[00:04] is there a way to say which graphics card to use as a grub permission? [00:04] I find I am unable to open any file by double-clicking unless by clicking very rapidly and repeatedly [00:05] AbuMaia: settings -> Mouse & touchpad -> Double-click [00:06] wedgie: that setting is missing: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ti6gk766k0v9q5u/Screenshot%20from%202016-12-31%2016-57-49.png?dl=0 [00:07] AbuMaia: uh.......... Not sure. Hopefully someone else knows [00:12] was trying to follow http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/09/13/vim-8-0-released-install-ubuntu-16-04/ to get latest version of vim; but then i got https://gist.github.com/arooni/6f8d55f2291c26d3a85b7c155d09ea7e .. ideas?

"It seems it is compiled without python support" [00:14] kk4ewt I'm saying I tested on other distros and OSs [00:14] OerHeks: the ppa version?

[00:33] I'm trying to send logs that are being sent to /var/log/syslog to a remote server, but not everything I want to send is turning up at the destination [00:33] I'm getting cron events, and a couple of other bits and pieces [00:33] but what I'm really interested in is the slapd events, and those are not coming through [00:34] well it must be your configuration post your configuration === Marksos is now known as Markos [00:35] coming up, gimme a sec [00:37] http://pastebin.com/reLCq5b7 [00:37] [Sat 2016-12-31 03:27:39 PM PST] yesterday, i rebooted after a long uptime on trusty, applying a bunch of updates incidentally, including bringing the kernel from -101 to -106, and today i notice that ever since, ethernet does not work anymore. i want to be able to fix this without rebooting again. thanx [00:37] [Sat 2016-12-31 03:29:14 PM PST] 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1502] (rev 04) [00:37] [Sat 2016-12-31 03:53:43 PM PST] as for my issue, i already tried removing and reprobing e1000e, still doesn't work, although the spew in dmesg changed [00:39] fearnothing: well it doesn't look like you have any entry for slapd [00:39] when I do a tftp boot my isc server give for tftp the right address but when it does another DHCP request from the OS I get one IP higher [00:40] sn9: is it possible the NIC itself is physically dead? [00:40] fearnothing: you may want to uncomment the catch-all for var/log/messages block [00:40] Sean_McG: worked fine up until the reboot [00:41] sn9: did it possibly get renumbered (no longer eth0)? [00:41] Sean_McG: no [00:41] nothing in dmesg? [00:41] ok, clearly I'm not understanding how this works correctly [00:41] yes, stuff in dmesg [00:41] what does it say? [00:42] (regarding the e1000) [00:42] my system doesn't even have a /var/log/messages, how would uncommenting a line that applies to something that doesn't exist be useful?

[00:55] Sean_McG: changelog doesn't mention a change to e1000e, and it's a laptop [00:56] sn9: my theory is that maybe something needs a BIOS or EFI update to go along with the firmware [00:58] sn9: in any case, I'm not sure this is fixable without a reboot. maybe try downgrading linux-firmware and see if that helps === [ADN] is now known as _ADN_ [01:07] clear [01:24] how can I tell what process/pid I have running on port 53 [01:25] sudo netstat -plunt [01:25] most likely it is dnsmasq [01:25] but that will tell him pid [01:25] tru dat [01:31] thanks guys [01:32] does anyone use oh-my-zsh and agnoster in gnome-terminal?

[02:03] Sean_McG: your suggestion made me google: e1000e "firmware" linux [02:03] why is that? [02:03] and the kernel module "ipv6.disabled=1" [02:03] Sean_McG: found this, will test: http://www.linux.org.ru/forum/desktop/11387144 [02:04] sn9: good luck [02:04] would that simply be sysctl ipv6.disable=1 ? [02:04] Guest1842: depends on whether or not you are using network manager [02:04] or doesnt it work that way [02:05] so [02:05] ? [02:07] hello, how can I configure a wireless network from the command line and if I restart it connects automatically to the same network?

I only have cli and not gui === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [02:09] Guest1842: make sure it's not installed, first [02:10] sn9 I just installed it. Ill remove it. How do I enable wifi then? [02:11] can someone pastebin /etc/fstab? it's a long story [02:11] yo [02:11] guys [02:11] what is fstab? [02:11] what's up? I needed some quick help. [02:12] (f)ile (s)ystem (tab)le [02:12] Sean_McG, nice [02:12] Sean_McG, is PPA specific for Ubuntu? [02:13] ItalianBreadP: just ask your question [02:13] priporg: yes [02:13] umm [02:14] priporg: pretty much. Other distros may have something similar, though, but PPAs are for *buntu [02:14] I cant seem to get apt-get to work on my new linux system [02:14] I read there are two ways to add a PPA in Ubuntu. Not sure why there is a difference. [02:14] priporg: older, newer [02:14] ItalianBreadP: can you show the output in terminal when you run "sudo apt update" on paste.ubuntu.com ? [02:15] okay [02:15] sn9, it had something to do with the type of PPA... [02:15] no [02:15] priporg: and yes, ppa is specific to ubuntu. its 3rd party repos build and hosted on launchpad.net [02:15] !ppa | priporg [02:15] priporg: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [02:17] for example, sudo add-apt-repository ppa: OR sudo add-apt-repository [02:17] priporg: the first one is a ppa. the second one is another 3rd party repo hosted somewhere else [02:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720131/ [02:18] ah..got it! [02:18] k1l, thanks. i understand now, [02:18] if i try to download any app through apt-get, though, it doesn't work [02:19] ItalianBreadP: you still have the cdrom entries in your sources.list activated. go to system settings > updates und software and disable the cd rom there [02:19] ItalianBreadP: and you have already enabled some ppa with kritalime which is misconfigurerd [02:20] hmm [02:20] sorry if this looks like a basic problem for you. I'm very new to ubuntu, so I don't understand some stuff [02:21] in which tab do I disable the cd rom? [02:21] Can someone walk me through how to install Nvidia driver 304.134 properly on Ubuntu? I believe I tried almost everything. The previous update to driver gave me endless login loop. After updating the driver to the latest via adding ppa and running sudo apt-get update I get a black screen after login in GUI. Help is much appreciated. [02:22] ItalianBreadP: on the second tab, called "other sources/programs" there should be a checkmark for the cdrom. disable that [02:22] ah, yep! [02:22] disabled it [02:23] lol sorry, my network kinda dropped [02:23] I then tried the manual install via Nvidia installer, it complained "failed to load Nvidia Module" during installation, And on reboot gave me a black screen after gui login. [02:23] ItalianBreadP: ok, close the updates and programs window. the in terminal run "sudo apt update" again [02:23] alrigh [02:23] t [02:25] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720146/ [02:25] ok, now please run "grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999" which will output an url, show that url here please. [02:26] http://termbin.com/4xma [02:27] w.if-not-true-then-false.com/2015/fedora-nvidia-guide/ <-- this guide says Nvidia driver 304.xx requires a patched Nvidia Installer as it's incompatible with certain kernels. I'm wondering if this is the same case with some Ubuntu Kernels? Anyone know? [02:28] ItalianBreadP: ok, we need to delete one line of a file, which is causing that last error: so please do "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kritalime-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list", then delete the last line (which is the same as the 2nd line). then press ctrol+o for saving. ctrl+x for exit. [02:28] priporg: possibly, I use the graphics-drivers PPA [02:28] just installed nvidia-370 [02:28] ItalianBreadP: after that "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" and you are good to go [02:29] priporg: its 2017 now and there is a lot that changed since 2015. so if you name your exact card, exact ubuntu and kernel others could help in here [02:30] Sean_McG, I'm using graphics-drivers PPA as well. Until most recent update to driver 304.134 I was getting endless login loop. Now just getting black screen after gui login. [02:30] This shows up on the bottom: File Name to Write: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kritalime-ubuntu-ppa-xenial.list [02:31] ItalianBreadP: yes, press enter then to make it save [02:31] priporg: which GPU and Ubuntu release are you using? [02:31] k1l, I'm using geforce 7400 go, which uses drivers Nvidia 304.134. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Not sure on the kernel. [02:31] * Sean_McG grumbles about laggy ssh connection [02:31] okay, cool [02:31] Anyone else getting flakey wifi speeds since the recent updates? [02:31] Sean_McG, ^ [02:31] should I try apt-get to install an app now? [02:32] Hi all I'm in need of some help [02:32] ItalianBreadP: i would first run "sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade" to make sure you got all the updates installed. then go ahead and install the new programs you like [02:32] I tried to upgrade from 15.04 to 16.10 (some steps in between) and due to a power cut... I'm having a lotta trouble [02:32] state your issue please talla [02:32] Talla: what kind of trouble? [02:33] priporg: I wonder if 304 even works on the kernel in Ubuntu 16.04 [02:33] Well for one, my old installation won't start up [02:33] Talla: what was your upgrade path, how did you upgrade? what was the last upgrade you started? [02:33] looks like my upgrade to 16.04 broke my nameserver... boo hiss [02:33] Sean_McG: priporg there is an nvidia-304 package on 16.04 and that works. maybe that card needs some special treatment [02:33] Sean_McG, I wonder the same. I know it works on Fedora but only using a patched Nvidia installer as it's incomptible with some of their kernels. [02:34] I started by using the termin upgrade-manager -d or some such [02:34] k1l: possibly, not sure myself. I have a GTX 1070 [02:34] priporg: that is not the case on ubuntu. ubuntu ships nvidia packages [02:34] since the software center wanted nothing to do with it. [02:34] k1l: I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720170/ [02:34] I was just about to complete the upgrade between 15.10 and 16.04 when the powercut struck midway though. [02:35] I think I was just past the lightdm selection stage. [02:35] anyways I'mma take a break. back later. [02:35] k1l, i tried the shipped nvidia 304 package and was getting endless login loop. tried lots of remedies to no avail. [02:35] When I tried to launch I now get: Failed to start load kernel module [02:35] yo priporg: I had the same issue. Did you try turning off secure boot on BIOS? [02:35] I tried to launch in recovery mode but [02:36] I can't access sda1 because it refuses to mount [02:36] and I can't get dpkg to reconfigure because it's locked (on sda1) [02:36] ItalianBreadP, no, but i'm not sure I have secure boot. i'll check later. [02:36] The reason it won't mount properly is because it is missing some "IO iso885...something or other" [02:36] So far as I can tell [02:36] aka: Royally screwed [02:37] priporg: yeah, you should haha. I had the same issue yesterday and it fixed as soon as I turned off secureboot [02:37] In the mean time, I've booted a live disk in the hopes of saving my data [02:37] I have 300GB of data and no where to put it. [02:37] I can't simply upgrade (which I would like to do) because...well it just refuses. [02:38] k1l, Sean_McG, Admittedly I did a manual nvidia install first before using Nvidia-304 package. Not sure if that screwed things up? [02:38] priporg: yes, possible [02:38] ItalianBreadP, what driver are you using? [02:38] And I have no idea how to partition off my data so that it's protected from the install (I'd like to reintergrate it later) [02:38] priporg: I used 375, I believe [02:38] seriously though can someone pastebin /etc/fstab mine got deleted and i need an example of a good one [02:38] k1l: did you get my pastebin? I still seem to get the same issue [02:39] Random832: 14.04, or 16.04? [02:39] (or paste.ubuntu.com) [02:39] sn9, not sure it really matters but 16.04 [02:39] ItalianBreadP: i am looking into it. [02:39] ItalianBreadP, yeah you're ok. I'm like trying to run the last supported Nvidia driver on Ubuntu. [02:39] k1l: thank you [02:39] Talla, i had the same error message while dealing with my issue, try mount -o iocharset=cp437 [02:39] Talla: "IO iso885..." hints at s cd/dvd rom/writer. do you have some optical media in the drive which you dont need for booting? [02:40] tomreyn, no it really doesn't, that's an error relating to the fat32 filesystem [02:40] Nope [02:40] No optical media in the drive [02:40] iso 9660 is cdrom, iso 8859-1 is the default character translation for fat32 [02:40] but... which FAT partition? [02:40] ItalianBreadP: some of your 32bit stuff is making issues. try a "sudo apt-get -f install" [02:41] whichever one they're trying to mount when they get the error [02:41] linux is the worst shit ever [02:41] linux users must all be gay [02:41] Not only did russia manipulate the elections, russia took over all media using indians working there and is now absolutely manipulating the media by force. I am a personal witness to this, because my blog which contains more evidence about google and microsoft collaborating is being suppressed: http://pressthejustice.wordpress.com [02:41] Someone ban him [02:41] I still get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720187/ [02:41] usuario: this is not a discussion forum, please stop. [02:42] Before I check my Bios, what is the difference between apt and apt-get? [02:42] if you dont know the differnce you are total fucked [02:43] hey I've been using ubuntu for years without knowing the difference [02:43] they seem to work the same... [02:43] priporg: apt is the new command trying to merge some apt-get, apt-cache and other apt- commands [02:43] usuario: don't do that again, thanks [02:43] the hacking is being diverted to electric grid hacking, actually they collected and manipulated information using google search, gmail and windows OS [02:43] usuario must be a user who lost interest in linux ahaha [02:43] #savethewest [02:44] k1l, should i be using apt over apt-get then?

[06:20] new to irc how to i look at the topics [06:23] can we rely on the page hit ranking in distrowatch.com. And also, there is custom filter option to choose distros based on certain specific needs like linux for beginners, for old computers etc. Does it provide a reliable information to decide on a particular distro? [06:24] linuxpc: its a bit like horoscope [06:24] topics [06:24] ? [06:28] can you suggest some websites like distrowatch.com where I can get some info on various linux distros? [06:29] Hi all. After updating Ubuntu Packages on my little HP Microserver, I now receive an error when I try to run deluged. https://paste.ubuntu.com/23720726/ Can anyone give me so advice as to how I can troubleshoot? Apologies if this is the wrong place to be asking! [06:29] linuxpc: its a good place to get info, dont take rank number too seriously [06:30] @PythonProblems ooks like the python version / syntax may have changed? Tried updateing Deluge if there is one available? [06:30] allorder, ok. [06:36] @Takagami Thanks for the fast reply! I don't think there is a Deluged update available. I added the deluge-team/ppa repository, and ran apt-get update and still end up with the same error when I attempt to run the daemon. [06:37] You may lose some settings but have you tried to reconfigure the package since the system updates? [06:37] 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure deluge*' [06:37] Just a stab in the dark... === stan is now known as Guest60868 [06:43] @Takagami Hmm. It's a headless configuration on a little HP MicroServer. So I ran the update for Deluged* and not Deluge, but I still receive the same error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23720776/ === stan is now known as Guest15906 [06:44] ran the dpkg-reconfigure command, not Update. Apologies === stan is now known as Guest60239 [06:51] PythonProblems not sure what else to try... I'm not up on python and I don't use Deluge or the Deluge headless daemon... But from the error it looks like the python code that deluge uses is not being executed properly by the version of python installed... maybe try to roll back any python updates that occured, if any? [06:52] If the system updates you installed have been out for a few days, there may be some entries on the Deluge github for bug reports? I dunno... [06:54] Drone` hi [06:54] Ok. Thanks for your help mate. I'll keep investigating. Cheers [06:55] No worries PythonProblems! HNY!! [06:56] same to you! [06:59] I wonder if my web cacheing service is doing weird things with apt-get.... maybe that's why it has size mismatch issues... [07:02] hi [07:03] i want help about this question http://askubuntu.com/questions/857155/how-to-create-system-restore-point-with-rsync [07:03] ufw question ... I deny port 22 for both in and out (ufw deny in 22, ufw deny out 22) but nmap still reports 22/tcp open [07:04] pavlos, did you reload ufw? [07:04] how? [07:05] sudo ufw reload [07:05] pavlos I don't understand the mystery of ufw :) [07:05] eelstrebor, let me try ... ballpen, ufw is fine [07:05] Sure it is [07:06] eelstrebor, nmap continues to say port 22 open after reload [07:07] pavlos, also, unless your system is directly connected to your ISP with no router, check your port forward rules on your router. Sometimes it will report as open if it is forwarding, even if the destination is closed? Just an idea... [07:07] it will if you're scanning the localhost [07:09] pavlos, try using grc.com "shields up" app [07:09] I'm working on my 16.04 system, I have ssh running. I decided to deny access to 22, hence the rules. But, from another term I can still ssh 0 [07:09] or scan the firewall from another pc on the networl [07:09] I thought ufw would block access [07:10] I like https://pentest-tools.com/network-vulnerability-scanning/tcp-port-scanner-online-nmap personally... [07:10] pavlos, if you did it right it should block the port - what does ufw status show you? [07:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720855/ [07:12] GRC's brute force password calculator is awesome! 76.8 trillion trillion trillion million years... hehehehe [07:14] Not only did Russia manipulate elections using Indians working in different places, they are noe forcefully manipulating the media.

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [07:15] pavlos, looks ok to me - you could try being more specific by executing ufw deny 22/tcp [07:16] eelstrebor, done ... pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu.com/23720874/ [07:17] pavlos, what does a port scan shor now [07:19] nmap canyon reports 22/tcp open and nc -zv canyon 22 reports Connection to canyon 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded! canyon my hostname 10.0.0.12 [07:23] pavlos, don't know what to tell you - the port should be blocked - maybe try ufw reject 22/tcp? with no rules ufw will block all incoming traffic - you might try running ufw without any rules and see if that blocks incoming attempts to port 22 [07:25] eelstrebor, I tried reject rule instead of deny ... same behavior. It is strange b/c I expected not to be able to ssh 0 ... I will read more on ufw. Ty and happy new year [07:32] pavlos: is ufw enabled at all? [07:34] ducasse, yes, ufw enable and ufw status reports the DENY ports [07:35] I must be missing something simple [07:36] also tried ufw deny ssh (kinda simple, using protocol name) [07:41] Yep... looks like my web cache messes with the apt repositories.... ugh... Looks like some exception rules are in order... [07:43] it should be as simple as sudo ufw deny port 22 [07:49] Hi, I've added "ppa:materieller/teamspeak3" and ran "apt-get update", but it's packages do not appear when I run "apt-cache search teamspeak".

I can enter rescue mode and get a generic VGA interface, but then I don't have internet to apt-get nvidia-current... any suggestions? I tried the nosetmode boot option and no luck [09:27] (using ubuntu server and mini iso's) [09:28] (16.04) [09:29] zerorax: ethernet may work in recovery mode I guess [09:29] zerorax: but no wireless woudn't suprise me [09:29] I don't have ethernet as an option [09:29] zerorax: also it can get a bit confussed between a Nivia or intel when it's both I guess, but I don't have one with both [09:29] zerorax: this is more of a guess than aything else, but I guess you can set it up yourself telling it which to use or not use etc [09:30] the solution is to install nvidia-current , but I need networking to do that, and I tried all the workarounds people posted on different forums with no luck [09:30] zerorax: Ubuntu server is not meant to have a GUI [09:30] zerorax: by the way [09:30] I don't want a GUI!!! [09:30] and mini isoes uhw hat's that [09:30] I just want ubuntu to boot [09:30] oh ok [09:31] I want to use this laptop as a home server... There's no bios option to disable the nvidia graphics [09:31] zerorax: bios no, but in Ubuntu itself you can probably do it some how [09:31] perhaps [09:31] but i can't get there to try [09:32] i just get a black screen after grub [09:32] zerorax: well via the command line, you may be able to do something even, but not sure [09:32] oh a black screen after grub, not even into recery mode and its terminal ? [09:32] I can get into recovery mode [09:32] in the recovery mode terminal, you can probably do something, but I don't know the commands [09:32] zerorax: you may chroot into this system using a live-stick or similar. thats perhaps easier that using recovery mode [09:32] but I can't get into the system with wlan0 working so that I can install nvidia-current [09:33] *than [09:33] zerorax: you can probably disable nvidia on the command line forceing it to use Intel [09:33] I dislike this situation [09:33] I've been messing around for 3 hours with this [09:33] well you wanted ngvidia disabled it sounded like [09:33] so it wouldl use intel graphic s instead [09:34] the reason I use ubuntu is because I want things to just work [09:34] well that won't alwasy be the case, depending on hardware [09:34] I'm frustrated [09:35] uh yeah [09:35] chroot is easy and provides your needed networking. [09:35] yeah, that's true [09:35] try what koffeinfriedhof is saying I guess [09:35] do i need to set up any symlinks for the chroot? [09:38] zerorax: http://askubuntu.com/questions/56687/how-to-chroot-ubuntu1 bit older but should work [09:38] zerorax: did you boot with 'nosetmode' or was that just a typo? [09:39] I booted with whatever the string is that the forum posts suggested, I don't remember the exact wording [09:42] zerorax: nomodeset is xserver related. until 14.04 to use bootoption "text" or "textonly". But this does not work > 14.04 and I do not know newer commands :) [09:42] damn [09:44] so, like I said: start live-medium, mount your installation and chroot into.. [09:44] happy new year!

I should be able to watch something like this and not have the anvil ring make my ears bleed while also being able to hear what they are saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv3dPHneGI8 [11:42] meldron, cal -m January http://paste.ubuntu.com/23721599/ [11:42] http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/cal.1.html i am looking for the cal version which has this manual [11:43] cfhowlett: yeah cal -M in this version is not working for cal only for ncal, but there a other cal versions, may be some one here knows where to get them [11:44] Can I backup my downloaded packages from ubuntu 16.10 to use it for installing them on ubuntu 16.04 on a system so I won't have to download them again? [11:44] atralheaven_, downloaded? not installed via apt? [11:45] meldron: Try this "ncal -M -C" that uses ncal but forces the ouput to be the same of cal. [11:45] cfhowlett: they're already installed, on ubuntu 16.10, I want to install ubuntu 16.04 on a system and I don't want to download them again to install them, is it possible? [11:45] Ichimusai: thanks [11:46] 16.10 packages will not run in 16.04 [11:46] cfhowlett: 'cal -M' (capital 'M') fails here as well, but is listed in the man page. bug? [11:46] cfhowlett: even packages like firefox etc? [11:46] meldron: Something is borked in cal in Ubuntu, it should be notified upstreams, the man page mentons cal -M but it actually do not work. [11:46] atralheaven_, mixing repos and version leads to tears and anguish. don't do it. [11:47] Ichimusai: yeah read about it on lunchpad, it least the should update the man page that this option is only woriking for ncal [11:47] so I have to download them again... thanks! [11:47] thats one of the reasons i am looking for another cal verison but i just cant find one [11:48] meldron: I think there is pretty much just cal in there. Of course you can roll your own from source in worst case. [11:49] Ichimusai: do you know where i can get the sources [11:49] meldron: Anyways, if the "ncal -M -C" trick solves your problem it may be worthwilte to notify the package maintainer about the issue (again) and see if they will fix it. [11:50] meldron: You probably have to go back to the BSD and port it again, should not be too difficult, https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/ncal/ [11:51] meldron: Considering most others seems to have pulled the same port and probably suffers the same bug. [11:51] meldron: Anyways, ncal and cal is the same program actually, so I would not put too much time on that. [11:52] Ichimusai: i think i had a newer/other verison on arch linux, may be i can get the source from them [11:52] meldron: Sure, that's one way. [11:54] hii happy new year [11:54] i got a little question [11:55] i trid chrome and firefox both of them are damn slow, which browser are you guys recomending to use ? [11:55] !browser | joci [11:55] joci: Some of the Web Browsers in Ubuntu's repositories include: Firefox (XUL, Gecko), Rekonq (KDE, WebKit), Konqueror (KDE, KHTML/WebKit), Chromium (GTK+, WebKit), Epiphany(GTK+, WebKit), Arora (Qt/KDE, WebKit), Midori (GTK+, WebKit), w3m (terminal-based), links2 (terminal-based or graphical, see !manpage), edbrowse (terminal-based). Along with many others. [11:57] joci: It is my experience that if the web browser is slow it is your specs that is a bit low and you may benefit from using a light-weight windows manager instead. You probably will want to use chrome or firefox. [12:00] Ichimusai what is light-weight windows manager stands for ? [12:02] Please help me. I am really in despair. I was using Xubuntu 16.04 and everything was going fine until my wifi stopped working. It would not be detected. I tried the solutions at https://superuser.com/questions/1162152/wifi-driver-not-detected-in-xubuntu-16-04-for-dell-inspiron-15r-5521 but none would work. Finally, I decided re-installing Xubuntu and when the OS booted up for the first time, the wifi adapter was detected. But again aft [12:03] gun [12:03] Please help me. [12:03] I am really out of options [12:04] what you want [12:05] install other system upgraded 16.10 [12:06] !wifi | raju [12:06] raju: Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [12:07] hello, please help me how to connect my laptop with my mobile using Wifi? [12:07] !ics | arulmagi [12:07] arulmagi: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [12:07] arulmagi: connect it how ? [12:07] arulmagi: to do what [12:08] ubottu : I checked the website thoroughly but none of the options seemed to help me. [12:08] raju: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [12:09] actually for my mobile has the internet connection, I want to use the internet in laptop by using wifi option [12:09] raju, if the troubleshooting doesn't work, not much more to do than file a bug and wait for the cure. [12:09] arulmagi: you want your phone to be a proxy for the laptop [12:10] raju: what model wifi card is [12:10] is it [12:10] ikonia : Intel Centrino Wireless N 2230 [12:10] I want to use my mobile hotspot to be connected to ubuntu [12:10] arulmagi: ok, so the problem is your phone [12:10] arulmagi: your phone needs to support a hotspot [12:11] raju: if you open a terminal and type "sudo iwconfig" what do you get as a reponse (use pastebin.ubuntu.com please) [12:11] it does support a hotspot, mine is Motorola E2 [12:11] arulmagi: disussion over [12:11] arulmagi: you want to use your phone as a hotspot....it doesn't support being a hotspot, done [12:11] not an ubuntu problem [12:12] sad + true [12:12] ikonia : here you go http://pastebin.com/NNfwsfnh [12:13] raju: ok, so the card is not being detected at all [12:13] I have used my mobile as a hotspot in Manjaro previously, you know the same mobile [12:13] arulmagi: if it supports being a hotspot, ubuntu will detect it's wifi network and connect to it [12:13] arulmagi: it's that simple [12:13] raju: has this ever worked for you ? [12:14] if i clicked on the 'Enable Wifi' connection it shows as 'device not ready' [12:14] ikonia : Yes. But when I was installing Xubuntu for the first time yesterday, during installation my Wireless Adapter was working fine . After reboot, it worked for a few minutes and then it went quite. === [ADN] is now known as _ADN_ [12:14] hi [12:15] ikonia : After that it has never been enabled. [12:15] arulmagi: the ubuntu wifi device is not ready ? or the hotspot is not ready [12:16] raju: is it possible you have disabled it with a kill switch [12:16] "wifi device not ready" [12:16] arulmagi: you said that [12:16] ikonia: I tried rebooting the system numerous times, reset BIOS settings and disabled power management but to no sucess. [12:16] arulmagi: is that the ubuntu wifi device, or the hotspot device thats not ready [12:16] raju: not quite what I asked, most laptops have a kill switch to enable/disable the wifi device as a device, [12:16] ubuntu wifi device [12:16] arulmagi: can your ubuntu machine connect to wifi networks ? [12:17] arulmagi: eg: can it connect to networks now [12:17] ikonia: Maybe, I don't know. When I use the kill switch , bluetooth gets turned off and on properly but Wifi won't. [12:17] by USB tethering i have connected it now [12:18] arulmagi: never mind, I'm asking you questions, your ignoring them and answering another different question that no-one asked [12:18] ikonia: When I do grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog , the logs are here http://pastebin.com/tPzxa7BP. [12:18] raju: ok, so you need to have a look in the syslog and look for references to the intel wifi device, see if it sees it, then see what it does when it trys to bring it up [12:18] ahhh well done [12:19] ikonia: Interestingly, it says WiFi hardware radio set disabled. [12:20] raju: Jan 1 13:21:51 max NetworkManager[954]: [1483257111.0659] WiFi hardware radio set disabled [12:20] yes, [12:20] ikonia: So, what do I do ? [12:21] raju: need to understand why it's being flagged as disabled [12:21] there was another line...hang on [12:21] Jan 1 13:21:45 max NetworkManager[954]: [1483257105.6647] urfkill disappeared from the bus [12:21] ikonia: Ok. Sorry ! [12:21] raju: an interesting test would be to boot the live media and see if it works from live media [12:22] ikonia: Yes, I tested it and it works fine there. [12:22] raju: so something in your actual install is disabling the card [12:23] (at a device level) [12:24] ikonia: So, what are my options ? I reinstalled it for the second time today and yet the problem persists. [12:26] raju: that certainly is an option, but it would be useful to understand what triggered this at least, and if possible why it remains disabled [12:26] raju: depends how you wwant to approach it really [12:26] ikonia : Please guide me. [12:26] ikonia & raju: Did you try to rmmod / modprobe the driver to see if it comes back alive [12:28] Ichimusai: not even looked if the module is loaded, I suspect it has been loaded at boot looking at the syslog output, but it's all worthwhile to check [12:28] Ichimusai: Please guide me which commands do I need to type for rmmod / modprobe. [12:28] ikonia: I think so too, but it could have a bug. Also the systemd people are not inplementing all hardware workaround hacks which means old bugs are coming back some times. [12:29] raju: Can you find the driver name in your logs? [12:30] systemd people and hardware hacks ? what === paalgyula_ is now known as paalgyula [12:31] Ichimusai: No, I can't. But the driver name is , I think, is iwlwifi. [12:31] ikonia: With the introduction of systemd for startup it's handling more and more of the networking stuff also which has not been completely unproblematict. [12:32] raju: Try modprobe -r iwlwifi [12:32] Ichimusai:.....it's handled through network manager [12:34] Ichimusai: Well , here you go rmmod: ERROR: missing module name. modprobe: FATAL: Error running remove command for iwlwifi [12:34] raju: So the module is called something else I guess. [12:35] Ichimusai: How do I list all of the modules, then ? [12:35] ikonia: Even If I do list all of the modules, my WIFI adapter won't show uo since it is not being detected. [12:35] raju: lshw -class network [12:36] raju: Try sudo insmod iwlwifi [12:36] Ichimusai: Here you go :- http://pastebin.com/yHFjKjSw [12:37] Ichimusai: For the second one, insmod: ERROR: could not load module iwlwifi: No such file or directory [12:37] You are right it only lists the ethernet device there. [12:38] raju: I suggest booting the live system and then trying to find out which driver is loaded for the wifi. Then back to the installed system and see if you can activate the driver. === jdfx is now known as T1nFoilH4t [12:38] +1 [12:38] Ichimusai: How do I find that ? through lshw -class network ?? [12:39] Happy New Year everyone [12:39] Happy New Year BluesKaj! [12:39] Hi j41 [12:39] Hi! :P [12:40] raju: try sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source [12:40] lsmod should show the loaded modules [12:40] raju: then sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer [12:40] EriC^^: Package 'bcmwl-kernel-source' is not installed, so not removed [12:41] raju: ok try the above [12:41] EriC^^, isn't b43 for broadcom? he said he has intel ... [12:41] then sudo modprobe b43 [12:41] EriC^^: Yes, I have Intel. [12:41] cfhowlett: yeah i don't know, i'm following some thread that says Solved [12:41] Yes, intel device. [12:41] oh [12:41] EriC^^: sudo modprobe b43 returns nothing. [12:41] nevermind guys [12:42] raju: try rfkill list [12:42] raju, after the above ... reboot to a usb. identify the active module. install that to your actual installation [12:42] Ichimusai: Ok, bro. Please wait for 2 mins while I live boot the system and paste you the results. Shall I communicate with you with the live system ?? [12:43] it doesn't show anything in lshw, maybe it's hardblocked? [12:43] EriC^^: 2: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no [12:44] raju: ok thanks [12:44] raju: I have to leave shortly I'm afraid but identify the difference in modules loaded, then try to install and insert the missing modules when running from the installed system. If it works in live but not installed I am fairly certain that there lies your problem. [12:44] Hello! Any one [12:44] raju: Sorry I have to dash. [12:44] Ichimusai: What if the driver happens to be iwlwifi ?? [12:44] Ichimusai: How do I install that ?? [12:44] EriC^^: It works in live and not in installed system [12:45] raju: http://askubuntu.com/questions/695191/how-to-install-wifi-driver-iwlwifi-4-2-0-16-generic [12:47] how to run command or execute a program at a specific time in terminal ? e.g if i want to run the command "ls" in 5 mins time how do i do that ? [12:47] manjula_, cron the the commadn you need [12:48] use sleep or cron [12:48] Ichimusai : OK, my driver turns to be iwlwifi. [12:48] ikonia: I am doing the steps mentioned in https://askubuntu.com/questions/695191/how-to-install-wifi-driver-iwlwifi-4-2-0-16-generic [12:48] yo [12:49] raju: why.... [12:49] raju: you shouldn't need to install anything [12:49] ikonia: Ichimusai said me to do so. [12:49] you should not be installing anything [12:50] you know the module needed is on your system as the livecd proved it and when you first booted it worked [12:50] so there should be no need to install anything [12:50] installing random things is not a good idea [12:50] ikonia: Then What do I do ? [12:50] raju: I've not been following the conversation, so I don't know what you're currently doing [12:50] Hey, i have got a problem with my Notebook. I have got an AMD A10-8700P APU with integrated and external graphic cards. Now, with the discontinue of fglrx in Ubuntu 16.04 and other Debian based distros, i cant get my display to work without the option nomodeset on boot. Can anyone help me? [12:50] ikonia: I agree but I am reallu desperate. [12:51] raju: tell me where you are up to and what you know as fact at the moment [12:51] (as I've not been following) [12:51] ikonia: Ichimusai told me to boot the system through live usb , then identify the driver module in use and then install it. [12:51] raju: so identifying it is a good idea [12:51] raju: do you know what it is ? [12:52] ikonia: Yes, iwlwifi [12:52] raju: ok, so lets look at your kernel version quickly, what does unamr -r show [12:53] ^^^ uname -r [12:53] oops, good spot [12:53] Steam does not launch in ubuntu.

[12:54] raju: ok, so what happens if you "sudo depmod iwlwifi" [12:54] i have it installed [12:54] ikonia: depmod: ERROR: Bad version passed iwlwifi [12:54] just need launch code [12:55] raju: ok, so there is a great start, a.) the module is on your system b.) we now know why the card is disabled it can't load it [12:55] ./sh bash steam something??? [12:55] cuddle, start steam from command line to find the error. then go to #ubuntu-steam for support [12:55] ikonia: Glad to hear that. What do we do now ? [12:56] raju: need to understand why this is happening [12:56] going to have to do a little bit of reading of the docs/code [12:57] Hey, i have got a problem with my Notebook. I have got an AMD A10-8700P APU with integrated and external graphic cards. Now, with the discontinue of fglrx in Ubuntu 16.04 and other Debian based distros, i cant get my display to work without the option nomodeset on boot. CAn someone help me please? [12:57] raju: if you do "modinfo iwlwifi" if it gives any output, can you put it in a pastebin please [12:57] ikonia: Thanks bro. Really appreciate that. I am waiting. Let me know when you are done. Shall I have a cup of tea now ?? [12:57] hey every body i have ubuntu 16 ,i want to use a library http://echoprint.me/codegen , should i make and install it and use .so file or there is another way to use it without installing ? i use Cmake as build systemm [12:57] abb4s: you should never blindly do that [12:58] ikonia: but i cant read all the makefile [12:58] abb4s: you don't have to read the makefile [12:59] abb4s: the git page has clear documentation on it [12:59] ikonia: what i should do ? [12:59] okay [13:00] but ikonia there is not another way that i include the src file instead of build and install it and link compiler to .so file [13:00] ikonia: http://pastebin.com/HbDuZb81 [13:00] abb4s: what ? [13:01] raju: so that looks very good, [13:01] ikonia: is there another way that i include the library's source files instead of build and install it and link compiler to the .so file [13:01] ?? [13:01] abb4s: what you are saying makes no sense [13:01] 中国人路过 [13:02] 。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 [13:02] pangjiahao: please don't do that [13:02] ？？？ [13:03] raju: when this was working at the start, did you do an apt-get upgrade ? [13:04] ikonia: sorry if i cant say it precisly , i want to use a library in c++ ,i has to build and install it and link g++ to the shared library (.so file) . but i have a question that can i use this library source without installing it ? [13:04] ikonia: The first time I booted Xubuntu, it was working. I did an apt upgrade and then rebooted. Voila ! The wifi refused to work. [13:04] abb4s: how do you expect to use a library if you don't build it [13:05] version: backported from Linux (next-20150903-0-ga672f92) using backports backports-20150903-0-g7b34ea2 i don't have this in my modinfo [13:05] raju_: ok, so I'm reading a few lines at the moment that may suggest this is as simple as your update is using the wrong firmware [13:05] ioria: yeah, I think he's got the backports repo enabled [13:05] yup [13:05] which doesn't tie in with the firmware on the system [13:05] ikonia: so i cant build it without installing ? [13:05] raju_: do you know how to check what repos you have enabled ? [13:05] ikonia: Ichimusal told me to do so . I rebooted the system still to no avail. [13:06] abb4s: what ?? [13:06] raju_: told you to do what exactly ? [13:06] Well, you know, install the backport as suggested in https://askubuntu.com/questions/695191/how-to-install-wifi-driver-iwlwifi-4-2-0-16-generic. [13:06] ikonia: so i cant build the library without installing ? [13:06] abb4s: do you understand what you are saying [13:07] abb4s: the library is built from source code....how do you install source code [13:07] raju_, i think you used snapd === pickle_ is now known as GavinBelson [13:07] raju_: is this ubuntu 16.04 ? [13:08] ikonia: Yes, 16.04 [13:08] raju_: ok so those instructions are for 14.04 [13:08] raju_: is this a new install - there is nothing on it ? [13:08] (nothing of value) [13:08] Yes, it is a new install. [13:08] raju_: ok - lets re-install and walk this through [13:08] as it looks like you've got some random junk on there now [13:09] ikonia: As you say. [13:10] ikonia: What happened ? [13:10] raju_: what do you mean ? [13:11] ikonia : Do i need to re install the system ? [13:11] raju_: lets do that yes, lets get a clean good install and move it forward until it breaks and then fix it clean [13:11] ikonia: Can't we just remove the backports ? [13:11] raju_: and replace it with what ? [13:11] ikonia: Sorry [13:12] raju_: no need for sorry [13:12] raju_: I'd guess it will only take 20 minutes max to re-install if this is a clean install [13:12] ikonia: So what you are trying to say is I reinstall the system , continue to use the wifi and then wait until it breaks. [13:13] ikonia: Bro, can you give me some details on where I can contact you ? [13:13] raju_: install new, test it, take a note of the modinfo iwlwifi output, run your apt-get update, see if it breaks as it did before, if it does, come back here [13:13] raju_: I'll be here, I'm going nowhere, [13:14] Ok, Thanks. [13:14] ikonia: I just need a smoke and I will be right back. Thanks for your help.

[13:49] Fischmasterus, from the specs i see AMD Radeon R7 M360 can you paste lspci | grep VGA [13:49] ioria: Running Windows currently, would need to reboot and note down [13:50] Fischmasterus, nope, just go in Device Manager [13:50] okay [13:50] Fischmasterus, from control panel, i guess [13:50] yeah im in, [13:51] It shows two devices, called AMD Radeon (TM) R7 M360 and AMD Radeon R7 Graphics [13:51] ikonia: Bro, where are you ? [13:52] The problem on my device is, the graphic cards are connected. The second will be passed trough the main one. So you cant disable the internal. And The BIOS is a piy [13:52] Fischmasterus, i think R7 M360 it's not supported by the amd AMDGPU-Pro Driver : http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx [13:53] Yeah, well not yet maybe [13:54] Fischmasterus, yep [13:56] http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/E5/D5/73e60c39768de5d5.png Fischmasterus my nvidia work driver [13:57] nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F [13:57] System: Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.8.0-34-generic x86_64 (64 bit) [13:57] Desktop: Unity 7.5.0 Distro: Ubuntu 16.10 [13:57] Machine: System: Acer (portable) product: Aspire F5-573G v: V1.04 [13:57] Mobo: Acer model: Captain_SK v: V1.04 [13:58] UEFI [Legacy]: Insyde v: V1.04 date: 04/26/2016 [13:59] Help, my wireless adapter is not getting detected.

[14:06] jinnn: with format you mean just create a new partition/filesystem, clear the usbdrive or overwrite the old data, so its not readable anymore? [14:06] jinnn: depends on what you're trying to achieve [14:06] jinnn, yes, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=4M [14:07] someone please help me. I just did a clean install of xubuntu and my wifi driver is not detected. [14:07] raju: Do you know what Wi-Fi hardware you have? [14:08] Menzador: Yes, Intel centrino wireless n2230 [14:08] Does the `openssh-client` package suffice for talking to a server via ssh, or does one need the whole shebang anyway? [14:09] raju: Try [ sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi ; sudo modprobe iwlwifi ] [14:09] adrian_1908: It suffices [14:09] Stinky-Feet: thanks! [14:09] Menzador: Please help me. This is the 3rd clean install I have done today but to no avail. [14:10] Menzador: modprobe: FATAL: error running remove command for iwlwifi [14:10] Menzador: and sudo modprobe iwlwifi returns nothing. [14:11] raju: What does [ lspci -v ] return?

[14:18] here you go https://paste.ubuntu.com/23722107/ [14:18] raju__: Your wireless hardware, if you have any, is not being detected by Ubuntu. [14:19] That may sound redundant, but have you booted from a Live image? [14:19] Did the wireless work in the Live image? [14:19] Menzador: But I do have a wireless hardware. It was working fine until yesterday and then it suddenly went silent. [14:20] Menzador: Yes, wireless works fine in Live Image. [14:20] raju__: Try [ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware ] [14:21] raju__: What did you change between working and failing? Software upgrades? New hardware? [14:22] :) [14:23] Menzador: Reinstallation of linux-firmware is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [14:23] Stinky-Feet: I do check to see if there are any upgrades at least once a day. [14:25] Menzador: What do you suggest, brother ?? [14:27] raju__: I might try booting the Live image again and rolling out a chroot into your install and reinstalling linux-firmware. [14:28] Menzador: Please guide me. [14:28] OK. Boot into your Live image. [14:29] Menzador: ok , one sec. [14:29] raju__: Use these instructions (I have to leave soon) - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery [14:31] Menzador: Ok, i have booted into the live image. [14:31] rajuu - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery and then from there install the linux-firmware package inside the chroot. [14:31] I'll see you in an hour. [14:32] Menzador: Ok, bro. I shall be waiting. === Ig0r is now known as niee [14:46] rajuu: how did you get on [14:47] ikonia: God. Glad you are here. [14:48] I did a clean install but my wifi won't be detected [14:48] rajuu: so it didn't get detected from the clean install at all [14:48] rajuu: only the livecd [14:48] yes [14:48] so it's different this time [14:49] I guess so [14:49] rajuu: can you remember the module name for your wireless card ? [14:49] iwlwifi [14:49] what happens if you "sudo depmod iwlwifi" [14:50] ikonia: depmod: ERROR: Bad version passed iwlwifi [14:51] raju: ok, so same thing, which based on the earlier looks like it's trying to load the wrong firmware [14:51] raju: so if you "modinfo iwlwifi" and output that to a pastebin please [14:52] ikonia: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23722223/ [14:52] raju: ok, so also show me "uname -r" please [14:53] ikonia: 4.4.0-21-generic [14:53] perfect, so you're in in sync [14:53] off the top of your head do you remember if the liveboot is running 4.4.0-21 ? [14:54] ikonia: Yes [14:54] ikonia: i think raju is running the livecd right now [14:55] raju: are you on the livecd now ? [14:55] tomreyn: thank you ! [14:55] ikonia: yes [14:55] raju: ahhhh, [14:55] (based on my scroll back) [14:55] raju: so thats why it looks good [14:55] tomreyn: saviour, thank you [14:55] ikonia: Ok, my bad/ [14:55] ikonia: I just did the clean install and didn't do any ugrades. [14:56] raju: I need you to run those commands on the "broken" install, and show me the outpuf from the broken install (save them to a file if you have to them read that file from the livecd) [14:56] ikonia: so it should be same, rght ? [14:56] raju: it may differ, thats what we want to see [14:57] ikonia: How do I do that ? I am currently on the live cd. Do I need to boot again into the broken install [14:57] raju: thats right [14:57] ikonia: ok, give me few moments. [14:58] welcome :) [14:58] raju: does the broken install have a wired connection you can work from ? [14:58] ikonia: yes, it does. [14:58] raju: it may make sense to work from that rather than reboot [14:58] (between broken and livecd) [14:59] ikonia: The inetrnet is working fine under wired connection. [14:59] raju: perfect [14:59] ikonia: So now, what do we do ? [14:59] raju: are you on the broken install now ? [15:00] No , on the live cd [15:00] raju: ok, boot into the broken install [15:00] ikonia: ok [15:02] hello [15:02] sup [15:02] ikonia: It is 8:30 and I need to have supper. Shall I contact you after eating ?? [15:02] rajuu: thats fine [15:02] good to be focussed, so get fed [15:03] how to change the time settings on lxde to show time in 12 hr format?

[15:36] wo why it is spamming this [15:36] rajuu: if you "depmod" the module on this broken install, what do you get [15:36] wsdjeg: because we dont want spam in here [15:36] just you dont? [15:36] ikonia: sudo depmod iwlwifi [15:36] wsdjeg: no, the channel doesn't [15:36] raju: thats it [15:37] maybe some vim user would like to have a try?

[15:39] I am sorry [15:39] ikonia: Okay [15:39] wsdjeg: no problem [15:40] I should only asked it in #vim [15:40] wsdjeg: no you shouldn't [15:42] С новым годом! [15:42] ikonia: Both the output seems to be safe. [15:42] rajuu: the same ? [15:42] yes [15:43] rajuu: so thats very odd [15:43] and now the problem is I just booted into the live cd and wifi us not detected [15:43] rajuu: so now the livecd is broken === SirMarky1 is now known as SirMarky [15:44] ikonia: Yes.

[15:52] rajuu: I don't think so, I'm just not clear in my head how it can behave this different [15:53] rajuu: are you %101 sure you're booting into the livecd [15:54] ikonia: Yes, Your Higness!

[16:00] ikonia: Ok. Leave it [16:01] ikonia: Guess I need to take it to the service center. [16:01] raju: I don't thnk you do to be honest [16:01] But thanks for your help and time. [16:01] you're welcome to the time [16:01] the service center will tell you to use windows [16:01] ikonia: Not everyone is generous as like you. I really appreciate that. [16:02] hii! i got a little issue, i use chrome and firefox both of the are quite slow, how can i speed them up? what is the issue? [16:02] ikonia: What do you mean by ' to be honest' ? [16:03] raju: I mean I don't think you need to take it to a service center [16:04] ikonia: Maybe. But what options do I have ? [16:04] raju: need to work through the problem [16:05] ikonia: I am not much that of a geek as you. I researched a lot on the internet and tried several things before coming in the IRC. But none helped. [16:06] Is it possible for ubuntu 12.04 to install packages from 16.04? [16:06] raju: I apprecaite that its not a straight forward situation to resolve, it's quite odd, especially now your livecd is failing [16:06] raju: but a service center won't do anything for you [16:06] MrSmith33: no [16:07] raju, what is the wifi controller make and model?

[16:17] Hello linux_user21 [16:18] When I type in "ls -l" on the command line, I see see filenames along with their respective file sizes. What is the unit of those file sizes - it mb? [16:18] linux_user21, bytes [16:18] megabytes? [16:19] Just bytes [16:19] linux_user21: nope bytes, use -lh to get more human friendly output [16:19] Sweet! Thanks! === dan_ is now known as Guest11899 [16:21] Is there any way I can absolutely delete all files related to kismet (an app I downloaded a while back)? [16:21] is there any way to force a specific package to automatically avoid any changes in /etc? dpkg-divert is not ideal solution for me ... as I am talking /etc/grub.d/ [16:22] Guys, is anyone here knowledgeable about setting up the Ubuntu-SDK? It appears that cmake is configured with the qmake path of the system but the Qt version seems to use a different path. How would I proceed from here? [16:22] linux_user21, sudo apt purge kismet [16:23] I am inside the settings of the kits, btw [16:23] linux_user21: assume it was installed standard way using ubuntu package you can do sudo apt-get purge kismet. This will remove software and configs but not files you've created using the kismet (logs) [16:25] How do I delete the logs? [16:25] linux_user21: yuo might also need to remove the "kismet-plugins" package (assuming you installed the "kismet" .deb (dpkg/apt) package) [16:25] linux_user21, sudo apt purge kismet* ..? not sure [16:26] linux_user21: how did you install kismet? [16:27] tomreyn: I just read the instructions on a stackoverflow thread lol [16:27] linux_user21: I think you have to delete them manually (i mean logged wireless trafic dumps - files you created, so you should know where they are) [16:29] linux_user21: if you cannot tell what steps you followed to install it exactly, it will be difficult to tell how to remove any remainders, other than by carrying out a full reinstallation (and even that might leave tracks behind, if you are trying to cover it from someone who is into IT forensics). [16:32] mpo42vr: this sounds like a question for #ubuntu-app-devel [16:32] tomreyn: Thanks a lot!

[16:38] hi [16:38] ikonia: It doesn't matter because it will be one time job on CI server [16:38] MrSmith33: it's too late, you've wrecked the dependencies for the whole machine [16:38] MrSmith33: so it doens't matter if it's a "one time" thing [16:38] j41 I'm sorry I don't know what you mean first time here [16:38] Machine is virtualized and reset each time [16:39] !question | Guest99478 [16:39] Guest99478: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily).

[16:39] because I dont control what travis.ci has on their servers [16:39] His is hp and mine is dell. [16:39] raju_: blacklist what ? [16:39] thank you sorry for that [16:39] MrSmith33: what they have doen't matter [16:39] Guest99478: It's okay! [16:40] ikonia: it does to a degree. you have a limited time to run your commands on these systems, and they're just meant to be dumb build nodes. [16:40] raju_,read the first post I gave , to the end [16:41] tomreyn: not really as travis just launches the job, [16:41] I am trying to revitalize an old Emachine ubuntu keeps freezing on me. not sure if it's ubuntu or maybe the hard drives as they are old. They seem alright, but who knows. [16:41] ikonia: you wouldn't want to dist-upgrade them during a build [16:41] ikonia: He sugested this http://askubuntu.com/questions/818680/centrino-wireless-n-2230-not-working-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04 [16:41] raju_: let me have a read [16:41] Guest99478: When does it freeze on you? [16:41] randomly [16:41] ikonia: oh you know it, so i'll mute, sorry. [16:42] Guest99478: During install, when you're using it (e.g.: at the desktop), or some time else? [16:42] raju_: so I see what he's saying, but I'm not sure it's the same as your situation [16:42] all of the above [16:42] raju_: do an "lsmod" and put it into a pastebin please [16:42] in programs usually sometimes just in desktop [16:42] doesn't seem to be a real pattern [16:43] Guest99478: What are the specifications of your machine?

[16:46] 2.7 gigs of ram intel celeron cpu 420 @1.60GHZ Gallium 0.4 on nv63 64-bit [16:46] raju_: so I'll be very surprised if this works, however [16:46] raju_: blacklist dell_wmi and reboot [16:48] is that what you were looking for? [16:48] ikonia: like this https://paste.ubuntu.com/23722691/ [16:48] raju_: yup [16:49] raju_: I'll be surprised, but try it [16:49] ikonia: Okay. [16:49] guess I lost you, but I think I might have answered it for myself I didn't think my specs were that low [16:49] thanks anyway [16:51] Guest99478: Still need help? [16:51] I am trying to revitalize an old Emachine ubuntu keeps freezing on me. My specs are 2.7 gigs of ram intel celeron cpu 420 @1.60GHZ Gallium 0.4 on nv63 64-bit. Can anyone help? [16:51] Guest99478: You might be better off with Xubuntu or Lubuntu [16:51] yes thank you [16:51] Guest99478: They run better on older systems [16:51] thats what I'm thinking now [16:52] hello, anyone can point me to a tutorial on how to connect to internet via wifi from the terminal? I installed ubuntu 16.04 with no GUI and I need to connect to a wifi network on boot. I am confused on how to configure wpa_supplicant [16:52] um is there a way I can just load it through this version instead of a complete reinstall? [16:53] ikonia: No, that did not work. [16:53] somebody? [16:54] 有国人吗 [16:54] Guest99478: I think you'll have to reinstall. Try the live cd first. You can just install the desktop enviroment, but I don't think it will have the same affect, as x/lubuntu use different applications [16:54] !cn | lvjesus0 [16:54] lvjesus0: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [16:54] ikonia: That did not work.

I already spent > 1hr trying different things with no success... [16:59] danes: No problem. If it helps, I found those links with a Google search :P [17:00] j41 I tried googling too but I guess the key words I was using were not effective... [17:00] danes: You need to master the art of google-fu! [17:01] :D [17:02] hi [17:03] is bfq patch included in -ck kernel patchset? [17:09] kk [17:09] ikonia: You there ? [17:09] BluesKaj: You there ? [17:09] Who gives a shit, i am here ;) [17:10] woah [17:10] hm... why does the kernel-package has 820 mb dependancies, mostly tex-related stuff o.O? [17:10] what is the package that i need to install to have primus for my laptop? [17:11] Snowboarder: Can you help me ? [17:12] !info primus | shantorn [17:12] shantorn: primus (source: primus): client-side GPU offloading for NVIDIA Optimus. In component universe, is extra.

[17:14] Snowboarder: Xubuntu 16.04 [17:15] Internal, ment integrated on mother board or something else? [17:15] I tried to install ubuntu with encrypted swap using http://linuxbsdos.com/2014/05/28/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-on-encrypted-mbr-partitions/ but the swap isn't recognized. Any ways I can set it up somewhere? [17:15] Snowboarder: Yes, it is internal. Intel Centrino Wireless N2230 [17:19] hi [17:19] Shepard: hi [17:19] so I was trying to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 and it's telling me it wants to remove all sorts of programs that I use, instead of just old packages [17:20] Raju: had same issues with sound card, then swap the system and everything works. Depends on time when hardware was issued, so older issuo of system sometimes work better then newer [17:20] Snowboarder: What do you suggest ? [17:20] ok, i've added ppa for vim8, it turned out the python support wasn't compiled in, so i've removed and broke system a bit. here is an error massage http://wklej.org/id/3003503/ [17:20] Hi [17:20] a lot of the programs (and libraries) seem to be media-related. there's players like banshee, quodlibet, sayonara or vlc. but also programs like adobe reader, empathy, opera, pidgin, sound juicer, xchat. [17:21] Can not check it right now, since i am on mobile [17:21] I am getting blavk screen after ubuntu purple load menu in ubuntu 16.04 [17:21] and there's many more things it has marked as no longer used or no longer supported that I'm using, like gimp. [17:21] and this can't be right. so I deactivated all other package sources and tried again, but it was the same problem. [17:21] Shepard: How are you updating? [17:21] does anyone have an idea what's going on or what I could try? [17:22] sorted, i've used aptitude [17:22] j41: just the regular update UI in ubuntu [17:22] What to do ? [17:22] Shepard, why not clean install? it's lts, you wont do another one anytime soon [17:23] Raju: currently using Mint, and its cool, i mean ubuntu and mint are both based on debian [17:24] Snowboarder: Please send me suggestions at raju17473@gmail.com [17:24] simon_g: that seems like a lot of work. I'd have reconfigure a lot of things that I've set up over the years. I try to avoid that unless something's really horribly broken :) [17:25] simon_g: well I understand him; I also have lot of settings, installed programs, etc. one of reasons why I use ubuntu is I can (while I shouldn't) roll next versions without losing my stuff as I'd do in e.g. Windows [17:25] Snowboarder: Ok, I shall try this too. [17:26] Please give me some suggestion ? [17:26] Shepard: exactly how you trying to upgrade? [17:26] anyway, it seems like maybe some library (maybe something media-related?) is no longer supported in 16.04 and a lot of programs depend on it so it's trying to remove them? [17:26] !nomodeset | hitman1 [17:26] hitman1: 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 [17:26] ducasse: as I said, just the regular ubuntu update UI [17:27] not sure what it's called in the english version [17:27] Ubottu thanks [17:27] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [17:27] Shepard: odd. are you using any ppas? [17:28] ducasse: I deactivated them all and tried again but it didn't make any difference [17:28] Shepard: You could try updating with the command sudo do-release-upgrade [17:28] Shepard: try purging them with ppa-purge [17:29] j41: will that ask me before actually executing the upgrade? [17:29] Shepard: the update manager gui basically just runs do-release-upgrade [17:29] ducasse: what exactly will that do? [17:29] (the purge I mean) [17:29] what about deleting them from /etc/apt/sources.list.d? [17:30] Shepard: remove anything installed from a ppa, so you have the default ubuntu libraries and programs [17:31] BluesKaj: he's tried deactivating them, i suspect some library has been upgraded from a ppa and now blocks the upgrade [17:33] ducasse: so would removing those things installed from ppas also remove any settings related to that? I'm just wondering if I can easily go back from that [17:34] Shepard: no, they are stored under /home most of the time. [17:35] Shepard: besides, since you are going to backup before upgrading anyway, you can go back no matter what - right? [17:36] right... :D [17:38] Shepard: purging ppas before upgrading is the recommended way to do it (as is a backup, of course). [17:38] Hey everyone [17:38] ok, I'll try out some things. thanks! [17:38] hi vicky [17:39] WHats going on [17:39] not much you ? [17:39] same here [17:39] vicky: you use Ubuntu ? [17:40] Hello [17:40] hi Pozzo [17:40] Well I'm new to college, my second sem is going to start tomorrow.

[17:41] Anybody with an idea of a workaround for this bug ? [17:41] I'm in India [17:41] vicky: maybe you got a Ubuntu support issue even, this is the support channel [17:41] Pozzo: it says 'fix released' [17:41] it says but it is not... [17:41] yeah theres a problem [17:42] I'm not able to install Virtual Box to my system [17:42] I still have this issue : the gnome-screensaver switch off the screen... [17:42] vicky: uhmmm sudo apt-get install virtualbox ? [17:42] vicky: or from software centre? [17:42] from software center [17:42] and just 1 second later the screen turn on again but it just displays a black screen with a white cursor [17:43] Pozzo: gnome screensaver isn't that good anyway [17:43] Pozzo: it used to be, but not anymore, you could replace it for xscreensaver which now is better [17:43] The dialog box appears with Install button. But nothing happens on pressing it [17:43] sebsebseb: yes but I'm under ubuntu-gnome ... [17:43] Pozzo: well you still can [17:44] Pozzo: you would even get real screen savers with xscreensaver :) [17:44] yes I know... I have used xscreensaver for years :) [17:44] vicky: could be a problem with it connecting or trying to connect to the repeos [17:44] with the Xmatrix theme :) [17:44] !repos [17:44] The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [17:44] Pozzo: also that doesn't really fix your issue, but as a work around, switch to xscreensaver :d ? [17:44] I will give a try with xscreensaver [17:45] ok [17:45] What do you do sebsebseb? [17:45] be a computer geek somteimes, yep been doing a lot of that today :d [17:45] it will be better that pushing of the power-switch of my screen everytime I left my office [17:46] Pozzo: indeed if that works [17:46] this bug is clearly relative to gnome-screensaver and proprietary nvidia driver [17:46] Pozzo: altough the gnome one should work enough really, but eh all it does now, is locks screen, and makes it go black I guess [17:46] with other PC with intel graphic driver I have no issue [17:46] is there a bug link ? [17:46] Pozzo: if there is an actsaul bug in the package, then you won't just get a fix anyway [17:47] Pozzo: not in that relased version of ubuntu anyway, a possible future one yes [17:47] yes the gnome-screensaver is now very "simple"... just turn off the screen [17:47] it's enough for me... but really "simple" indeed [17:47] Pozzo: indeed, and xscreensaver will work in gnome to anyway :) [17:47] also I think gnome screensaver long ago got forked from xscreensaver even [17:47] I will try that right now [17:48] give me a minute :) [17:48] Pozzo: make sure to disalbe or remoe gnoe screensaer when doing x screenaver [17:48] Pozzo: when it asks which to use put xscreensaver [17:49] Yes I know the trick :) [17:51] ciao [17:51] !list [17:51] Aevan: No warez here!

[18:05] i am able to open as administration [18:05] casa: dont do that [18:05] casa: this could be the reason why firefox is acting that way. [18:06] and running a browser as root is the security hell anyway [18:06] <17WAAWKRA> hey [18:07] then what should i do? [18:08] casa: open a terminal and run: "ls -al |grep root ". what folders and files does it list? [18:09] Anyone know how to get php-fpm 5.6 for Ubuntu 14.04?

I have an ath10k_pci [18:11] Menzador: Is there no way to get an updated version in 14.04 without upgrading to 16.04? [18:11] cuddylier: then you might need a PPA or another source for that [18:11] k1l_: Yeah I will but I can't find one. [18:11] There is one for normal php but not php-fpm that I can find.

[18:23] binaryplease: so the install worked? [18:23] binary> what type of firmware doesn your computer use and what type of partition table is the hdd [18:23] binaryplease: so that does sound like a video driver issue. not uefi issue. you can try to use nomodeset for testing and for installing the correct video driver [18:24] if its ms/dos you need to install in legacy , if its gpt uefi efi [18:25] k1l_: I cant even get to grub or anything where I could try nomodeset [18:25] stan_man_can: works here [18:25] just the boot menu pressing f12 [18:25] can you use a live cd and check the hdd [18:25] type fdisk -l [18:25] its a lenovo b570, im trying to install to a msata drive I installed. The other drive has windows 7 on it [18:25] and look for the parition table [18:26] then thats qwhy [18:26] you need to use gpt and change the partition table [18:26] i mean gparted and change it to gpt table [18:26] sintre: on the ssd or on the harddisk? [18:26] the target disk you want to install [18:26] hi [18:26] if you want it installed in uefi [18:27] binaryplease: that laptop got uefi [18:27] I try to build gstreamer and I get this error "required file `./ltmain.sh' not found". Is this because I have an old libtool version? [18:27] or you can change it in bios , to a "clone legacy mode [18:27] then install wittout it [18:27] sintre: that option is not present in this bios, I used that on other laptops [18:28] so when it says bios mode it says legacy or efi? [18:28] you can't change partition table from bios you need to use a program === TERRORIST is now known as DexLV [18:29] sintre: ok, i will try to reinstall it correctly then. When I'm asked for the target drive I will select the ssd. (entire drive). Do I need to change the table afterwards or will it do it automatically? [18:30] So you want to install to ssd? [18:30] if it had win 7 yes you need to change partition table to be sfe [18:30] sintre: Yes. windows is only on the harddisk [18:30] the ssd is new and only for linux [18:30] use gparted [18:31] from live enviroment [18:31] sintre: ok, thanks I will try that. [18:31] then , let it auto magic or create the partitions you want manually [18:32] but it won't install in efi mode on a legacy/dos table [18:32] How do I recursively delte all files starting with the letter "K"? [18:32] delete* [18:32] how can i add a show desktop button on my panel? [18:33] linux_2121: https://askubuntu.com/questions/377438/how-can-i-recursively-delete-all-files-of-a-specific-extension-in-the-current-di [18:33] hey guys, is it possible to run the alternate installer from the desktop iso, either in the live environment or rebooting with certain parameters? === afru_ is now known as workfro === simon_g is now known as szymon_g [18:35] well... it's quite fun [18:36] wuii: no (not with much complexity), you'll need to download and write it to a bootable media of its own. [18:36] wuii: you can probably start it with kvm [18:36] if I add xscreensaver... without removing/desabling gnome-screensaver : it works properly ! [18:36] wuii: maybe i didn't catch your meaning [18:36] holy shit [18:36] gnome-screensaver turn off the screen... and no more "screen turns on with white cursor 1 second later" [18:37] I typed in rm * and everything got deleted! [18:37] rm : remove [18:37] wuii: whats your use case / why do you ask this? [18:37] i've tried to compile newer kernel for 16.04, i've downloaded source and patches, i've applied them (no errors), when i've tried to compile it in the debian way that's what i got: http://wklej.org/id/3003568/ [18:37] * : wildcard for "all" [18:37] so : you remove all the files [18:37] *facepalms* [18:38] Pozzo: I wanted to remove all files starting with the letter "k". So I type in rm k* -- and yet everything got deleted [18:38] linux_2121: weird [18:38] tomreyn: probably not directly supported here, but the installer in the live ppc64 environment doesn't seem to progress after a certain point (16.04), and I was curious because historically I've had good luck with the alternative installer [18:38] maybe you would have tried : rm "k*" [18:38] slow internet makes it hellish to get the other image though :P [18:39] Ya [18:39] argh.. in the fact the "screen turn on with white cursor" reappears... [18:39] but a little bit later [18:39] I will try to remove gnome-screensaver totally [18:40] Pozzo My folders are still present though; all of my files (which weren't present in the folders) got deleted [18:40] rm doesn't delete folders directly [18:40] Thanks mynameisJulian! [18:40] linux_2121: of course... rm does not remove folder by default [18:41] except if you use the "recursive" mode : rm -r * [18:41] rm -dr [18:41] what about "d" option? [18:41] wuii: ppc64, is this an architecture? [18:41] linux_2121, rm can be called with 'rm -i' for interactive so you know which file will be deleted [18:41] you'd better give a try : man rm [18:42] how do I see my tree -- the things which shows how all of my files are directories are linked to each other? [18:43] linux_2121: install and use "tree" [18:43] tomreyn: 64bit powerpc (specifically a G5 in my case) [18:43] linux_2121: or use "ls -al" if you only want to see the current directory [18:44] Thanks k1l_! [18:44] What exactly is a virtual box used for? [18:44] "tree -d" for directories only [18:44] linux_2121: virtualisation. [18:44] can I experiment with linux commands using said virtual box? [18:44] linux_2121: why don't use a graphical file explorer ? unity/gnome with nautilus should be easier if you dont know well how to deal with the command line [18:45] linux_2121: yes of course: you can install a virtual box with "ubuntu server" by exemple [18:45] linux_2121: yes, you can install another OS into virtualbox and test there. [18:45] and experiment the command line [18:45] Pozzo Ah, thanks I'll check that out! But I really want to learn how to use the command line, I just installed Ubuntu yesterday haha [18:46] linux_2121: there are tons of "bash guides" online which explain a lot of things [18:46] and you have installed ubuntu with which "flavor" ? ubuntu ? the desktop version ? the server version ? [18:46] linux_2121: cygwin is a better choice than VB [18:46] the desktop version Pozzo [18:46] if you have more experience on Windows : you can try cygwin [18:46] is there a way to reset what file exts. are associated with what application. Tried to open a .txt file and some wine app tried to open it. [18:46] Pozzo nooo I like Linux! [18:46] you will have a bash under windows with cygwin to experiment too [18:47] www.virtualbox.org [18:47] salamander .. try right-click the file [18:47] i dont know why you suggest cygwin if he already uses ubuntu [18:47] wuii: okay, according to http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/ there exists (or existed?) a port for the ppc64el architecture. [18:47] then "open With.." [18:47] I'm just curious, isn't a ubuntu a flavor in itself? [18:48] k1l_: just to avoid seing him killing is ubuntu install when he will try : sudo rm -fr / [18:48] cancel the "a" before ubutnu [18:48] linux_2121, cd /tmp; mkdir testing; cd testing; touch K{1..4}; touch bob; ls; rm K* ... files gone except for file bob [18:48] wuii: theres an installer here: http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/netboot/ [18:48] sudo apt-get install virtualbox [18:48] Much easier [18:48] linux_2121: ubuntu is the standard flavor of ubuntu. its shipped with unity desktop. there are other flavors with different setups based on ubuntu [18:48] lol Pozzo what will that do? Delete everything? [18:48] linux_2121: yes it will remove everything [18:48] "shipped" [18:49] i use gnome-flashback metacity [18:49] light things [18:49] wuii: but note this was last updated in april 2016, it's maybe not the latest but the 16.04 (xenial) base release, so 16.04.0 [18:49] or mate [18:49] unity unity is pretty sweet [18:49] sebsebseb: well... i remove xscreensaver [18:49] the lockscreen is so ugly :) [18:49] ubuntu unity* [18:49] lasersaber ... which kind of ship is used to transport Ubuntu ? [18:50] wuii: isnt this hardware very old now? [18:50] idk [18:50] battleship [18:50] the kind that floats [18:50] ? [18:50] for certain [18:50] can I play star craft 2 on Linux? [18:50] tomreyn: just for reference the ppc64el is little endian for power8 architecture, while G5 (powerpc 970) is big endian only. I'll admit it's a pretty niche these days as well [18:50] !virtualbox | linux_2121 that is fine to setup a testing environment [18:50] linux_2121 that is fine to setup a testing environment: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:51] jinxi1: do they offer a nativ linux client? [18:51] jinxi1: playonlinux [18:51] tomreyn: as irritating as it is I'll just wait for the download, thanks for your help in any case :P [18:51] jinxi1: if they dont you will need to use wine, or somethings thats based on wine like playonlinux [18:51] wuii: the download of what ? ubuntu.iso ? [18:51] jinxi1: i play Diablo III with playonlinux and some hacks [18:52] jinxi1, if you have the money get crossover linux [18:52] playonlinux is a joke [18:52] it's just a wrapper for wine [18:52] crossover linux is just wine/playonlinux rebranded and "optimized"... with profiles for some games already prepared [18:52] it's easier but not necessary [18:52] want to play a windows game, boot windows [18:53] ikonia: i make money with playonlinux wine was not permitied at Diablo [18:53] jinxi1, https://www.codeweavers.com if you have the money is a good software [18:53] egelor: you make money ? [18:53] or give a try to Steam on Linux :) [18:53] wuii: so if ppc64el won't work, look for a working port at http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial-updates/main/ then click on it and traverse into the current/images/netboot/ subdirectory where you will find the latest mini.iso. [18:53] steam on linux is a joke [18:53] tsss [18:53] very few native games and the others just wine wrappers [18:53] ikonia: yes from diablo market [18:53] wuii: i'm not convinced that any of the official installers will work for you. [18:53] I don't know if Steam for Windows will run inside of Wine, probably not, never tried. [18:53] is there a way I can check my system's efficiency in terms of how well it is handling currently running applications? [18:54] yeah steam on linux is usesless when most games wont play on linux that uses steam [18:54] ikonia: close to 2000 naive games is a joke? [18:54] linux_2121: top or htop in terminal [18:54] salamanderrake: yes, very few major titles that are native [18:54] tomreyn: oh, what's different with the mini.iso to the alternative/desktop versions? I'm going to assume is grabs the required packages from the internet, but to what degree? [18:54] https://steamdb.info/linux/ [18:55] a little question : why there is activities here... and no one on #ubuntu-gnome ? [18:55] wuii: correct, it's a netinstall image. [18:55] salamanderrake: quality stuff like "bobs game" and "no pineapple left behind" [18:55] !mini | wuii [18:55] wuii: 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 [18:55] salamanderrake: they are not native either [18:55] they are just confirmed as "working" [18:56] i still use my winblows 10 for gaming though :-/ [18:56] who said they are not native? [18:56] salamanderrake: read the description [18:56] http://www.feralinteractive.com/en/linux-games/ [18:57] salamanderrake: again, not native [18:57] wuii: since ubuntu only officially supports i686 and amd64 architectures, you will depend on a port, and a ported installer. i'm noit sure whether, besides the mini.iso, there are other installers available for ports. [18:57] http://aspyr.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search_term=&platform%5B%5D=Linux&view_option=Grid_View [18:57] salamanderrake: I'm not sure who you are trying to convince here [18:57] ikonia: do you know what native means? [18:57] salamanderrake: yes [18:58] all of feral and aspyr games are native. [18:58] the feral ones are not [18:58] F1 2015 is not native [18:58] hello, can i have ubuntu install help here? [18:58] looking at the ohters I don't believe the others all are (I don't know all of them) [18:59] yes it is [18:59] it's not, and they are mostly all old out of date stuff [18:59] tomreyn: cool, this is looking like a promising lead so far, I've started grabbing the mini instead, I'll let you know how it goes [18:59] you don't know what your talking about. [18:59] * Pozzo [18:59] cludz: Of course! How can we help [18:59] cludz: what do you want to know ? [19:00] total war: warhammer is 2016 [19:00] so i was installing, and i made a partition for swap, another for / and installed, but then while installing it said that GRUB couldnt be installed [19:00] so is Deus Ex: Mankind divided [19:00] and so i cant boot [19:00] and mad max is 2015 [19:01] wuii: looks like you may need the "powerpc64" port rather than "ppc64el". that's for big endian 64-bit ppc. [19:01] virtual programming are the only ones that are "wrapped" in EOn [19:02] and other games that the devs decided to wrap in wine. [19:02] cludz: where do you try to install your grub ? on the / partition ? on the MBR of your harddrive ? [19:02] salamanderrake: no idea who you are trying to convince [19:02] do you use msdos or gpt table ? [19:03] ikonia: who are you trying to convince that you even know what native means, your self or others? [19:03] tomreyn: funnily enough the page you linked me to has ppc and ppc64, yet no mention of ppc64el :P [19:04] salamanderrake: not trying to convince anyone of anything [19:04] Pozzo: where it said "startup manager" (idk how it is in english, im using portuguese. basicily whats under the partitions), i selected the harddrive [19:04] wuii: you mean http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/xenial-updates/main/ ? [19:05] ikonia: your trying to convince people you know the difference between wine wrapped, and native, and you don't have a clue. You don't know that games that came out in 2016 ar not old. [19:06] salamanderrake: not at all, [19:06] wuii: i think you best start here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/netboot/ [19:06] tomreyn: the page the bot linked here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:06] cludz: you have windows already installed on this harddrive ? [19:07] no, i want to have linux only, then if i need windows things i just use wine or VM [19:07] wuii: oh ok. the wiki page points to the (outdated) base release images. you'd better use the ones from -updates [19:08] cludz: so... during the installation you have chosen the option "using the entire harddrive and let Ubuntu managing everything" ? or you have chosen "other" and manage manually that point ? [19:08] I mean : the partition table... [19:08] Pozzo: i selected manually, cause if i let it do it alone, after installing, the computer will say that no boot was found [19:09] cludz: could you accept my private query ? [19:09] it will be easier to discuss than in the global thread here [19:11] tomreyn: in a roundabout way we are at the same place, I was just pointing out that the minimalcd wiki page doesn't mention ppc64el on it (while it's on the other site that hosts the images), and the largely deprecated big endian powerpc64 (the one I'm after) mini.iso is up there in an easy to find place now I think about it, lol. [19:11] Why is there no audio equalizer in the repos? Something like that should be absolutely basic. I should be able to tweak the audio to bring down the high pitched noises and bring up the vocal range so that I can watch something like this and not have the anvil ring make my ears bleed while also being able to hear what they are saying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv3dPHneGI8 [19:12] wuii: alright, thanks for explaining. i guess you're all set, good luck.

I tried installing nvidia drivers, kubuntu-desktop, upgrade, dist upgrade.. Nothing works [19:29] socialevil: have you reset lightdm? [19:29] I had that issue before [19:30] socialevil: dpkg-reconfigure lightdm [19:30] OR you need to reset .Xauthority [19:31] Anyway, my apt update is barely working. The hits are taking FOREVER, same with gets. Anyone know what could cause this? [19:32] Example http://i.imgur.com/RaAEbYy.png [19:32] Yeah.. I did that too [19:32] socialevil: Nother thought - have you been sudo'n where you should not have and now root owns the access to your desktop ? What shows ' ls -al .ICEauthority .Xauthority ' ? [19:32] hello... any hint on a program to recover accidently removed files? [19:32] That image is over like 5 miuntes [19:32] sysadmin: how did you remove them? [19:34] goose1: What is this horst3180 source ? [19:35] Bashing-om: what? === o is now known as Guest76539 [19:35] Oh in the repos, Its for the arc theme [19:36] But its been working fine after I installed that, just decided to take FOREVER today and cant figure out why [19:37] goose1: In your image paste is that source link . I have never seen the like, If ya want to verify that it is for ubunty, please paste the textual terminal output of ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' giving me the ability to copy/paste from the files . [19:38] Bashing-om: ok 1 sec [19:39] THe horst source is just for a theme, didnt cause issues before but here is the update before I killed ithttp://pastebin.com/9cTLK1M8 [19:39] goose1: :) pretty easy to check most sources if we can copy and paste exactly . [19:40] hi all [19:40] how to check if my system isubuntu or debian? [19:40] Here is upgrade http://pastebin.com/fDFYQrAm [19:40] jak2000: lsb_release -sd [19:41] jak2000: uname -a [19:41] goose1: deleted from HDD drive, where main drive is SSD. So I gess shift + delete [19:42] goose1: did you run sudo apt update first? [19:42] I'm trying to use photorec [19:42] k1l_: yeah [19:42] my issue is update is taking FOREVER when its usually pretty much instant [19:42] goose1: So far looks perfectly legit :) To this time I see no issue . Let them run ( update upgrade) to completion and see then what the package manager relates ? [19:43] I changed DL location, sped it up a bit now but it gets to Get:78 and just hangs there [19:43] this network is a bait/entrapment/sting platform doing law enforcement or vigilante work. (ETHICALLY CORRUPT) [19:43] goose1: where exactly does it hang? [19:43] Okay it finished, not sure why it took so long [19:43] Here is finished paste [19:44] http://pastebin.com/ehHnzt5q [19:44] ignore the apt update in the middle, terminal copied weird when resizing [19:44] ok ts ubuntu [19:44] goose1: Again so far so good " 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." Package manager not showing a issue here . [19:44] how to check wich mta is installed on my box? [19:45] Yeah I know. Just weird how long it took compared to usual [19:45] goose1: was it hanging on that mirror or on the opensuse repo? [19:45] Hey guys. Can someone help me with an Ubuntu 16.10 issue i have? [19:46] At first the opensuse repo. Then changed mirror to duke.edu, then it hung for a long time near the end at Get:74 and Get:78 [19:46] nirux: whats up [19:46] what is issue === sysadmin is now known as VlanX [19:47] egelor any advice? [19:47] So I've set a device in overlayroot.conf, but it doesn't seem to do anything. [19:47] Where would the error/status messages be logged for this? Not seeing it in dmesg. [19:47] I came from Arch, and I wanted to try Unity, but the issue is after about 10 minutes the whole computer freezes. It happens instantly when watching a video in fullscreen or on YouTube. [19:47] I can load a TTY however. [19:48] jak2000: sudo lsof -i :25 [19:48] I've not been able to figure it out. [19:49] nirux: What about memory management . What does ' free -m ' show when running a video ? [19:50] jak2000: alternatively: sudo netstat -pan --inet | grep ':25[[:blank:]]' [19:51] I don't see any failed overlay mounts in dmesg. [19:52] overlayroot=device:dev=/dev/group-01/volume-01:timeout=10 [19:52] Is that not the way you're supposed to create a overlayroot? [19:52] why is it not breaking lines? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23723724/ [19:53] just goes right accross [19:53] is it just my browser or its the server? [19:53] lasersaber, it is a feature, why would paste break lines? [19:53] tomreynm: https://paste.debian.net/905932/ [19:54] overlayroot=device:dev=/dev/group-01/volume-01:timeout=10,fstype=ext4,mkfs=1 [19:54] trying that now [19:55] OerHeks, before it use to break line for better viewing [19:55] lasersaber, nope, this has been for years iirc [19:56] hmm [19:57] Bashing-om: sorry i left. I tried to watch a youtube video and it completely locked up. [19:57] jak2000: "master" is usually a process which belongs to the "postfix" MTA. "ps ef 1484 2>&1 | pastebinit" to verify [19:57] is there another site i can use with terminal for outputs tht i can install? [19:57] but wich is it? postfix and or sendmail? [19:58] with better text format [19:58] !pastebinit | lasersaber [19:58] lasersaber: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [19:59] nirux: All I can at this point to consider is memory management ' free -m ' shows what before and after starting a video ? as a place to start . [19:59] jak2013: i just answered this question, didn't i? please re-read my previous reply. [19:59] cbwolf2020 [19:59] i have it installed but the output on the site has no line breaks [20:00] Bashing-om: anyway to export a ran command as a .txt or some sort? I could just upload that. [20:00] I'm a Newbie. How do I find another Hexchatter? [20:00] I did find an ubuntu forum post on the exact same issue i have. [20:00] But no solution was posted. [20:00] tomreyn yes i see, and typed the command see please: https://paste.debian.net/905932/ === jak2013 is now known as jak2000 [20:01] jak2000: i already saw this paste. and responded with: jak2000: "master" is usually a process which belongs to the "postfix" MTA. "ps ef 1484 2>&1 | pastebinit" to verify [20:02] ok sorry not see i am disconnected [20:02] checking [20:02] nirux: ' free -m | nc termbin.com 9999 ' will do to show us those outputs . [20:02] Okay. I'll do a reconnect if it freezes while trying full screen. Hold on. [20:03] hello all [20:03] nirux: Compare before and after . [20:03] Hello [20:03] Bashing-om: yup. [20:03] I have a thinkpad 11e that when running ubuntu 16.04 does not register fan speeds [20:04] i can hear the fan spinning but it doesn't show on sensors or any gui i have [20:04] any ideas? [20:05] NOVAtechies: there is a deamon for thinkpads thinkfan [20:05] oh never mind lol i was forgetting to put a dash in my command that why i had no line breaks [20:05] egelor: thanks very much. is it on github? [20:05] inxi -Fxxxc0 [20:05] inxi -Fxxxc0 | pastebinit [20:06] NOVAtechies: sudo apt-get install thinkfan [20:06] oh i didn't realise it had a repo sounds good [20:07] well damn that was easy [20:07] thanks very much [20:08] Bashing-om sorry i was afk reinstalling the ubuntu. Now i can login but the ubuntu its slow and laggy and when i move my mouse instead of snooth transition, it feels like cursor is teleporting [20:09] NOVAtechies: sure i happy to help [20:09] Hello, gys [20:09] guys* [20:09] Hello generic [20:10] this fixed my system: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade [20:10] Can someone help? I deleted lubuntu and now I'm stuck in grub rescue [20:10] Confused: Reinstall it. [20:11] My CD keeps getting stuck in a loop [20:11] Flashing dash icon [20:11] Then black [20:11] Then more flashing [20:11] tomreyn [20:11] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23723873/ [20:11] Confused: Are you booting from cd? [20:11] maybe its a bad cd [20:11] Yes [20:12] Confused: Have you used the CD before? [20:12] Yeah [20:13] Id just recreate it honestly [20:13] ^ [20:13] OK its at the dots loading screen right now [20:13] TIL people still use CDs [20:13] Confused: Make a new one, or use a USB [20:13] bashing-om: I got them. Compared. Nothing big to cause a lock up however. Here i'll link them for you. [20:13] socialevil: Well . ubuntu is top of the line and consumes lots of resources. Have you got the memory installed to handle it ? [20:13] this is free -m without anything open other than hexchat: http://termbin.com/utcx [20:13] Hold on Im trying it with a diff option [20:13] Bashing-om i gave 16gb ram [20:14] this is free -m while watching a video non fullscreen: http://termbin.com/m908 [20:14] Whats a resource to get better at using the commands line? [20:14] Good resource* [20:14] And i ran this when it locked up on fullscreen : http://termbin.com/4ly7 [20:15] -sigh- I just wanted to get back into windows [20:15] goose1: One way to find out what commands do is to read the manual, for example: man ls [20:15] Confused: can you not get back into windows? [20:15] j41: thanks, I know man pages, but I think I foune some stuff [20:15] nirux: Agreed is not a memory management issue . Sorry to say I do not know - off the top of my head - what the cause is . [20:15] No it just leaves me at grub rescue [20:16] Bashing-om when i go to software and updates->additional drivers i see that i am using x.org x server nouveau diaplay driver instead of my nvidia 367.57 proprietary testet ... But last time i changed that i went to this login loop [20:16] Lubuntu cd loaded when I chose straight to install [20:16] Have you updated grub to try to refind the windows boot manager? [20:16] Confused: Do you want to reinstall Lubuntu? [20:16] No I only got it in the first place to make my PC faster but its the same as windows [20:17] I just want windows [20:17] Confused: Do you have a Windows disc? [20:17] No [20:17] Confused: Do you have another computer? [20:17] haha [20:17] If I have to reinstall lubuntu its ok [20:17] Lol no [20:17] I'm on my phone [20:17] Confused: this channel cant help you on installing windows. better ask ##windows if you need help on that [20:18] If I reinstall lubuntu will I get grub back [20:18] Yeah [20:18] Or you can just update grub [20:18] winblows* [20:18] Do you have windows currently installed on the machine? [20:18] socialevil: If ya had 367 installed from our repo ( not OEM ! ) I can not imagine why nouveau would now be loaded . We can look and see what X thinks ' cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit ' . [20:18] Confused: is only ubuntu installed? [20:18] ^ [20:18] boot your windows dvd and choose repair [20:18] I do but it's stuck in grub rescue [20:18] I can't use it [20:18] Bashing-om: No worries man. Thanks for trying : ) I'll see what i can do on it. Maybe it's just the DE. I guess no fullscreen videos for me. [20:19] Sigh I don't have a windows cd [20:19] Hey guys, got a quick question: I set up a proxy, system-wide on 16.04 and logged off, and back on. If I curl -v from the command line, the proxy gets the request and I have a breakpoint set on the proxy so I can edit the request if need be. If however I curl the same URL via php, the proxy displays the breakpoint, but php goes on and connects anyway before I get a chance to do anything to that request. Essentially, php is bypassing the proxy. Why would [20:19] that not obey the system wide setting? [20:19] I just said [20:19] Confused: http://askubuntu.com/questions/435160/cant-boot-windows-7-after-installing-ubuntu [20:19] Confused: you will need a windows cd or usb to repair/reinstall the windows bootloader [20:19] right now I have 2 drives, ones 250GB ones 120GB. the 250GB has my /home and my 120GB has / [20:19] Yeah what k1l_ said [20:19] Confused: Otherwise, reinstall Lubuntu and you'll have GRUB back [20:19] smh I'll just reinstall lubuntu [20:19] how can I merge them so everything is on the 250GB and the 120GB is empty? [20:20] Confused: you can recreate a windows usb by using this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO [20:20] I'll figure out a way to delete it after I get windows back [20:20] Confused: you can delete it using disk manager in windows [20:20] Confused: You can repair the bootloader from within windows [20:20] nirux: A thought only . what results when operating from the guest account ? Maybe isolate this to a config issue in "your" account ? [20:20] I can't access windows [20:21] Bashing-om paste.ubuntu.com/23723921 [20:21] Confused: check the askubuntu link i posted above [20:21] Confused: Once you can boot into Windows after reinstalling Lubuntu (and therefore grub) [20:21] Confused: if you deleted lubuntu, there is no data that grub finds. that is the issue. [20:21] Confused: The installer should give you the option to 'detect' Windows [20:21] Confused: so either get a windows cd/usb and install the windows bootloader or reinstall the ubuntu and use grub for dualboot again [20:21] socialevil: Reading; I will be a while . [20:22] Yeah either recreating a windows install device or reinstalling ubuntu are really your only options right now [20:22] Ik [20:22] Ok* [20:22] If you just want windows, recreate it using the media creation tool MS provides (need windows machine or VM to run it) and then reinstall [20:22] I'm having a printer issue. When I connect to a print server via the Printers Server>Connect menu, it works fine for a little while but after a few minutes my entry is deleted. [20:22] Bashing-om: Haven't tried it, honestly. Let me give it a try. Be right back. [20:23] how about installing grub-customizer ? that should help [20:23] lasersaber: no [20:23] socialevil: " nomodeset quiet splash vt.handoff=7 " you have set nomodeset as a boot parameter, with that set will not load the proprietary driver . [20:23] lasersaber: there is nothing where the grub data is put. that is why he only gets the grub rescue [20:23] ahh ok [20:24] Hey guys real quick what game i should start play i'm looking for something online with other peeps and fun [20:24] Bashing-om i did yeah, as i installed the ubuntu cause else it would not load.. I tought its only for the installation and then its removed automatically [20:24] !games | generic [20:24] generic: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and http://www.penguspy.com/ [20:24] generic Star wars battlefront ii is cheap, has low requirements and works in WINE [20:25] generic: Team Fortress 2 is good!

[20:26] It wants the whole thing [20:26] Just run Gparted in the live usb [20:26] socialevil: check in /etc/default/grub that nomodeset is not set as a permament boot parameter . [20:26] partition [20:26] Confused use gparted [20:26] ^ [20:26] Bashing-om: It's different under a Guest session. It'll freeze only the video while the Unity desktop and the app still functions fine. [20:26] gparted is super easy to use [20:26] I can't get into live, I can only do direct install [20:26] Confused: why cant you go into live? that doesnt make sense [20:27] Yeah you should have the option [20:27] if I copy /home to /new-home, boot from live CD and rename /new-home to /home, and then delete the mount line from /etc/fstab ? [20:27] Confused, your specs ? cpu, ram, video card [20:27] It loops with the flashing thing [20:27] Bashing-om i am reading it now and there is grub_cmdline_linux=nimodeset. Should i delete the whole row? [20:27] the line that mounts /home separately that is [20:27] Linux is the best way man we have huge community to help all issues ubuntu forum is big and and obviasly this irc [20:27] Confused: it seems your CD is messed up [20:27] Confused, maybe u can show us your desktop might be easier to help u out https://appear.in [20:27] Just make a new one with a usb or something [20:27] I have a server that had a reinstall a couple of days ago, and gives the following error: http://pastebin.com/raw/Mxbm2dC2 [20:27] it says ACPI but in the message itself it says something about "PCI0". I have a problem with the PCI card so I am looking at the dmesg if I can find something [20:27] any ideas on what it could be ? [20:27] I don't use CD everything is on My USB [20:27] nirux: Well that is something to the positive . Try a different player ? Maybe then see if the issue is in the current player ? Mind ya, I just do not know - just something to consider .

[20:28] What do I need to do [20:28] Confused tell us your specs [20:28] What do you WANT? Do you just want windows? [20:28] No live or windows [20:28] socialevil: Best to show the entire file so we see in context . All we want to do is remove that boot parameter . [20:28] I just want windows [20:29] oh, no help then :þ [20:29] Confused: then get a windows cd or usb. done [20:29] Confused, sudo apt-get install inxi [20:29] i have on a directory small files so so: 150 000 if i try do a: 'ls' command take much time and not display anything [20:29] Bashing-om wait :) [20:29] how to display 100 by sample?

[20:30] bekks same.... [20:30] Trying live once more [20:30] generic: It's really good :P [20:30] jak2000: Which problem do you want to solve by LISTING those files?

Appreciate it. Let's see how it goes. I gotta go i do appreciate you letting me take a little bit of your time. Take care! [20:30] Thats mostly what I know [20:31] Confused laptop, dektop ? [20:31] Bashing-om paste.ubuntu.com/23723973 [20:31] Lap [20:31] jak2000: for deleting them, you can use find as well. [20:31] Confused ok, you don't know your specs, can you see some sticks on the laptop itself ? [20:31] The model is 1764 [20:31] nirux: Help (try) is what we do . I am here 'til the end - just do not have the experience to say what might be real :) [20:32] COnfused whats the problem you have once again?\ [20:32] Insiron 1764? [20:32] inspiron [20:32] ioria: This is it http://www.dell.com/us/dfh/p/inspiron-1764/pd [20:32] ok [20:32] I deleted lubuntu partition on windows, rebooted and stuck in grub rescue [20:33] Confused, install periscope on your cellphone and maybe we can help you. [20:33] When I try to go live, it puts me in ttyl [20:33] Confused: and i explained already why that is an issue now [20:33] bekks how to use dfind and [20:33] The loops with a flashing this g [20:33] Confused: have you gone into the boot menu at startup to try to get into the windows boot mananger? [20:33] if my / and /home are on different physical drives, how can I merge them to both be on the /home drive? [20:33] delete each file? [20:33] jak2000: "find . -type f -exec echo {} \;" [20:33] Confused laptop, you delete also grub, then [20:33] Confused: Destroy the partition with GParted, worked for me a while ago. [20:33] okay just make boothable usb flash drive put LInux or any op system on it and reistall it [20:33] stan_man_can: resize partitions, copy data or partition, change fstab [20:33] HOLD UP [20:33] Confused: You should be able to get into windows through your boot manager (F11, del, or something at startup) [20:34] LIVE LOADED [20:34] horrah [20:34] Tell me what I need to do [20:34] Confused: you so install lubuntu again and have a working grub with that. [20:34] beeks same :( [20:35] jak2000: Then you arent patient enough. [20:35] Confused, connect to the internet [20:35] Confused: be sure NOT to install over the windows partition [20:35] Confused never back down [20:35] jak2000: Running find on 150 files in a single directory WILL take its time. [20:35] k1l_, do they have to be separate partitions? [20:35] Then you'll have grub, and you SHOULD be able to get into windows [20:35] Gparted is loading [20:35] Its up [20:35] socialevil: Yeah make a backup of the file prior to editing is SOP ; and change - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" - to - GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" - ( remove nomodeset _ save the file and to propagate the change to the system now run ' sudo update-grub ' . Reboot to see the effect . [20:35] Do you see the windows partition there? [20:35] Confused so dual boot ? [20:35] stan_man_can: no. you can have only one / partition which includes your home [20:36] I see 2 [20:36] NTFS and unallocated [20:36] k1l_, so if I want everything on the drive that /home is currently on... [20:36] Windows should have more than one right? [20:36] Bashing-om will do. [20:36] Confused: run a terminal with "sudo fdisk -l | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the url here [20:36] there should be a recovery, and boot partition along side the large data one [20:36] Ok [20:36] Confused do that [20:36] k1l_, I would what, move all of /home to / and then move all of / to the new drive? [20:36] Confused: FORMAT the UNALLOCATED one to ext4 [20:37] install ubuntu onto the new EXT4 part. [20:37] maybe he needs swap [20:37] socialevil: K . could be that after the reboot all will be peachy keen fine :) [20:37] Then you'll have both, grub SHOULD load, and give option for windows [20:37] How do I type the line after -l [20:37] looking for cbwolf2020 [20:37] Confused, format all partitions except the ntfs partitions [20:37] ioria: yeah the installation will create home, data, and swap on its own. You need it to be ext4 first though [20:37] stan_man_can: you can put everything in the /home partition [20:38] i see [20:38] Confused: what are you trying to type? [20:38] The unallocated one is only 2mb [20:38] no good [20:38] Confused: how big is NTFS? [20:38] The thing about fdisk above [20:38] kjhmedia: that user is not in here. [20:38] 111.79 gb [20:38] Okay, you can resize it under gparted and isntall ubuntu on new partition [20:39] k1l_, how do I move stuff to a specific drive? [20:39] Confused sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 and give us the url you got [20:39] OR you can download a windows iso, create it in linux live, and reinstall windows [20:39] How do I type the line between fdisk and term [20:39] Its above the \ [20:39] is anybody up for quake 3 [20:39] Shift + \ [20:39] stan_man_can: you copy only mounted data. [20:40] k1l_, but like [20:40] stan_man_can: like copy fileA from driveA to DriveB? [20:40] generic: this channels focus is support. better ask in the offtopic channel [20:40] how do i specificy the drive as the destination? [20:40] Bashing-om now it works fine but my vents went lout :)) its a new laptop so its actually the first time i hear them.. But i cannot think its somehow related [20:40] goose1, yeah i guess so [20:40] It types > [20:40] Not the line [20:40] Opps, sorry guys [20:40] goose1, how do I copy / to drive B [20:40] cp /path/to/file.file /path/to/dest [20:40] since drive B currently has /home [20:40] Confused sudo apt-get install pastebinit [20:40] stan_man_can: you specifiy the target folder. which is the mountpoint [20:41] stan_man_can: you should do this from a live cd anyway [20:41] stan_man_can: http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ucp.htm [20:41] Confused: which keyboard layout you have? [20:41] cp origfile newfile [20:41] Its uk [20:41] stan_man_can: you are mixing data (filesystems) with partitions. [20:41] socialevil: " vents went lout " ?? You mean the cooling fans are screamming ? [20:41] k1l_, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/db073a7fc90c83790fb0b71f0b2c82d0 === pac1 is now known as senor_panatlone [20:42] Confused then do pastebinit <(sudo parted -l) [20:42] Bashing-om sorry. Yes. Thats exaclty wat i ment [20:42] stan_man_can: uh, you have an encrypted home? well i am out of this then [20:42] Its slow to install [20:42] cbwlf2020 [20:42] Confused: you installing ubuntu now on new part? [20:43] Confused: if you want windows, why not just reinstall using a new windows iso? [20:43] I'm trying to make a new partiton [20:43] Oh [20:43] kjhmedia: please ask in #freenode for questions about this network. this is only ubuntu support [20:43] Ioria it sis [20:43] Didn't work [20:43] Confused what ? [20:43] The pastebinit cmd [20:43] Confused sudo apt-get install pastebinit [20:43] Sorry trying to connect with someone [20:44] Anyone got some good linux supported game recommendations? [20:44] Confused works here [20:44] Well, 2 things here I am aware of (3) . proper driver installed ' sudo lshw -C display " ; laptop and ACPI is not functional ? what laptop then ? 3) box in use long enough that a good cleaning is in order ? [20:44] Syntax error near unexpected token newline [20:44] Confused pastebinit <(sudo parted -l) again please [20:44] goose1: anything on steam perhaps? [20:44] Samr [20:44] Same [20:45] blami: up for anything really, not all steam games are linux though [20:45] ioria: isn't that missing $ before (? [20:45] I have a few, just looking for some new stuff [20:45] Confused, https://appear.in/confused [20:45] bladon't think so, works here === yann is now known as Guest43446 [20:46] jak2000: by the time you produced the 'ps' output, the mails erver was no longer running, or had been restarted [20:46] either that or you mistyped the command [20:46] Confused: yeah go to waht lasersaber sent you on the live stuff, can help more [20:47] Confused copy and paste on paste.ubuntu.com [20:47] Bashing-om paste.ubuntu.com/23724050 .. I dont know what the second thing means and Asus gl752v laptop brand new.. 3 days old i dont think its time foelr cleaning [20:48] can I somehow get a ubuntu install which uses disk encryption (preferably like the regular lvm2/luks setup) but *without* selecting the format entire disk option ? [20:48] I have an issue with printing. I can add a cups server via the printer settings GUI, but when I exit and return, the server changes back to /var/run/cups/cups.sock [20:48] goose1: I mean anything for linux there :) I am playing day of the tentacle remake right now :) And Duskers was good [20:49] yeah im stuck on rimworld atm, amazing game [20:49] What is this pastebinit thing people keep suggesting? [20:49] Does it just auto pastebin from cmd? [20:49] !pastebinit [20:49] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [20:49] goose1: yeah [20:49] Ah cool [20:49] Thanks === senor_panatlone is now known as pac1 [20:50] is there a good room for ubuntu based video editing [20:51] thomedy try #ubuntustudio [20:51] the guy from appear.in left [20:51] thomedy: #ubuntu-studio possibly [20:51] thomedy: the #ubuntustudio guys migth now [20:51] k1l_, so i'm kinda screwed? [20:51] *know [20:51] WTF csgo [20:51] k1l_, i just wanted to dual boot windows since i need to start doing some video editing and was trying to avoid buying another drive [20:52] confusedtwo: instead of using such tools that doesnt really help now, you coudl provide tha facts requested in a pastebin. [20:52] i figured out how to type | [20:52] my keyboard layout is backwards on this [20:52] im on pc now [20:53] what should i type in term [20:53] stan_man_can: the encryption adds another layer which makes it more complicated. [20:53] Confused sudo parted -l | pastebinit [20:53] confusedtwo, get the appear.in app for your phone === generic is now known as Generic [20:53] a === sylvain is now known as Guest74813 [20:53] exit [20:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23724077/ [20:53] lasersaber: that is not helping. he could just show the facts on pastebinit which is faster and easier [20:54] or that [20:54] confusedtwo, you have only a big windows partition [20:54] yeah i want to make a tiny partition for this [20:54] confusedtwo: did you have wubi install inside windows? [20:54] so i can get back to windows [20:55] no i installed it via disk [20:55] confusedtwo: where was your lubuntu installed? there is only one big windows partition [20:55] socialevil: Hybrid graphics . I do think proprietary driver handles it the better . Want to see?.... then ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . Reboot again to see the effect . [20:55] im not sure i just clicked dual boot option [20:55] Bashing-om will do [20:55] confusedtwo, mmmm [20:55] No one uses encryption on a single partition = [20:56] ?* [20:56] confusedtwo, i'd try to take off a 30 gigas from i [20:56] *t [20:57] confusedtwo: so you changed the partitions after you deleted the lubuntu install? [20:57] i installed lubuntu via disk by selecting dual boot option [20:57] confusedtwo: because that doesnt make sense at all, what you tell us and what the facts show us [20:57] i installed it because my pc is old and i wanted it to work better [20:57] but its same as windows, and i like windows better [20:58] so i deleted lubuntu partition in disk management in windows [20:58] confusedtwo, i5 core and 4 giga ram it's not 'bad' [20:58] ealawoe [20:58] then when i reboot i get the grub rescue [20:59] confusedtwo, you have win backups ? [20:59] only disk i have is lubuntu [21:00] confusedtwo, no, i mean... anything of value on win partition ? [21:00] im trying boot-repair suggested earlier [21:00] boot-repair without *buntu ? [21:00] confusedtwo: to get grub working again you would need a install which needs repartitioning again. so its way more straight forward if you just get a windows cd/usb and repair the windows bootloader [21:01] boot-repair maybe the windows rescue disk :þ [21:01] it says to do it in live [21:02] confusedtwo, you don't have *buntu anymore [21:02] i deleted it [21:02] and repartitionated the free disk space to the windows parititon. [21:03] i was trying to find an option to make new partition in gparted [21:03] confusedtwo, why don't you take space for lubuntu and install it ? [21:03] confusedtwo: as i said: either do some manual repartitioning again, then install ubuntu. or get a windows cd [21:03] but cant find 1 [21:03] thats reason ^ [21:03] confusedtwo, try 'Somethin else' [21:03] thats where i was at before and the options wouldnt let me [21:04] but if you don't actually want ubuntu, why not go over to ##windows and ask them about options? [21:04] confusedtwo: use gparted, shrink the windows, make new partition for ubuntu, start installer. [21:05] do i use resize option? [21:06] yes [21:06] i got boot repair up [21:06] should i use that, or use gparted [21:06] confusedtwo: stop [21:06] lmao [21:06] who said you should use boot repair? that is no helping at all since i explained you 3 times now grub cant work if there is no partition with the data that grub needs [21:06] some people earlier [21:07] i was on my phone before [21:07] chat was hard to see [21:07] do i use resize option on gparted? [21:07] yes [21:07] i guess you did not explain your setup properly so people didnt know you only have a windows install and not other partition. [21:07] what does "Disk is OK, one failing attribute is failing" mean? [21:07] i was having trouble with commands [21:07] when checking the Assessment of a disk in Disks [21:08] how much spaces does lubuntu need? about 7gbs? [21:08] stan_man_can: try smartctl -a /dev/sdX [21:08] confusedtwo: that'll barely cover the os [21:08] should i do 10 [21:08] EriC^^, smartctl doesn't exist [21:09] has no installation candidate [21:09] more like 20 confusedtwo [21:09] You'll need at least 10gb just for / [21:09] stan_man_can: sudo apt-get install smartmontools [21:10] EriC^^, https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1954c8668085839de0ceefdf94ff432c [21:10] is that because it's mounted externally? [21:11] stan_man_can: no, it doesn't have smart capabilities [21:11] Bashing-om you my sir are a genius :)) [21:11] idk how to use resize [21:11] stan_man_can: is this conncted per usb or something? [21:11] confusedtwo: allocate like 40Gb, then "install alongside windows" when you install, it will create all other partitions for you [21:11] Cooling fans are asleep again :))) [21:11] k1l_, ye [21:11] yes [21:11] it wont take the numbers im putting into it [21:12] stan_man_can: then the usb connector for the disk doesnt support smartmontools [21:13] * linux_user says: Hello all! I am curious to get some information about scid and "scid vs pc" for Ubuntu. I see "scid" in the repos but am not sure which one it is or how to get the "scid vs pc" from a prebuilt repo if even available? What say anyone? [21:13] So I got this Rpi ive had for awhile [21:13] whats a cool project i can use [21:14] goose1: ask in #raspberrypi [21:14] thx [21:14] !info scid [21:14] scid (source: scid): chess database with play and training functionality. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.4+dfsg1-2 (yakkety), package size 417 kB, installed size 1168 kB [21:15] linux_user: for questions about that i would suggest you ask the skid project directly [21:15] Hi, I lost my .xinitrc file by messing up and not navigation between workspaces doesnt work (and also, I dont have an image background) [21:16] hola [21:16] so I am trying to start unity but dont know how to do it [21:16] k1l_, : I'll be sure and do that, its definitely something I never thought of. But, for now, I am going to see who that is here knows about it too. I think that is also an excellent idea. [21:16] exit [21:16] socialevil: No Sir, not me - that appillalion applies to those others - I just been around a bit :) [21:20] In a bit of a jam and would *really* appreciate some help. Does *anyone* know of a guide/set of steps to setup an encrypted (preferably lvm2+luks) partition for a ubuntu install ? I can't/won't format my entire disk, but I need the encryption for work reasons. [21:22] did confuse solve his issue? [21:23] pseudonymous, i think the drive needs to be formatted for that [21:24] http://imgur.com/a/RnGqB can someone explain to me what to do with this [21:24] not 100% sure [21:24] can i write ios software on ubuntu [21:24] swift, objective-c [21:24] are there any chess players here at all that us Ubuntu for that? [21:24] i can write it but im writing a multiplatform thing [21:25] thomedy: you can write anything, you need ios to compile it or have it run or something, i'm not sure of the specifics [21:25] i have an iphone and i need to write an iphone, ipad app [21:25] but i usually run ubuntu [21:25] thomedy: not really. There's an objective-C compiler of some sort, but IOS apps rely on all apple's proprietary crap software which they aren't really happy to share (sorry, a bit prissy because of this damned mac acting up) [21:25] i got the iphone to write my apps [21:25] In general you really need an Apple system to write iOS [21:26] thomedy: I was under the impression that you needed a Mac [21:26] the other answers are generally right but not what you probably really mean, no, the Apple Development evniroment is not on Linux period. [21:26] confusedtwo: why not use the sliders at the side of the green frame? [21:26] thomedy: Apple xcode only runs on mac [21:26] That said, a 5 year old Mac at a low price is still workable for xcode today and runs today's variant of MacOS [21:26] i really cant compile swift or objective c... that makes me sad [21:27] MacOS is not Linux or Ubuntu [21:27] sure [21:27] mac is bsd i think [21:27] right and i get the difference between bigend little end.. yada yada i was just hoping [21:27] Confused: if you use the numbers you need to subtract the amount of the new size field and add it at free space following. [21:27] thomedy: blame apple, they locked it all down [21:27] i know [21:27] no, not int he sense that environment he wants is on BSD either [21:27] it once was very BSD like but not as much now [21:27] thomedy: well, you could, if apple cared enough to let you. Even Microsoft is porting over their .NET environment (it even started off by running twice as fast as it did on Windows). The trouble is, Apple don't want you to, take it up with them [21:27] it is very changed from that [21:28] actually apple cares enough to give you xcode for their computers for free [21:28] they do not want their apps running on Linux [21:28] .. or their devs [21:28] dont use apple [21:28] :) [21:28] I use both [21:29] * lasersaber :-/ [21:29] but Apple is Apple and there are reasons why they do that. After all, there is no vendor selling more UNIX systems than Apple at this point, so its not bad what they do if you ask me [21:29] no one [21:29] * lasersaber :-/ [21:29] * lasersaber :-| [21:30] but the reality is if you "need to write for iOS" as you said, then you need an Apple box to really do it right [21:30] its not a religious thing, its a fact [21:30] I have a Mac for work.. Only now did the wisen up and offer standard PC laptops.. But I'm stuck with this proprietary hunk of crap.. You even need to install a custom bootloader to get things going. Nor do apple care enough to properly implement graphics-switching in a standards-compliant way, they just hacked something together for their OS and refuse interop if a non-OSX OS is loading.. Man I hate Apple. [21:30] like it or not [21:31] u can vb iso i guess if u need it that bad :-/ [21:31] No, you cannot [21:31] he violates the license to do that really [21:31] u can use vb to run apple* [21:31] sorry [21:31] and if he becomes an Apple Development that may matter to him [21:31] as he will agree to not do such things [21:31] lasersaber: Only when having Apple Hardware as well. [21:32] Apple makes Microsoft look like a bunch of treehuggers :P [21:32] lmao.. true [21:32] hmmm i seen people run apple on intel pcs on YT [21:32] (and then try to find a picture for Canonical.. :P) [21:32] actually Apple offers a way to get most normal commercial applications without the pain of Windows [21:33] No, they offer a partially broken OS which, due to marketing, vendors are forced to interact with [21:33] kinda veered off topic now [21:33] pseudonymous: did you succeed on your full disk encryption? [21:33] lasersaber: which doesnt make it being legal. [21:33] So if you need quickbooks, autocad, and Office without the Windows junkOS you can have it and get UNIX too [21:33] * lasersaber :-| [21:34] tomreyn: Nope, playing with the OS X recovery boot atm. But basically it seems like you need to partition things manually if you don't want to erase the entire disk, and at that point you realize how buggy the partitioning dialog is (I had it crash on me in 3 different ways) [21:34] anyway to answer your real question, you need a MacOS environment on Apple Hardware to do what you need. With everything in life, to do it right is many times not free [21:35] any more than soldering an authentic Mercedes emblem to a Ford does not a Mercedes make it. === Tex is now known as Texou [21:35] pseudonymous: hmm, i use it quite regularly and i never crashed (as in segmentation fault, the process failing) on me. but maybe it's due to some special hardware. [21:35] The Unix thing is a misnomer at this point. If you mean to get a certified Unix OS, sure, Apple paid for the cert, so they can call it Unix. But if you read up on the Unix philosophy, or compare the tools bundled to those on modern-day unices, it just doesn't compare (favourably) [21:36] burn.. [21:36] * lasersaber lol [21:36] please would you move religious discussions to #ubuntu-offtopic? we really only do support here. [21:36] tomreyn: not segfaults, but a freeze, some state-related partion-tool error where if I went back after making a crypt-partition, it couldn't redo/continue anything. Last thing was a crash further into the install because it failed to mount the / crypt partition.. Sadly. [21:37] pseudonymous: that'son apple hardware if i got this correctly? [21:37] Is there a room policy to kick people offering solutions that violate the licensure terms of software? That [21:37] that would likely get those people out [21:38] heyyy [21:38] there is a room policy to kick people out who are offtopic, which all of this is [21:38] jemand da??

Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben. Danke für Dein Verständnis! [21:38] tomreyn: no, that's just because the partitioning dialog isn't great, I think. A multitude of other issues are. But that's a different story. I've given up. [21:39] /join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:39] pseudonymous: sorry, i got to go for now. i should be back in ~ 45 min (for ~ another hour) in case you could not get assistance by then and are still looking for it. [21:40] and, yes it the installer won't work, partition first [21:41] Well, the initiate query was asking about the cross availability of MacOS development tools for Linux, a reasonable question that should have ended with just no, there is not if you want to deploy an application via the Apple iOS App Store eco-system instead of all the transmogrified responses that was provisioned by people with 'religious issues'. === xissburg_ is now known as xissburg [21:42] sorry, I logged on and off, basically I tried to tweak my .xinitrc file to start unity normally but couldnt. [21:42] * pseudonymous has religious issues :/ (Sorry) [21:42] linux_user: this channel is ubuntu technical support focused. for chatter we have #ubuntu-offtopic . [21:43] I'm using Ubuntu 16.10, with MATE. For some reason, the menu bars (File, Edit, View, etc.) in any Qt application (I tried in at least Tiled and qpdfview) don't appear. How do I fix this? [21:43] I agree, that is why I was suggesting that the only answer should have stopped at no, MacOS development requires a MacOS based Apple hardware system [21:44] linux_user: but then you kept going on and on and on, and you brought it back up now... [21:44] again the only thing I was pointing out was the answer was no [21:45] and others came up with all that other crapola not I [21:45] i got this share on my debian machine that i have mounted on my win pc, i can create folders and delete folders but files i have downloaded with transmission i have to log on to the debian machine and erase when i want to delete them, i dont need root access to delete them with my local linux acc, got umask 2 set in transmission deamon cfg... how do i make it so that i can delete them from my [21:45] win pc? [21:46] Pelle`: try #debian [21:46] they support debian [21:46] anyway, has anyone any information on getting SCID vs PC running within Ubuntu either by compilation of the source or knowing if a "scid vs pc" repo exists that has the binaries for that variant over the scid version that is less maintained? [21:47] ikonia yea but is kinda quiet there :) so i tought i'd try here [21:47] Pelle`: not really acceptable [21:47] mkay.. [21:47] Pelle`: you waited 3 minutes, === w7sak is now known as shantorn === kerplunk is now known as DeathDavid === anon is now known as Guest47013 [22:03] Hello [22:08] It's quiet here :p [22:08] Pozzo: hi [22:09] mynameisJulian, well it is Jan 1st [22:09] mynameisJulian: yeah and nobody could help me with my .xinitrc file [22:09] can someone help me understand why my logs are not being forwarded as I expect please? [22:09] mynameisJulian: that is because ubuntu is running fine by everybody :) [22:09] I am trying to forward logs from the slapd service [22:09] they are logged to the local4 syslog facility [22:09] eskatrem: you are not using ubuntu-gnome flavor by the way ? [22:09] as I understand it this means I should put a line like the following in my rsyslog.conf: [22:10] Pozzo: I dont know... the 16.04 [22:10] local4.* @dest.server.local:514 [22:10] eskatrem: if you don't know... you are using the standard ubuntu flavor with unity :-) [22:10] other logs I have like authpriv, etc, are successfully being sent with a line like that [22:10] hello [22:10] but not the slapd ones [22:10] why not? [22:10] Just think about it, Windows technical support has a constant 10 minute wait time and Ubuntu support is almost silent. That says enough. [22:10] Pozzo: yeah I guess it's the standard Ubuntu [22:11] mynameisJulian: if ubuntu had two billion users, it would be pretty busy... [22:11] well, ubuntu users are more computer litterate than windows users [22:11] thats just nonsense [22:12] maybe on average, but there are plenty of ignorant ones too [22:12] fearnothing: One day.... [22:12] mynameisJulian: unlikely [22:13] nothing wrong with ubuntu but the chances of it dislodging Windows are practically zero [22:13] Hey All, I'm trying to install ubuntu 16.10 but sadly on the main installation screen (choose language screen) or any other screen, My bluetooth mouse doesn't work [22:13] When Windows 7 support will end that would make a lot of people switch to Ubuntu. [22:13] eskatrem: What is up with a .xinitrc file ? As many DE's do not use it . [22:14] mynameisJulian: no it won't [22:15] it appears we have a true believer here :P [22:16] Ubuntu will never be as big, but it's growing rapidly. [22:16] Bashing-om: well, maybe it's not the .xinitrc file, but I lost unity [22:16] mynameisJulian: where are you getting this information from ? [22:16] guys, how can i add a show desktop icon in the taskbar panel? [22:16] lasersaber: what desktop? [22:17] any ideas anyone? [22:17] never mind i found it on YT [22:18] Bashing-om: you're right, .xinitrc wasnt executed actually [22:18] ikonia: Browsing Forums, but I could be wrong. Ubuntu is just improving. [22:18] mynameisJulian: you appear to just be saying things [22:19] brene: Do you have any regular USB mouse to try? [22:19] Sadly no [22:19] Ikonia: I'm just trying to get some positive vibes going :D [22:20] mynameisJulian: then don't [22:20] mynameisJulian: just making random stuff up isn't helpful [22:21] eskatrem: ubuntu 16.10 ? such that the Display Manager is lightdm ? Then if so we can work to restore lightdm if this is a fact . [22:21] Oooh! Harsh ikonia ;) [22:21] re [22:21] ok still the same issue [22:21] eskatrem: But mind ya, my unity experience is old old . [22:23] Sorry Ikonia..

[22:26] I cane still use my mouse but without pointer. [22:26] any clue about such issue ? [22:27] eskatrem: Let's try the systemd way from the login screen ctl+alt+F1 to gain a console - stop the DM ; ' systemctl isolate multi-user.target ' change TTYs ctl+alt+F2 and now run in this TTY ' systemctl isolate graphical.target ' Back to a functional GUI ?? [22:28] Bashing-om: ok, I was already in tty1 trying to bring unity to live somehow, let me run systemctl... [22:30] Bashing-om: yeah, after your command I get the log in screen from the GUI [22:30] let me log in now [22:31] Bashing-om: hmmm I couldn't log in for some reason, tried with a guest account [22:31] re [22:31] ok all works:) [22:32] what I did was to install nvidia driver for my gtx1070 and some intel microcode. [22:32] eskatrem: Well, this gets deeper ... Graphic's driver ? ( as guest also does not work ) ? what shows ' sudo lshw -C display ' in a pastebin site .

[22:35] I'm trying to download a relatively large 1.5 GB file (it's a movie), but I can't seem to do so successfully. Is there a plug-in or something I can use to download such files? [22:36] qwizzical: where are you downloading it from ? [22:36] seedr [22:37] oh, so it's a torrent [22:37] yeah, basically [22:37] can anyone tell me why the version sof python in "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" on windows 10, is 2.7 and 3.4? Since python 3.6 is out, how come it doesn't use python 3.6 even after I did the apt-get upgrade thing? [22:37] qwizzical: is it not downloading >0% at all? [22:37] tryingthis: because it only upgrades to supported packaged version [22:37] tryingthis: ls /usr/bin/*python* [22:38] tryingthis: and there's a specific channel for that system, I forget its name [22:38] oh. thanks for your help ikonia and reisio [22:39] I will try to find the appropriate channel [22:39] #ubuntu-on-windows [22:39] not many people, unsurprising [22:39] No, the download bar evidently indicated that it was being downloaded to some extent. But after a while, it said "Failed". [22:39] oh. thanks resisio [22:39] ##windows would technically be on-topic for that discussion, too [22:39] qwizzical: so what % did it get to? [22:40] cool. ill check out windows. [22:40] tryingthis: also, latest version released upstream isn't the same as latest stable downstream (Ubuntu) [22:40] I'm not sure -- that wasn't specified or anything -- but the download was about half-filled [22:40] download bar* [22:40] qwizzical: oh okay [22:40] qwizzical: what client was it? [22:41] Hmm, I'm not sure I quite understand. What do you mean? [22:41] thanks reisio [22:41] µTorrent, Deluge, Transmission, etc. [22:41] what program do you use, qwizzical [22:41] BBL [22:42] the only reason I can think of for a torrent to say "download _failed_" is if your system ran out of space, really [22:42] Oh, well I downloaded the magnet link from yify, then put it on seedr, and that's about it [22:42] otherwise it would just keep trying to download, even if no progress was being made [22:42] I don't use a client of any sort like bittorrent and the like [22:42] shiiite [22:42] oh seedr is some web-based service? [22:43] if you have a storage limit, check you haven't exceeded it [22:43] yeah, it basically converts the magnet link to a downloadable form (through seeds and stuff) [22:43] eskatrem: Are you stuck at getting the 'lshw' to redirect to a pastebin site ? [22:43] no, I'm way below the storage limit [22:43] well, yeah that's what magnet links are for [22:44] if you haven't run out of resources, then the software has simply failed [22:44] Bashing-om: doing that now [22:44] seek out seedr's support system, or find a more reliable service [22:44] so what do you think I should do? [22:44] qwizzical: well, that sounds like its a seedr issue, not an ubuntu issue? [22:44] take my advice, avoid things that talk about "the cloud" [22:44] eskatrem: :) trying to help . [22:45] k1_ no, it's definitely not a seedr issue. I think it's a problem with my computer, because this happened just this one time [22:45] reisio haha why do you say that? [22:45] qwizzical: oh was the problem downloading an already-downloaded torrent contents from seedr to your computer, via http? [22:46] Yeah, I think so [22:46] okay well that can only likely be so many things [22:46] https maybe, but yeah [22:46] I would suspect, in this order: seedr failed on their end, your isp cut you off, your router failed, you ran out of space locally [22:46] qwizzical: where is the issue now? you can download from seedr to your pc? whar error did you get? was the internet connection resetted? [22:47] g'luck, I'm out [22:47] happy new year everyone :) === fred is now known as Guest52466 [22:47] This is what happened: seedr extracted all of the seeds of the file, allowing my PC to download said file. The download wasn't successful. [22:47] qwizzical: it helps to tell complete error messages and not think so/maybe [22:49] quintopia: you can upload error message pictures to imgur.com or transfer.sh or text errors to pastebin.com [22:49] that was supposed to go to qwizzical [22:49] this is what it says "Failed -- seedr.cc" [22:49] there's no error message as such, except that [22:50] qwizzical: is it your browser's downloader which says it or the seedr website? [22:50] Bashing-om: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23724620/ something like that [22:50] my brswer's downloaded (I'm on firefox) [22:50] downloader* [22:50] browser* [22:51] so I'm pretty sure seedr didn't mess up on its end [22:51] akik what do you think I should do? [22:51] eskatrem: Intel, and the drivr is loaded, Intel "just works" as a general rule . lemme scrath my head and consider what to do next . [22:52] qwizzical, so you downloaded from a site not through a torrent [22:52] qwizzical: unknown, i don't use seedr. have you checked at seedr that your torrent has been downloaded to 100% ? [22:52] Bashing-om: something strange happened, now I can't log in from the GUI (I'm typing this from another computer) [22:52] did you verify your download [22:53] can anyone tell me if it is possable to tell grub to boot 1 line at a t ime ... maybe pause after each line [22:53] kk4ewt: Well, the magnet link was of one torrent's, and seedr extracted its seeds, allowing my browser to download the file [22:53] one of* [22:54] qwizzical: we cant tell you what happend there. ask the seedr support [22:54] akik yup [22:54] qwizzical: seedr.cc says that their server downloads the torrent [22:54] Like some kind of debug mode ? [22:54] so i installed xfce4 alongside ubuntu unity 14.04 and the wierd thing is that i cannot connect to my ssh servers on the xfce4 session [22:54] but on unity it works okay [22:54] qwizzical: actually ubuntu is not involved here at all. [22:54] akik hmm, what does that mean? [22:54] packages like this aren't available by simply `sudo apt install taskd'? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/taskd [22:54] qwizzical: you don't download the torrent, they download the torrent [22:54] im getting Permission denied (publickey). [22:55] k1l_: Ah yeah I'm sorry haha, but no one else seems to know anything about it :/ [22:55] akik Oh okay [22:55] eskatrem: Ouch ! .. reboot and see then if ya can get to the login screen ? [22:55] akik... but I download something, right? [22:56] qwizzical: yes of course after seedr.cc has downloaded the torrent [22:56] or maybe some kind of safemode boot .. i dont know [22:56] qwizzical: have you checked at seedr that your torrent has been downloaded to 100% ? [22:56] akik Basically I'm not able to download that "something". This has happened only once; I think it's because of the large file size [22:56] jgcampbell300: you can only boot one line at a time on grub [22:56] akik yeah I checked that [22:57] Bashing-om: [22:57] Bashing-om: rebooting now [22:57] qwizzical: again: ask seedr. we cant do anything here [22:57] guys, just a stupid question. it's possible to install Xubuntu into a us stick/external hdd? :x [22:57] *usb [22:57] pitastrudl: are the permissions on your keys correct? maybe you can turn up verbosity on your ssh attempt. [22:57] jgcampbell300: Not one line at a time, but if booting from grub one can set 1 page at a time . [22:57] qwizzical: and check that your local disk space didn't run out [22:58] akik Lol no chance of that, I've got ~500 GB to spare [22:58] Bashing-om, cool .. how would i do that ... or where can i read up on it [22:58] I'm using Ubuntu 16.10, with MATE. For some reason, the menu bars (File, Edit, View, etc.) in any Qt application (I tried in at least Tiled and qpdfview) don't appear. Source is this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt5/+bug/1307619 , but the suggestion of uninstalling appmenu-qt5 didn't work. Apparently this has something to do with dbus? Any tips? [22:58] Launchpad bug 1307619 in appmenu-qt5 (Ubuntu) "All Qt5 applications' menu bar is missing at non-Unity DEs after appmenu-qt5 installed" [High,Confirmed] [22:58] thanks anyway akik, I appreciate the help! :) [22:58] Bashing-om, i am trying to stop it from running a script that crashes it and im not sure witch one is doing it or how to get to cli [22:59] Exterminador: Sure it is doable , people install to USB and external devices alla the time . [22:59] Bashing-om: ok, now, I can't login from the GUI with my normal user name, and if I log in with a guest I get an empty screen (the mouse works, though) [22:59] Bashing-om: but that will install grub on the laptop right? or it wont change nothing? [23:00] gjWell . in such a case one can set "break points" when booting . But I do not have the direct expeience to say the when/how . [23:01] Bashing-om: hmm any pointer to start unity from tty1? [23:01] i mean, imagine that i have W10 on the laptop. and decide to install *buntu in a external drive. will anything happen related to bootloader of windows? [23:01] Ubuntu-Mate 16.10. Wifi has been incredibly slow ever since some updates about a week ago, every other OS or device I try gets the full 700Kbps download, but can't seem to hold a stable connection over wifi, averaging 10-250Kbps with spikes to 450Kbps but sometimes complete drops of the connection. [23:01] Exterminador: Again, it depends on the install method that you choose, If it os a defailt standard : erase disk and install ubuntu" then the default is to install grub to the 1st recognized device (sda) . [23:02] Bashing-om: then, if i choose the external drive, all will be installed in there, even the bootloader? [23:03] eskatrem: from grub or from TTY1 ? [23:03] TTY1 [23:04] eskatrem: [23:04] eskatrem: ' systemctl isolate graphical.target ' But That does much more than just start the GUI, it also stops everything that is not a dependency of graphical.target . [23:06] Exterminador: Best I can tell you to KNOW where grub will install is to use the "something else" install option . but ya need to know here what you are setting up . In something else you have the option to direct where grub installs to . [23:06] I was strying stuff like `startx unity` from tty1 [23:07] hello everybody, happy new year all and sorry for my bad english. [23:07] eskatrem: Old docs .. upstart does not apply to 16.10's systemd :) [23:08] :-s [23:08] Bashing-om: i understand. btw, seems windows don't let me create more than 4 partitions. can i override it with partition manager on xubuntu? will that affect anything? === curly_braces is now known as curly_brace [23:08] http://projectftm.com/index.php?75cb4d when i plug my ham radio into my ubuntu thing http://projectftm.com/index.php?75cb4d it completely freezes the system [23:08] hello, i'm having an issue where ubuntu is not recognising my wireless internet adapter [23:08] that's the tail of /var/log/messages, any other stuff needed i'll provide after a reboot [23:08] eskatrem: For that matter ''startx' does not apply to upstart either .. old old old docs you are following . [23:08] it worked for windows and other distros so i'm not sure why it wont work for ubuntu [23:09] when i've tried it on windows, it said that my disk will change into dynamic or something like that [23:09] hmm... I removed the ~/.Xauthority file, so now I can log in as my user name from the GUI, but I still have an empty screen (with mouse and the backgroundscreen I chose, though) [23:09] Bashing-om: hmm, startx, I knew that one when playing with debian (the computer I'm using to type this) [23:10] Exterminador: No .. in the leagacy partioning scheme these is a 4 primary partition limit . ( die yo addressing ) . the way arounf this limit is to create one of those primary partitions as 'extended" and in this extended partition on can then create an additional 128 "logical" partitions . [23:10] i have macbook 2,1 and i install on it ubuntu 14.04 LTS and i upgrade to 16.04 32bits, but i have some issues with keyboard, on mac if i want to type "|" for example i use alt+shift+l but in ubuntu this not work correctly . i look many website and forum but i dont find fix for my issues all special char not work [23:10] help please [23:11] oh, i see. and afaik linux don't have problems on being installed into logical partitions [23:12] Exterminador: And of the Windows disk is converted to dynamic . it is then exclusive to Windows and nothing else will touch it !@ [23:12] you mean i can create the partitions i want and dont be afraid of that the disk change to dynamic? [23:13] i'll be able still to install the OSes i want? [23:13] (and boot them properly) [23:14] eskatrem: Let's try from a reboot to TTY1 ' dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ ; unity --reset-icons ; setsid unity ; systemd.unit=multi-user.target ' . [23:14] Bashing-om: what's that supposed to do? [23:14] Exterminador: Right, ubuntu will happily install to a logical partition :) [23:14] great!

Then when installing ubuntu " something else" amd set up your extended/logical partitions . Is what I think . [23:19] I'm having a weird problem when trying to delete files on a different partition.

[23:26] Bashing-om: that's what I was looking to do! [23:26] can I get nautilus to tell me the full path of a folder including the drive name? I'm trying to set the firefox cache folder but /media/foo/bar isn't working [23:27] it is not writing anything [23:27] about:config entry: browser.cache.disk.parent_directory [23:27] eskatrem: Try ' rm ~/.gconf ~/.gconfd ~/.metacity ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1 ~/.config/dconf -rf ' ; reboot and let's "see" . [23:28] I don't have .gconfd and ~/.gconf is a directory [23:28] eskatrem: that;s what the -rf does [23:29] ok, I just have .compiz and .gconf [23:29] eskatrem: Hummm .. that ending "-rf" should have taken care of " is a directory " . as r == recursive . [23:30] Bashing-om: right, I missed that. rebooting now [23:30] having some trouble with a renaming script. what i am trying to do is rename all avi files in list of directory after the directory that they are in. here is what i have, but it is not working as expected: find . -type d -not -empty -exec echo mv \{\}/*.avi \{\}.avi \;\ [23:30] isn't it rm -rf [dir] ? [23:30] not rm [dir] -rf ? [23:30] not sure if that matters [23:30] does anyone have any idea of how to fix my issue? [23:31] how do I include subtitles in my video player? [23:31] ic2000: usb? [23:31] Bashing-om: I rebooted, still get an empty GUI [23:31] it does not seem to be expanding the glob, do i need to escape it or put it in quotes or something? [23:31] genewitch: yeah it's a usb adapter [23:31] ic2000: what's lsusb say it is [23:32] stan_man_can: Yeah .. does not matter . is but a matter of human perspective . If it does make you feel the better I will edit it to your preference (??) . [23:32] I rebooted, still got an empty GUI [23:33] Bashing-om: i can use GParted to shrink windows partition, move the unallocated space and add it to the extended partition that i already have, right? [23:33] genewitch: https://bpaste.net/show/ded27293bf39 [23:34] hi ppl [23:34] hi papa [23:34] tnx for all [23:35] Exterminador: Well, many have with good results .. but I say again Windows tools for Windows file system . for best results. [23:35] i just dont wanna rebbot into Windows, then rebbot into Xubuntu. :P [23:35] eskatrem: One last poke ' rm ~/.dmrc ; . then we consider re-installing the DE . [23:36] *reboot [23:36] windows: planetsidede2 [23:37] Exterminador: Shrinking a partition means re-writting the partition table, make it the easier on the system with defrag, and that the system is happy with the new partition table with 'chkdsk; . Now that is what I think . [23:37] genewitch: what does it mean? [23:37] Hi, I am having trouble fixing a problem. I installed ubuntu-server on a laptop with 2 gpu's one intel one nvidia. ubuntu tries to use the nvidia card and i get a black screen immediately. I believe installing nvidia-current will solve this problem, I used a desktop live usb and chrooted into my ubuntu-server install but it won't resolve any DNS, i can only use IP's, which means I can't use the repos to install [23:37] nvidia-current. anyone know how I can make my chroot envirnment resolve dns? [23:38] hi man [23:38] zerorax: How did you det up the chroot ? depends on that how to have DNS . [23:38] det/set* [23:39] Bashing-om: ok how should I reinstall the DE? (I removed ~/.dmrc and rebooted, to no avail) [23:39] Bashing-om, I bound /proc , /dev. and /sys and then chroot [23:40] im hack man from usa and setup wallpaper PUTIN [23:40] I'm not familiar with chroot, I've only used it once before and it was with very detailed instructions [23:40] eskatrem: 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop ' Where for sure this is a (u)buntu install ! [23:40] Bashing-om: i'll consier your opinion. and redo almost everything on windows. event thought, then i can use GParted to "play" with the remaining partitions, since i think it wont affect anything as it will be unallocated space [23:41] *consider [23:42] xenial, desktop, Network Manager - trying to setup a static IP: 192.168.1.5. ping 192.168.1.1 ... 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1 ... ping 216.58.216.110 From 192.168.1.5 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable [23:42] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23724928/ route -n [23:43] netstat -tsp [23:43] Bashing-om, any ideas? [23:44] papa_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23724930/ netstat -tsp [23:44] [23:44] there used to be a nosetmode boot flag that worked in order versions [23:44] but 16.04 doesn't support it [23:44] zerorax: ro directly answer one runs ' mount --bind /etc/resolv.conf /$CHROOT/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf ' . Hang on one and I get ya the chroot routine I use . [23:45] next time i'll leave at least 100Gb of unallocated space on disk [23:45] Bashing-om, i'll try that while you find your routine. i really appreciate your helping me [23:45] zerorax, have you tried just dropping to console when it boots to the black screen instead of messing around with chroot? [23:45] zerorax, i.e. ctrl-alt-f1 [23:46] deus_, yes, that doesn't work, i believe the black screen is related to something that stops the boot sequence [23:46] fair [23:46] s novim godom parnni [23:46] everything i've read says this can be fixed on similar laptops by installing nvidia-current from the repo [23:46] zerorax: Mine that is known to work ; ' sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt ; for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done - sudo chroot /mnt ' . [23:47] tbh, i'd rather disable the nvidia gpu sice it eats electricity and I don't need it for the way i will be using the computer [23:47] uhh, genewitch you still here? [23:47] papa_: umm.. what? [23:47] thanks Bashing-om [23:47] and thanks for your input deus_ [23:48] eh ok, could someone else help me then [23:48] just one question: Partition: /dev/sda1; File System: nfts; Mount Point: n/a; Size: 9.77 GiB, Used: 327.24 MiB; Unused: 9.45 GiB; Flags: diag --> can i shrink this damn partition? [23:48] shrug, just an idea. i tend to overcomplicate things myself because i barely know what i'm doing, heh. [23:49] Exterminador, you can shrink it, I'm not sure if you can do it from linux using gparted or if you need a windows [23:49] what does that partition means? [23:49] what's the purpose of it? [23:50] oh it's n 10gb... it's probably a recovery or efi partition [23:50] ic2000: is the ID 04d9:a061 Holtek Semiconductor, Inc. the wifi device? when you unplug it from USB and run lsusb again does that item disappear? [23:50] because: Flags: boot is in /dev/sda2 [23:50] don't shrink it [23:50] Burr-Brown from TI USB Audio CODEC causes ubuntu to hang when plugged in, anyone have any tips? http://projectftm.com/index.php?75cb4d this is what /var/log/messages say when i plug it in [23:50] happy new yea from siberia [23:51] zerorax: via GParted it says the Minimum size should be 328 MiB [23:51] Exterminador: Once Windows is happy happy happy, and you have the unabllocated space, in GParted you can play with that unallocated space to your heart's content . [23:52] Bashing-om: that's what i've thought [23:52] windows is a pain in the arse, but still i need it. [23:52] Exterminador, it says that because that's how much data it has on it. it can't shrink beyond the point where it's full without losing data, but gparted is assuming the partition will never need more space for new data [23:52] Exterminador: "Size: 9.77 GiB" that is already tiny bu todaus standarfs . [23:53] zerorax: copy that. i won't touch it [23:53] genewitch: oh crap. u wanted the usb plugged in when i did it. i just redid it and this on reappeared "Bus 008 Device 003: ID 0cf3:20ff Atheros Communications, Inc. AR7010 (no firmware)" [23:53] by todays* [23:53] if it's an EFI partition you could screw up your system and have to do a clean install of everyting [23:53] so i'd assume it's that one, the no "firmware" thin makes sense too === josh is now known as Guest23049 [23:53] zerorax: better not touch it. my hdd is not in good shape already, i guess [23:53] LOL [23:54] how do i add a link in my desktop applications dropdown (mate de) for a program i just installed (liteide)? [23:54] btw, what's the smarctl command to check the disk, to see if it's dying or not? [23:54] Exterminador, yeah, and if you DO decide you NEED to resize, it, don't shrink it to the minimum, leave considerable space to be used in future [23:55] I don't know too much about EFI, but I know that it needs it's own partition in most use cases [23:55] zerorax: i also think it's the efi thing [23:56] ic2000: you need the firmware [23:56] 10gb seems like more than it needs, but at some point someone decided that it should be that big for a reason [23:56] Exterminador: As you have asked about 4 primary partition ,imits , this is not a EFI drive/system / RFI dupports 128 partitions by default. [23:56] genewitch: yeah but how can i obtain it? [23:56] genewitch: it seemed to installed itself on windows and other distros [23:56] ic2000: apt install linux-firmware [23:56] ic2000: usually [23:56] genewitch: okay. do i restart after? [23:56] couldn't hurt [23:57] Wassup fellas! [23:57] alright, thanks man. if i don't come back then it worked :) [23:57] guys i have a problem installing ubuntu, can anyone help me please? [23:57] i need my computer [23:57] Bashing-om: i have a partition with 1.02GiB of unallocated space [23:58] sdasda: explain problem [23:58] even GParted don't let me create another partition. i have the swap on the extended partition. can i add that 1.02 GiB to the swap? [23:59] snowstorm i put the iso on a usb stick and i clicked on the install ubuntu thing after rebooting my computer, i did all the steps and when the installation started, it got stuck on ''getting data from time server'' i restarted my computer and tried to install again but now all i get is a black screen with a blinking dash after i click install ubunt [23:59] u [23:59] grub [23:59] snowstorm and now my harddrive is all wiped so i dont have windows on it [23:59] my machine have 4Gb ram, so i've created the swap with 4Gb. will that 1.02GiB make any difference on the performance?
