[00:11] <hfp> Hi, 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? It

[00:33] <Rakko> When 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] <Rakko> I 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 head
[00:36] <omenius> I'm trying to resize my partition as I extended my logical volume, but I'm getting confusing results with fdisk
[00:37] <omenius> https://paste.ubuntu.com/24271280/
[00:38] <omenius> maybe I should to the new partition to *-part1?
[00:39] <omenius> nah, "$ sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/omenius--vg-omenius0-part1" does not work either
[00:41] <omenius> I think it's the partition itself, so that's why *-part1 won't even open with fdisk

[00:54] <maddawg4> hey 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 full
[00:54] <maddawg4> but i'm really confused as to how that's possible
[00:55] <maddawg4> as it says there are over 800GB free
[00:55] <bazhang>  maddawg4 did you have some extra kernels in there that you could remove
[00:55] <maddawg4> not sure bazhang
[00:55] <maddawg4> how do i know?
[00:55] <wafflejock> ^^ try, sudo apt autoremove
[00:55] <wedgie> maddawg4: do you have a seperate /boot patition? it could be full
[00:55] <Rakko> When 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] <maddawg4> wedgie ah yea in df -h it does show a seperate boot partition
[00:55] <bazhang> maddawg4, try autoremove
[00:56] <wafflejock> maddawg4, 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 is
[00:56] <wafflejock> when in there can hit D to delete but be careful if running it as root
[00:57] <maddawg4> wedgie how do i browse to the boot partition
[00:57] <wedgie> cd /boot
[00:57] <maddawg4> i see just my root partition
[00:57] <wedgie> maddawg4: and as the others have said, you probably just need to remove a few old kernel versions
[00:57] <bazhang> use the package manager for that
[00:57] <maddawg4> yea i'm doig the autoremove right now
[00:57] <wedgie> keeping 1 or 2 old versions around is a good idea in case an update breaks something, but more than that is generally unnecessary
[00:58] <maddawg4> it'll free up 2GB
[00:58] <wedgie> 2 GB will fit a lot of kernels :P
[00:58] <maddawg4> actually it says 200MB i guess
[00:59] <maddawg4> the whole size of the /boot is like  452M
[00:59] <maddawg4> 472MB actually
[00:59] <maddawg4> then my / is 96TB
[01:00] <maddawg4> oh no that's my iscsi target
[01:00] <maddawg4> not my /

[01:45] <newcoder> That was UTF-16: 0x26B5 , utf16 , but UTF-8: 0xE2 0x9A 0xB5 , so how can I type 0xE2 0x9A 0xB5 ?

[01:48] <minces> i need help
[01:49] <Jonno_FTW> minces: okay please ask your question
[01:49] <newcoder> osaka_unicode is not available from preference
[01:49] <Jonno_FTW> you might have to install it
[01:49] <newcoder> Any other unicode will work?
[01:49] <minces> My wifi only starts when I log in, how do I connect it without logging in? Only when you turn on the computer
[01:49] <Jonno_FTW> idk

[01:51] <Jonno_FTW> no
[01:51] <newcoder> How?
[01:51] <minces> And how do I start my pc without starting X?

[01:52] <minces> And how do I start my pc without starting X?
[01:52] <Jonno_FTW> minces: you'd have to use grub, I'mnot sure
[01:52] <newcoder> Jonno_FTW: What will be the keyword to search?
[01:52] <Jonno_FTW> font
[01:52] <minces> ;/
[01:53] <Jonno_FTW> you can always add a systemd entry to connect the wifi

[01:53] <minces> any idea ?
[01:54] <Jonno_FTW> idk
[01:57] <Jonno_FTW> newcoder: https://github.com/edubkendo/.dotfiles/raw/master/.fonts/osaka.unicode.ttf
[01:58] <Jonno_FTW> I have no idea where i got it from originally
[01:59] <newcoder> I don't think, it's font related problem
[01:59] <Jonno_FTW> it's a nice font regardless
[02:00] <minimec> newcoder: I never changed my default fonts in Ubuntu, and I can type any unicode sign I want. You don't need to change your font.
[02:00] <newcoder> gedit shows unicode characters but not in terminal
[02:01] <newcoder> So I don't think, it's font related problem
[02:01] <newcoder>  Something not working in terminal
[02:03] <Jonno_FTW> are you using gnome terminal?
[02:04] <Rakko> When 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.
[02:04] <newcoder> gnome-terminal
[02:06] <minimec> Rakko: 'sudo apt install checkinstall'. Then the normal compiling stuff with one difference... './configure' 'make' 'sudo checkinstall'
[02:07] <Jonno_FTW> newcoder: do you get a box instead of a star with a bar beneath it?
[02:14] <newcoder> Jonno_FTW: Can you output echo $TERM?
[02:15] <oneskres> hi. I just installed Ubuntu. and I don't like nouveau. so I changed to nVidia. but now, when I reboot, it goes black screen. when I go to recovery mode, then resume boot as normal, it works normal. how can fixing?
[02:15] <minimec> newcoder: In my gnome-terminal... xterm-256color
[02:16] <Jonno_FTW> newcoder: it says xterm
[02:17] <Rakko> http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html <- there was a subdomain ebay.sun.com?
[02:17] <minimec> oneskres: 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] <Rakko> oops, wrong channel
[02:17] <oneskres> thank you, I will try!
[02:18] <Rakko> minimec: I know about checkinstall; that's not what I'm talking about.
[02:18] <minimec> oneskres: I have a gtx1060 and had the same problem...
[02:18] <newcoder> minimec: Where did you set xterm-256color?
[02:18] <Rakko> Back 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.
[02:19] <minimec> newcoder: Default settings... Never did any change...
[02:20] <Rakko> I mean, checkinstall might do what I want, but it isn't the specific avenue I'm thinking of.
[02:20] <Rakko> As it is, I just have this module tarball, which unpacks into a modules/ directory, and I have no idea how to even build it.
[02:22] <oneskres> @minimec hi.. it didn't work. the same thing happened, and monitor says "no signal."
[02:23] <oneskres> I have nVidia GeForce gtx 650
[02:23] <minimec> oneskres: Did you 'sudo update-grub'? The line should work. I use it here and had the exact same problem as you describe...
[02:24] <oneskres> oh.. I didn't
[02:24] <oneskres> I try now
[02:25] <oneskres> it worked! thanks so much!
[02:26] <minimec> oneskres: ;)

[02:59] <minimec> gzhechu: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure cups' maybe?
[03:01] <wastrel> MasterScript: sudo apt install openssh-server

[03:03] <gzhechu> when I reinstall cpus, it reports: "cups : Depends: libcups2 (= 2.1.3-4) but 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 is to be installed", what does this means.

[03:08] <gzhechu> I checked my system, the version 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 has already installed.

[06:11] <smellsLikeGoatSp> hello everyone,
[06:12] <smellsLikeGoatSp> I 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. I like the possibility to map keys given by ubuntu-xboxdrv and I am not sure it is going to be as intuitive using xboxdrv instead

[07:10] <Snowie> Hi all. Is instruction here for creating a persistent live usb still valid? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[07:10] <Snowie> If I simply use Startup Disk Creator on 16.04, will it be persistent?
[07:10] <cfhowlett> no, Snowie

[07:13] <Snowie> cfhowlett: I'm assuming that's an answer to both questions. Does ubuntu support creating a live usb and are their instructions anywhere? I always look for ubuntu recommended methods first, so I was surprised there wasn't something more up to date that covered it
[07:13] <sebsebseb> hi
[07:13] <lotuspsychje> sebsebseb: welcome, how can we help you?
[07:13] <chorizo> omg
[07:14] <cfhowlett> Snowie, startup disk creator will create a live USB without persistence.  you can create persistence with post creation

[07:21] <el> hi, 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 come
[07:21] <marko991> is it safe to use pale moon instead of firefox ?
[07:22] <el> checking /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] <el> mdadm --detail /dev/md0 shows a raid0 (instead of raid1) with 1 device
[07:22] <el> gnome-disk shows a raid-1
[07:23] <el> this 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 degraded
[07:23] <M_> hello
[07:24] <el> any ideas why mdadm shows a different raid level then gnome-disk?
[07:25] <M_> What are you talking about
[07:25] <cfhowlett> M_, topic here = ubuntu support.  chitchat/jibberjabber >>> #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:26] <selckin> el: you could have multiple mdadm metadata's on the disk in the differend versions
[07:26] <selckin> el: be carefull rebuilding with the wrong version will lose your data
[07:26] <vlt> Hello. 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 with
[07:26] <el> sudo mdadm --msic -E /dev/sdb1 (the ramaining raid disk) shows a raid1 which 2 devices - which is the expected raid type
[07:26] <vlt> working and not woring colors: http://termbin.com/bj1f
[07:26] <ubottu> Mozilla 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]
[07:27] <vlt> Any idea what happened?
[07:27] <el> selckin: yes i am aware of the danger in this situation. I am now wondering what to do.
[07:27] <el> selckin: one option is adding a new empty disk to the md device and see what happens - but this feels dangerous too
[07:29] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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.
[07:30] <cfhowlett> Snowie, yep, and update sounds in order.
[07:30] <el> selckin: do you know by chance a way to mount a single raid disk manually to see the data the disk contains?
[07:31] <selckin> el: 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 sometimes
[07:32] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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-persistent
[07:33] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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?
[07:34] <cfhowlett> Snowie, 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 page
[07:34] <cfhowlett> i.e. edit the wiki or copy the current wiki, make a new one with the corrections
[07:36] <cfhowlett> Snowie, 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-creator
[07:40] <vlt> Could libcolord-gtk1 be responsible for rendering a CSS styled background-color of an element in Firefox?
[07:43] <finexbeer> maybe
[07:43] <ikevin> vlt, you maybe have reply in mozilla IRC
[07:46] <finexbeer> who can i cancel the cache from my pc??
[07:46] <cfhowlett> errrr, you mean How? perhaps finexbeer ?
[07:46] <finexbeer> yes
[07:47] <finexbeer> how can I cancel the cache from my pc
[07:47] <cfhowlett> finexbeer, sudo apt clean
[07:47] <finexbeer> thanks
[07:48] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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] <Snowie> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/mkusb
[07:49] <cfhowlett> Snowie, my very personal preference would be to use the command in option > make the USB with startup-disk-creator then cli to add persistence
[07:50] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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 start
[07:50] <finexbeer> when they relic the ubuntu 17.04??
[07:51] <Snowie> I would just be tinkering til i hit something that worked for me, but couldn't know if that was the right answer
[07:51] <cfhowlett> Snowie, if the only diff is casper rather than casper-rw ... I'm not in a position to test this at the moment
[07:52] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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] <cfhowlett> Snowie,  you, sir, are a prince amongst men!
[07:55] <Snowie> cfhowlett: haha, thanks, and I'm definately gunna have to pick it up now, because the mkusb one wouldn't boot, lol
[07:55] <cfhowlett> Snowie, time to do testing - for science!
[07:56] <Snowie> cfhowlett: 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.

[08:04] <azx> when i try to extract a group of rar archives using archieve manager, i get "invalid PPM sequence" error
[08:04] <azx> why? on windows using winrar it works fine
[08:05] <damiano> hello guys i am using a dell inspiron laptop and i am having problem with the window.. please take a look at this image http://imgur.com/a/PaLjU
[08:05] <damiano> are you can see the borders of the windows are very strange
[08:06] <damiano> what can it be?
[08:09] <Snowie> damiano: having the same issue at the moment, so i'll be keeping an eye on your resolution. Havn't bothered fixing it yet
[08:12] <damiano> Snowie, should i change the resolution?
[08:12] <damiano> i also have to change the contrast but using xgamma does not affect anything :(
[08:13] <Snowie> damiano: Not sure. I have the same problem on my 16.04 desktop, not quite as bad as yours. I had assumed it was my theme and i havn't started troubleshooting it yet, so I don't know of any causes or fixes sorry. Just letting you know your not alone
[08:13] <damiano> grrr
[08:13] <damiano> Snowie, i also need to change the contrast
[08:13] <damiano> how can i do?
[08:14] <Blueking> what are command to see what's active linux image ?
[08:18] <ikevin> Blueking, uname -a
[08:18] <Blueking> ah that it was :)
[08:20] <Blueking> ikevin  TY :)
[08:21] <Blueking> wish I could increase /boot partition :/
[08:22] <Blueking> some told me I can move pretty much from /boot/efi to /boot ?
[08:23] <damiano> Snowie, are you here?
[08:24] <damiano> noueveu graphic driver seems to fix the problem
[08:25] <Akishona> hi guys! short question: are someone here using ssd disks in your pcs?
[08:25] <wewlad> hello. I have sound not working on ubuntu.
[08:27] <Akishona> if so,  do you have swap partition on it? is it recommended to have a swap partition on ssd >
[08:28] <ikevin> Akishona, i use ssd and don't use swap on it
[08:28] <wewlad> it looks like the problem is in pulseaudio wrongly defining what port I plug the jack in
[08:28] <wewlad> because I am plugging into front panel socket
[08:28] <ikevin> Akishona, recommended, yes and no, if you want a fast swap then yes, if you want to save your sdd then no
[08:29] <wewlad> and it doesn't show up in the list of output devices
[08:29] <Akishona> ikevin: i see
[08:29] <wewlad> yet I've managed to trick it once by plugging the headphones into back panel first
[08:29] <Akishona> ikevin: thank you for the answer
[08:29] <ikevin> you welcome
[08:30] <wewlad> welp, nevermind
[08:30] <wewlad> it now detects that correctly, sound works
[08:30] <wewlad> problem solved, thank you
[08:30] <Akishona> any advice on the brand?
[08:30] <ducasse> Akishona: new ssd drives are not as vulnerable as the old generations. how much memory does your pc have?
[08:31] <Akishona> ducasse: 3GB ram
[08:31] <damiano> https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/a11y-contrast.html
[08:31] <damiano> should i reboot after this?
[08:31] <gajasurve> any idea how i can find which database is installed in ubuntu? i wanna know which one is currently in use.. like sql mysql mariadb or mongodb
[08:32] <Akishona> it's a old laptop
[08:32] <ducasse> Akishona: 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.
[08:33] <azx> when i double click an iso, it will mount it and open it in a folder
[08:33] <azx> how do i mount it in command line?
[08:34] <niggard> sup, boontoo
[08:34] <niggard> I've got a zombie process that refuses to die, what do I do with it?
[08:34] <hateball> azx: mount -t loop file.iso ~/somedir
[08:34] <Akishona> ducasse: yes. thats why i asked
[08:34] <hateball> azx: sorry, it's mount -o, not mount -t
[08:35] <hateball> fat fingers
[08:35] <algorys> Hello #ubuntu :)
[08:35] <Akishona> i guess i will have to put some additional ram in order to give up to swap partition
[08:35] <ducasse> Akishona: we can't tell you what is right for you. i swap to one of my ssds and don't worry much about it.
[08:35] <algorys> I want to know if someone has problem to update this morning ? on  fr.archive.ubuntu.com (194.158.119.190) ?
[08:36] <Akishona> ducasse: of course. just asking for figure out what to do
[08:36] <ikevin> <hateball> fat fingers <== very fat fingers ! lol
[08:37] <Blueking> this are setup now  sda1  512MB  type part  /boot/efi ,   sda2  244MB type part /boot    /boot/efi  always been at 1%  (not beeing used?)  and /boot fills up fast with linux updates/images  I want to reduce size of /boot/efi to increase /boot    are this doable ?   how ?
[08:41] <hateball> ikevin: fat brain is probably more accurate :)
[08:42] <damiano> pardon guys i see nothing change using xcalib
[08:42] <damiano> is not the correct way to set the contrst ?
[08:46] <algorys> it seems  fr.archive.ubuntu.com (194.158.119.190) is down :(
[08:47] <k1l_> algorys: then change mirrors in the systen settings
[08:47] <algorys> k1l_: I put us.archive.ubuntu.com instead ?
[08:48] <k1l_> algorys: you can use the system settings > software and updates. it has a meu for changing the mirrors easily
[08:48] <ikevin> http://bouyguestelecom.ubuntu.lafibre.info/ubuntu/ seems down to

[08:49] <ikevin> oh, this is the same server :x
[08:50] <Blueking> resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sda1
[08:50] <Blueking> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[08:50] <Blueking> uhm...  bad magic number  .. uh..
[08:51] <EriC^^> Blueking: what are you trying to do?
[08:51] <Blueking> reduce size of /boot/efi
[08:52] <EriC^^> why?
[08:52] <Blueking> I need to move to /boot
[08:53] <EriC^^> why?
[08:53] <EriC^^> why make a separate /boot?
[08:53] <algorys> ok, I change to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and tht's done :)
[08:53] <ikevin> moving /boot/efi/* to /boot maybe broke your system
[08:53] <Blueking> now /boot/efi  511MB  always always always at 1%    /boot 244MB fills up fast ..
[08:54] <Blueking> not moving files...
[08:54] <EriC^^> Blueking: oh ok, why do you have 244mb /boot ? is it lvm?
[08:54] <k1l_> /boot should clean old kernels when running apt autoremove
[08:54] <Simooon> everytime 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 btw
[08:54] <Blueking> but reduce /boot/efi partition and  use free space to increase /boot partition
[08:54] <Simooon> )
[08:55] <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] <ducasse> Blueking: you can't resize the efi partition with resize2fs, because it's fat32
[08:55] <Blueking> k1l_ apt autoremove doesn't remove old kernels  need to use purge for that
[08:55] <Simooon> k1l_, okay, do you know if it is gone in the newer releases?
[08:55] <k1l_> Blueking: it does. what ubuntu are you using exactly?
[08:56] <Blueking> ubuntu 16.04
[08:56] <k1l_> so apt autoremove works
[08:56] <Blueking> it seems system keep 4 image versions
[08:57] <k1l_> no it doesnt. it keeps the most recent 2 kernels.
[08:57] <k1l_> except you changed stuff manually.
[08:57] <Blueking> I havn't
[08:57] <Blueking> tho upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04 if that matters
[08:58] <k1l_> Blueking: ls -al /boot | nc termbin.com 9999
[08:58] <Blueking> ducasse  are there ways to resize fat32 partition ?
[08:59] <k1l_> show the url please in here
[08:59] <ducasse> Blueking: i doubt it, you may need to backup files, resize partition, reformat as fat32 and restore files
[08:59] <Blueking> ok
[08:59] <Simooon> k1l_, anyway thanks, I will probably upgrade to 17.04 when it comes out regardless :-)
[09:00] <ducasse> Blueking: at which point you also need to update grub and efi firmware vars, since the uuid will change
[09:00] <Blueking> hmm
[09:00] <Blueking> k1l_  nothing happens ?
[09:01] <xuanwu> .
[09:03] <Blueking> k1l_  ok had to add 9999 in firewall  -> http://termbin.com/cpr0
[09:03] <frosto> Hi
[09:04] <k1l_> Blueking: that is one kernel in /boot only
[09:04] <Blueking> just used purge :P
[09:04] <Blueking> deleted 64 and 67
=== anon is now known as Guest84168
[09:05] <Blueking> now /boot are 29% used
[09:06] <Blueking> before apt autoremove /boot was at 97%    after autoremove   60%   purged 64 and 67   29%
[09:06] <Blueking> uh after autoremove 69%
[09:07] <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 -h
[09:07] <OerHeks> Blueking, normally you would have 2 kernels after autoremove, 70 and 67 .. so i guess something strange is going on.
[09:08] <Blueking> ok, might be some setting when installed  it ?  it's ubuntu 16.04 server version
[09:09] <MoL0ToV> someone can explain to me how to deny all user to pause the default printer?
[09:09] <OerHeks> now you removed 1 kernel too much, no recovery mode possible.
[09:10] <Blueking> have backups
[09:10] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, you need to play with cups policy
[09:10] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, see https://www.cups.org/doc/policies.html (and search for "pause")
[09:10] <MoL0ToV> ikevin, is normal that the default user can pause the printer without authenticate?
[09:10] <Blueking> ok resize fat32 partition   it can't be smaller than 512MB it seems
[09:11] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, it depend of the ubuntu default policies
[09:11] <MoL0ToV> yes, what are the default ubuntu policies?
[09:14] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, by default: Require user @SYSTEM
[09:14] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, and cups doc say: Specifies the group(s) to use for @SYSTEM group authentication. The default contains "admin", "lpadmin", "root", "sys", and/or "system".
[09:15] <ikevin> MoL0ToV, you can override this by defining "SystemGroup <group name>" in your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
[09:16] <ikevin> or changing the value of "require" from @SYSTEM to @OWNER

[09:33] <Browser> Hello, 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?
[09:35] <lotuspsychje> Browser: chipset of your network card? ubuntu version?
[09:38] <proxx_> Browser , how are you so sure its not detected
[09:40] <ducasse> Browser: pastebin output of 'lspci -k' and 'ifconfig -a'
[09:40] <CrazyH> ducasse, how can I tell if I'm running GTK2 or GTK3? I see evidence of both of them being installed on my system
[09:40] <ducasse> CrazyH: you're most likely running both
[09:40] <proxx_> ^
[09:40] <proxx_> some apps have 2 , some 3 , some both

[09:41] <eSa|> Hi, is there a way to run a program from the shell at a certain position of the screen?
[09:42] <proxx_> eSa| a CLI tool or a GUI ? ?
[09:42] <CrazyH> ducasse, 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_: cli
[09:42] <ikevin> CrazyH, yes, so, just logout/login
[09:43] <Lukker> Hello guys
[09:43] <OerHeks> CrazyH, logout/login i guess to make the change take effect
[09:43] <ducasse> CrazyH: 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 ?
[09:44] <eSa|> proxx_: not really I want the app to be positioned inside the X session
[09:44] <Browser> proxx_: it doesn't appear anything in the connections settings.
[09:44] <Lukker> I 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] <CrazyH> Lukker, env vars for one
[09:44] <proxx_> eSa|; which WM/DE are you running
[09:45] <proxx_> Browser, and what does ifconfig or ip a show ?
[09:45] <Lukker> CrazyH ?
[09:45] <eSa|> i'm with ubuntu
[09:46] <eSa|> proxx_: i'm with ubuntu
[09:46] <Lukker> I 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?
[09:47] <Lukker> ./   or . ./  ?
[09:48] <proxx_> eSa| http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/gnome-shell-make-applications-start-on.html maybe this points you in the right direction
[09:48] <Lukker> Nobody?
[09:49] <proxx_> Lukker, be patient dude
[09:49] <Lukker> ok ok :)
[09:50] <proxx_> I am not sure I understand you first question , the second is ez , ./ means here , ../ means one step down
[09:50] <proxx_> . = current  .. means current-1 :)
[09:53] <CrazyH> Lukker, 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 #bash
[09:53] <eSa|> proxx_: in my case i have a second monitor and i want the program to appear there
[09:54] <Lukker> #bash
[09:54] <CrazyH> ducasse, cat .xinitrc
[09:54] <CrazyH> export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0;
[09:54] <Lukker> i see
[09:54] <CrazyH> ducasse, however, even after a full reboot no changes took effect :-/
[09:55] <proxx_> eSa| , that link has that solution iiuc
[09:55] <Lukker> how do i change to #bash forum?
[09:55] <EriC^^> Lukker: type /join #bash
=== Richard is now known as Guest51538
[09:55] <CrazyH> Lukker,  type '/join #bash'
[09:56] <Lukker> thnks , as  you understand i am new here :)
[09:57] <proxx_> Lukker its fine , welcome
[09:57] <CrazyH> Lukker, no worries. We're all noobs at one time or another
[09:58] <Lukker> :) your help is appreciated though

[10:29] <Browser> Don't know why the network card is not detected at all.
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> Browser: some network cards can be disabled while changing uefi settings also, is this your case?
[10:30] <lotuspsychje> Browser: did you do anything specific lately?
[10:32] <Browser> The hard driver is a copy of one used on another PC. The network card is detected on Ubuntu Live.
[10:33] <lotuspsychje> Browser: yes, but you need to update your system also
[10:33] <k1l_> is that a pc or a laptop?
[10:33] <Browser> pc with touch screen
[10:34] <k1l_> does it have a hardware switch for turning off wifi?
[10:34] <Browser> It has been fixed after restore the bios default settings

[10:35] <flyboy88> join channel
[10:38] <leeyaa> lotuspsychje: i think i forgot to run  update-initramfs -u before

[10:42] <snadge> whats the most memory efficient way to upgrade from 16.10 to 17.04? 2gb ram, celeron cpu netbook.. from console?
[10:43] <proxx_> snadge, well not sure why you care but yes, stop gdm and do it from the TTY
[10:44] <proxx_> and if you really care you could shutdown some more services
[10:44] <snadge> because its going to take a very long time.. i know it.. many hours :p
[10:45] <proxx_> haha , yes there is that ofc :)
[10:45] <tiffypoo> hey guys, im still new to this but is there a way to download a program to a secondary drive?
[10:45] <snadge> yeah so maybe i can make it quicker.. like you say, strip down to bare essentials
[10:46] <proxx_> tiffypoo , in that case you'd better move the  /usr to a different mount point, see fstab for that
[10:46] <proxx_> (assuming you are lacking space on / )
[10:47] <proxx_> @ snadge:  service lightdm stop
[10:47] <tiffypoo> even 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 exactly
[10:48] <proxx_> just download  a pkg and move that ?
[10:50] <tiffypoo> i 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 drives
[10:51] <EriC^^> tiffypoo: you can chroot and have internet on the os
[10:51] <tiffypoo> ?
[10:51] <proxx_> tiffypoo  if you know exactly which packages you need you can just download them from the repo and install with dpkg
[10:52] <EriC^^> tiffypoo: stop at step 11 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot
[10:52] <EriC^^> you'll be in the os with internet access and you can run apt-get and stuff
[10:52] <proxx_> ^that would be the fancy method :)
[10:53] <tiffypoo> but my drive dosnt have internet, how do i download anything
[10:53] <EriC^^> tiffypoo: you boot the os that has internet, and then access the other os from there
[10:54] <proxx_> ^ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot
[10:56] <tiffypoo> ahh ok, one last question, i dont know if im using lvm or bcache lol, is there a way to check?
[10:57] <EriC^^> try sudo parted -l if it says lvm in one of the columns then you are
[10:57] <EriC^^> you probably aren't though
[10:59] <tiffypoo> im not lol thankz
[10:59] <proxx_> not sure why ubuntu didnt switch yet

[11:24] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:25] <proxx_> tiffypoo it doesnt recognize the partition type
[11:25] <proxx_> are you sure that is the correct device
[11:25] <proxx_> *it is
[11:25] <kbob> hello BluesKaj
[11:25] <tiffypoo> yup
[11:26] <BluesKaj> hi kbob
[11:27] <tiffypoo> both drives run ubuntu so im kinda confused myself
[11:28] <proxx_> tiffypoo its weird I agree, if that is the correct partition it could be damaged
[11:28] <tiffypoo> there a way to check for that?
[11:28] <proxx_> check in parted/gparted what the partition schema is supposed to be
[11:29] <proxx_> you could force it to say ext4 , its probably not gonna help but might provide more output
[11:29] <proxx_> also check dmesg
[11:30] <EriC^^> tiffypoo: type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link it gives you here
[11:31] <k1l_> tiffypoo: would be a lot easier if we see that parted output
[11:31] <proxx_> ^sure he is working that right now :)
[11:34] <tiffypoo> g parted says its ext 4, im doing the term bin now
[11:34] <proxx_> oke , mount should detect that but you can ovveride it with the -t flag

[11:44] <EriC^^> tiffypoo: btw on your current os, the swap partition is missing, there's the extended partition but nothing inside it
[11:44] <prod_> will it stay unused while spare?

[13:20] <alau> Hi there! I have a little problem: in my ubuntu 16.04, I'm trying to configure my Wi-fi device through this command line: iwconfig wlp6s0 essid Blucomb key Passwd. I have this result: Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A): invalid argument "Passwd". How come? P.s I can't configure it through a windows manager because i have a problem with the second screen I try to use in place of the first one that is damaged.

[13:21] <proxx_> alau is it wpa2 encrypted ?
[13:21] <sam_wongms25> I downloaded a file seamonkey2.46.tar.bz2 from the internet and extracted it using GUI. It exploded into several directories and many small files. However, none of files have a 'tar' ending and therefore the tar command becomes unusable. Please help.
[13:22] <alau> proxx_: yes
[13:22] <proxx_> alau then you should use wpa_supplicant
[13:22] <OerHeks> davidj,  seen many screens like this, nvidia driver issue, not sure wich one, 367 or 375
[13:23] <alau> proxx_: how to?
[13:23] <proxx_> alau you can create a file with wpa_passphrase , then use supplicant to connect, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant
[13:25] <davidj> @OerHeks Thanks. 375 is what I'm using if my memory serves me correct.
[13:25] <wastrel> sam_wongms25: the gui uncompressed the bz2 and extracted the tar archive.  you don't need to untar
[13:26] <OerHeks> davidj, to check, open synaptic or on comandline:  lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use'
[13:26] <OerHeks> davidj, i would step 1 driver number down
[13:26] <sam_wongms25> wastrel: what should I do next?

[13:55] <apinsv> i am not getting network after booting ubuntu 16.04 server
[13:56] <apinsv> this is a fresh install
[13:56] <proxx_> Scoop7 just disable the other mon and the screens will be replaced ;)
[13:56] <proxx_> *windows
[13:56] <proxx_> whatever
[13:56] <poorUser> If i comment into /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.1.1 and put it nameserver 8.8.8.8 everything begin to work, what might be?
[13:57] <proxx_> poorUser the 127 assumes it runs  a local (caching)dns server
[13:57] <poorUser> yeah
[13:57] <proxx_> you probably dont , so there is why, also /etc/resolv is filled from NetworkManager
[13:58] <poorUser> but it gives answers from nslookup :(
[13:58] <proxx_> So either make sure you have local caching server or use a upstream DNS
[13:58] <poorUser> tnk proxx_

[14:02] <SirJoker21> does ubuntu contain a good amount of drivers or will that part be difficult?
[14:02] <Southern_Gentlem> and install the linux in the free space
[14:03] <Southern_Gentlem> efi and secureboot can make thing fun so backup your data
[14:03] <SirJoker21> recommend any good partitioning software and dual boot software?
[14:03] <proxx_> poorUser oke because NetworkManager will try to overwrite it , did you try setting the thing from NM ?
[14:03] <proxx_> SirJoker21 ubuntu can do all that
[14:03] <Southern_Gentlem> SirJoker21, let the installer handle that
[14:04] <SirJoker21> the ubuntu will even create the partition?
[14:04] <Southern_Gentlem> you didnt need any special software 10 years ago and you still dont

[14:04] <poorUser> proxx_: to direclty add nameservers into nm? not yet. I was just curious about the reason of this funny problem
[14:04] <SirJoker21> ok well last question for now. What version of ubuntu?

[14:10] <Wirehunter> PaoloP, Boot your pc into ubuntu using legacy mode. I think that should do it.
[14:10] <PaoloP> Wirehunter: it's an old pc
[14:10] <PaoloP> it doesn't have legacy mode, I think
[14:11] <PereP> any expert in shell / init scripts / services?
[14:11] <PaoloP> but I obtain: "the grub-pc package failed to install into /target/"
[14:11] <PereP> I have a custom init.d script I've made that is doing anything when I try to run it and I don't know why
[14:12] <sunkist> PereP: have you tried running it with bash -x ?
[14:13] <PereP> no sunkist, no idea; what is that?
[14:13] <PereP> I was trying with sudo systemctl start my-script
[14:13] <Wirehunter> PaoloP, It shouldn't install in uefi mode if the computer doesn't have uefi.
[14:13] <sunkist> Run `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] <PaoloP> Wirehunter: I agree. but I don't understand what to try
[14:13] <PaoloP> Wirehunter: it stops the installation at this step
[14:14] <PereP> oh, I see, sunkist
[14:15] <sunkist> I'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] <sunkist> I tried dbus-monitor but it is only monitoring signals, not messages
[14:16] <Wirehunter> PaoloP, I doubt that the issue has anything to do with uefi, Why do you think that might cause the issue?
[14:17] <PaoloP> Wirehunter: I doubt too. but given it's an old PC, I thought so...
[14:17] <PaoloP> what could I do? should I try 16.04 ?
[14:17] <PaoloP> I tried 16.10
[14:18] <Dreaman> 16.04 is lts

[14:19] <_ramo> hi
[14:19] <ioria> PaoloP, ok, are you connected to internet during the installation process ?  and did you select updates ?
[14:19] <PereP> but it won't when run via bash -x
[14:19] <PaoloP> ioria: no, not connected (I have to set dhcp in the router)
[14:19] <PereP> it's mean to run via systemtl start / stop
[14:19] <PereP> systemctl, sorry
[14:20] <PaoloP> ioria: should I connect during installation?

[14:20] <_ramo> i'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] <_ramo> what i'm doing is here: https://pastebin.com/hCbuvrVU
[14:20] <ioria> PaoloP, i think it's a bug in the lubuntu 16.10 installer

[14:20] <PaoloP> ioria: many thnks
[14:20] <PereP> and to be run automatically on start when proved to be working
[14:21] <ioria> PaoloP, good luck
[14:21] <PaoloP> ok let's try
[14:21] <PereP> sunkist: in the current form it doesn't complain, because actually my script consist of only a few echoes
[14:21] <Wirehunter> ioria, PaoloP, Ah, yes. I found that too just now. Good luck.
[14:22] <PaoloP> thnks ioria Wirehunter
[14:22] <PereP> when run by systemctl it outputs nothing
[14:22] <PereP> PaoloP, do you realize that you copied my nick style? xD
[14:22] <PaoloP> PereP: lo
[14:22] <PaoloP> LOL
[14:24] <_ramo> and the problem is, that mesos requires python2.7 at this place: /usr/lib/python2.7/
[14:25] <sunkist> PereP: does `systemctl status your.service' tell you anything?
[14:29] <PereP> looking at it, sunkist
[14:29] <sunkist> Perep, if your script literally only contains the "echo" command, then your script should have halted, and systemctl status will reflect that
[14:32] <PereP> sorry sunkist, it contained running another script as a different user, but I commented it out to debug
[14:32] <PereP> and put the echoes in
[14:32] <sunkist> PereP: if you want to see your program's output, check the journalctl command, I think `journalctl your.service'

[14:54] <PereP> currently looking at the docs
[14:55] <brunch875> ioria: good hint though, could google 'aptitude why apt' and found the soulution :p
[14:55] <ioria> brunch875, ok
[14:56] <PereP> I don't understand why "source" could be useful in my case

[14:58] <brunch875> it sounds like a weird dependency but oh well
[14:58] <ioria> brunch875, if you rdepends xchat, for example, you'll find xubuntu-desktop (not installed)

[14:59] <EriC^^> ioria: yes he put the --installed flag, nice one
[14:59] <ioria> EriC^^, ah
[14:59] <ikevin> PereP, current shell whill be what you define on your script (like #!/bin/bash would be bash)

[15:13] <PereP> currently I run a script under a certain user, but do so with: su myscript.sh
[15:13] <PereP> I'd run that script at startup under the same circumstances
[15:15] <PereP> my 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"
[15:16] <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.sh
[15:18] <akik> PereP: a simple way to do it is to put it into /etc/rc.local
[15:19] <akik> PereP: su - user -c script
[15:19] <pc-saturnin> hello
[15:20] <PereP> akik: wouldn't that work only when that concrete user log in?
[15:22] <akik> PereP: no. rc.local is run as root
[15:23] <PereP> akik: will take a look at it - but currently I was reading something about start-stop-daemon after some googling...

[16:14] <lotuspsychje> hitman1: the #openssh guys might know that one?
[16:14] <Pici> hitman1: if the other user has an account on your system, then they can use ssh.
[16:16] <octo8> hello, i want to know the biggest 30 folder sizes in my linux vps, using 'du -sh' ... any suggestions?
[16:16] <moracabanas1> hey nacc I asked you yesterday about making live custom Ubuntu and I have it done but I need to change the vmlinuz.efi replaced by a compresed image file for the new kernel and I can't find it on the path suggested
[16:17] <Pici> hitman1: please keep the questions in the channel.  root is not allowed to ssh in by default, and you should keep it that way.  ssh in as a user, and then use sudo to gain root privleges.
[16:18] <hitman1> Pici I will use his account not root one
[16:18] <hitman1> I want to access my friend's terminal (root user). What is the command he needs to type to make ssh available for me ?

[16:19] <hitman1> No I don't have account
[16:19] <OerHeks> octo8, or something like this> du -a /var | sort -n -r | head -n 30  # for the 30 largest folders in /var/

[16:22] <yohello> Hi! What is the differencet between ctl+v and the middle mouse button in pasting copied text? I've notice they don't work the same and it's super confusing
[16:22] <PaoloP> ioria Wirehunter, with the network connection all went ok
[16:22] <PaoloP> thnks
[16:22] <hitman1> after installing openssh-server and making account
[16:22] <hitman1> which command ?
[16:23] <Pici> hitman1: for what?
[16:23] <EriC^^> yohello: ctrl+v is the clipboard, the middle mouse is the highlighted clipboard
[16:23] <ioria> PaoloP, good job
[16:23] <hitman1> to make the connection available for me
[16:23] <yohello> EriC^^: oh so when I do ctrl+v it pastes whatever was copied with ctrl+c, but the middle mouse button only pastes what was highlighted?
[16:24] <Azulflame> yohello, what DE are you using?
[16:24] <Pici> hitman1: if the computer is behind a router, you'll need to port forward port 22 from the router to that computer. Otherwise you don't need to do anything else.
[16:24] <yohello> Azulflame: what what? I'm on Ubuntu 16.10
[16:24] <hitman1> Yes it is behind router
[16:24] <EriC^^> yohello: yeah
[16:25] <Pici> !portforward | hitman1
[16:25] <ubottu> hitman1: For instructions on how to set up port-forwarding (for games, torrents, webservers) see http://portforward.com - also see !firewall
[16:25] <EriC^^> yohello: also shift+insert does the same as middle mouse

[16:25] <octo8> OerHeks: .. i'm using du -h | sort -h | tail -n 20
[16:27] <OerHeks> octo8, that works too, less detailed and just for the 20 biggest folders
[16:27] <Azulflame> what would I need to use to finish an alias with an escape character?  $ alias real='/sample/alias/text\\' ?
[16:27] <octo8> OerHeks: you should use tail not head
[16:28] <OerHeks> octo8, depends how you sort them
[16:29] <kus_ubuntui686> so when I copy something and I go to paste it in the terminal, i get something else. I paste it in the address bar in firefox I get what I want but when I paste it in the terminal I get the wrong thing. So usually I end up doing the wrong thing
[16:29] <kus_ubuntui686> so I need to copy something, paste it in firefox address bar, copy it again and then paste it in terminal. what am I doing wrong?
[16:29] <kus_ubuntui686> why are there two clipboards?
[16:30] <OerHeks> in terminal, ctrl shift + v
[16:30] <kus_ubuntui686> but what is shift insert?
[16:31] <OerHeks> the terminal is protected, one should not easily copy stuff in that.
[16:31] <OerHeks> shift insert is the buffer from your mouse
[16:34] <Pici> kus_ubuntui686: it is stupid, but its sort of a legacy thing that doesn't make sense in today's usage. There are a number of clipboard managers out there that can sync between the two clipboards reducing confusion of what will be pasted.

[18:36] <dhanushesushi> from india
[18:37] <deowna> hi
[18:37] <deowna> Who is on
[18:37] <Southern_Gentlem> 1st
[18:37] <padhu> deowna: what you want?
[18:38] <Azulflame> blackflow, do you mean in a console? (Control+Alt+F[1-7]
[18:39] <immu_> MustaKrakish:  hi buddy
[18:39] <blackflow> Azulflame: that too I guess yeah
[18:39] <Azulflame> if you set a password using "passwd user", it'll be available for new logins immediatly
[18:39] <Azulflame> but shouldn't kick you off if you are already logged in
[18:40] <Azulflame> so you can set your password to 'hunter2', change console and log in immediatly using 'hunter2'
[18:42] <blackflow> Azulflame: this is about resetting password from recovery boot mode, which means the user is rebooting back into default mode
[18:43] <Azulflame> I'm assumming you aren't the person above trying to reset it on an encrypted install
[18:43] <blackflow> Azulflame: nope, bivo is
[18:44] <Azulflame> but 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 needed
[18:44] <Azulflame> then $ chroot .
[18:44] <Azulflame> sorry, # chroot .
[18:44] <Azulflame> and # passwd <your username>
[18:44] <Azulflame> and reset your password
[18:45] <Azulflame> then you're good to exit chroot, reboot, and login
[18:45] <Azulflame> of course, this assumes you have a root bash shell, and chroot installed on the host system (Not your hard drive that you're resetting the password on)
[18:46] <moracabanas1> Hi 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 .lv
[18:46] <Azulflame> moracabanas1, for bootloader or for a live image?
[18:46] <moracabanas1> for a live cd image
[18:47] <Azulflame> do you have a windows PC?
[18:47] <moracabanas1> both Ubuntu VM and Windows
[18:47] <Azulflame> using Windows (since Ubuntu can't dd them properly sometimes), use Win32DiskImager, select your flash drive, select the .img file, and burn them
=== zzz is now known as Guest67675
[18:47] <Azulflame> the .img needs to be burned onto the flash drive / cd, not just placed on it
[18:50] <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 .lz
[18:51] <Azulflame> that I can't help you with. Good luck finding someone who does
[18:52] <crCr62U0> Hello
[18:52] <Azulflame> sup crCr62U0
[18:52] <moracabanas1> @Azulflame Thanks you so much anyway :)
[18:52] <crCr62U0> I've deleted /etc/nginx folder, but i have one before. apt-get install --reinstall nginx Doesn't help
[18:53] <crCr62U0> am i right that i should force apt-get to rewrite package folder in /etc?
[18:53] <nacc> moracabanas1: you are making this all rather complicated. Just change the bootloader config on your live USB to point to the correct files
[18:54] <nacc> moracabanas1: 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] <nacc> moracabanas1: ah, lzip?
[18:56] <crCr62U0> ty 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 work
[18:56] <ioria> crCr62U0, what's the problem ?
[18:57] <marty__> hello
[18:57] <blackflow> ioria: impatience, it seems. :)
[18:57] <ioria> blackflow, hehehe
[18:57] <moracabanas1> @nacc as you can see at live cd kernel section here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization it doesn't make sense
[18:58] <sheap> what day does precise go EOL?
[18:58] <ioria> !precise
[18:58] <ubottu> 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
[18:59] <sheap> I'm aware that it's april
[18:59] <sheap> but april is not a day
[18:59] <blackflow> crCr62U0: never had to do it myself so I can't say from personal experience, but quick googling yields this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/66533/how-can-i-restore-configuration-files
[18:59] <blackflow> crCr62U0: I suppose step 3 is all you need since you know the package
[18:59] <marty__> im running about 700 mb ram and a pentium 4 processor, on my project computer and im curious as the recommended version of ubuntu, kinda hoping for reasonable network drivers to start
[19:00] <marty__> ?
[19:00] <nacc> moracabanas1: what do you mean it doesen't make sense? copy your files over the ones in the extract-cd
[19:00] <crCr62U0> i love ubuntu.
[19:00] <nacc> moracabanas1: i feel like if you are not willing to learn/understand about filetypes, then building a live usb may not be the right choice ...
[19:01] <ducasse> sheap: the 28th, iirc
[19:01] <nacc> moracabanas1: saying 'it doens't work' and not giving any details makes it impossible to help
[19:01] <sheap> ducasse: is there some announcement about that? the releases/eol pages just says april
[19:01] <ioria> sheap, Ubuntu 12.04 will reach end of life on Friday, April 28th
[19:01] <nacc> sheap: yes, on the ubuntu-announce list
[19:02] <ioria> sheap, http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2017/03/15/ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-reaches-end-of-life-on-april-28-2017/
[19:02] <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] <sheap> seems like a useful thing to put on the EOL page instead of going through mailing lists
[19:04] <moracabanas1> @nacc sorry if you feel I haven't given details. If I put initrd as .img ERROR says wating for initrd.lz
[19:04] <nacc> sheap: i'll update the wiki
[19:04] <nacc> moracabanas1: ok, then uncompress and recompress as it expect it
[19:04] <nacc> *expects
[19:07] <moracabanas1> @nacc Thanks you so much (as no one but you helped me). I will give it a try. 2 days here and I can't understant nothing about linux because outdated documentation. Frustration

=== mint is now known as testing__
[21:26] <tomreyn> Sambom: maybe gparted would make you happy, but i'm not even sure whether it lets you configure lvm
[21:27] <tomreyn> it'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] <kenrin> The disks utility includes lvm
[21:28] <kenrin> Assuming he is on gnome|unity
[21:28] <tomreyn> oh that's graphical, too, right

[21:35] <k1l_> rmotao: or .xsession-errors in your home
[21:35] <kenrin> or journalctl
[21:35] <OerHeks> in /var/log/ would be pretty standard
[21:38] <rmotao> Thank you.
[21:42] <Tatou> ok, so ubuntu 16.10 and my mouse keeps jumping to the right
[21:42] <Tatou> What is going on?
[21:43] <ChaiTRex> Tatou: Are you on a laptop?
[21:44] <kangaroo72> Hello does someone now a channel for LSI/3Ware Controllers?
[21:45] <kangaroo72> I want to know, if an existing RAID-Setup from 9690 is working on 9650
[21:45] <nacc> !alis | kangaroo72
[21:45] <ubottu> kangaroo72: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http"
[21:45] <k1l_> kangaroo72: ##hardware ?
[21:45] <kangaroo72> ah ok
[21:45] <k1l_> Tatou: you can rule out mechanical issues?
[21:45] <kangaroo72> !alis lsi
[21:46] <nacc> kangaroo72: no, read the full help
[21:47] <nealshirelaptop> I can't seem to exit grep through SSH, I tried ctrl-c but nothing seems to be happening
[21:47] <Mead> ugh, I need some nuoob level help here
[21:48] <Bashing-om> !ask | Mead
[21:48] <ubottu> Mead: 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
[21:48] <nealshirelaptop> nvm "session closed by software abort" that explains why my keypresses do nothing
[21:48] <Mead> I've made a script saved in the name.sh format, how do I run it?
[21:49] <wedgie> Mead: chmod +x name.sh; ./name.sh
[21:49] <Younder> Mead, chmod +x nae.sh and the ./name.sh
[21:49] <PipeItToDevNull> XD
=== phil_ is now known as Guest68632
[21:49] <k1l_> Mead: ./name.sh    but you need to set it +x first
[21:49] <aaaa> hi
[21:50] <wedgie> Mead: but make sure that the script has a proper shebang first.
[21:50] <Mead> it is character for character from a webpage
[21:50] <Tatou> k1l_: Hmm. Let me check the bios.
[21:50] <wedgie> so?
[21:51] <k1l_> Tatou: or try with another OS or a live usb
[21:51] <Mead> hum no output
[21:51] <Tatou> k1l_: It's just started, I upgraded from 16.04 - > 0.10
[21:51] <wedgie> Mead: link to the script?
[21:51] <Mead> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVMF#Ensuring_that_the_groups_are_valid
[21:52] <nacc> Mead: if you have no valid IOMMU groups that won't print anything
=== vincent__ is now known as Guest19480
[21:54] <rolandinirc> hihi
[21:56] <Mead> why would I have no valid IOMMU group though,  I know my system supports the feature https://pastebin.com/aB4N5fqP
[21:59] <kenrin> Mead: you probably have not set one up yet
[21:59] <nacc> Mead: can you pastebin the entire dmesg?
[22:00] <Mead> the entire output?  Like pages and pages of it?
[22:00] <nacc> Mead: yes `dmesg | pastebinit`
[22:00] <k1l_> Mead: "dmesg | nc termbin.com 9999"
[22:00] <nacc> there are contextual lines missing after/before the greps
[22:01] <sebsebseb> hi
[22:01] <Mead> hehe, pastebinit is not installed
[22:01] <sebsebseb> Mead: yep not by default
[22:02] <sebsebseb> Mead: also you can just link people to pastebin stuff
[22:04] <Mead> I'm running ubuntu live investigating if I want to bother with messing with all these VMs
[22:04] <sebsebseb> Mead: I just joined here, what's your actsual issue ?
=== MasterScript is now known as zz_MasterScript
[22:06] <Mead> my issue?  I'm a nub trying to learn that is really the core of it.  long answer involves building VM guests with hardware access  to gpu and NICs for various things.
[22:06] <sebsebseb> Mead: whats your host os ?
[22:06] <sebsebseb> Windows ?
[22:07] <Mead> it 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 media
[22:08] <sebsebseb> Mead: Ubuntu server what why?  and that really is for well servers, and  it has no graphical user interface as well
[22:08] <nacc> Mead: or maybe `sudo find /sys -name iommu_group`
[22:08] <nacc> Mead: looking into the kernel code, it shoudl be creating symlinkks if it prints the messages you showed
[22:08] <sebsebseb> Mead: I would suggest learning with UBuntu desktop, so Ubuntu and with a graphical user interface, you can get nicely into Linux that wya
[22:08] <sebsebseb> Mead: you can run servers from the desktop version as well
[22:08] <Mead> https://pastebin.com/tZ9NXeV9  <-  entire dmesg
[22:09] <k1l> ubuntu desktop and server share the same kernel and base system.
[22:09] <sebsebseb> Mead: ok that's a very long pastebin :d
[22:09] <nacc> Mead: looking, thatnks, that `find` command may hep too
[22:10] <nacc> *help
[22:10] <Mead> sebsebseb:  my objective is to  do all my work in a various guest OS's.
[22:11] <sebsebseb> k1l: UBUNTU server won't run Virtualbox?  or not so  easilly by deafult? I guess kvm or something?
[22:12] <sebsebseb> Mead: with which software? I think Virtualbox is out or pretty much for server :d since no graphical user interface usaully etc
[22:12] <nacc> sebsebseb: it's fine, we are trying to help Mead already, canyou take the chitchat somewhere else?
[22:12] <nacc> sebsebseb: not really helping right now, and i'd like to figure this out :)
[22:13] <sebsebseb> nacc: I joined late, missed some or a lot of this, that's ok, you help Mead
[22:13] <k1l> sebsebseb: virtualbox runs fine on ubuntu server. its really the exact same base system as the ubuntu desktop
[22:13] <sebsebseb> k1l: ok but a gui would have to be installed to run it?
[22:13] <nacc> sebsebseb: you can have guis on servers, if you want
[22:14] <sebsebseb> nacc: true
[22:14] <Mead> sebsebseb: 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] <k1l> sebsebseb: no. you would need something like phpvirtualbox or something else.
[22:14] <sebsebseb> k1l: oh ok
[22:15] <sebsebseb> Mead: ok
[22:15] <k1l> or you use ssh with xforward or such. there are many solutions
[22:15] <sebsebseb> ok
[22:17] <Mead> and 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] <sebsebseb> Mead: uhmm generally 3D gaming does not work so welll in any virtual machine software!
[22:17] <nacc> Mead: GPU passthru is still pretty new (afaik)
[22:17] <sebsebseb> Mead: also vm's aren't really for gaming in general
[22:17] <k1l> sebsebseb: that is why he wants passtrhough his gpu etc.
[22:18] <nacc> Mead: 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 :d
[22:18] <nacc> Mead: sorry mean to say , virtualized GPUs is still pretty new, passthru is what you'd have to do, but requires multiple physical cards
[22:18] <Mead> if it doesn't work that well, I could always just boot baremetal into windows.  So I'm not that concerned.
[22:19] <nacc> Mead: any luck getting that sysfs output?
[22:19] <Mead> nacc: what was the command again?
[22:19] <nacc> Mead: `sudo find /sys -name iommu_group`
[22:19] <sebsebseb> nacc: I can understand for like servers cloud etc, differnet guest oses,  but for gaming as well, not so much,  pshycall install shoud be way better for gaming
=== jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod
[22:20] <Mead> yeah,  do I need to pastebin it for you too?
[22:20] <nacc> sebsebseb: if the virtualization is working, that shoudln't be true
[22:20] <nacc> sebsebseb: depends on the configuration of course
[22:20] <sebsebseb> Mead:  nacc  last message was meant to go to Mead
[22:20] <nacc> Mead: yes plese
[22:21] <k1l> sebsebseb: tbh, that sidetalk is very disturbing. you raised your concerns but the user wants to solve that technical issue he asked for in the first place
[22:21] <Mead> https://pastebin.com/PEe8Vzhk
[22:22] <nacc> Mead: ok, those should be symlinks, can you `readlink` on one of them and pastebin the output?
[22:22] <nacc> Mead: note that measn the iommu groups are working :)
[22:23] <Mead> readlink?
[22:23] <nacc> Mead: yes, it's a command to read where a symlink points
[22:24] <nacc> Mead: e.g., `readlink /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/iommu_group`
=== JeremyD is now known as SleePy
[22:25] <Mead> ok, give me a second,  I'm IRC'ing from a second system and can't cut/paste from it into terminal
[22:25] <nacc> Mead: doesn't that one have network?
[22:25] <nacc> Mead: use netcat or pastebinit
[22:26] <Mead> pastebinit isn't installed in this live boot :P
[22:27] <dar123> here guyz, i am having an outage right now. My server ran out of disk space, i deleted lots of stuff and have 500M free now
[22:27] <nacc> Mead: so install it?
[22:27] <k1l> then pipe it to nc termbin.com 9999 like i showed you before
[22:27] <nacc> Mead: or that --^
[22:27] <dar123> but i still keep getting msg 'cannot create tmp file for here-document'
[22:28] <omenius> can I get word shortest explanation of what pastebinit is? Sounds handy, does it have cli version?
[22:28] <omenius> *word=world
[22:28] <sebsebseb> omenius: a program to do pastebin without having to go to the site
[22:29] <xar-> it would have been easier to google it, rather than ask >_>
[22:29] <sebsebseb> xar-: maybe
[22:29] <k1l> !google
[22:29] <ubottu> While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question.
[22:30] <xar-> no, definitely. he typed 17 words, pastebinit is 1. >_>
[22:30] <Bashing-om> dar123: Show the channel in a pastebin ' df -h ; df -i ' . See what we can see .
[22:30] <k1l> xar-: if you dont want to read and answer questions then this support channel is the wrong channel for you.
[22:30] <xar-> Also ubottu is irrelevant, I didn't tell him to google it, rather suggested it would be faster.
[22:30] <Mead> ok, so it gives me output like ../../../kernal/iommu_groups/4
[22:31] <nacc> !pastebinit | omenius
[22:31] <ubottu> omenius: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[22:32] <nacc> Mead: ah ok, can you run `find /sys/kernel/iommu_groups` ?
[22:32] <omenius> thanks guys, very cool tool (:
[22:33] <dar123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24277575/
[22:33] <k1l> dar123: check if there are old kernels and old kernel headers still installed
[22:34] <k1l> dar123: that is an easy way to get inodes free again
[22:34] <dar123> i don't think so
[22:34] <Mead> nacc: https:///pastebin.com/XwmStTaH
[22:34] <dar123> never installed any updates since i brought this up
[22:35] <nacc> Mead: you sure about that link?
[22:35] <Mead> sorry I didn't hand copy correctly,
[22:35] <k1l> dar123: "dpkg -l | grep linux-headers"
[22:35] <Bashing-om> dar123: k1l : What's up that /dev/xvda is mounted both to '/' and to '/mnt ' ?
[22:36] <k1l> Bashing-om: its xvda and xvdb
[22:36] <Mead> nacc: https://pastebin.com/xwnStTaH
[22:37] <Bashing-om> k1l: Yeah :... me and narrow minded . :)
=== myk_ is now known as Myk267
[22:38] <griest> hello I am having trouble getting a lock on a samba share
[22:38] <nacc> Mead: ok, your IOMMU groups are fine, i guess you and debug that little sriptlet
[22:38] <griest> however it does not appear that any processes are using it
[22:39] <dar123> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24277625/
[22:39] <nacc> Mead: *you can debug
[22:39] <k1l> dar123: ok, then no easy way to solve your out-of-inodes issue. then you need to look after files yourself
[22:41] <Mead> nacc:  if the groups are fine, then great.  I need to figure out what devices these are and how they are grouped together
[22:43] <Mead> hehe, I just double checked the script again.  I had a = instead of a - in one of the lines....
[22:44] <nacc> Mead: ...
[22:44] <nacc> Mead: so next time, actually c&p paste the script
[22:46] <Mead> still didn't work, after I changed it.   I give up on the script, you checked it out and said it was good so I'm done with that part. Now I need map out on paper what devices in that last output are (NIC, gpu, sata whatever)
[22:48] <Mead> cause I'm I'm getting so deep into these find details that I losing track of why the heck I am messing with this at all.
[22:48] <Mead> err fine details
[22:52] <jnewt> how do i repair a usb disk (showing up as 732MB, it is 4GB)?  is the command line required?  I have files on there I want to use.
[22:53] <kk4ewt> cp the files you want off  while you can
[22:53] <jnewt> I can't, it shows up black and 732MB
[22:53] <jnewt> do i need a windows computer to repair it?
[22:53] <kk4ewt> jnewt,  output of fdisk -l |pastebinit
[22:56] <truelai> I've seen two different ways to do IP aliasing. Can someone point me to the official CURRENT way to do it?
[22:56] <truelai> i.e., most documentation I've come across uses eth:0 eth:1
[22:57] <jnewt> kk4ewt: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24277686/
[22:57] <truelai> but I have seen documntation that says this is the old way (can't seem to find that one) and I have implemented without the colon and number.
[22:57] <kenrin> the "ip" command is the newest way truelai
[22:58] <truelai> to make it permaneny
[22:58] <truelai> permanent*
[22:58] <k1l> jnewt: you dd'ed a freebsd iso onto that usb?
[22:58] <truelai> ip command is temporary
[22:58] <jnewt> k1l: not that one.  the 7.2gb one is the problem
[22:59] <kenrin> The permanent way is the same as it has always been
[22:59] <kenrin> Unless you are using a network manager
[22:59] <jnewt> k1l, /dev/sda1
[22:59] <k1l> jnewt: its seen as 7,2GB fat
[23:00] <kk4ewt> jnewt,  so what is show it as having only 700M
[23:00] <jnewt> but when i plug it in, it shows up as 732MB under Devices
[23:00] <jnewt> and there's no files
[23:00] <k1l> jnewt: show the dmesg output
[23:00] <Mead> bought up the webpage on the ubuntu system, cut and pasteed  the script, saved it, and then used that same chmod +x name.sh ./name.sh command, and still no output
[23:01] <truelai> kenrin: this works https://www.pastiebin.com/58dc3cad9d22d
[23:01] <truelai> and it's not the old way but the way I saw to do it now
[23:01] <truelai> though I can't find the link
[23:02] <kenrin> Thats the way I've always done it on debian|ubuntu.  So i'm not sure what the "old way" is
[23:02] <truelai> using "eno1:1" is the old way
[23:02] <kenrin> For a single alias yeah
[23:02] <kenrin> not for a range
[23:02] <truelai> can you explain?
[23:04] <Mead> nacc:  thanks for for your help earlier.
[23:04] <kenrin> Wow ok nevermind,  ubuntu doesn't have ranges
[23:05] <dar123> thanks guyz, things are better now :)
[23:05] <truelai> so yeah. square one. how the fack is this supposed to work these days?
[23:05] <truelai> Can't seem to find official documentatin
[23:06] <jnewt> k1l: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24277704/
[23:06] <nacc> Mead: np
[23:06] <nacc> Mead: like i said, maybe the script is buggy, debug it
[23:08] <k1l> jnewt: are you sure you are not confused by the other usb with the freebsd?
[23:10] <Mead> nacc:  I don't even know where to start to debug a script.  I'm not even sure I'm running correctly
[23:10] <kenrin> I see what you are saying.  They have two methods listed in the debian wiki.   Ubuntu wiki doesn't even have permanent aliasing
[23:10] <truelai> yeah
[23:10] <dar123>  how can i delete files of this format a0aa3d6e-8732-47ac-b81f-b840ce7f0c64
[23:11] <dar123> four - and alphanumeric
[23:11] <k1l> dar123: use  tab-completion
[23:11] <dar123> 50k files
[23:11] <kenrin> The correct method would be at the very bottom of this page: wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration
[23:11] <truelai> it's some booshit
[23:11] <k1l> dar123: or do you mean with regex?
[23:11] <dar123> yups
=== lethu_ is now known as lethu
[23:11] <Mead> nacc: perhaps I should find a better guide to try to follow
[23:12] <k1l> dar123: my regex foo is very low. cant you just clean the folder?
[23:12] <nacc> Mead: bash -x may help
[23:12] <truelai> kenrin, any idea when that documentation is from?
[23:12] <kenrin> No idea but ip route has been in quite a few older versions.  Just no one ever used it for a few years
[23:13] <kenrin> It looks like it was edited in 2014 for that section
[23:14] <truelai> :/
[23:15] <kenrin> Why :/  ?  I doubt the formatting has changed since then
[23:15] <Mead> nacc:  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] <truelai> That's what this is about. Questioning the format from a current persepctive
[23:16] <nacc> Mead: let's say your script is 'test.sh' then run `bash -x test.sh`
[23:16] <Mead> ok, so it needs the file name
[23:16] <nacc> or whatever you are using
[23:17] <nacc>  you can also change the shebang in the script
[23:17] <kenrin> The way you wrote it and the way listed is almost exactly the same though.  Only you used CIDR notation
[23:18] <truelai> right. I just wanted to find something in black and white talking about the change to aliasing and knowing for sure what the current approach is.
[23:18] <truelai> thanks for the reference though.
[23:18] <kenrin> Gotcha.  Don't think what you are looking for exists though =)
[23:19] <truelai> sound about right.
[23:19] <truelai> sounds*
[23:19] <Mead> nacc:  would you like to see the output in pastebin?
[23:19] <truelai> oh snap...
[23:20] <truelai> right above it, it shows the eth0:1 method
[23:20] <kenrin> ya
[23:20] <truelai> and refers to it as "legacy"
[23:20] <truelai> you did indeed find the right doc!
[23:20] <truelai> I stand corrected
[23:20] <truelai> Thank you sir.
[23:20] <k1l> yeah, i wanted to say that "legacy" is like old or outdated.
[23:21] <k1l> (but since i only read half of your conversation i thought you saw that already)
[23:21] <Mead> https://pastebin.com/eBwMKJvd
[23:21] <nacc> Mead: uh... that's printing out a ton of stuff
[23:22] <nacc> Mead: unrelated to the bash -x change
[23:22] <nacc> Mead: e.g. lines 8 and 9 are the output you were looking for
[23:23] <Muhammad_> hello !
[23:23] <nacc> Mead: how were you running it before when you said there was no output?
[23:23] <Muhammad_> may I Ask Q  about Iptable
[23:23] <Mead> chmod +x  is what someone said
[23:24] <nacc> Mead: right, that made it executable
[23:24] <nacc> Mead: and the how did you run it? chmod +x doesn't run it
[23:24] <nacc> Mead: e.g. `./shscr1.sh` or `bash shscr1.sh`
[23:24] <k1l> Mead: chmod +x script.sh is needed once to grant the script the filepermission to be executed. after that you run it with "./script.sh" if you are in the same directory
[23:25] <Mead> see, I didn't even know how to run it correctly
[23:25] <nacc> ...
[23:25] <cfhowlett> !ask | Muhammad_
[23:25] <ubottu> Muhammad_: 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
[23:25] <nacc> Mead: you really probably are biting off more than you can chew if you don't know how to run scripts
[23:25] <nacc> Mead: VMs are not 'trivial' to manage and configure
[23:25] <nacc> Mead: particularly the way you were describing it
[23:25] <kenrin> sure they are nacc,  just not passthrough
[23:26] <nacc> kenrin: do you know the context for Mead's issue?
[23:26] <kenrin> yes
[23:26] <nacc> kenrin: ok
[23:26] <nacc> kenrin: Mead specifically wants to passthru
[23:26] <nacc> kenrin: you're right, though, VMs are trivial, i shoudl have said for Mead's use case
[23:26] <k1l> i think the multi VM setup sounds like he is going to learn a lot :)
=== Epx998- is now known as Epx998
[23:27] <nacc> kenrin: but if someone doesn't know how to run a bash script, i think managing multiple VMs is a huge leap
[23:27] <nacc> smaller first steps would be more productive IMO
[23:27] <Mead> smaller steps?  LIke what?
[23:27] <nacc> !manual | Mead
[23:27] <ubottu> Mead: 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] <Epx998> On 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] <kenrin> Hate to be conscending,  but like learning the shell

[23:28] <ubottu> Mead: 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/UsingTheTerminal
[23:28] <nacc> Mead: etc.
[23:28] <nacc> Mead: 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 knowledge
[23:28] <Mead> ...  like heck I need to learn how to "surf the web" again
[23:30] <Mead> I learn by doing.
[23:32] <Didact69> I think was I here earlier
[23:32] <nacc> Mead: the manual has a bunch of stuff
[23:32] <nacc> Mead: as i said, just my opinion, but not knowing how to run a script is a major red flag (to me)
[23:32] <nacc> Mead: good luck in your endeavor
[23:33] <Mead> I've never had a reason to learn before
[23:34] <kenrin> Is there an http manual available ?  or is it just a download
[23:35] <kk4ewt> man apache2
[23:35] <kenrin> Er I meant for the ubuntu manual
[23:36] <kenrin> I just hate pdf
[23:36] <kk4ewt> man apache2 isnt a pdf
[23:36] <nacc> kenrin: apache's website is pretty useful too
[23:37] <kenrin> I can't word things properly.  I was looking at the ubuntu-manual.org but wanted a web based version
[23:41] <Didact69> ok, well at least we got that much
[23:44] <Capum321> hello
[23:46] <nacc> kenrin: there is also server guide
[23:46] <Didact69> I guess I'm looking for a good user guide on doing nat on 16.04
[23:47] <Capum321> i am uninstalling mono packages and some libs got broken 'E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.'
[23:48] <Didact69> like should I use UFW? or just iptables?
[23:49] <erik__> a
[23:50] <Capum321> close synaptic or do something else?

[23:51] <Didact69> eh, it's late, might as well start tomorrow
[23:51] <spotter> so I have a weird behavior, for some reason empty directories in my ~/Download folder keep on getting deleted
[23:51] <spotter> and I can't seem to figure out why
[23:52] <spotter> ~/Downloads that is
[23:54] <Annoyed> Greetings. 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?
[23:56] <Delvien> spotter do you have ~/Downloads mounted on a different drive?
[23:57] <spotter> Delvien, hmm, its visible as an smb mount
