I'm looking to modify the global icons of my Ubuntu 16.04 install but I really don't know how this process works. I want to edit the icons that nautilus uses (like what folders look like in the GUI) and what my dock uses. I think the ones that are currently available are pretty ugly. [00:15] I have both unity tweaker tool and compiz installed and I know how to use both of them. [00:15] Trying to install MySQL-python in a virtualenv but get the error message: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages' This doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be touching my main python install should it? [00:16] israphial, hi, you can do it through the unity tweak tool, but you need to install an icon pack [00:16] I think I would like to make my own icons. [00:17] Could you tell me where the currently installed icon packs on my system are installed so I can emulate their filestructure and such? [00:17] israphial: /usr/share/icons [00:18] how to change my unity desktop, wanna install Mac OS X look, which ppa can i terminal [00:18] Anybody here with a macbook pro that can give me a hand? [00:18] Thanks dean and kwant! [00:20] Ugh my nautilus has been laggy and crashy today and I don't know why. [00:20] It just crashes after a while. Which is kind of disturbing. [00:20] israphial, it can be simpler than that, there are icon packs in the default software repo, for example, check the numix icon theme mentioned here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/10/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-16-10 [00:20] kwant: I have several icon packs installed already actually. I would like to make my own though. Or, at least find one according to my own taste. [00:21] I'm not a big fan of most I've seen. I was thinking of taking the circular design of the Numix circle icons and converting them into a transparent, line-based circular icon pack. [00:21] israphial, browse thought that article that I've linked and also through the "Themes" section of that website and you should find quite a few [00:21] israphial: Check out super flat remix: https://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Super+flat+remix+icon+theme?content=169073 [00:21] israphial, through* [00:22] Similar to the icons shown here: https://i.imgur.com/J4Wi8ixl.png @ dean and kwant [00:22] israphial, sorry, can't help much with making your own icons, but I can show you places where to find finished ones and how to install [00:23] Yep that's why I wanted to know where the icons are stored. I think what I'm going to do is copy an existing icon pack's file/folder directory, rename it, and redo all of the icons within it so that the filesystem footwork is done for me. [00:24] Once I'm done editing all of the icons I want to edit, I can apply the theme with unity tweak tool like I would any other pack. [00:24] And, now that you've shown me where the icon packs are stored, I can do exactly that. :) [00:25] is it true ubuntu 18.04 will be Gnome only instead of unity [00:25] Yes. [00:25] @ mncedisi [00:25] israphial, great, if you want so, make them available for everyone, some people might be happy with your style === SoulOfTheInterne is now known as ToBeFree [00:26] As long as I can complete the project and verify that it works, I will do exactly that. [00:26] hey all [00:26] allooooo [00:26] mncedisi: I'm sad about this. I just moved from fedora back to ubuntu. I used to hate unity. It's grown on me. And now it's going away lol [00:26] thats bad@ israphial [00:26] I'd be willing to bet that there are icon packs out there like what I'm describing already but I dont have the data to sort through thousands of images trying to find them unfortunately. Lol [00:27] I actually really like how screenspace-conservative unity is tbh. I've ran Ubuntu GNOME, Xubuntu, Debian, and Mint Cinnamon in vboxes and none of them are as sleek and space-saving as good ol unity with the ark-dark theme. imo. [00:28] @mncedisi / dean [00:28] folks why cant ubuntu run android APK FILES ITS ABOUT TIME [00:29] INSTEAD OF CHROME BROWSER [00:29] israphial, my thoughts exactly [00:30] hmm... After picking apart the numix-circle icon pack, it seems like it redirects to somewhere else. Like the icons are actually stored elsewhere. o_O [00:33] instaed of chrome browser [00:33] Is ubuntero.org still relevant and being used or is there another way to join the ubuntu community? [00:35] @mvensky i suppose it is [00:37] @mncedisi; thanks for the reply; the latest bug reports are from 2008 [00:38] @ mvensky re check your PPA [00:38] or add it [00:41] folks i used to use wine and plan on linux before in mint, now i just dont see the use if we had windows apps altenative s like unetbootin [00:41] hey, i'm trying to compile an old linux version (3.11.4) and getting a fatal error that it can't find compiler-gcc5.c, even though i'm specifying to use gcc-4.6 in the Makefile [00:42] which app can i use to create a USB windows ISO installer [00:43] as an altanetive to RUFUS [00:44] mncedisi, none sofar found. === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [00:47] @ QerHeks thanks in advance but what if i fomart my USB with gparted and extract the ISO file into it [00:48] @ QerHeks using NTFS fie system [00:49] good luck with that [00:49] lol === crpl__ is now known as CRPL [00:51] Is the windows ISO special?

I'm not a fan of fleshed out icons. I tried editing the files of numix-circle but I cannot save them in svg format and I cannot currently download the program that creates svg files due to a data restriction. [01:28] Hello, I have a problem with a Seagate Backup Plus (external HD). It's exfat formatted (on Windows 7). It's plug and play and it's automatically mounted on Ubuntu Mate 17.04, but on Ubuntu 12.04 it's not detected, it doesn't show even on lsusb output. Any idea?

I'm unable to find anything even remotely similar for linux. [01:32] Ben64 there arent instructions for linux/ubuntu [01:32] jack: you need to make sure it's listening on a public ip, but be sure that's what you actually want. normally they're only available to localhost for good reason [01:33] i assume i cant just apt-get install it... [01:33] im trying to use a remote control panel because i cant add an SSL to it because it wouldnt be on the same server as my SSL [01:33] I found an old post on /r/unixporn that had icons kiiiind of like that, but he said he... Made a theme from an apk or something weird. He linked an apk that he got the icons from. [01:39] hello. how can i read a line from a file ending with 11:22:33 and insert this line in to another file as hello112233 ? i could cat the file in to tail -c 8, but then still need to remove the : and pipe that wholething perhaps with sed into a file. seems complex. thanks === farchanjo_ is now known as farchanjo [01:41] jack: try #ubuntu-server maybe. I'd say you need to modify your config to have MySQL listen on a port, without ip restriction. And you'll need to open the firewall of course, which is very simple with UFW. [01:41] Make sure you have a strong password though :P [01:42] I have a touchscreen but gnome is not having it. xinput is not showing "touchscreen" what should I do?

I then applied a theme to it that made it only show the icons, not a background or overlay. Now, I want to make the icons transparent or super basic. I've looked for a theme like crazy that was just the outline of the icon with most of it being trasparent, but I can't find anything like what I'm explaining. [01:52] Something basically exactly like this, except for Linux: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.linesfree&hl=en [01:52] I use something similar on my phone and I'd like to use it on my computer as well.

Am unable to format the drive...any suggestions? [01:56] israphial: yes, be sure to publish them so people can benefit too. The example you gave does look nice. [01:57] I tried editing Numix's files but I can't save the files as .svg like numix wants. [01:57] for example [01:57] !gui [01:57] The graphical user interface (GUI) in Ubuntu is composed of many elements, including the !X server, a window manager, and a desktop environment such as !GNOME or !KDE (which themselves use the !GTK and !Qt toolkits respectively) [01:57] Gimp doesn't save in SVG unfortunately, and the only program I can find that will is huuuge and I don't have the data to download it. [01:59] I was in the #gnome chat and they explained that because xinput did not show touchscreen, that this would be a problem to look at in Ubuntu directly. So I was directed here.

But I wanted to know how I can check the specs and such on ubuntu. Is there something I should type into terminal? [06:16] so install ubuntu on a usb, could I just boot up a USB with the installer, then install it on a different USB. [06:16] and use that USB as the boot media [06:16] like, is it that easy?

[06:30] ok [06:44] Hi Guys! I need some help please. Its about pwmcontrol for the systemfans of my asus p5b [06:45] banyantree asus fan control isn't that great in the current kernel. I have ASUS M8F mobo [06:46] pwmconfig says There are no pwm-capable sensor modules .... [06:46] Easyrider: It's not really working for me [06:46] yep. The kernel has not been updated to discover the sensors on many ASUS mobos yet [06:48] Easyrider: shet. My mashine sounds like an airplane during takeoff [06:49] I had the same issue when I built this machine. Still waiting for the developers to add my mobo's sensors to the kernel. This is a common problem for many people especially those doing builds on recently released hardware [06:50] hmmm [06:51] Easyrider: thx for the info! [06:51] no worries === COBRA|2 is now known as mrete` [06:52] Is there a GUI that will tell me more about my computers specs and stuff or can I only see it via terminal? Because I can't tell anything about it from the commands I was given. [06:53] what spec do you want to know [06:53] BlitzerHound: which did you install - 'plain' ubuntu, xubuntu etc? [06:54] System Settings would be a good icon to click on [06:54] I dunno. I just want to know if the computer my brother gave me is any good. Like, can I play mine craft on it? Am I still not able to play games? That kind of stuff. [06:54] c And no I didn't. [06:56] BlitzerHound: well, try your games, see if they work well. [06:57] I just got this, though. I don't know how good this is so I don't want to install anything before I know if it can handle it. [06:57] I don't have any games on it at the moment. [06:58] BlitzerHound: did you install ubuntu or did it come with it? [06:58] I have full disk encryption set up on my laptop, and have been thinking about enabling automatic logon. I just tried it, but when it log in, I am prompted for the password anyway to unlock the login keyring. I assume this behavior is intentional, but doesn't it kinda defeat the purpose of automatic login? Is there any way around it that wouldn't compromise security? [06:58] BlitzerHound: you could look up the laptop model... [06:58] Well the computer belonged to someone else, and I didn't know the password so I just redid it with the ubuntu install media I had from installing it on the other laptop I have. [06:59] Huh. That's actually a pretty good idea lol. @ivan [06:59] BlitzerHound: or just look under system settings. [07:00] I looked under system settings and I think it tells me what I'm trying to figure out. [07:01] It says Memory: 2.7GiB [07:01] Is that the ram? [07:01] some_person setting up auto login pretty much defeats the idea of disk encryption [07:01] Easyrider: How so? [07:02] encryption is to keep snooping eyes out of your system. [07:02] Easyrider: You still have to enter the password to decrypt the disk [07:03] In any case, the keyring password isn't related to the encrypted dick ...at least I don't think it is. On my OpenSuSe systems they are seperate [07:03] I wouldn't expect it to be [07:04] but it seems to me that auto login is pretty useless if you still have to enter a password [07:04] You also have your $HOME directory encrypted which doesn't get unencrypted until you log in.

[09:36] ychost: hi [09:37] Hi, On Unity Desktop, the windo manager responds to certain key combinations (like alt+F1, alt+F4, ...) I am running a program (Milkytracker) that uses the same key combo for an internal feature/shortcut, but whenever I press the keys the window manager handles them instead of the application. Can I temporarily turn off all or most key combos handled by the window manager? [09:39] CorvusCorax, go to unity control center -> keyboard settings, you'll find the shortcuts there prolly under windows/navigation, reassign them or turn them off [09:42] @nanodrone, that would turn them off permanently, I'd have to re-assign each an every one of them back to what they were afterwards, wouldn't I? [09:44] Bad when programs use system key combos [09:44] well the thing is, every system has different key combos [09:47] Yes but still, you make a program on linux and make keycombos that conflicts with unity? [09:48] well that program was originally made for amigaOS, then ported to DOS, windows, OSX, linux, haiku and wince and android, while having the same key assignments [09:49] u can't change the entire workflow just because one insignificant OS (or even less, just one window manager) decides to have that key combo for some system operation. if you took them all into account there'd no useable key combos left [09:49] i can see that now, was looking it up. Looks cool, like from the old days. :;-) [09:49] :-) [09:50] CorvusCorax: so change it [09:50] It plays what wee called »Demo's« back then ?? [09:51] CorvusCorax: the best thing would be to permanently reassign those shortcuts in unity, as alt+key should be left for applications to use imo [09:51] i had issues like that before with a 3d modelling program under IceWM, it used ctrl+shift+alt in different combos + cursor keys and mouse wheel for different editing motions in 3d. unfortunately some of them were used by icewm and not changeable. isn't there a way to tell a window on the Xserver to take precedence over manager while active? [09:51] no [09:52] hello [09:52] @motie, yeah, well a full fledged demo is more than just the music, but tracks are an essential part of demos [09:53] :) [09:54] CorvusCorax: Yes i all forgot about flashing math graphics. [09:55] does the announcement of the future or lack of for unity effect the future of snaps and snapcraft? [09:55] stevehope: no [09:56] stevehope: kind of off topic, but not so much. Unity 8 and Ubuntu touch will continue at least for mobile under the main porter to phones it seems. Unity 7 will probably just not be developed anymore. and Snaps works for Canonical from a commercial perspective with servers and clouds etc, partners, so that will stay probably [09:56] Thanks, I thought I should ask [09:57] snaps will stay, since that is part of the IoT and cloud section that is the main focus now. [09:57] snaps off topic in ubuntu romm? lol its the Ubuntu's packaging system [09:57] CorvusCorax: are there still a demo scene ? [09:57] stevehope: ffuture of ubunt knd of is [09:59] sebsebseb: it's off topic if you aren't asking technical support questions [09:59] stevehope: ^^ [09:59] sorry, sebsebseb ;) [10:00] my nvidia gtx 1070 can [10:00] my nvidia gtx 1070 can' [10:00] my nvidia gtx 1070 can't use unity8 [10:00] so i change my os to deepin [10:01] my bad [10:02] ychost: deepin is not supported [10:02] stevehope: if you want to discuss snaps and the future, there is #ubuntu-discuss [10:02] thanks [10:03] ychost: try #deepin [10:08] hi, guys, when i change ip in /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking , but ip not changed, why?

Will it say "no updates found" or "no repositories found"? [10:41] JustCurious: i am assuming you installed with the right names although your syntax is wrong... from what I can see online, after install exfat-fuse, exfat-utils & fuse-exfat it should work [10:41] else I guess I am los [10:41] *lost [10:42] alkisg: some time after EOL the repos get shut down, yes [10:42] k1l: I'm interested in if schools will have the chance to end the school year without warnings, i.e. May specifically... [10:42] JustCurious: what does "dmesg" say after you plug it in? [10:43] fuse-exfat not found [10:44] alkisg: after the EOL there is the time when updates can still be run, but there are no updates on the servers. and after that the repos servers get shut down at all. so the updates will report an error [10:44] k1l: right, I was asking for the deadline, if it's after may or not... [10:44] I.e. the time when the repositories move to old-releases [10:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24339871/ [10:45] alkisg: usually that was "some time" the last releases. i am not aware of a timeschedule there. maybe the release team knows of a set timeframe [10:46] ty k1l :) [10:46] new xorg edition works great........

[12:10] how can i find out myself that apt-cache doesn't required root? [12:11] ducasse, I think i am updated to 17.04 actually [12:11] I forget I just installed it over kde-neon yesterday [12:13] ZeZu: well, 17.04 is not released yet, so problems are to be expected. [12:13] ZeZu: also, it's supported in #ubuntu+1 [12:13] yes [12:14] ducasse, yes I know and it's been a problem with kde consistantly .. one of the reasons i switched to kde-neon in the first place ( as well as to checkout newer plasma and kdevelop with newer version of Qt i was working with ) [12:15] So it's happened in 16.04,16.10 and still in 17.04 ... I don't know if it's just with this keyboard in particular? I would imagine or it would be fixed by now [12:16] ZeZu: have you asked in #kubuntu? [12:16] ZeZu: but don't do that while on 17.04, it's unsupported there [12:17] I probably have and in #kde [12:17] I think the response was more of, well it works so you must have it configured wrong :| [12:18] For some reason Chromium freezes for a few seconds when restoring session.

[13:11] No, but if I mark that for no updates I wonder if I can still get the 16.04 family? [13:13] That is a really good question. I would believe so. Are you all excited for Gnome being the new default DE? lol [13:15] I haven't heard about that... I only use Ubuntu on a 32 bit Laptop. Everything else is Solus. [13:16] stormcloud: you are mixing kernel updates with release updates. [13:16] stormcloud: if you are on 16.04.2 now you will get .3 automatically, no matter what you select there. [13:16] stormcloud: and 16.04.3 is not a new release like 16.10 is. its just a point-release. which is like the servicepack on windows [13:17] Dat LTS. [13:17] awesome... I didn't want it to try to update to 18.04 when the time comes. I heard Ubuntu is terminating support for 32 bit. So keep it on 16.04 is important. [13:17] stormcloud: and one should not block kernel updates. look at ubuntu.com/usn [13:18] stormcloud: 16.04 got 5 years support. meanwhile it will become 16.04.1 16.04.2 16.04.3 ..... [13:18] When did I block kernal updates? [13:19] stormcloud: sorry, then i misread your messages about kernel releaes [13:19] I was telling zach that i have .46 [13:19] What about using the dist-upgrade in termial. Should I not use that? [13:20] Is .46 the highest kernel you can update to? [13:20] stormcloud: 18.04 will be dropping 32-bit images aiui, but the repos will contain 32-bit packages [13:21] ducasse: Thanks! [13:21] hi [13:21] stormcloud: ubuntu doesnt use apt to upgrade to the next ubuntu release [13:21] k1l: I knew that... I don't know why I asked. [13:21] LoL === vi is now known as violet [13:22] stormcloud: better use the new command "sudo apt full-upgrade" which is phrased a bit better and doesnt confuse with naming "dist" [13:23] full-upgrade would do next LTS or 16.04.3? when it comes out? [13:23] stormcloud: ubuntu doesnt use apt to upgrade to the next ubuntu release [13:23] stormcloud: no, just regular updates [13:24] like the new kernals and so etc.... [13:24] stormcloud: .3 is just a kernel/x stack upgrade [13:24] and i dont know why you are scared of 16.04.3. you cant not become 16.04.3 because that is the state of all updates up to this date [13:24] stormcloud: once installed you wont get new kernel upgrade. it will stay on 4.4 kernel [13:24] I am not wanting past the 16.04 family... [13:25] Not scared of 16.0. [13:25] 3 [13:25] 4 or 5 [13:25] so run regular updates. it will stay on 4.4 kernel base. [13:25] Don't want 16.10 or newer. [13:26] uname -r: 4.11.0-041100rc3-generic [13:26] stormcloud: yes, we explained you now several times that this is not an issue [13:26] Thanks for your time. [13:26] :D [13:26] Can ping wireless printer from one computer on local network but not the other. Why? [13:27] the other computer doesnt have rights to access printer [13:27] x86_64 Linux 4.4.0-71-generic [13:27] Thats what I am up to on mine. [13:27] stevehope. How to check? [13:27] 4.8.0-46 is on mine. [13:28] on the one that wont connect open printers and look for network printers [13:28] Ah nice. How did you get up to 4.8? [13:28] stevehope: OK. Stand by. [13:28] add (plus icon) ..... [13:29] 4.9.20-12 on my Solus machine. [13:29] Thanks for all your help guys.. Have a great day. [13:30] hello [13:30] stevehope: Did: Add > Network Printer > Find Netw. printer > IP Adress, got answer No printer found on that address [13:31] stevehope: Is it not a network problem rather than a printer problem? [13:31] do you know store template free for website? [13:32] OK, I'm officially going bonkers here. Anyone up for helping me crack a sudoers challenge? [13:32] !ot | GIoans [13:32] GIoans: #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! [13:32] Ild suggest logging into the printer (via the connected computer, or USB) congiguration manager and check settings [13:33] fuck [13:34] stevehope: It is a very general advice you are giving, it seems to me. Any more specific ideas as to what the problem can be? I cant ping. [13:35] pth: can you ping other devices on the local network? [13:36] ducasse: Yes, I can ping the other ubuntu machines. Only I can't ping printer from machine 2, but from machine 1 I can. [13:36] whats your operating system, and printer including model, and name of configuration manager. I can't give specific suggestions for "my printer" [13:37] hello unityless people [13:37] :) [13:37] RIP unity [13:37] thank god the terminal stays [13:37] :p [13:38] lol [13:38] maybe not for too long [13:38] stevehope: Thank you for your efforts, but don't you also think it is a network problem when I can't ping, rather than a printer settings/permissions problem? [13:40] good luck, it's pointless for my to try to assist if you refuse to provide information such as what Operating System, and hardware you are having issues with [13:42] I dont see any sence of deliverying ubuntu 17.04 with unity if they are done with it [13:43] pth: he's right. operating system and make/model of printer is kind of essential information. [13:43] lucas-arg, because they need to get gnome ready [13:43] it had to get dropped at some point [13:44] stevehope: OK, sorry. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, HP Envy 97515 [13:44] lucas-arg: unity-desktop will move to universe repo, like the kde packages. but gnome-shell is not all that perfect to be shipped without adjustments and testing [13:45] pth: is this all one subnet? [13:45] ducasse: Unsure. How to check? [13:46] i dont get either if the will be more a cloud os or are they gonna be a desktop os, i mean, linuxs being trying to get into desktop computers, ubuntu was making that change, i dont know if marks annoucements makes any change to that view or pathway [13:47] dont get me wrong ive used ubuntu as my main os since hardy but now i feel lost [13:47] lucas-arg: ubuntu desktop will still be present a long time. mark did clarify that on google+ [13:48] pth: you would most likely know if it wasn't. [13:49] ducasse: I don't know. The IP adresses are the same but for the last number. [13:50] pth: ok, sounds like one subnet, although you would need to check the netmask on each device to make sure. i doubt that's it, though. [13:50] k1l: :) why thing i not in chanels [13:51] del banns [13:51] Hi. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I installed a kernel that hardlocks when I try to boot. Unfortunately, pressing to bring up grub (so I can load the older kernel) doesn't work. [13:52] ducasse netmask on machine 1 = netmask on machine 2 = 255.255.255.0 [13:52] I'm not on a USB live session. Is there a way I can fix this? [13:52] goldernan: try esc, is it a vm btw? [13:52] EriC^^: No, it's a laptop. [13:52] and so far has worked [13:52] I may try esc, but I doubt it would work. [13:52] pth: ok, so it's all one class c. [13:52] goldernan: try to disable fastboot in the bios [13:53] key problem is I can't run update-grub since this is a mounted filesystem. [13:53] OK, I'll try that. [13:53] wait what [13:53] Any other suggestions before I reboot? [13:53] goldernan: are you in the live usb right now? [13:53] ducasse: Don't understand "c". [13:53] EriC^^: yeys. [13:53] goldernan: ok, have you mounted it under /mnt? [13:53] EriC^^: under /media [13:54] pth: not important, just the name of that subnet size. [13:54] k1l {} [13:54] goldernan: ok, type "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /media$i; done" [13:54] goldernan: replace /media with the path to the mountpoint [13:55] EriC^^: OK, done [13:55] ducasse & stevehope: So where do I start with my printer problem. I can ping the printer from machine 1 but not machine 2 === wildc4rd_ is now known as wildc4rd [13:56] pth: how are the machines connected? [13:56] k1l nazdrave lame chears hahhaah [13:57] EriC^^: now what? :) [13:57] goldernan: type sudo mount /media [13:57] sorry [13:57] sudo chroot /media [13:59] ducasse: machine 1 -> eth0 to router. Machine 2 and printer -> wlan0 to router === jessica is now known as Guest72771 [13:59] pth: what kind of router? [13:59] goldernan: done? [14:00] ducasse: Technicolor TG788vn from my ISP [14:01] pth: means nothing to me, i'm afraid, but i think i know what's going on. some routers isolate wlan clients from each other, i suspect yours is one of them. [14:02] pth: if there is an admin interface you have control over, look there. [14:02] ducasse: Sounds plausible. I had to set up my own /etc/hosts file to ping machines 1 and 2 [14:03] ducasse: I have admin on router. What should I look for [14:04] pth: it could be as clearly labelled as 'isolate wireless clients'. [14:05] ducasse: Looked many times, don't think I saw anything like that. How to confirm that this is what happens? [14:05] pth: have you got any other wireless clients? [14:06] if applying a (canonical) livepatch via the canonical-livepatch serive failed (due to lack of disk space imn my case, which i have since remedied), how can you trigger a retry? [14:06] if applying a (canonical) livepatch failed (due to lack of disk space imn my case, which i have since remedied), how can you trigger a retry? [14:06] (ignore the first verison ;) ) === sal is now known as Guest27467 [14:07] ducasse: Yes I have iPads and iPhones [14:07] ducasse: And another ubuntu, but it is offline now [14:08] pth: try installing an ssh client and ssh'ing to the machine connected via wifi. if i'm right it should fail. [14:10] ducasse: I had a lot of problems doing this before I entered host names and IP adresses on each machines /etc/hosts file, so I know it is not working [14:11] ducasse: but since I did this, all my machines can ping and ssh each other. Only the printer via wlan0 not [14:11] pth: you could just call your isp's support and ask them, but i'm pretty sure this is the explanation. [14:12] ducasse: Been there, done that. But you know how it is with ISPs, it's never their fault [14:13] pth: no, but they can tell you how their routers are configured. [14:14] ducasse: You must have a good ISP, that is not my experience... :-) Just looked at the CLI manual of the router. It does have AP Isolation feature. [14:14] tomreyn, already tried man canonical-livepatch? [14:14] pth: can it be disabled? [14:14] Hello. How can I create a second user that can be only logged in via terminal? [14:15] ducasse: Checking the web manual now. Stand by. [14:15] k1l manjaro or arch migrate lame [14:15] Nitrogen: sudo adduser [14:15] ducasse: Web manual has no mention of isolation. [14:16] pth: the people in ##networking might know about that router. [14:16] EriC^^: Thanks. How can I log in with him? [14:17] kaji e lame manjaro or archlinux k1l :) [14:17] Nitrogen: sudo login [14:18] hi [14:18] I'm installed ubuntu gnome and was using that for a while but then I switched to i3. I really like i3 and I want to get rid of gnome, but I can't figure out how to do that [14:18] how do I determine the version of the package? [14:18] Of a sotware? [14:18] s/sotware/software [14:18] refill: apt policy packagename [14:18] refill: apt-cache policy [14:18] I want to completely uninstall gnome but keep gdm [14:18] which is the relevant one, it's two commands [14:19] refill: same thing [14:19] EriC^^: Can I open GTK applications with it? [14:19] both work refill [14:21] Nitrogen: yeah, run "xhost +local:" in your gui [14:21] then DISPLAY=:0 in the other [14:21] Nitrogen: all local stuff will be allowed to use your xserver [14:22] k1l manjaro is good idea [14:22] :) [14:22] lame [14:23] EriC^^: Seems good! Thank you =) [14:23] ducasse: Good idea. Thank you very much for your help. [14:24] Nitrogen: no problem :) [14:24] How do I uninstall gnome so that the only wm is i3wm? [14:24] pth: no problem, good luck! [14:24] k1l tel me manjaro or archlinux smeshka ||||:) [14:25] siete: sudo apt-get remove --autoremove ubuntu-gnome-desktop gnome-shell [14:26] that's going to remove gdm too right? [14:26] siete: i dont think so [14:26] k1l: i applaud your persistence :) [14:27] ducasse, it's probably automatic [14:27] ok, rebooting brb === kev is now known as Guest26316 [14:28] EriC^^: I don't hear any audio. How can I fix that? [14:29] Nitrogen: no idea, sorry [14:30] k1l trateng me lame ahahahah crazy lame [14:30] Hi, what do you use as an email client? I find Thunderbird rather buggy and CPU heavy, are there any alternatives? I'd need GPG signing/encryption as well. [14:31] what is fstab equivalent of mount -t cifs -o username=,password= /// /media/pc/ ? [14:32] kostkon: It's not. :) [14:33] krytarik, I'm impressed then :) [14:33] Yes! [14:33] Hello [14:33] Can someone reply too this, im demonstrating irc :-) [14:34] Heya [14:34] thanks! [14:36] Hello [14:36] k1l how time to del my nick lame [14:36] Just testing irc [14:36] :) [14:40] :)~ k1l [14:41] how do you include spaces in password in fstab (mounting network share)? [14:42] hi [14:42] marvin2: Did you try with a `\` before the space? [14:43] can i ask, what is new in ubuntu 16.10? [14:43] hfp no, I tried space, space with quotes and \040. I'll try with \ [14:43] ubuntuer, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YakketyYak/ReleaseNotes#New_features_in_16.10 [14:44] oh ok [14:44] though in ubuntu 16.10, i get errors about compiz. what is this? [14:45] i'm trying to compile mongodb from source on ubuntu 16.04 (b/c I need to up the BSON document size limit). I'm using apt-get source to grab the source and dpkg-buildpackage to build after making necessary mods. I keep getting this error: [14:45] src/mongo/db/dur_commitjob.cpp:147:9: error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE' [14:45] BOOST_STATIC_ASSERT( sizeof(void*)==4 || UncommittedBytesLimit > BSONObjMaxInternalSize * 6 ); [14:46] google shows that other people have it and the only solution is to move to a newer version, but i'd like to use this version of mongodb (especially since it's the one that will install with 16.10) [14:46] *16.04 [14:47] can i also ask, why will ubuntu soon in 18.04 LTS come with GNOME instead? [14:47] hfp getting same errors. unc name specified twice, ignoring second. mount error(13): Permission denied. mount: mounting //192.168.1.3/E_data on /media/i7/E_data failed: Permission denied [14:47] ubuntuer: because canonical will not invest in unity anymore. [14:48] hmm, but why? [14:48] this is my fstab line, it gives me errors above. /192.168.1.3/E_data /media/i7/E_data cifs _netdev,username=,password=,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 [14:48] ubuntuer: there was a lbog post about it recently from canonical [14:48] and yet this works: mount -t cifs -o username=,password="" //192.168.1.3/E_data /media/i7/E_data [14:49] ubuntuer: the short version is they couldn't pull off the ubuntu phone, and continuing with unity leads to firther fragmentation. it's too costly to continue so they're reverting back to gnome and dropping unity. [14:49] ive also heard it is because of BUGS in unity. [14:49] marvin2: Maybe it would be easier to change the password on the server so there isn't a space at all anymore. Is that an option? [14:50] hi [14:50] please note: im chating with irc chat on kodi. [14:50] ubuntuer, anything man made has bugs [14:50] sure. [14:50] i cant see eveything on the screen so, some of these comments are unreadable. [14:50] kostkon: See 'man 7 undocumented' for help when manual pages are not available. [14:51] because im on kodi. [14:51] Toomany users. [14:51] kostkon: in response to tomreyn, already tried man canonical-livepatch? [14:51] ok got to go. ill come back when i need to as ive got my questions answered. [14:52] ubuntuer: no, its not because of bugs in unity. [14:53] ubuntuer: cf https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/ [14:53] ok now i know the truth because of ubuntu phone. [14:54] hello, anyone willing to help me with small thing? [14:54] but will unity still be on ubuntu phone? [14:54] oh yes. what is it? [14:55] oh, hey [14:55] ubuntuer: have you read the blog post? [14:55] irctc820: Don't ask to ask, ask your question and if someone knows they'll answer [14:55] I'm writing a bash script that reads line by line from text file [14:55] im going on ithe blog post now. [14:56] and I want to use id3v2 -l FILE command in this while read loop [14:56] ubuntuer: ubuntu-phone is shut down. [14:56] but in terminal it keeps saying that id3v2 command is not found, but outside the while loop everything is good [14:56] can anyone help me with that :| [14:58] hey all, i'm having a really tough time getting docker running on my ubuntu server. is there a good source on this? [14:58] irctc820: gist your code on gist.github.com [14:59] what is the link to the blog post? [14:59] anyone able ot help with compiling mongodb from source on ubuntu 16.04? [15:00] anyone with the link? [15:00] for example, it appears the docker service is running but when i attempt to launchy a container based on the ubuntu:latest repository, apt-get update in the container returns "The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file" === pavlos_ is now known as pavlos [15:00] ubuntuer: https://insights.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-and-iot-rather-than-phone-and-convergence/ [15:02] malwar3hun73r: apt-get build-dep mongodb-server && apt-get source --compile mongodb-server [15:02] + 2 x sudo [15:04] what is the quickest way to delete a large number of files? === Vilegent is now known as kk4ewt [15:05] john_doe_jr: delete the partition they're on and make a new one [15:05] (j/k) [15:05] john_doe_jr, from terminal rm -rf name* or just * if want to delete all files from a folder === alexandre9099_ is now known as alexandre9099 [15:06] john_doe_jr, or rm -rf nameoffile1 (press tab to complete name of file) name(tab)file2 etc -r means folder -f means file [15:06] tomreyn, are you saying i'm leaving that out? [15:07] lucas-arg: There is no reason to use -f, even -r is probably unnecessary. [15:07] oldschool [15:08] lucas-arg: Not using -f is common sense, not "oldschool" [15:08] lucas-arg: -f is 'force', not 'file'. [15:08] force [15:09] be the force with you [15:11] lucas-arg: that still takes a while consider this is a lot of data [15:12] john_doe_jr: is there other data in that folder?

[15:34] if I install ubuntu on a pc and then take hard drive and plug it in other pc, what will happen? both pcs have different hardware\ [15:34] the drivers will get installed [15:34] like normal [15:34] but hardware is different [15:34] will it boot? [15:35] yes in a basic environment [15:35] until all the drivers get installed [15:35] okay sounds good [15:35] RonWhoCares: that file is not from a repo package [15:35] :) [15:36] ducasse: Do you have any idea where I could find it? I've been looking ~30 minutes [15:36] ducasse, fixed it. thanks [15:36] ok got to go [15:37] RonWhoCares: it's probably from a self-compiled source tarball or third party repo of postgres [15:39] ahh! I just found the files. They are part of pgSQL's package , it installed automatically when I did: apt install postgresql [15:39] RonWhoCares: it should not be in /usr/local [15:41] k1l i mnogo sam se razvalnuval :) [15:41] lame [15:42] ducasse: I wonder if it will mess up pgSQL if I copy the 9.5 version of hcontrol to 9.4 [15:42] RonWhoCares: no clue whatsoever [15:44] tomreyn, ok, thanks! [15:46] I have this on startup: * Starting Read required files in advance [fail] [15:47] wrksx: sorry, doing several things at once here. it's possible the errors you experienced earlier corrupted some of the files on the root fs. [15:48] ducasse, that's alright =) I just rebooted an am checking the dmesg [15:49] is there a way to scan the hard drive in # with commands no xwindows [15:49] ? [15:50] ducasse, this time no issues with orphans [15:51] wrksx: no, those were already cleaned. [15:51] !commands [15:51] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [15:52] !hard drive [15:52] fail [15:52] ducasse, dmesg seems to contain logs from the boot [15:52] right? [15:52] wrksx: right [15:53] LOL it says to me " Sorry, I don't know anything about hard drive" [15:53] wrksx: what i'm saying is that the fs might be fubar [15:54] ducasse, idk, everything is fine for now [15:55] wrksx: ok, good, but i'd keep an eye on it for a little while. watch the logs, just in case. [15:55] ducasse, I'm sure it's going to reproduce [15:58] ducasse, what log is most likely to contain errors about the fs or disks? [15:58] wrksx: dmesg, kern.log and/or syslog [15:59] wrksx: primarily dmesg [15:59] but if I don't reboot will dmesg be happened === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [16:00] appended [16:00] wrksx: dmesg is a running log, you can watch it 'live' with dmesg -w [16:02] ducasse,hum it says invalid opt -- 'w' [16:03] wrksx: which ubuntu is this? [16:03] 14.04 I beleive [16:04] wrksx: ah, right, that's too old. doesn't have -w. [16:04] 14.04.5 LTS [16:04] ducasse, okay I don't mind [16:04] live logs is not so terrible to watch =) === donovan is now known as Beta_Rigel [16:05] ducasse, so until now, when you said check dmesg I was using less /var/log/dmesg [16:05] wrksx, you could also use tail if you don't want to manually scroll [16:05] wrksx: you can use tail -f on it, or run the dmesg command [16:07] ducasse, so it is possible that some log is written in /var/log/dmesg during runtime (as opposed to boot) [16:07] wrksx: i would expect so [16:09] ducasse, too bad dmesg doesn't contain dates [16:09] it's just a number of sec from the boot === sysop is now known as Guest43445 [16:10] wrksx: try 'dmesg -H' [16:11] -f looks usefull === y0sh__ is now known as y0sh [16:13] im running ubuntu16.04 with a lvm and was wondering if its possible to install another distro with maybe virtual box without rebooting === me is now known as Guest83690 [16:15] hello [16:15] ducasse, oh yeah -T did the trick [16:16] how can i start a uwsgi app seperately in ubuntu?

Optimum is entirely subjective. You can change the launcher size and experiment using the control panel [17:11] thnx for help, if i get anything i will get back [17:11] thanks have a great days guys [17:11] sohel, feel free to lurk whenever you want :) [17:12] this is definitely greatest thing about ubuntu, live support [17:13] leaftype: i want to set the launcher size to its optimum size [17:13] immu_ubuntu: leaftype just explained you optimum is subjective [17:13] immu_ubuntu: then adjust until you think it's optimal [17:14] Is 17.04 stable enough now to switch to it right now? Or should I wait these couple days till the official release? [17:14] is their some math that some one can spin lotuspsychje leaftype ducasse yeah? [17:15] immu_ubuntu: math on what? [17:15] Furai, betas are usually pretty stable, but it's always more reliable to wait for the official releases [17:15] Furai: I've been using it for a while now, and the only real bug I've run into is one where the Software app won't install things. [17:16] but then I'm not by any means a power user. [17:16] Still, it's a very nice beta. [17:16] immu_ubuntu, launcher size is "optimum" at completely different ratios for different people. You could say it depends on screen size, or resolution, but in both cases you'd be wrong. I've seen very attractive launchers that were tiny as hell, and I've seen ones that looked good that took up a huge amount of space, relative to what I like. Default is a good balance, but there is no forumula for this [17:17] immu_ubuntu: it also depends on how many icons you will use on it, or use it vertical or horizontal.. [17:18] Furai: questions about 17.04 go in #ubuntu+1 [17:18] hi! [17:18] its vertical default [17:18] ducasse: its vertical [17:19] immu_ubuntu, is there any other question we can help you with? [17:19] immu_ubuntu: please listen to what people are saying - it is _subjective_. [17:20] ducasse: yeah i read that, as i mostly set it to 32 === test is now known as Guest45818 [17:23] immu_ubuntu: i use it horizontal on 28, and its very optimal for me! [17:24] lotuspsychje: thanks but as its subjective for some, i would like to know for a particular resolution if its X then what should be the launcher size, either you know or dont know [17:24] immu_ubuntu: there is no right answer to that [17:25] immu_ubuntu: no wrong one either [17:26] ducasse: thank you all [17:43] Bashing-om: Are you around?

[17:56] I was curious why 17.04 wasn't an LTS release. They always have been in the past. [17:56] mate_: LTS release is every even year in april. 16.04 then 18.04 [17:57] ducasse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24342186/ [17:57] mate_, 2 year cycle vs 6 month cycle. 2 year cycles are LTS [17:57] Oh. I was under the impression that every .04 release was LTS. That's good to know [17:58] !releases | mate_ [17:58] mate_: Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months.

It was disabled, I'm not sure why [18:03] the_count, no good [18:03] mate_: 'apt policy package' will tell you which repo apt will get a package from [18:03] oh ok [18:04] the_count, enable it, and run sudo apt update [18:04] hi, should thesettlersonline, a flash web game, work on ubuntu? === adrian is now known as Guest93911 [18:04] t00tie: yes [18:04] ioriai: I am doing the ppa-purge for kubuntu packages first, I can't stop that [18:04] t00tie, as long as flash is installed, it should work anywhere [18:04] the_count, ok [18:05] cool, thanks [18:08] hi [18:10] Running Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS.

' [18:17] Uh, it turned green? I feel really dumb right now. [18:18] Oh. Sorry. [18:18] Should have gotten an "x" flag now, though.

[18:23] Odd_: If you keep your system up to date and use the official packages for the servics you want to expose, you should be pretty save. [18:23] !ppa | etronik [18:23] etronik: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [18:23] the_count, considering it's public and I am not at all proficient within Ubuntu, I'd wager against that. [18:23] etronik, not supported in xenial [18:23] etronik, the laste was Quantal [18:23] Odd_: You could add some security, if you change the default port for some services..., like ssh or own/next- cloud for example. [18:24] ioria, not supported at all ? [18:24] etronik, nope, not that [18:25] Odd_: I would say that the chances are no one will do anything to your server, if they really wanted to, they could probably find lots of ways to do it. [18:25] ioria, how did you see that so fast ? :-) I'm looking at the page and see no obvious indications... [18:25] etronik, click on Technical details about this PPA [18:26] gvvg, nuking and paving will nullify vast majority of bugs if it's possible. The problem I suspect is that an operation AFTER that one screwed up, or hit a bad sector, who who knows what else. You could retry the upgrade, but you risk something being broken [18:26] etronik, the 'Choose ubuntu verion' [18:26] ah latest is 12.10 [18:26] right [18:26] but... does it mean it would work on 16 ? [18:26] but... does it mean it would'n work on 16 ? [18:26] right [18:26] hmm [18:27] the_count Id believe so too but one never inows. SSH ports and the likes are also changed.Nothing runs default ports. [18:27] Hi!

Really, when you should worry about it is when there will be a lot of users, with increased chances of someone finding it and having bad interests [18:30] hi, I have a little problem in ubuntu 16.04, the ethernert card is being dissabled after that I update the system [18:31] I'm going through all start-up programs seeing what I can disable to help save resources. It appears that Tilda isn't needed. Can it be safely disabled?

[18:32] I'Ve tried doing this: echo “blacklist r8169″ >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf [18:32] wizard_, why ? [18:33] wizard_: if you blacklist the module it will definitely be disabled [18:34] but i tray to disable the updtate, it works fine with the old module [18:34] When I update the system, i hav not internet coection by calbe, only by wifi [18:35] cable, sorry [18:35] wizard_: have you tried booting into the previous kernel? [18:35] yes, but the new module is recharged [18:36] I know how to solve the problem, but my family is so new in the linux world [18:37] ioria, sorry? black list !? didn't understand [18:37] ioria: I think I've got the problem fixed. Gnome is installing fine now [18:37] etronik, my bad, sy [18:37] dp ypu have some sugestion? [18:37] the_count, good job [18:38] ioria: Thanks for you're help... I'm going to have to remember the ppa-purge tool. Thanks again! [18:38] the_count, no problem [18:39] leaftype: I guess you are right it must be the next operation - I don't know how to find what it is failing on - I'll look at the logs and keep researching -thanks [18:41] gvvg, sorry I couldn't be more help. More xp needed [18:41] leaftype: no problem - what other information would you like? [18:43] gvvg, all the proper information/certs needed to get a proper job :). Though that's not relevant here [18:43] Hi [18:44] I think I once read somewhere that there's a service that lets you build deb files from a git url. Is that true? And where is it? =) [18:44] leaftype: thanks - I'll keep researching and come back if I need assistance - thanks [18:44] hey [18:44] Champika ? [18:44] I asked a question about Chromium freezes when restoring session, I have 120 GB SSD and it's almost empty. So that's not because of disk. [18:45] Zta, they might be talking about the Opensuse build service [18:48] Eightynine, how long does it freeze, and how many tabs do you have open? [18:49] Eightynine, also, do you have pinned tabs?

Somehow my network manager icon disappeared, has anyone seen this before? === Guest93332 is now known as IdleOne [20:22] @Some_Person : flash installs but "hbonow uses an older version which ubuntu doesn' t support" is the issue. [20:23] I doubt it uses an older version [20:23] flash has been dead on linux for 6+ years [20:23] so the version hasn't changed [20:24] ikonia: That's no longer true. Adobe resurrected it [20:24] it's still dead [20:24] they are just changing the wrapper interface [20:24] the flash component is dead === shadow_ is now known as Guest29407 [20:24] @ikonia: wierd. the issue is similar to the one in the articles and it's just insane. flash works on other websites though. [20:25] ikonia: Wrapper interface? [20:25] Some_Person: the call to the flash component, rather than flash itself [20:25] it's security fixes mainly/only I think [20:25] ikonia: It identifies as version 25 [20:26] Some_Person: yeah, thats debatable [20:27] if one wants java or flash in firefox, one needs FF 52 ESR [20:27] So you're saying that Flash 25 on Linux is really still Flash 11? That doesn't make sense to me [20:27] I've just read a post on omgubuntu that suggests it's fully back in development again...then after the attention grabbing headling it's the npapi component only [20:27] anyone reason y u're still on flash? [20:27] ikonia: Isn't the whole thing just an npapi plugin? [20:27] flash is dead, adobe reports significant drop of flashmalware :-D [20:27] headling meant headline [20:27] Some_Person: where are libraries too [20:28] flash needs to die already [20:28] when i ever use sudo apt-get install theres this line that pops up...is it safe to go in and delete that entry> [20:29] ikonia: As far as I can tell, the whole thing's just one .so file [20:29] N: Ignoring file '50unattended-upgrades.ucf-old' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension [20:29] rand380: flash is almost dead but sites like hbonow still use it *screams in html5* [20:29] shouldn't dd exit with error status if read fails due to bad sector? [20:29] Some_Person: I guess it depends on your perspective, but I do agree they are doing more than they where, even before they dropped it [20:29] xerces8: no [20:30] ikonia: so how can I detect in a script that the read failed? [20:30] xerces8: you can't, it's a block level copy, it doesn't care, it copies exactly what is available on the harddisk, warts and all [20:30] thats the whole point of dd [20:31] xerces8 is this useful http://www.shellcheck.net/ [20:32] What's ESR? if one wants java or flash in firefox, one needs FF 52 ESR. [20:32] but it doesn't. I do a bs=10M count=1 but it reads only 921600 bytes [20:32] kolijug23: extended support release. [20:32] xerces8: what is the exact command you are running [20:32] dd bs=10M count=1 if=/dev/sdd of=foo skip=43432 [20:33] xerces8: then post ls -lah on the out file [20:33] if I use bs=1024 and read the bad sector, dd exits with error [20:33] xerces8: what error does it exit with [20:33] ikonia: it is 921600 bytes (the out file) [20:34] xerces8: I asked for ls -lah on the output [20:34] jamesleimer: remove the file and the warning goes away [20:34] ionia: dd: error reading '/dev/sdd': Input/output error [20:34] xerces8: not what I'd expect for a bad sector, [20:34] I'd expect it to just skip it or warn, not error and quit [20:34] connect mozilla.org [20:34] ikonia: what would you expect for a bad sector expect an I/O error? [20:35] except [20:35] xerces8: "cannot read" type warning and move along [20:35] I guess we have a different look at it. IMO it should do what requested or report an error. [20:35] I'm surprised it errors [20:35] dd doesn't care about broken sectors [20:35] ikonia: isn't that how dd_rescue works? [20:35] it just copies them [20:35] xerces8: is it a usb pen drive by any chance ? or a proper hard disk [20:35] ppf: yeah, that was my expectation too [20:36] HDD [20:37] xerces8: does conv=noerror help? [20:38] rand380: noerror is according to man page "continue after read errors" which is the opposite of what I expect and want. [20:39] Here is says "Default behavior for dd is to halt at any error." source: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_cloning [20:39] what do you expect and want [20:39] ppf: to read the data I specify or stop with an error if it can't do that [20:39] isn't that what it does? as per what you said above? [20:40] ppf: no. In case of reading bs=1024 it reports an error, in case of 10M it does not report an error. I expect consistency. [20:41] I see references to running nm-applet (or dbus-launch nm-applet), does anyone know why this is necessary after update for the network manager icon to show in 16.04? [20:41] in both cases it stops at error, but in one case the error is reported, in the other it is not reportd [20:41] sflmlt: if the applet has crashed you need to restart it [20:42] Hi - I am having prblems witha hybred graphics card. Tried lubuntu 16.04.02, ubuntu 16.04 and now 16.10. None will install unless I have nomodeset flagged. with nomodeset falgged they run fine from live USB but not when I boot. Gaphics don;t owrk - with 16.10 I get a "The system is running in low graphics mode' error and am unable to get any futher. Strted in recovered mode and that seems fine. Any thoughts or how I can fix the problem [20:43] I'm a bit off a newbie but don't I missed anything obvious. I have been in here before but still not managed to resolve the issue. [20:43] Hi [20:43] Ubuntu 16 doesn't recognize my phone [20:43] connected through USB [20:44] Jordan_U: I've tried 16.10 - still no luck [20:45] even if I could just run automatically in low graphics mode that would do the trick for now. === Kow_ is now known as Kow [20:46] Is there any way to add a button to nautilus to toggle between the location bar and the breadcrumb buttons? [20:46] It's kind of annoying to have to switch to the keyboard and use Ctrl-L and Escape (not even the same keys!) [20:46] Or, at the very least, can I add an "Up" button and just set it to default to the location bar? [20:46] @ducasse Thanks for the reply. What I mean is this broke after an update, it won't launch either way. While it's not a show stopper per se it's useful to have that icon in the status area. Also, I'm not sure why dbus-launch vs straight nm-applet [20:47] atf_, boot untill that message, ctrl alt f2: login, then run: sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall # after this reboot. [20:47] I have a tiny flash drive half full. Windows, Ubuntu sees no files. Strange but IDCare. -- I use game and the directions to format it online are for unity. How should I proceed? Kubuntu 14.04 [20:48] OerHeks: can i ran than from the recovery mode I'm in now - or do I need to reboot? [20:48] Correction- I use gnome [20:48] atf_, you can do this from recovery, if the system is mounted RW [20:49] i would do this from normal boot .. [20:50] tripleb, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdX will tell you the filesystem in that drive. If you dont care of the contents, you can use dd to write to that device [20:50] OerHeks: Thanks. Tried it. I get "0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 276 not to upgrade." [20:51] is it worth trying from reboot? [20:51] atf_, 276 not upgraded .. run sudo apt get update && sudo apt get full-upgrade [20:52] tripleb, if fdisk or parted give exfat, you need 2 packages > sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils # and reconnect the usb after this again [20:53] pavlos: hmm. I usually use the de but let me check on the co tents. (I have put all my flash drives in some mysterious place, except one from scale15x and it didn't get recognized. Then I came across this 126Mbyte drive.

Perhaps you selected the wrong device. pavlos [21:04] Funny [21:06] tripleb, the stick is probably sdb or sdc depending how my you have on your system (lsblk will show you all disks with their partitions [21:06] *my = how many disks [21:07] pavlos: OerHeks now I want to format this flash drive normally not use dd to write to it.

[21:27] no [21:27] you are asked to seek help in a kindle room, it is not ubuntu [21:27] lmao [21:29] kindle doesn't read epub, convert it to mobi with calibre [21:37] OerHeks: rebooted - still no luck. Is there anyway to stop ubuntu using a grpahics driver - it seems to start OK if I hit shift duringstartup then just click resume [21:43] ATF2: What king of hybrid system is that Intel/AMD or Intel/Nvidia? [21:44] ATF2: have you tried using nonveau? [21:44] ATF2: nouveau* [21:45] dunno - it's a Dell! How can I find out? [21:46] and no - what is nonveau? [21:47] ATF2: 'lspci' in a terminal. There you should find all information about your cards. You could also try 'glxinfo | grep vendor' to see what card you are using right now [21:47] AFT2: are you on amd or nvidia? === ubuntu is now known as Guest85471 === madsa is now known as Guest68448 [21:52] minimec: , rand380: I can't see either - here's the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/24343477/ [21:54] VMware, Inc. [21:56] OerHeks: VMware, Inc - is that AMD/nvida or something else! [21:56] ATF2: you're in a VM? T_T [21:56] tomreyn: Hi i don't know if you remember but you were helping me with my printer yesterday [21:57] tomreyn: from the pastebin stuff it looks like the old computer is using foomatic drivers [21:57] I'm new to all this so slightly lost! [22:00] rand380: looks like - not my laptop agreed to install ubuntu for a freind cos windows didn;t work - wish I had never started! (I jut run lubuntu on an old laptop - no problems) [22:00] anything I can do? [22:00] VMware is one type ov virtual machine.... like virtualbox [22:01] ATF2_: Ok. It seems that you only have one GPU, a intergrated Intel... Can you check something for me? 'apt list xserver-xorg-video-intel' Is it installed? [22:02] OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. (same company different software package) [22:04] hi. i have a network printer that isnt' connecting to a fresh install of ubuntu-gnome 16.10 but is connected to a ubuntu-gnome 10.04. here is a pastebin of the printer config of the one that is working: https://pastebin.com/QprKipgK and here is the one that is not working: https://pastebin.com/M15kpCXe [22:04] any suggestions? [22:06] can i just copy the one printer config file into the other? or is that a bad idea? [22:07] xserver-xorg-video-intel/yakkety,now 2:2.99.917+git20160706-1ubuntu1 amd64 [installed,automatic [22:09] <_djm_> Hey [22:11] ATF2_: Ok. Can you give us the output of 'lshw' on paste.ubuntu.com? === rand380 is now known as obama === obama is now known as hei === hei is now known as abc === abc is now known as rand380 [22:12] minimec: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24343742/ [22:15] ATF2_: Hmmm... '*-display UNCLAIMED' Atom/Celeron/Pentium Processor x5-E8000/J3xxx/N3xxx Integrated Graphics Controller [22:17] ATF2_: If I get this right, you are not running on the GPU, but on the simple framebuffer. But others may correct me on that. Did you change something before, like 'blacklist' some drivers? [22:18] I installed with nomodeset as otherwise it failed to install [22:18] minimec: I installed with nomodeset as otherwise it failed to install [22:19] minimec: at present I'm running in recoverymode I think (I hit shift on boot and selected recover then selected resume [22:21] hey guys, is there a way to have multiple StartupWMClass fields in a .desktop file [22:21] how to change the boot order via command line .. in ubuntu 16.04 .. actually I don't know entry number of windows I'm trying to access a remote machine . [22:21] if not, is it possible to tell wine to launch an exe w/ a specific WM Class [22:22] minimec: if I start normally I get the "system is running in low graohics mode" and it won't get passed that (when I had lubuntu installed it starts but the screen in full or weird symbols - but again I can start in in recovery mode) [22:23] ATF2_: There is a post on the fedora forum that could be interesting for you... http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?p=1768303&postcount=2 [22:24] ATF2_: Whole thread... http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1768319 [22:26] minimec: tried that - i did that yesterday. Jordan_U suggested it - no joy. 16.10 was suggested so I tried that today.. [22:27] ATF2_: Ok. I don't understand why the card shows as 'UNCLAIMED' in lshw. That is strange. So I guessed it is not well configured. But if you already tried that... Hmmm... I am out of ideas... [22:29] i like to configure my polybar but i can't display cpu temp and fontawesome icons =( [22:29] minimec: OK. thanks for giving it a shot. Unless anyone else has any ieas i might a) chuck the laptop out the window, claim it on the insurance and pursuade my friend to buy a new laptop b) post on ask ubuntu ;-) [22:33] Guy1524: First use 'xprop' to see the current window class for the program. If it has its 'own' window class, change the launcher accordingly. [22:35] minimec: the file mentioned in the fedora forum doesn't exist [22:35] ATF2_: It is strange, as the card seems to be supported. I found an arch howto and this fedroa post... [22:35] ATF2_: Oh... So create it with the given content. [22:36] minimec: that's what I tried yesterday - although not tried it on 16.10 so will give it a shot [22:37] Do i have to download drivers from Samsung to get my printer to work? [22:38] ATF2_: Try to boot normally afterwards... [22:41] bradley: What steps have you completed so far in trying to get your printer to work? [22:41] bradley: If they exist, it might not be a bad thing. On the other hand, if you didn't need additional drivers on the previous ubuntu installation, you shouldn't need one now... [22:44] YankDownUnder: i've tried comparing their config files, which actually look similiar up to the point where one computer connects and the other doesn't. i thought i needed to download the foomatic driver but it looks like it is there. i manually chose the same driver as what was working on the other computer. [22:44] minimec: sadly still no joy [22:45] YankDownUnder: then i attempt to print test pages or pages from an app (which brings up a print dialogue and it says it can't find the printer [22:45] bradley: So this works on one workstation - but on a similar workstation, doesn't? [22:45] atf_: Ok. What is your 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT' line in '/etc/default/grub'? [22:46] bradley: On the machine that it doesn't work with, have you deleted the printer and tried to add it again? (also might want to restart CUPS just to make sure) [22:47] YankDownUnder: okay, i will look into restarting cups. I've added and removed the printer a bunch of times hoping it would just take hold [22:48] bradley: in some instances, cups will crap out - and you merely need to restart the daemon [22:48] YankDownUnder: yeah -- one is our "home desktop" which is running 16.04 and the other is a notebook running a fresh install of 16.10 [22:48] bradley: Shouldn't matter, really, bro. [22:48] minimec: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset" [22:48] hey [22:49] YankDownUnder: im not seeing CUPS in the system monitor [22:49] bradley: The "home desktop" - is that where the printer lives? [22:49] YankDownUnder: the printer lives in a closet connected to the router [22:50] bradley: Right. So you connect via IP...yes? [22:50] YankDownUnder: yeah, both do. the printer is connected to the router with a cable but the computers connect wirelessly [22:51] ATF2: Ok. Change the line to 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"' with nano 'sudo nano /etc/default/grub' (x to save). Then do 'sudo update-grub'. Give it a try and reboot again... [22:51] bradley: Roger that. Right oh, so, you're on the laptop - with 16.10 freshly installed. You've even rebooted the laptop and tried to re-add the printer, yes? [22:52] YankDownUnder: yes [22:52] bradley: Ok...so, have you DELETED the printer - and then tried to add the printer again? Or have you just been "re-adding" the printer without deleting it? [22:52] let me try one more time (brb) [22:53] YankDownUnder: i usually (9 out of 10 times) remove and add again [22:53] minimec: should i remove the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line? [22:53] once i tried setting it up a second time just to see [22:53] ATF2: No.$ [22:54] YankDownUnder: if i want to try reloading CUPS how would i go about doing it? [22:55] bradley: Yeah - that could be relatively annoying...right...can you please open a terminal and type: sudo service cups restart [22:55] cups should be installed [22:55] bradley: sudo systemctl restart cups.service [22:56] bradley: If what I sent doesn't work, try what Uno3201 just stated => sudo systemctl restart cups.service => see where this gets things, eh? [22:57] find > networkprinter > enter ip adress > it will show available printers ... [22:58] Sup [23:00] YankDownUnder: tried the first thing CUPS restarted and the test page is still processing (i can't seem to stop it but it is a pretty good indicator, i guess) and tried to print something from gedit and it says "unable to locate" (same as before) i will try the second thing [23:01] bradley what is the topic? [23:01] bradley: If it's printing the test page, then you've gotten most of the way there, eh. [23:01] opiate: Adding a printer for bradley [23:01] What the shit are you guys talking about [23:01] oh alright [23:01] bradley: what is the model btw [23:02] opiate: setting up a troublesome samsung network printer [23:02] * YankDownUnder dislikes Samsung printers (home printers, not biz printers) [23:02] !ontopic | opiate [23:02] opiate: #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! [23:02] YankDownUnder: it doesn't actually print the test page it is just continually "processing" [23:02] minimec: still no joy [23:02] bradley: The PRINTER? Or the workstation? [23:03] Uno3201: samsung clp-320 [23:04] ATF__: But would it boot to the buggy x screen directly now, if you boot normally. I should... Did you do the 'sudo update-grub'? [23:04] YankDownUnder: good call, the workstation in the printer settings dialogue, even after i get a warning (from the workstation) saying it can't connect with the printer === opiate is now known as Bacalhas === Bacalhas is now known as opiate [23:05] . [23:05] minimec: i still got the 'the system is running in low grahics mode' error [23:05] minimec: yup ran update-grub [23:06] YankDownUnder: ran the second command (sudo systemctl restart cups.service) but nothing [23:08] bradley: It's 09:04am for me - have to get a move on...what I'd end up doing is removing the printer (yes, again) - and then after that, restarting CUPS (sudo service cups restart) - then going through to add the printer again - AFTER cups has restarted. The system (this laptop) recognises that there is a "job" in the queue - which is a good thing - but it's not getting where it has to go - which is obviously the printer... === y0sh is now known as Guest79439 === y0sh__ is now known as y0sh [23:08] ATF__: Ok. I am really out of ideas, but... there seems to be an intel help channel for the open source driver. --> #intel-gfx I would explain my problem there, inidicating the exact hardware you have ('lspci'), the fact that it reports 'UNCLAIMED' in 'lshw', and pasting the '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf' you created. You may also mention that you added 'nomodeset' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. [23:09] YankDownUnder: okay, i will give that a try, thanks for the help! have a good day [23:09] minimec: wouldn't the file need to be /etc/X11/xorg.conf to work on ubuntu [23:10] ATF__: That's what I would do now. Maybe I would indeed open my window, just in case you get erally mad on that machine... ;) [23:10] what does xorg have to do with printer setting [23:10] minimec: many thanks - I'll sleep on it! [23:11] ATF__: No prolbem. Sorry that I couldn't help. Really strange with a Intel GPU. [23:14] jje: Indeed you would place a whole config in /etc/X11. But if you have just some minor adjustment recommanded location is xorg.conf.d [23:14] maybe it is a bios setting, in the UEFI manual ( you have such new hardware) there is a mention about fastboot and intel SRT [23:14] minimec: ok i see [23:14] ATF__: jje But somehow your are right... there is no txorg.conf.d in ubuntu... [23:14] bradley: did you install your printer drivers? [23:15] ATF__: Still available? [23:15] In your firmware, disable QuickBoot/FastBoot and Intel Smart Response Technology (SRT)" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Installing_Ubuntu_for_Single_Boot_with_a_Random_Boot_Mode [23:15] Maybe jje is right. Create a xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 and paste the content of the fedora post there... [23:15] Uno3201: no i was just using the preinstalled (foomatic) drivers [23:16] what is the fastest way to edit remote linux filesystem [23:17] security is irrelevant as both PC's in the same DMZ network [23:17] YankDownUnder: it worked! [23:17] jje: It's the same as in /etc/apt. So you have the sources.list there, but additional repos (ppas) go to sources.list.d [23:17] dedondesta, unmount before editting :-D [23:17] bradley: Peace, bro. I'm gone. Have a great day. [23:17] minimec: got it [23:18] Uno3201, YankDownUnder: the test page went through, it is working! Thanks for all your help and suggestions! [23:18] Hi. I am having an issue getting opengl to work properly. glxinfo gives this output: X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) [23:18] i mean, should i use NFS, Samba, SSHFS, what is the fastest way? [23:18] is ther faster than what i listed [23:18] ? [23:20] is there some sort of tool that can rewrite /etc/crypttab for me? [23:21] (if I unlock all the necessary partitions and then point it to which one is /, /home etc) [23:21] with a chroot where all partitions are properly mounted and /dev, /sys, /proc are available [23:22] I tried to do it myself but so far I failed [23:24] why does ubuntu allow `sudo apt` by default? [23:24] ? Why wouldn't it? [23:24] In configurations, I'm trying to change something in Monitors, because now I have two. But when I apply my changes, it says "gdbus.error.org.freedesktop.dbus.error.serviceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Settings.Daemon was not provided by any .services files", I'm running Openbox, if I run Gnome I can apply, but in Openbox I get this error :( [23:25] wedgie: because it'd be trivial to create a package and escalate privileges [23:26] luxio: if you have the authority to run sudo you already have all the privileges you could ever want... [23:26] yeah isn't that dangerous [23:27] if you don't want a user to have sudo access don't give them sudo access [23:27] if an attacker gets access to a non-root user they practically have root access [23:27] only if that non-root user is a sudoer [23:27] users in the sudo group are not "non-root users" under any sane definition of the term [23:27] anyone? [23:27] and they need more than just access, they need the password too [23:28] I can go back to fedora since there the installer can actually set up /etc/crypttab for existing partitions.... is there no similar tool for ubuntu? [23:28] luxio: i mean, i get what you're saying, but when you're only creating 1 user to start with, that user had better have the ability to create others and configure the system [23:28] wedgie: i mean they do, right? [23:28] they can just do "su -" [23:28] For my problem, ""gdbus.error.org.freedesktop.dbus.error.serviceUnknown: The name org.gnome.Settings.Daemon was not provided by any .services files", I think I need to run gnome-settings-daemon, how do I do that? [23:29] luxio: ubuntu doesn't configure the root user by default [23:29] i don't see why a user needs access to execute commands as root be default [23:29] wedgie: what why [23:29] s/be/by [23:29] luxio: design decision that was made long ago. I'm sure they had their reasons. Seems as reasonable as *only* configuring root to start with like some distros do. [23:30] only makes it less tempting to run *everything* as root because you didn't bother to create a non-root user [23:30] MrJones, i think you want cryptsetup ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/63594/mount-encrypted-volumes-from-command-line [23:32] full chroot http://askubuntu.com/a/653460 [23:32] Hi, anyone know if theres a way to run an alias when spawning xterm? [23:32] like xterm -e "alias;bash" [23:32] can't seem to find it [23:33] How do I run gnome-settings-daemon, it doesnt run anything by typing just that in command line [23:33] frazr: can put it in your .bashrc maybe. [23:33] i've put the alias inside .bashrc ofc [23:34] and i dont want to run it each time i open xterm, only when told so [23:34] OerHeks: I have absolutely no trouble mounting them, or creating the chroot [23:34] (i'm building a menu which fires xterm -e "aliastorun;bash") [23:34] how do you stop a ffmpeg running command without corrupting the output file ? [23:35] OerHeks: I just don't manage to make a /etc/crypttab that actually works [23:36] MrJones, not sure how to write that; maybe you want to reask in #ubuntu-server too [23:36] OerHeks: what I asked is whether there is a tool that writes it for me [23:36] because I know the fedora installer does that [23:36] the ubuntu one doesn't [23:36] (not if you want to reuse existing partitions) [23:37] at this point the easiest choice seems to be to install fedora on top, copy the /etc/crypttab out then install ubuntu again >.> === jq is now known as MrShapatank === MrShapatank is now known as jq === lethu_ is now known as lethu [23:43] xjkx: What window manager are you running? [23:44] minimec: Openbox [23:44] xjkx: I use enlightenment and start a gnome-session at login. Give me a second... [23:44] Maybe if I run gnome-session then? [23:45] But I dont want all those buttons of gnome [23:47] I really dislike gnome, but if gnome-session is just like a background software, I could run it === linuxmod_Bitcamp is now known as linuxmodder [23:48] xjkx: You can either just start 'gnome-settings-daemon &' in your openbox startup file or start a gnome-session with a costum session file. I run a custom e17.session with 'gnome-session --session=e17 &' with the following content... http://paste.ubuntu.com/24344314/ [23:48] how can i get back the copy files dialog that is running ? [23:49] it's not in the app switcher [23:50] i can see a small progressbar drawn on top of the Files cabinet in the sidebar [23:50] xjkx: I have to add that I also have 'gnome-flashback' installed... [23:50] I have an SSD drive with a Windows 10 partition and 1 (or more) Ubuntu partitions. Generally how many partitions are there for an ubuntu install; 2 (/ and /home ?) also, how do you see which partitions are really used [23:50] but if i click on it, it merely opens up my Home Folder [23:51] xjkx: You find your session files in '/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions' [23:52] if i right-click on it and choose the option "Show Copy Dialog", it doesn't do anything [23:53] I am asking the above because while I am running Windows 10 I would like to be able to run a VM Ubuntu which points to my physical partition. I just attempted to do this by setting up a 'raw virtual disk' which pointed to my root Ubuntu partition. However, when I ran the VM, once it got to the login screen it crapped out [23:53] It showed GRUB which means it was definitely using my raw partition [23:53] minimec: do I have to do it on startup file, or can I just run commands now? [23:54] xjkx: Running the command should do for a test... [23:55] renlo: /home, / should do. Add in swap if you want [23:55] hello :) [23:56] so, assuming I am attempting to run this in VBox, I would probably want to have my virtual disk use each of those partitions [23:56] correct? [23:56] even swap too, right? I didnt mount swap which is probably why it crapped out [23:56] minimec: alright, thanks [23:57] I literally cannot install ubuntu because the installer is too awful to allow reusing existing luks/lvm partitions, and unlocking them previously and installing directly to the crypt mappers means I need to write a /etc/crypttab that works manually or have it generated through other means [23:57] xjkx: No problem. Put the command in the autostart file, if you want it @ login '~/.config/openbox/autostart' --> http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Autostart [23:58] with which I failed so far... any tools that could potentially help me? [23:58] Ok :) [23:58] MrJones, then use a distro with an installer that isnt "too awful" [23:59] PipeItToDevNull: are there any plans to fix this flaw though? this has been missing from the ubuntu installer for a really long time [23:59] (while the fedora installer has had it since ~Fedora 18) [23:59] renlo: unlikely, swap, you can do without
