I disabled lock on idle, and login on suspend. now when I suspend VM and then resume it 800x600 resolution is used (despite saying 1920x1200 in displays).

I already told you that the power didnt went down and nothing strange happened. It just restarted for no reason... [01:24] user__: you realize the difference between you computer suddenly showing the bios screen and your operating system shutting down and rebooting right? [01:25] My Seagate ext HD is automatically mounted on Ubuntu Mate 17.04, why isn't on Ubuntu 12.04?

[02:54] FlightGear 2017.1.3 — Released April 4, 2017 [02:54] ballpen: Gnome3 across the board. [02:56] oh man why lol unity is what makes ubuntu look like ubuntu now lol [02:56] and gnome3! yuk [02:59] ballpen: Gnome and KDE have held "top spots" for ages...Unity has tried to break into the "top spots", but has never really made it. A vast majority of users (seasoned) end up using Gnome or KDE or XFce or LxDE or WindowMaker (or something else)...so it's not necessarily holding it's "place". "Branding" is important, yes, but it's just not really worked out that well. Gnome3 has "busted a move" and it's easier to get customised. [02:59] Does that make sense? [03:00] YankDownUnder: yeah I understand but they should never give up on unity :) [03:01] are they going to continue the developement though? [03:01] ballpen: Get the source code and make your own "fork" of it, eh? Just like with all the other "Big Boys" - Gnome's got forks, KDE's got forks... [03:02] Maybe someday, "Unity" will be the "Trinity" of the GTK world, yay! ;) [03:03] YankDownUnder: that sounds reasonable lol [03:03] ballpen: Imagine how much money/time/effort Canonical can save merely by swapping out to Gnome3...they can spend more time/money/effort on other things...eh? Yeah... [03:05] YankDownUnder: other things such as? [03:05] ballpen: R&D into new markets...concentrate more on corporate support...etc etc etc... [03:06] (Bigger salaries for the top dogs...) [03:06] gimp by default can't open raw file from a camera released in 2014. did I forget to install some additional packages or? [03:07] martin3: There does exist that possibility, hmm...

[03:14] YankDownUnder I just installed ufraw but I still can't open them [03:15] martin3: Then try: sudo apt-get install gimp-dcraw [03:15] martin3: Those are the two "external" plug-ins for dealing with RAW image formats for GIMP... [03:16] i just restarted and it worked [03:17] not sure which plugin did it (I installed both), but i can open them now [03:17] martin3: Good thing you're buying the donuts today.

[03:47] which one? [03:47] grep -ri 'https//://' /etc/apt [03:48] hmm, do an ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d [03:48] do you see an opera.list or equivalent file in there? [03:49] opera-stable.list [03:49] opera-stable.list.save [03:50] try cat /etc/apt/sources/list.d/opera-stable.list | pastebinit [03:50] and share the link [03:51] sorry had a typo, it's: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list | pastebinit [03:52] p_h, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24352477/ [03:53] found that sucker [03:53] p_h, what? [03:53] there's a typo on line 4, should be https:// not https//: [03:53] what should I do now? [03:55] p_h, I need to edit those two files, I guess. [03:55] yeah [03:55] p_h, how? [03:55] you could run this also: sed -i 's/https\/\/:/https:\/\//g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list [03:55] then try the update command again [03:56] to edit a file you can use: nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/opera-stable.list [03:56] for future ref [03:57] p_h: or vi :D [03:57] yeah i use vim personally :) [03:57] i figured would be too advance [04:00] guys, thanks a lot. I am not getting that error message now. [04:01] great, anytime [04:01] thanks a lot.. [04:01] guys, have a great day.. [04:08] I take it I missed the Unity-dropping discussion?

[04:15] fork already happening [04:15] dirk-hardpeck: There are some of us that think that Unity died in the first week of it's existence...however, I digress... [04:16] dirk-hardpeck: Join the discussion: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2357743 . [04:18] I thought I heard rumblings of that, Ben. [04:18] What makes you say that, Yank? [04:19] I should probably warn you, 16.04 was still on the horizon when I got started with Linux. [04:19] dirk-hardpeck: "Back in the day" - Unity did NOT really receive a great "welcome" to the scene...and because Canonical "forced" it, it pushed many away to the other desktops - KDE, Gnome, Enlightenment, XFce, yadda yadda yadda... [04:20] I wish i would have stuck with nix back in the 90's. I missed a lot waiting to rejoin so late. === violet is now known as Guest67601 === Guest67601 is now known as violet [04:22] I'll stick to XFce and WindowMaker (and occassionally Enlightenment)...they're light...and extremely "cozy and familiar"...(Olvwm's code base looks sucky...can't use that anymore...) [04:22] What seems interesting to me, though, is that despite the fact that people were as upset as they were about being 'forced' into a desktop (GNOME2 to Unity), Canonical seems to be doing the same thing again in reverse. [04:23] Granted, I use MATE, so I don't exactly have a horse in the race either way. [04:23] dirk-hardpeck: Yes...and this shall be quite interesting...from an external perspective...oh yes...(better than television) [04:23] A burning world looks beautiful from space. [04:23] Or something like that. [04:24] lol [04:25] dirk-hardpeck: I like that analogy. Going to have to steal it and use it, mate. Love that...love that... [04:25] Go for it! lol [04:26] I just made it up, so that's cool with me. [04:26] I shall plagiarise with honour. [04:27] You know what else is interesting, is that the decision to switch away from it almost seems as polarizing as the decision to switch to it. === n00b_ is now known as Guest14412 [04:30] Not quite as much, I guess, but still. === JanC is now known as Guest16348 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [04:33] So Yank, how'd you get into Linux? Or is this the wrong channel for that kind of discussion? === violet is now known as Guest72249 [04:35] всем привет [04:35] есть кто по русски говорит? [04:36] dirk-hardpeck: I did unix and xenix stuff in the 80's. Linux came into my "life" when I wanted to move my BBS from OS/2 to something *NOT* MS based. Ergo, I got into linux. [04:36] У меня Google Translate. [04:37] newbee__: /join #ubuntu-ru for Russian-language support [04:37] yeap [04:37] to hell with ryzen [04:37] this is way too unstable [04:38] i have some troube with apache === Guest72249 is now known as violet [04:38] Good times, Yank! [04:38] hi all. just ran into an odd problem on 16.04.2 LTS. trying to launch an audio streamer (sudo /usr/bin/darkice). the strace output includes the following: [04:39] stat("/home/heywood", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 [04:39] getuid() [04:39] write(2, "Home directory not accessible: P"..., 49Home directory not accessible: [04:39] Permission denied [04:39] ) = 49 [04:39] what gives??? how can /home/(anything) be inaccessible via sudo? [04:41] I hate to ask a stupid question, but you're running as a user with the correct privileges, right, Heywood? [04:41] what happens when you run it without sudo? [04:43] dirk-hardpeck: hmmm, not sure. how would i check what privileges i'm running under? touch foo.txt && ls -la foo.txt ? [04:43] p_h: if you run darkice as non-root, you get the warning "Could not set POSIX real-time scheduling, this may cause recording skips. Try to run darkice as the super-user." [04:44] i see [04:45] dirk-hardpeck: default umask for my (non-root) account is 0002, if that's at all relevant. [04:45] and for root it's 0022 on this machine. [04:46] you can fix any bad permissions in your home directory by: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/ [04:46] then try running darkice again [04:46] yea [04:47] hey heywood [04:48] p_h: no joy. sudo darkice still spits out "Home directory not accessible: Permission denied" ... [04:48] Have you tried rebooting? [04:48] what if you do sudo su first, then run darkice as root [04:49] dirk-hardpeck: yes. didn't help. [04:49] p_h: sudo su, then running from the root prompt (#), does NOT produce this error. so it's definitely a permissions thing. [04:50] hmm [04:50] that chown command should have fixed the permissions [04:51] and if no config file is explicitly specified from the commandline, darkice defaults to /etc/darkice.cfg — which (1) exists, and (2) doesn't have anything in it about a home directory. [04:51] interesting [04:51] And you've tried Google, I assume? [04:52] hrm. just noticed that 16.04.2 LTS ships out of the box with darkice 1.2, but darkice.org says 1.3 is the latest. trying to compile the newer version now. === zz_MasterScript is now known as MasterScript [04:56] anyone how to monitor their system to prevent. shellshock or any attack on a public network? === root is now known as Guest31051 [05:06] greetings , does anyone know if there's an oficial ubuntu package with vim 8 ? [05:10] talus46: you can grab it via a PPA, search google for "vim 8 ppa" [05:10] anyone how to monitor their system to prevent. shellshock or any attack on a public network? [05:10] talus46: not in stable ubuntu, no. the next version (17.04, due later this month) will have it [05:10] talus46: (PPAs aren't official) [05:10] thanks :) [05:10] anyone knows how to monitor their system to prevent. shellshock or any attack on a public network? [05:10] ^ === styles_ is now known as Guest8172 [05:11] thank you dax and p_h , I'll install it from source then :) [05:11] best way [05:11] well is a production server so the important thing is to get it from a trusted source [05:12] any idea on a best network security ? [05:13] you should be fine with shellshock if you're running latest bash or a patched version [05:13] wireshark to monitor network [05:13] thanks p_h [05:14] np [05:14] or vpn is you don't want people sniffing your packets tonA [05:14] ^ [05:14] cool..i usually use htop to monitor my box. it makes me paranoid sometime . [05:15] I assume you've also heard of Tor? [05:15] yea.. [05:15] great browser dirk-hardpeck [05:16] * dax cringes [05:16] but i mean when you are on a public network .how to prevent someone remotely connecting to your box via telnet or ssh [05:16] tonA: best way is to stop those services [05:17] Well, Telnet should probably be turned off in general. [05:17] i think to rout your entire box with a vpn will be the best idea [05:17] turn off passwords for ssh, use obscure port, use pub/private keys [05:17] but if you need ssh open at least set it to use pub key auth [05:17] cool thanks === tking0036 is now known as Guest35220 [05:18] you can use the nmap tool to scan your box for open ports [05:18] anything new you will like to share [05:18] limit those [05:19] tonA: and if you are realy paranoid about security you should probably have a kali linux box just to test for vulnerabilities [05:20] and take pride that we are all vulnerable to the same zero-days ;) [05:20] :)) [05:21] dirk-hardpeck: p_h: blech. compiling darkice 1.3 isn't quite trivial — i'm missing some dependencies, and too tired to sort it out now. i'll post to darkice user forum tomorrow to see if that "permission denied" error is a known issue. for now i launched the old working version as root with nohup, so it'll still run. [05:21] thanks for the troubleshooting ideas. [05:22] right on man, np [05:22] No problem! [05:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/338382/pulseaudio-not-working-home-directory-not-accessible-permission-denied I did find this, but it's a bit old. === p_h is now known as p_high [05:26] I really want to try that duel boot [05:26] linux vs osx [05:27] I wish I had the money for that. lol [05:27] and the winner will have to face windows 10 [05:28] linux [05:29] u should try the dual boot. its cool [05:30] I have tat already , but DUEL BOOT ! Man that's the future [05:30] in the end it Can be only one [05:30] yeah.. but u can switch anytime [05:31] that's cheating in DUEL boot [05:31] no switch [05:32] u can even have 3 OS Sitting on your box [05:32] ;) [05:32] what about the live usb [05:35] hi, I was running Xubuntu 12.04, but I looked up online how to perform an upgrade to 14.04, and then perform another upgrade to 16.04, [05:35] Everything appears to be working fine, except when I do sudo apt-get update, it sticks at 0%, [05:36] I have another computer with Xubuntu 16.04, is it safe to copy over the respositories manually to the upgraded computer ? because the upgraded computer appears to not have any "additional software" repositories .. [05:36] ok ..i suggest u restart your box with the command init 6 and sudo update it again [05:43] ok I noticed when I compare the "trusted software providers" section in my repositories, they are different [05:43] the stock 16.04 has more than the upgraded version [05:44] I have added extra software packes to the stock Ubuntu 16.04, could this be from those ? [05:46] i'm every boot up typed "gnome-keying-daemon &" on terminal after delete KDE & unity8 [05:46] did you run it through your su terminal# [05:47] ones you upgrade in your terminal u should be fine [05:47] good morning :) [05:47] how to upgrade?? [05:51] sudo apt-get upgrade. [05:53] questions about installation ,upgrade, any useful command line check it out on google. [05:53] @tonA thankyou [05:53] u welcome . === adrian is now known as BlitzerHound [05:56] What's a good antivirus for ubuntu? [05:57] clamav [05:57] can I just apt-get that? [05:57] BlitzerHound, but you dont really need one [05:57] apt search for it [05:57] hi henlo newbie-ish question i guess, how do i get my iphone 4 to recognize so i can put music on it :@ [05:57] ive tried everything and i'm at my wits end [05:57] Oh. But shouldn't I still use one? I don't know much about ubuntu still, it's rather new to me. I've been using it for maybe a few weeks lol [05:57] you don't need AV for linux [05:57] linux users use antivirus? [05:58] some do [05:58] it's handy if you have a windows drive [05:58] u don't have to use antivirus [05:58] have a linux thumb drive then run it on the drive if its fucked [05:58] windows u need antivirus but linux i dont think u do [05:58] correct [05:58] BlitzerHound, you don't need one unless you are worried about your windows partitions [05:59] ive been using linux for 14 years and the only thing i've had close to an issue is a browserkit [05:59] Nah I don't have windows partitions. [05:59] then you're good [05:59] Awesome. That's... really surprising lol. [06:00] !virus [06:00] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [06:00] try to upgrade and it will fix stuff for you and you can even locate files that do not belong to your box and kill them [06:02] if u ever get scared of virus and u don't know your way around your box.try ubuntu live. [06:02] Wait, so wine doesn't count as windows partition right? === MasterScript is now known as zz_MasterScript [06:03] 'cause I use wine [06:03] don't use too much, you're gonna have a hangover [06:04] BlitzerHound: nope, check out: https://www.winehq.org/about [06:04] im like 80% sure it doesnt count [06:04] Awesome, I'll check that out rn [06:04] Also lol @rud0lf [06:05] windows partition as in physical partition on disk? nope [06:05] Because I'm trying to get this program called Cain which I guess works with IPs and stuff. But I think I found a better program (that I hope has the same function) called wireshark. [06:06] But it keeps telling me not to trust the website that you download it from. [06:06] wine makes a directory and makes windows programs think it's a partition [06:06] wireshark is pretty good [06:06] what do you mean "works with ips"? what sort of functionality do you seek? [06:06] I'm trying to be able to pull IPs while I'm gaming [06:07] you've checked to make sure the games youre playing are compatible on linux right [06:07] Well, I'm trying to do it from the xbox [06:07] AH ok [06:07] that i cant help with [06:07] Yeah, I'm looking up tutorials on my own [06:07] i just wanted to make sure you knew linux isnt like 100% there when it comes to gaming === ifro_ is now known as sleepfro [06:08] Just when I went to this website a bunch of red flags popped up and said I should leave immediately. Got me thinking about antivirus, so I just figured I would ask. [06:09] is Drone` a bot? [06:16] * p_high is away, 10 minute autoaway (l!on) : os/bx [06:20] who still uses away announcer? [06:20] yeah didn't really the setting was on [06:20] realize* [06:20] :P [06:21] #bash and ##linux let me have it [06:21] default install 16.04 has conflicting desktop entries name, namely "Name=Backups" is present three time, so two are shadowed. Is this a bug at all? [06:22] c I want to play openarena. No one knows any fixes for the bug with 16.10 do they? [06:22] Apparently since I have ubuntu 16.10 I can't play it despite having a system that can easily handle it. It just crashes any time I try to join. === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [06:36] Hi there ... just a little question (to be sure) ... I've created a raid-unit (raid-5) with 15TB and have selected gpt-table [06:37] to format mkfs.ext4 is right - isn't it? [06:37] ('cause it's warning because it's gpt) [06:37] vi ~/.bitchxrc [06:43] What is the default shortcut to the "search" launcher [06:44] Hi, I'm wondering.. do you use snaps? I use apt in my Ubuntu 16.10 and so far I have trouble to even find what snap packages are there as I didn't find a catalogue on a website [06:48] hello, is Budgie DE officially supported by Ubuntu? [06:48] I mean Ubuntu Budgie. [06:49] and is it stable? [06:51] CrazyTux: "Budgie" has been known to completely wipe out entire systems, steal passwords and other identity based information, purchase sex toys on eBay and vote for Trump. Dangerous. [06:51] i'd say purchasing sex toys is an advantage [06:52] really? scary. LOL.. [06:52] rud0lf: "Sex toys for animals" - hmm... [06:52] CrazyTux: I AM JOKING BRO. Sarcasm. [06:52] yes. that's a definite advantage. If you can get them for free. [06:53] YankDownUnder, I know. LOL. [06:53] CrazyTux: Give it a go if you feel like experimenting with different desktops. There's also KDE, WindowMaker, XFce, LxDE, Cinnamon, Mate, Gnome3, Enlightenment, i3, IceWM...heaps... [06:53] how many can I use at a time? [06:54] installing many DEs has any drawbacks? [06:54] CrazyTux: Well, considering you can only login and see one desktop at a time...(unless you're doing remote...then you can use a different desktop) [06:54] CrazyTux: Only drawback: too many choices. [06:55] ok. How can I install Budgie DE? [06:55] entire Budgie DE. [06:55] CrazyTux: Check in synaptic - see if it's listed...if it's not, then check through the Ubuntu forums to see who's got the PPA information for it...easy done. [06:56] I have Mate 16.04.2 installed. And Lubuntu Desktop, Xubuntu DE and Gnome installed on this Mate. [06:56] ok [06:56] CrazyTux: Like this link: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/03/how-to-install-budgie-desktop-in-ubuntu-ppa.html [06:57] ok. [06:57] Up to you...I have a few...but generally choose to stick with WindowMaker because it's got the smallest footprint and it's, well, ancient. [06:57] what is WindowMaker? [06:59] ok [06:59] CrazyTux: It's an ancient window mangler that was based on NeXT. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_Maker [06:59] ok [07:02] I did try Solus Budgie once. In VirtualBox [07:03] It looks "nice"...have to give it a "test" sometime...easy enough to delete/purge/erase/eradicate... [07:04] * p_high is away, 10 minute autoaway (l!on) : os/bx [07:04] yes. === james is now known as Guest31066 [07:05] or shall I download Ubuntu Budgie OS itself and try that? [07:06] CrazyTux: Your call, mate. I use Virtualbox to test lots of things...ain't like it would hurt...then again, I'm me and you're you - we each have different ideas - and that's what makes life great. [07:07] one more question. If I want to run Android app on my laptop, which linux distro is most recommended? [07:07] CrazyTux: once again - here we go [07:07] CrazyTux: you've been told 10+ times this channel is for ubuntu support [07:08] not your CONSTANT distro swapping [07:08] hi ikonia, how are you?

Any advice? Some command output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24353992/ [11:12] it hasn't been restarted yet, and I'd really rather solve this remotely pre-reboot, rather than having to do it on-site [11:17] Hi. Any idea why `setxkbmap` does not work in Ubuntu GNOME? I’m trying to set the variant to a particular one that is not `basic`, but it ends up being that anyway. [11:18] exscape, start of by trying "sudo apt-get install -f", this is to fix "3 not fully installed or removed" [11:19] mgor: thanks; it failed though, it doesn't seem happy that the kernel file doesn't exist. http://paste.ubuntu.com/24354009/ [11:21] Hey all! [11:22] Getting back to GNOME gonna be good? [11:25] marrenarre: recent gnome-based environments don't respect xkb settings, they defined their own in gsettings. On the other hand, MATE does respect them. [11:25] aadi: we will see what the future brings :) technically there should not be an issue [11:25] marrenarre: so, use the gnome keyboard layouts dialog to define what you want === tking0036 is now known as Guest48940 [11:26] exscape, not sure how picky it is regarding the file type, but you could try to create a dummy file, so that the file actually exists, touch /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-72-generic [11:28] alkisg: Aww. :( I guess I will just use e.g. MATE then since I have another setup that does use `setxkbmap` and I am too lazy to maintain separate solutions. [11:28] k1l, I was thinking to install GNOME desktop in my machine, I once installed GNOME Session flashback, but is there any other way to have GNOME desktop environment in my machine? === Spontex is now known as Guest30655 [11:29] hello [11:30] can anyone help me??

[11:33] https://imagez.to/a/0jYiYw [11:38] does someone know how to fix the reboot bug in ubuntu Server 16.04 [11:39] mgor: thanks, that set me on the right track! After creating vmlinuz-... and System.map-... I could install a new kernel, looks like everything is fine now [11:40] exscape, glad to hear! [11:40] can anyone help me with ethernet driver? [11:41] exscape, just make sure that /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-72-generic isn't an empty file, if you accidently try to boot it :) [11:41] ShadowZ, which card? [11:41] nvidia nforce [11:41] https://imagez.to/a/0jYiYw [11:42] mgor: haha, yeah, I checked :) it also installed proper files for abi/config/initrd [11:43] ShadowZ, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man4/nfe.4freebsd.html [11:44] ShadowZ: i recommend getting a PCI-E Intel instead of the horrible, horrible NVIDIA ethernet :) [11:44] less P.T ^^ [11:47] it was an old computer [11:47] nForce 4/400 was one giant mess, which you should avoid if possible. Having said that, ShadowZ's system cleaerly detects the ethernet adapter [11:47] i just used it for torrenting [11:48] where is loader.conf? [11:49] ShadowZ: what is your issue ? Your ethernet is at enp0s7 [11:49] yes [11:49] but what is your problem ? from here it looks it works just fine [11:50] how could I install Autocad in Ubuntu? [11:50] nothing hapen when i plug in the cabel [11:50] ifconfig -a prints what? [11:50] like i'm not using ethernet at all [11:50] are you getting an IP? [11:51] ShadowZ: and please also post /etc/network/interfaces, just to be sure [11:51] https://imagez.to/i/WsdWqtPe.png [11:52] hi [11:52] aadi: install "gnome-shell" or install "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" for the full desktop including all standard apps etc. [11:53] i hate when qbittorent has errors on downloadung ubuntu [11:53] ShadowZ, does the light on the eth port come on when you plug in the cable? [11:53] https://imagez.to/i/M3fyQBVe [11:54] yes [11:54] the light is on [11:54] when's 1704 releasing [11:54] whats better bittorent qbiyyorent or utorrent [11:54] nanodrone: still the 13.04.2017 [11:54] ShadowZ: ethtool enp0s7 [11:54] i forget.

[11:55] ShadowZ: it should give you an output like http://paste.ubuntu.com/24354129/ [11:55] ShadowZ, post output to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [11:55] command not found [11:55] ShadowZ; sudo apt-get install ethtool [11:56] ShadowZ: and obviously if you can, install pastebinit too [11:56] ShadowZ: try, sudo dhclient [11:56] then you can run ethtool enp0s7 | pastebinit === anonymous is now known as Guest74782 [11:56] ShadowZ: as you can see, the output will tell at last line if link is detected or not [11:56] if no link is detected => system thinks there is no cable [11:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24354151/ [11:59] ShadowZ: so link is not detected, that sounds bad [11:59] ShadowZ: are you sure the cable is fine ? [11:59] yep [11:59] i try with my laptop [11:59] its connected [12:00] RIP ethernet port then, IMO :) [12:01] buy an ethernet card, if it is a desktop PC [12:01] ShadowZ, go get another PCI ethernet card [12:01] or keep using the wirless [12:01] i guess don't much choice is it [12:02] it is [12:02] why is it that its okay before [12:02] when? [12:02] like, when did it stop working? [12:03] ubuntu 16.10 [12:03] ShadowZ, interesting.

It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [12:06] on other side with a 20 euro NIC would probably double the value of that computer [12:06] does anybody knows why is ubuntu abandonning mir + unity in favor of gnome?

[12:21] wellick, A solution could be changing your hostfile out with a script at X time via crontab [12:23] But that makes it very easy to change it back out of impulse.

[14:13] hi everyone, how could I hold the ethernet controller to do it non updatable? [14:13] this is what happens after i logout or close the lid of my laptop [14:14] it is fixed after i reboot [14:14] http://imgur.com/a/ZyyTy [14:14] wizard_: non updatable? [14:15] wizard_: you mean a static address? [14:15] yengas: yes, i seen bug report for that [14:15] sudo su pass apt update apt upgreat [14:15] yengas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1292830 [14:15] Launchpad bug 1292830 in OEM Priority Project "Resuming from sleep makes black borders around windows appear" [Critical,In progress] [14:16] yengas: some get black, some white borders [14:16] ducasse, after update the system, I only can connect to internet using wifi, but my etheret card don't conecct, i have to install the driver [14:17] syntaks: you could always try some latest 4.10 kernel and try to use nvidia driver with that. in worst case scenario you will return to 4.11 [14:17] wizard_: the ethernet drivers are part of the kernel, you could try the old one [14:17] my pc uses this driver RTL8169 [14:17] why not [14:17] let's give it a go :) [14:17] how can i do it? [14:17] faugusztin How I can install or use thelounge? [14:18] syntaks: though this one says seems like it really needs 4.11 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=224907 [14:18] someone_: https://thelounge.github.io/ :) [14:18] wizard_: choose the previous kernel from the grub menu on boot, it's under 'advanced' [14:18] someone_: the green box is rather specific :D [14:18] 4.11 not stable [14:18] ahhh [14:18] faugusztin: looks like i'm waiting [14:18] Thank you. [14:19] ducasse, and I can update after that without the same problem? [14:19] wizard_: no, you will need to keep using the kernel that works - *if* that is the problem [14:20] ducasse, ok, thanks, and another doubt, itś possible to install lxde without it's pgrograms? [14:23] wizard_: yes, you can pick and choose the components you want [14:23] ducasse using the software center or synaptic? [14:24] wizard_: either [14:24] ducasse, thank you again, i will to try it, cause unity is so heavy for my machine [14:25] First apt install lubuntu desktop or apt install lxde? [14:26] wizard_: lxde, but that will install small programs like the calculator, terminal and image viewer, you probably want those, though. === sleepfro is now known as ifro [14:27] If the root user change my password (by "passwd" or directly in the "/etc/shadow") it can be able access my home directory encrypted with ecryptfs? [14:27] thans [14:28] ducasse and after do this, i can remove unuty? [14:28] wizard_: maybe you should have installed Lubuntu in the first place [14:29] braimash, it wasn't an option at it's moment [14:29] Is there a repository for Lounge? [14:30] what's an easy way to setup remote access to an ubuntu host behind NAT from another ubuntu host? [14:31] someone_: see the projects github, but i doubt it [14:31] ArchDebian: no, that'll break the wrapped passphrase [14:33] I see there's Desktop Sharing Preferences panel but I'm more interested if there's some app taking care of the behind-the-nat-traversal [14:35] kirkland: thank you, eCryptfs seems good to protect the home data [14:35] [14:36] hello.. i'm unable to read and write this usb stick.. format is not possible even whit gparted that sees it as non writable.. have it a brick or how can it be recovered/restored?

I want to install Ubuntu on my brand new laptop. It has no OS installed on it. [14:42] gpt formatted hdd. [14:43] yes ducasse .. I have 2 of them that maybe blew out after a unsafe remove of them.. i don't know why this happened several monts ago :/ now i need one and would be good somehow fix it but haven't find aswere yet.. [14:44] L00P3X: i think this is just what the memory cells do when they fail, they 'lock' in read only mode [14:47] ducasse: why? it's like that pore guy who deleted sudo and tryed sudo apt-get install sudo.. [14:49] L00P3X: it's how flash memory works, it has a limited number of write cycles [14:50] hi, I am using my laptop either at my company either on public network [14:50] my company is behind a NTML proxy [14:50] ducasse: so you say thats it's may bricked.. also caput, gone [14:51] I would like to switch some configurations either when I am in company and when I am in a public network [14:51] what would be the best way to implement that ? [14:51] I guess trigerring a script that would do the job is an option there [14:51] L00P3X: that's the gist, yes [14:53] ducasse: not the best way to prevent data lost :|.. my computer befor getting to hot should shut down and not prevently explode [14:54] L00P3X: the data should still be readable, you just can't write to it. it's much better than say hard drives, that totally fail. [14:56] how does one grep a file for a string containing a space? [14:57] chrisml: 'grep "foo bar" file' [14:57] chrisml: grep ' ' file [14:58] ah i was trying to pipe it [14:58] ducasse: thank you for your time.. let's see what i kann either do whit it :/ [14:58] L00P3X: np [15:03] hi everyone... does anyone know how to debug a preseeded netboot? [15:04] (or a better channel for the question if this isn't the right place?) [15:04] dfin: what specifically do you need to debug? [15:05] nacc: The installation process - I'm getting an "Installation Step Failed" error while in the "Select and Install Software" stage [15:05] And I don't really know how to see what's going wrong [15:07] dfin: do you have access to the console? [15:07] yes [15:07] dfin: iirc, you can go back in the menus to the root menu and "drop to a shell" or so [15:07] hm [15:07] dfin: at which point you should be able to look at logs in /var/log [15:09] nacc: awesome! I have an error! thanks! === nat_ is now known as Natkeeran [15:11] dfin: np [15:18] anddam, if you use vnc, you'd have to port forward 5900 on your router === aquarius_ is now known as aquarius__ [15:30] is it possible to pass options to service within systemd ? Something like systemctl restart cntlm -c /etc/cntlm.private.conf ? [15:32] is there a way to install a package without all the dependencies.. im trying to install banshee but dont want all the other stuff it comes with [15:33] sere: try 'apt install --no-install-recommends banshee' [15:33] sere: do you undserstand what dependencies are ? [15:34] sere: Well the dependencies are just that. However you can try sudo apt autoremove after the install to remove the cruft. [15:34] BluesKaj: yes but i dont need to install braseo is i already have another burning program theres others aswell i dont need [15:35] brasero is a recommends [15:35] so as ducasse said, sere [15:35] probably because banshee knows how to natively talk to brasero, but not tested/known to be able to use other burning software(s) [15:35] sere: you can remove what you don't need afterwards i guess , but ducasse's suggestion will work too ..never tried that myself [15:36] sere: you can pass --no-install-recommends and it won't install the recommends, but you can't remove a packages dependencies without removing te package itself [15:36] anchnk: i think you would change the unit definition [15:37] i never thought that recommendeds were installed by default anyway [15:38] BluesKaj: i believe they are, but i think it depends on the tool [15:39] thank you!!! without to no installs it unpacks at 254 and with it 114 [15:39] nacc sorry what do you mean by unit definition ? [15:40] i normally use aptitude or apt-get and synaptic for gui [15:41] sere: i know you can change the default for apt-get with apt.conf [15:41] sere: not sure about aptitude or synaptic [15:41] afaik they are installed by default, synaptic even has an apt prefs file named 99-something to override other settings [15:41] anchnk: do you know how systemd services are configured? [15:42] ducasse: ty :) [15:42] anchnk: if not, then no, it's not generally possible to do what you want without changing some files locally (which is my suggestion: change what the cntlm service does [15:42] i didnt know i could do this.. been feeling so bloated lately [15:43] nacc: ok so I would have to change the content of the configuration file in my script that's it ? [15:43] anchnk: uh, no? [15:43] anchnk: you need to change the definition of what hte cntlm service is [15:44] anchnk: i don't know what cntlm is but maybe there is an option you can set in, say, /etc/default/cntlm or so that specifies where it's config file lives [15:44] yeah it's a program to deal with ntlm protocol and proxies in most companies I would like it to load with a different configuration files [15:45] 99synaptic is APT::Install-Recommends "true"; [15:45] hello [15:45] I could stop the service switch the content of the default configuration file and restart it but I find that kind of ugly [15:45] I would better like to start the service with the good configuration file so I would have to lok in the definition [15:46] sere: yes, i always remove that file [15:46] sere: or change it, i don't recall rn [15:46] anchnk: right, my suggestion is one of two: change the service to explicitly look for your configuration file (/lib/systemd/system/cntlm.service maybe), or change what configuration file it uses by default (/etc/default/cntlm maybe) [15:47] ducasse: i changed it to false. will remove it i need to [15:47] ok thank you nacc I am going to try [15:48] anchnk: gl [16:02] Is there a way of changing my ip adress so I can use spotify? Apparently it's not available in my country [16:02] Murii: a VPN would come to mind, there are various free and commercial ones.

[16:11] any hints on how to get it to DTRT? [16:12] i've checked the usual suspects---the correct driver is installed (the one for vmware) [16:12] what's weird is that /etc/X11/xorg.conf doesn't exist [16:13] i think the display resolution is set to 4K (and then scaled down by VMware Fusion) even though my display is only 1080p [16:13] How would I go about remapping a key on just one device? (I have a USB foot pedal which presents itself as a "b" key and I want it to present itself as XF86AudioPause.) [16:14] Preferrably via /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that it's not tied to a specific desktop and doesn't require a command to be manually run after hotplug. [16:14] deitario1: have you checked in system settings > keyboard > shortcuts? [16:14] i'm having a meltdown on my server. i think perhabs my hdd is broken. i think i heard it make a little sound. but when the computer started up i pressed escape to see the bootlog on screen and saw that at least one partition got tested (prretty fast tho), and then the pc hung, i got a lot of kernel panics, then i rebooted again and now the pc starts up and i can login, but network isnt working [16:14] anymore. i'm getting alot of rtl8... ply messages in dmesg and one kernel panic. ,... is there a system diagnostics tool in ubuntu to test all the hardware, cpu, memory, disks and tell me exactly which one is creating all this kernel panic. (or perhabs it is my ethernet card, but i dont think that would create a kernel panic tho, would it? just a little "ah.. your network pci card doesnt work" [16:14] panic) [16:15] nicomachus: Preferrably via /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that it's not tied to a specific desktop [16:15] what do I choose libav or ffmpeg ? [16:15] Dr-007: well, you can't really detect what 'causes' a panic from within the system itself, as a panic kills the system [16:15] Dr-007: SMART will check your HDD, memtest for memory. start there. [16:15] I bounce around through multiple desktops and I'd also like a solution I can apply to my mother's Lubuntu box once her unit arrives. [16:15] XenophonF: there is on /etc/X11/xorg.conf by defult anymore (there is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ iirc) [16:16] XenophonF: you can look in the X log to see why it using the resolution it is [16:16] XenophonF: and xrandr may let you change it [16:16] libav vs ffmpeg ? who wins ? [16:16] and why ? [16:16] !ot | generic [16:16] generic: #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! [16:16] thanks nacc I'll check that [16:16] generic: Assuming you're actually asking which is technically superior, ffmpeg. [16:16] nacc, thats true. but the inpatient little me also closed the window that ubuntu's gui opened telling me there was a problem (with a more info btn) so perhabs it was logged [16:16] ill go from there nicomachus === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [16:17] What's usages of lan? [16:17] Dr-007: well panics are hard to log -- what would log them? the kernel, no that's already dead :) [16:17] Dr-007: so you often need a console logger to catpure the output [16:17] deitariol: lets stick with the stuff that we know :) thanks [16:18] Dr-007: but yeah, you can start witht he tools that do exist for testing hw [16:18] for your network test. first use the command iwconfig to check the status of your network. after that you ping it to other host available on your network [16:18] kang0: you want to know what a lan is? [16:18] tonA: ? wrong channel? [16:18] I know what's lan nacc [16:18] xrandr says that the display is set to 5120x3200! [16:18] I think it's connected devices [16:19] what is recommended for ubuntu libav or ffmpeg ? [16:19] generic: I do. Go back through the LWN.net archives. There have been whole articles about how libav has been withering since ffmpeg's maintainership cleaned up its act and how ffmpeg tends to respond more promptly to security fixes and, in general, get new functionality implemented more quickly. (Plus, Debian-family distros are the only major users of libav, with everyone else using and developing for ffmpeg.) [16:19] I want to know what's benefits or usages or apps after connecting devices [16:19] i mean the status of your network card..and you can use the command htop to check the process and cpu usage ,ram and all [16:19] XenophonF: that seems like pretty hi res :) [16:19] generic: use what you want [16:19] nacc: no doubt! [16:19] kang0: you want to know what the benefit of a lan is? [16:20] Which are usages [16:20] kang0: that's not an ubuntu support topic, really. Maybe try ##linux, or something [16:20] this is my chance to convince my boss to buy me one of those 4K displays! [16:20] kang0: it's so generic a question, i don't know where you'd ask it [16:20] "oh man my ubuntu dev VM isn't compatible with these old displays..." :) [16:20] kang0: do you mean a LAN as compared to ... what? [16:20] nacc: Debian-family distros are the only major users of libav, with everyone else using and developing for ffmpeg. [16:20] !who | tonA [16:20] tonA: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [16:20] tonA: afaict, that doeesn't help if there's a panic [16:21] ubottu got it [16:21] tonA: libav hasn't been packagd on ubuntu since 15.04 [16:21] tonA: sorry! [16:21] generic, check, ls -al /usr/bin/avconv just links to ffmpeg [16:21] nacc I don't want to Compare lan with anyone [16:21] nacc, ah thats true. i get what you mean. i've "debugged"/backtraced kernel panics from openwrt via a serial cable. the only reason that output ever reached my brain was because it was directly dumped to screen [16:21] generic: libav hasn't been packaged on ubunt since 15.04? unelss it's a newname [16:21] generic, at least for me on 16.04 [16:21] nacc is ok [16:22] wafflejock: yep [16:22] what is a 'bzr' host? [16:22] ash_workz: bzr is a bazaar, an SCM (like git, svn, etc) [16:22] im glad the server started tho. i am now preparing an usb drive so i can mimic the env on my desktop pc. just have to get my webserver fils [16:22] Dr-007: right :) [16:22] Huh. I wasn't aware of that. I've been using 14.04 LTS since it wasn't LTS because I haven't been able to justify disruption on my work machine. [16:22] kang0: then i don't understand your question or what you are trying to understand [16:22] deitario1: 'wasn't LTS'? [16:22] Ok na [16:23] wafflejock: i dont need libav .. i would have done the same though :) [16:23] nacc: Since it wasn't in the LTS phase of its lifecycle. [16:23] What are different usages of router [16:23] nacc: thanks for the answer .. that about settles it [16:23] kang0, a router is primarily concerned with routing and network address translation or NAT [16:24] kang0..as an extender [16:24] kang0, it basically keeps track of what internal/LAN IP requested what page by using port numbers and remembers which ports it used for which requests for which LAN IPs so it can route the data to the correct device [16:24] nacc: oh? I googled an article about using git with inkscape and one such read 'We use a tool called git-bzr-ng to allow git to talk to bzr remote hosts.'... is bzr particularly suited for something over git? (I guess vector files in particular) [16:24] If I have an older ubuntu installed on OpenVZ, can I upgrade to eg, 16.04? [16:24] ash_workz: launchpad only had bzr for a while, but now also has git [16:24] nacc: what is launchpad again? [16:25] kang0, usually routers have DHCP on them too for giving out IP addresses to devices that request one on the network and keeps track of those by MAC address since those don't change for each network adapter [16:25] kang0: A router is one of several ways to connect two networks together to make one bigger network and you need at least some of your connections to be via routers to successfully make something as big as the Internet. [16:25] I stand by point that kang0's questions are offtopic [16:25] let's move all the answers somewhere else :) [16:26] hi [16:26] I don't have internet cable [16:26] agree with nacc kang0 would be good to put networking questions in #networking and keep this chat open for Ubuntu support issues [16:26] Hence looking ways to use router [16:26] My firefox in ubuntu creashes [16:26] Other ways [16:26] like always [16:26] where can i get the logs of firefox?? [16:27] le-bro: you can run it from the command-line (terminal) and see if it dumps output when it crashes [16:27] ash_workz: http://launchpad.net/ primary development site for ubuntu [16:27] nacc: then what's canonical? [16:28] le-bro sudo apt-get update then apt-get install firefox ? [16:28] ash_workz: canonical is a company [16:28] nacc: the company that supports development on launchpad.net? [16:28] ash_workz: canonical supports ubuntu; ubuntu uses launchpad (for bugs, etc.) [16:29] !discuss | ash_workz [16:29] ash_workz: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat.

[16:37] well i give up - tweaking xorg display configs was "fun" twenty years ago, but not so much now [16:37] i'm going to re-install ubuntu and hope that it auto-detects the right settings [16:37] brb [16:40] It is a support question btw ;) === sm__ is now known as mrpeppermint [16:43] Skyrider: "older ubuntu" -- makes me think you mean an EOL version, else why not say what version? [16:47] pavlos: my question was about a program that would overcame the need for explicit routing setup [16:48] pavlos: like using a centralized server to create a tunnel or so, I'm not sure someting like that exists in FOSS world but I figure it may well do [16:48] Really, no one? [16:50] Skyrider: ... i asked what version? [16:50] Sorry nacc, missed that. [16:50] 14.04 to 16.04 [16:50] Skyrider: i don't know what openvz has to do with it, but if it's ubuntu, you should be able to do-release-upgrade it [16:50] Hi. I am a newbie here. Can somebody please explain what this is? [16:51] mrpeppermint: this is the Ubuntu support channel, for helping users with issues iwth Ubuntu [16:51] mrpeppermint: or do you mean IRC in general? [16:51] It will always attempt to install to 16.04 from an older version in the end? [16:51] or do i have to add something somewhere. [16:51] !ask| mrpeppermint [16:51] mrpeppermint: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [16:51] Skyrider: i'm not sure what 'it' is and it depends on what "older version" is [16:52] Skyrider: and your settings, of course [16:52] nacc: IRC in general. And also hw this is diff from askubuntu? [16:52] mrpeppermint: askubuntu is a web forum [16:52] mrpeppermint: irc is more like a live chat [16:52] I mean.. if I upgrade from 14.04, I assume 15.04 will come first? or will it skip it to the latest. [16:52] Skyrider: no. [16:52] Skyrider: 15.04 is eol [16:52] Yea, I know. Just wondering [16:52] Skyrider: 14.04 -> 16.04 is the only upgrade you can do currently [16:52] Thanks :) [16:52] Skyrider: lts -> lts [16:53] Guess I'll try it later on with a fresh new 14.04 minimal, thanks. [16:53] Skyrider: or, once you are on the last lts (16.04 currently), you can upgrade to development releases (16.10, 17.04) [16:53] Appreciate it [16:53] Skyrider: see /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades [16:54] nacc: so there are 1877 total users active right now? [16:54] Skyrider: but note, once you are on development releases, they have shorter suppport cycles and you have to go sequentially through them (so you can't upgrde from 16.04 to 17.04 but must do 16.04 -> 16.10 -> 17.04) [16:54] mrpeppermint: 'active' -- present and visible, sure [16:54] mrpeppermint: and all of those users can see verythig you type, yes.

Give me a sec to track down what its name was. [16:56] Hurthfoo: prompt - no, but you can use gufw. There you can see the connections [16:56] deitario1, great, thanks [16:56] deitario1: you mean deluge [16:57] baizon: Deluge is the BitTorrent client I use, not a firewall. [16:57] baizon, yeah I'm aware of gufw, but that's not suitable [16:57] im sorry [16:58] There we go. It requires an out-of-tree kernel module and it's developed by one guy, so it's not guaranteed to be compatible with all distros and releases at all times, but Douane is what I was thinking of. --> http://douaneapp.com/ [16:58] its not deluge...

[17:02] no [17:02] is 32 bit [17:02] thats why [17:03] why use 14.04 either? old [17:03] but the server it only support 32 bit [17:03] well 234mb of RAM seems wrong regardless of bitsize [17:03] all depends on how much is alotted to video, etc [17:03] Muadabi: was that a typo? can you pastebin `cat /proc/meminfo` ? [17:03] also, I don't think the 3.4GB rule has been true on 32-bit for wahile either [17:04] right, PAE has been on by default, iirc? [17:04] yea since like 12.04 [17:04] and 3.4GB (or whatever that value was) != 234mb :) [17:04] Muadabi: why would a server inly support 32bit? [17:04] Muadabi, what is the cpu model?

I can't get either legacy or efi to work. [17:59] Doow, What happens when you boot? [18:00] Hello! i need help with installing ubuntu without interfering with any windows 10 things. [18:02] Schzd, the Ubuntu installer (assumming you aren't installing Ubuntu Server) should have an option to "Install alongside Windows" [18:03] but that mess with the MBR. as far as I know. I don't want that. === blkadder is now known as blkadder[afk] [18:03] Also it gives me Error with UEFI... [18:03] you need to mess with the MBR to install grub to be able to boot to Ubuntu. GRUB will also allow you to boot into Windows [18:04] Schzd, Are you on an EFI system? [18:04] I don't handle UEFI, but make sure that Secure/Fast boot is disabled [18:04] !uefi [18:04] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [18:04] Azulflame, Secure boot can stay enabled [18:04] PipeItToDevNull: if I'm using legacy when I try to boot I just get "Reboot and Select proper Boot device [18:04] or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device" If I use UEFI I can select the drive to boot from once in BIOS, however it doesn't use it and instead boots windows (I'm going for dualboot). If I go in to bios again after that the ubuntu boot disk isn't listed as bootable anymore. [18:05] Doow, to maintain a dualboot you must use EFI, as once an OS is instaleld it cannot be launched in legacy (Your Windows is EFI) I have no experience installing Windows first in an EFI environment and a user yesterday had the same issue, it was not resolved. [18:06] PipeItToDevNull: oh :( [18:06] Doow, I beleive the issue lies in Windows not sharing it's EFI partition [18:07] PipeItToDevNull: even if I have two different physical drives for windows and ubuntu? [18:07] Doow, I am unsure [18:08] how do i change unity/ambiance ui text colours? i have black text on gray background in the top application menu [18:08] one drive holds the boot records. It simply points to the other drive [18:08] Doow: well efi is not about your disks but is a bios setting -- i would keep it in efi mode [18:09] Doow, if you boot the live USB, what is the output of "efibootmgr -v" ? [18:09] Assuming your current install was done as EFI [18:10] PipeItToDevNull: let me check =) [18:10] it's set to efi right now btw [18:10] Doow, Pastebin the output, as well as "lsblk" === timp is now known as t1mp [18:21] hello =) [18:21] Hello [18:21] how do I make it so that I don't have to enter a password to get back to my desktop after the screen saver comes on? new install of lubuntu here [18:21] where can i find the default used acpi event rules? [18:24] I'm doing `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade` but I get this error: [18:24] E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [18:24] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [18:24] PipeItToDevNull: http://paste2.org/BBeNjLWn (bonus output from Boot-Repair: http://paste2.org/eF9atGNK ) [18:25] raj: is something else running (possibly in the background) like update-manager? [18:25] nacc, no idea [18:25] Note, this is directly after installation, I'm not sure if anything is destroyed when rebooting [18:25] I'm running ubuntu-server [18:25] raj: you can see that wiwth `sudo lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock` [18:26] nacc, no output [18:27] Doow, So the EFI entry, 0001 is for Ubuntu, it seems to be formed fine. If you mount /dev/sdc3 does the file /EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi exist? [18:27] raj: it's possible whatever was running has dropped the lock, does it still occur? [18:27] question: we are running active/active bond between two 10gb ports. Running ubuntu 16.10. we have the hdwadress ether set for both nics, and find that after a reboot that the mac address changes to the other nic during a reboot. Is there a way in active/aactive to stay on one default mac for the bond? [18:27] nacc, still happening [18:28] i have two things to ask [18:28] sohel, shoot [18:29] i have ubuntu gnome 16.04 how do i install gdm,plymouth and grub themes [18:29] nacc, got it solved [18:29] I was not sudoing the second half of that command after && [18:30] raj: hrm, you typed above that you were? [18:30] craigs_: may be better asked in #ubuntu-server [18:30] sohel: google can help you find a lot of what you're looking for.. try http://ubuntuguide.net/beautify-grub-2-boot-loader-by-installing-themes [18:30] ack thanks [18:30] i already did, but its confusing and they are guiding as per their DE [18:31] may be only tel me how do i install GDM theme if you know [18:31] i don't use gdm. sorry [18:31] PipeItToDevNull [18:32] sohel, gdm and plymouth should already be installed [18:32] PipeItToDevNull: the custom theme which i want to install [18:33] PipeItToDevNull: I can't mount it, mount seems to default it to ntfs, but then says "the device '/dev/sdc3' doesn't seem to have a valid ntfs" [18:33] sohel, I am unsure with themes, I run without a DM. customize-grub is a package that may help you [18:33] they other things is how do i transparent or customize it, for every software same background or transparent, [18:33] Doow, A EFI partition should be Fat32 [18:33] gparted says that the type is 'unknown' [18:34] browser, and everything with same background or [18:34] transpare [18:34] transparent [18:34] PipeItToDevNull [18:34] sohel, Are you confusing a grub theme with a GTK theme? [18:35] nacc, not sure what you mean? that sounded like yoda [18:35] also brb, need to reboot [18:36] PipeItToDevNull: no, leave that, tell me about customizing background of every software/app window, whatever, it has to be for every not only for system, chrome, and all [18:36] PipeItToDevNull: that'd be vfat in mount lingo? mount can't mount it as vfat either way =( [18:36] I have ubuntu 16.04 and my unity has problem keeping icons on desktop in way I want them to be, they get sorted everytime [18:36] I log in [18:36] that's not a valid argument for ubuntu to switch to gnome [18:36] gnome is half baked unity , whoever wanted ubuntu to switch to gnome should rethink [18:37] sohel, You are looking for a GTK theme such as "Arc" [18:37] anybody knows how to fix auto sorting problem [18:37] Doow, it would be fat32 [18:37] sohel, investigate "every software/app window" ... gdm themes should apply to them, unless they have their own setting, so check yourself in the settings [18:37] RonaldsMazitis, right click on the desktop and deselect the Align Desktop Icons? [18:37] RonaldsMazitis, right click on the desktop and deselect the Align Desktop Icons? [18:38] PipeItToDevNull: mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32' [18:38] yeah, but they autosort on login every time [18:38] I can't put folder on one side, icons on other, and wait for them to stay in same place [18:38] Doow: iirc it's 'vfat' in ubuntu [18:39] Doow, nacc is right, I just checked my fstab [18:39] this might be because I come from 14.04 when I upgraded to 16.04 [18:39] RonaldsMazitis, and I'm guessing 'Sort Desktop Icons by Name' is also disabled [18:39] nacc, PipeItToDevNull: ok, doesn't work :( [18:39] Doow, Which could be why the system doesnt boot [18:40] Would it be possible to use a crack for a program installed with wine on ubuntu? [18:40] BlitzerHound: "crack"? [18:41] PipeItToDevNull: yeah, it would explain things [18:41] BlitzerHound, We like FOSS, not pirating [18:41] !illegal | BlitzerHound [18:41] BlitzerHound: piracy discussion and other questionably legal practices are not welcome in the Ubuntu channels. Please take this discussion elsewhere or abstain from it altogether. This includes linking to pirated software, music, and video. Also see !guidelines and !o4o [18:41] he means cocaine in rock form [18:41] Oh. :/ My bad. [18:42] That would probably not be a very legal discussion either Ronald lmao [18:42] ih [18:43] So I was using WINE the other day and I accidentally made it pop up this little window that looked like a windows desktop. Does anyone know the command to do that manually? [18:43] what's gonna happen when ubuntu deprecates unity? [18:43] vogt: Gnome or KDE [18:43] vogt: officially Gnome [18:43] vogt: but you can install other Gnome forks like Mate, or KDE [18:43] vogt, Unity is being forked to a community project called Yunit, Ubuntu will switch to a Gnome DE [18:44] vogt: happen in what way? unity will be put in the universe repo and some community teams want to see if they can maintain it. [18:44] faugusztin but gnome doesn't have a lot of stuff like Super+W for expose, or showing toolbar on the top of the screen [18:44] neither it has compiz and all of its features [18:44] vogt: as certain politician would say: "SAD!". but that is pretty much all we can do about it :) [18:45] are you going to add those features to gnome? [18:45] What's the channel for wine stuff again? [18:45] !wine [18:45] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [18:45] BlitzerHound: #winehq [18:45] Thanks [18:45] vogt: this is the wrong channel to ask about adding features [18:45] vogt: this is the user support channel [18:45] vogt, so work at making the gnome-shell extensions to do that and push it to gnome [18:46] vogt: the target for gnome-shell as standard desktop is 18.04. so we still have some time to figure out [18:46] it'd be nice to keep what makes unity great :3 [18:46] vogt: there are forming community teams trying to keep unity in the repos, yes. [18:47] vogt: are you referring to unity8 specifically? because unity7 will stay as-is [18:47] vogt: just not the default (afaict) [18:47] vogt, https://github.com/yunit-io/yunit [18:47] how can i know what version of unity i have? [18:48] ubuntu 16.04 bluetooth symbol and connection offline [18:48] vogt: the regular desktop is unity7 [18:48] vogt: unity os on 16.04 - and is a LTS release . 16.04 (unity) will be supported 'til 2019 . We have lots of time to figure things out :) [18:48] vogt: unity8 is a tech preview, you would have to hvae installed it [18:48] vogt: unity --version [18:48] ahh i see! === aglemrov is now known as Nery [18:48] vogt: if you don't know, then you are probably on unity7 [18:48] i'll find a way to install it to check itout then [18:48] vogt: and that will work as long as xorg works [18:48] bluetooth is dead [18:48] ubuntu 16.04 [18:48] vogt: there's no point in installing unity8, imo [18:48] vogt: i mean, you can i guess but it won't really show you anything that you'll actually see in 18.04 as it will be, if that's your intent [18:49] tapanik: try sudo hciconfig hci0 down && sudo hciconfig hci0 up [18:49] nacc i see, i won't then [18:50] can't wait to see how ubuntu's implementation of gnome looks like [18:50] vogt: ... you can already? [18:50] vogt, they won't change a thing [18:50] vogt: just run gnome ubuntu as it is now [18:50] vogt, it's gonna be vanilla gnome shell [18:50] vogt: gnome3 in 17.04 is slick . [18:50] oh [18:50] vogt: probably not much different than default gnome … [18:50] "cant get device info" [18:50] i thought it would be customized [18:50] no such device [18:51] vogt: no, it won't be [18:51] vogt, nope [18:51] like, the effort that was currently going to improve unity, is not moving to gnome? [18:51] vogt: well, there's (probably) still gonna be the gtk+ theme and stuff … [18:51] Bashing-om: 2019 ? Isn't Ubuntu LTS Support a 5 year thing ? [18:51] Or is that abandoned now too? [18:51] Bashing-om: thus 2016.04 + 5 = 2021.04 ? [18:51] yeah, 2021, faugusztin [18:52] I think I read that the ubuntu's gnome3 will be customized to fit the OS [18:52] faugusztin: Uh huh .. my bad -- correct to be 2021 . :) [18:52] You were probably doing the math from 14.04 :) [18:52] compdoc: no, you can read mark's blog posts for details [18:52] compdoc, not according to mark shuttleworth https://plus.google.com/+MarkShuttleworthCanonical/posts/7LYubpaHUHH [18:58] not sure where it says it in that url, but does mention integration and experience. anyway, not for this channel, I suppose [18:59] compdoc, read his comments below === coffeeguy is now known as e-coffee === e-coffee is now known as coffeeguy === coffeeguy is now known as zenguy [19:07] does anyone have a working example of a preseed configuration that installs the OS to a disk that is not /dev/sda?

In component universe, is optional. Version 0.20140714build1 (yakkety), package size 2 kB, installed size 8 kB [19:38] I'm trying to fix a broken keymap for a specific device (it maps a specialty key to "b") but I'm having trouble with the udev rules. According to the docs I found, the new way doesn't apply to udev 204 (which 14.04 LTS has), but my system is missing the /lib/udev/keymap binary that wasn't supposed to be removed until 205 brought the new mechanism. Any advice? [19:40] (I already tried remapping it in the XKB layer, but X11 seems to be confused into thinking it's a pointer that produces keypresses by the fact that the generic Chinese components advertise a bunch of USB HID capabilities that aren't actually wired up to anything.) [19:40] hmm? [19:41] It's a USB foot pedal that should be producing something like XF86PlayPause, but produces "b" instead, and I can't get XKB-level remapping to work... possibly because xinput sees it as a pointer rather than a keyboard... which I assume is because of the forest of phantom capabilities evtest reports it "supporting". [19:54] hi anyone here? how can i install ubuntu on dell xps with uefi enabled and windows 10 preinstalled? when i try to install it from liveusb, the main hard drive is not listed. [19:56] sorry for spaming. i got disconnected. here's the question: hi anyone here? how can i install ubuntu on dell xps with uefi enabled and windows 10 preinstalled? when i try to install it from liveusb, the main hard drive is not listed. [19:56] Ugh. I wish people would stick around for answers. The most likely answer is that he needs to go into the BIOS and switch the hard drive controller from Intel RAID to AHCI mode. [19:56] dell822: is the hard disk encrypted [19:56] ikonia [19:56] nop [19:56] dell822: is the drive in gpt mode? or msdos mode? [19:56] i decrypted it in windows 10 [19:56] i couldn't shrink the partition without doing that [19:56] i then managed to shrink the partition, so i could install ubuntu on it [19:56] but to no avail [19:56] dell822: "sudo gparted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" [19:56] !UEFI | dell469 did you disabled fast boot and turned off windows properly? [19:56] dell469 did you disabled fast boot and turned off windows properly?: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:56] dell822: So it is an encypted drive [19:56] it still doesn't show in the installation screen [19:57] dell822~ you need to take the disk out of raid mode in bios [19:57] dell822: yes, cgundersson got a good point, ahci mode works, "intel"raid mode doesnt [19:57] (due to no linux drivers available) [19:57] aaa [19:57] ok [19:57] Modern laptops with Intel chipsets default to a special hard drive controller mode designed to use a special Intel driver that's more power-efficient than Microsoft's built-in AHCI driver. [19:57] i know that it's in raid mode [19:58] maybe that will help [19:58] Is the cron syntax correct, on the example in part 7? https://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror_p2 [19:58] dell822~ what k1l said :) [19:58] should i also disable secure boot? [19:58] Unfortunately, Linux doesn't have a built-in driver for this "Intel RAID" mode either. [19:58] dell822~ note that windows 10 will be unable to boot when you do that [19:58] it won't find the disk [19:59] if i disable secure boot or if i change from raid to ahci? [19:59] so wither you switch to UHCI and reinstall everything, or you need to turn raid on/off between boots [19:59] raid to ahci [19:59] hm... damn :P [20:00] Really? I hadn't heard that about Windows 10. What does it do on AMD-based machines then? [20:00] well, i just entered bios, turned raid on again and booted into win 10 [20:00] ymmv [20:01] cgundersson: i am not that sure, if that counts for all mainboards and windows installs. i think it might be changed to ahci and windows still works. [20:02] k1l~ well, it didn't work for me but might for others [20:05] anybody knows how do change default file manager for applications [20:05] every application wants nautilus [20:23] umm, I think I just pretty much removed everything from file manager to hexchat with one command [20:23] can I undo apt-get remove somehow? :D [20:23] omenius: What command did you run? [20:24] apt-get remove glib2.0 [20:24] undo apt-get remove > apt-get install [20:24] OerHeks: That isn't likely to work here, since installing glib2.0 won't install things that depend on it. [20:24] ^ [20:25] omenius: Do you have the listing of what it was removing still in your terminal? [20:25] ChaiTRex, really? that is what install -f is for, fixing dependencies [20:25] OerHeks: Yes, things that the library depends on, not things that depend on the library. [20:25] omnigoat: RIP, go for reinstall [20:26] ChaiTRex: Nah, it's not in history.. :/ [20:26] OerHeks: i think ChaiTRex means that removing glib2.0 and saying yes to what depending on it being removed won't make those things come back by reinstalling just the thing you removed === evilmquin is now known as mquin [20:26] omenius: right, you'd need to basically 'undo' what /var/log/apt/history.log said [20:26] yeah, you would have to parse by hand what you have uninstalled [20:27] omenius: not terminal history, but apt's history [20:27] nacc: niiice, I found the list [20:28] lol, my desktop environment is there :qq [20:28] I've got to remember that log file. I only use it once in a blue moon. [20:29] I find it fun that all the software (except filemanager) kept still running and I got a chance to come here :D [20:29] for passwordless ssh setup... i keep seeing "ssh-keygen -t rsa..." for the setup. is it possible to use "ssh-keygen -t ecdsa ..." for the setup? if so, are we suppose to set a password or not? (the password is only for the secret, not the pub, right?) [20:30] synthetiq: I think that'll work. Setting a password is recommended to avoid people stealing the key file and using it. [20:32] synthetiq: Oh, and the password is only for the private key, yes. [20:33] ChaiTRex, thanks! i just wanted to make sure that when i copy over the pub to the other computer it wouldn't ask for that set password. kinda negates the point of 'passwordless ssh' . thanks again, i'll give it a try! [20:34] synthetiq: Your end will ask for the password to use the key. [20:34] synthetiq: If you want to completely avoid bothering with the entry of a password, don't put a password on your key. [20:42] hi all. I'm not getting able to resolve DNS on any webpage when any VPN is connected... not sure why. I have tried 2 completely different VPNs. I have no DNS issues when I disconnect the VPN [20:43] where to even start? [20:43] this did the trick, without doing it by hand (there is >100 packages): https://paste.ubuntu.com/24356664/ [20:43] found it from ubuntuask [20:43] synthetiq: look into "keychain" (http://www.funtoo.org/Keychain), which greatly diminishes the pain of key-based authentication. [20:44] synthetiq: it's in the main ubuntu repositories as well === mint_ is now known as texla [20:45] now it's like I never f*ckd up [20:45] (: === dino is now known as Guest19567 [20:49] nicomachus: depending on how your vpn is configured, you're probably tunneling dns requests as well. are you sure that service is reachable from your vpn endpoint? [20:50] sipior: should be. but I have tried two different VPN services, which makes me think it's a problem on my end. [20:50] I tried both PIA and NordVPN [20:51] nicomachus: but have you confirmed that they are in fact reachable? [20:51] yes? what do you mean by reachable? [20:51] nicomachus: you can make a dns request and they answer back [20:51] I get a resolution error [20:52] nicomachus: use the ip address and see if you can connect. try "dig google.com @" [20:54] sipior: like this? https://paste.ubuntu.com/24356744/ [20:54] nicomachus: yep. [20:55] that was with NordVPN connected. but I still couldn't resolve a webpage [20:55] nicomachus: check to see what's in your /etc/resolv.conf. [20:56] nameserver 127.0.1.1 [20:57] nicomachus: try editing that line to point to the nameserver you want. restart your browser and give it a go. [20:57] like, to google or another DNS? [20:58] nicomachus: whatever you want. [20:58] (fyi, networking is NOT my forte) [20:59] sipior: I'm able to resolve now. [21:00] is that going to be over-written though? [21:00] nicomachus: yes. now you need to ensure that that file is set correctly when establishing the tunnel [21:00] ok [21:01] hi [21:01] if I have several files with same base name but different extension can I rename them all like this? mv basename.* differentbasename.* [21:01] nicomachus: nordvpn has some pretty extensive tutorials; should get you up and running. [21:01] marvin3: No. Use the `rename` command. [21:01] marvin3: I'm not sure of how exactly you'd use it for that, but `man rename` should help. [21:01] nicomachus: they seem to have a config file you can feed to network manager [21:02] marvin3: no, that doesnt work [21:07] sipior: that's how I set it up. I think the issue might be ipv6 leaking. sound plausible?

[21:09] Hello [21:09] well then thanks. [21:10] hello boubl [21:10] So I installed Ubuntu 16.04 yesterday and I'm finding that today after returning home I cannot log in and ubuntu cannot detect my display settings [21:11] I'm not in non-graphical mode, how can i connect to my wireless network in order to install tdm? [21:11] now in* [21:14] well my problem is appearing during the installation of ubuntu on my computer. i have a windows 7 laptop, not in its best condition but working. unfortunally windows doesn't work at all,won't even load until login. but i can access all my files using a bootable usb with a linux dist on it. now i want to install ubunto on my computer. i downloaded ubuntu desktop amd64 and installed it on a usb with unetbootin [21:14] or what its called. but after booting it, it gave me error warnings right away and didnt even let me reach the installation process. same prob with a dvd. [21:14] boubl: First, find out your wireless device by typing `iwlist ', then pressing Tab twice to get the interface name. [21:15] boubl: Then, try something here: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=connect+to+wifi+command+line+ubuntu replacing wlan0 with the proper interface name. [21:15] I already have the device name, I probably should've mentioned that [21:15] it's wlx502b73dc1709 [21:16] boubl: This looks good: http://askubuntu.com/a/461831/616451 [21:16] Ah, thanks. I never found that one before! [21:16] boubl: You're welcome. [21:16] I'll see if it works and report back if there are any issues [21:19] Keamy: The first thing to try is a RAM test. Use memtest86+ (available, I think, on an Ubuntu install DVD/USB drive) and let it run for several hours to see if you get any errors. The second thing to test is the hard drive. Choose to try Ubuntu without installing it from an install DVD/USB drive, run gnome-disks (Disks application), hamburger menu, SMART, do a long test. [21:19] Keamy: If the RAM or hard drive are bad, replace and try installing again. [21:20] Alright, thanks again. By the way, could my Nvidia Driver be the cause behind why I am unable to log in on ubuntu? [21:20] Keamy: If you can't get to either test, I'm not sure what I'd do then. [21:21] boubl: It's sometimes that. [21:21] boubl: What happens when you try to log in at the GUI (or does it not let you try)? [21:21] boubl: yes. what happend before you cant login? [21:23] It gets stuck in a loop and sends me back to log in, occasionally it does allow me to log in and then proceeds to say that I have to set my display settings manually [21:23] however I have no control and have to reset my system [21:24] also, I reinstalled gdm and that hasn't fixed anything [21:24] boubl: Here's the main Ask Ubuntu question for that problem if reinstalling or switching the drivers or whatever doesn't work: https://askubuntu.com/questions/223501/ubuntu-gets-stuck-in-a-login-loop [21:24] boubl: did you just install the nvidia driver? was there an issue? [21:25] boubl: there are several possible issues, depending on what you did before. that is why i asked [21:25] I'm back in non-graphical mode, are there any steps I should take to troubleshoot the problem? [21:26] boubl: What were the things you were doing shortly before it broke? Did you change graphics drivers? Did you update your system? Did you use sudo with a GUI application? [21:27] I was installing the wine windows layer last night, along with vlc. [21:27] I also installed my driver from a binary I downloaded off the Nvidia Website, if that helps any [21:28] why that? [21:28] ubuntu ships nvidia drivers in the repos [21:28] Yeah, I forgot about that, I only realized aftewards [21:29] Yeah, always check the repos, since the software there is fixed to more likely work on Ubuntu, plus you get easy upgrades and bug fixes with "apt update; apt full-upgrade". [21:29] Ah, okay [21:29] Is there a way to uninstall the nvidia driver then? [21:30] boubl: sudo apt purge nvidia* [21:30] Oh, plus uninstall is easy ;) [21:31] I tried purgng it and I got "Package 'nvidia' is not installed so not removed" [21:31] If that doesn't work, http://askubuntu.com/a/729987/616451 is telling me `sudo nvidia-uninstall` [21:31] Wait, nevermind [21:31] I got it [21:32] I'm rebooting now [21:33] Okay, nevermind. I think my powersupply just went kaput .-.

Using Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity). So, I've used Unity Tweak tool and Compiz to try and make my Panel completely transparent (the bar itself, not the icons within it) but it has a habit of randomly turning opaque again even after I readjust the options to make it completely transparent. I'm not sure why it's doing this and I would greatly appreciate any help. [22:20] In Compiz manager, panel opacity is set to 0.0000 and the background color has opacity set to 1 (which is the method used to make it completely trasparent), however even after readjusting and fixing BOTH of these values, it won't go completely transparent like it's supposed to. I don't know what the deal is all of a sudden. [22:21] Even if someone could tell me where the config file for the panel is located, that would be a huge help. [22:21] israphial: It's probably in gsettings or something. [22:23] I just randomly disconnected lol. If anyone answered my question, could you please copy paste it again? I'm israphial. [22:24] isr: It's probably in gsettings or something. [22:24] gsettings? [22:25] israphial: when u say all of a sudden, it worked ok before? [22:25] oh [22:26] ok [22:26] Yes, as far as I noticed it did. [22:26] did you update graphics [22:26] ChaiTRex: yeah i followed instructions on portforward.com [22:26] since when it worked ok [22:26] I'm wondering if compiz's settings don't carry over boots or something...? [22:26] isr: Yes, it stors settings for a lot of things. [22:26] No, no recent updates. [22:26] still somthing is blocking incoming on22 [22:27] isr: Perhaps `gsettings list org.compiz.unityshell:/` to see various options [22:27] isr: Perhaps launcher-opacity or panel-opacity under that. [22:28] I've never used gsettings, I have no idea what that is. I did gsettings list org.compiz.unityshell/ and it returned a syntax error. [22:28] isr: You need the colon. [22:29] Oh, I didn't see that there lol [22:29] isr: You can see the current value of, say launcher-opacity, with: gsettings get org.compiz.unityshell:/ launcher-opacity [22:29] isr: See if that changes when you change the opacity [22:29] isr: whenever i update my grpahics, unity tweak tool has a heart attack and crashes unity for me. so everytime i upgrade graphics drivers, i have done: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ && dpkg-reconfigure unity-tweak-tool [22:29] Still didn't work. @ChaiTRex [22:29] Ok I ran that and it is showing opacity. [22:30] gsettings is like, if youre familiar with windows, like the registry editor lol [22:30] isr: Now change the opacity and run it again [22:30] It returned a number of 0.6 (repeating). So something overwrote my settings. [22:30] isr: We don't yet know if that's the right setting. [22:30] isr: You have to change the setting and see if the gsettings get shows the change. [22:30] Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.27 seconds [22:30] Raw packets sent: 4 (152B) | Rcvd: 0 (0B) [22:31] Ok, hold. [22:31] It did change the number, however it changed it in a weird way. [22:31] So, before I changed anything in compiz, the number was... [22:32] 0.66669999999999996 [22:32] after changing opacity in compiz to 1, the number changed to... [22:33] Sorry, had a derp. The number did not change. [22:33] OK, try the following: gsettings monitor org.compiz.unityshell:/ [22:33] Before and after changing in compiz, the number is 0.66669999999999996. [22:33] That will show changes as they happen. [22:33] Perhaps another value will change [22:33] Run that, change the slider or whatever, watch what happens in the terminal. [22:33] K now you want me to mess with stuff? [22:33] ok [22:34] Messing with both of the settings did not make anything appear in the terminal. [22:34] I changed the opacity in panel opacity, then changed the opacity in background panel color. Neither caused a change in my terminal. [22:35] My hp spectre x360 has driver issues running 16.10/16.04. Thought of trying out Fedora 25 because of the newer kernel. Is it worth a shot? [22:35] So is there a way to change that 0.66669999999999996 number? Like a gsettings command I can run? [22:35] @ChaiTRex, [22:36] isr: Only if you can find the value that changes. [22:36] well the value appears to be called launcher-opacity. [22:37] So can we run something like... gsettings edit org.compiz.unityshell:/ 0.0 ? @ChaiTRex [22:37] isr: Found it. [22:37] isr: gsettings get org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-opacity [22:37] isr: From http://askubuntu.com/a/204240/616451 [22:37] It returned a number. 0.0 [22:38] isr: You can set it to transparent with: gsettings set org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ launcher-opacity 0 [22:39] Did nothing. [22:39] The panel is still dark translucent. [22:40] isr: By the panel, you mean on the left? [22:40] ok [22:40] idk if it's on the left by default but mine is on the top. It has the power button, time, wifi icon, etc. on it. It's a bar. [22:40] It's called the panel. [22:40] @ChaiTRex [22:41] isr: Ahh, OK. One moment. [22:41] ok [22:41] Thank you for helping me by the way ChaiTRex. [22:42] If you can figure out where the config file for this thing is, I can mess with it until I get it fully transparent, but my google searches have been so far useless. I just turn up stuff that either don't answer the question or aren't actually relevant to the question [22:42] isr: You're welcome. Here's for the notification bar at the top: gsettings set org.compiz.unityshell:/org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/ panel-opacity 0 [22:42] That also did nothing. [22:43] isr: Sorry, not sure then. [22:43] let me try sudoing it. [22:43] Didn't make a difference. @ChaiTRex [22:43] Weird huh? [22:44] isr: Yes, it seems odd.

I checked xinput but there's no mention of a touchscreen anywher [23:23] tried to go through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen but it doesn't seem to be any help [23:23] the screen /dev/ttySx input does not do anything for me unfortunately [23:24] please have a look at my question http://askubuntu.com/questions/903382/creating-directory-for-group-of-files-that-have-a-common-string-in-their-names [23:25] elisa, simple, select the 1st, hold shift and use arrow down [23:25] copy bla bla done [23:25] Hola [23:26] OerHeks: I want to do so using bash. It is like 30000 files! [23:26] elisa871: right so ask in a bash channel? [23:26] I did so [23:26] elisa871: you see to do this quite often -- ask a question on AU and then ask here [23:26] elisa871: i don't undrestand the point of doing both every time [23:27] elisa871: then be patient [23:27] elisa871: it's not a support question [23:27] In GNOME-terminal, URLs are highlighted but to open them I have to right click and select "Open link". Is there a way to click them (maybe along with a modifier key) to open them in one click? [23:27] hfp: ctrl + click iirc [23:28] cp frame1* /newdir [23:34] hfp, hold shift while clicking the url ?? [23:35] I would like to create a bunch of light weight virtual machines and run them on ubuntu. I would also like to create a local mirror of packages; but I don't want to create a "full archive" of packages. [23:36] I see apt-mirror; and I see that I can point it to things and download things; but what I need is just a "snapshot" of the current packages in a repository and what will "just work"; I'm not concerned with updates at this time. [23:37] cookiemunga: can you clarify (in order to understand better) why you are not concerned with updated? [23:37] Is there "one cohesive" document that describes how to do this? I can read things from multiple sources. It just seems like something somebody has probably put together in the past [23:37] nacc: The machines I will be installing this on do not have an internet connection. [23:38] So, I need to mirror a repository, then transfer the packages. [23:38] cookiemunga: a "snapshot" of the archive would be done with apt-mirror [23:38] apt-cacher only stores the packages you have installed before, iirc [23:38] OK. I don't want "old" packages; but I don't mind getting "everything" that would consist of a "snapshot" [23:39] cookiemunga: the network is completely isolated? [23:39] I'll read up on how to do that with apt-mirror. I'm just trying to save loads of download time (in case apt-mirror decides to download *all the packages* (old ones included) ) [23:39] The network doesn't even exist yet. [23:39] This is for a non-profit; they're trying to teach kids "computers" [23:40] I have experience working in large infrastructures, but with network connectivity :) [23:40] I have a bunch of shit desktops I want to install lxde on [23:40] cookiemunga: honestly, if it were me I'd probably figure out the packages that they want installed and use !offline to get them [23:40] and then have their home directories mount an NFS share [23:41] !offline | cookiemunga [23:41] cookiemunga: If you need to download Ubuntu packages using another machine or OS, check the desired packages in Synaptic and select File > Generate package download script. See also !APTonCD [23:42] OK; so, long story short; I'll read the docs. [23:44] I forgot my password. How do I reset it without having the root account active? [23:45] !password | k12 [23:45] k12: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [23:47] This seems to be precicesly what I want: [23:47] http://askubuntu.com/questions/531403/how-to-download-all-repository-using-apt-get [23:47] It's not quite a "mirror" , but it's close. [23:49] nac, OerHeks: Yes it's Ctrl+click, thanks! [23:49] hfp: yw
