[00:00] gmail does but google [00:00] heh [00:00] thanks OerHeks dotscit :) [00:00] google is great. I used to hate them, but then they changed my life with targeted ads [00:01] coffeeguy: google you might need to disable something to allow clients to connect to gmail [00:03] Hi folks. [00:03] KenLL: u [00:03] It appears RGB = Full is being triggered when I have a newer monitor plugged in. When I have an older one plugged in, I get by default LIMITED. [00:03] So it's not the software that has changed, it's my monitor. [00:03] Does this sound right? [00:04] KenLL, sounds plausible [00:04] how do i figure out from apt-cache policy, where a specific version is coming from, what ppa it belongs to [00:04] So the newer monitor is fully understood by Ubuntu or the kernel while the slightly older one, about a year older, is not fully compatible, and on every boot I have to manually enter RBG = Full. [00:04] where a specific version in the version table is coming from [00:05] azizLIGHT: I donnu === precise is now known as CopsColorComment === CopsColorComment is now known as precise [00:05] what ppa a sppecific version in version table of apt-cache policy it belongs to [00:05] sorry i am trying to rephrase better [00:05] azizLIGHT not sure if apt can handle ppa's, guess not [00:06] ok i found it by googling version number [00:06] if i removed this ppa, then why is it shown in the version table [00:06] fortunately its not shown as candidate for install [00:06] but still, why is it in the version table of apt-cache policy? [00:06] azizLIGHT, if you did not use ppa purge, installed versions will stick [00:07] but you know about ppapurge. [00:07] OerHeks: i did use ppa-purge but something happend where it was trying to remove too many packages ors omething and i had to abort so i had a partial ppa-purge command done essentially [00:07] but if i look in sources.list.d that ppa is commented out [00:08] yet apt-cache policy libegl1-mesa:i386: shows the version from that ppa [00:08] OerHeks: see result of above command: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24068446/ [00:08] azizLIGHT, so the ppa is not properly removed. [00:08] add it again, and perform ppa-purge [00:09] i keep getting this https://paste.ubuntu.com/24068448/ [00:09] Does Red Shift really soothe the eyes?

Ubuntu 16.10 i have English US keyboard. When i am programming i type "shift + m" why the fuck its typing ";" instead of ":"? [01:07] neither of those should show up if you type shift m. [01:08] Syzygy: press SHIFT + m in my Macbook is ":" not ";" [01:08] in my Macbook OSX i have English US keyboard. [01:08] shift + m is M on my notebook. granted i'm on windows right now. [01:09] Really? even though its typing ";" Syzygy [01:10] shift plus letter is usually the capital letter. [01:10] Syzygy: Even though its typing not capital but symbol as ";" [01:11] are you sure you're talking about the shift and the m key? [01:12] YES - Syzygy on my English US keyboard on right SHIFT key and i am pressing the M key [01:13] then how are you writing a capital m? [01:14] Syzygy: There is a keyboard layout in Ubuntu where its showing where my m is as ; or : [01:15] Syzygy: when i type SHIFT + m it types small m [01:15] could it be that my shift key is completely locked or blocked Syzygy? [01:15] but that's not the standard US layout then. [01:15] which is why nothing is happening with shift key related? [01:16] if it doesn't happen with other keys, then i doubt your shift key is stuck [01:16] Syzygy: Ubuntu completely ignoring my SHIFT key which is confusing me the hell out. [01:16] Syzygy: in have 2 shift key in my laptop. and both are not understood by Ubuntu 16.10 [01:16] its Sony Vaio VGN-AR61ZU laptop [01:17] i never heard of a keyboard that doesn't have two shift keys. [01:17] It HAS 2 SHIFT key [01:17] Sony Vaio VGN-AR61ZU model [01:17] yeah, like pretty much every keyboard. [01:18] you've chosen a non-standard keyboard layout. [01:18] Syzygy: on the same PC i have Windows OS, shift key works on it. But when Ubuntu 16.10 boots then its inactive. [01:19] cfhowlett: NO , keyboard is selected the standard worldwide English US [01:19] didn't you say mac os earlier btw? what was that about/ [01:19] Syzygy: i personally use OSX, Macbook Air [01:19] Syzygy: all the rest is Linux and Windows PC's [01:19] IamTrying, you do have an option for the sony laptop keyboard, though, yes? suggest you select that standard [01:20] so you're using a macbook air with us layout as a reference for your current vaio layout/ [01:20] The standard is selected since day 1 cfhowlett [01:20] Syzygy: exactly. since day 1 while installing ubuntu 16 [01:21] i just noticed that shift key was not working with ubuntu 16.10 if i go back to old ubuntu it works [01:21] what's the native keyboard layout on the vaio? [01:21] Syzygy: all my PC's keyboard native layout is Belgium French keybaords. But i only use English US (my mind only know that keyboard layout) [01:21] while trying to install VLC on yakkety, apt spits out this [01:21] The following packages have unmet dependencies: [01:21] vlc : Depends: libgles1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed or [01:21] libgles1 [01:21] Depends: libgles2-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed or [01:22] libgles2 [01:22] Syzygy: SHIFT is not inactive. When i open Ubunut keyboard test tool [01:22] and press SHIFT key it show me keyboard inputs in the keyboard [01:23] the m part was quite confusing considering no one would know that it owuld be located this way. [01:23] libgles2-mesa : Depends: libglapi-mesa (= 12.0.3-1ubuntu2) but 12.0.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 is to be installed [01:24] IamTrying: ' cat /etc/default/keyboard ' shows - XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" - ? [01:24] Syzygy: i think the summary is. Ubuntu 16.10 is unable to handle the SHIFT key inputs for this model of laptop (this laptop is anyway very old maybe thats why) [01:24] I wouldn't know, but by now some other people tuned in, maybe they know. [01:25] let me share Bashing-om, i have to ssh from my OSX to it. cause many keys are not working on that keyboard. [01:26] wow ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.24 port 22: Operation timed out [01:26] lost some files, or cant see them. message from the system is that the structure need to be cleaned up. what can I do? its only one folder thats blank. the rest seem to be okay.

[01:33] IamTrying: Got me too, as you do have a US keyboard and with the US layout . === Anticime1 is now known as Anticimex [01:34] Right. But the problem is Ubuntu failed to understand the SHIFT key, it does not react at all Bashing-om. But on same machine CentOS 7 or Windows 10 works for shift key [01:37] hi hi - i have a weird issue. I'm using sublime text 3, which is working ok. But when I open sublime with terminal or via keyboard shortcut, it shows on my dock that it opens with a different icon. I right click that and it doesn't have a "show details" option, so it doesn't have any .desktop file associated with it. [01:37] I run the same command in the Exec= portion of the .desktop file, and it'll still do this. [01:37] i ran ps ax and see that it's all running "subl" [01:37] so i am not sure why it opens with a brand new icon with no .desktop association [01:38] im using gnome 3 [01:38] IamTrying: Well, a thought . what does 'xev' reveal when you give focus to the xev window and press a shift key ? [01:39] basil-pesto, sublime text is paid software, they provide support http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/getting_started/install.html [01:39] incl desktop file [01:39] basil-pesto: `xev` do not respond on any SHIFT key but for all other key it react. [01:40] @OerHeks, this seems more like it's responding to something in gnome, though [01:40] @IamTrying, sorry i dont understand. [01:41] basil-pesto, hart to say what is wrong, ask the man with the money? [01:41] basil-pesto: CTRL, FN, SHIFT key do not work (while xev running) [01:42] @IamTrying, I think that's for Bashing-om, not me. [01:43] maybe it is <> rename the "Sublime Text 2" directory to "SublimeText2" ( folder with spaces, lolz) [01:43] does xubuntu not have a boot from 1st drive option? I'm trying to see what's wrong with my server install(beyond the fact the machine needs some new thermal paste). [01:43] Oh yea sorry its midnight here, i am very tired doing mistakes and overstressed with dead lines basil-pesto [01:44] Hello [01:45] no problems, i was just confused :D [01:45] wow, i managed to break ubuntu in under 40 minutes [01:45] ubuntu is great until it isn't [01:46] zerorax: wait a minute I recognize that nick....are you a racketboy user? [01:46] any chance I can download a backport manually (in windows) from this site http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/ and then install them from the file in ubuntu? [01:46] no kaosine and I'm surprized anyone else is clever enough to make this nick [01:47] I've talked to thousands of hackers and hundreds of os developers and i've only ever had 1 person get the reference [01:47] zerorax: worth a shot....know a guy on those forums who has that same nick XD [01:48] zerorax, is there any support Q in that? else join #ubuntu-offtopic for chitchat please [01:48] oh this is only for support? [01:48] zerorax, jups [01:49] I thought it was just ubuntu related chat... [01:49] but yeah I could ask someone to advise me [01:49] probably a good idea cause otherwise I gotta reinstall [01:49] blech I need to burn a ubuntu live disc since I can't find a option to boot into my ubuntu server from xubuntu >_< [01:50] you can make grub boot iso's from your drive if it's compiled the right way [01:50] kaosine, hold shift @ boot, and grub menu appears [01:52] OerHeks: that may be the problem the more I look at it. If I push the button on the machine it acts like nothing is installed and boots right off after the bios screen so i'm thinking there might be a issue with grub or something [01:53] kaosine, keep pressing left shift repeatedly, it should work [01:54] OerHeks: nope nothing. the files are obivously there because the xubuntu disc could see them but I get no grub apparently [01:58] kaosine, keep trying.. or edit grub from xubuntu >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/16042/how-to-get-to-the-grub-menu-at-boot-time [01:58] OerHeks: ok yeah retried it after selecting the cd and told it to boot to first disk "Boot failed" [01:58] not from live iso, from your install!!!!! [01:59] OerHeks: yeah but holding it as it boots does nothing from the install [02:01] OerHeks: I'm just going to burn a actual ubuntu server disc and reinstall. I didn't really have anything on the server to begin with beyond trying to set up quassel(which that part I shifted to digital ocean for now) [02:03] I need a login manager i can set a primary monitor and ive looked around the net and get that gdm cant be set to a specific monitor will kdm allow me to do so? [02:03] I've just created the file /usr/share/applications/phpstorm.desktop Now how do I actually get that icon onto my desktop? === Kevin`_ is now known as Kevin` [02:04] put it into the desktop folder i think [02:04] under /home/youruser/desktop [02:05] kaosine: Id this is a EFI machine, it is the escape key (spammed ) that grub looks for . [02:06] Bashing-om: nope just clicks when I hit anything other than shift [02:09] Is there something I can do to make ubuntu work with a 4k screen? as it is right now, it's an OS made for ants. === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [02:09] Syzygy, meaning less question. Any useful details?? [02:09] kaosine: Got the better of me then, Need to boot something somewhere and find out if this box is MBR or EFI arch . [02:10] seems like the OS ui is scaled to pixels rather than screen density. letters are millimeters in size. [02:10] Syzygy, SYSTEMSETTINGS > DISPLAYS > SCALE ... [02:10] thanks. [02:10] sorry for the caps .. [02:10] np [02:11] before i shut down my system to boot in ubuntu i have two more questions [02:11] With thanks [02:11] Bashing-om: I'm just going to transfer my server iso to my external hdd and try to burn it on xubuntu once I transfer it over to that computer.....something must've gone screwy with the install since I did do it from a usb drive the first time. Maybe reinstaling it from a dvd will fix it... [02:13] first question, where can I get the appropriate drivers for my system? Unfortunately I need to download them in windows since some of the missing drivers are for wifi. My wifi hardware is killer 1535 and i need it for ubuntu 14.04. [02:15] according to the killer page, i need a backport (http://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/knowledge-base?view=topic&id=2) but since I can't download it via apt-get like the backport page recommends I somehow need to download it in windows and install it from my filesystem. How can I do that? [02:15] seem like this would be the correct thing for the 14.04 backport http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/ [02:17] Bashing-om: stupid question but what's the best burning software for xubuntu/ubuntu? [02:18] kaosine: whatever works the best for you. I think Brasero is the default for ubuntu [02:19] tgm4883: well I guess I'm stuck with xfburn then since that's default in xubuntu [02:19] kaosine: Nothing stupid at all . But All I can say is 'dd' is my preference . Recall, I do not do Windows or Mac :P [02:19] Bashing-om: well I'm in xubuntu and not using dd because knowing me I'd screw it up [02:22] kaosine: xfburn in xubuntu will get the job done . [02:22] I'm currently trying to transfer files from my current user to an external from a bootable USB and was wondering how I could su into the user on the installed volume from the booted iso from the USB [02:22] Bashing-om: that's if it gets a move on, kinda froze up on me just now [02:22] su *user* and su - *user* says the user doesn't exist [02:23] second question. how can I change my grub to automatically and instantly boot into an OS of my choice unless I interrupt the boot process via a button press? (e.g. like it often works for booting from different media) [02:23] Bashing-om: ok may be missing some drivers says the drive can't be used for burning o_O [02:23] kaosine: That ain't good . verify the .iso integrity (md5sum ) ?? [02:24] Bashing-om: it should be even if I moved it from my mac to xubuntu [02:26] kaosine: Good think to check and make sure .

[02:46] with mate desktop sometimes copy-paste doesnt work on in phpstorm or intellij [02:46] <__Kevin__> Aurorasaura, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/18154/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-lostfound-folder-in-linux-and-unix [02:47] http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/lostfound.html [02:47] and my other question is when adding disks would I add them in the aspect of sdb ,sdc ? [02:47] ty __Kevin__ [02:47] <__Kevin__> np Aurorasaura [02:50] found nevermind it is a jre problem [02:54] so my wifi icon in the top right shows "device not ready" and when I type lshw -C network, it's listed as "*-network DISABLED" [02:54] When I press ctrl-alt-t a new terminal opens up. How do I figure out which process is capturing the keystrokes and starting the term? [02:54] can I enable it somehow?? [02:55] This global shortcut is preventing me from using ctrl-alt-t in firefox which is more important to me than opening terms. [02:56] Syzygy_, do you have a hardware wifi enable switch or function key just to eliminate the simple, can also try, rfkill list, to show if it is disabled somehow through a hard/soft switch [02:57] I do have a function key that does not seem to work, there's also a checkbox next to enable wi-fi [02:57] softblocked yes, hard blocked no. [02:58] shalok, should be able to change it in the keyboard shortcuts preferences you can get from the dash or your launcher [02:58] seems like the function key does something, now both is on no. [02:58] Syzygy_: Networking is flaky on my machine. `sudo system restart NetworkManager` usually 'fixes' it. ymmv [02:58] Syzygy_, you want both to be no [02:58] Syzygy_, not sure about the network DISABLED you see in lshw though [02:59] still the case, trying what shalok suggested now [02:59] erm, systemctl [02:59] not system [02:59] Syzygy_: ^ [02:59] Hi, I've got a wacom tablet (intuos 2 6x8) that shows up in dmesg, shows up in the control panel, lights up the led on the tablet, but does not control the mouse. Any hints? [02:59] sudo: systemctl: command not found [03:00] Syzygy_: Well on my machine that command restarts networking. Not sure how to do it on your machine if you're not using systemd. [03:01] shalok, believe Syzygy_ is on 14.04 [03:01] it's a fresh install of 14.04 [03:02] I am a bit lost. I expect 5 partitions and some unpartitioned space-time be on the drive cuz: win7, NTFS for storage, then from end 14.04, /home for 14.04 (someone has since convinced me that is a bad idea), 16.04. [03:04] ^^ what u exactly trying for? [03:05] I can't tell which is which, except for the windows is the large NTFS and the rest are Linux. I want to replace the 16.04 partition with 14.04 [03:06] try gparted ...u can borwse partitions using live boot usb [03:06] sudo killAll NetworkManager seems to have worked. [03:07] I am "on a phone, android" and andchat no longer gets freenode .. this client IRCCloud stinks. No Nick completion, no comment history. [03:07] but now it tells me that wifi is diable by hardware switch. which i don't have, and rfkill list shows that it's not blocked [03:08] U53r now bootingnup live 14.04 [03:08] Slow. [03:08] tripelb: GL === dfused_ is now known as dfused [03:09] U53r (blessed be yr short Nick) what do you mean by gl -- still booting up [03:10] if i give apt-cache policy a bunch of packages, how do i restrict the output to only installed packages [03:13] If this disconnects (am still on free app) I will return u53R [03:13] hmm, looks like I'm getting keyboard shortcuts from at least 3 different source... openbox, lxqt-keyboard and xbindkeys [03:13] Bashing-om: reinstalling now. Hopefully burning it to a DVD like this and doing it this way will fix it. Ended up using k3b to burn it [03:14] so when trying to start the network manager again i get an error... "GError set over the top of a previous Gerror or uninitialized memory. blabla previous error was: Key file does not have group 'connectivity'" [03:14] I think c-a-t is coming from ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml [03:15] kaosine: L_ [03:15] Bashing-om: ?? [03:16] kaosine: Laid back while you finish up . [03:28] I need something like GTK V4L to adjust webcam settings on Ubuntu 16.04. I've tried to add it and gnuview but neither worked [03:28] Any Suggestions!? [03:32] Bashing-om: well it seems to work. The real test will be a reboot and see if it decides to flake like last time [03:34] kaosine: Only way to know for sure - reboot and see . [03:35] Bashing-om: well seems to work. I'll shut it down and retest tomorrow. Knowing my luck the issue is probably rooted in the thermal paste issue that I'll have to test tomorrow. Thanks in advance for all your help [03:37] kaosine: :) .. Glad2help . Long as you are trying, I am too . [03:39] Geez it there must have been some massive amount of upgrades for xubuntu to come out lately forgot I ran upgrade in terminal XD [03:40] On the repurposed computer not the server/repurposed dekstop [03:48] service networking start -> job is already running; service network reload -> job is not running; [03:48] great... === dfused_ is now known as dfused [03:55] 14.04 livedvd sees more partitions than kubuntu 14.04 -- kde seems to be flawed. How can I tell for sure which partition is kubuntu so I can replace it. I have 3 ext partitions that are not swap or tiny. [03:55] Is there a file in some free that holds the version name? [03:56] im watching a movie. It is too dark. what player can I use to change brightness? its amkv file [03:56] lerner: what are you using right now? [03:56] parole [03:56] In some folder (no comment history) [03:56] VLC handles those and I /think/ it has picture adjustments [03:56] tripelb, see the fstab entries, to be sure [03:57] VLC seems to do everything best [03:57] lerner: yeah I'd suggest VLC. It's probably the best player out there I know of [03:58] tripelb, sudo blkid && cat /etc/fstab [04:03] OerHeks: OK /etc/fstab (I had to look it up. I started to ask you then said, earn some respect.) I will look at it now. Thanks .. I had been looking around etc randomly. [04:05] tripelb, iirc kubuntu gives an option reinstall/fresh too [04:10] OerHeks: fyi (I don't have internet at home, except my phone. I don't want kubuntu, it was just the only 14.04 64 disk at the lug one day. I prolly would like to try mint someday, on another partition, over my not-quite-right ubuntub16.04. ATM I have a 14.04 disk and I am mad at kubuntu for not showing all my partitions nicely like gparted did. I have [04:10] Windows and another save-things partition. Plus a backup drive. And another backup drive. [04:11] http://student.zjzk.cn/course_ware/data_structure/web/main.htm [04:11] And I will backup before I do it( -- fyi I had one backup drive before the LUG-president destroyed my regular hard drive. So I bought a second. [04:13] tripelb, 2 backups is not too much these days [04:14] Oerheks My sense or organization shambles. I could not get kubuntu to see the outboard HD connected with a USB kit, tried with 2 different drives. This doesn't work for me. Ogensluit [04:15] tripelb, what filesystem is on that drive? if it is windows/exfat, you would need 2 tools [04:15] exfat-fuse exfat-utils > http://askubuntu.com/questions/451364/how-to-enable-exfat-in-ubuntu-14-04 [04:15] fat32 and ntfs are standard supported [04:16] .. unless they have errors/dirty shutdown, then you would need windows to repair with chkdsk [04:16] OerHeks: thanks for the ratification. Since I am tired I must quit now before I make mistakes. I took a drive with photos out of mynoldacbook. I would have done nothing YEARs ago had I know how easy. Site ufixit = good. [04:16] :-) [04:16] My old Macbook [04:17] :-) ;+) === Guest89082 is now known as him-cesjf [04:31] my last windows computer is about to be converted lol [04:32] this last forced update ruined me === giraffe is now known as Guest36413 [04:48] alright, can someone explain to me why my Ubuntu outright refuses to even acknowledge the existence of my Samsung 32GiB EVO SDHC [1] card [04:49] This isn't a matter of, "oh just mount / format it"; I mean it literally doesn't even show up in the list of devices for gparted [04:50] The card is brand-new out of the box; and Ubuntu doesn't have any trouble with my other SDHC cards [04:50] IgloriusFishPoo, what filesystem is on that drive? if it is windows/exfat, you would need 2 tools [04:51] I have no idea, because like I said, this isn't a matter of mounting, Ubuntu literally does not recognize the device period === michael__ is now known as Guest20937 [04:51] Yes it is. [04:52] unknown filesystem = no go [04:53] an unknown filesystem will still show up in gparted or `fdisk -l` [04:53] true. [04:53] yet it doesn't [04:53] but even new cards can be broken. [04:54] test it in an other pc? [04:55] don't really have another device to test it in [04:56] oh well, it only cost me like, $12... [04:56] smartphone perhaps? [04:57] nah, I don't really buy smartphones. hate using touchscreens [04:57] haha me too, dirty screen is annoying ( even though i like ubuntu-touch) [04:58] I've just got this jurassic-aged Verizon flip from like, 1999 [04:58] 3310 .. [04:58] Is there something I am missing? I put an SSL cert in /etc/ssl/certs and the key in /etc/ssl/private but I still can't get programs to use the CRT/Key [04:58] but it will be dead within 6 months, 3G is going down. [05:00] oh wait I think I got it working finally [05:00] at least in Chrome [05:01] I tried using a smart phone before and absolutely hated it. They come with a shit-ton of crapware that can't be uninstalled; and the policies of storage device usage made buying the use of SD cards completely pointless [05:03] IgloriusFishPoo, find a way to test that card, or send it back [05:05] To be frank, I would be using Windows if not for that fact that Windows XP/7 will be dropped soon. I don't take kindly to the idea of a paid subscription to have my user data fished against my will and downgrading my user experience. [05:06] plus I'm primarily a C developer and most of the libraries I use require building with autotools...which on Windows just runs like total shit. [05:07] .. have fun! [05:07] hi [05:07] yes, windows leaks so much data :-(.. [05:08] It's not my first experience with Linux ;p. I actually began a few years back with OpenSuse, then Ubuntu 12, went to Mint for about a year, and then back to Ubuntu for quite a few years. I actually have only been using Windows for the last year or so [05:09] I don't dual boot, because I messed around with that a lot in the past, and it inevitably let to file system corruption and hard disk failure [05:11] OerHeks: i removed all the xorg-edgers ppa mess, removed it from all package's apt-cache policy version tables, did ppa-purge and now all my packages are finally back to ubuntu repo versions. now my question is, am i still on HWE? (i have made lots of changes and downgrades) where do i stand [05:12] azizLIGHT, what kernel are you on now? [05:12] OerHeks: i also did hwe-support-status --show-all-unsupported and i got no result [05:12] 3.13.0-110-generic selected manually from grub because 4.4 wouldnt boot. i have 4.4 installed [05:13] oh, 3.13 is not part of HWE. [05:13] if you remove kernel 4.4 and reinstall hwe again, it should work. [05:13] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [05:14] * OerHeks trows a frog over his left shoulder for good luck [05:14]
