| xangua | I just restarted an OEM install and the screen is blank, any help? Don't really know what's happening | 00:01 |
| Hetachi | beneter, does it matter if I do it with root or user account? (I been using my user account for cron editing) | 00:01 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Not really. Every user has his own crontab. So your file will be crated at /home/<<username>>/test | 00:02 |
| Hetachi | Yes it did create it | 00:03 |
| beneter | Hetachi: If you want root to run your command, you need to run "sudo crontab -e" | 00:03 |
| === eukreign is now known as Guest20796 | ||
| beneter | Hetachi: So we made sure, that cron is correctly working | 00:03 |
| Hetachi | beneter, yes, so there is something wrong with my command... | 00:04 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Correct ;-) | 00:04 |
| wiggmpk | Any suggestion for remapping a bluetooth mouse keys? I used to compiz plugin. Running Gnome Ubuntu | 00:04 |
| Hetachi | beneter, if I pasted it to you would you mind taking a look at it? | 00:04 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Feel free | 00:04 |
| Guest20796 | I'm trying to use gsettings to change the icon-size in unity but it doesn't seem to work (actually it creates a duplicate entry in dconf) thereafter gsettings get returns the value set by gsettings and dconf returns the value set by dconf cli and via regular Ubuntu Settings UI. | 00:06 |
| Hetachi | beneter, http://pastebin.com/1tMyc5PH | 00:06 |
| matsasc | Hetachi: you can also check /var/mail/<username> you will probably find the errors in there since cron sends a mail to the user | 00:06 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I think the path is not correct | 00:06 |
| Bashing-om | xangua: Tried booting from grub with ' nomodeset ' ? | 00:07 |
| beneter | Hetachi: you seem to miss the redirection of your output | 00:07 |
| xangua | So apparently I had to switch to another terminal Bashing-om , ctrl+alt+1 | 00:08 |
| beneter | you should remove everything behind "monitor" and add " > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" | 00:08 |
| Hetachi | beneter, what do you mean? | 00:08 |
| Bashing-om | xangua: All good now .. or no GUI ? | 00:08 |
| xangua | Bashing-om: don't know, is this normal in an OEM install? Xubuntu by the way, new user is already created | 00:09 |
| beneter | Hetachi: currently you are redirecting the output to /dev/null (at least I think so) | 00:09 |
| beneter | Hetachi: you should remove everything behind "monitor" and add " > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" | 00:09 |
| Hetachi | beneter, oh okay I will try that | 00:10 |
| Guest20796 | in dconf-editor you can see duplicate entries, i didn't know that was even possible: https://snag.gy/8YmbQ1.jpg | 00:10 |
| Hetachi | beneter, the issue is that the monitor script is not launched and the output is just to see what happens when it tries to launch it | 00:10 |
| Bashing-om | xangua: I have not installed as "OEM" so no direct experience . but I would not think so . For a 1st time user from that install I would anticipate booting to GUI . | 00:11 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Please try this: "3 * * * * /home/hetachi/gameserver monitor > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" | 00:12 |
| xangua | Bashing-om: it booted to GUI, it just was displaying in f1, not f7 | 00:12 |
| xangua | First time OEM install | 00:12 |
| xangua | Weird | 00:12 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I set the time to * * * * * so we dont have to wait 3 minutes | 00:12 |
| beneter | Hetachi: I'm pretty sure you are currently redirecting to /dev/null. And thats why you have no output | 00:13 |
| cfoch | hi | 00:13 |
| cfoch | How do I install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in Ubuntu 16.04.1 ? | 00:13 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I really hope that that is all there is to it :) | 00:14 |
| === Guest74264 is now known as mikeymop | ||
| Bashing-om | xangua: Yeah, kinda different . I would expect the GUI on TTY7. mind rebooting and looking at the kernel boot line in grub ? | 00:15 |
| Hetachi | beneter, there we go output is working | 00:15 |
| beneter | Hetachi: ">" Redirects the output from StdOut to a File. The "2>&1" is for redirecting the Error Channel to the same (normal) channel. This way, all output is written to the log and you won't be bothered by mails containing the errors. | 00:15 |
| Hetachi | beneter, /bin/sh: 1: /home/hetachi/gameserver: not found | 00:16 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Well... Please do ls- a /home/hetachi/gameserver and give me the output | 00:16 |
| beneter | Hetachi: "ls- a /home/hetachi/gameserver" | 00:17 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I mistyped the name sorry it should have been gameservers | 00:17 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Thought so. Did you set the execute flag? (chmod +x) | 00:18 |
| Hetachi | beneter, yes | 00:18 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Then it should work now ;-) | 00:18 |
| Hetachi | beneter, could it have any affect if the user account does not have sudo rights ? | 00:18 |
| matsasc | try running the command with the account outside of cron and check | 00:19 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Depends on what your application needs to do. | 00:19 |
| Hetachi | beneter, not it is working perfectly, this is so weird | 00:19 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I did not change too much in the commands | 00:19 |
| LordNelthon | I have the following script that saves and restores the iptables rules when networkmanager changes an interface status (http://pastebin.com/gPRAMHrL). why it creates always two log lines in syslog (http://pastebin.com/36CE6h9z)? | 00:19 |
| Hetachi | beneter, it just starts an application which does not require sudo or root access | 00:20 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Then everything should be alright | 00:21 |
| beneter | Hetachi: What is bothering you? | 00:21 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Do you know what "> /dev/null" does? | 00:21 |
| Hetachi | beneter, As I understood it sends all output to dev/null right? | 00:21 |
| Hetachi | beneter, crontabs have always been quite confusing to me... | 00:22 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Right! And do you know what "/dev/null" is? | 00:22 |
| Hetachi | beneter, no, I have no clue what it is | 00:22 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Aha :-D | 00:22 |
| beneter | Hetachi: /dev/null is a "fake-device" which acts like a bin. | 00:23 |
| beneter | Hetachi: So you were throwing away all your output to void | 00:23 |
| Hetachi | beneter, oh, well that explains why I wasn't able to find it | 00:24 |
| lex__ | i'm the previous Guest20796 in case someone has any suggestions | 00:24 |
| Hetachi | beneter, I was looking all over internet for where cronjobs store the outputs | 00:24 |
| Hetachi | beneter, literally spent the past 2-3h just looking how to check if cronjobs are even running, and if so where do I find info | 00:24 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Well... the learning curve for unix is quite steep. | 00:26 |
| Hetachi | beneter, my problem is when I haven't actually tried studying it, as I should, always grabbing what I need and never fully understanding it | 00:26 |
| beneter | Hetachi: Learning by doing... same for me. ;-) | 00:27 |

| GrayGhost13 | Hi Everyone! Just a quick question.. Is there an open source solution that helps in the setup, configuration and management of a mail server? | 00:34 |
| mukluks | GrayGhost13: you could say that every linux distribution performs that role | 00:40 |
| === g2[ATL] is now known as g2 | ||
| mukluks | GrayGhost13: i'm guessing you're looking for a GUI? | 00:40 |
| GrayGhost13 | mukluks: :) that's true.. I was just now reading about iRedMail .. are their others similar to that? | 00:40 |
| Deeewayne | Anyone have 16.04 with Apache and mod_dav_svn/mod_authz_svn working? I can't get them to work together on a server that was working w/ 14.04 due to undefined symbols in the subversion apache modules | 00:41 |
| Deeewayne | undefined symbols: dav_do_find_liveprop and dav_svn_get_repos_path2 | 00:42 |
| wiggmpk | Is there no GUI to remap a multi-button bluetooth mouse? | 00:42 |
| Deeewayne | I read somewhere that an apache package was built w/ subversion 1.7.9 and downgrading to subversion 1.7.9 fixes it, but can't seem to downgrade to that version using apt | 00:42 |
| Bashing-om | Deeewayne: Config files differ in systemd from what upstart in 14.04 was : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers might help . | 00:43 |
| mukluks | GrayGhost13: i would recommend WebMin | 00:44 |
| GrayGhost13 | mukluks: why? Is it better than iredmail? | 00:44 |
| mukluks | GrayGhost13: i don't know iredmail, but i do know webmin | 00:45 |
| GrayGhost13 | mukluks: I'm looking to do a mail server, with no domains being serviced on the server | 00:45 |
| GrayGhost13 | mukluks: i'm looking at it now, it's interesting | 00:46 |
| mukluks | GrayGhost13: that's fine, but if you use webmin you will have some flexibility in case your requirements change in the futute | 00:46 |
| Deeewayne | Bashing-om, thanks, but after briefly looking at that I'm not sure its applicable to this particular issue. | 00:46 |
| GrayGhost13 | mukluks: that's interestin.. that might be useful on something else.. | 00:47 |
| Kali_Yuga | hello | 00:48 |
| xangua | 6:49 PM <xangua> Another little issue, the images icon won't show in thunar places sidebar | 00:50 |

| mukluks | Kali_Yuga: helloooo | 00:55 |
| mukluks | is it me you're looking for? | 00:55 |
| Deeewayne | I guess I found my apache/subversion problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/1639809 | 00:57 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1639809 in subversion (Ubuntu) "Problem with Apache & Subversion versions in Trusty" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:58 |
| Bashing-om | Deeewayne: :( .... " Apparently Apache version was too recent, and not compatible with the 1.8.8 " ; RE-install of apache ? | 01:06 |
| Deeewayne | Bashing-om, yeah, looks like the fix | 01:10 |
| Deeewayne | Not sure how I should proceed. I've been migrating to Git, but would have preferred to leave my subversion repos in subversion | 01:11 |
| Deeewayne | I'm not that great w/ apt but it looks like the version of apache that was referenced in that work around may not be available in 16.04 | 01:12 |
| Deeewayne | so, for me, it might be reasonable to try to wait for that issue to be fixed and if needed, migrate stuff to git | 01:13 |
| wiggmpk | I do not see my bluetooth mouse listed in xorg.conf, If I add a configuration will it cause conflicts? should I be looking somewhere else for the config? | 01:15 |
| Bashing-om | Deeewayne: Not me, no excperience here , but surely others here have had this issue and can advise on their solution . | 01:15 |
| Deeewayne | Bashing-om, yeah, my fault for not properly investigating before release upgrade. I made the assumption that 16.04+apache+subversion would be safe by now | 01:17 |
| Deeewayne | (doh) | 01:17 |
| tatertots | wiggmpk: did you already "pair" bluetooth devices? yes or no | 01:18 |
| wiggmpk | tatertots: yes, it is a bluetooth mouse, with a lot of buttons =P | 01:18 |
| wiggmpk | tatertots: basic functionality works, mouse click 1/2, scrolling and wheel press, back/forward buttons | 01:18 |
| Hulio | Hi guys | 01:24 |
| energizer | I'm configuring cron for doing regular updates to a local database used by a team. Which crontab should I use? | 01:28 |
| mukluks | energizer: depends | 01:29 |
| energizer | mukluks: how so | 01:29 |
| mukluks | energizer: you could use the crontab for the user created to run the database, if a user has been created | 01:29 |
| mukluks | eg. mysql user | 01:29 |
| mukluks | this way if you ever remove mysql from the system the crontab will probably be removed at the same time | 01:30 |
| tatertots | wiggmpk: ok so basic mouse functionality works fine? | 01:30 |
| wiggmpk | tatertots: yes | 01:30 |
| mukluks | energizer: but if the crontab entries are sensitive and you don't want them to be accessible to a hacker if they hijack your database process then a different user's crontab may be better | 01:31 |
| Andrew_ | Hello, I have recently upgraded from 14.04 -> 16.04, and now my unity does not work (no ui, or bars, and ctrl-alt-T will not open a terminal.) when I try to open TTY I only see the top half of the first line. I was able to login recovery mode, and delete the compiz .config, but that did not fix. I was unable to apt-get upgrade unity or dconf from recovery mode. I can open a file browser, due to a desktop folder, is there a way to get | 01:31 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: did you check dmesg or system messages for any errors or warnings? | 01:34 |
| energizer | mukluks: sudo su mongodb fails but mongodb is listed in /etc/passwd | 01:36 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0: I checked .xsessionerrors and I saw: "upstart: unity7 pre-start process terminated with status 127" | 01:36 |
| mukluks | energizer: the shell is probably set to /bin/false, which is good | 01:36 |
| mukluks | you don't need that user to have shell to edit their crontab | 01:37 |
| energizer | mukluks: is that the right user to use | 01:38 |
| energizer | or perhaps make a new one with the project name | 01:38 |
| mukluks | energizer: well as i said, it depends... just please don't put the database password in the crontab | 01:40 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: Sounds like maybe an issue with the updater/permission issues when you updated. You could try running `unity --replace` from your recovery console or possibly `dpkg-reconfigure gdm` to reset your default LM. Might have to do some further poking on google or askubuntu.com | 01:40 |
| xangua | Andrew_: did you try guest user? Does unity work there? | 01:41 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: i have tried those commands from recovery mode, but it is unable to connect to the network | 01:42 |
| Andrew_ | xangua: unity is also broken in guest mode | 01:43 |
| mandeep | hi all. in unity when i open any application, the application window appears at the bottom right of my screen. how do i have these windows open in the middle of the screen? | 01:43 |
| Andrew_ | I think that if I could get a terminal open in non recovery mode, I could fix this | 01:44 |
| wiggmpk | tatertots: I have a horizontal scroll wheel that I would like to enable. xinput reports it as button 13/14, how do I go about that? | 01:46 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: During startup you are presented with the console after the prestart fails? Are you able to use any of the shortcut keys to get to a TTY? You said you only see the top half of the first line but can you read the contents? | 01:47 |
| Bashing-om | Andrew_: At the login screen - ctl+alt+F1 should give you a console interface where you can log into the system , | 01:47 |
| mandeep | nvm i just configured it in compiz config | 01:50 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: the only thing I can read is 'Loading 3.16.0-77-generic', I have tried logging in blind, and then clearing, but as far as I can tell nothing is happening | 01:50 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: Like Bashing-om said, Ctrl+Alt+F1 will get you to your LM if that fails, you'll need to find out why, eventually leading you to get to a working console that should init networking | 01:50 |
| Andrew_ | Bashing-om: I just tried doing ctrl-alt-f1 from login screen, and I still only see half of the top line | 01:51 |
| n4n0` | I had a similar problem but it was related to proprietary video/graphics drivers. I don't see that being true in this scenario. | 01:52 |
| === cuddle is now known as pjamma | ||
| Andrew_ | But X is able to run applications, as evidenced by the file browser, and picture viewer working. could there be a way of opening up a terminal in X from the file browser? | 01:54 |
| tatertots | wiggmpk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_buttons | 01:55 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: maybe after you press Ctrl+Alt+F1 try `/etc/init.d/lightdm restart` ... as for opening a new terminal in file browser if you right click anywhere that isn't a file/folder you can select "Open in Terminal" | 01:56 |
| bear_ | So | 01:57 |
| bear_ | how do you guys sync your gmail to your desktop? | 01:57 |
| === pjamma is now known as cuddle | ||
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: let me restart and try that | 01:57 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: That terminal shortcut is confirmed for 16.04 > | 01:57 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: uh, i have it set up on alpine | 01:57 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: kk. | 01:58 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: it doesn't sync as much as it reads directly from the server | 01:58 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: I remember looking for something like that, but not finding it | 01:58 |
| wiggmpk | tatertots: I'll take a look at it, thanks | 01:58 |
| test_name0000 | . | 02:00 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: I found it while navigating to any folder and right-clicking in the blank white area. Also if you can attempt to right-click a file and "Open With..." you might be able to start a new terminal from that window. | 02:00 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: haha got it. so it was treating everything that was not a file in the browser as the desktop when I right clicked, but when I right clicked in a folder I was able to open that folder in thunar, which gave me the ability to open to terminal | 02:01 |
| bear_ | HiddenDjinn, that's syncing. | 02:01 |
| Andrew_ | n4n0`: much thanks | 02:01 |
| n4n0` | Andrew_: no problem, what a strange issue. Take care, lol. | 02:01 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: uh, no...syncing is something slightly different | 02:02 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: alpine doesn't save it to the local machine | 02:03 |
| bear_ | HiddenDjinn, Syncing doesn't mean you have to save it to non volatile storage | 02:03 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: that's kinda idiosyncratic...to syncronize, one must have data in two locations to bring into sync...the data is never anywhere other than the imap server | 02:06 |
| bear_ | HiddenDjinn, then you never read it. | 02:06 |
| bear_ | once you read it it's in memory on your machine and now in sync with your imap server | 02:07 |
| HiddenDjinn | bear_: i don't think it means what you think it means | 02:07 |
| bear_ | it does | 02:07 |

| ubottu | Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic | 03:22 |
| Phanes | sudo is not a network-aware tool | 03:22 |
| mikeymop | i'm on xenial, i'm following this guide https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-laravel-on-ubuntu-for-apache/ | 03:22 |
| Phanes | and ive reproduced this on several systems | 03:22 |
| mikeymop | i wrote a .conf file for apache to use an apache virtualhost, however when i tried to use this conf file apahce failed to start | 03:23 |
| mikeymop | i tried checking journalctl to no avail | 03:23 |
| mikeymop | so i reverted to 000-default.conf for now, i'm trying to understand why laravel's conf file didn't work | 03:23 |
| tatertots | Phanes: did you document the steps to reproduce the issue anywhere, like launchpad or maybe even a personal blog or facebook even? | 03:23 |
| Phanes | not yet | 03:24 |
| cfhowlett | mikeymop, that tutorial is written for a dead verison of ubuntu. contact the packager for support and updated information | 03:24 |
| Phanes | it could be expected behaviour if i can find someone with a cluestick | 03:24 |
| mikeymop | cfhowlett: thanks, i was hopoing it would be distro independent | 03:24 |
| tatertots | Phanes: could be expected behavior? it is expected, else why would you not have shared your verbatim command syntax that produces the very results you're complaining about | 03:26 |
| tatertots | because deep inside somewhere you already know it's human error | 03:26 |
| matsasc | Phanes: fake advice? I just gave you a solution for not getting the message again | 03:26 |
| Phanes | tatertots, as i said please dont give fake advice, it was copying a file. | 03:26 |
| Phanes | tatertots, people read and learn from what is discussed here | 03:26 |
| tatertots | Phanes: fake advice? | 03:27 |
| Phanes | tatertots, http://paste.silogroup.org/piyatoxoro.scala | 03:27 |
| Phanes | there you go | 03:27 |
| Phanes | now pretend to be an expert with that | 03:27 |
| tatertots | Phanes: please don't cry wolf or raise false alarms...right back at you | 03:27 |
| cfhowlett | for best results, dial down the attitude | 03:29 |
| tgm4883 | let's all stay civil please | 03:29 |
| tatertots | Phanes: a error message and verbatim command would suffice, | 03:29 |
| Phanes | i did find this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/+bug/32906 | 03:30 |
| Phanes | it says sudoers can perform on several hosts so needs hostname resolution for context, im unaware of such features and am still looking into it | 03:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 32906 in sudo (Ubuntu Hardy) "sudo fails if it cannot resolve the local hostname and no MTA is installed" [High,Fix released] | 03:30 |
| Phanes | tatertots, provided in paste | 03:30 |
| Phanes | now thats interesting, sudo provides remote host features indeed: https://www.sudo.ws/man/1.8.19/sudo.man.html | 03:31 |
| Phanes | ok that's expected behaviour as suspected | 03:32 |
| tatertots | of course | 03:32 |
| zeiad | can anyone help me with the problem of weak wifi signal ?? | 03:32 |
| mukluks | zeiad: it will most likely be a physical problem we can't help with | 03:33 |
| Phanes | zeiad, booster relay, increase power to ant., or check sensitivity options in firmware, or move closer. that's about it besides dish shaping. | 03:33 |
| Phanes | there are some cool things you can do with bidirectional ant. | 03:33 |
| zeiad | i get weak signal from my room and a full signal on mobile | 03:33 |
| zeiad | i changed the wifi card nut nothing happened | 03:34 |
| matsasc | that doesn't need to mean anything | 03:34 |
| zeiad | i'm new to ubuntu, so any idea how to work this problem out ? | 03:35 |
| matsasc | zeiad: how many networks are arround you? what channel are you on? what channels are the other networks broadcasting on? | 03:35 |
| Phanes | zeiad, im on a give-the-answer-only-once diet | 03:35 |
| zeiad | i don't know any of this informations | 03:36 |
| zeiad | phanes: if you don't want to help it's ok thank you anyway | 03:37 |
| zeiad | i have 4 or 5 connections within the building | 03:38 |
| WindowsMike | Does Ubuntu use less CPU, and RAM than windows 8.1 compared to like system required things? | 03:38 |
| cfhowlett | WindowsMike it depends | 03:38 |
| Phanes | WindowsMike, depends on what youre doing on it but unless you're really filling it up with animations then categorially yes | 03:39 |
| mukluks | uses about tree fiddy less ram and cpu | 03:39 |
| Phanes | *castegorically | 03:39 |
| Phanes | i give up | 03:39 |
| WindowsMike | Phanes and cfhowlett I mean like freshly installed no apps open. | 03:40 |
| Phanes | WindowsMike, yes | 03:40 |
| WindowsMike | Does Ubuntu is better on CPU compared to windows in that? | 03:40 |
| Phanes | WindowsMike, significantly less | 03:40 |
| WindowsMike | *So | 03:40 |
| cfhowlett | WindowsMike, again: it depends. configurations, display effects, and many others. BUT | 03:40 |
| Phanes | if i could spell categorically i'd be abusing it right now | 03:41 |
| cfhowlett | WindowsMike, the easy answer is to install it - for free! - and test things for yourself rather than asking random internetz | 03:41 |
| * Phanes witholds tongue about gnome 3 bloat in the spirit of the statement | 03:44 | |
| cherwin | hello | 03:45 |
| Phanes | cherwin, exit code 0 | 03:47 |
| cherwin | Phanes: why did you exit succesfully? | 03:48 |
| cherwin | also, you're not a program and I'm not a shell | 03:48 |
| * cherwin is confused | 03:48 | |
| nono_ | hi | 03:49 |
| Phanes | nono_, exit code 0 | 03:49 |
| Phanes | ok ill stop | 03:50 |
| * cherwin smacks Phanes around a bit with a large trout | 03:50 | |
| FishPencil | Is there a Ubuntu iso that provides a live OS that only includes the terminal interface (no GUI)? Can Ubuntu server be run in live mode? | 03:52 |
| cfhowlett | FishPencil, answer to question 2 = no | 03:53 |
| cfhowlett | !mini | FishPencil | 03:53 |
| ubottu | FishPencil: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 03:53 |
| FishPencil | Look at that | 03:53 |
| bobdobbs | Can I manage rhythmbox remotely? And install the means to do so without moving? | 04:06 |
| bobdobbs | So, like, I'm in bed with my laptop because it is sunday | 04:06 |
| bobdobbs | I have shell access to my desktop | 04:06 |
| cfhowlett | bobdobbs, vnc | 04:06 |
| bobdobbs | I want to control rhythbox without have to move | 04:07 |
| bobdobbs | cfhowlett: ta. | 04:07 |
| cfhowlett | bobdobbs, ssh or vnc to the machine. | 04:07 |
| mukluks | apt install x11vnc | 04:09 |
| bobdobbs | mukluks: doing that now :) | 04:10 |
| bobdobbs | my mission for the rest of sunday is to stay in bed | 04:11 |
| bobdobbs | except maybe for food | 04:11 |
| mukluks | and poop | 04:11 |
| tgm4883 | that's cheating | 04:11 |
| * bobdobbs nods | 04:11 | |
| bobdobbs | so, x11vnc is a server? And I'll need a client on my lappy? | 04:11 |
| tgm4883 | remmina should work for a client, I think it's installed by default | 04:14 |
| mukluks | bobdobbs: yup, i use xtightvncviewer | 04:15 |
| danny_ | Hi | 04:15 |
| bobdobbs | I just install vinagre, cos it was easy | 04:15 |
| mukluks | bobdobbs: just ssh in to server, start x11vnc, wait a few seconds, connect from client, done | 04:15 |
| bobdobbs | mukluks: k | 04:16 |
| bobdobbs | I think I'm connected! | 04:17 |
| mukluks | bonus points for using pm-suspend on server when you're fininshed and using wakeonlan when you want to use it again | 04:18 |
| bobdobbs | YUS! connected! | 04:18 |
| bobdobbs | scaling makes it a bit tricky, cos I have two monitors on my desktop. BUt I can make out the rhythbox controls and can use them | 04:19 |
| bobdobbs | yay! | 04:19 |
| bobdobbs | \0/ | 04:19 |
| bobdobbs | now... how do I get rhythmbox to bring me my poop bucket? | 04:20 |
| cfhowlett | bobdobbs, family friendly channel and off-topic. enough. | 04:20 |
| bobdobbs | cfhowlett: sorry | 04:20 |
| bobdobbs | thanks all! | 04:20 |
| santos177 | hello everybody | 04:24 |
| Raulwynn | Okay, this is probably a silly question. How do I put an ISO on a hard drive that I can boot from to install on my hard drive. I can't use any of the stock ubuntu systems and all the ones I try to download it doesn't work. Also, for some reason my dd terminal commands aren't working. | 04:31 |
| Raulwynn | **ISO on a USB drive** | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | !install | Raulwynn | 04:31 |
| ubottu | Raulwynn: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 04:31 |
| Raulwynn | It's not ubuntu... it's another ISO | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | we only support ubuntu here. ask the other OS for support | 04:32 |
| Raulwynn | What? I am using ubuntu software. | 04:32 |
| ignacio | Raulwynn, which iso do you want to put in your usb/disk/whatever? | 04:32 |
| cfhowlett | but you are not trying to boot ubuntu. y | 04:32 |
| Raulwynn | xubuntu core | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | OK for the record; xubuntu is an official ubuntu flavor so it IS supported here. | 04:33 |
| cfhowlett | also see the install options link I sent earlier. the method is there | 04:34 |
| Raulwynn | ignacio, xubuntu core | 04:34 |
| ignacio | have you tried usb-creator-gtk /or idk the name/ | 04:34 |
| Raulwynn | ignacio, I have tried to get a few unetbootin, gmounted | 04:36 |
| bray90820 | I would assume 8Gb is enough to install ubuntu but when I do "sudo ddrescue -D --force '/media/data/ubuntu-mate-16.04-desktop-armhf-raspberry-pi.img' /dev/sde" I get an error saying "ddrescue: Write error: No space left on device" | 04:36 |
| Raulwynn | ignacio, I have closed my terminal since that. | 04:36 |
| ignacio | wanna hear a story?, It took me 3 hours to put a ubuntu iso in a usb from fedora | 04:36 |
| Raulwynn | ignacio, I'm trying to change from xubuntu to the core. I keep have gnome and sdk? I think popping up | 04:37 |
| Raulwynn | It's been a day long process. | 04:37 |
| ignacio | you will need to install those I guess | 04:37 |
| nic_ | ignacio, set bs=100M to avoid that, the default is bs=512 which means the data are transferred 512 *bytes* a time | 04:38 |
| ignacio | no, 3 hours because I couldn't make the usb bootable | 04:38 |
| ignacio | used dd and everything | 04:38 |
| Raulwynn | That's where I'm at. | 04:39 |
| Raulwynn | I can't get the dd to run it just closes on me. | 04:39 |
| matsasc | ignacio: did you remember to use the sync command after you used dd? | 04:39 |
| ignacio | 3 times :D | 04:39 |
| matsasc | check the hash? | 04:40 |
| santos177 | hello | 04:40 |

| Raulwynn | When using dd to iso to a USB do I /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? | 04:57 |

| Raulwynn | dd if=/home/user/Downloads/mini.iso | pv | of=/dev/sdf Is something wrong? I'm running in root | 05:01 |
| Ben64 | why running in root? and i'd put bs=1M in the output | 05:02 |

| tacomaster | Is there a way from the command line to unlock the default lock screen on ubuntu? | 05:28 |
| leaftype | tacomaster, why do you want to do it from the command line? | 05:29 |
| cherwin | tacomaster: maybe this? http://askubuntu.com/questions/505177/unlock-screen-from-command-line | 05:29 |
| tacomaster | leaftype: because i want to make a program that will unlock it from checking email address for a specific code to unlock the computer | 05:30 |
| leaftype | ah | 05:30 |
| cherwin | tacomaster: is this what you wanted? | 05:33 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: It is saying that you have to click the password field before it will work. | 05:34 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: Its a start to be honest but i am still looking | 05:34 |
| cherwin | tacomaster: yeah I see, that's not very helpful | 05:35 |
| nic_ | what is ubuntu's default lock screen program name? | 05:36 |
| tacomaster | nic_: its part of lightdm right? | 05:37 |
| nic_ | typically not, it's an external program. ''xlsclients'' might find out what it is, although I haven't tested it on the default ubuntu flavor | 05:39 |
| nic_ | once you know the program name, pkill/killall/kill $(pidof progname) should do the job | 05:40 |

| tacomaster | I know this is more of a python question but i installed python3-espeak but when i run it in a script it only says the first half of the first word. I have tired using time.sleep(5) to make sure the program is not just closing but nothing seems to get it to fully say it like when typing directly in the terminal | 06:12 |

| cherwin | tacomaster: looking at the github page I don't see anything with espeak.synth() | 06:19 |
| cherwin | it says you should be instantiating ESpeak and then use .say() | 06:20 |
| Phanes | lord the apache2 conf in this disto package is just butchered | 06:20 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: with the say() i get the exact same thing | 06:20 |

| gbear14275 | if I've added two nics to a bridge with a router behind the 2nd... is there a reason the computer with the bridged connections should be able to ping one side but not the other? I'm trying to connect a 10/100 switch behind a server I have but I can't figure out how to pass through the network to the switch behind the severs 2nd interface | 06:23 |
| gbear14275 | is adding both eth0 and eth1 to a br0 the wrong way? | 06:24 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: sudo apt-get install python3-espeak | 06:25 |
| gbear14275 | router1(192.168.1.1)---server:eth0:eth1 (192.168.1.112)---router2(192.168.1.200) | 06:25 |
| gbear14275 | Can I do that, or should I assign the 2nd router a different netblock? | 06:26 |
| Ben64 | gbear14275: should probably be asking in ##networking | 06:28 |
| cherwin | tacomaster: I'm not using ubuntu, but fedora | 06:28 |
| cherwin | there's no rpm for that | 06:29 |
| cherwin | and honestly I don't like installing python packages outside my virtualenv | 06:29 |
| jnoob22 | Just upgraded 14.04 to 16.04. Lots of problems but I think I've got them mostly fixed. I do have the old ATI graphics card where supposed fglrx drivers are no longer supported. No biggie but I do notice that if I start using gnome-session, the video acceleration works fine but if I use the old Unity/Ubuntu desktop (which I prefer) there are no graphic acceleration | 06:31 |
| jnoob22 | what gives? | 06:31 |
| === kevin is now known as Guest79420 | ||
| cherwin | tacomaster: ok I installed espeak and it works as advertised | 06:32 |
| Sean_McG | yeah my 16.04 upgrade didn't go smoothly either | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | jnoob22: how are you testing the video acceleration | 06:32 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: if i do espeak with my terminal it works fine. From python file it doesn't work for me | 06:32 |
| jnoob22 | Ben64 just eyeballing it | 06:33 |
| cherwin | hmm ok lemme check that out | 06:33 |
| jnoob22 | for instance one thing you can do is "grab" a window and "shake" it around a bit. | 06:34 |
| jnoob22 | maybe im using the wrong name for it "acceleration" | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | that doesn't mean anything for acceleration | 06:34 |
| jnoob22 | but you can kind of tell a difference | 06:34 |
| jnoob22 | ^^ | 06:34 |
| jnoob22 | maybe i dont know the proper term for it. | 06:34 |
| cherwin | tacomaster: also works when I save it to a file and execute it | 06:34 |
| jnoob22 | another thing is if I play a game like Bzflag, it works fine when I have the gnome-session running | 06:35 |
| Speiros | The link to the word "catalytic" is broken on the Ubuntu Operator Requirements page. | 06:35 |
| jnoob22 | but if I try to run the game in Unity, it's very very laggy and slow. | 06:35 |
| tacomaster | cherwin: no idea then.. wonder whats wrong with my package | 06:35 |
| Speiros | Or rather, I should say, I can't access it. | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | jnoob22: unity is slower | 06:35 |
| Speiros | 404 error | 06:35 |
| jnoob22 | well in 14.04 i never had an issue running it in Unity | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | to actually check acceleration, do glxinfo | grep rendering | 06:36 |
| Phanes | can someone please tell me why this is happening: http://paste.silogroup.org/xuwamoyine.js | 06:40 |
| Phanes | last i checked, and call me crazy, but when -root- is changing perms chmod shouldn't say -no- | 06:41 |

| Phanes | nevermind | 06:41 |
| Phanes | im being stupid | 06:41 |

| Firefishe | If a usb dongle doesn't turn on immediately when plugged into a usb port, and there isn't a dedicated switch, how can one send a *power on* command through the usb port to the dongle? | 07:01 |
| cherwin | lol | 07:01 |
| nic_ | shouldn't the dongle be recognized as soon as it's plugged in? That means, check dmesg | tail for relevant lines | 07:02 |
| elias_a | Firefishe: Never seen such a situation. | 07:02 |
| elias_a | Firefishe: Or lsusb | 07:02 |

| spearthistle | good morning, if a person has two laptops (A) and (B), and wishes you use (A) as a keyboard and mouse for (B), but doesn't want the bandwidth penalty of seeing (B)'s screen on (A), how would somebody achieve this? | 07:08 |
| Firefishe | ironhide_: http://termbin.com/9f31 | 07:09 |
| tgm4883 | spearthistle: there's an app called synergy to do that | 07:10 |
| tatertots | he hasn't said or identified what usb device he's talking about....i'm surprised he even posted the termbin being all super secretive | 07:10 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: Are you referring to me, or ironhide_? | 07:11 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: hi, what is the details of the usb device in question? make and or manufacture or any details that was on any of the products packaging might come in handy | 07:12 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: I have an older usb 2.1 dongle running a Broadcom BCM2046 chipset. The thing won't turn on when I plug it in. I"ve tried a slew of command line bluetooth procedures, all of which have failed. | 07:12 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: It's an older 2.1 usb mini-plug. IOGear is the brand, running a BCM2046 chipset. | 07:12 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: I'm looking for a command to directly access the device to power up. | 07:13 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: just to power up, nothing else. | 07:13 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: usb "blank" dongle???/....solve for "blank"...see there's usb wlan adapters, usb bluetooth adapters, usb modems? | 07:13 |
| tgm4883 | tatertots: it's bluetooth apparently | 07:13 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp. BCM2046B1 USB 2.0 Hub (part of BCM2046 Bluetooth) | 07:14 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: that one? | 07:14 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: did the device come with a wireless mouse and keyboard? | 07:16 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: Yes, that's the device, but I need to know how to access the chipset. I turned it off on an older version of 'doze years ago (Vista, I think) using a soft switch via a right-click menu in the systray. It worked on linux just fine, until after I used that switch. Then I upgraded, and havne't been able to get it to work on any platform since then. | 07:16 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: did the device come with a wireless mouse and keyboard? yes or no | 07:17 |
| Firefishe | no | 07:17 |
| Firefishe | stand alone | 07:17 |
| ducasse | Firefishe: have you tried rfkill? | 07:17 |
| Firefishe | ducasse: Yes, to no avail. | 07:18 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: have you shared your logs here? | 07:18 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: have you shared your logs here? yes or no | 07:19 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: No. | 07:19 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: hmmm | 07:19 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: any reason why not? | 07:19 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: This is a bit of a fishing expedition. I"m asking this on a variety of channels for a variety of distros. Not ubuntu, specifically, as it's a bit of a universal problem I have with a variety of linux os's with this particual dongle. It used to work, now it doesn't I'm trying to understand how bluetooth works in linux. | 07:20 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: if the answer is something like "no because i actually want to bang my head against a wall possibly for no reason at all'...that's certainly your prerogative | 07:20 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: I've been using gnu/linux since the Mandrake/Red Hat daze. I'm not trying to be overly obscure or obtuse. | 07:21 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: What logs do you want? | 07:21 |
| ducasse | Firefishe: is there anything in dmesg when you plug it in? | 07:22 |
| spearthistle | tgm4483: thanks, I found for the link, you can connect using ssh. 'ssh -X grower@symbiosis x2x -west -to :0.0' which puts (B)'s screen to the left/west of (A). | 07:22 |
| tatertots | Firefishe: i don't want them, it's telling enough that you're here about the usb dongle but yet no one has seen your logs as of yet...i've seen enough | 07:22 |
| Firefishe | tatertots: The question was regarding bluetooth command syntax for a BCM2046 chipset. | 07:23 |
| tgm4883 | tatertots: maybe I missed it, but did anyone ask him for logs? | 07:23 |
| Firefishe | ducasse: I appreciate the help, but I have to go,. | 07:23 |

| vasili | Hey is there a way to recover my broken linux desktop? I have my macbook pro dual partitioned - half of my 1tb SSD is OSX and the other half is Ubuntu 14 but I am having a bunch of problems with it | 09:51 |
| EriC^^ | !details | vasili | 09:51 |
| ubottu | vasili: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 09:51 |
| vasili | Is there a way I can somehow access my Linux data from my mac booted into OSX | 09:52 |
| EriC^^ | vasili: /join #osx | 09:52 |
| vasili | Sorry EriC^^ | 09:52 |
| EriC^^ | np | 09:52 |
| vasili | I hvae been using Linux for almost 10 years now - I am running Ubuntu 14 on my Late Macbook Pro 2011 - I forget what started it because it was a year ago - but I had a bug in the default Windows Manager (This happened a year ago, and as a result I had to start booting into OSX on this laptop rather than the Ubuntu partition) - but basically I was running into some issue with the GUI, I forget what the issue was, but it was something that was | 09:55 |
| vasili | critical like I am pretty sure it was preventing me form using my house)... So I had to navigate to Chrome using Window manager, and I switched Window managers based on my researc.. When I switched window managers, it fixed it, until I shutdown my laptop.. When I turned it back on, it only could boot into CLI mode.. | 09:55 |
| vasili | So normally this would not be a big deal - I am a software engineer for 3-4 years, and I have been working in CLI since I first installed Ubuntu on my macbook pro way way back in the day when I was probably like 16 (I am turning 26 next mont) - so I got real good at CLI, because I had to learn how to install ATI Drivers through CLI, just to get my old Macbook Pro to have a GUI... I fell in love, and just went from there.. Bought linux servers, | 09:57 |
| vasili | which I currently own and use as a data-farm... Long story short I am very experienced with CLI.. But I was NOT able to fix this | 09:57 |
| vasili | It got to the point where I remember that - just to get into the linux side of my laptop - when I booted into Linux - I had to do some crazy stufff and get lucky by hitting a key at the right time just to get Ubuntu to boot into CLI, and even there it was so hosed that it was basically useless.. I forget what GUI I switched to but it was something Light (or the light version of something) | 09:59 |
| vasili | I spent a long long long time trying to fix the Linux side of my laptop, but no luck - and it was so hard t eveen boot into it because I basically had to get lucky with some weird key-combo or something... basically its hosed but I would like to try and get the data off, or recover my Linux copy - I tried to recover it using the Install CD but I never was able to because the recover button was grayed out | 10:01 |
| vasili | Oh wait - I remember - it was LightDM | 10:02 |
| vasili | I had tons of problems with it | 10:03 |
| vasili | If I could load that half of my Partition in VirtualBox on my mac - that would be great | 10:03 |

| vasili | tomreyn yes! | 10:50 |
| tomreyn | vasili: okay, and OS X still works but ubuntu doesn't. and you want to backup / keep the data / user specific configurations you have stored on ubuntu and reinstall ubuntu? | 10:51 |
| vasili | yes! | 10:52 |
| tomreyn | do you know or can you find out how many partitions linux is installed on? just one, or multiple? | 10:52 |
| vasili | thanks for taking the time to look at this btw | 10:52 |
| tomreyn | np ;) | 10:52 |
| vasili | should be 1 but standy for a sec so I can verify | 10:52 |
| tomreyn | slavanap: you'll want RAID array memebers to at least cover a couple megabytes, probably more if it's backed by HDDs, to make reads writes more effective. | 10:54 |
| daisy | hi all | 10:55 |
| slavanap | tomreyn, well I've already found out that minimal chunk size for array is 1K. 512bytes is legacy. | 10:55 |

| tomreyn | !helpme | daisy | 10:59 |
| ubottu | daisy: Error: unresolvable <alias> to please | 10:59 |
| slavanap | tomreyn, ok. I was using ddrescue to rescue broken device. I applied ddrescue to /dev/sdq1 (partition) and not disk overall. To run testdisk on recovered image, I need to mount an image somewhere as block (maybe loop) device. I dd'ed begin and end of disk (parts before and after recovered partition). if I do `cat begin.raw par.raw end.raw > disk.raw` I'll get raw image of full disk for sure. But I'm still recovering thus I want to look at what was | 11:00 |
| slavanap | recovered already. | 11:00 |
| tomreyn | sorry daisy, please ignore what i / ubottu just told you | 11:00 |
| tomreyn | daisy: do explain the issue you are triyng to solve, though. therE's no need to ask who can help, people will help if they can and when they can. (feel free to repeat your question after a while= | 11:01 |
| slavanap | tomreyn, I need to somehow mount my parts as a new block device. Add Copy-On-Write temp file to this. And them safely run testdisk without possible corrupting my image I was got via ddrescue. | 11:01 |
| vasili | Sorry tomreyn - but yeah so Pink (red) is Ubuntu and orange is my Apple Partition. The Green is the EFI. I have a 1tb HD that I split 50/50 with half Ubuntu and half OSX - I am currently running on the OSX part ofcourse because my Ubuntu half broke a while ago - and that's why OSX is just reading the label of the Ubuntu Partition as just a bunch of FFFF-FFFFF-FFFFFFF-FF etc..." | 11:01 |
| tomreyn | vasili: okay, so just one partition, wehich means your user configuration data and the ubuntu system itself is on the same partition. that's why you can't just reinstall it easily. | 11:02 |

| daisy_ | come on guys im serious | 11:06 |
| tomreyn | daisy_: so am i. | 11:06 |
| slavanap | tomreyn, if you curious I'm now going through https://st.xorian.net/blog/2013/03/using-linux-device-mapper-snapshots-to-rescue-a-failed-raid/ and https://linux.die.net/man/8/dmsetup to setup proper device. | 11:07 |
| daisy_ | well donald duck wont help | 11:08 |
| tomreyn | vasili: so how about this: you assign the linux partition as a physical storage device to a virtualbox VM, share an OS X directory with this VM, (download and) boot the ubuntu desktop live cd in this VM, then create an archive file of your ubuntu home directory in the shared OS X directory, and just reinstall ubuntu on that ubuntu partition? | 11:10 |
| tomreyn | vasili: it could be much easier is OS X could mount and read the ubuntu partition itself, but i think that's not supported by Os X, right? | 11:11 |
| tomreyn | s/ is OS X / if OS X / | 11:12 |
| vasili | ohhhhhhh tomreyn what a great idea! I will try that now | 11:12 |
| vasili | Yeah it is not tomreyn - sorry for accidentally sending two messages instead of one again btw | 11:12 |
| vasili | tomreyn I tried that initially | 11:12 |
| tomreyn | vasili: 'that' which you tried initially is direct mounting / access from OS X to linux, right? | 11:14 |
| tomreyn | vasili: I just looked up the direct mounting approach, too, and it does not seem to be the way to go if you're on a current OS X version. | 11:16 |
| tomreyn | so better try the virtualbox approach | 11:16 |
| vasili | Yeah tomreyn I had tried directly mounting from OSX and yeah it seemed like it "should" work when I looked into it - but once I actually downloaded, installed and then tried it, it did not work at all... And yes I am trying the VirtualBox method you just thought of. Great Idea btw buddy I really appreciate it | 11:17 |
| tomreyn | vasili: welcome. herE's how you assign the partition to the VM: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk and then follow up at "9.9.1.2. Access to individual physical hard disk partitions" | 11:19 |

| slavanap | tomreyn, no problem | 11:37 |
| slavanap | quick question. Does these lines equal in bash? `array[$i]=$(echo 123; echo 456)` and `(echo 123; echo 456) > ${array[$i]}` ? | 11:38 |
| slavanap | omg, I'm wrong | 11:40 |
| tomreyn | slavanap: you don't redirect output into an array like this. | 11:40 |
| tomreyn | it'll write to a file named as the arra yinstead | 11:40 |
| slavanap | tomreyn, I just need output from `losetup -f --show`. Will try part_loop[$i]=`losetup -r -f --show ${part[$i]}` | 11:40 |
| winsen_ | elias_a: yes edit existing pdf yes | 11:42 |

| Naktibalda | Hi, I asked about failed upgrade to 16.04 earlier. I ran dpkg reconfigure and rebooted, | 11:57 |

| Rabbitnightmare | is there a way I can download my windows games with the Linux version of steam and run them in wine? | 12:04 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: it's really not that simple | 12:05 |
| Rabbitnightmare | ikonia: if I have the games already downloaded on a Windows machine, can I login to Linux with steam? | 12:07 |
| ikonia | no | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: only certain games will work with Linux, Steam sometimes wraps with wine, or running wine on it's own. it really depends on a load of things | 12:07 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: sadly, I have the unpopular view that to play windows games properly you need to use windows | 12:07 |
| Rabbitnightmare | alrighty ty | 12:07 |
| Rabbitnightmare | yeah no they should try to integrate wine into Steam | 12:08 |
| Rabbitnightmare | ikonia: that requires I buy windows | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: wine is not a solution | 12:08 |
| Rabbitnightmare | if I wanted to be a pirate I would have simply pirated windows and the games I want to play | 12:08 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: so no way should wine be integrated into steam | 12:08 |

| === Guest77323 is now known as Zelda006 | ||
| Rabbitnightmare | ikonia: a properly configured wine is just as compatible as Windows | 12:10 |
| Rabbitnightmare | maybe your adherence to broken principals has kept you from updated builds of wine | 12:10 |
| Zelda006 | are there other programms like wine ? | 12:10 |
| Rabbitnightmare | but it has gotten quite stable | 12:10 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: no, I'm sorry, it's not | 12:11 |
| Rabbitnightmare | Zelda006: nothing free or as good | 12:11 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: wine is a moving target with changing support | 12:11 |
| Zelda006 | ok thanks | 12:11 |
| Rabbitnightmare | Zelda006: there are talks that MS might be working their own BLOB that lets you run windows apps etc on Linux that you may be able to license but rumors be what they are, untrue til proven | 12:12 |
| Rabbitnightmare | its a solid rumor though | 12:12 |
| tatertots | solid rumor sounds like a truthful lie | 12:13 |
| ikonia | I've not heard of such "rumours" | 12:13 |
| Rabbitnightmare | tatertots: well, .NET is open source, windows power shell, etc being open source, Microsoft announced windows 10 is the last version of windows | 12:13 |
| Rabbitnightmare | there are no new beta versions of windows other than 10 updates | 12:13 |
| ikonia | not sure what .net being open source and no new beta versions of windows 10 have to do with the rumour you just suggested | 12:14 |
| tatertots | Rabbitnightmare: just say that ..solid and rumor go together like a honest fib | 12:14 |
| tatertots | just saying | 12:14 |
| Rabbitnightmare | well just repeating something I read in some news story | 12:14 |
| ikonia | I've not seen any mention or reference to a rumour | 12:15 |
| tatertots | or a hot cold day | 12:15 |
| Rabbitnightmare | idk they are making edge open source | 12:18 |
| Rabbitnightmare | they made the java engine for IE open source | 12:18 |
| ikonia | again, no sure what that has got to do with the rumour you're pushing | 12:18 |
| Rabbitnightmare | not really pushing just mentioned it passing with a warning tacked on, you are the one losing youir panties over it | 12:19 |
| ikonia | I don't think edge is actually open source | 12:19 |
| ikonia | I'm not losing anything over it, | 12:19 |
| Rabbitnightmare | not yet | 12:19 |
| ikonia | ? | 12:19 |
| Rabbitnightmare | its going to be an interesting year | 12:20 |
| jacek | 07459316239 | 12:24 |
| ikonia | ? | 12:24 |
| Rabbitnightmare | its his handle in alt code | 12:25 |
| Rabbitnightmare | pretty smart | 12:25 |
| ikonia | alt code ? | 12:25 |
| Rabbitnightmare | its the address at which keyboards read and display letters, if you hold down alt and press numbers, they output characters | 12:26 |
| Rabbitnightmare | þ such as this which cant be found on the keyboard is 02558 | 12:26 |
| Rabbitnightmare | sɹǝʇɔɐɹɐɥɔ uʍop ǝpᴉsdn ǝdʎʇ uǝʌǝ uɐɔ noʎ | 12:28 |
| ikonia | so as his starts with 074 | 12:28 |
| ikonia | Rabbitnightmare: J = 106 | 12:28 |
| ikonia | that seems to not be true | 12:28 |
| Rabbitnightmare | J j | 12:28 |
| ikonia | ahh thats lower case | 12:28 |
| ikonia | I see | 12:28 |
| Rabbitnightmare | neat huh? | 12:28 |
| ikonia | so the case matters too, very interesting | 12:28 |
| ikonia | the second letter doesn't match an "a" though, | 12:29 |
| Rabbitnightmare | imageboards which shall go unnamed taught me crap like this | 12:29 |

| saju_m | Hi | 12:37 |
| saju_m | I have a question | 12:37 |
| saju_m | Recently my own debian package repo (use reprepro tool) server got damaged and lost all packages. | 12:38 |
| saju_m | Then I rebuild new repo by copying cached packages from all servers (/var/cache/apt/archives). | 12:38 |
| saju_m | I used "reprepro includedeb" command ro rebuild the repo. | 12:38 |
| saju_m | Now I want to test new repo. | 12:38 |
| saju_m | For that, I am planing to delete all old repo link from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xxx, then add new repo. | 12:38 |
| saju_m | After that I want to confirm that, all the installed packages in the server now pointing to this new rep, How to do that? | 12:38 |
| saju_m | I have posted my question here http://paste.ubuntu.com/23804143/ | 12:40 |
| ikonia | saju_m: packages don't point to repos | 12:47 |
| ikonia | once a host has that repo defined in it's repo list, it's done | 12:47 |
| saju_m | ikonia, I am looking for a way to find missing packages in the new repo. | 12:48 |
| ikonia | missing packages ? | 12:48 |
| saju_m | find the packages which are installed in the server and not exist in new repo | 12:48 |
| ikonia | why would there be missing packages | 12:48 |
| saju_m | earlier i were using multiple repositories , those repositories were running in one of my server | 12:49 |
| saju_m | that server got damaged | 12:50 |
| saju_m | and lost all repos | 12:50 |
| ikonia | saju_m: is this a copy of an upstream repo, or a custom repo you've built yourself | 12:50 |
| saju_m | custom repo | 12:50 |
| ikonia | saju_m: so if it's your repo, you'll need to audit it yourself, just script a manifest of your hosts and compare | 12:50 |
| saju_m | so i have tried to rebuild it from server's apt cache | 12:50 |
| saju_m | ikonia, are you suggesting this | 12:52 |
| Kovalsky | Afternoon. | 12:52 |
| ikonia | suggesting what ? | 12:52 |
| saju_m | find all installed packages using $dpkg -l | 12:52 |
| saju_m | then for each package run $apt-cache policy pkgname | 12:52 |
| ikonia | saju_m: thats one way yes | 12:52 |
| ikonia | you could just actually search the repo file system too | 12:53 |
| saju_m | and find repo, and check is it my new repo | 12:53 |
| ikonia | (as you control the repo) | 12:53 |
| saju_m | ok | 12:55 |
| Kovalsky | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) | 12:55 |

| Kovalsky | do you know how to switch between them ? | 12:55 |
| Kovalsky | Because at the present moment only "Intel® Sandybridge Mobile " is active. | 12:56 |
| saju_m | ikonia, there are packages which installed from ubuntu.iso , when we installed OS | 12:58 |
| saju_m | ikonia, How to filter those packages | 12:58 |
| Kovalsky | Anyone can help ? | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | Kovalsky: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics | 12:58 |
| saju_m | ikonia, when i do $dpkg -l, those packages also coming | 12:58 |
| Kovalsky | Many Thanks, this should do the trick. | 12:59 |
| ikonia | saju_m: so you basically only want to know packages that did not come from the ubuntu repos | 13:00 |
| saju_m | ikonia, no, some packages which i installed from ubuntu repo also i need to know | 13:01 |
| saju_m | ikonia, basically, i want to know all packages which i installed after OS installation | 13:02 |
| ioria | saju_m, can't you check /var/log/apt/history.log by date ? | 13:03 |
| saju_m | ioria, let me check, what is there | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all\ | 13:07 |
| ikonia | saju_m: what does it matter if they are installed during/after the install, they will still need to be in your repo | 13:07 |
| oem_ | oem | 13:11 |
| oem_ | ja pobrac chrome | 13:11 |

| MonkeyDust | oem_ it works, we see you | 13:12 |
| saju_m | ikonia, i am using Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, i dont want packages coming with iso of Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS in my repo | 13:12 |
| oem_ | what instal chrome | 13:12 |
| oem_ | poland | 13:12 |
| MonkeyDust | !pl | 13:12 |
| ikonia | saju_m: right, so you want packages that are not provided by the main ubuntu repo then | 13:12 |
| ubottu | Na tym kanale używamy tylko języka angielskiego. Możesz uzyskać pomoc w języku polskim na #ubuntu-pl. | 13:12 |
| oem_ | jak\ | 13:13 |
| saju_m | ikonia, after OS installation i installed some packages from ubuntu main repo. | 13:14 |
| bn | saju_m: You could just check .bash_history, like: cat /root/.bash_history | grep "apt install" | 13:14 |
| ikonia | saju_m: right, so in that case you need the ubuntu main repo | 13:14 |
| saju_m | ikonia, but, now exact version will not be there | 13:14 |
| ikonia | saju_m: so the fact that it's on the CD means nothing, you need the main repo | 13:15 |
| saju_m | ikonia, there will be latestt version in ubuntu main repo | 13:15 |
| saju_m | ikonia, i dont want the latest version og packages which i installed | 13:16 |
| ikonia | saju_m: thats right, | 13:16 |
| elias_a | winsen_: If you don't have some particular reason for using an ancient version, yes you should. | 13:16 |
| ikonia | saju_m: then just copy the repo from the CD | 13:16 |
| MonkeyDust | saju_m there's also this command ... apt-clone clone --with-dpkg-repack [backup folder] ... 'repack' copies the pkg names which did not come from the repos | 13:17 |
| sqdf | hello everybody | 13:19 |
| apestate | hi | 13:19 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: thats nice, I didn't know the --repack option | 13:19 |
| sqdf | i'm experiencing a problem with my ubuntu | 13:19 |

| saju_m | MonkeyDust, thanks | 13:20 |
| sqdf | all of a sudden my System Center 2012 stopt backuping my ubunut | 13:20 |
| apestate | oh dear | 13:20 |
| cfhowlett | 2012? what version of ubuntu? | 13:20 |

| sqdf | ubuntu 16.4 | 13:20 |
| winsen_ | elias_a: now it works thanks | 13:20 |
| ikonia | sqdf: I'm not sure what you're asking here.... | 13:21 |
| sqdf | i looked at the package details for the system center | 13:21 |
| sqdf | but cant find any updates recently done | 13:21 |
| ikonia | system center ? | 13:21 |
| sqdf | is this a known issue, comunity forum says nothing about it | 13:21 |
| sqdf | System Center 2012 | 13:21 |
| ikonia | as in microsoft system center | 13:22 |
| cfhowlett | no such ubuntu such software. | 13:22 |
| sqdf | yep | 13:22 |
| sqdf | microsoft 2012 R2 Domain | 13:22 |
| ikonia | sqdf: so are you trying to get an ubuntu server to be visible in microsoft system center ? | 13:22 |
| ikonia | (join a 2012 domain) | 13:22 |
| saju_m | MonkeyDust, this will copy all packages which doesn't have repo, that means these packages are came from CD/iso image, right ? | 13:22 |
| sqdf | oh no | 13:22 |
| sqdf | that is not the issue | 13:22 |
| winsen_ | elias_a do you how to get shortcut thunderbird? | 13:22 |
| sqdf | the ubuntu server normaly gets backuped while being online | 13:23 |
| sqdf | no shutdown is required to backup the full system | 13:23 |
| sqdf | as is the same with the windows machines running in the domain | 13:23 |
| ikonia | ok, so you sucessfully have ubuntu being backed up | 13:23 |
| sqdf | a couple of days ago the backup of the ubuntu server is returing failed | 13:23 |
| cfhowlett | you might be better served asking #ubuntu-server -- | 13:23 |
| sqdf | if i swith the ubuntu server to an offline mode it works again | 13:23 |
| saju_m | MonkeyDust, suppose i installed a package1 from repo1, then deleted repo1 from /etc/apt/sources.list, does that package also cloned by that command ? | 13:24 |
| sqdf | #ubuntu-server | 13:24 |
| sqdf | the name sugests i might ask their | 13:24 |
| cfhowlett | !server | sqdf | 13:24 |

| saju_m | ikonia, MonkeyDust , suppose i installed a package1 from repo1, then deleted repo1 from /etc/apt/sources.list, then run $apt-get update, Now how do I find the rpo of the package1, How do i know that whether package 1 is installed from CD/iso or another repo ? | 13:27 |
| elias_a | winsen_: Desktop shortcut or what? | 13:27 |
| MonkeyDust | saju_m not sure, did not try it ... for 'repack' you need to have their .deb files stored somewhere | 13:29 |
| saju_m | ok | 13:30 |
| saju_m | does ubuntu remove this type packages when we run apt-get autoremove ? | 13:31 |
| saju_m | i have seen some apt-get -f install also | 13:32 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: no it doesn't remove it | 13:32 |
| saju_m | that also don't touch this type of repo less packages | 13:32 |
| saju_m | ok | 13:32 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: and apt-cache policy package to answer your first q | 13:32 |
| saju_m | apt-cache policy packagename, shows empty repo | 13:33 |
| saju_m | fro that i can't figure out whether this package is installed from CD/iso or another repo | 13:34 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: if it's empty i think it's not in your sources.list then | 13:34 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: you mean you want to know if it was in the default installer packages or not? | 13:35 |
| saju_m | yes, that is what i mentioned earlier, I lost sources.lst | 13:35 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: default installer or default repos? | 13:35 |
| EriC^^ | you want to know if it was installed by default when ubuntu installed itself or you want to know if it was installed from the official repos? | 13:36 |
| saju_m | sorry ,what is default installer ? | 13:36 |
| EriC^^ | did you understand what i mean? | 13:36 |
| saju_m | yes, i got | 13:37 |
| EriC^^ | so which is it? | 13:37 |
| saju_m | suppose i installed a package1 from customrepo1, then deleted customrepo1 from /etc/apt/sources.list. Now hoe do i find it was installed from default installer or default repos or customrepo1? | 13:39 |
| EriC^^ | you want to know if the package was in the freshly installed system ?(is that what you mean by CD/iso)? or you mean just the official repository | 13:39 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: oh ok, apt-cache policy package should say | 13:39 |

| saju_m | i am trying to recreate it from cached packages from all servers (/var/cache/apt/archives). | 13:46 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: did you see /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ? | 13:47 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: try "apt show package" and look at APT-Sources | 13:48 |
| EriC^^ | nevermind, without the stuff in /var/lib i dont think it would work | 13:48 |
| EriC^^ | saju_m: try to see log files maybe, /var/log/apt/history* | 13:49 |
| ikonia | saju_m: it really sounds like the idea for maintaining a repo for you may be totally different than how it's meant to work | 13:49 |
| saju_m | history not there | 13:49 |
| ikonia | saju_m: logically you could just copy the repo from the CD if you wanted to make sure it was the same versin as the install media | 13:50 |
| saju_m | k | 13:50 |
| saju_m | EriC^^, please read this http://paste.ubuntu.com/23804143/ | 13:50 |
| saju_m | actually i recreated new repo | 13:51 |

| boontoon | Hi. I just did an upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 after prompt. It said it didn't finish properly and it might be unstable but then closed. What logs will have the output? And how do I fix the possibly broken upgrade? | 14:51 |

| boontoon | didn't want to restart if I could fix now and have no problems | 15:01 |
| Snowboarder | Hello | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | boontoon, so where to whathas your install progressed ...it's difficult to assess without knowing what state it's in | 15:04 |
| BluesKaj | oops where to | 15:05 |
| boontoon | BluesKaj it seemed to get to the very end and then give the error. It was in the process of installing all the new packages it downloaded. As I say it then closed and I'm not sure if it'd log it anywhere to help you | 15:06 |
| BluesKaj | boontoon, try running sudo do-release-upgrade again | 15:07 |
| taora | hello everyone, can I create a logical (extended) partition on a whole disk? | 15:07 |
| boontoon | BluesKaj: says "no new release found" | 15:08 |
| boontoon | I've also run apt-get install -f | 15:08 |
| BluesKaj | boontoon, then run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade | 15:09 |
| boontoon | BluesKaj all up-to-date already. Maybe it upgraded okay and some old packages made it think it's gone bad? | 15:11 |
| ducasse | boontoon: try an apt full-upgrade | 15:12 |
| BluesKaj | ok boontoon run lsb_release -a | 15:12 |
| florian | who knows macbuntu | 15:13 |
| boontoon | BluesKaj: says 16.04 | 15:14 |
| boontoon | ducasse: that also says up-to-date | 15:16 |
| ducasse | boontoon: then do 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' | 15:18 |
| boontoon | ducasse: no output | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | boontoon, ok drop to VT/TTY, ctl+alt+F1-F6 and try to return to the desktop with ctl+alt+F7 | 15:19 |
| boontoon | BluesKaj: yep, works fine | 15:20 |
| ducasse | boontoon: good. then do apt autoremove and you should be fine. | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse,good suggestion, then boontoon the next move is a reboot to be absolutely sure | 15:22 |
| boontoon | ducasse, BluesKaj. okay will do. cheers guys | 15:22 |

| hydrajump | ikonia: I've read and tried to follow that guide, but I'm stuck at where to copy my kernel module. | 18:45 |
| hydrajump | on a running ubuntu system I understand that I can load the kernel module with `modprobe foo`, but I'm not clear on how to do this when I've extracted the livecd filesystem | 18:46 |
| ikonia | hydrajump: into the kernels module tree | 18:49 |
| ikonia | blag: into the kernels module tree | 18:49 |
| ikonia | oops | 18:49 |
| hydrajump | ikonia: you mean `/lib/modules/4.8.0-22-generic/kernel/drivers/input/foo.ko? | 18:52 |
| ikonia | hydrajump: what livecd is that ? | 18:55 |
| hydrajump | ikonia: ubuntu-desktop-16.10-amd64.iso | 18:55 |
| ikonia | just looks a "late" kernel | 18:56 |
| ikonia | ahh 16.10 | 18:56 |
| ioria | hydrajump, yo can also modify the initrd.img , repack and recreate the iso | 18:59 |
| hydrajump | ioria: can you please elaborate? | 19:02 |
| hydrajump | ioria: at the moment i've been following the instructions in LiveCDCustomization and I have extracted the squashfs filesystem | 19:04 |
| ioria | hydrajump, i did it with the mini iso. If you mount the iso, copy the content in another folder you can edit the initrd.img, then you can repack initrd.img and redo the iso | 19:04 |
| ioria | hydrajump, but LiveCDCustomization is ok too, i guess | 19:05 |

| TheNH813 | Mouse is acting very buggy. Scrolling up causes the browser to go back a random number of pages. The mouse is a Microsoft IntelliMouse 1.1A. | 19:16 |
| TheNH813 | Could it be a driver issue or an issue with the PS/2 > USB bridge adaptor? | 19:16 |
| xangua | TheNH813: maybe an add-on? | 19:17 |
| xangua | Oh adapter, no idea | 19:17 |

| exx0r | good evening | 19:50 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | good afternoon | 19:50 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | I'm split on Linux right now. | 19:50 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | My laptop works pretty good with Linux but my desktop is Windows and I find most stuff I do works better on Windows than Linux so far | 19:51 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | I'm probably after OSX really | 19:51 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | ? | 19:52 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | oh, ty DalekSec | 19:53 |
| nek_knak | Is there some kind of minimal iso if I want the ubuntu base system but use a different wm/de than unity? | 19:53 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | server image is as minimal as it gets with Ubuntu | 19:53 |
| xangua | !flavors | nek_knak | 19:53 |
| ubottu | nek_knak: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE | 19:53 |
| OerHeks | !mini | 19:54 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 19:54 |
| xangua | I think there's a mini ISO also | 19:54 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | The mini iso isn't wha he wants. | 19:54 |
| xangua | Oh there | 19:54 |
| nek_knak | Ah, yeah, the mini one seems to be what I'm looking for | 19:54 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | the mini iso is just a smaller disk image | 19:54 |
| nek_knak | Or can I just select what package groups I want to install with the big one too? | 19:54 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | sorta... | 19:55 |
| nek_knak | haven't tried it yet (looking for something like the fedora netinstaller, where you can do exactly that) | 19:55 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | I can't remember if the mini one comes with Unity or not but the serve rdoesn't | 19:55 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | the mini is basically net install | 19:55 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: if you want to get your hands dirty, Ubuntu Server makes a good tiny Ubuntu base, if you don't, try a flavour. | 19:55 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: I might reccomend Ubuntu Budgie | 19:56 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | Technically Budgie Remix right now, as of 17.04 it will be officially a flavour | 19:56 |
| OerHeks | You can install any desktop environment with --no-install-recommends, but that is a choise | 19:56 |
| OerHeks | ( with the mini iso) | 19:56 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | The only thing I have against Linux in general is the lack of polish | 19:57 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | Ubuntu with Unity is well polished but once you stray away it gets ruffer. | 19:57 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | At least under the Ubuntu Umbrella | 19:57 |
| xangua | I find other Ubuntu flavors well polished | 19:58 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | So for example, Ubuntu Mate is pretty hard to customize how it looks and kinda ugly. | 19:58 |
| OerHeks | kefgnsdfjsdjk, for you? not for the most of us | 19:58 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | OerHeks: regular old Ubuntu is the most polished distro I've ever tried | 19:58 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | It was like I installed Windows, but it was Linux | 19:58 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | Everything just worked | 19:59 |
| nek_knak | kefgnsdfjsdjk: don't really want to get my hands dirty. I mean I'm well past my arch linux phase. I just want something stable and simple | 19:59 |
| xangua | Ubuntu mate has a dedicated tweak tool abd well... That's what gnome 2 looked like half a decade ago... kefgnsdfjsdjk | 19:59 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: Ubuntu | 19:59 |
| nek_knak | The only problem is I'm so sick of non-tiling WMs | 19:59 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | xangua: I know, the tool sucks and installing themes is a PITA | 19:59 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: If you really want to get your hands dirty you could go Debian + i3 | 19:59 |
| OerHeks | oh dear, what is wrong with ubuntu + i3 ? do not suggest other distro's, please. | 20:00 |
| squeakytoy | is it smarter to launch background processes as "sudo"? | 20:00 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | You have to go through the hastle of killing Unity off | 20:00 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | squeakytoy: only if they need root permissions | 20:00 |
| nek_knak | exactly that's something I'd like to avoid | 20:00 |
| ioria | squeakytoy, like what ? | 20:01 |
| xangua | kefgnsdfjsdjk: I think you're mixing lots of things | 20:01 |
| squeakytoy | kefgnsdfjsdjk, so it doesn't impact the reliability of the process uptime? | 20:01 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | squeakytoy: no | 20:01 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | xangua: I came from Ubuntu Mate. It worked well but it was ugly as sin. | 20:01 |
| OerHeks | squeakytoy, if you have to ask, the answer is no. | 20:01 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | now on Budgie Remix and wow is raven slick | 20:02 |
| squeakytoy | OerHeks, "ok" | 20:02 |
| OerHeks | ugly is an opinion | 20:02 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: is tiling required...? | 20:02 |
| Votan | Hi, question, I have a Soundblaster Recon 3Di onboard and it works fine but only on the speakers. How do I tell it to use the headphones instead by default? | 20:03 |
| nek_knak | kefgnsdfjsdjk: not really, but I'd really love to be able to navigate windows in a more fine grained way than alt-tabbing through loads of stuff | 20:03 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: I'd say try Ubuntu with Unity first, if you don't like it try a flavour. Ubuntu is about as "it just werks" as it gets | 20:03 |
| nek_knak | I'm so used to hjkl-ing my way through i3 | 20:03 |
| nek_knak | everything else feels kinda clunky | 20:03 |
| nek_knak | also I'm using like 10 workspaces usually and most WMs/DEs don't really do that well | 20:03 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | nek_knak: you can always install Ubuntu and sudo apt-get install i3wm or it was i3? and select it when logging in through lightdm | 20:04 |
| nek_knak | Yeah, I just thought there would be some way to manually fixing font rendering and all that.. ;) | 20:04 |
| nek_knak | to avoid* | 20:05 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | It should work fine | 20:05 |
| nek_knak | I guess I'll just try it then | 20:05 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | install it in virtualbox | 20:06 |
| kefgnsdfjsdjk | try before you buy :P | 20:06 |
| nek_knak | Yeah probably I'm even going to try budgie that way | 20:06 |
| nek_knak | It just looks super neat | 20:07 |
| taora | hello everyone, how can I import my keyrings from gnome-keyring to keepass? | 20:07 |

| nek_knak | well, thanks a lot guys. bye! | 20:10 |

| taora | ok, solved it with a workaround..but I have one more question..I am trying to install nixnote to an ubuntu derivative distro, but get this error even though I installed the qt driver in the repo: paste.ubuntu.com/23806555 | 20:10 |
| OerHeks | taora, what derivate? we support official flavors only | 20:12 |
| taora | OerHeks, it is UberStudent OS..is it an official flavor? | 20:13 |
| OerHeks | nope ( and i never heard/read about it ) | 20:14 |
| OerHeks | nixnote does not install on ubuntu 16.x bug > https://sourceforge.net/p/nevernote/bugs/251/ | 20:14 |

| hydrajump | I'm thinking that it has something to do with this `sudo mkisofs -D -r -V "$IMAGE_NAME" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ../ubuntu-9.04.1-desktop-i386-custom.iso .` | 21:50 |
| hydrajump | looks liks that mkisofs command in the wiki doesn't create a valid partition table | 21:56 |

| taora | hello everyone, I installed 2 systems of the same distro on my disk, and now I don't see one of them in grub..can you help me fix this please? | 22:09 |
| Bashing-om | taora: ' sudo update-grub ' does not pick up the secondary system - booted from your primary ? | 22:11 |
| Pilot200hr | So I have got a new install of Ubuntu running and installed Kodi, the remote works fine but is pulling up other applications in Ubuntu with some keys, where is that configured, it is not the old Lirc that I remember | 22:11 |
| taora | Bashing-om, I haven | 22:11 |
| dinet | ok, I know this is not an ubuntu specific question. But somehow our homerouter is dosing our computers. its an ASUS RT-AC56U | 22:11 |
| taora | Bashing-om, sorry..I haven't tried this command | 22:12 |
| taora | I will do so, hope it works | 22:12 |
| dinet | I'm looking for some pointer on what it can be | 22:12 |
| taora | during installation the debian installation GUI had asked me if all the other OSes on disk are shown, and I'd noticed that the same other OS as the one I was installing was not shown..but I went on with the install | 22:13 |
| k1l_ | taora: please show a "sudo parted -l" in paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here | 22:14 |
| Bashing-om | taora: I too multiboot, and I did experience recursion in the boot config files . My solution was to diable 30_os-prober on the secondary systems . | 22:15 |
| taora | k1l_, Bashing-om, currently an install continues on the machine, I will run the commands as soon as I have access to desktop again | 22:17 |
| Bashing-om | taora: k; and see k1l_'s directive above . | 22:18 |

| plantroon | Hello | 22:22 |
| kekpons | sorry | 22:22 |
| taora | Bashing-om, sure, still waiting for the process to end | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | taora: Sure . at your pace as we can do :) | 22:25 |
| Pilot200hr | So I have got a new install of Ubuntu running and installed Kodi, the remote works fine but is pulling up other applications in Ubuntu with some keys, where is that configured, it is not the old Lirc that I remember | 22:27 |
| taora | Bashing-om, thank you :) | 22:27 |
| taora | Bashing-om, problem solved..since the process that just went on was an install, too, it reinstalled grub and fixed the problem :) | 22:35 |
| taora | Bashing-om, k1l_, thank you very much! | 22:36 |
| Bashing-om | taora: Good deal. you do good work :) | 22:44 |

| rizonz | does anyone know if 16.04 has apache event per default ? I'm checking this out comparing to 14.04 which does not have a mpm-event package | 23:00 |
| yan__ | hello | 23:01 |
| yan__ | its me | 23:01 |
| Iriez | Hey itsme, my name is Iriez | 23:01 |
| n4n0` | rizonz: By default 16.04 does not contain MPM, that is a package that will be installed when apache2 is installed. | 23:03 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: yes but -event is not there at all but -worker is | 23:05 |
| rizonz | so I think event is now default installed ? | 23:06 |
| n4n0` | rizonz: After apache2 is installed by default mpm_worker module is included, they are all included in the apache2-bin package which is a dependency of apache2. By default mpm_event module is enabled, you can disable it and enable mpm_worker with "a2dismod mpm_event; a2enmod mpm_worker" and then restart apache2 for the configuration to take place. | 23:09 |
| binarydepth | salut n4n0 | 23:10 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: ok, some change then :) thanks | 23:10 |
| === Chappie-san2 is now known as Chappie-san | ||
| n4n0` | rizonz: Np rizonz, it is a noticeable change from 14 to 16. | 23:11 |
| n4n0` | binarydepth: salute. :P | 23:11 |
| binarydepth | What is this IP info for ? | 23:11 |
| binarydepth | when an User Joins | 23:11 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: yap need to check some changelogs more and more for what has been changed | 23:11 |
| keepwatchingme | hi ! | 23:11 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: some update service in my mialbox or so that notices me about the right stuff | 23:12 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: weird thing on 14.04 is that the module is in but you can still install the package | 23:13 |
| n4n0` | rizonz: I could be wrong but I believe that mpm functionality changed with apache 2.4. I know in 14.04 you were required to install additional packages (apache2-mpm-event) since it wasn't included in apache2-bin. | 23:16 |
| binarydepth | Hey Dreaman | 23:16 |
| rizonz | n4n0`: yeah it's weird | 23:17 |
| n4n0` | binarydepth: If you are referring to the IP info when someone joins the channel, they are the user's ident @ hostmask, you can change that information by using HostServ which is a service provided by NickServ (anope) | 23:17 |
| Dreaman | o | 23:17 |
| binarydepth | n4n0 ok | 23:19 |
| poco_ | Anyone mind helping me figure out why my icons are so messed up? I never had any issue on my laptop running Kubuntu http://i.imgur.com/K5qkRnp.png | 23:23 |
| binarydepth | A theme change ? | 23:23 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, that was my first thought and unfortunately changing themes doesn't do anything | 23:24 |
| binarydepth | Check the desktop entries of any of the apps involved | 23:24 |
| poco_ | I can't screenshot it but I'm also missing icons in the application launcher | 23:24 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, by that you mean check where? | 23:25 |
| binarydepth | "/usr/share/applications" | 23:25 |
| binarydepth | Oh sorry | 23:25 |
| binarydepth | I haven't actually checkled those files for icons | 23:26 |
| binarydepth | let m =e first check one here | 23:26 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, ah yeah they're missing there but what's weird is that when the app is open the icons are normal | 23:26 |
| binarydepth | Well the .desktop files could be the factor here | 23:28 |
| poco_ | http://i.imgur.com/ngK7qYp.png | 23:28 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, any idea how to remedy it? | 23:29 |
| binarydepth | Well try modifying this file and putting it in the path I told you before | 23:30 |
| binarydepth | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23807669/ | 23:30 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, wait so I'm supposed to make a file for each app I'm missing? | 23:32 |
| binarydepth | Well If you have the patience... But this could show if this is the problem ;) | 23:33 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, and what should I save this new file as? | 23:33 |
| binarydepth | this file is called atom.desktop | 23:34 |
| binarydepth | for the atom entry | 23:34 |
| poco_ | but I already have a [app].desktop | 23:34 |
| poco_ | for example I opened up my Atom and it's exactly the same as what you gave me | 23:35 |
| k1l_ | poco_: maybe the guys in #kubuntu can tell you if that is a known kde error. | 23:35 |
| poco_ | k1l_, I'll ask thanks | 23:36 |
| k1l_ | poco_: did you try a logout and relogin to the desktop? | 23:36 |
| poco_ | yeah I've been having this issue all week since I installed Kubuntu from scratch. I also have Kubuntu on my laptop and no issue | 23:36 |
| binarydepth | Well I tried here and taking out the desktop file does take out the icon | 23:37 |
| binarydepth | And when I open it the Icon is there | 23:38 |
| poco_ | yeah the icon always appears whenever I open the app | 23:38 |
| binarydepth | Maybe you should file a bug to the KDE Task manager poco_ | 23:38 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, should I still file a bug even if I can't replicate the issue on another machine? | 23:39 |
| binarydepth | No in that case it is not useful | 23:39 |
| binarydepth | Ok I checked the DEB package of chromium browser in "/var/cache/apt/archives" | 23:42 |
| binarydepth | And the package should have the desktop file in it | 23:43 |
| binarydepth | The trick is opening it with the Archive manager | 23:43 |
| poco_ | hmm ok one sec. I ended up losing a file in my applications directory while trying to edit it. Trying to get it back | 23:44 |
| binarydepth | poco_ do you get the idea ? | 23:45 |
| poco_ | binarydepth, I don't I'm sorry :( | 23:45 |
| binarydepth | http://imgur.com/a/8blv6 | 23:46 |
| binarydepth | The idea is to browse into one of the packages and check if it has the ".desktop" in the "/usr/share/applications" | 23:47 |
| binarydepth | check the image uploaded | 23:47 |
| binarydepth | http://imgur.com/a/8blv6 | 23:47 |
| poco_ | Ok, I found Firefox or example which has a firefox.desktop entry | 23:47 |
| poco_ | but missing an icon | 23:47 |
| binarydepth | ok then you can try installing "aptitude" | 23:48 |
| binarydepth | "apt-get install aptitude" | 23:48 |
| poco_ | so reinstall Firefox is what you're saying? | 23:49 |
| binarydepth | Yes | 23:49 |
| binarydepth | and check if the ".desktop" was installed too | 23:49 |
| poco_ | well the .desktop files are all there | 23:49 |
| binarydepth | It is kind of pointing into a HDD problem I might say | 23:50 |
| poco_ | weird I have no indications that my SSD might be bad | 23:51 |
| poco_ | yeah as you can see all my .desktop files are present but the ones without tiny icons next to them are the ones that don't show an icon on the task bar or application manager when they are *not* opened http://i.imgur.com/YKx7vPM.png | 23:52 |
| === perrier-1 is now known as weetest | ||
| binarydepth | tiny icons ? you mean the counts ? | 23:54 |
| poco_ | I'm not familiar with counts | 23:54 |
| binarydepth | Ok I see | 23:54 |
| binarydepth | No my bad | 23:54 |
| binarydepth | Then I see, it has to be that the icons are missing | 23:55 |
| poco_ | but where are the icons coming from when I open the app? haha | 23:56 |
| binarydepth | In the same Archive manager you can browse into the icons folder in the Share folder | 23:56 |
| binarydepth | Yeah, I'm at getting if the package is corrupt | 23:56 |
| binarydepth | poco_ do you have an Unity box ? | 23:58 |
| poco_ | I don't think so? | 23:59 |
| binarydepth | Ok | 23:59 |
| binarydepth | I made some modifications to Unity animations with compizConfig | 23:59 |
| poco_ | oh you mean did I ever have Ubuntu Unity installed? No | 23:59 |
