[00:00] <rizonz> does anyone know why cpan PDF::Burst errors ?
[00:00] <Bashing-om> Guest26876: Best guess here as you have a EFI board is " UEFI USB ' with fast boot disabled .
[00:01] <Guest26876> Well i cant disable fast boot anywhere in the click bios 2 no  option exist there
[00:03] <Guest26876> Someone asked me where i downloaded from now i got the adress infront of me (In the installation process) se.archive.ubuntu.com it says
[00:05] <Guest26876> Just great.. now when picked UEFI the installation froze erlyer, im at the Archive mirror thing now and it stands still on 0%
[00:06] <CoolDood5> http://www.legittorrents.info/
[00:07] <Guest26876> So UEFI freezes at archive mirror and none UEFI freezes at hardware detectiondoes that even tell you anything ?
[00:07] <k1l_> Guest26876: how long did you wait on searching for archive mirrors?
[00:08] <Wixy> Hello all! How do I check the if the network buffers are full or what? I'm copying a file over the lan network at 1MB/s :|
[00:08] <Guest26876> i waited about over 3 minutes, thou with none UEFI the miror thingy took only under 30 secounds to do
[00:11] <Guest26876> im at the boot selection now again and i see a "UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell" is that something i can use maby ?
[00:13] <Guest26876> Il go in the Setup again and double check if theres some fast boot thingy meanwhile...
[00:13] <taora> hello again, what could be the most effective way to check the security of external downloads/installs?
[00:13] <ErroneousAlex> hey i deleted a gnupgp key and made a new one. but when I try and download the code of conduct it trys to make me use my old key
[00:14] <bazhang> taora, installs from where
[00:14] <ErroneousAlex> is there a way to make it use my new key I created
[00:15] <taora> bazhang, relating to my former question about libreoffice tool, from here: http://www.adarsus.com/en/openoffice-metadata.html
[00:15] <kayetech> hello, I'm looking to install ubuntu directly from the iso, without putting onto usb drive. is that possible?
[00:15] <taora> how can I check if the tool does what it is supposed to do?
[00:16] <k1l_> taora: well, i guess you have to ask the adarsus guys about that
[00:16] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Possible : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot  . IF tou can figure out how to unmount the booting root partition . I have failed .
[00:18] <genii> Bashing-om: They may also be using some unusual boot manager, like plop
[00:19] <Guest26876> I found "Memory Fast Boot" is that the one ?
[00:19] <ar_sahito> hi people
[00:20] <ar_sahito> Need help here
[00:20] <kayetech> Bashing-om, thanks. I'm reading
[00:20] <taora> k1l_, like this: 'hi, could you please suggest me one way to check if your tool might contain malware?' ? :)
[00:20] <kayetech> genii, no, I'm using whatever is default with ubuntu 16.04
[00:21] <k1l_> taora: yes :)
[00:21] <k1l_> taora: ask them how they make sure it doesnt contain malicious code
[00:22] <k1l_> taora: you could ask/pay someone to audit the code (if its open source or if they will let you do this). but this is not really ontopic for this ubuntu support channel.
[00:23] <Bashing-om> !ask | ar_sahito
[00:24] <kayetech> man this process looks like a major pita/time-suck Bashing-om. I'm probably just being dumb. Used to do IT, haven't for ~6.5 years. Basically, I have a new SSD that I want to install to. I've got the iso on my HDD which is my boot drive. Is there an article that explains how to install from my current boot drive to the new SSD? I have the SSD in my laptop and the HDD in an external enclosure at this point
[00:25] <taora> k1l_, yes, I am aware, sorry..didn't intend to go deeper into it, but was just wondering if I could use any program on ubuntu to check the packages.
[00:25] <k1l_> kayetech: most easy way is using a ubuntu dvd or usb. everything else needs some more effort for the setup
[00:25] <kayetech> yeah I don't have a dvd or spare usb k1l_
[00:26] <kayetech> not without formatting things that I don't have backups for and can't back up at this time
[00:26] <k1l_> kayetech: so it might be better to invest 10minutes  to free or find a usb pendrive instead of reading and trying to do the setup for other methods for one hour :)
[00:26] <Guest26876> Seems the problem maby has been solved... (Memory Fast Boot turned off)
[00:26] <Bashing-om> kayetech: I tried the Install from the isoboot -once -.. I did not spend a lot of time at it but I did not see a ready means to UNmount the booting root partition to proceed with the install . But I am sure there is a way .
[00:27] <kayetech> well I just went and purchased the new drive and enclosure today. I'm not going out to find a USB stick at this point
[00:27] <Guest26876> Ok now im at harddrive detection again... the comuter has stoped making thinking sound and it still is on 0%
[00:28] <k1l_> taora: you can use clamav to scan for (windows) malware. you could sniff the traffic to see what is beeing send out/it with wireshark or such. but there is not a "press here and get a guarantee for malware free software" tool for beginners.
[00:28] <kayetech> k1l_, the only option to free data is to back up this current drive which I"m using, and then would be to erase it and that leaves me without an OS
[00:28] <kayetech> unless I can put the iso onto the ssd and then boot directly to that and also install to that drive
[00:28] <kayetech> is that possible? installing to the same ssd that I have the install ISO on?
[00:29] <kayetech> I assumed I would have to install to a different drive
[00:29] <taora> k1l_, oh? wasn't that what the key with the windows symbol was for?
[00:29] <Guest26876> I am starting to give up... ive searched google for answers for over one hour and been here for over one hour and nothing works....
[00:29] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Putting the .iso on the SSD is a good thought . Might even work .
[00:30] <kayetech> Bashing-om, it's already there, and I was going to try it but then I thought about it more and talked myself out of trying it
[00:30] <kayetech> I guess it won't hurt anything to try, right now it's just the iso and the rest is blank
[00:30] <k1l_> Bashing-om: i doubt. it might want to load data from the usb while erasing the ssd to isntall wont work
[00:30] <kayetech> that's what I figured k1l_
[00:31] <linearain> anyone have steam on ubuntu not open the menu in right upper icon
[00:31] <k1l_> so only thing i see is either debootstrap onto the ssd or load the iso from the hdd
[00:31] <kayetech> I was hoping that I could mount the iso on my boot drive, and install directly to the ssd, while still in the current boot environment
[00:31] <kayetech> if that makes sense
[00:32] <k1l_> kayetech: what OS is on that hdd?
[00:32] <kayetech> without restarting and booting to the iso
[00:32] <OerHeks> isoboot is easy when grub is already installed
[00:32] <kayetech> k1l_, ubuntu 16.04
[00:32] <k1l_> so put that iso on the hdd and make grub boot that.
[00:33] <k1l_> or use debootstrap form the running ubuntu
[00:33] <Guest26876> Still on 0% so it seems that turning off fast boot dident fix the problem, Any other suggestions ?
[00:33] <Bashing-om> kayetech: I dislike the taste of defeat . In my attempt to install from .iso I had the .iso on my booted system and attempting to install to a 3rd drive . Install failed as could not UNmount the root partition .
[00:33] <kayetech> I'm talking to you via the hdd right now, can't resize the partition
[00:33] <k1l_> no need to resize
[00:33] <k1l_> if its ext4 grub should be able to read from the ubuntu partition
[00:33] <kayetech> so I can tell grub to boot to an iso on my desktop?
[00:33] <kayetech> that's what that article was explaining? that Bashing-om sent?
[00:34] <kayetech> Bashing-om, yeah I see what you are saying
[00:34] <k1l_> kayetech: wait, you didnt even read that article yet?
[00:35] <kayetech> I started to, but I was having trouble following. let me look again
[00:35] <k1l_> you made it look like this method will not work/you dont want it.
[00:35] <kayetech> I thought it was wanting me to go a different direction
[00:35] <k1l_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot#Storing_the_ISO
[00:36] <Guest26876> (Had too do a manual shutdown this time to restart the computer)
[00:36] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Here might be a solution : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1155216 .
[00:37] <taora> I have another question. sometimes -like now- when transferring files in file manager, the file transfer bar is shown in the launcher, but its window is nowhere to be seen on the desktop, running in the background. is there something that can make the window appear in these cases?
[00:38] <mmoo9154> Anyone here able to help me with a logical volume problem I'm having?
[00:38] <mmoo9154> I have a logical volume at /dev/sda5 that I'm trying to extend with "sudo lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/root"
[00:38] <mmoo9154> But, that's not working.  :-(
[00:40] <mmoo9154> Is there a better channel for Ubuntu??
[00:40] <mmoo9154> Where are the people??
[00:41] <T3DY> !patience
[00:42] <mmoo9154> thx
[00:42] <Guest26876> Atleast you probably have a problem that can be soved, ive been here for two hours or more now...
[00:42] <mmoo9154> I've serached those links and many more.  But, sincerely thank you for them.  I'm just stuck.  :((
[00:43] <Sonderblade> doesn't chromium on ubuntu support java applets?
[00:43] <Sonderblade> if so, that's lame
[00:47] <T3DY> mmoo9154: Have you read http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/40702/how-to-manage-and-use-lvm-logical-volume-management-in-ubuntu/
[00:53] <kayetech> Bashing-om, k1l_ thanks for the help. time to reboot and see how it goes....
[00:54] <Bashing-om> kayetech: :) I will hve a vested interest here .
[00:55] <pngl> I just upgraded to Ubuntu 16.10 (from 14.04), and I can't connect to a windows share through samba. mount -a gives me: mount error(121): Remote I/O error
[01:01] <Guest26876> Well im  giving up... no ubuntu for me...
[01:01] <nomic> why
[01:01] <nomic> whats the problem
[01:02] <Guest26876> the problem is that the installation locks at hardware detection
[01:02] <Guest26876> been trying to solve this for over 5 hours now so...
[01:04] <T3DY> Guest26876: Is your hard disk failing?
[01:04] <Guest26876> nothing is wrong with my harddrive as of what i know
[01:05] <Guest26876> hard disk*
[01:05] <T3DY> Guest26876: Perhaps you should run a check on it, I got the same issue once but it was because my disk failed
[01:06] <Guest26876> well ive installed windows on it many times, none of the times has had any problem so it would be wierd if it has a problem
[01:07] <Guest26876> and way way before i tryed to install just ubuntu and that failed too
[01:07] <taora> hello again, the external software that I mentioned earlier requires java 1.7 or higher..I found out that openjdk is no more available..how can I install it?
[01:08] <Guest26876> And then when i tryed that i had another hard disk...
[01:08] <nacc> taora: what version of ubuntu? openjdk is absolutely still available...
[01:08] <taora> nacc, 16.04.
[01:08] <taora> 16.04.1. to be more accurate
[01:08] <nacc> !info openjdk-8-jre xenial | taora
[01:09] <nacc> !info openjdk-7-jre xenial | taora
[01:09] <nacc> taora: so 7 isn't, but 8 is (and iirc, a broken 9)
[01:10] <taora> nacc, indeed, both are installed already..but when I wan to see java version with 'java --version' it tells me java isn't installed
[01:10] <nacc> taora: ot
[01:11] <nacc> taora: err, sorry, it's `java -version`
[01:11] <taora> oh, thank you, nacc! :)
[01:11] <taora> now I see it is 1.8.
[01:11] <taora> 1.8.x
[01:12] <taora> nacc, it is shown as openjdk version, but it means java version, right?
[01:13] <nacc> taora: java -version shows you the JRE version (as it says)
[01:13] <taora> nacc, ok, I guess it must be right :)
[01:13] <yuken> Is there a way to proxy aptitude (apt-get, mainly) through a SOCKS5 proxy?
[01:14] <dvdmuckle> yuken: sure, aptitude mostly uses http, so just proxy port 80
[01:15] <blueking> finished configuring lacp   802,3ad   looks good   switch says partner 802,3ad are verified :)
[01:16] <arooni> hey folks; i have tightvnc viewer set up; and i can connect; but when i do ; i dont see anything at all.  ideas on how to fix?
[01:16] <yuken> dvdmuckle, how would I do that? This is through a virtual machine, of course - VirtualBox
[01:17] <yuken> the SOCKS5 proxy is running on the host.
[01:17] <kayetech> I'm back
[01:18] <kayetech> Bashing-om, k1l_. my roommate has a usb stick for me to borrow. I just put the xubuntu 64bit iso on to a usb stick and booted to the stick. it showed the xubuntu logo briefly, then the screen went black and had a cursor blinking in the upper left and was unresponsive
[01:18] <kayetech> should I try a different iso? also I tried the xubuntu channel and it's unresponsive
[01:18] <dvdmuckle> yuken: i don't remember the exact syntax, but you can use ssh. proxying port 80 requires root privileges
[01:19] <dvdmuckle> ah, here we are
[01:19] <dvdmuckle> ssh -f -N -q -L 80:localhost:80 username@www.example.com
[01:19] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | kayetech nVidia graphics ?
[01:19] <dvdmuckle> where username@www.example.com is the machine you want the proxy to go to
[01:19] <yuken> dvdmuckle, I already have a proxy set up on the host machine with PuTTY :p.
[01:19] <yuken> Need to figure out how to use that.
[01:20] <dvdmuckle> with putty? what's the host machine running?
[01:20] <yuken> Windows 7.
[01:20] <yuken> VirtualBox is what the guest will run in.
[01:20] <dvdmuckle> okay then. why do you need the proxy?
[01:20] <kayetech> sorry about that, wrong button
[01:21] <yuken> dvdmuckle, because I'd like to use a proxy ;o.
[01:21] <kayetech> thanks Bashing-om and ubottu I'm reading that article
[01:21] <jnewt> have a problem with browsers not displaying the page.  it loads, i can click links, but everything is white.  ie i have to wait until my cursor changes to know i can click on something.  solid white.
[01:22] <jnewt> it's not all the time, and a restart fixes it.  has happened on chrome and firefox.
[01:22] <dvdmuckle> yuken: ah, sorry then, i'm not too sure about using putty on the host. haven't done that before :)
[01:22] <jnewt> this midori browser seems unaffected, but i haven't used it that much
[01:22] <yuken> dvdmuckle, thanks anyway then :p
[01:25] <kayetech> ubottu, I open the boot options and type "nomodeset" then continue booting?
[01:26] <kayetech> Bashing-om, ^
[01:26] <kayetech> the article that ubottu linked doesn't have the screen shot that the post is referencing...
[01:27] <borntrager> I am trying to use an external USB DJ controller and it gives me an error related to USB/HID permissions "USB permissions problem (or device error.) Your account needs write access to USB HID controllers." Any experience with this?

[01:27] <kayetech> cool, thanks
[01:28] <kayetech> maybe it will work this time...
[01:29] <borntrager> Does anyone know how I could give my user account USB/HID permissions in Ubuntu 16.10?
[01:30] <Bashing-om> karlthane: My memory is not too great . space-bar to select , tab to OK, enter to accept to set a boot parameter .
[01:52] <bobo__> hi
[01:52] <RNeville> hi bobo
[02:09] <Currydbtgh> noob here, is using the bootable usb instructions for the latest version for ubuntu 10.10 fine?
[02:10] <wedgie> Currydbtgh: probably? But surely you can find newer instructions
[02:10] <bryceml> Probably, you just dd the iso image to a usb, thats how it's always been as far as I know.
[02:11] <Currydbtgh> aight thnx
[02:13] <bryceml> you can use 'progress=status' as an argument on dd now so it will tell you how far it is.  I think dd might automatically call sync by itself now too, but it doesn't hurt to do it again anyways.
[02:16] <arooni> can i make super + a be autoatically mapped to control + a ?
[02:23] <RNeville> Running Ubuntu 16.04 can manual start system backup in "System Settings" backup not done in 43 days
[02:23] <RNeville> don't understand why I can manual start a /home folder backup
[02:26] <RNeville> manually/manual***
[02:27] <RNeville> can't manually / can manual***

[03:16] <Tendies> Hi, Could someone point me to the best place to help with this issue (if it isn't here)? I started using kvm/qemu to run a kali VM in ubuntu 14.04, and I lost power while kvm was running and now ubuntu will just sit on the login screen after i enter the password and never advance.
[03:17] <Tendies> I think it's most likely related to kvm because that was the only thing I was doing that I don't normally do
[03:17] <kayetech> Bashing-om, finally got it working
[03:22] <kayetech> k1l_, Bashing-om thanks for the help earlier
[03:31] <Tendies> If I didn't end up actually asking a question there, How can I troubleshoot this issue if I can't actually login to the system?
[03:31] <noimnotninevolt> boot to single user mode?
[03:31] <gogeta> use cli
[03:32] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Glad2help . New to ubuntu ? we are here to help ya over the rough spots .
[03:32] <noimnotninevolt> cli requires login unless in single user mode
[03:32] <gogeta> he forgot his password?
[03:32] <noimnotninevolt> "can't actually login" is all i saw.
[03:33] <Tendies> i can't tell if you just joined or not but if you were here, I described the situation a few minutes ago
[03:33] <noimnotninevolt> another possibility involves booting a recovery image or a live image.
[03:33]  * noimnotninevolt scrolls back
[03:33] <gogeta> you can use single user to clear a password
[03:33] <noimnotninevolt> oh. that's odd.
[03:33] <gogeta> :)
[03:33] <noimnotninevolt> so the display manager starts up and you get a graphical login prompt?
[03:34] <noimnotninevolt> have you tried switching to a console?
[03:34] <gogeta> i didnt see his issue just cant login
[03:34] <Tendies> how might I do that?
[03:34] <noimnotninevolt> (ctrl+alt+f1 through ctrl+alt-f6 should do it)
[03:34] <noimnotninevolt> (ctrl+alt+f7 should return you to the graphical console, iirc)
[03:35] <gogeta> so he does bot know his login info?
[03:35] <gogeta> not
[03:35] <Tendies> i had a vm up in kvm and lost power and now it wont go past login, gogeta
[03:35] <noimnotninevolt> past display manager login.
[03:36] <gogeta> Tendies, the defult is bormaly ubuntu ubuntu
[03:36] <noimnotninevolt> i'd try console login next. if that fails, i'd try booting to single user mode.
[03:36] <noimnotninevolt> and if that fails, i'd try a booting a live image.
[03:37] <Tendies> so i can login with the console, but switching out doesn't put me to the desktop
[03:37] <Tendies> is there some config file i should check to see what's going on?
[03:37] <noimnotninevolt> so then you can troubleshoot from the command line :P
[03:37] <gogeta> Tendies, i would just reinstall sounds like things did not set up fully abyways due to power lose
[03:37] <noimnotninevolt> you can look at your display manager logs, i guess?
[03:38] <noimnotninevolt> i don't really do much gui stuff under ubuntu. you're probably running gdm?
[03:38] <kayetech> Bashing-om, no, been using it for about 6 years, but not actively digging into the software like I used to. I used to do IT, but it's been about 6years. so I'm rusty
[03:38] <Tendies> lightdm i think?
[03:38] <kayetech> I'm actually having trouble figuring out which graphics driver I need, are you able to help a bit more Bashing-om ?
[03:38] <noimnotninevolt> check /var/log/lightdm/ then
[03:39] <gogeta> kayetech, what video card
[03:39] <noimnotninevolt> also, i'm not positive that f7 is the graphical console. might be f6 or f8.
[03:40] <kayetech> gogeta, http://ark.intel.com/products/52220/Intel-Core-i3-2310M-Processor-3M-Cache-2_10-GHz#@specifications
[03:40] <gogeta> kayetech, just a intergrated intel you need to do nothing its out of box
[03:40] <kayetech> intel 2nd gen core processor family integrated graphics controller (rev 09)
[03:41] <kayetech> gogeta, it's not letting me adjust the screen resolution though. it's stuck at 1024x768. should be able to go a bit higher than that
[03:42] <kayetech> I don't remember exactly gogeta but I think it was 1300xsomething
[03:42] <kayetech> been too long
[03:45] <Tendies> It looks like the login authentication was successful then it has a line saying Greeter requests session ubuntu, and the next line says "Seat: Stopping greeter; display server will be re-used for user session" then it looks like it kills the greeter process. Seems like the expected behavior but I don't know anything. Thoughts?
[03:46] <gogeta> kayetech, oh gear you go http://askubuntu.com/questions/776435/i-cant-get-1920x1080-with-intel-linux-graphic-driver
[03:46] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Yeah , I know a bit about graphic's drivers. What are we working with ? pastebin - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - . and we have a talk then .
[03:47] <gogeta> kayetech, they be a pain to setup fully
[03:47] <gogeta> kayetech, bascily you may have to add the higher rez by hand
[03:48] <jnewt> i have xrdp setup and working using either port=-1 or port=ask as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/133343/how-do-i-set-up-xrdp-session-that-reuses-an-existing-session?noredirect=1&lq=1
[03:48] <Tendies> if you need the whole thing ill try and figure out how to get it uploaded somewhere
[03:49] <jnewt> what i want is to log into the session at my computer as i left it when i was sitting in front of it.
[03:50] <gogeta> Tendies, your just overcomplucating things you lost power things did not configure
[03:50] <Tendies> what?
[03:50] <gogeta> Tendies, just reinstall the vm
[03:50] <Tendies> this is not a problem with the vm
[03:50] <kayetech> gogeta, Bashing-om http://pastebin.com/SgbznV1h
[03:50] <Tendies> i can't login to the host
[03:51] <Tendies> it's probably a result of the vm, but the bigger problem at the moment is the host system not logging in, at least in gui mode
[03:51] <gogeta> Tendies, cli is working?
[03:52]  * xrandr_work is tempted to replace his fedora install with ubuntu on his desktop
[03:52] <Tendies> yes, and i looked at the lightdm log and i didn't see any explicit errors
[03:52] <gogeta> Tendies, can you drop to console and login
[03:53] <Tendies> yes that's how i looked at the lightdm log
[03:53] <gogeta> Tendies, ok one sec
[03:54] <gogeta> Tendies, pass this command see if it does anything sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[03:55] <gogeta> Tendies, it should finidhing what got intrupted and hopefully fix your error
[03:55] <gogeta> finish
[03:55] <Bashing-om> kayetech: Not much else I can add as this is Intel . I am surprised you had difficulties installing with Intel, as it "just works" .
[03:56] <gogeta> Tendies, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[03:56] <kayetech> Bashing-om, well it "works" in that I have gui etc. but the resolution is stuck at 1024x768. I know it goes higher, because if I boot to my other hdd it will give me better rees
[03:56] <Tendies> alright i've got it running, it has some prompts for some settings right?
[03:57] <kayetech> I just don't remember off the top of my head what that res is and I'm trying to avoid a bunch of reboots. but it looks like I might just need to do that =)
[03:57] <gogeta> Tendies, yea should go thew abd fix what was not compleated
[03:57] <kayetech> brb
[03:57] <grekkos> if I do ufw disable that should disable the firewall completely right? I'm trying to troubleshoot some issues with my server. I'm wondering if the firewall is blocking a wordpress plugin I have from phoning home to its registration server. I want to allow outgoing http requests to a set of speccific ip addresses they provided, can anyone help?
[03:58] <gogeta> Tendies, then reboot when its done see if your desktops restored
[04:00] <Tendies> nope, also I didn't see anything related to kvm in the things it was configuring - just a ton of stuff about clamav
[04:01] <gogeta> Tendies, still no login?
[04:01] <daniel_> hi
[04:02] <daniel_> is there anybody out there?
[04:02] <xrandr_laptop> daniel_, nope, we're all in here :)
[04:02] <Tendies> depending on what you mean by that. It accepts the password and the login stuff goes away. I have pointer control but all that's on the screen is the default ubuntu background and ubuntu 14.04 LTS in the bottom left
[04:03] <Tendies> but this is the same behavior I had before the dpkg-reconfigure -a
[04:03] <kayetech> Bashing-om, just rebooted, resolution on hdd is 1366x768 (16:9) aspect ratio
[04:03] <gogeta> Tendies, oh ok so its a xorg problem sounds like crupttion
[04:04] <Prelude2004c> hey guys.. running an OS with some encoder cards and i am having a bit of an issue... when i load up about 7 UDP streams ( pushing about 170Mbit/s ) of UDP input it works ok... but soon as i hit about 190Mbit/s it starts to pixalate and i start getting a lot of distortion on the encoding. THe cards are only at 50% , the network doesn't seem to be done much... the cpu's are at 50% .. everything seems normall.. /proc/net/udp does't show an
[04:04] <Prelude2004c> y drops
[04:04] <Tendies> so reinstall X11?
[04:04] <Prelude2004c> so i am super confused on how to try and figure this out
[04:04] <kayetech> I'm re-reading the link gogeta  sent about adding the resolution manually
[04:06] <gogeta> Tendies, try passing this and rebooting sudo touch /forcefsck
[04:06] <gogeta> Tendies, maybe it can recover from the crupttion
[04:08] <Tendies> nope
[04:08] <gogeta> Tendies, did it can the file system
[04:08] <gogeta> scan
[04:09] <Tendies> it said checking disk for errors or something, then it went away before i could read any more
[04:09] <gogeta> Tendies, ok herm
[04:12] <gogeta> Tendies, try oassing apt-get -f install
[04:12] <gogeta> passing
[04:12] <gogeta> Tendies, relly sound like it was installing something and failed
[04:14] <Tendies> "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 333 not upgraded"
[04:14] <gogeta> Tendies, and unity is still failing to load
[04:14] <amazoniantoad> Is it possible to boot with two different GPU's and dedicated one for a vm gpu passthrough?
[04:15] <amazoniantoad> They are both nvidia but different models.
[04:16] <Tendies> yep nothing changed, gogeta
[04:16] <gogeta> Tendies, well last resort hear udo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[04:16] <Tendies> what all will that effect?
[04:16] <Tendies> affect
[04:16] <gogeta> Tendies, should set ur all back to factury the base desktop
[04:17] <gogeta> Tendies, whont affect anything you installed
[04:18] <gogeta> Tendies, should replace any base files you lost
[04:18] <Tendies> how do i type the password to a network from CLI, i need network to get any files :|
[04:19] <Tendies> i can probably figure this out from network-manager man pages
[04:19] <Tendies> ..if that was the right program
[04:21] <gogeta> Tendies, nmcli d connect <WifiInterface>
[04:21] <gogeta> Tendies, probly Wlan9
[04:21] <gogeta> wlan0
[04:23] <gogeta> Tendies, bring you have your wifi saved juat nmcli nm wifi on
[04:24] <amazoniantoad> Can I boot the graphical desktop without a gpu? instead just using the cpu's gpu?
[04:24] <gogeta> amazoniantoad, no you need some sort of gpu
[04:25] <Tendies> the first command wasn't valid apparently, and the second doesn't appear to work as when i try ping to verify it says network unreachable
[04:25] <gogeta> trench, arg
[04:25] <amazoniantoad> gogeta, I can't use xorg? Isn't that just for the cpu?
[04:26] <gogeta> Tendies, try nmcli radio wifi on
[04:26] <gogeta> amazoniantoad, you always need some sort of gpu to display anything
[04:26] <amazoniantoad> gogeta, right. But can't I use the intel gpu?
[04:27] <gogeta> amazoniantoad, you can
[04:27] <amazoniantoad> Thanks
[04:27] <amazoniantoad> gogeta, this is supported by choosing xorg server. correct?
[04:28] <gogeta> amazoniantoad, yes intel drivers are part of xorg
[04:29] <Tendies> the nmcli nm wifi on command didn't error, and this radio one doesn't work. I saw the prompt to type the wifi password at the gui login screen so i think wi-fi is on, just not connected
[04:30] <gogeta> Tendies, tryv= nmcli d connect Wlan0
[04:30] <gogeta> nmcli d connect Wlan0
[04:30] <Tendies> it says that's not a valid command
[04:31] <gogeta> hua
[04:31] <Tendies> 'dev' command 'connect' is not valid.
[04:35] <gogeta> Tendies, try nmcli d wifi connect
[04:36] <gogeta> Tendies, probly will need your ssid and pwassword for that one
[04:37] <gogeta> Tendies, nmcli d wifi connect <WiFiSSID> password <WiFiPassword> iface <WifiInterface>\

[04:47] <Tendies> alright ill try and get that going and reinstall ubuntu-desktop. have to make up for some procrastinating for the time being :)
[04:47] <Tendies> thanks for your help
[05:01] <snkcld> should an intel HD 630 gpu have chrome show "hardware acceleration unavailable" for each entry in about:gpu?
[05:02] <snkcld> does the GPU literally have no acceleration capabilities to help out chrome? or is it kernel level support thats lacking?
[05:07] <Npco> My hp deskjet 2132 scans and prints, but when I try to print something I just scanned, it prints the picture in the upper left corner, not a full page. How do I change this please?
[05:10] <jnewt> how do i get vnc (x11vnc server, ultravnc viewer) to scale a single screen to my window (i have multiple monitors on my desktop).  if i scale now, it tries to squash all 3 displays into the window.
[05:15] <cluelessperson> fucking god damn it
[05:16] <cluelessperson> I spent an hour working on a diagram, ubuntu crashed with chromium playing a youtube video, and it's gone. :/
[05:18] <cluelessperson> actually
[05:18] <cluelessperson> I think it's still running in the background
[05:18] <cluelessperson> How can I switch the task to the current session?
[05:18] <cluelessperson> like, ubuntu crashed, the window manager restarted? came back up?
[05:18] <cluelessperson> the process shows still I think in top, the youtube video was still playing
[05:20] <jnewt> is vnc inherently slower than ms rdp?  it's so much slower on my network (just got vnc working (x11vnc server on ubuntu 16.04, ultravnc viewer on win7)) and it's painful.
[05:28] <IrcDroidClient> how can i ssh connect to my raspberry3 running ubuntumate without monitor
[05:28] <IrcDroidClient> what's the logging account and password?
[05:29] <IrcDroidClient> anybody know that
[05:29] <IrcDroidClient> is here the right place to ask?
[05:30] <dimaj> IrcDroidClient: have you tried pi/raspberry
[05:30] <IrcDroidClient> access denied
[05:32] <dimaj> what about ubuntu/ubuntu?
[05:33] <dimaj> (no ? at the end)
[05:36] <IrcDroidClient> incorrect
[05:36] <dimaj> i would try the #ubuntu-mate channel
[05:37] <dimaj> sorry
[05:39] <formless> Hey there. I'm looking to revert my radeon graphics drivers from the oibaf ppa back to the original drivers for my system so I can upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04. Is this process as simple as just doing a ppa-purge on the oibaf ppa, or do I need to go through a similar set of steps as uninstalling, say, the proprietary drivers?
[05:39] <krytarik> IrcDroidClient: ubuntu-mate / EMPTY - on the regular Live image.
[05:39] <cfhowlett> formless, if you installed from ppa, ppap-purge is the cure
[05:40] <formless> cfhowlett, And I should only perform the ppa-purge while X is not running, correct?
[05:40] <IrcDroidClient> i am trying to ssh connect to my raspberry whats the default account and password?
[05:40] <cfhowlett> formless, never used it myself, but that sounds legit
[05:41] <pennTeller> Hi guys this is killing me... Im using a command in Ubuntu named dmidecode  it dumps the bios info so you can see for example hwo fast you ram is running... Does any body know what dmi in dmidecode means?
[05:42] <formless> pennTeller, have you tried man dmidecode to see what it has to say?
[05:43] <dimaj> pennTeller: Desktop Management Interface
[05:43] <dimaj> https://linux.die.net/man/8/dmidecode
[05:45] <formless> I'm going to log out and purge my oibaf drivers, now, hopefully this was the right idea.
[05:46] <cfhowlett> formless, wait 1
[05:46] <cfhowlett> you need to purge drivers so you can update?  that sounds off.
[05:46] <pennTeller> dimaj, thanks man
[05:46] <dimaj> anytime!
[05:46] <cfhowlett> why not just comment the ppa out in the source list but leave it in place?
[05:46] <formless> Oibaf dropped support for 15.10, it does sound off, but its the only package that won't work for the update.
[05:47] <cfhowlett> formless, fair enought
[05:47] <formless> I figured a simple comment would break things.
[05:47] <formless> As I know for sure I have packages pointing specifically to the oibaf drivers
[05:47] <cfhowlett> formless, not usually but do what you do.
[05:47] <SlashLife^m> Morning :)
[05:48] <krytarik> formless: The upgrade will do that anyway.
[05:48] <SlashLife^m> Can someone explain to me why I have a "dead stripe" on one of my screens in which the cursor vanishes?
[05:48] <formless> krytarik, The upgrade will not go through.
[05:48] <krytarik> Well, like cfhowlett said then.
[05:49] <SlashLife^m> And it doesn't even vanish completely the moment I enter this stripe, it just seems that any part of the cursor within this stripe does not get rendered (so when I enter or exit it, I get half a cursor).
[05:50] <formless> SlashLife^m, what desktop environment are you using?
[05:50] <SlashLife^m> Is Unity a DE? Haven't been on desktop Linux in ages. :/
[05:50] <SlashLife^m> Oh, and 16.04
[05:50] <SlashLife^m> In any case; vanilla Ubuntu installation in this regard.
[06:21] <pennTeller> Guys can anybody point me to the definitve answer on the whole Linux vs GNU/Linux thing?
[06:21] <pennTeller> I seem to find conflicting info
[06:25] <box> hey guys
[06:27] <Guest99044> im on southwest flight 1664, ask me anything

[06:36] <SSSN> hello guys
[06:49] <john__> Hello Guys! New to linux(kubuntu). Wireless device stopped working all on a sudden. Is there anybody knows how to solve this?
[06:58] <naf> hello
[06:58] <naf> does anybody know why i am unable to make an outgoing connection on port 25 from my ubuntu server?
[06:59] <hateball> naf: Your ISP, perhaps
[07:00] <tfaal> Hi all, I have ubuntu 16.04 and am trying to use python 3.6. Is there any way that I can get PIP working?
[07:01] <tfaal> installing pip gives me the python2.7 version, and pip3 gives me the python3.5 version. Will I have to upgrade to ubuntu 16.10?
[07:06] <ledeni> tfaal, check http://askubuntu.com/questions/865554/how-do-i-install-python-3-6-using-apt-get
[07:09] <tfaal> ledeni : Thanks, I will try pyenv.
[07:16] <formless> So it turns out that I don't have the oibaf ppa installed, and it seems that my problem was that sources pointed to the wrong location as 15.10 is no longer supported.
[07:17] <formless> I used the sed command found here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-an-old-unsupported-release  (and included us. to the archive name) and now all of my sources point to places that don't exist.
[07:17] <formless> But 15.10 can be found here: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[07:18] <jnewt1> http://pasted.co/b46af6c6  any idea why i can't get anything to run right? graphics driver?
[07:21] <Mtrz> Is it possible to rotate a display while using nomodeset?
[07:22] <EriC^^> Mtrz: xrandr --rotate <left,right,etc>
[07:24] <Mtrz> Eric^^: syntax in 16.10 requires me to specify --output, which requires a specifiable display
[07:24] <EriC^^> Mtrz: try xrandr -q to list them
[07:25] <Mtrz> Eric^^: it turns up a list with no named interfaces
[07:25] <Mtrz> Eric^^: none are HDMI, etc as expected
[07:26] <EriC^^> hmm
[07:26] <tonglei> 大家好
[07:27] <formless> So does anyone know where I went wrong with my source list changing?
[07:27] <ducasse> formless: can you pastebin it?
[07:27] <formless> Sure thing
[07:29] <formless> ducasse: http://pastebin.com/XNKAgLRQ
[07:31] <formless> I'm just trying to get my packages in order so I can upgrade to 16.05
[07:31] <formless> *16.05
[07:31] <formless> *16.04
[07:32] <ducasse> formless: and what error are you getting?
[07:33] <formless> ducasse: http://pastebin.com/1PKQ3JuY
[07:33] <formless> These all should be the right source, I have no idea why it's not correct.
[07:35] <ducasse> formless: right. last time i looked, wily actually had not been moved to old-releases, did you try the normal archives first?
[07:36] <formless> ducasse: I did, but attempting to perform the 16.04 update failed with no real error code.
[07:36] <_dan__> hi does anyone know if its possible to make a shared mount within /etc/fstab
[07:36] <_dan__> or must i run mount --make-shared explicitly every boot
[07:36] <formless> ducasse: In addition, I also checked here, and wily is listed, but I can't get the full package list from the website: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/
[07:38] <formless> Ah wait
[07:38] <formless> Wily isn't on here.
[07:38] <ducasse> formless: no, there is no directory for wily in dist/
[07:38] <formless> Yes, I just realized I went to the wrong folder.
[07:38] <formless> That still doesn't explain why I can't upgrade
[07:39] <formless> At this point I'm thinking about just wiping the root folder and installing from a disc.
[07:39] <ducasse> formless: well, first step is to change the sources back
[07:39] <ducasse> formless: this can probably be fixed, is my guess
[07:40] <formless> ducasse: Do you know where I can find a default sources list file for 15.10?
[07:41] <formless> I was so sure this would fix my problem that I forgot to backup my old sources file. The sed command did not save an automatic backup.
[07:42] <ducasse> formless: sed -ir 's/old-releases/archive/g' sources.list
[07:44] <formless> ducasse: Ah, Ubuntu keeps a backup through just reloading the sources on the update manager. I fixed that issue, but I'm still back on being unable to upgrade my distro.
[07:44] <ducasse> formless: are you using any ppas?
[07:45] <formless> ducasse: I've disabled many of them, and from what I'm aware the most troublesome ones like xorg-edgers are not on my system.
[07:46] <ducasse> formless: my suggestion is to purge every single one with ppa-purge, then try the upgrade

[08:09] <budder> hello all. I have a usb drive that I used to create windows 10 installation media on. I can no longer write on that usb drive. I have now installed lubuntu 14.04 and would like to reformat this drive finally. i believe I can do so using terminal, correct?
[08:12] <ducasse> budder: yes, but if you can no longer write on it that might mean it's dead
[08:12] <kierqueen> ducasse hi
[08:12] <ducasse> budder: you don't need the terminal either, you can use gparted
[08:12] <budder> ducasse: it is write-protected because i put a windows 10 iso on it
[08:13] <kierqueen> budder: use cli not gparted
[08:13] <ducasse> budder: then just delete the partition(s), make new one(s) and format.
[08:13] <kierqueen> just make a new partion there using fsck
[08:14] <ducasse> kierqueen: fsck is not used to make partitions
[08:14] <kierqueen> no need to delete the partition, just use mkfs lol
[08:14] <kierqueen> ducasse: I don't get you
[08:14] <hateball> kierqueen: maybe you mean fdisk
[08:14] <ducasse> kierqueen: fsck is a filesystem checker
[08:15] <kierqueen> He has to check too that it works fine, no need of fdisk at all. Leave that partition intact
[08:15] <kierqueen> It's safety is needed when not using gparte
[08:15] <hateball> kierqueen: So why would you tell someone to make a new partition using fsck
[08:15] <budder> how long will it take to unmount using gparted? it's been a couple minutes
[08:16] <budder> idk if it's frozen
[08:16] <ducasse> budder: might mean there are files open on it
[08:16] <hateball> budder: for as long as you've got files open
[08:16] <budder> no files open
[08:16] <budder> just a windows iso on this drive
[08:17] <budder> the lower pane of the gparted windows says "searching /dev/sdb partitions" since all i've done is right click > unmount
[08:17] <seprob> ducasse, thanks.
[08:21] <_jd> Hi All. Can anyone help me resovel this https://bpaste.net/show/b587ea233da9?
[08:21] <_jd> Is installing apt-get install nginx-extra going to solve the issue?
[08:22] <ducasse> _jd: try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[08:23] <_jd> ducasse: same
[08:23] <_jd> I tried even aptitude install nginx
[08:25] <budder> nothing is working
[08:25] <budder> gparted is not working, startup disk creator is not working
[08:25] <budder> not sure i'm using cli correctly
[08:26] <ducasse> budder: is the usb stick unmounted?
[08:27] <budder> ducasse: yes
[08:28] <ducasse> budder: which filesystem do you want?
[08:28] <budder> ducasse: i honestly don't know. i want to use it to create a windows 10 installation media
[08:29] <budder> a NEW one. the previous iso is ages old from when windows 10 was just released
[08:30] <budder> and i've already downloaded it. just want to load it onto this damn usb drive (have also wanted to format this drive since the first time I "locked" it after loading windows 10 on it)
[08:30] <_jd> Any other suggestion? Or perhaps what other info I should provide?
[08:30] <ducasse> budder: afaik, creating windows boot sticks under ubuntu is a hassle, just wipe it and do it from windows
[08:31] <budder> ducasse: okay fine i'll do it with windows. but the problem is wiping it. i can't wipe it
[08:32] <ducasse> budder: you can format it as ntfs by 'sudo mkfs.ntfs /dev/sdbx' - replace sdbx with proper device and partition number
[08:33] <budder> ducasse: "could not open /dev/sdc: read-only file system
[08:34] <ducasse> budder: my guess is it's dead.
[08:35] <james0r2> can't seem to get my last used OS to save at the grub boot menu
[08:35] <budder> ducasse: okay np.
[08:35] <budder> thanks
[08:35] <james0r2> Here's my /etc/default/grub --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23946535/
[08:35] <james0r2> and i've run sudo-mkconfig and sudo update-grub2 after changing it
[08:36] <james0r2> when i use win10 and restart it still has Ubuntu which is first entry selected
[08:40] <ducasse> _jd: does 'sudo apt install -f' also fail?
[08:42] <_jd> ducasse: Sorry I figured it out. Nothing was wrong with install, but with configure process. A colleague had apache running, so port 80 was in use :)

[10:29] <jdi93> hi! i have problem with ubuntu python packages - i firstly installed PyQt5 from Ubuntu repositories and all worked well. After that I installed newer version of PyQt5 with pip3 and found out that it doesn't support GTK styling. I removed it and now PyQt5 from Ubuntu repos doesn't work anymore. Any idea what should I try? (I already tried to remove, install, reinstall packages connected to pyqt5, removed config for QtProject, Trolltec

[10:43] <ducasse> joci: chromium is in the repos, install in the normal way
[10:43] <ZaZ> joci: u can find chromium at software store on ubuntu. It's the open source part of chrome from google

[10:45] <ducasse> vegombrei: then you should have the latest version.
[10:45] <vegombrei> ducasse: hmm.. also earlier i did the sudo apt-get update thingy

[10:58] <jdi93> hi! i have problem with ubuntu python packages - i firstly installed PyQt5 from Ubuntu repositories and all worked well. After that I installed newer version of PyQt5 with pip3 and found out that it doesn't support GTK styling. I removed it and now PyQt5 from Ubuntu repos doesn't work anymore. Any idea what should I try? (I already tried to remove, install, reinstall packages connected to pyqt5, removed config for QtProject, Trolltec
[10:58] <lotuspsychje> jdi93: new version from ppa?
[10:59] <rizonz> anyone able to help me out with this ? https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?ShowHeaders=1;id=118519 it happens on cpan PDF::Burst
[10:59] <ducasse> jdi93: did you remove the package before installing newer version with pip?
[10:59] <kkunji> Hey everyone, for the sake of the logs, the question I was asking yesterday about reverse proxies, it was indeed an nginx reverse proxy that was giving the error, not my server.
[11:01] <jdi93> ducasse: no, i removed everything now and installed python3-pyqt5 from repo, but it doesn't work -- i get sigsegv when i import anything from pyqt5
[11:01] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: are these three commands which you told me?    1. mount -o   2 . remount    3. rw /
[11:01] <jdi93> lotuspsychje: ppa has pyqt5 5.5.1, pip has 5.7.1; first one has support for gtk styling, second one doesn't
[11:02] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: no, 1
[11:02] <lotuspsychje> !latest | jdi93
[11:03] <kkunji> jdi93: Might need to purge rather than just remove the packages, maybe some configuration files were being left behind.
[11:04] <jdi93> kkunji: remove --purge on python3-pyqt5 also doesn't help
[11:04] <kkunji> jdi93: Could be a dependency that was changed in the process?
[11:04] <ducasse> jdi93: did you remove what you installed with pip?
[11:05] <jdi93> kkunji: this is most probably why the thing stopped working, but I don't know where to look for changes
[11:05] <jdi93> ducasse: yes
[11:05] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: i tried that command, System returned and freezed at-------->         Recovery Menu (filesystem state: read-only)
[11:06] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: althought that command was executed.
[11:07] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: did you exit the root shell after running it?
[11:07] <kkunji> Should be able to see more of what has been installed in the logs  http://askubuntu.com/questions/425809/where-are-the-logs-for-apt-get  http://askubuntu.com/questions/680410/how-to-view-history-of-apt-get-install
[11:08] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: i didn't exit. I just saw it running commands with green 'Ok' in nearly all and it returned to -------->         Recovery Menu (filesystem state: read-only)
[11:09] <ducasse> jdi93: kkunji: i think it's more interesting what pip did, as it worked until he messed with that.
[11:09] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: you ran that command and it started doing other things?
[11:09] <jdi93> ducasse: agree
[11:10] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: After execution, Prompt appeared then it it showed all those commands with green 'Ok' in most and fell back to the Recovery Menu with its options.
[11:11] <ducasse> jdi93: for debugging that i'm afraid you'll need to ask in a python channel, i just know enough about it to get you into more trouble.
[11:11] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: it shouldn't do that, you should just get the root shell prompt back.
[11:12] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: let me hard-reset it and try again.
[11:14] <lotuspsychje> UbuntuUser: can you tell us when exactly your ubuntu broke?
[11:20] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: command is working, i get the prompt. But it loops back to the same Recovery Menu.
[11:20] <GeneralSpongebob> Hi, I've added "baseproxy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/baseproxy/suSquid.sh" using visudo but I still get prompted for a password. How can I change that? Thanks
[11:21] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: _immediately_ after executing the command, you get a root prompt _or_ the menu?
[11:21] <UbuntuUser> lotuspsychje: i was trying to merge my full /var partition in my root folder; In impatience i hard resetted the Machine. :-(
[11:21] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: root prompt !
[11:21] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: then suddenly it shows all those some checkign sort arrows and then again ---> Recovery Menu (frozen)
[11:21] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: ok, then edit fstab. that's what you were asking how to do, don't exit the shell.

[11:23] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: two times i tried to edit it but as i say it keeps falling back to Recovery Menu. Once it said it is '/etc/fsatb.swp is locked.
[11:24] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: something is really odd here. i suggest you do this from a live image.
[11:24] <GeneralSpongebob> Is this wrong in some syntax? "baseproxy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/baseproxy/suSquid.sh"
[11:24] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: it should just give you the prompt back and stay put, not continue boot unless you exit the shell with ^d
[11:25] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: true.
[11:27] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: it sounds to me like remounting / somehow triggers the boot to continue, and i don't see how/why. a live image would avoid that.
[11:29] <GeneralSpongebob> I'm thinking that the prompt might be because of a command within the script but I'm not sure. How do I add multiple entries in visudo for the same user?
[11:29] <eddi> Hey, Whenever I try to access a smb share via "mount -t cifs -o "credentials=~/.smbcredentials" //ip/share /mnt/share" it returns "mount error 13: permissions denied).
[11:29] <eddi> However I can access the same mount with the smbclient "smbclient -U <user> //ip/share". Could somebody help, please?
[11:31] <ducasse> GeneralSpongebob: you are running sudo inside the script, is that what you mean?
[11:31] <GeneralSpongebob> ducasse, I'm trying to run the script with sudo "sudo /home/baseproxy/suSquid.sh"
[11:31] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: I edited fstab using a Non-Ubuntu Live CD, but there are some files fstab.save     fstab.save.1    . Can i delete them?
[11:32] <sruli> how/where do i add to grub options "intel_iommu=on" ? i dont want to add it directly to grub.cfg as i need it to be generated on update-grub
[11:32] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: yes, they are backup files.
[11:33] <ducasse> sruli: /etc/default/grub
[11:33] <john> good afternoon !
[11:33] <ducasse> sruli: the line that begins with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[11:33] <Guest5918> nick John
[11:33] <mocxzwp> good afternoon
[11:35] <GeneralSpongebob> Ok, looks like it's not possible to allow specific commands to be used with sudo without a password. nevermind, documentation must be wrong
[11:35] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: am able to login to my Machine. Thanks !
[11:35] <ducasse> GeneralSpongebob: you want to run the script as user baseproxy from your uid?
[11:36] <ducasse> GeneralSpongebob: i'm pretty certain the docs are correct
[11:36] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: np
[11:36] <UbuntuUser> lotuspsychje: thanks
[11:36] <GeneralSpongebob> I want to 'sudo' the script so it can execute commands for squid3 and squidGuard but it just asks for a password
[11:37] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: but before showing the Login Screen it shows something like - >>  /dev/sda9 clean xxxx/xxx files; xxxx/xx blocks
[11:37] <GeneralSpongebob> I used 'whereis' to find the location of the binaries and changed visudo to "baseproxy ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/baseproxy/suSquid.sh, /usr/sbin/squid3, /usr/bin/squidGuard"
[11:37] <ducasse> UbuntuUser: never mind that, it just means the root fs is clean.
[11:38] <UbuntuUser> ducasse: ok. Thanks !! --------->      :-)
[11:41] <GeneralSpongebob> even "baseproxy ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" asks for a password
[11:41] <varazir> Can crontab be set to run a application as a user ?
[11:41] <varazir> What I want is to start screen(irssi) as a certan user
[11:42] <ppf> every user has their own crontab
[11:43] <varazir> ok
[11:45] <hateball> varazir: you can use /etc/crontab for systemwide cronjobs
[11:46] <GeneralSpongebob> ducasse, thanks for trying. Being as this is not possible in linux I'll have to find another way of doing it
[11:46] <mathematic-alpha> Hi  all  please if  any one of you wants his/her app to be tested, I will be very glad to participate :)
[11:47] <sruli> ducasse: thanks, how can i check if intel_iommu is really enabled?
[11:49] <ducasse> sruli: there will be messages in dmesg pertaining to DMAR
[11:50] <sruli> ducasse: found it "DMAR: IOMMU enabled" "AMD IOMMUv2 functionallity not available on this system" its not amd cpu,
[11:54] <ducasse> sruli: then you should be good to go.
[11:54] <sruli> ducasse: but AMD IOMMUv2 functionallity not available on this system"
[11:55] <ducasse> sruli: because you have an intel cpu
[11:56] <sruli> ducasse: i see but i still have an error when trying to pass pci to libvirt... "host doesn't support VFIO PCI passthrough"
[11:58] <ducasse> sruli: can you pastebin 'dmesg | grep DMAR' for me?
[11:59] <ducasse> sruli: seems you are correct, i don't have that amd message, but i get "DMAR: Intel(R) Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O"
[12:00] <ducasse> sruli: which cpu model is this?
[12:01] <sruli> ducasse: xeon e5540
[12:03] <ducasse> sruli: and the motherboard should support vt-d?
[12:05] <sruli> ducasse: dont know, its a hp dl380 g5
[12:05] <sruli> server
[12:07] <ducasse> sruli: from everything i can find, it does
[12:08] <ducasse> sruli: you have enabled vt-d in bios, right?
[12:09] <sruli> ducasse: vt yes, not sure about vt-d, it hosts 5 VMs
[12:10] <loserritis> hello guys, my front audio jack does not work and the rear works only after I unplug and plug the audio cable again. can anyone help?
[12:10] <ducasse> sruli: they are usually two different settings, you need both.
[12:10] <ducasse> sruli: (for directed i/o to work, that is)
[12:11] <cfhowlett> steven I wait for the LTS .1 release and the go for it.  No problems doing so since 10.10
[12:11] <sruli> ducasse: i really need to pass the usb port (there is a smart card reader on it passed to a win vm) i upgraded the server to 16.04 and phpvirtualbox stopped working after 20 hours of troubleshooting i just went to kvm/libvirt other usb devices seem to be working fine but this smart crd reader doesnt so i want to try passing the usb port
[12:11] <sruli> ducasse: not easy to get to the bios its a live server...
[12:12] <steven> oh .1 is not released yet.. hm I see cfhowlett is there an eta?
[12:12] <ducasse> sruli: vt-d being off in the bios would explain your issue, and you need to turn it on for kvm passthrough to work
[12:13] <ducasse> sruli: even for usb, i think
[12:13] <sruli> ducasse: ok, will have to reboot it to check
[12:15] <steven> oh no, wait it is released u just meant it in a more general sense .D gotcha cfhowlett thanks
[12:15] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[12:17] <cpaelzer> sruli: have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Managing#Adding_USB_Device_Pass-through
[12:17] <cpaelzer> I'm not sure you need vt-d for that kind of passthrough (usb 1.1)
[12:17] <cpaelzer> you would for pci*, but IIRC not for USB 1.1
[12:19] <ducasse> yes, istr vmware doing usb passthrough long before vt-d appeared

[12:28] <hellcook> Hi
[12:29] <hellcook> Any idea how to speed up a sshfs mount ?
[12:32] <Younder> sshfs?
[12:32] <Younder> nfs perhaps
[12:33] <FManTropyx> why /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libboost_filesystem.so.1.58.0 is not a symbolic link?
[12:33] <hellcook> Younder: thanks, I need the encryption though ;)
[12:34] <Younder> hellcook, I figured, you can get that through nfs though.
[12:35] <hellcook> Younder: my bad, I'd read nfs didn't provide encryption or a weak one
[12:38] <Byx> ;-)
[12:44] <stevenm> hey I've got an odd (graphical) program where if ran from the terminal using sudo it works (it seems it needs to run as root - tried many things to get it work without - a no go)... but if I try to run it using gksu/pkexec/gksudo then it won't work (e.g. to put in a .desktop file) any ideas why?
[12:46] <taora> hello everyone, the antivirus program gave me this result: https://is.gd/EOVdzM
[12:46] <taora> how am I supposed to interpret this? I never had something like this
[12:48] <cfhowlett> taora, first: what AV program?
[12:48] <taora> cfhowlett, comodo
[12:49] <cfhowlett> never heard of it, but surely it provides documentation to guide you?
[12:50] <taora> cfhowlett, the program offers to clean it, which I did. the information on the virus is here: https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/exploit_js_pdfka_ti.shtml..but where might have this come from?
[12:50] <cfhowlett> taora, I'd suspect a false positive
[12:50] <stevenm> taora, http://lists.scilab.org/pipermail/bugzilla/2014-August/035310.html
[12:50] <taora> looks like a windows virus
[12:51] <stevenm> or it could be a false alarm ^
[12:51] <taora> oh, ok?!
[12:52] <EriC^^> stevenm: does it work if you run the command from the terminal?
[12:52] <EriC^^> using pkexec or whatever
[12:52] <stevenm> EriC^^, so far only sudo has worked from terminal - pkexec is a no go
[12:52] <stevenm> EriC^^, it's because it uses some xdpydisplay util to tell if X is running
[12:52] <stevenm> and as far as it can tell 'root' isn't running x
[12:53] <taora> only yesterday I was asking here about an external file processing program, to make sure before downloading it..and when I saw this today..
[12:54] <cfhowlett> taora, good that you asked.  if I understood the bug that stevenm pointed to, it's a false positive so ... go forth and sin no more.
[12:57] <taora> does anyone know this tool, by the way, it is the one I downloaded yesterday to work on metadata; http://www.adarsus.com/en/openoffice-metadata.html ?
[12:58] <MrOpenSource> hello everybody

[13:04] <neo_> hi
[13:06] <neo_> hey
[13:08] <Camron> is there anyway to use the same type of switch as you use in fine " iname" in mv
[13:08] <deathskill99> So I need a suggestion for a itunes like manager for my android phone on ubuntu
[13:09] <Camron> Amarok is what i use
[13:09] <Camron> find it better then itunes in a lot of ways
[13:10] <Camron> is there anyway to use the same type of switch as you use in find " iname" in mv
[13:11] <ash_workz> what is 'gosu' ?
[13:12] <ash_workz> 'golang `su`' ?
[13:12] <vlt> Camron: You can use find and mv combined. Either `find ... -exec mv ...` or `find ... | xargs mv ...` or `find ... | while read file; do mv "$file" ...; done`
[13:15] <Camron> yes thats true, so your saying that there is no switch deadicated to mv its a situation of using find -exec mv that will do what i want
[13:16] <pac1> #functional
[13:16] <ash_workz> fyi: to answer my question: https://github.com/tianon/gosu
[13:18] <ousmane_> hello. i have a problem and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

[13:20] <ousmane_> in this table mine is red, so not supported http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43/
[13:21] <ousmane_> now i am not sure how to install the driver that i need

[13:26] <sruli> i am having trouble with a USB smart card reader being passed through kvm to a win guest, when i connect via rdp it doesnt work however when i connect through virt-viewer it does, what can be causing this?
[13:27] <computer2000> Can someone help me with xrandr question? I have an app that has the size 1920x1920 - now I have two projectors and I want one of them to project the upper half and the other one the bottom half of the App
[13:27] <computer2000> How do I set that up with xrandr?
[13:27] <taora> lotuspsyche, thank you! I already installed clamav and rkhunter..are these well-updated for scans/detection?
[13:29] <lotuspsychje> taora: clamav's database is up to date yes, but security goes far beyond only 1 scanner
[13:29] <taora> yes, sure,
[13:29] <taora> but I mean, if I do a scan with these and it says clean, can I rely on that?
[13:30] <taora> in other words, could there be something else on the computer that goes undetected by these?
[13:30] <lotuspsychje> taora: it would mean, you are not vulnerable of whats in that current database
[13:31] <taora> I see
[13:31] <lotuspsychje> taora: check this out mate: https://opensource.com/article/17/1/yearbook-50-ways-avoid-getting-hacked
[13:31] <lotuspsychje> taora: try to see security from all different sides
[13:32] <taora> lotuspsyche, will read it, thank you!
[13:32] <taora> lotuspsychje, will read it, thank you!
[13:32] <taora> sorry, the name corrected :)
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> taora: number 25. keep your system up to date, is already a big one
[13:33] <Prelude2004c> hey guys.. running an OS with some encoder cards and i am having a bit of an issue... when i load up about 7 UDP streams ( pushing about 170Mbit/s ) of UDP input it works ok... but soon as i hit about 190Mbit/s it starts to pixalate and i start getting a lot of distortion on the encoding. THe cards are only at 50% , the network doesn't seem to be done much... the cpu's are at 50% .. everything seems normall.. /proc/net/udp does't show an
[13:33] <Prelude2004c> y drops
[13:33] <ppf> taora: specificly not that non of these 50 suggestions is "run an av program"
[13:34] <ppf> and note it, too
[13:35] <taora> ppf, which is what I mean. I never used av programs. I never installed a program straight from the web, too, but I just had to, and would like to figure if I can somehow safely assume that my system is fine
[13:37] <rory> bash expands the glob once and then
[13:37] <rory> can I tail some_directory/* and start tailing new files as they appear?
[13:37] <Younder> rory, no
[13:37] <MrOpenSource> !security
[13:37] <EriC^^> rory: **/* will show all dirs and all files
[13:38] <rory> yeah the problem is it's bash which understands the *, not tail. So it will just tail whatever files are there at the time I run it.
[13:38] <ppf> EriC^^: in bash?
[13:38] <EriC^^> ppf: yes
[13:39] <EriC^^> i think if you set shopt -s globstar; echo **
[13:39] <EriC^^> will show all files without the dirs
[13:39] <EriC^^> (recursively)
[13:39] <ppf> fun
[13:39] <EriC^^> nah it shows dirs too
[13:39] <MrOpenSource> is it neccesary to install firewall and antive on ubuntu
[13:39] <MrOpenSource> ??
[13:39] <ppf> (it's been a while since i last used bash)
[13:40] <ppf> MrOpenSource: firewall is already installed, you should configure it
[13:40] <ppf> and av are a security threat, and shouldn't be used
[13:41] <EriC^^> rory: i think echo **/* shows all files without the dirs , no need for any shopt stuff
[13:42] <EriC^^> with shopt -s globstar , echo ** shows all files and dirs, for just the dirs and subdirs echo **/ will do that
[13:42] <BluesKaj> !antivirus | MrOpenSource
[13:43] <EriC^^> rory: nevermind i think i got it wrong about the echo **/* :D anyways
[13:43] <cfhowlett> MrOpenSource, ubuntu comes with firewall by default, but it is not enabled.  read         /msg ubottu ufw
[13:47] <Younder> ufw is a nice front-end to iptables which is a nice front-end to net-filter, the linux kernel IP filter.
[13:47] <Younder> When you masquerade ufw can be a bit confusing
[13:57] <MrOpenSource> what kind of rules should i add in ufw firewall
[13:57] <tgnb> Hi there. I am curious. Are the updates in the "Updates" tab of the "Ubuntu Software" application the same as the ones in the "Software Updater" application?
[13:57] <cfhowlett> yes, tgnb
[13:59] <Younder> ufw enable and if you use ssh from the outside ufw enable ssh. web (outside) ufw enable http or https
[13:59] <tgnb> cfhowlett: strange. often after installing updates from the "Software Updater" application, "Ubuntu Software" still claims to have updates. But it's much less detailed and more vague in the "Ubuntu Software" app. Also that app doesn't ever prompt for a restart after updating, while the "Software Updater" app does.
[13:59] <Younder> NB both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled
[14:00] <cfhowlett> tgnb, learn the command line: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade        are the commands you want
[14:01] <tgnb> cfhowlett: no "emerge world -NDuvp" in Ubuntu?
[14:01] <cfhowlett> I have no idea what that even means
[14:02] <Southern_Gentlem> tgnb, not all distro work the same
[14:02] <tgnb> it means thank you for answering my initial question
[14:02] <cfhowlett> happy2help!
[14:03] <tgnb> Southern_Gentlem: i know. sorry it was a sarcastic remark
[14:03] <hateball> tgnb: it's probably "apt upgrade" vs "apt full-upgrade"
[14:03] <hateball> tgnb: that is, the GUI updater will do the former
[14:04] <tgnb> which gui updater ;) there are two. which is what my original question was about. but i undertand. you mean both probably?
[14:07] <puddle> could someone suggest a command line utility that can cut xlsx/csv/tsv files to a limited number of rows maybe even able to limit columns?
[14:07] <EriC^^> puddle: split and there's paste for column stuff
[14:09] <irishsec> hi all
[14:10] <puddle> EriC^^, paste will only display two files side by side will n ot cut the column size down to a certain limit
[14:10] <puddle> EriC^^, and split cuts the file via its size, i need it to be cut based on rows
[14:11] <noc_> puddle, echo a b c | awk '{print $2 " " $1}'
[14:11] <MacroMan> Can I give a user permission to restart a specific service without sudo?
[14:11] <EriC^^> puddle: man split and man paste
[14:12] <MacroMan> I want to be able to reload Asterisk from an interface that doesn't require the sudo password
[14:12] <EriC^^> puddle: split -l for number of lines
[14:13] <hateball> puddle: sed can be used to cut rows as well
[14:13] <puddle> ty guys gona check them out
[14:13] <MrOpenSource> does someone has a program where i can easy encrypt /home or even hard drive
[14:14] <cfhowlett> MrOpenSource,            /msg ubottu encryption
[14:15] <noc_> puddle, or csvtool http://colin.maudry.com/csvtool-manual-page/
[14:15] <hateball> puddle: "cat -n myfile.text|sed -n '1,100p'" will only show rows 1 to 100
[14:15] <hateball> and so on. there are many tools
[14:19] <puddle> hateball, my issue is that i need this to work for a lot of different yfiletypes (csv, xlsx, tsv, sav...)
[14:22] <hateball> puddle: well xlsx is xml so you'd want something that can parse that then
[14:22] <Wulf> Hello. Is there any console program that creates a new user and asks for all information including the username?
[14:23] <cfhowlett> Wulf, program?  no.  command?  yes.
[14:23] <Wulf> cfhowlett: ok, which?
[14:23] <cfhowlett> Wulf, adduser
[14:23] <Wulf> cfhowlett: doesn't ask for the username
[14:24] <cfhowlett> Wulf, sudo adduser         will absolutely wait for you to assign a user name
[14:25] <Wulf> cfhowlett: adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[14:25] <noc_> puddle, localc --convert-to
[14:25] <ducasse> Wulf: write a wrapper script
[14:25] <geirha> Wulf: read -ep 'Username: ' user && sudo adduser "$user"
[14:26] <FManTropyx> commands are programs :P
[14:27] <hateball> puddle: there's also a "loffice --cat file.whatever" switch these days, dunno how well it works for a complex spreadsheet tho
[14:27] <Wulf> alright :)
[14:28] <Ntemis> guys am on mate official and again caja freeze on me
[14:28] <Ntemis> cant kill it either
[14:31] <Ntemis> xkill doesnt kill either
[14:38] <yigit2_> hi
[14:39] <RxMcDonald> Hi why is ubuntu broke my computer? pls repair
[14:39] <RxMcDonald> help me ubuntu broke my computer very hard
[14:39] <yigit2_> 1 minutes relax
[14:40] <OerHeks> RxMcDonald, so what happened? dtails?
[14:40] <RxMcDonald> no i cant relax my computer got broked by ubuntu
[14:40] <RxMcDonald> i put ubuntu inside my computer and now its broked
[14:41] <yigit2_> ow
[14:41] <ducasse> RxMcDonald: nobody will be able to help you if you don't provide details
[14:42] <RxMcDonald> i bought a new computer and then put ubuntu inside and then it broked the computer and now you need to fix it
[14:43] <lotuspsychje> lol
[14:43] <yigit2_> Wine installation on your computer
[14:43] <ducasse> RxMcDonald: we can help _you_ fix it, that's how this works
[14:43] <raub> RxMcDonald: You sound like someone taking a car to a shop and saying it is broken withotu bothering to describe what happened
[14:43] <OerHeks> RxMcDonald, no we don't, we can try tohelp YOU fix it.
[14:44] <RxMcDonald> i put ubuntu computer disc inside the computer and now its broked
[14:44] <klab> it doesn't get any more ubuntu than this folks
[14:44] <raub> Talking about bad things, how to open a .accdb file in ubuntu?
[14:44] <ducasse> RxMcDonald: and "it's broken" gives us nothing to work with, we need to know _what_ doesn't work to help you
[14:45] <raub> RxMcDonald: then take the disk out of the computer.
[14:45] <RxMcDonald> the computer doesnt work
[14:45] <RxMcDonald> the computer got broked by ubuntu give me my money back
[14:45] <ducasse> RxMcDonald: troll somewhere else
[14:45] <ash_workz> should I be root when setting up/configuring an application (in this case docker) or should I be using `sudo` for like... everything
[14:46] <RxMcDonald> i took the ubuntu disc outside the computer but it keeps saying ubuntu
[14:46] <hateball> !root | ash_workz
[14:46] <ash_workz> hateball: I mean `sudo su - root`
[14:46] <RxMcDonald> ducasse: what is troll?
[14:46] <hateball> ash_workz: Yeah, so read that link and decide for yourself
[14:47] <raub> ash_workz: that is a religious issue IMHO. Using sudo helps keep track of which user did what instead of having a bunch of people using the same account
[14:47] <lotuspsychje> RxMcDonald: it means not providing information about your problem and keep saying 'broken'
[14:47] <klab> RxMcDonald: did you try pressing Esc?
[14:47] <ash_workz> raub: that concept was actually why I asked
[14:47] <raub> RxMcDonald: you are eligible to get $0 back since that is how much ubuntu costs
[14:48] <RxMcDonald> but it broked my computer so now i cant compute
[14:49] <noc_> ash_workz, sudo will keep HOME and most environment variables from the unprivileged user, while su - will reset them. Generally irrelevant but in some corner cases may be worth to know
[14:50] <ash_workz> heh, #5 under "Benefits of Sudo" says: "On a server, every cracker trying to brute-force..." -- I interpreted it at first as a slur.
[14:54] <RxMcDonald> any computer nerdist wants to unbroked my computer system
[14:54] <MrOpenSource> depends
[14:55] <RxMcDonald> no
[14:55] <sruli> if i login from terminal as user "su -l user" it mounts home ecryptfs dir, however after logging out, on next login it does not mount it, i have to reboot each time i want to login to that users home dir, is there any argument i can cal "su -l" with to mount it?
[14:57] <k1l_> !ask | RxMcDonald
[14:58] <RxMcDonald> my computer system got broked when ubuntu got inside of it and now it does not compute, it can not compute I repeat, it can not compute after ubuntu got in the system.
[14:58] <MrOpenSource> what
[14:59] <OerHeks> RxMcDonald, this is running around in circles, if you don't provide info what is going wrong, nobody can help
[14:59] <sruli> RxMcDonald: you might want to try ubuntu support channel in your native language
[14:59] <k1l_> RxMcDonald: that doesnt make sense. either you give a real support issue or you stop trolling in here
[15:00] <pragmatist1> Hello, I made a fresh linux install on a new Dell XPS 15. I have compiled and attempting to run a private github project that I've used  before on my previous laptop. However, whenever I run the executable my whole system freezes immediately and I have to do a hard reboot. Where can I look to try and get to the bottom of the issue? Thanks!
[15:00] <ash_workz> RxMcDonald: the community is not here to just fix your problems on a whim. This is not a corporate department or branch where people get paid to offer support. Ubuntu is offered for free at no guarantee and the people in this chat generously donate their time to help spread information and foster a mentality of open source.
[15:02] <ash_workz> RxMcDonald: if you really want help, start by explaining exactly what happened (use Google translate if you can't articulate yourself maybe -- I kinda think there might be a channel in your language, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). Otherwise someone might ping a mod to kick you.
[15:03] <adrian_1908> pragmatist1: does it involve graphics?
[15:03] <ash_workz> s/a (mentality) of (open source)/an \1 \2/
[15:04] <ash_workz> anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of that
[15:04] <pragmatist1> adrian_1908, nope
[15:06] <ducasse> pragmatist1: which ubuntu version?
[15:06] <adrian_1908> pragmatist1: hmm, that would have been my only guess since graphics drivers is the most flaky part. Everything else runs fine as usual, yes?
[15:06] <pragmatist1> latest LTS
[15:06] <pragmatist1> yea, I installed nvidia drivers from a ppa
[15:06] <jnewt> i am having issues with starting applications over remote connections (xrdp, vnc, x2go).  mostly segmentation fault (core dumped).  i think it is a graphics issue.  using nvidia m2000 graphics card with nvidia driver version 378.09
[15:06] <pragmatist1> intel-microcode
[15:06] <pragmatist1> I did not test the application before i did those things
[15:06] <pragmatist1> but it tried before and after intel microcode
[15:06] <jnewt> chrome also complains about wanting GLX 1.3 or later
[15:06] <pragmatist1> no difference
[15:07] <pragmatist1> immediate freeze
[15:08] <adrian_1908> sorry, no idea man. I hope you find someone who can help.
[15:08] <ducasse> pragmatist1: iirc dell has/had a ppa to support some of their hardware, maybe you need that.
[15:08] <pragmatist1> oh okay let me check then
[15:08] <ducasse> pragmatist1: also you could try to run strace on the binary, see if you can get some clue
[15:11] <pragmatist1> thanks, I'll give that a shot too
[15:11] <ducasse> pragmatist1: something like 'strace -o logfile programname' will save the output to 'logfile', but of course it might freeze before it syncs to disk...
[15:12] <computer2000> Hey how can I have two monitors used as one, big desktop? So fullscreen apps open in both monitors as if it was one?
[15:14] <gde33> is synergy still the popular choice for mouse/keyboard sharing?
[15:15] <gde33> or is there something foss that works well between windos/ubuntu?
[15:16] <gde33> computer2000: fun idea, I forgot all about that. I suppose you have to manually resize the window
[15:17] <computer2000> gde33: that's no option as the window starts in fullscreen and has no window bar etc.
[15:19] <adrian_1908> If I want to run a shell script on startup, what's the canonical way of doing this on Ubuntu? Do I add a symlink to one of the /etc/rc* folders? I do not want service-like behavior, as this is a simple run-once command.
[15:19] <ducasse> computer2000: i _think_ you can do that with xinerama, but that is something i've never really played with
[15:19] <computer2000> ducasse: yes I've heard about it
[15:19] <computer2000> any more info?
[15:20] <adrian_1908> p.s. It needs to run as root, and as early as feasible (firewall commands).
[15:20] <gde33> computer2000: maybe this helps? http://askubuntu.com/questions/73573/how-to-maximise-a-window-across-two-monitors
[15:21] <ducasse> computer2000: aiui, xrandr will treat each output as separate, maybe this gets you started: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Multihead#Xinerama
[15:21] <computer2000> thanks guys
[15:22] <ducasse> adrian_1908: on 16.04 you can create a systemd unit and set it to trigger right after networking is configured
[15:22] <jnewt> why does chrome give an error about needing GLX 1.3 or later when glxinfo show version 1.4
[15:23] <adrian_1908> ducasse: I see, i'll look into that.
[15:23] <ducasse> adrian_1908: easy hack - put a call in /etc/rc.local
[15:26] <ash_workz> if I frequently run into out-of-memory issues when upgrading packages, I would remiss to try and upgrade ubuntu, right?
[15:26] <ash_workz> I allotted far too little to my /boot partition when I chose secure boot when first installing
[15:26] <ash_workz> thus, it would probably be a bad idea to attempt a full distro upgrade right?
[15:27] <Zewwy> I noticed when installing Ubuntu it sasy (as superuser) and at the end of the wizard it asked to specify a username, but there was no option to check that says this is not the root password
[15:27] <Zewwy> is the username account at the end of the wizard the root account?
[15:27] <ash_workz> Zewwy: no
[15:27] <Zewwy> then whats teh root password?
[15:27] <ash_workz> !root|zewwy
[15:27] <ducasse> ash_workz: as long as you clean out old kernels first, you should be fine if there is enough space in /var. the upgrader also checks this first.
[15:27] <OerHeks> 1st user has root priv.
[15:27] <ash_workz> Zewwy: ^
[15:28] <Zewwy> so they try to implement pure governence by forcing sudo use
[15:28] <k1l_> Zewwy: using sudo is the basis for ubuntu.
[15:28] <Zewwy> interesting...
[15:28] <ash_workz> Zewwy: see why at that link
[15:29] <egonsen> hi! i am using dual boot: windows 10 and ubuntu 16.10. under windows, the tool "hwmonitor" from cpuid says that my cpu cores have temperatures from 35°C to max. 40°C (most of the time they are at 35°C). under ubuntu, the command "sensors" says that they are at 48°C and 53°C almost all the time, never going under that temperatures. this results in the fan going very fast froom time
[15:29] <egonsen> to time, which is very annoying
[15:29] <k1l_> Zewwy: even windows did change from running all the time and everything as admin/root. this concept does have advantages
[15:29] <egonsen> what can i do to solve this?
[15:30] <ducasse> Zewwy: ubuntu doesn't 'force' you to do anything, the root account if there if you absolutely insist on using it.
[15:32] <lotuspsychje> egonsen: does your bios/uefi let you tune the fans?
[15:32] <egonsen> lotuspsychje, i don't think so. how would that help?
[15:33] <k1l_> egonsen: first make sure the bios is the latest version. because best is when the bios does the fan control.
[15:33] <lotuspsychje> egonsen: i think ubuntu controls the fans/cpu another way then windows
[15:34] <k1l_> egonsen: then look at what drivers do you use. some processes use the cpu if the gpu doesnt support it.
[15:35] <egonsen> could it also be that sensors is reading the wrong temperatur? 15°C seems a very high difference to me
[15:36] <k1l_> could be they are using different sensors. like motherboard vs cpu or such. but 15° are possible with different cpu usage.
[15:36] <OerHeks> could well be windows reports lower temp
[15:36] <Ntemis> can someone help me out
[15:36] <Ntemis> caja is crashing on me
[15:37] <Ntemis> constantly
[15:37] <k1l_> crashing caja? there were some people last days mentioning this
[15:37] <Ntemis> yeah
[15:37] <Ntemis> right now mate is a pita
[15:37] <Ntemis> cant work like this
[15:38] <OerHeks> Ntemis, did you try to remove ~/.config/caja  and start again?
[15:38] <Ntemis> i must let you see my logs
[15:38] <k1l_> Ntemis: maybe the guys in #ubuntu-mate do know better about that issue
[15:39] <egonsen> so where should i start to find out why under ubuntu the temperatures are so high? would it be a good start to disable the graphical interface and just boot into the tty? shouldn't the cpu be much cooler there?
[15:43] <MrOpenSource> I installed GParted on my ubuntu machine, Now I see that i have once 151gb unllocated sapce and 92.5gb unllocated space, is it possible to merge both
[15:43] <ash_workz> ducasse: if I have *-4.4.0-{57,59,62} I can get rid of all *-4.4.0-57-generic files right? (ie: abi, config, initrd.img, System.map, vmlinuz)
[15:44] <ducasse> ash_workz: purge the -57 packages, don't delete the files manually
[15:44] <k1l_> MrOpenSource: can you show a screenshot of gparted on imgur.com and link it here?
[15:44] <MrOpenSource> yes once sec
[15:45] <Ntemis> k1l_: https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/380#issuecomment-277655667
[15:45] <ash_workz> ducasse: apt-get purge {abi,config,initrd.img,System.map,vmlinuz}-4.4.0-57-generic ?
[15:45] <ash_workz> ^ would be the command?
[15:45] <k1l_> Ntemis: so you are using mint?
[15:46] <MrOpenSource> k1l_: http://imgur.com/a/IHOjM
[15:46] <k1l_> Ntemis: ah no, found your entries now
[15:48] <k1l_> MrOpenSource: you can boot a ubuntu usb and then move the partitions sda2 and sda3 to the front of the disk, so all the unallocated space is at the end and merged
[15:48] <ducasse> ash_workz: 'dpkg -l linux* | grep 4.4.0-57 | awk '{print $2}''  gives you a list
[15:49] <MrOpenSource> okey thank you, I will do this
[15:49] <ducasse> ash_workz: either pipe that to dpkg -P or copy/paste
[15:49] <inerkick> Hi.. I updated my Ubuntu 14.04 to 16 LTS
[15:50] <inerkick> But it's not updated properly. Getting this error "Reading package lists... Done
[15:50] <inerkick> N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension. And all the fonts are scattered
[15:51] <ash_workz> weird, piping failed, said "requires at least 1 arg" (even though the command does indeed display the list like you said)
[15:51] <Herbalist> i think old means it can be ignored and/or thrown away ..

[15:52] <EmberCrest> So I unsafely removed my LUKS WD Passport a second ago, and now I can't access it when I plug it back in.
[15:52] <k1l_> inerkick: that mentioned file can be deleted
[15:52] <inerkick> ok

[15:55] <rohit_> hey everyone im new to irc and xchat give me basic tips to learn
[15:55] <k1l_> inerkick: close that program
[15:55] <inerkick> I did
[15:56] <OerHeks> inerkick, you wrote that you upgraded to 16.04 .. but i see 'partial upgrade'  in that pic, run that first
[15:56] <inerkick> I did it
[15:56] <inerkick> and still not working OerHeks
[15:56] <Kite03> okay I understood
[15:56] <ash_workz> k, upgrading
[15:56] <inerkick> and all the fonts looks broken
[15:56] <ash_workz> :: crosses fingers ::
[15:57] <k1l> then please run "sudo apt udpate && sudo apt full-upgrade" and show the output again on pastebin
[15:57] <k1l> inerkick: please put a "uname -a" and a "lsb_release -sd" in here
[15:58] <ash_workz> [15:58] <ash_workz> >.<
[15:58] <inerkick> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23948398/
[15:59] <inerkick> that's the result
[15:59] <ash_workz> Not enough free disk space
[15:59] <ash_workz> maybe that was var
[15:59] <ash_workz> but /var isn't part of the boot partition so, the space there shouldn't matter
[16:00] <ash_workz> I would guess that /boot is still too small
[16:01] <ash_workz> df -h all show fairly good numbers imo
[16:01] <lotuspsychje> ash_workz: try bleachbit and clean system
[16:02] <ash_workz> hmm... I guess 'resurrect window' means 'try it again'
[16:02] <Rapture> hoping someone can help with my env variable not being set properly for non-interactive window. I have .profile -> /home/ubuntu/.bashrc but I get this when I try it: http://pastebin.com/raw/xVnhcSm3
[16:02] <ash_workz> well that sucked
[16:03] <Rapture> checked echo $0 for interactive and non-interactive. Both return -bash
[16:03] <ducasse> ash_workz: how much free space on /boot?
[16:03] <ash_workz> 107M
[16:05] <lotuspsychje> !info bleachbit | ash_workz
[16:05] <ducasse> ash_workz: iirc it wants more than that
[16:05] <ash_workz> ducasse: well the size is only 237M
[16:06] <MrOpenSource> k1l_: so boot ubuntu live i have to put bootable ubuntu iso on usb stick right
[16:06]  * ash_workz continues to rue secure boot
[16:06] <ducasse> ash_workz: i had the same problem on my old laptop install, think i could keep only one kernel while upgrading
[16:06] <ducasse> ash_workz: secure boot has no impact here
[16:06] <ash_workz> ducasse: awesome. that makes me feel real comfortable :(
[16:07] <lotuspsychje> !usb | MrOpenSource
[16:07] <ducasse> ash_workz: not a huge issue, just keep a kernel you've tested and confirmed works.
[16:08] <ducasse> ash_workz: you won't be using them after the upgrade anyway
[16:08] <ash_workz> ducasse: how do I show the current kernel in use?
[16:08] <ducasse> ash_workz: uname -r
[16:10] <yocs0000> anyone using simon voice recognition on ubuntu? how did you set it up to dictate?

[16:11] <ash_workz> ducasse: thanks
[16:13] <k1l> inerkick: <k1l> then please run "sudo apt udpate && sudo apt full-upgrade" and show the output again on pastebin
[16:13] <ducasse> ash_workz: np
[16:14] <k1l> MrOpenSource: you have to make a live ubuntu yes.
[16:15] <inerkick> I'm getting "E: Invalid operation udpate

[16:16] <inerkick> yes
[16:25] <jimsio> I have x='--foo --faa --fii' and /bin/sh -c 'echo '$x - output is just --foo - how to fix that?
[16:30] <raub> If I have a bootable usb on /dev/sdb mounted as /dev/sdb1, shouldn't "dd if=/dev/sdb of=file.iso" suffices to create a bootable iso?
[16:32] <nacc> raub: I think you are mixing up your terminology. You don't mount a disk "as" a partition.
[16:33] <raub> nacc: that partition was automounted when drive was inserted
[16:34] <raub> nacc: question is whether I dd the entire device or just a partition
[16:34] <nacc> raub: how did you create the USB?
[16:34] <pavlos> jimsio, x="--foo --fii" ; /bin/sh -c "echo $x" fives me foo and fii
[16:35] <raub> nacc: I did not create it; just trying to copy it
[16:37] <nacc> raub: it probably depends then (aiui)
[16:40] <ducasse> raub: if the usb is a block-by-block copy of the iso then yes, of not then no.
[16:40] <nacc> raub: what ducasse said :)
[16:41] <jimsio> pavlos: thank you - forgot the difference ' vs " for a moment

[16:57] <adrian_1908> Is there any point in using a firewall on a home network that sits behind a router with NAT?
[16:59] <sruli> ducasse: was really hoping for a 1 line command to connec tto my pc when i am out of the office
[17:01] <pybe> sruli: just make a script that runs both commands
[17:01] <sruli> pybe: both commands? which 2?
[17:01] <ppf> adrian_1908: a NAT is not a firewall
[17:02] <ducasse> sruli: did you read the page?
[17:02] <pybe> sruil: tunnel command and then vnc
[17:02] <adrian_1908> ppf: but it only lets responses through that are related to outgoing requests, right? I think a software firewall is no smarter.
[17:02] <ppf> adrian_1908: no
[17:03] <kremlon> it sure does
[17:03] <sruli> ducasse: pybe: i thing i got it, will try now
[17:03] <kremlon> dont do that
[17:03] <ppf> kremlon: no it doesn't. can't
[17:03] <kremlon> i told you that
[17:03] <pybe> sruli: its all in the page ducasse sent you
[17:04] <kremlon> watch what you say
[17:04] <ppf> an outgoing packet opens a port into your direction on the NAT. returning packets can use that port then.
[17:04] <kremlon> good work
[17:04] <sruli> pybe: as i said.. i was hoping to be able to achive it in 1 easy to remember command
[17:04] <kremlon> do you remember your command
[17:05] <ppf> some routers also look at the packets to identify TCP connections, but that's not necessary
[17:05] <kremlon> which connection?
[17:05] <pybe> sruli: the easy to remember command is the executable scripts name, you never have to type the contents after the 1st time.

[17:06] <nacc> !ops | please kick kremlon
[17:07] <ducasse> adrian_1908: there is if you're using ipv6, for example
[17:07] <ppf> adrian_1908: yes, the router doesn't verify that incoming packets are packets you expect
[17:07] <mirko_> ciao a tutti
[17:07] <adrian_1908> ppf: ok, I think I get that, but a basic software firewall isn't any smarter if it queries for "related,established" connections, is it?
[17:07] <noc_> !it | mirko_
[17:08] <sruli> pybe: i login from random machines.. dont want to leave my scripts on all machines i visit!
[17:08] <pybe> sruli: use a thumb drive then
[17:09] <adrian_1908> ppf: My router forwards one port, and I do the same in my firewall. It felt like a duplication of efforts when I set that up.
[17:09] <ppf> adrian_1908: that depends on the configuration obviously. anyways, detecting established or related packets/connections is not something a NAT is doing necessarily
[17:09] <ppf> some routers do that, but not all
[17:09] <ppf> just set up a firewall, it'll make you more safe :)

[17:15] <pybe> sru: use a semi colon. now its a one liner

[17:19] <magiq> how to make tmux work with colors? For example default ubuntu terminal show user with green color
[17:19] <magiq> I want tmux works same
[17:20] <ducasse> TBotNik: then instead of posting links to long threads post your question as clearly as possible, then calmly wait for an answer. if nobody answers in ~15 minutes, repeat it.
[17:21] <silva> hi,  I have this problem a program needed this package libsasl2.so.2 so in otder to get it I did this "ln -s /usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.3 /usr/lib64/libsasl2.so.2" but I don't know why the /lib64/libsasl2.so.3 got empty. Tried to install the package again but didn't worked
[17:21] <ducasse> magiq: set TERM properly, i'd guess.
[17:21] <DArqueBishop> TBotNik: it didn't look like they were making the wrong assumptions to me. The first person to reply made a valid point: unless you're using LVM, there's no way to seamlessly add the 3 TB drive to the root filesystem; your best bet is to mount it somewhere like /home or whereever you need the space to reside.
[17:22] <OerHeks> TBotNik, mysql upgrade ? how did you upgrade the trusty version?
[17:24] <noc_> silva, try package libsasl2-2
[17:26] <pybe> TBotNik: move whatever files you need moved to the new drive and then mount it where ever you want to.
[17:26] <compdoc> why not just mount the drive in a directory you create in the root, like /threeTB , or whatever?
[17:27] <compdoc> doesnt have to be hidden in /mnt
[17:28] <TBotNik> DArqueBishop: The wrong assumptions are, if you read further, they assumed I did not have it mounted.  Been mounted since I installed it.  Not the issue!  Issue is the  seamless addition to the primary filesystem, which we used to do all the time, just forgot how.  Now that the dpkg error from the MySQL 5.7 upgrade has created "disk full" conditions and can no longer login, think this is critical, but if I can at least recover to login then can address
[17:28] <TBotNik> everything else later!
[17:29] <pybe> TBotNik: du -sh /* to see where all the space is being used
[17:30] <DArqueBishop> "Issue is the  seamless addition to the primary filesystem, which we used to do all the time, just forgot how."
[17:30] <silva> noc_: I tried to install rpm -Uvh cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-20.el7_2.src.rpm
[17:30] <DArqueBishop> I think you'll find we already addressed that.
[17:31] <noc_> silva, ''apt-cache search cyrus'', packages.ubuntu.com/cyrus and don't use rpm
[17:32] <ChadTaljaardt> Hey :)

[17:37] <[jasper]> hej guys
[17:38] <[jasper]> I'm trying to add a 2nd monitor to my laptop. My laptop resolution is way higher then monitor resolution which has 1920*1200
[17:38] <[jasper]> when I enable the 2nd monitor the edges off the screen won't display
[17:38] <[jasper]> and windows that I maximize go offscreen
[17:38] <[jasper]> any way i can fix this?
[17:40] <jnewt> is there an issue with the drivers for nvidia quadro cards?  i've tried the nvidia 367.57, 370.28, 378.09.  all of them seem to have issues when i'm xrdp/vnc/x2go into the machine.  I can't seem to find much tying this to graphics.  I get errors when trying to start firefox (seg fault), chrome (glx, gpu process), nvidia-settings (seg fault), time-admin (seg fault) just to name a few.
[17:41] <compdoc> jnewt, what desktop do you use?
[17:41] <jnewt> mate
[17:41] <compdoc> mate is great for xrdp/vnc/x2go. thats what i use
[17:41] <pavlos> [jasper], in Display settings, you should be able to change resolution of the added monitor and possibly refresh rate
[17:42] <jnewt> compdoc: ok, so is my issue the graphics card / driver?
[17:42] <compdoc> tried it with the default ubuntu video drivers?
[17:42] <compdoc> does sound that way
[17:43] <jnewt> compdoc: that nouveau thing?
[17:43] <[jasper]> pavlos,  I set the right resolution
[17:43] <compdoc> hmm, sorry, I never install propritary video drivers, so not sure what theyre called
[17:43] <[jasper]> but stuff just goes of the screen
[17:44] <pavlos> [jasper], try a lower res on the added monitor, see if that helps
[17:44] <jnewt> compdoc: out of the box, the selected driver on my ubuntu-mate installation was called nouveau (sp?).  it required me to use only a single monitor oro it wouldn't boot.  switching to the nvidia driver fixed that issue.
[17:45] <jnewt> i still have to remove additional monitors if i want to boot my live-usb because it uses that driver.
[17:47] <jnewt> i posted on askubuntu, thinking about posting in the ubuntu-mate community.  anything else i can do to find an answer to this?

[17:49] <Zewwy> I attempted to follow a nice guid on setting up PWM
[17:49] <Zewwy> on the last step.. it failed stating I didn't have permission, even though I did sudo
[17:50] <Zewwy> odd part was, it wouldn't work no matter what I did, until I did sudo su - and then ran the commands as direct root
[17:50] <Zewwy> why would this be the case?
[17:50] <compdoc> jnewt, theres some minor problems with x2go that i fixed by installing a newer, beta nx libraries for Mate to fix a problem with the xrandr version. theres an url that shows you how. also, there's a problem with the notification daemon that causes non-fatal crashes, that you can fix
[17:50] <Zewwy> "The next step is to grant permissions to the Tomcat user/group:"
[17:51] <Zewwy> "sudo chmod g+r conf/*"
[17:51] <Zewwy> This failed, until I ran as driect root
[17:52] <Zewwy> I'll document the oddity, but I'd really like to know why that happened
[17:52] <jnewt> compdoc: I can't tell if the issues you describe are the same as the one's i'm having.  were you seeing segmentation faults and glx / gpu process errors?
[17:54] <compdoc> jnewt, they were minor crashes of some background programs, but could be ignored I think.

[18:13] <OerHeks> guardian, if you *need* a newer kernel, use the mainline ppa
[18:13] <OerHeks> !mainline
[18:13] <OerHeks> but then you are on your own
[18:14] <nacc> guardian: why do you need the upstream kernel?
[18:14] <guardian> so in terminal wht command shld I run?
[18:14] <guardian> I reported a bug and the devloper asked to install the upstram kernal
[18:14] <ducasse> !kernel | guardian see this
[18:15] <nacc> guardian: ok, read the above wiki page(s)
[18:15] <ducasse> !mainline | guardian and this
[18:16] <magiq> Can somebody help me ? I tried to add this https://github.com/seebi/tmux-colors-solarized and there is my ~/.tmux.conf http://pastebin.com/YcLx9NhZ
[18:17] <magiq> still default red background like in standart terminal
[18:17] <guardian> ok, the devlp provided me with this link... and kernal.ubuntu.com/~kernal-ppa/mainline/v4.10-rc7
[18:17] <ducasse> magiq: did you restart tmux?
[18:17] <magiq> ducasse: sure
[18:17] <magiq> and I prefix + I
[18:17] <magiq> it wrote that it already installed
[18:17] <magiq> sorry for my English
[18:17] <ducasse> magiq: what is your TERM inside tmux?
[18:18] <magiq> ducasse: what do you mean ?
[18:18] <magiq> what is term ?
[18:18] <ducasse> magiq: 'echo $TERM'
[18:18] <magiq> ducasse: screen
[18:20] <ducasse> magiq: you'll probably need to use screen-256color
[18:23] <magiq> ducasse: added export TERM=xterm-256color and tried export TERM=screen-256color to ~/.bashrc no helps
[18:23] <magiq> ducasse: checked it in tmux echo $TERM it's ok but background still red
[18:23] <magiq> no changes for colors
[18:27] <ducasse> magiq: i don't know how that tpm thingy works, look at this - https://github.com/seebi/tmux-colors-solarized
[18:28] <twig11> I am getting an error when I run "apt update" and my online searches have not turned up anything very enlightening. Here's the output with the error: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949110/. What's a good first step to troubleshoot this error?
[18:30] <ducasse> twig11: never seen that error befor, but that is a *horrible* list of ppas!
[18:30] <heari> why this is horrible?
[18:30] <guardian> ducasse : I installed the upstream after downloading those 5 packages from the link. So should I be redirected to a new screen on next boot ?
[18:30] <ducasse> heari: are you joking?
[18:31] <heari> no
[18:31] <heari> I m serious
[18:31] <heari> Is there funny things?
[18:31] <ducasse> heari: running that many ppas and not expecting problems is... slightly optimistic.
[18:31] <twig11> ducasse: Yeah, I know.
[18:31] <mcphail> twig11: you are so far away from Ubuntu it is hard to offer support
[18:32] <ChadTaljaardt> Hello
[18:32] <ChadTaljaardt> :)
[18:32] <ducasse> twig11: if i were you, i'd start by purging them and hope i could get back to a sane system.
[18:33] <twig11> mcphail: you're right, I forgot that those gnome3 ppas probably mean I'm not really running stock.
[18:33] <twig11> Or close enough to get help in here.
[18:33] <guardian> can someone help me plz
[18:34] <nedstark> the distro divas are in for a big shock when snap packages become the norm
[18:34] <twig11> ducasse: It's a new error, though, it didn't pop up after adding a new ppa. No advice then on where to look to troubleshoot that error on my own?
[18:35] <ioria> twig11, only wild guess like :   sudo apt-get install --reinstall aptdaemon
[18:36] <ducasse> twig11: if google doesn't turn anything up you could try searching launchpad, but... sorry, it's an error i've never seen before, don't know where the problem might be.
[18:38] <twig11> ducasse: okay thanks.
[18:40] <twig11> ioria: thanks, tried that but no luck. It seems to be a generic error from what I found, so I was hoping somebody in here might be able to point me in the direction of the likely cause. If not, maybe I'll try purging some ppas and hoping for the best.
[18:41] <ducasse> twig11: if 'fresh' software is so important to you, lts is probably a bad choice.
[18:43] <nedstark> twig11: i'd drop the ppa's, starting with budgie with isn't stable on ubuntu yet, and purge those packages
[18:43] <twig11> ducasse: I like running the latest versions of Gnome, but I'm on a slow connection and upgrading the whole OS every six months is a pain. Some of the other ppas could probably go, though.
[18:44] <obr7> Re. Does a Vixie Cronjob git repo exist (Ubuntu 14.04) and where can I find it?
[18:44] <nacc> obr7: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[18:44] <ikonia> what is the question
[18:44] <ikonia> a cronjob git repo ?
[18:44] <nedstark> budgie-remix is beta quality at best
[18:44] <ioria> twig11,  nothing in syslog or in ~/.xsession-errors
[18:45] <Auprivave> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[18:45] <ikonia> Auprivave: the socket file probably isn't there
[18:46] <ikonia> Auprivave: or has the wrong permissions on it
[18:46] <compdoc> Auprivave, might mean mysql isnt running
[18:46] <Auprivave> anyone encountered this error? im on a fairly fresh 16.04 install, and I did a simple install of server and client.
[18:46] <ikonia> Auprivave: if the socket files not there, it's probably because you've not started the mysql server
[18:46] <Auprivave> aah... mysql run?
[18:46] <ikonia> mysql run ?
[18:47] <compdoc> Auprivave, if you recently updated mysql, you might need to fix the my.cnf file location
[18:47] <wigums> watch dick run. run, dick, run.
[18:47] <Auprivave> :D
[18:48] <Auprivave> compdoc, my.cnf. thanks. that gave me a lead.
[18:48] <twig11> ioria: This is what I get in syslog when I run apt update: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949301/
[18:49] <compdoc> Auprivave, with the recent update, the location of files in /etc/mysql has changed a little
[18:49] <twig11> I think it's my problem, but I don't think I have the expertise to make sense of it.
[18:50] <ioria> twig11,  similar to this old post http://askubuntu.com/questions/476946/resetting-update-manager
[18:51] <Auprivave> compdoc, thanks :) okay. I guess i need to get that file to its correct location. So its because of an update. That makes sense, becuase I remember installing mysql last years on 16.04, and it went smooth.
[18:51] <ikonia> Auprivave: no
[18:52] <ikonia> Auprivave: you need to look if the file is there - (it says the location in the error)
[18:52] <nedstark> things usually start working pretty well around .3 or .4
[18:52] <ikonia> if it's not there it's most likley because mysql server is not running
[18:52] <ioria> twig11,  and this bug-report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/613715
[18:52] <ikonia> if mysql server IS running, then you have a bigger problem as that error message tells you where it's looking for the file
[18:53] <MannyLNJ-> Question; I am using version  4.3.36 of Virtual box. I know there is a newer version but apt-get update and apt-get upgrade doesn't install it. I'm on 14.04 of Ubuntu
[18:53] <Lucretia> hi, i'm trying to get my email server configured. dovecot is failing due to no BLF-CRYPT installed.
[18:53] <Lucretia> it's 16.10
[18:53] <ikonia> MannyLNJ-: why do you want a newer version
[18:54] <ikonia> Lucretia: change the encyption ciphers in the dovecot config
[18:54] <nacc> !info virtualbox trusty | MannyLNJ-
[18:54] <nacc> MannyLNJ-: 4.3.36 seems to be correct for 14.04
[18:54] <nacc> !latest | MannyLNJ-: perhaps you need to read this...
[18:54] <nacc> MannyLNJ-: and that particularly applies to older releases, of course.
[18:55] <twig11> ioria: yes, that looks similar, but the fix didn't work for me. This is the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949333/
[18:56] <MannyLNJ-> Thank you everyone
[18:56] <twig11> The references to pithos are showing up since the uninstall of the pithos app failed, which appears to be related to the same problem.
[18:57] <Lucretia> ikonia: doveadm pw -l doesn't list it
[18:57] <ioria> twig11,  pithos = something python related ?
[18:58] <ikonia> Lucretia: what ?
[18:58] <Lucretia> BLF-CRYPT
[18:58] <ikonia> Lucretia: what about it ?
[18:59] <Lucretia> ikonia: doveadm pw -l doesn't list it
[18:59] <ioria> twig11,  this https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/pithos   ?
[18:59] <ikonia> Lucretia: right, what did I tell you to do ?
[19:00] <ioria> twig11,  oh, it's also in the repo btw
[19:00] <ioria> twig11,  how did you install it ?
[19:00] <ducasse> twig11: try 'sudo dpkg -P --force-all pithos' to force-remove it, then try 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[19:02] <twig11> ioria: yes. Pithos seems to depend in some way on whatever python problem is behind the error. It refused to start this morning and when I attempted to remove it through Gnome Software and then from the terminal, it just threw all these errors and refused to fully uninstall or reinstall. Pretty sure it's related, but I'm not sure how.
[19:02] <ioria> twig11,  depends on how you installed it (it might have broken your python) , but i think you need to get rid of it
[19:03] <ioria> twig11,  we need to know how did you install it
[19:03] <EriC^^> that's what she said
[19:04] <ioria> twig11,  did you install it from repo or what ?
[19:06] <twig11> ioria: pretty sure I installed it from the main repo.
[19:06] <ducasse> twig11: did you see my suggestion?
[19:07] <twig11> ducasse: not until now. I'll try that.
[19:10] <ash_workz> so during my upgrade, I get a prompt that says secure boot doesn't work with 3rd party w/e and enter a key to ensure you're you, etc, etc, we'll help you disable secure boot
[19:11] <ash_workz> considering the misery it's brought me, I thought 'hell why not' but it prompted me with some 'mok management' utility with 10 seconds to decide what to do and I didn't even know what MOK was (still don't really). Then it asked to decrypt the disk, so I put in the normal password for that... but alas, I was not walked through anything disabling secure boot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[19:11] <ash_workz> was I supposed to enter the key I made into the disk decrypt field?
[19:12] <OerHeks> ash_workz, virtualbox complaining? knoiwn issue
[19:12] <twig11> ducasse: your suggestion did not work. This is the output: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949417/
[19:12] <ducasse> ash_workz: the mok manager should have an option to disable shim validation
[19:12] <ash_workz> ducasse: so, I was supposed to enter the MOK manager?
[19:12] <ducasse> ash_workz: yup
[19:13] <ash_workz> awesome. :\
[19:13] <ioria> twig11,  paste  the status ;   dpkg -l | grep pithos
[19:13] <ash_workz> ducasse: will that manager appear again?
[19:13] <ash_workz> (or prompt me rather)
[19:14] <twig11> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949427/
[19:14] <ducasse> ash_workz: it will if you run 'sudo mokutil --disable-validation'. you could also just turn off secure boot in the bios, that's easier.
[19:15] <ash_workz> I see
[19:15] <ioria> twig11,  ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/ | grep pithos
[19:16] <ducasse> ash_workz: the mok-thingy doesn't actually disable secure boot, it just tells the shim not to ask the kernel to validate kernel modules.
[19:18] <twig11> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949451/
[19:18] <Zewwy> sudo systemctl enable tomcat
[19:18] <ash_workz> ducasse: duly noted
[19:18] <Zewwy> Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
[19:19] <Zewwy> what did I do wrong?
[19:20] <Zewwy> is enable deprciated?
[19:20] <Southern_Gentlem> nope
[19:20] <ioria> twig11,  sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq pithos
[19:20] <Zewwy> why did that command fail
[19:20] <Zewwy> http://www.serveradventures.com/the-adventures/installing-pwm-open-source-password-self-service-in-2016
[19:20] <Southern_Gentlem> your service name is wrong
[19:20] <ducasse> Zewwy: sure the service is called tomcat?
[19:20] <Zewwy> following this guide
[19:20] <Zewwy> yes
[19:20] <Zewwy> its running
[19:21] <Zewwy> Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/tomcat.service; bad; vendor preset: enabl
[19:21] <Southern_Gentlem> sudo systemctl status tomcat
[19:21] <Zewwy> thats how I got the above line
[19:21] <Zewwy> the guide im following states an enable line, I'm assuming this is to enable it at boot
[19:21] <Zewwy> liek chkconfig does?
[19:22] <cgtobi> Hi all, I’ve installed 16.04 on a Rpi3 and try to configure a bridge for lxd. When I set the bridge up manually (brctl add br0 etc.) it works, bridging br0 to eth0 (just as I’ve set it up on my workstation). When I try to set it up permamently in /etc/network/interfaces the network stalls at booting the system and the network never comes up. Can someone help me with that? I compared and tried several suggestions from all over the web but i
[19:22] <cgtobi> always the same.
[19:23] <Zewwy> Sounds like a neat setup
[19:23] <Zewwy> Southern_Gentlem: Am I correct in that ssumption?
[19:23] <twig11> ioria: here's the output of that command: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949472/ But hold on a sec. I think I may have a bigger problem on my hands. I've had a couple of problems with my root partition in the last couple of days. After letting fsck do it's thing on the drive, twice, it seemed to be fixed. But now I've got other apps refusing to function, which is what happened before the drive problems I had yesterday.
[19:23] <ducasse> cgtobi: pastebin the interfaces file
[19:25] <Zewwy> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20425069/problems-trying-to-enable-start-custom-target-in-systemd
[19:25] <Zewwy> is this this cause?
[19:26] <MrOpenSource> :-!
[19:27] <Zewwy> enabling ssh service worked without issue
[19:27] <Zewwy> sudo systemctl enable ssh
[19:27] <Zewwy> Synchronizing state of ssh.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install...
[19:27] <Zewwy> Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable ssh
[19:27] <ducasse> twig11: are there any indications of disk problems in dmesg?
[19:27] <Zewwy> argggg
[19:27] <Zewwy> can't stand these kinds of issues
[19:28] <ioria> twig11,  looks to me a python issue  ...
[19:29] <cgtobi> @ducasse http://pastebin.com/dYLrqcfz
[19:29] <Zewwy> I don't see a xxx.target.wants or either ssh or tomcat
[19:29] <Zewwy> but ssh worked and tomcat didn't...
[19:29] <Zewwy> i have no clue why
[19:29] <ioria> twig11,   did you try to install a python from source ?
[19:29] <Zewwy> Can anyone help me figure out how to enable my tomcat service?
[19:30] <k1l> Zewwy: sudo service tomcat start?
[19:30] <Zewwy> its started
[19:30] <Zewwy> I'm assuming the enable lines set it to start at boot
[19:30] <Zewwy> am I correct in teh assumption?!
[19:30] <twig11> ioria: here are the last few lines of dmesg output. I really don't know what I'm seeing here; does it look like I'm having a hardware problem? https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949503/
[19:31] <ioria> ducasse, ^^
[19:31] <k1l> Zewwy: you are wrong. you dont have to enable the daemons
[19:31] <blueking> I need to restart something when change firewall rules ?
[19:31] <Zewwy> Then what does the line sudo systemctl enable service do?
[19:31] <ducasse> cgtobi: you need 'auto eth0' above the other eth0 line, and iirc the eth0 stanza should be above the br0 stanza
[19:31] <Zewwy> such as sudo systemctl enable ssh
[19:31] <Zewwy> ssh was already runnign and working
[19:31] <Zewwy> so what did that line do?
[19:31] <ioria> twig11,   the output of   locate _sysconfigdata.py    how is it ?
[19:31] <OerHeks> Zewwy, i suggest to focus on you hw problem
[19:32] <k1l> Zewwy: where do you got that line from?
[19:32] <Zewwy> in the link i provided
[19:32] <Zewwy> (13:23) ( Zewwy) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20425069/problems-trying-to-enable-start-custom-target-in-systemd
[19:32] <Zewwy> oh not taht one
[19:32] <Zewwy> http://www.serveradventures.com/the-adventures/installing-pwm-open-source-password-self-service-in-2016
[19:32] <ducasse> twig11: ok, that's NOT good. pastebin 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdb' and stop worrying about other things atm.
[19:33] <cgtobi> @ducasse you mean like that? http://pastebin.com/FvufkzZW
[19:33] <Zewwy> under installing TomCat theres a line to start it
[19:33] <Zewwy> and then followed up with an enable line
[19:33] <k1l> Zewwy: is that a guide for ubuntu 16.04? are you using 16.04?
[19:33] <Zewwy> yes
[19:33] <Zewwy> I'm following it to the tee
[19:33] <ducasse> cgtobi: yes, exactly. i don't use dhcp with bridging myself, but it looks ok to me.
[19:33] <k1l> uh, a 3rd party tomcat install?
[19:34] <Zewwy> the only diff was there was no tomcat 8.5.4, it was updated to 8.5.11
[19:34] <twig11> ioria: command not found
[19:34] <cgtobi> ducasse: I’ll give it a go
[19:34] <k1l> Zewwy: then ask the one who shipps that tomcat  whats wrong with that setup
[19:34] <Zewwy> so i followed the guide to the tee, and replaced the instances of wget with 8.5.11
[19:34] <ioria> twig11,   locate  _sysconfigdata.py
[19:34] <k1l> Zewwy: ubuntu ships a a tomcat package already
[19:34] <Zewwy> that doesn't explain what that line does?
[19:34] <Zewwy> what does sudo systemctl enable do?
[19:34] <twig11> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949510/
[19:35] <Zewwy> that is a Ubuntu question
[19:35] <cgtobi> ducasse: It’s strange, because on my x86 machine it works fine that way.
[19:35] <ash_workz> what does abi mean?
[19:36] <ioria> twig11,   really don't know the first 3 ; focus on your disk for now
[19:36] <k1l> Zewwy: enable activates the unit file so it starts  automatically. but since you use 3rd party tomcat with 3rd party setups please ask them where they broke the etup
[19:36] <k1l> *setup
[19:36] <twig11> ducasse: I accidently addressed your comment to ioria. The output from the command you suggested is "command not found"
[19:36] <Zewwy> so I was correct in my assuption the whole time
[19:37] <ducasse> twig11: you need to install smartmontools, smart output can tell us more about your disk
[19:37] <ash_workz> apt-get commands keep saying: 'N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension' -- should I delete it?
[19:38] <OerHeks> ash_workz, haven't you deleted it by now? you asked the same hours ago
[19:38] <twig11> ducasse: done
[19:38] <ducasse> twig11: ok, 'sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdc'
[19:39] <ash_workz> OerHeks: what?
[19:39] <ash_workz> OerHeks: Are you sure?
[19:39] <ash_workz> OerHeks: I asked about stuff in /boot earlier
[19:39] <explodes> In Chrome, my tabs keep crashing at random times. Usually it is the same 2 tabs, but not always. There was one case where all tabs crashed and all plugins. Could this be bad ram or something else?
[19:39] <ash_workz> OerHeks: to which I was instructed to use purge
[19:39] <Southern_Gentlem> flash?
[19:40] <ducasse> ash_workz: it's safe to delete, yes
[19:40] <twig11> ducasse: it LOOKS like smartmontools installed correctly, but I'm not sure I'm reading it right because it also spits out all the python-related errors from the broken pithos install.
[19:40] <ash_workz> ducasse: I just did apt autoremove. That was maybe a poor decision before squaring away the secure boot stuff
[19:40] <ducasse> twig11: oh, what fun.
[19:41] <ioria> twig11,   dpkg -l smartmontools
[19:41] <ducasse> ash_workz: shouldn't be, even if it causes any issues recovery should be fairly simple
[19:42] <cgtobi> @ducasse no change. It hangs at boot time with ‚Found device /sys/subsystem/net/devices/br0.‘ forever.
[19:42] <fatalmojo> heyo, can anybody give me a bash one liner to count the number of characters in files in a path?
[19:42] <fatalmojo> #bashmagicpleassseee

[19:42] <fatalmojo> good idea!  Thanks!
[19:42] <OerHeks> fatalmojo, -magicplease
[19:43] <gde33> I'm trying to enable the "aditional drivers" broadcom driver but it switches it self off after trying for 20ish sec. Does this option require a network connection?
[19:43] <ducasse> cgtobi: is the interface name really eth0?
[19:43] <twig11> ioria: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949565/
[19:43] <EriC^^> fatalmojo: wc -m /path/to/files/*
[19:43] <ioria> twig11,   ok, installed
[19:43] <OerHeks> gde33, yes.
[19:44] <gde33> heh okay -.-
[19:44] <OerHeks> gde33, else use the offline-method
[19:44] <OerHeks> !offline
[19:44] <fatalmojo> EriC^^, Thanks!
[19:44] <EriC^^> fatalmojo: no problem!
[19:45] <cgtobi> @ducasse yes, that’s what ifconfig gives me. http://pastebin.com/dmVQm0GH
[19:45] <twig11> ioria: one current symptom, as of a few minutes ago, is that I can't open the gnome terminal app. I'm actually entering all these commands using a dropdown terminal that's a gnome shell extension.
[19:45] <ioria> twig11,   if smartmontools has been installed, apt works
[19:46] <gde33> OerHeks: it is on a liveusb, if the wireless doesn't work there I assume it wont work on a full install either?
[19:46] <twig11> ioria: Yes, I can see that.
[19:46] <ioria> twig11,   check the disk
[19:46] <gde33> OerHeks: dumb question I know :P but still... lol...
[19:46] <OerHeks> gde33, correct. you need cabled networking for it to happen
[19:47] <gde33> roger that!
[19:47] <gde33> thanks !
[19:47] <twig11> ioria, what's the best tool to do that. The Disks app shows the disk is okay.
[19:47] <ducasse> twig11: have you been doing that the entire time?
[19:47] <blueking> I have samba share  on mine ubuntu server.. but workgroup/ubuntu server aren't visible on my lan, tho I could connect to mine samba share as it was configured before... changes I've made  added two more nic, made those two nic into one  interface name bond0  interface that samba share was on before are disabled..  I've changed smb.conf    I need to change somewhere else too ?
[19:47] <ioria> twig11,  ducasse told you the command
[19:48] <ducasse> cgtobi: odd, this is exactly the setup i use too on x86
[19:48] <ioria> twig11,  sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdc
[19:48] <ash_workz> umm... https://gist.github.com/ash-m/6d97911b297361b7bdbf680bc5bbc352
[19:49] <cgtobi> ducasse: I never had problems with bridges before, but on the Rpi it’s a nightmare
[19:49] <maeki> hello there! how can I make a DVD functional again?
[19:49] <ioria> twig11,  about the python errors, maybe a conflicts with the snapd modules ... idk
[19:49] <ducasse> ioria: if all these commands have been entered through a gnome shell extension, the errors could come from that. that would make sense.
[19:49] <maeki> I dont know what's wrong but I'd burned iso on it, but it is still shown as blank, yet I cant use it again
[19:49] <ducasse> cgtobi: never had the pleasure ;)
[19:50] <ash_workz> anyone know why virtualbox is complaining? https://gist.github.com/ash-m/6d97911b297361b7bdbf680bc5bbc352
[19:50] <ikonia> the pi puts it interface on the usb bus
[19:50] <ikonia> the model of card doesn't work well with bridges
[19:50] <ducasse> maeki: throw it away. you can't 'unburn' a disc.
[19:50] <ikonia> (it does work)
[19:50] <ikonia> the card doesn't support all the stuff needed for stable packet details sharing (like some of the old wifi chips)
[19:51] <maeki> ducasse, I was reading of that it can be made writable again
[19:51] <ash_workz> I guess I'll try removing and reinstalling
[19:51] <jnewt> is there an issue with the drivers for nvidia quadro cards? mine is m2000.  i've tried the nvidia 367.57, 370.28, 378.09.  all of them seem to have issues when i'm xrdp/vnc/x2go into the machine.  I can't seem to find much tying this to graphics.  I get errors when trying to start firefox (seg fault), chrome (glx, gpu process), nvidia-settings (seg fault), time-admin (seg fault) just to name a few.
[19:51] <Zewwy> Ubuntu points finger at Tomcat... Tomcat devs pointing finger at Ubuntu
[19:51] <Zewwy> classic
[19:52] <ducasse> maeki: not unless it's explicitly rewriteable
[19:53] <twig11> ducasse, ioria: you sure that command should be run on /dev/sdc?
[19:53] <ioria> twig11,  was the output of your dmesg ... i guess
[19:53] <ducasse> twig11: what block devices do you have? 'lsblk'
[19:54] <JC_SoCal> hello! is there a way to disable the power saving features? I have a ubuntu system with NO gui, however after about 10 minutes the screen turns off. I also need to make sure the disk never spins down as well, but all the guides are see are for the gui
[19:54] <maeki> ducasse, thank you, they're just dvd-r
[19:54] <ikonia> Zewwy: no
[19:54] <jnewt> i upgraded through the drivers hoping to fix the issue i was having with not being able to boot with more than one monitor (which is fixed now), but the remote problems I don't know what to do, there's no more drivers left to upgrade to.
[19:54] <maeki> ciao everyone!
[19:54] <ioria> twig11,  https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949503/
[19:54] <ducasse> maeki: ok, then they're what called WORM - 'write once, read many'
[19:54] <Zewwy> ikonia: yeap
[19:54] <jnewt> it renders my machine completely unusable remotely, which I def need.
[19:54] <ikonia> Zewwy: no, not at all
[19:55] <Zewwy> (13:34) ( k1l) Zewwy: enable activates the unit file so it starts automatically. but since you use 3rd party tomcat with 3rd party setups please ask them where they broke the etup
[19:55] <twig11> ioria: OK, I didn't notice that. the drive that's been giving me problems, my main one, is /dev/sda. If /dev/sdc is throwing the errors, that's an external storage drive and isn't related to our problems here.
[19:55] <ikonia> Zewwy: where did you get the tomcat package from ?
[19:55] <ioria> twig11,  ok
[19:56] <Zewwy> http://www-us.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.4/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.4.tar.gz
[19:56] <Zewwy> sorry
[19:56] <Zewwy> 8.5.11
[19:56] <ikonia> Zewwy: so thats a tar file
[19:56] <Zewwy> yes..
[19:56] <ikonia> Zewwy: where did the system unit for that executable come from ?
[19:56] <cgtobi> ducasse: thanks anyway
[19:56] <Zewwy> http://www.serveradventures.com/the-adventures/installing-pwm-open-source-password-self-service-in-2016
[19:56] <Zewwy> I'm following this guid
[19:56] <ikonia> Zewwy: ok - so that guide is nonsense
[19:56] <Zewwy> is there a better way I'm not aware of?
[19:56] <twig11> ioria, ducasse: here's the output from /dev/sda: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949636/
[19:56] <ikonia> Zewwy: so no-one is blaming tomcat, they are saying you are following a guide that has problems
[19:57] <Zewwy> I'm def OK with understanding that, so my question would be how to I do it "propper"
[19:57] <ikonia> Zewwy: why are you not using the tomcat version from the ubuntu repos ?
[19:57] <Zewwy> I'm just following this guide, I've never setup PWM
[19:57] <Zewwy> and my linux skill are pretty rusty
[19:57] <Zewwy> I only worked with liek openSUSE 11.4 back in teh day doing basic scripting
[19:57] <ikonia> Zewwy: that guide sucks
[19:58] <Zewwy> I'm a very weak linux admin sadly
[19:58] <ikonia> Zewwy: if you just install tomcat from the ubuntu repos (undo what you did manually) and drop the java app into it, it should work, and be more supportable
[19:58] <Zewwy> I wanted to be a linux admin, but Windows was so prevalent
[19:58] <ikonia> Zewwy: the guide you are following does not seem to be written be experienced people with an idea for supportability
[19:58] <Zewwy> k thank you
[19:58] <Zewwy> you've been a great help
[19:58] <ducasse> twig11: that looks good. but has *all* your commands now been entered through that gnome thingy?
[19:59] <ioria> twig11,  ok
[19:59] <ikonia> Zewwy: if you approach it like that, this channel can support you better
[20:00] <aiello> G'day, I've got a super bizzare problem I've been unable to solve... hoping someone might have a crazy idea that might just work. I have 16.04 LTS with two nvidia GPUs and 3 monitors (2 plugged into the first, 1 plugged into the second). the latter gives me a blank screen with an X cursor with both the X-org and nvidia drivers. I've tried everything from a reinstall to changing cable, video card, and monitor arrangements and believe
[20:00] <aiello> (2/2) It works perfectly fine off the live CD, but not once installed on a disk.
[20:01] <ikonia> aiello: I suspect your video card setup is using "twinview" with the nvidia module
[20:01] <twig11> ducasse: yes, it's a drop-down terminal app, like Guake, not the alt-f2 command field.
[20:01] <ikonia> aiello: twinview (I think) still cannot support multiple cards
[20:02] <ducasse> twig11: what happens when you try to start a regular term?
[20:02] <aiello> ikonia, oh... well, that kind of sucks - is there any known workaround or alternative solution to get it to play nice?
[20:03] <ikonia> aiello: you could try the opensource driver, or look at using the nvidia driver and setup multiple screen configs rather than twinview (I'm guessing your problem don't forget)
[20:03] <ash_workz> yeah, I don't know if this has something to do with my upgrade or if this is a vbox problem
[20:03] <ash_workz> https://gist.github.com/ash-m/6d97911b297361b7bdbf680bc5bbc352
[20:03] <ikonia> ash_workz: you're not using virtualbox from the ubuntu repo s?
[20:04] <ash_workz> ikonia: I would think I am?
[20:04] <ducasse> ash_workz: did you disable secure boot in the bios?
[20:04] <ikonia> ash_workz: really ?
[20:04] <ash_workz> ducasse: no
[20:04] <ducasse> ash_workz: there you go, then.
[20:04] <ikonia> ash_workz: that problems is that the kernel module has not been rebuilt
[20:04] <ash_workz> awesome
[20:04] <ikonia> after a kernel update
[20:04] <aiello> ikonia: sure, understood. I've tried using the Xorg drivers with the same result. Also attempted to use Xinerama since the cards are identical with no joy. I do have two x servers setup via the nvidia x server configuration tool, and for all intents and purposes, I can move my mouse across the displays as would be expected, but the 'desktop' and individual windows won't show up on that display.
[20:05] <ikonia> ash_workz: however if you're using the ubuntu provided virtualbox package that normally manages the module with a kernel hook on upgrade
[20:05] <twig11> ducasse: nothing, as far as I can see, except that the cursor changes to busy for a few seconds, the hard drive reads for a bit (maybe unrelated) and no window opens. Should it make a difference if the app I'm using is just a bash interface?
[20:05] <twig11> I have Qterminal open now, as it's willing to open a window, unlike the Gnome terminal app.
[20:06] <ikonia> aiello: I "think" nvidia x server config tool pushes twinview still....
[20:06] <ikonia> aiello: you may need to check that as I'm working from memory
[20:06] <ash_workz> k, trying
[20:06] <ducasse> ash_workz: just disable sb, and vbox should work. you might need to rebuild the modules, not sure.
[20:06] <bhudipta> ?
[20:06] <ash_workz> oh
[20:06] <ash_workz> how do I do that?
[20:06] <ash_workz> rebuild the modules?
[20:06] <twig11> ducasse: that's why I'm thinking I might be having drive problems. Yesterday some apps just quit opening or responding and then when I rebooted to see if that would fix it, I got dropped to a busybox prompt and had to fsck it to get it to boot again.
[20:07] <aiello> ikonia: wilco - I'll double check after work and will circle back 'round on here with more real-time information at that point. Appreciate the help and direction to investigate!
[20:07] <ikonia> aiello: sorry I can't be more specific
[20:07] <ikonia> bit rusty working from memory
[20:07] <ducasse> ash_workz: look for it in the bios, there should be a setting. it might be labelled 'windows or "other os"'
[20:07] <bhudipta> hello everyone !
[20:07] <ikonia> aiello: it is possible though, I've had a 4 headed display setup with 2 nvidia cards,
[20:07] <aiello> no worries, certainly further than I got
[20:07] <ash_workz> ducasse: I meant the moduels
[20:08] <ash_workz> r:el
[20:08] <ducasse> ash_workz: oh, just do 'apt install --reinstall virtualbox-dkms'
[20:08] <ash_workz> ah
[20:08] <ash_workz> okay
[20:08] <ash_workz> bbs
[20:09] <twig11> ducasse: this is the terminal I've been using during this session: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/442/drop-down-terminal/
[20:10] <anonymous_> hi
[20:11] <ioria> twig11,  i'd take a look at this /snap/ubuntu-core/1357/usr/lib/python3.5/_sysconfigdata.py   how come you have it in your system (3 of them) ?
[20:11] <Quick> : DD
[20:11] <anonymous_> hello
[20:11] <anonymous_> i find new friends
[20:12] <Quick> no friends for you
[20:12] <ducasse> twig11: i really don't know - sorry. it's kind of hard to narrow your problems down, because i suspect there are more than one. also i've been staring at a screen for 14 hours now :)
[20:12] <ducasse> !topic | anonymous_
[20:12] <anonymous_> haha
[20:12] <anonymous_> est rysskie &
[20:13] <anonymous_> rebyat
[20:13] <anonymous_> syka blyat
[20:13] <ikonia> anonymous_: english only please
[20:13] <anonymous_> i speak to russian
[20:13] <ducasse> !ru | anonymous_
[20:13] <ikonia> anonymous_: there are many russian channels
[20:14] <anonymous_> join #ubuntu-ru
[20:14] <twig11> ducasse: dude, get some sleep :D Thanks anyhow.
[20:14] <twig11> ioria: I tried to follow instructions to set up snaps in the past and failed a time or so. I don't understand how snaps work so I probably shouldn't mess with them. I don't even know how to fix that issue. What do you recommend?
[20:14] <anonymous_> who is speak russian ?
[20:15] <ikonia> anonymous_: no-one here
[20:15] <ducasse> twig11: i will, soon :) btw, can you remember if you've used pip/pip3 to install/upgrade python stuff?
[20:15] <twig11> ducasse: I think I have.
[20:15] <ioria> twig11,  i don't use snapd, but maybe there's a way to reverse that
[20:16] <ducasse> twig11: that could be at the root of this.
[20:16] <ducasse> twig11: ioria you can rollback snaps, if that is the question?
[20:16] <ioria> ducasse, yes
[20:16] <twig11> I don't think I'm currently relying on any snap apps anyway. But I've never figured out how to roll them back or remove them properly.
[20:16] <carry> how do i get a new software
[20:17] <ducasse> ioria: 'man snap', search for 'revert' option
[20:17] <ash_workz> I can't get the settings screen to come up
[20:17] <ash_workz> isn't it F10
[20:17] <ash_workz> ?
[20:17] <k1l> carry: you mean update software or install new software?
[20:17] <ioria> ducasse, still on trusty ( no man snap) :þ
[20:17] <ducasse> ash_workz: often del, depends on your machine
[20:17] <ash_workz> bios*
[20:18] <OerHeks> del / f2 / esc
[20:18] <ducasse> ioria: in short it lets you revert to a specified revision, the previous one if none specified

[20:19] <ioria> ducasse, i see, thanx

[20:20] <anonymous_> who is help me to hack social web ?
[20:20] <ikonia> no-one
[20:20] <ikonia> please don't ask again
[20:20] <ducasse> anonymous_: stop that, please
[20:20] <k1l> anonymous_: no hacking in here. this is for ubuntu support only. if you want to do illegal stuff freenode is the wrong irc server
[20:20] <anonymous_> why ?
[20:20] <Zewwy> lol
[20:20] <ioria> twig11, you still get the 'pithos' errror ?
[20:21] <Zewwy> if you intent is to do pen testing thats one thing
[20:21] <Zewwy> if your goal is malicous intent, gtfo
[20:21] <ikonia> Zewwy: tone it down please
[20:21] <Zewwy> sorry
[20:21] <anonymous_> you are not hackers ?
[20:21] <Zewwy> just don't like black hat
[20:21] <ikonia> no problem
[20:21] <ikonia> anonymous_: no
[20:21] <anonymous_> so sorrow
[20:21] <ikonia> anonymous_: you know enough english to ask to hack - READ the topic and the rules of the channel before talking again please
[20:23] <anonymous_> well i dont know english because i am Ukrainian!
[20:23] <genii> anonymous_: Freenode is an IRC network which the main purpose is to provide a place for people to collaborate on open-source and similar projects. It is unlikely you will a channel or community on it's network to assist with your question.
[20:23] <pupps> guys, any reason why (when having two interfaces on a server) when the second interface is brought down and then up i can ping a server on its subnet... but after some minutes again not... ping replies are being sent by the server but somehow filtered
[20:24] <anonymous_> good bye guys
[20:24] <ikonia> pupps: reply based routing
[20:24] <Zewwy> ^^ what genii said

[20:25] <k1l> MrOpenSource: why?
[20:25] <twig11> ioria: no output
[20:25] <carry> i need help please
[20:25] <MrOpenSource> in case to install pulseaudio
[20:26] <k1l> carry: which what exactly?
[20:26] <pupps> ikonia:  can you explain a bit plz?
[20:26] <luna__> Moms new computer is done: https://i.imgur.com/ExtwknV.jpg :)
[20:26] <OerHeks> MrOpenSource, update first.
[20:26] <ikonia> pupps: are both cards on different subnets ?
[20:26] <ioria> twig11, the .deb is gone then ...
[20:26] <MrOpenSource> ok
[20:26] <pupps> ikonia: yes
[20:26] <k1l> MrOpenSource: what ubuntu is it? why do you need to isntall pulseaudio? that should be standard already
[20:26] <MrOpenSource> 16.04 LTS
[20:26] <ikonia> pupps: they are connected to different switches ?
[20:26] <twig11> ioria: weird. I'm in over my head here.
[20:26] <carry> with a program
[20:26] <pupps> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/DPLrzPDj
[20:26] <k1l> MrOpenSource: that doesnt make sense
[20:27] <jubant123> hi, is it best to install .deb packages with Software Install or with gdebi?
[20:27] <jubant123> Running Ubuntu 16.10
[20:27] <k1l> carry: please explain what is the issue at all. so far i only understand "my car is broken"
[20:27] <pupps> ikonia: no, they both connect to a firewall, i sniffed on the firewall and can see the replies being sent back to the server fine, they just seem to be filtered somehow on the server side...
[20:28] <k1l> jubant123: or dpkg -i on cli. they all should work
[20:28] <ducasse> twig11: can you pastebin output of 'sudo apt install -f'?
[20:28] <ikonia> pupps: would it be right for me to guess it's something on the 10.10.11.x subnet that's failing to respond ?
[20:28] <jubant123> dpkg -i package.deb? like this?
[20:28] <jnewt> is there an issue with the drivers for nvidia quadro cards? mine is m2000.  i've tried the nvidia 367.57, 370.28, 378.09.  all of them seem to have issues when i'm xrdp/vnc/x2go into the machine.  I can't seem to find much tying this to graphics.  I get errors when trying to start firefox (seg fault), chrome (glx, gpu process), nvidia-settings (seg fault), time-admin (seg fault) just to name a few.
[20:28] <k1l> jubant123: yes
[20:29] <ducasse> jubant123: or apt install package.deb
[20:29] <twig11> ducasse: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949830/
[20:29] <pupps> ikonia: correct... 10.10.11.1... the final goal is for me to ping 10.10.10.7 but i'm going step by step.... weirdly enough when i do an ifdown and ifup all works for 1-2 minutes then stops receiving replies
[20:29] <jubant123> do i need to run it with sudo or not?
[20:29] <jubant123> in both cases of apt install and dpkg -i
[20:29] <jnewt> anyone know if this is a graphics card issue, or the remote protocols, or Xorg?  I dont' even know where to start looking for answers
[20:30] <ikonia> pupps: your routing looks "odd"
[20:30] <ikonia> pupps: you have 10.10.10.x and 10.10.11.x both going out of eth1
[20:30] <ikonia> pupps: is that intentional
[20:30] <k1l> MrOpenSource: what ubuntu is that exactly? what is the issue? why is pulseaudio missing (thats the standard soundserver)? why do you install gksu?
[20:31] <pupps> ikonia: yeah, as i said, the final goal is for 10.10.10.x to be accessible via 10.10.11.1 (kind of like a gateway)
[20:31] <ioria> twig11,  you can try to reinstall  it ....
[20:31] <ikonia> pupps: what is 10.10.11.1 ?
[20:31] <pupps> ikonia: firewall
[20:31] <twig11> ioria: reinstall what, pithos? Or Ubuntu?
[20:31] <MrOpenSource> k1l_ Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (Xenial Xerus) 64bit
[20:31] <ikonia> pupps: so have you set the interface eth1 up as a router ?
[20:31] <twig11> ducasse, ioria: shall I reboot and see if my drive goes haywire again. I'm connected to the chat from another machine, and it seems a little futile to be trying to troubleshoot something if it's possible that it's bad sectors on the drive causing the problem.
[20:31] <ikonia> pupps: eg: iptables or something routing the packets ?
[20:32] <ioria> twig11,  pithos,    sudo apt-get --force-yes install   pithos
[20:33] <pupps> ikonia: no, the server 10.10.11.50 (server eth1) needs to reach (10.10.10.7 another server) via 10.10.11.1 (firewall)
[20:33] <twig11> ioria: same errors: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23949846/
[20:33] <ikonia> pupps: what interface has a 10.10.10 ip address assigned to it ?
[20:34] <ioria> twig11,  dpkg -l pithos
[20:34] <k1l> MrOpenSource: i still dont understand the issue behind that all
[20:34] <pupps> ikonia: none that subnet is not directly attached to the server hence why it needs to be routed through 10.10.11.1
[20:34] <ikonia> pupps: so then you need to setup routing on your box
[20:34] <ikonia> otherwise it's just going to go nowhere
[20:35] <MrOpenSource> k1l: i tried to install pulseaudio but i get this error E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages
[20:35] <k1l> MrOpenSource: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[20:35] <ikonia> pupps: although I'm surprised your getting any traffic out of that to the firewall on the 10.10.10 address range
[20:35] <MrOpenSource> then termianl said i should install gksu
[20:37] <ducasse> twig11: try 'sudo dpkg -C'
[20:38] <k1l> MrOpenSource: gksu is somewhat deprecated. that is why makes me wonder
[20:38] <k1l> MrOpenSource: so your story is still missing a lot
[20:38] <MrOpenSource> k1l: I am very new to ubuntu and still do not know so much about it, I am still learning
[20:39] <MrOpenSource> k1l: i install ubuntu for first time today
[20:40] <k1l> MrOpenSource: you were asking ubuntu things the last days already. that makes me wonder. but again: pulseaudio is preinstalled already. what ubuntu is that at all?

[20:41] <MrOpenSource> Release:        16.04
[20:41] <MrOpenSource> Codename:       xenial
[20:42] <k1l> MrOpenSource: is this lubuntu?
[20:42] <ioria> twig11,  sudo dpkg-reconfigure pithos
[20:43] <twig11> ioria: sudo dpkg-reconfigure pithos
[20:43] <twig11> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: pithos is broken or not fully installed
[20:44] <ioria> twig11,  we knew that
[20:44] <twig11> ioria: sudo dpkg --configure pithos
[20:44] <twig11> dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process
[20:44] <MrOpenSource> k1l: Xubuntu
[20:45] <k1l> MrOpenSource: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[20:45] <k1l> and show the output on a pstebin service
[20:47] <MrOpenSource> http://pastebin.com/FA9978Zu
[20:47] <ioria> twig11,  this is my last guess;  you can try to mv all the pithos related files from /var/lib/dpkg/info/ to (e.g.) Desktop and run again sudo apt install -f :  cp  /var/lib/dpkg/info/pithos* ~/Desktop/
[20:49] <twig11> ioria: sudo apt install -f
[20:49] <twig11> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[20:49] <twig11> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[20:49] <OerHeks> MrOpenSource, precise 12.04 with xenial sources and opensuse ... oink
[20:49] <k1l> MrOpenSource: ok. so please stop telling lies now: what ubuntu is this? its not a fresh installed ubuntu 16.04
[20:49] <ioria> twig11,  that's another story
[20:50] <ducasse> twig11: you have another apt/dpkg running somewhere
[20:50] <Proksima> Any idea why since a little while after my laptop has suspended for too long it shutdown by itself? :/ Quite annoying...
[20:50] <twig11> How do I find and shut it down?
[20:50] <MrOpenSource> k1l: 1h ago I installed the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Iso from the offical ubuntu site https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
[20:50] <ioria> twig11,  do you other installing programs running ?
[20:51] <twig11> ioria: not that i know of.
[20:51] <Fudster> Could anyone have a look at this? Apt-get won't install anything :( http://paste.ubuntu.com/23949964/
[20:51] <k1l> MrOpenSource: grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999
[20:52] <nacc> Fudster: are you on vivid (15.04)?
[20:52] <ioria> twig11,  reboot
[20:52] <Fudster> nacc, Yes.
[20:52] <ducasse> twig11: 'sudo pkill dpkg'
[20:52] <geoffrey_> bonsoir
[20:52] <arooni> can anyone tell me what updatedb.mlocate does ?
[20:52] <k1l> Fudster: that version is outdated and in no supported ubuntu. which ubuntu are you on?
[20:52] <geoffrey_> beaver et tu la ?
[20:52] <arooni> or what mlocate does in general?
[20:52] <k1l> Fudster: oh, 15.04 is dead. you need to upgrade asap
[20:53] <twig11> ducasse: didn't work. rebooting.
[20:53] <MrOpenSource> http://pastebin.com/KQij58Ti
[20:53] <Fudster> k1l, Kinda scared to do so to be honest. Last time I did a system upgrade it broke my LXC container. Permisson issues etc.
[20:53] <OerHeks> !info mlocate
[20:53] <luna__> pimped the box with stuff for mom: https://i.imgur.com/MhY83YP.jpg :D
[20:53] <ducasse> arooni: builds a database to locate files, 'man locate'/'man updatedb'
[20:53] <k1l> MrOpenSource: so you changed the ubuntu sources.list?
[20:54] <k1l> MrOpenSource: i will be honest with yout: make a clean reinstall and dont change the source.list
[20:54] <ioria> twig11, sorry, it was    sudo   mv  /var/lib/dpkg/info/pithos* ~/Desktop/
[20:55] <Zewwy> ikonia: You still around?
[20:55] <MrOpenSource> k1l: okey I am kind dumb and new to this operating system, I just installed 1-3 programs
[20:55] <k1l> MrOpenSource: and i strongly suggest you reduce the usage of 3rd party repos or sources
[20:55] <twig11> ioria: yeah, my head is spinning or I would have caught that myself. I do know the difference between cp and mv, just barely.
[20:56] <ioria> twig11, yeah
[20:56] <twig11> ioria: the good news is reboot went okay so the hard drive didn't fail on me yet.
[20:56] <ducasse> MrOpenSource: a bit more than 1-3...
[20:56] <k1l> MrOpenSource: no. you changed your ubuntu sources to 12.04 since you used some custom sources.list builder. then you activated more than 10 PPAs. that is not a "i just insatlled 16.04"
[20:56] <ioria> twig11, that's good
[20:57] <MrOpenSource> I can post you all command is used one sec
[20:58] <MrOpenSource> http://pastebin.com/Rih9eu7P
[20:58] <Zewwy> Alright so i installed tomcat via apt-get which was way simpler than the blog I was following, my question is now, do I just have to use the same systemctl line to set it to "enable" or start at boot?
[20:58] <pupps> ikonia: sorry had to rush out... ignore the 10.10.10.x network for a bit... on the second interface i cant seem to ping the 10.10.11.1 sometime after the down/up
[20:58] <MrOpenSource> I guess I should keep my ass by win7 or so IDK
[20:58] <Zewwy> PWM:~$ sudo systemctl enable tomcat8
[20:58] <Zewwy> tomcat8.service is not a native service, redirecting to systemd-sysv-install
[20:58] <Zewwy> Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable tomcat8
[20:58] <Zewwy> Nice!
[20:59] <Zewwy> Thanks ikonia
[20:59] <k1l> MrOpenSource: again: you changed your sources.list to ubuntu 12.04 manually.
[20:59] <k1l> MrOpenSource: that has nothing to do with better staying on windows.
[21:00] <ducasse> MrOpenSource: did someone give you those 'first steps' instructions?
[21:01] <MrOpenSource> k1l: I know what you mean but, sometimes I do not know what I do, or what I have to do at fresh installed system
[21:01] <MrOpenSource> I have it from a youtube video he explaiend what to do after fresh installed system
[21:01] <k1l> MrOpenSource: i guess you followd some cool youtubevideo or something made by a bloke who doesnt have a clue what he suggest
[21:01] <ducasse> MrOpenSource: ok, he's an idiot.
[21:01] <Pici> Or perhaps it was posted when 12.04 was current.
[21:02] <Fudster> An upgrade from 'vivid' to 'xenial' is not supported with this tool.
[21:02] <Fudster> :(
[21:02] <nacc> !eol | Fudster
[21:02] <nedstark> maybe it was a traaaap
[21:02] <k1l> MrOpenSource: ok, so why dont you make a fresh install and dont follow bad howtos but start using it. and if you have an issue or a question you come here and ask?
[21:02] <ducasse> Fudster: you need to go via wily
[21:02] <zeekhuge> What .config file is used for the Kernel that comes packed in Ubuntu (or any distro for that matter) ?
[21:03] <Fudster> ducasse, wily?
[21:03] <nacc> zeekhuge: see /boot/config-`uname -r`
[21:03] <MrOpenSource> k1l: okey that is good idea, I will do this fresh install tomrrow, its already so late here
[21:03] <zeekhuge> I mean, how does this very closely matches with the drivers that there are in so many systems ?
[21:03] <nacc> zeekhuge: for other distros, they often puyt it in /boot as well, or you can sometimes (depends on the .config) /proc/config.gz
[21:04] <k1l> Fudster: you need to upgrade to 15.10 first. then to 16.04.  you are already several years late not, so you need to make more effort. read the bots message on !eolupgrade
[21:04] <ducasse> Fudster: 15.10, go 15.04->15.10->16.04
[21:04] <MrOpenSource> k1l: would be nice to have people who tells to an new user to use ubuntu or in general what to do
[21:05] <k1l> MrOpenSource: the reason we react that way is because we have several users following youtube videos who have rubbish howtos.and we need to fix the mess then.
[21:05] <zeekhuge> Rewordin my question : I mean, how does this (all the driver included in the kernel) very closely matches with the devices that there are in so many systems ?
[21:05] <Fudster> k1l, ...This looks hacky. I been told not to install packages ahead of my version
[21:05] <k1l> MrOpenSource: start using it like you would use it on windows. if you need help come in here
[21:05] <nedstark> MrOpenSource: you can fix your sources list, but if you have a bunch of 12.04 packages installed, you'd probably fix it quicker installing a fresh copy of 16.04
[21:05] <MrOpenSource> k1l: yes I can understand you in this case, i just saw to watch a few videos would be nice to get this system better to know
[21:06] <k1l> Fudster: no, you need to change the sources.list like its told on the ubottus link-
[21:06] <k1l> Fudster: you are years too late for the "easy upgrade". now you need more manual work
[21:06] <daniel_>  
[21:07] <k1l> MrOpenSource: its like car driving: you dont learn it by just watching. you need to drive it.
[21:07] <MrOpenSource> k1l: true story
[21:10] <MrOpenSource> what is best way to install Ubuntu, Just erase disk and install Ubuntu or, manual partitioning ubuntu
[21:10] <Fudster>  Failed to fetch http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/vivid-security/mu                                                                                        ltiverse/binary-i386/Packages  404  Not Found
[21:10] <Fudster> Wrong?
[21:11] <daniel_> .
[21:11] <BlueShark> MrOpenSource: depends on your requirements. if you have nothing else on the hdd that needs preserving, it's best to wipe everything and install
[21:11] <BlueShark> for me, it's just manual repartitioning every time
[21:12] <texla> During start-up of 16.04 I have a number of older kernels listed...I would like to reduce them to the current and two other for if needed --How do I delete
[21:12] <BlueShark> sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:12] <MrOpenSource> I have nothing on my hard driver, only Ubuntu System
[21:12] <zuiss1> the version of minitube in 16.04 is broken. you can't search anything. can anyone suggest what i should do to get a working copy?
[21:13] <k1l> MrOpenSource: the standard install is fine to start iwth
[21:13] <k1l> *with
[21:13] <MrOpenSource> ok
[21:14] <kzet> I'm having connection issues to se.archive.ubuntu.com when I'm trying to apt-get something. I've tried rebooting, I've tried uncommenting the 54th line in /etc/gai.conf - can't get it to work.
[21:16] <FManTropyx> when will Ubuntu have Qt5?
[21:16] <Ghost_Inductee> Hi all
[21:16] <Pici> FManTropyx: now?
[21:17] <FManTropyx> my Ubuntu only has 4
[21:17] <ducasse> !info qt5-default | FManTropyx
[21:18] <ducasse> FManTropyx: which ubuntu are you on?
[21:18] <Pici> ducasse: fwiw, I'm on 14.04 and that package is available
[21:19] <ducasse> Pici: didn't say it wasn't :)
[21:19] <jabant13> hi, if i install virtualbox from the .deb for 16.10 will i get updates for it in the future?
[21:19] <jabant13> or do i need to do something else too
[21:20] <digbychicken> jabant13, I usually get a pop-up in the VBox GUI that lets me know a new version is available.
[21:20] <digbychicken> jabant13, I'll go download it, then do the .deb install again. It saves my VMs without issue.
[21:20] <jabant13> but would i get updates for it if i run sudo apt upgrade?
[21:21] <ducasse> jabant13: not without adding a repo
[21:21] <digbychicken> Yes ^^
[21:21] <FManTropyx> ducasse, this is 16.04.1 and I installed Qt-SDK from the reposition
[21:21] <jabant13> on virtualbox's site it gives a line which seems to be for 16.04
[21:21] <zuiss1> 16.04 has qt5
[21:22] <jabant13> deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian xenial contrib
[21:22] <jabant13> would this work for 16.10?
[21:22] <jabant13> or do i need to change the xenial part with something else
[21:22] <ducasse> FManTropyx: qt-sdk depends on qt4, it seems, but 16.04 has qt5
[21:22] <ducasse> jabant13: you can't just change it, it needs to exist as well
[21:23] <nedstark> jabant13: it should work fine, people use virtualbox in 16.10 and there's no difference between the versions for 16.10 and 16.04
[21:23] <nedstark> or from debian for that matter
[21:24] <ducasse> jabant13: replace xenial with yakkety - there are packages for it
[21:24] <jabant13> i will try it now, ducasse
[21:24] <therealtbe> how to see if a package exists in a certain repo (Ubuntu 14.04 )
[21:25] <wiresy> hello all people here, I'm looking for a command to find a word or word group in the files of a folder. I found these posts but they offer a lot of different commands, some of which I tried and couldnt make work so far. I am wondering if it is because I am on a live cd and any package is missing to run grep or find commands
[21:25] <wiresy> these are the posts I found : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16956810/how-to-find-all-files-containing-specific-text-on-linux
[21:25] <twig11> ducasse: I did 'sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/pithos* ~/Desktop/' as ioria suggested. Then I ran sudo apt install -f. the output is here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/23950138/
[21:26] <twig11> I also am still unable to open the Gnome Terminal app from the activities overview
[21:26] <ducasse> twig11: what about 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'?
[21:26] <tony> Hi world
[21:27] <texla> During start-up of 16.04 I have a number of older kernels listed...I would like to reduce them to the current and two other for if needed --How do I delete
[21:27] <wiresy> in any command I tried the terminal jumps to command prompt without any output
[21:27] <wiresy> jumped*
[21:27] <twig11> ducasse: the problem with a phantom dpkg running somewhere is fixed, but the original problem of the errors in apt and the half-installed pithos are still there.
[21:28] <ducasse> twig11: try 'sudo dpkg -P --force-all pithos' again
[21:30] <tony> Grubling over Grub any one know a good introduction, am not hungry though.
[21:30] <twig11> ducasse: dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove pithos which isn't installed
[21:31] <k1l> therealtbe: apt search packagename
[21:31] <MrOpenSource> k1l: I reinstall ubuntu now and then I will join with browser in this IRC chat
[21:31] <therealtbe> k1l:  but I need to know for a different repo
[21:31] <therealtbe> isn't there a bot shortcut called like !exists  ?
[21:31] <therealtbe> I thought I could say like  !exists CloudCompare  Trusty
[21:31] <ppf> there's !info
[21:31] <twig11> ducasse: the pithos icon still shows up in the app menu though, and it won't install or uninstall cleanly.
[21:31] <ppf> but packages.ubuntu.com is less spamy
[21:31] <k1l> therealtbe: packages.ubuntu.com
[21:32] <ppf> !info CloudCompare trusty | therealtbe
[21:32] <k1l> therealtbe: also there is !info command for the bot. but just joining here and spam that to the channel is not the intended use :)
[21:32] <jabant13> thanks ducasse, it worked
[21:32] <nedstark> texla: this explains http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/05/remove-old-kernels-ubuntu-16-04. just be aware the purge-old-kernels command only keeps the current 1 and 1 prior, so you'd have to do it manually to keep the 3rd one
[21:33] <therealtbe> if I have a package installed, is it possible to see where it came from (repo, or custom ppa) ?
[21:33] <ducasse> twig11: hmm. sorry, but i'm so tired now i'm utterly useless, got to get some sleep. ask the channel, see if someone can help. just point them to that last pastebin.
[21:33] <k1l> therealtbe: apt-cache policy pacakgename
[21:33] <twig11> ducasse: OK, thanks for your help, you've been great.
[21:34] <ducasse> twig11: no problem, hope you get it sorted.
[21:36] <ducasse> twig11: one hunch before i go - boot in recovery mode, and select the option to fix packages
[21:36] <tony> hi Room
[21:37] <twig11> ducasse: I'll give it a shot.
[21:37] <twig11> thanks
[21:39] <wiresy> I'd like to use those fantastic command line options to find text in files, can anyone help please?
[21:40] <Error02x> hello
[21:40] <dmatt> wiresy: for start type "man grep" into terminal
[21:41] <Error02x> etc/network/interfaces show only "lo"
[21:42] <Error02x> ifconfig shows my interfaces
[21:42] <k1l> Error02x: the network-manager handles the devices, not that file
[21:43] <wiresy> thank you, I know there is a long long long text help named grep but I have no time to sort things out alone. that's why I made web search but there are also a number of suggestions
[21:43] <wiresy> named man grep*
[21:43] <Error02x> Ahh thanks k1l :)
[21:43] <mitchgray> hey is anyone able to help me figure out what i cando to upgrade my desktop processor, or if even worth while, my motherboard and a processor
[21:44] <k1l> mitchgray: #hardware for hardware issues please
[21:44] <Hans-Martin> hi folks, a friend of mine has missed upgrading his laptop from 15.04 while it was still supported, and now he came to me for help (as usual, wait until the shit hits the fan, then ask a friend to fix it for you...). I know that upgrading from 15.04 is not supported, I'm just looking for some advice on how to best preserve the user data when installing 16.04.1.
[21:44] <mitchgray> okay, sorry im not really familiar with irc, do i go "/join #hardware?
[21:45] <k1l> mitchgray: yes
[21:45] <nacc> !eolupgrade | Hans-Martin
[21:45] <dmatt> wiresy: http://opensourceforu.com/2012/06/beginners-guide-gnu-grep-basics-regular-expressions/ start under header basic usage
[21:45] <Hans-Martin> nacc: thanks!
[21:46] <k1l> Hans-Martin: use the eol upgrade with pointing the sources.list to the old-releases to make the upgrade work again. go from 15.04 to 15.10 then to 16.04
[21:46] <ducasse> wiresy: exactly what do you want to do?
[21:48] <wiresy> ducasse, sort out some files by detecting them via text expressions that they contain
[21:48] <mitchgray> its not allowing me to message in hardware!?!
[21:49] <wiresy> ducasse, and these are .ods files
[21:49] <ducasse> wiresy: 'grep -l "this string" *.txt' will tell you which .txt files contain 'this string'
[21:49] <wiresy> ducasse, mine are all .ods files, so it works the same when I insert ods instead of txt?
[21:50] <ducasse> wiresy: if the files aren't plain text it's more complex. try.
[21:50] <Natsume> hi
[21:51] <ducasse> wiresy: linux cli tools are built to work with plain text
[21:51] <wiresy> ducasse, as I wrote, the terminal returns to command prompt
[21:51] <wiresy> no output
[21:52] <ducasse> wiresy: then you will need to convert them to text to use cli tools
[21:52] <wiresy> is it because I am on a bare live cd maybe?
[21:52] <wiresy> I mean, dvd
[21:52] <ChadTaljaardt> Could someone help me downgrade bazel?
[21:52] <Guest76273> any good program to change ip ?
[21:53] <Fudster> Is there a way to cancel a install? I can't install a package. It won't configure. I can't uninstall the package because...It's not installed. So Apt-get is stuck in a "Loop"
[21:53] <mitchgray> can anyone help me with chatting in hardware, i get a message saying "== Cannot send to channel: ##hardware"
[21:53] <ducasse> !register | mitchgray
[21:53] <mitchgray> !register
[21:54] <mitchgray> crap, havent used irc in years!
[21:54] <k1l> Fudster: sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq package_name
[21:54] <wiresy> so the mighty 'grep' or 'find' is of no use here?
[21:54] <k1l> wiresy: what do you plan at all there?
[21:54] <mitchgray> ! register mitchgray
[21:54] <mitchgray> !register mitchgray
[21:54] <k1l> wiresy: grep manpages at a live cd?
[21:54] <Fudster> k1l, Also I figured out why I am stuck in not configuring. Because /proc is write only
[21:54] <gorgolath> hi,i need help to flash the C.H.I.P computer ,i need to how to make Udev rules .i use zorin 12
[21:54] <nacc> mitchgray: stop that, just read the help from ubottu
[21:55] <wiresy> k1l, sort out some files by detecting them via text expressions that they contain
[21:55] <wiresy> ods files
[21:55] <ducasse> wiresy: as i said, un*x tools work with text.
[21:55] <k1l> Fudster: i guess a clean install of 16.04 is worth a plan
[21:55] <MrOpenSource> k1l: I am back i installed ubunt new and i just started my browse to come in this channel
[21:56] <k1l> MrOpenSource: fine
[21:56] <ash_workz> how do you remove a user from a group?
[21:56] <Fudster> k1l, http://paste.ubuntu.com/23950312/
[21:56] <k1l> ash_workz: deluser user group
[21:57] <ash_workz> k1l: that doesn't remove the user from all groups?
[21:57] <ash_workz> `deluser` is a scary command
[21:57] <ash_workz> heh
[21:57] <Fudster> k1l, Figured it out.
[21:58] <k1l> ash_workz: from one group
[21:58] <princeso> hello people. Why would a raid 1 won't boot if i remove sda, and succesfuly boot if i remove sdb. I have the /boot partition as raid 1. 16.04 server.
[21:59] <ash_workz> what is the preferred user creation method agian? useradd or adduser?
[21:59] <k1l> ash_workz: on ubuntu its adduser
 exist instrucion what to do with new system, that I do not same fail like a few hours ago, cuz I really have not clue
[22:00] <admiralakber> Hi, I have an LXD question -- I want to mount /dev/dri and /dev/video in a container, I normally would do this with lxc.mount.entry in the container configuration file <-- where does LXD make these?
[22:00] <nacc> MrOpenSource: you don't have to *do* anything to a new system, just use it.
[22:01] <nacc> MrOpenSource: what you do to a system, totally depends on what you want to achive.
[22:01] <k1l> MrOpenSource: first dont try to see what the "most needed stuff to do" is. what do you want to do and see if ubuntu doesnt ship a solution preinstalled or in the official ubuntu repos.
[22:01] <wiresy> oh man
 actually I just want to install the programs I mostly use and nothing else, I wanna use ubuntu cuz it works better on my old laptop than windows 7 or 10
[22:02] <nacc> MrOpenSource: and what do you 'mostly use'?
[22:03] <k1l> MrOpenSource: what are the programs? keep in mind that not all programs have a native linux one and there might be other linux programs filling that gap
[22:03] <MrOpenSource> I mostly use Sportify Skype IRC chat Tor Browser Steam
[22:05] <krzysiu> hey :) How would you check RAM type (DDR, DDR2 - that kind of type) in shell? dmidecode --type 17 generally fails - either "unknown" or "not specified"
[22:05] <krzysiu> I only got that there are two slots, one is occupied. I.e. it works, but somehow I can't get full info.
[22:06] <admiralakber> MrOpenSource: Just install ubuntu server edition then install only the packages you want. You will need to install xorg yourself too.
[22:06] <krzysiu> maybe because it's very old machine
[22:06] <k1l> !tor | MrOpenSource
[22:06] <compdoc> krzysiu>, sudo lshw -short -C memory
[22:06] <k1l> admiralakber: that is not helpfull
[22:06] <Ben64> krzysiu: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:06] <compdoc> krzysiu
[22:07] <admiralakber> k1l: It's not? My bad then.
[22:07] <krzysiu> Ben64, didn't work but thanks!
[22:07] <k1l> MrOpenSource: steam got a native linux client. but not all games are ported to linux. so that depends on your games in use
[22:07] <krzysiu> compdoc, thanks, got it!
[22:07] <krzysiu> :)
[22:07] <Ben64> krzysiu: it does, if you google what ram works with that cpu
[22:07] <krzysiu> Ben64, ah, this way - right! :)
[22:07] <Ben64> alternatively, just open the case and look
[22:07] <k1l> MrOpenSource: are you german (because you got a german ip)
[22:07] <krzysiu> Ben64, it's too far away
[22:07] <krzysiu> in another room :/
 yes I am german
[22:08] <krzysiu> but really it has problems with starting, so I prefer to don't turn it off or even don't touch it - it easily loses connection to the ethernet and when it does, I can't access it
[22:09] <k1l> MrOpenSource: then the german wiki on ubuntuusers.de is a very good source for proper installation howtos and other helpful information: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Spotify/
[22:09] <krzysiu> still lovely machine - I made it my homeserver just to learn Linux stuff - before that I didn't know anything. Now I know basics, but still much more.
[22:10] <krzysiu> and if I'd break it, then no worries
[22:11] <krzysiu> and as it's a laptop, it's 'green friendly'. I think it's a good way to learn - try to make it work, do some maintenace etc.
[22:11] <krzysiu> my little Herman... :)
[22:21] <Guest17292> 9 11 attacks, Did USA do it itself or it just let it happen?
[22:21] <Guest17292> Did USA administration murder 3000 American citizen in 9 11 attacks to justify starting a war against iraq?
[22:21] <Guest17292> If al-qaeda did it, why go to kill 2 million Iraqi?
[22:21] <Guest17292> http://creatvchaos.blogspot.com.eg/
[22:21] <Guest17292> https://creatvchaos.wordpress.com/
[22:21] <Guest17292> Some of the benefits Americans say they achieved after 9 11 attacks include:
[22:24] <tmerr> Hi, I am porting some software that uses upstart to a newer version of ubuntu with systemd. I understand systemd remains compatible with sysV-style init scripts (in the /etc/init.d directory). Does it do anything with upstart style scripts or ignore them? (in the /etc/init directory)
[22:29] <Fudster> k1l, vivid isn't even in http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[22:42] <ash_workz> to allow myself to use sudo without a password I need to add `ash_workz ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL` to visudo?
[22:43] <ash_workz> I mean, is that formatted correctly?
[22:45] <FRWB_> hey guys how do i sort top processes alphabetically? i tried 'top -o COMMAND' but it sorts them in reverse alphabetical
[22:46] <sharon_so> Hi, I am curious if it is a best practice to have some sort of tool that monitors hard disk from getting filled up and maybe memory from the same ? or that is not something that sys admins worry about ?
[22:47] <sharon_so> FRWB_: install htop
[22:47] <PercySnr> Try installin htop, it's much nicer, although that doesn't really answer your question
[22:47] <FRWB_> yeah that doesn't lol
[22:48] <FRWB_> but ooooook
[22:48] <k1l> FRWB_: R toggles the sort order
[22:48] <FRWB_> hm pulls up renice option in top, guess youre referring to htop
[22:50] <FRWB_> r pulls up renice option in top* not hm lol
[22:50] <k1l> FRWB_: use + or - with o to make the order
[22:51] <FRWB_> kll: are you referring to htop or top?
[22:51] <k1l> top
[22:51] <k1l> that is at least what the manpage tells
[22:51] <FRWB_> says 'A' mode is required
[22:52] <ChadTaljaardt> could someone help me downgrade bazel?
[22:52] <ChadTaljaardt> i haveno idea how to do it
[22:52] <FRWB_> Command disabled, 'A' mode required.... wth
[22:52] <k1l> You can prepend a `+' or `-' to the field name to also          override the  sort  direction.   A  leading  `+'  will  force            sorting  high to low, whereas a `-' will ensure a low to high           ordering.
[22:52] <bazhang> ChadTaljaardt, what is bazel
[22:52] <ChadTaljaardt> its a piece of software to compile programs
[22:52] <bazhang> !info bazel
[22:52] <k1l> top -o -FIELDNAME
[22:52] <ChadTaljaardt> i need to install tensorflow but use a older version and becuase bazel got updated its causing issues
[22:52] <ChadTaljaardt> so i need to use a older version
[22:53] <ChadTaljaardt> https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/4748
[22:53] <bazhang> ChadTaljaardt, what's the actual package name for bazel, and what version of ubuntu are you on
[22:53] <ChadTaljaardt> thats the issue im having but i dont know how to do the answer
[22:53] <noobhero> Hello :)
[22:53] <ChadTaljaardt> im on 16.10
[22:54] <ChadTaljaardt> https://alliseesolutions.wordpress.com/2016/09/08/install-gpu-tensorflow-from-sources-w-ubuntu-16-04-and-cuda-8-0-rc/
[22:54] <ChadTaljaardt> thats how i installed bazel
[22:54] <bazhang> ChadTaljaardt, so bazel is from some 3rd party repo
[22:54] <FRWB_> kll: yeah im doing top -o COMMAND to get sorted by command but its z-a and i need it a-z, but -/+ say 'A' mode is required
[22:54] <ChadTaljaardt> yeah i think so
[22:54] <FRWB_> oh wait just saw your earlier line
[22:55] <k1l> FRWB_: i am citing from the manpage
[22:55] <FRWB_> kll: that works thanks
[22:56] <FRWB_> kll: still has some out of order but good enough lol thanks mas
[22:57] <FRWB_> so weird i ran fluxgui once, then i guess it crashed and its not running but i cant start it again
[22:59] <twig11> I have an install of the pithos app (a Pandora player) that is broken and throwing a string of python errors every time I try to uninstall or reinstall. On the earlier advice of some on this channel, I have tried dpkg -f and other related commands, to no avail. The errors relate to Python packages that seem to be broken in some way.

[23:17] <jnewt1> having issues with my ubuntu setup.  i can't find a good way to remote into the machine that is usable.  i've tried xrdp, a couple of vnc options, and x2go.  the problem is not the connection itself, but many apps won't open: firefox (seg fault), chrome (glx & gpu process errors), time-admin (seg fault) nvidia-settiongs (seg fault).  started with the stable gfx driver but couldn't boot with more than one screen.  updated using the launchpad ppa to the
[23:17] <jnewt1> latest 378.09 so now i can boot with >1 monitor but have hit this problem and need some help.

[23:28] <rxbad> ok
[23:43] <gde33> I had some unspecific instalation problem with lubuntu, I reinstalled it, ran sudo apt-get update but... now it says a dozen times: Target packages (....) is configured multiple times /etc/apt/sources.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list:53
[23:45] <sndnasdn1> i can't get any linux distro to boot. i even went and tried out bsd. i turned off secure boot, fast boot, and other things. i even unplugged my 1060 to see if it was the video card
[23:45] <sndnasdn1> nothing seems to work
[23:45] <sndnasdn1> i can boot into any windows os from a flash drive
[23:46] <gde33> sndnasdn1: maybe try wubi just to see if it works?
[23:46] <sndnasdn1> wubi is still around? i looked for that on the site
[23:46] <genii> No. forget wubi
[23:47] <gde33> sndnasdn1: I was just guessing, plx ignorez
[23:47] <bazhang> sndnasdn1, never use wubi
[23:48] <sndnasdn1> no one has an idea to try? i don't even get errors. it just hangs when it's suppose to boot into the gui
[23:48] <sndnasdn1> every distro does this
[23:50] <k1l> sndnasdn1: use nomodeset kernel setting, then install the nvidia driver after first boot
[23:50] <gde33> only liveusb's? or did you also try just install it?
[23:50] <sndnasdn1> i did that on another hdd gde33. it wouldnt boot after installing
[23:51] <sndnasdn1> i have done plenty of settings like that k1l. someone with the same problem with the same video card posted on the askubuntu forum and he never got a reply
[23:51] <sndnasdn1> but taking out my gpu doesn't fix the problem
[23:52] <genii> sndnasdn1: What cpu/motherboard/computer model?
[23:52] <sndnasdn1> i'll try one more time and just overwrite my windows partition. if that doesnt work ill just sell my computer parts and order older used parts. think i made the mistake of having modern hardware
[23:52] <sndnasdn1> z97mx gaming-5 from gigabyte, and a gigabyte gtx 1060
[23:53] <sndnasdn1> i know linux can work with this motherboard cause i ran fedora in the past when i had a different gpu
[23:53] <pragmatist1> Hello all, it would be great if someone here has the requisite knowledge to help me identify why my system keeps locking up. I'm running latest LTS on a brand new dell xps 15 9560. I have been trying to install the displaylink driver. Whenever I run the install script my system freezes. I narrowed it down to a udevadm call. If i type "udevadm trigger" my system locks up and I have to do a hard reboot.
[23:55] <sndnasdn1> i'll try my 10th attempt. ill be back later if it doesn't work. if not i'll just buy older pc parts and sell my new parts
[23:57] <gde33> about my problem, should I try restore the default repositories?
[23:57] <drjam> sndnasdn1, dude ive just gone 2 - 3 weeks and over 8 full installs, and a few partials with the same issue
[23:58] <k1l> gde33: what did you change there?
[23:58] <drjam> pressing F6 at the load screen of the live cd and adding nomodset got me to install
[23:58] <gde33> I had some unspecific instalation problem with lubuntu, I reinstalled it, ran sudo apt-get update but... now it says a dozen times: Target packages (....) is configured multiple times /etc/apt/sources.list:3 and /etc/apt/sources.list:53
[23:58] <drjam> once installed, it took another week to figure out i had to REMOVE nomodeset from the GRUB thing.....
[23:59] <drjam> and also, you have to re-create the grub thng with a command TOO....
[23:59] <k1l> gde33: grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999
[23:59] <gde33> k1l: or can I remove :53 some how?
[23:59] <k1l> gde33: and show the output link here
[23:59] <gde33> ill have to get the box on irc first
[23:59] <gde33> I guess I can make a pastie
