| benguitar | Another question for you guys, have any of you experienced or resolved the random 'pop' in audio when adjusting the volume level on your soundcard after 'x' amount of time? I've noticed this with both internal and external soundcards, and I'm led to believe that it has something to do with power saving or the soundcard going to 'sleep' Thoughts? I'm using 16.04 LTS Budgie | 00:01 |

| protn | hi folks | 00:13 |
| protn | how I refresh dns cache via cli? | 00:13 |
| benguitar | kk4ewt, I missed the first part of your message, but I'll have to look at the hardware for cold solder, the weird part is that I'm talking about two different soundcards having the same problem, one is attached via USB, one if direct 1/8" out from my motherboard. | 00:14 |
| kk4ewt | benguitar, so test another usb device and see if it has issues at time as well | 00:15 |
| benguitar | kk4ewt, ah.. time to go find another USB device to toy with. | 00:16 |

| benguitar | kk4ewt, Having tried two different aux cables and two different outputs (line out and headphone out) the pop follows. It seems to happen intermittently on both aux out and a USB device. Hmm | 00:31 |

| gadget | is anyone using powerline in 16.04? I'm havning trouble getting vim to use a powerline statusline. | 00:57 |
| gadget | I add the rtp as dist-packages/powerline ... but it only works when I source the p...vim in vim from the prompt | 00:59 |
| bofh25519 | thesushimanoftao, you got "not syncing" message? | 00:59 |
| thesushimanoftao | yup | 01:00 |
| thesushimanoftao | tried to follow boot-repair instructions from live cd, and ultimate boot disk | 01:00 |
| thesushimanoftao | both failed so I am reinstalling | 01:01 |
| thesushimanoftao | was able to recover data | 01:01 |
| bofh25519 | thesushimanoftao, dos that have to do w/ early stage hardware detection? | 01:01 |
| bofh25519 | does | 01:01 |
| thesushimanoftao | unsure as to cause, only that boot repair is supposed to work | 01:02 |
| thesushimanoftao | gave me problems with grup repair needing repositories | 01:02 |
| bofh25519 | thesushimanoftao, would be goo to try to get the booting logs to get where it got stucked | 01:02 |
| thesushimanoftao | i got the boot info file | 01:02 |
| thesushimanoftao | from boot-repair | 01:03 |
| bofh25519 | thesushimanoftao, Im inclined to tackle it on hardware issues (buggy/incompatible) | 01:03 |
| jalcine | gadget: you have a paste of your vimrc? | 01:04 |
| bofh25519 | thesushimanoftao, on the other hand as you told ,the bootloader may be the cause too (particularly, it never happened to me) | 01:05 |
| thesushimanoftao | reinstall complete we will see | 01:05 |
| bofh25519 | I also remember a long time ago the kernel saying "Aieeeee...": | 01:06 |
| bofh25519 | thanks God it never happened again on recent distros | 01:07 |
| tomreyn | kernel panics can have many many many causes. it's important to read the message provided by the kernel when it panics. the "not syncing" message is just a follow-up confition, doe snot hint of the root cause. | 01:07 |
| bofh25519 | it used to say "Aieee...." on non succesfull shutdown | 01:07 |
| thesushimanoftao | works again hope fir a wh8ile | 01:08 |

| mwd | so i want to run valgrind on a ubuntu 14.04 system where i don't have root and thus can't install it via apt | 01:29 |
| === red_barcheta is now known as _YYZ | ||
| mwd | is there a way to run valgrind without compiling it from scratch? | 01:29 |
| mwd | ie, some package unpacking in $HOME trick? | 01:29 |
| _YYZ | man, the questions are getting harder - only hardcore users nowadays | 01:30 |
| _YYZ | theres no innocence anymore | 01:30 |
| ixa | - | 01:37 |
| mwd | i unpacked the .deb file but it fails to find "memcheck" | 01:37 |
| mwd | sigh | 01:37 |
| nacc | mwd: i don't think there's a trivial way -- i guess you could download the .deb and extract it, but then you need to do all sorts of stuff | 01:37 |
| nacc | mwd: like you're finding, you'd need to ensure the deps are also available, etc. | 01:38 |
| nacc | mwd: can you not request the admin install valgrind? it's not a particularly harmful tool | 01:38 |
| nacc | mwd: and/or build from source, like you said | 01:38 |
| mwd | i have been waiting >1week on the ticket | 01:38 |
| mwd | build from source might work, i tried it in the distant past and failed and didn't want to try again unless necessary | 01:38 |
| nacc | mwd: sounds like an infrastructure issue :/ | 01:39 |
| mwd | no kidding ;P | 01:39 |
| mwd | apt needs a feature to run packages in $HOME | 01:39 |
| nacc | mwd: you can use dpkg and do something like `dpkg -i <DEB> --force-not-root --root=/place/you/can/write/to/acts/like/root | 01:39 |
| nacc | mwd: but then you'd still have dependency hell | 01:40 |
| mwd | dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege | 01:40 |
| nacc | mwd: sorry, no idea at this point | 01:41 |
| mwd | ok no problem, thanks for the chat | 01:41 |

| rfleming | Does anyone know why audio in Ubuntu (Linux in general) always seems quieter than in Windows... | 01:51 |
| rfleming | IE, in Windows the laptop is quite loud, but is much softer in KDE/GNOME/Mate/XFCE, etc. | 01:51 |
| _YYZ | rfleming, I found that too | 01:57 |
| rfleming | I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the driver. Perhaps the proprietary driver utilises a built-in amplifier that the open-source one cannot | 01:59 |

| _YYZ | rfleming, even inside Linux: there are some apps that will show poorer sound - due to the sound architecture involved | 02:01 |

| _YYZ | and the uptime grows | 02:03 |
| squinty | mebX, typically ubuntu servers are not installed with desktop gui but you can install any of the desktop flavours on top of the basic ubuntu server release. might also want to field your question in #ubuntu-server channel | 02:04 |

| ipatrol | tmus: speaking from personal and professional knowledge, I think using an SSD as the primary drive in a laptop is a bad idea | 03:16 |
| tmus | ipatrol, i saw that post earlier but thought it inconclusive - I am using a Samsung device though, but I'm not sure of the exact model | 03:16 |
| Guest6072 | is some body use VIM here ? | 03:17 |
| NOVAtechies | Guest6072: yes people use vim | 03:17 |
| tmus | ipatrol, well - it has served me well for 5 years on multiple devices. until this new laptop, I've never had an issue - And I'm never going back either! :) | 03:17 |
| melvincv | NOVAtechies, that brings me to my next question... | 03:18 |

| melvincv | ok | 03:22 |
| wedgie | ipatrol: the reliability of ssd's has increased dramatically in the last few years. And they are especially good for laptops because they can stand up to they physical abuse of being moved around better than a spinning disk.

| anddam | I'm on OpenVZ, I just updated the system and I got "This version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 3.2 or later. Older versions might work but are not officially supported. Please consider upgrading your kernel." | 08:36 |
| anddam | I understand in openvz the kernel is constrained but what would be a proper path to system upgrade then? | 08:37 |
| anddam | are there different repositories for it and should my hosting provider offer those? | 08:37 |
| ducasse | anddam: openvz is a container system aiui, so the host provides the kernel | 08:40 |
| rootkea | Hi! How can I expand the pattern stored in a parameter? i.e. parameter expansion followed by pattern expansion | 08:43 |

| rootkea | I'm using bash BTW | 08:44 |

| FireStriker | do you use flat ubuntu | 09:04 |
| baizon | FireStriker: yes i am | 09:04 |
| anddam | ducasse:yes, the hoster provides the kernel but the userland is regular ubuntu so when I update I can have a message like the one I pasted | 09:11 |

| traceur920 | Not so familiar with Git, probably missed the link | 11:54 |

| popey | bah, fails to build here, sorry. | 11:56 |
| arm1e | Any help with wifi issues on intel chip. Often downloads fail part way, and iso's never match the checksums unless I use ethernet. Have updated to kernel 4.6.7 on 16.04 but still no luck | 11:58 |
| traceur920 | popey: how do you build this? | 11:58 |
| arm1e | Did not have this issue on other, non ubuntu installs | 11:58 |
| ikonia | arm1e: where did you get that kernel ? | 11:58 |
| arm1e | used the kernel updater tool recently released in a ppa. Hold on and I will find the tool | 11:59 |
| arm1e | http://www.teejeetech.in/2016/04/ubuntu-kernel-upgrade-utility.html | 12:00 |
| arm1e | works well | 12:00 |
| ikonia | arm1e: so basically you've moved to an unsupported kernel using an unsupported tool | 12:00 |
| arm1e | tried other, supported kernels | 12:00 |
| arm1e | also triey yakety | 12:00 |
| arm1e | *tried | 12:00 |
| ikonia | you used the kernel from yakety on your current release | 12:00 |
| arm1e | popey, I have the same wifi card as you. Do you still have issues? | 12:01 |
| arm1e | ikonia, No, I had this same issue on yakety | 12:01 |
| popey | you may or may not have the same card as me :) | 12:01 |
| popey | 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 59) | 12:01 |

| popey | that's what I have | 12:01 |
| arm1e | Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev bb) | 12:02 |

| popey | so close | 12:02 |

| popey | 4.4.0-45-generic | 12:02 |
| ikonia | FireStriker: from what ? | 12:02 |
| traceur920 | (back with problems, seems the same with the deb package ) | 12:03 |
| FireStriker | dhewm3 | 12:03 |
| ikonia | popey: didn't 2 or 3 wifi cards from intel get firmware updates back ported recently ? | 12:03 |
| arm1e | popey, 16.04? | 12:03 |
| tomreyn | traceur920: git clone https://github.com/visualboyadvance-m/visualboyadvance-m; cd visualboyadvance-m; cmake .; make -j `lscpu -p | grep -c '^[0-9]' | xargs -I '{}' expr '{}' - 1` | 12:05 |
| popey | yes arm1e | 12:05 |
| popey | ikonia: pass | 12:05 |
| arm1e | popey, lucky bugger | 12:05 |
| popey | 12:05:36 up 18 days, 19:10, 17 users, load average: 0.73, 0.97, 0.97 | 12:05 |
| popey | seems to work okay here. not sure what is causing it for others, I know there's a few issues around this which are being looked into | 12:05 |
| arm1e | popey, which kernel | 12:05 |
| popey | look up | 12:06 |
| popey | I'd file a bug if I were you, at least | 12:06 |
| traceur920 | tomreyn, thank you, will try but seems I do not have some old libraries | 12:06 |
| traceur920 | too old to be installed | 12:06 |
| tomreyn | traceur920: and it builds for me (on ubuntu 16.04 x86_64), but i think building a specific software is considered OT here (maybe #ubuntu-offtopic would work if you have a registered nickname) | 12:07 |
| traceur920 | Oh, ok, sorry :) | 12:08 |
| traceur920 | tomreyn, no luck, same errors... anyway thanks! | 12:09 |
| FireStriker | ikonia: im using dhewm3 to install doom3 | 12:10 |
| tomreyn | traceur920: as i said, it builds fine for me on 16.04. do you have something newer then? | 12:10 |
| traceur920 | Lubuntu 16.04.1 counts as new? | 12:11 |
| tomreyn | traceur920: that's the same release | 12:11 |
| tomreyn | (just a different blend) | 12:12 |
| tomreyn | you probably just lack some build dependency (*-dev) packages. | 12:13 |
| traceur920 | libatkmm-1.6-1 --> 2.22.1 and a bunch of SFML libraries that cannot be installed, but no idea why | 12:13 |
| tomreyn | traceur920: we can talk in #ubuntu-offtopic for a bit if you like | 12:15 |

| traceur920 | sure | 12:18 |

| gde33 | is it normal for things like indicator-datetime-service and evolution-calendar-factory-subprocess to be using over a gb in virtua memory? | 13:47 |
| gde33 | each | 13:48 |
| TJ- | gde33: the 'virtual memory' usually indicates all the shared libraries in use, which are shared across multiple processes but are only in memory once | 13:49 |

| maria_o | I am on a macbook Sierra. Is it possible to install ubuntu as a side OS? I mean choose one of them on restart? (without rEFInd or such) | 13:49 |

| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | s/falt/flat | 13:50 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | i used to use ultra-flat-icons but theyre not available for 16.10 yet | 13:56 |
| TJ- | gde33: When a shared object is loaded by the kernel it is mapped into each process's virtual memory addresses from a single mapping in the kernel's mapping, so that it doesn't use up memory space with duplicates | 13:57 |
| gde33 | TJ-: I guess I'm just confused by it being called datetime and calendar | 13:58 |
| gde33 | those are just the first processes mapping objects? | 13:59 |
| TJ- | gde33: as far as i recall they are 'backend' services from the Evolution package in Gnome uses to provide the same services to the desktop. I agree that Gnome/Unity seems to be needlessly top-heavy in that respect. | 13:59 |
| TJ- | gde33: example - say we have libexmaple.so loaded by example.exe ... then if later example2.exe also loads libexample.so the Linux kernel will simply map its existing image into example2.exe's virtual memory address space | 14:00 |
| gde33 | ye makes sense | 14:01 |
| TJ- | gde33: so only one copy of libexample.so is actually using real, physical, RAM | 14:01 |
| TJ- | gde33: this is one of the benefits of using dynamic load libraries (DLL)/shared objects (SO) | 14:02 |
| gde33 | any way to live without the calendar thing? | 14:03 |

| gde33 | ill stop worrying and learn to love the gnome desktop :P | 14:10 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | i found this theme https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1012430/ - seems to work well and it looks nice | 14:10 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | its a flat icon theme | 14:10 |
| gde33 | SaIasaAllMyBoyz: what does flat mean in that context? | 14:11 |
| gde33 | a single layer? | 14:11 |
| FireStriker | hey guys im farly new to ubuntu, how do i install/use wine/playonlinux | 14:11 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | frankly, i use 'flat' only as a tag for what i like | 14:11 |
| gde33 | SaIasaAllMyBoyz: I've seen it mentioned before | 14:11 |
| maria_o | Guys is ubuntu much lighter than windows? can work with less hardware support? is that true or just a sroty. | 14:12 |
| maria_o | story | 14:13 |
| elias_a | True. | 14:13 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | maria_o, are you Romanian? | 14:13 |
| elias_a | maria_o: Try it. You will be surprized. :) | 14:13 |
| gde33 | dSaIasaAllMyBoyz: ic, it is just a buzz word used for simple | 14:13 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | we can have a simple icon thats not a flat icon | 14:14 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | i hate semantics | 14:14 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | too subtle, too subtle for my mind | 14:15 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | i wish the design freeze at 'flat' stage - flat is just perfect, lets stop evolve | 14:16 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | there are already people wondering "whats next?" | 14:17 |
| TJ- | SaIasaAllMyBoyz: flat is bad for icons; the entire point of the 3D relief/borders is to give clear context around an 'active' GUI component. | 14:17 |
| maria_o | elias_a: it's more slower than my windows 7 | 14:17 |
| TJ- | SaIasaAllMyBoyz: for people with visual or perception difficulties that can be vital | 14:17 |
| maria_o | elias_a: Everythings lags.. | 14:17 |
| SchrodingersScat | maria_o: and there's flavors lighter than ubuntu, like xubuntu (my personal fav) and lubuntu | 14:17 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | TJ-, gray means disabled, find another color for 'clicked' | 14:18 |
| user1786519 | maria_o: depends on your luck. and hardware | 14:18 |
| Seventeen | Hi everybody. Need help with something. What chan should I ask in? | 14:19 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | ubuntu has a new feature: if n app stops responding, it gets darker | 14:19 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | its quite nice | 14:19 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | a windowed app | 14:19 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | i dont know if its new, but i do know i just discovered it | 14:20 |
| elias_a | maria_o: Same hardware? You have to have something misconfigured. | 14:21 |
| TJ- | SaIasaAllMyBoyz: you're missing the point - the border of a button, or check-box, distinguishes it. Some people will not be able to recognise colour variations | 14:21 |
| SaIasaAllMyBoyz | ok, TJ- | 14:21 |
| elias_a | maria_o: Are you sure you have a swap partition? | 14:21 |
| TJ- | maria_o: are you using Ubuntu with Unity or Gnome, that require '3D' accelerated video drivers? | 14:21 |
| elias_a | maria_o: Tell us your hardware specs. | 14:22 |

| cfhowlett | !ufw | danielnov8, | 14:32 |
| ubottu | danielnov8,: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 14:32 |

| ArchaicLord | I am afraid the OS has a /mnt/ as well and its to ambiguous to distingish between the two | 14:43 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: you can use any regular directory as a mount-point, as long as it exists. It helps if it is empty since if you mount over a directory that has content that content will be invisible until you un-mount | 14:43 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: well what I do is create sub-dirs under /mnt/ for each device, so e.g. "sudo mkdir /mnt/testing && sudo mount /dev/<some-device> /mnt/testing" | 14:44 |

| ArchaicLord | sorry I have ubuntu server installed on usb.. and created a raid aray for my media data and backups.. I create a raid5 array and today learned i needed ot create lvm and lv for it which is what i just finished | 15:00 |
| tomreyn | resurtm: it's not easy, and you should not install packages using dpkg, if it can be prevented. here's something which gets close to what you are looking for: sudo apt-get install apt-show-versions; apt-show-versions | grep -Ev '(not installed|uptodate)$' | 15:00 |
| ArchaicLord | so now i want to create samba share to then back up and share media save anad al that | 15:00 |
| resurtm | tomreyn, I know installing fom *.deb is not very good. But unfortunately not all software provides PPA or repos. | 15:01 |
| resurtm | tomreyn, aptitude search "~o" did what I wanted. | 15:01 |
| === kbdkoffee is now known as koffeekbd | ||
| tomreyn | yes, this does pretty much the same, i guess | 15:01 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: RAID-5 is generally discouraged in favour of RAID-6 or RAID 1+0 or RAID 0+1 (striped mirrors) - is there a reason for choosing RAID-5 - are you aware of what your recovery options will be shoud 1 or more devices fail? | 15:02 |
| resurtm | tomreyn, thanks anyway! | 15:02 |
| ArchaicLord | TJ-: I am now.. I should get a new disk on order asap | 15:02 |
| ArchaicLord | TJ-: when i read about raid i figured 5 was best for reduncay speed and space | 15:03 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: OK, just that as you're planning on relying on it, be triple-sure it can surivive and rebuild from failure | 15:03 |
| tomreyn | read again, comparing 5 to 6, then 6 to 10 / 1+0 | 15:04 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: don't wait until you hit a failure to learn, and practice, how to recover it | 15:04 |
| ArchaicLord | i know about 1+0 I done that in windows.... | 15:04 |
| ArchaicLord | its just I have 4*2tb drivce and leaving me with 2tb is just well not enough | 15:04 |

| Guest69618 | v | 15:06 |
| tomreyn | (either approach can work, depends on your use case) | 15:07 |
| ArchaicLord | whats recommended between 6 and 1+0 | 15:07 |
| ArchaicLord | I guess 1+0 is best redundncyt | 15:08 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: I always prefer mirroring because its so much easier to continue/recovery than most other configs. in a 3-disk mirror I can pull out 2 disks and still have a complete file-system to work with | 15:08 |

| john__ | how do i get rid of it so that i can go through the process again | 15:51 |

| beantaxi | MonkeyDust: I did not have to enter a password at any point. I created the account with --disabled-password, and added a public key to the user's authorized_keys as root. | 15:57 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: with mdadm you need to --zero-superblock to remove existing metadata from the disks then start creating the new array | 15:57 |
| beantaxi | tomreyn: Thanks, I read that earlier. AHHHHhhhh now I get it. I thought I was covered, since my user is in sudo and /etc/sudoers gives privileges to the sudo group. But, I need NOPASSWD on a user by user basis | 15:59 |

| TJ- | beantaxi: don't write to /etc/sudoers. Simply add a file per purpose in /etc/sudoers.d/ then you simply copy files into place using your orchestration/config tooling or scp | 16:04 |
| beantaxi | TJ-: Thanks. I like that. | 16:04 |

| motorolaman | Bluetooth Audio problems: paired but not connected, host down and other error messages are the usual result when I have paired and trusted headset. | 16:25 |
| motorolaman | when i reboot i usually have to remove the (already trusted and paired device) in order to reconnect it to play audio until the next reboot | 16:26 |
| motorolaman | this happens in Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and Arch Linux is bluetooth audio still flaky and not reliable? | 16:27 |
| Seventeen | motorolaman: Without any experience, I would guess yes. | 16:30 |
| motorolaman | i have tried 4 different headsets and 3 different usb dongles = same result | 16:30 |
| Globalirc | i have loop problem with ubuntu 14 how i can fix this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23466506/ because i tri ctrl+c and apt-get remove sendmail and the same thing he loop infinity. | 16:30 |
| Globalirc | try* | 16:30 |
| motorolaman | remove headset from trusted paired list, reboot then search trust and connect | 16:30 |
| motorolaman | i also experience this with Windows 7 exact same scenario | 16:31 |
| MonkeyDust | motorolaman if it works on neither system, then it must be a hardware issue | 16:32 |
| Seventeen | Well in that case yeah it must be hardware rather than Linux. | 16:33 |
| motorolaman | anyone else use bluetooth headphones ? | 16:35 |
| MonkeyDust | vinyl records + 'old school' amplifier FTW | 16:35 |
| Globalirc | someone know how to end infinite loop with apt-get ? | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Globalirc ctrl-c | 16:37 |
| hippybear | hardcore | 16:38 |
| motorolaman | the only reliable way i can use headset is wired, bluetooth audio is still experimental | 16:39 |
| Guy1524 | so windows has done it again, my computer boots into windows instead of ubuntu now | 16:39 |
| Guy1524 | how do I change this? | 16:39 |
| Globalirc | MonkeyDust i know that but when i try uninstall the package caused this infinite loop he do the same | 16:40 |

| MonkeyDust | Globalirc workoaround: use synaptic to uninstall the package | 16:41 |
| andywork | motorolaman: I have had some issues with this on various older distributions, however bluetooth audio works better in Ubuntu 16.10 | 16:42 |
| andywork | motorolaman: I may have to turn on/off the headset one or two times until it starts playing my tunes, but after that initialization process, it works well | 16:43 |
| TJ- | ArchaicLord: yes, it always make sense to do that. I use the serial numbers from "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" to confirm those | 16:44 |

| === Trystam is now known as Tristam | ||
| TJ- | fearwax: "nomodeset" added to the kernel command-line in the boot-loader would be the usual way, if the problem is caused by modesetting. Other issues can be having more than one display device connected (e.g. external monitor on a laptop) | 17:19 |

| aruns | I have invoked a session with the interpreter on the command line. | 18:32 |

| aruns | I typed in the supposed commands for quitting the interpreter from the CLISP online documentation, but none of the commands seem to work. | 18:33 |
| serious-girl | no i do not | 18:33 |
| Fabrizio[m] | aruns, If I remember right it should work if you type quit or exit | 18:33 |
| aruns | Fabrizio[m]: I typed in both but it seems to output 'Break 1 [20]>' | 18:33 |
| aruns | At the moment. | 18:34 |
| tomreyn | !terminal | serious-girl | 18:34 |
| ubottu | serious-girl: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER.

| aruns | Although mine's the 2010 MacBook Pro. | 18:37 |
| aruns | tomreyn: Apt-get is just a wrapper for aptitude, isn't it? | 18:37 |

| dury | serious-girl, follow tomreyn | 18:37 |

| tomreyn | aruns: no, its a separate application doing roughly the same thing | 18:37 |

| aruns | Oh, is Mr RMS a huge PHP proponent? | 18:44 |
| aruns | :P | 18:44 |
| TheDiveO | tomreyn: yes, of course: it fails on (re?) mounting my / and swap partitions with a timeout. | 18:44 |
| soshick | Hi | 18:45 |
| tomreyn | TheDiveO: did you make any changes which could have broken it? | 18:45 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: have you tried booting it with an older kernel, from the boot menu > Advanced options, sub-menu? | 18:45 |
| soshick | how come Ubuntu works much slower than Windows 7 at my laptop? Did I set something wrong? | 18:46 |
| arooni | i have ubuntu 16.04 on my t420 lenovo laptop. apparently everytime i take the laptop to suspend; and then resume it seems to have a kernel panic (caps lock button flashing). there are some updates i can install; but anything else i can do? | 18:46 |
| TJ- | soshick: it depends what aspect is slower. Accessing storage devices? drawing the screen? doing CPU intensive tasks? | 18:46 |
| TheDiveO | tomreyn: Yes, doesn't change anything, tried three or four of previous kernels. HDD otherwise seems to work correctly, gets mounted ro on boot and no issues. fscl | 18:46 |
| jatt | arooni: install a newer kernel and check whether the issue is solved: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 18:47 |
| TheDiveO | tomreyn: fsck'd also without any apparent defects | 18:47 |
| soshick | TJ-: even when I type an address on firefox. Some times words follows behind the keyboard.. | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | TheDiveO: my question was whether you made any changes which may have introduced this problem - since you seems to imply it worked fine before? | 18:48 |
| tomreyn | like, other than just installing ubuntu updates | 18:49 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: if it times out looking for the root FS, that is during initial ramdisk execution (initrd.img). That suggests there could be missing kernel modules or tooling to support the device where the root FS resides. Is it encrypted? is it RAID? is it LVM? is it ext4, btrfs, zfs, etc? | 18:49 |
| TheDiveO | tomreyn: woken up system today, did usual update which required a reboot, so I rebooted. Shutdown hung already. Rebooted. Hang. | 18:49 |
| TheDiveO | tomreyn: unencrypted, no raid, no lvm, it's ext4 standard (K)Ubuntu install | 18:50 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, simply hangs or you get 'Welcome to Emergency Mode' or stuff ? | 18:50 |
| Fabrizio[m] | soshick: maybe you just need to update the graphic drivers | 18:50 |
| TheDiveO | hangs for 1 minute or so with boot screen animation, then drops into the "Welcome to Emergency Mode" stuff :( | 18:51 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, so maybe you can access from recovery ? | 18:52 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: Try intercepting the boot manager again, edit the kernel command line and add "break=mountroot" and boot - that'll drop you to a shell in the initrd *just before* it tries to mount the root FS and you can check the device that hosts it is present | 18:52 |
| arooni | jatt: which kernel should i have? | 18:52 |
| jatt | arooni: which kernel are you using now? (uname -a) | 18:52 |
| arooni | Linux LilArooni 4.4.0-47-generic #68-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 26 19:39:52 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 18:54 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: okay, I'm now at the (initramfs) prompt | 18:54 |
| arooni | jatt: just ran the update + upgrade process; updated 150 packages or so; | 18:55 |
| arooni | and now it seems to resume foine | 18:55 |
| arooni | any reason not to enable unattended upgrades ? | 18:55 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: df gives just /dev and /run yet | 18:55 |
| jatt | arooni: I don't think so I have them activated and works fine | 18:56 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: OK, do you know which device the root FS is on? | 18:56 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: nope, doesn't help in that I can mount and continue boot, but then the AMD gfx won't be initialized correctly. | 18:57 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: yes, sda2 | 18:57 |
| soshick | Fabrizio[m]: how do I update the graphic drivers.. also the "hardinfo" is the good one to get info about harddrive? | 18:57 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: try "ls /sys/block/" to see what devices are known right now. ignore all the ram* and so on, look for sd? mmc? and so on | 18:57 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, that's normal, when you resume from recovery | 18:57 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: ls gives me sda being available | 18:58 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: if /dev/sda exists then try "grep sda /proc/partitions" to ensure the kernel knows about the partitions | 18:58 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: if we know sda2 is known, you sohuld be able to do an "fsck /dev/sda2" to prove its OK | 18:58 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: that works too, seeing sda with partitions 1-3 | 18:58 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: fsck gives clean | 18:59 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: mount is by UUID, not device name | 18:59 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: OK, so things are looking good. Now lets find out what the kernel has been told is the root FS: "cat /proc/cmdline" and look for the "root=..." parameter which will probably show a UUID ? | 19:00 |
| soshick | How do I check if my graphic card driver is updated or not. Would "Hardinfo" report help? https://paste.ubuntu.com/23467188/ | 19:01 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: cannot recall if blkid is in initrd, if it is, you can do "blkid /dev/sda2" if not try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/" to see if udev's view of sda2 matches the expected kernel UUID | 19:01 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: yes, its ref'ing the root partition by UUID | 19:01 |
| ioria | could a mismatch in the fstab uuids | 19:01 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: if "root=..." and /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx -> /dev/sda2 match then we can look further | 19:01 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: blkid is present, gives me correct UUID (much fun as debugging IPv6 addresses) | 19:02 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: as ioria suggested, now "cat /etc/fstab" check that also matches | 19:02 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: these checks just confirm the disk labels haven't changed, which can otherwise catch you out big time in these situations | 19:03 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: erm, no /etc/fstab here...?! | 19:03 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: it's empty, 0 length | 19:03 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, ls /etc/ftsab | 19:04 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, ls /etc/fstab | 19:04 |
| viju | Hello | 19:04 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: typo here, but my fingers automatically do fstab ;) but yes, my /etc/fstab is empty! | 19:05 |
| viju | I don't see mate in the list of desktops, I am using 16 .04 | 19:05 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, ok, but it exists ? | 19:05 |
| MonkeyDust | TheDiveO have you installed mate? | 19:05 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: that should be OK on a basic install because the running /init shell script gets the root device from the kernel command line via that root=... param | 19:05 |
| viju | MonkeyDust: yes I installed mate | 19:05 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, you're not in recovery ? | 19:06 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: I'm in (initramfs) | 19:06 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, oh | 19:06 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: lets prove you can mount sda2. "mkdir -p /mnt/rootfs; mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/rootfs; ls -al /mnt/rootfs" and then if it is there, youn can explore | 19:08 |
| viju | I followed this https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/mate-desktop-114-for-xenial-xerus/ | 19:08 |
| MonkeyDust | viju you cannot logout, switch, login? is mate listed in this file /usr/share/xsessions | 19:08 |
| viju | no | 19:09 |
| viju | It's not listed there | 19:09 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: yes, this works (gives some ext2 ext3 warnings which should be useless me thinks) | 19:09 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: that'll be the kernel ext4 driver likely, because it does fallback support for those | 19:10 |
| radik | hello | 19:10 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: OK, so see what "cat /mnt/rootfs/etc/fstab" reports - is that properly populated? | 19:10 |
| MonkeyDust | viju oh, you used a ppa? no need, simply type sudo apt install mate | 19:10 |
| viju | MonkeyDust: okay, how do I remove that ppa and all that is installed now? | 19:11 |
| MonkeyDust | viju with ppa-purge (or purge-ppa, i forget) | 19:11 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: looks sane, has to correct UUID for / and says mount as ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 19:12 |
| MonkeyDust | !ppa-purge | viju | 19:12 |
| ubottu | viju: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 19:12 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: btw, did no BIOS upgrades, changes, or anything; in fact didn't touched that system part for more than a year now | 19:12 |
| viju | MonkeyDust: fine and how do I remove the desktop, since it's not even usable to me now? | 19:12 |
| viju | Okay does that remove the packages as well? | 19:13 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: OK, so let's have a working hypothesis that the initrd side might be OK, and lets try rebooting with "init=/bin/bash" on the kernel command-line instead, which should start a bash shell rather than starting systemd's init daemon | 19:13 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: if that works we've narrowed the issue down to systemd/init | 19:14 |
| monolith | Hey | 19:14 |
| rexwin_ | why can't I run visudo in my ubuntu system. sudo visudo runs perfectly. but in my other ubuntu system visudo runs perfectly? | 19:14 |
| monolith | I'm doing a cyber security competition in a vm | 19:14 |
| monolith | Don't worry, I'm not asking for help cheating | 19:15 |
| monolith | But while editing the PAM files, I believe I made a typo | 19:15 |
| MonkeyDust | viju after you removed the ppa, logout and press ctrl-alt-f1 ... then: sudo apt install mate | 19:15 |
| monolith | And consequently locked myself out of root | 19:15 |
| viju | ok | 19:15 |
| monolith | Whenever I try using root: sudo: PAM authentication error: Module is unknown | 19:16 |
| monolith | sudo: PAM authentication error: Module is unknown | 19:16 |
| monolith | can't edit the file using startup media or something | 19:16 |
| TJ- | monolith: you'll need to reboot the VM in recovery mode to have a root shell to fix it, or else mount its file-system in your host and edit it that way | 19:16 |
| viju | that command is not found, MonkeyDust | 19:16 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: done, am now in root shell | 19:16 |
| monolith | I tried using the drop shell | 19:16 |
| MonkeyDust | viju what command? | 19:16 |
| monolith | Just remembered that the password is the root one, not user one | 19:17 |
| monolith | That would be my issue | 19:17 |
| monolith | Sorry for bothering you | 19:17 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: That's promising! what does "cat /proc/mounts | grep '/ ' " show? | 19:17 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: df gives / as /dev/sda2, clean | 19:17 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: mounted rw, not ro ? | 19:17 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: ups, its "ro", not "rw"! | 19:18 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: OK, not a problem right now, that is eexpected | 19:18 |
| viju | MonkeyDust: got it working, it's add-apt-repository --remove ppa:<path> | 19:18 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: but now we know the problem is in the initrd, its something to do with systemd/init and it remounting the root fs | 19:19 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: says /dev/sda2 / ext4 ro, relatime,data=ordered 0 0 | 19:19 |
| hemlpease | I have just updated my Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS to kernel 4.8.0.... ... are there any updates after that kernel or ? | 19:19 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: but now we know the problem is NOT in the initrd - typo! | 19:19 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: that was also my noob's suspection that there might be some systemd misham. And no, no systemd bashing here :) | 19:20 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: so now you need to get systemd to output some debuig info. This could be painful since its debug output scrolls so fast and gets lost but it may pause when/if it has a problem, so reboot (again!) and add only "debug" to the kernel command-line | 19:21 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: that's also the reason I'm asking for help here instead of just trying to switch to old device names | 19:21 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: go ahead, how can I poke systemd? | 19:21 |
| MonkeyDust | hemlpease https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel | 19:22 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: systemd has a neat facility whereby it creates block device service files at boot using 'generators'; I've had those go wrong on me at times so its possible you've been caught by something similar | 19:22 |
| MonkeyDust | hemlpease nvm, that page hasnt been updated since january 2015 | 19:23 |
| soshick | Please can some one tell me if my graphic card driver is fine with current instalation http://prnt.sc/d6fzk2 | 19:23 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: so reboot with "debug" on the kernel command-line, see if you can read any important clues if/when the debug text output stops. You may need to hit the escape key to see the text messages if you usualyl have a graphical splash screen at boot | 19:23 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: now waiting for dev-sda3.device | 19:24 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: Hmmm? "sda3" - what is that partition used for? | 19:24 |
| hemlpease | ok.. | 19:24 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: no, but it's also waiting for the UUID of my sda2 to mount. | 19:24 |
| hemlpease | I've found the 4.8.2 .. kernel | 19:25 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: is "mount" included in the message? | 19:25 |
| hemlpease | question.. once I update to that kernel will I get automatic updates for said kernel or do I have to then get them myself. | 19:25 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: now says that it has timed out for /dev/disk/by\x2duuid.... | 19:25 |
| ioria | respectfully i insist fot uiids mismatch | 19:25 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: right, this does feel like the situation I encountered some time ago. which ubuntu release is it? | 19:25 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: no mount messages to be seen anywhere; it's Kubuntu 16.10 with today's updates installed from official repos | 19:26 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: let me see if I can find the bug report for the issues I saw | 19:27 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: last OK before waiting was Started Initial check file system quotas | 19:27 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, i got you wrong, or you said you can boot , resuming from Recovery (apart from the video driver issue) ? | 19:30 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: I can boot from recovery, but then I can't bring up the gfx card correctly, which is a big fail for me as this is my video editing and rendering station... :( | 19:31 |

| ioria | TheDiveO, are you in console ? | 19:39 |
| TheDiveO | TJ-: I'm now in recovery mode in root shell | 19:39 |
| TJ- | TheDiveO: in "/var/run/systemd/generator/" are a bunch of targets, there will 1 or more ending in ".wants", and in those directories symlinks to systemd services required to make the parent device/UUID available. Check the UUID of your root FS is there and has appropriate services required to make sda2 avaialable | 19:39 |

| TheDiveO | ioria: for some reason there are still 3.19.0 images there; some leftover, probably on the boot partition? I've reinstalled 16.04LTS clean, but without wiping my root, as I wanted to preserve my HOME to speed up things | 20:41 |
| p0w | any input would be nice .. been looking for a while somehow it just doenst work | 20:41 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, 3.19 is vivid 15.04 | 20:41 |
| Bashing-om | ioria: Not real handy with systemd .. but see about booting to terminal from grub ? // | 20:42 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: it's *fresh* 16.04LTS, then normal upgrade to 16.10 several weeks ago. Went smooth, no issues. | 20:42 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, he can boot (with some video issues) form recovery and resume .... | 20:42 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: What says ' sudo lshw -C display abput the card and drivr ? | 20:42 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: yeah, old junk on /boot/, have to clean it some day. | 20:43 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: I can't use any terminal it keeps going on and off and non terminal is available | 20:43 |
| crobot_ | how do I install hexchat for my ubuntu via terminal? | 20:43 |
| Seveas | crobot_: sudo apt install hexchat | 20:44 |
| freakyy | I just did apt remove purge the driver reinstalled but it doesn't work | 20:44 |
| Bashing-om | ioria: In my mind points to a X layer issue .. what results in staring the GUI from terminal ? We get any hints in terminal ? | 20:44 |
| freakyy | It says starting nvidia persistance. Daemon but then nothing anynor | 20:44 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: can boot into recovers using modified kernel cmd "gfxpayload=keep", then mount using check fs, then resume boot, and at least get to use my video editing workstation back to some working state... | 20:45 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, he can get a gui .... but only from resume | 20:45 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Remind me again. what release is this ? | 20:45 |
| freakyy | 16 | 20:45 |
| freakyy | 10 | 20:45 |
| freakyy | 16.10 | 20:45 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, he can get a gui, but only from resume | 20:45 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, i mean, i can access desktop, but only from resume | 20:46 |
| Bashing-om | ioria: Humm .. that indicates a graphic's driver issue ... as in "recovery" the fall back driver is in use, no ? | 20:46 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, yeah, but the logs say 'mount problem' .... (confused) | 20:47 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: no, no, gfx is not the issue; systemd may be, as normal boot hangs due to / and swap mount timeout. | 20:47 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: I'll now try purging the driver and then do an auto remove then install it again | 20:47 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, i'm temped to suggest you a fresh install ... sorry | 20:48 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: gfx is only because I need to do some daywork on this system, editing video with Kdenlive, so I asked for some workaround to get gfx from recovery. | 20:48 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: ioria : ' wapon --summary ' tells us what ? | 20:48 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: thought about that too, but not with three work projects pending at this time | 20:48 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, yeah, try to comment out swap in fstab ... see what happens | 20:49 |
| freakyy | Can I do that In recovery mode and the system installs dkm for right kernel | 20:49 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, nice shot | 20:49 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, comment , not comment out | 20:49 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, put a # in front of the swap line | 20:50 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: can try, but the log says that *all* mounts fail for /, swap, and UEFI/boot partitions. | 20:50 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, i know | 20:50 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: ioria make that swapon --summary . ouch misded that s ! | 20:50 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, run swapon --summary | 20:51 |

| Guest95016 | Hi guys | 20:51 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: /dev/sda3 partition 16729084 0 -1 | 20:51 |
| freakyy | It didn'twork | 20:51 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, it's ok | 20:51 |
| === Guest95016 is now known as zemberek | ||
| ioria | TheDiveO, it's really big | 20:52 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: that's on the recovery-booted system | 20:52 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, maybe too much | 20:52 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: And try from the recovery mode ' mount -o remount,rw / (Note there is no space after the comma.) ; systemctl isolate graphical.target ' be aware - That does much more than just start the GUI, it also stops everything that is not a dependancy of graphical.target. | 20:52 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: why? it's a 16G RAM machine | 20:52 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, you really need 16G swap ? | 20:53 |
| crobot_ | Seveas: thanks | 20:53 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: no, I probably don't need swap at all, as render jobs run completely in RAM, otherwise... | 20:53 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, let's try to comment it | 20:54 |
| ArchaicLord | TJ-: wow finnally completed it | 20:55 |
| peeps[lappy] | is there any cpu stress test utility that would be included on a live cd? | 20:56 |
| laclinux | yes | 20:56 |
| peeps[lappy] | or, alternatively how can I turn all fans on max to see how loud a computer can get | 20:56 |
| ArchaicLord | TJ-: ty for the help... so create raid1+0 array with LVM and LV shares... the share now auto mount on start up and shared in Samba which i can see in Windows | 20:56 |
| ArchaicLord | well happy | 20:56 |
| laclinux | peeps[lappy] there is | 20:57 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: What can you boot to ? terminal ? | 20:57 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: Bashing-om: rebooted with swap commented in fstab, but not any better, still timing out on mount | 20:57 |
| peeps[lappy] | laclinux, great, can you tell me what its called? | 20:57 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, ok | 20:57 |
| laclinux | peeps[lappy] is called Blowfish | 20:58 |
| laclinux | it will test the cpu | 20:58 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: What does the kernel show as mounted ' cat /proc/mounts ' ? | 20:58 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: well I was able to type the command now output Is http://paste.ubuntu.com/23467660/ | 20:58 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: in emergency shell before or after remount? | 20:59 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: it also says nvidia per distanced failed with result signal | 21:00 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: That days you have a driver .. but which ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' ? lets see what all is intalled ( driver conflict ?) . | 21:00 |
| harry_ | hi | 21:01 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: After the remount command . I do expect a GUI to start and thus able to do your work If ya need other services yoy will have to enable and start them manually . | 21:01 |
| freakyy | Http://paste.ubuntu.com/23467669/ | 21:02 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, he can boot to a gui .... | 21:02 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: | 21:02 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: remount works, but isolate does not help, as the system again hangs somewhere waiting for something, no GUI, nothing | 21:02 |
| ioria | Bashing-om, but only from Resume ... | 21:03 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Humm , looks good ... can you start the GUI from the guest account ? | 21:03 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: erm, I'm now in *emergency mode*, not recovery. | 21:03 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: no gdm doesn't start at all | 21:04 |
| freakyy | The system won't run any gui | 21:04 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Rgen we look and see what X thinks . Pastebin ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ' . | 21:05 |

| crobot_ | so strange... quassel irc has no information about how to uninstalling.. | 21:08 |
| izzno | Does anyone have any experience dualbooting 16.04 and 16.10? I tried installing the new 17.04 daily and that went wrong as it did not add my 16.04 to grub... | 21:08 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, last try for me; fsck.mode=skip as kernel boot param | 21:08 |
| Bashing-om | TheDiveO: Let's bavk up and regroup . What do we see if you boot to terminal from the grub boot menu ? 'e' key for edit mose -> on the line starting with linux replace quiet splash and all after with the term systemd.unit=multi-user.target . Key combo ctl+x to continue to TTY1 . | 21:09 |
| Ice_Strike | have NFS mount in fstab - if nfs server is down, how to setup auto retry? | 21:09 |

| ArchaicLord | no worrie i solved it | 21:12 |
| TheDiveO | ioria: skip doesn't help; just rebooting again | 21:12 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: okay, got TTY1 | 21:13 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: logged in | 21:13 |
| ioria | TheDiveO, good luck, Thanks Bashing-om | 21:13 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: /proc/mounts has / aka sda2 properly mounted, says rw | 21:14 |
| p0w | sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove quassel-core | 21:14 |
| p0w | sudo apt-get purge quassel-core | 21:15 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: ok i tried reinstalling the driver one more time but still didn't help | 21:16 |
| p0w | that should do it | 21:16 |

| freakyy | Be the reason | 21:21 |
| freakyy | I'll do a file system check | 21:22 |
| TheDiveO | Bashing-om: thank you for trying to help! I was always neutral to systemd, but now I'm counting systemd as a failed project. | 21:23 |
| freakyy | How to do a file system check | 21:23 |
| freakyy | Ok found out | 21:25 |
| freakyy | Scanning file system now | 21:25 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: easiest way is from grub, add the boot parameter ' fsck.mode=force ' . | 21:26 |
| === maria_o is now known as promo-girl | ||
| Bashing-om | TheSpiochu: I too am not real happy with systemd, nor am I comfortable with systemd. it is different and I have a lot to learn . | 21:28 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: it doesn't work | 21:29 |
| freakyy | I tried booting into rescue mode and then select fsck from the menu but it mounted all hdds | 21:30 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: "it doesn't work" tells us nada .. what is "it" ? .. and did you do, what happened ? what did you expect to happen that did not happen ? | 21:31 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: how do I add a boot argument | 21:32 |
| freakyy | Parameter | 21:33 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: At the grub mneu 'e' key for edit mode -> boot parameters screen . look for the line starting with linux and add fsck.mode=force in place of quiet splash ( is what I suggest ) . ctl+x to continue . | 21:35 |
| freakyy | Ok The Filesystem doesn't seem to have any bad blocks or anything | 21:37 |
| freakyy | Is there anything else what could be the reason | 21:37 |
| freakyy | Its an ssd | 21:37 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: | 21:38 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Ya got me .. I do hope the fact that it is a SSD does not enter in here .. a drive should be a drive, should be a drive . BUT SSDs have error checking built in ! . | 21:41 |
| freakyy | Ok | 21:42 |
| freakyy | So do u have any other idea | 21:42 |
| freakyy | What could be causing the problem | 21:42 |
| freakyy | Else I will have to reinstall | 21:43 |
| freakyy | But I don't have an usb drive yet | 21:43 |
| freakyy | Stick | 21:43 |

| apb1963 | anyone know how to install giplet? 16.04 | 21:48 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Well, we can look at the GUI log file, see if there are any hints pastenin ' .xsession-errors ' . | 21:48 |
| Bashing-om | !info giplet xenial | 21:49 |
| ubottu | Package giplet does not exist in xenial | 21:49 |
| Bashing-om | apb1963: ^ your source for giplet ? | 21:50 |
| apb1963 | ok... so lets change the question to.... how can I display my real IP address on my desktop? | 21:50 |
| ikonia | whatsmyip.com | 21:50 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: oknwait | 21:50 |
| apb1963 | no that requires a browswer | 21:51 |
| deezed | hello guys! do you know anything about ktorrent? I mean, if there is any problem with it? Because all of suden mine has stopped working properly. It doesn't download any faster than 2kbps nor upload anything. Can you help me? | 21:51 |
| apb1963 | I want a widget of some sort | 21:51 |
| ikonia | apb1963: then write an applet that queries it | 21:51 |
| ikonia | its an open api | 21:51 |
| apb1963 | no... I've had something before... but it's no longer working. I can't remember what it's called or even if it was this horrid default interface or KDE. | 21:52 |
| ikonia | how can it be no longer working if you don't even know what it is | 21:52 |
| ikonia | that seems an odd statement to make | 21:52 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: hm I don't have such a file in my home dir | 21:52 |
| Bashing-om | apb1963: ' ip route list ' ? | 21:53 |
| freakyy | Omg Bashing-om I installed the package xserver-xorg-legacy and now it works | 21:54 |
| freakyy | What does that package do | 21:54 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: That blows me away that .xsession-errors file does not exist in your /home . | 21:54 |
| apb1963 | really? you don't understand how the IP address could display on my panel one day, and no longer display and I don't remember what the applet is called? | 21:55 |
| _Sym_ | Does anyone have a problem with nautilus in 16.04 when deleting files with the delete key? Most of the time it works, but sometimes it totally locks up nautilus when I delete files with the delete key on the keyboard. Right clicking on files and deleting from the menu is fine. The problem is only with the physical delete key. | 21:55 |
| ikonia | apb1963: I do understand that it's not working, but you must see how saying "I don't even know what it is" but then state "it's not working" | 21:56 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Wow ! . I have never seen xserver-xorg-legacy . What does the command ' apt show xserver-xorg-legacy ' relate ? | 21:56 |
| apb1963 | Bashing-om, ip route list only displays local private addresses... not my WAN address.. and it's not an applet or widget, etc. | 21:56 |
| ikonia | apb1963: tools like network-manager will manipulate and display your ip, however if you want something different to that, you'll need to be specific in the ap name | 21:56 |
| ikonia | it would be simple to just check it in a browser though | 21:57 |
| apb1963 | ikonia, I didn't say I don't know what it is... although whether it's a widget or a gadget or a doohickey that I don't know...I said I dn't remember what it's called. You can verify this in your history. | 21:57 |
| tigefa | ask: display gnome monitor in desktop? | 21:58 |
| apb1963 | giplet is apparently what is supposed to work for Gnome... whether Gnome and unity have any relationship that I don't know for sure but presume so. | 21:58 |
| ikonia | apb1963: right, so you don't know if it's an applet or a widget and you don't know what it's called, that means you don't know what it is | 21:58 |
| ikonia | apb1963: you have zero info on it other than "I've used it before" | 21:58 |
| apb1963 | yes, that is correct. | 21:59 |
| ikonia | apb1963: so "you don't know what it is" then | 21:59 |
| freakyy | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23467875/ | 21:59 |
| ikonia | apb1963: unity uses a lot of gnome libraries so I'd be surprised if it didn't work on unity, although it's not impossible it won't | 21:59 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: | 21:59 |
| ikonia | (whatever "it" is) | 21:59 |
| apb1963 | Q1: How can I install giplet? A: It doesn't exist in xenial. Q2: How can I display my IP on my desktop? A2: NObody knows. | 22:00 |
| freakyy | it was installed by another driver Bashing-om and ...a fter i removed it ... and then today did apt autoremove ... it was removed again since t hen it didnt work anymore | 22:00 |
| ikonia | apb1963: a.) you'll need to build a package or install routine if one doesn't exist for your version a2.) use a browser, write an applet, curl the whatsmyip, | 22:00 |
| apb1963 | Those were my questions and the answered received so far. | 22:00 |

| gebbione | hi, anyone has an idea of what might have caused this? Xfce notify deamon Unable to start notification deamon -> http://pasteboard.co/qulfWabSU.png | 22:01 |
| apb1963 | thanks... i'll ask again later to see if anyone knows of an applet that works on unity which I guess is what I have. | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Well .. " which is necessary for legacy drivers and non-Linux kernels. | 22:02 |
| ikonia | apb1963: I'd start searching the gnome applet list | 22:02 |
| ikonia | apb1963: they "should" work | 22:02 |
| freakyy | well yes it sounds strange but since i installed it it works | 22:02 |
| apb1963 | where is that found? | 22:02 |
| ikonia | that would be a logical starting point | 22:02 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: seems not a good thing to do to me . | 22:02 |
| ikonia | gebbione: look at that file location, see if it exists and the permissions on it | 22:03 |
| freakyy | hm =/ | 22:03 |
| ikonia | apb1963: official ones will be on gnome.org somewhere probably. | 22:03 |
| freakyy | i guess ill just reinstall the whole system | 22:03 |
| freakyy | soon | 22:03 |
| freakyy | thanks for your help :D | 22:03 |
| apb1963 | ok thank you, much appreciated | 22:03 |
| WWWOOOWWW | guys, i can not copy/paste in remmina !! :( anyone can help me solve this pleassseee ? | 22:04 |
| gebbione | ikonia, the file does not exist | 22:04 |
| ikonia | gebbione: so that will be the problem, | 22:04 |
| gebbione | well that is not the cause ... it is a consequence. I mean why the process would not be able to write the file in the first place | 22:05 |
| gebbione | anyway i ll do another update/restart | 22:05 |
| ikonia | gebbione: no, that is the problem | 22:06 |
| ikonia | the file is not there - that is the problem | 22:06 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: Sometimes a fresh install is a good thing ... and this time keep a changelog of all changes you make to the system . | 22:06 |
| ikonia | gebbione: why the file is not there is a different question, what is the permissions, what does the log say | 22:06 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: will do thank you :D | 22:07 |
| freakyy | ill switch pcs now ... going to my laptop and use ubuntu-gnome there ;D | 22:07 |
| freakyy | i love ubuntu gnome ;D | 22:07 |
| apb1963 | ikonia, there are no applets on that site; I'm going to wait until I can install a better DE. Thanks anyway | 22:07 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: All I have done is hold your hand . You done all the work :) | 22:07 |
| gebbione | ikonia, i dont see any deamon related logs in Xorg.0.log | 22:08 |

| zacktu | My upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 has a problem. apt-get update works completely now, but apt-get upgrade has lots of error messages about tex/latex. Is there a root of all this so I can remove or purge something to do with tex and solve this problem? | 22:09 |
| ikonia | apb1963: it looks like unity should support a fair chunk of them | 22:09 |
| ikonia | apb1963: ahh wait, no it doesn't, only earlier versions that where using more of gnome did, ignore that | 22:10 |
| Bashing-om | zacktu: I expect similar to MySQL 5.7 in the upgrade: see the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes . You may have to re-configure the data base . | 22:14 |
| Seveas | zacktu: tex-commmon and texlive-base | 22:16 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: ^^ ... on my laptop now. sadly it has an ati graphics card which isnt supported by 16.10 anymore :( | 22:17 |
| freakyy | now i have to use the open source graphics driver but it doesnt support fglrx/opengl | 22:18 |

| Rinzler | Hi | 22:21 |
| Rinzler | I need help on configuring /etc/network/interfaces for creating a monitor interface summonable by the gui. Any tip? | 22:21 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: That is a fact in ATI .. they have thrown full support for open source - we have been screamming for years . and AMD has complied !. What you have in the kernel is what you have . Now the latest cards support the XXX-pro driver ( still built on open source ) . | 22:22 |
| maxyspark | I am new to ubuntu. Is there any command line converter to convert m4a to mp3? | 22:22 |
| Sophie_ | Hello, any ubuntu guru ? | 22:22 |
| Seveas | maxyspark: ffmpeg is my goto tool for that | 22:23 |
| === Rinzler is now known as CLUE | ||
| freakyy | XXX-pro driver? i have an ATI Radeon HD 7500M | 22:23 |
| freakyy | its older maybe 3-4 years old | 22:23 |
| === CLUE is now known as Guest75370 | ||
| maxyspark | thanx seveas! :) | 22:24 |
| === Guest75370 is now known as Clu | ||
| Clu | I need help on configuring /etc/network/interfaces for creating a monitor interface summonable by the gui. Any tip? | 22:25 |
| Bashing-om | freakyy: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Amdgpu .. olmy the latest cards have AMDGPU-PRO support . | 22:26 |
| Seveas | Clu: what do you mean with a 'monitor interface' and with 'summonable by the gui'? | 22:27 |
| maxyspark | how can i run a shell script on startup automatically? | 22:29 |
| Seveas | maxyspark: depends on what it does. Either create a systemd unit for it or add it to your desktop startup things. | 22:29 |
| maxyspark | to run a localhost server | 22:30 |
| Seveas | systemd unit it is. That way you can also start/stop/restart it at will and get all the other systemd goodness | 22:31 |
| zykotick9 | maxyspark: you might also want to check /etc/rc.local <- for an "easy" way to run a script at bootup... | 22:32 |
| Clu | Seveas: That I can enable it by network-manager. | 22:33 |
| Seveas | s/"easy"/bad and obsolete, especially for services/ | 22:33 |
| Seveas | Clu: NetworkManager ignores interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:33 |
| zykotick9 | Seveas: i must 1/2 agree with you ;) | 22:34 |

| Clu | Seveas: Then how can I start an interface setted in monitor mode with network manager at every boot? | 22:35 |
| freakyy | sorry! | 22:35 |
| freakyy | i scroleld up and couldnt see i pasted | 22:35 |
| freakyy | Bashing-om: hm, looks like my card isnt supported | 22:35 |
| freakyy | that's a pitty | 22:35 |
| Seveas | Clu: good questions. Can't find a way to do it in the gui | 22:35 |
| Clu | Seveas: There are some settings files in network-manager? | 22:36 |
| Seveas | Clu: /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, but they are not meant to be edited by hand, use nmcli or the gui. | 22:36 |
| Seveas | unfortunately, I don't see a way in either (just checked nmcli) to enforce monitor mode. You could do a pre-up script that does it. | 22:37 |
| TJ- | Clu: Seveas NM can be configured *not* to ignore interfaces from 'interfaces' as well | 22:38 |
| Seveas | I think you need to tell us more | 22:38 |
| TJ- | Clu: Seveas "man 5 NetworkManager.conf" and see the IFUPDOWN section, managed=true | 22:40 |
| Seveas | yeah, just got to there | 22:40 |
| Seveas | interesting | 22:40 |
| Seveas | I'd still avoid doing that though, combining the two just smells like trouble | 22:41 |
| freakyy | good night all ;D also Bashing-om :) | 22:41 |
| exoalexander | my wifi sucks | 22:42 |
| TJ- | Clu: Seveas I seem to recall it is possible - via nmtui-edit - to support monitor mode natively too | 22:42 |
| maxyspark | hei how can I reply to someone here or mention him! | 22:42 |
| exoalexander | anyway how do i report a bug for Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit | 22:43 |
| Seveas | TJ-: not seeing it there, or in nmcli | 22:44 |
| === nee is now known as richard | ||
| === richard is now known as Guest79337 | ||
| TJ- | Seveas: no, i think it's via one of the options described in "man 5 nm-settings", under the 802-11-wireless "mode" setting, although it only describes "infrastructure", "adhoc" and "ap" | 22:49 |
| Seveas | that's an entirely different thing | 22:50 |
| Bashing-om | !tab | maxyspark | 22:51 |
| ubottu | maxyspark: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 22:51 |
| TJ- | Seveas: it's the equivalent of iwconfig's mode option, which includes Monitor mode alongside AdHoc, Managed etc | 22:52 |
| _Sym_ | Anyone here running the latest LTS with a Skylake cpu and intel board? I have to manually set mtrr_gran_size and mtrr_chunk_size on my grub boot line and I can not use the intel_iommu unless I disable the intel_iommu for the built-in intel graphics card. | 22:53 |
| _Sym_ | Its like the mtrr does not see the correct amount of RAM on my laptop | 22:54 |
| maxyspark | ubottu: thanx | 22:54 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 22:54 |
| _Sym_ | I guess Ubuntu does not work very well with the new intel cpus | 22:55 |
| _Sym_ | and im not even using the latest | 22:55 |
| _Sym_ | there are a ton of problems with Skylake | 22:56 |
| bekks | _Sym_: you are the first one ever I'm reading having a problem with a skylake CPU. | 22:56 |
| bekks | And for me, Ubuntu on Skylakes works fine. | 22:56 |
| Bashing-om | _Sym_: Maybe : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2328993 <- 16.04 install the i965-va-driver skylake . | 22:57 |
| _Sym_ | thanks ill look at that | 22:57 |
| TJ- | Clu: Seveas it seems the Ubuntu NM packages don't have the NM_SETTINGS_WIRELESS_MODE_MONITOR - I worked with many months ago in some upstream branch but possibly it's not in the master branch | 22:58 |
| fbonte | hi everyone | 22:58 |
| _Sym_ | Bashing-om, the kernel in the latest LTS (16.04) has severe pipe underruns with Skylake cpu and built-in intel graphics cards | 22:59 |
| _Sym_ | And, it was only fixed in 4.8.7 stable | 22:59 |
| _Sym_ | so, we cant even use the default kernel in the latest lts with skylake | 22:59 |
| _Sym_ | at least skylake in combo with the built-in intel graphics cards | 23:00 |
| evga | _Sym_, how can I know if I'm using a skylake cpu with ubuntu ? | 23:00 |
| _Sym_ | look at system settings -> details | 23:01 |
| evga | it says Haswell | 23:01 |
| sisoje | Hiz: | 23:02 |
| sisoje | hiiiii | 23:02 |
| _Sym_ | Intel® HD Graphics 520 (Skylake GT2) | 23:02 |
| _Sym_ | thats what will not work | 23:02 |
| evga | ok | 23:02 |
| _Sym_ | unless we rebuild the kernel with the latest stable | 23:03 |
| _Sym_ | or even merge in intel-drm-nightly | 23:03 |
| === larry is now known as Guest99901 | ||
| evga | is that possible with LTS ? | 23:03 |
| _Sym_ | sure | 23:03 |
| _Sym_ | i use kernel-pkg | 23:03 |
| evga | I mean getting the latest kernel on LTS ? | 23:03 |
| _Sym_ | yes | 23:03 |
| _Sym_ | just build it | 23:04 |
| _Sym_ | you can build it into a deb file | 23:04 |
| evga | and what happens when apt finds an update ? | 23:05 |
| _Sym_ | it will install it, but the new version of the kernel will still be on the top | 23:07 |
| _Sym_ | the latest version will be the default selection | 23:07 |
| _Sym_ | follow this guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild | 23:08 |
| _Sym_ | and use the last section (Using Ubuntu Kernel Configuration) | 23:09 |
| _Sym_ | use the kernel config from your /boot | 23:09 |
| _Sym_ | with make-kpkg | 23:09 |
| evga | _Sym_, what about the files at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? are they legit ? | 23:11 |
| === sisoje is now known as zolabre | ||
| fooobarrr | I created a 1 TB raid 1 with mdadm from 2, 1TB drives. However I did not format the drives before creating the raid. The two physical drives still show up in gnome-disks, and they show the old partion scheme. The raid seems to be working fine, but I'm wondering if there are any issues with not having previously partiioned these drives, other than the OS thinking they still have some kind of layout | 23:12 |
| _Sym_ | evga, sure they are legit. | 23:13 |
| jatt | evga: they are legit I run 4.8.7 from there | 23:14 |
| fooobarrr | one of the drives in the raid had the boot flag set, I'm wondering if unsetting that flag would mess anything uip | 23:14 |

| katkisson | Hi, guys, I'm a linux newbie. I want to clean install my 80GB desktop to have ubuntu. I would like to do the partitions myself. For 80GB on the hard drive, how much should I set the root partion, the home partition, and the swap to? | 23:26 |
| CoLdFeeLiNgS | join #solus | 23:27 |
| CoLdFeeLiNgS | #join solus | 23:28 |
| kk4ewt | try /join #channelname | 23:28 |
| mcphail | katkisson: why on earth do you want to have /home and / on different partitions? | 23:29 |
| lucas-arg | is there any progression with nvidia optimus technology in ubuntu?? | 23:29 |
| kk4ewt | mcphail, why not | 23:29 |
| mcphail | kk4ewt: for a start, it leads to dilemmas like the above | 23:30 |
| kk4ewt | mcphail, that way i can replace the OS and keep my files in /home | 23:30 |
| evga | lucas-arg, I have an 840m optimus laptop and I'm using the Nvidia drivers to switch between intel and nvidia gpu ... you? | 23:31 |
| mcphail | kk4ewt: you can do that anyway | 23:31 |
| kk4ewt | mcphail, and that is the way it has been done for 20 years | 23:31 |
| mcphail | kk4ewt: by whom? | 23:31 |
| kk4ewt | mcphail, debian, redhat, etc | 23:31 |
| katkisson | because one guy had the same problem with his older 2008 laptop and set it up that way. I was having the same problem where after about a week I get a boot error saying it can't read or write to hdO, So, I did the three different partitions and it works great! But it had 320GB on its hard drive. | 23:32 |
| lucas-arg | evga, 950m but nvidia-prime drives causes my laptop to freeze, lightdm sometimes doesnt even log me in unity and... tearing tearing everywhere with nvidia drivers, 367 and 370 and every single version of them | 23:32 |
| mcphail | kk4ewt: it has never been default in ubuntu, as it is a silly idea | 23:33 |
| katkisson | I have an older desktop with only 80GB, so I was wondering how GB to alot to each partition. | 23:33 |
| lucas-arg | so my solution was to put nouveau.modeset=0 in kernel parameters and just use intels gpu | 23:33 |
| kk4ewt | mcphail, we will agree to disagree | 23:33 |
| evga | lucas-arg, indeed I gave up using the 3D on this laptop with Ubuntu.. just using the intel gpu :( | 23:34 |
| mcphail | katkisson: having /home on a separate partition will not fix a disk which is giving errors. Just leave everything in / and relax, unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise | 23:34 |
| mcphail | katkisson: micromanaging partition sizes is pointless for most people | 23:35 |
| mcphail | katkisson: if you must have a separate / and /home, 10--20GB should be enough for / depending on your needs | 23:36 |
| katkisson | ok sounds good. I don't have any problems with the desktoop, but I have put different linuxes on my laptop trying to fix the above problem. So, maybe that fix will work on that particular laptop. | 23:36 |
| katkisson | desktoop ha destop | 23:36 |
| lucas-arg | evga, sad... but no matter what distro u use u will always have this problem | 23:36 |
| katkisson | hahahaha can't get it right yet | 23:36 |

| Guest14098 | Hello. I upgraded Ubuntu to the newest version from the last; I'm really hoping I didn't frag all my encrypted /home stuff in doing so | 23:43 |
| lucas-arg | Vern_, try this... sudo nano /etc/default/grb and add after quiet nouveau.modeset=0 then ctrl+x Y so you save those changes, then sudo update-grub and reboot | 23:43 |
| lucas-arg | Vern_, press ctrl + alt +F2 or F3 to get into a terminal | 23:44 |
| Vern_ | Ok | 23:44 |
| lucas-arg | Vern_, if the pc or laptop just uses nvidia gpu then install nvidia-367 sudo apt-get install nvidia-367 or if is has optimus technology just live with intel gpu | 23:45 |
| lucas-arg | Vern_, how did that go? | 23:47 |
| cofffeebean | i switched back to v14 of ubuntu.., i didnt see anything special really abt. v16 .. | 23:47 |
| Vern_ | It says its allready newest version | 23:48 |
| Guest14098 | anyone know their ecryptfs? | 23:48 |
| lucas-arg | Vern_, did you edit /etc/default/grub? | 23:49 |
| Guest14098 | gparted indicates that my HDD is still as full as it was before reinstall... but can't find anything | 23:49 |
| Guest14098 | worried | 23:49 |

| _Sym_ | Also, I still dont understand why the latest ubuntu lts has not fixed disabling the laptop trackpads when typing on the keyboard.. | 23:52 |
| _Sym_ | I had to manually patch unity-settings-daemon-15.04.1+16.04.20160701/plugins/mouse/gsd-mouse-manager.c | 23:52 |
| _Sym_ | removing this line: g_ptr_array_add (args, "-t"); | 23:52 |
| cofffeebean | MY DRIVE FILLING-UP was the main problem i had after upgrading to v16 from v14.., i have both w7-pro & ubuntu on the same 250gb drive but after updating v16 of ubunto it left me with 1gb of drive space .. | 23:52 |
| _Sym_ | that "-t" argument breaks unity-settings-daemon | 23:53 |
