| zuiss1 | hi. is the minitube package broken in 16.04? | 00:01 |
| bazhang | !info minitube | 00:01 |
| ubottu | minitube (source: minitube): Native YouTube client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.2-2 (yakkety), package size 856 kB, installed size 2873 kB | 00:01 |
| gde33 | will take a bit, installing wifi driver | 00:01 |
| ash_workz | I totally fail at this: https://docs.docker.com/machine/drivers/generic/ | 00:04 |
| ash_workz | I really don't get it it... id_rsa would be a private key, no? so that's created on the server? o.O; | 00:05 |
| gde33 | eh I hit update in stead of cancle then got a error brokencount >0. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies. Update is still running, going to take some time it seems. | 00:05 |
| gde33 | going well for a fresh reinstall :P | 00:06 |

| gde33 | Different question, my monitor is only 600 px high. How do I use dialogs? I can get to [accept] by trying different numbers of [tab]'s but is there some generic solution? | 00:11 |
| gde33 | so far only the powermanagement didn't fit on the screen | 00:12 |
| k1l | use alt key to shove the window? | 00:12 |
| gde33 | with arrows? | 00:12 |
| gde33 | it only lets me drag it down | 00:14 |
| kk4ewt | alt drag | 00:14 |
| k1l | hold alt then use mouse and drag it | 00:14 |
| gde33 | it wont go beyond the top of the screen | 00:15 |

| gde33 | k1l: my connection crapped out right after I wrote: okay, it says sources.list.d/* : No such file or directory and gives this http://termbin.com/v3hc | 00:40 |
| k1l | k1l> gde33: did you manually change the sources.list file? | 00:40 |
| gde33 | k1l: I didn't get your messages after I posted that line | 00:40 |
| gde33 | k1l: or did you mean : how did you create this mess? | 00:41 |
| k1l | gde33: what about you answer that question? :) | 00:42 |
| gde33 | I haven't tried anything so far, no I didn't change anything | 00:42 |
| k1l | hint, i know its not the origial one | 00:42 |
| gde33 | it is lubuntu | 00:42 |
| k1l | because at the top of that file there are 3 lines added that are not there on a "fresh installed lubuntu" | 00:43 |
| k1l | so i would suggest you revert that manual changes | 00:44 |
| gde33 | it beats me, I dont know how those got there. I download the 32 bit lubuntu from the website and make a liveusb | 00:44 |
| k1l | i dont know what you did after the install | 00:44 |
| gde33 | the live usb booted just fine | 00:44 |
| === lethu_ is now known as lethu | ||
| gde33 | then I tried to install but it abandoned and went into powersave, after bringing it back to live the installer vanished | 00:45 |
| gde33 | after that it said ubuntu was already installed but booting didn't show grub | 00:45 |
| gde33 | so I reinstalled it | 00:45 |
| gde33 | first option in the list | 00:45 |
| gde33 | then grub worked, I got the os, I went straight for the terminal and did sudo apt-get update | 00:46 |
| gde33 | I also included 3rd party extras and allowed the installer to look on the internet | 00:46 |
| gde33 | and I installed the propriatardy wifi driver | 00:47 |
| k1l | gde33: as i said: remove that 3 lines at the top | 00:47 |
| gde33 | the 3 deb lines you mean right? lines 2,3,4 | 00:49 |
| k1l | yes | 00:49 |
| gde33 | is just putting a # in front enough? | 00:49 |
| k1l | remove them | 00:50 |
| === Spontex is now known as Guest63547 | ||
| k1l | if you want to add or remove ubuntu repos better use the system settings updates&software | 00:50 |
| gde33 | it stopped complaining, sudo apt-get update fetched, read packages then said Done | 00:53 |
| gde33 | anything else I should check/try ? | 00:53 |
| k1l | apt update only gets you the new list of packages from the servers. you still need apt full-upgrade to install that new pacakges | 00:54 |
| gde33 | interesting, I never see that before | 00:54 |
| 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 ? | 00:55 |
| gde33 | k1l: should I mention it is a crappy ph mini with 1 gb of ram? | 00:55 |
| k1l | gde33: what is the issue now? | 00:56 |
| gde33 | no issue, just wondering if a full upgrade would grow it beyond being a lubuntu. nvm it was a stupid thought. | 00:57 |
| k1l | gde33: no | 00:57 |
| wedgie | sharon_so: on production servers, definitely. On desktop machines, less so | 00:57 |
| gde33 | not a real issue, but it was kinda interesting how it killed my cable modem when I connected both the wired internet then connected to it with wifi | 00:57 |
| k1l | its just updating the packages. as i already said apt update doesnt update any packages, it just fetches the lists form the servers | 00:58 |
| sharon_so | wedgie: what is the standard/common for Linux VMs ? any recommendation | 00:58 |
| gde33 | k1l: oh | 00:58 |
| wedgie | sharon_so: lots of options. There are open source ones like nagios/icinga, cacti, and so on. Those are meant to monitor large numbers of machines | 00:59 |
| gde33 | should one always run full-upgrade or does the auto updater usually take care of things? | 00:59 |
| k1l | gde33: the gui updater will take care of that | 00:59 |
| gde33 | ok ill shut up now, thanks man! keep up the good work | 01:00 |

| sndnasdn1 | well... got it to install but it didn't install some firmware things. initframs acting up and i can't update | 01:06 |
| sndnasdn1 | i still can't boot into a gui | 01:07 |
| k1l | sndnasdn1: did you use nomodeset to boot? | 01:08 |
| k1l | !nomodeset | sndnasdn1 | 01:08 |
| ubottu | sndnasdn1: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:08 |
| k1l | when it booted once install the nvidia driver | 01:08 |
| sndnasdn1 | well there is a major issue with the fact i can't update | 01:09 |
| whodat | Ubuntu 12.04 support ends "April 2016", but does that mean April 1st or April 30th? | 01:09 |
| sndnasdn1 | im not worried about the gui now | 01:09 |
| aiello | ikonia: I'm back! and apparently you are still here! I just wanted to follow up and let you know what the resolution was (assuming you remember our chat earlier). I rolled back to X-org drivers and removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file forcing xserver to autoconfigure every time I rebooted. This resulted in a perfectly functioning desktop first try.... I got to that conclusion as xrandr was only detecting one video card for some reason | 01:09 |
| aiello | ikonia: (2/2) forum topic (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175743) that outlined the same issue and a resolution | 01:10 |
| sndnasdn1 | i could install my gpu drivers from cli but the fact of the matter is that im having huge issues with just the system itself. im going to just reinstall cause right now i have no OS besides this | 01:10 |

| thawes | marchelzo: what problems are you running into? | 01:43 |
| marchelzo | thawes: i'm getting "undefined reference to 'sinf'" and a bunch of similar linker errors | 01:43 |
| marchelzo | thawes: but i'm using the -lm flag, and ld isn't complaining about not being able to find libm | 01:44 |
| marchelzo | same for a bunch of other libraries, like readline, pcre, etc. | 01:44 |
| marchelzo | they are all installed and all of the correct linker flags are being used | 01:44 |
| marchelzo | and yet i get all of those errors | 01:44 |
| thawes | marchelzo: you need to include the appropriate libraries in your code | 01:45 |
| marchelzo | of course | 01:45 |
| marchelzo | all of the source code compiles fine | 01:46 |
| thawes | its just not linking? | 01:46 |
| marchelzo | yes | 01:46 |
| thawes | is it code you wrote yourself? | 01:47 |
| marchelzo | thawes: yes | 01:48 |
| thawes | marchelzo: are you using gcc or clang to compile? | 01:50 |
| marchelzo | thawes: gc | 01:50 |
| marchelzo | c | 01:50 |
| thawes | marchelzo: also can you paste your output into pastebin and send the link? | 01:50 |
| marchelzo | the one that came installed with ubuntu | 01:50 |
| thawes | marchelzo: paste the output of your compile here http://pastebin.com/ | 01:52 |
| thawes | you chould get a link to it when you submit | 01:53 |
| marchelzo | oops | 01:53 |
| marchelzo | looks like i was invoking gcc wrong. the order of the arguments is important apparently. | 01:53 |
| thawes | yes they are | 01:53 |
| thawes | Ntemis: are you trying to preserve the /dev/sda2 partition, and install the grub (ubuntu) bootloader? | 01:54 |
| Ntemis | no | 01:55 |
| Ntemis | i need to clean sda | 01:55 |
| Ntemis | it has 5 partitions | 01:55 |
| Ntemis | they need t go | 01:55 |
| Ntemis | and have one big partition with ext4 | 01:55 |
| Ntemis | all from cmd | 01:55 |
| thawes | you can do that with an install/rescue disk | 01:56 |
| thawes | the ubuntu live disk will give you install, they used to give rescue as well, but not sure if they still do. but for wiping an intire disk and formatting to ext4, the install disk will do just fine | 01:57 |
| Ntemis | am remotely connected | 01:58 |
| Ntemis | and i need to format the hdd | 01:58 |
| Ntemis | tried sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sda | 01:58 |
| Ntemis | answer /dev/sda is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here! | 01:59 |
| Ntemis | now what? | 01:59 |
| thawes | Ntemis: back in the good ol' days, one could do such things with a mere serial connection to the machine | 01:59 |
| thawes | Ntemis: I don't think it can be done on an Ubuntu system set up this way. | 02:00 |
| thawes | If you want to be destructive, you could run fdisk on /dev/sda, and delete all partitions, but you won't get it formatted, and it won't be bootable. You'd have to get to it locally to do anything meaningful. | 02:01 |
| thawes | Ntemis: serial connections are so old now, I don't think you could repartition a disk remotely with any modern Linux distro. You can still do this with Solaris, however. | 02:03 |
| Ntemis | i did it already | 02:03 |
| thawes | hope nobody needed that system | 02:05 |
| wedgie | Ntemis: usually you make a filesystem on a partition, not a whole block device. E.g., /dev/sda1 | 02:08 |
| wedgie | but yeah, trying to format a disk that you are booted from via the network sounds dicey. | 02:09 |
| Ntemis | wedgie: am booted from sdb | 02:09 |
| Ntemis | i formated sda | 02:09 |
| thawes | Ntemis: you need to add a partition to sda in order to use it. As long as you are not booted from sda, you can do this remotely, using fdisk /dev/sda | 02:13 |

| RNeville | Is there a command line tool I can run to see if it will show this newly added harddrive | 02:22 |
| sponix | RNeville: "sudo fdisk -l" | 02:22 |
| RNeville | This new harddrive is not formatted, since I ran Derek's Boot and Nuke on it - bought it through ebay, harddrive that is | 02:23 |
| wedgie | RNeville: then you'll need to create a partition and filesystem on it | 02:24 |
| RNeville | wedgie, don't see this harddrive when I run: sudo fdisk -l | 02:24 |
| wedgie | RNeville: use gparted | 02:25 |
| RNeville | k, wedgie | 02:25 |
| RNeville | thanks | 02:25 |
| wedgie | won't have a partition table to display since the drive has no partitions | 02:25 |
| RNeville | so, no command line tool will show that the drive is at least connected properly to mobo? | 02:26 |
| Ben64 | fdisk should | 02:26 |
| thawes | Ntemis: I don't know, you might be wanting to run update-grub2 if it used to see a Windows partition there | 02:26 |
| thawes | Ntemis: if update-grub2 runs smoothly, I'd say it is safe to reboot | 02:27 |
| themusicgod1 | what can I do to get fsck to not abort? | 02:27 |
| wedgie | RNeville: can look for it in /dev/sd* | 02:27 |

| Ben64 | themusicgod1: don't hit ctrl+c ? | 02:27 |
| Ben64 | whodat: assume april 1st | 02:27 |
| themusicgod1 | I'm not hitting ctrl+c. | 02:27 |
| wedgie | RNeville: and if you want command line, use fdisk to create the partition(s) | 02:27 |
| wedgie | (instead of gparted) | 02:27 |
| themusicgod1 | it aborts this way whether or not i use 'a' | 02:27 |
| themusicgod1 | (to say yes to everything) | 02:27 |
| whodat | Ben64: That's what I'm doing, but I'd like to know for sure. | 02:27 |
| Ben64 | whodat: it's probably somewhere in the middle, why does it matter? don't push it | 02:28 |

| jthunder | so trying to boot an HP server with the ubuntu 14.04 LTS live cd, and having difficulty - what is the option to add to the end of the boot options line to not use gui and just command line? | 02:37 |
| jthunder | single? | 02:37 |
| Ben64 | jthunder: i don't think it's possible on the livecd | 02:38 |
| sndnasdn1 | my problem was fixed by removing my gpu. | 02:38 |
| RNeville | Okay, thanks for everyone help, I have Nautilus showing this new formated Harddrive, but can't write to it | 02:38 |
| Ben64 | themusicgod1: are you trying to run fsck on a mounted filesystem? | 02:38 |
| RNeville | I think the permissions are set for admin - to have write access to it only | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | RNeville: correct | 02:39 |
| themusicgod1 | no | 02:39 |
| themusicgod1 | it is unmounted | 02:39 |
| jthunder | Ben64: was never an option? | 02:39 |
| Capum321 | how do I proceed with digitalization? | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | themusicgod1: what's the output of "mount" | 02:39 |
| RNeville | Next question: how do I reset permissions on this new drive so standard user can move files to it | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | jthunder: just use the server cd... | 02:39 |
| Ben64 | RNeville: where is the drive mounted | 02:40 |
| jthunder | text option? | 02:40 |
| RNeville | just a second Ben6 | 02:40 |
| Ben64 | jthunder: the server iso is all text | 02:40 |

| RNeville | Ben65/ Ben6** | 02:40 |
| jthunder | does it boot into a live environment | 02:40 |
| themusicgod1 | as you can see sda1 isn't there, i can mount it...but since there's fs errors some operations fail | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | jthunder: In the grub boot line replace "quiet splash" with the term text . ctl+x to continue the boot process . | 02:41 |
| Ben64 | themusicgod1: weird | 02:41 |
| RNeville | Ben64, don't know what command to use to determine where this new drive is located | 02:42 |
| Ben64 | mount | 02:43 |
| jthunder | Bashing-om: thanks | 02:43 |
| RNeville | I believe /dev/sdb | 02:43 |
| Ben64 | that's the device | 02:43 |
| themusicgod1 | Ben64: according to source there's like 6-7 spots that can define FSCK_ERR and they should all log a backtrace(?), so recompiled fsck with --enable-backtrace and same result. | 02:43 |

| RNeville | If my new harddrive is /dev/sdb can I mount it using: "mount /dev/sdb /mnt/sdb" ? | 02:49 |
| wedgie | RNeville: no, you need to specify the partition: e.g., /dev/sdb1 | 02:50 |
| RNeville | If my new harddrive is /dev/sdb can I mount it using: "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb" ? | 02:50 |
| Ben64 | if sdb1 is the partition you want to mount | 02:50 |
| RNeville | yes, Ben65 | 02:50 |
| wedgie | looks good, assuming that /mnt/sdb exists | 02:51 |
| RNeville | Ben64/Bend65** | 02:51 |
| RNeville | This drive is already appearing when I run Nautilus, but I don't have correct permissions on the drive to allow standard user access | 02:52 |
| sponix | You all sure you _must_ use partitions with Linux ? I was almost sure you could mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdc && mount /dev/sdc /mnt -- Formatting the base of the device without and mount it without a created partition .. | 02:52 |
| reisio | RNeville: chown! | 02:52 |
| reisio | sponix: IIRC you _can_ do that, yes | 02:52 |
| reisio | not that you'd want to | 02:52 |
| Ben64 | RNeville: well you still never answered my question | 02:52 |
| RNeville | thx reisio | 02:52 |

| reisio | 6? | 02:53 |
| Ben64 | that's a much more important question | 02:53 |
| reisio | oh :p | 02:53 |
| RNeville | yes, sdb1 is only partition I have on this harddrive Ben64 | 02:53 |
| Ben64 | RNeville: no... | 02:53 |
| Ben64 | Feb 07 2017 18:40:01 <Ben64>RNeville: where is the drive mounted | 02:53 |
| reisio | 'mount' | 02:54 |
| RNeville | Using "sudo fdisk -l" it shows sdb, Ben64 | 02:54 |
| Ben64 | omg no | 02:54 |
| reisio | RNeville: 'mount' | 02:55 |
| sponix | RNeville: He means the mount point.. For example my "Crap" drive is mounted at /media/sponix/Crap | 02:55 |
| reisio | well, your Crap FS that's on your crap drive | 02:56 |
| wedgie | RNeville: ''mount | grep sdb'' | 02:56 |
| RNeville | not sure were it is mounted, till me proper command to run, Ben64, and I'll pastesbinit | 02:56 |
| Ben64 | i already did | 02:56 |
| Ben64 | Feb 07 2017 18:42:56 <RNeville>Ben64, don't know what command to use to determine where this new drive is located | 02:56 |

| RNeville | k | 02:56 |
| Ben64 | 16 minutes ago | 02:56 |
| reisio | yeah but he clearly didn't remember that :p | 02:56 |
| Ben64 | or the 3 times people said it in the past 5 minutes | 02:57 |
| sponix | reisio: was that not a good name for where I store my Crap ? | 02:57 |
| Capum321 | how to scan a document? | 02:57 |
| reisio | sponix: might I suggest 'crap' | 02:57 |

| thawes | Ben64:(re) mount -o uid=1000,gid=1000 | 02:59 |
| Ben64 | no | 02:59 |
| thawes | or whatever his uid and gid is based on 'id' | 02:59 |
| Ben64 | nope. | 03:00 |
| reisio | Capum321: you got one page or more? | 03:00 |
| Capum321 | now, there is one page | 03:00 |
| thawes | Ben64: when he boots in windows chown won't be preserved, or at least with the older ntfs, they won't | 03:01 |
| Ben64 | thawes: why are you assuming windows and ntfs | 03:01 |
| RNeville | thanks, thawes, but I decided to us ext4 - for the time being | 03:01 |
| RNeville | will reformat if I decide to duel boot later | 03:02 |
| thawes | Ben64: guess I missed the decision to go with ext4 | 03:02 |
| reisio | Capum321: you just want an image or you want OCR? | 03:02 |

| RNeville | video files/ files** | 03:03 |
| RNeville | hope this makes sense | 03:03 |

| RNeville | I want to ssd to use while video editing - going to use this small drive to hold only current video project, as data drive | 03:05 |
| reisio | it's unlikely that is relevant :D | 03:05 |
| RNeville | I want two ssd/ ssd** | 03:05 |
| RNeville | I just will reformat to ntfs, for this small drive if I want to duel boot and use it as a data drive, reisio | 03:06 |

| rowe | Hey guys and gals. I'm trying to get OpenXcom to work on Wily. It installs to /usr/share, which is root owned. So I can't add the needed files to that folder in order to make the game run. I'm new to Linux, so maybe this is a really easy fix. How do I add files to a root owned directory? | 03:51 |
| steeve149 | hi, how can I update my version of openssl? I've already run sudo apt-get update -y && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y but it appears that I'm still on version 1.0.2g | 03:53 |
| steeve149 | If it makes any difference, I hadn't used the machine I'm on in a while but I used the software updater to get to 16.04 LTS | 03:54 |
| krytarik | !info openssl xenial | 03:55 |
| ubottu | openssl (source: openssl): Secure Sockets Layer toolkit - cryptographic utility. In component main, is standard. Version 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.6 (xenial), package size 494 kB, installed size 991 kB | 03:55 |
| steeve149 | thanks for that! | 03:56 |
| rowe | How can I add files to a folder in /usr/share when it's owned by root? I'm the admin of this computer. | 03:59 |
| PipeItToDevNull | rowe: sudo | 04:00 |
| rowe | I'm new to Linux. So I do it in the terminal instead of the GUI? | 04:00 |
| steeve149 | yep! | 04:01 |
| PipeItToDevNull | rowe: if you want to use GUI you can do `sudo nautilus` in a terminal | 04:01 |
| rowe | Thank you! | 04:01 |
| PipeItToDevNull | That will open terminal as root | 04:01 |
| PipeItToDevNull | nautilus* | 04:01 |
| krytarik | !sudo | rowe | 04:02 |
| ubottu | rowe: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 04:02 |
| Ben64 | ew, shouldn't be doing sudo nautilus | 04:02 |
| rowe | Why not? | 04:02 |
| Ben64 | can cause problems. so what are you trying to add in there? | 04:02 |
| rowe | I'm trying to transfer game files from XCOM UFO to my openxcom install. | 04:03 |
| === bq is now known as Guest13368 | ||
| Ben64 | that doesn't sound like the proper way to do that | 04:04 |
| rowe | openxcom needs the original game files from UFO. Like how Brutal Doom needs a legit .wad | 04:05 |
| Ben64 | i'm not even seeing openxcom in the repositories | 04:05 |
| rowe | http://openxcom.org/git-builds/ is where I got it from | 04:06 |
| Ben64 | ok well i'd recommend using the terminal to copy things | 04:06 |
| rowe | Got ya. Can you point me in the right direction for getting those commands? Like I said, I'm super new. | 04:07 |
| rowe | Getting Ubuntu installed was a challenge for me. | 04:07 |

| wwwi | cfhowlett: -9 is that sigterm? | 06:46 |
| cfhowlett | wwwi, I don't know the terminology, but kill -9 = terminate this process with extreme prejudice immediately! | 06:46 |
| wwwi | cfhowlett: what about killing it as gracefully as possible? | 06:47 |
| cfhowlett | wwwi, killall usually doesn't satisfy my bloodthirsty nature. YMMV. | 06:47 |
| wwwi | cfhowlett: there are various processes named chromium-browse, so, i thought i should kill them all with killall? isnt it this a correct approach? instead i could kill them one by one with kill? | 06:49 |
| cfhowlett | wwwi, yep killall chromium *should* do the trick | 06:49 |
| wwwi | cfhowlett: ok, but i am having another problem, chromium-browse is exactly 15 characters, i should use killall -e chromium-browse or system might kill anything starting with c? | 06:50 |
| cfhowlett | wwwi, sounds right | 06:51 |
| wwwi | because command name is actually chromium-browser which is 16 characters, but it doesn't show at the terminal, e.g. at ps | 06:52 |

| peszi | Hey, Can someone please help me? I've installed Nvidia driver on Ubuntu 16.04, which worked great as long as I plugged in a second screen | 08:17 |
| peszi | then, the screens get extremely weird. | 08:18 |
| peszi | for example in nvidia-settings the laptop screen is not recognized, only the external screen | 08:18 |
| hateball | peszi: what does "then" entail | 08:18 |
| peszi | after plugging in the second screen, it is both recognized as the "built-in display" and the "external screen" | 08:19 |
| hateball | peszi: can you see all screens when you run "xrandr" ? | 08:19 |
| peszi | well, I am not sure what i see to be honest | 08:20 |
| peszi | Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3520 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384 | 08:21 |
| Psychonaut | Mtrz, try unofficial build of ubuntu from http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/ made specifically for bay tail cpu | 08:21 |
| peszi | LVDS-0, DP-0,1,2 are disconnected | 08:21 |
| peszi | DP-3 is connected | 08:21 |

| peszi | http://paste.ubuntu.com/23953102/ | 08:22 |
| peszi | actually, now the screen seems to work good | 08:22 |
| peszi | but my only problem is that if i want to switch the position of the screens, it gets crazy again | 08:23 |
| peszi | if the external screen is on the right to the built-in it is fine | 08:24 |
| peszi | but if I want to switch them, it's crazy | 08:24 |
| hateball | peszi: is this ubuntu with unity, or some other DE? | 08:26 |
| peszi | but i can switch the position of the screens only by using ubuntu's Display program | 08:27 |
| peszi | because I do not see the built in display in nvidia-settings | 08:27 |
| peszi | hateball: can you please tell me how I can check if I have ubuntu with unity or not? | 08:28 |
| Mtrz | Psychonaut: thanks for the suggestion - that patch is actually how I've got it working this well | 08:28 |

| hateball | peszi: Right, then I dont know what could be up. I use Kubuntu (Plasma) myself and it has issues with multimonitor in default 16.04 | 08:29 |

| peszi | and one dedicated, an nvidia gpu | 08:33 |
| peszi | ##ubuntu | 08:34 |
| hateball | peszi: I do not dabble with hybrid GPUs I'm afraid | 08:35 |
| hateball | peszi: are you using nvidia-367 with nvidia-prime? or some other combination? | 08:35 |
| hateball | all I know is that later nvidia drivers (there's a PPA) have better support for the hybrid stuff as well | 08:35 |
| peszi | hateball: yes, nvidia-367 with prime | 08:36 |
| hateball | peszi: were it me, I'd test with nvidia-378 from PPA and see if that helps things. It will move your xorg.conf to a backup tho, so you'd need to recreate that either manually or with the nvidia tools | 08:37 |
| peszi | alright, i will see :) | 08:38 |
| peszi | thank you for your help! | 08:38 |

| rst0aic | hello | 08:57 |
| student | http://termbin.com/65lo hey what are the newest drivers avalible for gma 900 on ubuntu 16.04 ,according to wikipedia the mesa driver should have 2.1 opengl renderer | 08:59 |
| student | https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM2MTA | 09:00 |
| k1l | !bug | cult- | 09:00 |
| ubottu | cult-: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. | 09:00 |
| student | at least fro gma 900 | 09:00 |
| === Conna is now known as ConnaSiapaItu | ||
| cult- | ubottu: the problem it is only related to 16.04, the binaries are broken because they have been built with different flags. | 09:01 |
| Ben64 | student: the latest drivers are in the kernel, you got em already | 09:01 |
| lukma | Dear all, | 09:01 |
| lukma | Is there a way to compare two linux zImages with e.g. sha1, or md5sum ? | 09:01 |
| k1l | cult-: doesnt matter. you can file bug against packages for specific releases | 09:02 |
| Ben64 | lukma: you can compare anything with sha1sum or md5sum, not sure what you mean besides that | 09:02 |
| lukma | Linux binary also includes the time of building | 09:02 |
| cult- | ubuntu-bug libodb-dev for xenial 16.04, more info: http://www.codesynthesis.com/pipermail/odb-users/2016-May/003280.html | 09:02 |
| lukma | so when I build two binaries at different times - simple md5sum will not work | 09:03 |
| k1l | cult-: run that command on your system. it will collect the data from your system and open your browser to add comments/info to the bugreport | 09:03 |
| lukma | my goal is to clean up the Kconfig mess without loosing functionality | 09:03 |
| cult- | k1l: its not a crash report | 09:04 |
| cult- | it doesn't collect anything | 09:04 |
| brisingrrr | I'm looking for an online text-editor that in-built python libraries/modules. What do you guys recommend?\ | 09:04 |
| cult- | its a broken binary for a development package | 09:04 |
| villain | anyone have experience debugging issues with the predictable device naming in 16.04? | 09:04 |
| k1l | cult-: yes. but still launchpad.net is where bugs get filed. not matter if they result in a crash or just miss compile flags or such | 09:05 |
| Ben64 | villain: nope | 09:05 |
| villain | when 16.04 renames some of my network cards, they stop passing traffic entirely | 09:05 |
| Ben64 | villain: would help if you explained your issue though | 09:05 |
| lukma | Ben64: Has anybody tries to do that? | 09:05 |
| Ben64 | lukma: not that i know of | 09:05 |
| villain | disabling the persistent renaming fixes the issue | 09:05 |
| cult- | k1l: do i need an account to file this report? | 09:05 |
| k1l | cult-: it doesnt make sense to spread bug reports all over different locations. so they all get collected on launchpad.net. that is what "bug-report" automates | 09:06 |
| Ben64 | villain: it doesn't rename your cards in the middle of the day though, so your assertion doesn't really make sense | 09:06 |
| k1l | cult-: yes, on launchpad.net | 09:06 |
| villain | Ben64: if i boot the box with persistent renaming enabled (eth1 renaming to ens...), no traffic passes through the nics | 09:06 |
| villain | if i boot with it disabled (ethX stays as ethX), traffic passes fine | 09:07 |
| k1l | villain: could depend on the way you setup the interfaces | 09:07 |
| Ben64 | that's entirely different than "when [it gets renamed], they stop passing traffic" | 09:07 |
| villain | k11: this is with no setup, straight after a standard install | 09:07 |
| villain | as soon as ubuntu starts its boot, the link light disappears from the nic entirely | 09:08 |
| cult- | k1l: i found a bug report already and this simple yet annoying issue didn't get solved: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libodb/+bug/1588330 | 09:08 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1588330 in libodb (Ubuntu) "Incompatible builds of libodb and libodb-mysql" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 09:08 |

| Tendies | Hi, I'm trying to have my default terminal emulator set as urxvt so that when I use Ctrl+Alt+T it will open a terminal with urxvt. I've used the profile option to run a command instead of my shell, however it will open a default terminal and then open urxvt, leaving the default one open. How can I make only the urxvt one open? | 09:13 |
| k1l | cult-: trigger rebuild is only possible as pacakge maintainer. and since 16.04 is released you will need a stable release update excemption maybe | 09:13 |
| luka__ | . | 09:13 |
| cult- | k1l: but the package maintainer is not responding | 09:14 |

| PaulePanter | Hi. | 09:26 |
| k1l | wwwi: what programs? | 09:26 |
| PaulePanter | On Ubuntu 16.04 ureadahead.service is listed as failed. | 09:26 |
| wwwi | k1l: firefoz, text editors | 09:26 |
| PaulePanter | I was told by TUXEDO support, that is because, it’s just used for upstart. | 09:26 |
| PaulePanter | I don’t really believe that though. | 09:27 |
| PaulePanter | Any confirmations. | 09:27 |
| PaulePanter | ? | 09:27 |
| k1l | wwwi: usually its kill -TERM pid. but x programs are not designed to listen for TERM but a xserver command | 09:27 |
| k1l | wwwi: wmctrl could be a way to gracefully kill x programs | 09:28 |
| Tendies | PaulePanter: man ureadahead | 09:28 |
| Tendies | looks like they weren't joking to me | 09:29 |
| k1l | PaulePanter: 16.04 uses systemd. but some services still use upstart wrapper or sysvinit wrapper since they still not ported to systemd | 09:29 |
| k1l | wwwi: wmctrl -xl will list the windows and you can close them with wmctrl -xc program.Program from that list. | 09:30 |
| wwwi | k1l: so, what about chromium? i killed it with kill, the window still survived? | 09:31 |
| Tendies | and thanks al2o3-cr | 09:31 |
| cult- | k1l: i want to get this solved, is there anything i can do? | 09:31 |
| al2o3-cr | Tendies: np | 09:31 |
| hateball | wwwi: probably because you didnt kill all processes it spawns | 09:31 |

| newuser2 | lotuspsychje: unfortunetly, what that asker wants to change is the behavior I want. For what it's worth, I've already tried gnome-tweek-tool, but whatever I set seems to be completely ignored by ubuntu. | 09:53 |

| wwwi | lotuspsychje: libre calc, kate, files are open, but saved, if i just copy them, can they become corrupt? | 09:59 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: when a system freezes, open files could be damaged or lost sometimes yes | 09:59 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: but the act of copying them, could corrupt them? | 10:00 |
| brainwash | cableguy: and none of them were moved up? | 10:01 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: not sure i fully understand, your system freezed? how will you copy? | 10:01 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: the gui froze, but real terminal works fine, pc works fine in the background, i can see it with top | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: ah, i see if your file is saved correctly and you copy the file, why would it corrupt? | 10:02 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: if you loose files anyway, there's always photorec to recover data if you need | 10:04 |
| cableguy | brainwash, no | 10:04 |

| lotuspsychje | spaceninja: sudo apt update | 10:13 |

| lotuspsychje | wwwi: did you sudo? | 10:25 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: ok, i did sudo now. now i see the new drive with details in the list, but it doesnt say anything if it is mounted, actually i cant see anything about other drives being mounted too | 10:27 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: try sudo unmount /dev/sdd if your files are saved correctly | 10:28 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: i havent saved anything yet, i cant see the drive in the media directory | 10:28 |

| k1l_ | nikolam: what command did you use exactly? | 10:38 |
| lotuspsychje | delphinny: ubuntu version? graphics card chipset? driver active? | 10:38 |
| nikolam | seems also that oflag=direct does not work with dd. sudo dd if=xubuntu-16.04-desktop-i386.iso bs=8192 of=/dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0 | 10:39 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: maybe, i need to mount the usb stick at this point? | 10:39 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: i would reboot | 10:39 |
| k1l_ | nikolam: i dont know what /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0 is, but you need to dd to the bare metal, not to a partition | 10:40 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: why not get backups first? | 10:40 |
| delphinny | lotus: ubuntu 16.04 LTS and its onboard video, I think its a Xeon E3-1200 .. driver active I dont know how do I check? | 10:40 |
| k1l_ | nikolam: and only use the 32bit iso when you have a 32bit only cpu. | 10:40 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: your trying things a weird way, a gui freezed with open files trying to copy without being able to close them | 10:40 |
| nikolam | k1l_, it's solaris raw disk designation, trying to make Ubuntu USB flash bootable, from downloaded ISO, using dd on Solaris/illumos (Openindiana) | 10:40 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: but copying them, even if they are open, shouldnt be ok? | 10:41 |
| delphinny | lotuspsychje: | 10:42 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: i wouldnt trust to copy an open file | 10:43 |

| spaceninja | lotuspsychje: which program coud be running? | 10:45 |

| lotuspsychje | delphinny: sudo lshw -C video | 10:45 |
| nikolam | I would like to know if I can do syslinux , to make bootable USB drive, by using dd instead of having to start syslinux command (since i dont' have syslinux package here) | 10:46 |
| delphinny | lotuspsychje: I get two entries from that | 10:47 |
| lotuspsychje | delphinny: whats behind driver= ? | 10:47 |
| k1l_ | nikolam: when using dd you dont need todo anything to the iso. that is the idea behind the hybrid isos. | 10:47 |
| k1l_ | nikolam: so i guess the dd doesnt work properly, the iso is corrupt or the machine got issues booting it. | 10:48 |
| nikolam | okwaho, will retest if it boots again. | 10:48 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: just reboot | 10:48 |

I just installed ubuntu 16.04 and i'm setting it up as a dev machine, but I run into a problem, in terminal the urls that show there, don't open the browser correctly "x-www-browser URL" works correctly but the others don't, so my question is this, how do I change the default command for terminal to open webbrowser (I have installed google chrome) | 10:49 |
| delphinny | lotuspsychje: dont see driver= | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | delphinny: card shows unclaimed? | 10:50 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: i dont think copying the open file should be a problem. its not being changing and is saved | 10:50 |
| lotuspsychje | wwwi: ok, its your machine..just try then? | 10:51 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: yes, but the new usb drive is not mounted. i just create a new folder in media and mount the usb stick there? and when i unmount it, the folder will still exist and visible in the gui later as an empty drive? and if i plug the usb again, through gui, i will get a new temporary folder in media | 10:53 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: ? | 10:53 |
| wwwi | lotuspsychje: i entered lsblk and the drive doesnt have a folder | 10:54 |

| glosoli | Hey, how could one reset computer with Encrypted Ubuntu install without knowing a password for that user ? basically I bought Dell XPS and returned it back to the shop, they claim they need my personal password in order to take in computer to do proper reset | 11:33 |
| numnum | hi what is the diffrence between traceroute and tracepath? | 11:34 |
| ashii | solved my problem | 11:34 |
| Wadjenes | glosoli: it's possible to bypass that and reinstall with a disk of the OS, no need to take it to some place | 11:35 |
| Wadjenes | such as a usb/cd you booted from | 11:35 |
| glosoli | Wadjenes nah I mean I have it back using my 2 weeks guarantee in Europe | 11:35 |
| numnum | o/ | 11:35 |
| glosoli | Wadjenes and they claim they need my password to reset it | 11:35 |
| k1l_ | glosoli: you dont want to keep that data? | 11:35 |
| glosoli | k1l_ no | 11:35 |
| k1l_ | then just tell them to reinstall | 11:35 |
| Wadjenes | ^ | 11:35 |
| hateball | glosoli: There's no need for a password if you wipe/reinstall | 11:35 |

| deanman | Hi I'm looking ways on how to install "apt update indicator" as seen here -> https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1139/apt-update-indicator/. Is there a PPA or a way to install on a Xenial release? | 11:41 |
| k1l_ | numnum: since you seem to be very impatient i found a askubuntu question that asked exact the same question as yours and has a very detailed answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/114264/what-are-the-significant-differences-between-tracepath-and-traceroute next time you could search and find that easily if its that important to you? | 11:41 |
| Wadjenes | ^ same lol | 11:41 |
| numnum | im sorry u r right | 11:41 |
| k1l_ | deanman: are you using gnome-shell? | 11:42 |
| deanman | k1l_, I think I'm using the default one, Unity? | 11:43 |
| k1l_ | deanman: then this gnome-shell thing will not work for you | 11:43 |
| deanman | k1l_, Yes I'm aware, some have been ported over to unity, like system load indicator. That's why I'm asking whether anyone had any hints for me since from google couldn't find any PPA repo. | 11:44 |
| k1l_ | this is a list of some well known indicators: http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available is there something similar to that? | 11:45 |
| k1l_ | iirc the gui updater will make a notification and/or indicator when updates are to be insatlled. | 11:46 |
| deanman | k1l_, yes that's right, looks like a feature i would like | 11:47 |
| deanman | k1l_, there seems to be a package associated with it, packagekit-tools. Do i need to restart the machine to see it? | 11:49 |
| deanman | ah sorry wrong remark, this is just a supporting lib. | 11:49 |

| wwwi | hello, gui is frozen, killed chromium that seem the culprit, gui is still frozen with chromium trying to exit full screen? is there still something i can do to unfroze the gui? and can i tell the os to gracefully close open application, and then reboot? i have access to the real terminal | 11:54 |
| wwwi | sorry, no question at first question, just a fullstop | 11:54 |
| BluesKaj | wwwi: try F11 with chromium | 11:56 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: as i said hours ago: wmctrl | 11:58 |
| wwwi | BluesKaj: can that help? i already asked chromium to exit with kill -1 and it exited, there are no more chromium processes, just chromium's screen on gui trying to exiting fullscreen | 11:59 |
| wwwi | k1l_: apt-get wmctrl? | 11:59 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: no. apt-get doesnt have a wmctrl option | 12:00 |
| wwwi | k1l_: so, how do i install that? | 12:00 |
| Aaryan | Hello World | 12:00 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: sudo apt install packagename #to install packages | 12:01 |
| wwwi | k1l_: wmctrl is a package too? | 12:01 |
| delphinny | whenever I plug in my HDMI cable into my computer I get logged out of Xwindows and it goes crazy, I am thinking it isnt liking my drivers that are for onboard video | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | !info wmctrl | 12:02 |
| ubottu | wmctrl (source: wmctrl): control an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.07-7 (yakkety), package size 20 kB, installed size 78 kB | 12:02 |
| jsyntax | #hacking | 12:02 |
| wwwi | k1l_: but wmctrl wont require reboot, before it works? | 12:02 |
| k1l_ | i dont know. but you dont have another chance to close gui apps gracefully | 12:03 |
| wwwi | k1l_: so, i killed chromium, but its window is still in the gui, so the window is some other process that still runs in x server? | 12:04 |
| Wadjenes | anyone customized their ubuntu setup? if so what software did you use? | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: chromium has more than one process. | 12:04 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: and are you sure only chromium is crashed? and not the whole desktop? | 12:05 |
| wwwi | k1l_: i am not sure if just chromium crashed and not the whole desktop. but terminal works fine | 12:05 |
| wwwi | k1l_: but i dont know if whole desktop crashed, the processes of the open applications still run | 12:06 |
| wwwi | k1l_: so, i killed parent chromium process and the children vanished along with the parent, possible that some other process controls the chromium window or whole gui crashed, that why left bar and chromium are unresponsive? mouse still moves | 12:08 |

| wwwi | anubisno1: sudo reboot will gracefully close open applications and processes? | 12:22 |
| anubisno1 | it will close them yeah | 12:22 |
| wwwi | anubisno1: gracefully, or force them to terminally, like abrubtly? | 12:23 |
| anubisno1 | where do i need to look for porn, what chanels? | 12:23 |

| anubisno1 | hello | 12:26 |

| ppf | !google | anubisno1 | 12:26 |
| ubottu | anubisno1: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 12:26 |

| anubisno1 | oh wait! I can use google | 12:26 |
| hateball | basiclaser: Does your new drive have any partitions? | 12:26 |
| basiclaser | i just wrote it as an ntfs | 12:27 |
| anubisno1 | c ya | 12:27 |
| basiclaser | im using ubuntu server | 12:27 |
| basiclaser | so having to mount with 'mount' i assume to media/usb for example, but then i can't open media/usb | 12:28 |
| basiclaser | its not writeable | 12:28 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: no it will not gracefully close the programs | 12:29 |
| hateball | basiclaser: well you'd need to mount it with options such that your regular user can write to it, if you sudo mount | 12:30 |
| basiclaser | -o rw right? | 12:30 |
| ppf | file browsers like nautilus can do all those mounting things properly for you | 12:30 |
| hateball | basiclaser: if you just run "mount" what does the line for your external hdd say? | 12:30 |
| basiclaser | i only have cli | 12:30 |
| ppf | in case you don't really want to do it yourself | 12:30 |
| ppf | alright | 12:30 |
| wwwi | k1l_: so, it will just gracefully close the background processes and forcefully terminate open desktop applications? | 12:30 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: for gui programs wmctrl is your only chance. if the desktop is not responding. | 12:31 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: and it still depends on the programs you are talking about. there is no guarantee you can save your opened data. | 12:32 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: some programs do have fallback and autosafe settings. | 12:32 |
| wwwi | k1l_: there is no guarantee that unsaved work will be saved, right? but saved work should be fine, with wmctrl? | 12:33 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: if you saved your work already there is no issue to kill the program | 12:33 |
| wwwi | k1l_: but if i just kill the programs, can they corrupt the open files, although they are saved? | 12:35 |
| k1l_ | i dont think so | 12:36 |
| k1l_ | you could copy the data to another place to be sure | 12:36 |
| puddle | hey I have a bunch of datasets (csv,tsv,txt...) and a lot of them contains millions of line.

Could somsone help me in which terminal command/tool could do this and how? | 12:39 |
| wwwi | k1l_: thanks | 12:39 |
| basiclaser | hateball: type ntfs | 12:44 |
| hateball | basiclaser: right, but you are accessing this partition as a regular user and not using sudo? then you'd want to supply options to mount pointing out which user/group | 12:46 |

| k1l_ | ahsan_: look at the readme from that project. most times you need to compile it | 12:50 |
| ahsan_ | please help me with vlc. | 12:50 |
| k1l_ | ahsan_: is there a reason for cloning git? what is wrong with the version ubuntu ships or with the vlc team ppa? | 12:50 |

| k1l_ | ahsan_: is there a reason you need that version and cant use the ubuntu one? | 12:52 |

| k1l_ | ahsan: i still think compiling is not needed here. but you keep ignoring my questions for more info. | 13:01 |
| ahsan | k1l: actually i want to modify the code and install it | 13:02 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: then do it and compile the program afterwards. | 13:02 |
| ahsan | how to compile it. when i configure it it says that it miss some dependencies and i am not able to fix it | 13:04 |
| k1l_ | details matter. show the errors on paste.ubuntu.com and link it here | 13:04 |
| ahsan | k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23954181/ | 13:06 |
| hateball | basiclaser: right, like I said, what does it say when you run only "mount" ? does it say rw or ro? | 13:07 |
| hateball | basiclaser: also what are you actually trying to do, looks like you are trying to move stuff? | 13:07 |
| basiclaser | hateball: ro | 13:07 |
| basiclaser | hateball: yeh transfer files to external | 13:07 |
| hateball | basiclaser: remount it rw then | 13:07 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: configure: error: Missing libav or FFmpeg | 13:08 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: so isntall one of that? | 13:08 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: i bet vlc does name the dependencies in the readme. so please read that | 13:08 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: it will be way faster that just try and error | 13:09 |
| ahsan | k1l: i have already installed ffmpeg | 13:10 |
| mcphail | ahsan: one way to cheat and get all/most of the dependencies installed would be "apt-get build-dep vlc" | 13:10 |
| basiclaser | hateball: ok done now i can get in the drive, permission denied , and if i use 'sudo cd' i get 'command not found' | 13:10 |
| mcphail | ahsan: that will pull all the dependencies needed for the _ubuntu_ version. it may not be all that is required for the git version | 13:11 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: did you or did you not read the readme? | 13:11 |
| ahsan | k1l: i read that | 13:12 |
| hateball | ahsan: for compiling you will need the -dev packages, something you should be aware of if you think you should be compiling in the first place | 13:13 |
| ioria | ahsan, it is probably looking for the -dev packages (or for other version of ffmpeg) | 13:13 |
| ahsan | hateball: how can i get those dev packages and paste them to sources.list manually?? | 13:14 |
| royal_screwup21 | I'm looking for a file that has the word "xyz" in it. What's the easiest way to do this? | 13:14 |
| k1l_ | !info libavcodec-dev | 13:15 |
| ubottu | libavcodec-dev (source: ffmpeg): FFmpeg library with de/encoders for audio/video codecs - development files. In component universe, is optional. Version 7:3.0.5-0ubuntu0.16.10.1 (yakkety), package size 4450 kB, installed size 15204 kB | 13:15 |
| hateball | ahsan: surely the documentation tells you this | 13:15 |
| Pavr | royal_screwup21, grep xyz [file or dir] | 13:15 |
| hateball | royal_screwup21: grep -r, if you want to do it recursively | 13:17 |
| ioria | ahsan, but you'll still have a lot of wanings, it wont stop the compiling, but you might have trouble in future, when you'll try to use some features | 13:17 |
| groundze1o | hello need help...i always see in nethogs "/usr/bin/tor" .. i deinstalled tor..torbrowser-launcher etc...how do i block these connection??? | 13:17 |
| royal_screwup21 | Thank you, Pavr, hateball! | 13:17 |
| ahsan | ioria: how to compile after configure | 13:17 |
| Pavr | ahsan, what changes are you making to vlc? | 13:18 |
| ioria | ahsan, you chose the worst pkg to start learning .... :] ... btw is make ... | 13:18 |
| Pavr | ahsan, if you don't mind me asking :) | 13:19 |
| k1l_ | !compile | ahsan | 13:19 |
| ubottu | ahsan: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 13:19 |
| ahsan | parv: make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | 13:19 |
| groundze1o | and..when /usr/bin/tor sends data..and i do kill the process in htop, the whole system cracks down...wtf | 13:20 |
| k1l_ | ahsan: as i said often, it might be better to use precompiled packages. but on your way you have to read and learn a lot now. it will not be just run 2 commands and it works. | 13:20 |
| ahsan | pavr: | 13:22 |
| groundze1o | !whois | 13:22 |
| Pavr | ahsan, ? | 13:22 |

| pebkac_notreally | Just installed Ubuntu and now my rig won't boot... gets stuck verifying dmi pool data... tried to reinstall thinking something got corrupt but no joy... any other ideas? | 13:28 |
| ioria | ahsan, still errors, you don't have a Makefile to run make | 13:29 |
| ioria | ahsan, as it says --disable-avcodec to ignore this error (does not sound good, anyways) | 13:30 |
| hateball | pebkac_notreally: is this a dual boot, single boot, uefi, etc? | 13:30 |
| hateball | !details | pebkac_notreally | 13:30 |
| ubottu | pebkac_notreally: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. | 13:30 |
| ahsan | ioria: can u give me example of some project which dont need so much dependencies to try compiling | 13:31 |
| ioria | ahsan, a text editor ? :þ | 13:31 |
| pebkac_notreally | Right-o. Single boot on a SSD, blew away a windows 10 install... not a clue if its UEFI. Ditched encryption attempts after the first install didn't work (not sure if relevant). | 13:32 |
| ahsan | ioria: which one? emacs vim nano? | 13:32 |
| ioria | ahsan, wait.... maybe i don't get your goal | 13:33 |
| pebkac_notreally | No real errors or anything useful. The install runs great and then indicates to remove install media and hit enter which I do. It goes for a reboot and during the bootup gets stuck on "Verifying DMI Pool Data". Even left it overnight in case it wanted to do some thinking or something. | 13:33 |
| hateball | pebkac_notreally: is it using uefi and even secure boot? or are you using legacy bios? | 13:33 |
| ioria | ahsan, if you use ubuntu , use it as it has been thought | 13:34 |
| pebkac_notreally | No encryption on the latest install. I believe its using legacy bios? | 13:34 |
| hateball | pebkac_notreally: if you intend to single-boot, you might wanna consider changing to legacy boot if it is currently using uefi, then reinstall | 13:35 |
| hateball | It should work with uefi, but... meh | 13:35 |
| ioria | ahsan, if you want lean c or c++ or java , then start with a tutorial and in few weeks you'll get the point of what you're doing right now | 13:36 |

| ioria | ahsan, why did you run make if configure ddn't tell you that a Makefile has been created ? | 13:39 |
| ahsan | ioria: I get it there is a mismatch of version of libavcodec | 13:39 |

| Homely_Girl | Hi, can somebody plse help me, was messing with my display settings n I hid my menu bar n dunno how to get it back!!! | 13:46 |
| ChadTaljaardt | can someone pelase help me downgrade bazel. I cant continue with my Honours project until i get it sorted :/a | 13:47 |
| Homely_Girl | I'm on my mobile phone so plse be patient with me | 13:47 |
| ChadTaljaardt | Homely_Girl what menu bar? | 13:47 |
| Homely_Girl | With all my programmes on it, I think it's called dash?? | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | ChadTaljaardt: usually you dont donwgrade | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: you mean the launcher bar on the left? | 13:48 |
| ChadTaljaardt | k1l_ i need to, the software im using wont work with the latest version of bazel. https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/4748 | 13:48 |
| Homely_Girl | ChadTaljaardt: the one with all my applications | 13:48 |
| ChadTaljaardt | the answer is there i just dont know how to do it | 13:48 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: and hiding the launcher is a different thing than changing display settings | 13:49 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: start unity-tweak-tool and make it unhide again= | 13:49 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Yes I think I've hidden it, how do I get it back please? | 13:50 |
| j4f-shredder_ | everytime I connect with the postgres user to ssh I loose the service and I have to reinstall it | 13:50 |
| j4f-shredder_ | I don't know why | 13:50 |
| k1l_ | ChadTaljaardt: i dont know any of those 2 projects. i guess you should ask bazel if they can solve the issue differently or what version is to be used. then you need to manually install that | 13:51 |
| k1l_ | <k1l_> Homely_Girl: start unity-tweak-tool and make it unhide again= | 13:51 |
| IhrFussel | Ubuntu 16.04: For some reason nano asks me if I want to "continue" the editing when I try to open a certain file but there are NO nano processes running...no matter if i say yes/no/cancel it throws me back to the terminal with a whole bunch of error codes | 13:51 |
| k1l_ | IhrFussel: is there a "backup" file on the same folder? | 13:52 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: How do I do that, I'm not that geeky lol | 13:52 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: start the "unity-tweak-tool" program and change the setting? | 13:52 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: that is nothing geekly or difficult. | 13:53 |
| IhrFussel | k1l_, first 2 lines "fab7df49000 r--p 00000000 09:01 7210137 /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/nano.mo" | 13:53 |
| IhrFussel | Yes there is a .save file | 13:53 |
| k1l_ | IhrFussel: rename that .save file i guess | 13:53 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: I have a blank desktop but do know how to open a terminal | 13:53 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: so you dont even have a panel at the top? | 13:54 |
| IhrFussel | That save file is an old one through...I guess it got created in the past when I opened it with gedit once | 13:54 |
| IhrFussel | though* | 13:54 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: becaue it might be you didnt just "change the display settings" but messed with the video driver so the desktop doesnt work properly now. | 13:55 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: nope | 13:55 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: ok, doe the guest account work properly? | 13:55 |
| k1l_ | IhrFussel: did you remove/rename it and tried again? | 13:55 |
| Anticom | Homely_Girl: usually you should be able to open a term using CTRL+ALT-T | 13:56 |
| k1l_ | IhrFussel: because it sounds like its trying to open the fallback .save file. and since its not a nano one its breaking nano. so please rename it so nano is not trying to open it. | 13:56 |
| Homely_Girl | killtheliterate: I don't have access to anything, can't run anything now menu is gone, my laptop logs me in automatically | 13:57 |
| IhrFussel | k1l_, I removed the .save file but there's another .swp | 13:57 |
| k1l_ | IhrFussel: rename that too | 13:57 |
| wwwi | hello | 13:59 |
| wwwi | is sudo reboot a clean reboot? | 13:59 |
| Anticom | IhrFussel: afaik, .swp's are from vim | 13:59 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: open a terminal with alt-ctrl-t then run "gnome-session-quit" in there | 13:59 |
| Anticom | wwwi: define "clean" | 13:59 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: its still not saving your opened data | 13:59 |
| IhrFussel | k1l_, THANKS it works again | 13:59 |
| wwwi | does it unmount drives and does whatever is supposed to be clean? | 13:59 |
| raub | To run skype in pidgin I see pidgin-skype, which is in the default repos, and pidgin-skypeweb which requires a PPA. Should I pick the PPA one per http://askubuntu.com/questions/9065/how-to-integrate-skype-into-pidgin ? | 13:59 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: yes | 14:00 |
| wwwi | k1l_: that's ok about the data, i dont have any unsaved data, by the way i tried the wmctrl, but it wont install | 14:00 |
| wwwi | so, sudo reboot is like a reboot from the gui? | 14:01 |
| raub | wwwi: yep | 14:02 |
| Anticom | wwwi: afaik it's not **exactly** the same but more or less yes | 14:02 |
| raub | Anticom: I would expect it to call reboot or shutdown in the end of the show | 14:02 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: it tebooted, asked 4 my password n it's still menu less 😖 | 14:02 |
| Anticom | raub: sure, but iirc unity has some own (weird) wrappers arround that | 14:02 |
| Anticom | raub: so TL;DR; is yes | 14:03 |
| wwwi | ok, thanks. i just tried, and i got message please retry after clossing inhibitors and logging out other users | 14:03 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: no. you need to logout and choose guest account to test if its a systemwide issue or if its just your user setting. | 14:03 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: is there a way to get into settings via terminal? | 14:03 |
| wwwi | so, how do i do those? | 14:03 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: try with "gnome-session-save --force-logout" | 14:03 |
| raub | wwwi: I thought the GUI one would also ask to logout the other suers | 14:03 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Aaah, I'll try now ta | 14:04 |
| wwwi | sudo reboot, from terminal, not the gui | 14:04 |

| raub | Anticom: I think shutdown -r will not do handholding | 14:06 |
| k1l_ | wwwi: sudo reboot can take a bit | 14:06 |
| wwwi | Anticom: but what are those inhibitores and who are those other users, services? | 14:06 |
| Anticom | wwwi: dunno what machine you're working on? is it your PC is it a server etc. ? | 14:07 |
| raub | wwwi: "who" should tell you who is around in said machine | 14:07 |
| Anticom | who -a is even better :> | 14:08 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: ok, then please do "sudo systemctl restart lightdm.service" | 14:08 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: this is just an easy test to see if just the user is messed up or the whole system | 14:08 |
| wwwi | raub its me in the gui, me in the real terminal and the guess | 14:09 |
| wwwi | raub the guest | 14:09 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Is there a way to create a guest user acc from terminal? | 14:09 |
| Anticom | wwwi: then you've just locked guest account and not properly logged out | 14:09 |
| Anticom | wwwi: so sudo reboot -f | 14:09 |
| Anticom | finito (: | 14:10 |
| wwwi | Anticom: but does the -f will result in a unclean reboot? | 14:10 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: there should be the option to choose the guest user on the login screen. dont login to your user, we know that is broken | 14:10 |
| wwwi | since i killed the desktop applications, i can just restart the gui, right? | 14:11 |
| Anticom | wwwi: good question, man page actually doesn't clearly say anything about that | 14:11 |
| raub | wwwi: It will tell every running application to shut down and kick out all users. Then it will go through the normal rebooting procedures. It is not like just pulling the power cord. | 14:11 |

| aruns | Hi, running Vim 7.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 Vagrant box (using version 0.6.0 of Laravel Homestead), and I am trying to configure clipboard support for Vim, tried sudo apt-get install -y vim-gnome which seems to have downloaded the package, and have clipboard sharing enabled on VBox between guest and host (host is Mac OS X 10.11.6 - El Capitan) | 14:14 |
| raub | But is still not like yaking th epower cable... which I have done before. :-" | 14:14 |
| wwwi | Anticom: 15, but i will upgrade | 14:14 |
| aruns | And I can yank text in Vim, but I can't do something like "+y to yank to the system clipboard. | 14:15 |
| aruns | And running whereis vim-gnome just gives me vim-gnome: as output | 14:15 |
| Anticom | wwwi: 15 hasn't migrated to systemd, right? | 14:15 |
| k1l_ | Anticom: sure it has | 14:15 |
| aruns | How can I enable clipboard support? | 14:15 |
| aruns | Something I am doing wrong? | 14:15 |
| k1l_ | Anticom: but ubuntu 15.04 and 15.10 are dead already | 14:15 |
| Anticom | wwwi: well then `systemctl reboot` is the way to go anyway | 14:15 |

| k1l_ | *where | 14:17 |
| xharx | I tried to add the user to the group vide, but no effect | 14:18 |
| xharx | what else can I do? | 14:18 |
| Anticom | wwwi: well of course you can still do the things via GUI. Just wanted to let you know that with systemd halting / rebooting etc. is also managed by systemctl | 14:18 |
| k1l_ | xharx: on ubuntu you start the *dm, like lightdm | 14:18 |
| k1l_ | xharx: that will start the xserver and such | 14:18 |
| Anticom | afaik the reboot / shutdown commands are only aliases for systemd based systems anymore but could be wrong there | 14:18 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: I logged back in as me, no menu ..... Now wot? | 14:18 |
| xharx | I know, but i have to tweek, because x starts in a bad mode | 14:18 |
| xharx | its rotated and cant be fixed with xrandr | 14:19 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: did you rename the .config dir? | 14:19 |
| wwwi | Anticom: so, reboot -f doesnt do things like unmounting drives? | 14:19 |
| raub | k1l_: How do you start the dm that runs xfce? | 14:19 |
| Anticom | wwwi: i honnestly don't know | 14:19 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: no I missed that bit sorry | 14:19 |
| raub | Automatically I mean; right now I am using startx | 14:19 |
| wwwi | Anticom: ok | 14:19 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: How do I do that? | 14:20 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: that is the point of changin to the tty1 to rename that folder. but now you can start a terminal with ctrl+alt+t and run "nautilus". then rename the .config folder. then logout again | 14:20 |
| xharx | i have stopped lightdm with sudo service lightdm stop | 14:20 |
| Anticom | wwwi: however if it's really the guest user blocking you from rebooting w/o -f flag. look up user using who, then do something like sudo pkill -KILL -u <username> | 14:20 |
| Anticom | that should log him out | 14:20 |
| Anticom | and hence make reboot cmd happy again | 14:20 |
| k1l_ | raub: start lightdm or whatever dm is installed. then choose the xfce session on there | 14:20 |
| wwwi | Anticom: ok | 14:21 |
| xharx | i used this howto https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/XServer/#XServer-beenden | 14:21 |
| Anticom | wwwi: so many options to choose from :> | 14:21 |
| raub | k1l_: I guess I need to install a *dm first... | 14:21 |
| wwwi | Anticom: yes | 14:21 |
| k1l_ | raub: which is standard on ubuntu | 14:22 |
| raub | k1l_: ubuntu server, so no *dm installed | 14:22 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: It came n went!!??? | 14:23 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: ? | 14:24 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: keep in mind i dont see what you see. so please be precise what you do and what you see. | 14:24 |
| raub | k1l_: I thought when I installed xfce4 it would pick a *dm, but that was not the case | 14:25 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: I login n for a second the menu is there n then it's gone! | 14:25 |
| k1l_ | raub: yes, only the xubuntu-package will pull that in, iirc | 14:26 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: I thought I'd set it to hide until my mouse went there to it | 14:26 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: forget about the launcher. look at the top bar please. that should always show | 14:26 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Yes that's there | 14:27 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: ok, so its the launcher bar still missing? | 14:27 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: I need the launcher | 14:27 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Yes, launcher is missing | 14:28 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: come on, concentrate. i did not ask what you need, i did ask if its still missing since i cant see what is in fron of you | 14:28 |
| donofrio | weird anyone else see freenode drop out or just me ;( | 14:28 |
| Homely_Girl | k1l_: Launcher is still missing | 14:28 |
| k1l_ | Homely_Girl: please open a terminal with "ctrl+alt+t" and run "unity-tweak-tool" there you can set the launcher bar settings | 14:28 |
| k1l_ | raub: just checked, only the xubuntu-desktop package depends on lightdm. | 14:30 |

| ash_workz | okay, I need some 101 help here | 14:42 |
| Capum321 | hello | 14:42 |
| ash_workz | if I have an nvme drive, that shows up in /dev/nvme* where * are all the partitions of that drive right? | 14:43 |
| Capum321 | does hplip or cups have scanning feature? | 14:43 |
| ash_workz | so my first question is, does the fact that the /dev/nvme* directories exist imply that they're mounted? | 14:44 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: try ls -l /dev/nvme | 14:44 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: no | 14:44 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: okay, so what exactly shows in /dev ? | 14:44 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: any devices that udev has shown | 14:45 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: udev is a program? | 14:45 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: yup, it's a progra that handles devices | 14:45 |
| Scourje | elky: what the | 14:46 |
| Scourje | you really are a shill high command | 14:46 |
| Scourje | im coming | 14:46 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I see; well anyway, so what happens when you plugin a usb? udev is auto-launched, usb dectected, and sdb created? | 14:46 |
| Scourje | i still have that pic of u | 14:47 |
| Scourje | amERICANDREam | 14:47 |
| Scourje | who who | 14:47 |
| Scourje | WHO HERE LIVES IN MICHIGAN | 14:47 |
| Scourje | i know one of you does | 14:47 |
| k1l_ | Scourje: please keep this channel clear for ubuntu support | 14:47 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: yes, udev is always running, type "udevadm monitor" in a terminal and plug a device in, you'll see it in action | 14:47 |
| Scourje | k1l_: how about this | 14:47 |
| __Yiota | hey guys, my softlayer instance is dropping connections after 60 seconds, I've already modified the nginx proxy)timeout setting, so I am not gettinga 504 anymore | 14:47 |
| __Yiota | now the connections are dropped | 14:48 |
| Scourje | take LSD | 14:48 |
| __Yiota | is it possible it's a TCP socket timeout? | 14:48 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: neato, and then ever after that sdb should be present? | 14:48 |
| Capum321 | hello | 14:48 |
| Scourje | or how about this | 14:48 |
| Capum321 | does hplip or cups have scanning feature? | 14:48 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: yeah | 14:48 |
| Scourje | is something wrong | 14:48 |
| Scourje | i should leave somethings up | 14:48 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: okay, so next question; if a drive shows up in lsblk with a blank mountpoint then said drive is not mounted? | 14:49 |
| Scourje | if i leave theyll know i know that they know | 14:49 |
| hateball | Capum321: hplip provides drivers for anything using SANE | 14:49 |
| Scourje | im gonna stay here | 14:49 |
| Scourje | unless | 14:49 |
| Scourje | is something wrong | 14:49 |
| Scourje | i should leave somethings up | 14:49 |
| Scourje | oh god im in a thought loop | 14:49 |
| Scourje | if i leave theyll know i know that they know | 14:49 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: yeah | 14:49 |
| Capum321 | what is sane? | 14:50 |

| ash_workz | EriC^^: thanks for that | 14:51 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I don't have any more questions atm, but those little tidbits really help | 14:51 |
| hateball | Capum321: if you have hplip installed you should also have the "scanimage" utility | 14:51 |
| xpistos | Hey guys I am trying to setup a script that will run once a month, quarter and year that will basically just concate a weekly text file. Any ideas on how to write it | 14:51 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: no problem | 14:51 |
| Capum321 | hateball: what is SANE ? do I have to download any other program besides hplip? like simple-scan? scan-image should be in the Menu? | 14:51 |
| hateball | Capum321: scanimage is run from CLI | 14:52 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: unless you specifically know if nvme works the same as any storage device on linux ? ^ ^; | 14:52 |
| schoppenhauer | I need something which I can suspend | 14:52 |
| Capum321 | hateball: i see | 14:52 |
| hateball | Capum321: for a GUI frontend to SANE there is Xsane | 14:52 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: right now you have /dev/nvme and you want to mount any partitions it has? | 14:52 |
| hateball | Capum321: you may need to install the package sane-utils | 14:53 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ... the ultimate goal for me was to have postgres use nvme for a tablespace with heavy writes. | 14:54 |
| ash_workz | I didn't realize though there were so many partitions | 14:55 |
| ash_workz | s/( though)/,\1, that/ | 14:57 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: what does sudo parted -l show? | 14:58 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c2c9d9a30676099e746bbe9b1e4f875e | 15:00 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I didn't realize that was annoymous | 15:01 |
| EriC^^ | it's giving an error | 15:01 |
| ash_workz | yeah | 15:03 |
| ash_workz | for each partition | 15:03 |
| EriC^^ | no i mean the link isn't working :D | 15:03 |
| ash_workz | lol | 15:03 |
| ash_workz | https://gist.github.com/ash-m/ed263a3e59d7e660f340403c1f0046b5 | 15:03 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: you have 4 of those nvme disks? | 15:04 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: mer, I thought they were partitions, but maybe... lemme see if I can check | 15:05 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: (this is offsite) | 15:05 |
| xharx | pastebin | 15:05 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: ok | 15:06 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I think there were supposed be 2, but maybe that turned into 4 | 15:06 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I am assuming that since there' | 15:07 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: are they empty? | 15:07 |
| ash_workz | ugh, that happens sometimes with apostrophes for me; I hit return to early | 15:07 |
| ash_workz | anyway | 15:07 |
| EriC^^ | no problem, same here | 15:08 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: I am assuming that since there's nvme{0..3} *and* nvme{0..3}n1 that just the number shows the drive and the n1 shows the partition... maybe? | 15:08 |
| ash_workz | sorry | 15:08 |
| ash_workz | in /dev | 15:08 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: so I guess it ended up as 4 drives | 15:09 |

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 machine with this VGA: "Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter" "Kernel modules: sisfb" and it's running 1920x1080 just fine. The same machine with Ubuntu 16.04 defaults to 1024x768 on X. Any idea what package might be missing? | 15:09 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: yeah it looks like they are 4 drives without a partition table or anything on them | 15:09 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: okay, so perhap I should make some kind of pool for pgdata ? | 15:10 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: i'm not sure about the unrecognised disk label error though, hmm | 15:10 |
| ash_workz | EriC^^: as a note, the nvme[0..3}n1 names under lsblk have no mount point | 15:10 |

| Anticom | iresf: how did you install docker? | 15:20 |
| EriC^^ | xharx: are you logged in as root in the shell or trying sudo ls > file ? | 15:20 |
| k1l_ | iresf: use the official ubuntu packages or tell the one who runs your 3rd party repo to fix that | 15:20 |
| noimnotninevolt | maybe `sudo (ls > file)` ? | 15:21 |
| iresf | Anticom : first : sudo apt install docker.io that did not work then second way i doeloaded deb and install that | 15:21 |
| MrOpenSource | its possible to use skype in Pidgin?? | 15:21 |
| EriC^^ | ash_workz: i'm not too sure about the pool stuff you're talking about, no idea about these stuff :) | 15:22 |

| iresf | k1l_:http://paste.ubuntu.com/23954848/ | 15:23 |
| Anticom | iresf: i guess there's an issue because in the PPA the package that installs docker is called docker-engine, in the official repos it's docker.io | 15:24 |
| k1l_ | iresf: "docker" is not the docker program. its a gnome thingy. so you need to insatll docker.io as package. but please stop blindly installing pakages now | 15:25 |
| Anticom | <k1l_ why stop installing random packages. Sounds like afun game to me :> | 15:26 |
| iresf | The group `docker' already exists as a system group. Exiting. | 15:27 |

| compdoc | mattf, a bad hard drive, bad ram, bad cooling fans, or bad power supply. or a combination of those | 16:01 |

| rmstar | hi guys...quick question. | 16:15 |
| charlie_sanders | rmstar, whats up | 16:16 |
| EriC^^ | basiclaser: the 1.8T one | 16:16 |
| rmstar | what is /var/tmp used for and how can i change the location? | 16:16 |
| EriC^^ | basiclaser: the efi partition makes it seem like there's an OS on that disk btw | 16:17 |
| charlie_sanders | I dont think anyone actually uses /var/tmp , but why would you want to rmstar ? | 16:17 |
| rmstar | charlie_sanders: the script that we are running uses that for some reason. i thought it was something in the OS that is making it use that | 16:17 |
| charlie_sanders | hmm, you could grep for that path in /etc , see whats using it | 16:18 |
| nacc | i'm fairly sure systemd uses /var/tmp | 16:18 |
| charlie_sanders | grep -rni "/var/tmp" /etc | 16:18 |
| charlie_sanders | nacc, yeah apparmor for sure uses it | 16:19 |
| === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran | ||
| rmstar | charlie_sanders: i see /etc/security/namespace.conf and apparmor, like you said | 16:19 |
| pavlos | rmstar, /var/tmp data is preserved during reboot unlike /tmp which has a short life | 16:19 |
| charlie_sanders | ahha, thx pavlos | 16:20 |
| charlie_sanders | *ding,ding* | 16:20 |
| rmstar | pavlos: ah.... | 16:20 |
| rmstar | lol | 16:20 |
| rmstar | ok...thanks guys. i think the problem may be in the script i'm using. i will check that out :) | 16:20 |

| xrandr_laptop | if i am replacing a fedora install, and it used a /dev/mapper can I just choose that as the disk to install ubuntu on, or do i need to select a physical disk (ie /dev/sde) ? | 16:39 |
| xrandr_laptop | k1l, thoughts? | 16:40 |
| EriC^^ | xrandr_laptop: in the installer it would ask to install next to fedora if there was free unallocated space, or offer to erase the whole disk and install ubuntu | 16:41 |
| Aaryan | Anyone can help me about my fan issue on Lenovo? | 16:42 |
| EriC^^ | xrandr_laptop: there's always the Something else option which lets you manually partition and choose where it gets installed | 16:42 |
| xrandr_laptop | EriC^^, ok. I have other disks attached to my computer and I don't want that data to be overwritten | 16:42 |
| xrandr_laptop | i have a win10 install, and some mac osx disks that i don't want touched | 16:42 |
| EriC^^ | xrandr_laptop: i would choose the Something else option and manually tell it where to install | 16:43 |
| EriC^^ | (note also the bootloader location at the bottom) | 16:43 |
| xrandr_laptop | so do i just use the something else, and then select the /dev/mapper that has two of my disks combined so that it gives me my 1.1T ? | 16:43 |
| xrandr_laptop | EriC^^, should I use ext4 or xfs? | 16:44 |
| EriC^^ | xrandr_laptop: i'm not sure if it will show you a dev mapper there, to be honest | 16:44 |
| EriC^^ | ext4 imo | 16:44 |
| xrandr_laptop | EriC^^, it does show me the /dev/mapper in Something Else :) | 16:44 |

| iparhan | Hello | 17:12 |
| OerHeks | iparhan, load your windows cd and boot from it? not really an ubuntu issue | 17:12 |
| lzto | pauloreloy: default BIOS setting is set to raid, I could switch it to ahci but not sure how that will impact other aspects, would need to test it out | 17:13 |
| mattf | is not a graphic card issue | 17:13 |
| mattf | since im on a ssh session that also freezes when it happens | 17:13 |
| mattf | alt+PrintScreen REISUB doesnt do anything | 17:13 |
| mattf | when it is freezed | 17:13 |
| mattf | what else can it be?? | 17:13 |
| OerHeks | lzto, choose ahci, not raid, as you need a free partition somewhere to put grub on. | 17:14 |

| miczac | Hi, I just rendered my main system unbootable: I booted from the old recovery system (Ubuntu 14.04) from USB and installed it to another USB stick. I think the mistake was to name /dev/sda1 for booting from. 14.04 is fine, the built-in file system seems to be there, but I can't boot from it. removing all usb and booting puts the laptop into grub cmd-line. | 18:42 |

| MonkeyDust | Ntemis i guess bind can do that | 19:15 |
| Ntemis | will this work? | 19:15 |
| nacc | Ntemis: why do you want to do that? | 19:15 |
| Ntemis | ls -s /media/hddfordata /home/mine | 19:16 |
| Ntemis | ls -s /media/hddfordata /home/hers | 19:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Ntemis 'mount --bind | 19:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Ntemis 'mount --bind' | 19:16 |
| Ntemis | hdd is mounted with UUID by fstab | 19:16 |
| nacc | Ntemis: i assume you mean `ln` not `ls`, and while that might work, I would not recommend it (it's also rather odd for two users to share the same home directory) | 19:17 |
| Ntemis | its the hdd we want to share not home | 19:17 |
| nacc | Ntemis: you're putting the same hdd in two home directories, per your question | 19:18 |
| Ntemis | yes i am | 19:18 |
| nacc | s/in/as/ | 19:18 |
| Ntemis | so anyway to do it from fstab? | 19:18 |
| nacc | Ntemis: if what you just said is actually true, then mount it twice | 19:18 |
| Ntemis | auto mount for both users | 19:18 |
| nacc | mount to /home/mine/path and /home/hers/path | 19:18 |
| Ntemis | in fstab? | 19:18 |
| nacc | that makes way more sense then mounting to /home/mine and /home/hers, imo | 19:18 |
| Ntemis | yes i prefer do it with fstab is more clean | 19:19 |
| nacc | Ntemis: but if all you're doing is sharing the data, why not leave it in /media/hddfordata and correct the permissions | 19:19 |
| divyanshumehta | \quit | 19:19 |
| anddam | clissold345: it might, thanks | 19:20 |
| Ntemis | because we work on it remotely with ssh and is convenient to have it in our home folders | 19:20 |
| nacc | that's rather silly, but ok | 19:20 |
| nacc | then yes, you can just use a symlink from each of your home directories to /media/path | 19:20 |
| Ntemis | for ext4 defaults 0 2 sounds ok? | 19:20 |
| Ntemis | i will do it in fstab | 19:21 |
| nacc | but the point i was trying to make is you absolutely (imo) should *not* make the target of that symlink /home/mine or /home/hers | 19:21 |
| nacc | as those are *both* your home directories and it makes no sense to share your actual home directory | 19:21 |
| Ntemis | no i was referring to the folder | 19:21 |
| Ntemis | i get your meaning | 19:21 |
| Ntemis | will be inside a name for the mount point as well | 19:21 |
| Ntemis | /home/mine/data /home/hers/data | 19:22 |
| Ntemis | something like that | 19:22 |
| Ntemis | will we have any permission issues? | 19:22 |
| nacc | Ntemis: so what you're describing now is different than your origianl question -- mounting the disk again doesn't seem necessary in this new question | 19:23 |
| nacc | Ntemis: and the symlink (since it's purely for convenience if you both can already read the currently mounted disk), is the simpler choice | 19:23 |

| Ntemis | but i use fstab to mount hdd | 19:34 |

| Ntemis | with permission issue? what need to be done? | 19:45 |
| nacc | Ntemis: i don't think umask=00 is advised | 19:47 |
| Ntemis | why? will give full rw access | 19:47 |
| Ntemis | i want no permission issues | 19:47 |
| nacc | Ntemis: i believe the only way you'd get it to work is to add both users to a group and then set the umask to allow g+rw | 19:48 |

| Zew | I created a snapshot this time | 20:31 |
| Zew | so I should be ok to revert if it breaks | 20:31 |
| Zew | thanks guys! | 20:31 |
| jaith | Zew: good plan | 20:31 |

| hhee | guys,how can i configure unity music tab, to search for mp3 files on external hdd drive? | 20:35 |
| hhee | i mean dash | 20:35 |
| VaultyTowers | Some_Bloke, its the light locker crap isnt it? | 20:36 |
| VaultyTowers | hhee, why not copy the few files over? | 20:37 |
| Zew | ioria: yeah | 20:37 |

| VaultyTowers | hhee, copy the .mp3 onto the HDD that its set to search on | 20:38 |
| Zew | climbing | 20:38 |

| hhee | VaultyTowers, how can i set dash to search on external hdd? | 20:38 |
| hhee | :) | 20:38 |
| Zew | neat thanks | 20:39 |
| VaultyTowers | tbh I havent used dash yet but are you able to go to parent folders? | 20:39 |
| Some_Bloke | Alright, I'll take a look. | 20:39 |
| Zew | hhee: using the find command? | 20:39 |
| VaultyTowers | btw noone should bother helping me I fixed my issue | 20:42 |
| Zew | wasn't planing on it :P | 20:42 |
| VaultyTowers | zew you probably dont even know what the issue even was | 20:43 |
| Zew | nope hahahha | 20:43 |
| hhee | Zew, dunno. :) does find command create index files? | 20:44 |
| Zew | nope just a search command | 20:44 |
| VaultyTowers | either way i dont need help so ciao folks and peanut brittles | 20:44 |

| Zew | hahaha | 20:47 |
| Ownz | I don't know what you all were talking about plex for. I just joined, but I owuld be glad to answer any questions. I have been using it for a long time. | 20:47 |
| Some_Bloke | Nothing in the bot describe my issue. Guess I turn off request password after waking from suspend | 20:48 |
| hhee | well, i opened the dash. and see "There is no music available on this computer" and it's true, because my music on EXTERNAL drive. how can i create index from there? is it real?\ | 20:48 |

| promet | I run 16.04 on an encrypted volume. I've run out of space on this volume. disk usage manager (baobab) only reports ecryptfs files, rather than filenames. Does anyone know of a way to identify and clean an encryptfs volume? | 20:52 |
| k1l | elias_a: most times resume issues are issues from the mainboard which doesnt bring up hardware fast enough | 20:52 |
| gamester | I'm using the nvidia binary driver, as shown in "Software & Updates" but I feel like it's been the same 367 version for a long time. Where is this driver coming from, when is a new one released? | 20:53 |
| k1l | gamester: its not going to be changed (often). ubuntu uses a stable release model | 20:54 |
| elias_a | k1l: So i should run echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online gor all cores? | 20:55 |
| k1l | elias_a: please read the comments and the linked forums thread which explain that workaround | 20:56 |
| elias_a | k1l: Ok. Thanks! | 20:56 |
| k1l | elias_a: and i am not sure if that is still an issue on modern kernels | 20:56 |
| ioria | promet, what you mean with 'clean an encrypted volume' ? | 20:57 |
| wwwi | hello | 20:58 |
| wwwi | when a desktop text editor loads a file, that file is loaded from disk into memory, right? so, file is actually, opened for reading, but then once in memory, is closed? then, you change the text, and when you save, file is again opened, saved and then closed again? | 21:00 |
| elias_a | k1l: Well the symptoms are exactly the same. | 21:01 |
| ppf | wwwi: sometime yes, sometimes no | 21:02 |
| ppf | e.g., most editors won't load large file entirely | 21:02 |
| Zew | updates completed... rebooting now | 21:02 |
| Zew | wwwi: No there should be a lock on the file while its open by a set application | 21:03 |
| ppf | Zew: no, there is no such thing | 21:03 |
| Zew | this is my understanding of it | 21:03 |
| k1l | wwwi: some text editors do make .swp files to autosafe the changes made | 21:03 |
| ppf | Zew: in linux there is no way to lock a file | 21:03 |
| Zew | diff between windows n linux, windows locks the file | 21:03 |
| k1l | Zew: no, just on the package management is a lock file. not on regular files | 21:04 |
| k1l | you can open a file with serveral programs at the same time | 21:04 |
| wwwi | so, if you kill text editor with an opened saved file, you risk that you will corrupt the file, but risk is extremely small? | 21:04 |
| ppf | wwwi: yes, the risk is small | 21:04 |
| k1l | wwwi: too theoretically. what is the issue? | 21:05 |
| Zew | my question would be whats teh foundation, linux on hardware directly, or is it on a VM | 21:05 |
| wwwi | k1l: just trying to figure if i corrupted a file today, but it seems fine | 21:05 |
| Zew | if you have a concern of courption, at least for testing, maybe use snapshots if its on a VM, of storage snapshots even better. but on direct hardware... | 21:06 |
| Zew | unno copy teh file | 21:06 |
| wwwi | k1l: mostly, i thought about this and wanted to learn more | 21:07 |
| ash_workz | why would I be able to do man pg_ctl but using pg_ctl says command not found? | 21:07 |
| Zew | thats always good | 21:07 |
| Zew | cause theres a man page, but your path doesn't include the path to the bin? | 21:07 |
| wwwi | Zew: if you copy the open saved file somewhere, before killing the text editor with the open saved file, the copied file should be fine? | 21:07 |
| ppf | yes | 21:07 |
| ppf | most text editors actually do that for you | 21:08 |
| Zew | ^ | 21:08 |
| k1l | ash_workz: not all commands match the same man page names. sometimes there is a manpage but the command is included in a program and not a single command | 21:08 |
| Zew | figured the command would only be in that programs man page then | 21:08 |
| wwwi | ppf i assumed that yes was the answer to my final questions? also i didnt get that about the text editors that do this for me, could you elaborate a little? | 21:08 |
| k1l | ash_workz: how did you install postgresql? | 21:09 |
| ppf | most text editors create a backup when you open a file | 21:09 |
| ash_workz | apt-get | 21:09 |
| Zew | k1l: he actually did, you just may have missed it | 21:09 |
| k1l | ash_workz: seems like on ubuntu/debian one uses pg_ctlcluster instead | 21:09 |
| Zew | 15:03 < k1l> wwwi: some text editors do make .swp files to autosafe the changes made | 21:10 |
| ppf | wwwi: e.g. vim creates a .swp file, emacs or gedit create a file with a ~ in the name | 21:10 |
| wwwi | ppf so, if i compare the md5hashes of copied file and actual file, after i killed the editor with the actual file and the hashes are the same, it means that actual file is not corrupt, right? | 21:10 |
| ppf | most likely | 21:10 |
| Zew | yes | 21:10 |
| k1l | if the hash is the same, its the same | 21:11 |
| Zew | chances of a collision are small even with MD5, but SHA1 would be better | 21:11 |
| ppf | if you open the file again, you'll get a new backup, though, keep that in mind | 21:11 |
| Zew | well if the swp file still exists it'll ask you about it | 21:12 |
| wwwi | md5hash command is safe to run on files, right? it wont corrupt them? i've read on stackoverflow some advice, that seems a little weird, it said, if your second file is on usb stick, first unmount the usb stick, remove it, then plug it in back and then run md5hash on it | 21:12 |
| ppf | vim will, yes. gedit won't, i think | 21:12 |
| Zew | doing a hash sum doesn't change the file | 21:12 |
| Zew | it just reads it, and generate a hash | 21:13 |
| ppf | opening it in the editor is what i'm talking about | 21:13 |
| k1l | ash_workz: but you better use sudo service postgresql start/stop/restart/reload... | 21:13 |
| Zew | Yyyeeeee ha, ubuntu updates, my primary servers still working | 21:13 |
| Zew | great successs | 21:13 |
| Zew | services* | 21:14 |
| k1l | Zew: the updates get automated testings since some time. so if one sticks to the standard setup the udpates will work | 21:14 |
| wwwi | obviously, the command for sha1 hashes also doesnt change a file, right? | 21:14 |
| Zew | Yeah | 21:14 |
| Zew | yes | 21:14 |
| k1l | wwwi: that is the point of checksum. if it would change it, one would never compare 2 files and find matching ones | 21:14 |
| Zew | All hashing works gernerally the same, just a different algo is used to dtermine the chance of a collisin | 21:15 |
| wtfred | hi, i have been running ubuntu from a live usb stick for 2 months, because I was waiting for a samsung ssd pro 512 Vnand, not the sataIII connected. Do you know why samsungs 960s are so difficult to get? | 21:15 |
| Zew | but generally its read the file -> generate hash based on teh algo | 21:15 |
| wtfred | I mean, I bought one and the store now says they dont have the unit on store | 21:15 |
| k1l | wtfred: i would say: ask samsung why they cant deliver :) | 21:15 |
| Zew | algo being either MD5 or SHA1 | 21:15 |
| wwwi | so, there is like 1 in a billion chance that the hash of the copied file and the hash of the "possibly corrupt" original file are the same, even though the second file is different? that's for the unlike scenario that the actual file is corrupt | 21:16 |
| Zew | yes | 21:17 |
| noimnotninevolt | no, much less than 1 in a billion. | 21:17 |
| wtfred | if I buy a samsung 860, is that too slow for a virtualization? the virtualization will be connected to internet | 21:17 |
| Zew | noimnotninevolt: depends on teh algo | 21:17 |
| tomreyn | wtfred: this is #ubuntu, not ##hardware | 21:18 |
| noimnotninevolt | indeed it does. but which is <30 bit? | 21:18 |
| k1l | wtfred: you wont feel a difference | 21:19 |
| ppf | wwwi: your file is alright. | 21:19 |
| wtfred | ok... k1l do you know somebody who owns a samsung 960 pro? | 21:20 |
| wwwi | Zew the algo is md5 pr sha1 or something else? | 21:20 |
| noimnotninevolt | even crc32 is less than 1 in a billion likelihood of collision. | 21:20 |
| k1l | wtfred: i dont see how this is ubuntu related. | 21:20 |
| Zew | whatever you want to use | 21:20 |
| Zew | MD5 should suit your needs | 21:20 |
| promet | ioria, I mean removing large files to free up space | 21:21 |
| Zew | MD5 collision rate 2ex(-64) | 21:21 |
| promet | Normally I would do this with baobab, but it can't interpret the ecryptfs data | 21:21 |
| noimnotninevolt | which is less than one in a billion-billion :P | 21:21 |
| Zew | :) | 21:22 |
| MrOpenSource | hello | 21:22 |
| noimnotninevolt | and md5 is considered weak. i don't know of any weaker hashes than md5 that are in common use. | 21:22 |
| Zew | yeap | 21:22 |
| Zew | but for a simple file | 21:22 |
| Zew | generally does ok | 21:22 |
| MrOpenSource | I have a question, I wanna play music with Rythmbox music player, but i get this error Didn't get a playback URI for entry file:///home/jan/Music/Musik/New/Dark%20-%20Enough.mp3 | 21:22 |
| Zew | https://askubuntu.com/questions/617816/rhythmbox-doesnt-add-import-mp3s-from-music-on-ubuntu-gnome-15-04 | 21:23 |
| Zew | two different fourm posts, same answer | 21:23 |
| k1l | MrOpenSource: "mv ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml.bak" | 21:24 |
| k1l | MrOpenSource: your music database seems corrupted. maybe you moved the files | 21:25 |
| wwwi | thank you all | 21:25 |

| auvajs | hi, I need a terminal command to 1) login as some user 2) start screen 3) start some program inside screen.. any help? | 21:40 |
| t0day | hello | 21:40 |
| Zew | googles? | 21:41 |
| ppf | auvajs: sudo -u User screen program | 21:41 |
| k1l | auvajs: 1) sudo 2) screen 3) some_program | 21:41 |
| k1l | just put them together as ppf showed :) | 21:41 |
| auvajs | ppf: k1l I get Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/1' - please check. | 21:42 |
| k1l | auvajs: is that user able to login? | 21:42 |
| auvajs | k1l: no idea | 21:42 |
| auvajs | k1l: but doing only su user works | 21:43 |
| auvajs | k1l: but after that I need to do script /dev/null.. actually I dont know what that means, lol | 21:43 |
| k1l | auvajs: ok, that can already have made a mess with that users file permissions | 21:43 |
| auvajs | k1l: how can I find out the permissions please? | 21:44 |
| k1l | auvajs: try sudo -H -u user .. | 21:44 |
| auvajs | k1l: that doesn't work, I get list of sudo commands | 21:46 |
| k1l | auvajs: capital H? (linux is case sensitive) | 21:46 |
| krizoek | is ubuntu about security? i have wondered about the packages. are they ever checked by others? recompiled and checked with things like checksums | 21:47 |
| auvajs | k1l: http://pastebin.com/Ypi78Z31 | 21:48 |
| k1l | krizoek: ubuntu got a security team for the packages in main. all packages from all repos are signed and checksum checked from apt | 21:48 |
| ash_workz | k1l: how did you find out that it was pg_ctlcluster? | 21:48 |
| ash_workz | k1l: is there one for initdb? | 21:48 |
| k1l | krizoek: the community repos like universe only grant upload permissions to known users. they are peer reviewed yb the community. | 21:49 |
| k1l | ash_workz: usually you control the postgresql server with the ubuntu "service" command. not the postgresql one. | 21:49 |
| k1l | auvajs: what ubuntu is that? | 21:51 |
| k1l | auvajs: lsb_release -sd | 21:51 |
| krizoek | great | 21:51 |
| krizoek | since ubuntu is so popular, it might make it even more secure than other distros that compile everything? | 21:52 |
| krizoek | you can compile entire ubuntu from source? | 21:52 |
| k1l | krizoek: ubuntu ships precompiled packages. so the clients pc doesnt have the compiling load. | 21:52 |
| k1l | krizoek: you can. the source is available | 21:52 |
| ash_workz | there's a freaking conflict this whole time | 21:53 |
| ash_workz | there's /usr/bin/psql and /var/lib/.../psql | 21:53 |
| ash_workz | I am confounded... what the hell was psql supposed to do? | 21:54 |
| ash_workz | I mean /usr/bin/psql | 21:54 |
| k1l | ash_workz: what is the issue? why dont you use "sudo service .... start " | 21:54 |
| krizoek | yeah | 21:57 |
| krizoek | i have been using gentoo for a while. tired of having to compile and configure everything. and all the flags and whatnot | 21:57 |
| krizoek | ubuntu is so easy. just install and run | 21:57 |
| compdoc | sounds like work | 21:57 |
| k1l | yes, gentoo got a different strategy on that | 21:57 |
| krizoek | yeah, its allot of work | 21:58 |
| krizoek | who do the releases of the various compilations? | 22:01 |
| krizoek | can everyone join? | 22:01 |
| krizoek | and is there like a sheet of which use flags is to be used in general? | 22:01 |
| k1l | krizoek: do you mean the .isos? | 22:01 |
| krizoek | whats put inside the main apt repos | 22:02 |
| k1l | if you mean the packages, there are the maintainers. | 22:02 |
| k1l | that is mainly debian and canonical guys. | 22:02 |
| krizoek | ok | 22:03 |
| nacc | krizoek: no, there's not a sheet, because unlike gentoo, you don't typically build a package yourself, so it's not really that important to you as the end-user | 22:03 |
| k1l | krizoek: on launchpad.net or on packages.ubuntu.com you can see the maintainers listed | 22:03 |
| k1l | krizoek: if you wonder about the compile flags of packages see this explanation: http://askubuntu.com/a/48532/31260 | 22:04 |
| krizoek | great, ty | 22:05 |
| Zew | is there a way to list all available packages from Ubuntu default repo, and either filter, or grep the results? | 22:05 |
| k1l | Zew: apt search keyword/packagename | 22:05 |
| ppf | apt search? | 22:05 |
| Zew | tahnks! | 22:05 |
| krizoek | yes, i was just checking a build log. this is great | 22:06 |
| ghoti | Zew: `apt-cache search` would be my vote | 22:06 |
| Zew | ghoti: what the diff? | 22:06 |
| ppf | ghoti: it's just apt now | 22:06 |
| Zew | gotta loves changes hahah | 22:06 |
| k1l | ghoti: apt is the new apt-get, apt-cache etc and is grouping some old commands into it. | 22:07 |
| ppf | sadly not apt file, though | 22:07 |
| Zew | wait... so I shoulda been using apt instead of apt-get? | 22:07 |
| Zew | I've mostly been using apt-get | 22:07 |
| ppf | you can | 22:07 |
| ghoti | k1l/ppf, thanks, apparently I only run old ubuntu boxes. :-) | 22:07 |
| ppf | it's shorter to type and has colors! | 22:08 |
| k1l | Zew: the old apt-get still works. but the new apt will replace it some day. like in 50 years :) | 22:08 |
| Zew | hahah ok | 22:08 |
| coffeeguy | the loading is super | 22:09 |
| k1l | ppf: and a progressbar :) | 22:09 |
| coffeeguy | :D | 22:10 |
| ppf | but no apt-file | 22:10 |
| Zew | OK so my main reason for asking the search thing for apt was cause while I was following this guide, I ragge don a bit cause the guy who wrote the blog used the RPM from a site, instead of grabbing the one right from Ubuntu's repo | 22:10 |
| ppf | that i'm still sad about | 22:10 |
| Zew | so now Im at another step where it seems to be the same thing, but this time instead of tomcat, its for the pwm software itself | 22:10 |
| k1l | Zew: uh, rpm :/ | 22:10 |
| Zew | from what I can tell there is no pwm in ubuntus repo | 22:11 |
| k1l | pwm? | 22:11 |
| Zew | is it ok to install PWM in this fashion then? | 22:11 |
| ppf | use apt search or packages.ubuntu.com | 22:11 |
| Zew | http://www.serveradventures.com/the-adventures/installing-pwm-open-source-password-self-service-in-2016 | 22:11 |
| Zew | I've shared this blog post like 100 times now | 22:11 |
| Zew | I just want to make sure that I'm grabbing the right package from the right place if one exists, else I'm assumign I have to manually install as the blog states? | 22:12 |
| k1l | Zew: insatlling .rpm sounds like a horrible howto. | 22:12 |
| Zew | k1l: whatelse can you do if its not available in teh deafult repo? | 22:12 |
| k1l | that sounds like a "i only know centos, rhel, fedora, but i make a ubuntu howto | 22:13 |
| ppf | if it's not in the repos you need to go to the vendor | 22:13 |
| Zew | I didn't write it | 22:13 |
| Zew | its simply the "best" we could find | 22:13 |
| Zew | pwman3/xenial,xenial 0.5.1d-1 all console password management application | 22:13 |
| Zew | Is all I found via apt search | 22:14 |
| Zew | not the same | 22:14 |
| Zew | thanks guys for the feedback | 22:15 |
| k1l | Zew: i dont see a rpm file mentioned there. it uses .war files for tomcat | 22:18 |
| Zew | indeed sorry | 22:19 |
| Zew | I had assumed it was an installer, and that made an assout of me | 22:19 |

| _adb | er -- unfortunately, it looks liek that didn'twork, but the rest of that thread may contain helpful information | 22:41 |
| Zewwy | Yeeeha! | 22:42 |
| Zewwy | I successfully setup PWM... properlly! hahaha | 22:42 |
| Zewwy | using all Ubuntu repo packages | 22:42 |
| Zewwy | thanks a bunch guys! | 22:42 |
| sl1rpy | does using synclient stick to current session or does it stick? | 22:46 |
| sl1rpy | _adb, | 22:46 |
| Zewwy | ? | 22:46 |
| _adb | not a clue. try it and see | 22:47 |
| sl1rpy | _adb, no... the settings dont stick. i saw that someone was suggesting that someone should write a gui for synclient | 22:55 |
| _adb | sl1rpy: if the only problem is the non-persistence, you can write a script to run the commands for you when you log in/boot up | 22:56 |
| sl1rpy | yep. :) | 22:56 |
| countingdaisies | I'm not sure what to search for ... I have a situation where I need to install multiple php applications (1 currently installed and 1 one lined up to install any time soon). I don't know enough about what scheme/system/type of soln I need to employ so that the urls used to access each application are unique. I have heard different terms related to configuring a web server or something like... | 22:57 |
| countingdaisies | ...that, but I don't know what to choose or where to begin. Can someone steer me in the right direction? | 22:57 |
| _adb | countingdaisies: apache virtual hosts? | 23:00 |
| _adb | that's tricky, though, since the answer to that question depends heavily on the particulars of your situation | 23:01 |
| OerHeks | countingdaisies, good start would be #ubuntu-server | 23:05 |
| countingdaisies | _adb: Uhh, I have a package called eramba installed (the installed php package) but I don't know in what way it was configured since I just followed instructions (from more then one source). Now I also want to install media wiki which is a php application. Right now I access eramba by entering "http://localhost/login" or if I type "http://localhost/" it redirects to the first. | 23:05 |
| countingdaisies | _adb: also , eramba is not installed properly (barely installed I'd call it) though | 23:06 |
| countingdaisies | that's my sitch | 23:06 |

| Hrx | why forbidden ? http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent?_ga=1.199677672.797644579.1483540135 | 23:11 |
| Hrx | i can't download any version of ubuntu pff | 23:11 |
| k1l | Hrx: choose here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ | 23:12 |
| k1l | Hrx: http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent | 23:13 |
| OerHeks | strange tracker | 23:13 |
| Hrx | thnx bro <3 | 23:14 |
| mukluks | OerHeks: i get the same problem when i click the torrent download link, but if you remove that ?_ga=.... parameter it works | 23:14 |
| mukluks | weird | 23:15 |
| OerHeks | google thingy .. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookies-user-id | 23:15 |
| Hrx | thnx man problem fixed <3 | 23:15 |
| OerHeks | maybe you got the url from a website, not from http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ | 23:16 |
| Hrx | i just want to do fresh install of ubuntu 14.04 cuz the os support fglrx driver :( anyone here now how to install amd driver in 16.04 (2 cards : intel + amd) | 23:18 |
| k1l | Hrx: amd doesnt make fglrx anymore. they now make amd_gpu as open source driver and ship that with the linux kernel. for most recent cards you can load their prop. addon. but as always, amd dropped older cards from the support. | 23:20 |
| k1l | Hrx: so runing 16.04 the kernel will automatically load amd_gpu if the video card is supported by amd. if its not it will load the free viddeo driver radeon | 23:21 |
| k1l | that is for all recent linux distributions. | 23:21 |
| Hrx | that's it .. when i tried to install amd gpu after reboot i got a black screen | 23:21 |
| OerHeks | driver in use >> lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' | 23:22 |
| k1l | Hrx: so is your card supported by amd still? | 23:22 |
| k1l | Hrx: because if not, you cant just install something and amd will support that again. | 23:22 |
| OerHeks | it should be loaded standard indeed, no install at all. maybe the pro driver from their site? | 23:23 |
| Hrx | my card is not supported anymore pfff i have amd radeon 230M | 23:24 |
| k1l | yeah, but that only works if the card is supported by amd_gpu (by amd) in first place. | 23:24 |
| OerHeks | jups | 23:24 |
| giovanni | hi all, who can explain me how backup works? For example the backup with "tar". Question is: if I backup my disk with tar, then I format everything and reinstall a clean system, if i receover the backup (with tar) I turn exactly to my last version before formatting? | 23:24 |
| OerHeks | openradeon is not bad, i play youtube, dual screen, wobbly windows .. | 23:25 |
| Hrx | so i wil install ubuntu 14.04 that's all | 23:25 |
| Hrx | thnx for the help <3 | 23:26 |
| dax | it's just "radeon". and "amdgpu" sans underscore, for that matter | 23:26 |
| OerHeks | giovanni, basicly yes. | 23:26 |
| giovanni | OerHeks what do you mean with basicly? | 23:27 |
| giovanni | It is as I said or something can go wrong | 23:27 |
| giovanni | ? | 23:27 |
| k1l | 230m is R5? i think that is not supported by amd anymore | 23:27 |
| Hrx | yes R5 | 23:28 |
| dax | should work fine with the radeon driver | 23:28 |
| dax | i.e., out of the box | 23:28 |
| OerHeks | if you perform a full backup, yes. if you do just your /home/ folder, settings will be present but you need to reinstall all programs too. | 23:28 |
| Hrx | dax i'm going with fglrx .. it's still supported by ubuntu 14.04 | 23:29 |
| dax | *shrug* | 23:29 |
| dax | fglrx was crap when it was supported, and it's a dead end now, but do what you will | 23:30 |
| Hrx | cuz i can"t do anythiing :( | 23:30 |
| === spont4e is now known as spont4e[0xff] | ||
| giovanni | a full back up restore the entire system at 100%? All the applications too? All the customizations I did (themes, icon, launcher, permissions)? And the data? | 23:30 |
| giovanni | OerHeks | 23:30 |
| giovanni | How can I do a full back up? | 23:31 |
| wedgie | giovanni: if that's what you are looking for you may be better off with a disk imaging solution like clonezilla | 23:36 |
| Hrx | giovanni u can try to make an iso os | 23:36 |
| Hrx | it means your private os | 23:37 |
| giovanni | An iso I create from this one? | 23:37 |
| giovanni | How can I do it? | 23:37 |
| giovanni | Clonezilla? | 23:38 |
| Hrx | check this : http://www.techrepublic.com/article/create-a-live-system-iso-for-your-ubuntu-based-linux-machines-using-systemback/ | 23:40 |
