[00:00] ls -l ~/vpn/server1client/ca.crt shows that it exists [00:00] eelstrebor: welcome back, check your profile for the VPN and make sure the key and cert files are defined by the "true path" because.... ok this has to be a path issue, do the file paths in the profile file match the filesystem ? [00:00] eelstrebor: run as which user? [00:00] COSL04X, yes, the profile shows the absolute path to the file [00:01] hey, im getting random CPU hangs, where 1 kernel thread / cpu core is hung, and it locks up the whole system and needs a hard reset . I believe its related to this bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109081. I dont know how to actually verify if its a CPU bug, but it has happened on 3 different debian based distros. [00:01] bugzilla.kernel.org bug 109081 in intel_idle "boot hang unless intel_idle.max_cstate=7 - Intel i7 6700HQ (Skylake-H)," [Blocking,Closed: code_fix] [00:01] im running ubuntu 16.06, all updated btw [00:02] COSL04X, the read/write/execute permissions and ownership are the same as the other 2 pc's so it be working properly [00:02] Is there an easy way to get a version of OpenSSH with Kerberos support compiled in? I'm running 16.10 and it isn't built with it [00:03] eelstrebor: the nm-openvpn error message suggests that the process returning the error message did not expand the ~ character. you will need to provide an absolute path, or ensure that it can be expanded during runtime. [00:03] eelstrebor: put the full "complete path" dont shortcut env to home if its try to execute as a nobody user [00:03] -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1757 Apr 15 2016 network-manager [00:03] eelstrebor: dont use "~/..." use FULL PATH [00:04] tomreyn, the profile doesn't use the ~ , it shows the absolute path [00:04] eelstrebor: it has to be coming from somewhere... [00:04] Never mind, not completely sure that is the issue [00:05] elisax2e2: have you tried with microcode updates? [00:05] tomreyn, i cannot find them [00:05] tomreyn, the syslog shows the full path but the message says no such file or directory even though it does exist [00:05] elisax2e2: here they're offered as part of proprietary drivers [00:05] tomreyn, i read that it was solved via a BIOS update, but my laptop manufacturer doesnt have any update [00:06] hello [00:06] elisax2e2: so try microcodes [00:07] where, how? [00:07] My Ferret says Hi !!

[00:14] tomreyn, yes it's an encrypted home directory, but so is the directory on another pc that's working ok [00:14] copying files to a shared folder on my Windows Server goes at ~65MB/sec, while copying files FROM the server to Ubuntu is about 22-23Kb/s. Any idea why that is? [00:15] any1 here has XP with razer blade stealth? [00:15] what is that? [00:15] razer's laptop [00:15] anyways [00:16] i installed 16.04 and 16.10 but whenever i press caps lock screen tears and laptop crashes (can't report with any info due to that) [00:16] any idea about it? [00:17] sounds like a hardware / firmware / *maybe* driver issue. [00:18] updated everything that i could [00:18] probabbly hardware [00:19] eelstrebor: here's how i'm thinking: by the time the openvpn process spawns and tries to read the key file, your user is not yet logged in, and thus your home directory is not yet unlocked, and so the file is not available at this time. later on, when you login, sure then the file is readily available. [00:19] tomreyn, ok, i'll move the files outside of the encrypted directory and see what happens === Jalen_ is now known as Jalen [00:20] Deathstr0ke: have you tried a bios upgrade? different bios settings? maybe try with a different OS, too, to see whether it runs stable there. [00:20] Deathstr0ke: also do a memory + cpuburn test [00:20] tried with mint too, same issue [00:21] Hello, I have a server at my remote office that is running ubuntu 16, Is there a way to revert it to its fresh install state via ssh? [00:21] and i updated bios and kernels, fixed everything else that it was fixable [00:22] Deathstr0ke: maybe ask in ##hardware too, they might have heard of this symptom before, or have better suggestions on narrowing it down further. [00:22] Deathstr0ke: by different OS, i meant non-linux, so openbsd or windows or something. [00:23] windows is working perfectly === binaryc is now known as list === list is now known as binaryc [00:24] Deathstr0ke: check your /var/log/dmesg.log.1 (assuming the previous shutdown was unclean) [00:24] Is this even possible? [00:25] will install it again and check it [00:25] will get back with it later [00:25] SaintMoriarty: you can try to clean it up manually, or reinstall all packages, or try to remove all packages but the abolute minimum. but all of this won't get close to a reinstall. [00:27] tomreyn, that solved the problem - thanks [00:29] * eelstrebor will have to try to remember this in case someone else has this issue [00:29] eelstrebor: glad you are all set, have to make a mental note on that one [00:30] tomreyn: +1 [00:30] welcome [00:33] eelstrebor: somehow I missed the statement about "at login" I thought you were trying to auto connect when choosing a interface profile to load [00:36] hi, it looks like my sound card ordering changed.

That might work. [00:45] well I haven't done any changes, I'm manipulating aplay by setting an environment variable [00:46] I figured out that it's a pulseaudio problem, killing it and taking away its execute permission so it can't run and then setting ALSA_CARD=PCH seems to work [00:47] I can set that for all login users, but I'm sure there's a better way?

And my secondary hdd is set as 'Automatically mount' (in mount options in Discs) anyway, it doesnt show up automatically in conky unless i go into the file browser and manually click on it first, then run conky. Im thinking i need to turn automatic mount off and set mount options to 'Mount at startup', but i dont know what to set as Mount point or identify as. assistance? :) [01:35] deus402: what kind of system ? [01:36] Necy: can you show what your current conky config is like ? [01:36] COSL04X: like what hardware?

[01:59] deus402: yes in the software architecture perspective it is a server for thos clients [01:59] deus402: fair ;) [02:00] so i'm looking at the link that eht posted, i don't think i'm seeing anything out of the ordinary, but i also barely know what i'm doing with netstat [02:01] using the command: netstat -nta | egrep "State|8181" [02:01] deus402: it's late here, i'll head to bed. you should inspect the connections / the traffic (maybe log some, or just use netstat to get an idea of whats going on) and finod out whether there's some attack going on or whether the traffci si legitimate. and maybe follow that redhat documentation, it seems sound to me. [02:01] here is what i get: http://pastebin.com/PMt8TBKF [02:02] without having to read how to use netstat for an hour, is there a way to have it show all ports instead of just 8181? === jeremy is now known as Guest80348 [02:03] just netstat -nta i assume? [02:03] sure you just omit the |8181 [02:03] i.e. dont filter out just those ports [02:04] http://pastebin.com/craJh0J6 [02:04] what you put on pastebin is not a relevant amount of connections [02:05] neither [02:05] at this stage there wont be any issue, i guess. so there can be some burts of traffic which cause it. [02:06] you could tcpdump it for a while [02:06] since it reconnected, i don't have any users connected right now either. [02:06] ...so that you can get a better idea of what this traffic is, and whether it's legitimate [02:07] it's used as a plex media server, up to 9 users streaming at once. === Majesticles is now known as RaptorJesus [02:08] deus402, gimme credentials it will be up to 10 users ;P [02:08] deus402: do you have a firewall between this system and the internet?

I had been planning on backing up today, was hoping it'd make it this long. FSCK won't do it, and after unlocking it with udisksctl, the only thing I can mount is Ext2 fs partition 1. I'd really appreciate some help, thanks. [03:46] I can't mount sdc2 or sdc5, and the luks-... file created in /dev/mapper/ is apparently not a mountable filesystem. [03:47] It seems almost as if I have a bad superblock, but I can't seem to restore it. [03:48] Can anyone tell me, i just got a older computer, gonna be putting ubuntu 16.10 onto it, linksys model: wmp54gs which ubuntu does not pick up, at time of install.. is there any work arounds, or drivers i can use for this? [03:48] SchrodingersScat: Hope I get the right answer you were wanting - I'm trying to install a web application locally (php), which involves creating a mysql db. The person in the only instruction I can find for this issues the following command as root in a terminal: "mysql db_name < db_schema_file_name.mysql" <--- that doesn't work. Also, since so much is skipped (that I'm expected to know)... [03:48] ...I'm not confident I've created the db correctly so far either, or that mysql itself is set up right (all I have is a root acct right now - I think). [03:48] sorry so long [03:49] So what the guy in the instruction is generally trying to do (I think) is create the db for the application and load "schema" into it (whatever that is). [03:51] Kurt_: are you using that computer right now? yes or no [03:52] tatertots: its sat right by me right now. [03:52] countingdaisies: right, that seems like a bad example afaik [03:53] Kurt_: do you have it hardwired to the network with ethernet cable? [03:54] tatertots: no but i can share my internet from this computer via ethernet cable. [03:55] countingdaisies: If you're trying to dump a file into mysql then yes you still need to create the database first and give the users proper permissions [03:56] Kurt_: connect to the network and join chat from the computer in question [03:57] why would he need to do that? [03:59] SchrodingersScat: Could you look at: https://github.com/ivuk/eramba-vagrant/blob/master/eramba_deploy.sh and tell me if its a reliable example to go off of (is complete and accurate in all the steps / commands that need to occur)? I'd like to copy paste from it as much as I can (if that would be useful to do)? [03:59] SchrodingersScat: At least I could know if its worth going off of cause it contains a lot more detail than the only vid I can find to instruct it [04:02] countingdaisies: and you have /var/www/html/eramba_v2/app/Config/db_schema/default_mysql_schema_211.sql ? [04:03] Kurt_, looks like that has a broadcom 4306 chipset and will likly have a driver tutorial somewhere online [04:04] mine is: /var/www/html/eramba/app and it is extracted. and I did some kind of set debugging in a "app/Config/core.php" That's how fare I made it. Then I did some kind of thing with an apache config file think I set hostename to localhost. [04:05] SchrodingersScat: eh?

If you mean "make a bootable live usb" then follow ben64 advice [04:34] ok i ran from command [04:34] says another instance is running [04:34] sting32, did you try: sudo killall boinc?

[05:39] So uh... guys [05:39] ok so wine... how hard is it to reset the mouse's kilter? like when i click its about 50 pixels to the north and 50 to the east? [05:39] I downloaded Ubuntu [05:40] And I got it on my USB using Rufus USB installer [05:40] But how do I actually run it? [05:40] http://prntscr.com/dyql5t [05:40] http://prntscr.com/dyqlc8 [05:40] What shall I do...? [05:41] Here: https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows it said when it's finished just restart, but I restarted and nothing happened. === Necy is now known as Nectar [05:42] The_DarkKnight, Is your BIOS be able to boot to USB? [05:42] idk so i guess not? [05:42] most modern bioses can boot from usb sticks [05:42] These were the exact same settings while using Rufus: https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/febc3c7b-download-desktop-usb-windows-7.jpg [05:43] The_DarkKnight, then Restart, go to BIOS Boot menu, then click on (USB-HDD, USB-RMD-FDD, or similar.) to boot from USB. [05:43] Oh. [05:46] Ok so I don't want to get stuck with Ubuntu [05:47] So when I do get it running in USB mode [05:47] And I restart the PC, will it automatically run Windows then? [05:47] yes [05:47] 100%? [05:47] yes :) [05:47] Can someone else confirm? [05:47] Unless you join the Linux shadow league [05:48] Windows will run unless you choose to boot from usb again. [05:48] The_DarkKnight, Everytime the PC restarts, the BIOS will boot from first place like when you put HDD in 1st place, then if you reboot, it will 100% boot Windows because BIOS is always using the 1st place of boot drive. [05:48] https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013017/ this is what I'm doing [05:49] It's going to disable Secure Boot Control [05:49] That's irrelevant? [05:49] The_DarkKnight, Secure Boot is for UEFI. Are you running UEFI or BIOS? [05:49] Disabling Secure Boot allows the computer to boot other operating systems like linux, bsd, etc. [05:49] iirc [05:50] The_DarkKnight, and disabling Secure Boot allows ALL of the OS to boot. [05:50] xXEoflaOEXx: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013015/ [05:50] k I'm going ahead with it [05:50] YOLO, right? [05:50] heh [05:51] RIGHT?! [05:51] Ubuntu can boot fine with secure boot The_DarkKnight , you just need to disable Windows fast boot [05:51] Hello where can I find options to disable bluetooth in linux kernel configuration menu? [05:52] xangua: How does fast boot affect Ubuntu booting from a flash drive? [05:52] xangua: I'm just gonna disable secure boot [05:52] And follow the instructions [05:52] Cowdung: you mean disable the Bluetooth module or like you want to configure and compile a kernel without Bluetooth support? [05:52] The_DarkKnight, BIOS, so enable CSM, then Disable Secure Boot, then go to Save and Exit, and go to Boot Override, then go to Generic USB Flash Disk (your flash's name). [05:52] The Secure Boot Option is on Security tab. [05:52] BTW, when I restart the PC, will secure boot be re-enabled or will I have to manually reset everything back again to run Windows? [05:52] xangua: I want to configure and compile a kernel without bluetooth [05:53] Yea I got that. [05:53] munchkin24: oh you're right, it doesn't, just won't show Windows partition if you try to install Ubuntu I think [05:53] ^^ [05:53] BTW, when I restart the PC, will secure boot be re-enabled or will I have to manually reset everything back again to run Windows? [05:53] The_DarkKnight, just remove the usb stick when you reboot and the BIOS will boot from the hard drive. [05:54] k [05:54] loading windows [05:54] I have been looking for this option but can't find it. Under which category I can find it? [05:54] The_DarkKnight: you have to enable it back, but Ubuntu can boot with secure boot [05:55] oh [05:55] k [05:55] The_DarkKnight, If you save it to CMOS, then it will be saved permanently until you change it back. [05:59] hopefully that wasn't a bad sign for that dude/aspiring hacker [06:01] hii [06:01] Hi kaleem [06:03] I'm trying to ssh into my beaglebone from ubuntu 16 and I got this warning saying "Warning: Remote Host Identification has changed" followed by a long paragraph ending with host key verification failed. I was told that the fix to this is ssh-keygen -R hostname. Therefore replaced hostname with my real hostname shandora but it says shanedora not found??? [06:05] Yeah so [06:05] There was no Launch CSM option [06:06] There was no Boot override in save and exit [06:06] It was literally nothing like the pictures here: https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1013015/ [06:06] Is there no way to run it from like an ISO mounting program or some shit? [06:07] Sure, you could run it in a VM like virtualbox. [06:07] Would that even be useful [06:07] Why didn't the BIOS work tho? [06:08] I assume a version difference between your BIOS and the one in the pictures. === hal is now known as Guest42172 [06:19] yo all i heard the kewl kids play here [06:19] there is no syntax highlight for bash script in vim ?

[06:48] The_DarkKnight: best to ask your real issue to the channel mate [06:49] I just want to know if it's possible tbh [06:49] !dualboot | The_DarkKnight yes [06:49] The_DarkKnight yes: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [06:49] Ok one more question [06:49] When using a VM you allocate RAM to it [06:50] !uefi > The_DarkKnight read also this before you proceed [06:50] The_DarkKnight, please see my private message [06:50] Can I still use that RAM with the rest of my computer(which is Windows) [06:50] or is it only marked for Ubuntu use only? [06:51] usually it's assigned lazily, i.e. if the VM isn't using it, it's free for use by whatever [06:51] virtualbox does it that way for example, i think vmware's windows product does too [06:51] ^ [06:51] And it's easily reallocated back, right? [06:51] No issues with that? [06:51] this has been a disaster. xinput set-prop tends to not have any effect despite list-props reflecting the changes, except under specific and nonsensical conditions. 16.04 install media won't even boot on newer Radeons without manually editing the kernel commandline to add nomodeset, and then you have to do the same with the installed system, which obviously prevents the graphics driver from working [06:52] (which is WHY you have to do it), and then you have to manually update the system even though the installer supposedly updated it already. And there's this issue with games on the Unity engine not reading the mouse properly, which has been difficult to debug due to xinput set-prop not working consistently [06:52] The_DarkKnight: indeed. you'd only have issues if (in use by VM guest) + (in use by VM host) > amount of RAM [06:52] The_DarkKnight: where "issues" = stuff ends up in swap so slowness [06:52] Hm, k [06:52] Thanks. [06:53] running things in Wine has been largely a bust, but I expected that. I didn't expect to have problems with something so simple as mouse input. [06:54] roothorick: your talking about a clean install on 16.04.1? what kind of graphics card specificly? [06:55] well, days old, there have been some modifications, but the mouse problem has been there since day 1 [06:55] RX 480 [06:55] does anyone know of which os is this web browser? https://s23.postimg.org/9l7lro1az/www.jpg [06:55] roothorick: is that the radeon driver or amd-gpu? [06:55] amdgpu [06:55] Well, just allocated 6 GB of RAM to VM. Hope it goes smoothly. [06:55] Nick-chx, webbrowser is NOT an OS. [06:56] oh, yeah, the HWE kernel adds support for Polaris. But it needs Mesa support to. There's no HWE version of Mesa in the Ubuntu repository. So you have to resort to a PPA or installing the new "amdgpu pro" half-proprietary driver to get hardware acceleration in any shape or form [06:57] roothorick: have you tested other ubuntu version on your card? like 16.10? or higher kernels? [06:57] lotuspsychje: I installed amdgpu pro, that much is working. I have my mouse at a point where it does what it's supposed to do ONLY under gnome-shell and ONLY when it's not grabbed by a game [06:58] and I forgot about my soundcard. Only one output works, the front panel. Nothing on the back produces any sound at all. [06:58] roothorick: i think this might be worth a new bug [06:58] hello [06:58] I have no idea if I can get a mic input at all. Haven't tried. Don't have much faith. [06:58] ç does anyone know of which os is this web browser ? https://s23.postimg.org/9l7lro1az/www.jpg ç [06:59] hello [06:59] so my current impression: Linux? Games? Only for VERY highly technical people experienced with Linux that ALSO have lots of time on their hands [07:00] Nick-hxc, yes we see you. there is no indication anywhere in that pick to identify the browser [07:00] roothorick: you can only speak of your specific case mate [07:00] +1 [07:00] roothorick: we have succesfull ubuntu gaming stories [07:01] roothorick: can this help in any way? http://askubuntu.com/questions/841742/amd-rx-480-on-16-04-mesa [07:01] I already said, the videocard is functional [07:01] you have to jump through some serious hoops to get there, but you can get the system booted in a broken amdgpu driver, then from there install amdgpu pro and it comes up [07:02] roothorick: time for deeper logs digging on xinput then? [07:02] roothorick: i would start a new bug in your case, describing your full story...amdgpu issues are hot, you would help the community [07:03] alright, the specific issue... xinput set-prop "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" only has an effect when in a GNOME session, and even then not consistently, I generally have to disable and re-enable the mouse [07:03] !bug | roothorick [07:03] roothorick: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [07:03] if I'm in openbox instead, it does nothing. Ever. Even though the property listed in list-props changes fine. [07:04] this is a 12kdpi mouse, the regular slider doesn't cut it [07:04] which, I don't think that actually works either === zaphod is now known as Guest81386 [07:05] roothorick: it also might be interesting to join #gamingonlinux to find likewise users on your specific card [07:06] ...let me check what the install media actually was [07:06] it may have actually been just 16.04 [07:07] roothorick: yeah, its very recommended to start from 16.04.1 media [07:07] solved alot of pain [07:07] how would I do that [07:07] roothorick: download the latest iso [07:07] no I mean [07:07] find out what install media was used to install the OS [07:07] apport knows, so it's stored somewhere [07:08] roothorick: whats your lsb_release -a and uname -a right now?

[07:11] it wouldn't even boot without nomodeset [07:11] roothorick: this fact already deserves a new bug mate [07:11] but, again, it may not have actually been .1 [07:11] roothorick: can you try again with the .1? also .2 comes out soon also [07:12] I've got enough on my plate, I think [07:12] for anyone that wants to see the race tonight without any spoilers. http://offroadvideos.org/ama-supercross-round-3-anaheim-2-2017/ [07:12] roothorick: try grep cdrom /etc/apt/sources.list [07:12] enjoy :) [07:12] aha [07:12] it was .1 then [07:13] wyseguy: use #ubuntu-offtopic for that mate [07:13] lotuspsychje ah, sorry [07:13] you got it :) [07:13] how would I report that then? ubuntu-bug doesn't make sense since, well, it's a live environment that won't boot, we're not even getting that far [07:14] roothorick: you have a launchpad account? then start ubuntu-bug yourpackage from terminal [07:14] since I'm on a totally different system than the affected, that wouldn't make sense, would it?

[07:16] roothorick: not sure in your case where it comes from, perhaps xinput if its mouse issue? [07:16] I don't even know if that's a bug [07:16] I thought you were talking about the live environment no boot [07:19] roothorick: not sure where it comes from either, perhaps use xinput as package, then tell your complete story, let the devs find out [07:20] wait [07:20] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs [07:21] You should not file a bug if you are: ...

I'm rendering a video with kdenlive and I want to be able to render for Youtube. Does anyone know where I can install the youtube render profiles? [07:22] Vysty, what final output do you want? mp4 I assume [07:22] Probably. Whatever works best on YT. [07:23] do a short and test if YT re-renders it. pretty sure KDEN has a YT output option [07:24] It used to. I got a new computer and suddenly I don't have it anymore. [07:24] "it"? [07:24] Kdenlive [07:24] then you are not presently using KDEN to render so ... confused [07:25] Internet search has suggested I can go to Settings --> Install New Render Profiles, but I get an error when I try that. [07:25] Vysty, do you have kdenlive on your present computer? [07:25] Yes. [07:25] anyone familiar with dirtycow & LG? [07:25] I have the video finished, ready to render. I went to render it and couldn't find the YT option. [07:26] Hi [07:26] hey, so I'm trying to run something as a certain user... with sudo -u I get this [07:26] Vysty, got it. try a simple one: mp4, 30 fps and choose a size. [07:26] darkseid4nk: ask your real issue to the channel [07:26] cfhowlett: Giving it a shot. [07:26] error: cannot read config file: open /root/.config/lxc/config.yml: permission denied [07:27] lotuspsychje: I was hesitant because this is an ubuntu support channel not android. -_- [07:27] Ungh... so many options and I don't know what it all means. [07:27] darkseid4nk: if your device is android, ask in the android channel mate [07:27] it's LXD, it should generate a new certificate under that user and work as long as they are in the LXD group [07:27] but it's still trying to get to /root [07:28] even with the sudo -u [07:28] which is throwing it [07:28] any ideas? [07:28] Vysty: h264 is the best video codec usually [07:29] EriC^^: AAC fast, High Profile (CBR), or HEVC? [07:29] that's for the sound, i think aac fast is alright [07:29] probably cbr is better quality [07:29] try them out with a sample of your video and see what you like best [07:30] lotuspsychje: cant. im registered and identified. Forwarded to android-unregistered which isnt a support channel. -_- #fml [07:30] Vysty, I think YT likes 720 at 25 fps [07:31] Blargh, this was so much easier when there was simply a YT rendering option. [07:31] Vysty, also: kdenlive offers support in their wikis, mailing list and forums. [07:31] darkseid4nk: then ask in #freenode why you can't join [07:31] cfhowlett: Yea I came in here because it's something I want to upload tonight. [07:31] I sent that... I remembered something else, I'm gonna try [07:32] Vysty, ubuntu support doesn't mean kdenlive support, but we'll do what we can - this time. [07:32] cfhowlett: I know. But there's always someone in here and it's worth a shot. [07:32] roothorick: feel free to share your new bug to channel also [07:32] Vysty: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171 [07:33] and https://support.google.com/youtube/troubleshooter/2888402?hl=en [07:33] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1658408 [07:33] Launchpad bug 1658408 in xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) "XInput property "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" applied inconsistently, if at all" [Undecided,New] [07:33] Vysty, oh hey! #kdenlive is a thing!

[07:34] Vysty: check the first link, it has all the info [07:34] EriC^^: Yea I'm trying to get my render profile to fit what's in that link. [07:35] roothorick: lookin good mate! [07:35] EriC^^: Apparently Audio code AAC-LC isn't an option I have. [07:35] it's probably the same as AAC-fast [07:36] Vysty: let me check a video i had uploaded to youtube once for it's settings [07:38] I'm trying a hwdb tweak, let's reboot this guy [07:38] Vysty: this worked well http://imgur.com/a/niVUr [07:38] Vysty get it close. if need be YT will transcode it to match exact settings [07:39] roothorick: perhaps also mention the amdgpu driver story [07:39] EriC^^: I don't see on my Render options where I can click to get the settings the same as you. [07:40] Vysty, so make a custom render config [07:40] blargh [07:40] Alrighty. [07:40] fwiw i had made the video with adobe premiere's youtube profile thingy [07:40] I want a youtube profile thingy! [07:40] that's all I want! [07:40] lol [07:41] There used to be one! [07:41] I want it back! [07:41] i've seen it in openshot [07:41] talk to kdenlive [07:41] confirmed: openshot has a number of YT profiles [07:42] cfhowlett: How do I get them in the appropiate place? [07:42] appropriate* [07:43] render > show all renders > add see the + sign? [07:43] cfhowlett: I don't see "Show all renders". [07:44] Show all profiles [07:44] There we go. [07:45] sorry my mistake ... [07:45] Alright, so... I stick in the parameters from the above link? [07:45] yep [07:46] yeah, except for the resolution and framerate [07:46] use what your original video had [07:47] My original video? [07:47] How do I install a windows partition after I have installed ubuntu? [07:47] You mean stuff I put on before? [07:47] That was on my old computer. :/ [07:47] amazonian_toad, every dualboot tutorial will tell: install windows FIRST for sanity [07:47] Vysty: no i mean the resolution and framerate that the camera was using to capture stuff [07:47] When I'm typing in these parameters, I literally just type framerate=25 ? [07:47] cfhowlett, so you mean I'm kinda screwed? [07:48] or dimensions=1920x1080? [07:48] amazonian_toad, depends how much you value your sanity. back up your ubuntu data, install windows, reinstall ubuntu, restore data. done [07:48] cfhowlett, what if I install windows on an external hd? [07:48] Vysty: i think so [07:49] possible, never done myself, amazonian_toad [07:49] Fuck it. I'm just doing AAC fast and keeping whatever it says. [07:49] I'm going to second-guess myself to oblivion. [07:49] hi [07:53] hey [07:53] I am trying to use 7zip binary [07:53] I run install sh to copy libs to local [07:54] so the RIGHT way to do what I really wanted to do is make an InputClass in xorg.conf(.d) to apply the Resolution option to the mouse [07:54] when I execute 7zip nothing happen [07:54] any ideas how to debug it? [07:54] libinput has a more direct way of handling this, but who uses a mouse outside X anyway [08:00] so, Unity games still have the "lopsided mouse" problem [08:07] hehehe: uh..any reason you need to use the installer? [08:07] tatertots: I simply want to use 7zip [08:07] but bin wont start [08:08] hehehe: you do realize it's available in the official ubuntu repositories, making it easy to find and install if not already installed. Any reason why you're insistent on doing it the hard way? [08:08] tatertots: I am using 14.04 [08:09] when I run apt-get install 7zip nothing happen [08:10] hehehe: in terminal> apt-cache search 7zip|nc termbin.com 9999 [08:10] hehehe: press enter [08:10] hehehe: share link/url here [08:10] done [08:10] Use netcat. [08:11] hehehe: in terminal> apt-cache search 7zip [08:12] hehehe: sudo apt install pastebinit [08:12] hehehe: the package is called p7zip-full [08:12] p7zip-full is already the newest version [08:12] hehehe: then read the man page [08:12] dont it have gui interface? [08:12] hehehe: then you should already have it. [08:12] 7zip [08:13] lol [08:14] no? [08:14] I have this convoluted setup working: https://amc.ovh/2015/08/15/uniting-encrypted-encfs-filesystems.html but i'm giving myself a bit of a headache trying to understand how to do some more complex things with it. [08:15] the moral of the story is that i would like deleting a file/folder from the unionfs-fuse mount to delete the file from all branches, instead of adding it to the blacklist. [08:17] every option i have seen for a unionfs-fuse setup lists a rw branch and a ro branch, is there any reason to not just make both branches rw? and if so is there a specific way to designate which branch is the top level branch? [08:20] Hello, I have a laptop lenovo g50-80, please let me prepotachate Linux distribution on which the wifi to work [08:21] ubuntu181: the wifi works out of the box on ubuntu [08:21] ubuntu181, help ... what? [08:22] lol [08:22] wth [08:22] Bom dia. [08:25] I installed ubuntu but Wi Fi not working properly disappears and you must restart laptop [08:27] tatertots: ok had to use command line, works now [08:27] :D [08:28] hmm ERROR: Unknown error -2147024891 [08:28] wtf :D [08:28] anyway to check archive health? [08:32] alright, so it looks like, games that "lock" the cursor (i.e. for first person camera) don't register small mouse movements correctly, and the issue probably is the obscene resolution on my mouse causing rounding errors [08:32] where do I even begin on that one [08:34] tatertots: thing is I can extract individual files but when I try to extract entire archive nope [08:35] hehehe: what was your syntax? [08:35] 7zip x archieve name [08:36] so, Minecraft does not exhibit the problem [08:36] can I instruct it to overlook corrupt files? [08:36] and extract the rest? [08:37] so the issue, then, is probably in the individual games, not handling reading mouse movements correctly... or maybe it's SDL [08:42] hi [08:43] hey guys. I have with snapd on my PC. My home is not in the standard place. When I use different user on the same machine where the hom efolder is in th standard place it works fine. I've get an error that the mapped FS is readonly [08:43] there is a bug report about this, but somehow it is expired [08:43] so I've reported it again [08:43] hi, please suggest a good usb formatting utility available for Xubuntu. [08:44] can you imagine a workaround? [08:44] CrazyTux: gparted [08:44] I am just looking in to details about snappy [08:44] I need to format my pendrive to Ext4. [08:44] ok [08:44] CrazyTux: yup, it can do that [08:44] CrazyTux, the default is startupdiskcreator [08:44] Eric, ok. Will try that. [08:45] cfhowlett: CrazyTux that creates a live usb [08:45] I need an utility to format and one to create a live usb also. [08:45] stardiskcreator does both [08:46] ivo_, I woudnt reccomend doing a whole ubuntu system iin snappy for the average user at this ttime [08:46] ok. [08:46] CrazyTux: if you just need to format, then gparted, if you want to create a live usb then use startup disk creator [08:46] if it's a ubuntu live usb [08:47] If I need to create something else? [08:47] then use unetbootin [08:47] or dd the iso if it supports that [08:48] ok [08:50] SebthreeBQM10HD, I am just playing around [08:51] it looks very similar to docker [08:51] so just looking at it [08:54] hello everyone, I'm trying to access an encrypted home folder on a borked disk. the folder is shown when testdisk is run. I tried to find some luks strings via command 'strings -n 4 -t d /dev/sda | grep LUKS' but strangely, I havent found any true positives yet. could there be something wrong/missing with the command? [08:54] White House press secretary’s angry declaration that the media faked low attendance does not stack up against photos, videos and public transport figures https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/22/trump-inauguration-crowd-sean-spicers-claims-versus-the-evidence [08:54] nomic, wrong channel . do not spam political content here. [08:55] inra: encrypted home dir or encrypted disk? [08:55] EriC^^ encyrpted home dir [08:56] inra: recover your home dir contents and use ecryptfs to decrypt it [08:56] luks isn't involved in home dir encryption [08:56] ah [08:57] EriC^^ so I can just copy contents from testdisk, and decrypt it? [08:57] you'll need the passphrase (unwrapped) or the last login you had the passphrase wrapped with [08:57] inra: yeah [08:58] EriC^^ is it the passphrase that I created at first login? [08:58] yes, it's the password you used in the installer depending how you changed it later [08:59] how did the disk get borked? maybe you dont need testdisk recovery [08:59] ah, so it's the login password [09:00] EriC^^ I did the worst and dumbest..inserted the wrong letter to X in /dev/sdX when running dd [09:00] and stopped the process 5-10 seconds later [09:00] but still it was borked [09:00] no partition is shown on disk [09:00] inra: that's not too bad [09:00] oh? [09:01] inra: what was your partition table like? [09:01] and how much gb did it say it copied? [09:01] there were multiple OSes, some under an extended partition [09:01] I dont remember how much was copied [09:02] I think I didn't notice it even if it was shown [09:02] the thing is, testdisk can't recover much with ext4, you could use photorec but it'll just give files it can find, with no dir structure or filenames [09:02] oh no [09:02] I know this [09:02] but you said I could decrypt? [09:02] which might bork the whole decryption process if it's like encfs [09:03] inra: if you're lucky then you have a partition at the start of the disk, and that filesystem got borked, but it didn't reach the partition that has your home dir [09:03] in that case you can mount that partition if you can get the old partition table from an old sudo parted -l paste you made, or testdisk might be able to find it, and then you can mount it using the offset sector [09:04] and you'd be golden if dd never reached that filesystem [09:04] do you have an old paste you made of sudo parted -l or so? [09:05] have you ever been here before? anybody requested it? you can check the irc logs for the link [09:07] EriC^^ I did have a partition at start, and I think it damaged this one only. because on the system I was at the moment, I checked the partition table, and only the first partition was shown 'unknown', and all the rest of the partitions were shown there (but still all in a distorted partition table, with extended partition gone) but this was in gnome disk utility. when I however ran gparted, none of the partitions were shown, and the whole disk was marked a [09:07] s 'unallocated' [09:07] inra: yeah that makes sense, the partition table is the first 512bytes of the disk usually [09:08] but testdisk showed 'all' the partitions with none of them missing, even the ones that I recently deleted [09:08] yeah, it can find lost partitions [09:08] do you remember if it was a gpt partition or msdos? [09:08] I mean, what testdisk showed was just as how my disk looked like [09:09] inra: ok, perfect [09:09] EriC^^ it was msdos [09:09] inra: in testdisk press the right arrow to select the partitions the way they were, and then press write [09:09] P stands for primary and the L something is for the extended logical ones [09:09] EriC^^ sure about write? I remember when I last used this function in testdisk :) [09:10] yeah, if you are sure of the layout go for it [09:10] is it not ok just to copy it somewhere and decrypt it? [09:10] seeking safety :) [09:10] inra: you can't copy it unfortunately [09:10] ah [09:10] ext4 doesn't play too well with testdisk and usual recovery methods [09:11] ah wait [09:11] inra: my bad [09:11] i was thinking as if you had deleted the files [09:11] inra: you can infact press "p" over the partition to view the files and then copy the whole files somewhere, it should work [09:12] oh great [09:12] live cd has no testdisk, so have to install it first, and then will start right away [09:37] nautilus [09:38] ? [09:39] EriC^^ testdisk copies the files, but I dont see anything in the destination folder..is it because it's encrypted? [09:40] or will they appear when the copying is complete? [09:44] is it ok to run other commands on the disk on a second terminal while testdisk is running on the same? [09:45] inra: depends on the commands [09:45] inra: did you write the old partition table using testdisk? [09:46] EriC^^, hello back :) it is still copying, about 40K files copied already. but strange is, the destination folder is still empty, is it because the source is encrypted? [09:47] how are you copying [09:47] via testdisk [09:47] with C [09:47] uh [09:48] inra: yes the files should be in a dir called .private [09:49] press ctrl+h and it should show up [09:50] hi === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [09:51] libratbag is pretty nice [09:52] only thing it can't do with my mouse, far as I can tell, is changing the LED patterns [09:53] EriC^^ that's the folder that I expect to see, too, but it hasn't appeared yet [09:54] when I asked about other commands, I was referring to the other trial to access the folder via strings, grep cryptsetup.. [09:55] inra: in testdisk did you choose the dest dir? [09:55] EriC^^ yes [09:56] inra: it should say Copied in green if it works [09:57] EriC^^ yes, it was saying copied in green for a long while until some copies failed and it is shown in red since, but still copying [09:58] try a sudo find / -iname ".Private" [09:58] but it must be copying because when I check folder size the free space is diminishing steadily, and there is a used space of several GBs [09:58] aha, cool [10:02] EriC^^ your last command did it! I was looking for it under the folder that I created (/media/ubuntu/myusb/copyhere), but it was copying it at 'media/ubuntu/myusb/home/.ecryptfs/sourcefoldername/.Private' [10:03] nice [10:03] once it's done, "ecryptfs-recover-private" should find it and ask you for the passphrase to decrypt === arthur is now known as Guest79565 [10:04] oh great, I hope! :) [10:14] inra: about the files that failed to recover, after it 's done you could get the starting sector from testdisk, e.g 123 and the sector size, e.g 512 and run sudo mount -o offset=$((123*512)) /dev/sdX /mountpoint [10:14] and then use rsync to do a quick sweep of the files and try to copy what failed [10:15] sudo rsync -av /mountpoint/ /path/to/recovered/files (trailing / after mountpoint is important) [10:17] EriC^^ thank you! :) I hope the folders that I need get delivered intact :) [10:21] inra: no problem, yeah, you can md5 check them to be sure too [10:21] I was just wondering if I used earlier the command with strings correctly, in order to find offset numbers to use with luksdump..'strings -n 4 -t d /dev/sdb | grep LUKS' [10:22] inra: i've no idea about that [10:23] the strings deliver the luks numbers related to the partition, then use these to mount a /dev/loopX , then use it with cryptsetup to land right upon the partition needed, and enter password, it's opened [10:25] but I dont remember the exact use of commands [10:25] aha, nice === screedoz is now known as screedo [10:28] Anyone know someone that would like to get paid to try and help me with this sound issue?: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2350105 [10:31] cotin__: do you have access to another set of headphones? [10:32] can i set user owner on a mounted disk image? [10:33] I am mounting a data partition of a image, and want to add / modify files on the partition [10:33] Yes i have access to another set of headphones [10:34] And have made sure that the headphones i want to use works with my cell and my other windows computer. [10:35] cotin__: have you ever used anything else in the same audio plug/hole ? [10:35] installing google earth how? the software center just keeps spinning. [10:36] cotin__: have you ever used anything else in the same audio plug/hole ? besides those headphones ....ever [10:36] hey guys , i have a major problem with dpkg :( i can't install anything or update it ,http://pastebin.com/ysTMFYAg [10:36] No i have not. But i think this problem started after i used a second screen connected with HDMI to my laptop. [10:37] cotin__: have those headphones ever worked in that plug/hole?..ever [10:37] yes. they did when i first tried to fix the headphone jack as i described here: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2350105 [10:38] after a fresh install of 16.10 === anonymous is now known as Guest42380 [10:39] cotin__: no where in your forum post do you acknowledge the headphones have functions as designed in the past [10:39] So , can anyone tell me what is wrong with this ? http://pastebin.com/ysTMFYAg [10:40] cobra-the-joker, try sudo apt full-upgrade [10:40] cotin__: saying "the head phones worked at first when i tried to fix a broken jack" makes no sense, if the jack was non functional your answer is false [10:40] The top guide to change [Element Speaker] settings in "analog-output-headphones.conf" at /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/ [10:41] They did not work after the fresh 16.10 install. but that guide i mention at the top did work. [10:41] cfhowlett: i don;t want to upgrade to 16.10 though === al2o3-cr_ is now known as al2o3-cr [10:41] But now after 2 weeks it suddenly does not work. [10:41] cotin__: the hole/plug possibly has sustained physical damage, and no evidence you have provided or steps you have take validate the opposite [10:41] cobra-the-joker, and that would not because it is not sudo do-release-upgrade [10:42] Hi Hi everyone, so I recently added my first new user to Ubuntu Server 16.10 named "news", following this I manually created its own directory within /home/ as this wasn't added by the system. Is this normal? [10:42] cotin__: ok my next questions for you will be in yes or no form...meaning restrict your answers to yes or no ONLY [10:42] cfhowlett: i got the same response [10:42] Well my it recognizes in sound setting when i plug in the jack and changes from Speakers to headphones. [10:42] And even shows sound playing. [10:43] ok [10:43] cotin__: Do the headphones work when booted to livecd/liveusb? yes or not or say "i don't know" [10:43] i dont' know. [10:43] cotin__: go find out [10:44] Ok ill be back tatertots [10:47] Would have naming my new user "news" created the issue of not having a system created user directory within /home/ ? [10:48] xcloud: no [10:49] EriC^^ I get this error with "ecryptfs-recover-private": paste.ubuntu.com/23845050 [10:49] I just created another user, and received a message stating " Creating home directory `/home/username" [10:51] now when I debugged ssh as I was able to find that the new user called "news" had a home directory in /var/spool/ [10:51] ah, I might have found the way to solve it [10:51] why would the system create it there? [10:53] Sooo , guys i really need help here http://pastebin.com/ysTMFYAg [10:53] EriC^^ accessed! thank you very much!!! [10:55] EriC^^ when this error comes with "ecryptfs-recover-private": paste.ubuntu.com/23845050, the solution is to add the exact location of .Private, like "sudo ecryptfs-recover-private media/ubuntu/myusb/home/.ecryptfs/sourcefoldername/.Private"..then it detected the private folder instantly [10:57] tatertots: I think Ubuntu already has a user named 'news' by default :/ [10:57] so, this is more a generic linux question: in my program i have to map some device memory, which obviously requires root priviledges [10:57] however, i don't want to run my program as root [10:57] what options do i have here? [10:58] tatertots im back. And headphones works perfectly in LiveUSB. [10:58] @tatertots [10:58] i can obviously run the program as root, map the memory, drop priviledges and fork. is there a nicer way though? [10:59] cotin: good eal [10:59] cotin: good deal [11:00] So its an easy fix then? :D [11:00] cotin: you have determined the symptom is isolated to the installed operating system [11:00] Ok [11:00] I think https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1573206 doesn't open .deb packages but if I right click the package and pick "open with ubuntu software center" it does want to install it.

[13:45] deadbit: just from shell/terminal [13:45] is it configured to run automatically or are you going from the she... [13:45] ok [13:45] deadbit: yes should start on boot but fails [13:46] hmmm..... [13:48] did you update ubuntu? [13:48] hi does anyone know why a "mount" on a nfs drive takes forever to happen... I can ping the server, the server has nfs-kernel-server install and /etc/exports setup ... the client and nfs-common install and /etc/fstab setup ... but when I try to do the mount it never happens. [13:49] can you pastebin the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld file? [13:49] well pinging only means that icmp echo is enabled. generally you can assume that traffic is open between both points. [13:50] it's more of a blind link-state status [13:50] neildugan, those last two where meant for you. [13:50] deadbit: that's weird it has come back up. it seems it is down to my var dir getting full ! [13:50] jonah can you pastebin the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld file? [13:50] deadbit: so I ran out of disk space [13:50] ah... wow. [13:50] lol - like i previously said - sometimes it's just that simple [13:51] deadbit: do you know how I can find out what filled /var/ ? [13:51] that's a good question. [13:53] deadbit, why mysqld? [13:53] neildugan, no. the mysqld is for jonah. [13:53] hahaha i need to place names before i post on threads.

[13:55] hey guys, something very strange happened to me yesterday. I re-installed my laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 (Kernel 4.8 and new Wifi-driver) and suddenly I can't reach one specific subnet in my LAN, I can't even ping it, though I can ping the other subnets just as usual and I can also ping the domain name (it's a server) Where should I start looking for errors? [13:56] I just tried to ping from a Windows computer and that works, but not from mine [13:58] this might be basic. but make sure you can ping the loopback [13:58] ping is basically a blind/link-state status. [13:59] enoch85_, [14:00] enoch85_, were you able to do the loopback address? [14:00] ping 127.0.0.1 [14:00] or ping loopback [14:00] deadbit, seems like I tried it all... [14:00] sec will try [14:00] yup, it works [14:00] what does ifconfig tell you for your interface configuration [14:00] will post some stats [14:00] sec [14:01] jonah, hey that's great! you found what's filling up your /var. yeah would make sense - those db.logs getting quite large. [14:01] hey guys, does anyone knows how to completely disable mouse accel on ubuntu? [14:02] i tried modifing the xorg config but it dosent work after reboot [14:03] deadbit, https://hastebin.com/oqiyogewev.pl [14:03] be careful on clearing your logs, you can damage the tables [14:03] jonah, read up on this link, which shows the syntax for flush. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/flush.html [14:03] it will give you the syntax for the flush command and clearing the logs out. [14:04] ks479, are you disabling the mouse accel because your gaming? [14:04] deadbit, yeah [14:04] some games dosent allow raw mouse imput [14:04] ks479, yeah i figured... what you playing? are you using play on linux? [14:05] deadbit, https://hastebin.com/omololalid.rb [14:05] enoch85_, i'm reading through the output now. [14:05] i have about 80 games on steam, 50 of those run on linux, for some games like skyrim, i have to use playonlinux [14:05] deadbit, thanks! [14:06] Desktop frozen [14:06] Cannot connect to brl [14:06] enoch85_, oh wow you got the dev build dell xps 13 with ubuntu [14:06] i mostly play csgo and tf2 [14:06] nice! how do you like it? i was just thinking about buying one. literally last night! [14:06] trying to install mysql-server is going abysmally, is mysql a reputed headache in ubuntu? [14:06] deadbit, I can ping 192.168.4.111 from the firewall [14:06] deadbit, yes :) [14:06] i had the dell mini with ubuntu 8.10 [14:07] ks479, are you having trouble with csgo? [14:07] bug with snmpd init script when running lxc containers on the host [14:07] also, are you using play on linux? [14:07] deadbit, actually it's a windows 10 Dell that I installed Ubuntu on, but it's nice. worth the money! [14:07] really? [14:07] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815142 [14:07] Debian bug 815142 in snmpd "snmpd: dose not start snmpd when LXC containers (running snmpd process inside it) exists" [Normal,Open] [14:07] enoch85_, how does it support the ubuntu OS? any problems with drivers? [14:07] applies to ubuntu package as well [14:07] deadbit, im having trouble disabling mouse acceleration [14:08] deadbit, running the latest kernel (4.8) with the latest broadcom drivers, it works nice, no errors execpt this strange error [14:08] ks479, yes I know.. i'm sorry. I was asking enoch85_ if he had any problems with loading ubuntu on the dell xps 13 [14:08] deadbit, I ran 4.4 before and didn't have this issue though [14:08] so it sounds like you are trying to ping a windows machine on a domain? [14:08] deadbit: ah sorry still having a lot of problems [14:09] deadbit, UEFI and everything [14:09] deadbit: var is still full even with the logs gone [14:09] +1 [14:09] i will just use xset m 00 whenever i boot [14:09] deadbit: it looks like it is down to ibdata1 file in mysql folder!! [14:10] deadbit: it is massive and fills the partition but not sure what I can do [14:10] ks479, you said you opened the ...mouse..accel.conf file? [14:10] try this ks479 http://www.webupd8.org/2016/08/how-to-completely-disable-mouse.html [14:10] it's a link to disable acceleration for linux machines [14:11] deadbit, I'm trying to ping 192.168.4.111 (LAN address to a VLAN on my server) [14:11] ok your server is running hyperv? [14:11] thats exactly what i tried, it dosent really work [14:12] deadbit, I have 10 other VLANS and it's just the 192.168.4.0/24 network that doesn't respond, though it works when I try from another PC (my wifes windows laptop) [14:12] what is the vswitch configured to? private? external, internal? [14:12] vmware [14:12] deadbit, hmm let me check [14:12] ok ks479 you did try that... [14:12] deadbit, oh, btw, have no switch [14:12] jonah, looks like this is a mysql issue [14:12] whenever my pc wakes up the mouse acceleration is back on [14:13] it's one physical interface nic that handles all the VLANs, and it worked before, but not since I upgraded to the 4.8 kernel [14:13] which is very strange [14:13] it should be the opposite [14:13] not necessarily a problem with you ubuntu OS. probably might be a good idea to flush your logs or look at truncating your db...although those options are best left to a professional db admin. not to say you are not - but if done incorreclty they can/will damage your db. [14:14] jonah, i'd recommend asking in #mysql [14:15] deadbit, I tried to restart the firewall, server, datastore (FreeNAS), laptop, and it still doesn't work, though I'm starting to belive it's a firmware issue becuase it works from other PCs... deadbit [14:15] it's a weird one for sure. [14:15] deadbit: ok tryng that thanks [14:15] i'm trying to see if google has any threads on anyone else with your build that might have this problem [14:15] jonah, you're welcome [14:16] deadbit, I tried to allow * (everything) to my XPS13 and did the same with my wifes laptop. RESULT: my wifes laptop can ping, but not my xps 13 [14:16] and they are both connected to the same AP [14:16] yeah but pinging is just icmp echo [14:17] try to see if you can hit shares on the server [14:17] deadbit, tried SSH as well, but it times out [14:17] you have smb/samba enabled right? [14:17] deadbit, I can reach the domain but not the internal IP [14:18] deadbit, I also tried VPN (10.0.0.2) and it doesn't work either [14:18] do you have subnet isolation other than the vlan traffic? [14:18] deadbit, so something is up with this PC [14:18] Any expert here ? Desktops hangs after login [14:18] xps 13 [14:18] deadbit, subnet isaolation? [14:18] by design that's what vlans are - they are segregated broadcast domains [14:18] yeah on some firewalls - you can isolate the traffic [14:18] yeah, I can't reach another subnet if I don't allow it [14:19] but my XPS13 is allowed to everything in the network [14:19] what firewall are you using? [14:19] SONICWall? [14:19] opnsense [14:19] ok [14:19] no rules are changed [14:19] Anyone help me with desktops login freeze ? [14:20] and it worked before I upgraded linux-generic-firmware, kernel and wifi driver [14:20] ultrawel, just ask. dn't ask to ask [14:20] It hangs [14:20] Just put your question out there. [14:20] Desktops hangs after login [14:20] What do I do [14:20] ultrawel, Yes that's understood. Did you make changes? [14:20] Fresh installation [14:20] deadbit, theese are the firmware I used: https://cloud.techandme.se/s/uxI8k2yDQ92zX4h [14:20] ultrawel, Well - I would go to google and start looking for an answer. [14:20] I did [14:21] I tried every solution [14:21] on Ubuntu 16.04 [14:21] You're probably not getting much help because - it would be obvious to find most the help you need online. [14:21] ultrawel, i'm sure it feels like you did, and i'm not trying to berate you or belittle you. but i don't think you can literally try "every" solution. [14:21] I ttied moving tje cache folder [14:22] I tried reinstalling desktop and unity [14:22] I tried chown [14:22] I tried removing some config folders [14:22] enoch85_, i'd be intrested in knowing what you learn to be the issue. i'm very sorry i have to go [14:22] Nomodeset works but low resolution [14:22] deadbit, [14:22] ok [14:22] Removing quiet splash didnt work [14:22] i've added you as a friend on my list. please include me on your friends list if possible. may i pm you? [14:22] deadbit, thanks anyway :) [14:22] Upgrading kernel didnt work [14:23] Me ? [14:23] If you are asking me ,you can pm me [14:24] alright thanks [14:24] chu, thanks again. [14:25] i appreciate you understanding. [14:26] Irc crashed [14:29] What would you recommend as a shared filesystem which can be readily written to by both linux and Windows and more robust than FAT32? [14:30] ntfs [14:30] I-m going to try ext [14:30] NTFS writes by linux still cause errors in my experience. [14:30] surveyor, ^ [14:30] Nitrigaur: no they don't [14:31] i agree unfortunately ntfs is the best option [14:32] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro 13" from 2015 and the Apple bluetooth mouse won't pair, I tried all tips that I could find but no luck [14:32] Has anybody here succeeded with this? [14:33] ppf, it happened more than once that my system crashed while an NTFS share was mounted and it was unrecoverable by both linux and Windows, without any physical damage to the disk... [14:33] so why do you blame linux for that :D [14:34] Nitrigaur, i bet you are using rolling distro [14:34] ppf, that's why I am wary to use NTFS as shared system. Mind you when Windows crashed with mounted NTFS it could still recover from that. That happened on multiple occasions. Granted that was on 14.04. [14:34] bleeding edge [14:35] those are ... entirely unrelated things [14:35] dontknow, no I'm not, strictly LTS when it comes to linux [14:35] ntfs on linux has been stable for years now [14:35] Hello, can I set umask for a directory only? [14:35] there's no drawback in using it, and it's undoubtedly the best option if you want to share disk space with windows and linux [14:37] ppf, I'll try again, hoping I fare better this time. And to be fair to dontknow, I am using Ubuntu LTS atm, but I'm planning to triple-boot between Ubuntu, Arch (rolling release) and Windows [14:39] ppf, and I am not trying to blame anything, I just state the experience I've had so far. And I have been running Linux since 1997. [14:40] dontknow, ppf, surveyor, thank you for your imput. I will risk it on NTFS once again... [14:41] After all, the shared files are just a copy from the originals on both systems. [14:53] You guys play Steam games? [14:53] sure [14:54] lots of RocketLeague lately for me [14:54] deadbit: solved it [14:54] it was my vmnet that had the same subnet, changed it and now it works [14:57] Hello [14:57] hi [14:57] so anything coolio happening here [14:58] WHO [14:59] what [15:00] when [15:00] why [15:02] where [15:03] Are any of you guys running the AMDGPU drivers? Are they ready for gaming? [15:03] Anyone else find out recently that discord has a linux version now. Also I used to use amd gpu with my linux gaming rig [15:04] I can see if there are drivers for your card what is it? [15:04] if you look up "amd drivers linux" on google [15:04] yeah discord runs quite well!

Then do the last available updates. Afterwards you should be prompted to upgrade to the 16.04 release. [15:24] hello! [15:24] can someone help me? [15:25] When i try to connect to my UbuntuMate - raspberry pi 3 with vnc it does not show desktop [15:26] neildugan, check PM [15:26] hi can anyone please help. I'm trying to use system-config-lvm from a live CD but when I open it up there are no drives, volume groups or partitions shown... Just an empty window [15:28] z.z.z.z [15:32] good morning :) i realize im asking in #ubuntu - but maybe you know .. my husband has problems with his ubuntu 16.04 and LibreOffice - they updated from LO 4 to LO 5 and now it says his files don't exist .. and they are there, i looked in terminal .. so is 5 looking in a new place for files? [15:33] list -YES [15:34] chull: do [15:34] lowrite path_to_file [15:34] does it open it [15:34] lowriter [15:35] jatt we are in the opening recover window. i had him uninstall and reinstal LO .. [15:36] he has files to recover/open but its listing them as Untitled Untitled 1 etc [15:37] chull: Check the 'paths' settings in >Tools>Options... [15:37] minimec, oh i forgot the good part. Ubuntu doesn't show anything in the Toolbar for LO [15:37] chull: sure but you can try to open the file from the command line [15:38] jatt ok [15:39] Anyone know a way to use an android tablet as a second screen on ubuntu 16.04 ? === JanC is now known as Guest57312 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:39] chull: If you don't see the menu (text), first try to set the default desktop theme again in 'unity-tweak-tool'. === kerberos-leon-94 is now known as kerberosleon [15:44] jatt, its not opening. minimec other applications have the tool bar [15:44] it didn't help to click restore defaults [15:46] chull: I remeber having had the same problem. LibreOffice is not a GTK application, that's wjy you have the problem. You might be able to get the 'Tool'-menu with t. [15:47] minimec, doesn't seem to. [15:47] nice idea though ill keep it :) [15:48] chull: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/70263/toolbar-text-missing/ [15:50] bbb [15:53] minimec, it goes to this bug, but you just told us that LO is not a GTK app https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bamf/+bug/1532226 [15:53] Launchpad bug 1532226 in bamf (Ubuntu) "No menu bar in gtk apps on fresh boot" [Critical,Fix released] [15:55] hello there [15:58] anyone active here? [15:58] groundze1o, you haven't asked a question! [15:58] chull: As far as I remember, it's related to the 'theme' Are you using the default theme? You can change that in the 'settings' app, or install the 'unity-tweak-tool'. The tweak tool is not installed as deafult application, I think. [15:58] chull: Unity default theme... [15:59] are you from Montreal neildugan ? [15:59] groundze1o, no! why would you think I am? [16:00] neildugan: i whoised you [16:00] he has the unity tweak tool [16:01] groundze1o, au is aussie [16:01] he had a darker theme and switched to a lighter one now.. i like darker [16:02] i am using irc in a terminal [16:02] kind of funny [16:03] groundze1o, his irc server is in Montreal [16:03] to have a 1300$ machine with 4k resolution to play around in terminal [16:03] groundze1o, lots of irc programs for terminal - the pros use them [16:03] hehe [16:04] chalcedony: why would pros use a terminal instead of a gui with more capabilities? [16:04] the irssi thing i am using now, can not scroll up..so i can't see old messages [16:04] you can do more with it than you think - look at 'screen' with irssi or weechat? [16:05] oh..just pressed on "page up/down" i can scroll..well..now i am happy [16:10] minimec, or anyone would you feel safe downloading this? a guy in #libreoffice said its the latest and greatest https://websetnet.com/libreoffice-5-2-ppa-ready-ubuntu-16-04-ubuntu-14-04/ [16:12] chull: I personally try to avoid ppa's. And I am not sure that this solves the 'menu problem'. [16:13] minimec, i see. ok that answers that [16:16] minimec, so this is a ubuntu issue, and we need to wait for someone to solve it? [16:18] it definitely affects LibreOffice.. which really does not work atm [16:18] chalcedony: As far as I remember, there is nothing to solve. It has to do with your desktop theme not beeing 100% compatible. [16:19] there is more wrong though, libre office's popup windows don't work [16:19] and it cant find his files [16:22] Object not accessible The object cannot be accessed due to inisufficient user rights [16:22] plus all those unidentified files that he is sure he saved [16:23] chull: Maybe try to rename tho libreoffice configuration folder to 'libreoffice-backup'. See '/home//.config/libreoffice'... https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux [16:24] minimec, ooh ok that might [16:24] thank you a lot [16:24] Hi,everybody [16:25] I'm a green hand [16:25] who can tell me how to use this system?

Can you switch to a console 'f1' and login with the account you normally use? Check ich you have a .Xauthority file. If that is the case 'mv .Xauthority .Xauthority-old'. Then logout and f7 to get the GUi login screen again. [16:49] already done when I was trying to fix the login loop, but no solution worked, so I give up. I just want my files back so I can reinstall [16:49] PianoSkulls, you mean you can't login via console ? [16:49] oh I can login alright [16:50] how can I prevent recent file indexing in dash for certain directories? [16:50] there just isnt a .Xauthority file [16:50] it doesnt exist [16:50] PianoSkulls, ls -al ~/.Xauthority [16:50] PianoSkulls, its hidden [16:51] PianoSkulls: You could simply rename the 'home/. The next time you login, a new folder will be created, and you can copy the files you need back from . [16:51] PianoSkulls, all files starting with a dot '.' are hidden by default [16:51] PianoSkulls, the output please [16:52] it says: ls cannot access '/home/username/.Xauthority": No such file [16:53] PianoSkulls, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2| grep driver === Menzador is now known as Guest44012 [16:55] Kernel driver in use: i915 [16:56] PianoSkulls, is your home encrypted ?

[17:06] PianoSkulls, why you said you were not [17:06] I didn't think I was [17:07] PianoSkulls, did you change your password ? [17:07] yes [17:07] yesterday [17:07] PianoSkulls, from command line ?????? [17:07] yes [17:08] PianoSkulls, never change passwd on encryption from cli [17:08] PianoSkulls, use always gui [17:08] well now I know [17:08] thanks for the heads up. [17:08] is there a fix for this? [17:09] PianoSkulls, it nullified the function itself of encryption ... [17:09] PianoSkulls, idk really, mount manually and try to unwrap [17:11] ioria, so you're saying i'm in this mess because I changed the password? [17:11] PianoSkulls, yes [17:13] PianoSkulls, try this but personally never tried (http://askubuntu.com/questions/281491/cant-log-in-after-password-change-ecryptfs) and could make the things worse, in alternative try this http://www.howtogeek.com/116297/how-to-recover-an-encrypted-home-directory-on-ubuntu/ [17:14] Hello, trying to figure out if my dvd drive is defective or needs tweaking... running ubuntu 16.04 [17:15] already tried many tutorials and workarounds but no luck [17:15] ioria, thank you for the help, i'll try that. You helped a lot, I didn't know my user was encrypted [17:15] PianoSkulls, no problem, good luck [17:16] :) [17:18] hi? [17:19] nuxmuncher what errror messages do you get that lead you to believe that you optical drive is malfunctioning? [17:19] nuxmuncher what errror messages do you get that lead you to believe that your optical drive is malfunctioning? [17:20] ^ still a typo, but I think that the message is clear enough... [17:20] 'open disc' from vlc yields: Playback failure: [17:20] DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/sr0". [17:20] Your input can't be opened: [17:20] VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details. [17:21] nuxmuncher, 1. how many optical drives do you have? 2. Are you trying to play a retail DVD video? [17:21] cd icon does not appear in side menu.. with or with dvd inserted [17:22] i want to be able to play dvd .. or rip with handbrake. No luck with either [17:22] nuxmuncher, does the light indicating that it is trying to read from disc light up? [17:22] how come people never check the log when their error message literally says "see log for DETAILS" [17:22] hi, recently i lose networking each time my laptop wakes up from suspend. turns out it comes back if i restart NetworkManager. is this a known issue? i'm on xenial [17:22] yes [17:22] literally [17:22] haakonn wifi or cable? [17:22] jerks & starts & whirs then stops [17:23] MonkeyDust: wiki, haven't checked cable [17:23] wifi* [17:23] ive tried most tutorials I've googled.. no luck [17:24] only one internal optical drive [17:24] nuxmuncher, please give me the URL you get when typing lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:25] http://termbin.com/f47k [17:26] ioria, are you here? [17:26] I FIXED IT [17:26] PianoSkulls, yes === Nicmavr is now known as Guest68376 [17:26] PianoSkulls, good [17:26] all i had to do was change the password back to what it was originaly [17:27] now i can log in fine [17:27] nuxmuncher, thx, I do see a sr0 device, so that looks good. Do you have a data DVD handy (without any copy protection) and if so, does that mount normally? [17:29] it never mounted so far... how do you know / see sr0 ? I feel jostled right now [17:29] It can be an install DVD or a backup that you made earlier, does not matter really. Some DVD's are copy-protected in such ways that your optical drive won't be able to mount it without extra software, === Guest68376 is now known as Kestrel-029 [17:29] it's a store bought dvd so I don't know [17:30] nuxmuncher, please don't feel jostled. There is no reason to. It simply states on the last line of your pastebin: sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom [17:30] please.. how did you see sr0 device? are you controlling part of my computer? [17:31] ok i guess. i've inserted the dvd [17:31] nuxmuncher, I don't have any access to your computer, no worries :-) [17:33] ok, that's reassuring... what exactly did "..f47k" convey to you? [17:34] Hi all! [17:34] nuxmuncher, please give me the URL you get when typing tail -n 20 dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:35] nuxmuncher, the URL that you provided, told me that your system did detect a block device called sr0 [17:36] hopefully i'll find the answer here (i couldnt solve it using stuff ive found so far). does anyone know how i can change the audio jacks "roles" somehow the front only serve as speaker out while i want it to be mic plug (chnage back to front and vice versa) :\ [17:36] nuxmuncher, Sorry, I forgot a pipe here, this is the correct command: dmesg | tail -n 20 | nc termbin.com 9999 [17:37] sr0 is usually a cd/dvdrom drive [17:37] yes indeed. [17:38] ignacio: hi === Str8Edge is now known as RivalStr8Edge [17:39] don't get URL.. I get: tail: cannot open 'dmesg' for reading: No such file or directory [17:39] Use netcat. [17:39] http://termbin.com/woh1 [17:39] nuxmuncher, I've been called upon to make the evening dinner. I have to leave you for now. I hope you will find the cause of this. The most likely cause is that you miss the software to decrypt the DVD before you can mount it and view the movie you'd like to see. [17:40] ... sorry just saw 2nd message [17:41] ok..thanks.. as i've said.. followed many tutorials and already ran 'dmesg' commands without luck.. at any rate: happy diner [17:42] can anyone else help me with diagnosing dvd drive problems? [17:42] on ubuntu 16.o4 LTS? === myth is now known as Guest96735 [17:42] nuxmuncher, thank you and good luck solving your DVD issue. It is most likely a case of copy protection. If decss is legal in your parts of the world, you might want to install it, but there is meta-package that handles all the dependencies. [17:43] OK, I really have to go now, I see some impatient faces staring at me ;-) [17:44] Hi! Any way to speed up RDP connections from Ubuntu to Windows? It's really slow.. [17:44] hi [17:49] .. like I said.. I just don't want to buy another dvd drive just to find out that I didn't properly tweak the dvd drive I already have... [17:49] can anyone help? [17:50] nuxmuncher, there's a lot of stuff on the web that'll help you with playing dvd's - if that doesn't help you probably have a bad dvd player [17:50] gotta make sure you get all the appropriate packages installed [17:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [17:51] that's what I suspect but find it troubling that there's no actual program that'll tell me "broke" or "not broke" [17:52] i totally don't mind getting another dvd drive [17:52] i've seen that page... doesn't help [17:52] i haven't priced dvd drives laely but they're probably no expensive [17:53] can you try playing the dvd in another computer or regular dvd player? [17:56] does anyone know how to test whether a dvd drive is broken or not? === Guest44012 is now known as _7 === _7 is now known as Menzador [17:58] is there another channel geared for dvd support? [17:59] hello, are debian based distros generally better than rpm based distros? [18:00] CrazyTux: Its personal preference, Ubuntu is based on Debian, so most people here would prefer that. If you want general advice, I'd suggest joining ##linux and asking there [18:00] CrazyTux: Debian has more packages as compared to rpm [18:01] randomguy1997, yeah. I was looking for that kind of info. [18:04] Good evening! [18:05] good evening, Draggin.. [18:05] Hiya CrazyTux :) === stav is now known as nuxmuncher [18:06] I have a very quick and short question - trying to help a friend troubleshoot a little issue on her Ubuntu machine. What is the actual command that gets executed when one clicks the Ubuntu Software icon in Unity? Her mouse cursor indicates that something is happening, but Ubuntu Software never opens up. So I want to tell her to run it from the terminal so I can get an indication as to what is going wrong. [18:06] But - "software-center" seems to be an older version of Ubuntu Software? Or am I missing something. I'm struggling to find this information online. [18:07] (I've obviously not used standard Ubuntu in a very long time - I switched to Kubuntu on higher-end machines and Lubuntu on lower-end machines very long ago :) ) === stav is now known as nuxmuncher [18:08] Draggin: run and show the output of: sudo apt update [18:09] xangua, I had her do an update and dist-upgrade, which seemingly completed without any errors (difficult for me to say for sure though, as I'm troubleshooting remotely) [18:09] But after completing both and a reboot, the issue still hadn't gone away [18:09] Hi can anyone help me with dvd drive problems? [18:10] won't recognize any dvd I put in there [18:12] ...actually, it recognizes audio discs, but not dvd movies... [18:12] any advice? [18:12] any love?

[18:28] I'm getting this error: prntscr.com/dyxh0m [18:28] I've installed Umake [18:28] but when I try to install pycharm I get that? === chappie-san2 is now known as Chappie-san [18:30] nvm [18:30] it's working [18:30] so no? ... [18:32] So quick question. [18:32] Is there a reason why Ubuntu is preferred over Windows by some devs? [18:32] I feel like Windows has all the apps Ubuntu has and more. [18:33] DarkKnight, fully depends on what you're developing :) [18:33] kinda difficult to dev a linux app on w.. [18:33] how is user [18:34] true [18:34] user's privacy handled in Ubuntu? [18:34] It's not [18:34] in what way do you mean Tux? [18:34] nvm it's working but I can't enable the rc.local service [18:34] read somewhere that Ubuntu might have some spyware in it. [18:34] "somewhere" ? [18:35] all code is open, free to have a look if you liek. [18:35] like.. [18:35] That's the problem [18:35] CrazyTux, perhaps I'm biased, but that sounds like total nonsense. Ubuntu is open source, so would be very hard for spyware to just slip through without anybody noticing... Source of your information? [18:35] Everyone thinks it's out in the open that nobody actually has a look [18:36] It's like that example of having an emergency in public [18:36] Everyone thinks someone else will do it [18:36] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html [18:36] The_DarkKnight, all of the developers working together on it will have a look. [18:36] I am just a beginner in Linux and to Open source community. Moreover, I'm just an end user. All these things are new to me. [18:36] hey [18:36] ??? [18:37] lol [18:37] is it safe to use fslint? [18:37] is it dangerous [18:37] OR IS IT [18:37] Ubuntu uses the information about searches to show the user ads to buy various things from Amazon. Amazon commits many wrongs; by promoting Amazon, Canonical contributes to them. However, the ads are not the core of the problem. The main issue is the spying. Canonical says it does not tell Amazon who searched for what. However, it is just as bad for Canonical to collect your personal information as it would have been for Amazon [18:37] to collect it. Ubuntu surveillance is not anonymous. [18:37] that you can actually disable if you like. [18:38] PianoSkulls: it depends on what you delete after/with using fslint [18:38] Gosh, oh2gba - I was actually unaware of this... o_O [18:39] I am using Xubuntu. Is that issue present in Xubuntu also? [18:39] k1l, only dupes and temps [18:39] maybe redundant whitespace [18:40] CrazyTux: ubuntu doesnt have spyware in it. the thing that was made the scandal as spyware, is a search bar that is named to online and local search. i guess you dont call firefox spyware because it searches online. [18:41] what's better? Fslint or bleachbit? [18:41] ok [18:41] the term or phrase "better" AND "best" are both "subjective" terms [18:42] i get that playing dvd's in ubuntu is 'illegal' but I'm guessing most/all of you have/do it... but reluctant to assist me in same... [18:42] @PianoSkulls [18:42] can you at least point me to somewhere where I can get help [18:42] tatertots, which one is safer [18:42] feeling sad and ignored here [18:42] PianoSkulls: automatic removes are never safe [18:43] When will hybrid graphics issue be solved ? [18:43] tatertots, i just want to clean the system from useless junk [18:43] PianoSkulls: and there is not that need to clean the system as it is on windows. [18:43] PianoSkulls: safe is also subjective...it's "safe" for a fish to stay under water for 4 hours without additional equipment....for a human...not so much [18:44] !dvd | nuxmuncher [18:44] nuxmuncher: Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [18:44] tatertots, technicalities and specifics lol [18:45] just upgraded to 16.04 and the laptop now has no sound :-( ... I get a list of devices with "aplay -l" ... but the sound config shows no output devices [18:45] nuxmuncher: that linked page tells you what to do. [18:45] Yo guys [18:45] I love you all [18:45] done it. [18:45] don' [18:45] Hey what's up [18:45] t work [18:46] nuxmuncher: what doesnt work exactly? [18:46] Does this command automatically start running Guest Additions? "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso" [18:46] drive plays music cd's but not dvd's (yes it's a dvd drive) [18:46] ? [18:47] nuxmuncher: so what ubuntu is it exactly? [18:47] 16.04 [18:47] nuxmuncher: is libdvd-pkg installed? [18:47] yes [18:47] Does this command automatically start running Guest Additions? "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-guest-additions-iso" [18:47] did it download and install libdvdcss? [18:48] now how do you enable rc.local? [18:49] Does anyone here have hybrid graphics (Intel/Nvidia GeForce) and is able switch in between the Intel and Nvidia card without problems ? [18:50] can play audio cd with rythymbox or vlc without any issue [18:50] myth_: did you install the nvidia driver offered on the system-settings -> software and updates? [18:50] but movie dvd not even recognized [18:51] nuxmuncher: that is not related to libdvdcss. so did it install properly? [18:51] yes [18:51] how can I prove this to you? [18:51] Yes I did and it doesn't work well with the Intel card, it works with the Nvidia card only [18:51] i have libdvdcss2 anyway [18:51] anytime I switch to the intel card I get many xserver bugs [18:52] nuxmuncher: if its installed there are still some DVDs with DRM, that are not supported by libdvdcss and linux. [18:52] Hi. [18:52] how can I spot these dvd's? [18:54] nuxmuncher: i dont know. maybe look if others got issues with playing that dvd on linux [18:54] i got issues [18:54] cokeheads! [19:03] win 1 [19:12] Is this command would be good to check if current database from backup does not have any corruption pg_dumpall > /dev/null 2> dump.err ? [19:13] can u suggest another 'flavor' where this works 'out of the box' i think i heard linux mint was good... any other suggestions? [19:14] blowz my mind that I can't play a dvd movie in ubuntu :( [19:16] hi [19:17] nuxmuncher, install vlc [19:17] he's already tried vlc [19:17] nuxmuncher, have you tried other dvds ? and what player are you using ? [19:17] he only has a single dvd disc to try it sounds like [19:17] vlc and rythymbox play audio cds no problem [19:18] which could be a single point of failure [19:18] but dvds not even recognized [19:18] nuxmuncher: sudo apt install inxi [19:18] nuxmuncher: sudo apt install inxi pastebinit [19:18] how old is this machine nuxmuncher? [19:19] nuxmuncher, could be a codec issue, or regionset issue ... and try the default player Videos (totem) [19:19] bought 2013 but it's top notch... 32gig ram [19:19] hello [19:19] nuxmuncher: just hollar at me once install is completed, or if you'd rather keep doing what you've been doing the last hour or so ..have at it [19:19] installed inxi.. now what [19:19] hey remota [19:20] nuxmuncher: you need pastebinit also...that's why i appended it [19:20] tried regionset tweak.. din't work [19:20] How can I get virtualenv to use my zsh prompt?

[19:50] hello [19:50] inafking: sure [19:50] Hi [19:51] inafking: If it is ubuntu as the OS , sure ask away . [19:51] ioria: /dev/sr0 does not show up [19:51] nuxmuncher, ok... what dvd is that ? [19:51] ASUS make [19:51] .. if that's what you're asking. [19:51] nuxmuncher, i mean the disc ... [19:51] I've seen the specs befor [19:52] oh... it's purchased dvd video [19:52] nuxmuncher: try sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt [19:52] no spec's at all otherwise [19:52] wouldn't even know how to verify [19:53] eric: mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 [19:53] Well, the thing is that I've the following xorg.conf [19:53] http://pastebin.com/ZR7m9e3x [19:54] And the Xorg.0.log complained that it didn't detect my card which is an AMDAPU BTW [19:54] nuxmuncher, and no other disc available for testing ?

[19:55] hey [19:55] can anyone see me [19:56] I could about the same settings on another PC but it had a Radeon HD 5450 and worked flawlessly [19:56] jek404: yes [19:56] It detected all my custom modelines [19:56] inafking: reading, in the meantime .. what release is this ? As there is no proprietary drivers in 16.04+ . [19:56] ive had cannot send to channel errors [19:56] Of course, it's 16.04 with the opensource radeon driver [19:57] ioria: i tried another dvd and yes it works.. i feel like a knob.. [19:57] jek404: you might need to register your nick [19:57] i guess the dvd itself is borky [19:57] sincere thanks to everyone here [19:57] I'm working on it but havent been able yet [19:58] nuxmuncher: could be it's not supported as k1l said, try on another operating system if you get the chance [19:58] nuxmuncher, ok [19:58] jek404: /msg nickserv register [19:59] whoops, I read some post about a broken dvd but were directed to other people, LOL [20:00] inafking: Let's back up and regroup ' booting " ro nomodeset " then the fall back driver ( mesa ??) will be used . What is the original issue you are attempting to resolve ? Can we not go back to defaults and see what the problems are ? [20:01] Well, that's what's I was trying to avoid. Use the fallback driver, since I need to use custom modelines that emit in 15Khz for my CRT TV [20:01] Only the radeon driver supports 15Khz resolutions [20:01] Apart from the nvidia driver which I don't have an nvidia card [20:02] I have a laptop that runs both Ubuntu 16.10 and Windows 8.1. Every time I boot up, my system time is always incorrect, regardless of which operating system. It seems to be set about eight months in the past. Why does this happen and what can I do about it? [20:02] BlueProtoman: set the hardware clock maybe [20:02] BlueProtoman: send stock tips to your past self. [20:03] inafking: Well .. ya done jumped over my experience level . but for sure you will need to work out "nomodeset" to use the radeon driver . [20:03] yell0w_viper: Tried that, got angry letters from the SEC. Gonna try telling my past self to bet on the election, though. [20:03] EriC^^: How, in the BIOS? [20:04] BlueProtoman: yes [20:05] EriC^^: Will do next time I boot up, thank you. [20:05] New problem; my webcam doesn't work. I tried several applications (though only on Linux, haven't tried Windows), but nothing recognizes my webcam. [20:05] BlueProtoman: i think you can do it from the terminal too with sudo hwclock --systohc [20:06] it sets the hardware clock to the system clock as per man page [20:06] EriC^^: Huh, fancy that. Next time I boot I'll see if it had an effect, thanks! [20:06] BlueProtoman: no problem [20:07] BlueProtoman: Once the hardware clock is set .. as dual booting . ya might benefit : http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/time-differences-ubuntu-1604-windows-10/ . [20:07] Bashing-om: I'll bet English people never have to deal with that problem [20:08] BlueProtoman: Wrong .. there .. as Windows wants to control the HWclock as local time .. and linux is UTC . [20:08] Bashing-om: But UTC == GMT, right? [20:09] no [20:09] Huh. [20:09] Well, I've been wrong before. [20:09] Anyway, webcam. What do? [20:10] BlueProtoman: Correct .. but Windows does the conversion to local rather then UTC . One has to give to the other to keep the time correct on the respective systems . [20:10] BlueProtoman: seems it's the same but with minor differences [20:12] MOV : ANIS === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [20:17] bsh scrpts?

[20:46] ramikilany: by installing the desktop environment of your choice. [20:46] chris__ you mean hi guys i have issues dual booting windows and ubuntu ?? [20:47] ramikilany: usually you dont run GUI on a server. since you connect through the web/ssh and dont want it to consume the ressources for gui.

[20:56] ramikilany: For connecting via web, you need to setup a webserver. [20:56] I feel like helping with some other questions for a few minutes to get my mind off of the fact I really need to learn systemd :) [20:57] i will tell what i am doing, i work in a hospital and trying to migrate my servers and desktops from Microsoft to ubuntu [20:57] and you know MS as a server are easy to handle === apocolipse_ is now known as apocolipse [20:57] active directories, OU, file system... [20:57] ramikilany: We know thats a lie. :) [20:58] bekks: why! [20:59] ramikilany: So do you actually want a centralized webbased management solution for your Ubuntu servers? [21:00] in the new suite of MS [21:00] ramikilany: MS is irrelevant to this channel. [21:00] they are doing a lot of stuff through powershell [21:01] ramikilany: Which isnt of initerest in here. [21:01] *interest [21:01] so why i don't go as CLI to the more powerful linux [21:01] ramikilany: So just use SSH to administer your linux servers. [21:01] i am trying to find here how i can kick MS and go to ubuntu [21:02] Insert an Ubuntu CD, install it. [21:02] ramikilany: install the ubuntu server. manage that through ssh from your terminal. [21:02] and what is the alternative for the file server? [21:03] ramikilany: a cifs file server. [21:03] ramikilany: called "samba". [21:03] good [21:03] and i already know that LDAP is the alternative for the OU correct? [21:04] ramikilany: There are several full blown solutions out there. One of them is Zentyal. [21:04] it more easy to manage and also powerful as ubuntu server? [21:05] is it* [21:05] ramikilany, I think you need to assess the business function of the servers you want to migrate first [21:06] ramikilany: It is an Ubuntu server. [21:06] very good [21:06] i need a file server and active directory management for the users and groups [21:06] ramikilany: I addition to what ShutterBC said, you need to learn how to use/replace an AD with a samba PDC, too. [21:07] ramikilany: After you successfully migrated from AD to samba PDC, you need to learn how to migrate your fileserver(s). [21:07] Being at a hospital, I can't imagine you have unlimited budget, but keep in mind your maintenance overhead. I would say that it's probably worth trying a migration if you've got some time and a lab set up [21:07] ok dear bekks [21:08] i got some now shutterBC [21:09] and i am trying this due to 2 things [21:09] the first is ubuntu is more stable than MS [21:09] and free === asdfasdf is now known as Barones [21:11] ramikilany, are the workstations going to be converted over too? Do you guys use Exchange? Heavy use of GPO? [21:12] For the record, I do a lot of work with Windows security but at home run Linux equivalents. I'll tell you that I'm too lazy to forklift a heavily customized AD environment, but I might if I were paid. :) [21:12] yes already switch 5 workstations to ubuntu and every thing goes good but they hardly working on libreoffice [21:12] as exchange i use kerio connect [21:13] ramikilany: Which HCIS system do you use? [21:13] local developed [21:13] on foxpro [21:14] ramikilany: I bet Foxpro doesnt run on anything else but MS. [21:14] Hello, I am using an ubuntu machine for a webserver. When I save the file I am working on in windows, in order to run the file I have to chmod the file. I have to do this over and over again it is very annoying. Is this a chown issue? [21:14] and about the gpo not medium use === jstein_ is now known as jstein [21:15] rawfodog: no it's from the fact that ntfs doesn't save permissions that linux uses [21:15] as we are shutterbc we will not get paid [21:15] :) [21:16] ok thanks EriC^^. The ubuntu machine is sharing its file system, not windows. How do I fix this problem? [21:16] rawfodog: windows must be overwriting it then i guess [21:17] rawfodog: you can't do much but chown it everytime or just run it using the script language [21:17] yes indeed bekks [21:17] ramikilany: So you cannot migrate at all. [21:17] so i will install it on a virtual machine [21:18] ramikilany: and you will still need to pay the windows licenses. [21:18] ramikilany: So basically its not worth the effort. [21:19] rawfodog: like bash /path/to/file [21:19] it worth for the next 100 workstations and MS office [21:19] it about 300$ each [21:19] ramikilany: And for every workstation of them using your HCIS, you will need a Windows license, too. [21:20] EriC^^, I am merely using ./script.sh. I should "bash script.sh" ? [21:20] ah, it worked :) [21:20] in my case no, i tried something and went good [21:20] THanks EriC^^ [21:20] rawfodog: run "head -1 script.sh" and see the shebang line with #! [21:20] ramikilany: In every case. When you install Windows in a VM, you need a license, for not breaking the licensing agreement. [21:20] something like xenapp [21:20] secure shell script first is a good way to go ... mk sure you keep the source offline! [21:20] hi [21:21] regarding Foxpro you might get lucky: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=296 [21:21] ramikilany: And XenApp costs a LOT more than your plain Windows. [21:21] Still, your chances of something breaking are high [21:21] just use citrix old client [21:21] chris___: Which isnt supported anymore, at all. [21:21] i had 1 old windows license and i tried built in role like xenapp [21:22] and worked well [21:22] ramikilany: there is no XenApp builtin role in Windows. [21:22] and for the workstations i just open a web link [21:22] well, u can still get it [21:22] it is like xenapp [21:22] in windows it is cold remote session [21:22] kind of ... but less stable and old [21:22] ramikilany: You are talking about the Remote Desktop Server, which needs to be licensed too. [21:22] are you talking about the remote desktop connections to a server? [21:22] ShutterBC: Yes, he is. [21:23] To get more than 2 simultaneous users, you need to license it [21:23] yes [21:23] ramikilany: You need to license that, too. [21:23] but 1 license goes for 50 users [21:23] I've never done it in ubuntu [21:23] ramikilany: No? :) [21:23] try it [21:23] i tried [21:23] ramikilany, you tried 50 concurrent sessions? [21:24] until now up to 27 users [21:24] tomorrow i will continue [21:24] Yeah you can create as many user accounts as you want. just good luck when trying to connect all at once [21:24] ramikilany: So you need 27 User-CALs or 27 Device-CALs. [21:24] ramikilany: But you need to license them. [21:24] Now since I don't know what license you purchased, I can't say for sure what your situation is. [21:25] ^^ what bekks said [21:25] tomorrow i will tell you what kind of license i have [21:25] ramikilany: It will work - for 120 days. Until the activation time is over. [21:25] Best of luck to you. :D [21:26] config rdc server and client [21:26] la [21:26] chris___: For configuring the RDS, you need to license it :P [21:26] chris___: Or you cant use it, after the activation time is over :) [21:26] f*** MS :D [21:27] For all this talk of migrating to Ubuntu from Windows, I'm actually pretty sure I'm going to do this on my work machine again. So long as guest OS 3D acceleration doesn't suck too badly [21:27] as you can turn your face you must pay money [21:27] Yep -- you are paying for "convenience" [21:28] Hey I have to say, I respect RDP a lot. Usually it's pretty good. When I need to stand up servers though, I really don't want nor need the overhead. [21:29] the RDP is very good solution and the resource sharing over it is very good [21:31] lately i know that MS bought the RDP from citrix [21:31] i don't know if is it correct [21:31] Sounds plausible [21:31] ramikilany: you still need to license it :) [21:31] hey guys I was wondering how exaclty I run the command to disable the graphical boot screen? it is workaround A https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen [21:32] i know my friend :( [21:32] I am new to linux. how am i supposed to run that command if I cannot even boot into ubuntu? [21:33] !nomodeset | budder [21:33] budder: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:33] budder, from within the bootloader, you can type c to enter a command-line environment based on busybox. Or e to edit the current boot command [21:34] exit [21:34] instead and i have no idea what is happening. i tried without a .vimrc and in the virtual terminal thing, to the same effect [21:34] does anyone have any idea why this is happening? i use ubuntu 16.10 [21:35] Nitrigaur: so do i basically just hit C to bring up the CLI and then literally just paste " set gfxpayload=text " in it? [21:36] budder: i would first try the "nomodeset" "one time boot" solution from the howto the bot linked [21:36] oh [21:36] budder, no, that would be [e] (the 'e' key on your keyboard) [21:36] hi guys, i have a strange issue. when i open vim on a terminal and press r (for replace), it displays ">[2 q" instead and i have no idea what is happening [21:36] killtheliterate: i am reading that guide now and trying to understand it [21:37] Nitrigaur: okay, so I just hit "e" on boot and then paste that command? [21:37] it does that with vim and neovim, in terminal and ctrl-alt-f1 mode [21:37] so i believe it has to do with my distro [21:37] brotherBox: what are you trying to do [21:38] budder, after hitting 'e' you can edit the line and add it to the existing one, just as the linked article from the always helpful ubottu mentioned. [21:38] Ben64: im trying to use the r key in vim/nvim but it replaces the key on display with something else [21:38] brotherBox: no no, what are you trying to actually accomplish [21:39] Ben64: using vim like i am used to, thats all it is. I am outlining a problem that i notice, give the things i tried to narrow down the source and ask for a solution or ideas [21:39] well if you can't answer this simple question, i can't help you [21:40] i dont know how my response doesnt answer your question, i try to use vim to edit a document and notice strange behaviour [21:40] what part of this is mysterious to you [21:40] because i keep asking you what you're trying to accomplish and you keep dodging the question [21:41] Nitrigaur: nowhere in the guide does it mention the "set gfxpayload=text" command that is on the troubleshooting blank screen wiki page I initially linked [21:41] Got a quick question. How do I create a keyboard shortcut in Ubuntu to autorename all .mp3 files in the current directory of Nautilus ("Files") to 0001.mp3, 0002.mp3, 0003.mp3, etc...? [21:41] im trying to fix the screen display glitch [21:41] brotherBox: wrong TERM? did you maybe mess around with cursor appearance? [21:42] brotherBox: also, I would suggest asking in #vim [21:42] brotherbox, are you trying to replace text? Sound like you are working with a keyboard layout that vim won't understand. (Maybe Dvorak instead of Qwerty? ) [21:42] ledd create an alias for for-next loop, then assign a keyboard key to that alias [21:43] brainwash: i didnt change configurations and use the same terminal software as i did before the glitch started to appear [21:44] Nitrigaur: yes, thats what r in vim does. It used to work fine and i cant notice any differences in keyboard layout, and i would notice because my password depends on special characters that i would not get on other layouts [21:44] also the fact that this happens in both vim and neovim leads me to believe that its related to ubuntu, even though i cant reproduce the behaviour in other software [21:44] brotherBox, if you're on a remote session, what does it think your term variable is set to now? [21:45] brotherBox, (assuming that you are within a GUI desktop environment) do you have a keyboard layout-icon in the top-right corner of your screen? If so, what does it say? [21:45] killtheliterate: the "set gfxpayload=text" command that is in the troubleshooting blank screen wiki page I initially linked is nowhere in the howto guide that ubottu linked. so which do i do? [21:45] (echo $TERM) [21:45] the "set gfxpayload=text" or the" acpi_osi=" [21:46] oh, err, seems like regular old vim doesnt have that behaviour, it seems specific to neovim [21:46] sorry for the confusion, i'll ask in #neovim [21:46] lol OK [21:46] ... [21:46] :D [21:46] brotherbox please open a new terminal and link the output of echo $TERM | nc termbin.com 9999 [21:47] ok, back to dissecting systemd [21:47] MonkeyDust: what does that mean? === rumble is now known as grumble [21:47] ShutterBC, good luck with that O_o [21:47] ledd what does what mean? [21:47] I'm quite annoyed with my 16.04.1 instance right now :) [21:47] MonkeyDust: I have a script that, if it's in the same dir, it renames all the files as I want. But I want it to work in the current Nautilus dir while having the .sh file sit in some other dir. [21:48] MonkeyDust: I already know how to link keyboard to it. [21:49] ledd oh, ok, you can use brackets (...) ... like (cd ~/Music && execute script) ... then the script will be executed in ~/Music, but you stay where you are [21:50] MonkeyDust: I don't want a fixed dir. I want whatever Dir nautilus is currently in. [21:51] MonkeyDust: here is the script: #!/bin/bash [21:51] a=1 [21:51] for i in *.mp3; do [21:51] new=$(printf "%04d.mp3" "$a") #04 pad to length of 4 [21:51] mv -- "$i" "$new" [21:51] let a=a+1 [21:51] ledd then use the absolute path to the script [21:51] ShutterBC, I'm about to try ArchLinux which also uses systemd. I've tried SlackWare, one of the last "major" distros that did not switch to systemdm but I ran into dependency hell and have not looked back since. [21:51] ledd and next time, use a pastebin for multiple lines ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/ === scottt is now known as Guest64925 [21:52] paste.ubuntu.com/23848465/ [21:55] ledd: You could install 'nautilus-actions'. That would give you an option in the context menu. So right click in the folder, run script... https://saravananthirumuruganathan.wordpress.com/2010/08/29/extending-nautilus-context-menus-using-nautilus-actions-scripts-and-python-extensions/ [21:56] minimec: I installed it already. Can't figure out how to put in such a context menu item. [21:56] ledd: There is even a better option without installing anything... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NautilusScriptsHowto [21:57] ledd: In fact I am using this, but did not remember how I did it... ;) [21:57] ledd guess it's easier and faster when you do it in Terminal [22:01] minimec: thanks, that worked. [22:02] hello [22:02] anyone in here? [22:02] guys? girls? [22:02] ledd: no problem. I have to write these kind of solutions down somewhere, because I often froget how I did in the end... [22:04] exit [22:07] can you please help me lovely people [22:07] Nitrigaur, yeah -- usually it's great, but I'm out of practice. I have an iscsi initiator that when set to mount on boot causes the machine to hang during shutdown [22:08] systemd is not correctly waiting for iscsi logout, then kills network, then it's hung [22:08] my ubuntu 16 can't connect to one wifi network only, which other devices can connect to. it's my home's network which has always been working fine. checking using the terminal shows that my card is working fine and I can connect to other networks [22:08] Should I be able to install ubuntu using a distro from 12 years ago and then upgrade it flawlessly to the newest one? [22:08] Worm_in_a_Box no [22:09] I'm connected through my android now -.- [22:09] ShutterBC, that's VERY annoying indeed... [22:10] Worm_in_a_Box: theoretically: yes. but its not worth the effort. just install a actual supported one. === rikki is now known as Guest64931 [22:10] The box won't allow usb boots. [22:11] And I don't have virgin cds. [22:11] Worm_in_a_Box: there is cd/dvd or pxe [22:12] wadie: Did you configure something on the router on the home network. Could it be that you accidentally blocked the MAC address of your computer? [22:12] I don't have access to the router [22:12] wadie: Ok. [22:12] neither physicaly nor remotely [22:12] but connecting using my phone is fine and I can connect to other networks on ubuntu [22:14] and it just happened today that I can't connect simply after booting up, didn't touch a thing [22:14] Good day, Peoples, i want help, how to connect Failover (New IP) to old system?

[22:18] hi there, I have HP Zbook 15G3 and I want to 1. boot if off USB stick (in live or installed on USB mode), 2. boot it in secure UEFI mode [22:19] there is multiple problems on the way, however, either about graphics card (startx in live mode will hang the system) [22:19] Xz, where you stuck? [22:19] and also secure mode seems very nasty [22:20] Village: well, I tried many things already, first and most important, I installed from live USB stick to another USB stick and was able to boot fine in secure mode [22:20] Xz: there should not be any need to run startx. some video cards do need nomodeset to be used [22:20] !nomodeset | Xz [22:20] Xz: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen.

[22:21] secure mode issues with graphic card? [22:21] Village: so i installed from live USB stick to target (another) USB stick [22:21] Village: Ubu 16.04LTS [22:22] Village: and was able to get it to boot in UEFI secure mode fin e [22:22] Village: but then I rebooted laptop off SSD where my win10 + bitlocker sits (they have to stay there) [22:22] Village: UEFI refused to boot that, it said some policy changed [22:22] Village: then in BIOS I spotted new entry on a boot list called 'ubuntu' [22:23] Village: I changed the order, so that entry 'ubuntu' was second, not first anymore [22:23] It's strange situation try small of it to target [22:23] Village: that helped with Win10+bitlocker - so it fixed my Win10 [22:23] Village: but then I cannot anymore boot from USB stick I instlaled UBUNTU on [22:23] Village: what does that mean? 'small of it to target' ? [22:24] Village: by the way, that 'ubuntu' entry is gone from BIOS now [22:24] Hm, it's boot loader, between systems, but why they issues between ich ones [22:24] Village: I don't know what it was, but bitlocker was pissed, so maybe bitlocker removed that? [22:24] Village: it's a work laptop with default corporate build on SSD, so it has to stay [22:25] Village: I want to use the laptop at home with UBUNTU on it, so the only option is to boot off USB [22:25] Village: or Ethernet/WiFI (PXE mode maybe) [22:25] I think first it's BIOS like and you feel, i forget future problems, but you can try from zero if you have backups [22:25] I not more of basic, but system must help if feel that you going right way [22:25] Village: well, I cannot touch BIOS and SSD [22:26] Village: because it has to work with corporate build that's on it right now [22:26] Village: I can switch to legacy mode, then it will probably work [22:26] Village: but I don't want to switch everytime I boot between legacy and secure mode === bitch is now known as ________________ [22:27] BIOS right, SSD right, so first C, Windows, then loader, then Ubuntu, then boot windows set loader looks D, if E+ Data, and when run your not new system, after BIOS loader give you take choise between two OS [22:28] I loaded kernel .45 and there's no wifi connection at all there, so I'm back on .47 === ________________ is now known as Bitch [22:28] minimec [22:28] Village: are you telling me to add UBUNTU to windows boot loader? === Bitch is now known as bitch [22:30] wadie: ok.

[22:53] and the other one works fine, I'm connected to it using my phone and my gf's laptop [22:54] I know the processor is connected to an FTDI serial to USB device. [22:54] But I can't figure out what in /dev is the associated serial port. [22:55] So you, MarkB2, absesed by Joule? I don't understand over USB connection is air, and from Box to Device it's not very hard traffic of data, between USB and WiFi [22:55] Village, I didn't quite understand that.. [22:56] ed [22:56] The Joule is a relatively new system-on-module .. am still getting the hang of it. [22:56] So i'm basic your are in issue, i don't know, you must know point of your issue [22:56] 1. I faced with problem at this point [22:57] I suppose the issue is "which /dev/ttyS* port is associated with the connection to that USB device. [22:58] hola [22:58] Hm, so issue is right choice right connection between devices [22:58] Yep. [22:59] And you can't connect it becuse not are right cable? [22:59] Nope. The cable is correct. I need to open the connection on the Joule side for a special application. [22:59] putty maybe [23:00] * MarkB2 wonders if the Joule has putty... [23:01] Cable alright, so soft of devices comunication, then be good it that soft keeps the your comunicate with devices [23:03] good luck, MarkB2, if your destination is right [23:03] Village, thanks. [23:04] Hey guys - im running a 14.04 on which recently a /swapfile appeared. Is this the case, if there is no dedicated swap partition? [23:04] Also - is it safe to remove this file? [23:13] dym: Is this file 0 bytes, or has some size, and it is showing up as active in free's output? [23:14] Hello, i need to delete a very big ammount of files (~2tb (there is a lot of small files)), i have googled and tryed rsync method, find with xarg, rm -rf and so on, it deleting files really slow [23:14] may be there is any other method? [23:14] this is an backuppc server and i need to delete trash folder :) [23:15] it`s raid10 with 24 1tb drives [23:16] dym: If you don't want it, then: sync; sync; swapoff /swapfile, then edit /etc/fstab and either remove or comment it out. [23:16] grauzikas: Hi. [23:17] grauzikas: Do you need to remove everything, or just selected files/directories? [23:17] minimec, it fixed itself lol just tried randomly and it worked! [23:17] i cant umount partition and reformat it [23:17] because it have more files what i need [23:17] yes i need to delete /var/lib/Backuppc/trash [23:18] so i cant just umount /var/lib/Backuppc and reformat it [23:18] wadie: Cool. And... Don't ask why... Just enjoy... ;) [23:18] haha exactly [23:18] grauzikas: Right. [23:18] grauzikas: If this is a particular directory you are after, or a collection of them. [23:19] I'm going to bed, have a good one people [23:19] grauzikas: Then you could parallelize the deletion. [23:19] what you mean by "parallelize" [23:19] grauzikas: For example with e.g. xargs, parallel, and even with sending the job to background using & in Bash shell. [23:20] i have tryed all methods from there :) http://www.slashroot.in/which-is-the-fastest-method-to-delete-files-in-linux [23:20] it will take few days for me [23:20] at least :) [23:21] Let me check. [23:21] and i cant start new backups because it eats ~12WA even there is a raid10 [23:21] i think i need update my server and add ssd drive for trash directory [23:21] grauzikas: Perhaps. [23:22] then i could simply umount/mkfs that partition [23:22] grauzikas: If you write a small script, which would use a combination of find/xargs or find/parallel. [23:23] grauzikas: Then you can fire it up with bash process that has lower IO nice. [23:23] grauzikas: This way it would not hammer your RAID10. [23:24] grauzikas: https://linux.die.net/man/1/ionice [23:24] strange, but when i`m deleting files i can see via iotop that read speed is ~1-8 MB/s [23:24] write sometimes goes up to 17M/s but very some times [23:24] it`s really slow [23:25] grauzikas: https://linux.die.net/man/1/nice [23:25] It depends on the file system, its settings, etc. [23:25] If you do not want the remove to affect your daily work-load, then just ionice it :) [23:26] ok, thank you matti i`ll try it [23:27] grauzikas: One second. [23:27] yes [23:30] yo [23:30] YES fixed my iscsi issue, suck it systemd [23:31] grauzikas: Sorry, I was looking up something. [23:31] grauzikas: There are some options you could tweak under /proc, to improve performance of deletions. [23:31] actually kinda liking systemd after getting to know it better. [23:32] what kind? [23:32] grauzikas: But, the safest way to go about it to keep balance between safety and daily work-load, would be ionice'd parallel remove. [23:33] apt install php wants to install php7.1 but i want 7.0. How do I do that? [23:34] Bent0: sudo apt install php7.0 ;) [23:34] grauzikas: Read about vm.dirty_ratio, vm.dirty_background_ratio, vm.vfs_cache_pressure, etc. [23:34] Bent0: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=php7.0&searchon=names [23:34] That is installed [23:34] I can even do php -v [23:34] and it shows its version is 7.0 [23:35] !info php xenial [23:35] php (source: php-defaults (35ubuntu6)): server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (default). In component main, is optional. Version 1:7.0+35ubuntu6 (xenial), package size 2 kB, installed size 11 kB [23:35] Bent0: so you got ppas or other 3rd party repos enabled? [23:35] Bent0: So remove the 'php' package [23:35] yes [23:35] grauzikas: In your case, the way how VFS usually works is working a bit against you. [23:35] andrejs PHP repo [23:35] Bent0: so what is the surprise then? [23:36] grauzikas: Plus, most of the tools would do a dreaded stat() to read metadata about the file. [23:36] Trying to install a package for 7.0 but it complains about needing php [23:36] grauzikas: Which in a large volume scenario slows down everything. [23:36] Bent0: you run a non original ubuntu php version. that can break the dependecies of other ubuntu packages [23:36] Hi [23:37] Is anyone here? [23:37] My ubuntu system has four serial ports, /dev/ttyS[0-3]. I can't get putty to initialize any of them. [23:37] Not even when sudo'ed. [23:39] There has gotta be a way to find out which /device is major/minor to the physical serial port(s). [23:41] Hello :) [23:41] grauzikas: I wish there was a nice LRU, circular-buffer, capped (you name it) file system (either native or via FUSE) which you could cap at either n files or older than some amount of days. [23:42] Quick question, I want to edit a file in a GUI editor but I don't know how to navigate to the file location through the GUI interface. How would I find ~/.sopel in my files? [23:42] MarkB2: So, you are using PuTTY on Linux as a serial terminal emulator? [23:43] Kleineganz: copy the location + file out of the terminal and then click open in the editor and paste in the text in the filename field [23:43] MarkB2: Try to see whether minicom works over PuTTY. [23:43] should open it just fine [23:43] ! matti: I didn't think of minicom. Thanks.. will try. [23:44] Kleineganz: ~ is short for "users home". the folders and files starting with a . are hidden by default. press ctrl+h to see them [23:45] ah there it is. Thanks k1l [23:45] MarkB2: I am suggesting minicom, as I am not entirely sure how to debug PuTTY on Linux. [23:45] MarkB2: And minicom a de-factor standard tool for fiddling with serial consoles. [23:45] MarkB2: So at least we would know that it's not the tool you are having issue with. [23:46] MarkB2: Also, check dmesg (kernel ring buffer) to see whether your serial port driver got loaded and initialised. [23:47] minicom thinks the serial port is /dev/tty8. Will check dmesg output... Pardon: What's the name of the serial port driver module? [23:47] MarkB2: Depends on whether it is serial or USB-serial. [23:48] MarkB2: You can grep output for "tty" I suppose. [23:48] You can try to do a sweep with setserial as setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0123456789]. [23:49] Should I trust unetbtin? [23:50] There's a line in dmesg output saying that it found a Serial port driver. ah. matti: THANK YOU. I'll try that. [23:50] Worm_in_a_Box: no. [23:51] MarkB2: It is a bit fiddly process usually, but once you get it working then it is fine. [23:51] Why? [23:51] MarkB2: So, you can try minicom -s and see how it goes from there. [23:52] Worm_in_a_Box: they are known to change the isos to include their own boot screen which causes error so the usb doesnt boot. when you are on windows and want to create a ubuntu usb use rufus and load the ubuntu iso manually [23:52] k1l: I am using it to load lubuntu without a cd or pen. [23:53] Worm_in_a_Box: you use pxe boot? [23:54] nope [23:54] Worm_in_a_Box: but? [23:56] It is supposed to allow me to init the iso from the hard drive through their boot manager. [23:57] Worm_in_a_Box: i am not familiar with that [23:58] matti: setserial -g /dev/ttyS[012345678] doesn't find any uarts. Weird. So it's somewhere else? [23:58] can anyone help me with trying to resolve the booting to a black screen issue? i hit "e" and I get here but I don't know what to change or edit http://imgur.com/a/Ygkxm [23:59] budder: Don't suppose you're using a nvidia graphics card, are you? [23:59] Arcaire: i am [23:59] Heh. [23:59] gtx 750 ti
