[00:00] to do query exercises on [00:00] metaresolve: right, but that is not a postfix file [00:00] https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/tutorial-advanced-intro.html [00:00] metaresolve: so something else must put it there [00:00] i don't know what a postfix file is [00:00] Hetachi: okay. So... was ~/test being created? [00:00] beneter, Just did it, a minute has not yet passed [00:01] kk [00:01] ok i need to go play my game for a bit [00:01] I just restarted an OEM install and the screen is blank, any help? Don't really know what's happening [00:01] beneter, does it matter if I do it with root or user account? (I been using my user account for cron editing) [00:02] Hetachi: Not really. Every user has his own crontab. So your file will be crated at /home/<>/test [00:03] Yes it did create it [00:03] Hetachi: If you want root to run your command, you need to run "sudo crontab -e" === eukreign is now known as Guest20796 [00:03] Hetachi: So we made sure, that cron is correctly working [00:04] beneter, yes, so there is something wrong with my command... [00:04] Hetachi: Correct ;-) [00:04] Any suggestion for remapping a bluetooth mouse keys? I used to compiz plugin. Running Gnome Ubuntu [00:04] beneter, if I pasted it to you would you mind taking a look at it? [00:04] Hetachi: Feel free [00:06] 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] beneter, http://pastebin.com/1tMyc5PH [00:06] Hetachi: you can also check /var/mail/ you will probably find the errors in there since cron sends a mail to the user [00:06] beneter, I think the path is not correct [00:07] xangua: Tried booting from grub with ' nomodeset ' ? [00:07] Hetachi: you seem to miss the redirection of your output [00:08] So apparently I had to switch to another terminal Bashing-om , ctrl+alt+1 [00:08] you should remove everything behind "monitor" and add " > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" [00:08] beneter, what do you mean? [00:08] xangua: All good now .. or no GUI ? [00:09] Bashing-om: don't know, is this normal in an OEM install? Xubuntu by the way, new user is already created [00:09] Hetachi: currently you are redirecting the output to /dev/null (at least I think so) [00:09] Hetachi: you should remove everything behind "monitor" and add " > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" [00:10] beneter, oh okay I will try that [00:10] in dconf-editor you can see duplicate entries, i didn't know that was even possible: https://snag.gy/8YmbQ1.jpg [00:10] 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 [00:11] 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 . [00:12] Hetachi: Please try this: "3 * * * * /home/hetachi/gameserver monitor > /home/hetachi/mycron.log 2>&1" [00:12] Bashing-om: it booted to GUI, it just was displaying in f1, not f7 [00:12] First time OEM install [00:12] Weird [00:12] beneter, I set the time to * * * * * so we dont have to wait 3 minutes [00:13] Hetachi: I'm pretty sure you are currently redirecting to /dev/null. And thats why you have no output [00:13] hi [00:13] How do I install xdg-desktop-portal-gtk in Ubuntu 16.04.1 ? [00:14] beneter, I really hope that that is all there is to it :) === Guest74264 is now known as mikeymop [00:15] xangua: Yeah, kinda different . I would expect the GUI on TTY7. mind rebooting and looking at the kernel boot line in grub ? [00:15] beneter, there we go output is working [00:15] 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. [00:16] beneter, /bin/sh: 1: /home/hetachi/gameserver: not found [00:16] Hetachi: Well... Please do ls- a /home/hetachi/gameserver and give me the output [00:17] Hetachi: "ls- a /home/hetachi/gameserver" [00:17] beneter, I mistyped the name sorry it should have been gameservers [00:18] Hetachi: Thought so. Did you set the execute flag? (chmod +x) [00:18] beneter, yes [00:18] Hetachi: Then it should work now ;-) [00:18] beneter, could it have any affect if the user account does not have sudo rights ? [00:19] try running the command with the account outside of cron and check [00:19] Hetachi: Depends on what your application needs to do. [00:19] beneter, not it is working perfectly, this is so weird [00:19] beneter, I did not change too much in the commands [00:19] 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)? [00:20] beneter, it just starts an application which does not require sudo or root access [00:21] Hetachi: Then everything should be alright [00:21] Hetachi: What is bothering you? [00:21] Hetachi: Do you know what "> /dev/null" does? [00:21] beneter, As I understood it sends all output to dev/null right? [00:22] beneter, crontabs have always been quite confusing to me... [00:22] Hetachi: Right! And do you know what "/dev/null" is? [00:22] beneter, no, I have no clue what it is [00:22] Hetachi: Aha :-D [00:23] Hetachi: /dev/null is a "fake-device" which acts like a bin. [00:23] Hetachi: So you were throwing away all your output to void [00:24] beneter, oh, well that explains why I wasn't able to find it [00:24] i'm the previous Guest20796 in case someone has any suggestions [00:24] beneter, I was looking all over internet for where cronjobs store the outputs [00:24] 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 [00:26] Hetachi: Well... the learning curve for unix is quite steep. [00:26] 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 [00:27] Hetachi: Learning by doing... same for me. ;-) [00:28] guys! Need some quick help! [00:29] beneter, once again thank you so much for your help, I really appriciate it, now I can go to sleep with out worrying about it [00:29] I somewhat got conky to work on my desktop, but the icons don't work, the font isn't the one that's supposed to be used, and there are only 5 days xD === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:30] the temps work tho :D [00:31] Hetachi: You are welcome. Good night [00:33] any help? [00:34] Hi Everyone! Just a quick question.. Is there an open source solution that helps in the setup, configuration and management of a mail server? [00:40] GrayGhost13: you could say that every linux distribution performs that role === g2[ATL] is now known as g2 [00:40] GrayGhost13: i'm guessing you're looking for a GUI? [00:40] mukluks: :) that's true.. I was just now reading about iRedMail .. are their others similar to that? [00:41] 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 [00:42] undefined symbols: dav_do_find_liveprop and dav_svn_get_repos_path2 [00:42] Is there no GUI to remap a multi-button bluetooth mouse? [00:42] 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 [00:43] Deeewayne: Config files differ in systemd from what upstart in 14.04 was : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers might help . [00:44] GrayGhost13: i would recommend WebMin [00:44] mukluks: why? Is it better than iredmail? [00:45] GrayGhost13: i don't know iredmail, but i do know webmin [00:45] mukluks: I'm looking to do a mail server, with no domains being serviced on the server [00:46] mukluks: i'm looking at it now, it's interesting [00:46] GrayGhost13: that's fine, but if you use webmin you will have some flexibility in case your requirements change in the futute [00:46] Bashing-om, thanks, but after briefly looking at that I'm not sure its applicable to this particular issue. [00:47] mukluks: that's interestin.. that might be useful on something else.. [00:48] hello [00:50] 6:49 PM Another little issue, the images icon won't show in thunar places sidebar [00:52] xangua, seriously crossposting? [00:55] Kali_Yuga: helloooo [00:55] is it me you're looking for? [00:57] I guess I found my apache/subversion problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/subversion/+bug/1639809 [00:58] Launchpad bug 1639809 in subversion (Ubuntu) "Problem with Apache & Subversion versions in Trusty" [Undecided,Confirmed] [01:06] Deeewayne: :( .... " Apparently Apache version was too recent, and not compatible with the 1.8.8 " ; RE-install of apache ? [01:10] Bashing-om, yeah, looks like the fix [01:11] Not sure how I should proceed. I've been migrating to Git, but would have preferred to leave my subversion repos in subversion [01:12] 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 [01:13] so, for me, it might be reasonable to try to wait for that issue to be fixed and if needed, migrate stuff to git [01:15] 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] Deeewayne: Not me, no excperience here , but surely others here have had this issue and can advise on their solution . [01:17] 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] (doh) [01:18] wiggmpk: did you already "pair" bluetooth devices? yes or no [01:18] tatertots: yes, it is a bluetooth mouse, with a lot of buttons =P [01:18] tatertots: basic functionality works, mouse click 1/2, scrolling and wheel press, back/forward buttons [01:24] Hi guys [01:28] I'm configuring cron for doing regular updates to a local database used by a team. Which crontab should I use? [01:29] energizer: depends [01:29] mukluks: how so [01:29] energizer: you could use the crontab for the user created to run the database, if a user has been created [01:29] eg. mysql user [01:30] this way if you ever remove mysql from the system the crontab will probably be removed at the same time [01:30] wiggmpk: ok so basic mouse functionality works fine? [01:30] tatertots: yes [01:31] 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] 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 [01:34] Andrew_: did you check dmesg or system messages for any errors or warnings? [01:36] mukluks: sudo su mongodb fails but mongodb is listed in /etc/passwd [01:36] n4n0: I checked .xsessionerrors and I saw: "upstart: unity7 pre-start process terminated with status 127" [01:36] energizer: the shell is probably set to /bin/false, which is good [01:37] you don't need that user to have shell to edit their crontab [01:38] mukluks: is that the right user to use [01:38] or perhaps make a new one with the project name [01:40] energizer: well as i said, it depends... just please don't put the database password in the crontab [01:40] 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 [01:41] Andrew_: did you try guest user? Does unity work there? [01:42] n4n0`: i have tried those commands from recovery mode, but it is unable to connect to the network [01:43] xangua: unity is also broken in guest mode [01:43] 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? [01:44] I think that if I could get a terminal open in non recovery mode, I could fix this [01:46] 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? [01:47] 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] Andrew_: At the login screen - ctl+alt+F1 should give you a console interface where you can log into the system , [01:50] nvm i just configured it in compiz config [01:50] 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] 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 [01:51] Bashing-om: I just tried doing ctrl-alt-f1 from login screen, and I still only see half of the top line [01:52] I had a similar problem but it was related to proprietary video/graphics drivers. I don't see that being true in this scenario. === cuddle is now known as pjamma [01:54] 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? [01:55] wiggmpk: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_buttons [01:56] 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" [01:57] So [01:57] how do you guys sync your gmail to your desktop? === pjamma is now known as cuddle [01:57] n4n0`: let me restart and try that [01:57] Andrew_: That terminal shortcut is confirmed for 16.04 > [01:57] bear_: uh, i have it set up on alpine [01:58] Andrew_: kk. [01:58] bear_: it doesn't sync as much as it reads directly from the server [01:58] n4n0`: I remember looking for something like that, but not finding it [01:58] tatertots: I'll take a look at it, thanks [02:00] . [02:00] 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. [02:01] 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] HiddenDjinn, that's syncing. [02:01] n4n0`: much thanks [02:01] Andrew_: no problem, what a strange issue. Take care, lol. [02:02] bear_: uh, no...syncing is something slightly different [02:03] bear_: alpine doesn't save it to the local machine [02:03] HiddenDjinn, Syncing doesn't mean you have to save it to non volatile storage [02:06] 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] HiddenDjinn, then you never read it. [02:07] once you read it it's in memory on your machine and now in sync with your imap server [02:07] bear_: i don't think it means what you think it means [02:07] it does [02:11] my laptop don't see my memory flash [02:12] I run the command lsusb and i can see but don't mount in nautilus [02:20] I do an "lsusb" in console and the result is the one you see below. I see that it recognizes the pendrive (Verbatim), but I do not see it as an available drive and can not access its contents. [02:22] dayron: `dmesg | grep "Verbatim"` [02:24] dayron: If the flash drive isn't mounted or formatted correctly you may not see it in your file manager. Use parted or gparted (user-friendly) for managing disks/partitions but I advise you to do some reading on Google first. [02:26] dayron: Some other commands for viewing disk information -- "df -h" and "fdisk -l", use caution when executing fdisk however.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [03:53] Look at that [04:06] Can I manage rhythmbox remotely? And install the means to do so without moving? [04:06] So, like, I'm in bed with my laptop because it is sunday [04:06] I have shell access to my desktop [04:06] bobdobbs, vnc [04:07] I want to control rhythbox without have to move [04:07] cfhowlett: ta. [04:07] bobdobbs, ssh or vnc to the machine. [04:09] apt install x11vnc [04:10] mukluks: doing that now :) [04:11] my mission for the rest of sunday is to stay in bed [04:11] except maybe for food [04:11] and poop [04:11] that's cheating [04:11] * bobdobbs nods [04:11] so, x11vnc is a server? And I'll need a client on my lappy? [04:14] remmina should work for a client, I think it's installed by default [04:15] bobdobbs: yup, i use xtightvncviewer [04:15] Hi [04:15] I just install vinagre, cos it was easy [04:15] bobdobbs: just ssh in to server, start x11vnc, wait a few seconds, connect from client, done [04:16] mukluks: k [04:17] I think I'm connected! [04:18] bonus points for using pm-suspend on server when you're fininshed and using wakeonlan when you want to use it again [04:18] YUS! connected! [04:19] 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] yay! [04:19] \0/ [04:20] now... how do I get rhythmbox to bring me my poop bucket? [04:20] bobdobbs, family friendly channel and off-topic. enough. [04:20] cfhowlett: sorry [04:20] thanks all! [04:24] hello everybody [04:31] 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] **ISO on a USB drive** [04:31] !install | Raulwynn [04:31] 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 [04:32] It's not ubuntu... it's another ISO [04:32] we only support ubuntu here. ask the other OS for support [04:32] What? I am using ubuntu software. [04:32] Raulwynn, which iso do you want to put in your usb/disk/whatever? [04:32] but you are not trying to boot ubuntu. y [04:33] xubuntu core [04:33] OK for the record; xubuntu is an official ubuntu flavor so it IS supported here. [04:34] also see the install options link I sent earlier. the method is there [04:34] ignacio, xubuntu core [04:34] have you tried usb-creator-gtk /or idk the name/ [04:36] ignacio, I have tried to get a few unetbootin, gmounted [04:36] 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] ignacio, I have closed my terminal since that. [04:36] wanna hear a story?, It took me 3 hours to put a ubuntu iso in a usb from fedora [04:37] ignacio, I'm trying to change from xubuntu to the core. I keep have gnome and sdk? I think popping up [04:37] It's been a day long process. [04:37] you will need to install those I guess [04:38] ignacio, set bs=100M to avoid that, the default is bs=512 which means the data are transferred 512 *bytes* a time [04:38] no, 3 hours because I couldn't make the usb bootable [04:38] used dd and everything [04:39] That's where I'm at. [04:39] I can't get the dd to run it just closes on me. [04:39] ignacio: did you remember to use the sync command after you used dd? [04:39] 3 times :D [04:40] check the hash? [04:40] hello [04:40] after getting tired of using dd, I did this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23802350/ [04:40] Hello Santos [04:40] hi santos177 and TRUMP_ [04:40] we are from chile... [04:40] Good night of coding for everyone! [04:41] hola :) [04:41] we are coding in the south of the world [04:41] hola ignacio [04:41] I'm from Uruguay [04:42] sleep it's better :P [04:42] sleep is better when you're on holydays [04:43] ajajaj [04:43] santos177: hahaha =P for me it's always holyday :P [04:44] you are the boss dude [04:44] win32 [04:44] TRUMP_: =P [04:44] santos177: am not boss :D [04:44] Byee!! [04:45] bye everybody [04:45] have fun [04:57] When using dd to iso to a USB do I /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? [04:58] sda [04:58] ty [05:01] dd if=/home/user/Downloads/mini.iso | pv | of=/dev/sdf Is something wrong? I'm running in root [05:02] why running in root? and i'd put bs=1M in the output [05:02] oh and you're missing dd in the output [05:02] thats what. === ibm is now known as Guest96472 [05:02] This whole time.. Sigh [05:02] you couldn't tell from the error? [05:02] It doesn't give an error [05:03] just shows zero cancels out and prompt for next command [05:03] writing zero bytes and exiting is an error [05:03] i missed the second set of dd [05:03] this whole (bad word) time. [05:05] last time when I downloaded & installed ubuntu 16.10 there was so much bugs. Is this safe to install it again?
