[00:00] <ikonia> k1l_: is that the actual codebase for the ubuntu.com website ?
[00:01] <rewlk> \
[00:03] <k1l_> ikonia: i dont know, that is where the "report a bug on this page" links to. that github
[00:03] <ikonia> useful, thank you
[00:20] <Mr1NK> chek this out : https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/killdisk-ransomware-now-targets-linux-prevents-boot-up-has-faulty-encryption/#.WG7FDzecYlc.facebook
[00:21] <nacc> Mr1NK: this is the support channel, you probably wanted #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:22] <Mr1NK> nacc : sowwy
[00:32] <priporg> hi, does ubuntu have package to check PATA HDD health? For example, to show there are no errors on drive?
[00:32] <xangua> priporg: gnome disk utility
[00:33] <priporg> xangua, thanks, ill check it out
[00:33] <xangua> priporg: it's showed as "disks"in the launcher
[00:34] <priporg> xangua, you mean in Ubuntu Software?
[00:34] <xangua> xangua: priporg no, in the unity launcher
[00:34] <priporg> nevermind got it
[00:34] <pkzip> doesnt ubunto create a swap partition as default?
[00:35] <pkzip> ubuntu
[00:35] <xangua> pkzip: yes
[00:35] <pkzip> here it created /boot and an lvm with the other stuff only
[00:35] <xangua> Unless your did a manual install and didn't set up a swap
[00:36] <pkzip> xangua, but top shows that there is swapspace
[00:37] <pkzip> hm
[00:37] <pkzip> why not?
[00:37] <pkzip> that was default some time ago
[00:38] <priporg> xangua, is therea terminal program to scan HDD? I plan to format drive first then run test. You know if unetbootin will do all this for me?
[00:38] <LSDGiraffe> z
[00:38] <TuffMcGruff> can anyone help me, i broke my grub config becuase im an idiot. I've tried wiping and reinstalling, but the grub cfg file still has the broken code in it. Any ideas?
[00:41] <priporg> TuffMcGruff, delete it and it will make a new one on boot?
[00:44] <pkzip> xangua, top shows KiB ... swap
[00:44] <pkzip> where is that swapspace?
[00:46] <turbo64> when i use the adwaita theme in xfce, some programs look different, like hte menu bars have a blue line under the selected item
[00:46] <turbo64> is there a way to fix that
[00:51] <priporg> hi looking for a terminal program to format my drive. help please
[00:57] <donofrio> priporg, fdisk?
[00:57] <photon> I believe my ubuntu 16.04 desktop doesn't start because I'm trying to boot with a sandisk ssd. Do I need to get a driver or something?
[00:57] <priporg> donofrio, what command do i type?
[00:58] <Orxata_> Hi
[00:59] <pkzip> photon, no
[00:59] <rommel> y
[00:59] <pkzip> works here with ssd
[01:00] <rommel> y
[01:00] <photon> It isn't booting no matter what I do
[01:00] <Orxata_> I'm having troubles with my screen resolution
[01:00] <xangua> priporg: what are you trying to do? What's your end goal
[01:00] <photon> Nomodeset, reinstalling the whole os, reinstalling grub, using a different version, etc
[01:00] <pkzip> photon, has to have boot flag and chosen in bios as boot device
[01:00] <photon> Still doesn't boot
[01:01] <photon> It is a fresh install and I can tell the bios to boot it
[01:01] <photon> Of I hold shift it says that it is loading grub but just restarts immediately
[01:02] <Orxata_> when I try to install the propetary drivers of nvidia, it raises an error:
[01:02] <Orxata_> modinfo for module nvidia_340 failed: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module nvidia_340
[01:02] <wafflejock> Orxata_, are you just installing the drivers using the additional drivers app or doing it some other way?
[01:02] <Orxata_> additional drivers app
[01:03] <Orxata_> also, dpkg --get-selections | grep nvidia returns a list of several nvidia drivers
[01:04] <wafflejock> Orxata_, you could try to apt-get install --reinstall or purge then install those drivers not sure how you would end up with the packages installed but not the module though
[01:04] <donofrio> priporg, man fdisk
[01:05] <photon> Anyone know how I should troubleshoot?
[01:05] <Orxata_> wafflejock: how can I check which module is "loaded"?
[01:05] <wafflejock> Orxata_, lspci -vv
[01:05] <wafflejock> Orxata_, that'll list devices and includes kernel module loaded for various devices, or maybe lsmod but know the former command should show it
[01:06] <Orxata_> I see
[01:06] <Orxata_> 	Kernel modules: nouveau, nvidiafb
[01:07] <wafflejock> Orxata_, ah yeah noveau is the open source driver not sure about the second one really
[01:07] <wafflejock> Orxata_, have an nvidia card in my desktop but just wiped out Ubuntu from there for now
[01:08] <Orxata_> can I just "plug-in" the nvidia-current driver instead of those two?
[01:08] <javier_> hiii
[01:09] <javier_> jjjjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiijjjjjjiiiiiiiijjjjjijjijijijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjijijijijijijijijijiijijijijjjjjjjjjjijijjijijijijijjjjiijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
[01:09] <wafflejock> Orxata_, maybe, someone else would have to guide you on that though I've only installed with the additional drivers, occasionally I've had to blacklist a module to stop it from loading if it conflicted with another module but wouldn't want to do that till you know the other module is loaded
[01:09] <wafflejock> Orxata_, in general modprobe and rmmod are the relevant commands I think but wouldn't know how to guide you directly on doing that
[01:09] <Orxata_> ok I'll do some research
[01:09] <Orxata_> thank you for that info
[01:10] <wafflejock> no prob good luck
[01:10] <kathy> I have a problem after 14.04 to 16.04 upgrade.  See:  http://termbin.com/vje0
[01:11] <Orxata_> btw:
[01:11] <Orxata_>  lshw -c video
[01:11] <Orxata_>        configuration: latency=0
[01:12] <Orxata_> there's no current driver loaded
[01:12] <kathy> It is a conflict between upstart and systemd.  So do I just uninstall upstart?
[01:14] <kathy> "The script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart"
[01:14] <kathy> I've tried to switch to sddm from lightdm
[01:14] <kathy> or gdm... not sure which it was before
[01:14] <kathy> So just uninstall upstart?
[01:14] <kathy> Will it break anything?
[01:15] <nacc> kathy: have you rebooted since you upgraded?
[01:15] <matteo_> Hy guys! I'm attending a course at University about Python (just an introduction) and I need to install Python 3.2.2 (this version) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I've installed Python but I can't find the way for installing also IDLE.. Can you help me, please?
[01:15] <javier_> hii
[01:15] <javier_> i want to talk someone
[01:15] <nacc> !chat | javier_
[01:16] <bazhang> javier_, try a chat channel, this is ubuntu support
[01:16] <nacc> matteo_: 16.04 has 3.5.1-3, not 3.2.2
[01:16] <matteo_> @nacc so what can I do?
[01:16] <nacc> matteo_: well you would be unsupported here if you installed python 3.2.2 (from source, i guess)
[01:17] <nacc> matteo_: also, to install idle, `apt install idle`, afaict
[01:17] <wafflejock> !info idle3
[01:17] <nacc> wafflejock: err, good catch!
[01:17] <nacc> was just noticing that in the pkg description :)
[01:17] <nacc> matteo_: but note even idle3 will depend on python3 from ubuntu (which again is 3.5.1)
[01:18] <kathy> any ideas?
[01:18] <matteo_> In fact I can't run IDLE having Python 3.2.2
[01:18] <kathy>  nacc:  Yes, several times
[01:18] <nacc> matteo_: why would you want 3.2.2, iiuc, 3.2 is eol (feb. 2016)
[01:19] <nacc> matteo_: and even then, you'd use 3.2.5, at least, i would think
[01:19] <kathy> I'm going to uninstall upstart and try that.  BRB
[01:19] <matteo_> My problem is that I have to use Python3.2.2 because the exam and the course I'm attending will be on that version..
[01:19] <nacc> well, that sounds like a terrible course, as it's teaching you using a version of python that is no longer supported
[01:19] <nacc> :)
[01:19] <nacc> matteo_: --^
[01:20] <matteo_> Hahaha hope not!
[01:20] <joebobjoe> Why are the group permissions different in ls than chacl? https://gist.github.com/anonymous/7a27c528c2add4e5ff664467d41c8780
[01:20] <nacc> joebobjoe: acls are not unix permissions
[01:20] <nacc> joebobjoe: they are distinct
[01:21] <nacc> joebobjoe: read `man acl` and `man chmod`
[01:21] <joebobjoe> nacc: but... but... why would ACL have a duplicate group permission that is different
[01:21] <nacc> matteo_: i guess you'd need to d/l from https://www.python.org/download/releases/3.2.2/ and build from source
[01:21] <joebobjoe> Which one should be used?
[01:22] <nacc> joebobjoe: please read the manpages.
[01:22] <codepython777> how hard is it to configure a mailserver these days? Is it a bad idea to setup one where I want to use the machine as a desktop? :)
[01:22] <nacc> joebobjoe: particularly: "CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN ACL ENTRIES AND FILE PERMISSION BITS
[01:23] <joebobjoe> ok
[01:23] <joebobjoe> You don't have to shout
[01:23] <nacc> joebobjoe: sorry, that was a quote from the manpage
[01:23] <matteo_> nacc how can I build it form source?
[01:24] <matteo_> Sorry, I'm not so good
[01:24] <nacc> codepython777: configuring it correctly is non-trivial, i would say
[01:24] <joebobjoe> oh right
[01:24] <nacc> matteo_: it's ok, but it feels like your professor cannot have intended this. Also, teaching you a specific, unsupported version of python seems like a rather bad idea.
[01:25] <nacc> matteo_: i would ask your professor what they intended
[01:25] <codepython777> nacc: perhaps there is a vm preconfigured I could use?
[01:25] <photon> Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 not booting (http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761) Someone please help
[01:26] <matteo_> nacc So you mean that maybe I can use Python3.5 instead of Python3.2.2 and so solving problems? There would be differences in code between the two versions?
[01:27] <nacc> matteo_: i'm not saying htat, necessarily, as there are (typically new) language changes
[01:27] <nacc> matteo_: i'm saying i don't understnd why you would be taught the specific syntax of a now eol python
[01:27] <nacc> or be tested on it, i guess
[01:27] <codepython777> nacc: which mail package's vm should i look for?
[01:27] <matteo_> don't know..
[01:27] <nacc> matteo_: but in any case, this seems like a question for your profesorr
[01:28] <nacc> matteo_: and not really an ubuntu support question (where the answer here is: you cant' have python 3.2.2 on ubuntu 16.04). I guess you could search the PPAs i fyou want
[01:28] <nacc> codepython777: I have no idea what you mean -- there aren't prepackaged VMs of mailservers, that I know of. And I woulnd't trust them, probably
[01:28] <matteo_> Ok! Sorry nacc for disturb! Thanks anyway!
[01:29] <nacc> matteo_: nothing to apologize for
[01:30] <energizer> How can I uninstall a package in /usr/local/lib ?
[01:31] <nacc> energizer: packages do not install to /usr/local/lib, generally
[01:31] <joebobjoe> nacc: mother of god. ACCESS CHECK ALGORITHM is confusing as hell
[01:31] <nacc> joebobjoe: :)
[01:31] <kk4ewt> how did you install it
[01:31] <joebobjoe> nacc: who came up with this stupid mess
[01:31] <root___> hi joebob
[01:31] <joebobjoe> root___: hi?
[01:31] <nacc> joebobjoe: ACLs are complicated to get right :)
[01:31] <root___> wanna play
[01:31] <energizer> nacc: i agree, im trying to remove one that shoulnt be there
[01:31] <joebobjoe> root___: play what
[01:31] <nacc> !chat | root___
[01:32] <root___> scrabble 8~~~~~~~~~D
[01:32] <joebobjoe> no thanks
[01:32] <joebobjoe> get banned bitch
[01:33] <nacc> joebobjoe: it's actually pretty well written
[01:34] <energizer> nacc: how can i remove the package from there so nobody gets into trouble
[01:34] <nacc> energizer: right, but if by pacakge you mean .deb, then nothing from ubuntu
[01:34] <nacc> energizer: so let's go back to kk4ewt's question, how did whatever you are referring to get put in /usr/local/ ?
[01:34] <kathy> I uninstalled upstart and now I get termbin.com/xow6
[01:34] <energizer> nacc: someone else put it there, im trying to remove it. /usr/loca/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/the_package_i_want_to_remove
[01:35] <nacc> energizer: well, that's where a locally install python library should go
[01:36] <nacc> energizer: there is not, typically, an 'uninstall' option, unless the source is around and nicely provides one
[01:36] <nacc> energizer: if i understand python well enough (and i'm not sure i do), you should be safe to simply remove that directory (or move/rename it)
[01:37] <joebobjoe> nacc: how long should it take me to understand.. :(
[01:37] <joebobjoe> I don't get this whole masking thing
[01:38] <nacc> joebobjoe: so normally you have just ugo
[01:38] <Lance24> Good Day Everyone :)
[01:38] <energizer> nacc: what is the benefit of installing to that location vs using a venv?
[01:39] <nacc> joebobjoe: m says what is the maximum any of ug can be (aiui)
[01:39] <kathy> http://termbin.com/d0hv
[01:39] <kathy> Result of apt-get remove insserv
[01:39] <Lance24> I need some help in in creating a simple script for an ubuntu server to automatically install and update packages daily without me being there.
[01:40] <kathy> I think this will be my last do-release-upgrade
[01:40] <joebobjoe> Under ACCESS CHECK ALGORITHM it says               if the matching ACL_USER entry and the ACL_MASK entry contain the requested permissions, access is granted,
[01:40] <photon> http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761
[01:40] <joebobjoe> but under that for group, it says ACL_MASK doesn't have to be present
[01:41] <nacc> Lance24: do you mean unattended-upgrades? it already exists
[01:41] <Lance24> any thoughts/ ideas?
[01:41] <joebobjoe> nacc: wait so what happens if one program doesn't understand ACL and another does? One won't get access?
[01:41] <kathy> Lance24: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/automatic-updates.html
[01:41] <nacc> joebobjoe: programs don't understand ACLs at all, necessarily
[01:41] <nacc> joebobjoe: this is all enforced by filesystems/VFS
[01:42] <Lance24> Thank you Kathy ! :)
[01:42] <kathy> NP
[01:43] <nacc> joebobjoe: aiui, (see VALID ACLs), if ACL_USER or ACL_GROUP is present, it must have an ACL_MASK
[01:44] <nacc> energizer: well, venvs solve a different problem, aiui
[01:44] <nacc> energizer: venvs let you install multiple version of the same python lib (you can basically bundle all of your stuff together)
[01:45] <nacc> energizer: but /usr/local/ would only still let you really have one version installed (it can just be different than the system version)
[01:45] <kathy> insserv: warning: script 'S02powernowd.early' missing LSB tags and overrides
[01:45] <kathy> Any ideas?
[01:45] <nacc> kathy: what package ships that file?
[01:47] <kathy>  nacc: Which file?
[01:47] <kathy> http://termbin.com/xow6
[01:47] <nacc> kathy: the script 'S02powernowd.early'
[01:48] <kathy> Ok, looks like two
[01:48] <kathy> Let's see.... how do I figure that out.....?
[01:48] <nacc> kathy: dpkg -S S02powernowd.early
[01:48] <EriC^^> !find S02powernowd.early
[01:48] <nacc> EriC^^: yeah it's not packaged anymore
[01:48] <nacc> kathy: so i'm *guessing* that you have packages that are only present in 14.04 still installed
[01:48] <nacc> the release upgrade, i believe, does not necessarily uninstall those
[01:49] <EriC^^> try dpkg -S `locate S02powernowd.early | head -1`
[01:49] <kathy> I'm grepping /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list
[01:49] <ikonia> nacc: it should as there should be 'obsolete' tags against the 16.04 product that replaces that functionality
[01:49] <ikonia> nacc: it doesn't always work though
[01:49] <nacc> ikonia: but not if they arent' replaced, aiui?
[01:49] <nacc> ikonia: meaning packages that no longer exist at all
[01:49] <ikonia> nacc: I think thats the grey area, it's not drop in replacement but functionality replacement
[01:50] <nacc> ikonia: yeah :/
[01:50] <ikonia> nacc: I'd guess those that slip through the net like that should be in some core package as obsolete to make sure they are gone
[01:50] <ikonia> (bad example I know)
[01:50] <kathy> powernowd
[01:50] <ikonia> eg: ubuntu-core obsoletes upstart for example
[01:51] <kathy> So should I just uninstall poernowd
[01:51] <kathy> ?
[01:51] <nacc> ikonia: yeah, but it's odd that kathy's upgrade didn't remove upstart
[01:51] <kathy> It's not installed...
[01:51] <kathy> Installed: (none)
[01:51] <nacc> kathy: 'powernowd'?
[01:52] <ikonia> nacc: ooh, was it actually upstart
[01:52] <kathy> BTW, this is after do-release-upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04
[01:52] <nacc> kathy: i'm not seeing any such package since (at least) 12.04
[01:52] <ikonia> I was just using thats as a random example
[01:52] <nacc> ikonia: :)
[01:52] <ikonia> nacc: I wonder if it's a PPA package that may depend on upstart that stops it being removed
[01:52] <kathy> Yea, this machine started at 12.04
[01:52] <nacc> kathy: no i mean it's not present in 12.04 either
[01:52] <kathy> So wonder how to get rid of this stuff...
[01:52] <nacc> which makes me think, ppa, yeah
[01:53] <nacc> kathy: can you use the dpkg command provided earlier rather than grepping?
[01:53] <ikonia> nacc: so the 16.04 meta clean up process would work - however a different package is blocking it with a depend
[01:54] <nacc> ikonia: right, i could see that happening -- iirc, there's a way to search for packages by release, but i'm not sure (so then you'd be able to see what's still help from trusty archives and why)
[01:54] <nacc> *installed packages
[01:54] <kathy> `locate S02powernowd.early | head -1`  returns nothing
[01:54] <ikonia> nacc: there must be something in apt-file (for example)
[01:54] <ikonia> I can't think of a way to do it off the top of my head
[01:55] <nacc> ikonia: yeah, i can't either right now :)
[01:57] <kathy> How do I search for possible previous ppa packages?  Or the possibility any were installed?
[01:57] <ikonia> nacc: I've not followed this but could she not just try to remove upstart and see what complains
[01:58] <nacc> ikonia: already removed, yep
[01:58] <kathy> something.list?
[01:58] <ikonia> ahhh
[01:58] <ikonia> never mind then
[01:58] <nacc> ikonia: there is another package now
[01:58] <ikonia> of course there is....
[01:58] <nacc> or at elast, an initscript
[01:58] <berglh> anyway to get notification of new mainline kernel builds for ubuntu?
[01:58] <kathy> Having a senior moment.
[01:58] <ikonia> nacc: an initscript....thats stinking PPA
[01:58] <kathy> mirrors.list?
[01:58] <nacc> berglh: mainline kernels aren't built for ubuntu (except in the kernel ppa)
[01:58] <nacc> kathy: you could look in /etc/apt/sources.list*
[01:59] <hggdh> berglh: there is no notifications, as far as I remember. But usually they follow soon after a milestone
[01:59] <berglh> oh: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D?
[01:59] <kathy> grep ppa /etc/apt/sources.list Returns nothing
[01:59] <hggdh> berglh: so the new rc should be there already
[01:59] <ikonia> berglh: could you not point an apt config at the repo
[02:00] <ikonia> that way you'll get updates via system notifications
[02:00] <berglh> no.. i'm wanting to build kernels automatically with some patches applied
[02:00] <berglh> if there was some announcement or rss feed or something
[02:00] <berglh> i could use that as my trigger
[02:00] <berglh> i'll just have to poll the git repo
[02:00] <berglh> and then pull the latest mainline branch and build from tehre
[02:01] <kathy> http://termbin.com/xow6  Any ideas?
[02:01] <kathy> "insserv: warning: script 'powernowd.early' missing LSB tags and overrides"
[02:01] <ikonia> berglh: there are http services that translate to rss (eg: an rss end point to monitor a http index)
[02:01] <berglh> intresting
[02:02] <berglh> i just thought using the ubuntu mainline http server could be a way to know that a new release is available
[02:03] <berglh> because i'll be cloning a specific commit from the ubuntu kernel git repo
[02:03] <ikonia> berglh: it's just a webserver
[02:03] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/zkit
[02:03] <berglh> maybe just better to watch the tags
[02:03] <ikonia> berglh: you can get git notifications
[02:03] <ikonia> thats not a bad approach
[02:03] <kathy_> (Result of sudo apt-get remove insserv )
[02:04] <kathy_> do-release-upgrade #Bad idea.... :(
[02:04] <berglh> my idea is to use travis ci to build
[02:04] <berglh> but git ls-remote gives me a list on the remote git server
[02:05] <berglh> ikonia: i don't control the repo; so i can't use hooks afaik
[02:05] <ikonia> berglh: I can see your options dissapearing
[02:06] <kathy_> I guess the best/easiest thing to do is fresh install.
[02:06] <kathy_> Any other ideas?
[02:06] <berglh> ikonia: www.kernel.org does list the latest mainline though
[02:06] <EriC^^> kathy_: what's your problem exactly?
[02:07] <berglh> or i could just start building vanilla linux kernels; i just figured i'm targeting ubuntu, so would make sense to use the ubuntu kernel git repo
[02:07] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/ur41
[02:07] <kathy_> trying to remove insserv
[02:07] <berglh> i wonder what the process is for building ubuntu kernels and publishing them
[02:07] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/xow6
[02:07] <kathy_> Trying to enable sddm
[02:08] <kathy_> insserv: warning: script 'powernowd.early' missing LSB tags and overrides
[02:08] <kathy_>  EriC^^:  This system has been upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and then to 16.04
[02:09] <kathy_> I guess one needs to do a lot of sophisticated house cleaning before doing release-upgrade.
[02:09] <kathy_> (This PC belongs to a friend...)
[02:09] <absurdist> how to figure out the controller (PCIID) behind a drive path e.g /dev/sda/
[02:09] <kathy_> But... I would like to figure out how to fix it... so, any ideas?
[02:10] <jean__> hi
[02:10] <kathy_> One problem was that, after the upgrade, I had upstart and systemd both installed.
[02:10] <EriC^^> kathy_: warnings aren't a big deal usually
[02:10] <kathy_> Maybe the silver bullet would be to just uninstall systemd and re-install upstart?
[02:11] <kathy_> EriC^^:  Yes, but would like some things to work.
[02:11] <kathy_> kathy will not want to manually start sddm
[02:12] <kathy_> I unsitalled lightdm and installed sddm *(because sddm is a bit more light weight and we are on xfce here).  So.....?
[02:12] <kathy_> Any ideas?
[02:12] <EriC^^> kathy_: it doesn't autostart?
[02:13] <EriC^^> kathy_: https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=379 seems pretty ok
[02:13] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/xow6 is the result of systemd enable sddm
[02:13] <kathy_> No it does not autostart.
[02:14] <EriC^^> sddm?
[02:15] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/ewfg  #Result of apt-get remove insserv
[02:15] <kathy_> !info sddm | EriC^^
[02:16] <EriC^^> kathy_: so what happens when you boot now?
[02:17] <EriC^^> kathy_: i think insserv is just whining about the tags, it's not an issue though
[02:18] <kathy_> EriC^^: So, there are a couple of problems here.  1) There are old packages that were not removed, (Even though I did autoremove and some other precautions before release-upgrade)  2) systemd and upstart were in conflict after releses-upgrade
[02:18] <kathy_> EriC^^: Just boots to a console screen because sddm does not start.
[02:19] <kathy_> Maybe I just need to re-install upstart and remove systemd?
[02:19] <kathy_> This is making my head hurt ;(
[02:20] <kathy_> Any other ideas?
[02:20] <kathy_> sudo apt-get install upstart && sudo apt-get remove systemd
[02:20] <EriC^> kathy_: got dc
[02:21] <EriC^> kathy_: try systemctl status sddm
[02:21] <EriC^> kathy_: i have upstart still installed too on 16.04.1
[02:21] <kathy_> Excess arguments
[02:22] <EriC^> kathy_: "sudo systemctl status sddm"
[02:23] <kathy_> Wow, looks like that command will totally destroy the system.
[02:23] <kathy_> Watching it get blown away....
[02:23] <kathy_> :)
[02:24] <EriC^^> lol :)
[02:24] <EriC^^> it shouldn't do anything
[02:24] <kathy_> This might make my reinstall vs realease-upgrade decision much easier.
[02:25] <EriC^^> yeah fresh installing new releases is a good idea
[02:27] <kathy_> Check this out:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23750226/
[02:29] <EriC^^> kathy_: why are you trying to remove systemd?
[02:29] <kathy_> Ok tell me how to enable a service with upstart?
[02:29] <kathy_> lightdm
[02:29] <EriC^^> i said my system has upstart installed as well as
[02:29] <Orxata_> I did it
[02:29] <Orxata_> yeah
[02:30] <kathy_> Really..
[02:30] <EriC^^> it's a fresh install of 16.04.1
[02:30] <EriC^^> http://termbin.com/w8gv
[02:32] <nacc> EriC^^: upstart is still needed for the session managers, iirc
[02:32] <kathy_> Now, autoremove is removing a LOT of stuff.
[02:33] <kathy_> nacc: That's interesting....
[02:33] <kathy_> There's insserv !
[02:34] <kathy_> http://termbin.com/w8gv
[02:34] <nacc> or the greeters, maybe, i cna't recall
[02:34] <EriC^^> kathy_: yeh
[02:34] <photon> http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761 Could anyone help me with this please?
[02:35] <EriC^^> kathy_: just noticed you actually went through with the previous command of removing systemd
[02:36] <kathy_> Reinstalled it again too  ;)
[02:36] <photon> Anyone
[02:36] <kathy_> I might reboot and see what is left of this system....
[02:36] <EriC^^> kathy_: a ton of packages got removed though
[02:36] <kathy_> Will be interesting....
[02:36] <kathy_> Yep
[02:36] <kathy_> and a ton more too..
[02:36] <EriC^^> kathy_: it's probably a good idea to reinstall the whole distro from a fresh iso
[02:38] <kathy_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23750273/
[02:38] <kathy_> Yea, that will more-than-likely be next.
[02:38] <kathy_> Check out the above link.  The result of autoremove
[02:39] <photon> http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761
[02:39] <kathy_> I think I'll reboot and see what is left of this system.  I might be back tomorrow with an update, (if it is totally hosed ;)
[02:39]  * EriC^^ puts hand on face and looks through fingers
[02:40]  * wafflejock sides hurt
[02:41] <Herbalist> kathy have courage .. we are all standing behind you !
[02:44] <kathy> Ok, I'm back.  Cant start sddm or lightdm either one.
[02:45] <kathy> Could someone repeat back to me the last pastebin.com/whatever to me?
[02:45] <kathy> (I forgot to write it down...)
[02:45] <kathy> Please?
[02:45] <icedwater> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23750273/ ?
[02:46] <kathy> let me see..
[02:46] <icedwater> Or http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761
[02:46] <icedwater> Oh, oops, that was photon.
[02:48] <kathy> icedwater: not found
[02:48] <Orxata_> what is GLIBCXX_3.4.18?
[02:49] <Orxata_> and why the program I want to run says that this version is not found
[02:49] <kathy> Oh wait.  I'm just not used to seeing it in lynx
[02:50] <kathy> ...just have to scroll down.  Thanks icedwater
[02:51] <fraktor> I'm trying to install Wine under 16.04, but it keeps saying that there is no installation candidate.
[02:51] <photon> ?
[02:51] <fraktor> I was only able to install winetricks.
[02:52] <Mr1NK> fraktor : try to install from other ppa ( third party )
[02:53] <kathy> Ok, not giving up yet.
[02:53] <icedwater> Hmm, that
[02:53] <icedwater> That's the only one I see above, though. Unless you mean something before, http://termbin.com/w8gv
[02:54] <Orxata_> why is that libstdc++6 is only available in a ppa?
[02:54] <fraktor> Mr1NK: Which ppa is that in particular?
[02:54] <icedwater> kathy: I see it, the most common word in that paste is "Removing", right?
[02:55] <icedwater> See you folks later...
[02:55] <Mr1NK> fraktor : googling, or try ask on ask.ubuntu
[02:55] <kathy> haha yea, it is.
[02:55] <mars_> fraktor, https://launchpad.net/~wine/+archive/ubuntu/wine-builds. saves you the googling
[02:56] <Mr1NK> thats
[02:56] <kathy> icedwater: apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies sddm  #Is installing at least 100 packages...
[02:56] <photon> http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761 Anyone please
[03:00] <kathy> Error::GDBus error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed:Cannot launch daemon, file not found or permissions invalid
[03:00] <fraktor> mars_: That didn't work. It says that "wine" has unmet dependencies "wine1.6"
[03:01] <mars_> fraktor, could you do sudo apt install -f
[03:01] <fraktor> 0 new packages, etc.
[03:02] <double-you> is there any auto helpers with ubuntu . like a program that would instruct you what to do and annotate things
[03:02] <Orxata_> /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available
[03:03] <double-you> something like that?
[03:03] <Orxata_> what does that mean?
[03:03] <fraktor> mars_: Wait. It looks like the wine-builds repository calls it wine-staging. That seems to be installing fine.
[03:03] <kathy> Ok got the gui back.
[03:03] <kathy> I think I'll reboot again and see if a display manager will start....
[03:03] <kathy> login manager
[03:03] <kathy> anyway, brb
[03:04] <mars_> yeah fraktor. It's basically the newer version of wine. Version 2.0 the latest one.
[03:04] <mars_> fraktor, sudo apt install wine-staging winehq-staging
[03:04] <Speiros> Greetings good people.
[03:08] <kathy> Ok. Got lightdm again.  Booting to a GUI.
[03:09] <photon> Someone help me please. http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761
[03:09] <kathy> Looks like most everthing is working....  Ok...
[03:10] <kathy> I'll call it a night.
[03:10] <kathy> Thanks all.
[03:10] <Speiros> Hmm, it was already called a night...
[03:16] <Mr1NK> photon : you try to dualboot
[03:16] <photon156> Yes
[03:17] <bahari> test
[03:18] <Speiros> bahari What are you testing?
[03:18] <photon156> It's a sandisk ssd.. Could that be a problem
[03:19] <bahari> sorry just test my irc client from my box
[03:19] <Speiros> bahari No problem:)
[03:20] <mars_> If i'm getting this right. Win10 is in another hdd, ubuntu mate is in ssd. Right?
[03:20] <photon156> Correct
[03:21] <mars_> So in your bios setting, what is the boot order?
[03:21] <aName> So I'm trying to boot Kubuntu live on a 2009 iMac, as I do not have install media for OS X. I seem to have stalled somewhere in the process. It looks like X is up, but all I see is a mouse cursor.
[03:21] <photon156> I'm not sure what it is right now, but for testing right now I select the drive from the menu
[03:21] <aName> Am I just expecting too much of this machine and should give it more time?
[03:22] <aName> (or perhaps the USB drive which is fairly modern but not especially nice)
[03:22] <photon156> Usually live cds/usbs take a little bi
[03:22] <photon156> T
[03:23] <mars_> You're using grub as the main bootloader right. Not the windows' one. If so select the drive on /boot/ partition. Usually installed on / ubuntu partition
[03:23] <photon156> Grub is on the root partition
[03:24] <photon156> If thats what you mean
[03:24] <mars_> Yes, that's what i mean
[03:25] <aName> photon156: I don't remember it taking this long back when I did it on similar machines back when they were new. BUt maybe that was rose colored glasses. I'll give it a few more minutes.
[03:25] <aName> I was getting 50MBps writes to the USB though so it's not THAT slow
[03:25] <aName> Probably faster than the disk in this thing lol
[03:25] <photon156> What about read
[03:25] <Speiros> aName Mine took a while when I used the encrypted partition, if that's any help.
[03:25] <aName> Dunno, but I've yet to see a flash drive with slower reads than writes
[03:26] <photon156> True =P
[03:26] <Bashing-om> photon156: Might be good to show the channel your partitioning so we know how you should be booting . pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' .
[03:26] <photon156> It usually takes quite a while for live cds to boot for me
[03:26] <photon156> K 1 sec
[03:28] <aName> Well... the computer just blanked the display and went to sleep
[03:29] <suilihui> hi
[03:29] <suilihui> hello
[03:30] <mars_> hello
[03:30] <suilihui> lol
[03:30] <aName> So... what now
[03:31] <aName> It's a 2009 iMac 7,1 if that helps
[03:31] <aName> I suppose I could try a non-graphical installer, it wouldn't be the first time, but I'm worried I'm going to spend two hours downloading it, burning the image to another disk, booting... and the same thing happening lol
[03:32] <aName> So I'm hoping there's a workaround
[03:32] <Speiros> aName is the sleep just a standard thing, where moving the mouse awakens it?
[03:32] <aName> Yeah
[03:32] <Speiros> Ok.
[03:33] <Speiros> aName I don't have much experience on these things, so I'm more of an inquisitor...without the torture implements...and the comfy pillows.
[03:33] <mikey1> hello all
[03:33] <aName> If I were on windows, I'd guess explorer or the window management service hadn't come up
[03:34] <aName> And I'd hit ctrl+shift+esc to invoke task manager and go from there
[03:34] <aName> Not sure what the equivalent is here
[03:35] <photon156> Ctrl alt backspace restarts the wm I believe
[03:35] <aName> No joy.
[03:36] <mikey1> I have a kubuntu box
[03:37] <mikey1> I saw a bug in kde that breaks a certain I/O library when running deadline
[03:37] <aName> OK Ctrl+Alt+f11 drops me back to a terminal... I think
[03:37] <aName> aaaand it's not accepting input
[03:37] <aName> brilliant
[03:37] <mikey1> I cant easily find the bug again, howevre I ran a tail -n +1 /cat/sys/block/*/queue/scheduler
[03:38] <mikey1> and found that /dev/sr0 a scsi device is using deadline however hte rest of /dev is using cfq
[03:38] <aName> I guess I'll try the OEM install?
[03:39] <aName> See what happens
[03:39] <mikey1> i noticed that this is /dev/cdrom
[03:39] <mikey1> will deadline on my cdrom drive affect kde? and how can I change the scheduler for one device?
[03:40] <aName> Yeah, that came right up
[03:40] <aName> I'll take it.
[03:41] <photon156> Bashing-om: sorry for delay. Root 233 gb with boot flag, ext4 fs
[03:41] <photon156> Then I have swap
[03:42] <mars_> /dev/cdrom use deadline? I thought it's for hdd or ssd
[03:46] <Bashing-om> photon156: Boot a liveUSB .. and show us what all we are working with . pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' then we can talk about how you are booting . ( Win10 I expect as EFI , if ubuntu is MBR will not boot that Win drive) .
[03:49] <mikey2> sudo cat cfq > /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler
[03:49] <mikey2> permission denied
[03:49] <mikeymop> I never saw sudo be denied
[03:49] <mikeymop> is it dangerous to try su -c ""
[03:50] <Ben64> it can be
[03:51] <photon156> Sudo -i
[03:51] <mars_> sudo echo
[03:51] <Ben64> mikeymop: what are you trying to do
[03:51] <mikeymop> Ben64: i want to change the io scheduler of /dev/sr0
[03:51] <photon156> I have full wifi connecteion but it says i cant connect
[03:51] <mikeymop> because I read there is a kubuntu bug that breaks ionice when deadline is enabled
[03:51] <mikeymop> and I get pretty bad io performance with the plasma
[03:52] <tiox> I need some help. Can I be invited into #ubuntu-help please?
[03:52] <Ben64> mikeymop: oh you changed your name
[03:53] <photon156> Bashing-om: I can't pstebin it, for some reason the browser is fucked
[03:53] <mikeymop> yea, i had to ghost from my work comp rq
[03:53] <tiox> Or is that no longer a thing and I can just make queries here?
[03:53] <Bashing-om> tiox: You are in the ubuntu help channel :)
[03:53] <tiox> Fair enough.
[03:53] <Ben64> mikeymop: you'll want to do something like "echo cfq | sudo tee /sys/block/sr0/queue/scheduler"
[03:53] <mikeymop> it's deadline
[03:53] <mikeymop> i'll try that
[03:54] <Bashing-om> tiox: Just ask your ubuntu question :)
[03:54] <tiox> So I am getting some super-weird stuff with dpkg where I cannot install or remove something with a similar name because for some reason dpkg is trying to find a file which isn't a Debian file.
[03:54] <Ben64> tiox: just ask your question?
[03:54] <photon156> I have to go now, thanks for listening everyone
[03:54] <tiox> Trying to glop when I get errors that I do not get in a live session.
[03:54] <tiox> glob*
[03:55] <tiox> How can I tell dpkg these files do not exist, or at least, should not be found when doing a glob for installatin or removal?
[03:55] <tiox> installation*
[03:55] <mikeymop> Ben64: that worked, ty
[03:55] <Ben64> tiox: no idea, you're just sort of describing the problem instead of showing it to anyone here
[03:56] <mikeymop> Ben64: do you know if this is a bash anomoly or how sudo is configured?
[03:56] <Bashing-om> tiox: Show us in a pastebin the out puts of terminal commands ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ' .
[03:56] <Ben64> mikeymop: sudo doesn't go through redirection
[03:56] <tiox> Well, it's because I am doing stuff that isn't necessarily supported or advocated by Canonical; I'm trying to backport Compiz when I get weird errors like this with sudo apt --purge autoremove compiz*;
[03:56] <tiox> E: Unable to locate package compiz08new.profile
[03:56] <tiox> Which is my profile for Compiz, or at least, one of them for 0.8, not a Debian file.
[03:56] <mikeymop> Ben64: nice, so grep did 'block it' in a way
[03:57] <mikeymop> Ben64: the pipe*
[03:57] <tiox> But I do not get that error in a live session, predumably because something in my home folder is messed. Happens with a new install, too.
[03:57] <tiox> presumably*
[03:57] <Ben64> mikeymop: it's a separate thing when you do |
[03:58] <tiox> Where is dpkg finding these files when I glob / regex with apt / apt-get and how can I fix it?
[03:58] <Ben64> tiox: do you see it when you do 'ls compiz*'
[03:59] <tiox> They are in my home folder, yeah.
[03:59] <Ben64> there you go
[03:59] <tiox> SO you're just saying move them out and problem solved hm?
[03:59] <tyriondwarf> HELP  WHY Do i have to typ password after every fking sudo command this is really STUPID
[03:59] <Ben64> tiox: fix the command you're running, run it in a different directory, stop doing wonky stuff, one of those
[04:00] <Ben64> tyriondwarf: you don't!
[04:00] <tyriondwarf> I EVEN RAN
[04:00] <mikeymop> Ben64: thats good to know about sudo, and actually clears up a few piping problems i had in uni. Thans again
[04:00] <tyriondwarf> sudo visudo
[04:00] <tyriondwarf> Defaults        env_reset, timestamp_timeout=99
[04:00] <tyriondwarf> doesnt work.im getting pissed
[04:00] <tiox> Well huh.
[04:00] <tiox> Why is dpkg trying to use those files in my glob?
[04:00] <mozammel> anyone have experiance that gnome-terminal not working ? here is my error  http://pastebin.com/aYeMzX83
[04:01] <mozammel> ubuntu 16.10
[04:01] <Ben64> tiox: how does your shell know the difference between ls compiz* and apt-get remove compiz*
[04:01] <vw34> hello, how can i know if i have a trojan? where can i check?
[04:01] <tiox> Fair enough.
[04:03] <vw34> anybody?
[04:04] <tyriondwarf> btw I'm not your average retard newby in here asking stupid questions, I'm a web developer and I cannot find a way to stop sudo commands from requiring a password every five fucking seconds
[04:04] <tyriondwarf> vw34: BAD question USE GOOGLE
[04:04] <Ben64> vw34: short answer - you don't. if you suspect you do, time to format
[04:04] <Ben64> tyriondwarf: chill out, watch the language, don't tell people to google it
[04:04] <Speiros> vw34  You can also add the command sudo ufw enable next time in terminal if you like.
[04:05] <Finetundra> vw34: I believe there is an AV called clamav that you might can try checking with but I don't know of it's current status
[04:05] <tyriondwarf> google, theres 100s of softwares
[04:05] <mozammel> Finetundra: AV only check virus which is for windows
[04:06] <vw34> what are the ways you can get a trojan?
[04:06] <vw34> is it through the browser always?
[04:06] <Finetundra> mozammel: clamav was specifically for linux distros
[04:06] <Ben64> running things from random places
[04:07] <vw34> ben64 like facebook?
[04:07] <Finetundra> mozammel: Keep in mind that I'm recalling it's existance from several years past which is why I included that bit about not knowing it's current status
[04:07] <Ben64> vw34: if you download and run something from facebook, sure
[04:07] <Finetundra> mozammel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clam_AntiVirus
[04:08] <vw34> i haven't dl anything. but i do look at websites from facebook. i wonder if they have hidden trojans
[04:09] <Speiros> vw34 What operating system are you using mate?
[04:09] <tyriondwarf> I wonder if birds fart.  Do birds far guys?
[04:09] <tyriondwarf> fart
[04:09] <Speiros> tyriondwarf yes
[04:09] <tyriondwarf> Is the sun real guys?
[04:09] <Speiros> tyriondwarf no, you need to turn the light switch off.
[04:09] <Rochvellon> no, it's only a painting
[04:10] <mars_> you could sandbox the browser vw34. look into firejail or the automated solution firectl
[04:10] <tiox> HTML5 can allow for some trojans to be ran behind your back, without user intervention, from any website through an ad. Not at all hyperbole.
[04:10] <aName> So apparently Synergy costs money now?
[04:11] <mozammel> Finetundra: yes its for linux distro but its hunt for windows virus.
[04:11] <tyriondwarf> Is there like a non-retard Ubuntu channel anywhere?
[04:11] <tyriondwarf> No offense
[04:11] <Ben64> tyriondwarf: you're not going to get any help with that attitude
[04:11] <Speiros> tyriondwarf I don't think you'll ever find it...no offense (tongue in cheek)
[04:12] <vw34> ben64 what do i do? i am running the latest ubuntu
[04:12] <mars_> this is a support channel. it's not for the usual shiposting.
[04:12] <tyriondwarf> Yeah because you guys have a very basic understanding of Linux
[04:12] <Ben64> vw34: i'd suggest being less paranoid
[04:12] <Ben64> tyriondwarf: feel free to leave then
[04:12] <tiox> Go back to #arch please.
[04:12] <mars_> everyone start somewhere
[04:12] <vw34> i can erase and reinstall but i don't want to be in the same situation. if i am getting trojans through facebook maybe i should stop going there
[04:13] <tyriondwarf> Have fun dealing with idiots like vw34
[04:13] <tiox> Seriously what a doofus.
[04:13] <Speiros> vw34 Don't worry about his comments.  He's just being self-righteous over nothing.
[04:14] <vw34> ok spieros
[04:14] <Speiros> :)
[04:14] <vw34> spieros, i am new to ubuntu
[04:14] <Speiros> vw34 Welcome, and I hope you find it as enjoyable as I do.
[04:14] <vw34> spieros, i've been trying it to avoid windows. i do like ubuntu. but a little bit worried that i have trojans now
[04:14] <Bashing-om> !virus | vw34
[04:15] <vw34> yes i heard that i don't need antivirus
[04:15] <Finetundra> mozammel: I sincerely doubt that seeing as they market it for multiple unix and unix like platforms as well as windows platforms. Even the shittiest of windows AV solutions can detect possible malicious signitures inside of something like a zip
[04:15] <Speiros> vw34 Yes, it seems that way.  That message from ubottu is spot-on.
[04:15] <mars_> vw34, see this. Could help beside using the clamav. https://github.com/rahiel/firectl
[04:15] <vw34> but i heard that it is still possible to get trojans in linux/ubuntu
[04:15] <tiox> That is toxic advice. Not to like, stand on a soapbox or anything but viruses for Linux do exist.
[04:15] <vw34> i would like to know how
[04:16] <tiox> To say you do not need an antivirus is how users of Transmission ended up with KeRanger, because they said the same thing and got phucked.
[04:16] <Speiros> vw34 By default, I'm under the impression that doing a "sudo ufw enable" on terminal will close unused ports.  Is this correct, those with more knowledge than I?
[04:16] <Finetundra> mozammel: I don't intend to continue this argument any further
[04:17] <mozammel> Finetundra: never mind, bottom line is linux is still very very secure, and general user dont need to care about virus.
[04:17] <Speiros> vw34 I have very limited knowledge.
[04:18] <Ben64> vw34: it's very unlikely that you'd get a trojan from browsing the web on windows, much less likely on linux, don't worry about that
[04:18] <Ben64> vw34: basically, don't run things from the internet from untrusted sources
[04:18] <mars_> yeah and to add to that, don't just sudo everything
[04:19] <Speiros> There's a good list for security on ubuntu vw34, but I need to search for it...
[04:20] <vw34> ben64, you can call me paranoid but how do i know this for sure? is there a way to check for trojans in ubuntu?
[04:20] <Speiros> vw34 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicSecurity
[04:21] <mars_> and vw34, we don't call it trojans these days. worms, virus, trojans are called botnet now. it's 2016
[04:21] <mars_> 2017*
[04:22] <Speiros> mars_ And how quickly it flies...
[04:31] <tiox> One more point about people and computers; Not all of them are super-smart. Things that are obvious to us are greek to the lot of masses we want to move away from Windows, and being toxic toward others just because they have a concern or issue you can solve in ten seconds helps nobody.
[04:31] <tiox> But seriously stop saying you can't get a virus on Linux because you can. If people can get viruses on Apple computers then Linux is a stone's throw away.
[04:32] <linuxhelpme> Hey! My headphones give no sound when plugged in. Just started happening. Lubuntu 16.10 with Cinnamon running, Dell XPS 13 9350. Headphones do work on other machines. The laptop speakers work, but sound just mutes when plugged in. Neither device nor application settings are on mute. Test left and right from sound settings, no sound. apt-get update and upgrade, reboot, no luck.
[04:32] <Speiros> tiox Most things are greek to me...and I'm not even Greek.
[04:33] <linuxhelpme> Also, the application I use doesn't change anything
[04:33] <mozammel> tiox: nobody says that linux cant get virus, but its very rare compaired to windows. that the whole point.
[04:33] <tiox> linuxhelpme: Does the computer bill itself as having Beats by Dre built in?
[04:33] <linuxhelpme> tiox.... no it does not
[04:35] <tiox> Not sure if this is the safest advice, but do "pulseaudio -k && rm -rf ~/.pulse* ~/.config/pulse && pulseaudio &" to delete all pulse files, then if it works, do "exit"
[04:35] <tiox> Or you can drop the last ampersand and use run application instead; "sh -c 'pulseaudio -k && rm -rf ~/.pulse* ~/.config/pulse && pulseaudio'"
[04:35] <metaresolve> Im in putty on a VPS and did a grep postgresql because i wanted to find the right folder. i think it was a bad idea. now it's just sitting there, i guess searching? how do I kill it?
[04:36] <mars_> I agree with tiox. Apple is build on darwin which is based on bsd. They're all unix. Right now I could tolerate virus of some sort, but not ransomeware. I hate making backups.
[04:36] <tiox> If that doesn't restore headphone functionality it will at least give pulse a fresh start.
[04:37] <metaresolve> nm, ^c worked
[04:37] <linuxhelpme> tiox, this will reset pulse configuration? doesn't sound too dangerous
[04:37] <Speiros> tiox I have a similar problem but don't get sound at all when I install 16.4, so I reverted after finding no answers.
[04:37] <linuxhelpme> what am i risking tiox?
[04:38] <tiox> Nothing. I've ealt with pulse issues before.
[04:38] <tiox> dealt*
[04:38] <tiox> Mainly because I muck about with jack. :P
[04:38] <linuxhelpme> tiox, i've been uninstalling pulse, installing pulse, on and on for years :/ I will give it a go
[04:41] <linuxhelpme> tiox, output from said command is [1] 4839... no effect on my problem
[04:41] <tiox> What?
[04:41] <tiox> :/
[04:41] <linuxhelpme> yeah i dunno what that mean]
[04:41] <linuxhelpme> a port number maybe?
[04:42] <tiox> The pulseaudio -k command kills tthe process, so most likely it's Pulseaudio's PID.
[04:43] <tiox> Now look in your sound preferences and see if you can get your headphones to chooch.
[04:43] <linuxhelpme> i did, no dice
[04:43] <tiox> Damn. Not sure what else I can advise you to do then.
[04:43] <linuxhelpme> ...boot into windows to watch muh show i guess
[04:44] <tiox> You could join #pulseaudio and see if you can get specialized help there.
[04:44] <linuxhelpme> nice, i will try there
[04:44] <linuxhelpme> thank
[04:44] <linuxhelpme> you
[04:44] <tiox> I tried.
[04:44] <linuxhelpme> appreciated
[04:45] <tiox> linuxhelpme: I've come back from sound issues before so I assumed deleting the config files might work.
[04:45] <tiox> If it's a hardware problem based on your computer's hardware, there's nothing I can do to help because I lack the specialized knowledge about this issue to provide anything more beneficial.
[04:46] <tables> what is the easiest way to create a linux live cd?
[04:46] <tiox> Burn it to disk.
[04:46] <tiox> Most live CDs have a pre-configured bootloader inside the ISO it came in.
[04:47] <tiox> If you're talking about Windows, InfraRecorder works pretty well for me.
[04:48] <tables> i'm trying to make my own livecd
[04:48] <tables> not burn one
[04:48] <tables> livecd distribution
[04:48] <tiox> Ooh.
[04:49] <tiox> Tried this advice first tables? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[04:50] <parmarno> hello
[04:50] <WildPenguin> hello, in softare & updates, what does unsupported updates (yakkety-backports) mean?
[04:51] <icedwater> photon156: I don't suppose you're the same photon that asked the question on askubuntu.com?
[04:52] <mars_> a custom made live cd, not an ubuntu one? tables
[04:53] <mars_> that is a challange making your own distro
[04:53] <WildPenguin> am I invisible here?
[04:54] <mars_> very unstable repo WildPenguin. Will break your system, possibly
[04:54] <mars_> wait I might be mistaken
[04:54] <WildPenguin> mar_, then why is it selected by default?
[04:55] <WildPenguin> I didn't change any settings.
[04:55] <mars_> I made a mistake WildPenguin. That is enabled by default. The unstable is pre-release
[04:56] <WildPenguin> ok. Is it safe?
[04:56] <mars_> Yeah it's safe. The ubuntu team made sure of that.
[04:57] <Speiros> WildPenguin I can't see you (looks, but only sees domesticated penguins)
[04:58] <WildPenguin> hello..
[04:59] <WildPenguin> mars_, ok.
[04:59] <WildPenguin> thanks a lot.
[05:00] <WildPenguin> Speiros, WildPenguin here.
[05:01] <Speiros> * looks for a wild penguin
[05:01] <Speiros> :)
[05:01] <knight> hi
[05:01] <Guest19268> ok
[05:02] <Guest19268> hey so you also ubuntu user
[05:02] <WildPenguin> hey, yes. I am using Lubuntu.
[05:02] <Finetundra> All of us here have at least some basic knowldge of it
[05:03] <Speiros> *puts hand up for "basic" :)
[05:05] <darkblue> I am curious about the relationship between vim and the poor children in Uganda..
[05:06] <tiox> That person with the PA problem resolved his issue.
[05:06] <tiox> darkblue: I am curious about why you're trying to be a troll.
[05:09] <darkblue> sorry,maybe it is not a topic to be discussed here
[05:11] <student> hi
[05:11] <student> anyone there
[05:11] <tiox> darkblue: Sorry for assuming about your topic, but it just sounded like you were trying to fan some flames for lulz.
[05:11] <student> what are you saying
[05:11] <tiox> Hey there student
[05:12] <tiox> Oh nothing.
[05:12] <tiox> What's your problem?
[05:12] <student> nothing
[05:12] <tiox> I want to know why ubuntu-help was dropped as a channel and blocked with +i
[05:12] <student> so you all use ubuntu
[05:13] <mars_> yes, ubanto
[05:13] <tiox> Most of us do.
[05:13] <student> ok
[05:13] <tiox> I am on Ubuntu MATE myself but that's an official derivative now so I see no problem being here unless you want to talk about MATE.
[05:13] <student> so what is your age
[05:13] <tiox> Irrelevant.
[05:13] <mars_> private
[05:14] <student> okkk
[05:14] <tiox> Are you looking for roleplay or something? There are servers in the world tailored for that, or at least have a heavily-invested interest by the community therein.
[05:15] <tiox> Communities therein, rather.
[05:15] <Righteou5> hey guys im having some issues connecting to my pptpd vpn server, i was wondering if you could give me some pointer in finding out why i cant connect
[05:15] <student> what are you speaking
[05:15] <student> fuck you all
[05:15] <tiox> That escalated quickly.
[05:16] <student> fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
[05:16] <tiox> What a doof.
[05:17] <Righteou5> like i dont even know where to start
[05:18] <Speiros> That was strange.
[05:20] <Righteou5> yeah it was but does anyone have some help they can spare
[05:20] <boriseto> Hi, I have a weird problem with the network indicator. After waking my laptop from sleep, the network indicator doesn't show anything, but my machine still connects to wifi and has Internet access. Is there a fix for it? Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity.
[05:21] <Righteou5> im running ubuntu server 14.04
[05:21] <mars_> boriseto, try sudo service network-manager restart
[05:21] <xangua> http://askubuntu.com/questions/761180/wifi-doesnt-work-after-suspend-after-16-04-upgrade boriseto
[05:22] <xangua> Wait that's not it, sorry
[05:23] <xangua> Wi-Fi disabled suspend Ubuntu 16.04http://askubuntu.com/questions/761180/wifi-doesnt-work-after-suspend-after-16-04-upgrade that is
[05:23] <Righteou5> do i need to have ubuntu user accounts to connect to a pptdp vpn?
[05:23] <Righteou5> i have only the one account i created in chap-secrets
[05:23] <boriseto> mars_: that fixes it (but it disconnects me with the restarting). Is it a known problem?
[05:24]  * Speiros is away: (probably off breaking something)
[05:24]  * Speiros is back (gone 00:00:11)
[05:24] <mars_> could you connect to the wifi back using the same password boriseto?
[05:24] <takanuva> I'm trying to make a BCM4313 wifi card work, no success so far... could anyone help me?
[05:25] <boriseto> mars_: it connected by itself. xangua: so basically, add a script that would do the command on every wake from suspend?
[05:27] <mars_> There's a solution which xangua suggested. You could follow this step http://askubuntu.com/a/761220.
[05:28] <mars_> Just follow the step one by one and you'll be alright
[05:30] <Bashing-om> mars_:
[05:30] <Bashing-om> Page Not Found
[05:31] <Bashing-om> mars_: Opps ; that sillu little dot :)
[05:33] <mars_> yes Bashing-om. just got distracted
[05:34] <mars_> takanuva, you could try 'sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source'
[05:34] <mars_> best I could find
[05:35] <mars_> Actually ignore that, have you gone to software updater > setting > additional driver takanuva?
[05:56] <one808> hello

[06:32] <punksnotdead83> Hi
[06:32] <Turiya> hello. I'm looking to setup a RAID 5 on ubuntu server 16.04.1
[06:33] <Turiya> should I be using this tutorial? http://www.tecmint.com/create-raid-5-in-linux/
[06:33] <Turiya> it suggest using mdadm
[06:33] <punksnotdead83> I am relatively new to ubuntu and am having some really aggravating problems, can someone help me?
[06:36] <punksnotdead83> hello?
[06:40] <punksnotdead83> is this a support channel or not?
[06:41] <inteus> It's a support channel of volunteers. Ask your question and if someone can help, they'll answer.
[06:42] <punksnotdead83> I have many questions
[06:42] <_Trullo> turiya, seems like a good guide
[06:43] <punksnotdead83> Why can't I install anything on ubuntu? It is so inconsistent.
[06:44] <sruli> punksnotdead83: start with your most pressing issue, explaing it in as much details as possible
[06:44] <sruli> punksnotdead83: what are you trying to install?
[06:46] <punksnotdead83> My most pressing issue is, I am trying to install software on ubuntu 16.10, the same software I installed on 16.10 previously, however this time it will not install.. I am following the steps to the letter like usual.
[06:46] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: which software is this?
[06:46] <punksnotdead83> pgld
[06:47] <icedwater> !pgld
[06:47] <punksnotdead83> peerguardian
[06:47] <icedwater> I see. (Just checking to see if the bot knew, too.)
[06:48] <icedwater> Which steps are you following, then?
[06:48] <hypermist> i turnt off all programs running ( that i started myself) and 827mb of ram is going no where
[06:48] <hypermist> and i just realized #ubuntu-server is probably where i need to be
[06:48] <punksnotdead83> adding the ppa ... updating ... install via apt-get
[06:49] <punksnotdead83> I do the same thing every time and it works, but this time it doesn't
[06:49] <icedwater> Sounds reasonable. Where did it trip up this time?
[06:49] <punksnotdead83> Unable to locate package pgld
[06:50] <icedwater> So it looks like maybe the PPA didn't add successfully?
[06:50] <Turiya> is fdisk depreciated?
[06:50] <Turiya> should I be using something else? i have a 6x 6TB hdd array
[06:50] <punksnotdead83> I tried to add it via terminal, then manually.. it says it's there
[06:50] <sruli> punksnotdead83: is it a fresh install?
[06:50] <icedwater> I think it wasn't designed for lv and friends, Turiya. But I haven't dealt with arrays much
[06:51] <punksnotdead83> fresh today yes
[06:52] <Turiya> k
[06:52] <sruli> go to Software & Updates, see whats checked in "ubuntu software" and "other software" tabs
[06:52] <punksnotdead83> @sruli but that never normally makes a difference... quite the opposite
[06:52] <sruli> punksnotdead83: ^
[06:53] <punksnotdead83> everything that should be checked is checked
[06:53] <punksnotdead83> including the jre-pheonix ppa
[06:55] <icedwater> I'm trying to add the jre-phoenix ppa now, it looks OK
[06:57] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: do your instructions look like these: https://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardian/wiki/pgl-Install-DebianUbuntu/
[06:57] <punksnotdead83> I keep getting unable to locate package.. etc
[06:57] <punksnotdead83> yes, that is the exact guide I always follow
[06:58] <icedwater> Hmm... clearly you have an Internet connection. The install seems to be OK on my end.
[06:58] <punksnotdead83> strange
[07:00] <punksnotdead83> this is what is really bothering me... It works one time but not another... I REALLY don't want to go back to windows
[07:00] <icedwater> I just installed and purged it. Yeah, I know. That's why I asked what the problem is. When do you see "unable to locate package"?
[07:01] <Helpmelinuxplz> Help Ubuntu install is asking me something.. I am doing alongside windows 8 and it is asking to format a few partitions from scsl1 to I think eti
[07:01] <punksnotdead83> when I input sudo apt-get install pgld pglcmd pglgui
[07:01] <Helpmelinuxplz> Any ideas
[07:01] <icedwater> Did you remember to update after adding the repository?
[07:02] <punksnotdead83> yes
[07:02] <icedwater> Helpmelinuxplz: SCSI to what now? I've never seen ETI.
[07:02] <Helpmelinuxplz> Let me go back to it
[07:02] <Helpmelinuxplz> I will type the message
[07:02] <Herbalist> Helpmelinuxplz.. backup your old system before you install
[07:02] <Helpmelinuxplz> Err hold on I'll connect to Firefox on the live USB. Brb
[07:04] <HelpmeLinux2> I'm in firefox now..
[07:04] <HelpmeLinux2> Let me get the message pulled up and put it in a pastebin
[07:04] <HelpmeLinux2> or the past ubuntu website :P
[07:05] <HelpmeLinux2> now who was the one that was helping me while i was on my phone?
[07:05] <HelpmeLinux2> Here is what the message is saying http://paste.ubuntu.com/23751051/
[07:06] <HelpmeLinux2> What is it asing??
[07:06] <punksnotdead83> I tried with aptitude and got "Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched"
[07:08] <HelpmeLinux2> Kindly awaiting your reply whoever was helping me on the phone :3
[07:08] <HelpmeLinux2> wheni was connected here via my phone :P
[07:09] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: welcome back :p
[07:09] <HelpmeLinux2> thanks icedwater
[07:10] <icedwater> It's a standard install step, HelpmeLinux2. It means one of your hard disks, recognised as sda, will be wiped clean and separated into two partitions.
[07:10] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater will i still have windows 8.1?
[07:10] <icedwater> Well, no. It looks like only 7 and 8 will be created. Do you see anything about sda1-sda6?
[07:11] <punksnotdead83> so will i just have to go back to windows?
[07:11] <HelpmeLinux2> nope icedwater it was that message exactly in full.
[07:11] <icedwater> You're using a graphical installer, right?
[07:11] <HelpmeLinux2> yea
[07:11] <marcAnthony> hi guys need some help. I have ubuntu desktop that does not resolve names anymore, still I can ping IP adresses with no problem
[07:11] <icedwater> marcAnthony: what do you see in /etc/resolv.conf?
[07:12] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater will it effect windows 8.1 install?
[07:12] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: I asked if you were using the GUI installer, because if you were, you should have seen an option that asks you if you want to install alongside your current Windows, etc
[07:13] <HelpmeLinux2> also what would happen if say next year me and Ubuntu decides to go our seperate ways per say.. will removing it be as easy as deleting the partition and repairing windows 8.1?
[07:13] <HelpmeLinux2> ok
[07:13] <icedwater> There should also be a list of other systems detected.
[07:13] <marcAnthony> icedwater> I see nothing (only default comment)
[07:13] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater would it be as easy as removing ubuntu partition if i decide to go back to windows only on this machine?
[07:13] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: what did you see in the screen before what you pasted?
[07:13] <HelpmeLinux2> I had the option of alongside windows.
[07:14] <icedwater> Yes, it should be just a matter of formatting the partition back into NTFS or FAT, or something Windows knows how to read.
[07:14] <icedwater> marcAnthony: hmm so your /etc/resolv.conf is empty?
[07:14] <HelpmeLinux2> o_o wait
[07:14] <icedwater> I mean, it contains just a comment
[07:14] <HelpmeLinux2> it'll format it to something that windows don't understand or will i be able to use windows 8.1 as fast as it is now
[07:15] <HelpmeLinux2> I'm a easy worried person..
[07:15] <Ben64> HelpmeLinux2: the best way to do it is fix windows boot first, then delete ubuntu partition
[07:15] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: good catch. Yes, by default ext4 partitions cannot be read in Windows. It will not affect your Windows install, though, if you choose to install it side-by-side.
[07:16] <icedwater> Ben64: that's assuming they want to revert. HelpmeLinux2 is asking about whether they should go ahead with http://paste.ubuntu.com/23751051/
[07:16] <punksnotdead83> anyone?
[07:16] <HelpmeLinux2> mhmm @ Ben64
[07:16] <marcAnthony> icedwater> yes, resolv.conf is empty (only comments inside) and  I have network manager configured as automatic
[07:16] <Ben64> punksnotdead83: anyone what
[07:17] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: I assume you selected "install alongside?" And I still don't know - you started the graphical installer, right?
[07:17] <punksnotdead83> anyone help? or have any ideas?
[07:17] <icedwater> Ben64: punksnotdead83 is trying to install pgld, it didn't work despite following the instructions on https://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardian/wiki/pgl-Install-DebianUbuntu/
[07:17] <ducasse> punksnotdead83: repeat your question
[07:18] <marcAnthony> I suspected a firewall rule blocking DNS requests but even local requests do not work
[07:18] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: let me scroll back to your aptitude comment first...
[07:18] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: oops, you did say you were using the graphical installer. Sorry.
[07:19] <marcAnthony> icedwater> I suspected a firewall rule blocking DNS requests but even local requests do not work
[07:19] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: what happens when you take a step back? Click the Previous or Back button, whatever it's called these days
[07:19] <icedwater> marcAnthony: I saw your comment, thanks for highlighting me again. Erm, let me think.
[07:19] <HelpmeLinux2> it hides the popup and has me back at the screen with the options to install alongside windows or not
[07:20] <ducasse> marcAnthony: if resolv.conf is blank the system does not know which server to use for resolving
[07:20] <Ben64> marcAnthony: you don't even have 127.0.1.1 in there?
[07:20] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: that's good, does it have a list of existing partitions? sda2, sda3, etc?
[07:20] <icedwater> Some of them should be marked as being Windows partitions in that case.
[07:21] <HelpmeLinux2> I just clicked something else to see what shows it shows..
[07:21] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: it looks like you don't have the PPA installed correctly, then
[07:21] <icedwater> Maybe try to add the repo again?
[07:22] <HelpmeLinux2> It shows /dev/sda, free space, /dev/sda1 ntfs, /dev/sda2 efi, /dev/sda3, /dev/sda4 ntfs, free space, /dev/sda5 ntfs, /dev/sda6 ntfs, free space
[07:22] <todd> hi
[07:23] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater
[07:24] <punksnotdead83> icedwater. I can assure you I do
[07:24] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: haha hi yeah
[07:24] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater that's what the something else option shows
[07:25] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: that looks good, so I suppose your Windows partitions are /dev/sda4, /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6
[07:25] <HelpmeLinux2> but my worry is what is the thing in the paste basically asking
[07:25] <icedwater> In any case, it looks like sda7 and sda8 are going to be created, with your Windows install intact
[07:25] <icedwater> So you should be fine with whatever options you selected before.
[07:26] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: I believe you too, but I'm not sure why else aptitude could be having issues with the repo
[07:26] <HelpmeLinux2> icedwater this will make windows run just the same and as fast as before?
[07:26] <punksnotdead83> I also removed it, tried to purge everything and redo the process, but still the same result
[07:27] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: it will run just the same, it shouldn't affect the speed of the Windows install, yes
[07:27] <HelpmeLinux2> ok :D
[07:27] <HelpmeLinux2> Thank you for the help.. Going to install it now or maybe tomorrow.
[07:27] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: maybe record the whole process using the script command, then paste that?
[07:27]  * HelpmeLinux2 brohoofs icedwater
[07:27] <icedwater> (the output file from the script command, that is.)
[07:27] <icedwater> HelpmeLinux2: heh you're welcome, all the best :)
[07:27] <punksnotdead83> forgive my newbishness, but how do I do that?
[07:28] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: I was also just reminded of its existence recently. :P In a terminal, which is where I assume you were entering the other commands, just run `script` first. Then the list of commands as usual.
[07:29] <punksnotdead83> okay
[07:29] <icedwater> Hmm, wait, it doesn't seem to capture error messages, just stdout...
[07:31] <icedwater> In any case, end the script session with ^D or exit. It's a forked shell
[07:32] <punksnotdead83> nothing happened
[07:32] <icedwater> Woah, trying to `cat` the typescript file inside tmux did a sort of exorcist thing
[07:33] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: so the idea is behind `script` is that it forks to another instance of bash (usually), then you do the thing you want to record in that shell. Once you're done recording, exit that shell, and the stuff that you did will be saved in a file called 'typescript'
[07:35] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: see, for instance, http://ix.io/1Pi0
[07:35] <punksnotdead83> can't locate typescript ... nothing "forked" no other shell... it just done what it has been doing... ppa adds, update runs, cannot locate package etc...
[07:36] <icedwater> Maybe then just manually copy/paste the output into gedit, or something, then pastebin that, please
[07:37] <punksnotdead83> the output from what?
[07:38] <icedwater> The output of the instructions you've been following.
[07:38] <punksnotdead83> sorry, I'm really confused...
[07:38] <sruli> i converted ~55k tif files to jpg when i run a fing *.jpg | wc -l i get just under 44k, what tool can i use to find files in .tif which do not have same name in .jpg?
[07:39] <icedwater> OK, once more from the top...
[07:39] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: you were following some instructions on sourceforge, right? To add the repository, update, and install pgld?
[07:40] <punksnotdead83> is this what you need? - http://pastebin.com/Qsg2Xc4y
[07:40] <icedwater> If you could record the whole process, with commands and output, we could look at what went wrong.
[07:41] <icedwater> Yeah, looks good, let me read it
[07:41] <icedwater> Ah, you chained them with &&
[07:41] <punksnotdead83> I done them seprately at first, just chained for convenience
[07:42] <icedwater> Sure, normally that would be fine, but if you notice there's an error in line 69 from another PPA
[07:42] <icedwater> http://ppa.launchpad.net/mjblenner/ppa-hal/ubuntu yakkety/main amd64 Packages
[07:42] <punksnotdead83> yep, that is one of my other problems, been trying to get DRM vieod to run
[07:43] <punksnotdead83> *videos
[07:43] <icedwater> Since that produced an error, the second step failed, so your last step trying to install pgld* wouldn't have run.
[07:43] <icedwater> Try running the pgld step by itself, that should be OK. Then resolve the other thing later :P
[07:43] <Ben64> punksnotdead83: wow you have a really messed up repo list
[07:44] <icedwater> Ben64: I suppose that's just the way one or two of those PPAs was organised. I've never seen DEP-11 and Icons, Metadata, etc before. Or I haven't been looking close enough.
[07:44] <punksnotdead83> http://pastebin.com/N09vegQn
[07:45] <Ben64> that's because pgl isn't in that ppa for your version
[07:45] <punksnotdead83> so will I have to edit source.file ?
[07:46] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: that's a separate issue, but Ben64 is probably right. Yakkety would be 16.10, right? I'm still on Xenial.
[07:46] <Ben64> well you can't get pgl from that ppa, and you really ought to fix whatever you did with hal
[07:46] <icedwater> I've stopped remembering codenames for some time now, it's been easier to use the numbers since I found out they corresponded to release dates
[07:47] <punksnotdead83> I would if I new how... I moved to ubuntu because people said it was the most user friendly.. but when you are used to windows it's a nightmare
[07:47] <Ben64> well you did some weird stuff
[07:47] <icedwater> Moving is always a pain, once you're settled in it's OK. And yes, Ubuntu is probably the most user-friendly of the Linux distributions, though I'd have to evaluate more to properly back that up.
[07:48] <punksnotdead83> I just tried to get flash player working... followed a tutorial and it said I had to install HAL
[07:48] <Ben64> theres your problem
[07:48] <punksnotdead83> is it?
[07:48] <punksnotdead83> so how can I fix it... please
[07:49] <punksnotdead83> should i maybe just re-install from scratch and start again without trying to get flash working?
[07:50] <Ben64> what were you trying to get flash working on
[07:50] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: that's a very Windows approach :p
[07:50] <punksnotdead83> any browser preferably opera... It sem-works but can't play DRM content
[07:50] <Ben64> ah
[07:51] <Ben64> well maybe just remove the one line that has the problem
[07:51] <joci> hii
[07:51] <icedwater> As Ben64 mentioned, pgld simply isn't available on 16.10, as far as I can see
[07:52] <punksnotdead83> But I it installed fine previously on 16.10
[07:52] <Ben64> but good news, peer guardian is pointless
[07:52] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: so you have two issues, one is trying to install pgld, and the other is trying to get Flash on Opera.
[07:53] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: so you said at the beginning. I'm not sure how you did it, though.
[07:53] <punksnotdead83> for starters yes, there are other problems but those are the main ones
[07:53] <punksnotdead83> pgld maybe usless to you, but not to me
[07:53] <Ben64> it's useless for everyone
[07:53] <icedwater> Ben64: you'll probably need to back that up
[07:53] <punksnotdead83> that is just your opinion
[07:53] <Ben64> it literally is pointless, it's like covering an error light with a piece of duct tape
[07:53] <punksnotdead83> anyway...
[07:54] <icedwater> Ben64: heh, OK. I don't use it, I wouldn't know.
[07:57] <fajarlaksono> cek
[07:57] <fajarlaksono> installing and runing android studio is very slow... how about you all?
[07:59] <punksnotdead83> omg... I fixed it
[08:01] <mxyzplx> Anyone around who's using budgie-remix?
[08:01] <punksnotdead83> maybe more bodged than fixed but it installed and is running
[08:01] <fajarlaksono> so quite in every channel...
[08:02] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: ooh what did you do?
[08:03] <icedwater> fajarlaksono: well... if you ask about android-studio in an Ubuntu support channel, what do you expect? :P
[08:03] <punksnotdead83> added the deb strings to my sources.list manually
[08:03] <icedwater> That's odd, the apt-add-repository should have done this
[08:03] <punksnotdead83> thats what I thought
[08:04] <jaurn> i can't log in, it says that my filesystem has errors in / and i don't know what to do
[08:04] <jaurn> is my system corrupt?
[08:04] <jaurn> please someone help
[08:04] <icedwater> jaurn: but you get to the login screen?
[08:04] <punksnotdead83> thanks for trying icedwater and others
[08:05] <jaurn> icedwater, no
[08:05] <icedwater> punksnotdead83: that was a really odd fix, though.
[08:05] <xXEoflaOEXx> jaurn, I think that you must run fsck on the drive that has errors.
[08:05] <punksnotdead83> From what I've learned about ubuntu, there is always more than one way to do something..
[08:06] <icedwater> Indeed, but I don't understand what went wrong with apt-add-blah
[08:06] <jaurn> i tried running fsck bu i says that there was an unexpected inconsistency and that i should run fsck manually
[08:06] <jaurn> i don't want to lose my data, please someone help me
[08:06] <jaurn> but it*
[08:06] <jaurn> the errors  are in /
[08:07] <icedwater> jaurn: maybe if you have an install or live USB you could boot to that and run fsck without mounting your main partition?
[08:07] <punksnotdead83> nope, me neither.. like I said it usually works fine..
[08:07] <jaurn> icedwater, im right now on a live usb
[08:07] <xXEoflaOEXx> jaurn, you may try (if you have a live USB) fsck on the partition that has errors.
[08:08] <jaurn> try fsck on /?
[08:08] <punksnotdead83> so, to my next issue...
[08:09] <punksnotdead83> how to get DRM content to run on ubuntu (preferably opera)
[08:09] <icedwater> jaurn: yes, whatever your / is. /dev/sda?
[08:09] <jaurn> my distro is on /dev/sda1 but it's saying that the errors are in /
[08:09] <xXEoflaOEXx> jaurn, Try fsck on the hard drive that has errors, /dev/sda1.
[08:09] <jaurn> icedwater, should i simply run fsck /dev/sda1?
[08:09] <icedwater> Hmm... / to your live distro is something else altogether, isn't it.
[08:09] <icedwater> Yup, xXEoflaOEXx is right
[08:09] <jaurn> okay
[08:12] <explodes> Here's a dumb question, if I have 2x4GB DDR3 RAM at 1066MHz, would adding 2x8GB DDR3 RAM at 1866 be detrimental?
[08:14] <icedwater> I suppose it would just give you 24GB of RAM at 1066MHz?
[08:15] <punksnotdead83> ^ you might have manually change the timings
[08:17] <linuxuser> hi, im on unity 16.04. is there a way for 'search my computer' to show all installed apps? it doesn't show office libre icons..
[08:26] <archer121_> hi I have been trying to install ubuntu on a dell workstation, and I am stuck with this grub error: "error: file '/boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found". I can see that there is a file called "/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/normal.mod". So how should I set the prefix correctly so that it detects the x86_64 normal.mod? Or is ther some other way around this?
[08:38] <akis> hi all. does anyone maybe know why 'weather report plugin' doesn't have available Astronomical Data and shows that: "Data not available, will use sane default values for night and day" and for that reason although it is night shows sun's icon instead of moon's icon? and also reports : Astronomical data: Last: 2016-11-22 07:06:47  Next:	2017-01-06 10:40:15 Current failed attempts: 18.

[08:43] <mxyzplx> If there are any Ubuntu Budgie Remix users around, was wondering if they could help with the new appindicator applet. I've installed it from the budgie-remix ppa, removed the system tray, restarted, added appindicator applet from raven, and... nothing. On two machines.
[08:44] <ducasse> mxyzplx: budgie is not supported here until 17.04, you better try a budgie channel

[10:10] <JediMaster> has anyone managed to get a onboard/chip intel graphics with a skylake CPU working in Ubuntu 16.04? I can't get more than 1024x768 on my 4k displayport monitor, even with the intel drivers for linux
[10:15] <wk-work> JediMaster: Have you tried the latest kernel ?
[10:16] <wafflejock> JediMaster, haven't tried but does xrandr not show the options or setting the mode fails? maybe this post will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/186288/how-to-detect-and-configure-an-output-with-xrandr
[10:18] <JediMaster> wk-work, the latest stable kernel from a simple apt-get upgrade works even less (display turns off into standby mode) - however, I'm installing 4.10-rc2 at the moment to try it
[10:18] <JediMaster> wafflejock, xrandr only shows 1024x768, I'll check out the link
[10:22] <tzmfen> i just installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS.. and i have  some processes eating ram rather alot.. freshly installed box
[10:22] <tzmfen> apache taking 200mb+ even tho there is only webmin
[10:23] <tzmfen> or wait there is actually quite a few www-data processes eating 200-260mb each
[10:25] <tzmfen> https://www.dropbox.com/s/viqee1mng0sel8x/ram%20usage.PNG?dl=0 reference to the high ram using processes
[10:25] <priporg> hi, i'm getting ata1.0 failed to set xfermode...I've tried two kernel boot options (irqpoll libdata.force=noncq) but still getting the error. any help appreciated.
[10:26] <tzmfen> https://www.dropbox.com/s/1t1x1qab32k39sc/Screenshot%202017-01-06%2010.25.52.png?dl=0  htop screenshot aswell
[10:30] <k1l_> !webmin | tzmfen
[10:30] <pjm6> good morning
[10:30] <pjm6> i'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and I can't find the file 70-persistent-net-rules
[10:31] <tzmfen> ubottu: aah
[10:31] <tzmfen> so webmin maybe the source of the memory leaks
[10:31] <pjm6> If i understood right, it doesn't exist anymore, so there's an alternative in order to change the interfaces names?
[10:31] <k1l_> tzmfen: and you might want to see the linuxatemyram.com explanation why your ram usage is way less than you think
[10:31] <priporg> hi, i'm getting boot error: "ata1.0 failed to set xfermode...". I've tried two kernel boot options (irqpoll libdata.force=noncq) but still getting the error. any help appreciated.
[10:32] <tzmfen> kil no its way more than i think
[10:32] <k1l_> tzmfen: can you show a "free -m " on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[10:32] <tzmfen> 2sec
[10:33] <tzmfen> kil do it as root ?
[10:34] <k1l_> tzmfen: no
[10:34] <wafflejock> tzmfen, regular user
[10:34] <tzmfen> ah sec
[10:34] <tzmfen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23751553/
[10:34] <tzmfen> there it is
[10:35] <k1l_> so you have 128mb ram used.
[10:35] <tzmfen> kil so webmin etc is not to be trusted ?
[10:35] <k1l_> i think that is ok, for a linux server
[10:36] <k1l_> tzmfen: i would not trust webmin at all, as already showed by the bot that it was kicked of the repos.
[10:36] <tzmfen> ah ok
[10:37] <tzmfen> is there similar web controllers than webmin?
[10:37] <tzmfen> free that is
[10:38] <k1l_> most admins handle that on the cli.
[10:38] <k1l_> and projects having a good web gui want to keep it to their project only. so most admins use the cli over ssh
[10:39] <priporg> hi, i'm getting boot error: "ata1.0 failed to set xfermode...". I've tried two kernel boot options (irqpoll libdata.force=noncq) but still getting the error. any help appreciated.
[10:39] <tzmfen> kil_ i do it on terminal aswell
[10:39] <Zen> Then why do you want a web admin too?
[10:39] <tzmfen> but the other half of me who is also working on the server is not terminal savy
[10:40] <Zen> eh, hiding being web admin to do those things will only ensure you wont ever learn, :)
[10:40] <k1l_> tzmfen: imho, making things easy to click to people who doesnt have a clue, doenst make it better at all.
[10:40] <tzmfen> true
[10:40] <piet> #ubuntu-server
[10:40] <tzmfen> i didnt say its "better"
[10:41] <mcphail> Didn't the ubottu factoid previously recommend an alternative to webmin?

[11:01] <creisiloca> Hello there, I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and suffering a bug quite often. While typing, sometimes, a key won't be released, ever, so it will keep being written forever in whatever input or app you focus on. Suspending will fix the problem. I've read some bug reports commenting this issue but they are old. Is it a known issue nowadays? Any idea what could be the cause? Thanks in advance
[11:02] <bones> mozammel: I've done "apt-get install unity-tweak-tool" but now I don't know how to launch it. Does it have another name after installation?
[11:02] <mozammel> bones: just search from over view "tweak-tool"
[11:02] <cfhowlett> hardware problem?  clean the cookie crumbs from the keyboard?
[11:03] <mozammel> or you can run it from terminal just type $ unity-tweak-tool
[11:04] <bones> I did it in the terminal, and now unfortunately it shows me: http://cxg.de/_a70224.htm
[11:06] <k1l_> bones: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[11:06] <mozammel> bones: seems dependent packages not installed, do you have synaptic-package-manager ? if , then uninstall unity-tweak-tool and install it from synaptic-package-manager, it will autometically include all the necessary dependent package
[11:06] <k1l_> bones: and with what command exactly did you install it?
[11:06] <bones> okay, thanks. I'll try.
[11:07] <k1l_> mozammel: bones no need for synaptic here
[11:08] <k1l_> mozammel: bones apt will inlcuded the dependencies too. but i guess there was some special command used or there is something more wrong with the system
[11:08] <zhengsheng> good
[11:08] <mozammel> k1l_: may be. I have no idea, for me it just worked.
[11:08] <bones> okay. Hm. I'll try to google the problem with com.canonical.notify-osd
[11:09] <k1l_> bones: can you answer my questions?
[11:09] <bones> ah sorry I didn't see it. I installed it with "sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool"
[11:10] <k1l_> ok, that should install all the dependencies like synaptic does.
[11:10] <k1l_> bones: what ubuntu is that exactly?
[11:10] <bones> xubuntu 16.04
[11:11] <k1l_> bones: do you have unity installed on the xubuntu base?
[11:11] <bones> I'm not sure, I don't think so
[11:11] <k1l_> bones: you are using unity?
[11:12] <k1l_> because xubuntu doesnt use unity.
[11:12] <bones> there is an application "ubuntu tweak" installed. but it seems to be another application.
[11:12] <bones> no i don't use inity
[11:12] <Vick_> hola
[11:12] <bones> hi
[11:12] <k1l_> bones: so why do you want to install unity-tweak-tool then?
[11:12] <cfhowlett> ubuntu-tweak != unity-tweak
[11:13] <mozammel> bones: what is your DE ? unity ? and ubuntu version ?
[11:13] <bones> because I thought that only unity-tweak-tool is right for doing interactive corners
[11:13] <k1l_> bones: unity is the desktop used on ubuntu. if you run xubuntu you use xfce as desktop. unity-tweak-tool is the wrong program then
[11:13] <l0llip0p> bones: no in xubuntu :) Xubuntu uses xfce over unity
[11:14] <bones> how do I look up the destribution?
[11:14] <bones> ok k1l_, thank you
[11:14] <k1l_> bones: the distribution is not important. the desktop in use is. xubuntu uses xfce.
[11:14] <l0llip0p> bones: you can create extra panels from menu and make then invisible
[11:15] <cfhowlett> bones, dpkg -l | grep xfce*
[11:16] <bones> http://cxg.de/_83c223.htm
[11:16] <k1l_> bones: ok, so unity-tweak-tool is the wrong program
[11:16] <bones> l0llip0p: sorry I don't get your advice
[11:17] <bones> I want to make the lower right corner to minimize everything and to maximize again when I go with the mouse pointer there again
[11:17] <bones> Probably it's easier to create a shortcut, isn't it?
[11:17] <k1l_> bones: you will have to a solution for xfce/xubuntu for that.
[11:18] <l0llip0p> bones: hmn.. .Well you can create extra panel for that one to right corner.
[11:18] <cfhowlett> bones, right click on the panel > Panel > Add New Items > Show Desktop
[11:19] <cfhowlett> if future, giving accurate information expedites accurate answers
[11:19] <l0llip0p> bones: but perhaps in #xfce channel is the right place since I don't remember how xfce works :)
[11:23] <bones> cfhowlett: thanks man! It works. This is the upper right corner and I have to click on it but I have to admit it's quite comfortable tough.
[11:23] <bones> though
[11:23] <cfhowlett> bones so move it to the bottom panel.  same process
[11:24] <bones> cfhowlett: how do I move down?
[11:25] <cfhowlett> bones, make a bottom panel.  right click on the panel>>>
[11:25] <bones> ah, ok
[11:28] <Hulio> Hi guys
[11:29] <bones> cfhowlett: I use plank for symbols in the dock. Plank-docking-panel is usually minimized. If I create a bottom panel, plank is going to be shown during the whole time. I better leave the desktop-showing-symbol in the upper corner. It's pretty nice! Thank you =)
[11:29] <cfhowlett> happy2help
[11:29] <cfhowlett> also #xubuntu and #xfce are things ...
[11:30] <bones> ok
[11:31] <l0llip0p> hi Hulio
[11:54] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[11:57] <l0llip0p> SebthreeBQM10HD: hi

[12:19] <amer> what is this programe?
[12:19] <zamba> but 'df -h' says there's 1.1G available
[12:19] <zamba> what's going on?
[12:20] <amer> this is the first time
[12:20] <k1l_> zamba: can you show a "df -h" and "df -i" on paste.ubuntu.com ?
[12:20] <k1l_> !irc | amer
[12:20] <amer> how can i use this programe?
[12:22] <zamba> k1l_: ah, i'm out of inodes
[12:22] <zamba> k1l_: df -i shows i'm all out
[12:23] <k1l_> zamba: yes, get rid of old kernels and old kernel header packages
[12:23] <k1l_> "dpkg -l | grep linux-headers"
[12:24] <zamba> k1l_: how do i automatically remove all old kernels?
[12:25] <k1l_> zamba: "echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -V | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge"
[12:25] <k1l_> that will remove old kernels and kernel headers
[12:25] <zamba> k1l_: older than the running one? or will it also remove all kernels between the running one and the newest?
[12:26] <k1l_> it will remove all kernels but the latest 2
[12:26] <zamba> k1l_: awesome
[12:26] <zamba> k1l_: and the current running one?
[12:28] <k1l_> also removed.
[12:28] <zamba> is that ok?
[12:28] <k1l_> but that is only affected after reboot
[12:40] <Guest31849> hola
[12:40] <GroundZero1> hello there
[12:41] <GroundZero1> a real quick queistion: is an older kernel (e.g. debian) more secure or is a newer kernel (e.g. in archlinux) more secure)?
[12:42] <cfhowlett> GroundZero1, take it to ##linux or #ubuntu-offtopic please.  thank you.
[12:43] <GroundZero1> damn..
[12:43] <GroundZero1> i knew ubuntu noobs don't know a shit about linux
[12:43] <GroundZero1> thanks anyway
[12:44] <l0llip0p> wow somebody acts like dusch
[12:44] <pedro_> /Server:Chicago.IL.US.Undernet.org
[12:44] <pedro_> lol
[12:44] <GroundZero1> yes, by not answering a simple question
[12:44] <GroundZero1> a "newer is more secure" or "older kernel is more secure"
[12:44] <GroundZero1> that's it
[12:45] <GroundZero1> instead, let's give him our policy and send him away..
[12:45] <pedro_> lol
[12:45] <pedro_> pardon bye
[12:45] <cfhowlett> GroundZero1, profanity and hostility will get you nothing in this channel.  goodbye now
[12:47] <Citizen_> Hi, I have 2 ZFS partitions to which I can access normally from console or nautilus. The problem is they don't appear as a big icon in my desktop or in Nautilus. In system monitor the filesystems don't appear too. I have to navigate from root to the mount point to access the files. Is there any fix for this so zfs partitions are displayed in nautilus like ext4 partitions?
[12:48] <Citizen_> I could create a shortcut but it would be better the systems detects this partitions just like the others
[13:01] <Orxata_> hi
[13:01] <jpd> test
[13:02] <Orxata_> main_delegate.cc(752)] Could not load cef_extensions.pak
[13:02] <Orxata_> what does that mean?
[13:02] <Orxata_> and how can i solve it?

[13:03] <Orxata_> ok
[13:03] <Orxata_> I'm using ubuntu 12.04, and when I try to start spotify it raises that error
[13:04] <Orxata_> (and two seconds later it crashes)
[13:04] <Orxata_> I can't give you much more information
[13:05] <cfhowlett> Orxata_, https://solus-project.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2691
[13:06] <Orxata_> ok
[13:06] <Orxata_> xD
[13:06] <Orxata_> thank you
[13:07] <Orxata_> hmfff
[13:07] <Orxata_> more errors
[13:07] <Orxata_> I don't understand why
[13:07] <Orxata_> It usually worked
[13:07] <ioria> Orxata_, try to backup or  remove  ~/.config/spotify and ~/.cache/spotify
[13:08] <cfhowlett> seems like a cross platform issue = ask spotify support?
[13:10] <Orxata_> ok
[13:20] <Orxata_> meh, downgrading to 0.9.17 is a "solution"
[13:20] <r0man> is there a way to make resolv.conf changes permanent? just need to change the dns
[13:21] <netcrime> Hello. I'm freelance developer and I want to build a desktop notifier of new jobs that would be scraped from popular freelance boards. I will use Python for job scraping and now I'm trying to decide how/which desktop notifier to use for Ubuntu OS. I know that there is notify-send but it is very limited and not suits my needs. I need to be able to put link in notification bubble and have more control over design. I failed to find any
[13:21] <netcrime> proper solution so far. Maybe you have any suggestions? Build custom with Tkinter/Qt ? Use javascript? Any other options?
[13:29] <romrom> netcrime, libnotify is what you want
[13:29] <netcrime> romrom: I'll check that
[13:29] <netcrime> thanks
[13:29] <romrom> netcrime, np
[13:32] <TSmandy> KillDisk Ransomware Targets Linux; Demands $250,000 Ransom, But Won't Decrypt Files http://j.gs/8gBU
[13:32] <netcrime> romrom: I've checked wrapper for Python but I don't think it is posible to just add URL to body. http://www.devdungeon.com/content/desktop-notifications-python-libnotify
[13:33] <xangua> r0man: use the network manager icon for that
[13:34] <romrom> netcrime, I don't know the precise limitations (only used it once), but it is the best bet you have on a cross-desktop notification system
[13:34] <DJones> ioria: Just as an update on yesterdays black screen after login, nothing I did seemed to fix it for the user, I ended up having to backup /home (which had virtually nothing in anyway), delete the user & files, re-add the user and restore /home & just reconfigure the unity bar
[13:35] <romrom> netcrime, otherwise you're back to doing it from scratch and chances are high you won't get it working everywhere
[13:35] <romrom> netcrime, you could also look at how vlc is doing it, I don't think they're using libnotify and it seems to be working well
[13:37] <ioria> DJones, i see ... the xsession-error file seemed to point to a pkg, 'click'
[13:38] <ioria> !info click
[13:39] <ioria> DJones, i may think to a startup script
[13:41] <DJones> ioria: Could have been, certainly not something I'd changed myself.  At least is repaired anyway, but thanks for the suggestions

[13:42] <yenclgj5nlw> Hi all. After I have made apt upgrade (I use padoka ppa for drivers) I have xorg non-startable. Ehat should I do?
[13:43] <yenclgj5nlw> *What
[13:44] <ioria> yenclgj5nlw, why do yo use that ppa?
[13:45] <yenclgj5nlw> ioria: It has drivers with OpenCL for my card
[13:46] <ioria> yenclgj5nlw, which is ?
[13:47] <yenclgj5nlw> ioria: ???
[13:47] <ioria> yenclgj5nlw, your card
[13:47] <yenclgj5nlw> amd nothern islands
[13:47] <ioria> oh
[13:48] <yenclgj5nlw> ioria: should I downgrade something?
[13:48] <ioria> yenclgj5nlw, what happens if i say 'purge that ppa !' ? :þ
[13:51] <yenclgj5nlw> ioria: it will be shit, I guess. How can I downgrade packages to the previous versions?
[13:51] <ikonia> yenclgj5nlw: please try not to swear
[13:51] <yenclgj5nlw> the previous ones were also from that ppa
[13:56] <boxrick1> I have a simple question. If a fully unattended pre-seeded install is going on, is there any way to pause that install or make it stop somehow?
[13:57] <ikonia> beardedeagle: not really
[13:57] <beardedeagle> wat?
[13:58] <ikonia> beardedeagle: sorry, that was for boxrick1
[13:59] <^eagle^> chan lists
[13:59] <^eagle^> ls
[13:59] <boxrick1> ikonia: I must be able to kill the process or something? I am happy to just break it
[14:00] <ikonia> boxrick1: power off the box
[14:00] <ikonia> boxrick1: swap to a different tty and kill it
[14:01] <boxrick1> Any ideas on the process I need to kill?
[14:01] <boxrick1> Saying that it should be quite obvious if I look I imagine
[14:01] <ikonia> basically the process will be the "task" the presseed is running at that time
[14:02] <ikonia> if you kill it, it will terminate it, so you'll kill ubiquity based taks
[14:02] <boxrick1> Cool thats what I wanted to hear, thought it may re-spawn or have a weird handler to keep it alive.
[14:02] <boxrick1> Cheers
[14:03] <ikonia> boxrick1: I don't think it does
[14:03] <ikonia> %85 certain it will just die
[14:04] <boxrick1> Not sure 85% will be enough... can you be 86% for me ?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:05] <boxrick1> Anyway cheers again :) Greatly appreciated!

[14:06] <BluesKaj> Hi boxrick1
[14:15] <whallz> i have an issue with xbacklight not working properly to set brightness, if i echo to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness as root it works, but if i echo as my user, even with sudo, it says permission denied, what is wrong? the file reads -rw-r--r-- and owned by root:root
[14:15] <whallz> should i chown a file in that /sys dir? or at least chgrp?
[14:15] <whallz> why it doesnt work with sudo is what i dont understand
[14:16] <whallz> acpi events trigger ok when i press the keys, and xbacklight is called properly, so its definitely this permissions issue whats not allowing my user to set brightness
[14:16] <Pici> whallz: sudo does not cross IO redirection operators (>/>>).  Use tee instead, like: echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness   (append -a if you normally use >>)
[14:17] <whallz> oooooh
[14:17] <whallz> didnt know that, thanks for that #bash insight
[14:17] <Pici> np :)
[14:17] <ASA094> Hey, can anyone help me
[14:17] <ASA094> ?*
[14:18] <ASA094> I've forgot the BIOS password
[14:18] <whallz> ok that did it Pici, but still i cannot make it work with the xbacklight program
[14:18] <whallz> even when running as root
[14:19] <whallz> is it safe to just echo to /sys instead of using xbacklight ?
[14:19] <Pici> whallz: yep
[14:19] <redhood> Hi, i just visited the Ubuntu website, to download the Desktop version of 16.04.1, and was forwarded to a site which sort of demands me to pay for Ubuntu, namely https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/contribute?version=16.04.1&architecture=amd64
[14:20] <redhood> I do not really mind donating to Ubuntu, but I find the wording a bit misleading
[14:21] <Pici> redhood: I don't see any "demands" there.  Just click the link on the bottom left if you don't want to donate.
[14:21] <DJones> redhood: Just click, "Not now, take me to the download"
[14:21] <whallz> Pici: k, ty
[14:22] <DJones> redhood: Its on the same line as the "Pay with paypall" box
[14:22] <redhood> Pici: I know that you can get around that site, but I really think one should not use the word "pay" in relation to downloading an open source software
[14:23] <Pici> redhood: I agree that it could use some intro, saying something like what Wikipedia has when its asking for donations.
[14:24] <redhood> Pici: yes, that would be a good idea to avoid misunderstandings, maybe not as intrusive as the wp banner ;)
[14:26] <redhood> ASA094: if its a desktop computer, there should be a jumper to disconnecte cmos power supply from the battery, or just take out the battery for some seconds
[14:27] <ASA094> Oh, thank you redhoodd
[14:27] <ASA094> it is a notebook, I've already tried to remove the BIOS battery but it didn't worked
[14:27] <redhood> ASA094: but that will also imply all other bios settings are lost
[14:28] <pisya> helooo
[14:28] <pisya> heyuhiiii
[14:28] <pisya> eeeoneguy
[14:28] <pisya> i am pisya
[14:28] <redhood> ASA094: ic...in that case i guess you should contact the vendor/producer, or try to find some model related information on the web
[14:28] <pisya> i am good

[14:29] <aokimanaga> Goodmorning everyone
[14:32] <sztanpet> anybody have any idea why i would be getting a "Server refused to allocate pty" when trying to log in with ssh on ubuntu 16.10?
[14:35] <bgray_> Any tips for choppy flash playback in Firefox?
[14:35] <aokimanaga> I've a big problem. A macbook with no optical drive and with a non-bootable usb port where I want to install Ubuntu and a working netbook with Windows/Ubuntu. The only way to boot or install something on the mac is through a netboot server but I didn't understand so much about it. Can someone help me to solve this problem?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> aokimanaga, non bootable usb ?...perhaps put it first in the boot sequence in your uefi/bios
[14:37] <aokimanaga> BluesKaj: on the macbook you can boot only osx images through usb :(
[14:38] <BluesKaj> right, I should have read further :/
[14:39] <tayzar> Hello ! Everybody Good Night
[14:39] <tayzar> bye ^ ^
[14:39] <aokimanaga> anyway I was really interested in knowing more about the netboot servers and netinstallation but I'm not so good in understanding how does it works
[14:41] <k_sze> I keep getting "E: Failed to fetch http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/snapd-glib/snapd-login-service_1.2-0ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb  403  Forbidden"
[14:41] <k_sze> Would somebody like to take a look at the Hong Kong mirrors and see what's going on?
[14:42] <ikonia> k_sze: looks like that mirror is broke
[14:42] <ikonia> up to http://hk.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/s works
[14:43] <k_sze> yeah
[14:43] <k_sze> looks like they are missing the whole snapd-glib directory
[14:44] <gear4_> hey guys
[14:44] <gear4_> sorry wrong channel
[14:45] <k_sze> I'm going to switch to tw mirror temporarily.
[14:47] <gear4_> hey guys
[14:47] <gear4_> #debian isn't even replying so I'm just gonna ask here
[14:47] <ikonia> gear4_: please don't
[14:47] <ikonia> gear4_: we don't pickup the debian support channels questions
[14:47] <gear4_> ikonia: it's affecting ubuntu too
[14:48] <gear4_> 16.10
[14:48] <gear4_> so I will ask here too
[14:48] <gear4_> I'm trying to chroot to existing archlinux install on my PC but /dev doesn't display any of my partitions or drives
[14:48] <gear4_> however lsblk works perfectly
[14:48] <ikonia> gear4_: I just asked you not to
[14:48] <gear4_> in a live disk *
[14:49] <gear4_> ikonia: I saw, and it's also related to ubuntu
[14:49] <ikonia> it's not
[14:49] <gear4_> so it's on-topic and correct
[14:49] <gear4_> yes it is
[14:49] <ikonia> no, it's not
[14:49] <gear4_> because it does the same in 16.10
[14:49] <ikonia> are you booted into the 16.10 livecd now ?
[14:50] <gear4_> I was 10 minutes ago
[14:50] <gear4_> my PC's off now
[14:50] <gear4_> fixed it myself anyway
[14:50] <Blaatkip> hi guys, im trying to install pip on ubuntu, but terminal keeps spitting out: E: Unable to locate package python-pip, is it safe to install it trough get-pip.py?
[14:50] <gear4_> just wanna know if you know why
[14:51] <gear4_> Blaatkip: which version of ubuntu ?
[14:51] <Blaatkip> i also got some errors wile performing a simple apt-get update & upgrade
[14:52] <gear4_> welp
[14:52] <Blaatkip> 16.04
[14:52] <gear4_> you get errors with update ? what
[14:52] <gear4_> what errors *
[14:53] <Blaatkip> cp: cannot create regular file '/cdrom/casper/initrd.gz.new': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text (--unpack
[14:53] <gear4_> Blaatkip: is your apt sources including cdrom ?
[14:53] <ikonia> Blaatkip: you're trying to update a ready only file system
[14:54] <ikonia> read
[14:54] <Blaatkip> i'm running from a live usb, cant update those?
[14:54] <ikonia> Blaatkip: no
[14:54] <ikonia> Blaatkip: it's trying to update a kernel package
[14:54] <ikonia> Blaatkip: thats running on a read only compressed file system
[14:55] <Blaatkip> still dont see why i wouldnt be able to install pip tho
[14:55] <gear4_> apt-get update doesn't download updates except for apt
[14:55] <gear4_> apt-get upgrade does
[14:55] <ikonia> Blaatkip: what was the exact command you run ?
[14:55] <gear4_> so why is it doing that with update ?
[14:55] <ikonia> Blaatkip: it's taking more than pip
[14:56] <gear4_> I'm guessing he's doing apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[14:56] <Blaatkip> no
[14:56] <Blaatkip> i did a update first
[14:56] <Blaatkip> then tried install pip
[14:56] <Blaatkip> that didnt work
[14:56] <Blaatkip> after that i tried upgrade
[14:56] <Blaatkip> and now its messed up i guess
[14:56] <gear4_> is that the error from update ?
[14:57] <gear4_> I'm guessing
[14:57] <Blaatkip> no, its from upgrade, update didnt give me any errors
[14:57] <gear4_> it worked fine ?
[14:57] <Blaatkip> update did, yes
[14:58] <gear4_> you said you got errors using update and upgrade
[14:58] <Blaatkip> oh wait
[15:01] <Blaatkip> so i'll need to install ubuntu on a harddrive in order to install pip?
[15:01] <Blaatkip> ** (appstreamcli:16521): CRITICAL **: Error while moving old database out of the way. AppStream cache update failed.
[15:01] <ikonia> Blaatkip: no
[15:02] <ikonia> Blaatkip just keep in mind anything you install on the "live" media is on memory only
[15:02] <Blaatkip> so everything i install, will be gone after reboot?
[15:02] <ikonia> Blaatkip: thats right
[15:03] <Blaatkip> ok then why can't it find the pip package then?
[15:03] <ikonia> Blaatkip: how are you trying to install pip
[15:03] <Blaatkip> sudo apt-get install python-paramiko python-pip python-pycurl python-dev build-essential
[15:04] <ikonia> Blaatkip: so some of that install appears to be trying to backup a database
[15:04] <Blaatkip> and i cant
[15:04] <ikonia> (which is on a read only file system)
[15:05] <Blaatkip> so, i do need to install it on a harddrive then
[15:05] <Blaatkip> :P
[15:05] <Blaatkip> right, ikonia ?
[15:06] <ikonia> Blaatkip: I think you'll probably find it a lot more useful to work that way
[15:07] <Blaatkip> its just a 1 time thing, after that i dont need it anymore, so i was hoping i could do it like this thnx anyway, btw how do u know it tried to backup a database?

[15:47] <Everybodydothefl> Hey I need an assist & every google search I tried is just about useless
[15:47] <nicomachus> !ask | Everybodydothefl
[15:49] <Everybodydothefl> So I'm trying to run borderlands 2 on a new laptop. It's got a decent 4th gen I5, but Intel Hd graphics. Now I've run the game on Linux systems before with just intel HD graphics, but for some reason every time I try to launch the game, I just get a dialogue box with a horizontal line
[15:50] <nicomachus> are you running it through steam?
[15:52] <G-ShocK> I have a Bay Trail CPU, and am using 14.04. I get HWE EOL messages. What should I do?
[15:52] <nicomachus> G-ShocK: can you pastebin or screenshot those messages?
[15:53] <G-ShocK> nicomachus, sure, sec
[15:54] <qwebirc39356> Ok so somehow I got bounced
[15:54] <qwebirc39356> I googled high & low for a workaround on how to get it to work, because I've gotten it to work before, and there are TONS of vids of people showing they can do it, but none of them ever thought to actually whow HOW they did it. Everything else I look up is inane dribble like "It looks SOOOO good without the Black outlines" Great but how does that answer my question? "....... IT LUKZ SOOOO GUD WITHOUT THE BLACK OUTLINES" & queue 
[15:54] <qwebirc39356> And yes I am running it through steam
[15:54] <nicomachus> qwebirc39356: are you Everybodydothefl?
[15:54] <qwebirc39356> yes
[15:55] <nicomachus> ok. are you running the game through Steam?
[15:55] <qwebirc39356> I don't know why my freenode login isn't working right
[15:55] <qwebirc39356> yes I am
[15:55] <nicomachus> how are you launching steam?
[15:56] <qwebirc39356> desktop shortcut
[15:56] <G-ShocK> nicomachus, http://pastebin.com/EV5qj1qB
[15:56] <qwebirc39356> tried launching through terminal too
[15:56] <nicomachus> qwebirc39356: try launching it from terminal with the -verbose flag
[15:56] <nicomachus> qwebirc39356: and then launch borderlands, and see if you get any error messages in the terminal window.
[15:57] <nicomachus> G-ShocK: did you run "update-manager" in the dash like suggested there?
[15:58] <G-ShocK> nicomachus, I can't update to 16.04. I have a Bay Trail CPU. I hangs under newer kernels
[15:58] <nicomachus> G-ShocK: also, what does ' lsb_release -a ' give you from the terminal?
[15:58] <qwebirc39356> @nicomachus will paste the pastebin of the terminal output momentarily
[15:59] <nicomachus> G-ShocK: why did you go into the HWE upgrades then? why not stay in the 14.04 LTS line?

[16:01] <G-ShocK> ioria, 3.19.0-78-generic
[16:01] <nicomachus> qwebirc39356: please don't tell me you're on Mint.
[16:01] <ioria> G-ShocK, it's the vivid kernel, you can't run it anymore
[16:01] <nicomachus> G-ShocK: wait, what?
[16:01] <qwebirc39356> >_> maybe
[16:01] <qwebirc39356> I like the mintyness D:
[16:01] <nicomachus> !mint | qwebirc39356
[16:01] <ioria> G-ShocK, if you can't use 4.4 ker, you have to install the orifinal 3.13, i guess
[16:02] <G-ShocK> ioria, what do you mean I can't run it?
[16:02] <qwebirc39356> I take it mint has issues?
[16:02] <nicomachus> ioria G-ShocK but why is the 3.19 kernel on a system that says it 14.04.5
[16:02] <ioria> G-ShocK, without support
[16:02] <ioria> nicomachus, vivid hwe
[16:02] <qwebirc39356> ah ok
[16:02] <nicomachus> qwebirc39356: Mint is not supported here. It is not Ubuntu. You'll have to get help from the Mint folks on Spotchat.
[16:02] <qwebirc39356> I thought with it being an ubuntu fork & all
[16:02] <qwebirc39356> Ok thanks
[16:02] <G-ShocK> nicomachus, I don't recall doing anything special about it. Always apt-get release-upgrade

[16:09] <cygnux> Hey
[16:09] <arunpyasi> hello anyone around ?
[16:09] <BluesKaj> G-ShocK, then you're up to date
[16:09] <G-ShocK> BluesKaj, with the hwe, I assume
[16:10] <BluesKaj> of course depends on your package manager settings
[16:10] <G-ShocK> with the 'old' HWE
[16:11] <G-ShocK> can I just remove the HWE. My hardware is like three years old now
[16:11] <G-ShocK> ?
[16:13] <joebobjoe> Why can't I access this directory? https://gist.github.com/601b35c495ee7f3aa2740be928a98879

[16:13] <G-ShocK> what happens if I move from vivid to trident?
[16:14] <nicomachus> trident?
[16:14] <BluesKaj>  G-ShocK, if you want to be up to date the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial HWE Stack is available, check this out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/1404_HWE_EOL
[16:14] <G-ShocK> that's what it suggest when I sudo apt-get remove $(hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported)
[16:15] <G-ShocK> BluesKaj, I can't use 16.04. I have a Bay Trail CPU. It hangs when I go to 16.04
[16:15] <BluesKaj> G-ShocK, your hardware isn't "old"
[16:16] <G-ShocK> BluesKaj, 'old' would be good in this sense *grin*. It means I can use 14.04 w/o the HWE
[16:17] <compdoc> G-ShocK, it might not be the cpu. those Bay Trails are almost the same as any desktop cpu, just uses less power
[16:17] <compdoc> Id love to have an 8 core bay trail
[16:17] <G-ShocK> compdoc, It's the bay trail. there's a bugzilla about it :D
[16:17] <compdoc> ah

[16:28] <Bombo> hi
[16:29] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: My bad. Have you tried unistaling/purging the package then reinstalling?

[16:36] <CryptoSiD> k00l3th4n i can't it would crash all the wallet on the VM
[16:37] <MacroMan> Usage: pdf2svg <in file.pdf> <out file.svg>
[16:39] <MacroMan> Think I've found a way: pdf2svg my.pdf /dev/stdout
[16:40] <Pici> MacroMan: maybe replacing the latter argument with - ?
[16:41] <MacroMan> Pici, Thanks. I think I've got it using /dev/stdout as the second arg
[16:41] <MacroMan> Using - creates a file called -

[16:46] <Soul_Sample> hey! what's the easiest way to uninstall proposed updates and not break anything. can I just disable the repo and do an upgrade or something like that?
[16:46] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: The system didn't need the package before you tried to install it. You use be able to remove it safely and the purge and reinstall.
[16:48] <Bombo> i'm trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS to 16.x LTS with 'do-release-upgrade' i got the same problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/842706/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-if-i-get-authenticating-the-upgrade-failed 'gpg: BAD signature'
[16:48] <Jordan_U> MacroMan: Probably want to delete that file named "-". It could lead to confusion in the future.
[16:48] <CryptoSiD> k00l3th4n i mean wallet like bitcoin wallet, i dont dare to try to remove it
[16:48] <timyp> Soule_sample why do you want to uninstall updates and which ones do you want removed?
[16:49] <CryptoSiD> I tried but it doesnt work
[16:49] <timyp> *  Soul_sample  ^^
[16:49] <CryptoSiD> result: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23752960/
[16:49] <Soul_Sample> timyp: i enabled the proposed repository to fix a certain bug with the appstream package, but ended up breaking my network manager. I can live with the appstream error, but not with the network manager issues so I'd just rather disable proposed and just remove everything that got installed from there
[16:50] <Quantibility> Can someone please help. I tried not to put myself through this but i do. ANYHOW, i was interested in finally making use of the Fingerprint scanner that this lap top has built in. So, i did, but the darn thing wouldn't work untill AFTER i had entered my password. I looked up on google how to fix this, Now im here, on a guest account because Grub Doesn't help cause my Home folder is encrypted,. I changed the file under
[16:50] <Quantibility> /etc/pam.d   Common-auth.. logged out, and now my account ALWAYS says inccorect TRY again with the "Retry" constantly on screen and can't enter a password.
[16:51] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: Okay, I figured that's what you meant. If your wallet has a seed then you will be able to recover if it crashes.
[16:51] <timyp> Soul_Sample does this help https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=432636
[16:51] <CryptoSiD> they havent crashed fnially, but i wont be able to recompile if there is an update on github repo
[16:51] <Quantibility> even alt f1 won't let me input my credentials.
[16:51] <CryptoSiD> i guess the ubuntu dev team will fix that, or should i report the bug
[16:52] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: What I'm saying is you should be able to unistall/purge libcrypto++-dev as you didn't have it before. Then you can reistall it, because something went wrong the first attempt.
[16:52] <CryptoSiD> I did k00l3th4n see: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23752960/
[16:52] <CryptoSiD> i removed libcrypto++9 libcrypto++-dev and tried to reinstall but i get the same error
[16:53] <CryptoSiD> but the -f fix it now
[16:53] <Quantibility> I made a copy of the orginal Common-auth but put on my desktop i tried copy from that and replace but because i have an encrypted home folder i can't seem to access it
[16:53] <timyp> CryptoSiD does sudo apt-get -f install help resolve?
[16:54] <CryptoSiD> before removnig then reinstalling apt-get -f install wasnt helping, but after it worked fine
[16:54] <CryptoSiD> all good now thanks k00l3th4n
[16:55] <Quantibility> Anyone give my problem a looky loo?
[16:56] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: What fixed it? And when you remove a package go ahead and purge it with sudo apt-get --purge remove package*
[16:56] <CryptoSiD> I usually use the --purge :)
[16:57] <timyp> Quantibility were do you see these errors at? on the console, ssh session, where?
[16:58] <k00l3th4n> CryptoSiD: Okay, cool. Wasn't sure. Just trying to help incase you didn't know. Glad the problem is fixed.
[16:58] <Quantibility> timyp, the login screen i believe its called "lightdm"?

[17:31] <joebobjoe> ...if that makes sense
[17:31] <Zaicran> share it our nfs?
[17:31] <Zaicran> out*
[17:31] <akik> joebobjoe: if you set it to mode 777 anybody can read & write to it
[17:32] <blacknred0> hi - i just started having issues trying to connect to hotmail when using ubuntu...  i've tried everything and nothing works... any thoughts?
[17:32] <akik> joebobjoe: but mode 777 usually is a bad idea
[17:32] <k1l_> joebobjoe: the mounting OS decides about the permissions. so your question doesnt make sense.
[17:32] <blacknred0> i've done all of this -> https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/PVHlQutFIrU
[17:34] <joebobjoe> k1l_: so there is no "permission-less" file system?
[17:34] <joebobjoe> What about FAT?
[17:34] <k1l_> blacknred0: what is the issue exactly? what browser is in use? what error do you see?
[17:35] <blacknred0> k1l_: is trying to log in... it seems to redirect and nothing happens
[17:35] <blacknred0> it works on FF with no issues
[17:35] <k1l_> joebobjoe: most usb-pendrives use fat due to compatibility with windows boxes. and that is permissions less.
[17:36] <Zaicran> blacknred0: sound slike a chrome issue, not a Ubuntu issue then?
[17:36] <k1l_> blackso you have a chrome issue? not a ubuntu issue? did you try without addons and clean profile? do you have the latest chrome version?
[17:36] <blacknred0> Zaicran: may be :) ... is there a chrome IRC?
[17:36] <blacknred0> k1l_: ^
[17:36] <akik> if fat is mounted on linux, it'll get the user's permissions
[17:37] <akik> i.e. other users can't write to it
[17:37] <joebobjoe> k1l_: any other permission less partition formats?
[17:37] <k1l_> joebobjoe: i dont see your issue, to be honest.
[17:37] <sandhour> joebobjoe: you should check that the usb partition table is MBR and the fs is fat for compatibility with others operating systems
[17:38] <Zaicran> join #chrome
[17:38] <k1l_> sandhour: joebobjoe usb pendrives dont have partitions in most cases. they only have the FS on the bare metal
[17:38] <sandhour> joebobjoe: on most system also exfat works (for larger drivers)
[17:39] <guest-yk1e4k> Can someone help me im stuck out of my home account
[17:39] <k1l_> joebobjoe: so what issue do you have? or is this just theoretical?
[17:39] <Zaicran> guest-yk1e4k: What do you mean stuck out of...can you describe your problem better?
[17:40] <k1l_> guest-yk1e4k: what happened?
[17:40] <joebobjoe> k1l_: I just want to treat an external usb storage device as a file dump.. I don't want who owns what and other permissions to be stored on it
[17:41] <EriC^^> joebobjoe: use ntfs
[17:41] <k1l_> joebobjoe: yes. and as i explained: the permissions are not stored on the device. the mounting OS sets those permissions.
[17:41] <akik> joebobjoe: 1) mount ext4 usb stick partition 2) chmod 777 /media/username/usbstick. this is not the best solution but one that works
[17:42] <k1l_> joebobjoe: so the standard for mixed OS usage is fat. since windows cant write on ext4 by default
[17:42] <guest-yk1e4k> i wanted to use my fingerprint scanner on my computer, i followed directions, it worked but only AFTER i input my password, so i looked online to fix it, i made one changes to my Common-Auth, which i saved on my DESKTOP, NOW, it says "user authrizaiton failed" and the "Retry" option is displayed but can't click on it.
[17:42] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: Do you have an encrypted home directory?
[17:42] <guest-yk1e4k> Jordan_U, yes
[17:43] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: Then there is no way around needing to enter a password to log in.
[17:43] <joebobjoe> k1l_: well that sucks.
[17:43] <k1l_> joebobjoe: i dont see you issue
[17:44] <joebobjoe> It's just weird that a drive shared among multiple systems would store permissions
[17:44] <joebobjoe> You may not have the same UID on another system
[17:44] <guest-yk1e4k> ok fine, but i can't really fix my problem cause i can't get into my home directory from terminal unless there was a way to get into it?
[17:44] <k1l_> joebobjoe: those permissions are not important. since they get overwritten on mounting
[17:44] <akik> joebobjoe: the mode 777 sticks to the usb storage device
[17:44] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: A fingerprint isn't a secret, and thus can't be used to decrypt anything. You could technically include the secret needed to decrypt in plain text, but that's equivalent to just not encrypting at all (so don't try to do that).
[17:44] <k1l_> joebobjoe: that is not an issue with the uids.
[17:45] <guest-yk1e4k> Jordan_U, i would very much like to get back to my home folder/.
[17:45] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: That we can do :)
[17:45] <k1l_> joebobjoe: and fat doesnt have file permissions at all.
[17:45] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: Are you using ecryptfs?
[17:45] <joebobjoe> k1l_: what do you mean they get overriden? If I make a file on the usb drive, it will be owned by me
[17:45] <guest-yk1e4k> Jordan_U, thats what i wanted.
[17:46] <guest-yk1e4k> possibly?
[17:46] <joebobjoe> k1l_: well I wanted to use something more advanced than FAT for flash storage
[17:46] <k1l_> joebobjoe: why more advanced?
[17:46] <guest-yk1e4k> i have a pen a paper ready or a great link would be helpful
[17:46] <k1l_> joebobjoe: and again: see mounting options
[17:46] <geethree> kernel
[17:47] <joebobjoe> k1l_: mounting options specific to ext4?
[17:47] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: Easiest way to access your data right now would be to boot from an Ubuntu LiveUSB and follow http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2011/04/introducing-ecryptfs-recover-private.html .
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> JUst a reminder i to people helping i do know my passwords for both user and Admin
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> UGH
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> yes
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> i know
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> i just can't find the stupid usb right nowl
[17:47] <guest-yk1e4k> lol
[17:48] <guest-yk1e4k> alright ill go look for it now.
[17:48] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: You can also run ecryptfs-recover-private from another user that you can log in as.
[17:48] <faerel> the are french
[17:49] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: I won't have time to walk you through actually getting your user able to log in normally before I need to leave, but ecryptfs-recover-private should allow you to access your data.
[17:49] <k1l_> joebobjoe: look at this for  example: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Using_mount     mount the drive
[17:49] <guest-yk1e4k> Jordan_U, the issue there my dear sir, is i only have a guess account and i am not skilled in command line user addons
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> so man up on the ecrypts-recover-private help file then?
[17:50] <k1l_> joebobjoe: and for ext just chown the mounted dir.
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> Jordan_U,
[17:50] <romrom> guest-yk1e4k, I don't think it would work from the guest account, its rights are too limited. you have to go the liveusb route
[17:50] <faerel> the are french
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> great
[17:50] <k1l_> !fr | faerel
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> need to find the stupid usb
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> lol
[17:50] <guest-yk1e4k> saw it yesterday
[17:51] <faerel> thanks
[17:51] <blacknred0> never mind... apparently reinstall chrome did the trick :S
[17:51] <Jordan_U> guest-yk1e4k: Yes, and read the post I linked to.
[17:56] <SqrtOfPi> Imagine a file is owned by www-data   and has r--r--r-- permission
[17:56] <SqrtOfPi> Can user www-data make it executable, or is it only root who can make executable ?
[17:57] <pavlos> dpkg -l | grep linux-image lists old kernels that were removed. Is there a way to clean up the dpkg -l output to show only installed kernels?
[17:58] <EriC^^> SqrtOfPi: whoever owns it can modify it
[17:59] <SqrtOfPi> EriC^^ can't it be dangerous if a low privilege user can make his own things executable?
[17:59] <EriC^^> pavlos: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | grep -v ^rc
[17:59] <rubenwardy> Hi! I use a Windows 10 + Ubuntu 16.10 laptop, secure boot. I first installed Ubuntu 16.04 and it worked perfectly well, I could use Windows 10 too. I updated to 16.10 and had (wifi) driver problems so I tried installing 16.10 by using a disc and remaking the partition. I had to manually choose partitions in the editor, so I choose /dev/sda as the UEFI table partition and /dev/sda6 as the Ubuntu partition (as it was my old partiton). It
[17:59] <rubenwardy> installed well, and works well
[17:59] <EriC^^> pavlos: neater version dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "ii" /linux-image/'
[17:59] <rubenwardy> however when I start W10 I get "PROCESS1_INITIALISATION_FAILED"
[18:00] <rubenwardy> Are there any tools / docs which allow you to analyse where in the boot partition there's a mistake?
[18:00] <g3> try startup repair?
[18:00] <EriC^^> SqrtOfPi: he can't escalate privileges though
[18:00] <pavlos> EriC^^, ty
[18:01] <EriC^^> SqrtOfPi: btw, it doesn't have to be executable to be executable, a user can always call it using the library in /lib and execute it
[18:01] <rubenwardy> g3: will that remove GRUB? Will it remove Ubuntu?
[18:01] <EriC^^> pavlos: np
[18:02] <SqrtOfPi> thanks EriC^^
[18:04] <guest-yk1e4k> HAHAHA next to my computer the whole time
[18:05] <EriC^^> SqrtOfPi: no problem
[18:07] <DarkAceZ> hey, how do I delete .xsession-errors without it keeping some sort of cache or whatever until I reboot? the file is 20+GB
[18:07] <pavlos> EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23753384/ there are 30 old kernels but only 4 with ii. Does that mean, dpkg -l remembers everything since the beginning of time?
[18:08] <DarkAceZ> I'm guessing it keeps it around until I reboot because it's being actively used
[18:08] <EriC^^> pavlos: those are the old kernels that still have configs
[18:08] <win32> any help about webcam work not!
[18:08] <pavlos> EriC^^, so I should use purge ti wipe them
[18:08] <pavlos> to
[18:08] <EriC^^> pavlos: yup
[18:09] <pavlos> will do
[18:09] <l0llip0p>  pavlos the one where read ii, should stay
[18:09] <pavlos> yes, I keep those
[18:09] <EriC^^> pavlos: dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "rc" /linux-image/ {print $2}/' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
[18:10] <ctrlnull> Any one have a good step by step guide they have used to ssh to ubuntu?
[18:11] <EriC^^> ctrlnull: digitalocean has some good tutorials
[18:11] <pavlos> EriC^^, I get syntax error in {print $2
[18:11] <transhuman> hi! I know Ubuntu 16.04 has something special when it comes to resolv.conf. ...IE your not supposed to edit by yourself (its automatic). The problem is I put into my router that it is to hand out DNS addresses and yet even after a full reboot (when restarting networking didnt fix it) it still says 127.0.1.1 for dns addresses ...anyone able to explain
[18:12] <en> halloo
[18:13] <EriC^^> pavlos: try dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "rc" && /linux-image/ {print $2}'
[18:13] <EriC^^> if it lists them right add the | xargs stuff
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> transhuman  sudo -e /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
[18:13] <win32> any help about webcam work not!
[18:14] <ctrlnull> thaks EriC^^
[18:14] <EriC^^> ctrlnull: no problem
[18:14] <MonkeyDust> transhuman  add or change    nameserver ... then: sudo resolvconf -u    -u means update
[18:14] <Jordan_U> transhuman: 127.0.1.1 is a loopback address which points to your dnsmasq server. dnsmasq itself is probably using the correct DNS server.
[18:15] <pavlos> EriC^^, there should be no / after {print $2} ... now it works
[18:15] <l0llip0p> win32: describe your problem better or read the manuals and find out the problem.
[18:15] <transhuman> ok thanks
[18:15] <mozammel> guys I'm so happy, now finally I could able to boot my system in 14.64 second.. awesome..
[18:15] <win32> l0llip0p: No Devices Found.. > Cheese app
[18:16] <k00l3th4n> win32: What device do you have Ubuntu installed on?
[18:17] <l0llip0p> win32: that means that cheese doesn't find your webcam. I have you check that your webcam has linux support?
[18:17] <transhuman> base is empty, so I just add nameserver .... in there?
[18:17] <win32> Linux thg-SATELLITE-L70-A 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[18:17] <MonkeyDust> transhuman  yes, nameserver x.x.x.x
[18:18] <MonkeyDust> transhuman  replace x.x.x.x with the correct ip address
[18:18] <win32> k00l3th4n: i'ts intergrated webcam from my loptop.
[18:18] <transhuman> right ok... makes me wonder why the change...systemd?
[18:18] <Antares> How upload Git project on server ?
[18:19] <k00l3th4n> transhuman: You can change it there are in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
[18:19] <k00l3th4n> win32: Right, but is it a macbook, dell, etc...
[18:19] <win32> k00l3th4n: Toshiba
[18:20] <win32> SATELLITE-L70-A
[18:21] <transhuman> guess I will have to write down this information till it sets in, in my old ways brain
[18:22] <k00l3th4n> win32: Type this command in terminal --> lspci and look for your webcam. What kind is it?
[18:22] <win32> k00l3th4n: k
[18:22] <jinxi1> how is the paste action using middle click called on linux?
[18:24] <win32> k00l3th4n: http://imgur.com/a/rIaaA
[18:28] <aresminos> test
[18:29] <k00l3th4n> win32: So, your rig isn't detecting a webcam. Have you googled this issue with your specific computer model?
[18:32] <k00l3th4n> win32: Got to go for now buddy. Hope you fix the problem. You should be able to find something with google though.
[18:38] <Blaatkip> I'm trying to run a ansible-playbook, but i'm failing horribly anyone here how can help me figure this out?
[18:39] <Blaatkip> *who
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> Blaatkip  you fail in what way? keep it in one line
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> or it fails, rather
[18:41] <Blaatkip> when i start the playbook, it returnes 1 line in terminal and i dont even know if it is running or not
[18:42] <MonkeyDust> Blaatkip  what line?
[18:42] <mobile> Hello! I am trying to install rtl8812au, a driver for wireless adapters for ubuntu 12.05
[18:42] <mobile> however when I try to 'make
[18:42] <mobile> 'make'
[18:42] <Blaatkip> PLAY RECAP ********************************************
[18:43] <MonkeyDust> !details | Blaatkip
[18:43] <mobile> I get an error. I realize that the new update is way past 12.05, which is why the make probably failed. Does anyone know the patch number for Ubuntu 12.05?
[18:44] <Fyr> guys, I see the list of packages, I see the latest version of transimssion, however, if I type apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, it's not in the list.
[18:44] <Fyr> why is it happening?
[18:45] <Blaatkip> MonkeyDust:  thats basicly all i got, i followed this guide to the letter: https://github.com/jlund/streisand/blob/master/README.md
[18:46] <Bashing-om> Fyr: For what release ?
[18:46] <Blaatkip> edited inventory and the cfg file, but no go
[18:46] <Fyr> Bashing-om, Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
[18:46] <Bashing-om> !info transmission xenial
[18:46] <Fyr> yes
[18:46] <Fyr> 2.84
[18:47] <Fyr> I need the latest.
[18:47] <Fyr> (2.92)
[18:48] <Fyr> Bashing-om, how do I do that?
[18:48] <Blaatkip> MonkeyDust: u still with me or no?
[18:49] <MonkeyDust> Blaatkip  that site doenst look serious to me ... simply describe what you do and what happens
[18:49] <Bashing-om> Fyr: Anything later than 2.84 will require that you add a PPA to the system - I would "assume" someone works and maintains transmission .
[18:51] <kernello> hello everyone, I'd like to run a firmware update for a peripheral device, but the update file is .exe, is it possible to do it somehow in ubuntu, like i.e. with wine?
[18:51] <joebobjoe> k1l_: ok you were right the entire time. I didn't realize that chmod'ing the root of the mounted filesystem is remembered by the filesystem
[18:51] <joebobjoe> k1l_: I didn't realize chmod'ing the mount point would be remembered by the usb disk
[18:51] <merlin_> how can i test my network card under linux
[18:51] <Blaatkip> MonkeyDust:, I'm trying to setup a streisand server, we use one currently but that expires soon, i've installed one last year without any problems
[18:51] <BluesKaj> kernello, yes ,, but i will only work in wine
[18:52] <BluesKaj> i=it
[18:52] <kernello> BluesKaj, thank you very much, will try with it, then
[18:52] <joebobjoe> If group permissions are more restrictive that other permissions, is that pointless?
[18:52] <MonkeyDust> Blaatkip  it's hard to provide assistance if we don't know what happens, in whaich stage, on which ubuntu version
[18:55] <Blaatkip> MonkeyDust:  16.04.1, performed apt-get update & upgrade, then followed all the steps on the readme file untill: ansible-playbook playbooks/streisand.yml
[18:55] <Blaatkip> then i get one line in terminal: PLAY RECAP *********************************************************************
[18:55] <Blaatkip> thats it
[18:56] <Blaatkip> are there any special ansible commands i can use to debug?
[18:57] <energizer> "The && is a special operator that says 'execute the next command only if the previous command was successful, i.e. returned with an exit code of zero'. " Is this consistent with other programming languages?
[18:58] <MonkeyDust> Blaatkip  there's also the channel   #ansible
[19:00] <Blaatkip> MonkeyDust: thinx might try that next
[19:01] <Blaatkip> i put my configs in a pastebin, altered the host ip offcourse, maybe u see something wrong with that

[19:12] <^oz^> o/
[19:12] <willy71667> I need help with a ubuntu server issue
[19:12] <willy71667> concerning samba file sharing
[19:14] <zevenprof> hi everyone happy new year
[19:15] <zevenprof> does this channel support unity 8 support too?
[19:15] <gius> !list
[19:15] <gius> ciao
[19:15] <gius> !list
[19:15] <willy71667> I have a samba file server setup using goguda's youtube video. Worked seamlessly for the last year.  Last week my windows 10 unit tanked. full reload. now I can map and access my samba server files but can't paste to the server
[19:16] <zevenprof> in unity 8 can't get beyond the tutorial screen on mir
[19:16] <pavlos> willy71667, is the location RW?
[19:17] <willy71667> yes
[19:17] <xangua> zevenprof: unity 8 is not yet ready to final is
[19:17] <xangua> Users
[19:17] <zevenprof> agreed, but still would like to at least get to the desktop for testing

[19:19] <pavlos> willy71667, which is the share and what perms?
[19:19] <willy71667> no expert here. followed a youtube video on setting this up
[19:19] <zevenprof> friend, im using the word loosely
[19:19] <zevenprof> when i say "testing"
[19:19] <zevenprof> just want to boot into it
[19:20] <zevenprof> can't get beyond the "long swipe from the left screen to ....
[19:20] <zevenprof> and won't let me "long swipe left" using trackpad on desktop

[19:21] <MonkeyDust> !mir | zevenprof
[19:23] <pavlos> willy71667, the video shows it created a Public Files folder
[19:23] <zevenprof> so, no support...got it. thanks
[19:26] <taliptako> which version i should use 16.10 or 16.04 ?
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> taliptako  16.04 has longer support, 16.10 has the latest and greatest stuff
[19:27] <MonkeyDust> taliptako  ecide what'sd more important to you
[19:28] <blacknred0> taliptako: ^
[19:28] <taliptako> ubuntu 16.10 looks buggy
[19:28] <blacknred0> i think it also depends on what you are trying to do
[19:28] <taliptako> i was using 16.10 i switch to fedora and now iwanna back to 16.04
[19:28] <taliptako> instead of 16.10 :)
[19:29] <migraine> Where i can ask for upgrade package in repo?
[19:29] <blacknred0> fedora!!!
[19:29] <blacknred0> I haven't used fedora since fedora core 17
[19:29] <taliptako> why
[19:29] <taliptako> you dont like it ?
[19:30] <blacknred0> taliptako: i like ubuntu members and the support is better
[19:30] <blacknred0> more software dev support :)
[19:30] <blacknred0> rpm not so much
[19:31] <taliptako> But they have clear gnome :)
[19:32] <blacknred0> taliptako: you can install gnome and get rid of unity if you like in ubuntu as well
[19:33] <ducasse> migraine: what do you mean?
[19:33] <migraine> ducasse: last update of package in 2013...
[19:33] <taliptako> blacknred0, but i feel like its unoffical when i use Ubuntu with gnome
[19:34] <ducasse> migraine: which package?
[19:34] <blacknred0> taliptako: it is official
[19:34] <migraine> ducasse: liquidsoap. in repos 1.1.1 (2013) but latest 1.2.*
[19:35] <blacknred0> just cause unity is the default, doesn't mean you can use gnome, KDE, etc
[19:35] <xangua> !info liquidsoap
[19:36] <MonkeyDust> cute package name
[19:36] <jayjo> I am using the software imagemacick to stitch a bunch of pngs together into a gif, but there are a lot of frames. Is there a way to compress this somehow, because between each frame there is a very very small amount of change in the image

[19:45] <EriC^^> jayjo: use less frame rate
[19:45] <diamerir> hi
[19:46] <diamerir> how do i use torrent to download ubuntu.iso
[19:46] <diamerir> ?
[19:46] <zqvt> Hi I've got a problem with several email clients. I can't send mail through alpine or thunderbird on Ubuntu and I assume it's because google requires you to login through a browser popup. has anybody encountered this?
[19:47] <basedmars> zqvt, have you upgraded the thunderbird packages?
[19:47] <MonkeyDust> zqvt  i use thunderbird without google login, so it's not general
[19:47] <zqvt> I think everything is up to date
[19:48] <zqvt> you sure you didn't get a password prompt when you first registered the smtp server? Can't seem to get around this.
[19:48] <ducasse> zqvt: do you use two-factor auth on google?
[19:48] <zqvt> nope just password
[19:48] <MonkeyDust> zqvt  is it a gmail account?
[19:48] <zqvt> yes
[19:49] <squinty> diamerir, https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[19:50] <diamerir> squinty: what is the disadvantage of 32 over 64bit?
[19:50] <diamerir> in terms of security too
[19:50] <diamerir> i want only 32bit as i can also use it on laptop
[19:50] <diamerir> due to less ram
[19:51] <squinty> diamerir, afaik there is no difference concerning security aspect
[19:51] <ducasse> zqvt: iirc gmail requires you to check a "allow alternative clients" box in settings
[19:51] <xangua> If you don't have much RAM why not go for Xubuntu, Lubuntu? diamerir
[19:52] <dangernoodle> zqvt: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255
[19:53] <ducasse> diamerir: the ram difference is *minimal*, seriously. also, some packages are only available in 64-bit now, like google chrome.
[19:54] <zqvt> ducasse: that might've been it, i'll try it out
[19:56] <diamerir> ducasse: what other packages?
[19:56] <diamerir> how much disadvantage?
[19:57] <xangua> diamerir: more packages in the future probably
[19:59] <cobyr> Hello everyone. :) I've been attempting a full install of Ubuntu on a USB thumb drive (following this guide: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/11/install-real-ubuntu-os-usb-drive/) but have not yet succeeded. The guide says to use Unetbootin to burn the ubuntu ios to usb drive, but after I do it won't boot from the stick. It just hangs. Was using Ubuntu 16.04.1 .
[19:59] <cobyr> ubuntu iso* NOT ios.
[20:00] <cobyr> Was curious if anyone here has had success running a full ubuntu install from a usb stick?
[20:00] <akik> cobyr: yes, it's possible
[20:00] <CharlieBrown> cobyr, yes.  Boot it up, click the install button.  Done! :D
[20:01] <CharlieBrown> I haven't used optical media since 2007.
[20:01] <akik> cobyr: i've heard rufus is able to make the usb stick
[20:01] <cobyr> CharlieBrown, do you use a particular iso burner? Unetbootin doesn't seem to wrk right for me.
[20:01] <CharlieBrown> Yeah, akik.  Rufus is a GREAT app for Windows that writes ISOs.
[20:01] <cobyr> akik, oh ok thanks. I have not tried rufus
[20:02] <cobyr> that sound perfect because I am mostly on windows 10
[20:02] <Blaatkip> I use a usbstick with 5 linux distro's and win 10 installer, made it with yumi
[20:02] <CharlieBrown> cobyr, it's one of my essential apps for Windows.  I used to have a collection of free software apps for Windows that I'd keep in my pocket at all times.
[20:03] <squinty> cobyr, https://www.pendrivelinux.com/ for tutorials and alternatives
[20:03] <Blaatkip> https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/
[20:03] <CharlieBrown> Blaatkip, Yumi?  Will look into it.
[20:03] <minimec> cobyr: Yes. I recommend some fast USB3 or USB-C stick. You will need two sticks, for the install obviously... One with the Ubuntu install disk and the target USB stick. Just use the target USB stick as installation harddrive.
[20:04] <cobyr> Awesome. A good iso burned is a great start. squinty thanks for that link because I still need to partition the usb stick correctly for a full install to work properly, right?
[20:04] <CharlieBrown> Ohh... THAT's what they were trying to do. My bad.
[20:04] <minimec> cobyr: I also recommend to mount the /temo directory in RAM after installation to avoid write cicles.
[20:04] <cobyr> minimec, oh ok thank you. That is what the guide I was folling. I will get my iso burned correctly and then get on it. :D
[20:05] <squinty> cobyr,  the installer will handle any partitioning of the full install usb stick.
[20:05] <cobyr> squinty, automatically? or do you have to set up some manula partitions?
[20:05] <cobyr> manual*
[20:06] <squinty> cobyr, either  your choice
[20:06] <cobyr> oh ok. I had problems with the automatic one. Simply wouldn't boot. Then again, i think I was trying install onto a usb stick from a CD... don't think that should matter.
[20:06] <backbox> whats up_
[20:07] <Blaatkip> cobyr: http://askubuntu.com/questions/312782/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-separate-hard-drive-in-a-dual-boot
[20:07] <Blaatkip> it takes 2 steps basicly, during the install process
[20:08] <cobyr> minimec, I was mistaken. You'r tip was not mentioned in the guide. Thanks! I noted it.
[20:08] <squinty> cobyr, just make sure, you install grub to the proper usb stick (that is, the full installation stick and not your hard drive or the iso stick)
[20:09] <cobyr> squinty, oh ok thanks :D
[20:09] <squinty> cobyr, fwiw, I used to disconnect any hard drives first before doing a full install to a usb stick.... ;-)
[20:10] <cobyr> Blaatkip, thanks for that link :D
[20:10] <Blaatkip> np cobyr, u can have that page open while installing
[20:10] <cobyr> squinty, well that's thorough. Kind of a pain but thorough. XD
[20:10] <josharenson> What would make _some_ webpages fail to resolve on my laptop? I've rebooted my router, modem, and laptop. I've changed internet connections, DNS servers, and tried a VPN. Everything is fine on my phone, but laptop won't go to some sites suddenly
[20:14] <Bashing-om> josharenson: Who is doing the DNS resolution ? ' cat /etc/resolv.conf ' . To get a hint .
[20:15] <sameko> ...
[20:15] <sameko> hello?
[20:15] <josharenson> Bashing-om: localhost... is that correct?
[20:15] <sameko> eeee...
[20:16] <Bashing-om> josharenson: Yeah , it is if Network-manager is installed to your system .
[20:17] <josharenson> Bashing-om: it is, and its running
[20:17] <explodes> Will I notice a speed boost if I upgrade my ram from 1066MHz to, say, 3000?
[20:18] <Bashing-om> josharenson: That was the only thought I had why some URLs do not resolve . Now I just also do not know .
[20:18] <pavlos> josharenson, try, host google.com it should give you an IP, then try with a site you cannot resolve
[20:18] <josharenson> Bashing-om: lol google.com is one of the sites that won't resolve, but I get it
[20:19] <pavlos> josharenson, is your VPN blocking sites (not safe for work?)
[20:19] <josharenson> pavlos: not on a vpn at the moment
[20:20] <pavlos> josharenson, what site can you resolve?
[20:21] <ducasse> explodes: try ##hardware
[20:22] <josharenson> pavlos: google.com resolves fine, gmail does not (currently, the non-working sites don't seem to be consistent)
[20:22] <pavlos> josharenson, pavlos@intel:~$ host gmail.com
[20:22] <pavlos> gmail.com has address 216.58.217.197
[20:23] <diamerir> is there any disadvantage of 32 bit over 64
[20:23] <diamerir> ?
[20:23] <josharenson> pavlos: going there just takes me to google
[20:23] <ducasse> diamerir: we've just told you
[20:24] <diamerir> what? except chrome
[20:24] <josharenson> pavlos: I'm thinking its not DNS now... I can't get to aa.com, but I can resolve its ip address (which doesn't work either)
[20:24] <diamerir> i don't use that crap anyway
[20:24] <explodes> ducasse: will do thanks
[20:24] <xangua> diamerir: and more apps in the future
[20:24] <ducasse> diamerir: can't remember as i only use 64-bit, but there are some. aiui the devs are also discussing dropping 32-bit images with the release of 18.04
[20:24] <pavlos> josharenson, so if you try the ip instead of gmail.com, does it connect?
[20:27] <josharenson> pavlos: no, just goes to google... I'm going to try a slightly older live cd real quick
[20:28] <ducasse> diamerir: you will be especially likely to run into problems with third-party binary packages, but even foss programs are dropping 32-bit support
[20:30] <pavlos> josharenson, does that for me, too. weird ...
[20:33] <ducasse> pavlos: not weird at all, as the webserver is no longer being told which vhost you want
[20:35] <pavlos> ducasse, https://gmail.com brings my inbox but https://216.58.217.197 brings google page
[20:36] <Cust0sLim3n> how come I can't install this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/file-preseed
[20:36] <Cust0sLim3n> apt show file-preseed just shows nothing
[20:37] <ducasse> pavlos: yes, because when you type gmail.com into your browser, the browser tells the webserver at the address it resolves that it wants the gmail.com website. when you type in an ip address the browser no longer knows which website you want, and gets the default one.
[20:38] <ducasse> pavlos: (simplified)
[20:39] <bgray_> 16.04 - How can I tell which packages on my system were installed from multiverse?
[20:40] <ducasse> Cust0sLim3n: see the biiiig box under the "Package: file-preseed" heading at the top of the page
[20:40] <kernello> hello again, I tried to run the firmware update with .exe file via wine, but I got this error: is.gd/drX9E2..still the update seems to be running in wine, though..
[20:41] <Cust0sLim3n> ducasse, ye says not to install it ... but am 1st world anarchist myself
[20:41] <kernello> sorry, again, this is the link to error: is.gd/drX9E2
[20:42] <ducasse> Cust0sLim3n: sure, whatever. it's a udeb package, those aren't in the normal repos as they are intended for the images that use the debian installer.
[20:43] <Cust0sLim3n> ducasse, so what repo should I add to get it ?
[20:44] <Cust0sLim3n> source*
[20:44] <ducasse> Cust0sLim3n: you're really not listening, but go ahead. just look a little further down the page and download from there.
[20:44] <pavlos> ducasse, ty ... I read on Vhosts, mult hostnames in one IP
[20:45] <ducasse> kernello: firmware updates are not going to work under wine
[20:45] <dbz2k> hello
[20:46] <dbz2k>  on ubuntu gnome 16.10 its seems it keeps getting stuck on black screen after grub menu from live cd
[20:46] <Cust0sLim3n> ducasse, so only option is to add pgk manually ?
[20:46] <ducasse> !nomodeset | dbz2k
[20:48] <ducasse> Cust0sLim3n: i can't make this any clearer, i think; it's not a regular package - it's not intended to be used on a full install
[20:48] <dbz2k> ducasse: I tried that but still black screen :( its boots fine on vanilla ubuntu
[20:48] <Cust0sLim3n> ducasse, yeah ok ... I won't install it - I looked at its content and is not what I'm looking for
[20:49] <Cust0sLim3n> just trying to figure out how to get it
[20:49] <Cust0sLim3n> anyway, no worries, thanks for info ducasse
[20:50] <Cust0sLim3n> so is there any way to get a (more) comprehensive list of preseed options except for http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/installation-guide-amd64 ?
[20:51] <jdh239> I have created a preseed file for 2 disks.  It creates a raid on the disk for the / partition, and also creates a swap partition (not raided) on each disk; however, instead of creating my swap partitions at the max size and then filling the rest of the disk up with the / partition, it creates the root partition at a fixed size and fills the rest of the disk up with the swap partitions.... essentially giving me swap partitions that equal 490 GB in size when
[20:51] <jdh239> combined.  Wondering if a preseed expert can look at my partman configuration and let me know what I am doing wrong?
[21:00] <nacc> jdh239: have a paste of it?
[21:00] <jdh239> My preseed file is creating partition sizes incorrectly.  Someone willing to look at my configuration as a second pair of eyes (Just the partitioning section)?  I can't seem to find my problem.  Everything works other than the sizes of my partitions.
[21:00] <jdh239> nacc, yes thank you

[21:02] <kernello> other than running it on windows :) ?
[21:02] <ducasse> kernello: yes, from windows or whatever it expects.
[21:02] <timyp> Yea looking at text you think I can put this on three lines and than when you past it its like darn that took up 30 lines in chat.
[21:02] <ducasse> kernello: some of them will run on freedos
[21:03] <Jsync> I just want to say again, it's not appropriate to publish false names with the Greek Pagan female spouse references, not at all. That's not good for society, not at all.
[21:03] <amer> what is this programe
[21:03] <amer> ?
[21:03] <amer> some body help me
[21:03] <kernello> ducasse, oh, freedos looks interesting
[21:04] <Jsync> Like, why I would need to explain that really is atrocious & foul.
[21:04] <nacc> !ot | Jsync
[21:04] <nacc> amer: you are on IRC.
[21:04] <nacc> amer: in particular, the Ubuntu support channel
[21:04] <amer> what does that mean?
[21:04] <alb3rt> Hi guys
[21:05] <nacc> amer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
[21:05] <nacc> jdh239: are you putting it in a pastebin?
[21:05] <amer> i try to read about it but didn't works
[21:05] <kernello> ducasse,thank you for your help! I will try with freedos
[21:05] <jdh239> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23754324/plain/
[21:05] <nacc> jdh239: thanks
[21:06] <amer> is this a chat programe?
[21:06] <kk4ewt> amer,  ubuntu is a linux Operating system for computers
[21:06] <amer> ok
[21:06] <amer> i know
[21:06] <ducasse> kernello: np, but if it requires windows that won't work either - iow, it depends.
[21:06] <jdh239> That isn't the full partman section, but is the only part I am currently concerned about.  Everything else seems to be working as expected
[21:06] <kernello> ducasse, hope it works :)
[21:07] <amer> do you mean this is programe for ubunto asking
[21:07] <amer> ?
[21:07] <nacc> jdh239: ok, looking
[21:07] <kk4ewt> this is a chat and this channel is for ubuntu linux support
[21:07] <amer> it's not sochial program?
[21:08] <kk4ewt> it can be be not in this channel
[21:08] <amer> what is chanels?
[21:08] <kk4ewt> !ot |amer
[21:08] <frib> Hi.  I can no longer see audio devices in unity-control-center.  Please help!
[21:09] <amer> ok let me know how can i get another chanel?
[21:10] <ducasse> amer: please join #freenode to learn about irc. type "/join #freenode" (without quotes)
[21:10] <kernello> by the way, I've got an age-old (!) problem...network manager constantly hides the wifi networks
[21:11] <kernello> I need each time to run restart on terminal
[21:12] <wonderworld> i have a large CSV file (20MB) i want to browse/sort in the GUI. libre office calc hogs 1 CPU core completely when opening it and freezes. is there any other tool that might work?
[21:12] <ducasse> kernello: sounds like maybe a driver issue, which chipset?
[21:12] <kernello> ducasse, Intel Mobile 4
[21:13] <ducasse> kernello: never heard of, sorry. intel tends to work well in my experience, though.
[21:13] <kernello> PRO/Wireless 5100 AGN
[21:13] <kernello> maybe this is the right model?
[21:14] <bgray_> 16.04 - How can I tell which packages on my system were installed from multiverse?
[21:14] <kernello> this was not the problem until 14.04.2 or so..
[21:21] <rexfish25> Hello.
[21:23] <berkiyo> Hello rexfish25
[21:28] <jatt> bgray_: use synaptic
[21:29] <nailyk> Jordy: I have some dns troubles right know but I will open your picture :)
[21:29] <Jordy> Oh you are here now, lets continue :D
[21:29] <nacc> jdh239: partitions are created in the order that you specify them in
[21:30] <nailyk> Jordy: dhclient whould bring your interfaces up and request an address from your dhcp
[21:30] <nailyk> Jordy: I assume your network if working fine and you can plug any new computer withouth a hitch
[21:30] <jdh239> nacc, that is good to know.  I will go switch them around then and let you know if that fixes my issue
[21:31] <l0llip0p> hi what is example.desktop in home folder and can I remove it without any influence on my system?
[21:31] <jdh239> nacc, thank you for looking at that
[21:31] <nailyk> Jordy: so the networkcard you need is realteck PCIe
[21:32] <nailyk> Jordy: if you are using ethernet.
[21:32] <Jordy> It's a VirtualBox instance.
[21:32] <Jordy> The laptop itself uses wifi
[21:32] <nailyk> Jordy: Intel dual band wireless if you use wifi
[21:32] <Jordy> that's the default setting :P
[21:32] <nacc> jdh239: you can see the order debian recommends (at least in their example) in https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs04.html.en
[21:33] <Jordy> dhclient doesn't seem to be doing anything
[21:33] <Jordy> it just enters in 'busy' mode where I can ctrlC out of
[21:33] <nailyk> ok hit ctrl+c then.
[21:34] <nailyk> Jordy: your network should be up anyway.
[21:34] <nailyk> Check state with ifconfig.
[21:35] <berkiyo> Could be a Network Manager issue
[21:36] <berkiyo> ping ubuntu.com
[21:36] <Jordy> http://i.imgur.com/z7NvGb0.png no change :(
[21:36] <Jordy> Name or Service not known
[21:36] <berkiyo> Ah W10 host?
[21:36] <berkiyo> Please go into your network settings
[21:36] <Jordy> I have changed no network setting as far as I know, I just setup the VM the other night
[21:36] <berkiyo> in w10
[21:36] <Jordy> yes W10 host
[21:36] <berkiyo> and in adapters
[21:36] <k1l> Jordy: guest additions installed?
[21:36] <Jordy> not yet
[21:36] <berkiyo> make sure the virtualbox ethernet is enabled
[21:37] <berkiyo> k1l, It shouldn't matter, guest additions only help with graphical performance
[21:37] <Jordy> It's enabled
[21:37] <nailyk> Jordy: :) you are in good hands and I had to go. Good luck
[21:37] <berkiyo> That's weird
[21:37] <Jordy> but IPV4 connectivy state says no network access
[21:37] <pavlos> bgray_, dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-cache madison | column -t | grep multiverse
[21:37] <berkiyo> For your host network?
[21:38] <berkiyo> Eg: Connection on W10?
[21:38]  * berkiyo deep accent
[21:38] <berkiyo> Have you tried restarting your PC?
[21:38] <Jordy> No at the VirtualBox ethernet adapter
[21:39] <berkiyo> ah
[21:39] <berkiyo> Disable it
[21:39] <berkiyo> Then re-enable it
[21:39] <berkiyo> But
[21:39] <berkiyo> Go into your adapter settings for your WiFi card (or whatever you use)
[21:39] <taliptako> should i install docker from ubuntu repos or from docker repos ?
[21:39] <berkiyo> and make sure the Virtualbox bridge driver is checked! :D
[21:40] <taliptako> usually tutorials using docker repos
[21:40] <berkiyo> Docker Repos taliptako
[21:40] <taliptako> why ?
[21:40] <berkiyo> Canonical patches a lot of tings
[21:40] <berkiyo> things*
[21:40] <rangergord> Hi. I'm trying to boot a Ubuntu MATE VBox VM which I created on a new computer. At the boot screen, where I can choose between Ubuntu, Memory Test, commandline/grub, etc, if I select Ubuntu, I just get a black screen with a frozen cursor, and no indication of what's wrong. Any advice? Other options like Memory Test and Grub work.
[21:40] <berkiyo> So if you follow tutorials
[21:41] <k1l> taliptako: what is wrong with the ubuntu repos version?
[21:41] <berkiyo> Nothing
[21:41] <taliptako> just little bit old :)
[21:41] <berkiyo> It just might be patched up and missing a few features
[21:41] <taliptako> and docker-compose package is very old
[21:41] <berkiyo> EG: Arch Linux patches firefox
[21:41] <berkiyo> this removes data and telemetry options
[21:41] <Jordy> berkiyo, http://i.imgur.com/MunvTkf.png (Sorry for it being Dutch)
[21:41] <berkiyo> Also they patch "top" and make it red! :(
[21:42] <taliptako> so installing from docker repos will not be problem for my system isnt it
[21:42] <berkiyo> Jordy, All goods, so good, its checked... Hmm, why wouldn't it work? I don't get it
[21:42] <berkiyo> CAn you disable
[21:43] <berkiyo> Everything except for the WiFi you use and vbox adapter in bottom window? Including ethernet
[21:43] <berkiyo> The big bottom window in your screenshot
[21:43] <berkiyo> give a reboot and tell me how it goes
[21:43] <k1l> taliptako: well, its outside the things that ubuntu can support. so you need to ask the one running that 3rd party repos for support with that then.
[21:45] <Jordy> okay berkiyo
[21:45] <berkiyo> good luck
[21:45] <tomreyn> rangergord: choose advanced options, then recovery, then failsafeX. then choose the option to insert guest additions iso, then install it, then reboot
[21:47] <royal_screwup2> hey guys!
[21:47] <rangergord> tomreyn: when I select the recovery kernel, I get the same issue, frozen cursor on a black screen
[21:47] <berkiyo> hey royal_screwup2 :D
[21:48] <royal_screwup2> Instead of dragging my mouse all the way to the "x" sign to close a window, is there a handy shortcut available?
[21:48] <berkiyo> Alt+F4
[21:48] <tomreyn> rangergord: which ubuntu release is this?
[21:48] <berkiyo> Or Ctrl+Q
[21:48] <royal_screwup2> berkiyo thanks!
[21:48] <Jordy> Rebooted, now lets wait 10 minutes to get pass the starting job for the Raise Network..
[21:49] <rangergord> tomreyn 16.04
[21:49] <berkiyo> royal_screwup2, No problemo :D
[21:49] <pavlos> Jordy, if the adapter was NAT, VB would give is a 10.0.2.15 (something like that) but if it is bridge, it should pick an ip from DHCP server
[21:49] <berkiyo> Jordy, Cool :D
[21:49] <tomreyn> rangergord: virtualbox version?
[21:49] <berkiyo> Jordy, you could have a 3rd party driver in W10 preventing or conflicting with vbox
[21:50] <berkiyo> But lets see what happens
[21:50] <Jordy> pavlos, I tried both, it simply doesn't get an IP assigned with both settings
[21:50] <rangergord> tomreyn: 5.1.12, latest
[21:50] <berkiyo> Jordy, Not working?
[21:50] <Jordy> idk waiting for this stupid Raise Network starting job thing to finish
[21:50] <rangergord> tomreyn: VM was created on an older VBox though (not sure which, but at least 6 weeks old)
[21:53] <timyp> Jordy does it work if you connect to hardwire and select the onboard nic?
[21:53] <Jordy> berkiyo, nope no connectivity, timyp how?
[21:54] <cesdo> Merry Christmas to all!
[21:54] <tomreyn> rangergord: oh 5.1.12 must be quite new, i haven't used this one, yet. try advanced again, then press 'e' to edit. then go down to the line which starts with "linux", tthen press 'end' to go to the end of this line. now move the cursor in front of  the three dashes, add a blank space to the left if there's none, and type: vga=791
[21:54] <timyp> you have a router in the home you connect the laptop to Ethernet?
[21:54] <berkiyo> Jordy, Does host have internet?
[21:54] <tomreyn> rangergord: also make sure there's another blank space behind that and before the ---
[21:54] <Jordy> oh that, I can't try that now. I've got no ethernet cable
[21:54] <tomreyn> rangergord: then press ctrl-x
[21:55] <Jordy> My IRC client is on the host, so yes. Host got internet
[21:55] <Jordy> It's just not forwarding it to the adapter
[21:55] <timyp> is your DHCP service from the router or another machine?
[21:55] <Jordy> router yes
[21:55] <timyp> can you ping the router from VM?
[21:55] <berkiyo> Best to revert to original settings OR, completely reinstall Virtualbox and allow for signing/installing drivers during setup (2 dialogs popup in setup)
[21:56] <berkiyo> Did you allow the drivers to be installed on host W10 Jordy when you first installed vbox?
[21:56] <Jordy> yes
[21:56] <Jordy> IT does all work great until I restart VirtualBox after I install it
[21:57] <rangergord> tomreyn: I don't see 3 dashes. It's "linux /boot/vmlinuz/[...] [root=uuid...] ro"
[21:57] <berkiyo> :(
[21:58] <berkiyo> Not sure how to help you man
[21:58] <berkiyo> Too many variables
[21:58] <tomreyn> rangergord: if this also doesn't help, repeat the whole proess, but ionstead of adding " vga=791 ", add " nomodeset " or " xforcevesa "
[21:58] <rangergord> add it after ro?
[21:58] <timyp> can you ping the router and can be ping 8.8.8.8 from the VM ?
[21:58] <berkiyo> It could be a corrupt installation of *buntu itself Jordy
[21:58] <tomreyn> rangergord: let me check quickly
[21:58] <pavlos> Jordy, the VB install may be to blame ... I tried on win10 host, ubuntu server as guest, VB 5.1.6
[21:59] <tomreyn> rangergord: my test VM is just installing updates, may take another 3 or 5 minutes
[21:59] <rangergord> tomreyn: np. i appreciate the help. I'll look up the flags to see if i can find an example in the meanwhile
[22:00] <tomreyn> rangergord: if there's not ---, it's probably still fine to put it to the end. also, if present, remove "splash" and "quiet" options from that line
[22:01] <Jordy> damn :(
[22:03] <tomreyn> Jordy: when you say "IT does all work great until I restart VirtualBox after I install it" then the latter "it" refers to Virtualbox or Ubuntu? Which one do you restart, breaking "it"  there?
[22:03] <Jordy> VirtualBox the program itself
[22:04] <Jordy> I can reboot the VM and internet still works, it just stops working completely when I exit VirtualBox
[22:04] <tomreyn> then i agree it's an issue on the host Os side.
[22:04] <berkiyo> t
[22:06] <rangergord> tomreyn: I tried all 3 options (vga=791, xforcevesa, nomodeset) separate times after the "ro", then CTRL+X'ed, i still get a black screen with frozen cursor
[22:06] <pavlos> rangergord, the line looks like this ... linux   /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-57-generic root=UUID=73e75c98-a698-4fda-b5db-1f37a740fe1a ro  quiet splash
[22:07] <tomreyn> thanks pavlos. so the idea was to remove "quiet splash" and place these other strings there, one by one
[22:07] <boo> back
[22:07] <tomreyn> is this what you did then, rangergord ?
[22:08] <Guest97650> sorry coffeeshop wifi acted up
[22:08] <rangergord2> i'm back now
[22:08] <pavlos> rangergord, rangergord yes, remove quiet splash and add nomodeset ... it should boot
[22:09] <rangergord2> THis doesn't boot: linux   /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-57-generic root=UUID=73e75c98-a698-4fda-b5db-1f37a740fe1a ro  nomodeset
[22:09] <rangergord2> same outcome: black screen with frozen cursor
[22:09] <tomreyn> rangergord2: try "text" instead of nomodeset, too
[22:10] <rangergord2> same with text
[22:10] <Bashing-om> rangergord2: What release ? Maybe try and boot to a terminal from grub ? See then what results .
[22:10] <rangergord2> 16.04, Ubuntu MATE
[22:11] <rangergord2> i'll look up how to boot to a terminal from grub
[22:11] <Bashing-om> rangergord2: Try replaceing ' quiet splash' with " systemd.unit=multi-user.target " . See now if ya get to a terminal .
[22:12] <brewok> guys, how to install redmine in ubuntu server 16.04 LTS ?
[22:12] <k1l> !info redmine
[22:12] <Bashing-om> !info redmine xenial
[22:13] <k1l> brewok: use that package?
[22:13] <rangergord2> Bashing-om: no luck with systemd, same result
[22:13] <Bashing-om> rangergord2: Yuk, fresh install ? And if so was the .iso verified ?
 tomreyn: VM was created on an older VBox though (not sure which, but at least 6 weeks old)
[22:14] <brewok> !info redmine
[22:14] <rangergord2> Bashing-om: no, not a fresh one.  I created this VBox VM a while ago, and now am changing laptops. So I copied the folder
[22:15] <rangergord2> can
[22:15] <brewok> k1l yep
[22:15] <rangergord2> can't access terminal from grub. I tried using init=/bin/sh at the end of the linux line (after ro) as per google results
[22:15] <rangergord2> same result as every other attempt
[22:16] <tomreyn> rangergord2: this sounds like you have some virtualbox hardware configuration for this VM which doesn't work well. maybe try to create a new ubuntu 16.04 VM (with virtualbox' defaults) and then add the existing disk to it.
[22:16] <rangergord2> logically speaking...it cant be a virtualbox service/video issues, right, since even text fails to load?
[22:16] <pavlos> rangergord2, do you have a live usb you can boot from?
[22:17] <rangergord2> pavlos: unfortunately not. i'm in a coffee shop with really slow internet so i can't get one either
[22:17] <rangergord2> perhaps the filesystem got corrupted during copy?
[22:17] <rangergord2> the big 20GB vdi disk
[22:18] <tomreyn> it should recover automatically then
[22:18] <tomreyn> and display a notice while doing so, or if failing to do so.
[22:19] <rangergord2> i got no such thing. Also, I had another old VM, Ubuntu Server 16.04, and I just tried it, that one boots just fine.
[22:20] <tomreyn> compare their hardware configurations then
[22:20] <pavlos> rangergord2, I came late in the conversation, you have VB 5.1.12 and created a guest ubuntu mate 16.04 which does not boot
[22:20] <rangergord2> pavlos: VM was created on an older VBox, then the directory was copied to a new system with VB 5.1.12
[22:21] <rangergord2> but yeah, that's what's going on
[22:23] <rangergord2> tomreyn: checking it out. but these VBox settings are the same I've used on every single PC ever. i did not modify any.
[22:24] <Antares> Подскажите LUA для Android
[22:24] <Antares> LUA for Android needed
[22:24] <tomreyn> rangergord2: virtualbox's defaults tend to change over time, though, and so if you imported an old configuration to a new virtualbox this *could* break stuff.
[22:24] <tomreyn> !ot | Antares
[22:25] <pavlos> !ru | Antares
[22:26] <pavlos> Antares, see ##lua
[22:26] <rangergord2> tomreyn: I really dont see what it could be. VBox boots Ubuntu's bootloader, it can load grub, the memory test, etc.
[22:26] <rangergord2> so beyond that, it's an OS issue, no?
[22:27] <rangergord2> I might give up and start over
[22:27] <tomreyn> rangergord2: or it could be a broken VDI file, where data is fine in early sectors, but missing or broken in later sectors.
[22:27] <rangergord2> thankfully 80% of my post-OS-install setup is automated
[22:28] <Antares> thx
[22:28] <rangergord2> tomreyn: I can try copying again tmrw
[22:29] <tomreyn> rangergord2: compare file sizes before you do, if they match, do checksumming on both ends. still faster than copying.
[22:29] <rangergord2> good point
[22:29] <rangergord2> well actually
[22:29] <tomreyn> (although you may still end up copying again, but then you'll know why at least)
[22:29] <rangergord2> the vdi was modified since, due to all the stuff we
[22:29] <rangergord2> we've bene doing. i'll recopy, but also check md5
[22:30] <tomreyn> i don't think i instructed you to make persistent changes. those edits in grub you did do not persist
[22:31] <tomreyn> rangergord2: but it's possible that the OS got so far as to r/w mount the file system, in which case it won't match, good point.
[22:35] <rangergord2> thanks for all the help everyone
[22:35] <rangergord2> especially you tomreyn
[22:36] <tomreyn> welcome :)
[22:42] <rangergord2> i guess since i cant do anything, i might as well learn vimtutor
[22:45] <pavlos> rangergord2, you could d/l puppylinux iso and make a VM.
[22:46] <rangergord> pavlos: I got a working Ubuntu Server VM
[22:46] <pavlos> rangergord2, ok
[22:57] <cludz> hi, can anybody help me installing windows in dual with ubuntu?
[22:58] <snowkidind> does ubuntu delete files in /tmp automagically or do I have to make a cronjob?
[22:58] <kernell> hello again :) I'm trying to revive a disk with fsck. I found the superblock numbers, but I get the error 'mount point /dev/sda does not exist'
[22:59] <k1l> snowkidind: on reboot, it should clear tmp
[22:59] <kernell> maybe because it is because I couldnt create a partition on it, and I dont know how to get it mounted
[22:59] <snowkidind> ok so what if I'm running an aws AMI
[22:59] <snowkidind> thanks btw
[22:59] <kk4ewt> kernell, correct /dev/sda is not a mount point
[22:59] <k1l> snowkidind: hmm, does a "ls -al /tmp" list old stuff?
[22:59] <disi> in which package would i find configure?
[22:59] <kk4ewt> its the your first hd
[22:59] <kernell> kk4ewt, but how can I create one for /dev/sda ?
[23:00] <snowkidind> havent tried
[23:00] <kk4ewt> kernell,  fdisk -l |pastebinit
[23:01] <kk4ewt> kernell,  that would be the drive not a partition on the drive
[23:01] <snowkidind> some files from 12/25
[23:01] <k1l> snowkidind: since 14.04 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man8/tmpreaper.8.html  should handle /tmp cleaning
[23:01] <royal_screwup3> Hey, guys! :)
[23:01] <linuxnoob92> Hi!
[23:02] <snowkidind> I think i will just make my own tmp dir and manage it
[23:02] <squinty> disi, http://packages.ubuntu.com/  -> "Search the contents of packages"
[23:02] <disi> squinty: thanks
[23:02] <kernell> kk4ewt, here it is, all commands I tried; paste.ubuntu.com/23754839
[23:02] <k1l> snowkidind: why invent the wheel when there is already tmpreaper which can run on cron
[23:03] <royal_screwup3> I'm a linux newbie and was wondering if everyone could pitch in their most useful sudo apt downloads on the terminal.
[23:04] <k1l> royal_screwup3: everyone got different taste and workloads. so better think of what you want to do and look what programs are there in the ubuntu repos
[23:04] <tomreyn> rangergord2:
[23:04] <tomreyn> uh sorry, ignore me
[23:05] <royal_screwup3> k1l: I'm really looking for the essentials, the "must-haves" for every user
[23:06] <k1l> royal_screwup3: the must have ones should be already installed :)   look at omgubuntu website which do list such top10 of things to do after install etc.
[23:06] <disi> squinty: idk which one i've tried a bunch :/ which configure always comes up empty
[23:08] <linuxnoob92> Hey guys. Im sorrry if im bothering you. Ive spent two hours googling my problem, but i couldnt fix it. I just installed Ubuntu 16.04.1-amd-64, and it says everything went good. After rebooting, it went straight into Windows. No grub(?) showing, just Windows stuff. When trying to reinstall it, the installer also says Windows 10 and Ubuntu are installed. Ive tested everything google told me to do. Im  running a self-built pc if tha
[23:11] <kernell> any suggestion to my paste?
[23:12] <k1l> kernello: there is no sda in fdisk output
[23:13] <kernello> k1l, indeed, but in disk utility I see the disk named sda
[23:14] <pavlos> kernello, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit
[23:16] <kernello> pavlos, it is this: paste.ubuntu.com/23754987
[23:17] <k1l> kernello: what is the real issue? a broken disk?
[23:17] <pavlos> kernello, how about lsblk
[23:17] <kernello> k1l, correct
[23:18] <k1l> kernello: dmesg | pastebinit
[23:18] <kernello> pavlos, this time it shows; paste.ubuntu.com/23754998
[23:18] <k1l> but it doesnt look good for that disk
[23:19] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: what you posted there was cut off at "Im  running a self-built pc if tha" due to the maximum line length on IRC.
[23:20] <pavlos> kernello, sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
[23:20] <linuxnoob92> Sorry, i wrote "if that matters"
[23:20] <linuxnoob92> @tomreyn
[23:21] <kernello> k1l, the output is huge, I'm pasting it in a minute :)
[23:22] <kernello> k1l, here it is: paste.ubuntu.com/23755012
[23:22] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: during the final step of the installation, the ubuntu installer may / should have asked you where to install grub. did it, and if so, which choice did you make there?
[23:22] <k1l> kernello: "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999" will paste it directly and output an url
[23:23] <kernello> k1l, thank you very much, for this time I used pastebinit
[23:23] <linuxnoob92> tomreyn: I cant remember it asking me that :/
[23:23] <kernello> pavlos, is smartctl correct? it says command not found
[23:24] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: it's possible the graphical / default installer doesn't ask and just does it, i'm not sure right now
[23:24] <pavlos> kernello, you dont have the smart tools installed. But the dmesg shows plenty I/O errors
[23:25] <linuxnoob92> tomreyn: Yeah i used the graphical one. I just used "Install with Windows 10" and didnt do any partition stuff
[23:25] <k1l> kernello: tbh, that drive looks dead
[23:25] <pavlos> kernello, sudo apt-get install smartmontools
[23:25] <Fafi> Hi
[23:25] <kernello> pavlos, installing :)
[23:25] <Fafi> I'm a nice guy
[23:26] <Fafi> lookin' for IT chick
[23:26] <kernello> k1l, indeed
[23:26] <k1l> Fafi: this channel is for technical support talk only. see ##chat channel for regular chat
[23:26] <Fafi> crap
[23:27] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: okay i guess then it's all fully automatic there. try to hold down the shift key while booting. it may make the grub screen show up, where you could then choose to run ubuntu. also, if this doesn't work, see whether your bios provides a boot menu where you can select the device to boot from.
[23:27] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: also, when shutting down windows, also hold down shift.
[23:28] <linuxnoob92> Okay, let me pull up irc on my phone so i can chat with you guys haha
[23:28] <Fafi> hold
[23:28] <Fafi> on
[23:28] <Fafi> down
[23:28] <Fafi> shi
[23:28] <Fafi> f
[23:28] <Fafi> t
[23:28] <tomreyn> Fafi: do you have an ubuntu support question?
[23:29] <kernello> pavlos, it's ready: paste.ubuntu.com/23755041
[23:29] <tomreyn> linuxnoob92: i meant hold down shift while you select the option to shut down windows, not the entire time it shuts down
[23:29] <linuxnoob92> okay
[23:29] <Fafi> tomreyan\
[23:29] <Fafi> yes
[23:30] <Fafi> how to copy passwd from my colleauge mint laptop to my pc

[23:35] <photon156> Hello all, ubuntu does not boot for me.
[23:35] <kernello> pavlos, it happened before that changing the superblock fixed the whole thing..I was trying to see if it'd work, but I couldn't come to that point
[23:35] <tomreyn> linuxnoobphone: sorry, i'm not sure what went wrong then. you probably have some uefi secureboot related issue. others around here have been quite successful in helping people fix it, but i'm not so much ionto it, yet.
[23:35] <Fafi> you know shit about linux
[23:36] <Fafi> better buy office for dumbies
[23:36] <photon156> Anyone?

[23:36] <Ben64> photon156: need more details
[23:36] <linuxnoobphone> tomreyn: no worries! i appreciate your help
[23:36] <Fafi> buy macbook

[23:37] <photon156> Ubuntu 16.04/16.10 not booting (http://askubuntu.com/q/868534/494761) Ben64
[23:37] <Ben64> photon156: oh is it you from the other day who kept not giving enough info
[23:37] <photon156> Hah
[23:38] <photon156> I have all the info I can think relevant on that page
[23:38] <photon156> I think my problem has to do with my SanDisk 850 evo ssd
[23:38] <Ben64> sounds like a hardware problem really
[23:38] <photon156> Ubuntu used to install without problems on my hdd
[23:39] <joebobjoe> Why was udisks2 mount location changed to /media/$user? This explanation doesn't make any sense (it's referenced in the wiki, too) https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2152773&p=12684078#post12684078
[23:39] <basedmars> is it an uefi or bios based pc?
[23:39] <photon156> Do I need to install drivers or something somehow?
[23:39] <Ben64> no
[23:39] <photon156> Bios
[23:39] <photon156> Award Bios
[23:40] <Ben64> try installing on a different drive
[23:40] <photon156> I'd rather install on the faster ssd :/
[23:41] <photon156> I will I guess
[23:41] <basedmars> ssd shouldn't be a problem now on latest ubuntu afaik.
[23:41] <Ben64> maybe that particular one is a problem
[23:41] <photon156> It is for me =P
[23:41] <pavlos> kernello, the lsblk did not show any partitions in sda. Is the disk blank?
[23:41] <Ben64> eliminate variables, its how to diagnose problems
[23:41] <basedmars> could you make a new partition table or something. either gpt or mbr
[23:41] <photon156> Thing is, it did install with some trouble before and work perfectly, but not now
[23:42] <photon156> Mbr
[23:42] <photon156> Which will show a greater performance improvement with an ssd over hdd: win10 or ubuntu?
[23:43] <Ben64> both
[23:43] <basedmars> I can't say. Haven't used win10
[23:43] <photon156> Which will it improve more *
[23:43] <Ben64> both
[23:43] <kernello> pavlos, yes
[23:43] <basedmars> Can we tweak io scheduler and all those tweak performance on win10?
[23:43] <photon156> :/
[23:43] <kernello> pavlos, I tried to partition it via disk utility, but it gave error
[23:44] <pavlos> kernello, given the I/O errors, not sure what you can do
[23:44] <photon156> Alright, I guess win10 is going on the ssd. Thanks all (really)
[23:44] <pavlos> kernello, you can use parted (if you know it)
[23:44] <kernello> pavlos, yes, I know it, totally forgot! :)
[23:44] <kernello> trying now
[23:46] <basedmars> Yeah sorry we couldn't be much more of a help photon156. You've been asking this since yesterday. It's so strange actually.
[23:47] <kernello> pavlos, gparted first showed the device, but gave i/o error when I tried to partition it, after that it didnt even show it anymore
[23:47] <kernello> not much left to do, huh?
[23:48] <root____2> just installed ubuntu 16.04 LTS, wanted to turn on desktop shareing, have done but no joy.  have disabled ufw ans port scsn only shows SSH  any idea's?
[23:48] <pavlos> kernello, dont think so, the I/O errors bug me
[23:48] <Ben64> root____2: how did you turn it on, and why are you running as root
[23:48] <kernello> pavlos, maybe better I give up here :) thank you so much!
[23:49] <pavlos> kernello, np
[23:49] <root____2> ben64: testlab, just jumped on.
[23:49] <linuxnoobphone> tomreyn: my BIOS is UEFI Dualbios, should i do a UEFI install?
[23:49] <kernello> k1l, many thanks!
[23:49] <root____2> ben64: i used GUI
[23:50] <tomreyn> linuxnoobphone: if you want to dual boot windows and linux, and windows was installed in efi mode, you want linux installed in efi mode, too. if not dualboot, disable secureboot and use legacy bios mode.
[23:51] <tomreyn> kernello: likely broken disk, replace it. if it works ona  different OS, consider a firmware update.
[23:51] <tomreyn> kernello: your issue is not related to fdisk / parted
[23:52] <root____2> Ben64: any idea?
[23:52] <kv102t> q
[23:52] <Ben64> kv102t: well you didn't really answer the questions
[23:52] <kv102t> i used the GUI ticketed the box, set a password
[23:53] <lumasa> ciao

[23:54] <Bashing-om> kernello: I do have a thought, We have anything to work with ? what returns ' sudo dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep -i backup ' where the sda1 is the target where the root file system for the SSD is located . Yours MAY be different .
