[00:35] Bashing-om: thanks [00:35] tatertots: that be egrep "Feb (|11)" /var/log/syslog . bad paste on my part . [00:37] Bashing-om: when i use that on my auth.log it prints the entire month of febuary...so odd [00:40] Bashing-om: the auth logs has double white space after the month this worked grep Feb"[[:space:]]""[[:space:]]"6 [00:41] please have a look at this Jupyter question http://askubuntu.com/questions/882757/theres-no-choice-to-create-a-python2-7-notebook-in-jupyter [00:42] can anyone help me with ubuntu touch? nobody is responding in that channel [00:43] tatertots: ouch same .. not expected ! [00:46] signori buonasera [00:46] Bashing-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 exploded [00:46] ho un fastidiosissimo problema da porvi [00:47] gabriele: this is the english channel. for italian type "/join #ubuntu-it" [00:47] k1l, sorry [00:48] k1l, i have a question [00:49] k1l, 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 password [00:49] (because i don't see anything), only a desktop image [00:49] tatertots: Playing with it here .. and grep Feb"[[:space:]]"11 /var/log/syslog.1 - performs as expected with mine but a single space .. hummmm .. [00:50] gabriele: you can login blindly. or you move the mouse to the other monitor and the password field will change to that [00:51] k1l, there isn't any other solutions?^ [00:52] i prefer to see the login screen on my monitor external [00:52] gabriele: when 2 monitors are attached the password field is on the one where the mouse is. [00:54] k1l, 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 primary [01:00] tatertots: Double quotes ! - sysop@x1604:~$ grep Feb""[[:space:]]"12"[[:space:]]12:22"" /var/log/syslog.1 - [01:05] k1l, fortunately i'm more stubborn than ubuntu [01:05] i found the solution [01:05] gabriele: what was it? [01:06] in /etc/lightDM/setting of ubuntu and set system monitor from 0 to 1 [01:06] ok [01:15] cool === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [01:30] hmm [01:30] I was running update and then it ask me if I want to keep default rcs config or what [01:30] I pressed d for details [01:30] then ctrl c to get out of text tile [01:30] file [01:30] now nothing much happens :D [01:32] any idea how to tell upgrade to go on? === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [01:32] I was upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 [01:38] hmm [01:38] and I cant run sudo apt-get install -f [01:38] saying unable to lock, some other process is using it [01:39] hehehe: the cli upgrade runs in a screen. see screen -ls [01:39] is another package manager open and running hehehe [01:39] I dont even have screen installed [01:40] there is a process called xenial that runs [01:40] somewhere in background [01:41] hehehe, I mean are you installing/removing something with apt, that is not finished [01:41] upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04 [01:41] hehehe, and you tried doing that in the midst? [01:42] tried what! [01:42] apt-get install -f [01:43] as I said some promt came out [01:43] hehehe: did you cancel the do-release-upgrade? [01:43] and said d for details [01:43] I think so [01:43] cause after d came text in the config file that it was asking about [01:43] and I could not exit from it [01:44] so I ctrl c that nonsense [01:44] q is the exit from less [01:44] hehehe, unsless you are already root You need to sudo apt .... [01:44] o well [01:44] now I know its q [01:45] k1l: well imo its nothing bad it was simply installing new packages [01:45] but how do I nudge it to continue now? [01:46] hehehe: "ps ax | nc termbin.com 9999" and show the url please [01:47] Anyone experience slowness in the Dash coming up? [01:48] http://termbin.com/9qdb [01:49] looks like its still running [01:50] k1l: hmm and how I can re attach to that screen? [01:50] as it may have more promts [01:51] i can see usr/bin/dpkg --force-overwrite --status-fd 71 so it does run some stuff [01:54] hehehe: what do you see in the terminal now, where the upgrade ran? [01:55] nothing [01:55] usual stufg [01:55] stuff [01:55] in fact I closed it [01:56] hehehe: and screen -ls didnt show the process? [01:56] as I said I did not install screen what so ever [01:56] I can install it but hmm [01:57] I run upgrade in terminal direct [01:58] its all that details promt :) I pressed enter nothing, so no way to get out I terminate it thinking that it will get me out of that text file [01:58] hehehe: run sudo do-release-upgrade again [01:58] hehehe, sudo do-release-upgrade | pastebinit [02:00] :) [02:00] its cool [02:00] I am on 16.04 now [02:01] so that rcs was last promt [02:01] bizzare yet worked [02:02] going to restart and see whats up [02:02] :) [02:02] hey 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? [02:03] firewall rules? === longerstaff13 is now known as longerstaff [02:04] arooni: you key isn't accepted or your not getting a connection to that point? [02:04] k1l: hmm weird it says it cant find newer version, lbs command shows 16.04 [02:04] yet dpkg still locked... [02:05] I was thinking its wise to fix broken packages before reboot [02:05] if any [02:05] B103PH3R3: i think key isnt getting accepted; i'm seeing debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply [02:06] arooni: what does your SSH log show anything? [02:06] arooni: Are you allowing all ips to connect to ssh and if you ssh bound to all ips or just one ip? [02:07] what server your running opensshd? [02:07] cfhowlett: it simply says its newest already [02:07] where is the ssh log? === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [02:07] located in /var/log/auth.log [02:07] hehehe, then you are fully upgraded. congrats [02:08] i'm jusg using whatever you get when you click ssh server enabled in system preferences => sharing [02:08] follow the file and then try and connect see if you get any extra info and such [02:08] ok so its probably openssh-server then [02:08] vesion 16.04? [02:08] yes [02:08] i'm ocnnecting from ubuntu => mac [02:09] cfhowlett: well then why dpkg is still locked? [02:09] so the ssh server is on the mac your trying to connect to or your trying to connect to ubuntu from mac>? [02:09] B103PH3R3: right; ubuntu is the client; ssh server is on the mac [02:09] hehehe, read the aptlock factoid: /msg ubottu aptlock [02:09] oh ok [02:09] so you need to check the logs on the mac [02:09] hehehe, my advise: reboot in recovery mode and finish upgrade [02:09] and make sure your ssh server on the mac isn't allowing just local ips [02:10] not 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 connect [02:10] gothca [02:10] the mac have a public and local ip or are you using a router to port forward to the mac from outside? [02:11] cfhowlett: how it works, its setting stuff up [02:11] hehehe, it's all in the wrist ... [02:11] B103PH3R3: giving it a public ip from the router [02:12] arooni: so the mac machine has a public ip with no firewall enabled? [02:12] you may be want to try ssh into the ubuntu box from the outside and see i fthat works [02:12] then you know its a mac problem not a port forwarding firewall problems [02:13] theres a firewall; [02:13] may be a cause also but... [02:14] i think i was trying to connect on the wrong port [02:14] as i made my publicly accessible ssh port something other than 22 for security reaosns [02:14] the client that your using to connect with is the same client your using from the outside work [02:14] so make sure you specify the port when your connecting if you using ubuntu console use -P at the end [02:15] yeah now with the correct port; its connecting no problem [02:16] thanks for walking me through it B103PH3R3 :) [02:16] no problem.... so your making it past the router? [02:16] or not making past the router? [02:16] always glad to help a fellow penguin army member [02:16] :D [02:17] i'm connected on ssh over the public ip address (through router ) [02:17] arooni: also do u run open source soft on router? [02:17] oh so its working? [02:17] yup! [02:17] nice [02:17] it can help against certain attacks [02:17] hehehe: yeah padavan firmware ; i would be running ddwrt if my damn $20 router supported it lol [02:17] someday ill get a better one [02:17] ddwrt is da one [02:18] you should also try and use mac authentication for extra protection against network intrusion [02:18] it can be spoofed [02:18] if y ou using wifi [02:18] what is mac authentication [02:18] extra security for wifi clients [02:18] yes it can be spoofed but they have to find the mac [02:19] but you still need a security passphrase or key however you want to us [02:19] http://lifehacker.com/5873407/how-to-crack-a-wi-fi-networks-wpa-password-with-reaver [02:19] Ubuntu Software Center seems to use Ubuntu One login for some reason for some software installs [02:19] just also enable mac auth the problem is that you have to add every wifi devices to the list [02:19] heya every1, I came up with another trouble [02:19] Problem: You can't seem to login through Ubuntu Software Center [02:19] its just a speed bump [02:19] So as a result, many software are not possible to install [02:19] apt-key add RPM-GPG-GROUP-KEY-ilg [02:19] N: Omitiendo el fichero «50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old» del directorio «/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/», ya que tiene una extensión de nombre de fichero no válida [02:20] can anyone tell me why I can't add that key?¿ [02:20] it can help if u translate in english [02:20] it seems you have an unattended upgrade that failed or somewthing... I had that problem is the past before with unattended upgrades.ucf old [02:20] turista, in your terminal export LC_All=C so we can see english [02:21] turista, then sudo apt update | pastebinit [02:21] turista, are you installing unsupported intel graphics drivers ?? answer in the comments http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/11/intel-graphics-installer-support-for-ubuntu-16-10 [02:22] wget --no-check-certificate https://download.01.org/gfx/RPM-GPG-GROUP-KEY-ilg && sudo apt-key add RPM-GPG-GROUP-KEY-ilg [02:23] yes and I do not have pastebinit installed [02:23] turista, then sudo apt update | nc termbin.com 9999 [02:23] Hola.-. [02:24] is there a channel dedicated to ubuntu security? [02:24] carmona: heya [02:24] "use netcat." [02:24] tdo bien :D [02:24] okay, I tried installing VLC. Ubuntu Software Center: Not possible to do so afaik [02:24] Terminal, ran sudo snap install vlc [02:24] !es | carmona [02:24] carmona: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba " /join #ubuntu-es " (sin comillas) y presione intro. [02:24] ahh ya muchas gracias vale (Y) [02:24] It did something, said "vlc successfully installed", but there is still no VLC installed [02:25] Jonii: what version you using [02:25] ubuntu [02:25] 16.10 [02:25] Jonii, dpkg -l |grep vlc [02:26] Empty [02:26] But running sudo snap install vlc, it said "vlc daily from 'videolan' installed" [02:27] sudo apt-get install vlc [02:27] I guess? [02:29] yay, it worked. Though I'm still not sure, is the "snap" functionality completely dead? [02:29] :) [02:29] For 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" [02:30] it tell me that apt does nt have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts [02:30] Jonii: no. "sudo snap list" does it list something? [02:30] with that stuff | pastebinit [02:30] turista: does it print a url after a while? [02:30] k1l: vlc [02:30] and core [02:30] it just stuck in blank [02:30] Jonii: so it installed the vlc [02:31] So it says at least [02:31] Jonii: press the windows button and then type vlc [02:31] It didn't work before I used apt install vlc [02:31] Now that I did, it obviously works [02:31] also I was readying the stuff from "omgubuntu" and redirect to the website from I got that signature file [02:32] I just do not understand why it drops me these errors === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [02:32] turista: ok, since that automated version doesnt work somehow please run "sudo apt update" and show the output on paste.ubuntu.com and link it here [02:37] it's taking its time [02:39] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23986210/ [02:39] tell me if it will be okay [02:39] there is a reason why we don't support that 3rd party intel driver [02:40] turista: first: you can remove /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old file [02:41] wich's the command for it [02:41] rm -d or something >_< [02:41] turista: sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old file [02:41] turista, there it is. you are using lucid in your sources and lucid is WAY dead [02:41] all 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 problem [02:41] turista: then please run "grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" and copy all the output to the pastebin again and link it here [02:42] sounds like and messed update of cups and/or hplip [02:42] the hp manager can print a test page though [02:43] the command to delete it is not working [02:43] turista: what is not working? details matter a lot [02:43] eelstrebor: the ip didn't change on the printer? [02:43] eelstrebor: did you verify the port that the print is printing to [02:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/23986232/ [02:45] I did type the rm plus the dir but it's not working anyway [02:46] turista: i gve you the exact command. and its not a dir, its a file. [02:46] can you repeat it but with the quotes?¿ [02:46] turista: command should be "rm -v /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old" should give you an output [02:46] turista: and your system is a real mess. you have 12.04 repos enabled, a lot of 3rd party repos and the proposed repos [02:46] turista: you may have to sudo also [02:47] any reason why 16.10 is running such an ancient version of mpv? current version in the repos is 0.18 which is unsupported/EOL [02:47] http://pastebin.com/N1Manvip differenced in unattended upgrade files [02:47] turista: sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old [02:47] differences [02:47] which one to keep? [02:47] old or new? [02:47] truexfan81: what is mpv? [02:48] root@turista-desktop:~# rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old [02:48] rm: no se puede borrar '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old': No existe el archivo o el directorio [02:48] it says that it can't be deleted [02:48] truexfan81, gnome-mpv is at .7-1 for xenial. what ubuntu version have you? [02:48] cuz it does not exist [02:48] eelstrebor: you should be able to view the queue on the client machines if not you may have a access problem or something else [02:48] turista, use sudo [02:48] but I'm in root [02:48] hehehe: its is a fork of mplayer that is still being actively developed [02:48] turista, you should NOT be in root! [02:48] it shows the same output [02:49] turista:the file might be open [02:49] but I like root cuz, I don't have to type sudo for everything :-| [02:49] turista: "ls -al /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old" [02:49] then I just have to close it but [02:49] wich proccess would be using it now [02:49] have you rebooted after the update attempy [02:49] attempt* [02:50] any dkpg or apt snap processes running [02:50] turista, running as root is not recommended for any number of reasons [02:50] !root [02:50] Do 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/RootSudo [02:50] it says that it does not exist [02:51] so you may have deleted it already then [02:51] truexfan81, lsb_release -d says what? [02:51] turista: you can barely handle rm commands but want to be root. thats not really a good combination to be honest. [02:52] I am pushing to the limit [02:52] * turista remembering that song now [02:52] ShoutCast Stream http://149.255.33.86:9000 [02:52] my english sux, hope u don't get notice it [02:52] cfhowlett: i'm not actually running ubuntu, i prefer distros that stay more up to date, i was just curious why the latest version is giving EOL versions of programs [02:53] truexfan81, what VERSION of ubuntu [02:53] remove the lucid repos from sources.list and disable proposed repos [02:53] cfhowlett: any idea about http://pastebin.com/N1Manvip ? which version to keep local or maintainers? [02:53] cfhowlett: 16.10 === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [02:53] truexfan81: ubuntu like debian , have a stable release system. [02:53] hehehe, sorry that's way over my head. [02:54] np [02:54] k1l: well common sense says at some point stable has to give way to EOL [02:54] truexfan81: 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 bump [02:55] truexfan81: no. then the common sense doesnt know about stable release setups [02:55] but how do I remove lucid, show me the money [02:55] truexfan81, I'm on 16.04 and my apt install -s mpv shows: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23986262/ [02:56] turista: open a texteditor and edit it. [02:56] should I just unmark it or something?¿ [02:56] cfhowlett: 16.04 is LTS its will always be a bit behind the other short term releases [02:57] truexfan81, indeed. and unless one has a specific *NEED* for the latest shiny stuff, LTS works fine [02:57] * truexfan81 always compiles ffmpeg, mpv from source [02:58] I did remove lucid now [02:58] truexfan81: i doubt the regular user needs to do that. but you are free to compile as much as you like :) [03:01] well, i was just asking around while waiting for a movie to rebuffer, its done buffering now so i'll /part bye [03:02] so... [03:02] now I forgot why I came here in first place :-P [03:03] one more reason to avoid root altogether as ubuntu intended ... but YMMV [03:04] it shouldn't be so painful [03:04] i have a message from wm4 the leader of the mpv project about the versions in the ubuntu/debian repos [03:04] truexfan81: tell them I know of several critical security issues, but I won't say which in order not to put any debian users at risk [03:04] truexfan81, this isn't the place for that [03:05] truexfan81: tell him to file bugs and provide patches [03:05] I feel unsafe now, though [03:05] truexfan81: everything else is just pure bullshit. [03:05] gosh it worked now [03:06] now it did accept the key, thx every1 [03:06] now I forgot the next step, gonna check it [03:06] and truexfan81 this channel is not the proper channel for your amusement while beeing bored. [03:07] cfhowlett: ok update finished [03:07] some icons missing rest seems to work [03:07] also Errors were encountered while processing: cgmanager systemd-shim [03:07] what does that mean? [03:08] hehehe, as I mentioned, your issue exceeds my very modest range of knowledge. ask the channel in general - someone wiser than me will probably know [03:09] libpackagekit-glib2-18 <- why I can not install that package? [03:09] turista: sudo apt install libpackagekit-glib2-18 # and see why [03:10] it says obsolete or does not exist [03:10] turista: its a 16.10 pacakge, not a 16.04 apcakge [03:10] but I need it to run the stuff [03:10] the intel updater stuff [03:10] Paket libpackagekit-glib2-16 is the 16.04 package [03:13] turista, 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-glib2-18 [03:13] it says its already installed [03:13] should I add that to the source list?¿ [03:13] but I'm using the 32 bit version [03:14] i think you are in a dependencie problem with proposed repos. [03:14] OerHeks: it only was in proposed. and turista had proposed activated. which is bad. since proposed is for the automated testings and not for users [03:14] I dunno what I'm doing [03:15] turista, do a fresh install, and you are back in 30 minutes [03:15] I just want to play wz2100 since several weeks ago; or tux racing but the drivers does not allow me it [03:15] then dance [03:15] it ask me to update cuz the app crashes [03:17] http://www.techrepublic.com/article/linux-pioneer-munich-poised-to-ditch-open-source-and-return-to-windows/ [03:17] whoops [03:17] sorry wrong channel [03:22] now I manage to install it, yaho === ksx4system_ is now known as ksx4system [03:23] I'll see the install, may come back later; have a good time :-P~ [03:34] Breaking News: Bill Gates has agreed to pay for Trump's wall [03:34] On the condition he gets to install windows.

[03:53] Very hight pitch [03:53] Im using astro a50s [03:53] Generation 3 [03:53] Wirelessly [03:54] like very high pitch, 5k hertz? 10k hertz? 20k hertz ? [03:54] 10k [03:54] adn the noise is always the same or it changes ? [03:54] Around that area [03:55] how is th headphone connected to the computer ? [03:55] Through USB [03:56] but it is not a white noise type noise ? like interference from other compunents ? [03:56] and when u mute the headphones with the icon in taskbar, noise disappears ? [03:57] but when it is usb connected ... then i dont know hy there is noise [03:58] muting is a good test indeed [03:58] then load a page, see if the crackle intensifies === sirv_ is now known as sirv_high [04:00] hertz one important question- are u high when u hear the noises ?

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:02] i suspect problem is with the headphones ..... when u mute speakers in OS, noise is there ? when u boot the computer, during booting, noise is there ? [04:02] Anything that is creating sound it follows it with a high pitch noise /crackle [04:03] so the noise is not always present ? when u do nothing, nothing playes, noise is there ? [04:03] I have a deb file. how would I be able install it? [04:04] harushimo: as root dpkg -i .dev [04:04] is dpkg installed by default in the ubuntu system?

[05:01] Hey, my repositories can't be updated. Constantly waiting to connect to.server [05:01] graff, what ubuntu version? [05:01] Are there lots of.repos.down or somwthing? Or maybe I messed this install up [05:02] graff, - what - ubuntu - version - are - you - using? [05:02] Cfhiwlett, 16.04 lts, the iso is about 3 months old [05:02] graff, then your mirror might be down for maintenance. try an alternate [05:03] But I chose to install over my old installation with no formatting. Maybe it got messed up [05:03] Kk [05:03] graff: added ppa's of any kind? [05:03] what you describe has exactly zero to do with downloading software [05:04] Nope, no changes to sources.list. no outside .debs [05:06] Maybe the mirror is just moving really slow. Us.archive.ubuntu.com, is there another that might work ok? [05:06] graff: the #ubuntu-mirrors channel might know more of repos that are down atm? [05:06] graff, of course. go into software settings, software sources, choose the best source [05:06] ( that seems like a round robin server that hands out a decent connection gemeralli) [05:06] Ok. Thanks [05:09] There we go. Now it's moving. [05:09] Thanks guys [05:30] hey 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] did y ou recently upgrade? [05:30] what am i looking at for usb game controller support in ubuntu? [05:31] mpalumbo, I did not, I've been consciously avoiding it because I know the latest nvidia drivers brick my system [05:31] Phanes-: what kind of game cobtroller? [05:31] cyberspectre: wich ubuntu version and latest driver version brick your system? [05:32] lotuspsychje, whatever walmart will have when i go down in a few minutes [05:32] im gonna be looking at playing some steam and emulators [05:32] lotuspsychje, I'm on 16.04 Gnome. Last time I tried to upgrade with nvidia proprietary drivers, it made gnome totally useless [05:33] probably logitech [05:33] Phanes-: depends on brands of the controller, but think 16.04 has now controller support out of the box for some brands [05:33] support's fine, how do i configure and map [05:33] cyberspectre: wich driver are you on now? [05:33] Regardless, I haven't upgraded packages since the fresh install of 16.04 [05:33] besides piece by piece, like vivaldi [05:34] lotuspsychje, nvidia 367.57 [05:34] cyberspectre: are you on 16.04.2 yet? [05:35] cyberspectre: what kind of graphics card? [05:35] cyberspectre: quite silly to avoid updating [05:35] lotuspsychje, looks like I'm on 16.04.1. Ben64 graphics card is a GTX670 [05:36] cyberspectre: yep start to upgrade first, then we can look from there [05:37] over 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 fixed [05:37] the drivers aren't broken [05:38] If I recall, it was an incompatibility between the drivers and the latest kernel [05:38] Anyway, in for a penny... I'll upgrade now [05:38] cyberspectre: your idea is the reverse of security updates, if it aint broken, you should update anyway [05:38] lotuspsychje, what about a ps4 controller [05:39] Phanes-: best way is to test the device on your system mate [05:41] Hello. 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? [05:51] Hey everybody [05:51] apologies 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] tubal: does ' sudo fdisk -lu ' see the drive when plugged in ? [05:52] specifically 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 minion [05:52] and don't want to have that image use the same hostkeys every time it's used [05:52] excuse me. [05:53] lotuspsychje, Ben64 so I upgraded, still no change with pulse. Actually, I just tried running alsamixer and it tells me "no such directory" [05:53] plsear, anybody help me about dconf, gsetting [05:53] Bashing-om: No. Only the internal HD. [05:53] gnomethrower: you want a new hostkey on each reboot? [05:54] cyberspectre: what exactly are you typing [05:54] mpalumbo: No, only on first boot [05:54] mpalumbo: once ready, this machine will be shut down and then cloned when we need a new U16.04 box [05:54] gnomethrower: are you using a clone of a previous VM? [05:54] mpalumbo: No, I'm building an image right now [05:55] mpalumbo: 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 boots [05:55] Ben64, alsamixer [05:55] tubal: Not good ! .. check cable and see also for bent pins . Until fdisk can see that drive - not much hope . [05:56] gnomethrower: 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/vm [05:56] mpalumbo: precisely :) [05:56] mpalumbo: 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/ ;) [05:57] Bashing-om: The cable works well enough to power the disk on, it's A/C plus USB. [05:57] cyberspectre: doesn't sound like a standard ubuntu install [05:57] gnomethrower: off the top i can't think of a effective way of doing it. let me check something [05:57] mpalumbo: No problem. Thanks [05:59] Ben64, alsamixer isn't included in a standard ubuntu install? [06:01] gnomethrower: you can try to remove the keys of the install you are creating the image out of [06:01] mpalumbo: yep, trying that right now [06:01] supposedly ubuntu regens on boot [06:02] Nope :( [06:02] well I know ubuntu is basically debian, i know deb does not, at least deb7 does not. [06:02] cyberspectre: the error message you say you got wouldn't happen on ubuntu [06:02] DigitalOcean suggests putting this in /etc/rc.local [06:02] test -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key || dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server [06:02] ( @ mpalumbo ) [06:02] gnomethrower: http://technodrone.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-ssh-key-problem-with-cloned-linux.html [06:03] gnomethrower: that is roughly like one of the suggestions in this blog post. I think that might boot you in the right direction [06:03] mpalumbo: perfect, I will have a look [06:03] thank you for your help :) [06:03] gnomethrower: no worries, sorry I could not be more help [06:04] mpalumbo: No problem, it has me scratching my head too! [06:04] I' [06:04] All the "solutions" feel very slightly janky ;) [06:05] gnomethrower: 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 run [06:10] Bashing-om: Good call. The mini-USB on the HD end was not fully inserted. [06:13] tubal: :) - fdisk no see ,, then it down to the hardware level . [06:13] Bashing-om: A good lesson. I'll remember. Thanks. [06:23] how to check which ubuntu version the current system is? [06:24] lsb_release -rd [06:24] Guest95563, [06:25] tubal: i am on linuxmint. it just shows linuxmint version. no ubuntu information [06:25] Guest95563: nint isn't ubuntu [06:26] Guest95563: Maybe 'cat /etc/lsb-release' [06:26] same [06:26] Guest95563, Perhaps, uname -a [06:28] learnit: #37-Ubuntu SMP [06:28] what is it? [06:35] Hi all. It appears my /boot drive is full (partition on an SSD), I can't even apt-get autoremove kernel name to work, what are my options to remove old kernels? [06:36] bjrohan, get out your ubuntu usb, boot up, chroot to your hdd system and sudo apt remove old kernels [06:36] less painful than it sounds. [06:36] Guest95563, try this: inxi -S [06:37] cfhowlett: I actually do carry a recent live USB for incidents like this :-). [06:37] bjrohan, I literally have one on a string around my neck as we type. "be prepared" say the Boy Scouts [06:37] cfhowlett: What exactly do you mean by chroot to the hdd system? [06:38] cfhowlett: Eagle Scout here :-) [06:38] bjrohan, open your terminal and read the output man chroot [06:38] ok [06:40] learnit: no ubuntu info. just desktop cinnema 2.8.8 [06:40] Hey guys, I've been making XML RESTFUL calls to retrieve a .PDF shipping label from Canada Post and it responds in a "binary representation of the PDF file". How would I convert this to a usable .PDF? This is what the response looks like: RANDOM GIBBERISH [06:41] learnit: no ubuntu info. just desktop cinnamon 2.8.8 [06:44] Guest95563, try to open the file: /etc/os-release [06:44] What can I do to restore the default values of /etc/os-release? I installed Pantheon desktop environment accidentally and my machine now thinks it's elementary OS [06:45] learnit: got it. thanks. [06:45] Agent, what OS are you running [06:45] Ubuntu 16.04.1 [06:46] Guest95563, You're welcome. [06:46] Agent, apt install --reinstall -s ubuntu-desktop | pastebinit will simulate, not execute, a desktop install. [06:48] Won't installing ubuntu-desktop install Unity? I use a different desktop environment [06:48] Agent, what desktop? [06:49] budgie [06:49] hello every1 [06:49] I came up with more issues [06:49] Agent, might need to reinstall that so your system sees the correct DE [06:49] ok thanks [06:50] wich version of skype should I use?¿ cuz I'm using ubuntu 16.x and it's only available for 10.x and 12.x [06:50] turista, false [06:50] but I went into to the website [06:51] turista, use the skype in partner repos [06:51] sudo apt-get install skype ?¿ [06:51] turista, yep [06:51] !info skype [06:51] gosh [06:51] Package skype does not exist in yakkety [06:52] turista, enable your partner repos [06:52] I used to use trillian and those programs but dunno wich of them are available in linux [06:52] !info skype xenial [06:52] Package skype does not exist in xenial [06:52] how can I enable these stuff?¿ [06:52] turista, system > software > settings > sources [06:54] I really dislike this spanish translation :-P anyway the sources is marked with a minus [06:54] cfhowlett: What gives ^^ but "sysop@x1604:~$ apt list skype >> skype/xenial 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 amd64 " ? [06:55] Bashing-om, wait 1 [06:55] !info skype partner [06:55] skype (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service. In component main, is extra. Version 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (partner), package size 15 kB, installed size 61 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) [06:55] 15kB? wut [06:55] oh, it's in main now!? [06:55] is there a package for DBD::mysql ? [06:55] really dont want to use the cpan [06:55] turista, - usually means "no" [06:56] but what's the problem to use it from the website; well its outdated (though); but would work?¿ [06:57] is there a way to loop over the output from unrar, file by file, line by line, without actually extracting the file anywhere [06:58] turista, it's in the repos so ask yourself WHY you would to use a strange, non-repo source? [06:58] cfhowlett: Well something with the bot ?? As " apt shpw skype >> APT-Sources: http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu xenial/partner amd64 Packages [06:58] that's a totally good question [06:58] Bashing-om, something smells wrong here - hopefully just a typo? [06:59] I did mark with a plus the sources now [06:59] turista, close sources and approve refreshing [07:00] cfhowlett: my input was ' apt show skype' in terminal :) [07:00] its refreshing now; but it goes slowly [07:00] Bashing-om, I'd trust terminal output before I'd trust the bot - no offense [07:01] btw how can I use permanent the glass fashioned cursor?¿ [07:02] Bashing-om, and apt install -s shows no such package. [07:02] its available in red but, it would be so girly; so I'll use the first glass one [07:04] gosh it will install skype now, awesome [07:04] cfhowlett: 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] I'd rather to use line but you know, I've lots of ppl in that account [07:04] Bashing-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 app [07:06] Will Audacity record soundcard output AND mic input at the same time? Seems possible on Win10 according to my Googling, but I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. [07:06] (alsa for Audacity and Pulse managing everything) [07:06] gbellinoz, pretty sure yes, if not ardour would [07:06] cfhowlett: MS pulls the plug on us .. will take a period of adjustment . [07:07] I think 3 (4?) years without a skype update counts as indicative of little interest [07:07] thanks Bashing-om. No need for JACK? Yay! I wasn't looking forward to making everything else break just so I could record conference calls. [07:08] gbellinoz: cookies to cfhowlett .. I just looking over the shoulders . [07:08] * cfhowlett blushes [07:09] ardour - subscription. Yuck. I pay for software, but want to experiment first. [07:09] May be configure && make'ing this one. [07:09] eh? sub is voluntary [07:09] http://manual.ardour.org/signal-routing/Patchbay/ gbellinoz [07:09] awesome, I've 57M ppl added p.q thx by ur support [07:09] cfhowlett, I have booted into my liveUSB, I have mounted my root and boot partition within the root, then chroot to /mnt/root. When running apt-get autoremove linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic [07:10] Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) [07:10] ooooo, patchbay looks cool. [07:10] CuChulaind, sounds legit --- suggested practice is to retain the 2 newest kernels [07:10] I thought with PA and audacity I was set for life! [07:10] cfhowlett, It won't run unfortunately [07:11] put 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 kernels [07:11] bye-bye by now [07:11] cfhowlett, https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/23987147/ [07:12] gbellinoz, also worth reading http://manual.ardour.org/setting-up-your-system/using_more_than_one_audio_device/ [07:12] cfhowlett: Ah! JACK! I knew it would come up. [07:13] Hi 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 kernels [07:13] Hmm... I don't want to mix multiple soundcards, just the output and mic input of one. [07:13] CuChulaind, dpkg -l | grep linux-image* to see if your removal worked. those errors seem to be advisory only [07:13] CuChulaind: what's the output of: df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 [07:13] CuChulaind, cfhowlett, about the kernel removal, it won't work properly if you don't have /dev/pts bind-mounted to the chroot [07:14] Well, that's a worry: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudioPreparation [07:14] alkisg, he reported a 100% /boot. I advised him to boot a USB and chroot to remove kernels [07:14] 500 [07:14] cfhowlett: why not the real session, instead of a usb boot? [07:14] I 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] CuChulaind, cfhowlett, doesn't it boot normally anymore? [07:14] alkisg, full /boot = no room for normal operations [07:15] gbellinoz, thanks for the update! I'll advise the Ubuntustudio team [07:15] cfhowlett, CuChulaind, if the system can boot normally, it's best to boot there, and try to clean /boot from there [07:15] Not from a usb boot [07:15] cfhowlett: It's back. Temporary 500. [07:15] gbellinoz, noted [07:16] cfhowlett, Running the dpkg showed the kernel still available, running df -h | nc termbin.com 9999 returns: [07:16] f: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory [07:16] nc: getaddrinfo: Temporary failure in name resolution [07:16] CuChulaind: run that on another terminal, not within the chroot command [07:16] CuChulaind: 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 it [07:16] gbellinoz, do you have ubuntustudio booted? [07:17] alkisg, yes boot is full [07:17] cfhowlett: Nope, plain 16.04. [07:17] CuChulaind: can you boot normally? [07:17] alkisg, yes, here is the output you asked for http://termbin.com/0i8r [07:17] Would like to try a bootable so JACK doesn't, well, jack my audio setup permanently. [07:17] alkisg, will boot normally and get back [07:18] CuChulaind: actually, wait [07:18] gbellinoz, 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 #linuxaudio [07:18] alkisg, ok [07:18] CuChulaind: one quick method to solve that issue, is to copy /boot to your / [07:18] CuChulaind: and completely "ignore" the /boot partition from fstab [07:18] CuChulaind: is that solution ok for you? [07:19] CuChulaind: another solution is to grow your /boot partition. It's very small. [07:19] cfhowlett: thanks. 2017, thought this would be better than last time I looked :) [07:19] alkisg, 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 2 [07:19] gbellinoz, we're on all valve time ... [07:20] CuChulaind: what's the output of: sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [07:20] alkisg, do you mean to mount the boot partition to / of my live usb, not copy it === Varazir is now known as Zedde [07:20] CuChulaind: you can just rm the kernels to free up space, then autoremove will work. the scripts will complain a bit, but it'll be fine === Zedde is now known as Varazir [07:20] ubuntustudio live image - pretty fast and easy test. It's probably my fault for using the built-in sound card. [07:21] CuChulaind: 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] alkisg, http://termbin.com/dhgh [07:22] alkisg, I'm not seeing any room to speak of on the sda [07:22] CuChulaind: ok, decide what you want to do. Grow /boot? Copy /boot to root partition? Only delete old kernel? [07:22] CuChulaind: select 1, 2 or 3 :) [07:22] hateball, If I understand you are saying simply remove, say one of the many kernels with rm, and the package manager will figure it all out [07:23] alkisg, alkisg why copy boot to / vs mounting it? [07:24] CuChulaind: your existing 0.5 GB will cause issues again in the future if you ever forget to only keep 2 kernels [07:24] alkisg, I'm not against increasing the size of root, where are we going to take it from? [07:24] CuChulaind: Yes [07:24] increase size of boot rather [07:25] alkisg, for now let me simply remove an old kernel file [07:25] CuChulaind: your next partition there is linux-swap, so you would take it from there [07:25] CuChulaind: it's 16 GB, too big anyway [07:25] alkisg, [07:25] 3 600MB 16.6GB 16.0GB linux-swap(v1) [07:25] CuChulaind: you can resize both of them with gparted, graphically [07:25] alkisg, gotcha, well, let's then take a few gig from the swap [07:25] Just take care to unmount everything first [07:26] So, exit from chroot, [07:26] unmount everything including swap, [07:26] run gparted, and resize swap to e.g. 14 gb, and grow /boot to 2.5 GB [07:27] Then the package manager will work normally from the real session, no need to do anything else from the live session [07:27] alkisg, I exited chroot, then unmount the /boot inside root and also the /root inside /mnt [07:27] CuChulaind: also run `sudo swapoff -a` [07:27] Then run sudo gparted /dev/sda [07:27] alkisg, to be safe shall I simply reboot into my liveusb? [07:27] CuChulaind: nah, gparted will tell you if something is still mounted [07:28] alkisg, CuChulaind, I am embarrassed to admit, this option didn't occur to me. [07:28] alkisg, I have gparted running [07:29] alkisg, those were still mounted in /media, they are not umounted [07:29] CuChulaind: so you had them mounted 2 times, which is kinda bad [07:29] CuChulaind: unmount them from there as well [07:30] Yeah . . [07:30] ... kinda ... [07:30] :-( [07:30] gparted shows them as unmounted now [07:30] Cool, proceed with shrinking swap [07:30] simply right click resize the swap [07:30] ok [07:30] Only touch the swap partition left side [07:30] Right [07:31] cfhowlett: 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 hand [07:32] Should 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] alkisg, ok, resized via pulling left side to right side (free space in front), now apply it? [07:32] CuChulaind: yup [07:32] CuChulaind: *after* applying, then grow /boot too [07:33] alkisg, done [07:33] CuChulaind: when all resized are applied, reboot to the normal session, and run `apt-get install -f` [07:33] *sudo [07:34] alkisg, http://termbin.com/11ue [07:34] CuChulaind: seems fine to me :) [07:35] alkisg, reboot? [07:35] Yup [07:35] see you in a bit [07:36] zeta, 32 gb seems extreme but ask #ubuntu-server [07:38] zeta: run `free` on a busy day to see how much swap you actually use [07:38] hi, 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] zeta: the swap=ram idea is for hibernation, i think, so if you're not using hibernation that way, ignore that idea [07:39] CrazyTux, 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] ok [07:39] thanks. [07:40] CrazyTux: yeah you need to pick a lane and stay in it [07:40] you doing too much [07:41] Is 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. [07:42] and you have asked that question repeatedly as well, so you already KNOW the answer. stop playing around [07:42] As far as I remember, I didn't ask this question. [07:43] with rare expeptions, use apps from the software center only. [07:43] ok. [07:43] check the current install tutorial for those 3 apps on the ubuntu support wiki [07:44] ok [07:44] wiki.ubuntu.com use the search box [07:45] ok. I'll do that. thanks a lot for this. [07:47] HEY [07:47] cfhowlett, alkisg, thanks, asking in #ubuntu-server [07:48] hi nashu. [07:54] my mouse selection does not work smoothly. what reason for it?

[07:57] it actually pad selection, not mouse [07:57] laptop pad selection [07:58] not sensitive [07:58] i just inserted a usb mouse, it works ok. [07:59] the pad selection sometimes only selects part of intended area. feel dragging, not sensitive enough [08:03] Guest95563: could be a driver issue, but could also be a hardware problem. hard to say.

Wow... I'm so lazy you should shun me [10:23] k1l: ok I am trying [10:27] k1l: how to upgrade ? using sudo apt-get upgrade ? [10:27] fiter: no. sudo do-release-upgrade [10:28] fiter: but since you are years too late in using 15.04 you need to make manual changes now. see the bots link: [10:28] !eolupgrade | fiter [10:28] fiter: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[10:32] k1l: it is written there that you should have sources.list file ? I am beginner so should I paste the links with deb in terminal ?

[10:59] I think not [11:00] sunrunner20__: this tool will bring you to the next ubuntu release. so if you dont want to change the ubuntu release dont run that command [11:00] i knew that much [11:01] new install [11:01] I'd like to be on the latest LTS [11:01] sunrunner20__: what is the output of "lsb_release -sd"? [11:02] 14.04.5 LTS [11:02] should be current as of today [11:02] just ran an apt get update apt get upgrade [11:02] 14.04 is the second latest LTS. dont run do-release-upgrade if you dont want to leave 14.04 [11:03] wbsite didn't present a newer LTS release [11:03] any decent way to debug apt authentication failures? [11:03] i am getting authentication failures on a vps but not for the same repository on local machine [11:03] sunrunner20__: yes, some updates like kernel upgrades need to run "sudo apt full-upgrade". this will keep you on 14.04 but makes sure all pacakges are isntalled like new kernels etc. [11:03] sunrunner20__: the 16.04 is the latest LTS [11:04] well i'm running it ithen [11:04] this is a 15min install [11:05] sunrunner20__: ? [11:05] 15min old [11:05] I have very little to lose and much to gain with security updates [11:06] so you want to reinstall or upgrade to 16.04? [11:06] ran the sudo do-uprade-install [11:07] sunrunner20__: details matter, its "sudo do-release-upgrade" to upgardae from 14.04 to 16.04 [11:08] sorry [11:08] don't have the exact command memorized yet [11:08] and didn't spot it scrolling up [11:09] how is this slower on my SSD than my raid10 over unoptimized '10gig' vmxnet3 [11:10] Hello. 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] cpu [11:11] vlt: i guess the 24Gb are the old email data with all the attachments etc. [11:11] vlt, no offence but that setup is a disaster waiting to happen === Gazyrlezon is now known as Nery [11:12] that said [11:12] ifyou're not trying to automate [11:12] you should just be able to copy the profile over [11:12] shift click thunderbird to bring up profiles menu [11:13] and set the 'old' profile as default [11:14] also [11:14] with IMAP [11:14] !enter | sunrunner20__ [11:14] sunrunner20__: Please try and keep as much of your info as possible on ONE line - easier to follow for everyone. [11:14] won't thudnderbird just resync the data once its pointed to the IMAP server? [11:15] k1l: The corresponding maildir on the imap server is only 6.6 GB in size o_O [11:15] 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 less [11:15] sunrunner20__: Which setup is a disaster? [11:16] having the mail stored on local machines [11:16] sunrunner20__: I don’t want that. [11:17] sunrunner20__: I want the users to open their (new) thunderbird on 16.04 and have access to their mail on the IMAP server. [11:18] i'm not sure how imap on linux works [11:18] but imap with exchange/outlook [11:18] the local file is 100% a cache of whats on the server [11:18] vlt: so basically, you want to copy the account info for thunderbird from 12.04 to 16.04? [11:18] ducasse: Yes. [11:19] afaik you can directly do that by copyign the folders then setting the default profile in thunderbird [11:19] vlt: afaict they seem to be stored in logins.json [11:20] ducasse: So I just put hte file logins.json from the old .thunderbird to an otherwise empty ~/.thunderbird? [11:23] and then tell thunderbird its there [11:23] vlt: 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] I think its shift + launch thunderbird [11:25] 'thunderbird --ProfileManager', it seems. [11:25] sunrunner20__: I don’t understand half of what you’re saying. What does shift mean in this context? How to “tell” thunderbird? [11:26] vlt: you could also just rsync the thunderbird dir and exclude the imap cache [11:26] ducasse: Good idea. [11:26] vlt, shift should bring up the profile manager [11:26] sunrunner20__: ? [11:27] sunrunner20__: ELI5? [11:28] when I change the rsyslog.conf, do I need to manually load it in in order to 'apply' it ? [11:29] ducasse: Is it ~/.thunderbird//ImapMail/? [11:30] nevermind me [11:30] vlt: seems right. [11:30] it doesn' twork anymore [11:30] holsing shift while clicking the icon [11:30] used to be the same as 'thunderbird --profilemanager' [11:32] my ubuntu screen on boot shows a blank purple screen for about 25 secs [11:33] Ilyas: from looking at the man page, you need to restart rsyslogd [11:33] ducasse was this for me? [11:34] deepesh3: no. [11:34] Ok [11:34] ducasse: check [11:34] tnx [11:35] deepesh3: does it work after that? [11:35] what's the proper way to restart a service under 16.04? [11:35] Ilyas: sudo systemctl restart [11:35] Ilyas: use systemctl [11:35] Ilyas: systemctl restart [11:35] k1l: after what ? [11:36] deepesh3: after that waiting time. [11:36] yrah [11:36] yeah* [11:36] deepesh3: im not sure if your issue is the waiting time or the only purple sceen or that it doesnt boot at all. [11:37] How does ubuntu normally boots? [11:37] deepesh3: you can run "systemd-analyze blame" to see if something is loading very long [11:38] ok let me see [11:40] the dev-sda4.device is taking 24 sec [11:42] deepesh3: "sudo parted -l |nc termbin .com 9999" and show the url please [11:42] hallo leute [11:44] nc: port number invalid: .com [11:44] this is the url [11:45] "sudo parted -l |nc termbin.com 9999" sorry there was a space inbetween [11:45] misplaced space >> sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999 [11:45] Good Morning!!!, from my point of view [11:46] http://termbin.com/ac0t [11:46] this is the url [11:46] is there a way for whatever silly reason to remotely get to a ubuntu desktop one that i am currently working on not a new instance or rather what is the best way to accomplish this....VNC,etc....

[12:10] yes there might be.. I can check.. [12:11] nothing particularly wierd in sources.list.. maybe it all got overwritten with the upgrade.. [12:12] shomon: its in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder [12:12] during the upgrade there were a lot of errors and uninstalled packages.. apt-get autoremove just removed a whole bunch of stuff.. it took all night to upgrade. [12:12] Hey folks [12:12] ok checking there [12:13] hi, anyone know about "fail acpi object"? [12:13] shomon: is the missing module for your ethernet the issue? or is the system broken at all and cant make networks connections at all?

[13:59] Hi, I am attempting to setup a simple ftp server on my box to automatically upload screenshots to using sharex. I dont really know what I'm doing though to be honest. Reading these tutorials, I have vsftp installed and running, and I've enabled chroot and disabled anonymous login.. but how do i log in? it never told me what the password for the ftp [13:59] user was [14:01] nx9010: windows driver variant for what? [14:02] z1haze_work: if you have a ssh server running you already have sftp server running too. you can login with the ssh credentials [14:02] which is what i typically do [14:03] what I dont believe this sharex program has an sftp option [14:03] k1l, of the diver neded for this usb wifi dongle? [14:03] driver* [14:04] Frustrating to have that issue really, one could hope that we'd be farther along now than to continuously chase compatibility issues... but just google it. [14:04] z1haze_work: agreed, it doesn't look like it has an sftp/scp uploader option. I'm not sure if vsftp does this by default, but you might just be able to login with your user credentials. [14:05] z1haze_work: actually... if I try to create an ftp config in sharex, it has an option all the way at the bottom of the settings for SFTP information [14:05] z1haze_work: and change the protocl to SFTP, of course. [14:05] ive never used this before so bear with me [14:05] nx9010: that was the bcm43xx card? === zokko is now known as Guest10839 [14:06] on the 'destination' settings?

[14:14] I have some problems with bluetooth, it can't detect any devices - Anybody have some ideas? I tried to google with no success...

[14:16] ah i will try that [14:18] ok cool, well i fixed that and when i click the test connection button i just get a dialog that says 'path' [14:18] sweet we're good [14:19] except it upload to my local dir haha [14:19] hi k1l: able to restart it now [14:19] but the added new ipv6 address seems not working [14:19] if my home is like /home/myuser how would I upload the files to /var/www/img.mydomain.com/public? [14:21] whats a good way to setup VNC on a server? I think I have a bot brute forcing the password and locking me out :P [14:23] z1haze_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/public [14:23] i like option 1, thank you [14:25] hi guys i have a plesk server how would i find out what are valid domains on it and what are junk. i was told bind is a good place to look [14:30] hey Pici thanks for the help I resolved the whole sftp issue and got the directory symlinked [14:31] one 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 errors [14:32] newtonsoft json reader exception stuff [14:34] z1haze_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. === zedde is now known as Varazir [14:35] i think i know whats going on [14:36] i have a local folder called /uploads that it uploads to from sharex to my home directory [14:36] then i symlink that to the public folder on my vhost.. but the link it generates is sites.com/uploads/file but it should be just site.com/file === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [14:36] Re: LUKS encrypted 4TB backup drive doesn't show up and is messed up - When booting my computer the BIOS recognizes the disk; my OS does not.

[14:59] Intrans: looks like it cant find a partition needed to boot from [14:59] https://github.com/lopaka/instructions/blob/master/ubuntu-16.04-install-asus-x205ta.md [15:00] i follow those instructions, worked before [15:00] Popzi: just a new line [15:00] but i needed to reinstall for another reason [15:00] k1l: righto thanks [15:00] so i did the same steps but when i got to this comamnd [15:00] update-initramfs -c -k $KERNELRELEASE [15:00] it messsed it up [15:00] i think [15:00] any wayi can repair it? [15:00] Intrans: use an older ubuntu/kernel in grub [15:00] k1l: 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' [15:01] is there any way I can repair my existing insatll [15:01] or do I have to reinstall [15:01] and what about restoring from a deja dup backup? [15:01] is that possible? [15:01] hallo - I just asked my wife to install konversation, and it's crashing because the lack of KCrash5, or something. [15:01] libkf5crash.so.5 actually [15:01] what should I install for that? [15:02] tempnick: dont mean to panic you but that doesnt sound good. could be a hardware issue with the hdd controller [15:02] ah fuck it, I'll just reinstall, thanks guys! [15:02] tcanabrava_: maybe the #kubuntu guys know better about kde related issues [15:02] k1l: well, I'm using ubuntu-vannilla here. [15:03] but I'll try there, thanks [15:03] tcanabrava_: since its a kde program one needs to install a bunch of kde stuff to run it. [15:04] k1l: agreed... it seems the deps are missing. [15:04] k1l: :/ 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] !ddrescue | tempnick [15:05] "not ddrescue piped to my irc handle"? [15:05] how use [15:05] "repeat ddrescue piped to my irc handle"? [15:05] tempnick: there is ddrescue which makes a 1to1 copy hardware bit wise. but you need a disk that is big enough too. [15:06] tempnick: the bot doesnt know about ddrescue, sorry [15:06] k1l: I don't have a large enough drive. [15:07] k1l: Perhaps I should speak with someone more familiar with LUKS? Hmm... === miczac\away is now known as miczac [15:07] k1l: not sure where that would be.

[15:36] k1l: the wiki says 3.5/3.6 are stable... they just haven't made it to the ubuntu repos? [15:36] ash_workz: ubuntu uses a stable release system. it cant include stuff into 16.04 that is made 2017 :) [15:37] ash_workz: there are patches included to fix security issues and heavy bugs, but the version stays the same. [15:38] k1l: well, there's apparently an rpm which started in 2015 [15:38] ash_workz: stop [15:38] dont use rpm packages. they are not made for ubuntu [15:38] * ash_workz stops [15:38] ioria sorry for late response i was reading om forums yes it detect [15:39] yakiza, can you paste the output ?

[15:41] k1l: I see; that's very through [15:41] ash_workz: that is not from ubuntu, that is from other 3rd party repos. you can use and install them but that is out of the reach of the ubuntu support then.

[15:47] yakiza, using vim to do what ? [15:48] sudo vim /erc/network/interfaces [15:48] hi all ubuntuers! [15:48] ioria [15:48] sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces [15:48] yakiza you can use nano [15:49] yakiza, that is for configure an interface, but your eth card dosn't have a moduel loded to work [15:49] *module [15:49] yakiza, paste the output of this: sudo lshw -C Network | grep product [15:49] The only available driver for my card is nvidia-304 (the blob) [15:50] throwthecheese, no 340 ? [15:50] Nope [15:50] old card? [15:51] Furthermore, I have to deal with annoying graphics issues like no Blender and trashy resolution ever since electricity workers caused a blackout [15:51] yakiza, in the meanwhile , it would be useful download the 16.10 iso [15:52] I have a server that can send e-mails (mail -s "subject" "recipient" <<< "body"), and another server with the same ubuntu version that can't send e-mails. [15:52] throwthecheese, which card, sudo lshw -C video [15:52] I can't figure out where the configuration difference is!

[15:54] yakiza, how did you get the 16.04 iso ? [15:54] throwthecheese, ok , sudo apt install nvidia-304, that will remove nouveau and install the 304 driver which should be a somewhat better [15:55] i think 304 does not work for that 7025 [15:55] I currently have the blob installed, but my computer started to hate the blob all of a sudden after the blackout [15:55] i had download them before i got mmy new pc i removed all the pieces from old to new so i dont have other way now [15:55] ioria [15:56] lmat: maybe ssmtp or msmtp would suit your purpose.

[15:59] Nouveau works perfectly under Debian and openSUSE but not under Mint [16:00] yakiza, click on Network icon in the panel and 'edit connection' [16:01] ducasse: Yeah, it's not fully fledged in any way ;-) I remember setting up an account for it to use (so it could authenticate against gmail or something) [16:01] yakiza, Add -> WiFi [16:02] lmat: that is in essence what those tools do. [16:02] ioria how [16:03] yakiza, how what ? don't you have a network icon in the panel ? [16:03] ducasse: thanks [16:05] lmat: np. just avoid a full mta if you can, friendly advice :) === boshhead_ is now known as boshhead [16:13] I want to share something that happened to me yesterday: ppa xorg edgers updated all mesa libs to version 17 and it caused some applications, most notably VLC, to be removed.

It was as simple as sudo apt-get install sendmail-bin sendmail-base sendmail procmail sendmail-cf ; then mail -s "subjtest goma" recipient@gmail.com <<< "body body"; [16:38] walrider, sure, it is not official, but a repo provided by users [16:38] I noticed that /etc/mail; was missing on one server. dpkg -S /etc/mail; on the working server... dpkg --get-selections | grep mail; on the working server... sort of solves itself ^_^ [16:38] good morning [16:38] bootia32.efi ubuntu 14.04 ? [16:39] axk4545: for legal issues better talk to canonical directly. but for non own use its fine to rearrange the isos. and canonical did grant permissions to their IP without costs before when asked.

[16:41] walrider, upgrade perhaps? else it is a no go i guess [16:41] ShekharReddy: does the organization provide a version of anyconnect for linux? [16:42] ducasse: 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] axk4545: 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.

[16:46] OerHeks, 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 7.0 [16:47] siux: so the PPA only ships 7.1 instead of 7.0? [16:47] 14.04 is not beta, you got me off track with 7.1 without mentioning that ppa [16:47] lmat: 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] 7.0 also, i read [16:48] yea both [16:48] lmat: this was some time ago, though, dunno how they've done as of late. [16:48] ducasse: That's good to know. [16:48] apache is configured to use 7.0 and all is good, jsut cant get terminal/cli php to run on 7.0 [16:49] no idea how to bind it [16:50] somehow with set PATH="" and stuff or alias php="" or something, but nothing is working [16:50] when i use composer it will always use 7.1 and fail cause some dependencies require 7.0 [16:50] siux: Assuming you have the proper php-cli package installed, use sudo update-alternatives --config php === jarek is now known as Guest73842 [16:52] Pici, thanks that works :) [16:56] i noticed something odd yesterday, plugging in a hdd i borrowed to my brother and he returned it. i plugged it in and noticed this > http://i.imgur.com/nUIOVu7.jpg [16:56] it is small, left screen, wine update ... but i hate wine, no wine on my system .... after this there is a .wine folder indeed!

[18:13] arya__, wait... may i ask you what's on the disk you inserted ? [18:13] ioria: VCD [18:13] arya__, i asked you to try another disc .... [18:13] ioria: AH SORRY [18:13] hi all, I'm trying to make postfix my default MTA without using the `dpkg-reconfigure` interactive menu, I'm provisioning with ansible. What do I have to do to make sendmail stop stealing the MTA role ? [18:13] ioria: the disc contains somgs [18:14] *songs [18:14] ioria: i have a set of VCDs... i am trying with another one [18:14] arya__, if it's a audio cd it doesn't mount ... [18:14] okay [18:15] arya__, try to stop the process [18:15] ioria: okay [18:15] anyway..all a bit of joke. being close enough to computers, no need to get integrated into them, ever. [18:16] is anyone already tracking down the libreoffice failures in z-p? it seems like ant and liborcus-0.11-0 aren't being picked up (at least) as build-deps? [18:17] by the way, is it because of this snap thing that I got 'all' the packages of LibreOffice installed,including those that I will not need?

[18:20] ioria: followed the instructions on the link and it did not install anything new saying things are alreay up to date [18:20] lhambley: why are both sendmail and postfix installed? seems unnecessary... [18:20] arya__, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras [18:20] ioria: okay [18:21] ioria: done [18:21] ducasse: I can't answer that, I keep removing sendmail and it comes back, I *presume* it's coming in as some dep from another package, but I can't get it to stay gone - hard to tell when one has ~900 lines of ansible config that one inherited, and has ~20 places calling teh `apt` playbook [18:21] arya__, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [18:21] but for the sake of my sanity then, the package `sendmail` should not be installed, at all, anywhere ? [18:21] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23989983/ [18:22] arya__, sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh [18:23] ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23989989/ [18:23] arya__, when it exits , reboot [18:23] ioria: okay [18:24] lhambley: packages should not depend on a specific mta package, but default-mta or whatever it's called [18:25] ducasse thanks mate, pulling my hair out for 45 min wondering why the hell my postfix rewriting stuff wasn't taking effect o_O [18:26] ederica [18:26] 14 anni [18:26] federica [18:26] lhambley: take a look at 'apt rdepends sendmail', see if you can figure out what wants it [18:26] mora carnagione scura coda di cavallo occhi neri formosa [18:27] nice, didn't know apt could do that - nothing jumping out at me [18:30] weirdly ducasse postfix won't start and `echo "Test mail from postfix" | mail -s "Test Postfix $(date --iso-8601)" me@mydomain.com` hangs with notes from `sendmail[14066]` like ` stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]` in the mail log, although there's no sendmail listening on :25 (which explains the error) I just don't understand why I get `sendmail[]` in the logs, unless this is referring to [18:30] postfix's sendmail drop-in replacemnet ? [18:33] why would `pg_ctlcluster ... status` say the cluster is up but `pg_lsclusters` claim it's down? [18:33] lhambley: it very well could be. have you asked in #ubuntu-server? they might have a better idea how to figure this out, and i've gtg in a min [18:34] sure, thanks for the time you could give me already :) === arya is now known as Guest13513 [18:36] ioria: hi [18:37] Guest13513, hi [18:37] ioria: it solved the problem [18:37] thanx for the help [18:37] Guest13513, ok, you're welcome [18:37] ioria: i can see the cd rom is mounted now [18:37] Guest13513, good [18:38] Hello, i have an issue with sshd, it fails to connect every N days (between 3 and 24) on my server, i use keys and other port to connect, is this a known bug? how can i debug / solve this issue?

[18:40] nothing in auth.log, perhaps i need to up some debug [18:40] yes web and other services work [18:40] ping is turned off [18:41] ioria: to cross verify, the problem was with the extra services, right? [18:41] hello [18:41] Guest13513, probably, yes but VCD can be troublesome === Guest13513 is now known as arya_ [18:41] it seems like sshd crashed, but that is not in syslog dmsg or any other [18:41] ioria: okay [18:42] i've been trying to apt-get install lately and I get an incredible delay for 0% [Connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com (2001:67c:1562::16)] did something change recently?

[18:57] yes, they apply directly if correct [18:59] thanks Zelfje [19:10] So, I want to partition the flash drive. The first partition with live ubuntu, the second a ext4 to copy stuff and the third a swap partition. The problem is that I can't mount the second partition as read and write. What to do? [19:15] Worm_in_a_Box, try unetbootin (not sure if it will help you, or not)... [19:16] It has nothing to do with the problem, actually :| [19:17] anyone have any experience with gpsd here? [19:18] Worm_in_a_Box: one option could be to install ubuntu on the drive, then partition it further [19:18] Worm_in_a_Box, seems you want to install ubuntu on a flash drive (that will make an ext4 and swap), then you can resize the ext4 and create a third ext4 partition to copy stuff, if I understood the issue [19:18] there's something funky with the iso partitioning when you write it on the usb stick [19:19] pavlos: I want to run ubuntu live, while also being able to copy stuff in a different partition located in the same device. [19:19] Partition 1 is a FAT 32 that contains the iso, Partition 2 is an ext4 with nothing and Partition 3 is a swap. [19:19] Swap is working. [19:19] Live is working. [19:19] Can't mount 2 as rw [19:19] My jetson has a flash installed ubuntu. My raspi's would need 4 Gb or so of RAM to use one. still it is not all that difficult to create a .img and flash it.

And I believe 'cat' can be faster still [19:23] sorry about the anti-lisp [19:24] Wut === Gazyrlezon is now known as Nery [19:40] Hi 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? [19:42] Worm_in_a_Box, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12532/dd-vs-cat-is-dd-still-relevant-these-days [19:42] 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 automatically [19:43] k1l_ 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] RJW2: hold super (the winows key) to see the shortcuts [19:44] RJW2: like ctrl+alt+numpad [19:45] that's actually cool that it works with the numpad.... I'll try that - as soon as I contected a keyboard to my 14" laptop ;-) [19:46] Hello 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?

[20:27] sm222, wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso [20:27] Yeah that's what I did. [20:27] im 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] that also works if you just remove everything after the ? [20:30] lerner: yes, probably. [20:30] .... [20:30] anyhow 1 minute in my download so its no big deal, nuking this desktop. [20:30] thanks again [20:31] Hello ! [20:31] I have simple question. I installed AMDGPU-PRO drivers, and where is control panel ? [20:32] lerner: 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] ya hi [20:32] I'm apt-upgrading [20:32] update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-47-generic [20:33] wendico, ifI start a virtual machine, will the notebook also be this loud? [20:33] i dont want the notebook to burn [20:33] I'm generating like 30 of those. Why? Can I make it stop? [20:33] I have simple question. I installed AMDGPU-PRO drivers 16.60 for Ubuntu 16.04, and where is control panel ? [20:33] lerner, i guess in a vm that fan will go higher [20:34] max12345: probably you've not ccleaned out your kernels (apt-get autoremove, e.g.) [20:34] lerner: 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 noisy [20:34] max12345: 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. [20:35] so you guys runs virtualizations on desktops... [20:35] leaner: tip: doing anything on a virtual machine takes more resources than running on the host machine [20:36] nacc: 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 process [20:36] max12345: no it shouldn't. [20:37] max12345: if you specify `apt-get install ` autoremove should not remove it, iir [20:37] wendico, OerHeks have you ever applied oilor butter to the contact partsof a fan, so its not so noisy? [20:37] how to change DPI (Logitech G100S) this mouse have button "dpi switch" but in default is over 1000dpi, i need 400dpi [20:37] I'm booting an AWS Ubuntu AMI with 2 x 2Tb disks. Looks like cloud-init only formats them to 1Tb??? [20:38] dgarstang: probably want #ubuntu-server [20:38] leaner: 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 new [20:38] k [20:38] lerner:^ [20:38] lerner, ugh no .. who gave you that tip ? fans nowadays do not need lubricant [20:38] I read that on a blog iirc [20:39] er000k, for your first question : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-CCC-Linux-Doing-The-Pre-Req [20:39] so I need a desktop with a huge fan to watch movies... [20:40] update-initramfs is not returning. wtf? [20:40] lerner *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 RMA [20:40] this is a new server with 16.04, nothing special at all. /boot has disk space [20:41] Oerheks, 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 myself [20:41] strace shows it's stuck on wait4(-1, === Guest87159 is now known as Agent === KindOne_ is now known as KindOne [20:42] OerHeks, sadly my old notebook is a bigger one with a dedicatd graphics card [20:42] wendico, that may work, my experience is just touching the fan too hard will make it worse [20:43] also, why does ubuntu server not boot to a working VTY? [20:44] This 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 noise [20:44] btw, all this is offtopic, sorry [20:44] qmr, the bootline might need some tweak to get the proper resolution, server does not contain videodrivers. [20:45] Hello, 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.

[20:51] *matrox [20:52] I would do that except the machine won't even reboot [20:52] wendico: what ubuntu is it? what driver in use? and why do you need to upgrade the opengl version? [20:53] wendico: use HWE [20:53] this is retarded. I think we'll be going with Debian or Centos.

[20:59] of course it is? [20:59] he just said it's uid 1000 [20:59] lebeev, setting rootpassword is not the ubuntu way, it is possible yes, but the problems that can happen are bad. [20:59] this just happened now when im trying to recompile a kernel [20:59] I never said he should set the root password OerHeks [21:00] I suggested he may escalate privileges so he could edit the sudoers file without taking the system offline [21:00] WeiJunLi: can you tell the whole story since that is not a standard ubuntu setup you got there [21:00] just use sudo .. [21:00] if that doesn't work, he'll have to reboot it and use something along the lines of init=/bin/bash to edit the sudoers file [21:00] if you bothered to read that's his problem [21:01] k1l_: the whole story is that everything was normal and now i have to do 'sudo make modules_install' [21:01] sudo isn't working [21:01] k1l_: and the output was that [21:01] k1l_: so can i upgrade to OpenGL 3.2 or later?

[21:03] k1l_ [21:04] WeiJunLi: did you try to change some files to "fix" your issue? looks like your user stup is very broken [21:04] WeiJunLi: or attempt to add a group to your user? [21:05] do i need to enter grub menu? [21:05] could have been a usermod command gone bad [21:06] WeiJunLi: did you try to use usermod to fix your issue? (would be more helpful if you answer questions to get to know your situation) [21:06] is ubuntu 16.10 avconv or ffmpeg [21:06] styler2go: both can be isntalled [21:07] what's the default in ubuntu packages [21:07] k1l_: to run usermod it needs sudo... [21:07] WeiJunLi: no, i asked you if you used that. i try to get to know what made that mess and if one can fix that [21:07] k1l_: no I havent [21:08] WeiJunLi: because that is not an ubuntu setup if you user is only in the "dialout" group. [21:08] k1l_: dunno why [21:08] k1l_: as i said everything was working great, now i just tried to do sudo make modules_install while recompiling a kernel and noticed that error.

Does that means something wrong happened while compiling? [22:18] WeiJunLi: most likely, yes, "although something wrong happened" is more likely you made a mistake [22:19] dunno where [22:19] WeiJunLi: well, unfortunately, once you compile your own kernel, you're kind of on your own -- probably best to ask in a kernel channel [22:19] It looks like cloud-init does not resize non root EBS disks. True? [22:20] dgarstang: try to stay in one channel (#ubuntu-server or #cloud-init are probably best) === tanuki_ is now known as tanuki [22:22] Hmm, 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] nacc: this is the output on busybox - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! UUID=...... does not exist. Dropping to a shell! [22:23] They 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] So, I needed to take the legit one, and customize the app+package name. [22:23] Then I can install it alongside [22:24] WeiJunLi: like I said, not really the purpose of this channel to support your own built kernel [22:25] Hi - 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? [22:26] ThreadBear: i would expect osrelease to be read-only [22:27] Hmm ok - what I'm ultimately trying to do is change the contents of /proc/release -- is this even possible? [22:27] ThreadBear: /proc/release doesn't exist anymore [22:27] ThreadBear: maybe you meant something else (this is on 16.10) [22:27] Sorry I meant /proc/version [22:28] ThreadBear: why do you want to change that file? [22:28] Aha - this will sound stupid, but im doing a CTF competition that involves a binary that check the value of /proc/release for a certain value [22:29] So I want to change THAT value [22:29] when is the 16.04.2 point release going to be released? it has been delayed 3 times already.

[23:31] i'm not an expert, but i think you can wget those as well [23:31] why does it pull the one from xenial-updates, and the other from xenial?

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"? [23:45] if im on ubuntu 14.04 will i ever get new kernels like 4.4 [23:45] @kzet: a group is just a form of permission... if you have a bunch of teachers on an install, you could make a group teachers [23:45] It even wants me to put in as well.. but I have no clue what "group" I was in before.

[23:46] kzet: groups [23:46] will give you groups a user is part of [23:47] I did that, but it told me that username doesn't exist. :/ [23:47] Could that be because I did the whole usermod thing before this groupmod change? [23:47] k1l_: what is meant by GA stack? " if one wants to remain on the original GA stacks" [23:47] it doesn't seem like adduser typically asks groups? [23:47] I don't remember it ever asking for groups off the top of my head [23:47] it asks for organization and a few other things [23:47] phone # [23:48] azizLIGHT: that is the new setup on1 6.04. [23:48] old unix holdover stuff from history [23:48] Lets 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] Where it wants me to add a newgroup and the oldgroup. [23:48] oldgroup can probably be left blank [23:48] azizLIGHT: you can use the 3.13 on 14.04 it came with. or the 4.4 backported kernel from 16.04. [23:49] alright, I'll try that out. [23:49] thanks! [23:49] ohhh, you are changing user not adding one [23:49] i see now [23:49] you can always add groups later [23:49] hes gone [23:49] oops. :-) [23:49] k1l_: what about getting even newer kernels [23:50] azizLIGHT: not from ubuntu. the 16,04 backports kernel is the latest you can get [23:50] i see [23:51] azizLIGHT: there are 3rd party repos but they are not official ubuntu kernels and might be missing needed features [23:52] Still no 16.04.2 release? [23:53] Alright! I'm stupid.. I changed my username to a new name.. that's why "groups " 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 "? [23:53] dbristow: it might be 16.february i heard. but you can install the 16.04(.1) isos and update [23:54] do I just seperate the group names with a "," or?
