[00:06] Hi. Anyone know where I should configure dhclient to use the -i switch to send it's DUID to the DHCP server? === lethu_ is now known as lethu [00:29] Good evening :) [00:30] My goggle-fu is lacking tonight, perhaps someone here knows... is there any way to run a script when power saving turns on or off the screen ? [00:30] on 16.04 / 4.4 [00:31] where can i download 17.04 Ubuntu beta? [00:32] thrmo, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ [00:33] ty [00:34] deskwizard: make you own hook: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower#An_example_power.d_hook [00:34] ponyrider: will look into that. much appreciated [00:40] ponyrider: yeah, I kinda want it to do it itself, the whole point is not having to do it by hand, running shell commands manually isnt really what I was looking for [00:41] yeah, it will once you do that [00:44] deskwizard: you said to want to run a script when power saving turns on/off.. so what? how should it be done? [00:45] ponyrider: that's pretty much what I was asking :P [00:47] deskwizard: use pm-utils and just place any script in /etc/pm/power.d [00:48] how do i make on-screen keyboard toggle automatically on unity? i'm using a x86 tablet [00:51] hello [00:52] ponyrider: thanks for the tips, I'll go bash my head against a wall for a couple hours [00:52] o/ [01:36] hi. I've been having some ongoing troubles with a dropping connection on Ubuntu 16.04. it's been going on in some way, shape or form since I started using Linux-based operating systems in late September. can anyone lend a hand? [01:36] http://pastebin.com/Q3BtNX3q list of specific issues [01:39] Wired? Wireless? [01:40] wireless. [01:40] Can you pastern the output of 'lspci' and 'lshw -C network' ? [01:41] alright [01:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24212712/ lspci [01:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24212715/ lshw -C network [01:44] "WARNING: you should run this program as super-user" try 'sudo lshw -C network' [01:45] yeah, I was wondering what that was - didn't really want to touch that though [01:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24212736/ sudo lshw -C network [01:50] I suspect you may have the wrong driver for you wifi hardware installed. I don't know exactly what you should be using, but it's where i would start looking. === luo is now known as isolated [01:51] that's what I've thought, but I wasn't certain and wasn't going to try screwing around blindly [01:52] though you don't know which one to use, where would be a good place to look? is there an area on any of the ubuntu sites or on intel? [01:52] When it gets bad, kit may be worth checking the output of 'sudo dmesg' to see if the kernel is logging any errors [01:53] Something like 'dmesg|grep wlp3s0' [01:54] 'lsmod' will tell you what drivers you are using [01:56] Googling for 'ubuntu RTL8188EE driver' may provide some help [01:57] okay === Guest20745 is now known as arCABAL [01:58] I'm afraid I can't be of much more help, but hopefully you may recognise the symptoms from some of the results of that search [01:59] I appreciate it [01:59] Munger: the drivers in the paste :P [01:59] 90% of ubuntu has been working very well, but this has been a pain since day one [02:00] configuration: broadcast=yes driver=rtl8188ee driverversion=4.... [02:03] ugh [02:03] think I've gotten myself kind of lost with this [02:05] al2o3-cr, It is, but I don't know if that is a good or bad driver. All I can do is suggest things to check. IO may be barking up the wrong tree, but it does sound to me like a driver issue. [02:06] Munger: sure [02:07] NiteRaidah2: have you tried with any other driver? [02:09] al2o3-cr: I haven't. like I mentioned above I theorized all this was due to some sort of driver issue but I had no idea what to do and didn't want to risk screwing things up - even if that wasn't something to worry about === luo is now known as isolated [02:09] NiteRaidah2: try with rtl8821ae [02:10] alright [02:11] probably a silly question but is it free to do? [02:11] NiteRaidah2: of course [02:11] cool. [02:11] NiteRaidah2: firstly `sudo modprobe -r rtl8188ee` [02:11] We now know two things we didn't know ten minutes ago. It's a RTL8188EE Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01) and the driver is rtl8188ee 4.4.0-66-generic. Combine that with the output of uname -a and troubleshooters have something useful to go on :) [02:12] Good stuff. :) [02:13] I have several email boxs, what I thought I could do was to setup a VM to download all the emails (via pop) and then setup a web email server so I could read them... do you think this is a good idea? [02:13] rtl8188ee has always been a bit crappy [02:15] so uh [02:15] nrdb, Can't you simply switch the email accounts to IMAP instead? Mail servers are notoriously tricky, and unless you have a static IP they don;t work well anyway. [02:16] was that supposed to knock out my connection? === luo_ is now known as isolatedd [02:18] NiteRaidah3: if you were dependent on wifi then yet...they probably should have mentioned that to you so you wouldn't be shocked [02:18] yes not yet [02:18] I see [02:19] isolated [02:19] NiteRaidah3: did you regain wifi or did you plug in a ethernet cable? [02:20] still don't have wifi on that laptop, nor did I plug in an ethernet cable. currently on backup laptop. [02:20] Munger, as IMAP leaves the email on the email server, I usally use POP, and my internet IP of my server hasn't changed in months. [02:20] NiteRaidah3: my bad, i summized you were using ethernet :( [02:20] NiteRaidah3: ah i see...chatting from a different computer [02:20] yep [02:20] no problem al2 [02:21] NiteRaidah3: so the module is unloaded now? [02:21] um [02:21] what do you mean? [02:22] NiteRaidah3: is the wifi connection lost on the HP? [02:22] yes, it's lost on that laptop [02:22] airplane mode's going, no available connections [02:23] NiteRaidah3: `sudo modprobe rtl8821ae` on HP now [02:23] is there a way to make custom desktop actions / Quicklist in kubuntu 16.10 like in plank dock and unity please? [02:24] I don't think that did anything [02:25] it doesn't output anything. check your wifi now [02:25] still nothing [02:26] um, maybe i'm thinking of the wrong driver === isolatedd is now known as isolated [02:26] Doesn't he have to restart the networking service after switching the driver? I'm pretty tired right now and not thinking clearly [02:27] NiteRaidah3: restore you're original one back with `sudo modprobe rtl8188ee` [02:27] Munger: no [02:28] okay, connection's live (still have the minor vpn thing but that's an issue for later) [02:28] gonna switch back [02:29] ok [02:29] is Lubuntu noticeably faster than xubuntu? looking for something lean and mean for an old netbook with 16G of storage [02:30] *your (pretty sure i'm tired too) [02:30] gah, finally [02:30] Is there a way to make custom desktop actions / Quicklist in kubuntu 16.10 like in plank dock and unity please? [02:30] freaking irc [02:30] client [02:32] quit [02:32] https://medium.com/@elmaxx/rtl8821ae-wifi-drivers-in-ubuntu-16-04-4c1286524afa I found this while googling rtl8821ae. could this be a solution? [02:34] NiteRaidah2: are you chatting from the hp with the issue right now? [02:34] Yes [02:34] the wifi's good to go on that end [02:34] NiteRaidah2: in terminal> sudo apt install inxi pastebinit [02:34] NiteRaidah2: when it's done..say so [02:35] okay, it's done [02:36] NiteRaidah2: in terminal> inxi -Fxxrzc0|pastebinit [02:36] NiteRaidah2: share the url/link here [02:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24212971/ === luo is now known as isolated [02:38] ex-chat [02:38] Hi [02:41] NiteRaidah2: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2222492 [02:42] this should be good for 16.04 too? [02:44] so boring here [02:44] At this point I'd usually suggest booting from a current live CD and testing the wifi on that. If it works, compare the kernel version and loaded drivers with what you have and see if anything is glaringly obvious. [02:45] Off to bed. Good luck. [02:45] thank you. [02:53] tatertots: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213043/ judging by the last few lines I think something went awry, don't think it's compatible [02:56] NiteRaidah2: in terminal> apt list --installed|grep build [02:56] NiteRaidah2: do you see anything in red letters or red font?

[03:05] thanks a ton for the help. I've gotten a lot further than I have before and it's nice to make some legitimate headway with all this :) [03:05] 'night [03:05] if anyone is on an ubuntu box can you see if /lib/modules//build is a symlink?

[03:12] they have an xfce version of ubuntu correct. [03:15] Killamanjaro: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ [03:34] package beep not beeping pc speaker .. 12.04 [03:39] anyone? [03:39] package beep not beeping pc speaker .. 12.04 [03:40] hello [03:40] hi [03:40] hello [03:46] so [03:47] fresh 16.04.2 install but i'm having issues where if i click on a program in the unity launcher it won't open it [03:47] like an existing window [03:47] alt tabing to the program won't display it either [03:47] they aren't hanging or anything it just won't open it [03:48] hi all - I'm running 16.10 on a live (USB) drive - I'm getting miserable network speeds with miserable ping (1774 ms), 1.53 up, 0.14 up [03:48] any thoughts? [03:49] I just went through the ubuntu 16.10 installation, wiping my disk which had ubuntu 16.10 just upgrade from 16.04, but was having problems so I just reinstalled everything. I'm still having problems though- my mouse is flickering, every app is taking 2-20 seconds to respond to my input, and my now that ^ trueth mentions it, my connection is really c [03:49] rappy too [03:50] My displays are being wierd, when I adjust the position of my monitors in the system settings, it either makes a blue bar on the top of my screen or a black one on the bottom [03:51] Im connected to ethernet btw [03:51] So 2mb/s is completely unreasonable [03:53] PugaBear, yeah I'm not supper impressed lately [03:53] I had been running 16.10 for the last 6 or 7 months but had many issue [03:53] Just did a fresh install of 16.04.2 hoping to alleviate some of th em and it's almost made things worse [03:53] damn, that sucks, i really need mesa 12 === Killamanjaro is now known as fareast [03:54] Running kernel 4.10 works great :P === fareast is now known as FartBuster === FartBuster is now known as Comit [04:02] hi [04:02] is there a command for checking if the os running is indeed ubuntu? [04:03] lsb_release -a [04:03] uname -a [04:04] yeah actually i guess uname is just the kernel [04:04] cat /etc/issue works [04:05] he answered his own question [04:05] he just needed time to think about it i guess [04:05] hm, lsb_release -a looks a lot nicer than cat /etc/issue [04:05] tatertots, yes, brain fart [04:06] question. should "/dev/net/tun" exist? [04:07] i'm just trying to install openvpn using a script and it checks if /dev/net/tun exists [04:07] but in my instance, there's no /dev/net/tun [04:08] pokmo: " crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 Mar 19 11:58 /dev/net/tun " pretty default install of xubuntu 16.04. [04:08] mine doesn't even have /dev/net [04:08] 14.04 here [04:09] Hello. I have a U16.10 to HDMI TV problem. Only the root window and panels display on the TV connected by HDMI -- no app windows. I don't know what to do a bout it. Any thoughts? [04:15] I upgraded to kernel 4.10 and nothing has changed [04:15] Damn. Tried something and X crashed. [04:17] Weird. I now have two matching sets of four desktops. [04:18] Oh X. You still suck. [04:19] is anyone upgraded kernel 4.11? [04:25] Ah-hah! The answer, for the record, is 'Mirror Displays' in System Settings > Screen Display. [04:27] guys which kernel is better stable 4.10.4 or 4.11? [04:30] Would this be the appropriate place to ask a question about my install on a laptop? [04:30] I have an aws instance. How do I add user ec2-user so that it uses the same key pair as the default user root? [04:31] garcara: Sure, if it is 'buntu you are installing . [04:32] PugaBear: what were you expecting to change?...were you expecting to see fireworks in the sky [04:32] hat. [04:32] tubal: are you using the computer to chat right now? [04:33] tubal: ok nevermind...looks like you took care of it already [04:33] When I do xinput list I get 2 Touchpads listed [04:34] nvm, it looks like I can specify a user in the aws datapipeline setup. [04:35] It's a new Dell XPS and new install of 16.04. Mouse clicks (hard, taps are off) do not always register as well. [04:36] garcara: does the symptom(s) occur when booted to livecd/liveusb?...if you don't know....find out [04:36] tatertots: let me reboot and test that out. [04:36] tatertots, Well, I'm watching a movie now, but yes, all is well. tks [04:43] tatertots: It looks like I don't have the same issue in liveusb [04:44] but i probably had tap to click on.. [04:44] Please help me, my ubuntu is stuck in Emergency Mode!!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ [04:45] garcara: then you defeated the entire purpose of the test [04:45] garcara: but at the same time [04:45] tatertots: i didn't realize until I got back sorry.. [04:46] garcara: simply turn tap to click ON [04:46] true [04:46] ok [04:46] garcara: and leave tap to click on [04:47] tatertots: are you implying I should never turn it off? [04:49] garcara: according to your own testimony you didn't have the issue when booted to livecd/liveusb...with a delay in admitting you had tap to click on...you actually admit that with tap to click turned on..(on livecd/liveusb) you didn't have the issue [04:50] garcara: boot livecd/liveusb again....test with tap to click on and off...so you can acknowledge how it impacts how you use the mouse/touchpad...so you can make a connection [04:51] garcara: so far the evidence in your testimony suggests you should probably leave it turned on and don't mess with it again [04:51] garcara: unless you are prepared to accept the consequences of turning it off [04:52] Hi all [04:54] tatertots: ok thanks, I'll give it a try [04:55] can anyone help me [04:59] * tatertots helps uL4m0g [04:59] there.. [05:00] Please help me, my ubuntu is stuck in Emergency Mode!!!! http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ [05:01] uL4m0g: what did you do to or with the system PRIOR to having this issue? [05:02] uL4m0g: did this occur immediately after installation of the operating system? [05:02] uL4m0g: or did this occur more recently? [05:03] uL4m0g: reinstall [05:05] i have full disk encryption, so i typed in password for sda5, the OS usually loads in 5-10 seconds, but it was stuck for 5 minutes so i cut off the power and turned it back on, now it shows the GRUB loader where it hasnt before, i press enter, type in the password for sda5 to unlock, then the emergency message shows up [05:07] i follow the procedure in the emergency message, i typed in systemctl default but all it does is show me another similar emergency message [05:08] uL4m0g, maybe dm/lvm/fs is damaged? [05:09] uL4m0g, did you try to use liveCD to open your encrypted device? [05:10] no, how do i do that [05:11] uL4m0g, "cryptsetup open /dev/sdaX sdaX_crypt", replace X with the correct number [05:12] khfeng is that sda5? [05:13] that really depends on your setup [05:13] that's what i type in the password for when i reboot comp, it says type password to unlock sda5 [05:13] that's it [05:16] khfeng, it says Device sda5_crypt already exists. [05:17] sup [05:18] uL4m0g, hmm, output of `ls /dev/mapper`? [05:19] control sda5_crypt ubuntu--vg-root ubuntu--vg-swap-1 [05:24] khfeng, control sda5_crypt ubuntu--vg-root ubuntu--vg-swap-1 [05:25] uL4m0g, did you type the password to decrypt the device in livecd? [05:26] im not in livecd, i only boot in ssd [05:26] should i be in livecd? [05:27] uL4m0g: no difference [05:28] since you can use dm and lvm, I think problem may lies in the fs [05:30] khfeng, smrem, so how do i log in? how do i get out of this emergency mode? i just installed ubuntu 16.10 and been using for 2 days should i just reformat/reinstall? [05:30] login where? [05:31] on extend system? [05:31] sorry i don't read before [05:31] smrem, You are in emergency mode. After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs....http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ [05:32] uL4m0g: what kernel u have? [05:33] smrem, i dont know im using ubuntu 16.10 [05:33] uL4m0g: 00:03:34 : reinstall [05:36] uL4m0g: i can see what kernel u habe before put in recovery mode [05:36] *have [05:36] uname -a [05:37] blkadder: that don't work in he have only grub console [05:37] Oh [05:37] :) [05:37] That's what I get for jumping in halfway into a conversation. :-) [05:37] guys which version of linux kernel in best? [05:38] sumit: as far as you should be concerned ...it doesn't matter [05:38] uL4m0g: i can try change mode boot on bios and disable fast boot [05:38] *u can:P [05:39] sumit: work kernel the best:) [05:39] for me the best and safe is 4.x [05:39] tatertots, yeah i guess, could it be the ssd? should i use hdd for reinstall? it was fine for 2 days then when i typed password to unlock sda5 it was loading for a loooong time, i cut power off and restart and this happens [05:40] smrem, my bios doesn't have fast boot [05:40] actually i have to upgrade kernel so which kernel version i should upgarde stable 4.10.4 or new released 4.11? [05:41] Unless you need a shiny new feature, go w/stable. [05:41] sumit: best version is the one in the ubuntu repository [05:41] doing it manually isn't recommended nor supported in here [05:42] sumit: u have a highter then i:) [05:43] uL4m0g: u boot uefi? [05:44] smrem, legacy. i was having installing ubuntu 16.10 in uefi asking me to input a passphrase to disable "secure boot" at startup [05:44] i was having problem* [05:46] uL4m0g: when u boot, press esc [05:46] when u see your kernel [05:46] try add: nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 [05:47] to put this u must press ctrl+e -> i think [05:48] uL4m0g: evidently u have problem on driver, try noninstall and run on livecd or try Ubuntu LTS (Long Term Support), ex. 16.04/14.04 [05:49] uL4m0g: or try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_mode_setting#Disabling_modesetting [05:50] wow [05:50] It seems that my FN keys won't work on Xubuntu 16.04, but work fine in Ubuntu 16.04. What would cause this? [05:51] smrem, where do i add nomodeset i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=0 before or after setparams 'Ubuntu' [05:51] Cyberdrake: are you using the same kernel in both cases? Or 4.4. in one and 4.8 in the other? [05:51] uL4m0g: in grub loader [05:52] smrem i am in grub loader i pressed e and it brought me to screen where the _ tick is below s on setparams 'Ubuntu' [05:53] hi. both iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack --ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT and iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT gives me "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.". However, iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT succeeded. [05:54] 4.8 in both [05:54] alkisg, 4.8 in both [05:54] Cyberdrake: you're talking about the Fn keys of a laptop, right? [05:54] chx: check you chain iptables -L --line-numbers [05:55] On my desktop keyboard, a Cooler Master Storm. [05:55] Cyberdrake: Are you talking about F1, F2 etc, or a blue Fn key right next to Ctrl? [05:55] alkisg, it's a desktop keyboard. USB cable. It's weird, it works fine in Ubuntu with Spotify. No, it's an FN key, not F#. It's the FN right next to CTRL. [05:56] oh bother, i am on a VPS [05:56] Cyberdrake: `xev` is a program that displays keystrokes etc. Run it in a terminal, press some Fn+key combinations, and see what it produces [05:56] that's why :/ [05:56] sorry [05:57] alkisg, good idea [05:57] chx: hehe [05:58] uL4m0g: u must add this option after load initramfs [05:58] on the same line [05:59] alkisg, it picks up the key. Oddly, it seems like the FN + vol keys work system wide. There's a package or something, I'm betting, that is on Ubuntu but not Xubuntu. [05:59] alkisg, output of FN + Play/Pause [05:59] http://pastebin.com/aTuQZaWh [06:00] Cyberdrake: in ubuntu, unity-system-settings picks up the volume key, and processes it. In xubuntu, you need to find the equivelant that would process the volume key [06:00] *unity-settings-daemon, sorry [06:00] thats funny, I just downloaded an early version of 17 ubuntu and everything on this laptop worked out the box [06:00] alkisg, volume key works fine. It's FN + Play/Pause, FN + Skip, FN + Rewind that don't work. [06:00] first time I have ever had an OS work so good [06:00] Cyberdrake: it's the same thing [06:01] alkisg, gotchya. Hmm. I have an idea. [06:01] Cyberdrake: google for xubuntu pause key, to see which dialog is offered there [06:01] Cyberdrake: first google hit: http://askubuntu.com/questions/857359/windows-play-pause-keys-on-xubuntu-spotify [06:02] Cyberdrake: eh, no, ignore that, use that one instead: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1165266 [06:02] Launchpad bug 1165266 in xubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu) "missing keyboard shortcuts" [Medium,Fix released] [06:02] This would use native xubuntu facilities [06:02] alkisg, I found this: spotify-client-gnome-support , going to install and see if it makes a difference [06:04] alkisg, I don't think Xubuntu likes to play nice with Spotify and FN keys, so we'll see [06:07] t [06:13] smrem, i cant find initramfs http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213782/ [06:15] and u have lvm O_o? [06:18] uL4m0g: u boot with live bios? I ask becouse u have strange params:) [06:18] Is virtualbox-guest-x11 supposed to give better graphics performance on a vbox guest? It's not installable when the newest hardware enablement stack is installed, xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04... [06:19] smrem, live bios? what does that mean? im newb in linux [06:21] ok ok [06:21] try difference video driver [06:21] where u have load_video [06:21] change this to: insmod all_video [06:22] i dont work try put this after load_video [06:22] *if don't work [06:23] u can try to remove your x-mode, i dont know wht u are using gnome, unity, kde? [06:23] and then try boot [06:24] the default so i guess unity and gnome [06:24] if this not working try select on bios uefi with gpt and add on grub insmod part_gpt and set root=hd0,gpt2 [06:25] how do i save and get out of the edit grub screen [06:25] why u whant save this? [06:25] change and try boot:) [06:25] ok i cahnge to insmod all_video how do i reboot now [06:26] F10? [06:27] u have describe on bootom - now i dont remember ctrl + q? [06:27] Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory imported-Humanity/192 of theme Lubuntu has no size field [06:27] or F10:) [06:27] anyone can help me with an app on ubuntu for remote control something similar to jumpcloud.com [06:30] smrem, changing to uefi will not load the ssd at all, it says No Bootable Device with hdd and sight glass picture [06:31] sarem, this machine is pretty jack up, its Aspire E5-575-33BM [06:32] uL4m0g: just curious has anyone mentioned reinstalling over the last hour and a half that you've had this issue? [06:32] uL4m0g: oh nevermind.... [06:32] you did [06:32] :) [06:33] uL4m0g: uefu with gpt [06:33] uL4m0g: what's the problem? [06:33] uL4m0g: u check livecd boot correct and work or what u try? [06:34] smrem i dont think uefi is a good idea, the machine will not detect ssd if i change to uefi, so i change the bios to legacy [06:34] uL4m0g: what's the problem? [06:34] Eric^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ this shows up after i input the password to unlock sda5 [06:35] Eric^^ it stuck in emergency mode, wont load to OS [06:35] uL4m0g: u write u are put passphrase then kernel must recognize your ssd [06:35] and your partition [06:36] uL4m0g: fresh install? [06:36] smrem, this is too much problem i reinstall with hdd in 16.04 [06:36] yea [06:36] thanks anyways [06:37] uL4m0g: but i dont think is problem ssd [06:37] but if u dont have time better option reinstall:) [06:38] uL4m0g: in grub add "nomodeset" to the line that says linux /boot/vmlinuz.... quiet splash [06:38] uL4m0g: try anothre kernel [06:38] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207749 [06:41] EriC^^: U know is modeset=0 and nomodeset is the same? [06:41] yeah [06:42] novaue.modeset=0 and i915.modeset=0 is the same nomodeset ? [06:42] i think so [06:42] then i write him to check this and don't work:) [06:43] i think he have problem on graphic driver i write him try insmod all_video but steel dont work [06:44] smrem: that insmod is about grub, not about ubuntu [06:44] alkisg: how can u think that -_-' [06:44] smrem: i.e. the drivers that grub has to display its graphic menu, _before_ it loads the kernel. Ubuntu isn't affected by that [06:45] Eric^^ the nomode doesnt work, it just put me in lower resolution but still show same emergency message [06:45] alkisg: yes they did:) [06:45] in ORANGE color [06:45] uL4m0g: which graphics card do you have? [06:45] Eric^^ no graphics card, i have onboard intel graphics [06:45] uL4m0g: what was the initial issue, the emergency console or that it doesn't load graphics? [06:46] uL4m0g: ok, try i915.modeset=0 nomodeset [06:46] EriC^^: if it's falling to the emergency console, I don't think graphics drivers will help there... [06:46] alkisg: the error msg [06:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ [06:47] I'm not so sure if that's the initial problem or the result of the tries to fix it [06:47] i found on some sites that it was working, then the person started getting the error message [06:47] uL4m0g: so, if you try to boot the computer without doing anything to grub, you're still going to the emergency console? [06:47] alkisg: when u use gnome and difference driver u can show menu grub but dont load e.x. correct driver after [06:48] alkisg, it goes to Please enter password to unlock sda5, i have set it to full disk encryption, after i unlock sda5 i should load the OS asking me to type in the password then it'll bring me to ubuntu desktop [06:48] smrem: /boot/grub/i386-pc/video_cirrus.mod is the grub driver. /lib/modules/4.8.0-41-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/cirrus/cirrus.ko is the linux driver. One is for grub, the other for ubuntu. [06:49] uL4m0g: can you paste *that* message somewhere, or a picture? [06:49] WHY!!!? [06:49] uL4m0g: try press Ctrl + Alt + F1 after encryption maybe u see another error [06:49] WHY!!!? when i tell the installer I DO NOT WANT TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING during the install procedure... does it still DO JUST THAT! [06:49] ? [06:50] theUser2: it's updating the repos cache probably [06:50] No... its downloading everything it seems [06:50] alkisg what message, the emergency after i unlock sda5? its http://paste.ubuntu.com/24213406/ nothing works though if i follow what it says it just turn purple then back to that black screen with the emergency message [06:51] uL4m0g: I don't see a message for encryption there. There, it just asks you to press enter without a password. [06:51] That's the usual prompt to enter the recovery mode [06:52] uL4m0g: try i915.modeset=0 nomodeset [06:52] No! means NO! I did not consent! [06:52] Eric^^ same result as nomodeset [06:52] theUser2: the installer knows better! [06:52] theUser2: it'll be okay..just let it run it's course [06:52] now we clear:) [06:53] No its not ok when i told it not to do it [06:53] uL4m0g: at that point, press enter, then type `cat /proc/cmdline`, and then type the output here. I don't think you cat enter the emergency mode without manually asking it via the grub option. [06:54] Ubuntu is a rapist [06:54] theUser2: Please don't make such comparisons. [06:54] uL4m0g: nomodeset etc won't help you while you're using the recovery mode, which on purpose doesn't have graphics etc [06:54] Just stop using the recovery mode and try to boot normally [06:54] how [06:55] theUser2: just relax..it'll be finished in a few minutes [06:55] theUser2: How did you tell the installer not to grab anything from the internet? Is this a Desktop or server (debian installer) installation? [06:55] uL4m0g: start with what I said [06:55] (08:53:58 πμ) alkisg: uL4m0g: at that point, press enter, then type `cat /proc/cmdline`, and then type the output here. I don't think you cat enter the emergency mode without manually asking it via the grub option. [06:55] uL4m0g: this will tell us what you select in grub to enter the emergency mode. What you did wrong there. [06:56] It asked me if i wanted to install updates from the interweb... i told it NO! (by unchecking the checkbox) [06:56] theUser2: if you think that ubiquity, the installer, has a bug, you can file a bug report in launchpad for it [06:56] alkisg, BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.8.0-41-generic root=/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root ro quiet splash i915.modeset=0 nomodeset [06:57] uL4m0g: and if you don't put nomodeset there, does it still put you to emergency mode? [06:57] And it even picked a slow server so.... this will take hours if i don't restart the installer and install without network connected [06:57] alkisg, yes [06:58] uL4m0g: there should be a message why you get dropped to the emergency mode. Do you see such a message? [06:58] uL4m0g: emergency mode is *not* because of graphics issues [06:58] graphics issues come much later than the emergency mode [07:00] uL4m0g: boot live cd, mount your ssd and download /media/yourssd/var/log/syslog [07:00] [ 0.243026] platform MSFT0101:00: failed to claim resource 1 [07:00] [ 0.243099] acpi MSFT0101:00 platform device creation failed -16 [07:01] uL4m0g: i see this [07:01] u have bad block address [07:01] hey no worries ill just do a quick reinstall, much faster than finding out what's wrong [07:01] but steel u don't have all system log [07:02] you think its because my ssd is over 3 yrs old its starting to wear out? [07:02] its samsung 840 pro [07:02] It sounds like file system issues, so it's possible, yes [07:02] hello [07:03] 3 years - young ssd:D [07:03] I have some problem to get gui application from server to localhost using ssh - [07:03] x [07:03] somebody is able to help me?

[07:08] hey guys, how do I make an rsync and include everything except long directories like /usr and such? [07:09] smrem, after i set the ssd/hdd from msdos to gpt, how can i know i did it correctly, what do i tell the Terminal? [07:09] rsync --exclude [07:10] Hello! I'm on MATE 16 with Compiz. I'm trying to place two gnome-terminal windows on a monitor side-by-side automatically. I could set them to be Always visible on workspace. I can even set the x/y position correctly but I CANNOT set the widthxheight properly. Anyone have experience with this? [07:10] gnome-terminal has --geometry but it is inaccurate and buggy [07:10] --execute=/usr [07:10] Compiz cannot change gnome-termianl size because gnome-termianl overwrites it [07:10] terminal* [07:12] Amis: u whant put terminal on background? [07:13] *want [07:13] smrem, I want to place two terminal on my secondary monitor on a fixed position with fixed width and height, essentially covering my whole secondary monitor with two terminals. [07:14] install unity-tweak:P [07:14] I have a bunch on programs starting when the system start - each placed on a specific workspace on a specific position - creating a confortable working area for me but gnome-terminal does not obey the rules of compiz [07:15] smrem, I'm on Ubuntu MATE which uses GNOME [07:16] Amis: i use unity-tweak-tool in gnome on mate [07:17] smrem, you think it is capable of overwriting gnome-terminal's own resizing ability? [07:17] Amis: try mate-terminal [07:18] smrem, I used that before and switched back to gnome-terminal because of reasons [07:18] I would like to have a solution involving gnome-terminal on MATE [07:18] If that is even possible [07:18] u try user or root? [07:19] smrem, what do you mean? [07:19] when u try geometry terminal u use as user or su mode [07:20] I'm launching the terminal as user. I shouldn't have to start a terminal with root privileges just to have it's size set correctly [07:20] Amis: what's the command line you're using? [07:21] Amis: ok i understand but i ask if u try? [07:22] alkisg, I tried simply running 'gnome-terminal --role="some-custom-role-so-compiz-can-identify-my-window"' with Compiz settings about specific placement and size rules. Placement rules work. Size rules seem to have no effect. [07:22] Amis: try mate-terminal --geometry=20x20+200+200 [07:24] Amis: it is possible that gnome-terminal would ignore size rules and only respect the --geometry it its command line [07:24] smrem, although --geometry would do the job it is not the best solution as it is measured in characters and I cannot make it strech the whole screen height because it refuses to go out of screen. Also with --geometry placing two windows side by side there will be an annoying gap between them again because it is measured in characters rather than pixels [07:24] alkisg, yes, gnome-terminal only obeys --geometry and that is the problem [07:25] Amis: for example, mate-terminal can't be resized to pixel precision; it can only be resized on characters [07:25] Amis: you would see half a character otherwise [07:25] elo [07:25] Hi all [07:25] Please call me :D [07:25] XD [07:25] LOLLLLLL [07:26] alkisg, that is why I tried compiz as that because everything else obeys compiz's size rules but because gnome-terminal sets its own size it just ignores compiz [07:26] LINUX IN SCHOOL XD [07:26] Bye [07:26] Hi all [07:26] Amis: but u have --display or --full-screen or run terminal & and use --active option [07:26] Lubie placki [07:26] Amis: well, if it's a deliberate choice of the gnome-terminal programmers, there's little that compiz can do about it [07:27] Amis: you would have to file a bug report upstream to convince them that your use case is something useful for a wider audience [07:27] alkisg, that's why I asked here hoping someone might have some hacky but promising idea about this. [07:27] No, I think --geometry would be it... :) [07:28] One last lead: maybe... is it possible to run a script inside the terminal that would resize itself? [07:28] Amis: well, you could script a conversion of pixels to --geometry... [07:28] alkisg, I doubt geometry takes non-integer characters [07:28] Of course you won't be able to resize it to non-integer characters [07:28] Since the application code will refuse that [07:28] Yea [07:28] You can just resize it to the nearest character [07:29] You can rebuild from source if you're that desperate :D [07:29] alkisg, that might be overkill for something this simple :) [07:30] Well thanks anyway smrem & alkisg. I'll try the path of resizing AFTER that window was created. See if that yield any results. [07:30] Amis: try run with load config mode [07:30] Amis: can you resize it with your mouse? [07:30] alkisg, of course [07:30] smrem, what do you mean? [07:30] To pixel precision? [07:30] alkisg, yea [07:31] with --load-config [07:31] Amis: and then gnome-terminal displays only half of the last character? [07:32] generate geomtery window on config file (another profile) and run with this, maybe work this [07:32] Because with mate-terminal and marco, I can't do that [07:32] alkisg, it breaks to a new line when the character would be split leaving a thin area where characters are never drawn === Spontex is now known as Guest14077 [07:33] smrem, but then I would only be able to specify widht and height in chacters which is not really enough [07:34] heh then u have only have source compile:) [07:35] i'm sorry for the mistakes but i try not to sleep:P [07:36] Amis: i never have this problem becouse i dont halt system:) [07:37] smrem, if I could, I wouldn't either but there are times when something goes horribly wrong, the X crashes, run out of memory, etc... and it's inevitable [07:39] Amis: Yea, i know this feeling [07:39] little change on kernel or driver and ten stuff don't work [08:19] Hi, I am looking for any help regarding flaky dorms wifi. 90% of time my ubuntu 16.04 is stuck connecting to it. While my roommate with windows connects without any issues, just like my android phone. Wireless works on other networks without any issues. What can I do? It's very annoying because I need net for my studies [08:20] Suprtime, dual boot windows. or swap your wifi card for a more reliable chipset [08:21] Suprtime: what chipset is this? [08:21] * cfhowlett bets on atheros or realtek [08:21] Atheros [08:21] Suprtime: show us lsmod [08:22] Ath9k [08:23] I can show all of it, but it will take some time to take a pic and upload it with phone [08:23] Suprtime: assign a unique ip address to your computer from the router [08:24] it a commercial/business wireless network at a school...he has zero control over the wireless network [08:24] any channel for "bash on ubuntu on windows"? [08:24] consider searching for a replacement wifi card. pretty cheap on amazon. I suggest a broadcom card. [08:24] having network issues in that linux subsystem [08:24] I second the wifi card. you might get it working with a different wifi card that is better supported. [08:24] !uwin [08:25] !ubuwin [08:25] Canonical and Microsoft have announced that Windows 10 will be able to run Ubuntu programs without needing porting/recompilation. This functionality is still in beta and is not supported in #ubuntu. For discussion and support, see #ubuntu-on-windows. [08:25] asking him to change router settings on a school/business/commercial wireless network is illogical...unless he is the school IT department...and if he was...he wouldn't be in here asking [08:25] I will just dual boot, it's a shame since I really got used to linux [08:25] cfhowlett: didn't exist before I just joined [08:26] cbauer, ? you meant that channel? no worries [08:26] well, I am I to expect help from an empty channel [08:26] how* [08:26] can I* [08:27] can help you there, mate. I can tell you the channel, but can't populate it. [08:29] well, just wondering, if I need help for WSL and get referred to an empty channel, how is that supposed to help me in any way [08:30] you asked the channel. I gave you the channel. perhaps time for you to google other solution? [08:30] cbauer: it's not empty, i just checked and could join just fine [08:33] sry, it's my stupid irc client adding that trailing . to the channel name [08:33] (kvirc) [08:35] Hello. My Desktop doesn't boot up anymore. It stops at the "Kubuntu"-logo/writing. After booting into a root-shell via recovery mode i found out that my main hD has been booted in read-mode. I can remount it as read-write without problems, but I'm not sure if that helps anything. Is there a way to start the graphical login-screen from the root-shell? [08:36] stephanlap: did you do anything specific that resulted in the desktop not booting? E.g. updates, new drivers? [08:36] i have a quetion for ubuntu gnome 16.10 - firefox scrollbars are not default they are bigger/wider but the issue is they are also moved a bit away from the edge (maximised) which makes them hard to grab and easy to click on the white scroll space instead of the scrollbar [08:37] alkisg: I can't say really as I usually don't reboot the desktop for weeks. But it's highly likely that there were some system updates the last time I had it running. [08:37] stephanlap: when you see grub, press "e" in the normal boot entry, and remove "quiet splash" in order to boot normaly while seeing all the boot messages. Check for specific errors there. [08:37] !quiet [08:38] !splash [08:38] To change the Gnome splash screen, use gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor. [08:38] Nah, don't we have any factoids for instructions on how to remove quiet-splash? [08:38] alkisg: I'll try that, thanks. [08:39] hold Shift for grub menu press F6 and edit the boot param - remove quiet splash [08:42] alkisg: Okay... the system stopped with a kernel panic (I mean, it hangs during the boot-process). [08:43] stephanlap: if you correctly removed "quiet splash" and you didn't break something else there, then that's your issue. What error message does it say? Do you have a mobile phone to take a photo? [08:43] stephanlap, something weird is happening. throwing a kernel panic AND booting up as read only? [08:44] !precise [08:44] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is a currently-supported !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [08:44] alkisg: there's not much to see on the screen. some messages about "automremove_wake_function", "evict", "do_unlinkat" and some others. and then the Kernel panic "not syncing: Attempted to kill init!". A Kernel offeset given [08:45] cfhowlett: It seems so. [08:45] Precise is EOL on April. Does anyone know the specific date? [08:45] stephanlap: try to boot into recovery and select the "file system check" menu there [08:45] Problem is, I can't do anything at the moment, with the kernel panic. I can't switch to a virtual console. [08:46] you can make a precise system show the date if you are running a live precise system [08:46] tatertots: how? [08:47] tatertots: I'm asking for the specific date when precise will become EOL... Like, April 10th? 20th? [08:47] alkisg: I already tried that (didn't work). then I booted into the root-shell, remounted the HD as read-write and tried fschk, which returned immediately. [08:47] alkisg: i think i heard the 8th mentioned here, i'm not sure if that's correct though. [08:47] Without any errors, as it seemed. [08:47] alkisg: by typing "ubuntu-support-status" in termnal [08:47] alkisg: 27th april [08:47] alkisg: But I could try again, just to see what happens. [08:48] stephanlap, strongly suggest you backup your data ASAP [08:48] alkisg: its in a packaged called "update-manager-core" [08:48] tatertots: not much info there, Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until April 2017. [08:48] alkisg: should show the precise date.....no pun intended lol [08:48] k1l, ducasse, thank you very much [08:48] Haha [08:48] cfhowlett: I fear that may be needed, though I'm really not in the mood to set up the whole system anew. :-/ [08:49] data backup doesn't require setting up a new system ... [08:49] alkisg: oh well...you think they'd have made something official like that give an exact date... [08:49] cant ubuntu just be upgraded [08:49] cfhowlett: I know. what I meant is that there may be some bug I can't figure out and need to set up the whole system again. [08:49] tatertots: true [08:50] boot from a usb, navigate to your home and copy it to storage media. [08:50] !text-mode [08:50] markshutlewerk: there are online upgrades, yes [08:50] alkisg, cfhowlett I'm currently trying out fschk again. [08:50] ok but do you have to back up on every release O_O [08:50] stephanlap: you can also try to boot in text mode, without graphics: http://askubuntu.com/questions/870221/booting-into-text-mode-in-16-04/870226 [08:51] alkisg: I'll take a look at that when fschk is finished. [08:51] markshutlewerk: data without backup is not important data. [08:53] this is insane [08:55] alkisg:, cfhowlett Do you know how long fschk should need on a 250 GB SSD? I'm just wondering. The last meassage I see at the moment is "ok - reached target sound card". At least it seemed to find my SSD and acivated swap, but that's it for now. [08:55] markshutlewerk: what is insane? [08:55] stephanlap, sorry, IDK === Oer is now known as OerHeks [08:56] I'll wait a few more minutes to see if anything new appears. === hmz365 is now known as bbyc [08:58] stephanlap: you can also use the root console and run fsck manually *before* mounting the file system rw [08:58] how do i make on-screen keyboard toggle automatically on unity? i'm using a x86 tablet [08:59] alkisg: yeah, that is what I tried before as well. fschk returned immediately though, which is kind of weird. But I guess I'll try it once more. === DeadKaptain_ is now known as DeadKaptain [09:00] I've had problems with nVidia-drivers before, so I'm wondering if replacing it with an older one could help (if I have network-access at all, which I haven't tried yet). [09:01] Hi, I have a computer with Ubuntu 16.10 now and I would like to buy a new one that would support 3 monitor setup (i.e. I want to connect three physical displays to a desktop computer). I want this to program with ease: one monitor for IDE, second for a bunch of consoles and the third for a browser. How would you choose proper hardware for this? I mean I guess two graphics cards but which are best supported (drivers).. [09:03] alkisg: I guess I'll reboot. I didn't get any new messages from fschk for several minutes now. I'll try the text-mode for a change. [09:03] ok [09:03] gnome could save you some money desu [09:04] MartyIX: i've got that setup with an integrated intel gpu [09:05] even linus does his work with it [09:05] MartyIX: if you're not comfortable doing your own homework/research if you call a hardware vendor they will gladly consult with you about the matter...hardware vendor=dell,hp,acer etc [09:06] ducasse, Do you have three video outputs from your graphic card? [09:07] MartyIX: four, actually, but only three can be used at a time. i use dp, hdmi and dvi. [09:07] Hi, is it possible to automatically switch audio source when I unplug / plug headphones? I am using 16.10 and this is still not working -_-. I was researching this before and I thought that there is some bug with pulseaudio [09:07] how do i make on-screen keyboard toggle automatically on unity? i'm using a x86 tablet [09:08] tatertots, Well, that's one way of putting it. The other is that I had a displaylink thingy that I connected to USB3 and it supported the third monitor. The thing was that going from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 16.10 broke the driver somehow and CPU usage went to the sky. So call me lazy if you will but after this experience I'm somewhat sad that I have to deal with this things instead of doing something productive I'm paid for... [09:08] trudko explain more pls [09:09] ducasse, Could you post me what is your graphic card? (PM if you like) [09:09] alkisg: Silly problem, but do you know where the "=" is on an English keyboard-layout? (I'm usually using German). [09:09] stephanlap: two keys right of 0 [09:10] MartyIX: as i said, it's an integrated intel gpu. it's a hd4600 in an i7 4790k. [09:10] trudko: this should work. maybe the manufacturer dint follow the standards for the hardware. is this a known issue for your hardware? [09:10] alkisg: thanks. [09:10] np [09:10] Hi, I have a question I couldn't figure out via google so I hope you can help me I installed a custom repository using the instructions on this site: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/220066768-UniFi-How-to-Install-Update-via-APT-on-Debian-or-Ubuntu [09:10] And the "apt update" finishes without errors after that but if I try to install the unifi package from that repo I get a warning saying: WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated! [09:10] MartyIX: that sucks...i hope you gained something worth losing your displaylink for in your upgrade to 16.10 at least... [09:11] markshutlewerk: simply when I unplug headphones I expect speakers to work automatically and when I plug in it I expect speakers to be turned off, this doesn't happen I have to go to settings and click on which ever audio source I wan to use [09:11] ? [09:12] k1l: dunno, it works without problem on windows [09:12] one time i accidentally installed or removed ubuntu desktop and replaced it with lubuntu or something, and i got the ubuntu desktop back, but the shutdown screen still says lubuntu. Is there any way of getting the ubuntu shut down screen back? [09:12] ducasse, thank you! [09:12] trudko: maybe they ship a windows driver that makes it work again [09:13] alkisg, cfhowlett I tried booting with text-mode from recovery-mode and now the boot process hangs at "ok - started login service". I'm not sure if that is due to the HD possibly being in read-mode all over again. [09:13] if alsa this is auto-mute in alsamixer , idk pulseaudio [09:13] stephanlap, have you an extra ubuntu USB you can boot from? [09:13] pantato: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1540175 [09:13] stephanlap: try putting init=/bin/bash in the command line, removing quiet splash, and at the prompt you'll see, check if you can `touch /test` [09:15] k1l: maybe, I mean I got used to have always some problem with my linux distro so it's not that big of problem [09:15] cfhowlett: Not yet, no. I guess I could create one via the laptop I'm currently using here. [09:15] MartyIX: as long as your motherboard has enought outputs, most of the core i3/i5/i7 cpus you can get today can do this on ubuntu. [09:15] stephanlap, I think it might be time ... [09:15] cfhowlett: I feared that would be the case. As if I have nothing better to do... :-/ [09:16] pro-tip for ubuntu users: make a USB and keep it handy. mine is on a string around my neck. handy to have when out and about and I'm struck by an uncontrollable urge to ubuntu a foreign computer. [09:16] cfhowlett, alkisg: Btw, I juse tried booting into text-mode (*not* via recovery-mode this time). And the boot-process hangs ag "Loading initial ramdisk". [09:17] ducasse, Yes, that sounds good. It's great it's kind of "standard" because it's harder to break it from one linux version to another. [09:17] stephanlap: I've no idea what "booting with text-mode from recovery-mode" means: (11:13:13 πμ) stephanlap: alkisg, cfhowlett I tried booting with text-mode from recovery-mode and now the boot process hangs at "ok - started login service". I'm not sure if that is due to the HD possibly being in read-mode all over again. [09:18] stephanlap: did you try the init=/bin/bash that I said above? [09:18] alkisg: No, I was about to ask where I should do that. [09:18] !ask [09:18] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [09:18] stephanlap: in grub, press e, and replace quiet splash with init=/bin/bash [09:19] MartyIX: i've had zero problems with mine, it just works. [09:19] stephanlap: you should get a prompt; check if you can run `touch /test` there [09:22] alkisg: I just tried that and it still hangs at "loading initial ramdisk". I don't even get to a prompt this way. [09:22] stephanlap: can you load the recovery mode at this point? [09:23] stephanlap: if yes, try adding nomodeset, nothing else would explain why you'd get to recovery but not to bash [09:23] !nomodeset [09:23] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [09:23] alkisg: Yeah, recovery mode works (it gives me the options-screen where I can use the various options like cpkg, resume, clean etc.) [09:24] stephanlap: then you either do some mistake while replacing "quiet splash" with "init=/bin/bash", or it's an issue with nvidia, which is bypassed with nomodeset. Try replacing "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" now. [09:25] alkisg: I'll try "nomodeset" [09:28] alkisg: btw, my "linux ..." line (after using "e" on the boot-option ended with "ro quiet splash $vt_handoff" and I had changed it to "ro init=/bin/bash $vt_handoff". I'm no expert with that but I think that should be correct. [09:29] alkisg: but I'll try "nomodeset" now. [09:29] stephanlap: as long as you keep that in a single line, sounds fine [09:29] hi? [09:31] how do i make on-screen keyboard toggle automatically when i want to type on unity? i'm using a x86 tablet [09:31] alkisg: I treid inserting "nomodeset" and still the same result.

[09:32] lobo__, /msg alis list laravel to check, #freenode for more help [09:33] stephanlap: and if you go to the recovery option, and press "e", and remove the word "recovery", and press f10, does it still hang? [09:33] thanx buddy [09:37] hi, what's the location of the file wherein the LANG env variable is set in ubuntu 16.04 ? [09:37] isnt it in bashrc? [09:38] ~/.bashrc [09:38] DavidFromBE: it depends; in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/administrator, in /etc/default/locale etc [09:38] *where administrator => your user name [09:38] DavidFromBE: normally, you select the language from the control panel [09:39] no gui here [09:39] thanks alkisg [09:39] np [09:39] DavidFromBE: yeah i dont know if its the best way, but you can export LANG=XXX in bashrc [09:40] ponyrider: yes i can do this indeed, but i wanted to know where it is set globally [09:42] alkisg: I tried removing "recovery" from the "linux ..."-line and it seems to hang now again (kind of). The last regular messages where "ok - started network manager" and 2ok - started login ervice" After that something aout "bug: soft -lockup" and cpu#0 stuck for 22s" appeared. I could upload a screenshot somewhere if theat would help [09:43] stephanlap: your feedback is puzzling, I think the live usb idea would help a lot better now :) [09:43] It might even be related to hardware [09:44] sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales <-- what i ended up doing [09:44] alkisg: I'm sorry for it being confusing. I'm currently looking for a place to upload a screenshot. [09:45] imgur [09:47] ponyrider: Thanks, I keep forgettting that name. [09:47] alkisg: that's what I see at the moment: https://imgur.com/a/SlEMd [09:49] stephanlap: is that a hardware issue? [09:49] ponyrider: I have no clue.

Can I install libfoo-dev:i386 packages alongside the regular libfoo-dev and not expect my system to be broken? [09:54] Is there any way I can listen to a online radio that requires flash without using flash or maybe even a browser? [09:55] ponyrider: though I don't know if that is really the problem. It seems that my main HD gets mounted read-only and that (probably) shouldn't be a problem of the PSU, I guess. [09:55] PCatinean, install chromium and go for it [09:56] stephanlap: did you fsck and look at the smart stats? [10:02] stephanlap: you might have bad cpu, bad ram, bad disk, corrupted installation etc. The live usb now would help in pinpointing the issue. [10:04] alkisg: howso? [10:05] stephanlap: when you boot a corrupted installation, bad code runs, so you don't know what's causing various issues. When you boot from live usb, you're more certain to run clean code. [10:06] alkisg: Okay, I'll try to create a usb installation [10:06] stephanlap: for example, if you cannot boot from a live cd anymore, while you could previously, you'll know it's a hardware thing [10:09] k1l: I did fsck but haven't looked at the smart-stats (don't know how to look for that specifically).

MemTest is finding errors. quite a lot as it seems. Could that mean a failing ram-stick? (Sorry for the question, I haven't used memtest very often). [10:51] what version has 12.04 [10:51] stephanlap, yep, sounds like a ram fail [10:52] stephanlap: or cpu, or temperature etc etc. Not an Ubuntu issue anymore, now try #hardware :) [10:52] 12.04 Precise Pangolin 3.2 or newer [10:52] yep, 12.04 has 3.2 [10:52] Or 3.13 with lts-trusty [10:52] It depends on if it's 12.04, 12.04.1, 12.04.2 etc [10:52] It's 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 3.11 or 3.13 [10:53] 10.04 Lucid Lynx 2.6.32 [10:53] again [10:53] .1 .2 .3 .4 [10:54] alkisg: Thanks for now.

[11:32] well yeah, thats how they're 3rd party [11:32] not disabled, not present. [11:32] Ok, that might be, but ubuntu tries to verify the package and I would like to know why it fails [11:32] because the repo is bad [11:32] something like comparing some SHA of the package does not match description [11:32] nyloc, it's a problem on the package side. talk to the packager [11:32] nyloc: you need to add the apt key of that repository [11:32] it didn't complain about a missing key so that isn't it [11:33] alkisg: I added the key for repo [11:33] this is why we don't support 3rd party stuff [11:34] But I could rephrase this to how to manually authenticate a package in a ubuntu repository [11:34] why not just install from source? [11:35] or git, or.. .deb.. [11:35] ponyrider: If I only wanted to install the package I could say yes to: Install these packages without verification? [y/N] N [11:37] ponyrider: But that is not the point, I would like to understand the process of authenticating the package to I can see where it fails. I allready manually checked the Checksums provided in the package metadata which match the .deb file and I installed the repo GPG key so I would like to know what else apt/ubuntu does to authenticate the package [11:38] you just install the package. maybe manual verification is the correcct/only method [11:39] alkisg: just to give an update: It seems that there was indeed a problem with one of the ram sticks...

[12:41] csulok: if you feel adventurous you could try oibaf ppa for newer mesa, see if that is more stable for you [12:42] hateball: It is on 16.04 LTS now, but had the same issue with 16.10, but i got the advise to install an LTS version to solve it === mrz__ is now known as rizmi [12:42] there is a gen 7 intel out now?

[12:51] adityaduggal: why did you want to set up a user account with no password? isn't that what the guest account is for? [12:51] key=valuekey=value... [12:57] geirha, I think you are correct, I would try and let you know [12:58] geirha, the username without password is for office staff to use and save the docs on the computer, since we are a small office we use no password for these desktops [12:59] though I want to create a username for each employee but managing that on every computer with common password is not known to be and I cant seem to find a solution for that as well [13:00] alkisg Zen : sudo: netstat : command not found [13:02] Kaili: # apt install net-tools [13:03] geirha, I am still getting the problem of Failed to Start Session [13:03] Zen : There are too many lines [13:03] Which one are you interested in ? [13:03] Kaili: none, that installs the network tools which include netstat [13:04] So try the netstat command again [13:04] Yes, I ran netstat already, too many lines [13:04] All of them, use paste.ubuntu.com to share the output [13:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24215184/ [13:06] right, so the dns caching is doing by systemd-resolved [13:08] Which is odd, if you are using network manager.. [13:08] e [13:10] adityaduggal: why not have a password? they'll need a password for keyrings anyway ... and you can log them in automatically even though they do have a password [13:10] ThinkT510, the username without password is for office staff to use and save the docs on the computer, since we are a small office we use no password for these desktops in case of guest we wont be able to save anything at all [13:10] I guess I will reinstall, It's all messed up, probably because at some points I used proposed version of softwares for development en debugging :p [13:11] as for the current problem, I don't see why it fails. I'd go look for some log files for clues [13:11] geirha, now since I can't even login with my admin account I cannot set the password for that restricted account as well [13:11] adityaduggal: virtual console login still works though? ctrl+alt+f1 [13:12] yes I am logged into the system via ssh as well [13:12] so both virtual console and ssh are working [13:12] so you can do that from there [13:14] I have already changed the user password === DeadKaptain is now known as Evil_DK === crazy_v_k is now known as irthewinner [13:17] geirha, I am still getting the sasme failed to start session for standard account and no unity shown for the admin account [13:18] sure you haven't messed with any of the xsession files? also check lightdm logs and ~/.xsession-errors === irthewinner is now known as crazy_v_k [13:24] I typed the command"su",and it needs a code.What should I do?

It sends a few emails fine, and then I always get “cannot connect to smtp.**** port 25 connection timed out”. I am sending through a office 365 hybrid server [14:50] Hello! After sending my laptop for repairs (around christmas), they seem to have updated the BIOS. Now I broke some packages and I wanted to clean-reinstall ubuntu, but now the live USB hangs before anything loads. Could it be those UEFI craps? I don't remember which settings were there by default [14:51] Should I disable TPM 2.0 and UEFI boot? What do those even do? [14:52] hello guys [14:54] !UEFI | brunch875 [14:54] brunch875: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:55] yeah, I'm reading that right now... [14:55] I can choose an entry on the live USB but then it hangs [14:56] Is UEFI to blame? Note that I'm running ubuntu 16.10 right now [14:56] I just don't understand why liveUSB has stopped working for me. I can't reinstall ubutnu :/ [14:56] Ubuntu works fine with UEFI. It may or may not work with secure boot (it's supposed to, but I've had issues). TPM is irrelevant to the boot process unless your firmware's doing something extra fun. [14:57] brunch875, check the bios, disable Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT) too [14:58] OerHeks: I don't remember seeing that setting, but I'll note that [14:59] I'll just go on and disable TPM, see if it does anything. I'll see you in a sec [15:08] 8 months ago I used goldendict to run all my dictionaries.Is there something better than that now? [15:11] Anybody has any idea on this :) Im trying to get a game going that needs GLIBCXX_3.4.21, it is provided for ubuntu 14.04 lts in: ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test , I installed it and did a dist-upgrade, but still get an error: version GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not defined in file libstdc++.so.6 with link time reference [15:11] howdy [15:11] My touchpad stops working seconds after booting up. Any suggestions? [15:12] buy a new touchpad :) ? [15:12] I've got a cluster with N nodes, exactly 1 node has hostname weirdness, where hostname -A shows a wrong value. I know I can probably fix this with hostname -F, but I'd like to be able to explain why I see the current value, before I overwrite. values in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname follow the same pattern as all other nodes. is there something I can check on the dns that might explain it? [15:12] sorry just joking :) === CuCus is now known as V1P3R_LeUnG === JanC_ is now known as JanC [15:21] My touchpad stops working seconds after I log in. How do I fix this? [15:21] robertzaccour_, can you do a safemode boot ? and get to the command line ? [15:22] because if you can the you should be able to get to the log files in var/log [15:22] and possibly find the offending error in kern.log [15:23] Vuurdraak_: How do I do safe boot? And the pointer works fine in 16.04 and the daily build of 17.04. [15:23] I meant touchpad works fine in those 2. [15:23] im using a desktop and grub normaly gives the option to boot in to safe mode [15:23] on boot time [15:24] OerHeks: turns out disabling UEFI solved the issue [15:24] not sure hwo that works with a touchpad [15:24] what baffles me is my current ubuntu installation is on UEFI [15:25] brunch875, because that's how you installed iUbuntu , UEFI was enabled by default [15:26] BluesKaj: yes, and surprisingly enough 16.10 live usb (which is the same I'm running) doesn't boot anymore on UEFI [15:27] magic :D [15:27] * brunch875 has second thoughts about computer engineering [15:27] should've joined the school of computer wizardry instead [15:27] brunch875, well ,you must have set usb boot in legacy mode then [15:28] computer engineering is done on floor 9 3/4 you have to run through the wal ;) [15:28] BluesKaj: according to wiki, you can tell which mode it's booting on by how the menu displays [15:29] the menu does show in UEFI mode when running UEFI [15:29] but it cannot launch the graphical interface after the menu [15:29] it just gets stuck [15:30] there must be something really fishy going on this laptop's UEFI [15:30] brunch875, you can see modes in the uefi/bios [15:31] BluesKaj: I'm not sure I'm following [15:32] when I use the bind command w/ the —keys option…how do I know which keys are acceptable? [15:32] brunch875: dhit delete or f2 before you boot [15:33] You mean apart from toggling UEFI on / off on the BIOS and the live USB recognizing this mode, there should also be a setting in the BIOS which overrides UEFI mode on the USB itself? [15:33] brunch875: no [15:34] brunch875: its a dual boot iso isn't it? [15:34] ponyrider: no, I only ever used ubuntu on this [15:34] I'm pretty sure I installed it back in the day with with UEFI enabled [15:34] but the liveUSB doesn't load on UEFI anymore [15:35] lets assume its UEFI [15:35] and by that I mean it gets stuck after choosing "try ubuntu" in the menu [15:35] brunch875, is the usb stick first in the boot sequnec, if not then it won't boot [15:35] the liveUSB UEFI menu, that is [15:35] mmm.. how are you making the usb [15:36] with the ubuntu creator, as always [15:36] BluesKaj: it does boot from the USB [15:36] it's just that ubuntu@usb hangs after choosing the menu entry in UEFI mode [15:36] boot sequence in the uefi/bios [15:37] by menu entry I mean this one: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png [15:37] its not the boot sequence he says he gets in [15:37] Hey guys, how are you doing ?

It's breaking DNS on my laptop. [16:07] ponyrider, it works, not sure if its that or because i'm using it on different container (mkv) instead of (avi) [16:07] check journalctl [16:07] it works? [16:07] yes, i have the avi, going to check it on old command and new and see if its that [16:07] interested to know why === Evil_DK is now known as DeadKaptain [16:07] i think its because the -ss if FIRST otherwise ffmpeg interprets it as something else [16:08] no it was cutting it as i've said [16:08] is there an armhf version of ubuntu 16.04 lts server? [16:09] downloading the standard link gives me amd64 [16:09] ponyrider, yea weird, i did it on the avi with my old command and its frozen, ran it on the mkv and its fine [16:09] so not related to order, but something else i have no idea about :D [16:10] When used as an input option (before "-i"), seeks in this input [16:10] file to position. [16:10] kevr: for arm devices you can use a generic iso since there are no generic drivers like there are for the pc platform. [16:10] *cant [16:10] When used as an output option (before an output url), decodes but [16:10] discards input until the timestamps reach position. [16:11] k1l: that's chill [16:11] that would be frozen frames [16:11] however there is a xenial armhf repository that's completely working [16:11] so im assuming since there's an amd64 image available for rpi, there's an armhf somewhere [16:11] arm64* [16:12] sorry, i meant arm64 the whole time heh, not amd64 [16:12] ponyrider, let me run your command/format on it and see [16:12] kevr: ubuntu doesnt support the old hardware from the 1st pi [16:12] that's chill as well [16:12] ponyrider, yup works on the avi [16:12] i have an armv7 rpi 3 [16:13] im not sure what that actually means [16:13] weird how the other format works on the mkv though ? [16:13] well it works, so thanks :) [16:13] yeah i don't know. ffmpeg is pretty complicated [16:13] i have the hardware to support it, im looking for a standard armhf image to download [16:13] np [16:14] kevr: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RaspberryPi [16:15] kevr: Ubuntu MATE has an image for the rpi3 that I use. It's nice. Also, #ubuntu-arm [16:15] yeah, i got ubuntu MATE as well, i need a ton of different flavors [16:15] trying to also see what the vanilla ubuntu arm has to offer [16:16] kevr: MATE is the only arm image that I know of. [16:16] o_O [16:16] nicomachus: the link that k1l has a community driven armhf image; the official ubuntu webpage also has an arm64 download [16:17] only for 16.04 lts, but that's fine [16:17] that he posted* [16:18] Hello. when trying to update with apt-get update, I am getting the following error: W: GPG error: http://za.archive.ubuntu.com trusty Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 16126D3A3E5C1192 Ubuntu Extras Archive Automatic Signing Key . [16:18] kevr: you do understand that arm and pc are two totally different platforms? and as i said already there cant be ubuntu.iso for all arm devices like there are for the pcs since we dont have the generic open source drivers. so you need a special image just made for the rpi3 [16:18] Running the following command does not fix the problem: apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 16126D3A3E5C1192 [16:18] yes, i do [16:18] i completely understand that [16:19] ok. so ubuntu gives out a basic image, which you still need to adjust to your arm board in use and put the drivers there. [16:19] and yes, i know that, which is why im looking for an _armhf_ iso, which i found at the link you posted earlier, but it's a community image, so i was wondering if ubuntu had an official one [16:19] not iso, an image* [16:20] right. understandable. however there's only an arm64 iso, there is no default armhf iso [16:20] which is what i was inquiring about [16:20] because if i have an armhf strict device, arm64 won't load on a 32-bit system [16:21] as far as i know. [16:23] it wont [16:23] assume i have a program using mmap/munmap. is there a way, at runtime inside a library (within the same process), to enumerate the mmaps? [16:25] Are there any real people here? [16:26] ppf: subshell? [16:26] yes ^^ [16:26] ponyrider: i'm talking about processes and systemcalls === V1P3R_LeUnG is now known as CuCus [16:28] well, i dont know what your talking about, but i was thinking you would make your nmap function run in the background, pipe stdout to a file and enumerate over the file [16:28] ppf: what did you want to do exactly? [16:29] Mmap [16:29] ooo [16:29] i have a program that mmaps a file into it's address space. and i'd like to be notified whence it munmaps that file [16:30] do you have control over that programs code [16:30] ? [16:31] limited control. i'm a library, the program is my client [16:31] gotcha [16:32] ppf: i have noooo idea [16:32] i can read /proc/PID/maps, of course. but i'm looking for something more comfortable [16:32] ppf: why are yuo in #ubuntu? [16:33] to learn everything there is to know about making pizza [16:33] ppf: if you don't have control over what the program does, then its kind of tough to get a "clean" solution tbh [16:33] id say as a library if there's something dependent on needing to do that between the client and the library, write some type of event function you can fire off when you munmap [16:34] or provide a function that does both at once to obscure it [16:34] can yuo access another programs memory? [16:34] i was hoping for some sort of hook registration type thing, where the kernel'd call me back if an munmap happens [16:34] hmm, im not sure if there's any such facility [16:34] i mean, you can always select/poll [16:35] but like you said, that's kinda uncomfy [16:35] select what? [16:35] /proc/self/maps? [16:35] just for changes on the maps [16:36] seems hacky compared to just registering an event in the library though [16:36] yeah but what would i hook the event onto? [16:37] ppf: in bash? [16:37] ponyrider: in bash? [16:37] when something is done. i mean, there's a process where you mmap, do something, then munmap. perhaps you could write library functions that handles both mmap and munmap for you, then you can register a callback to fire when the client calls munmap from the lib [16:38] there's gotta be communication some way, i don't think there is a kernel hook for that specifically [16:38] though i could be wrong. [16:39] i mean it depends what you're doing right, if you don't have access to compiling the client then you're pretty much trying to hack logic into something you can't control, which will be messy regardless [16:39] but if you have access to compiling it, you can just write good code === `8core is now known as zenguy [16:41] ppf: what about gdb? === CuCus is now known as V1P3R_LeUnG [16:42] ponyrider: you're not making sense [16:43] hola soy de venezuela [16:44] kevr: replacing mmap seems logical. the problem with this is that it's too optimistic. I mustn't miss an mmap and shouldn't miss an unmap === V1P3R_LeUnG is now known as CuCus === CuCus is now known as V1P3R_LeUnG [16:45] !ve | luisveloz [16:45] que mas pavlos [16:46] luisveloz, the code for venezuela is .ve but the bot does not know ...

[16:49] thanks [16:49] Mo0O, sure, dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX whatever your device is [16:49] great [16:50] zykotick9: cp and dd don't do the same thing [16:50] ppf: actually, they do. [16:50] cp doesnt write boot sector [16:50] ponyrider: it does [16:50] Mo0O: throw in a bs=4M, or it will take ages [16:50] "sudo cp image.iso /dev/sdX" works just fine. [16:50] ok [16:51] cat foo.iso > /dev/sdX && sync ftw :p [16:51] al2o3-cr: NOT on ubuntu. sudo is broken with the > [16:52] is it? [16:52] zykotick9: why ubuntu specifically [16:52] ppf: 'caue ubuntu uses sudo by default. [16:52] only with ubuntu? the iso you mean? [16:52] zykotick9: with dd you can specify a blocksize [16:52] ppf: true, which can slow things down, over using cp/cat [16:53] if you choose the wrong one, sure :) [16:53] but that's more or less the only major difference [16:53] in fact, the only reason i use dd over cp is because i can ask it for progress [16:53] dd doesnt output progress [16:53] zykotick9: what do mean specifically by 'sudo by default' [16:54] ponyrider: it does if you send it a USR1 [16:54] ponyrider, you can pipe pv in between === Vuurdraak_InGame is now known as Vuurdraak [16:54] ppf: not sure what you are asking. ubuntu uses sudo instead of the root account by default.

Thanks [17:05] Hi All... [17:05] hi [17:05] Hi [17:05] I've a machine with UEFI BIOS... I'm trying to boot a linux distro on it using a PEN drive I've made with Rufus. [17:05] Jay__, can you echo $PYTHONPATH [17:05] Actually Screen Display is just giving me a ton of problems in general [17:05] i can’t re-arrange my monitors for the same reason [17:06] I've tryed 5 different distros with no success... If I use rufus to put Clonezilla on the same PEN, I can boot it... [17:06] the confirm page refuses to display [17:06] I'm lost here... anyone could point me to the right direction? [17:06] @pavlos I have no idea what you say means. How would I do it? [17:06] Oh you mean put that in the terminal? [17:06] mmanso: ubuntu works well with rufus and ubuntu. we cant tell you for other "linux" [17:06] do use rufus [17:07] *dont [17:07] Ubuntu is my ditro of choice [17:07] mmanso: try linux live usb creator [17:07] I've tryed others to check if the problem was the same [17:07] Jay__, seems that you have python3.5 but for some reason it cannot find it [17:07] EriC^^: [17:07] mmanso: try to disable fastboot and secureboot too [17:07] ponyrider: rufus works well with ubuntu isos. unetbootin is known for issues [17:07] EriC^^: what makes me mad is that clonezilla iso works directly... [17:07] mmanso: can you check the iso with md5sum? [17:07] mmanso: does the usb have a fat32 partition with an efi dir [17:07] ? [17:07] !md5sum | mmanso [17:07] mmanso: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [17:08] @pavlos j@j-Satellite-L300:~$ PYTHONPATH PYTHONPATH: command not found j@j-Satellite-L300:~$ [17:08] ubottu: after trying all the isos I've tryed, I don't beliave it's a md5 issue... [17:08] mmanso: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [17:08] @pavlos I installed Python 5 in an attempt to cure things but I think 3.5 is there [17:08] Jay__, "echo $PYTHONPATH" gave you command not found? [17:09] EriC^^: Rufus created the partition table on the PEN drive... I've tryed all the three options in there. [17:09] mmanso: can you install ubuntu okay? [17:09] 3.5 was bumped to 3.6 in some distros [17:09] Jay__: "python 5" is not a thing [17:09] Jay__, https://techglimpse.com/error-executing-python3-5-command-solution/ [17:09] @ pavlos oh I need to put the word "echo in?" [17:10] Jay__: and installing a new version of python when you don't know exactly what you're doing is a recipe for disaster [17:10] acheron-a: I can't make the machine to recognize the PEN as bootable... I can only do that when I install clonezilla on the PEN... with that, it works to book Clonezilla. Nothing more. [17:10] are this channels irc logs searchable? [17:10] Jay__, yes, this is a terminal command to echo (print) the value of an env variable [17:11] Jay__: printenv PYTHONPATH [17:12] Jay__, other commands, "which python" and "which python3.5" [17:12] mantise: UEFI in bios settings?

Can anyone help me find a solution?

I downloaded something earlier. How do I get to the right version? [17:17] Jay__: no space -- [17:17] Jay__: there's an extra space in there ... [17:18] Jay__: you don't want python to be anything other than python2.7 [17:18] Jay__: python3 is how you invoke python 3.x [17:18] could try symlinking to 3.5 just to test... [17:18] ponyrider: no. [17:18] @Ok so how do I uninstall and find the right python? I am so lost lol [17:18] ponyrider: that is awful advice [17:18] ok dont kill me [17:19] Jay__: what did you do to 'download something earlier'? [17:19] I thought that there were just some missing packages that would make the word processors work [17:19] yeah some pip2 module.. [17:19] I downloaded what I thought was python 5 [17:19] Jay__: that is not a thing, so what did you actually download? [17:19] Is there a command to unload whatever I did? [17:20] Jay__: don't be vague, be precise and exact with URLs, etc [17:20] I don't know! [17:20] Jay__: you don't know what you downloaded? [17:20] Jay__, did you use apt to install python? [17:20] Jay__: how do you download something and not know how you did it? [17:20] It was I thought, the latest Python...please be patient this is all a new world to me [17:20] yes I think so [17:21] ok, and you wanted python 3.5? [17:21] I had the problem before I installed anything ..yes 3.5 I think [17:21] Hello guys! [17:21] Are you here? [17:21] Do you see my messages? [17:21] Jay__: try reinstall libreoffice?

[17:23] Yes. [17:23] frozenrouter: meaning you need the complete information from them to actually fix it, probably [17:23] Port forwarding.

[17:32] @nacc very likely -- it was a command I used years ago on debian and I cannot remember the correct syntax; I willhave to play with it some more [17:33] seems we lost Jay__ [17:34] LordLupus: note, FTP is a port nightmare. you need more then just 21 forwarded! look into the passive/active ports for ftp. OR better yet, DON'T use FTP. ftpmustdie [17:34] LordLupus: you should change the port number for sure [17:34] sneex: tar can write directly to a remote, btw [17:34] Oh I know. [17:35] But I have to put the passive ports and the passive address? [17:35] sneex: `man tar` , search down to 'Device selection and switching' [17:35] Or something like that? [17:35] LordLupus, can you ping that ip? [17:35] LordLupus, since I have little knowledge of ftp, and there appears to be a high learning curve to proper configuration, may I suggest an alternative? [17:35] That's my IP. [17:35] @nacc - hmm, Ive only used sftp with a local transfer and so Im not sure how to get tar to 'ssh' for me [17:35] I can ping it.. [17:36] You are free to connect to my server. [17:36] ssh.. maybe too slow? [17:36] LordLupus: the passive ports are usually a range (one for each transfere is required i believe) and yes they all need to be forwarded to the same box. [17:36] I gave you the dates. [17:36] I know, a range. [17:36] But why I need the passive ports? [17:36] sneex: did you read the manpage? [17:36] * sneex looking now [17:36] Yes.. [17:36] do you need ftp specifically LordLupus, or just to be able to transfer files? [17:37] frozenrouter: suggest [17:37] quit [17:38] I just want to connect to my FTP Server through the external IP Address (109.103.151.25). Actually I can connect to it using the internal IP Address (192.168.100.118) [17:38] oh jesus!!

[17:39] LordLupus: i like frozenrouter's idea, but when you make a rsa key make its alot bit number otherwise transfers will be too slow [17:39] LordLupus: can you STOP posting your ip addresses! [17:40] Well, I can't configure it. I entered here cause of that. [17:40] If you'll configure it for me I'll bless you! [17:41] LordLupus: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/ftp-server.html [17:41] LordLupus: take a step back and thing. Do you know and trust everyone in this channel? If not, you should not blindly give out access to your machine. [17:41] s/thing/think [17:41] Okay, let me to take a look. [17:42] its comedy central on this channel [17:42] python 5.. ip address user/pass posting [17:42] It's just an Ubuntu Server in VirtualBox :). [17:42] Yes, I configured it using the server guide, but without results. [17:42] Hey, I'm doing a reinstall of my system after it got into a bit of a state and I wondering if there's a good way to check if software is suitable for my machine (running xenial). E.g., the slack desktop client says that it's suitable for "ubuntu", but is it okay to install or should I be worried about it installing the wrong version of dependencies? [17:42] LordLupus: step 1, don't use FTP [17:42] @nacc Im sorry, I almost have it -- the ssh works, and the local tar works but the data isn't showing on the remote - it justs pokes out on the terminal :( I'll figure it out -- Thanks for letting me know that 'tar' should be able to do this :) [17:43] hiro`: common software that provides a .deb package is normally fine to just install [17:44] frozenrouter: so I don't need to worry about it explicitly targeting my version? [17:44] hiro`: only install packages for xenial (16.04) [17:44] nacc: how do I check? [17:45] hiro`: presumably the vendor you are getting the package from will say [17:45] @nacc Im going to play with the syntax from http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/9892/create-a-local-compressed-tarball-from-remote-host-directory and see what rabbit hole that leads me :) lol Anyways you guys have funsies ;) [17:45] sneex: good luck [17:45] hiro`: I have had no problems with installing .deb packages on any systems, since it interacts with package management to ensure dependencies are met. If there is a 16.04 specific package/version, use that [17:46] nacc: for e.g., in the case of slack, I don't think it does. perhaps I'm missing something obvious, though: https://slack.com/downloads/instructions/ubuntu [17:46] It just says "ubuntu" [17:46] hiro`: you're right and maybe they are good at maintaining compatbility across all versions [17:47] hiro`: i have no idea, and for support you should ask slack [17:49] hiro`: I think that, based on my previous experience with .deb packages, any problems will probably be caught, and dependencies have usually been sorted by the software centre [17:50] frozenrouter: cool, I will take your advice and install [17:51] is there a good article for ubuntu that explains "here's what to do if you don't want your system to break"? [17:51] hiro`: don't use third-party applications is probably a reasonable start :) [17:52] hiro`: but no, i don't think any such thing exists [17:52] shame. it feels pretty mysterious at times! [17:52] Actually there's an easy way. If you've got the RAM: install a duplicate of your system in a VM, and set a snapshot point. [17:53] hiro`: I don't know of any articles, but making a backup is usually the simplest way to make sure that the system can be set to a working state. [17:53] Then, don't ever do stuff on the host, untill you've verified it doesn't break your VM. [17:53] ouroumov: ah yes, that's a good point [17:53] ouroumov: i interpreted their question slightly differently [17:53] Well, my solution is not exactly user friendly either [17:54] ouroumov: yeah :) [17:54] hiro`: You could set up a blank ubuntu vm and try installing the package to make sure that it does not break anything if a backup is not easy. [17:54] unfortunately, there's probably not enough time in the day to do that. [17:55] what about installing PPAs. Is this considered acceptable or the road to madness and pain? [17:55] hiro`: PPAs are not supported officially [17:55] so, the latter, in other words? [17:55] hiro`: If I remember right, I have set up LUbuntu VMs in as little as 15 minutes [17:56] hiro`: and have (generally) no security model, meaning the owner is under no obligation to fix issues === Huck_Fumble is now known as ThePortWhisperer [17:58] hiro`: In other words, if you consider the maintainer and package trustworthy, and are willing and able to look after the system yourself if needed, PPAs can be an option, otherwise try to avoid them. [17:58] hiro`: the underlying thing to consider is you're technically giving PPA owners root on your machine [17:59] hmm, pity [17:59] hiro`: how comfortable you are with that is up to you :) [17:59] I might try setting up something in docker to test-drive a few packages [18:00] * nacc would argue lxd would be faster than docker for testing, but also doesn't use docker at all [18:02] sneex, can you repost the command? [18:04] hey, is there some cli software for testing cat cables? I have a cable that is trying to achieve some kind of metamorphosis, but seems to still work [18:06] that was a cool nick [18:06] Buxtehude [18:09] @nacc A modified version of tar cvf - data/notes | rsh 10.198.150.45 -l remuser "cd /archives/archive2;tar xvf -;" -- but with ssh [18:09] * sneex anyways time to go eat so I'll see you guys later === evade_ is now known as evade [18:10] sneex, how about ... tar cpf - /some/important/data | ssh user@destination-machine "tar xpf - -C /some/directory/" [18:10] @pavlos -- when I get back and the command finishes I will but we are talking about a terabyte of data :P lol sorry [18:11] sneex, test with a few bytes first [18:17] * sneex me and testing = live and death :P [18:17] * sneex be back soon [18:21] sneex, consider -j flag for bzip2 compression [18:26] hi [18:27] concerning ubuntu landscape service: Will this also restart services that still use old libraries? [18:28] i have error logs in journalctl "Failed to start NVIDIA Persistence Daemon." [18:29] and in systemctl "nvidia-persistenced.service loaded failed failed NVIDIA Persistence Daemon" [18:31] anyone expirence same problems?

Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [18:48] no [18:48] were you from [18:48] ThomasAFaulkner: stop. that is not ontopic for this channel. [18:49] msg ubottu !register [18:49] im new to ubuntu [18:49] ThomasAFaulkner, this not general chatroom, if you have an Ubuntu question then just ask [18:50] How do you use Exe files in ubuntu [18:50] ThomasAFaulkner: you don't generally. Those are windows executables. [18:50] !wine | ThomasAFaulkner: but wine can emulate windows, if you absolutely must [18:50] ThomasAFaulkner: but wine can emulate windows, if you absolutely must: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:50] what is the linux equivilent [18:51] ThomasAFaulkner: any program can be considered an executable [18:51] ThomasAFaulkner: can you be more specific? [18:51] ???? [18:51] ThomasAFaulkner, depends on the app [18:51] Errrr Team viewer [18:51] ThomasAFaulkner: ubuntu does not run exe files, instead you execute binary files, or install .deb files. If you want to run exe files, software emulators such as wine can be used. [18:51] okay [18:51] not a clue there pal [18:52] ThomasAFaulkner: teamviewer provide a .deb it looks like: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/linux/ [18:52] ThomasAFaulkner: but you would need to ask them for support, it's not part of ubuntu [18:52] okay [18:53] err what about getting stuff like python 3.6.0 [18:53] !latest | ThomasAFaulkner [18:53] ThomasAFaulkner: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa.

In component universe, is optional. Version 3.6.0~b2-1 (yakkety), package size 185 kB, installed size 314 kB [18:54] ThomasAFaulkner: python3.6 is only available in 16.10 and 17.04, which version of ubuntu are you on? [18:54] how to get [18:54] look above [18:54] 16.04.2 [18:55] ThomasAFaulkner: no official python3.6 in 16.04 [18:55] ThomasAFaulkner: why do you need 3.6? [18:55] On ubuntu, you can use the (software)package management tool "apt", which is set up to access a reasonably up-to date selection of software on newer versions. [18:55] i need it for my computer science course [18:55] how i do that [18:55] ThomasAFaulkner: your course depends on a version that only released 3 months ago? === himcesjf is now known as Guest25995 [18:56] I repeat https://www.teamviewer.com/en/help/427-how-do-i-install-teamviewer-on-my-ubuntu-system ThomasAFaulkner [18:56] no it's been changed by ocr they now made it dependent on 3.6 [18:56] ThomasAFaulkner: In most cases, when using python 3, any version above 3.2 is compatible with most things even more advanced ubuntu users will be wanting to do with it.

[19:22] LordLupus: what are you doing when you get that? [19:22] FTP Server [19:22] LordLupus: ok, look in the ftp server logs [19:22] I forwarded the port 21, and the port 22, and the range 13000-13100 [19:22] adityaduggal: do not run inxi as root and do it verbatim as i did in my instruction...this means you will use the exact verbatim options [19:23] I can connect through the internal IP :(.

[19:25] OerHeks: 'public ip' in this case, i believe [19:25] I can connect through the port 22. [19:25] LordLupus: definitely don't use FTP if you're opening it to the internet [19:25] OpenSSH. [19:25] LordLupus: why do you want FTP? [19:25] :P. [19:25] To upload bots on my IRC Channel. [19:26] :). [19:26] use SFTP for that? [19:26] I can't. [19:26] why? [19:26] LordLupus: why not?

[19:27] so ssh keys then? [19:27] SSH works. [19:27] LordLupus: ssh/sftp don't require passwords [19:27] tatertots, here is the xrandr output http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216954/ [19:27] Really?

[19:28] LordLupus: well that's completely missing the point... [19:29] LordLupus: FTP is a VERY old protocol and does some really odd things network-wise that makes it a pain in the age of NAT and firewalls. SFTP or HTTP would be FAR simpler and will do what you want. If you just need a place to pull things from, go with HTTP. If you need to upload stuff too, sftp [19:29] ftp://192.168.100.119 - It works, ftp://109.103.151.25 - It ...

[19:34] But who will help me with my problem? [19:34] people have been trying [19:34] you need to listen [19:34] I read all messages. [19:35] LordLupus, portscan says tcp://109.103.151.25:21 is opened (service:ftp) tcp://109.103.151.25:22 is opened (service:ssh) so try again, with :21 specified [19:35] free service, limited. [19:35] https://support.nightlydev.org/tcp-udp-port-scan [19:35] tatertots, I just checked by booting into a live CD and found that the resolution was 1024x768 in the live CD as well [19:36] LordLupus, http://askubuntu.com/questions/46930/how-can-i-set-up-password-less-ssh-login [19:36] Okay, I'll try ftp://109.103.151.25:21 [19:36] adityaduggal: then you are at the limitation of what your configuration can do...unfortunate i know.. [19:36] adityaduggal: one sec let me check my gists [19:36] tatertots, what could be the reason for this problem? surely the video card and the monito are capable of giving a higher resolution [19:36] Ok. :( [19:37] adityaduggal: what is the output of xrandr [19:37] adityaduggal: `xrandr --newmode 1360x768_60.00 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync` [19:37] tatertots: adityaduggal: you can take a look in the logs and see if the card reports higher via EDID and then add them, as al2o3-cr says [19:37] Ben64: adityaduggal 's xrandr http://paste.ubuntu.com/24216954/ [19:37] although it would be good to debug why X doesn't like using them if they are defined [19:38] well it seems to indicate a maximum of 1024x768 [19:38] Ben64: yep it sure does doesn't it [19:38] adityaduggal: `xrandr --newmode 1360x768_60.00 84.75 1360 1432 1568 1776 768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync` type this in terminal [19:39] adityaduggal: you can try what al2o3-cr is suggesting with that command....don't be shocked if it results in error [19:39] I hope I'll be able to connect to my FTP server through the external IP Address. [19:39] adityaduggal: actually please do try it...and if it results in error please do say so [19:40] al2o3-cr, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24217007/ [19:40] LordLupus: you really need to stop using ftp [19:40] adityaduggal: now this `xrandr --addmode VGA1 1360x768_60.00` [19:41] No. I want to use it. [19:41] this did change the resolution [19:41] adityaduggal: lastly `xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1360x768_60.00` [19:41] LordLupus: well don't. it's bad [19:41] But the official guide is a ... [19:41] :(. [19:41] al2o3-cr, nothing happened [19:41] @echo off [19:41] with the last command [19:41] LordLupus: so far the only reason you've said you want to use ftp is because you don't want passwords [19:41] echo Goodbye 220V or 20m :). [19:42] can you change your resolution now? [19:42] LordLupus: and someone provided an exact description of how to use passwordless ssh [19:42] ^ adityaduggal [19:42] Really? [19:42] and ssh is superior in every way [19:42] I know. [19:42] you don't seem to [19:42] But I really need FTP. [19:42] LordLupus: yes, and you ignored them, because you insist on using ftp without reason [19:42] nobody needs ftp [19:42] Because ftp://ip, no ssh:// or sftp:// [19:42] al2o3-cr, can I also add another resolution directly in VGA1 mode [19:42] I need it ;). I'm sure about that. [19:42] LordLupus: that's not even a sentence. [19:42] adityaduggal: sure [19:43] So, I'm an idiot? [19:43] al2o3-cr, would it last after reboot [19:43] Or something like that? [19:43] LordLupus: at this point, I think you're trolling the channel. [19:43] LordLupus: stubborn and refusing to listen to good advice [19:43] I tried. [19:43] adityaduggal: try it and see :P [19:43] you really didn't [19:43] I did it -_-. [19:44] I entered on this channel for support. [19:44] If you want, kick me! [19:45] al2o3-cr, I am getting this: xrandr: cannot find mode "1440x900_60.00" [19:46] and it seems that 1360x768 is not the best resolution for my screen I think it used to be either 1440 one or 1920 one [19:46] adityaduggal: did you get 1360x768? [19:47] al2o3-cr, Yes I am currently on that resolution though its better than 1024x768 but it still does not seem right [19:47] adityaduggal: what monitor is it [19:47] adityaduggal: try 1920 then [19:47] LordLupus: FTP is something you want to use, which is perfectly valid however recommended against. The server guide should be able to get you there. In this channel, you'll find people may be hesitant to help with any FTP issue [19:48] because ftp is older than most of the people here, totally not secure, and just a pain in the rear [19:48] al2o3-cr, https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-syncmaster-943nw-lcd-monitor-19-series/specs/ [19:48] Ok, I have to ask then? [19:49] adityaduggal: 1440x900 [19:49] LordLupus, Let's rephrase the question. What is your objection to using passwordless sftp with private key access? It is 1000 times more secure and actually easier to use. [19:49] Munger: my guess is he wants anonymous login [19:49] al2o3-cr, I think I would need to create a new-mode before I could add that mode [19:49] yep [19:50] Yes, I know, but I can upload bots on my IRC Channel only through a FTP Server (Public FTP Server) without login. [19:50] so should I just run the new mode command again with the 1920 or other values for hsync and vsync change [19:50] LordLupus: *using the perl script you have [19:50] Yes. [19:50] adityaduggal: no, let me create on from the spec for you [19:51] *one [19:51] LordLupus: what stops anyone else in the world from uploading crap to your ftp then? [19:51] LordLupus: let's not leave out any details ok ;) [19:51] And the perl script - ... $server = "ftp://ip/bot.php" ... $channel = "#Arena" ... [19:51] seems like a great way to get hacked [19:51] And bot.php - ... $server = "109.103.151.25" [19:51] $channel is in bot.php, sorry. [19:51] Ben64: people on the internet wouldn't do that. We're all trustworthy ;) [19:52] LordLupus: find a better way. seriously. [19:52] LordLupus: I don't think ... is valid perl [19:52] adityaduggal: xrandr --newmode "1440x900_75.00" 136.49 1440 1536 1688 1936 900 901 904 940 -HSync +Vsync [19:53] It's a big perl code. [19:53] LordLupus: just to upload something? [19:53] Bots. [19:53] To my IRC Channel. [19:53] On Server. [19:53] is that a yes? [19:53] LordLupus: that's what pastebin is for [19:53] Wow! That ftp server really is wide open. Damned if I would use it [19:53] LordLupus: it uploads something somewhere, correct? [19:54] On my IRC Channel - Users 9bots) [19:54] (bots)* [19:54] IS THAT A YES [19:54] Yes. [19:54] jesus [19:54] Something like that. [19:54] it's not like there's any super sensitive data in there...consumers rarely have data worth anything to any supposed hacker [19:54] do it with ssh and one line of bash [19:54] LordLupus: omg, yes we get it. Bots, irc, server. YOu don't need to keep repeating that [19:54] you're doing it the absolute dumbest way possible [19:54] stop it now [19:55] use a reasonable method [19:55] there's a reason there is a huge amount of pushback on your intended way. it's BAD. [19:55] I can't with sftp. [19:55] tatertots: i'd be more inclined to think it would become a warez dump [19:55] why not [19:55] Ben64: because the script he has doesn't support it [19:55] scp is really quite easy [19:55] thats why make a new script [19:55] Ben64: script kiddies don't write their own scripts [19:56] ... [19:56] al2o3-cr, added the 1440x900 mode but did not change my resolution to that.... [19:56] I do not know perl!!! [19:56] it doesn't need to be perl!!!!! [19:56] Then use bash [19:56] I know just HTML, CSS, VB.NET and some PHP. [19:56] adityaduggal: xrandr --addmode VGA1 1440x900_75.00` [19:56] I know. [19:56] But I don't know other methods. [19:56] so ask [19:57] instead of trying to push through your terrible way [19:57] There is an sftp server on that IP too [19:57] I know. [19:57] LordLupus: Ok, so when you use this perl script to upload a bot. What exactly ends up on the FTP server, a file of some sort? [19:57] It's mine :). [19:57] so use it [19:57] adityaduggal, you have to add the mode, then change it in the preferences ... that just adds the option not change the resolution [19:57] Ok, let me to show you: [19:58] ok [19:58] So put you public key on there and change the single line in the script to use it. [19:58] perl x.pl >> ftp://...bot.php/ >> bot.php >> IRC Channel >> Bots [19:58] adityaduggal: xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900_75.00` [19:58] follow these steps to a winner [19:58] maybe i'm dumb, but that means nothing to me [19:58] weird permissions issue; pls help; NFS share mounted, ownership set to my username and permissions -R 777; I do have permission to delete root but not sub-folder, however have permissions to delete 2 levels deep iow subfolder of subfolder.. [19:59] just use arandr [19:59] madmouser1, a sticky bit will prevent folder removal ( I think ? Let me check that ) [19:59] command line ftw [19:59] al2o3-cr, thanks this is finally done after about 5months of on and off searching [19:59] adityaduggal: ;) [20:00] al2o3-cr, just wanted to know why does it happen only with ubuntu since its too frusturating for new users who are not as persistent as me [20:00] madmouser1, yeah use lsattr on that folder, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/206594/why-cant-i-delete-this-file-as-root [20:00] al2o3-cr, I am presuming that these settings would not just vanish on reboot or any update [20:00] adityaduggal: it doesn't. it happens in arch and few others too [20:01] OerHeks, it turns out ubuntu liveUSB wouldn't boot on that specific USB3.0 when using UEFI. Using a 3.0 external hard drive did the trick :| [20:01] technology never ceases to amaze me [20:01] al2o3-cr, with me its happened on ubuntu 16.04, seemed very strange [20:01] charlie_sanders: many thanks [20:01] adityaduggal: to configure a mode gtf 1440 900 75.00 or whatever [20:02] gtf?

[21:22] yes [21:23] CarlFK: and $clone is a filename, $dev is device node? [21:23] joedenver: more importantly, it doesn't even bother with unused blocks. [21:23] yes - clone=u-minc2-20160815-4ans; dev=sdd === Hinsbart_ is now known as Hinsbart [21:23] CarlFK: what's the package name I need to install? [21:24] you will need to mkdir /home/partimag (odd requirement, bot meh) [21:24] sudo apt install clonezilla [21:24] CarlFK: I'm looking for possibly highest compression [21:24] CarlFK: do I still use your 1st line? [21:26] Hola :v [21:26] sudo /usr/sbin/ocs-sr -h says: -z5, --xz-compress Compress using xz when saving: slow but smallest image file, faster decompression than bzip2. [21:27] CarlFK: it claims that 'input device does not exist' [21:27] joedenver: what command? [21:27] Hello. I want to configure tap openvpn at my server so after connection to that VPN the client will connect to my home network transparently. I tried to configure bridge but when I put it up, my server drops out of the network. [21:27] How to fix that? [21:28] Do you have experience with configuring openvpn tap?

[21:30] CarlFK: I know that rufus can decompress on the fly [21:30] CarlFK: just not sure, whether it will like clonezilla format [21:31] joedenver: yay! you can also run clonezilla (sudo maybe) and get a menu gui thing that asks lots of questions. then it both does it and gives you the command line params [21:31] sadly no, it creates a bunch of files in a dir: usb-cz [21:31] CarlFK: so it's only good for clonezilla? [21:32] CarlFK: if I want to put it on new USB stick [21:32] right - you need the 2nd command to go from fiiles back to usb stick === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [21:33] CarlFK: that won't work for me I think as I need to hand it out to windows users, so they can recreate the stick on their windows boxes [21:34] CarlFK: and they would most likely use rufus, or unetbootin, or somethine similar === Keitaro1 is now known as Keitaro === Menzador is now known as SonikkuAmerica === SonikkuAmerica is now known as Menzadir === Menzadir is now known as Menzador [21:41] joedenver: windows 10, install bash for win ;) there is something about making a bootable restore, never tried it: http://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=clonezilla-live/doc/04_Create_Recovery_Clonezilla/00-boot-clonezilla-live-cd.doc === Menzador is now known as dons === dons is now known as Menzador === aName_ is now known as aName === iczero is now known as wlp1s1 [21:45] CarlFK: wouldn't clonezilla ever create iso file?

ACPIDUMP does not return 'msdm' which I read is where it could be stored.Im not running dual boot(just lubuntu 16.04 on here) but it was a preinstalled Winodws 7 system [21:48] CarlFK: clonezilla took that 16GB stick and made it /home/partimg/usb-cz of size 2.2GB [21:48] CarlFK: that's pretty good === scottschecter_ is now known as scottschecter [21:48] CarlFK: however, I cannot pass it over to my windows friends :\ [21:50] I mean, is it common to have the product key in the BIOS? Is it possible my BIOS does not contain it? I was under the impression all preinstalled Windows machine would have the key oem key embedded [21:50] joedenver: there is a mail list. If you can wait a few days, post about what you are doing, someone may have a solution [21:51] foozb12: i guess you better ask the ##windows guys about the product key handling of that closed source OS. afaik there is no plaintext product key anymore === c_smith_ is now known as c_smith [21:51] there are plain text product keys, unless your key is from the free upgrade [21:51] CarlFK: ok, is there clonezilla irc?

[21:53] joedenver: /j #clonezilla [21:53] k1l, that's my next stop. But according to google esearching, a windows 7 keys will be embedded [21:53] CarlFK: alright, thanks! [21:53] foozb12: oh, missed that part === mynick is now known as Guest39818 [21:53] al2o3-cr, no worries === Guest39818 is now known as aaooki [21:54] Appears that -should- be the answer lol [21:55] meh... there must be some location, all I can find is wiki articles detailing how to customize the live image [21:58] So it turns out I'm logged in on my real username on some other computer, so I can't talk in #archlinux. I'll ask here hahaha [21:59] Has xrandr changed its options recently? I just got "cannot find mode 1920x1080" from my usual command. [21:59] lord-arhemadan: on ubuntu?

Right now computers fan going crazy :p [22:17] computer fans* [22:19] arooni: you would need to use a PPA [22:19] arooni: the major version in 14.04 won't ever change [22:19] looks lik esudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php addresses it [22:19] rather https://lornajane.net/posts/2016/php-7-0-and-5-6-on-ubuntu [22:19] arooni: have you tried sudo apt upgrade php [22:19] arooni: yes, that is the PPA to use [22:20] whats the terminal command to use dd to find something at an address with an ending offset? [22:20] w9qbj: that won't do what was requested (php 5.6 is not packaged in 14.04) [22:20] oh really? so i am forced to upgrade to 7.0 ? [22:20] Hi.

[22:21] arooni: not officially, no [22:21] arooni: you would have to use ondrej's ppa, as you saw [22:21] can you just copy private keys to a new computer? [22:21] nacc: and you're saying that does or does not contain a 5.6 package for ubuntu 14.04 ? [22:22] ash_workz: yes. [22:22] arooni: i have no idea, it's a ppa (!ubuntu) [22:22] hi folks [22:22] why i cant see any input commands in putty [22:23] as in http://imgur.com/a/PlC9j [22:23] kichawa: what are you connecting to? [22:24] i connect to 3g modem via ttyUSB0 [22:24] you're going to want to make sure that you've got the serial settings right per your modem's documentation [22:25] kichawa: with regard to flow control, stop bits, etc [22:25] Kaili: ah i see you're one of those people....well...good luck [22:25] wedgie: it's ordinary 3g modem [22:26] i dont think so there is any documentations :< [22:27] I've fixed the Plymouth screen freezing by installing nvidia drivers, but now my login scree is frozen/not accepting input.

[22:29] Anyway installing proprietary driver kinda failed it seems, I fallback to nouveau [22:31] I'm on ubuntu 16.10 and I'm trying to configure large page support per some instructions I'm following, but every time I put the details in my /etc/security/limits.conf file and reboot my system won't boot up to the greeter screen. Anyone here ever experience something like this? [22:33] Does anyone know to decode the stuff in 'dmicedeoc' ? like the 'oem specific type' parts === leung is now known as CuCus [22:34] Is anyone here familiar with vsftp? [22:36] I've added kernel 4.10 manually [22:36] how do I add it via a ppa so that it gets security updates? [22:36] adymitruk: you cant [22:37] k1l: ok. what should I do to keep up to date without recompiling it myself each time? [22:37] adymitruk: that is the idea behind mainline kernels. they are for testing, not for gerneral usage. [22:37] adymitruk: what ubuntu do you use there? [22:38] I'm using gnome on one system, on this one i'm on kde neon [22:38] i meant the ubuntu release. [22:38] Kaili: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us ; What driver did you install and how did you install the nVidia driver ? [22:39] 16.04.3 will ship the 4.10 backports kernel, that will be used in 17.04. so that are your chances to use the official ubuntu 4.10 kernel with getting updates [22:40] i’m updating an old server with the usual apt-get update/upgrade and for some reason its trying to install multiple (5+) kernels and assiciated files [22:41] is there a reason why it would install so many? [22:41] Bashing-om: first disabling secureboot to load proprietary driver, will be back [22:41] i’ve only got 100mb boot partition and its filling it [22:41] andywww: define 'old server' and pastebin the command and output [22:43] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/806ff8020fb5446344326d18174d58be [22:43] its a xenial install [22:44] i’m curious as to why it is trying to install so many kernels [22:44] andywww: i don't believe a single apt command should have installed all those kernels, esp. given that several are no longer current. What was the exact command (and note what you pasted was just the tail of the log, it's hard to help without seeing the whole thing) [22:44] andywww: usually it should only install the latest ones [22:44] How to debug CUPS "Filter failed" error? [22:44] andywww: and a 100MB /boot is going to always be a PITA [22:45] apologies for the language, forgot the channel! [22:45] andywww: it will always be a pain [22:45] How to debug CUPS "Filter failed" error if test page via CUPS web interface works [22:45] andywww: i think its comming from trying to install/update the kernel each time and piling up packages that still needs to be installed === marcus__ is now known as Zombine [22:46] slavanap: i've fought with "Filter failed" before (with a brother printer), it was due to incorrect driver/ppd. good luck. [22:46] andywww: you can try to remove th unwanted kernels with "sudo dpkg -r packagename1 packagename2" [22:47] i can’t paste the entire update output its huge but basically you can see from the timestamps what it has installed [22:47] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e688baa9dccfa105395edf53c13e10e0 [22:47] zykotick9, I tried many different PPDs for my Epson LX1050+, now I'm able to print good Test page via CUPS web interface, but when I print any .pdf file with `lp -d Espon_LX1050p *.pdf` I get "Filter failed" error in CUPS web UI [22:48] andywww: if i had to guess, your apt was already messed up and it's now messed up furhter due to /boot being full [22:48] it is now, yeah [22:48] slavanap: sorry, i have no suggestions... good luck! [22:48] zykotick9, how can I run printing with CUPS in one explicit process so I can `strace` it? [22:48] andywww: and again, it's impossible to actually konw the root cause without seeing the beginning of the apt output (specifically which pacakges the current invocation was going to do) [22:49] Maybe someone knows how to do it... [22:49] slavanap: no idea? [22:49] andywww: you might be able to find that in /var/log/apt/history.log [22:49] zykotick9, I'm not familiar with CUPS that much. [22:49] one sec [22:50] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/724325fb400d2fea491ac7a56fde6a9b [22:50] this is from the very top of the list [22:50] andywww: that was from the current run or did you run it again? [22:50] first one [22:51] ah hang on [22:51] andywww: as i said: use dpkg [22:51] andywww: ok, so yeah, your apt was already b0rked. you should follow what k1l said [22:51] ah here we go [22:51] andywww: you'll need to manually remove 'old' kernels (you can honestly remove them all and then manually reinstall the latest via the metapacakge) [22:52] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/b7320dd7220b1e9fef8a956d4f0719cc [22:52] andywww: yes, dd you run that yet? autoremove [22:52] just running it now [22:53] i removed a few manually first [22:53] it just decided to replace them [22:53] Installing proprietary nvidia driver made me boot to black screen :/ [22:53] i didn’t know if they were being referenced somewhere [22:53] That confirms optimus support isn't out of the box at all yet [22:54] kaili: dpeneds on the card and the driver and where that driver is from [22:54] kaili: Did you purge the older driver prior to re-installing the current driver ? [22:55] k1l: from ubuntu repo. Card is geforce 940mx (I sent a paste with all the info earlier) [22:55] Bashing-om: purge nouveau ?? [22:55] kaili: was there an error when isntalling that package? [22:55] No error [22:56] kaili: did you look into the Xorg.0.log in /var/log ? [22:57] kaili: If it were the nouveau driver, no need to purge ; ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia ' to see if there are conflicts .

Laptop is cutting edge, tried to install 16.10, didn't work well [22:59] so, "there were no errors when installing the driver" doesnt match the "there is no module" issue [23:00] kaili: 17.04 is still in development.

[23:10] is it possible to remove a few of them with apt and rebuild the grub config? [23:13] kaili: yes, file a bug and see if that is a known issue for 17.04 [23:13] well a reboot worked, bonus [23:14] !bug | kaili [23:14] kaili: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

GParted tells me /dev/sda2 (100MB FAT32) is the EFI partition, but no matter what combination I try I can't get GRUB to recognize Ubuntu upon installation [23:19] hello guys i really need someone to help me with my Ubuntu [23:19] dh128: manjora != ubuntu [23:19] hey everyone [23:19] nacc: i'm not asking about manjaro though...
