| seventy | anyone know how to avoid getting 403 on wget? I've tried changing user agent | 00:05 |
| awesomess3 | tgm4883: are you kidding me I put that shit on my github: https://github.com/psycho23/learned_stuff/blob/master/README.md | 00:07 |
| awesomess3 | seventy: try their root directory and see if that gives a 200 before you start with any more sophisticated URL | 00:08 |
| dax | awesomess3: calm down | 00:09 |
| awesomess3 | seventy: and then use a different browser to check if hey....oh no it's dax | 00:09 |
| dax | i am here | 00:09 |
| dax | 24/7 | 00:09 |
| tgm4883 | awesomess3: meh, stuff I need daily I remember, stuff I don't need often I google (unless it's for work, then it's documented somewhere). In this case, I needed something that could be put on a pastebin. Usually for this info I'd just hit up htop | 00:09 |
| dax | you should hide | 00:09 |
| seventy | awesomess3, it's google | 00:10 |
| awesomess3 | seventy: oh.....then...um........*runs* | 00:10 |
| tgm4883 | seventy: what url | 00:10 |
| seventy | tgm4883, they are 90seconds url that allow streaming of any mp3 on googleplaymusic | 00:11 |
| seventy | I want to rip them | 00:11 |
| seventy | you can right click and download audio | 00:11 |
| seventy | and it's a clean download like off an FTP site | 00:11 |
| seventy | but wget gets blocked obvs | 00:11 |
| seventy | I haven't tried curl | 00:11 |
| tgm4883 | seventy: seems like a lot of work to reinvent the wheel http://gmusicproxy.net/ | 00:12 |
| seventy | It's because I have my libraries there and their API sorts songs I upload. Free music isn't the issue here :D | 00:13 |
| tgm4883 | seventy: so use gmusicproxy.... | 00:14 |
| tgm4883 | seventy: I'd assume the problem with your wget so far is not the useragent, but the authentication | 00:16 |
| seventy | Ill just add gmusicproxy for the downloading part (assuming it allows that)? | 00:17 |
| tgm4883 | seventy: that's how I used it when I wanted to do whole house audio prior to the chromecast audios | 00:17 |
| ayan | is there a way to get package source list using apt-get madison <pkg> in a way that it searches for *exactly* the <pkg> instead of using <pkg> as a sub-string search? | 00:21 |

| isene | Which is the laptop with the longest battery life, running Ubuntu? | 00:36 |
| bazhang | !hcl | isene have a read | 00:37 |
| ubottu | isene have a read: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection | 00:37 |
| bazhang | isene, thats something that depends on the individual use of the computer as well | 00:37 |
| tgm4883 | so many variables | 00:38 |
| isene | Not looking for supported hardware. Looking for people's experience. Let's hear what people have as for battery life. | 00:39 |
| bazhang | isene, this isnt that sort of polling channel | 00:40 |
| isene | Anyone here with more than 10h? | 00:40 |
| bazhang | isene, try #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:40 |
| isene | It is clearly on topic to ask for the hardware running the longest with Ubuntu as the OS, no? | 00:41 |
| bazhang | no | 00:41 |
| bazhang | again isene don't poll here | 00:41 |
| isene | Why? Where does it state I cannot ask for people's experience with Ubuntu and battery life? It's not a poll, it's asking for what people think it's excellent battery life with Ubuntu. | 00:43 |
| tgm4883 | isene: A) because it's not a support question and B) Because it's a terrible question since it suggests you only care about battery life and no other options. In any case, you're looking for #ubuntu-offtopic | 00:47 |
| Epx998 | is there an initrd.gz netboot image that has all the dang drviers like megaraid and NIC drivers? | 00:50 |
| isene | A) I'm asking for sorry in choosing the right hardware. B) Battery life is my top priority, although I have a dozen other factors on my list. If I had a question about the Julia package on Ubuntu, that would certainly not indicate that I do not care about any other programming languages. | 00:51 |

| nacc | Polarcraft: well, given they are different commands to screen, seems odd to compare them | 03:51 |
| Epx998 | I am trying to add modules to the netboot initrd.gz image (megaraid and broadcom) are there any guides that explain how to do that? | 03:52 |
| Polarcraft | nacc, then why can I run my miner the same way but not my node? | 03:53 |
| nacc | Polarcraft: you didn't say that ... you said why does commandX run as my user when commandY fail as root | 03:53 |
| Polarcraft | Sorry my fault, should of gave more context. The command is ran the same way as my miner is, but for some odd reason with that line it doesn't. | 03:54 |
| === root is now known as Guest85353 | ||

| nacc | Guest85353: i believe you can specify it in /etc/network/interfaces with an 'up' option to the interface stanza | 04:05 |
| nacc | Guest85353: to add a route specifically when that interface is brought up | 04:05 |
| Guest85353 | nacc you mean add it to | 04:06 |

| ducasse | Mo4_xi1_ge1_Ren2: ok. what does 'sudo systemctl start lightdm' say? | 07:08 |

| ducasse | pastebin output from 'systemctl status -l --no-pager lightdm' | 07:11 |
| alkisg | akik: if it doesn't, that means that they were manually installed, not automatically | 07:12 |
| alkisg | akik: which package are you trying to uninstall? | 07:12 |
| akik | alkisg: whole of unity & ubuntu-desktop (i installed those on top of my kubuntu installation) | 07:12 |
| akik | alkisg: i can dig the apt history log for those packages but it's not so nice | 07:13 |
| alkisg | akik: did you use `apt install ubuntu-desktop` or `tasksel`? | 07:13 |
| akik | alkisg: apt install | 07:13 |
| alkisg | akik: try apt purge --auto-remove ubuntu-desktop, and then apt purge --auto-remove with no other params; sometimes apt can only do that after the initial purge | 07:14 |
| akik | alkisg: ok thanks i tried "apt-get autoremove --purge" | 07:14 |
| ducasse | akik: some of those packages may be relied upon by optional dependencies of other packages. if something else recommends/suggests it, it won't be removed. | 07:14 |
| OerHeks | there used to be a purekde factoid, but it is old, maybe this page gives a clue: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekdeoneiric .. but it is all manually | 07:15 |

| wafflejock | crimi, yeah you can just dd the iso or img file to the SD card typically | 07:45 |
| crimi | how? | 07:46 |
| crimi | im new ubuntu user | 07:46 |
| wafflejock | crimi, before you put the card in or if you have it in remove it and type lsblk and look for what drives/partitions are on there, then put the sdcard in and type lsblk again and tell us what the name of the new thing is that shows up should be something like sdb or sdc | 07:47 |
| YankDownUnder | crimi: Here's somethign to read: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md | 07:47 |
| wafflejock | !dd | 07:47 |
| crimi | ok wait a second | 07:47 |

| crimi | i dont see any diference ... | 07:50 |
| wafflejock | crimi, yeah doesn't look like the drive is showing up there best to use a paste site like paste.ubuntu.com for multiline stuff though | 07:50 |
| crimi | no no, now it showing it | 07:50 |
| crimi | sry | 07:50 |
| crimi | sdd1 | 07:51 |
| crimi | so | 07:51 |
| madduck | it's 2017 and I can't use the initramfs shell to debug a problem for lack of a USB keyboard driver, despite MODULES=most. WTF? | 07:52 |
| wafflejock | crimi, yeah so the command you want to run is dd if=/home/user/Downloads/imagefile.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M, but you replace if with the source (input) and of (output) with the actual target drive so instead of /dev/sdX would be /dev/sdd | 07:52 |
| wafflejock | crimi, oh you'll have to run with sudo as well and absolutely critical you get the of parameter right | 07:52 |
| wafflejock | crimi, if you target the wrong partition or drive with dd you will wipe it out with whatever your source data was | 07:53 |
| crimi | ok... | 07:53 |
| crimi | well hope me the best | 07:53 |
| crimi | and thx | 07:53 |
| alkisg | madduck: usb keyboards work fine in initramfs here, does your keyboard need an unusual driver? | 07:53 |
| wafflejock | crimi, no problem let me know how it goes | 07:53 |
| wafflejock | crimi, typically you will be waiting for a few minutes while it writes depending on the disk size and image size | 07:54 |
| madduck | alkisg: I've tried 3 off-the-shelf standard keyboards. | 07:54 |
| wafflejock | crimi, if it seems to return immediately run "sync" to be sure all the data has been written to disk | 07:54 |
| crimi | well, the comand didnt worked | 07:55 |
| alkisg | madduck: maybe the issue is with the usb controller of your motherboard? can you check recovery mode or something to see which modules it loads? | 07:55 |
| OerHeks | madduck try an usb port that is not blue ( blue=usb3) | 07:55 |
| wafflejock | crimi, what feedback I may have fat fingered something, paste the command and output on a paste site ideally | 07:55 |
| alkisg | madduck: ah, how do you break in initramfs? like, break=bottom or break=top? | 07:56 |
| crimi | what? | 07:56 |

| crime | hello | 09:00 |
| Simooon | !next release | 09:01 |
| crime | im at work right now XD how you doing? | 09:01 |
| OerHeks | Simooon, tomorrow, 17.04 zesty zebra | 09:01 |
| Simooon | OerHeks, okay, was just trying to find out whether it was tomorrow or two days from now :-P | 09:02 |
| Simooon | and thanks :-) | 09:02 |
| Simooon | Anyway are you guys going to install the default ubuntu, or Gnome, I'm seriously considering gnome, since we have to shift to that anyway in two releases :-) | 09:04 |
| OerHeks | Simooon, unity will be available, still. 2 releases away is too soon to ask, i guess. | 09:05 |
| akik | Simooon: use the environment you feel is best for you. no one is forcing you | 09:05 |
| OerHeks | btw polling is useless here | 09:05 |
| Simooon | akik, I know, was just interested in hearing what people are doing, Personally I like to keep things as vanilla as posible, so I can kust install ubuntu and feel at home, that is why I'm considering getting a head start on gnome, haven't really used it since ubuntu dropped it years ago. | 09:07 |
| Simooon | *just | 09:07 |
| Simooon | and that was gnome 2... | 09:07 |
| AEL-H1 | Hi guys, I am running a python script in a screen session that downloads youtube videos and takes the audio part. I am encountering a weird error where if I leave the screen session the script continues with no problems, however if I close the SSH session the script starts throwing SSL certificate errors. Does anyone know what might be happening here? | 09:08 |
| Simooon | OerHeks, because there is too many people or why?! | 09:08 |
| OerHeks | Simooon, this is the support channel, try #ubuntu-discuss or #ubuntu-offtopic ? | 09:09 |
| Simooon | Okay | 09:10 |
| crime | so ,how is your day ? | 09:10 |
| akik | Simooon: if you want that gnome 2 feeling, use mate desktop | 09:10 |
| Simooon | akik, I don't want that, I want the default desktop, just considering getting a head start on the next default | 09:11 |

| ubottu | The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 09:13 |
| Eightynine | My system has some performance issues when I using Chromium. Is that because of tons of tabs? But I still have 1 GB free RAM. | 09:14 |
| OerHeks | Eightynine, are you surprised, tons of tabs? | 09:15 |
| Simooon | Eightynine, as long as the tab is not loaded it doesn't take any RAM, and if you still have one GB of free RAM I doubt that is the reason. | 09:15 |
| Simooon | Eightynine, but if you are running something processor hungry in a lot of tabs (or even just a few) that sounds like a reasonable explanation. | 09:16 |
| OerHeks | swtiching tabs makes your swap work, i think that is what you experience now | 09:17 |
| Eightynine | And also it's processes take from 18.9 to 62.8% CPU when playing YouTube videos. And sometimes it could take around 90%. I'm using Core i3 6100 | 09:17 |
| AEL-H1 | Is there a difference between the functionality of a screen session whether or not there is an active SSH session? | 09:18 |
| Eightynine | 17.2% CPU for X.Org. | 09:18 |
| k1l_ | AEL-H1: if the ssh connection cuts off the user will be logged out and the program running will be canceled. when using screen the screen session will just be detached and you can connect to the system again an reattach the screen session | 09:20 |
| akik | AEL-H1: no | 09:20 |
| hateball | Eightynine: What kind of CPU do you have? If it's a low power CPU and you're playing HD video it is only normal with high usage | 09:21 |
| hateball | Eightynine: Even more so if these videos are using flash and not html5 | 09:21 |
| k1l_ | Eightynine: what video card is in use? | 09:22 |
| Eightynine | I'll write again. I'm using Core i3 6100. When I stop video Chromium and X.Org take up to 20-25%. | 09:22 |
| Eightynine | Integrated graphics. | 09:22 |
| Cedara | Does anyone know if there is a client for Mastodon? the github link I know has only tooter for chrome | 09:25 |
| akik | AEL-H1: does your script keep on running ok if you don't use screen? | 09:27 |
| akik | AEL-H1: there's another app called tmux that does the same thing as screen. you might try it | 09:27 |
| dym | Hey everyone. I have a problem. Im trying to install Ubuntu LTS onto an Alix2c4 board via USB.

| akik | AEL-H1: tmux and screen do the same thing. did you try tmux? | 10:02 |
| k1l_ | AEL-H1: i wonder what the coincidence with the connection is. that sounds like its more of a network/connection issue. | 10:03 |
| k1l_ | AEL-H1: are you using proxy or vpn? | 10:03 |
| AEL-H1 | k1l_: Nope, just ssh direct to the ip | 10:07 |

| AEL-H1 | k1l_: Yep, the world files etc are stored in home | 10:12 |
| k1l_ | hmm, then look at the specific errormessages you get | 10:12 |
| AEL-H1 | k1l_: It just seems to be SSL certificate errors, but what I can't understand is why they would suddenly arise when the SSH session is closed, everything is done within the screen session so my understanding is that none of the processes should be tied to my user, but perhaps that is where I am wrong | 10:14 |

| AEL-H1 | akik: I assume the files are unencrypted automatically when I log in, but I specifically don't do anything encryption related when I log in | 10:18 |
| akik | AEL-H1: there was a bug with systemd that killed user processes on logout but not sure if that applies because you say that there are just certificate errors | 10:21 |
| k1l_ | akik: yes, i think its somewhat in this direction | 10:22 |
| Eightynine | Will apt always be in Ubuntu or you will drop it in favor of snap? | 10:22 |
| AEL-H1 | I think I need to give more context, I have created a bot, in python, for a discord server. The bot will join the voice channel I am in, and basically play music. I know the program is not being killed because the bot will stay in the channel with me but play no music. if I kill the process it leaves the channel. | 10:22 |
| k1l_ | Eightynine: it will stay. but "always" is a bit long. i dont know what happens in 20 years :) | 10:22 |

| jaydemir | dym: good luck with that. Ubuntu is flexible enough to where you can install it on any machine and swap the drive | 12:04 |
| jaydemir | I had installed Ubuntu on a drive using an AMD APU and popped it into a intel core2duo machine. Worked fine. | 12:04 |

| tsglove | What can I check? | 12:42 |
| === Guest5140 is now known as violet | ||
| ikonia | tsglove: what is the resolver your vm is using | 12:43 |
| mas886 | tsglove: Yeah googled it and only found old answers. fedora: on ubuntu 16.10 and ubuntu 17.04 | 12:44 |
| tsglove | ikonia, fetching that info. This is still new for me, so I am still getting oriented with the terms and location of config files. | 12:45 |
| ikonia | tsglove: thats fine | 12:45 |
| ikonia | tsglove: what version of ubuntu is running in the guest ? | 12:45 |
| tsglove | 16.04 | 12:45 |
| ikonia | perfect | 12:45 |
| scottjl | tsglove: cat /etc/resolv.conf is anything in there? | 12:45 |
| ikonia | resolve.conf will just point at dnsmasq on 127.0.01 | 12:46 |
| ikonia | resolv.conf | 12:46 |
| scottjl | well then that would be something in there, wouldn't it? | 12:47 |
| tsglove | Yes... it's in /etc/resolv.conf and inside I have nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 12:47 |
| lavinho | someone can help me? | 12:47 |
| ikonia | tsglove: right, so we need to look at what nameservers dnsmasq is using for you | 12:47 |
| ikonia | tsglove: is this a desktop install you've done | 12:48 |
| lavinho | ideapad 100s 11lby blocks ubuntu | 12:48 |
| lavinho | any ideias ? | 12:48 |
| tsglove | Would that then be in /etc/bind/named.conf.options ? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | lavinho: what ? | 12:48 |
| ikonia | tsglove: no | 12:48 |
| tsglove | ikonia, it's a server install, without window manager | 12:48 |

| ikonia | tsglove: you are not running a dns server are you ? | 12:48 |
| tsglove | ikonia, ahhhh... so I have messed up. I installed bind9 | 12:48 |
| lavinho | My pc lenovo ideapad 100s 11 lby blocks with ubuntu | 12:49 |
| ikonia | tsglove: ok - remove that to remove any confusion | 12:49 |
| tsglove | ikonia, ok, let me clear it up | 12:49 |
| ikonia | lavinho: blocks with ubuntu ? | 12:49 |
| ikonia | lavinho: do you mean you can't install ubuntu ? | 12:49 |
| lavinho | yes | 12:49 |

| lavinho | but | 12:50 |
| ikonia | lavinho: what is the problem then ? as "blocks with ubuntu" doesn't really mean anything | 12:50 |
| lavinho | blocks , freezes | 12:50 |
| ikonia | lavinho: ok - freezes | 12:50 |
| mas886 | scottjl: trying this | 12:50 |
| ikonia | lavinho: does the whole OS/Screen freeze or just an application | 12:50 |
| tsglove | ikonia, I setup this ubuntu VM inside VirtualBox, in an "internal network". And I wanted this same Ubuntu VM to work as a gateway between the internal network, and the "external" network. So I installed two network cards, also installed DHCP server (isc), ... and stuck in DNS | 12:50 |
| lavinho | totaly | 12:51 |
| ikonia | tsglove: you understand that virtual boxes offeres a bridge mode so you don't need a host to act as a bridge | 12:51 |
| ikonia | tsglove: and again - even if you need a bridge why are you running a dhcp server and dns | 12:51 |
| ikonia | back in a minute | 12:51 |
| mas886 | scottjl: Haha, now "libcrypto.so.10" is missing. | 12:52 |
| tsglove | ikonia, yes, I know about bridge mode. The reason I want to do an internal network is because these machines, I want to be able to block all traffic going in/out of them to the "external" network | 12:52 |
| lavinho | Do I have to patch the kernel? | 12:53 |
| mas886 | Woah I'm gonna pass. Dependences are all messed. | 12:53 |

| NaturallyCurious | Does Installing Cross Over on Ubuntu GNU/Linux make my computer vulnerable to windows viruses? | 13:50 |
| mcphail | NaturallyCurious: generally no, but a malicious script _could_ damage your files and install. Crossover/wine does not restrict what the windows executable can do | 13:51 |
| mcphail | NaturallyCurious: basically, have a backup if you're running anything dodgy | 13:51 |
| NaturallyCurious | I have setup a think pad for my mother who is a school teach with Ubuntu GNU/Linux. I installed cross over just so that she has access to microsoft office 2013 if she needs it. Will doing so mean that her computer needs an antivirus as well? | 13:52 |
| NaturallyCurious | Or is this case scenario ok | 13:52 |
| mcphail | NaturallyCurious: if it is a legitimate copy of Office, there should be no problem from the executable itself. But, say, a malicious excel macro could still wreak havok, just as it could on Windows | 13:54 |
| NaturallyCurious | ok, cool. Will keep that in mind. | 13:54 |
| NaturallyCurious | Thank you for your reply | 13:54 |
| ducasse | NaturallyCurious: the important thing is to have regular, tested backups. | 13:54 |
| NaturallyCurious | How do the backups work on Ubuntu? | 13:54 |
| NaturallyCurious | I am only really familiar with the backup system "Time Machine" for mac | 13:55 |

| === fedora is now known as rory | ||

| xenefix | Or if serious backups, try backula | 13:55 |

| NaturallyCurious | IS there an easy to understand manual for that one? | 13:57 |
| NaturallyCurious | Is the built in backup tool (already in ubuntu) any good? | 13:59 |
| NaturallyCurious | I mean, I don't want my mom to kill me if something goes wrong and I don't have a way to backup and restore files | 13:59 |
| marvin2 | why would I use fakeroot to build archives over just executing the command as root? | 14:00 |
| === bollo_ is now known as bollo | ||

| ikevin | Pegasus_RPG, i think it's not related to kernel installation so related to fs | 14:59 |
| Pegasus_RPG | ikevin: sure, the fs is taking longer to respond due to the virus scan, but that shouldn't cause it to fail | 14:59 |
| nacc | Pegasus_RPG: hard to say without more details of where it's failing (you'd need to debug dpkg) | 15:00 |
| ikevin | Pegasus_RPG, you can make a test using ionice | 15:00 |

| nacc | Pegasus_RPG: at least, afaict | 15:01 |

| nacc | that1guy: all software that is in the repositories, yes | 15:04 |
| nacc | that1guy: your questions are very vague, it's hard to answer | 15:05 |
| Pegasus_RPG | nacc: plus it prevents using my Linux systems as unwitting repos/vectors for Windows/Mac viruses | 15:05 |
| that1guy | i am trying to install crypto wallets. | 15:05 |
| Pegasus_RPG | but yes, gotchas indeed occur occasionally | 15:05 |
| that1guy | it does not seem to be in repositories | 15:05 |
| nacc | that1guy: what is 'crypto wallets'? where do you have the name from, etc. | 15:05 |
| nacc | tgm4883: you went through the step of tweaking and having gnome not manage the desktop? | 15:06 |
| that1guy | like bitcoin wallets, software that holds they coins and verifies the blockchains | 15:06 |
| nacc | tgm4883: (with nitrogen) | 15:06 |
| tgm4883 | nacc: in the tweak tool the option isn't there. There's a "no icons on desktop" which I'm guessing is the same value | 15:06 |
| tgm4883 | nacc: if there's other settings, I don't see them | 15:07 |
| nacc | tgm4883: i wonder if it's background -> none? | 15:07 |
| tgm4883 | hmm, maybe. Let me try | 15:08 |
| nacc | that seems like it would just turn off the wallpaper though | 15:08 |
| nacc | tgm4883: you might try asking the gnome folks, seems like something where the documentation that's out there is constantly out of date :) | 15:08 |

| Pegasus_RPG | Thanks all | 15:10 |
| nacc | tgm4883: ah interesting! | 15:10 |
| nacc | tgm4883: so yeah, it's something competing between the two | 15:11 |

| nacc | tgm4883: dconf -> org.gnome.desktop.background.draw-background ? | 15:12 |
| nacc | tgm4883: or is that hte same value as "none"? | 15:12 |
| nacc | tgm4883: you could also mess with the opacity there, i think, and see if you can see the nitrogen backgrond | 15:12 |

| Tim_Thaler | Hi, how do i convert upstart to System-V Init ? | 15:48 |
| nacc | Tim_Thaler: not sure why you'd do that on ubuntu? are you on 14.04? | 15:49 |
| Tim_Thaler | i would like to know , why upstart was dropped by Canonical... | 15:50 |
| nacc | Tim_Thaler: that's a different question | 15:50 |
| Tim_Thaler | any valuable links ? | 15:50 |
| nacc | Tim_Thaler: and is offtopic for the support channel | 15:50 |
| nacc | Tim_Thaler: feel free to ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-discuss | 15:51 |
| OerHeks | upstart is developd by canonical, but the Debian project decided to adopt systemd on a future release in 2014, Mark Shuttleworth announced that Ubuntu would begin plans to migrate to systemd itself to maintain consistency with upstream.. | 15:53 |

| marvin2 | are nautilus and Files the same thing? or is nautilus just an alias for Files | 15:55 |
| Azulflame | Files is the shortcut name, which could be reassigned. Nautilus is the program that is your actual file manager | 15:56 |
| nacc | marvin2: the other way around for the latter, i think (by default) -- i think maybe it's adjustable? | 15:56 |
| Azulflame | on Ubuntu Mate (what I'm running), Nautilus has been replaced with Caja | 15:56 |
| nacc | what Azulflame said, more clearly :) | 15:56 |
| Azulflame | and Files launches Caja | 15:56 |
| marvin2 | how can I tell what it is? help/about just says "Files" | 15:56 |
| Azulflame | what OS are you running? Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Gentoo? | 15:57 |
| marvin2 | I have a script in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts, but I can't access it from a program launched when I type nautilus, so I am just wondering if I am actually running nautilus or not | 15:57 |
| marvin2 | ubuntu | 15:57 |
| marvin2 | ubuntu 16.04 LTS | 15:58 |
| Azulflame | you've got Nautilus | 15:58 |
| nacc | marvin2: if you run `nautilus`, then you're running nautilus | 15:58 |
| Azulflame | something else you could do would be to open up the file manager, and check your task manager | 15:58 |
| nacc | marvin2: are you sure that's the right path? | 15:59 |
| nacc | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NautilusScriptsHowto | 15:59 |
| marvin2 | so why is my script not displayed in the context menu? I'm suppose to have a Script submenu there, and then my script, I can't see either | 15:59 |
| ttmd | marvin2: is it executable? | 15:59 |
| marvin2 | yes | 15:59 |
| nacc | marvin2: read that wiki page, it has quite a few Notes and details | 15:59 |
| nacc | marvin2: including that you are using the wrong path, afaict | 15:59 |
| marvin2 | I must be reading an old guide then | 16:00 |
| marvin2 | yeah, it works after moving it to ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/ | 16:00 |
| marvin2 | thanks! | 16:00 |
| ttmd | what happened to nemo? i thought ubuntu were migrating to it some time ago | 16:00 |
| nacc | ttmd: that's the cinnamon file manager, iirc | 16:02 |

| johnfg | hi folks | 16:13 |
| johnfg | Just installed 16.10 server in a vm. | 16:14 |
| johnfg | Is there a firewall installed by default with ubuntu server? | 16:14 |
| johnfg | I don't really need one, in this vm, imho. | 16:14 |
| mcphail | !firewall | johnfg | 16:15 |
| ubottu | johnfg: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as gufw and ufw-kde also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 16:15 |
| OerHeks | iptables, without rules. | 16:15 |
| nacc | yeah, iirc, there is a firewall, it's just configured by default on server | 16:16 |
| johnfg | Thanks guys, I'll check those pages out. I'm coming from a mainly debian/centos background, but am liking ubuntu. | 16:16 |
| nacc | just *not* configured, sorry | 16:16 |
| johnfg | Very easily configurable so far, including openldap and kerberos. Very straightforward. | 16:16 |
| === Spontex is now known as Guest62830 | ||
| tomreyn | johnfg: fwiw, most folks prefer long term support (LTS) - 16.10 does not provide this (16.04 LTS does). But maybe you are just testing... | 16:21 |
| === poinku is now known as JusAskin | ||
| boxrick1 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/yakkety/man5/apt.conf.5.html - for the http::proxy specifies that if DIRECT is used it will bypass the global proxy env var, yet this doesn't seem to be working. | 16:38 |

| marvin2 | what is that permission for? | 16:39 |
| noob_ | Why does "ubuntu" appear on my EFI table no matter how many times I delete it | 16:41 |
| zachary | Because you haven't removed it from your UEFI list | 16:41 |
| zachary | What machine to you have? | 16:41 |
| noob_ | My own desktop? | 16:42 |
| zachary | Well, there should be a way in the UEFI settings menu to add/remove, change preference/order of EUFI entries | 16:43 |
| OerHeks | marvin2, Read-and-execute is 5, read and write is 6, Read, Write and Execute have a permission value of 7 | 16:44 |
| zachary | You can try to remove it from there. Else, you can edit the UEFI from the command line in Linux, or in Windows with a nifty app | 16:44 |
| noob_ | via efibootmgr? | 16:44 |
| zachary | yes | 16:45 |
| oholiab | hey, I'm looking for some documentation relating to what does and doesn't change in the security and main repositories for a given release | 16:48 |
| nacc | oholiab: what would you like to know? | 16:48 |
| marvin2 | so what is the meaning of Arhitecture in DEBIAN/control? I am not compiling anything, this is a python plugin. guide I am reading had it set to mipsel, but my target CPU is arm | 16:48 |
| nacc | oholiab: security contains security updates for packages | 16:48 |
| marvin2 | do I just change it to arm (assuming I even need to)? | 16:48 |
| oholiab | nacc: yeap, I suppose I'm more looking for what will change in main for a given release | 16:48 |
| nacc | oholiab: the 'main' repository doesn't change for the release pocket (e.g., xenial). but the xenial-updates pocket does get backported fixes | 16:49 |
| oholiab | so it doesn't change at all? | 16:49 |
| oholiab | I was under the impression from something else I read from the release team's wiki that breaking bugs would be fixed in main | 16:49 |
| nacc | oholiab: for xenial/main, not really, once xenial releases | 16:49 |
| nacc | oholiab: for an existing release? | 16:50 |
| oholiab | yeah | 16:50 |
| nacc | oholiab: not that i know of, but i might be wrong -- those fixes go into updates | 16:50 |
| nacc | oholiab: you can see this in the rmadison output for, say, php7.0. The releaase pocket (xenial) has the original release version when 16.04 came out. x-s and x-u have the updated versions (because for php the update was released via security as well) | 16:51 |
| nacc | marvin2: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html i think there are also packagin specific channels | 16:52 |
| nacc | marvin2: but python plugins should be 'all' if architecture independent | 16:52 |
| oholiab | nacc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories#A_Quick.2C_Tongue-in-cheek_Description_of_the_Ubuntu_Repositories looks like you're probably right about that no-updates-in-main thing | 16:58 |
| nacc | oholiab: ack, that's certainly my understanding (the archive freezes on release essentially) | 16:58 |
| oholiab | nacc: nice, thanks for your help :) | 17:00 |

| Bashing-om | !nomodeset | That1guy | 18:01 |
| ubottu | That1guy: 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 | 18:01 |
| gogeta | qvant wine stem loads but the store is broken the workaround in winehq dont seem to work | 18:01 |
| qvant | gogeta, why don't you use the native steam for gnu/linux? | 18:02 |
| That1guy | It only boots to that black screen for a few seconds. Then starts the installation process | 18:02 |
| adrian_1908 | That1guy: Imo you should try to get 17.04 which comes with a newer kernel, and see if that fixes the issue. It should be released any day now, and you can get the release candidate now, which will update itself into the final release in the days after. | 18:02 |
| That1guy | Doeso that sound right? | 18:02 |

| nacc | Hemant: did you install a different python on your system? | 18:49 |
| nacc | Hemant: does this file exist? /usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu/_sysconfigdata_nd.py | 18:50 |
| Hemant | my default python version is 3. But i need to use python 2.7 to run macs | 18:51 |
| nacc | Hemant: what do you mean 'default python is 3'? | 18:51 |
| nacc | Hemant: `python` should always be python 2 | 18:52 |
| minimec | Hemant: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=python2.7&searchon=names | 18:52 |
| nacc | minimec: and you have python 2.7 anyways | 18:52 |
| k1l | Hemant: ubuntu 16.04 got python3 which is 3 and python which is 2,7 | 18:52 |
| nacc | bah! | 18:52 |

| nacc | Hemant: that's wrong and will break things | 18:53 |
| nacc | Hemant: you should not change what python is referring to | 18:53 |
| Hemant | yes i have python 2.7 too | 18:53 |
| nacc | Hemant: what version of ubuntu? | 18:54 |
| nacc | Hemant: right, but `python` should say python 2.7something and `python3` should say python 3.x.something | 18:54 |
| Hemant | ubuntu 16.04 lts | 18:55 |
| nacc | i suspect you broke your python installation by doing something | 18:55 |
| nacc | yes, there's definitely no python 3.6 in 16.04 | 18:55 |
| Hemant | i needed to install different version of python | 18:55 |
| nacc | Hemant: so did you build from source? | 18:55 |
| k1l | (or use some ppa) | 18:55 |
| nacc | "needed" | 18:55 |
| nacc | so you needed to break your system? | 18:55 |
| Hemant | this is python 3.6 | 18:56 |
| nacc | sorry, that was rude, but it's rather frustating to be so cavalier with system programs | 18:56 |
| nacc | Hemant: python 3.6 does not exist in ubuntu on 16.04 | 18:56 |
| nacc | Hemant: so you did something outside of ubuntu | 18:56 |
| nacc | i don't know what else you have done outside of ubuntu at this point | 18:56 |

| g105b | Hi everyone. I am going to miss unity for the following two reasons: "Local" global menus and their ability to merge with the top system bar, and the Alt button's menu search feature. In Gnome, is there any way of achieving these two goals? | 19:05 |
| osn12 | Hi, i have a question about envrionment variables, if i do rm -rf $blah/$blah2 and these variables are not defined, apparently they are ignored and i screw up myself by doing rm -rf // , how is that possible ? | 19:05 |
| Hemant | http://paste.ubuntu.com/24369230/ | 19:05 |
| nacc | osn12: because your shell is interpreting them | 19:05 |
| nacc | osn12: also never do -f with variables (imo) | 19:06 |
| osn12 | nacc: is there any thing i can read about this, or i can google to learn more. | 19:06 |
| ioria | Hemant, i think you set up a virtual env ? | 19:06 |
| Hemant | this is ubuntu 16.04 lts | 19:06 |
| nacc | osn12: `man bash` ? :) | 19:06 |
| k1l | Hemant: ok, so i guess you installed or linked the python3.6 binaries manually | 19:06 |
| osn12 | nacc: something more specific :) | 19:06 |

| xangua | g105b: s/balance/vala global menu | 19:08 |
| That1guy | No. I ex | 19:08 |
| nacc | osn12: you mgith want to look at set -u | 19:08 |
| nacc | osn12: in `man bash` | 19:08 |
| That1guy | I reinstalled and it's working fine now | 19:09 |
| nacc | osn12: i mean, your question is as basic as "what are shell variables" right now | 19:09 |
| g105b | xangua: Do you know what I mean about "local" global menus? | 19:09 |
| Hemant | i dont remeber what i have done . I tried many things | 19:09 |
| nacc | osn12: they are not 'ignored', an unset variable resolves to '' (empty string) | 19:09 |
| xangua | g105b: KDE has that... Kinda (a button in the window) | 19:09 |
| ioria | Hemant, the location of the binary should give you an idea | 19:09 |
| pavlos | Hemant: no idea why you get python3.6.0 unless you installed it from a tarball on top of 3.5 | 19:10 |
| g105b | This one feature is one of my favourite, but I don't know of any other OS/DE that does it as well as Unity: http://i.imgur.com/qoBxXfh.png | 19:10 |

| marvin2 | is there a GUI scp client that ships with ubuntu? | 19:34 |
| Hemant | i think reinstalling python helped | 19:34 |
| Random832 | marvin2, "ships with" is kind of a fuzzy phrase | 19:34 |
| k1l | marvin2: nautilus can handle sftp connections | 19:35 |
| Random832 | marvin2, try filezilla | 19:35 |
| gotwig | can you pls help me how to direclty connect my ubuntu pc with my ps3 via ethernet without router? | 19:35 |
| marvin2 | k1l sftp and scp are compatible? | 19:36 |
| marvin2 | I am getting "Unhandled error message: Connection failed" | 19:37 |
| k1l | marvin2: the openssh server offers sftp connection, too | 19:37 |
| marvin2 | server runs on a device with limited resources, so I would rather install something on the client side than on the server side | 19:38 |
| nacc | marvin2: um, well, scp is mediated by the ssh server, so is sftp, afaict | 19:39 |
| nacc | marvin2: can you ssh from client to server? | 19:39 |
| marvin2 | I can't connect though. I can connect with scp on the command line | 19:39 |
| marvin2 | yes | 19:39 |
| gotwig | how can I share my internet connection via my notebook with my ps3? | 19:40 |
| pavlos | marvin2: found this, not sure if current ... https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/natty/secpanel/ | 19:40 |
| nacc | marvin2: 'can't connect' with which command? pastebin logs, etc | 19:40 |
| genii | !ics | gotwig | 19:40 |
| ubottu | gotwig: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 19:40 |
| marvin2 | nacc I tried to connect through "Connect to server" option in nautilus, and got "Unhandled error message: Connection failed" | 19:41 |
| nacc | marvin2: ah ok | 19:41 |
| gotwig | genii: that worked and the ps3 can obtain an ip, but the network connection is failing because of DNS issue? | 19:42 |
| ioria | marvin2, sftp://user@server_ip/directory | 19:42 |
| marvin2 | tried this: "sftp://root@vusolo4k/", same error. tried to type ip directly as well, same thing | 19:44 |
| k1l | marvin2: what OS os the server? | 19:44 |
| k1l | *is | 19:45 |
| k1l | marvin2: and is it using another ssh port? | 19:45 |
| marvin2 | it is a satellite receiver running linux | 19:45 |
| k1l | ah ok. so you dont know if the server supports sftp | 19:45 |
| nacc | marvin2: try with `sftp root@vusolo4k` on the commandline -- rather than nautilus | 19:46 |
| marvin2 | "sh: /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server: not found" | 19:46 |
| nacc | marvin2: right no sftp server on the other end then, i think | 19:47 |
| marvin2 | it looks like it | 19:47 |
| nacc | marvin2: on the server install `openssh-sftp-server` | 19:47 |
| marvin2 | failing that, what GUI scp client is usually recommended? | 19:48 |
| nacc | marvin2: i think nautilus can talk sshfs too | 19:48 |
| nacc | since you do have a working ssh configuration | 19:48 |

| pavlos | silicatewielder_: you can use 'nmap' to look for all hosts in your local network (192.168.1.* | 20:10 |
| aotaointbin | can you? i thought nmap was a port scanner, not a host scanner :P | 20:10 |
| genii | gotwig: So then plug them directly into each other, put dnsmasq on the Ubuntu machine, configure it to give the PS3 a number on the same LAN segment the ubuntu box is on, which will be statically assigned. You then don't need any kind of DNS server, just use their respective IPs | 20:10 |

| Eightynine | Thank you. And what about my question about flickering? Seems like it disappeared but I want to be shure. | 20:51 |
| nacc | fancyspacepants: you might want to ask in a more appropriate channel, e.g. ##linux or so | 20:52 |
| nacc | !alis | fancyspacepants: also | 20:52 |
| ubottu | fancyspacepants: also: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" | 20:52 |
| Eightynine | Yes, there is flickering when using browser (I'm using Chromium). | 20:53 |
| * Bl4ckC0r3 I`m back | 20:55 | |
| andai | nacc: no idea, how do i check | 20:58 |
| andai | nacc: my issue is about apt, so that would work on debian too | 20:58 |
| nacc | andai: lsb_release -a | 21:03 |
| nacc | andai: because i don't think vlc depends on fuse | 21:04 |
| andai | nacc: This is embarrassing. Turns out I'm on Debian! | 21:05 |
| nacc | andai: i don't think vlc depends on fuse in debian either | 21:07 |
| andai | nacc: it may have been dpkg complaining about fuse being half-installed from when i was installing xfce | 21:07 |
| nacc | andai: and i've not seen that syntax you pasted above before -- and it's not documented in themanpage either. And it won't let you avoid dependencies afaict. Maybe it would skip recommends, but if it's a dependency, then it won't install the package still | 21:07 |
| nacc | andai: yes, that seems likely | 21:07 |
| andai | nacc: so i'm on expensive mobile internet but i like listening to the radio. What I'm trying to do is setup VLC to stream only the audio of a live music channel i like to save bw/money | 21:09 |
| andai | * a very specific radio :) | 21:09 |
| Guest55363 | I am blind and want to use the Chrome Browser with the Orca Screenreader. | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | hi Guest55363: i do not have any experience with it. maybe someone else here has. but what is you question, if any? | 21:16 |
| Guest55363 | Does Chrome work with the Orca Screenreader? | 21:17 |
| tomreyn | hmm, i would not know. is it difficult to just give it a try? | 21:18 |
| fancyspacepants | I want to run CPU only under Ubuntu, to run bash scripts. Is there an easy way to do this from the existing ubuntu install? | 21:19 |
| tomreyn | fancyspacepants: CPU, as in central processing unit? | 21:19 |
| nacc | fancyspacepants: that doesn't make any sense. you want only your CPU to be running? | 21:19 |
| tomreyn | !info cpu | 21:20 |
| ubottu | cpu (source: cpu): console based LDAP user management tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.3-12 (yakkety), package size 114 kB, installed size 400 kB | 21:20 |
| tomreyn | maybe this, but it still dont make sense to me | 21:20 |
| Guest55363 | I have tried Chrome with the Orca Screenreader and it is difficult to use. | 21:20 |
| k1l | fancyspacepants: you mean CLI only? | 21:21 |
| fancyspacepants | nacc: to reduce power consumption | 21:21 |
| fancyspacepants | k1l: that's right. | 21:21 |
| tomreyn | Guest55363: maybe it works better with a different web browser then? do orca folks suggest which wbe browser to use? | 21:21 |
| === andrea is now known as Guest9926 | ||
| k1l | fancyspacepants: what ubuntu release? | 21:21 |
| fancyspacepants | 16.04 | 21:22 |
| Guest55363 | Firefox is fully accessible with the Orca Screenreader. | 21:23 |
| fancyspacepants | k1l: 16.04 | 21:23 |
| k1l | fancyspacepants: ok, you need to set to boot to the multi-user.target target. that will make you boot into the CLI like its a server install | 21:23 |
| k1l | fancyspacepants: sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target | 21:24 |
| fancyspacepants | ok. How do I return to this ubuntu mode when I'm done using that? | 21:24 |
| k1l | set the default to graphical.target again. so it will boot to the login screen | 21:25 |
| fancyspacepants | thanks :) | 21:26 |
| c0mrade | Hello | 21:29 |
| c0mrade | How to know which ubuntu version I am on. | 21:29 |
| c0mrade | An error occurred in the underlying SSH library that Vagrant uses. | 21:29 |
| c0mrade | The error message is shown below. In many cases, errors from this | 21:29 |
| c0mrade | library are caused by ssh-agent issues. Try disabling your SSH | 21:29 |
| c0mrade | agent or removing some keys and try again. | 21:29 |

| tomreyn | Guest55363: There is ChromeVox for Chromium and Chrome apparently. | 21:30 |
| Bl4ckC0r3 | when will be release ubuntu 17.04? | 21:30 |
| k1l | Bl4ckC0r3: on 13th april. europe afternoon | 21:30 |
| Bl4ckC0r3 | thank you | 21:30 |
| c0mrade | How to know if i386 | AMD64? | 21:30 |

| c0mrade | Which means? | 21:31 |
| k1l | c0mrade: that is 64bit | 21:31 |
| c0mrade | So AMD64 right? | 21:31 |
| tomreyn | x86_64 -> amd64 capable | 21:31 |
| c0mrade | All right. | 21:31 |
| Guest55363 | After the Ubuntu installation alongside Windows 10 I try to start Windows but Ubuntu is booting instead. How can i fix this Problem as a blind User? | 21:33 |
| === anonymous is now known as Guest17299 | ||
| Bashing-om | Guest55363: Win10 is a UEFI install, did you boot the ubuntu installer in UEFI mode also so the boot code is compatible with Windows ? | 21:36 |
| Guest55363 | My Windows 10 is installed in BIOS Legacy Mode. | 21:37 |
| Guest55363 | But my Laptop Firmware has started the Ubuntu Installer in UEFI Mode. | 21:39 |
| earlybird | Upgrading from precise->trusty, apt-get dist-upgrade hangs on the preconfiguration step "keyboard-config,14963 /tmp/keyboard-configuration.config.148341 configure 1.70ubuntu5" indefinitely, with 0% activity in that grep command. Any ideas? | 21:39 |
| k1l | earlybird: ubuntu doesnt do the upgrades with apt | 21:39 |
| Bashing-om | Guest55363: Both installed to the same hard drive ?? . then ya need to re-install one or the other . the 2 boot codes are not compatible . | 21:42 |
| Guest55363 | How can I set the Language on Startup of the Ubuntu Live System as a blind User? | 21:45 |
| === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo | ||
| Bashing-om | Guest55363: I do not know about brail . But the language screen L as soon as the firmware screen clears, depress any key -> language screen . | 21:49 |
| earlybird | k1l: it's not an option as a) we deal with sensitive LXC containers, b) do-release-upgrade is not permitted because it's much more complex, c) it worked before and is possible -> https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/installing-upgrading.html and d) the underlying reason is that on the server in question, /proc/bus/input/devices is empty so the grep command hangs there indefinitely -> the root cause is | 21:53 |
| earlybird | entirely different. THanks though | 21:53 |
| Guest55363 | I have another Problem: I have one USB-Flash Drive that is write-protected. I can't format it under Windows and I haven't set the Write-Protection. Can i format my USB-Drive under Linux? I have also tried that but it don't work. | 21:54 |
| Bashing-om | Guest55363: How handy are you with the terminal ? You can 'dd' the .iso to the USB drive in ubuntu . | 21:56 |
| afl456 | Hey does anyone know what time and timezone they drop 17.04 today? | 21:56 |
| k1l | afl456: afternoon europe time, that is what it was the last times | 21:57 |
| Guest55363 | I have also tried the Terminal and dd but it takes a long Time. | 21:57 |
| afl456 | k1l: Sweet cheers. I wish they would drop at midnight so we all knew exactly when to expect it.. so annoying.. I was hoping to waste most of today futzing about with an upgrade.. | 21:58 |
| Guest55363 | And dd can't format my USB-Drive. | 21:59 |
| YankDownUnder | It will be interesting (as it usually is) to watch the sources get pounded in serving out the "latest and greatest" | 21:59 |
| afl456 | can I force upgrade to 17.04 already despite the release? | 22:00 |
| Bashing-om | Guest55363: ' sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M && sync ' depending on how fast the processor is, but, should not take long . | 22:00 |
| k1l | afl456: yes, use the developer switch | 22:00 |
| afl456 | k1l: true | 22:01 |
| YankDownUnder | afl456: There's always this thing called "wait and be patient" - not that many ever follow that path... :) | 22:01 |
| afl456 | YankDownUnder: Life is short | 22:02 |
| Guest55363 | I haven't tried to write an ISO image to my USB-Drive. But i have to tried to wipe it with Zero and random Data. | 22:02 |
| YankDownUnder | afl456: Yersh...HOWEVER, there is much to be said from observing other people's mistakes/failures/issues and learning the proper steps to resolution - hmm...like spending some time watching all the issues that crop up around the upgrade - and the packages...seeing what exactly breaks so one know exactly what to fix...and to be prepared... | 22:04 |
| afl456 | YankDownUnder: play it safe | 22:05 |
| YankDownUnder | afl456: Like climbing... | 22:06 |
| YankDownUnder | afl456: Besides that - if the machine is a "production" machine - or a machine you're dependent on, why take the risk blindly? Just sayin... | 22:07 |
| superdial360 | hello | 22:10 |
| superdial360 | what is this | 22:10 |

| superdial360 | seems quite interesting though | 22:10 |
| Dan-NS27x | never used irc? | 22:11 |
| k1l | superdial360: this is the irc channel for technical ubuntu support. | 22:11 |
| YankDownUnder | superdial360: "Internet Relay Chat" - a "chat" and conversation system used for 20+ years. | 22:11 |
| superdial360 | nope | 22:11 |
| afl456 | superdial360: that is a keyboard, very handy | 22:11 |

| === shakes808_ is now known as shakes808 | ||
| nacc | andai: yes | 22:23 |
| andai | neat! | 22:23 |
| Dan-NS27x | andai, could try #xubuntu also | 22:23 |
| andai | so when i do sudo apt-get install.. it tells me it's locked... but nothing is running (just booted up) | 22:23 |
| andai | so i thought let's try the software center | 22:23 |
| andai | and then it tells me i need to register with ubuntu one to install a package? seriously? | 22:23 |
| nacc | andai: use gnome software not ubuntu software center | 22:24 |
| nacc | andai: and it only requires registration for paid for apps, iirc | 22:24 |
| andai | trying to get vlc | 22:24 |
| kostkon | andai, sudo dpkg -i package.deb but you should copy the file to your home folder first | 22:24 |
| nacc | andai: are you sure you're not accidentally installing hte snap? | 22:25 |
| nacc | andai: in any case, see if something is running in the background | 22:25 |
| andai | nacc: i thought that's what the kids are calling .debs these days | 22:25 |
| andai | what is a snap | 22:25 |
| xangua | andai: showing the actual terminal output may be helpful | 22:25 |
| nacc | andai: just because you're not running something actively doesn't mean a background process isn't updating the archives etc | 22:25 |
| nacc | andai: another packaging format | 22:26 |
| AngryNork | need to install a .deb file on ubuntu server, usb flash drive that it's on is mounted | 22:26 |

| nacc | andai: right | 22:29 |
| andai | ahh.. at last! I have confirmed my hypothesis | 22:30 |
| Dan-NS27x | is there a reason 16.04 doesn't use wlan0 in network device names? | 22:30 |
| andai | VLC latest (2.2.4 "weatherwax") can play YouTube streams on macOS and Ubuntu.. but not Debian | 22:30 |
| andai | I was wondering whether to switch from Debian to Ubuntu. The answer is "yes" | 22:30 |
| nacc | Dan-NS27x: it uses a name based upon predictable interface naming in systemd | 22:31 |
| nacc | Dan-NS27x: you can disable it with net.ifnames=0 passed to your kernel at boot time, iirc | 22:31 |
| Dan-NS27x | ok. wondered why my wlan0 is now called wlxp878f6fbe33 | 22:32 |
| Dan-NS27x | I'd have to look into that net.ifnames thing | 22:32 |
| Dan-NS27x | did a fresh install of 16.04 server but setting up networks to connect at boot up. | 22:32 |

| kunwon1 | trackpoint is the red pointing device in the middle of the keyboard | 23:02 |
| Nobabs27 | what kunwon1 said | 23:03 |
| afox | yeah the 'eraser head' | 23:03 |
| Nobabs27 | except my issue happens when I press the "click" buttons, not the red dot itself | 23:03 |
| kunwon1 | it's pressure sensitive, and high friction. you put your finger on it and push right, pointer moves to the right | 23:03 |
| Nobabs27 | and they have the extra buttons for using that instead of the pad | 23:04 |
| Nobabs27 | literally I can just spam Middle Button+Space+c a few times in the terminal and get the weird blank screen | 23:05 |

| azizLIGHT | 14.04 | 23:09 |

| Nobabs27 | @Ben64 | 23:20 |
| Ben64 | smashing keys and buttons randomly | 23:20 |
| Nobabs27 | im doing that because im not sure what triggers it, but it will happen when I dont want it to | 23:21 |
| Nobabs27 | and im pretty sure random screen blanking should not be happening | 23:21 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Nobabs27, facerolling a keyboard can do random stuff like that | 23:21 |
| Nobabs27 | the screen turning blank? | 23:21 |
| Nobabs27 | and then the computer going off? | 23:21 |
| azizLIGHT | i gotta see the video now | 23:22 |

| azizLIGHT | practicing ur dj scratches | 23:23 |
| Nobabs27 | trying to demonstrate the issue xD | 23:23 |
| Nobabs27 | at the end it literally goes blank | 23:23 |
| Nobabs27 | and its happened before, without the button mashing | 23:23 |
| Ben64 | sounds like a hardware issue | 23:24 |
| Nobabs27 | to clarify: my issue is not the terminal getting spammed, it's the screen going blank | 23:24 |
| === mhrc is now known as ztkz | ||

| afox | so compact. | 23:28 |
| Nobabs27 | ok so, any suggestion of where to go for support on this? | 23:28 |
| afox | this isn't much help, but it looks like your keyboard is glitching out on you. like maybe throwing a ctrl in there or something while you're typing. | 23:34 |
| afox | definitely looks like a hardware issue | 23:34 |
| Nobabs27 | hmm | 23:35 |
| afox | does your screen go blank while you're not pressing any keys? or only while you're pressing a key / using the trackpad? | 23:36 |
| Nobabs27 | only when keys get pressed inside the terminal | 23:37 |
| Nobabs27 | also shorter version of the video (less button mashing): https://youtu.be/eLkREuQdIkg | 23:37 |

| raleigh | like with readline, but that works in other windows not just a terminal | 23:42 |
| evilytwisted | Hi, hopefully someone can help me? im using linxlite, BEFORE you go we dont support that distro.. its a derivative of debian.. a derivative of ubunto... i use synaptic, i use sudo apt-get and all of that | 23:43 |
| evilytwisted | all im asking is could someone helpme /show me how to get my computer to reconize my android device | 23:43 |
| evilytwisted | i have mtpfs installed and mtp-tools | 23:43 |
| evilytwisted | i would be bugging linuxlite, except they dont have an irc support channel anymore | 23:43 |
| mcphail | evilytwisted: you know you're in the wrong place. Sorry, but we can't know what your distro of choice has altered | 23:45 |
| skinux | Anyone know of a secure and free software that would allow me to access a designated part of my computer hard drive from my phone? | 23:45 |
| evilytwisted | its still the same distro. :/ | 23:45 |
| mcphail | evilytwisted: no, it isn't. Please stick to the /topic in this channel | 23:45 |
| skinux | I'm thinking of something that would be installed on my machine and provide secure access to my phone when connected to the same LAN | 23:46 |
| mcphail | skinux: I was playing with kdeconnect earlier, but the default version wasn't useful. I think you need a PPA for it to work properly. It seems to offer what you need | 23:47 |
| nacc | evilytwisted: it's *not* the same distro. derivatives (as opposed to flavors) can change anything | 23:47 |
| evilytwisted | i figured debian of all people as they are the closest to "pure" would have such attitude.. | 23:47 |
| evilytwisted | but ubuntu? | 23:47 |
| evilytwisted | ill show my self out | 23:47 |
| odine | I was wondering if anyone could point me to a guide to allow me to VNC into a ubuntu desktop unity server from my home rez in my home monitors full capapable rez of 1920x1080.. i know it can be done just donno how :( | 23:49 |
| Nobabs27 | @odine I would recommend x2go | 23:51 |
| YankDownUnder | odine: Biggest secret: Having a "non standard" port opened on your router at home - and making sure that that port is forwarded to your "desktop"...the rest should be easy as. | 23:51 |
| odine | does x2go function with unity desktop? | 23:52 |
| afox | Nobabs27: definitely think its your keyboard. i'd install a keylogger and see what happens right before it goes black | 23:52 |
| afox | like log everything. then when it dies, stop pressing keys, power down, then check the log when it boots back up | 23:53 |
| Nobabs27 | @afox hm, the peeps at ##ibmthinkpad think it's a software issue | 23:53 |
| afox | hopefully it is. but if a keylogger shows up something that you didn't press... well its probably not | 23:54 |
| afox | its a good way to rule it out | 23:54 |
| jrowe_away | hooray, death to unity! | 23:54 |
| Nobabs27 | ok, can you recommend a keylogger? | 23:54 |
| afox | unfortunately i can't. i've never used on in linux | 23:54 |
| jrowe_away | also, condolences to any whose employment was affected | 23:55 |
| jrowe_away | if youre capturing for debug, google is your friend - http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/129159/record-every-keystroke-and-store-in-a-file comes up really quick | 23:56 |
| Nobabs27 | ik, I was just wondering if he had one in mind | 23:57 |
