| Delvien | warren_: Lemme know how that turns out, that wouldnt be something id touch with a 10 foot pole :P | 00:04 |
|---|---|---|
| warren_ | Delvien, thanks been a pain, the adapter has a usb 2.0 slot built in. that pops right up, but the gpu seems to hate me lol | 00:06 |
| Delvien | warren_: I did it in windows, and even that was a huge pain in the ass | 00:06 |
| Delvien | warren_: of course.. mine was expresscard, not mpcie | 00:06 |
| warren_ | Delvien, I didn't have an expresscard slot or I would've tryed that instead. I think that I may need to mod my bios to turn off the internal graphics and switch to the external | 00:09 |
| Delvien | warren_: make sure the gfx card isnt blacklisted. also is it showing up in lspci -nn ? | 00:09 |
| warren_ | Delvien, not showing up in lspci, not sure how the blacklisted works | 00:11 |
| apostolos | Delvien, what are you trying to do? Install an external gpu to the mpcie slot of a laptop using an adaptor? | 00:13 |
| Delvien | apostolos: im not trying to do it :P | 00:13 |
| warren_ | I am | 00:14 |
| apostolos | oh ok :P | 00:14 |
| apostolos | cool | 00:14 |
| Delvien | warren_: why are you even trying to do this? | 00:14 |
| warren_ | apostolos, it'd be cooler if I could find it :) | 00:14 |
| apostolos | I was about to try it a few years ago but thought it wouldn't be very practical so abandoned the idea | 00:14 |
| Delvien | apostolos: its not, because mpcie means you have to attach it to the boards slot, which makes it about as immovable as a desktop | 00:15 |
| Delvien | apostolos: and at that point, just build a desktop | 00:15 |
| apostolos | Delvien, yeah exactly | 00:15 |
| warren_ | Delvien, mining, had a desktop lined up fell through | 00:15 |
| Delvien | warren_: shiiiiiiieeeeee just find one on craigslist. | 00:16 |
| Delvien | warren_: or if u have a mom and pop compu store in your area, | 00:16 |
| apostolos | warren_, as Delvien has already mentioned many laptop manufacturers blacklist everything except for a few mpcie wifi adapters | 00:16 |
| apostolos | so you might have to find a modded bios as well | 00:16 |
| Delvien | which will be a PITA | 00:16 |
| warren_ | Delvien, it's crazy how much people want for junk desktops around here | 00:17 |

| warren_ | Delvien, people asking $400+ for used I3's with 8 gb ram lol | 00:18 |
| apostolos | also you should probably attach psu as well, I don't think the mpcie bus can provide so high current | 00:19 |
| selsperr | what does this mean? runescape-launcher : Depends: libglew1.10 (>= 1.10.0-3) but it is not installable | 00:19 |

| warren_ | apostolos, it's on it's own psu | 00:19 |
| apostolos | great then it should be fine ;) | 00:20 |
| === tripleb is now known as tripelb | ||
| Delvien | warren_: is the i3 a skylake/kabylake? | 00:21 |
| apostolos | selsperr, what version are you running? | 00:21 |
| apostolos | I mean release | 00:22 |
| selsperr | 16.04 | 00:22 |
| warren_ | Delvien, I don't know, either way more then what I was looking to spend atm. I think if I end up with a desktop I'd rather do a custom build. Though there is a guy selling servers converted to desktops in the area I've been thinking about hitting him up when I get some extra cash | 00:22 |
| apostolos | have you tried sudo apt-get install libglew1.10 ? | 00:23 |

| warren_ | Delvien, there are actually some decent deals, but about an hour from where I live. I might have to just give in and make the trip | 00:29 |
| johnfg | I didn't set up root with its own password. What to do? | 00:29 |
| Delvien | warren_: do iiiiiiiit | 00:29 |
| ChaiTRex | johnfg: Can you log in as another user and use `sudo`? | 00:30 |
| selsperr | ChaiTRex: what should i put in termainl? sudo dpkg -i didn't work | 00:30 |
| johnfg | unfortunately not. No other users yet, brand new installation. | 00:31 |
| johnfg | Unless is mysql admin available as a login account? | 00:31 |
| johnfg | Nope, mysql didn't work. | 00:32 |
| selsperr | sorry ChaiTRex I dont understand what to do with that link | 00:36 |
| johnfg | I did use rescue mode, and did a Dropt to root shell prompt, but it's not fully functional. I.e., it won't allow vipw, or even for root itself, passwd. | 00:36 |

| ChaiTRex | selsperr: You can then use `sudo apt install Downloads/libglew1.10_1.10.0-3_amd64.deb` | 00:41 |
| pd1 | selsperr, or dpkg -i libglew1.10_1.10.0-3_amd64.deb | 00:42 |
| johnfg | Any ideas on adding a user or adding a password when in the root shell prompt in rescue mode? | 00:42 |
| ChaiTRex | pd1: apt install handles missing dependencies. dpkg -i expects you to then use `apt install -f` to fix any. | 00:42 |

| tubal | Hello. Show of hands -- who has difficulty with the Gnome (or GTK+) toggle switch? E.g.: https://esite.ch/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/EWn5B.png Is that on or off? I have to puzzle it out every time. | 00:45 |
| ChaiTRex | selsperr: You're welcome. | 00:45 |
| nacc | tubal: uh, it says "ON"? | 00:45 |
| nacc | tubal: and iirc, it's only lit when on | 00:45 |
| ChaiTRex | tubal: Same as nacc. | 00:46 |
| Bashing-om | ChaiTRex: selsperr No can do : as the package manager insist " Depends: libglew1.10 (>= 1.10.0-3) " . | 00:46 |
| tubal | nacc: Okay, I'll buy that. However, when I look at it, it makes me think than "ON" is the choice I can toggle *to*. | 00:46 |
| nacc | tubal: in the US, at least, look at light switches, they display the current state | 00:47 |
| nacc | i'm fairly sure that's the model used | 00:47 |
| tubal | nacc: Really. Not here. | 00:47 |
| tubal | If that's why, I'd argue that it's a poor model. | 00:48 |
| johnfg | I fixed it, and here's how, if anyone else makes this mistake. | 00:48 |
| nacc | tubal: i've seen the same in other countries, admittedly | 00:49 |
| nacc | tubal: so you'd prefer it was lit and said off? | 00:49 |
| nacc | that would be even worse | 00:49 |
| tubal | Not prefer, really. Some other arrangement. | 00:50 |
| nacc | tubal: someting to bring up with upstream gnome, presumably, not ubuntu :) | 00:50 |
| ChaiTRex | nacc: I could see having a light separate from the switch that was on and was labelled on. | 00:50 |
| nacc | ChaiTRex: yeah, i guess that's true, not part of the slider/switch | 00:50 |
| nacc | or display both labels above the slider | 00:50 |
| tubal | nacc: Oh, it's not as serious as all that. Or if it is, I expect they have plenty of reports on it already. :) | 00:51 |
| tubal | ChaiTRex, Something like that, yeah. | 00:51 |
| johnfg | At the grub menu, choose Advance Options, then rescue mode. | 00:52 |
| tubal | btw, if anyone has installed diodon and wondered why it doesn't work, there lies the answer. | 00:52 |
| johnfg | Choose drop into a root shell. | 00:52 |
| johnfg | Then do mount -o rw,remount /, and you'll be able to run vipw in my case, and the changes will be written out. | 00:53 |

| ubottu | grv11: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

| FreddyP | what kind of issue do you have ? | 06:40 |
| dharma | my wifi adapter(inbuilt) is damaged | 06:44 |
| dharma | so i had an usb adapter | 06:44 |
| dharma | but both drivers are crossing | 06:44 |
| dharma | they are not conncecting to router | 06:44 |
| FreddyP | do you have ifconfig installed | 06:45 |
| FreddyP | if you do you can bring down the offending network interface | 06:45 |
| hitman1 | FreddyP: Here is op of ifconfig from dharma - https://paste.pound-python.org/show/GZaez0SKe0bMy28M0jEo/ | 06:46 |
| FreddyP | so therefore you can ifdown wlp7s0 | 06:48 |
| FreddyP | assuiming wlp7s0 is the broken interface | 06:48 |
| hitman1 | FreddyP: how you know that wlp7s0 is the broken one ? | 06:49 |
| FreddyP | i dont it was just an example to show the syntax | 06:50 |

| vincenzoml | Hi there; since when I upgraded to ubuntu 17.04 from 16.10 on a mac mid-2010, I can no longer create a wifi hotspot (which worked like a charm previously). Here is the pastebin for syslog, can someone help? https://paste.ubuntu.com/24425539/ | 08:28 |

| * PCatinean huggles | 09:04 | |
| vincenzoml | PCatinean: :) | 09:04 |
| PCatinean | vincenzoml, sorry no experience there. The only thing that comes close was my wifi card being very unstable with the update to 16.04. This turned out to be a problem because of the battery saver mode it had on by default | 09:05 |
| jink | vincenzoml: I wouldn't do that in the same directory if it's the same extension. Just to be sure. ^__^ | 09:05 |
| PCatinean | that and some shady drivers caused inconsistencies | 09:05 |
| vincenzoml | jink: some things must be learned from experience :) | 09:05 |
| PCatinean | jink, what do you mean? :)) | 09:05 |
| geirha | jotauver: Ah, so only considering parts of the lines, then I'd go with awk. the md5sums are at the start of each line? | 09:06 |
| vincenzoml | that if "newfilename.tmpl" exists, it gets overwritten with no undo | 09:06 |
| vincenzoml | and that if you run the command again, I think it could double the contents of the file | 09:06 |
| jink | vincenzoml: That, or let's append the file to itself, depending on when or if newfilename.tmpl is resolved by *.tmpl. | 09:07 |
| hateball | If you want to append, you use >> when redirecting | 09:07 |
| vincenzoml | jink: but neither happens on 17.04 at least! cat complains that the input file coincides with the output file and does not proceed | 09:07 |

| Lukker | can anyone help me with that? I am ubuntu server 16.10 | 09:23 |
| ducasse | Lukker: if you answer the question, maybe i can. | 09:24 |
| Lukker | i have a school task where it requires that i install the apache2 from source code | 09:26 |
| Lukker | #ducasse | 09:26 |
| Lukker | #ducasse : i did downloaded the apr and apr-util and pcre files extract them and all seemed to work fine ,until now | 09:29 |
| blackflow | Lukker: you could install apache2 from deb-src, it should pull in all the buildtime dependencies, which is what you need. There may be additional deps if the versions from deb-src and what you're installing are different. | 09:29 |
| Lukker | i can not do that #blackflow. I know that that it would be much easier but i need to do it the hard way because of a school task | 09:30 |
| blackflow | then why are you asking here for help? :) | 09:31 |
| blackflow | I think there's #apache here on Freenode where you can ask about apache specific problems. | 09:31 |
| Lukker | well , i am almost done with the installation. I was looking for a tip regarding the pcre file | 09:32 |
| blackflow | Lukker: and btw # is a channel prefix on irc, not username | 09:32 |

| PCatinean | jink, and what if it is in the same directory, you pipe and grep or? | 09:34 |
| ducasse | PCatinean: he meant he wouldn't put the output file in the same dir if it had the same extension: 'cat *.tmpl > /tmp/newfile.tmpl' | 09:37 |
| jink | PCatinean: Don't do it in the same directory, or specify all input files. | 09:37 |
| PCatinean | ducasse, yes but what if I need to? | 09:37 |
| PCatinean | maybe exclude the final one from the *.tmpl selection | 09:38 |
| jink | "need" is a strong word. You can do it elsewhere and then move the result. | 09:38 |
| jink | And keep in mind that with "cat *.tmpl" you can't specify the order. | 09:38 |
| ducasse | PCatinean: does it need to have the same extension? | 09:39 |
| Lukker | thank you bazhang | 09:39 |
| Lukker | #apache channel is not available | 09:39 |
| ducasse | Lukker: it's called #httpd iirc | 09:39 |

| headref | hi | 09:50 |
| headref | how do I change my default editor , and also view which is my default text editor currently? | 09:50 |
| ducasse | headref: for gui or cli? | 09:52 |
| headref | cli | 09:52 |
| headref | vim | 09:53 |
| ducasse | set the EDITOR env variable | 09:53 |
| bossie | Anybody know how to use neard NCI over uart? | 09:53 |
| headref | ducasse: but how do I view echo $EDITOR is null ? | 09:54 |
| headref | and where to set I forgot it | 09:54 |
| headref | ok sudoers I think, but where | 09:55 |
| ducasse | headref: it's unset by default. put 'export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim' in .bashrc | 09:55 |
| headref | ok | 09:55 |
| headref | ducasse: but how do i view what's my current editor | 09:55 |
| headref | why does echo $EDITOR return null ? | 09:55 |
| headref | as it's vim set in the file of sudoers | 09:56 |
| ducasse | headref: i just told you, it's unset by default. what you set in sudoers is probably only what is used by visudo. | 09:56 |
| headref | Defaults env_reset,editor=/usr/bin/vim:/usr/bin/vi | 09:57 |
| headref | ducasse: ahh | 09:57 |
| ducasse | headref: ok, so it exports that in sudo sessions. it does not affect normal sessions, though. | 09:58 |
| headref | but shall i write editor in capital letters or small letters, as important inbuilt variables, can make a difference | 09:58 |
| headref | ok caps | 09:58 |
| headref | shall I put a semicolon, as /usr/bin/vim:/usr/bin/vi in the export editor varialble | 09:59 |
| headref | but it has become a single sstring ducasse | 10:00 |
| ducasse | that's not a semicolon, but write it like i wrote it | 10:00 |
| headref | along with semicolon included | 10:00 |
| headref | ok | 10:01 |
| headref | so that's a colon : , and semicolon is ; | 10:01 |
| headref | But what how do i change my other default applications too, the same way in ~/.bashrc ? | 10:02 |
| ducasse | headref: what other applications? | 10:02 |
| headref | like GUI applications | 10:02 |
| ducasse | headref: that's done by your desktop environment, normally. | 10:03 |

| [vbm] | hi there, after the news ubuntu will drop unity for gnome next year I decided to give it a go now and installed ubuntu-gnome-desktop. I quite like it but for some reason, when I log into gnome, pulseaudio deamon fails to load. If I log into unity, i have no problems. If I log into unity, log off and then into gnome, neither. But If i log into gnome straight after turning my computer on or rebooting, I get no sound. Does anybody have an idea | 10:32 |
| [vbm] | of what could be the problem / point me in the right direction? I have a fair bit of googling without any luck and, needless to say, my skills are quite modest | 10:32 |
| ducasse | rizonz: remove either 'auto eth0' or 'allow-hotplug eth0', and uncomment 'auto eth1' | 10:34 |
| rizonz | ducasse: can do, but why ? | 10:34 |
| lotuspsychje | !sound | [vbm] | 10:34 |
| ubottu | [vbm]: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

| lotuspsychje | [vbm]: dmesg logs show anything usefull on audio? | 10:34 |
| ducasse | rizonz: because what you have now is incorrect? | 10:35 |
| K_K_N | lotuspsychje, can I paste the results somewhere so you can interpret for me? | 10:35 |
| EriC^^ | ++ | 10:36 |
| rizonz | ducasse: heh seems so but why is it incorrect ? | 10:36 |

| lotuspsychje | K_K_N: seems alot of usb errors, did you try some other ports? | 10:44 |
| K_K_N | ducasse, not sure what you mean I donwloaded from ubuntu site and installed and just did the updates when ever it prompted me to do so? | 10:44 |
| ducasse | K_K_N: i sent to the wrong nick, sorry | 10:45 |
| [vbm] | ducasse: I downloaded the kernel from ubuntu's mainline, the current default isn't great with baytrail | 10:45 |
| ducasse | [vbm]: be aware that the mainline kernels are meant for testing only, and totally unsupported | 10:46 |
| K_K_N | lotuspsychje, I only have 3 and tried all of them I can do it again with the comman you gave me and paste again but will have to disconnect cause my USB modem is plugged into one of them | 10:46 |

| morsnowski | hi | 11:05 |
| cperrin88 | Hey, I keep pulling my hair over a samba issue. I use Samba for shares. That works, but I need to create a folder that is not viewable by everyone. Whenever I disallow Everyone from viewing a folder even the owner get's access denied. | 11:12 |
| cperrin88 | I can block specific users just fine. | 11:12 |
| cperrin88 | Has anyone got a clue? | 11:12 |
| MustaKrakish | cperrin88, force use = <user> | 11:19 |
| MustaKrakish | *user | 11:19 |
| cperrin88 | MustaKrakish: And then? I don't want to the whole share to be accessed by only one user. I just want users to be able to protect their own folders. | 11:20 |
| MustaKrakish | cperrin88, where are the directories? are they ~ folders? | 11:20 |
| K_K_N | lotuspsychje, any ideas? | 11:22 |
| K_K_N | or maybe somebody else? | 11:22 |
| cperrin88 | They are just normal forlders on the share and I want to use the windows permission system to work as expected. I can deny acces to the folder for specific users, but as soon as I set the "Everyone" group to denied, no one can access the folder, even though the users I gave access to specifically. | 11:23 |
| === yourname1 is now known as vaultin | ||
| MustaKrakish | cperrin88, that's working as expected then, if you deny everyone, then no one will have access | 11:24 |
| MustaKrakish | if you want to differentiate by read/write then maybe use ACLs | 11:24 |
| jldawson | Not imagined spectacular | 11:24 |
| cperrin88 | I use ACLs | 11:24 |
| MustaKrakish | if users belong to groups, set access on a group level | 11:25 |
| jldawson | How many people are learning ubuntu? | 11:26 |
| K_K_N | lotuspsychje, ok what I will do is go use an internet cafe for now, you can pm me if I need to maybe just buy a new printer cause its a new USB cable cause originally we thought it was the cable or if you think its my laptop then I guess a either one will need to be replace but if its a setting of some sort then you can pm me the solution | 11:27 |

| === Spontex is now known as Guest72916 | ||
| necrophcodr_ | ikonia, sabayon. I'm using Xubuntu 16.04 and want to be able to dual boot. | 11:38 |
| Guest99028 | is here anyone who has iodine experience and could help me out a little bit? | 11:38 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: so this isn't an ubuntu problem then | 11:39 |
| necrophcodr_ | Ubuntu and Xubuntu are my workstation distributions. I use those primarily. But for testing, I want to be able to dual boot. | 11:39 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: this isn't an ubuntu problem | 11:39 |
| necrophcodr_ | Yes it is, because Ubuntu is supposed to detect it. | 11:39 |
| necrophcodr_ | Should I ask in some grub or os-prober channel then? | 11:39 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: you need to look at how btrfs works and sharing pools | 11:39 |
| necrophcodr_ | Ubuntu isn't installed with Btrfs. | 11:40 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: no, but the OS you think it should detect is | 11:40 |
| mcphail | necrophcodr_: I may be misremembering, but I think you have to have btrfs-tools installed | 11:40 |
| necrophcodr_ | ikonia, i already have btrfs-tools installed on both systems, but is it not possible for os-prober to detect something like this? | 11:40 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: update-grub will write to the mbr of a disk - it's nothing to do with other os's | 11:41 |
| necrophcodr_ | update-grub will execute `grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` | 11:41 |
| necrophcodr_ | I don't think it installs grub at all. | 11:41 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: os prober needs to be able to see the file systems of the other devices or a boot map | 11:41 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: it doesn't install grub at all, no | 11:42 |
| ikonia | that was bad wording on my part | 11:42 |
| necrophcodr_ | how do i get os-prober to see other filesystems? it's the same disk | 11:42 |
| necrophcodr_ | different partition | 11:42 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: can your ubuntu box see the btrfs pool | 11:42 |
| necrophcodr_ | yes, and it wants to mount it using my filemanager. the other partition shows on my desktop. | 11:42 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: so if you manually call os-prober, what does it see | 11:43 |
| necrophcodr_ | there's no output at all | 11:43 |
| necrophcodr_ | `sudo os-prober` yields no output | 11:43 |
| FreddyP | after many hours and days to stop Ubuntu's stupid dns stub server and give control back to the network manager. I gave up none of the hacks worked apart from dirty hack to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf. It makes Ubuntu stupid on networks that have their own DNS server and want it to have FQDN | 11:43 |
| FreddyP | i gave up and went back to Debian which does it properly | 11:43 |
| ikonia | FreddyP: it means you don't know how to use it properly | 11:44 |
| FreddyP | ikonia: tell me now then | 11:44 |
| FreddyP | In Debian I just enter my own dns settings and confgire a search domain bang it worked right away | 11:45 |
| ikonia | FreddyP: I have no idea of the state of your system, or the detail of what you're trying to archieve other than a few high level comments | 11:45 |
| ikonia | FreddyP: you're not using debian, so what does that matter | 11:45 |
| FreddyP | i am now | 11:45 |
| hanshenrik | i think i found a bug, `libuser` is not a dependency of `system-config-samba` , but if you try to start `system-config-samba` without libuser installed, it will just crash with the message SystemError: could not open configuration file `/etc/libuser.conf': No such file or directory | 11:45 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: I solved my ubuntu DNS issues by forcing the config of /etc/systemd/resolved.conf | 11:45 |
| FreddyP | yes that was the drity hack | 11:46 |
| ikonia | necrophcodr_: so thats what you need to investiage first | 11:46 |
| hanshenrik | so, when you `apt install system-config-samba` , apt should install libuser, too | 11:46 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: as of 16.10 my usual custom setups with local DNS and a list of domains for "search" stopped working via NetworkManager setup for connection, had to force it via that config | 11:46 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: and with 17.04, systemd-resolved is the only resolver (16.10 has it in combo with dnsmasq if I'm not mistaken) | 11:47 |
| ioria | hanshenrik, i think they are 2 pkgs: libuser1 and python-libuser | 11:47 |
| FreddyP | blackflow: yes i figured that out but did not want the headache | 11:47 |
| FreddyP | so I got Debian 9 and all is well | 11:48 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: well, powerusing Ubuntu comes with a does of headache :) | 11:48 |
| blackflow | yeah I switched my desktop over do Stretch too when nvidia borkage on 16.10 became too much to bear. | 11:48 |
| FreddyP | Ubuntu should have any easy option to reliquish control from dnsmasq and give it back to the network manager | 11:49 |
| necrophcodr_ | ikonia, that's what i've been looking into. i couldn't solve it myself, so here i am. | 11:49 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: I though NM was always using dnsmasq? Does NM have resolving capabilties? | 11:49 |
| ioria | hanshenrik, system-config-samba depends on python-libuser and this one depends on libuser1 | 11:50 |
| hanshenrik | ioria, oh kk | 11:50 |
| FreddyP | blackflow: NM does not , It should be simple enter you companies DNS server, but it should resovle FQDN on the netowrk but no it does not | 11:51 |
| alensap | thks | 11:52 |
| blackflow | FreddyP: ah from what I see it has dnsmasq built in, at least on Stretch | 11:57 |

| bonsaitree | scottjl, Nope, it turns out that as soon as i connect to a wireless network with the second (USB Tenda) wireless interface, the built in Intel 6200-N activates automatically. I've tried with 1) ifconfig wlan0 down and 2) ip link set wlan0 down. | 12:50 |
| bonsaitree | And i don't want them both active in the same time. | 12:51 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: ifconfig -a should list each interface with it's name. you need to turn the intel one off and the other one on. they shouldn't be linked, unless network manager is doing it. | 12:52 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: if you're using network manager, don't try the command line, if you're using the command line, don't use network manager, they will clash with each other | 12:52 |

| dudeji | Hi it may be very stupid question but can i create zfs paritition on a working disk , i mean , i already have data in ntfs mode and i want to create a folder and use that folder as zfs ? | 13:21 |
| scottjl | you can't create a folder and use that as zfs, but you can make a disk partition and use that if you just want to dabble with zfs. i wouldn't use it for anything serious | 13:22 |
| PipeItToDevNull | dudeji, You can touch a file, fllocate it to the size you wan, run makfs on it then mount it as a file system | 13:22 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Wow, I cannot type. | 13:22 |
| L00P3X | dudeji, you could may format as it an usb drive | 13:22 |
| scottjl | you don't mkfs zfs file systems. | 13:22 |
| PipeItToDevNull | Then ignore me | 13:23 |
| SchrodingersScat | dudeji: I think you basically were asking about this: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gazcr/index.html | 13:23 |

| scottjl | that second link is VERY useful | 13:24 |
| SchrodingersScat | the point is that yes you can use files as devices, but it's not recommended | 13:24 |
| scottjl | i use zfs on a 16.04 server with 35tb of data. | 13:24 |
| dudeji | i was looking for like : i already have data in my partition which is ntfs , can i somehow safely use ntfs partition and create zfs on a folder and allocate some size and use that. | 13:24 |
| scottjl | some year i'll change it over to btrfs | 13:24 |
| scottjl | dudeji, why would you want to? | 13:25 |
| scottjl | zfs is a file system, it isn't a.. folder | 13:25 |
| dudeji | i was just not willing to create on more disk paritition | 13:25 |
| scottjl | but what's your intention? | 13:25 |
| SchrodingersScat | dudeji: it would use files not folders, and the answer is yes, but not recommended because then you have to rely on ntfs, which is a :( fs | 13:25 |
| scottjl | dudeji: what is it you're trying to accomplish? | 13:27 |
| dudeji | i have install DalmatinerDB and it requires zfs only | 13:28 |
| scottjl | ahh | 13:28 |
| scottjl | yeah. you really need to set up a disk partition with zfs | 13:29 |
| scottjl | if you're just testing, you could use a usb drive if you can't use any sort of internal drive. performance would be poor. | 13:29 |

| transhuman | I am in the middle of an upgrade from one version to second to latest the second was slow but succeeded | 13:48 |
| logikos | obviously I am missing something ... where do i start please? | 13:48 |
| scottjl | blackflow: i've been debating converting over to btrfs. :-/ | 13:48 |
| transhuman | third seems to be doing the same thing lotuspsychje | 13:48 |
| lotuspsychje | transhuman: wich version to wich? | 13:49 |
| blackflow | logikos: sshfs is in universe, do you have the repo enabled? | 13:49 |
| transhuman | 15.04 to 16.04 to 17.04 I think | 13:49 |
| logikos | blackflow: yes, i beleive so | 13:49 |
| scottjl | PipeItToDevNull: luks != zfs | 13:50 |
| blackflow | scottjl: don't. I ran it for a year along ZFS (on a different server) for testing. It's awful. Bugs aside, the design decisions are too bad. | 13:50 |
| PipeItToDevNull | scottjl, A file system is a file system, it sees and uses the file all the same | 13:50 |
| scottjl | blackflow: thanks. that's good to know. yeah the fact it's still beta (imho) has kept me from making any sort of move. | 13:50 |
| scottjl | PipeItToDevNull: zfs isn't a "file system" | 13:50 |
| blackflow | scottjl: see also https://wiki.debian.org/Btrfs#WARNINGS | 13:50 |
| scottjl | not at all in the traditional sense | 13:50 |
| blackflow | scottjl: I'd say it recently reverted to alpha what with the raid breakage | 13:51 |
| scottjl | yeah like i said, the more i read about issues, the more scared i got and i just stopped reading. i'll look again in a year, or two, or three. lol | 13:52 |
| blackflow | scottjl: pretty much the bugs are such that it's "stable" only as a simple fs with no aditional features. basically ext4 CoW | 13:52 |
| blackflow | scottjl: and recently I've read on reddit some horror stories about it completely breaking after power failure and hard reset | 13:52 |
| blackflow | so... no thanks, for me :) | 13:52 |
| logikos | odd, I had universe but not main enabled ... i assumed (obviously foolish of me) that main would have been enabled by default lol | 13:52 |
| scottjl | well i don't use many of the features. i use it for media storage and a floating pool vs. fixed partition sizes (this is basically a plex server) | 13:52 |
| logikos | things are working better now | 13:52 |
| scottjl | (though i'm using now on a production foreman/katello/puppet master at work for katello storage) | 13:53 |
| blackflow | scottjl: single drives or some kind of raid? | 13:53 |
| scottjl | at home? 7 drives in a single pool | 13:53 |
| LukePatterson | How can i locate webcamera-kernel-module on Linux? | 13:54 |
| scottjl | 1 hot spare | 13:54 |
| blackflow | scottjl: but what raid level? | 13:54 |
| scottjl | z+1 | 13:54 |
| blackflow | scottjl: ah you're talking about ZFS, I thought that was btrfs | 13:54 |
| scottjl | again. it's media (tv, movies, music). i'm not hugely concerned about taking a hit. | 13:54 |
| transhuman | lotuspsychje, getting this error like a 100,000 times source ID 2300 was not found when attempting to remove it | 13:55 |
| scottjl | yeah. i'm running ZFS. i was considering converting it over to btrfs, but the more i read about issues the more scared off i got. | 13:55 |
| scottjl | oops | 13:55 |
| imbezol | after upgrading my system from 16.04 to 16.10 my networking stopped working. i see my eth0 was renamed to enp38s0. i've done some reading and understand why and i'm fine with that. however, i can't get it to come online. if i try setting it up in interfaces it says that interface doesn't exist | 13:55 |
| blackflow | scottjl: yeah, a native in-kernel thing would be nicer. I'll check it out too in a few years :) | 13:56 |
| scottjl | imbezol: ifconfig -a | 13:56 |
| imbezol | scottjl: in ifconfig -a it does show it, and i can use it if i manually dhclient it | 13:56 |
| scottjl | imbezol: pastebin your interfaces file? | 13:56 |
| scottjl | and your ifconfig while you're at it | 13:56 |
| imbezol | hmm.. tricky without networking | 13:57 |
| imbezol | oh, i'll bring it up manually | 13:57 |
| scottjl | hmm | 13:57 |
| blackflow | enp38? wow, lots of bus there | 13:58 |
| imbezol | scottjl: interestingly, i can work with the interface using ifconfig, but ifdown and ifup return "Unknown interface enp38s0" | 13:59 |
| imbezol | it's like the scripts don't allow that naming scheme | 13:59 |
| dudeji | zfs is used by DalmatinerDB and yes i am using ubuntu. | 14:00 |
| blackflow | imbezol: make sure you're allowing predictable naming completely. see this, section "I don't like it", and apply in reverse: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ | 14:00 |
| elichai2 | hi, I want to move from Unity to KDE plasma, should I make a fresh install of Kubuntu or it doesn't matter? | 14:00 |
| blackflow | imbezol: reverse = opposite to advices given in those steps, so make sure there's no /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link for example | 14:00 |
| === e01 is now known as Guest4016 | ||
| scottjl | elichai2: if you're not short on disk space, just install plasma-desktop | 14:01 |
| imbezol | blackflow: checked and there's no such file | 14:01 |
| elichai2 | scottjl: i'm not(at least not by 1-2GB), but i'm worried about performance, I have my system for ~3 years and I think I got lot's of unused packages, does it affect performance? | 14:02 |
| scottjl | dudeji: you could set up a file, mount it via loopback, and set that up as a zfs device, but it would be horrible performance. | 14:02 |
| scottjl | elichai2: unused packages really don't affect performance if you're not using them. it's just some program sitting unused on your disk, taking up space, but that's it usually | 14:03 |
| L00P3X | i'm sorry.. but where to find the upper application bar where to find "file, view, tool, command, help" over lxde desktop? | 14:03 |
| scottjl | elichai2: like that vitamixer you bought 10 years ago sitting in a closet unused. | 14:03 |
| elichai2 | that's if i'm sure that I got no process running there that's deprecated | 14:04 |
| scottjl | well you can always do a top/htop and see what's taking up cpu and prune what you don't like | 14:04 |
| scottjl | but if you really want to clean house, yeah, back up anything important, reinstall, restore. | 14:04 |
| imbezol | /etc/systemd/system/networking.service does "ifquery --read-environment --list --exclude=lo" as part of it's ExecStartPre, which returns "Unknown interface enp38s0" | 14:04 |
| imbezol | this makes me wonder if ubuntu can actually use the interfaces with this naming scheme | 14:05 |
| elichai2 | https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/mbjamqkb/ | 14:05 |
| imbezol | as in, i'm not sure how the networking service could ever succeed in starting | 14:05 |
| ducasse | L00P3X: lxde doesn't have a global menu or whatever it's called, the menu is in the application window | 14:06 |
| scottjl | elichai2: i really couldn't be a good judge of what does and doesn't belong on your system from one little snip. i dont know your server at all | 14:07 |
| bencc | what the 2 means in 2755 directory mod? is it safe for a font folder? | 14:07 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: FWIW, my 17.04 desktop doesn't return anything when I run that command | 14:08 |
| imbezol | tgm4883: are you using the enp naming scheme? | 14:08 |
| L00P3X | ducasse, somehow is missing in my case.. if i right click or click hexchat icon i can't come over file | 14:08 |
| elichai2 | scottjl: hmm ok, and it's a desktop. but thanks. I'm just trying to think if installing fresh really worth all the trouble of backup&restore and re-configuring everything | 14:08 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: enp3s0 | 14:08 |
| elichai2 | and i'm already forgot half of my configurations lol | 14:08 |
| imbezol | tgm4883: and when you run ifdown or ifup does it give an error? | 14:09 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: also, I don't have that file you're talking about. And looking at it, I don't think you should either | 14:09 |
| ducasse | L00P3X: open the hexchat window, you will see the menu | 14:09 |
| imbezol | tgm4883: really... interesting... so what starts your networking? | 14:09 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: well, IIRC systemd startup scripts aren't in that folder unless you added it as an override | 14:10 |
| L00P3X | ducasse, i am on hexchat.. there is no menù.. nowhere | 14:10 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: I do get an unknown interface error | 14:10 |
| ducasse | L00P3X: then i have no clue, sorry. | 14:10 |
| scottjl | elichai2: well it gives you a chance to clean out the crud. ;-) | 14:11 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: the default startup scripts for systemd are in /lib/systemd/system/ | 14:11 |
| geri | hi, how can i merge 2 csv files? | 14:12 |
| tgm4883 | imbezol: everything in "/etc/systemd/system/" is an override file https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemdForUpstartUsers | 14:12 |
| geri | i tried: awk 'BEGIN { OFS = FS = "," } { n = $NF; sub(/,[^,]*$/,""); sum[$0] += n} END { for (i in sum) print i,sum[i] }' frequency_map*.csv > combined.csv | 14:13 |
| geri | but it doesnt sum col 4 | 14:13 |
| L00P3X | ducasse, you know how to refresh the lxde? or how to default or something? | 14:13 |
| ducasse | L00P3X: you can try #lubuntu | 14:14 |
| ikonia | refresh lxde ? | 14:14 |
| L00P3X | ducasse, maybe.. thank you | 14:14 |
| L00P3X | ikonia, the menu bar is missing on my lxde.. over hexchat thers no way to file --> view list | 14:15 |
| ikonia | L00P3X: just reboot your box | 14:15 |
| L00P3X | ikonia, or everyting else.. the bar is missing | 14:15 |
| L00P3X | ikonia, how to :\ | 14:16 |
| ikonia | L00P3X: sudo reboot | 14:16 |
| imbezol | tgm4883: so the file /etc/systemd/system/network-online.target.wants/networking.service is actually a symlink into /lib/systemd/system/ | 14:16 |
| imbezol | and it contains the ifquery part in that file | 14:16 |
| L00P3X | ikoia, you say?... i will give it a try | 14:17 |
| vmx32 | biirrl | 14:17 |
| bencc | why /usr/share/fonts has mod 0755 while /usr/local/share/fonts/ has mod 2755? | 14:18 |
| scottjl | bencc: so files created in /u/l/s/fonts have gid staff ? | 14:19 |
| bencc | scottjl: what does it means? why do I need gid staff? is it less secure to put fonts there? | 14:20 |
| ducasse | bencc: see the chmod man page | 14:21 |
| imbezol | tgm4883: so after adding an entry to interfaces for enp38s0 i was able to start the service | 14:21 |
| bencc | ducasse: I did. still don't understand the difference and security implications if any of having 2755 mod on a font dir | 14:21 |
| scottjl | bencc: no it's not less secure. i guess so anyone else in group staff can copy/modify/remove files in that directory | 14:21 |
| bencc | scottjl:thanks | 14:22 |
| scottjl | because perms on /usr/local are less "strict" than /usr | 14:22 |
| scottjl | so i guess their thought is to let someone who has "staff" access but not "root" access the ability to modify fonts in that directory | 14:22 |
| scottjl | only root could modify /usr/share/fonts | 14:22 |
| scottjl | you could chmod 0755 /usr/local/share/fonts; chown root. /usr/local/share/fonts if you wanted and it should work fine i suppose. | 14:24 |

| mdevi | Hey guys, was legacy (BIOS) install dropped from UB17.04 Desktop? | 14:29 |
| bonsaitree | How do i completely wipe a kernel image from the system? Or how do i tell the system explicitly which kernel image to use? Am i allowed to remove a kernel image if i am currently using it (although it may cause the system to crash), with root access? | 14:29 |
| bonsaitree | To which system it will "migrate" in a scenario where i am allowed to wipe it if i am using it, after the crash? | 14:29 |
| bonsaitree | To which kernel image* | 14:30 |
| scottjl | removing a currently running kernel is baaaaaad. | 14:30 |
| mdevi | UB17.04 server seems to have a vmlinuz / initrd, Desktop only has vmlinux.efi, I need to legacy PXE boot UB17.04 desktop | 14:30 |
| Murii | do you guys use Skype? Is it safe? I mean does it spy ? | 14:30 |
| selckin | define spy | 14:30 |
| ikonia | mdevi: it depends what hardware you install on what you get | 14:30 |
| Murii | selckin, get data from your pc | 14:31 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: grub controls what kernel you boot into. you should see a selection screen for a few seconds on startup | 14:31 |
| blackflow | Murii: probably :) | 14:31 |
| mdevi | ikonia: the ubuntu_desktop-17.04-amd64 image doesnt seem to have a legacy BIOS vmlinuz/initrd to PXE boot | 14:31 |
| scottjl | you can remove a non-running kernel | 14:31 |
| ikonia | Murii: skype is a closed source product, no-one in ubuntu will have any more insight you | 14:31 |
| ikonia | mdevi: ahh to pxe boot it | 14:31 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, I know, but how do i tell the system which will be the initial kernel image that should be used on startup? | 14:31 |
| blackflow | bonsaitree: GRUB_DEFAULT index in /etc/default/grub iirc | 14:32 |
| mdevi | I can't find anything about it being dropped, and it's there in the ubuntu_server 17.04 image (already tested / working on my PXE server) So I'm wondering if it was dropped... | 14:32 |
| ikonia | mdevi: use the server one (I've not done research into the pxe options for 17.04) | 14:32 |
| mdevi | sure thing I'll give it a go :) | 14:32 |
| ikonia | mdevi: it's only for a "pre boot" until you install it, so it shouldn't matter | 14:33 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: i wouldn't advise changing kernels unless you know what/why you're doing it. | 14:33 |
| blackflow | bonsaitree: seconded, what scottjl said | 14:34 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, I simply want to use the stable kernel version, because i switched to 4.8 yesterday when we were trying to fix the wifi | 14:34 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: ah. | 14:35 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, What? :D | 14:35 |
| scottjl | when you boot, do you see the grub load screen? | 14:35 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Yes | 14:35 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: some times it helps to understand what you're trying to accomplish in order to give you the best answer. | 14:35 |
| skinux | Is there a GUI app that will tell me how much RAM applications are using? | 14:35 |
| scottjl | so boot, go back down to whatever your previous kernel was, the just uninstall the 4.8 one | 14:35 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, With synaptic? | 14:36 |
| blackflow | skinux: "System Monitor", installed by default on GNOME and Unity systems, should help | 14:36 |
| scottjl | if that's how you installed 4.8, sure | 14:36 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Nope, it was via terminal | 14:36 |
| smokey-screen | Hello all - Can I ask your opinion of Ubuntus FDE compared to a windows alternative such as Veracrypt FDE - Is it as secure given the correct key length? | 14:36 |
| skinux | Thnks | 14:37 |
| scottjl | ok. so whatever command you used on the command line. use purge instead of install | 14:37 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, But i don't know the "terminal way" of uninstalling a kernel | 14:37 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Okay, thanks | 14:37 |
| scottjl | i'm guessing you did apt-get install kernel-4.8.whatever right? | 14:37 |
| scottjl | swap out install for purge | 14:37 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Can't remember, i will see in the log | 14:37 |
| scottjl | yeah check your history | 14:37 |
| scottjl | history | grep -i kernel | 14:38 |
| blackflow | smokey-screen: I have no idea how strong Veracrypt is, but LUKS ("the" linux disk encryption system) is with default settings. | 14:38 |
| imbezol | seems roxterm is no longer in 17.10. what's a good replacement terminal? | 14:38 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Was thinking about irc logs, but that will be faster for sure, did not know that, thanks :) | 14:38 |
| scottjl | np | 14:38 |
| eva | hi | 14:38 |
| smokey-screen | blackflow: With a key of 40 Char + would LUKS be adequate to secure sensitive client and corporate information? | 14:39 |
| madebyme | my Ubuntu don't have gui like gnome what can i do | 14:40 |
| blackflow | smokey-screen: I'd say yes, we use it like that. aes-xts (default) is pretty secure with such long passphrases | 14:40 |
| blackflow | smokey-screen: just remember that WrenchSecurity(tm) renders it all weak :) | 14:41 |
| blackflow | smokey-screen: https://xkcd.com/538/ if you didn't get the ref :) | 14:41 |
| madebyme | plz help me dude | 14:42 |
| smokey-screen | blackflow: Random chars, no dictionary, just reassuring myself of its security. Ive no experience of of Wrench, I shall check out your link, thank you | 14:42 |
| blackflow | :) | 14:42 |
| bonsaitree | Interesting, since i am using this kernel, the alt+tab process is accompanied by this kind of transition animation, like the video driver is not making a smooth transition: http://cosketch.com/Saved/p8yJQJPy | 14:43 |
| scottjl | lol | 14:43 |
| scottjl | wrench > all | 14:43 |
| blackflow | always :) | 14:43 |
| smokey-screen | blackflow: somewhat comical however it gets the point across! Thank you - I would happily hand over the laptop in the event of a mugging or such, just in case of theft from location etc | 14:44 |
| ekee | anyone here? | 14:45 |
| smokey-screen | blackflow: thanks for your time + input | 14:45 |
| ducasse | smokey-screen: afaik veracrypt is/was also available for linux | 14:45 |
| blackflow | smokey-screen: yeah :) It's (LUKS is) very good for situations whn your laptop/disk is stolen, or for servers when they get replaced in case of failure (who knows where they end up). | 14:45 |
| mdevi | ikonia: that seems to be working :) cheers | 14:45 |

| eva | it had cracked win7 | 15:09 |
| edward__ | can I somehow extract linux16 command from 32bit ubuntu into 64bit one ? | 15:09 |
| dopiwan | Does anyone use PRTG to monitor ubuntu servers? I was hoping for some suggestions on which sensors will help me monitor system performance including CPU/Memory/Disk/Bandwidth and Network Connections... any suggestions? | 15:09 |
| eva | :( | 15:09 |
| immu | so you don't have a licensed version of Windows | 15:09 |
| eva | no i just bought the pc from scrats | 15:10 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: PRTG no, but I use Munin | 15:10 |
| eva | i had win7 before win10 | 15:10 |
| eva | :) | 15:10 |
| immu | did you install Windows10, was it running when you installed Ubuntu | 15:11 |
| Mshangao | I'm just newbie :D | 15:11 |
| dopiwan | blackflow: does that install on the server itself? if so, what's the performance overhead like? | 15:11 |
| Mshangao | Hello everyone :P | 15:11 |
| eva | i want to keep linux and put win10 ;) | 15:11 |
| immu | see even i have windows10 and ubuntu as dual boot | 15:11 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: yes, there's master that collects data and "nodes" that run the metrics when called, default is every 5 minutes | 15:11 |
| eva | it was running then i installed linux | 15:11 |
| dopiwan | blackflow: "master" as in that data can be sent to a collection server? do you know if that data can get fed to Splunk? | 15:12 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: the nodes are fairly light perl daemons and the actual performance impact depends on the metrics you collect and with which plugins, there's lots of them | 15:12 |
| eva | i got win10 iso file on my pc | 15:12 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: I don't know if it can be fed to Splunk, but the db is simple rrd files on the master side | 15:12 |
| immu | eva: can you check when you reboot, it might have windows10 entry in the grub menu | 15:12 |
| eva | my usb is small for 4.3GB | 15:12 |
| eva | it dosent | 15:13 |
| eva | immu, it dosent | 15:13 |
| dopiwan | blackflow: thanks, the demo site looks pretty nifty... better if I could integrate into PRTG somehow | 15:13 |
| immu | eva: sure | 15:13 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: munin nodes have snmp plugins too if that helps | 15:14 |
| dopiwan | blackflow: does it have a dependency on snmpd ? | 15:14 |
| blackflow | dopiwan: I don't know, sorry | 15:14 |
| dopiwan | np thx | 15:14 |
| eva | yes immu im sure | 15:15 |
| immu | it looks basically your whole partition has being deleted when you chose to install Ubuntu | 15:16 |
| eva | hmm | 15:16 |

| EriC^^ | eva: if you want any data back from windows, use the live usb you used to install ubuntu and boot it, or get another live usb from ubuntu.com | 15:18 |
| immu | do you have a legally purchased copy of Windows? | 15:18 |
| edward__ | the question is how to create boot entry for extracted dos a like iso in grub 2 ? | 15:18 |

| Seditio | hi guys, I'm asking on behalf of a friend who can't get his desktop to play nicely, currently running 17.04 with a peculiar GPU setup | 15:24 |
| Seditio | when he installed nvidia proprietary drivers, the system wouldn't boot, when he's on nouveau, it boots but the desktop renders at about 5 fps and the monitor layout it borked | 15:24 |
| Seditio | see screen layout here: http://i.imgur.com/P5QQmli.jpg | 15:25 |
| Seditio | but as he has two nvidia gpus, he has these options: http://i.imgur.com/qecTyOD.png | 15:25 |

| Anthaas | Hi guys - I have a headless vm running ubuntu 16.04, but the DNS doesn't seem to work. | 15:32 |
| Anthaas | I am unable to resolve known hosts. | 15:32 |
| __Yiota | Anthaas can you ping 8.8.8.8? | 15:33 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: how is it getting an IP address? are you NAT or Bridged? | 15:33 |
| Anthaas | __Yiota, Yes :S I can't ping smtp.gmail.com | 15:34 |
| __Yiota | yeah, can't resolve the host | 15:34 |
| __Yiota | are your ports open? | 15:34 |
| __Yiota | I think DNS needs a few ports | 15:34 |
| Anthaas | (Im learning web dev and trying to use my gmail account as part of registering) | 15:34 |
| Anthaas | Uhh, how would I check? | 15:34 |
| __Yiota | are you usin ufw/iptables? | 15:34 |
| Anthaas | I can ping it from the host machine, btw. | 15:34 |
| eva | okey i got win10 on my usb | 15:34 |
| Anthaas | Again, I wouldn't know, sorry. | 15:35 |
| eva | now i need to reboot | 15:35 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: whta do u see in cat /etc/resolv.conf | 15:35 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, The only uncommented line is: nameserver 10.0.2.3 | 15:35 |
| edward__ | can I force 32bit grub2 on 64bit system ? | 15:36 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: can u ping 10.0.2.3 ... is that a valid DNS server from your host? | 15:36 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, From the host no, it times out. | 15:36 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, From the VM yes. | 15:37 |
| edward__ | any1 tried menu entry in grub2 for hirens boot on 64 bit ubuntu ? | 15:39 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: can you ping your hosts authoritative dns server from your VM ? | 15:39 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, You can probably guess what I am about to ask... haha | 15:40 |
| omagash | Hey, any ideas to make an entry of Remix OS to grub? | 15:40 |
| Anthaas | In fact, Im sure 8.8.8.8 is the DNS from my host. | 15:40 |
| Anthaas | One sec, Ill check | 15:40 |
| esben | I experience some graphics corruption on my brand new HP 255 G5 with R5 graphics. Using ubuntu 17.04 gnome edition. It boots fine and I can type commands in "blind", but the screen only shows some horizontal stripes... I can boot with nomodeset, where Im at right now | 15:40 |
| esben | any help? | 15:41 |
| EriC^^ | esben: try sudo ubuntu-drivers devices | nc termbin.com 9999 | 15:41 |
| EriC^^ | paste the link it gives you here | 15:41 |
| omagash | Hey, any ideas to make an entry of Remix OS to grub? | 15:42 |
| eva | hey | 15:42 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, Yeah, I can ping 192.168.0.1 from the VM (which is the IPV4 DNS) | 15:42 |
| Anthaas | of my host | 15:42 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: edit your resolv.conf remove the 10.x line and put in 192.168.0.1 | 15:42 |
| EriC^^ | omagash: try sudo update-grub and see if you get anything | 15:42 |
| scottjl | esben: when you added nomodeset did you take out quiet nosplash? | 15:42 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, It says not to edit because the changes will be overwritten | 15:43 |
| scottjl | sorry quite splash | 15:43 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: thats correct, I'm assuming your VM is getting a NAT IP from the host and not propogating correct DNS info... if you can modify DHCP settings in your host to tell what nameserver to use look for that | 15:43 |
| omagash | EriC^^: I tried it already, it still shows my old entries, nothing new :/ | 15:43 |

| logikos | is there a way to undo that or a way to fix it? | 15:45 |

| EriC^^ | omagash: are you dual booting with windows? there are 2 ntfs ones | 15:47 |
| dopiwan | anthaas try setting your network mode to Bridged for teh VM, that might be your easiest fix | 15:47 |
| EriC^^ | omagash: actually 3 ones | 15:47 |
| omagash | I have two OS's Ubuntu and XP (excluding Remix) | 15:47 |
| omagash | the third one is for Remix | 15:47 |
| EriC^^ | omagash: on which partition did you install remix? how big was the size? | 15:48 |
| omagash | around 8GB | 15:48 |
| Anthaas | dopiwan, VM has 2 network adapters, one is attached to NAT, other is Host-only adapter. | 15:48 |
| EriC^^ | ok, try sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt | 15:48 |
| EriC^^ | omagash: ^ | 15:48 |
| dopiwan | Anthaas: change the NAT to Bridged | 15:48 |
| dopiwan | then reboot VM and let me know | 15:49 |
| omagash | EriC^^: then? | 15:49 |

The user list still shows my user but whenever I try logging it it tells me there was an error. Any has any tips on how I can debug this further? The krb/samba config files seem unchanged by the upgrade. | 15:55 |

| ducasse | andrew_: no worries :) | 16:28 |
| andrew_ | EriC^^: So just copy the command line after exec=, and leave the rest as it is? | 16:28 |
| EriC^^ | andrew_: yeah, change the exec= part and the name | 16:29 |
| andrew_ | EriC^^: It works. Fantastic. | 16:30 |

| eva | hmm | 16:40 |
| ducasse | Canoe: try #ubuntu-offtopic | 16:40 |
| baizon | andrew_: different cpu usage | 16:41 |

| baizon | andrew_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/400/tips-to-extend-battery-life-for-laptops-and-notebooks | 16:42 |

| tony- | doesnt list the display manager | 16:42 |
| mint1 | thats your desktop | 16:42 |
| tony- | ya | 16:42 |

| andrew_ | baizon: thabks. I'll take a look at it | 16:43 |
| transhuman | I was thinking, tell me if my logic is wrong, If I install Ubuntu with all the packages LAMP and sendmail and basic LXDE and a couple other things, then I generate a list of all these packages, I should be able to make another instances packages identical by removing the rest of the packages that it has, is this reasonable (sounds like a weird way of going about it I know, but I have my reasons)...thanks in advance | 16:43 |

| wiggmpk | Having trouble identifying temperature sensors. Using UDisks2. I show Core 0-3 which is obvious, then I also show Physical Id0, temp1, and temp1.. Any thoughts? | 16:51 |
| andrew_ | flux242: If you have some detailed guide please link it to me, but it has to be detailed because I'm new to linux | 16:51 |

| Canoe | Are you using the right function key to boot from the usb media? | 17:22 |
| kostkon | netcrime, and it boots on your already existing desktop? | 17:23 |
| Canoe | Usually f8 or f12 or del | 17:23 |

| mikeymop | can someone help me with RSA identification im' getting frustrated | 17:53 |
| mikeymop | my notebook is in authorized keys and works fine | 17:54 |
| mikeymop | I have a server I connect too as a middleman betwen public clients and my vps, this has another set of RSA.pubs | 17:54 |
| mikeymop | so on my vps, I scp the rsaid.pub over, and cat >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys | 17:54 |
| mikeymop | now I ssh into this middleman, try to ssh to my vps | 17:55 |
| mikeymop | it now asks for a passphrase for my key. I type the passphrase I set from ssh-keygen -t and it is wrong | 17:55 |
| mikeymop | so i try any and all passwords I have ever used and NONE work | 17:55 |
| SimonT | I have 16.04 server installed on a Zotac ZBOX. Booting takes longer than I expect compared to other similar hardware. systemd-analyze shows that networking.service takes 10s, I'm guessing it has to do with the built in wifi that I don't use. Any way I can speed things up? | 17:55 |
| mikeymop | do you use wifi? | 17:56 |
| mikeymop | or eth? | 17:56 |
| FManTropyx | my swap usage is at 62% | 17:57 |
| VTas | FManTropyx: out of curiosity, what is your actual ram size, ram usage, swap size, swap usage: 62%, hdd size and hdd usage? | 17:59 |
| FManTropyx | so many questions... this old box has 2 GB RAM, same size swap, no idea of RAM usage | 18:00 |
| Lukker | hello everyone | 18:01 |
| FManTropyx | hi | 18:01 |
| implite | FManTropyx: are you using lubuntu? | 18:01 |
| Lukker | i need some help with the apache installation on my ubuntu server 16.10 | 18:03 |
| implite | !apache | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Apache HTTP Server is the most commonly used HTTP server on Linux systems. For setup information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/httpd.html . For information on setting up a "LAMP stack", see /msg ubottu !lamp. | 18:03 |
| SimonT | mikeymop: I use eth only, I don't use the wifi at all | 18:03 |
| Lukker | i installed from source code | 18:04 |
| Lukker | because of a school project i am not allowed to use apt-get | 18:04 |
| FManTropyx | the whole system freezes for minutes at a time to a point that the clock on the screen stops and even the mouse pointer cannot be moved | 18:05 |
| FManTropyx | this is Ubuntu Studio 16.04.2 | 18:06 |
| Lukker | so i installed the dependencies needed in tar.gz format extract them, renamed, make , make install and so on | 18:06 |
| implite | FManTropyx: you should try the lubuntu iso | 18:06 |
| implite | less resources used | 18:06 |
| FManTropyx | now I don't know what is happening... 100% HDD usage | 18:06 |
| FManTropyx | Firefox is allocating half of my memory in use :P | 18:07 |
| blackflow | FManTropyx: are you running out of ram and it's swapping like there's no tomorrow? | 18:07 |
| FManTropyx | yeah | 18:07 |
| FManTropyx | I didn't think Linux did that, but I've been there with Windows before | 18:07 |
| blackflow | FManTropyx: so then you'll need more ram | 18:07 |
| implite | or try lubuntu | 18:07 |
| Lukker | when i am almost done with the installation the pcre gives me an error. Is it possible to delete only the pcre library and install it again or it is a bad idea | 18:07 |
| Lukker | ?? | 18:07 |
| Jordan_U | Lukker: Does your teacher literally require that you not use apt-get at all in this process? It is never recommended to install all build-dependancies by source (though again, it would pretty much never be recommended to build apache from source for real use anyway). | 18:08 |
| Lukker | YES | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | FManTropyx: or use a different browser :-) | 18:08 |
| Lukker | He says that his dead grand mother can use apt-get and i kind of understand that :) | 18:08 |
| Jordan_U | Lukker: You might be better off starting with Linux From Scratch and getting help there then, as you're close to that point anyway (and they are actually there to provide this type of support). | 18:09 |
| FManTropyx | I think I just need more freakin RAM :P | 18:09 |
| Lukker | you mean another support channel? | 18:10 |
| SimonT | FManTropyx: yes... 2gb is not much, especially with Firefox | 18:10 |
| Lukker | i am new here... | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | FManTropyx: how much do you have? | 18:10 |
| implite | FManTropyx: lubuntu works great on old/low memory/slow systems | 18:10 |
| Lukker | i didn´t quiet understood what do you mean by that... | 18:11 |
| lewix | Command A & Command B | 18:11 |
| lewix | Execute Command A, then execute Command B (no evaluation of anything) | 18:11 |
| lewix | y | 18:11 |
| lewix | what's the equivalent with linux | 18:11 |
| ducasse | Lukker: he means this is way beyond what is supported here, you're doing everything the non-ubuntu way | 18:12 |
| lewix | not && | 18:12 |
| FManTropyx | this is an old business box (HP small form-factor DC7800 etc) and I think its age is 10 years :) | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | Lukker: use the nick od the person you want to address | 18:12 |
| BluesKaj | od=of | 18:12 |
| implite | lukker: #lfs-support | 18:12 |
| SimonT | lewix: sorry.. what's wrong with && ? | 18:12 |
| FManTropyx | I cannot really afford or justify the purchase of a new computer, but I have been looking at getting a used laptop with 4 GB RAM | 18:13 |
| lewix | it's not the equivalent SimonT | 18:13 |
| Lukker | come on guys... i been jumping around all day from forum to forum and nobody can help me. | 18:13 |
| lewix | && Execute Command A, evaluate the errorlevel after running and if the exit code (errorlevel) is 0, only then execute Command B | 18:13 |
| SimonT | you could suppress the errors from command A? | 18:13 |
| lewix | SimonT: also i dont think && work with sh, it seems to only work with bash. I might be wrong | 18:14 |
| logikos | on a new laptop that came with ubuntu i did an update that asked me about disabiling uefi secure boot ... it was selected by default so i just went with it ... however after the update a lot of stuff is not broken .. is there a way to re-enable secure boot in ubuntu just so i can try that before restorying the system to factory? | 18:15 |
| ducasse | lewix: are you after ';'? | 18:15 |
| lewix | ducasse: yes but it doesnt work with windows | 18:15 |
| ducasse | lewix: why would you ask us about windows? | 18:15 |
| lewix | ducasse: that was my first inclination to use ; | 18:15 |
| lewix | ducasse: Did I ask about windows? | 18:15 |
| Lukker | [20:15] <ChrisS67> then ask on Ubuntu support channels( this is what i get from the other channels)great.....isn´t it?? | 18:16 |
| lewix | I asked about the equivalent of && (which is what windows use) and it's slightly different from ; | 18:16 |
| SimonT | I have 16.04 server installed on a Zotac ZBOX. Booting takes longer than I expect compared to other similar hardware. systemd-analyze shows that networking.service takes 10s, I'm guessing it has to do with the built in wifi that I don't use. Any way I can speed things up? | 18:16 |

| root | ss | 18:17 |
| === root is now known as Guest90196 | ||
| blackflow | Lukker: earlier you were advised to use apt-file to find the package you need for that particular missing pcre binary, did you try that? | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | SimonT: you could remove network manager and use the interfaxes file like so https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ | 18:21 |
| BluesKaj | interfaces file rather | 18:21 |
| ioria | lewix, it can work, but not in dos (you can install msys and call bash in the cmd win) | 18:23 |
| FManTropyx | I just noticed I am also uploading at half a megabit | 18:27 |
| FManTropyx | make that megabyte | 18:27 |

| implite | FManTropyx: have you looked at lightweight ubuntu? http://lubuntu.net/ | 18:28 |
| implite | you can find a faster operating system for your low memory requirements for your system there | 18:29 |
| YankDownUnder | Stripping out LxDE and replacing it with WindowMaker is even lighter. | 18:29 |

| CarlFK | "grub-installer: Installation finished. No error reported." see again at #1260 of http://paste.ubuntu.com/24428385/ and yet post says no boot device. booted into installer rescue mode. anyone have some guesses as to how to install grub? | 18:34 |
| CarlFK | it is an onboard ssd, kernel dev name: Apr 21 05:45:50 rescue-mode: partitions found: /dev/nvme0n1p1 | 18:35 |
| blackflow | CarlFK: that means the bootloader is installed, however is there a /boot for it to access? is there a kernel and grub config in it? | 18:35 |
| ioria | CarlFK, are you 32 bit ? | 18:36 |
| CarlFK | blackflow: looks like it: /target/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-19-generic /target/boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:36 |
| blackflow | CarlFK: and BIOS is set up for legacy (not EFI) boot? | 18:37 |
| CarlFK | ioria: um.. it is a x64 cpu, but I think grub is a 32 bit thing | 18:37 |
| ioria | CarlFK, idt so, Installing for i386-pc platform. | 18:37 |
| ioria | CarlFK, uname -a | 18:38 |
| CarlFK | blackflow: it was booting xenial ok before. shouldn't I be able to boot grub in EFI? | 18:39 |
| CarlFK | ioria: Linux gator 4.10.0-19-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 6 17:04:57 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 18:39 |
| abolfazl | hi.I have an .sh file.I add it to PATH and I can run it of every of my pc.i want to now where is this file address.are there any commend? | 18:40 |
| blackflow | CarlFK: yes but that requires special set up | 18:40 |
| ioria | CarlFK, you are 64 bit... | 18:40 |
| CarlFK | abolfazl: I think you want wich an.sh (or whatever the filename is) | 18:41 |
| Epx998 | what filesystems are supported as the root fs? | 18:41 |
| Epx998 | ubuntu doesnt support xfs as the root fs yet, right? | 18:41 |
| abolfazl | I want to know where is the file in my pc.(I want to know where is it address) | 18:41 |
| bonsaitree | I am noticing something interesting after the reinstall of 16.04. While scolling in Google Chrome or while alt+tabing i am noticing a shape similar to this one, appearing in the middle of the screen: http://cosketch.com/Saved/p8yJQJPy . | 18:42 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: can you paste the partition table of your boot disk including: EFI System Partition (FAT) and root partition? | 18:42 |
| sisyphus | If your disk is /dev/sda, you can print the partition table using the command: 'sudo parted /dev/sda print' (without the quotes) | 18:43 |
| CarlFK | sisyphus: umm. http://paste.ubuntu.com/24428458/ | 18:43 |
| CarlFK | k - ill do parted too | 18:43 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: Your partition table format and partitions are not compatible with EFI. For using EFI, you need ALL the following: | 18:44 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: Partition table should be GPT and not MBR - when it is GPT, fdisk will complain - you should use gdisk of sgdisk of cgdisk | 18:45 |
| CarlFK | sisyphus: was EFI an option in the ubuntu installer? I just kinda blew through the defaults | 18:45 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: You NEED an EFI system partition (using sgdisk it is of type EF00) | 18:45 |
| ioria | CarlFK, it's up to you boot the installer (your usb) in efi mode | 18:45 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: EFI System partition should be formatted as vfat (if partition is /dev/sda1, use command 'sudo mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1) | 18:46 |
| abolfazl | hi.I have an .sh file.I add it to PATH and I can run it of every of my pc.i want to now where is this file address.are there any commend? | 18:46 |
| Jordan_U | CarlFK: If you boot the Ubuntu installation media via UEFI then it will install Ubuntu such that it can be booted via UEFI. You probably booted the installer via CSM (BIOS). | 18:46 |
| blackflow | sisyphus: CarlFK: it also requires GPT partitioning, this was msdos | 18:46 |
| blackflow | sisyphus: ah you said that already, k | 18:46 |
| sisyphus | Also, the answer by Jordan_U is correct - if you (had) booted in EFI mode you may have hinted the installer to install EFI | 18:46 |
| CarlFK | ok, I'll figure out how to re-run the install in EFI mode | 18:47 |
| scottjl | abolfazl: which file.sh | 18:47 |
| abolfazl | startup.sh | 18:47 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: Last, but not least, you need to boot in EFI mode (Firmware setting) once you have installed EFI apps correctly | 18:47 |
| abolfazl | I want it address | 18:47 |
| scottjl | abolfazl: what do you mean by address? location | 18:47 |
| abolfazl | yes | 18:47 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: Which flavor of Ubuntu are you installing? | 18:47 |
| scottjl | abolfazl: type: which startup.sh | 18:48 |
| CarlFK | sisyphus: zesty | 18:48 |
| sisyphus | Standard Ubuntu (Unity) or Mate or Kubuntu (KDE) or Xubuntu (xfce) or Lubuntu (LXDE)? | 18:48 |
| abolfazl | thanks scottjl | 18:49 |
| sisyphus | CarlFK: When re-installing, choose the boot medium as 'UEFI: XXXX' or set firmware to be UEFI-ONLY | 18:49 |
| scottjl | abolfazl: you're welcome | 18:49 |
| CarlFK | sisyphus: standard. the exact thing I am booting: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/zesty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz | 18:51 |

| sysadmin75 | Hello all. I'm dealing with a networking issue on 14.04.4 server. | 18:56 |
| sysadmin75 | I need to bring additional IPs on eth0. eth0 pings just fine. But none of the additional ping (eth0:0, eth0:1, etc...) | 18:56 |
| sysadmin75 | what am I missing | 18:56 |
| compdoc | what are the ip add ranges? | 18:57 |
| CarlFK | ioria: CarlFK, "the mini iso lacks ..." I may be bumping into the same problem | 18:58 |
| sysadmin75 | it's a private IP | 18:58 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: you can see/use them? they are up and running? | 18:58 |
| sysadmin75 | ifconfig shows them. And eth0 is accessible | 18:58 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: are you using iptables? rules blocking icmp? | 18:58 |
| sysadmin75 | no iptables | 18:58 |
| scottjl | can you connect to them? | 18:58 |
| scottjl | from another server | 18:59 |
| scottjl | can you ping the eth0 address? | 18:59 |
| sysadmin75 | only main address pings. The others do not | 18:59 |
| sysadmin75 | and no they are not accessible | 18:59 |
| scottjl | so they aren't up | 18:59 |
| CarlFK | sysadmin75: we really do want to know the IPs | 19:00 |
| ozcanesen | i removed user password, using sudo passwd -d username | 19:00 |
| scottjl | pastebin ifconfig -a | 19:00 |
| ozcanesen | now i can not do su username | 19:00 |
| ozcanesen | it asks password | 19:00 |
| scottjl | if i remember correctly they do have to be on the same subnet as the main IP. been a while since i played with aliases. | 19:01 |
| scottjl | if the are up they should at least be pingable on the machine itself. if you can't do that you didn't define them correctly. | 19:02 |
| sysadmin75 | scottjl: https://pastebin.com/LUAg19Ha | 19:03 |
| scottjl | on the box can you even ping 192.168.13.13 ? | 19:04 |
| sysadmin75 | yes I am able to ping all IPs on the server itself | 19:04 |
| sysadmin75 | only eth0 is pinging from outside | 19:04 |
| scottjl | been a while. let me set up a test and check it out | 19:05 |
| sysadmin75 | This is a fresh install using ubuntu-14.04.4-server-amd64.iso | 19:05 |
| scottjl | your other box, it's on the same subnet? | 19:07 |
| bonsaitree | I am noticing something interesting after the reinstall of 16.04. While scolling in Google Chrome or while alt+tabing i am noticing a shape similar to this one, appearing in the middle of the screen: http://cosketch.com/Saved/p8yJQJPy . I am curious to know why it's like that, anyone knows? :) | 19:07 |
| scottjl | bonsaitree: graphics driver glitch? | 19:07 |
| sysadmin75 | scottjl: No it's not on the same subnet. However, my box has access to the subnet. | 19:08 |
| bonsaitree | scottjl, Yeah, but was wondering if anyone has figured what exactly is causing that. I think it was present before too, but it was a straight line, now it's a trapezoid like thing | 19:08 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: hmm.. i just set up a test and i'm able to ping it from another box on the same subnet. | 19:11 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: maybe a router issue? | 19:11 |
| sysadmin75 | scottjl: Also, if I take down all IPs and assign eth0:3 to eth0, then it starts pinging | 19:11 |
| scottjl | infact i'm able to ping the alias just fine from the internet. lol | 19:12 |
| scottjl | i'd take a look at your router between the subnets. | 19:12 |
| sysadmin75 | ok thank you | 19:14 |
| andrew__ | Hello. I installed Ubuntu alongside windows 10 and was working fine. But I just booted from a live usb to test some stuff and after that it doesn't appear grub anymore at restart. | 19:14 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: you're welcome. sorry i couldn't help further. i didn't do anything but spin up a vm, add an alias on the command line, and it was pingable. | 19:15 |
| PrestiJ | . | 19:15 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: maybe post your interfaces file, but the ifconfig looked good to me | 19:15 |
| Duckle | Hey there. I can't control the volume of my laptop. It just seems to ignore the media keys for volume up down and mute. I think it's because I've had a bluetooth headset connected, and it still thinks that's the sink it needs to control, problem is, that headset was my fathers, and I'm 100km away from him | 19:15 |
| sysadmin75 | scottjl: Ha, I've already started a re-install. But it followed the normal file format | 19:16 |
| andrew__ | GRUB disappeared after booting with a Live USB. What happened??? | 19:21 |
| implite | scottjl: wow hahaha a new window manager for me to learn about "Ratpoison" ..... I thought you where trolling me | 19:25 |
| implite | nice | 19:25 |
| scottjl | implite: lol. no. rp is quite old. personally i use i3wm, light weight, fully featured. | 19:26 |
| scottjl | but you can't get more bare-bones than ratpoison | 19:26 |

| thelinuxchannel | Hi, did anyone tried GlusterFS on the new Ubuntu 17.04 ? | 19:33 |
| thelinuxchannel | I am facing some issues :( | 19:33 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: that looks good to me. i think when i used them i didn't even bother with netmask. just set the address and moved on. | 19:33 |
| sysadmin75 | ok, thanks scott | 19:34 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: you don't happen to have network manager running too (is this a desktop or a server?) that could be interfering. | 19:35 |
| sysadmin75 | it's server and these are the proceses | 19:35 |
| sysadmin75 | https://pastebin.com/FVTiFt6E | 19:35 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: else i'd check your router. i'm definitely out of ideas now | 19:36 |
| sysadmin75 | yeah I've been working at this for 2 days. I sent an email to those running the router to see what they say | 19:36 |
| CarlFK | scottjl: forgive the drive by helping... I didn't look at IPs... does the netmask on the box diong the ping cover the IP being pinged? | 19:36 |
| sysadmin75 | it's just stange I can move any of the alias IPs to the main and it works | 19:37 |
| scottjl | CarlFK: yeah. | 19:37 |
| CarlFK | oh and that. yeah, never mind. | 19:37 |
| eva | hi | 19:37 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: um. are you natted? | 19:37 |
| eva | o.O | 19:37 |
| StephenS | has anyone used this ppa https://launchpad.net/~strukturag/+archive/ubuntu/libde265 ? | 19:38 |
| CarlFK | sysadmin75: what is the hardware between the 2 boxes? Im hoping for 2 wires and a switch | 19:38 |
| sysadmin75 | i dont' think so | 19:38 |
| scottjl | sysadmin75: i'm definitely suspecting the router/firewall since you said that | 19:38 |
| CarlFK | oh dear. | 19:38 |
| StephenS | I am looking for a way to play hvec x265 video file, and I'm not sure if I should trust this ppa | 19:38 |
| scottjl | CarlFK: no. it's on the other side of some router/firewall | 19:38 |
| CarlFK | scottjl: well... lp ppa's are complied from source and keyed so the binary you dl is 'trusted'. so someone can look at the source. | 19:39 |
| ioria | StephenS, it's old and not supported in xenial or zesty, unless you're running trusty | 19:39 |
| scottjl | CarlFK: i have no idea what you're talking about there. wrong channel? | 19:39 |
| StephenS | yap im on trusty | 19:39 |
| CarlFK | scottjl: er, wrong nic.. leme try again | 19:40 |
| StephenS | ioria, is hvec on ubuntu 16.04 support out of the box? | 19:40 |
| CarlFK | StephenS: : well... lp ppa's are complied from source and keyed so the binary you dl is 'trusted'. so someone can look at the source. | 19:40 |
| ioria | StephenS, give a look at this https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/ubuntu/mpv-tests | 19:40 |
| StephenS | what with that? | 19:41 |
| StephenS | I want to stick with vlc, not mpv | 19:41 |
| dax | PPAs are created by random people, who may make any modification to existing source code that they wish. They are about as trustworthy as their creators, and none of them are officially supported. | 19:42 |
| ioria | StephenS, vlc will crash with 265, but not sure | 19:42 |
| dax | i.e.: if the creator is some random person on the internet, the trust value of their PPA is approximately zero | 19:43 |
| FManTropyx | hmmh, the pre-installed MPlayer does not work | 19:44 |
| Jordan_U | StephenS: What happens when you try to play H.265 videos in VLC now? | 19:45 |
| YankDownUnder | StephenS: On 16.04, if anything, you can add the codec to the system with: sudo apt-get install x265 | 19:46 |
| dw1 | i have a file i can see with ls but i can't access with most programs. file describes it as JFIF 1.02 | 19:46 |
| dw1 | most programs. including cp, convert, etc., say "file not found" | 19:47 |
| dw1 | i got it this bad file from the interwebs, and i need it. :] | 19:47 |
| YankDownUnder | dw1: It's being recognised as a graphics file. | 19:47 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: What is the exact and complete path to this file? | 19:47 |
| dw1 | also ls doesn't show it in the same colour as other files | 19:47 |
| dw1 | the path is all alphanumeric and not too long | 19:48 |
| dw1 | it's a .jpg | 19:48 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: Do you have a reason for not sharing the exact and complete path? | 19:48 |
| dw1 | yeah, has my site in it etc | 19:48 |
| tgm4883 | dw1: your website? | 19:49 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: That will make trying to help you much harder, to the point that I might not be willing to even try (though others might). | 19:49 |
| dw1 | it's just a normal path | 19:49 |
| dw1 | /var/www/example.com/public_html/img/example-09685_fig2.jpg | 19:49 |
| tgm4883 | trying to keep a website address secret seems silly to me | 19:50 |
| dw1 | who cares, it's off topic | 19:50 |
| dw1 | the file system doesnt like the file type idk | 19:50 |
| scottjl | probably a porn site | 19:50 |
| dw1 | no it's not i just don't need more competition | 19:50 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: Please post the output of "ls -l /var/www/example.com/public_html/img/example-09685_fig2.jpg". | 19:50 |
| scottjl | sure there's no special characters hidden in the name? | 19:50 |
| scottjl | should try ls -lb | 19:51 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: I seriously doubt that anyone in this channel cares to compete with you. | 19:51 |
| postmodern | is there an official command for listing added PPAs? | 19:51 |
| dw1 | https://pastebin.com/raw/mNJXZkha | 19:52 |
| dw1 | looks the same like i said, but it's coloured differently | 19:53 |
| scottjl | the color is only the permissions on the file. not a big deal. you should still be able to read it | 19:53 |
| scottjl | dw1: you can access the other files in that directory ok? | 19:53 |
| dw1 | some others have the same problem | 19:54 |
| dw1 | but most dont | 19:54 |
| scottjl | try a -alhb | 19:54 |
| scottjl | see if any funny chars print | 19:54 |
| dw1 | you nailed it | 19:54 |
| Jordan_U | postmodern: Not "official", but https://askubuntu.com/questions/148932/how-can-i-get-a-list-of-all-repositories-and-ppas-from-the-command-line-into-an . Note that for most purposes "ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/" will get the job done. | 19:54 |
| scottjl | :-) | 19:54 |
| dw1 | there's a slash at the end :] thanks | 19:54 |
| andywork | dw1: good luck with the porn site! | 19:55 |
| dw1 | lol | 19:55 |
| scottjl | so easiest way to remove them is "mv example-09685.jpg* example-09685.jpg | 19:55 |
| scottjl | " | 19:55 |
| scottjl | do that for each funny file | 19:55 |
| scottjl | should trim off the hidden crap | 19:56 |
| dw1 | yea, awesome | 19:56 |
| Jordan_U | dw1: By the way, that command isn't showing that there is a '\' at the end of the file, it's showing that there is whitespace (like a space or tab) at the end of the file. | 19:58 |
| dw1 | ahh good point thx | 19:58 |
| StephenS | Jordan_U, that ppa works and vlc plays h256 fine | 20:09 |
| StephenS | just asking if ppa is any good | 20:09 |
| YankDownUnder | StephenS: Which PPA? | 20:10 |
| StephenS | this ppa https://launchpad.net/~strukturag/+archive/ubuntu/libde265 ? | 20:10 |
| YankDownUnder | StephenS: If it's on Launchpad, I'll assume the bloke/girl has a reputation and it would be trustworthy. | 20:10 |
| StephenS | alright, ty | 20:11 |
| YankDownUnder | StephenS: I'd just make sure the person's name wasn't "Stephen" - very untrustworthy name that...(Oh wait! That's my name!) ;) | 20:12 |
| Batin | hello | 20:14 |
| Batin | what are the minimum RAM requirements for Ubuntu 17.04 i386 Desktop? | 20:15 |
| snowrichard2 | hi | 20:15 |
| Batin | hi | 20:15 |
| YankDownUnder | Batin: I'm surprised you haven't looked: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME | 20:16 |
| YankDownUnder | "Let me Google that for you" | 20:16 |
| Batin | YankDownUnder, I have read it, but I think that it is for the AMD64 | 20:17 |
| YankDownUnder | Batin: Easy -> have at least 2gb of RAM...you might find a bit of a struggle if your graphics card is "onboard"...4gb - at least - would suffice...also, bear in mind that 17.04 is a dev release...the LTS releases have more stability and support. :) | 20:19 |
| Batin | YankDownUnder, the problem is that the computer has only one GB of RAM | 20:19 |
| Batin | probably I will have to install 16.04 for i386 | 20:20 |
| YankDownUnder | Batin: You might want to find a different linux distro for a machine of that spec...unless you're planning on adding RAM... | 20:20 |
| YankDownUnder | Batin: That might work. | 20:20 |
| Batin | ok, I will try | 20:21 |
| ducasse | Batin: you can try lubuntu | 20:21 |
| ducasse | Batin: 1gb is not much, though. depends on what you're going to use it for. | 20:21 |
| Batin | ducasse, ok, I will give it a try too. The computer is a bit old, 13 years | 20:22 |
| Bashing-om | Batin: +1 ^^ " Lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware." . | 20:22 |
| Batin | I see | 20:23 |
| ducasse | Batin: it might be time to get a new one, then. | 20:23 |
| Batin | it is for an org with low budget | 20:23 |

| fun | About any os | 21:06 |
| ikonia | fun: we don't support any OS | 21:07 |
| ikonia | fun: join #fedora for help with your fedora problems | 21:07 |
| ducasse | chalcedony: ok. then i would just remove the libreoffice copies you downloaded and try 'sudo apt install libreoffice'. using software from the repos is preferable to downloading it from websites. | 21:07 |
| daxorid | ducasse: yeah, no shell. so, am I out of luck here? no way to troubleshoot this? | 21:07 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: That says not installed and looking to get from our repo . what show now ' dpkg -l | grep libreoffice ' ? | 21:08 |
| ducasse | daxorid: usually the log provides info on what has gone wrong, i have no other suggestion right now. | 21:10 |
| daxorid | allright, thanks anyway. | 21:11 |

| chalcedony | Bashing-om, ~$ dpkg -l | grep libreoffice | 21:12 |
| chalcedony | nothing | 21:12 |
| chalcedony | i wonder what he did? | 21:12 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Let's ";ook" at what might be propr to attempting a install from our repo . what shows ' sudo find / -name libreoffice ' . Got to be a reason ! | 21:13 |
| Bashing-om | "look" | 21:14 |
| marvin2 | how can I grep for files that contain both "foo" and "bar" (not necessarily one after another)? | 21:14 |
| ducasse | daxorid: ok. i would probably rewrite the image (if possible on another stick) just in case and restart the installation, rather than spend more time on this. | 21:14 |
| daxorid | ducasse: finally found one thread with the exact same problem: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2322570 | 21:15 |
| daxorid | looks like it's just expected for installation to take 4 hours or so | 21:15 |
| daxorid | although I don't have RAID hardware on this box - otherwise symptoms are identical to that thread. | 21:15 |
| ducasse | daxorid: i know it can take long, i've just never seen it go beyond 30 minutes. | 21:16 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, it found a lot of them | 21:16 |

| latino31 | there is a bug when trying to uninstall python3.5 with synaptic manager...it gives a list of items it wants to remove one of which is apparmor? i tried unintalling python3.5 in ubuntu 16.10 and it crashed my ubuntu because it tried to remove a lot of stuff | 22:15 |
| nacc | latino31: why are you removing python3.5? | 22:15 |
| latino31 | synaptic package manager | 22:15 |
| ikonia | "why" | 22:15 |
| dax | that isn't a bug. apparmor depends on python3, current version of python3 in Ubuntu is python3.5 | 22:15 |
| kostkon | latino31, python is a major part of ubuntu don't remove it | 22:16 |
| Sparrow_ | Probably part of meta-package if memory serves. | 22:16 |
| latino31 | kostkon, thanks for the info now after my ubuntu crashed a few weeks.. | 22:16 |
| latino31 | :) | 22:16 |
| latino31 | ago | 22:16 |
| latino31 | it would be nice to have a warning | 22:16 |
| latino31 | how do you specify using python3.6 specefically | 22:17 |
| ikonia | you don't | 22:17 |
| nacc | latino31: just install python3.6 and then run `python3.6` ? | 22:17 |
| ikonia | use the version that ships with ubuntu | 22:17 |
| nacc | latino31: uh, you were given a warning, it removed a bunch of stuff | 22:17 |
| latino31 | ikonia there is a program that uses python3.6...and python3.6 is in the repos | 22:18 |
| ikonia | latino31: what program depends on 3.6 specifically | 22:18 |
| latino31 | nacc well i mean why would someone want to remove a program that will crash ubuntu | 22:18 |
| latino31 | ikonia it uses 3.6 syntax | 22:18 |
| latino31 | its not going to run in 3.5 | 22:18 |
| latino31 | i already talked to the creagtor | 22:19 |
| latino31 | creator | 22:19 |
| ikonia | latino31: what application depends on 3.6 | 22:19 |
| nacc | latino31: you are root, when you add/remove packages, you can do anything you want to your system | 22:19 |
| latino31 | ikonia, it uses syntax specefic to 3.6...your asking useless questions ..as i said before the creator told me this and it runs for him in 3.5... | 22:20 |
| nacc | latino31: as root, it is presumed you know what you are doing | 22:20 |
| latino31 | in 3.6 i mean | 22:20 |
| Batin | bye | 22:20 |
| ikonia | latino31: yes, you said that "what is the name/website of the application" | 22:20 |
| nacc | latino31: then install python3.6 (don't remove python3.5) and invoke python3.6 explicility | 22:20 |
| latino31 | nacc i thought i tried that i can try again | 22:20 |
| nacc | latino31: well, if you removed python3.5 and haven't put it back yet, do that first | 22:21 |
| nacc | latino31: and replace all the packages you removed too | 22:21 |
| latino31 | naac that worked ...i thought i had tried but i guess i did not | 22:21 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, <Bashing-om> chalcedony: Above my knowledge are all these " /timeshift/snapshots/ " . Seems though that most of the packages are still installed . let's see what ' sudo apt install --reinstall libroffice ' does for us . | 22:21 |

| chalcedony | E: Unable to locate package libroffice | 22:21 |
| latino31 | naac i did not remove it this time but i saw again how many packages it wanted to remove to i cancelled it | 22:21 |
| nacc | chalcedony: libreoffice | 22:21 |
| nacc | latino31: "nacc" not nacc. Use tab-complete to avoid that | 22:22 |
| latino31 | python3.6 works thanks | 22:22 |
| nacc | latino31: err, "nacc" not naac, I meant | 22:22 |
| chalcedony | nacc, ha yes i just saw that.. trying again :) | 22:23 |
| chalcedony | nacc, Bashing-om its doing it :) | 22:24 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Sorry .. typo . correct to be ' sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice ' :( | 22:24 |

| kostkon | nacc, yeap | 22:34 |
| Bashing-om | nacc: "snap" is going to be a trial determining what is installed from where .. I do think . | 22:35 |
| nacc | Bashing-om: yeah, i have defaulted to looking at rmadiso, but didn't think of the snap case -- will write a local wrapper :) | 22:35 |
| Bashing-om | nacc: Better man than I ! | 22:36 |
| * nacc wonders if we should teach the bot about that | 22:37 | |
| dax | about what | 22:37 |
| nacc | as the same snap can be installed in 14.04+ now (aiui) | 22:37 |
| nacc | dax: we have !info <pkgname> <relesae> | 22:37 |
| dax | oh, snap versions | 22:37 |
| nacc | dax: but it misses the snaps of a similar/same name | 22:37 |

| sshhelp | hey guys, struggling with SSH keys - I setup a server with a key I generated in putty, but I'm struggling to share that key with other servers, or alternatively generate a new key on a different server and allow that on the original one. | 22:44 |
| sshhelp | I feel like this shouldn't be difficult, but I'm obviously missing something | 22:44 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/3mF3aKwr | 22:44 |
| chalcedony | (sources.list.d) | 22:44 |
| sshhelp | how do you add authentication from an unapproved server to your server that only accepts its specific SSH key? I | 22:44 |
| sshhelp | ran ssh-copy-id from the Approved Server - Server 1 to the unapproved server 2, but that just allows me to connect that way, and I can't do the converse because authentication will fail with public key reject. | 22:45 |
| bekks | sshhelp: so ssh to server 2 and add the pubkey manually? | 22:47 |
| sshhelp | Thanks Bekks | 22:47 |
| sshhelp | Do I cat it to the bottom of hte authorised hosts file? | 22:48 |
| sshhelp | *append it | 22:48 |
| ikonia | authorized_key file | 22:48 |
| ikonia | not host | 22:48 |
| ikonia | hosts is for host based authentication | 22:48 |
| sshhelp | yes thank you, wrong word | 22:48 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Surprise surprise, libreoffice is not there ! . what about 'cat -n /etc/apt/sources.list" . any show for libreoffice there ? | 22:49 |
| sshhelp | straight in! Thank you both. | 22:50 |
| BAlan | quick question: in order to run a full version of Ubuntu that will remember settings, install and keep apps, and boot and run it from a USB thumb drive, do I use the HD... version, or the LiveCD version, or does it matter ? I want to have a FULL Stand-Alone instance of Ubuntu that I can Carry with me and boot on any machine I'm at.. | 22:51 |
| sshhelp | So I'm trying to understand how to do this at scale. Do you have to manually copy to the authorised_key file every time? So run ssh-keygen, then manually copy each time? Wanting to do this on many servers, so a manual process seems excessive. | 22:52 |
| ikonia | sshhelp: you can share a public key | 22:52 |
| ikonia | you don't need a new one for each host | 22:52 |
| bekks | sshhelp: you dont copy the authorized_keys file, you copy the specific public key. | 22:52 |

| nacc | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence | 22:54 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, i believe that 'autoremove' was very effective. we downloaded the new ones from the LibreOffice webpage. | 22:55 |
| nacc | i think the latter is more current | 22:55 |
| sshhelp | Thanks vimes - I had used that, but that copied from Server 1 to Server 2 quite happily, but not the converse, because that one was missing the public key of server 2 in the authorised_key file, so it was rejecting the connection - the advice of @bekks and @ikonia clarified it for me. | 22:55 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: See : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice >>> Installing a newer version of LibreOffice than available via Ubuntu repositories . Then we want to KNOW that 5.2.6.2 is compatible with 16.04 . | 22:56 |
| sshhelp | Also is that a Pratchett reference? I really want to get a dog and call it Laddie... or perhaps Gaspode, depending on the dog. | 22:57 |

| === mitch is now known as Guest87067 | ||
| Guest87067 | I'm trying to dual boot win 10 with ubuntu 16.04, if I create a new partition in the ubuntu installer instead of in windows, will it mess up my old files? | 23:03 |
| Guest87067 | and my old os? | 23:04 |
| uboontoo | nope, you can do it :) | 23:08 |
| Guest87067 | so it should be fine? | 23:11 |
| Handorio | you can use ubuntu and win on the same hdd | 23:11 |
| Handorio | you win is safe | 23:11 |
| Handorio | and you can run it about the os loader | 23:12 |
| Handorio | *your win is safe | 23:12 |
| mach20x | Having issues with my graphics card after the update to the -72 kernel | 23:12 |
| tomreyn | Guest87067: this said, whenever you modify your partitions you should be sure you have current backups of all your data. | 23:13 |
| BAlan | additional question: Persistant Ubuntu on a USB stick... Already have the stick prepared, partitioned with 30gb main, 20gb data, and a 8+gb swap. Have access to UnetBootIn that has versions up to 10.04 Net/HD/Live (64), plus daily_live64 sources for install... | 23:13 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, i read it. so we should remove the LibreOffices and start over again? (downloading here takes ages and makes the internet close to unusable for anytning else) | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | or rather, that's something you should be sure about in general, as well as how you will restore them and how long it will take oyu. | 23:13 |
| BAlan | is it possible to select one of those, which would be best ?, and install that onto the stick via that utility ? | 23:14 |
| BAlan | then modify that install to persist ? | 23:15 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: If you mean Ubuntu 10.04, you'll want something later than that (16.04 probably). | 23:15 |
| BAlan | Can the 10.04 still be upgraded to newer after install with upgrade utility ? | 23:17 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: Honestly . If there are still libreoffice packages on the system; I would enable the PPA and try ' sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice-gtk2 libreoffice-gnome ' : http://tipsonubuntu.com/2016/08/03/libreoffice-5-2-released-how-to-install/ . | 23:17 |
| BAlan | too much of a jump ? | 23:18 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: Way too much. | 23:18 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: A clean install also keeps things nicer. | 23:18 |
| tomreyn | but yes, it's theoretically and practically possible | 23:19 |
| Bashing-om | BAlan: My 2 cents worth .. way too many changes ! from 10.04 to 16.94 .. and a LOT of bandwidth, time, and effort . Do a fresh clean install of 16.04 and in about 30 minutes done . | 23:20 |
| tomreyn | is it a good idea though? probably not | 23:20 |
| BAlan | if I d/l the 16.04 version, is there a specific install format, meaning NetInstall, etc that would be the best to use ? Or just the main full LTS version ? | 23:20 |
| BAlan | and then use unetbootin to burn the ISO to the stick ? | 23:20 |
| tomreyn | if bandwidth / data transfer is a concern, use mini.iso | 23:20 |
| tomreyn | !mini | 23:21 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 23:21 |
| BAlan | was that mini.iso comment for me ? | 23:21 |
| tomreyn | yes BAlan | 23:22 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: I'm not sure how to install it persistently on a USB key. | 23:22 |
| erialdo | hello, I did a stupid thing. I accidentaly renamed the files and folder on home directory all | 23:22 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: I've done it once through VirtualBox, but not directly yet. | 23:22 |
| erialdo | now caja shows all the home directory at once | 23:22 |
| erialdo | not only desktop | 23:22 |
| erialdo | what are the defualt folders of ubuntu mate | 23:22 |
| tomreyn | BAlan: what are you trying to do there again? having a single ubuntu installation on a bootable usb stick, which you can carry around with you and use with multiple computers? | 23:24 |
| BAlan | I'll go with the v16.04 iso, and see how it works... nacc gave me the urls for the persistant mods a few minutes ago, and I'll dive into those after install, but I'll prob be back.. Thanks All, please say a silent prayer... ;-) | 23:24 |
| BAlan | tom: yes... | 23:25 |
| ChaiTRex | BAlan: No problem. | 23:25 |
| BAlan | tomreyn: anything to add ? | 23:26 |
| erialdo | hello How to make caja to work correctly again | 23:26 |
| erialdo | coz i did a stupid shit | 23:26 |
| erialdo | I accidentaly renamed all files and folders in my home directory | 23:26 |
| erialdo | fortunately those with dot are the same as before | 23:27 |
| tomreyn | BAlan: okay then i'd download mini.iso, use virtualbox (or some other virtualization) to boot off the iso image, attach the usb stick to the VM (pass through) and select the usb drive as target disk for th einstallation in the VM. | 23:27 |
| tomreyn | BAlan: to me, that's the easiest approach. but if, for example, you'r enot into virtualization,t hen maybe that's not for you. | 23:28 |
| lollhosh | hi guys | 23:28 |
| lollhosh | fine? | 23:28 |
| BAlan | thanks tom.... | 23:28 |
| BAlan | good idea... | 23:28 |
| tomreyn | BAlan: personally i like this full installation (which is similar to Method 1 at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent) a lot more than the overlayed one (which is Method 0 on that guide) | 23:30 |
| tomreyn | it runs faster, is more flexible. | 23:31 |
| chalcedony | Bashing-om, do you know which PPAs he needs? | 23:31 |
| erialdo | @BAlan install virtualBox in a machine. Download the iso image from the ubuntu mate homepage. create a bootable usb using the program Rufus. now start virtualbox and create a virtual machine | 23:31 |
| erialdo | using the iso image | 23:31 |
| erialdo | if you want to install it in a pc use the bootable usb that you created with rufus | 23:32 |
| akik | erialdo: it would really help if you pastebin the output of "ls -l $HOME" | 23:33 |
| tomreyn | !paste | erialdo | 23:34 |
| ubottu | erialdo: 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. | 23:34 |
| Bashing-om | chalcedony: ' sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa ' seems most likely . | 23:34 |
| akik | erialdo: i don't think you broke anything, anyhow | 23:35 |
| erialdo | @akik yeah | 23:35 |
| erialdo | but it is really annoying | 23:35 |
| erialdo | because it shows all the folders | 23:35 |
| erialdo | on desktop | 23:35 |
| erialdo | not only desktop | 23:36 |
| erialdo | I don;t know if you understand me | 23:36 |
| erialdo | the main thing is that not the default folders (Documents, Downloads etc ) are called 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc | 23:37 |
| erialdo | I know I should have looked where i type the command | 23:37 |
| erialdo | you have the default folders of ubuntu mate there | 23:38 |
| akik | erialdo: i think you can see the default dirs in /etc/skel or after creating a new user account and logging in with it | 23:38 |
| erialdo | could you tell me the names | 23:38 |
| erialdo | ah ok | 23:38 |
| erialdo | let me check | 23:38 |
| erialdo | you know my main problem is with caja because it shows all the folders | 23:38 |
| erialdo | not only Desktop when I boot | 23:39 |
