linxehBumbolicious: as in run that - it should tell you the dependencies that are being called so we can see more detail over what's slow for each step00:00
Bumboliciousgimme a min00:00
linxehBumbolicious: also, if you aren't running any services on it (eg it's not a server) you might be able to disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service, but I'm relatively new to this systemd nonsense; I tend to run LTS releases on servers for some time, and run macs for client machines (due to some commercial applications)00:01
linxehI'm sure someone more versed in modern Ubuntu behaviour will chime in if I'm talking nonsense00:01
Bumbolicious@linxeh it's not a server00:02
naccBumbolicious: fwiw, all of those times are *way* higher than on my laptop, and it's defintiely a bit worrisome your disk is so high, probably means you are seeing effects of IO00:04
taseHow would I go about creating a systemctl service that starts a tmux session with a command? Is this possible?00:04
naccBumbolicious: in comparison, e.g., snapd.firstboot.service on my laptop takes 906 ms00:04
linxehnacc: what HDD is it ?00:04
linxehBumbolicious: and same question to you00:05
nacclinxeh: well, mine is an SSD, that's what i mean -- if the disk is slow as to show up as about 1/5-1/6 of the boot time, that's a problem, imo00:05
energizer1Ubuntu 16.04, no internet. Ethernet plugged in, other computers on switch have internet. nmcli g says connected + enabled. But no internet.00:06

syehHi, does anyone here happen to know how ubuntu gnome resizes the wall paper upon a resolution change?  I'm running into a strange issue where going from 800x600 -> 1024x768, and the wall paper stays in 800x600 size.00:12
ryasdgasgas@linxeh wire00:12
linxehryasdgasgas: ok, and no wireless in the machine? how long does it take to boot if the machine isn't plugged into the LAN ?00:12
ryasdgasgas@linxeh shall i disable ntp.service first?00:12
aldenhi there.  im having a problem whenever attempting to resume after a suspend, this is on a Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop.  It's just a black screen, cannot ever wake back up ever suspend, reproduces almost every time.  I updates BIOS settings already and tried disabling some sleep features.  I recently dug into syslog and I see some definite crashes, anyone could00:13
aldentake a look and see if they can make any more sense of it than me, or suggest solution? https://dpaste.de/Jox800:13
energizer1Bashing-om: yes, pinged self successfully00:16
ryasdgasgas@linxeh you there?00:16
Bashing-omenergizer1: Well that is good news .. on the network .. can you ping your router ?00:17
veterHello, does some body know how to fix this eror http://storage6.static.itmages.com/i/16/1104/h_1478218607_8536038_7dcbdf20c3.png ? I see it every time after boot.00:17
FatherWh0_jordan_us: I repaired windows old school. thx for your help00:19
linxehryasdgasgas: sorry went to get a drink00:19
linxehryasdgasgas: ntp service looks like its only taking 100ms00:20
ryuu@linxeh -4 seconds with no lan connected00:20
FatherWh0_would anyone advise an antivirus so I can be sure whatever hit my firefox isn't still  in there and that doesn't happen again?00:20
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: Great. Lets make sure that it won't happen again though. Please pastebin the output of "debconf-show grub-pc".00:20
linxehryasdgasgas: the @xx.yyy seconds means the time it started after boot, the +zzzms  is how long that task supposedly took00:20
linxehryasdgasgas: hmm00:20
ryuu@linxeh so it's something with the networkmanager service...00:21
ryuu@linxeh also ─apparmor.service @6.609s +8.653s. any idea about that?00:22
linxehryuu: it could be, but that might be just a symptom of something else. can you paste the output of dmesg into something? be warned - there will be lots of it00:22
linxehryuu: apparmor is known to be slow; these things could be IO related00:23
ryuu@linxeh http://paste.ubuntu.com/23423183/ there you go. dmseg00:24
linxehryuu: however, on my NAS (no GUI, Ubuntu 16.04.1) it took +123ms00:24
ryuu*dmesg00:24
energizer1Bashing-om: im plugged into a switch, which [is plugged into a wall and also into some routers]00:24
linxehryuu: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/8400ba1381d2774dde1c4351127f6bcd00:24
energizer1Bashing-om: i can ping 192.168.0.1, which seems to be one of the routers attatched to the switch00:25
linxehryuu: that's on a system with an older SSD, and a Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU G1610T @ 2.30GHz (16 GB ram)00:25
linxehryuu: ok, taking a look00:25
ryuu@linxeh Q6600, 4gb ram, Lubuntu, HDD 5400rpm00:26
linxehryuu: ok, perhaps IPv6 is playing up - your LAN is presumably just IPV4?00:26
ryuu@linxeh i think so00:26
linxehryuu: can you paste the output of ifconfig ?00:27
Bashing-omenergizer1: Well .. we follow the path .. we know in house is good (host) and we know cannot get onto the web .. so what is in between ? well a swirch and a router .. can you ping that router ' ip route ' to get the info .00:28
ryuu@linxeh i've set ipv6 to ignore btw. which specific line do you want from ifconfig?00:28
linxehryuu: well, it was more to see if any ipv6 stuff was there. was going to suggest you try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 (the "Permanently disable ipv6 in 14.04" bit is probably still relevant)00:29
linxehthough no doubt systemd changed sysctl.conf too00:29
energizer1Bashing-om: sorry i didn't quite understand what command you're recommending00:30
ryuu@linxeh i'm disabling it right now00:31
linxehryuu: however, I think it might be clutching at straws. I'm seeing a 27 second delay there from it trying to start the network to it being ready at the end - at the link level (lines 782-786)00:33
ryuu@linxeh so what should i do?00:34
Bashing-omenergizer1: Oh my bad communications skills .. what returns for ' ip route ' . ? See if the machine has a network path .00:34
linxehryuu: I've just been googling - some suggest turning off IGMP on your router/switch, but there seem to have been lots of issues with that chipset (but that might just mean it's very common / popular)00:36
linxehryuu: some suggest trying the r8168 driver instead, but that's beyond what I'd be comfortable advising00:37
linxehryuu: I take it the ipv6 thing didn't make a difference?00:37
ryuu@linxeh gimme a sec00:37

linxehryuu: you may need to edit the grub config and reinstall- one of the later comments on that last links explains roughly what to do there00:39

Jordan_UFatherWh0_: OK. That shows that the grub-pc package is still configured to install grub to the internal drive on grub-pc upgrades. Lets fix that.00:44
energizer1Bashing-om: `ping 8.8.8.8` says `from 192.168.0.1` ... destination net unreachable00:44

ryuu_@linxeh i'm on00:46
FatherWh0_jordan_u: that gave me "Linux command line:"00:47
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: It should ask you some questions. Leave them at their defaults for all except install devices.00:47
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: Hit enter to accept the default (which is empty).00:47
Bashing-omenergizer1: As you can ping the router . will take some one with the greater LAN experience than I have to advise .00:47
extinct_potatoHow the heck do i change plymouth theme?00:48
extinct_potatoi've been searching but can't find any solution.00:48
extinct_potatoother distros have plymouth-set-default-theme utility, but ubuntu of course does not.00:48
emitattuoThanks, lordcirth. I'm unfortunately not at all experienced in writing audio drivers, or anything, for that matter.  It seems like at least some of the groundwork is laid out in that post.00:48
FatherWh0_jordan_u: ok which option 1-700:48

Jordan_UFatherWh0_: Please pastebin the output so that I can see the options listed.00:49
extinct_potatodoes not work lordcirth. it tells me that there is nothing to configure.00:50
FatherWh0_jordan_u: it's waiting for input. I don't know how to switch to outputting to a file on the fly00:50
extinct_potatoi modified an existing theme, and apparently you need to "register" it, but of course i can't find how.00:50
FatherWh0_jordan_u: it's asking what to do about modified configuration file grub.00:50

extinct_potatowhat a fantastic thing. nobody knows how to apply a custom plymouth theme in ubuntu. like, there is no up to date information whatsoever.00:55
extinct_potato"/lib/plymouth" apparently is deprecated, since it is not present in the system00:57
linxehextinct_potato: sudo update-initramfs -u00:57
Jordan_Ufatherwh0: Do you want a nice splash screen during boot, or do you want to see verbose white text on a black screen?00:58
linxehextinct_potato: or something. it's read from initramfs at boot or something00:58
FatherWh0_jordan_u: prefer verbose00:58
extinct_potatolinxeh, this command only updates initramfs. it DOES NOT provide me with selection of custom theme.00:58
extinct_potatoi appreciate the help, but please, understand the command you are trying to explain first.00:59
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: Great, then "2".00:59
linxehextinct_potato: right, but presumably you've installed them in /usr/share/plymouth/themes and done the update-alteratives thing? or has that all changed too?00:59
extinct_potatothat is correct linxeh00:59
OerHeksextinct_potato, unity-tweak-tool might be a help with themes00:59
extinct_potatobut after update-alternatives it says that there is nothing to configure, and that there is only one theme.01:00
linxehugh :/01:00

OerHeksextinct_potato, so what version are you using then?01:01
FatherWh0_jordan_u: ok on this option screen, Im assuming sda is the 'right' answer but is there any harm in not installing the grub to my boot drive? I'd be fine will telling the pc to boot to external when I want linux unless that'll cause issues.01:02
extinct_potatoI am running Xubuntu OerHeks01:02
FatherWh0_jordan_u: sda (1) is the bios boot drive but a simple F9 is not offensive to me.01:02
extinct_potatoHey, this is something linxeh !01:02
extinct_potatothis actually addresses my problem.01:03
extinct_potatothank you so god damn much.01:03
linxehextinct_potato: well, hopefully it will work! it is stackoverflow and linux related after all...01:03
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: I would say that for you "sdb" is the right answer. Note, do not select a partition like "sdb1".01:04
linxehmeh stackexchange :)01:04
extinct_potatoit should work linxeh. what i do not understand is why ubuntu changed the layout, preventing users from changing the themes.01:04
extinct_potatoridiculous.01:04
linxehextinct_potato: progress. and systemd. everything is systemd's fault.01:05
extinct_potatoi get the meme, but sadly systemd has nothing to do with it linxeh01:05
linxeh:)01:05
linxehlook, if systemd is responsible for the latest macbook pro's being somewhat underspecified and overpriced I'm sure it can be responsible for splashscreens not working :)01:06

JFlashhi, what are the limitations for ubuntu running from a thumb drive?01:07
JFlashi want to test ubuntu studio to control a musical keyboard running some digital audio software with VTS plugins..will I be able to do it from a thumb drive?01:08
JFlashcan I install VTS plugins and what not whit the OS running from a thumb drive?01:09
RarrikinsJFlash: Yes.01:09
emitattuoJFlash, You mean VST plugins?01:09
JFlashyes sorry01:09
JFlashRarrikins, so what are the limitations?01:10
Jordan_Ufatherwh0: That is correct. And I just realized that that was what you had configured already to start with. Two strikes against me since my advice also made Windows fail to boot for you earlier. Sorry, but everything should be good to go now.01:10
JFlashRarrikins, will it install softare on the harddrive or only on the thumb drive?01:10
emitattuoJFlash, only on the thumb drive.01:10
RarrikinsJFlash: Either you have the disk as writeable and you're limited in space that way, or it uses a RAM disk and you're limited in space that way.01:11
protocol_hivehello world01:11
linxehprotocol_hive: Saluton Mondo!!01:11
RarrikinsJFlash: It depends on whether it's using a RAM disk or not. If RAM disk, it isn't stored permanently. If the drive with Ubuntu is writeable, it will use up space there.01:12
FatherWh0_jordan_u: lol, it's no worries. All fine now and I've learned a lot. Nothing like a crash coarse. Last question: since I got my browser hacked what antivirus would you advise? I'd like to make sure this system is clean.01:12
JFlashwhat about performance and memory wise, will there be limitations aother that read access on the thumb drive01:12
RarrikinsJFlash: It won't use the hard drive.01:12
RarrikinsJFlash: USB drives are generally slow compared to hard drives.01:12
protocol_hivelinxeh: how are things?01:13
JFlashwell the whole point is to be able to skip latency which is common in midi software01:13
RarrikinsJFlash: However, programs load themselves into RAM, so once that's done, it should run just as fast as otherwise.01:13
JFlashbut I suppose the instrument emulation will be completely done in memory and CPU only so there is no IO other than the USB midi io itself?01:14
RarrikinsJFlash: One method you might consider is to shrink the current hard drive OS's partition and install Ubuntu onto a new partition.01:14
RarrikinsJFlash: Then, if it doesn't suit you, you can delete the Ubuntu partition and resize the old partition back.01:14
linxehprotocol_hive: good, I guess :)01:14
JFlashit's a laptop so the SSD is already small but yeah.. that's also a possibility thanks for sugesting01:15
emitattuoJFlash, using a faster (USB 3.0) drive would help.  The UbuntuStudio variant of Ubuntu is already set up for that sort of thing.01:15
emitattuoThat sort of thing being music production01:15

JFlashmake america great again!01:16
JFlashjust kidding. haha01:16
JFlashsee ya01:16
linxehprotocol_hive: not really; the raspberry pi is probably not that relevant though. tor isn't something I really have a need for either I'm afraid01:17
protocol_hivelinxeh: i see, just thought id ask01:18
emitattuoThere may be a distribution just for using it as such, protocol_hive01:18
drjammmmmm pi's im trying to learn on one currently01:18
drjambut for dashboards and monitoring01:18
linxehdrjam: for most things you are better off with a VM, unless you want to do the hardware side or are trying to specifically learn ARM / pi stuff01:19
protocol_hivedrjam: yea, ive been looking into one for a while. was thinking of making a mobile hotspot using a dist and tor. just something ive been thinking of.01:20
linxehdrjam: don't get me wrong, I've got several pis of different vintages and configurations (and various ARM dev boards too)01:20
drjamlinxeh, yeah ive got a couple of hyper-v servers here for the dashboard stuff when i gert to it properly (i have ubuntu and grafana, JUST learned how to use it)01:21

Jordan_UFatherWh0_: That's an interesting question. It's hard to say what happened to you with firefox, though maybe looking at the browser history with a tool other than firefox could lead you to find what website you accidentally went to, and then you could figure out exactly what happened. I will make an educated guess though that whatever caused the popups to keep coming up whenever you started firefox A:01:22
Jordan_UWas not OS specific, so it probably would have acted exactly the same had you visited the page with Firefox on Windows and B: Would not have shown up in a Windows antivirus scan. There are options for antivirus in linux, but generally the types of threats you need to worry about in linux are the type that wouldn't show up from an antivirus scan.01:23
FatherWh0_jordan_u: In windows my antivirus does protect me from malicious web scripts like that one. Is there any similar types of protection in linux on the browser end?01:25
Jordan_UFatherWh0_: If you want to, you can install clamAV, which is generally used by linux users who want to protect Windows users. For example, if you are running an email filter or file share on a linux box. I have heard that it's not as good at finding Windows viruses as some other proprietary antiviruses, but is still good for it's intended purpose. You can also install AVG free, which has a linux version.01:26
Jordan_UI think that if you do so you will find that it will show your old firefox directory (if you've still kept it) as not having any viruses, which probably won't be very comforting as you know that there was something causing problems and it was likely mallicious.01:26
linxehby the time a virus checker picks anything up it's likely no longer a real threat. run selinux, clear profiles regularly, browse anything suspect in a VM.01:27
OerHeksFatherWh0_, never thought about teamviewer might be the culprit?01:36

kshahI seemed to have borked my sshd somehow, on Ubuntu 14.04 I ran a non-specific apt-get upgrade which bumped up openssh-client openssh-server openssh-sftp-server openssl, I can no longer shell into my droplet (digitalocean). I’m at a loss and all ssh -v is revealing is connection refused. I see the attempt in /var/log/auth.log with: “session closed for user root” “session closed for user root by deploy” (deploy being the loc02:23

RarrikinsDoes 'ifconfig etho0 down` work?06:07
DragoneyeRarrikins: That worked, but for no apperent reson did it get the static ip i configured in /etc/network/interfaces  :-)06:08
kevdogWhy you configuring interfaces by hand?06:15
Dragoneyekevdog: communicating with a firewall box06:16
kevdogSo this can’t be done with network manager?06:17
Dragoneyekevdog: only have ssh terminal access, no gui06:17
kevdogI wrote a post about this in 2007 I think — I’m looking at it right not — its been a long time.  I think ifconfig doesn’t read the interfaces file but ifup and ifdown do to answer your question06:18
kevdogYou can configure with ifconfig like the following: sudo ifconfig <interface> down06:19
kevdogsudo dhclient -r <interface>06:19
kevdogsudo ifconfig <interface> 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up06:19

Dragoneyekevdog: thank you for info :-)06:20
kevdognp — It might not be totally relevant06:21
kevdogafter you make the changes in the file — do you do a sudo service networking restart command?06:22
brotherBoxyes06:23
kevdogThe guide I referenced was with system V init scripts, which 14.04 has upstart and 16.04 has systemd.  Things have changed in the last 8 years a lot — and not for the better06:23
kevdogpastebin?06:23
Dragoneyeservice networking restart gives "job failed while stopping06:24
Dragoneye"06:24
DragoneyeBut the above config did do the trick :-)06:24
Dragoneyeit now shows the correct ip in ifconfig06:25
kevdoghow about sudo service networking stop???  Awe but you figured it out the old fashioned way — good for you06:25
Dragoneyeservice networking stop   do give the above error06:25
kevdogOnly problem with that method, is that those commands either need to be run with shell file or typed in everytime.  The other way is a little bit more automatic, however the manual ifconfig way works on every single linux distribution and raspberry pi setup — you never go wrong with it06:26
DragoneyeOld way was the only way a few years back ;-)06:26
Dragoneyetrue06:26
DragoneyeSo where is the config automatic gui config files hiding theese days?06:27
kevdogIs it service network stop?  I don’t remember the syntax for upstart for the networking stack06:27
Dragoneyeservice networking stop|start|restart06:27
Dragoneyestop gives error06:27
kevdogwhats your interfaces file look like — is there a syntax error06:28
xXEoflaOEXxHow about service network-manager restart? Does it give an error?06:28
kevdogI think that command basically calls ifup, ifdown.  You want to use network manager06:28
Dragoneyemaby it doesnt handle tabs?06:29
kevdogMaybe — put in spaces,  one line will F**K it up, because I’ve done that so many times06:29
Dragoneye:-)06:30
Dragoneyedeleted the tabs and empty line, but still gives error on service networking stop06:30
Dragoneyewould love to give you the interface file, i have to type it manually tho...   Isolated network ;-)06:32

ben911For some reason I can only see the first nvme drive in the installer14:31
ben911cat /proc/partitions shows the other nvme device14:31
Soul_Sampleducasse: me too :D14:31
ben911I thought about trying to manually configure everything but the installer environment doesn't have any partition tools that I could find (fdisk/cfdisk/parted)14:32
ducasseSoul_Sample: if it does, please consider filing a bug for network manager.14:32
ben911Any idea what's wrong with the installer and how come it sees only 1 drive?14:32
ducasseben911: that's confusing, you might want to check with the guys in #ubuntu-server if anyone else has seen this behavior. otherwise i'd guess you could set up a degraded raid and add the second drive later?14:33
ben911ducasse - I thought about this option too but the installer doesn't let me do it in degraded mode. I can try doing half via cli and half via installer but the last time I tried it ended up not booting the EFI :/14:34

AnonyFoxand how do i format the usb drive from terminal ? ^15:04
ducassediscovered: you can learn iptables or nftables, iptables is more commonly used15:04
linuxmonkanyone has chkrootkit installed  in 16.10to check ??15:04

ducasseben911: aha! sounds logical :)15:07
AnonyFoxI should not need to worry as long as i choose the right /dev/sd15:07
ben911:)15:07
linuxmonkno one can check on 16.10 if chkrootkit gives false positive on tcpd ? ):15:08
ducasseAnonyFox: right.15:08
ducasselinuxmonk: it does, it's a known problem.15:09
ben911ducasse: Have you ever installed with raid1 in UEFI machines by any chance?15:09
linuxmonk16.10 is not old ,it s nowhere on the web , and wasn t the case on previous versions!15:09
geniilinuxmonk: Basically, the reason is chkrootkit thinks any program which opens up a connection to the outside from your machine is a backdoor trojan, when many of them ( like tcp daemon) are not15:10
ducasseben911: no, but afaik you should be good as long as the efi system partition is on a plain, non-raid fat32 partition.15:10
linuxmonkstill it s new and I didn t find anyone reporting it anywhere , do you have it on your machine??15:11
ducasselinuxmonk: there has been at least two other people here the last few days who asked the same question, check the logs if you're that paranoid.15:11

ben911ducasse: Maybe you'll know... I have installed everything on a raid1 (including EFI partition!) and UEFI booted to grub, for some reason grub drops to a shell, running "set" shows that root is hd1,gpt1 when it should be md/0,gpt2 (I see it in ls)15:37
ducasseAnonyFox: ok, there's no partition there now, i'm guessing you overwrote it with the mkfs.15:37
ben911ducasse: booting manually (setting prefix and root) works (forgot to set init so it dropped me to a shell)15:37
ben911ducasse: but I am not sure what is wrong with the grub configuration there... It has the right uuid for the partition in grub.cfg.15:37
AnonyFoxsdb is the usb stick but how do i make a partition on sdb in terminal ?15:38
ducasseben911: sw raid, right?15:38
ben911Any idea where does it take the wrong (hd1,gpt1) root/prefix configuration from?15:38
ben911ducasse: Yup, softraid in ubuntu installation (then automatic partitioning on the empty raid, removing swap and root and re-creating root with all available space)15:38
ducasseAnonyFox: 'sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb', then press 'n', enter, 't' select 'c', select 'write and quit15:39

=== ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas
ducasseben911: well, uefi knows nothing about sw raid, so it just boots from a single disk.15:39
ben911ducasse: I see, so although uefi booted grub it did so with the wrong config?15:39
ducasseben911: as far as grub is concerned, it's not started from a raid.15:40
ben911ben911: Any way to force grub to boot from a raid via config? I want the system to work (and boot) even if a drive dies.15:40
ducasseben911: that is above my paygrade :) i'd recommend the uefi and mdadm articles on the arch wiki, i suspect one of them knows.15:41
ben911I found something that might be worth checking, thanks!15:41

MalgorathI'm thinking of either doing away with windows on my current laptop or purchasing a new laptop to run specifically for developeing things in python and ruby.  I have a little i3 with 8G ram and a 1TB hard drive as my current system but it seems amazingly under powered as I tend to wait for even web site refreshes.  Whats a good laptop for linux you guys would suggest16:39
CtrlCI get the following error: bash: add-apt-repository: command not found . I installed python-software-properties but it's still same. any idea why?16:41
CtrlCIt's a docker image if that helps.16:41
blackflowMalgorath: modern web is loaded with bloatware and adware that noticeably slow down page loads even on fastest cpus.16:42
blackflowI have i7 and it was unbearable until I installed ghostery and blocked all of that crapware.16:42
blackflowalso, Firefox is slow, if you're using that. Chromium is significantly faster.16:42

energizerducasse: I'm not in the physical location of the server at the moment, but is this ssh output consistent with the host being totally frozen?16:43
Malgoraththe win laptop is an i7 with 8G and 500G SSD 4G Nvidia card and all that but I use it ofr gaming mostly so I'd loose a gaming rig.16:44

MalgorathI can get a 240G Sandisk for 70$16:50
OerHeksMalgorath, a small 60gb is enough16:50
ducasseMalgorath: mine is only 120gb, i could live with a fraction of that. all my data is on the nas.16:50
energizerducasse: is there a way i can reboot or kill whatever's loading it without being able to ssh or push the button?16:51

OnlineDaterSound preferences -> hardware -> test doesn't actually work. And moments before alsamixer found no mixer and all kinds of other problems. I'm not sure how to investigate.17:53
OnlineDaterYep. Thought it was weird.17:55
ducasseOnlineDater: you want sound to be output _where_? through the analog output rather than digital?17:57
OnlineDaterX's output settings ducasse17:58
OnlineDater'cos now it's changed again and mplayer over SSH outputs from X digitally. I've NOT CHANGED ANYTHING!17:58
* OnlineDater wants to find out why.17:58

stanregUpon doing a "ls" in /media/$user/, I see my (auto-mounted) mass storage fine. I then reboot the mass storage unit. OS anounces that it has mounted it. "ls" in the same directory shows no files, however. It is only after opening a file manager (Caja) and browsing to the specified dir that a "ls" will finally work again. Any ideas on what could be causing that? Or how to work around it?18:04

BandCMy wired network connection on my Ubuntu 16.04 suddenly went out yesterday for no reason while Ubuntu was running. I rebooted but it doesn't connect. I know for sure that there is Internet (My Ubuntu is a guest in Virtualbox and the Windows Host has Internet). Everything was always working fine and I didn't change anything. How can I troubleshoot this?18:09
ikoniaBandC: look if it's getting an IP address from dhcp18:09
ikonialook if it's able to not work with IP's or just names18:09
OnlineDaterSo anyone gonna introduce me to Linux sound...?18:09
BandCyou mean ifconfig?18:09
ikoniaBandC: ,no I mean look if your host gets a a valid IP for the dhcp server18:09
ikoniaOnlineDater: you'll do better if you state the problem clearly18:10
ikoniaOnlineDater: https://help.ubuntu.com has the desktop info on how to configure sound18:10
OnlineDaterikonia: I know nothing about how sound works on Linux. I'd like to fix that.18:10
OnlineDaterFor example, what would someone who does look at in my situation?18:10
ikoniaOnlineDater: ok - so you need to understand how the distro the uses sound, no linux18:10
ikoniasomeone who would be willing to help you would analyise your setup18:11
OnlineDaterGreat18:11
BandCikonia: where would i see that? I can't ping IP addressed or domain names if that's what you mean18:11
ikoniaBandC: are you using network manager ?18:11
BandCyes18:12
ikoniayou should see it in network manager, you should also see it from the termina with "ip addr"18:12
BandCthis is what i see with ip addr18:13
BandC1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00     inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo        valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever     inet6 ::1/128 scope host         valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: enp0s3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000     link/ether 08:00:27:15:618:13
ikoniaBandC: lo is hte loop back, and enp0s3 is your card, it has no ip18:13
ikoniaBandC: that is the problem18:13
BandChow would I fix that? like i said this happened middle of nowhere when ubuntu was running yesterday18:14
ikoniaBandC: so I suspect it's not been able to get an IP for a while and the dhcp lease expired18:15
BandCmy ubuntu is a virtualbox guest under a windows host. the windows host has internet and has no problems. do you think this is an ubuntu networking issue or something outside ubuntu?18:16
ducasseBandC: could very well be a vbox issue18:17
BandCwhat's weird is nothing changed. how would i renew the dhcp lease?18:17
ducasseBandC: restart network manager should do it18:18
BandCducasse: i just did. no luck :(18:19

faekjarzfyi: apt install nvidia-361=361.42-0ubuntu2 …downgrading to previous version solved my problem …apparently there's something wrong with the latest driver18:31
elodinnhas anyone had difficulties when they last installed ubuntu?18:31
blackflowquele: in short yes, but it's a bit more involved as it might swap out unused memory even with sufficient RAM. which is good.18:31
momoterrawfaekjarz: is that to me?18:31

queleblackflow what will happen when i run out of the 2GB?18:33
queleblackflow will my system because supper slow?18:33
blackflowit will slow down if and when the OS starts swapping in and out memory18:33
BandCok ducasse will do. thanks anyways18:33
faekjarzmomoterraw: nope, uhm, well, maybe, do you struggle with "no login after nvidia driver update"? It's primarily meant as a solution to _my_ problem.18:34
queleblackflow hmm maybe i should install a different distrobution more for my 2GB system?18:34
blackflowquele: I don't know. Personally, I'd say 2GB is a bit low for running a modern desktop based on heavy environments like gnome, unity, kde18:35
blackflowquele: in fact, observing my RAM usage now on 16.04 Unity, it's 3.5GB and I have chromium running with a bunch of tabs open, nothing else.18:36

ubottuphpmyadmin (source: phpmyadmin): MySQL web administration tool. In component universe, is extra. Version 4:4.6.4+dfsg1-1 (yakkety), package size 3732 kB, installed size 23974 kB20:05
yocs0000thank you OerHeks .... it is for newbies, for example my wife :) .... why do we make things so unfriendly on linux?20:07
Flannelyocs0000: mysql-workbench, the same workbench available on other OSes20:08
OerHekshttps://launchpad.net/mysql-workbench20:09
OerHeksand there is a good wiki too, https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/mysql.html20:09
yocs0000Flannel: yes, but the workbench does not connect to the sever when you start it20:13
Flannelyocs0000: Right, you need to do that.  But once you set it up once, connecting the second time is easier, because it's saved.20:13
yocs0000Flannel: yes, but you have to udnerstand that if I do it, I use the CLI, if it is a newbie, for example thw wife, she would like to fire it up and start using it20:14
Flannelyocs0000: SQL isn't inheritly "newbie friendly", that's just the nature of the beast.20:14
yocs0000Flannel: ok let's reformulate the question: how does my wife create anew mysql database?20:15
yocs0000Flannel: like you would do on Windows or on OSX.20:15
Flannelyocs0000: MySQL workbench is the *identical* MySQL Workbench one would use on OSX or Windows.  So... I suppose one would do it "the same way"20:16
yocs0000Flannel: no, because when you launch it it does not connect to the sever, it returns an error20:16
timvisherdoes working with a particular version of ubuntu mean you're working with a particular version of upstart? is there a way to check the version of upstart you're working with?20:17
Flannelyocs0000: Normal MySQL Workbenches on windows doesn't connect to a server when you first start it.  I can tell you that from personal experience.20:17
yocs0000Flannel: yes, you click on the sever you want to manage and it connects20:17
yocs0000Flannel: in ubuntu you click on the server an it return a host of errors20:18
Flannelyocs0000: Well, it's the same program, so it should function identically.  Is it possible that the server you're connecting to isn't configured properly?20:18
yocs0000Flannel: nope, it is configured properly.  SO, what is the sever password in ubuntu?20:19
yocs0000Flannel: the default one.20:20
Flannelyocs0000: There is no default one.20:20
yocs0000Flannel: you see the problem?20:20
Flannelyocs0000: No.20:20
catbadgerI'm having problems with jackd20:20
Flannelyocs0000: Sounds like you haven't finished setting up MySQL on Ubuntu.20:20
catbadgeranyone a jack genius?20:20
Flannelyocs0000: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#After_installing_MySQL20:21
Flannelyocs0000: That's stuff you have to do after installing MySQL to get your users/etc setup.20:21
Flannelyocs0000: Once you follow that (which is pretty straightforward), you'll be good to go.20:21
yocs0000Flannel: yes, that is not the issue here .... I know how to do that, the issue here is that a newbie cannot do that without having troubles20:21
ioriaguis sometimes are for experts users, and cli for newbies20:22
Flannelyocs0000: If you'd like to discuss the philosphy behind the default configuration, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic.  This is a channel for technical support, not discussions.20:22
yocs0000ioria: good point, that is why everybody can use a Mac but people find Linux so difficult20:22

ioriayocs0000, what's the prob with phpadmin ?20:23
yocs0000Flannel: actually no, I asked a question which is "how can a newbie create a mysql database?" which is a technical question ....20:23
yocs0000ioria: that you need to configure the password, and a newbie has difficulties in doing that20:24
Flannelyocs0000: and I answered that.  Once you've gotten into "why", you're now discussing the philosophy behind the configuration, which is a great topic for #ubuntu-offtopic, but is not technical support, and does not belong in #ubuntu20:24
yocs0000Flannel: no, you send a very complicated document whihc no newbie can go through ....20:25
naccyocs0000: "I am looking for graphic tools to manager mysql server for a newbie". You never asked the question which you claimed to have asked.20:25
Flannelyocs0000: Please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.20:25
yocs0000Flannel: I am asking if there is a simple way (newbie level)20:25
yocs0000Flannel:it is the same question rephrased.20:25
ioriayocs0000, this is not complicated : https://www.unixmen.com/how-to-install-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-15-10/20:26
Flannelyocs0000: Following a few steps to configure your server is "the newbie way", it's also the non-newbie way.  So yes, those instructions are the instructions.20:26
yocs0000Flannel: ioria: Ok, forget it thank you.20:26
Flannelyocs0000: Furthermore, and again, this really belongs in #ubuntu-offtopic, trying to set up a server without ever consulting any documentation is a fools errand.  You shouldn't be running random services on your machine without knowing anything about them.  This leads to situations which are similar to the IoT DDOS, because of "default passwords" and things like that.20:28
lucdalpeI am looking for a Whizard capable to integrate TO_Affiliate Odoo module...20:31

DruidHello, I've installed kde neon (ubuntu with kde) with encrypted /home. When I suspend it and try to enter password for session it doesnt work. This is probably because of lvm encryption. Any fix?20:48

technocfHey, I'm finally going to say goodbye to Windows.  Regarding stability, for a desktop PC with daily use, would you recommend 16.04.1 or 16.10.  Is there really going to be much difference between the LTS and the other?20:53
Seven_Six_Twotechnocf, I'd recommend staying with the LTS.20:54
ioriaAnonyFox,   your usb is sdb... you can mount  that with   sudo mount /dev/sdbX/   mountpoit;    mkdir ~/mountpoint and sudo mount /dev/sdbX  ~/mountpoint20:55
technocfSeven_Six_Two: I'll do that, although any particular reason?20:55
Seveastechnocf: non-lts have 9 months of support, so you'll be upgrading more often. So you get newer versions of evereything, but it takes more work.20:55
ioriaAnonyFox,   sdbX can be sdb1 or sdb220:56
Seven_Six_Twobecause focus stops being new features and only gets bug and security fixes, so you'll have a better chance at a good experience without so much work.20:56
technocfSeveas: LTS are 2 years of support am I correct in saying?20:56
AnonyFoxMkmkdir: cannot create directory '/home/tommi/mountpoint': File exists20:57
Seven_Six_Twotechnocf, you can always upgrade from the lts to the next version if you need to, but you can't go back. you can never go back.20:57
ioriaAnonyFox,   mkdir ~/mountpoint_220:57
technocfWell, I don't really mind upgrading when the time comes.  The question really is whether or not I'll have issues with instability, well, I guess the software wouldn't be released if it were buggy.20:58
Seven_Six_Twothere's always bugs. in everything. but LTS is about keeping everything stable.20:59
elodinntechnocf: they don't always know about bugs until release20:59
elodinnI had some problems with non-LTS in terms of stability, but it was long (years) ago20:59
technocfOkay, well, thanks for the advice.  Have a good morning / afternoon / night :)21:00

plujonIs there particular hardware on which Ubuntu is practically guaranteed to work on, say, for the next 5 years?  I would like to avoid problems such as being unable to login after applying a recent update"21:02
=== nya is now known as Guest529
Seveasplujon: nothing is guaranteed in life.21:07
Seven_Six_Twoplujon, stay away from nvidia drivers. maybe go with intel integrated21:07
Seveastechnocf: LTS is 5 years21:07
Seveasthough there's a new one ever 221:07
Seven_Six_Twobeing unable to login after an update? Has that ever happened?21:08
Seveasplujon: I've been using Ubuntu on dell latitude laptops since 2006 with very few issues I didn't cause myself.21:08
Seven_Six_Twomaybe X doesn't start, or I get a low res mode, but I've never not been able to login21:08
Seveascurrently on an e725021:08
plujonX doesn't start == unable to login for somebody such as my mom21:08
Seven_Six_Twothere is no fail proof version of anything then21:09
plujonHer computer has nvidia hardware.21:09
Seveasmine has a dell optiplex, and I do the updates for her :)21:09
Seven_Six_Twothey provide a binary blob, so even if someone wanted to, they couldn't guarantee it works21:10
plujonI don't well understand the driver scene on linux, especially with respect to nvidia.21:10
kk4ewtnvidia is better than AMD21:10
Seven_Six_Twobut then again, nobody can guarantee that windows works. but I find linux more fixable, at the expense of a learning curve.21:10
plujonWhat are the most stable drivers for somebody using GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, and how does one ensure they are installed?21:10
Seven_Six_Twoplujon, the driver manager will suggest the best one21:11
kk4ewtthose # dont make sense21:11
plujonSeven_Six_Two: The driver manager?  Does that require X to be working?21:11

Seven_Six_Twonvidia provides drivers without source code, so it's a black box.21:12

naccdave_s: i'm not sure that installing upstart makes it the init-system on its own; by default it's systemd in 16.0421:16

naccSeveas: intersting; apt-cache is not an accurate way to check that as it relies on your local apt-cache, fwiw; but i see the same thing. `apt-cache show g++-multilib` shows it, though, probably a bug21:22

knittellof course it will cost time, but i have21:38
knittellif i could find a list with the basic words like bash & dash and so on?21:38

FManTropyxhello22:12
tonygagaSo i got this strange problem: i recently was updating when the time change happened so it told me it took 2^32 days to complete, apart from being funny i couldn't poweroff my system anymore and i've no idea where it got stuck.. then i changed the time in the BIOS and it worked again. so i changed it back and it couldn't poweroff again... any idea what it could be?22:15
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
tonygagai always checked when it was stuck what it already did. everything was successful apart from once there was mysqld which was in a 10min timeout22:17
FManTropyxare there accounting programs for Ubuntu?22:17
JsyncAh, .ha.ha.ha.ha22:18
naccFManTropyx: yes22:20
naccFManTropyx: search the software center or `apt-cache search`22:20
JFlashhi, so I bought a thumb drive and created a bootable drive with a software called unetbootin22:23
JFlashbut whatever I choose from my boot menu or bios boot order, it always boots back to existing ubuntu instalation, not from the drive22:23
JFlashwhat could be wrong?22:24
Bashing-omJFlash: Rgat pops to mind is a bad copy to the USB device OR grub not installed onto the device .22:26
Bashing-omWhat *22:26
JFlash_sorry I lost connection22:26
JFlash_please help22:26
JFlash_btw, both the port and the stick are usb 3.022:26
tonygagaJFlash_: do you select a distro with unetbootin or do you select your own ISO image ?22:27
Bashing-omJFlash_: What pops to mind is a bad copy to the USB device OR grub not installed onto the device . Does it boot in another machine ?22:27
JFlash_select my own iso that I downloaded from the ubuntu studio website22:30
JFlash_tonygaga, that22:30
JFlash_Bashing-om, haven't tried..22:30
tonygagaJFlash_: have you tried on another machine?22:30
tonygagaoh22:30
JFlash_no I dont have another22:30
tonygagaanother stick ?22:31
JFlash_nope, but  I can try another port or another disk maker22:31
JFlash_what really anoys me is that I cannot even tell which drive is what22:31
tonygagausually the usb-disk-creater works just fine22:31
JFlash_because appearently evything is called samsung22:31
tonygagaunplug the others22:32
JFlash_i mean sandisk22:32
tonygagado you have a working linux machine=?22:32
JFlash_there's "sandisk ultra" and another thing "sandisk <long number here>22:32
JFlash_ i have this one , it's the same one running ubuntu22:32

JFlash_ok then22:33
JFlash_how can I tell what is the name of my ssd drive from inside the bios?22:34
JFlash_it doest tell me sizes or anything22:34

OerHeksJFlash, so it is not your only machine, i did not see you leave here :-D23:01
hiwkneo_: what?23:01
neo_All I read about using dpkg --set-selections involves the same version.23:01
neo_I am trying to migrate my packages from 16.04 to 16.10 on a new computer i bought23:01
Bashing-omneo_: No, think version control .23:02
hiwkneo_: what do you mean by "migrate"?23:02
OerHeksneo_, if they are ubuntu packages, maybe a bad idea23:02
neo_yeah they binaries23:03
neo_packages23:03
hiwkneo_: why?23:03

neo_Hello any answer23:06
hiwkneo_: unless you describe why you would want that, my suggestion is "don't, just install t he packages you want on the new pakages when you need them"23:08
neo_hiwk: you buy a new laptop and you wanna migrate all your old programs23:09
hiwkneo_: why?23:10
neo_hiwk: but your new latop you have Ubuntu 16.10 instead of 16.04 like your old one23:10
hiwkneo_: apt-get install the ones you want on the new computer23:10
neo_hiwk: because it is a long list of programs on your old computer you cant keep track of23:10
hiwkif you don't remember the old program, you probably don't need them23:10
hiwkjust install whenever you try to start a program that isn't already installed23:11
neo_hiwk: yeah but there are also dependencies and libraries and what not23:11
hiwkapt-get install23:11
neo_hiwk: I just wish  I can have them all preloaded23:12
hiwkok23:12
OerHeksthis gives a list of metapackages you have installed >> apt-cache search . | grep -i "metapackage\|meta-package"23:12
OerHeksor go wild with your 16.04 packages with apt-clone or something23:13

JFlashso guys23:16
JFlashsince the bootable drive option does sseem it will work23:17
JFlashcan  install ubuntu studio alongside current ubuntu, like in another partition23:17
JFlashwhere can I find a tutorial on how to do this?23:17
JFlash(hopefully it doent involve using a usb stick!)23:18
Ben64you can, i don't see the point though, you can do anything in ubuntu you can do in studio23:18
JFlashwell but it comes preconfigured23:18
JFlashi'd have to install the low latency kernel and all that23:18
JFlashI'm a novice user, I need something that is already preconfigured :(23:19
ikoniawhy do you need both though23:19
ikoniawhy not just use ubuntu studio if thats what you want preconfigured23:20
JFlashwell i just dont want to do away with my current setup. ubuntu studio is like something I will need for a few hours once per week23:20
JFlashmy regular instalation I use evryday and it's very customised to my needs23:20
ikoniabut you can do everything you do in ubuntu in ubuntu studio23:20
JFlashcustom terminal custom fonts etc23:20
ikoniacustomized in what way23:20
ikoniayou can transfer that across quite easy23:21
