| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I would expect it to still be on the terminal .. try and copy and paste direct to pastebinit ? | 00:01 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: Also, I assume that you checked in /root/test-logoff-script.log . | 00:01 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: yes, it's not there | 00:01 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It is, how would I do that? | 00:01 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Yeah, I do know you are doing all your best . I too am trying to get through this. And we will .. just time and effort . | 00:02 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: Actually, try "date >> /tmp/test_log.txt" in case lightdm runs as its own user that doesn't have a home directory. | 00:02 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Point your browser to " http://paste.ubuntu.com " /// copy and paste there . | 00:03 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: Why are you rebooting rather than just logging out? | 00:03 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: I need it to run regardless. OK, I can change it and test the logout | 00:04 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575473/ | 00:05 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: Also, please make sure that you're using lightdm as a login manager and not gdm/xdm/etc. | 00:05 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: actually, according to http://askubuntu.com/a/134534, it takes only effect after lightdm is restarted. You can either reboot or login to a console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and run sudo restart lightdm | 00:05 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Unexpected somewaht .. but not too shabby . let's get a new look . show now ' df -h ; dpkg -l | grep linux ' . Where I do expect we deal with the linux-image-extra components . | 00:09 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: ugh, it won't accept sudo restart lightdm. It returns something like, connection to upstart refused :/ | 00:09 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575483/ | 00:09 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, That's pretty good! | 00:10 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: how do I determine whether I'm using lightdm? | 00:10 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: sudo systemctl restart lightdm | 00:10 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: ' df -h ' ? we making headway now ? | 00:11 |
| howarth | the ubuntu virtualbox package seems to be really broken | 00:12 |
| howarth | whereas the oracle virtualbox-5.1 works perfectly | 00:12 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575492/ | 00:12 |
| howarth | the ubuntu ones are at 5.1.6 and behave extremely sluggishly and never produce a usable installation of Windows 10 | 00:12 |
| howarth | whereas the oracles ones install Windows 10 extremely fast and produce a usable copy | 00:12 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: it says, active (running) | 00:12 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Yes, I think so! | 00:12 |
| Jordan_U | clarkk: Then that's what you're using at the moment. | 00:13 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: ok, testing it. brb | 00:13 |
| Jordan_U | !bug | howarth | 00:14 |
| ubottu | howarth: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 00:14 |
| howarth | perhaps it will clear up when ubuntu upgrades | 00:16 |
| howarth | oracle's virtualbox-5.1 is at 5.1.10 whereas ubuntu's is a 5.1.6 | 00:17 |
| Bashing-om | yomYeah we making headway ..There are many things I do not understand the why of .. in this case why we still have a status of "pH" when we remove the images . Let's now poke at it once more ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-3.16.0-72-generic ' , See if it can be removed . | 00:17 |
| howarth | rather puzzled why ubuntu is bothering with the duplication | 00:17 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: ^^ | 00:17 |
| howarth | considering upstream at oracle seems to support the exact same thing for all the ubuntu releases | 00:17 |
| Jordan_U | howarth: Do you have a support question? | 00:17 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Got it! | 00:18 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It completed without error | 00:18 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Scratch that, it completed | 00:19 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Wow .. great ! again try as ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-4.04.0-34-generic ' . | 00:20 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575519/ | 00:20 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I'll run that next | 00:20 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: it doesn't work. Also, running that systemctl restart causes errors in lightdm and and appport | 00:21 |
| blackflow | howarth: Linux native virtualization with KVM is superb. You should try that instead. | 00:21 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, "dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove linux-image-extra-4.04.0-34-generic which isn't installed" | 00:22 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Looks good BUT !! What in the world have you for a boot loader ? I have not seen " Testing for an existing GRUB menu.lst file ... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst " ---- in Years . | 00:22 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, If I knew, I would tell you XD :D | 00:23 |
| Jordan_U | tom-macbook: Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based installation? | 00:24 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Bashing-om, Well, I suppose I should give you some background on the system. | 00:24 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Typo on my part again, should be as ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-4.4.0-34-generic ' .. that silly lottle '0' on the wring place . | 00:24 |
| sploiteer | #drupal | 00:24 |
| blackflow | howarth: btw, the Virtualbox in Ubuntu _is_ the upstream one. Unless you're thinking about open source vs closed source version? Well Ubuntu cannot distribute the closed source one. But anyway, VB is obsolete nowadays, KVM is more than capable. | 00:24 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Bashing-om, My goal for it is so I can pop the 500gb laptop harddrive into any computer (not 32bit) and then have it as my system. | 00:25 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Bashing-om, Some are Bios, others are UEFI. | 00:25 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I'll run that now | 00:26 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Bashing-om I have alot of OS-less Towers and Laptops that I don't have Harddrives for or want to bother installing anything on, so I figured why not have one drive for all of them? | 00:27 |
| kk4ewt | tom-macbook, that really isnt very practical different machines == different hardware that may or maynot work | 00:28 |
| kk4ewt | tom-macbook, your best bet would be live iso on a usb | 00:28 |
| tom-macbook | kk4ewt, es, I realize this. I also use it for personal things however. | 00:29 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It finished without any errors. | 00:29 |
| tom-macbook | kk4ewt, It's good to tinker with. | 00:31 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Figuring out the boot loader once more may be a ral trip .. I do not even remember how to deal with /boot/grub/menu.lst . Was such a long time ago . But for now next ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic ' . | 00:31 |

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I'll run that! | 00:32 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Yes, and the bootloader works in all the places I need, we can save that for another time ;) | 00:33 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, So what is that and how does it work? | 00:33 |

| Ou42 | linux mint user here, but I think I'm Ok here... | 00:53 |
| Ou42 | installed to usb drive on a win8 laptop. told it to put grub on the keydrive and it appeared to not listen, oh but it did. it's MS/Win/UEFI issue. I installed and ran a boot-repair and it added items to boot menu on the keydrive, but I need them apparently on the hdd. any help? | 00:53 |

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575612/ | 00:53 |
| Ou42 | it's a grub issue, s'ok? an ubuntu boot-repair thing almost worked. | 00:53 |
| Ou42 | i have a link to the pastebin | 00:54 |
| Jordan_U | Ou42: #grub for grub issues, ##linux for help with any distro. This channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 00:54 |
| KOLANICH | hi all again. I've managed to install grub and boot from lvm. But I have a few issues. I'm not sure if grub-install is the last stage of installation. I have "install kubuntu permanently" item in the menu. When I was installing packages it asked cdrom though it was in the drive. And I have some weird hdd disks (which are not my hdd) in partition manager and it says they are unwriteable. | 00:54 |
| Ou42 | i told it to install grub on the keydive and it did... but EFI did something and i have to reboot each time i trun on the pc to get it to the grub menu on the keydrive. how can i get grub2 efi menu on the hdd? | 00:54 |
| KOLANICH | Should I reinstall it again? | 00:55 |
| Ou42 | Jordan_U: gotcha | 00:56 |
| clarkk | Jordan_U: it brings up the dialog that says "report a problem" | 00:57 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Well, package manager was not lyeing to us ... show also ' ls -al /usr/src/ ' and we get dirty . | 00:59 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Okay, can do. What is the problem here? | 00:59 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575628/ | 01:00 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I had expected that the files in /lib/modules that the package manager would have automagically dealt with . I do not know the why the PM did not . | 01:01 |
| DrNapster | what is the best way to get 4k looking good? any suggestions? | 01:02 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: make sure VAAPI and/or VDPAU work on your machine | 01:02 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: and more realistically, have a recent nVidia card and their proprietary binary blob driver | 01:03 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I see | 01:03 |
| DrNapster | i have proprietary nvidia for my 1070 everything is just unusably small the scaling is awful | 01:04 |
| BetaTD | sup? | 01:04 |
| BetaTD | someone have good examples of cpu benchmark code? | 01:05 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Humm,... I must have messed up somewhere on removing the headers . let's see what now results ' sudo dpkg -P linux-headers-4.4.0-{34,38,42,43} ' . | 01:05 |
| BetaTD | or some default problems to do bench on linux machines | 01:05 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, If you did, no worries. This is a great learning experience for us all | 01:06 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It completed, doesn't say anything about errors | 01:07 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: gimme a bit to gather my thoughts .. think we may want to try in re-install "iU linux-image-generic " stuff .. think'n . | 01:08 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Alright :) | 01:08 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: ah OK then... check that VDPAU and VAAPI work then | 01:09 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: I have a 1070 as well :) | 01:09 |
| DrNapster | im not sure what you mean by vdpau and vaapi | 01:10 |
| timeless[m] | hi | 01:10 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: Google is a thing :) | 01:10 |
| DrNapster | yeah im working on the google now lol | 01:10 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Still thin'nnnn // I got a honey-do to take care of .. be back in a bit - maybe 15 minites ? | 01:11 |
| DrNapster | oh also i should mention im using ubuntu mate | 01:11 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Alrighty! I'll work on this macbook in the meantime. | 01:11 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, So, what is that apt-get command you sent? | 01:15 |
| Sean_McG | DrNapster: some hints: open up a Terminal window and check the results of 'vainfo' and 'vdpauinfo' | 01:17 |

| chalcedny | :) | 01:24 |
| chalcedny | i never used to mess with windows | 01:24 |
| Jordan_U | tom-macbook: It looks like you currently have grub legacy installed. The command I gave will install packages for grub2 for both BIOS and UEFI. (Either of which will only result in a system that is bootable if you otherwise have the appropriate partitions like a BIOS Boot Parittion and an EFI System Partition mounted to /boot/efi/ (those are two separate partitions)). | 01:25 |
| chalcedny | putting his back together i don't know how to do. | 01:26 |
| tomreyn | chalcedny: what's up with this hard drive? | 01:26 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Is there any way to have both? | 01:26 |
| Jordan_U | tom-macbook: Yes. You just need to have the things I mentioned setup. | 01:26 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Awesome!!! You just gave me the answer i've been after for months | 01:27 |
| chalcedny | tomreyn, he woke up yesterday after it crashed. it says the drive is full, but it shouldnt be. we got it to boot to one of his 3 users, but its 14.04, not 16.04 like it should be, and it had no internet connection (wired) | 01:27 |
| nubcake | how can i get mysql-server to accept connections from my lan? | 01:27 |
| chalcedny | we managed to get it to see the web | 01:27 |
| nubcake | lsof -Pni :3306 is: mysqld 1332 mysql 27u IPv4 17320 0t0 TCP 127.0.0.1:3306 (LISTEN) | 01:28 |
| chalcedny | it has no ssh and repositories are basic for trusty only | 01:28 |
| Jordan_U | tom-macbook: If you want to be able to move the drive from one computer to another you'll also need to run "sudo grub-install --removeable --target=x86_64-efi". | 01:28 |
| tomreyn | chalcedny: oh i missed the backlog on this. alright. reinstalling is probably the easiest. | 01:28 |
| tomreyn | also i'm afraid i got to go for some 40 miniutes... | 01:29 |
| chalcedny | tomreyn, hes sleeping, enjoy but if you can help id sure be grateful :) | 01:29 |
| tomreyn | chalcedny: look into why it seems that the drive is full first, use 'df' and 'du' on a terminal | 01:30 |
| chalcedny | ah ok | 01:30 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, Amazing, Thank you so much! | 01:31 |
| tomreyn | or Baobab as a graphical tool | 01:31 |
| chalcedny | can we fix repositories and get ssh back? | 01:31 |
| tom-macbook | Jordan_U, After I figure out this issue with my headers and kernals, I'll be sure to do that! | 01:31 |
| chalcedny | its a lot easier for me to work from my system | 01:32 |

| ObrienDave | i have Chrome 55 | 01:45 |
| Frozenlock | But not Chromium, right? | 01:46 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I am back ,, you still here ? Do we continue ? | 01:52 |
| ObrienDave | if you really need chromium 55 there is a PPA but that would be unsupported here | 01:53 |
| Geo | Can I plug a SATA internal HD into an E-SATA port? Is there any pro/con to using that port over the standard sata port? | 01:53 |
| ObrienDave | geo, with an Esata to sata adapter, yes. Esata can do 5Gbps iirc | 01:54 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Yep! | 01:54 |
| ObrienDave | Frozenlock, if you really need chromium 55 there is a PPA but that would be unsupported here | 01:55 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Let's finish this | 01:55 |

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, What do you have in mind? | 01:58 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Let's try and stay clean . run next ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image{,-extra}-4.4.0-{46,52}-generic linux-headers-4.4.0-{46,52}{,-generic} ' . We will return to the /lib/modules/ and perhaps /usr/src/ if and when we have too . | 01:58 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, KO | 01:59 |
| Frozenlock | ObrienDave: Might be worth a look. Could you give me the link? | 02:00 |

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23575808/ | 02:09 |
| Geo | amd this is maybe just a little off topic, so please feel free to redirect me- but i'm transitioning my ubuntu drives to a new computer. I have 4 drives in a raid 5 for large storage, and 2 drives mirrored for OS/home dirs. I'll need to add a sata pcie card to accomodate them all, should the OS drives be on the motherboard sata ports, or the pcie sata ports? | 02:10 |
| tomreyn | Geo: it probably doesn't matter unless you've got a mix of 3 / 6 gbps controllers or drives. also, usually (but not necessarily) a separate controller will have more cache, which may be another criteria that might matter. | 02:13 |
| Geo | tomreyn, thanks! more cache is better, I assume? | 02:13 |
| tomreyn | faster reads, unless it also does write caching, but then it should have a battery which it probably doesn't have unless you pay extra. | 02:14 |
| ObrienDave | yes, unless you like bashing spinning rust drives ;P | 02:14 |
| Geo | ObrienDave, which configuration would you recommend? | 02:15 |
| Wotac | hi, i tried to install more fonts but the PPAs didn't really work, now one of them altered fontconfig and updating or installing software doesn't work | 02:15 |
| Wotac | it suggests that i do "apt-get -f install" but it can't do that | 02:15 |
| ObrienDave | so, you want to use unsupported PPAs, and then ask for help fixing it? | 02:16 |
| Wotac | no, i want to revert it so i won't be using it after all | 02:16 |
| ObrienDave | that entails fixing what you did | 02:17 |
| Wotac | it's saying this: "libfontconfig1 : Depends: fontconfig-config (= 2.12.1-0-0ubuntu3-bohoomil-ultimate-ppa20160423) but 2.11.94-0ubuntu2 is installed" | 02:17 |
| tomreyn | Geo: unless you are willing to review and compare the mainboard controller and separate controllers' specifications (and the BIOS is able to boot from either) it doesn't matter at all. | 02:17 |
| ObrienDave | Geo, I'm not much of a RAID person | 02:18 |
| Geo | yeah, i hear you... i guess the real question is, is the pcie bus itself a bottleneck | 02:18 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, /boot has 193mb free space | 02:19 |
| Geo | I'd want the performance on the OS disks | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | Geo: not if it's PCIe 3.0 (6 Gbps) | 02:19 |
| tomreyn | Geo: IF you'll review the specifications and there are differences which suggest one of the controllers will be faster, then decide what's more important to you: slightly shorter OS boot time and application start time, or slightly faster access to stored data? | 02:20 |
| Geo | ok, thanks again | 02:20 |
| Somethingss | Do I get Mate (terminal) support? | 02:21 |
| Somethingss | I mean here in this channel, or is it an another one? | 02:21 |
| ObrienDave | Somethingss, you can ask in #ubuntu-mate for Mate specific things. here for Ubuntu core issues | 02:22 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Huh ? as much as we have removed ?? and setting at only 193mb free space .. where are you seeing this from ?? last "df" I saw we were looking good . If we are for real at such a meager free space sure puts the brakes on the next recommnedation ! | 02:22 |
| tomreyn | Geo: you should rather use RAID6 than RAID5, though, it is much better. | 02:23 |

| glitchd | jnewt, theres no reason to troubleshoot transmission...just use deluge | 02:40 |
| ObrienDave | jnewt, easiet to uninstall transmission and reinstall | 02:41 |
| glitchd | jnewt, even if u figure out what is wrong with it, its still not that great of a problem. upgrade to deluge. | 02:41 |
| glitchd | jnewt, *not that great of a program | 02:41 |

| mojtaba | Hello, I have an extra 16 GB SSD drvie on my computer. Is it possible to install fresh ubuntu on it and point the home directory to my current home directory? (I mean can I share my home directory between different OSes?) | 02:52 |
| Sean_McG | mojtaba: don't see why not | 02:52 |
| Sean_McG | 16 GB seems small for an SSD though | 02:53 |
| tom-macbook | mojtaba, Keep in mind that this doesn't include your personal files and programs | 02:53 |
| mojtaba | tom-macbook: What do you mean by personal files? | 02:53 |
| mojtaba | Sean_McG: It was on it. | 02:53 |
| tom-macbook | mojtaba, Documents, Pictures, Music etc that you keep with that OS | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I know nothing about Mac(s) .., Animosity from the old Amiga days - and thus far I have managed to avoid Macs . | 02:54 |
| Sean_McG | Amiga was such an amazing machine for it's time | 02:54 |
| mojtaba | tom-macbook: I thought those are on my home directory | 02:54 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I can hardly blame you. I am not pleased with apple as of late. | 02:54 |
| tom-macbook | mojtaba, Yes, they are. | 02:56 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: A gentle poke again ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.16.0-72-generic ' . Does what ? | 02:56 |
| mojtaba | tom-macbook: So why I don't have access to them? I am going to point to the same home directory | 02:57 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It completed without error | 02:57 |
| tom-macbook | mojtaba, Ah, if there is a way to do that, then yes. Sorry, I may have misunderstood the original question. | 02:58 |
| mojtaba | tom-macbook: that's fine. | 02:58 |
| jnewt | ObrienDave, sure, I forgot about that issue. as soon as I remembered it, the question changes to why do i always have to flush iptables? | 02:58 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: thin'nnnnn . | 02:59 |
| jnewt | or maybe Why does transmission not start (as opposed to just not download) when there is something up with iptables? | 03:00 |
| mojtaba | The last question, should I create every partition on the SSD, except the home directory? | 03:01 |
| mojtaba | How should I point to the home directory that I currently have? | 03:01 |
| mojtaba | How much should be the size of each one? (considering the capacity of the SSD is 16GB) | 03:02 |
| Somethingss | Mounting | 03:02 |
| Sean_McG | you can just add the old drive to /etc/fstab and mount it directly to /home | 03:02 |
| Sean_McG | (unless you feel comfortable configuring automount) | 03:02 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Next is my own slow way ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-3.16.0-73-generic ' . Seems we are doing good here . | 03:03 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I agree | 03:03 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, That went through quite well. | 03:03 |
| tom-macbook | All done. | 03:03 |
| Sean_McG | oh wait no, if that drive has a whole OS, you might need to mount it elsewhere and potentially symlink /home/<your_user> | 03:03 |
| mojtaba | Sean_McG: Yes that drive has the whole OS. | 03:04 |
| mojtaba | Sean_McG: is there anyway of making this automatic? | 03:04 |
| mojtaba | Or I have to mount it each time? | 03:05 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Great .. next ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-4.4.0-52-generic ' . Cause -52 is not yet prime time in the repo ! | 03:05 |
| Somethingss | Sean_McG: Wouldn't symlinking to /home be enough? | 03:05 |
| Sean_McG | yes, you can tell mounts in /etc/fstab to be automatic | 03:05 |
| mojtaba | Thanks | 03:05 |
| Sean_McG | Somethingss: yes | 03:05 |
| Somethingss | mojtaba: You could create a folder /myolddrive, automount it and a symlink should pick it up | 03:05 |
| mojtaba | Somethingss: thanks | 03:06 |
| mojtaba | Sean_McG: thanks | 03:06 |
| ObrienDave | jnewt, i don't know, but since you're using a VM ask in their group | 03:06 |

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, ^^ | 03:07 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Yep, got my horse before the cart - thought that was gone .. ok try as ' sudo dpkg -P linux-image-extra-4.4.0-52-generic ' first . | 03:10 |
| Sean_McG | mojtaba: actually it would be more correct to say that entries in /etc/fstab are automatic by default, and have to be set as 'noauto' when you don't want them to mount automatically | 03:11 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, That one finished well. Should I run the command you sent before again? | 03:12 |

| wedgie | chacewhatwhat: does the login screen (where you enter your password) have a selector to choose which DE to use? | 03:30 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: "The link /initrd.img is a damaged link " here is of some concern .. Last night that symlink was not established !

| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Perhaps, but there is a chance that it will fix itself, like it did with .52? | 03:34 |
| Sean_McG | nedbat: not 100% certain, but I think they can be safely ignored, especially the one concerning the kernel headers for -31 not being found | 03:35 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Well .. perhpas before you reboot - inaugerate what Jordan_U advised and get grub-2 installed , that will fix the symlinks . // look'n now to see where we are kernel wise . | 03:35 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Well .. if the system is in a consistent state and the package manager is happy hapy happy .. there will be no issue . after 'autoremove there should only be 2 kernels in the install left . | 04:40 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Apparently all of my linux systems have a dist-upgrade | 04:40 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Alright! Hopefully that is how it will happen. | 04:41 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: "dist-upgrade" upgrades installed packages .. has nothing direct to do with a release upgrade to the next version release . Different command to effect the release-upgrade . | 04:42 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Ah. | 04:42 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I'm still a bit fuzzy on them all. | 04:42 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: It is amazing to me what I do not understand - one of the reasons I do what we do here - . learning linux is a life time process . | 04:43 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Yes, I can tell. And it is definitely path to success | 04:44 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It'll get you far in the long run. | 04:45 |
| uxfi | hi tom-macbook | 04:46 |
| tom-macbook | uxfi, Hello | 04:46 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: If that last completed with no issues , now run ' sudo rm /boot/*-3.16.0-71-generic ' . And we take a final look at ALL . | 04:47 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Hello | 04:47 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: NO!!!!!!! | 04:48 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Sounds g | 04:48 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Oh? | 04:48 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I haven't put it in yet | 04:48 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: 71 is opur booting kernel .. I gor my wires crossed . | 04:48 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, No worries. It's all looking the same to me too XD | 04:48 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: run ' sudo rm /boot/*-3.16.0-77-generic ' . It is the -77 .img we want gone gone . | 04:49 |

| lenswipee | hi, i have a stand alone program that i have to manually install. google tells me to drop it in /user/bin so that all users can access it. any thoughts? | 04:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Can anyone give me a hand installing Ubuntu 16.10 on an old machine? | 04:51 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, I probably can to an extent | 04:52 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, What machine? | 04:52 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: OK .. final check we hope . ' ls -al /usr/src/ ; ls -al /lib/modules/ ; ls -al /boot/ dpkg -l } grep linux ' . If now all agree we have the "system heal thy self " . | 04:52 |

| Flaz | Hello to all | 04:54 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I'm getting rid of Windows, and I know the install process to an extent, but when I try to boot from a USB I get stuck on the splash screen | 04:54 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576322/ | 04:54 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Those were a bit out of order, sorry | 04:54 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I can get to the selection screen for install or try but after I select one A: it gets stuck at the splash screen or B: it goes to black screen | 04:55 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, That could be a variety of reasons. | 04:56 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: good si far perfect .. and /boot/ ? | 04:56 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576325/ | 04:56 |
| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | InstallingUbuntu Have you tried ? | 04:57 |
| ubottu | InstallingUbuntu Have you tried ?: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:57 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Tried it, it gave me a corrupted looking screen | 04:57 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Like Tv static but colored and slanted | 04:57 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, Kind of red lines? | 04:57 |
| InstallingUbuntu | somewhat | 04:58 |
| Flaz | I've a big problem with package, i have tryed all, "make clean" and all commands to fix, but i've yed many damaged packets | 04:58 |
| Flaz | so I can not install or fix almost anything | 04:58 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, Do they morph around and glitch with the cursor? | 04:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | no, it just freezes up at that point | 04:58 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, Do you have a graphics card? | 04:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | not sure | 04:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | let me check | 04:59 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, Like Nvidia or similar | 04:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | probably not | 04:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It's basically scrap | 04:59 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, I see... | 04:59 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Now with a bit of unknown how grub will re-act ; run ' sudo apt-get -f install ; sudo dpkg --configure -a ' . | 05:00 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, Is it the correct architecture? | 05:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yep, 32 bit | 05:00 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Yes sir! Let's get it knocked ot | 05:00 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, colored and slanted is indicative of a syncing issue | 05:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok? | 05:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | What should I do? | 05:01 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, apt-getf install returned with all 0's except for 1 not upgraded. | 05:01 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, let's see what dpkg does | 05:02 |
| ObrienDave | video sync, you might have to see if there's a setting to use your display resolution and/or refresh rate | 05:02 |
| chovy_ | anyone have an asus zenbook? | 05:02 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, dpkg configure did nothing. Or if it did, it returned straight to prompt. | 05:02 |
| InstallingUbuntu | My monitor is an old Gateway FPD1530 | 05:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | What should my next step be? | 05:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Should I try a different monitor, or is it my graphics? | 05:05 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: A return to prompt is a great thing ! ..ok .. now for grub . what now is set for booting ? show ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' . | 05:05 |
| tom-macbook | InstallingUbuntu, I do not know about syncing issues, but it wouldn't hurt to try a different monitor. | 05:05 |
| ObrienDave | it is 1024x768 it should work. see if the screen menu has sync settings | 05:05 |
| InstallingUbuntu | No sync settings in the menu | 05:06 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576335/ | 05:06 |
| lenswipee | what's the difference between usr/local and usr/locale? | 05:06 |
| ObrienDave | or, when installing and you get to that part, the display menu might have an 'auto' setting | 05:06 |
| InstallingUbuntu | there's an Auto/set button | 05:06 |
| ObrienDave | try that | 05:07 |
| tom-macbook | lenswipee, Locale usually has something to do with region | 05:07 |
| InstallingUbuntu | 1 min | 05:07 |
| lenswipee | tom-macbook, where do i manually install programs to? /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin? | 05:08 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Just hit Try w/o installing... | 05:08 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Great again ! .. I can live with that - if the system honots grub2 at this point . your call .. reboot now and see .. or take Jordan_U's advise and do the grub2 install prior to rebooting ?? | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: ~/bin | 05:08 |
| InstallingUbuntu | takes a few seconds to do anything | 05:08 |
| tom-macbook | lenswipee, I wouldn't know the answer to that one, sorry :/ | 05:08 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Honors* | 05:08 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, what ~ mean | 05:08 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, https://panam.gateway.com/s/Manuals/Desktops/8508866/ | 05:09 |
| Jordan_U | lenswipee: What are you trying to install? | 05:09 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: your home directory | 05:09 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I'll take Jordan_U's advice and try that out. | 05:09 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, i want all users to access program | 05:09 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I feel that is the better course . | 05:09 |
| lenswipee | Jordan_U, a program that doesn't have a package manager | 05:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Ok I see ubuntu 16.10 | 05:09 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: then install stuff the correct way, using apt | 05:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | loading... | 05:09 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I agree | 05:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | and that is my monitor ObrienDave | 05:10 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Should I also run the "sudo grub-install --removeable –target=x86_64-efi"? | 05:10 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, it came as a tar file | 05:10 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, yes, sent you a link for the manual | 05:10 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: then i suggest you delete it and find a better way of getting the software | 05:10 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, Unfortunately the company who made it done it this way | 05:11 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Now its showing the Windows 7 shutting down screen (which was the last thing on the monitor before rebooting) but the image is all staticy | 05:11 |
| InstallingUbuntu | very strange | 05:11 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, no better way. it's from company site. | 05:11 |
| InstallingUbuntu | going to try the auto/set | 05:11 |
| ObrienDave | k | 05:11 |
| InstallingUbuntu | aaaaaaaand it did nothing | 05:11 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, ALRIGHT....Configuring grub-pc. I feel i need to be careful here. | 05:12 |
| ObrienDave | staticy, try checking cable connections | 05:12 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: then i'd put it in /opt/<software> | 05:12 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Got me .. I was not paying full attention to that detail . as I thought you understood Jordan_U's directive . | 05:12 |
| InstallingUbuntu | cable connections are fine | 05:12 |
| InstallingUbuntu | thats the 1st thing I tried | 05:12 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, opt meaning? | 05:12 |
| ObrienDave | onboard graphics? | 05:12 |
| ObrienDave | or video card | 05:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ObrienDave I dont think it has either | 05:13 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, What about grub install devices? Which one do I want? | 05:13 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: historically option i think | 05:13 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: show me ' sudo fdisk -lu ' so we see what is . | 05:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ObrienDave I can go back to Win7 and check the specs | 05:13 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, what's wrong with /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin? | 05:14 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, yea, if it a card, check to see if the card came loose | 05:14 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: those directories are used by the system, could cause conflicts | 05:14 |
| tom-macbook | paste.ubuntu.com/23576430 | 05:14 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, ^^ | 05:14 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, http://askubuntu.com/questions/65728/where-to-install-software-and-executables-for-all-users | 05:15 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, link says /usr/bin or usr/local/bin | 05:16 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: then do whatever you want | 05:16 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Your 1st hard drive is the ubuntu install and you want grub installed to 'sda' / Unless a dire need exist always install to the MBR ( sector 0) . for the boot code .. that is 'sda' . | 05:16 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Got it. Thank you. | 05:17 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, That has completed. now for the EFI version I guess | 05:17 |
| tom-macbook | And now that is done. | 05:18 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: EFI is not in my bag of tricks ( yet) . | 05:18 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, It completed without error and is at the prompt, so I'll go along with it. | 05:18 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, One more command and I'll reboot. | 05:19 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: ' sudo update-grub ' . says all Okee Dokeee ? | 05:19 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, The specific command being "sudo grub-install --removeable –target=x86_64-efi" | 05:19 |

| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Ya got time to delve into a mess with tom-macbook ?? | 05:26 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Actually, I understand Jordan_U 's instructions. It is only one grub at a time unless they are on different partitions. So let's stick with grub-pc | 05:27 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: My concern is being able to boot this system in the event of failure . we are going to assume that sda2 is the boot partition for this EFI install . | 05:29 |

| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, you might have to go to a much older version, and do the upgrade to 16.10 from there | 05:31 |
| InstallingUbuntu | What version? | 05:31 |
| ObrienDave | oldest LTS is 12.04 | 05:32 |
| ObrienDave | that's good for 6 more months | 05:32 |
| InstallingUbuntu | but isn't that a later version? | 05:32 |
| ObrienDave | no, it's year,month | 05:32 |
| InstallingUbuntu | oooh | 05:32 |
| ObrienDave | 12.04 is april 2012 | 05:32 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: " 993280 485M 83 Linux " says this is not a EFI install ! | 05:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ ? | 05:33 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, So how should we proceed? | 05:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Should I install that on my USB with Rufus? | 05:34 |
| John[Lisbeth] | rufus is a fine tool | 05:34 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, yes, get the 386 version. can you do torrents? | 05:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I just downloaded it | 05:35 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: With your desure to also be able to boot this drive in a EFI environment .. I can not advise on a means to install grub to make that doable . | 05:35 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, which OS are you using now? | 05:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I'm on a separate computer, Win10 | 05:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | The junk pc is Win7 Ultamate | 05:36 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Completly understandable. It can always be done later as well. Let's continue on the course we were headed and wrap this up! :) | 05:36 |
| InstallingUbuntu | The junk one is the one I'm installing on | 05:36 |
| ObrienDave | ok, not familiar with rufus but any program that can properly install to USB would work. personally, i've had better luck burning DVD | 05:37 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok | 05:37 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Well I'm installing it on the USB | 05:37 |
| ObrienDave | k, can you do torrents? | 05:38 |

| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: we can install grub2 . but as to how to get it back to "what it was" I just do not have that recall of how grub legacy worked . | 05:42 |

| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, the 'try it' part has very limited wireless support. you might just have to install and see | 05:50 |
| lenswipee | InstallingUbuntu, why not? | 05:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I have a Belkin F9L1101v2 and the system doesn't seem to recognize it | 05:50 |
| ObrienDave | ok, i need that break. 5 min | 05:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | oh wait | 05:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | now I see it | 05:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yeet | 05:51 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, SDA4 is kind of a little bridge partition. It is so I can move things back ad forth on systems that don't talk to eachother. A flashdrive esque sort of thing. | 05:51 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Me personallky to tell the truth here 0 I do not know the specific problem . tom-macbook had explained it to Jordan_U , and Jordan_U gave the solution . I was not paying full attention to that . | 05:51 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Bashing-om would be able to explain my situation a bit better, I do not know the lingo, but I can try. | 05:51 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ I can send the things Jordan_U posted. I wrote them donw | 05:52 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: try to explain the problem | 05:52 |
| EriC^^ | what are you trying to do? | 05:52 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576526/ | 05:54 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, In the long run, I've had this linux OS on a laptop harddrive for me to take around with me and use on various systems for personal or other purposes. Also for tinkering. | 05:54 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I have alot of towers and laptops and one harddrive, so I switch around alot. | 05:55 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, cool | 05:55 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok | 05:55 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: so it's not to be used with a mac right? | 05:55 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: fdisk -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576526/ for tom-macbook . | 05:55 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Looks like it sees my router | 05:55 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, No. | 05:55 |
| ObrienDave | excellent | 05:56 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, If it could be, that would be cool, but that is not my priority. | 05:56 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Yep, it has internet | 05:56 |
| ObrienDave | ok! go for the install | 05:56 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, type sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 | 05:56 |
| InstallingUbuntu | After the install, do you recommend I upgrade or stay w/ this version? | 05:56 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Can do. | 05:57 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, when it's done, do ALL of the updates first and then we'll get you to 16.04 at least | 05:57 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, http://termbin.com/lxxl | 05:57 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Should I check download updates while installing? | 05:57 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ I'm afraid to reboot to fix Bashing-om 's and I's little adventure if grub won't work | 05:57 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, you can | 05:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | and 3rd party software? | 05:58 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: you don't have a live usb at hand? | 05:58 |
| ObrienDave | yes, that's for mpeg and MP4 stuff | 05:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | alright | 05:58 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Yes | 05:58 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, it will take 20 minutes or so | 05:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Replace Windows 7 with Ubuntu | 05:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I already copied what I want to save so... | 05:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | get er done I guess | 05:59 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: tom-macbook I need that grub is able to boot the 4.4.0-51 kernel . as is from the grub-legacy was booting 3.16 kernel . | 06:00 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, you need a fat32 partition for efi to work | 06:00 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, if you want to keep W7 you must go the dual boot route | 06:00 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: you could delete the swap partition and make it 300mb less or so and create a fat32 with that | 06:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Nah, I have enough Windows computers. I want a 100% dedicated linux box | 06:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Installing | 06:00 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: the drive is "Disklabel type: dos" . Is that not a problem in that we want GPT ? | 06:01 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alright. I'll do that now, but is it safe to turn the system off without fixing grub? Also, the computer that the system is on right now is Bios. | 06:01 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: or you could use the /boot partition, and make /boot a part of "/" | 06:01 |
| ObrienDave | k, i'll be here and EriC^^ is very good at what we're trying to do :) | 06:01 |
| EriC^^ | so you still have an adequately sized swap for hibernation stuff | 06:01 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Whatever you think would be best. | 06:01 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: i think turning the /boot would be better | 06:02 |
| lenswipee | how to remove admin locks in file say in /usr/foo.txt? | 06:02 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alright, So i'll power down the computer and boot into my linux recovery environment? | 06:02 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: no, it'll still work with msdos | 06:02 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: you're going to need to be more specific | 06:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Almost finished copying files looks to be about 80% :) | 06:03 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: K. I sit back and watch a master at work :) | 06:03 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: no you can do it from the actual session | 06:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ObrienDave Also, I want to thank you for your help | 06:03 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, I owe you alot. Is there anything I can do to return the favor? | 06:03 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, you till have to do the update part, that's next iirc | 06:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yep | 06:04 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, i have a file that has a lock icon on it that i want removed for another user to access | 06:04 |
| ObrienDave | *still | 06:04 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: what file | 06:04 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Please enlighten me, I ddon't want to miss anything | 06:04 |
| ZeekHuge | Hi ! I have 14.04 on my laptop(thinkpad T430) and using it with Dell screen through VGA port . I usually keep a lot of applications opened in al the 4 workspaces . But sometimes, when I resume the computer, the lightdm crashes, that is the login window appears for a second, and then everything starts back like I its a new login. And when i log in, the system shows an internal error related to ubuntu-geoip-provider. | 06:04 |
| ZeekHuge | can you please help | 06:04 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, type sudo cp -a /boot /boot.backup | 06:04 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, no problem, we've all been there :) | 06:04 |
| ZeekHuge | I don want it to crash | 06:04 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Done | 06:04 |
| ZeekHuge | though its not very frequent ... but still 3 out of 10 times | 06:04 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, foo.txt in /usr/foo.txt | 06:05 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: sudo umount /boot | 06:05 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I'll be back in a few mins | 06:05 |
| ObrienDave | np | 06:05 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: what's the output of "ls -ld /usr/foo.txt" | 06:05 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I'm doing all of this from SSH btw | 06:05 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: np | 06:05 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I still have access to the gui and terminal on the actual computer. | 06:06 |
| EriC^^ | ok, cool | 06:06 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Done | 06:06 |
| ZeekHuge | also ... I have observed that the system is not 'super stable' with an external display. Is that because of different resolutions of the two screens ? | 06:06 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sda2 | 06:06 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alright, that finished | 06:07 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: sudo blkid /dev/sda2 | 06:07 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: get the uuid and type sudo nano /etc/fstab | 06:08 |
| InstallingUbuntu | back | 06:08 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: comment out the line that has /boot in it, and make a new line that says UUID=04B0-166A /boot/efi vfat umask=0077 0 1 | 06:08 |
| EriC^^ | replace your uuid from blkid ^ | 06:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | looks like its Configuing things | 06:09 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Nano reports "/etc/fstab is being edited by root with VIM 704 PID 646 | 06:09 |
| tom-macbook | " | 06:09 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: np | 06:09 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, good, just let it cook until it reboots | 06:10 |
| ObrienDave | *reboots into the desktop | 06:10 |
| ZeekHuge | anyone ? | 06:10 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ObrienDave I also have a couple of questions | 06:10 |
| ObrienDave | shoot | 06:10 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Can I make this be both a Linux desktop and a home media server? | 06:11 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alright, that is in. Just to clarify, the line with boot goes UUID=balh blah /boot ext 4 etc? | 06:11 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I comment that one out and replace with the one you sent? | 06:11 |
| InstallingUbuntu | And can I make it so I can remotely access the desktop | 06:12 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: " I owe you alot. Is there anything I can do to return the favor?" as you said - just hang in here and help others . | 06:12 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, not 100% sure what package would do that but I don't see why not. | 06:12 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, You got it my friend. | 06:12 |
| ObrienDave | for both | 06:12 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It's probably as simple as following a few tutorials | 06:12 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: yeah, replacing your uuid with mine | 06:12 |
| PickledEggs | InstallingUbuntu: remotely access your Ubuntu desktop? | 06:13 |
| tom-macbook | ALright, got it | 06:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Yeah | 06:13 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: the one you got from sudo blkid /dev/sda2 | 06:13 |
| PickledEggs | InstallingUbuntu: you'll want a VNC server/client | 06:13 |
| PickledEggs | there are tons out there | 06:13 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: i mean replacing my uuid with yours :) | 06:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | PickledEggs Can it go Windows>Ubuntu? | 06:13 |
| PickledEggs | sure | 06:13 |
| PickledEggs | I like TigerVNC as a Windows client but there are others | 06:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | good | 06:13 |
| PickledEggs | If you'll be accessing it from outside your home network you'll want to find a guide on securing it | 06:14 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Save and quit? | 06:14 |
| PickledEggs | I usually SSH into my Ubuntu box and then VNC to localhost | 06:14 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Nah, just in-home | 06:14 |
| ObrienDave | remote access basically involves emulating mouse and keyboard and copying your display output | 06:14 |
| ZeekHuge | InstallingUbuntu: also, if you can just work on terminal, tmate can be usefull. | 06:14 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Still a linux newbie, so terminal scares me | 06:14 |
| ObrienDave | it will until you get used to it | 06:15 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I know ;P | 06:15 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: yes | 06:15 |
| InstallingUbuntu | but for convenience I just want to be able to vnc from my main pc | 06:15 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alright, that is all done. What next? | 06:16 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Installation complete! Restarting | 06:16 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, as you can see, there a LOT of helpful and knowledgeable people here :) | 06:17 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ooooh yes | 06:17 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: type sudo rm -r /boot/* | 06:17 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I might actually install an Irc client on this box | 06:17 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, the best part is if someone steers you wrong, someone else will catch it and correct it very quickly | 06:18 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, "No such file or directory" | 06:18 |
| PickledEggs | I use Smuxi for Ubuntu GUI IRC and Irssi for terminal IRC | 06:18 |
| InstallingUbuntu | :) | 06:18 |
| InstallingUbuntu | umm I seem to be stuck at a splash screen | 06:18 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: try ls -l /boot anything there? | 06:18 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, just wait, 1st install is slow | 06:19 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I hope | 06:19 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Nope, empty | 06:19 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, type sudo mount -a | 06:19 |
| InstallingUbuntu | the white dots aren't blinking anymore | 06:19 |
| EriC^^ | InstallingUbuntu: try pressing esc | 06:19 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, "mount point /boot/efi does not exist" | 06:19 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, i prefer to install updates until the desktop shows | 06:19 |
| InstallingUbuntu | nothing happens | 06:19 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: oh, right | 06:20 |
| ObrienDave | updates AFTER desktop shows | 06:20 |
| ObrienDave | give a few minutes | 06:20 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Still stuck... | 06:20 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok | 06:20 |
| ObrienDave | *it | 06:20 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, type sudo cp -a /boot.backup /boot | 06:20 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: then sudo mkdir /boot/efi and try sudo mount -a again | 06:21 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: 1 sec | 06:21 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, They all went through fine! | 06:21 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok np, i think the cp command wasn't right, it's ok though | 06:22 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: try sudo rm -r /boot/boot.backup | 06:22 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Alrighty! | 06:22 |
| EriC^^ | then sudo rsync -av /boot.backup/ /boot | 06:22 |
| EriC^^ | (the trailing "/" in /boot.backup/ is important) | 06:22 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, It all went through fine! :D | 06:23 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok :D | 06:23 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, still stuck? | 06:23 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yep | 06:23 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:23 |
| ObrienDave | grrrr | 06:23 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Restart? | 06:23 |
| ObrienDave | any network activity you can see? | 06:24 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, http://termbin.com/cyqs | 06:24 |
| InstallingUbuntu | The box is frozen, I cant see a thing | 06:24 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I could scan my network w/ my phone though | 06:24 |
| ZeekHuge | ctrl+alt+F2 ? | 06:25 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, first try "grub-install --recheck /dev/sda" | 06:25 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Copy that! | 06:25 |
| ZeekHuge | InstallingUbuntu: ^ | 06:25 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It's disconnected from the network | 06:25 |
| InstallingUbuntu | should I do Ctrl+alt+f2? | 06:25 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I forgot sudo XD | 06:26 |
| ZeekHuge | yep | 06:26 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, not sure what that does | 06:26 |
| ZeekHuge | that would open the terminal. | 06:26 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Nothing | 06:26 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It does nothing | 06:26 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Finished, no error reported | 06:27 |
| tempest1 | hello | 06:27 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Should I power off, power on? | 06:27 |
| ObrienDave | k. let's go ahead and power down. hold power key for 5 to 10 seconds if needed and reboot. you should get the GRUB screen | 06:27 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, try grub-install --target x86_64-efi --removable | 06:28 |
| ObrienDave | not sure on a pure Linux system | 06:28 |
| ZeekHuge | InstallingUbuntu: was it stuck on the Ubuntu screen or was it just a full black screen ? | 06:28 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ubuntu | 06:28 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, finished without error! :D | 06:29 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: cool, update-grub | 06:29 |
| InstallingUbuntu | rebooted, got some kind of message | 06:29 |
| InstallingUbuntu | No Caching mode page found | 06:29 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Bashing-om And it is done! | 06:29 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Assuming drive cache; write through | 06:30 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It lists that 3 times | 06:30 |
| InstallingUbuntu | and nothing else is happening | 06:30 |
| Bashing-om | Wjen EriC^^ says all done .. then verify what is set to boot ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' . | 06:30 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: ok, if you ever put the hdd on a uefi pc, the efi files are in efi/boot/bootx64.efi right now (it's the default hardcoded path for uefi files, usually ubuntu installs in efi/ubuntu/grubx64.efi) | 06:30 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, ok, i think we have a bad install | 06:30 |
| InstallingUbuntu | welp | 06:31 |
| InstallingUbuntu | dang | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: if the pc doesn't boot the hdd, then you can sometimes press a button when it first boots and choose the efi partition or browse for the efi file yourself | 06:31 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Understood! Thank you so much! I've been stuck on that issue for months on end. | 06:31 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I see, got it. :D | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: one more thing, i think adding an efi file for the default windows path would be helpful in case it also looks for that | 06:31 |
| InstallingUbuntu | it did give me a short thing at the beginning, F2 to go to bios | 06:31 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, How would I do that? | 06:31 |
| EriC^^ | sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot | 06:31 |
| InstallingUbuntu | so did it not overwrite everything? | 06:31 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: When EriC^^ says all done .. then verify what is set to boot ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' . | 06:32 |
| EriC^^ | then sudo cp -a /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi | 06:32 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23576629/ | 06:32 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, yes, it cleared out the drive 1st thing | 06:32 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Do I include "then"? | 06:32 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Ah, I think I got sometihng | 06:32 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: nope | 06:32 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I set the boot order to floppy drive first | 06:32 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Got it, let see what happens | 06:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Just restarted and went to boot select | 06:33 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I do not feel good about that ! EriC^^ see ?? | 06:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | selected my HD | 06:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Now I think i have grub | 06:33 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, ok, waiting | 06:33 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: what do you mean? | 06:33 |
| EriC^^ | about what? | 06:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I selected Ubuntu and now I'm waiting for something to happen | 06:33 |
| ObrienDave | ok, let it cook | 06:34 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: set to boot " /vmlinuz.old -> boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-51-generic " as old ??? | 06:34 |
| InstallingUbuntu | nothing yet... | 06:34 |
| EriC^^ | !info linux-generic xenial | 06:35 |
| ubottu | linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 4.4.0.51.54 (xenial), package size 1 kB, installed size 12 kB | 06:35 |
| ObrienDave | 1st boot is slow. give it time | 06:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | got it | 06:35 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: maybe it's the only kernel he has or something? | 06:36 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: what does ls -l /vmlinuz show? | 06:36 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ I can check | 06:36 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: tom-macbook O had hoped for something similar " /vmlinuz -> boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-103-generic " but the 4.4.0=51 kernel of-course . | 06:37 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Cannot acces vmlinuz: no such file or directory | 06:37 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Still nothing | 06:37 |
| ObrienDave | grrrr | 06:37 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: which ubuntu version is this? | 06:37 |
| tom-macbook | Should be 16.10? | 06:37 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: naw .. we also left the -49 and the booting 3.16.0-71 kernel . | 06:38 |
| EriC^^ | ok | 06:38 |
| tom-macbook | 16.04**** | 06:38 |
| tom-macbook | LTS | 06:38 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: why 3.16? | 06:38 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, ok, try installing from USB again, this time install 3rd party software only | 06:39 |
| InstallingUbuntu | dang | 06:39 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Long story .. 3 days hard work to get to this point .. full boot partition no head room .. and with utopic thrown into the mess . | 06:39 |
| ObrienDave | we'll do the updates AFTER the system boots | 06:39 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ It's been a great learning experience though | 06:40 |
| InstallingUbuntu | got it | 06:40 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: it won't boot with the xenial kernel? | 06:40 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ I've enjoyed it | 06:40 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: that's great :) | 06:40 |
| ObrienDave | 5 min break | 06:40 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Should I go try w/o installing>install or just straight install? | 06:41 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Unknown .. was in grub set to boot xenial kernel .. but STILL booted 3.16.0-71 . | 06:41 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: meddling with pc's is pretty fun at times | 06:42 |
| tom-macbook | Oh, EriC^^ , cp: could not creat the regular file, no such file or directory | 06:42 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Agreed | 06:42 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: aha, try ls -lR /boot/efi | nc termbin.com 9999 | 06:42 |
| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: nice, it's always nice to have a plot twist somewhere | 06:43 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 06:43 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, http://termbin.com/f0v3 | 06:43 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: type sudo mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot | 06:44 |
| Bashing-om | EriC^^: Let me tell ya ! // this has been a dilly that has been " interesting" to several of us . More than a few have had my backside on this one . | 06:45 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, EriC^^ This has actually been the most fun I've had in weeks. I don't know what I'll do after it XD | 06:46 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 06:46 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, It finished :) | 06:46 |
| Nikitaw99 | found out i was banned from #emacs | 06:46 |
| Nikitaw99 | nobody even told me *why* | 06:47 |
| EriC^^ | try sudo cp -a /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi | 06:47 |
| Nikitaw99 | i am suddenly experiencing hatred towards emacs now... | 06:47 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, That completed. | 06:47 |

| EriC^^ | Bashing-om: yeah | 06:55 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Bashing-om Should I be traditional and do sudo reboot? | 06:55 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: i'd say reboot it, if it doesn't boot, hold shift to get grub and boot an older kernel from advanced menu | 06:55 |
| EriC^^ | tom-macbook: do you have another means of getting online in case it doesn't pan out? | 06:55 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, Bashing-om Got it. Let's do it! | 06:56 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: I would be better satisfied ' sudo update-grub ' and look ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' that there are set 2 sets of symlinks ( that we can set manually !) . | 06:56 |
| tom-macbook | EriC^^, I'm on an old macbook right now using irc and ssh to get to this computer. | 06:56 |

| InstallingUbuntu | gets stuck every time | 07:08 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: That is an "option" choose wisely grasshopper . 16.10 is only supported for 9 months . | 07:08 |
| ObrienDave | grrrr | 07:08 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Well, i'd be more comfortable staying with that than I am staying on 15.whatever that my macbook is on | 07:09 |
| ObrienDave | tom-macbook, 16.04 is LTS 5 year support | 07:09 |
| tom-macbook | ObrienDave, So I'll probably bump up to that very soon | 07:10 |

| PickledEggs | you want the first one | 07:24 |
| PickledEggs | Ubuntu plays nice with Windows | 07:24 |

| PickledEggs | which is why I asked if you had it installed already, if you go the other direction Windows will wrestle the boot control away from Grub making it harder to boot into Ubuntu | 07:25 |
| Vysty | PickledEggs: I thought so. Now when I choose partitions, I have one for "Ubuntu" and one for "Files" (/dev/sda3). Is the "Files" the Windows partition? | 07:25 |

| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, dd bs=4m if=/location_of_iso of /dev/sdb? | 07:37 |
| InstallingUbuntu | glitchd what? | 07:37 |
| Bashing-om | tom-macbook: Use and test the -61 and -49 kernels . once sarisfied .. then remove the 3,16 kernel . next now if ya want is to edit /etc/default/grub and make that advisory go away iffen ya want . | 07:37 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, that's the DD command :) | 07:38 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, that would be the command and you would just fill in the infomation of the location you want it saved in and which sdb you usb is | 07:38 |
| tom-macbook | Bashing-om, Nah, I'm alright with the advisory hanging around. I can hide it if I need. | 07:38 |

| glitchd | is that even a real site? | 07:49 |
| InstallingUbuntu | It even says bittorrent.com on the ubuntu website | 07:49 |
| glitchd | oh wow.. | 07:49 |
| glitchd | did not know that | 07:49 |
| lenswipee | how to chmod and permissions in usr/local/bin/bee | 07:49 |
| glitchd | been using deluge for as long as i can remember | 07:49 |
| henry__ | I have an e-mail server which hangs up at random times. Nothing in logs, but I observed that it doesn't hang up if e-mail server is not running on this machine. Any suggestions? | 07:49 |
| InstallingUbuntu | they're all basically the same client, just some have ads and some dont | 07:50 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, what are you trying to change permissions of? | 07:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I think deluge is different though | 07:50 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, deluge has always been the best as far as im concerned | 07:50 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, a program | 07:50 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, ...obviously | 07:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok, I have the iso | 07:51 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, you asked... | 07:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | should I use rufus or unetbootin | 07:51 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/bee | 07:51 |
| ObrienDave | i like unetbootin | 07:51 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, yes i did.. | 07:51 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, you should use dd | 07:51 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, whats a for? | 07:51 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, dd bs=4m if=/location_of_iso of /dev/sdb? | 07:52 |
| InstallingUbuntu | glitchd how do I use DD in deluge on windows? | 07:52 |
| ObrienDave | glitchd, he's NOT on Linux | 07:52 |
| henry__ | anyone? | 07:52 |
| glitchd | oh gawd, im sorry i forgot | 07:52 |
| InstallingUbuntu | dd in unetbootin* | 07:52 |
| glitchd | my bad folks | 07:52 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, whats a in a+x | 07:52 |
| glitchd | no dd is a linux utility | 07:52 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I could do dd on rufus | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | its an option | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | otherwise it just installs normally | 07:53 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, fire up unetbootin, click disk image near the bottom, locate ISO and burn to USB | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | already up | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | wll do | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | will* | 07:53 |
| InstallingUbuntu | man, how long have we been at this? | 07:54 |
| InstallingUbuntu | 3 hours? | 07:54 |
| ObrienDave | you don't need the persistance part | 07:54 |
| ObrienDave | i lost track ;P | 07:54 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yeah I skipped persistance | 07:54 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, i dont remember off hand, but its what i use when making something executable | 07:54 |
| henry__ | do you reboot your servers every x months? | 07:55 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, it means add, a+x means add executable bit | 07:56 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, i believe.. | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | glitchd: nope | 07:56 |
| glitchd | Ben64, i just realize youre right, i just read what it actually means | 07:56 |
| Ben64 | it's near the beginning of "man chmod" :) | 07:56 |
| hudson | Hello guys, really having a bad day | 07:57 |
| glitchd | means all users | 07:57 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, means all users | 07:57 |
| glitchd | hudson, sry to hear that.. | 07:58 |
| hudson | I had ubuntu installed on my MacBook Pro, It has been stolen recently, will I be able to track it if the person connected it to online services? | 07:59 |
| hudson | glitchd: | 07:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Usb ready, going to try booting to it | 07:59 |
| glitchd | hudson, no idea, sry.. | 07:59 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, gl | 07:59 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, good luck! | 07:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I got a screen that says UNetbootin and some options | 08:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Default? | 08:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Install Ubuntu? | 08:00 |
| glitchd | yep | 08:00 |
| ObrienDave | yup | 08:00 |
| glitchd | if youre trying to install ubuntu | 08:00 |
| InstallingUbuntu | There's Install and Install Ubuntu | 08:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | which one do I pcik? | 08:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | pick* | 08:01 |
| ObrienDave | ubuntu | 08:01 |
| hudson | Thanks glitchd , guess am gonna have to try harder | 08:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok | 08:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | there's a blinking underscore at the bottom left | 08:02 |
| glitchd | hudson, good luck! | 08:02 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, just wait | 08:02 |
| InstallingUbuntu | now we're at choose a language | 08:02 |
| glitchd | then choose | 08:02 |
| ObrienDave | that's a plus | 08:02 |
| Vysty | I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 to dualboot with my Windows 10. I restarted the computer after installation and the computer boots with Win 10 without asking me what I want to boot with. Can anyone help me figure out where I messed up? | 08:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | "You can try to have your keyboard layout detected by pressing a series of keys..." | 08:03 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yes/no | 08:03 |
| glitchd | yes | 08:03 |
| ObrienDave | no, select US keyboard | 08:03 |
| glitchd | lol | 08:03 |
| Vysty | One side effect I'm noticing, though, is my Windows 10 has slowed down A LOT. | 08:03 |
| Jordan_U | hudson: If they navigate to gmail.com then you can see what ip addresses have logged into your account recently, but that's a long shot (and you may instead want to revoke your laptop's access to your gmail, which would prevent this trick from helping you but would also keep them out of your sensitive email). | 08:04 |
| theyesman | Vysty, installing ubuntu will have no performance hit on windows. none at all. | 08:04 |
| ObrienDave | Vysty, windows can NOT access the ext4 partition | 08:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | too late | 08:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | went through the setup | 08:04 |
| henry__ | ObrienDave: aren't there tools which make it possible? | 08:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | chose Intel:US | 08:04 |
| ObrienDave | as long as it works InstallingUbuntu | 08:04 |
| theyesman | it will not even touch your windows system. they are completely independent of each other. | 08:04 |
| Vysty | ObrienDave: So how do I access Ubuntu? | 08:05 |
| Vysty | ObrienDave: Whenever I have done this before, I've been able to select which operating system I want at Startup. | 08:05 |
| ObrienDave | henry__, i've heard of one utility, but don't remember its name | 08:05 |
| theyesman | Vysty, sounds like you haven't installed grub. | 08:05 |
| hudson | Thanks Jordan_U , I don't think they will be able to login to my Ubuntu, had a pretty good password | 08:05 |
| Vysty | theyesman: Well... can I fix that? | 08:06 |
| hudson | Is there a probability of ever finding it Jordan_U ? | 08:06 |
| InstallingUbuntu | There was a problem reading data from the CD-ROM. Please make sure it is in the drive. If retrying does not work, you should check the integrity of your CD-ROM. Failed to copy file from CD-ROM. Retry? | 08:06 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yes/no | 08:06 |
| ObrienDave | try | 08:06 |
| ObrienDave | don't think it will work though | 08:06 |
| henry__ | ObrienDave: it shouldn't be too much of a problem in any case. extX are open standards, so if one wants to, then should be able to access this filesystem from anything. But I understand that you aren't speaking from security point of view? | 08:06 |
| theyesman | probably have to boot back into live system and run a grub install on the hdd. | 08:06 |
| InstallingUbuntu | keeps sending me to the error | 08:06 |
| Vysty | theyesman: How do I do that? | 08:06 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I'll try "no" | 08:07 |
| glitchd | henry__, ObrienDave https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ | 08:07 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Installation step failed | 08:07 |
| InstallingUbuntu | how lovely | 08:07 |
| ObrienDave | grrrrrr | 08:07 |
| Jordan_U | hudson: Unless you had something like dynamic DNS or a system specifically designed for recovering your machine installed prior to it being stolen there's nothing in Ubuntu that I can think of that would help in this situation. | 08:07 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I ran into this problem trying to dual boot my laptop | 08:07 |
| === cloud_ is now known as cloud | ||
| Jordan_U | hudson: Call the police. | 08:07 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, try your rufus way again. this is crazy | 08:07 |
| InstallingUbuntu | the only way to fix it is to use DD | 08:07 |
| glitchd | installing i think u download dd for windows, but im not positive | 08:08 |
| InstallingUbuntu | rufus has an option for it | 08:09 |
| glitchd | i think im wrong about that.. | 08:09 |
| glitchd | try that or get unetbootin | 08:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I just did unetbootin | 08:09 |
| InstallingUbuntu | didnt work | 08:09 |
| ObrienDave | that's what he just used | 08:09 |
| glitchd | oh sry, i must not of been here to read that part | 08:10 |
| Vysty | Just installed Ubuntu 16.04 to dualboot with Windows and I appear to be having a problem with GRUB. Windows is starting automatically without asking me which OS I want to boot. Can anyone help me get GRUB working properly/ | 08:10 |
| InstallingUbuntu | isolinux.bin is missing or corrupt | 08:11 |
| ObrienDave | o m g | 08:11 |
| glitchd | ... | 08:11 |
| * hpeng | 08:12 | |
| ObrienDave | i'm beginning to suspect your USB is borked | 08:12 |
| ObrienDave | give it a format, and try using rufus. we had better luck that way | 08:12 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I mean how many times can you format it | 08:12 |
| ObrienDave | thousands | 08:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I've done this like 30 times | 08:13 |
| glitchd | upon thousands | 08:13 |
| glitchd | its flash memory | 08:13 |
| glitchd | i meant to be used that way | 08:13 |
| ObrienDave | it will eventually go bad, but not in this decade ;P | 08:13 |
| glitchd | what format are you formatting it to? | 08:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I dont have any other USB's to spare, though I don't think that's the problem | 08:14 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I could boot from my laptop just fine | 08:14 |
| InstallingUbuntu | its the old hardware | 08:14 |
| lenswipee | what does the a in a+x do? | 08:14 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, it can be too large. best to use a FAT32 formet | 08:14 |
| ObrienDave | *format | 08:14 |
| InstallingUbuntu | is 128GB too large? | 08:14 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: what glitchd told you 18 minutes ago | 08:15 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, makes a file executable | 08:15 |
| ObrienDave | yes, fat32 won't go that large. | 08:15 |
| ducasse | lenswipee: see top of 'man chmod' | 08:15 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, actually he said he didn't remener | 08:15 |
| InstallingUbuntu | so NTFS, UDF, and exFat are my only other options | 08:16 |
| lenswipee | Ben64, and it's the x part that makes it executable | 08:16 |
| Ben64 | lenswipee: Dec 03 2016 23:57:54 <glitchd>lenswipee, means all users | 08:16 |
| InstallingUbuntu | which one should I try | 08:16 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, you'll have to use a disk utility to create a partition on that USB that will suport fat32 | 08:16 |
| ObrienDave | 32GB or smaller | 08:16 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, right click computer and select manage, then disk management, the delete the partiiton, make a small 1 gb partition, then try rufus again. | 08:17 |
| ObrienDave | 4GB minimum | 08:17 |
| ObrienDave | just to be safe | 08:17 |
| glitchd | not a bad idea | 08:17 |
| ObrienDave | it only needs to be slightly larger than the ISO | 08:17 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Its asking me to format C:/ to continue and there's only a yes box so I guess I'll click that | 08:17 |
| glitchd | i suggested 1gb in the intrest of speed | 08:17 |
| FinalX | FAT32 can be 128GB and technically more, but Win2K can only format until 32GB and the real maximum safe size is 128GB | 08:17 |
| glitchd | no | 08:17 |
| FinalX | would highly recommend against it, though | 08:18 |
| InstallingUbuntu | gotcha | 08:18 |
| glitchd | lol format c will delete everything in windows. | 08:18 |
| InstallingUbuntu | i was joking | 08:18 |
| ObrienDave | NO NOT C:/ | 08:18 |
| ObrienDave | gawd | 08:18 |
| glitchd | FinalX, theres a small utility you can download to format larger partition to fat32 | 08:18 |
| glitchd | ObrienDave, lmao | 08:18 |
| ObrienDave | too tired for that ;P | 08:19 |
| glitchd | <ObrienDave> gawd | 08:19 |
| lenswipee | what does the a in a+x do? | 08:19 |
| glitchd | lololol | 08:19 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, how many times do we have to tell you?? | 08:19 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, once is enough | 08:19 |
| ObrienDave | lenswipee is now an official troll. NO FEEDING TROLLS | 08:19 |
| Vysty | Next one! I got my GRUB to work, and now when I restart my computer I'm greeted with a "Secure Boot Violation", which reads "Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup". I can select [OK] and load Ubuntu normally. Can anyone tell me what this is? | 08:19 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, scroll up and read it the other 2 times i have answered that question. | 08:19 |
| InstallingUbuntu | ok I have disk management open and my USB selected | 08:20 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, no answer yet | 08:20 |
| ObrienDave | delete the partition, make a fat32 partition of 4GB | 08:20 |
| kbob | 7quit | 08:20 |
| glitchd | Dec 03 2016 23:57:54 <glitchd> lenswipee, means all users | 08:20 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, Dec 03 2016 23:57:54 <glitchd> lenswipee, means all users | 08:20 |
| ObrienDave | lenswipee is now an official troll. NO FEEDING TROLLS | 08:20 |
| glitchd | yep pretty much | 08:21 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Formatting first | 08:21 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, thats the last answer you get from me. | 08:21 |
| lenswipee | glitchd, what you mean it means all users. there is only one user here. | 08:21 |
| glitchd | lenswipee, adding you to the ignore list. buhbye then. | 08:21 |
| ducasse | lenswipee: read the man page | 08:21 |
| ObrienDave | NO FEEDING TROLLS | 08:21 |
| lenswipee | ducasse, man page is hard to understand | 08:22 |
| Vysty | Did anyone see my last question? | 08:22 |
| Vysty | Or were you guys too busy feeding trolls? :D | 08:22 |
| InstallingUbuntu | There's no option to delete the partition on my USB | 08:22 |
| glitchd | Vysty, its because of secure boot | 08:22 |
| InstallingUbuntu | only to format it as NTFS or exFAT | 08:22 |
| lenswipee | ducasse, you know it's true | 08:22 |
| ObrienDave | you can try NTFS | 08:22 |
| Vysty | glitchd: What is secure boot? | 08:23 |
| FinalX | glitchd: like I said, it _can_ be bigger, just not _safely_ | 08:23 |
| glitchd | FinalX, right on | 08:23 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Its been NTFS this whole time | 08:23 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I think | 08:23 |
| glitchd | Vysty, its microsofts attempt to stop the use of ubuntu on their machines. | 08:23 |
| InstallingUbuntu | maybe not | 08:23 |
| glitchd | Vysty, *linux | 08:23 |
| Vysty | glitchd: Haha, go figure. Any way to disable it? | 08:23 |
| ObrienDave | i'm sure fat32 is best for burning ISO | 08:23 |
| glitchd | Vysty, i dont think windows will work with it disabled | 08:24 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Any way to partition the USB? | 08:24 |
| ducasse | Vysty: it's an uefi thing, look for a bios option to 'trust' the ubuntu bootloader | 08:24 |
| Vysty | glitchd: Or at least have it allow Ubuntu to pass without harassment? | 08:24 |
| ObrienDave | yes, through disk management | 08:24 |
| glitchd | Vysty, but im pretty sure there is a way to install a secureboot safe bootloader for linux | 08:24 |
| Vysty | ducasse: Gotcha. | 08:24 |
| ducasse | Vysty: you can switch it off, also | 08:25 |
| glitchd | Vysty, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 08:25 |
| Vysty | ducasse: Do you know how to do that? | 08:25 |
| ducasse | Vysty: depends on your bios | 08:26 |
| glitchd | Vysty, its in the bios | 08:26 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, just don't format C:/ you'll give me a heart attack ;P | 08:26 |
| glitchd | ObrienDave, im in tears.. | 08:26 |
| glitchd | ObrienDave, lol | 08:26 |
| Vysty | Alrighty then... which F-key options the BIOS again... | 08:26 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Already did that when I overwrote the garbage box | 08:26 |
| glitchd | Vysty, read your screen when booting, it will tell you what to press to reach the bios | 08:26 |
| InstallingUbuntu | "Install Ubuntu"="Uninstall Windows" | 08:26 |
| andy_____ | join andy | 08:27 |

| Vysty | Sweet! I'm in the BIOS. | 08:30 |
| glitchd | Vysty, awesome | 08:30 |
| Vysty | So I just disable Secure Boot? | 08:30 |
| ducasse | Vysty: either that, or trust the ubuntu bootloader | 08:31 |
| glitchd | Vysty, if you want to boot linux, yes. but you will not be able to boot windows until you re-enable it | 08:31 |
| Apachez | where in compizconfig do I set the settings for how marking things on the desktop is performed? Like if the rectangle should have a solid color or a dotted line? | 08:31 |
| ducasse | glitchd: sure he will | 08:31 |
| Vysty | ducasse: Mreh? Which one is it? | 08:31 |
| glitchd | Vysty, or yes if u see the option to trust the linux bootloader, then do that. | 08:31 |
| Vysty | I'll still be able to boot whatever I want from GRUB, right? | 08:31 |
| ducasse | Vysty: yes | 08:31 |
| glitchd | ducasse, when i disabled secureboot on my other laptop to boot linux, i would not let me boot windows until i re-enable it | 08:32 |
| glitchd | ducasse, thats the only reason i said that. | 08:32 |
| ducasse | glitchd: sounds strange, it should not matter | 08:32 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, how we doing? | 08:32 |
| InstallingUbuntu | trying again | 08:33 |
| ObrienDave | k | 08:33 |
| Vysty | Yup, I can choose to boot either one. | 08:33 |
| glitchd | ducasse, isnt it like one of the core new features of windows 10? | 08:33 |
| Vysty | Thanks! | 08:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Rufus in iso mode | 08:33 |
| Vysty | I'm dual-booted! Woo! | 08:33 |
| ObrienDave | ok, whatever works :) | 08:33 |
| InstallingUbuntu | do you think an even earlier version would work better? | 08:33 |
| ducasse | glitchd: not that i use windows, but secure boot is supposed to be optional (yet) | 08:33 |
| glitchd | ducasse, i agree, but i can only comment from my experience. | 08:34 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, meh, could be but an older version would not let you upgrade | 08:34 |
| InstallingUbuntu | really? | 08:34 |
| === JimD is now known as Rob_C | ||
| ObrienDave | ypu, at end-of-life, poof, no more support, no more upgrades | 08:35 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, do you have a install cd by chance? | 08:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | nope | 08:35 |
| glitchd | ok | 08:35 |
| ObrienDave | just the ISO | 08:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | and no, I don't have a cd burner | 08:35 |
| ducasse | glitchd: well, it clearly worked for him so let's drop the windows talk :) | 08:35 |
| glitchd | just checking | 08:35 |
| InstallingUbuntu | just the iso | 08:35 |
| glitchd | ducasse, much agreed=) | 08:36 |
| ObrienDave | windows is verboten ;p | 08:36 |
| Vysty | Okay, next weird one. Installing some software on my fresh Ubuntu OS, and I'm getting this when I try to install anything: "E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 08:37 |
| Vysty | What other process would be using it? | 08:37 |
| glitchd | Vysty, you cant have both the software center and synaptic open at the same time | 08:37 |
| ObrienDave | you have a package manager open, ubuntu store, synaptic, etc | 08:37 |
| glitchd | Vysty, and you cant install anything from command line with either of those open | 08:37 |
| glitchd | only 1 at a time | 08:38 |
| Vysty | None of those are open. I literally just booted Ubuntu and opened the terminl. | 08:38 |
| Vysty | terminal* | 08:38 |
| ycarene | Anyone getting random chats? | 08:38 |
| ObrienDave | ycarene, yes, been happening all night | 08:38 |
| ycarene | Lovely | 08:39 |
| InstallingUbuntu | You have been disconnected from the server | 08:39 |
| Vysty | Ah man the whole system is glitching out on me. | 08:39 |
| glitchd | Vysty, open terminal, type " ps -A | grep soft " | 08:39 |
| Vysty | Hold on. Rebooting. | 08:39 |
| ObrienDave | InstallingUbuntu, what server? | 08:39 |
| glitchd | Vysty, does it list the software center? | 08:39 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I was trying to make a joke :P | 08:39 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, ... | 08:40 |
| ObrienDave | gawd. i'm too tired for that ;P | 08:40 |
| InstallingUbuntu | same | 08:40 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I think its working | 08:40 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I got past the cd rom part | 08:40 |
| ObrienDave | glitchd will get a laugh out of it though ;P | 08:40 |
| glitchd | lol | 08:41 |
| Vysty | WTF? Am I getting the Ubuntu blue screen of death or something here? | 08:41 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Configuring network hardware | 08:41 |
| glitchd | you were right about that ObrienDave | 08:41 |
| ObrienDave | see? | 08:41 |
| InstallingUbuntu | we might just be in business | 08:41 |

| InstallingUbuntu | This is the only time I've gotten this far | 08:43 |
| ducasse | Vysty: what happened? | 08:43 |
| Vysty | ducasse: After I log into Ubuntu, the screen goes blue and I can do nothing. | 08:44 |
| ObrienDave | you have to find something to get a fat32 partition on that USB or buy a smaller one. | 08:44 |
| lapideviridi | Hey, I have some trouble removing the application rescuetime from my Ubuntu Mate. Neither apt-get remove nor dpkg -r finds the name of the package. I'm a bit bummed, since I have no idea of what to do when that fails me | 08:44 |
| glitchd | there is a windows program to do it | 08:44 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Network is probably not using DHCP Protocol | 08:44 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Continue | 08:44 |
| glitchd | fat32gui i think its called | 08:44 |
| Vysty | ducasse: Restarted and tried it again. Got the blue screen again. | 08:44 |
| InstallingUbuntu | is the only option | 08:44 |
| ducasse | Vysty: log in on a console and look for errors in ~/.xsession-errors | 08:45 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, just do it | 08:45 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Do not configure network at this time | 08:45 |

| InstallingUbuntu | lets try | 09:41 |
| === Tims_Tech_ is now known as Tims_Tech | ||
| InstallingUbuntu | im at grub | 09:42 |
| glitchd | it relatively to edit grub and add nomodeset | 09:42 |

| InstallingUbuntu | setparams 'Ubuntu, with Linux'... | 09:43 |
| glitchd | press e on the line that boots your os | 09:43 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I did | 09:43 |
| InstallingUbuntu | now theres code | 09:43 |
| InstallingUbuntu | or sometihn | 09:43 |
| glitchd | now find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= | 09:44 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I dont see it | 09:44 |
| ducasse | the line starts with the word linux | 09:44 |
| InstallingUbuntu | linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-32generic root=UUID= ... | 09:46 |
| InstallingUbuntu | there's no GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= | 09:46 |
| InstallingUbuntu | what do | 09:47 |
| ducasse | InstallingUbuntu: ignore the GRUB... stuff, just add the word nomodeset to the end of that line | 09:47 |
| InstallingUbuntu | the end looks like: quiet splash $vt_handoff nomodset | 09:48 |

| Jonii | Hey, if I have window hidden somehow, is there a trick to make it visible again? | 09:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I got a splash screen | 09:50 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Ubuntu 12.04 | 09:50 |
| Jonii | Like, Unity launcher shows window exists, but clicking launcher icon does nothing. It's outside my both screens | 09:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Jonii alt-tab, or alt-esc | 09:50 |
| glitchd | Jonii, hidden? | 09:50 |
| Jonii | Yeah, like, it's probably outside both my screens | 09:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I think its stuck | 09:51 |
| Jonii | Or it's just not showing up | 09:51 |
| InstallingUbuntu | how long should I wait before we guess that its frozen? | 09:52 |
| Jonii | I can still interact with the window but can't really see it... With terminal windows, clicking F11 maximizes it, so you can use that to get it back | 09:52 |
| Jonii | But some other windows can't really figure out how to get them back to me :p | 09:52 |
| glitchd | Jonii, cant you just close it and reopen it? it should spawn in the middle of your screen then | 09:53 |
| Jonii | glitchd: | 09:53 |
| Jonii | yes. But sometimes the lost windows have unsaved stuff so I don't want to close them | 09:54 |
| Jonii | So I'd want a way to get these lost windows back in case this happens when I can't afford to restart things | 09:54 |
| glitchd | Jonii, well i know that holding alt and clicking on the window lets you drag it, maybe that could help | 09:55 |
| glitchd | Jonii, or maybe set a shortcut to cascade the windows | 09:56 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, anything yet?.. | 09:56 |
| Jonii | that sounds something that could help | 09:56 |
| ducasse | InstallingUbuntu: no response yet? | 09:57 |
| InstallingUbuntu | froze | 09:57 |
| ducasse | InstallingUbuntu: what was on screen? | 09:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | tried restarting and adding nomodeset before the $ | 09:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Ubuntu 12.04 splash screen | 09:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | frozen | 09:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | kind of like right now | 09:58 |
| glitchd | before? | 09:58 |
| InstallingUbuntu | before and now | 09:58 |
| ducasse | InstallingUbuntu: you can try removing 'quiet splash' when you add nomodeset, that will give you boot messages so you can see what happens | 09:59 |
| glitchd | no, i mean you put nomodeset before the $ sign? | 09:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | before it was after $vt_handoff | 09:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | now I tried before | 09:59 |
| InstallingUbuntu | I'll try removing quiet splash | 10:00 |
| ducasse | also add nomodeset | 10:00 |
| glitchd | InstallingUbuntu, read this http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-do-i-set-nomodeset-after-ive-already-installed-ubuntu | 10:00 |

| Jonii | It's... Well, it's working poorly. But it's working | 10:01 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Starting to load fallback graphics devices [fail] | 10:01 |
| glitchd | well that better than not working, i suppose | 10:02 |
| InstallingUbuntu | everything else shows [OK] | 10:02 |
| glitchd | Jonii, how are windows being positioned of screen? | 10:02 |
| glitchd | off screen* | 10:02 |
| Jonii | glitchd: not really sure | 10:03 |
| glitchd | Jonii, did this just suddenly start to happen? | 10:03 |
| Jonii | I tweaked monitor settings so I had multiple windows disappear as a result of that | 10:03 |
| Jonii | But it's intermittent thing that keeps happening every now and then in my experience | 10:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | What do I do from here | 10:04 |
| glitchd | Jonii, reset the display config then | 10:04 |
| ducasse | InstallingUbuntu: nothing more happened? did it stop after some message? | 10:04 |
| InstallingUbuntu | yeah | 10:04 |
| glitchd | installing find the drivers section and see if you can install a working driver i guess | 10:05 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Starting load fallback graphics devices [fail] | 10:05 |

| Guest86497 | Hi, I just installed Handrake as snap package, but can't get access to my DVD drive, anyone has the solution??? | 10:33 |
| pseudonymous | Guest86497: No. But it sounds like a permissions problem. Oftentimes regular users can't access hardware peripherals. Also, why dont you just install handbrake via the regular software repos ? | 10:34 |
| Guest86497 | Because I have issue with mp4 format, can select it, only mkv | 10:35 |
| bazhang | Guest86497, have you asked in #snappy yet | 10:36 |
| bazhang | !info handbrake | 10:36 |
| ubottu | handbrake (source: handbrake): versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder (GTK+ GUI). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.10.5+ds1-2 (yakkety), package size 5456 kB, installed size 10520 kB (Only available for any-amd64; any-i386; powerpc) | 10:36 |
| pseudonymous | Guest86497: I'm not an ubuntu expert, so take this as conjecture. BUT, sounds like you just haven't gotten the relevant packages for mp4 encoding installed ? Most package systems have hard requirements (which are pulled in when a package is installed) and recommended lists of packages not needed but which would enhance the experience | 10:37 |

| parapan | hi all; I am running an ubuntu 16.04 LTS server edition on a machine with only 1 HDD (sda); I want to make a full back-up - image of the system and after that an easy restore; what do you recommend ? | 11:30 |
| MonkeyDust | !backup | parapan | 11:31 |
| ubottu | parapan: There are many ways to back your system up.

| MonkeyDust | parapan if you have no extra/external drive, and your HDD is large enough, you can make a backup partition | 11:32 |

| TheNavigat | I have a problem with my Skylalke Intel graphics, identical to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/761312/ubuntu-16-04-skylake-not-able-to-shutdown-and-restart | 13:01 |
| TheNavigat | s/Skylalke/Skylake | 13:01 |
| ViRuS007 | hello | 13:01 |
| TheNavigat | Apparently using nVidia fixes the problem but that consumes too much battery too fast | 13:02 |
| Wulf | I installed a kernel package manually (apt-get install ...) and now set it to automatically installed with apt-mark auto. Why does apt-get autormove not see it? | 13:02 |
| TheNavigat | Can anyone please help me with a fix for the Intel graphics problem, apart from just switching to nVidia? | 13:02 |
| bekks | Wulf: are you currently using that kernel? | 13:03 |
| Wulf | bekks: no | 13:03 |
| boddy | hello | 13:03 |
| bekks | Wulf: So why dont you just uninstall it then? | 13:03 |
| Wulf | bekks: I want to understand why it's not working | 13:03 |
| boddy | can i please ask for help i would like to patch a file in linux but ican't any of the online tutorials i found | 13:04 |
| bekks | boddy: why file do you want to patch, and why? | 13:04 |
| TheNavigat | Does anyone know what's the name of the package responsible for the Intel Graphics, for example? Maybe I can try installing the latest thing | 13:05 |
| ViRuS007 | what is best lib for crypt ruby source code ? | 13:08 |

| gwozt | hey guys i downloaded the latest disc image | 13:13 |
| blackflow | TheNavigat: there's nothing to install, the intel graphics driver is part of the kernel. | 13:14 |
| gwozt | and i was wondering how can i burn it to a usb | 13:14 |
| MonkeyDust | gwozt of what? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | !install | gwozt | 13:14 |
| ubottu | gwozt: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 13:14 |
| bekks | gwozt: you dont burn anything to USB, except you want to destroy your USB with fire. | 13:14 |
| gwozt | well, the problem is not that actually | 13:14 |
| ikonia | then what is the problem | 13:15 |
| ikonia | you asked "how do I burn" then got told the answer now you say "thats not the problem" | 13:15 |
| gwozt | ive been trying to install arch then i was screwed then i thought ok then lets install ubuntu since it is easier | 13:15 |
| gwozt | then i erased the disc | 13:15 |
| ikonia | gwozt: why don't you tell us the actual problem | 13:15 |
| TheNavigat | blackflow: So xserver-xorg-video-intel is irrelevant? | 13:16 |
| TheNavigat | Should I try a newer kernel? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | why ? | 13:16 |
| ikonia | why are you talking about changing kernels ??? | 13:16 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: I have a problem with my Intel Graphics | 13:16 |
| ikonia | ok - so focus on that | 13:16 |
| ikonia | not random changes | 13:16 |
| TheNavigat | Skylake fails to shutdown, sleep, or logout | 13:16 |
| gwozt | then i started doing all these weirdass stuff to get my usb working cuz it couldn't be seen by the laptop | 13:17 |
| TheNavigat | And there's no fix whatsoever available anywhere | 13:17 |
| clarkk | blackflow: ikonia OerHeks - it didn't work. I've simplified the code slightly https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e1a9a7d0a61409073831c7c728d04b98 | 13:17 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: ok, so why would you change kernels | 13:17 |
| bekks | TheNavigat: I dont think thats a skylake issue. | 13:17 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: Because the new kernels /might/ have a fixx | 13:17 |
| gwozt | ikonia, just one question actually can i install ubuntu using startup disc? | 13:17 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: so may standing on your head | 13:17 |
| TheNavigat | bekks: What do you think, then? It seems to happen only for Skylake Graphics | 13:17 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: you don't just swap random things out, more so when it's likley to make your machine unsuported | 13:17 |
| blackflow | TheNavigat: that package does not contain the actual driver, but Xorg's modules for the driver | 13:18 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: Not really, and it's not random. Please hear me out | 13:18 |
| ikonia | gwozt: "startup disc" ?? | 13:18 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: it is random | 13:18 |
| bekks | TheNavigat: So you changed graphics adapter in your some other Intel chipset, and tested it? | 13:18 |
| gwozt | i used startup disc creator | 13:18 |
| gwozt | to burn the iso to usb | 13:18 |
| ikonia | gwozt: read the link ubottu gave you and it gives you all the options and walks them through with you | 13:18 |
| TheNavigat | bekks: I use the exact same OS on another computer with a different Intel Graphics version and it works | 13:18 |
| TheNavigat | And the only case where this occurs is if people use Skylake | 13:19 |
| bekks | TheNavigat: and a totally different chipset, etc. | 13:19 |
| MonkeyDust | gwozt https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation | 13:19 |
| TheNavigat | bekks: Well, the only common thing between me and the guy who posted the thing on Ask Ubuntu is the graphics | 13:19 |
| TheNavigat | I'm using a different laptop | 13:19 |
| TheNavigat | A different brand, in fact | 13:19 |
| TheNavigat | and I have the exact same problem | 13:19 |
| TheNavigat | The only common thing is the Skylake Graphics | 13:19 |
| clarkk | I need to run a script when a user logs out of lightdm on Ubuntu 16.04, and also when the user shuts down. This is my attempt so far, but it doesn't run. https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e1a9a7d0a61409073831c7c728d04b98 | 13:20 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: Okay, hear me out, please. Doesn't the kernel contain the intel graphics drivers? | 13:21 |
| TheNavigat | My thought was to basically update the drivers | 13:21 |
| TheNavigat | That's all :) | 13:21 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: it contaings part of it | 13:21 |
| TheNavigat | Well, and then I should update xserver-xorg-video-intel, correct? | 13:22 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: the display services is made up of various things as is the power managment | 13:22 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: what component is the fault with ? | 13:22 |
| TheNavigat | The graphics driver | 13:22 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: are %100 sure | 13:22 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: Pretty much, yes | 13:22 |
| TheNavigat | Switching to nVidia fixes everything | 13:22 |
| bekks | TheNavigat: So you have an error message stating that? | 13:22 |
| blackflow | TheNavigat: the intel driver is part of the kernel, there's nothing do update/upgrade separately. There is, however, the "intel-microcode" package that might in theory fix such a bug in an updated version. | 13:23 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: how did you work that out ? | 13:23 |
| === AsymmetricalFace is now known as ClubGoinUp | ||
| ioria | clarkk, on 14.04 i sue this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Adding_System_Hooks | 13:23 |
| ioria | *use | 13:23 |
| TheNavigat | bekks: Unfortunately Ubuntu crashes before it gets a chance to print anything useful to the log, as far as I can understand. I might have missed something, too | 13:23 |
| blackflow | TheNavigat: to be precise, it doesn't "fix" anything, it just removes the cause of the problem by using different hardware :) | 13:23 |
| TheNavigat | blackflow: I'm confused. I have no idea what to do TBH. I just want to fix this... | 13:24 |
| TheNavigat | Yes, this is crappy because I don't have definitive log | 13:24 |
| TheNavigat | logs* | 13:24 |
| TheNavigat | I don't even know which package is causing the problem | 13:24 |
| TheNavigat | What I do know is that Ubuntu 16.04 worked before the updates, and that *some* package broke everything when I updated it | 13:24 |
| TheNavigat | Which one? I have absolutely no idea | 13:24 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: so you've gone from being certain - to "don't know" in the space of 90 seconds | 13:24 |
| bekks | TheNavigat: So having no clue and no logs - why are you sure its the graphics driver's fault? | 13:24 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: I suggest stopping what you're doing, and working with someone who can help you debug to actually debug it to the right component | 13:25 |
| ikonia | rather than just swapping random things out | 13:25 |
| blackflow | TheNavigat: personally, I don't think there's a fix except to patiently wait until one of the updates to the kernel and/or microcode fixes it. Note that skylake is very much new. Bugs will be aplenty. I've had issues with intel even on "older" models like broadwell, on 16.04, random freezes. Using nvidia instead. | 13:25 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: Can you please give me a break? It's not like I'm destroying the world. I'm just asking for help | 13:25 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: and I'm advising you | 13:25 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: I'm aware, I'm a FOSS dev and I know what you're talking about | 13:26 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: if you want I can let you blindly get on with breaking your system | 13:26 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: nonsense | 13:26 |
| TheNavigat | But it's not like I have anything to deal with | 13:26 |
| TheNavigat | FFS... | 13:26 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: if you knew what you where talking about you wouldn't be blindly swapping out packages | 13:26 |
| ikonia | and getting upset when people guide you | 13:26 |
| OerHeks | "<TheNavigat> Apparently using nVidia fixes the problem but that consumes too much battery too fast" | 13:26 |
| TheNavigat | blackflow: I guess... Thanks for the help :) | 13:27 |
| blackflow | ikonia: if you google for the log entry TheNavigat posted, you'd find out it's a problem with the intel driver | 13:27 |
| OerHeks | that makes me wonder, there is a switch in your systemsettings | 13:27 |
| TheNavigat | OerHeks: I'm not following | 13:27 |
| ikonia | blackflow: I've seen a reference to it, I also see a reference to the APM for certain makes using that chipset | 13:27 |
| TheNavigat | ikonia: I really know what you're talking about and I'm aware of how messed up this might seem to someone who's more experienced in Linux and such than I am, but I'm not hiding anything. If I could possibly obtain any logs, I would've used them | 13:28 |
| ikonia | TheNavigat: I don't think you're hiding anything at all | 13:28 |
| clarkk | ioria: that's what I'm using, isn't it? | 13:28 |
| TheNavigat | Either I'm not knowledgeable enough to obtain such logs, or they're hidden too well | 13:28 |
| TheNavigat | I built my hypothesis based on others reporting the exact same problem produced on different laptops with different chipsets and different structure | 13:29 |
| TheNavigat | With the only common thing being the Skylake graphics | 13:29 |
| TheNavigat | So yes, if you please, I kind of know what I | 13:29 |
| TheNavigat | what I'm doing * | 13:29 |
| bekks | And the same broken APM. :P | 13:29 |
| TheNavigat | At least relative to others having the same problem | 13:29 |
| TheNavigat | I'm not mad but it doesn't feel nice when instead of getting actual advice one would just keep being raided with personal attacks and stuff like "You don't even know what you're doing" | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 13:30 |
| TheNavigat | There's a hundred ways to phrase "nonsense" without being rude, you know :) | 13:31 |
| OerHeks | TheNavigat, you didn't install the nvidia drivers? | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | OverHeks: I did, yep | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | I have nVidia settings here, that's how I switch | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | And that's the only way it works | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | One thing though is, it worked earlier | 13:31 |
| OerHeks | TheNavigat, then you would have an app in systemsettings, prime? | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | I just did an upgrade and everything broke | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | OverHeks: ope | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | Nope * | 13:31 |
| TheNavigat | There's the NVIDIA X Server Settings, though | 13:32 |
| TheNavigat | Prime isn't in System Settings, nope | 13:32 |
| TheNavigat | blackflow: Is there anything on Ubuntu's bug tracking platform I can follow? | 13:33 |
| OerHeks | TheNavigat, correct, something like this http://i.stack.imgur.com/YZRF0.png | 13:33 |
| TheNavigat | I forgot its name, unfortunately :( | 13:33 |
| TheNavigat | I'd like to be able to follow the problem and progress on it | 13:33 |

| ioria | InstallingUbuntu, ok, so in grub, edit the kernel boot line and add ' text ' (without quote) after nomodeset | 17:38 |
| ioria | InstallingUbuntu, so, you'll have a 'text boot' | 17:38 |

| clarkk | spent another day on this lightdm "run script on log out" problem. See my code https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e1a9a7d0a61409073831c7c728d04b98 It seems that the script is run with id=root, but with the USER and HOME variables set to the current user. When it creates files, the files are owned by id. Is there any way to properly change the user to the current user. Even using sudo -Hnu myuser /usr/local/bin/testing-logoff-script2, the log | 17:43 |

| howarth | Ubuntu really needs to add those two Fedora 24 installer features | 17:53 |

| xan | puffinz any idea? | 17:54 |
| ioria | InstallingUbuntu, you can boot to recovery, enable networking, and try to update-upgrade-dist-upgrade | 17:54 |

| ioria | InstallingUbuntu, yes, but for me, i'd download lubuntu 14.04 | 17:55 |

| haricot | Hi, after much research, I am still unable run a a custom script of mine. Really, it is a file that simply runs a few commands. I have tried multiple areas of my system: init.d, rc.local, and crontab. None of these methods have worked for me. And of course, I can run my script manually, and it works fine. It also works under startup applications in gnome, but I do not mainly use gnome, I use i3. I really appreciate any help given. | 18:07 |
| ducasse | haricot: what exactly does it do? | 18:08 |
| haricot | ducasse: what does my script do? | 18:09 |
| ducasse | haricot: yes | 18:09 |
| zykotick9 | haricot: exec_always in .i3/config perhaps? | 18:09 |
| === Guest81398 is now known as whiteocean | ||
| haricot | zykotick9: I was thinking of trying that too, but haven't. Im fighting with my OCD aboutgetting it to work in /etc/init.d | 18:10 |
| ducasse | haricot: or ~/.xsessionrc, so it runs independent of environment. | 18:10 |
| haricot | ducasse: the script maps ctrl to my space bar | 18:10 |
| InstallingUbuntu | Is there a way I could connect my tower to my laptop with an ethernet cord and piggyback off the wifi? | 18:10 |
| ducasse | haricot: with setxkbmap? | 18:10 |
| === whiteocean is now known as blueocean | ||
| haricot | ducasse: no, xmodmap and xcape | 18:10 |
| InstallingUbuntu | And no. the ethernet cord is not long enough to reach the router | 18:11 |
| ducasse | haricot: then it will need access to an x server, so put it in ~/.xsessionrc. an init script will not work. | 18:11 |
| ioria | InstallingUbuntu, maybe easier, boot the livecd, and chroot | 18:12 |
| haricot | ducasse: thanks, ill give it a go. Why does it need an x server? | 18:12 |
| haricot | ducasse: because i3 is used? | 18:12 |
| ducasse | haricot: because of the 'x' in 'xmodmap'. it's an x tool. | 18:13 |
| haricot | duh... | 18:13 |
| haricot | hahaha | 18:13 |
| haricot | ducasse: thanks for that. | 18:13 |
| ducasse | haricot: np. | 18:13 |
| InstallingUbuntu | chroot? | 18:13 |

| JamesTc | I have a ssl question, but #openssl seems rather quiet, so i was wondering if it would be okay to ask it here ? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | JamesTc: probably not | 18:35 |
| ikonia | JamesTc: if it's something to do with openssl #openssl is the right place, if it's to do with ubuntus SSL build, here is fine | 18:35 |
| slavanap | I wonder how AudioCD is mounted. dd if=/dev/sr0 returns error. | 18:36 |
| zykotick9 | slavanap: audio cds aren't mounted | 18:36 |
| slavanap | zykotick9, how to dd them then? | 18:37 |
| zykotick9 | slavanap: ? not something i've tried to do... | 18:37 |
| slavanap | zykotick9, looks like copying .wav files is the only option | 18:38 |
| slavanap | *from AudioCD | 18:38 |
| MonkeyDust | slavanap havent followed... you can also copy audio files from cd, with the 'jack' command | 18:39 |
| ducasse | slavanap: you don't mount something you intend to read/write with dd | 18:39 |
| MonkeyDust | slavanap jack -k lets you keep the files in .wav format | 18:39 |
| slavanap | ducasse, whatever, AudioCD can't be read via /dev/sr0 not /dev/cdrom | 18:39 |
| slavanap | *nor | 18:39 |
| JamesTc | ikonia: Its properly more of a generic ssl question to be honest. If i generate a ssl csr file on ubuntu, register it online as a wildcard certificate with "lets say" rapidssl. Will i be able to use this certificate with both my ubuntu servers, windows iis servers and so on? (rapidssl has a few guides on how to generate for diferent services like apache/ iis mac server and so on. I would hate to end up spending 800ish usd o | 18:40 |
| JamesTc | being broken | 18:40 |
| ikonia | JamesTc: "yes" but for the record thats nothing to do with this channel, as you rightly suggested | 18:40 |
| slavanap | MonkeyDust, trying jack -k now. Will report if it's similar just copying files via File Manager. | 18:41 |
| JamesTc | ikonia: Thanks for helping out despite my request falling short of the channels topic. It will put my heart at ease. | 18:41 |

| evhTap | Just download the latest LTS | 18:49 |
| ibispi | ok | 18:49 |
| evhTap | I believe it's 16.04 | 18:49 |
| ibispi | hmm | 18:49 |
| ibispi | that's the latest version for ubuntu "long term support" | 18:50 |
| evhTap | Yup | 18:50 |
| ibispi | ok | 18:50 |
| evhTap | LTS | 18:50 |
| ibispi | yea | 18:50 |
| evhTap | That means that all apps released in the next five years will support it | 18:50 |
| evhTap | 5 years later, they'll release the next LTS | 18:51 |

| tgm4883 | evhTap: uh, not all apps released in the next 5 years will support 16.04 | 18:51 |
| slavanap | MonkeyDust, well `jack -k` doesn't add any comments to file, while copying through file manager adds `gvfs-cdda using libcdio 0.83 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu` as a comment to .wav file. | 18:51 |
| slavanap | MonkeyDust, Thanks for info about jack | 18:52 |

| slavanap | ioria, rip. I've already did that 2 ways :D | 18:53 |
| tgm4883 | evhTap: yea, I'm not even sure where you got that information | 18:53 |
| slavanap | ioria, jack -k or copying via filemanader. | 18:53 |
| evhTap | Wow I may have gotten false information | 18:53 |
| evhTap | Thanks for correcting me | 18:53 |
| ioria | slavanap, i use sound-juicer and set preferences to mp3 | 18:53 |
| evhTap | And sorry to the newbie for misleading him | 18:53 |
| ibispi | o; | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | evhTap: in fact, that's actually one of the biggest knocks, that it doesn't get updated apps for lots of things | 18:54 |
| slavanap | ioria, fyi, jack -k additionally converts to .ogg | 18:54 |
| ioria | slavanap, sound-juicer too | 18:54 |
| ibispi | i should still download that version, right? | 18:54 |
| tgm4883 | ibispi: yes you should | 18:54 |

| claude_ | Hello | 19:01 |
| yenclgj5nlw | Hi all! I had a kubuntu 16.04 which installation had failed at installing grub (may be middle of process). I had installed grub manually and rebooted into system. Surprizingly it worked, but som issues are. From the visible ones I can mention installer in the menu. Then I upgraded the packages, rebooted and tried release upgrade to 16.10 using do-release-upgrade -m desktop, it said that storage consumption will be increased by ~100 | 19:07 |
| yenclgj5nlw | …ad failed: there were lots of errors in process including python scripts crashes because of type casting errors and hanged on some openssl package. So I killed it manually (first depkg, second yakkety). Then I tried again but it said it is already upgraded. Then I tried apt update and apt upgrade. It said about lots of conflicts. Then I messed a bit with aptitude and forcely installed a package it adviced me to upgrade (iputils- | 19:07 |
| yenclgj5nlw | …t occupied storage will be increased by ~700 mib. During its installation it installed lot of packages including icons, fonts ,kernel, etc and even several times writed grub into mbr. Then I apt upgrade -f, it said that occupied storage will be increased by ~700 mib again. Should I done right? Or what should I do to correct? | 19:07 |
| yenclgj5nlw | *Have I done right? | 19:08 |
| [twisti] | i have a problem with a remote server not coming back up. i suspect it might be checking the HDDs for damage - its responding to pings, but not to ssh. is HDD checking something that happens between those two phases ? | 19:09 |
| ice9 | with nvidia FXAA enabled, i still get too much aliasing in the game, any idea? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | no | 19:10 |
| ikonia | thats normally the first thing it does, check the file system | 19:10 |
| [twisti] | before bringing up the network interface ? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | if it's on the network the file system checks have passed | 19:10 |
| [twisti] | ok | 19:10 |
| [twisti] | then i wonder wtf its doing, i hate not being able to see | 19:10 |
| ikonia | don't swear please, there is no need | 19:10 |
| [twisti] | if i boot into a rescue disc, is there any way to check whats going wrong with the boot ? | 19:10 |
| ikonia | [twisti]: view the logs | 19:11 |
| ikonia | don't know how you'll use the rescue disk though as it won't be on the network | 19:11 |
| Jordan_U | yenclgj5nlw: Sounds like it might be best to just install 16.10 from scratch. | 19:11 |
| [twisti] | im not really a linux guy, which logs would contain relevant information ? | 19:11 |
| ikonia | [twisti]: the syslog would be a start | 19:11 |
| [twisti] | our provider (hetzner) has a remote control interface that allows booting a system off a rescue disc, with the hdds mounted | 19:12 |
| [twisti] | so unless the boot issues are hardware related, that should work | 19:12 |
| [twisti] | its running LTS 12, so i wouldnt be totally opposed to just not fixing it in lieu of a new 16.10 LTS | 19:13 |
| ikonia | 16.10 is not lts | 19:13 |
| [twisti] | oh, weird | 19:14 |
| ikonia | not really | 19:14 |
| yenclgj5nlw | JordanU, I can't: my bios doesn't see my flash drive if there is syslinux (or what ubuntu uses) on it. I tried kexec, but either I do wrong or it is unkexecable. | 19:14 |
| [twisti] | i thought the odd year releases always made it to LTS | 19:14 |
| ikonia | 16.04 is | 19:14 |
| [twisti] | ah, my bad, i thought you were saying there was no 2016 LTS | 19:14 |
| [twisti] | you were objecting to the .10 | 19:15 |
| ducasse | [twisti]: lts releases are made every two years | 19:15 |
| yenclgj5nlw | One more question. I need gpu OpenCL and I have AMD pre-GCN videocard. How can I get it? | 19:16 |

| slavanap | CSGSJay, that's why Intel invented microcode patches that nobody can review or audit either. | 19:29 |

| yoshimitsu | hi, i deleted /usr/share/mime/mime.cache | 19:30 |
| yoshimitsu | is that bad? | 19:30 |
| yoshimitsu | do i need it? can it regenerate itself? | 19:31 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: why? You shouldn't be manually managing files outside of your home directory | 19:31 |
| yoshimitsu | well clamav complaimed about it | 19:32 |
| tgm4883 | ah, the use of AV strikes again | 19:32 |
| yoshimitsu | tgm4883: can i regenerate it somewhow? | 19:33 |

| [twisti] | i have managed to boot into my recovery, and before i do anything else, i would like to rerun grub - i deleted some old boot images the other day and i figure maybe i made a typo and deleted something i didnt mean to. can someone point me to the right direction of rerunning grub now that i have /boot mounted to /mnt/a ? ive never before ran grub manually and dont want it to mess up because of | 19:34 |
| [twisti] | the changed paths | 19:34 |
| yoshimitsu | tgm4883: installing nw | 19:34 |
| yoshimitsu | *now | 19:34 |
| zykotick9 | EriC^^: "rainbow" isn't even in colour, it's made up of a number of colours. ;) | 19:34 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: did you not already have it installed? | 19:35 |
| EriC^^ | zykotick9: no. way. :p | 19:35 |
| yoshimitsu | tgm4883: no | 19:35 |
| yoshimitsu | installed now | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: hmm, interesting | 19:35 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: which version of ubuntu is this? | 19:35 |
| yoshimitsu | 16.04 | 19:35 |
| yoshimitsu | anyway to get it back? | 19:36 |
| yoshimitsu | or make a new one? | 19:36 |
| EriC^^ | [twisti]: i suggest to chroot and reinstall the grub packages | 19:36 |
| yoshimitsu | mimme.cache that is | 19:36 |
| ducasse | yoshimitsu: try update-mime-database | 19:37 |
| mango_ | ioria: ha - thanks | 19:37 |
| ioria | mango_, no prob | 19:37 |
| yoshimitsu | k | 19:37 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: yea that's the command | 19:37 |
| tgm4883 | yoshimitsu: you dont need that other package installed, I asked if you already had it installed, not to install it | 19:38 |
| yoshimitsu | oh | 19:38 |
| yoshimitsu | shit | 19:38 |
| yoshimitsu | tgm4883: it hasn't regenerated mime.cache | 19:39 |
| yoshimitsu | i did update-mime-database | 19:40 |
| yoshimitsu | wait i didn't do the proper thing | 19:40 |

| chaene_ | hi. I have a strange problem when displaying images that I took with my canon power shot digital camera. Many programs (gwenview, firefox, chrome, gimp) display the colors wrong slightly too bright not colorful enough, however other programs (digikam, geeqie) display them correctly. I tried to google already but had no luck yet. | 19:47 |
| bekks | chaene_: Which file format do you use? | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U | chaene_: It's probably that some apps support color profiles while others do not. | 19:47 |
| chaene_ | one thing which I noticed when opening them with geeqie is that they are briefly displayed with the wrong colors and then they change. so I assume that it is some color profile issue. | 19:48 |
| ElinKattunge | Get out of here! | 19:48 |
| chaene_ | bekks: this are JPEGS generated by a canon powershot compact camera. | 19:48 |
| Chazb123[m] | Hello | 19:48 |
| sahi | does everything in /etc/init run on startup or is there a config that sets which ones run? | 19:49 |
| Chazb123[m] | That's gonna be mine someday | 19:49 |
| Chazb123[m] | https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/v1/download/matrix.org/sIobxMZkAPrKrwCoTZMCZMnS - ima_425c665.jpeg (1545KB) | 19:49 |
| ElinKattunge | sahi: systemctl disable <server> | 19:49 |
| ElinKattunge | *<service> | 19:49 |
| chaene_ | Jordan_U: I have a similar hunch but I have a hard time to believe that for example gimp would not support this | 19:49 |
| sahi | ElinKattunge: systemctl: command not found | 19:49 |
| ElinKattunge | .. | 19:49 |
| Chazb123[m] | Do push notifications work on this | 19:50 |
| ElinKattunge | update-init.rc | 19:50 |
| Jordan_U | Chazb123[m]: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 19:50 |
| Chazb123[m] | Sorry | 19:50 |
| Chazb123[m] | I'll leave | 19:50 |
| insidious | Anyone know the reason i can't detect my wifi driver on fresh install "Dell Latitude E6230" | 19:50 |
| ElinKattunge | sahi: Try update-rc.init | 19:50 |
| ElinKattunge | I meant... update-rc.d | 19:50 |
| tgm4883 | sahi: what version of Ubuntu | 19:51 |
| bekks | chaene_: jpegs do not contain any valuable metadata information like raw images. So its basically up to the applications used in how to display the jpeg image data. | 19:51 |
| [twisti] | i have an existing linux system on a partition, and i would like to install a fresh ubuntu to the pc, but i would prefer keeping the old files intact, that way i wont have to upload all the various backups. is it possible/sensible to just sort of move the entire hdds contents to /oldlinux and install the new one, or will that lead to problems ? im not planning on using the old one, i just want | 19:51 |
| [twisti] | the files around for easier restoration | 19:51 |
| ElinKattunge | I thought all modern versions of Ubuntu used systemd... | 19:51 |
| sahi | how can I tell if I'm using systemd or not? | 19:51 |
| chaene_ | bekks, Jordon_U: I also checked with exiftool there is no embedded color profile but it is specified in the exif that it is sRGB | 19:51 |
| tgm4883 | ElinKattunge: nope | 19:51 |
| ElinKattunge | sahi: Report to me uname -a | 19:51 |
| ElinKattunge | Also check LSB info | 19:52 |
| rory | sahi: if you dont have systemctl you're not using systemd. what version of ubuntu (check "cat /etc/issue.net") | 19:52 |
| tgm4883 | sahi: do 'lsb_release -r' | 19:52 |
| tgm4883 | uh, too many cooks | 19:52 |
| glitchd | so i think i just deleted the partition that had grub on it, how can i verify if grub is still working without rebooting? | 19:52 |
| sahi | I think systemctl broke because I have startup errors | 19:52 |
| insidious | Anyone know the reason i can't detect my wifi driver on fresh install "Dell Latitude E6230" | 19:52 |
| bekks | chaene_: exif data is irrelevant for jpeg images. exif data is just stored in the jpeg header, but it isnt used for displaying images. | 19:52 |
| sahi | "systemd-udevd[2259]: failed to execute '/bin/systemctl' '/bin/systemctl stop --no-block nvidia-persistenced': No such file or directory" | 19:52 |
| rory | oh what | 19:53 |
| rory | sahi: can you tell us what ubuntu version you have installed? | 19:53 |
| ElinKattunge | rory: /etc/issue.net is not the way to check which distro one is running | 19:53 |
| ElinKattunge | I myself take use of issue,net heavily on my servers | 19:53 |
| tgm4883 | sahi: do 'lsb_release -r' | 19:53 |
| rory | whatever just tell us the version lol | 19:53 |
| reisio | frealz | 19:53 |
| insidious | I just need s simple soultion to my problem. lol | 19:54 |
| ElinKattunge | Getting wifi to work is never a simple solution... | 19:54 |
| reisio | insidious: what's the device? | 19:54 |
| bekks | insidious: Which wifi chipset are you using? | 19:54 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: sure it is | 19:54 |
| reisio | bekks: I win I win | 19:54 |
| insidious | Anyone know the reason i can't detect my wifi driver on fresh install "Dell Latitude E6230" | 19:54 |
| bekks | reisio: :D | 19:54 |
| clarkk | lightdm runs the session-cleanup-script with root id, but with USER AND HOME set as the current user. I've tried to set it to session-cleanup-script=sudo -Hnu "$USER" /path/to/myscript, but it still runs as user. Can anyone explain why, and a possible workaround? Thanks | 19:55 |
| ElinKattunge | reisio: For me, and you, maybe! | 19:55 |
| ElinKattunge | But it is not hard to run into problems with a specific NIC | 19:55 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: it's almost always simple, it's just that the rare occasions it isn't suck a lot | 19:55 |
| insidious | Do i need to update | 19:55 |
| insidious | after install | 19:55 |
| insidious | for it get wifi working? | 19:55 |
| bekks | insidious: You need to answer our questions. | 19:55 |
| marshall | need a hand recovering an encrypted directory on an old partition using ecryptfs. | 19:55 |
| ElinKattunge | No, just install the firmware | 19:56 |
| insidious | bekks? | 19:56 |
| rory | insidious: Are you able to connect with a cable, and open the Drivers tab of the update program? | 19:56 |
| ElinKattunge | then check dmesg | grep <module> | 19:56 |
| bekks | insidious: Two people already asked you which chipset you are using. | 19:56 |
| ElinKattunge | You can get the loaded module from lspci, or if it's a USB adaptor then from lsusb | 19:56 |
| reisio | marshall: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/ecryptfs.html | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | marshall: http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html | 19:56 |
| ElinKattunge | Don't forget to specify verbose flags | 19:56 |
| insidious | its hard to read with the scroll here sorry | 19:56 |
| marshall | I've been through many of the steps before, but the computer was rebooted before I could extract the files I needed, and I lost the location of the file we created with ecryptfs | 19:56 |
| reisio | insidious: sudo lspci | grep -i net | 19:57 |
| insidious | im not on the os yet | 19:57 |
| marshall | Thanks, guys. I'll bookmark those links and check them out. Cheers! | 19:57 |
| insidious | Its broadcom | 19:57 |
| reisio | insidious: get on the OS, then we can do something | 19:58 |
| insidious | okay | 19:58 |
| ElinKattunge | insidious: If it's an modern Intel chipset then lspci/lsusb | grep e1000 | 19:58 |
| insidious | i just didnt didnt want to install it | 19:58 |
| insidious | if i couldnt get wifi on it | 19:58 |
| insidious | but ill install and hardwire and then come back it will be easier prob to help me | 19:58 |
| insidious | brb | 19:58 |
| ducasse | insidious: you don't need to install, just boot the live image | 20:00 |
| ElinKattunge | reisio: lspci | grep -i net seems like a better solution :) | 20:01 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: better solution than what? | 20:01 |
| ElinKattunge | The one I provided | 20:01 |
| ElinKattunge | to insidious | 20:01 |
| clarkk | lightdm runs the session-cleanup-script with an id of root, but with USER and HOME vars set as the current user. I've tried to set it to session-cleanup-script=sudo -Hnu "$USER" /path/to/myscript, but it still runs as root. Can anyone explain why, and a possible workaround? Thanks | 20:03 |
| reisio | clarkk: explain what you're trying to accomplish first | 20:04 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: Have you tried su -c "<command>" <user> | 20:04 |
| ElinKattunge | ? | 20:04 |
| ElinKattunge | That might help you | 20:04 |
| clarkk | reisio: this is my code so far https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e1a9a7d0a61409073831c7c728d04b98 (before it was changed to the sudo command) | 20:05 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: You using a multiseat setup of sorts? | 20:06 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: oh :) | 20:06 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: yes, I've tried it with su -c | 20:06 |
| reisio | clarkk: that doesn't tell me what you're trying to accomplish | 20:06 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: no, I'm not using multiseat | 20:06 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: Usually if a script requires another user other than root, su is used | 20:07 |
| ElinKattunge | not sudo | 20:07 |
| clarkk | reisio: I nee the file it creates to be owned by the current user | 20:07 |
| ElinKattunge | Plus, the root user can use su without being prompted for password. | 20:07 |
| reisio | clarkk: that doesn't tell me what you're trying to accomplish overall | 20:07 |
| glitchd | ducasse, how can i verify grub is still working without rebooting? | 20:08 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: chown <user>:<group> <file> | 20:08 |
| clarkk | reisio: this simple script does not work as I need it to. If I could get it to work, I'd be much farther forward | 20:08 |
| ElinKattunge | Also, please specify manpage | 20:08 |
| reisio | clarkk: that doesn't tell me what you're trying to accomplish overall | 20:08 |
| glitchd | reisio, , how can i verify grub is still working without rebooting? | 20:09 |
| clarkk | reisio: I just want to get this to work. This is what I want overall | 20:09 |
| ioria | clarkk, what does the script do ? | 20:09 |
| ElinKattunge | glitchd: You are writing grub files yourself, that's bad! | 20:09 |
| reisio | clarkk: nice talking with you | 20:09 |
| glitchd | ElinKattunge, lol no im not | 20:09 |
| clarkk | ioria: it just echos a string to a log file | 20:09 |
| reisio | glitchd: what is it you're afraid has changed? | 20:10 |
| ioria | clarkk, ok, and what's the problem ? | 20:10 |
| zykotick9 | glitchd: fyi, to see what grub setting you are currently booted with "cat /proc/cmdline" | 20:10 |
| clarkk | ioria: I need it to be created and owned by the current user, not a privilaged user | 20:10 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: basically you want every time you log in to log that you logged in? | 20:10 |
| glitchd | reisio, i had another linux distro installed on a seperate hard drive and i just formatted that hard drive, and i think that grub was installed on there, so im trying to verify that its still installed and working before i reboot. | 20:11 |
| ikonia | if you have deleted a partition that contained grub why are you checking it's "still working" surely it will be broken as you've just deleted it | 20:11 |
| reisio | glitchd: oh okay | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | glitchd: ahhh | 20:11 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: no, I want every time I log out to log a string | 20:11 |
| ioria | clarkk, the log file it's owned by who ? | 20:11 |
| reisio | glitchd: you can just go through this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 20:11 |
| clarkk | ioria: it gets created and owned by root, rather than the current user | 20:11 |
| ElinKattunge | glitchd: dpkg -l | grep grub | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | glitchd: reinstall grub from the one you WANT to be working! | 20:11 |
| zykotick9 | glitchd: whatever grub you installed most recently will be in the MBR | 20:12 |
| glitchd | i tried boot-repair, but it never gets past searching partitions | 20:12 |
| ikonia | don't use that | 20:12 |
| reisio | grub is unfortunately a fairly complex system with lots of separate configs and installations that all have to be correctly configured against one another | 20:12 |
| ikonia | manually apply grub from the distro you want to the mbr | 20:12 |
| reisio | so just go through the steps | 20:12 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: what's the overall functionality behind it? the meaning? | 20:12 |
| glitchd | ikonia, alrighty then | 20:12 |
| ioria | clarkk, in the script you call to write to the log , add chown $USER:$USER | 20:12 |
| reisio | glitchd: yes, use the link I gave you | 20:12 |
| EriC^^ | maybe there's another way somebody knows how to get it done | 20:12 |
| glitchd | reisio, mmk thank you | 20:13 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: ioria, so what you are saying is that this is expected behaviour? Can you explain why su -c doesn't work in this case? | 20:13 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: must be the way it parses the string | 20:14 |
| ElinKattunge | You are wanting to re-own the file after another user has created the log, I suggest you use chown | 20:14 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: try dropping the privileges in the script itself | 20:14 |
| ElinKattunge | Allow the user to do it's business, and finish it off with chown | 20:14 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: yes, and thank you for that solution. I will try it, but why is it working this way? | 20:14 |
| ioria | clarkk, lightdm is managed by root | 20:15 |
| ElinKattunge | or you could use chmod if you would really still like the current user to own the script, chmod allows you to change the perms ever soo slightly | 20:15 |
| ioria | clarkk, not by the user | 20:15 |
| clarkk | ioria: yes, but why can't root successfully use su? | 20:15 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: lightdm is run as root | 20:15 |
| ioria | clarkk, no need to use su | 20:15 |
| ElinKattunge | So that is what you wanted to do... | 20:15 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: must be the way it parses the string | 20:15 |
| ElinKattunge | To be honest, whatever it is your are doing, it sounds hackish | 20:16 |
| clarkk | ok, thanks for your help. I'll use chown | 20:17 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: Why are you relying on lightdm to record a log? | 20:17 |
| ElinKattunge | in such manner? | 20:17 |
| ikonia | seems the worst possible "logging" tool | 20:17 |
| ElinKattunge | Why not rely on a more sane choice such as a login cli tool? | 20:17 |
| ElinKattunge | lastlog already does the job | 20:17 |
| ElinKattunge | and you can use who and lastlog commands to get an output of whose logged into your system, whether they are active and when they last logged in. | 20:18 |
| clarkk | I need to umount some encfs filesystems, and log the output to confirm they were unmounted (to the same log file as was used when they were mounted by the user) | 20:18 |
| ikonia | log what output ? | 20:19 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: i dont think you can unmount them with root if the user mounted them | 20:19 |
| ikonia | sort of defaults the object of userspace, | 20:19 |
| ikonia | you can technically do it, but you'd have to go inside that users session | 20:19 |
| clarkk | "unmounted /path/to/encfs/fs1" | 20:19 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: correct, kind of | 20:19 |
| reisio | you're not the guy who was asking about ecryptfs? | 20:20 |
| clarkk | no | 20:20 |
| reisio | fusermount -u should work | 20:21 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: NEVER chown any files which are shipped with the lightdm package!!! | 20:21 |
| ElinKattunge | Only the files, you've created! | 20:21 |
| ikonia | reisio: don't you have to be "that" user for that to work ? | 20:21 |
| EriC^^ | yeah i stand corrected | 20:21 |
| reisio | fusermount -u mnt/path && pass || fail | 20:21 |
| ElinKattunge | You are at risk of breaking lightdm | 20:21 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: I wasn't thinking of doing that | 20:21 |
| ikonia | clarkk: this sounds like a bad solution to a problem to be honest | 20:21 |
| reisio | ikonia: by default, for sure | 20:21 |
| ikonia | clarkk: what is the actual key thing you're trying to achieve (remove all the fluff from the solution) | 20:22 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: In all honestly, you should just grep the lastlog on regular intervals | 20:22 |
| ElinKattunge | You could have crontab generate custom logs for you | 20:22 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: is it a security measure? | 20:22 |
| ElinKattunge | But I wouldn't recommend using lightdm to log a users activity | 20:22 |
| EriC^^ | what if the screen just locks, does the encfs stay mounted? | 20:23 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: logging out of the filesystems when the user logs off? Yes | 20:23 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: it stays mounted when the screen locks | 20:23 |
| ioria | clarkk, so you umount the encrypt fs manually ? | 20:23 |
| EriC^^ | maybe some inactivity timer | 20:24 |
| clarkk | ioria: I'm trying to automate umounting the filesystem when the user logs off or shuts down | 20:24 |
| ikonia | clarkk: wouldn't that automatically happen with autofs | 20:24 |
| ElinKattunge | That sounds redudant... | 20:24 |
| ioria | clarkk, i think already happens | 20:24 |
| clarkk | no, they stay mounted | 20:24 |
| ikonia | when the session closes it will close the usermounts | 20:24 |
| ikonia | clarkk: how are they being mounted exactly | 20:25 |
| ElinKattunge | When a system is powered down properly, the filesystems are safely umounted | 20:25 |
| ikonia | maybe thats the problem | 20:25 |
| ioria | clarkk, are you sure | 20:25 |
| ElinKattunge | ioria, ikonia, Hi hi again! :) | 20:26 |
| EriC^^ | when the pc shuts down they're gone i'd think | 20:26 |
| ElinKattunge | ioria, ikonia, I quit my day job to work for Ubuntu support (just kiddin) | 20:27 |
| EriC^^ | or else they'd get corrupted | 20:27 |
| ikonia | if it's a userspace mount and the session ends (user logs out) that mount will be removed | 20:27 |
| ioria | ElinKattunge, that's good | 20:27 |
| ikonia | hence why I'm interested in how they are being mounted | 20:27 |
| reisio | there aren't really rules, only defaults | 20:27 |
| ElinKattunge | ioria: Thing is... it gotta be bullshit cause I don't even work! | 20:28 |
| clarkk | they are mounted using encfs -S "$src-mnt-point" "$dst-mnt-point" <<< "$password" | 20:28 |
| ikonia | ElinKattunge: please don't swear | 20:28 |
| ioria | ElinKattunge, from removable devices ? | 20:28 |
| ioria | sorry | 20:28 |
| ikonia | clarkk: so that user is manually mounting them in their own userspace session | 20:28 |
| EriC^^ | the password is in cleartext? | 20:28 |
| EriC^^ | *facepalm* | 20:28 |
| ikonia | clarkk: so when the session shutsdown that should be removed | 20:28 |
| ioria | clarkk, from removable devices ? | 20:29 |
| clarkk | ikonia: correct, well, they are mounted automatically using ubuntu's startup apps | 20:29 |
| ioria | ahhahaahah | 20:29 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: Use proper password handling next time | 20:29 |
| clarkk | ikonia: yes | 20:29 |
| ikonia | clarkk: ok - but they are still userspace | 20:29 |
| ElinKattunge | that's hilarious | 20:29 |
| reisio | it's not hilarious, it's just non-ideal | 20:29 |
| EriC^^ | it's pretty hilarious | 20:29 |
| ElinKattunge | To me, I am laughing right now | 20:29 |
| ioria | clarkk, from Startup apps ? | 20:29 |
| reisio | nah, you still get encrypted files | 20:29 |
| clarkk | yes, ioria | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | i'm imagining a huge vault that's secured with a girl diary's lock or something | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | same idea | 20:30 |
| ioria | clarkk, not sure it's a good idea | 20:30 |
| reisio | well, most encryption is that way, even if your passwords aren't in plain text | 20:30 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: yeah, just like your ssh private keys | 20:30 |
| ElinKattunge | reisio: You get your encrypted files already, but what about the eavesdropper who cracked your WPA2 security | 20:30 |
| RNeville | I have a non booting HD in my computer , AMD Quad Core, Ubuntu 14.04, and it shows up using a long numerical designation , and not as hd1 or hd2 | 20:30 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: i password protect them | 20:30 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: if you're susceptible to eavesdroppers (and everyone is), then you're always susceptible to being cracked | 20:31 |
| RNeville | I also get error messages saying, drive is not mounted | 20:31 |
| ioria | clarkk, you may mount from cli, or in fstab | 20:31 |
| reisio | ElinKattunge: do you make it easier for them, yes | 20:31 |
| ikonia | clarkk: it looks like you can deal with this just via pam | 20:31 |
| ElinKattunge | reisio: Yes, everyone is, but I atleast take precaution and put a security practice first | 20:31 |
| ikonia | clarkk: looks like you're approaching it from the wrong view point | 20:31 |
| ikonia | clarkk: just found an example of it | 20:31 |
| ikonia | clarkk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/EncFS | 20:31 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: how does it actually help, in case of theft they can still get the files | 20:31 |
| ikonia | clarkk: note the warning "Warning: Note that automatic unmount will process even when there is another session. eg.: logout on VC can unmount encfs mounted by GDM session that is still active" | 20:31 |
| RNeville | I think this non booting drive is causing problems using Lightworks (NLE), any help appreciated | 20:32 |
| ikonia | clarkk: that sounds like exactly what you want | 20:32 |
| reisio | security is always about compromising valuable time vs minimal returns :p | 20:32 |
| Gallomimia | i myself can't seem to get my grub to unlock the FDE i have without going into recovery mode. | 20:32 |
| ElinKattunge | reisio: Not when you work with business infrastructure like I do and it is crucial that no data what so ever gets leaked! | 20:32 |
| reisio | the jump from a session password login to actually having an encrypted FS is an enormous gain, but almost every additional level of security after that is minimal | 20:32 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: the files stored on the encfs are themselves encrypted, by proprietry encryption | 20:32 |
| reisio | still, if you have time :D | 20:32 |
| EriC^^ | Gallomimia: did you add the proper line to /etc/default/grub? | 20:33 |
| Gallomimia | ehm. probably not. | 20:33 |
| EriC^^ | the one with =y | 20:33 |
| ElinKattunge | clarkk: But you scripted your password in clear text | 20:33 |
| reisio | clarkk: sounds redundant | 20:33 |
| Gallomimia | it worked before i updated something something | 20:33 |
| ElinKattunge | It doesn't matter if your data is encrypted, your password is not. | 20:33 |
| EriC^^ | weakest link kind of stuff | 20:34 |
| EriC^^ | if the pc gets stolen, somebody could bypass your login easily and all your files would be there unencrypted | 20:34 |
| Gallomimia | i think they made some kind of movie about why proprietary encryption doens't work that well | 20:34 |
| Gallomimia | something to do with a crypto called "enigma" | 20:35 |
| ElinKattunge | EriC^^: Agreed, which is what I was tryna explain to him but he doesn't listen | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: i think ioria was hinting at something nice | 20:35 |
| clarkk | it doesn't matter. You don't know what I'm protecting it from! | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | removable drive that has a script and password maybe | 20:35 |
| EriC^^ | you plug it in, files get decrypted | 20:36 |
| ikonia | clarkk: I'd try to approach this via pam | 20:36 |
| ikonia | clarkk: I think you'll get better results from that, and an easier logging approach too for confirmation | 20:36 |
| clarkk | I'm not trying to protect it from someone who steals my pc | 20:36 |
| reisio | there are only two things encryption protects from, and only one of those things is it affective against :p | 20:36 |
| reisio | but it's worth doing for that one | 20:36 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: it's hard to imagine how it would be useful | 20:37 |
| ElinKattunge | Eat drops | 20:37 |
| ElinKattunge | *Ear | 20:37 |
| ElinKattunge | Agreed | 20:38 |
| ElinKattunge | you got encrypted files | 20:38 |
| TomyWork | a while ago a nice person named nacc wanted to help me get my dell integrated bluetooth (usb id 413c:8143) working with ubuntu 14.04 (linux-lts-xenial kernel). it boiled down to the kernel module "btusb" not recognizing the device due to it not being listed in some array in the source code | 20:38 |
| ElinKattunge | but you neglect to use common sense when handling your passwds | 20:38 |
| reisio | TomyWork: neat | 20:38 |
| clarkk | I'm feeling that you're pretty judgemental, ElinKattunge. Sigh, I suppose I'll explain... | 20:39 |
| ElinKattunge | which automatically breaks the encryption | 20:39 |
| ikonia | clarkk: please don't | 20:39 |
| ikonia | clarkk: you have your answers | 20:39 |
| ElinKattunge | I am tryna tell you that what you are doing is completely unsafe | 20:39 |
| ElinKattunge | It is up to you what you do | 20:39 |
| reisio | clarkk: a single layer of encryption, virtually regardless of how you provide your password, will protect against the stolen PC scenario | 20:40 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: I am well aware of the risks here | 20:40 |
| ElinKattunge | I don't even care what you do, but I was just tryna tell you of the risk | 20:40 |
| ElinKattunge | okay | 20:40 |
| TomyWork | nacc made a patch, but it failed to build on launchpad multiple times, and i kinda lost contact. i have since managed to build it myself, booted into the kernel, modprobe'd btusb, but "bt-adapter -l" is still not listing it | 20:40 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: but you don't know what I'm trying to do, but you've already ridiculed me for it | 20:40 |
| ElinKattunge | But, you see? I don't just simply know who understands what around here | 20:40 |
| reisio | people who are actually interested in your data won't be defeated, so really the basest level of encryption will make almost everyone else not bother trying to defeat it | 20:40 |
| TomyWork | what else can i try to trigger device discovery or get some logs or something like that? | 20:40 |
| reisio | moreover, people who actually want your data would be smarter to take it without letting you know they have :p | 20:40 |
| clarkk | reisio: well said, and I completely | 20:41 |
| TomyWork | dmesg isnt very verbose. it just says "[ 491.496718] usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb" when i load the module | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: unless he's very unlucky and the guy knows linux, does a init=/bin/bash and changes his login pass and then he has all the files | 20:41 |
| reisio | anybody with the access to steal your computer also doesn't need to defeat your encryption, only your authentication | 20:41 |
| EriC^^ | that's what though? how many people actually use linux | 20:41 |
| === ignacio is now known as aaaaaaaaaaa | ||
| reisio | EriC^^: that is always something that can happen, with any type of encryption | 20:41 |
| reisio | physical access is everything | 20:42 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: not if he's decrypting it on login | 20:42 |
| clarkk | I'm using 1Password and storing it on a encfs filesystem on dropbox. Encfs already is very vulnerable on dropbox, due to the fact that dropbox has version history. 1Password already has its own encryption. I am just using encfs just to make it more of a pain in the ass if someone wants my passwords | 20:42 |
| reisio | if you have access to where someone authenticates, you have everything | 20:42 |
| reisio | EriC^^: yes, always | 20:42 |
| === aaaaaaaaaaa is now known as ignacio | ||
| === Opiniee is now known as Opinie | ||
| EriC^^ | reisio: if he manually enters the pass then they wouldnt get the data in cleartext if they login | 20:42 |
| EriC^^ | if they login, then the data is there | 20:43 |
| TomyWork | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1382490 that's the bug report and this is the fix nacc created: https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/lp1382490 | 20:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1382490 in linux (Ubuntu) "Broadcom Bluetooth [413c:8143] does not work at all" [Medium,Confirmed] | 20:43 |
| EriC^^ | if they use a live usb then it's a matter of noticing that he automounts it | 20:43 |
| reisio | encryption protecting data on an FS that has been taken works almost all the time; encryption protecting data on an FS an attacker has physical access to, that the user will ever return to, _can_ always be defeated | 20:43 |
| EriC^^ | and then using the cleartext password to decrypt it | 20:43 |
| HPW | hello | 20:44 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: yeah that's true | 20:44 |
| reisio | EriC^^: anyway, you're describing someone who simultaneously knows encryption is defeatable and cares about clarkk's data, which will never be the case :p | 20:44 |
| reisio | HPW: heyo | 20:44 |
| clarkk | EriC^^: again, I'm not trying to protect my files against someone with physical access to my machine | 20:44 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: sure it will, i find a laptop, i'm an a*** i take it to my friend who uses kali linux like a kool hax0r, he recently learned how to get into init=/bin/bash , and he has all the data now | 20:45 |
| reisio | EriC^^: no :) I'll tell you why | 20:46 |
| reisio | it's not that storing a password in plaintext isn't stupid, it is of course | 20:46 |
| billy__ | hello | 20:47 |
| reisio | it's because people with half a brain who know how to defeat authentication systems don't waste time stealing laptops :p | 20:47 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: well yeah that is usually the case | 20:47 |
| reisio | even if they wanted the data, it would be silly to steal the laptop & let everyone know you might have it | 20:47 |
| billy__ | geaks conversation ! | 20:47 |
| EriC^^ | reisio: though if you think about it, there are the teenagers | 20:47 |
| reisio | 99% of the time what encryption protects you against is: 1) the rare drug addict who tries looking at your files for 30 seconds before he sells your computer for $5's worht of drugs, and 2) government officials, who frequently are disallowed to legally defeat your authentication, instead having to rely on judicial coercion to get you to give up your password | 20:48 |
| reisio | s/worht/worth/ | 20:48 |
| reisio | and those are both worth using encryption over, for sure :) | 20:49 |
| reisio | but the returns of security layers added on top of that are going to be quite rare | 20:49 |
| ElinKattunge | Encryption is redundant in this case | 20:50 |
| EriC^^ | yeah, i still think it's pretty stupid | 20:50 |
| ElinKattunge | The only good reason for encryption is to prevent others from decyphering it | 20:50 |
| EriC^^ | cause it's basically just the login, exactly^ | 20:51 |
| ioria | clarkk, headache , right ? :þ | 20:51 |
| ElinKattunge | With a plain text password, it violates the purpose of encryption | 20:51 |
| reisio | thinking doesn't really factor into it, plain text passes are stupid :) | 20:51 |
| reisio | but lots of timesavers are stupid | 20:51 |
| reisio | you get out what you put in | 20:51 |
| EriC^^ | it really isn't doing much, if they can login, then they have his data, if they can't then they don't, in which case it didnt matter to use encryption anyways | 20:51 |
| TomyWork | "instead having to rely on judicial coercion to get you to give up your password" - which, afaik, is illegal under us case law | 20:52 |
| ElinKattunge | If you are gonna encrypt your data, then you also need to encrypt your credentials otherwise you've just transmitted them in pure crystal visibility | 20:52 |
| TomyWork | or at least it was a few years ago | 20:52 |
| EriC^^ | it helps a little, still if the data matters, then do it right | 20:52 |
| EriC^^ | otherwise then dont encrypt at all | 20:52 |
| clarkk | it is just some protection from someone who gets into my dropbox account, so they can't just brute force my main 1password password. It's a deterrent, nothing more | 20:53 |
| clarkk | ElinKattunge: you apparently don't understand how encfs works, if you think the credentials are transmitted anywhere | 20:55 |
| TomyWork | clarkk so you're using an encrypting file system on top of dropbox? | 20:56 |
| clarkk | TomyWork: yes | 20:57 |
| EriC^^ | why dont you use keepass ? | 20:57 |
| EriC^^ | if that's what you meant | 20:57 |
| TomyWork | clarkk and does it retransmit files in their entirety if you change the first bit? | 20:57 |
| EriC^^ | i feel like i'm pretty off on this one, haha | 20:57 |
| TomyWork | or worse, even? | 20:57 |
| clarkk | TomyWork: I don't think keepass supported all my platforms when I was looking for a pw solution | 20:59 |
| TomyWork | clarkk, EriC^^ mentioned keepass | 20:59 |
| clarkk | TomyWork: I'd have to look in to it, but at this point I don't have the time, and I'm happy with 1password | 21:00 |
| EriC^^ | /unalias EriC^^ | 21:00 |
| EriC^^ | TomyWork: should be fine now :D | 21:01 |
| clarkk | TomyWork: ok, but how is that relevant? | 21:01 |
| TomyWork | clarkk i was saying EriC^^ mentioned keepass, not me | 21:01 |
| TomyWork | you were highlighting the wrong person | 21:02 |
| clarkk | haha | 21:02 |
| clarkk | ok, apologies, EriC^^. Thanks for pointing that out :) | 21:02 |
| wyseguy | installed intel-microcode and rebooted, it started to crash the DE and says its currently runningin fallback mode. Anyone have any ideas? | 21:02 |
| EriC^^ | clarkk: no worries :) | 21:02 |
| Vysty | On Ubuntu 16.04 with the newest Gnome Shell, how do I adjust my number of Workspaces? | 21:02 |
| TomyWork | clarkk, but since we are on the topic, keepass supports multi-factor authentication, for example with a key file and a password. | 21:03 |
| TomyWork | so basically you can dump the kdbx into your dropbox and backup the key file locally | 21:03 |
| clarkk | sounds good | 21:04 |
| TomyWork | your family cant get into it cause you still have the password | 21:04 |
| TomyWork | dropbox cant bruteforce it cause they dont have your key file | 21:04 |
| TomyWork | and bruteforcing a strong key, good luck :) | 21:05 |

| superguest | Take GCC 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2, for example. | 21:21 |
| superguest | <nacc> superguest: 0ubuntu indicates the corresponding upstream has not been release by Debian | 21:22 |
| superguest | yet, "<nacc> (The last) 1 indicates it's the first such ubuntu patch to the debian release" | 21:23 |
| superguest | oops. I take a different example I came across | 21:23 |
| superguest | *Let's* | 21:23 |
| superguest | lol right when I need to find the right example to illustrate my question, I can't find it. | 21:26 |
| superguest | alright, I'll just ask it | 21:26 |
| superguest | is it safe to say when we have "0ubuntuX" | 21:26 |
| superguest | that 'X' will not be 1? | 21:27 |
| Jordan_U | superguest: No. | 21:29 |
| superguest | again, I am basing that from "<nacc> superguest: 0ubuntu indicates the corresponding upstream has not been release by Debian" | 21:29 |
| superguest | and "<nacc> (The last) 1 indicates it's the first such ubuntu patch to the debian release" | 21:29 |

| ninjapold | I'm having issues attaching Amazon EBS block devices to my Ubuntu 16.04 instance and I want to understand how disk attaching works in Ubuntu. It looks like AWS is saying it's a kernel/operating system issue rather than a VM/Xen issue. | 22:30 |
| ObrienDave | if you using a VM, ask in the channel for that VM system | 22:31 |
| ninjapold | It's Amazon Web Services | 22:32 |
| Ben64 | http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-using-volumes.html | 22:33 |
| ninjapold | Whatever VM system they use. Some kind of Xen systen I think. | 22:33 |
| puffinz | Can't wait to get back on the road again | 22:33 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, I've read that already, nothing helpful unfortunately :( | 22:34 |
| Ben64 | ninjapold: what do you mean, it's a step by step on how to use it | 22:34 |
| reisio | puffinz: why's that | 22:34 |
| === quark is now known as Guest55017 | ||
| puffinz | a tom jones song | 22:34 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, yeah but it gets stuck before it attaches to the instance. | 22:35 |
| tekeli-li | How to force reload of the file ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf for the current desktop session? | 22:35 |
| Ben64 | ninjapold: then you're doing it wrong, or it's amazon's fault | 22:36 |
| Bray90820 | Am I right that by default auto remove keeps 3 kernels? | 22:36 |
| reisio | tekeli-li: you can always do the mean way: stop the lxdesktop (or whatever) process/es & restart them | 22:36 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, not necessarily, if you read this, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/device_naming.html, it explains how the kernel will try to rename the devices depending on how you ask Amazon/Xen to attach it. | 22:37 |
| ninjapold | So I'm just wondering if it is trying to do some renaming, fails (clashing with already mounted device or something else) and then refuses to mount the device. | 22:38 |
| tekeli-li | reisio, How would that be better than relogging? | 22:38 |
| ninjapold | Problem is, I can't find any event in syslog, dmesg or otherwise. | 22:38 |
| Ben64 | yep, so either you're doing it wrong, or it's amazon's fault | 22:38 |
| reisio | tekeli-li: well it wouldn't require relogging | 22:39 |
| reisio | that can be better in many situations, and irrelevant in some | 22:39 |
| tekeli-li | reisio, I'll wait for my next restart. Thanks | 22:39 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, no reading material on how block devices are handled in 16.04? | 22:40 |
| Ben64 | it's connected, and it works, the end | 22:40 |
| ObrienDave | Bray90820, current plus the last one | 22:40 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, well, according to the page you linked, the kernel can/will rename the block device when you attach it. Is there at least some documentation around what it will rename and what it renames it to? | 22:41 |
| === slack1 is now known as sl4ck | ||
| Bray90820 | ObrienDave: Well when I ran it it didn't remove la bunch of old kernels so I had to purge them manually | 22:41 |
| Ben64 | it chooses the next available name | 22:41 |
| Ben64 | but it isn't being connected so again, either you're doing it wrong, or amazon is messing up | 22:41 |
| ObrienDave | Bray90820, depends on how old they are. if you keep them current, it will be more automatic | 22:42 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, you can specify the device name in AWS and it seemingly renames it to an equivalent name when it gets attached and the kernel takes over, so it's not just the next available name. | 22:43 |
| CSGSJay | Are any of you guys aware of this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5ggl7c/the_intel_management_engine_me_theres_a_separate/ | 22:43 |
| reisio | it has '/bitcoin/' in its path, so probably not, as I don't waste my time with such nonsense | 22:44 |
| Bray90820 | ObrienDave: Well I was booted to 4.4.0-51 and it had kernels as far back as 4.4.0-31 | 22:45 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, also I am not issuing the attach command manually, it's handled by Kubernetes which specifies a specific device name in the AWS API which is why it doesn't just pick the next name, it is expecting the kernel to accept the device name AWS passes to it. | 22:45 |
| Ben64 | ninjapold: so give it a different name to test your hypothesis | 22:47 |
| CSGSJay | reisio: it was just posted there, but it;s pretty important | 22:48 |
| CSGSJay | :p | 22:48 |
| reisio | it's hard to imagine something being important and related to bitcoin, you're saying it's unrelated to it? | 22:48 |
| CSGSJay | Yea it's unrelated | 22:49 |
| CSGSJay | It affects all of us | 22:49 |
| ObrienDave | CSGSJay, it's NOT an Ubuntu issue. move along | 22:50 |
| CSGSJay | It affects any OS | 22:50 |
| Bray90820 | ObrienDave: Is what I am experiencing normal there were like 5 or 6 different kernels from 4.4.0-31 to 4.4.0-51 | 22:50 |
| ObrienDave | Bray90820, yes, pretty normal | 22:50 |
| Bray90820 | Why didn't auto emove remove them? | 22:51 |
| Bray90820 | *Autoremove | 22:52 |
| ObrienDave | too far back in the release. iirc | 22:52 |
| reisio | CSGSJay: how does it affect us? | 22:52 |
| ObrienDave | no feeding trolls ;P | 22:52 |
| CSGSJay | YOur processor is equipped with a backdoor | 22:52 |
| CSGSJay | that's how it affects you :p | 22:52 |
| reisio | CSGSJay: backdoor to what | 22:53 |
| CSGSJay | The Intel Management Engine (ME): There's a "separate chip that no one is allowed to audit or examine" in your Intel computer, "exposing every recent Intel system to the worst rootkits imaginable", with "a TCP/IP server on your network interface" that can "bypass any firewall running on your system" | 22:53 |
| Bray90820 | ObrienDave: So it was to old for autoremove to detect them? | 22:53 |
| reisio | pretty sure anybody with physical access can examine whatever they please | 22:53 |
| CSGSJay | Same for AMD, ARM | 22:53 |
| reisio | CSGSJay: what do I care if a chip bypasses a firewall on my system? | 22:54 |
| ObrienDave | Bray90820, basically. not really sure how that works | 22:54 |
| Bray90820 | Alright | 22:54 |
| CSGSJay | reisio: If you don't care about privacy it's totally fine | 22:54 |
| CSGSJay | Move along :p | 22:54 |
| reisio | CSGSJay: I care about actual threats, not merely posited ones | 22:54 |
| reisio | a day doesn't go by when someone doesn't yell about how they imagine something that isn't an issue is | 22:55 |
| CSGSJay | k | 22:55 |
| reisio | I'd be genuinely interested in an explanation as to how it actually directly would affect an end user | 22:55 |
| CSGSJay | If the chinese reverse engineer it, we're doomed | 22:55 |
| CSGSJay | it will give them remote access to our computers | 22:56 |
| reisio | how would it do that? | 22:56 |
| CSGSJay | If I knew i'd tell you | 22:56 |
| bekks | CSGSJay: So you're not concerned about HPE ILO, Dell iDRAC, IBM IMM, et al? :P | 22:57 |
| bekks | And besides that: how is it related to Ubuntu? :) | 22:57 |
| CSGSJay | I don't know | 22:57 |
| reisio | bookmarked, anyway | 22:58 |
| CSGSJay | you can apparently neutralize it http://hardenedlinux.org/firmware/2016/11/17/neutralize_ME_firmware_on_sandybridge_and_ivybridge.html | 22:59 |
| ninjapold | Ben64, yeah I tried adding a disk with a different name before and it works. This time I'm leaving it untouched until I get a reply from AWS. Thanks for your help. | 23:00 |
| reisio | not sure it's really much worse than proprietary firmware ever has been | 23:01 |
| reisio | which is not to say that proprietary firmware hasn't always been very bad :p | 23:02 |

| Blakes5 | ObrienDave - have you used encfs? | 23:38 |
| ObrienDave | no | 23:38 |
| Bashing-om | arrenlex: It is intermittent in "some" postings .. If ya check " find all my posts " ya may see that you have posted . - we have discovered a few work-a-rounds when we are struck . | 23:38 |

| kidkid | guys.. I don't have manual grub.. see: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/yakkety/en/man8/grub.8.html but Fare No manual entry for grub | 23:43 |
| kidkid | sorry Fare for pinging no idea why I did that! | 23:43 |
| kidkid | I wanted to say that on my ubuntu I don't have that manual page. Hope it clears now!! | 23:44 |

| Fare | kidkid, I have no problem with grub, but I have trouble with initramfs | 23:44 |
| Blakes5 | Fare - when I said a little I wasn't being humble :) Sorry. I've run into a few problems that I've had to solve but nothing like what you're running into. | 23:44 |
| Fare | Blakes5, what is your cryptroot setup? | 23:44 |
| Fare | do you have a /etc/crypttab ? | 23:44 |
| arrenlex | Bashing-om: yes | 23:45 |
| ObrienDave | Blakes5, that's why I suggested it :) | 23:45 |
