | 11:35 |
| kristhian | since | 11:35 |
| Ben64 | filtered = blocked | 11:35 |
| kristhian | so meaning i could not use that at all | 11:35 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: it is not just the fuse hook, /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ntfs_3g fails too ;p | 11:35 |
| brainwash | brunch875: next step would be to check launchpad for existing bug reports which mention that error message | 11:36 |
| Ben64 | leeyaa: similar | 11:36 |
| phenom | lordcirth, It was working greatt for me too, that samdung comment wasn't entirely warranted, but how they treated this bug is. | 11:36 |
| === shiva is now known as Guest82175 | ||
| brainwash | brunch875: also, I think you should head over to #ubuntu-mir and/or #ubuntu-unity | 11:36 |
| phenom | Instead of samsung fixing it, they removed the tool to upgrade the SSD | 11:36 |
| brunch875 | brainwash: I take it the most relevant line would be "Failed to find platform for current system" | 11:36 |
| brunch875 | yes, indeed :) | 11:36 |
| phenom | there was a linux "magician" terminal client. | 11:37 |
| brainwash | brunch875: I think that this line is the important one too | 11:37 |
| brunch875 | thanks guys! I'll continue at it after lunch | 11:38 |
| phenom | lordcirth, You didn't tweak any trim settings yet correct? | 11:38 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: well i moved the whole hooks dir lel | 11:38 |
| leeyaa | at least it can do the upgrade now | 11:38 |
| lordcirth | phenom, not on this install, no | 11:38 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: that sounds dangerous | 11:39 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: its a test server | 11:39 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: i have no idea how to go around this otherwise | 11:39 |
| lordcirth | phenom, I think back then I had to download a freedos usb stick to upgrade firmware | 11:39 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: im not even sure if it is a packaging bug or not | 11:40 |
| phenom | lordcirth, ah yea. I may try that way just in case the update failed or some mess. | 11:40 |
| leeyaa | it is silly really, ive upgraded lots of 12.04 to next releases up to 16.04 and now 14.04 to 16.04 give me headaches -.- | 11:41 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: i don't really know. these hooks don't really do that much | 11:41 |
| ppf_ | copying files and creating symlinks mostly | 11:42 |
| leeyaa | ppf_: i might report it later if i get the time | 11:43 |
| Ben64 | i don't think it's a bug | 11:43 |
| leeyaa | cause its lts - you should be able to upgrade | 11:43 |
| Ben64 | i have plenty of 14.04 systems that work fine | 11:44 |
| phenom | brb, thx lordcirth | 11:44 |
| ppf_ | you should debug the problem further than | 11:44 |
| ppf_ | *then | 11:44 |
| phenom | lordcirth, please stay away from the update. :) | 11:44 |
| leeyaa | Ben64: me too | 11:44 |
| leeyaa | only a few sql nodes give me troubles, all are vmware based | 11:45 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: hoping dpkg doesn't eat stdou/stderr: in all the hook scripts, add a set -x | 11:45 |
| ppf_ | (maybe keep a backup around) | 11:45 |
| leeyaa | i might just provision new nodes. we need to upgrade prod servers and i cant relay on hacky patches | 11:46 |
| ppf_ | leeyaa: that's not a fix, it's a way to debug what is really going wrong | 11:46 |
| === papa is now known as Guest35840 | ||
| leeyaa | could vm being vmware guest be related to this ? | 11:47 |
| ppf_ | i think it's unlikely | 11:47 |
| ppf_ | i'm curious about this, though | 11:48 |
| ppf_ | reinstall the hooks, add the -x, rerun update-initramfs | 11:48 |
| ppf_ | i gotta go give a lecture though, back in a while | 11:48 |
| leeyaa | see you around | 11:49 |

| GrandPa-G | I am confused as to how to configure a service so that it will automatically restart if the first service is stopped or restarted. | 13:58 |
| lugarius | fumblehool corrupted sdcards are bad, do you need to recover files? | 13:59 |
| GrandPa-G | I have After and PartOf in second service configuration referencing first service. | 13:59 |
| lugarius | eles just format it | 13:59 |
| cerion | fumblehool: throw it to the bin ? | 13:59 |
| lugarius | cerion nah | 13:59 |
| lugarius | reformating with gparted helps everytime | 14:00 |
| fumblehool | @lugarius I don't want to recover data. I just want to format it but I am not able to do this in gparted | 14:00 |
| lugarius | huh, thats strange | 14:00 |
| lugarius | than cerion might be right | 14:01 |
| fumblehool | @cerion I want to give a shot at reviving it | 14:01 |
| lugarius | wait | 14:01 |
| lugarius | maybe you could make a new partition table | 14:01 |
| fumblehool | @lugarius Creating a new partition table option in gparted gives me following error, " Libparted Bug Found! Input/Output error during read on /dev/sdb" | 14:03 |
| fumblehool | Is it time to bury this sd card? | 14:04 |
| lugarius | ok, then your card or your cardrader is broken | 14:04 |
| younder | If you had used etckeeper you could just revert to a version that works.. | 14:04 |
| lugarius | try formating it with an android device, another reader, or put a super-magnet on your card | 14:04 |
| fumblehool | @lugarius I have checked, the cardreader is working fine. Let me try it in some android device | 14:05 |

| GrandPa-G | Say I have two services, foo and bar. I want to have bar stop and or start if foo ever stops and or starts. | 14:17 |

| NoImNotNineVolt | if you don't find the xmodmap solution acceptable [for apparently unstated reasons], you'll likely run into the same problem if you find an alternate solution, since it seems something is clobbering your keymaps. | 14:36 |

| fooman | Hello. Just for a test I would like to know, if I put the same couple "private and public ssh key" on all the machines of a cluster. Do they be able to connect to each other without password request ? | 16:13 |
| ppf_ | fooman: if a user can log in with a key is determined by that user's authorized_keys configuration | 16:14 |
| fabrizio_ | ciao a tutti | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | fooman, easy to find, in the ssl manual howto disable password and keys only | 16:15 |
| jacalope | I feel like one of the primitive humans on 2001, and my laptop has become the strange, black obelisk on the hilltop. | 16:15 |
| ppf_ | fooman: it doesn't matter what the keys are, as long as the authorized_keys file matches | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | sshttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 16:15 |
| ppf_ | being passwordless or not is a property of the key, not the login procedure | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | ppf_, loginprocedure ( read configuration) server side it is. | 16:17 |
| fooman | ppf_: Ok so imagine on one machine I generate an ssh key. Then I ssh-copy-id root@locahost. Then I copy the .ssh of this machine directory to all the machines of the cluster. Do they be able to connect to each other without password request ? | 16:17 |
| mrabhi | k1l_, I booted in recovery, select resume normal boot. And it works from there. But now I boot again without recovery same error. | 16:17 |
| mrabhi | any ideas why? what? | 16:18 |
| ppf_ | the ssh-copy-id bit is a bit weird, but yes | 16:19 |
| ppf_ | given that the key is passwordless, of course | 16:19 |
| ppf_ | OerHeks: i don't follow? | 16:19 |
| OerHeks | "key passwordless" ?? | 16:20 |
| ppf_ | ssh keys are usually password protected | 16:20 |
| OerHeks | it is just a server-side configuration, key or password or both | 16:20 |
| ppf_ | OerHeks: we're talking just about key authentication here | 16:21 |
| ppf_ | if you disable password-login on the sshd or not is orthogonal to that | 16:21 |
| * OerHeks facepalms | 16:21 | |
| fooman | ppf_: yes the key is password less. I tried what I explained and I seems doesn't work. Each machine can connect to the machine where the .ssh folder comes from without any password, but other connection request a "yes" then a password. | 16:22 |
| ppf_ | OerHeks: elaborate? :) | 16:23 |
| fooman | ppf_: "other connections" means other machines between themselves | 16:23 |
| ppf_ | fooman: did you use the same user everywhere? | 16:23 |
| fooman | yes root everywhere | 16:23 |
| ouroumov_ | fooman, check out the ~/.ssh/sshd_config on that machine, see if the "allowusers" directive is uncommented | 16:23 |
| ppf_ | fooman: did you distribute the private key? | 16:23 |
| fooman | ppf_: yes the entire .ssh folder | 16:24 |

| alkisg | Let's see | 16:27 |

| jacalope | alkisg: bless you, thanks! | 16:31 |
| alkisg | jacalope: although, if it's an upstream kernel bug, it should be reported in the kernel bug tracker, not in a distro-specific tracker like ubuntu... | 16:31 |
| ppf_ | fooman: paste the output of ssh -v [...] please | 16:32 |
| ppf_ | you can remove sensitive information of course | 16:32 |
| alkisg | jacalope: I would try with another distro, and if the same thing happens there, I would try the kernel mailing lists or bug tracker | 16:32 |
| jacalope | alkisg: ok, I'll keep that in mind. | 16:32 |
| L72g5sSq | ppf_: Should I just upgrade to 16.04 or do a fresh install? I wonder how much of my stuff will break during the upgrade | 16:32 |
| ppf_ | L72g5sSq: the upgrade is stable | 16:32 |
| L72g5sSq | Okay | 16:32 |
| L72g5sSq | I'm nervous though | 16:33 |
| ppf_ | meaning it works most of the time :) | 16:33 |
| wafflejock | L72g5sSq, back up :) | 16:33 |
| jacalope | alkisg: It's been an intermittant problem...only happens once every 10 or so "resume" steps | 16:33 |
| ppf_ | back up your precious things first | 16:33 |
| L72g5sSq | All my stuff is on the cloud, not worried about my data | 16:33 |
| ouroumov_ | So what's to be nervous about ~ | 16:33 |
| wafflejock | L72g5sSq, personally just use clonezilla to snap a copy of the whole disk before I do anything "major" then fast to roll back | 16:33 |
| L72g5sSq | More worried about my dmenu, gnome classic fallback, etc. | 16:33 |
| alkisg | L72g5sSq: if you boot from a live cd, you can cp -a /old-installation /backup-dir, before upgrading, so that you can easily revert if something goes wrong | 16:34 |

| fooman | It'is not possible to automatically answer "yes" ? I need to script everything. I cannot enter yes for each host between each host | 16:41 |
| ppf_ | you can use ssh-keyscan to gather all the host keys | 16:41 |
| alkisg | fooman: you can use ssh_keyscan > known_hosts, or you can just cp known_hosts along with the other files | 16:42 |
| fooman | ppf_: The size of the cluster is not static, some host can be created or destroyed during the life of the cluster | 16:42 |
| alkisg | fooman: if you really don't care about security, you can also disable host key checking in your ssh config | 16:43 |
| ppf_ | the cluster manager should be able to tell you the host keys | 16:43 |
| ppf_ | or that | 16:43 |
| fooman | alkisg: I would like that only the machines from my cluster can ssh each other without password request. External machines must not be allowed to connect :( | 16:44 |
| alkisg | fooman: that's a client side configuration setting, not a server side | 16:45 |
| alkisg | (the "yes" part) | 16:45 |
| ppf_ | that's maybe a firewall job | 16:45 |

| gray | Lemmie get it for you | 17:22 |
| ppf_ | amdgpu is the right driver | 17:22 |
| ppf_ | so let's figure out why it doesn't install for you | 17:22 |
| gray | ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/amdgpu-pro-uninstall': File exists | 17:23 |
| ppf_ | you've installed it before? | 17:23 |
| gray | Nope. This is a fresh install of ubuntu. | 17:24 |
| gray | Drive should be wiped. | 17:24 |
| ppf_ | why install the driver by hand and not use the repo version? | 17:24 |
| gray | Because this was the only would I could find when I googled it. <.< | 17:24 |
| ppf_ | dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu | 17:25 |
| ppf_ | probably that's even shipped with a default install | 17:25 |
| gray | Appears to be installed, yes. | 17:26 |
| ppf_ | then you're good, probably? | 17:26 |
| gray | Possibly. Is there a control panel for this thing, then? <.< | 17:26 |
| ppf_ | i need to go home now, be back in a bit | 17:26 |

| ppf_ | what do you need to control? | 17:26 |
| gray | Want to make my main monitor display at 120hz. | 17:27 |
| ppf_ | tried the monitor settings? | 17:27 |
| gray | I believe so. That just gives me stuff for the resolution. | 17:27 |
| ppf_ | don't knoiw how to get there in unity, though ... open the menu, type monitor | 17:27 |
| gray | "screen display", right? | 17:28 |

| atralheaven_ | I want to use SD cards because they're cheap, portable, and also easy to hide and if necessary, destroy. its hard to erase unencrypted data on SD cards, so I want to use full disk encryption from beginning. | 17:31 |

| younder | for example | 18:15 |
| nacc | younder: but i assume that rstview is launching the browser *locally* ? | 18:16 |

| TI-1795 | nacc: By "the API" I mean the API of the site that needs the form data. | 18:16 |
| TI-1795 | nacc: The site provides a way to integrate form data, so that it automatically submits to the site, so that when you login it is there. This greatly cuts down on manual data transfer. | 18:18 |
| nacc | TI-1795: i'm not saying it's 'dumb' in and of itself. And younder is providing some examples that indicate maybe it's common (although I'm curious if the browser is run on the server in either case).

Does that make sense? Again, is that dumb? | 18:31 |

| quantibility | xfce4 came with xubuntu.. and i was a newbie back then | 18:35 |
| Noidea | Oh My GOD! I am new to all this stuff, I have no idea what those are. | 18:35 |
| codfection | Noidea, what are you using to chat here? | 18:35 |
| quantibility | Noidea, i have the same issue and i have had this over 1 and half years | 18:35 |
| MonkeyDust | Noidea this is ubuntu support, ask your ubuntu questions here | 18:36 |
| Noidea | Its raspberry Pi3 I am using and something named HexChat | 18:36 |
| quantibility | MonkeyDust, im planning on making the switch | 18:36 |
| nicomachus | Noidea: hexchat is an IRC application. You can find more info in the #hexchat channel. You can join that by typing '/join #hexchat' | 18:36 |
| \9 | Noidea: hexchat is a irc (=internet relay chat) client. this is real-time chat | 18:36 |
| MonkeyDust | quantibility kwin is part of kde (kubuntu, if you like) | 18:36 |
| \9 | Noidea: topic in here is ubuntu support | 18:37 |
| k1l_ | Noidea: this is the IRC ubuntu technical support. see the message from the bot (ubottu) if you want to read about what irc is and what rules we have here. | 18:37 |
| quantibility | well another reason i want to change distro is because i want the USER errors i made fixed.. | 18:37 |
| BluesKaj_ | [\0 | 18:37 |
| * quantibility dumb | 18:37 | |
| Noidea | ubuntu - Topic, so any idea about overclocking the raspberry pi using ubuntu mate | 18:37 |
| quantibility | lol | 18:37 |
| codfection | Noidea, so you are not using ubuntu and asking questions here? that might get you kick or ban. please read the topic | 18:38 |
| quantibility | when it came to windows i was a wiz.. now im trying to be a wiz in linux | 18:38 |
| MonkeyDust | quantibility not dumb, exploring | 18:38 |

| baxt_ | anyone really know there shiz with ubuntu, im looking to install to a dell l702x xps 17. but i want it to be basic command line only | 18:38 |
| codfection | Noidea, in raspberry pi3? | 18:38 |
| Noidea | but this is my first time in ubuntu and i have no idea about it. | 18:38 |
| Noidea | yes | 18:38 |
| quantibility | MonkeyDust, in reality however i really want to look into the Source code and start changing things around ya know.. but i really want a system that is truely mine | 18:38 |
| MonkeyDust | !mini | baxt_ | 18:38 |
| ubottu | baxt_: 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 | 18:38 |
| BluesKaj_ | Noidea whynot joij=n #raspberrypi and ask there | 18:38 |
| Noidea | codfection:Yes | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj_ | join | 18:39 |
| codfection | is there ubuntu for raspberry pi3? :O | 18:39 |
| Noidea | yes its Ubuntu mate ,its avalable noe | 18:39 |
| MonkeyDust | codfection there's #ubuntu-arm | 18:39 |
| k1l_ | Noidea: for that specific questions about raspberry pi you might want to ask the specialists in #raspberrypi | 18:39 |
| quantibility | so kubuntu comes prepackaged with kwin? and Ubuntu is just like a skeleton for the extra cool stuff?? | 18:39 |
| Noidea | ok K1l_ | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj_ | codfection, yes ubuntu-mate | 18:39 |
| \9 | quantibility: ubuntu is a complete operating system with a fancy desktop called unity | 18:40 |
| Noidea | ok people , tell me about ubuntu, how is it different from windows and all. | 18:40 |
| \9 | quantibility: kubuntu is ubuntu except with unity replaced with kde plasma (including kwin) | 18:40 |
| MonkeyDust | quantibility note the word 'complete' in \9 post :p | 18:40 |
| quantibility | Noidea, theres a huge difference, 1 (which i like) hardly any viruses | 18:40 |
| \9 | quantibility: xubuntu is ubuntu except unity replaced with xfce, etc | 18:40 |
| Noidea | so if we rate: whats better Windows or Ubuntu? | 18:41 |
| baxt_ | Noidea: for what | 18:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Noidea what you like more, is better | 18:41 |
| \9 | Noidea: you ask that in #ubuntu? you know what the answer is going to be | 18:41 |
| Soul_Sample | did a fresh install of 16.04 and now steam creates a desktop icon everytime I launch it, does anyone know why? | 18:41 |
| baxt_ | if its taming well windows but everthin else linux | 18:41 |

| Noidea | brilliant, thanks! | 18:41 |

| k1l_ | Noidea: we focus on plain technical issues in here | 18:41 |
| codfection | I see | 18:41 |
| MonkeyDust | Noidea and define 'better' | 18:41 |
| quantibility | Noidea, depends on you. however if you want flexibility linux is the way to go | 18:41 |
| kindness | quantibility, whats the less buggy os? | 18:42 |
| basheba | You aren't comparing apples to apples Noidea. That's like asking which is better Beef or fruit | 18:42 |
| quantibility | LOL kindness LINUX | 18:42 |
| quantibility | lol | 18:42 |
| codfection | Noidea, !better | 18:42 |
| MonkeyDust | !best | 18:42 |
| \9 | i think we're heading way off topic here | 18:42 |
| quantibility | linux is so stable and if user error wasn't an issue it stay on forever | 18:42 |
| Noidea | so its there any channel where I can learn about Raspberry Pi and about Science? Thanks and I wont bother you guys | 18:42 |
| basheba | two totally different worlds Noidea just b/c they are both food, doesn't mean it's the same food family | 18:43 |
| kindness | quantibility, how many os have u tried so far? | 18:43 |
| quantibility | Noidea, MonkeyDust gave you an answer to that | 18:43 |
| quantibility | for linux kindness ? | 18:43 |
| codfection | quantibility, not necessarily, sometimes ubuntu 16.04 stops responding for me. (not sure about others) | 18:43 |
| kindness | os is operating system | 18:43 |
| k1l_ | !ot | kindness | 18:43 |
| ubottu | kindness: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:43 |
| baxt_ | noidea: i pm u | 18:43 |
| quantibility | codfection i never said ubuntu specifically, linux was more the general term | 18:43 |
| Pici | Noidea: theres #raspberrypi | 18:44 |
| codfection | well ubuntu is linux | 18:44 |
| k1l_ | same goes for quantibility and codfection | 18:44 |
| k1l_ | Noidea: the hashtags are channels on irc. so join the #raspberrypi channel to talk about the rpi specifics | 18:44 |
| quantibility | type /join #raspberrypi | 18:45 |
| gray | So, steam isn't working. :( | 18:45 |
| quantibility | kindness, i have tired nearly all windows distributions and some linux distros.. im happy with ubuntu based os's | 18:46 |
| kindness | quantibility, i am on #ubuntu-offtopic | 18:46 |
| quantibility | actually im still wanting to figure out this issue with ubuntu installtions over xubuntu | 18:47 |
| ppf_ | quantibility: why install it 'over' | 18:47 |
| quantibility | should i go with ubuntu anyhow and just install what i want from there? | 18:47 |
| quantibility | cause i have xubuntu | 18:48 |
| Noidea | I tried joining #raspberrypi, nothing happened. | 18:48 |
| ppf_ | okay. so? | 18:48 |
| codfection | quantibility, you need to install unity then | 18:48 |
| gray | Does anyone know how to get Steam working? This is killing me. | 18:48 |
| codfection | gray, what error? | 18:48 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: you can install a minimal system and install what you want/need from there. but you can remove xfce and install ubuntu-desktop on the xubuntu install, too. | 18:48 |
| quantibility | codfection, ?? that would make xubuntu ubuntu? | 18:48 |
| gray | There's no error, it just starts and then flashes for a bit and then closes. | 18:48 |
| codfection | then log into ubuntu and remove xubuntu desktop | 18:48 |
| ppf_ | gray: if you run it in a termina/ | 18:49 |
| ppf_ | l? | 18:49 |
| codfection | gray, you dont have necessary dependencies installed. | 18:49 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: all *ubuntus share the same codebase. yes. if you install ubuntu-desktop package you get a ubuntu install, if it was a xubuntu before | 18:49 |
| codfection | for steam native | 18:49 |
| quantibility | hmm | 18:49 |
| gray | What's the command to run steam, then? | 18:49 |
| gray | exec steam? :v | 18:49 |
| quantibility | and to fix my folder name problem i have to get rid of my copied folder (by accident) and go through the process again of logging into another account ? | 18:50 |
| ppf_ | 'steam' | 18:50 |
| quantibility | cause that crap took forever lol | 18:50 |
| ppf_ | if it's in your PATH | 18:50 |
| ppf_ | otherwise /path/to/steam | 18:50 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: what folder name problem? | 18:51 |
| gray | ppf_ , http://pastebin.com/CPuL6CCx | 18:51 |
| ppf_ | gray: run LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose steam | 18:52 |
| Soul_Sample | can I somehow easiyl remove all steam configurations but keep my installed games? whenver I run steam it creates a new desktop icon for itself, and I think resetting everything would help. i just don't want to download 100gigs of games again | 18:52 |
| quantibility | well i wanted to keep the my current screen btw as my freaking folder name.. and i tired changing it all sorts of ways except the right way and i have had issues since with permissons and have had IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root! | 18:52 |
| quantibility | warnings since | 18:52 |
| Soul_Sample | i know I can backup steamapps but will steam find them after? | 18:52 |
| Equinoctis | Hi im looking for someone that can help me with umask | 18:52 |
| quantibility | my current screen name | 18:52 |

| quantibility | ok can Kwin install on Xubuntu? | 18:53 |
| Keydns | exit | 18:53 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: "wanted to keep the current screen name" so you made a typo when installing the system and creating that account? | 18:53 |
| quantibility | yeah | 18:54 |
| quantibility | k1l_, yes exactly | 18:54 |
| quantibility | i never noticed untill recently | 18:54 |
| ppf_ | gray: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48994 | 18:54 |
| ppf_ | gray: give their solution a try | 18:54 |
| quantibility | but i have the copied folder (by accident mind you) and i am just tired of trying to fix this issue | 18:54 |
| quantibility | with the proper name | 18:55 |
| ronaldsmazitis | at 14.04 You could place icons on screen, and they would not loose there place, now they are placed aligned always | 18:55 |
| ronaldsmazitis | 16.04 | 18:55 |
| toeshred | what init does ubuntu 16.04 use? | 18:55 |
| ronaldsmazitis | why is that? | 18:55 |
| ppf_ | toeshred: systemd | 18:55 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: i think using usermod would be the proper way. | 18:55 |
| ronaldsmazitis | if Nautilus does not do it's thing as screen keeper, there is no use for desktop icons | 18:55 |
| wafflejock | Soul_Sample, something like described here worked for me when moving my steam lib http://askubuntu.com/questions/260288/how-can-i-change-where-steam-installs-games | 18:55 |
| gray | Seems to be launching at least. Thanks! :D | 18:56 |
| ppf_ | welcome | 18:56 |
| ronaldsmazitis | I made decision to move to openbox, since Unity lost it's ability to keep icons in place | 18:56 |
| quantibility | k1l_, well, i don't know maybe its a moot point. cause its amazingly hard | 18:56 |
| ronaldsmazitis | plus it's faster, except for window size placement | 18:56 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: not tested, but this should work: sudo usermod -d /home/name2 -m -g name2 -l name2 name1. | 18:58 |
| codfection | ronaldsmazitis, well so? its not a support related question. see !topic | 18:58 |
| ronaldsmazitis | I just wanted to get icon placement back | 18:58 |
| quantibility | k1l_, wow ok ill give that a shot.. | 18:58 |
| codfection | gray, seems like missing dependencies | 18:58 |
| quantibility | name2 is my old name right? | 18:58 |
| quantibility | or new one? | 18:58 |
| k1l_ | no, name2 is the new name. name1 is the actual used username | 18:59 |
| quantibility | ok | 18:59 |
| ppf_ | codfection: steam ships a couple of dependencies. sometimes they're incompatible with the system version | 18:59 |
| codfection | ppf_, yea exactly | 18:59 |
| codfection | so I override the ones in my system | 18:59 |
| ppf_ | you can just remove steams version | 18:59 |

| quantibility | you see what im saying there? k1l_ ? | 19:04 |
| OerHeks | ubuntunoobhelp, 1. maybe you have 4 primairy partitions alrady, boot the live session and see with the disk utility | 19:04 |
| OerHeks | c/already | 19:04 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: hmm. so you changed your user name already but didnt change the users home directory? my command would have done all in one go. renaming the user and the home folder and changing all file permissions to match the new one. | 19:04 |
| ubuntunoobhelp | i have do idea what that means @OerHeks | 19:05 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: so you seem to have done some things already? | 19:05 |
| ubuntunoobhelp | *no | 19:05 |
| quantibility | i haven't pressed enter yet | 19:05 |

| quantibility | i haven't done much of anything | 19:06 |
| ppf_ | codfection: interesting. run the command i suggested to gray before | 19:06 |
| quantibility | the name of the other folder (one created by accident, sorta like a back up now thank god) is the same name | 19:06 |
| quantibility | but its not my home folder so i can just change name correct? | 19:07 |
| quantibility | im thinking i should to be safe | 19:07 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: details matter. as i said: if you have username1 as username and username1 as home folder my command will make the full package like you never have made the typo and used username2 on ubuntu install. | 19:08 |

| Jakey3 | how do i setup a container in lxd and ssh into into it from another network | 19:12 |
| ppf_ | codfection: remove /home/codfection/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | 19:12 |
| ppf_ | or move it away | 19:12 |
| ppf_ | for backup :) | 19:12 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: that's really two different questions | 19:12 |
| quantibility | k1l_, my user name the one displayed is correct, but the folder is the wrong name | 19:12 |
| Jakey3 | the first part i know | 19:12 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: can you run "ls -al /home | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the url? | 19:12 |
| quantibility | or am i getting it wrong? | 19:12 |
| quantibility | ill gave that a go | 19:13 |
| Jakey3 | i mean to setup the network to ssh into it | 19:13 |
| ppf_ | you need to create a local bridge | 19:13 |
| ppf_ | with one end connected to the container NIC, and the other one to your lan | 19:13 |
| quantibility | http://termbin.com/jcq8 | 19:14 |
| quantibility | i already renamed my folder | 19:14 |
| quantibility | to backup | 19:15 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, the container is on a vps | 19:15 |
| Jakey3 | with a staATIC IP | 19:15 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: ok. i was confused now :) but now my command from above will work and rename the username and the folder to the correct name (name2 in my command) | 19:15 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: wair | 19:16 |
| k1l_ | wiat | 19:16 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: so? | 19:16 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: wait. | 19:16 |
| quantibility | haha i knew that was comming | 19:16 |
| quantibility | lol | 19:16 |
| quantibility | the qfixer deal right? | 19:16 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: did you create already another user with the "correct name"? | 19:16 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: the bridge serves to connect the containers view of the network with the real network of the host | 19:16 |
| quantibility | no | 19:16 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, ok | 19:16 |
| quantibility | oh | 19:17 |
| quantibility | yeah i guess i did | 19:17 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: then i wonder how that backup folder got the group permission from the "correct name" | 19:17 |
| quantibility | because i didn't do it right | 19:17 |
| quantibility | try as i might | 19:17 |
| quantibility | the fold that says backup is actually quantibility | 19:17 |
| quantibility | though that isn't my current log in | 19:18 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: if that's what you want. right now i'm not sure if i understood your goal | 19:18 |
| quantibility | so the heck do i fix this smh | 19:18 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, i want to be able to ssh into my lxd container like a vm with static ip | 19:19 |
| quantibility | cause the way its set up is causing minor issues but issues non the less | 19:19 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: can you ssh into it from the host? | 19:19 |
| quantibility | i can get rid of some users if need be | 19:19 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: "cat /etc/passwd | nc termbin.com" | 19:19 |
| quantibility | ok | 19:20 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, my i can not the lxd container | 19:20 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, my vm i can not the lxd container | 19:20 |
| ppf_ | i still can't parse that | 19:20 |
| ppf_ | rephrase? | 19:20 |
| quantibility | uh | 19:21 |
| quantibility | k1l_, | 19:21 |
| quantibility | im having a slight issue with this | 19:21 |
| quantibility | me$ cat /etc/passwd | nc termbin.com | 19:21 |
| quantibility | This is nc from the netcat-openbsd package. An alternative nc is available | 19:21 |
| quantibility | in the netcat-traditional package. | 19:21 |
| nicholasthan | Which version of ubuntu should i install 16.04 or 16.10? | 19:21 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: sorry, forgot the port: | 19:22 |
| quantibility | oh | 19:22 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: "cat /etc/passwd | nc termbin.com 9999" | 19:22 |
| ppf_ | nicholasthan: 16.04 will get 5 years of updates. 16.10 is a bit more up to date, but support will run out in 9 months | 19:22 |
| Jakey3 | ppf_, i can ssh into my vm not my containers. You inform me i must set up a bridge to my containers | 19:22 |
| Jakey3 | to beable to ssh to them from another network? | 19:22 |
| ppf_ | Jakey3: or from the host | 19:22 |
| quantibility | http://termbin.com/ytfq | 19:22 |

| codfection | ppf_, yea but more errors occured | 19:24 |
| ppf_ | sure, uninstallation can fix that | 19:25 |
| quantibility | quantibiliy:x:1000:1001:Quantibility,,none,none,:/home/quantibiliy:/bin/bash thats command is going to change this right? | 19:25 |
| quantibility | another thing the 1001 and 1000 that doesn't look right i didn't know about it then when i changed it | 19:26 |
| quantibility | hmmm | 19:26 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: my usermod command will change the name and the homefolder in that file, yes. but it will change the filepermissions and other system stuff too. so the system is the same as if you had never typed the wrong name on install. | 19:26 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: dont change that file manually. | 19:27 |
| quantibility | ok | 19:27 |
| quantibility | going to start now | 19:27 |
| quantibility | well just to be sure this looks right though?? | 19:28 |
| quantibility | sudo usermod -d /home/quantibility -m -g quantibility -l quantibility quantibiliy | 19:28 |
| k1l_ | yes | 19:28 |
| quantibility | ok | 19:28 |
| quantibility | usermod: user quantibiliy is currently used by process 1915 | 19:28 |
| quantibility | see im all screwed up man lol | 19:28 |
| ppf_ | quantibility: you need to log out first | 19:29 |
| quantibility | ohhhhhhh | 19:29 |
| quantibility | then use that command? | 19:29 |
| ppf_ | you also need another user to log in to | 19:29 |
| quantibility | that i do | 19:29 |
| ppf_ | okay | 19:29 |
| ppf_ | you can't usermod a logged in user | 19:29 |
| k1l_ | yeah, i guess you have to logout from the desktop. then start ctrl+alt+f1 then login there. afterwards get back to gui with ctrl+alt+f7 | 19:29 |
| ppf_ | so logout first, then usermod | 19:30 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: or even better. use the recovery on boot | 19:30 |

| stickybath | Hi, I have installed gnome on Arch Linux and am having an issue I've never seen before. | 19:40 |
| ppf_ | stickybath: this is #ubuntu | 19:40 |
| sathya | hi guys I recently upgraded ubuntu 14.04 and now my headphones don't work. | 19:40 |
| stickybath | When I click 'Users' on the gnome-control-center it segfaults | 19:41 |
| ppf_ | sathya: upgraded to what? | 19:41 |
| stickybath | yeah I'm using gnome that's why I came here | 19:41 |
| sathya | I can't start alsamixer, tried reinstalling it but no luck | 19:41 |
| sathya | my bad | 19:41 |
| sathya | I updated | 19:41 |
| ppf_ | stickybath: #ubuntu != #gnome :) | 19:41 |
| ppf_ | sathya: updated to what? | 19:41 |
| sathya | I cleared some old kernels | 19:41 |
| stickybath | I thought the users here might be more familiar with the DE since before unity Ubuntu shipped with gnome | 19:41 |
| ppf_ | that's been like, what, 5 years? | 19:42 |
| === matt_ is now known as Guest62540 | ||
| sathya | 14.04.5 LTS | 19:42 |
| ppf_ | stickybath: try the arch or gnome channels | 19:42 |
| sathya | ppf_ now its 14.04.5 LTS | 19:42 |
| ppf_ | sathya: ok. why can't you start alsamixer? | 19:42 |
| sathya | it just says that it cannot open mixer | 19:43 |
| k1l_ | stickybath: please ask the arch specialists or the gnome guys. the arch channel is #archlinux | 19:43 |
| stickybath | I'm in archlinux they just ignored me :( | 19:43 |
| _ramok | ppf, thanks! i just can't start zookeeper with systemctl start ... since the system can't find a service | 19:43 |
| sathya | ppf_: no such file or directory for alsamixer | 19:43 |
| ppf_ | _ramok: yeah my bad, your question scrolled out of view | 19:43 |
| sathya | ppf_: I tried the whole location | 19:43 |
| OerHeks | stickybath, so you are in the wrong channel now, no arch support here | 19:44 |
| ppf_ | _ramok: enable whatever you use to start it | 19:44 |
| _ramok | ppf_: i can start it with /etc/init.d/zookeeper | 19:44 |
| stickybath | I mean it's more of a gnome issue than an arch issue. | 19:44 |
| stickybath | but point taken. | 19:44 |
| ppf_ | _ramok: you quoted a systemctl command | 19:44 |
| _ramok | ppf_: /etc/init.d/zookeeper restart | 19:45 |
| _ramok | [ ok ] Restarting zookeeper (via systemctl): zookeeper.service. | 19:45 |
| _ramok | so it seems like it's using systemctl | 19:45 |
| ppf_ | _ramok: paste the output of systemctl enable mesos zookeeper | 19:45 |
| OerHeks | _ramok, look for zookeeperd ( mind the d at the end) | 19:45 |

| V7 | How change wifi driver to iwlwifi ? | 19:46 |
| OerHeks | V7, find the source and build a newer version yourself? | 19:47 |
| V7 | OerHeks: Am I right ... my wifi connections stays allright, but network connections breaks off after every 5 mins | 19:48 |
| V7 | I don't know what to do .. | 19:48 |
| V7 | Would that driver help me ? | 19:48 |
| OerHeks | V7, wired connections break off? | 19:48 |
| V7 | OerHeks: WiFi | 19:49 |
| debkad | i think it is ipv6 | 19:49 |

| OerHeks | but i wonder the 5 minute issue | 19:51 |
| V7 | debkad: Doesn't help | 19:52 |
| V7 | OerHeks: Driver which now is used is rtlwifi | 19:52 |
| debkad | V7: ipv6 disabled? | 19:52 |
| V7 | debkad: Yup, it is | 19:52 |
| kaidsf | Can't seem to verify a gpg signature in xubuntu 16.04...I have tried it terminal and with GPA and am very incompetent at both so it might be my fault | 19:53 |
| debkad | V7: you used sysctl for that? | 19:53 |
| noemily | hi!! | 19:54 |
| kaidsf | its a .sig directory but the terminal says "no public key found: | 19:54 |
| kaidsf | I got it from the Veracrypt site....what am I doing wrong? | 19:54 |
| kaidsf | "gpg --verify veracrypt-1.19-setup.tar.bz2.sig veracrypt-1.19-setup.tar.bz2" is the command I tried | 19:54 |
| V7 | debkad: No | 19:55 |
| kaidsf | when I try to open the .sig file using gpa to import it and try there it says "no keys found" | 19:55 |
| debkad | V7: i see, because sometimes you must reboot to make effect | 19:55 |
| V7 | debkad: I ignored it in WiFi connection by Network manager | 19:55 |
| debkad | V7: see what say ifconfig | 19:56 |
| debkad | if it say something like addr6 then it still using ipv6 | 19:56 |
| V7 | debkad: I found inet6 addr | 19:57 |
| debkad | so it is enabled :( | 19:57 |

| V7 | Waiting to wifi drop :) | 20:02 |
| debkad | haha :) | 20:03 |
| V7 | debkad: Network connection - lost :( | 20:07 |

| guest342 | ppf i just want it to work and not do tinkering | 20:18 |
| ppf_ | install lubuntu then | 20:18 |
| ppf_ | or xubuntu | 20:18 |
| ppf_ | which ever looks nicer to you | 20:18 |
| pwca | Ubuntu Gnome is wonderful. | 20:18 |
| ppf_ | guest342: or stick with windows | 20:18 |
| pwca | Unity is really bad. | 20:19 |
| OerHeks | guest342, without proper system specs info, we cannot tell | 20:19 |
| OerHeks | pwca, that is not helpfull | 20:19 |
| pwca | OerHeks: that sentence has no information content. | 20:19 |
| guest342 | oerheks ok how can I give you the specs easily - any tool? | 20:20 |
| ppf_ | pwca: it's all about subtext | 20:20 |
| pwca | oh, in that case. | 20:20 |
| pwca | OerHeks: I am sorry to hear that. :< | 20:20 |
| ppf_ | guest342: why are you looking to install ubuntu | 20:20 |
| qfixer | ppf_, uh | 20:21 |
| guest342 | ppf because i heared it is free and it is better than windows | 20:21 |
| ppf_ | qfixer: ps auxf | grep 1915 | 20:21 |
| qfixer | usermod: user quantibiliy is currently used by process 1915 | 20:21 |
| OerHeks | pwca, windows comes with system information somewhere, cpu, ram and most important videocard | 20:21 |
| ppf_ | guest342: why don't you try a live system first and see if yo ulike it | 20:21 |
| qfixer | oh ok | 20:21 |
| qfixer | hold on | 20:21 |
| MWM | it is free and better than windows, but you have to do the tinkering. Thats what drives many away from windows... the fact that they cannot tinker | 20:21 |
| nacc | guest342: it's all relative; some things are only supported under windows as well. | 20:22 |
| k1l_ | qfixer: try the recovery. you cant be logged in as that user. | 20:22 |
| nacc | guest342: trying the live USB is probably the best suggestion | 20:22 |
| guest342 | ppf i tired ubuntu already on another persons computer and it seemed to look beautiful | 20:22 |
| pwca | OerHeks: you should tell guest342. | 20:22 |

| qfixer | thats what i got | 20:23 |
| ppf_ | guest342: try the live system, you'll get an impression of the performance | 20:23 |
| nacc | guest342: it's not something we can really speculate on | 20:23 |
| pwca | yowza, does Netflix not work in Opera? | 20:24 |
| guest342 | nacc o i never thought it would be a hit or a miss kind a thing | 20:24 |
| nacc | guest342: you weren't asking if ubuntu would work on your laptop, but on 'if it will be a smooth ride'. That seems highly subjective | 20:24 |
| MWM | Ive installed a new drive and now cannot get access to my old files from the old install. cannot mount the old partition that they were on. "partition already mounted or busy..." or something | 20:24 |
| qfixer | uh | 20:25 |
| qfixer | hmm | 20:25 |
| nacc | guest342: and you seemed interested in the speed/performance, which again can be subjective (particularly for UI things) and is very tied to the graphics card(s) in use | 20:25 |
| perrucho | hello | 20:25 |
| qfixer | i don't know what to do?? | 20:25 |
| MWM | there doesnt seem to be a UUID for the partition either | 20:25 |
| guest342 | nacc ok I will try to clarify, I want to not have to tinker to get things working as I am not very technical, I would like things to be fast as in smooth like butter | 20:25 |
| perrucho | spanish | 20:25 |

| ppf_ | boot the recovery mode | 20:26 |
| qfixer | ok | 20:26 |
| ppf_ | that's 'a different user' enough | 20:26 |
| qfixer | then? | 20:26 |
| qfixer | ok | 20:26 |
| qfixer | so | 20:26 |
| nacc | guest342: whether you have to tinker or not would be dtermined by your experience with the live usb (I think), where you can also install new pacakges, etc | 20:26 |
| guest342 | also intel celeron 2.6 dual | 20:26 |
| nacc | guest342: 'fast as in smooth like butter' is 100% not a metric, sorry -- so again, it's very subjective | 20:26 |
| qfixer | do that and then do the code? cause this is driving me nuts and its all my fault | 20:26 |
| qfixer | so whatever | 20:26 |
| ppf_ | qfixer: yes, run the usermod command on the rescue console | 20:27 |

| Soul_Sample | well, except for having to reinstall a couple of staem games, my 16.04.1 clean install is done | 20:27 |
| Soul_Sample | i betrayed ubuntu by switching to elementary for a month, never again! | 20:27 |
| hans109h | Soul_Sample, now you're ready for 16.10 | 20:28 |
| Soul_Sample | hans109h: I'm considering it, actually :D | 20:28 |
| guest342 | nacc i have no idea then how to express it, i mean when it is freezing most of us can say we experience cold, like we can say we experience more heat than cold shivers in the summer for the vast majority of healthy people. I mean this in the same way with smooth, like I click on an app or have several apps open and things just still seem to go ok and no lagging windows and such | 20:28 |
| Soul_Sample | hans109h: but the changelog doesn't excite me much and this is an LTS after all | 20:28 |
| hans109h | Soul_Sample, I upgraded my laptop to 16.10 with very minor issues, then did the server last night and that went very well. | 20:29 |
| hans109h | It's not like the switch from 14 or 15....which ever one implimented systemd | 20:29 |
| ppf_ | guest342: there's no way we can guess how the experience will be for you | 20:29 |
| ppf_ | you need to try the live system | 20:29 |
| ppf_ | maybe compare a few DEs | 20:29 |
| Soul_Sample | hans109h: the only thing that's sort of interesting is the update to the gnome stack of apps, mainly nautilus | 20:29 |
| perrucho | debian? | 20:29 |
| Soul_Sample | hans109h: kernel 4.8 is also nice, but I don't need much of what it provides | 20:30 |
| ppf_ | !es | perrucho | 20:30 |
| perrucho | dime | 20:30 |
| ppf_ | ubottu: why you no talk | 20:30 |
| ubottu | ppf_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:30 |
| guest342 | yeah i think i will stay with windows for now | 20:30 |
| hans109h | Soul_Sample, correct, dconf editor is a major improvement, and nautilus of course...I haven't used many of the others but there was one that seemed to be working a lot better---cant recall. | 20:30 |
| perrucho | now linux sorry | 20:30 |
| guest342 | have a good evening all! | 20:30 |
| nacc | guest342: yes, that depends on your hardware, and what applications you mean, etc. | 20:30 |
| MWM | no one wants to help me mount a partition with no UUID so I can recover my files? | 20:30 |
| nacc | guest342: please just try the live usb if you want | 20:30 |
| ppf_ | MWM: you need to spill some more details | 20:31 |

| qfixer | what next | 20:34 |
| qfixer | wait | 20:34 |
| nacc | MWM: is it already mounted? | 20:34 |

| * qfixer smh | 20:35 | |

| k1l_ | qfixer: (in recovery) | 20:35 |
| MWM | lsblk does not show a mountpoint for it and I cannot see it anywhere else | 20:35 |
| nacc | MWM: sorry, can you start over (I missed the context) | 20:35 |
| nacc | MWM: look maybe in /dev/disk ? | 20:35 |
| MWM | there are times when the mount command throws an error about not seeing in the fstab...but no UUID is available to put it there | 20:36 |
| k1l_ | qfixer: if the menu doesnt offer you a settings for that, you can do it with "mount -o remount,rw /" | 20:36 |
| qfixer | ok no problem will do | 20:36 |
| ppf_ | MWM: the busy part usually refers to /mountpoint | 20:36 |
| qfixer | it offers settings just forever lol | 20:36 |
| ppf_ | is the mountpoint open in the terminal or something | 20:36 |
| MWM | when I got the busy message I tried "umount -a" and then reissued the mount command with the same result | 20:37 |
| MWM | nacc: /dev/disk? can you clarify? | 20:37 |
| qfixer | ugh | 20:37 |

| nacc | MWM: /dev/disk/by-{...} has all the disks the kernel sees | 20:38 |
| k1l_ | MWM: why umount all? | 20:39 |
| MWM | let me clarify: lsblk does show the disk, but no UUID. I am looking into /dev/disk now as well | 20:39 |
| === xorticagreen is now known as xorticagreen_afk | ||
| nacc | MWM: /dev/disk/by-uuid/ would show the the disks with known UUIDs | 20:39 |
| k1l_ | MWM: and every partition got a uuid. seems you try the sledgehammer method and dont understand the risks | 20:39 |
| MWM | umount all because the partition was "already mounted" so I thought to unmount and start over | 20:39 |
| k1l_ | MWM: use blkid | 20:39 |
| ppf_ | MWM: please paste the ooutput of mount, lsblk and cat /proc/cmdline | 20:40 |
| ppf_ | and blkid | 20:40 |
| k1l_ | MWM: then umount one specific partition | 20:40 |
| MWM | noted for the future. for now, blkid does not show the partition | 20:41 |
| ppf_ | MWM: sudo blkid | 20:42 |
| k1l_ | MWM: sudo parted -l and sudo blkid in a pastebin please | 20:42 |
| MWM | PARTUUID is equal to UUID? | 20:42 |
| ppf_ | MWM: no | 20:43 |
| k1l_ | no | 20:43 |
| k1l_ | partuuid is a gpt feature. uuid is a filesystem feature | 20:43 |
| MWM | sudo blkid shows PARTUUID for the partition I am after. WOUlsd you still like the pastebin? | 20:43 |
| ppf_ | MWM: show us some pastes | 20:44 |
| MWM | Perhaps I need to go more in depth... I added a SSD and just did a fresh install. I want to access the old install (which is what we are talking about) | 20:44 |

| MWM | I planned to mount the partition and move the files I wanted with dd and then nuke the drive.... not so simple. | 20:44 |
| OerHeks | MWM, old install, this is new info | 20:45 |
| MWM | Which pastes? sudo parted -l ? | 20:45 |
| ppf_ | yes | 20:45 |
| ppf_ | and blkid and mount and cat /proc/cmdline | 20:45 |
| MWM | http://pastebin.com/SfJ4ydRH <- not sure I did that right | 20:46 |
| quantibility | Please make sure that directory "/home/quantibiliy/Downloads" exists or configure it with blueman-services now i get this | 20:47 |
| MWM | http://pastebin.com/8AAEK7da <-- sudo blkid | 20:48 |
| k1l_ | MWM: so what partition is it you want to mount? and what was on that partition before? | 20:48 |
| k1l_ | or disk | 20:48 |
| quantibility | still with the quantibiliy this is driving me nuts | 20:49 |
| MWM | sda1 is 100gb partition that Ubuntu used to live on | 20:49 |
| MWM | I added sdb (a new SSD) and made a fresh install on it... now I want to grab my old files from sda1 | 20:50 |
| k1l_ | quantibility: ok, it looks like the blueman service is looking for a file in the old named users home Download folder. need to reconfigure blueman | 20:50 |
| k1l_ | MWM: are you sure the disk sda is fine? and you did not mess with the partitions(table)? because the output from parted doesnt seem correct | 20:51 |
| MWM | what I am look for specifically is the contents of ~/Downloads and ~/Pictures ...etc | 20:51 |
| ppf_ | MWM: what about mount and cat /proc/cmdline | 20:52 |
| MWM | k1l the disk was fine until I rotated it out | 20:52 |
| ppf_ | yeah the output seems broken | 20:53 |
| MWM | cat /proc/cmdline :BOOT_IMAGE=/@/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-31-generic root=UUID=f99878a6-b917-4ad4-a469-471434b81036 ro rootflags=subvol=@ quiet splash vt.handoff=7 | 20:54 |
| MWM | http://pastebin.com/XaZZTpZD <- mount | 20:55 |
| MWM | SMART info for the drive checks out fine | 20:58 |
| ppf_ | it's not a physical issue, most likely | 20:59 |
| === marcos is now known as Guest61249 | ||
| ppf_ | but the partition table could be broken | 20:59 |
| ppf_ | can you boot a live disk and check blkid there? | 21:00 |
| debkad | is the UUID match? | 21:00 |
| MWM | ppf do I have any options at this point? Id hate to rebuild all my data | 21:00 |
| MWM | I had the same issue from a live disk | 21:00 |
| Bashing-om | MWM: A thought .. switching drives around .. and dust got in the port(s)/connectors ? | 21:01 |
| k1l_ | MWM: what filesystems were on sda before? | 21:01 |
| ppf_ | debkad: the drive has no uuid in blkid | 21:02 |
| ppf_ | which is not supposed to happen ;) | 21:02 |
| MWM | root fs was btrfs and the rest was ext4 | 21:02 |
| debkad | yeah that weird | 21:02 |
| k1l_ | MWM: parted and blkid (and the rest of the system) cant detect any filesystem on that sda. besides the one partition with swap. | 21:02 |
| ppf_ | MWM: did you physically move the drives around? | 21:02 |
| k1l_ | uuids are FS features. so if there is no FS there is no uuid | 21:02 |

| Soul_Sample | is this a new thing or maybe I didn't notice - but why does ubuntu create home folders with permissions that allow users to access each other's home folders? | 21:11 |
| OerHeks | Soul_Sample, convenience, use encrypted home to avoid that | 21:12 |
| Soul_Sample | OerHeks: that's a weird convenience, I just changed permissions so that's okay, but I don't understand the logic behind it | 21:13 |
| === cy is now known as Guest20873 | ||
| OerHeks | Why should there be a logical reason, windows does it too, without the option to encrypt. | 21:14 |
| Soul_Sample | OerHeks: last time I tried to access other user's files under windows, it said that I can't | 21:14 |
| Soul_Sample | and as far as I remember, ubuntu did that as well. i could be wrong | 21:15 |
| UrsaTempest | That's more because Windows can't read ext4, I think? | 21:17 |
| UrsaTempest | You need to install extra driver adn so on and so forth | 21:17 |
| Soul_Sample | I meant - when I tried to access files from an other WINDOWS user | 21:17 |
| Soul_Sample | in a multi-user setup | 21:17 |
| UrsaTempest | But it also mean if you change your OS for one reason or another, you can just re-use your /home without fearing it's locked out. | 21:18 |
| UrsaTempest | Oh, other user on Windows. ...I confess it's been some time since I have multi-user account on Windows. | 21:18 |
| MWM | Im baaaaack :) | 21:18 |
| Soul_Sample | UrsaTempest: I did that a lot of times, as long as it's not encrypted you can chown it anyway, but I'm still baffled that they defaulted to creating publicly accessible home folders | 21:19 |

| dajjen | command. There is also great documentation on the Irssi website. | 21:31 |
| dajjen | Irssi can handle multiple connections to several different servers at once. As such, it is possible to be active in several channels on different networks at the same time. For example, to connect to the IRC server freenode, type the command: | 21:31 |
| dajjen | If you also wanted to connect to the EFNet network, then you would also issue the command: | 21:31 |
| dajjen | You would now be connected to two servers at the same time. The server that you are connected to is identified in the status bar at the bottom. To switch between servers, as also identified in the status bar, type the keyboard shortcut ctrl+x. | 21:31 |
| nicomachus | dajjen: stop | 21:31 |
| dajjen | At this point, you should be familiar with two other commands: /server and /disconnect. /server has the same syntax as /connect, except it tells Irssi to keep a connection to only one server. So, if you wanted to connect to Undernet, while also connected to Freenode and EFNet, and you typed /server irc.undernet.org, you would disconnect from Freenode and EFNet, and only be connected to Undernet. The other | 21:31 |

| lordcirth | gray, yes | 22:44 |
| pwca | merhaba, does Netflix not work in Opera? | 22:44 |
| gray | Trying to move a .conf file to a weird directory via terminal because I need root access but it's giving me "no such file or directory" when I try | 22:44 |
| pwca | what a cryptic message. | 22:45 |
| pwca | what could that possibly imply. | 22:45 |
| gray | wait, it did it :D | 22:46 |
| OverCoder | pwca: netflix runs in webkit, why would it not | 22:46 |
| pwca | OverCoder: I don't know, but it doesn't work. | 22:47 |

| k1l_ | pwca: without more details you wont get more help. i linked you a comment on the opera blog by a developer that it should work. | 22:52 |
| pwca | k1l_: and it doesn't work. | 22:53 |
| pwca | I've tried using Pipelight and enabled all the relevant plugins. | 22:53 |
| pwca | it works in Chrome, but not in Opera. | 22:53 |
| axsuul | I'm trying to restart a service in root's crontab with the command `/usr/sbin/service restart <service>`. I see in the logs `/var/log/syslog` that it runs the command HOWEVER there's no effect and the service doesn't actually restart. Am I doing something wrong? | 22:53 |
| pwca | Opera is not using Turbo or VPN. | 22:53 |
| pwca | everything is up to date and all recommended packages are installed. | 22:54 |
| paddymahoney | hi all, I'm in the midst of a yaketty upgrade, and I'm running into: python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat : Conflicts: packagekit | 22:54 |
| paddymahoney | Conflicts: packagekit:i386 | 22:54 |
| paddymahoney | python3-click-package : Conflicts: python3-click but 6.6-1 is to be installed | 22:54 |
| pwca | the message I get is to install Silverlight when I try to play a video. | 22:54 |
| pwca | I have chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra, I have used --user-agent command line switch, and I have compatible Widevine libraries (through Pipelight). | 22:55 |
| bryceml | does anyone know how to get dhcpv6 working with /etc/network/interfaces, I can't seem to make it work. | 22:56 |
| cokezero | i hate to ask, but can anyone explain the difference between the following commands "apt-get update" vs "apt-cache gencache"? The two seem very similar and the documentation is not clear enough to explain it in a way I understand. | 22:56 |
| pwca | what details are you missing, k1l_? | 22:56 |
| debkad | cokezero: gencaches - Build both the package and source cache | 22:57 |
| michagogo | Has there been any word yet on what happens for 17.10? | 22:58 |
| k1l_ | pwca: afaik chrome/chromium dont support npapi (silverlight) anymore. so be sure to have the correct user agent as chromium | 22:58 |
| michagogo | After Z Z, do we go with Aa Aa? (something aardvark?) | 22:59 |
| michagogo | Or wrap around to just plain A A? Or something else? | 22:59 |
| k1l_ | michagogo: no. we will see after the 17.04 release | 22:59 |
| cokezero | debkad: are you saying both update the package cache but gencaches updates source as well? | 22:59 |
| debkad | cokezero: update, it used when something modified/added/removed from sources.list or sources.list.d | 23:00 |
| paddymahoney | pwca k1l_ I definitely also had to adjust the user agent in my browser in order to get past the silverlight install prompts | 23:00 |
| k1l_ | pwca: and it should use the html5 streaming that way. | 23:01 |
| cokezero | debkad, i am sorry I am still not following. when would i want to do one vs the other? | 23:01 |
| debkad | from apt-get help: update - Retrieve new lists of packages | 23:01 |
| pwca | well, I am adjusting my user agent and setting it to Chrome (Ubuntu) which works. | 23:01 |
| pwca | I mean it works in Chrome, but adjusting the user agent doesn't do shit in Opera. | 23:03 |
| grekkos | as anyone here set up a samba share on ubuntu before? I want to share some files to my mac, I thought samba might be faster than sshfs but I can't seem to get my mac to connect | 23:05 |

| Dykotomee | Hey guys. I've been trying for days to have my cloud-based Ubuntu server use Gmail as an SMTP, but none of the tutorials are working out, and now I think I've borked my postfix installation. | 23:06 |
| k1l_ | pwca: check if that changing did work at all | 23:06 |
| Dykotomee | How do I cleanly remove postfix, etc.? | 23:06 |
| Dykotomee | I did apt remove postfix mailutils, then apt autoremove. | 23:06 |
| Dykotomee | Trying to install it again gives errors. | 23:06 |
| k1l_ | Dykotomee: what error? | 23:08 |
| Dykotomee | Hold on a sec, I'll paste... | 23:08 |
| k1l_ | please use paste.ubuntu.com | 23:08 |
| pwca | k1l_: what changing? | 23:09 |
| Dykotomee | Got it. | 23:09 |
| k1l_ | pwca: of the user agent | 23:09 |
| pwca | k1l_: I checked it yesterday. | 23:10 |
| Dykotomee | k1l_: The problem was with an old conf file. I did an apt purge, then reinstalled, and that fixed it. | 23:10 |
| pwca | and again a couple of times today. | 23:10 |
| Dykotomee | Still...can't get smtp working. :( | 23:10 |
| Dykotomee | Lemme get to a point where something's not right though, have to go through all these steps again. | 23:11 |
| p1l0t | so if I tried to install ubuntu server on compaq proliant with a smart array controller and now it says drive array not configured and it can't see any harddrives am I dead in the water or can I fix it? | 23:13 |
| p1l0t | I guess it being version 9.10 wasn't a great idea but it's the only CD I had | 23:14 |

| LordSesshomaru | hello, I'm attempting to convert video using ffmpeg, it is telling me that the aac encoder is experimental, which is not enabled and tells me to add -strict -2, which upon adding to the command line is seemingly ignored. Any ideas? | 23:22 |
| pwca | zdravo, does Netflix not work in Opera? | 23:22 |
| myraft | hi guys, after updating to 4.4.0.43 , my screen loads up with dithered screen. Had to go back to advanced , and choose 4.4.0.42. Any ideas or suggestions? | 23:26 |

| neldogz | lordcirth, i have an i7-6700k Skylake processor and Nvidia GTX 1080 pascal card | 23:32 |
| lordcirth | kamiyaa_, hi | 23:32 |
| ThePiousPriest | Similar story Nelzdogz, 1070 here | 23:32 |
| lordcirth | My 1060 works just fine for me, isn't that the same gen? | 23:32 |
| kamiyaa_ | lordcirth, hello :D. my first time using irc | 23:33 |
| neldogz | ThePiousPriest, you will need this: https://www.abiraf.com/blog/installing-nvidias-proprietary-gtx-1070-and-1080-driver-in-ubuntu-1604-how-to-get-around-the-out-of-range-error-and-a-guide-to-do-a-realtime-monitoring-of-your-gpu | 23:33 |

| myraft | guys - need some support | 23:34 |
| neldogz | ThePiousPriest, did you install the nvidia drivers from the additional drives menu? | 23:34 |
| kamiyaa_ | lordcirth, yea, but it wasn't directed towards this irc. I just wanted to test it out and have some ppl to talk to xD | 23:34 |
| ThePiousPriest | yes I did Nelzdogz | 23:34 |
| nacc | !ask myraft | 23:34 |
| ThePiousPriest | I'm not getting an "out of range" message tho | 23:34 |
| nacc | !ask | myraft | 23:34 |
| ubottu | myraft: 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 | 23:34 |
| neldogz | ThePiousPriest, I ran into the same problem, you need to remove it and install the drives from that PPA | 23:34 |
| lordcirth | kamiyaa_, chatting is off-topic here, btw. | 23:34 |
| myraft | let me repost | 23:35 |
| myraft | Running 16.04 - update 4.4.0.43. The system boots to a dithered mini-screen (illegible). Any ideas or guidance ? | 23:35 |

| ThePiousPriest | I know its not a credential issue because I switch to tty and get in with creds just fine | 23:36 |
| kamiyaa_ | lordcirth, thanks :) | 23:36 |
| cbm2000 | My wireless adaptor operates at different txpower depending on what network I connect to. On certain networks I can change it and on others nothing happens when I enter the command. Why is this? What's going on? | 23:36 |
| lordcirth | ThePiousPriest, did you check Xorg.0.log yet? | 23:36 |
| neldogz | ThePiousPriest, i ended up just reinstalling and then when it came time to install the drivers for the GTX card i used that PPA in the article i pasted | 23:36 |
| myraft | nacc, ideas ? | 23:36 |
| ThePiousPriest | Not yet, gonna try to reboot and go for another pass | 23:37 |
| neldogz | ThePiousPriest, I dont believe this problem exists in 16.10 but i havent tested | 23:37 |
