hfpHi, I have a ThinkPad x230 running Ubuntu 16.10. I wanted to disable the touchpad so only the trackpoint is in use. I ran gconf-edit but couldn't find a touchpad in there. Then I rebooted, and now I have no keyboard or mouse at all in Ubuntu. I have keyboard in the BIOS, recovery console, and mouse + keyboard using a LiveUSB of 16.04. My disk i sencrypted but I can decrypt and chroot. How can I fix this? It00:11
hfpused to work well.00:11

RakkoWhen a package contains a module source tarball in /usr/src, how am I supposed to go about building that module? Preferably making a .deb out of it.00:33
RakkoI used to know, years ago; but I don't really remember and all the ways of building modules on the web are making me feel in over my head00:33
omeniusI'm trying to resize my partition as I extended my logical volume, but I'm getting confusing results with fdisk00:36
omeniushttps://paste.ubuntu.com/24271280/00:37
omeniusmaybe I should to the new partition to *-part1?00:38
omeniusnah, "$ sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/omenius--vg-omenius0-part1" does not work either00:39
omeniusI think it's the partition itself, so that's why *-part1 won't even open with fdisk00:41

maddawg4hey all i'm having a problem when i try to install anything or update... i keep getting an error in the terminal that my drive is full00:54
maddawg4but i'm really confused as to how that's possible00:54
maddawg4as it says there are over 800GB free00:55
bazhang maddawg4 did you have some extra kernels in there that you could remove00:55
maddawg4not sure bazhang00:55
maddawg4how do i know?00:55
wafflejock^^ try, sudo apt autoremove00:55
wedgiemaddawg4: do you have a seperate /boot patition? it could be full00:55
RakkoWhen a package contains a module source tarball in /usr/src, how am I supposed to go about building that module? Preferably making a .deb out of it.00:55
maddawg4wedgie ah yea in df -h it does show a seperate boot partition00:55
bazhangmaddawg4, try autoremove00:55
wafflejockmaddawg4, if you can free up a few megs can, sudo apt install ncdu, then run sudo ncdu /, it will give you a tree of folders sorted by file size within them can drill in and find where the mystery space is00:56
wafflejockwhen in there can hit D to delete but be careful if running it as root00:56
maddawg4wedgie how do i browse to the boot partition00:57
wedgiecd /boot00:57
maddawg4i see just my root partition00:57
wedgiemaddawg4: and as the others have said, you probably just need to remove a few old kernel versions00:57
bazhanguse the package manager for that00:57
maddawg4yea i'm doig the autoremove right now00:57
wedgiekeeping 1 or 2 old versions around is a good idea in case an update breaks something, but more than that is generally unnecessary00:57
maddawg4it'll free up 2GB00:58
wedgie2 GB will fit a lot of kernels :P00:58
maddawg4actually it says 200MB i guess00:58
maddawg4the whole size of the /boot is like  452M00:59
maddawg4472MB actually00:59
maddawg4then my / is 96TB00:59
maddawg4oh no that's my iscsi target01:00
maddawg4not my /01:00

Jonno_FTWnewcoder: it says xterm02:16
Rakkohttp://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html <- there was a subdomain ebay.sun.com?02:17
minimeconeskres: You need to change one line in /etc/default/grub... 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"'. Afterwards do 'sudo update-grub' in the terminal.02:17
Rakkooops, wrong channel02:17
oneskresthank you, I will try!02:17
Rakkominimec: I know about checkinstall; that's not what I'm talking about.02:18
minimeconeskres: I have a gtx1060 and had the same problem...02:18
newcoderminimec: Where did you set xterm-256color?02:18
RakkoBack in the early-to-mid-2000s, before I left Linux for a few years, I knew exactly what I needed to do to compile a module *source* that came in a Debian package, and create a *binary* package from it. That's what I'm trying to rediscover.02:18
minimecnewcoder: Default settings... Never did any change...02:19
RakkoI mean, checkinstall might do what I want, but it isn't the specific avenue I'm thinking of.02:20
RakkoAs it is, I just have this module tarball, which unpacks into a modules/ directory, and I have no idea how to even build it.02:20
oneskres@minimec hi.. it didn't work. the same thing happened, and monitor says "no signal."02:22
oneskresI have nVidia GeForce gtx 65002:23
minimeconeskres: Did you 'sudo update-grub'? The line should work. I use it here and had the exact same problem as you describe...02:23

smellsLikeGoatSpI was wondering what the difference is between installing xboxdrv and ubuntu-xbox driver on Ubuntu, the main difference I can see is to do with mapping and the lack of jstest-gtk on the former.

elhi, i got a really bad issue/problem with my 16.04 working machine. os itself is on an SSD which boots properly, all data was on a raid device (i am still assuming it is/was a raid1). If i now try to boot the system it seems like 1 of the 2 raid drives is gone/dead which stops the entire boot process and throws me to maintancne console. As a next step i removed the md from /etc/fstab which results in a properly booting system. And now come07:21
marko991is it safe to use pale moon instead of firefox ?07:21
elchecking /proc/mdstat shows an array shows an inactive raid device md0 but without the U_ which i was expecting (broken drive is removed)07:22
elmdadm --detail /dev/md0 shows a raid0 (instead of raid1) with 1 device07:22
elgnome-disk shows a raid-107:22
elthis entire situation is heavily confusing me as this point as i am 99,99% sure it is / was a raid1 - which should now be just degraded07:23
M_hello07:23
elany ideas why mdadm shows a different raid level then gnome-disk?07:24
M_What are you talking about07:25

selckinel: you could have multiple mdadm metadata's on the disk in the differend versions07:26

vltHello. We were affected by Mozilla Firefox's bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=910022 and our Firefox didn't render background colors of slect menu options. Now something weird happened: I got several thank you mails for bringing colors back but didn't update firefox. It's still held on 51.0.1.  But I installed a few other packages: darktable, ffmpeg, mplayer. Here's a diff of two machines with07:26
elsudo mdadm --msic -E /dev/sdb1 (the ramaining raid disk) shows a raid1 which 2 devices - which is the expected raid type07:26

ubottuMozilla bug 910022 in Layout: Form Controls "[e10s] Properly style <option> elements in the parent process UI (support color and background on select options)" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]07:26
vltAny idea what happened?07:27
elselckin: yes i am aware of the danger in this situation. I am now wondering what to do.07:27
elselckin: one option is adding a new empty disk to the md device and see what happens - but this feels dangerous too07:27
Snowiecfhowlett: all of these instructions seem horribly out of date. I think the blocker here is it asks to create a partition called caspar-rw, but if i look at the contents of a ubuntu 16.04 created with startup disk, it doesn't even have that file any longer, just a folder called caspar.07:29
cfhowlettSnowie, yep, and update sounds in order.07:30
elselckin: do you know by chance a way to mount a single raid disk manually to see the data the disk contains?07:30
selckinel: i've lost all my data twice, so i'm not going to give any action advice :) #mdadm has some good ppl, but they can take a long time to respond sometimes07:31
Snowiecfhowlett: I have found this post, what do you think of this as the default method for 16.04? http://askubuntu.com/questions/772744/how-to-make-a-live-usb-persistent07:32
Snowiecfhowlett: about time i gave something back to ubuntu to, so maybe I could try to get an updated version of that page out. Where would i start with that?07:33
cfhowlettSnowie, write it up, advise the mods that you have done so and you would like to redirect the current !persistent irc factoid to the refreshed page07:34
cfhowletti.e. edit the wiki or copy the current wiki, make a new one with the corrections07:34
cfhowlettSnowie, regarding that link you sent, you might find a few eyebrows raised at sending users to a ppa instead of the default Usb-startup-disk-creator07:36
vltCould libcolord-gtk1 be responsible for rendering a CSS styled background-color of an element in Firefox?07:40

finexbeerhow can I cancel the cache from my pc07:47
cfhowlettfinexbeer, sudo apt clean07:47
finexbeerthanks07:47
Snowiecfhowlett: yeah, i figured ppa wasn't ideal. this tool is definately rough around the edges too but did the job in pretty good time, and alot of work has been put into it. Not ready for Ubuntu Desktop prime time though.07:48
Snowiehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb07:48
cfhowlettSnowie, my very personal preference would be to use the command in option > make the USB with startup-disk-creator then cli to add persistence07:49
Snowiecfhowlett: I agree, well, depending on just how difficult that is, but with only outdated info and not being entirely familiar I wouldn't know where to start07:50
finexbeerwhen they relic the ubuntu 17.04??07:50
SnowieI would just be tinkering til i hit something that worked for me, but couldn't know if that was the right answer07:51
cfhowlettSnowie, if the only diff is casper rather than casper-rw ... I'm not in a position to test this at the moment07:51
Snowiecfhowlett: I might pick it up and play around and see if I can find a reliable method and WI i'll check it here and then write it up to update/merge alot of the info i did find.07:52
cfhowlettSnowie,  you, sir, are a prince amongst men!07:52
Snowiecfhowlett: haha, thanks, and I'm definately gunna have to pick it up now, because the mkusb one wouldn't boot, lol07:55
cfhowlettSnowie, time to do testing - for science!07:55
Snowiecfhowlett: ok, first method, just make with startup disk creator, then with the empty space, create ext2 partition called 'caspar-rw' and see how we go.07:56

Akishonahi guys! short question: are someone here using ssd disks in your pcs?08:25
wewladhello. I have sound not working on ubuntu.08:25
Akishonaif so,  do you have swap partition on it? is it recommended to have a swap partition on ssd >08:27
ikevinAkishona, i use ssd and don't use swap on it08:28
wewladit looks like the problem is in pulseaudio wrongly defining what port I plug the jack in08:28
wewladbecause I am plugging into front panel socket08:28
ikevinAkishona, recommended, yes and no, if you want a fast swap then yes, if you want to save your sdd then no08:28
wewladand it doesn't show up in the list of output devices08:29

Akishonait's a old laptop08:32
ducasseAkishona: in that case you might expect to use swap now and then, which wears the ssd down. a modern ssd is still expected to outlast hdd drives.08:32

Simoooneverytime I put my computer into standby and start it up again, when I try to move the windows or right click there is a colourful glitchy looking border coming out from the window, and it is like that until I restart. Anyone know what that is about or how to fix it? (16.04 btw08:54
Bluekingbut reduce /boot/efi partition and  use free space to increase /boot partition08:54
Simooon)08:54
k1l_Simooon: that is a known issue for some video drivers. but i dont know if there is workaround or fix for that.08:55
ducasseBlueking: you can't resize the efi partition with resize2fs, because it's fat3208:55
Bluekingk1l_ apt autoremove doesn't remove old kernels  need to use purge for that08:55
Simooonk1l_, okay, do you know if it is gone in the newer releases?08:55
k1l_Blueking: it does. what ubuntu are you using exactly?08:55
Bluekingubuntu 16.0408:56
k1l_so apt autoremove works08:56

Bluekingok08:59
Simooonk1l_, anyway thanks, I will probably upgrade to 17.04 when it comes out regardless :-)08:59

jj-_Hi everybody, I desperately need some help with my Ubuntu system. After upgrading my system yesterday, python broke for some reason and I fixed it, or so I thought, when I tried booting up my computer today I got the error ALLOC MAGIC BROKEN at grub, I am using a live usb right now and I have chrooted into the ssd, but I am lost what to do, a lot of the commands dont work, such as df -h09:07
OerHeksBlueking, normally you would have 2 kernels after autoremove, 70 and 67 .. so i guess something strange is going on.09:07
Bluekingok, might be some setting when installed  it ?  it's ubuntu 16.04 server version09:08
MoL0ToVsomeone can explain to me how to deny all user to pause the default printer?09:09
OerHeksnow you removed 1 kernel too much, no recovery mode possible.09:09
Bluekinghave backups09:10
ikevinMoL0ToV, you need to play with cups policy09:10
ikevinMoL0ToV, see https://www.cups.org/doc/policies.html (and search for "pause")09:10
MoL0ToVikevin, is normal that the default user can pause the printer without authenticate?09:10
Bluekingok resize fat32 partition   it can't be smaller than 512MB it seems09:10
ikevinMoL0ToV, it depend of the ubuntu default policies09:11
MoL0ToVyes, what are the default ubuntu policies?09:11
ikevinMoL0ToV, by default: Require user @SYSTEM09:14
ikevinMoL0ToV, and cups doc say: Specifies the group(s) to use for @SYSTEM group authentication. The default contains "admin", "lpadmin", "root", "sys", and/or "system".09:14
ikevinMoL0ToV, you can override this by defining "SystemGroup <group name>" in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf09:15
ikevinor changing the value of "require" from @SYSTEM to @OWNER09:16

BrowserHello, I made a copy of a hard-drive and now I am using on another PC but the network card is not detected. I know the network card is totally compatible on Ubuntu as if I do a clean installation, it will work. Is there a way to fix the problem without having to start a clean installation?09:33
lotuspsychjeBrowser: chipset of your network card? ubuntu version?09:35
proxx_Browser , how are you so sure its not detected09:38
ducasseBrowser: pastebin output of 'lspci -k' and 'ifconfig -a'09:40
CrazyHducasse, how can I tell if I'm running GTK2 or GTK3? I see evidence of both of them being installed on my system09:40

eSa|Hi, is there a way to run a program from the shell at a certain position of the screen?09:41
proxx_eSa| a CLI tool or a GUI ? ?09:42
CrazyHducasse, I tried what the page that you gave me suggested. I opened a terminal and entered `export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0;` Then I opened a new window. The scroll bar style did not change. Do I have to put this in my ~/.xinitrc file then reboot?09:42
eSa|proxx_: cli09:42
ikevinCrazyH, yes, so, just logout/login09:42
LukkerHello guys09:43
OerHeksCrazyH, logout/login i guess to make the change take effect09:43
ducasseCrazyH: try 'GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 gnome-terminal'09:43
proxx_eSa| so you want to run a appl in a terminal and have it on a specific location inside the terminal ?09:43
eSa|proxx_: not really I want the app to be positioned inside the X session09:44
Browserproxx_: it doesn't appear anything in the connections settings.09:44
LukkerI hope this is not a dumb question: "when i run a script ...in the same shell or in a new shell" what is the difference?09:44

eSa|proxx_: i'm with ubuntu09:46
LukkerI hope this is not a dumb question: "when i run a script ...in the same shell or in a new shell" what is the difference?09:46
Lukker./   or . ./  ?09:47
proxx_eSa| http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/gnome-shell-make-applications-start-on.html maybe this points you in the right direction09:48
LukkerNobody?09:48
proxx_Lukker, be patient dude09:49
Lukkerok ok :)09:49
proxx_I am not sure I understand you first question , the second is ez , ./ means here , ../ means one step down09:50
proxx_. = current  .. means current-1 :)09:50
CrazyHLukker, when you run different shells they will have different environments variable values. This can make a BIG difference in your scripts running correctly. You should ask this question in #bash09:53
eSa|proxx_: in my case i have a second monitor and i want the program to appear there09:53
Lukker#bash09:54
CrazyHducasse, cat .xinitrc09:54
CrazyHexport GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0;09:54
Lukkeri see09:54
CrazyHducasse, however, even after a full reboot no changes took effect :-/09:54

snadgebecause its going to take a very long time.. i know it.. many hours :p10:44
proxx_haha , yes there is that ofc :)10:45
tiffypoohey guys, im still new to this but is there a way to download a program to a secondary drive?10:45
snadgeyeah so maybe i can make it quicker.. like you say, strip down to bare essentials10:45
proxx_tiffypoo , in that case you'd better move the  /usr to a different mount point, see fstab for that10:46
proxx_(assuming you are lacking space on / )10:46
proxx_@ snadge:  service lightdm stop10:47
tiffypooeven tho the other drive has its own os on it? that will be moved to another computer?10:47
proxx_tiffypoo please explain what you want to do exactly10:47
proxx_just download  a pkg and move that ?10:48
tiffypooi have ubuntu 10 on my secondary drive, that needs drivers i dont have to access the internet, so i just put into my other computer as a secondary ( main os xeial? ) and im looking to just dowload the program im looking for to the drive instead of fighting with disks and flash drives10:50
EriC^^tiffypoo: you can chroot and have internet on the os10:51
tiffypoo?10:51
proxx_tiffypoo  if you know exactly which packages you need you can just download them from the repo and install with dpkg10:51
EriC^^tiffypoo: stop at step 11 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot10:52
EriC^^you'll be in the os with internet access and you can run apt-get and stuff10:52
proxx_^that would be the fancy method :)10:52
tiffypoobut my drive dosnt have internet, how do i download anything10:53
EriC^^tiffypoo: you boot the os that has internet, and then access the other os from there10:53

DJonesSirJoker21: I would suggest 16.04 which is a long term support release (5 years of support) or 16.10, but with that you'll have to upgrade to 17.04 withing a few months.14:06

proxx_poorUser Well tiny speed increase for just a desktop is fun but barely noticeable, I suggest you point NetworkManager to an upstream server , use the GUI or nmcli for that14:06

WirehunterPaoloP, Boot your pc into ubuntu using legacy mode. I think that should do it.14:10
PaoloPWirehunter: it's an old pc14:10
PaoloPit doesn't have legacy mode, I think14:10
PerePany expert in shell / init scripts / services?14:11
PaoloPbut I obtain: "the grub-pc package failed to install into /target/"14:11
PerePI have a custom init.d script I've made that is doing anything when I try to run it and I don't know why14:11
sunkistPereP: have you tried running it with bash -x ?14:12
PerePno sunkist, no idea; what is that?14:13
PerePI was trying with sudo systemctl start my-script14:13
WirehunterPaoloP, It shouldn't install in uefi mode if the computer doesn't have uefi.14:13
sunkistRun `bash -x /etc/init.d/yourscript.sh' and it will show you the commands bash is running (and which command gets executed last)14:13
PaoloPWirehunter: I agree. but I don't understand what to try14:13
PaoloPWirehunter: it stops the installation at this step14:13
PerePoh, I see, sunkist14:14
sunkistI've got xenial, trying to debug a DNS issue.  It appears that Network manager is telling dnsmasq what resolvers to use by sending it a message over DBUS.  I want to intercept this message or somehow determine which resolvers dnsmasq is trying to use.14:15
sunkistI tried dbus-monitor but it is only monitoring signals, not messages14:15
WirehunterPaoloP, I doubt that the issue has anything to do with uefi, Why do you think that might cause the issue?14:16
PaoloPWirehunter: I doubt too. but given it's an old PC, I thought so...14:17
PaoloPwhat could I do? should I try 16.04 ?14:17
PaoloPI tried 16.1014:17
Dreaman16.04 is lts14:18
Dreamanlonge time support14:18
ioriaPaoloP, it is Lubuntu or Ubuntu 16.10 ?14:18
Dreaman5 years14:18
PaoloPioria: lubuntu14:18
PerePsunkist: when trying to run the script with that method, it seems to do what it's meant to do14:18
_ramohi14:19
ioriaPaoloP, ok, are you connected to internet during the installation process ?  and did you select updates ?14:19
PerePbut it won't when run via bash -x14:19
PaoloPioria: no, not connected (I have to set dhcp in the router)14:19
PerePit's mean to run via systemtl start / stop14:19
PerePsystemctl, sorry14:19
PaoloPioria: should I connect during installation?14:20
sunkistPereP: does systemctl complain?14:20
ioriaPaoloP, yes, and select 'Updates while installing'14:20
_ramoi've installed on a ubuntu 16.04   mesos, which installed python2.7 but placed it in a non-standard folder.  i want to install zabbix-agent on the same machine right now, but the package manager is confused and I don't know what to do :).14:20
_ramowhat i'm doing is here: https://pastebin.com/hCbuvrVU14:20
ioriaPaoloP, i think it's a bug in the lubuntu 16.10 installer14:20
_ramodoes anyone have a hint what to do?14:20
PaoloPioria: many thnks14:20
PerePand to be run automatically on start when proved to be working14:20
ioriaPaoloP, good luck14:21
PaoloPok let's try14:21
PerePsunkist: in the current form it doesn't complain, because actually my script consist of only a few echoes14:21
Wirehunterioria, PaoloP, Ah, yes. I found that too just now. Good luck.14:21
PaoloPthnks ioria Wirehunter14:22
PerePwhen run by systemctl it outputs nothing14:22
PerePPaoloP, do you realize that you copied my nick style? xD14:22
PaoloPPereP: lo14:22
PaoloPLOL14:22
_ramoand the problem is, that mesos requires python2.7 at this place: /usr/lib/python2.7/14:24
sunkistPereP: does `systemctl status your.service' tell you anything?14:25
PerePlooking at it, sunkist14:29
sunkistPerep, if your script literally only contains the "echo" command, then your script should have halted, and systemctl status will reflect that14:29
PerePsorry sunkist, it contained running another script as a different user, but I commented it out to debug14:32
PerePand put the echoes in14:32
sunkistPereP: if you want to see your program's output, check the journalctl command, I think `journalctl your.service'14:32

PerePikevin, sunkist: my aim is to run an script that starts tomcat - I need to do it under a certain user because some environment vars, like $HOME for that user, are used14:40
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
PerePikevin, sunkist: but also, as tomcat needs to be run with root permissions in order to write logs, etc., in certain directories, I run it (under that user) with sudo14:41
PerePthat way it works as intended when run "manually"; what I'm missing is how to translate that "environment" into an init script14:41
WirehunterSince I've installed 16.10, NetworkManager is behaving really bad. My usb network interface doesn't get recognized and my wifi connection suddenly drops out after a while.  If I want to use the usb network interface, I have to put it up though ifconfig and I have to put my own nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf. What should I do?14:42
ikevinPereP, you can define env var with systemd to if it's your problem14:43
PerePikevin: do you mean define an env var with the user home path?14:44
ikevinPereP, yes, like Environment=HOME=/what/you/want14:45
=== user_ is now known as akis
PerePikevin: I'm not sure if that will work... maybe other "attributes" of the user are needed by the script; I don't really know at all14:46
PerePin the example they provide, they explicitly say to run the script as that example_user, with a su14:47
akishi all. could you please explain me whta is the difference between to install firefox add-on-extension 'uBlock Origin' or to install package: 'xul-ext-ublock-origin 1.6.6+dfsg-1'. I tried to be advised from here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#firefox--firefox-for-android but i need some more help.14:47
ikevinPereP, you can "source /etc/profile" (or any other script) from your own script14:48
brunch875how do I figure out which package installed some other package?14:52
PerePthanks ikevin but it seems beyond of my understanding today14:52
ioriabrunch875, you can try with  aptitude why package14:53
brunch875ioria: aptitude isn't installed though14:54
PerePcurrently looking at the docs14:54
brunch875ioria: good hint though, could google 'aptitude why apt' and found the soulution :p14:55
ioriabrunch875, ok14:55
PerePI don't understand why "source" could be useful in my case14:56
brunch875if you're curious, apt-cache rdpends --installed <package> shows it14:56
PereP"Read and execute commands from the filename argument in the current shell context"... but it's meant to run on init...14:56
ikevinPereP, like when you open a terminal, some env var are defined by some script like /etc/profile , /etc/bashrc, ...14:56
ioriabrunch875, those  are  the reverse deps14:57
EriC^^brunch875: nice14:57
brunch875yeah, figured out youtube-dl installed mvp14:58
brunch875it sounds like a weird dependency but oh well14:58
ioriabrunch875, if you rdepends xchat, for example, you'll find xubuntu-desktop (not installed)14:58
PerePbut if it's run at startup, I don't get what would be the "current shell"14:58
EriC^^ioria: yes he put the --installed flag, nice one14:59
ioriaEriC^^, ah14:59
ikevinPereP, current shell whill be what you define on your script (like #!/bin/bash would be bash)14:59

PerePikevin: I'll try to reformulate my question15:12
PerePcurrently I run a script under a certain user, but do so with: su myscript.sh15:13
PerePI'd run that script at startup under the same circumstances15:13
PerePmy assumption is that scripts on /etc/init.d are run as root... so I need a way (an script) that, being run at startup (as root?), it would emulate being run by a certain user, and what that user would be doing would be a "sudo myscript.sh"15:15
PereP[17:13] <PereP> currently I run a script under a certain user, but do so with: su myscript.sh ---> the right command is sudo myscript.sh15:16
akikPereP: a simple way to do it is to put it into /etc/rc.local15:18
akikPereP: su - user -c script15:19

Azulflameif you set a password using "passwd user", it'll be available for new logins immediatly18:39
Azulflamebut shouldn't kick you off if you are already logged in18:39
Azulflameso you can set your password to 'hunter2', change console and log in immediatly using 'hunter2'18:40
blackflowAzulflame: this is about resetting password from recovery boot mode, which means the user is rebooting back into default mode18:42
AzulflameI'm assumming you aren't the person above trying to reset it on an encrypted install18:43
blackflowAzulflame: nope, bivo is18:43
Azulflamebut once you've got a root shell, mount and cd your way to the Linux root, and mount any appropriate folders (/dev/sdXY to /home, etc) if needed18:44
Azulflamethen $ chroot .18:44
Azulflamesorry, # chroot .18:44
Azulflameand # passwd <your username>18:44
Azulflameand reset your password18:44
Azulflamethen you're good to exit chroot, reboot, and login18:45

moracabanas1Hi I need to convert initrd.img to .lz for custom Ubuntu 16.04 live cd. I follow official tutorial but it replaces the initrd.ils with .img one and Ubuntu is expecting .lv18:46
Azulflamemoracabanas1, for bootloader or for a live image?18:46
moracabanas1for a live cd image18:46
Azulflamedo you have a windows PC?18:47
moracabanas1both Ubuntu VM and Windows18:47
Azulflameusing Windows (since Ubuntu can't dd them properly sometimes), use Win32DiskImager, select your flash drive, select the .img file, and burn them18:47
=== zzz is now known as Guest67675
Azulflamethe .img needs to be burned onto the flash drive / cd, not just placed on it18:47
moracabanas1@Azulflame sorry I know how to burn the Live img. I am modifing the live cd kernel and to do so I change the vmlinuz.efi and initrd.lz but my custom kernel initrd is in img and I need it in .lz18:50
Azulflamethat I can't help you with. Good luck finding someone who does18:51
crCr62U0Hello18:52
Azulflamesup crCr62U018:52
moracabanas1@Azulflame Thanks you so much anyway :)18:52
crCr62U0I've deleted /etc/nginx folder, but i have one before. apt-get install --reinstall nginx Doesn't help18:52
crCr62U0am i right that i should force apt-get to rewrite package folder in /etc?18:53
naccmoracabanas1: you are making this all rather complicated. Just change the bootloader config on your live USB to point to the correct files18:53
naccmoracabanas1: in any case, the ubuntu initrds are gzipped. You would need to gunzip them and then compress it to whatever you need (what is .lz, do you mean .lzma?)18:54
naccmoracabanas1: ah, lzip?18:54
crCr62U0ty for useless support.18:56
moracabanas1@nacc don't know about the extension. The "casper" folder contains kernel in vmlinuz.efi and initrd.lz. I am following the official customization guide who suggest to cp your kernel overwritting those files and it doesnt work18:56

moracabanas1@nacc but if I overwritte my custom initrd is .img and booting into liveCD tells me about missing initrd.lz. Kernel panic if i rename it .img->lz because can't uncompress lz becaise it's img. So i need to uncompress .img and recompress it as lzip. isn't it?19:02
sheapseems like a useful thing to put on the EOL page instead of going through mailing lists19:02

tomreynGuest29453: yes!21:21
k1l_Sambom: what do you mean? can you explain a bit more?21:21
SambomI used it to create a LVM and EXT4 partition, and I found it very simple and got a good overview.  I have the Ubuntu Server installed.21:23
=== mint is now known as testing__
tomreynSambom: maybe gparted would make you happy, but i'm not even sure whether it lets you configure lvm21:26
tomreynit's better to just learn how to use the tools 'properly', namely froma command line. just run lvs and mkfs.ext4 with --help for starters, or read their man pages.21:27
kenrinThe disks utility includes lvm21:27
kenrinAssuming he is on gnome|unity21:28
tomreynoh that's graphical, too, right21:28
SambomNo Graphical UI, so thats why I asked for the semi-graphical UI from the installation... But Its OK, I'll do the commandline :)21:29
tomreyni'm not aware of text graphics / ncurses frontend for this purpose21:30
kenrinThere is not.  I just tested system-config-lvm to see what the interface looks like21:30

sebsebsebWindows ?22:06
Meadit will be a flavor of linux,  likely ubuntu server, but right now I am using ubuntu desktop live because server doesn't support running live from install media22:07
sebsebsebMead: Ubuntu server what why?  and that really is for well servers, and  it has no graphical user interface as well22:08
naccMead: or maybe `sudo find /sys -name iommu_group`22:08
naccMead: looking into the kernel code, it shoudl be creating symlinkks if it prints the messages you showed22:08
sebsebsebMead: I would suggest learning with UBuntu desktop, so Ubuntu and with a graphical user interface, you can get nicely into Linux that wya22:08
sebsebsebMead: you can run servers from the desktop version as well22:08

Meadsebsebseb: I'm trying to virtualize a bunch of hosts to add to my network lab with hardware access to the interfaces so I can plug each one in to either a router or switch independantly.22:14

Meadand when I'm not doing lab work I'm gonna want to play games on another guest OS (or two) with hardware access to gpu's.  SO I'm really trying to set up all kinds of crazy.  But this is how  I learn.22:17
sebsebsebMead: uhmm generally 3D gaming does not work so welll in any virtual machine software!22:17
naccMead: GPU passthru is still pretty new (afaik)22:17
sebsebsebMead: also vm's aren't really for gaming in general22:17
k1lsebsebseb: that is why he wants passtrhough his gpu etc.22:17
naccMead: and you have multiple GPUs, then?22:18
sebsebseb nacc and experimental, and not so feature compelte, or mostly ok, well I guess Mead will find out either way :d22:18
naccMead: sorry mean to say , virtualized GPUs is still pretty new, passthru is what you'd have to do, but requires multiple physical cards22:18
Meadif it doesn't work that well, I could always just boot baremetal into windows.  So I'm not that concerned.22:18

truelaikenrin, any idea when that documentation is from?23:12

Meadnacc:  I'm old hand at DOS but I  can't find my own (insert rude word for male genitalia) when using linux cli.  "Bash -x" followed by what?23:15
truelaiThat's what this is about. Questioning the format from a current persepctive23:15
naccMead: let's say your script is 'test.sh' then run `bash -x test.sh`23:16
Meadok, so it needs the file name23:16
naccor whatever you are using23:16
nacc you can also change the shebang in the script23:17
kenrinThe way you wrote it and the way listed is almost exactly the same though.  Only you used CIDR notation23:17

ubottuMuhammad_: 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 !patience23:25
naccMead: you really probably are biting off more than you can chew if you don't know how to run scripts23:25
naccMead: VMs are not 'trivial' to manage and configure23:25
naccMead: particularly the way you were describing it23:25
kenrinsure they are nacc,  just not passthrough23:25
nacckenrin: do you know the context for Mead's issue?23:26
kenrinyes23:26
nacckenrin: ok23:26
nacckenrin: Mead specifically wants to passthru23:26
nacckenrin: you're right, though, VMs are trivial, i shoudl have said for Mead's use case23:26
k1li think the multi VM setup sounds like he is going to learn a lot :)23:26
=== Epx998- is now known as Epx998
nacckenrin: but if someone doesn't know how to run a bash script, i think managing multiple VMs is a huge leap23:27
naccsmaller first steps would be more productive IMO23:27
Meadsmaller steps?  LIke what?23:27
nacc!manual | Mead23:27
ubottuMead: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/23:27
Epx998On ubuntu 14 - does a unattended installer not accept ks=blah.cfg to run debian stuff, all almost to be via preseed/blah.cfg with d-i options?23:27
kenrinHate to be conscending,  but like learning the shell23:27
nacc!terminal | Mead23:27
ubottuMead: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. In Unity or GNOME, search the dash for "terminal" and press ENTER. Other desktops: Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal (MATE), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal23:28
naccMead: etc.23:28
naccMead: again, just my opinion -- but you're going to be hitting relatively trivial issues like this all the time if you don't have the basic sysadmin-y knowledge23:28
Mead...  like heck I need to learn how to "surf the web" again23:28
MeadI learn by doing.23:30
Didact69I think was I here earlier23:32
naccMead: the manual has a bunch of stuff23:32
naccMead: as i said, just my opinion, but not knowing how to run a script is a major red flag (to me)23:32
naccMead: good luck in your endeavor23:32
MeadI've never had a reason to learn before23:33
kenrinIs there an http manual available ?  or is it just a download23:34
kk4ewtman apache223:35
kenrinEr I meant for the ubuntu manual23:35
kenrinI just hate pdf23:36
kk4ewtman apache2 isnt a pdf23:36
nacckenrin: apache's website is pretty useful too23:36
kenrinI can't word things properly.  I was looking at the ubuntu-manual.org but wanted a web based version23:37
Didact69ok, well at least we got that much23:41
Capum321hello23:44
nacckenrin: there is also server guide23:46
Didact69I guess I'm looking for a good user guide on doing nat on 16.0423:46
Capum321i am uninstalling mono packages and some libs got broken 'E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'23:47
Didact69like should I use UFW? or just iptables?23:48

spotterand I can't seem to figure out why23:51
spotter~/Downloads that is23:52
AnnoyedGreetings. Question about the Ubuntu software package manegment tool on 16.04 LTS ver. 2 ... previously, 14.04 for example, you could select an option to show geeky stuff like IRC clients, sshd and other techie bits. Has that been removed from the current version?23:54
Delvienspotter do you have ~/Downloads mounted on a different drive?23:56
spotterDelvien, hmm, its visible as an smb mount23:57
