[00:00] Hey EveryBody? [00:00] using swap creates a huge decrease in performance [00:00] hi sepehr! [00:00] zerorax: depends [00:00] zerorax: depends on if OOM crashes decrease performance more [00:00] I have 8gb ram, and don't use swap, but I don't do anything that ever requires more than 8gb ram [00:00] genewitch: doesn't seem like it worked [00:00] zerorax: try compiling libreoffice [00:01] zerorax: using swap can also create a huge decrease in OOMs and outright freezes [00:01] zerorax: but when i installed Xubuntu it said it's better to use swap [00:01] ic2000: lsusb says no firmware still? [00:01] wth? [00:01] genewitch, like I said _I_ don't do anything that requires more [00:01] Exterminador: using swap is very slow. compare the speed of ram with the speed of a hdd. [00:01] genewitch: yeah still says no firmware [00:01] lots of people need more than 8gb ram... those people should buy more ram [00:01] snowstorm please help me im desperate [00:01] your system reliability will still be higher if you have some swap enabled as headroom [00:01] zerorax: i don't have a lawn, therefore no one needs a lawnmower [00:01] sdasda: when restarting you are sure it does from the live installation usb drive? [00:01] i have 8 gigs of ram . i also have 20 gb of swap space , im running backtrack + mac os sierra and mean while im using ubuntu [00:01] 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 \;\ results: nothing actually gets renamed. here is the output: http://pastebin.com/vaJfesZY but it isn't actually moving anything. [00:01] zerorax: but is swap used anytime, if not needed? [00:01] snowstorm i dont know what that means, how do i check? [00:02] Exterminador: swap is a backup if the ram is full. and its needed if you want to use hibernation (suspend2disk) [00:02] sdasda are you using this computer at this moment? [00:02] Exterminador, there is a setting somewhere called swapiness, which tells linux how much to rely on swap, if you set it to a certain value it will only use swap when memory is full [00:02] ic2000: oh ok [00:02] snowstorm im talking to you through my other computer [00:03] i see [00:03] Guys is Using IRC Safe ? [00:04] now, how do i do a check to my hdd via smartmontools? [00:04] sdasda: make sure your computer boots from the usb either by setting boot order in bios or by choosing boot device during post [00:04] sepehr, safe for what? [00:04] sepehr: nowadays nothing is safe. govs spies all your data [00:04] sepehr, yes [00:04] :x [00:04] sepehr, it is encrypted [00:04] grub-install [00:04] sepehr: might wanna use tails [00:05] GroundZero1 What about the fact that any body can see my ip address ? [00:05] Bashing-om: ok, somehow I installed xfce4 and then I managed to make it work (with xfce4), thanks a lot for your help [00:05] sepehr, who said that? i cant see your ip adress [00:05] sepehr, i think the admin of the channel can't either [00:05] ic2000: what version of ubuntu [00:05] GroundZero1, Thanks didnt know that [00:06] ic2000: the wifi thing wants to be a mass storage device (i.e. it's getting mounted); there's a few workarounds but it depends on what version of ubuntu. You can try unmounting it (check by typing mount in a command line) [00:06] sepehr, i was inspecting the irc packets with wireshark..nothing that you could read..everything encrypted..it would an expert to crack your messages [00:06] snowstorm i just did that [00:06] eskatrem: man after my own heart .. I too like xfce .. in it much easier to work with and to configure . [00:06] sepehr: sepehr@83.121.227.143 [00:06] snowstorm it still gives me a black screen with blinking dash [00:07] Bashing-om, i like mate..so easy..so compact..so efficient [00:07] sepehr: lol, you need to register with nickserv and possibly get your host masked like mine [00:07] and to help more with security, use the ssl port of freenode [00:07] genewitch, is this his real ip? [00:07] genewitch: how can i check [00:07] that will help [00:07] i can verify thats my real ip [00:07] ic2000: type mount in a command line, pastebin it [00:07] im from russia. Happy New year ppl ! =) [00:07] Exterminador: Let's all know what we are working with presently .pastebin ' sudo parted -l ; sudo fdisk -lu ' and we all get on the same page . [00:08] Exterminador, How should i make it more safe ? [00:08] sdasda: did you get anything before the blinking dash.... is dash preceed with some letters/numbers? [00:08] i got the loading ubuntu logo [00:08] snowstorm [00:08] genewitch: https://bpaste.net/show/6073f9507190 [00:08] Bashing-om: probably a problem with Ubuntu desktop. thanks a lot [00:08] ic2000: oh and for whate version of ubuntu it's cat /etc/*release* [00:09] sdasda is it loading/booting? [00:09] snowstorm i dont know, there is just a black screen and a blinking dash upper right of the screen [00:09] snowstorm thats all thats happening with it [00:09] genewitch: DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.10 [00:09] eskatrem: Yeah. no doubt now . but I would have expected the RE-install of the DE to have corrected :( [00:11] genewitch: there is another thing i looked up [00:11] tnx [00:11] apparently with my adapters, they support the broadcom drivers [00:11] so if you can show me how to install them [00:11] that may work [00:11] sdasda so noting else is happening? [00:11] snowstorm no [00:12] ic2000: apt search broadcom [00:12] ic2000: "support the broadcom drivers" briadcom is proprietary. [00:12] !bcm | ic2000 [00:12] ic2000: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [00:13] hrmm, ok. [00:13] ic2000: i have an ath9k somewhere but i think i had to compile something. there's a solution for debian, so maybe rephrase your question in here like this: "lsusb shows Atheros AR7010 (no firmware); ubuntu 16.10 wifi how?" or similar, i am sure someone in here knows exactly what tod o [00:13] sdasda: my guess is that it doesn't load from the usb installation stick. Try to redo your usb with a verified ISO [00:13] who can take a look at this and tell me what to think about my hdd? http://paste.ubuntu.com/23725039/ [00:13] I must leave pc for now. bbl [00:13] snowstorm can you give a link to an ubuntu that works good? and a universal burner so i can burn it to my stick please [00:14] when i copy my output from my script and run it manually i get this: mv ./blah/*.avi ./blah.avi [00:14] if it's cool or it's better to think in having a new one [00:14] sdasda ubuntu.com [00:14] response: mv: target './blah.avi' is not a directory [00:14] snowstorm but its there i downloaded the ubuntu im trying to install [00:14] Exterminador: looking . [00:15] sdasda https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [00:15] snowstorm and what burner should i use? link please? :) [00:15] sdasda https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows [00:15] sdasda rufus [00:16] rufus work on linux? [00:16] why using rufus instead of unetbootin ? === pq_pq is now known as spspsps [00:16] snowstorm thank you so much, are you gonna be online for a while? i might need more help [00:16] snowstorm [00:16] sdasda: snowstorm quitted [00:17] exterminador i hope you can help me then x) [00:17] i would really appriciate it [00:17] sdasda: i'm here to be helped. :x lol [00:17] snowstorm: why using rufus instead of unetbootin ? [00:18] pozzo i think because its faster [00:18] ok... if you said so :) [00:18] exterminador : are have problem with installation ??? [00:18] or you can use usb-creator-gtk [00:19] Mr1NK: nope, i've installed it successfuly. just trying to learn a bit more [00:19] not necessarily a ubuntu question, but what is a decent dvd burning software on ubuntu [00:20] i used to use tovid, i dont know how it run nowdays [00:21] hola :) [00:22] 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 [00:22] brasero is quite good [00:22] or KD3 [00:22] is there a package that can compile an entire ubuntu system from source using compiler optimizations specific to your hardware? [00:23] zerorax: yeah it's called gentoo [00:23] genewitch I meant something automated, so non-tech people can do it [00:23] non tech people wouldn't need those optimizations [00:24] because 90% of it is not using dracut [00:24] or initrd [00:24] zerorex : try snappy [00:24] Bashing-om: so, is it time to buy a new hdd and replace this one? :x [00:24] set irc.server.freenode.username "TheGoose_" [00:24] fuck [00:25] who? [00:25] hello , my laptop has been fucked up , when i open it i got this : error file 'grub/x86_64-efi/normal mod not found [00:25] when i write ls , it show (hd0,gpt1) ... (hd0,gpt12) [00:26] What's the difference between font size and text scaling? [00:27] Exterminador: Well, the drive has beeb ariubd fir a while and you have " Current_Pending_Sector >> 3 " that is not good . Lemme have one with greater experience look , if he is available . wait a few . [00:27] parsnip:they are [00:27] Bashing-om: please help [00:27] my user has permissions to them [00:27] its wierd i can use them on one DE and not on the other [00:28] the verbosity just says at the end that the ssh-agent is trying the pub auth methods and then funding nothing [00:28] esjkfgsdjkfh: Sorry efi booting is not in my range of experience . [00:28] "tryng pirvate key etc" [00:28] then "no more auth etohds to try" and the error [00:29] Bashing-om: i guess i need start saving for an SSD! must be SATA 3Gb/s, but well. [00:29] esjkfgsdjkfh : are have problem with efi booting ?! [00:29] i've heard SSD are faster (but not so reliable as HDD) [00:31] Exterminador: Maybe yes, I am still awaiting a resoponse from my ping for a second opinion on the drive health . [00:31] Exterminador: SSD are much faster and as reliable as HDD => there is no HDD reliable [00:31] SSD will outlive most of the parts in your computer [00:31] Pozzo: so, i should go for one? [00:31] Exterminador: SSD technology has come a lomg way . They are even more reliable and longer lasting than a hard drive ! [00:31] http://www.zdnet.com/article/ssd-reliability-in-the-real-world-googles-experience/ [00:31] HDD are also reliable to store data than fog on a glasses [00:31] google did a long study of this ^ [00:32] Exterminador: yes you can go with SSD [00:32] Exterminador: if you are really anxious you can use SSD for your system and store your /home on a legacy HDD [00:33] Pozzo: i'm not much into this. but, SSD lifetime is higher/equal/lower than HDD? do you can tell me? [00:33] Exterminador: a recent SSD will be equally lifetime [00:33] Exterminador: Got a pong ! stand by . [00:33] lets take this to ##hardware please [00:34] Bashing-om: yes sir! :D [00:34] except for very specific situation maybe... if you read/write hundred of Gigabyte per day [00:34] bazhang: sorry. my bad for starting this "thread" :D [00:35] guys i cant use google chrome on ubuntu? [00:35] mr1nk [00:35] sdasda: chromium [00:35] open source chrome [00:36] does it store all the bookmarks i have on chrome? [00:36] Pozzo: well, you've helped me a lot to decide. i'll go for a SSD. and i dont write almost any data to the hard drive. almost everything i download goes to the external drive [00:36] when i start my laptop its show this file /boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod not found". [00:36] sdasda: not sure I use FF, but I'd beleive so [00:36] thank you [00:36] esjkfgsdjkfh, Did it ever boot? [00:36] no [00:36] Exterminador: if you worry about reliability : have a look on RAID1 [00:36] esjkfgsdjkfh : may be you lost your grub [00:36] black screen with shell [00:37] esjkfgsdjkfh, you just installed the os? [00:37] use multiple disk (from different brand / series) [00:37] it was working [00:37] i dualboot [00:37] windows 10 and kali linux [00:37] #kali-linux then esjkfgsdjkfh [00:38] esjkfgsdjkfh, they don's support Kali here.. [00:38] its about kali [00:38] its happen if i have ubuntu too [00:38] kali is NOT supported here esjkfgsdjkfh [00:38] sdasda: maybe this help: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium [00:38] i cant open the windows too [00:38] ##windows for that esjkfgsdjkfh [00:38] Exterminador: Im pretty sure its on launchpad, so you can just apt install it [00:39] Exterminador: " < daftykins> ooh yes '3 current_pending_sector' so that suggests the data shexould be copied off that disk for a backup, then the drive fully zeroed to see how many bad sectors are encountered - they might all remap, or a huge number might be found and reallocated... but until it's done, likely that disk will keep causing trouble to the OS, software or user data " [00:40] how do i see what serial ports are active? [00:41] Bashing-om: jeez. i've recently formatted the entire drive, before install w10 and xubuntu (both x64) [00:41] by the meantime, i'm not having problems. just want to make sure how my disk was. but seems it's dying. :/ === rico is now known as Guest80500 [00:42] Exterminador: do you have checked the smart properties of your disk ? [00:42] Exterminador: SMART report? [00:42] TheGoose_: yes, apt install chromium-browser will work (at least on Xubuntu 16.04.1) [00:42] Pozzo: it's smarctl -a /dev/sda that i've pasted [00:43] Exterminador: Pretty sure you need smartmontools to check it [00:43] Exterminador: Sometimes zero'n out a drive will work wonders . Is all I can say . [00:43] but you can install it and run sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX to get info [00:44] Bashing-om: you mean i need to format it again? and reinstall all again? [00:44] :x [00:45] Exterminador: Yeah, even then there is a degree of doubt about the life of that drive . [00:45] Bashing-om: i've formatted it at 3-4 weeks ago. so, i should assume that it's in real bad shape already [00:46] Exterminador: What ya need to do is zero out that drive . takes about an hour per 100 Gigs - depending on how fast of a processor you have . [00:46] how hard is it to contribute code to ubuntu? [00:46] it's a Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10Ghz [00:46] zerorax: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment [00:46] zerorax: try to contribute for translate documentation first [00:47] Exterminador: 'Bout an hour per 100 Gigs to write 0's , then install and run the smart test once more . [00:48] Bashing-om: and how do i do that? i've formatted the drive while installing windows. [00:48] Exterminador: Bear in mind that 2 people have advised that the drive as is is un-reliable . [00:49] bleh, this looks complicated [00:49] I hate when developers make it hard to contribute code to their projects [00:50] Exterminador: Formatting is not the same as writiing zero's . one does that operation from a live ubuntu with the 'dd' command . [00:50] how do i start a service in /etc/init.d/myservice as a specific user? [00:50] in ubuntu 16.x [00:51] Bashing-om: i can run smart test from live, right? [00:51] zerorax: I like playing doctor, how hard is it to become a real one ? seriously... === zen is now known as Guest11794 [00:52] so, i'll try it. i guess i'll zero out it during the night [00:52] and tomorrow reinstall all again [00:53] Exterminador: I have had varing degrees of success with zero'd drives . maybe yes, maybe not so yes . But if you value your system and it's data, ya gots to do it ( dd) . Else get the manufacture's test suite and see what the drive's manufacture thinks of the drive's health . [00:54] Exterminador: have you tried smartcl long test ? [00:55] Exterminador: if the test is not good... you should put the hdd to trash... it happens that smartcl says "it's not faulty... and in fact it is" [00:55] but smartctl never says "the disk if faulty... and in fact it is not" [00:55] What file do I edit to add a process that runs in the background each time the computer starts [00:56] or the contrary :) [00:57] well... have a good evening ! bybye [00:57] so, lets start this.. [00:58] Guys. Hi. Is this error message: " required file './ltmain.sh' not found" due to an old version of libtool? === arthur is now known as Guest17780 [00:58] just making a backup of the disk on Xubuntu [00:58] then i'll make of windows [00:59] cfoch: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Error-required-file-ltmain_002esh-not-found.html [00:59] Bashing-om: so, i put the usb stick, boot from it, open terminal and type: dd ? is that correct? [01:00] MrJones: was that always so? because I remember I have never done something like that in the past. [01:03] Exterminador: Lemme have a bit of tim to hunt up the command . You must be extrrememly carefuk with 'dd; . It is not known as sata destryer for nothing . [01:04] sata/data* [01:04] happy new year [01:05] Bashing-om: What command are you looking for? [01:05] Bashing-om: Are you trying to burn an iso? [01:05] even if i destroy the whole data, that wont be a big problem, Bashing-om. i'll re-install the OSes again [01:06] hi [01:06] marioad7: hi [01:07] I am new on linux hehe [01:07] Chatting now from my freshly installed ubuntu!! :D [01:07] guys what's the best web editor for linux? something that supports javascript, jquery, html css and all that? [01:08] marioad7: Everyone has to start from the bottom. What are your goals with Linux. The basics? [01:08] RageCraze: vim [01:08] RageCraze: Most def vim [01:08] * FinalX seconds^Wthirds vim [01:08] go VIM [01:09] * mukluks \o/ [01:09] what are the packages needed to allow me to switch from my intel to my nvidia graphics on my laptop somthing primus? [01:09] RageCraze: Google vim basic commands and you should be busy for awhile or just use the man pages. [01:09] :set syntax=on [01:09] RageCraze, I generally just use nano [01:09] :set background=dark [01:09] done :P [01:09] isn't vim a text editor? [01:10] with syntax highlighting and the sort :) [01:10] shantorn: That is a whole process, not just a few commands. Google it and that should get you started. What distro are you using? [01:10] yup [01:10] shantorn: installing the nvidia driver from the ubuntu repo [01:10] ubuntu mate 16.10 [01:10] where is root's home directory in 16.10 [01:10] RageCraze: yup, cos the web is text [01:10] RageCraze: Vim is a text editor + some. Are you looking for a gui? [01:10] Bashing-om: is this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX (where sdX is the device of the drive to delete.) [01:11] im actually looking for an IDE that would highlight text and such [01:11] like dreamweaver on pc you know [01:11] on windows** [01:11] RageCraze: Try Geany, that's a good gui. [01:12] installing that now. any helpful tips/ keyboard shortcuts i should learn to easy use this OS? [01:12] !root | RonWhoCares [01:12] RonWhoCares: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:13] RageCraze: You will just have to do the research. There is more to it than can be explained. [01:14] will do thanks! i love that i just have to access the ''linux store'' to download anything, makes me feel like im using android :D [01:14] xangua: I am running a background process at startup that enables scanning on my Brother MFC-435W. The process is owned by 'root'. I am trying to figure out where the scanned files got saved [01:14] RageCraze: That the whole concept about open source. Linux is great! And has the best community for help. [01:15] ubottu: The reason I am asking is 'root' is displayed on the MFC's screen for me to choose the destination computer [01:15] yeah im really thankful for you guys, some guy helped me alot today, my installation was stuck in a black screen and i almost lost hope after hours of research but he made it work [01:15] indeed, linux is great. [01:15] RageCraze: Look up YouTube videos on Geany. That should give you a good intro. [01:16] Exterminador: I don't know what I was doing with my life before I met Linux. [01:16] in windows i've take almost 30 mins to install a Canon printer, with the installation cd.. in Xubuntu, i've plugged the printer and a few seconds the printer was installed [01:17] few seconds later* [01:17] Exterminador: What is your daily distro? Ubuntu? [01:17] Xubuntu [01:17] 16.04 LTS [01:17] i just used geany, i think im gonna settle on it, it got some great features! [01:18] Exterminador: Right! I can't stand having to configure drivers in Windows. I only use that platform for work. [01:18] i use windows 10 on my stationary because of games [01:18] !ot [01:18] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [01:18] but i use this laptop for my studies, and i do a lot of programming [01:18] Have any of you guys ever tried Linux Academy? It is a great source of knowledge. Preps you for LPCI certs. [01:19] lets take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please k00l3th4n [01:21] bazhang: No worries, I'll keep it on topic. [01:21] thanks [01:21] i'm having lots of errors on: tar czf Xubuntu.tar.gz / [01:22] guys how do i type the alpha symbol? its not working here [01:22] shit + 2 isn't doing it [01:22] RageCraze: what keyboard layout do you use? [01:23] some of them like: /sys/module/psmouse/uevent: Cannot open: Permission denied [01:23] Exterminador: ' dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M ' If ya do in terminal ' man dd ' there are instructions on obtaining a status . [01:23] i use norwegian [01:23] we use ctrl alt and 2 to type the alpha symbol [01:23] but its not working on linux thats weird [01:23] hi [01:23] Exterminador: Are you addind the flag correctly, with the -czf [01:24] any good programmer online who could help me by answering one little question over pm? [01:24] erm. not using the "-" [01:24] <_stripwear_> hi [01:24] please? [01:24] nem122: if its not ubuntu related try to ask in a programming language related channel. [01:24] RageCraze: AltGr+2? [01:24] Exterminador: You need to be root. Use sudo command* [01:25] gr? [01:25] ##programming nem122 [01:25] RageCraze: the key right of space bar [01:25] @ [01:25] ohh there it is! [01:25] its not exactly about programing, i'm sure lot of you linux guys know this stuff [01:25] but wtf why cant i use the same as i use on windows [01:25] RageCraze: no idea [01:25] RageCraze, no cursing here [01:25] hmm thats weird, but that should be ok to get used to [01:25] sorry [01:25] im new here u know [01:26] RageCraze: that is keyboard layout specific. so see what layout you use on ubuntu and which one on windows [01:26] ill try and see [01:26] RageCraze: i use the same key shortcut on Windows [01:26] <_stripwear_> Im new here too RageCraze ;) [01:27] RageCraze: No worries, we were all noobs @ some point. That's why there are moderators to help guide users. [01:27] Bashing-om: command saved for further use. thanks a lot! [01:27] yeah i know, thanks alot guys [01:27] <_stripwear_> bye people [01:28] Exterminador: I expect to be here tomorrow . let us know how it goes :) [01:28] RageCraze: You're welcome. [01:28] Bashing-om: sure. just need too find how to create a backup of windows [01:29] never done it before. and W10 is way complicated [01:29] how do i open the ''terminal'' in ubuntu? [01:29] RageCraze: ctrl+alt+t is the shortcut [01:29] RageCraze: Ctrl+Alt+T [01:29] press the superkey type terminal [01:29] RageCraze: You need to go look in your keyboard shortcuts. Most of the time it's ALT T or Shift ALT T [01:30] nice! [01:30] i got it with ctrl alt t [01:30] RageCraze: or you use the "dash". press windows button (called super key on ubuntu) and then type something [01:30] RageCraze: or Ctrl Alt T [01:30] with major keyboards with the Windows key symbol, is WinKey+T [01:30] hello, i'm having an issue where no matter what i try (installing various amount of firmware and so on) i cannot get my wifi adapter to work with ubuntu. it recognises the device but claims there's no firmware for it: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR7010 (no firmware) [01:30] Exterminador: no, that opens the trash [01:31] RageCraze: You can go mod you keyboard shortcuts if you don't like defaults. [01:31] k1l_: on my keyboard, it opens terminal [01:31] maybe it's the layout [01:31] with holding the super key you get a list of shortcuts. [01:31] Exterminador: what ubuntu desktop do you use? [01:31] sure how do i mod it? [01:31] k1l_: Xubuntu [01:32] btw im trying to install something now, and after i type the command, it asks for my password, but nothing gets typed when i press my keys, is this normal? [01:32] RageCraze: yes. its hidden [01:32] so i have to just type? [01:32] yes. type blindly. [01:32] yes, RageCraze. that's the normal beahviour. even thought you can change it to appear "*" but i dont remember how [01:33] http://pastebin.com/n93bchNS [01:33] whats wrong with this? [01:33] RageCraze: Go to system settings and then keyboard. There will be a tab for shortcuts. [01:33] copied from the terminal after i put in my password [01:33] RageCraze: try: sudo su [01:33] then type the passwd [01:34] RageCraze: do you have another program opened, that uses the package manager? [01:34] Exterminador: stio [01:34] Exterminador: stop [01:34] RageCraze: dont do that [01:34] dont do what im confused now [01:34] RageCraze: dont run Exterminador commands. read the errormessage you see in terminal: do you have another program opened that uses the ubuntu pacakge manager? [01:35] Exterminador: setting a root password is not supported and will not help that user in any way. [01:35] i dont know whats ubuntu package manager, but how do i chek? [01:35] trying to install git by typing sudo apt-get install git curl [01:35] RageCraze: do you have the updater or the software center opened? [01:35] yes the updater! [01:35] RageCraze: is it running? [01:36] RageCraze: You must have another package manager open. If you have a gui open and terminal, you will get that error. [01:36] yes i just closed the updater and the installation started! this is a great community, i hope i will become better at this and be able to help people to! [01:36] RageCraze: you can only have one program manage the software packages at a time. so the system doesnt get confused and saves wrong states of installed software [01:37] RageCraze: All it takes is time and effort :) [01:37] RageCraze: That's is how the community works. You gain knowledge and in return share that knowledge with other noobs. [01:38] k1l_: when i installed the Xubuntu, it asked to set a password. since then, i use "sudo su". so, sometimes i get confused and i've misread the pastebin. sorry for that. [01:38] yeah i know, thats my goal guys [01:38] now after i installed git, do i just use the terminal? [01:38] or does it get installed somewhere [01:38] Exterminador: sudo -i, if you want to use a root shell. [01:39] RageCraze: Yes, you can just use the terminal after installing git. [01:39] RageCraze: if you use the official packages from the repo. ist properly installed then === [ADN] is now known as _ADN_ [01:39] how do i start it? like i wanna configure git settings now, what do i do? [01:39] hmm i cant find anything called git on the pc [01:40] git is a terminal command [01:40] Use the man pages --> type in your terminal man git [01:41] k1l_: thanks for the advise. since i've started to navigate into linux world, everyone have said to type "sudo su". i appreciate all the help you give. [01:42] Exterminador: yes, not using root is part of the ubuntu security setup. other distros handle that differently. [01:43] RageCraze: Also, get familar with weechat. Here is the quick starters guide --> http://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_quickstart.en.html [01:43] I would say not using root is more of a safety net than a real security measure [01:43] ill try that thanks! [01:43] there are graphical git clients, like smartgit, git-cola, giteye, giggle, gitg, and gitkraken [01:43] holy *** it was so easy to install git on linux? i had a lot of problems with it on windows! [01:43] omg i love this and ive been using this for almost 15 min! [01:44] now, i have another stupid question. why, when i installed Xubuntu in dual boot with windows, when booting the laptop, it appears 4 options on the screen to boot. why those 4? why not just *buntu & windows? [01:44] RageCraze: that is the advantage of having that huge official package repos. [01:44] yeah! its really good im loving this already! [01:44] and i love that i can use chrome here, only thing missing is google drive [01:44] it sees the windows recovery partition separately from windows [01:44] but i can use on web [01:45] Exterminador: for debugging reasons there are older kernels and a recovery entry. and a memtest for the ram [01:45] you can use google drive through the browser [01:46] k1l_: but is it possible to install it without the recovery and memtest entries? or not really? [01:46] RageCraze: I started a private buffer with you. Check your buffers. [01:46] Exterminador: you can make grub not displaying those other options [01:46] its ironic that google has neglected making a google drive client when most of their workers' desktops are linux desktops [01:47] hum. grub customizer will do the job? [01:47] Exterminador: or you look at the scripts yourself. [01:48] whats buffer i dont know how [01:48] that's an idea. another thing. each user account can have is own env language? [01:49] i mean, i like to work with it in EN. but my wife dont understand anything of EN [01:49] RageCraze: Type these commands one @ a time in --> /mouse enable and then /script install buffers.pl [01:50] so, she can setup PT to her displaying lang? [01:51] RageCraze: buffers.pl will give you a side view of your buffers. [01:51] nedstark: RageCraze haven't tested it myself www.webupd8.org/2016/03/use-gnome-318-google-drive-integration.html?m=1 [01:51] ohhh ill try that now! [01:51] buffers.pl? where do i type that [01:52] is there a way to hide the side bar when using full screen on an application? [01:53] RageCraze: close this buffer with /close and then in the weechat buffer type those commands. Then you can rejoin this channel. [01:53] xangua, thanks [01:53] RageCraze: I'm not sure if you can hide it or not. Never tried... [01:56] hmmm [02:19] how do I disable x from starting? [02:20] in lubuntu [02:20] essentially, I want to have a DE, but not use it unless i use startx command [02:23] start in runlevel 3 [02:24] will that effect anything other than stopping X from init'ing? [02:24] it will boot to a console [02:24] networking and the rest will work [02:25] wireless might be a little harder to get going but ethernet should work fine [02:25] hello [02:25] how is everyone [02:29] guys!! i restarted my computer and now it won't connect to the internet, what's wrong?

I used the little remote desktop configuration applet and then I tried to connect. first i tried remotely after configuring port forwarding on my router. then I tried from another machine on my lan with the tightvnc client. [03:53] thedanyes: ps aux | grep vino [03:53] Ben64: I tried starting the vino-server from a terminal to try to see the output and what might be wrong, but it doesn't even register incoming connection attempts. [03:54] Ben64: it does show up in netstat -ap4n as listening on 5900 though [03:54] what does netstat say exactly [03:55] tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4070/vino-server [03:55] looks like it works [03:56] when i try to connect from tightvnc client on my local machine, it says the remote machine is not responding, or something like that [03:56] try using nmap on your local ip [03:56] rather, from my *other* machine, not from the same PC... [03:57] 5900/tcp open vnc [03:58] it works [03:58] yeah? well I don't know what else would be the problem then... [03:58] I can ping this PC from my other PC... [03:58] either network or user problem [03:59] try nmap from other pc [03:59] I just tried PuTTY from the other PC, raw connection on port 5900 [03:59] timed out [03:59] why putty [03:59] it's Windows. [04:00] still doesn't make sense [04:00] no? I tried TightVNC client and that didn't work [04:00] try nmap [04:00] hi [04:03] nmap requires winpcap and a bunch of bullshit [04:04] use tcpdump on the linux machine to see what it is getting on the network [04:05] like tcpdump -i eth0 "host " [04:06] okay figured it out. i had ufw running [04:06] thanks everyone :) === mike_ is now known as Guest96351 [04:16] hello [04:16] anyone there [04:17] Guest96351, ask your question [04:18] my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself [04:19] and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install [04:21] help [04:22] help [04:22] Guest96351: what is "it" === g2 is now known as trump [04:22] my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself === trump is now known as trump1 [04:23] and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install [04:25] @snkcld my ubuntu software is not working. when i open it it dosnt show any details and after like 2 sec it closes itself and when i install a 3rd party software it closes instanly when i click install [04:28] no idea what you mean by "it" === trump1 is now known as trumpinanus [04:28] i do NOT use windows but i bought a wincleaner usb drive for just 1 dollar in the hope that i would be able to use it as a usb flash drive under GNU/Linux. is it possible?

[06:23] but for a specific package [06:24] I donno why but on it's not showing installed packages here on xenial x64 [06:24] apt-get install -s will simulate the operation. capture the output of identified packages and put that in your apt-get download [06:25] ok thanks [06:25] also read the !offline suggestions [06:38] I have two versions of go installed. one at /usr/bin/go and another at /usr/local/go. the one at /usr/local/go was installed manually from the website. i want it to be the default and only version. [06:39] $which go gives the other (/usr/bin/go). i'd like to remove that one (it's an older version). [06:40] apt doesn't think its installed [06:43] should i just delete the folder /usr/bin/go ? [06:44] i wouldn't because the menu launcher would still point to that one [06:45] jnewt: you should install things properly [06:48] Ben64: I reviewed the install instructions after finding the issue. I believe I have followed them properly and ended up with the install at /usr/local/go as expected. i had previously installed with apt (which resulted in usr/bin/go I think). I am not convnced I have done something improperly yet. [06:49] ObrienDave, what would you suggest?

[07:22] something other than vlxc pulled them in and now its gone [07:22] ^^^^ this ^^^^ [07:22] why auto install packages you no longer need? strange how ubuntu works [07:23] priporg, no that's the point; he actually did something to trigger their installation [07:23] priporg: package a was installed and it auto installed them as dependencies, package a got removed [07:23] cfhowlett: apt install -s vlc [07:24] it was about downloading vlc and its all dependencies if you remember [07:24] what I wanted is installing the whole thing offline [07:25] UbuntuDude, I just ran apt install --reinstall -s vlc http://paste.ubuntu.com/23726431/ [07:25] so if the libraries are automatically installed and no longer required (WHY the heck is telling me that?) [07:25] vlc is the package that was installed with a bunch of dependencies (auto installed and no longer required). Weird. [07:26] well, that is a biased operating system then [07:27] UbuntuDude: it is telling you that so you can remove them (with 'apt autoremove') [07:28] UbuntuDude, It will always auto install dependencies whether you need it or not. you can remove dependencies that are no longer required, but you still run the risk it may not work. [07:29] what would cause dpkg to segfault while reading *.list files? [07:30] UbuntuDude, I always leave dependencies alone; never remove them, just in case.

[07:53] Put the terminal in fullscreen [07:53] and try to acces with your mouse to the options in the bar [07:53] msettah, login under a different sudoer account and fix the .profile? [07:54] msettah, bettter yet, login as root and delete the current .profile then reset it properly [07:54] Hi when I use swap file instead of hibernating my system simply locks. There is no hibernation done. What can I do? [07:55] cfhowlett, how you login as root? [07:55] how do I do that delete .profile and login as root is terminal isn't accepting input [07:55] msettah, FIRST login as root THEN delete the profile. upon reboot it will reset to factory settings === anon is now known as Guest27380 [07:56] cfhowlett, he wants to know how to login as root without a terminal. I'm curious too. [07:56] but I thought I needed a terminal to login as root, how do you do that other wise cfhowlett [07:56] msettah, yes you can. reboot, bring up grub [07:56] !recover | msettah [07:56] msettah: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery [07:57] !root [07:57] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [07:57] ignore the !recover option [07:59] just for clarity grup accepts input the same way as when you're in a termainal? if I go to grub I'll use the same commands as I would in a terminal [08:01] ^*grub [08:01] anyone there?

Most of the variable names should be lowercased. 2. Make sure you test if cd succeeds before carrying on. 3. Quote expansions to avoid wordsplitting and pathname expansion. 4.

The first problem is that I need to add the 9 extra IPs to my server. And i think i need to configure my server to use static IPs.

I have a folder full of .mp4 files and each file ends with its resolution 1080p or 720p, which I would like to sort into folders corresponding to that size. I have tried grep but mv takes two arguments... [16:05] mmalakchi: mm it's supposed to be 4.12-2 [16:05] mmalakchi: try apt-cache policy i3 [16:08] akik: ok so I think I have pin pointed the problem.. when I startx, everything runs fine.. but when I start with xterm, thats when the system crashes.. [16:09] EriC^^: I don't know what "mm" means, result of command execution, here: http://pastebin.com/SLAgPsM3 [16:09] What I cant figure out is why?

[16:47] mmalakchi: ok, those are all the packages installed from the ppa [16:48] mmalakchi: let's try to remove those, hopefully the whole de doesn't break [16:48] ducasse: not a solution, as i need to be able to see new messages when i get back.. if i terminate it i will never get to read them many of which might be important [16:48] mmalakchi: try remove the ppa, sudo sed -i 's/deb/#deb/' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sur5r.list [16:49] sruli: then use a proper client like weechat or irssi that you can run in tmux or screen :) [16:50] sruli: yeah it can be done, you need to parse the first line in every log, grab the date, convert it to epoch, then start at the end of the main file and look for same line with date, grab it, and if it's before the date then add contents of file, if not keep going backwards [16:50] EriC^^: The command return nothing [16:51] mmalakchi: ok, type sudo apt-get update [16:51] mmalakchi: what is the actual problem with that ppa? i use it myself, maybe i can help.

[17:19] EriC^^: Thank you very much! [17:19] sruli: you mean based on the file attributes date? [17:19] mmalakchi: no problem! :) [17:20] EriC^^: Last few questions.

[17:21] mmalakchi: yes the i3 stuff should be from the main repository [17:22] ioria: the days doesn't matter we only care about the first line [17:22] EriC^^: ioria:here is the filename and some content https://paste.fedoraproject.org/518670/77732148/ [17:22] the different day is going to be the next one anyways, right sruli ? [17:23] EriC^^: Great! could you please tell how to check that I'm now connected to default repository? [17:23] EriC^^: what i am saying is that i found some log files do continue logging the next day in previous days file [17:23] mmalakchi: for i3 packages? [17:23] mmalakchi: 'apt update' lists all repos it connects to. [17:24] EriC^^: so if my log start at 01:00:00 and continues to next day 01:01:00 its gonna be a problem [17:24] sruli: why?

[17:25] sruli: we won't need to, we'll take it as a whole [17:26] log has day 4 and day 5, we'll cram it in the main log between day3 and daywhatever [17:26] and in the end it should end up as day1 day2 day3 day4 etc [17:27] [19:24] The time in my desktop 19:24 is different from the time from the 'date' command [19:24] the correct time is the one in desktop [19:24] how do i make the clocks be the same?

[17:45] pwn: try sudo hwclock --set --date="2017-01-02 17:45:00" [17:45] sruli: i will write it in the pastebin as pseudo-code [17:48] EriC^^: hold on, found a plugin that is suppposed to add dat to timestamp.. restarting app to see if it works 1 min [17:49] EriC^^: ioria: result! i now have this for timestamp (2017-01-02 17:48:27) [17:50] sruli, you can sort the files by dates and tail -n 100000000 * >>output :þ [17:50] ioria: how do i tail multiple files at once? [17:51] hello [17:51] sruli, tail -n 100000000 file1 file2 file3 >> output [17:51] sruli, in the correct order [17:52] ioria: as the date timestamps only started now, will have to wait a few days before i can try it. [17:53] ioria: it won't put them in the main file though [17:53] there might be places where mainfile has day1 day2, and log is day3, then main has day4 and day5, then another log is day6 etc :/ [17:54] EriC^^, i'll maintain an alternative one, in any case [17:55] alright [17:55] sruli: so we'll do it another time then? [17:55] EriC^^, maybe the loggin format would change with some updates [17:56] EriC^^: ioria: yes we'll have to wait a few days to get enough logs to be able to play with, however if we have full timestamps wont it be easier to convert to epoch > sort into 1 file > convert back? [17:57] brb, sy [17:58] sruli: yeah that would be way easier [18:03] so i have an backup.img file im trying to mount under ubuntu 16.04 .. when it mounts it is ro ... how would i make this rw ... it is a copy of a VM i was running a while back [18:04] I'm trying to have my synclient settings for my touchpad persist between suspend/resume (ubuntu 16.10); nothing seems to be working.

[18:43] ikonia how do i do that my friend im a noob [18:43] Dreaman: you're not making much sense when you are talking [18:43] ah [18:43] merci [18:44] RageCraze: if you type "lsmod | grep rt" what do you get [18:44] hold on [18:44] ikonia: old 32 bit linux is base this [18:44] Dreaman: no it's not [18:44] Dreaman: i386 support was removed a long time ago [18:45] http://pastebin.com/fhpR8ViH ikonia this is for ismod [18:45] real [18:45] RageCraze: thats the wrong url [18:46] talk this to my old pc 15 years old and debian [18:46] wht should i type? lsmod or ismod?

[19:20] intal latest ubuntu see in uodates driver options [19:20] R7M440: I'm a bit late to the convo, but I run an AMD graphics card. What was your question? [19:20] my laptop work driver but is 940 nvidia [19:21] CodeMouse92 hey, no problem. I'm having trouble to install the drivers for the M440 on my 16.04.1 LTS [19:21] R7M440: AMD M440? (I'm not familiar with all the model numbers) === genewitc1 is now known as genewitch [19:22] CodeMouse92 AMD R7 M440 [19:22] R7M440: I don't think you should have to leave the LTS (16.04) for this... [19:22] upgreat to 16.10 [19:22] R7M440: Okay, before I say anything else, open up About This Computer (on the power menu) [19:23] What does it say under Graphics? [19:23] Hola [19:24] CodeMouse92 done [19:24] R7M440: What does it say? [19:24] Under Graphics? [19:25] CodeMouse92 Intel Kabylake GT2, and i got a dedicated AMD R7 M440 installed [19:25] CodeMouse92 The AMD doesn't appear there though [19:26] R7M440: Huh, okay, that doesn't sound like it's using the right driver for AMD even [19:26] R7M440: There are a couple of directions you could go with for this, but I do NOT recommend upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 for either path.... [19:26] R7M440: One, you could install the open source driver. It isn't perfect, but it's FOSS [19:26] R7M440 in a terminal, type lspci | grep -i audio [19:27] R7M440: The other path would be to install the official AMD drivers for that card, which officially support 16.04: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx [19:28] Compat info: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver–Release-Notes.aspx [19:28] CodeMouse92 The second thing was what i did, didn't work [19:28] R7M440: Hm, okay. When you say 'didn't work', what exactly happened? [19:29] CodeMouse92 It seemed like it installed correctly, and asked for restart. But when logging in back, it froze, and i didn't have display [19:30] CodeMouse92 I tried everything and ended up with a black screen, and a useless ubuntu [19:30] R7M440: So, it's unbootable atm? [19:31] CodeMouse92 What? [19:31] R7M440: You said you wound up with a useless ubuntu. Is it presently unusable? [19:31] Or did you already uninstall the driver? [19:31] CodeMouse92 Yeah, i got to reinstall it [19:32] CodeMouse92 I gotta* [19:32] R7M440: Okay, before you reinstall Ubuntu, let's see if we can't get the driver off [19:32] R7M440: They packed an uninstall script into it, so if we can get to the root recovery terminal, we should be able to run that [19:32] ducasse, thanks you for that info.. that got it going [19:33] CodeMouse92 I cannot access any terminal [19:33] CodeMouse92 not anymore [19:33] R7M440: Well, you actually can. When you turn it on and reach GRUB (it should get that far)... [19:33] R7M440: go to Advanced [19:33] R7M440 ctrl-alt-f1 [19:33] freefall: no problem, enjoy :) [19:34] CodeMouse92 yeah, i was having that in mind when i said i cannot haha [19:34] R7M440: Wait, GRUB isn't even coming up? [19:35] CodeMouse92 no, it freezes and i have to force the shutdown of the computer [19:35] The graphics driver shouldn't have an effect on that...the kernel isn't even loaded yet, much less any drivers [19:36] So, the AMD thing must have screwed up a whole lot more than just the driver [19:36] R7M440: At what point does it crash? Right after POST? [19:36] CodeMouse92 I told you i tried everything.... must have touch something without knowing.. [19:37] R7M440: Okay, let me check something. Just a sc [19:37] *se [19:37] **sec [19:37] is there a 32 bit efi ubuntu image? [19:37] LiENUS: yes [19:37] grub-efi-ia32 [19:37] EriC^^, is it on the livedisk for i386? [19:37] LiENUS: wait you said image? i dont think so [19:37] not sure [19:38] CodeMouse92 I think it'll be faster to begin from 0 [19:38] R7M440: Yeah, go ahead and go for a complete reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04. I still would recommended sticking with that, and NOT upgrading [19:38] LiENUS: are you trying to install on some hybrid tablet/pc kind of device? [19:38] EriC^^, trying to liveusb boot on one and get data off a dying one [19:38] CodeMouse92 Ok, i'll install the same one [19:38] Unless you literally need Kernel 4.8 or something else in the 16.10 changelog (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes) [19:38] CodeMouse92 Brb [19:39] (Reason for that advice, if you don't need to incur the instability of a non-LTS for some feature, don't bother) [19:39] someone decided running backups was unimportant [19:39] CodeMouse92: if he does, that will be available for 16.04 in ~2 weeks [19:40] LiENUS: http://askubuntu.com/questions/392719/32-bit-uefi-boot-support [19:40] ducasse: Good to know! I had a feeling it'd show up for the LTS eventually. [19:40] LiENUS: looks like you're going to have to download the 32bit efi file and copy it to the live usb manually, doesn't seem too bad [19:40] I had so many problems jumping between the non-LTS versions on the last iteration, I decided to stay put this time until there was a showstopper feature I wanted. [19:40] CodeMouse92: you can actually (will in late January)install yaketty kernel and xorg [19:41] EriC^^, it looks like he used an amd64 image of ubuntu though? what? [19:41] xangua: Ah, Xorg's getting updated on LTS too? Nice. [19:41] CodeMouse92: yes, it's part of the hwe stack [19:41] Makes sense. They don't call it "long term support" for nothing [19:42] aaand since my liveusb is read only for some reason [19:43] LiENUS: check the 2nd answer [19:43] LiENUS: err, 1st answer [19:44] LiENUS: you're going to have to make the live usb a different way [19:44] EriC^^, seems mkusb buggered my flash drive somehow [19:44] LiENUS: nah [19:45] gnome disk manager wont let me delete the partitions [19:45] LiENUS: do you plan to use it all for the live usb? [19:45] nothing else important on it? [19:45] at this point nope [19:45] LiENUS: did you try to delete them with fdisk? [19:46] LiENUS: try sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=4M count=1 [19:46] LiENUS: use "lsblk" to get its name [19:49] got em to delete with fdisk [19:51] LiENUS: make a gpt partition table [19:52] using gdisk /dev/sdX then o then w [19:53] hello [19:53] I'm not sure of any good channels to join? [19:54] hello [19:54] WeeceyWoo: what topic are you interested in?

[20:17] well, i've finally started the dd command. i've done: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M status=progress. now, is just wait that it finishes, right? it's coping at 79.1MB/s. not a bad speed huh? [20:17] still want to actual resolution to be 640x480, just scaled so it is maximised === HedgeHog is now known as H3dgeH0g [20:17] */dev/sda [20:20] Exterminador: Whehhhh .. glad ya caught that oversight of mine . One can get a status of dd in anothr terminal . === _dv_ is now known as dv_ [20:21] just one question. on the progress appears: 798.001 s on the output. that's the number of seconds since i've started dd cmd? [20:22] Exterminador: Honestly, I do not remember . [20:22] Bashing-om: i've readed the man dd, to see if i can see the progress. and i found that i should append status=progress to the command. xD [20:22] Exterminador, sudo kill -USR1 $(pgrep ^dd) [20:23] ioria: that prints the time since i've started the dd? [20:23] ioria: :) to the rescue ! [20:23] lol [20:23] Exterminador, nope, percentage [20:24] Exterminador, wait, also the secs [20:25] hy guys from 2 days i have some microlag/freeze with mouse pointer and on games like cs go i have always microfreeze like the mouse. i got the same problem on ubuntu (16.04 and 16.10) and arch linux with different de, my gpu is a gtx 950 with propietary drivers (nvidia-367) [20:25] erm. no command 'pgrep' found [20:26] i'm doind the dd from the usb.. (should be like this, right?) [20:26] Exterminador, you can always use the date command before executing or use time command to run the command and record the time, doesn't give you time while it's running though just total time [20:26] guys reply me pls [20:27] !info procps | Exterminador [20:27] Exterminador: procps (source: procps): /proc file system utilities. In component main, is required. Version 2:3.3.12-1ubuntu2 (yakkety), package size 219 kB, installed size 669 kB [20:27] Exterminador, are you sure ? [20:28] H3dgeH0g, is the animation and all freezing up or just the mouse interaction? [20:28] just the mouse interaction [20:28] well, with all the options i've used on dd command, the output is: xxxxxxx bytes (x Gb, X GiB) copied, X s, X MB/s [20:28] when i write all is fluid [20:28] ioria: if i'm sure that i've executed the command from the live usb? [20:29] Exterminador, nope, pgrep not found [20:29] wafflejock: just the mouse interaction [20:29] Exterminador, ls /usr/bin/pgrep [20:30] H3dgeH0g, not sure could try some other hardware maybe to try and narrow it down do you have another USB mouse available to try or can try another USB port, haven't seen that kind of behavior myself, I had a GTX670 and now a 1060 but didn't try the latter with Ubuntu yet, since it's just the mouse I wouldn't suspect the GPU or drivers though [20:30] wafflejock: i already tried with an other mouse [20:30] the same problem [20:31] i try another port usb now [20:31] btw i never got this problem before now [20:31] ioria: my bad! :x i've typed pgreg instead pgrep [20:31] :x [20:31] lol [20:32] ioria: even thought. dd with the status=progress shows the seconds while working [20:33] Exterminador, yeah, it's a new feature [20:34] 1580s to do 121Gb (26mins) [20:34] to do the 500Gb of the disk will take more than 1h. Bashing-om warned me about that [20:34] lol [20:35] next time, i'll increase the bs.. lol [20:35] Exterminador, me took the whole afternoon :þ [20:36] I have a question [20:36] I want to install ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6 [20:36] dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress -> note that down when someone needs to zero out a drive. :) [20:37] how do I stop the annoying require password when using sudo [20:37] But when i do apt-get install ntp, it installs ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.10 [20:37] ioria: i have a Dual Core T4300 @ 2.10Ghz (1.20Mhz) [20:37] Exterminador, in this case very good ... hard drive ? [20:37] apt-cache policy ntp shows like this [20:38] https://paste.ubuntu.com/23729692/ [20:38] TCPKeepAlive yes, ClientAliveInterval 30, ClientAliveCountMax 9999 [20:38] ioria: note sure. i guess it's a WD disk [20:38] if i'm using kubuntu and having a bad problem, would that problem have a chance of going away if i get ubuntu [20:38] why do i have to provide sudo password constantly still? [20:39] How can I install particular version of a package, Which source.list entry should i add ? [20:39] how do i check what disk i have? [20:39] saju_m, are you on trusty ? [20:39] yes [20:40] saju_m, it's ok, then [20:40] ic2000: or you could describe your actual problem instead of making it an XY problem [20:40] xangua: wifi adapter just isn't working. i reinstalled kubuntu and it worked until i unplugged it [20:41] ioria, sorry, i didn't get [20:41] Exterminador, sudo lshw -C disk [20:41] saju_m, it's the correct version [20:41] Exterminador: ' sudo lshw -C Disk -short ' ? [20:41] xangua: i've tried everything, nothing will work it makes no sense whatsoever [20:41] especially since it was working for a whole day today until i take it out [20:42] ic2000: no idea, I don't use Wi-Fi adapter [20:42] saju_m, if you ask me, don't install not supported version (btw, you can force it) [20:42] ioria, i want to add an entry in source.list which contains only ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6 [20:42] ioria: like i've said. product: WDC WD5000BEVT-2; vendor: Western Digital [20:42] note the ending part ubuntu2.14.04.6 [20:42] seems to be a good hdd [20:43] i don't want ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.10 [20:43] 35mins to fo 162Gb. xD [20:43] *do [20:43] more specific, I need this particular ntp package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6 [20:44] Exterminador: Fast little processor :) [20:44] but right now, trusty repo contains updated ntp package ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.10 [20:44] yes [20:45] saju_m, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp [20:45] ioria, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ntp/ [20:45] saju_m, seems to be vivid [20:46] ntp 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6 is not there in above repo [20:46] !info ntp vivid [20:46] ntp (source: ntp): Network Time Protocol daemon and utility programs. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu6.3 (vivid), package size 420 kB, installed size 1496 kB [20:46] Bashing-om: seems so. and this laptop is already 7y old. Acer Aspire 5738ZG.. Intel Pentium processor T4300 (2.1Ghz, 800Mhz FSB), 4Gb RAM.. :) [20:47] saju_m, 6.3 in the vivid repo , but advice against it [20:47] it's DDR3 already the RAM (if that makes any difference) [20:47] but in launchpad https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6 [20:48] its mentioned that uploaded to Trusty [20:48] saju_m, yes, but you need to compile it. i guess [20:48] ioria, ok [20:49] anyway we can install packages in the live usb? [20:49] :x [20:50] Exterminador: ya [20:50] saju_m, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu6 [20:51] Exterminador: Yeah, but unless you built the USB with persistence enabled, will not live over a reboot . [20:51] ioria, my requirement is this [20:51] make an live usb with persistance [20:52] i want to upgrade ntp to 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-3ubuntu2.14.04.6, to get some security fixes [20:52] saju_m, try to compile the tar.gz but not sure it'll work [20:52] extract it [20:53] hello [20:54] i want to create a usb installer via dd. should i unmount the usb stick before? [20:54] ioria, what is the better way. use the package in the trusty-updates ? https://paste.ubuntu.com/23729692/ [20:54] saju_m, the better is to use your rpo version, i think [20:54] edmund, yes [20:54] *repo [20:55] ioria, ok, thanks [20:55] saju_m, no prob, good luck [20:56] tinfoil_hat: so: 1. lsblk to identify the usb stick 2. unmount the usb stick 3. using dd [20:56] that's all? [21:01] Hey everyone, I am quite puzzled. I am trying to install ubuntu server 16.04.1 on my desktop, and later install a DE. I am trying to set up software raid with MDADM, and ive come to a point where i need to use fdisk, but when i use CTRL-ALT-F2 to access busybox shell, it says fdisk doesn't exist, nor can I install it via apt (doesn't exist either). how can i use fdisk in this situation? [21:02] having some problems with a disk in my btrfs array. I have 4 disks in raid10, where /dev/sde is showing 100% busy and reads from it are causing 100% iowaits on the reading core. I started a scrub which is taking a long time, and my kern.log has a lot of: "blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector " in it. === shambat_ is now known as shambat [21:08] 60,5 mins to do 260Gb. i'm almost there! xD [21:08] shambat is that a server? if yes, there's also #ubuntu-server [21:08] craysiii: fumm .. "fdisk" is in a standard install by defualt . what results ' sudo fdisk -lu ' ? [21:09] well Bashing-om, i will get a "sudo: not found" error [21:09] this is during installation, so there is no actual install yet [21:10] i am just accessing busybox during the installation via CTRL-ALT-F2 [21:10] MonkeyDust: ok thanks. there's also a #btrfs I realized :) [21:10] i am trying to follow this guide : http://askubuntu.com/questions/505446/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-with-raid-1-using-desktop-installer [21:10] which i know has worked for me during ubuntu desktop installation [21:11] my attempts to install the soft raid using the built in menus for mdadm failed [21:13] craysiii: Do not know as 'fdisk' is available in my fresh install of 16.04 and the tool is not a "package" one can download and install . [21:14] Bashing-om: not a good idea run smartctl while zero out the drive, right? [21:16] thanks anyway Bashing-om [21:16] Exterminador: Concur, not a good idea . [21:17] Bashing-om: i can run the smartctl right after zero out the drive? or i need to reboot or something? [21:18] Exterminador: I would expect it to be just fine to run the smart test as soon as the drive is zero'd out . [21:18] Bashing-om: you'll be around for how long? [21:19] i've done 303Gb in 72 mins [21:19] 200 Gb +/- remaining [21:20] Exterminador: I got to be away for a spell in about 20 minutes . but I will leave my client active and be back soonest . [21:21] Bashing-om: i'll paste the output of smartctl into the ubuntu pastebin as soon as the drive is zero'd out [21:21] then you can take a look [21:23] Exterminador: K .. but there are others better qualified to interpret the SMART result :) [21:23] hola [21:24] i'll post it and everyone can take a look. :) [21:24] i'm open to all opinions. xD [21:26] hello [21:26] what is a loop device ? [21:27] ./dev/loop0 [21:27] CodeMouse92 Ok, It's installed, what now? [21:27] R7M440: Welcome back. :) [21:27] ubuntu-core_423.snap ? [21:27] CodeMouse92 thank you [21:27] R7M440: Okay, open up About This Computer again, and post what's under "Graphics" [21:28] so my other laptop would not boot. there was something wrong with the os(linux) so i made an .img of the entire hard drive and formatted it. now is there any way to mount the .img file i made of the hard drive to attempt any kind of data rescue? [21:28] CodeMouse92 Intel Kabylake GT2 [21:29] R7M440: Riiiiight. Okay, hm. What's your AMD graphic card model again? [21:29] R7 M440, my name haha [21:29] Oh, handy [21:30] Okay, your card isn't listed on the open source Radeon driver: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [21:30] =( [21:31] So....was the prior install fresh as well? [21:31] yes [21:31] Okay, hm. Let me check something [21:32] R7M440: The official recommendation is indeed to use the new AMD driver you tried earlier... [21:33] R7M440: When you did that, however, did you follow the steps about adding the user to the video group before restarting? [21:33] . [21:34] CodeMouse92 I think so... I used the command groups and my login name was listed... I didn't do the following instruction as I didn't see it necessary.. [21:35] R7M440: Ahhhhh. Well, if you run 'groups', yes, you'll see your name. But the problem is, your account isn't a member of the 'video' group by default [21:35] Which is why they had the instruction after it [21:35] Oh, so maybe that was THE problem [21:36] R7M440: Worth a shot. Worst case, you reinstall and start over. :P [21:36] CodeMouse92 Please no! haha [21:37] CodeMouse92 I'll try [21:37] brbr [21:37] R7M440: It looks like, either you get this working, or you work with the current drivers. I don't think there are alternatives ATM ._. [21:37] CodeMouse92 Well, hope it works then [21:38] well sadly ubuntu failed me :( but i did discover clonezilla has efi 32 support so a disk image will do what i need [21:38] CodeMouse92 brb [21:39] not much of a failing on ubuntus part though i am wanting to do something stupid === guyz is now known as daynaskully [21:42] LiENUS: are you trying to run it on a bay trail thing? [21:46] blami, probably [21:47] its an acer switch 10 [21:47] i like the hardware tbh, just like all laptops i've bought lately its been horribly unreliable [21:47] i've had a lot of hardware failures right at 2 years accross the board on my laptops [21:47] yeah i believe it is bay trial [21:47] trail* [21:49] though I didn't realize the hd was soldered to the motherboard, if i had realized that i would probably have bought a different machine for this use [21:49] LiENUS: there are prepared isos for those which have uefi ia32 version of grub and also some kernel patches ubuntu hasn't (yet) [21:50] LiENUS: i'll pm you [21:50] blami, clonezilla is working for it for now, i'll be able to use it it looks like [21:50] i just need to pull data off a dying machine [21:50] LiENUS: aha [21:50] its got our timeclock data on it and payroll is today [21:50] and the person who does payroll stopped doing backups [21:50] ? [21:51] nm [21:51] LiENUS: oops [21:52] LiENUS: i am running ubuntu on one of these. There's plethora of problems but it has only 2G of RAM so ubuntu with lxde is way faster than w10 there [21:53] blami, my only real complaint specific to it is the stupid soldered on disk, the reliability is an issue i've had accross the board lately no idea wtf is going on but manufacturers have been putting out crap the past two years [21:54] then again i havent tried to run linux on it till now [21:54] LiENUS: yes, it's onboard sd card basically [21:56] LiENUS: but hey those are around $300 so I wouldn't expect any better ... I am using syncthing to keep important stuff sync'd with my nas [21:56] LiENUS: as it may die any time [21:56] well, dd is almost finished.. this is making me nervous! [21:56] blami, yeah she was supposed to be doing that [21:58] HELLO FRIENDS [21:59] looks like its the disk dying in it, so yeah i need clonezilla anyway it has a rescue mode [21:59] anyone know why when i shrink a partition in gparted it adds 2gibs of unallocated to the front of the disk? [21:59] CodeMouse92 Ok, it's installed, how do i add my user to the group? [22:00] R7M440: What's your username? [22:00] LiENUS: in my previous company they failed our drives randomly over "remote control" software in probation period to see if we are doing backups properly [22:00] LiENUS: that was best lesson I've got about doing backups :D ... losing week worth of coding and IT guy haha [22:01] R7M440: Actually, just substitute it into this command (where I have yourusername)......$ sudo usermod -a -G video yourusername [22:01] kittykitty: it may be weird partition schema where partition numbers aren't assigned in disk order [22:02] blami, literally just a single ntfs partition on the disk and i shrank it by 25gib [22:02] kittykitty: that's weird [22:02] ikr blami [22:03] CodeMouse92 Ok, done. How do i check it's done? [22:03] blami, made me move the entire disk to the right for it too [22:03] CodeMouse92 If i use groups should ''video'' be there? [22:03] R7M440: Yes [22:03] CodeMouse92 well, it isn't.. [22:03] Aih [22:05] ....looking something up [22:05] ok [22:07] R7M440: This driver is rather unfamiliar to me, so I'm leveraging some serious Google-Fu.... [22:07] Anyway, the release notes mention Vulkan as part of the driver stack, and that it has to be installed separately [22:07] Since you got *this* far last time and it didn't work, it might be worth installing this part as well [22:07] http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Install-LunarG-Vulkan-SDK.aspx [22:08] The step adding yourself to the video group relates to that, which may be why the group isn't showing up [22:08] ok, let's see [22:08] brb [22:19] CodeMouse92 Still nothing === jottr_ is now known as jottr [22:27] R7M440: Okay, then I regret to repost something from AMD's "known limitations" [22:27] R7M440: "Unable to log in to the system after driver installation on certain platforms." [22:28] R7M440: Wait...you're saying "still nothing" in regards to it still not working>? [22:28] Or in regards to it not showing up on "groups"? [22:30] well guys, if anyone can take a look at this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23730196/ [22:30] Bashing-om: ^ [22:31] CodeMouse92 Still not showing i'm in the group. I logged out since i read you have to do it to see the changes. Guess what: IT CRASHED [22:31] R7M440: Grah [22:32] R7M440: Okay, so yeah, this is one of those "platforms" that AMD hasn't gotten it working on yet [22:32] CodeMouse92 So no hope for me then.. [22:33] i'll be around. when someone check my link, please highlight me. thanks in advance [22:33] R7M440: Not yet. I think you're going to have to work on the default driver until either the open source Radeon driver starts working, or AMD fixes the bug [22:34] R7M440: You could contact their support, although I don't know anything about how helpful it is [22:34] CodeMouse92 Ok.. Well thank you very much for your help [22:34] R7M440: No prob. yeah, if you're under warrenty, get in touch w/ them and see what options you have [22:34] http://www.amd.com/en-us/who-we-are/contact === jstein_ is now known as jstein [22:35] R7M440: Actually, better link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/contact [22:36] CodeMouse92 Ok, thanks! :) [22:37] CodeMouse92 Btw, what's your card model? [22:37] R7M440: I have it written down somewhere. Hold on [22:38] AMD Radeon HD 6520G [22:38] R7M440: ^^^^^ I'm running the open-source Radeon driver for it. Works pretty well. [22:41] CodeMouse92 Ok, thank you for everything === Phanes is now known as alt-phanes === alt-phanes is now known as Phanes [22:43] R7M440: No problem. Best wishes! [22:44] CodeMouse92 ;) [22:51] minitube for ubuntu going too fast.How do I slow it down? [22:54] Exterminador: Back, lemme catch up and I get back at ya . [22:55] Bashing-om: no problem..at least, Current_Pending_Sector >> 0 [22:57] i'm reinstalling the OSes. i'll keep this as it is and save for a SSD [22:59] Bashing-om: i'll be kinda away, because of reinstalling stuff. anything, just highlight me [23:00] Hey Guys, the recognition of the ethernet interfaces should happen during boot before starting x, right? [23:00] I have the issue that Kubuntu Yakkety as my Qemu Guest suddenly stops recognizing the virtual network card although it is listed in lspci [23:04] Exterminador: The smart tst looks like the drive is doable ............Now no errors. BUT -- do keep most excellent backup of you data ! I would not place full faith in that drive . [23:06] Having issues attempting to run the flask development server on startup with 16.04. I want the *easiest* thing I can use to run two commands; and export for an ENV_VAR ... and a $ flask run [23:06] is supervisorclt the best thing to use here? [23:07] Bashing-om: i'll do thar [23:07] *that [23:07] Exterminador: Re-install time and see what now happens :) [23:08] sure.after all reinstall, i'll run smartctl once again [23:09] su [23:09] sup [23:12] Bashing-om: once again, thank you for all the help, and to all those that have helped me since i'm in this channel. :) [23:13] Exterminador: Help is what we do , Hang with us and you too will be helping . [23:14] if i ever understand well how linux works, that's for sure [23:15] Exterminador: I assure you, all it takes is time and effort . All else is provided - all the tools ! [23:16] well, now i must find how to partition well the hard disk, to install more than 2 OSes. lol [23:17] any1 here do zfs on root on ubuntu? === JanC_ is now known as JanC [23:18] Tugger: the zfs-on-linux project got a documentation about it: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Root-on-ZFS [23:19] Exterminador: Not a problem to partition for multiboot ; just takes knowing what you want :) . Look my system with 2 drives presently not connected: http://termbin.com/n2cg . [23:20] yup I have read that. Im just trying to also use LUKS, but cant manage to get grub to recognize the installation [23:20] just wondering if any1 else here has a luks zfs on root working? [23:20] Bashing-om: i'll try! xD [23:23] Tugger: sorry, i only use it for the data storage [23:32] Bashing-om: seems that i found out how to do it! xD [23:33] i still have 100Gb of spare space to install more OSes [23:33] Exterminador: Atta Boy ! No step for a stepper ! . [23:34] i've partitioned via windows disk manager. but didnt activate it. when installing Xubuntu i've choosed the unallocated space, partitioned it into a logical partition.. xD [23:35] and there we go! === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [23:37] somewhere there's a setting that is making my tooltip text in liteide white on a nearly white background. I can't find it. [23:38] Bashing-om: now i can install more linux distros without any concerns to grub? [23:39] i mean, it won't mess up anything? [23:40] nuno_nunes: o/ [23:42] Exterminador: Well, with more then 2 OS installed, you will learn grub . [23:42] Bashing-om: but, it will boot every single OS, right? [23:44] Exterminador: Not called the GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) for nothing . [23:44] :) [23:44] indeed things got a name for some reason [23:45] i've finished installing xubuntu. i'll update it and then run smartctl again [23:45] just to make sure [23:45] I am having an issue deciphering why unattended upgrades is not actually installing updates from my mirrored trusty-security repo (Aptly). I am not getting useful messages, even with debug. Anyone have experience in this area?
