If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:02] i am trying to play dwarf fortress. the game itself runs fine. however I am new and need to use dwarf therapist. when I try to launch it from the terminal, I get this error. QGtkStyle cannot be used together with the GTK_Qt engine. does anyone know what I could do?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:06] nds_: In lack of wiser guidance, I would add the restricted and multiverse repos to the sources.list .. adn update/upgrade . See then what is lacking in the install . [00:06] what do you say about my /etc/lsb-release* files: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23519642/ [00:07] Bashing-om for yakkety right?

[00:12] result of "add the restricted and multiverse repos to the sources.list + update/upgrade" http://paste.ubuntu.com/23519662/ [00:14] nds_: Ya have a want to build packages from source ? If not I would disable the deb-src http: .. before we proceed . [00:14] nds_, so you messed apt up with https://launchpad.net/~deity/+archive/ubuntu/apt-1.2 ? [00:15] and mixed yakkety with xenial sources .. [00:17] nds_: OerHeks So correct to pay attention to the 3rd party sources ! . nds_ : pastebin also ' tail -v -n +1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ' . [00:21] and /var/log/dpkg.log [00:22] result from sources.list.d/* http://paste.ubuntu.com/23519705/ [00:23] i need to upload that log [00:26] nds_: 1st hit " /deity/apt-1.2/ubuntu/dists/ " I do not see that it is supported in yakkety . Still look'n . [00:27] nds_: But as none of the 3rd party repos are enabled . we not worry at this time about them . [00:33] thanks for the help, i can use the laptop at work in 6h. can focus on solving the problems later if it is worth it? [00:34] hi folks, I just ran updates on trusty with nvidia and unity no longer comes up (the desktop appears but not the dash). I tried to run unity --reset in a tty and I get a core dump. known problem? [00:34] hello, someone have a recomendation on a good gui for git? [00:35] nds_: K; we work at your pace . [00:36] what's the etiquette for asking questions here? [00:36] draxdeveloper: that seems sort of counterintuitive; do you mean for actually running git commands? or for viewing a git repository? [00:36] !ask | s7rawman [00:36] s7rawman: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [00:37] draxdeveloper: or maybe, a better question: why do you want a gui for git? [00:37] macc: thanks [00:37] nacc, to upload (forgot the name) to the repository. [00:37] nds_: Bit houston, we may have a problem " https://launchpad.net/~deity >> Personal package archives >> APT 1.2 PPA " .. maybe ouch ?? [00:37] draxdeveloper: huh? you mean to push? [00:37] draxdeveloper: why do you need a GUI to push? [00:38] nacc, yeah, lol [00:38] nacc, hum... It's easer use the comand line? [00:39] I'm looking to prevent users from accessing each others home folders by default on account creation. I've done it before but I can remember how I did it and I seem to be using the incorrect google query. Anyone have some pointers [00:39] draxdeveloper: i just don't follow why a GUI is required for pushing, in your case? [00:39] draxdeveloper: or how a GUI helps, really, with pushing [00:39] nacc, i have to control a lot of files [00:39] i am devloping a game [00:40] draxdeveloper: i still don't see the connection with using a GUI for git. [00:40] nacc, it's just faster than use the terminal. [00:40] draxdeveloper: I'll second nacc that the terminal is much better for git, but if you use atom.io to develop, it has plugins for git [00:41] draxdeveloper: in what world is that true? you have not explained your use-case in any way that makes that obvious to me. [00:41] nacc, ok, i will try to use the terminal. I just never used it with git before. [00:42] * nacc doesn't even understand how that's possible :) [00:42] nacc, it's like tortoise svn [00:42] draxdeveloper: qtcreator can look after the git side of things, if you must. Valve use it, so should be adequate for your game dev needs [00:43] i am using godot engine [00:43] draxdeveloper: having to 'control a lot of files' has nothing to do with how you push, IMO, it has to do with how you configure your repository. But unless you meant you want to vcs files all over your filesystem, I don't get what that has to do with pushing, honestly [00:44] nacc, a example. There is a folder where i cannot push all files. [00:44] but anyway, forget it, i will read how to use command line. [00:45] draxdeveloper: anything you can do in the gui, you can do via command line [00:45] draxdeveloper: I'm pretty sure there's a way to exclude files [00:45] draxdeveloper: why can't you push all files? [00:45] draxdeveloper: and that sounds like an excelent use for the .gitignore file [00:45] draxdeveloper: if you mean you don't *want* to, then use .gitignore [00:45] nacc, because they are configurtion files for godot. [00:45] draxdeveloper: if you mean you don't have permission to, then that's somethign else altogether [00:45] nacc, i just don't know nothing about git lol [00:46] draxdeveloper: ok, that's where you should have started, then [00:46] draxdeveloper: i think there is a git channel, fwiw [00:46] nacc, ok, i will search it.

[00:50] hello [00:59] tgm4883: ah so that was it, I can't run 'fakeroot debian/rules clean' or it stomps over my changelog. [01:05] i got it to install stuff, i went with aptitude (dont know why), i installed cpp-6 and aptitude downgraded some packets from something to something (yakkety) [01:05] then i upgraded and it solved many things, i currently have 3 packages not installing [01:07] nds_: ' . [01:07] might* === mkv is now known as m4v [01:10] current packages not installing [01:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23519949/ [01:11] example of --reinstall dependency problem for policykit-1 http://paste.ubuntu.com/23519954/ [01:12] hm, so you have newer versions of the dependancies for policykit than the upgrade depends on [01:12] nds_: apt-cache policy that package [01:17] kostkon ok, gonna read up on what that is [01:17] <_bart> Hi, I'm having issues with the error " This program requires version 3.0.0 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.6.1." [01:18] <_bart> I installed the latest protocol buffer runtime library, but it seems like it is not used [01:18] im gonna yolo this boys [01:18] <_bart> I also noticed the libprotobuf9v5 package is installed, but I cannot remove it, it is required by compiz stuff, and would trigger the removal of ubuntu-desktop. [01:19] _bart: I gather you are trying to build something manually? [01:19] <_bart> Sean_McG: I am trying to run a tensorflow script, that is triggering the requirement error [01:20] my methotology is: try aptitude to install a package, now i chose aptitude install libpolkit-backend-1-0 -v, then i chose not to keep the version, and see what will happen, it seemed pretty harmless in this case because it backed many packagages (again) from something -> something (yyakkety), since it says yakkety i felt safe doing it [01:20] maybe these packets went in when i had 17.04 in my sources for some reason [01:20] _bart: you may have to ensure that the pkgconfig file for newer protobuf is in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env variable before you configure/build it [01:21] at least that is my experience with protobuf [01:22] nds_: your experience with going from xenial->yakkety makes me nervous to go from trusty->xenial [01:22] <_bart> Sean_McG: protobuf compiled and installed fine, I followed these instructions https://github.com/google/protobuf/blob/master/src/README.md, it just seems the 2.6.1 is still used? [01:23] <_bart> Sean_McG: setting --prefix=/usr did not change things [01:23] Sean_McG dont base it on me, but the recommended way failed, then i started throwing commands at the terminal, i have myself to blame but ive learned much [01:23] the initial bug was referenced in a few threads with few posts [01:23] nds_: apt-cache policy package_name to find out where the latest version is coming from [01:24] nds_: and the current one [01:24] _bart: it may be finding the pkgconfig file for the system-installed protobuf before yours -- maybe you can just remove the -dev package for protobuf unless something else needs it? [01:24] can someone tell me why my connection lags connecting to irc, and apt times out at us.archive.ubuntu.com ? [01:25] uberdub: crappy connection? [01:25] no [01:25] I got 1gbps [01:25] add/change DNS servers, use google's for example [01:25] my browser connects just fine [01:26] and I can ping the archive [01:26] i think the same method "aptitude install libpolkit-agent-1" => make it change version on dependency, i see that it has versions higher than yakkety currently and i feel safe downgrading. doing it. [01:26] nds_: And when you do ' apt-cache rdepends policykit-1 ' you get very careful how you proceed . [01:26] irc can lag because of the other end. freenode is no stranger to netsplits [01:26] ...ok [01:27] I highly doubt this is on freenode end [01:27] but if it is constant it may be something else [01:27] it just started happening [01:27] apt takes forever [01:27] <_bart> Sean_McG: I already removed libprotobuf-dev [01:27] try ctcp ping, it doesnt go through irc server right [01:28] <_bart> Sean_McG: I think the 2.6.1 runtime comes from libprotobuf-lite9v5 or libprotobuf9v5, and those I can't remove [01:28] update hangs on: 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::16)] [01:28] _bart: hrmmm... wierd, it shouldn't find anything then and complain that protobuf is not available [01:29] _bart: possibly. [01:29] takes about 15 minutes to update or do anything [01:29] hangs there [01:29] uberdub: oooo, do you have IOv6 connectivity? [01:29] maybe [01:29] its fresh install [01:29] IPv6, even [01:29] <_bart> Sean_McG: this is what locate gives me: https://gist.github.com/bartolsthoorn/10d780575da56f2e31d70b722a2ce803 [01:30] where would I verify, and change these settings? [01:30] i have zero packages kept back now.. do you think when 17.04 was placed into my sources.list maybe it upgraded to higher versions than yakkety on some stuff that just needed downgrading, and aptitude install solved it nicely? [01:30] nds_: Sounds likely . [01:30] in addition i made a new source.list according to some site that generated it [01:31] just because i dont know how they work exactly yet, didnt want to not have access to something important in case it depended on that [01:31] uberdub: hopefully someone else here can chime in on how to temporarily disable your v6 connectivity and use v4 for now [01:31] nds_: are you using any ppas [01:32] yes [01:35] I don't know anything about tensorflow itself, but since your search results don't seem to include any .pc file, I'm wondering if maybe it is trying to use the first libprotobuf it finds [01:35] that was for _bart [01:35] sigh [01:35] always something breaking in linux [01:37] <_bart> Sean_McG: OK, it's all a bit confusing, I am gonna try from scratch in a VM [01:37] anyone here good with network-manager who can give uberdub a hand? [01:38] uberdub: Are you having a network problem? [01:38] doesnt appear to be my lan [01:38] Sounds like his IPv6 is just having issues [01:38] Can't help much there [01:39] apt hangs for a very long time [01:40] hey [01:40] i did sudo apt-get install lm-sensors xsensors fancontrol but now i want to completly purge them, what do i need to type for that? [01:41] I'm not physically located at my Ubuntu machine at the moment, but is it possible to disable only the IPv6 connectivity in the network card config in Unity? [01:41] question about installing HP Laserjet 1536dnf software [01:41] scalper: apt-get purge [01:41] scalper: replace install with purge and hope it doesn't rope in other packages [01:42] it seems to need many dependencies - should I go ahead like adding dbus support or not? [01:42] Sean_McG: does it will delete all linked dependencies too? [01:42] I dont know [01:43] I am always nervous when third party software is wanting to make changes [01:43] Sean_McG: yes [01:43] scalper: potentially, but it will give you a yes/no prompt I believe [01:44] Sean_McG: you can edit your connection in network manager. There is a IPv6 Settings page where you can set Method to Ignore [01:44] is it going to slow my connection? [01:44] uberdub: not noticibly [01:45] Can't be any slower than not connecting [01:45] uberdub: I don't think so, but if it does it is probably easy to revert [01:46] You might also have to disconnect and reconnect. And reverting it would just be puting it back to automatic [01:46] I cant even figure out how to get to nm settings from here [01:47] ubuntulog: ubuntu 16.04? [01:47] .. [01:49] im going to disale, and enable module [01:49] ubuntulog: well anyway, click the network manager icon in your indicator tray (top right of your screen), then click "edit connections", select your connection and click edit, select the ipv6 tab then put method to ignore [01:50] pretty sure its not ppa causing problems [01:50] apt ping them just fine [01:51] it hangs on the archive [01:51] uberdub: did you switch it off, is apt-get update any faster now? [01:51] no [01:51] I modprobed it...no luck [01:51] contacting the archive is super slow [01:51] uberdub: good luck, I'm going to get food [01:52] irc was very slow to connect [01:52] everything else is fine [01:52] oh that is a good point, it is possible that the external ppa site is slow -- I used to get that with openprinting.org [01:52] uberdub: you could try changing the mirror Ubuntu is connecting to [01:52] I did [01:52] same thing [01:52] ok [01:52] main server did same [01:53] ppa's have no problem updating [01:53] its just ubuntu..and seemingly freenode [01:54] do any other applications have slowness connecring? I wonder if this is a DNS issue [01:54] no [01:54] hmmm OK [01:55] seems to resolve ip's just fine everywhere else [01:55] if it were dns issue, wouldnt my browser be screwy? [01:55] Well if you are irc'd directly, comcast in CA is lit up. http://downdetector.com/status/comcast-xfinity/map [01:56] uberdub: probably, yes [01:57] yes [01:57] thats my isp [01:57] direct [01:57] that link is telling me socket error [01:57] ouch...so if that is correct the issue is at your isp, not local [01:58] What client do you guys use for IRC with ubuntu? [01:58] weechat [01:58] irssi over here [01:58] hexchat [01:59] I cant view the link [01:59] would it explain why only some apps are effected? [01:59] uberdub: you could wait for the issue to be dealt with I guess [01:59] ok its open [01:59] You can have broken traffic one way and not another [01:59] true [01:59] udp [02:00] im fairly far from mountain view [02:02] hmmm [02:03] Yeah thats probably why you still have internet at all [02:03] i guess I should stop racking my brain over this until comcast get it together, and go from there [02:03] OK so if you made any changes after our recommendations you might want to reveet them [02:03] reveet, even [02:03] I didnt really [02:03] dammit [02:03] just disabled ppa [02:03] hate software keyboards [02:03] no worries [02:04] thanks for the help fellas === cr is now known as Guest92174 === tk422 is now known as rcogburn === uksio is now known as uks === james is now known as Guest75971 [03:06] Having an issue with the sound on my HP pavilion dm4 laptop running ubuntu (latest version) [03:06] In alsamixer it shows the sound card at full volume, the card is detected [03:06] Its just not playing any sound [03:10] In my system I have 6 4G DIMMs for a total of 24G of RAM; however, only 9GiB is getting allocated.

You're already using more that 9G of memory [03:25] NewGnuGuy: according to your pastebin, you're using around 20G of memory [03:26] sudo dmidecode -t memory --> https://paste.ubuntu.com/23520418/ [03:28] NewGnuGuy: you're already using more than 9GB of memory. If you want to see task manager use more, you need to open larger programs [03:29] tgm4883: Everything is laggy and takes a really long time to respond to input. [03:29] CPU maybe? [03:31] NewGnuGuy: I'm doubting memory is your issue there [03:32] tgm4883: I wouldn't think so. I'm running on dual Xeon 5620.

[06:09] dreki, ask #dovecot [06:09] cfhowlett: okay I will go there. Thanks. [06:09] happy2help [06:09] !dovecot [06:09] IMAP and POP are protocols for fetching email. The officially-supported server in Ubuntu is Dovecot (packages "dovecot-imapd" for IMAP, and "dovecot-pop3d" for POP) - See also !MailServer for information on the SMTP protocol [06:10] yeah its imap server [06:13] cfhowlett: If no one in #dovecot responds, where is the next place you would look for help? [06:14] dreki, there is the #ubuntu-server channel - I think this channel attracts "average" desktop users. Setting up a mailserver is a bit more esoteric. [06:15] thanks again. === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [06:45] guys, any way to dublicate file in midnight commander? [06:51] hhee: esc+5, then set the to: field (new name for the copy) [06:51] hi, can someone help me, im looking for the best linux to run on an old atom n450 powered netbook [06:51] the kind that used to come preinstalled and only really able to run windows xp [06:52] sadpone: try lubuntu [06:52] would a 32 bit version of ubuntu on an SSD work alright? or is there another build [06:52] oh [06:52] ill look that up is it like a light build? [06:52] sadpone: it's probably the lightest one [06:52] how does it differ to ubuntu? [06:53] im not entirely sure what constitutes linux OS sizes [06:53] how can i make my screen to go to sleep faster before i login graphically? [06:53] sadpone: it has the lxde desktop environment which is much lighter than unity [06:54] what does that mean? [06:54] sorry [06:54] i dont know the significance of the desktop environment [06:54] sadpone: what does what mean? [06:55] hello fellow Ubuntu users! n00b here! [06:55] sadpone: the graphical ui is the desktop environment you get after login [06:55] Is it possible to have supervisor restart programs at a certain time of day? say 5am? [06:55] yes, i meant what is its significance, like, is that what makes up a big chunk of the system? [06:56] moreso im just curious about what it means for the system to be "stripped down" [06:57] what things get stripped away, besides preinstalled programs [06:58] I am now trying to build my app using qmake 5.6.1, however, my current installation is 5.5.1. How can I upgrade my qmake version? thanks [06:58] sadpone: yes the dependencies of the desktop environment can go to maybe a 100 or 200 packages [06:59] sadpone: just try installing lubuntu first [06:59] what are dependencies? like system functions or services? [06:59] Edu: what do you mean by "supervisor" ? [06:59] im currently downloading it, its gonna be a while [07:00] @hateball [07:00] sadpone: on ubuntu the package manager handles dependencies between packages [07:00] i installed an app called supervisor === for{} is now known as IWantMoney [07:00] !tab| Edu [07:00] Edu: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [07:00] sadpone: if package a needs package b, it's handled automatically [07:00] hateball: roger [07:00] how can i make my screen to go to sleep faster before i login graphically? [07:01] hateball: from my research it looks like i need a cron instead of this supervisor thing [07:01] Edu: Interesting, I have not used this myself [07:01] but on lubuntu i take it, i would have to do that myself? [07:01] basically i just want to restart a program everyday @ 5am [07:01] Edu: Are these services or GUI apps running in an X session? [07:01] hateball, kinda offtopic, but are you curvy? [07:01] hateball: it is a video game server [07:01] like manually installing system components each time a program i get needs it [07:01] Edu: right, so it runs headless [07:01] sadpone: it's taken care of by the package management [07:02] hateball: yes, but it really needs to be restarted once a day [07:02] Edu: crontab is what you want then [07:02] sadpone: it's called apt and can be controlled by apt-get or apt [07:02] !cron| Edu [07:02] Edu: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [07:03] yes im fermiliar with using apt-get [07:03] Edu: if you are unfamiliar with crontab syntax, https://crontab.guru/ is handy [07:03] i am going to look at it right now [07:03] thats how you install programs or update linux [07:03] thx! [07:06] what would be the difference in boot times for ubuntu and lubuntu? === jh is now known as Guest61757 [07:09] sadpone: boot times is also hardware related, and tweaking [07:09] sadpone: that would probably be the same [07:09] how can i make my screen to go to sleep faster before i login graphically? [07:09] well, i think ill just go with lubuntu and see how it goes [07:10] why crontab and not systemd? [07:10] systemd has its own .timer units [07:10] hateball: so basically i need to have a script that restarts the server itself [07:10] hateball: and then just run that script @ 5am using cron [07:11] Edu: How is the server run today? Do you manually start a binary as some user? [07:12] hateball: i launch a .sh which in turn launches a binary, as a user yes [07:12] hey [07:12] hateball: i could probably just use a script that kills all screens [07:13] hateball: then supervisor should automatically restart it i believe [07:13] Edu: well without knowing what the thing is it's pretty hard to say. Does the .sh have any sanity checks in itself? Like if you run it twice, will it restart the server or do you need to do that manually?

[07:47] carly: And 2GB is fine, the overhead of 64-bit is neglible [07:47] carly: At least when you compare it to not being able to run the software you want, at all [07:47] elias_a: hateball i wont have to reinstall w a usb right??? [07:47] I was wondering how they are made, and what I need [07:47] hateball: yes true true [07:47] carly: Yes you do.

[09:30] oh whoa, you can do that? [09:31] carldanle: i think ufw can do that too on a higher logging setting. [09:33] bhuddah: if i leave ufw enabled and reboot, will it re-enable ufw again?

I've been searching folders manually for anything that sounds familiar, but I think that they are in the root directory because I saved them under my profile, which was admin [10:05] marshall__: url of the paste?

[10:51] why I've got an error on $APP_PATH oO [10:51] sruli: see first link [10:51] hi, I needed some help. [10:51] it's the first arg [10:52] sruli, just making sure none of those black messages were directed at me [10:52] is there any difference between installing Ubuntu 16.04 and then installing LXDE on top of it and installing Lubuntu? [10:52] I have a very old laptop and I'm sure Ubuntu 16.04 won't run on it. [10:53] LinuxNovice, yes. lubuntu has different default apps. if your laptop won't run ubuntu, then download the lubuntu .iso and make a usb. [10:53] marshall__: you are now using ubuntu, right? [10:53] yes [10:53] LinuxNovice: you'd install something like "lubuntu-desktop" if you want the full experience [10:53] what is that lubuntu-desktop? [10:54] I am new to Linux. [10:54] LinuxNovice: lxde plus all the tweaks from Lubuntu [10:54] LinuxNovice, open a terminal. type apt show lubuntu-desktop [10:54] marshall__: do you see a .Private directory in ur current install? "ls -alh ~" === gcollura is now known as randomcpp === randomcpp is now known as gcollura [10:55] do I need to go back to the main partition I'm currently working in? [10:55] what does that do? apt show lubuntu-desktop [10:55] marshall__: that should work from where you are [10:55] LinuxNovice, it shows the packages [10:55] I have installed LXLE now. [10:56] LinuxNovice, lxle is not ubuntu and is not supported here. [10:56] DevAntoine: echo the 2 variables from the cron script as root user, is the output as expected? [10:56] sruli, there's no .Private directory [10:56] Yeah. I know. I wanted to install Ubuntu or its variants. [10:57] just wanted to know if there is any difference. [10:57] marshall__: sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils when done run sudo ecryptfs-recover-private [10:57] sruli, ok, brb [10:58] It means installing LXDE on top of Ubuntu is different than installing Lubuntu? [10:58] LinuxNovice, asked and answered ... YES they are different [10:58] ok. [10:58] DevAntoine: that won't work, the variable in the second line won't be expanded [10:59] hi LinuxNovice [11:00] ducasse: how can I make it work? [11:00] LinuxNovice, you don't need to pm [11:00] ok. [11:00] LinuxNovice, and I belive as I tried to explain before [11:01] yes. [11:01] LinuxNovice, 16.10 or 16.04 is the version and the base [11:01] DevAntoine: by not usign variables on the right-hand side in an assignment [11:01] *using [11:01] yes. I know. 16.04 is a LTS release. [11:01] sruli, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23521632/ [11:01] LinuxNovice, if you started with for example Lubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 16.04, you would have the same version base [11:02] LinuxNovice, it would be the same basically except for the interface being different and things like hat [11:02] SebthreeBQM10HD: ok [11:03] LinuxNovice, that's also why can intalll different interfaces into the same install, since the base install version wil stay the same [11:03] ducasse: but I want the $AGECOM_COMMAND to be passed to the script [11:03] SebthreeBQM10HD: But, I tried Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop it was very slow. my laptop is very old. But, Lubuntu worked fine on this. Why is that? [11:03] LinuxNovice, 16.04 is the version for Ubuntu or any of it' offical dervatives such as lubunu and xubuntu etc [11:03] DevAntoine: then you need several slightly different variables [11:04] LinuxNovice, if you installed from a 16.04 version as in the ISO for one, or downloade another from the repos [11:04] SebthreeBQM10HD: the question is installing LXDE on Ubuntu, will it give the same performance as Lubuntu? [11:04] LinuxNovice, yes that' to be expectd, since you said the lap top is from like 2005 as well ? [11:04] ducasse: ? [11:05] marshall__: take ownership of that directory, "sudo chown -R marshall:marshall /media/marshall/" [11:05] DevAntoine: why '?'? [11:05] SebthreeBQM10HD: I usually download the iso and burn it on the usb drive and install from that. [11:05] LinuxNovice, Unity 7 the interface used by default in Ubuntu, on top of GNOME 3 otherwise, and Unity is used by default instead of the GNOME Shell interface for GNOME 3 [11:06] SebthreeBQM10HD: ok [11:06] DevAntoine: i'll say it again: you can't use variables on the right-hand side in an assignment [11:06] LinuxNovice, both of those interfaces are likely to no work that well if at all raelly, on a old lap top, since being more resource hungry, hardawre resources [11:06] sruli, done. Should I retry the "ecryptfs..." command? [11:06] yes [11:07] LinuxNovice: if you install the lubuntu-desktop package, it will install LXDE and all the lubuntu customisations, giving you a full lubuntu experience. At the login screen, you can pick a Lubuntu session rather than the default Ubuntu/Unity session, and it should be a nippy and agile as a fresh lubuntu install [11:07] LinuxNovice, so yes a older lap top should be much bettter off with LXDE/Lubuntu XFCE/Xubuntu or Mate [11:07] SebthreeBQM10HD: what is I install Ubuntu LTS and then LXDE interface? will it work? [11:07] or maybe maybe Cinnamon [11:07] ducasse: yeah, that one, I got it. But as I said I need to pass the $AGECOM_COMMAND to my .sh and I don't know why. And I don't know either what you mean with "slightly different variables" [11:07] LinuxNovice, yes old lap top don't bother wih Unity if it' o old baialy or GNOME 3 [11:07] LinuxNovice, you said you had lxle installed on that computer, not ubuntu. [11:07] sruli, It gave me the same result: permission denied [11:08] yes. I intend to try Ubuntu or its other flavours. [11:08] DevAntoine: you need to set the full path in $AGECOM_COMMAND [11:08] marshall__: use the chown command but put the full path to the final marshall directory [11:08] LinuxNovice, you could try the GNOME 3 default interface but would work abot as well as uity [11:08] SebthreeBQM10HD: ok [11:09] ducasse: oh [11:09] LinuxNovice, you mentioned beore that that the lap top was quite old, as a resut, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, or Ubuntu Mate [11:09] DevAntoine: exactly. [11:09] sruli, what do you mean the "final" marshall directory? [11:09] ducasse: double quotes won't help right? [11:09] LinuxNovice, would be the best way to go really, and yes you can have all three of thos insalled into the same intall even [11:09] ah, from my current home directory? [11:09] DevAntoine: full path, no variables. [11:09] SebthreeBQM10HD: ok. I liked Unity also. It was different. But, sadly can't use it on my old laptop. [11:09] LinuxNovice, just remember to only download from the offical ubuntu repos this time thugh [11:10] LinuxNovice, not websites, lik you did or mate beore [11:10] marshall__: what is the full path to the direcotry where you have .Private? [11:10] DevAntoine: you can see 'man 5 crontab' for details on this. === viktor is now known as viktor_afk [11:10] SebthreeBQM10HD: Yes. I remember that. I had to reinstall the entire OS, because of that. [11:12] DevAntoine: i'm far from an expert but maybe try http://pastebin.com/tvqXbY1M [11:12] sruli, /media/marshall/eaafd382-a690-42c5-a7f8-c75e90ea4974 [11:13] so that's the path to use? [11:13] marshall__: take ownership of that directory, "sudo chown -R marshall:marshall /media/marshall/eaafd382-a690-42c5-a7f8-c75e90ea4974/home/marshall/" [11:13] done [11:14] marshall__: sudo apt-get install ecryptfs-utils when done run sudo ecryptfs-recover-private [11:14] marshall__: suorry skip install part run sudo ecryptfs-recover-private [11:15] sruli, I got the same result.

[11:50] adrian_1908: they will likely give you the same links :) [11:51] sruli, so it's changing ownership of those files so they belong to my user profile on the main partition now? [11:51] marshall__: it mounted the encrypted directory to /tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/ thats where you'll find ur files, but as soon as u reboot ur dismount it wont be there anymore so copy all the files u need out of there .. else u'll need to go though this each time u want to access them [11:52] hehe, maybe. I already looked at the "serverguide", but it seems rather minimal. I'm sure there are plenty pitfalls for a newcomer that these short articles don't cover. [11:52] thanks for the heads up, lol! I'll definitely do that :) [11:52] marshall__: becuse the command needed sudo to execute the result it that the files are now owned by root so u need to change onwership before u can copy [11:52] !u | sruli [11:52] sruli: Shortened English is difficult for some non-native English speakers to read. Please use full words instead. Thanks! [11:52] marshall__: u see the files ok? [11:53] I don't see them in the gui [11:54] marshall__: you went to that dir in gui? [11:55] I looked at it, but there's nothing there [11:55] let me try the term [11:56] ok, I see them in the terminal. [11:56] how can I copy them? [11:56] hello, All! when i try to install ubuntu 16.0.4 to usb flash drive then i have error that file system is read only. how i can solve it? =/ [11:59] sruli, how can I copy all of these files to a directory I can easily access using the GUI? [12:00] marshall__: try "cp -R -v /tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/* /path/to/destination/" [12:01] do I include the asterisk? [12:01] yes, the asterisk says select all inside there [12:02] ok, and I can copy them to any other directory I can access? [12:02] even /home? [12:02] yes, /path/to/destiantion/ is what u need to change to the actuall directory you want to copy it to [12:03] hello guys [12:03] i want to build a system specialy for hacking [12:03] someone help me? [12:04] sruli, does this look fine? marshall@marshall-MS-7641:/tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/.ecryptfs/marshall/.Private$ cp -R -v /tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/*/home [12:04] kdfjkasd, nope [12:04] kdfjkasd, google "pen testing" for guidance. [12:06] anyone wanna chat with a bi male 29 pm me [12:06] sruli? [12:06] dodge29, wronge channel. be gone. [12:07] marshall__: space after asterisk, i would suggest to create a directory for it first do "mkdir /home/marshall/myoldfiles" then "cp -R -v /tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/* /home/myoldfiles/" [12:07] can i add a user to the system without it being possible to authenticate as that user using a password? [12:08] ghostal, sounds like you are attempting "kiosk mode" [12:09] cfhowlett: i don't think so. i want to create a user and user home dir to run a server in, but i don't want people to be able to log in as that user [12:09] i only want to allow root to do "su the_user" [12:09] ghostal, the #ubuntu-server channel would know more [12:09] ah, okay, thanks [12:11] ghostal: on visudo remove user from list [12:12] ghostal: or remove user from sudo group, new users are not added by default [12:12] I did that, sruli , but I don't see the files in the folder when I use the gui [12:12] marshall__: what do u see after running the cp command? [12:14] sruli, looks like it tried copying every file, but each one has "cp: cannot open" nect to it [12:14] next* [12:14] then it says "for reading: Input/output error" [12:15] ghostal: you can lock the account === me is now known as Guest63757 [12:15] ghostal: see 'man usermod' [12:15] marshall__: did u execute the "sudo chown -R marshall:marshall /tmp/ecryptfs.vOViixOy/" ? [12:15] sruli: thanks, I'll try that!

[12:31] marshall__: something is wrong here.. lets start again doing somethings differently, firstly lets remove the other user accounts from that dir, start by pasting output of "ls -lah /media/marshall/eaafd382-a690-42c5-a7f8-c75e90ea4974/home/" [12:32] sruli, I'm grateful fro the help. I'm going to have to call it a night. When will you be on again? [12:32] for* [12:34] marshall__: not sure, i am thinking the other user accounts in that partition are cuasing a conflict, try moving them elsewhere leaving only the marshall and .ecryptfs there and try the recover again [12:35] ok, after installing via Install instead Try and then Install everything ok === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [12:36] I will, but I need to sleep. It's a big day. I'll leave the computer locked so I can pick up where we're leaving off.

[12:43] how can I fix the error [12:43] argh [12:45] how can I fix the error attempt to read or write outside of disk hd0? [12:46] Kartagis, that is a sign of a failing disk. the "fix" is to 1. backup your data and 2. replace the HDD [12:47] cfhowlett: that is under virtualbox [12:49] cfhowlett: such insight [12:49] NixkorN, feel free to contribute [12:49] to your idiocity? [12:49] My ubuntu 16.04 has problems with wifi at home. At work it's perfectly fine. At home on win7 partition and other computers it's fine. Only home + ubuntu causes problems with sporadic dropouts. I think maybe neighbour's router uses same channel? [12:50] NixkorN, review the channel guidelines and leave off the insults. if you can help, help. if not ... [12:50] !guidelines | NixkorN [12:50] NixkorN: The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [12:50] !guidelines | NixkorN [12:50] insults?

As you have been added to my /ignore, you are invisible to me. now you can help the OP unimpeded. [12:52] Kartagis, still trying to figure out how you got an i/o error on a vbox. [12:52] cfhowlett: IIRC you use a dell m3800 no? How's wifi for you? Are you on 16.04 nowadays? [12:52] multifractal, yes indeed. no wifi issues at all on 16.04 [12:52] is ubuntu using jstreamer? [12:55] If I have custom compiled kernel and I want to upgrade it with same parametres. Do I have to recompile a newer verson manually or is there some other way? === scam is now known as sicsscam [12:56] noobie_, you need to compile a new version [12:56] so you can use the same .config file [12:56] ikevin: ok, thank you === meta__ is now known as _250k [13:08] cfhowlett: I was able to boot the vm with a live iso, then do a fsck and I got clean results [13:09] Kartagis, this one is too deep for me. #vbox might know better [13:10] hello, any idea why i get continously hash mismatch errors during apt-get? [13:12] any way i can enable three fingers swipe workspace gesture on my lenovo ideapad? [13:20] :) [13:20] jackhumm: i doubt it, swipes etc do not register as button events, so they can't be mapped to wm operations afaik [13:20] google says using some xswipe touchegg and things [13:20] anyone confirm , or tried it? [13:21] jackhumm: possible, they might be able to send commands with wmctrl or similar. [13:21] okay, [13:22] so guys, if I wanted a clean (no DE) ubuntu installation on a laptop without an ethernet port.. my only option is ubuntu server? [13:22] ducasse: also , does ubuntu lacks a good git gui client ? why github has client for windows and mac but not ubuntu [13:23] jackhumm, you should propably tell, the exact model for your laptop and which version of ubuntu you do use [13:23] jackhumm: gitkraken might be what you are looking for? [13:23] ubuntu 16.04 , Lenovo Ideapad 510 [13:23] Kingsy: you can also use the lubuntu alternate image [13:24] Kingsy: anything for commercial use ? [13:24] ducasse: oh? I don't know much about the dists.. wouldnt it be "lubuntu" in that case? [13:24] Kingsy, or install with unity, gnome, kde, etc, remove that, or most of it, guess that would work. maybe put something on such as openbox even which hardly is much of an interface, from what I have seen [13:24] why github have client for linux , what are they waiting for, they dont like linux at all ? lol [13:24] SebthreeBQM10HD: that is exatly what I am trying to do [13:24] Go for openbox [13:25] Kingsy: it doesn't require you to install the lubuntu packages, only the normal lubuntu image does that [13:25] but it seems like a shame to start with something like gnome when I dont want it [13:25] oh ok! [13:25] !mini | Kingsy, [13:25] Kingsy,: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:25] Kingsy, ok but openbox is still a window manager, but yes not a full de, but yes some kind of interface, not just the terminal like I belive Ubuntu server [13:25] cfhowlett: it requires an ethernet port... which I do not have [13:26] SebthreeBQM10HD: yes, so I was going to just install ubuntu minimal then install openbox myself.. along with a login manager. [13:26] Kingsy: you can install it as minimal without any additional packages, you dont need ethernet port for that [13:26] sruli: really?? [13:27] I thought it required an active connection to work at all? [13:27] Kingsy: yes, you dont need ethernet to install or use any ubuntu dist [13:27] because that would be ideal [13:27] seen much unicorns latelly? [13:27] sruli: even https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD <-- [13:28] Kingsy, yes openbox you would have to put on by default, as for a dm, woul have one alrady by default depending on what you instaled from, with a noral ISO would have one such as light dm [13:28] Kingsy, you would have to put openbox on yourself, that was meant to say [13:28] Kingsy: yes, you will only have a very minimal install but does not require connection to install or run [13:28] SebthreeBQM10HD: well if I can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD <-- then it wouldntb have ANYTHING.. which would be ideal really. [13:29] well that'll be awesome! [13:35] sruli: doesnt work [13:35] Kingsy, mini is a net-install (download pkgs fron internet) , so it requires an active (cabled) connection, may i suggest you server or a usb-eth adapter ? [13:35] sruli: I am on the installer now... it does not let you proceed without an active internet connection [13:36] Kingsy: i have installed many times, will try now on a vm .. few min [13:36] ioria: I have a USB ethernet adapter but unfortunately it does not seem to pick that up [13:39] hello! I have a headless server connected to some speakers. music is stored locally. I'd like to control it remotely but play sound through its speakers (no streaming). what should I look at? [13:40] Hey [13:40] Just installed Ubunto for the first time [13:40] congrats :) [13:41] sruli: you cant have installed minimal without ethernet [13:41] koichirose, maybe a wireless KB [13:41] Any tips or recommendations?

[13:42] Kingsy: minimal has no packages in the iso [13:42] Kingsy: http://askubuntu.com/questions/44185/is-using-ubuntu-minimal-any-different-from-server :P first hit on google [13:43] Kingsy, the adapter should work ( i guess) have you tried a manual network configutation ? (restart the router may help) [13:44] BluesKaj: :D I was thinking about some android app. is mpd an option? [13:45] /join #techrights [13:46] koichirose, dunno, if you're thinking of using your phone then I'm not much help .. I have a smart phone , but it's mostly just for calls and photos [13:47] BluesKaj: in general though, some web interface would be fine. I'm not sure which tool is needed to make it output to local speakers instead of streaming [13:49] koichirose, i just use an outboard drive with media, but no OS on it connected to my HTPC via sata [13:49] htghth [13:49] 的不会 [13:50] !cn | ssg__ [13:50] ssg__: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [13:50] !cn | ssg__ [13:53] oh so its the same. === messer440 is now known as Guest21186 [13:54] does anyone know if the ubuntu server installer allows you to encrypt the partition? [13:55] I believe it doe [13:55] does [13:55] Kingsy: you have to create the encryption manually at the start [13:55] Kingsy, mini does, so .... [13:56] oh mini does? [13:57] Kingsy, yep... try again with the adapter and do a manual nt configuration [13:58] ok [13:58] Kingsy, mini looks for your nt config, if it fails, gives you the option to set a static interface [13:59] hello [13:59] Hi there merlin__ [13:59] Hey [14:00] im linux nooby i wannt to install the 3d cude [14:00] try taking a look over the Compiz plugins [14:01] https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/compizconfig-settings-manager [14:01] Hi, anyone knows how to get an output of e.g. glxinfo if I ssh to a server?

This morning a bug I'd opened was closed with "Confirmed Fix Released" and "Confirmed Fix Committed" but there's no reference to a patch or commit. Is this typical? [14:19] Oh, never mind. I misread. Not closed yet. But there's no pointer to the fix, which makes me curious. [14:19] mason: is it set as a duplciate? [14:20] okay totally stuck here and super frustrated... i need some networking help [14:20] my network diagram: https://drive.google.com/drive/recent [14:20] Pici: No, it's been open for a while, but I thought it was dead at this point.

When i typed xinput, the touchscreen was listed as ELAN. Now with this installation it does not show up in the list at all [14:32] Hi [14:33] MATE 16.04.9.1 [14:34] facing error in writing usb [14:34] any1 [14:36] Hello [14:38] hi all. Im trying to make an image of an SD card with dd "sudo dd if=/dev/sdb of=/path/to/file bs=1M conv=noerror".. It's working but including the ENTIRE disk, im sure that command used to image it minus unused space, I have to image the disk rather than a partition because there are more than one partitions, but theres gigs of unallocated space it's imaging as well. Can I make it image just the partitioned space on the drive and ignore [14:38] unallocated space? [14:38] hey [14:39] anyone online? [14:40] yavuzhan, just ask your question [14:40] using backbox? === for{} is now known as ratpoison [14:41] DrunkenDwarf: dd copies everything, but you can pipe its output through gzip (or similar) to compress the gaps [14:41] yavuzhan, this is ubuntu support not backbox [14:45] i have this weird problem where my wireless keeps dropping on Ubuntu, the same isn't happening on windows [14:45] i have Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30) as device [14:45] Hello, I have very slow wifi free internet and I need to get a copy of ubutnu os, where can I get a free copy of an ubuntu os cd? [14:45] Is that possible? [14:46] stoned: No. Canonical has stopped shipping free cd-disks. [14:47] free cds usually come with bundled malware [14:51] stoned: not free, but you can buy a Canonical USB stick for a reasonable price - https://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=1206 [14:51] mcphail, could have sworn i used it before to copy only the used portions of a drive. bugger. is there a way to image the used portion of a drive. the problem is im copying the image of an sd card to another one that's not big enough. (rated to be the same size, but in practice a different sector count.) [14:52] DrunkenDwarf: I'm really not sure dd can do that. But, by piping it through gzip, you compress it "on the fly" [14:53] I have 3 USB sticks already [14:53] My own, I mean. [14:53] I'll try to figure out a way to download it [14:53] mcphail, i get that, but that doesn't help writing the image to another disk uncompressed which isn't quite big enough [14:53] I'll have to download in small chunks. [14:54] stoned: will it be a efi install? [14:54] DrunkenDwarf: yes, but you can't magically make a filesystem smaller. What you are wanting to do is copy files, not produce a disk image [14:54] No, BIOS [14:55] The best option for me would be something small like how Debian has Netinstall CD (minimal base system) [14:55] Then I can grab Xorg, and Xmonad and whatever tiny things I need. [14:55] stoned: ubuntu has a minimal image [14:55] How many Mbs? [14:55] 200-300? [14:55] mcphail, i dont understand why you cant magically make a filesystem smaller when half of it is unallocated, unpartitioned, unused space...... the reason I want an image is cause it's a bootable partition structure, not just a collection of files [14:56] stoned: my 14.04 minimal is 38mb, but u need a internet connection to install.. u can choose to install without adding any packages [14:56] What can I use as a download manager to make sure if my connection drops, I can resume the download? [14:56] Oh, the netboot image? [14:56] Hi. I have two identical laptops with Ubuntu 16.04 recently installed on each. XFCE has been installed and Gnome removed, using the same apt commands. On one machine, NetworkManager cannot connect to wifi APs. When I click on an AP, the connecting icon spins and then after about 20 seconds it says "Disconnected - you are now offline". There was no password prompt even though the AP is secured. Windows 10 on the same lapt [14:56] op connects normally. The other laptop connects normally in Ubuntu. Please help? [14:57] stoned: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:57] http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ [14:57] stoned: use wget -c [14:57] Hmm. [14:58] Actually, problem is this: I connect to Xfinity Open Wifi (free) and I have no Internet connection, and this is stored in myPC already, but if I try to install w/ a new OS installer CD, I'll have to somehow authenticate to Comcast Xfinity before I have internet. [14:58] So I'm kinda screwed there [14:59] so I need a installer cd w/ wifi drivers, where I can authenticate to comscast account so I can have internet. [14:59] otherwise I need an offline cd (whicn in case I'd require a full installation w/ browser and all, for authentication) [15:02] stoned, do you have a cdrom or usb to which you can burn or dd the iso if you download it from the ubuntu site? [15:02] Can't seem to DL. The connection is too bad [15:03] Most of the time my OS gets hanged at trying to apt-get something [15:04] Then I have to cancel it, start again, maybe then the packets go through and it contacts the server, then hangs somewhere in the middle again. [15:04] I have probably only enough bandwidth to browse web and use irc, youtube is slow too [15:04] I dobut that'd work but you could try to change the source of your updates' [15:04] *? [15:04] stoned, the ubuntu/ubiquity installer will ask for pwd authentication to connect to wifi if needed during the install procedure [15:04] It's already using the closest mirror to my physical location [15:05] BluesKaj: not wifi password. [15:05] if needed stoned [15:05] BluesKaj: it's open wifi, not protected, but you have to authenticate on a website [15:05] It's not wifi authentication, it's ISP authentication POST open wifi connection [15:06] So when you connect to open wifi xfinity, then you open a browser and it takes you to their site, where you auth, and then you are granted internet [15:06] I think they record your mac # and then that's how you get internet [15:06] that's convoluted [15:06] so maybe I don' tneed to auth? I dunno. [15:06] yeah, it's a pita. [15:12] hi === scottt is now known as Guest48561 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:18] BluesKaj: could he use installer in "try" mode to auth with a browser before running installer? [15:23] Good atternoon Pals [15:23] guys, how can i install latest php in ubuntu server? by default there is 7.0.8 [15:24] hhee: I'd stick with what it offers; the version Ubuntu comes with is supported and maintained with securoity-patches and bugfixes. I wouldn't recommend trying to install higher versions manually that are out of Ubuntu's control. [15:24] I am running an app localhost, how can i access it from another client on the same network. [15:26] FinalX, got it. something like backports? one more question, how can i view what new in packages use apt? like changelog or smth else? [15:26] !latest | hhee [15:26] hhee: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. === xorticagreen is now known as xorticagreen_afk [15:28] hhee: probably easiest way is to look for the package on http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and go to Ubuntu Changelog at the package's page [15:29] hhee: also, I wouldn't worry about minor 7.0.x version upgrades. And there's not really any distro offering 7.1 yet, to my knowledge. [15:30] oh, I thought 7.1 was out already, but it isn't. release candidate only. well then... really nothing to be worrying about them :) [15:30] s/them/then/ [15:34] stoned, yes === BioKee is now known as Guest44821 [15:37] hello I am hoping someone can help: Installed 16.04 on a yoga 13 laptop. Touchscreen is not being recognized. Previous installs on this computer recognized it and it worked beautifully. When i typed xinput, the touchscreen was listed as ELAN. Now with this installation it does not show up in the list at all [15:39] please how do i login my ubuntu using a domain i am tired of remember long ips. I have the domain already what do i need to set to do user@server.domain.com [15:40] jon5000: did you install ubuntu with cable plugged + updates enabled during setup? [15:41] is there an easy way to view where a command like teamspeak is located [15:41] kingplusplus: if you don't control your dns, you can add the ip/hostname combo to your client machine's /etc/hosts [15:41] akik is that all? [15:42] angrycoast, "type teamspeak" [15:42] kingplusplus: yes, after that you can use the hostname in the ssh client [15:45] angrycoast, please keep your questions in the channel [15:46] angrycoast, if what you want is to "erase" teamspeak, then what you need to do is dpkg -S [filename], so in this case dpkg -S /etc/init.d/teamspeak, and uninstall the package with apt remove [15:48] angrycoast, what do you mean "start over" - how did you set it up in the first place? [15:50] Random832, I just need to generate another privledge key to gain admin access and thought the easiest way would be to delete and reinstall [15:50] another what? [15:50] how did you install it in the first place? you are not providing enough information to understand what your situation is [15:51] Unfortunately I didn't document it but I did create another user to start the server [15:52] ...do you *remember* what you did? === SRvSaha is now known as Guest76852 [15:54] Random832, https://terminal28.com/how-to-install-and-configure-teamspeak3-server-linux-debian-ubuntu/ [15:54] it was similar to that [15:55] cd.. [15:56] the other question is what's not working that you think will be fixed by removing and reinstalling it - what's all this "generate another privilege key" stuff mean etc [15:57] I get update dialog every morning, wanting to install updates. And everytime I get another dialog telling me it'll require installing non-authenticated updates. What do I do to get it to actually install the updates and get rid of the non-authenticated updates problem? [15:57] in the application, upon installation, a token is generated that will provide admin access to a user that logs in to the server and supplies that token. they call that a privilege key. [15:59] angrycoast: there's probably a way to generate a new priv key but you'd have to figure out where it's installed first. maybe it's in a homedir of a special created user? [15:59] FinalX, got it, thx a lot for answer! [15:59] np :) [16:04] hello [16:05] i have terminus font in urxvt ? So what should i write in the config file to get size 25?

[16:26] Does anyone know how I can manually configure my network connection on the ubuntu mini installer? [16:26] lotuspsychje: I understand it won't be the latest, but even at the version that it is, the calendar is fairly modified that I can't use some of the perks of the online accounts it has. [16:26] i have an intel graphic and an nvidia [16:27] I can see it detects the device in dmesg [16:27] Heisenbug: optimus? did you try a nomodeset or nvidia-prime with latest graphics drivers? [16:28] Also, the snap would be helpful too if it has online accounts integrated, but it was removed from the snap repo (or whatever it's called today). [16:28] optimus what [16:28] ? [16:28] ok so ive got this idea, it involves 2 computers "computer a", "computer b". i want to be able to open a window on computer a and drag it to computer b. is that somehow possible? both computers running the same os, on the same network. [16:29] Heisenbug: is your card optimus enabled, as in hybrid graphics intel/nvidia? [16:29] Heisenbug, is this alaptop or have you added anew graphics card to your pc?

[16:39] Heisenbug: after you got the card working, you can set to low mode with nvidia-settings === lethu_ is now known as lethu [16:39] Heisenbug: wich means it will use your intel graphics, performance mode will enable the nvidia one [16:40] but if i cant boot how can i install the required packages?

So I thought about installing the tools I need to develop in $HOME/.local [17:33] pip makes that relatively easy [17:33] Is there any way I can carry my $HOME on a thumb drive? [17:33] i just want to run the aurduino app on my laptop and im happy [17:34] I mean, I can always just set the $HOME variable to the thumb drive and be done with it, right? [17:34] i cant spell btw [17:34] pip makes things bad [17:34] have stuff like git and pip in that place, no? [17:34] powerline? [17:34] pip is totally different to git [17:35] and so is vim [17:35] but I need these tools [17:35] brunch875: virtualenv [17:35] but pip does damage, vim doesn't [17:35] doesn't pip just shove stuff into $HOME/.local ?

[17:37] sruli: best suggestion i have apart from apparmor [17:38] lotuspsychje: will try that, thanks [17:38] ikonia: are you suggesting that using pip in a virtualenv messes with the system python or installs unsupported packages outside of the virtualenv? [17:38] if so, i'd be very interested in seeing any evidence of this.

[18:24] Wulf: not that I'm aware of [18:26] exit [18:26] exit [18:26] sorry [18:36] I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. After upgrading I used Synaptic to add deb lines that had been in the old system manually. Now I get lots of error messages about keys and insecure sources when I refresh the repositories. What do do? [18:37] join hello [18:37] Hi [18:39] hi [18:42] slow day here - bye [18:43] where replaces ia32-libs? [18:44] *what === Mathis|2 is now known as Mathis [18:44] !find ia32 [18:44] Found: grub-efi-ia32, grub-efi-ia32-bin, grub-efi-ia32-dbg, lsb-core, lsb-printing, lsb-security, primus-libs-ia32, W:, W:, W: (and 22 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=ia32&searchon=names&suite=yakkety§ion=all === JeremyD is now known as SleePy [18:51] Hi all. In which config file do I write LC_ALL=...? [18:51] so that every new console sessoin would inherit === j_ is now known as lifted [18:52] OnkelTem: not 100% sure but try /etc/default/locale [18:52] OnkelTem: it doesn't contain LC_ALL by default [18:52] there I have only LANG="en_US.UTF-8" [18:53] OnkelTem: you should have many LC_ settings there [18:53] My problem is very frequent: http://apaste.info/xc02Q [18:54] OnkelTem: http://pastebin.com/raw/KsKrKx80 [18:54] and I have regenerated localtes, and everything seems to be in place [18:55] You don't write LC_ALL anywhere, do you? Isn't it used on an ad-hoc basis to replace the defaults? [18:56] LC_PAPER=en_RU.UTF-8 - what the hell is this? I'm having it [18:56] en_RU? [18:56] I'm sure that was not me configuring it in this weird way [18:56] problably some app? [18:58] mcphail: I don't get. Every time it goes in such a wrong way I'm triggering :) [18:58] because I do follow stackoverflow advices [18:58] and that didn't work [18:58] haha [19:05] There are too many places to try out [19:06] /etc/default/locale; /etc/environment; /etc/profile; /home//.bash_profile; /home//.bashrc [19:07] So which one is correct? And should I set LC_ALL or just LANG? [19:08] I have a feeling that it's KDE who is breakibng eveyrhing [19:09] ikonia: range-request is disabled in apache 2.2.22 (ubuntu 12) [19:09] it works out of box in 2.4.7, which 14.04 [19:10] OnkelTem: LC_ALL sets all those variables at once [19:10] why it was disabled - that is second question. [19:10] OnkelTem: /etc/default/locale is the place for system wide configuration [19:11] akik: then mine is ok, and actually I haven't touched any of the config files [19:11] so I suspect KDE [19:11] now === tk422 is now known as rcogburn [19:13] OnkelTem: but your file was missing those configuration entries (LC_*) [19:13] akik: should I restart to get it probably working? [19:13] OnkelTem: no there's no automatic process to modify that file [19:14] OnkelTem: the only one i know is dpkg-reconfigure locales [19:14] OnkelTem: or localegen === rcogburn is now known as disneylandLover [19:14] akik: http://apaste.info/xc02Q - my concerns are now about those en_RU. I think that's the problem [19:14] and I can't find a place in my configs where it's set like that [19:15] OnkelTem: try "strace -e open locale" [19:15] OnkelTem: that'll show you all the files locale opens [19:16] http://apaste.info/qnZDA [19:16] so it really can't find en_RU/* stuff, because it's a nonsense [19:17] and I did regenerate locales several times and it goes just fine [19:17] OnkelTem: what is that "default locale" ? have you set it somewher ? [19:18] akik: I'd guess it means an EMPTY value. I have no LC_ALL or LC_TYPE set anywhere === DerRaiden is now known as DerRaiden|lunch [19:18] OnkelTem: what is the locale you want to use ? [19:18] just 'en_US.UTF-8' [19:19] OnkelTem: ok try these two commands sudo locale-gen "en_US.UTF-8" and sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales [19:19] starting with sudo both of them [19:21] akik: http://apaste.info/gyELg - at the end I run locale command again [19:22] Hi all, trying to find some suggestions, anyone know how to disable internal routing? I have 4 interfaces (3usb ethernet and a wlan) tried to delete all the routes, disabled ip fowarding, but still if I try to ping with -S ip or -I interface from the wlan I got a response from the usb eth interface. there is anything else that can route between the interfaces? [19:23] OnkelTem: do you have this problem in your local machine or on some server ? [19:23] akik: local [19:24] OnkelTem: how does your /etc/environment look like ? === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [19:26] OnkelTem: never mind, i only have the PATH in there [19:26] akik: same, path only [19:27] I even ran xterm suspecting even konsole :) [19:27] OnkelTem: what if you set these two manually first: export LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANGUAGE=en_US [19:28] I love programming. There you can always set a breakpoint on a resource usage or variable modification :) Not the case with system configuration... [19:28] OnkelTem: and then run those two previous commands [19:30] OnkelTem: it's a problem with the configuration files that you can set things in many places [19:30] akik: http://apaste.info/nINen [19:31] OnkelTem: sorry, out of ideas [19:31] python 3 is default in ubuntu? [19:31] akik: np, thanks anyway for the attempt :) [19:33] akik: maybe it's a hint. I haven't reinstalled the system for many years :) [19:34] OnkelTem: which ubuntu version ? [19:34] 14.04 [19:34] OnkelTem: i have the same [19:35] # [19:35] OnkelTem: try setting the /etc/default/locale as i pasted earlier [19:35] OnkelTem: http://pastebin.com/raw/KsKrKx80 [19:36] akik: yeah, I've saved the link, trying... I guess I'll need to restart [19:36] OnkelTem: i'm pretty sure those entries are there after the default installation [19:36] akik: was you installing 14 from scratch or on top? [19:36] were* [19:37] how to switch to Intel from Nvidia on Dell 7559, using 16.10? [19:37] OnkelTem: i always install from scratch [19:37] good approach :) [19:38] OnkelTem: dpkg-reconfigure locales does not set the locale system-wide? [19:38] Hi ppl, I am using ubuntu 14.04, how do I encrypt my data [19:38] present in the harddisk [19:38] ducasse: it generates the /etc/locales but does not set the default locale in /etc/default/locale [19:38] ducasse: no, at least not before restart. And that final measure I haven't tried yet [19:39] the last resort... the sign of weakness [19:39] programo: entire disk or just /home? [19:39] I see on the net to use encfs [19:39] Entire disk [19:40] * OnkelTem 's uptime is 18 days. 18 days without Witcher 3 [19:40] /etc/default/locale is used by /etc/pam.d/login, /etc/pam.d/sshd, /etc/pam.d/su, /etc/init/mountall.conf, /etc/init.d/keyboard-setup, /etc/init.d/console-setup, /etc/init.d/mountall.sh and /etc/init.d/cron [19:40] programo: in that case, reinstall and select it as an option in the installer [19:40] it is meant for the system and not the user. [19:40] OnkelTem / ducasse ^ [19:40] I am using a dual boot of Windows and Ubuntu,So I encryt all my data , will I be able to access the data from both the operating system? [19:40] so yes, rebooting would be useful, considering it's picked up by init and co. [19:40] FinalX: the settings from /etc/default/locale affect the user's session [19:40] akik: yes, through PAM. [19:41] so logging out of your session and logging back in, should also work. [19:41] but for the rest of the init stuff, you'd have to re-init [19:41] @ducasse how about using encfs [19:41] FinalX: thanks! I see [19:41] or at the very least restart those services [19:41] can I encrpyt my whole disk without resinstalling [19:41] programo: don't know if there are windows tools that can read it, ask in ##windows. encfs is not for full disk encryption. [19:42] programo: not easily, no. [19:42] See you after restart === Piper-Off is now known as Monthrect [19:43] perhaps shrink your filesystem, repartition, luks the other partition, move data over, resize again.. yeah, maybe not so very possible [19:43] too cumbersome ;) [19:44] hey all [19:44] FinalX: judging by the questions he asked, not without handholding :) [19:44] yeah... :) [19:45] to be fair, i'd not even start on it myself. === nils__ is now known as nils_ [19:45] me neither. [19:46] Folks, I've restarted, and it didn't help. But I just checked tty2 and there it works. So I get the problems only in X [19:48] OnkelTem: what if you create a new user account in your machine [19:49] OnkelTem: then see if the locale settings are defined correctly in the new account [19:49] found one interesting issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/501181/how-to-change-fix-systems-locale-when-you-setup-in-a-language-not-official-in-y [19:50] Damn I've found where it's set! It is: ~/.kde/env/setlocale.sh [19:50] And there set all that mess [19:51] OnkelTem: i don't have that file on kubuntu 14.04 [19:51] OnkelTem: nothing in that directory [19:51] akik: maybe it's created only when you edit Locale settings. I was editing mine [19:52] that's because I needed to disable Russain as the UI langauge. I've left there only American English [19:52] very similar to what the author describes [19:54] akik: yeah it works! [19:54] huh [19:54] good === kivy is now known as kkk [19:55] Thanks all! === kkk is now known as Guest68702 === kosta is now known as Kosta7 [20:06] `z: hi [20:06] root3: hi [20:09] hi === davis is now known as Guest14623 [20:14] kali_new: hi [20:14] sup [20:15] Hi, I've just installed Mint 18 (based on Ubuntu 16.04) on a new HDD in UEFI mode (I made sure to partition it via GPT and add a 500MB EFI partition with the boot flag), however when I try to start it up the UEFI menu displays it as "ubuntu(Drive not found)", and it doesn't work. Any idea what I should do? [20:15] !mint | lavenderbowl [20:15] lavenderbowl: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:16] I suspect I'll have the same issue if I install plain ubuntu 16.04, hence why I'm asking here [20:16] Since it is a boot issue [20:16] then take it to mint [20:16] lavenderbowl, dual boot ? [20:16] No, fresh new HDD [20:16] so ask in #mint [20:17] oh, sorry mint... btw ... why did you create a esp ? [20:17] (or the correct channel name on the correct irc network" [20:18] Yeah, I asked there. Since there's radio silence over there, I was hoping someone here might have an idea. [20:18] sorry no [20:18] thats not how it works, [20:18] mint is not ubuntu and has variations, so the mint channel supports mint, [20:19] I think I tried 5 installs befor UEFI bot finally worked. There were complications in that the SSD should contain linraries and A raid 0 2 GB array contained the /var /usr/local /tmp /var and /home and there was a seperate 6 Gb disk that should bee left unmounted, but availabe in /media [20:19] younder: what is that in reference to ? [20:20] Does anybody know if it's possible to match the performance of macOS on a macbook using the Ubuntu 16.10? [20:20] ikonia, to lavenderbowl, I guess If at first you don't succeed try again. [20:20] In terms of battery life [20:21] younder: but your random file system mount points are nothing to do with anything === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [20:21] maybe if you are a dedicated kernel hacker solace [20:21] ikonia, random? [20:22] younder: yes, eg: /usr/local has nothing to do with an EFI boot, and it doesn't have to be "left unmounted" [20:22] lavenderbowl: hint - check out how grub was installed, and if the efi fw variable is set up correctly. other than that we can't help you. [20:22] I've only written a few kernel modules, and added some custom system calls for assignments in an operating systems course at school. @DBSNode [20:23] ikonia, It is not left unmounted. There was a separate disk used for backup which was mounted on demand. Perhaps I wasn't clear on that. [20:23] still nothing to do with efi boot [20:24] OK then ducasse , I can always try Ubuntu 16.10 and see if I get the same thing [20:24] What would the main difference be? I'm gonna assume that there are a few optimizations that would have to be made in terms of how scheduling and paging is handled (since apple determines such algorithms device by device) [20:24] solace: it's a closed platform [20:25] is there a way to figure out which packages,versions are installed in a specific coreos release? [20:25] wrong channel :( [20:25] ikonia: Surely there are ways to monitor the behaviour of the kernel? [20:26] 0_0 [20:26] solace: what has the kernel got to do with it ? [20:26] solace: macos and apple hardware are designed to work with each other, i doubt linux devs have access to the same documentation etc. [20:26] and "monitor behaviour" ?? [20:31] Well you don't necessarily need to have Apple's documentation. Performance optimizations will (likely) be handled by the kernel, not by processes. By monitoring behaviour I'm talking about examining how paging is handled, how scheduling is handled, how various services are prioritized in terms of "niceness" [20:32] solace: so basically you don't know what your talking about then [20:32] I would say that I do [20:32] Tell me what i ahve incorrect? === seed_ is now known as Guest68068 [20:33] solace what's you problem ? maybe we can help [20:33] solace: how does the kernel interface with apm to interface with the hardware ? [20:33] paging is pretty much %5 of power optimisation [20:33] so I'm not sure how you expect to monitor the kernel to improve power managment on a partially closed platform [20:36] Hello, I have a jupyter notebook running on my VPS and I am connecting to it using an SSH tunnel. Is there a way that I can connect to it from any computer without the SSH tunnel? [20:36] ikonia, Well it is down to the gowerner. The part of the kernel that controls cpu frequencey and which cores are active. [20:36] younder: it's more than cpu activity that eats power [20:36] tomeaton17 you need to expose the port and then proxy it with a web server afaik [20:36] That's part of what I'm asking. Is there no way to see exactly what the kernel's doing and at what point in time? [20:36] There have to be tools than can used for debugging a kernel [20:37] solace: there are many tools you can use for analysis depending on what/how your working [20:38] I have set up an LTSP server with an Ubuntu chroot, however so I found thermald was halting all my systems so I uninstalled it from the chroot, however when I came to reboot my thin clients, thermald still starts. [20:38] ikonia, My CPU is rated for 3.4 GHz it can run 4 GHz in turbo mode. Bot when ideling it huts down 6 core and run the reaminfg teo at 1.2 GHz. That clearly affects power consumption. === viktor is now known as viktor_afk [20:38] How do I fix this issue? How do I remove thermald? [20:38] younder: yes, I'm not disagreeing, but there is more than cpu cycles that impact power [20:40] Guys? [20:41] ElinKattunge2: look at the host [20:41] it's more likley it's a process running from the host [20:42] ElinKattunge2, thermald is halting your clients ? how many ? what cpu ? [20:43] ikonia: I don't have thermald on the host === me is now known as Guest10987 [20:43] nor do I have thermald on the chroots [20:43] but it is getting some init script from somewhere because I see it started in the kernel log then halt [20:44] Yiota: Ok good idea, will try it out now [20:44] ElinKattunge2: that seems unlikley [20:44] if it's in the kernel log - it's the host [20:44] ioria: To be honest, I didn't want to install Ubuntu, but Debian kept failing with ltsp-build-client [20:44] as the chroot is not running a kernel [20:45] I mean the startup thingie [20:45] The host doesn't have thermald [20:45] yes, but if it's being logged in the host kernel - the host is more likley trying [20:46] and you've already told us the guest doesn't have it [20:46] find the binary [20:46] that will give you a clue [20:47] Nope, no thermald to be found on anything [20:48] ElinKattunge2: why do you think it's running [20:48] I don't know [20:48] what ?? [20:48] you said "it's running" [20:48] now you say "you don't know" [20:48] is it running yes/no [20:48] It said it was [20:48] but I can't find it [20:48] what said it was [20:49] I can't exactly debug the chroot... [20:49] what said it's running [20:49] there is no service for thermald on the host [20:49] what said it's running [20:49] The bootup process on the thin clients [20:49] said it was started then halt [20:50] how are you booting the thin client ? [20:50] Explain? [20:50] how are you booting thin clients from ltsp [20:51] are you just connecting to the terminal service, or are you actually properly booting a remote client [20:51] All I know is that in virtualbox, they boot fine [20:51] sorry - this isn't acceptable [20:51] you're doing something very odd, and something you don't understand [20:52] ElinKattunge2, usually you boot a thin client with dhcp + ftp [20:52] Yes [20:52] that is what is used [20:52] you just said you don't know [20:52] now you say you do know [20:52] Mikrotik router with Next server option configured [20:52] Sorry for not understanding... [20:52] I'm not perfect [20:52] I think you are not being honest with things here as you are changing your responses [20:52] I have tftp and nbd [20:53] ElinKattunge2, t [20:53] I'm struggling [20:53] then what is virutal box for [20:53] I used it to PXE boot as a test [20:53] ElinKattunge2, no nbd involved, iirc [20:53] and it all booted right to the login [20:53] so then why did you say "I don't know, all I know is virtual box" [20:53] now you are saying you're not using virtual box [20:53] No, I am using virtualbox [20:53] sorry - this is an unacceptable approach to debugging [20:54] I used it to PXE boot a chroot as a test [20:54] and it worked [20:54] but my thin clients halt when thermald reports "started" at the boot process [20:54] Sorry once again for my misunderstanding, I'm struggling with wording [20:55] ElinKattunge2, i know 14.04 works well, don't talnk about 15 or 16 [20:55] I use 16 [20:55] *talk [20:56] hello [20:56] ElinKattunge2: if you're having language problems you can try the localized channels. i'm guessing you are scandinavian? [20:57] I'm just hungry [20:57] ElinKattunge2: :) [20:57] lol [20:57] and my brain isn't working right, I am planning on trying this tomorrow again once I've eaten and my strategy might be better. [20:58] ducasse: :) [20:58] You are hungry? Better go eat something. [20:59] ElinKattunge2: does it just hang during boot when trying to start thermald? [20:59] Can't afford it [20:59] ducasse: There is no service for thermald [20:59] honestly [21:00] So I don't understand why it attempts to start it when a service can't be found. [21:00] ElinKattunge2: does it just hang during boot when _it says_ trying to start thermald? [21:00] yes [21:00] halts [21:01] Can I get out of 14.04 HWE while not upgrading to 16.04? [21:02] z [21:02] ElinKattunge2: i suspect thermald is a red herring here [21:02] I used "locate thermald" and nothing [21:02] dpkg -l shows that thermald is not installed [21:03] there are no init scripts for thermald on the system [21:03] ElinKattunge2: which would also indicate that. [21:03] at least red is a proper color for a herring [21:04] Red is a lovely color [21:04] ElinKattunge2: try enabling persistent logging, and dig through the journal from a failed boot to see how far it got [21:04] I have the feature walls in my home painted red! [21:04] What a fantastic color! [21:05] I'm pretty sure journald is an existing command... [21:06] I'm going to bed before I destroy my system, night. I will be back on tomorrow for support. [21:07] Hola === for{} is now known as Extrawelt [21:10] hello i try make auto installer ubuntu 16.10 but i can't skip select locale keymap and country http://pastebin.com/VkFEQnUW [21:14] ihubuntu: try #ubuntu-server, i'm pretty sure that came up not too long ago [21:14] Is Ubuntu 16.04 considered unstable in contrast to 14.04? I must say that since upgrading, I've had nothing but problems [21:14] it's supposed to be pretty stable [21:14] are you on 16.04.1? [21:14] first point release where they fixed tons of things? [21:15] how much software are you running for which you had to add special repos? [21:15] hello [21:15] DammitJim, I didn't specifically install 16.04.1. I upgraded from 15.10. Doesn't 16.04 upgrade to 16.04.1 by itself? [21:15] someone is watching netflix on 16.04? [21:15] cyberspectre: yes, it does [21:16] oh yeah, sorry [21:16] metalliko, the easiest way to be able to watch netflix is to use Google Chrome or Vivaldi browser [21:16] I having a problem with apache, when I change the index.html nothing changes on the webpage, and I tried deleting index.html and it still displays the apache2 welcome page [21:16] ducasse, when I go to 'details' it shows my OS is 16.04, but not 16.04.1 [21:17] tomeaton17: did you restart apache? [21:17] i tried google chrome but it takes me to the system req. page [21:17] ducasse: Yes I turned it off and it still displays the page [21:17] cyberspectre: have you been installing updates? [21:17] metalliko, you might have to enable Chrome's built-in pepper flash plugin. Go to the URL chrome:// plugins and enable the unchecked plugin [21:18] ducasse, yes [21:18] ducasse: But when I stop it using systemctl it is still shown in the ps list [21:18] cyberspectre: what does 'lsb_release -d' say? [21:19] ducasse, looks like it is 16.04.1 [21:21] ducasse, the issues I'm having since upgrading are graphics issues and hard drive IO errors. For months, I had to do manual fsck on every reboot, and half the time it just refused to boot... recently I completely wiped the drives and re-installed, which seems to have fixed that, but now I'm in a login loop where I can't log into a gnome desktop session. Unity works, but it looks wack [21:22] cyberspectre: i/o errors usually meam failing disk. which gpu? [21:23] i think you got bad ram [21:23] ducasse, I doubt it's a failing disk. The disk is only 15 months old, and it reports as 'good' in the SMART data. Plus, Windows has no problems with it [21:23] or failing motherboard [21:24] NixkorN, you talking to me? [21:24] probably bad ram [21:24] i would check for that 1st [21:24] yes [21:25] Interesting. What makes you think it's bad ram? A motherboard I can totally see. That would cause IO errors and graphics errors easily [21:25] or4 cpu [21:25] ram is easyer to repalce [21:25] cyberspectre: new disks can fail too, just saying. [21:25] maybe its the cpu [21:26] since ram is easyer to check [21:26] id start there [21:26] ducasse, right, I know, but I'm considering the SMART data. And I bought a DVR-grade HDD from Hitachi... these things are supposed to last a while [21:27] NixkorN, think maybe it might help just to reseat the modules? [21:27] cyberspectre: take a look at reallocated sectors etc from smartctl. but which gpu? [21:28] ducasse, it's a gtx-670. Getting a little long in the tooth, but it's water cooled so it shouldn't be showing signs of wear [21:28] what resest the modules means? [21:28] if you geting errors across trhe baord might be cpu ralted [21:29] Hm... I wish I could somehow get a definitive answer on what the problem(s) is. This may be one of those situations where you just replace things until you get it right [21:30] every distro has memcheck [21:30] then again, like I said, Windows doesn't hiccup [21:30] start there if you dont get any error its the os [21:30] cyberspectre: windows might not occupy sectors in the failing range(s), examining smartctl output is quickly done. [21:31] Okay. So I should check smartctl and memtest [21:31] How to check smartctl? [21:31] cyberspectre: 'sudo smartctl -a' [21:31] ducasse, I can do that while logged in? [21:31] cyberspectre: 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdxx' [21:31] cyberspectre: yes [21:32] ducasse, smartctl command not found? [21:32] no installation candidate either [21:32] cyberspectre: install smartmontools [21:33] ducasse, this is what the disks utility does, right? [21:34] yes the disks utility also has a smart section [21:34] cyberspectre: it does a simpler check, aiui. [21:37] So just to be clear, there's no reason to think downgrading to 14.04 will help in any way? [21:38] vadviktor: of course it's possible - different kernel version, drivers and central pieces of software. [21:39] cyberspectre: ^^ [21:40] cyberspectre: i've got to get to bed, but i'm sure someone can help if you hang around. [21:40] thanks ducasse [21:43] ducasse, ikonia, Fixed! xD [21:43] Hi, I'm having massive disk writes at every ubuntu boot (in the order of 150GB), I saw it through dumpe2fs [21:43] Problem all solved! [21:45] I have 16.04, stock kernel. I have installed ubuntu since a few days and I already have over 1TB of data written to the newly created filesystem [21:46] continuing this way my SSD will get killed in few weeks or so [21:47] riccardo: unlikely, but 150GB would mean you're getting 5+ minute boot times [21:48] Something is really broken [21:48] I'd boot from USB and see if the same is happening. [21:49] interesting. I'm getting hugely long boot times on my SSD also [21:50] Zen, systemd-analyze says Startup finished in 3.759s (firmware) + 15.920s (loader) + 14.522s (kernel) + 6.895s (userspace) = 41.097s === Mathis|2 is now known as Mathis [21:51] riccardo: systemd-analyze blame [21:52] Zen, this is kinda worrying problem and I just went against it randomly checking my last filesystem check via dumpe2fs [21:52] Zen, nothing irregular there, 6.525s user@1000.service [21:52] 5.261s NetworkManager-wait-online.service [21:52] 833ms gpu-manager.service [21:52] these are the first 3 entries, pretty normal stuff [21:53] Oh, its kernel thats taking ages [21:54] indeed, 14s but it could be anything [21:54] kernel log would be useful in that case, journalctl -xe [21:55] nothing relevant there, just some network red lines [21:57] thing is I don't even have 150GB of data on the SSD, $(df -h) says I have just 45GB used [21:57] riccardo: just because you don't see anything doesn't mean we wont, post it please. [21:59] o.o [21:59] Zen, http://termbin.com/vywo [21:59] riccardo: I must've downloaded a load of cp to your SSD [21:59] quick question for everyone - do these IP tables look like they'll work? https://gist.github.com/carldanley/81cd03b1707caafd01e4066c00714264 [22:02] ElinKattunge2, what do you mean? [22:03] riccardo: ok, not sure, do a fresh install and see if it persists [22:04] Zen, do you have any better idea instead of wiping everything? [22:04] Its the thing thats most likely to solve the issue [22:05] That or the tool you used to look at disk writes was wrong [22:05] or both [22:05] actually [22:05] it is false [22:05] is it though? [22:05] maybe, but I came from a fresh install [22:05] 150GB in 41s is 3.6GB/s [22:06] that's fast [22:06] Thats 29Gbps [22:06] you are assuming it happens just at exact boot time though [22:06] that's more faster [22:06] "more faster" [22:06] DammitJim: huh, no its the same speed [22:06] regardless [22:06] i want to claw my eyes out [22:07] LOL... exactly [22:07] that's why I said more -> faster [22:07] riccardo: you said at every boot, so over what period of time is it? [22:07] happy thanksgiving guys [22:07] it's about 4 or 5 boots [22:08] i just hit 1TB of writes with ~150GB at every boot [22:09] Right.. so its writes over an unspecified amount of time [22:09] I need some confirmation about dumpe2fs being wrong [22:09] idk [22:09] confirmed [22:10] is there any other way to look at a lifetime write of a fs? [22:10] its probably right, but the way you worded your question made it seem like it did 150GB of writes every boot [22:11] well, if I leave the PC on for a few hours, there are no suspicious writes of any kind (constantly checking with $(iotop -Pao)) [22:11] I still don't know the rate at which you're seeing these writes [22:11] by the time the PC boots and I go checking dumpe2fs, I find ~150GB of lifetime writes added [22:12] you're just confusing things even more [22:12] sorry, I'm trying my best [22:12] riccardo: that's confusing. So if you rebooted right now and then immediately checked, you would see ~150GB of writes since you booted? [22:12] exactly [22:13] And if you reboot immediately after that you see another +150GB? [22:13] exactly [22:13] riccardo: or, what I think y ou're trying to say is if you rebooted right now then immediately checked, you would see ~180GB of lifetime writes [22:13] Then sounds like dumpe2fs is probably not correct then [22:13] I hope so or I need another SSD within a week [22:14] eh, SSDs will happily take 500+TB of writes [22:14] tgm4883, that! [22:14] riccardo: riccardo those are two very different things... [22:14] not sure about it, mine is quite old and I recall it being rated +10TB of writes [22:14] it's a Sam 830 evo [22:14] riccardo: see http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead [22:16] Zen, those stats are amazing. I thought they would last much less [22:16] Nope [22:17] If the 840 pro can take 2.4PB of writes, I'm pretty confident yours will be happy with at least 500TB [22:17] Zen, btw do you know any method that can check lifetime writes without using dumpe2fs? [22:18] Zen, this is kinda a relieve. But if I continue adding ~150GB every boot then 500TB is a pretty reachable limit [22:20] hi [22:21] what s the command line to updat ethe grub as user [22:21] riccardo: you aren't adding ~150GB every boot. It sounds like you're adding ~30GB every boot [22:22] Now I'd still say that's likely wrong, but lets at least get the probably stated correctly [22:22] does anyone know the command line to update the grub2 I tried sudo update-grub but it doesn't work [22:22] Guest47427: did you try 'sudo update-grub2' ? [22:22] tgm4883, let's explain it in pseudocode: dumpe2fs.lifetime_writes += 150 [22:23] riccardo: ok, so then what's the output of this command [22:23] hi tgm4883: I also did: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `/cow'. [22:23] tgm4883, and that happens if I reboot my PC [22:23] riccardo: 'sudo lshw -class disk' [22:23] hi tgm4883: I wonder if I need to do it as a root [22:23] Guest47427: well yes [22:23] hi tgm4883: I am running live cd [22:24] tgm4883, http://termbin.com/aqir [22:24] Hi. [22:24] hye [22:25] any clue guys how can I do it as a root? [22:26] riccardo: Whats the output of smartctl for the disk? [22:26] riccardo: ok, so lets assume that the math done earlier was correct but perhaps the time frame was too short. Lets say it takes you 4X as long to check it after booting than was previously stated [22:26] so 164 seconds === lethu_ is now known as lethu [22:27] Zen, http://termbin.com/n7je [22:27] hey folks. i'm writing a grant to get two DIY desktops in my local high school. the idea is to have the students assemble two desktop systems, install ubuntu, and have the two computers "network" with one another. are these two DIY newegg bundles appropriate, and what router would you recommend? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2938462 and http://www.n [22:27] ewegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3186807 [22:28] i wanted the students to see both intel and AMD chips [22:28] riccardo: The previous math indicated 3.6GB/s, so using our new estimate of 4X as long, we're looking at about 900MB/s [22:28] thanks so much for any advice or critique. it's for the children! [22:29] tgm4883, the actual write speed for my SSD should be around 300MB/s i think [22:29] riccardo: 5TB of writes on it so far [22:29] riccardo: assuming that it's all sequential, the Samsung 840 benchmarks at 350MB/s write speed [22:29] the idea is also to have two systems that will still perform in five years, although by "perform" i mean use open source applications [22:29] and not "game" [22:29] riccardo: reboot and run smartctl again, and we will see if the disk thinks its had another 150GB of writes [22:30] Zen, I see but I don't know if 1TB comes from my latest ubuntu installation [22:30] the computers will not have internet access through the school's infrastructure, so i'll be burning the distro to disc [22:30] riccardo: Whats the total that dumpe2fs is showing? [22:30] riccardo: the proper thing to do here is what Zen said, then we can compare what the difference is between both runs [22:30] Zen, Lifetime writes: 1083 GB [22:30] ok [22:31] So reboot, we will see if both go up by a large amount [22:31] roger. doing it now. see you within a min [22:31] zfaarova [22:32] hello [22:32] can anyone help me? [22:32] ask your question [22:32] ive got slow video playback on my raspberry pi with ubuntu mate [22:32] hi [22:33] hi [22:33] and sound doesnt hear aswell === mira is now known as Guest97130 [22:33] ? : [22:33] ramzeus: what type of video? [22:33] can be anything done with that ? [22:33] playing videos in browser [22:33] like movies [22:33] watching online [22:33] What resolution? Flash player in use? [22:34] seriously not enough details [22:34] we don't even know which pi you have [22:34] here I am [22:34] Lifetime writes: 1084 GB [22:34] So.. it hasn't gone up [22:34] just 1GB at this round [22:35] well, 0 < x ≤ 1 [22:35] i have pi 3 , ubuntu mate , i just wanted to watch movie online , and had a bad sound (like damaged tv sound) and slow playback [22:35] Zen, http://termbin.com/wvsn [22:35] float any ideas to my query, and ill read up for sure [22:35] this is the new smartctl output [22:36] my raspberry pi is attached on my 1080p tv [22:37] ramzeus, the only way I have been able to watch video on my pi is using omxplayer. [22:37] iam new with linux system , and dont know what to do ,maybe this raspberry is too weak for online watching [22:37] ? [22:38] Hey everyone. If I f'd up my graphics drivers and cannot reach a greet screen, how might I be able to reinstall them? Every boot brings me to a jumbled screen of vertical lines [22:38] like this http://imgur.com/2Y8vMl6 [22:38] i cant find use for my Pi , [22:38] btw Zen and tgm4883 thanks for the support! [22:39] Hi there Channel [22:39] riccardo: yeah, looks like it jumped ~350MB [22:39] So, thats about normal I should expect [22:40] Th0r , what have you used you PI for ? [22:40] ramzeus: we still don't know if you were using flash, and on what browser would also be useful [22:40] ramzeus, would be glad to discuss it in #raspbian...I have six [22:40] The Pis aren't very powerful, but should be able to handle video play back [22:41] I'm coming here to as a curious question maybe someone can help. I'm trying to block a continent IP with mod_geoip in ubuntu 14.04, but all I can is in every htacess of every domain. But I wanted to do it at a server level and I've done it in apache2.conf, but is giving me an error with the "Deny". How can I blcok ip address ata a server level so I don't have to edit one by one the htacces? Tahnk you all [22:42] Juanete: firewall, I believe its iptables on 14.04 [22:43] can anybody tell me how to change the priority of analog-output sound [22:43] yes, that's the second chance I'm going to take, I was wondering if any solution before taking that path [22:45] anybody ?? [22:45] So I guess I didn't understand OpenGL and I bought a game requiring 4.X (Divinity Original Sin) and I only have 3.0. After doing some research I'm starting to realize that I can't update my OpenGL unless drivers are built around it and it doesn't look like they are (XPS 13 9343 Intel® Core™ i5-5200U CPU @ 2.20GHz × Intel® HD Graphics 5500 (Broadwel [22:45] l GT2) ) [22:46] Am I correct in my assumption or is there a way I can still get it working? [22:47] Juanete: I'm confused to why you wouldn't want to use IPtables, it can act at most levels of the OSI model so should be able to do what you want [22:47] poco_: if your hardware doesn't support it then no [22:48] It's just strange to me that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to check. I saw an official Intel page that my Intel 5500 *can* support OpenGL 4 but I guess at this point it doesn't? It's just strange to me [22:50] because in IP tables I have to ad all the ip's [22:50] Guys, how can I make grup reload operating systems, please? [22:50] It is pointing to a wrong Windows installation [22:50] with the mod_geoip only two letters for a continent [22:50] because using Grup I can't boot to that OS [22:50] but if I select to boot directly that hard drive, the OS boots [22:50] so I think Grub neeeds to update that [22:51] I don't know what to search on the Internet for this topic [22:51] Juanete: geoip would give you many false positives [22:52] tbh I don't even know why you want to block entire continents like that [22:53] because the people coming to the site is only from one country [22:53] poco_: I assume you looked at the output of glxinfo [22:53] poco_: You could try https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads Keep in mind that I haven't tested that so if it breaks you get to keep both pieces [22:53] Yeah [22:53] ok [22:53] The goal is that they are using my mail to send spam mails and I want to blcok any of them trying [22:53] tgm4883: I've been trying that but can't get the deb package to install [22:54] Juanete: sounds like you need to fix your mail server [22:54] poco_: I completely forgot to ask what ubuntu version you're on :D [22:54] 16.04 gnome [22:54] Juanete: oh right, forget blocking like that, use fail2ban [22:54] I'm on it... although I'm not a really advance admin, I'm trying :-) [22:54] poco_: ack.. then mesa just doesn't like you :( [22:55] Already installed today reading Fail2ban [22:55] any advice more than Fail2Ban? [22:55] Its all I really run [22:55] Juanete: I'm not sure about blocking entire continents, but I would just do it via iptables (actually, i'd just use fail2ban) [22:55] Zen: damn :( [22:55] there goes $20 [22:56] I'm reading the mail.log in apache2 and it looks like they are trying all the time from some places not interst on it... same IP address.. but I don't want to be all the time on top of the server adding IP's [22:56] Juanete: I feel you may not be up to running a mail server, mine loves to break on me and I know it inside out [22:56] I tried installing Divinity under Wine but that's a whole other mess than I can't seem to work [22:56] lol [22:56] Though I'm confused to why you are mentioning apache2 if its a mail server.. O,o [22:57] Which guide did you follow to set it up? [22:57] https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-mod_geoip-for-apache2-on-ubuntu-12.04 [22:58] Juanete: which guide did you follow for setting up your mail server? [22:58] hours of reading through plesk and internet... days doing it, taking really care. [22:59] * kali_user asks: I installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 and when I try to do an apt-get xchat-gnome the package cannot be found, how can I figure out what changes to my /etc/apt/source.list are requisite in pursuance of being able to effectuate installation of the package on my target system??? [22:59] hi all [22:59] Juanete: And where did apache2 come into this then? Because apache2 is a web server and has nothing to do with mail servers [22:59] * kali_user says uh, hello all too [22:59] Nobody can help with my simple issue please [23:00] https://support.tigertech.net/mod-geoip [23:00] mod_geoip is a plugin for apache2 yes [23:00] But still has nothing to do with mail servers [23:00] can I still get 14.04? [23:01] well, I'm mixing both concepts because I'm doing it because of mail block listed in internet. [23:01] I want to block this IP's [23:01] jim: I would think so. [23:01] that's why I give the relation [23:02] Sean_McG, ok, I'd like to get the netinstall, 32 bit intel... do you know where that is? [23:02] !mini | jim [23:02] jim: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [23:02] give me a moment. Desktop/Server/something else?... oh, cheers EriC^^ [23:03] * kali_user asks: Hello all! I installed Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 and when I try to do an apt-get xchat-gnome the package cannot be found, how can I figure out what changes to my /etc/apt/source.list are requisite in pursuance of being able to effectuate installation of the package on my target system??? [23:03] !xchat | kali_user [23:03] kali_user: xchat and xchat-gnome have not had stable releases in years. xchat was removed from Ubuntu for 16.04. Consider using hexchat instead, which is actively developed and available in 14.04 onwards. [23:03] jim: it's legacy only fwiw [23:03] See this is what confuses me. The release notes say that Mesa 13.1.0 (which I have) supports OpenGL 4.4 but I'm still on 3.0. How am I supposed to know if my system can get OpenGL 4.X? [23:03] Juanete: but mail servers and web servers do not interact [23:04] Bashing-om, and ubottu: Thank you so very much! I shall do exactly that! [23:04] poco_: there are function calls in OpenGL to get the version string [23:04] Juanete: mod_geoip will make apache block connections from those IPs, but it wont block them talking to your mail server.. [23:04] kali_user: :) happy 'buntu'n . [23:04] Sean_McG: you mean "glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"? [23:04] poco_: or that, yes [23:04] Xchat shall be extirpated from my ansible installation script of packages!?! [23:05] Sean_McG: yeah still showing me string: 3.0 [23:05] join #python [23:05] Sean_McG: [23:05] "OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 13.1.0-devel" [23:05] 8| Really???? [23:05] Juanete: why would it? thats a stupid idea [23:06] poco_: I believe it is possible to build Mesa for older OpenGL APIs [23:06] I thought that if I block that IP, the IP won't enter any port (25) or any other port. [23:06] You're clearly in over your head, probably with a mail server thats acting as an open proxy [23:06] * kali_user says to Bashing-om, et alia: In fact over time I have simply conducted upgrades to Ubuntu and I recently decided its time to conduct a fresh install and reappoint the totality of my configuration. I have installed a virtual machine to do my testing, and am planning to 'ansible-ize' my full configuration after the initial installation was completed. Thanks again. Also, how can I get the status of other packages? [23:06] EriC^^, Sean_McG, thanks :) [23:06] !hexchat [23:07] poco_: I'm still on trusty so mine says 3.3 [23:07] Sean_McG: So why is my system still on 3.0? I mean it's a very modern system and Inetl 5500 graphics seem to support 4.X [23:07] jim: no problem :) [23:07] !wine [23:07] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [23:07] If I block all ports TCP and UDP for an specific IP, wouldn't that block the access to the mail? [23:07] Juanete: yes if you use iptables to do it [23:07] I'm having postfix login fails... [23:07] I guess at this point I'm more curious than anything else to determine why my system isn't supported for OpenGL 4 [23:08] !xchat [23:08] xchat and xchat-gnome have not had stable releases in years. xchat was removed from Ubuntu for 16.04. Consider using hexchat instead, which is actively developed and available in 14.04 onwards. [23:08] Juanete: thats another issue then [23:08] poco_: not sure -- I have an Intel as well and am trying to build a .deb of Mesa 12.0 so I can get OpenGL 4.4 as well [23:08] hey all [23:08] poco_: at least until I can get my nVidia up and working again ;) [23:08] !iscsitarget [23:09] Juanete: you clearly aren't proficient enough with linux and server management concepts to have a hope in hell in getting a functioning mail server working [23:09] how can I stop having my mail.log file full of people trying to access all types of accoutns? [23:09] thank you for saying, but the path to learn is to fail [23:09] hmmm well I can only get a $20 refund of GOG credit, not a full refund. Anyone have any ideas what to get instead of Divinity Original Sin? haha [23:10] hey guys do you know any torrent client for cli ? [23:10] funabashi: I think Transmission has a CLI version [23:10] funabashi: rtorrent [23:11] Juanete: start with something simpler, because you dived in at the deep end, it took me months to get my mail server to be stable and email from it to be accepted by all the major email services [23:11] Pretty sure only a small portion of the people in here have ever gotten a mail server running well too [23:12] I've got sendmail going on my Solaris box, and my Ubuntu machine just smarthosts to it [23:12] ok. I won't quit because of that [23:12] but yes, good luck... mail server configuration is a pain in the ass no matter which MTA you pick [23:13] I came here for help and fix and learn, not for telling me that I don't know how to do it. I already know that. [23:13] Hi, pc started to be very slow, up to the point it wouldn't boot, so I tried to install ubuntu from usb. Installer freezes at 2nd window. sudo badblocks -sv /dev/sda stucks at 0:00 done (elapsed time runs normally). Is it a disk problem? [23:13] For the most part the actual MTA is a simple setup, its the authentication you have to bolt on around it thats a PITA [23:14] Hey all! first time using IRC how is everyone [23:14] Also, when I tried to backup 20GB, it took 2:30 hours [23:14] amikrop: Please pastebin the output of "dmesg" and "sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda". [23:17] Jordan_U: dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524731/ sudo: smartctl: command not found [23:17] sudo apt-get install smarttools -- I think [23:18] cp -avu /source /target is copying files that have the same md5sum and the same date (according to ls -l) [23:18] does anyone have any idea why that might be? [23:18] Sean_McG: smartmontools* [23:18] right [23:18] Sean_McG: E: Unable to locate package smarttools [23:18] amikrop: see my last message [23:19] I have a USB3 drive enclosure mounted as a separate drive that I have used for backups. went to refresh the backup today and it is like it is copying everything.

[23:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524742/ [23:20] Jordan_U: smartctl http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524746/ [23:20] How can I remove/block the LOGIN FAILED from courier-pop3d from a specific IP address and/or user from a domain hosted in the server? [23:20] Jordan_U: also, this output may help http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524742/ [23:21] Juanete: you probably want to firewall them out if they are abusing your system [23:22] Sean_McG: Already did in the Firewall in Plesk, with a new rule Denying it but stilll getting this mail.log errors... [23:22] GRAPHICS TROUBLE: I tried switching from an AMD FirePro 7000 to a Nvidia GTX 970. Long story short, I removed the graphics card and am at my login screen with a single DVI plugged into the motherboard. YAY! Now what? reinstall Nvidia drivers? But the card isn't plugged in yet [23:23] Sean_McG: https://i.imgur.com/HFqQs7H.png [23:23] if you did it right, it shouldn't appear in the mail.log [23:24] When I boot ubuntu, I get a [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules. See 'systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service' for details. [23:24] Juanete: I don't know enough about Plesk to know if that is correct [23:24] Juanete: is it possible the traffic is outgoing as well as incoming? [23:24] Sean_McG: what do you recommend at a system level? [23:24] allthebrians: Physically install the new Nvidia card, then install the proprietary drivers for the card (*If* you want to) via the Additional Drivers tool. [23:25] Hi, I can't open Chromium [23:25] Jordan_U: any conclusions? [23:25] Juanete: no real recommendations [23:26] Sean_McG: [23:26] https://i.imgur.com/oCnaoL6.png [23:26] Juanete: is it possible the firewall rule isn't actually active yet? [23:26] I did that [23:26] OK, I'll look online for solutions via Firefox [23:27] Sean_McG: [23:27] Sean_McG: You were right it wasn't applied [23:28] Sean_McG: Going to check in few minutes [23:28] Thnks!!! [23:28] Juanete: OK, good luck [23:29] amikrop: What are you using postfix for? [23:29] Jordan_U: its just the live usb [23:30] i powered up my system this morning and it doesn't make it to the desktop. it boots as normal, seems to do nothing for a couple minutes while the moving dots and ubuntu logo are up, then drops into a systemd recovery shell or something. i ran journalctl -xb like it said and didn't see anything particularly terrible. there's "name server cannot be used: Temporary failure in name resolution (-3)" from ntpdate, the nvidia driver [23:30] complaining about something, and apparently the swap device cannot be found [23:30] amikrop: Ahh, ok. [23:31] tpw_rules: Any idea why the swap device can't be found? Have you made any changes recently related to that? [23:31] i don't believe so. all my disks are working fine. windows 10 is on the same system, maybe it repartitioned and didn't notice [23:31] aren't disks all mounted by a label now? [23:31] tpw_rules: Anything interesting from "systemctl status lightdm"? [23:32] Jordan_U: it says Active: inactive (dead). and the little mini-log just says systemd stopped light display manager [23:33] tpw_rules: Interesting. Try "systemctl start lightdm". [23:33] that's just brought me back to the purple screen with the moving dots. it will probably give me back a recovery shell in a minute or so [23:33] tpw_rules: windows 10 has a habit of resetting your fastboot options on updates [23:33] Can't find a solution!!! :( [23:33] Zen: what would that do? they aren't on the same partition or even device [23:34] and it's like "timed out waiting for dev\disk-by-uuid\ [23:34] tpw_rules: if you try to mount any ntfs drives in fstab they will fail [23:34] Because windows 10 didn't unmount them cleanly because of fastboot [23:34] oh yeah i know that. but i'm not doing that [23:34] yeah i'm familiar with that irritation [23:34] ok, just something worth mentioning [23:35] all my partitions are in order. i don't think swap is the issue [23:36] tpw_rules: blkid will list disks by UUID so you can identify which is causing that timeout [23:37] yeah it couldn't mount swap because the uuid changed [23:37] can i set it back somehow? [23:37] tpw_rules: Please pastebin the output of "sudo blkid" and the contents of your /etc/fstab. [23:37] if swap UUID changed you need to update fstab with the new UUID then [23:38] if i just update fstab that's all i need to do? [23:38] do i need to muck in systemd? [23:38] tpw_rules: Just make sure that the UUID in /etc/fstab matches the UUID of the swap partition. Though UUIDs don't just change, they are either explicitly set or mkswap is used to re-format the swap partition. [23:39] maybe it was never set correctly in the first place. i'll mkswap and see if that fixes it [23:39] tpw_rules: If that is the only problem, then that is all that you need to fix. [23:39] tpw_rules: Don't do that. [23:39] why not [23:39] Because the UUID will just change again [23:39] and then i'll update fstab with the new uuid [23:40] the partition that i designated as swap is there, it just doesn't have the same uuid [23:40] tpw_rules: There is no reason to re-run mkswap, and if you make a typo you could accidentally overwrite valuable data. [23:40] fair enough [23:42] hello i have a touchscreen and rpi now i need a rightclick anyone can help me ? [23:44] Hi all, two issues that are super annoying on 16.04. 1) Sometimes when I login my mouse cursor doesn't appear for like 30-90 seconds [23:44] if I click and drag I get the blue select box, but the cursor remains hidden until it randomly appears [23:45] 2) sometimes when my computer locks due to in-activity, the box that normally shows my user name and the pasword box is empty so I have to hard-reset [23:45] any ideas> [23:46] on the raspberry pi? [23:46] okay i had to update the UUID for both the efi boot partition and swap partition. windows must have touched them updating [23:46] bleh why is the indexer so slow on Eclipse... I have an 8-core box dammit [23:46] tpw_rules: Windows is not likely to be the cause of this problem. [23:47] then what would have changed the UUID of my efi system partition and swap partition but not the OS partition? [23:47] Live USB installer freezes at 2nd screen.. (and 20gb backup took 2:30 hours).. could it be disk problems? dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524731/ smartctl http://paste.ubuntu.com/23524746/ [23:49] wait god damn it i just realized what happened. grub's configuration got messed up and somehow found an old installation on a disk i had connected [23:49] tpw_rules: Again, UUIDs don't just change. Either the fstab was modified or the partitions were deleted and re-made. [23:49] so it was an old instance expecting different support partitions [23:50] and i was selecting the wrong entry in grub. okay that was entirely my fault [23:52] how do I set up update-alternatives to switch between clang and gcc using the cc var? [23:53] oooo mixing and matching compilers, fun fun fun [23:59] Sean_McG: it worked before, all I had to do was make sure it was set to gcc for the nvidia drivers.
