Then I logged off. Naturally I am now locked out with ssh. [01:07] cheers [01:07] 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 [01:07] 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. [01:08] Guest75290: You do not say - but do you have physical access to the server ? [01:09] no, i have built it on EC2 [01:10] Keamy: Show the channel on a pastebin ' sudo parted -l ' . let's see if there are partitions available for ubuntu to install to . [01:14] Guest75290: you might ask in #ubuntu-server as well, but do you have any access to a 'console' from aws tooling? [01:15] i have no idea about that since i am new to ec2 [01:16] Guest75290: if you are new to ec2, can you just trash your instance and start a new one? and don't make that mistake? :) [01:16] bashing-om well i planned to overwrite all existing data during installation.. but it fails during the main installation. [01:17] Keamy: Still of interest is ' parted -l ' and also now 'sudo fdisk -lu ' .

[04:08] i'm getting an odd permission error when trying to start darkice (an audio streamer) via sudo. the strace output contains the following lines: [04:08] stat("/home/heywood", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 [04:09] getuid() = 0 [04:09] write(2, "Home directory not accessible: P"..., 49Home directory not accessible: Permission denied [04:09] ) = 49 [04:09] any idea how i might troubleshoot that? [04:14] heywood: why are you running it with sudo [04:15] Ben64: for this particular application, darkice needs POSIX real-time scheduling. thus it needs to run as root. (i've been running it that way for several years on an older Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box without any issues.) [04:16] heywood: what do you mean by that [04:16] Folks, what do you think about the canonical announcement to drop unity desktop in next LTS? [04:17] Ben64: this stream needs to be as skip-free as possible. running as root runs the process at a (much?) higher priority, so the stream doesn't skip. running as non-root causes dropouts. [04:17] darkice itself says as much if you start it without sudo: [04:17] Could not set POSIX real-time scheduling, this may cause recording skips. [04:17] Try to run darkice as the super-user. [04:17] heywood: you can change priority on a process not run by root [04:19] alwan: I was happy to hear they were switching to xmonad. [04:20] my usb ports stopped working... kern.log: https://paste.linux.community/view/4f3e2ecd [04:20] Any advice besides rebooting? [04:21] Any description of what's happening f [04:21] In the log? [04:23] Ben64: if you're talking about re-nicing the process, then yes, i'm aware of that. i don't understand the low-level POSIX scheduling stuff at all, but i do know that the application for which i'm using darkice (streaming audio to a liveatc server) explicitly recommends running with sudo. [04:24] running things as root is a Bad Idea™ [04:25] anyway, that part isn't the problem. there's something weird going on with file/directory permissions. if i do sudo su, then launch darkice from the root prompt, i don't get the "Home directory not accessible" error. but if i run darkice as myself (regular user), but via sudo, i get the error. i'm totally confused by why this happens. [04:25] well you should never sudo su [04:25] and the problems are probably from your cavalier use of sudo [04:26] the only reason i mention sudo su is that it is the only way i can invoke darkice without generating that permission error. if i just run it as sudo, i get the error. i don't understand that at all. [04:26] right, but using sudo su is wrong in every case [04:27] and if by "cavalier" you mean "following the explicit instructions of the developers of a widely-used audio streamer," then… yeah, i guess i'm being cavalier. [04:28] any idea why running it via sudo su doesn't trigger that error, but running it by just sudo does? [04:28] because you screwed up things by using sudo improperly [04:29] how do you mean. are you suggesting that some file or directory's permissions got corrupted? [04:30] what's that meta-package that installs all of the bareminimum building packages? [04:31] for gcc and stuff [04:31] more to the point, if i'm using sudo improperly, as you say, then how would you suggest invoking darkice correctly? [04:31] vuild-essentuails or something like that [04:31] build [04:33] heywood: i'd run it as my user, and renice it [04:33] hi, i added a network drive to my box via "online accounts" and the drive was hanging while loading contents [04:34] soon i could not open any directories with the GUI so i shutdown my box. now when i start it up, it freezes during boot at "[OK] Started User Manager for UID 132 [04:35] i can still boot into recovery mode [04:36] ThePortWhisperer: what os are you running [04:36] its debian..when i googled the only folks with same issue were on ubuntu [04:37] then you need to ask in #debian [04:38] hi [04:39] whats the channel for developers? [04:39] ThePortWhisperer: oh you screwed up now you should've lied and said ubuntu. Then when they asked you what version you say 8.04 Jessie's Sauce [04:39] lol [04:39] yeah i dont think distro matters here anyways, ubuntu users get the same thing === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [04:40] cfoch-always: #ubuntu-devel === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [04:41] ThePortWhisperer: do you think the network drive GUI depends on......................the DE system? [04:41] Ben64: i can certainly try that. as built, darkice runs with priority 4. i don't know how close to -20 it needs to be to be sufficiently skip-free, but i can do a bit of trial and error. thanks.

[04:43] heywood: as for your sudo problem, step 1 - don't use 'sudo su' ever, step 2.... does this return anything? "find ~ \! -user $USER -print" [04:44] is there some project related to GNOME (particular of Ubuntu) I can contribute to? [04:44] ThePortWhisperer: only ubuntu can't you read the channel name!

[04:47] samba server/service/daemon [04:47] ubuntu is good at having that installed by default [04:47] because EVERYONE has a samba server connected to their computer, right Ben64?..........right?

[04:48] You know I used to play Body Harvest 64 [04:49] The best game on Nintendo 64 [04:50] why is ubuntu so far behind on irssi versions? [04:50] !latest | raj [04:50] raj: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [04:50] apt-get gave me 0.8.19 [04:50] 1.0 is available [04:51] raj: you got me beat my repositories on 0.8.15 [04:52] raj: basically Ubuntu only releases security updates. Like Firefox every update is almost always a security one, so Ubuntu always has the latest firefox. [04:55] However my gparted still crashes when creating a fat32, but even then, Ubuntu keeps it at its version.........................................................so that's one of the plus sides of using windows. because then you can just uninstall and reinstall software that doesn't exist on Windows.

[05:39] domgetter, doesnt matter. you are using an OS that is not supported here. use your OS support options or install ubuntu [05:40] It isn't actually, but repos. [05:42] Well, plus that's the name of the source package, not the binary. [05:42] krytarik I'm a newbie about this sort of stuff. Do you have any resources that might point me in the right direction? [05:43] Was I wrong in assuming that if that webpage had that listed as a "package", that I could use aptitude to install it? [05:43] Assuming I was on Ubuntu [05:43] mint is not ubunu, so that assumption was wrong, yes [05:44] domgetter, dude. you are NOT using ubuntu. we will NOT suppport you here [05:44] The package in xenial is named efl according to that page [05:44] !info efl [05:44] Package efl does not exist in yakkety [05:44] Hm. !info doesn't include universe packages? [05:44] geirha: No, you're just wrong. [05:45] cfhowlett I changed my question to assume I was using Ubuntu [05:46] domgetter, install ubuntu. then we talk. === uhhf1 is now known as uhhf [05:46] Oh, right, the binary packages are listed further down. I misread. [05:48] Okay I'm on an Ubuntu 14.04 box now. [05:49] Prove it. >_> [05:49] 14.04 is too old [05:49] But supported still. [05:49] " This channel supports: Ubuntu and its official flavors, versions 12.04, 14.04, 16.04, 16.10 " [05:50] krytarik fine. what do you need? [05:50] domgetter, lsb_release -a | pastebinit [05:50] too old for efl, which was introduced for vivid [05:50] Right. [05:51] cfhowlett: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24359127/ [05:52] Or in Utopic really. [05:52] I'm guessing e17 is the predecessor [05:53] So was I wrong in assuming that if that webpage had that listed as a "package", that I could use aptitude to install it? [05:53] aptitude has been deprecated for years now ... [05:54] cfhowlett I thought that was the full name for apt-get. Sorry if I'm getting things wrong [05:55] domgetter, apt-get also deprecated. use apt e.g. apt install packagename [05:55] That's not quite the case either. [05:55] apt-get should be preferred for non-interactive use [05:56] So was I wrong in assuming that if that webpage had that listed as a "package", that I could use apt to install it? [05:56] domgetter, if the package is a .deb, install with apt. [05:56] so I take it neither are officially deprecated, which is good, because aptitude is the best apt frontend I know of [05:57] cfhowlett I don't know enough to know if you've answered my question [05:57] domgetter, does the package name end in .deb? then apt is your app [05:58] cfhowlett: If I'm getting "E: Unable to locate package efl" does that mean that the package name doesn't end in .deb? === MasterScript is now known as zz_MasterScript [05:59] domgetter, more likely the package name is off. [05:59] So when I read this page: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efl Where do I look for the "package name"? [05:59] !find efl [05:59] Found: efl-dbg, efl-doc, eflite, golang-github-mitchellh-reflectwalk-dev, golang-github-oleiade-reflections-dev, libfest-reflect-java, libgecodeflatzinc41v5, libghc-reflection-dev, libghc-reflection-doc, libghc-reflection-prof (and 14 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=efl&searchon=names&suite=yakkety§ion=all [05:59] domgetter: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcepub/6091379/+listing-archive-extra this shows information for efl in xenial. The packages listed under built packages are the ones you could've installed with apt if you were on xenial (ubuntu 16.04) === zz_MasterScript is now known as MasterScript [05:59] If you dont have the repositories you cant apt-get [06:00] domgetter, looks like there's no package with the name efl [06:00] cfhowlett: ooooo good call I always keep forgetting about apt and using `apt-get` all of the time. `apt-get` still works 90% of the time I guess anyways so.....*shrugs* [06:01] Awesomecase, it's all same same [06:01] if no .deb just compile it from the source [06:02] ... "just" ... :) [06:02] cfhowlett: that is true true [06:02] I'm obviously missing something very fundamental here. Is the link I provided *not* a listing of a package? [06:02] domgetter: source package [06:02] Even though it says "efl pachage in Ubuntu"? [06:03] Ancer: or with firefox you just download the .tar.bz2, extract, and run. [06:03] geirha okay I don't know what that means or what the difference is. Is there somewhere I can read up on that/ === shawn is now known as Guest51271 [06:03] domgetter, source package means apt-get source package_name [06:03] domgetter: See the last link, it shows the actual binary packages built from the efl sources [06:04] domgetter, your page shows multiple hits for "efl" in the ubuntu package universe. for the efl package specifically, I think you want https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efl/1.8.6-2.5 [06:05] I've tried everything to get my laptop to not suspend when the lid is closed but no matter what I do, it always suspends. Anyone know how to solve this? Ubuntu 16.04 [06:06] any suggestions of console IRC client alternative to irssi ? except weechat [06:07] ClydeSlims: what is in your cat /etc/acpi/events/default ? [06:07] hi everyone [06:07] Alright, well thank you for all your patience, everyone. [06:08] I still don't understand how to install this thing, but I guess I learned that there's a difference between packages and source packages, though I don't know what that difference is [06:10] thereyougo, there's no default [06:11] cfhowlett do you have any suggestions about where I should go to ask about installing your last link? [06:13] domgetter, actually, if download the .gz file and double click, it will extract. there's an install link inside [06:13] with instructions to compile from source [06:14] cfhowlett alright, thank you [06:14] domgetter, happy2help! [06:15] Hah. Why..? [06:19] I've tried everything to get my laptop to not suspend when the lid is closed but no matter what I do, it always suspends. Anyone know how to solve this? Ubuntu 16.04 [06:23] ClydeSlims: You realize that without telling us what all you tried, no one can make any suggestion? :P [06:24] krytarik, I've tried manually setting it from the power settings, editing logind.conf, editing UPower.conf [06:24] I'm out of ideas [06:25] nothing works. Every time I close the lid, it always suspends. [06:30] You might share any details regarding the exact instructions, your execution of them.. and well I guess we know the result of each. :) [06:33] I've tried editing UPower.Conf and setting IgnoreLid=true, editing /etc/systemd/logind.conf and setting HandleLidSwitch=ignore, and also manually editing the power settings and setting 'Lid closed' to 'Do nothing'. Nothing seems to work, it always suspends the laptop when I close the lid. [06:33] krytarik, that's what I did. [06:49] In 16.04 is there some quirk or change that would cause problems with ip's showing instead of dns? I only ask here because i tried both nginx/apache and they both do it after install. === _KaszpiR__ is now known as _KaszpiR_ [06:51] skits: not sure what you mean [06:57] skits: sudo netstat -taupWe --numeric-ports [06:57] skits: sudo netstat -taupWe [06:57] I setup a new 1604 droplet(several times) All times I used either a lemp or a lamp setup. I forwarded my domains and did the config/vhost setup each time. Domain names bring me to the correct place but will not show the domain name. It shows the public ip of the server instead. I did a 14.04 setup to confirm and it works fine there. [06:58] skits: the second one should show you the domains [06:58] skits: `man netstat` === Billy_The_Kid is now known as battalgazi [06:59] skits: where exactly do you want these "domain names" to show up versus the "ip addresses" [06:59] ? [06:59] netstat shows you your open ports [06:59] Just browser url [06:59] and connections [06:59] listening udp servers/daemons [07:00] skits: `cat /etc/hosts` [07:00] I actually don't care about helping, I'm just guessing wildly that these suggestions might help === Tsunami is now known as Guest12629 === violet is now known as Guest71642 === Guest71642 is now known as violet [07:22] Hi! I have a text file with lots of timestamps in the form of ts:1491895192 that I want to convert to readable time. There are other places with ten digits that shouldn't be converted so it should only change ten digits that come directly after a "ts:" string. What's the best way to do this? [07:23] Gjerber: While I would like to know the answer to that as well, this channel is for ubuntu support [07:24] Oh sorry, I thought it could be for more general Linux questions. I wil find a better place for that question! [07:24] Gjerber, look for "unix timestamp to readable time", time.strftime should do something according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3682748/converting-unix-timestamp-string-to-readable-date-in-python [07:26] ... === Orphis_ is now known as Orphis [07:32] Text files without encryption!!! get that shit gziped and rethink life. This is #linux, this is not the junior varsity, this is the varsity league. [07:33] Oh no this is #ubuntu! [07:33] shoot! [07:33] But still, #ubuntu is varsity too. [07:34] we're all like the NSA and CIA and Naval warfare research facilities deep underground. [07:37] So there are two different Ubuntu machines on my network. I'd like to share folders on one and mount them on the other - so, basically, mount a network filesystem. I think the most OBVIOUS way to do this is Samba as a Windows share, but are there others? [07:38] _yeeve: imo the most obvious way is nfs [07:38] nfs :o [07:38] * Volund investigates [07:38] very easy to set up. [07:39] Yeah Samba is really only if you have to access Windows and you want Windows to interface to Linux. While that would work with 2 linuxes...... blah I don't care. === mrtee is now known as mael [07:53] Hey there, quick question. Yesterday my WiFi was working perfectly fine, rebooted several times and the network manager widget was always there. Then when I turn it on this morning it doesn't show up anymore. What can I do to fix this [07:54] I already tried restarting network manager and rebooting but nothing works [07:54] I connected my usb WiFi card and it still doesn't show up === CRogers_________ is now known as CRogers [08:08] um [08:08] hello [08:08] hellooooo [08:09] Hi [08:09] um, hi [08:09] im new [08:09] Me too [08:09] i would have a question [08:09] :-) [08:09] do someone know how to personalize the ubuntu mate desktop [08:09] ? === me is now known as Guest10008 [08:10] !info mate-tweak [08:10] ???

[08:13] umm [08:13] ok then [08:13] r_dudau: the bot linked you already known linux theme websites. you just need to choose one you like.

[09:47] is this a fresh installation of ubuntu? did you add any PPAs? [09:48] Maybe the cause is that I installed ubuntu 14.04 first (minimal, no additional ppa's) and then upgraded to 16.04 [09:48] k1l, This tool "Whois" I installed to ubuntu.. It gives same notice everytime I do a whois. I guess this text is somewhere inside the tool files. I just wondered if anyone knows how to delete that line. So result will be only the dates. [09:50] Skyrider: check the output "apt-cache policy" and see if anything is pointing to trusty (14.04) [09:50] hello. i'm installing ubuntu on my mom's old somewhat slow laptop (2gb mem). should i choose ubuntu desktop, mate, or gnome? i'm installing 16.10 [09:50] i heard they will switch to gnome at some point anywya, so maybe it's better to get ubuntu gnome desktop? [09:50] talin, lubuntu or xubuntu [09:51] Guess I was wrong.. mongodb ppa added, but that's about it. rest of the url's point towards xenial [09:51] cfhowlett: that's lxde/kde, right? [09:51] talin, lxde / xfce4 [09:51] cfhowlett: hmm, i have a feeling they might not be as userfriendly and standard? i use debian myself, so i have no idea, really [09:52] talin, why would you say that? xubuntu and lubuntu are official ubuntu flavors [09:52] Skyrider: check "apt-cache policy php-fpm" and "apt-cache policy php7-fpm" [09:53] cfhowlett: ah, okay. i'll check them out, thank you [09:53] happy2help! [09:53] Skyrider: other than that, can you please share the whole terminal output of the conflict?

[09:57] Skyrider: I think this output is fine [09:58] ducasse, it's a fairly mediocre copy of Kali Linux [09:58] ah. [09:58] caine, wrong channel. caine is not ubuntu and is not supported here. [09:58] caine: then you need to get support from them, we only support ubuntu. [10:01] Hi all. I'm running 16.10, and lately every time I get packages updates - the process freezes towards the end of it and never finishes. When I run _apt update_ then I get lock errors. Any ideas?

[10:02] https://pastebin.com/1bggtLNV [10:03] cfhowlett: what about ubuntu mate, i've read good things about it [10:03] Talin, why don't you try them out in an emulator? :p [10:03] talin, never used it myself so no opinion. [10:05] talin: the base of all these is exactly the same, if she doesn't like a particular desktop you can just install one of the others. [10:06] ducasse: aah, okay. nice [10:06] i think i will try out mate and then switch if she doesn't like it [10:06] Skyrider: only have one laptop, which is the one i'm mid-install [10:06] talin: every single one of them is in the repos [10:10] talin, install ONE *buntu. then install the Desktop Environments. you can select DE's at login time. [10:11] h [10:12] l [10:12] I am discovering that X is being replaced by Wayland or Mir, I use X to display ubuntu windows on Microsoft WIndows computers via SSh + a X server. Is there any Mir or Wayland server for microsoftwindows already? [10:13] !wayland [10:13] Wayland is a display server protocol that is intended to replace X. More information can be found at http://wayland.freedesktop.org/ . Ubuntu is instead focusing on development of !Mir; see its factoid for more information. [10:14] sylario: xorg will be with us a very long time still [10:15] Skyrider: maybe a clean installation of 16.04 would be the fastest way [10:15] brainwash: ubottu Google cannot find any windows 10 mir or wayland, there is nothing about non linux server, that's why I ask [10:16] sylario: i am not sure if there is a working "wayland-forward" like the x-forward yet. (wayland is still not ready in every section). so no need to get stressed now, x11 will be used some more years. [10:16] sylario: mir is dead, and wayland is still under heavy development. [10:17] brainwash: I can't. [10:17] ducasse, mark said mir is not dead .. surpised me too.. [10:17] There no OpenVZ image container for 16.04 on my vps. [10:17] I was forced to do an upgrade instead. [10:17] Skyrider: now that's rather odd [10:17] it's not like 16.04 is brand new [10:18] Skyrider: besides, wayland is not network transparent. something might appear there, but not in the protocol itself and not for a while. [10:18] OerHeks: on the desktop it is aiui, they're keeping it for embedded etc if i read it correctly. [10:18] I asked the provider about it "At the moment, the image available is causing problems, so we had to remove it temporarily until a solution could be figured out. Thanks for contacting us about it though!" [10:19] Skyrider: =S [10:24] I'm trying to install ubuntu 16.04.02 on an MSI laptop.

Attempting to install now, I'll let you know how things go [10:32] msi, happy2help!

[10:39] hateball, ducasse I'll first try to install the drivers normally, and use the mokutil command if that fails [10:39] msi: iirc you need to disable validation first, since the install checks [10:40] msi: or make sure to build the driver manually later [10:42] anyone got any experience with touch screens? can't get it to work after switching from Fedora to Ubuntu [10:42] it's not listed in xinput (It wasn't under fedora either, but it worked out of the box there) [10:43] Maybe because I kept my /home from the previous installation. There could be interfering config files? [10:46] * Bl4ckC0r3 Have a nice day girls and boys. [10:47] Lutenist, possibly [10:47] brainwash: thanks, thought it was something i fooled with [10:51] Bl4ckC0r3: u2, off to work myself :D [10:56] Hi all - quick q, I installed ubuntu16.04 originally on my HDD by accident (long story short, installing linux on dell inspiron 15 7559 is a pita, so was up late), and have just moved it to my SSD and updated fstab etc. However, I'm not familiar with the boot process too well - I have an EFI partition on my HDD, which I only use for SWAP and some data storage now (I am dual booting). Do I need this? [10:56] Can I delete this partition? [10:56] agoose77, yes [10:57] agoose77, YES you need it! do NOT delete it! [10:57] haha [10:57] phew [10:57] cfhowlett, what is it used for? just for pointing to SWAP or something? [10:57] agoose77, no. efi has nothing to do with swap. [10:57] !efi | agoose77 [10:57] agoose77: 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 [10:58] Yeah, I am somewhat familiar with that, I just wasn't sure why i need it if I'm booting off my ssd nwo [10:58] cfhowlett, to clairfy; I have Win10 + Ubuntu on my SSD, so nothing is booting from HDD [10:58] anymore, anyway [10:59] agoose77, how big is the partition? [10:59] So i wondered if the HDD efi parition was leftover from when I was booting from it, e.g can I now remove [10:59] not big, ~538Mb [10:59] MB [10:59] agoose77: if you are talking about the efi partition, you need at least one to boot in uefi mode [10:59] agoose77, so a trivial size? Keep it [10:59] hello, I wanted to install Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 and I'm wondering if I'll end up with the full final release if I keep updating it in a few days when it comes out or will I have to reinstall? [11:00] ducasse, sure, but I don't need it on my HDD though, if I alreayd have one on the drive I boot off? [11:00] cfhowlett, well, It's mainly that it is sitting right between my two data partitions [11:01] Anybody can recommend me software for PDF-viewing *WITH* annotation tools (that can be setup with manual keyboard shortcuts) such that the annotations *persist* (for example, when opening the pdf in other software, i still have to see the annotations). The annotations i use very frequently are text highlighting, comments, and text underlining. FoxitReader (for linux) does not allow to manually set shortcuts. Okular does, but i have the UI [11:01] of Okular. Ubuntu's built in Document Viewer does not let annotations persist (they are somehow layered, and do not become engrained in the original pdf) [11:01] agoose77: if the firmware is set up to boot from another one, then you can remove the old. check with 'sudo efibootmgr -v' and confirm the uuid [11:01] thanks ducasse , cfhowlett [11:01] Cmaj6: have you tried zathura? [11:05] ubuntu should use KDE for default DE instead of GNOME [11:05] ducasse, no, haven't heard of that! Will check it out! [11:05] thnx! [11:10] Cmaj6: you may not like the interface if you don't use vi(m), but it's perfect if you like to keep your hands on the keyboard [11:12] cfhowlett, any clue how I can go around and troubleshoot? [11:13] Lutenist, if it's a config issue, you could drop the nuclear option: delete all .files and .folders in your /home [11:13] not my first recommendation, but it will set you back to factory fresh settings [11:13] whoa, wait here. [11:14] Lutenist: try _moving_ them first, start with .config [11:17] yea I'll have access to my external HDD next week so I'll try back it all up and do a full re-install [11:19] h0w t0 5P34K 1337?

Over here, starting in the office. [11:49] morning people [11:49] morning [11:49] o/ shushl syntaks [11:50] relaxed sofar, then again this is the ubuntu support channel [11:50] i need some help, i am running 16.04 on my laptop and i only have suspend mode when i close lid on laptop and its draining battery like crazy, any ideas? [11:50] =) I am setting up a ubuntu server with dhcp (working 100%), and dns (having problems). Lets see what I have missed [11:50] Getting guided by this https://lani78.com/2012/07/22/setting-up-a-dns-for-the-local-network-on-the-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin-server/ [11:52] same laptop running windows 10 can be suspended for more than 8 hours, with ubuntu in suspended mode it runs out battery in 3-4 hours [11:52] any ideas? [11:52] shushl, not from my side... I wonder what's going on there. [11:53] shushl: i think my acer f5 laptop is doing the same [11:53] shushl, have you tried different versions of Ubuntu? [11:54] no i only have 16.04 installed that is the latest LTS [11:55] they have 16.10 i can see [11:55] shushl, or, just for tests... maybe try 14.04? [11:58] shushl: windows and linux are probably invoking different sleep states, aiui linux does not support all of them [11:59] ok, so what is eating battery during suspend of Ubuntu that fast? [12:00] shushl: as i said, it's probably in another sleep state than it would be under windows, so more of the hardware draws power [12:00] <_max_> i want to add a few users with encrypted homes and set their passwords later, so if i just do: adduser --encrypt-home --... ; usermod -aG ; usermod -p PW do i have to fear any negative consequences? because it seems there will be no custom encryption-passphrase set? how are the homes encrypted then? [12:02] shushl: does your system actually enter the sleep state? what does dmesg/journalctl report? [12:02] Anyone know how to fix no HDMI sound on a Raspberry Pi with Ubuntu Mate?

How do I get rid of it? [13:14] Scungielli, that, i don't know, maybe someone here knows more about Lubuntu [13:14] Scungielli: see if simple screen recorder has a setting for not showing that in systray [13:15] Hey Guys and Gals, can some one explain to me why I Can't use smb address devices. For example, set up a new freenas box, but freenas.local isn't found(Works fine on the macs we have around). [13:15] where do I find Simple Screen recorder? [13:16] https://github.com/MaartenBaert/ssr [13:16] So, no love? [13:16] Scungielli: did you install it? [13:17] no, I just installed the OS [13:17] and it was there [13:17] Scungielli, which OS [13:17] Scungielli: no, you not "just installed the os". since there is kodi and teamviewer installed [13:17] Scungielli: Which spin did you instal? [13:18] Lubuntu [13:18] 16.10 [13:18] spin? [13:18] Scungielli: so again: did you install simple screen recorder? [13:18] I did not [13:18] Scungielli: Then you need to do that. [13:18] just the apps on the desktop that you see [13:19] install it? [13:19] maybe ssr is standard, or i am wrong about that icon,.. [13:19] BetaSoul: no he doesnt need to do that [13:19] Just want to get red of it [13:19] fedora has spins , ubuntu has flavors [13:20] Scungielli: as you can see, a blank new lubuntu 16.10 doesnt have that icon: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Lubuntu_16.10_Desktop.png [13:20] Sorry, been working on fedora servers lately. [13:20] Scungielli: so again: what did you install? [13:20] hello, I running ubuntu 16.04 LTS with zfs and snapshots, I have a script that create a new snapshot, unmount the existing one from /mnt/foo , and than mounting the newly created snapshot.. but when I trying to delete the last used snapshot I get dataset busy.. [13:21] I haven't use zfs hold.. so it´s not that.. [13:21] just Kodi and TeamViewer [13:21] and I can found the snapshot in /proc/*/mount .... [13:21] but its been there since fresh install [13:21] Is there a network resource that's connecting to the snapshot nwe? [13:21] pls help me i installed ubuntu alongside windows 10 but after installation complete the system reboot to windows 10 only [13:21] how do I get rid of it? [13:21] krishna: System, build, etc? [13:22] laptop aspire e 15 [13:23] msi: did you try and get the nvidia blob working, or are you content with using nomodeset? [13:23] Scungielli, ... maybe it is kodi or teamviewer :-D [13:23] it was there before I installed them [13:23] or at least how do I hide that icon? [13:24] krishna: So Uefi bios? [13:24] BetaSoul: nope, that mountpoint is only using by nginx (For host my own apt-mirror).. [13:24] hateball: I'm going without the nvidia blob. I don't need it, so I thought I'd better leave things alone now that they are working [13:24] msi: :) [13:24] uefi i selected [13:24] just install the better open source drivers [13:24] BetaSoul: sorry for my poor english.. [13:24] no neeed for nivida blob [13:24] nwe: This may sound crazy, but try stopping nginx before unmounting? [13:25] krishna: When you installed, how did you do the partitions? [13:26] before i install i created 50 gb unpartitioned space [13:26] BetaSoul: I have try that.. [13:26] and i installed ubuntu alongside windows option [13:27] krishna: hrm.... [13:27] nwe: logs? [13:28] after intallation comple the system reboot and directly going windows 10 any dualboot menu came [13:28] not any dualboot menu came [13:29] So no grub or anything. Hrm....Was this a fresh install of window/nix, or was this the factory install? [13:29] msi https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers trust me these free driver smash the defult oones [13:30] better use the official driver ppa [13:30] BetaSoul: I using zfs to store my .deb-package in /mnt/foo , after I have push new package to /mnt/foo I creating a new snapshot to /mnt/foo_production and deleting the oldest.. but before I had lock one snapshot by mistake, then I couldn't remove it so I release it.. and for a while everything worked like a charm, but no I get dataset is busy [13:30] https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa [13:30] oibaf smashes offical [13:30] gogeta, e does not help with bugs, so it is bad [13:31] mainly due to offical being always out of date and slow [13:31] this is not factory installed lap [13:31] it does help with bugs [13:31] c/e-he [13:31] newer mesa is way better then the older versions [13:32] and it was for the guy who whanted to use the free drivers on his nivida [13:32] need to try fresh windows installation and again try for ubuntu? [13:32] newer from 3rd party PPA means: own risk, own support [13:32] nwe: I'm still getting used to zfs. Could there be a logged user/service using it? [13:33] krishna: The dell boot loader is kinda PIA, so you might. But its likely recoverable. Do some googling about your model and grub. [13:33] Nividia, new card, newer hurd of it [13:33] ok thankyou [13:33] BetaSoul: hmm how can I check that lsof on the snapshot ? [13:34] nwe: Not sure. [13:34] BetaSoul: because the old snapshot isn't mounted.. [13:35] nwe: Wait, it unmounts but the new share won't mount because it says the mount point is busy? [13:37] hi, what does ubuntu do by default for spinning down HDD after a period of inactivity? Is there a default, or who/what decides the spin down interval? [13:37] BetaSoul: no no, it unmount the the old snapshot from /mnt/foo_production and mount the new one. I running zfs list -t snapshot |grep .. to extract the oldest snapshot to delete, then it says dataset busy [13:37] the snapshot I trying to delete is from the end of march.. [13:38] xebra, that probly controled by acpi === violet is now known as vi [13:39] xebra: hdparm can set the time for spindown [13:39] there you go [13:39] new: can you mount the old snapshot to a new location? I'm wondering if its not unmounting clean. [13:39] I will try [13:39] xebra: but keep in mind, that spinup and spindown is a lot of stress for the hdd. dont set it to low to not do too much up/downs [13:41] BetaSoul: hmm I get filesystem zpool1/tank-mirror@2017-03-28-08-38-30' is already mounted [13:42] k1l_, I'm just wondering if there's a default (since I've never touched it) and if it actually ever spins down. Even leaving this chat open will use the disk (save log), I also have conky on my desktop as a system monitor, that might use the disk constantly... [13:42] xebra, they normaly dont unless the system is sleeping [13:42] nwe: AHAH~! [13:42] BetaSoul: now when I running mount I its also mounted on /mnt/foo_production.. [13:43] xebra: there are caches. [13:43] so it doesnt get unmounted correctly [13:44] k1l_, yeah, that's also true. Pretty complicated [13:45] xebra, just would be alot of stress to spin up and down every time your away for only a few moments [13:47] gogeta, I know, I think a value like half an hour would make sense though, if nothing has used the disk in half an hour chances are I'm not around and no applications are running [13:47] xebra, if you set your sleep to that kind of time same effect [13:49] xebra, you can even tell it to hibernate after 30 min [13:49] xebra, if you know what features im talkin about [13:49] hey guys, it seems our dev server has been compromised with cryptonight miner that runs every hour with a custom logind.conf [13:49] has anyone heard of this before? [13:50] https://s3.amazonaws.com/uploads.hipchat.com/484519/3523379/uOL4f4saUON3dG1/hacksopbamboo.PNG [13:50] yeoman, sounds like one of those bitcoin trojins [13:50] link is pic of the process [13:50] yeh [13:50] exactly [13:50] but it doesnt show up in any cron [13:51] yeoman: i would format that machine and make sure the services have better passwords/key-logins [13:51] yeah seems like that would be the best option [13:51] have you heard of this before? [13:51] yeoman, kil likes the nucler option [13:52] haha yeah [13:52] straight from orbit [13:52] gogeta: if a system is alreday compromised there is no way to make it "clean" again [13:53] so untrue [13:53] i make the big money making systems clean again [13:53] nice gogeta [13:53] this is just a shitty dev box [13:54] i'd have to agree with k1l_. [13:54] yeoman, yea the easy option would be format it if its not a critcal machine [13:54] you can salvage data and rebuild the system, but that's about it. [13:54] gogeta: no, the only way is to format [13:54] I agree with k1l_ , reinstalling / restoring backups is the ONLY safe way to clean a system. Unless something got into the firmware even [13:55] gogeta: you are actually advicing to keep an unsafe system running. this is bad advice. [13:55] well yeah technically bad advice [13:55] but restore vs "repair" has a different cost [13:56] depends who your audience is, indeed. [13:56] yeoman: no. that is just excuses === Skyrid3r is now known as Skyrider [13:57] no need to be all dogmatic. the average windows home user doesn't care, for example. whether or not that's stupid is of no concern to them. [13:58] its funny to see when it runs, it calls home to a single russian IP [13:58] yeoman, well if its a windows 10 box reformat out linux on it hahaha [13:58] its ubuntu 16.04 [13:58] lts [13:58] oh outch [13:59] hence why im in here [13:59] kind of a last resort if you will [13:59] yeoman, how you manage that one [13:59] but they kind of wipe their ass with security round here [13:59] lol === vi is now known as violet [14:01] gogeta manage it through ssh, with basic authentication only available on the local network [14:01] yeoman, but yea those bitcoin miner virus are the new fad [14:01] yeah [14:01] its kind of smart too [14:01] you'd notice if it was miner malware. [14:01] he did [14:01] this one just takes 75% of the core [14:01] hey [14:01] so on a fast machine it still is quite responsive [14:01] clever. === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [14:02] yeah real clever [14:02] the call to the russion ip is to empty the wallet [14:02] most likely [14:02] some small shitty ass random coin [14:02] yeoman, maybe some more things [14:02] yeoman, thats a bitcoin trojin [14:03] dont know if you saw the screenshot [14:04] Of course, there's no guarantee the miner isn't the only thing running on the box. [14:04] yeah and logs could be manipulated === SuperLag_ is now known as SuperLag [14:04] yeoman, you have his ip you can always run metaspolit see if he has a old outdated box [14:04] yeoman, get some revenge [14:04] The ONLY safe option is to format/reinstall, and make sure any local accounts have different passwords if you do plan on making it internet-facing. [14:05] I would definitely NOT follow gogeta's advice. [14:05] what is the most common way of infection for this? [14:05] ssh compromise? [14:05] why not burn his box down [14:06] yeoman, you tell us: what did you do [14:06] well it would become something of ceremony [14:06] haha [14:06] well it runs a bamboo CI facing outward on port 443 [14:06] yeoman: it depends on what internet facing services there are. It could easily be a weak password on SSH that was brute-forced. [14:06] yeoman, it was a naught site wasent it [14:06] because some devs need t o access it [14:06] devs should have vpn accounts. [14:06] SSH is open on 22 but not facing outward in any way [14:07] yeoman: if you counterattack, you run the risk of angering the hackers if it is their box. Chances are it's someone else's box who was also compromised being used as a jumping off point. [14:07] so it made me think hmmm some guy fucked up here and downloaded some shady ass xxx while at work [14:07] More to the point, there's no legal basis for counter-hacking and so it's just as illegal. [14:07] yeoman, no need for that word choise, keep this channel family friendly, thanks. [14:07] yeah [14:07] ok my bad [14:08] yeoman, or he got in threw a weakness in bamboo [14:08] yeah that would also be possible [14:08] Hey all. I have problems with "Google Nexus 5" on Xubuntu 16.10: it does not seem to behave the same way as my "HTC One X", the devices in /dev/bus/usb/*/* are different [14:08] yeoman: you're not bad, just mistaken [14:09] yeoman, or a devs password was hacked [14:09] yeoman, passwrods leak so often these days [14:09] yeah there's just so many ways [14:09] really nice here though [14:09] many different insights [14:10] yeoman, when you bring the box back up defently force a password change on everyone [14:10] yeoman, what do you use that server for? You could have been hacked via another application too [14:11] generally speaking, don't expose atlassian apps. [14:11] i see. well we made the transition a while ago here because bamboo cloud was EOL [14:11] so transfer to bamboo server [14:11] because the current workflow still requires this software [14:12] and exposed to keep the connection between JIRA cloud and bitbucket available [14:12] otherwise the integration is completely lost [14:12] yeoman, sad to hear, fix it, format it, you know what to do. [14:12] yup [14:13] is there a different channel dedicated to these kind of questions? [14:13] or is this an appropriate place? [14:14] ? ##security [14:14] in ##security you might be able to talk directly with the guys who hacked your server :P LOL [14:14] lol [14:15] At the very least don't make the server internet-facing. If your devs need access to it give them VPN access. [14:16] haha [14:16] will check that out [14:16] there is alot i would do to lock it down even internet facing [14:16] basic hardening [14:16] ? [14:16] like whiteliting ips of the employees [14:16] and blocking everything else [14:17] vpn is more secure [14:17] ja [14:17] yea vpn to [14:17] i think your heads would explode over here, still stuck on pptp "because it still works" right? [14:18] ick [14:18] openvpn or softether [14:18] no pptp. [14:18] yeoman, openvpn tends to have alot less weakness then anything else you where using [14:18] yeah [14:19] what command to search a filename or program [14:19] but there are some people here who are so stubborn [14:19] Ancer, type in the search bar [14:19] Ancer: mlocate slocate [14:19] Ancer: find [14:19] wait, your bitbucket is internet-exposed too? [14:19] no bitbucket is in the cloud too [14:20] 'in the cloud' == 'on someone else's server' [14:20] +1 [14:20] presumably not behind a vpn also. [14:20] would anyone care to tell me if it's possible to run the bash command "rm -rf !(some-folder)" in dash? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/43348129/how-to-run-rm-rf-folder-in-dash [14:20] * aotaointbin sighs [14:21] Rumbles, yes you can run rm in bash lol [14:21] not bash dash [14:21] you can run arbitrary commands in dash, yes. [14:21] it's funny how people (esp non-technical managers) always seem to think "the cloud" is a magical place where resources are unlimited, free, completely secure and always updated [14:22] the question is can you do !(some-folder) in dash. [14:22] can you run "rm -rf !(folder)" in dash? I can't.... [14:22] yeah, how do you do that aotaointbin ? [14:22] is it possible? [14:23] aotaointbin can you tell me if that has a name? [14:24] man dash [14:24] i'm reading now [14:24] section 'Shell Patterns' mentions it... [14:24] hah I have been looking but I couldn't find it :/ [14:25] by itself it expands to the pid of the most recent background command executed from the current shell... [14:25] in an expression it does negation.. [14:26] i'm not a bash guy, so i'm not sure what the difference is, but there does seem to be one (or more). [14:27] no history expansion in dash, it seems.. [14:27] Hi, I've used CCSM to set up Viewport switching using left and mouse scrollwheel (you can pivot the scroll wheel left or right). This works as long as the cursor is on the desktop background. Is there a way to enable it even if the cursor is over an application window? [14:29] I want to add a video message to the login page on 16.04, what file would I edit? [14:29] is there a way to use apt to verify the checksum of all installed packages? [14:29] Or dpkg [14:31] brian_: i am not aware of such a feature [14:32] On password fail a graphic shows up that says 'try again', I want it to do something else [14:33] exit [14:33] brian_: i highly doubt there is a lightdm skin with that capability [14:34] ctjctj, if the pkg is still in the cache you can md5sum that pkg, and check with apt-cache show pkg [14:34] ioria, Not quite what I'm looking for. I want to check the md5sum of the installed files from those packages. [14:34] this is open source, if it doesn't have it now it will, I just need to know which program handles the login screen so that I can put some new code in it. [14:35] brian_: lightdm [14:35] thank you [14:35] ctjctj: debsums [14:35] wedgie, thanks!

Something to do with default sound. help [14:55] ksbalaji: does the sound come back with the regular kernel? [14:56] regular kernel is silent. [14:56] _max_: worst case, it sets a random password that you don't know and you can't decrypt the home directory. Best case, it sets no password and everyone can decrypt it? [14:56] After i did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10 amd64 from 16.10 i386 my x-710bh's media buttons seem to not work anymore [14:56] what went wrong?

[14:58] ksbalaji: hrm, so before youadded lowlatency kernel the generic kernel worked? And then added lowlatency kernel and sound stopped working -- and then generic also didn't work? [14:58] how do I change sound system from something default to alsa or pa or jack? [14:59] nacc: you are on dot. [14:59] <_28Kb> I installed alsa mixer [14:59] <_max_> because when i wasm anually running the commands, i could not acces the encrypted files, but after setting a password for the user, i could without a problem [14:59] hello ... does anyone knows how can i disable the access to the usb drives to the users?

When I returned back to generic , problem started === yokel_ is now known as yokel [15:03] nacc: Though I always remain a beginner with ubuntu (many years perhaps) I got jack working in low latency. But, I did something which meddled with profile in generic sound fall back. [15:06] ksbalaji: and now sound doesn't work in generic? [15:06] ksbalaji: so is it that jack isnt working in generic? [15:06] nacc: yes. [15:06] ksbalaji: but it still works in lowlatency? [15:07] nacc: No sound in generic. I got upset . Didn't try opening low latency .

I'm assming it's really something with jack and not the kernel itself, but I don't know [15:09] nacc: I felt I better get sound working in generic before digging again into low latency.

I have autologin on boot up, but I'd like to never have to enter password for when doing updates/installs etc. I'm not worried about security on this PC [16:03] Scungielli: why don't you worry about security? :) [16:03] Scungielli: because you are asking for passwordless sudo, which means if anyone is able to remotely login as your user, they then have root on your system [16:04] Scungielli, run as root, or make sudo passwordless [16:04] But it is not a good idea, like nacc said [16:04] sudo visudo , replace "sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL" with "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" [16:05] but you run into issues :-D [16:08] dax and not push me lame [16:08] norde: hrm?

[16:16] dax chears amatior :) [16:16] tried it. it doesn't fix it. used chrome/firefox. the 10 second rating screen loads and it keeps on buffering after that. [16:17] shadygoose, then i have no clue [16:17] zak`: amusingly, it takes you longer to generate new addresses than it takes me to nuke them. consider finding something better to do with your life [16:17] OerHeks does it make a difference? I installed flash [16:17] how do I extract from a .conf file that contains a lot of data, the version number of zc.buildout and setuptools like this? https://hastebin.com/xejifofuji.makefile [16:17] ok so its the Dropbox icon that keeps showing up in the system tray. I still want the Dropbox program to autostart, but I don't need it showing in the system tray. so how do I disable that specific indicator icon? especially since its not displaying correctly anyways [16:18] OerHeks thanks anyway. anyone else wanna pitch in?

[16:25] yeah [16:25] shadygoose: is this pipelight a flashplayer replacement? If 'yes', you might also try the Chrome/Chromium flash replacement 'pepperflash'. 'sudo apt install *pepperflash*' <-- will install two packages... [16:25] helpless: can you get the rest of the description for the second one? [16:25] i forget how to do it on windows, maybe click or double click or something [16:26] Efi system partition [16:26] helpless: On mine which was a fresh install of Win 8.1 from dvd (not oem supplied), later upgraded to Win 10, mine has 5 partitions before my Ubutu partitions, Windows recovery, EFI, MS Reserved, Filesystem (which is drive C) plus a 2nd filesystem of 528Mb [16:26] So Windows has Efi too, better not wipe that out [16:26] oh true, I guess if we're counting EFI system partitions [16:26] Wonder what the "healthy" 1gb is for [16:27] the 1.00GB one at the end doesn't look Windowsy. The rest are Windows + your EFI system partition [16:27] Does Efi still contain data from Ubuntu? [16:27] Or does every OS have its own Efi partition? [16:28] Hello all [16:28] http://i.imgur.com/RvJCumN.png I should be good to go for a fresh Ubuntu install now? [16:28] I'm not sure how Ubuntu does it.

[16:48] nacc: copied [16:48] fugee: then it's a new file in the target directory [16:48] so what [16:48] fiki fiki dani muter elky [16:48] xiusfist: unetbootin [16:48] fugee: it was just created in the new directory [16:48] why would anyone assume i wanna change the creation date [16:48] fugee: you want cp --preserve if you want different behavior [16:49] fugee: it's not *changing* the creation date. [16:49] fugee: it's creating a file [16:49] it's a conspiracy i swear [16:49] Hi [16:49] fugee: no, it's not, it seems like you don't understand how files work, maybe [16:49] nnyby: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(user_interface) [16:49] thx [16:49] nacc: so then how would i benefit from the changing of the creation date [16:50] fugee: it' [16:50] fugee: it's *not* changing anything [16:50] fugee: it's creating a new file, which as attributes specific to that file's creation [16:50] i copied, didn't create new [16:50] OerHeks: ok cool [16:50] fugee: do you understand what i said before? [16:51] fugee: copy is creating a new file [16:51] fugee: move is moving an existing file [16:51] fugee: you need to tell copy to not modify timestamps if you don't wnat it to. But the default is of course to set them to when the file was actually created. [16:52] nacc: merriam-webster may be intrigued by your definitions [16:52] fugee: ok, you're trolling at this point, if you want actual help, maybe someone else will be able to. I gave you the command you need to use, and why your assumptions are incorrect on any unix system. [16:53] imagine how many files have their admissibility as evidence or even their auditability destroyed before someone notices this is happening [16:53] fugee: you are copying the file contents, the attributes reflect when the copy was made [16:53] how convenient for large rip-off corporations [16:53] If using any unix system at command line there are certain basic functions (on any os) that a user a that level should know already [16:54] ... wut?

[16:55] i understand elephants in the room are off topic; the discussion is discontinued on my part [16:56] taralej: hi. [16:56] hello everybody [16:57] i would like to test my build (cpu+cooler) is there a "stress test" ...and a tool to check the temp? (i am using intel i7 6700k) [16:57] the mouse pointer is very sensitive. trying to close a window by clicking the teeny tiny "X" takes surgical precision.reducing the sensitivity doesn't make a difference. comments? [16:58] crazycoder: maybe 'stress' will work for you [16:58] crazycoder: apt install inxi [16:58] inxi -F [16:58] elky: {} [16:59] taralej, pardon but does it stress each core of the CPU? [16:59] i read there are stress test that only test 1 core [16:59] taralej: perhaps you should explain to the user what that command is going to do [16:59] stress -c 4 # for 4 cores .. [17:00] OerHeks, does it tell the temp too ? [17:00] Having trouble wording a question to google to get relevant results. I am not familiar enough with the system for changelogs to be helpful, so I was trying to find a list of items that changed in 16+ that would change how apache/nginx works with ubuntu itself. (Or would that be a better question for a different channel). Looking more specifically for if 16+ handles webserver dns forwarding differently than in prior versions? [17:00] crazycoder, no, that is what inxi -F does [17:00] skits: maybe ask in #ubuntu-server [17:01] OerHeks, ok so i should start "stress" command and then check the temp with the other command [17:01] skits: but what do you mean by 16+? and changed relative to what? [17:01] crazycoder, jups, that is doable [17:01] Hi, does anyone has install QT-Make 5.6 into an arm64, [17:01] ok [17:02] crazycoder, old tutor 12.04, but still valid > http://www.hecticgeek.com/2012/11/stress-test-your-ubuntu-computer-with-stress/ [17:02] NOTICE ME! the mouse pointer is very sensitive. trying to close a window by clicking the teeny tiny "X" takes surgical precision.reducing the sensitivity doesn't make a difference. comments?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [17:04] I previously used 14.04 exclusively and never had any issues. But when setting up droplets and test servers it seems the interation with forwarded domains is handled differently. After setting up vhosts on any webserver it seems to refuse to display(in browser) dns info, just public ips. [17:04] ok. my bad :( [17:04] Thought maybe 16+(04) might have somethign extra I was missing [17:05] skits: right, so 16+ (to me) implies all versions including and after 16.04, but you are asking about 16.04 specifically? [17:05] skits: or you mean you've tried all newer versions and they all have this issue? [17:05] does the /etc/hosts file play any role in domain resolution? [17:05] mikeymop: yes [17:05] ubuntu 16.04 on arm64 has only qmake 3.0 but I need to use qt-5.6.0 is there any way to install it?

I reverted to 14.04 on my test server and did not have the issue [17:07] skits: i would ask in #ubuntu-server [17:08] ok, thank you very much nacc [17:08] I did install 5.2.1 but the QT creator won't compile on it it requires 5.6.0 or newer version, is there a way to fix that?

I received the following error: Failed dependencies: rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by openoffice-core04-4.1.2-9782.x86_64 [17:28] How can I see what dependencies are missing? [17:28] rhumbot: um ... rpm? [17:28] rhumbot: openoffice has been replaced by libreoffice in ubuntu [17:29] rhumbot: and rpms are not the native packaging format for ubuntu [17:29] hello [17:29] i from indian [17:29] nacc libreoffice seems to have a bug with assigning macros; I wanted to test if it works in open office, which was recommended. [17:29] i m also from india [17:29] Deepak, use it, read about it, and seek help in the irc channels when you counter issues. btw backbox is not ubuntu. [17:29] tick: Deepak: please no chitchat in the support channel [17:30] ducasse, the point is to extract the version number using the string, is that what you gave me there? [17:30] okkk sorry :) [17:30] But I get your point:) thank you. I downloaded the wrong version! [17:30] rhumbot: ah, i don't know if it's available in a PPA or not, but installing the rpm is almost certainly incorrect :) [17:30] stupid me. thanks! [17:30] rhumbot: np [17:31] PCatinean: if you echo the line like that through cut, you will get the version number [17:31] hmm, nice! thanks will look [17:33] PCatinean: it splits the line on the equal sign, returns the second field then removes the leading space [17:37] hello all [17:37] whats goin down [17:37] what do I need to do to update grub with new entries? I ran update-grub which changed my /boot/grub/grub.cfg and I see the changes but when I reboot the menu is the old one. Is there another step? [17:38] jonjitsu: update-grub is typically all that's needed [17:38] jonjitsu: is your grub looking at the wrong disk? [17:38] jonjitsu: More than 1 hard drive ? What is set in bios as the boot drive ? [17:38] jonjitsu: and/or what/where did you change before running update-grub? [17:41] my whole system crashed. I've lost the entire morning. There are no other harddrives. I don't even understand from where it is reading the old entries [17:41] I guess uninstalling grub and reinstalling should work? [17:42] jonjitsu, did you install 2 linux versions on that one drive? [17:42] OerHeks, no [17:43] oke, that could have explained a 2nd grub, forget about it. [17:45] I'd hope to go full linux but all of my uni's programming classes are in c# [17:45] how's c# in linux [17:46] fan: it's called mono in linux [17:46] I am aware of that, is it lacking compared to visual studio etc.?

[17:48] fan: i have no idea, though, mono itself is just a runtime [17:48] fan: visual studio is an IDE [17:49] Ahh, thought you were talking about monodevelop, the IDE.

From time to time, maninly overnight, the keyboard hangs. No response from any of the keys. This has happened on both old hardware as well as OS upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. unplug/replug the keyboard brings it back to life. It also has happened in the middle of typing, but not so often.

[18:17] "For new installs, a swap file will be used instead of a swap partition." How does this affect the 17.04 installation process? [18:18] shadygoose: as it says? a fresh 17.04 install won't have a swap partition, but will use swap files [18:18] so only 2 parttitons should be created? root and /home? [18:19] do swap files work with laptop hibernation now? I thought there used to be an issue [18:19] nacc: no this is not a fresh installation. I installed the vps with ubuntu few weeks ago. After that installed mysql and used it for i think 2 weeks. This week i did an apt-get upgrade and got this problem. [18:19] shadygoose: depends on how your other partitions were defined, but yeah, that's certianly a possibility [18:20] Random832: i'm not sure, but given the change, i'd assume so? [18:20] nacc: I'm gonna do a fresh install after it gets out. would 2 partitions be enough? I can't find an install guide. [18:21] shadygoose: i'm not sure what you mean by 'enough'? [18:21] abijma_: isn't this kind of issue fixed by running "dpkg-reconfigure -a" ? [18:22] nacc: usually it's 3 partitions. root, /home and swap. 17.04 doesn't need a swap partition so 2 partitions in total for the installation to go through? [18:22] faugusztin: i think i tried that already. I just tried again but it says "a unknown option" ?! [18:23] abijma_: sudo apt install -f [18:23] shadygoose: why are you defining partitions outside of the installer? [18:23] baizon: no gives same error again [18:24] abijma_: in any case, if you have no data in database, then just uninstall the mysql-server and install it again [18:24] Hey all! I've tried installing 16.04.02 onto an APU2C4 Board via USB and these infos (https://trick77.com/installing-ubuntu-server-16-04-pc-engines-apu-apu2/). Unfortunately i keep running into "error copying files from cdrom". (different usb sticks tested) [18:24] Anyone got an idea? i use ubetbootin on mac os to create the install media and tried several usb sticks [18:25] abijma_: faugusztin: probably purge and you probably need to use dpkg to do it [18:25] faugusztin: that's the problem, i do have data in there. and not a backup of the last 12 hours, so i would like to do my best to fix this and saving the data [18:25] abijma_: copy your /var/lib/mysql away to be sure, then do the uninstall/reinstall ? [18:26] abijma_: can you pastebin more of the apt history log? /var/log/apt/history.log? trying to understand what it was trying to do that failed [18:26] nacc: not exactly sure what you meant by 'outside'. shouldn't the partitions be defined during the installation on the unallocated space if it's a dual boot?

[19:00] baizon, that is an impressively bad quality file [19:01] abijma_: sorry, stepped away [19:01] abijma_: well, we need to see why the postinst is failing [19:01] baizon: searching for the issue i only found something in reference to debian, sugesting one needs to use this command to solve the issue [19:01] ppf, nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362537/plain/ [19:01] i can't open that [19:01] sudo apt-get install debian-archive-keyring [19:01] Random832: i guess he did it with quality=0 :) [19:02] abijma_: can you pastebin the contents of /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst ? [19:02] abijma_: also, please don't append '/plain/' [19:02] abijma_: as it ends up requireing auth (which i happen to have, but not everyone does) [19:02] baizon: where do you access the "about" menu ? I must be missing something, because the only thing I can to it type "about:" where the URL-s usually go [19:03] balazs: options menu -> questionmark -> about firefox [19:03] can someone running 16.10 do sudo apt-key list to see if they get the key ID ? [19:03] lrojas: i can see mine [19:04] i am wondering if this is a general issue [19:04] baizon: do you have any clue as to why i cannot see mine? [19:04] lrojas: are they also missing when u use "Software & Updates"? [19:05] baizon: lrojas: on mine they are also 'unknown' [19:05] am i missing something like that debian package but for ubuntu? [19:05] no, they show there [19:05] i can update fine [19:05] lrojas: well i cant tell then what the issue could be :( [19:05] is just a pita because i have to look at the long number and the concatenate the last 8 digits to get the key id [19:06] which is weird [19:06] ppf, nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362537 [19:06] abijma_: thanks -- and the .postinst file? [19:06] hello [19:06] since when i look at samples on how to use apt-key del the keyid is different to the signature [19:07] nacc: Use of uninitialized value $action in string eq at /usr/share/debconf/frontend line 27. postinst called with unknown argument '' [19:07] is the result i get on that command [19:07] (btw i'm not on ubuntu, i'm on elementary) [19:07] anyways [19:07] i recently installed lua [19:07] and it keeps getting an error [19:08] !elementary | hyperbeam [19:08] hyperbeam: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. [19:08] for "make linux" [19:08] abijma_: which command did you run? i didn't say to run a command [19:09] abijma_: you need to pass arguments to the postinst (see the values to pass in the parentheses in your log) [19:09] good evening [19:09] i'm back [19:09] had to do something [19:10] !elementary | hyperbeam [19:10] hyperbeam, please see my private message [19:10] hyperbeam: Elemetary isn't supprted here, you need to ask their own support network [19:10] DJones, i assume that's what he was trying to find out where that is. [19:10] okay. [19:10] sya [19:10] btw [19:10] yeah random is right [19:11] i.e. since he closed the client before [19:17] nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362658 here the content of /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst [19:18] abijma_: he wasn't asking for the contents [19:18] run bash -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/mysql-server-5.7.postinst configure 5.7.17-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 [19:19] So it took a few hours for my custom kernel to finish compiling, but it did. No errors from make this time, nor were there any errors scrolling past during compilation itself [19:19] But I'm not sure if my customized kernel will be a good fit for my toshiba laptop when I install it into the /boot folder [19:19] ppf, nacc: then i misunderstood. you want to have the output of that bash command? [19:20] abijma_: yes, or at least the error [19:20] ppf, nacc: here the output http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362677 [19:22] kernelmodder, if you have the 3 debs, maybe the mainline page is any help https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Installing_upstream_kernels_.28manually.29 [19:22] OerHeks: And the testing linux distro is fedora [19:23] OerHeks: The toshiba laptop is a secondary one [19:23] fedora.. then you should not seek help here === masos is now known as Guest17137 [19:27] OerHeks: ##fedora perhaps? === fred_ is now known as Guest75401 [19:28] does :"*y copy to the clipboard? if yes, isn't :"*p to paste [19:28] from the clipboard [19:34] abijma_: you should be able to change the postinst to be +x in the shebang and then rerun the `apt-get upgrade`, which should provide more output in dpkg.log (iirc) [19:36] ppf: Done copying the files from the iso, now i cannot mount it on os x to edit the serial stuff in [19:36] ppf: (https://trick77.com/installing-ubuntu-server-16-04-pc-engines-apu-apu2/) [19:38] dym: "copying the files from the iso"? [19:38] what did you do? [19:38] nacc: sorry but shebang is new for me. what does it mean? [19:38] ppf: dd'ing the iso to the usb stick [19:38] dd if= of= bs=4m [19:39] abijma_: make it /bin/bash -x [19:40] ppf: But now i need to access the files and edit some stuff in. [19:40] abijma_: can you run export DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG=1; dpkg --configure -a [19:40] ppf: https://pastebin.com/AKS5ZYdz - thats the state of the usb stick right now. [19:41] ppf: seems as if ext4 is mistaken for some MS partition type. [19:41] abijma_: what happens when you mount the partition [19:42] dym: ^ [19:42] ppf: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362788 this is the last part of the result of that export command [19:43] ppf: mount: exec /Library/Filesystems/ext4.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_ext4 for /mnt: No such file or directory [19:44] i installed fuse since it seems macos cannot handle ext4 natively. [19:44] what a major pain! [19:44] im about to install a ubuntu vm, just to get this fixed... [19:45] abijma_: it seems like mysql is refusing to start [19:45] abijma_: you could try to run that command by hand and see if it outputs anything [19:46] abijma_: by default, the postinst is discarding thatoutput [19:46] drop the --init-file argument, though [19:46] and mkdir that temp directory first, obviously [19:46] ppf: true :) [19:46] or you can edit the postinst and change run_init_sql to not trash theoutput to /dev/null [19:47] nacc: i already tried service mysql start do you mean this iwth starting by hand or some other way [19:47] abijma_: the command from your paste [19:47] abijma_: what ppf said [19:47] abijma_: prbably simplest is to edit run_init_sql function in the postinst and run the command ppf had you do again [19:50] nacc, ppf: i appreciate your help, but this is getting me a little to complicated. can you give me the exact commands i have to run? [19:50] abijma_: the one from your paste! [19:51] but remove the --init-file option and run mkdir /tmp/tmp.9klXSk6RGU [19:52] ppf, nacc: run command mysqld --user=mysql --socket=/tmp/tmp.9klXSk6RGU/mysqld.sock --pid-file=/tmp/tmp.9klXSk6RGU/mysqld.pid but it seems to do nothing. mkdir gives message that dir already exists [19:53] abijma_: is mysqld still running? (check `ps aux` or the return code from the comamnd) [19:56] Does anyone know if you can still run Java in Firefox ? I'm trying to do so to run a Junos VPN client, but all docs I find refer to an older version of FF. [19:56] maybe it'll be easier to change the postinst script [19:56] Supposedly newer ones do not like the java plugin [19:56] nacc: no it doesn't seem to run right now [19:57] abijma_: ok, can you do this -- as root (use sudo) edit the postinst [19:57] balazs, you would need firefox 52 esr for java/flash [19:57] abijma_: change line 19 to not have the '> /dev/null 2>&1' at the end [19:57] from the mozilla website [19:57] abijma_: try and modify the script. in line 19, erase anything after the > [19:57] abijma_: then re-run the export and command that ppf gave earlier [19:58] https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Firefox/plugins-and-version-52/td-p/1372494 [20:01] ok, removed everything from '>' on line 19 and re-run the export command [20:01] OerHeks: thanks, going thru it now... [20:01] hi all, I just installed Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, and having an issue with no Wifi. https://pastebin.com/73rrYmAp Can someone help?

[20:03] OerHeks, okay thanks [20:04] ppf: im on an ubuntu live system - why cant i mount the usb stick writeable? [20:04] OerHeks, well I'll try that :) [20:04] "Read-only file system" - cant remount rw, cant hdparm -r0 /dev/xxx, nothing works [20:04] abijma_: ok, output (pastebin)? [20:05] dym: why not? [20:05] ppf: i'd like to find out :D [20:05] i mean, what's the erro [20:05] r [20:06] ppf: i do get [20:06] ppf: "settings readonly to 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off)" [20:06] but still cant write the partition (also not after remounting) [20:06] mount -o remount,rw /dev/whatever [20:07] and paste the output of mount [20:07] ppf: "mount: cannot remount /dev/sdd2 read-write, is write-protected" [20:07] ppf: Ubuntu 16.04.2 Desktop Livesystem [20:07] ppf, nacc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24362893 [20:08] dym: blockdev --setrw /dev/sda [20:08] sorry, sdd [20:08] abijma_: sigh, not much help there -- if you run the mysqld command by hand again [20:08] abijma_: and then 'echo $?' immediately after it returns [20:08] ppf: done, also remount after, same error as above [20:08] abijma_: what value does it print? [20:09] might be because it's a VM [20:09] dym: ^ [20:10] ppf: christ this is annoying. [20:11] abijma_: is there anyting in /var/log/mysql/error.log ? [20:11] abijma_: and this time, leave the --init-file argument [20:15] nacc, ppf: echo $? gives 0 (zero) as result. only error in error.log is Fatal error: mysql.user table is damaged. Please run mysql_upgrade. [20:17] abijma_: hrm [20:17] abijma_: can you file a bug on this? [20:17] abijma_: we can keep trying to fix it, but ideally the postinst would provide a bit better logging as to what is failing [20:17] hi so i am completely green to linux and i just build a computer and have installed ubuntu on it. I am trying to get the wifi dongle to work however i can not figure out how to even begin aproaching that. [20:17] nacc: where can i file this as a bug? [20:18] !bug | abijma_ [20:18] abijma_: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please report it using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs. [20:19] If there is anyone that could help with that, that'd be awesome. [20:20] nacc: thanks for your help. for now i guess only option is to re install mysql from scratch [20:24] Can anyone recommend a tablet to run ubuntu [20:24] hi so i am completely green to linux and i just build a computer and have installed ubuntu on it. I am trying to get the wifi dongle to work however i can not figure out how to even begin aproaching that? [20:26] dirtysouth_: What wifi dongle is it [20:26] abijma_: not necessarily [20:26] asus ac1900 USB-AC68 [20:26] abijma_: as that last output said (error.log), try running mysql_upgrade manually, i think your mysql tables are bit buggered [20:27] dirtysouth_: Sorry I can't go any further with you [20:28] bray90820 : is there a reason why? [20:28] running mysql_upgrade is only possible when mysql is running and that's currently the problem. i cannot get it start running... [20:30] dirtysouth_: I am not to familiar with USB wifi dongles there is a tool called ndiswrapper that will allow you to install the windows wifi driver in linux i havent used it in years so idk if it's being maintained anymore [20:30] I am better with internal cards [20:30] dirtysouth_: this might help - http://askubuntu.com/questions/879187/asus-usb-ac68-0b051817-drivers#879258 [20:30] bray90820: i appreciate it anyways [20:31] ducasse: i will check that out real fast thanks [20:31] dirtysouth_: Do you know how to use the terminal [20:31] i do not no [20:32] dirtysouth_: Do you know how to use the command prompt in windows?

Does anyone know of a way to reach out to ubuntu to get this music from 7 digital, or another source [20:44] bray90820: i can download them to a flashdrive and see if it owrks [20:44] dirtysouth_: Perfect [20:44] bray90820: does it have to be a specific format [20:44] ?

[21:45] *Something similar [21:46] dirtysouth_: Only 1 space [21:46] It's always only 1 space [21:46] no password asked for [21:46] but it gave me what you said [21:46] and i can access wifi networks soemhow [21:46] hah [21:46] ** the terminal session will remeber his sudo creditials [21:47] bray90820: it works [21:47] dirtysouth_: So you have wifi now? [21:47] bray90820: i do ya that frwaking awesome [21:47] One more thing to check === cppdeveloper is now known as notadeveloper [21:47] kk [21:48] bray90820: i am standing by [21:49] dirtysouth_: Try "sudo rfkill list" without the quotes and hit enter [21:49] dirtysouth_: Does that give you a blank line? [21:50] no it said soft and hard blocked no [21:50] dirtysouth_: So none of the lines are a yes? [21:50] bray90820: however i keep getting connected then disconnected [21:50] and none of the lines are a yes [21:51] dirtysouth_: Well were good there but lets see about the disconnecting [21:51] bray90820: yes please haha [21:52] dirtysouth_: Can you restart the computer? [21:52] bray90820: yes one sec === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [21:55] bray90820: it reset and when it came back on the signal is solid so i think its working [21:56] dirtysouth_: Your welcome [21:56] bray90820: oh so you think its good i appreciate it man [21:56] Yes I do think it's good [21:56] what is the correct way to tell iptables to load additional modules in Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04? on RH based systems there's a file named /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config where you can add a list of modules but I don't see a clean way to do it on my ubuntu systems [21:56] bray90820: i really do appreciate it man [21:57] It's no problem [21:57] Now if I was there it would have been done much quicker [21:57] I would have just typed 3 lines rebooted and been done [21:57] bray90820: i believe it haha [21:57] bray90820: i have no idea what I'm jumping around too [21:58] I have a really fancy ubuntu home server setup with a dvr and 4tb of storage [21:58] bray90820: what was the problem with it ? [21:58] dirtysouth_: What do you mean? [21:59] Do you mean why didn't the internet work from the start? [21:59] bray90820: ya like what wasn't working [21:59] Basically the driver wasn't installed [22:00] bray90820: oh well do you know how to get this computer to recognize more then one graphics card? [22:00] i can't get it to pick up more past number 2 [22:00] dirtysouth_: Depends [22:01] Is it a desktop? [22:01] yes it is [22:01] Are they nvida or ati video cards? [22:01] bray90820: it has 4 and soon to be 6 1070 gtx cards [22:01] by si [22:01] nvidia [22:02] You wouldn't happen to have the model numbers of the cards would you? [22:02] bray90820: ya one sec [22:03] bray90820: geforce GTX 1070 [22:03] thats all it says on box [22:03] Are all the cards the same? [22:03] yes [22:03] Ok [22:04] my board is an asus dog hero VIII [22:04] ROG [22:04] dog? [22:04] haha [22:04] ya bad typung [22:04] typing [22:04] its hard with a broken finger bumblfuzz [22:04] dirtysouth_: You wouldn't happen to know if there connected together through SLI would you [22:05] bray90820: no they are not [22:05] bray90820: they are running to pice slot through riser cards [22:05] bray90820: and powered through a modular power suppy [22:05] supply [22:07] hello [22:08] dirtysouth_: nvida is a bitch when it comes to linux here is a 12 second video from the creator of linux and his views on it [22:08] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xyv032JvLw [22:08] bray90820: not to hit you with too many questions but my wifi keeps discconecitnj and asking for credentials every so often [22:08] questiion is it hard to over write my existing system ubuntu 16.04 [22:08] no [22:08] lmao that video [22:09] bumblefuzz: Yes that video [22:09] Hi, I'm unable to get my printer running, it used to work fine (Canon pixma MX925), still works fine in windows dual boot. In brief, I'm now getting "Failed to start cups.service: Unit cups.service is masked." - I don't even know what 'masked' means. I've tried reinstalling cups, I get multiple messages about dependencies etc AND i'M WORRIED i MAY BE BREAKING IT FASTER THAN i FIX IT [22:09] bray90820: haha [22:09] bray90820: just watched it so is there no way to get it to work ? [22:09] oops caps [22:09] they are getting a little better https://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html [22:10] granted that's still closed source [22:10] dirtysouth_: I don't know if your talking about the internet or the video cards but in eather case I think I can get it to work [22:10] bray90820: ok haha i don't want to annoy you but could we get them to work ? [22:10] or rather would u be willing? [22:10] ben 64 was that for me ?? [22:11] scooterd: yeah, you can overwrite anything with relative ease [22:11] bumblefuzz: Maybe if linux ditched X and went with mirror nvida might actually actually be somewhat usable [22:11] dirtysouth_: Are you talking about the video cards or the internet? [22:12] ben 64 good the reason my kodi keeps crashing and i think its cause the guy who did my reload didn't wipe system [22:12] bray90820: both haha sorry i want the internet to stay working and i want to get the cards working too [22:12] dirtysouth_: Lets start with the internet [22:12] bray90820: kk [22:13] dirtysouth_: How long does the internet stay working? [22:13] bashing-om helped me couple weeks ago was good then crashed agian [22:13] bray90820: so basically it stays connected for a little bit then disconnects its self its sporadic sometimes 10 seconds sometimes 10 minutes [22:14] just mir? what about wayland? [22:14] bray90820: it keeps trying to authenticate [22:14] dirtysouth_: Can you send me a text file? [22:14] bray90820: yes if i know how to do that haha [22:14] ah yes, 'sudo apt install pastebinit' [22:15] ben64 is there a how to in forums ?? [22:15] bumblefuzz: The internet doesn't work so no he can't do that [22:15] scooterd: best to explain the actual issue [22:15] still? sorry [22:15] bumblefuzz: It's half working [22:15] ya its keeps disconnecting [22:15] ben64 my kodi keeps crashing other wise system works good] [22:16] dirtysouth_: Right click on the desktop the click new document then click empty document [22:16] bray90820: kk done [22:16] ben64 thinking system wasn,t over wrote when the guy installed 16.04 [22:16] i'm here because i'm wondering if i should triple boot [22:16] dirtysouth_: Ok now open the terminal [22:17] scooterd: you're still not explaining anything [22:17] whatever [22:17] bray90820: kk I'm there [22:18] ben64 basically my kodi keeeps crashing and im thinking its the way the guy installed 16.04 should it not be wiped then install ?? [22:18] type in "lspci -vnn | grep -i net" without the quotes and hit enter [22:18] dirtysouth_: [22:18] got it stand by please [22:18] trying something ... rebooting... [22:19] bray90820: so I'm being real i can't find the vertical bar [22:19] i feel dumb [22:20] dirtysouth_: Move your mouse to the top of the screen [22:20] bray90820 i did that [22:20] Did that work? [22:20] still no bar [22:21] Hello all, got a question about configuring Xserver/X11 on a headless server. I have an ubuntu 16.04 server with no graphical software installed atm. I want to set it up to forward graphical apps using X11 forwarding via ssh or xpra. What packages do I need to install on the server itself? [22:21] ben64 i've deleted kodi ,purged it and try reinstall works good for 2 weeks [22:21] is there a hexchat support server? [22:21] I think all I need is xauth, but I just wanted to double check [22:21] dirtysouth_: Do you menu menu bar when you say vertical bar? [22:21] Is there a HexChat support server [22:21] *Do you mean menu bar [22:21] ????? [22:21] no i mean the command you typed that vertical bar you used to separate it [22:22] dirtysouth_: Oh that was my bad [22:22] bray90820: so i don't need that? [22:22] dirtysouth_: You do need it and It's above the backslash [22:23] HAHAHAA [22:23] im stupid [22:23] dirtysouth_: In linux it's called a pipe [22:23] bray90820: noted i will remember that [22:24] bray90820: i got the command entered [22:24] Hit enter [22:24] bray90820: it pulled up a bunch of stuff about the asus ethernet wifi dongle [22:25] dirtysouth_: Can you copy and paste that in the text file and send it to me? [22:26] exit [22:28] bray90820: drop box ? [22:28] dirtysouth_: That will work [22:33] bray90820: do you have an email to send it too [22:33] bray90820: its being stupid [22:33] You can't paste it here? [22:35] www.dropbox.com/home?preview=bray+files [22:35] bray90820: that should be it [22:35] bray90820: first time using dropbox [22:36] Assuming your doing this from your mac Right click on the file in dropbox and click copy dropbox link then paste here [22:37] oh no lol i made the file and stored it in drop box in linux [22:37] ill get the link on the mac if thats better [22:37] That [22:37] dirtysouth_: That's probably easier [22:40] bray90820: its just not letting me copy the link I'm in the file section on drop box and right clicking the file itself [22:40] better idea [22:40] bray90820: kk sorry dude [22:40] use pastebin.com to paste it [22:40] hello need some help please [22:42] bray90820: kk [22:43] bray90820: i made it brayclovis [22:43] dirtysouth_: Can you paste the entire link? [22:45] bray90820: pastern.com/frysQ6MT [22:45] pastebin [22:45] sorry [22:45] ill have this down in a minute [22:45] It's ok [22:45] Haha [22:45] btw the graphs are running through the cpu and one of the cards is getting pretty darn warm [22:45] and the fans aren't kicking on [22:45] should i worry about tit [22:45] it [22:46] dirtysouth_: Not sure without more investigation === Jacob8432 is now known as Jacob843 === blkadder is now known as blkadder[afk] [22:47] hmm im gonna not worry for now [22:47] Hello I have a question, which distro do you think will work best for my AMD drivers? [22:47] the cpu has a cooler [22:47] bray90820: on a side note the internet has stayed connected this entire time [22:48] bray90820: i am not sure if thats just luck or what [22:48] I will be able to tell once I get the paste [22:49] bray90820: dude my bad [22:49] bray90820: i thought i pasted it Wth [22:49] bray90820: pastern.com/frysQ6MT [22:49] Oh you pasted me something but it didn't work I thought you were gonan repaste it that was my bad [22:49] ya i am [22:49] sorry [22:50] Is anyone able to help? [22:50] pastebin.com/frysQ6MT [22:50] thats it [22:50] i was being autocorrected [22:50] dirtysouth_: Just to note that says pastern you needed to send me pastebin but I got it working [22:50] Hey all, a while ago OerHeks helped me with a WiFi issue. I can turn it on now, however its really slow, currently using a friend's wifi usb dongle and its streaming a YouTube video much better than the built in Wifi is. Is there a way to see how I have it configured wrong for the built in wifi? [22:51] oi [22:51] bray90820: ya sorry about that dude it keeps auto correcting me [22:51] It's ok [22:51] Ok that paste was weird [22:52] 123 [22:52] Oi bruno [22:52] that was the line right after the command [22:52] What command will give me all hardware specificaitons of my machine? [22:52] Parada Interessante né? [22:52] dirtysouth_: can you close and reopen the terminal then type in "dmesg" without the quotes and paste me whatever it says it will be a lot of stuff [22:53] bray90820: on it [22:53] Carvalho onde eu to [22:53] I am sirilo [22:53] Dear lord [22:53] just a sec more [22:53] I told you it would be a lot [22:53] OerHeks, any chance you can help me some more with the new slowness issue? [22:55] is there a way to select all ? [22:56] skinux: Try sudo lshw in a term. [22:56] How come lspci gives only generic hardware names? [22:56] bray90820: or no [22:56] ? [22:57] /etc/network/interfaces is no longer considered, it seems what is in dhcpcd.conf is what's recognized [22:57] dirtysouth_: in the menu bar under edit [22:57] anywone know why [22:59] bray90820: pastebin.com/kbAsj4Cu [22:59] there u go [22:59] Howdy. I am trying to install Ubuntu on a R730XD with software raid on the two SSDs in the back flex bays. My partition layout is at ( https://i.imgur.com/vvk3s3S.png ). After installation, I just get a black screen, no GRUB or anything. I booted into rescue with the installer and GRUB is definitely installed. Before this, I even tried having GRUB on a single disk (1GB allocated), then setting up RAID on the remaining space with [22:59] LVM, but even that was giving me a black screen. Is there anything I should explicitly be trying on the 730xd to get Ubuntu to load up? [23:00] dirtysouth_: Got it looking it over now [23:00] bray90820: good to go man [23:02] !nomodeset | Jacob843 Maybe a graphic's issue ? [23:02] Jacob843 Maybe a graphic's issue ?: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [23:02] dirtysouth_: Do you need to use wifi or could you use ethernet [23:02] Jacob843: were you able to use any other OSes with the current RAID hardware configuration? I enabled RAID on my computer one time by changing jumpers on the motherboard and moving some cables and tried to install Debian 3.0 a long time ago, but I had problems so I just had them at two different IDEs (that is, no RAID :c, WAAAAAAAAAH, to this day one of the worst moments of my life). [23:03] bray90820: i might be able to figure out a way to rewire the house to make ethernet work but wireless would be so much easier [23:03] awesomess3, aye, we were able to load FreeNAS 9 and 10 just fine, but that proved to be too unstable for our workload, so we want straight up Ubuntu. [23:03] bray90820: I'm building like 6 to 7 more machines like this [23:03] awesomess3, however, FreeNAS ZFS'd a boot system and there was no manually partitioning taking place. [23:03] dirtysouth_: Alright we'll contunie with wifi [23:05] dirtysouth_: Close and reopen the terminal then type in "dmesg | grep -i usb" without the quotes then hit enter and paste that to me [23:05] Assuming your wifi card is usb [23:06] Bashing-om, will try. Not sure if this counts, but iDrac enterprise console has the same issue [23:07] Would someone be willing to take a look at my hardware specs and a list of apps I typically use, and tell me if it's normal for my machine to be sluggish? [23:07] dghdfgh [23:07] ghdfgh [23:07] fhfh [23:07] dfgh [23:07] dfh [23:07] df [23:07] bray90820: pastebin.com/69fqh0i4 === ariver is now known as Guest85819 [23:08] skinux: What appears to be the issue? [23:08] bray90820: i wish i could understand how your finding what your looking for in all of that [23:08] You'll pick up a lot over time [23:09] bray90820: i hope so i wanna be able to do that this is like being a computer doctor [23:10] dirtysouth_: What brand is the wifi card? [23:10] Asus [23:11] Ubuntu philosophy --- https://aeon.co/ideas/descartes-was-wrong-a-person-is-a-person-through-other-persons [23:11] My issue is that my system tends to get sluggish and I don't really think it should be. [23:11] dirtysouth_: Honestly it seems to be setup correctly [23:12] skinux: What desktop are you using and what graphics card do you have? [23:12] MATE [23:12] Let me try to find out [23:12] also, define "sluggish" [23:12] skinux: Ok...so that's the desktop... [23:13] Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core Processor Graphics Controler [23:13] "Sluggish" = not lightning fast, light speed! Warp 9.9! :) [23:13] bray90820: maybe it was like a temporary glitch when i installed ubuntu the other day i couldnt get it to boot up or show up at all all it would do is go to black screen i kept trying and then got and error message screen then it came on and installed [23:13] Jacob843: what? how did the hard drives get partitioned in the first place if there was no manual partitioning in the past? [23:13] so i am hoping that my install wasn't bad [23:13] skinux: Onboard graphics controller...yersh? [23:13] * tgm4883 throws a rubber bear at YankDownUnder [23:13] bray90820: i tried doing it the way i have always done it [23:13] It can take a couple of seconds to switch between programs, sometimes it can take several. [23:13] tgm4883: :) [23:14] awesomess3, freenas handled everything itself. From my understanding, it put everything in a zfs1 setup then installed freebsd to that. [23:14] YankDownUnder: This is a laptop, so I assume so. [23:14] skinux: Is it safe to assume you've installed all the proper drivers for the system? [23:14] Umm, that I honestly don't know about. [23:14] awesomess3, that image I linked is the current partition scheme that I manually did. Before I installed Ubuntu I wiped all drives and started fresh. [23:14] bray90820: anyways if you think its good ill leave it that way. i do seriously appreciate the effort to look at it [23:14] skinux: Right oh - one thing at a time - step by step, yersh? Yersh. Right...how much RAM do you have? 8gb? [23:14] I don't remember if I've specifically installed any drivers or if I'm using only what Ubuntu comes with. [23:14] skinux: 3rd gen. What's the output of 'free -m' and 'lscpu' use pastebin [23:14] !pastebin | skinux [23:14] skinux: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [23:15] I have 4GB RAM and 4GB SWAP [23:15] skinux: Right oh - can you please do as tgm4883 suggested, please? [23:16] bray90820: if u are able to look at the card issue tonight I'm game but i can understand if nah [23:17] https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/76049438703a43ab9048f466c0be76f1 [23:17] skinux: well there's your problem [23:17] ?? [23:17] skinux: you're swapping quite a bit [23:17] Jacob843: what's wrong with ubuntu's default erase-partitioning during install? [23:17] and swap is slow [23:18] How do I fix that? [23:18] Is there still a swappiness setting? [23:18] tgm4883: skinux: inxi -F #show CPU, RAM, partition size, & live/connected hard/usb drive sizes. [23:18] awesomess3, I need software raid on the two SSD's in the back; this is a for an enterprise customer and needs redundancy. Normally I'd do HW raid, but since we thought we were going to use FreeNAS, we only got a crappy S130 raid controller from Dell. [23:19] Can anyone help me install Japan input on 16.04 using Moritz? [23:19] awesomess3: that's not super helpful at the moment... [23:20] Jacob843: software RAID? That sounds..................that sounds retarded. That defeats the purpose of RAID because it's the hardware that makes it efficient. [23:20] Excuse me, not Moritz. Mozc. [23:20] awesomess3, yes it is not ideal, but we didn't expect FreeNAS to fall out. This is what I have currently [23:20] skinux: In conjunction with what tgm4883 is advising - if you walked in to my office with this issue, the first thing I'd be suggesting would be to bump up the RAM to 8gb...my next suggest would be to use XFce or some other desktop that wasn't so graphics intensive (turn off compsitiing and all that jazz) [23:20] tgm4883: oh really? Well IMO it's better than 'free -m' and 'lscpu' [23:21] awesomess3: where in this output does it show me SWAP usage? [23:22] tgm4883: it's in black text so it blends into the background of your terminal [23:22] https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/76049438703a43ab9048f466c0be76f1 [23:22] dirtysouth_: I dont have time right now but i will be back in like 6 hours if you'll be around [23:22] skinux: "ps aux --sort=-%mem | awk 'NR<=10{print $0}'" [23:23] dirtysouth_: Can you paste me one more thing [23:23] bray90820: is there a way i might be able to like keep in contact aside from here i will have other technical issues that my brother cant solve and i am trying to get these rigs up and running for my family [23:23] ya [23:23] "sudo modprobe -v 8814au" without the quotes [23:23] What is all that? Tons of numbers in the output. [23:23] dirtysouth_: I would prefer to keep it on here [23:23] awesomess3: ah, it's under partitions. I'm guessing that the -F is full, so there's no more information it could give me [23:24] skinux: the command I gave you should show your top 10 ram users [23:24] kk i am new to this and don't know how to find people on here [23:24] bray90820: im typing it now [23:24] Thanks [23:24] https://gist.github.com/skinuxgeek/76049438703a43ab9048f466c0be76f1 [23:25] is the au caps or no [23:25] skinux: do you know what /usr/share/code/code is? [23:26] dirtysouth_: the au is not in caps [23:26] oh it's vscode [23:26] bray90820: it came back with blank line [23:27] skinux: I'd see if you can't bump your system up to 8GB of RAM [23:27] That's not going to happen any time soon. [23:27] tgm4883: Zackly roight. [23:27] skinux: vscode looks to be using quite a bit of memory, and all your chrome tabs aren't helping either [23:27] dirtysouth_: Try it one more time [23:27] "sudo modprobe -v 8814au" [23:28] So, bottom line, my problem is that I'm using up all my memory? [23:28] skinux: Have you considered using a different desktop manager that eats up the least amount of system (overall) resource? Like XFce or WindowMaker or something lighter? [23:28] skinux: yea, that's a problem [23:28] I thought MATE WAS a desktop that used less memory [23:28] skinux: Mate/Gnome/Cinnamon - not to mention Unity - eat up heaps of resource... [23:28] bray90820: nothing man same just wen to next line [23:28] I'll look into that [23:28] skinux: No. Not really. Mate uses heaps of resource...heaps [23:29] Hmm. [23:29] * YankDownUnder hugs WindowMaker [23:29] skinux: tgm4883: this is fun! https://gist.github.com/psycho23/ee0b397e2a6f23f508ee00cb9282812b [23:30] bray90820: you want me to hold off and wait for you till tomorrow or another time so someone else doesn't jack up my rig and make it harder to set up the graphics cards [23:30] bray90820: i won't be able to be on tonight in 6 hours but tomorrow i can e=be [23:30] That wold be good [23:31] bray90820: ill hold up till tomorrow for the cards then or another time you choose. is that command i typed supposed to spit something back [23:32] YankDownUnder: skinux mate itself looks pretty light https://flexion.org/posts/2014-03-memory-consumption-of-linux-desktop-environments/ [23:32] not the lightest but still good [23:32] OKay [23:33] tgm4883: I'm still huggin my WindowMaker...sometimes E17...sometimes XFce...but mostly WindowMaker (I'm very old fashioned and a skinflint) [23:33] granted we're talking not much, I'd be more concerned with the massive amounts of memory that chrome is sucking up [23:33] skinflint ? [23:33] dirtysouth_: Economical. [23:33] dirtysouth_: One more thing close and open terminal then type "ifconfig" without the quotes and paste me that [23:33] YankDownUnder: thanks for the new word ill be using that at work [23:34] dirtysouth_: It's an ancient word, but hey, that's cool stuff... :) [23:34] dirtysouth_: Skinflint -> Scrooge, miser, pennypincher...and etc. === blkadder[afk] is now known as blkadder [23:36] bray90820: pastebin.com/Pt5h4Au5 [23:37] YankDownUnder: i have heard the other but that one is new [23:37] YankDownUnder: do you know what a clowder is ? [23:37] YankDownUnder: it isn't relevant to money or computer btw [23:39] dirtysouth_: close and open terminal again and paste the output of this "sudo lshw -C network" [23:39] Without the quotes [23:39] bray90820: kk [23:41] bray90820: pastebin.com/aaGrpd4b [23:44] dirtysouth_: ugh [23:44] There is something I'm looking for that I can't find :P [23:44] bray90820: haha i feel like i broke it [23:45] Do you see the wifi icon on the right side of the menu bar? === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [23:45] like from the home screen [23:45] yes [23:45] i see the fan icon [23:46] Rick click then click edit connection and tell me what it says under name [23:47] it lists ethernet wired connection one and under that wifi and my home network [23:48] Does it say wlan0? [23:48] bray90820: no [23:49] For crying out loud haha [23:49] bray90820: is that a bad thing [23:49] I think I will need to continue this later [23:49] right on man [23:49] dont stress it [23:49] Not a bad thing just means I need to find the right command [23:49] See you later dude === ilfantomas_ is now known as ilfantomas [23:49] u on tomorrow [23:49] * bray90820 gone phishing [23:49] 'll be here tomorrow [23:49] kk [23:49] ill se u on [23:50] hello in older versions of ubuntu <16.04 you can easily run initctl cmd but now you can't so my question is if you know an similar cmd for initctl reload-configuration without changing to upstart? [23:53] Lapotor: without changing to upstart? It's systemd now [23:53] yeah but i don't found the similar cmd for systemd tgm4883 [23:54] Lapotor: does 'systemctl' do what you need? [23:55] Lapotor: assuming that you're looking for changes in the unit files, should be "systemctl daemon-reload" I believe [23:55] tgm4883 they all do that but i didn't found the cmd from systemd to do the same as 'initctl reload-configuration' [23:55] Lapotor: what does "initctl reload-configuration" do [23:58] tgm4883 it force the init daemon to reload its configuration files. [23:58] Lapotor: that's what the command I just gave you does [23:58] Lapotor: 'systemctl daemon-reload' [23:58] tgm4883: great thanks [23:58] will test it on my installer [23:59] Lapotor: on your installer? [23:59] cheers [23:59] Lapotor: why not use a .deb? [23:59] tgm will do later on
