[01:56] Hey, anyone know if it's possible to change a device's ip while it's connected? [01:58] Aro_: yes, but if it's a remote device you will loose connectivity [01:59] Ah okay. It's a local device. I'm using isc-dhcp with OMAPI on ubuntu. It's good to know it's possible, I already started working on my project so it would've been a bummer had a reconnect been required. [02:00] Aro_: anything that tries to connect will have to reconnect with the new address. [02:02] w9qbj, I'mma try some different drivers, and yes the cable is intact [02:04] on the one hand it's nerv wrecking to compile drivers you found online, on the other hand it's a lot of fun to mess around === alexandre9099_ is now known as alexandre9099 [02:05] It's fun if you don't need it for anything important. :-) [02:05] kind of important, but this seems to have done the trick, I'll wait some more before drawing a conclusion [02:06] kind of odd that this wasn't the driver included with ubuntu [02:09] I've become spoiled by Ubuntu [02:10] w9qbj: So if the device remains connected it will maintain it's old IP? [02:11] hello everyone, I tried and tried again but I can't get vbox and in particulare the guest addition to work on my 16.04 desktop for some reason. it was working fine on my previous laptop with 14.04. Shared Folder is nowhere to be found on my guest machine, internet not there either, resolution at a minimum. I tried older releases too. no dice. I am now trying 5.0.32 [02:13] smellsLikeGoatSp: Have you used the VirtualBox Devices menu to insert the guest additions image and reinstalled it? === JoseeAntonioR is now known as jose [02:15] please have a look at my question regarding bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10 https://superuser.com/questions/1193000/cd-cant-cd-to-mnt-c-program [02:18] !ubuwin | elisa871 [02:18] elisa871: 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. [02:20] ChaiTRex: that is probably what I was forgetting. I was sure there was a drop list somewhere, the device menu!! [02:20] ChaiTRex: thanks so much mate [02:20] smellsLikeGoatSp: You're welcome. [02:21] Did they ever port ssh to windows? [02:23] Pyro_Killer: You can probably use it in the Ubuntu subsystem on Windows 10. Other than that, you can use PuTTY. === OpenSorce is now known as OpenSores === OpenSores is now known as OpenSorce [02:24] My point was that MS never does what they say they're gonna do [02:24] bashing MS is completely off-topic in this channel, Pyro_Killer [02:25] understood [02:26] So [02:26] Since this is the Ubuntu IRC, what IRC client would u reccomend me to use on Ubuntu?

[02:28] sam12, yes [02:28] I used Xchat on 14.04, but had some troubles getting it for 16.04, but hexchat worked right off [02:28] w9qbj, xchat has been dead for years. should not be in the repos at all. [02:28] yup, thats the command. Thought it was like Transmission where there was more to add [02:29] maybe that's why I couldn't get it.

[03:20] hey does anyone know how i could install a portable linux version of MAME onto ubuntu? id like to be able to install the files and required dependencies onto a USB or onto a drive on my network. In other words, I do not want MAME or any of its roms stored on the local computer, would would like to be able to run the program still on the machine. Possible? [03:21] Hi there all, does anyone know why a sd card slot is not reconised after suspend and resume. (ubuntu 16.4.1) [03:21] Speed_: go to terminal and type "sudo nano .bashrc" and scroll down in the file until you see something that says "#force_color_prompt=yes" remove the "#" and press "ctrl+x" then "y" and hit "enter" === Spontex is now known as Guest2723 [03:22] !persistence | PfaU_ [03:22] PfaU_: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence === salem_ is now known as _salem [03:23] Speed_: did you find it??

[03:24] no prob [03:26] the other option would be to go into your terminal settings and set it to xterm-color or *-256color [03:27] but it doesnt hurt to force it in .bashrc..

[08:59] lotuspsychje I'd hope so, but maybe not, if the nic isn't sending those 4 bytes then it's not going to work. but then tcpdump -e -i eth0 shouldn't show the vlan tags so I dunno [08:59] I'm not doing any more tonight now :D [08:59] morning cfhowlett [08:59] yowza ^3, lotuspsychje [09:03] morning :) [09:04] Hi guys, does someone knows, what application in ubuntu hooks alt+q shortcut? === bocaneri is now known as Sauvin === Fleet_ is now known as Fleet === dreamon_ is now known as dreamon [10:15] Hi folks [10:17] When will Xubuntu 17.04 be out ?

See - http://www.ubuntu.com/download [10:17] it's expected apr. 13th afaik [10:17] cfhowlett, not really the right pointer [10:17] supriyob, oops, nope. see #ubuntu+1 [10:17] bazhang, so I noticed. sorry all [10:18] #ubuntu+1 for 17.04 discussion please [10:19] Hi All, is anyone still experiencing DNS issues after installing the patches? [10:19] supriyob: #ubuntu+1 has a link to the schedule in the topic [10:19] as per the glibc bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1674532 [10:19] Launchpad bug 1674532 in glibc (Ubuntu) "glibc update caused NSS ABI break" [Critical,Fix committed] [10:32] whats the recommended way to install ubuntu with a custom desktop i.e. an OS that uses ubuntu repositories and also does distro upgrades, but with a custom DE? [10:33] DullTube, what distro [10:33] DullTube: intall ubuntu-server and your DE of choice [10:33] !flavors | DullTube these are supported ubuntu OS's. Not on this list, not supported [10:33] DullTube these are supported ubuntu OS's. Not on this list, not supported: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE [10:34] what extra stuff do I have to do, if choosing ubuntu-server + custom desktop? [10:35] DullTube, are you currrently not on ubuntu [10:35] mint [10:36] what DE did you want DullTube [10:36] lxqt [10:36] !info lxqt [10:36] lxqt (source: lxqt-metapackages): Metapackage for LXQt. In component universe, is optional. Version 5 (yakkety), package size 2 kB, installed size 9 kB [10:37] DullTube, then apt install it, further MINT help in their channel [10:37] !mintsupport | DullTube [10:37] DullTube: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [10:37] bazhang: sorry, I was talking about a fresh install [10:38] DullTube, get the mini or such and add lxqt [10:38] !mini | DullTube [10:38] DullTube: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:39] my knowledge is a bit lacking here, but I take it existing distributions have very polished desktop environments so I take it installing one on a server image sounds like a lot of work and configuration [10:39] <\9> not really, i think you can do it with one apt call [10:39] DullTube, install any desktop ubuntu. adding an alternate DE to an installed system is a trivial matter [10:39] DullTube: ubuntu ships metapackages which will pull all the needed depencies. they all share the same kernel and base system anywa [10:39] y [10:40] <\9> DullTube: except i don't know how that works with lxqt [10:40] I'll try it out [10:40] <\9> though i think that if you install lxqt and perhaps lightdm it should give at least some kind of a desktop [10:40] <\9> and you can build up from there [10:40] p.s. what's the difference between the mini and the server image? [10:41] you can ask the #lubuntu guys how far they are with the lxqt setup. but last time i looked it was still lxde the main target [10:41] yeah 17.04 is lxde still [10:41] !info lubuntu-qt-desktop [10:41] lubuntu-qt-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop Qt environment.

[11:03] hi Liza [11:03] Liza, this is ubuntu support. ask your support questions. jibberjabber in #ubuntu-offtopic [11:08] hi pals, xorg<>nvidia driver troubles are back again. [11:09] Hi Everyone [11:09] afg [11:09] a question about LibreOffice used in headless mode [11:09] How to figure out what driver is used? 'inxi -Gxx' says: 'Display Server: X.org 1.18.4 drivers: nvidia (unloaded: fbdev,vesa,nouveau)' [11:10] yjvhhkk [11:10] yet /etc/X11/xorg.conf has 'Driver "vesa"' line [11:10] hi [11:11] niggard: unless you are doing manual tweaks, you dont need to have a xorg.conf at all [11:11] I'm trying to convert a docx file to pdf using LibreOffice headless. I started the server in listening mode, cause it seems the way to go to use it concurrently and for performance benefits (I'm planning to use it in a web application) as: [11:11] libreoffice --headless --accept="socket,host=localhost,port=9997,tcpNoDelay=1;urp" --nodefault --nofirststartwizard --nolockcheck --nologo --norestore --invisible [11:11] however, as normal user, the following command does not work, without any output (errors or messages): [11:11] libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf --infilter="Microsoft Word 2007/2010/2013 XML" LaP1.docx [11:11] running it as root, instead, it works. [11:11] Anybody experienced that and can provide any help? [11:11] I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. [11:11] hkhsfghjklñ [11:11] niggard, you're using nouveau. the default open source driver [11:11] BluesKaj: but inxi -Gxx lists it as unloaded [11:12] Hey. Is there a reason why a kernel i compiled on one Ubuntu box may not boot on another? [11:12] hateball: I have 2 GPUs and 2 monitors and they didn't play nice until I've created xorg.conf [11:12] efg: play somewhere else please [11:12] ooooooooooooooooooooo [11:13] niggard: I see === masos is now known as Guest10560 [11:13] hi [11:13] hi?

Is there an application for ubuntu which could remind me in this way: I have something to do on a certain day, but it's nevermind when exactly. When I start ubuntu on this day for the first time, it reminds me like a alarm clock. Do you know something in this way? [11:16] birne: apt-cache search google calendar [11:17] okay, thanks [11:20] BluesKaj: hey, so how did you figure out I'm using nouveau? [11:21] I started a process with nohup ./update.sh & this calls multiple other commands is there a way I can kill all the processes by nohup ? [11:21]
