| hggdh | yep | 01:22 |
| hggdh | q | 01:22 |
| hitman1 | what is it ? | 01:22 |
| wastrel | did you open system monitor or top | 01:22 |
| wastrel | maybe a process is using up cpu or disk io | 01:23 |
| hitman1 | no | 01:23 |
| hggdh | hitman1: how many cores in this system? | 01:23 |
| hitman1 | 2 | 01:23 |

| hitman1 | what thing | 01:24 |
| hitman1 | chrome is using more - what I see | 01:24 |
| hitman1 | what is the threshold for a process for memory it can use ? | 01:25 |
| hggdh | hitman1: I do not understand your question | 01:26 |
| hitman1 | Like chrome is using 9% of mem | 01:26 |
| hggdh | hitman1: that's not much | 01:26 |
| hitman1 | I want to know what is the max value it can use where beyond that value system freezes? | 01:27 |
| hggdh | hitman1: pretty much the whole available memory. it all depends on what else is running in the system. | 01:28 |
| hitman1 | Now system is running normally. | 01:28 |
| hggdh | hitman1: for comparison, my Chrome is right now using ~1.7G of main memory | 01:29 |
| hitman1 | But I only have 4G of memory as total and I think you have more. | 01:29 |

| hggdh | hitman1: again: something was running and eating up CPU. What, we have no idea | 01:30 |
| hitman1 | And I want to know how to know what slowed down my system ? | 01:30 |
| hitman1 | If it happens again in future | 01:30 |
| hggdh | hitman1: since it is now apparent it was CPU starvation, when it happens again run htop and find out what is using CPU | 01:31 |
| Mihajlovic | you can check which process holds CPU or MEMORY by 'top' command. | 01:31 |
| hitman1 | ok | 01:31 |

| tripelb | OK new question wedgie can I rename my partitions so I I will know them as Pam and Jenny and never getconfused | 02:03 |
| Jordan_U | j4f-shredder_: What version of Ubuntu are you using? What do you mean by "two connections unmanaged and one that stays in connecting state"? Where are you seeing these connections? | 02:03 |
| j4f-shredder_ | 16.10 | 02:03 |
| j4f-shredder_ | On both machines | 02:04 |
| wedgie | tripelb: not that i'm aware of. | 02:04 |
| j4f-shredder_ | If I go to the connection icon and I put edit connections I can see 3 "wired" connections | 02:04 |
| j4f-shredder_ | One has the ON switch and the other two anything | 02:05 |
| Jordan_U | tripelb: You can add a filesystem label that will show up in the output of "blkid". The device name will still be /dev/sdXY but you'll be able to more easily find the device name. Also, OS installers will usually list a filesystem's label next to the partition containing that filesystem. | 02:05 |
| j4f-shredder_ | I had a router when it was working fine, then my router burnt and I had to connect directly the isp provider modem to my machine using the ethernet cable | 02:06 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Since then I cannot make internet work | 02:06 |
| wedgie | j4f-shredder_: does the modem provide DHCP? | 02:07 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Its a desktop pc | 02:07 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Yes | 02:07 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Dhcp | 02:07 |
| j4f-shredder_ | It seems that somehow it saved the router ethernet connection | 02:07 |
| tripelb | Jordan_U, wedgie fedora tells you less when you are installing. basically I need to know the sdax already and the nautilus-thing they have doesnt tell me. and I had forgotten lsblk.. prolly tired. BUT fedora recognizes my wifi hardware so I dont have to be on ethernet when I install it. | 02:07 |

| t5u | hi, I am trying to troubleshoot one of my friends HP laptop, Ubuntu 14.4 LTS, seems to crash irresponsively, screen freeze and kernel seems dead, syslog shows nothing, last entry regarding network scan then reboot log, is it a hardware issue ? | 02:08 |
| Jordan_U | j4f-shredder_: It's likely that your modem will only connect to one ethernet card (by MAC address) or that it's expecting PPPoE, which requires more configuration on the PC side, including entering your DSL username and password. | 02:09 |
| j4f-shredder_ | And why my laptop with also ubuntu 16.10 accepted it in one go? | 02:10 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Without any config | 02:10 |
| texla | kenrin, Removed quotes from both line ends package manager and update now working Thanks for the help | 02:10 |
| j4f-shredder_ | I plug the ethernet cable and it works | 02:11 |
| kenrin | Np, watch those typos~ | 02:11 |
| Jordan_U | j4f-shredder_: It might not use PPPoE but might still only allow connecting to one MAC address. | 02:11 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Ohh, I will get a new router on monday | 02:11 |
| j4f-shredder_ | Perhaps this is not worth it | 02:12 |
| kenrin | You usually have to reset a modem when connecting a different device | 02:12 |
| Jordan_U | j4f-shredder_: You might use one of your working machines to share internet to the others. It's not hard to setup. | 02:12 |
| kenrin | Unless it is also a router | 02:12 |
| j4f-shredder_ | I already have that, but no wifi card on my desktop | 02:12 |

| Gallowglass | tatertots: I have it booted. I'm irc'ed from my laptop | 03:06 |
| Guy1524 | hey guys, seemingly out of nowhere on a ubuntu 16.04 on an imac 2010, the unity launcher doesn't show opened applications and ALT+TAB doesn't either. (when I open an application, it works, but doesn't show as open on the launcher) loging out and in again fixes it until the next reboot | 03:07 |
| Guy1524 | any ideas | 03:07 |
| wastrel | did you apt-get update | 03:10 |
| Gallowglass | wastrel: If you're asking me, then the answer is that I can't - both wireless and wired connections have no interfaces associated with them. | 03:12 |
| tatertots | Gallowglass: did the computer have internet connectivity while booted to livecd/liveusb? yes or no | 03:13 |
| Gallowglass | tatertots: It's an Ubuntu Server install, so I never really took it to LiveCD mode, but the installer went through connecting to the wireless successfully and downloaded updates. | 03:14 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Gallowglass, You need to configure with WPA_Supplicant | 03:14 |
| Gallowglass | PipeItToDevNull: Doesn't come standard, looked up the package and it and many dependencies are missing... lotta downloading via another computer. I guess I *could* try all that, but it will be a lot of trouble to do it. | 03:15 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Ah, sec | 03:16 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Does the command nmcli work | 03:16 |
| tatertots | not on a ubuntu "server" edition install...nmcli isn't there by default | 03:17 |
| Gallowglass | Pipe: 'nmcli' is not installed. | 03:17 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Guess you dont have any wifi support, it is a server after all | 03:17 |
| tatertots | Gallowglass: is the computer "hardwired" right now with a ethernet cable? yes or no | 03:17 |
| Gallowglass | tatertots: Yes, it's hard-wired to a network with connection. That port is integrated to the motherboard, and the mobo is nvidia. I'm afraid the device isn't detected because a proprietary driver is needed. | 03:19 |
| tatertots | Gallowglass: you better boot livecd/liveusb, where according to your own testimony, there'd be at least a probability of having connectivity. In your current situation you have no connectivity at all wired/wireless or otherwise and can do absolutely nothing | 03:21 |
| wastrel | Gallowglass: lspci | grep -i net | 03:22 |
| iputra | window | 03:23 |
| implite | wastrel: does that list the devices? | 03:23 |
| Gallowglass | tatertots: Okay. While I'm at it, this machine is intended to be a server, but would installing desktop Ubuntu be so different? | 03:23 |
| Gallowglass | wastrel: details coming | 03:24 |

| Gallowglass | Bridge: NVIDIA Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) | 03:24 |

| Gallowglass | Netoer controller: Ralink corp. RT2800 802.11n PCI | 03:24 |

| tatertots | Gallowglass: installation process would be similar but end result of the installation and the packages that would be resident not so similar | 03:25 |
| energizer | is it normally a good idea to wait a bit after a new release comes out before installing | 03:25 |
| bazhang | energizer, did you mean LTS or non | 03:26 |
| energizer | 17.04 | 03:26 |
| bazhang | thats nine month support cycle for non LTS energizer | 03:26 |
| Gallowglass | tatertots: In order to avoid crazy amounts of manual downloading, maybe installing the Desktop is the best idea. I think I'll have to put that disk in anyways, since I didn't see a live environment on the Server disk menu | 03:27 |
| tatertots | Gallowglass: understand that in your current situation you have do nothing, you couldn't download anything or install anything from the internet, so there's little value in you staring it the screen hoping to do something in the current state of this system | 03:27 |

| Basketball | is there a way to save a file to the google drive folder from a program | 04:24 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Is this a trick question? | 04:26 |
| PipeItToDevNull | From a brief read up it is a location like any other, just save a file there and it will be synced up | 04:28 |
| Basketball | PipeItToDevNull, in gnome i cannot figure out how to save to the network drive | 04:30 |

| Guy1524 | seemingly out of nowhere on a ubuntu 16.04 on an imac 2010, the unity launcher doesn't show opened applications and ALT+TAB doesn't either. (when I open an application, it works, but doesn't show as open on the launcher) loging out and in again fixes it until the next reboot | 04:39 |

| Jack235 | Hey I have a question I was hoping for help with, super newbie here. I installed hexchat from my user account and everytime I open it gives me two error messages explaining that I do not have write access for logs.. It sucks because nothing will save. | 05:04 |
| Jack235 | So I uninstalled and installed as root | 05:05 |
| Jack235 | now those messages appear but everytime I run Hexchat it says that I am stupid to run as root | 05:05 |
| Jack235 | I cant win | 05:05 |
| cicisagen | don't run hexchat as root | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | don't run pretty much anything as root | 05:08 |
| cicisagen | definitely anything that connects to the internet. | 05:08 |
| cicisagen | You need to change the write permissions on the log file. | 05:09 |
| azizLIGHT | how come 'Additional Drivers' dialog box on 14.04 lists ppa gpu drivers as open source | 05:10 |

| Kiicki | What Proprietary driver does Ubuntu actually use for the Catalyst? The Ubuntu fglrx or just Linux fglrx? Since there's a difference at least on the AMD site. The Linux version has only 1 driver where the Ubuntu one lists like 8 different ones. Even has a 44 page tutorial on how to install it -.- | 05:39 |
| Kiicki | Ubuntu: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Ubuntu%20x86%2064&rev=15.9 | 05:40 |
| Kiicki | Linux: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous/detail?os=Linux%20x86_64&rev=15.9 | 05:40 |
| Ben64 | Kiicki: its the same driver | 05:40 |
| Ben64 | but you should use the one that ubuntu provides, if you get it from amd.com you're on your own | 05:40 |
| Kiicki | What do you mean by same? clearly something more is added on the Ubuntu version | 05:41 |
| baizon | Kiicki: linux = .tar.gz(.zip), ubuntu = .deb | 05:42 |
| Kiicki | but why does the Ubuntu link show 8 drivers and the Linux one only 1? | 05:43 |

| === sunrunner20_ is now known as sunrunner20 | ||
| jfmdn | baizon: it doesn't answer the question though | 05:45 |
| Kiicki | Actually I see that I only need 4 of them. I will try them and see how they compare to the standard fglrx that comes with Ubuntu | 05:45 |
| Ben64 | don't do it | 05:45 |
| Kiicki | maybe they are the same | 05:45 |
| Kiicki | maybe not | 05:45 |
| Ben64 | use ubuntu's | 05:45 |
| Kiicki | It is Ubuntu version | 05:46 |
| Ben64 | use the version that comes with ubuntu | 05:46 |
| Kiicki | just not the standard one that is listed in drivers | 05:46 |

| energizer | How can i make a subfolder of a drive into my home folder | 05:53 |
| Ben64 | energizer: not sure what you mean? | 05:54 |
| madprops | hi | 05:54 |
| madprops | is there anything i'd miss if i install the beta2 instead of waiting for the final release? | 05:54 |
| energizer | Ben64 i have a drive mounted, and i want a particular folder on it to be my new home folder | 05:54 |
| Ben64 | madprops: it will upgrade to final | 05:55 |
| Ben64 | energizer: you'd have to set that up in fstab. what filesystem is it? | 05:55 |
| baizon | madprops: less buggy | 05:56 |
| baizon | jfmdn: use logrotate | 05:56 |
| energizer | ben64 you mean like ext4? | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | yes | 05:57 |
| energizer | ext4 | 05:57 |
| Ben64 | cool, why a subfolder though instead of the whole partition? | 05:58 |
| energizer | i suppose i could reconsider that | 05:59 |
| energizer | what are the downsides | 05:59 |
| Ben64 | it'd be in two places at once, it would rely on the parent being mounted before home could mount | 06:00 |
| energizer | oic id have to have two separate lines in fstab, first mount UUID to /media/drive then mount /media/drive to /home ? | 06:00 |
| Ben64 | well you said subdirectory so it'd be /media/drive/home to /home | 06:02 |
| energizer | right | 06:02 |
| alkisg | energizer: since you mention /media, I'm guessing that drive is removable? Do you plan to have this drive always connected when your pc is booted, or sometimes it'll be removed? | 06:07 |
| energizer | alkisg: not removable, just an example | 06:08 |
| alkisg | OK | 06:08 |
| energizer | where was i supposed to moutn nonremovable | 06:08 |
| alkisg | Nonremovable drives are usually specified in /etc/fstab, and are used for things like the whole /home, or the whole /srv etc. But sure you can use /media too if you like, it's just that usually removable media goes in /media. | 06:09 |
| energizer | mhmm | 06:09 |
| energizer | rebooting, wish me luck... | 06:12 |

| anddam | that's pro stuff | 06:27 |
| anddam | I'd need someone to reproduce the non-working of magnifier feature in 16.04 Unity | 06:27 |
| anddam | specifically System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Universal Access has "Turn zoom on or off", "Zoom in" and "Zoom out" already set but using their shortcuts won't have any effect | 06:28 |
| anddam | further more, installing compizconfig-settings-manager and running it displays the Enhanced Zoom Desktop component as present, but its zoom in and zoom out feature have no shortcuts. Setting those allows the use of magnifier | 06:30 |
| anddam | odd thing is that setting the same shortcuts via System Settings now inhibits the feature again, i.e. System Settings is hiding Compiz magnifier by trapping the shortcuts and then doing nothing | 06:31 |
| quard | Is there a way to make Ubiquity installer not complain about the /boot folder being part of a rootfs on an encrypted partition? | 06:35 |
| anddam | ah I think this is the issue, System Settings > Universal Access in unity lacks the "zoom" section at https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.6/figures/users-system-settings-universal-access.png | 06:49 |

| blackflow | frib: have you had any updates yesterday morning? | 07:27 |
| phi_ | hi | 07:28 |
| phi_ | can someone help me make the printer to work | 07:28 |
| phi_ | I can't make it work on ubuntu | 07:28 |
| frib | blackflow, like from where? | 07:30 |
| blackflow | frib: to software | 07:30 |
| blackflow | frib: you say it stopped working as of yesterday morning. what happened yesterday morning? did you have any updates? | 07:30 |
| frib | blackflow, oh actually i think that's irrelevant because I reproduced this problem on both 16.04.1 and 15.04 live usbs | 07:31 |
| frib | it seems, oddly enough, to be an issue with the device itself | 07:31 |
| blackflow | but it worked fine until..... yesterday morning? | 07:31 |
| frib | 2 days ago i did a 16.04.02 reinstall | 07:31 |
| frib | blackflow, "fine" let say ya haha, it didn't NOT work | 07:31 |
| phi_ | cups server say the job is completed but the printer does not print anything | 07:31 |
| frib | i always have to go to bluetoothctl and do connect MAC etc.. | 07:32 |
| blackflow | frib: well you're giving different information now, than in your original question, and I totally lost you. | 07:32 |
| frib | because the unity-control-center "on/off" button is always greyed out | 07:32 |
| frib | blackflow, I didn't realize I Was | 07:32 |
| frib | I linked to a post saying that the echo pairs but won't play audio | 07:32 |
| frib | that remains the case | 07:32 |
| blackflow | phi_: checked the printer that it's ready to print? no jam? paper in? maybe there's a button on it you have to press to start printing received jobs? | 07:33 |
| frib | blackflow, I added the part about having to use bluetoothctl because I thought the fact that it seems to be a strange way of having to connect the device might be relevant | 07:33 |
| frib | but I guess blueman could substitute unity-control-center as well, so maybe not | 07:34 |
| frib | long story short, as of yesterday morning the echo pairs but only plays audio on *first* connect | 07:34 |
| blackflow | frib: well, I quote you: "But the strange thing is that it only started happening as of yesterday morning. Before that the echo didn't cause this problem. Can anyone recommend a solution?" | 07:34 |
| frib | yes correct | 07:35 |
| blackflow | and I was referring to that part. If you had any changes "as of yesterday morning" :) | 07:35 |
| frib | no as of yesterday morning nothing has changed, though I've tried several things | 07:35 |
| blackflow | maybe Echo updated? | 07:35 |
| frib | blackflow, I wasn't aware that Echo did updates | 07:36 |
| frib | but i did try to "hard reset" the device | 07:36 |
| frib | (to no avail) | 07:36 |
| blackflow | frib: "Your Alexa device receives software updates automatically over Wi-Fi. These updates usually improve performance and add new Alexa features." From here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/help/id=201602210 | 07:37 |
| blackflow | is that the device? | 07:37 |
| frib | blackflow, yes, the echo, the tall one | 07:38 |
| blackflow | because, if you didn't update software on Ubuntu, and it just stopped working one morning, logic dictates the device itself then changed. | 07:39 |
| frib | blackflow, yea it would seem, although the slightest thing can change without one even knowing it | 07:39 |
| blackflow | if you _did_ do updates on that morning and right before it stopped working (you can check via /var/log/apt/history.log), you have more info on possible causes. | 07:39 |
| frib | just as echo updated unknowingly, i might have done a apt-get upgrade that broke something | 07:40 |
| frib | blackflow, as I said the problem persists in previous ubuntu live usbs | 07:40 |
| frib | so i pretty much rule that out | 07:40 |
| frib | also, it doesn't happen with other bluetooth headphones that ihave | 07:40 |
| blackflow | so that's even more cause to think Echo changed | 07:40 |
| frib | so I pretty much blame the device at this point | 07:41 |
| blackflow | and even more :) | 07:41 |
| frib | but i was thrown off by that 2nd link I gave which sounds exactly like what is happening with my echo | 07:41 |
| frib | (i.e. all audio / youtube playback is frozen upon A2DP connect) | 07:41 |
| frib | the echo software version i am currently on is 5264 | 07:42 |
| frib | which is the latest | 07:43 |
| blackflow | frib: btw, your headphones work just fine? | 07:43 |
| frib | blackflow, correct | 07:43 |
| blackflow | frib: is there a history for you to check when did 5264 apply? | 07:44 |
| frib | blackflow, i don't see anything in the app | 07:45 |

| angel-swe | All I need to be careful is my dual boot windows | 09:30 |
| qswz | I can't believe none of you has problems with slow scroll speed? | 09:30 |
| qswz | have* | 09:30 |
| HankMoody | Then just pop in a Ubuntu flash drive/DVD and run through the installer again angel-swe | 09:30 |
| HankMoody | qswz: scrolling where? just in pages/documents, etc.? | 09:30 |
| angel-swe | Anyone here can read the crash report | 09:30 |
| angel-swe | and tell me if its serious or not | 09:30 |
| qswz | HankMoody: anywhere, on web browsers | 09:30 |
| qswz | on file managers | 09:30 |
| qswz | on terminal | 09:30 |
| qswz | I want it faster | 09:31 |
| HankMoody | qswz: Mine could be faster, but it's not too egregious. | 09:31 |
| qswz | yea we probably have similar speeds | 09:31 |
| qswz | but I come from windows where I could set it faster, it relieves the hand | 09:31 |
| HankMoody | angel-swe: If you're of the mind to reinstall because of whatever has gone FUBAR by all means. Won't take that long to reinstall, especially if you're not transferring config files, etc. over. | 09:32 |
| kgb | qswz: everything flies in a lighter shell like Xfce or LXDE | 09:33 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, I need to download the ubuntu and install it as a bootable usb right? | 09:33 |
| HankMoody | qswz: Yeah, I've used Linux or Mac solely for over a decade now. But I do know you can adjust your scroll speed in xfce. This is my first time in Unity for more than a few days. | 09:33 |
| HankMoody | angel-swe: bootable USB or CD/DVD | 09:33 |
| kgb | unity seriously does my head in :) | 09:33 |
| qswz | I'm on lxde | 09:34 |
| kgb | interesting | 09:34 |
| qswz | lubuntu 16.10, what do you mean kgb? | 09:34 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, Do I need anything else to not make any hartm to my dual windows? | 09:34 |
| HankMoody | kgb: Yeah, not to mention a resource hungry mofo. I haven't had Compiz in a long time though, so it's nice to see the glitter for once. | 09:34 |
| kgb | qswz: i can't swear in here, to explain. =) | 09:34 |
| angel-swe | kgb hi! | 09:34 |
| kgb | angel-swe: hi, welcome back to the desert of real (someone used it yesterday, don't blame me) | 09:35 |
| angel-swe | lol | 09:35 |
| HankMoody | angel-swe: Just don't format over your Doze partition, and make sure you point to the Doze partition in your bootloader (grub comes by default). | 09:35 |
| angel-swe | how do I print my current parttitions so we make sure which is ubuntu | 09:36 |
| angel-swe | here | 09:36 |
| angel-swe | than I install | 09:36 |
| angel-swe | any terminal command | 09:36 |
| HankMoody | It should be rather obvious when you're looking at the partitions in the installer. Linux generally likes to do at least 3: root, home, swap. Some people like to do boot and.... Damn, I can't remember the last one... | 09:37 |
| angel-swe | Well now I need to find the bootable ubuntu usb or download it | 09:38 |
| HankMoody | Depends, do you have one sitting around, and if so what version is on it? | 09:39 |
| kgb | angel-swe: the interesting thing is that the installer *will* display different options depending on what it 'thinks' it finds on the disk - that's where the difficulties come in SOMETIMES (but, usually not) | 09:39 |
| qswz | ok thanks this guy http://askubuntu.com/a/304653/81121 | 09:40 |
| angell-swe | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/WjxsHGUn/irccloudcapture224112953.jpg | 09:49 |
| angell-swe | I guess I found one | 09:49 |
| angell-swe | Just A couple of monts ol | 09:49 |
| angell-swe | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/JkOjDnc9/irccloudcapture1419258370.jpg | 09:50 |
| angel-swe | can you please see the url if they look like ubuntu bootable usb files | 09:50 |
| bekks | 7Why dont you just use an official bootable medium? | 09:51 |
| angel-swe | this is official from web site | 09:51 |
| angel-swe | where else it could be | 09:51 |
| bekks | I dont think Ubuntu uses irccloud. | 09:52 |
| HankMoody | angel-swe: The last one looks like it... But don't you already have a CD/DVD or flash drive sitting around your house? | 09:52 |
| HankMoody | They don't, but he uploaded the picture to it bekks | 09:52 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, this is the flash drive | 09:52 |
| bekks | angel-swe: If you already copied them to your flash drive, we cannot see wether you made that flash drive bootable or not. | 09:53 |
| angel-swe | lets try | 09:53 |
| angel-swe | what should I set my biot to boot via USB | 09:53 |
| kgb | angel-swe: if your guy installer won't look something like this http://i.imgur.com/834SZe8.png (this is the first install, don't know what reinstall looks like), it's not a good idea to do anything thorough it manually, just btw. | 09:54 |
| angel-swe | does it call it USB or Flash drive in Bios | 09:54 |
| bekks | angel-swe: We dont know your exact BIOS settings either. | 09:54 |
| kgb | that would be the GUI installer | 09:54 |
| angel-swe | kgb HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found. | 09:54 |
| angel-swe | bekks, it can't have 908059856 names.. must be some common a couple of names | 09:55 |
| Dreaman | download iso use rufus | 09:55 |
| bekks | angel-swe: So look it up in the manual of your bios. | 09:55 |
| HankMoody | angel-swe: Gotcha. Yeah if you snagged it from the Ubuntu site it's the official one. What OS are you going to be writing the flashdrive on? | 09:55 |
| Dreaman | bios boot farst usb stick | 09:55 |
| angel-swe | bekks, your sounds tense.. | 09:56 |
| angel-swe | more than help | 09:56 |
| bekks | angel-swe: We really dont know how the manufacturer of your bios called that menu entry :) | 09:56 |
| kgb | angel-swe: this one? http://i1-news.softpedia-static.com/images/news2/how-to-dual-boot-windows-10-and-ubuntu-linux-500635-4.jpg (as long as the installer can present its automatic options that it recognizes the windows bootloader AND it can find it, things should be fine - HOPEFULLY) :) | 09:57 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, do you mean what is the other OS? dual? | 09:57 |
| angel-swe | its windows | 09:57 |
| kgb | bt i don't know about reinstall, i wipe the ubuntu partitions manually as the space had been pre-set on my HDD | 09:57 |
| angel-swe | kgb can I run that bootable flash disk like that in ubuntu as your screenshot? | 09:58 |
| HankMoody | What OS are you going to be using to write to your flash drive? | 09:58 |

| zeus123 | hello everyone, can anyone help me regarding squid3 basic authentication from internet, which is behind NAT. | 09:59 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, I am lost in your question now. Do I even need an OS installed in Flash Drive to install the ubuntu it contains? | 09:59 |
| kgb | angel-swe: another thing to consider is that maybe 16.10 didn't agree with your machine - parhaps it's better to stay with the long term releases LTE ubuntu like 16.04.02 (02 maintenance release atm) | 10:00 |
| angel-swe | kgb yes it is 16.10 | 10:00 |
| bekks | angel-swe: you need to transfer an Ubuntu install image to your flash drive, so you can boot from it and install Ubuntu from it. | 10:00 |
| angel-swe | kgb can't I update & upgrade it after install? | 10:00 |
| angel-swe | can EFI be that OS? | 10:01 |
| kgb | sorry cant type LTS, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS it doesn't update as often but its lifecycle lasts until the next lts | 10:01 |
| bekks | No, EFI is not an OS. | 10:01 |
| HankMoody | If you're wanting to reinstall Ubuntu, then yes. The Ubuntu download is going to need to be written to the flash drive with a bootable flag on it so your computer's BIOS, that way it can recognize it to being the install. | 10:01 |
| kgb | 16.10 is the 'inbetween' and things *can* go wrong with it (special cases, again) | 10:02 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, I guess I created that Flash disk with the way they show on the official site | 10:02 |
| angel-swe | I will reboot and check | 10:02 |
| HankMoody | Okay, if that's what you did, then I'm sure it's done correctly and set to be bootable. | 10:02 |
| angel-swe | kgb, You recommend me to download lastest version from site and install it instead 16.10? | 10:03 |
| HankMoody | It's the difference in just writing the Ubuntu download to a CD/DVD and writing it so the computer knows that it's bootable. | 10:03 |
| angel-swe | HankMoody, I have a couple of USB I am just not sure if its that one or not. I will check | 10:03 |
| ducasse | angel-swe: if you had hardware problems with 16.10, you might try plain 16.04 instead of 16.04.2, as .2 contains the 16.10 kernel and x stack | 10:04 |
| HankMoody | Something akin to writing an album of mp3s to a CD as regular files, or writing it so they can be played in a CD player - Both admittedly are old ass analogies, but it still fits. | 10:05 |
| angel-swe | I had no problem until my dump action | 10:05 |
| angel-swe | kgb ? | 10:05 |
| kgb | angel-swe: here's how their web site has it https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 10:06 |
| angel-swe | kgb, that will take some hours | 10:06 |
| angel-swe | can | 10:06 |
| angel-swe | can't I realy update & upgrade my current 16.10 to it? | 10:07 |
| kgb | it's a 1.4 GB download are you on dial-up? :)) | 10:07 |
| angel-swe | oh I toguht it was 14 sorry | 10:08 |
| angel-swe | started now | 10:08 |
| HankMoody | kgb: Those are dirty Russian lies, dial-up doesn't even exist anymore :P | 10:08 |
| kgb | neither does the kgb, yet here i am | 10:08 |
| kgb | =) | 10:08 |
| angel-swe | kgb can you help me to convert that file to bootable flash disk after the download | 10:09 |
| kgb | oh | 10:09 |
| kgb | angel-swe: is your current flash drive bootable? | 10:09 |
| angel-swe | kgb, i guess | 10:09 |
| kgb | and was it an original image? :-0 | 10:09 |
| angel-swe | kgb, yes | 10:10 |
| HankMoody | Eh, the FSB and the SVR are the KGB just new acronyms to try and make those pussies in Ukraine fall to sleep while you guys quietly annexed part of their country :P. | 10:10 |
| angel-swe | I have 16.10 in the flash disk (I believe) | 10:10 |
| kgb | right ok, so just run it.. skip the whole downloading procedure - just make sure that there are automatic options in the GUI installer for what you're trying to do - otherwise your HDD has some funky setup | 10:10 |
| kgb | (and doing things manually is a pain. :)) | 10:10 |

| kgb | :) angel-swe you're on a roll for user support these two days xD | 10:14 |
| kgb | angel-swe: when you boot your machine, which bootloader shows up, grub2?? | 10:15 |
| kgb | regularly i mean, not the usb boot | 10:15 |
| angel-swe | No Tails came up | 10:15 |
| angel-swe | I mean via usb | 10:16 |
| angel-swe | Tails coming up soon as I boot with that Flash drive | 10:16 |
| kgb | i mean not via usb, do you get a menu to load Ubuntu and then Windows somewhere under it? | 10:16 |
| kgb | like regularly, daily, when you had used it.. you turn it on and what happens? :D | 10:17 |
| angel-swe | Ah | 10:17 |

| Freman | ok, so I finally have it working. Now question, how do I rename it so it's not eth0.10 but rather "lanvlan" - under gentoo this is part of the config but I can't figure out how to do it on ubuntu | 10:26 |
| angel-swe | Thx | 10:26 |
| FMan1988 | lan v. lan - only tonight on pay-per-view | 10:26 |
| Freman | if I manually configure it with the iproute2 package I can call it whatever I want | 10:27 |
| kgb | angel-swe: if that doesn't work, i've had no trouble with: https://unetbootin.github.io/ (although there are a million such programs) | 10:27 |
| Freman | FMan1988 meh, modemvlan better? :D | 10:27 |
| FMan1988 | not really :) | 10:27 |
| kgb | angel-swe: and come back if the GUI Ubuntu instaler doesn't give you the option which your are *sure* will reinstall alongside of windows (don't run it otherwise, it'll change partitions and God knows what else. :)) | 10:28 |

| MonkeyDust | da7niel yes, that's the way to do it ... what happens when you try | 11:06 |
| da7niel | mv: cannot stat 'filename.c': No such file or directory | 11:07 |
| SnipeDOG | Hello. Can anyone recommend a good (paid) remote support company that could help me with my Ubuntu Computer? I have a problem with my mdadm RAID array and I am afraid of data loss. | 11:07 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Then you are typing the name or pth incorrecty da7niel | 11:07 |
| tomreyn | da7niel: then you're either in the wrong directory or the file is named differently | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | da7niel so the file does not exist? | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | da7niel does the file show, when you type ls | 11:08 |
| da7niel | tomreyn: you're right, silly mistake | 11:08 |
| da7niel | thanks guys | 11:08 |
| tomreyn | SnipeDOG: i bet canonical could recommend someone. | 11:08 |
| SnipeDOG | I have had a look on their website but it seems its only aiming for commercial customers. | 11:09 |
| SnipeDOG | Is anyone here who knows his way with mdadm? :-) | 11:09 |
| MonkeyDust | SnipeDOG start in #ubuntu-server | 11:09 |
| SnipeDOG | I run a normal Ubuntu Distro - not server. | 11:10 |
| tomreyn | i bet several folks here have a good bit of mdadm experience. | 11:10 |
| geez[m] | SnipeDOG: I'm not an expert but I have been using it for 7 years in my own servers (you just barely ever have to touch it, which is why I'm not an expert). What do you need? | 11:10 |
| SnipeDOG | I am an Ubuntu Newbie. I usually get along googling the way - but in this case I am afraid to lose my data. | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | SnipeDOG tip: backup first | 11:11 |
| geez[m] | Always backup. Everything. All the time. | 11:11 |
| geez[m] | No excuses | 11:11 |
| tomreyn | and once that's done, run some mdadm experiments | 11:12 |
| SnipeDOG | geez - thanks. Here is what has happened: I run a RAID5 array to store movies for my PLEX server. Recently one of the hard drives was marked as faulty. I added a spare. While it was re-shaping there was a power cut (classic!). Not the array is inactive and it says Raid Level: raid0 but further down it said "New Level: Raid5". I am completely lost and not sure what to do. | 11:12 |
| SnipeDOG | geez - thats why I run a RAID5. | 11:12 |
| SnipeDOG | The data is way too big to backup. | 11:13 |
| tomreyn | well RAID is not backup | 11:13 |
| SnipeDOG | Version : 1.2 | 11:13 |
| SnipeDOG | Raid Level : raid0 | 11:13 |
| SnipeDOG | Total Devices : 7 | 11:13 |
| SnipeDOG | Persistence : Superblock is persistent | 11:13 |

| SnipeDOG | They weren't spares before. They were properly functioning and filled with data. Only after the crash they are marked as spare now. | 11:17 |
| ikonia | SnipeDOG: I suspect you are now in a high risk situation | 11:17 |
| ikonia | SnipeDOG: you need to start the array to understand what state the metadata thinks it's in | 11:18 |
| SnipeDOG | Yeah...Thats what I fear too.. Hence I need someone to help me please... | 11:18 |
| ikonia | as the config files probably won't mirror the state | 11:18 |
| geez[m] | SnipeDOG: What's in /etc/mdadm.conf? | 11:18 |

| SnipeDOG | ikonia - I am a newbie. I would appreciate help. | 11:18 |
| tomreyn | SnipeDOG: sudo parted -ls | pastebinit | 11:19 |
| ikonia | SnipeDOG: have a listen to what others think, I think you need to start the array to understand the reality of your metadata, to a certain extent what's in the config files at this state doesn't matter | 11:19 |

| runessa | Hi guys! | 12:09 |
| blackbird1 | Is there a command line to know if the live USB is persistent or not ? | 12:09 |
| MonkeyDust | blackbird1 did you create a persistent live usb? | 12:10 |
| ioria | blackbird1, try this http://askubuntu.com/questions/46840/check-if-pendrive-is-persistent | 12:11 |
| blackbird1 | MonkeyDust: I think so, I create it with Startup Disk Creator | 12:12 |
| === me is now known as Guest53945 | ||
| blackbird1 | ioria: that file casper-rw doesn't exist ! | 12:14 |
| blackbird1 | even syslinux.cfg ! | 12:14 |
| ioria | blackbird1, well, try to install or write something, reboot and test, i'd say | 12:14 |
| blackbird1 | Sorry but this is solution is bad, each time when I wanna check if the live USB is persistent or not, I have to boot on live USB --> add something --> reboot on the live USB --> check | 12:17 |
| blackbird1 | this solution* | 12:18 |
| ioria | blackbird1, so use the first 'solution', check if casper-rw exists | 12:18 |
| blackbird1 | ioria: casper-rw doesn't exis | 12:19 |
| ioria | blackbird1, ok | 12:19 |

| irthewinner | Hi guys. what's the main difference between Ubuntu (Unity) and Ubuntu Gnome (and what do you recommend for a Desktop user) | 12:24 |
| MonkeyDust | irthewinner unity has the launcher on the left, gnome-shell looks different | 12:24 |
| MonkeyDust | irthewinner http://imgur.com/a/9iaLJ#cMfLqdM | 12:26 |
| blackbird1 | irthewinner: I think it 's the design and how launch applications | 12:26 |
| irthewinner | but other than the UI (user interface) is there anything else different? apps / drivers / support | 12:26 |
| MonkeyDust | irthewinner the repos (software sources) are the same | 12:26 |
| blackflow | irthewinner: I'd recommend Unity. Gnome is going the route of removing functionality in the name of simplicity or whatever, plus it's visually "fatter" while Unity is ergonomicaly more useful, IMHO. | 12:26 |
| blackflow | afaik you can install both in parallel and see what you prefer better yourself. | 12:27 |
| irthewinner | strange thing, because my friend had problems with NVIDIA drivers in Unity but worked great on Gnome | 12:28 |
| blackbird1 | ioria: thanks I'll try in 2s :) | 12:28 |
| blackbird1 | see you soon | 12:28 |
| blackflow | irthewinner: so one issue automatically makes the whole thing bad in comparison? | 12:28 |
| irthewinner | no, I mean maybe there's a bit of difference (other than the UI I mean) | 12:29 |
| MonkeyDust | irthewinner then it looks like you found a differnece | 12:29 |
| harovali | hi, How can I disable automatic time and date update ? I'd kill the ntp process, but there is no process by this name | 12:29 |
| blackflow | irthewinner: there are technical differences in compositors for example | 12:30 |
| harovali | in ubuntu 16.04 lts | 12:30 |
| blackflow | harovali: the default is systemd-timesyncd iirc | 12:30 |
| MonkeyDust | harovali in the system settings > date & time ... disable Network time | 12:31 |

| feneco | hi, after update my hotkey to change tty (ctrl+alt+F#) changed to only (alt+F#) any idea how to change it back? I think I confirmed it on a dialog during the update but I don't know how to change it again | 12:33 |
| harovali | what's the difference between time-sync.target and systemd-timesyncd.service ? | 12:35 |
| JRSS121 | hi guys, I'm trying to create a USB Live CD for Kali for my ARM Chromebook, as Kali describes in their website. However, I can't get the dd commanad to work. Can someone help? | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | JRSS121 kali is noty supported here | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | JRSS121 neither is ARM | 12:41 |
| JRSS121 | well the command is the same as any other distribution no? it's just the syntax | 12:41 |
| MonkeyDust | JRSS121 then try any other distribution's channel | 12:42 |
| JRSS121 | ok thanks. | 12:42 |
| ducasse | !kali | JRSS121 | 12:42 |
| ubottu | JRSS121: Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu itself, as other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) | 12:42 |
| MonkeyDust | 'gnewsense'? prunounced as 'g-nuissance'? | 12:46 |
| ducasse | never even heard of that one. | 12:46 |

| angel-swe | This wont delete My dualboot winfows right | 13:54 |
| angel-swe | Just the old ubuntu | 13:54 |
| ppf | so, this is a repeating issue and it's a bit annoying: | 13:55 |
| ppf | i'm on a laptop, using wifi. | 13:55 |
| ppf | a couple minutes after the machine is booted, there appears to be a slight hickup in the network | 13:55 |
| ppf | the ping rises by a factor 10 briefly | 13:56 |
| jackhum | hello peeps , i am trying to enable swipe to change workspace gestures in my dell 5520 , | 13:56 |
| ppf | the problem is that i open ssh sessions shortly after startup, and when this happens, the connections hang and i have to kill them forcefully | 13:56 |
| jackhum | i tried this https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma , in lenovo ideapad and it worked properly | 13:56 |
| angel-swe | Did abyone seen My screenshot | 13:57 |
| ppf | any way to pin down the problem? or to make ssh resilient against this? | 13:57 |
| === fred_ is now known as Guest51852 | ||

| jackhum | lucas-arg, are you tring to do what i am trying to do? | 14:01 |
| lucas-arg | jackhum, i dunno what are you tryin to do? | 14:01 |
| lucas-arg | !synaptics | 14:02 |
| ubottu | For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad | 14:02 |
| lucas-arg | well already seen that web doesnt tell me much | 14:02 |
| scatterp | hi can some one help me my ubuntu server has totally frozen up even after a reboot i need to figure out whats wrong with it... i have ssh access but its slow .. | 14:02 |
| jackhum | lucas-arg, i am trying to enable three finger swipe workspace gestures in my dell 5520 laptop | 14:03 |
| MonkeyDust | scatterp do you also have physical access? | 14:03 |
| ducasse | ppf: maybe mosh would be a good tool for you? | 14:03 |
| scatterp | MonkeyDust yes | 14:03 |
| lucas-arg | problem i have is that for some reason, ubuntu does not detects my touchpad as synaptics (even though it is a synaptics touchpad) it detects is as ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse | 14:03 |
| jackhum | i tried doing it , on a new lenovo ideapad , and it works , but it is not working on my laptop | 14:03 |
| jackhum | i tried using https://github.com/iberianpig/fusuma , | 14:03 |
| lucas-arg | im trying to make it work correctly that would be a start... | 14:03 |
| scatterp | MonkeyDust ubuntu 16 running on esxi as a vm .. 4gb of ram allocated when i last rebooted | 14:04 |
| lucas-arg | i had to add some i8042.nomux=1 etc to make it work ok, and now im tryin to make two finger scrolling work | 14:04 |
| scatterp | MonkeyDust it only has lamp nothing else running on it | 14:04 |
| lucas-arg | jackhum, did you use xinput list-props <device>? | 14:05 |
| angel-swe | BluesKaj: I am using ubuntu ads dualboot side to Windows 7 and want to keep it Like that. Is that choice for that? | 14:06 |
| lucas-arg | angel-swe, windows 7 is a >10 year OS | 14:06 |
| angel-swe | I know that | 14:07 |
| scatterp | MonkeyDust i think its a memory issue | 14:07 |
| jackhum | lucas-arg, ? | 14:08 |
| lucas-arg | jackhum, try xinpit list in terminal and see what options does your driver give you under linux and see if you have three finger option to enable it | 14:08 |
| ppf | ducasse: what's it do? | 14:08 |
| BluesKaj | angel-swe, you'll see all thepsrtitions , and format the ext4 and set the mountpoint as / (root) | 14:08 |
| jackhum | lucas-arg, Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] | 14:09 |
| jackhum | ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4[slave pointer (2)] | 14:09 |
| jackhum | ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad | 14:09 |
| ppf | ducasse: looks like a replacement for ssh that isn't hurt so much by connection issues? | 14:09 |
| ducasse | ppf: right. | 14:09 |
| ppf | ducasse: i might give it a show. actually, i'd like to understand where the network issue is coming from | 14:09 |
| ppf | it's 100% reproducible. independent on the wifi | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | angel-swe, and don't do anything to the NTFS (Windows) partition, and you'll be fine | 14:10 |
| ppf | always occurs within 5 minutes of system uptime | 14:10 |
| ducasse | ppf: of course, but mosh can be good to know about. i'm not sure what the actual problem could be, what chipset is this? | 14:10 |
| lucas-arg | jackhum, xinput list-props 4 but copy and paste that in some paste web app or something | 14:11 |
| ppf | ducasse: intel i5 | 14:13 |
| ducasse | ppf: i mean wifi chipset | 14:14 |
| ppf | intel 8260 | 14:15 |
| angel-swe | BluesKaj: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/e7g71TL9/irccloudcapture1701244308.jpg | 14:16 |
| angel-swe | Isnt this option what ur talking about | 14:16 |
| ducasse | ppf: they typically work well, afaik. haven't heard of similar issues. | 14:16 |
| scatterp | hi can some one help me my ubuntu server has totally frozen up even after a reboot i need to figure out whats wrong with it... i have ssh access but its slow .. it seems like apache2 is using 90.8% of my 4gb of memory ... is this normal ? | 14:18 |

| ducasse | ppf: i mean ac, n, g etc. 5ghz, so it's either n or ac | 14:24 |
| ppf | n | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | angel-swe, no, look at the bottom of the page, Something Else, it's shouid be called Manual | 14:25 |

Switching it to ACHI / SATA makes it possible for Ubuntu to see it. | 15:02 |

| jackhum | _28Kb, 2 fingers are working fine , but i dont see any detection for 3 fingers | 15:10 |
| jackhum | _28Kb, its not like my touchpad doesnt detect 3 fingers , infact it can for 4 fingers too , but no luck on ubuntu | 15:10 |

| ducasse | Tatou: mail is just text anyway. | 15:26 |
| Tatou | Going to clean the shit out of my email frst with thunderbird. So much crap in there | 15:27 |
| MonkeyDust | Tatou mind your language | 15:27 |
| MonkeyDust | you're not at a Trump conference | 15:27 |
| Tatou | I wish I was :/ | 15:27 |
| Southern_Gentlem | MonkeyDust, wouldntthat have been a DNC | 15:28 |
| Tatou | I kid. But for real, cursing is ok so long as it's not directed at someone | 15:28 |
| Tatou | Intent is key | 15:28 |
| MonkeyDust | Tatou still, avoid profane words, here | 15:29 |
| Tatou | -_- thunderbird is struggling with my gmail account | 15:29 |
| ikonia | Tatou: cursing is no ok - please don't use it | 15:29 |
| Tatou | Why are people so offended by cursing? | 15:30 |
| Tatou | You give those words power when you fear them so much | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Tatou: keep it simple - don't use it | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Tatou: no one is feearing anything, the channels rules are polite converastion no swearing | 15:30 |
| * OerHeks mumbles 'family-friendly' | 15:30 | |
| Tatou | It was polite though, it was not directed at anyone | 15:30 |
| ikonia | Tatou: polite conversation, no searing | 15:30 |
| ikonia | swearing | 15:30 |
| genii | Also, no searing | 15:31 |
| Tatou | See I wouldn't call swearing impolite | 15:31 |
| Tatou | Ok is it normal for thunderbird to struggle this much? | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Tatou: there is a comma there, polite converaation and no swearing | 15:31 |
| ikonia | Tatou: it's not really a debate, please just don't swear | 15:31 |
| ikonia | thunderbird works well, until you ask it to do more than your ram can handle | 15:31 |
| Tatou | This is what I mean though - a single curse word and it's derailed the entire channel | 15:31 |
| Tatou | I've never minded cursing, but I am also in a profession where it's totally tolerated. | 15:32 |
| ikonia | Tatou: no, you have by arguing it, rather than just saying "sure, no problem" | 15:32 |
| Tatou | I wish there was a nice way to load my emails into splunk.. | 15:33 |
| Tatou | Would mutt let me see clearly what is cluttering my inbox? | 15:34 |
| Tatou | I have 28k messages -_- | 15:35 |
| ducasse | Tatou: also check out supmail | 15:35 |
| ikonia | Tatou: its probably your imap server having a problem | 15:35 |
| rbw | how to create a post-suspend job in ubuntu? | 15:35 |
| Tatou | Yes I imagine so ikonia | 15:35 |
| Tatou | I just want to cut down on the junk in there.. I need to start unsubbing to things | 15:35 |
| minimec | jackhum: Can you 'handle' some terminal commands in case you lose the mouse or touchpad? My idea would be to replace 'xserver-xorg-input-libinput' with 'xserver-xorg-input-synaptics' for a try. The synaptics driver is the 'old standard' before the whole linux world switched to 'libinput'. It's worth a try I guess. | 15:36 |
| MonkeyDust | rbw you mean, a job after your machine wakes up from suspend? rtcwake can do that | 15:37 |
| Tatou | ha.. It's stuff like this.. I set myself as a recipient of error emails at work... So now i have a million of them | 15:38 |
| ikonia | Tatou: do you have access to the mail server - or only via a client | 15:39 |
| === Chinesium is now known as Chinesium_Leavin | ||
| Tatou | ikonia: It's gmail | 15:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Tatou create a filter, that deletes every message with 'unsubscribe' in it | 15:39 |
| ikonia | Tatou: that is limiting, I "think" you maybe able to pre-filter in gmail, I'm not sure though | 15:39 |
| Tatou | So look at this.. 15k of error emails from a service I wrote at my last job.. | 15:39 |
| rbw | MonkeyDust: yeah, when it wakes up. | 15:39 |
| rbw | MonkeyDust: can't it be done using systemd? | 15:40 |
| OerHeks | LessSecureApps gmail's option must be enabled in gmail, for any mailclient | 15:40 |
| Tatou | I generally need to just clean up my mail etc tbh | 15:40 |
| Tatou | I'm trying to generally clean up essential online services and whatnot right now.. Password managers, email, ynab, and I'm scripting out a lot of workflows I do daily on my personal laptop | 15:41 |
| === gal is now known as gsagie | ||
| Tatou | I might see if I can set up rules where it auto deletes some things after 10 days.. I want notifying, but not history.. | 15:42 |
| ikonia | Tatou: this is probably quite a bit outside the bounderies of this channels topic/focus | 15:43 |
| Tatou | Yeah, that it is | 15:43 |
| Tatou | Though I must say - it is great to be back on linux. Having such a nice scriptable ecosystem is fantastic | 15:44 |
| ducasse | Tatou: sup-mail might be what you want, it's first priority is to make it easy to handle massive amounts of mail. | 15:45 |
| MonkeyDust | rbw not sure about systemd, but explore the rtcwake command | 15:45 |
| ducasse | *its | 15:45 |
| Tatou | ducasse: I'll check that and mutmail out :) | 15:45 |
| ducasse | Tatou: 'mutt' | 15:46 |
| Tatou | My bad :3 | 15:47 |
| Tatou | Either way, down from 35k to 3.5k so it's all good | 15:47 |
| rbw | MonkeyDust: according to the freedesktop documentation you can place post scripts under /usr/lib/systemd/system-sleep , I'll try that instead. I'll look into rtcwake if this doesn't work. Thanks :) | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | rbw a thank you for the system-sleep tip | 15:49 |

| adaviator | https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 16:23 |
| adaviator | i expected NetworkManager | 16:23 |
| ducasse | adaviator: network manager is only used if you install a desktop environment. | 16:24 |
| compdoc | sicko, your equation is bad | 16:24 |
| Tatou | What I love about win10 - the nice bing daily image lockscreen images | 16:28 |
| Tatou | Is there a nice way to get this on the ubuntu? | 16:28 |
| adaviator | aight.. i assume /etc/network/interfaces will be run on reboot too and i dont need to enable anything like how i would in systemd with `systemctl enable NetworkManager` | 16:29 |
| adaviator | yep it is | 16:31 |
| darkad | Hi all, do you think it would be better a kernel 3.x for a 32bit atom n270 netbook? | 16:32 |
| AssociateX | How can I tell which DM I am using? | 16:36 |
| OerHeks | what DM > dpkg -l | awk '$2 ~ /dm$/' | 16:37 |
| sicko | compdoc, How can i change it. I realized that by removing the 2 it does recognize it. But i want the particular python 2 . How do i include a constant in the regex | 16:37 |
| compdoc | sicko, you might look at using eval | 16:38 |
| ducasse | darkad: probably doesn't matter. a netbook is not going to be good for much anyway. | 16:38 |
| AssociateX | OerHeks, I see lightDM and sddm. | 16:39 |
| OerHeks | cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager # this is more accurate | 16:40 |
| OerHeks | AssociateX, yes, i found that out myself 2, ldm and lightdm | 16:40 |
| AssociateX | OerHeks, thanks, it's lightdm | 16:40 |
| darkad | ducasse: still searching for a solution for my old cpu | 16:41 |
| sicko | compdoc, can you give me a little more info? I'll follow it up | 16:41 |
| AssociateX | Now, why does logging into lightdm take so long? After I enter my password it sits for 20 seconds doing nothing, then logs in. | 16:41 |
| ducasse | darkad: what's the problem? | 16:41 |
| darkad | ducasse: Browsing hotmail gmail or facebook it goes very slow | 16:42 |
| darkad | ducasse: I'm with chromium | 16:42 |
| ducasse | darkad: yes, it's going to be - it's an atom netbook. they're super-slow. | 16:43 |
| compdoc | sicko, https://pastebin.com/NhmjnWWK | 16:43 |
| darkad | ducasse: a way to not create other trash | 16:43 |
| ducasse | darkad: your choice, that machine will never be fast. | 16:45 |
| sicko | compdoc, Python_Version = $ python --version | 16:45 |
| sicko | so it'll give me the same output | 16:45 |
| compdoc | whatever works :) | 16:46 |
| sicko | I need to put a constant '2' in my reg ex. | 16:46 |
| ioria | sicko, python writes the version string on stderr, so you need python_version=$(python --version 2>&1) | 16:46 |

| ducasse | darkad: that cpu is 9 years old, a single-core 1.6ghz atom. it *is* slow, no matter what you do. it won't magically become a speed-monster. | 16:51 |
| warrshrike | i cant access my samba share from windows | 16:51 |
| warrshrike | any ideas | 16:51 |
| warrshrike | also it asks for a password and I dont want that | 16:51 |
| MonkeyDust | warrshrike it's because linux requires a password, for safety | 16:52 |
| warrshrike | MonkeyDust: no way to disable it for samba? | 16:52 |
| warrshrike | its just on local lan so no security issues. | 16:52 |
| pauljw | darkad, that processor is also a 32-bit processor, you cannot put a 64-bit os on it. | 16:53 |
| warrshrike | also i cant access it with password too | 16:53 |
| warrshrike | any other ideas to share to windows? | 16:53 |
| darkad | ducasse: javascript frameworks that are using amazon facebook or hotmail are too heavy and a lot of images too. Everything else works fine | 16:54 |

| adaviator | mount /dev/md127 /mnt/ | 16:56 |
| adaviator | mount: /dev/md127: can't read superblock | 16:56 |
| adaviator | why? | 16:56 |
| pauljw | darkad, and that's about as good as you're going to get. maybe try a lighter distro, something like puppy linux or dsl. your machine is actually at the end of its usefulness imo. might need to look into an upgrade. :) | 16:58 |
| darkad | I'm wondering if my netbook would be faster with a 3.x kernel rather than a 4.x actual kernel | 16:59 |

| sebsebseb | gksudo is installed by default | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | sudo is for command line programs | 18:01 |
| ioria | not sure about that | 18:01 |
| sebsebseb | !gksudo | 18:01 |

| xenux | But I can't found a solution for run my installed Ubuntu in EFI mode so I can install EFI with apt-get | 19:34 |

| quard | ubiquity complains that /boot is encrypted and refuses to continue, wants an unencrypted /boot. So I am trying to give it one. | 20:08 |
| Jordan_U | quard: Can you temporarily put /boot/ on a USB drive, to later move it back into your root filesystem? | 20:09 |
| Jordan_U | quard: Is this a BIOS or UEFI based install? Why do you care about /boot/ being encrypted? There shouldn't be anything secret in /boot/. | 20:10 |
| quard | Jordan_U: I anticipated that answer. The shotr answer is yes I can, but I won't. The long answer is that I'm going to write a tutorial about this and I can't expect every reader to have an extra USB key handy. So I am trying to avoid using any extra devices. | 20:10 |
| quard | It's BIOS. | 20:10 |
| quard | short* | 20:11 |
| Jordan_U | quard: Why do you want /boot/ to be encrypted? Do you have a plan for getting past having to enter your LUKS password twice, once for grub and again for linux? | 20:11 |

| quard | hmm | 20:14 |
| quard | I never thought ubiquity would be so much trouble | 20:15 |
| Jordan_U | quard: I also still don't see any advantage to encrypting /boot/. Encrypting keeps things secret. Everything in /boot/ should be publicly available in Ubuntu's repositories. Despite what some people think, encrypting /boot/ doesn't prevent someone from modifying the bootloader to record your password and do whatever it wants with it (if they get physical access to the computer, or root access remotely). | 20:17 |
| quard | bootloader will be moved to the flash rom as a coreboot payload. | 20:18 |

| doge-doge | hey guys, quick support question, basically since luks takes up a large portion of /boot, how do old kernels get auto-removed to prevent /boot from overflowing when updating the system? | 22:27 |
| doge-doge | the old kernels do indeed to get marked as "autoremovable" in synaptic, do you just need to run this command periodically? | 22:28 |
| doge-doge | i usually check up on the free space whenever a new kernel is installed by doing a "df -h |grep boot" | 22:29 |
| ikonia | what is it you're actually asking here ? | 22:29 |
| jackson435 | Hey guys. When I log onto the irc server I get this error "* Can't open log file(s) for writing. Check the | 22:30 |
| jackson435 | permissions on /home/jackson/.config/hexchat/logs/NETWORK/server.log" I believe it has to do with my permissions, | 22:30 |
| doge-doge | is there an automatic mechanism by which old kernels get removed in /boot so it doesn't overflow when you update the system? | 22:30 |
| jackson435 | anyone able to help me remove it | 22:30 |
| Bashing-om | doge-doge: Yepper : enabling autoremove in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades . | 22:30 |
| doge-doge | I believe that's enabled by selecting "download and install security updates manually" | 22:31 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: it used to do kernel n-1 as an install hook, but for someone unknown reason that was removed, so you need to use the autoremove to keep on top of it | 22:31 |
| === gm is now known as Guest67254 | ||
| ikonia | you can use the unattended-upgrades file as Bashing-om suggested, I'm not personally convinced it's a mature enough solution yet | 22:31 |
| maddawg2 | isnt that what 'apt-get autoremove' is for? | 22:31 |
| doge-doge | but I'm used to simply updating via the cmd line sudo apt upgrade, which I think bypasses unattended-upgrades | 22:31 |
| Didact69 | is there a gui to look at my Hard disks, specifically I want to mount my 3tb drive | 22:31 |
| ikonia | maddawg2: yes, but the point is should you really have to manually run that for a software package set that is cumulative | 22:32 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: it dosn't bypass it | 22:32 |
| ikonia | Didact69: the default file manager | 22:32 |
| maddawg2 | ikonia i agree | 22:32 |
| doge-doge | i'm curious how this doesn't affect more people since we're talking about a manual intervention here? | 22:32 |
| maddawg2 | i got bit in the ass the other day by it | 22:33 |
| doge-doge | although I do believe /boot is 512MB by defualt and that fits a lot of kernel images, maybe 20-30 | 22:33 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: most people size boot to an appropriate size for the lifecycle of their install - or come here complaining they are out of space | 22:33 |
| doge-doge | hahah | 22:33 |
| maddawg2 | yea like me | 22:33 |
| maddawg2 | lol | 22:33 |
| ikonia | 500mb is not 20 kernels | 22:33 |
| maddawg2 | i should increase my size | 22:34 |
| doge-doge | well w/e the num ber | 22:34 |
| OerHeks | one does backups, one does cleanups.. | 22:34 |
| ikonia | OerHeks: sadly that is not the norm for people | 22:34 |
| maddawg2 | i got like 96TB to blow might as well give my /boot some size | 22:34 |
| doge-doge | esp. if you need to bring in firmware and headers, along with the main kernel images...they also fit into /boot | 22:34 |
| Didact69 | ok, I 've got a drive that mounted, and I don't know where it's mounted it's called 3tb | 22:34 |
| OerHeks | ikonia, wet from moore, 1 backup is not enough these days | 22:34 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: no they don't | 22:34 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: they go in /lib | 22:34 |
| doge-doge | idk, have to check for sure | 22:35 |
| maddawg2 | Didact69, how do you know it's mounted? | 22:35 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: it goes into /lib | 22:35 |
| doge-doge | oh wow, so for an aveage kernel size of 70MB, that only fits ~7 images? | 22:35 |
| Didact69 | the file manager say it is and I can click unmount | 22:35 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: easy solution put an @reboot task in cron apt-get autoremove -y | 22:36 |
| ikonia | it's not what it should be but it will work | 22:36 |
| Didact69 | ok, I looked at the mtab | 22:37 |
| doge-doge | we gotta be carefull about running autoremove too since things like vlc can easily be marked as removable if things like rythmbox is uninstalled or some silly thing | 22:37 |
| maddawg2 | Didact69, in the command prompt you could do a 'df -h' | 22:37 |
| ikonia | doge-doge: not really only if it's orphaned | 22:37 |
| maddawg2 | it should list all drives | 22:37 |
| ikonia | and if it's orphaned, you don't want it on the system | 22:37 |
| maddawg2 | and i believe it shows the mount points too | 22:37 |
| Didact69 | yeah, it does, now I need to decide where I want it to automount | 22:37 |
| maddawg2 | put it in /mnt | 22:38 |
| Didact69 | hmmm | 22:38 |
| Didact69 | ok | 22:38 |
| doge-doge | ikonia, i like that cron suggestion but again I want to absolutely make sure I know what i'm autoremoving before running the cmd | 22:38 |
| doge-doge | dry-runs | 22:39 |
| maddawg2 | that's what /mnt is for | 22:39 |
| maddawg2 | lol | 22:39 |
| olmari | I don't knoe is this question for ubuntu or ubuntu-dev but... I got weird problem with network-manager or more deep... it basically says "device not managed" for every dvice I have and I have exhausted the usuals.. having no /etc/interfaces/network conf, or having auto, NM related.. "looked all internet" but still no go | 22:39 |
| Didact69 | yeah, that makes sense | 22:39 |
| Didact69 | how do I find out it's unique id ? | 22:40 |
| ikonia | olmari: how many devices do you have ? | 22:40 |
| olmari | I did install ubuntu "trough" debootstap basically (ZFS) and that is the diffirnece... but it is not ZFSW problem itself, it comes if doing similar setup with ext4 too | 22:40 |
| olmari | ikonia: wlan, wired and mobile | 22:40 |
| olmari | plain normal GUI install those work, so.. | 22:41 |
| ikonia | why did you install it through debootstrap | 22:41 |
| ikonia | as oppposed to a normal installer routine | 22:41 |
| olmari | ikonia: because can't install onto ZFS root without | 22:41 |
| ikonia | what does the syslog show network manager doing with the interfaces at boot time | 22:41 |
| olmari | ikonia: let's (try to) see | 22:42 |
| === highlander_ is now known as qwant | ||
| ikonia | olmari: have yoy actually looked at the syslog yet ? | 22:42 |
| olmari | ikonia: at some point yes, figured I'd dig this again now :) | 22:43 |
| olmari | ikonia: the thing is, I don't see anything really failing there relating NetworkManager | 22:44 |
| ikonia | I'm not looking for a failure | 22:45 |
| ikonia | I'm looking for what the syslog says network manager is doing with the interfaces | 22:45 |
| olmari | ikonia: I'll pastebin | 22:46 |
| ikonia | don't need a pastebin | 22:46 |
| ikonia | just human summary of what it's doing | 22:46 |
| olmari | well one oopsie I do see "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files", before NM starting even comes... then it does find all devices (so them existing isn't the prob), loads plugins etc.. all normal stuff basically... | 22:49 |
| ikonia | are you trying to use the network manager applet, or the network manager command line | 22:50 |
| olmari | applet | 22:50 |
| ikonia | olmari: verify from the command line | 22:51 |
| ikonia | the applet is not network manager, it's an interface to it | 22:51 |
| ikonia | you need to know what the problem is | 22:51 |
| olmari | ikonia: well I could try, never tried that really... :) | 22:51 |
| Didact69 | how do u save stuff in nano ? | 22:52 |
| dn1987p | ctrl + o | 22:52 |
| Didact69 | ah, ty, guess write out = save | 22:52 |
| olmari | ikonia: all devices "unmanaged" as figured earlier, tough done everything internet suggest to remedy that, still no :D | 22:53 |
| OerHeks | olmari is this on a laptop? some have a FN key to turn wifi on | 22:54 |
| olmari | OerHeks: yes, and it is.. but also affects wired | 22:54 |
| olmari | all interfaces works when fiddling manually (well 3g-modem too should I know connect.scdripts, but anyway, hardware is enabled) | 22:55 |
| ikonia | olmari: what network manager command line did you run | 22:56 |
| olmari | I'd need to figure out what in earth does "normal" ubuntu install do that debootstarp method doesn't.. (ie base CLI, from there "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop") doesn't | 22:56 |
| olmari | ikonia: nmcli d to show devices | 22:56 |
| ikonia | olmari: if you run "nmcli device status" what do you get | 22:57 |

| olmari | ikonia: a damned big thank you | 23:13 |
| ikonia | not a problem | 23:13 |
| Tatou | Silly question - if I specify a cron to run every 2 hours, but reboot my machine every 1 hour .. wiill it ever run? | 23:13 |
| dn1987p | if your machine is running at the point of time specified for the cronjob, it should | 23:14 |
| olmari | ikonia: "won't fix" is kind of stupid resolution there... or well maybe more of broader thing than that... because method of installing ubuntu desktop shouldn't IMHO affect this, even if the explanation there would be correct in itself | 23:14 |
| Tatou | But the cron is specifed for every 2 hours, dn1987p | 23:14 |
| Tatou | When does that 2 hour start? is the question.. | 23:14 |
| dn1987p | Tatou, depends how its specified | 23:16 |
| olmari | Tatou: AFAIK in general it will... as it is fixed to clock, not counting uptime... tough ofcourse if machine is not on when cronjob should be executed, then not | 23:16 |
| dn1987p | 0 */2 * * * script.sh would run at 2:00 4:00 etc | 23:17 |
| Tatou | ok, that will do.. It's a shame that cron itself doesn't have the same options as in windows | 23:17 |
| Tatou | Where you can say "run at next possible time if missed" | 23:18 |
| ikonia | it does that | 23:18 |
| ikonia | you set it it to run every 2 hours | 23:18 |
| ikonia | it will run at the next 2 hour window if missed | 23:18 |
| olmari | Tatou: http://serverfault.com/questions/52335/job-scheduling-using-crontab-what-will-happen-when-computer-is-shutdown-during has more info | 23:19 |
| ikonia | olmari: maybe worth re-opening that bug with your views on it | 23:19 |
| Tatou | Sure, ikonia .. But if I miss it by 1 min it will not do it for another 119 minutes | 23:19 |
| ikonia | the installing from an unsuported method is a valid reason not to fix it, but I don't think the root of it is the install method | 23:19 |
| ikonia | Tatou: because you tell it to | 23:19 |
| dn1987p | Tatou, check out the link and look for anacron | 23:20 |
| ikonia | that is the point of a time based scheuduler, not a task based one | 23:20 |
| olmari | ikonia: exactly, like few of those posters did kind of say too :) | 23:20 |
| Tatou | dn1987p: I'm looking it up :-) | 23:20 |
| Tatou | sigh, sometimes I despair at the state of puppet modules.. Anacron on ubuntu is a nogo | 23:20 |
| ikonia | anacron is nothing to do with puppet | 23:21 |
| Tatou | No, but I deploy this stuff through puppet | 23:21 |
| ikonia | you can deploy anacron jobs via puppet just fine | 23:22 |
| ikonia | it even has a resource for it | 23:22 |
| Tatou | I'm not seeing this resource | 23:22 |
| olmari | ikonia: maybe I will reopen it even... reasoning is flawed... true server is not likely wanted "all of the sudden wanted t ohave NM doing stuff", but installing ubuntu-desktop is kind of exactly what user wants to do when doing that... :D | 23:22 |
| Tatou | I see cron | 23:22 |
| ikonia | I think you have to inculde the anacron module - which defines the resource | 23:23 |
| ikonia | you just don't have to use the module | 23:23 |
| Tatou | heh, I just find it easier to manage state via puppet | 23:23 |
| Tatou | But puppet modules can be so hit and miss.. | 23:23 |
| Tatou | Regardless, anacron looks like it's a worthwile read :-) | 23:24 |
| Tatou | as-is I schedule daily jobs @ 9pm, when I will more than liekly be on | 23:25 |
| olmari | ikonia: can I reopen it even? or "just" add comments | 23:26 |
| ikonia | just add the command | 23:26 |
| olmari | ikonia: well it is marked as dupe of newer bug which is still open | 23:26 |
| ikonia | olmari: good spot, get on that bug | 23:27 |
| olmari | confirmed :) | 23:27 |
| olmari | that status :) | 23:27 |

| fred911 | I need help getting ALSA to add HDMI surround 5.1 as an available profile, any help here? | 23:42 |
| YopPeople | hello everyone, i want to make an arcade with my old computer with 1Mo ram and a poor graphic card (1To memory, useless but that's all I have) and I would like to know which distribution of *buntu is the best to just execute the game users will launch and take care of as little as possible of the rest and which graphical interface i have to choose ? If you have some ideas to help me, your welcome. thanks ! | 23:43 |
| tacomaster | Does ubuntu support secureboot with out tweaking anything from a fresh install? | 23:45 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Yes | 23:46 |
| olmari | tacomaster: yes | 23:46 |
| OerHeks | well, you need a efi partition... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:49 |
| OverrRyde | hi everyone, quick question: if i need VNC access to my headless server, do i need X11VNC or Tight/TigerVNC? i am a little confused! | 23:52 |
| fred911 | OverrRyde: I'd just install Remmina it should have what you need | 23:54 |
| OerHeks | headless .. | 23:54 |
| OverrRyde | i forgot to mention, i would need to be able to have have this launched prior to logging in and at boot | 23:55 |
| OerHeks | yes, ofcourse you do need that. you need a graphical login to your headless server before logging in on your machine, got ya. | 23:56 |
| olmari | OverrRyde: is there specific reason for VNC specifically isntead of SSH? | 23:57 |
| olmari | I do know many VPS providers also offers VNC connection to console, but that isn't what was asked really... but VNC to headless isn't totally out of the question, just not normally needed or used stuff really | 23:58 |
| OverrRyde | hmmm well i do use SSH for maintenance on the server, but would like to be able to use a virtual GUI for playing around, this is a home file server/web server for my own files/site | 23:58 |
| ubuntu-mate | hi, didnt use linux for 4 years now. what did i miss since the war of the desktop environments? | 23:59 |
| PipeItToDevNull | OverrRyde, you can pass X over SSH | 23:59 |
| PipeItToDevNull | ubuntu-mate, XFCE won | 23:59 |
| bazhang | ubuntu-mate, try in ##linux or the chat channel | 23:59 |
| olmari | OverrRyde: well if you want headless server to hae GUI then you do need some form of windowmanager etc, just like locally would | 23:59 |
| bazhang | #ubuntu-offtopic ubuntu-mate | 23:59 |
