tatertotstrying to grep the month and day from a log file with cat logfile|egrep "Feb( |6)"   also tried "egrep "Feb 6"00:25
tatertotsit's shows nothing....can someone spot the flaw in my syntax and provide a correct syntax?00:25
Bashing-omtatertots: " egrep "Feb (|11)" /var/log/syslog00:32
Bashing-omtatertots: ^^ works for me .00:33
tatertotsBashing-om: thanks00:35
Bashing-omtatertots: that be egrep "Feb (|11)" /var/log/syslog . bad paste on my part .00:35
tatertotsBashing-om: when i use that on my auth.log it prints the entire month of febuary...so odd00:37
tatertotsBashing-om: the auth logs has double white space after the month this worked grep Feb"[[:space:]]""[[:space:]]"600:40
elisa871please have a look at this Jupyter question http://askubuntu.com/questions/882757/theres-no-choice-to-create-a-python2-7-notebook-in-jupyter00:41
drpresidentcan anyone help me with ubuntu touch? nobody is responding in that channel00:42
Bashing-omtatertots: ouch same .. not expected !00:43
gabrielesignori buonasera00:46
tatertotsBashing-om: funning thing is the grep Feb"[[:space:]]""[[:space:]]"6  syntax finds the entries in auth.log for febuary 6th but merely changing the 6 to a 12 for today finds nothing at all, but if i just visually look at the entire file i can see entries for Feb 12th...i think my mind has just exploded00:46
gabrieleho un fastidiosissimo problema da porvi00:46
k1lgabriele: this is the english channel. for italian type "/join #ubuntu-it"00:47
gabrielek1l, sorry00:47
gabrielek1l, i have a question00:48
gabrielek1l, when i stay at home i connect an external monitor to my laptop, i set it as primary, but at the login screen i see it like a secondary and can't type the password00:49
gabriele(because i don't see anything), only a desktop image00:49
Bashing-omtatertots: Playing with it here .. and grep Feb"[[:space:]]"11 /var/log/syslog.1 - performs as expected with mine but a single space .. hummmm ..00:49
k1lgabriele: you can login blindly. or you move the mouse to the other monitor and the password field will change to that00:50
gabrielek1l, there isn't any other solutions?^00:51
gabrielei prefer to see the login screen on my monitor external00:52
k1lgabriele: when 2 monitors are attached the password field is on the one where the mouse is.00:52
gabrielek1l, when my 2 monitors are attacched on my 2° monitor i see only a desktop background and the mouse. it's like a secondary monitor but i set it as primary00:54
Bashing-omtatertots: Double quotes !  - sysop@x1604:~$ grep Feb""[[:space:]]"12"[[:space:]]12:22"" /var/log/syslog.1 -01:00
gabrielek1l, fortunately i'm more stubborn than ubuntu01:05
gabrielei found the solution01:05
k1lgabriele: what was it?01:05
gabrielein /etc/lightDM/setting of ubuntu and set system monitor from 0 to 101:06

aroonihey folks; so apparently i can SSH from my ubuntu laptop to my mac mini on my local network no problem using an id_rsa key.  but when i try to connect to the same computer via its public ip address its not accepted... ideas?02:02
hehehefirewall rules?02:03
=== longerstaff13 is now known as longerstaff
B103PH3R3arooni: you key isn't accepted or your not getting a connection to that point?02:04
hehehek1l: hmm weird it says it cant find newer version, lbs command shows 16.0402:04
heheheyet dpkg still locked...02:04
heheheI was thinking its wise to fix broken packages before reboot02:05
heheheif any02:05
arooniB103PH3R3: i think key isnt getting accepted; i'm seeing debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply02:05
B103PH3R3arooni: what does your SSH log show anything?02:06
B103PH3R3arooni: Are you allowing all ips to connect to ssh and if you ssh bound to all ips or just one ip?02:06
B103PH3R3what server your running opensshd?02:07
hehehecfhowlett: it simply says its newest already02:07
arooniwhere is the ssh log?02:07
=== Wulf4 is now known as Wulf
B103PH3R3located in /var/log/auth.log02:07
cfhowletthehehe, then you are fully upgraded.  congrats02:07
aroonii'm jusg using whatever you get when you click ssh server enabled in system preferences => sharing02:08
B103PH3R3follow the file and then try and connect see if you get any extra info and such02:08
B103PH3R3ok so its probably openssh-server then02:08
B103PH3R3vesion 16.04?02:08
arooniyes02:08
aroonii'm ocnnecting from ubuntu => mac02:08
hehehecfhowlett:  well then why dpkg is still locked?02:09
B103PH3R3so the ssh server is on the mac your trying to connect to or your trying to connect to ubuntu from mac>?02:09
arooniB103PH3R3: right;  ubuntu is the client; ssh server is on the mac02:09
cfhowletthehehe, read the aptlock factoid:   /msg ubottu aptlock02:09
B103PH3R3oh ok02:09
B103PH3R3so you need to check the logs on the mac02:09
OerHekshehehe, my advise: reboot in recovery mode and finish upgrade02:09
B103PH3R3and make sure your ssh server on the mac isn't allowing just local ips02:09
B103PH3R3not sure how to help you with the mac ssh but I would check your config on the ssh server for the mac make sure your allowing all IPS to connect02:10
aroonigothca02:10
B103PH3R3the mac have a public and local ip or are you using a router to port forward to the mac from outside?02:10
hehehecfhowlett: how it works, its setting stuff up02:11
cfhowletthehehe, it's all in the wrist ...02:11
arooniB103PH3R3: giving it a public ip from the router02:11
B103PH3R3arooni: so the mac machine has a public ip with no firewall enabled?02:12
B103PH3R3you may be want to try ssh into the ubuntu box from the outside and see i fthat works02:12
B103PH3R3then you know its a mac problem not a port forwarding firewall problems02:12
aroonitheres a firewall;02:13
B103PH3R3may be a cause also but...02:13
aroonii think i was trying to connect on the wrong port02:14
aroonias i made my publicly accessible ssh port something other than 22 for security reaosns02:14
B103PH3R3the client that your using to connect with is the same client your using from the outside work02:14
B103PH3R3so make sure you specify the port when your connecting if you using ubuntu console use -P at the end02:14
arooniyeah now with the correct port; its connecting no problem02:15
aroonithanks for walking me through it B103PH3R3  :)02:16
B103PH3R3no problem.... so your making it past the router?02:16
B103PH3R3or not making past the router?02:16
B103PH3R3always glad to help a fellow penguin army member02:16
hehehe:D02:16
aroonii'm connected on ssh over the public ip address (through router )02:17
hehehearooni: also do u run open source soft on router?02:17
B103PH3R3oh so its working?02:17
arooniyup!02:17
B103PH3R3nice02:17
heheheit can help against certain attacks02:17
aroonihehehe: yeah padavan firmware ; i would be running ddwrt if my damn $20 router supported it lol02:17
aroonisomeday ill get a better one02:17
heheheddwrt is da one02:17
B103PH3R3you should also try and use mac authentication for extra protection against network intrusion02:18
heheheit can be spoofed02:18
B103PH3R3if y ou using wifi02:18
arooniwhat is mac authentication02:18
B103PH3R3extra security for wifi clients02:18
B103PH3R3yes it can be spoofed but they have to find the mac02:18
B103PH3R3but you still need a security passphrase or key however you want to us02:19

JoniiIt did something, said "vlc successfully installed", but there is still no VLC installed02:24

B103PH3R3sudo apt-get install vlc02:27
JoniiI guess?02:27
Joniiyay, it worked. Though I'm still not sure, is the "snap" functionality completely dead?02:29
hehehe:)02:29
JoniiFor me this was more about finding out if there was any chance of that being a thing that could someday work at all, and the answer I seem to get is "no"02:29
turistait tell me that apt does nt have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts02:30
k1lJonii: no. "sudo snap list" does it list something?02:30
turistawith that stuff | pastebinit02:30
k1lturista: does it print a url after a while?02:30
Joniik1l: vlc02:30
Joniiand core02:30
turistait just stuck in blank02:30
k1lJonii: so it installed the vlc02:30
JoniiSo it says at least02:31
k1lJonii: press the windows button and then type vlc02:31
JoniiIt didn't work before I used apt install vlc02:31
JoniiNow that I did, it obviously works02:31

turistatell me if it will be okay02:39
OerHeksthere is a reason why we don't support that 3rd party intel driver02:39
k1lturista: first: you can remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old file02:40
turistawich's the command for it02:41
turistarm -d or something >_<02:41
k1lturista: sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old file02:41
cfhowlettturista, there it is.  you are using lucid in your sources and lucid is WAY dead02:41
eelstreborall of a sudden none of my users can print to the network printer unless they start up windows in virtualbox which prints ok - reinstalling cups did not fix the problem - HP indicates a filter failure & none of the "fixes" from a search fixes the problem02:41

turistahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/23986232/02:45
turistaI did type the rm plus the dir but it's not working anyway02:45
k1lturista: i gve you the exact command. and its not a dir, its a file.02:46
turistacan you repeat it but with the quotes?¿02:46
B103PH3R3turista: command should be "rm -v /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old" should give you an output02:46

B103PH3R3turista: you may have to sudo also02:46

cfhowlettturista, running as root is not recommended for any number of reasons02:50
cfhowlett!root02:50
ubottuDo not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo02:50
turistait says that it does not exist02:50
B103PH3R3so you may have deleted it already then02:51
cfhowletttruexfan81, lsb_release -d     says what?02:51

cfhowletthehehe, sorry that's way over my head.02:53
hehehenp02:54
truexfan81k1l: well common sense says at some point stable has to give way to EOL02:54
k1ltruexfan81: so there is a deadline when a program version is last updated in the development process. after that only security and bug patches. no version bump02:54
k1ltruexfan81: no. then the common sense doesnt know about stable release setups02:55
turistabut how do I remove lucid, show me the money02:55
cfhowletttruexfan81, I'm on 16.04 and my apt install -s mpv shows:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23986262/02:55

turistashould I just unmark it or something?¿02:56
truexfan81cfhowlett: 16.04 is LTS its will always be a bit behind the other short term releases02:56
cfhowletttruexfan81, indeed.  and unless one has a specific *NEED* for the latest shiny stuff, LTS works fine02:57
* truexfan81 always compiles ffmpeg, mpv from source02:57

turistalibpackagekit-glib2-18 <- why I can not install that package?03:09
k1lturista: sudo apt install libpackagekit-glib2-18    # and see why03:09
turistait says obsolete or does not exist03:10
k1lturista: its a 16.10 pacakge, not a 16.04 apcakge03:10
turistabut I need it to run the stuff03:10
turistathe intel updater stuff03:10
k1lPaket libpackagekit-glib2-16 is the 16.04 package03:10
OerHeksturista, there is a reason why we don't support that 3rd party intel driver, that package is Removed from disk on 2015-11-18. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/amd64/libpackagekit-glib2-1803:13
turistait says its already installed03:13
turistashould I add that to the source list?¿03:13
turistabut I'm using the 32 bit version03:13
OerHeksi think you are in a dependencie problem with proposed repos.03:14
k1lOerHeks: it only was in proposed. and turista had proposed activated. which is bad. since proposed is for the automated testings and not for users03:14
turistaI dunno what I'm doing03:14
OerHeksturista, do a fresh install, and you are back in 30 minutes03:15
turistaI just want to play wz2100 since several weeks ago; or tux racing but the drivers does not allow me it03:15

graffHey, my repositories can't be updated. Constantly  waiting to connect to.server05:01
cfhowlettgraff, what ubuntu version?05:01
graffAre there lots of.repos.down or somwthing? Or maybe I messed this install up05:01
cfhowlettgraff, - what - ubuntu - version - are - you - using?05:02
graffCfhiwlett, 16.04 lts, the iso  is about 3 months old05:02
cfhowlettgraff, then your mirror might be down for maintenance.  try an alternate05:02
graffBut I chose to install  over my old installation  with no formatting.  Maybe it got messed up05:03
graffKk05:03
lotuspsychjegraff: added ppa's of any kind?05:03
cfhowlettwhat you describe has exactly zero to do with downloading software05:03
graffNope, no changes to sources.list. no outside .debs05:04
graffMaybe the mirror is just moving really  slow. Us.archive.ubuntu.com, is there another that might work ok?05:06
lotuspsychjegraff: the #ubuntu-mirrors channel might know more of repos that are down atm?05:06
cfhowlettgraff, of course.  go into software settings, software sources, choose the best source05:06
graff( that seems like a round robin server that hands out a decent connection gemeralli)05:06

cyberspectrehey guise, suddenly pulseaudio isn't recognizing and of the output devices... no changes were made, it's random. Restart doesn't help. Fix?05:30
mpalumbodid y ou recently upgrade?05:30
Phanes-what am i looking at for usb game controller support in ubuntu?05:30
cyberspectrempalumbo,  I did not, I've been consciously avoiding it because I know the latest nvidia drivers brick my system05:31
lotuspsychjePhanes-: what kind of game cobtroller?05:31
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: wich ubuntu version and latest driver version brick your system?05:31
Phanes-lotuspsychje, whatever walmart will have when i go down in a few minutes05:32
Phanes-im gonna be looking at playing some steam and emulators05:32
cyberspectrelotuspsychje, I'm on 16.04 Gnome. Last time I tried to upgrade with nvidia proprietary drivers, it made gnome totally useless05:32
Phanes-probably logitech05:33
lotuspsychjePhanes-: depends on brands of the controller, but think 16.04 has now controller support out of the box for some brands05:33
Phanes-support's fine, how do i configure and map05:33
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: wich driver are you on now?05:33
cyberspectreRegardless, I haven't upgraded packages since the fresh install of 16.0405:33
cyberspectrebesides piece by piece, like vivaldi05:33
cyberspectrelotuspsychje, nvidia 367.5705:34
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: are you on 16.04.2 yet?05:34
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: what kind of graphics card?05:35
Ben64cyberspectre: quite silly to avoid updating05:35
cyberspectrelotuspsychje, looks like I'm on 16.04.1. Ben64 graphics card is a GTX67005:35
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: yep start to upgrade first, then we can look from there05:36
cyberspectreover the years, I've learned to adopt a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality when faced with these issues. Was waiting until I heard about the drivers being fixed05:37
Ben64the drivers aren't broken05:37
cyberspectreIf I recall, it was an incompatibility between the drivers and the latest kernel05:38
cyberspectreAnyway, in for a penny... I'll upgrade now05:38
lotuspsychjecyberspectre: your idea is the reverse of security updates, if it aint broken, you should update anyway05:38
Phanes-lotuspsychje, what about a ps4 controller05:38
lotuspsychjePhanes-: best way is to test the device on your system mate05:39
tubalHello. I'm wondering why a USB standalone HD is not mounting, when it has before. syslog is unforthcoming on the subject. More important, can I mount it myself? What might its device name be?05:41
gnomethrowerHey everybody05:51
gnomethrowerapologies if this is an obvious question but my googling found nothing - how do you put a Ubuntu box into a state where on first boot it will generate new SSH host keys?05:51
Bashing-omtubal: does ' sudo fdisk -lu ' see the drive when plugged in ?05:51
gnomethrowerspecifically we're talking about Ubuntu 16.04 on a VMware host - I'm building a "golden image" to deploy from, with very basic stuff + a Salt minion05:52
gnomethrowerand don't want to have that image use the same hostkeys every time it's used05:52
rollcakeexcuse me.05:52
cyberspectrelotuspsychje, Ben64 so I upgraded, still no change with pulse. Actually, I just tried running alsamixer and it tells me "no such directory"05:53
rollcakeplsear, anybody help me about dconf, gsetting05:53
tubalBashing-om: No. Only the internal HD.05:53
mpalumbognomethrower: you want a new hostkey on each reboot?05:53
Ben64cyberspectre: what exactly are you typing05:54
gnomethrowermpalumbo: No, only on first boot05:54
gnomethrowermpalumbo: once ready, this machine will be shut down and then cloned when we need a new U16.04 box05:54
mpalumbognomethrower: are you using a clone of a previous VM?05:54
gnomethrowermpalumbo: No, I'm building an image right now05:54
gnomethrowermpalumbo: basically a brand new machine right now, which I want to turn into an image... and for safety, needs to gen new SSH keys when it first boots05:55
cyberspectreBen64, alsamixer05:55
Bashing-omtubal: Not good ! .. check cable and see also for bent pins . Until fdisk can see that drive - not much hope .05:55
mpalumbognomethrower: ok so you are building a new image to load multiple machines from and you want each machine to get a new ssh host key upon the first inital boot of the machine/vm05:56
gnomethrowermpalumbo: precisely :)05:56
gnomethrowermpalumbo: I don't want to be like DigitalOcean - https://missingm.co/2013/07/identical-droplets-in-the-digitalocean-regenerate-your-ubuntu-ssh-host-keys-now/ ;)05:56
tubalBashing-om: The cable works well enough to power the disk on, it's A/C plus USB.05:57
Ben64cyberspectre: doesn't sound like a standard ubuntu install05:57
mpalumbognomethrower: off the top i can't think of a effective way of doing it. let me check something05:57
gnomethrowermpalumbo: No problem. Thanks05:57
cyberspectreBen64, alsamixer isn't included in a standard ubuntu install?05:59
mpalumbognomethrower: you can try to remove the keys of the install you are creating the image out of06:01
gnomethrowermpalumbo: yep, trying that right now06:01
gnomethrowersupposedly ubuntu regens on boot06:01
gnomethrowerNope :(06:02
mpalumbowell I know ubuntu is basically debian, i know deb does not, at least deb7 does not.06:02
Ben64cyberspectre: the error message you say you got wouldn't happen on ubuntu06:02
gnomethrowerDigitalOcean suggests putting this in /etc/rc.local06:02
gnomethrowertest -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key || dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server06:02
gnomethrower( @ mpalumbo )06:02
mpalumbognomethrower: http://technodrone.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-ssh-key-problem-with-cloned-linux.html06:02
mpalumbognomethrower: that is roughly like one of the suggestions in this blog post. I think that might boot you in the right direction06:03
gnomethrowermpalumbo: perfect, I will have a look06:03
gnomethrowerthank you for your help :)06:03
mpalumbognomethrower: no worries, sorry I could not be more help06:03
gnomethrowermpalumbo: No problem, it has me scratching my head too!06:04
gnomethrowerI'06:04
gnomethrowerAll the "solutions" feel very slightly janky ;)06:04
mpalumbognomethrower: i am wondering if it may come down to writing a quick shell script that you can put into the system load and have it remove itself after the first run06:05
tubalBashing-om: Good call. The mini-USB on the HD end was not fully inserted.06:10
Bashing-omtubal: :) - fdisk no see ,, then it down to the hardware level .06:13
tubalBashing-om: A good lesson. I'll remember. Thanks.06:13

cfhowlettturista, it's in the repos so ask  yourself WHY you would to use a strange, non-repo source?06:58

cfhowlettBashing-om, and apt install -s shows no such package.07:02
turistaits available in red but, it would be so girly; so I'll use the first glass one07:02
turistagosh it will install skype now, awesome07:04
Bashing-omcfhowlett: Here on 16.04 install of skype is doable from the repo : Conf skype (4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Partner archive:16.04/xenial [amd64]).07:04
turistaI'd rather to use line but you know, I've lots of ppl in that account07:04
cfhowlettBashing-om, and it shows up after I enable parters so that's where it is - on 16.04 at least.  OTOH, msoft may/may not throw the kill switch on skype linux next month so they seem to be pushing us to the web app07:04

CuChulaindcfhowlett, It won't run unfortunately07:10
cfhowlettput the query to the channel CuChulaind.  give the details. note that this *should* have worked, but I've never had to do it as I am a tad paranoid about cleaning old packages and kernels07:11
turistabye-bye by now07:11
CuChulaindcfhowlett, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23987147/07:11
cfhowlettgbellinoz, also worth reading   http://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/using_more_than_one_audio_device/07:12
gbellinozcfhowlett: Ah!  JACK!  I knew it would come up.07:12
CuChulaindHi all, I tried to install a package, upon running the apt-get install I received the message that gzip didn't have enough room, leading me to believe I had too many kernels07:13
gbellinozHmm... I don't want to mix multiple soundcards, just the output and mic input of one.07:13
cfhowlettCuChulaind, dpkg -l | grep linux-image*      to see if your removal worked. those errors seem to be advisory only07:13
alkisgCuChulaind: what's the output of: df -h | nc termbin.com 999907:13
alkisgCuChulaind, cfhowlett, about the kernel removal, it won't work properly if you don't have /dev/pts bind-mounted to the chroot07:13
gbellinozWell, that's a worry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation07:14
cfhowlettalkisg, he reported a 100% /boot.  I advised him to boot a USB and chroot to remove kernels07:14
gbellinoz50007:14
alkisgcfhowlett: why not the real session, instead of a usb boot?07:14
CuChulaindI tried, while in the system to apt-get autoremove old kernel, but, no room. I have no booted into a liveUSB, I believe mounted my hdd, and chrooted into that dir, tried removing the kernels, and received the following output: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23987147/07:14
alkisgCuChulaind, cfhowlett, doesn't it boot normally anymore?07:14
cfhowlettalkisg, full /boot = no room for normal operations07:14
cfhowlettgbellinoz, thanks for the update!  I'll advise the Ubuntustudio team07:15
alkisgcfhowlett, CuChulaind, if the system can boot normally, it's best to boot there, and try to clean /boot from there07:15
alkisgNot from a usb boot07:15
gbellinozcfhowlett: It's back.  Temporary 500.07:15
cfhowlettgbellinoz, noted07:15
CuChulaindcfhowlett, Running the dpkg showed the kernel still available, running df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 returns:07:16
CuChulaindf: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory07:16
CuChulaindnc: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution07:16
alkisgCuChulaind: run that on another terminal, not within the chroot command07:16
alkisgCuChulaind: but if you already know that /boot is 100% full, then boot normally, and remove kernels from there, I'll help you on how to do it07:16
cfhowlettgbellinoz, do you have ubuntustudio booted?07:16
CuChulaindalkisg, yes boot is full07:17
gbellinozcfhowlett: Nope, plain 16.04.07:17
alkisgCuChulaind: can you boot normally?07:17
CuChulaindalkisg, yes, here is the output you asked for http://termbin.com/0i8r07:17
gbellinozWould like to try a bootable so JACK doesn't, well, jack my audio setup permanently.07:17
CuChulaindalkisg, will boot normally and get back07:17
alkisgCuChulaind: actually, wait07:18
cfhowlettgbellinoz, ok. I don't see a way to configure multi-line input on audacity, but it sounds like it should be doable.  perhaps time to ask #linuxaudio07:18
CuChulaindalkisg, ok07:18
alkisgCuChulaind: one quick method to solve that issue, is to copy /boot to your /07:18
alkisgCuChulaind: and completely "ignore" the /boot partition from fstab07:18
alkisgCuChulaind: is that solution ok for you?07:18
alkisgCuChulaind: another solution is to grow your /boot partition. It's very small.07:19
gbellinozcfhowlett: thanks.  2017, thought this would be better than last time I looked :)07:19
CuChulaindalkisg, is it safe to grow that partition as my setup is? I would prefer to remove old, then set it to auto remove old, keeping 207:19
cfhowlettgbellinoz, we're on all valve time ...07:19
alkisgCuChulaind: what's the output of: sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 999907:20
CuChulaindalkisg, do you mean to mount the boot partition to / of my live usb, not copy it07:20
=== Varazir is now known as Zedde
hateballCuChulaind: you can just rm the kernels to free up space, then autoremove will work. the scripts will complain a bit, but it'll be fine07:20
=== Zedde is now known as Varazir
gbellinozubuntustudio live image - pretty fast and easy test.  It's probably my fault for using the built-in sound card.07:20
alkisgCuChulaind: I mean for you to copy the contents of boot, which is /dev/sda2, to /, which is /dev/sda4. The usb stick isn't involved there.07:21
CuChulaindalkisg, http://termbin.com/dhgh07:21
CuChulaindalkisg, I'm not seeing any room to speak of on the sda07:22
alkisgCuChulaind: ok, decide what you want to do. Grow /boot? Copy /boot to root partition? Only delete old kernel?07:22
alkisgCuChulaind: select 1, 2 or 3 :)07:22
CuChulaindhateball, If I understand you are saying simply remove, say one of the many kernels with rm, and the package manager will figure it all out07:22
CuChulaindalkisg, alkisg why copy boot to / vs mounting it?07:23
alkisgCuChulaind: your existing 0.5 GB will cause issues again in the future if you ever forget to only keep 2 kernels07:24
CuChulaindalkisg, I'm not against increasing the size of root, where are we going to take it from?07:24
hateballCuChulaind: Yes07:24
CuChulaindincrease size of boot rather07:24
CuChulaindalkisg, for now let me simply remove an old kernel file07:25
alkisgCuChulaind: your next partition there is linux-swap, so you would take it from there07:25
alkisgCuChulaind: it's 16 GB, too big anyway07:25
CuChulaindalkisg,07:25
alkisg 3      600MB   16.6GB  16.0GB  linux-swap(v1)07:25
alkisgCuChulaind: you can resize both of them with gparted, graphically07:25
CuChulaindalkisg, gotcha, well, let's then take a few gig from the swap07:25
alkisgJust take care to unmount everything first07:25
alkisgSo, exit from chroot,07:26
alkisgunmount everything including swap,07:26
alkisgrun gparted, and resize swap to e.g. 14 gb, and grow /boot to 2.5 GB07:26
alkisgThen the package manager will work normally from the real session, no need to do anything else from the live session07:27
CuChulaindalkisg, I exited chroot, then unmount the /boot inside root and also the /root inside /mnt07:27
alkisgCuChulaind: also run `sudo swapoff -a`07:27
alkisgThen run sudo gparted /dev/sda07:27
CuChulaindalkisg, to be safe shall I simply reboot into my liveusb?07:27
alkisgCuChulaind: nah, gparted will tell you if something is still mounted07:27
cfhowlettalkisg, CuChulaind, I am embarrassed to admit, this option didn't occur to me.07:28
CuChulaindalkisg, I have gparted running07:28
CuChulaindalkisg, those were still mounted in /media, they are not umounted07:29
alkisgCuChulaind: so you had them mounted 2 times, which is kinda bad07:29
alkisgCuChulaind: unmount them from there as well07:29
CuChulaindYeah . .07:30
cfhowlett... kinda ...07:30
CuChulaind:-(07:30
CuChulaindgparted shows them as unmounted now07:30
alkisgCool, proceed with shrinking swap07:30
CuChulaindsimply right click resize the swap07:30
CuChulaindok07:30
alkisgOnly touch the swap partition left side07:30
alkisgRight07:30
alkisgcfhowlett: no worries mate, that's the nice thing with many people being around in a channel, anyone can intervene and say his ideas about the issues at hand07:31
zetaShould ubuntu server have as much swap as there are memory (it is the default) ? I currently have 32 GB swap and running out of disk space on root, so thinking about lowering it.07:32
CuChulaindalkisg, ok, resized via pulling left side to right side (free space in front), now apply it?07:32
alkisgCuChulaind: yup07:32
alkisgCuChulaind: *after* applying, then grow /boot too07:32
CuChulaindalkisg, done07:33
alkisgCuChulaind: when all resized are applied, reboot to the normal session, and run `apt-get install -f`07:33
alkisg*sudo07:33
CuChulaindalkisg, http://termbin.com/11ue07:34
alkisgCuChulaind: seems fine to me :)07:34
CuChulaindalkisg, reboot?07:35
alkisgYup07:35
CuChulaindsee you in a bit07:35
cfhowlettzeta, 32 gb seems extreme but ask #ubuntu-server07:36
alkisgzeta: run `free` on a busy day to see how much swap you actually use07:38
CrazyTuxhi, I have one question. Can I get the same performance from Lubuntu Desktop installed over Ubuntu as when I get if I install Lubuntu itself?07:38
alkisgzeta: the swap=ram idea is for hibernation, i think, so if you're not using hibernation that way, ignore that idea07:38
cfhowlettCrazyTux, this is silly.  you've asked variations on this very question at least a dozen times over the weekend.  my advice: CHOOSE A LANE.  install the ubuntu you like/want and learn it.  after 3 months of use, consider changing.07:39
CrazyTuxok07:39
CrazyTuxthanks.07:39
tatertotsCrazyTux: yeah you need to pick a lane and stay in it07:40
tatertotsyou doing too much07:40
CrazyTuxIs it safe to install a package downloaded from the internet? I have downloaded .deb files of Dropbox, Google Earth and Chrome from their respective websites and want to install on Ubuntu.07:41
cfhowlettand you have asked that question repeatedly as well, so you already KNOW the answer.  stop playing around07:42
CrazyTuxAs far as I remember, I didn't ask this question.07:42
cfhowlettwith rare expeptions, use apps from the software center only.07:43
CrazyTuxok.07:43
cfhowlettcheck the current install tutorial for those 3 apps on the ubuntu support wiki07:43

I want to migrate a bunch of users from Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04 LTS (freh install).  They are all using Thunerbird and IMAP (only) to access their mail.  How can I transfer their old .thunderbird account settings to the new machine to keep the accounts and login data (but get rid of all other crap that accumulated over the years – like a .thunderbird dir of 24 GB)?11:10
sunrunner20__cpu11:10
k1lvlt: i guess the 24Gb are  the old email data with all the attachments etc.11:11
sunrunner20__vlt, no offence but that setup is a disaster waiting to happen11:11
=== Gazyrlezon is now known as Nery
sunrunner20__that said11:12
sunrunner20__ifyou're not trying to automate11:12
sunrunner20__you should just be able to copy the profile over11:12

sunrunner20__won't thudnderbird just resync the data once its pointed to the IMAP server?11:14
vltk1l: The corresponding maildir on the imap server is only 6.6 GB in size o_O11:15
sunrunner20__sorry ducasse, old school irc from when I was a kid. COuld never get a word in untill I blasted something out in 10s or less11:15
vltsunrunner20__: Which setup is a disaster?11:15
sunrunner20__having the mail stored on local machines11:16
vltsunrunner20__: I don’t want that.11:16
vltsunrunner20__: I want the users to open their (new) thunderbird on 16.04 and have access to their mail on the IMAP server.11:17
sunrunner20__i'm not sure how imap on linux works11:18
sunrunner20__but imap with exchange/outlook11:18
sunrunner20__the local file is 100% a cache of whats on the server11:18
ducassevlt: so basically, you want to copy the account info for thunderbird from 12.04 to 16.04?11:18
vltducasse: Yes.11:18
sunrunner20__afaik you can directly do that by copyign the folders then setting the default profile in thunderbird11:19
ducassevlt: afaict they seem to be stored in logins.json11:19
vltducasse: So I just put hte file logins.json from the old .thunderbird to an otherwise empty ~/.thunderbird?11:20
sunrunner20__and then tell thunderbird its there11:23
ducassevlt: i'm not sure what you need to copy from the profile other than that, this is just guesswork from looking at the files.11:23
sunrunner20__I think its shift + launch thunderbird11:23
ducasse'thunderbird --ProfileManager', it seems.11:25
vltsunrunner20__: I don’t understand half of what you’re saying. What does shift mean in this context? How to “tell” thunderbird?11:25
ducassevlt: you could also just rsync the thunderbird dir and exclude the imap cache11:26
vltducasse: Good idea.11:26
sunrunner20__vlt, shift should bring up the profile manager11:26
vltsunrunner20__: ?11:26
vltsunrunner20__: ELI5?11:27
Ilyaswhen I change the rsyslog.conf, do I need to manually load it in in order to 'apply' it ?11:28
vltducasse: Is it ~/.thunderbird/<profile_id>/ImapMail/?11:29
sunrunner20__nevermind me11:30
ducassevlt: seems right.11:30
sunrunner20__it doesn' twork anymore11:30

shomonhi, I just attempted to upgrade to 16.04 and it seems to have come back with some errors after reboot: X gets permission denied when it tries to start a console, and the light on the ethernet cable won't even go on..11:56
shomonlspci recognises the card but I suspect some driver didn't install11:56
shomonhow can I get the missing bits or correct these errors just so I can get it back online at least11:57

shomonk1l: but maybe if I can get the ethernet card somehow into modprobe I could install the missing bits?12:09
shomonyes there might be.. I can check..12:10
shomonnothing particularly wierd in sources.list.. maybe it all got overwritten with the upgrade..12:11
k1lshomon: its in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder12:12

Popziwhats a good way to setup VNC on a server? I think I have a bot brute forcing the password and locking me out :P14:21
Piciz1haze_work: one way would be to symlink from /var/www/img.mydomain.com/public to /home/myuser/public and then tell apache/nginx/whatever to follow symlinks. Or change your httpd configuration to explicitly point to /home/myuser/public14:23
z1haze_worki like option 1, thank you14:23

z1haze_workone more question though.. for taking screenshots in this software.. how do i tell it to upload everything to my server? i took an exampe screenshot and did upload and it gives errors14:31
z1haze_worknewtonsoft json reader exception stuff14:32
Piciz1haze_work: to make it upload automatically, from the After capture tasks dropdown, choose "upload image to host".  Also for errors, I have no idea.  It does look like they have a #sharex channel here though.14:34

tempnickk1l: The drive is LUKS lvm encrypted and has a ton of my valuable data on there. :(14:57
Intransi guess ill just reinstall :(14:58
BluesKajIntrans, do you dual boot with windows ?14:59
k1ltempnick: ok, i am not familiar with luks. and the system sees the disk (in dmesg). its just that there is something wrong with partitiontable and/or partitions. but i am not aware of how that should be with luks at that point. what happened before the issue? is this an external drive?14:59

Intransi think15:00
Intransany wayi can repair it?15:00
k1lIntrans: use an older ubuntu/kernel in grub15:00
tempnickk1l: This is an internal drive which the BIOS recognizes but once the OS boots up it appears nowhere. It's so weird. I pulled out the drive an kung fu'd some cables to connect it via USB and *THEN* the OS recognizes it, but it does not mount and shows the disk as 'No Media'15:00
Intransis there any way I can repair my existing insatll15:01

tcanabrava_k1l: well, I'm using ubuntu-vannilla here.15:02

k1ltcanabrava_: since its a kde program one needs to install a bunch of kde stuff to run it.15:03
tcanabrava_k1l: agreed... it seems the deps are missing.15:04
tempnickk1l: :/ If I was able to ridiculously image the drive... I don't even know how to complete that thought. Actually, I am able to run 'testdisk' on the drive and it will examine it block by block so if I understand correctly it may *not* be a bad controller... maybe. Let's assume that?15:04

k1lash_workz: ok, once again: ubuntu has a development phase for the releases. that is the time when the packages get updated and are tested. then before the release date that version is freezed to be able to test it against the other programs and make sure they work altogether. then on release there wont be an update to the version since it would need all other packages to be tested again. that is what the stable release model is about.15:40
ash_workzk1l: I see; that's very through15:41

OerHekswalrider,  upgrade perhaps? else it is a no go  i guess16:41
axk4545ShekharReddy: does the organization provide a version of anyconnect for linux?16:41
lmatducasse: I think I'm okay there...it's behind a firewall which doesn't have any port forwarding to that machine (except SSH), so it's only vulnerable to the local network, which I can tolerate.16:42
k1laxk4545: i dont know how much you want to change the iso and what kind of redistribution you plan there. but since you asked about that i think canonical itself can best answer that to you.16:42
lmatducasse: But maybe it's not a bad idea to set up a IPFILTER to drop packages to that port...16:42
OerHekssiux, only the next 17.04 gets 7.1 .. so you run a beta ubuntu?16:42
walrideri better stay with trusty cause it is most stable enought16:43
lmatducasse: Do you happen to know what port? I thought SMTP is 25?16:43
axk4545ShekharReddy: https://askubuntu.com/questions/154699/how-do-i-install-the-cisco-anyconnect-vpn-client#15479716:43
OerHekssiux, untill release, seek help in #ubuntu+116:43
siuxok thx16:43
ducasselmat: smtp is 25, if you have smtp over ssl that is 587.16:44
lmatducasse: Both ports are listening, but I'm happy to report they're listening as  127.0.0.1:25. Good news: the default configuration is pretty secure!16:45
siuxOerHeks, and yea i suppose beta, running 14.04 with new ppa for php 5.6/7.0/7.1 and only terminal version isnt right, apache runs perfect with 7.016:46
k1lsiux: so the PPA only ships 7.1 instead of 7.0?16:47
OerHeks14.04 is not beta, you got me off track with 7.1 without mentioning that ppa16:47
ducasselmat: great :) be aware, though, that sendmail has had a pretty horrible track record of local security issues as well. don't know how much that matters to you, but...16:47
OerHeks7.0 also, i read16:47
siuxyea both16:48
ducasselmat: this was some time ago, though, dunno how they've done as of late.16:48
lmatducasse: That's good to know.16:48
siuxapache is configured to use 7.0 and all is good, jsut cant get terminal/cli php to run on 7.016:48
siuxno idea how to bind it16:49
siuxsomehow with set PATH="" and stuff or alias php="" or something, but nothing is working16:50
siuxwhen i use composer it will always use 7.1 and fail cause some dependencies require 7.016:50
Picisiux: Assuming you have the proper php-cli package installed, use sudo update-alternatives --config php16:50

nick_regThank you ubottu17:00
OerHeksnacc, tgm4883 i have no wine, i am 100% sure about that. he did backup files and removed them, so there was a windows trash, i removed that17:00
tgm4883OerHeks: odd, I'm not sure how that's possible then since the popup you posted is from a wine install17:01
OerHeksi have no clue how this could happen at all :-(17:01
nick_regOkay ...17:01
nick_regThere's noone alive17:01
nick_regDo you know why network-manager doesn't work ?17:02
OerHeksi was nervous so i delted my trash too .. too late to find out what has written to .wine17:02
tgm4883nick_reg: just because that channel is dead doesn't make this the support channel for Linux Mint17:02
ducassenick_reg: as ubottu said, #linuxmint-help is not on freenode17:02
tgm4883nick_reg: either ask in there and wait, or use a distro that has a support base17:02
nick_regI mean ... imagine: after configuring pppoe with pppoeconf no network-manager before "sudo service network-manager restart"17:03
ducassenick_reg: you are asking in the wrong place17:04

RJW2Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a ubuntu-equivalent to the keyboard shortcut windows+cursor --> aligning a window left or right on the screen, so it's easy to have two windows side by side to compare etc. It also works fine to move windows to the second screen etc.... so is there such a thing, and if so, how does it work in ubuntu?19:40
YounderWorm_in_a_Box, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12532/dd-vs-cat-is-dd-still-relevant-these-days19:42
k1l_RJW2: if you mean tiling, then ubuntu got that, yes. just drag the window to the right or left edge so it will be made half the size automatically19:42
RJW2k1l_ that's basically exactly what I'm looking for, but it would be even more convenient if there were keyboard shortcuts for it.19:43
k1l_RJW2: hold super (the winows key) to see the shortcuts19:43
k1l_RJW2: like ctrl+alt+numpad19:44
RJW2that's actually cool that it works with the numpad.... I'll try that - as soon as I contected a keyboard to my 14" laptop ;-)19:45
brandor5Hello everyone :) I'd like to mirror the ppc64el version of xenial, but it looks like it's meshed into the ports of all other arch... is there a simple way I can only grab the arch I want?19:46
wendicoHello. Do you know any ubuntu software that i can use to create animated presentations "on the fly"?. I see youtubers that seems to add pictures to the video they are recording "on the fly". I see how they touch the computer and a picture appears on a corner of the screen while they are recording. It doesnt seem to be added on a post edition. I would like to upload videos with a mix of myself talking, screen captures and pictures wi19:46
alkisgWorm_in_a_Box: you're booting from a usb stick and you can't mount its second partition as rw? That doesn't sound right, what's the error message there?19:48

lernerim watching a 720p bluray movie on my new notebook (14'', ubuntu 16.10) and the fan wont stop spinning and making an awful noise. This unit does not have a dedicated graphics card, just a kaby lake processor and I wonder: is this how things are going to be , each time I watch a movie?20:27
sm222that also works if you just remove everything after the ?20:27

er000kHello !20:31
er000kI have simple question. I installed AMDGPU-PRO drivers, and where is control panel ?20:31
wendicolerner: hd video is a very intense work for a laptop, it makes fans to be noisy to cool down. u can use software like psensor to watch your laptop temperature to see why the fan needs to run full speed. Maybe you can adjust fan speed in your bios settings so your laptop can be hotter but not so noisy. Nothing else you can do.20:32
max12345ya hi20:32
max12345I'm apt-upgrading20:32
max12345update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-47-generic20:32
lernerwendico, ifI start a virtual  machine, will the notebook also be this loud?20:33
lerneri dont want the notebook to burn20:33
max12345I'm generating like 30 of those. Why? Can I make it stop?20:33
er000kI have simple question. I installed AMDGPU-PRO drivers 16.60 for Ubuntu 16.04, and where is control panel ?20:33
OerHekslerner, i guess in a vm that fan will go higher20:33
naccmax12345: probably you've not ccleaned out your kernels (apt-get autoremove, e.g.)20:34
wendicolerner: depens on how intesive is the use of the processor. Just for starting it it wont be so laud. If the processor gets very busy either on the host or in the guess session, yes, it will be that noisy20:34
naccmax12345: stopping it is not advised, necessarily, as you don't want to break your boot. Instead, clean the kernels out after its doen and it won't take so long next time.20:34
lernerso you guys runs virtualizations on desktops...20:35
wendicoleaner: tip: doing anything on a virtual machine takes more resources than running on the host machine20:35
max12345nacc: yeah that's because autoremove also removes manually installed packages I need for a build :S ok, at least I know now what it does to my upgrade process20:36
naccmax12345: no it shouldn't.20:36
naccmax12345: if you specify `apt-get install <pkgname>` autoremove should not remove it, iir20:37
lernerwendico, OerHeks have you ever applied oilor butter to the contact partsof a fan, so its not so noisy?20:37
er000khow to change DPI (Logitech G100S) this mouse have button "dpi switch" but in default is over 1000dpi, i need 400dpi20:37
dgarstangI'm booting an AWS Ubuntu AMI with 2 x 2Tb disks. Looks like cloud-init only formats them to 1Tb???20:37
naccdgarstang: probably want #ubuntu-server20:38
wendicoleaner: many times, but not on a new fan, that of putting oils is only applicable to a worn fan, you just said your laptop is new20:38
dgarstangk20:38
wendicolerner:^20:38
OerHekslerner, ugh no .. who gave you that tip ? fans nowadays do not need lubricant20:38
lernerI read that on a blog iirc20:38
ioriaer000k, for your first question : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-CCC-Linux-Doing-The-Pre-Req20:39
lernerso I need a desktop with a huge fan to watch movies...20:39
qmrupdate-initramfs is not returning.  wtf?20:40
OerHekslerner *if* you had an old laptop, degreasing and dusting the fan would do, a new laptop i would let it be .. or if you notice a difference with an other laptop ( same model) i would RMA20:40
qmrthis is a new server with 16.04, nothing special at all.  /boot has disk space20:40
wendicoOerheks, even in new fans, if worn, there is a sticker u can peel on the  back of the saft, add Residue-free lubricant (not butter or oil of course) and it will make less noise and run faster. I did try it myself20:41
qmrstrace shows it's stuck on wait4(-1,20:41

=== KindOne_ is now known as KindOne
lernerOerHeks, sadly my old notebook is a bigger one with a dedicatd graphics card20:42
OerHekswendico, that may work, my experience is just touching the fan too hard will make it worse20:42
qmralso, why does ubuntu server not boot to a working VTY?20:43
wendicoThis is how i do it and it works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPyHBH3WwBM  and of course, be careful to apply any pressure to the fan that will make the shaft even worse and thus make more noise20:44
wendicobtw, all this is offtopic, sorry20:44
OerHeksqmr, the bootline might need some tweak to get the proper resolution, server does not contain videodrivers.20:44
wendicoHello, a software i want to use requieres OpenGL 3.2 or later,  this--> https://imagebin.ca/v/3CHsUocAKppT   is what my glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" says. Is that means that my opengl is version only 2.1? can i update that? thank you.20:45

TrelHmm, I'll try a few of those and see which works best.  All this because an ereader didn't have the consideration to change the package name of an app when they modified it.22:22
WeiJunLinacc: this is the output on busybox - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! UUID=...... does not exist. Dropping to a shell!22:22
TrelThey installed a modified FBReader, which is fine, but they used the legit package name, which means I can't install the unmodified one due to it being the same package, but signed differently.22:23
TrelSo, I needed to take the legit one, and customize the app+package name.22:23

ThreadBearHi - I'm trying to use sysctl to change some variables, but they dont seem to change. E.g sudo sysctl -w kernel.osrelease="1.2.3" does work. ANy ideas?22:25
naccThreadBear: i would expect osrelease to be read-only22:26
ThreadBearHmm ok - what I'm ultimately trying to do is change the contents of /proc/release -- is this even possible?22:27
naccThreadBear: /proc/release doesn't exist anymore22:27
naccThreadBear: maybe you meant something else (this is on 16.10)22:27
ThreadBearSorry I meant /proc/version22:27
naccThreadBear: why do you want to change that file?22:28
ThreadBearAha - this will sound stupid, but im doing a CTF competition that involves a binary that check the value of /proc/release for a certain value22:28
ThreadBearSo I want to change THAT value22:29
asdblefekewhen is the 16.04.2 point release going to be released? it has been delayed 3 times already.22:29

billymichaelHi, recently installed 16.04 but having a bit of a problem with my keyboard and mouse on boot22:33
billymichaelSeems to take a long time for it to recognise the mouse, sometimes it doesnt even seem to be giving power through the USB to the device. Never had this issue on windows22:33
billymichaelAny ideas?22:33
Bashing-omasdblefeke: " Looking like Thursday the 16th according to #ubuntu-release." ( howefield forum ) .22:34
naccThreadBear: have you verified in the source that /proc/version depends on the sysctl values22:35
billymichaelAlso seem to not be able to mouse click on certain windows when i open them.22:36
billymichaelEssentially, i'm having mouse problems22:36

WoLfHello everyone, I'm having a weird issue that I'm not sure how to approach.. After the last round of updates, my 16.04 installation, running on a laptop in init 3, keeps spinning down the hdd after a few minutes, and almost instantly spinning back up as new web traffic comes in.. It never did before.22:48
WoLfI think it might be something stuck thinking it's running on battery while it's not.. What would be the best way to resolve this issue?22:49
WoLfOh, sorry forgot to mention. it's being used as a web and home server.22:50

Womberthi... weird issue on 16:04, with sources "xenial main", "xenial-security main", "xenial-updates main" and "xenial universe"...23:29
WombertI can't "apt-get install libgraphviz-dev", it says "libgraphviz-dev : Depends: libgvc6-plugins-gtk (= 2.38.0-12ubuntu2.1) but it is not going to be installed"23:29
UbuntuMaxortry "sudo apt-get install" ing the dependencies23:29
Wombertso it's taking libgraphviz-dev from xenial-updates, where it depends on libgvc6-plugins-gtk (http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/libgraphviz-dev vs http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libgraphviz-dev)23:30
Wombertand when I "apt-get install libgvc6-plugins-gtk", then it gives me 2.38.0-12ubuntu2, not ...ubuntu2.1, so http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libgvc6-plugins-gtk and not http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/libgvc6-plugins-gtk23:30
Wombert(so then it says "libgraphviz-dev : Depends: libgvc6-plugins-gtk (= 2.38.0-12ubuntu2.1) but 2.38.0-12ubuntu2 is to be installed")23:31
Wombert(that message is not quit correct; it means "is installed", not "is to be installed", but anyway...)23:31
UbuntuMaxori'm not an expert, but i think you can wget those as well23:31
Wombertwhy does it pull the one from xenial-updates, and the other from xenial?23:31
Wombertthat's obviously not a fix, UbuntuMaxor23:32
UbuntuMaxorWhich is why i said i'm NOT an expert?23:32
Wombertclearly :p23:32

brainwashWombert: maybe run apt-get update23:33
WombertI did of course brainwash :)23:33

k1l_Wombert: can you show the output of "apt policy libgraphviz-dev libgvc6-plugins-gtk" and show that on paste.ubuntu.com and link it here?23:33

glachehi23:33
lerneraaarg... im using a 14'' notebook and the default size of the fonts is too small. how can I change font size for ALL programms to 16?23:35
Wombertmhm so the libgvc6-plugins-gtk package from updates is missing @k1l_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23991696/23:35
Wombertaaaah hold on, that's in updates universe, not main23:35
* Wombert adds source23:35
k1l_yes. you need to add the updates repos for all the channels23:36
k1l_the systemsettings will do that automatically23:36
WombertA++ rubberduck debugging k1l_, thanks a lot23:36

Wombert(no GUI or anything here, building Docker images)23:36
k1l_ok, than you need to do that manually :)23:37

Wombertk1l_: if they're all priority 500, then does their order matter?23:38

kzetI'm currently in the process of chaning username in Ubuntu 16.04. I'm at the point where I assign a "group" to the username or something. What is even a group? What should I put there as a "group name"?23:44
azizLIGHTif im on ubuntu 14.04 will i ever get new kernels like 4.423:45
theverbg@kzet: a group is just a form of permission... if you have a bunch of teachers on an install, you could make a group teachers23:45
kzetIt even wants me to put <old group> in as well.. but I have no clue what "group" I was in before.23:45
theverbgor a group students, for that matter23:45
theverbgusers go in a group23:45
theverbgand the group can be given permissions23:45
k1l_!hwe | azizLIGHT23:46
ubottuazizLIGHT: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack23:46
kzetbut this guide I'm using wants me to go: "groupmod -n <newgroup> <oldgroup>".23:46
kzetI have no idea what "group" I was in before.23:46
theverbgkzet: groups <username>23:46
theverbgwill give you groups a user is part of23:46
kzetI did that, but it told me that username doesn't exist. :/23:47
kzetCould that be because I did the whole usermod thing before this groupmod change?23:47
azizLIGHTk1l_: what is meant by GA stack? " if one wants to remain on the original GA stacks"23:47
theverbgit doesn't seem like adduser typically asks groups?23:47
theverbgI don't remember it ever asking for groups off the top of my head23:47
theverbgit asks for organization and a few other things23:47
theverbgphone #23:47
k1l_azizLIGHT: that is the new setup on1 6.04.23:48
theverbgold unix holdover stuff from history23:48
kzetLets say I can't get information aboubt what group I was in earlier, on my other username. How would I deal with this situation?23:48
kzetWhere it wants me to add a newgroup and the oldgroup.23:48
theverbgoldgroup can probably be left blank23:48
k1l_azizLIGHT: you can use the 3.13 on 14.04 it came with. or the 4.4 backported kernel from 16.04.23:48
kzetalright, I'll try that out.23:49
kzetthanks!23:49
theverbgohhh, you are changing user not adding one23:49
theverbgi see now23:49
theverbgyou can always add groups later23:49
azizLIGHThes gone23:49
theverbgoops. :-)23:49
azizLIGHTk1l_: what about getting even newer kernels23:49
k1l_azizLIGHT: not from ubuntu. the 16,04 backports kernel is the latest you can get23:50
azizLIGHTi see23:50
k1l_azizLIGHT: there are 3rd party repos but they are not official ubuntu kernels and might be missing needed features23:51
dbristowStill no 16.04.2 release?23:52
kzetAlright! I'm stupid.. I changed my username to a new name.. that's why "groups <user>" didn't work. So I checked out the gorups I'm in, and there were many. How exactly do I add multiple gorups to one user in a line like this: "groupmod -n <newgroup> <oldgroup>"?23:53
k1l_dbristow: it might be 16.february i heard. but you can install the 16.04(.1) isos and update23:53
kzetdo I just seperate the group names with a "," or?23:54
