[00:11] <tiblock> Hi. I have newbie question. I have big HDD mounted under /mnt/hdd/ and there is dir /mnt/hdd/a/b/c and i want to allow one user to access only that one dir without allowing accessing all other stuff on /mnt/hdd. How i can do that? As i understand user must have permission to whole /mnt/hdd to get there. But i don't want it
[00:16] <tiblock> I can think of making groups "mnt","mnt_hdd","mnt_hdd_a","mnt_hdd_a_b","mnt_hdd_a_b_c" and giving them to dirs and giving groups to user. But it will not work as i want. User will be able to access /mnt/ /mnt/hdd/ /mnt/hdd/a... And so on
[00:30] <tgm4883> tiblock: they don't need read access to all the upper directories, only excutable access
[00:31] <tiblock> tgm4883, so its chmod 0711, right?
[00:31] <chindy> yes
[00:31] <tgm4883> tiblock: yea
[00:31] <tiblock> So i thought about that. Thank you.
[00:31] <tgm4883> tiblock: it's o+x but the other permissions could be whatever you wanted them to be
[00:34] <berkiyo> Arch is a piece of shit
[00:35] <dax> no need for the language
[00:35] <berkiyo> sorry dax
[00:37] <berkiyo> I'm sorry dax okay? :D
[00:42] <SITM> is there a CL utility to see how busy an nvme drive is?
[01:10] <sadasd> win 300$ easy -> http://PayHite.com/?refcode=3118
[01:25] <Guestie> how do I put Ubuntu server on a USB flash drive on Ubuntu Desktop?
[01:25] <Guestie> I see how to do it on a Windows machine, but I don't see how to do it from a Ubuntu machine.
[01:26] <SilentCog> If you're in Ubuntu already, you might find that an app called 'Startup Disk Creator' is already installed
[01:28] <Guestie> Is putting Ubuntu server on a Wii even a good idea? xD
[01:28] <Guestie> I choose server because I'm guessing it will take less resources to run.
[01:28] <uxfi> Guestie  isnt that a video game system?
[01:28] <Guestie> uxfi, yes. But it's old.
[01:29] <uxfi> I haven't tried it
[01:29] <Guestie> We have the newer version of the Wii anyway, the Wii U.
[01:29] <uxfi> hm
[01:29] <w9qbj> Guestie, or sudo dd if=[whateverfilename] of=/dev/[thumbdrive]  The thumb drive should not be mounted, and use the /dev/sdx not /dev/sdx1  use sudo fdisk -l to find it
[01:31] <w9qbj> you might also add bs=500M  (or something large)
[01:35] <tubal> I'm chasing down some Dash info. Wondering why some plug-ins seem to do nothing, such as Manpages?
[01:35] <easyOnMe> anyone here familiar with letsencrypt
[01:35] <tubal> ...lens plug-ins
[01:40] <w9qbj> easyOnMe, There a #letsencrypt chat here on freenode
[01:40] <easyOnMe> w9qbj: I went there nobody was answering
[01:41] <Guestie> easyOnMe, I've used it a couple times.
[01:41] <w9qbj> easyOnMe, i did set it up on a Raaspberrypi with nginx
[01:41] <Guestie> easyOnMe, What you need?
[01:42] <wom12> I know u guys are bombarded with questions but any1 have experience with Webmin + BIND?
[01:42] <easyOnMe> Guestie: I encountered some errors
[01:42] <easyOnMe> Guestie: can you help me
[01:42]  * Guestie triggered!
[01:43] <Guestie> easyOnMe, what are you using letsencrypt with?
[01:43] <Guestie> apache?
[01:43] <w9qbj> easyOnMe, tell us what errors , we can't guess
[01:43] <easyOnMe>  just entered this command sudo letsenrypt --apache -d baseDomain.com -d www.baseDomain.com -d subDomain1.baseDomain.com -d subDomain2.baseDomain.com
[01:43] <Guestie> wom12, I had to do something with Bind9 DNS stuff in my competition today.
[01:43] <wom12> Competition? holy crap
[01:43] <Guestie> easyOnMe, what was the error?
[01:44] <wom12> Here is my post: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2351477&p=13603120#post13603120
[01:44] <wom12> That explains the problem fully
[01:44] <Guestie> wom12, that was one of the least successful competitions ever.
[01:44] <easyOnMe> An unexpected error occurred:
[01:44] <easyOnMe> The server experienced an internal error :: Failed to get registration by key
[01:44] <easyOnMe> Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.
[01:44] <Guestie> easyOnMe, try using one domain.
[01:45] <wom12> Guestie, sorry to hear man. Hopefully you do well next time. Hopefully there was not money on the line
[01:45] <Guestie> easyOnMe, I use the bot they suggested.
[01:45] <Guestie> wom12, oh. It was all a free ride. Well, down the road wasn't free. Everything else was.
[01:46] <lm1> hello all
[01:46] <easyOnMe> Guestie: what bot
[01:46] <Guestie> wom12, ride down the road*
[01:46] <easyOnMe> certbot
[01:46] <easyOnMe> I am using the new version of letsencrypt client

[01:47] <lm1> I am using a Ubuntu Server distro for a school assignment and I am having some difficulty with making an A record in BIND9 --I am seeking help if someone could provide it.
[01:47] <Guestie> holy crap. I really need to learn BIND9.
[01:47] <Guestie> I'm in Cyber Patriots, and DNS really kicked my butt today?
[01:48] <Guestie> .*
[01:48] <Guestie> I didn't mean that to be a question. xD
[01:48] <wom12> Hopefully cuz ur asking it the wrong person but i do need to also, especially if i want to learn server config
[01:48] <lm1> One of my first questions would be, how do I make a new A record?  I am thinking it is something within db.local
[01:50] <lm1> My second question would be, how would I use that A record to redirect traffic.  For example, if someone typed www.google.com, it would send the traffic to www.yahoo.com
[01:50] <lm1> I am thinking this is more of a hosts file thing too...
[01:50] <wom12> Anyway, do you have an idea of what im trying to achieve?

[02:02] <confusedaboutnet> hello
[02:03] <confusedaboutnet> I am interested in port forwarding
[02:03] <wom12> confused, its kinda empty now
[02:03] <confusedaboutnet> the internet that I use blocks everything except port 80/443
[02:03] <confusedaboutnet> so stuff like git, imap, and even ntp don't work
[02:03] <confusedaboutnet> I need a way to transparently send everything through port 80
[02:04] <confusedaboutnet> but I have zero knowledge of networking
[02:04] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, can you use a VPN? There's some free ones out there
[02:04] <confusedaboutnet> I would rather not use a vpn
[02:04] <xrandr_laptop> connect to that, and then life is good for you
[02:04] <confusedaboutnet> but it means one more external dependency
[02:04] <wom12> Gah, i give up on this
[02:05] <wom12> im so tired of it
[02:05] <confusedaboutnet> can anyone give my some pointers on this?
[02:05] <wom12> nothing freaking works
[02:05] <confusedaboutnet> seems like most solutions involve iptables
[02:05] <wom12> how do u guys keep doing it with little problems
[02:05] <confusedaboutnet> I am considering using ufw
[02:05] <eelstrebor> i need to do a memtest but it doesn't show up in the boot menu or even on the install dvd
[02:05] <confusedaboutnet> to avoid messing with iptables directly
[02:06] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, but your ISP is blocking everything except 80/443, right?
[02:06] <xrandr_laptop> if your ISP is blocking it, then you're not going to get very far
[02:06] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr: network admin, not isp
[02:06] <confusedaboutnet> yes
[02:06] <confusedaboutnet> wont port forwarding work?
[02:06] <wom12> confused, do u know anything about BIND or networking?
[02:07] <confusedaboutnet> wom12: zero knowledge about networking except a high level overiew
[02:07] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, then your network admin needs to set it. If he is setting it at the router or gateway level, then nothing you do will work except VPN
[02:07] <wom12> could this help? its a small post https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2351477&p=13603120#post13603120
[02:07] <confusedaboutnet> why won't port forwarding work?
[02:07] <confusedaboutnet> can't multiple connections listen on one port?
[02:08] <johnzorn> Any advice on running a script on shutdown/reboot on xenial?
[02:08] <xrandr_laptop> It can, but if you're being blocked at the router/gateway level then your rules won't be seen
[02:08] <confusedaboutnet> johnzorn: systemd
[02:09] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr_laptop: but its for my own computer, i.e. git, imap etc.
[02:10] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, think of it this way: You're in a house with many rooms. You have the key to those rooms. You can open and close any door you want, except the front door. The front door has a small slit in it to allow certain packets come through it
[02:10] <xrandr_laptop> that's how your network is setup right now
[02:10] <johnzorn> confusedaboutnet, ya I was playing around with that and the shutdown part wasn't working. So that didn't give me much confidence...
[02:10] <xrandr_laptop> make sense?
[02:10] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr_laptop: I could get around the git problem with this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7953806/github-ssh-via-public-wifi-port-22-blocked
[02:10] <confusedaboutnet> why wont something work for say imap?
[02:11] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, try modifying the answer from that page for imap's port
[02:11] <xrandr_laptop> see if it works
[02:11] <WechKep> Just...

[02:11] <teward> !ops | WechKep spammer
[02:11] <xrandr_laptop> if not, wouldn't it be simpler to ask him to open those ports for you?

[02:14] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr_laptop: how safe is it to use run a vpn on a production server?
[02:14] <charlie__> hey can some1 help me, i just got linux and my windows drag is laggy
[02:14] <confusedaboutnet> I have a simple saas I am going to deploy soon
[02:14] <xrandr_laptop> if it is a secure vpn, then it should be fine
[02:14] <confusedaboutnet> prolly a Digital ocean $5 server
[02:14] <confusedaboutnet> since I am a student on a tight budget
[02:15] <confusedaboutnet> I wont be able to afford another server
[02:15] <confusedaboutnet> so is it safe for me to run the vpn on the same server that's running a rails production software?
[02:15] <xrandr_laptop> confusedaboutnet, you could, in theory, get a free Amazon AWS VPS Server, install some kind of vpn software that has a web logon interface :)
[02:16] <confusedaboutnet> web logon interface?
[02:16] <confusedaboutnet> how would that work?
[02:16] <xrandr_laptop> yeah, i know cisco has it
[02:16] <xrandr_laptop> ya got me, i just know cisco and juniper networks have it
[02:16] <xrandr_laptop> we used to use juniper networks at my job
[02:17] <xrandr_laptop> logged in via a web client
[02:17] <confusedaboutnet> but how would you tunnel through it?
[02:17] <xrandr_laptop> it launched the VPN client and created the VPN connection
[02:17] <confusedaboutnet> ooh
[02:17] <confusedaboutnet> I see
[02:17] <confusedaboutnet> convenient
[02:18] <xrandr_laptop> and then you don't have to worry about running the VPN on the same production server
[02:18] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr_laptop how can I get the free amazon server?
[02:19] <xrandr_laptop> sign up for Amazon Web Services
[02:20] <confusedaboutnet> xrandr_laptop: you are refeering to the 750 hours ec2 thing right?

[04:11] <tubal> I'm chasing down some Dash info. Wondering why some lens plug-ins seem to do nothing, such as Manpages. Any thoughts?
[04:13] <Guestie> I want to be able to boot into Ubuntu on my wii. I saw another Linux (I think distribution is the appropriate word) whose kernel was compatable with the Wii.
[04:14] <Speiros> I made a mistake earlier on, about three weeks ago or so.  I typed an incorrect password, and lost access to certain external hard drives, but more importantly, I can't seem to access the root account from this user account, as it only allows me to enter the user password.  I use a separate user account to the admin account, yet have formerly been able to access it from here.  Can someone tell me what might have changed by default, so that I ca
[04:14] <Speiros> n undo it?
[04:14] <Guestie> Is it possible to take that kernel and inject it into the Ubuntu install files?
[04:15] <Guestie> Speiros, I may be able to help you with the root login issue.
[04:15] <Speiros> Guestie It would be much appreciated.
[04:15] <Guestie> Speiros, Are you using desktop or server?
[04:15] <Guestie> TTY or SSH?
[04:15] <Speiros> Guestie I used to be able to "sudo su", but not now.  I'm on a desktop.
[04:16] <Speiros> ...actually, I just saw a mistake when I typed that...
[04:16] <Guestie> Can you use sudo?
[04:16] <Speiros> No.
[04:17] <Guestie> Speiros, do you have physical access to the machine?
[04:17] <Speiros> Guestie Yes.  I can log in to either, but not one to another, at least not from here to there.
[04:17] <Guestie> Speiros, you can login to root, you just can't switch to root?
[04:18] <Speiros> Guestie Correct.
[04:18] <Speiros> Guestie I have messed up permissions somewhere, by typing an incorrect password three times in a row.
[04:18] <Guestie> Speiros, are you logged into root right now?
[04:19] <Speiros> Guestie No.  I have to reconfigure my Hexchat client to allow that, as I'm registered here, and not from Admin.  I don't use admin account for general internet access.
[04:19] <Speiros> Guestie At least in order to be on here.  I tried it earlier, about 10-15 min ago.
[04:20] <Guestie> Speiros, if you had a second computer, that would work out nicely.
[04:21] <Speiros> Guestie Yep.  I can work around it, but I'm trying to learn to fix things.  I keep my files separate from the computer too, so a new install isn't out of the question.
[04:21] <Guestie> Speiros, I do not believe that is neccessary. I mean, if you want to do that, that's okay
[04:21] <Guestie> but I think if you login to root (maybe write down what I tell you), you can fix it without much sweat.
[04:22] <Speiros> Guestie Great.  I'll write it down.
[04:22] <Ben64> by default you can't log into root in ubuntu
[04:22] <Ben64> Speiros: what's the output of "id"
[04:22] <Guestie> Ben64, you sure?
[04:22] <Ben64> yes
[04:23] <Guestie> Ben64, that's not what my install did.
[04:23] <Ben64> maybe you're not on ubuntu
[04:23] <tgm4883> Guestie: your desktop ubuntu install?
[04:23] <Speiros> Guestie My id output is uid, gid and groups, all at 1001.
[04:23] <Ben64> Speiros: paste the actual output here
[04:24] <Speiros> Ben64 uid=1001 (resklyt) gid=1001 (resklyt) groups=1001(resklyt)
[04:24] <Guestie> Speiros, did you install it's something crack
[04:24] <Speiros> Guestie No, I haven't heard of that.
[04:24] <Ben64> Speiros: looks like you created a new user from the default one, and you didn't give this new user sudo access
[04:25] <Speiros> Ben64 I see.  So I should edit permissions from the Admin account then?  The permissions changed when I typed the wrong password three times.  It was working well until I erred there.
[04:25] <Ben64> Speiros: nothing happens when you type the password incorrectly
[04:26] <tgm4883> incorrect passwords don't change permissions
[04:26] <Ben64> Speiros: what is this 'admin' account you're talking about
[04:26] <Guestie> Ben64, I think there is a configuration somewhere, where you could set it to lock you out after too many failed attempts.
[04:26] <Ben64> nah
[04:26] <Guestie> Ben64, probably external software too.
[04:27] <Speiros> Ben64 I have this Resklyt account as a guest as such.  It's not a guest account, in that it is password protected.  I have this user account separate from my installation account.
[04:27] <Ben64> Speiros: why
[04:27] <Speiros> Ben64 Security.  I read that it is wise not to use the root account to access the net, so that it protects against hacking.
[04:27] <Ben64> right, thats why sudo exists
[04:27] <Guestie> Ben64, this general area: /etc/pam.d/
[04:28] <Guestie> Speiros, check "visudo" for a good configuration.
[04:28] <tgm4883> Guestie: Is it possible that can happen, yes. However the user would know if they set that up as it's not done by default
[04:28] <Speiros> Ben64 I understand that, but I also learned not to use the admin account in a course 9 years ago, using windows.
[04:28] <Ben64> Speiros: linux works differently
[04:28] <Ben64> there is no "admin" account
[04:28] <Ben64> there is root, and not root
[04:29] <Speiros> Ben64 The permissions for the user account are less than the admin account too, yet they can be accessed via sudo also.  It is an extra safeguard.
[04:29] <Ben64> Speiros: it isn't
[04:29] <Ben64> it's pointless
[04:30] <Guestie> Is there such thing as injecting a kernel to Ubuntu installation files (as in, the installation files that come from the ISO file that we get from Canonical) so that it will work with a certain machine?
[04:30] <tgm4883> Ben64: not really, you can setup sudo to allow certain commands to be run yet not be able to switch to root
[04:31] <Ben64> tgm4883: i don't see how that is relevant
[04:31] <Speiros> Ben64 I understand it is more awkward, but I don't know about pointless.  It allows me, as a learner, to understand how I can and can't get out from a user account, and a user account is what I want others to use, if they ever use my computer.  In that way, it is a safety issue.
[04:31] <Ben64> Speiros: yeah it's fine to make an account for someone else, pointless to give yourself an account like that
[04:31] <Speiros> Ben64 I know now, that before my error, I could access root from the user account, knowing the admin passwords.
[04:32] <Ben64> by default you can't
[04:32] <tgm4883> Ben64: I don't see how it's pointless to give  yourself an account that doesn't have sudo privs
[04:32] <Ben64> tgm4883: because it's your machine
[04:33] <Speiros> Ben64 Fair call.  By default it may not be, but it doesn't mean it can't be done.  It can't be done now though, after my error.  Yet I would like to see the workaround to fix this.  If I have to go into admin to do it, that's fine, but from the user account, I believe it is good to understand how it works.
[04:33] <Ben64> Speiros: stop saying admin, it's confusing
[04:33] <tgm4883> Ben64: What does that have to do with anything? We're not talking about securing the machine against yourself, we're talking about securing it against others that might gain access to your account
[04:34] <Ben64> but theres already an account there with sudo
[04:34] <Speiros> Ben64 What terminology makes you comfortable, or is correct?
[04:34] <Ben64> Speiros: well what's the name of the default user
[04:34] <Speiros> Ben64, Okay, default user account, who has access to root privileges?
[04:34] <tgm4883> Ben64: Ok, so USER1 has sudo and USER2 doesn't. If an attacker gains access to USER2's account, then they don't automatically get access to sudo....
[04:35] <Ben64> then they would just gain access to user1 instead
[04:35] <tgm4883> Speiros: what is the output of 'ls /home'
[04:35] <tgm4883> Ben64: ....
[04:35] <Ben64> Speiros: the user who has access to sudo
[04:35] <Speiros> tgm4883 It is my computer name, plus this, "resklyt".
[04:35] <tgm4883> Ben64: you say that like the attacker has a choice about what account they get access to?
[04:35] <tgm4883> Speiros: what is your computer name?
[04:35] <Ben64> well if they get access to one account, you're screwed already
[04:35] <Speiros> It's private.
[04:36] <tgm4883> Ben64: how so?
[04:36] <Ben64> i'm sure theres a root exploit out there, or they could just su - otherusername
[04:36] <tgm4883> Speiros: oh FFS, this isn't private info but whatever. Ben64, for the sake of the rest of this discussion, let's pretend his first account is PrettyZebras
[04:37] <Ben64> Speiros: "su - PrettyZebras" type in PrettyZebras password, then you can use sudo
[04:37] <tgm4883> Ben64: ... That's absurd
[04:37] <Speiros> Ben64 Ok...
[04:37] <tgm4883> Ben64: they wouldn't be able to 'su - otherusername' without the password for the other username
[04:37] <Ben64> tgm4883: not any more absurd than getting one account hacked but thats it
[04:37] <Ben64> tgm4883: which is why i said type in the password...
[04:38] <tgm4883> Ben64: and if we're going to go down the path of "there's a root exploit" then all bets are off and there's no point in connecting it to the internet at all since I bet there is a remote exploit
[04:38] <BenderRodriguez> Ubuntu
[04:38] <BenderRodriguez> dear god I need help
[04:39] <Speiros> Ben64 It says the first letter of my computer name is an invalid option.  Okay, I'll tell you what I have, and I'll reinstall and start from scratch later.lol:)  It isn't hide-and-seek, but a learning curve I'm trying to get...I'll type the names in the next sentence.
[04:39] <Ben64> Speiros: not "su -PrettyZebras" make sure you put a space after -
[04:40] <tgm4883> Ben64: I'm not sure why you think that an account you use for online stuff vs an account you use for computer administration both have the same likelyhood of being hacked
[04:40] <Speiros> The computer is called ktd_57-tx33, the main account is Tsiarichtmyth-92, and the account attached to that is resklyt.  Okay, I'll work with the space.
[04:40] <tgm4883> !ask | BenderRodriguez
[04:41] <BenderRodriguez> ok this is insane
[04:41] <Speiros> Ben64 That worked.  I believe I will be able to access root from here, with the next command.
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> I have configured a subinterface for a vlan (ens3.20)
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> it's getting a DHCP ip
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> but when I ping/traceroute it, it's not reachable
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> not even from the DHCP server
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> it's insane
[04:42] <BenderRodriguez> You know what, I'm going to ask this in ##networking too
[04:44] <Speiros> Thanks for your help Ben64, tgm4883, and Guestie:)  Much appreciated.  I can probably work my way through from here.
[04:44] <DeathShot> guyses, I have a live usb, super fast, ssd, took 19 seconds to make, it's dope, how do I turn it into a persistent usb?
[04:45] <DeathShot> the only guides I can find go up to 12.04
[04:45] <DeathShot> and the most detailed one is for ubuntu 8
[04:46] <DeathShot> I can't use an automatic usb maker thing, because I'm running it on NTFS (I know someone is going to want to say something about this, but just don't, it shouldn't effect how syslinux's file stricture is set up)
[04:47] <BenderRodriguez> Ben64: brother...
[04:47] <DeathShot> basically what I need is to know where the config file for the menu is so that I can add an entry for persistence, and make it the default, and if anyone has any tips on how to do this best that would be awesome.
[04:47] <Guestie> Is there such thing as injecting a kernel to Ubuntu installation files (as in, the installation files that come from the ISO file that we get from Canonical) so that it will work with a certain machine?
[04:56] <bivo> how can I map a sequence of button presses to either constantly repeat or be tied to a single button press? Looking to save some time  leveling up familiars in C:SOTN in PPSSPP
[05:06] <easyOnMe> anyone here familiar with letsencrypt
[05:10] <Guestie> easyOnMe, hey. It's you again. ;)
[05:11] <easyOnMe> Guestie: yes sorry I still did not solve my issues
[05:11] <easyOnMe> I tried installing and using certbot but it returns an error
[05:13] <easyOnMe> Guestie: any suggestion please
[05:13] <easyOnMe> Guestie: I am a newbie to letsencrypt and I google my issues but the suggestions over stackoverflow do not fit my own problem
[05:14] <DeathShot> whats the problem?
[05:16] <xrandr_laptop> easyOnMe, what are you using letsencrypt for?  Collabora/CODE?
[05:17] <easyOnMe> xrandr_laptop: I am using it for https only
[05:17] <easyOnMe> for the website I am working on
[05:17] <xrandr_laptop> ah
[05:18] <easyOnMe> xrandr_laptop: any suggestions man
[05:18] <easyOnMe> xrandr_laptop: this is the issue: I just entered this command: sudo letsenrypt --apache -d baseDomain.com -d www.baseDomain.com -d subDomain1.baseDomain.com -d subDomain2.baseDomain.com
[05:18] <xrandr_laptop> no, i was gonna pay attention if you were using it for collabora
[05:19] <easyOnMe> nd it gave me this error
[05:19] <easyOnMe> An unexpected error occurred:
[05:19] <easyOnMe> The server experienced an internal error :: Failed to get registration by key
[05:19] <easyOnMe> Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.
[05:22] <Guestie> easyOnMe, sorry. Took me a bit to see it.
[05:22] <easyOnMe> Guestie: ok thanks
[05:22] <Guestie> easyOnMe, are you trying to get a certificate from a domain?
[05:23] <easyOnMe> I am trying to add certificates for the sub domains that we are adding to the website

[05:35] <Caleb_> I only have 1 user
[05:36] <Xz> Caleb_: + root
[05:36] <easyOnMe> but when I tried to add just today for the sub domains it gave me errors that I never encountered before

[05:46] <quarters> I'm having issues with running qt -creator since it requires glx 1.3 or above and I'm on glx 1.2. I was wondering how to update my version of glx.  I had installed mesa-utils to confirm my glx version
[05:47] <Jsync> Hello room. I am curious if Linux depends on Haskell.
[05:47] <Caleb_> anyone have any ideas how to fix this error when trying to open system files?

[05:47] <Caleb_> You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “Documents”.
[05:47] <shachindra> sudo chmod -R o+rw Downloads
[05:48] <Caleb_> kk trying now
[05:48] <Jsync> I just thought that to get a simple reply might make the situation "simple". :)
[05:48] <Caleb_> caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo chmod -R o+rw Downloads caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$
[05:48] <Caleb_> it did nothing

[05:54] <Caleb_> I did this caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo chmod -R o+rw Downloads
[05:54] <shachindra> just give me the line output for ls -al od downloads
[05:54] <Caleb_> And it did nothing

[05:56] <shachindra> not good
[05:56] <Caleb_> What does that mean?
[05:56] <shachindra> you should have these privilages
[05:56] <shachindra> drwxr-xr-x
[05:56] <Caleb_> How do i get those?
[05:56] <shachindra> Ok, We're halfway there
[05:57] <shachindra> this was earlier:    d-wx--x--x
[05:57] <shachindra> Was it so?
[05:58] <Caleb_> What?
[05:58] <shachindra> Earlier Permission : d-wx--x--x
[05:58] <Caleb_> i think
[05:58] <uxfi> hello shachindra
[05:59] <shachindra> You need: drwxr-xr-x
[05:59] <shachindra> Hi uxfi
[05:59] <Caleb_> how do i get drwxr-xr-x?
[06:00] <shachindra> Well the previous command should have worked
[06:02] <Caleb_> try giving me it again
[06:02] <Caleb_> i will attempt it
[06:05] <Caleb_> You still there?
[06:05] <shachindra> sudo chmod -R a+w Douwnloads
[06:05] <Caleb_> k trying now
[06:05] <Caleb_> sudo chmod -R a+w Douwnloads [sudo] password for caleb:  chmod: cannot access 'Douwnloads': No such file or directory
[06:05] <Caleb_> Wait i see
[06:06] <Caleb_> Let me try again :P
[06:06] <shachindra> sorry for the typo
[06:06] <shachindra> change the name
[06:07] <Caleb_> kk i did sudo chmod -R a+w Downloads and it did nothing
[06:07] <Caleb_> caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo chmod -R a+w Downloads caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$
[06:08] <egor83> shouldn't it be "sudo chmod -R a+r Downloads" ?
[06:08] <egor83> we're trying to set read permissions
[06:09] <Caleb_> so i put it in ""?
[06:09] <egor83> nono
[06:09] <egor83> sudo chmod -R a+r Downloads
[06:09] <egor83> a+r instead of a+w
[06:09] <Caleb_> Still nothing
[06:09] <shachindra> sudo chmod -R o+rw
[06:09] <shachindra> You tried this earlier right
[06:10] <Caleb_> Yea nothing with all three
[06:11] <Caleb_> Do you know how i can reset it? or reinstall with a usb?
[06:12] <Caleb_> i just downloaded it today so wouldnt be much of a setback
[06:12] <shachindra> uname -a
[06:12] <Caleb_> Linux caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC 4.4.0-62-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 18 14:10:15 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[06:13] <shachindra> have you tried restarting the pc
[06:13] <Caleb_> 2 times
[06:14] <Xz> hi can I customize color of ubuntu panel?
[06:14] <Xz> the default themes, radiance, ambiance, etc. don't work for me
[06:15] <Xz> using unity
[06:15] <Caleb_> Shachindra any way of reinstalling it with a usb?
[06:15] <Caleb_> or a command that reset all of it?
[06:16] <arakash> If you just installed something on your system, how'd you go about finding out where the files are located?
[06:17] <shachindra> Well yeah, you can make a bootable usb & either recover or reinstall the os
[06:18] <Caleb_> i have my usb from when i installed it
[06:18] <Caleb_> but now when i reboot it i dont get the boot menu
[06:18] <Caleb_> any way i can check bootable devices on screen?
[06:20] <Caleb_> OH!
[06:21] <Caleb_> i think something worked!
[06:21] <Caleb_> downloads are working
[06:21] <shachindra> Well thats good!
[06:21] <shachindra> That had to work
[06:21] <Caleb_> Well now
[06:21] <shachindra> Did you try anything else
[06:22] <Caleb_> i went into settings and backups
[06:22] <Caleb_> and folders to ignore
[06:22] <Caleb_> But Pictures, videos, music,documents doesnt work
[06:22] <Caleb_> folder
[06:23] <shachindra> try the same commands for those folders
[06:23] <Caleb_> k

[06:24] <turbo64> the mscorefonts package is broken, the URLs are 404
[06:25] <Caleb_> Ok can you check your saved folders in backups
[06:25] <Caleb_> does it have home in there
[06:25] <Caleb_> ?
[06:25] <shachindra> Did you take a backup
[06:25] <Caleb_> No
[06:25] <Caleb_> I wanted to know in saved storage if i should delete home (caleb)
[06:26] <Caleb_> Folders to save
[06:26] <Caleb_> If i needed it
[06:27] <tubal> I just ran chkrootkit on this week-old 16.10 install. It say tcpd is infected.  ...  What am I supposed to do with that information?
[06:27] <Caleb_> Those perms didnt work for any other
[06:28] <shachindra> I would suggest a clean install
[06:28] <shachindra> re-install after a backup
[06:29] <Caleb_> How do i re-install?
[06:29] <Caleb_> i have a USB boot drive
[06:29] <shachindra> i think you made errors during installation
[06:29] <Caleb_> But when i relod my pc it doesnt show the boot-log menu
[06:30] <tubal> rkhunter suggests the opposite. Hrm.
[06:30] <Tahr-Poop> tubal, run scan with Rkhunter, chkrootkit is known for returning false positives
[06:32] <Caleb_> shachindra
[06:32] <Caleb_> any ideas?
[06:33] <tubal> Tahr-Poop: Yeah, I did, and I hope you're right .And rkhunter too. Should we just stop using chkrootkit?
[06:34] <Caleb_> can anyone help me?
[06:35] <shachindra> UEFI or BIOS
[06:35] <Caleb_> How can i re-install my computer with ubuntu, but the home screen doesnt show the boot menu on start up
[06:35] <Caleb_> Uhh it came with Windows-8
[06:36] <shachindra> No i'm asking type is your bios
[06:36] <Caleb_> i think its UEFI
[06:36] <tubal> Caleb_ You usually have to go into the bios just after power-up.
[06:36] <shachindra> which type*
[06:36] <Caleb_> were is bios?
[06:36] <shachindra> oh ok
[06:36] <Caleb_> How do i check haha :P
[06:36] <tubal> Caleb_ You want to boot from the USB drive?
[06:37] <shachindra> press F1 while start
[06:37] <Caleb_> Yes i want to boot from usb drive
[06:37] <tubal> Caleb_: Or possibly another F key. It depends on the machine. Look at the screen just after power-up. And get ready to hit the key.
[06:37] <tubal> Whichever it tells you it is.
[06:37] <Caleb_> its basicly black screen when i load
[06:38] <Caleb_> then auto logs me in
[06:38] <Caleb_> k reloading thanks ofr the help
[06:38] <tubal> Caleb_: In there...
[06:38] <tubal> You need to change the boot order, so that your machine chooses the USB drive first.
[06:39] <tubal> Before the Windows install on your hard drive.
[06:41] <caleb__> ok
[06:41] <caleb__> It didnt work
[06:42] <caleb__> Showed no keys to press
[06:42] <caleb__> just black screen
[06:42] <caleb__> then loaded me into ubuntu
[06:42] <Tahr-Poop> tubal, you should stop using it, try https://github.com/CISOfy/lynis its better than both of them
[06:42] <tubal> caleb__: From the USB drive? Or do you have an Ubuntu install elsewhere?
[06:42] <tubal> Tahr-Poop: An thanks.
[06:43] <tubal> Ah*
[06:43] <caleb__> I have it from the usb drive
[06:43] <caleb__> I just got it today
[06:43] <caleb__> i was windows
[06:44] <tubal> caleb__: I'm sorry, I'm confused. What are you trying to accomplish?
[06:45] <caleb__> i am trying to re-install it
[06:45] <caleb__> cause my system folders ( Music,documents,Pictures,Videos folders do not work
[06:45] <tubal> How do you mean, do not work?
[06:46] <caleb__> Says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “Music”.
[06:46] <caleb__> This location could not be displayed
[06:48] <caleb__> i gtg very soon
[06:50] <tubal> I see you grappled with this for a while. If you're going to reinstall, the BIOS has to be set to boot from the USB drive. I don't know why that might have changed from your first install, though.
[06:50] <caleb__> on windows i click boot menu in settings
[06:51] <caleb__> and it lised all the bootable devices
[06:51] <caleb__> but i dont see anything like that
[06:51] <caleb__> Its ok if you dont know i might have to wait tell monday intell my mate burns me a Lunix mint disc
[07:08] <zacwalls> I just installed Ubuntu, and I noticed the software center won't load anything. By this I mean I will search for someting and I will just get the spinning wheel.... Same when I try to load a page for an application. Is that just for me or for everyone?
[07:08] <zacwalls> Btw apt is working for me just fine
[07:11] <Xz> does anybody know how to disable horizontal scrolling/
[07:11] <Xz> my touchpad doesn't handle that well
[07:13] <bivo> is there a system wide equalizer? I'd like to be able to watch blacksmithing and machining videos without the piercing high pitched ring of the anvil of the scream of the power tools either making my ears bleed with headphones or disturbing everyone else if played on speaker
[07:19] <Xz> after using ubuntu for couple of days, after spending many days configuring it I have to say it's pretty solid
[07:20] <Xz> I'm booting it off USB stick with secure mode enabled, and it works!
[07:20] <Xz> unity does pretty good job
[07:20] <Xz> especially with unity-tweak-tool and themes downloaded from internet
[07:20] <uxfi> Xz  on a laptop or?
[07:20] <uxfi> er whats the system youure isntalling it on
[07:21] <Xz> uxfi: yes, laptop - HP Zbook 15G3
[07:21] <uxfi> oh ok
[07:21] <Xz> uxfi: I had many troubles with getting UEFI secure boot to work while booting off USB stick
[07:21] <Xz> uxfi: but managed to get that to work
[07:21] <uxfi> I see
[07:21] <uxfi> well good
[07:22] <uxfi> Xz  I think that UEFI protection started happening with Windows 8 and 10
[07:22] <uxfi> so it was tougher to install another OS
[07:22] <uxfi> basedo n what I've read
[07:22] <Xz> uxfi: true
[07:22] <uxfi> dont remember exactly
[07:22] <Xz> uxfi: it's Microsoft's requirement
[07:22] <uxfi> oh yes
[07:22] <uxfi> probably
[07:23] <uxfi> Xz  where are you from
[07:23] <ducasse> uefi is intel's baby, actually
[07:27] <Xz> uxfi: I'm living in california currently
[07:27] <Xz> uxfi: why would you ask that?
[07:34] <ducasse> Xz: touchpad - you can probably do that with synclient
[07:35] <tubal> Xz: Where did you find your themes? I've been thinking about that.
[07:45] <kang0> Is it Possible to have mbr without partition?
[07:54] <B1uscr34m> hello :)
[07:57] <B1uscr34m> Im searching for a shell command similar to windows's "Search for new hardware" in the Device Manager
[07:59] <oles> B1uscr34m, lspci/lsusb?
[08:14] <hotmedal> I have a usb stick that shows up in lsusb and no errors in dmesg, but doesn't get mounted or even shows up in fdisk
[08:14] <jatt> how do you mount it
[08:15] <cfhowlett> hotmedal, automount = off?
[08:15] <hotmedal> Other devices work fine. Just this particular usb stick. It doesn't show up on windows either
[08:18] <B1uscr34m> Someone here with some linux experience?
[08:20] <B1uscr34m> i guess that's a no ^^
[08:20] <hotmedal> We all have experience with Linux. Ask your question.
[08:21] <B1uscr34m> Oh okay thanks
[08:21] <B1uscr34m> I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Server in VirtualBox
[08:21] <B1uscr34m> And i need to connect to it through ssh
[08:22] <kang0> How many sectors or space kernel occupies?
[08:22] <B1uscr34m> but ifconfig only shows the lo adapter
[08:22] <hotmedal> kang0: asking me?
[08:22] <kang0> Yes
[08:23] <kang0> You are the only medalist in the room
[08:23] <hotmedal> kang0: I do not know
[08:23] <B1uscr34m> here is what i mean: https://i.imgur.com/Onqv3l2.png
[08:24] <B1uscr34m> also my VB net settings: https://i.imgur.com/2fl90XA.png
[08:24] <hotmedal> B1uscr34m:  are you sure virtualbox is giving it a network connection?
[08:24] <B1uscr34m> it used to work before i did the ubuntu dist-upgrade to 16.04 from 14.04
[08:26] <B1uscr34m> i wish there was a way to start some "network auto configure" process
[08:27] <B1uscr34m> where it detects all network adapter and sets them to dhcp etc etc
[08:30] <B1uscr34m> maybe someone has a neat command for this like 'ifconfig --autoconfigure' or similar
[08:31] <hotmedal> B1uscr34m: have you checked other virtualbox settings?
[08:31] <hotmedal> B1uscr34m: different options for network sharing
[08:34] <B1uscr34m> hotmedal: https://freetz.org/wiki/help/howtos/common/install#Execution Step 4 says it should be in bridged mode
[08:34] <B1uscr34m> but i tried all possible orders and adapter type
[08:35] <hotmedal> what does ifconfig -a say?
[08:35] <B1uscr34m> i can't screenshot all the output
[08:35] <B1uscr34m> and can't copy paste it
[08:36] <hotmedal> does it have eth0?
[08:36] <B1uscr34m> enps*
[08:37] <B1uscr34m> https://i.imgur.com/UgenHQi.png
[08:37] <B1uscr34m> enp0s3
[08:37] <hotmedal> try to manually assign network to it
[08:38] <hotmedal> like in step 3 of your link
[08:38] <B1uscr34m> i already tried that too
[08:38] <B1uscr34m> no success
[08:39] <hotmedal> B1uscr34m: create a new vm using this file
[08:40] <B1uscr34m> ohh i got something
[08:40] <B1uscr34m> i removed the /etc/network/interfaces file
[08:40] <B1uscr34m> and rebooted
[09:07] <whiteout> I'm using the latest ubuntu server LTS and need to make it absolutely locked down, any articles I should read?
[09:08] <whiteout> I've read this: https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1604-lts-server-part-1-basics
[09:08] <whiteout> any others I should read?
[09:17] <repozitor> is it possible that we have a username which is not listed in passwd?
[09:20] <blueking> steam gamers here ?
[09:20] <cfhowlett> blueking, please see /msg ubottu steam for info
[09:21] <blueking> just asking about open ports in firewall
[09:21] <cfhowlett> same answer
[09:22] <whiteout_> sorry I was gone, did anyone answer my question?
[09:23] <cfhowlett> whiteout_, sounds like great questions for #ubuntu-server
[09:24] <whiteout> thanks
[09:25] <repozitor> any idea/.
[09:25] <repozitor> ?
[09:30] <Seveas> repozitor: yes, most definitely. For example when using ldap for authentication.
[09:35] <iambatman> aloha
[09:36] <iambatman> wow so many people in here but so silent o.o
[09:36] <bazhang> iambatman, it's a support channel not a chat channel
[09:37] <iambatman> but u do support through chatting right :p
[09:38] <bazhang> iambatman, in the #ubuntu-offtopic channel not here
[09:38] <FCGreg> repozitor: Also, different Kerberos modules can allow authentication/access for users and services without local users in passwd
[09:40] <iambatman> hi is there a way to get ubuntu on my android phone?
[09:40] <cfhowlett> !touch | iambatman possibly.  read the touch link
[09:42] <iambatman> thanks cfhowlett
[09:42] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[09:43] <dsfsdf> did someone got banned?
[09:44] <ikonia> no
[09:44] <dsfsdf> ok
[09:44] <dsfsdf> i only saw b
[09:44] <dsfsdf> but it was a unban
[09:50] <dsfsdf> ##fix_your_connection <- is that a reason?
[09:52] <guardian_> eric u thr?
[09:52] <guardian_> can someone help me with the lap shuttdown issue.
[09:53] <guardian_> while I try to shuttdown ths systems hangs, restart and otherstuffs works fine (except hibernate)
[09:55] <guardian_> Lap : acer es1 533. OS Ubuntu 16.10
[09:55] <Alahin> Hi, i'm trying to update using apt-get update, but I get 404 errors. (see http://paste.ubuntu.com/23932528/ for the output) does anyone know if there is a problem with ubuntu.apt-get.eu, since I can't find any information about it. I also checked the site itself and it gives 404 not found there as well.
[09:55] <cfhowlett> Alahin, try a different mirror
[09:56] <repozitor> FCGreg, actually i mean local user, not network authenticated user.
[09:58] <FCGreg> repozitor: Assuming you're using default Kerberos authentication layers on your install, users can be imagined in non-standard ways, acting like a local user but not in the passwd file
[09:58] <Seveas> Alahin: that's not a supported repo.
[09:59] <repozitor> so it might be exist on the other files? right?
[09:59] <dsfsdf> anyone can quickly write down the curl and wget commands with output file name?
[09:59] <dsfsdf> i remember smth like wget -O "file.sh" bla.com
[09:59] <Seveas> repozitor: what's the context of the question? We may be able to give a better answer if we know what you're trying to do
[09:59] <Seveas> dsfsdf: correct. and for curl it's curl url-goes-here > filename-goes-here
[10:00] <repozitor> i want to list ALL users on my ubuntu.
[10:00] <dsfsdf> oh nice awesome :) Seveas
[10:00] <Seveas> repozitor: getent passwd
[10:00] <repozitor> Seveas, it return only passwd.
[10:01] <Seveas> then you have no non-local users. Check /etc/nsswitch.conf to confirm.
[10:01] <repozitor> i guess there is another container for users which i don't recognize it.
[10:01] <Seveas> repozitor: pastebin your /etc/nsswitch.conf
[10:02] <repozitor> Seveas, i think it have important data.
[10:02] <repozitor> is it safe to publish?
[10:03] <Seveas> only you can determine that :) But I can't think of anything sensitive in there...
[10:03] <ZoderUck> var user = um.FindByIdAsync(userId);    i need to find all the roles  in a user  like user.Roles  do i need to implement  the Roles method myself?
[10:04] <Seveas> ZoderUck: I think you're in the wrong channel :)
[10:04] <repozitor> Seveas, it's better to keep it as secret, sorry buddy :)
[10:04] <Seveas> repozitor: then it'll be tricky to help you.
[10:04] <repozitor> seems there is no way to find my answer.
[10:04] <repozitor> thanks anyway.
[10:05] <Alahin> cfhowlett Seveas thanks for the responce, I notified the provider for the repository.
[10:07] <Alahin> have a nice day!
[10:11] <danzizi> i am danzizi
[10:12] <ZoderUck> hi
[10:12] <genuine> is there similar platforms to steam which is supported on ubuntu? i want platforms that are natively supported no playonlinux or wine
[10:12] <ZoderUck> hello danzizi from libia ?
[10:13] <danzizi> ZoderUck, oh no
[10:14] <danzizi> what made you thought like that?
[10:14] <ZoderUck> ow just because of your nickname
[10:15] <genuine> can anyone help me with gaming on linux/ubuntu? thanks.
[10:15] <ZoderUck> but i need to test some asp.net 1.0 stuff on ubuntu speak to you later
[10:15] <danzizi> ok
[10:18] <Tahr-Poop> genuine, https://lutris.net/about/
[10:19] <genuine> Thank you
[10:21] <genuine> are you aware of any other platform?
[10:25] <k1l_> genuine: steam got native support.but not for all games inside steam
[10:27] <genuine> yea, also lutris seems good. are these two the main ones? or only one?
[10:37] <Arkikas> hello
[10:38] <tian_> hello
[10:39] <tian_> non-englihs ,just have a look
[10:49] <nerdsville> Hey all, is us.archive.ubuntu.com down for anyone else?
[10:50] <nerdsville> hm, now that one is good but security.ubuntu.com isn't
[10:54] <ppf> nerdsville: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/security.ubuntu.com
[10:56] <k1l_> nerdsville: ipv6 isp issue? does it give an error or just hang there?
[10:57] <nerdsville> I can't access ipv4
[10:57] <nerdsville> 91.189.88.62
[10:57] <nerdsville> .162**
[10:57] <nerdsville> It is weird, I am having intermittent access issues for both us.archive.ubuntu.com and security.ubuntu.com
[10:58] <nerdsville> And yeah just hangs there, can't even access in the browser or ping
[10:59] <nerdsville> traceroute is weird when pinging that domain, it doesn't even show my router as a hop, but I can traceroute to google for example
[11:01] <nerdsville> Oh, nevermind... turns out it was my intrusion protection system -.- sry
[11:08] <heari> I am looking for a good converter(video to audio)
[11:08] <cfhowlett> heari, ffmpeg
[11:09] <heari> how can I install it?
[11:09] <heari> I tried But I didn't get
[11:09] <cfhowlett> heari, wait 1
[11:09] <heari> ok.
[11:09] <cfhowlett> heari, sudo apt install ffmpeg
[11:09] <nerdsville> It should just be a package install right?
[11:09] <nerdsville> yeah
[11:10] <cfhowlett> nerdsville, not always.  avconv was the alternate for a time, but it was part of the libavtools package
[11:11] <nerdsville> ah makes sense, does apt have the equivalent of yum whatprovides
[11:11] <elias_a> heari: What exactly do you want to do?
[11:11] <heari> I want to convert a video file(mp4) to audio(mp3)
[11:11] <heari> in ubuntu 16.04
[11:12] <elias_a> heari: You want to extract audio, that is. :)
[11:12] <cfhowlett> heari, ffmpeg -i foo.mp4 foo.mp3
[11:12] <heari> thx man
[11:12] <k1l_> heari: ffmpeg or soundconverter
[11:12] <cfhowlett> happy2help1
[11:13] <ninaiz> Hi, I installed nvidia propietary (nvidia-current) and I lost mouse buttons in gnome shell, when I open an app for example terminal I can click inside with 2 buttons but not the window borders neither the rest of the desktop neither dock or panel etc.
[11:14] <lorddoskias> I'd like to be able to use the qemu command without a password. I've added the following line to my sudoers: nborisov	ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 but it still asks for a password
[11:14] <ninaiz> That doesnt happens in this machine (Ubuntu with nvidia too) neither in another litle netbook/table with debian + gs + intel
[11:14] <ninaiz> Is there any known bug? Thanks
[11:16] <k1l_> ninaiz: is the driver working correctly? see Xorg.0.log and does it work on guest account?
[11:16] <nerdsville> looks right to me lorddoskias, nborisov ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64
[11:16] <lorddoskias> nerdsville: do i need to do some reloads etc?
[11:16] <nerdsville> nope
[11:17] <GIUSE> #ubuntu.it
[11:17] <nerdsville> maybe remove the spaces?
[11:17] <nerdsville> ALL=NOPASSWD no spaces
[11:17] <lorddoskias> that's what i was going to ask - what should the separator be - spaces or tabs or just a single space?
[11:17] <GIUSE> TRAMPULITY???
[11:17] <nerdsville> only spaces are after the user and before the command
[11:18] <nerdsville> see if that fixes it
[11:18] <ninaiz> Yes, there is an error
[11:18] <lorddoskias> and when i execute the command do i need to give it a full path to the command or just qemu-system-x86_64 should be fine?
[11:18] <ninaiz> adding input device imps/2 logitech wheel mouse ...
[11:18] <cfhowlett> !it | GIUSE,
[11:18] <ninaiz> and then (II) no input driver specified, ignoring this device
[11:18] <nerdsville> full path
[11:18] <GIUSE> HAHAHA  CHOSE YOUR DESTNY TRUUUM FATALITY
[11:18] <nerdsville> It is very specific
[11:19] <k1l_> GIUSE: please stop the capslock and keep this channel clear for ubuntu support only
[11:19] <cfhowlett> GIUSE, this is ubuntu support.  ask your ubuntu questions
[11:19] <nerdsville> you can also set the rule to be for the binary itself if it is in the PATH
[11:19] <lorddoskias> nerdsville: nope, still asking for a password :(
[11:19] <nerdsville> hm, let me try on my end one sec
[11:20] <GIUSE> TRAMPBUNTU 0.0 ?
[11:20] <lorddoskias> but that's a rather trivial task, it should "just work"
[11:20] <ninaiz> k1l_: there is an error, click doesnt work neither in gdm
[11:20] <ninaiz> pointer works and button works inside aplications
[11:23] <nerdsville> works here lorddoskias
 ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: <command>
[11:24] <nerdsville> try that
[11:24] <nerdsville> I guess the spaces don't matter
[11:25] <lorddoskias> nerdsville: nope, still asks for a password
[11:25] <nerdsville> so weird
[11:25] <nerdsville> try closing and reopening the shell?
[11:25] <nerdsville> and are you using visudo?
[11:26] <lorddoskias> ah
[11:26] <lorddoskias> i now what the problem is
[11:26] <lorddoskias> http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67435/sudo-password-prompted-even-when-nopasswd-is-set
[11:26] <lorddoskias> essentially if i put my sudo rule as the LAST LINE in the file then it works
[11:27] <lorddoskias> so apparently ordering is essential
[11:27] <nerdsville> yeah
[11:28] <lorddoskias> i'm trying to find this in the documentation but i can't
[11:28] <nerdsville> should be there
[11:28] <nerdsville> man sudo?
[11:28] <ninaiz> Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 16.04 on 2 machines, desktop and portable, but I connected same mouse in both, the problem is that the same mouse doesnt work in the desktop PC after installing propietary drivers, ponter works but buttons doesnt works, only if I open a windows, inside works but in the window borders no neither the rest of the desktop.
[11:29] <ninaiz> [    29.681] (II) config/udev: Adding input device ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse (/dev/input/mouse0) [    29.682] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[11:29] <ninaiz> This is the error.
[11:29] <ninaiz> Same Ubuntu instalation same mouse, error only here with propietary nvidia not with nouveau.
[11:30] <ninaiz> But perfect working in the other machine with same ubuntu and nvidia propietary.
[11:30] <nerdsville> oh lorddoskias: man sudoers, it is in there :)
[11:31] <rizonz> anyone good @ curl ? I cannot download packages from sourceforge
[11:32] <nerdsville> curl <url> -o <output>
[11:32] <nerdsville> should be all lol
[11:32] <nerdsville> default method is GET so if you are pulling that should be all you need
[11:32] <rizonz> nerdsville: sec, will give you my full line
[11:33] <nerdsville> Oh wait is sourceforge one of those websites that doesn't give you a direct link?
[11:33] <rizonz> indeed, but with wget it works using -O and /latest
[11:33] <rizonz> curl  -s -S  -k  -o /tmp/assp_2.5.5_16366.tar.gz 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/files/ASSP%20V2%20multithreading/2.5.5%2016366/ASSP_2.5.5_16366.zip/download'
[11:33] <nerdsville> -L
[11:34] <nerdsville> add that
[11:34] <rizonz> yeah thought about it
[11:34] <rizonz> nerdsville: looks better indeed :)
[11:34] <rizonz> thanks
[11:35] <nerdsville> np :)
[11:35] <rizonz> heh I'm on heavy medicine because I'm ill... I must have been halicunating :P
[11:36] <nerdsville> rizonz: you should be resting XD
[11:36] <rizonz> nerdsville: I did
[11:36] <rizonz> :D
[11:37] <rizonz> much better now
[11:37] <rizonz> I hade some tube issue
[11:37] <rizonz> it was all stuck
[11:37] <heari> hi guys
[11:38] <nerdsville> hi
[11:39] <ninaiz> does xorg use a .conf file for mouse?
[11:40] <ninaiz> there is no Xorg.conf
[11:40] <akik> ninaiz: look into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d for the config files. xorg.conf is still used if you put it into /etc/X11
[11:41] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[11:41] <rizonz> nerdsville: wanna hug ?
[11:42] <nerdsville> rizonz: no please XD, I do not like hugs at all
[11:42] <ninaiz> akik: the weird thing is that same mouse works in the other machine with same ubuntu install...
[11:43] <rizonz> nerdsville: menhugs are very important!
[11:43] <ninaiz> the change is nvidia-current here and nvidia-361 in the other
[11:43] <ninaiz> nvidia-361 doesnt work here
[11:43] <ninaiz> and if I put here nouveau buttons works OK
[11:43] <ninaiz> is nvidia-304 current the problem
[11:43] <ninaiz> :(
[11:43] <rizonz> nerdsville: do you use cpan >?
[11:44] <nerdsville> What is cpan?
[11:44] <rizonz> perl modules
[11:44] <rizonz> but then from source
[11:44] <nerdsville> Oh I don't, maybe some packages I rely on use it lol
[11:44] <nerdsville> why?
[11:45] <rizonz> I need to figure out why some don't work
[11:47] <mangjuan007> *my first IRC message*
[11:47] <nerdsville> hi mangjuan007
[11:49] <mangjuan007> hey nerdsville!
[11:56] <vmnew> Still very confused about disk blocks. Read the wiki and lots more. A 'block' is a software representation of grouped bits, right? What exactly happens when we copy (let's say 'dd' from disk A to disk B) 'on the block level'. Files aren't important because this is lower - so a certain outline and set of bits are copied over from A to B ? What is the actual 'data' that is copied and how is it different from a file copy if it all just bits
[11:56] <vmnew> at the end?
[11:57] <MonkeyDust> vmnew  for general linux question, ask in ##linux
[11:57] <k1l_> vmnew: files are not a row of bits at all. they can be spread all over the disk. that is what the Filesystem handles.
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> ok
[11:58] <ansari> hello everyone
[11:58] <mgottschlag> hey, anybody here as a thinkpad with top software buttons on the touchpad and can tell us how to make them work properly?
[11:58] <ZoderUck> hello uh
[11:58] <ZoderUck> i have a problem with install npm  and nvm
[11:59] <akik> vmnew: with dd you can copy data from disk a to disk b but then you're not copying files
[11:59] <nerdsville> What issue are you having ZoderUck?
[11:59] <ZoderUck> nersvile i think i did apt-get update or upgrade and from then yo is broken, it did work yes
[11:59] <ZoderUck> ubuntu 14.04
[12:00] <nerdsville> What error does it give
[12:00] <ZoderUck> > spawn-sync@1.0.15 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-environment/node_modules/inquirer/node_modules/external-editor/node_modules/spawn-sync

[12:01] <nerdsville> seems like a permission issue
[12:01] <GIUSE> TRUUUMP SUPER TROLL???
[12:01] <k1l_> GIUSE: stop that
[12:01] <nerdsville> or no such file or directory
[12:01] <nerdsville> is there a way to kick someone?
[12:01] <ZoderUck> ow
[12:01] <GIUSE> KICK KICK
[12:02] <ZoderUck> aha possible yes
[12:02] <k1l_> nerdsville: use !ops trigger to call ops or report in #ubuntu-ops
[12:02] <Xavier__> hi there ! installing ubuntu, where do I have to install grub with 2 hard drives: /dev/sda1 contains windows 7, /dev/sdb1 Windows 7 loader, /dev/sdb2 root partition, /dev/sdb3 swap, and /dev/sdb4 /home ? do I have to erase /dev/sdb1 ?
[12:02] <ZoderUck> nerdsville, i remember i installed it long ago as a normal user
[12:02] <nerdsville> !ops
[12:03] <elias_a> !ops IMHO GIUSE has earned kick & ban.
[12:03] <an-usah> hello
[12:04] <nerdsville> ZoderUck, what does ls -alh that path say
[12:05] <an-usah> i have this issue. the copy is behaving weird in my box. I have a text with format, i copy it once, wither using ctrl+c, ctrl+ins, right click then selecting copy... but it copies only plain text, not the format; i have to copy twice to get the text with the format
[12:05] <ZoderUck> nerdsville, o moment :)
[12:06] <ZoderUck> nerdsville:  ls -alh  on my current path gives  2 times root
[12:06] <ansari> i am having some issue with my touchpad.
[12:06] <nerdsville> I mean the path that is erroring
[12:07] <nerdsville> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-environment/node_modules/lodash/functionsIn.js
[12:07] <MonkeyDust> !touch | ansari
[12:07] <ZoderUck> uh oeps
[12:08] <ZoderUck> nerdsvile, cant i remove all :) and reinstall ?

[12:08] <ZoderUck> uh you are being sarcastic ?:)
[12:08] <nerdsville> no lol
[12:09] <nerdsville> You could remove the package and reinstall
[12:09] <ansari> hello | monkeydust
[12:09] <elias_a> an-usah: What program(s) are you using?
[12:11] <ZoderUck> i..  have  no  f**   cluew

[12:14] <ZoderUck> https://www.junian.net/2017/01/running-your-first-aspnet-core-web-app-on-ubuntu-16-04.html
[12:14] <ZoderUck> maybe you coujld have a look for me ?
[12:14] <ZoderUck> should i install nvm  or is npm   good enough ?
[12:16] <ZoderUck> hello
[12:16] <ZoderUck> somebody here ?
[12:17] <cfhowlett> ZoderUck, patience
[12:17] <ZoderUck> ow.
[12:17] <ZoderUck> if possible before tomorrow
[12:17] <ZoderUck> people suffled   ubuntu in to my trouth
[12:17] <ZoderUck> and now they say it is supported by the community
[12:18] <k1l_> ZoderUck: you follow a howto for 16.04 and wonder its not working on 14.04?
[12:18] <ZoderUck> k1, o yes,
[12:19] <ZoderUck> yes but i dont use the steps for 16.04
[12:19] <k1l_> ZoderUck: you are aware that those ubuntu version are different in used package versions and init systems?
[12:19] <Dead_Office> ZoderUck, -_- maybe choke on it
[12:19] <cfhowlett> Dead_Office, not helpful.  please stop.
[12:19] <Dead_Office> k
[12:19] <Dead_Office> sorry
[12:20] <Dead_Office> sorry ZoderUck
[12:21] <k1l_> ZoderUck: i dont understand? you dont follow the whole howto which is for the wrong ubuntu version anyway?
[12:23] <k1l_> ZoderUck: seems like its an issue with the older npm version on 14.04: see last comment https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5653
[12:24] <k1l_> ZoderUck: so i suggest you either upgrade to 16.04 or you follow a proper howto matching your ubuntu version
[12:25] <rizonz> is it possible to only extract all contents from a folder IN a zip into some folder ?
[12:26] <mcphail> rizonz: you can open in archive manager and drag and drop what you need
[12:27] <ZoderUck> o
[12:27] <ZoderUck> they the management did shuff it in my troath
[12:28] <ZoderUck> better i was born in Afrika or in Greeze
[12:28] <ZoderUck> Greece
[12:28] <ZoderUck> lol
[12:28] <rizonz> mcphail: commandline ;)
[12:28] <ZoderUck> or in Peru, realy i dream of livng in the tropics
[12:29] <cfhowlett> ZoderUck, please stay on topic: ubuntu support.  chitchat in #ubuntu-offtopic.  thank you.
[12:29] <ZoderUck> k1l_:  can i send you in pastebin in private what the status is ? of npm and yo / bower ?
[12:29] <ZoderUck> it did work i remember, oherwhise i was not able to scafold a sqlite web app
[12:29] <k1l_> ZoderUck: ask in here so more people can look at the pastebin and help
[12:30] <ZoderUck> my goal is to remove yo, bower, npm,  and try again?  but continiously i have some permission error
[12:30] <an-usah> ZoderUck, what is your issue?
[12:30] <k1l_> ZoderUck: did you look at the last comment from the link i posted? it names your possible solutions and the cause
[12:31] <ZoderUck> k1l_ no :)
[12:31] <an-usah> and please, be patient, it is sunday morning, really early morning, for some of us
[12:31] <ZoderUck> k1l_ let me look up your loink
[12:31] <ZoderUck> link
[12:31] <an-usah> for the rest is plain sunday xD
[12:31] <k1l_> ZoderUck: i guess you should reduce the chatter in here than and actually look at the answers and links people provide you
[12:31] <ZoderUck> an-usah, i have tried this on ubuntu 14.04  and scafolded a simpe yo asp.net program, did work . etc. https://www.junian.net/2017/01/running-your-first-aspnet-core-web-app-on-ubuntu-16-04.html
[12:32] <ZoderUck> but now  yo is broken,  i tried to install a yo that targets  asp.net  1.0   instead of asp.net 1.1
[12:32] <an-usah> what is yo?
[12:32] <ZoderUck> yo is yo man
[12:32] <ZoderUck> it is a generator, wizard kind of thing
[12:32] <an-usah> that sounded like rap, bro xD
[12:32] <ZoderUck> haha
[12:33] <ZoderUck> yes, haha, buti think yo excists long time ?
[12:33] <an-usah> well, i'm openning that link
[12:34] <am_> gm
[12:34] <am_> hiya ppl
[12:35] <an-usah> ok, back ZoderUck and what problem did that cause?
[12:36] <an-usah> i guess the main problem is... .Net Core is a new citizen in linux world, so i'm afraid it has not the same support on older releases... in fact, i could guess your code is trying to use the old Mono thing rather than running the .Net core instead
[12:38] <ZoderUck> this is the error i have
[12:38] <ZoderUck> npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/is-property
[12:38] <ZoderUck> > spawn-sync@1.0.15 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-environment/node_modules/inquirer/node_modules/external-editor/node_modules/spawn-sync
[12:38] <ZoderUck> > node postinstall
[12:38] <ZoderUck> npm ERR! error rolling back Error: ENOTEMPTY, rmdir '/usr/local/lib/node_modules/yo/node_modules/yeoman-environment/node_modules/inquirer/node_modules/rx/dist'
[12:38] <k1l_> its due to your npm version. see my link
[12:38] <ZoderUck> is this maybe the  dotnet stand alone webservice is running ?
[12:39] <ZoderUck> i am not sure but i did stopthe service with systemctrl stop kestresl_webservice
[12:39] <ZoderUck> o k1l_ aha ok, uh i need to find your link in this chat. wait.
[12:39] <k1l_> ubuntu 1404 doesnt use systemd. it uses upstart
[12:39] <ZoderUck>  https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/5653  <= i will look
[12:41] <an-usah> as a side note, i think if you are planning to do .Net development you should be moving up the machine to any ubuntu 16.04
[12:41] <an-usah> and as k1l_ said the issues are on the versions
[12:42] <an-usah> did you change the references of xenial with trusty when following the tutorial, ZoderUck?
[12:42] <ZoderUck> k1: i  did try  with sudo npm  install -g yo  etc, and  clearnng and cleaning cache, no luck
[12:42] <ZoderUck> pastebin ?
[12:43] <ZoderUck> http://pastebin.com/68vR2bSZ
[12:46] <an-usah> i'm afraid i can't help you with this issue, because i don't know about npm (in fact i ignore what is it for) and yeoman (yo)
[12:48] <an-usah> but i only can say, that if you didn't change the references to "xenial" with "trusty" when following the guide, then the versions are not compatible and causing issues
[12:54] <ZoderUck>  nice link i have for troubleshooters
[12:54] <ZoderUck> http://pastebin.com/z9QnfJq7
[13:11] <Guest27701> How can I use the output of one command in another? e.g echo $pwd
[13:13] <koffeinfriedhof> Guest27701: echo $pwd | ls
[13:13] <Guest27701> what does the pipe mean?
[13:14] <Guest27701> koffeinfriedhof
[13:15] <Guest27701> koffeinfriedhof nvm I got it, thanks
[13:15] <koffeinfriedhof> Guest27701: np :)
[13:17] <ioria> Guest27701, maybe  you're looking for  $PWD  , not $pwd
[13:19] <ZoderUck> node package manager users here ?
[13:27] <dracmas> Anyone make a windows 10 usb installer from ubuntu here? Have a steam machine I want to set up for gaming and not sure how to properly get the iso on the usb.
[13:28] <Grimsley> wouldn't the usual dd command work ?
[13:30] <w9qbj> I'd use   sudo dd if=windowfile.iso  of=/dev/sdx  bs=500M
[13:30] <w9qbj> correcting file names as needed
[13:33] <akik> dracmas: try this http://www.webupd8.org/2016/06/make-bootable-windows-10-usb-install.html
[13:33] <akik> w9qbj: that won't work with the windows isos
[13:33] <dracmas> theres so many different ways listed online from askubuntu.com that ive been confused about it. Most of them dont recommend DD which is why I'm not sure which is the right way to go. Only other way I usually go is the unetbootin but that isn't right either
[13:34] <dracmas> I'll check it out and see how it goes akik
[13:34] <akik> dracmas: i've got another solution too if that doesn't work
[13:40] <aruns> Hi, I am running Fish 2.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 as my default shell. For some reason, when I try to disown a process from the terminal now, such as chromium-browser & and then try to run exit on the terminal, it tries to exit the running process.
[13:41] <aruns> Not sure why this is occurring now, first time it has happened. Any ideas / suggestions?
[13:42] <w9qbj> aruns,  'disown'?  Did you try using nohup
[13:43] <aruns> w9qbj: Disown isn't recognised by Fish, ampersand works though.
[13:43] <aruns> And I haven't tried nohup, I've always used the ampersand.
[13:43] <aruns> Will try now.
[13:43] <an-usah> ZoderUck, i think they could have an irc channel... but i can't guess its name
[13:43] <an-usah> ZoderUck, try asking in the javascript channel
[13:43] <aruns> w9qbj: Nohup works, thanks.
[13:44] <w9qbj> nohup   "No Hangup"  the & just puts the process in the background, I usually use both
[13:44] <aruns> w9qbj: I think I prefer using the ampersand though to disown a process, because I can quickly exit the terminal that executed the process.
[13:44] <aruns> Just not sure why it's acting up now.
[13:45] <aruns> My laptop, a Dell Latitude E5400, has been acting up a bit this week.
[13:45] <an-usah> acting?
[13:45] <an-usah> Hamlet?
[13:45] <an-usah> xD
[13:45] <aruns> For ex., sound plays on both left and right channels on built-in speakers but not with external headphones.
[13:45] <aruns> Although could be a connector issue with the stereo jack.
[13:46] <an-usah> first check you have the right driver for the sound system
[13:46] <aruns> I do.
[13:46] <MonkeyDust> aruns  if you don't get an answer here, ask in #ubuntustudio
[13:46] <aruns> MonkeyDust: Ah OK, thanks.
[13:46] <an-usah> then check you have the right configuration for the hardware
[13:46] <aruns> It's an Intel driver and Intel's pretty well supported.
[13:46] <aruns> I think it has to be a loose cable somewhere.
[13:46] <aruns> Either that or a lot of gunk in the 3.5mm port.
[13:47] <an-usah> aruns, simple, check with another pair of headphones or speakers
[13:47] <aruns> an-usah: I've already done that.
[13:47] <aruns> With two earphones and one pair of headphones.
[13:47] <cfhowlett> aruns, check your sound settings.  I was absolutely convinced that my dell had failed and took it in for expensive repairs.  found out that PEBKAC as I had set it to unusable parameters.  much embarassed
[13:47] <aruns> Although with the headphones, the Ubuntu sound test works but both coming out of one bud.
[13:48] <adrian_1908> I want to use nftables instead of iptables, so I'd like to avoid an rules set by the latter interfering. If `iptables -L -n` prints the following: http://pastebin.com/H8KqF6Ck   – am I good?
[13:48] <aruns> PEBKAC?
[13:48] <aruns> What is that xD
[13:48] <MonkeyDust> pebcak = problem exists between chair and keyboard
[13:49] <aruns> Ah.
[13:49] <an-usah> if you believe the issue is with something broken or just loose on the inside of the laptop, the easiest way to check it is: grab a live cd, boot the machine with it, and test, if you can reproduce the problem, then the issue is on the HW, but if you can reproduce the sound, and not the problem, the issue is in the SW
[13:50] <an-usah> MonkeyDust, lol! we use a slightly different name for that nowadays... it is a tier|layer 8th trouble
[13:50] <aruns> Here are my alsamixer settings by the way.
[13:50] <aruns> Just in case that helps.
[13:50] <aruns> http://imgur.com/a/w3xXf
[13:50] <aruns> I haven't really messed around with alsamixer too much, admittedly.
[13:52] <aruns> And the output of cat /proc/asound/card0/codec* | grep Codec is Codec: IDT 92HD71B7X
[13:52] <aruns> Codec: Intel Cantiga HDMI
[13:52] <an-usah> i prefer the term "an 8th layer issue" than pebcak
[13:52] <noah__> hey whats up guys
[13:53] <an-usah> aruns, no, i think the isue is not in alsamixer, but in the ubuntu settings for audio
[13:55] <me_> hi
[13:56] <BluesKaj> an-usah: I don't see the default automute option in alsamixer, it should be right beside the loopback, if you find it disable it with the down arrow
[13:59] <an-usah> no one seems to have any clue on my issue
[13:59] <an-usah> not even Google
[13:59] <BluesKaj> an-usah:  did you see my post above?
[13:59] <mcphail> ioria: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218169 - I think out problem is an old firefox bug combined the new multi-process firefox being slower
[14:00] <an-usah> BluesKaj, about the copy issue? no i'm afraid i missed it
[14:00] <ioria> mcphail, let me check it
[14:00] <BluesKaj> not the copy , an-usah
[14:01] <an-usah> ah BluesKaj no that's not my isue, that's aruns one
[14:01] <Guest79603> he(I
[14:01] <mcphail> ioria: the hidden spinny thing isn't present on the logged-in page
[14:01] <aruns> an-usah: It was a PEBCAK issue lol
[14:01] <ioria> mcphail, yeah
[14:01] <BluesKaj> an-usah:  ok sorry
[14:01] <aruns> Headphone cable not fully plugged in.
[14:01] <aruns> xD
[14:02] <an-usah> my issue is with the copy/paste... i have text with format and i copy it, when i paste it it has no format... but if i copy the text twice, e.g., pressing ctrl+c twice, then the system copies the format too (also happens with ctrl+ins and using the mouse)
[14:02] <BluesKaj> aruns:  : I don't see the default automute option in alsamixer, it should be right beside the loopback, if you find it disable it with the down arrow
[14:02] <ioria> mcphail, the last comment is yours, right  ?
[14:02] <mcphail> ioria: yes
[14:03] <aruns> BluesKaj: It's working now anyway, but thanks :)
[14:03] <aruns> BluesKaj: Headphone jack not fully secured.
[14:03] <BluesKaj> aruns:  ok , good
[14:03] <an-usah> aruns, i had a similar issue with a device, i had to "carve" the plastic around to allow the jack to fully get it xD
[14:03] <aruns> BluesKaj: And did you mean Internal? Because that's to the left of Loopback and is not muted.
[14:03] <aruns> an-usah: Oh, so the plastic was covering the hole?
[14:04] <aruns> :P
[14:04] <aruns> an-usah: Oh yeah also, is it bad that I destroy most of my earphones? Just that I find they're very shoddily made.
[14:04] <aruns> Like I gently pull one of the earbuds out of my ear and the whole earbud snaps off.
[14:05] <an-usah> haha, no, the jack was too wide so the plastic of the jack and the plastic of the device wer an obstacle, so i needed to make the plastic hole wider
[14:05] <ioria> mcphail, today the google startpage hits 85 % cpu :(
[14:05] <aruns> Ah :P
[14:06] <BluesKaj> aruns:  no , most alsamixer settings include an automute function by default, so you don't get blasted when you open the desktop for the first time, that's what in was told by an "expert" when i complained about it being turned on by default
[14:06] <aruns> BluesKaj: I see.
[14:07] <mcphail> ioria: gotta keep those invisible boxes spinning
[14:08] <ioria> mcphail, yep
[14:09] <mcphail> Probably not an easy bug to fix without side effects
[14:10] <BluesKaj> aruns:  it's a pet peeve of mine , over half the audio problems I've seen on ubuntu are due to the automute being enabled by default
[14:11] <ioria> mcphail, thanks for the link  btw
[14:11] <mcphail> ioria: np
[14:14] <lord4163> Why do mail aliases not work?
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> lord4163  start from the beginning, what are you trying and what happens
[14:16] <lord4163> MonkeyDust: I want to relay email through Zoho using postfix, and it doesn't allow it to send as fabian@example.com, it only allows info@example.com
[14:16] <lord4163> MonkeyDust: so in /etc/aliases I added fabian:        info@example.com
[14:17] <lord4163> MonkeyDust: I send an email and it still sends it as fabian@example.com.....
[14:17] <lord4163> MonkeyDust: and yes I did restart postfix and newaliases
[14:17] <mcphail> lord4163: aliases are for incoming mail redirects
[14:18] <lord4163> mcphail: so where do I set the outgoing stuff?
[14:20] <tomreyn> lord4163: whats the error message that's logged?
[14:21] <lord4163> tomreyn: https://paste.kde.org/ppunvubou/op7sqj/raw
[14:21] <lord4163> tomreyn: I want ALL email to be sent using info@example.com
[14:21] <lord4163> ALL
[14:21] <lord4163> ALL
[14:22]  * lord4163 is highly annoyed
[14:22] <ZoderUck> This may mean that you have
[14:22] <ZoderUck> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
[14:22] <ZoderUck> distribution
[14:23] <realmist> hi
[14:23] <ZoderUck> hi
[14:23] <tomreyn> lord4163: sounds like zoho rewrites your sender address then
[14:24] <tomreyn> lord4163: i.e. you'll need to reconfigure zoho
[14:24] <realmist> when i use the mouse, i can't move it , the arrow doesn't appear, but I can once I move it with the acutal mouse instead o the keyboard , so how do i use only *keyboard* ?
[14:24] <lord4163> tomreyn: No, it's postfix that's the issue.
[14:24] <lord4163> tomreyn: it has to send from info@ not from fabian@
[14:24] <realmist> And reduce my dependence on mouse to zero ?

[14:28] <ZoderUck> k1l_  how do i st my ubuntu back to  a previous version, i think the apt-get upgrade did this
[14:28] <k1l_> ZoderUck: please read the answers given to you and follow the advise.
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> lord4163  there's alos the channel #postfix
[14:28] <k1l_> ZoderUck: i guess you added a 3rd party repo that breaks the package system now
[14:28] <MonkeyDust> also*
[14:29] <ZoderUck> k1 aha ok
[14:29] <ZoderUck> and now ?
 ZoderUck: put all the output into paste.ubuntu.com and show the link here
[14:30] <ZoderUck> all of it ?
[14:31] <k1l_> yes
[14:31] <ZoderUck> http://pastebin.com/vNZxZ5Tj
[14:33] <k1l_> ZoderUck: please show the output of "apt-cache policy dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-1-003177" on pastebint
[14:33] <ZoderUck> ok
[14:33] <mcphail> lord4163: IIRC, you may need to use postmap rather than the alias file for this, if you want it to happen automatically. The alternative is to have a "From:" header in your email
[14:34] <ZoderUck> k1l_ thanks for helping man. !! http://pastebin.com/9NYDvR6t
[14:34] <k1l_> ZoderUck: you are again trying to install 16.04 (xenial) packages on your 14.04 system. this cant work
[14:34] <ZoderUck> k1l_ i have an ubuntu 14.04
[14:35] <ZoderUck> o
[14:35] <k1l_> dont mix ubuntu releases
[14:35] <ZoderUck> lol
[14:35] <ZoderUck> o
[14:35] <ZoderUck> uh, what shouljd i do then ?
[14:35] <k1l_> sudo apt purge dotnet-dev-1.0.0-preview2-1-003177
[14:36] <k1l_> then remove that repo
[14:39] <ZoderUck> aha ok
[14:39] <ZoderUck> i did remove it ok, thanks

[14:39] <ZoderUck> and now this apt repository works yes indeed
[14:41] <Maimster> Morning all, any Superbowl predictions?
[14:42] <cfhowlett> ubuntu support here Maimster.  stay on topic please.  thank you.
[14:42] <heari> :D
[14:42] <dracmas> Just wanted to thank whoever helped me if they're still on. The winusb program loaded on my usb key perfectly and installation is now running.
[14:42] <Maimster> cfhowlett: :o) Sure thing.
[14:44] <k1l_> Maimster: #ubuntu-offtopic is the chatter channel if you want to continue :)
[14:47] <ZoderUck> k1l_ i have now this, http://pastebin.com/ZTrGwDxc
[14:47] <ZoderUck> you mnight know it
[14:49] <k1l_> ZoderUck: why dont you upgrade to 16.04 if you want to run stuff that needs 16.04?
[14:50] <ZoderUck> uh, yes that seems a good idea
[14:50] <ZoderUck> but lot of stuff runs better on 14.04
[14:50] <ZoderUck> k1l_ i think my npm is broken,  i need to install yeo man
 ZoderUck: why dont you upgrade to 16.04 if you want to run stuff that needs 16.04?
[14:51] <ZoderUck> lot of stuff runs better on 14.04
[14:51] <ZoderUck> for example mysql
[14:51] <ZoderUck> more support on 14.04
[14:51] <k1l_> mysql runs fine on 16.04
[14:51] <ZoderUck> ow, i did try it , did not work good
[14:51] <w9qbj> On my laptop the upgrade  14.04->16.04 went smoothly, on the Desktop - 16-04 would sort of boot, but not complete to a login.  Had to do a new load, glad I had the laptop to build a boot/load stick
[14:51] <ZoderUck> and other services ?
[14:52] <k1l_> ZoderUck: then look if you can get the proper versions for 14.04 if you want to 14.04
[14:52] <ZoderUck> k1 i have the dot net working
[14:52] <k1l_> *want to stay on 14.04
[14:52] <ZoderUck> but now is the point  npm and npm install -g yo
[14:53] <k1l_> i showed you the solutions some time ago on the link i gave you
[14:53] <kang0> (kang0) What's mbr and gpt
[14:53] <ZoderUck> and the solution was ? to clear the cache ?
[14:53] <ZoderUck> the link was not clear what the solution was
[14:53] <k1l_> kang0: MAster Boot Record. gpt is the new partition table used for uefi.
[14:54] <kang0> How to convert one to another
[14:54] <ZoderUck> k1l_ maybe if you could help me step by step with npm reinstall or  that instal of   bower and yo
[14:54] <k1l_> kang0: afaik you cant convert without a full wipe of the drive
[14:54] <ZoderUck> i need bower anyways
[14:54] <kang0> Gpt not  compatible with bios?
[14:54] <kang0> I think uefi is new version of bios
[14:54] <k1l_> kang0: what is the issue at all?
[14:55] <kang0> Learning
[14:55] <kang0> And curious
[14:55] <kang0> Is all of them dependant upon os?
[14:55] <k1l_> kang0: no
[14:57] <k1l_> ZoderUck: i am not an npm specialist. so i geuss you want to ask the npm guys about that
[15:04] <ZoderUck> o ok
[15:04] <ZoderUck> thanks k1
[15:04] <an-usah> k1l_, the question is... here's npm channel here?
[15:04] <an-usah> i don't know, but afaik npm is a javascript thing, so go to the javascript channel
[15:04] <federico> I dont speak english
[15:04] <an-usah> spanish?
[15:05] <federico> yes
[15:05] <ouroumov> !es | federico
[15:05] <k1l> !alis
[15:05] <k1l> ZoderUck: an-usah ^
[15:05] <w00tburger> Is anyone aware of anything out there that would help document cron jobs in an entire server farm?
[15:05] <ZoderUck> uuh what ?
[15:06] <an-usah> LOL!
[15:06] <an-usah> w00tburger, you can make a cronjob to extract the coronjob settings and send to a central server
[15:07] <an-usah> buuuut... this is not the way yu document things on servers
[15:07] <w00tburger> Sure, but what about if I am coming into a new environment where nothing had been documented
[15:08] <an-usah> w00tburger, the proper way of doing that is to record things, to keep a log of what is being done in a server
[15:08] <w00tburger> I guess the damage has already been done by the previous sys admin, now I need to go in and see what is hitting our production environment
[15:08] <an-usah> if you have a server farm, and there's no documentation, man, oh, man, i don't want to be in your shoes
[15:08] <w00tburger> Sure, and I fully agree. I didn't engineer the servers. And yeah, I don't want to be in my own shoes either
[15:08] <an-usah> you have to go one by one and get the information
[15:09] <w00tburger> No, that's not creative thinking.
[15:09] <an-usah> well... you can make a usb with a script to help you get the information automatically
[15:09] <w00tburger> I currently had a script that went in and dumped them, but the results were sporadic.
[15:09] <an-usah> but, i'm afraid you have to write your own bash script for the tast yourself, as you are the one who knows what information do you need
[15:10] <k1l> w00tburger: why dont you read out the cronjobs?
[15:10] <an-usah> (and please sacrifice some virgins to the IT gods, for them to make your life easy)
[15:11] <w00tburger> K1, have a script that basically goes out to /var/spool/cron and dumps that info
[15:11] <w00tburger> So every users cron on the system is dumped
[15:12] <an-usah> then dump the data to a central sevrer
[15:12] <an-usah> *server
[15:12] <w00tburger> Well, the idea is to temporarily record the data in a sql lite database
[15:13] <an-usah> creating a directory there (scp would work) with the name of the host and voila
[15:13] <w00tburger> Then get it imported to a CMDB
[15:13] <an-usah> do you need to keep track of the servers from now?
[15:13] <w00tburger> But I was just asking if there was a better, way
[15:13] <w00tburger> Nope- we will be running all the jobs through jaspersoft after all of this data is collected
[15:14] <an-usah> or do you only need to document the current status of them?
[15:14] <k1l> w00tburger: i dont understand your issue, to be honest
[15:15] <an-usah> if you need to work with them from now and the future, then think of installing in all of them some software like Nagios or alike to keep track of all of them
[15:15] <an-usah> in a centralized server
[15:15] <w00tburger> I need to find every cron job in a 1200 server farm
[15:16] <w00tburger> I was asking if there is somthing out there that already exists today that would help find them
[15:16] <k1l> i doubt it. i would guess a bash script would do
[15:17] <an-usah> my answer is: if you need to do this only once, then do a good bash script and run it in each machine (hire a bunch of interns if needed)
[15:18] <an-usah> but if you need to do this tasks or other similar tasks from time to time, then install a software on all the machines to monitor them and to help you deploy some scripts in all of them
[15:18] <kang0> Os resides in partitions?
[15:18] <an-usah> kang0, elaborate, please
[15:18] <ducasse> w00tburger: check out gnu parallel to run a script on a ton of hosts
[15:19] <kang0> I think mbr has partition table
[15:19] <an-usah> yes, mbr holds the partition table for a mbr partitioned disk
[15:19] <kang0> I don't know what else partition contain except user data
[15:19] <ZoderUck> i have a dependency ass diseaster
[15:19] <ZoderUck> the arse has ben disaaarsed.
[15:19] <k1l> kang0: partitions contain the data
[15:19] <kang0> Os lies in any one of partition?
[15:19] <k1l> ZoderUck: watch your language in here
[15:20] <ZoderUck> the arse has been disaaarsed, tadaaaah  inpossible dependecy  in a circle
[15:20] <w00tburger> Thanks ducasse, I will check that out for sure
[15:20] <ZoderUck> ow
[15:20] <ZoderUck> k1 i am getting crazy\
[15:20] <an-usah> kang0 basically... yes... but more complex setups like LVM or raid go beyond that
[15:20] <AlexPortable> I'm using preseed, how can I setup the keyboard and locale? I have d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US but it keeps asking me for the locale and keyboard
[15:20] <kang0> an-usah which partition os lies usually?
[15:20] <k1l> kang0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning
[15:20] <kang0> In which
[15:20] <k1l> kang0: in that one you installed it to
[15:21] <k1l> kang0: what is your issue?
[15:21] <kang0> Curiosity
[15:21] <k1l> kang0: then read the wiki article
[15:21] <ducasse> kang0: this channel is for ubuntu support, if you're just curious about something unrelated try #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux
[15:21] <an-usah> kang0, hmmm, unlike Windows the setup in linux is done the other way, we don't sit the OS in an usual partition, we say this partition, block device or alike is where the OS is going to be stores, and that information is saved (somehow) in the boot partition for it to be able to find the system
[15:22] <kang0> It's tough to inerpret for me wiki
[15:22] <k1l> kang0: you can switch to your native language on wikipedia if that helps
[15:22] <kang0> Nope k1l
[15:23] <prajwal_> hi
[15:23] <an-usah> kang0 the shortest answer, in ubuntu there'usually a boot partition, the one marked as the boot partition, it contains the information of where the system partition is
[15:23] <alkisg> AlexPortable: I have these in an old script of mine, not sure if they help at all: debian-installer/language=el keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=gr
[15:24] <kang0> Lvm or raid go beyond partitions? an-usah
[15:24] <alkisg> an-usah: afaik that's only true for the windows boot loader, while grub ignores the boot flag
[15:24] <kang0> Where?
[15:24] <AlexPortable> alkisg: on seperate lines, or one line?
[15:24] <AlexPortable> and with or without d-i
[15:24] <alkisg> AlexPortable: I pass them to the cmdline, not on a seed script, so on one line
[15:24] <an-usah> kang0, but ubuntu allows you to have a linux installed all in just one partition, all in different simple partitions, all in different partitions and virtual partitions on top of LVM or all in virtual partitions on top of LVM on top of encrypted partitions... or any combination of all of that
[15:25] <kang0> ducasse both need registration
[15:26] <ducasse> kang0: so register
[15:26] <an-usah> kang0, yes, LVM is a logical volume manager, you can have one "partition" a LVM logical volume, that is being stored in 4 different physical hard drives, same with RAID, and with both systems you can have the partitions "mirrored" on different devices
[15:27] <an-usah> it is not strictly 4 drives, the number could vary
[15:28] <kang0> an-usah boot partition=mbr?
[15:29] <AlexPortable> alkisg: ah okay
[15:29] <an-usah> nope, the partition that is marked as active
[15:29] <AlexPortable> how do I disable the timeout when starting from CD?
[15:29] <AlexPortable> its in isolinux.cfg
[15:30] <AlexPortable> alkisg: nope still asks me for keyboard
[15:30] <alkisg> AlexPortable: btw, are you using the text mode installer, or the graphical one, ubiquity?
[15:31] <AlexPortable> text mode
[15:31] <AlexPortable> i dont think ubiquity can do preseed
[15:31] <alkisg> AlexPortable: check the syslinux documentation, I think it's TIMEOUT=xxx in the cfg file
[15:31] <AlexPortable> yes but what should i set the timeout to?
[15:31] <alkisg> I'm sure its' there in the syslinux wiki
[15:32] <alkisg> There's also an option for uninterruptible boot, noescape or something
[15:32] <mr_exalt> Hello
[15:33] <ldsh> Hi, today I have sound. Any Idea on what I could do to have sound everyday? (I'm using the optical output of a Creative SoundCore™ 3D Gaming Audio from the GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard, and I have the exact same problem of random sound at startup on Archlinux)
[15:33] <mr_exalt> I have created an luks encrypted partition on an external drive, i can mount it via cli, however when i connect the drive to the machine it wont show up in nautilus, why is that ?
[15:37] <BluesKaj> ldsh:  what does cat /proc/asound/modules give ?
[15:53] <ldsh> BluesKaj,  0 snd_hda_intel
[15:53] <ldsh>  1 snd_hda_intel
[15:55] <Caleb_> Hello can someone help me?
[15:55] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: probably
[15:55] <Caleb_> When i go into my documents/pictures/videos/music it says this You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of “Documents”.
[15:55] <AlexPortable> open a terminal
[15:56] <Caleb_> This location could not be displayed.
[15:56] <AlexPortable> and type ls ~/
[15:56] <Caleb_> Ok i will now
[15:56] <AlexPortable> and pastebin the output
[15:56] <AlexPortable> uh wait
[15:56] <AlexPortable> ls -la ~/
[15:57] <Caleb_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23934413/
[15:57] <k1l> Caleb_: did you mess with root or sudo?
[15:57] <Caleb_> No
[15:57] <MelRay> Hey everyone hope things are well with you. I have a HP Envy Touchsmart 17 laptop. Sound sounds very funky through the speakers although not so bad that audio cannot be understood. I'm running 16.10 MATE and wondered if there are any suggestions for an equalizer that can be added to perhaps at least add more control over the audio?
[15:57] <Caleb_> I got ubuntu yesterday and shortly had that problem
[15:57] <Caleb_> Like in 2h of downloading it
[15:58] <k1l> Caleb_: eh, did you run chmod commands?
[15:58] <Caleb_> I downloaded OpenJBK and tryed to download minecraft
[15:58] <Caleb_> I think i did from google to try to fix it
[15:58] <k1l> Caleb_: looks like you removed the read permissions  from a lot of stuff
[15:58] <Caleb_> I dont know how
[15:59] <Geo> With mdadm, I want to change the partition size on a disk. Right now, the only way I know how is to fail the disk, remove the disk, change the partition size, then add the disk, which takes hours to resynch. Is there a way I can perhaps not fail the disk, so that I can just --re-add it later and not need to synch it?
[15:59] <Geo> I've not failing and just removing, but it tells me the disk is busy
[15:59] <k1l> Caleb_: "cat .bash_history | nc termbin.com 9999"
[15:59] <k1l> Caleb_: show the url here
[15:59] <Caleb_> What do i do?
[16:00] <newcoder> Which wifi internet modem is recommended for ubuntu linux?
[16:00] <k1l> Caleb_: run that command in terminal, it will print a url, show that url here. it includes all the commands you ran in your terminal.
[16:00] <Caleb_> kk
[16:00] <MelRay> Another possibility could have been if he tried to add him/herself to a group and when done it removed the existing permissions that were set during install.
[16:01] <Caleb_> http://termbin.com/p0ne
[16:01] <k1l> MelRay: look at the ls -al paste he showed. the folders are missing the r permissions at all
[16:01] <Caleb_> Well theres only 1 user
[16:01] <k1l> "chmod -r -x+X"   this command was the issue
[16:02] <newcoder> I need to connect to internet wirelessly in linux.
[16:02] <newcoder> Any suggestion?
[16:02] <Caleb_> How do i undo it?
[16:02] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: by chmod -r -x+X (especially the -r) you removed the permissions for your own folder
[16:02] <Caleb_> Lmao
[16:02] <MelRay> newcoder: Well when you are booted into the OS do you see an option to click that will let you join a wireless network?
[16:02] <k1l> Caleb_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/561369/resetting-home-permission
[16:02] <Caleb_> that was the awnser cause it wouldnt let me boot minecraft
[16:03] <Caleb_> it said "this file is exampt
[16:03] <Caleb_> like wouldnt let me open :P
[16:03] <dumle29> So a deb package complains about php >=5.3 while php is PHP 7.0.13-0ubuntu0.16.10.1
[16:03] <newcoder> MelRay: Which modem to buy?
[16:03] <dumle29> I think the ubunty fucks with it
[16:03] <k1l> Caleb_: i dont know where you got that command advice from, but -r is not a solution
[16:03] <mr_exalt> I have created an luks encrypted partition on an external drive, i can mount it via cli, however when i connect the drive to the machine it wont show up in nautilus, why is that ?
[16:04] <k1l> dumle29: put all the output onto paste.ubuntu.com and show the url here
[16:04] <Caleb_> So what command should i do to fix it?
[16:04] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: -r is basically 'remove read permission'
[16:04] <Caleb_> Or will i have to reboot it
[16:04] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: rebooting won't help, you changed things. k1l gave you a link
[16:04] <dumle29> k1l: will do
[16:05] <MelRay> mr_exalt: You need to edit FSTAB and add an entry for the external drive you want to mount at boot
[16:05] <mr_exalt> MelRay: i only want to mount it when i connect the drive, and i want a menu to appear which asks me for my passphrase
[16:05] <Caleb_> Ok so i did this caleb@caleb-HP-2000-Notebook-PC:~$ sudo chmod a+rx /home [sudo] password for caleb:
[16:05] <Caleb_> And entered my password
[16:06] <Caleb_> and it gened no text
[16:06] <dumle29> k1l: http://aste.ubuntu.com/23934467/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/23934468/
[16:06] <dumle29> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23934467/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/23934468/ fixed
[16:06] <dumle29> the first link was borked
[16:06] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: yes that's right. due to safety you don't see your password
[16:06] <dumle29> it's not piping it correctly :/
[16:06] <k1l> dumle29: i dont see an issue there
[16:06] <MelRay> mr_exalt: Then you are going to have to create a script that can handle that for you. You are going to have to read quite a bit to learn how to do that
[16:06] <Caleb_> I know
[16:06] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: so someone next to you don't now how many lettrs there are in your password
[16:06] <dumle29> k1l: No it's not piping it all
[16:06] <Caleb_> But it showed nothing after this
[16:06] <AlexPortable> press enter?
[16:06] <dumle29> k1l: I'm doing sudo gdebi package.deb | pastebinit
[16:06] <Caleb_> I did
[16:07] <mr_exalt> MelRay: im busy doing that right now :(
[16:07] <k1l> dumle29: no
[16:07] <Caleb_> And it just took me to where i can type again
[16:07] <dumle29> k1l: What then?
[16:07] <k1l> so you are insatlling a 3rd party deb?
[16:07] <AlexPortable> then it executed the command Caleb_
[16:07] <dumle29> yea
[16:07] <Caleb_> Ah k but nothing happend?
[16:07] <newcoder> Which usb wifi modem is recommended/suggested here?
[16:07] <dumle29> k1l: Yep, I'm installing something called ebot
[16:08] <k1l> Caleb_: nothing shown means: no error.
[16:08] <AlexPortable> Caleb_: do a ls -la ~/ again
[16:08] <k1l> dumle29: then copy it manually to paste.ubuntu.com
[16:08] <AlexPortable> and compare it to the first time you did that command
[16:08] <BluesKaj> usb wifi dongles on linux are hit and miss ..
[16:09] <MelRay> mr_exalt: Then why in the heck are you wasting bandwidth asking a question about why it doesn't do what you expect it to do? Obviously you have determined a solution but may be lacking the skill(s) to accomplish it. Try asking a less generic question that give a representative example of what you have done and what it is that you are getting in way of an error
[16:09] <Caleb_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23934492/
[16:09] <newcoder> BluesKaj: What do you mean by hit and miss?
[16:09] <dumle29> k1l: http://pastebin.com/raw/XzPeRQPF
[16:10] <mr_exalt> MelRay: because i dont want to write a script when there is already functionality to handle it.
[16:10] <k1l> dumle29: since ubutnu 16.04 ubuntu doesnt have php5 anymore. it uses php7 now
[16:10] <k1l> dumle29: so software depending on any version of php5 will fail
[16:11] <dumle29> k1l: Oh, but the dependency is >=5.3 Is that strictly in php 5?
[16:11] <dumle29> gotcha
[16:11] <Monona> I'm trying to figure out what is this command "Web Content" that is now showing up when I run "top" and having my browser open.  Is there a way to see what it is?
[16:11] <BluesKaj> some work some don't and it's hard to predict due to which router and modem in the chain , one dongle woks on a pc and not on another on the same network newcoder, that's been my expreience
[16:11] <k1l> dumle29: php version7 is now php7. so he php5 >=5.3 will never be satisfied because it always will be 0
[16:11] <ducasse> mr_exalt: just add it to fstab with noauto flag, then mount it with 'sudo mount /mountpoint'
[16:12] <dumle29> k1l: Gotcha. Thanks
[16:12] <MelRay> mr_exalt: Like I explained ask the question in a more specific way. I guarantee you won't get the help you see by asking a vague question like you first posted. Ignorance is fixable failure to follow specific help on how to get assisted just pisses people off.
[16:12] <dumle29> k1l: any way to ignore that dependency? I know the code will work with php7
[16:13] <MelRay> When it isn't followed that is
[16:13] <k1l> you can force dpkg to ignore dependencies as warnings
[16:14] <k1l> dumle29: run dpkg -i --force-depends something.deb
[16:14] <wizic> Does anyone know how to add an bind option to gnome-disks
[16:15] <dumle29> k1l: Thanks, that did the trick :)
[16:15] <OerHeks> wizic, 'bind option to gnome-disks' ? what is your goal?
[16:17] <wizic> Should I create symbolic links or use a bind option from previous installion
[16:17] <rizonz> anyone a clue how to find out why Ubuntu doesn't know some cpan modules ?
[16:21] <Monona> Maybe that was unclear:  When I'm running "top", a process called "Web Content" now appears in the list of programs running when I have my web browser open.  I don't recognize this program, and would like to know more about what it is, in case it's somehow malicious.  How would I go about getting more information about one of the processes running on my computer?
[16:22] <ducasse> wizic: for what? what are you trying to accomplish?
[16:23] <ducasse> Monona: iirc that belongs to firefox, after they split the ui process from content rendering.
[16:23] <ioria> Monona, can you tell us how much cpu does it take ?
[16:25] <OerHeks> 'Web Content' sounds like a crashed firefox container/plugin
[16:25] <Monona> ducasse:  Ah, got it.  Wasn't sure what that was.
[16:26] <Monona> ioria:  Right now it's around 1-3%, but it's been as high as 40% I think.
[16:27] <ioria> Monona, thanks
[16:27] <Monona> 0erHeks:  I was wondering, but I've restarted the browser and computer, and it's still there.
[16:27] <Monona> As long as it
[16:27] <ioria> Monona, i'am afraid we have to get used to it until a fix
[16:28] <iambatman> is it possible to have hardware acceleration during video playback in firefox?
[16:28] <ioria> Monona, mcphail has found an interesting bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1218169
[16:28] <Monona> ioria:  That's fine, I just didn't remember seeing it previously.  As long as it's supposed to be there, I'm not that worried about it.
[16:29] <ioria> Monona, before it was different ... ff ran  in just one instance
[16:29] <ioria> Monona, now, in two
[16:30] <lucyfx> https://hastebin.com/roxowasape.pas
[16:30] <lucyfx> any ideas? I cant connect to my server using ssh
[16:30] <lucyfx> it seems to look for the /root/.ssh
[16:30] <lucyfx> which I dont think exists
[16:30] <lucyfx> wait, it exists nvm
[16:31] <Monona> ioria:  Interesting.  What is the reason for that?  (might be above my technical capacity to understand, but I'm curious...)
[16:31] <ioria> Monona, also above mine
[16:32] <ducasse> Monona: one thing is that if a page crashes the ui will still respond
[16:32] <ioria> Monona, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox
[16:32] <Monona> ioria:  :)  Thanks for the info!
[16:33] <ioria> Monona, yourewelcm
[16:33] <Monona> ducasse:  Ah, got it.
[16:33] <ldsh> Hi, today I have sound. Any Idea on what I could do to have sound everyday? (I'm using the optical output of a Creative SoundCore™ 3D Gaming Audio from the GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 motherboard, and I have the exact same problem of random sound at startup on Archlinux)
[16:33] <ducasse> ldsh: creative has a horrible record for linux support
[16:34] <ioria> Monona, you can experiment wit a pkill "Web Content"
[16:34] <ldsh> ducasse, yes, I read that, but right now it's working verry fine, the sad part is that next boot, it will probably just be mute.
[16:35] <ldsh> ducasse, It just looks like random (but more often not than yes), that I can have sound. Very annoying.
[16:37] <kang0> (an-usah) kang0, but ubuntu allows you to have a linux installed all in just one partition, all in different simple partitions, all in different partitions and virtual partitions on top of LVM or all in virtual partitions on top of LVM on top of encrypted partitions... or any combination of all of that
[16:37] <Monona> ioria: What would that do?  Just kill the content on the pages I'm browsing?
[16:37] <kang0> Linux extend beyond one partition?
[16:37] <wizic> Does anyone know where I can locate my bookmarks in chrome installation folder
[16:38] <cotin> Anyone that can recommend this laptop for Ubuntu?: https://www.komplett.no/product/898654/gaming/gaming-pc/baerbar/asus-rog-gl702vm-173-fhd-matt-g-sync#
[16:38] <ioria> Monona, yep
[16:38] <ducasse> kang0: look, take this to ##linux - we do ubuntu support for people with actual problems here
[16:39] <ioria> Monona, but only in the active tab
[16:40] <Monona> ioria:  Got it.  Interesting...
[16:40] <ioria> Monona, yeah... for us, not for our cpu :þ
[16:41] <Monona> ioria:  Is that something that will be changed in future firefox updates?  It doesn't seem like a huge hit to performance, but those little drags can add up I guess...
[16:42] <ioria> Monona, ia'm confident
[16:42] <ducasse> Monona: this is how firefox is supposed to work now according to mozilla
[16:44] <Monona> ducasse:  Yeah, reading this on why: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Multiprocess_Firefox/Motivation
[16:44] <Monona> Still kinda over my head, but I think I understand why they're doing it.
[16:45] <ducasse> Monona: there was recently an article on, ars technica (i think) that explained it well
[16:46] <Monona> ducasse:  Maybe this one:  https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/12/firefox-takes-the-next-step-towards-rolling-out-multi-process-to-everyone/
[16:48] <Dicken> Hello, anyone here who might help me with a booting problem at 16.04 server?
[16:49] <okwaho> whats up?
[16:50] <Caleb__> Alex thank you for the help!
[16:50] <Dicken> my system won't boot. booting stucks at "Started disk manager", then nothing happens
[16:50] <okwaho> details? whats your system...how are u booting...from a usb key
[16:52] <Dicken> i've got a hp proliant ml10 v2  and i'm booting from ssd connected to sata
[16:52] <ioria> Dicken, have you tried recovery mode from grub screen ?
[16:52] <okwaho> and the original install was on the SSD?
[16:53] <Dicken> yes
[16:53] <okwaho> ok...like ioria says...have you tried recovery
[16:55] <Geo> With mdadm, I want to change the partition size on a disk. Right now, the only way I know how is to fail the disk, remove the disk, change the partition size, then add the disk, which takes hours to resynch. Is there a way I can perhaps not fail the disk, so that I can just --re-add it later and not need to synch it?
[16:55] <Geo> I've not failing and just removing, but it tells me the disk is busy
[16:56] <Dicken> I reach recovery menu, but don't know what to do there
[16:56] <ChadTaljaardt> HEllo :)
[16:57] <ChadTaljaardt> Im having a issue, when i boot up my computeri get the login screen, i enter my password and the box dissapears and then i get a black screen and then i get sent back to the login screen
[16:57] <ChadTaljaardt> the password is correct because i can still ssh into the computer
[16:58] <okwaho> Dicken try to do a fsck first
[16:58] <ChadTaljaardt> the resolution is wrong as well
[16:59] <ioria> Dicken, check the disk and then root shell
[16:59] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, your video card and the driver in use ?
[17:00] <ChadTaljaardt> i dont think so
[17:00] <Dicken> I did fsck but everything seems to be ok
[17:00] <ChadTaljaardt> it was working before but then i restarted and it started happening
[17:00] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, open a console ctrl+alt+f1 (or f2)
[17:00] <okwaho> try booting in failsafe X
[17:01] <Dicken> how do i do this?
[17:01] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria done that and logged in :)
[17:01] <ChadTaljaardt> now what
[17:01] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2
[17:01] <okwaho> recovery mode
[17:01] <okwaho> u should have the option
[17:02] <ChadTaljaardt> okay
[17:02] <tomreyn> Geo: what about --grow ?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> okwaho:  whoever you're adressing , please use his/her nick to avoid confusion
[17:02] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, can you paste it ? we need to see it
[17:02] <ChadTaljaardt> it says VGA compartible controller : Nvidia Corporation GP104 (Geforce GTX 1070)
[17:03] <ioria> oh
[17:03] <okwaho> Blueskaj...ok
[17:03] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 |nc termbin.com 9999    it'll give you an url to paste here
[17:03] <ChadTaljaardt> okay
[17:03] <Dicken> No, I don't find anything there called failsafee
[17:04] <ioria> Dicken, root shell ... in this way (if it boots) you can check the logs
[17:04] <okwaho> Dicken what options do u see
[17:05] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/fsyf
[17:05] <ChadTaljaardt> there you go
[17:05] <Dicken> resume, clean, dpkg, fsck, grub, network, root, system-summary
[17:05] <ioria> Dicken,  did you install the nvidia driver ?
[17:06] <Dicken> nvidia driver?
[17:06] <ioria> Dicken,  sorry, not for you
[17:06] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, did you install the nvidia drivers ?
[17:06] <BluesKaj> ChadTaljaardt:  looks like you need to install the nvidia-367 driver
[17:06] <ChadTaljaardt> im pretty sure i have it
[17:06] <ChadTaljaardt> and yeah
[17:07] <okwaho> dicken try dpkg...jst in case
[17:07] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, dpkg -l | grep nvidia |nc termbin.com 9999
[17:07] <Dicken> I did. no packages to be updated
[17:08] <okwaho> ok and it still stuck if you rebbot
[17:08] <Dicken> yep
[17:08] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/hysx
[17:08] <okwaho> hmmm
[17:09] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, you installed from pps, right ?
[17:09] <ioria> *ppa
[17:09] <okwaho> Dicken you get no errors or messages
[17:09] <ChadTaljaardt> im not sure
[17:09] <ChadTaljaardt> i installed it from the "additional drivers" but
[17:09] <ChadTaljaardt> but i installed cuda too
[17:09] <ioria> !info nvidia-378
[17:10] <Dicken> No, it just stucks. I even can plugin a usb drive and the recognition is displayed. but booting won't continue
[17:10] <BluesKaj> the 378 is a an edgy driver
[17:10] <okwaho> Dicken...well only option i see is to reinstall...of course without removing your files
[17:10] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, dmesg | grep Kernel |nc termbin.com 9999
[17:11] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/c3zu
[17:12] <Dicken> oh, ok. Any idea what f*cked up my system?
[17:12] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,    ls -al ~/.Xauthority  |nc termbin.com 9999
[17:12] <ldsh> BluesKaj, Re, sorry I did not saw you message quickly enough. cat /proc/asound/modules
[17:12] <ldsh>  0 snd_hda_intel
[17:12] <ldsh>  1 snd_hda_intel
[17:12] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/bhdp
[17:12] <okwaho> Dicken; could be many things...no clue
[17:13] <Dicken> Ok, thanks!!
[17:13] <okwaho> Dicken..make sure you select install keeping your files...it's ussually real quick
[17:13] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  cat ~/.xsession-errors   |nc termbin.com 9999
[17:13] <okwaho> gonna take you less time doing that than trying to figure it out
[17:13] <BluesKaj> the the 367 isn't as new but I think it 's more stable, ChadTaljaardt
[17:14] <ducasse> Dicken: boot up in recovery mode _after_ trying to boot normally once. then open a root shell and go through the logs looking for errors.
[17:14] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/5x0x
[17:14] <ChadTaljaardt> i think it might have been installed when i installed cuda and cudnn
[17:14] <ChadTaljaardt> but i need those
[17:14] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  using unity , right ?
[17:14] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria unity?
[17:15] <ChadTaljaardt> like the game engine?
[17:15] <ChadTaljaardt> i needed it for tensorflow for my uni
[17:15] <BluesKaj> the desktop ChadTaljaardt
[17:15] <ChadTaljaardt> i have no idea
[17:15] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  your desktop , i mean unity, kde, xfce ?
[17:15] <ChadTaljaardt> how can i tell
[17:16] <ldsh> BluesKaj, And sudo lspci -vv contains http://pastebin.com/i6kCfdv3
[17:17] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ls -l /usr/share/xsessions/
[17:18] <ChadTaljaardt> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 238 Oct  4 12:16 ubuntu.desktop
[17:18] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ok, secure boot is enabled or disabled ?
[17:18] <ChadTaljaardt> i think disabled?
[17:19] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  i think to purge nvidia, but without it i'am afraid you'll boot in a blank screen and you'll need nomodet
[17:19] <ChadTaljaardt> oh no
[17:19] <ioria> *nomodeset
[17:19] <ChadTaljaardt> the nomodeset caused issues before
[17:21] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  can you tell us what have you done right before  ?
[17:21] <BluesKaj> ldsh:  sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then run sudo alsa -force relaod
[17:21] <ArrEmmArrEff> ubu1610 did they remove the right click make link for shortcuts in nautilus?
[17:21] <ropo> for some reason 'nginx' dretcory is not created under /etc/ when i install it?
[17:22] <ArrEmmArrEff> i couldnt find any info on it
[17:22] <BluesKaj> ldsh:  correction sudo alsa -force reload
[17:22] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  or we can purge 378 and install 375
[17:23] <ldsh> BluesKaj, sudo alsa force-reload executed
[17:23] <ChadTaljaardt> sorry was getting food
[17:23] <Caleb__> Hey does anyone know how i install winwar or is it even compatable for linux/
[17:23] <ChadTaljaardt> i think just remove 378 and install 375
[17:24] <ChadTaljaardt> and the issue with nomodeset i had before was the computer wouldnt start when using ubuntu 16.04 and nothing helped haha
[17:24] <ldsh> BluesKaj, Here is the result: http://pastebin.com/nPU0b2gj
[17:24] <ldsh> ChadTaljaardt, Which graphic card?
[17:24] <ArrEmmArrEff> how do i make a shortcut in ubuntu 16.10
[17:25] <ChadTaljaardt> gtx 1070
[17:25] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, of we can install lubuntu-desktop so you can (maybe) work  on that with a gui and not in console
[17:25] <ChadTaljaardt> i dont mind console that much
[17:26] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, ok,  sudo service lightdm stop
[17:26] <ChadTaljaardt> done
[17:26] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, oh, sorry it a desktop or notebook ?
[17:26] <ioria> desktop
[17:26] <ChadTaljaardt> desktop
[17:27] <ArrEmmArrEff> does anyone know how to make a shortcut in ubuntu 16.10?
[17:27] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, apt-cache policy nvidia-375
[17:28] <ducasse> !patience | ArrEmmArrEff

[17:28] <ArrEmmArrEff> sorry
[17:28] <Talche> Guys, can anyone please help me with sendmail not sending mails out? Running /var/spool/mqueue/v15HOrrD003030 (sequence 1 of 1)
[17:28] <Talche> v15HOrrD003030: locked
[17:29] <ArrEmmArrEff> i wasnt sure if nobody knows or if they are busy
[17:29] <ChadTaljaardt> sec
[17:29] <ChadTaljaardt> http://termbin.com/60pm
[17:30] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  before reinstall driver, could you try the Guest Account ? sudo service lightdm start
[17:31] <ChadTaljaardt> sure
[17:31] <ducasse> Talche: sendmail as in eric allman's sendmail or in another mta binary called sendmail?
[17:31] <Talche> mta called sendmail :) ducasse
[17:32] <ChadTaljaardt> it never let me log in either
[17:32] <ArrEmmArrEff> got it thanks
[17:32] <ArrEmmArrEff> have a good day
[17:33] <ducasse> Talche: i haven't used sendmail itself in at least 15 years, but iirc you can flush the queue with mailq
[17:33] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ok, but to be honest idk much about cuda or how to remove it
[17:34] <Talche> ducasse when i mailq i get the list of queued mails, but they just don't want to go out of the machine....
[17:34] <ubuntu> hi
[17:35] <ducasse> Talche: check the man page, there should be an option to flush. then check mail errors log.
[17:35] <BluesKaj> ldsh:  also add this line to the bottom of your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file, 'options snd-hda-intel model=auto' without the quotes. then save the file. that should solidify your kernel module/audio driver
[17:35] <Guest36818> ok
[17:35] <ChadTaljaardt> i can just reinstalled the os its ok
[17:35] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  stop again lightdm and sudo apt purge nvidia*    (with the *)
[17:36] <Talche> ducasse, i get this error log Feb  5 17:57:43 baserver sendmail[20141]: unable to qualify my own domain name (baserver) -- using short name

[17:43] <ducasse> Talche: what is in /etc/mailname? also, is Dj set in the m4-file?
[17:44] <magiq> hello I have ~/.local/share/applications/franz.desktop file with content http://pastebin.com/HBuzuYx1 when I write update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/ it error with the message Could not parse file "/home/magiq/.local/share/applications/franz.desktop": Key file contains line '?Desktop Entry' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment
[17:44] <magiq> Whyy ??
[17:44] <ducasse> deniz946: 16.04? there is no php5 for 16.04 and up.
[17:46] <Talche> ducass mailname file is empty. I am not sure what you point when you say DJ
[17:47] <theparadoxer02> ducasse, there is no folder /etc/mailname
[17:47] <ducasse> Talche: try putting the domain name you want to accept mail for in it, then try flushing the queue.
[17:47] <ducasse> theparadoxer02: sorry, message was not for you :)
[17:48] <ChadTaljaardt> okay its done ioria
[17:48] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sudo apt autoremove
[17:48] <theparadoxer02> ducasse, then help me too
[17:50] <ChadTaljaardt> done that too
[17:50] <magiq> hello I have ~/.local/share/applications/franz.desktop file with content http://pastebin.com/HBuzuYx1 when I write update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications/ it error with the message Could not parse file "/home/magiq/.local/share/applications/franz.desktop": Key file contains line '?Desktop Entry' which is not a key-value pair, group, or comment
[17:50] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[17:50] <ducasse> Talche: Dj (not DJ) is a configuration parameter for sendmail in its m4-based system
[17:50] <ChadTaljaardt> done
[17:51] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sudo apt install nvidia-375
[17:52] <ducasse> Talche: i do need to say, though, that unless you have a very good reason to choose sendmail i would use something else instead.
[17:52] <alkisg> magiq: what's the output of "file franz.desktop"?
[17:53] <magiq> alkisg: what do you mean? I pastebin source
[17:53] <alkisg> magiq: "file" is a command, run it and tell us the output
[17:53] <ChadTaljaardt> done
[17:53] <magiq> alkisg: ok, 1 moment
[17:53] <ChadTaljaardt> :)

[17:53] <alkisg> magiq: right, remove bom, save as plain utf file
[17:53] <ChadTaljaardt> ok
[17:54] <magiq> alkisg: thank you very much
[17:54] <alkisg> magiq: i.e. use "save as" in your editor, and select "utf8", not "utf8 with bom". np, cheers
[17:55] <magiq> alkisg: I'm still cant see entry at menu, should I restart ubuntu?
[17:55] <magiq> alkisg: but now no errors seems it works

[17:57] <alkisg> magiq: I didn't understand you there, what do you mean?
[17:57] <volkswagner> I just created a new vm from scratch and no file was created in /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/nvram, why are other VM's dependent on such a file?
[17:57] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   ok, don't worry about it .... do you get to the login screen ?
[17:57] <ChadTaljaardt> ill check
[17:58] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  did you reboot or not  ?
[17:58] <Dicken> okwaho how do i reinstall without partitioning and losing all my data?
[17:58] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria i rebooted

[18:01] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,    NVIDIA: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module.
[18:02] <magiq> alkisg: okay, I'll try to logout and see then

[18:19] <Talche> hwo can i solve this issue guys?
[18:21] <lm1> hello all
[18:21] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | nc termbin.com 9999
[18:21] <lm1> I have some questions regarding BIND9
[18:21] <lm1> I am trying to figure out where I would add an A record?
[18:22] <ducasse> Talche: try putting the domain name you want to accept mail for in /etc/mailname, then try flushing the queue.
[18:22] <Talche> i tried
[18:22] <Talche> doesn't work
[18:22] <ducasse> Talche: sorry, didn't see your message at first as you typo'ed my nick :)
[18:22] <ducasse> Talche: i do need to say, though, that unless you have a very good reason to choose sendmail i would use something else instead.
[18:22] <ChadTaljaardt> weird EriC^^ it wont work
[18:22] <Talche> i can recieve the email, but can not send it out....
[18:23] <ChadTaljaardt> Use netcat.
[18:23] <ChadTaljaardt> Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='UTF-8'>
[18:23] <ChadTaljaardt> BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
[18:23] <Talche> i don't need to use sendmail, but i had so many trouble with postfix, and i couldn't solve it so i tried sendmail :(
[18:23] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[18:23] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | pastebinit
[18:24] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   Bios Features ?
[18:24] <ducasse> Talche: weird, postfix tends to just work. i'm using exim right now, but that's mostly just to check it out. sendmail is a hugely complex beast, however.
[18:24] <soee> can i somehow test my hdd with some gui (for bad blocks etc.) ?
[18:24] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935494/
[18:24] <ChadTaljaardt> i can try look again but it means i have to pause EriC^^
[18:25] <Caleb__> Hey can anyone tell me how i would install winwar?
[18:25] <ChadTaljaardt> brb ill reswtart and test it
[18:25] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: dpkg -l | grep nvdia | pastebinit
[18:25] <ChadTaljaardt> You are trying to send an empty document, exiting.
[18:25] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: it might not show if you're not using UEFI
[18:25] <ChadTaljaardt> i think i am using UEFI
[18:26] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sorry, typo dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit
[18:26] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935508/
[18:26] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: nah, mokutil said EFI vars aren't set earlier
[18:26] <magiq> Damn ubuntu terminals looks awefull
[18:26] <ikonia> ubuntu terminals ?
[18:26] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: try the recommended driver
[18:26] <Talche> hmm
[18:26] <ikonia> they are the same terminal applications as every other distro
[18:26] <magiq> I need split screen and for this reason I need multiplexer that works a bit overhead
[18:26] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
[18:26] <Talche> i could maybe retry postfix..
[18:26] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: sudo apt-get install nvidia-378
[18:27] <magiq> how to split ubuntu terminal ?
[18:27] <Talche> as apt able to purge sendmail ?
[18:27] <ikonia> "ubuntu terminal" ?
[18:27] <Talche> is*
[18:27] <magiq> I need split screen two terminals
[18:27] <ikonia> magiq: what terminal emulator do you normally use ?
[18:27] <magiq> iterm
[18:27] <ikonia> magiq: so install item then
[18:27] <magiq> ikonia: item?
[18:27] <ikonia> magiq: the terminals that default in ubuntu, are the same as every other major distro
[18:27] <ikonia> magiq: iterm
[18:27] <ducasse> Talche: first off, I expect it to go a lot smoother. try the postfix page on the  ubuntu wiki. second, a lot more people can help you with it as it is far more widely used now.
[18:28] <magiq> ikonia: iterm is osx software
[18:28] <Talche> ok...
[18:28] <Talche> gonna try now
[18:28] <ikonia> magiq: I thought there was a port
[18:28] <ducasse> Talche: apt should purge it, yes.
[18:28] <lm1> Could anyone help me with some BIND9 questions?
[18:28] <magiq> ikonia: nope
[18:28] <Bluerat> Dear all, I upgraded my ubuntu 16 when i reboot I stuck on login screen with this message "recovering journal clearing orphaned inode", any advice!
[18:29] <ikonia> lm1: you can just ask or use the bind channel
[18:29] <ducasse> magiq: you mean two terminal buffers in one window?
[18:29] <lm1> thanks!
[18:29] <ikonia> magiq: try tmux then
[18:29] <magiq> ducasse: yes
[18:29] <EriC^^> Bluerat: it didn't boot fine?
[18:29] <ducasse> magiq: try terminator
[18:29] <magiq> both of them by default looks awefull for eyes
[18:29] <magiq> I used terminator years ago
[18:29] <ikonia> magiq: in what way "look awful"
[18:29] <ducasse> magiq: fix your font, then
[18:29] <ikonia> it's a blank screen with text on it
[18:30] <ikonia> what looks so bad ?
[18:30] <Bluerat> EriC^^: I can't login when I typed my password it stucked
[18:30] <EriC^^> Bluerat: does the guest account work?
[18:31] <ChadTaljaardt> okay done, should i reboot?
[18:31] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^
[18:31] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: yeah
[18:31] <Bluerat> EriC^^: works fine quest account
[18:31] <EriC^^> Bluerat: press ctrl+alt+f1, login then type ls -l ~/.Xauthority
[18:32] <EriC^^> Bluerat: check if the owner is your user
[18:32] <EriC^^> (alt+f7 gets you the gui again)
[18:32] <magiq> ikonia: ducasse hard to explain, maybe it is because unity
[18:32] <ikonia> magiq: unity is nothing to do with it
[18:32] <Bluerat> EriC^^: OK let me try
[18:33] <Newbie3> Hello, new user here. I just installed ubuntu for the first time and it boots to a black screen with white text. On a mobile IRC client
[18:33] <EriC^^> !nomodeset | Newbie3
[18:35] <Newbie3> I'm sorry, but that's all gibberish to me.
[18:35] <Newbie3> I don't understand any of it.
[18:35] <EriC^^> Newbie3: did you visit the link?
[18:35] <volkswagner> using virt-manager why do some guests create nvram file and others do not? How can I force a vm to create the nvram file?
[18:35] <Newbie3> Yes. It makes no sense.
[18:36] <Newbie3> I can't even boot into ubuntu, so how would I do any of that...
[18:37] <ioria> Newbie3, you do it before ubuntu boots, in the grub screen
[18:37] <OerHeks> Newbie3, scroll to th part "How to temporarily set kernel boot options on an installed OS (not wubi)"
[18:37] <OerHeks> all explained there
[18:37] <ioria> Newbie3, press shift to make it visible, right after the bios screen
[18:39] <Newbie3> I don't have a line that says "Linux /boot", I have one that says Linux /vmlinuz..."
[18:39] <ioria> Newbie3, ok, find quiet splash and add   nomodeset then f10
[18:41] <Newbie3> Okay, done. Now I have a purple screen. Should I just wait or?
[18:41] <ioria> Newbie3, if it hangs, press esc to see what its doing
[18:41] <Newbie3> ESC does nothing
[18:42] <Newbie3> (That key *might* be broken-ish. I've had it be flakey when pausing games in Windows)
[18:42] <ioria> Newbie3,  so wait a minute then try to open a console  ctrl+alt+f1 (of f2)
[18:42] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ i rebooted and its still the same
[18:43] <Newbie3> That does nothing as well. (Also the fans have turned off)
[18:43] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, i's persiste with secure boot
[18:43] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, i'd persist with secure boot
[18:43] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria ill look again for the secure boot thing
[18:44] <ioria> Newbie3,  ok, so you are left with Recovery Mode that you can select from the same grub screen
[18:45] <ioria> Newbie3,  Advance Mode
[18:45] <Newbie3> Already done :3.
[18:45] <ioria> Newbie3,  Options
[18:45] <BluesKaj> ChadTaljaardt:  have you tried the nvidia-367 driver , it's older , but stable
[18:45] <Newbie3> Okay, so big grey menu.  http://i.imgur.com/042Ojvq.jpg
[18:46] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: try BluesKaj 's suggestion
[18:46] <ioria> Newbie3,  you can try resume , but it'll probably fail ....
[18:46] <ChadTaljaardt> i still cant see it in the bios ioria
[18:46] <ChadTaljaardt> and i can try
[18:47] <Newbie3> whoa. I didn't touch anything, this happened:  http://i.imgur.com/Z6DkfYI.jpg
[18:47] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  can you paste   sudo parted -l | pastebinit
[18:47] <Newbie3> I swear I didn't do anything.
[18:47] <Talche> ducass, got trouble with postfix now :(
[18:47] <Talche> not working either....
[18:47] <Talche> mail.log gives following info Feb  5 19:44:59 baserver postfix/smtp[15010]: 471AD61715: to=<ammar.mirvic@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=91, delays=0.09/0.02/90/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.68.27]:25: Connection timed out)
[18:48] <ioria> Newbie3,  fresh install ?
[18:48] <Newbie3> 15 minutes old, never booted once
[18:48] <Newbie3> Well, booted successfully.
[18:49] <ioria> Newbie3,  16.04 ?
[18:49] <Newbie3> I think? I just clicked download on ubuntu.com
[18:49] <Bluerat> EriC^^: it says -rw------- 1 root root 132
[18:49] <EriC^^> Bluerat: type sudo chown $USER: ~/.Xauthority
[18:49] <Adit> Approximately, how long will it take for 'diff' command to finish on 2 directories which are 170 GB each?
[18:50] <ppf> Adit: no way to tell. couple minutes maybe
[18:50] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935663/
[18:50] <EriC^^> i'd think more in terms of hours
[18:50] <Newbie3> I seriously know nothing about Linux. I just wanted to use it to write Ruby apps because I'm tired of Mac.
[18:50] <EriC^^> it has 2 read 340gb and compare them
[18:50] <Talche> ducass still here ?
[18:51] <ppf> EriC^^: true, but the comparison is significantly faster than O(n^2)
[18:51] <Newbie3> So, this is what I get when I boot normally and run "systemctl default", if nothing else it's an error message.
[18:51] <Bluerat> EriC^^: it brings nothing
[18:51] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  yes, you installed in legacy mode probably because of Win 7 ?
[18:51] <Bluerat> EriC^^: nothing appears
[18:51] <Newbie3> http://i.imgur.com/HswrhIc.jpg
[18:51] <ChadTaljaardt> its windows 10
[18:52] <ducasse> Talche: i'm here
[18:52] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  i'am not sure 367 will help, but you can try
[18:53] <Talche> ducass, got trouble with postfix now :(
[18:53] <Talche> not working either....
[18:53] <Newbie3> Does nouveau, HUB0 or GPC0 mean anything?
[18:53] <ducasse> Talche: type the first few characters of my nick and press tab, you don't need to type it in full
[18:53] <Talche> mail.log gives following info Feb  5 19:44:59 baserver postfix/smtp[15010]: 471AD61715: to=<ammar.mirvic@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=91, delays=0.09/0.02/90/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[74.125.68.27]:25: Connection timed out)
[18:53] <ChadTaljaardt> im  in the process of trying it :)
[18:53] <Talche> ok bro ty
[18:53] <Guest1846> f
[18:54] <Newbie3> (Been googling, slow because I'm on a phone)
[18:54] <ducasse> Talche: that is a connection problem, different from what you had with sendmail. this looks like a transient error.
[18:54] <Newbie3> Nvidia drivers are nouveau right? I have an nvidia card.
[18:54] <Talche> so what you suggest?
[18:54] <\9> Newbie3: that or the proprietary drivers provided by nvidia
[18:55] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  the point is that the module is not active so maybe we can try a sudo nvidia-xconfig
[18:55] <ducasse> Talche: try sending to another domain. that mail should get delivered later when it can successfully connect.
[18:56] <onio_> I am having problem with wlan0 not reachable any idea. I am using Edimax usb dongle on Ubuntu 12.04
[18:56] <Newbie3> Ionia, command not found
[18:56] <Bluerat> EriC^^: nothing appears from chown $USER: ~/.Authority what that means ..
[18:56] <onio_> running under Virtualbox
[18:56] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria its just rebooting then we can do it :D
[18:56] <\9> Newbie3: nvidia-xconfig comes with the proprietary drivers
[18:56] <Talche> ducasse: i gave 2 domains, none work :( neither hotmail nor gmail
[18:56] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ok
[18:56] <ducasse> Talche: similar error for the other mail?
[18:57] <Newbie3> So, I don't have them? That makes sense, it is a FOSS operating system. So, FOSS drivers as standard is sensible.
[18:57] <onio_> when I if bring up the interface it seems to communicate but then dies after left unattended
[18:57] <\9> Newbie3: i don't know if nouveau has anything simialr
[18:57] <EriC^^> Bluerat: it worked
[18:57] <Newbie3> Maybe my system can't use them?
[18:57] <\9> Newbie3: right.
[18:57] <EriC^^> Bluerat: try logging in again
[18:57] <\9> Newbie3: you can use them, but you need to install them manually
[18:57] <\9> !nvidia | Newbie3
[18:57] <Newbie3> So, would uninstalling the FOSS ones help?
[18:58] <Talche> ducasse: same error..
[18:58] <Bluerat> EriC^^: so simple to fix it .. thanks
[18:58] <EriC^^> Bluerat: no problem
[18:58] <Newbie3> \9 I'm sure that page makes perfect sense to you, but it midaswell be cuneiform for me.
[18:58] <\9> Newbie3: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia maybe this one is clearer
[18:59] <Caleb__> Can someone help me? I need to install winwar or a program like it
[18:59] <EriC^^> Caleb__: 7z
[18:59] <ducasse> Talche: can you ping those hosts from a shell?
[18:59] <Newbie3> \9 Okay, that makes enough sense for me to know that I can't do it XD. No GUI, and from my trying to do stuff... no internets? Maybe Ethernet would work.
[19:00] <EriC^^> Caleb__: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[19:00] <OerHeks> p7zip-full & p7zip-rar
[19:01] <Caleb__> How do i open it?
[19:01] <Caleb__> I have already installed it
[19:01] <bivo> is there a system wide equalizer? I'd like to be able to watch blacksmithing and machining videos without the piercing high pitched ring of the anvil of the scream of the power tools either making my ears bleed with headphones or disturbing everyone else if played on speaker
[19:01] <\9> Newbie3: it should be possible to install it from the command line, assuming you can get there
[19:01] <EriC^^> Caleb__: sudo apt-get install p7zip-rar
[19:02] <EriC^^> Caleb__: i think it's 7z x /path/to/file
[19:02] <guardian_> hey eric
[19:02] <Newbie3> Yeah, no internets. Grabbing a cable, unless someone knows how to get wifi from a terminal
[19:02] <Talche> ducasse: seems i cant ping them....
[19:02] <Caleb__> How do i open a folder with it?
[19:02] <Caleb__> I have a .zip.pack that i cant not open
[19:03] <ducasse> Talche: so you have a network problem.
[19:03] <Caleb__> .zip.part
[19:03] <\9> .zip.part sounds like an unfinished download
[19:03] <Caleb__> oh
[19:03] <Caleb__> haha
[19:03] <Talche> ducasse: you might know what could it be or shall i ask on #network
[19:03] <Caleb__> could be why
[19:03] <ducasse> Talche: can you ping 8.8.8.8?
[19:03] <ChadTaljaardt> okay im back ioria
[19:04] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  same issue with 367 ?
[19:04] <Newbie3> Okay, plugging in an Ethernet cable still gives me "failed to fetch" on sudo apt-get nvidia-367
[19:04] <\9> they're not available by default, you need to add the extra repository, or "ppa"
[19:05] <Talche> ducasse: i can ping 8.8.8.8
[19:05] <OerHeks> Newbie3, first update.
[19:05] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria yeah same issue :(
[19:05] <magiq> Why this not working http://pastebin.com/UKbXFSLK
[19:05] <Newbie3> Failed to resolve, I have no internet.
[19:05] <Bashing-om> !info nvidia-367 xenial
[19:05] <onio_> how else can I kill a process. I am trying to kill wpa_supplicant but not stopping
[19:06] <Newbie3> Or my cable is a POS.
[19:06] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: pastebin/var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:06] <onio_> kill -9 <process id>
[19:06] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:06] <onio_> I have also tried pkill -9 wpa_supplicant but it is not stopping
[19:06] <ducasse> Talche: ok, so it is restricted to certain hosts/networks. it could be a problem with your isp and their connections, in which case it will go away when they fix it.
[19:07] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935769/
[19:07] <OerHeks> magiq, 1. use full paths. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
[19:07] <Newbie3> Tried a different cable, ping google.com fails.
[19:07] <EriC^^> onio_: try stopping the service sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant
[19:07] <magiq> OerHeks: ok, I'll try

[19:07] <Talche> ducasse: so what could i do at the moment?
[19:07] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria yeah i see that
[19:07] <onio_> out of curiosity can anyone seem my post
[19:07] <ChadTaljaardt> what does that mean?
[19:07] <pix1> few questions here
[19:08] <onio_> Ha Eric thanks
[19:08] <pix1> is it possible to install full desktop enviroment on Ubuntu Server and manage it via ultraVNC? WILL IT WORK?
[19:08] <ducasse> Talche: nothing, i think. i could ping the ip from your error with no problem, and i doubt the problem is with your machine.
[19:09] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: try sudo modprobe nvidia
[19:09] <Talche> ducasse: hmm... i still think i'm doing something wrong....

[19:12] <gde33> ah found a web page about it, nvm
[19:12] <Talche> can it be a problem with port 25 or something ?

[19:13] <ChadTaljaardt> 16.10
[19:14] <ChadTaljaardt> 16.04 wouldnt work for me
[19:14] <Talche> ducasse: when you say pastebin to paste them here ?
[19:14] <pix1> ChadT why?
[19:15] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, i'd purge 367, reinstall 375 or 378 and try sudo nvidia-xconfig
[19:15] <ducasse> !pastebin | Talche
[19:15] <ChadTaljaardt> ok
[19:15] <arooni> h
[19:15] <Talche> ubottu: thank you
[19:16] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, but the issue might be in SB
[19:16] <Talche> ducasse: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935847/
[19:17] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, stop lightdm before
[19:17] <ducasse> Talche: try 'telnet 74.125.130.27 25'
[19:17] <ChadTaljaardt> im just trying to purge the driver quick
[19:17] <Talche> ducasse: it doesn't go through
[19:17] <Talche> ducasse: keeps on trying
[19:19] <ChadTaljaardt> ill reboot then stop lightdm and then do the sudo nvidia-xconfig?
[19:19] <ducasse> Talche: now try that with the other ip address
[19:19] <Newbie3> I removed and blacklisted and initramfs  all nouveau, and I still boot to a black screen on a fresh install.
[19:19] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, yup
[19:20] <Newbie3> Well, slightly not so fresh now. But either way, I need help. I have no idea what to do next and google isn't helping.
[19:20] <Talche> ducasse: cant telnet on 25 even the other....
[19:20] <\9> did you try the nomodeset parameter?
[19:20] <Newbie3> That was the first thing we tried.
[19:20] <\9> hm right
[19:20] <Newbie3> Hung the whole system, couldn't ESC or go to a terminal.
[19:20] <\9> does /var/log/Xorg.0.log tell anything?
[19:21] <\9> since the console works then X must be freaking out for some reason
[19:21] <ducasse> Talche: this could be your isp blocking it, i guess...
[19:21] <Talche> ducasse: so... can i use any other port instead?
[19:22] <Newbie3> \9 what am I looking for?
[19:22] <\9> any errors near the end of the file
[19:22] <ducasse> Talche: not really
[19:23] <Talche> ducasse:  :( soo.. i can't get this outbound server to work ? :(
[19:23] <ducasse> Talche: looks like it. you'll need to use a vps or something.
[19:23] <Newbie3> \9 I don't see anything, but you might  http://i.imgur.com/1QMYEX4.jpg
[19:23] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria https://cl.ly/0G100R1X2h2S
[19:24] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, and with sudo ?
[19:25] <ChadTaljaardt> https://cl.ly/3Q3m2W3E0o3p
[19:25] <ChadTaljaardt> it created a file
[19:26] <Talche> ducasse: but if i can telnet my public IP on 25 does it still mean it is blocked by isp?
[19:26] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, yes, reboot ... (sig !)
[19:26] <wedgie> Talche: doing it from inside your network is one thing... can you do it from outside?
[19:27] <Talche> wedgie: 1 sec ill try from 3g :D
[19:27] <ducasse> Talche: that is incoming.
[19:28] <Rxbad> Hello
[19:29] <ChadTaljaardt> okay now what :D ioria
[19:29] <Rxbad> What
[19:29] <ducasse> Talche: also, you can connect to that without going through your isp since it is local.
[19:29] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  i assume you cannot login ....
[19:30] <Newbie3> I have no idea how but I managed to get Ethernet working.
[19:30] <ChadTaljaardt> nope :(
[19:30] <Rxbad> nice
[19:30] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:31] <Newbie3> Installing nvidia-367 now
[19:31] <ChadTaljaardt> ok
[19:31] <logosv> Odd question, but how do you disable the disabling of the touchpad while typing in Ubuntu 16.10(gnome)?
[19:31] <Rxbad> Is that a GT 710
[19:31] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   lspci -k | grep VGA -A 2 | pastebinit
[19:31] <Rxbad> Drives
[19:31] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: egrep -HR "drm|modeset" /etc/modules /etc/modules.d | pastebinit
[19:31] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23935988/
[19:32] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ empty document
[19:32] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie i cant telnet 25 on anything
[19:32] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie is it possible that something in my configuration is blocking outgoing telnet?
[19:32] <ducasse> Talche: you tested from 3g?
[19:32] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   we want to try with nomodeset ?
[19:32] <wedgie> Talche: outbound seems unlikely unless you set up something for that on purpose
[19:32] <ChadTaljaardt> we can try
[19:33] <Rxbad> Newbie
[19:33] <ducasse> Talche: no, unless you have a firewall. you said you don't.
[19:33] <Rxbad> Do you have a GT 710
[19:33] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   from grub , press 'e' or 'tab' find 'vmlinux line' and after quiet splash add   nomodeset
[19:33] <Newbie3> RxBad, 740M
[19:33] <ChadTaljaardt> okay hold on :)
[19:33] <wedgie> Talche: I haven't been following the whole conversation, but if you suspect that the ISP might be blocking 25 (as some do) then you might just contact them and ask. In some cases you may even be able to get them to allow it if there were blocking it
[19:34] <Rxbad> Ok
[19:34] <ducasse> wedgie: that is basically what we've narrowed it down to
[19:34] <Newbie3> It's my work machine, a Toshina Satelite P... something or other ... shiny aluminum heat sink of love.
[19:35] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie if i telnet incoming that doesn't tell anything... gonna call the isp now..
[19:35] <ducasse> Talche: btw, where in the world are you?
[19:35] <Rxbad> I have a 710 on the box
[19:35] <Newbie3> I got it because Apple appears to have decided that sanity isn't in mind for the future of their product line. So, I was hoping to move to Linux :3
[19:36] <Rxbad> Ok
[19:36] <Rxbad> Good luck
[19:36] <wedgie> also, if you're trying to set up a mail server at home (again, i haven't read the whole convo) then you're probably going to have a bad time. Email is a beast these days. Mostly because of anti-spam stuff. Even if you can get it working from a technical standpoint, a lot of places might reject mail from you just because you're coming from a residential IP
[19:36] <Talche> ducasse: i live in Bosnia :D
[19:36] <Talche> ducasse: haaha i guess you pinged me and saw a dot on the map :D hahaha
[19:36] <wedgie> or because the PTR for your ip doesn't match your domain
[19:37] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria okay its booting
[19:37] <ChadTaljaardt> added the line
[19:37] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ok
[19:37] <Newbie3> Black screen again. Wow.
[19:37] <ducasse> Talche: aha. an ip address from a dynamic range in bosnia will be blocked on a *lot* of mail servers
[19:37] <wedgie> not just from bosnia. From anywhere, really
[19:37] <ChadTaljaardt> okay its booted ioria
[19:38] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie so if i try to mail one of my mails on a paid host, should go through?
[19:38] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  try to login
[19:38] <wedgie> Talche: you'll probably have better luck. But no gurantees. As I said, mail is a beast
[19:38] <ChadTaljaardt> same issue haha ioria
[19:38] <ducasse> Talche: please clarify what you mean
[19:38] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[19:39] <Rxbad> There is squirrel mail server it's nice
[19:39] <ducasse> Talche: if you mean using a vps instead, then that usually works as long as the provider has a decent reputation.
[19:39] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie i just called the isp and the port is not blocked by them...
[19:39] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: do you have other kernels installed?
[19:40] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria rebooting after that command
[19:40] <ducasse> Talche: then the servers themselves are blocking you
[19:40] <ChadTaljaardt> and EriC^^ dont think so
[19:40] <Newbie3> Is there anyone I can call or pay to deal with this ?
[19:40] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  yes,  paste ls /boot | pastebinit
[19:40] <wedgie> Talche: well, if you can't hit port 25 on your own local server from the outside then you haven't done your portforward correctly
[19:40] <dumle29> Newbie3: What's going on?
[19:40] <Newbie3> Like, official ubuntu support or something?
[19:41] <Rxbad> Only paid version
[19:41] <dumle29> Newbie3: Don't expect the plug and play experience that you are used to. Linux does still take a bit of work now and then to get it to behave as you'd like
[19:41] <Newbie3> Dumle29, New user, fresh install, boots to terminal. After nomodeset didn't work, and it dropped to the terminal again, I'm out of ideas and everyone else is too.
[19:42] <dumle29> what's the hardware?
[19:42] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23936050/
[19:42] <Talche> ducasse: i have a hosted web at www.promoface.biz it doesn't go out to that addres either...
[19:42] <Newbie3> Dumle29 Nvidia 740M, intel i7, 16GB ram, 1080p 17" display.
[19:42] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  yes,  you have this one 4.8.0-34-generic
[19:42] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: try in grub advanced > 34 kernel
[19:42] <dumle29> Newbie3: i7 doesnt' say much :)
[19:43] <ducasse> Talche: no, and that will be the case for most domains.
[19:43] <Rxbad> Bye
[19:43] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ what does that mean haha
[19:43] <wedgie> Talche: sure, but is a mail server listening there?
[19:43] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-gneric
[19:43] <Newbie3> Dumle29, I have no idea what more you'd want. It's a quad core? Haha.
[19:43] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  or you can select it from grub - Advanced Options
[19:43] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic
[19:43] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: in the grub menu go to advanced
[19:43] <dumle29> Newbie3: Can you run hwinfo --short | pastebinit
[19:43] <Newbie3> Ah... no internet on the try.
[19:44] <Newbie3> Tty*
[19:44] <Talche> wedgie:  it is i recieve mail regularly...
[19:44] <dumle29> Newbie3: oh :/
[19:44] <ChadTaljaardt> i pressed e on the grub screen
[19:44] <Newbie3> Hwinfo is not currently installed.
[19:44] <wedgie> Talche: it's listening on 587
[19:44] <dumle29> Newbie3: Can you install software from tty?
[19:44] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  nope
[19:44] <dumle29> sudo apt install hwinfo
[19:44] <kk4ewt> lspci |pastebinit
[19:44] <dumle29> that'd work too
[19:44] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  Advance Options
[19:44] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: nah, no e, at the bottom there should be advanced
[19:45] <Newbie3> Dumle29, Does not resolve.
[19:45] <royal_screwup21> Hey guys! I have a text file containing several sentences, one below the other. I want to feed each of these sentences, one by one, into an online sentiment analyzer (don't ask why), and fetch their corresponding scores. Can someone point me on the right track as to how I could automate this process?
[19:45] <ducasse> Talche: there isn't really much you can do about this, other than not run the mail server from your home :)
[19:45] <dumle29> Newbie3: I don't know man :/
[19:45] <ChadTaljaardt> oh right i see it now
[19:45] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: one per line?
[19:45] <Newbie3> Dumle29. Let me try what I tried before to get it working. I had Ethernet working for like 5 minutes before.
[19:45] <royal_screwup21> wedgie yup
[19:45] <ChadTaljaardt> starting 34 now
[19:45] <Talche> wedgie: ducasse i can telnet to my ip address on port 25 from 3g on mobile..
[19:46] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, and please try also the Guest Account
[19:46] <ducasse> Talche: that isn't related
[19:46] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: looping through the file is easy enough... how to submit it will depend on the website you're submiting to
[19:46] <mgaunard> what's the difference between packages "adb" and "android-tools-adb"?
[19:47] <helphelp> am i able to get some help through this channel with problem decrypting encrypte drive?
[19:47] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria guest no access
[19:47] <helphelp> anyone who is able to help I have btc handy for a generous tip
[19:47] <Talche> ducasse: ok... but is there any way to test if all the servers on the world are blocking me, or i have something wrong on my machine?
[19:47] <helphelp> as I have spent over a day and I am worried my files might be lost
[19:47] <k1l> mgaunard: its just a link to adb
[19:47] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, you user ?
[19:47] <ChadTaljaardt> nope
[19:47] <Newbie3> I have no idea why that works but it does! I got Ethernet, XD. I have to enable networking in recovery mode and then select the dpkg option and let it fail. Any other way and it doesn't work XD.
[19:47] <wedgie> Talche: most won't straight up block,they just won't accept your mail
[19:47] <royal_screwup21> wedgie: for what it's worth, it's this site: http://sentiment.vivekn.com/
[19:48] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, can you ask how it went when you first installed ubuntu ?
[19:48] <mgaunard> k1l: I do not understand your answer
[19:48] <logosv> Question: How can I disable the disabling of the touchpad while typing in Ubuntu 16.10(Gnome)? The option doesn't appear to be in the usual place, and syndaemon appears to not exist on the system.
[19:48] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, *I
[19:48] <mgaunard> k1l: the packages are mutually exclusive
[19:48] <ducasse> Talche: this is not a problem on your machine
[19:48] <Newbie3> dumle29, okay, picture of that command:
[19:48] <k1l> mgaunard: the android-tools-adb is just a link to the adb package.
[19:48] <ChadTaljaardt> when i tried 16.04 or 16.10?
[19:48] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  16.10
[19:48] <mgaunard> k1l: that's not possible since installing one removes the other
[19:49] <ChadTaljaardt> when i clean install ubuntu 16.10 everything works except the mouse pointer doesnt move from the top left, but if you go to additional drivers then video card then install that one it works
[19:49] <ChadTaljaardt> ive never had this issue before
[19:49] <Talche> ducasse: wedgie or might it be a problem that i have dynamic IP and going through ddns service?
[19:49] <ducasse> Talche: both

[19:50] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
[19:50] <ChadTaljaardt> yeah i think so
[19:50] <Talche> :(
[19:51] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  and you first try with the repo ones ? or not ?
[19:51] <ioria> *tried
[19:51] <Newbie3> dumle29: I've never used Linux before, so I guess no?
[19:51] <ChadTaljaardt> iused the one that the menu gave me
[19:51] <dumle29> Newbie3: I'd try the install again in that case
[19:51] <dumle29> as you have no data to loose
[19:52] <ducasse> Talche: you need a static ip on a 'clean' range, and dns set up to match your reverse dns
[19:52] <Talche> ducasse: yea... but i don't have one... so that is what i gues the problem is... i hve to configure something in postfix that i didn't
[19:53] <ducasse> Talche: no, you can't fix this by configuring postfix.
[19:53] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  dmesg | grep -i nvidia     tells soemthing ?
[19:55] <ducasse> Talche: a mail server on a home connection can only be used for a very limited set of things, like local mail

[19:56] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: the result will be a a json block for each line
[19:56] <royal_screwup21> Wow, thank you wedgie!
[19:56] <k1l> mgaunard: what ubuntu are you on  exactly?
[19:56] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: oh wait, may be a better way. one sec

[19:56] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria
[19:57] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: ah, maybe not. Their batch api requires your requests to be in json format, so probably more work for you
[19:57] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  367 ? still there ?
[19:57] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: also, almost forgot one part: a t the very end you need:    < yourfile.txt
[19:58] <pepp> ciao
[19:58] <wedgie> royal_screwup21: so actually this: while read -r line; do curl --data "txt=$line" http://sentiment.vivekn.com/api/text/; done < file.txt

[19:58] <ChadTaljaardt> i did autoremove and i purged it
[19:58] <ChadTaljaardt> i dont understand
[19:58] <sn0wh1t3> first time here =)
[19:58] <superguest> algorithms
[19:59] <mgaunard> k1l: 16.04 lts
[20:00] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  better reboot with the latest kernel you have and paste again ?
[20:00] <ChadTaljaardt> okay holdon
[20:00] <ChadTaljaardt> if i do a sudo reboot will it auto select the other version?
[20:00] <k1l> mgaunard: and what is removing which package?
[20:01] <mgaunard> k1l: adb and android-tools-adb
[20:01] <mgaunard> same with fastboot and android-tools-fastboot
[20:03] <Talche> join #networking
[20:03] <Talche> join #networking
[20:04] <MonkeyDust> Talche  it's   /j ##networking
[20:04] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  sure
[20:04] <ducasse> Talche: they can't 'fix' this for you, though
[20:05] <MonkeyDust> haven't followed, was away
[20:06] <ducasse> MonkeyDust: running a mail server on a home connection, he's unable to deliver mail.
[20:08] <k1l> mgaunard: well, did you try to use both of them? the android-tools-adb is the older package, its included since 14.04. the adb is included  since 16.04
[20:08] <cfox> привет
[20:08] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[20:09] <mgaunard> k1l: that doesn't answer my question, I asked what's different about them and why there are two of them
[20:09] <MrOpenSource> Hello I am new here
[20:09] <Bashing-om> MrOpenSource: :) Welcome to ubuntu support .
[20:10] <k1l> mgaunard: i dont know. i guess adb is from the ubuntu-touch and is overlapping the older android tools pacakge so they cant be installed both at the same time
[20:11] <MrOpenSource> Thank you Bashing-om
[20:11] <ChadTaljaardt> its rebooting ioria
[20:11] <cfox> dont speak rus?
[20:11] <ChadTaljaardt> sorry for delays im trying to multitask
[20:12] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria i rebooted and this is the output https://cl.ly/3f0T3f3I3C32
[20:13] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   grep -i nvidia /var/log/kern.log | pastebinit
[20:13] <Seveas> cfox: not in here, no. In #ubuntu-ru they do
[20:13] <MrOpenSource> it is possible to change text font and colour from terminal ??
[20:14] <Seveas> MrOpenSource: yes, it is.

[20:15] <lord_daemon> Does anyone know any free ddns?
[20:15] <EriC^^> lord_daemon: what's a ddns?
[20:16] <Seveas> lord_daemon: you mean things like no-ip.com?
[20:16] <Bashing-om> MrOpenSource: A lot depends on what Desk top environment AND the terminal that you are runing ..  GUI appearnace is generally controlled by the theme you have installed .
[20:16] <lord_daemon> I want to access my computer from the street with a name I give it, type no-ip
[20:16] <lord_daemon> Seveas yep
[20:16] <MrOpenSource> I am very new to Ubuntu but I installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit in dualboot
[20:16] <lord_daemon> But no-ip now has limitations
[20:17] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   lspci -k | grep VGA -A2 | grep Kernel
[20:17] <ChadTaljaardt> i used no-ip, i love it :D
[20:17] <ChadTaljaardt> 	Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau
[20:18] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   i still think to secure boot ... :þ
[20:18] <Seveas> lord_daemon: dynu.com perhaps? It's been a while since I had to use dynamic dns hacks...
[20:18] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria i tried looking in the bios again and i still cant see anything about it at all
[20:18] <ChadTaljaardt> i went through each section
[20:19] <Bashing-om> !manual | MrOpenSource Are you aware :
[20:19] <ChadTaljaardt> but it doesnt explain it becuase it has been working for like 2 weeks and then i rebooted and then it stopped working suddenly
[20:20] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   https://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/60819-ga-990fxa-ud3-secure-boot.html  as you see there is
[20:20] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: look at /var/log/apt/history.log for stuff you installed 2 weeks ago
[20:21] <MrOpenSource> Bashing-on thank you very much, i take a look
[20:21] <ChadTaljaardt> ive installed tons of stuff and removed tons of stuff too
[20:21] <ChadTaljaardt> haha
[20:21] <hahahha> hey guys, i started using linux a few weeks ago and im loving it so far, only thing is, i see all these programs that can be installed by get-apt. whats get apt and how do people learn to install anything by that command?
[20:21] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: look at around the time the problem started
[20:21] <ChadTaljaardt> thats difficult becuase the computer has been on a few days :/
[20:21] <ChadTaljaardt> i think its probably easier to just try reinstall lol
[20:22] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: nah, look at the date
[20:22] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria i must disable CSM?
[20:22] <ChadTaljaardt> ill look
[20:22] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: try "ls -l ~/.Xauthority" for a sec
[20:22] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: it isn't secureboot related
[20:22] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   you installed in legacy mode (csm)
[20:23] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: what date does ls give?
[20:23] <ChadTaljaardt> -rw------- 1 chad chad 62 Feb  5 19:47 /home/chad/.Xauthority
[20:24] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   try to remove it
[20:24] <ducasse> !software | hahahha read this :)
[20:24] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria rm -rf ~/.Xauthority ?
[20:24] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: wondering how you could get the date of the last time it successfully logged in
[20:25] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   mv .Xauthority Xauthority.back
[20:25] <ChadTaljaardt> that wont help either i dont think becuase i use the machine over ssh
[20:25] <ChadTaljaardt> i just turn it on and thats it
[20:26] <EriC^^> what?
[20:26] <EriC^^> oh nevermind
[20:26] <ChadTaljaardt> ive moved that file now
[20:26] <EriC^^> it wont help
[20:27] <EriC^^> the Xorg log says it can't open any /dev/drm file
[20:27] <ChadTaljaardt> could it have somethign to do with visudo
[20:27] <EriC^^> no
[20:27] <ChadTaljaardt> hm
[20:27] <ChadTaljaardt> becuase i edited that file but i put it back how it was also
[20:28] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  we can install anothe DE, if you want
[20:28] <ChadTaljaardt> DE?
[20:28] <EriC^^> won't help either
[20:28] <EriC^^> it's a problem with the kernel not giving that file
[20:28] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  another desktop so you can work in a gui
[20:29] <ChadTaljaardt> i dont need to work in a gui actually haha, the issue is becuase i try running my python script and get this error, but this is realted. https://cl.ly/0Q0e0E2V1t0C
[20:31] <Quatroking> Hi
[20:31] <Quatroking> where do I go for questions about the ubuntu wiki? I'd like a page removed

[20:33] <EriC^^> ChadTaljaardt: anything in "dmesg"
[20:33] <EriC^^> ?
[20:33] <ChadTaljaardt> tons lol
[20:33] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  have you used the .cuda installer ?
[20:33] <ChadTaljaardt> yes ioria but i said no to the nvidia driver on that
[20:34] <ChadTaljaardt> EriC^^ https://cl.ly/25031J0L0g1Z
[20:35] <SaintMoriarty> For some reason my curl to https is not working through crontab, is there any parameters that I need to use?
[20:35] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: nope, is it usually working from the terminal?
[20:35] <SaintMoriarty> yes
[20:35] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: what command are you using?
[20:36] <SaintMoriarty> /usr/bin/curl "https://myurl"
[20:36] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: that's all?
[20:36] <SaintMoriarty> yes
[20:36] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: what's line line in crontab?
[20:36] <EriC^^> *the line
[20:37] <SaintMoriarty> * * * * * /usr/bin/curl "https://myurl" >/dev/null 2>&1
[20:37] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: ok, so how do you know it's not working?
[20:37] <pfifo> Hello everyone
[20:37] <EriC^^> hey
[20:37] <SaintMoriarty> because  it calls a url that executes a task
[20:38] <SaintMoriarty> when I do the curl from terminal it works
[20:38] <EriC^^> SaintMoriarty: ok, try with curl "......" > /tmp/curllog 2>&1
[20:38] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list
[20:39] <ChadTaljaardt> ls: cannot access '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list': No such file or directory
[20:40] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  dpkg -l | grep *cuda*
[20:40] <ChadTaljaardt> its blank
[20:40] <pfifo> I just upgraded from a nvidia card to an Radeon RX480, everything is going great but I am at a total loss for how to set the display resoultion, it is defaulting to 1920x1080 but the display is actually a television and its native resolution is 1366x768 which is a super rare resolution. Im using Lubuntu 16.04 and have fussed around a bit with xrandr but cant not seem to get it to generate an approprate
[20:40] <pfifo> modeline, it keeps insiting on a 1368 vertical resolution and when I try with that modeline my display refuses to use it.
[20:41] <tchnq> Can anyone help me make hotcorners work automatically after restart?
[20:41] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   ok, so for now, the last think i could think of, is to purge nvidia* again and try to login with nouveau. But you could end up with a blank screen
[20:43] <tchnq> Is dconf-editor a good idea to try on ubuntu 16.04 as a fix for hotcornerns
[20:43] <tchnq> ?
[20:43] <BluesKaj> odd that no nvidia drivers work , there must be something else mucking things up
[20:44] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   4.8.0.37 + nouveau should work with your card
[20:45] <ChadTaljaardt> how do i do the nouveau thing
[20:45] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   sudo apt purge nvidia+ and reboot
[20:45] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   sudo apt purge nvidia* and reboot
[20:45] <ChadTaljaardt> ill try
[20:45] <ChadTaljaardt> do i do autoremove?
[20:46] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   ok
[20:48] <ducasse> pfifo: can't be that rare, 1366x768 is what my laptop uses. works out of the box with the radeon driver.
[20:50] <buck_> .
[20:50] <Bashing-om> pfifo: A thought, did you purge the old nVidia driver prior to insalling the AMD card ? Maybe we have a failure to communicate at the hardware level ?
[20:52] <pfifo> Bashing-om: i have multi monitor amdgpu-pro is working spot on, and everything nvidia/cuda related is gone
[20:52] <pfifo> ducasse: im using amdgpu-pro, im a gamer and need hw
[20:53] <pfifo> i suppose the question really is, how do i create a modeline appropriate to my monitor?
[20:53] <ChadTaljaardt> its rebooting now :)
[20:53] <Ben64> pfifo: what display is it, and how is it connected
[20:53] <ChadTaljaardt> now what? ioria
[20:54] <tchnq> does anyone knows a fix for hotcorners on ubuntu 16.04?!
[20:54] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   rebooted and no login ?
[20:54] <ChadTaljaardt> ill test now
[20:54] <ChadTaljaardt> :)
[20:54] <pfifo> Ben64: Emmerson LC320EM connected via HDMI
[20:55] <ChadTaljaardt> i dont know how to do the noveau thing
[20:55] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, nouveau is the default driver, if you purged nvidia you only have that
[20:55] <Ben64> pfifo: what's the output of 'xrandr'
[20:56] <ChadTaljaardt> so i can then just reboot and thats it :D
[20:56] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, yep
[20:56] <ChadTaljaardt> i just see a black screen
[20:56] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  right...
[20:57] <pfifo> Ben64: http://dpaste.com/2PEC1VV
[20:57] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  wait a bit, open a console with ctrl+alt+f1
[20:57] <ChadTaljaardt> wait
[20:57] <ChadTaljaardt> there its back
[20:57] <ChadTaljaardt> the screen just came back, ill try login now
[20:57] <Ben64> pfifo: try using the 1360x768 or the 1280x720
[20:58] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, ok
[20:58] <pfifo> Ben64: neither work
[20:59] <ChadTaljaardt> okay login works
[20:59] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, hurra
[20:59] <Ben64> try using a different hdmi port on your tv
[20:59] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, cat ~/.xsession-errors
[21:00] <ChadTaljaardt> https://cl.ly/2s3n072k2h0E
[21:00] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  that's a terrible paste-site
[21:00] <ChadTaljaardt> i just got a error too "System program problem detected"
[21:00] <ChadTaljaardt> its a screenshot site haha
[21:00] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, cat ~/.xsession-errors | pastebinit
[21:01] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23936647/
[21:01] <pfifo> Ben64: I swapped hdmi ports but I am unsure of how to proceed
[21:01] <Ben64> see if it works now
[21:02] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, can you try the Guest Account ?
[21:02] <ChadTaljaardt> sure
[21:02] <pfifo> Ben64: the only resolution i could get workingn was 1920x1080
[21:02] <Ben64> pfifo: does it actually display
[21:02] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt, and again  cat ~/.xsession-errors | pastebinit
[21:03] <pfifo> Ben64: and it is badly clipped, the majority of the screen is located outside of the LCD
[21:03] <pfifo> Ben64: 1920x1080 works, it is just blurred and clipped
[21:04] <Ben64> sounds like your tv just sucks
[21:04] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23936674
[21:04] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  no good
[21:05] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  dpkg -l click
[21:05] <pfifo> Ben64: it does, however it worked fine with ndivia... I think i have located the issue here, http://dpaste.com/0JVDR0F as you can see the modeline its generating is forcing me to a 1368 resolution and that is incorrect it is supposed to be 1366 and I typed in 1366
[21:06] <ChadTaljaardt> on the guest accout?
[21:06] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  yes, ...
[21:06] <joakimk> Ubuntu 14.04: I installed some "important security update for my hardware" (or something), and ubuntu asked for a reboot. But now, after this, I am unable to log in: The screen only flickers, and the log in window reappears
[21:06] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23936698
[21:06] <joakimk> (also , the monitor resolution is way off)
[21:07] <joakimk> how can I fix this?
[21:07] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   did you install it ?
[21:07] <k1l> joakimk: does the guest account work?
[21:07] <joakimk> k1l: no, same problem
[21:08] <k1l> joakimk: so a driver issue? what ubuntu? what video card? how did you isntall that driver? does an older kernel in grub work?
[21:08] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   try to remove it   sudo apt purge click
[21:08] <ChadTaljaardt> from guest still?
[21:08] <joakimk> k1l: Well :) Can I somehow boot in in "text only mode", so I can get the answers to what you're asking?
[21:09] <joakimk> there's some key-combination to switch away from GUI, right?
[21:09] <k1l> joakimk: ctrl+alt+f1 to tty, crtl+alt+f7 to switch back to X
[21:09] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   no, you need to login you user
[21:10] <k1l> joakimk: but i would first try the older kernel in grub extended menue
[21:10] <joakimk> k1l: ok, thanks! Now I'm logged in
[21:10] <joakimk> ah... in the login screen?
[21:10] <joakimk> oh, in grub!
[21:10] <k1l> joakimk: no, grub is the boot menue right after the bios.
[21:11] <joakimk> rebooting. The GRUB loader has the following options: "Ubuntu". "Advanced options for Ubuntu"
[21:11] <grimel> Hi, all. I have a problem configuring my old G3010 scanner for Ubuntu - can anybody help me out with this?
[21:11] <joakimk> or Memory tests
[21:11] <joakimk>  +windows :)
[21:11] <k1l> joakimk: advanced options. then the second latest kernel
[21:12] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   purge also libatk-adaptor libgail-common
[21:12] <ChadTaljaardt> okay done
[21:12] <ChadTaljaardt> ok
[21:12] <joakimk> right! So, the top one is 4.4.0-62-generic. The second one, is 4.2.0-42-generic
[21:12] <joakimk> that one?
[21:12] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   no, wait
[21:12] <k1l> joakimk: yes
[21:12] <joakimk> that worked. So what does that mean?
[21:12] <joakimk> is the "62" one the new one I just installed?
[21:13] <k1l> joakimk: so something with the latest kernel doesnt work with your video drivers. now we need the specifics i asked before
[21:13] <ChadTaljaardt> uhm
[21:13] <ducasse> grimel: have you installed hplip?
[21:13] <ChadTaljaardt> ive already did it
[21:13] <joakimk> gotcha! So how do I get those parameters? Thanks again for helping me!
[21:13] <grimel> ducasse: hplip is for printers only, isn't it?
[21:13] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   apt get install libgail-common libatk-adaptor
[21:14] <ducasse> grimel: nope
[21:14] <grimel> ducasse: anyway it's already installed
[21:14] <ChadTaljaardt> done
[21:14] <k1l> joakimk: "lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the url ehre
[21:14] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   logout/login and
[21:15] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,  cat ~/.xsession-errors | pastebinit
[21:15] <ChadTaljaardt> hold on :)
[21:15] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/vg1n
[21:15] <joakimk> k1l: neat way to dump to a pastebin :)
[21:17] <ChadTaljaardt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23936786/
[21:17] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria
[21:17] <ducasse> grimel: according to sane-project.org, this should work: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hp3900-series/
[21:17] <akik> joakimk: another way which you can use for multiple commands is "pastebinit <( command1; command2 )"
[21:17] <k1l> joakimk: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:18] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   so now you can login with opensource driver, but you still have a tons of errors
[21:18] <grimel> ducasse: tried it - "Error : Some error caused GIT command execution. Are you sure you've installed GIT client?"
[21:18] <ChadTaljaardt> why would these errors have started do you know?
[21:18] <grimel> ducasse: git is installed
[21:18] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/c6h7
[21:19] <ducasse> grimel: ok, then you need to ask the sane guys or the devs of that driver (more likely)
[21:19] <joakimk> akik: nice :)
[21:19] <k1l> joakimk: and now again from the failed boot "cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:19] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   on unity, usually when you do something you should not have done :þ
[21:20] <joakimk> k1l: there's no such Xorg.1.log file. I only have Xorg.0.log and Xorg.0.log.old
[21:20] <grimel> ducasse: that's funny, just tried again and it worked...wtf))
[21:20] <k1l> joakimk: ok, then the old one
[21:20] <ChadTaljaardt> ioria lol so you mean install Ubuntu?
[21:20] <ChadTaljaardt> just kidding
[21:20] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/694z
[21:20] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   funny
[21:20] <ChadTaljaardt> well thanks for your help, ill see how everything goes
[21:21] <joakimk> k1l: what are you looking for :)
[21:21] <ioria> ChadTaljaardt,   ok
[21:21] <k1l> joakimk: look at the last paste, the nvidia driver is failing there
[21:22] <k1l> joakimk: look for EE
[21:22] <joakimk> I see it!
[21:22] <alpha_> best advice for someone
[21:22] <alpha_> who just got started with elementary os
[21:22] <alpha_> ?
[21:22] <k1l> joakimk: ok, now please "dpkg -l |grep nvidia |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:22] <xangua> alpha_: switch to Ubuntu?
[21:22] <alpha_> ahahahh
[21:23] <alpha_> but elementary os is ubuntu/debian based
[21:23] <k1l> alpha_: since you ask in here, install ubuntu :)
[21:23] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/a45r
[21:23] <xangua> ! Elementary | alpha_
[21:23] <kk4ewt> alpha go to the elemtryos channel for support
[21:23] <alpha_> ok
[21:23] <alpha_> cool
[21:23] <alpha_> thank you
[21:24] <k1l> joakimk: ok, now please "cat /var/log/apt/term.log |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:24] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/v61m
[21:27] <bivo> is there a system wide equalizer? I'd like to be able to watch blacksmithing and machining videos without the piercing high pitched ring of the anvil of the scream of the power tools either making my ears bleed with headphones or disturbing everyone else if played on speaker
[21:29] <k1l> joakimk: ok, now please "dpkg -l |grep wily |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:29] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/yds3
[21:30] <ducasse> bivo: maybe libasound2-plugin-equal does what you want, read the description
[21:30] <rizonz> does ubuntu always needs a /etc/default/program for an initscript ?
[21:30] <xangua> Pulse audio equalizer bivo webupd8http://www.webupd8.org/2013/10/system-wide-pulseaudio-equalizer.html
[21:31] <xrandr_laptop> Is there a way to upgrade to 16.10 via command line?
[21:31] <k1l> joakimk: ok, i guess your system is somehow confused since you had the wily backports kernel and xorg installed (which is outdated) and its still somehow partly installed
[21:31] <EriC^^> xrandr_laptop: sudo do-release-upgrade
[21:31] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: sudo do-release-upgrade after you set the release prompt to "normal" instead of LTS only
[21:32] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, how does one set the release prompt to normal?
[21:32] <dax> ubottu: upgradeofflts
[21:32] <k1l> joakimk: ok, now please "dpkg-query -l *-lts-* | grep '^ii' |nc termbin.com 9999"
[21:34] <joakimk> k1l: this is way over my head :) Here's the paste: http://termbin.com/huxa
[21:34] <xrandr_laptop> ok, it's upgrading thanks!
[21:34] <k1l> joakimk: ok, there is still some lts-wily stuff isntalled
[21:35] <k1l> joakimk: sudo apt-get -s install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial
[21:35] <k1l> the -s will simulate only, does this want to remove pacakges?
[21:36] <joakimk> ok
[21:36] <joakimk> :)
[21:36] <\9> don't need sudo if you use -s
[21:36] <DukeNukem_> is the Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 Dual-X Edition 2Gb drivers going to work on the 17?
[21:37] <bivo> ducasse already installed it, but I don't see any kind of GUI for controlling the audio
[21:37] <joakimk> k1l: http://termbin.com/3ofo
[21:38] <DukeNukem_> hello
[21:38] <joakimk> k1l: seems it doesn't recommend installing/removing anything?
[21:38] <bivo> xangua Looks like the kind of thing I'm after, I'll give it a try
[21:38] <k1l> joakimk: yes, i wonder why the 4.2 kernel works but the 4.4 kernel doesnt.
[21:39] <k1l> joakimk: sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-367
[21:39] <gravity> hello
[21:39] <joakimk> apt or apt-get?
[21:39] <k1l> apt is the new apt-get :)
[21:39] <joakimk> much better :)
[21:40] <xrandr_laptop> it says the upgrade can take several hours?!
[21:40] <xrandr_laptop> is that.....normal?
[21:40] <ducasse> bivo: the package desc says to use alsamixergui or alsamixer
[21:41] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: depends on your download speed, yes.
[21:41] <\9> and your cpu speed too, when it comes to the actual installing
[21:42] <zacwalls> Hello, I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 alongside Windows 10 on a SSD I just bought and I am noticing some very slow boot times. I started off trying to fix this problem by going into startup applications and disabling everything I don't need (such as the screen reader) but I am not noticing any changes in results. I looked at log files and everything looks normal from what I can tell. Any advice?
[21:43] <wedgie> how long is "very slow"?
[21:43] <joakimk> k1l: ok, it's done. Reboot?
[21:44] <k1l> joakimk: yeah
[21:44] <zacwalls> wedgie: like a 1:30.... That's really slow compared to windows 10...
[21:44] <ducasse> zacwalls: pastebin 'systemd-analyze blame' and give us the link
[21:45] <joakimk> k1l: still same thing :(
[21:45] <joakimk> does anything indicate something wrong with the previous kernel, btw?
[21:45] <joakimk> maybe I should just "stick with that"
[21:46] <joakimk> or is this easily fixable, do you think?
[21:46] <zacwalls> ducasse: woah wth??? Thats super useful, and I see the problem now.... http://pastebin.com/3SRQxhzW
[21:46] <zacwalls> 13min 59.800s apt-daily.service :/
[21:46] <zacwalls> that can't be accurate
[21:47] <k1l> the 4.2 kernel is dead and doesnt receive any security updates anymore
[21:47] <ducasse> zacwalls: ok, try 'journalctl -u apt-daily.service'
[21:48] <zacwalls> ducasse: there is nothing abnormal there. Feb 05 13:20:01 zacbox systemd[1]: Started Daily apt activities
[21:48] <k1l> joakimk: hmm, maybe try to apt purge nividia* . after that is done without error, install nvidia-346
[21:49] <joakimk> k1l: and it doesn't matter that I do this while "logged into the previous kernel" (guess that maybe makes no sense?)
[21:49] <zacwalls> why does "starting/started daily apt activities" take so long?
[21:49] <k1l> joakimk: yes, that doesnt matter
[21:49] <joakimk> ok thanks!
[21:50] <ducasse> zacwalls: does 'apt install -f' say/do anything?
[21:52] <joakimk> k1l: uh.. Now, I can't log into the "42-kernel" anymore either...
[21:52] <joakimk> :-o
[21:53] <zacwalls> ducasse: Yes it reads the package lists, builds a dependency tree, reads state information and then prints 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 220 not upgraded. So no, not really...
[21:53] <k1l> joakimk: does tty1 work?
[21:53] <zacwalls> 220 not upgraded...
[21:53] <ducasse> zacwalls: aha. try 'apt full-upgrade'
[21:54] <zacwalls> ducasse: will that fix it? If so, why?
[21:54] <joakimk> k1l: ctrl-alt-F1 gives me just, "login: * Starting CUPS printing spooler/server             [ OK ] "
[21:54] <joakimk> there's no login prompt, not even there
[21:54] <ducasse> zacwalls: you must have been using 'apt upgrade' instead, which won't install all updates. i'm guessing the missing ones causes apt.daily service to take so long starting up.
[21:54] <joakimk> ah hit enter
[21:54] <k1l> joakimk: press enter once
[21:55] <joakimk> yes
[21:55] <joakimk> ok, logged in
[21:55] <joakimk> I think ;)
[21:55] <joakimk> yeah
[21:55] <k1l> joakimk: then "sudo apt purge nvidia*"
[21:56] <joakimk> k1l: it just gives me, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[21:56] <joakimk> :-/
[21:56] <k1l> so the nvidia install didnt work before?
[21:57] <k1l> joakimk: try a" sudo apt install nvidia-346"
[21:58] <joakimk> k1l: Runs into an error and fails: "Could not resolve 'no.archive.ubuntu.com'" and same for 'security.ubuntu.com' --- unable to fetch some archives
[21:58] <rizonz> is someone able to check with me why cpan cannot insll modules like IO::Socket::SSL ?
[21:58] <joakimk> maybe run apt-get update, or try with --fix-missing?
[21:59] <k1l> joakimk: can you "ping google.com"  cancel with ctrl+c
[21:59] <zamba> all login and sudo operations are taking forever to complete
[21:59] <joakimk> unknown host (!)
[21:59] <k1l> joakimk: ok, so no internet
[21:59] <zamba> it seems like there's some kind of timeout happening
[21:59] <joakimk> so it's offline?
[22:00] <k1l> joakimk: what brings you: lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
[22:00] <k1l> nvidia or nouveau?
[22:00] <k1l> you can look at lspci -nnk
[22:01] <joakimk> k1l: doesn't seem to give any output...?
[22:01] <joakimk> running just "lspci -nnk" does give something though
[22:01] <k1l> it should name the driver in use
[22:02] <zacwalls> Sorry my connection timed out
[22:02] <joakimk> k1l: well, NVIDIA is found, but "nouveau" was not found (in the output)
[22:04] <k1l> joakimk: i dont understand why its not purging the nvidia driver when its using the nvidia. i dont know in what state your system is there
[22:05] <matt___>  
[22:05] <k1l> because if the nvidia is purged it should  run with nouveau. and that should be shown by lspci -nnk
[22:05] <joakimk> k1l: of course, this is difficult to diagnose/repair via IRC :) Thanks for your patience! But, do you think this is fixable, or will I have to reinstall Ubuntu ... :(
[22:06] <k1l> joakimk: i dont really understand the issue right now. that doesnt make sense when it works with the latest driver on kernel 4.2 but not on 4.4 and not at all with the second latest driver from nvidia
[22:07] <joakimk> k1l: but now it doesn't work on 4.2
[22:08] <joakimk> k1l: can't log in to any of the kernels listed under the Advanced menu, in GRUB
[22:08]  * xrandr_laptop sighs in contentment
[22:09] <k1l> joakimk: make sure "sudo apt purge nvidia*" removed all nvidia stuff
[22:09] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, will nvidia drivers work with ubuntu? the ones you download from nvidia.com?
[22:10] <k1l> joakimk: after that try the nomodeset setting (see bot link for one time in grub describtion) when its booting with noveau with the 4.4. kernel
[22:10] <k1l> !nomodeset | joakimk
[22:10] <Guestie> Do I need a multi-world plugin with GriefPrevention, worldedit, and Nucleus? I am running Sponge 1.10.2, modded server.
[22:10] <Guestie> WRONG CHAT! So sorry!
[22:10] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: better use the one from the ubuntu repos. not from their website
[22:10] <xrandr_laptop> ok
[22:11] <xrandr_laptop> i may switch my desktop from fedora to ubuntu
[22:11] <xrandr_laptop> I never thought I'd say this, but I like the unity desktop now
[22:11] <xrandr_laptop> I used to hate the bar at the side. But now that you can auto-hide it, i kinda like it
[22:11] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: you can put it to the bottom now, too
[22:12] <xrandr_laptop> you can?
[22:12] <joakimk> k1l: well, I booted back into the "62" kernel, in TTY, and did the purge command again: "Package 'nvidia' is not installed, so not removed"
[22:12] <joakimk> does that look promising?
[22:12] <xrandr_laptop> is that in 16.04 or 16.10 ?
[22:12] <k1l> joakimk: the * at the end is important
[22:12] <joakimk> hold on
[22:12] <joakimk> aha!
[22:12] <k1l> sudo apt purge nvidia*
[22:12] <joakimk> After this operation, 341 MB disk space will be freed
[22:12] <joakimk> so Y then?
[22:12] <k1l> yes
[22:13] <xangua> xrandr_laptop: I think both
[22:13] <joakimk> must have missed that before. Have to read from this PC, and type onto the Ubuntu prompt :)
[22:13] <joakimk> ok, so it ran
[22:13] <joakimk> reboot? do I have to try the "nomodeset" parameter?
[22:14] <joakimk> I could maybe be so lucky that it now works.....??
[22:14] <matt___>  /quit
[22:14] <k1l> joakimk: first try the 4.4 kernel now. if that doesnt work do the nomodeset parameter on that
[22:14] <joakimk> ok, so rebooting back into "default GRUB choice"
[22:14] <joakimk> right?
[22:15] <k1l> yes
[22:15] <joakimk> k1l: Excellent :D You saved my day!
[22:15] <joakimk> thanks a bunch
[22:16] <Guestie> Any good multi-world type of plugins for Sponge 1.10.2?
[22:16] <ducasse> Guestie: still wrong channel...
[22:17] <Guestie> ducasse, oh my God. :\
[22:17] <Guestie> I'm stupid.
[22:17] <ducasse> Guestie: we all have those days :)
[22:17] <hahahha> guys what program should i use on ubuntu that works like microsoft outlook?
[22:18] <k1l> hahahha: thunderbird
[22:18] <hahahha> k1l thunderbird is very bad! i tried it and it downloaded every single mail in my inbox! i have a lot of folders in my gmail account
[22:19] <ducasse> isn't evolution outlook'ish? never used outlook myself, so no clue...
[22:19] <k1l> hahahha: that is just a config thing then.
[22:19] <hahahha> k1l any idea how to do this?
[22:21] <k1l> hahahha: you can set it in the settings for that account what to sync etc. just open the settings and make it matching your usecase
[22:21] <gravity> hi
[22:21] <gravity> can anybody help me?
[22:22] <alpha_> yes
[22:22] <alpha_> if i have the knowledge to do so
[22:22] <xrandr_laptop> gravity, please state the nature of the linux emergency
[22:22] <xrandr_laptop> oh, he left
[22:27] <joakimk> k1l: uh, so sorry to bug you again, but after ~10 minutes the computer froze. Can move mouse, but nothing else
[22:28] <k1l> joakimk: hmm
[22:28] <joakimk> k1l: did a "hard reboot", will try again. But
[22:30] <joakimk> k1l: working again now... Maybe just a hiccup?
[22:30] <hertz> Hello
[22:30] <xrandr_laptop> hello hertz
[22:31] <glache> hi
[22:31] <xrandr_laptop> hi glache
[22:32] <dumle29> So I'm about to put a days worth of work into setting up several CSGO servers, with ebot. Is there any free way I can make that in an easily deployable manner, that isn't hardware specific?
[22:33] <dumle29> Like, I set it up on my VPS, or alternatively home server, and then when I need it for a LAN, I'll deploy it onto a dedicated server
[22:33] <hahahha> what's the use of ''home server''?
[22:33] <hahahha> isn't every pc a server?
[22:33] <dumle29> can be
[22:33] <dumle29> but I have a 2U
[22:40] <joakimk> k1l: I'm hoping it was a one-off problem. Is there any way I now might check that nividia is indeed un-installed?
[22:40] <joakimk> (and this nouveau is installed)
[22:41] <ksan02> hello
[22:41] <glache> hi
[22:42] <joakimk> k1l: should not have thought that -- there it just happened again :( Full monitor freeze
[22:43] <joakimk> so, a full re-install of the linux partition is perhaps the best solution?
[22:43] <Ntemis> can anyone help me kill caja?
[22:43] <Ntemis> i get caja failing on me every day after updating to 1.16
[22:43] <Ntemis>  killall caja does nothing
[22:44] <Ntemis> heeelp
[22:45] <Ntemis> heeelp?
[22:45] <Ntemis> i killed caja and now i see no desktop icons
[22:46] <Ben64> run caja
[22:46] <Ntemis> run not found
[22:46] <Ben64> ...
[22:46] <Ntemis> No command 'run' found, did you mean:
[22:46] <Ben64> caja
[22:46] <Ziyad> Wuz good boys
[22:47] <Ziyad> Who's watching Super Bowl
[22:47] <Ntemis> caja does nothing
[22:47] <Ben64> !ot | Ziyad
[22:47] <ducasse> Ntemis: which ubuntu version?
[22:47] <Ntemis> 16.04.1
[22:47] <Ntemis> ah wait
[22:47] <joakimk> k1l: thanks again, got to go. I'll get back to the freeze problems later. Thanks for helping me out!
[22:48] <\9> caja is the desktop and file manager so if you kill that of course your desktop icons go
[22:48] <dylan_> Hello
[22:48] <ducasse> Ntemis: ok, so you installed caja from somewhere else and now it fails?
[22:48] <\9> ducasse: caja is the ubuntu mate desktop and file manager
[22:48] <Ntemis> https://paste.ubuntu.com/23937425/
[22:48] <Ntemis> somewhere!?!
[22:49] <ducasse> \9: i know, but xenial does not ship 1.16
[22:49] <ducasse> !info caja xenial
[22:49] <\9> oh.
[22:49] <\9> i thought the 1.16 was a typo of 16.04
[22:49] <Ntemis> bash: !info: event not found
[22:50] <\9> the !info was to trigger the reply from ubottu
[22:50] <Ntemis> i installed mate 1.16 from official page
[22:50] <\9> well.. why did you do that?
[22:50] <Ntemis> because is official?
[22:50] <ducasse> Ntemis: which page?
[22:50] <wedgie> Ntemis: pasting commands you don't understand from an irc channel (or anwywhere, for that matter) into your shell is a bad habit.
[22:50] <\9> Ntemis: official mate maybe. but not official for ubuntu
[22:51] <Ntemis> yes official mate
[22:51] <\9> ...
[22:51] <Ntemis> https://ubuntu-mate.org/blog/mate-desktop-116-for-xenial-xerus/
[22:51] <Ntemis> i need to revert then
[22:52] <\9> that's a PPA
[22:52] <\9> that is not official yet
[22:52] <Ntemis> whaat?
[22:52] <Ntemis> is on the official page of mate ubuntu
[22:52] <Ntemis> and you say is not official?
[22:52] <pavlos> Ntemis, I started caja, it popped the File Manager, in a term I typed killall caja and was gone. Running UM 16.04, caja 1.12
[22:53] <ducasse> Ntemis: "The version of MATE Desktop 1.16 in this PPA..." so ppa, not official.
[22:53] <Ntemis> pavlos: edi file mou then pethainei me tipota
[22:53] <Ntemis> *edo
[22:54] <pavlos> Ntemis, maybe caja 1.16 has some issues
[22:54] <Ntemis> yeap
[22:54] <Ntemis> i will revert to official mate version asap
[22:55] <Ntemis> ppa-purge  ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/xenial-mate is enough for this?
[22:56] <Ntemis> ok here goes nothing
[22:56] <Ntemis> downgrading
[22:57] <Ntemis> ha i got my desktop back
[22:57] <Ntemis> buggy as hell
[22:57] <k1l> joakimk, sorry was busy
[22:58]  * xrandr_laptop wonders how many more packages he has left before the upgrade is done. too bad the command line doesn't give a progress report
[22:59] <pavlos> Ntemis, you can read about caja issues ... https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/380
[22:59] <bivo> how can I map a sequence of button presses to either constantly repeat or be tied to a single button press?
[23:00] <Ntemis> pavlos: i dont use audio files
[23:00] <Ntemis> i was trying to unmount a sshfs mount
[23:01] <Ntemis> and caja freaked
[23:01] <pavlos> Ntemis, some of the comments mention that caja becomes unresponsive, difficult to kill ... reboot
[23:01] <Ntemis> yes this is my issue
[23:01] <Ntemis> but i have reverted to 1.14
[23:03] <Ntemis> PPA purged successfully
[23:03] <Ntemis> yeah!
[23:06] <Ntemis> just added my opinion
[23:06] <Ntemis> thanks pavlos for the thread
[23:16] <xrandr_laptop> i think it's close to being done
[23:16] <xrandr_laptop> it's generating boot images
[23:26] <hahahha> what's the best linux in your opinion? ive tried mint and ubuntu so far, what should i try next?
[23:27] <Ben64> it's all just preference, but this isn't the channel to discuss other distros, maybe try ##linux
[23:27] <k1l> hahahha: obviously #ubuntu :) but you might want to ask in ##linux
[23:28] <hahahha> haha what's so special about ubuntu?
[23:34] <xrandr_laptop> ubuntu means unity which is something this world could use!
[23:36] <xrandr_laptop> ah, i liek the launcher bar at the bottom :P
[23:37] <xrandr_laptop> brb gotta reboot
[23:44] <xrandr_laptop> ok i wish i didn't do the upgrade
[23:44] <xrandr_laptop> the unity desktop is all messed up. After I log in I just get a black background, no launcher, no wall papaer. and the windows are lacking controls
[23:44] <xrandr_laptop> how can I fix this?
[23:45] <Herbalist> anyone happens to know how i can get an actual GtkCellrenderer mouseclick event, instead of the currently available "activate" event ?s ?
[23:46] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, any ideas?
[23:46] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: does guest account work?
[23:46] <xrandr_laptop> let me check. I'd need to log out and try it
[23:46] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, if it does, what do i do?
[23:47] <\9> Herbalist: you won't have much luck getting gtk programming help here, try some gtk channel or forums
[23:47] <Herbalist> i did.. but noone is talking there
[23:47] <k1l> if it works there, then login as user again and rename the .config folder to .config.backup and relogin
[23:47] <xrandr_laptop> ok
[23:47] <xrandr_laptop> brb
[23:52] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, no dice
[23:52] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: so the guest account is messed up too?'
[23:52] <xrandr_laptop> guest doesn't work, renaming .config to .config.backup doesn't work
[23:52] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, yes
[23:52] <k1l> what ubuntu? what video card?
[23:53] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, i just upgraded from 16.04 lts to ubuntu 16.10
[23:54] <xrandr_laptop> i had also installed compiz
[23:54] <xrandr_laptop> should i uninstall compiz?
[23:54] <k1l> you should not have to install or remove compiz ata ll
[23:54] <k1l> waht video card? what driver?
[23:54] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, not sure. it's an older laptop
[23:55] <xrandr_laptop> AND Vision e1 i think
[23:55] <k1l> lspci will list the card
[23:55] <afru_> so. how about we target trump's twitter with a ddos
[23:55] <xrandr_laptop> k1l, VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Wrestler [Radeon HD 7310]
[23:55] <k1l> hmm, i am not familiar with amd, but if 16.04 worked i dont see why 16.10 should not work
[23:55] <afru_> we're all smart lads and can pull that off
[23:56] <k1l> afru_: we focus on only ubuntu support in here.
[23:56] <afru_> i jest.
[23:56] <skywalker> hi
[23:56] <calf> hi
[23:56] <xrandr_laptop> is there a driver i can install for radeon video cards?
[23:57] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: since the amd video driver is amd_gpu now and is already put into the kernel it should not need to do anything.
[23:57] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: you could try if "nomodeset" helps you.
[23:57] <k1l> !nomodeset  | xrandr_laptop
[23:58] <k1l> xrandr_laptop: but i am not a amd specialists. maybe others in here do know more about
[23:59] <Housekeeping> is btrfs something similar to windows storage spaces
[23:59] <k1l> btrfs is a new filesystem. like ntfs just with other features
