[00:00] no i did not install those there [00:01] scratch that, I'm heading home.. I'll loop around to this later [00:02] @akik nah fuck it [00:02] I will keep as it is [00:02] later I will do a full format [00:03] npm install -g tiny-care-terminal [00:03] npm install -g git-standup [00:03] oops [00:03] Chrome has lots the ability to use sound [00:03] FF works [00:03] 'Kay, so I accidently dd-ed the first 500MiB of my backup harddrive. It was GPT and ntfs formatted. Is there any chance of recovering any files? [00:04] Was what I meant to say... [00:05] erialdo: it's really easy to test: "sudo useradd -m erialdo2" and "passwd erialdo2" [00:06] anyone use Archipel? I'm having a problem where its not connecting to my central agent, I'm using the latest nightlies but not quite sure whats wrong [00:07] hi [00:07] intricatus: I do not know about NTFS, but GPT partitioning has a backup partition one can move into place in a ext4 situation, maybe NTFS is the same ? [00:08] whar you talking about guys [00:08] @akik its empty the home folder of erialdo2 [00:09] erialdo: so you can't compare the old and new dirs? [00:09] i created with bash [00:09] so by default they are empty [00:09] erialdo: you need to login with erialdo2 [00:10] ah ok sory [00:10] got it [00:12] ericnoan: you can then see the original dir with "sudo su - erialdo" [00:13] hmm oh he left [00:13] hello! Any one remember the command to get the CLI locale confiugrer in ubuntu server? [00:13] what´s a matter with you boyyyyyyy [00:13] i dunno [00:14] vimes: ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales " ?? [00:14] thanks Bashing-om :) === jldugger is now known as turpedo [00:18] hi [00:18] helo [00:18] in suse I had this in fstab: 192.168.0.2:/ /mnt/server/ nfs4 defaults,noauto,comment=systemd.automount 0 0 [00:19] so systemd would automount nfs4 when accessed. now in ubuntu it won't work, I have to manually mount as root and then have no access [00:19] tomreyn, 200 DexterF [00:20] :) are you responding http on smtp? [00:21] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs [00:21] tomreyn, gah, blew the joke, dammit :D [00:23] DexterF: with nfs the access permissions come from the nfs server. maybe your user doesn't have access to /mnt/server/ ? [00:23] yes, autofs, could do, would prefer to stick to the systemd hack for elegance and simplicity. will see if I can figure it or go autofs [00:27] akik, oh, you could be right, I used to have this user ina group. I re-added and spawned a login shell, but "groups" still doesnt show it... so, side quest: how to have new groups take effect without a full logoff/logon? [00:27] DexterF: newgrp command [00:28] DexterF: looks like you need to use the fstab option of "x-systemd.automount" instead of "comment=systemd.automount" [00:28] that's according to http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/zesty/man5/systemd.mount.5.html [00:29] tomreyn, will check [00:39] akik, newgrp does not get me anywhere. I tried but it asks for a password, then is on about something with the hash salt [00:41] DexterF: can you see your username in /etc/group on the line that defines the new group? [00:41] hey [00:41] akik, yes, I manually edited it in there [00:42] better usermod? [00:43] WADAP NIGGAZ === anon is now known as Guest51865 [00:44] newgrp: failed to crypt password with previous salt: Invalid argument [00:44] I recently had a USB3 ehternet adapter start to act up. It would kill my connection and all other connections every few minutes. I am not sure which if any logs would be relevant [00:44] DexterF: i get that with newgrp test === Guest51865 is now known as sudolsnano [00:44] akik, that one [00:44] yo [00:44] I have a problem [00:45] who doesn't [00:45] DexterF: weird it has worked for me before [00:45] akik, I'll be extremely uncool now and logoff/logon [00:46] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shadow/+bug/1355111 [00:46] Launchpad bug 1355111 in shadow (Ubuntu) "newgrp fails with "crypt: Invalid argument"" [Undecided,Confirmed] [00:46] dexta: ther [00:46] I have a binary, and when I try to execute it via terminal, it just says bash: xgenem: No such file or directory [00:47] dexta: there's a comment that grpconv will fix it [00:47] Kindof weird, it definitely exists and it is +x and i have all appropriate access [00:47] heh again they leave [00:50] hi i am trying to install java on ubuntu and have gone off track [00:52] i created a directory and extracted the java but now need to get it on the path [00:53] sudo update-alternatives --set javaws /usr/local/java/jre1.7.0_45/bin/javaws gives an error 'no alternative for java" [00:55] well actually rel.7.8_131 but no cigar [00:57] I have an Ubuntu 16.04 install running LightDM. From the *login* screen I did Suspend, which worked, and it was able to wake up. But...it gave me a lock screen with just a "password" field. NOTE: I was not logged in. I tried the passwords of two users on the box (one admin, one not), and I couldn't get it to unlock. 1) What do I do here? 2) Why is it giving me a lock screen when there is no one logged in? [00:57] FYI: this is Lubuntu, if it matters. [00:57] All packages up-to-date. [00:59] akik, have access... of sorts... mounted dir has 775 perms and user is in group. says "op not permitted" nonetheless, *unless*: I have root ls the dirs first, after that, the user can access them, too [01:00] pedahzur, not disrespectful but did you try just hitting return [01:00] DexterF: the uids/gids need to match somehow on the client and the server [01:00] pedahzur : what happens when you press ctl + alt + F1 ? [01:03] Hey guys [01:05] How's everyone doing? [01:05] ubuntu support issue Shunk ? [01:05] Yeah [01:07] must have been a network issue [01:13] gemcat_: yup! :) [01:14] MWM: goes to virtual console 1. ctl-alt-f7 goes back to the lock screen. [01:14] can you login from the virtual console and then fix your lightdm settings? [01:17] trying to play runescape and this happens when it loads: https://i.imgur.com/HGMXt4F.png [01:18] MWM: Yes, I can login to VC 1...but what setting do I fix? How do I tell LightDM not to do a lock screen when sleeping at the login screen? [01:19] any ideas? [01:20] selsper: ist it started twice? [01:20] pedahzur: to be perfectly honest I am not sure . "startx" should start a desktop session for you and then you will be able to alter your settings to from there. [01:21] no, one of those is just the loading screen thingy [01:21] selsper: start it by hand from the terminal and see the error messages [01:21] thats a black screen - hard to help with that info ;) [01:21] how do i run something from the terminal [01:21] yeah man... no shit [01:22] pedahzur: Take care what DE you start with 'startx' . has but limited applications . [01:22] windows-key, type "terminal", in the terminal type "rune and press tab, if it do not ecpand to runescape but show it then type "runescape" [01:23] nite [01:23] So, therre is a light-locker-settings program. And it has a "Lock on suspend" setting. But it seems like you would want that when logged in...but NOT when noone is logged in. [01:23] MWM, Bashing-om ^^ [01:24] I could just disable lock-on-suspend, as I don't need it for this application, but it feels wrong. [01:24] ok i did that [01:25] !sysrq | pedahzur [01:25] pedahzur: In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [01:25] it just loaded with the same problem and no output in the r [01:25] terminal* [01:26] Bashing-om: Thanks. I can get to a terminal and reboot. It's just I need to make sure the system doesn't do a lock screen on the login screen. :) [01:27] pedahzur: Sorry. I do not know what to advise in that instance . [01:28] i really don't know what to do to try and trouble shoot thi [01:28] s [01:31] selsper: so you have an application that shows no messages on startup and fails? [01:32] something different: how can I install/preview/apply gtk3 themes in xfce without messing with gtk2? [01:32] Security and Privacy as well as Power Settings have entries for Suspend. 1st is to make sure you have those set as you like. Then there is the lightdm.conf.... but that is foreign territory for me [01:32] something like that [01:36] what is goin on?? [01:37] can someone help me with a wget command on terminal im using ubuntu but the site cannot function correctly when downloaded the functionality is broken because all the picutres dont download this is the site http://prod.grimm.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/exclusives/trailer/index.shtml [01:37] i use 'wget -r -k -e robots=off http://prod.grimm.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/exclusives/trailer/index.shtml' in terminal [01:38] and multiple sub pictures dont get downloaded [01:39] i also tryed 'wget -m -p -e robots=off http://prod.grimm.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/exclusives/trailer/index.shtml' with no luck same files didnt download [01:39] whatthwhy: when you try to wget the files directly - you get them?

A condom allows for inflation , halts production , destroys the next generation , protects a bunch of dicks , and gives you a sense of security while your actually being screwed . It just doesn't get more accurate than that [01:52] whatthwhy: could see that [01:52] mr_techie: you mean wget would follow a ? or not? [01:53] tonyt: how is that even remotely conenctet to ubuntu? [01:53] pd1: so it wont download the FILE the inserter files in the index [01:54] pd1: mind oyu i dont know much about wget but i did read a guide and im no expert at html either [01:54] pd1: so my bad for no using the correct term [01:55] tonyt, love it [01:56] hello all [01:58] i think never tried it :| [01:58] selsper: still fighting with runescape [01:58] ? [01:59] yes [01:59] i found a solution :) [01:59] wowe [01:59] mind a pm? [01:59] no [02:01] hello [02:12] can somebody help me check if graphics drivers are installed/ working? [02:12] i am using blender from the website, how do i get the terminal to know when i type blender i am referring to the one i downloaded? [02:13] i keep thinking its a graphics card issue, but maybe it's something else [02:14] I have a R9 380X in my system and after updating to -72 for 16.04 LTS two of the video ports are not working. [02:14] ZeloZelos: Add a symlink to ~/bin: mkdir ~/bin; ln -s /path/to/blender/you/want ~/bin/blender [02:14] ZeloZelos: Then restart terminal. [02:14] or how do i run "blender -r" in the terminal, it thinks im talking about blender from the repo and tells me i can install it [02:15] i see, thank you ChaiTRex [02:15] ZeloZelos: You're welcome.

[02:43] Grorco: sounds sketchy [02:44] Hey everyone! I borked my nvidia drivers. Anyone got a second to gimme a hand? I've already expended my google fu [02:45] Divo: any details ? [02:47] Hello. I have a very n00b question if someone can help me. Looking to create a service that will mount my drives. [02:48] omagash: No, 40_custom is default . If you are not comfortanle with moving /etc/grub.d/40_custom.save, you may remove the execute bit, Now as to what is going on in that file - only you presently can say - or why you made it up . [02:48] Ragter: what you want to achieve [02:49] [Unit] Description=Mount - Automated mounting of external hard drives [Service] ExecStart=mount /dev/sdb ~/external Type=simple User=server Group=server [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target [02:50] That was my service i was trying to run. To boil it down i want to perform "sudo mount /dev/sdb ~external" every time the machine serboots. [02:52] Bashing-om: I'll move 40_custom on any dir like /home/? [02:56] omagash: Yeah, -40_custom.save !! - that will work , anywhere that you are comfortable and know where to find in when the need arises . [02:57] Bashing-om: since I just discovered the mv command, I tried it out like this: sudo mv /etc/grub.d/40_custom /etc/grub.d/40_custom.save [02:58] then sudo update-grub works flawless, seems like it has to be named with .save extensiob [02:59] omagash: Well, grub reads ALL the fils in the grub.d directory. IF -40_custom.save does not serve a grub purpose it needs to be gone ! [03:00] Bashing-om: lol, thanks for the help btw [03:02] Ben64, I opened the sh file, it was a one line java command copy paste to terminal worked fine lol [03:02] omagash: Naw .. on the delete .. not yet ! ya want a 40_custom file. My default files : http://termbin.com/ul6s . [03:03] Is there anyway to see a list of services which are configured to start upon boot? [03:04] Bashing-om: English please (please elaborate), I'm new to linux [03:07] FuZi0n systemctl status [03:08] It'll show you every service and you'll have to hit enter to go through all the pages [03:08] omagash: .. What is your goal here - as a 'mv' command just renames a file . see ' man mv ' . you do not want a duplicated file in that directory . [03:09] Ragter: but these are just a list of all services not specifically the ones which run on boot... [03:10] My goal is to add Remix OS entry to grub via grub customizer but the program won't run [03:10] I misunderstood. Don't know the answer to that question.

I get nothing from the display at all [03:18] Bashing-om: ge [03:20] Bashing-om: hey, I did what you told me before, the mv the 40_custom to /home, did the grub-update, now it's working like defaults! Thanks, again :D [03:20] If it's possible to change back to the open source video drivers by changing xorg.conf or something I can do it from the USB version I have running [03:22] omagash: Good .. as to the reddit . in 'buntu there is a step left out - and there are cleaner ways to make a menu entry .

I'll report back. [03:39] np [03:39] :) [03:40] Snowie: or label it a feature! "finky rainbow shadows" or some like that. sorry for spamming...

[03:55] anyone familar with raid tool mdadm [03:55] *jdk* [03:55] *jdk*: command not found [03:56] looks like it isnt in this [03:57] has any body heard of ubunut 17.04 crashing a computer hardware and rebooing [03:57] i installed a 3TB 7200 rpm toshiba [03:57] with ubunut 17.04 [03:57] I add 5 drives and start using them, then I noticed it was not the right size. I put one wrong drive that was 1.5G and not 3T. So the raid 5 volume is only using 1.5 on all drives. How can I fix this with out destroying the raid volume? [03:57] crashes when i put a load on the drive [03:58] amicrawler: sounds like a hardware problem for sure [03:58] humm put my old drive in works fine [03:58] im on the same computer but with old drive in it [03:58] ok [03:58] hardware is a dell oplex 980 [03:59] the drive is a seagate 160GB [03:59] so that means its the not old drive causing the problem [03:59] 8MB ram on the drive [03:59] the new drive 3TB 64MB ram on the drive [04:00] they are booth 7200rpm [04:00] are the new driver not as good [04:01] the new drive was very warm [04:01] it probably is defective [04:01] when i took it out of the case [04:01] new ? [04:01] if it crashes on one drive and not another, with everything else being the same, it points to the drive as the culprit [04:02] yes the have a failer of 5% [04:04] chalcedony: I do not know if ya need openjdk-6-jre or openjdk-7-jre ( or other ). Others here will have to pick up my slack [04:05] i guess ill go get a seagate or a wd [04:05] http://openjdk.java.net/install/index.html [04:05] it will get jdk 8 and we'll see [04:09] what sata drives are good i'm used to scsi [04:09] 7200rpm and 10k drives [04:11] amicrawler: perhaps you are looking for the ##hardware channel? [04:11] is there for ubunut ? [04:12] Hi all [04:12] amicrawler: You're saying that when you installed Ubuntu on the new drive, it crashed, but when you installed it on the old drive, it didn't? [04:13] Are you sure your hardware is new enough to support 3 TB drives? [04:13] yes [04:13] yes its a i3 [04:13] 8GB ram [04:13] dell 980 === dea is now known as Guest24463 [04:13] Is the 3 TB drive old? [04:14] im using 3TB ext drive usb3 [04:14] Was the previous drive internal? [04:14] no new out of the box [04:15] amicrawler: 3TB drive best I recall must have GPT partitioning (??). [04:15] used what ubuntu installer used [04:15] whats your partition table amicrawler? [04:16] ext4 [04:16] amicrawler: how did it "crash" ? [04:16] and when/ [04:16] today [04:16] 5x's [04:16] no i mean during what phase of the installer [04:16] its recommend to use GPT for hard drives bigger than 2TBs [04:17] i was going to install back to 14.04.5 [04:17] crached 85% [04:17] crashed at 85% done from usb stick [04:17] that's about the part where grub is getting installed [04:18] did it say an error message? [04:18] nope [04:18] are you sure about your installation source? [04:18] amicrawler: Are there any BIOS settings pertaining to USB ports on that Dell Optiplex? [04:18] just reset the hole computer [04:18] yes [04:18] did you glimpse what it said in the installer befre it crashed? like 'installing ... or something' ? [04:18] at 1st the drive was setup as raid0 [04:19] then told the bios goto Legacy drive setup [04:20] what does that mean o.O [04:20] You mean, the SATA controller was set to RAID mode? [04:20] ubuntu did its normal setup [04:20] yes [04:20] Okay... but... this is an external drive... [04:20] nope [04:20] You said it was an "3TB ext drive usb3" [04:20] internal drive [04:20] Hi, I have mscorefonts downloaded and I forgot how to install it. It was a command like reconfigure? I'm not sure how to scroll up in hexchat to see. [04:21] how do you have an internal USB 3 drive [04:21] sorry i do have a 3TB ext drive as well [04:21] Guest24463: If that's an apt package, perhaps try dpkg-reconfigure ? [04:22] the install would goto grub mode [04:22] after boot [04:22] would not goto desktop [04:23] amicrawler: are you in the live usb right now? [04:23] then told the bios goto legacy mode for drive [04:23] no [04:23] im on my old drive [04:23] it works [04:23] Maybe something like that. [04:23] amicrawler: on ubuntu? [04:23] it is a 160GB [04:23] Guest24463: After you installed - and the installer went through all the "dialogues" - did you do the: sudo fc-cache -f -v [04:23] yes [04:23] 14.04 [04:23] amicrawler: is the other drive hooked up? [04:24] no [04:24] Might be worth plugging it in and looking at SMART stats [04:24] It's possible that it's the drive's fault, but it's also possible that there was some sort of unrelated issue [04:24] like ? [04:24] Also, I would use AHCI mode instead of any legacy SATA controller mode [04:24] * grantwu shrug [04:25] I've had the Ubuntu installer random crap out before [04:25] LIke? LIke the cable you're using to plug in the external with - like possibly rust/corrosion in the USB port itself...BIOS settings might not be right...heaps of strange things... [04:25] what does AHCI do? [04:26] YankDownUnder: It's not an external - as far as I can tell, amicrawler has both a 3TB external and a 3TB internal [04:26] usb3 card new [04:26] that is correct ! [04:26] AHCI is a newer standard that should provide a little more performance [04:27] he's got a 3TB external and a 160GB internal i think [04:27] no they've got a 3 TB external, a 3 TB internal, and a 160 GB internal, aiui [04:28] I'm not sure why they bothered mentioning the external [04:28] what a mess [04:28] no, download failed. [04:29] Guest24463: "Download failed" -> right, well, that's not a good thing...either which, here's a great "How to!" for the MS Core fonts => https://www.ostechnix.com/install-microsoft-windows-fonts-ubuntu-16-04/ [04:31] Yeah, I downloaded it manually and got it working before, but something messed up. [04:32] I was dumb and didn't bookmark the guide. [04:32] Guest24463: Downloaded it...right...and where is that file now? Is it a .DEB file, or is it something else? [04:33] looks like the biso supports up to 2TB [04:33] not 3 [04:34] sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer worked I think. thanks. [04:34] mbr supports up to 2,if you have a bigger storage, its better to use GPT [04:35] I am... surprised to hear that there is an Intel Core i3 platform that doesn't support GPT o.O [04:35] amicrawler: Have you checked to see if Dell has a BIOS update for that particular machine? (They often do) [04:35] https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1799877-dell-optiplex-980-support-for-booting-a-4-tb-gpt-drive [04:35] grantwu: Keyword: "Dell Optiplex" (not a super duper crash hot machine, and not a T.A.R.D.I.S., neither) [04:37] hrm... looks like you're out of luck...? [04:37] If you have the money to spare, you are probably happier with a small boot SSD anyways [04:37] did you see the page [04:40] Yes [04:40] It appears to indicate that your computer doesn't support booting from GPT [04:41] gpt? [04:41] Although... You could format it with an MBR and ignore the last 1TB [04:41] it all doesn't make sense [04:41] GPT = new partitioning table format [04:42] first of all mbr doesn't mean it can't support 3tb, it means it cant have larger than 2tb partitions [04:42] Oh, hrm [04:42] 2nd of all if he said the installer crashed at 85% and he rebooted and got grub, then it is able to boot the bootloader code [04:43] the installer after installing grub starts removing unneeded packages, so maybe it isn't reaching the desktop cause of something else (try nomodeset maybe?) [04:43] i did not reboot the computer reboot by its self [04:43] yeah, whatever [04:43] !nomodeset | amicrawler [04:43] amicrawler: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [04:44] yeah and i said "it's better to use GPT", yeah we know it supports more than 2TB [04:54] can someone reset my password if i have set the root password [04:55] heeelp. setting up ssh keys for digital ocean. but i dont understand the proper way to set up to pairs of keys. do i rename them or put them in seperate folders? show I create af config file? [04:58] codepoetn: The only way someone can reset your password is if you're logged in - and they can access the user/group control panel applet or a terminal...therefore, if the workstation is locked - unless someone already knows YOUR password, no...they can't reset your password. [04:58] thundeer: Doesn't "Digital Ocean" (whoever they are) provide documentation for setting up keys for the end users? [04:59] YankDownUnder, they have a guide for setting up one pair of keys, but not for several. I was wondering how you guys prefer to handle it. [05:01] Bashing-om, the java stopped the java error, but libreoffice --writer doesn't open a document, neither does clicking in the interface opened by typing libreoffice [05:01] I'd prefer to do it exactly the way the vendor directed me to do it. It costs money to write documentation and policies and procedures. [05:02] chull: Think'n .. seems we are missing a module . lemme see what I can come up with . [05:04] chull: ' dpkg -l libreoffice-writer ' ?? [05:04] ? [05:05] ?? [05:05] hi guys,I need some help on locale [05:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24431450/ [05:09] Bashing-om, you are marvelous :) [05:11] chalcedony: Simetines I just make a lucky guess :) [05:11] ayy [05:11] i just migrated to ubuntu :D [05:11] Bashing-om, pastebinning [05:11] but i got wifi problems again [05:11] HAELP MEH [05:11] Lamp: Please don't "yell". [05:12] Lamp: paste your log or your screenshot,please [05:12] Bashing-om, https://pastebin.com/hvwUmeCT [05:13] i got the driver working and can connect to my network, but cant connect to the internet [05:13] cant resolve any hostnames i think [05:13] Lamp: That is going to be DNS related. [05:14] Lamp: Check the gateway and DNS for that connection. [05:14] chalcedony: So, install it .. ' sudo apt install --reinstall libreoffice-writer ' . [05:15] screenshot http://imgur.com/ERRMZg6 ; on all other systems with mac os (including this computer) it works fine [05:16] Bashing-om, getting it [05:16] Lamp: There is no IPv4 for this adapter. Is the network ONLY IPv6? [05:17] no, in mac os everything works fine; just connect and it sets up everything [05:17] any webdevelopers present? [05:17] Im having problem using mpi_send() [05:18] Lamp: I shall ask the question again. Is the network ONLY IPv6 - is your router set up for ONLY IPv6 and no IPv4? Whether or not it works with the Macs is not the issue. [05:18] no; IPv4 is enabled [05:19] Bashing-om, got it.. looking now [05:19] other computers have an IPv4 address [05:20] Lamp: Right. So, apparently THIS machine does NOT have an IPv4 address. Your choice is then to either GIVE it a static IP address with the proper gateway and DNS, or allow it to get one via DHCP. Hmm? Easy peasey. [05:20] Lamp: try set ipv4 address manually [05:22] Lamp: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-manual.html === PanicAtTheKernel is now known as jq [05:24] is there some ubuntu specific website related to security where one can see what fresh vulnerability related that affect ubuntu are found and patch them as fast as possible ? or its better to just read some known security websites because they would have that information ahead of any other secondary security related websites ? [05:25] Bashing-om, [05:25] it still doesn't seem to be opening a document with libreoffice --writer, or clicking on writer or it says documents we can see don't exist. [05:26] ok ima see if it works [05:26] thereyougo: https://www.ubuntu.com/usn/ [05:27] chalcedony: Beats me ., we got any hints when opened from terminal ? [05:27] thanks [05:28] YAY it works [05:29] Lamp_: Good. You're buying the donuts. Preferably donut shaped donuts. [05:30] Bashing-om, that's the weird part, nothing at all [05:30] it looks like it should be working, no errors [05:30] i'm wondering why the dhcp didn't set itself up like it always has on other machines [05:31] usually it'd take care of everything [05:31] but whatever as long as it works [05:31] and doesn't disconnect because i have servers to host D: [05:31] thanks irc [05:32] hello, I would appreciate if someone helped me diagnose why Ubuntu didn't take my correct password? log: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9df760be03752a54d7bca05b6adb3977 [05:33] Ben64: how about this resource https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security ? [05:33] chalcedony: well,, we can remove it and see what we get when re-installing libre-writer ?? [05:34] any help appreciated :) [05:37] is anyone here? :/ [05:39] I was here 2 days ago, nobody answers [05:39] Bashing-om, remove writer? [05:39] thatlizdude, sure there are people here [05:40] thatlizdude: lots of them, but if no one answers it seems to be a difficult problem [05:40] the first thing i see is: check pass; user unknown [05:44] chalcedony: Well for lack of a better thing to try . We did have " un libreoffice-wr " so surely can not hurt more to remove it and try a fresh install and see if there are any errors reported . Now those with familiarity with the app may know what config files to look at . [05:46] thatlizdude: Yep. Looked twiced through that log. "authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty= ruser= rhost= user=metheuser]" kinda says it all, I reckon. [05:46] pd1 yeah but the password is right [05:47] thatlizdude: :) [05:47] YankDownUnder can you tell me what was the problem then? [05:47] I'm sorry if I'm not understanding something simple [05:47] thatlizdude: Yes. Your username and password aren't copasetic. [05:48] thatlizdude: DOUBLE CHECK that the username and password ARE absolutely correct. Easy done. [05:48] i restarted, entered same pass, and it worked [05:48] the password was five 0's [05:48] how can I mess that up. [05:48] thatlizdude: Do NOT give out passwords on IRC or anywhere online, bro...bad form, that. === violet is now known as vi [05:49] thatlizdude: Heaps of things can "mess that up". [05:49] thatlizdude: Is this a "multiseat" setup? [05:49] it's the computer password, nothing cloud based, I'd never use a simple password if I'd really need it protected [05:50] what do you mean multiseat === Bock is now known as Sauvin [05:50] thatlizdude: Ain't gonna argue semantics...it's just "not good". Either which, if you don't know what "multiseat" means, then it doesn't matter - it's not setup for multiseat... [05:51] is it about me sharing my pass? [05:51] if yes, sorry, now why couldn't I log on :( [05:51] thatlizdude: BACK TO THE ISSUE AT HAND...you were having issues with your username/password...are you using "auto login" or are you logging in manually when you reboot or logoff or whatever...? [05:51] I needed access to terminal output, but I had to restart, so I don't have it [05:52] I got it setup so when I close laptop it won't do anything, the screen just goes off, then when open, it asks for the password [05:52] thatlizdude: If you hit CTRL+ALT+F1, you should be able to get to a terminal login (tty1) [05:53] this happened 2 days ago [05:53] thatlizdude: So it's gone into SLEEP or HIBERNATE mode. That *should* only require your password. [05:53] Bashing-om, we only tried with writer first. i don't know if other parts of it might work === Unline is now known as Shabah [05:53] YankDownUnder I tried to get into terminal login, it still didn't take the pass [05:54] I'll be right back, give me 5-10 === Shabah is now known as s === s is now known as Guest72998 === Guest72998 is now known as Z === Z is now known as Unline [06:01] chalcedony: The other parts : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibreOffice . dplg -l then all and see that all parts are installed . Best I can advise at this late time . [06:02] chalcedony: that be ' dpkg -l libreoffice-calc ' and alllll of them down . [06:04] Bashing-om, ok ty much :) [06:04] youve been at this all day [06:06] chalcedony: No more than you, I bet you are tirder than I :P [06:07] Bashing-om: What was the primary reason for the difference in LibreOffice packages? Kinda followed a bit, but then fell off... [06:08] YankDownUnder: repo, PPA and snap versions - OP wanted the PPA version - at the start libre office was uninstalled .. with lots of residuals ! [06:09] hello all, need a bit of help getting my ethernet port working [06:10] !details | skinnymg1 [06:10] skinnymg1: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information; for example, we might need errors, steps, relevant configuration files, Ubuntu version, and hardware information. Use a !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel. [06:10] Bashing-om: Ah. Hmm. Lovely. Thanks. Alleviates the mystery (not really, but my cup of care is nearly empty) :) [06:11] fresh install of 17.04, wlan0 is posting in lspci output, but no eth0 [06:12] hi [06:14] i am trying the last ubunto on old netebook, hp nx 7400 with BCM 4311 wifi chipset which is currently not seen, please could you anybody to point me at ultimate easy solution how to make it running? i had no success with ndiswrapper method, pretty thank you === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [06:17] YankDownUnder: Well my cup of sleep runneth over . goots to cease and desist . [06:18] chalcedony: ^ If ya do not get this fingered out, we pick this back up tomorrow . [06:20] chalcedony: At least now you know that all men break things. Even if they cannot be broken, a man will break it. [06:21] YankDownUnder ok I'm back [06:21] do you know what the issue could've been? [06:22] thatlizdude: I have absolutely NO idea because 1.) I'm not there 2.) I can only guess based on the data you give me and 3.) You gave me the incorrect username and password. [06:23] what do you mean you gave me the incorrect username and pass, what would you need it for? [06:24] thatlizdude: You're trying to login to The Answer Server. Incorrect username/password. Access denied. Give me a donut. [06:24] tell me what logs you need [06:24] thatlizdude: JOKING, bro....relax, mate... [06:25] I'll provide you the logs, just tell me [06:25] thatlizdude: One of the things I was wondering about is this: when the machine is "woken up" from sleep/hibernation, the keyboard is not registering properly - so when you're trying to enter in "0" it's actually entering in ")" or something similar - does that make sense? [06:25] I really wanna know what the issue was [06:25] yeah [06:25] so how would I fix that? [06:25] thatlizdude: I've seen that more than a few times...especially on IBM laptops... [06:26] thatlizdude: One of the resolutions that I have with a client of mine that HAS an IBM is to NOT put the machine to sleep. I have her simply save her stuff, and shut down. Ain't like it's hard to do, really. Not very convenient, but it works. [06:26] all right, problem partially solved, it's a laptop issue [06:26] so external keyboard? [06:26] hello [06:27] where can I get some help on logrotate [06:28] thatlizdude: No...not using an external - unless you prefer to use an external...it's all about the desktop/window manager not "remembering" the keyboard mapping when it's in sleep/hibernate. [06:29] but for so I fix it? [06:30] or wait, so it's Ubuntu, not the laptop? [06:32] thatlizdude: I told you the fix. Easy enough. When you're done, shut it down, or completely logoff. Simple. [06:32] but I need it to be running as a server [06:33] thatlizdude: Well, then again you've answered your own question, bro. Merely logoff. Simple! Yay! [06:34] if I log off, the terminal won't be running... [06:35] thatlizdude: Solution: On the console (tty1) -> do what you're going to do. Which is ungodly simple. Hit CTRL-ALT-F1 -> login -> run what you need to run -> while that's doing it's thing, hit CTRL-ALT-F7 and you're back at the graphical login. Hmm? [06:36] so basically without using the GUI? [06:36] question https://gist.github.com/argentum47/2bdcdc4fa52d308841a694105de24cc5 so whenever I run the logroate command .. it says using /bin/gzip on error.log file .. but it actually doesn't create any gz file . I am not sure what the error is [06:36] I mean that would be kind of a limitation [06:37] ? [06:37] I don't know if it's my English... [06:37] so the issue is keyboard mapping, which is caused by incompatibility [06:38] I tried ttyl1 before I believe, didn't seem to work for login [06:38] thatlizdude: What is the limitation of running your program(s) from tty1 so that it's not going to interfere with your GUI login? (and vice versa) [06:39] thatlizdude: If you CANNOT login to tty1, then either your username or password is incorrect. Simply put. Very simply put. [06:39] YankDownUnder but I'd still need to login, right? [06:39] okay [06:39] and if I can login in ttyl1, can I then switch to GUI? [06:39] thatlizdude: What is the "program" that you have to have running? Have you looked into running the "program(s)" automatically and in the background? [06:40] It's a terminal running a .jar file [06:40] Discord bot [06:40] since I don't wanna pay for hosting, I'll do it myself [06:40] thatlizdude: So running it from tty1 is not an option? [06:40] I never tried [06:41] thatlizdude: Well now you have a NEW thing to try! Yay! [06:41] but if I login in tty1 can I switch to graphical? [06:41] well here we go, I tried tty1 and it says login incorrect [06:42] thatlizdude: You can login to tty1 AND login on tty7...easy done. [06:42] O I WAS DOING IT WRONG [06:42] I didn't type in user xD [06:42] but still, before it didn't work on graphical [06:43] thatlizdude: Since you found you were making a mistake at the tty1 login, you might want to rethink whether or not you MAY have been making a mistake on the GUI login...hmm... [06:43] "Ain't no meat in these here hot dogs, ya know" [06:44] I'm pretty sure the password was right on graphical, it's just entering password [06:44] what could have I messed up === anon is now known as Guest7350 [06:45] thatlizdude: P.E.B.C.A.K. error...look it up...Google is your friend. :) [06:45] ok so even if I'll be able to get to the tty1, I still won't get to graphical. [06:46] thatlizdude: Is there a reason you HAVE to have a graphical login? Does the .jar create a GUI of some sorts, or output to a GUI? I only know and can judge by what you tell me. [06:46] no, but what if it happens under different circumstances [06:47] thatlizdude: What exactly IS the .jar you HAVE to run - so that you can "be your own server" - please, by all means, enlighten me... [06:47] well don't work about it, let's say it was my issue.. [06:48] I told you it's just a Discord bot [06:48] I don't wanna pay for hosting [06:49] thatlizdude: Ok...let's pretend as if I do not know what that is...it's *only* a bot? ONLY a bot? Then it can run happily from a tty1 login whilst you do what you wish to do in a graphical environment...easy done...easy peasey. [06:49] oh and let me ask the geeks here: do you cover your webcams? [06:49] you're right YankDownUnder , thank you very much for taking the time [06:49] I cover mine with pr0n. [06:49] to explain [06:50] aight :D [06:51] thanks again, I'm going [06:58] Hello all...Im running Ubuntu 16.04LTS and when I go to the Ubuntu crop circle I get None of my apps, is there a way to refresh this area? And yes I've tried all different Category selections? [06:59] nope I'm still here [07:00] StumpDumb: "Ubuntu crop circle"? Hmm...most people end up using Synaptic for package management...it just works...without issue...hmm...has your system been updated lately? [07:01] I am planning to create a router using Ubuntu. Should I just copy/past the firewall rules from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Router/Firewall ?? [07:05] Forgot my password, can I reset it? [07:05] newbie123: you _read_ that link and use the information to write firewall rules that are appropriate your use-case. [07:06] !password | skinnymg1 [07:06] skinnymg1: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal. Sudo doesn't ask for your password? It remembers you for several minutes. Please use strong passwords, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StrongPasswords [07:08] is there a channel for arch? [07:08] !alis | rikital [07:08] rikital: Alis is an IRC service to help you find channels. For help on using it, see "/msg Alis help list" or ask in #freenode. Example usage: "/msg Alis list http" [07:08] From the desktop, the top of the quick launch bar is an Ubuntu wheel, when U click it U can search for an app. file ....etc. I have Nothing listed here. [07:09] does anyone have experience with running ubuntu on a rk3066 device? [07:13] ducasse, If just do #sudo ufw default deny && sudo ufw enable .....Will it be enough ? [07:15] newbie123: if you have no idea how to set up a firewall you might want to start with something a bit more preconfigured for that. if you really want to do it yourself you need to do some serious reading. [07:17] ducasse, I will be using Raspberry Pi ..Any suggestions ? [07:19] newbie123: an rpi is not well-suited as a router, so i suspect there isn't many ready-made things available. maybe openwrt/lede runs on it. [07:21] not enough throughput in a pi to make a good router [07:26] newbie123: there are plenty of low-cost devices out there that do make decent routers, but you will still need to do some reading. that is off-topic here, though. ars technica had some articles on building your own router a while back, try those. [07:27] ducasse, Okay === Max__ is now known as Guest5938 === Guest48511 is now known as MJ4ever === juergh is now known as Guest43314 [07:54] I fixed everything myself, thanks for the help [08:06] Ubuntu 16.04.2 ISO may be compromised the checksum from the torrent doesn`t match http://imgur.com/a/tO8h3 http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04.2/MD5SUMS [08:06] well where did you download it from [08:07] thats not an md5 [08:07] ooh thats true [08:08] thats most likely a sha1 without having counted the chars [08:08] or a sha256 === JanC is now known as Guest51396 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [08:11] sha256 [08:12] downloaded torrent from ubuntu servers [08:13] bf43cutter driver problems, should I do some type verbose output to get some help? [08:13] someone please could check the torrent sha256 [08:13] mint_: thats the sha256 of the iso? [08:14] mint_: with that name? ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [08:14] mint_: what's the exact size [08:15] pd1 the pic is the sha256 using mint's right-click option and it doesn't match the sha256 from release.ubuntu [08:16] i know [08:16] most be a conspiracy leaping liizards [08:16] you knwo what that "right clock" option calls? [08:18] what could cause the change of sha256? is it normal for a torrent client to corrupt the iso? [08:18] mint_: it probably didn't finish downloading [08:19] it did [08:19] well, your hash result says otherwise [08:20] ? [08:20] does the iso work? [08:20] mint_: as Ben64 asked, what is the exact size? [08:20] if it finished, since torrents check as they go, it would be the right hashsum [08:20] I deleted it about 2 hours ago [08:21] So technically, I could have uploaded that ISO and covered my tracks - to have someone inadverently download it...(sarcasm) [08:21] of course, your os could be compromised, it is mint after all. or your drive could be bad, or other less likely things [08:21] wait 4 minutes i am downloading it... [08:21] i already downloaded it, it matches sums [08:21] then: thanks for seeding Ben64 :P [08:21] I downloaded the iso using windows but as far as I know the torrent is the same for any os [08:21] nah man, hit and run [08:22] mint_: to answer your question, nope it's fine [08:22] I'm still worried I'll go back to windows and download it there and check it again [08:22] k [08:22] I'm 100% sure the torrent was completed [08:23] bye [08:33] Hi, GRUB is disappeared when starting pc, how to reinstall it from a Live USB?? (UEFI) [08:34] maze_: Single boot system or dual boot? [08:34] YankDownUnder: dual boot with windows 10 [08:35] YankDownUnder: I booted from a Live USB to test some stuff and then at reboot GRUB wasn't there anymore [08:35] maze_: GRUB wasn't on the USB, or on the hdd? [08:35] maze_: the dual boot is UEFI too? [08:36] pd1: Yes, dual boot is UEFI [08:36] YankDownUnder: It's strange, because booting from USB live shouldn't mess up witht he GRUB into the HDD [08:36] YankDownUnder: But already happened 2 times that grub disappears after rebooting when I booted from a live USB [08:36] YankDownUnder: The first time I reinstalled linux and it fixed GRUB too [08:37] YankDownUnder: because I don't know how to restore GRUB [08:37] maze_: Not going to give my opinion on booting with Windows (insert your version here)...check the BIOS first... [08:37] YankDownUnder: The bios looks normal [08:37] YankDownUnder: Windows 10 [08:37] YankDownUnder: It has worked fine for 2 days in dual boot with GRUB [08:37] maze_: Check, then double check. Did you make any changes to BIOS to boot from the USB in the first place? [08:38] YankDownUnder: No, just plug the USB in and press F12 at start, then selecting USB to boot from the usb [08:38] YankDownUnder: F12 is the boot menu, not the bios itself [08:38] maze_: that can mess things up [08:38] YankDownUnder: But even in the bios it looks all the same [08:38] maze_: DOUBLE CHECK THE BIOS. TRIPLE CHECK even... [08:38] YankDownUnder: I already did [08:38] "Looks the same" and IS the same are two different things. [08:39] the gpt partition is on top of the boot order? [08:39] YankDownUnder: I triple checked everything and the bios has the same settings [08:39] pd1: No, the first it Windows Boot Manager, the HDD, then CD, etc [08:39] pd1: It was the same even when the dual boot and GRUB worked fine [08:40] I need ice cream. And coffee. And an unloaded gun. [08:40] Windows boot manager does not sound like its grub [08:40] pd1: It's a UEFI system [08:40] pd1: I never saw GRUB neither LINUX in the bios boot list [08:40] ubuntu is on top of mine [08:40] pd1: I always see Windows Boot Manager, and it worked ifne [08:41] pd1: Is UEFI? [08:41] yes [08:41] pd1: do you have dual boot? [08:42] pd1: I think that since when installing Ubuntu I have to select the EFI partition to install GRUB, and the EFi partition is the one with Windows boot manager also, it wont shwo you Ubuntu on the list [08:42] pd1: anyway, do you know a way to reinstall grub from the usb live? [08:43] maze_: chroot into the ubuntu sys and run update-grub [08:43] pd1: or to repair it [08:43] pd1: I've read that this do not work in UEFI mode [08:43] pd1: are you sure? [08:43] maze_: no [08:44] maze_: first of all: backup your data [08:44] pd1: done already === juergh is now known as Guest19398 [08:46] I see many guide on google, but I don't understand which one works with UEFI and which not [08:46] There is a program repair-boot, but seems it doesnt work on uefi as my understanding [08:46] maze_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair perhaps this thing can help? [08:46] maze_: smae idea here but it only says: do not burn it to a dvd... [08:47] In another guide of Boot-Repair it says that if it doesn't work is probably because you got a UEFI system... [08:47] pd1: damn [08:47] pd1: Looks like Im forced to reinstall the whole thing for the third time [08:48] pd1: and then I can't even boot from a USB because it would mess up again [08:48] pd1: There should be a way to repair GRUB from the live USB without having to reinstall the whole Ubuntu [08:48] maze_: dd the whole disk somehwere before running from usb [08:49] pd1: qhat is dd? [08:49] the ubuntu install is 10 minutes. that should not be a problem [08:49] !info dd | maze_ [08:49] maze_: Package dd does not exist in zesty [08:49] there is no apckage... bla... [08:49] maze_: uefi boot cd uses grub. You can use "configfile" to boot your real installation using the live cd [08:49] maze_: once you're in the real installation, just run grub-install [08:50] alkisg: Could you explan? I'm not following you [08:50] maze_: that is, you start with the live cd, you press "c" in grub to get a console, and then run configfile /path/to/your/grub.cfg [08:50] Hi, vulkaninfo keeps crashing on my debian install with /build/vulkan-kX_g0b/vulkan-1.0.39.0+dfsg1/demos/vulkaninfo.c:1485: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. I have a haswell-ULT GPU [08:50] How do I debug/resolve this? [08:50] maze_: then you see your "real" grub, and boot your system normally [08:51] alkisg: I have aLive USB, not Cd, is the same? [08:51] maze_: does it show a grub menu? [08:51] alkisg: Yes, the live does when booting from USB [08:51] maze_: then it's the same, yes [08:51] alkisg: It is the HDD with the dual boot that do not show GRUB at start [08:52] alkisg: I'm not sure I'm understanding [08:52] maze_: example menu: http://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Ubuntu-Grub-Menu.png [08:52] alkisg: I run the USB live and at the start press C in grub, ge a console, type that command [08:52] maze_: when your usb stick starts, does it show that menu? [08:52] alkisg: and what should happen? [08:53] alkisg: Yes, the GRUB menu with "try Ubuntu"... [08:53] maze_: when you run that configfile command, you'll then see your normal grub menu, the one from the system [08:53] Can anyone help me please? Every time I try boot up my computer it instantly goes in the grub command line.. I can't boot into BIOS using f11 and del (those are buttons to go to bios) [08:53] maze_: so then you'll be able to boot your system as usual, from your main grub menu, not from the usb stick grub menu [08:53] alkisg: Ok at that point I should be able to log into my ubuntu installation [08:53] Right [08:53] alkisg: Then should I try to repair GRUB from there? [08:53] Yes [08:54] alkisg: How? [08:54] Either reinstall grub, or run grub-install [08:54] alkisg: (I know are stupid question but I'm new to linux) [08:54] alkisg: What command more precisely? [08:55] set root=(hd0,gpt1) => press tab there to see if it's hd0 or hd1, and gpt1 or other number [08:55] Then configfile /efi/boot/ubuntu/grub.cfg => press tab there to see the exact path for grub.cfg [08:55] Those 2 commands should be enough to show you your real grub menu [08:55] ...from where you'll boot ubuntu normally [08:56] Is there any way to boot to bios from the grub commandline? [08:56] alkisg: again the configfile command when Im already in my Ubuntu logged? [08:56] Linuxmeister: is it uefi, or legacy bios? [08:56] maze_: no, that's a grub command [08:56] Uefi [08:56] Linuxmeister: the command is "fwsetup" [08:57] alkisg: I try, and then I come back here, hopefully from my ubuntu install [08:57] Thank you very much. Been trying for two hours to figure how to boot into it [08:57] alkisg: Thank You for your help [08:57] np [08:58] Linuxmeister: normally, ubuntu does have an entry for that in grub menu [08:58] (the display name for it, is "System setup") [08:59] I know but I somehow screwed up my entire hard drive and it just boots into the grub cli straight away [09:00] Linuxmeister, Del key should let you boot to bios [09:01] I tried that but no matter what button I press for bios it would go straight into the cli anyway [09:02] Just curiosity people. Now that unity will be dropped, what DE will replace it? [09:04] allenriath: gnome [09:06] Linuxmeister: smash f12, f2, del,inser, print, pause, end,esc in general all f-keys directly after pressing the power button. one should bring you to the bios === skinnymg1_ is now known as skinnymg1 [09:09] hi seriously no memes I have a honest question [09:09] is ubuntu safer than linux mint [09:10] Is linux safer than linux? Whoa...that's a hard question to ask... [09:10] mintadmin: safer? [09:10] what do you call "safer"? [09:10] alkisg: Tried those commands in start console, nothing happened [09:11] "More resistent to S.T.D.'s and tax collectors?" [09:11] alkisg: It said something like hd0 gpt1 not found and restarted again PC [09:11] mintadmin: do a simple thing: install both, see how much space they use, the smaller one is considered safer because it has less things to attack. [09:13] Hi, vulkaninfo keeps crashing on my debian install with /build/vulkan-kX_g0b/vulkan-1.0.39.0+dfsg1/demos/vulkaninfo.c:1485: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED. I have a haswell-ULT GPU [09:13] How do I debug/resolve this? [09:13] there is a channel for Debian issues [09:13] amitprakash: thats a debian question - it will not be resolved here [09:13] #debian [09:13] pd1, what has vulkan to do with debian [09:14] mintadmin: You have to check the update cycles too. It's not as if you're asking about an Arch vs Debian stability. Mint and Ubuntu are somewhat alike. [09:14] pd1, fair enough.. if I change the repo to ubuntu, would that suffice? [09:14] amitprakash: you said 'on my debian system ...' [09:14] FreddyP, well, identical packaging sans the tree [09:14] amitprakash: no, but if i say: use this or that and you download a lenny package and i am 5 years in the future with the same package we will sit here alday long [09:14] i would disagree [09:15] ubuntu and debian are similar but not identical [09:15] Mint uses canonical for updates? [09:15] pd1, well, what would be the resolution on ubuntu? [09:16] or fine, let me swap this to a ubuntu box [09:16] also is there a f.lux equivalent for linux? (blue light reducer) [09:17] mintadmin, https://justgetflux.com/linux.html [09:17] thanks [09:17] Why use an equivalent when the original's available [09:17] mintadmin; nighttime mode in gnome 3 does the job [09:18] I started to wonder about ubuntu vs mint when I checked for dns/ip leak [09:18] and ipv6 was enabled [09:18] I tried to disable it on mint mate in the network option (the option is called "ignored) but it didn't work [09:18] amitprakash: its likely a driver issue or you have 2 rgapics installed or something like that. chaging the amchine will give you a different error i think [09:19] pd1, my first guess.. but no such issue :) [09:19] But as I said, let me change the base system to ubuntu [09:20] amitprakash: on the same machine? [09:22] which distro do you guys use [09:22] pd1, yeah.. [09:22] pd1, bootstrapping ubuntu [09:22] Archlinux [09:22] (other than templeos) [09:23] hey guys, just put Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on my old Dell Latitude E5520 [09:23] however, its heating up and fan blowing like a crazy motherfucker [09:23] is LXLE a decent/safe distro? [09:23] it never did this on Windows 7 [09:23] but if you're in doubt about distros, try to stick with ubuntu for a while. [09:23] im assuming somthings wrong [09:24] bleach: i had similar issues. Tried the pwmcontrol but the temp went to 79 even on 255(full speed) [09:24] *79C [09:24] mintadmin: https://distrowatch.com/ [09:24] Im on the amd site right now for the graphics drivers.. It says it has drivers for ubuntu 16.04 but I'm on 17.04 right now.. Does it really matter or not? [09:26] mintadmin: did you ever get it fixed? [09:26] no [09:26] I wanted to know how to set up manually the cpu speed but couldn't find [09:26] with the Asus control software I usually use 30~35%. [09:27] Is it possible to set manually the CPU fan speed to 150~200 and leave that way? [09:28] i think there is some wrong with my pulseaudio [09:28] or hexchat [09:29] when i open hexchat the audio on my computer seems to stop working [09:29] !info lm-sensors | mintadmin [09:29] mintadmin: lm-sensors (source: lm-sensors): utilities to read temperature/voltage/fan sensors. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.4.0-4 (zesty), package size 82 kB, installed size 366 kB [09:29] and i have noticed this only when hex is open [09:29] !info fancontrol | mintadmin [09:29] mintadmin: fancontrol (source: lm-sensors): utility to control the fan speed. In component universe, is extra. Version 1:3.4.0-4 (zesty), package size 20 kB, installed size 88 kB [09:29] OERIAS: Is it safe to assume you've checked all the settings in Hexchat as to sound/audio? [09:30] YankDownUnder: let me try [09:30] give me a minute [09:31] I'll try that again [09:31] I had to install another distro because everytime on boot the temp was 79C [09:32] YankDownUnder, so far the sound is working [09:33] lm-sensors you say [09:33] what is the difference between apt-get and apt ? [09:35] i guess an update from a few days ago broke pulse [09:35] pd1: oh, someone took over lm-sensors. good, seemed to be death last year [09:35] and now it seem to work [09:35] *to be dead [09:37] sudo fancontrol [09:37] Loading configuration from /etc/fancontrol ... [09:37] Error: Can't read configuration file [09:37] what can I do? [09:37] hi, can someone give me a quick into in what the *cloud* packjes in the server install are for? [09:38] packages [09:38] sudo sensors-detect [09:38] yay [09:38] already did this [09:38] after dozens of YES the fancontrol command don't work [09:39] Does it matter if I install the graphics drivers for 16.04 on 17.02? [09:40] Linuxmeister, most likely: yes. there will be a reason whyt they are for a specific release [09:41] so i guess ill be waiting forever for drivers right [09:42] i need help with trying to figure out the sensors thing [09:42] linuxmeister_: "Forever" implies infinity. No. Not that long. [09:43] Hello all! [09:43] well you never know with amd [09:45] linuxmeister_: When you dance with the devil, you have to throw away all expectations. That being said, the AMD drivers for 16.04 are quite solid. Then again, it's an LTS release. 17.04 is NOT an LTS release. 18.04 will be an LTS release...hmm? [09:46] YankDownUnder: Looks like 18.04 will be an interesting release! [09:46] Actually... maybe 17.10 will be interesting and then 18.04 will be boring... one of the two. [09:46] mattpalermo: When it comes, yes. "When" is not now, and currently, 16.04.2 is interesting enough, don't ya reckon? :) [09:47] true I guess, well if anything this stops me from opening steam so I can stop my gaming addiction and work on more important stuff [09:47] linuxmeister_: Why not go outside and connect with real human beings and look at the grass and trees and stuff? THAT is quite interesting... [09:48] but with a nice graphics driver he could render all these inside! [09:48] you can play hide too [09:48] Yes I hibernate in my room 24/7 with no lights on and havent made human contact since 1999 [09:48] :D [09:49] Found the following PWM controls: [09:49] hwmon3/pwm1 current value: 191 [09:49] can I lower this value? how? [09:49] so that's where my door leads me: outside [09:49] What I'm actually gunna do is animation though, so i dont have to come in contact with people from the outside [09:49] MonkeyDust: There are *cats* outside...and other critters... [09:50] can i do anything on the ubuntu side on the mouse lag i get when trunning it as a vm with hyper-v? [09:51] hi :) [09:52] pynki: You might want to check the settings of the VM...I get that in VirtualBox when the graphics mem is set high and the RAM for the VM is set high - heaps of lag...in some instances, I used "xset" to smooth things out, but that was a short term solution. [09:53] Hi! If I want to know when a 'package' is moving to the next stable version (e.g. Django is currently at LTS version 1.8, but new LTS version 1.11 recently came out). Where would I go to get that information? [09:54] Doow try launchpad [09:55] YankDownUnder, i will see. but 2gb should be enough ram for a ubuntu 16.04x desktop install? [09:55] you never come to that these days with all the machines having 8/16/32gb of ram :/ [09:55] pynki: IN a VM or running VM's? [09:55] in a vm [09:57] MonkeyDust: looks like the right place, thank you =) [09:57] pynki: For Ubu in a VM, my minimum is always 4gb for desktop, 2gb for server installs. I get away with the 2gb server VM's because I generally run two or three of them (dependent on the host's RAM)...but for the desktop? 4gb minimum (in VirtualBox) - and I also make sure that the graphics RAM does not go past 128mb...but that's HERE and on machines I dole out to clients. [09:58] hello. I'm on 17.04 trace-bpfcc tool from bpfcc-tools package needs to compile a kernel module to run, but it fails with "chdir(/lib/modules/4.10.0-19-generic/source): No such file or directory Failed to compile BPF module" I tried to istall linux-source package but there is still no such folder - can anyone help me - how should I create it? [09:59] YankDownUnder, ok. thanks for the advice. then ill og with minimal + fluxbox [10:00] pynki: Here's something to tell ya, too...when I'm creating desktop VM's, I generally will use something like Fluxbox or WindowMaker or XFce4...my preference is generally WindowMaker...but it'd be the same with Fluxbox...low on graphics usage...etc etc etc. [10:02] YankDownUnder, i have a proven to work for me fluxbox setup that i just scp over to the machines i have if i need a desktop. i think you have the same for your favourite dektop env [10:03] pynki: Spot on, bro, spot on. [10:04] YankDownUnder, is there any desktop thing that can pin windows at aspeficic location? [10:04] you seem to have seen a few... [10:04] pynki: For Fluxbox? Or for WindowMaker? [10:05] YankDownUnder, Fluxbox cannot do it, is there a tool? [10:06] YankDownUnder, it makes me crazy when i put my programs at a specific location on startup and then i move them by 2 pixel while rolling them up in flubbox. would like to make windows not moveable [10:07] pynki: Can't remember for Fluxbox...there used to be something for Blackbox...and I think Openbox, too...but that was yonks ago...I strive for WindowMaker now...so I can specify window positions in wmaker easily enough...have to dig into that, bro... === anon is now known as Guest67501 [10:09] hmm windowmaker.org don't load 1242345 javascripts...suspicious [10:11] pynki: Looking at the actual source code of the "windowmaker.org" page does not show ANY javascripts...hmm... [10:11] hello can you please tell me the date that ubuntu will be shipping with gnome? [10:12] Raceserve: Um...yes. [10:12] Never. KDE will win in the end! [10:13] I think Enlightenment DR18 will be the winner...IN the end... [10:14] in the end we will all use commandline interfaces [10:14] pynki: that's basically how it was back in 1992...hmm... [10:15] i mean: humanity needs to move forward [10:15] pynki: But what about beautiful images from the interweb... do we have to print them? [10:15] Move forward? Like we will *all* be running macOS on our iMacs and shiny Macbooks? Wow! ;) [10:16] matt8109, just gstream them into fbdevsink [10:16] well, mattpalermo i mean [10:16] !17.10 [10:16] Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful Aardvark) will be the 27th release of Ubuntu. It is due to be released in October 2017. Discussion in #ubuntu+1 [10:17] Raceserve: ^ 17.10 will be the first release to switch to gnome as default desktop environment [10:18] tA [10:18] Hiyas all [10:24] Let us start with a fresh minimal install of Ubuntu 14.04 / 15.04, we recommend a 32 bit install for servers with minimum 2 processing cores and RAM less than 4 GB as Java performance is significantly better on 32 bit systems with limited resources compared to 64 bit systems with RAM < = 4 GB. [10:24] can someone confrm that? === cigumo_ is now known as cigumo [10:26] pynki: Sounds 'bout spot on. [10:31] GRUB has disappeared from dual boot (UEFI boot), how to restore it from the Live USB? [10:34] andy565: Just to confirm, GRUB has totally been replaced by another bootloader? [10:36] in the end xmonad will win and every single ubuntu user will be happy writing configs files in haskell. [10:37] andy565: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [10:37] Oooo! Haskell! Yay! [10:38] xmonad: "In a normal WM, you spend half your time aligning and searching for windows. xmonad makes work easier, by automating this." [10:38] ¬¬ [10:38] Great.... https://xkcd.com/1319/ [10:39] I3 [10:39] no more words [10:39] period [10:39] . [10:40] Pissing myself over that one...(also, there's http://www.rocklyte.com/?q=node/7) === vi is now known as violet [10:44] and about this "next ubuntu DE", IMO kde deserves a chance. I'm testing KDE Neon right now, and it's simple and friendly as gnome never was. No hard times, 2 weaks already and no bugs on my machine. Everything working out of the box, without worries. [10:44] Hello [10:44] But KDE is slow on my machine [10:45] so is unity [10:45] allenraith: It seems to have improved alot since 16.10. [10:45] Yeah thats true I'm using cinnamon mostly [10:45] I never was a fan of kde... i'm NOT a kde fan [10:46] matt8109: It just starts windows when I turn my laptop ON [10:46] mattpalermo: it just starts windows when i turn my laptop on [10:46] I've used KDE once. I think you can never beat KDE when it comes to customization ^_^ [10:47] fozu: are you sure that guide works with UEFI boot? [10:47] andy565: Haha that is true. But I'm sure there's a toggle switch somewhere for that. I am just stoked that I can configure all my key bindings :) [10:47] KDE3 was a treat. Fast and customisable bigtime...but, well, things change, don't they? [10:47] Gnome 1.4.6 was also fast and great...again, same story..."Code Bloat!"... [10:47] By default I run a arch box with openbox or I3... I like to be minimalist, but I have to admit, KDE is a helluva solid choice if you want to be "user friendly" as ubuntu is. [10:48] and nowadays QT has a upper hand over GTK3 [10:49] I made a mistake of giving a KDE install to a client - the machine came back with literally HUNDREDS of widgets and notes on the desktop...WIPE! Ended up giving the Cinnamon...can't break that (much). [10:49] YankDownUnder: Good point [10:49] well... kde neon is clean, so kubuntu can also be this clean [10:50] andy565: hi andy, have you tried easybcd to configure linux bootloader and dualboot it alongside windows? [10:50] YankDownUnder: kde has a slightly steeper learning vurve , but the benefits are worth it [10:50] it remembered me a clean plasma install over arch... I can even calls it "fast" [10:50] curve even [10:51] To add to the GTK vs QT point. It seems crazy that GTK is so in love with C. A more modern language like C++ is surely supperiour in this domain. [10:51] BluesKaj: IF the end-user is savvy enough (and listens to instruction/tutoring/training)(big IF) [10:51] is there a real difference between allow-hotplug and auto for interfaces ? [10:52] Unline: no, I don't know that [10:52] Unline: I ll check on google [10:53] Unline: the fact is that windows boots normally, the problem is that grub isn't showing up anymore so I can't loginto ubuntu [10:53] YankDownUnder: been on kde for 12 yrs, I tried most of the other DEs , but I was ways drawn back to kde,. probly my MS windows background [10:53] well, I will never like a package management based on apt... but... aside it, kde neon suparsed my expectatives at a point that I would point it as a "unity successor". [10:53] "Please take a seat and have a cup of tea. I shall perform GOOGLE for you!" (end sarcasm) [10:55] BluesKaj: We all like our tea/coffee a special way, hmm...I keep going back to simple things...like WindowMaker...sometimes Enlightenment...sometimes even olvwm/mwm/twm/fvwm...it's still the same underlying system...just putting a different set of pearls on the same pig, aren't we? :) === jstein_ is now known as jstein [10:56] YankDownUnder: I agree with your analogy except for the pig reference ;-) [10:56] Poetry by YankDownUnder [10:57] Yay! People will buy me donuts! Yay! Donut shaped donuts made out of donut stuff! Yay! [10:57] Well, my pigs pearls have names: Openbox and I3 [10:58] but If i had to choose a DE over a WM... XFCE4 [10:58] * YankDownUnder wonders if CDE is still available for Ubuntu [10:58] it's not [10:58] Dang. [10:58] I don't think CDE has ever been ported to linux [10:59] the pig reference is the synthesis of his speach [10:59] speech* [10:59] xfce4 is light and by far the most customizable... [11:00] ikonia: It can be *built*...I might have done this at one point (when I was drunk) in the past...like in 05 or 07 or so...can't quite remember those days... [11:00] ikonia: i in the the fucking channel stupid lame :) [11:01] YankDownUnder: I'm not sure it can as it wasn't open, HP owned part of it [11:01] ikonia: https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/LinuxBuild/ [11:02] Reminds me of Sparc(tm) days...mmm... [11:02] YankDownUnder: looks like a re-write [11:03] Yeah - it's "OpenCDE" - either which...could be fun...(on my next holiday) [11:05] has anyone a clue why my if.up.d scripts are not running fine ? https://pastebin.com/DQAQPbFm [11:05] the files do exist [11:06] rizonz: Is the "eth0" plugged in/working? [11:06] YankDownUnder: yap [11:07] rizonz: RT card...and the lights are blinking nicely? If that's the case, I'd do a "cold boot" - see if that resolves it...otherwise, the kernel is apparently NOT seeing the card properly RTNETLINK (the driver) is not seeing the card... [11:08] YankDownUnder: it's a VM and I'm SSH-ed to it ;) [11:08] YankDownUnder: nope doesn't fix it [11:09] rizonz: Were there any changes made to the "virtual network interface" or "virtual network" for that VM? Are you running the VM with a linux host or a Windows host? [11:10] YankDownUnder: no just a freshg provisioned one [11:10] YankDownUnder: it's a KVM VM [11:11] rizonz: Obviously something has changed - either via an update/upgrade, or to the actual settings of the VM, or to the drivers supplied by the KVM...logically... [11:12] YankDownUnder: nope started fromt he beginning like htis [11:12] rizonz: No such file or directory could mean wrong shebang or some missing binary called in the script [11:12] # ifdown eth1 [11:12] ifdown: interface eth1 not configured [11:13] rizonz: pastebin z90-route-eth0 [11:13] "run-parts: failed to exec /etc/network/if-down.d/z90-route-eth0: No such file or directory" => That's kinda saying it ain't there... [11:14] it could also mean wrong shebang [11:14] blackflow: here, but the ip route should be route add net... https://pastebin.com/Xc3cxn1A [11:15] rizonz: try using full path to ip: /bin/ip [11:15] So it's showing it "failed to bring up lo" and "failed to bring up eth0" and "failed to bring up eth1" => obviously something ain't right. Something to consider ==> Have you run an fsck on the disk - just to be SURE? [11:15] blackflow: same issue [11:17] rizonz: and /bin/ip is installed, right? [11:17] you can run that line manually and it works fine? [11:17] blackflow: sure [11:18] blackflow: yes works perfectly [11:18] rizonz: and z90-route-eth0 and -eth1 are executable? [11:18] blackflow: also [11:19] -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 165 Apr 22 13:15 z90-route-eth0 [11:19] -rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 157 Apr 21 03:52 z90-route-eth1 [11:20] hrm... [11:20] indeed [11:21] rizonz: possibly stupid question: bash is installed? [11:21] blackflow: erm yes ? [11:21] heh [11:22] blackflow: it's so weird [11:26] hi [11:26] blackflow: I'm out ofoptions [11:29] rizonz: btw, when you remove those scripts, ifdown and ifup work without complaints? [11:29] blackflow: let me check [11:30] blackflow: same issue [11:30] rizonz: what do you mean same? No such file or directory for the scripts you removed? [11:31] blackflow: indeed [11:31] rizonz: are you running this through puppet or manually? [11:31] blackflow: manually atm [11:32] rizonz: did you reference those z90- anywhere else in the network config? [11:32] blackflow: not that I know [11:33] rizonz: so, then that's not possible. or you did not remove those files from /etc/network/if-down.d/ and if-up.d/ [11:34] blackflow: oh damn, didn't remove down :D [11:34] but I still get: [11:34] RTNETLINK answers: File exists [11:34] Failed to bring up eth0. [11:34] RTNETLINK answers: File exists [11:34] Failed to bring up eth1. [11:35] I am looking for a spellchecking tool on pdf files - is there any for linux ? [11:35] blackflow: but also with ifdown eth1 on the cli it says it's not configured [11:37] rizonz: which ubuntu is this btw? and please pastebin the interfaces file [11:37] blackflow: 16.04 [11:38] blackflow: https://pastebin.com/2SCxGqpy [11:38] rizonz: did you configure systemd/udev for the old interface naming scheme? [11:39] blackflow: it's installed with the netbios=0 and such options [11:39] iirc the default on 16.04 is the new naming scheme [11:39] blackflow: but can I check that ? [11:39] rizonz: dmesg | grep "renamed from eth0" [11:40] blackflow: don't get a thing [11:40] but ifconfig shows those names [11:40] eth0 and eth1 [11:40] ? [11:40] yes [11:41] rizonz: do you have any files in /etc/systemd/network/ ? [11:42] blackflow: nope [11:42] rizonz: do you have net.ifnames=0 on the kernel line in grub? [11:44] blackflow: erm has the path of grub changed 16.04 ? [11:45] rizonz: try cat /proc/cmdline [11:45] rizonz: no, the config file is still at /etc/default/grub [11:45] yap it's in, as I would assume as I checked that upfront BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-4.4.0-72-generic root=/dev/mapper/vg00-root ro biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0 quiet splash vt.handoff=7 [11:46] oh damn indeed /etc/default ;) [11:47] okay, so that explains why you have eth0 and eth1. as for the why it can't bring them up..... only one thing comes to mind: bad or missing firmware. which chipsets are those NICs? [11:47] Hi. Why is there no netstat utility in 17.04? [11:49] johnny_|_, no netstat command ? if so install it [11:49] Mathisen: ok i installed net-tools, thanks [11:51] blackflow: virtio [11:59] blackflow: so we are out of options ? [11:59] how can I change the native console resolution in 16.04? [11:59] hi [12:00] it is in text mode now [12:00] I have a virtual box running ubuntu 14.04 and I'm trying to connect to it using ssh, but it will not allow any user to login [12:00] apt-get install jenkins gives a 'Package' jenkins has no installation candidate [12:00] is this a known issue ? [12:00] this is 16.04 in a docker image on Windows 10 enterprise [12:00] ? [12:01] rizonz: sorry, don't know what else to try. [12:01] blackflow: me neither [12:01] star_prone, and you have openssh-server installed right ? [12:01] I have added AllowUsers vagrant to /etc/ssh/sshd_config, restarted ssh but it will still not allow connections [12:02] Mathisen: ^ [12:02] :) [12:02] Mavericks: jenkins package no longer exists [12:02] vagrant being the user I want to connect with [12:02] jjhi: i see [12:03] Mavericks: upstream provides an apt repository [12:03] star_prone, users you have in your VM should automaticly be alowed to connect [12:03] star_prone: whats the error message? [12:03] to be honest I'm still dazzled why would I have to manually add the user to the sshd_config; I never did that on my previous installations and all users had ssh access... or was it different? [12:04] tomreyn: ok [12:04] Mathisen: so my memory doesn't fail me I suppose [12:04] join #drupal-google [12:04] tomreyn: none. it will re-prompt me with the password login [12:05] tomreyn: jjhi: i get a ERROR: GDK_BACKEND does not match available displays issue [12:05] star_prone: and after three attempts, does it error out? [12:05] i checked xvfb is installed and tried jenkins none work [12:06] star_prone: you don't need to mess with the config to get ssh to work [12:07] tomrey: actually the error message comes after more than three attempts; nonetheless, the error is "Received disconnect from 192.168.0.106 port 22:2: Too many authentication failures" [12:08] Ben64: I suppose that would be the normal behaviour [12:08] check the auth.log for more information [12:10] sorry i have to go :/ [12:17] Would anyone know what it is that causes PlayOnLinux virtual shortcuts to appear as generic 4-leaf clovers rather than their usual custom appearance? This was working fine in 16.04/16.10 flavors, but all 17.04 flavors are giving me this tiny annoyance. [12:19] ikonia hahahah fuck you lame [12:22] ikonia to lames in one channel :) [12:23] StephenS, sorry to bother you, so on 14.04 vlc works ok with the strukturag ppa & install the gstreamer1.0-libde265 ? [12:23] ioria, I used to install vlc plugin [12:24] apt-get install vlc-plugin-libde265 [12:24] StephenS, ok, thanx [12:24] How can I make my mouse less sensitive? [12:24] how can I change the native console resolution in 16.04? [12:24] i mean it is text right now === RDH is now known as RdeH [12:27] mark76: see the xset man page, under the 'm' option [12:27] ikonia and lame fuck you :) [12:31] chears ikonia [12:31] hahahah [12:31] ikonia: wth did you do now ? :-) [12:32] is not good idea full bann list [12:40] ikonia amatior in bulgarian amariorcho stupid lame fuck you [12:40] I'm still confused with .profile and .bashrc. I was under the impression that the best practice was to set your ENV vars in .profile because it is loaded once at login, and all the rest in .bashrc because .bashrc is executed everytime you open a GNOME-terminal window. This doesn't seem to be the case though, any variable I export in my .profile is not set when I open a GNOME-terminal. I read that sourcing [12:40] .profile from .bashrc is bad practice so what am I supposed to do? Put everything in .bashrc and delete .profile altogether? Duplicate everything between .profile and .bashrc? Something else? [12:41] hfp: .profile is only sourced in login shells, so opening a terminal doesn't source it, unless you do "bash -l" when a new gui session starts it gets sourced though === jones_ is now known as Guest75941 [12:44] EriC^^: right, my understanding was that .profile was sourced once, at login, and so any variable exported in it would be available in every GNOME-terminal; but that doesn't seem to be the case. If I want my vars exported and PATH altered, it seems that I'd have to do it in .bashrc. So what is .profile good for, why shouldn't I source it from my .bashrc or delete it altogether if it won't export the variables [12:44] I need? [12:44] at login meaning a graphical login [12:45] hfp: export you mean you edit it, log out log back in, and still no changes? [12:46] how can I change the native console resolution in 16.04? [12:46] EriC^^: export I mean that I have `export MYVAR=foo`, log out, log back in, open a GNOME-terminal, `echo $MYVAR`, and the variable is unset as if I didn't export it at all in .profile [12:47] just to be clear, the export statement is in my .profile [12:48] jjhi: edit /etc/default/grub , GRUB_GFXMODE=somethingxsomething [12:48] jjhi: also add GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep [12:48] then save & exit and sudo update-grub [12:49] hfp: that's odd [12:49] are you sure it's in ~/.profile ? [12:49] hfp: type "cat ~/.profile | nc termbin.com 9999" [12:50] yes, I keep all my dotfiles in a repo, so I symlinked .profile and .bashrc to the files in my repo. If I manually source ~/.profile once the terminal is open, then all the vars are set. [12:50] http://termbin.com/qvsd [12:50] (cool trick, didn't know termbin) [12:51] ikonia and i not chat with oper abusers :) [12:53] hfp: so $PATH isn't being altered? [12:53] ikonia razbirah li me dobre glupako [12:53] bugarians on [12:53] hfp: try setting one variable at the start and one at the end [12:54] lol [12:56] ikonia dont fucks with east europeans lame [12:56] panimaesh [12:56] EriC^^: let me try [12:57] hfp: also run, strace -o /tmp/bashlog bash -l , then type "exit", then type cat /tmp/bashlog | nc termbin.com 9999 [12:58] msg nickserv identify radicals8 [12:58] is gfxpayload compatible with nvcidia? [12:58] jjhi: yeah it shouldn't make a difference [12:59] i think there's a command in grub to display every res it can make [12:59] jjhi: vbeinfo [12:59] jjhi: ah, that's to be run from the grub prompt, at boot time [13:01] ikonia psihopatcho [13:01] lamercho [13:01] desnqk [13:01] na maika ti [13:01] hi [13:01] samethings: still ban-evading? [13:02] some lame is a opers [13:02] hus now about wifi how me conekting to ubuntu? [13:03] ikonia tel [13:03] arunas: ubuntu stub server is a headache [13:04] Freddy acsplaining please [13:05] ikonia psyhopat [13:07] Hi, what tools can I use to break down the per instruction cost like this https://paste.wentropy.com/n9Zc.jpg ? [13:08] EriC^^: hmmm so it would seem logging out and back in isn't enough. You have to restart. Once I restarted, all the variables are set, including the one at the very top of the file and the one at the very bottom. Contrary to what I thought, it looks like .profile is sourced at startup, not at login? [13:09] hfp: nope for me it is at login [13:09] hfp: which dm are you using? [13:09] how me doing wifi in me pc ubuntu? [13:10] EriC^^: dm? [13:10] display manager, lightdm gdm etc [13:10] EriC^^: lightdm I think, whatever comes with 16.10 by default. [13:11] guys how me find me router information? [13:11] look at it [13:12] Ben64 ? [13:13] so natfing no help ok [13:13] arunas: you need to ask a question [13:13] how? [13:13] arunas: people can't help without a question [13:14] Whats todays topic? [13:14] arunas: what do you need help with [13:14] paul_: same as every day, ubuntu support [13:14] OK [13:14] ikonia me need conecting wich wifi [13:14] i dont now how :( [13:14] bye. [13:14] arunas: you need help connecting to wifi ? [13:14] EriC^^: I just tried again, logging out, and back in, after adding yet a new var in .profile and it exported it correctly. I don't know why it didn't work before but it seems to behave as expected now [13:15] i put in the resolution and "keep" without quotes but doesn'r seem to woek [13:15] help connecting to wifi? [13:15] jjhi: did you run sudo update-grub ? [13:15] yes, i see it in grub.cfg [13:15] arunas: ok, so try this sort of question "I'm running ubuntu $version, I'm trying to connect to a wifi network with $model wifi card, but it's giving me this error/problem, can anyone help please" [13:15] jjhi: what's the resolution you want? [13:15] arunas: have you read the guide here https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-connect.html [13:16] yas ikonia [13:16] 1024*768*32 [13:16] EriC^^: Thanks for your help, and for showing me the termbin trick, that'll come in handy [13:16] hfp: no problem [13:17] ok and how me find information about me router? [13:17] arnunas : most routers have web UK you access via its ip addres e.g. http://192.168.1.1 [13:18] a WebUI* [13:18] jjhi: if you put "vga=792" next to quiet splash in /etc/default/grub it will give you 1024x768x24 [13:18] me need acsample like dis nombers wilog:56:454:59(45:23:2434:) [13:18] jjhi: try vbeinfo in grub it might give more info and maybe the x32 one === lethu_ is now known as lethu [13:19] now that's weird [13:19] grub console is high resolution [13:20] yeah it changes grub and keep is so it passes it to the kernel [13:20] linix is not [13:20] oh [13:21] whn i switch consoles they are 800*600 [13:24] ok need delet dis ubuntu stoped sistem [13:25] arunas: your call [13:25] arunas: try a livecd next time [13:25] i think he's the guy evading bans [13:26] how is he living in the uk without knowing how to speak english [13:26] eric im from lithuania [13:26] ok === undead_ is now known as undead [13:27] and ikonia [13:28] this is so weird, my interfaces are names ethX and ifdown doesn't work on it [13:28] meh [13:33] can we predict what names interfaces get on the new interface naming scheme ? [13:33] like ens3 and so on ? === dexter_ is now known as DexterF [13:33] rizonz: i hope so, its called "predictable interface naming" or something iirc [13:33] hi [13:33] EriC^^: yes but for VM's it's a wilder guess then ethX [13:35] rizonz: does ip a , five a enp0s name for eth0 ? [13:35] give [13:35] strangest problem: installed 16.04 fresh, kept an exisitng /home on that SSD. have / and /home, swap, nothing else. configured everthing to my liking, today boot the machine and did a time warp: every change to /home is lost. I am bereft of any clue what happened. [13:37] BluesKaj: nope, just eth0 [13:38] DexterF: did you set the moutpoint in the partitioning phase for /home without formatting [13:38] all changes on root, i.e. all in etc, installed programs and so on are there, only home is affected. [13:38] rizonz: not a VM expert [13:38] BluesKaj: it's not because of a VM [13:38] BluesKaj, yes, I set up sda3 as mountpoint /home and "do not format" [13:38] rizonz: for virtio it's ensX, I mostly see ens3 [13:39] rizonz: this explains the naming scheme, see comments: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/udev/udev-builtin-net_id.c#L20 [13:39] blackflow: true but didn't I set that during my installer already I don't wnas ens ? [13:39] *want [13:39] rizonz: while it's very hard to predict exact name, once established it won't change unless you physically change the bus/location of the interface [13:39] rizonz: if you remove that net.ifnames=0 kernel line, it will default to new systemd scheme [13:39] blackflow: true but for a VM you never know what the bus is [13:40] if provisioned [13:40] so ethX is easier [13:40] BluesKaj, I am a massive idiot [13:40] DexterF: /dev/sda3 ? [13:40] I suppose so, that's the part what I meant about hard to predict [13:40] rizonz: ^^ [13:40] blackflow: :) [13:40] DexterF: thought sda3 would be your swap [13:41] rizonz: the "predictable" refers to "once defined, based on bus, it remains the same" [13:41] BluesKaj, I cloned the ssd as a backup, I THINK it just mounted the usb3 attached clone backup uuid from yesterday, or I have been writing to the backup all day... checking... [13:42] BluesKaj, augh, it mounted the backup home... brb... [13:44] BluesKaj, it mounted the backup :D [13:45] I *have* to remember geenrating new uuids when cloning disks [13:45] EriC^^: FWIW, I was exporting $NVM_DIR but was echoing $NVM_HOME, hence why it was the inly variable that was getting set, ever. I guess I'm tired, or an idiot, or both. As usual, the computer is right and the user is wrong. [13:48] something completely different: how do I acquire additional gtk3 themes and preview/apply them? there used to be gtk-theme-switch, but that goes for gtk2 alone it seems [13:50] DexterF: which DE ? [13:52] BluesKaj, xfce [13:53] DexterF: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B === Spontex is now known as Guest69797 [13:53] gnome-look is the traditional place to get themes from === derp is now known as Aefra [14:00] Hi [14:02] Is there a shortcut to show all workspaces (clearly if you have the multiple workspaces option enabled) as if we clicked in the icon on the docker to do it? [14:04] ikonia [14:04] ikonia [14:04] ? [14:04] what's happening ? [14:04] rizonz: just an idiot [14:04] ikonia [14:04] ignore it [14:04] hi [14:05] hello [14:05] ikonia: how do you know for sure it's the same one ?

[14:10] afer login, I keep looking at a "inlock keyring" prompt, seems to be gnome keyring. I don't remember ever setting one, how can I reset it? I actually would use it [14:10] hfp^: you must have done something intolerable [14:11] No, check your history... Someone said ikoni and it made someone else +o -o, I said "ikonia" as well to see if it would make that person +o -o as well, and got autobanned... Didn't mean any harm and didn't expect that at all [14:11] s/ikoni/ikonia [14:12] Hi, can I burn blue ray dvd with Brasero?

[14:20] sup yo [14:21] dawid: 1880 people are here [14:21] whats'up? [14:21] opps I see now [14:21] just me trying to get back into the ubuntu linux thing. [14:21] its been a year. [14:22] i am now learning how to use ubuntu [14:22] ive installed ubuntu instead of win10 [14:22] it serves its purpose. [14:22] i have a dual boot now, cant game or dev on ubuntu as easily as on win. [14:22] but i play minecraft on ubuntu [14:22] how you finding it so far? [14:23] !steam | kille [14:23] kille: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [14:23] im now working on running lol on ubuntu [14:23] ok, let me rephrase that, opensource gaming is not where it should be. :) [14:23] but bugsplat occurs [14:23] anyone know how to run lol on ubuntu? [14:23] you can run dota2 as well. easily, quite impressively. [14:23] kille: some nice non-opensource titles on steam available on linux. [14:24] blackflow: strue, but they dont have visual studio. [14:24] not sure about lol, [14:24] I was also quite pleasantly surprised when I played Wolfenstein New Order in wine with zero glitches. [14:25] if anyone here knows anything about that, Id be interested as well. [14:25] linux has its place, as does win. i like both. i just dont see the point of emulation when it isnt necessary. [14:26] it's not emulation :) [14:26] wine. WINdows Emulator. [14:26] no. WINE = WINE Is Not an Emulator [14:26] hardware virtualization i get it, but still. [14:26] kille, Wine Is Not an Emulator [14:26] lol [14:26] here we go [14:26] recursive acronym :) [14:26] omg. youre right [14:26] apologise. [14:27] hey like i said, both have their place. [14:27] kille: what does visual studio have to do with anything? o.O [14:27] kille, it is an re-implementation of the Windows APIs, so it does not emulate a running windows core but offers the programs interface to native implementations on linux [14:28] i code in windows for a living. did not know that, just made myself seem stupid here. [14:28] thanks for setting me straight. like i said, it's been a while. === dawid is now known as dannyxn [14:28] i have a question [14:28] ah, I pitty you lol [14:28] Windows C++ land is kinda ugh... [14:28] is ubuntu better than windows in python development? [14:28] for sure [14:29] Python runs a lot slower on Windows [14:29] i code in C# though, specifically specialising in back end, so microservices etc. [14:29] c# is soo gly [14:29] ugly [14:29] kille, which is both its glory and its achilles heel all in one, but that's a long story... nah, that's ok, we spread what we know here to those who like to learn a new thing or two [14:29] dannyxn: as a person who teaches python, yes. [14:29] kille: oh that's not so bad then, sorry I don't know where I got C++ from [14:29] but i can hit up a UWP app easily, winforms, asp.net etc. [14:30] !ot [14:30] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:30] is python still worth to learn more than java? [14:30] how do I tell the installer to setup whatever is needed to boot from efi? [14:30] hey don't hate windows, don't be a fanboi. there are pros and cons on both ends, personally i love ubuntu, but i grew up on windows. [14:30] dannyxn: depends what you want to do, it's just a tool [14:31] does linux support uefi yet? last i read there were some issues there. [14:31] I want to work in security industry [14:31] kille: yeah, perfectly fine [14:31] dannyxn: you will have an easier time finding java job, but you won't have as much fun. [14:31] using UEFI right now actually [14:32] cool. didnt know. ill go look it up. :) [14:32] yes using UEFI is right, yesterday I've checked it [14:32] anyhow, cheers for now guys, [14:32] kille, the problem really is uefi, not linux :) uefi is evil and broken by design [14:32] DexterF: I don't think it's inheritly bad, the signing causes some problems, but not needing to use logical volumes is nice [14:33] Dark_Arc: soo.. how did you do it? I am assuming/hoping I dont have to parted up my disk by hand. I would hope "well supported" means there is a script or something that will do it [14:33] guys, any good refers to nice books to learn intermediate python? [14:33] dannyxn: /j #python [14:33] I mean networking included etc. [14:34] dannyxn: look at the site(s) mentioned in the topic in #python [14:34] CarlFK: if you booted in UEFI, the installer itself should handle that as long as you have a UEFI partition (to my recollection) [14:34] Dark_Arc, well it *is* a mini OS with very low level hardware access that does not let you know how it ticks under the bonnet. it essentially violates the open src idea and is a key eyebrow raiser regarding how much I can trust my machine [14:34] DexterF: don't thing uefi is evil by design, but poorlly designed and clunky from a linux perspective [14:35] Dark_Arc: I only have 1 ext4 partition. that i am happy to blow away. sounds like I need to create the partition so that the installer will work with it? seems odd. [14:35] BluesKaj, ok, the shoddy design and how manufacturers handle it pose the real threats, true that. [14:35] DexterF: fair point [14:36] I remember bricked laptop just by installing linux. thinkpad 540, some samsungs. [14:36] CarlFK: the installer will take care of everything for you if you just let it. [14:37] CarlFK: just let it do automatic partitioning. [14:37] DexterF: TBH. I wiped uefi/gpt off my laptop back in 2013 when i bought it , wasn't about to use windows anyway [14:37] DexterF: really? that's crazy [14:37] ducasse: um.. the installer gave me 1 big partition. text mode install screens about partitioning https://veyepar.nextdayvideo.com/static/temp/d.html [14:38] are you sure you booted in UEFI mode? [14:38] Most bios will list (EUFI) next to the boot menu option [14:38] UEFI* [14:38] CarlFK: i suspect you might have booted in legacy mode [14:38] yup, sounds like it [14:38] does ubuntu mate 16.04 has lastest mate desktop?? [14:39] !latest | lucas-arg [14:39] lucas-arg: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [14:39] Dark_Arc, google uefi bricked thinkpad. [14:39] I am booting the pxe net install. which says efi, but #ipxe says "that is often a lie" so.. how do I tell? [14:39] DexterF: wow, I'd say that's more a bad on Lenovo thing than anything else [14:39] CarlFK: that doesn't support uefi afaik, but check in #ubuntu-server [14:40] BluesKaj, "wiped" uefi..? you mean you went legacy, not "alternative BIOS" I assume? [14:40] DexterF: did you try msdos table then partition to ext4 [14:40] BluesKaj, that's what I got here, actually. [14:41] nope DexterF used flashback BIOS mode and legacy [14:41] BluesKaj, on what laptop? [14:41] lenovo laptops at the time had that option [14:42] g500 [14:43] BluesKaj, been using lenovos for quite a while no but did not knwo that. is there a database on that? got a t530 here [14:44] DexterF: actually it's called BIOS Back Flash [14:46] How do I get unity working again (I lost my desktop)? I uninstall xubuntu-desktop and everything went south [14:46] but I can still login via GNOME (lcompiz) [14:46] I've since tried reinstalling xubuntu-desktop but nothing worked [14:46] the only thing I get is: the mouse pointer and an empty desktop Alt +Ctrl +T doesn't work. Nothing works unless I go through Alt +Ctrl +F1 etc and call it manually through DISPLAY=:0 [14:46] any suggestions? === armatorix_ is now known as Templatett === Templatett is now known as Armatorix_ [14:48] is the mouse pointer a black X? [14:48] yes [14:48] I have mouse pointer but nothing else [14:49] is xfce4-session running? [14:49] not using xfce4-session. I uninstalled it [14:50] should I install it? [14:52] wait so what DE you want [14:52] ubuntu-desktop [14:52] I have access to GNONE (compiz) [14:53] hosass: afaik unity is still default, so install ubuntu-desktop [14:53] I reinstalled compiz and lightdm [14:54] unity is still default [14:55] I purged it and installed it like a thousand times but nothing worked [14:55] hosass: 17.04? [14:56] nope 14.04 [14:56] why do I still have upstart? [14:57] so good we won't see unity again [14:58] hahaha [14:58] I still liked unity [14:58] hosass: https://askubuntu.com/questions/711991/how-to-completely-restore-default-desktop-environment-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-after [14:58] hosass, try sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop and reboot [14:58] if you open a terminal, and run "compiz --replace" from there, what happens? [14:58] @ioria I done that a thousand times [14:59] hosass, with the --reinstall flag ? [14:59] yes [14:59] I did some googling [15:00] hosass: read the url i posted above [15:00] ioria: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage [15:01] jjhi, yes [15:01] it doesn't affect anything on its removal [15:01] @BluesKaj I tried those suggestions before coming it didn't worked, thanks [15:01] jjhi, but installing, yes [15:01] what is tar.zst file ? [15:01] is it not extractable with tar [15:01] ? [15:01] hosass, how many DE do you have ?

[15:04] hi, I got an old hp laserjet that only works with foo2zjs, it fails to print some pages in some pdfs with some viewers... All kinda moon-phasy. Any ideas? Otherwise I'll need to spin up some windows XP :/ [15:05] @ioria ls /usr/share/xsessions gave me [15:05] gnome.desktop gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop [15:05] gnome-fallback.desktop ubuntu.desktop [15:06] hosass, what happens when you choose Ubuntu from the login screen ? [15:06] when I choose ubuntu . I insert my passwd [15:06] I just get only mouse and empty desktop [15:07] hosass, try the Guest Account [15:08] can't get into guest or any other account when I choose ubuntu DE [15:08] hosass, yes, you can [15:08] ok [15:08] let me try it again [15:10] ikonia [15:10] :) [15:10] {} [15:10] hello, i have an issue with my touchpad.. it seems that it was touched by water, and now its not correctly [15:10] any idea how to fix it? [15:13] Dro: tried fixing it ? [15:13] @oiria just an empty desktop and a mouse it all I get [15:13] Mavericks, I have no idea what should i do [15:13] Dro: i mean have you tried any ? [15:13] ok [15:13] normally there is no water inside.. [15:14] Mavericks, I tried shutting down the computer for x minutes ,and than it back to work normally [15:14] but after few minutes it back to the same problem [15:14] i tried to shut down again , but still not working after restart [15:14] open up the piece and let it dry for an hour or two [15:14] @oiria am I doing anything wrong? [15:15] Dro: if you have a hardware problem you should ask in ##hardware [15:15] that could fix it yes ##hardware [15:15] i though its a software problem maybe.. [15:15] because it worked than it stopped again [15:16] maybe ubuntu is configured to not detect it [15:17] Dro: if you got water in it and it stopped working, that is not a software problem. [15:20] hosass: are you checking the login for other desktops in the dropdown? [15:20] yes [15:20] I did checked [15:21] I can only into GNOME fallback (compiz) [15:21] even normal GNOME doesn't work [15:22] but I regular GNOME works via startx at F8 [15:23] ducasse, btw it partially work, (the right button for example) [15:23] @BluesKaj : it's anything I'm missing? [15:24] hosass, does your system support unityn ? [15:24] *unity [15:24] there is a drop down at the login page where yopu can choose installed desktop environments [15:24] hosass: ^ [15:24] yes it does support unity [15:25] hosass, are you in gnome-flashback session ?

[15:27] hosass, don't use it [15:28] hosass, there is lightdm for that [15:28] to staart my regular unity I had to export DISPLAY=:O [15:28] hosass, you don't need that [15:28] so how do I get in? [15:29] hosass, open a terminal and paste cat ~/.xsession-errors [15:29] every time without export DISPLAY=:0 I can't get into even gnome-terminal [15:29] ok [15:29] apt moo [15:31] @ioria the output was a lot so let me see if I can create a http://paste.ubuntu.com/ for it [15:31] hosass, cat ~/.xsession-errors | pastebinit will do [15:32] ok [15:33] @ioria : this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24434151/ [15:33] [15:33] thanks man [15:34] hosass, never seen such a log [15:35] hahahaha [15:35] okay [15:35] 'm in shitI [15:35] hahaha [15:35] you made sound scary [15:36] hosass, dpkg -l | grep compiz | pastebinit [15:36] Is there a shortcut to show all workspaces (as if I click on the icon in the docker to show all workspaces) [15:36] ?

[16:39] @ioria I've installed ubuntu-desktop and did a reboot [16:39] mrcuber, installing matlab in a live session will work but you have to have a persistant layer big enough [16:40] @ioria need I do any anything else?

Never mind, i will try with direct install now === lynn_ is now known as gryphon [17:05] hi, lightdm stopped starting automatically after a recent update, but I can start it manually. What could be a reason? Kubuntu 16.04 [17:06] Naktibalda: are you sure you want lightdm? aiui kubuntu uses sddm. [17:06] ducasse:Nope, there was a notif. 'Viber is installed', it *is* present under 'Internet', but it won't execute. Also, after the installation, there is no 'remove' but 'install' again, in Software Center.. [17:07] I upgraded from 14.04 and it worked for a few months [17:08] I only discovered that it isn't recommended to upgrade after I solved all upgrade issues :) [17:08] but I will try to switch to sddm [17:08] it isn't recommended to upgrade? [17:09] ducasse:was rebooting, in case you replied [17:09] bonsaitree: try running viber from a terminal, see if there are errors [17:09] @ioria done with the pp-purge but the second one gave me Could not find package list for PPA: http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate-dev/trusty-mate/ubuntu/ ppa [17:10] hosass, ppa:ubuntu-mate-dev/xenial-mate [17:11] ok [17:11] ducasse: with 'viber&' ?

[17:23] bonsaitree: because you made a mess of things by deleting the files. you will need to use dpkg to manually force the install. [17:25] ducasse: cd /... dpkg -i p_name.deb ? [17:25] hey, is current ubuntu 17.04 shipped with gnome? I understood that they already switched the environment, but there is still Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 existing [17:26] good bacon to all and to all some good bacon!

[19:43] hosass, try to comment that line and uncomment the line above removinf nomodeset and running sudo update-grub after [19:43] *below [19:44] @ioria ok I got you now [19:44] i have ubuntu 16.04 with xfce and sddm. 4 monitors on dual amd 7970's. 1.) i can't seem to get my monitors to set up properly. with xfce4-display-settings, I can get it to do [][][][] but not [][]/[][][] (like an upside down T) [19:46] according to my .xsession-error and a few other of the logs, i have HDMI-0, DVI-1, DVI-0, and DVI-1-1 [19:47] but xrandr sees DVI-0, DVI-1 and DVI-1-1 [19:47] @ioria you said I should also remove nomodeset?

[19:50] the only logging that I can find says that one of the monitors (DVI-1-1) can't support 1920x1200 (its native resolution) [19:50] in that configurator there is no option for 1920x1080 so that it can be the same logical resolution as the other 3 screens. [19:50] theToolman: you have 16.04? Could you please try and see if "play -n synth whitenoise gain -6" makes a sound (warning: Could be loud). Also it requires sox to be installed (apt install sox) [19:50] @ioria I don't think so either but let me reboot [19:50] but xrandr reports 1920x1080 as an acceptable mode for that display? [19:51] @apparaat, why do you wish me to check the sound? [19:51] yes please [19:51] hosass, try also the Guest Account [19:51] and i must also add that it's 16.04 server that i've built up into my own desktop [19:51] using that command [19:51] that shouldn't be an issue I think [19:52] i don't have play installed [19:52] apt install sox [19:52] but i need to ask, for a display issue, why are you looking for sound? [19:53] no it's just to see if more people have the same issue as me [19:53] lol [19:53] whats the issue that you're having? [19:53] yeah, Linux and audio, always great for some laughs :p [19:53] https://bpaste.net/show/6f4aa3e1d441 [19:53] i can get it to work from my server installs about 70% of the time [19:53] behringer has that best success as a sound device for me [19:54] the machine i'm on right now i'm sure only has these hdmi monitors for sound [19:54] 18:10 Cunning Coatimundi [19:54] I mean 18:04 [19:54] Sorted [19:54] and it's the default sound card here -_- [19:55] does anyone know if there's a way to query the displays outside of xrandr? [19:59] @ioria didn't change anything had to use export DISPLAY=:0 get in to in the reset unity to get minimal functional UI [20:01] hosass, sy, never heard of that procedure [20:01] hi folks, I have still issues after sleep mode of ubuntu 16.04 [20:01] the system freezes every time [20:02] hosass, maybe here https://askubuntu.com/questions/476100/unity-and-the-tray-are-not-displayed-after-login [20:02] @ioria It's for suppressing login logo [20:03] hosass, oh, ok [20:03] @ioria Thanks for your time man. I think my system has gone south for the weekend, she prolly won't come back. But thanks for all your help. Let check the link [20:03] hosass, no problem , let me know if you can [20:03] hosass you can rop the @ ... simply type 2-3 characters of a name, then hit tab to autocomplete [20:04] dude. remove unity and install xfce [20:04] drop* [20:04] or plasma [20:06] MonkeyDust: thanks man [20:08] ioria: how does one buy you a drink to say thank you properly? [20:09] looks like you'll need to ask this another time, ioria just lest [20:12] No one using the digikam/mariadb/*buntu 17.04 here? [20:13] theToolman: so uh, does that play command work? [20:13] no i stick with lts [20:13] AppAraat: idk. not installing things on here that i don't need [20:13] AppAraat: i don't even have speakers [20:13] ah yeah you mentioned server [20:13] well its a hauss of a desktop [20:14] but i use my iphone and bluetooth speaker for sounds [20:14] though you can uninstall later but yeah your machine :p [20:14] i know a whole group of people who would do it though [20:14] if you have facebook, look for "experienced linux users" [20:14] theres a bunch of noobs who will openly run your command just to see what it does [20:15] lol [20:16] thinking about another graphics card to get these other 2 monitors running === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [20:27] hello, can someone here help me setup a home server with ubuntu? [20:27] or at least point me to up-to-date good tutorial? [20:28] thatlizdude: First, install Ubuntu :) [20:28] thatlizdude, "Home Server" is way too generic. Do you know the specifics? What do you want to do with that server? [20:28] bekks: done :) [20:29] I want to just move files from a computer to computer, like photos, documents, stuff like that [20:30] I am running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS [20:30] thatlizdude: Setup a network share then. [20:30] what would be a good way to do that? [20:31] one of the first things that popped up on Google was this: http://lifehacker.com/5919558/turn-an-old-computer-into-a-networked-backup-streaming-or-torrenting-machine-with-ubuntu [20:31] seemed like a nice tutorial, but outdated, pysdm package doesn't even exist anymore [20:31] Is it fair to say that 4gb memory is sufficient for a laptop that is mostly browsing the web (Using Chromium + Extensions) on ubuntu? Maybe some web dev, too.. [20:31] do you like that? [20:32] white_magic: nahhh you need 16gb minimum [20:32] holaaaaaaa [20:32] thatlizdude: samba shares files to both linux and windows machines [20:33] helloooooooooooooooooooooooooo [20:33] yeah samba [20:33] it needs to be multiplatform - Mac and Windows, the server being hosted on Ubuntu [20:33] or be like me and use nfs because fuck windwos [20:33] nginx with indexes enabled will give you a universal http download method [20:33] same with apache [20:33] or lighttpd [20:34] Wait, if I will use a home server just with computers on my network, will it eat my data? [20:34] only if it's pulling data from the outside world [20:34] What operating system do they use [20:34] Let's say 2 computers on same network [20:34] you can always put it behind a nat [20:34] They wanna share files, so they upload them to home server [20:35] Then one takes it from home server [20:35] does that eat my data? [20:35] theToolman: your sarcastic response hints at 4gb being sufficient then? [20:35] and make rules in your nat tables to not allow ingress or egress [20:35] yeah 4gb is fine [20:35] my gentoo laptop is 4gb and it runs great === mike_ is now known as selsper [20:36] so how could i setup my home server? [20:36] or just point me to some verified good guide :D [20:36] I am new to Ubuntu [20:36] how do i check ethernet port is working , or not? [20:36] because, it doesn't seem to be [20:36] :p [20:36] thatlizdude: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20Create%20a%20Network%20Share%20Via%20Samba%20Via%20CLI%20%28Command-line%20interface/Linux%20Terminal%29%20-%20Uncomplicated%2C%20Simple%20and%20Brief%20Way%21 [20:37] selsper: ifconfig -a [20:37] theToolman: would that work with Mac, too? [20:37] because it needs to [20:37] mac can connect to samba shares [20:37] in the finder, connect to server and then in the URI box just put your samba URI [20:38] Please ...you can help me for ubuntu ? [20:38] all right! [20:38] thank you [20:38] selsper: if you want to check for the actual device, lspci and lsusb are your friend [20:38] Fuck you [20:39] o [20:39] https://pastebin.com/kPqzNXpr [20:39] djfire: whats your question?

[20:40] rm -r [20:40] djfire: No help 'til the issue is stated :) [20:40] like set a max let's say to 200GB [20:40] ok [20:40] thatlizdude: you can set up quotas on the file system [20:40] from terminal can i connect to another pc ? [20:40] djfire: ssh [20:40] thank [20:41] djfire: telnet [20:41] djfire: if you need to know the open ports, nmap -A host [20:41] djfire: Many ways to connect to other PCs . depends on your requirements . === pete is now known as Guest62606 [20:42] selsper: what is the interface you're looking for? [20:42] i use backbox [20:42] djfire: not sure what backbox is [20:42] theToolman: on this step, i used my Ubuntu username: sudo smbpasswd -a [20:42] djfire: did you mean busybox? [20:42] that right? [20:43] i use backbox linux [20:43] !backbox | djfire [20:43] djfire: Backbox Linux is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu and is thus not supported in #ubuntu. Please use #backbox on irc.autistici.org or https://forum.backbox.org/ for help with it. [20:43] but i use too mint and ubuntu [20:43] djfire: man ssh [20:44] ok [20:44] thatlizdude: i haven't set up samba in ages but i remember something about anonymous login [20:44] @theToolman I am not sure m8, my wireless works, but I have an ethernet port that I do not think is working. SInce the internet only works with wireless [20:44] sera [20:44] come posso calcolare il mio ping ? [20:44] come posso calcolare il mio ip ? === andrea is now known as Guest88206 [20:44] ok [20:45] selsper: you mean enx001de13a87cd\ [20:45] ? [20:45] I guess so [20:46] can i from terminal connect to android ? [20:46] this is an old laptop I am trying to get working on linux, windows doesn't even work proplery [20:46] i mean, the hardwear spec are pretty damn good, but I jst keep finding problems :P [20:47] i've never had luck except once or twice with ubuntu networking [20:47] can i connect to windows/ mac os ? [20:47] on my gentoo box, it took a while but it works [20:47] All I really want to use it for, is to take to my girlfriends place to play runescape while she works [20:47] i stick to wired networks [20:47] me too [20:47] which is why the ethernet not working is an issue [20:48] cat /etc/network/interfaces [20:48] i am working on virtual machine [20:48] ok thank [20:48] djfire: good for you [20:48] djfire: i have over 600 active virtual machines [20:48] wow [20:48] maybe more [20:48] whats' that meant to do? [20:48] why arent the gui settings in ubuntu sound persistant [20:48] i have 2 virtual machine [20:49] selsper: so i can see what your interface settings looks like [20:49] hi [20:49] https://pastebin.com/yP7trqH9 [20:49] djfire: what are you trying to get into? [20:49] theToolman: I'm just getting WARNING: 'netbios name' is too long (max. 15 chars). [20:50] when i ran the "testparm" [20:50] is that ok? [20:50] ok...... [20:50] no [20:50] thatlizdude: whats your machines name? [20:50] thatlizdude: hostname [20:51] can i from terminal view the connection actives ? [20:51] xxxxxxxxxxx-ThinkPad-E520 [20:51] djfire: netstat -np [20:51] should i rename it or. [20:51] hey i used to have that thinkpad [20:51] highlight me in a bit toolman, i dnt wanna be steppin on ya toes [20:51] i also have an x230 [20:51] grazie...me o ricordavo [20:52] grazie...me lo ricordavo [20:52] theToolman: nice! but can i keep that name? [20:53] ? [20:53] theToolman: and i'm guessing it would be a good idea to setup static ip huh? :D [20:54] selsper: try this https://pastebin.com/THACc2VG [20:55] thatlizdude: you'll probably need to shorten it. don't forget to update the name in /etc/hosts [20:55] i'll try [20:55] https://pastebin.com/2bdtRhUj like so? [20:55] can you show me the command for linux terminal [20:55] ? [20:56] thatlizdude: you could use a static. i have the lease times on my dhcp server pretty long and the reservations block is pretty decent. you'll probably want to add the server to dns though [20:57] thatlizdude: all of my level 3 infrastructure is on an ubunt 16.04 box that runs dhcpd and named as well as some other things like nfs, cifs, sshfs, ntp, etc [20:57] its the only thing other than my DC that gets a static address [20:57] theToolman: so i did this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/87665/how-do-i-change-the-hostname-without-a-restart [20:57] thank [20:57] I'm stuck on this: sudo -H gedit /etc/hostname [20:57] djfire: what are you trying to in the terminal [20:57] nothing [20:58] thatlizdude: modify /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts and that should be pretty live [20:58] i try linux [20:58] thank [20:58] djfire: get out of here [20:58] theToolman: when i run it, it says "sudo: unable to resolve host tpad" [20:58] ok [20:58] tpad is the name i did when i executed "sudo hostname tpad" [20:58] thatlizdude: yeah, your hostname has to match in /etc/hosts [20:58] thatlizdude: is tpad the new name? [20:58] or sudo won't work [20:58] "tpad" has to be either in DNS or the /etc/hosts [20:58] yes it is [20:58] ok [20:59] as 127.0.0.1 [20:59] oh i need to restart :/ [20:59] just restart [20:59] when in doubt reboot [20:59] djfire https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal#Commands [20:59] Just restart the networking...you don't have to restart the machine... [20:59] thank aladeen [21:00] any amd driver experts out there? [21:00] djfire: learn bash not "the terminal" [21:00] zeeblefritz: i'm looking for the same thing you are. even #ati is dead [21:01] the tool man i don't understand you ! [21:01] do you guys think this laptop is well suited for ubuntu: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Probook-6470B-Notebook-Professional/dp/B06X92SJF8/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492894758&sr=1-3&keywords=hp+laptop+8gb+refurbished&refinements=p_36%3A-39900%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A562237011%7C610553011 ? [21:02] yes [21:02] it seems like a steal of a deal [21:02] djfire: the commands that you find for the terminal are mostly "bash" commands. they are also bins from /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin and everything else that is set in $PATH [21:02] @thetoolman [21:02] whats your issue? [21:02] been hoping to win a scratch card for a while to get something like that white_magic [21:02] white_magic: Does it have shared graphics RAM, or independent GPU? I'm not going to bother looking... [21:03] ohhhh [21:03] nice [21:03] well now "hostname" displays my old hostname after restart [21:03] wtf did i do [21:03] zeeblefritz: i have four monitors on dual 7970's but i can't get it to do the layout that i want which is like an upside down t. the only layout i can get to work ok is [][][][] [21:04] zeeblefritz: but even that wont be persistent in reboot [21:04] thetoolman: nvm I can't even get mine to work right. yours is way more complex [21:04] zeeblefritz: and xrandr isn't displaying all of my monitors though xfce4-display-settings is seeing them all [21:05] zeeblefritz: see what this gets ya https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver [21:05] theToolman: Have you tried using "arandr" to adjust the positioning of your layout? [21:05] is there option to change the interface names in ubuntu back to the old fashion linux ones -->eth0... ? :) [21:05] YankDownUnder: yeah and that only finds three of my 4 [21:06] YankDownUnder: and i tried modifying its shell file to account to what xfce4 config says all 4 displays are and then it tells me that 1920x1200 is not a supported mode (even though that is what its set to and its on. thats the fourth screens native resolution.) [21:06] theToolman: Are you sure that one of the "monitors" is not hidden behind another? I've had that happen before...it "appeared" as though there were three, but one was "hidden"...therefore, it was a matter of mucking about with "arandr" and making absolutely sure. [21:07] theToolman: yeah actually on that now. everything seemed to install but im getting black screen on boot and can get gui through recovery. [21:07] zeeblefritz: have you checked your journalctl for any errors? [21:07] getting errors, i give up [21:08] i just wanted a home server :'( [21:08] zeeblefritz: ctrl+alt+2 will take you to another tty where you can view that log [21:08] i been at this laptop for like 2 weeks now [21:08] barely anything done... [21:08] yeah took me about 2 weeks to get my gentoo hacktop up and running [21:08] but thats gentoo [21:08] theToolman i have no idea what that means [21:09] if you hit ctrl+alt+2 when it gives you that black screen, you can log in, and run journalctl and look through there to see if you see any errors that will point you in the right direction [21:09] thatlizdude: ' cat /etc/hosts ; cat /etc/hostname ' user_name same same in both files ? [21:09] at bootup [21:09] ? [21:10] zeeblefritz: no... when its supposed to be at the desktop [21:10] let it sit for a bit and then do it [21:10] hi everyone . i have one question . can i sync music from ubuntu 16.04 to iphone / ipad ? [21:10] what is the package fore xpdf on Ubuntu ? [21:11] Bashing-om: yeah [21:11] the old long one [21:11] shakom: Yes. You'll find quite a bit of info in the forums/wiki [21:12] i'm gonna go smoke [21:12] brb [21:12] rizonz: sudo apt-get install xpdf [21:12] theToolman: I dont have anything on my display [21:13] thanks a lot [21:13] any vpn experts here? [21:13] YankDownUnder: I see but what repo is it in ? [21:13] backports ? [21:13] rizonz: It appears to be in the "normal" repo. [21:13] my servers are in my 'wired' network settings - gui - is network manager? [21:13] YankDownUnder: mhh my repo doesn't show it [21:14] but vpn doesn't connect using app... did I explain this sufficiently? [21:14] rizonz: Check the settings for your repos. Then update. Then try again, eh? Easy peasey. [21:14] I have 17.04 installed and using Gnome [21:15] the error i get on boot can i copy that somehow here? [21:15] YankDownUnder: I use a local mirror and normally it works OK [21:15] its about 4 lines [21:15] some packages are not found [21:16] telling me invalid rom contents and ring test failed [21:16] rizonz: Then you would be looking at how your local repos are setup - and from there, add/update your local repos, hmm? [21:16] YankDownUnder: my local mirror itself shows the package [21:17] !paste | zeeblefritz [21:17] zeeblefritz: 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.

[21:20] bashing-om: thanks. [21:20] rizonz: Uncomment the "restricted" and the "partner" repos - update, and try again. [21:21] Geeze Amd used to work great on linux what happened? [21:21] zeeblefritz: May be not help much lots of times, but help where I can :) [21:21] YankDownUnder: restricted is uncommented ? [21:22] bashing-om: sounds about same here. [21:22] zeeblefritz: AMD got better with open source support and left the old old cards behind . [21:22] bashing-om is 280x "old"? [21:23] zeeblefritz: checking what driver . [21:23] rizonz: I hate repeating myself, really. [21:23] YankDownUnder: which line then ? [21:23] i showed support on the page for 200m down which i struggled with in 2005 [21:23] ok so i think i got it setup (hopefully) [21:23] the samba server [21:23] I hate to search when people seem to be able to point out the right direction [21:24] My new employer ordered a work laptop for me. It is a Dell Precision 3520 that has Ubuntu 16.04 preinstalled and Intel wifi. Is there anything that I should know about these in advance? [21:24] YankDownUnder: this repo list is setup by preseed [21:24] so it should contain all needed [21:24] rizonz: Ok. You're right. I'm wrong. Easy done. I'm going to eat breakfast. Peace. [21:25] rizonz: It is not scalable for people to constantly repeat themselves. [21:25] ryao-phone: he got a list with linenumbers [21:25] ryao-phone: 53 of them ;) [21:25] I just joined the channel, so I am not familiar with what you mean.

[21:26] it is enabled if you ask me [21:27] Then run apt-get update. [21:27] same issue [21:27] check line 21 [21:27] And I did not expect to be giving Ubuntu support...

[21:27] ryao-phone: sure it's up to date [21:28] why ? I need to provision 300 servers [21:28] Then I wouldn't know. I am a developer of a different distribution and I just wanted to ask here about the laptop work ordered for me. [21:28] bashing-om: what is pastebin syntax says installed but can't use [21:28] ryao-phone: ok [21:28] ryao-phone: weren't you always in this channel ? [21:29] rizonz: Good reason though. I'd check to see if your mirror has the package. [21:29] Not on my cell phone and not that I recall. [21:29] not on your cell indeed [21:29] Maybe you are thinking of rayo. There is a guy with that nick on the network. [21:29] which channel were you then ? [21:29] I know you [21:30] #zfsonlinux maybe [21:30] nope [21:30] No idea then. [21:30] couchbase ?

Now here's the rub, I do not know how the system deals with dual ( not hybrid !) graphic's cards ! { 01:00.0 VGA - 02:00.0 VGA } . [21:42] oh poop 1 gpu for me? [21:42] i really dont want to go back to windows [21:42] zeeblefritz: ^ radeon per https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/AMDGPU .

[21:43] zeeblefritz: Do not know as I have no experiemce with dual cards . [21:43] thatlizdude: you can either enable anonymous login for samba, or you can create the users, and add them to a group that is able to rwx your samba [21:43] bashing-om: understandable. thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I would have probably stayed away from gentoo pages honestly. [21:44] zeeblefritz: i'm using two gpu's [21:44] zeeblefritz: its a pain in the ass but it works [21:44] thetooman: oh yeah aren't yours native dual? [21:44] hello [21:44] zeeblefritz: With care - it is all linux under the hood . some have the better docs ! [21:44] zeeblefritz: i have dual cards [21:45] zeeblefritz: but thats not to say that i don't have a ton of issues [21:45] thetoolman: i just refreshed you have 7970 [21:45] yes [21:45] same as me [21:45] powercolor 7970s [21:45] 280x/7970 [21:45] zeeblefritz: what exactly are you trying to do? [21:46] thetoolman: completely abandon windows [21:46] i hate windows too [21:46] im sick of it changing all the time [21:46] YankDownUnder: found it, it defaults to 32 bits when you don't set 64 bits in your sources [21:46] but i have a command center [21:46] so i need a ton of monitors [21:46] lol [21:46] two monitors works great [21:46] its when you cross into the 3/4 threshold [21:46] word. I have 2 right now would like 3 again [21:46] i can configure it to run all four [21:46] but it wont do the layout i want [21:47] it might have something to do with one of the screens being bigger than the rest (1200 vs 1080) [21:47] but i can get them working if it is for in a row [21:47] four [21:47] can we preseed so we get arch=amd64 in our mirrorlist ? [21:47] i just cant do three in a row with one on top [21:47] too wide? [21:47] no its taller than the rest [21:48] ah i see your setup now [21:48] and its mounted next to another one that i just disabeld [21:48] that seems fairly standard [21:48] i used to have a 2 by 2 and that worked (i was running it with plasma but i don't like plasma so i'm back in xfce) [21:48] i say it worked, but the top right screen had a black desktop and none of the plasma widgets would go over [21:49] i just started the switch back. been 2 years without my main rig and decided to convert this more portable and everything is different again [21:49] the resolution is too high for me to use it and plus its' way aboove my eyeline so i figured this layout would be better [21:49] being that it had some weird thing on that monitor, i put my conkys over there (two from localhost and two from my firewall) [21:50] and thats what i plan to do with the upper monitor [21:50] so really the four in a row is fine for me, but its not persistent. i have to set it every time i boot [21:51] because it goes from [][][][] to [][] [][x] [21:51] I honestly thought by 2017 at least ubuntu would have plug and play graphics support for all the things [21:51] i know [21:51] nvidia works so much better [21:51] i used to fight with graphics in 2005 and thats why i never went full bore linux [21:51] but i'm not fretting, this has really made me dive deep into the whole X system trying to figure out the semantecs of why xrandr is only seeing 3 and not 4 monitors [21:52] used to have it working beautifully when i had nvidia [21:52] i have one windows machine and thats for the once or twic a year i play farcry [21:52] theToolman: where can i add the users? [21:52] everything else is either ubuntu, gentoo, cent, or netbsd [21:53] theToolman: and will it eat my data if i use the server just locally on my wifi? [21:53] thatlizdude: how savvy are you with the command line? [21:53] I'm learning the command line [21:53] thatlizdude: the only thing that will eat up bandwidth is external requests [21:53] but the basics are [21:53] So anything outside my network [21:54] useradd -m -d /home/ -s /bin/zsh [21:54] groupadd samba-login [21:54] usermod -a -G samba-login [21:55] chown -Rf samba:samba-login / [21:55] chmod -Rf g+w / [21:56] as i said, i haven't worked with samba for a whilwe [21:56] i know the mount commands on linux for it but thats about it [21:56] usually i set up samba on windows and mount it on linux [21:56] winscp is how i grab whatever file i need over ssh [21:57] theToolman: is that what i have to execute? :D [21:57] pretty much [21:57] i didn't test it or anything [21:57] you still have to configure your samba listeners and point them at the write folder [21:58] someone has solution to ethernet connection problems in 17.04? [21:58] hello, I am having a problem with Ubuntu budgie 17.04 on bootup, it takes a very long time, then an error shows very briefly before getting to the login screen. [21:58] lol i said write instead of write [21:58] !list [21:58] luca__: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [21:58] why aren't you using lts? [21:59] failed to activate swap /swapfile [21:59] solidpizza: that sounds bad [21:59] solidpizza: did you run out of ram? [21:59] theToolman, unlikely. [21:59] solidpizza: Google found this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/614463/swap-doesnt-seem-to-mount-after-update [22:00] theToolman: couldn't i just add a user to the text file where i configured the shared folder? [22:00] Hey guys, spent the last few hours trying to do what I imagine should be very easy. Remote desktop to an AWS Windows instance. I have done it a ton of times win -> win, and win -> linux, but never linux -> win and for the life of me I can't seem to make it work [22:00] somehow :D [22:00] solidpizza, didnt the latest ubuntu switch to swapfile rather then swap partation [22:02] gogeta, yes it is using swapfile, that's what the error message said too [22:02] well /etc/fstab is where that is configured [22:02] solidpizza: [22:03] solidpizza: With 17.04 a swap partition is no longer used by default ( if exist will be used ) Gone to a swap file . But, verify the UUID if swap is present - ' sudo blkid ; cat /etc/fstab ' . [22:04] thatlizdude: hey here is the manpage on that conf file for smb.conf [22:04] https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html [22:05] thatlizdude: look for the USERSHARES section [22:05] It seems that I have two swap entries. http://paste.ubuntu.com/24436484/ In Disks I noticed I also have a swap partition [22:06] do you have a swap disk or a swap partition or a swap file? [22:06] solidpizza: [22:07] theToolman, you misunderstood, the program is called "Disks" it's not a "swap disk" [22:07] i have a few machines that i use whole ssd's for swap disks [22:08] but just make sure you just have one and make sure its the right one [22:08] so, I'm trying to set up a miner [22:09] I'm following this guide https://www.nicehash.com/?p=software#amdgpu [22:09] I've installed the AMD drivers [22:09] maybe I'll try to remove the swapfile entry, and it should use my swap partition then [22:09] damn we're all having problems with amd today [22:09] as well as OpenCL [22:09] solidpizza: yes [22:10] amd sucks [22:10] ati sucks [22:10] nvidia intel :D [22:10] anyway I keep getting this error: Unable to load ATI ADL library [22:10] lol im going back to windows so i can play games. linux another day [22:10] matrox was the good good [22:10] smh [22:11] theToolman: thanks, i'll look into it [22:11] any video card sucks in linux even intel have tearing in some cases, xorg sucks [22:11] idk i only game in windows [22:11] yeah but I'm trying to get this to work [22:11] i work in linux [22:11] hope wayland wring use some sort of solution [22:12] i was reading a bit about it but they were being quite vague about [22:12] anyway, I've installed the ATIADL library [22:12] as far as I'm aware [22:12] are you on 16.04? [22:12] yup [22:13] zeeblefritz, you know with pci passthrew you can pretty mutch run any windows game in linux [22:14] gogeta: if could get my gpu's to work right [22:14] lol if only i had time for games [22:14] zeeblefritz, what gpu [22:14] this whole issue of this shit has me hung [22:14] I'm using a RX480 [22:14] i'm determined to fix it so i can use my machine right [22:15] 280x x2 [22:15] bumblefuzz, run kernel 4.10 for rx480 [22:15] ooohhh [22:15] how do I do that? [22:15] lol [22:15] lol [22:16] Hey, I"m having trouble finding a clear answer online about the freedom of Ubuntu OS. Is it open source? Is it open source and free (as in freedom)? The headline on ubuntu.com is a bit ambiguous "Ubuntu is an open source software platform". Does this mean Ubuntu is open source or that it is merely a platform for open source software? [22:16] zeeblefritz, but when your using passthrew the vm controles your gpu so linux sucking with it whont matter [22:17] bumblefuzz, install 17.04 comes default or download the deb files from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [22:17] bumblefuzz, yea add the paa install [22:17] ppa [22:17] yungmig, the source code for ubuntu is avable for download so yes [22:19] bumblefuzz, need to download linux-headers linux-image linux-headers-generic dependin on your arch it wuld be i386 or amd64 [22:19] Okay thanks. I'll try compiling a build for 17.04 when I decide to upgrade :) [22:19] bumblefuzz, the from folder, sudo dpkg -i linux-* [22:19] hey guys no offense but ubuntu is the noobiest linux [22:19] yungmig, why do that when they have binarys for you [22:20] cerulean, kinda its point :) [22:20] gogeta: but i still need windows? [22:20] canonical betrayed us by working with micro$oft [22:20] the swap error was not the reason it was slow to boot, I'm wondering if it was the other error. will post a picture [22:20] what's next, IE for Linux? [22:20] cerulean: gentoo and arch are fun too [22:21] zeeblefritz, pci passhtrew uses a windows vm it controles your card directly vs emulation very fast you do need a newer gpu and cpu to do it [22:21] just ubu is ez [22:21] im a debian guy [22:21] my friend is an archist [22:21] never touches *-entoo [22:21] gogeta, just to know how far open source it is. The question asked in this thread seems to be a bit debatable https://askubuntu.com/questions/533661/is-ubuntu-linux-an-open-source-software [22:21] i love my gento machines [22:22] gogeta, so why don't I just use windows then? [22:22] yungmig, well all the code can be downloaded looks at all the spinoffs what they do own is there name and trademarks [22:22] I choose to use Ubuntu because of the Unity desktop environment, else I'd be on Debian [22:22] zeeblefritz: nothing is stopping you [22:22] eww unity [22:23] I mean if the solution is to use windows inside of linux [22:23] agreed..eww [22:23] When booting I see this error message. http://i.imgur.com/RMZvpEU.png [22:23] I like it. I'm more productive with it and it looks slick [22:23] zeeblefritz, relly depends on what kind of games you run [22:23] i'm usually on xfce === allen_ is now known as allenriath [22:23] is there a "scroll all the way up in the terminal window" command? default terminal in ubuntu [22:24] both files do exist, but /scripts/... is in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/ not root [22:24] zeeblefritz, most thing a few years old wine runs fine relly the case with the newer builds [22:24] marvin2: if you're in less, g [22:24] so it seems to be a chroot? [22:24] gogeta, all the kinds honestly but am actually willing to sacrifice what games i play to scrap windows [22:24] zeeblefritz, and many have native ports now [22:24] dude keep windows for games [22:24] and use linux for work and services [22:24] is there some other way to troubleshoot why boot would take a whole minute? [22:24] theToolman I'm not, I'm in terminal. I want to do something like this: cls && compile && scroll up [22:25] bootup logs? [22:25] theToolman, my older machine that cant run most things past the dx9 era wine runs it all :) [22:25] compile | tee output.file | less [22:25] systemd-analyze? [22:25] and 'g' to go to top and gg to bottom [22:26] theToolman that is actually a good idea [22:26] you might need to run it like this [22:26] is it doable without writing to output.file? [22:26] zeeblefritz, but as others said a simple dual boot setup works well [22:26] marvin2: compile 2>&1 | less [22:27] This is the output of systemd-analyze, I'm running Ubuntu budgie 17.04 Startup finished in 4.818s (firmware) + 5.775s (loader) + 3.618s (kernel) + 3min 526ms (userspace) = 3min 14.739s [22:27] solidpizza: holyshit [22:27] gogeta, but apparently gpu support has gone backwards over the years [22:27] solidpizza: systemctl status [22:27] zeeblefritz, no thats just ubuntu gpu support is acully quite good in new kernels [22:27] Some people also run a virtualized Windows OS on Linux and pass through a 2nd GPU which I find is a quite cool alternative to dual booting. It's close to native performance as well. [22:28] gogeta, what do you suggest? [22:28] no one answered my question? [22:28] zeeblefritz, dont even know what gpu you have [22:28] petro: ? [22:28] theToolman, http://paste.ubuntu.com/24436727/ === haasn is now known as hanna [22:28] theToolman: do you know anything about vpns? [22:28] petro, which one it was? [22:28] lucas-arg: about my vpn issue [22:29] petro, what's your question again? [22:29] theToolman slight issue though, I also have && ./a.out. which should only be ran if compilation was successful [22:29] writing a script time I guess? [22:29] petro: not really. i use ssh for everything [22:29] yungmig: I think it's an interesting one... lol [22:29] ubuntu is a hard to use operating system with many features [22:29] I use OpenVPN 24/7 [22:29] by one of the marks of silicon valley [22:29] zeeblefritz, is it intel a gtx a amd? [22:29] I am using 17.04 and use pia vpn but the pia app doesn't work [22:29] gogeta i am running dual 280x with amd 880x quad core cpu and 16gb ddr3 [22:29] solidpizza: ''systemd-analyze blame'' to see what took all of the time [22:29] I just noticed that the servers are under 'wired' which works.... and I'm confused :) [22:30] marvin2: make it into a script and run the script with output piped to less [22:30] zeeblefritz, so the older amd cards you should run the amdpro drivers [22:30] it's like the configuration got messed up somehow [22:30] Petro, download openvpn config files, use openvpn software. Make a network lock using UFW rules. [22:30] it's a bug for someone... I'd bet $$ on it [22:30] yungmig: I did [22:30] wedgie, odd, the Network manager took the longest, but it says only 7.943 seconds [22:30] gogeta, ironically thats the opposite of what i have found out [22:31] I checked for openvpn and all the packages with it are installed [22:31] ive read the radeon drivers are best [22:31] I also was able to use a free vpn to test and it worked [22:31] the pia app works in 16.04 too [22:31] So is it fine, you just can't use their custom app? [22:31] really odd :-/ [22:31] zeeblefritz, something wrong with the amdpro drivers [22:32] yungmig: yeah, I think so [22:32] zeeblefritz, if you wish to stick to opensorce https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers [22:32] what is really weird is the instructions for fedora has the look what I have [22:33] but, the instructions are the same [22:33] hey brb gonna go into a tmux [22:33] zeeblefritz, updates 16.04 mesa stack the one inculded is relly old slow and bad [22:33] \q [22:34] gogeta, honestly for now im putting it to rest. im not going to play games of try this one its the one, no try this one this is the one. its a nightmare always has been [22:34] ill go back to being spied on fuck it [22:35] zeeblefritz, well when your running a lts that only gets major updates every 2 years it take some tweakes on newer hardware [22:36] How much safer (if at all) is it using ubuntu over public wifi vs. windows or osx? [22:36] see and a few minutes ago i was running older hardware, now its newer hardware, i can't keep it straight [22:37] hi fellas, I upgraded my distro from 16.10 to 17.04 and now I am having a static noisy sound problem while using headphones, and this is the output of /var/log/syslog: https://pastebin.com/SN3miYw4 [22:37] user445, probly not any safer unless you use a vpn [22:37] yeah, the risks are about the same. [22:37] gogeta: what can I do to be more secure (I have a vpn) [22:38] user445, vpn pretty mutch shildes for from any spying [22:38] I think this is the first time I encounter a problem like this after running apt update && upgrade, interesting and annoying... [22:38] gogeta: and I'm talking about protecting against remote attacks / compromise [22:38] user445, vpn also helps with that as they dont see your real pc [22:39] So without access to the IP, somone can't remotely compromise a system? [22:39] well anyone in the same wireless LAN segnment will still be able to observe the traffic [22:39] user445, pretty mutch [22:39] and see the endpoint [22:39] tomreyn: theoretically [22:39] ok, thanks [22:39] quite practically [22:40] well if they cant see the ip but you can see them, they can download a reverse shell [22:40] I'm always skeptical when using public access [22:40] user445, but its like anything anyone deterned enough [22:40] yeah [22:40] usually will be js on a webpage that does it [22:40] yea witch the vpn would block [22:41] So, in short, why is it that people often claim linux can't get "viruses"? [22:41] user [22:41] user445, oh it can [22:41] because there are less statistics of it [22:41] anythinng that can execute code can do it maliciously [22:42] user445, if fact there is quite a nasty mailware attack out in the whiled now [22:42] !virus | user445 [22:42] user445: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux, except where files are then passed to Windows computers (perhaps using Samba). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [22:42] user445, but nearly all of that target servers not desktops [22:42] Makes sense [22:43] There's little reason to put effort into writing a virus for a linux desktop when so little people use the OS [22:43] user445, and many infections are user error running bad app as root a infected repo etc [22:44] but of course a virus for linux is worth so much more because its more business oriented so that data that you can exfiltrate is juicier [22:44] That's true [22:44] user445, but with linux devs tend to fix the weakness soit makes virus hard to keep making [22:45] does anyone else take additional security measures aside from using a VPN? e.g. firejail [22:45] i bet you the reason they still say that linux doesn't get malware is because they're still telling everyone you don't need an antivirus on linux so there isn't anything detecting and aggregating the statistical data [22:46] user445: give me a second and i'll show you a few of my setups [22:46] theToolman do you run antivirus software [22:46] ok [22:46] i have clamav on all of my systems [22:46] but semantec also has a linux client [22:46] How easy is it to sandbox everything [22:46] i used it but it was annoying as shit [22:47] run it in a docker [22:47] many av venders have linux ports [22:48] Would love suggestions for extra security configuration [22:48] which system type architecture i shuold install in a 4gb RAM with intel duo core? 32bit or 64? [22:48] as long as you're running software that everyone has (apache, rpcbind, dns, nginx, mysql, psql, etc), you're vulnerable [22:49] k3nux: 64 [22:49] k3nux: as long as it's a 64 bit processor, use 64 bit [22:49] yes its a 64bit processor [22:49] i want to use the notebook mainly for programming and internet browsing === safrabods__ is now known as Safrabody [22:50] ofc with a smooth performance [22:52] k3nux: ubu-16.04 amd64 [22:52] allright, thanks for the help you two [22:52] i have 200 heavy background processes taking all cpu time, is there a way to severely increase cpu time given to active window? no matter how much background processes are running, i need gui at 60+ fps no matter what and how much processes are running [22:53] newbie|2: lookup 'nice' and 'renice' [22:53] newbie|2: or get a bigger cpu [22:54] newbie|2: the tools theToolman mentioned are how you can assign a priority to processes. Make your background processes very "nice", aka, make them low priority [22:54] these are random heavy processes that i have, i wont specificaly nice them. i need process whos window is active atm, have all cpu load it needs [22:55] how do we know if someone commented to us when we leave?:) [22:55] I guess no one replied to me [22:55] if you're using irssi pgup [22:55] I suppose I'll give up on the problem [22:55] irssi?

Any suggestions? I have seen various hacks to disable pm but does not seem to work [23:06] perhaps I should just disable laptop mode altogether? [23:19] who here uses tmux? [23:19] theToolman a lot of people i'm sure, but you're probably gonna have better luck in #tmux if you have a question [23:20] i don't have a question. just doing a poll [23:24] theToolman: ubottu would ask that you not poll the chan ;-) [23:26] laptop mode not installed actually, even though lxde seesion aks whetehr to tun in ln laptop mode or not [23:26] any feedback on this wifi issue? === mcphail_ is now known as mcphail [23:28] where can I download nvidia control panel?
