SuperLagreisio: <shrug> that's what LVM does for the root filesystem, by default00:00
reisioSuperLag: what was the command you gave to specify 100G?00:00
derarschhey ist das gut00:00

reisiosmells like germanic00:01
SuperLagreisio: first, I resized the disk to 100G in VMware (while the VM was down)00:02
reisiooh so via some proprietary, binary gui?00:02
reisiono wonder you aren't getting reliable results00:02
SuperLag:P00:02
SuperLagI was getting to the lvextend part00:02
reisiothat part doesn't matter00:02
reisiothe "100g" is defined by vmware00:03
SuperLaglvextend -R -l +100%FREE <mount>00:03
reisiodoesn't matter, it's limited by the actual size that vmware provides00:03
kerananwhi everyone, is there a software were I can mix and create sounds in 3d (hrtf)?00:06
k1l_kerananw: might be worth asking in #ubuntustudio ,too00:08
=== Elijah is now known as Guest48189
kerananwthanks k1l_, i just knew about that chan now. I will ask them about it also.00:11
MylonBHelp, my wireless password changed and I forgot how to input the new one.  I don't have "wireless manager" or any other GUI tool and I vaguely recall editing a text file to input the SSID and password but I forgot how to do that.  Can someone help?00:12
k1lMylonB: you dont run network-manager on your desktop?00:13
MylonBI guess it was never installed or something or other.  I don't know why it's not there.00:15
k1li dont know what you did. but the standard desktops come with network-manager.00:16
mcphailkerananw: I've played with sound emitters in blender, but can't remember if hrtf was implemented00:16
MylonBI installed Kubuntu, and then got fed up with KDE quirks and installed XFCE.00:16
k1lbut you can look at /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf or /etc/network/interfaces . i dont know what you did00:17
MylonBThat sounds familiar, k1l.00:17
MylonBThere is no "wpa_supplicant.conf" in that folder.00:19
kerananwthanks mcphail, I have seen someone who was kinda doing it on blender also but I'm not quite familiar with that sw. I was kinda looking of a pretty simple apps but I'm considering on using blender if I couldn't find any. Also, I would like to ask if blender exports mp3 files or any audio format(wav, flac, etc)00:19
kerananw?00:19
MylonBAnd there doesn't appear to be anything in /etc/network/interfaces.  Just 3 lines and none network related.00:20
MylonBMeh, I'll plug in an ether net so I can apt-get00:21
mcphailkerananw: I haven't exported an audio-only file from blender, but you could cerainly export to, say, mp4 and extract the audio from that. Wouldn't surprise me if you could export audio files. It is a bit of a swiss army knife of a program00:22
mcphailkerananw: the only other way I've seen it done is in raw openal code. Not user friendly!00:23
MylonBOkay, now I'm confused.00:23
MylonBapt-get: "Network-manager is already the newest version". "network-manager: command not found"00:24
k1lMylonB: there should be an icon in the system tray00:24
MylonBI think I removed it by accident.00:24
kerananwmcphail: Ok thanks. I might go with the blender route. :)00:25
mcphailkerananw: ha! Good idea ;)00:27
kerananwmcphail: I've got a reply from the studio chan and someone suggested non-mixer ( it might be a software ). I might try this one out first before moving to blender. Thanks for the help00:27
MylonOkay, here I am on my laptop.  So how do I get network manager back on my system tray?00:28
Term1nal16.10 Unity, I have "Open in Terminal" twice in my right-click menu in the file browser.00:28
Term1nalAlso, windows network shares not saving still.00:29
kerananwI guess you have to install an applet for that Mylon? As far as I remember00:30
MylonI thought I had it.00:33
ByarlantHi00:34
l0llip0phi00:34
ByarlantI have a question: if I do a standard install network-manager works just fine, but if I first do a minimal install and later install network-manager it just doesn't work00:36
ByarlantAny ideas? I already tried modifying /etc/network/interfaces00:37
naccByarlant: you don't use /e/n/i if you are using network-manager00:37
Byarlantand Network-manager.conf00:37
ByarlantYeah, I commented everything except for lo00:38
naccByarlant: i would suggest using NM to modify settings, and not munging files yourself (and if you aren't using a GUI, use nmcli)00:38
ByarlantTried nmcli, device stays always unmanaged00:39
ByarlantAnd I noticed that /var/run/NetworkManager is empty00:40
naccByarlant: did you make sure to start network manager?00:40
ByarlantOn another machine I have many files there00:40
naccByarlant: are you using desktop or server?00:40
ByarlantDesktop00:40
naccByarlant: i would use the GUI, then, and configure it from the NM applet00:41
ByarlantYeah, I can add ethernet from the applet, but it stays unmanaged00:42
=== blade is now known as Guest12506
ByarlantAnyways, thanks for your suggestions :)00:44
ByarlantI've been trying to make it work for two days, without success00:45
MylonI tried using nmcli, but I don't know how to use it to connect.00:45
reisioMylon: try nmtui instead00:45
MylonThat's how I noticed my wifi network changed.00:46
MylonI think that'll work, thanks.00:46
rocket__hi00:46
rocket__is it hard to install a vpn?00:46
rocket__and with a vpn is my server secure and not hackable :P00:47
kk4ewtrocket__,  no00:47
rocket__kk4ewt, can you give me some  hints?00:48
kk4ewtis your server in a safe wrapped with a chain and dropped in a deep ocean trench?00:48
rocket__a vpn makes it harder to hack right00:48
rocket__i mean you need a key and so on00:48
kk4ewtno its another way in00:48
rocket__2048 bit key00:48
rocket__so wahts the best protection you recommend00:49
kk4ewtit makes your data safer because the data is encrypted00:49
stoner19all of a sudden when I press tab in the terminal it tells me "-bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: Read-only file system" rather than filling the tab shortcut for a directory or file00:49
stoner19anyone else experienced this?00:50
kk4ewtrocket__,  having a  vpn doesnt help if you are doing other things you shouldnt on the server00:50
rocket__what shouldnt i do?00:50
kk4ewtlike running ftp00:50
kk4ewttelnet00:50
rocket__i just want some server with almost no service00:50
reisiostoner19: 'read-only file system', pretty specific00:50
rocket__beside git00:50
rocket__noftp00:50
rocket__nothing00:51
rocket__only git00:51
rocket__maybe ssh00:51
kk4ewtand how are serving that git to the rest of the world00:51
rocket__via vpn00:51
stoner19trying to do anything else, such as update I get sudo: unable to open /var/lib/sudo/stone/24: No such file or directory00:51
rocket__via vpn :D00:51
reisioa "vpn" the way most people use them is nothing but a proxy00:51
rocket__git via cpn00:51
reisionot that proxies aren't useful00:51
mars79hi, I have a question about mounting  second hard drive, the ubuntu help page states: sudo chown -R USERNAME:USERNAME /media/mynewdrive. Wouldn't sudo chown -R USERNAME /media/mynewdrive also be enough? Hence, why twice USERNAME?00:51
=== Guest12506 is now known as blaadeee
rocket__ok what do u recommend me?00:51
=== blaadeee is now known as bladeee
rocket__reisio, kk4ewt00:51
stoner19bbl to try and solve this00:52
kk4ewtrocket__,  to do some research and test it00:52
reisiomars79: depends00:52
rocket__i have no time for this00:52
reisiomars79: but they aren't equivalent commands00:52
rocket__i want some answer00:52
kk4ewtrocket__,  we cant answer because we are not on your server and can look around00:52
apestaterocket__, I don't recommend u.00:52
kk4ewtand we are not google00:53
mars79reisio, what is the difference?00:53
apestateread a book00:53
rocket__dont recommend me :D00:53
kk4ewtmars79,  one replaces the owner the other replaces the owner and owning group00:53
rocket__this is not helpful!!!! :D00:53
reisiomars79: what kk4ewt said00:54
rocket__ok if i install a basic ubuntu00:54
rocket__server00:54
rocket__is it safe?00:54
rocket__without anything00:54
apestatewhat are you asking?00:54
rocket__if its safe the sever isntall to make it connect to the inet00:55
rocket__sorry im no devop00:55
apestateno it isn't safe to connect anything to the net.00:55
apestateit's not safe to use electricity00:55
rocket__so you have a big trust in your OS00:55
apestatestop trolling please00:56
rocket__haha00:56
rocket__me?00:56
rocket__you are the only ones trolling me00:56
wedgierocket__: if all ou want is git and ssh then an ubuntu server install sounds right for you.00:56
rocket__i ask serious questions00:56
apestateI came to ask if there was a disk image tool that can select between different filesystems00:56
rocket__and you just talk BS00:56
rocket__wedgie, first good answer thanks00:56
rocket__wedgie, is there anything i should care about regarding security00:57
mars79but in case USERNAME:USERNAME I set ownership to me and my own group, other users won benefit from it if I understand it correctly, so better USERNAME:USERS? That way I keep ownership and other users can also write to it?00:57
wedgierocket__: of course. But that is a *very* broad question that we can't possibly hope to answer fully in IRC. Keep it up to date, don't expose services to the internet, and you should be fine for the most part.00:58
efloidis there a way to apply these kernel updates and not have to reboot?  I thought with Linux there was a way for kernels to be updated without needing to reboot?00:58
ByarlantRocket: managing your own server is hard, if you only want git why not use an existing service?00:58
rocket__wedgie, ok i dont do that00:58
rocket__and i update00:58
rocket__i set to autoupdate00:58
wedgierocket__: are you using this to *host* git services, or do you intend to ssh *to* the box and use git locally?00:59
rocket__wedgie, does a vpn make sense in terms of security?00:59
apestateno00:59
rocket__wedgie, no no ssh to the box00:59
wedgierocket__: that depends on the question. VPNs are to secure traffic going from one place to another, or to provide secure access to an environment from the outside.00:59
NginUSWhat's the best way to use different versions of php in different nginx vhosts?01:00
rocket__ok01:00
rocket__yes i want that too01:00
rocket__secure traffic01:00
apestateNginUS why not virtualbox?01:00
rocket__somehow the universe shines on encryption so why not01:00
rocket__vpn01:00
wedgierocket__: well, secure traffic from where to where? If you're going to the Internet then the traffic has to leave the VPN at some point.01:01
apestatewhere is the server01:01

wedgieNginUS: If nobody in here has an answer I'd consider asking in #nginx01:02
rocket__wedgie, ok you helped me alreeady01:02
rocket__so i will get the server version01:03
rocket__and install vpn01:03
rocket__for encrypted traffic01:03
wedgierocket__: from what you've described i don't think a vpn will do you any good. Also, do you intend to sit physically in front of this box?01:03
NginUSwedgie: Yea- just got my first response there after  waiting 10 minutes, which is why I came here...01:03
rocket__i hope ubuntu is not that easy to hack01:03
rocket__no not really01:03
rocket__its a server in my office01:03
rocket__ppl from all over the world will commit01:04
NginUSSeems the standard repos in 16.04 LTS don't include any php switching tools like phpenv, brew, etc01:04
rocket__i do sit behind the box01:04
rocket__but i wont maintain it really01:04
rocket__or care about it once it runs01:04
apestaterocket__, use debian jesse instead01:08

rocket__i thought about debian01:08
rocket__its more secure right01:08
apestateoh yeah01:08
rocket__ok01:08

rocket__it should not so easy to hack01:10
rocket__ata ll01:10
apestatenah you've got systemd01:10

apestateI got here after you, genius01:20
wedgierocket__: your questions are too broad. It's like asking "Is it safe to drive a ford?"01:20
rocket__not really01:20
wedgiereally.01:20
rocket__if im familiar with the topic01:20
rocket__i can say01:20

rocket__but if you use xy take care of xyz01:21
rocket__im 20years+ dev01:21
wedgierocket__: and there are a *lot* of xyz variables.01:23
rocket__what you basically tell me is01:23
rocket__its not safe01:23
rocket__so i have to assume its crap01:23
rocket__os01:23
rocket__not safe01:23
wedgieit's a safe as anything else.01:23
rocket__you give me the feeling ubuntu is a piece of crap which is not safe01:23
rocket__is i install it out of the box and connect it to the internet01:23
wedgierocket__: everyone in this room uses ubuntu. Kind of a biased audience.01:24
apestateI say it's not safe01:24
apestateI only came here because it's an active # not because I use ubuntu which is the work of the NSA and the devil himself placed systemd and tainted the kernel01:25
rocket__you see again01:26
rocket__wedgie, if you talk like that usually its crap01:26
apestatethis person thinks his nitwit social gaslighting is going to get done what he wants done from you nerds01:26
wedgierocket__: no car is safe if the driver doesn't know how to drive. Computers aren't so different.01:26
apestaterocket__, you should try the distribution gaslight01:27
apestateI believe it's a spin off of fedora01:27
wedgieapestate: your trolling isn't helping.01:27
apestatethey use systemd also but, yanno.01:27
wedgierocket__: I don't think anyone here can answer your questions to your satisfaction. Your best course of action is to go on google and do some reading. Good luck to you.01:28
apestateI'm not trolling, I'm telling you gaslighting is a thing and this rocket is using it as a tool on you.  he drags a line out of you then gaslights01:28
rocket__so you are not very convinced of ubuntu01:28
rocket__no i just wont install the server version01:28
rocket__because you told me its not secure01:29
rocket__thats what i did read between the lines01:29

Max11_7and i need to fix it without being roo02:58
Dako300Specifically what did you do?02:58
Max11_7um02:58
wedgietpw_rules: i'm only guessing but i always assumed that those popups were a frontend for sudo02:58
Max11_7i went into visudo02:58
Max11_7and un commented something02:58
tpw_rulesMax11_7: lol welcome to the club02:58
Max11_7lol02:58
tpw_rulesthat's literally what i just did02:59
Max11_7really?02:59
tpw_rulesyes02:59
Max11_7lol02:59
Max11_7did yall come up with a fix?02:59
tpw_rulesno02:59
tpw_rulesprobably liveusb it looks like02:59
Dako300Max11_7: live CDs are the only solutions02:59
Max11_7the only think i have found is a usb02:59
Max11_7ah02:59
Max11_7ok02:59
Max11_7thanks guys ill look into it03:00
wedgieMax11_7: live usb or maybe single user mode03:00
tpw_ruleshm is there any way to shut down safely in this state03:02
tpw_rulesand can i boot into single user with an encrypted root03:03
wedgietpw_rules: lol, quite the mess you're in. You can with encrypted home... never tried with encrypted root03:04
tpw_rulesi mean i assume i can mount it in a live environment03:04
tpw_rulesbut UGH03:04
wedgieyeah, good luck. Uncharted territory for me, I'm afraid.03:05
tpw_ruleswedgie: i just booted into single user mode and it worked fine03:11
tpw_ruleshad to enter the root pw but then i just visudoed it correctly this time and we're back in business03:12
wedgietpw_rules: sweet. Good to know03:12
crazyhorse18hi all.. i need some software that can attempt to copy off everything from a semi-broken hdd03:13
crazyhorse18one that ignores bad-sectors and then just keeps trying to sync off everything it can03:13
tpw_rulescrazyhorse18: ddrescue03:14
tpw_rulesit's easy to use and will read the good areas first then come back to finish the bad ones03:14
crazyhorse18tpw_ruls: nice .. googling :)03:14
crazyhorse18tpw_rules, any thing else i should know about it?03:15
tpw_rulessomething like 'ddrescue /dev/sdx out.img logfile.log' will get you most of it, then you can rerun twiddling with the options to scrape out the last bits03:16
tpw_rulesyou might want to use -d to read the disk directly03:16
tpw_rulesbut other than that, not really03:16
crazyhorse18oh very nice03:17
crazyhorse18so for the backup drive03:17
crazyhorse18is it ok for me to use ntfs?03:17
crazyhorse18that way it'll just work if i plug it into an osx device etc03:17
tpw_rulesthe one you want to put the image on?03:17
crazyhorse18yeah03:18
tpw_rulesosx cannot write exfat03:18
tpw_rulesntfs03:18
tpw_rulesi'd suggest exfat instead03:18
crazyhorse18hmm exfat isin't on my ubutnu list03:18
tpw_rulesno you'll have to install it03:18
tpw_rulesit's a new proprietary microsoft thing so it doesn't come by default03:18
crazyhorse18ah right i see..03:18
tpw_rulesso what kind of disk are you trying to recover?03:19
tpw_rulesis it an osx one?03:19
crazyhorse18is there any reliability difference in terms of these different filesystems?  previously i've only been using ext403:19
crazyhorse186.0tb ext403:19
tpw_rulesehhhhhh. i'd say ntfs and ext4 are probably the same, but probably slightly better on their respective systems03:19
crazyhorse18ST6000DX00003:20
tpw_rulesexfat is designed as a replacement to fat, so it doesn't have fancy features like journaling and stuff03:20
crazyhorse18ah right.. maybe i'll just format it in ext4 then03:20
tpw_rulesah. i was wondering if you were asking about osx to recover an HFS+ drive since i have more sage advice03:20
crazyhorse18i've never had an osx drive die yet03:21
crazyhorse18lucky :)03:21
tpw_rulesi had a very good friend's main drive die03:21
crazyhorse18had 3 failures this year... one cost me thousand dollers to recover the drive03:21
tpw_rulesand when you read certain sectors, the drive locked up and died03:21
crazyhorse18went to 3 places.. they all told me it had died...   4th place said 100% they can get data back from any drive03:22
tpw_rulesi ended up writing a script that controlled ddrescue and a lab power supply to cycle power to the drive when it crashed03:22
crazyhorse18iwas thinking bullshit.. but then they were talking about worst case is they buy an identical drive and take the platters out03:22
crazyhorse18tpw_rules, haha very nice03:22
tpw_rulesyeah those places are crazy03:22
crazyhorse18the guy had the drive working in 1 minute03:22
tpw_rulesand still charged you a grand? ripoff :P03:23
crazyhorse18ah nah  took 5 days to copy the data03:23
tpw_rulesoh03:23
crazyhorse18i'm like errr what.... and he said they have special firmware they use... also he was in some hex editor changing stuff03:23
crazyhorse18didn't seem bothered at all it was in ext4 and was encrypted03:23
crazyhorse18lol.. he needed the encryption key to start extracting the files though03:24
tpw_rulesby the way ddrescue uses the log file to record where it's recovered and where it has to try. it's important to make sure you don't lose it until you're finished. but you can kill ddrescue at any time and it will pick up where it left off from the log03:24
crazyhorse18oh very nice03:25
crazyhorse18ironically the drive started having problems when we rsyncing stuff of it03:25
tpw_rulesdo you have a moment to talk about ZFS, sir?03:25
crazyhorse18oh yes.. zfs03:25
tpw_rulesuse it03:26
tpw_rulesit's great03:26
wedgiecrazyhorse18: lol, not too uncommon. Copying everything off a fairly intensive operation03:26
crazyhorse18zfs sounds very interesting.. i was asking people about it before03:26
wedgie<3's zfs03:26
tpw_rulesask me about it03:26
crazyhorse18and whether it was stable to use in ubuntu03:26
tpw_rulesbeen using it on debian for years so i assume so03:26
crazyhorse18tpw_rules, so as far as i know about zfs.. it has lots of fancy features like checksums to autorepair bitflips03:26
tpw_rulesyeah03:26
crazyhorse18if you have the same file twice or large amont of the same file it'll only store it once03:27
tpw_rulesnah my fav feature is snapshots03:27
tpw_ruleszfs deduplication sucks pretty hard. it's extremely memory and cpu intensive03:27
crazyhorse18oracle it's evil claws into it.. but there's some openzfs03:27
wedgiecrazyhorse18: i don't advise turning on deduplication unless you really know what you're doing03:27
crazyhorse18ok.. so what are the main advantages of using zfs over ext4 / ntfs / extfat03:27
crazyhorse18and can you use it as your boot drive?03:27
wedgiechecksumming and snapshots, mostly03:28
tpw_rulestransparent compression. with lz4 it will compress faster than the disk can write03:28
tpw_rulesand yeah those03:28
wedgieoh yeah, compression. Definitely that03:28
crazyhorse18oh you can store more shit on it?03:28
crazyhorse18because it's compressed03:28
tpw_rulessnapshots are something else. when you snapshot something it's instantly saved03:28
tpw_rulesand then you can send the snapshot over ssh or something to another zfs pool03:28
crazyhorse18snapshots.... like .. so you can go back to an early statee?03:28
tpw_rulesand it will only send what's changed since the last snapshot03:29
tpw_rulesyeah03:29
tpw_rulesand they're free. since it keeps track of every single block, a snapshot only says "here's what all the blocks were then"03:29
crazyhorse18wow03:29
crazyhorse18ok wow03:29
tpw_rulesand you only use more data if you change a file03:29
crazyhorse18what do you guys do for your automated backup systems?03:29
crazyhorse18.... i don't have one, i've always found it a really really difficult problem03:29
tpw_rulestime machine on my osx machines, crashplan everywhere too03:30
crazyhorse18lol.. even though i'm a software engineer my backup system has been copy and paste03:30
tpw_rulesi hear pretty good things about backblaze. crashplan is good but the client is java and sucks03:30
tpw_rulesbackblaze STILL doesn't support linux though >:(03:30
crazyhorse18eh03:30
crazyhorse18linux is our main os03:31
crazyhorse18i mean i could setup systems to dump stuff upto s303:31
tpw_rulescrashplan does. but prepare to sacrifice ram to the Java gods03:31
tpw_rulesoh and yes you can boot off zfs03:31
crazyhorse18but i've just got no idea of a system that would work03:31
crazyhorse18tpw_rules, i need to upgrade to ubuntu 16.04 soon03:31
crazyhorse18so maybe i'll look at converting then03:31
crazyhorse18and i'm guessing zfs can combine with some sort of on-the-fly encryption?03:32
tpw_rulesno, actually03:32
tpw_ruleswell the real one can, but oracle didn't release that bit03:32
tpw_rulesbut i just encrypted the partitions of all the disks I used with LUKS then put zfs on the partitions LUKS exposed03:33
tpw_rulesso i have like /dev/sda-f then luks makes /dev/mapper/sda-f or whatever and zfs is on top of the second one03:35
crazyhorse18oh right i see03:35
crazyhorse18so can i install zfs in ubutnu 14.04?03:35
tpw_rulesluks can link drives together so you can unlock them all with one password03:35
crazyhorse18and have it be stable03:35
tpw_rulesyeah03:35
crazyhorse18open-zfs?03:35
tpw_rulesyou might need a ppa or something03:35
tpw_rulesit's just called zfs on 16.0403:35
tpw_ruleshttp://blog.boyeau.com/quick-install-install-zfs-file-system-on-ubuntu-14-04/03:35
crazyhorse18installin03:35
tpw_rulesbe  prepared to learn a lot of weird terminology tho03:35
tpw_ruleswell not really weird, but zfs people will look at you weird if you start talking about filesystems03:36
tpw_rulesnot really a lot*03:36
crazyhorse18hehe right03:36
tpw_rulesalso zfs does its own raid management03:37

benfitzpatrickwell i tried systemback guys, all it gave me was a snapshot of my system, im not trying to do that, im trying to do a ubuntu remaster..03:50
benfitzpatrickand i tried systemback, remastersys, respin, and pinguybuilder, no luck. all they did was give me an iso with default settings and a wallpaper03:51
benfitzpatrickthat i dont want03:51
benfitzpatricki want to copy my custom themes and settings..but it wont ironically03:52
roboterhi, i just started using ubuntu. how do i asign multiple keyboard shortcuts to open a terminal with gnome?03:55
deeglazeroboter: go to the "Keyboard" option in the settings window, and "application shortcuts" tab.03:57
roboterI did that03:57
roboterbut how do i assign multiple ones at the same time?03:57
deeglazeYou can add multiple shortcuts that run the same command to open the terminal.03:58
roboterif i click on it it just changes the shortcut03:58
deeglazeright, you click "+ Add" without messing with any existing shortcut.03:59
benfitzpatrickwell, im stumped03:59
stupidhello03:59
benfitzpatrickwell, idk what to do to fix my issue04:00
ArcaireHeya, I'm trying to (re)install Ubuntu on a laptop I have. Running default settings on the USB it freezes on the Ubuntu splash screen - after GRUB but before it gets to the installer. If I force it into text mode by modding the GRUB arguments from 'quiet splash' to 'text',  it loads until I see "detect the available GPUs and deal with any system changes",04:00
Arcairewhich has no timeout limit. It then sits there forever, counting up. The laptop has a discrete Nvidia card, using Optimus, and I think Nouveau is outright broken for it. Is there any way around this to get it installed?04:00
robotermaybe im stupid, i just see the "open terminal" within starter and if i click on "+" i get to own shortcuts and i dont know a command for terminal04:02
benfitzpatrick-shrugs-04:03
deeglazeroboter: depends on which terminal emulator you want to use. "xterm" is a common choice. You can also copy whatever command is used for the existing shortcut that opens a terminal.04:04
benfitzpatrickdeeglaze: i've gotten no help yet04:04
deeglazebenfitzpatrick: I'm sorry, I'm not able to help you.04:05
benfitzpatrickwell i have tried 4 different tools to make a custom ISO, its not working04:06
benfitzpatrickand i googled all day and night for 2 days, nothing fixed it04:06
tatertotsbenfitzpatrick: keep trying..you'll get it..one day04:07
benfitzpatricktatertots: well idk what to do04:07
benfitzpatricktatertots: everyone i talked to said to come here and get an answer04:07
roboterdeeglaze: xterm opens one, just out of curiosity: how do i copy the "old" choice? i cant see it and its different04:08
benfitzpatricktatertots: so i dont get why it'd be so hard for one of you to tell me what to do? it's not that painful/hard to help someone out -sighs-04:08
Ben64benfitzpatrick: relax04:08
=== Zren_ is now known as Zren
benfitzpatrickBen64: i just need someone to help .. im sorry04:09
Bashing-omArcaire: What release ? As I too have a new Nvidia card that has no support in 14.04 ( 16.04 picks it up ) .. and in 14.04 I must boot with the nomodeset boot parameter .04:09
benfitzpatrickim just frustrated because i've waited almost 20-30 minutes and no replies04:09
Ben64benfitzpatrick: being annoying isn't going to help04:10
benfitzpatrickBen64: well i understand that but waiting doesn't seem to do much either04:10
tatertotsbenfitzpatrick: relax, other might have or know a different or better way of doing what it is you want to do...but you'll have to observe long enough to be enlightened about that04:10

Ben64people here are volunteers, they don't work for you. if you pay someone then you'll get help faster04:12
Bashing-omArcaire: Now once installed a proprietary driver may work for ya where nouveau is not available .04:12
benfitzpatrickBen64: if i had money04:12
Ben64then be patient04:12
benfitzpatrickok..04:13
roboterdeeglaze: it was gnome-terminal - i figured it out by brute force, thank you for your help!04:15
deeglaze:thumbsup:04:16
roboterso im still interested how to look up the commands behind the entrys, even though its not important at the moment04:17
deeglazeThat I'm not entirely sure what to tell you since our window managers are different and I can't really divine what your setup looks like.04:18
deeglazeI use xfce, but I just happened to know that shortcuts and "keyboard" are paired in just about all the different window managers' settings control panel.04:19

CuChulaindHello. I wish to use a different DNS server. I placed the 3 I want in /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf (uncommenting prepend section) however cat /etc/resolv.conf shows loopback and 192.168.1.104:33
deeglazebackslash is the wrong thing to use here.04:33
metaresolveshouldn't it deliver me an answer to find?04:33

metaresolvehttp://pastebin.com/5kvzLg2604:34
Bashing-omnetsnail: IIf the file is in your home directory try as ' find . -name tutorial ' .04:39
metaresolvei know, that/s why i wondered if that would work. however, that's what i was told to try04:40
JonelethIrenicuswhat is a good thin laptop that is powerful and you can connect an eGPU to it?04:40
metaresolvei just want to search the whole computer for the tutorial data in postgresql. where is my "program files" folder in ubuntu?04:40
metaresolvei give up. i was trying to find it through commands but i give up.04:41
metaresolveno, i don't give up, please, someone help me. it's so simple but i can't do it.04:43
tatertotsCuChulaind: you can set static ip settings in the gui network settings and or network manager04:44
metaresolveno, i hvaze another way. never mind.04:44
CuChulaindafter editing dhclient.conf adding 3 dns servers, restarting dhclient, cat /etc/resolv.conf doesn't show those address. where do I need to change the servers I use?04:47
tatertotsCuChulaind: 192.168.1.1 is handling what dns servers get populated04:48
tatertotsCuChulaind: so if you want to use those DNS servers use static ip settings on the computer and specify those DNS servers...simple :)04:50
tatertotsCuChulaind: otherwise manage 192.168.1.1 to function appropriately04:51
CuChulaindtatertots, Thank you. How can I then verify what DNS server I am using?04:52
tatertotsCuChulaind: for which type of lookups?04:53
CuChulaindwebsites04:53
tatertotsCuChulaind: for example ubuntu.com04:53
CuChulaindtatertots, yes04:53
CuChulaindtatertots, 192.168.1.1 is my firewall, which should be set to different DNS other than my isp, looking to check04:54
tatertotsCuChulaind: nslookup ubuntu.com04:54
CuChulaindtatertots, it points to 192.16804:54
CuChulaind.1.104:54
tatertotsCuChulaind: the responding server is listed then it's response04:55
tatertotsCuChulaind: are you using static ip settings? yes or no04:55
CuChulaindtatertots, I don't know, how can I tell?04:55
CuChulaindtatertots, as in DHCP leases?04:56
CuChulaindtatertots, if so, yes the machine I am on has a static address on my LAN, my ISP gives me a dynamic addy04:58
crazyhorse18if i was to install ubuntu from scratch.. should i be installing 16.04 or 16.1005:01
crazyhorse18i mainly do software development, node.js etc05:01
tatertotsCuChulaind: cat /etc/network/interfaces|nc termbin.com 999905:02
tatertotsCuChulaind: share url/link here05:02
CuChulaindtatertots, nslookup returns 192.168.1.1 for Server and 192.168.1.1#53 for address05:02
CuChulaindtatertots, http://termbin.com/ywol05:03
tatertotsCuChulaind: isn't 192.168.1.1 your router? yes05:04
CuChulaindyes05:04
tatertotsCuChulaind: your router is handing out ip addresses masks and dns addresses to your computer05:06
tatertotsCuChulaind: you'll need to specify a static ip address if you don't want the network settings handed to you by your own router, or simply manage the router to use the DNS servers of your choice05:07
CuChulaindtatertots, In my router, I specified specific DNS servers (that are supposed to override my ISP's default), how can I tell that is working05:07
tatertotsCuChulaind: nmcli dev show|grep DNS|nc termbin.com 999905:09

crazyhorse18hey is updating linux from 15.04 to 16.04 relatively safe?05:16
tatertotsCuChulaind: you've only got a primary of the router meaning the router/modem is handling all name resolutions for the LAN05:16
kbobwafflejock: thanks05:17

xanguacrazyhorse18: you'd have to upgrade to 15.10 first05:17
kbobexots:  /join #ubuntu-es     te entiende?05:17
CuChulaindtatertots, I understand, which is okay, as long as it is using the servers I specified in the router (vs my original ? which was machine specific)05:18
ekaexots: trata con #ubuntu-es05:20
wafflejockCuChulaind, dig command will tell you which DNS server gave you the response for a DNS query05:21
wafflejockCuChulaind, chrome has a built in DNS cache too though if you're doing something through the browser and not seeing the change there would clear the DNS cache in the browser05:21
wafflejockcrazyhorse18, 16.04 is LTS 16.10 is not if you want the latest software and are okay with doing the upgrades every 6 months then 16.10 is fine but if you want something with support for more time 16.04 is a better option05:24
wafflejock!lts | crazyhorse1805:24
ubottucrazyhorse18: LTS means Long Term Support. Until 12.04 LTS versions of Ubuntu were supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; since 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) LTS versions will be supported for 5 years on the desktop and server. The latest LTS version of Ubuntu is !Xenial (Xenial Xerus 16.04.1)05:24
CuChulaindwafflejock, Will try05:25

crazyhorse18is there a chance that it breaks the OS?05:31
nedstarkcrazyhorse18, its always possible to break during a major update.  backing up 1st is a good idea. if you're going from 16.04 to 16.10 the instructions are here https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/upgrade05:34
nedstarkor you can just update 16.04 for its lifespan05:35

CrazyTuxDoes Android OS work in Xubuntu through virtualization?05:43
wafflejockCuChulaind, read back and see you're looking to see if the router is resolving the addresses from the DNS you updated, you can try with dig +trace, to get some more details, I just tried a few times here and I don't always get the same result which is a bit strange but might help05:43
Phanesdoes ubuntu deviate at all from FHS 3.0 anywhere?05:44
nedstarkCrazyTux, you can use virtualbox with android x8605:44
CrazyTuxnedstark, I tried it yesterday on Xubuntu installed on my laptop. The Android OS inside the virtual box was unresponsive. But, another distro Sparky Linux didn't have any problem in running in Virtual Box.05:46
CuChulaindwafflejock, that returned the same thing05:46
PhanesCrazyTux, the descriptors you are using do not actually mean anything05:46
PhanesCrazyTux, try describing the process, and at each point describe what you expected, and what you saw instead05:47
CrazyTuxPhanes, the mouse coursor didn't move at all on Android OS installed inside the Virtual Box.05:47
Phanesalso was your android compiled for x86 or arm?  did the vbox guest arch match that?05:47
Phanesso you got a mouse cursor05:48
Phanes?05:48
Phanesthat would be quite different than 'totally unresponsive', it means you cleared init05:48
CrazyTuxPhanes, it was for x86.05:48
CrazyTuxPhanes, yes. It was too sluggish to be called as responsive.05:48
Phanesoh, so it actually wasn't 'unresponsive' it was responding sluggishly.  that is also differnt.05:49
Phaneswords mean things05:49
Phaneswhat was your host cpu load when the vm was running05:49
CrazyTuxPhanes, yes. Too sluggish to even move the cursor to the appropriate place and change the language in the initial screen.05:50
Phanesdid you have virtualization settings enabled in your bios settings on the host?  was that in use in the vm guest config?05:50
Phanesdid you install the virtual guest display drivers?05:51
CrazyTuxPhanes, I tried another distro, a Debian based distro Sparky Linux. I didn't have any problem with it.05:51
PhanesCrazyTux, understood.  ill come back when you're answering the needed questions asked of you05:52
CrazyTuxThe settings for both Android and Sparky were the same.05:52
* Phanes goes to do something else05:52
=== nchambers is now known as assistantwch
Phanesbtw, anyone know if ubuntu is strict FHS 3.0 compliant or if there are deviations?  where would I find out?05:53
CrazyTuxMy new laptop supports virtualization and it was enabled in the bios settings.05:53
Phaneswhich settings?05:54
CrazyTuxdon't know. I am totally new to such things. I tried this Virtual Box for the first time yesterday.05:55
Phaneswas it a setting marked F_4-VTXLR?05:55
Ve0KVM forever!!!05:56
CrazyTuxPhanes, do Android and Sparky Linux need different settings enabled?05:56
PhanesCrazyTux, let me know when you'll ask what's asked of you answer what i actually asked.05:57
Phaneswhoa this clipboard hotkey got me05:57
CrazyTuxPhanes, I'll do one thing. I'll come back when I am on my new laptop. Now I'm using my old laptop.05:57
PhanesCrazyTux, the settings you checked were enabled, was it called F_4-VTXLR?05:57
CrazyTuxthanks for the help.05:57
Phanesmeh05:58
Ve0Hi 2 all06:00
turistacan anyone tell me if I can use the android phone as ethernet/wiress adapter without using an app?¿06:01
CrazyTuxI tried with both Sparky and Android in Virtual Box with the same settings. Sparky worked but Android didn't.06:01
CrazyTuxWill come back later, with all the details.06:01
PhanesCrazyTux, i will no longer help you until you are actually checking things06:01

CrazyTuxPhanes, really sorry. My new laptop is not accessible now. Will come back later.06:02
newcoderDoes ubuntu have same name for a package like debian?06:02
PhanesCrazyTux, no worries, just requires boots on ground to fix things on ground06:02
zhou_xingyunewcoder, most of all is same06:03

turistathx by the link, gonna check it out06:07
ItalianBreadAny help on figuring this out?06:08
PhanesItalianBread, http://www.geforce.com/drivers06:08
Phanesit literally tells you06:08
ItalianBreadOh, okay. Last time I did this, I did it through terminal, and it screwed up the OS, making me reinstall it. Luckily I'm new to this so I had nothing to lose, haha06:09
PhanesItalianBread, you'll do that a hundred times before you're competent with less-than-browsing management of your system06:10
PhanesItalianBread, if you want to make that less times06:10
Phanesread the docs06:10
Phanesor ask06:10
Phanesand fix it06:11
Phaneswhen you break it06:11
ItalianBreadI don't have anything against Linux, lol. I purposely downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 as a dual boot system with Windows 10 to tinker with it :)06:11
Phanesi dont know what youre really trying to say06:12
ItalianBreadI dual booted Ubuntu with Windows 10. That was because I wanted to learn about Linux, so I'm fine with reinstalling it a few times06:12
ItalianBreadI had a 2TB Hard Drive anyway, might as well put it to some use.06:13
Phanesyou'll lose your windows install a few times that way06:13
ItalianBreadNah, I still have it on me xD06:13
ItalianBreaddual booting allocates 2 partitions so that your other OS stays unscratched06:14
Phanesthat's nice.  make sure and let everyone know you were warned when you bork your bootloader or misclick in the installer and overwrite data06:14
Phanesyou will06:14
Phanesuse separate disks not partitions, you'll thank me06:14
ItalianBreadjeez, such a downer xD this is a secondary OS. I'm not going to be using it nearly as much. And yeah, I'm planning on getting one of those soon06:15
ItalianBreadI have enough money to actually make a secondary server, so I should be able to work on that soon.06:15
Phanesnot doubting your diligence06:16
ItalianBreadanyway, thanks Phanes. I'll make sure to stay more careful later on about this.06:16
Phanesit's just something everyone does when they come into it06:16
nedstarki dual boot on multiple pc's and my mbr rarely gets overwritten except for major windows updates and on macs. this bootable iso can usually restore grub on windows pc's https://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/06:16
ItalianBreadyep, thanks for the advice.06:17
ItalianBreadnow that I have the driver installer downloaded, do I just double click the .run file?06:18
Phanesno, next is reading the docs06:19
Phanesdont take driver blobs lightly06:19
macbox:quit06:19
PhanesItalianBread, the driver is actually a kernel module so it warrants that level of care06:20
ItalianBreadwhat do you mean?06:20
Phanesi mean read the install instructions06:20
yourname2:quit06:21
=== yourname2 is now known as underd0g
wafflejockItalianBread, it's generally advisable to use the additional drivers dialog for installing the drivers or switching between the open source and closed source driver, if you install from a .run file it's outside the scope of what people will support here since it's software outside the repos06:21
wafflejockItalianBread, if you are missing something by not having the proprietary drivers on the latest version then you have to deal with installing and uninstalling .run files based on whoever you get them from06:22
Phanesim surprised its not supported if it's supplied by the same vendor as the card, but fair enough06:22
Phanesthe package should just be a bundled copy of the binary provided by nvidia, if it's not i'd like to know06:23
ItalianBreadI'm pretty sure it is06:23
wafflejockItalianBread, the stuff that comes from the Ubuntu repos is tested by canonical everything else is basically outside the bounds of their support, PPAs or anyone else bundling software can't really be "trusted"06:23
Phaneswhat an odd claim06:23
ItalianBreadokay, so what's my next step, then? I'm so confused at this moment06:24
nedstarkif you trust nvidia enough to run their card's firmware, then using their proprietary driver off their website isn't that big of a leap06:24
wafflejockPhanes, well say someone installs some new version of gtk packages by some third party but now things depending on that break because of something malicious or just plain faulty in that code that was never tested with other packages06:24
Phanesan nvidia-provided driver has a shorter chain of custody than an ubuntu-provided copy of that same driver, i never understood it (not arguing, just interested in the philosophy there)06:24
wafflejockI'm not saying you shouldn't trust them or should trust the repository copy of some closed source software but can't expect canonical to offer support for third party software really either06:25
ItalianBreadand can you maybe make this easier to understand? I'm still as new as can be to Linux, so, I'm sorry if I'm making this tedious.06:25
Phanesmeh.  i dont really see the diff between that and putting specialized ports on a laptop that can only be bought by the vendor of the laptop06:26
nedstarknvidia has support chat linked on their website, they support their cards06:26
wafflejockItalianBread, no worries I'm just telling you if you come here with some PPAs installed and ask for support or install a binary from somewhere else you'll be hard pressed to get support in here06:26
ItalianBreadwell, wafflejock, all I have so far is the .run file from the nvidia website.06:27
ItalianBreadis there a way to check whether the drivers are already installed by any chance?06:27
wafflejockItalianBread, yeah right now you can go to the launcher and type additional drivers, launch that gui and see what version of the driver you could just switch to in there06:27
ItalianBreadone unknown driver shows up06:28
ItalianBread"Unknown device" "This device is not working" "Using processor microcode for AMD CPUs from amd64-microcode (proprietary)"06:29
tatertotsItalianBread: hi i don't have as much patience as i used to, install inxi, it can be found in ubuntu official repositories making it easy to find, and easy to download using your favorite method, just let me know once you have inxi installed06:31
wafflejockItalianBread, that just means proprietary drivers aren't loaded for that device but surprised you don't see your gpu there as well06:31
ItalianBreadI'm just as surprised06:31
wafflejockItalianBread, you can run lspci -v, to show your devices and the kernel module loaded06:31
kostkonItalianBread, I'm guessing you have a optimus laptop and you are currently using your intel card06:31
ItalianBreadit's a prebuilt on steroids06:32
ItalianBreadHP Pavilion 500-164 with a GTX 1050, new PSU and case06:32
nedstarkyou need the nvidia-375 driver06:33
wafflejockItalianBread, for each device there will typically be a kernel module loaded which is similar to the drivers in Windows, the open source one for nvidia is called nouveau, there are packages for the proprietary ones in the repo... what nedstark said06:34
nedstarkthis explains how http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/10/21/nvidia-375-10-linux-driver-adds-nvidia-1050-gpus-support/06:34
ItalianBreadI see 2 things referring to my GPU. The VGA Controller, and the audio device. @ wafflejock06:34
ItalianBreadAnd yeah, I have the .run file for version 375, wafflejock06:35
tatertotsItalianBread: ok well don't say nobody in #ubuntu tried to make your life easier....take care and good luck06:35
ItalianBreadwho said they haven't helped me06:36
ItalianBreadhad it not been for them, I would have quit tinkering with ubuntu a looong time ago06:36
VulcanJedinedstark: i just got here, but in case I need to check out that link, why would one need version 375 instead of 367 through ppa?06:36
ItalianBreadso, using a PPA would be easier? that's what I did last time but it didn't work out exceptionally06:36
nedstarkVulcanJedi, i'm just finding multiple guides saying 375 for that card06:37
nedstarkhere's another http://sourcedigit.com/21181-install-nvidia-375-10-linux-graphics-driver-on-ubuntu-systems/06:38

k1lmaxx: did you just install that ubuntu? is this a desktop?09:24
maxxk1l, this is an old installed. installed few months back.. inside virtualbox09:25

ubottuPackages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.11:35

ubuntu-studiocfhowlett installation to hdd this is not an option for me for some reasons at the moment, i have 8gb ddr3 ram and a intel i5 are there some boot options that could fix the lag?11:36
ikoniaGuest91285: Ubuntu only ships packages that it considers stable and supportable, while you can get packages or manual builds elsewhere to run any version you want or have the skill to build, there is no promise of compatability or stability on your ubuntu host11:37
cfhowlettubuntu-studio, first option: lighten the load.  unity is a hungry beast.  install lxde or xfce4 and use that instead11:37

vltHello. I’m using Ubuntu and the MATE dektop. I wrote a script that works fine when executed from a terminal window. How can I create a starter button on the desktop that will basically do the same?12:43
MonkeyDustvlt  you have to create a .desktop file12:43
MonkeyDustvlt  this is a basic .desktop file12:45
MonkeyDustvlt  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23797838/12:45
vltMonkeyDust: I did: http://termbin.com/cla712:45
vltMonkeyDust: The problem is it behaves differently:12:46
MonkeyDustvlt  is it executable12:47
vltYes.12:47
vltMonkeyDust: My script runs a vncserver. When run from terminal window manually, everything works fine,12:47
MonkeyDustvlt  there are twe 'Icon' lines in the file12:48
MonkeyDusttwo*12:48
vltbut run from that starter icon the vncserver session "looses" x-window-manager as soon as the script finishes.12:49
vltMonkeyDust: That .desktop file was created by right click -> new starter ...12:49
vltThe second Icon line is for i18n, I guess.12:50
vltBut that doesn’t seem to be the problem here.12:50

SircleMonkeyDust:  yellow_viper  the ls -la is at bottom https://pastebin.mozilla.org/896313412:51
FManyour cron probably doesn't have permission to chmod a file owned by root12:52
MonkeyDustSircle  what FMan says, try   sudo crontab -e12:53
SircleFMan:  the cronis is run by sudo crontab -e as mentioned on line 1 of my paste12:54
SircleMonkeyDust:  ^12:54
tomreynvlt: i don't understand what exactly you mean by "the vncserver session 'looses' x-window-manager", but since it behaves differently when you run it from a terminal and when you run it from the desktop file, it might be good to log the scripts' output to see whether there is any hint provided as to why it malfunctions.12:54
xphereshere is my screenshot: http://130.255.75.240/websites/myarchives/libqt.jpg12:54
FManI think the actual cron job is run by user 'cron' or sth, and it is probably not in your sudoers...12:54
xpheressorry it is in german but basically says my libqt5core is outdated12:55
tomreynvlt, to redirect output of an example command "mycommand" to a file "/tmp/myfile", you run it as: mycommand &> /tmp/myfile12:55
akishi all. i am running xubuntu 16.04.1 and i am using faenza icons for years (with earlier xubuntu distros). Is there any similar (faenza like) icons set available to be recommended?12:55

MartinMaestergfhgf12:57
xpherescan anyone remind my how was the command to install a deb file with missing dependencies?12:57
tomreynvlt: assiming your default shell is bash, you may also want to add this as first line in your script to make it behave similar to your terminal: #!/bin/bash12:58

TuxCrazycan we install Cinnamon DE on Ubuntu?13:36
cfhowlettTuxCrazy, yes13:36
TuxCrazygreat. Then, there is no need for Linux Mint.13:37
TuxCrazyWhy there is no Cubuntu?13:38
cfhowlettTuxCrazy, ?13:38
MonkeyDustTuxCrazy  what's holding you to create it13:38
ioriahttp://www.cubuntu.fr/13:39
BluesKajCinnabuntu :-)13:39
cfhowlettcinnabonbuntu13:39
TuxCrazyI don't have that technical knowledge. I am just an end user.13:39
TuxCrazyBluesKaj, yes. Cinnabuntu.13:39
oneQHey guys, i got a question about the ubuntus "Dash" menu. Can i execute bash aliases with it?13:40
TuxCrazywhat is Dash, btw?13:40
EriC^^oneQ: maybe from alt+f213:40
oneQthe menu that pops up when tapping the super key13:40
EriC^^oneQ: nah13:41
lucianohhey, is UEFI better than legacy?13:41
cfhowlettlucianoh, it's complicated13:41
TuxCrazyok. I'm using Lubuntu. Only that can be run on my old laptop.13:41
lucianohbecause if i boot with uefi it is grey the screen13:41
lucianohbut with legacy works well13:42
cfhowlettso ... problem solved then13:42
ioriaoneQ, you can try with gmrun13:42
BluesKajlucianoh, you didn't install grub to the uefi boot partition13:43
=== scottt is now known as Guest34107
lucianohblueskaj: how to do it?13:43
BluesKaj!uefi | lucianoh13:44
ubottulucianoh: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI13:44
BluesKajlucianoh, just use legacy. if you don't need several partitions13:44
lucianohi have lots of partition13:45
lucianohs13:45
oneQioria, i guess i could just write a script to run my alias and start it with alt+f2 right?13:45
ioriaoneQ, not sure13:46
ioriaoneQ,  it works in terminal13:46
BluesKajone store your alias in bash_aliases and it will start when you login13:46
EriC^^oneQ: possibly, if you put the script in a place it picks it up13:47
EriC^^maybe it uses the standard $PATH so try /usr/local/bin13:47
ioriaoneQ,  if you just want a 'quicker launche' then F2 you can try this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23798027/  not aliase do not work13:47
ioria*tha13:48
EriC^^oneQ: yes it works if you put it in /usr/local/bin13:52
oneQyes thanks guys13:52
NonatoGood afternoon I am with AD (AD) user authentication problem in the stations, the ubuntu in the station only let anything install with local admin users, could someone help me? I want ubuntu to allow AD admin users to also manage.13:54
EriC^^AD ?13:55
Nonatoactive diretory13:55
EriC^^isn't that a windows thing?13:55
tatertotsNonato: they will need to be in the sudoers file13:57
TBotNikAll: Having MySQL issue. Write up at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5654815#post5654815 . Need to fix, so can continue my development.  All help appreciated!13:57
NonatoI do not know, when I try to install it it opens a window, and only the local users appear in it, even though I have logged in with an AD admin user13:57
cipher6Anyone who can offer assistance w  vim? vimtutor? (I know it's not an ubuntu specific thing, i"ll be glad to move it to a private chat)13:57
ducassecipher6: why not try #vim?13:58
tatertotsNonato: do you have IT department for the MicrosoftAD side? maybe a help desk ?13:58
cipher6ducasse: I'm trying to learn vim, hence the vimtutor13:58
l0llip0pcipher6: good luck13:59
cipher6ducasse: Sorry i misunderstood, I've been to vim, their support is....lacking, for want of a nicer term13:59
ducassecipher6: yes, #vim might be a good place to get advice on that13:59
ducassecipher6: what do you need to know?14:00
Nonatotatertots, The Ad is on a Debian server, totally works, including, I have stations that have Windows, and when installing any program it asks for an admin user, I provide the administrator and it allows to install, already in the stations Ubuntu does not leave, just want to use the users Place.14:01
cipher6ducasse: vimtutor won't read my language file and display the vimtutor help info14:02
cfhowletta question for #networking perhaps, Nonato14:03
ducasseNonato: try #ubuntu-server14:03
cfhowlett+1 ^^14:03
NonatoI do not know if it is because sudoers did not map AD users14:04
ducassecfhowlett: sounds like a localization issue, something i know almost nothing about. are there any error messages?14:04
cfhowlettNonato, had the issue, not I ducasse14:05
ducassecipher6: sounds like a localization issue, something i know almost nothing about. are there any error messages?14:05
ducassecfhowlett: bad tab expand, sorry :)14:05
cfhowlettducasse, *ithappens14:06
Nonatoducasse?14:06
tatertotsNonato: did you fix your /etc/sudoers file?14:07
Nonatotatertots, Sorry, but what kind of fix is made on sudoers?14:10
cipher6ducasse: it was literally a blank vi screen with the ~'s down the left side,14:11
Nonatotatertots, I think some msg went unperceived14:11
cipher6apparently vi =/= vim =/= vimtutor and to run vi correctly on ubuntu i had to run sudo apt-get vim-gtk14:12
ducassecipher6: vim-gtk will give you a regular vim binary with more features than the normal one in addition to gvim, iirc14:14
ducassecipher6: all i can tell you is that vimtutor seems to work here, if it fails with your locale i don't know what to suggest.14:17
varazirI have mounted a NFS share to folder /mnt/nfsshare , my problem is that I can open upp that folder as long as it's mounted (when I'm not root)14:20
ducasse!permissions | varazir14:29
ubottuvarazir: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions14:29
varazirducasse: as the folder ha sthe correct permissions before I mount the NFS I don't understand14:30
ducassevarazir: user ids on the server does not match user ids on the client, probably.14:31
varazirit's a NAS14:31
varazirthe server14:31
varazirand I can't modify them14:31
ducassevarazir: then modify the permissions14:32
varazirducasse: on what, I don't change them after I have mounted14:32
varazirI can't14:32
ducassevarazir: modify them on the server, or modify the user ids on the client to match14:33
varazirducasse: can't as I said it's a NAS14:33
varazirwell could see if I can temper with the id's on the client14:33
tatertotsguess he has no administrative control over the NAS services14:34
varazirnot on that level14:34
ducassevarazir: then you must modify the user ids on the client to match the server14:35
varazirif I understand the NAS right the id for the NAS user is 114:36
tatertotsvarazir: how did you mount it?...did you mount it through the gui?14:36
varazirtatertots: added it to the fstab14:36
varazirtatertots: /mnt/music nfs rw,hard,intr,nolock 0 014:37
ducassevarazir: if this is nfs4 you might also be able to use idmapd14:39

DeeewayneHas anyone come across an issue after upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 where the apache2 service no longer starts due to undefined symbols in authz_svn and dav_svn ?15:05
DeeewayneIt looks like downgrading subversion to version 1.7.9 might be the fix15:06
gebruikerMonkeyDust: top!15:07
vklin#linux15:10
BluesKajDeeewayne, perhaps the transition to systemd wasn't as smooth as expected15:14
DeeewayneBluesKaj, mod_authz_svn.so has undefined symbol dav_svn_get_repos_path2 and mod_dav_svn.so has undefined symbol dav_do_find_liveprop15:16
DeeewayneI found this for the first undefined symbol: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=78690315:17
ubottuDebian bug 786903 in libapache2-mod-svn "/usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_authz_svn.so: undefined symbol: dav_svn_get_repos_path2" [Grave,Fixed]15:17
BluesKajDeeewayne, dunno much about that, but have you updated and upgraded since moving to 16.04?  i have to ask15:19
DeeewayneBluesKaj, yes I did15:20
wafflejockDeeewayne, you try reinstalling it?15:20
wafflejockDeeewayne, sudo apt-get install --reinstall libapache2-mod-svn15:20
BluesKajDeeewayne, then I suggest you ask in #httpd first15:22
wafflejockBluesKaj, yeah just upgraded a server from 14.04 to 16.04 have a few unit files to look at/fix it looks like, nothing catastrophic though15:22
BluesKajwafflejock, ok15:22

Southern_Gentlemwell if he can find the libdvdcss then maybe16:31
alnrwhat is a good file manager that has both a tree explorer type of interface and also a preview pane?16:32

tgm4883elichai2: I've an updated mesa20:29
ducasseRaulwynn: then just find a tiling wm you like, i use i3, and set up the tools you need.20:29
Guru0123or is there anyway we can unistall an application which was installed in windows through Ubuntu? buy sorting out by date? or is there any option that way?20:30
elichai2tgm4883, how can I debug this? maybe change it more hard core?20:30

J_B0N3I am running Xubuntu and trying to configure the trackpad settings.  Using the GUI I can modify the acceleration and sensitivity settings but they do not give me the 'acceleration ramp' I would like.  I know I can configure using the synaptics conf and cli but I don't know which variables to tune.  The man pages don't provide much detail. Any help would be appreciated.20:37

ioriafrib, if you have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf , you can try to backup it and restart20:39
tgm4883elichai2: do you have anything in /etc/security/limits.d/20:40
elichai2tgm4883, no, empty20:40
tgm4883elichai2: this is ubuntu desktop 16.10?20:40
fribioria, i dont.  but I do have /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/[lots of files]20:41

fribhow can I just reset to the 16.04 defaults?20:41
tgm4883elichai2: I'm not sure if it's worth the effort firing up a VM to test that it works. I'm pretty sure it's something with your system. Did you do some major changes?20:42
ioriaGuru0123, be patient20:42
fribioria, how do you catch grub menu again?20:42
Guru0123tgm4883: Yes looks like its  a windows issue but only thing is i just want to enter the safe mode in windows 1020:42
elichai2tgm4883, I do change stuff but I don't remember changing anything about file limits20:42

Guru0123ioria: ill try again20:43
ioriaGuru0123, sy, that was for Frickelpit20:43
tgm4883elichai2: I mean like PPAs, custom kernel, 3rd party packages?20:43
ioriaGuru0123, sy, that was for frib20:43
elichai2tgm4883, sure, I have lots of PPA and 3rd patry packages, but no custom kernels20:44
elichai2tgm4883, sorry20:45
elichai2<elichai2> tgm4883, sure, I have lots of PPA and 3rd patry packages, but no custom kernels20:46
fribioria, changing kernel doesn't seem to have done anything20:46
fribi believe the synaptics driver is loaded and xorg can see it (xinput lists it)20:46

ioriafrib, current is 5920:48

elichai2tgm4883, I haven't tried appending it into profile20:50

fribioria, then what do i do?20:52
stoner19alright ubuntu friends...I needed a new computer ASAP so the best option was to go snag one from one of the big box retailers. Obviously this comes preinstalled with another OS. Is it possible to just install Ubuntu to a separate partition, wipe that other OS and then merge the partitions so that Ubuntu utilizes the full HDD?20:52
tgm4883elichai2: I just copied and pasted the lines you used into mine, swaped our usernames and it still works for me. Not sure why it's not working for you. As for the bash_profile thing, it depends on what your end goal is. If you need to increase the open file limit because of something you're trying to run, then it's possible that fix won't work for you20:52
ioriafrib, you can try Recovery and Resume20:52
tgm4883stoner19: why wouldn't you just install over the top of the other OS20:52
fribioria, why this then? http://askubuntu.com/questions/290009/how-do-i-make-my-synclient-settings-stick20:53
elichai2tgm4883, it's a python script I run sometimes20:53
stoner19tgm4883 I need to get ubuntu rolling right now, get everything going. but if for some reason this PC isn't enough I would return it and get a different one20:53
ioriafrib, you said you removed those file20:53
ioria*s20:53
tgm4883stoner19: if the PC isn't enough? Sounds like you need to research more for your needs20:54
stoner19but the store I'm sure won't take it back if I give it back to them with windows missing from it20:54
tgm4883elichai2: out of curiosity, what does it do?20:54
elichai2open lots of threads and talk with a lot of nodes.20:54
elichai2I know that's not how you should do it but it's not my script20:54
fribioria, no there were a lot of files there. i only edited 1.  but i'm not sure if i am reverting back exactly to how it was before i made changes.20:54
elichai2and I can't really change it20:54
HiddenDjinnstoner19, how about this: try ubuntu with a usb boot...if everything appears to work(wifi, sound, etc), it is enough and you can, at your leisure, install it20:54
tgm4883elichai2: eh, sounds a bit wonky but it sounds like the bash_profile thing would work for you20:55
stoner19HiddenDjinn can I install everything and still run it from the USB? Does booting it from a USB utilize all hardware?20:55
tgm4883elichai2: really though it sounds like the script needs fixed20:55
fribioria, brb20:55
HiddenDjinnstoner19, if you have a large enough live file, you can install stuff onto the live os and run from usb20:56
elichai2tgm4883, I know, but that's not up to me really20:56
HiddenDjinnstoner19, and running from usb will utilize all hardware it can see20:56
tgm4883well, not the SSD/Hard Drive obviously20:56
HiddenDjinntgm4883, and for obvious reasons20:57
stoner19hmmm, actually it probably isn't a big deal to remove windows now that I think about it. HDD is 1TB, which I'll never come close to filling up for my needs20:57
stoner19maybe I just leave the windows partition and allocate 500GB to ubuntu and call it good.20:57
HiddenDjinnstoner19, and if you want to sell or give the computer, with windows, to another person, deleting ubuntu and restoring it to a full windows system is not a big deal20:58
Guru0123ioria: no luck on f8 and Shift f820:58
HiddenDjinnstoner19, assuming you don't delete the recovery partition20:59
soeeis there any ppa with xorg 1.19 for Xenial ?20:59
stoner19yeah, that may just be the best option. Thanks for listening HiddenDjinn ;)20:59
ioriaGuru0123, iirc, there is a rescue console  in the win disk20:59
HiddenDjinnstoner19, no problem20:59
Guru0123ioria: sorry?21:00
ioriaGuru0123, you need to remove an app from windows, right ?21:00
Guru0123ioria: Yes21:01
ioriaGuru0123, so try the rescue disk21:01
Guru0123ioria: from?21:01
winpenhello guys, did someone already install windows 7 over ubuntu ?21:01
Guru0123ioria:  i dont have any Rescue disk21:02
HiddenDjinnioria, most machines don't come with rescue disks nowadays21:02
ioriaGuru0123, you said you had a rescue usb...21:02
Guru0123ioria: i have tried that , its of no use21:02
Guru0123ioria:  i mean i created a windows bootable disk21:02
Guru0123ioria: which shows repair your computer , when i recover , it says your drive is locked21:03
ioriaGuru0123, locked ?21:03
Guru0123Yeah it gave me something like that21:04
ioriaGuru0123,  i'd keep asking in #windows21:04
Guru0123ioria: probably because there is login credentials for windows 1021:04
ioriaGuru0123, no idea sorry21:04
Guru0123ioria: i am doing the same , no response mate21:04
Guru0123ioria: feeling so ignored21:05
ioriaGuru0123, come on...21:05

welcesrAnyone have advice how to repartition without screwing up? I have Elementary in front of Xubuntu but the Xubuntu isnt a bootable partition...like this http://i.imgur.com/BC2dnSh.png21:17
welcesrI want to remove Elementary and get that spce back for Xubuntu21:17
hwpplayer1is here a place that i can argue "gamifying or not gamifying the community " project ?21:20
hwpplayer1there *21:20
ducassewelcesr: linux does not care whether partitions are bootable or not21:21
welcesrducasse: so can I just used Disks to remove the dev/sda1 elementary bootable one and enlarge the sda2 Xubuntu one after? Grub will fix itself and I will be able to boot into Xubuntu?21:22
Bashing-omwelcesr: Of the 2 partitions - sda1 and sda6 - do you know which partition is the xubuntu ?21:22
OerHekswelcesr, use a live iso to remove elementary, the disk should be unmounted to do so21:22
welcesrBashing-om: its the 123gb one with Xubuntu...I thought it was sda2 let me look21:23
welcesrI guess I am not sure...I thought sda2 was xubuntu and sda6 and the swap were under that21:24
welcesrI know that the sda1 127 is elementary21:24
welcesrobviously I dont understand partitioning well21:24
welcesrsince sda 2 is 123gb and sda6 and swap add up to that I thought those were subdivisions of sda2?21:25
welcesrdo I need to make sda2 extended bigger first and then make sda6 bigger?21:27
Bashing-omwelcesr: Gow this works is that sda2 is an "extended" partition . extended being a container to hold "logical" partitions . here your logical partitions are sda5 (swap) and sda6 .21:28
ducassewelcesr: you first increase sda2, yes, then the partitions 'inside'21:28
welcesrbashing I remembered some of that...since it can only have so many partitions you make extended and then it can have unlimited inside it right?21:28
welcesras a workaround to having multiple bootable ones21:28
Bashing-omwelcesr: Well .. if ya want to call 128 logical partitions unlimited .. yeah :)21:29
welcesrsorry I mean there is a limit on logical ones right? so the extended allows more21:29
welcesrok21:29
welcesrso how do I make sda 2 larger? just expand it over sda1?21:29
welcesrcant even find options for that21:30
ducassewelcesr: delete sda1, then expand21:31
V7Hey21:31
welcesrok and this must be done in live usb right? cant do it when using sda6 Xubuntu?21:31
V7Could you help me with Desktop Effects in KDE Neon 5.8 ?21:31
ducassewelcesr: live usb, yes21:31
V7THey're not working .. :(21:31
V7Also ...21:31
V7This one http://i.imgur.com/WYz5ZuX.png21:31
ducasseV7: neon is unsupported here, try their channel21:32
V7Which one ?21:32
Bashing-omwelcesr: Were me I would want my primary system on sda1 . The quick way here is just to RE-install xubuntu with the install option " erase disk and install ubuntu ' . Giving you a standard install . Npw if ya want th larning experience, that is something else .21:32
V7Also ... neon is based on Ubuntu21:32
welcesrducasse: so I will end up with only one extended parition...sda2 with sda6 and swap inside it right? is that ok? do I need to select "bootable" or anything for sda2?21:32

welcesrBashing-om: I was trying to avoid a resintall and fiddling with modifying everything again21:32
V7Thank you ...21:33
V7I hope they will answer me21:33
welcesrthings are failry stable now and I didnt want to rock the boat and spend a day fixing everything...just need more space21:33
Bashing-omwelcesr: Sure as ducasse says, you can delete sda1, expand sda2 into that now unallocated space, and then expand sda6 . 'buntu happily boots from within a logical partition . Pay attention to /etc/fstab what UUIDs get changed .21:36
Bashing-omwelcesr: 121 Gigs is a lot of space ! .. What is the reason that more is required ? A thumb mark for ubuntu is 30 Gigs .21:38
welcesrmedia21:38
welcesrand I never use Elementary21:38
Bashing-omwelcesr: Yeah .. that do say it all .. takes a lot of space .21:38
Bashing-omwelcesr: Be aware in moving the partition left into what was sda1 one is also moving the paprtition table . Bad things can happen ! Be prepared with backups in the event of catastarophy .21:40
Bashing-ompartition*21:41
welcesrall backed up21:41
welcesrdata anyway....not configs etc as I dont know what to save and what will take problems with me if I change...so i just manually backup deta and media21:42
Bashing-omwelcesr: K; be aware that in GParted, will need to "swap off " . to mess with the extended partition .21:43
welcesrthanks21:43
V7#kde-eon #kde-neon doesn't help me ...21:43
V7They said: they don't know (c)21:43
ducasseV7: well, neither do we, as you're not using ubuntu... 'based on' does not mean 'the same as'.21:44

wafflejockgreuh, yeah don't think it is actually supposed to touch the brightness just the warmth -"Redshift has a brightness adjustment setting, but it does not work the way most people might expect. In fact it is a fake brightness adjustment obtained by manipulating the gamma ramps, which means that it does not reduce the backlight of the screen. Preferable only use it if your normal backlight adjustment is too coarse-grained."22:32

bear_what23:03
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_, 16.10 to 17.04 when releaed is ok23:03
SebthreeBQM10HDto upgrade23:03
SebthreeBQM10HDtrying to upgrade from 16.04 to 17.04 on the other hand,  is not supported,  your meant to go through 16.10 first23:03
bear_SebthreeBQM10HD, why did you go on about downgrating then...?23:04
SebthreeBQM10HDand trying to go back some version, is not supported23:04
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_, 3 things in 1.  the 3rd you werebn't really asking about, but thought would be good to put in as well, since quite related23:04
jnoob22SebthreeBQM10HD, well it *showed* as upgrade when you run cat /etc/issue23:04
jnoob22but obviously not all packages were done.23:04
jnoob22running it now (dist-upgrade)23:05
SebthreeBQM10HDjnoob22, could you pastebin the terminal out put ?23:05
PasNoxEvening, I’m having issue crossbuilding Qt for windows via MinGW32 on ubuntu 16.04, this cause internal compiler error (cc1plus), this issue is reproducible with both Ubuntu 15.10 and 16.04 ? This kind of invocation make it crash: https://paste.kde.org/pfp0ldhex/wol88s - Any idea ?23:05

bear_SebthreeBQM10HD, I know I can't go back23:05
jnoob22SebthreeBQM10HD, too late now ;-)23:05
bear_well, I can and I can't.23:05
bear_It depends on the mechanism I use23:05
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_, well there is a way to do the unsupported things I expect, but yes not a good idea23:05
SebthreeBQM10HDjnoob22, ok so it's upgrading the new packages, or already done ?23:06
bear_SebthreeBQM10HD, snapshots23:06
SebthreeBQM10HDjnoob22, just make suer it's all up to date and should be fine23:06
elkybear_: it does have a channel. it's #ubuntu-budgie. it doesn't have many people in it though, their dev team is on a gitter (no i don't know the details sorry)23:06
bear_What is gitter?!23:06
bear_; - ;23:07
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_, I meant otherwise, but sure,  if had btfs, which is also not default file system.  would possibly have snapshots23:07
bear_SebthreeBQM10HD, iirc XFS has it as well23:07
bear_I can also use ZFS23:07
jnoob22SebthreeBQM10HD, thanks (y)23:08
bear_Only a fool would use BTRFS in it's current state23:08
bray90820Does ubuntu sport the AWUS036NH wifi adapter?23:08
kk4ewtand lvm can do snapshoots23:08
bear_bray90820, what's the chipset?23:08
bear_kk4ewt, ye :)23:08
bear_I always do a encrypted LVM setup23:08
kk4ewtbray90820,  what chipsets does that have23:08
bray90820kk4ewt: No idea but the manufacture is alfa23:08
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_, well that's all debatlabe how ready it is or not to be a default file system.  one mobile LInux based os at least has done it, and I think, one dekstop Linux disro so far,  but this is off topic now23:08
BlueSharkPlugging in your laptop to power 24x7 is bad for the battery?23:09
bear_SebthreeBQM10HD, It's not debatable.23:09
bear_BTRFS's own developers declare it not production ready because it has a very bad habit of loosing data without warning23:09
SebthreeBQM10HDjnoob22, ok everything upgraded now then ?23:10
jnoob22SebthreeBQM10HD, still going23:10
SebthreeBQM10HDok23:10
armijaz23:11
bear__I'm back23:11
bear__my connection dropped after I said BTRFS isn't debatable stability wise23:11
bear__now I'm wondering, is there a nice tool to make snapshots of my disk in the event I need to roll back?23:12
bear__by nice tool I mean with a GUI.23:13
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_ no don't th8ink so or s such23:13
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_ its more a file system thing i think23:13
Peppernrinoanybody know the IP of ppa.launchpad.net?23:13
Peppernrinofor adding to hosts23:13
bear__SebthreeBQM10HD, remember if you don't know the answer never answer the question23:13
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_ roll back eh.  even if I had snap shots I don't think I would need to use usally at all really, especially with seperate /home23:14
=== love3 is now known as Zomboy121
SebthreeBQM10HDbear_ a  bit like with Virualbox the snapshot option is thre, but never had much of a reason to use that if at all really so far23:14
bear__SebthreeBQM10HD, I have reason to use it23:15
bear__I've trashed my setup a few times now23:15
bear__I don't think I've ever backed up / maintained a linux box I've worked on23:17
bear__I've also never used it as my daily driver due to shit hardware compatibility with my desktop23:18
welcesrTrying to get mp3 plugin for soundconverter but the appplication's site instrucitons dont work and the askubuntu solutution here dont work as it says that package is no longer available sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly23:26
welcesrPackage gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source23:26
welcesrfrom this link https://askubuntu.com/questions/740736/how-to-add-mp3-encoder-in-sound-converter-ubuntu-15-10-14-10-or-14-0423:26
Dako300welcesr: try apt-cache search gstreamer and see if there is a newer version available23:26
Dako300Also, you may need to enable some extra repositories (uncomment deb lines in /etc/apt/sources.list)23:27
matsascwelcesr: what version of ubuntu are you running?23:27
welcesrxubuntu 16.0423:27
welcesrcan I pastebin you the output? I have no idea which would be the correct one as a few have similar strings23:28
Dako300sure, just post a link here23:28
matsasctry gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly it's in the repos23:28
welcesrDako300: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23801218/23:28
Dako300welcesr: listen to matsasc23:29
welcesrgiving that a shot thanks23:29
welcesrmy apt update is stuck here 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.91.23)]   is that bad?23:31
welcesrim a monkey typing things in without the smarts to know whay all the time23:31
matsascjust give it time, if it times out try and use another mirror23:32
welcesrok thanks23:32
welcesrcool that plugin worked...how did you know which one in that output to use? There were several variations of plugiins23:33
ice9i have postfix and rsyslog, I'm getting "failed  to write to log file" in both syslog and mail.log, all mails are queued and not deliverd.23:33
matsascwelcesr: the name of the package is the same except the version number23:34
matsascice9: give the user that runs postfix permissions to write to the logfiles23:35
welcesrso is there a way to make sure apt pulls the most current automatically?23:35
welcesrof just doing the apt-cache search is the best way?23:36
Dako300Typically, there are packages that redirect to the latest version, not sure if that's a thing with gstreamer23:36
inrahello everyone, I was looking for the commands first to get a list of all installed packages in my current system, and then to install all of them at once on another system. online posts about this seem to offer different answers, so I'd like to make sure here which one works smooth23:39
inraand, if possible, packages that are installed by me only23:40
bray90820If I were to run this command "sudo ddrescue -D --force '/media/data/ubuntu-mate-16.04-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img' /dev/sdd" would it choose sdd1?23:41
turistahow can I see the links in the repository?¿23:44
metaresolveI need help. I'm following the postgresql tutorial and it's telling me about a file called "advanced.sql" that's in a folder somewhere named "tutorial." I've been trying the find command to find the file but I don't know what directory it's in at all. Can someone help?23:45
Dako300find | grep advanced23:46
tomreyninra: dpkg --get-selections > ~/Package.list; sudo dpkg --set-selections < ~/Package.list; dselect23:46
ikoniametaresolve: by any chance is this so you cn create virtual users in postfix ?23:47
tomreyn...the first command you run on the system which already has your desired softwar einstallted. the remaining two (separated by ';') you run on the system where you'll install your software on.23:47
tomreyninra: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9135/how-to-backup-settings-and-list-of-installed-packages for details. you might also want to store the debconf questions you had responded to when you installed those packages instially: debconf-get-selections >> file; debconf-set-selections << file23:49
tomreyn*initially23:49
HetachiHi guys, I have an issue with cronjob, I am not pro at linux ubuntu, so I really hope someone can help me out, I can't figure out how to make sure cronjobs are running23:53
PasNoxAccording to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mingw-w64, there is a version 4.0.4-2 available for xenial, but i only have old 4.0.2-4, and i’m up to ate. how i cna get this update ?23:54
beneterHetachi: What's your issue?+23:55
=== KindOne_ is now known as KindOne
Hetachibeneter, the issue is, I have no idea wether the crontab is failing or it does not run the command at all23:56
beneterHetachi: try it: * * * * * touch ~/test23:57
beneterand wait one minute23:58
Hetachibeneter, should I remove my own line ?23:58
Hetachior commenting it out would do the trick too23:58
metaresolveikonia, I don't understand?23:58
beneterHetachi: Commenting should be enough23:58
beneterHetachi: you know, you should always use "crontab -e" right?23:59
ikoniametaresolve: that file is not a standard postfix file23:59
ikoniametaresolve: so I'm assuming the tutorial is trying to do something like setup virtual users into a rdbms or something like that23:59
metaresolveno, i think it's just a bunch of tables23:59
Hetachibeneter, yes that is the only way I edit it23:59
