[00:15] hi === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [00:33] Arg... how does one run a java applet these days (that's the only form some application is available in)? I've tried appletviewer and javaws and both complained and didn't seem to work on the first try... [00:36] and of course firefox doesn't support the plugin anymore... [00:36] reepca: Applets are the work of Satan, but `appletviewer` is the standard these days. [00:40] ... Is it standard practice among web developers to instead of writing actual html write javascript that then writes the html from string literals? === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer [00:40] Or am I just dealing with a really sadistic developer here? [00:43] I'm guessing appletviewer doesn't do javascript? [00:49] hello. i have an old qemu ubuntu vm (using kvm hardware) which i am having trouble getting xwindows to boot on. i believe the problem started when i updated qemu. at first, where x windows would normally load, i would get a black screen with a few randomly colored dots. then i added to the virsh xml config for the vm a device with type='vga', and xwindows will now partially boot. however i never get the desktop. i see what i believe is the [00:49] background, but no icons or toolbars ever appear. i have checked every log file i know of but i cannot find any error to explain this. [00:49] i was hoping someone here might be able to help me troubleshoot this issue [00:53] reepca, get the firefox 52 esr version , if you *need* java for development [00:53] http://askubuntu.com/questions/890603/how-to-install-firefox-32-bit-esr-52-on-ubuntu-16-04-64-bit-without-uninstalling [00:55] I think you might even need to ensure it's the 32 bit version of Firefox 52 ESR: https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Firefox/Firefox-52-ESR-java-plugin-not-working/td-p/1372952 [01:05] Just got a new Inspiron 13 7000 series 2-in-1 laptop from Dell and Ubuntu runs pretty well on it. I have one major annoying issue that I need help with and that's the trackpad. The cursor jumps when I'm typing because my hand hits the pad. If I am not very careful, when I click the pad the cursor jumps to the bottom left corner and my click opens the Trash folder (happens VERY often). Any tips on how to address this? I disabled the "tap [01:05] to select" but that didn't help. [01:06] hspcd: The solution I use is an external mouse in combination with setting the trackpad to turn on only when a mouse is disconnected. [01:07] hspcd: Someone else may know how to fix the issue itself, though. [01:07] ChaiTRex: Thanks. I had considered using an external mouse but that kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop when you want to be mobile. [01:08] It's a real annoying problem. Seems driver related. [01:08] Works like a champ with Windows 10 loaded [01:10] Yeah, I don't think Dell put much quality control into its Linux trackpad drivers. [01:12] 这里都是哪里人呢 [01:13] !cn | Soros [01:13] Soros: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [01:15] foreigner all? @ubottu@ChaiTRex [01:20] how I make a large null test file to transfer over a network? [01:21] like something that will transfer at the same speed all the way through [01:21] ChetManly: head --bytes=10000 /dev/null [01:22] dd if=/dev/zero of=file.txt count=1024 bs=1024 [01:22] OerHeks: how large is that? [01:22] 1024 mb [01:22] trying to test network speed [01:23] ok [01:23] ChetManly: Sorry, /dev/zero, not null. [01:23] ChaiTRex: what is head used for? [01:23] or urandom, maybe more realistic [01:23] ChetManly: Getting the first 10000 bytes of /dev/zero [01:23] ahh [01:25] when i download ubuntu and write it using unetbootin or dd command, it boots and then i get a black screen on pc [01:25] what's wrong? [01:26] it's a custom built pc with the latest intel cpu [01:27] azx: You write it to what? [01:27] usb drive [01:27] azx: Then you boot from that and it goes to a black screen? [01:28] !nomodeset | azx What graphics card ?? [01:28] azx What graphics card ??: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:28] it boots grub and if i boot live or install the monitor goes to sleep and i can't see anything [01:28] there is no graphics card [01:28] just the cpu [01:28] azx: Which CPU? [01:29] intel i7 7700k [01:29] 7th gen [01:30] You can try the nomodeset recommendation, but that CPU should work fine. [01:30] OerHeks: it is much smaller then that [01:30] i have an hdd with ubuntu from another pc [01:31] it works fine in the PC i built [01:31] how do i set nomodeset? [01:31] i just cant get the installation media to boot [01:31] !nomodeset | azx [01:31] azx: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:31] maybe i should wait longer at the black screen? [01:32] azx: You can tell the installer to use nomodeset. You might also have problems with a corrupted download or a bad USB drive. [01:32] azx: But one thing at a time. Try nomodeset. [01:38] tatertots: did you happen to find an easier way to install the driver? I found this https://medium.com/@elmaxx/rtl8821ae-wifi-drivers-in-ubuntu-16-04-4c1286524afa#.fi448v4sp and I think it might be okay [01:41] NiteRaidah2: try it and see if "ee" disappears [01:43] still hard to beat the i7-4790 under linux [01:53] hi guys! im trying to use curl to save cookies with the option -c and at my home folder it doesnt create [01:53] any tip? [01:54] I'm using gnome3 and in Tweak Tool -> Appearance -> Shell theme, it says "Shell user-theme extension not enabled". What is that and how do I enable it? [01:55] ugh nvm, it's in another section of tweak tool :) [01:55] tatertots: 'ee' is still in the 'rtl8188ce-linux-driver' folder but I have a 'rtlwifi_new' folder that appeared next to it, and according to terminal install it was installed successfully. paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24244282/ (sorry in advance for the 200-ish lines on that) [01:56] NiteRaidah2: ok now get rid of the active ee driver that you've had bad experiences with...as long as "ee" is seen you really haven't done or accomplished anything [01:57] NiteRaidah2: i don't mean in any folders [01:57] NiteRaidah2: i mean in inxi or lshw [01:57] Failed to start LSB: Apache2 web s [01:58] tatertots: how do I do that with inxi or lshw? I'm sure I've been told but it's been lost in the shuffle. Terminal? [01:58] NiteRaidah2: if ee persists to show up, it might be easier for you to purchase a $10-$20 usb wlan adapter off amazon or newegg or any retailer you use or trust [01:59] NiteRaidah2: if ee persists only thing i can suggest is trying to hardwire with ethernet cable, install teamviewer and let an experienced person deal with the matter. [02:00] tatertots: I'll do that if I can't get it done, but I don't know how to with inxi or lshw? I'll go with those two options if I can't get rid of it that way. [02:08] hi [02:09] i know this probably isnt the place, but would anybody mind helping me with a tech issue [02:10] sure if we can. what is your question? [02:11] something strange is going on with my motherboard. i recently installed an old hard drive in my pc that i had put ubuntu on a couple years ago. i went to install a new os and it seems as though my motherboard can't boot from usb anymore [02:11] sure you enabled it in Bios [02:11] ##hardware tcn [02:12] oh okay, sorry about that bazhang, thank you [02:12] np [02:12] im new to irc chat lol [02:15] what media player cna Iuse to listen to midi files? [02:19] Hello, anyone knows whats the called the acpid event responsible for turning off the screen? [02:20] I am on ubuntu 16.04 using mate, and when the screensaver kicks in (set to blank page) the backlight led of the monitor stays on for 10 minutes idling before turning the monitor off [02:20] this on a x230 laptop [02:23] NiteRaidah2: sudo lshw -C network|pastebinit [02:23] or any other alternative for having the monitor turning off when screensaver (just a black screen) goes off [02:23] NiteRaidah2: share url/link here [02:23] *on [02:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24244446/ tatertots [02:25] NiteRaidah2: can you connect a ethernet cable and hardwire the computer? [02:25] NiteRaidah2: i think i've asked you this before [02:26] tatertots: you have. I don't think I can, it just tells me the cable's unplugged even though it's been used today [02:26] rsync -v file.txt neon@192.168.1.132:~/testsyncin [02:26] *when I check the network settings [02:26] what wrong with that? [02:26] NiteRaidah2: is it connected with a cable right now? [02:26] no, unplugged. [02:26] do I need ssh enabled if I trust my network [02:26] Latrina, isnt that related to your machine setup? [02:26] NiteRaidah2: plug it in [02:27] cant I get send it plain? [02:27] NiteRaidah2: whats on the other end of that cable?...what type of device.. [02:28] psychoCIO, not sure thought the events are standard [02:29] Latrina, Im quite confused trying to APM here too.. :) but as far a I have figured out: it looks like your setup have precedence on the system's stuff [02:29] NiteRaidah2: acceptable answer are as follows: my modem/router that my isp provided to me, a thing that plugs directly into a electrical outlet that uses the electrical wires in the wall as network medium, a switch that i own etc [02:30] tatertots: yes, that. sorry for the delay, was wrestling with another minor thing that popped up. [02:30] Latrina, at least related to the capabilities that you will allow to manage [02:31] I am not sure what you are talking about [02:31] Why I can't connect the game server when I play the superTuxKart? [02:34] NiteRaidah2: if i were you i'd just buy another wlan adapter..they are cheap....something like this takes 20 minutes tops...the fact that you've been at it since march 19th with zero signs of progress tells me progress is unlikely to occur [02:34] yeah... [02:35] rather frustrating, to say the least. but it's this is on me, need to learn to work things out. [02:35] NiteRaidah2: i wouldn't waste any more time on it if i were you, just spend $20 on a usb adapter and call it a day [02:36] I guess I am gonna have to wait 10 minutes to figure it out [02:36] tatertots: instructions/etc come along with the adapter I would assume? [02:36] acpid -d -l should log the event output [02:36] NiteRaidah2: no you need something plug and play [02:37] ok. [02:37] NiteRaidah2: you shouldn't be configuring anything [02:37] NiteRaidah2: you need something that you simply plug into a usb port and go [02:38] NiteRaidah2: managing drivers in linux isn't terribly difficult but can take 2-4 years to completely understand how it works [02:39] NiteRaidah2: so you could literally be at this for the next several years [02:39] what channel do i goto to talk about programming in ubuntu on python with pyopengl? [02:39] tatertots: yeah, I'm not too interested in plugged away at this for that long, I'd drive myself even crazier :P Guess I'll go down the adapter route then. thanks for the help in all this :) [02:40] NiteRaidah2: no prob === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas === JanC is now known as Guest89300 === JanC_ is now known as JanC === root is now known as Guest62784 [02:53] if im trying to login into a live distro what is the default password for root? [02:53] ChetManly: what distro [02:53] ubuntu [02:53] no password [02:53] just go to root [02:53] asks for password [02:54] My root has joined you, dont bash it! [02:54] sudo? [02:56] !root | ChetManly [02:56] ChetManly: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:56] Bashing-om: not what I asked [02:57] ok well what the user name on a live distro? [02:57] ChetManly: rephrase so I comprehend ? [02:57] ChetManly sudo -i [02:57] ChetManly: "ubuntu" password "" [02:57] on a terminal with your user [02:58] jeez guys you re very helpful around here [02:58] I was just trying to be funny [02:58] nvm [02:58] ChetManly: If you're using a different flavor then the live user is the name of that flavor, like "xubuntu" or "ubuntu-gnome". All use the same password, "". [03:00] I just created new user [03:00] thanks [03:00] ChetManly: The LiveUSB should log in automatically though, so if you're seeing a login screen at boot that probably means that X or your Unity session is failing to start for some reason.

[03:11] uhhh do you have persistence set up? [03:11] otherwise it's probably all going to /dev/null/ [03:11] (which is the trash) [03:12] yes persistence [03:12] is your persistence partition large enough for 100GB file? is it a 128gb flash drive or something? [03:12] it gave me a low disk warning but its still happily transfering away [03:13] no its way small maybe 8GB [03:13] also, love the Archer reference [03:13] then it won't work [03:13] thanks [03:13] you're filling up your file and it runs out of space [03:13] well it was transfering cause it gave the warning [03:13] probably either overwriting itself with the newer data or just outputting the rest to /dev/null/ [03:14] I dont care if it fails its a speed test anyway [03:14] either way, you can't fit a 100GB file on less than 8GB of space [03:14] maybe its just writing to null till it ruins my thumb drive [03:15] Writing to /dev/null doesn't write to an actual device. [03:16] yeah writing to /dev/null/ is the same thing as saying "ignore this data" .. it discards it, /dev/null isn't an actual location [03:16] on your device [03:17] why doesnt rsync tell you the writing speed ... if you cancel it...

[03:23] yes [03:25] ChetManly: If you're trying to test your network speed then rsync is a poor choice, as it will compress your file (especially if your file is easily compressable, like containing all zero bytes...).

Does it have an option for putting display to sleep after inactive for? [03:38] okay, you should be able to bring up the terminal from the CTRL + F2 - F7 keys (such as CTRL + F2, or CTRL+F5, etc...) [03:38] and from there you can restart your startx session [03:38] or whatever process is running your GUI [03:38] no, nothing works..

[03:39] it works [03:39] but Xorg keeps the led on for 10 minutes past [03:40] Latrina: Does it keep the LED on if you change that to something less? [03:40] from the moment the screensaver supposedly put the screen off [03:40] yes [03:43] First i was suspecting this was due to KVM running, but it happened without KVM also.

[05:34] lmao if they had lied and said their system was ubuntu, the solution would've still been the same for that particular problem [05:34] but w/e, they're already gone [05:34] no, and that is irrelevant and possibly untrue [05:34] if you'd like to suggest a policy change, you can do so in #ubuntu-ops [05:35] haha ok dude [05:35] you got it [05:36] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python2.7/+bug/1443704 [05:36] Launchpad bug 1443704 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "Support for TLS 1.2 not present (added in 2.7.9)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [05:37] its 2017 [05:37] all python apps that use the network are vulnerable in ubuntu LTS [05:37] am I reading that right?! [05:39] I tried different releases but I still can't get guestaddition to work on vbox. I am running 16.04 [05:40] !usn | Rubin_ [05:40] Rubin_: Please see http://www.ubuntu.com/usn for information about recent Ubuntu security updates. [05:44] lotuspsychje, I dont see it listed there [05:44] Hey guys I have a question bout my Ubuntu 16.04 system. How is my eth0 is participating in dhcp when I’ve got `iface eth0 inet manual` in /etc/network/interfaces? [05:45] Rubin_: bugs are different then security holes [05:45] @MoonBot have you bounced interface down/up? === TTN_ is now known as TTN [05:47] MoonBot: Ben64 just suggested you debian channel [05:48] lotuspsychje, the way I understand it, it IS a security hole [05:48] But my ubuntu system isn't supported in the debian channel. [05:49] okay, trying that now ausafali88_ [05:49] Rubin_: if you find a security hole in ubuntu, please report to #ubuntu-hardened [05:50] @MoonBot also try rebooting... [05:52] I'm just wondering how the particular settings of 'inet manual' affect my eth0 device for DHCP? Does that mean I need to add a static IP on my ubuntu machine and make sure it's the same as the static dhcp value for my router? [05:53] would changing eth0 from 'inet manual' to 'inet auto' allow for dhcp assignments? [05:53] or am I completely off track? [05:56] what do you wnat to accomplish @MoonBot? [05:57] static dhcp address set on both my ubuntu machine and the router. The router is easy but I wanna make sure it's done right on my machine [05:57] the thing about that is you don't need to configure the client [05:57] I know I could just leave it as auto dhcp on the client and have static on the router [05:57] but I wanna set it as static on the client too [05:58] then thats not static dhcp [05:58] what would that be, then? [05:58] static ip [05:58] dhcp means "get your IP address and network info from a DHCP server on the network" [05:58] @MoonBot you just want IP address static and other configurations from DHCP server? [05:58] cool, so does eth0 inet manual accomplish static ip then? [05:58] what's the channel for Touch? [05:58] if you configure your IP address in yoru router as "static" that means you are asking your dhcp server to remember the computer and always give it the same IP address via dhcp. [05:59] that is statelss DHCP where you configure IP address and leave other configurations to DHCP, whihc btw is not supported in IPV4. It is in IPv6. [05:59] and I want my client to have that same static IP address configured on its machine, so that if I or someone else moves the machine to a new network it won't work [05:59] I know it's not the easiest way to do it, but that's how I wanna configure mine [05:59] addd a DHCP reservation in router. [05:59] with MAC address. [06:00] MoonBot, in that case you want inet static in /etc/network/interfaces and manually specify everything [06:00] but know that anyone with minimum network ability can still make your computer work in a new network [06:00] ausafali88_: I have the router settings down just fine, I want the same IP settings hard coded in my client so that it is configured to work on my network and ONLY my network [06:01] if you are wanting that for security reasons, just know that it is minimally effective [06:01] I.E. if someone put my client on another network, it wouldn't connect to a network unless they happen to give my client the exact same IP [06:01] no moonbot [06:01] I know, but it's more of a proof of concept [06:01] when you define it static in your client, the server doesnt assign anything [06:01] it would only matter if they were using the same ip address space as you [06:01] or could configure it [06:02] if you have a NAT router, you may be using 192.168.* and in that case moving your computer to any other NAT router that also uses that space it would work fine [06:02] if you really want to lock it so it cant work on other networks, there are better ways [06:02] for example you could set it up to only work with a router that has your router's MAC address [06:05] oo I like that last one about hardcoding the router MAC into my client, how would I go about that Rubin_ ? [06:05] in the iptables firewall [06:05] would that be under /etc/network/interfaces ? [06:05] oh [06:05] you could make a rule that restricted packets from your router's ip address but not with your routers MAC using --source-mac [06:06] -s 192.168.1.1 --source-mac whatever -j ACCEPT [06:06] I changed the chmod of /usr to 777 [06:06] how do I fix it? [06:06] something like that. and then a line -s 192.168.1.1 -j DROP [06:06] sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set [06:06] I get that error [06:06] wouldn't that be just as effective as hardcoding the IP into my client, security-wise? like someone with minimal networking skills could change the settings for IP the same as the router MAC [06:07] if it's just a firewall rule [06:07] but yes, I will use that and thank you Rubin_ [06:07] neither method is very secure [06:07] mac's can be faked easily [06:07] they'd have to figure out what your router's mac was [06:07] which isn't too hard since it's broadcasted lol yikes [06:07] yeah [06:08] with some more expensive network equipment you can setup athentication at the port level [06:08] 802.whatever port auth [06:08] sudo chmod -R 777 /usr [06:08] but ivonly ever used that from a 'protect the network from unknown devices' standpoint. not the other way around [06:08] !danger [06:08] I used that command [06:08] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [06:09] how do I fix it? [06:09] oh [06:09] reinstall [06:09] no, please, tell me another solution [06:09] j4f-shredder, nah you pretty well mucked it up [06:09] learn to be more careful when using sudo and recursive [06:10] cmon dude, I have reinstalled ubuntu like 4 times in the last 5 days [06:10] I moved from windows [06:10] stop running things like that [06:10] and this is wht I get [06:10] j4f-shredder, that's like a super dangerous command though [06:10] can I get a recovery mode or something?
