Things are mostly AOK, but the screen is a little too dim. Linux/Unity/X responds to the kb screen brightness buttons by showing the slider under the panel, but the brightness stays unchanged. Likewise in the prefs utility. Does anyone know of a way to address this? I realize it might be a driver problem. [02:44] tubal: same behaviour on a 16.04.1? [02:47] !dmesg | tubal anything usefull in your logs? [02:47] tubal anything usefull in your logs?: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. [02:47] I didn't use 16.04. Coming back to Linux after several years away. lotuspsychje [02:48] tubal: i would strongly advise also a fresh reainstall with 16.04.1 LTS just to compare if your issue persist there also [02:50] dmesg doesn't seem to have anything to say about it, lotuspsychje. [02:50] nor tail -f /var/log/syslog [02:51] tubal: can you trace acpi issues in the logs? [02:51] would that be in syslog? [02:51] tubal: yes [02:52] what's the paste site?

[03:12] Launchpad bug 1418706 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "UEFI: blank drive incorrectly detected as existing BIOS-mode install" [Critical,Triaged] [03:14] of course it doesn't boot [03:14] Darn, who was I speaking with just before? [03:15] although this might be specific to this laptop though *sigh* no EFI boot record, because who needs that! [03:17] tubal: did it work? [03:19] ah lotuspsychje 1 I was poring over the userlist... [03:20] yes and no. The brightness is back, but the buttons are still ineffectual. Also, more strange plus/minus chars, see http://imgur.com/jKXYFlU [03:20] they appear when i try to brighten-up. [03:20] not dim-down.

[03:48] lotuspsychje: adding the last argument in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_backlight=vendor" to /etc/default/grub restored the brightness. And creating the xorg.conf.d file as http://askubuntu.com/a/859480 restored the controls.

I'm having trouble getting my ethernet connection to work with a fresh install of 16.04. I've done what every StackOverflow (and others) post has suggested, but I still can't get it to work. Any help is appreciated. :) [05:54] What are you connecting to? [05:55] I've tried installing other OS's (e.g. Fedora) but they aren't able to connect with ethernet either. I remember having an ethernet connectio before I upgraded from 14.04 but since I don't want to back to that I haven't tried it. Any other hints? [05:55] I'm connecting to a modem directly.

[05:58] 16.04 on a Dell laptop, two external screens; for some reason it tends to forget the screen layout - I send it to suspend with all three screens aligned next to each other and when waking up, it decides that all displays should be mirrored. [05:58] Seemingly it also moves some windows around, so they are irretrievable even after restoring the old layout. [06:00] Is there a way to quickly force the screen layout rather than manually having to pull them in their places again, or to even lock it, so it won't automatically be changed? This laptop is mostly used in a fixed location, so I don't mind having to manually switch between layouts. [06:02] * Sean_McG does the Harlem Shake [06:03] wtf is the Harlem Shake?

In the keybindings setting in Unity, it's mapped to what I what. [10:18] I'm trying to use sed to create an sed pattern from a template. Any good hints on how to make this easier (especially along the lines of special character escaping etc.)? [10:20] SlashLife^m: maybe this could help you? https://regex101.com/ [10:21] akik: Nope. [10:23] Actually ... this is probably not the right place to ask this in the first place. :) === Ubuntu is now known as Guest15405 [10:40] hello [10:43] whats up niggers [10:45] :') [10:47] some people .. :P [10:47] test [10:47] tian_, we see you [10:47] do you have a question for us? [10:47] no , [10:47] ok ;) [11:04] halo === Strider is now known as backbox === backbox is now known as Strider === Fleet is now known as Guest12658 [11:09] ppf: Thanks for you help, the other day. I got the interface to work with all the right IPs. However, I just noticed that it doesn't bring them all up after a reboot (which in turn make apache, postfix, etc. fail). What did I do wrong? [11:10] jink: how do you configure them now? [11:12] ppf: Like you said. iface ens3 inet static \ address \ netmask \ gateway \ iface ens3 inet static \ address \ netmask. And then the same for inet6 (gateway once, 3 ips) [11:13] so via /etc/interfaces. can you paste that somewhere? [11:14] Sure, any preference where?

[11:14] ppf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23910363/ [11:16] wich logs would show issues on switching workspaces? cant switch to programs anymore, have to manually click the workspaces to go there [11:17] syslog doesnt show anything usefull on 16.04.1 ubuntu desktop [11:17] Hello, I'm trying to make x0vncserver boot on startup via systemd service, but every time it fails with "status=1/FAILURE". It fails only on startup, if I log in and start it manually, it works fine. [11:20] jink: and what precisely happens when you (or the boot sequence) runs ifup -a? [11:20] ppf: Should I down it first? [11:20] sure why not [11:21] hello all. how can i do "ls -ltr|cut -f8 -d' '" when the amount of spaces isn't always the same? is there a "delimiter = any whitespace" flag? so space space is treated the same as space? [11:21] ppf: Postfix interferes, hold on, while I "kill all the things". [11:23] j2daosh: don't parse ls [11:23] ppf: "Waiting for DAD... Done" 3 times. [11:23] ppf: And "ip addr" shows what it's supposed to show. [11:24] alright. can you check dmesg for the ifup output during boot? [11:24] I figured out my VNC service fails because '/usr/bin/x0vncserver: unable to open display ":0"', what could be the cause here [11:25] kamild1996: because :0 doesn't exist until you log in [11:25] kamild1996: probably no X running on display :0 [11:25] Ben64: it must not have had enough coffee yet. If i just need to get a list of files that match a certain criteria or if i am grepping a tab delimited file or checking anything with differeing amounts of whitespace in their line, how can i do that with cut? [11:26] How do I make the VNC server autostart so it's available on login screen then? [11:26] j2daosh: well if you're trying to do something with files, you should probably be using find [11:27] ppf: I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I only see virtio_net virtio0 ens3: renamed from eth0 [11:27] j2daosh: but you probably don't want cut anyway, probably better with awk [11:28] j2daosh: or find [11:28] jink: paste the dmesg output [11:28] sure, i could perl it up and @results = `ls -ltr`;foreach $line (@results){ chomp($line); $value = (split(/\s+/, $line))[$column_I_want]; print "$value\n";} but that just seems way over doing it just to get some trivial text out of the console [11:29] who said anything about perl [11:29] What coding language do I need to know to get the most out of linux/ ubuntu? [11:29] and really, don't use ls for stuff like this [11:29] kamild1996: instead of x0vncserver, you could use lightdms builtin one [11:29] leograth: don't think the two are really intertwined [11:29] loegrath: don't really need to know any, but C I guess? [11:30] ppf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23910403/ [11:30] Well where in the world do I start learning with regards in coding for Linux/ Ubuntu? [11:30] ok, forget LS then. say i have a tab delimited CSV and i want to quickly pull out the 3rd column. [11:30] already answered that [11:30] I'd like to get some hands on experience with coding around this OS. [11:30] cat $file|cut -f3 -d'\t' [11:31] Feb 02 2017 03:27:43 j2daosh: but you probably don't want cut anyway, probably better with awk [11:31] loegrath: first pick a project, then pick a language [11:31] awk -F'\t' '{print $3}' file [11:31] wtf is awk [11:31] there's no dependence on the OS [11:31] i'll google [11:32]
