[00:00] what is the file [00:01] 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] ercx2x: man xdotool [00:03] that's what I'm reading [00:04] it says you can read commands from a file by doing "xdotool filename" [00:05] I simply get an unknown command if I type that in my terminal [00:05] ah ok i get what you're saying now [00:06] what is in your file [00:07] and/or what error exactly do you get from trying xdotool filename [00:07] I made some progress. I changed the permissions on the file to 777 and simply typed ./filename [00:07] the file has xdotool commands inside and it seems to be working [00:08] 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 [00:20] anybody who has an experience use SiI 3114 RAID1 on ubuntu... can anybody help me? [00:20] crap, can you not do loops in xdotools? I dont see the word loop anywhere in their documentation [00:20] https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/xdotool.xhtml [00:25] 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] s/protable/portable/ [00:27] that means use softraid instead of the hardware? [00:27] nevermind my previous question i guess i can use sh files and those allow loops [00:29] @Jordan_U , my raid function is not provided by the motherboard, there's a RAID card provide this function [00:29] 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. [00:31] 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 [00:33] freechoice: it's likely in the kernel and will "just work" ... try a livecd to see [00:33] I will restart its system and see if this is a bug or I am really confused why I cant get rid of files :) [00:34] @Ben64, thanks a lot, pal [00:41] 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. [00:42] @ben64: livecd means the desktop image? [00:43] freechoice: yeah [00:43] does anyone know a good article the describes how to use upstart to deploy/serve a node.js app? [00:43] I wanna install a server version, maybe that the server image doesn't provide that [00:43] im trying to follow this https://gist.github.com/willrstern/3510ecef59c3f76b0152 [00:43] i'll try [00:44] but im getting this error [00:44] start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.198" (uid=1000 pid=6580 comm="start node-app ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init ") === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya [00:49] 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). [00:50] @Jordan_U: got that , thanks a lot [00:54] help! non-root user can't upload files in sftp === Bnaya_ is now known as Bnaya [00:57] before when i would run my node process would run in the background and wouldn't be bound to the shell [00:57] for whatever reason that is no longer the case [00:58] ie my app goes offline when i close the shell [00:58] can anyone tell me what might be going on? [00:58] or how to properly run my node process in the background so it doesn't go down when I close the shell? [00:59] leptone_ Don't you need nohup? [01:02] nohup should work [01:07] tried using nohop seemed to work [01:08] found another solution which is to use a module called pm2 [01:08] thx for the responsesn! [01:21] I long time ago I used a sort of keyboard shortcut that frozen my keyboard / terminal ... anyone remembers that? [01:22] ctrl+s/q [01:28] Hi, how can I troubleshoot my wifi card, downloads drop at 0b/s after a few sec and I loose all network capabilities for a few minutes. Some infos : https://gist.github.com/Nox-404/7645b3b7d6eadac64862fccf14551f31 [01:32] Elion: does it happen on all networks? [01:32] yes, but only with the wifi card and only on linux [01:38] Can I make a custom shortcut on ubuntu to launch an application with Ctrl+shift+esc? [01:39] Elion: Have you looked at this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/845335/direct-firmware-load-for-iwlwifi-7265d-ucode-failed-with-error-2 [01:40] TikityTik: yes, go to settings>keyboard>shortcuts [01:40] TikityTik: make a new shortcut with the application you want to launch [01:40] PickledEggs: Well I set it to ctrl+shift+escape but it's not working [01:40] PickledEggs: does it work for you? [01:40] TikityTik: then click Disabled and it will prompt for the key combo [01:41] PickledEggs: well i set it to ctrl+shift+esc but it still doesn't work [01:42] PickledEggs: does that combination work for you? [01:42] TikityTik: let me try [01:45] TikityTik: no, it doesn't seem to [01:45] PickledEggs: that's annoying, I wanted to get to get my task manager program bound to ctrl+shift+esc D: [01:46] is it a bug? [01:46] unsure, sorry [01:47] how can i report it as a bug? [01:48] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [01:50] 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] nd makes the "mounted" icon in the file browser blink, so I'm assuming it's being instantly remounted [01:50] oh, i feel bad [01:50] PickledEggs: I added the missing firmware and it fixed the "Direct firmware load error code -2" error, but I still have the same problem [01:51] TikityTik: seems to be mentioned here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/176195 and here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/158855 [01:51] Launchpad bug 1497490 in compiz (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #176195 escape key bindings with or without modifiers do not work" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [01:51] Launchpad bug 1497490 in compiz (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #158855 escape key bindings with or without modifiers do not work" [Wishlist,Confirmed] [01:52] PickledEggs: Am I able to try to fix it myself and do a commit request? [01:52] TikityTik: It's fine with me :) [01:52] PickledEggs: I never did, so I don't know how I would lol [01:52] never did that before* [01:52] TikityTik: seriously thought, I don't know much about how to submit upstream [01:52] hello [01:53] sorry Elion - I'll keep reading over the logs you posted but nothing else jumps to mind at the moment [01:54] PickledEggs: I understand, I can't find anything about this problem anywhere... And there is almost nothing in the logs beside the "Unsupported splx structure" [01:55] PickledEggs: Thank you for looking into it [01:55] hello [01:55] I have a problem with cpu speed [01:56] when executing cpufreq-info i see: "current policy: frequency should be within 1.10 GHz and 1.10 GHz." [01:56] when I used to see within 1.10 GHz and 2.10 GHz [01:56] any idea why this is? [02:00] can I not use my init.d scripts with ub16.04? [02:00] ubuntu can't install busybox-initramfs, any idea? [02:00] freechoice: you getting errors? [02:00] I'm getting systemd complaints [02:01] yep [02:01] error code 1 [02:02] i think maybe i choose xfs filesystem, but restarted with ext4, the same error occurs [02:02] mainboard is asus p5q/core 2.4G [02:03] 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] Asus P5Q/4G MEM/Intel Core 2.4G [02:04] start-stop-daemon made things real easy, systemd just muddies everything up [02:08] jiffe: what exactly are you getting from systemd? [02:09] PickledEggs: systemd is intercepting my init.d script [02:11] 60dmraid returned error code 1 [02:12] jiffe: Please pastebin an example command and its output that demonstrates the problem you're seeing. Please also pastebin your init scripts. [02:12] so with systemd it sounds like chroot isn't necessary? [02:13] i've tried many times, can anybody help me? [02:13] jiffe: Maybe help here to convert : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers . [02:14] freechoice: I've been trying to research it but not coming up with anything, sorry :( [02:14] maybe this only appears on multi-byte lauguage system [02:16] 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] It shows up when i choose Chinese language, I'll start over using english, will notice later [02:16] thanks, man, will be back later [02:17] welp - someone changed join status of this- to make it the same as other tech support channnels, where you cannot autojoin [02:17] or there is a delay [02:17] so I will not be helping out here [02:19] nomic: it's always been like that. I think maybe NickServ on freenode is a little slower the past few days. My identify then join #ubuntu connect script hasn't been working right lately either [02:19] but it used to work fine [02:19] yes -- it worked fine [02:23] everything works fine when i select english at the very first language selection [02:25] 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] \ [02:25] Richard_Cavell: i'm running ubuntu on my laptop fwiw [02:26] Richard_Cavell: same [02:26] Richard_Cavell: with no problems with compatibility at all [02:26] 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] 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) [02:27] running on a ThinkPad T440s [02:27] *forth [02:27] :( 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] what kind of issues? [02:28] I'm inspired (sorry about the pun) by the Dell 15" Inspiron 5000 series [02:28] I want to do coding and web browsing, that's all [02:28] 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] Loading up Facebook will be the most demanding thing I do on it [02:29] 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 [02:32] hi who created ubuntu-mono it looks so nice (: [02:33] wedgie: thanks for the report - annoying but not the end of the world [02:33] 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. If you'd like to discuss this channel's modes feel free to ask us about it in #ubuntu-ops, or discuss it in #ubuntu-offtopic. It annoys me sometimes when I get hit by it as well, but I understand the need for it. [02:34] PickledEggs: yeah, pretty manageable. But for my use-case it makes suspend basically unusable. [02:35] boristheanimal: http://font.ubuntu.com/about/ [02:35] Want the guy that created the elementary icon theme? [02:35] nah im good xangua [02:36] 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] 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] Oh the font, not the icons :-P [02:37] Geo: Sounds fine to me. [02:37] Cool- And how would I install to the 2nd HD w/o booting from install media? [02:37] Geo: what os are you running now? [02:37] ubuntu [02:38] 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. [02:39] Jordan_U: and that can be done w/o booting from the cd? [02:39] you could just mount the iso [02:39] /how [02:40] ok [02:40] 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] really weired why shows error when select chinese... [02:40] the goal is not to boot from media [02:40] Geo: Why not? [02:40] mounting sounds right [02:41] PickledEggs: Geo: There is no reasonable way to install Ubuntu that involves mounting the iso while booted from another distro. [02:43] could you install it via KVM then convert the the qcow2 to a raw format? === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [02:47] 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? [02:51] 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] *partition [02:51] PickledEggs: If you wanted to use kvm then I would recommend just passing the hard drive as a "raw" drive to qemu-kvm. [02:53] debootstrap [02:53] does anyone can tell me how to select use seperate home partition during installation? [02:53] xangua: what fonts do you use? :P [02:53] i can't find such an option or don't know how to turn this option on [02:54] freechoice, manual installation, install "something else" then set up your partitions [02:54] boristheanimal: Ubuntu 🙃 [02:54] 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] 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. [02:55] PickledEggs: It would indeed work, with a step or two extra required if you are installing for UEFI. [02:55] thanks,man,i'll try [03:05] i can't find something else button... [03:06] ;'( [03:06] :'( [03:07] freechoice: It's an option early on. If you already selected automatic partitioning then you may need to go back. [03:08] before that it detect hardware and disks [03:08] after that it's partition [03:10] i can't find that in both manual and automatic [03:10] freechoice, see where it asked How Do You Want to Install Ubuntu? that page. [03:10] OR let ubuntu do all the partitioning and set up /home after you install [03:10] it show use seperate home partition when i use chinese earlier [03:10] let me try [03:10] freechoice, strongly suggest you try ubuntu-kylin [03:11] !kylin | freechoice [03:11] 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] well,there's no problem when i use english [03:11] i've use linux over 10 years, and i still can't find such an option.. [03:12] :'( [03:12] you can install in English and add Chinese support afterwards [03:12] freechoice: The manual partitioning is the "something else" option. [03:12] ok,let me try [03:22] finally i find that... [03:23] :D,use exeprt mode, everything goes fine ... [03:24] 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? [03:25] Geo: Yes ,, in the primary system run 'sudo update-grub ' . [03:28] cool [03:29] 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? === BrAsS_mOnKeY is now known as g2 [03:36] Geo: Well, if ya can figure out how to unmount the running partition: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot . I ain't got it figured out to this time . [03:37] i have a server instance running on amazon web services. besides setting up a ftp server, is there a way for me to somehow create an alias on my computer here at home where I can directly have access to the files so I can open them up in my IDE? [03:37] I have something similar on my home network using appledouble I just wonder how to do that over public ip [03:39] snowkidind: mount it as a network drive (I think?), or many IDEs allow you to use ssh/scp to access remote files as well [03:40] webstorm. i'm looking at the ssh login now [03:49] say, how would I go about running Ubuntu server in RAM, using a USB stick for storage? [03:50] !persistence | Gorian, [03:50] Gorian,: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence [03:51] I guess. The live CD is HUGE though. Anyway I can make my own? [03:51] !mini | Gorian [03:51] 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] also, it boots up into a GUI which is a waste [03:51] and of course, you'll want the ubuntu SERVER image, not the desktop [03:51] but, the Ubuntu server image doesn't have a live cd option... [03:52] install to a USB [03:52] will it optimize for USB then? [03:52] Gorian, no, it will, technically, run in a USB -- but poorly as is to be expected [03:53] yeah. [03:53] I'm thinking more something like SmartOS or Alpine. Boot up, load the OS into memory, grab configurations from USB [03:53] live cd is too bloated for that, I'm thinking to use as a hypervisor, not testing a PC [03:54] neither SmartOS nor alpine have packages for OpenStack though [03:55] Gorian, sounds like the type of discussion you should launch in the server channel [03:55] I guess. It's usually pretty empty in there and I end up coming in here anyway when no one answers :p [03:56] OpenStack? [03:56] yeah [03:57] Gorian, Have you taken a look at https://hub.docker.com/r/mikaturunen/alpine-openstack-tools/ [03:58] You can see how the dockerfile builds the openstack image [03:59] doesn't look like anything is there - no description and last push was never... [03:59] Ah. [03:59] Hmm, let me check [04:00] To clarify, is this Alpine running on Openstack (as guest), or Alpine running Openstack (as host)? [04:01] the latter [04:02] I'm looking for a decent OS to use as a "hypervisor" if you will === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [04:02] If I can boot something from USB and run in RAM, I can save all my hot-swap drive slots for storage instead [04:03] and later move to doing the same thing but booting from a LUN instead [04:03] Hmm [04:04] SmartOS would be a better fit for you with regards to that [04:04] SmartOS is pretty much ideal for that, but doesn't have any support for OpenStack [04:04] Alpine's virtualization (VM, not containers) is still a bit fiddly. Performant, but fiddly. [04:05] so, anyway to setup Ubuntu to do what I want? [04:06] Jordan_U, Thank you! "Pass completed, 0 bad blocks found. (0/0/0 errors)" :-) [04:18] Hello, I'm having some difficulty with KVM networking with bridges and vlans. My issue is that the interfaces are set up but the networking service shows as failed in Xenial [04:19] I'm wondering what the correct method is to configure a bridge on top of a VLAN for KVM use is in Xenial [04:19] (the bridge may or may not have an IP itself) [04:36] !ping [04:36] pong! [04:38] I've always used mdadm to manage RAIDs... now I have a SATA card that supports RAID. What are the pros/cons of using the hw card versus continuing with mdadm? [04:39] Geo: perhaps the ##hardware channel might enlight you on this? [04:40] !raid | Geo read also here [04:40] Geo read also here: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto [04:40] just curious if folks here had thoughts [04:42] Looking for some help. For some reason when I use the "mail" command, the system sends an email to the specified email address, but also sends a copy to 6 other email addresses automatically. What would cause this? [04:45] hello [04:45] Anyone on? [04:49] kingfish: 1400 users are [04:50] Very few seem to be active [04:50] TParis, perhaps you have aliases set up... although I can't remember where/how to check [04:52] kingfish: You got to throw some bait out to get a rise . [04:53] I have ubuntu runnning on an old laptop. It was working fine, but then it crashed. No biggie, but then I restarted it and it was using something called "Scopes" and seems to think it is a phone? [04:53] What did I do wrong? [04:53] Geo: Thanks, but the server is being less than helpful so I can't check :( [04:53] "It's never happened before, so it must not be the server" === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [04:57] kingfish: Ubuntu 16.10?

[05:03] as far as I understood, I need to have one drive with the /boot partition and the rest as ext4 [05:03] then I have to install ubuntu there [05:03] and then convert ext4 to btrfs [05:03] !btrfs > MDTech-us_MAN [05:03] MDTech-us_MAN, please see my private message [05:03] and then add the other 2 drives [05:03] !raid > MDTech-us_MAN [05:05] I dont want to use fakeraid or lvm [05:06] the actual question I have is what to do about swap? [05:06] I got 32 GB of ram [05:06] and I'd prefer to be able to hibernate [05:09] should I just create a swap file later on? [05:09] Yes [05:10] 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] kingfish: how big should it be? [05:11] IDK. I'd just guess and check it till it worked [05:11] lol [05:11] thx [05:14] kingfish: are you able to download the Release file from the mirror yourself?

[05:56] !ppapurge | Flaz [05:56] Flaz: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [06:03] hello [06:06] I created a btrfs filesystem using a live cd that spans 3 ssds [06:07] in the installer I selected it to install to one of the partitions and put the boot installer on to one of the defices [06:07] *devices [06:07] but it said that it failed to install [06:08] it failed to install the boot loader [06:08] but the ubuntu install was ok [06:09] so how do i manually install the raid [06:09] e problem is not what to do, I know I have to use ppa-purge but which packages to uninstall, relative to the pastebin [06:09] *how do I manually install the bootloader === JanC_ is now known as JanC === rumble is now known as grumble [06:21] Flaz, look at the ppa page https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/lubuntu-daily [06:22] sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:lubuntu-dev/lubuntu-daily [06:26] OerHeks: problem is not to use ppa, but in this pastebin..to know the exact name of package for purge [06:26] OerHeks:http://pastebin.com/rv0wc5Lj [06:28] Flaz, read again, i gave the whole command [06:29] :-( [06:29] exit [06:31] OerHeks: i'm sorry, thank you..i'm going too speed :-) [06:31] when i use xfs i can't install grub, what about jfs? [06:32] is jfs a filesystem ? [06:32] yep [06:33] it's an IBM high performance file system [06:33] IBM's high-performance journaling filesystem. JFS is a light, fast and reliable B+tree-based filesystem with good performance in various conditions. [06:35] let me try jfs,if it can't install grub again, only ext4 could be use [06:36] freechoice, i have no clue, just curious [06:36] there's an question, I haven't find reiserFS when i trying to partition my disk [06:36] why ubuntu doesn't support that filesystem [06:36] fancy filesystems, heh [06:38] fancy means? [06:39] OerHeks: One more thing, I need a command that displays in the terminal all the *ppa packages installed [06:39] complicated? [06:39] Flaz, hard to do, synaptic has some nice filters to show ppa packages and origin [06:40] OerHeks: ok Thank [06:41] freechoice, reiserfs is controversial, but you know that already [06:42] !filesystem | freechoice [06:42] freechoice: An explanation of how files and directories are organized on Ubuntu, and how they can be manipulated, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview see also: man hier [06:42] it has high performance when you got many tiny files. [06:45] :D [06:45] thanks, pal [06:51] installed success with jfs [06:51] trying to boot the system [06:51] halted [07:49] when installing ubuntu,it tells me grub has install successed, but when boot system, it halted [07:50] and when i use rescue system and chroot to the system, it tells me filesystem ext2 doesn't support embedding [07:50] grub-install :error: will not proceed with blocklists [07:50] how can i fix this [07:50] don't forget to mention you use xfs/reiserfs [07:51] this time i use ext4 [07:51] everything by default [07:52] hello everyone [07:55] :'( [07:55] freechoice: you cant chroot into the system? [07:55] i could [07:55] anyone here? I am looking for the ubuntu irc.. [07:55] how can i enter a dependency for a script, trying to make sure that smbd doesnt start before libvirt does [07:55] *systemd script [07:57] i ran grub-install /dev/md126, not the system already booted [07:57] really weired [07:57] hmm why are you running grub-install though, normally just installing the grub package should setup grub for you [07:58] how to duel boot ubuntu with windows (uefi ) [07:58] but it tells me everything goes fine [07:58] when i boot the system, only a cursor shows, nothing more [07:58] peeyush, you just need to install ubuntu in uefi mode [07:58] !uefi [07:58] 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] i have to chroot and reinstall that, [07:59] i've tried many times , till i do it myself, and i almost give up [07:59] grub on softwareraid ?? [07:59] yep [07:59] heu, how does that work [08:00] ikevin, i tried that. i am able to live boot, but unable to install it. [08:00] peeyush, do you have an error while installing? [08:02] but the system load seems unnormal [08:02] ikevin, yes i down't remember the error exactly but it i think it says the iso has errors. [08:03] peeyush, verify it with the m5d sum [08:03] i redownloaded the iso , and still the error persists [08:03] i haven't run anything, the system load could be 2.75 [08:03] ok il try that [08:03] that's abs wrong [08:03] there is a test media option in the cd's boot menu, or verify installation media, something to that effect [08:03] freechoice, 'freechoice> when i boot the system, only a cursor shows,' sounds like you need nomodeset [08:03] !nomodeset [08:03] 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 [08:04] nomodset means what? [08:04] freechoice: high load can be due to disk i/o also, is your HDD alright? [08:05] add shows ok [08:06] nomodeset disables some powermanagment stuff in your GPU [08:06] :( [08:07] but when i use rescue disk chroot and reinstall grub, it finally works... [08:07] weierdo.. [08:08] weirdo [08:08] md126_resync that cost system load [08:11] maybe disk has issues?

This incident will be reported. [08:13] freelancerbob, sudo password [08:13] is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [08:13] if your not in the sudoers, you need to use a live session + chroot to change the password [08:14]
