| WW36 | Tried to install Lubuntu a couple times. Keeps stating an error that dev/sda could not be installed. Any suggestions? | 01:31 |
|---|---|---|
| xangua | And that happens when? | 01:43 |
| budder | hello | 02:25 |
| budder | i can't find lubuntu 15.04 | 02:25 |
| krytarik | !15.04 | 02:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 15.04 (Vivid Vervet) was the 22nd release of Ubuntu. Support ended on February 4, 2016. See !eol, !eolupgrade and http://ubottu.com/y/vivid | 02:26 |
| budder | i mean i can't find the DL link | 02:29 |
| krytarik | Well, you shouldn't download it anymore. | 02:30 |
| budder | why is that? | 02:31 |
| krytarik | Because, like I had the bot tell you, it's EOL for a year now. | 02:32 |
| budder | my CPU is affected by a bug and I can't use Kernel 4.x | 02:34 |
| LuMint | budder: go for 14.04 | 02:35 |
| LuMint | like I do | 02:35 |
| budder | so i am resorting to an older release | 02:35 |
| LuMint | it's supported as opposed to 15.04 which is totally deprecated | 02:35 |
| LuMint | budder: what's the cpu? | 02:36 |
| budder | LuMint: i believe the LTS enablement stack makes it so taht 14.04 still have the updated kernel | 02:36 |
| LuMint | only if you want it to | 02:36 |
| budder | LuMint: celeron n2940. | 02:37 |
| LuMint | you have a choice, 3.13, 3,16, 4,{4,5 - not sure} | 02:37 |
| budder | https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109051 | 02:37 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 109051 in intel_idle "intel_idle.max_cstate=1 required on baytrail to prevent crashes" [Blocking,Needinfo] | 02:37 |
| budder | LuMint: wut | 02:37 |
| budder | do you mean I can still have 14.04 but retain the 3.x kernel? | 02:38 |
| budder | idk what this enablement stack is. i'm very new to linux in general | 02:38 |
| LuMint | budder: didn't I told you that? | 02:38 |
| LuMint | uname-a: Linux office-desktop 3.13.0-107-generic #154-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 19 19:20:26 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux | 02:39 |
| LuMint | convinced? | 02:39 |
| budder | LuMint: wait a second, so it is OPTIONAL to use the newer kernel? can you please link me to some more information on this? and how about going to do this? | 02:40 |
| LuMint | yes. google/duck it. install 14.04 | 02:41 |
| krytarik | budder: Just get the 14.04.1 release, it has the initial kernel still. | 02:42 |
| budder | duck it> | 02:44 |
| budder | LuMint: duck it? | 02:44 |
| LuMint | ducduckgo.com | 02:44 |
| budder | krytarik: ok | 02:44 |
| budder | thanks both of you | 02:45 |
| budder | wait LuMint are you also affected by the same bug? | 02:45 |
| LuMint | no I'm affected by a different bug, which is not really a bug but a dropped support for my GPU drivers. | 02:46 |
| LuMint | so I can't use anything newer than 3.7 and still have nvidia-173 proprietary drivers | 02:46 |
| LuMint | well actually, I can if I used arch or if I somehow ported the patches from aur to enable it. | 02:47 |
| LuMint | but that's technicalities. | 02:47 |
| LuMint | why bother if 3.13 is still supported | 02:47 |
| budder | got it... mostly | 02:48 |
| budder | thnx again | 02:49 |
| LuMint | 14.04 is supported for at least two more years. | 02:50 |
| Vialas_ | hello everyone | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | hope you are all well | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | first time in here... i installed Lubuntu for the first time today ... wohooo | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | i already have a question.. if i may | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | Q is : how do i update the kernal on my raspberry pi ? | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | sudo apt-get install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader | 05:35 |
| Vialas_ | is that the correct command i should use? i would use this on say my normal ubuntu box... unsure about how it works on lubuntu for RasPi | 05:36 |
| wxl | Vialas_: are you trying to reinstall your kernel or update it? because that command doesn't update anything. just reinstalls it. it also doesn't refer to the kernel, but the bootloader. | 05:37 |
| Vialas_ | rofl ok so i have no idea what im doing rofl | 05:38 |
| Vialas_ | i want to update my kernal | 05:38 |
| wxl | so just run updates like normal and it will take care of it | 05:38 |
| wxl | sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade | 05:38 |
| Vialas_ | according to a podcast i head there was a security issue with the Raspi Krnal | 05:38 |
| Vialas_ | oh not apt-get? | 05:39 |
| wxl | what security issue? | 05:39 |
| wxl | apt is a nicer version of apt-get | 05:39 |
| Vialas_ | oh i never used apt before hehe | 05:40 |
| Vialas_ | i am not sure of the specifics - was on a podcast let me check... | 05:40 |
| wxl | found it https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3170-2/ | 05:42 |
| Vialas_ | wow | 05:43 |
| Vialas_ | how you find it so fast :O | 05:43 |
| wxl | all the security issues in ubuntu are listed under ubuntu.com/usn | 05:43 |
| wxl | anyways if your isp doesn't support ipv6, i wouldn't even worry about it | 05:43 |
| Vialas_ | oh cool cool | 05:43 |
| wxl | still, it's good to fix it | 05:43 |
| Vialas_ | yea | 05:43 |
| Vialas_ | and you know what | 05:43 |
| wxl | what kernel you have now? uname -a | 05:44 |
| Vialas_ | i did the dist-upgrade | 05:44 |
| Vialas_ | i do that quite religiously | 05:44 |
| wxl | then yeah, no need to sweat | 05:44 |
| wxl | it | 05:44 |
| Vialas_ | oh haha sweet :) | 05:44 |
| wxl | security updates are always the highest priority | 05:44 |
| Vialas_ | i am running 4.1.19-v7+ | 05:44 |
| lynorian | yes if you dist-upgrade everyday you probably are much better patched than most companies | 05:44 |
| Vialas_ | woot woot | 05:44 |
| wxl | oh so you're a bit behind | 05:44 |
| wxl | you're on xenial? | 05:45 |
| Vialas_ | ive thought about doing sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -Y on a crhon job :P | 05:45 |
| wxl | cuz THAT issue only affects yakkety | 05:45 |
| Vialas_ | raspberry pi | 05:45 |
| wxl | lsb_release -a | 05:45 |
| wxl | what version of lubuntu | 05:45 |
| Vialas_ | i thought i was on the msot up to date version :( | 05:45 |
| Vialas_ | ubuntu 16.04 | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | xenial | 05:46 |
| wxl | yep xenial | 05:46 |
| wxl | so there's no issues for you anyways :) | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | 16.04.1 | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | woot woot | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | why am i behind then :( | 05:46 |
| wxl | yeah i'm a little shocked as to why you're behind | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | :( | 05:46 |
| Vialas_ | i just installed it today | 05:47 |
| Vialas_ | literaly | 05:47 |
| wxl | try dpkg -l | grep -E 'linux-image-.*-[0-9]+' | 05:48 |
| wxl | that'll list all the kernels you have installed | 05:48 |
| wxl | oh bother remove the -.* | 05:48 |
| wxl | that'll just show up the extra package which is irrelevant | 05:48 |
| wxl | you might still be running the original kernel even though you updated to the new noe | 05:49 |
| Vialas_ | one sec | 05:51 |
| Vialas_ | dpkg -l | 05:54 |
| Vialas_ | is that a L or a pipe? | 05:54 |
| LuMint | l | 05:54 |
| LuMint | u should install a normal font | 05:55 |
| Vialas_ | im on a mac :( | 05:55 |
| Vialas_ | lol | 05:55 |
| Vialas_ | there is NO normal | 05:55 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: besides, there couldn't be TWO pipes in a row | 05:55 |
| Vialas_ | oh lol | 05:55 |
| LuMint | and a pipe preceded by dash will presumably not work | 05:56 |
| LuMint | well, it does. | 05:56 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: but that dash can potentially cause all kinda weird thigns so you don't use | with - before it :) | 05:56 |
| LuMint | wxl: forgive my curiousity, but what does + sign do? | 05:58 |
| wxl | LuMint: regex for "one or more" of the previous character | 05:59 |
| wxl | could have used * for zero or more but that'd be weird :) | 06:01 |
| Vialas_ | dpkg -l | grep -E 'linux-image-[0-9]+' | 06:02 |
| Vialas_ | didnt give any output | 06:02 |
| LuMint | that's weird | 06:04 |
| LuMint | try dpkg -l | grep linux-image | 06:04 |
| Vialas_ | nothing... | 06:04 |
| wxl | um | 06:04 |
| LuMint | wxl: thanks, didn't know one can mix it with * ? [] and {}, that is bash stuff | 06:05 |
| wxl | try grepping just for just linux | 06:05 |
| Vialas_ | ? | 06:05 |
| LuMint | dpkg -l | grep linux | 06:05 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: | 06:05 |
| wxl | LuMint: [0-9] is actually NOT bash stuff. that's regex. the fact that the regex is contained within single quotes indicates that bash will not attempt to expand it | 06:05 |
| wxl | e.g. `echo '$SHELL'` won't show you your shell | 06:06 |
| Vialas_ | bingo | 06:06 |
| Vialas_ | we have output :) | 06:06 |
| LuMint | wxl: ty | 06:06 |

| Vialas_ | hey i have to duck out real quick... do you mind if i come back and continue | 06:08 |
| Vialas_ | or are you going to leave soon? | 06:08 |
| Vialas_ | sorry for being anoying :$ | 06:08 |
| wxl | i'm about out | 06:08 |
| Vialas_ | ok | 06:08 |
| wxl | but still very confused | 06:08 |
| Vialas_ | im very confused myself :( | 06:08 |
| Vialas_ | maybey we can continue tomorrow :D | 06:08 |
| wxl | k | 06:08 |
| LuMint | wouldn't think arm stuff would be so complicated | 06:09 |
| wxl | i'm about to ragequit mode anyways (not your fault) | 06:09 |
| LuMint | why? | 06:09 |
| * wxl smells sarcasm on LuMint's breath | 06:09 | |
| Vialas_ | :( | 06:09 |
| Vialas_ | dont ragequit | 06:09 |
| Vialas_ | you seem too nice to rage!!! | 06:09 |
| wxl | oh i'm having issues with an image not behaving properly on a virtual machine | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | oh golly | 06:10 |
| wxl | it's a figure of speech of course Vialas_ :) | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | story of my life | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | thats good wxl :) | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | hehe | 06:10 |
| LuMint | yeah, don't, you are by far one of the most helpful and nice people here | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | i gave up using debian | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | hence why im now using lubuntu | 06:10 |
| wxl | well welcome to ubuntu :) | 06:10 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: what was wrong with your debian? | 06:10 |
| Vialas_ | thanks wxl | 06:10 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: problems with something proprietary/firmware? | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | well it is a pain to install, when i do install it the graphcis drivers dont work | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | yes exactaly LuMint | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | i use ubuntu and it just works | 06:11 |
| LuMint | you should just add the nonfree repo | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | i tried LuMint ... didnt seem to work | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | i like Lubuntu im just woried about the conical stuff in it :S | 06:11 |
| LuMint | weird | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | very weird | 06:11 |
| LuMint | canonical? | 06:11 |
| LuMint | conical? | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | yea | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | :$ | 06:11 |
| Vialas_ | lol | 06:11 |
| wxl | the only stuff canonical owns is the trademarks | 06:12 |
| wxl | like "lubuntu" | 06:12 |
| wxl | as far as actual code, not really | 06:12 |
| Vialas_ | fewwwwww | 06:12 |
| Vialas_ | and no amazon crapware on lubuntu | 06:12 |
| Vialas_ | or that stupid unity | 06:12 |
| * Vialas_ vomits | 06:12 | |
| Vialas_ | sorry everyone... ill clean it up | 06:12 |
| wxl | i mean they have their pet projects like um | 06:13 |
| wxl | man i can't think of the name of the darn thing now hahaha | 06:13 |
| wxl | i keep wanting to say upstream | 06:13 |
| wxl | upstart! | 06:13 |
| wxl | that's it | 06:13 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: what are you going to do with your raspberry? | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | hmm ok | 06:13 |
| LuMint | wxl: not anymore :( | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | well i have heaps of pis | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | lol | 06:13 |
| wxl | but those are things they push upstream as well, so it's not really proprietary | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | i am an adict | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | 1 is a VPN server | 06:13 |
| wxl | LuMint: yeah yeah | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | another is a every day linux box | 06:13 |
| LuMint | upstart is almost deprecated by now | 06:13 |
| xangua | Lubuntu does use the "indicators" | 06:13 |
| LuMint | will probably only be supported until 19' | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | another i use as an intranet webserver | 06:13 |
| xangua | That's a canonical stuff | 06:13 |
| Vialas_ | xangua whatis an "indicators" | 06:14 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: do you ssh into it? | 06:14 |
| Vialas_ | yep | 06:14 |
| Vialas_ | SSH all the way | 06:14 |
| LuMint | I see | 06:14 |
| Vialas_ | love ssh! | 06:14 |
| wxl | xangua: if you're referring to some aspect of unity, even that's open sourced | 06:14 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: btw you can do that with a vmware VM | 06:14 |
| LuMint | and forward X, too | 06:14 |
| Vialas_ | what u mean LuMint ? | 06:14 |
| lynorian | Well you can run lubuntu in lubuntu with virt manager | 06:14 |
| xangua | Vialas_: indicators are like notification icons/area but "better" | 06:15 |
| wxl | yes but can you run lubuntu in lubuntu in lubuntu? | 06:15 |
| Vialas_ | xangua right... | 06:15 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: i mean you don't need a dedicated linux box to be able to use it from windows. | 06:15 |
| wxl | good use of quotes, xangua | 06:15 |
| Vialas_ | yea LuMint but i like to have a linux box | 06:15 |
| LuMint | understood | 06:15 |
| Vialas_ | mac is propiatary and leeeks tooooo much info | 06:15 |
| Vialas_ | i like linux | 06:15 |
| Vialas_ | :D | 06:15 |
| LuMint | Vialas_: well block he hell out of it with a firewall on the router | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | ok time for dinner | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | hope i get to talk to you all soon | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | block it? | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | how so LuMint ? | 06:16 |
| LuMint | yeah, unwanted ips/servers | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | mmm true | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | oh these servers | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | sorry | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | they are at my house | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | i own them | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | so behind my router | 06:16 |
| Vialas_ | safe :D | 06:16 |
| wxl | or better yet set up a freebsd box with pf on it and block everything! | 06:16 |
| LuMint | openbsd would be a more secure choice, I guess | 06:17 |
| LuMint | since a router doesn't really need anything GUI | 06:17 |
| LuMint | or pretty much any user software | 06:17 |
| Vialas_ | yay... ok lesson learnt dont talk to fast and hit enter.... Drone` will not be happy wiht you | 06:19 |
| wxl | XD | 06:19 |
| Vialas_ | ok got to run | 06:19 |
| Vialas_ | hope to talk to you all very soon. thanks wxl and LuMint and otehrs :) | 06:19 |
| Vialas_ | bbl | 06:19 |
| wxl | ta | 06:19 |
| LuMint | see you | 06:20 |
| LuMint | wxl: incidentally, do you happen to know if it's possible to apply a patch from aur so I could use nvidia-173 with a kernel newer than 3.7 (3.13 in fact)? | 06:20 |
| LuMint | the arch guys somehow managed to get it working with new kernels | 06:20 |
| wxl | LuMint: never tried, but i'm sure it will need some massaging | 06:20 |
| wxl | ok that's it | 06:21 |
| * wxl kicks the virtual machine to the curb and goes to bed | 06:21 | |
| LuMint | good night | 06:22 |

| dminca | hi guys | 13:20 |
| dminca | is the `dbus-launch` command supposed to fork multiple pids of `dbus-daemon` ? | 13:20 |
| dminca | because I'm having 914 dbus-daemon pids | 13:21 |
| dminca | and I don't want to killall as I'll fuck up systemd | 13:21 |
| dminca | what's the best approach in this case? How can I launch a process via `dbus-launch` without making it to fork so many `dbus-daemon` pids | 13:22 |
| Gochy | Hi, I need some help with a problem while upgrading from 14.04 LT to 16.04 LTS | 16:25 |
| RainMan28 | Hi, I am trying to run a command via a Lubuntu LiveUSB and when I do it with sudo it tells me: 'dd: failed to open '/dev/sda': Permission denied'. Any idea what I am doing wrong? | 20:00 |
| RainMan28 | I am logged in as the lubuntu user | 20:00 |
| RainMan28 | My command is: sudo xzcat file.img.xz | dd of=/dev/sda bs=1M | 20:01 |
| krytarik | RainMan28: Move the 'sudo' after the pipe, to the 'dd' - then it should work. | 20:02 |
| RainMan28 | oh i see, thank you | 20:03 |
| krytarik | Sure. | 20:03 |
| RainMan28 | that is working, krytarik, thanks! | 20:03 |
| krytarik | Welcome. | 20:03 |
