| zeroeax | Can I do KVM PCIe Passgthrough with ubuntu? | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| zeroeax | my hardware supports it, and kvm supports it | 00:20 |
| zeroeax | does ubuntu have the packages compiled to support it? | 00:20 |
| zeroeax | usually people use debian, or in some cases citrix SUSE based host os | 00:21 |
| zeroeax | but I want ubuntu as my main OS, and I want to know if I can do it with ubuntu without serious modification | 00:21 |
| tonberry-king | Any one here know a decent amount of lvm ? | 00:24 |
| zeroeax | tonberry-king, I don't think so, I asked a pretty basic question, and 20 minutes later when I found the answer in the docs, no one had answered me yet | 00:31 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: Thanks | 00:31 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: Trying to figure out if i am able too stripe my boot partition | 00:32 |
| zeroeax | stripe? what do you mean? | 00:32 |
| tonberry-king | using lvm | 00:32 |
| tonberry-king | Like raid 0 | 00:32 |
| zeroeax | oh, I don't know anything about using RAID, I know how it works, but I've never used it with linux | 00:33 |
| tonberry-king | I know you cant raid 0 a boot partition with mdadm | 00:33 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: It's cool | 00:33 |
| zeroeax | Like, I've read detailed technical documentation on RAID, but i've never set it up on linux | 00:33 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: On the lvm channel, figuring it out | 00:34 |
| zeroeax | cool tonberry-king | 00:34 |
| zeroeax | good luck with that | 00:34 |
| zeroeax | oh, what's the channel | 00:34 |
| zeroeax | I still have a question too, related to the one no one here could answer | 00:35 |
| tonberry-king | Thanks man but i think i will have to mirror boot which is no biggie | 00:35 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: What was the question ? | 00:36 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| zeroeax | tonberry-king, if there is a way to make partitions adjust their sizes automatically, specifically my swap | 00:39 |
| zeroeax | I need more swap, but I ended up using commands to force it larger | 00:39 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: like automated resizing ? | 00:39 |
| zeroeax | yeah | 00:39 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: I dunno, never heard of that before | 00:39 |
| zeroeax | Like, it's supposed to make resizing and managing partitions more simple and manageable, so I thought MAYBE it would have a feature like that | 00:40 |
| zeroeax | It's a shot in the dark but you don't know unless you ask | 00:40 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: What is "making" resizing | 00:40 |
| tonberry-king | zeroeax: easier ? | 00:40 |
| tonberry-king | Are you talking about resize2fs ? | 00:42 |
| zeroeax | I don't know, that's what the ubuntu installer told me, it said it's used for easier managment and changes to your partitioning scheme | 00:42 |
| zeroeax | I never used LVM except when I needed full disk encryption, and I didn't care about what size the partitions were | 00:42 |
| zeroeax | so I know little to nothing about it | 00:42 |
| tonberry-king | LVM isn't encryption | 00:42 |
| tonberry-king | It's a partitioning scheme | 00:43 |
| zeroeax | tonberry-king, but ubuntu's installer requires you use it if you use the installers FDE option | 00:43 |
| zeroeax | like, if you set up full disk encryption with ubuntu's ubiquity installer, you must use LVM | 00:44 |
| zeroeax | and let ubuntu manage the whole thing | 00:44 |
| tonberry-king | LVM allows the ablility to move partition's with out umounting | 00:44 |
| zeroeax | tonberry-king, I see | 00:44 |
| tonberry-king | LUKS is the encryption i think | 00:45 |
| tonberry-king | Neither will automate | 00:45 |
| tonberry-king | AFAIK | 00:45 |
| zeroeax | yeah, but the ubuntu installer automatically selects use LVM(check box with no other options and a very limited description) when you tell it to encrypt your whole disk | 00:46 |
| tonberry-king | It automates the partitions | 00:46 |
| zeroeax | so that's what I know it from, and that's all i know it from | 00:46 |
| zeroeax | yeah... | 00:46 |
| zeroeax | I just got the impression that it was more capable from the little one line description in the installer | 00:47 |
| tonberry-king | No man | 00:47 |
| zeroeax | It didn't really explain it | 00:47 |
| zeroeax | no I accept you're right, I'm just explaining why i thought that | 00:47 |
| tonberry-king | fair imagine pie graphs it automates the sizes not the partitions | 00:48 |
| zeroeax | I see | 00:48 |
| zeroeax | Well, regardless, it does what I need it to, just not in a way I hoped would simplify it, but it is what it is, and it works for what it's intended to | 00:49 |
| zeroeax | I just used a couple commands to adjust the size of the swap | 00:49 |
| zeroeax | I need to buy a ram upgrade | 00:49 |
| tonberry-king | setup is simple maintenance is hard | 00:49 |
| zeroeax | I only have 8gb, and my laptop can support 16gb ram | 00:50 |
| zeroeax | if I had 16gb ram, I wouldn't need swap to compile huge things | 00:50 |
| tonberry-king | how much is your swap and are you on a ssd ? | 00:50 |
| zeroeax | I'm not on an SSD, i'm on a very slow hard drive | 00:50 |
| zeroeax | it's the slowest hard drive I've had in 10 years | 00:51 |
| tonberry-king | If anything goes into swap it will be slower than your hard drive | 00:51 |
| zeroeax | but I didn't buy the laptop for the hard drive, i bought it for the cpu and gpu | 00:51 |
| tonberry-king | If you have 8 gig swap thats plenty | 00:51 |
| zeroeax | I do intend to put in a 512gb SSD, and upgrade the ram from 8gb 1600mhz to 16gb 1866mhz | 00:52 |
| zeroeax | but money is a factor | 00:52 |
| tonberry-king | How big is the swap partition ? | 00:52 |
| zeroeax | 10gb | 00:52 |
| zeroeax | but swapiness is set to 0 | 00:52 |
| tonberry-king | your fine | 00:52 |
| zeroeax | I need non-swap | 00:52 |
| zeroeax | I don't want it to take me 10 hours to compile my custom android kernel | 00:53 |
| tonberry-king | Read into putting compile into ram | 00:53 |
| zeroeax | putting compile into ram? | 00:53 |
| tonberry-king | Like tempfs | 00:53 |
| zeroeax | what am i putting in the ramfs? | 00:54 |
| tonberry-king | you can mount ram into a tmpfs and use that space to compile faster | 00:54 |
| zeroeax | yeah, but I need the ram to compile | 00:54 |
| Kman | I have been using Ubuntu 14.04 for years, should i wait for the 18.04? | 00:54 |
| zeroeax | like, compiling this thing takes 6-7 gb of ram | 00:54 |
| zeroeax | which means I have to close every program I have to compile it | 00:55 |
| zeroeax | I can't even have a browser open | 00:55 |
| zeroeax | or it runs out of ram | 00:55 |
| tonberry-king | And droid kenrel is 6 gigs ? | 00:55 |
| Prince_ | how to install apt-get | 00:55 |
| zeroeax | The ggc front-end for compiling for this specific binary format is very very very bloated | 00:55 |
| tonberry-king | But a kernel being 6 gigs is over kill | 00:56 |
| OerHeks | Prince_, install ubuntu, it comes with apt | 00:56 |
| zeroeax | no it takes 6gb of ram during compilation, the kernel's source is only 300mb | 00:57 |
| Prince_ | i know OerHeks my mistake it uninstalled | 00:57 |
| zeroeax | It's because samsung doesn't know how to make a good compiler | 00:57 |
| tonberry-king | Well i dunno what to tell you man | 00:57 |
| zeroeax | tonberry-king, well, tell me to hurry up and get money for the ram upgrade i guess | 00:57 |
| fyan-rava | hello | 00:58 |
| zeroeax | haha, I'll afford it at the end of next month, it's budgeted, SSD and RAM | 00:58 |
| Prince_ | i use live cd but nothing happened as i changed root and tried to install it | 00:58 |
| zeroeax | I just have to deal with what I have until then | 00:58 |

| killtheliterate | hiya folks. trying to install ubuntu on an ssd, and am not quite sure on some terminology. Does "dual boot" refer to a single disk with multiple OS? If I'm installing Ubuntu on a separate drive, and will also be installing the bootloader to that drive, does that constitute a dual boot? | 02:36 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: yeah, dual boot applies to any scenario where you can run two operating systems on the same hardware | 02:38 |
| kk4ewt | techniclly dual boot is multple OS on one computer | 02:38 |
| killtheliterate | gotcha | 02:39 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: are you going to use UEFI or MBR boot? | 02:39 |
| killtheliterate | alright. trying to set up full disk encryption is a bit tricky then, it seems. I've failed a few times already | 02:39 |
| killtheliterate | I honestly don't know the difference between mbr and uefi | 02:39 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: is there something about dual boot that makes disk encryption trickier? | 02:40 |
| b-yeezi | channel list | 02:40 |
| ivan | apply LUKS to the Linux non-/boot partition and BitLocker to the Windows | 02:40 |
| b-yeezi | sorry wrong window... | 02:40 |
| killtheliterate | only guides i have found require setting up 3 separate partitions using the "something else" option... easy enough, but when I get to the last step, I get a warning "the attempt to mount a fs with type ext4..." and it just dies | 02:41 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: if you want to do it manually it's not that hard | 02:42 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: can you link to the instructions you followed? | 02:44 |

| Ben64 | it's not really a dual boot though... | 02:44 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: you don't need any LVM, or a /home, or a swap | 02:46 |
| ivan | use xfs instead of ext4 if you value your data | 02:46 |
| killtheliterate | Ben64 what you mean? | 02:47 |

| theablestman | exit? | 02:49 |
| killtheliterate | Ben64 Ah, right on, was thinking about doing that. Won't have problems once I plug the windows drive back in? | 02:49 |
| theablestman | nvm got it ty | 02:49 |
| ivan | killtheliterate: why would you? the motherboard looks for bootloaders on all the drives | 02:49 |
| killtheliterate | ivan that's why i'm asking. i don't know these things :P | 02:49 |
| Ben64 | might have to update grub to see windows, or just choose boot device at start | 02:50 |
| ivan | btw, if you have a UEFI boot, Windows will sometimes helpfully wipe out the Linux Boot* entries you have in your motherboard NVRAM | 02:50 |

| archpc | but wouldnt pci passthru to my gpu help remedy that or am i missing something | 02:56 |
| clackamas | arcphpc: for gaming, you are better off dual booting. Also, have you checked out Steam for Linux? | 02:56 |
| killtheliterate | alright, i'ma just go the "unplug the other drives" route. was putting the *nix bootloader on the new disk anyways | 02:56 |

| archpc | Oderus, DayZ and PUBG, which uses Battleeye anticheat which is undoable via wine, and a few other random ones | 02:59 |
| clackamas | err, ctl-alt F1-F6. ctl-alt F7 will bring backup Xwindow. | 02:59 |
| wastrel | or search for "terminal" in the dash | 03:00 |

| killtheliterate | clackamas: thought about that myself... i wasn't super impressed with the one a coworker has, but they have a bunch | 03:04 |
| clackamas | killtheliterate: what didn't impress you about it? | 03:05 |
| clackamas | killtheliterate: I am still on the fence. The MSI GS63VR is on the list as well as the Dell XPS 15. | 03:06 |
| clackamas | I don't want windows deciding that my bootload is corrupted. | 03:06 |
| renatosilva | is there any way to find out if the current release has been installed from scratch or if it's originated from a dist-upgrade? | 03:08 |
| killtheliterate | clackamas: just wasn't that sleek... and the touchpad broke at some point... was the oryx pro, so might as well of been a desktop :P | 03:09 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: dist-upgrade isn't what you think it is | 03:09 |
| clackamas | renatosilva: I dunno if dpkg / apt provides a history command like yum does. | 03:10 |
| DexDeadly | is there a way to just kind of reset an entire install of ubuntu on a webserver without reinstalling | 03:10 |
| Ben64 | DexDeadly: not really | 03:11 |
| fyan-rava | hello | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | renatosilva: Check if there exists a /var/log/dist-upgrade/. Though I will echo Ben64's comment that (despite even the name of that log directory) "dist-upgrade" is a poor term to use for upgrading from one Ubuntu release to another as "apt-get dist-upgrade" will *not* on its own upgrade you to a new release, and if you're using apt-get dist-upgrade as part of your method of upgrading then you are doing | 03:12 |
| renatosilva | clackamas: not sure either, but I wonder if there's a difference between installing from scratch or upgrading | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | it *wrong* as the only supported way is via do-release-upgrade / update-manager. | 03:12 |
| clackamas | renatosilva: you could look at /var/log/apt/history.log* | 03:12 |
| Ben64 | and 'apt-get dist-upgrade' should be used regularly to keep packages updated | 03:13 |
| DexDeadly | anyone using ISPCOnfig3? | 03:13 |
| Oderus | i always use apt instead of apt-get | 03:13 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: no such directory /var/log/dist-upgrade, so is that for sure a bare release installation? | 03:14 |
| clackamas | rentatosilva: this box I am on was originally 12. I upgraded to 14 and recently 16. | 03:14 |
| schnoodles | Hey everyone. I completely removed all versions of MySQL and MariaDB from my system. I then went to install mysql-server and I get https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/955e8d5ac636e6da9f2fa7e472681e3f | 03:14 |
| schnoodles | Supposedly it thinks that there is a mysql server running and fails but I have uninstalled mysql. | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | renatosilva: I don't know that for sure. Why do you want to know? | 03:15 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: because I have kernel 2.6 on ubuntu 16.04 which is bad, and if that comes from the vps image, this is really bad | 03:16 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: what is the output of uname -a | 03:16 |
| wastrel | it's probz a stale lockfile | 03:16 |
| wastrel | schnoodles: check in /var/run | 03:16 |
| clackamas | renatosilva: what is your concern/problem with upgrading? | 03:16 |
| Oderus | Linux AmigaBuntu 4.4.0-71-generic #92-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 24 12:59:01 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 03:18 |
| Oderus | mistake | 03:18 |
| schnoodles | wastrel: what am I exactly checking. There is no mysql folders in there. | 03:18 |
| schnoodles | I cant even do mysql from command line. | 03:18 |
| schnoodles | I cant even install mariadb over mysql because of the same bug. | 03:18 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: you are looking for files with a *.pid | 03:18 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: I guess I will need to try out the 16.04 image and see then, cause I don't really remember if I'm using that or if I've upgraded to that version | 03:18 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: what is the output of uname -a | 03:19 |
| Jordan_U | renatosilva: It probably is from your VPS. What is the output of "uname -r"? | 03:19 |
| schnoodles | There are quite a few .pid files just no mysql | 03:19 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: will be surprising if they use kernel 2.6 in their 16.04 image, since libc is now furious about it | 03:19 |
| wastrel | wait yakkety shouldn't you be asking in #ubuntu+1 ? | 03:20 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: what is the output of uname -a | 03:20 |
| Ben64 | wastrel: 16.10 is in the past | 03:20 |
| wastrel | that's yakkety? | 03:20 |
| Ben64 | yep | 03:20 |
| Jordan_U | renatosilva: Remember that if what you have is a container rather than a VM then you can't control what kernel is used, it's the kernle of the host. | 03:20 |
| wastrel | i'm 16.04 :( my sorry | 03:20 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: 'ps aux | grep -i mysql' | 03:21 |
| clackamas | And see if it is running. | 03:21 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: yes it's a vps so the whole question is what kernel their host is using, so I'm scared that's 2.6, I don't think so | 03:21 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: omg what is the output of uname -a | 03:22 |
| clackamas | 4.4.0-71.generic is the current one in 16.0.4.2 LTS | 03:23 |
| wastrel | schnoodles: so if you do service mysql stop what happens | 03:23 |
| renatosilva | Jordan_U: I think when I installed 16.04 it was closer to its release, so I don't think that would be enough time for the vps company to create the image and test it and release to the users (meaning yes my 16.04 originated from updates command) | 03:24 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: HEY | 03:24 |
| Ben64 | renatosilva: LISTEN! | 03:24 |
| schnoodles | clackamas: no It does not pick up any mysql. Now if I try and install mysql it says that its running during installation and fails. | 03:26 |
| schnoodles | I will try with mariadb-server and show you the output. | 03:26 |
| schnoodles | https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/bdbbea1bd7376b7c776bfe7299570f5a This will give you an idea of the error. It makes no sense :\ | 03:27 |
| renatosilva | well, thanks all anyway | 03:28 |
| wastrel | schnoodles: what does service mysql stop do | 03:29 |
| Ownz | it stops mysqld | 03:29 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: sudo apt list | grep -Pi '^mysql' | 03:29 |
| schnoodles | Failed to stop mysql.service: Unit mysql.service not loaded. | 03:29 |
| schnoodles | clackamas: https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/e3e659b3eefeb8f52624ec3f985e3b74 | 03:30 |
| schnoodles | Any other suggestions at all ? | 03:32 |
| killtheliterate | installed ubuntu with the other disks unplugged... hit another gnarly maybe bug, kinda like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1238194 | 03:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1238194 in initramfs-tools "keyboard doesn't work to enter password with encrypted partitions ubuntu 13.10 saucy" [Undecided,New] | 03:33 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: ah, you are on 16.10. | 03:34 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: I suspect you are hitting a bug in the package and doing a google/bing search would probably get you a work around faster. | 03:34 |
| snkcld | on the default ubuntu+btrfs install, why is the home directory a subvol outside the ubuntu subvol? why not just create the subvolume as a child subvolume? | 03:36 |
| schnoodles | clackamas: I have been googling for many an hour but to no prevail. Any idea on what I should be googling for exactly? | 03:37 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: try this: | 03:37 |
| clackamas | sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.6 (or whatever version it is). | 03:38 |
| clackamas | schnoobles: then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mysql-server-<targetversion> | 03:38 |
| schnoodles | Same problem. It fails because it tries to stop mysql but mysql is not actually installed so there is nothing to stop... | 03:44 |
| wastrel | maybe replace the mysql service script with something that always returns true | 03:45 |
| wastrel | temporarily | 03:45 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: yeah, that sounds like a bug in the 16.10 package that won't have a workaround until it is fixed. | 03:45 |
| schnoodles | I have had 16.10 installed for a while and this just appeared :S wastrel that could be a good approach if i knew how to do that :P | 03:47 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: can you re-post the url with package failure again? | 03:47 |
| schnoodles | Also why is there a /etc/init.d/mysql if mysql is uninstalled? | 03:48 |
| clackamas | it may have not gotten uninstall correctly. | 03:48 |
| clackamas | You could also try re-naming the file. | 03:48 |
| clackamas | (don't delete) | 03:49 |
| wastrel | that's a good idea to start | 03:49 |
| clackamas | if the package is testing for the existance of the file, it may not try to stop the service if it isn't there. | 03:49 |
| schnoodles | Ok that gave new errors -- https://gist.github.com/joshbenham/19cbea64d7874b29d3a5df51323c9900 | 03:50 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: progress maybe ;) Can you post the new errors? | 03:51 |
| schnoodles | Yep in the gist above. | 03:51 |
| schnoodles | Ok I got mariadb installed. Although looks like all my databases have been destroyed :o | 03:54 |
| clackamas | :( | 03:56 |
| schnoodles | Eh its not the worst thing. I was thinking I may have had to format my machine. No idea why MySQL is playing up though. Lets hope MariaDB will be a nice drop in replacement. | 03:57 |
| clackamas | schnoodles: I still file a bug. | 03:57 |
| TheNH813 | So, I can't can some software to install. How do I make scala execute a build.sbt file? | 04:04 |
| TheNH813 | All the instructions for Slide Pro said to do was build it scala for Ubuntu. | 04:06 |
| TheNH813 | Ah, I derped. I have to use IntelliJ. What a waste of disk space, install a 1GB IDE to run a 5MB application. | 04:08 |
| clackamas | I think just decided what laptop to get for Ubuntu: the Dell Precision 5520. Cannot beat the mil-spec raiting. | 04:10 |
| BlitzerHound | Hey y'all | 04:36 |
| zakiyfadhilmuhsi | hallo | 04:36 |
| BlitzerHound | Quick question, is there a good program for MUD games on ubuntu? All I could find was Mudlet, and it's not working. | 04:37 |
| clackamas | BlitzerHound: trying to run a server or a client? | 04:37 |
| BlitzerHound | Well, I'm just trying to play a game, so client? | 04:38 |
| BlitzerHound | I think | 04:38 |
| zakiyfadhilmuhsi | i running linux for study cyber | 04:38 |
| clackamas | blitzerhound: it is the orignal Mmorpg game. | 04:39 |
| clackamas | I haven't played in 20 years. | 04:39 |
| clackamas | But how is mudlet broken? | 04:39 |
| BlitzerHound | Well, when I try to connect to the server, it just says trying to connect but never does. I've tried going to other games, and that works just fine. | 04:39 |
| clackamas | That sounds like the server you are trying to se isn't available. | 04:40 |
| clackamas | do you have the servers IP? | 04:40 |
| BlitzerHound | I can connect using tintin++ and that works fine for connecting to it, so the server is fine | 04:40 |
| BlitzerHound | I don't know the actual IP, only the address | 04:40 |
| clackamas | I would check that mudlet is using the correct port too. | 04:41 |
| clackamas | BLitzerHound: what version of Ubuntu are you using and which profile are you selecting? | 04:43 |
| BlitzerHound | I'm using 16.10, and I don't know what you mean by which profile | 04:43 |
| clackamas | open up an xterm | 04:43 |
| clackamas | And type 'mudlet' | 04:43 |
| BlitzerHound | Is that different from the normal terminal? | 04:46 |
| clackamas | BliterzerHOund: same thing. | 04:46 |
| BlitzerHound | Alright, did that | 04:47 |
| clackamas | mudlet prints out info in the terminal that might help you. | 04:47 |
| BlitzerHound | So I should try and connect again? | 04:47 |
| clackamas | yeah. | 04:47 |
| BlitzerHound | Oh... it connected. Weird. | 04:47 |
| BlitzerHound | Maybe I just needed to open it in terminal? lol | 04:47 |
| clackamas | All thought I install mudlet on my machine and get a screen with servers to connect to. | 04:48 |
| clackamas | I am on 16.0.4.2 LTS thought. | 04:48 |
| clackamas | err though | 04:48 |
| BlitzerHound | Anyway, thanks. Working perfectly now. | 04:49 |
| clackamas | Ah, what is different? | 04:50 |
| BlitzerHound | Nothing. I just pushed connect and it connected. | 04:50 |
| BlitzerHound | Maybe the terminal helped somehow, but I didn't change anything. It's weird because I just tried it like 6 times. | 04:50 |
| clackamas | ah. | 04:51 |
| clackamas | so you are not getting a wrapper screen. | 04:51 |
| BlitzerHound | What do you mean? | 04:51 |
| damian666 | Anyone have a tutorial or any way of installing the latest flash player on ubuntu | 04:51 |
| clackamas | BLiterzerHound: nevermind. I was confused on the startup porcess. Glad it's working for you. | 04:53 |
| BlitzerHound | Well, thanks either way. Your magic instructions made it work. :D | 04:54 |
| clackamas | when you logout/log back in again, the command will probably work from Menu | 04:54 |
| BlitzerHound | Cool. I might just keep using terminal to open it if that's what's making it work. It's not difficult. | 04:56 |
| clackamas | yep | 04:57 |
| mikehl | a:1:{i:0;a:4:{s:13:"attachment_id";s:1:"0";s:4:"name";s:20:"after.zip";s:4:"file";s:49:"before/middle/after.zip";s:9:"condition";s:1:"0";}} <-- How could I grep or sed 'before/middle/after.zip' from this string? any ideas. | 04:58 |
| mikehl | I have a csv file with a load of these strings and I need to output them in a clean way | 04:58 |
| hhee | guys, which the best todo program? :) | 04:59 |
| clackamas | mikehl, I think that is a little beyond the help here. But I not clear on what you are asking? You want just the 'before/middle/after.zip' string? | 05:00 |
| mikehl | yes | 05:00 |
| clackamas | And it is just those words? | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | mikehl: you probably want #bash | 05:00 |
| mikehl | no they are all different | 05:00 |
| mikehl | on every line | 05:00 |
| clackamas | you could try this: | 05:01 |
| ivan | hhee: I use all of: a plaintext file, a column-per-day calendar in libreoffice calc, a gitlab running in a virtual machine | 05:02 |
| ivan | if you're OK with emacs, org-mode is another option | 05:02 |
| hhee | ivan, cool. what way do you organize your plain text file? | 05:02 |
| clackamas | cat <file> | sed -r 's/"([a-z]+)".*"([a-z]+)".*"([a-z]+)\.zip"/\1\/\2\/\3/' | 05:02 |
| Ben64 | clackamas: eww | 05:03 |
| hhee | ivan, i also need reminder for task. what's the question | 05:03 |
| clackamas | Ben64: come up with a cleaner regex | 05:03 |
| hhee | and sync between pc and laptop | 05:04 |
| ivan | hhee: I just write TODO or DONE or CANCELED before the things I need to do; I move lines around with alt-up/down in Sublime Text (default bindings are less pleasant) | 05:04 |
| ivan | hhee: hmm I would maybe use Google Calendar if I needed reminders? | 05:04 |
| hhee | ivan, got it, thx a lot | 05:04 |
| clackamas | mikehl: you will have to play with that regex. But basically the () capture and the \1\2\3 are replacements. | 05:05 |
| mikehl | clack ^^ doesnt work | 05:05 |
| mikehl | ok | 05:05 |
| Ben64 | | awk -F: '{print $18}' | sed s/..$// | 05:05 |
| Ben64 | there, better :D | 05:06 |
| clackamas | You can also do something like: 's#"attchement_id".*"@".*"([a-z]+)".*"([a-z]+)".*"([a-z]+)\.zip"#\1\2\3#' | 05:06 |
| ivan | mikehl: that looks like a file with length prefixes on strings so you can't just replace a string with one of a different length | 05:07 |
| clackamas | Ben64: it's not using : consistently. | 05:07 |
| mikehl | bens worked | 05:07 |
| Ben64 | of course bens worked :) | 05:07 |
| clackamas | cool. | 05:07 |
| ivan | mikehl: is it bencode? | 05:08 |
| mikehl | what will break this? | 05:08 |
| mikehl | spaces? special chars? | 05:08 |
| Ben64 | extra :'s, inconsistent ";s" at the end of the field you want | 05:09 |
| clackamas | Oh, I didn't see the path embedded. | 05:09 |
| clackamas | well, that means I am tired and time to go to bed. | 05:10 |
| clackamas | Night all. | 05:10 |
| ivan | next up: "why is the program not loading the modified file" | 05:10 |
| rosarp | Hi all, I am facing issue with Dell D3100 docking station with my benq G2222HDL monitor, using ubuntu. Is this channel right to ask for help? | 05:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | rosarp yes | 05:17 |

| rosarp | Thanks :) , basically my setup is, ubuntu 16.04, benq G2222HDL '22 inch monitor with DVI, Dell D3100 Docking station, connecting dock to monitor via DVI-HDMI convertor. But, when I connect docking station, mouse works, lan connection works, but monitor is blank. I have also installed suggested (online) displaylink-driver-1.3.52 driver. After this it shows the monitor in display settings, but still shows blank screen. Does anyone knows if this setup works? or | 05:22 |

| fyan-rava | how about undo it ? | 08:33 |

| fyan-rava | how to do ? | 08:35 |
| necrophcodr | I have ProFTPd running (as per our systems, this is required), but connections over FTPS are very slow. Any idea how to debug this? | 08:36 |

| necrophcodr | alkisg: yes | 08:38 |
| alkisg | necrophcodr: how much slower? give some numbers for ftp vs ftps | 08:38 |
| ducasse | fyan-rava: in short: immdeiately stop writing to the disk, and get ready for a lot of manual work | 08:38 |
| necrophcodr | alkisg: FTP connections take less than a second, and directory listings equally so. With FTPS, it takes more than 40 seconds. | 08:38 |
| alkisg | Ah, you mean that authentication part, not the download part? | 08:39 |
| necrophcodr | UseReverseDNS is off and so is IdentLookup | 08:39 |
| necrophcodr | alkisg: no, mostly directory listing | 08:39 |
| necrophcodr | Downloads may be slow as well, i'll check | 08:39 |
| alkisg | I don't think it would do dns/ident for each listing... | 08:40 |
| necrophcodr | yea me neither, but it's turned off anyway | 08:40 |
| EriC^^ | fyan-rava: if you have a backup that would be easier | 08:43 |
| ducasse | fyan-rava: ^ | 08:43 |
| necrophcodr | alkisg: uh.. i guess nevermind, because now the speeds have normalized. that's odd. what could cause this? | 08:44 |

| da7niel | I'm trying to execute a python script on startup from etc/rc.local but it isn't working because the script tries to perform actions which it does not have permission for... how do I fix? | 09:22 |
| da7niel | ie, how do i give a script root privilege | 09:22 |
| Ben64 | da7niel: what are you trying to have it do | 09:22 |
| action09 | thx too Ben64 | 09:23 |
| da7niel | it logs my active window every 10 seconds or so | 09:23 |
| ikevin | da7niel, use systemd and define the username you wan't | 09:23 |
| Ben64 | da7niel: rc.local is run by root, so there is another problem | 09:24 |
| da7niel | Ben64: i know this, which is what confuses me; the python program tries to call another script, logactivewindow.sh which is where I'm geting "permission denied", when i run sudo sh etc/rc.local | 09:25 |
| da7niel | ikevin: I'm new to linux, i wanted to run this code on startup and had read to chuck it in rc.local | 09:26 |
| Ben64 | da7niel: put what you actually want to run in rc.local | 09:26 |
| da7niel | Ben64: I did, and it isn't working | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | doesn't sound like you did | 09:27 |
| ikevin | da7niel, does it work when you manualy run your script? | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | instead of putting a python script that runs another script in a script called rc.local | 09:27 |
| Ben64 | put the actual things you want to do in rc.local | 09:27 |
| da7niel | ikevin: yes, when i run it with root privilege. when i call sudo sh /etc/rc.local i get "permission denied" when the script tries to call logactivewindow.sh | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | but if you're trying to do x every 10 minutes, seems like you want cron | 09:28 |
| da7niel | Ben64: the python script does a lot more than that | 09:28 |
| Ben64 | explain | 09:29 |
| ikevin | da7niel, does your script is executable (+x)? | 09:29 |
| da7niel | ikevin: what do you mean by that? | 09:29 |

| === highlander is now known as kwant | ||
| EriC^^ | PCatinean: it depends how you tar'd it | 10:57 |
| PCatinean | EriC^^, apparently with the entire folder | 10:57 |
| EriC^^ | you can use tar -t to see how it's saved inside, like something or the full path | 10:57 |

| EriC^^ | PCatinean: it should work with the entire folder i guess | 10:59 |
| EriC^^ | might need to use sudo | 10:59 |
| PCatinean | EriC^^, ahh ok I get some more insight now, -C to determine where it's extract | 10:59 |
| EriC^^ | PCatinean: yup | 10:59 |
| PCatinean | but if I tared /home/bla/bla/bla and I want to extract it somewhere else with C it will still save /home/bla/bla... | 10:59 |

| immu_ | BluesKaj, ducasse: there you go my issue | 11:42 |
| ducasse | immu_: then you really just need to wait for someone to improve the driver. have you tried newer kernels? | 11:43 |
| immu_ | ducasse: yup 4.10 from the mainline kernel | 11:45 |
| ducasse | immu_: no improvement? | 11:45 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, have you checked alsamixer vol ctl settings etc , automute disabled there etc? Then there's pulseaudio as well, check your audio out settings there troo | 11:46 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, and make sure your snd-hda-intel driver loaded properly , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel | 11:48 |
| immu_ | ducasse, BluesKaj: once i toggle the unconnected pin and set it, sound does improve, i can work but need clear instructions as what do to do and what data to collect to ge the job done | 11:48 |
| immu_ | also by acl3661 chipset is identified as some other name c8 series audiochipset | 11:49 |
| immu_ | for which i have filed a other bug | 11:49 |

| vertz | scottjl: i have asked, several times | 11:56 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, yes reading about the bug now | 11:56 |
| akik | immu_: you can run commands when sound modules are loaded. would that help? | 11:57 |
| vertz | scottjl: its only in unity | 11:57 |
| scottjl | ugh unity | 11:57 |
| vertz | ya fuck itr | 11:57 |
| vertz | switching to something else | 11:57 |
| Mobius164 | firefox vs chrome. what do you guys think? | 11:57 |
| scottjl | i3 for life! | 11:57 |
| scottjl | or until something better comes around | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, what does your alsmixer show , screenshot please | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | alsamixer , immu_ | 11:58 |
| dbsou | Ben64, This is worked! Thank you! | 11:58 |
| scottjl | dbsou: just note that pattern is going to match a lot of other things | 11:58 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, we have to start at the beginning | 11:59 |
| Ben64 | will match swordmaker | 11:59 |
| scottjl | swordswallower | 12:00 |
| scottjl | seer | 12:00 |
| Ben64 | spectrofluorimeter | 12:00 |
| scottjl | specialhobknobber | 12:01 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: i have the screenshots where should i put them up | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | imgur.com immu_ | 12:02 |
| scottjl | never underestimate the power of a badly written regexp | 12:02 |
| immu_ | see, i get soundoutput, and its better than before as i watch most videos on youtube, its a lot better BluesKaj | 12:02 |
| dbsou | how can I install regexr to via terminal? | 12:03 |
| dbsou | will sudo apt regexr work? | 12:04 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: no | 12:04 |
| immu_ | http://imgur.com/a/2FoEt BluesKaj | 12:04 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: no idea what regexr is | 12:04 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, well if we check out your settings and correct any problems the sound will be the best we can do | 12:04 |
| k1l | dbsou: is that a windows program? | 12:04 |
| immu_ | http://imgur.com/a/1d33x BluesKaj | 12:05 |
| ducasse | dbsou: 'regexxer' | 12:05 |
| dbsou | Ben64, What do you mean. You just gave me the word worked for Regexr | 12:05 |
| dbsou | http://www.regexr.com/ | 12:05 |
| scottjl | dbsou: apt install regexxer | 12:05 |
| immu_ | those two images are of alsamixer of before and after images, upon toggling the pin in hdajackrestask | 12:05 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: | 12:05 |
| dbsou | is regexxer and regexr same thing? | 12:06 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: that's a website | 12:06 |
| Ben64 | you can't apt-get a website | 12:06 |
| immu_ | similar issue is also present in Alienware 18 laptop | 12:06 |
| dbsou | Ben64, They have a desktop version but page opens empty. | 12:06 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, how does it sound with automute disabled in alsamixer? | 12:06 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: you should explain what you actually want to accomplish | 12:06 |
| dbsou | I thought you are using the program as you knew the way to searc in it. | 12:07 |
| scottjl | +1 ben64 | 12:07 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: never tried it | 12:07 |
| dbsou | Ben64, Sure. | 12:07 |
| ducasse | dbsou: regular expressions work across a wide range of tools and libraries, not just that website | 12:07 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, use the down arrow key to disable automute | 12:07 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: its already disabled | 12:08 |
| dbsou | Ben64, I have gedit and vim installed on my ubuntu... I have a text file with so many words in it. I want to find words E.g: "supper" search by "s*er" | 12:08 |
| dbsou | How do I do that in gedit? | 12:08 |
| scottjl | dbsou: sed will do that from the command line if you're just looking for matches | 12:08 |
| k1l | dbsou: use grep | 12:08 |
| Ben64 | yeah i don't think gedit does regex | 12:09 |
| Southern_Gentlem | dbsou, in gedit check you menu (or check the icons on the top right there is a find) | 12:09 |
| immu_ | http://imgur.com/a/RjvED BluesKaj | 12:09 |
| immu_ | check this one | 12:09 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, ok what about pulseaudio, what settings do you have there? | 12:10 |
| immu_ | normal, same as whats reflecting here | 12:11 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, I don't muck about with jack , that's mainly for mixing input sources etc for recording | 12:11 |
| dbsou | Ben64, Does ubuntu has anything installed on default that can do the same search? | 12:12 |
| dbsou | I am now confused. EVeryone said one alternative tool.. | 12:12 |
| k1l | dbsou: yes, "grep" on cli | 12:12 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: many things, k1l said grep | 12:12 |
| immu_ | yup, did you check the bug report i had also filed | 12:12 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, there' nothing "normal " about pulseaudio, we need to know what it's settings are | 12:13 |
| immu_ | you want screenshots of the PA mixer | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, do you have pavucontrol installed? | 12:14 |
| immu_ | yup i do BluesKaj | 12:15 |
| immu_ | wait i will give you the screenshots | 12:16 |
| BluesKaj | check PA pavucontrol audio out settings, immu_ , there should be multichannel options there | 12:16 |
| dbsou | for a txt file at desktop the syntax is grep z[a-z]*ir words (words is the name of the txt) | 12:16 |
| scottjl | dbsou: this is unix, there are a dozen ways to do the same task. | 12:16 |
| dbsou | can you just teach me one of them please.. All I want to do is searching this z[a-z]*ir in a text file | 12:17 |
| k1l | dbsou: then use grep for it. did it work? | 12:17 |
| ducasse | dbsou: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/grep | 12:18 |
| dbsou | k1l, I don't know how to use grep. I will read the link ducasse just gave. | 12:19 |
| immu_ | http://imgur.com/a/En7cd BluesKaj : check and tell | 12:19 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: "man grep" and look at the top few lines, it tells you how to use it | 12:19 |
| k1l | dbsou: "grep searchword /path/to/file" add regexp or parameters as wanted | 12:19 |
| dbsou | was pretty simple actually expect of the path | 12:21 |
| dbsou | my words.txt at desktop | 12:21 |
| dbsou | how do I navigate desktop | 12:21 |
| k1l | "cd" like on dos | 12:21 |
| scottjl | ~/Desktop/file.txt. | 12:21 |
| dbsou | grap z[a-z]*ir words didn't work | 12:21 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: its more of driver support issue then something else, with software support | 12:22 |
| Ben64 | it isn't grap, and if the file isn't called "words" in your current directory it won't work | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, in pavucontrl drop down built in audio, choose "analog surround 4.0" output for your laptop speakers, your subwoofer should work with that setting | 12:22 |
| dbsou | db@dbpc:~$ grep z[a-z]*ir ~/Desktop/file.txt | 12:23 |
| dbsou | grep: /home/db/Desktop/file.txt: No such file or directory | 12:23 |
| scottjl | ok. where is your file? | 12:23 |
| dbsou | at desktop | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: is it called "file.txt" | 12:24 |
| k1l | dbsou: details matter a lot here. if you have no clue where the file is, then dont expect the program to find the file when you give the wrong place or name | 12:24 |
| dbsou | jesus dump me! | 12:24 |
| dbsou | so sorry | 12:24 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: its 4.0 profile not a 4.1, and what i am looing is at 2.1 profile | 12:24 |
| immu_ | *looking | 12:25 |
| dbsou | now it works.. with correct name and without ".txt" | 12:25 |
| k1l | dbsou: you can use "tab completion" to let the shell complete the path and name of files. | 12:25 |
| dbsou | k1l, you mean a whole folder with multiple .txt files? | 12:26 |
| ducasse | !tab | dbsou | 12:28 |
| ubottu | dbsou: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 12:28 |
| k1l | dbsou: no, write "cd D" in a new terminal, then press the tab key two times. | 12:28 |
| dbsou | What should search line look like if I am looking for a word that uses a m s r d result: amsterdam | 12:29 |
| k1l | !regexp | 12:29 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, ok, then pulse audio doesn't see your actual hardware. What other choices does the "Built in audio Digital Surround" drop down give you? | 12:29 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: HDMI output | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, that's all? | 12:30 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: use the same method i showed you earlier | 12:31 |
| ducasse | dbsou: 'man 7 regex' | 12:31 |
| dbsou | Ben64, I am just confused with the order before or after [] | 12:32 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: what do you mean | 12:33 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: http://imgur.com/a/En7cd check the latest pic below | 12:33 |
| dbsou | Ben64, I mean z[a-z]*ir z is before [] and ir is after... What if I want to search characters with no word... like rsmtr gives result amsterdam | 12:33 |
| immu_ | i am booting into a new kernel ok 4.10.8 will see what it throws up yeah BluesKaj | 12:34 |
| immu_ | brb | 12:34 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: but amsterdam doesn't contain rsmtr | 12:34 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, I think pulseaudio/pavucontrol is blocking your options. Personally I don't use pulseaudio with my intel audio equipped machines. That's a decision you have to make on your own. | 12:35 |
| dbsou | it does a "m" "s" "t" e "r" dam | 12:35 |
| dbsou | with different order | 12:35 |
| Ben64 | completely different from what you asked earlier | 12:35 |
| SCHAAP137 | i'm in Amsterdam | 12:35 |
| dbsou | Ben64, Right... | 12:36 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: so u must be using ALSA? | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 12:36 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: pipe together a bunch of greps | 12:36 |
| dbsou | I was just trying to understand.. I guess this is next step. | 12:36 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: | 12:36 |
| dbsou | Ben64, do you mind to give an example | 12:36 |
| immu_ | why so? any particular reason BluesKaj | 12:36 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: grep pattern file | grep pattern | grep pattern | grep pattern | 12:37 |
| dbsou | Ben64, With no order? | 12:37 |
| ducasse | dbsou: you really should be reading some documentation on regular expressions, try http://www.regular-expressions.info/ | 12:37 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: going for a reboot brb | 12:38 |
| dbsou | like grep s words | grep r words | grep m words | grep d words | | 12:38 |
| Ben64 | dbsou: nope read what i said | 12:38 |
| dbsou | thats what I got from piping together a bunch of greps.. | 12:40 |
| PCatinean | Hey guys, how do I make a proper backup with just a ftp server? | 12:41 |
| PCatinean | And also do backup rotation and such? | 12:41 |
| dbsou | Ben64, I will read that... thanks for link. Ubuntu had so limited at their page. | 12:41 |
| Ben64 | PCatinean: can't do a proper anything with ftp | 12:41 |
| CrazySane | Good morning. On Friday I rebooted my primary VM Host (Ubuntu 16.04) and the console filled with this: https://imgur.com/a/dcA0t | 12:41 |
| CrazySane | This morning, checking dmesg I'm filled with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24306391/ | 12:42 |

| PCatinean | damn... | 12:44 |
| sharko | hello | 12:45 |
| sharko | can someone kindly explain this | 12:46 |
| sharko | what is the echo '/' | 12:46 |
| dbsou | this is more than I can figure out | 12:46 |
| sharko | the backslash | 12:46 |
| Ben64 | sharko: that's a forward slash | 12:46 |
| sharko | and what is the > that shows up when i enter the above command | 12:46 |
| sharko | \* | 12:46 |
| Ben64 | it's an escape character | 12:46 |
| sharko | what does it do | 12:47 |
| Ben64 | escapes things | 12:47 |
| anonym | hi all | 12:47 |
| Ben64 | like if you have a file called *, it'd be hard to ls properly | 12:47 |
| Ben64 | so you could do ls \* | 12:47 |
| sharko | aha | 12:48 |
| sharko | so in echo case | 12:49 |
| sharko | what does it escape exactly | 12:49 |
| sharko | that the command is not complete ? | 12:49 |
| ducasse | sharko: if you don't want the shell to expand a * you put \ in front of it. | 12:49 |
| Ben64 | give an example | 12:49 |
| CrazySane | yea. ls \* is a good example | 12:51 |
| ducasse | sharko: so 'echo \*' will simply print a '*' | 12:51 |
| helloUb16InVB | I'm running ubuntu 16.10 inside virtualbox on win10. When I click the password promp on the login screen the login screen disapears for a little while before I appear logged into to a temporary guest session. Can't login to normal user. | 12:51 |
| CrazySane | but ls * (without the slash) will print the content of the working directory | 12:51 |
| alexis | Hi, I'm having some trouble making my scanner driver work properly, I'm running 16.10 and the scanner is a brother DCP 7055W. I've installed the drivers successfully *but* it actually refuses to scan: when I use simplescan and try, it tells me that it got "troubles contacting the scanner". | 12:52 |
| sharko | ls example is a good one | 12:52 |
| sharko | but i can't relate it to the echo | 12:52 |
| alexis | Anyone have an idea about what I can do to solve this? Thanks! | 12:52 |
| sharko | damn | 12:52 |
| sharko | thanks anyhow | 12:52 |
| ducasse | sharko: try 'echo *' and then 'echo \*' | 12:52 |
| CrazySane | sharko: Anywhere in BASH that you put a star will expand into the wildcard. Preceeding it with a \ negates that expansion. | 12:53 |
| dbsou | Ben64, I guess found it ! grep z ~/Desktop/words | grep ü | grep f | grep | 12:53 |
| dbsou | that worked.. thanks for the page | 12:53 |
| CrazySane | lol @ Ben64's "can't do a proper anything with FTA" | 12:54 |
| CrazySane | FTP* | 12:54 |
| Ben64 | it's true | 12:54 |
| CrazySane | so true | 12:54 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: back | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, I use the digital spdif, hdmi and analog audio outs from my soundcard to a 5.1 audio receiver, which I then use for switching audio inputs depending on the audio content/audio codecs. | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, The analog output is basic converted pcm to analog audio, whereas the spdif provides Dolby Digital or DTS digital signals converted in the audio DAC on the receiver. | 12:56 |
| CrazySane | It's off the page on my screen, so I'm going to ask again. Good morning. On Friday I rebooted my primary VM Host (Ubuntu 16.04) and the console filled with this: https://imgur.com/a/dcA0t This morning, checking dmesg I'm filled with this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24306391/ log is flooded with journald messages. | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | all without pulseaudio, immu_ | 12:56 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: ok is their any audio speaker system which accepts HDMI as the output port/jack | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | not that i know of, immu_ | 12:58 |
| ducasse | CrazySane: i think there is a systemd channel here on freenode, try there. | 13:00 |
| CrazySane | ducasse: thanks | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, you could try alsa without pulseaudio and if alsa direct doesn't work for you then you can just reinstall pulse | 13:00 |
| immu_ | so how do i remove pulseaudio without breaking my system i want to try that option | 13:04 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, sudo apt purge pulseaudio pulseaudio-utils , then reboot | 13:05 |
| dbsou | Why did not included words ending with "mi" > grep z[a-z]*mi ~/Desktop/words | grep ü | grep f | grep | 13:05 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: anything else? | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, nope, when reboot we'll setup alsamixer | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | rebooted | 13:06 |
| CrazySane | immu_: See you soon! | 13:07 |
| CrazySane | !cookie | BluesKaj | 13:07 |
| ubottu | BluesKaj: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 13:07 |

| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| donofrio | cause 16.10 powerpc is working great, thank you folks for all you do (don't remove repo's for powerpc for years please...) | 13:11 |

| immu_ | BluesKaj: ok noted aborting wont shag my system | 13:12 |
| ikonia | donofrio: thats really nice to hear, some of the older current PPC builds have not been well maintained, so it's great to hear 16.10 is on track | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, guess yoy're stuck with pulseaudio if you run unity | 13:12 |

| CrazySane | A few vague "is that a debug" etc. But no comments as to where it comes from or how to hunt it down. | 13:19 |
| CrazySane | Perhaps the folks that can help are still afk this morning. | 13:19 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: what do you mean "clean your logs of journald messages"? | 13:21 |
| CrazySane | Perhaps I have something turned on for a remote logger and have forgotten? I'll do some more Googling. | 13:21 |

| CrazySane | ugh | 13:24 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: oh so you mean you want to stop those being logged? I thought you meant clean up previous (which I'm not sure can be done). | 13:24 |
| CrazySane | blackflow: correct. | 13:24 |
| CrazySane | ducasse: failed to forward.. | 13:26 |
| CrazySane | ducasse: in hindsight, I should have taken a better picture, but it was late in my day Friday. XD | 13:26 |

| gh0st | I have some power.mngmt problems so the screen goes off but pc keeps on, i shut it down with power botton and after restart i lost some of my most important datas, all of them where previously saved on my hdd and not in execution | 13:32 |
| CrazySane | blackflow: no. http://paste.ubuntu.com/24306661/ | 13:32 |
| ducasse | CrazySane: you're getting these messages in dmesg? try setting MaxLevelKMsg to 'info' or 'notice' | 13:33 |
| CrazySane | ducasse: The picture is of the console during reboot. The first pastebin is from dmesg. I'm sorry, where do I set this? | 13:34 |
| ducasse | CrazySane: journald.conf, but you should probably track down why these debug messages are being sent in the first place | 13:35 |
| CrazySane | ducasse: that would be wonderful. XD | 13:35 |
| paracusia | hello penguin friends, I tried to backup my data with an rsync incremental script via NFS - now im getting alot of "Invalid cross-device link (18)" messages - but the device is still the same - any ideas? no_root_squash is set on the nfs-server | 13:36 |
| CrazySane | It's my primary VM host, so unfortunately, I can't just shut it down to see the journald messages fly by agai. | 13:36 |
| ducasse | CrazySane: i'm talking about the watchdog spam | 13:36 |
| CrazySane | thats in dmesg | 13:37 |
| ducasse | CrazySane: if you change that setting and reload journald's config, it should no longer send them so you see them in dmesg. | 13:38 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: well, you can try adding the LogLevel=warn under a new section "[Manager]" in /lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service, run systemctl daemon-reload. If that fixes your issue, you can copy the unit file under /etc/systemd/system as the one under /lib will be overrwritten on next update to the package | 13:38 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: or perhaps raise the overall default LogLevel to warn, as it's currently info. Not sure if that's what you want. | 13:40 |
| CrazySane | blackflow: where do you see that Loglevel? | 13:41 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: the default i in /etc/systemd/system.conf | 13:41 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: *is | 13:41 |
| CrazySane | That still doesn't solve the underlying problem tho? The cause of the messages? it's not hurting anything, so I think I'll wait to change anything until I come to my next reboot window and capture more data and bring it here. | 13:43 |
| CrazySane | Thanks for the help tho. | 13:43 |
| blackflow | CrazySane: I don't think the cause is an error, I think those are debug/informational messages | 13:43 |
| ducasse | me too. | 13:43 |
| mikecmpbll | does anyone have experience working with upstart jobs that can be controlled by a non-sudo user? | 13:48 |
| mikecmpbll | i'm struggling with it. i'm trying to set up 'session jobs'. i've put the conf files at ~/.config/upstart/* | 13:49 |
| mikecmpbll | but service commands don't find the job | 13:49 |
| ducasse | mikecmpbll: try 'initctl --user ...' | 13:51 |
| CrazySane | blackflow: thanks. Just not useful to fill my dmesg with the same thing over and over again. | 13:51 |
| * CrazySane is afk | 13:51 | |
| mikecmpbll | ducasse : ah okay, i'll look in to this error "initctl: UPSTART_SESSION isn't set in the environment. Unable to locate the Upstart instance." | 13:53 |
| ashley_ | hey.... so.... I am being really dumb here. How do I turn off the oxygen audio thing and get Alsa to work? | 13:53 |
| ducasse | mikecmpbll: is this 14.04? | 13:54 |
| mikecmpbll | ducasse : yes | 13:54 |
| mikecmpbll | i should prolly just upgrade and use systemd | 13:54 |
| ducasse | mikecmpbll: i have user services running under systemd, works like a charm. there are a few things to be aware of, though, but they're documented. | 13:56 |
| mikecmpbll | ducasse : thanks! i'll do that :) | 13:56 |
| ducasse | mikecmpbll: fyi - the arch wiki has a separate page on systemd user services, excellent reading. | 13:57 |
| mikecmpbll | ducasse: 👍🏼 | 13:57 |

| Jakethepython | Hello Room I am having trouble setting up an Exchange Email in Evolution | 14:00 |
| compdoc | Jakethepython, I use thunderbird, but maybe its not too different. You using pop3 or imap? | 14:01 |
| saymoo | Exchange uses the exchange protocol afaik.. | 14:02 |
| compdoc | it uses many protocols | 14:02 |
| gh0st | I have some power.mngmt problems so the screen goes off but pc keeps on, i shut it down with power botton and after restart i lost some of my most important datas, all of them where previously saved on my hdd and not in execution | 14:03 |
| saymoo | compdoc, well.. you need an exchange plugin | 14:04 |
| OerHeks | for exchange. evolution-mapi is depreciated, evolution-ews is current the plugin for evolution AFAIK | 14:04 |
| saymoo | hence why.. because it uses it own protocol | 14:04 |
| compdoc | I dont use exchange pulgins | 14:04 |
| saymoo | then you don't use exchange as it should be used | 14:04 |
| saymoo | :P | 14:04 |
| OerHeks | install evolution-ews, after that you can select new, Exchange Web Services server type in new account dialog. | 14:05 |
| compdoc | thats nonsense. imap is fine. pop3 is fine. you dont have to use it in any particular way | 14:05 |
| DArqueBishop | compdoc: you're assuming the Exchange admin would enable IMAP or POP3. | 14:05 |
| saymoo | compdoc.. sorry but that is not what exchange is about... mostly | 14:05 |
| compdoc | but if you want to use it like outlook, then thats fine too | 14:05 |
| compdoc | lol. exchange uses industry standard clients and protocols. | 14:06 |
| saymoo | omg | 14:06 |
| saymoo | yes it can do that do... that beyond the point.. | 14:06 |
| andreandy | I have a situation I'd appreciate any input in: | 14:08 |
| saymoo | if someone askes to connect to an exchange server.. they 99percent of the case, mean: using the exchange protocol, not plain old imap/pop3... | 14:08 |
| andreandy | A friend installed Midori on her recently installed Xubuntu system. The default browser was too slow for her pc. Once installed, she clikced the Midori icon to run the program, and before she had opportunity to type any website or anything, the browser loaded a scammaer script. | 14:08 |
| saymoo | asks& | 14:08 |
| andreandy | here are the photos of here screen: | 14:08 |
| andreandy | http://imgur.com/1tDWo7N | 14:08 |
| andreandy | http://imgur.com/RX5YBY4 | 14:08 |
| compdoc | saymoo, you shouldnt make assumptions about how any person uses a product, or even how its 'supposed' to be used | 14:08 |
| andreandy | She clicked "cancel", closed Midori and then launched again. It opened as i expect it should have the first time: | 14:08 |
| andreandy | http://imgur.com/bH1Bwsz | 14:09 |
| andreandy | I just want to understand how this could happen... no previos Midori hisotry... so maybe Midori exproted history from the other browser? Or maybe we should be concerned that my firends computer or the Midori package has some sort of virus? | 14:09 |
| andreandy | BTW, I posted this on the Ubuntu forums and it got jailed.. they thougn I was doing an aprils fool jike i think | 14:09 |
| saymoo | compdoc, ok.. let's agree to disagree on the assumption part for exchange..... *shakes hand* | 14:10 |
| saymoo | :) | 14:10 |
| akik | it's better to concentrate on facts rather than opinions | 14:10 |
| OerHeks | andreandy, odd, remove ~/.config/midori and start the browser again. | 14:12 |
| Jakethepython | basically our company is trying to change over to Linux based everything from Microsoft based. So i am trying to make it as "seemless" as possible for people | 14:12 |
| saymoo | everything.. including swapping exchange eventually? | 14:13 |
| === ludocode_ is now known as ludocode | ||
| saymoo | or only clients | 14:13 |
| andreandy | OerHerks will do | 14:13 |
| DArqueBishop | compdoc: again, the assumption you're making is that IMAP or POP3 is enabled on the Exchange server Jakethepython is using. There's a better than even chance that it is not. It's better that he uses the actual Evolution-ews plugin, because at least there's a much better chance that it will work. | 14:13 |

| mamed | hi guys. i have a question. i want to make partition of my whole disk and i want to install ubuntu to only first 20 gb(for example). how can i do that? | 14:27 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: choose in the installer "Something else" and partition it as you want | 14:27 |
| hron84 | Hi! I'm using Ubuntu Xenial (16.04.2) with MATE desktop. I'm installed Bluetooth-related packages, and BT is working properly with the other parts of the desktop but neither Caja nor Nautilus have a menu for sending files/pictures via BT. I already paired my phone with the laptop, so it shouldn't be the issue, the phone says BT connection is OK. | 14:27 |
| mamed | thanks EriC^^ i tried that but grub could not be installed ( | 14:27 |
| ikonia | mamed: thats not really going to work | 14:28 |
| mamed | must i create boot and swap partitions by hand | 14:28 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: are you in the live usb right now? | 14:28 |
| mamed | not in live usb but dvd | 14:28 |
| ikonia | named you need to make the partition fit the sizes you want | 14:28 |
| ikonia | unless I've not understood what you're asking | 14:28 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: no, no need for swap if you dont want hibernation, and boot isn't required either | 14:28 |
| hron84 | Nautilis misses the "Send to..." menu completely even if nautilus-sendto is installed. Caja has a "Send to..." menu but no Bluetooth option is available. | 14:28 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: open a terminal and type "ls /sys/firmware/efi" and see what it says | 14:28 |
| mamed | iknoa. my disk is 500 gb. i created two partitions one is 20 gb and rest of it is the other part. i want to install ubuntu to this 20 gb partition | 14:29 |
| ikonia | mamed: then I did miss-understand | 14:29 |
| mamed | EriC^^: i dont have efi bios | 14:29 |
| mamed | no problem ikonia | 14:30 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: ok, type "sudo parted -l" and see what it says next to partition table type | 14:30 |
| mamed | EriC^^: btw the method i follow works in arch linux | 14:30 |
| mcphail | mamed: how did you create the partitions? | 14:30 |
| mamed | mcphail: from redo disk cloner | 14:31 |
| mamed | my aim is to create a standard disk image for same qualified machines | 14:31 |
| EriC^^ | mamed: ok, type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link it gives you here | 14:31 |
| Jakethepython | Evolution doesn't seem to save my account in accounts | 14:31 |
| mamed | so that i will only copy image | 14:31 |
| mamed | EriC^^: i am not in front of the machine. just came here to get some advice | 14:32 |
| mamed | what else you can advice me | 14:32 |
| mcphail | mamed: I suspect that'll be your problem. There needs to be an adequate gap before your first partition (can't remember how much) these days or grub will fail to install. If you partition using a modern version of gparted or the Ubuntu installer, it will do this automatically. If you have partitioned with an older tool you need to do it manually | 14:32 |
| mcphail | mamed: I've hit this snag with disks partitioned from an old version of Ubuntu | 14:33 |
| Dreaman` | k1l you ar lame ot madnes lame | 14:33 |
| ikonia | Dreaman`: stop | 14:33 |
| mamed | i see mcphail . so i will use ubuntu 16.xx and use something else and the partition it to required size then install to that partition | 14:33 |
| mamed | i will try and inform you guys. maybe not today but soon. thank you so much. | 14:34 |
| mcphail | mamed: if you use the partitioning tool on your ubuntu 16.xx iso it will do the right thing by default, yes. Good luck! | 14:34 |
| mamed | thank you so much mcphail . thank you so much for the hints guys | 14:34 |

| sud0 | is there a proper gdrive implementation for Ubuntu? (or any gnu-linux distro) | 14:54 |
| aotaointbin | oh, yea, sonat12akma, you need to allocate a buffer. | 14:54 |
| sud0 | to be honest gnome's approach sucks. | 14:54 |
| sud0 | and we're waiting more than 5 years for google's implementation | 14:54 |
| aotaointbin | char *buf is a pointer to a buffer, but you never allocate the buffer to begin with. | 14:54 |
| mazhar | hello there :)) | 14:54 |
| aotaointbin | either char buf[40] or char *buf = (char *) malloc(40); free(buf); | 14:55 |
| sonat12akma | thanks everyone, char buf[40] worked :) | 14:56 |
| aotaointbin | that's the static allocation way. malloc/free is the dynamic allocation way. | 14:56 |

| CrazySane | texla: can you pastebinit the entire error? | 15:35 |
| Skyrider | O_o | 15:35 |
| CrazySane | texla: sudo apt-get update | pastebinit | 15:35 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: whats up | 15:36 |
| texla | CrazySane, That is the exact error message | 15:36 |
| Guest32060 | Pici: tahnks | 15:36 |
| nacc | texla: apt-get doesn't print such messages and has no 'window' -- so use the command and paste it via the above suggestion from CrazySane | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, wondering what you intend to do :-) | 15:38 |
| immu_ | installed kernel 4.10.8 and coasting on it BluesKaj | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, did it help? | 15:39 |
| texla | CrazySane, https://pastebin.com/KwEfqkjU | 15:39 |
| CrazySane | texla: Opensuse packages? | 15:40 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: nope still the same so i applied set the pin in hdajackretask and its ok | 15:40 |
| CrazySane | texla: You have a bunch of unofficial repos in your list file? Did you intend to have them there? | 15:40 |
| nacc | texla: it would also appear you are using pacakges intended for wily and vivid on xeniaal, which is not recommended | 15:41 |
| CrazySane | texla: could you do this next, so we can see the repo list: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, well that helps then | 15:41 |
| immu_ | BluesKaj: yeah for now | 15:43 |
| texla | CrazySane, https://pastebin.com/qdQBi42A | 15:44 |
| OerHeks | texla, you better check ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ for those ppa's, vivid getdeb amd colomboem? remove those entries | 15:44 |

| CrazySane | regedit: tap your Super key, type disks | 15:49 |
| wastrel | which is the super key | 15:50 |
| CrazySane | texla: follow OerHeks's directions. The first paste you sent describes the repos that are failing. One is failing because you didn't import the ppa key. Another just isn't available. | 15:50 |
| CrazySane | wastrel: The "windows key" on most keyboards. | 15:51 |
| morningbird | Is there any way to use ppa targeting older ubuntu version like 16.04 and install packages from it on 16.10? | 15:51 |
| regedit | OerHeks / CrazySane anything noteworthy about those bad sectors? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/dpJia5tt/Screenshot%20from%202017-04-03%2011-49-57.png | 15:51 |
| morningbird | I know the deb files if downloaded work, but I would like to fool apt so it will pull updates from it. | 15:51 |
| CrazySane | morningbird: you target old package versions. | 15:52 |
| CrazySane | morningbird: so like, apt-get install <package>=<version> | 15:52 |
| nacc | morningbird: also, that may or may not work | 15:52 |
| nacc | morningbird: as there are dependencies that may have shifted | 15:53 |

| OerHeks | texla, remove it with ppa-purge, or maybe manually as it never installed a package | 15:57 |

| PCatinean | CrazySane, it has a Samba/CIFS share | 16:03 |
| PCatinean | not sure if it has SFTP CrazySane | 16:03 |
| PCatinean | i would hope so? | 16:04 |
| ducasse | PCatinean: then just use it as any other cifs share and backup to that | 16:04 |
| PCatinean | ahhhhh I just read: You can access your backup space by means of FTP, FTPS, SFTP and SCP. Please use the host names assigned to you (<username>.your-backup.de) as well as your username and password. | 16:04 |
| ducasse | !samba | PCatinean | 16:04 |

| morningbird | nacc, OerHeks it doesn't really matter what PPA is for, question is about #ubuntu system and custom ppa | 16:07 |
| nacc | morningbird: i don't think we're going to give advice in the official support channel on using a PPA for not its intended use | 16:07 |
| morningbird | nacc, OerHeks they build only for LTS releases, and thanks to your help (sort of) I got it working | 16:07 |
| nacc | morningbird: you can run your own ppa via copy packages, i think | 16:07 |
| jnagro | stuck here with no keyboard https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/GNjqyL52/irccloudcapture460402250.jpg | 16:08 |
| nacc | morningbird: then if you depend on that software, you should also use LTS only | 16:08 |
| morningbird | nacc, OerHeks trick was to go to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list and eddit version from yakkety to xenial. | 16:08 |
| morningbird | Then do apt-get install -f package | 16:08 |

| ilyanok | hi, I have troubles linking against dynamic libraries on Ubuntu 16.10. Here is one trivial example: https://gist.github.com/yanok/7ffb30e333a84434fcda55b7cd0d76f8 | 16:08 |
| PCatinean | ducasse, i don't know what hat is | 16:08 |
| nacc | morningbird: that is a bad choice and i won't support it :) | 16:08 |
| PCatinean | All I want is to copy some directories to the backup server and do some backup log rotation so it doesn't get full | 16:09 |
| nacc | ilyanok: that's a c file without any output for linking | 16:09 |
| PCatinean | That's all, and I have those options | 16:09 |
| nacc | ilyanok: also, you might want a programming channel | 16:09 |
| morningbird | nacc: why is that a bad choice?\ | 16:09 |
| ducasse | PCatinean: check out 'fusedav' | 16:09 |
| ilyanok | If I try to compile it with gcc -lm -o test test.c I get the error that lgammaf is not found | 16:09 |
| nacc | ilyanok: read `man gcc` -- where you place -l options matters | 16:09 |
| nacc | ilyanok: put them at the end of the compilation | 16:09 |
| PCatinean | ducasse, isn't that dangerous? in case something happens to my main host it might delete stuff on the backup server? | 16:09 |
| nacc | morningbird: because releases exist for a reason. You are using an unsupported thing (PPA) in an unsupported way (mixing releases). Not a support topic | 16:09 |
| morningbird | nacc: #YOLO ? | 16:10 |
| faerel_ | hi | 16:10 |

| morningbird | can ppa-purge that at any given time | 16:10 |
| nacc | morningbird: doesn't make it supported or a good idea | 16:10 |
| hh2010_ | (posted in #AWS as well) | 16:10 |
| ilyanok | nacc: thanks. I really didn't use gcc for a while... | 16:10 |
| ducasse | PCatinean: you mount the share, run your backup scripts, then unmount it. | 16:10 |
| nacc | ilyanok: np | 16:10 |
| PCatinean | hmm, that's a fair point, unless an attack happens in the exact time it's mounted lol :)) | 16:11 |
| PCatinean | or it's unmounted by mistake and I remove everything | 16:11 |

| EriC^ | regedit: run a smart test from a live usb | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | regedit, next test: boot live iso and do a memtest86 run | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | maybe it is a mem error, not hdd.. | 16:15 |
| BluesKaj | immu_, so what do you think ? | 16:15 |
| regedit | Southern_Gentlem: tried that too, things keep f-ing up failing to successfully boot | 16:15 |
| regedit | OerHeks: is there anything i can test for that? | 16:16 |
| regedit | Ah ok | 16:16 |
| OerHeks | and last but not least: it is spring-cleaning time, check the fans | 16:16 |
| regedit | will this memtest from the system disk itself do? not sure i have a live USB available with me today.. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/iMA2dneS/irccloudcapture13750113.jpg | 16:18 |
| OerHeks | regedit, well, you say you cannot boot proper, so no, use live iso. | 16:19 |
| EriC^ | regedit: unmount to mount vfs on block suggests some kind of hdd related problem, try the smart test first, or at least to manually mount the hdd partitions, if it's dead then it's dead | 16:20 |
| EriC^ | *unable to | 16:20 |
| PCatinean | ducasse, sftpclone looks nice also | 16:21 |
| regedit | Alright I'll need some time to make me a bootable USB. Are y'all sure there's no mem/hdd testing i can try to do from the os HDD itself, memtest or something in recovery mode (if it can get that far...)? | 16:23 |
| regedit | what should i try next, i tried the 45 and the 44 kernel https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/eQU8X2Gb/irccloudcapture1837360372.jpg | 16:24 |
| OerHeks | already told you, if memtest turns out 100% oke, it is a diskfailure, but without proper smart data i cannot tell, screenshots are not saying anything | 16:25 |
| OerHeks | but if memtest give errors, maybe the disks are fine. | 16:26 |
| DexDeadly | Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. I setup ubuntu 16.04 with ISPConfig3. I pointed my DNS record on my google domains account over to the webhost IP address. | 16:26 |
| DexDeadly | Now when I try to go to the site I get ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR | 16:26 |

| PCatinean | it says no such file or directory | 16:28 |
| PCatinean | what the hell? | 16:28 |
| regedit | OerHeks: i was trying to confirm whether i must run memtest from an external usb or can i run it off the system os drive | 16:28 |
| OerHeks | regedit, i answered that twice, but ask again .. | 16:28 |
| wadadli | Hey there I have a Sharkoon SATA QUICKPORT XT, when I connect the device to my desktop I don't see the Samsung SSD that's sitting in it show up in the Disks ubuntu utility. | 16:33 |
| regedit | EriC^: working on a bootable USB. Meanwhile any chance you can tell me if memtest would be helpful and if it makes sense to run it off the os drive itself, from the grub boit menu like so: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/s37CH5DD/irccloudcapture-55739339.jpg | 16:33 |
| regedit | *boot | 16:33 |
| jnagro | hah got it working. as computer booted, hit up/down key a bunch so i got into "Advanced settings" | 16:34 |
| CrazySane | regedit: memtest does just that, tests the memory - so once the application is loaded into memory, the disk it came from shouldn't affect your results. (am I right there?) | 16:34 |
| jnagro | keyboard _sorta_ worked, so i did a `reboot` from there (software reboot) and that meant keyboard was already initalized, then when i got to the password part it worked. | 16:34 |
| whilhelm | faerel_: and why did you want me here? | 16:36 |
| EriC^ | regedit: yes you should be fine, memtest takes a lot of time though | 16:37 |
| EriC^ | 8-9hours or something, check the disks first imo | 16:37 |
| EriC^ | regedit: according to the link you posted earlier, the disk is on its way out, 896 bad sectors | 16:39 |

| vlammer | hi all, so I was working for some school homework and there is a question that the port 23 is used for 3 different things | 17:08 |
| vlammer | I find 2 of them: Telnet and complex-main | 17:08 |
| vlammer | but I can't find the third one, any ideas? | 17:08 |
| nacc | !ot | vlammer: you may want ##linux or a more general chnne | 17:10 |
| ubottu | vlammer: you may want ##linux or a more general chnne: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 17:10 |
| nacc | *chnnel | 17:10 |
| OerHeks | lsof -i :23 | 17:10 |
| nacc | OerHeks: good call, but i think they mean 'hypothetically' | 17:11 |
| OerHeks | yes, we should add "we do homework for you too" to the topic :-D | 17:12 |
| energizer | In `top`, what does TIME+ mean? I read the manpage but Im not clear. | 17:12 |
| vlammer | OerHeks: did my part could not find anything else, so lets ask on IRC | 17:12 |
| vlammer | not asking to solve my whole question | 17:12 |
| OerHeks | vlammer, answer 3 is trojans http://www.speedguide.net/port.php?port=23 | 17:12 |
| nacc | OerHeks: heh :) | 17:13 |
| nacc | vlammer: still !ot here -- this is a support channel | 17:13 |
| Azulflame | energizer, TIME+ in top is time the process has been running | 17:13 |
| vlammer | OerHeks: apperently not the answer, but will move to #!inux | 17:13 |
| energizer | Azulflame: what is 'time' | 17:14 |
| Azulflame | the time command, or the 'TIME+' coloumn in $ top? | 17:14 |
| Azulflame | because they are different | 17:14 |
| energizer | the TIME+ column in top. how is it measured | 17:14 |
| Azulflame | HH:MM:SS the process has been running | 17:15 |
| energizer | walll clock time? | 17:15 |
| Azulflame | yah | 17:15 |
| Azulflame | yeah | 17:15 |
| energizer | are you sure? i started this process 8 hours ago, and it says 105:01.30 | 17:16 |
| pleasehelp | when i type ifup enp0s25 10.0.0.1 the interface soon loses its ip address .... why? | 17:16 |
| nacc | no, TIME and TIME+ are cpu time consumed | 17:16 |
| nacc | as per the manpage | 17:16 |
| pleasehelp | I am using 16.04 | 17:16 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: that's not a very typical IP address, for one, and also are you on a desktop or server? | 17:16 |
| energizer | is there a way to find out how long a process has been running for, in wall clock time? | 17:16 |
| pleasehelp | desktop | 17:17 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: are you using network manager or another gui tool? | 17:17 |

| nacc | energizer: 'how long a process has been running for' -- processes are not constantly running, they are being scheduled by the kernel | 17:18 |
| nacc | energizer: ah that has nothing to do with the processes running then :) | 17:18 |

| reggie_ | hey folks need some help | 17:23 |
| reggie_ | hello folk need a little help instaling vmware | 17:23 |
| reggie_ | [13:19] <reggie_> it's installed however when I try to execute app it gives me an error | 17:23 |
| reggie_ | [13:20] <reggie_> GNU C Compiler (gcc) version 6.2.0 was not found | 17:23 |
| reggie_ | [13:20] <reggie_> I do have GCC 6 installed | 17:23 |
| reggie_ | [13:20] <reggie_> not sure why it can't find it though | 17:23 |
| nacc | energizer: i think `ps aux` will show you the start time | 17:23 |
| nacc | energizer: so it must be somewhere | 17:23 |
| pleasehelp | also you said to look at /etc/network/interfaces ....... but what did you want me to look at exactly in the file? Thanks | 17:23 |
| nacc | reggie_: afaik, vmware is not an ubuntu package | 17:24 |
| nacc | energizer: oh of course you could always look at the ctime of /proc/<pid> | 17:24 |
| reggie_ | guess that's a hint to hit vmware irc | 17:24 |
| nacc | reggie_: yeah | 17:24 |
| reggie_ | ok | 17:25 |
| pleasehelp | naac, it is non-obvious how to tell what application is associated with each icon in the panel | 17:25 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, it is non-obvious how to tell what application is associated with each icon in the panel | 17:25 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: i feel like you can click on each icon and it should be pretty obvious what it is | 17:25 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: also, i wasn't helping you at this point, others were | 17:26 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: you can also just see if NM is running: `ps aux| grep -i Network` and see if NetworkManager is running | 17:26 |
| OerHeks | pleasehelp, so you are running 2 networkmanagers? | 17:26 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, I have clicked and it is totally non-obvious. For instance the application name isn't listed ANYWHERE after clicking the icon and there is no about OR help. | 17:27 |
| pleasehelp | OerHeks, is wicd a network manager? | 17:27 |
| vlammer | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD | 17:27 |
| OerHeks | wicd is a networrkmanager, you installed that manually, i guess. | 17:27 |
| vlammer | pleasehelp: ^ | 17:28 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: wicd will manage both wireless and wired connections | 17:28 |
| === boiko_ is now known as boiko | ||
| pleasehelp | vlammer, I see, I was not aware of this. I thought it was a configuration tool. | 17:28 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: what do you think a network manager is? | 17:28 |
| OerHeks | one cannot install multiple networkmanagers, like paint programs. | 17:28 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: it's manages your network configuration | 17:28 |
| OerHeks | its a tool + service deamon. | 17:29 |
| pleasehelp | I previously to this conversation thought that a network manager actually sent commands to the hardware and a configuration manager would edit text files or interact with your network manager. | 17:29 |
| nacc | one could design something like that, but both NM and wicd, afaik, do both | 17:31 |
| pleasehelp | why can't I use any number of network managers ....... so long as I have at least that many networking devices? | 17:31 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: becuase they all will try to manage all your networking devices | 17:32 |
| pleasehelp | for instance I am happy with wicd for my wifi ... can't I just leave it alone and do something else for my ethernet? | 17:32 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: you *can* have multiple network managers (note that NetworkManager is a specific tool). But you have to configure them correctly | 17:32 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: and in your case, you're trying to use a non-manager altogether | 17:32 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: so you need to tell wicd to not managed your wired interface, which it probably is doing by default | 17:32 |
| pleasehelp | I will look now at its options and report back ....... but thank you for help so far | 17:33 |

| _rubik | Hey guys. I'm trying to gracefully shutdown a 16.04 vps. I'm running znc on one user, so the simple reboot command doesn't give it time to close ports and notify irc servers. I was thinking of using init6 to let znc close cleanly before rebooting. Ideas? | 17:48 |
| nacc | _rubik: run znc as a service instead? | 17:48 |
| _rubik | nacc: Well that would be the solution to my problem. But I guess my underlying question. What is the more graceful way to restart my system considering reboot calls kill -9, which is a force quit. | 17:49 |
| alkisg | _rubik: reboot doesn't call kill -9 afaik | 17:49 |
| raffel | init 0 :^) | 17:50 |
| alkisg | You can also ask the login manager to logout + reboot | 17:50 |
| alkisg | There are dbus calls for that | 17:50 |
| _rubik | alkisg: Then what does reboot call? | 17:50 |
| alkisg | _rubik: I'm guessing it calls kill normally first, giving some time for applications to close gracefully | 17:51 |
| alkisg | It's implemented by systemd nowadays | 17:51 |
| _rubik | alkisg: Well when I last called reboot, it closed znc before it was able to send a logout to freenode. So I just left my Nick as a ghost when the vps rebooted | 17:52 |
| alkisg | _rubik: if you `kill znc`, does it close properly? | 17:52 |
| alkisg | It might be an issue with znc, not with reboot... | 17:53 |
| _rubik | alkisg: Honestly I wouldn't be surprised | 17:53 |
| alkisg | Also it should be possible to tell nickserv to remove the ghost upon znc login | 17:53 |
| alkisg | I'm not using znc so I don't know the details there | 17:54 |
| nyaakobot | Does apt-get only update software installed through apt-get? silly question | 17:55 |
| alkisg | No, it updates everything in apt sources | 17:55 |
| alkisg | So if you installed something with dpkg but it's also in the repositories, it'll get updated | 17:55 |
| _rubik | alkisg: Yeah I'm asking someone in the znc channel. It's not a huge issue,I just want to get to the bottom of it. | 17:55 |
| alkisg | But if you installed it with dpkg and it's not in the repositories, it won't | 17:55 |
| nyaakobot | Ah, so I need to add the repository so that i dont have to manually download new versions? | 17:56 |

| alkisg | Does it work in recovery mode? | 18:05 |

| arog | does shutdown send SIGINT as well or does it send SIGKILL? | 18:55 |

| reubenabrams | xer0: As far as I recall (and I'm a bit rusty), 'export' sets the contents of an environmental variable until that shell closes. DISPLAY contains the X window server # that apps such as ssh will use. | 19:20 |
| ChaiTRex | mohd: If you have files you want to keep, you might want to do PhotoRec before TestDisk and save the files it recovers on a second disk. | 19:20 |

| reubenabrams | ioprev: That makes sense. I've used dnsmasq to assign the PC an IP address when it connects. The Pi runs on 192.168.42.1 and its dnsmasq daemon has assigned 192.168.42.111 to the PC. Now, if only I could route the packets properly... | 19:22 |

| Delvien | maybe, matrox is a server graphics card vendor mostly, so that makes sense | 20:09 |
| rek | https://pastebin.com/u9kXncua Delvien | 20:09 |
| kenrin | Goodluck with that card: https://askubuntu.com/questions/875662/drivers-for-matrox-p690-with-ubuntu-16-04 | 20:09 |
| rek | sorry it's the only card i can use now | 20:09 |
| Delvien | rek did you install the matrox drivers from their website? | 20:10 |
| rek | i read installing stuff from websites is not good | 20:11 |
| kenrin | It is when included stuff doesn't work correctly or work at all | 20:11 |
| rek | sticking to your repo is the real deal | 20:11 |
| Delvien | rek http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/support/drivers/download/certified/ | 20:11 |
| Delvien | rek the repo wont have everything under the sun. | 20:11 |
| OerHeks | drivers from 2008 ... it should work with xserver-xorg-video-mga, maybe write your own xorg.conf | 20:12 |
| Delvien | OerHeks: right but that doesnt mean they dont work. I mean hell, hes using a 3 year old ubuntu release | 20:13 |
| K350 | Anyone here using ncmpcpp ? | 20:14 |
| Delvien | K350 if its a question speficially related to ubuntu support, ask away, otherwise there may be a channel out there better suited to your question | 20:15 |
| K350 | Delvien: Yea, maybe it's caused by Ubuntu. I'm unable to remove playlists in ncmpcpp | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | rek: i think the bottom line is: if you are looking for a well supported piece of fast hardware, you need to acquire one. currently you neither have a well supported one nor a fast one. | 20:17 |
| tomreyn | this card has 128 MB DDR2 VRAM | 20:17 |
| rek | tomreyn, not my purpose.... i know | 20:18 |
| Delvien | K350 I doubt its due to "ubuntu" probably due to a config file, or a missing lib; something of that nature. | 20:22 |
| Delvien | rek try the driver i linked (if youre running 32bit) if not, I am unsure where to point you,as that card is very old, and the maker has not updated their driver in 8~ years | 20:24 |

| notmike | What do I need to do to optimize Ubuntu for an SSD? | 20:33 |
| notmike | I know to move /swap, /home, and possibly /var /tmp to HDD (although I've been told the last two may create issues with logging. | 20:34 |
| OerHeks | ssd these days do not wear an tear anymore, within 10 years, so no extra option is needed. | 20:35 |
| Delvien | OerHeks: maybe he has an old one :P | 20:35 |
| k1l | notmike: ubuntu got a cronjob for trim. that is enough for regular recent ssds. | 20:35 |
| OerHeks | noatime, discard, swappiness, i did not touch those. | 20:37 |
| notmike | this dude on the internet told me: "For a while, SSD partions were trimmed by adding the discard option to a partition’s entry in /etc/fstab. However, including discard is far more active than running fstrim, since it trims on the fly. This behavior means that discard writes to the disk far more often than fstrim, which makes it counter-productive." | 20:38 |

| Delvien | notmike sorry I only trust mike with these things. | 20:39 |
| * notmike nods, sagely | 20:39 | |
| k1l | notmike: yes. discard was a solution from the early days. after a while the hardware got better and now the cronjob with fstrim running once a week seems to better for the daily use | 20:42 |

| ppf | donofrio: greyed out where/how? | 20:48 |
| donofrio | I'll take a screenshot one moment... | 20:48 |
| kenrin | Either hit the connect button in networkmanager or hit the enable wireless key combo on your laptop | 20:48 |

| Delvien | k1l he was asking what the un pw is. which we said it was ubuntu as un, and hit enter for pw, hes either not doing this, or theres something wrong with his session. He could just reboot | 20:53 |
| alkisg | notmike: the install ubuntu option goes to a graphical dialog, it doesn't prompt you for user/pass normally. Do you see a graphical dialog? | 20:53 |
| notmike | I did reboot, still doesn't work. | 20:53 |
| ppf | donofrio: do you have a hardware switch? | 20:53 |

| alkisg | tsimonq2: there are other methods that support that, like lxc or chroots, but it's a bit different concept there | 21:01 |
| blorpa | ppf: it gave a white or clored screen so I tried to delete many packages and then reinstall, but before that it worked | 21:01 |
| ppf | blorpa: after install? or after you did something? | 21:02 |
| kenrin | donofrio: You can try hitting the enable wireless to turn it off, wait 10 sec, turn it on, wait and see if it un greys. Failing that, There might be a bios option to enable the Wifi | 21:02 |
| tsimonq2 | alkisg: Ok, thanks. | 21:02 |
| alkisg | blorpa: it's quite possible that now you're missing needed packages because you (auto)removed more than you reinstalled | 21:02 |
| ppf | blorpa: it sure sounds like you broke your system | 21:03 |
| alkisg | blorpa: boot to recovery, enable networking, and put /var/log/apt/history.log to pastebin, to see the packages that you removed | 21:03 |
| lakiluki | ppf: Thanks, that worked! I guess now he should try to replace the open source nvidia drivers with the proprietary drivers, right? Since the open source drivers don't seem to really work with the 900m series | 21:03 |
| ppf | lakiluki: yes, that's a good idea | 21:03 |
| Delvien | lakiluki: ive never had good luck with nouveau :;/ | 21:03 |

| cryptk | Hello all, I am trying to figure out how exactly Ubuntu packages up OpenStack nova, does anyone know where I might find some documentation on how I could replicate those packages if I wanted to? | 21:05 |
| alkisg | blorpa: the command to put it to pastebin is, cat /var/log/apt/history.log | nc termbin.com 9999 | 21:05 |
| lakiluki | Delvien: Same, they don't really seem to work that well. I've never had problems with the AMD open source drivers such as xf86-video-ati, though | 21:05 |
| donofrio | kenrin, turning it off and waiting and turning it back on hasn't changed anything, well it it, my ap was not listed when disabled and it's returned toi grey when enbled... | 21:06 |
| kenrin | I don't think looking for a bios option will help then, it seems to be on if its showing your AP | 21:06 |
| donofrio | kenrin, agreed but I cannot select it, and have yet to hhave been able to type in password..... | 21:07 |

It does not happen all the time but I would like to know if I can check a log or something to see what is going on. When that happens I press Ctrl Alt F1 and reboot the computer. This is the graphics card info http://p | 21:39 |
| MeXTuX | aste.ubuntu.com/24308851/ Thanks in advance | 21:39 |
| pleasehelp | Disabling NetworkManager does NOT disable networking | 21:39 |
| bekks | pleasehelp: No one said that. You disabled NetworkManager and NetworkManager is what provides/configures the IP. | 21:40 |
| bekks | So disabling it removes the IP configured in NetworkManager. | 21:40 |
| pleasehelp | bekks, I was told networking used /etc/network/interfaces NOT NetworkManager | 21:40 |
| bekks | pleasehelp: networking is different from NetworkManager. | 21:41 |

| kenrin | He said it was connected via crossover | 21:44 |
| kenrin | to a rpi | 21:44 |
| pleasehelp | thanks kenrin! | 21:44 |
| bekks | pleasehelp: and whats the IP of the pc? | 21:45 |
| pleasehelp | 10.0.0.1 | 21:45 |
| pleasehelp | the rpi is 10.0.0.200 (assigned by dhcp server running on 10.0.0.1) | 21:45 |
| pleasehelp | I can ssh into the rpi and it works well | 21:45 |
| bekks | So whats the problem? | 21:46 |
| pleasehelp | however, if I reboot the rpi the 10.0.0.1 interface loses its ip address! | 21:46 |
| pleasehelp | (or disconnect it or power it off) | 21:46 |
| bekks | So you have a dhcp server running on your rpi? | 21:46 |
| Koko | hello | 21:46 |
| pleasehelp | NO! The rpi gets the ip address from the pc | 21:46 |
| pleasehelp | the pc is 10.0.0.1 | 21:46 |
| bekks | then why do you configure the same IP on the rpi, too? | 21:47 |
| wedgie | so when the link goes down and then comes back up, the interface doesn't get configured | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | I don't! | 21:47 |
| Koko | i need some help with ubuntu | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | The rip is 10.0.0.200 (configured via dhcp) | 21:47 |
| kenrin | I think wedgie hit the issue | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | ip of pc is 10.0.0.1 static | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | rpi works fine | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | pc does not work fine | 21:47 |
| Bashing-om | pleasehelp: As you ar not using network-manager; what shows ' grep managed= /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf ' ? | 21:47 |
| pleasehelp | it loses the ip address when the rpi is rebooted | 21:48 |
| pleasehelp | managed=false | 21:48 |
| bekks | pleasehelp: so whats the /etc/network/interfaces of the rpi? | 21:48 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: do you have logs from the pc when the ip is 'lost'? | 21:48 |
| pleasehelp | dhcp ........ it shouldn't be able to cause another system from losing its ip address | 21:49 |
| bekks | of course it can, when having an ip conflict. | 21:49 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, which logs-- I will provide them | 21:49 |
| pleasehelp | bekks, there isn't a conflict since it is 10.0.0.200 | 21:49 |
| pleasehelp | which it obtains from the dhcp server and I can see it in the leases file | 21:49 |
| pavlos | /var/log/syslog on the pc should contain entries when the pi git its ip (.200) | 21:49 |
| bekks | pleasehelp: So pastebin the /etc/network/interfaces of the rpi please. | 21:49 |
| pleasehelp | I never modified rpi | 21:49 |
| Bashing-om | pleasehelp: That says network-manager manages the networking . for "you" to manage, set it to ' true ' . | 21:49 |
| nacc | pavlos: thanks was just checking that | 21:50 |
| kenrin | You know what would fix that issue? Putting a switch between the PC and RPI | 21:50 |
| koko | hi | 21:50 |
| pleasehelp | one minute | 21:51 |
| pleasehelp | nacc,bashing-om: I disabled network manager so what difference does it make? | 21:51 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: what difference does what make? i asked for logs that show what is actually happening on the pc | 21:51 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, I am happy to provide the logs .. which logs would you like? | 21:52 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: as pavlos said earlier, syslog around the time it happens | 21:52 |
| Bashing-om | pleasehelp: Ya got me . I di not know all the jools and scripts that get called . IF /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf does get called ya want the system to know that networking is controlled from /etc/network/interfaces . | 21:52 |
| pavlos | pleasehelp, grep DHCP /var/log/syslog and pastebin this output | 21:53 |

| andrej | I need to diff changes someone did on the file against the stock version | 22:02 |
| pleasehelp | ps: I am very thankful for the help | 22:03 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: ok, the link goes down on the interface enp0s25 (which is true because you have rebooted the other end of hte link) | 22:04 |
| ChaiTRex | andrej: These might help: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/72746/get-diff-changes-between-original-files-installed-with-apt-and-current-files | 22:04 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, having a link is NOT a requirement for having an ip address assigned | 22:04 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, the interface can have an ip with or without a cable | 22:05 |
| hxegon | koko: unless you are talking about that white box in the upper left corner, I don't see what you are describing | 22:05 |
| koko | yes | 22:05 |
| koko | the frame is white | 22:05 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: i undrestand, i'm telling you what your log says | 22:06 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: *something* believes enp0s25 is using dhcp | 22:06 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, ok, thanks, yes -- it does go down and it does say that and it does lose the ip address at (or very close to) the same time | 22:06 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: earlier you said you were using wicd | 22:06 |
| hxegon | koko: So that box is a window? what program is it? | 22:06 |
| koko | well i guess it's not the program because it happens everywhere | 22:07 |
| legendpop | hi | 22:07 |
| koko | for example when pressing control + w | 22:07 |
| hxegon | koko: have you tried restarting? | 22:07 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, yes, however I was told (not here or by you) that wicd would NOT do anything to an ethernet interface which was setup in /etc/network/interfaces | 22:07 |
| koko | everything has a weird white frame | 22:07 |
| koko | i did a few time restart | 22:07 |
| legendpop | I'm using feren os | 22:08 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, that by configuring it in interfaces you disable wicd | 22:08 |
| pleasehelp | (for that interface) | 22:08 |
| legendpop | and i have problem with my wifi driver | 22:08 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: i don't know if that is true or not | 22:08 |
| koko | i meant super + w | 22:08 |
| legendpop | please help | 22:08 |
| hxegon | koko: was there anything you did (tweaked a setting, update, installed a package, change hardware, etc) right before this started? | 22:09 |
| pleasehelp | maybe I can run strace or something on wicd to find out? | 22:09 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: is this interface (enp0s25) listed in wicd (gui)? | 22:09 |
| koko | hxegon well i am not sure | 22:10 |
| hxegon | legendpop: Describe the problem please | 22:10 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, checking | 22:10 |
| koko | hwo | 22:11 |
| koko | have you encountered something similar? | 22:12 |
| koko | maybe a bug in a new update | 22:13 |
| koko | i don't know | 22:13 |
| hxegon | koko: when did you update? | 22:13 |
| koko | yesterday | 22:13 |
| hxegon | or rather, did you update shortly before this started happening? | 22:13 |
| hxegon | ah | 22:13 |
| koko | i thought an update/upgrade would fix it | 22:14 |
| koko | unfortunately it didn't | 22:14 |
| hxegon | so it was happening before that? How long has this been going on? | 22:14 |
| koko | a week at most | 22:14 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: also it generally makes little sense to have both wicd and network manager installed | 22:14 |
| OerHeks | koko happens after hybernate? | 22:14 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, I am not using network manager so I could uninstall it | 22:14 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, it is disabled currently | 22:15 |
| koko | haven't noticed | 22:15 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: this might be avahi? i see that it withdraws the records for enp0s25 | 22:15 |
| andrej | thanks ChaiTRex - that's what I tried. But the original is NOT in the deb, so I can't compare it, and hence my question | 22:15 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, I do see the wired interface in wicd but it is totally unclear to me how to know if it is being used or not by wicd | 22:15 |
| nacc | andrej: i'm guessing proftpd uses /usr/share/proftpd/templates/proftpd.conf | 22:15 |
| nacc | andrej: to mabye generate the actual proftpd.conf | 22:16 |
| nacc | pleasehelp: i don't understand what you mean and i don't use wicd | 22:16 |
| OerHeks | koko tons of bugreports seems to be solved with the 370 driver , http://askubuntu.com/questions/896277/white-border-after-resuming-ubuntu / http://askubuntu.com/questions/896221/strange-artifacts-along-window-borders-after-waking-computer-from-sleep-mode | 22:16 |
| ChaiTRex | andrej: One suboptimal alternative is to install it on a virtual machine and copy over the file. | 22:16 |
| koko | i will try | 22:17 |
| koko | thanks OerHeks | 22:17 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, do you want me to disable wicd? | 22:17 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, if I do I will lose this chat channel but I can test with it disabled and see if the interface stays up when the rpi reboots | 22:18 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, I don't know a lot about avahi | 22:19 |
| ChaiTRex | andrej: I keep a small immutable VM image for experiments. It comes in handy for things like that sometimes. | 22:19 |
| nacc | ChaiTRex: lxd makes that pretty trivial (lxc launch ubuntu:xenial) | 22:20 |
| andrej | thanks nacc - how did I miss that =} | 22:20 |
| nacc | andrej: i used `apt-file` to search for proftpd.conf | 22:20 |
| pleasehelp | nacc, thank you again ... I will disable wicd and be back after I know the results | 22:20 |
| andrej | ChaiTRex - sounds like a reasonable approach ;} | 22:20 |
| adrian_1908 | hello, I'm unsure how best to set permission on my web server, could someone give me advice? | 22:21 |
| andrej | I just did a dpkg -S /etc/proftp/proftpd.conf which came back emptyhanded :) | 22:21 |
| andrej | thanks again | 22:21 |
| nacc | andrej: rigt, because i think it's a postinst step maybe? rather than a package-owned file | 22:22 |
| kenrin | Can't go wrong with 755 directory and 644 files andrian_1908 | 22:22 |
| andrej | sounds logical | 22:22 |
| ChaiTRex | nacc: I'll look into that. Thanks :) | 22:23 |
| adrian_1908 | kenrin: Right. But I'm unsure about ownership of the files. I have my "admin" user that should have "7" on all web-content, the webserver "www-data" that only needs files:4 and dirs:5 (I think?) and the PHP-fpm user that I presume should own the files, since it creates new ones under its name anyway. | 22:24 |
| === MasterScript is now known as zz_MasterScript | ||
| adrian_1908 | Should I make php-user:admin the owner of the files and set chmod g+s on all folders so the group gets preserved when php-user creates new files? | 22:26 |
| adrian_1908 | The webserver should be able to use the "other" rights 66[4] and 77[5], right? | 22:27 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: no. create a dedicated user, then run php-fpm as that user. as simple as that. with default perms (644 on files, 755 on dirs), nginx (as www-data) will read static files just fine. | 22:28 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: ideally, you'd want the PHP files to be owned by root, and only leave a directory where php may write, owned by that user. but that will complicate things if you have to update php through, say, sftp | 22:28 |
| adrian_1908 | blackflow: yes, I want easy modifying of content (e.g. sftp) for the admin user without sudo. | 22:29 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: it's a convenice, but note that faulty/vulnerable PHP will then be able to modify its own executables | 22:30 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: if you don't have to touch files created by php through sftp, then maybe you can have two users, one for php-fpm, but owned by another that you sftp with. | 22:31 |
| clackamas | blackflow: self-modifying executables is a feature. Not a fault ;) | 22:31 |
| blackflow | clackamas: I forget! :) | 22:31 |
| bonsaitree | It seems that while experimenting with the intel wireless drivers for Linux, i deleted something essential, and now my wireless card won't even show while running 'iwconfig'. Are there any generic wireless drivers that i can install via apt-get or what is the name of the iwlwifi package, since apt-get can't find a package named 'iwlwifi'. Thanks in advance. | 22:34 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: why are you using intel wireless drivers? | 22:35 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Well i guess those are the ones that should be used, idk? | 22:36 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: drivers come with the kernel | 22:36 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: what do you mean by "experimenting with the intel wireless drivers"? I assuem that means something not from Ubuntu | 22:36 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: and if, so, why? | 22:36 |
| nacc | *if so, why | 22:36 |
| clackamas | bonsaitree: apt-get --fix-missing install | 22:37 |
| adrian_1908 | black: Thanks for the input, I'll have to think more about that. I'm setting up a flat-file CMS and I think it'll be writing files all over the place, so granting permissions selectively might be very tedious. Making "admin" member of the "php-user" group wouldn't be much better than giving admin group ownership directly I guess. | 22:37 |
| adrian_1908 | (blackflow) so many Black* here ;) | 22:38 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: just not THE actual "admin" user, I hope | 22:38 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:I was deleting the 'ucode' files, and wanted to insert a fresh one into /lib/firmware. There were many there, so i deleted them all, and replaced with one version. I have done that because my wireless link stability has decreased over the last 2 weeks, and i wanted to try to fix that. | 22:38 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: ugh | 22:39 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: so you found a bunch of microcode files and deleted them all? | 22:39 |
| clackamas | bosaitree: or sudo dpk-reconfigure kernel-package | 22:39 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: so probably you deleted the microcode needed (firwmare) for your driver | 22:39 |
| nacc | clackamas: i think it's the linux-firmware package | 22:40 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Yes, but i think that those were just previous firmwares for the driver | 22:40 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: they are not. | 22:40 |
| blackflow | adrian_1908: then your simplest use case is to have one user you run php-fpm as, and sftp to. Thought I'd recommend separating owner of executables from the user who runs fpm, if at all possible. | 22:40 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Well, i made a mistake then | 22:40 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: and even if they were, why did you think you knew better than the package maintainers? | 22:40 |
| donofrio | interface doesn't support scanning? | 22:40 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: and what bother is it to you if there are older ones there? | 22:40 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: it doesn't make any sense what you did! :) | 22:40 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: i think you just need to `apt install linux-firmware` with maybe a flag to reinstall | 22:41 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Well i had a thought that newer == better, was not sure which version is used. Not very wise i see :) | 22:41 |
| adrian_1908 | blackflow: ok, I'll ponder on that and return if I have more questions. thanks! | 22:41 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: i'm 99% sure those numbers are not age, they are models | 22:41 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: so you just deleted all firmware for all intel wireless cards | 22:42 |
| nacc | !latest | bonsaitree: also, this is generally good advice | 22:42 |
| ubottu | bonsaitree: also, this is generally good advice: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 22:42 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:I see | 22:42 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:But if they are the firmwares for different models, how does that affect my single card? | 22:43 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: you deleted them all | 22:43 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: and presumably didn't put a firmware back in that supports your card | 22:43 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:But i replaced the one intended for my card, and it still doesn't work | 22:43 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: did you rebuild the initramfs? | 22:43 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Nope, i thought just inserting the ucode is enough :D | 22:44 |
| nacc | bonsaitree: did you look in dmesg to see if the firmware loaded? | 22:44 |
| clackamas | bosaitree: you need to run dpkg-reconfigure linux-firmware | 22:44 |
| koko | OerHeks: thank you; driver problem fixed; you are my superhero man; thank you | 22:44 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:Okay, will do that now | 22:44 |
| nacc | clackamas: i'm not sure that will do anything | 22:45 |
| nacc | clackamas: as the package contents have been removed | 22:45 |
| nacc | clackamas: it might, i'm just not sure | 22:45 |
| clackamas | bonsaitree: that should download any missing files and make sure they are configured correctly. | 22:45 |
| nacc | dpkg does not download anything | 22:45 |
| clackamas | nacc: I should work. That is what underlies 'apt-get --fix-missing' if memory serves me correctly. | 22:45 |
| nacc | clackamas: right, because *apt* downloads things | 22:46 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:So first apt-get --fix-missing, and after that dpkg-reconfigure linux-firmware? | 22:47 |
| clackamas | if you do apt-get install --fix-missing linux-firmware kernel-package | 22:49 |
| clackamas | that should should do everything you need. | 22:49 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:Okay, thanks | 22:49 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:So it turns out that even Linux has a "write this if you mess it up" command :D | 22:50 |
| clackamas | well, ubuntu does. | 22:51 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:Isn't that a generic command? But i guess it's connected with the repositories..? | 22:51 |
| nacc | linux != ubuntu/debian | 22:52 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Yes yes, my bad.. :) | 22:52 |
| nacc | apt only exists on the later, not in all linux, which i think was clackamas' point | 22:52 |
| clackamas | nacc: was correct reminding me that apt actually downloads stuff. | 22:52 |
| bonsaitree | nacc:Mhm | 22:52 |
| clackamas | I have been using RHEL too much lately. | 22:52 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:Wow, RHEL's website is one of the most beautiful websites i've seen lately | 22:53 |

| hxegon | clackamas: I don't have personal experience, but I've heard terrible stuf about system76's laptops | 22:55 |

| donofrio | kenrin, seen in dmesg that this interface doesn't support scanning? | 23:02 |
| CorsairX | Hi all, I'm having some issues installing Ubuntu server with a software RAID | 23:05 |
| CorsairX | I'm able to install ok but the computer is not able to see a bootable device (besides the USB key) after rebooting | 23:05 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:Nope, 'iwconfig' won't show the built-in wireless card | 23:06 |
| kenrin | That is strange, you sure "sudo rfkill list all" doesn't show any blocks ? | 23:07 |
| bonsaitree | kenrin:Nope, :no at software and hardware blocks | 23:08 |
| clackamas | bonsaitree: look in dmesg and also look through 'lsmod' to see if your wifi is there. | 23:08 |
| kenrin | Was talking to donofrio~ | 23:09 |
| kenrin | =) | 23:09 |
| kenrin | You might just need better drivers installed, i have no idea. Macs are strange but it should use the b43 firmware | 23:09 |
| bonsaitree | kenrin:Oh, okay :) | 23:09 |
| bonsaitree | clackamas:For which module should i search for? | 23:12 |
| CorsairX | After creating the raid I used the guided partitioning on the raid device | 23:12 |
| CorsairX | Re-running the installer and I get the follow (my apologies for the literal screen shot) | 23:12 |
| CorsairX | https://imagebin.ca/v/3HqaMBsl1WOy | 23:12 |
| CorsairX | Would welcome any advice | 23:13 |
| donofrio | ok I'll try reinstalling b43-firmware-install | 23:14 |

| Ghostreaver310 | I've been googling an issue and sent a message to freenode, but wanted an opinion here. I found my irc client open this morning after loggin off and closing it last night. it had a failed login from NickServ this morning. any ideas as to how this occurred? | 23:52 |
| schultza | if i seperate /usr, how much space does /usr and / need? | 23:52 |

| nacc | schultza: why are you separating /usr? | 23:55 |
| nacc | schultza: sizing it wrong will be painful to fix | 23:55 |
| === lubot is now known as wxl | ||
| schultza | not if you are using LVM | 23:56 |
| nacc | schultza: which you didn't say (or not say) | 23:56 |
| nacc | but even so, why do it? | 23:56 |
| schultza | and it's standard practice for red hat students... / needs space to run... /usr is pretty much programs that will run on top of gnu/linux | 23:56 |
| nacc | ... and you're on ubuntu | 23:56 |
| nacc | rhel can do whatever it wants, it's overhead and unnecessary afaict | 23:57 |
| schultza | im on gnu/linux | 23:57 |
| nacc | schultza: you're not on ubuntu? | 23:57 |
| schultza | red hat and ubuntu are different distros of the same thing | 23:57 |
| nacc | schultza: you're in the ubuntu support channel | 23:57 |
| hfp | Hi, I am using GNOME-terminal ans whenever there is a URL, the cursor changes into a hand pointer but I have to right click and "Open URL". Is this the only way? | 23:57 |
| nacc | schultza: separating /usr because RHEL does it is not really a very good answer | 23:57 |
| schultza | ubuntu doesnt need the guis in /usr to run.. command line will work with /usr seperated | 23:57 |
| nacc | schultza: i have no idea why you are mentioning that | 23:57 |
| schultza | doesnt matter my reasoning for why... how much space does it need and recommend? | 23:58 |
| nacc | schultza: we don't separate /usr in ubuntu by default, so there is no recommendation | 23:58 |
| nacc | and it needs what it uses | 23:58 |
| schultza | fine... ill installed it by default and do a du on that damn dir myself... later. | 23:58 |
| nacc | which will be exactly the size after installation, not the size after you do anything | 23:59 |
| nacc | again, it seems like overhead and completely unnecessary | 23:59 |
| nacc | schultza: if you are asking what a particular user's /usr is size wise, mine is up to 9GB | 23:59 |
| nacc | schultza: but that has nothing to do with recommendations or otherwise | 23:59 |
