| Ben64 | what is the file | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ercx2x | anyone know how I'm supposed to run a script using xdotool? I can't seem to just make a file with commands and type "xdotool filename" | 00:01 |
| Ben64 | ercx2x: man xdotool | 00:01 |
| ercx2x | that's what I'm reading | 00:03 |
| ercx2x | it says you can read commands from a file by doing "xdotool filename" | 00:04 |
| ercx2x | I simply get an unknown command if I type that in my terminal | 00:05 |
| Ben64 | ah ok i get what you're saying now | 00:05 |
| Ben64 | what is in your file | 00:06 |
| Ben64 | and/or what error exactly do you get from trying xdotool filename | 00:07 |
| ercx2x | I made some progress. I changed the permissions on the file to 777 and simply typed ./filename | 00:07 |
| ercx2x | the file has xdotool commands inside and it seems to be working | 00:07 |
| logan0405 | hi! anyone on ubuntu 16.10 can test if a bug is reproducible for them? turn on autohide->reveal location left side. then move mouse to the left a bunch of the top left next to the close button. then panel autohide won't work anymore and you need to alt tab | 00:08 |
| freechoice | anybody who has an experience use SiI 3114 RAID1 on ubuntu... can anybody help me? | 00:20 |
| ercx2x | crap, can you not do loops in xdotools? I dont see the word loop anywhere in their documentation | 00:20 |
| ercx2x | https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/xdotool.xhtml | 00:20 |
| Jordan_U | freechoice: The general recommendation is to disable FakeRAID and simply use mdraid instead. It is more protable, better supported, and likely more performant as well. | 00:25 |
| Jordan_U | s/protable/portable/ | 00:25 |
| freechoice | that means use softraid instead of the hardware? | 00:27 |
| ercx2x | nevermind my previous question i guess i can use sh files and those allow loops | 00:27 |
| freechoice | @Jordan_U , my raid function is not provided by the motherboard, there's a RAID card provide this function | 00:29 |
| engpy | Nope it is not config files at /home dir. There are several files and dirs from xchat-gnome in different dirs. I used following command in terminal: find / -name xchat-gnome -type d -exec rm -rf {} \; and getting erros: Premission denied, for each file and dir. | 00:29 |
| freechoice | I've installed opensuse couple of years before, but now i wanna chage that to ubuntu, and i find that SiI 3114 only provides Redhat/SuSE/United linux drivers | 00:31 |
| Ben64 | freechoice: it's likely in the kernel and will "just work" ... try a livecd to see | 00:33 |
| engpy | I will restart its system and see if this is a bug or I am really confused why I cant get rid of files :) | 00:33 |
| freechoice | @Ben64, thanks a lot, pal | 00:34 |
| engpy | As I predicted ubuntu thought these files were still there when I said find, so I couldn't remove them because they didn't exist, after restarting its system files are gone. Sory for bothering you with it. | 00:41 |
| freechoice | @ben64: livecd means the desktop image? | 00:42 |
| Ben64 | freechoice: yeah | 00:43 |

| === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya | ||
| Jordan_U | freechoice: Even as a separate card it's still FakeRAID. There is no CPU or RAM on the card performing RAID operations. All the RAID work is done on your CPU, so you might as well do it on the CPU in a better supported, portable, way (mdraid). | 00:49 |

| PickledEggs | TikityTik: yes, go to settings>keyboard>shortcuts | 01:40 |
| PickledEggs | TikityTik: make a new shortcut with the application you want to launch | 01:40 |
| TikityTik | PickledEggs: Well I set it to ctrl+shift+escape but it's not working | 01:40 |
| TikityTik | PickledEggs: does it work for you? | 01:40 |
| PickledEggs | TikityTik: then click Disabled and it will prompt for the key combo | 01:40 |
| TikityTik | PickledEggs: well i set it to ctrl+shift+esc but it still doesn't work | 01:41 |
| TikityTik | PickledEggs: does that combination work for you? | 01:42 |
| PickledEggs | TikityTik: let me try | 01:42 |
| PickledEggs | TikityTik: no, it doesn't seem to | 01:45 |
| TikityTik | PickledEggs: that's annoying, I wanted to get to get my task manager program bound to ctrl+shift+esc D: | 01:45 |
| TikityTik | is it a bug? | 01:46 |

| Orpheon | Hello, I am having trouble with a usb memory stick on 14.04. If I plug it in, it automounts fine and appears on everything including the file browser, however unmounting seems to be impossible. Unmounting from the file browser or Disks completely eliminates the device (the dev device as well), and trying to umount it manually returns no error and even a "umount has successfully unmounted sdc1" but it still shows up as mounted. Running the terminal comma | 01:50 |
| Orpheon | nd makes the "mounted" icon in the file browser blink, so I'm assuming it's being instantly remounted | 01:50 |
| tekeli-li | oh, i feel bad | 01:50 |

| jiffe | can I not use my init.d scripts with ub16.04? | 02:00 |
| freechoice | ubuntu can't install busybox-initramfs, any idea? | 02:00 |
| PickledEggs | freechoice: you getting errors? | 02:00 |
| jiffe | I'm getting systemd complaints | 02:00 |
| freechoice | yep | 02:01 |
| freechoice | error code 1 | 02:01 |
| freechoice | i think maybe i choose xfs filesystem, but restarted with ext4, the same error occurs | 02:02 |
| freechoice | mainboard is asus p5q/core 2.4G | 02:02 |
| jiffe | and if I need to convert this to systemd, I need to be able to convert start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --chroot /var/coins --exec $DAEMON -- -conf=$CONF -datadir=$DATA | 02:03 |
| freechoice | Asus P5Q/4G MEM/Intel Core 2.4G | 02:03 |
| jiffe | start-stop-daemon made things real easy, systemd just muddies everything up | 02:04 |
| PickledEggs | jiffe: what exactly are you getting from systemd? | 02:08 |
| jiffe | PickledEggs: systemd is intercepting my init.d script | 02:09 |

| Jordan_U | jiffe: Please pastebin an example command and its output that demonstrates the problem you're seeing. Please also pastebin your init scripts. | 02:12 |
| jiffe | so with systemd it sounds like chroot isn't necessary? | 02:12 |
| freechoice | i've tried many times, can anybody help me? | 02:13 |
| Bashing-om | jiffe: Maybe help here to convert : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers . | 02:13 |
| PickledEggs | freechoice: I've been trying to research it but not coming up with anything, sorry :( | 02:14 |
| freechoice | maybe this only appears on multi-byte lauguage system | 02:14 |
| Jordan_U | freechoice: 60dmraid failing suggests that you're still trying to use FakeRAID. Have you tried configuring your card for JBOD and using mdraid for the RAID1? | 02:16 |
| freechoice | It shows up when i choose Chinese language, I'll start over using english, will notice later | 02:16 |

| Richard_Cavell | Is virtualising becoming a standard method of running ubuntu these days? I want to run Ubuntu on a laptop but I'm worried about compatibility | 02:25 |
| Richard_Cavell | \ | 02:25 |
| wedgie | Richard_Cavell: i'm running ubuntu on my laptop fwiw | 02:25 |
| PickledEggs | Richard_Cavell: same | 02:26 |
| PickledEggs | Richard_Cavell: with no problems with compatibility at all | 02:26 |
| PickledEggs | Richard_Cavell: but that's not to say that there aren't advantages to running virtual environments over dual booting if you need multiple OSs | 02:26 |
| wedgie | Richard_Cavell: only complaint I have is that moving back and forthe from the docking station can cause issues (particularly if the machine is suspended in between) | 02:26 |
| wedgie | running on a ThinkPad T440s | 02:27 |
| wedgie | *forth | 02:27 |
| PickledEggs | :( That's not what I wanted to hear, I just got a t530 docking station in the mail yesterday that I was going to set up tonight | 02:27 |
| PickledEggs | what kind of issues? | 02:27 |
| Richard_Cavell | I'm inspired (sorry about the pun) by the Dell 15" Inspiron 5000 series | 02:28 |
| Richard_Cavell | I want to do coding and web browsing, that's all | 02:28 |
| wedgie | PickledEggs: i'm working on the docking station, suspend the laptop, bring it back up *off* of the docking station, suspend it again, put it back on the docking station, and turn it back on. When it comes back up it often won't display on the external monitors | 02:28 |
| Richard_Cavell | Loading up Facebook will be the most demanding thing I do on it | 02:28 |
| wedgie | seems like if i bring it up off of the docking station i have to reboot before it'll use the docking station right again. Not always, but often enough to be a problem | 02:29 |
| boristheanimal | hi who created ubuntu-mono it looks so nice (: | 02:32 |

| Jordan_U | nomic: This channel will forward users to #ubuntu-unregged if there is a flood of people trying to join quickly. It's not a prevention against auto-join.

It annoys me sometimes when I get hit by it as well, but I understand the need for it. | 02:33 |

| Geo | I want to install a new copy of Ubuntu on a blank 2nd HD on my existing server, then copy files from the first HD to the 2nd, power down, remove the 1st HD, then boot to the 2nd HD. Does that plan sound feasible? | 02:36 |
| wedgie | PickledEggs: and one thing i have found that may come in handy one day: if you ever bring it up on the docking station and it isn't displaying on the external monitors try pressing ctrl+alt+F2 (or anything besides F7) then going back to ctrl+alt+F7. Sometimes that jogs it loose for whatever reason. | 02:36 |
| xangua | Oh the font, not the icons :-P | 02:36 |
| Jordan_U | Geo: Sounds fine to me. | 02:37 |
| Geo | Cool- And how would I install to the 2nd HD w/o booting from install media? | 02:37 |
| PickledEggs | Geo: what os are you running now? | 02:37 |
| Geo | ubuntu | 02:37 |
| Jordan_U | Geo: Well, I would recommend that you do use Ubuntu's normal install media. There are other options, but it's probably not worth the hassle to use them. | 02:38 |
| Geo | Jordan_U: and that can be done w/o booting from the cd? | 02:39 |
| PickledEggs | you could just mount the iso | 02:39 |
| Geo | /how | 02:39 |
| Geo | ok | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | Geo: Easiest way would be to boot from USB. Second easiest would be to boot the minimal installer kernel and initramfs to perform a netinstall. | 02:40 |
| freechoice | really weired why shows error when select chinese... | 02:40 |
| Geo | the goal is not to boot from media | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | Geo: Why not? | 02:40 |
| Geo | mounting sounds right | 02:40 |
| Jordan_U | PickledEggs: Geo: There is no reasonable way to install Ubuntu that involves mounting the iso while booted from another distro. | 02:41 |
| PickledEggs | could you install it via KVM then convert the the qcow2 to a raw format? | 02:43 |

| metaljack34 | I just installed ubuntu 16.04, and my bluetooth adapter (Broadcom BCM2045B2) didn't work out of box. I checked additional drivers but it didn't find anything related. How can I install my bluetooth driver? | 02:47 |
| Geo | Looks like the way to do it is to partiation and basically manually set up most of the filesystem, then update with apt | 02:51 |
| Geo | *partition | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | PickledEggs: If you wanted to use kvm then I would recommend just passing the hard drive as a "raw" drive to qemu-kvm. | 02:51 |
| Geo | debootstrap | 02:53 |
| freechoice | does anyone can tell me how to select use seperate home partition during installation? | 02:53 |
| boristheanimal | xangua: what fonts do you use? :P | 02:53 |
| freechoice | i can't find such an option or don't know how to turn this option on | 02:53 |
| cfhowlett | freechoice, manual installation, install "something else" then set up your partitions | 02:54 |
| xangua | boristheanimal: Ubuntu 🙃 | 02:54 |
| PickledEggs | Jordan_U: interesting, I have no reason to do it, but curious if it would be possible like that. Seems like the easiest way | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | freechoice: I believe to do that you need to use the "something else" option and set the existing volume to have the mountpoint "/home/". Be sure that the check box for "format this volume" is *not* checked. | 02:54 |
| Jordan_U | PickledEggs: It would indeed work, with a step or two extra required if you are installing for UEFI. | 02:55 |
| freechoice | thanks,man,i'll try | 02:55 |
| freechoice | i can't find something else button... | 03:05 |
| freechoice | ;'( | 03:06 |
| freechoice | :'( | 03:06 |
| Jordan_U | freechoice: It's an option early on. If you already selected automatic partitioning then you may need to go back. | 03:07 |
| freechoice | before that it detect hardware and disks | 03:08 |
| freechoice | after that it's partition | 03:08 |
| freechoice | i can't find that in both manual and automatic | 03:10 |
| cfhowlett | freechoice, see where it asked How Do You Want to Install Ubuntu? that page. | 03:10 |
| cfhowlett | OR let ubuntu do all the partitioning and set up /home after you install | 03:10 |
| freechoice | it show use seperate home partition when i use chinese earlier | 03:10 |
| freechoice | let me try | 03:10 |
| cfhowlett | freechoice, strongly suggest you try ubuntu-kylin | 03:10 |
| cfhowlett | !kylin | freechoice | 03:11 |
| ubottu | freechoice: Ubuntu Kylin is a variant of Ubuntu that focuses on Chinese users. It is an official part of Ubuntu. For more information, see http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/ubuntukylin | 03:11 |
| freechoice | well,there's no problem when i use english | 03:11 |
| freechoice | i've use linux over 10 years, and i still can't find such an option.. | 03:11 |
| freechoice | :'( | 03:12 |
| cfhowlett | you can install in English and add Chinese support afterwards | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | freechoice: The manual partitioning is the "something else" option. | 03:12 |
| freechoice | ok,let me try | 03:12 |
| freechoice | finally i find that... | 03:22 |
| freechoice | :D,use exeprt mode, everything goes fine ... | 03:23 |
| Geo | Jordan_U, so if I have my original HD that is/was bootable, and install via media to the 2nd HD- will grub give me the choice of which HD to boot from upon a reboot, when both those disks are present on the system? | 03:24 |
| Bashing-om | Geo: Yes ,, in the primary system run 'sudo update-grub ' . | 03:25 |
| Geo | cool | 03:28 |
| Geo | and just to get a second opinion, although i'm sure Jordan_U is right... from what you know, Bashing-om, there's no easy or guided way to install to that 2nd disk while booted and running from the orginal primary? You need to boot from media? | 03:29 |

| snowkidind | I have something similar on my home network using appledouble I just wonder how to do that over public ip | 03:37 |
| Geo | snowkidind: mount it as a network drive (I think?), or many IDEs allow you to use ssh/scp to access remote files as well | 03:39 |

| Gorian | say, how would I go about running Ubuntu server in RAM, using a USB stick for storage? | 03:49 |
| cfhowlett | !persistence | Gorian, | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Gorian,: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence | 03:50 |
| Gorian | I guess. The live CD is HUGE though. Anyway I can make my own? | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | !mini | Gorian | 03:51 |
| ubottu | Gorian: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:51 |
| Gorian | also, it boots up into a GUI which is a waste | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | and of course, you'll want the ubuntu SERVER image, not the desktop | 03:51 |
| Gorian | but, the Ubuntu server image doesn't have a live cd option... | 03:51 |
| cfhowlett | install to a USB | 03:52 |
| Gorian | will it optimize for USB then? | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | Gorian, no, it will, technically, run in a USB -- but poorly as is to be expected | 03:52 |
| Gorian | yeah. | 03:53 |
| Gorian | I'm thinking more something like SmartOS or Alpine. Boot up, load the OS into memory, grab configurations from USB | 03:53 |
| Gorian | live cd is too bloated for that, I'm thinking to use as a hypervisor, not testing a PC | 03:53 |
| Gorian | neither SmartOS nor alpine have packages for OpenStack though | 03:54 |
| cfhowlett | Gorian, sounds like the type of discussion you should launch in the server channel | 03:55 |
| Gorian | I guess. It's usually pretty empty in there and I end up coming in here anyway when no one answers :p | 03:55 |
| Sachiru | OpenStack? | 03:56 |
| Gorian | yeah | 03:56 |
| Sachiru | Gorian, Have you taken a look at https://hub.docker.com/r/mikaturunen/alpine-openstack-tools/ | 03:57 |
| Sachiru | You can see how the dockerfile builds the openstack image | 03:58 |
| Gorian | doesn't look like anything is there - no description and last push was never... | 03:59 |
| Sachiru | Ah. | 03:59 |
| Sachiru | Hmm, let me check | 03:59 |
| Sachiru | To clarify, is this Alpine running on Openstack (as guest), or Alpine running Openstack (as host)? | 04:00 |
| Gorian | the latter | 04:01 |
| Gorian | I'm looking for a decent OS to use as a "hypervisor" if you will | 04:02 |
| === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo | ||
| Gorian | If I can boot something from USB and run in RAM, I can save all my hot-swap drive slots for storage instead | 04:02 |
| Gorian | and later move to doing the same thing but booting from a LUN instead | 04:03 |
| Sachiru | Hmm | 04:03 |
| Sachiru | SmartOS would be a better fit for you with regards to that | 04:04 |
| Gorian | SmartOS is pretty much ideal for that, but doesn't have any support for OpenStack | 04:04 |
| Sachiru | Alpine's virtualization (VM, not containers) is still a bit fiddly. Performant, but fiddly. | 04:04 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | I have 3 SSDs of identical size | 05:01 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | I want to install ubuntu on btrfs on all three in RAID 0 | 05:02 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | how can I do this? | 05:02 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | as far as I understood, I need to have one drive with the /boot partition and the rest as ext4 | 05:03 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | then I have to install ubuntu there | 05:03 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | and then convert ext4 to btrfs | 05:03 |
| cfhowlett | !btrfs > MDTech-us_MAN | 05:03 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | and I'd prefer to be able to hibernate | 05:06 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | should I just create a swap file later on? | 05:09 |
| kingfish | Yes | 05:09 |
| kingfish | Different question: apt-get update is stuck at 0% for [waiting for headers]. Clean doesn't fix it, and all the mirrors are correct | 05:10 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | kingfish: how big should it be? | 05:10 |
| kingfish | IDK. I'd just guess and check it till it worked | 05:11 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | lol | 05:11 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | thx | 05:11 |

| freechoice | when i use xfs i can't install grub, what about jfs? | 06:31 |
| OerHeks | is jfs a filesystem ? | 06:32 |
| freechoice | yep | 06:32 |
| freechoice | it's an IBM high performance file system | 06:33 |
| freechoice | IBM's high-performance journaling filesystem. JFS is a light, fast and reliable B+tree-based filesystem with good performance in various conditions. | 06:33 |
| freechoice | let me try jfs,if it can't install grub again, only ext4 could be use | 06:35 |
| OerHeks | freechoice, i have no clue, just curious | 06:36 |
| freechoice | there's an question, I haven't find reiserFS when i trying to partition my disk | 06:36 |
| freechoice | why ubuntu doesn't support that filesystem | 06:36 |
| OerHeks | fancy filesystems, heh | 06:36 |
| freechoice | fancy means? | 06:38 |
| Flaz | OerHeks: One more thing, I need a command that displays in the terminal all the *ppa packages installed | 06:39 |
| freechoice | complicated? | 06:39 |
| OerHeks | Flaz, hard to do, synaptic has some nice filters to show ppa packages and origin | 06:39 |
| Flaz | OerHeks: ok Thank | 06:40 |
| OerHeks | freechoice, reiserfs is controversial, but you know that already | 06:41 |

| freechoice | grub-install :error: will not proceed with blocklists | 07:50 |
| freechoice | how can i fix this | 07:50 |
| OerHeks | don't forget to mention you use xfs/reiserfs | 07:50 |
| freechoice | this time i use ext4 | 07:51 |

| freechoice | i ran grub-install /dev/md126, not the system already booted | 07:57 |
| freechoice | really weired | 07:57 |
| acicula | hmm why are you running grub-install though, normally just installing the grub package should setup grub for you | 07:57 |
| peeyush | how to duel boot ubuntu with windows (uefi ) | 07:58 |
| freechoice | but it tells me everything goes fine | 07:58 |

| ikevin | peeyush, you just need to install ubuntu in uefi mode | 07:58 |
| acicula | !uefi | 07:58 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 07:58 |

| freechoice | i've tried many times , till i do it myself, and i almost give up | 07:59 |
| OerHeks | grub on softwareraid ?? | 07:59 |
| freechoice | yep | 07:59 |
| acicula | heu, how does that work | 07:59 |
| peeyush | ikevin, i tried that. i am able to live boot, but unable to install it. | 08:00 |
| ikevin | peeyush, do you have an error while installing? | 08:00 |
| freechoice | but the system load seems unnormal | 08:02 |
| peeyush | ikevin, yes i down't remember the error exactly but it i think it says the iso has errors. | 08:02 |
| ikevin | peeyush, verify it with the m5d sum | 08:03 |
| peeyush | i redownloaded the iso , and still the error persists | 08:03 |
| freechoice | i haven't run anything, the system load could be 2.75 | 08:03 |
| peeyush | ok il try that | 08:03 |
| freechoice | that's abs wrong | 08:03 |
| acicula | there is a test media option in the cd's boot menu, or verify installation media, something to that effect | 08:03 |
| OerHeks | freechoice, 'freechoice> when i boot the system, only a cursor shows,' sounds like you need nomodeset | 08:03 |
| OerHeks | !nomodeset | 08:03 |
| ubottu | 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 | 08:03 |
| freechoice | nomodset means what? | 08:04 |
| hateball | freechoice: high load can be due to disk i/o also, is your HDD alright? | 08:04 |

| ikevin | freelancerbob, sudo password | 08:13 |
| freelancerbob | is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. | 08:13 |

| ubottu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:14 |

| DK2 | what is better to do a quicl ful | 08:20 |
| DK2 | quick full backup : rsync oder dd in rescue? | 08:21 |
| DK2 | any disadvantages when doing a fullback via rsync? | 08:21 |
| acicula | DK2: rsync copies and checks, dd just copies blocks. | 08:25 |
| acicula | and makes a raw copy of whatever you tell it to copy | 08:25 |
| acicula | so very different beasts | 08:25 |
| acicula | what are you trying to achieve exactly? | 08:26 |
| DK2 | i need to clone a system to anothere | 08:26 |
| DK2 | another* | 08:26 |
| DK2 | clone a system to another server i mean | 08:26 |
| SwedeMike | DK2: I typically just dd one drive to another if the new drive is larger than the older one. | 08:27 |
| SwedeMike | DK2: boot off of usb stick (live), dd old drive to new drive, then jsut take new drive and use it | 08:27 |
| DK2 | ye - but rsync is faster in this case i guess? | 08:27 |
| OerHeks | dd is faster. | 08:28 |
| SwedeMike | DK2: could be, could not be, depends. dd also brings you boot blocks and partition tables over, rsync doesn't do that. | 08:28 |
| OerHeks | 1 sequential file or tons of small files.. | 08:28 |
| SwedeMike | OerHeks: but if the drive is 5% full, rsync is going to be faster. | 08:28 |
| SwedeMike | so as always "depends" | 08:29 |
| DK2 | the problem with the partition table is, i also need to migrate it from a software raid to a hw raid one | 08:29 |
| OerHeks | I don't agree, one does not dd to a partition like rsync, but to empty space | 08:30 |
| acicula | i think he meant that dd will copy over used and unused space if you tell it to copy a raw drive, rsync will just copy data | 08:32 |
| DK2 | ya - i still think the problem factor is the software raid | 08:32 |
| DK2 | so rsync should be better, as i need to prebuild the system | 08:33 |
| acicula | DK2: how is the raid setup? | 08:33 |
| acicula | DK2: rsync is the safe bet in this case | 08:33 |

| ikevin | if you only have 1 disk and no dual boot, it's often /dev/sda1 | 09:17 |

| ikevin | samgoody, all files in user home need to be owned by user | 09:40 |

| blackflow | How do I designate my own bind9 service as system resolver, in 16.10? Setting it as DNS server in the network connection, and setting the connection to DHCP (Address only) does not do it. | 09:48 |
| blackflow | systemd-resolved is broken. many domains can't be resolved by it, happily resolved by bind. | 09:48 |
| blackflow | adding my bind server to DNS= entry of systemd/resolved.conf helps in a way, but then the "search" domain in resolv.conf is not considered | 09:49 |
| _Rarity | In the user $HOME directory, I have a ".local" folder, using 29G. Since this is data used by programs, how do I safely clean-up this directory? | 09:50 |

| ikevin | blackflow, how did you setup your network? using network-manager or /etc/network/interfaces ? | 09:51 |
| blackflow | ikevin: network manager | 09:51 |
| ikevin | _Rarity, some tools like thunderbird or browser use a lot of space, clean the cache from software | 09:51 |
| blackflow | ikevin: in 16.04 adding my DNS to the "DNS" field of the network connection worked perfectly. Not any more in 16.10 | 09:52 |
| ikevin | blackflow, i'm not currently under ubuntu, so in network-manager gui you can specify your dns server | 09:52 |
| ikevin | oh ! | 09:52 |

| _Rarity | ikevin: Ok, I will look into that. I assume the programs should run fine after that? | 09:54 |
| blackflow | ikevin: no, only 127.0.1.1 (systemd-resolved) is in resolv.conf. I tried even that route, as resolved.conf can specify the DNS server to query. It then DOES resolve through my Bind, but then "search" entries of resolv.conf are not working...... | 09:54 |
| ultrav1olet | ikevin: I can install Ubuntu in a VM but that's freaking inconvenient and time consuming | 09:55 |
| blackflow | ikevin: of course if I put my own nameserver there it'll get randomly overwritten | 09:55 |
| ikevin | _Rarity, it depend of program | 09:55 |
| ikevin | blackflow, normaly, system use entry in /etc/resolv.conf | 09:56 |
| ikevin | you can see what is used with dig | 09:56 |
| ikevin | like in my case: dig google.com, and i can see: ;; SERVER: 127.0.1.1#53(127.0.1.1) | 09:56 |
| blackflow | ikevin: I know all that. :) | 09:58 |
| OerHeks | ultrav1olet, get the package from launchpad? really odd to ask for tar -cf /etc/apt | 09:58 |
| blackflow | ikevin: I wouldn't be cryin' here if I didn't. that's the thing. things that normally work are now thoroughly broken in 16.10. | 09:58 |
| aaran | Hi, I have to deploy ubuntu to a bunch of machines, around 5-10, what are my options for this other than MAAS or walking to each one with a USB stick ? | 09:58 |
| ikevin | blackflow, i never tryed with 16.10 | 09:59 |
| ikevin | aaran, netinstall + pxe | 09:59 |
| ikevin | aaran, for bandwith saving, you can setup a small repo on your local network | 10:00 |
| OerHeks | !landscape | 10:00 |
| ubottu | Landscape makes the management and monitoring of Ubuntu systems simple and effective by combining world-class support with easy to use online management tools. https://landscape.canonical.com/ | 10:00 |
| ultrav1olet | OerHeks: Really odd when you're stupid as fuck. /etc/apt is generated during install, you cannot extract it from apt.deb or any other package | 10:01 |
| OerHeks | and my ignore list growes | 10:01 |
| ultrav1olet | Yeah, that's the mark of a stupid person. Someone shares a different point of view? He has facts against my beliefs? Let's ignore him! | 10:02 |
| ikevin | ultrav1olet, i think kernel update are on security repo, check if you have it enabled | 10:03 |
| ultrav1olet | ikevin: my servers still on 4.2.0-42-generic which is wrong absolutely wrong and `apt-get update; apt-get upgrade` offers zero new packages | 10:04 |
| ultrav1olet | my hoster f*cked up the installation images | 10:04 |
| ikevin | do you use the officials repo? | 10:04 |
| ultrav1olet | Now I'm trying to understand what he borked in /etc/apt | 10:04 |
| ultrav1olet | Nope, not possible in my case. Servers are 4000 miles away from me. | 10:05 |
| ikevin | some hoster replace official repo by local repo to save bp | 10:05 |
| ultrav1olet | I'm not against saving bw | 10:05 |
| ultrav1olet | bandwitdh | 10:05 |
| ultrav1olet | I'm against f*cking /etc/apt up | 10:05 |
| ikevin | so, maybe installing a minimal ubuntu in a vm can help you to save time | 10:06 |
| ultrav1olet | that's what I'm doing right now | 10:06 |
| ultrav1olet | I'm just appalled that no one in this channel could help me | 10:06 |
| blackflow | ultrav1olet: OVH? | 10:06 |
| ultrav1olet | 300 dead souls? | 10:06 |
| ultrav1olet | No one is running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS? | 10:06 |
| _Rarity | ikevin: All right. Thanks for the answer :) | 10:06 |

| Ben64 | ultrav1olet: what exactly is messed up | 10:08 |
| ultrav1olet | my servers don't get kernel updates at all | 10:08 |
| ultrav1olet | My hoster f*cked up /etc/apt | 10:08 |
| Ben64 | stop with the language | 10:08 |
| ultrav1olet | sorry | 10:08 |
| Ben64 | what kernel are you on | 10:08 |
| ultrav1olet | 4.2.0-42-generic | 10:09 |
| hateball | ultrav1olet: here is an easy way to generate a new sources.list if that's the issue https://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 10:09 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23592745/ ? | 10:09 |
| hateball | ultrav1olet: otherwise just make sure you have lines for main and security | 10:10 |
| Ben64 | ultrav1olet: how have you tried to get a new kernel | 10:10 |
| ultrav1olet | hateball: already installed Ubuntu server in a VM | 10:10 |
| ultrav1olet | everyone has been so helpful it was easier and faster than waiting for help | 10:10 |
| Skizu | I'm running ubuntu and looking to monitor some HTTP network traffic, basically want to see url and response time, anyone know of a program to do that? | 10:10 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: what is in your /etc/apt now? | 10:10 |
| ultrav1olet | also I don't quite trust some random websites on the internet | 10:10 |
| hateball | ... | 10:11 |
| ikevin | ultrav1olet, i think ubuntu server is not the most used, and 14.* are old, this is why you have difficulty to have help | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | but you'd trust a random person here to give you /etc/apt? | 10:11 |
| ultrav1olet | Ben64: diff -u would be quite telling | 10:11 |
| nacc | ikevin: FUD. | 10:11 |
| ikevin | Skizu, wireshark | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | well if yours is messed up, how would you know | 10:11 |
| ultrav1olet | I'm not that stupid to install someone else's apt without checking | 10:11 |
| Ben64 | how would you know what proper looks like | 10:12 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: you've been provided it now, from the lxd ubuntu trusty image | 10:12 |
| ultrav1olet | Mine is indeed messed up but I understand the structure of /etc/apt files | 10:12 |
| ikevin | nacc, ? | 10:12 |
| * nacc still has no idea what 'messed up' means, and sounds like the hoster should not be used, if so | 10:12 | |
| Ben64 | yeah they could give you one that works fine, but gives you exploited packages | 10:12 |
| ultrav1olet | Yeah, spent an hour downloading an image and installing it in a VM. So freaking amazing. | 10:12 |
| hateball | Skizu: do you want to run it in the background and log all your traffic, or just test certain sites? | 10:12 |
| ultrav1olet | Ben64: there can be no exploits in /etc/apt unless you're terminally stupid | 10:13 |
| nacc | ikevin: 'ubuntu server is not most used' -- not true. '14.* are old' -- not true and doesn't matter, still supported | 10:13 |
| Ben64 | ultrav1olet: you're ignorant | 10:13 |
| Skizu | hateball: Just want to run it for a certain thing, I've an application I'm building and it's one of it's requirements that handled the requests, so want to see which part of my application is lagging | 10:14 |
| ultrav1olet | Nope, I've been administrating dozens of servers for over 15 years. Never been hacked or powned | 10:14 |
| hateball | Skizu: curl is not enough? | 10:14 |
| ultrav1olet | But you're free to say what you want | 10:14 |
| Skizu | Nah, it's huge :P like 2000 requests in this thing | 10:15 |
| Skizu | HAL apis... yay | 10:15 |
| ikevin | nacc, i use ubuntu server for some specific things, so, redhat or debian are most used, and since new LTS, 14.* are old | 10:15 |
| enceladu5 | What would be the best way to log activity in linux for a machine learning algorithm? | 10:15 |
| enceladu5 | I'd like to see if I can learn my daily morning routine on my computer | 10:16 |
| hateball | Skizu: What are you serving it with? Apache or nginx? They should have logs themselves | 10:16 |
| hateball | Skizu: Otherwise I suppose you can use something like tcpflow | 10:16 |
| enceladu5 | I'm guessing I would have to set triggers on specific applications etc./ | 10:16 |
| Skizu | tcpflow doesn't have response time | 10:16 |
| nacc | ikevin: right, it's FUD to say your particular choices are ubuntu. 14.04.5 released only a few months ago. | 10:17 |
| ikevin | nacc, new release don't mean it's up to date | 10:18 |
| nacc | ikevin: it's fine. I'm saying that's not an accurate response IMO, for the support channel. | 10:18 |
| nacc | ikevin: and regardless, my first point is still valid. Just because you don't use ubuntu server does not mean it's not used. | 10:18 |
| ultrav1olet | Ubuntu is amazing: http://askubuntu.com/questions/441619/how-to-successfully-restart-a-network-without-reboot-over-ssh | 10:19 |
| ikevin | i use it (as desktop and on some servers) | 10:19 |
| hateball | Skizu: Hmmm, there's no parsing for pcaps in Wireshark then? | 10:19 |
| ultrav1olet | No way to restart networking without doing some dirty tricks | 10:19 |
| ultrav1olet | or running ifconfig/route/ip command manually | 10:19 |
| ultrav1olet | wow | 10:19 |
| ikevin | nacc, i just said to ultrav1olet that for some reasons having support for ubuntu server 14 is more diffucult than having support for 16.10 desktop | 10:20 |
| nacc | ikevin: and i'm saying to you that i think your assertion is wrong, your reasons seem inaccurate to me and are not particularly helpful. Also, there is an #ubuntu-server channel for server discussion/support. Moving on. | 10:21 |
| Skizu | hateball: Never used wireshark, can't see anything about it being able to report on request time | 10:24 |
| inerkick | Hi.. Can anyone help me to install Java8.1 | 10:26 |
| inerkick | I couldn't find any details online to go for it. | 10:27 |
| Queenslayer | is there a gaming edition of ubuntu? | 10:27 |
| Ben64 | no | 10:28 |
| mcphail | Queenslayer: there isn't an official Ubuntu gaming flavour, anyway. Someone may have made one, but wouldn't be supported here | 10:28 |
| inerkick | Java 1.8 .. I'm sorry | 10:28 |
| nacc | inerkick: 1.8?? java is 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 (in development), righ tnow | 10:29 |
| ultrav1olet | Does apt have any settings beside /etc/apt? | 10:29 |
| inerkick | I was trying to install pycharm. It says I got java 1.7 and needed 1.8 | 10:29 |
| Nitrogen | guys, i can't get permanent module load on system startup. i'm using b43 driver for my wifi and added it to /etc/modules, but it has no visible effect. altho i can still manually load it with modprobe. running 16.04.1 LTS. | 10:29 |
| inerkick | couldn't get how to go for it nacc | 10:30 |
| nacc | inerkick: please pastebin the exact command used and output. Also, wht version of ubuntu? | 10:30 |
| ultrav1olet | I've just synced my servers' /etc/apt to the official apt configuration and apt-get upgrade still does _not_ offer to update the kernel! | 10:30 |
| ultrav1olet | What the hell? | 10:30 |
| inerkick | Ubuntu 14.04 | 10:30 |
| mcphail | nacc: Isn't java 1.8 == java 8? I thought they had funny versioning like that | 10:30 |
| Queenslayer | mcphail: someone has been telling me porkies then | 10:31 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: please provide the output of `apt update; apt-cache policy linux-image-generic (or whatever the kernel package is you're using)` | 10:31 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: in a pastebin | 10:31 |
| Queenslayer | I could have sworn there wasn't one that would "support all games" | 10:31 |
| Icekapade | hello fellow hackers | 10:31 |
| Icekapade | how dose i login as root from the gooey | 10:32 |
| nacc | mcphail: oh i see, yes, 8.0u111 is at run time (java -showversion): 1.8.0_111 | 10:32 |
| inerkick | nacc, i686 | 10:32 |
| inerkick | nacc, https://paste.ubuntu.com/23592792/ | 10:32 |
| nacc | inerkick: no java8 in trusty | 10:32 |
| nacc | mcphail: thanks for that catch :) | 10:33 |
| mcphail | nacc: np. I think the java world is a bit daft | 10:33 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: http://pastebin.com/raw/hkKdHgaf | 10:33 |
| nacc | mcphail: without a doubt :) | 10:33 |
| inerkick | lol. So I need to download that version and install? | 10:34 |
| Nitrogen | Queenslayer, perhaps you're referring to SteamOS, but it's a hoax :) any linux will start to 'support all games' as soon as gamedev would care to support linux | 10:34 |
| Icekapade | hello?? | 10:34 |
| Icekapade | pls helps me | 10:34 |
| ultrav1olet | `dpkg -l | grep linux-image` gives this http://pastebin.com/raw/bz9329qL | 10:34 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: that doesn't seem to include the `apt update` output? or is truncated? Ok, so you're not using the generic kernel on that system. | 10:35 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: right, so you've told your system to use the 14.04.4 kernel | 10:35 |
| Queenslayer | Nitrogen: that's exactly what I thought, it's the nature of Linux to be able to configure any edition if the support is reciprocated | 10:35 |
| ultrav1olet | I skipped it | 10:35 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: which is no longer supported | 10:35 |
| hateball | Skizu: as it logs all tcp traffic I think it should. If you run a trace and save, then you have Statistics -> HTTP | 10:35 |
| ultrav1olet | How can I install a supported/maintained kernel then? | 10:35 |
| hateball | Skizu: cant say I've tried it myself tho, just airing ideas :) | 10:35 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: try `apt install linux-image-generic-lts-xenial` | 10:36 |
| mcphail | Queenslayer: base Ubuntu is the best supported gaming distro. Valve and GOG both refer to Ubuntu | 10:36 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack the 14.04 section | 10:36 |
| Queenslayer | good to know | 10:36 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: thanks, that's awesome! | 10:36 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: your hoster is not following the recommended default packages, i assume. | 10:36 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: think so | 10:37 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: and if you run `hwe-support-status --verbose` on your system, i *think* it might have complained, but i'm not sure | 10:37 |
| ultrav1olet | now that I've installed linux-image-generic-lts-xenial, how can I be sure my system will reboot into this kernel by default? | 10:37 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: note that 16.04.x is solving this differently | 10:37 |
| Queenslayer | mcphail: I always wondered why Ubuntu haven't made a dedicated effort for the gaming community to make a distro that could work from first installation | 10:37 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: there, it will be a rolling hwe kernel | 10:37 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: which you can see on that wiki page in the pictures | 10:38 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: it says The following packages are no longer supported linux-image-extra-4.2.0-42-generic linux-image-generic-lts-wily linux-image-4.2.0-42-generic. Please upgrade them to a supported HWE stack or remove them if you no longer need them. | 10:38 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: ah nice, that's the issue you are hitting :) | 10:38 |
| ultrav1olet | also WARNING: Security updates for your current Hardware Enablement Stack ended on 2016-08-04: | 10:38 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: yep, not good :) | 10:39 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: what's the command to officially switch to something supported? | 10:39 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: i think that wiki page had it, let me look | 10:39 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial | 10:39 |
| ultrav1olet | I've already done `apt install linux-image-generic-lts-xenial` but I guess that's no enough | 10:39 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: yeah, so that just updated the kernel image | 10:39 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: and well, you haen't rebooted yet, so you're not yet on a supported image | 10:39 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: i thinkyou want `grub-set-default` with the right arguments | 10:41 |
| Icekapade | fuck you guys | 10:42 |
| Icekapade | freebsd 4 lyf | 10:42 |
| Icekapade | only lowies use ubuntu | 10:42 |
| Icekapade | its for fags | 10:42 |
| Icekapade | cya cunts | 10:42 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: to find the name to use, you can `grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg` after you're up to date | 10:43 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: already checked that file - the new kernel is default | 10:45 |
| ultrav1olet | I'll now have to convince the management to reboot the affected server | 10:46 |
| ultrav1olet | servers | 10:46 |
| ultrav1olet | actually there are several | 10:46 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: thanks a ton! | 10:48 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: yw | 10:50 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: you might want to convince the mgmt (presuming you men the hoster) to fix their image, more importantly | 10:50 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: their customers are getting an unsupported OS by default | 10:50 |
| ultrav1olet | nacc: that's hetzner actually, you might have heard about them )) | 10:50 |
| ultrav1olet | yep, and now this kernel has at least four local root vulnerabilities | 10:51 |
| nacc | ultrav1olet: right, no security fixes for that kernel, of course (but the xenial one is security supported) | 10:51 |
| ultrav1olet | I might write them a letter but I'm too lazy for that | 10:51 |
| ultrav1olet | some other day | 10:52 |
| ikevin | ultrav1olet, what is your hoster? ovh? | 10:52 |
| bazhang | ikevin, please take the chit chat to the offtopic channel, thanks | 10:53 |

| Orpheon | Hello, I had a 4 TB hard drive with a bunch of data on it, and due to a mishap of mine accidently dd'd a ubuntu live iso on the start, and due to a second mistake accidently booted off it, which created a few extra megabytes of swap space. How likely is it that I'll be able to recover the data that wasn't overwritten through gpart or similar? And what would be the recommended way to do so? | 11:13 |
| morfin | 16.10 hmm | 11:13 |
| morfin | i use LTS | 11:13 |
| TomyWork | hi nacc | 11:14 |
| nacc | TomyWork: hello! | 11:14 |
| TomyWork | unfortunately your patch didnt work (or i dont remember the steps to take after installing it) | 11:14 |
| TomyWork | i built it myself after i noticed i can just enable the deb-src entry and apt-get source it | 11:14 |
| OerHeks | Orpheon, testdisk is my 1st choice, http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 11:15 |
| Orpheon | what would happen if I just overwrote the MBR with what I assume was the filesystem type? Would it just break for the first 1.5 gigabytes that are overwritten and work for the rest, or would the initial errors break everything and the result be useless? | 11:15 |
| OerHeks | you would need sufficient space to write the lost data to. | 11:15 |
| nacc | TomyWork: sorry, totally missing context | 11:16 |
| nacc | TomyWork: i work on a lot of bugs :) | 11:16 |
| TomyWork | oh, of course :D | 11:16 |
| TomyWork | i was the one with the dell laptop whose bluetooth didnt work | 11:16 |
| EriC^^ | you can test it in 16.04 too but you need to install some packages, i wouldn't recommend it though | 11:16 |
| TomyWork | you sent me a patch where you added the usb device id to btusb.c | 11:16 |
| Orpheon | OerHeks: testdisk found nothing on its quick search, is that a sign that I'm doomed or should I bite the bullet and run the deeper search (something that I'm assuming will take ages)? | 11:17 |
| EriC^^ | kbob: sudo apt-get install build-essential | 11:17 |
| nacc | TomyWork: do you have a link to the patch, might help refresh my memory :) | 11:17 |
| nacc | TomyWork: oh right, i submitted the ppa build, but i think it kept timing out? | 11:17 |
| TomyWork | https://launchpad.net/~nacc/+archive/ubuntu/lp1382490 | 11:17 |
| TomyWork | yep | 11:17 |
| TomyWork | i built it locally and installed it | 11:17 |
| TomyWork | but bt-adapter -l still showed no devices | 11:18 |
| OerHeks | Orpheon, yes, deep search might give some data back, no guarantee though | 11:18 |
| Orpheon | ok | 11:18 |
| EriC^^ | Orpheon: do you have a saved paste of sudo parted -l or so? | 11:18 |
| EriC^^ | maybe somebody here asked you once to pastebin it? | 11:18 |
| Orpheon | of before? No | 11:19 |
| nacc | TomyWork: looking, one sec | 11:19 |
| EriC^^ | Orpheon: try testdisk's deeper search | 11:19 |
| EriC^^ | it usually finds a bunch of stuff in the first minute | 11:19 |
| Orpheon | is there a way to skip the quicksearch? | 11:19 |
| Orpheon | and go straight to deepsearch? | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | Orpheon: yeah, press enter | 11:20 |
| EriC^^ | also with the deeper search you can stop it with enter and use whatever it found already | 11:20 |
| nacc | TomyWork: do you have a link or pastebin of thep atch itself? | 11:20 |
| nacc | *the patch | 11:20 |
| TomyWork | nacc uh not sure... this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23593042/ | 11:37 |
| TomyWork | i dont know how to get the patch set in a structured way | 11:37 |
| TomyWork | i only have the .diff.gz that apt-get source downloaded | 11:38 |
| freelancerbob | ikevin: hi, i am back | 11:56 |
| freelancerbob | ikevin: now i have problem with sudoers | 11:56 |
| freelancerbob | ikevin: how can i fix it ? add user to sudoers or something | 11:59 |
| ikevin | freelancerbob, return to chroot, and type: addgroup admin <your user> | 12:00 |
| freelancerbob | ikevin: and what about this ? sudo adduser <username> sudo | 12:00 |
| ikevin | addgroup if sufficient, so, while you apply a new group, you need to disconnect and reconnect | 12:01 |
| TomyWork | nacc i remember you telling me a bunch of commands to try, beyond "bt-adapter -l". what else can i try to see at which point in the chain it breaks? | 12:02 |
| ikevin | freelancerbob, don't use group sudo, use admin | 12:03 |
| EriC^^ | ikevin: there isn't an admin group in ubuntu i think | 12:03 |
| EriC^^ | there's sudo and adm for access to logs | 12:03 |
| freelancerbob | what i meaning of this ? | 12:04 |
| freelancerbob | root@kali:/# getent group sudo sudo:x:27:martin,tradmin | 12:04 |
| bazhang | freelancerbob, is that kali linux | 12:05 |
| freelancerbob | what is command to list user with their groups ? | 12:05 |
| freelancerbob | users | 12:05 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: groups <user> | 12:06 |
| bazhang | freelancerbob, is that kali linux | 12:06 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: it means martic and tradmin are in the sudo group | 12:06 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: root@kali:/# groups tradmin tradmin : martin sudo | 12:07 |
| freelancerbob | I do not have user martin | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: try grep martic /etc/passwd | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | *matrin | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | (why do i keep typing martic) | 12:07 |
| TomyWork | *ericcanttype | 12:07 |
| EriC^^ | :D | 12:08 |
| freelancerbob | tradmin:x:1000:1000:Uzivatel:/home/martin:/bin/bash | 12:08 |
| engpy | You have thing for Martic :) | 12:08 |
| freelancerbob | how i rename user tradmin to someone else ? | 12:09 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: create a new account and copy the files, it's easier and less headachy i guess | 12:10 |
| EriC^^ | sudo mv /home/martin /home/martin.backup | 12:11 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: why i have there Martin ??? > root@kali:/# groups tradmin tradmin : martin sudo | 12:11 |
| EriC^^ | then create the user and move the files back to /home/martin | 12:11 |
| djovic_ | or use this: sudo usermod -l <newname> -d <newname> <oldname> | 12:11 |
| djovic_ | should copy your home folder also to the new name | 12:12 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: no idea, you have a martin group maybe? try grep martin /etc/group | 12:12 |
| djovic_ | or rather move it | 12:12 |
| freelancerbob | root@kali:/# grep martin /etc/group adm:x:4:syslog,martin cdrom:x:24:martin sudo:x:27:martin,tradmin dip:x:30:martin plugdev:x:46:martin lpadmin:x:113:martin martin:x:1000: sambashare:x:128:martin | 12:13 |

| EriC^^ | yeah | 12:14 |
| zamba | in the process of installing ubuntu i accidentally disconnected the cd-rom | 12:14 |
| zamba | how can i attach it again? | 12:14 |
| ablest | eric i got nes name for you | 12:14 |
| zamba | now i just get lots of "Failed to fetch cdrom://Ubuntu-Server 16.04.1 LTS" ... messages | 12:14 |
| zamba | can i manually mount it? | 12:14 |
| freelancerbob | zamba: install it from usb :) | 12:14 |
| ablest | generic | 12:15 |
| zamba | freelancerbob: i'd rather not restart the whole installation process | 12:15 |
| EriC^^ | ablest: that doesn't make sense :P | 12:15 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: why i then getting user tradmin is not in sudoers ? | 12:15 |
| ablest | gen"eric" | 12:15 |
| ablest | :) | 12:15 |
| EriC^^ | :P | 12:16 |

| freelancerbob | EriC^^: let me restart PC and get from live-kali to installed ubuntu | 12:17 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: ok | 12:17 |
| gaybottom | I had a boyfriend named "Ubuntu" once. he would "play the bongos" on my ass. I was 14 he was 44 | 12:18 |
| rommel | zamba if this happened during the install just start over | 12:18 |
| nacc | TomyWork: sorry, i had stepped away | 12:28 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: usermod: user tradmin is currently used by process 2959 | 12:29 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: i can't rename user | 12:29 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: are you logged into the account? | 12:30 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: yes | 12:30 |
| nacc | TomyWork: with that kernel, does btusb actual connect to your device (if you can, pastebin dmesg) | 12:30 |
| EriC^^ | you have to log out and use another account to do it | 12:30 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: that is really anoying, i do not have another account | 12:31 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: create one quickly, sudo adduser <newaccount> | 12:31 |
| EriC^^ | then sudo adduser <newaccount> sudo | 12:32 |
| freelancerbob | logout.login ? | 12:33 |
| EriC^^ | yeah | 12:33 |
| TomyWork | nacc hmm, what do i filter for? | 12:40 |
| aliozcan | guys, is there an easy way to kill all stopped jobs | 12:56 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: seems that works thanks/. now i have som pop up line when i typing: lubo@lubo-hp:~$ sudo su sudo: unable to resolve host lubo-hp | 12:56 |
| EriC^^ | !hostname | 12:56 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 12:56 |

| freelancerbob | what is diference between sudo su and sudo su - ? | 13:02 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: - gives a login shell | 13:02 |
| EriC^^ | the consensus is that sudo -i is the better way | 13:03 |
| freelancerbob | EriC^^: do not understand :) | 13:04 |
| gebruiker | freelancerbob: sudo is prefered over su for various reasons, 1) better logging 2) the root password does not have to be shared 3) when using su everything is executed from root with sudo only the nessesary commands | 13:04 |
| EriC^^ | freelancerbob: su - gives a login shell, it gives an environment like when the user logs in, people seem to agree that it's better to use sudo -i to get a root shell instead of su and su - | 13:05 |
| freelancerbob | gebruiker: i think i need to read some manual first :) | 13:05 |
| gebruiker | freelancerbob: http://www.aplawrence.com/Basics/sudo.html is a good starting point | 13:06 |
| freelancerbob | gebruiker: yes i need mroe articles with unix security, some forum or good literature ? | 13:07 |
| nacc | TomyWork: just pastebin it, if you're ok with that | 13:07 |
| gebruiker | freelancerbob: wiki.ubuntu.com and help.ubuntu.com is a good place to start because it relates directly to the distrobution you are using. Some distrobutions might prefer things differently, however most of the time there is an broad overlap of commonnalities | 13:09 |

| LondonAppDev | Hey guys, does anyone know how I can stop my wireless card going into power saving mode? | 13:25 |
| LondonAppDev | Using Ubuntu 16.04 | 13:26 |
| acicula | how do you mean | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj-pi | hiyas all | 13:30 |
| acicula | LondonAppDev: what do you mean by disable powersaving? | 13:30 |
| akik | LondonAppDev: you can add a script into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-up.d which always sets "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0 power off" | 13:31 |
| LondonAppDev | Hi acicula, thanks for replying. So my network is suddenly freezing, and when I look in the syslog it seems like just before it freezes it gives "limiting tx power to 20"... so I think that's why it's freezing. I put the full log details here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/857975/prevent-network-card-going-into-low-power-mode | 13:31 |
| LondonAppDev | So it seems like it's trying to put it into powwer saving mode | 13:32 |
| LondonAppDev | thanks akik I will try that | 13:32 |
| acicula | you can us iwconfig <interfacename> power off to disable power managment | 13:32 |
| === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon | ||

| flexd | gregl: is your nick unregistered? :) /msg nickserv help | 13:36 |
| LondonAppDev | thank you acicula and akik. | 13:36 |
| mrtAkdeniz | hey there | 13:36 |
| acicula | gregl: you have to be identified to the nickServ to be able to join | 13:36 |
| mrtAkdeniz | Guys I gonna freak out | 13:36 |
| mrtAkdeniz | I've some problems about chmod and chown | 13:36 |
| flexd | no need to panic | 13:36 |
| gregl | flexd: I have been registered for years... | 13:37 |
| mrtAkdeniz | I've php + nginx installation and i give chown www-data:www-data to application folder | 13:37 |
| mrtAkdeniz | now when I want to change sth from my user, it says i can not because i've no permission | 13:37 |
| flexd | okay, identified then? sometimes maybe you get disconnected and then you are not identified when you join, so you join #ubuntu-unregged instead | 13:37 |
| mrtAkdeniz | stupid linux need to got it, I'm the OWNER! | 13:38 |
| flexd | because of the modes on this channel | 13:38 |
| mrtAkdeniz | I'm fuckin owner and I can change whatever I want, but no. it says i can not | 13:38 |
| acicula | mrtAkdeniz: calm down | 13:38 |
| flexd | mrtAkdeniz: chown changes the owner. | 13:38 |
| mrtAkdeniz | flexd, yes, owner of the folder | 13:38 |
| mrtAkdeniz | but owner of the computer still me | 13:38 |
| mrtAkdeniz | and that folder on MY computer | 13:38 |
| acicula | mrtAkdeniz: that has no bearing on file permissions however | 13:39 |
| mrtAkdeniz | if i change ownership to my user, application brokes | 13:39 |
| flexd | mrtAkdeniz: do you expect the computer to just know that? Your filesystem does not care who owns the hardware. | 13:39 |
| gregl | flexd: Thats what i have been doing,but if i leave and return I have to re Identify.. | 13:39 |
| mrtAkdeniz | if i change it into www-data, this time i can not modify | 13:39 |
| mrtAkdeniz | what's the way to has ownership on www-data and I also can edit | 13:39 |
| flexd | gregl: weird.. do you automatically identify? You can add that to most clients. I have it setup in weechat so it automatically identifies me | 13:40 |
| mrtAkdeniz | because of anger my english broken, so good | 13:40 |
| flexd | mrtAkdeniz: add the www-data group to your user fore xample | 13:40 |
| flexd | usermod -a -G www-data <your user> | 13:40 |
| flexd | -a means append, -G means group, see man usermod | 13:40 |
| mrtAkdeniz | flexd, already did, and chmod -R g+w to folter | 13:40 |
| mrtAkdeniz | or w+g don't remember very well | 13:40 |
| flexd | did you login again? | 13:41 |
| mrtAkdeniz | nah, do i need to? | 13:41 |
| flexd | Check what groups you have with the 'groups' comamnd | 13:41 |
| flexd | new groups are not applied once you add them | 13:41 |
| mrtAkdeniz | on remote server, exit and connect again works? | 13:42 |
| gregl | flexd: Yeah I have it set to auto log me in... Its just Ubuntu all the other channels i join are ok.. Weird.. | 13:42 |
| mrtAkdeniz | flexd, seems like yes it works | 13:42 |
| flexd | good :) | 13:42 |
| sven^ | hey. Are there any dynamic memory managers on ubuntu that wouldn' give a process the memory it wants even if there is free memory available and after some waiting time it would just give the process it's memory? | 13:57 |
| sven^ | might sound a bit odd.. | 13:58 |
| sven^ | :) | 13:58 |
| nacc | sven^: "dynamic memory managers"? | 14:04 |
| TomyWork | nacc i'm on the stock kernel right now. i need to reboot first | 14:06 |
| TomyWork | give me 10 minutes :) | 14:06 |
| nacc | TomyWork: np | 14:06 |
| sven^ | nacc: hard to explain. I had a process that read in a fail and requested memory for each line. At first it crashed at 25k lines, then I ran it again and it managed 26k lines. each 30 seconds I waited (no matter if I tried running it or not) it managed to load 5k more lines. | 14:08 |
| nacc | sven^: your process is requesting memory? so it's a program you wrote? | 14:14 |
| nacc | sven^: what kind of 'crash'? | 14:15 |
| sven^ | nacc: memory allocation fails. Yes, I wrote it. It's pretty simple and straightforward and well tested | 14:17 |
| mcphail | sven^: your program is broken. Trying to second guess the memory manager is a waste of time | 14:17 |
| sven^ | mcphail: where? http://sprunge.us/jfBY?c | 14:17 |
| nacc | sven^: memory allocation failure is not a crash, unless your proram is buggy | 14:18 |
| nacc | sven^: you mean your program *fails*? | 14:18 |
| nacc | sven^: it feels like you are putting memory pressure on your system in a tight loop, then saying why do you run out of memory? | 14:19 |
| sven^ | nacc: the point is, the above code runs now. It failed 50 minutes ago | 14:19 |
| sven^ | nothing has changed since then | 14:19 |
| nacc | sven^: yes it has | 14:19 |
| nacc | sven^: memory pressure is different | 14:19 |
| nacc | sven^: you forced a bunch of stuff out of the cache probably by running a memory hog | 14:20 |
| nacc | sven^: so the next time you ran, there was more memory easily accessible | 14:20 |
| sven^ | nacc: but shouldn't the OS swap before killing a process? | 14:20 |
| nacc | sven^: and/or, the kernel/glibcs was able to allocate more space | 14:20 |
| nacc | sven^: it did not *kill* your process | 14:20 |
| nacc | sven^: unless you mean your host went OOM, which is not what you said | 14:20 |
| AppAraat | sorry if slightly offtopic, but what regex flavor does sed use? | 14:20 |
| sven^ | it declined memory, yeah... hmm | 14:20 |
| nacc | sven^: yes, that's a glibc decision, afaict, right? | 14:21 |
| nacc | sven^: the kernel did not deny you, because if it did, you would have an ooM | 14:21 |
| nacc | AppAraat: depends on the flags you pass | 14:21 |
| nacc | AppAraat: e.g., -r | 14:21 |
| nacc | AppAraat: loook through `man sed` ? | 14:21 |
| AppAraat | oh it can support multiple. Cool. | 14:21 |
| sven^ | nacc: I am very confused. free said there is like 2GB of free (not swapped or cached) memory. It was totally fine on 4 computers across multiple distributions. Sometimes it slowed down for swapping or stuff like that | 14:22 |
| sven^ | nacc: I am actually trying to find out why it failed. My best guess is some kind of memory protection demon or something similar, preventing a process to aquire too much memory at once | 14:23 |
| sven^ | and the odd point is, that I cannot reproduce the failure although nothing changed (at least not according to free and top) | 14:25 |
| acicula | what is actually failing, some malloc call? | 14:25 |
| sven^ | calloc | 14:26 |
| DK2 | ive dd a system to another drive | 14:26 |
| sven^ | it 'failed' | 14:26 |
| sven^ | it is not failing anymore | 14:26 |
| sven^ | and that sucks even more | 14:27 |
| DK2 | but the cloned system wont boot "/proc/" and "/dev" contains no files, what went wrong? | 14:27 |
| acicula | how are you determining failure, is there an error code? | 14:27 |
| acicula | was there an out of memory notice in the kernel log? | 14:27 |
| acicula | DK2: the virtual filesystems are not mounted | 14:27 |
| sven^ | no | 14:27 |
| OlofL | I suspect a package is available from two repositories. How do I validate that? ANd if it is, how do I install from a specific one | 14:27 |
| DK2 | acicula how to mount dem actually? | 14:28 |
| acicula | OlofL: the same package is available from a lot of different repositories, but in the default depository for your release there should only be one | 14:28 |
| acicula | OlofL: exception being that the repository carries multiple versions of a package, such as python27 python34,etc | 14:28 |
| OerHeks | apt-cache showpkg <package> | 14:29 |
| acicula | DK2: err mounting proc? im guessing mount -t procfs proc /proc and the same for dev and sys, but how are you booting your system if those are not mounted? | 14:30 |
| DK2 | on a live linux | 14:30 |
| OlofL | http://hastebin.com/ahoqowukuz.sql ok I see there are two versions. How do I select the 2.4 version to install? | 14:30 |
| acicula | sven^: calloc doesnt just fail, it returns an error code if it doesnt succeed | 14:30 |
| acicula | if the program just says failed you have to dig into the program code, but without an oom notice in the kernel log running out of memory is not the issue | 14:31 |
| acicula | DK2: are you trying to chroot into your installed system or? | 14:32 |
| mcphail | sven^: you are asking for an exponential amount of memeory (re)allocation, which is going to fail at some point. And remember realloc() can occupy more than double the required memory footprint if the ptr has to be moved and freed. Is it surprising you are hitting allocation errors? | 14:32 |
| DK2 | acicula : i can chroot into the system, but as i said it appears to be kind of broken because /dev/ is empty and it wont boot because of it | 14:33 |
| acicula | DK2: yeah i understand, exit the chroot and issue a mount -o bind /proc /path/to/your/chroot/proc | 14:34 |
| acicula | DK2: to the same for your dev and sys folders | 14:34 |
| acicula | then try to chroot again | 14:34 |
| DK2 | ill try | 14:34 |
| DK2 | thanks | 14:34 |
| acicula | those folders contain virtual filesystems, so unless these are mounted they are empty | 14:35 |
| mcphail | sven^: by my quick calcs, your routine can claim 2GB (assuming a pointer to double is 8 bytes) | 14:36 |
| nacc | sven^: as others have said, you really should be checking *why* calloc, realloc etc. fail | 14:38 |
| OerHeks | OlofL, i think jut install, unless you use an other metapackage to install | 14:39 |
| sven^ | mcphail: the errors occur at pretty early and it's the calloc that fails, not the realloc. Apart from that you are right, but it's not applicable | 14:40 |
| nacc | OlofL: and note that installing that takes you, effectively, off ubuntu | 14:40 |
| nacc | sven^: also, you've ensured your rlimits are high enough? | 14:41 |
| sven^ | acicula, nacc: yeah, malloc/calloc can fail with ENOMEM. Which it did. At 40 MB when free said there were 2GB free space. | 14:41 |
| sven^ | nacc: well, they are now. | 14:41 |
| nacc | sven^: when it failed with 40M, were your rlimits sufficiently high? | 14:42 |
| sven^ | nacc: and I didn't change them. So I am back at my original question: assuming the limits where not high enough before I ran it. what changed them? | 14:42 |
| sven^ | something went wrong and some demon or automatic mechanism fixed it. I want to find out who did | 14:42 |
| nacc | sven^: how do you know this? | 14:44 |
| sven^ | know what? | 14:44 |
| nacc | sven^: that the rlimit was the issue and changed? | 14:44 |
| sven^ | I don't, that's why I said 'assuming' :) | 14:44 |
| DK2 | acicula: how can i make the system then actually boot if the /dev/ is empty? | 14:45 |
| nacc | sven^: i think you are making a logical leap that has no basis | 14:45 |
| nacc | sven^: if you didn't change your rlimits manually, they didn't change | 14:45 |
| nacc | sven^: you can have ENOMEM return at different points in the execution pattern based upon what the state of the glibc memory allocator is when you run, which also involves the state of memory on your system at the time, etc. | 14:46 |
| acicula | DK2: its not, /dev is automatically mounted on boot | 14:47 |
| nacc | sven^: if you want to investigate this, presuming no OOM, you can use: https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Allocation-Debugging.html | 14:47 |
| sven^ | ok, that's good. Then the rlimits were high enough before and are high enough now. So what else could cause a ENOMEM error while there is enough free memory and why can't I reproduce it now even when I try to get 1000x the memory? | 14:47 |
| acicula | /path/to/your/root/dev is not | 14:47 |
| sven^ | nacc: I cannot reproduce the problem. | 14:47 |
| sven^ | I cannot debug it | 14:47 |
| sven^ | I can't do anything to trace it down from my side (i can't reboot the machine to see if it happens again). That's why I came here to ask if there are any ubuntu specific demons that manage memory (and maybe dynamicly change rlimits or stuff like that) | 14:48 |
| DK2 | acicula: but thats the problem /dev/ is empty | 14:48 |
| roxas22 | Hi | 14:48 |
| roxas22 | What's up? | 14:49 |
| acicula | DK2: then how are you booting? | 14:49 |
| sven^ | All i can do now is hope the problem never happens again in production... | 14:49 |
| roxas22 | What appened? | 14:49 |
| DK2 | acicula: im accessing the system via rescue, because the it wont boot | 14:50 |

| omganothernewb | namecheap support said something about zone file or whatnot... | 15:07 |
| === DeVitosDellRep is now known as precise | ||
| SchrodingersScat | nothing really needs to be setup on the server, as far as i know, to point the dns somewhere. | 15:07 |
| kn330 | If you do not see the public IP of your server then your DNS setting is messed up. | 15:07 |
| omganothernewb | host support said something about rDNS if that is setup would that be the problem? | 15:08 |
| omganothernewb | its been like 4 days LOL | 15:09 |
| SchrodingersScat | omganothernewb: with namecheap I go into the advanceddns for the domain management, set a TTL of 5 minutes and put whatever IP i want | 15:09 |
| v-y | SchrodingersScat: they have their own DNS servers, which are not reponding @ omganothernewb | 15:10 |
| v-y | omganothernewb: http://www.dnsinspect.com/dirtypig.club/1481123299 | 15:10 |
| omganothernewb | I went to advanced dns, pointed server ip to ns1 and ns2 then set up custom dns ns1/2domain.com | 15:10 |
| v-y | You shouldn't setup dns servers if you don't know about them. WHy not use their DNS ( namecheap's ) ? | 15:10 |
| ducasse | omganothernewb: you are running your own dns servers? | 15:11 |
| v-y | omganothernewb: revert them back. | 15:11 |
| v-y | Yes, he/she is. | 15:11 |
| omganothernewb | that is what their support suggested. | 15:11 |
| omganothernewb | he | 15:11 |

| kn330 | o m gawd | 15:12 |
| omganothernewb | SchrodingersScat, how should I set it up at namecheap then? | 15:13 |
| v-y | omganothernewb: login to your namecheap account, select the domain, choose BasicDNS. Then Set A records to 173.208.157.194 | 15:13 |

| nacc | TomyWork: huh? | 15:29 |
| TomyWork | i also earlier checked btusb.ko with a hex editor. the usb device id is in there | 15:29 |
| TomyWork | (in little endian, i.e. backwards :) | 15:29 |
| nacc | TomyWork: you didn't insert a changelog entry? | 15:30 |
| TomyWork | nacc i wouldnt know how | 15:30 |
| nacc | TomyWork: how did you build the kernel? | 15:30 |
| TomyWork | i think that may be the problem with the build, as well | 15:30 |
| TomyWork | on launchpad i mean | 15:30 |
| TomyWork | i built it with "debuild -us -uc -b" | 15:31 |
| TomyWork | and holy shit 26 GB in temporary files :D | 15:31 |
| TomyWork | that created a dozen .deb files and a bunch more .udeb files for me | 15:32 |
| TomyWork | i discarded the udeb files after reading that they're basically only for fresh installs and live CDs | 15:33 |
| === Rikolino is now known as Rainbow_dash | ||
| TomyWork | and selected from the .deb files the ones where i had corresponding packages installed from other versions | 15:33 |

| nacc | IonutVan_: 9.5 is in 16.04 and on, not sure what the 'default', but that's where i'd guess | 15:58 |

| TomyWork | nacc well their build process for the kernel module introduces possible human error on my side. debuild does everything for me and eliminates that. | 16:10 |
| nacc | TomyWork: except you did not insert a chagnelog entry and it's not obvious to me as an observer that you areo on the correct kernel | 16:12 |
| nacc | TomyWork: which is human error :) | 16:12 |
| TomyWork | nacc well i verified that with a kernel module | 16:12 |
| TomyWork | nacc well i verified that with a hex editor | 16:12 |

| TomyWork | the kernel module (btusb.ko) contains 3c 41 43 81 (my device is 413c:8143) | 16:13 |

| TomyWork | maybe some other driver is occupying the device? how can i tell? | 16:18 |
| IonutVan_ | bullshit, ubuntu/xenial64 vagrant box is useless because is coming with "ubuntu" user and not with "vagrant" as expected | 16:19 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ iirc, you can configure that in your Vagrantfile | 16:20 |
| TomyWork | unusual, still, though | 16:20 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, and there is a password for that "ubuntu" user which is not mentioned anywhere | 16:20 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ config.ssh.username | 16:21 |
| TomyWork | and config.ssh.password once you find it | 16:21 |
| TomyWork | i'm guessing it's "ubuntu"? :) | 16:21 |
| TomyWork | or maybe you can access it with the well-known insecure vagrant key | 16:21 |
| IonutVan_ | and why should every user change the username when it should come default with vagrant user | 16:21 |
| TomyWork | try "vagrant ssh -- -l ubuntu" to see if it works | 16:22 |
| IonutVan_ | is not ubuntu the password | 16:22 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ oh you're not interested in getting it working | 16:22 |
| IonutVan_ | I can do: vagrant ssh, but for example systemctl stop nginx is asking for password | 16:22 |
| TomyWork | if you can do "vagrant ssh", you have a vagrant user | 16:22 |
| TomyWork | *unless* you reconfigured it in your Vagrantfile | 16:23 |
| IonutVan_ | and I don't see any trace of password in Vagrantfile | 16:23 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, yes, there is a user, but is called ubuntu and default should be vagrant | 16:23 |
| nacc | IonutVan_: TomyWork: there is a logical disconnect here, discussed elsewhere (I believe there is a bug on this), that there is a conflict between the default vagrant experience and the default ubuntu experience -- ubuntu's image favors ubuntu experience | 16:23 |

| IonutVan_ | see that the others are complaining as well | 16:24 |
| TomyWork | well i cant diagnose their problems without talking to them. you're here, however | 16:24 |
| TomyWork | and i know a thing or two about vagrant | 16:24 |
| TomyWork | so do you want to figure this out or not? | 16:24 |
| IonutVan_ | so, there is a user called "ubuntu" (which it seems that also it has a password attached to it) but default vagrant boxes are comming with "vagrant" user | 16:25 |
| IonutVan_ | so, how I can find the password for that "ubuntu" user | 16:25 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ first of all, does "vagrant ssh" work out of the box? | 16:25 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, yes | 16:25 |
| TomyWork | ok, two possibilities | 16:25 |
| IonutVan_ | [17:22:38] <IonutVan_>I can do: vagrant ssh, but for example systemctl stop nginx is asking for password | 16:25 |

| arlion[c] | Ubuntu 14.04.4 going to 14.04.5, Across 450 boxes, I have about 20 in various states of depens hell. Taking one box as an example, this box is attempting to reconfigure and depmod a new kernel. 3.19.0.77-generic, and 4.4.0-53-generic linux-generic-lts-xenial... why this box is trying to go to xenial idk.. | 16:31 |
| IonutVan_ | so, perhaps the good idea will be to just update the vagrant box image for xenial to use proper user, as recommended | 16:32 |
| arlion[c] | perfoming a dpkg --configure -a attempts to recompile the initrafs but it fails due to th kernel not being configured | 16:32 |
| arlion[c] | any advice how to remove and reset the package installation phase. | 16:32 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ did you take a look at the Vagrantfile in the box directory? | 16:32 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: that's called the lts stack | 16:32 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: err, hwe stack | 16:32 |
| arlion[c] | okay, so it's fine, as long as it stays on the 3.19 kernel branch | 16:33 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: huh? | 16:33 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: why are you using 14.04.4 or 14.04.5 if you wnat to be on 3.19? | 16:33 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: kernel-wise, i mean | 16:33 |
| arlion[c] | wooah... | 16:33 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: you want to stay on 14.04.0/14.04.1 kernel | 16:33 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, yes, there is just: Vagrant.configure .... and config.vm.box = "ubuntu/xenial64" | 16:33 |
| IonutVan_ | nothing else | 16:33 |
| arlion[c] | this kernel says its now on 4.4 | 16:34 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: actually, you can't be on 3.19 anymore and supported, iirc | 16:34 |
| arlion[c] | okay, i misunderstood the kernel package | 16:34 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 16:34 |
| arlion[c] | when it says linux-image-3.19.0-77, i took that as that is the kernel version | 16:34 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: it is? | 16:34 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: i think you're getting mixed up, as well, by the fact that pakcages can be installed and not necessarily used | 16:35 |
| arlion[c] | no, uname -a says that the kernel is 4.4.0-42, so unless im going back several years | 16:35 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: but you only need 14.04.x if you need a newer kernel/hw support | 16:35 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ can you write "getent passwd vagrant" into the shell on the box? | 16:35 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: mabye excluding 14.04.1 :) | 16:35 |
| arlion[c] | Yes, I need that plus all the security updates that comes with it. | 16:35 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, in the box folder I have: | 16:36 |
| IonutVan_ | config.ssh.username = "ubuntu" | 16:36 |
| IonutVan_ | config.ssh.password = "a1cc1e2dc85075ba5b17c3fa" | 16:36 |
| arlion[c] | nacc: what are your thoughts? | 16:36 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ see, there's your password :) | 16:36 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: need what? | 16:36 |
| arlion[c] | ? | 16:36 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: you said "need that" ... | 16:36 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: what do you mean by "that"? | 16:36 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ should really be indicated somewhere though... | 16:37 |
| TomyWork | also, that ubuntu user needs passwordless sudo in order to comply with requirements for a vagrant base box | 16:37 |
| arlion[c] | I need the new kernel along with staying with the the evolving LTS stream of updates until EOL of the 14.04 branch | 16:37 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, ok, and what I solved with that? my scrips are still supposing that the user is called "vagrant" as recommended, and to have /home/vagrant and not /home/ubuntu with ubuntu password | 16:37 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ well that first of all means your scripts are bad :) | 16:38 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: ok, so you do want to go to the latest HWE | 16:38 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: note that you are late in updating, aswell :) | 16:38 |
| TomyWork | but of course most scripts are not written with variable users in mind | 16:38 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: in that 14.04.4 is no longer supported :) | 16:38 |
| arlion[c] | Yes, I want to go to the latest HWE, I am aware that I am late. | 16:39 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, sorry to tell you, but all vagrant boxes are using "vagrant" user and only xenial is trying to change that. That's why a lot of users complain about that | 16:39 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, so, my scrips are how they should be | 16:39 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ you could of course just create that vagrant user | 16:39 |
| arlion[c] | I am asking for assistance in troubleshooting the last few boxes that failed the upgrade process. | 16:39 |
| TomyWork | and give it passwordless sudo | 16:39 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, and? thins will not solve the issue for the other users which use xenial box | 16:39 |
| IonutVan_ | this* | 16:39 |
| TomyWork | nope, but for your self | 16:40 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: can you pastebin `apt install -f` | 16:40 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ and for the others, you already have that launchpad issue, right? | 16:40 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, thanks anyway, I will just use centos/opensuse image and recommend that to my colleagues as well | 16:40 |
| arlion[c] | nacc: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/501098/11288651/ | 16:41 |
| TomyWork | you'd need someone to set the issue to confirmed | 16:41 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: so ... these machines were not being kept up to date? | 16:42 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: as in, you had ancient kernels on them | 16:42 |
| arlion[c] | current booted kernel is 4.4.0-42 | 16:42 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: i think you might need to hard purge using dpkg | 16:42 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: yes, i undrsetand -- but apt is trying to remove packages that are rather old | 16:42 |
| arlion[c] | These boxes are old, but not 14.04.1 old. | 16:43 |
| arlion[c] | maybe 14.04.3 ish time | 16:43 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ i'd need to download and test that image (can't do that here) in order to give a definite opinion on the matter, but if what you're telling me is correct, about the box Vagrantfile, then that's a no-go and needs to be fixed | 16:44 |
| TomyWork | so IonutVan_ one last thing: have you tried updating the box? | 16:45 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, if you don't believe what I told you, then check the above link and see that is a issue with the xenial image, the other users are complaining as well | 16:45 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, yes | 16:45 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: so they clearly were on 14.04.4, i undrestand that | 16:45 |
| TomyWork | there have been a number of updates to the box since october | 16:45 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: err, sorry! 14.04.3 | 16:45 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: my point was you didn't have just hte last two 14.04.3 kernels on the system | 16:45 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ it's not that i say you're lying, i just dont go without evidence when forming beliefs | 16:45 |
| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, the last comment for that link is from a few days ago | 16:45 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: you had at least two older ones | 16:45 |
| IonutVan_ | and I also confirmed that | 16:46 |
| arlion[c] | nacc: it is possible an apt autoremove already purged those. | 16:46 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: well no, beacuse they aren't purged, right? | 16:46 |
| arlion[c] | right, because apt still thinks they are there | 16:46 |
| IonutVan_ | anyway, for me doesn't matter, I just use a different distro | 16:46 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ any idea what the download url is for that box? | 16:47 |
| IonutVan_ | https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/xenial64 | 16:47 |
| IonutVan_ | i have to go, thanks | 16:47 |
| TomyWork | not their web interface | 16:47 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: so were those files manually deleted by someon else? | 16:47 |
| arlion[c] | possible, but I seriously doubt it | 16:48 |

| nacc | arlion[c]: you could try dpkg -P --force-all <pkgname> ? | 16:48 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: given that you don't need those packages anymore, it's probably ok to force things | 16:49 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: nt usually recommended | 16:49 |
| arlion[c] | which package, there are a few listed there | 16:49 |
| nacc | arlion[c]: i mean, you could do linux-image-*3.19* or those three listed in te paste | 16:50 |
| TomyWork | <nacc> TomyWork: yes, becasue more than likely you need the same change as similar devices from the vendor | 16:50 |
| TomyWork | there's a "Broadcom BCM20702A0" up in "btusb_table" | 16:51 |

| TomyWork | nacc will do :) | 16:52 |
| nacc | TomyWork: sorry about that -- iw as sort of guessing on what is correc,t as i know nothing about the hardware in practice | 16:52 |
| arlion[c] | nacc: i need to go, ill pick this up in a bit | 16:53 |
| TomyWork | nacc i'll try if i can get the build process from the link going, as that seems to be much quicker | 16:54 |

| Nuentoter | question, is there ANY way to still get software for ubuntu gutsy? it is the only ubuntu distro that wants to work with this old laptop | 17:05 |
| ducasse | !eolupgrade | Nuentoter use the old-releases repo as detailed here | 17:07 |
| ubottu | Nuentoter use the old-releases repo as detailed here: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 17:07 |
| Nuentoter | I do not wish to upgrade though, upgrading breaks the laptop, I just need to get a couple programs up and running then it will never see the internet again | 17:09 |
| zx2c4 | Hey -- any ubuntu devs here that could point me to some documentation describing exactly the process and criteria for how packages flow from debian into ubuntu, and how and when updates of those work? | 17:10 |
| ducasse | Nuentoter: read what i wrote. | 17:10 |
| Nuentoter | i did, will the old-release repo's contain things outside of the upgrade software though? or have they been trimmed? | 17:12 |
| ducasse | Nuentoter: should contain everything afaik. | 17:13 |
| Nuentoter | oh ok cool | 17:13 |
| Nuentoter | I just need something like chrome or opera to run in kiosk mode | 17:13 |
| Nuentoter | although i'll b surprised if chrome works | 17:14 |
| ducasse | chrome won't be there, that's not in the repos. | 17:14 |
| nacc | neither is opera | 17:14 |
| nacc | afaik; and that's not a gutsy statement | 17:14 |
| OerHeks | Nuentoter, i hope 64 bit, else you might fail with chrome | 17:15 |
| nicomachus | s/might/will/ | 17:15 |
| Nuentoter | nope, its 32 :( | 17:15 |
| nicomachus | Nuentoter: Chrome doesn't support 32 bit anymore. | 17:15 |
| Nuentoter | shit | 17:15 |
| nicomachus | language. | 17:15 |
| Nuentoter | sorry | 17:15 |
| Nuentoter | dagnabbit | 17:15 |
| nicomachus | Chromium may. | 17:16 |
| OerHeks | no flash .. | 17:16 |
| Nuentoter | I dont care if its supported anymore, if I can install an old one, it wont be going online, just needs to load one simple webpage from our internal server | 17:16 |
| nicomachus | OerHeks: Chromium can do flash. | 17:16 |
| ducasse | iirc, opera 12 used to be in the repos | 17:16 |
| nicomachus | 11:16 <+Torne> we don't actively maintain 32-bit support, but we haven't | 17:17 |
| nicomachus | explicitly removed it either; it's mostly up to downstream linux | 17:17 |
| nicomachus | distros who package binaries to maintain | 17:17 |
| nicomachus | from #chromium dudes. | 17:17 |
| Nuentoter | i thought opera was in repo but not sure about how far back though | 17:17 |
| ducasse | Nuentoter: change your sources and find out :) | 17:19 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 17:19 |
| Nuentoter | thats what i'm doing right now, urrgg havent used vim in forever, can't remember keyboard shortcuts for everything lol | 17:19 |
| nicomachus | man vim | 17:20 |
| Nuentoter | i think its the only editor on gutsy server edition | 17:20 |
| nicomachus | nano should be default | 17:20 |
| Nuentoter | ooh | 17:21 |
| Nuentoter | yay nano exists | 17:21 |
| TomyWork | nacc it works \o/ | 17:22 |
| TomyWork | nacc i did only the steps before the sudo steps, then did sudo rmmod btusb && sudo insmod drivers/bluetooth/btusb.ko | 17:24 |
| TomyWork | (inside the kernel source tree) | 17:24 |
| TomyWork | i'll test it a bit to see if i can actually connect something | 17:25 |
| TomyWork | then i'll download a current kernel source and rebuild that with the inserted line :) | 17:26 |
| Nuentoter | seems to be working ok so far, getting link2 on it so I can surf around from it a bit, i hope | 17:30 |
| TomyWork | you said i should use changelog to distinguish it from the stock kernel. what do i need to do? "dch -v 4.4.0-53.74~14.04.1-tomy1" or something? | 17:31 |

| coredump | People, I know that someone must ask this here like every month but I am thinkoing on a T460s for my work laptop (going back to Linux from a MBP that is literally hell). How does this config looks https://i.gyazo.com/b81bc87c641d2ad1263fedbc68c16ff2.png | 17:34 |
| dym | Hey people! I migrated my openvpn server from a 14.04 to 16.04 machine by copying the config dirs. Now the "server openvpn start" command wont start the server.conf configuration. It does, if i manually call the dameon with --config server.conf though. any thoughts? | 17:34 |
| coredump | I am avoiding WQHD because apparently that doesn’t work well enough for me to be comfortable with it. | 17:34 |
| TomyWork | dym <Captain Obvious> the default config file location must have changed | 17:35 |
| dym | TomyWork: Like /etc/openvpn/? :D | 17:35 |
| dym | It hasnt. | 17:35 |
| TomyWork | dym the name, maybe? | 17:39 |
| dym | /etc/openvpn/server.conf | 17:39 |
| dym | i though the upstart script recognizes the configurations in /etc/openvpn/ anyways? | 17:39 |
| nicomachus | dym: 14.04 was upstart, but 16.04 uses systemd instead | 17:41 |
| c_nick | Hi, I am using robocopy to copy the files from one folder to another, but if the folder is missing robocopy outputs the error message (0x02) but the batch script ERRORLEVEL has error code 16 | 17:41 |
| dym | nicomachus: sorry, yes - i meant "service ..." | 17:42 |
| dym | isnt this systemd? | 17:42 |
| Random832 | c_nick, errorlevel from robocopy is explained here http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy-exit.html - it's not related to system error codes (where 2 is ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) | 17:43 |
| nicomachus | dym: make sure you're using the full path. systemd needs it, but upstart didn't. upstart could use $PATH but systemd needs an absolute path | 17:44 |
| c_nick | Random832, isnt the ERRORLEVEL variable in the batch job supposed to store the output of Robocopy ? How can i get the ouput of Robocopy in a batch job? | 17:45 |
| Random832 | errorlevel stores the exit status which is the value described in that page. Why do you want the output? | 17:45 |
| dym | nicomachus: http://script.quakenet.org/paste/2837008 | 17:45 |
| TomyWork | nacc hmm it doesn't *quite* work. it kinda does seem to work for a while, then it goes into a state where bt-adapter -l just waits for a while then says "bt-adapter: bluez service is not found Did you forget to run bluetoothd?" | 17:47 |
| TomyWork | even though that service is running | 17:47 |
| dym | nicomachus: whereas "openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf" does work, but not daemonized. | 17:47 |
| c_nick | Random832, I want the return code of Rococopy | 17:48 |
| c_nick | so i shoud use ERRORLEVEL right ? | 17:48 |
| nicomachus | dym: maybe this can help: http://askubuntu.com/questions/626771/migrate-basic-upstart-script-to-systemd | 17:48 |
| nicomachus | and this is always worth the read when making the switch: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers | 17:48 |
| dym | NoImNotNineVolt: sorry, maybe i misphrased. I did not migrate the ubuntu upstart scripts. | 17:49 |
| dym | nicomachus: * | 17:49 |
| dym | i only migrated the openvpn configuration | 17:49 |
| c_nick | Random832, why is the batch file generating system error codes ? All i am doing is Robocopy src dest | 17:49 |
| dym | which makes it more odd | 17:49 |
| TomyWork | nacc in that state, bluetoothd seems to be churning in place, according to strace. | 17:50 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | ah. | 17:51 |
| dym | Sorry NoImNotNineVolt :) | 17:51 |
| dym | Didnt mean to wake you | 17:51 |

| coxn | I'm wondering if another livepatch user can explain what I see here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/200a408682701fbc5a761bf158442537 | 17:55 |
| coxn | livepatch reports "fully-patched: true" at -51, but I see a -53 installed via apt | 17:56 |
| c_nick | Random832, anyways thanks a lot your information really helped .. ciaos | 17:56 |
| Random832 | c_nick, the system error code tells you as the user what the specific failure was - i.e. that a file was not found. errorlevel just tells you *that* it failed, which is all a batch file really needs to decide not to continue. | 18:00 |
| === for{} is now known as AsymmetricalFace | ||
| Random832 | c_nick, it's like if you used cp to copy some file, it prints "filename: No such file or directory", but $? is just 1 vs 0 for success. robocopy reports slightly more information for "success but something odd happened", which is why its failure status is 16. | 18:02 |
| coxn | oh I think I get it | 18:02 |
| coxn | $ sudo canonical-livepatch status --verbose |grep last-check | 18:02 |
| coxn | last-check: 2016-12-07T12:29:03.276012-05:00 | 18:02 |
| coxn | its update stream is completely independent (and behind) | 18:03 |
| Random832 | like how grep will return 1 for no matches but 2 for a real error. | 18:03 |
| coxn | is there a place where I can see the timing/scheduling/history of livepatch releases? | 18:03 |
| coxn | and/or is there a way to cause livepatch to do a check? | 18:03 |

I was having some problems with booting the live usb disk, but eventually I figured it out. Here is the problem, My Laptop does not shutdown when I click on shutdown icons, I pressed F8 while shutting down, is says [Will now halt/restart]. How can I solve this.(Unfortunately none of the internet suggestion | 18:08 |

| mqu | hello! i met a strange problem could you help me to figure out? | 18:12 |
| wabbits | what is the problem? | 18:12 |
| mqu | everything started when i tried to run some jar applet which should draw some UI: https://s3.amazonaws.com/java_101/m0/e2/m0e2HW.jar | 18:12 |
| mqu | X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation); 154 (GLX) | 18:13 |
| mqu | 24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext) | 18:13 |
| mqu | and I get the following weird problem, I blame java at first | 18:13 |
| mqu | but then I realized that it most likely system problem. "glxinfo" gets me the same problem | 18:14 |
| sencer | Can anyone help me with my problem? | 18:14 |
| Nuentoter | @sencer in terminal will it shutdown sith command? | 18:14 |
| mqu | what can I check to figure out the problem? | 18:14 |
| sencer | Sometimes it does, but after some config at grub files it does not somehow | 18:14 |
| mqu | i think there's some problem with nvidia driver problem in ubuntu | 18:15 |
| mqu | tried reinstalling but didn't help | 18:15 |
| le_pig | In the way that Debian has "suites", like stable, unstable, etc., does Ubuntu have an analogue? This would be different than codenames, like Trusty, Utopic, etc. | 18:15 |
| sencer | @mqu Nvidia? are you talking to me? sorry I didn't understand | 18:16 |
| mqu | sencer: no, i tried to describe my own problem xd | 18:16 |
| sencer | @Nuentoter But I was able to shutdown via terminal why wouldn't the button don't work ? | 18:17 |
| sencer | @mqu Ah xD sorry, but I'm thinking that my problem is about nvidia too ?.. | 18:17 |
| Nuentoter | im assuming your using unity? | 18:17 |
| * uxfi +++_ | 18:18 | |
| sencer | @Nuentoter Exactly! | 18:18 |
| sencer | @Nuentoter I can send you more details about the problem ? | 18:18 |
| Nuentoter | using the cairo dock? | 18:18 |
| sencer | @Nuentoter Well to be honest I don't know what that is but Unity I mean the standard desktop and the icons on the top right corner | 18:20 |
| Nuentoter | if you logout first can you shutdown then? | 18:21 |

| lakitu | or where should i find a list | 18:33 |
| lakitu | i've heard nvidiia | 18:34 |
| lakitu | nvidia | 18:34 |
| lakitu | but the one i bought doesn't seem fully comptaible | 18:34 |
| lakitu | compatible | 18:34 |
| Nuentoter | whatcha got lakitu | 18:34 |
| Nuentoter | ? | 18:34 |
| sencer | Yes is does include that line | 18:34 |
| lakitu | i have to reinstall an old graphics card just to install the os, then re put in my new one | 18:34 |
| sencer | @Nuentoter What else do I search for ? | 18:35 |
| lakitu | & it's hard to see the pci slot, & all this | 18:35 |
| lakitu | Nuentoter: i'd have to look. a 70$ but highly rated nvidia card | 18:35 |
| lakitu | i'm not gaming, so don't need much more than videos & desktop effects | 18:35 |
| ducasse | lakitu: older amd cards that use the radeon driver are often rock solid, but it depends on the use case | 18:36 |
| lakitu | i have a sapphire 5770, but it wasn't compatible enough | 18:36 |
| lakitu | bummer, cause i spent like 275$ on it | 18:36 |
| lakitu | i've been struggling to reseat this old gpu for like 15-20 minutes. really frustrating | 18:37 |
| ducasse | lakitu: best approach is to find a model you like, then ask for experiences with that exact card | 18:37 |
| black91 | 750 ti does the trick for all games | 18:37 |
| lakitu | well, anyone know of a very compatible linux card for say kubuntu, that can play videos too, besides desktop effects | 18:37 |
| black91 | 750 ti and gtx 1070 work well with ubuntu/ | 18:38 |
| lakitu | what price range, black91 | 18:38 |
| sencer | I got 780Ti by the way works just fine don't even know why they need 1000 series for :) | 18:38 |
| black91 | 750 is like 120* | 18:38 |
| lakitu | cool | 18:38 |
| lakitu | who makes that | 18:39 |
| lakitu | gtx - amd? | 18:39 |
| black91 | nvid | 18:39 |
| sencer | Nuentoter: Any help? | 18:39 |
| Nuentoter | sencer: try adding line " X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=20 " to ~/.config/autostart | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | heh, I have an entry level nvidia 840GS that cost 40 bucks , works great , as long as you're not a gamer it's fine fore HTPC/media/videos etc | 18:40 |
| lakitu | err yeah, that's what i meant | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | 8400GS | 18:40 |
| Nuentoter | sometimes cairo i guess can cause problems and the delay can help order things out | 18:40 |
| black91 | 1070 total waste of money, not much difference then 950 imo | 18:40 |
| lakitu | i will have like 4 monitors at least, with desktop effects tho | 18:40 |
| BluesKaj | if you don't gane you probly don't need anything over 100bucks | 18:41 |
| lakitu | do you think a 750/780 ti can handle it? | 18:41 |
| lakitu | maybe a tv stream or w/e | 18:41 |
| lakitu | too | 18:41 |
| sencer | Nuentoter: There is not a directory "/.config/autostart" ? when I call the directory with "gedit" it just opens a blank document ? | 18:41 |
| black91 | id like to pump the 750 its a decent card | 18:41 |
| black91 | could do it no problem | 18:41 |
| ducasse | lakitu: 4 screens or more might be a problem, you need to check that. | 18:43 |
| lakitu | how/where do i check that | 18:43 |
| lakitu | i guess for one, i'd need enough video heads (on the gpus) | 18:44 |
| mikeymop | quick question. 16.04 systemd, do we still use modprobe to (un)load kmods? | 18:44 |

| ducasse | lakitu: number of outputs, and how many separate outputs it supports over dp for example. | 18:44 |
| lakitu | i get tired of newer oses not having normal hardware compatibility. my big problem with mint was it didn't support half my hardware | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | don't beleive all the hype, most pcie gpus are overkill for most users | 18:44 |
| mikeymop | and now you're selecting your h/w based on the OS you want? | 18:45 |
| lakitu | apple requires i buy all apple hardware, including replacements & upgrades | 18:45 |
| lakitu | this is a small price compared to that | 18:45 |
| lakitu | for kde/kubuntu | 18:45 |
| mikeymop | iirc apple h/w works okay on linux except for the models w/ broadcomm wireless, in which case you need to use their binaries | 18:46 |
| black91 | linux can run pretty much everything anyway | 18:46 |
| black91 | only had a few issues with proprietary chips | 18:46 |
| lakitu | i have basic newer hardware, & a lot of the times i had compatibility issues | 18:46 |
| black91 | but even those | 18:46 |
| lakitu | basic/popular | 18:46 |
| lakitu | makes me think i didn't do enough research; hence this, now | 18:46 |
| lakitu | asking questions. | 18:46 |
| black91 | i go for basic/popular too | 18:46 |
| lakitu | it's probably a good idea, for compatibility reasons | 18:47 |
| lakitu | now i think i shoudl just look up each piece of hardware, & if it's not, see what is recommended for my os | 18:47 |

| IonutVan_ | TomyWork, as you can see this issue was reported since 2016-04-12 and nobody cares about it. So, I don't expect any update on it :) | 19:04 |
| TomyWork | IonutVan_ or maybe you have just always been cursing about this instead of presenting the issue in a civil manner. | 19:05 |
| === or4n_ is now known as or4n | ||

| mikeymop | quick question. 16.04 systemd, do we still use modprobe to (un)load kmods? | 19:09 |
| mikeymop | Ubuntu documentation just has a general article covering as far back as 12.04 so i cant be sure | 19:10 |
| EriC^^ | mikeymop: by kmods you mean kernel modules? | 19:10 |
| mikeymop | yea | 19:10 |
| EriC^^ | mikeymop: yeah, | 19:10 |
| mikeymop | awesome, thanks | 19:10 |

| Sleaker | hi. I'm working on trying to create a systemd socket similar to an old inetd socket with upstart and having a bit of trouble getting it all enabled. I'm wanting x11vnc to run on port 5903 whenever a connection comes through on that port. | 19:19 |
| Sleaker | this is my socket file. I put it in /lib/systemd/system and it enables properly. | 19:20 |
| Sleaker | http://pastebin.com/H8ny6pfp | 19:20 |
| Sleaker | but when I try to have an @.service file associated with it it doesn't seem like systemctl recognizes it at all. | 19:20 |
| Sleaker | here's the @.service file: http://pastebin.com/C3VAt66h | 19:21 |
| cvende | Hello all, I need some linux knowledge: I have a netbook which I go to class with, and a workstation at home, I would like to sync my class folder (mainly odt and pdf) on both linux, what should I use, nfs or rsync? | 19:26 |
| ahi2 | in 16.04 the ethernet connection is no longer eth0. it is enp2s0. anyone know why? | 19:26 |
| Sleaker | ahi2: kernel naming changed | 19:26 |
| ahi2 | anyway to fix it | 19:27 |
| Sleaker | it's to prevent swapped cards from getting the same hardware names | 19:27 |
| Sleaker | you can pass in a kernel parameter to switch to the old-style names if you really want to do that. | 19:27 |
| ahi2 | ok | 19:27 |
| ahi2 | what is the parameter | 19:28 |
| Sleaker | there's also a file you can adjust for this: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 19:29 |
| ducasse | ahi2: it is strongly recommended to just get used to it, as this is the way it will be from now on | 19:30 |
| mikeymop | http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-CPU-AMD-GFX-Rumor-Back | 19:30 |
| Sleaker | that has information on what and why, and how to switch off. | 19:30 |
| mikeymop | ths makes me sad, if I use nvidia I will have to have both big drivers on my machine | 19:30 |
| Sleaker | mikeymop: aye | 19:30 |
| ahi2 | thansk sleaker | 19:30 |
| Sleaker | any comments on my question above? | 19:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Sleaker better repeat the question, instea of referring to it | 19:31 |
| Nuentoter | ok having trouble with xorg and stuff, originally had slim, just installed kdm, used apt-get remove to remove slim and now it still wants to start it. using reconfigure it still shows slim and gdm and kdm, how do I remove these? | 19:33 |
| troop | hello. when i activate chroot sftp jail for a user it can't uses ssh anymore. is there any tutorial about creating ssh&sftp jail together? | 19:33 |
| troop | thank you | 19:33 |
| Sleaker | I'm trying to convert a inetd socket to systemd, I have a unit file for the socket it activates properly. I have an *@.service file, but systemd doesn't seem to recognize it. to enable it do I just symlink it into the /etc/systemd/system folder? | 19:33 |
| Sleaker | I can't really find any docs on the associated @service for a socket. | 19:33 |
| Sleaker | and systemctl doesn't recognize them | 19:34 |
| Sleaker | even the builtins. | 19:34 |
| jhutchins | Sleaker: What about if you set it up exactly as you would for init and let the compatibility feature handle it? | 19:35 |
| Sleaker | jhutchins: that requires running inetd commands which don't exist? | 19:36 |
| Sleaker | or is that still in there | 19:37 |
| jhutchins | Sleaker: I only have a vague idea of what you're talking about, but if commands no longer exist, systemd should have some method of dealing with them. | 19:38 |
| Sleaker | yah, no inetd command on the system. also this is for a deployable ltsp5 image, so installing more packages just for a compat layer is.. iffy. | 19:38 |
| Sleaker | jhutchins: the replacement for inetd sockets is systemd unit file sockets though? | 19:38 |
| Sleaker | I don't think there's any sort of compat layer for that | 19:38 |
| mustmodify | If I'm ssh'd into a machine and I get disconnected somehow, what happens to that session / whatever is running? I thought I remembered that running processes would be killed. But I just had an experience where it looked like everything finished normally. | 19:39 |
| MonkeyDust | mustmodify consider using 'screen' | 19:39 |
| jhutchins | mustmodify: Some processes will complete, some will die. | 19:39 |
| jhutchins | mustmodify: Yes, screen ensures that the session will stay open and processes complete. | 19:40 |
| MonkeyDust | !screen | mustmodify | 19:40 |
| ubottu | mustmodify: screen is a window manager for terminal sessions, also useful over SSH. The 'byobu' package provides very useful additional utilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 19:40 |
| mikeymop | Sleaker: dont you need a wantedby= * | 19:43 |
| Sleaker | none of the examples for @services indicate that | 19:43 |
| Sleaker | the sockets include that | 19:43 |
| mikeymop | let me do some more reading | 19:44 |
| mikeymop | I've only wrote a few simple units so | 19:44 |
| Sleaker | maybe the @ unit just gets instanced and put in there only when it gets run? | 19:44 |
| mikeymop | on a support call 1s | 19:44 |
| Sleaker | ah man I got it working :-/ | 19:45 |
| Sleaker | I just didn't run systemctl start socketname.socket after enableing the socket. lol | 19:45 |
| Sleaker | so yah, I was correct. @ services don't show up in systemctl they just need the @.service file in the lib dir and then the socket automatically finds them and such. as long as the unit file for the socket is enabled and then started everything 'just works' | 19:47 |
| mustmodify | if I ssh in to a machine then `ps aux | {{my_username}}` I get two ssh-relevant entries... why two? Why is one of them owned by root? https://gist.github.com/mustmodify/ac195b5caf08063d71a260e9b848de68 | 19:47 |
| mikeymop | Sleaker: gotcha, thanks for the resolutino | 19:47 |
| mikeymop | glad you got it | 19:48 |
| mikeymop | mustmodify: last time you ssh'd did you use 'exit' | 19:48 |
| mustmodify | mikeymop: I typically do but there was an instance recently where I was disconnected during a deploy, which uses SSH. | 19:48 |
| mikeymop | then the session will remain open | 19:49 |
| mikeymop | i usually pkill them | 19:49 |
| mikeymop | had like 15 once because an android app i used didn't use exit | 19:49 |
| mikeymop | switched to juicessh | 19:49 |
| mustmodify | I see... both of these were started recently, and at the same time... | 19:49 |
| mustmodify | so I assumed they were related? | 19:49 |
| Sleaker | ssh spawns 2 processes normally doesn't it? | 19:50 |
| Sleaker | mine does. | 19:50 |
| Sleaker | this is sshd NOT ssh btw. | 19:50 |
| mustmodify | right. | 19:50 |
| mustmodify | sshd | 19:50 |
| mustmodify | so why is one of them owned by root? | 19:50 |
| mustmodify | I don't have sudo privileges or anything... | 19:50 |
| Sleaker | that's the actual server process. | 19:51 |
| mustmodify | the one owned by root is the actual server process... | 19:51 |
| mustmodify | well what's the other one? | 19:51 |
| Sleaker | your interactive shell | 19:51 |
| Sleaker | that's why it has a pts/* | 19:51 |
| mikeymop | mustmodify: missed your gist, sorry | 19:52 |
| mikeymop | Sleaker: so what does this unit do? spawn a vnc process for the host or one per host | 19:55 |
| mikeymop | auto starts the deamon right? | 19:55 |
| Sleaker | mikeymop: ah yah this is for an ltsp5 environment to spawn a x11vnc process automatically when a connection comes through on 5903 | 20:02 |
| Sleaker | our old ltsp4 env you could screen-share by just connecting to the host and probing the different displays since everything was run on the server. but ltsp5 runs X on the actual thin clients. | 20:03 |
| Sleaker | so to do screen sharing I'm having to setup x11vnc stuff over tunneled ssh and just trying to get it all scripted so our support guys don't have to manually type in a bucnh of commands everytime they need to screenshare to see what the end user is trying to do | 20:04 |
| Sleaker | using a socket with inetd/systemd gets rid of the need to have them sudo/su as root etc. | 20:05 |
| Sleaker | and yah it's a per-connection thing, but then I've limited it to a single connection. | 20:06 |
| Sleaker | the main server system is still running trusty with upstart, so it was using the inetd method for this. | 20:06 |
| Sleaker | is that enough info mikeymop ? haha | 20:07 |
| mikeymop | thats very interesting | 20:09 |
| mikeymop | so you'd ssh in and a vnc connection would be established under the user that ssh'd and then they can just open thier vnc client and connect? | 20:09 |
| mikeymop | i'm surprised such a simple unit can do all that | 20:09 |
| Sleaker | better than that. | 20:10 |
| Sleaker | the tunnel doesn't cause the service to run. it wont run the x11vnc server script until you actually try to open a vnc client on the port. | 20:10 |
| Sleaker | and the x11vnc script is just this: /usr/bin/x11vnc -inetd -q -once -display :7 -auth guess -timeout 30 | 20:11 |
| Sleaker | although I think I left off the -rfbport 5903 thing on there | 20:12 |
| Sleaker | or it might not need it since it's launched with -inetd option | 20:12 |
| Sleaker | and it's smart enough to see which socket to link with | 20:12 |
| Sleaker | kernel stuff makes it 'just work' or somesuch. | 20:13 |
| mikeymop | totally stealing this | 20:13 |
| JamesB | Hello. I started using the most recent Ubuntu, and my auth.log and syslog are entirely full of systemd related spam. Is there any way to remove this entirely? | 20:13 |

| justPie | or even after i reboot | 20:45 |
| linelevel | ^ Running Ubuntu 16.04 | 20:45 |
| justPie | linelevel: I think you're looking for init.d | 20:46 |
| Sleaker | linelevel: it depends on what DM you're using but most DMs have a place to setup stuff like that. | 20:46 |
| Sleaker | if you want it user-specific. | 20:46 |

| linelevel | Sleaker: Unity | 20:46 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: Did that too, lol. | 20:46 |
| justPie | I'll try it again real quick to make myself feel better | 20:46 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: sorry | 20:47 |
| Sleaker | linelevel: generally init.d/systemd scripts will run at boot yes, depends on what their dependencies are. | 20:47 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | EriC^^: dd is still doing it's stuff | 20:47 |
| Sleaker | if you want to set it up as a user-level run only when you login I believe Unity has a place to configure that but I'm not familiar with unity. | 20:47 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: No need to be sorry! This issue is been a headache for awhile. Been using a usb wifi stick in the meantime. Thanks! | 20:48 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | EriC^^: its done | 20:48 |
| ioria | linelevel, you can use a service unit with graphical.target or simply go in Autostart | 20:48 |
| linelevel | Sleaker: What if I just want to run a script (not a service) upon boot, but the script will add something to the Unity toolbar, so that needs to be loaded before this runs. | 20:49 |
| Sleaker | 'service unit' == systemd way. 'Autostart' == Unity way. | 20:49 |

| mirak | hi | 20:50 |
| ioria | linelevel, if you need a gui, you don't have much of a choice | 20:50 |
| mirak | can i plug a pci express 1x card in a pci express 16x slot ? | 20:50 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: Just tried doing the make/make install again. I run modprobe and nothing happens. I do ifconfig and no wifi driver | 20:51 |
| Sleaker | mirak: 1x and 16x generally have different form-factor plugs | 20:51 |
| mirak | not really | 20:51 |
| mirak | Sleaker, not really, | 20:51 |
| nicomachus | also, more of a question for ##hardware than here. | 20:51 |
| mirak | ok thanks | 20:51 |
| GFXDude | mirak, PCI-X and standard PCI are cross compatible, BUT if you put a standard PCI card in a PCI-X slot then the whole PCI-X BUS will slow down (not just the one slot) | 20:51 |
| mirak | didn't know that channel | 20:52 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: check dmesg | 20:52 |
| GFXDude | PCI-e is entirely different and not compatible with either PCI or PCI-X | 20:52 |
| Sleaker | oh I'm thinking the smaller x4 slot maybe. | 20:52 |
| linelevel | loria: Sleaker: Okay, so here is my actual use case. There is a service called `foo` which is already configured. It starts on boot and I can control it with `service foo start/stop/restart/etc`. I want to run *additional instances* of this service with different configurations, and I've already confirmed that I can do this by running something like `HOME=$HOME/.foo/conf2 service foo start`. Now I want to run that upon boot. When started, that | 20:52 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: Ive never used dmsg before. What am i looking for? | 20:52 |
| linelevel | ^ Let me know if that cut off due to length. | 20:52 |
| nicomachus | ioria ^ | 20:52 |
| linelevel | nicomachus: Thanks.. | 20:53 |
| mirak | it's PCIe 1x, not PCI-X | 20:53 |
| ioria | linelevel, what your service/script does exactly ? | 20:54 |
| linelevel | ioria: The service is from a third-party. | 20:54 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: check lspci | 20:54 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | you should see if it sees it | 20:54 |
| ioria | linelevel, ok.... and ? | 20:54 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | and what it thinks it is | 20:54 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: lspci sees it 04:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5592 PCIe Wireless Network Adapter | 20:54 |
| linelevel | ioria: It's dropbox. I want to run multiple instances of the dropbox service, and as stated above, this is possible by giving each additional instance a false HOME directory. | 20:55 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: by the way, do you do ifconfig -a? | 20:55 |
| Sleaker | linelevel: so copy the service file into a new one with the new options | 20:55 |
| Sleaker | and name it something slightly different? | 20:56 |
| ioria | linelevel, oh, sorry... don't know much about dropbox | 20:56 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: http://pastebin.com/wvsP7VJD | 20:56 |
| justPie | wlx60a44cec637e is my usb wifi | 20:56 |
| linelevel | ioria: Right, but this question doesn't really depend on the specifics of dropbox, which is why I stated it in generic terms initially. | 20:56 |
| linelevel | Sleaker: Wouldn't it be easier to just run a script that itself runs `HOME=<whatever> service dropbox start` rather than copying the service file? | 20:57 |
| Sleaker | linelevel: that's not how services work | 20:57 |
| Sleaker | you need a file for each instance. | 20:57 |
| ioria | linelevel, have you tried Autostart ? | 20:57 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: eno0 is it | 20:57 |
| Sleaker | or make a new script that does exactly what you're stating. | 20:57 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | i checked the mac address | 20:57 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | E0-3F-49-AC-5E-06ASUSTek COMPUTER INC., TAIWAN | 20:57 |
| linelevel | Sleaker: This does work. If I type `HOME=$HOME/.dropbox/conf2 service dropbox start`, then everything works fine. It starts a second instance of the service that runs along-side the first. | 20:57 |
| Sleaker | instead of including the full other script. | 20:57 |
| linelevel | Sleaker: Now I'm just trying to figure out how to get this to run on startup. | 20:58 |

| MDTech-us_MAN | MonkeyDust: But... why? | 21:09 |
| justPie | Does anyone have any experience installing wifi drivers that don't play nice with ubuntu 16.04? The card in question is asus PCE-n53. The card shows up in lspci but doesn't show up in iwconfig. I compiled the drivers using make and make install. I then ran modprobe right after with no luck. Anyone have any ideas? | 21:09 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | what driver does lspci -v show it's using? | 21:11 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | does lsmod show the correct driver? | 21:11 |
| justPie | NoImNotNineVolt: http://pastebin.com/hCRZPJH0 | 21:12 |
| justPie | I did a grep on lsmod and this what it returns. "rt5592sta 1146880 0" | 21:13 |
| justPie | don't know what it means though | 21:13 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | the first field is the module name, the second is the size, and the third is what it's used by. | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | loaded but not used. are you sure it's the right driver? | 21:14 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | have you rebooted since? | 21:14 |
| justPie | i haven't rebooted | 21:15 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | if that's not too much of an issue, it's worth a shot. | 21:15 |
| justPie | Ya ill give it a shot. But the driver im using is a patched driver. The one under the product website doesn't compile correctly. | 21:16 |
| petersaints | hi guys. I've noticed that when you enable virtual workspaces in Ubuntu 16.10 nothing happens. Is that a known issue? | 21:17 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | justPie: the guy on the askubuntu aswer said he could ignore the error... | 21:17 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | fyi | 21:18 |
| justPie | The error is "error: macro "__DATE__" might prevent reproducible builds [-Werror=date-time]" | 21:18 |
| MonkeyDust | petersaints ctrl-alt-arrow to switch workspace | 21:18 |
| justPie | MDTech-us_MAN: but it doesn't finish the make process, it just exits? | 21:19 |
| MDTech-us_MAN | check if it created the so | 21:19 |
| justPie | when i run make install it fails | 21:19 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | justPie: is this wifi adapter a rt2860 or an rt5592sta? | 21:19 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | because it's using the rt2860 driver. | 21:20 |
| justPie | interesting... Maybe it was one of my failed attempts | 21:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | if that's not the correct driver, you may need to blacklist it in modprobe or something. | 21:20 |
| justPie | how would i uninstall it? | 21:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | modprobe -R or rmmod or something like that. | 21:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | that'll remove it, but i have no idea how to uninstall it. | 21:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | if you didn't install it from a package, then you're on your own there :P | 21:20 |
| NoImNotNineVolt | (if you did a make install, you can take a look at the makefile and reverse whatever the install target does) | 21:21 |
| justPie | interesting... i try to do rmmod rt2860 and modprobe -r rt2860 and it gives me module not loaded / module not found | 21:26 |
| petersaints | MonkeyDust: That's not it. AFAIK the virtual workspaces get enabled but the grid is define as 1x1. Therefore, Ctrl+Arrows don't work and there's no icon to switch workspaces on the left bar/dock. If change the grid size to 2x2 on the CCSM it starts to work as expected. This is just something I noticed as strange behavior on 16.10 and that I thing that has passed unnoticed for a long time since I couldn't find any reports about this iss | 21:27 |
| petersaints | …an easy fix but it's still a bug. Unless Canonical is doing it on purpose since Unity's 7 virtual workspaces are currently the WORST virtual workspaces implementation across all modern desktops (GNOME Dhr | 21:27 |
| ikonia | justPie: did you check it was actually loaded | 21:27 |
| justPie | ikonia: no. it just says its in use here : http://pastebin.com/hCRZPJH0 | 21:27 |
| petersaints | *(GNOME Shell, KDE Plasma, Cinnamon and even Windows 10 and macOS) | 21:28 |
| justPie | did lsmod | grep 2860 as well and doesn't return anything | 21:28 |
| ikonia | justPie: thats a different module | 21:28 |
| ikonia | it's the rt5592 thats in use | 21:28 |
| justPie | but it says Kernel driver in use: rt2860? | 21:29 |
| ikonia | kernel driver is not the module | 21:29 |
| petersaints | Also, on Unity 8 virtual workspaces are nowhere to be seen. It seems that they will just drop them in the future. It may seem a conspiracy theory but that's how it things seem to be heading. | 21:29 |
| justPie | ah. Yeah, im not a power user. Still suck at this stuff | 21:29 |
| nicomachus | justPie: everyone starts somewhere. | 21:30 |
| justPie | lol, but i started 4 years ago X) | 21:30 |
| === remote_ is now known as remote | ||
| justPie | so, i guess that leaves me confused. Whats rt2860 then? | 21:38 |
| justPie | and if the device is infact using the correct driver then why don't it work | 21:38 |
| marrygrim | what is a good 1gb x4 port server grade nic? | 21:46 |
| nicomachus | marrygrim: try asking in ##hardware or ##networking | 21:47 |
| marrygrim | i am asking here because of the drivers for ubuntu server and desktop-openstack-ubuntu snappy core- virtual box/vm nicomachus | 21:49 |
| nicomachus | marrygrim: most drivers will work just fine. The only one's I've seen issues with are a few select realtek chipsets, but even those are generally fixed pretty quickly (or at least have a workaround). But as a rule, this channel has never done buying recommendations. | 21:50 |

| iresf | hey everyone | 23:17 |
| iresf | how to install libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 on ubuntu 14.04.1 | 23:17 |
| iresf | ? | 23:17 |
| puffinz | Android app deps on google play services is lammmme. | 23:21 |
| \9 | iresf: doesn't look like it exists in the qt packages provided by trusty | 23:23 |
| \9 | iresf: you'll need a ppa, if there is one available. or update to 16.04.1, which is the current LTS, for a Qt version that provides the library | 23:25 |
| \9 | iresf: you can of course compile it yourself but you'll be on your own then | 23:25 |
| iresf | \9 : is it possible to install ? i need to that for android emulator | 23:25 |
| \9 | i just explained... | 23:26 |
| \9 | possibly you could try an older android emulator version that doesn't require it | 23:26 |
| \9 | since you use older stuff in 14.04 anyway | 23:27 |
| \9 | if you need the latest android emulator then you need the latest LTS | 23:27 |
| iresf | i want to run emulator64-x86 by amd cpu on ubuntu 14.04 64 bit that it has that problem | 23:28 |
| iresf | \9 : yes but on ubuntu 16.04 fglrx does not work anymore and i need to fglrx for performance | 23:28 |
| iresf | i think i have to go to the fedora | 23:29 |
| \9 | can't you just install the emulator from the repos? | 23:29 |
| \9 | it seems to be available there | 23:29 |
| \9 | you should be able to get a supported version that way | 23:29 |
| iresf | \9 : installing newest QT library is possible on ubuntu 14.04 ? | 23:36 |
| ikonia | I'd ask yourself why you want to do this | 23:36 |
| \9 | *facepalm* | 23:36 |
| ikonia | as if the distribution is not "shipping it" how would you expect others to use any work you do on it | 23:36 |
| iresf | ikonia : i want to use android emulator64-x86 but it says a bad error | 23:38 |
| ikonia | ok - so why do you want to update the QT version beyond what ubuntu ships ? | 23:38 |
| iresf | becoz the error is about version of qt lib | 23:39 |
| ikonia | issyl0: what's the actual error ? | 23:40 |
| ikonia | ops, sorry issyl0 | 23:40 |
| ikonia | iresf: what's the actual error | 23:40 |
| iresf | libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 => not found | 23:40 |
| ikonia | so it can't find a libray | 23:40 |
| ikonia | why do you think an upgrade will fix that ? | 23:40 |
| iresf | i just thought it should be upgrade | 23:41 |
| ikonia | why ? | 23:41 |
| iresf | to fix | 23:41 |
| ikonia | you have an error about a missing library - and your answer is to upgrade ? | 23:41 |
| ikonia | is that what you're actually saying ? | 23:41 |
| iresf | yh i think | 23:42 |
| ikonia | so thats not going to help you | 23:42 |
| ikonia | as upgrading a package that isn't installed/doesn't exist won't help, | 23:42 |
| ikonia | you need to understand what package provides that file and just install it | 23:42 |
| iresf | ikonia : how to solve it ? | 23:42 |
| ikonia | install the package that contains the file | 23:42 |
| xangua | No qt5 for Ubuntu 14.04 ;-) | 23:43 |
| ikonia | he's on 14.04....? | 23:43 |
| xangua | Yes | 23:43 |
| ikonia | the package looks to be libqt5gui5 | 23:43 |
| koffeinfriedhof | libqt5gui5-gles http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libqt5gui5-gles/filelist | 23:44 |
| ikonia | the Kubuntu project would probably have a maintained PPA for QT5 for 14.04, I'd be surprised if they don't | 23:44 |
| iresf | thank u very much | 23:44 |
| ikonia | why are you giving him xenial packages ? | 23:44 |
| ikonia | he's on 14.04 ? | 23:44 |
| koffeinfriedhof | Sorry, I thought he would do an upgrade. | 23:45 |
| ikonia | http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libqt5gui5 | 23:45 |
| ikonia | looks like there is QT5 for 14.04 | 23:45 |
| xangua | Oh nice | 23:45 |
| iresf | ikonia : but libqt5gui5 have already installed | 23:47 |
| clarkk | I need to get the default /etc/apache2 directory from the deb package, or using a package manager. What is the best way to do this? | 23:48 |
| ikonia | iresf: ok - so search for that missing file, see if it's actually on the file system | 23:48 |
| ikonia | clarkk: when you install the package, it will create the directory for you | 23:48 |
| clarkk | ikonia: I've borked the default directory. | 23:48 |
| ikonia | re-install the package then | 23:48 |
| iresf | the only missing file is libQt5XcbQpa.so.5 that there is in http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libqt5gui5-gles/filelist that is for 16.04.1 | 23:51 |
| iresf | but i want to upgrade whole system to 16.04 because i have installed fglrx on it and then my system will break | 23:53 |
| issyl0 | ikonia: No problem. :-) | 23:55 |
| infinitephantasm | hello, can someone help me with a bit of a problem trying to run linux 2.6.38-10-generic on 16.04? | 23:59 |
| Ben64 | infinitephantasm: yes. don't | 23:59 |
| infinitephantasm | well, i kinda need to in order to get a driver installed | 23:59 |
| infinitephantasm | and so far that's the only working solution i've seen so far | 23:59 |
| Ben64 | no you don't | 23:59 |
