Leonhey guys whats a decent IRQ client for xubuntu 16.0400:17
=== Leon is now known as Guest70762
Guest70762?00:17
krytarikGuest70762: If you mean IRC, HexChat would fit.00:18
Guest70762oops yeah im hammered, irc is what i meant lol00:19
Guest70762thanks for the tip though00:19
krytarikSure.00:19
LeonIRLhey can anyone see my chast00:31
LeonIRLchat*00:31
LeonIRLtesting hexchat right now00:31
krytarikYes.00:34
LeonIRLthank you00:46
LeonIRLcan anyone tell me where i can download the source for the apache2 dumpio module00:48
LeonIRLis it part of the apache2 dev package on xubuntu 16.04?00:55
krytarikLeonIRL: You can do "apt-get source apache2" to download the source package to the current directory - that includes it too.01:05
genii!info libapache2-mod-dumpio01:08
ubottuPackage libapache2-mod-dumpio does not exist in yakkety01:08
geniiSeems to be included standard with apache201:09
krytarikYes.01:09
LeonIRLthank you01:09
LeonIRLhas anyone here ever utilized dumpio for anything other than debug01:14
LeonIRLor patched mod_dumpio.c to give custom server debug output01:17
LeonIRLjust interested in the usefulness of going that route rather than writing some custom phase filters using mod_python01:18
krytarikLeonIRL: Maybe this topic is better discussed in #httpd01:20
LeonIRLok thanks for the heads up01:20
LeonIRLhey guys, i dont use IRC that often so forgive me, any reason i would have been banned from #httpd?01:31
LeonIRLi tried to register my nickname using nickserv01:32
LeonIRLbut it says im banned once i try to join the channel01:32
krytarikLeonIRL: You aren't identified right now.01:33
LeonIRLdo i need to register or...?01:41
LeonIRLany syntax hints would be great01:41
krytarikLeonIRL: See https://freenode.net/kb/answer/registration01:43
LeonIRLthanks01:43

krytarikSec.01:47
krytarikWell, I see you are in there now. :)01:53
LeonIRLyep thanks a lot for your help!01:55
LeonIRLsorry the Mr. Al Cool made it harder01:56
krytarikHehe. :D  And you are welcome.01:56
LeonIRL@krytarik sorry I'm not sure if the mod of #httpd is your buddy but he's not in the mood to talk02:22
LeonIRLany chance you can answer my questions?02:23
LeonIRLseems pretty quiet here right now...02:23
krytarikYeah, sadly I can see that.  But no, not really an Apache expert myself.02:23
LeonIRLim sure you could help me though02:24
LeonIRLbecause my question is well-rounded02:24
LeonIRLwhat would you look for when hiring an apache engineer02:25
LeonIRLthese days02:25
krytarikErm, knowledge in Apache..? :P02:25
LeonIRLor just a well-rounded linux engineer then02:25
LeonIRLim clutchin' at straws here02:26
krytarikMaybe just ask this in ##linux too - it's pretty general.02:28
LeonIRLyeah, i mean i reverted to "linux engineer" since #httpd wasn't exactly receptive to inebriated brainstorming02:29
LeonIRLbut ok02:29
LeonIRLwill do02:29

trixso im totally new to installing os's kinda computer inept11:48
trixdo i need to mount the iso11:48
trixto a usb flash drive11:48
trixi ahvent done this in like idk, 6 years11:48
knomethat question doesn't make sense... but you'll need some software to create the bootable USB from the ISO, yes11:50
knomeeg. you don't just copy the ISO to the USB11:50
trixk, thats what im asking11:50
trixis what do i do with the iso, i thought the term was mount11:50
knomemounting means a different thing; when you mount a USB drive for example, it'll show up in the directory structure11:51
trixmmmkay, so what is the term i wanted11:51
knomei don't think there is a one-word, catch-all term, but you're looking for "creating USB installation media"11:52
knomewhat is the operating system you are using to create the bootable USB?11:52
knome!usb | trix: for some tips on creating the bootable USB, see:11:53
ubottutrix: for some tips on creating the bootable USB, see:: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent11:53
trixthats probably what i need11:53
trixim on windows 711:53
knomehttps://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows11:54
knomethe same procedure works with the xubuntu ISOs11:54
trixwhat is this servers name. i use hexchat to talk on a few other networks. im using the webclient and its not as nice as hexchat11:55
knomechat.freenode.net11:55
trixty11:56
trixelnow im not as worried about closing the tab on accident11:58
trixelcreating the iso on a usb stick now12:02
trixelwould like to say thank you for your help already. saved me from googling12:03

trixel<that guy who takes  pics of his screen with a phone12:31
knomelooks like file access problems12:31
knomeyou sure the USB drive is ok?12:31
trixelnope, it was in my drawer12:32
trixelwhat do i do?12:32
trixelwhen the guy goes silent you know you done goofed12:33
knomewell you waited like 2 minutes... :P12:33
trixelive waited like 5-1012:33
knome2 since the last question though12:33
trixeli thought you wer etalking about the laptop12:34
knomeyou'll want to check if the USB drive is readable/accessible generally12:34
trixelsooo should i press the power button12:34
trixelplug it into my pc12:34
trixelwhen i went to do this i made sure that my usb was readable by my laptop12:35
trixellike installed device drivers and such12:35
knomeit's also possible something has went wrong when creating the bootable media12:35
trixelsoooo re do the whole thing?12:35
knomeat least you can try if that helps12:35
knomethough it won't help much if the USB drive is broken12:36
trixelso just checking, wont brick the laptop if i press the power button right?12:36
trixeli pressed alt f4 and my screen went blank..... lol12:36
knomeyeah, the installer isn't reading anything12:36
trixelima try again just from the usb,  ya know the old turn it off turn it back on trick12:39
trixelthen ill remake the usb drive12:39
trixelthen ill see if i have another usb stick12:39
trixelid fonzy it but for some reason i dont think hitting my laptop is a good idea12:39
trixelso looks like trying again got it to instal, im not on a page titled "install" and its displaying features to me. blue bar at the bottom is moving12:47
LeonIRL2hey everyone14:32

trixsudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ailin_nemui:/irssi-test/xUbuntu_16.10/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/irssi.list"14:44
trixsorrry, im using alaptop and my pc at hte ame time14:44

trixsorry tr again i on a differntline14:45
flocculantpassword is the normal password you were asked during install14:47
trixelnever set one14:48
flocculantyes you did14:48
flocculantit asks when you set up user14:48
LeonIRL2^14:51
trixk, soi typed in what i use as my defaultpass14:51
trixand didnt getanything in respone14:51
trixnow when i paste the sudo cmd i dont get prompted for the pass14:51
flocculantwell you wouldn't - lasts for a short while without asking again14:52
trixwell ho doitell orfind what i just dled14:52
flocculantas far as response goes - if it fails it would give a response - if it worked then it doesn't14:52
trixk, seems like it worked then14:53
LeonIRL2are you confused about how to run the application?14:53
flocculanttrix: mmm - what is it you think you did? cos looks to me like you added an opensuse repo to your sources list14:53
LeonIRL2exactly^14:53
flocculant(which probably isn't a good plan unless you know what you're doing)14:54
trixi have zero idea hat im doing14:54
LeonIRL2ok good to know, so then we can help you a bit better14:54
trixim litterally attempting to intall irissi oican have airc client14:54
trixthats it14:54
trixi ent to thi page14:54
trixhttps://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home:ailin_nemui:irssi-test;package=irssi14:55
flocculantand why do you want that package?14:55
trixi just want an irc client14:55
trixim honestly not pickey14:55
LeonIRL2im using HexChat14:55
LeonIRL2its decent14:56
flocculanttrix: ok - best plan here is to undo what you did and then we can install one14:56
trixi use hex on my pc14:56
LeonIRL2you can do the following in a terminal to install hexchat: sudo apt-get install hexchat14:57
LeonIRL2but floc is right and we should remove that repository from your sources list14:57
trixhttps://pastebin.com/cG20k7Dj14:57
trixi grabbed hexchat14:58
LeonIRL2ok so now in a terminal type hexchat14:59
LeonIRL2then enter14:59
LeonIRL2should work14:59
LeonIRL2alternatively it should show up in the menu14:59
LeonIRL2any luck?15:00
bill__k, so i got hexchat to work15:00
LeonIRL2good stuff15:00
bill__now what is this thing about removing a repository15:00
bill__what exactly did i do before15:00
bill__god hex chat is ugly in default15:01
LeonIRL2your command earlier added a location where the irssi client can be downloaded from15:01
LeonIRL2i mean its not critical to remove it but its good practice15:02
bill__so what should i have done15:02
LeonIRL2to answer your question if you are new to linux and xubuntu then I would suggest using the software manager to search for applications first15:06
LeonIRL2before getting into adding repositories which is something you'll learn once you get a bit more comfortable15:07
bill__now that i have a irc client im probably goo15:08
bill__i a etting this laptop up to pay bills.  mainly.15:09
bill__the keyboard is so fucked i im getting really annoyed using it15:09
bill__theres a reason i got a pc :D15:09
bill__my next goal is to figure out ho to et a theme for hextchat so im not staring at a gwhite screen15:10
bill__oh, sorry abut the f word up there15:10
LeonIRL2In hexchat, Settings->Preferences->Interface->Colors15:10
bill__there was a way to use a theme i did it on my pc15:11
LeonIRL2perhaps someone else could chime in because i dont know if there's a way to do this on xubuntu...15:13
bill__i fixed it enough that its usable15:20
bill__thank you for all the help15:21
bill__next goal is get a mouse and keyboard cause this is terrible15:21
bill__im back spaccing every other word15:21
bill__anyways, im off15:22
