I would like that program to handle Alt+F4 seqeuence, not windows manager [00:22] Hmm... [00:22] i look in my hdd and i can still see my linux partition (its fde) [00:22] marvin2: Probably not possible [00:26] what signal does Alt+F4 send to the program? [00:45] unity 8 is looking great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQhWCcWJKw [00:46] Hi, can anyone direct me to the resources I need to utilize AlienFX on Ubuntu 16.10 if possible? I have tried to install pyalienfx with no avail. The only other thing I have tried since libusb is already installed was installing Java. [00:48] Google searches have lead to repeat things that do not work and broken links. [01:10] It would appear that 17.04 tacks --cvs-exclude to any rsync command and I can't figure out how to disable it. Please help. [01:10] I've tried --no-C and that doesn't work [01:17] is installing ubuntu on a macbook air a wise thing to do [01:18] as soon as rebooted for ubuntu 16.04->16.10 upgrade, an odd mouse-click/tapping noise started at the login screen. i immediately updated repos and began the 17.04 upgrade but the sound persists pseudo-randomly (sometimes in rapid succession). it is emitted both through internal sound or through hdmi if I set it as primary output. muting the sound stops it but not a viable solution in the long term. [01:18] anyone know how to resolve this issue? [01:24] sinthetek, what now === eforbes1 is now known as eforbes [01:30] is installing ubuntu on a macbook a wise ieda [01:30] i would try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa-source / or / dpkg-reconfigure linux-sound-base [01:31] hi [01:31] or see the troubleshooting guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure [01:31] sinthetek ^^ [01:35] In Ubuntu 17.04 why is --cvs-exclude on by default for rsync and how is this change reverted? [01:36] should I get 17.07 [01:36] or 16.04.2 === doublevision_ is now known as doublevision [01:44] MacBook_Air, 16.04.2 its a lorn term release [01:44] lorn term support release [01:45] I have a nic with a 10.1.1.1 address and 192.168.1.3 address/ why would there be no route to the host 192.168.1.1 ? [01:54] Hi all, logging onto my ubuntu server running 17.04; i'm getting a message "Ubuntu 12.04 LTS end-of-life is April 25, 2017 -- Upgrade your Precise systems!" is this just a generic message? [01:55] no. [01:55] or, hrm [01:55] related to installated but unsupported packages? [01:57] Smedles, you are the 2nd one today, it is a cruft from a previous install, i suppose you started with 12.04 and upgraded continuesly, see the MOTD [01:57] Oerheks: yeah it's an old install that has been updated many times [01:57] :-) [01:57] oh, that's why I hadn't heard of it, I reinstalled at LTS [01:57] see /etc/motd [01:57] * or that folder. [01:58] When are we discontinuing 12.04 non-enterprise support? I understand Canonical is extending support for paid customers [01:58] dax, i was baffled too, but the previous asker found out himself [01:58] Is it 25/4? [01:58] there is no /etc/motd fiel or folder, but I'll find it :) [01:58] Menzador, yes [01:58] k [02:00] oh, and it's update-motd, which I never keep installed [02:00] righto, note to self, Ubuntu does enough weird motd stuff that i should keep away from questions about it :) [02:01] Smedles: /etc/motd is a text file you can build yourself - motd = MessageOfTheDay [02:03] dax, is it in /etc/update-motd.d/ ?? [02:03] Oerheks: am sitting here poking at it. It's added by /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news [02:03] which is pulling it from https://motd.ubuntu.com/ [02:04] ty [02:04] which as far as I can tell should be popping that text up on everyone's system (well, everyone who has update-motd and that script enabled) [02:05] Now to find a way if this happens only from 12.04 + upgrade path, or that it also happens with 14.04 [02:07] /etc/motd will be displayed at login, if you are logging in with a shell i.e. ssh, not with the opening of a terminal session. [02:07] w9qbj: yep. update-motd, the thing Oerheks and I are talking about, is a script that adds stuff to that file [02:09] dax: I'm using 16.04 on both the 'big iron' and my RPi, neither have update-motd it's someting a user(root?) builds. [02:09] well, if nothing else, it prompted me to look at the output of 'ubuntu-support-status --show-unsupported' and remove some olf cruft === rob is now known as Guest98194 === rxc is now known as Guest42836 [02:36] The CIA has determined that freenode's two new servers, donated by the United Klans of America to replace old hardware, are loaded with rootkits designed to allow Klan officials to k-line Jews. Donald Trump has ordered this information destroyed, and freenode staff have been eliminated and replaced with agents [02:37] One agent has defected to the side of the people, and leaked this information on slashdot and reddit [02:37] However, dax is the most dangerous of the feds' agents [02:37] can confirm, am very dangerous [02:37] He is going to blow up all the internet routers to destroy this information [02:38] the only solution is for Black Lives Matter to have a huge riot outside AT&T headquarters and block the freeway so he cannot get to the core routers [02:39] telnet, hmmmm? [02:39] while i'm not adverse to annoying at&t, could you do it in a way less inconvenient to us? [02:39] So please join us on Easter Sunday at AT&T headquarters, and do not forget your molotov cocktails and weed [02:39] RacismAlert, thats hardly topical here [02:39] Thank you and have a nice day [02:39] toodles [02:40] How can I disable a default rsync option? --no- doesn't work in this case. Ubuntu 17.04 adds -C to everything, even if no other arguments are provided. For example rsync test@192.168.1.1:/home/test/testfile /home/test2/testfile is sent to the server as rsync --server --sender -e.LsfxC . /home/test/testfile with the -C option enabled [02:40] that sounds like you've either got an alias or an env var in the way [02:42] baratheon: Me? Where would I check? I see nothing relating to rsync in my .bashrc [02:42] alias | grep rsync [02:42] env | grep -i rsync [02:42] baratheon: alias | grep rsync No output [02:43] baratheon: same for env | grep -i rsync. [02:45] maybe adding --include=.* then? [02:46] the only config files are for rsyncd [02:46] baratheon: I've tested on a pc, server, and laptop each running a fresh install of 17.04 all with the same results. [02:47] baratheon: It seemed that way the more I checked into them. [02:53] does linux respect the readonly attribute on ntfs drives? is there any way to make it? [03:01] Hello ubuntu [03:13] oh boy... [03:21] with a sudo netstat -plnt that reads 0.0.0.0:someport means its listening to every type of request right? if it does then id also be curious on why you also get :::someport too? [03:26] What method would you recommend to install & run Xubuntu (64bit) on a 64gb USB3.0 flash drive? [03:26] monad, What OS are you making the USB on [03:26] Sorry, misread that [03:26] Xubuntu [03:27] Using Xubuntu Live USB to create a Live USB, preferably. [03:28] Except my current Live USB of Xubuntu doesn't seem to have "Startup Disc Creator" installed? [03:28] (I'm downloading latest stable, now...) [03:28] SynfulAck: listening on every available nic, not type of request [03:32] monad, I see two ways of doing that, one way of a persistence partition and the other just installing to the drive and putting grub on it [03:33] Hmm... Don't I want a persistent partition? Pendrive Linux uses an .iso stored on the disk & grub, correct? [03:34] I'm here asking, because I'm a bit confused. [03:34] I mean, I'm using one now... But I made it using Windows, I have never done it from Linux. [03:35] Actually, wait, the second option sound better. [03:35] Are you just trying to make a bootable USB or one that can be used as a full persistent OS [03:35] Can I do that with NTFS so the same partition is still visible under arbitrary Windows PCs? [03:35] Dunno [03:35] Full persistent OS. [03:36] I use it frequently, booting from USB to Xubuntu, rather than using Windows. [03:36] You can make an 8GB OS persistent partition and share the rest of the space on a third partition [03:36] But, Windows my decide to screw up the USB [03:37] Hm, I believe I have done that once before, on a more Debian -based distro. What tool would you use to do that, from within Xubuntu? [03:37] hello guys [03:37] anybody here [03:38] ? [03:38] monad, you can just DD the ISO to the USB then shrink the partition, then make a persistent one and NTFS one if you so choose [03:38] https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/intel-joule [03:38] xzcat /media/ubuntu//tuchuck*.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=32M status=progress; sync [03:38] i am getting bash: /usr/bin/xzcat: Input/output error [03:38] Hey everyone! What's a good resource for issues with a game running through Wine? Getting a runtime error for a missing file, but unsure where to begin. Thanks! [03:39] can anyone help me to fix it? [03:40] also /dev/mmcblk0 does not exit, only /dev/mmcblk1 exit [03:41] I will have to look up some documentation. I haven't used DD much, nor recently. [03:41] thanks [03:41] oh, nvm =| [03:41] dd if=/ISO of=/dev/sdX# [03:41] ?! [03:42] monad, That will write the ISO to the USB [03:42] Or just use the utility gnome-disks [03:42] if= of= ? I do need to read the docs again. Clearly been too long if the basic flags look foreign to me. [03:43] Can't find any install utility on the current system... [03:44] can anyone help me? :( [03:45] monad, install gnome-disks [03:45] thx! [03:49] help... somebody, anybody :( [03:51] nyceane: I am free - maybe I can assist ? What is the issue ? ( I just joined ) [03:52] nyceane: What device is this? [03:52] joule [03:52] https://developer.ubuntu.com/core/get-started/intel-joule [03:52] i am following instructions until step 7 [03:52] "xzcat /media/ubuntu//tuchuck*.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=32M status=progress; sync" [03:53] but i am getting error bash: /usr/bin/xzcat :Input/output error bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Input/output error bash: /bin/sync: Input/outpuet error [03:55] nyceane: Like you pointed out earlier, the problem is that your /dev/mmblk0 doesn't exist === kubuntu is now known as Guest90937 [03:57] nyceane: I'm not sure if the problem is that the device should exist or the if the instructions are wrong and you should be using mmcblk1. Don't try to write to mmcblk1 unless you know what device it is [03:57] i switched to mmblk1 [03:58] quidnunc, i switched to mmblk1, which exist, but i m getting the same error [03:59] nyceane: It's a bad idea to over-write data on arbitrary devices you don't u [03:59] quidnunc, what should I do? :( [04:00] nyceane: You have a pretty unique problem, you'll probably need to get info from stackexchange or similar [04:02] ok, gona install windows 10 iot i guess [04:02] nyceane: Do you have the latest bios installed? [04:02] this is straight out of the guide and yet it doesn't work =( [04:02] quidnunc, yes [04:02] quidnunc, i just installed it [04:04] nyceane: I know, I don't know anything about that architecture [04:04] nyceane: Intel community forums are another place you can ask your question [04:06] nyceane: According to this thread https://communities.intel.com/thread/110251 [04:06] the instructions at the top of the page you were reading are obsolete (?) [04:06] nyceane: Did you try the instruction at the bottom ("Alternative install"?) [04:08] nyceane: Ah, never mind, it's referencing a different thread [04:11] nyceane: Anyway, I would try asking your question on the Intel community forums for the Joule, they should have the answers [04:19] hey guys === ubuntu is now known as Guest81736 [04:20] 6 [04:20] are yall fake [04:21] yes [04:21] are yall robots [04:21] all of us [04:21] yess [04:21] dim on TV [04:21] im [04:21] like the names [04:22] hi [04:22] html fakers [04:22] yall are fake [04:23] ubuntu after dark [04:29] Hi guys, I keep getting cant read symbol table, cant read outside of hd1 [04:29] then a kernel panic [04:30] Been trying for a couple of days to fix this now and I think i´ve followed just about every guide out ther [04:30] Attempt to read or write outside of disk hd1 is the exact error followed by a you need to load the kernel first [04:31] TheHackOps: "cant read outside of hd1" , Have you looked at the numbers ' sudo fdisk -lu ' .

[04:33] let me try [04:37] what am i looking for Bashing-om [04:41] TheHackOps: continuity of the numbers, in particular the 1sr number at the end of the 1sr line XXXX sectors allows for the last number in the last line under sectors heading .

When I try to change wallpaper, the pictures folder is empty [05:48] Seems like other people have had this problem, is there a solution? === eforbes1 is now known as eforbes [06:27] Hi guys. What about you think about btrfs for / or /home? [06:30] !btrfs | tehmal [06:30] tehmal: Btrfs is a filesystem available for Ubuntu. It is not recommended by default, and should not be used for important data. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/btrfs [06:30] !xfs [06:30] xfs is a high-performance journaling filesystem originally developped by Silicon Graphics for their IRIX OS. It is now fully supported by Linux so you can install Ubuntu on it if you wish. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFS [06:31] tehmal: i use it on / and for lxc containers. [06:31] hmm i have btrfs for / :> works perfecly, im only ask :> [06:31] I used to *thrive* on ReiserFS...until, well...things went kinda "south"...was great...IN it's day... [06:32] its sense XFS for /home? [06:32] or better stay on ext4 [06:33] I resisted ext4 - until I encountered some issues on a server and had to recover data...THEN ext4 became my "hero"...and default... [06:35] tehmal: as long as you have working backups, test whatever filesystem you want. ext4 is good in case you need to recover something, though. [06:36] YankDownUnder: we told you several times to use #ubuntu-discuss for personal experiences [06:38] lotuspsychje: Have I somehow in the course of the past 20 years caused an issue with you? In more than 10 years of using this channel, I've not really been accosted as much as the past four days... [06:39] YankDownUnder: i hope you udnerstand if 1800 users will share their experiences here, it will be a big mess [06:41] Hey, guys! I'm trying to fix a runtime error for a game I'm running through wine and need "ovsbooleancontrols.ocx". Anyone know where I can get it? === bildramer1 is now known as bildramer [06:41] lotuspsychje: I *do* understand. And I have SEEN chaos. Many times. I'd not infiltrate situations to cause more, nor wish to. I spent years "op'ing"...I enjoy my retirement with a smile, my friend. [06:42] !wine | ACCBiggz [06:42] ACCBiggz: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu [06:44] ACCBiggz: You could always get the .OCX from an existing Windows installation - if you've got one...

[06:44] ACCBiggz: http://www.fixoserror.com/fix-ovsbooleancontrols-ocx-missing-not-registered-error-step-by-step.html [06:45] Guys, what u think about Unity → Gnome conversion by Canonical ? Im tried GNome 3, but is useless for me and panels are too big... =C [06:46] !flavors | tehmal [06:46] tehmal: Recognized Ubuntu flavors build on Ubuntu and provide a different user experience out of the box. They are supported both in #ubuntu and in their flavor channel. The current list is: !Edubuntu, !Ubuntu-GNOME, !Kubuntu, Ubuntu !Kylin, !Lubuntu, !Mythbuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Xubuntu, and Ubuntu !MATE [06:47] tehmal: If there are conflicts in the GTK3 libraries, some stuff will seem "oversized" or "large" - and fonts will be screwed as well... [06:47] does anybody know of a screen capture program that can take a scapshot of a whole webpage? [06:48] alt + printscreen [06:48] freddyp: that would just crop out a portion [06:48] i want the whole template [06:48] do it a bunch, then stitch together [06:49] no it snaps the window you are focussed on [06:49] are you certain [06:50] my bad only the visible part of the webpage [06:50] sucks [06:50] all the resources online are out dated [06:51] rodrigot23: make a movie out of it with kazam? [06:51] rodrigot23: slowly scroll your webpage down, as you record it? [06:51] rodrigot23: Are you merely after the page(s) to create a template? [06:52] no its not pages its just one template i finished [06:52] print it to pdf [06:54] good idea freddyP === andre_ is now known as Guest4606 [06:54] rodrigot23: apt search httrack ==> it's an app that will d/l the entire site for you.

[07:15] kerash: no, you'd connect to chat.freenode.net instead [07:17] dax: ok, I'll give that a try, thanks [07:18] kerash: although it looks like that's what you're currently doing, directly or otherwise... [07:18] irc.ubuntu.com is just a pointer to chat.freenode.net, if that's the confusion here [07:20] dax: the confusion for me has two parts. Firstly the fact that webchat.freenode.net - I guess - may send output to my weechat in HTML - second is that it seems the connect to the #letsencrypt channel uses SSL [07:20] * dax tilts head [07:20] kerash: channels can't use ssl... [07:21] kerash: have you tried just doing /join #letsencrypt === eforbes1 is now known as eforbes [07:21] Ben64: they can be set to require it. nobody sane does that though [07:21] (i.e., if you don't have umode +Z it won't let you join) [07:21] +cnt [07:21] indeed. [07:22] dax: yes I [07:23] dax: tried /join #letsencryt it seems to generate some meta message, but doesn't seem to show a real channel [07:24] I don't see any reason why it would stop you from joining. Try again and let me know the "meta message" if it still doesn't work.

[07:48] jdk = what programmers use, jre = what users need to run programs [07:48] openjdk is an open source java implementation, oracle has/had a closed-source one but I think it's getting phased out [07:49] openjdk & oracle share 95% of the code, but they will always have a cosed one [07:50] isn't java opensource anyway? [07:50] Or what's the deal here? [07:50] Hey all, first timer. Having a problem a problem installing mysql-server on a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04 - says package is broken.

Doing "fix broken packages" in synaptics dowsn't work [07:50] luxgeek: pastebin the error [07:51] ikonia, here you go: https://pastebin.com/XjgL8heA [07:51] c0mrade: openjdk is. oracle's crap is not [07:52] luxgeek: could you pastebin the full command with full output please [07:52] that would be more helpful, [07:52] luxgeek: probably not what you want to hear, but I have had the same problem with mysql-server or (mariadb-server) twice in the last year, in both cases I re-installed ubuntu [07:53] ikonia, Um...was doing it from the synaptics package manager gui so not sure how to get the "full command" [07:53] ahh [07:53] ikonia, lol [07:53] luxgeek: ok - so lets do this from the command line to get better debug, would that be ok ? [07:54] ikonia, WAIT! Try this: https://pastebin.com/0j70LiXZ I had forgotten that I DID try it from a cli :P [07:55] ikonia, not my first time around the block...just first time using ubuntu specifically. I have usually used mint but thought I'd give it a try :) [07:56] luxgeek: you have installed mariadb ? [07:56] ikonia, No, is it required? It seemed that trying to install mysql-server it automatically removed the mariadb stuff [07:57] ikonia, iirc [07:57] it looks like you installed maria db and still have it installed === eforbes1 is now known as eforbes [07:57] Aborting downgrade from (at least) 10.0 to 5.7. [07:57] ikonia, Ah, wierd but I CAN fix that I think. [07:59] ikonia, So, you think it will install prop if I can get the mariadb stuff out? [07:59] luxgeek: do you remember installing maria or another mysql version ? [07:59] luxgeek: it shouldn't be too hard to clean up, just need to understand what you did to get the best way to clean it [08:00] ikonia, Yeah (egg on face) it was a slip of the mouse I didn't catch fast enough :P === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:00] luxgeek: it's not a problem, no need for egg [08:00] Hi, since yesterday I have this problem when I execute a simple python script using opencv: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24392423/ [08:00] luxgeek: so how I suggest you do this is do an apt-get update to get your metadata up to date [08:00] luxgeek: remove the mariadb packages (including client) [08:01] luxgeek: remove the mysql cached packages from the failed install [08:01] luxgeek: then try to install again [08:01] I intsalled opencv-3.0.2 with modules opencv_contrib-3.2.0 [08:02] could a staff member look at the user c0mrade please he's using his account/cloak to evade a ban, maybe just give him a nudge and advice he to leave the channel and talk to operators when they are active if he wants the ban removed [08:04] ikonia, Ok, tried again after cleaning up: https://pastebin.com/NpXpWugf <-- the still sad results :/ [08:04] ikonia, back in a min [08:04] please help: i messed something with files (manually compiled and installed gpg-error, i thought it was missing), and now i have this message: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24392428/ [08:04] apt install --reinstall libgpg-error0 didn't help :( [08:05] luxgeek: Aborting downgrade from (at least) 10.0 to 5.7. [08:05] luxgeek: you've not removed the maria/other mysql stuff [08:06] rud0lf: try this ==> https://askubuntu.com/questions/624486/libgpg-error-so-0-no-version-information-available [08:06] thank you [08:06] ikonia, I, again, used the gui to do the removal and cli to install...ok, I'll have to mess with it again tomorrow (after 3am here ) Thanks. [08:07] luxgeek: come back when you want to work it through and we can work it through [08:07] ikonia, wasn't sure where that was coming from [08:07] (or someone else in the channel will) [08:07] worked like a charm.. i've had extra library in /usr/lib [08:07] ikonia, Thanks much :) [08:07] rud0lf: ;) [08:15] I tried intalling (MATE) 17.04 last night, alongside W10 UEFI after disabling secure boot. Install seemed to go fine and GRUB seemed to install without errors but I didn't get a GRUB menu after rebooting. It just booted straight into W10. Known bug? [08:15] danboid: also mention that you saw apt/dpkg errors and memory issues :) [08:16] Not entirely true - there as a vague error right at the end of install about "Some packages needing to be reinstalled" but it ddn't say which [08:17] and as alkisg says, I also say lots of ubiquity warnings/messages relating to memory. Balancing RAM or something? [08:17] The laptop has 4GB RAM and a 1TB HD [08:17] Space/ RAM should not be an issue [08:17] using raspberry pi to chat, this is awesome [08:18] if only the on screen k3yboard had swipe gestures [08:18] Has anyoe tried installing 17.04 onto a XFS partition alongsie W10? [08:19] which is what I did [08:19] I disabled secure boot first, btw [08:23] Ohhh! I wonder if Windows fast startup is hiding the GRUB menu fromm us? [08:24] why would it [08:24] Is that possible? [08:24] if it's booting windows it's already gone past grub [08:24] Yeah, just clutching at straws there [08:24] danboid: how many disks are in your system [08:24] 1 [08:24] 1 1TB HD [08:25] where did you install grub, [08:25] ubiquity doesnt give you an option so sda [08:25] it does [08:25] and it seems more likley from what you are saying you installed it to a partition or it didn't install at all rather than sda [08:25] No it doesn't. I chose "Install alongside Windows bootloader" which is te nearest it gets to asking [08:26] danboid: it does ask you, it depends on the menu choices you go though [08:26] depends if its use EUFI or bios boot [08:27] thats a good point too, [08:27] I chose custom partitionig but never saw a GRUB install option [08:27] but even with bios [08:27] UEFI [08:27] w/ secure boot tirmed off [08:28] i'm new to EUFI aswel but in the bios/uefi i added grub next to the windwos bootloader off the EUFI partition, so my boot menu is the bios menu (that then loads grub or windows) [08:29] I didn't check the BIOS after install but having to boot via the BIOS sounds messy. I'd prefer GRUB [08:29]
