c-pini checked to make sure it worked on rufus00:40
xanguac-pin: how did you create it?00:41

designbybeckChromecast on Ubuntu 16.04? Which one, if any, works for streaming your whole desktop to a TV? I thought I saw that was possible on Linux?00:51
puffinzAny Chrome browsers does full remote desktop emulation... which is a blessing or a curse.00:52
designbybeckso gen1 and gen 2 puffinz?00:52
designbybeckfor the Chromecast Device itself puffinz?00:53
puffinzIt all depends what you want to use your chromecast for00:53
c-pinreisio, yeah00:53
puffinzPersonally id by a SoC device and install whatever you want00:54
c-pinsolus is still booting, xubuntu doesnt like it or sometnhing00:54
designbybeckpuffinz: well mostly watching youtube anyway, but some Kodi? would that display?00:54
designbybeckah00:54
c-pinthe leds flash but it boots directly to solus at lowest prioritp00:54
MisterPizzaguys u know how make it work sopcast for ubuntu?00:54
reisioc-pin: if you have /boot/grub, you can just tell grub to boot an install image directly00:55
designbybecklike a RaspberryPi as a SoC puffinz and just control it that way? We are using a laptop and a bukly HDMI cable ,but it is doing damage to the HDMI port on this laptop00:55
c-pinreisio, mmm thats a good idea00:55
c-pinthe fact that it WONT boot though is what scares me00:55
c-pinbecause that prcobably means its not compatible with my system00:55
reisiothere are a lot of variables00:55
MisterPizzai remake question, u know how see sports event live streaming with good quality?00:55
puffinzYeah, theres lots of neat multimedia devices out there.... chromecast is nice. its cheap.00:56
reisiowhether the usb stick is good, whether the image is good, whether you're copying it right, whether your bios/etc. is configured properly, whether your usb ports are sound/normal, etc., etc.00:56
c-pinset up plex on a pi 200:56
puffinzI usually use MythTV00:56

Knemonhow can I redirect an http request from port 80 to another one for a specific domain on my local machine?02:06
smokeyjOk, been running Redhat/fedora since dawn of time. Just installed Ubuntu on server that I built from scrap. I dont hate it. So whats the trade off?02:11
smokeyjWhere is the nasty little problem?02:11
wedgieKnemon: sounds like you want a reverse proxy perhaps.02:12
wedgieKnemon: can you give a more specific example of what you want to do?02:12
Knemonwedgie, I am developing an app locally - so I created a local domain localhost.dev that binds to 127.0.0.1. my app is on http://localhost.dev:3000. What I want is this: type http://localhost.dev and redirect me on port 300002:14
wedgieKnemon: and only 1 app? For example you'll never want to go to http://app2.localhost.dev and get redirected to port 4000?02:15
wedgieif not, then this will probably be useful: http://askubuntu.com/questions/444729/redirect-port-80-to-8080-and-make-it-work-on-local-machine   If you DO need to have more than one app being sent to different ports then you may want to look into a reverse proxy. Nginx can do that sort of thing02:16
Knemonmaybe02:16
Ben64better way would be to put it on port 80, or just type blah:400002:17
Knemonwedgie, I am running a custom httpd02:17
wedgieKnemon: shouldn't matter. Reverse proxy would go in front of that02:17
Knemonhmm02:18
KnemonI am not quite sure how to implement the reverse proxy. I will look into it too02:18
wedgieit'll take some reading but it isn't too terrible02:18
Ben64so make it simpler and just type the proper port, or change the port to 8002:18
wedgieKnemon: and if it's a one-off you can just use a iptables rule like in the link i sent you02:19
Knemoniptables is more appealing but the Nginx solution seems solid02:21
wedgieiptables is definitely the faster/easier solution. But a reverse proxy will be more robust if you need to have several different applications, all available from port 8002:22
maddawg2reverese proxy is what i use02:23
maddawg2easy peazy02:24
maddawg2can even give it a nice url rewrite if needed02:24
ghostcartpiHey folks. Does anyone have experience with ubuntu on raspberry pi?02:32
ghostcartpiI'm attempting to install mudlet and having poor luck.02:33
tomreynghostcartpi: how does it fail?02:39
tomreyni'm not sure which architecture raspi is. if it's armhf this would be why the package is not available. it is available for arm64, though.02:41
ghostcartpihmm02:41
ghostcartpithe odd thing is that it's available on the raspbian repo02:42

ghostcartpihere I02:42
ghostcartpiI'll get the exact message02:43
ghostcartpiPackage mudlet is not available, but is referred to by another package.02:46
ghostcartpiThis may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or02:46

Ben64avoider: as you were told many many many many many times already, booting a usb has nothing to do with anything on your hard drive04:19
avoiderThen why cant i boot any os?04:19
Ben64because you're doing something incorrectly04:20
avoiderSo the tools in "software" and the "dd" command are trash then? you saying04:20

avoiderUntil i put ubuntu on here.04:22
avoiderNone of you guys could solve it for two days now?04:22
cfhowlettSellerie, depends entirely on your chat client settings.  if you are in hexchat, it's a simple setting04:22
Sellerieya it's hexchat04:23
avoiderOnly smart person who made logic was eric^^04:23
Ben64!xy | avoider04:23
ubottuavoider: The XY problem is when you need to do X, and you think you can use Y to do X, so you ask about how to do Y, when what you really should do is state what your X problem is. There may be a Z solution that is even better than Y, but nobody can suggest it if X is never mentioned.04:23
cfhowlettSellerie, wait 104:23
avoiderMy problem is how to get rid of this trash ubuntu?04:23
avoiderlol04:23
avoiderThat is X04:23

satinderHi, i am using ubuntu 16.04 and on my system php7 is not working in the browser08:21
Ben64no_gravity: you can use "sudo apt-get autoremove"08:21
no_gravityBen64: That will remove all unused kernels?08:22
Ben64no_gravity: most of them, it keeps a couple08:22
no_gravityUh oh, "apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-21-generic" seems to fiddle with the boot menu... let's see if the machine still boots...08:23
satinderHi, i am using ubuntu 16.04 and on my system php7 is not working in the browser08:23
no_gravitysatinder: php7 is not intended to run in the browser.08:24
satinderwhich version i suppose to use with ubuntu 16.0408:24
no_gravityBen64: That seems to only remove one kernel08:25
Ben64satinder: depends what you're trying to do08:25
dikiaaphow to add linespace in terminal? Like in urxvt08:25
no_gravitysatinder: I would use the php version that is in the repos.08:25
Ben64no_gravity: i think it leaves two or three plus maybe the currently running one08:25
Ben64depends what you have installed i suppose08:26
no_gravityBen64: It talks about "Will not try to make an initrd." ... oh oh.. I hope the machine will survive this...08:26
no_gravityexited with an error code...08:27
no_gravityPhew, it still boots.08:27
no_gravityHa, the "apt-get purge" fails because it tries to build a new initrd but there is not enough space left on /boot/08:31
no_gravityWhat now?08:32
Ben64move a couple of the initrd files somewhere off /boot and try again?08:34

hheeBen64, system requirements, like memory and so on08:40
no_gravityhhee: If you are low on resources, you might try Debian with openbox.08:40
no_gravityhhee: That's what I use on slim machines.08:41
hheeBen64, i need quick linux system for virtual machine08:41
hheeno_gravity, got it08:41
Ben64hhee: they're all fairly similar, depends what you want to do though08:41
no_gravityhhee: It's nicely suited for VMs because it has almost zero gui. But it might be be *too* slim depending on what you intend to do.08:41
no_gravityhhee: I use debian+openbox+chrome if I want a machine to simply use a browsers.08:42
hheeBen64, no_gravity mostly i need browser, file manager, one java app, and some terminal programs08:42

lplatypusHi, how do I start pulseaudio as a system-wide daemon in Ubuntu 16.04?  It seems to have changed from 14.04 where I had this working following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX#Pulseaudio11:22
discoveredAnyone using kde wallet manager?11:39
OerHeksdiscovered, you might want to ask your real question.11:41
discoveredI am trying to use kdewallet manager to store all password(First time using a password manger though). Does it automatically save the password to the wallet or i need to save automatically. The password is always empty even if i am login to any website11:45
lplatypusto answer my own question about running pulseaudio as a system daemon following upgrade to 16.04: I got it working by (1) restoring the upstart config for this daemon that was removed in the upgrade (cd /etc/init && cp pulseaudio.conf.dpkg-bak pulseaudio.conf), and (2) changing boot to use upstart rather than systemd11:53

BloqueNegrocan somebody help me on that?12:07
tomreynBloqueNegro: there are three approaches you can take: (1) try whether it works on ubunt 16.04 lts, and if it does, install that instead. (2) filing a bug report as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and hope this will lead to someone triaging it and adding information or developing a patch which will fix it (can take a while), (3) try debugging and fixing or working around it yourself with the help of https://help.ubuntu.com/commu12:13
tomreynnity/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure - reading up on https://www.alsa-project.org/ and maybe with some help of the folks in #alsa12:13
tomreyn(4) use a less complex and less proprietary technique for audio output.12:14
BloqueNegrotomreyn, so i should probably go back to 1604?12:18

e8newallmHi, I'm on lubuntu, and the network manager has my wired connection is listed as not managed, even though I changed NetworkManager.conf to managed=true and removed everything from the interfaces file. What else can I do?12:38
bekkse8newallm: Did you remove literally everything?If so, it wont work :)12:40
e8newallmYeah I think so12:41
e8newallmDo I need to delete the interfaces file entirely?12:41
bekkse8newallm: No. you need several ebtries in there.12:41
bekks*entries12:41
e8newallm"auto lo\r\n iface lo inet loopback"12:41
e8newallmThat's all that's in it12:41

e8newallmOk removed everything, reset network manager, still no :P12:42
e8newallminterfaces is a blank file12:42
bekksm(12:43
bekksYou NEED those two lines.12:43
bekksIf you removed them NM will not work.12:43
bekksThats what I said above, too.12:43
e8newallmOk fair enough12:44
e8newallmIs there anything else I would need to change?12:44
e8newallmI can find literally nothing on this that doesn't say to change those two things :P12:44
e8newallmI've had ethernet working before, but network manager said I was disconnected from the internet when that was the case12:45
bekksAnd what did you change since then, so NM started to behave differently?12:46
e8newallmIt wasn't working then12:46
e8newallmIt still said the same thing12:46
e8newallmBut I was still connected through ethernet, but it said ethernet wasn't managed and that I was disconnected still12:46
bekksSo did it ever work?12:47
e8newallmWell network manager said I was disconnected but I was still able to use websites12:48
e8newallmI think I had configured the ethernet through interfaces then though12:48
e8newallmTo check if ethernet would work at all12:49
bekksDid it ever work - yes or no? :P12:49
e8newallmIt has always said ethernet not managed since I first installed Lubuntu12:49
e8newallmBut ethernet has worked when manually configured using the interfaces file12:49
bekksAnd why are you concerned about it now?12:49
e8newallmBecause I only recently installed Lubuntu :P12:50
e8newallmIt was fine when it was still Windows, but when I put Lubuntu on, I had this problem right away12:50
bekksWindows uses totally different mechanism and thus is totally out of interest at this point.12:52

saramadridok,13:00
saramadridi have 2 network interfaces13:00
saramadridfor reasons not worth mentioning here, both interfaces are connected to different networks, but both networks have the same ip range13:01
saramadrid192.168.0.x13:01
saramadridso, i need interface 1 to be the default13:01
bekkssaramadrid: So configure your default route using interface 1.13:02
saramadridbut, no matter what i try with network manager, it insists on having network 2 as default13:02
bekksConfigure your network manually, not using NM.13:02
saramadridi thought about that, but i wanted to figure out how to do it without doing surgery13:03
nlynxguys, hi. how can i find directory in midnight commander? i tried command->find file>unchecked "ignore directory", wrote directory name, but nothing was found13:03
saramadriddoing it manually seems like not solving the problem, more like avoiding it13:04
saramadridi could also swap the ethernet cables, but i'd like to know how to solve this... this is my last time trying to move to linux for my desktop and i really want to make things work without modifying my installation too much13:06
saramadridnlynx, does it have to be done with midnight commander?13:06
stefgsaramadrid: since both networks seem to be 192.168.0.0/24 how should a poor stupid tcp packet know which way to turn... i'd say that everything hinges on the default gateway13:10
stefgsaramadrid: if you have a chance i'd try to fix this network setup.... you'll run into trouble sooner or later13:11
saramadridstefg, i know, but what i want is to use lan1 for everything, and lan2 just for access one server on that lan13:11
saramadridin fact, its working perfectly now, its just that i cant swap the default interface13:11
stefgAll fine, but why cant you just use 192.168.1.0/24 for one of the two nets?13:11
saramadridfor some reason, there is no way i can see to select lan1 as default13:11
saramadridboth networks are independent, but they are a replica that allows redundancy for some servers13:12
saramadridi cant really explain everything, but it's the way it is13:12
saramadridi can't change it13:12
stefgi see.. i think network manager isn't designed to handle such a ... err, special... setup. how about only using your desired default interface from network manager and bringing up the other with a little script. Would be a way to force things the way you want them13:14
bekksOr configuring them without using NM at all.13:15
bekksBoth of them.13:15
bekkssaramadrid: Kill whoever setup that crap. Implement trunking on your switches and uses redundant cabling. Done.13:16
stefgbekks: ^^^This!^^^13:16
stefgsaramadrid: Thinking over it it might be timing related... whoever claims first 192.168.0.0 gets it. It might be the wrong net, that's always faster. An idea might be to look into udev rules. But i doubt you can solve such a faulty sitaution "without" surgery". I even doubt, windows wouldn't complain (no idea...)13:25
saramadridstefg, sorry for being away... actually in windows is pretty easy, it respects the metric of the interfaces13:34
saramadridbekks, i can't actually kill him, actually he's my boyfriend :) and i don't really know why but it is well designed and implemented. anyway that's out of the scope of my question, i just thought that since it was something so trivial in windows, i thought it would as easier on network manager, but it isnt13:38
bekkssaramadrid: Him being your boyfriend means you can get much closer to him :>13:41
saramadridindeed, but he gives me much worst motives to kill him and i've not done it yet :) sounds silly to do it because of this :P13:42
=== jstein_ is now known as jstein
stefgsaramadrid: so the least thing you can expect then is that he fixes his own mess and do the (quite manageable) surgery by writing a proper /etc/network/interfaces for you ;-)13:45
saramadridxD actually someone pointed me to the fix right now... it seems the gui of network manager can't set metrics at the moment, but the nmcli utility can13:47
saramadridi'm going to try it now... see if it works13:47
ioriasaramadrid, there is also a package dedicated, iirc13:47

saramadridioria, but nmcli should be the tool to use isnt it?13:48
ioriasaramadrid, guess so13:48
saramadridthanks anyway!! good to know my options13:48
el_bambagood luck... and metrics13:49

saramadridi guess i need to reset... brb14:07
saramadrideureka! it works :)14:19
saramadridnmcli actually worked without a problem... the gui seems to do something funny because using the cli i was able to remove everything and then add the interfaces in the right order.14:20

SAKUJ0sorry i am new to ubuntu and used to more minimal distros. what would be the minimal way of installing a gnome shell?14:23
MonkeyDust!mini14:24
ubottuThe 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/MinimalCD14:24
OerHeksSAKUJ0, with --no-install-recommends perhaps? why more minimal?14:25
OerHeksyou might save 1 gb diskspace14:25
SAKUJ0because i dont need firefox or a cd burning utiliy etc14:25
MonkeyDustSAKUJ0  then the !mini installation is what you want, i guess14:29
SAKUJ0!mini14:29

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD14:29
SAKUJ0i already have a minimal system right now14:29
SAKUJ0I am trying to find out in what ways I can add a minimal gnome shell environment14:29
OerHekssudo apt install gnome-desktop --no-install-recommends14:29
OerHeksmight give you firefox anyway ..14:30
SAKUJ0i don't think it would14:30
SAKUJ0(as it is under "Recommends: ")14:30
SAKUJ0it still depends on packages such as 'brasero' etc. though14:31
OerHeksThere is only one way to find out.14:31
SAKUJ0so i am wondering what packages out of ubuntu-gnome-desktop I would need. One of those is 'gnome-shell'14:32
darkdreamingdanHey guys, i just booted ubuntu from live usb and it seems great.  I was just wondering what happens to my windows boot manager before i do a full install?14:32
=== jstein_ is now known as jstein
darkdreamingdani'm going to install on a seperate disk to windows14:33
OerHeksdarkdreamingdan,  if you install grub2 bootloader, it will chainload the windows stuff, if you choose windows14:34

darkdreamingdanthanks - without trying to sound like a fool, what does that actually mean? That it takes over windows' default bootloader?14:35
OerHeksno, grub will load first.14:37
darkdreamingdanAnd if i stop using ubuntu and remove the partition, what's left of my bootloader compared to before?14:39
OerHeksIf you remove ubuntu, use your windows iso to repair the mbr.14:39
OerHeksnothing much will be changed, just the pointer to the bootloader.14:39
codepoetnhello ubuntu, I've a problem with rhythmbox, even when i close the rhythmbox music player window it keeps on playiing the music in background. how to stop it? i want the music to stop when i close the rhythmbox window (just like when we close vlc media player video playing stops.), like that!14:43
MonkeyDustcodepoetn  in the preferences, look foor 'minimize to tray when closing', or similar14:44
OerHekshttp://askubuntu.com/questions/17134/rhythmbox-still-plays-songs-after-exit14:46

SqrtOfPiHi!15:48
SqrtOfPiIn my 14.04, I'd like to install a package from 14.1015:48
SqrtOfPiI tried: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu utopic main restricted universe"15:48
SqrtOfPibut this URL gives 404, it's probably archived15:48
SqrtOfPihow can I change the URL ?15:48

odfhw5bv9sHi all. After I have installed cpufreq I expirience freezes.15:53
Sean_McGthat sounds like a hardware issue15:53
odfhw5bv9svery large ones - more than 5 seconds15:53
odfhw5bv9sWhen  I used windows there was no such an issue15:54
Sean_McGwindows doesn't have cpufreq15:54
odfhw5bv9sYes, they have its analogue15:54
OerHekscpufreq is nice to underclock, but not really usefull15:54
odfhw5bv9sIt's true. The windows implementation allowed lots of frequencies, cpufreq allows only one15:55
odfhw5bv9s*two15:55
odfhw5bv9sAvailable frequency steps: 2.40 GHz, 1.60 GHz15:56
odfhw5bv9sWhen I used windows I often saw the frequencies inside the interval15:57
MonkeyDusti use it too, on my old laptop, having the same issues, but my old laptop would heat up and shutdown without it15:57

Amm0nsolars, if i "du --exlude=.gconf" it skips .gconf16:44
solarsweird16:44
willsketchupworkalright thanks i will reboot see if that changes anything and commence with the deletion of the wine directory. it would be nice if i coud use a VM but virtualization is not enabled in BIOS. it certainly would be better to delete an infected vm rather than having the whole system infected. the safest route would be to reinstall the os but i set a bios password and forgot it. i may be able to work around that though by taki16:45

ubottuLaunchpad bug 1641380 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "chromium-browser: ERR_CERTIFICATE_TRANSPARENCY_REQUIRED for Symantec certs" [Critical,Fix released]19:43
syrothMObo's can fail in weird ways... its not always *totally* broken, it can behave as you describe. I've worked support professionally for over a decade i've seen similar symptoms before19:44
irinmay fglrx cause that my laptop work very slow ?19:44

willsketchupworkhas anyone tried resetting a motherboard to remove the bios key?19:47
Ben64willsketchupwork: ##hardware for that19:48
syrothwillsketchupwork: Does your kb work at ALL once booted? and have you tried an external USB keyboard?19:49
syrothWillsketchupwork: also removing the CMOS battery is your only change. Most manufacturers have caught up enough with the times that the password will remain after removing the CMOS battery and letting the mobo discharge... this trick works most on older models19:50
syrothcorrection - only chance*19:50
beaverOerHeks: It is because of this problem that the latest stable release is not in the repositories?19:51
OerHeksbeaver, no clue, all i know is there are issues that need to be fixed, and chromium need more supporters to build it.19:52
beaverok19:53
willsketchupworkthis is practcally new. it is a lenovo 700 bought in January. it is still somewhat functional as it has a touchscreen and the onscreen kbd works. my external mouse works so an external kbd should too.19:55
OerHekswillsketchupwork, if it is a recent laptop with uefi bios, i doubt you can remove password with a trick/remove battery, join ##hardware to find out19:57
saramadridthis may not be specifically software related, but do you happen to know if there exists in europe something similar to System76 notebooks/desktops?19:57
syrothWillsketchupwork: okay. kdb and mouse drivers are contained inside of something called xorg which runs the GUI essentially. We could try reinstalling that but that would require an external USB keyboard to be functional as you wont retain the on-screen during that process. I also concur with OerHeks.. your system is too new for the battery trick. ( most likely )19:58
syrothwillsketchupwork: also, since its <1 year old you can call support and they can walk you throught the HW diagnostics. Its possible you have an internal failure. I'm not savvy enough to know if the external keyboard drivers are the same ones used for the internal( mounted ) keyboard on the laptop.19:59
OerHeks.. maybe just a simple FN key + internal/external keyboard/mouse, seen that before20:00
syrothlmao... damn good point actually20:00
syrothI've seen many people 'palm' the trackpad disable button on some models... I've done it myself20:00

ghostx562general question, boot time on my laptop from power button to login screen is around 35 secs, is that normal?22:10
jsubl2ghostx562: sound reasonable and near what mine is.22:10
jsubl2tho i have not timed it22:10
ghostx562ok22:10
reisioit works out of the box, it just doesn't do anything useful while working :p22:11
ghostx562just wondering, its a fresh install 16.04, i did change boot mode from UEFI to legacy. I wiped windows with it soon as it came out the box.22:11
ghostx562should i have left it on UEFI?22:12
reisioghostx562: if you don't like boot time, stop rebooting22:12
jsubl2ghostx562: that is what i did22:12
saramadrid(re-asking) this may not be specifically software related, but do you happen to know if there exists in europe something similar to System76 notebooks/desktops?22:12
reisioI doubt non-"legacy" mode will boot any faster22:12
jsubl2saramadrid: check out https://system76.com/shipping22:13
dwago /quit22:13
ghostx562ok22:14
jsubl2yeah when i am done i close the lid22:14
ghostx562That secure boot and intel rapid thing should those be off as well22:14
jsubl2rarely reboot22:14
reisiousing a SSD over a spinner is going to do more than anything else, short of not rebooting (which you don't have to do)22:14
saramadridjsubl2, i know they ship here, but shipping costs + import taxes makes it pretty expensive, also, i'd like to have support available on my same time zone (if possible)22:15
saramadridthanks anyway jsubl2 :)22:15
jsubl2ok, saramadrid sorry i couldn't help22:15
ghostx562reisio, sweet thanks for the info, might have to look and invest in one :)22:16
reisioghostx562: they're really affordable at capacities required for an OS (32GB or so)22:16
jsubl2yeah i wish i would have got ssd with my last lappie22:16
jsubl2but... dont want to spend the cash now22:16
reisioghostx562: and fairly affordable at capacities you don't really need (>=256GB)22:16
ghostx562true22:17
ghostx562i bought the laptop for a real good price, 250 intel i7, 12gb ram, 1tb hdd. 15.6 screen figured why not22:17

blackflowarooni: maybe disable logging of mail.* in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf23:33

blackflowthose do rotate automagically so it won't break anything, just sayin' you can't fix that on journalctl.23:33
blackflowbut mail.log is written by rsyslog who gets entries from journald23:34

blackflowyes. but to disable it you need to redirect mail.* messages to dev null and prevent their further propagation. So pipe the mail.* line to /dev/null and put    & ~     on the next line23:38
Bashing-omodfhw5bv9s: "password check failed for user (odfhw5bv9s)" I would think would cause all kinds of issues . But is way above my skills - systemd -to have any idea how to tackle this .23:39
