| mncedisi | @bazhang yeah tryna install anydesk.deb on ubuntu 14.04 buggy | 02:02 |
| bazhang | mncedisi, where did you get that deb | 02:02 |
| mncedisi | anydesk | 02:02 |
| mncedisi | google.com | 02:02 |
| bazhang | mncedisi, give us a link as to where | 02:02 |
| mncedisi | let me see ok | 02:03 |
| bazhang | mncedisi, so it's a third party deb from the web, not the ubuntu software sources | 02:03 |
| mncedisi | https://anydesk.com/download | 02:03 |
| jerichowasahoax | I looked at /etc/login.defs to change LOGIN_STRING and a comment told me I was looking in the wrong file. Where should I look instead? | 02:04 |
| bazhang | mncedisi, then contact them for support | 02:04 |

| mncedisi | ok | 02:05 |
| mncedisi | dpkg -i anydesk.deb | 02:05 |
| mncedisi | is ok but cant connect to remote desktop | 02:05 |
| bazhang | mncedisi, then use the ubuntu supported packages | 02:06 |

| xcyclist | So, I arrived home Friday night to find my sound did not work on my desktop Ubuntu. I have now purchased three replacement speaker sets and they all don't work, but when I unplug speaker, I get sound directly from the box (not adequate quality of course). What gives? | 02:38 |
| xcyclist | Is my sound aspect on the mother board now gone? Did you guys deliver a bad device driver in a recent update? | 02:39 |
| xcyclist | (sorry, not "you guys" of course, but Canonical) | 02:41 |
| xcyclist | I have tried the green jack on both the front and the back of the box. Both worked before. | 02:41 |
| grantwu | You get sound directly from the box? What does that mean? | 02:42 |
| === flush is now known as flush_ | ||
| xcyclist | When I unplug the speakers, the tower echos the sound, presumably from it's beep speaker. | 02:45 |
| xcyclist | It has the quality of a mouse sized richard little with a cough. | 02:45 |
| xcyclist | Sorry, Rich Little. | 02:47 |
| xcyclist | but also the cough. | 02:47 |
| grantwu | I've never heard of the PC speaker doing that o.O | 02:48 |
| grantwu | This sounds like a dumb question, but are you sure that somebody hasn't... plugged in another output device | 02:48 |
| === JeremyD is now known as SleePy | ||
| xcyclist | No, it's more likely I have three bad speaker sets. | 02:50 |
| ledeni | xcyclist, try 'alsamixer; in terminal to see it is mute speakers | 02:50 |
| w9qbj | xcyclist: Have you checked power, and cables on the speaker. And the speaker volume control? Try tapping on the tip of the speaker's plug - do you get any sound - humm ? | 02:51 |
| xcyclist | No I can mute and unmute speakers test with the beep speakerin the box, which again, works. | 02:51 |
| Jordan_U | xcyclist: Test if you can use your speakers from an Ubuntu liveUSB. | 02:54 |
| Bashing-om | xcyclist: ninja'd ^^ ! | 02:55 |

| io_elephant | I trying to chmod permissions on a file (chmod o-w) and chmod executes without errors, but does change permission. i am using sudo. after doing strace i found this message "effective uid is not 0, is /usr/", 133 effective uid is not 0, is /usr/bin/sudo on a file system with the "nosuid" option set or an NFS file system without root privileges? <-- this seems to say that sudo is somehow not working, | 02:57 |
| io_elephant | but it works perfect in any other situation | 02:58 |
| xcyclist | Good night. | 02:58 |
| Ben64 | io_elephant: you mean "doesn't change" ? | 02:59 |
| io_elephant | yes, sorry | 03:00 |
| Ben64 | which file | 03:00 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: What is the exact command you're running? What is the output of "ls -l /path/to/file" before and after running chmod? What filesystem is this file on? | 03:01 |
| io_elephant | just a regular openoffice file | 03:01 |
| io_elephant | the exact command is: sudo chmod o-w myfile.odt | 03:02 |
| io_elephant | -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25430 Sep 6 2016 myfile.odt | 03:03 |
| io_elephant | after running command same exact output of "ls -l " | 03:03 |
| Ben64 | io_elephant: please put the output of the following commands into http://paste.ubuntu.com and give the link here. mount; sudo whoami; ls -l `which sudo` | 03:05 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: And what filesystem is this file stored on? | 03:05 |
| io_elephant | mount for that folder is: /dev/sdb on /home/myuser/data type fuseblk (rw, relatime, user_id=0,group_id=0,allow_other,blksize=4096) | 03:05 |
| Ben64 | oh | 03:06 |
| io_elephant | its a mounted usb | 03:06 |
| Ben64 | still doesn't answer the filesystem question | 03:07 |
| Ben64 | seems likely that it doesn't support permissions | 03:07 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: So most likely ntfs or exfat which have different permissions schemes than GNU/Linux. (Though I would expect this particular problem more froexfat than ntfs). | 03:08 |
| io_elephant | whats the command to see filesystem type? | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | s/froexfat/from exfat/ | 03:09 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: sudo blkid | 03:09 |
| io_elephant | ntfs | 03:09 |
| io_elephant | wow wtf.. lol | 03:10 |
| io_elephant | why did i format it as ntfs?? | 03:10 |
| balleyne | My living room computer which is basically always along dropped into failsafe graphics mode a few days ago, and I'm lost trying to troubleshoot it | 03:10 |
| balleyne | always on* | 03:10 |
| io_elephant | i guess probably because i need windows to real from this drive | 03:10 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: Also, in the future, it's best to write filesystems to partitions rather than writing them to the whole drive. | 03:11 |
| banalize7 | Hi, I want to retrieve a wifi password that is stored in the memory of my machine. I don't remember the wifi password but my computer does because it logs into the network automatically every time I am in range. How do I retrieve it? | 03:11 |
| PipeItToDevNull | banalize7, networkmanager will display it, just edit the connection | 03:11 |
| io_elephant | Jordan_U: even if i am going to need only one partition? | 03:11 |
| Jordan_U | banalize7: Use the Gnome Keyring manager, "seahorse". | 03:12 |
| raub | Question about the supervisor package: I have a program that seems to expect a /etc/supervisord.conf.d directory, but when I looked at http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/all/supervisor/filelist I do not see it being listed. Am I missing something? | 03:12 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: Yes. Having a partition table protects your data, allows you more flexability if you want to ever add more partitions in the future, and allows you to make a more reliable BIOS based boot if you ever want the drive to be bootable. | 03:13 |
| banalize7 | PipeItToDevNull, hmmm... just edit the connection? what do you mean? | 03:13 |
| Bashing-om | balleyne: What does ' sudo lshw -C ' say about a graphic's driver ? | 03:13 |
| banalize7 | Jordan_U, is this built into the Default Ubuntu? | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | io_elephant: There is zero performance decrease from having a partition table, and I doubt you'll ever notice the 1 MiB of data you're not able to use for the filesystem. | 03:14 |
| Bashing-om | balleyne: make that ' sudo lshw -C display ' :) | 03:14 |
| PipeItToDevNull | banalize7, If I right click the applet > Edit Connections > Edit > Wifi Security > Tick box to show password | 03:14 |
| Jordan_U | banalize7: Yes. | 03:15 |
| banalize7 | Thank you | 03:15 |
| banalize7 | Both | 03:15 |
| banalize7 | That helps | 03:15 |
| balleyne | Bashing-om, "product: Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics" and below "configuration: driver=i915 latency=0" | 03:15 |
| io_elephant | Jordan_U: yeah you are right, it makes sense | 03:16 |
| balleyne | Bashing-om, weird this is that there was no hardware change (unless something failed), it'd be working fine for months... | 03:16 |
| io_elephant | Jordan_U: so is NTFS my only option if i want to use the same fs on windows and linux? | 03:16 |
| io_elephant | basically i boot up windows in VirtualBox and share a folder from this mounted usb | 03:18 |
| Bashing-om | balleyne: updates broke a proprietary driver ? = presently we just do not know . could be LOT's of things . no driver is likely . | 03:18 |
| balleyne | Bashing-om, any idea how I figure out what driver I'm supposed to be using? `lspci | grep VGA` gives "VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09)" and I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel with no luck, but I'm not even sure if that's the right driver... | 03:21 |
| balleyne | actually, looks like it's supposed to be a free driver: https://h-node.org/videocards/view/en/1616/Intel-Corporation-Broadwell-U-Integrated-Graphics--rev-09- | 03:22 |
| Bashing-om | balleyne: Intel's driver is included in the kernel .. best left for 96% of the use cases . And no, I have no Intel experience . sorry . | 03:23 |
| balleyne | Bashing-om, thanks anyways :) | 03:25 |
| ouroumov_ | balleyne, if you run "inxi -G" does it says driver used is "modesetting"? | 03:26 |
| Bashing-om | balleyne: :) I have no Intel sustems so can not relate well . | 03:31 |

| Zenn | hi guys is it recommended for a windows user to switch over to Ubuntu. | 05:27 |
| mattpalermo | Generally I think it is a pretty friendly choice. What do you use your computer for? | 05:28 |
| Jordan_U | Zenn: That depends entirely on the user, what they use the computer for, etc. | 05:28 |
| Zenn | movies, programming in java (IntelliJ), chatting, surffing the net, music | 05:28 |
| mattpalermo | Zenn: I think you'll be able to do all of that. I will take some adjusting, but you will get used to it. You may also come to appreciate some things, like the package manager. | 05:29 |
| Jordan_U | Zenn: Those all sound like things that should go relatively well in Ubuntu. Playing copy protected BlueRay disks in Linux can be difficult sometimes though. | 05:30 |
| Zenn | lol I mostly watch it on youtube | 05:30 |
| mattpalermo | Since youtube moved to HTML5 video, Youtube works perfectly. | 05:30 |
| Zenn | I dont play any disks on my system that is so old school | 05:30 |
| Zenn | Im sick of Windows tbh, my worries is virus and spyware and crap | 05:31 |
| Jordan_U | Zenn: I would recommend that you give it a spin and see how you like it. You can try Ubuntu without even installing it. When you do install for the first time, it's almost certainly a good idea to dual boot (so that you can choose to either boot Ubuntu or Windows) so that while you're learning Ubuntu you can fall back to Windows if needed. | 05:32 |
| Zenn | I dont need windows tbh, most of the stuff I do on Windows can be done on Ubuntu I guess. | 05:32 |
| mattpalermo | Dual boot is a good idea. It does no harm and can be really helpful when someone asks you to do some horible task that requires windows. | 05:33 |
| Jordan_U | Zenn: Still, you should start with a dual boot. When you're sure that you are comfortable being Ubuntu only you can erase Windows later. | 05:34 |
| Zenn | but I have shit tons of things to back up over windows | 05:34 |
| Zenn | photos most of the times. | 05:34 |
| mattpalermo | Zenn: They should probably be already backed up multiple times. Consider grabbing a few 1TB harddrives and just backing up your precious photos. | 05:35 |
| Zenn | I really sick of Windows, I keep reformatting it for months already | 05:36 |
| Zenn | it is horrible man, went to the net yesterday it got infected with spyware. | 05:36 |
| mattpalermo | Zenn: I feel your pain :) ... but I don't understand how people get viruses and spyware... you must be downloading some dodgy shit :P | 05:37 |
| Zenn | tbh I never did. call it luck. | 05:37 |
| Zenn | believe or not Im a computer programmer so I know my way around | 05:38 |
| Zenn | 8gb and god knows what is eatting the machine up. | 05:39 |
| edbordin | Does anyone know how develop a kernel patch without having to recompile the entire thing after every small change I make? I'm trying to test a patch for someone and it didn't work first shot, so I'm trying to be helpful and do some basic diagnostics myself with print statements. | 05:39 |
| mattpalermo | edbordin: I think generally you have to recompile the files that you changed. A system like Make should be smart enough to only recompile the bits that you changed. | 05:43 |
| mattpalermo | Sorry I meant, should be smart enough to only recompile to *files* that you changed. | 05:43 |
| mattpalermo | the* | 05:44 |
| edbordin | mattpalermo: that was what I figured too, but after making a change and running the same build command I'm not seeing my log messages appearing. Currently waiting for a full rebuild to see if it was a build issue or if this bit of code doesn't execute | 05:45 |

| alkisg | Hi, the anbox.io site says to execute `snap install --classic anbox-installer && anbox-installer`. I'm doing so in my 16.04 box and it says "anbox-installer: snap not found". How do snaps work, am I supposed to run something like `snap update` to fetch the newer package metadata? | 06:16 |
| ducasse | alkisg: there is a systemd service that does that from time to time | 06:18 |
| alkisg | ducasse: any ideas about why it says "snap not found" then? Maybe anbox.io assumes I'm running 17.04 or something? | 06:18 |
| alkisg | Or am I supposed to run something like `snap-add-repository`? | 06:18 |
| ducasse | alkisg: does 'snap find .' list any other snaps? | 06:19 |
| alkisg | 101 snaps | 06:19 |
| ducasse | alkisg: what about 'snap find anbox' | 06:20 |
| alkisg | The search "anbox" returned 0 snaps | 06:20 |
| alkisg | (Using Ubuntu MATE 16.04.2, btw - and ty :)) | 06:20 |
| alkisg | Is there something similar to packages.ubuntu.com for snaps? Where I can see them online? | 06:21 |
| ducasse | alkisg: ok, then i'm not sure, it finds it here. the snap index should be the same no matter which version you're on | 06:21 |
| alkisg | Thanks, let me try in a VM... | 06:21 |
| ducasse | alkisg: there is a service called snapd-refresh, try restarting that | 06:22 |
| alkisg | (also, I'm on i386, maybe they publish it only for amd64?) | 06:22 |
| ducasse | ah, that might be a clue, yes. | 06:22 |
| alkisg | ducasse: I don't have snapd-refresh | 06:22 |
| alkisg | What's the exact command or package that provides it? | 06:23 |
| ducasse | snapd.refresh, sorry | 06:23 |
| alkisg | Command not found... | 06:23 |
| alkisg | And no suggestions to install a package for it | 06:24 |
| ducasse | sudo systemctl restart snapd.refresh | 06:24 |
| alkisg | OK I have it in a 64bit VM | 06:24 |
| alkisg | (It's a Unity VM; but I'll be able to compare packages etc to pinpoint the issue) | 06:24 |
| alkisg | Thank you! | 06:24 |
| alkisg | (snap find anbox there, actually finds it...) | 06:25 |
| ducasse | np, but the 32-bit thing is probably the explanation. if you restart the refresh service like above, just give it a few minutes to update so you know you're working with a fresh list. | 06:26 |
| ducasse | alkisg: btw you can search for snaps here: https://uappexplorer.com/ | 06:28 |
| alkisg | ducasse: thanks, but it doesn't list anbox there... | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Whoops my bad | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Didn't see that the default search was for phones | 06:29 |
| plagueos | jello | 06:29 |
| ducasse | alkisg: it does, but not for i386 | 06:29 |
| alkisg | https://uappexplorer.com/app/anbox-installer.morphis => Architectures: amd64 | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Yeah | 06:29 |
| ducasse | sooo... :-/ | 06:29 |
| alkisg | Eh, I'll install it in a 64bit VM :D | 06:30 |
| alkisg | ...which runs inside my i386 box :P | 06:30 |
| alkisg | It's fun though that installing a snap is "easy", and then it has a second, user-mode installer which adds PPAs and modifies files in /etc... :D | 06:31 |
| mattpalermo | alkisg: Does that even work? Running a 64bit VM on a i386 box...? | 06:32 |
| alkisg | mattpalermo: yes with vbox, no with qemu | 06:32 |
| mattpalermo | alkisg: I suppose vbox must support architecture emulation. | 06:33 |
| alkisg | mattpalermo: of course, the cpu is 64bit; it's just the OS that's 32bit | 06:33 |
| alkisg | The speed feels native, it's not emulated code | 06:34 |
| mattpalermo | That's cool. | 06:34 |
| ducasse | alkisg: why run a 32-bit os on a 64-bit cpu, if you don't mind me asking? | 06:35 |
| mattpalermo | Perhaps trying to wring out performance for something like the jvm? | 06:35 |
| alkisg | ducasse: I'm using LTSP very extensively, which means that I have a template desktop server, and I can netboot any number of clients using the same image/installation that the server has. So, in order to be able to netboot p4 I need i386 on the template server as well | 06:36 |
| alkisg | E.g. schools maintain one computer only, and then netboot the whole computer lab from it | 06:36 |
| ducasse | right. sounds sane enough :) | 06:37 |
| auronandace | I seem to be disconnecting and reconnecting to irc every hour or so, this only started happening since I fresh installed 17.04. What might be the possible causes? I'm running weechat 1.7 from the repos. It appears to be due to high lag. | 06:42 |
| mattpalermo | Have you tried varying certain parts of your system? Perhaps trying a different IRC client? | 06:43 |
| auronandace | mattpalermo: thanks for the suggestion, I'll try out another client. Anything else comes to mind if the client isn't the cause? | 06:45 |
| mattpalermo | Look into your 'high lag' problem. Is your network connection ok? | 06:46 |
| auronandace | mattpalermo: has anything changed network related between 16.10 and 17.04? I never got any problems on 16.10 and my connection has always been stable. | 06:50 |
| alkisg | auronandace, you can also check syslog if it has "ifup/ifdown" messages (link is up, link is down etc) | 06:51 |
| mattpalermo | auronandace: I am not sure of the specifics but I assume things have changed. I have experienced a kernel regression that seems to be specific to my wifi adapter (it would drop out every 30 minutes if the router was using 802.11n). | 06:53 |
| mattpalermo | Sorry, "kernel regression" is an assumption. I'm still waiting for confirmation on the bug report. | 06:54 |
| auronandace | alkisg: thanks for the tip. It appears my wifi is scanning quite often. I'm using the ethernet connection though. Perhaps it is trying to connect to another network and overriding my ethernet connection temporarily | 06:56 |

It is not working or showing up under lspci. I'm confused as to what to check next. I've googled all I can for answers but I'm stuck. | 08:26 |
| ikonia | TTN: pastebin the output of lspci please | 08:26 |
| TTN | I've also reseated the card, and also tried setting the pcie gen in the bios to: auto, gen 1, gen 2, gen 3, same results, no go or show on lspci. | 08:27 |
| TTN | ikonia: sure. | 08:27 |

| TAFB | can someone help me make an rsync loop that keeps a directory fully updated? | 08:31 |
| TTN | TAFB: make a shell script to do the sync. Then add it as a cron job. | 08:32 |
| TTN | each of those has excellent guides on google as to how to do it. I'd have to read it up myself to explain more xD | 08:32 |
| TAFB | the remote directory will keep having files added (HLS chuncks) and updating the index.m3u8 of course, but don't want it to re-download all the existing .ts chuncks | 08:32 |
| TAFB | can't use watch? | 08:33 |
| TTN | watch would work well too. Actually thats probably better. | 08:34 |
| TTN | ikonia: any ideas or leads perhaps? \ | 08:34 |
| TAFB | you good with rsync? how do I save the password? | 08:42 |
| ikonia | TTN: sorry, I had to step away for a moment | 08:44 |
| TTN | :-) no worries | 08:45 |
| ikonia | TTN: so you have a realtek wired ethernet and an intel wired ethernet in the machine ? | 08:45 |
| TTN | I do know I have realtek wired ethernet. There is only one ethernet adapter (motherboard one) | 08:45 |
| TTN | perhaps the intel one is the wifi adapter then? | 08:45 |
| ikonia | TTN: yes, I suspect this is the case that the gigabyte card is just a rebadged intel | 08:46 |
| ikonia | which would explain why you think it's very well supported as the intel cards are | 08:46 |
| TTN | right.. | 08:46 |
| TTN | so thats just the ethernet showing up. Still no sign of the wifi card I guess? | 08:47 |
| TTN | I'm starting to wonder if I got a DOA wifi card, or perhaps its a ryzen/bios issue | 08:47 |
| ikonia | no sign where ? | 08:48 |
| ikonia | where are you looking ? | 08:48 |
| TTN | lspci output. | 08:48 |
| ikonia | TTN: ??? you've just said that the intel card is probably the wifi | 08:48 |
| TTN | I did, but you said that the realtek one is probably an intel one relabled as realtek, so I thought both are the ethernet one | 08:48 |
| ikonia | no I didn't | 08:49 |
| ikonia | I said the realtek one is your intel card | 08:49 |
| ikonia | and the gigabyte wifi you said you bought is probably just a rebadged intel | 08:49 |
| TTN | I see. | 08:50 |
| TTN | gotcha | 08:50 |
| wludi | Hi Where I can speak about installin' issue? | 08:51 |

| wludi | I tried install a ubuntu but after whole process of installation my cpu stuck on x[sec] I run installation with nomodeset, but it's stuck. I tried install version16.04, and 17.04. I have Laptop Inspiron 7559 with dual disc (ssd and hdd) | 08:58 |
| ikonia | your cpu stuck | 08:59 |
| ikonia | how do you know your cpu is stick | 08:59 |
| wludi | how can i solve this issue? | 08:59 |

| ikonia | demo: use the version that ubuntu ships and support | 09:05 |
| LibertyWeNeed | demo, do you have synaptic installed? | 09:06 |
| demo | yes i have | 09:06 |
| ikonia | synaptic is pretty obsolete | 09:06 |
| woodlandassociat | if you want to really use the older deb file just install it using gdebi | 09:06 |
| lamerche | elky {} | 09:06 |
| ikonia | demo: open the package manager, search for virtual box and use the package that ubuntu provides and supports | 09:06 |
| demo | i want 4.3.38 for a reason .. | 09:06 |
| ikonia | demo: what reason | 09:07 |
| LibertyWeNeed | demo, have you run "sudo dpkg -i (drag the deb file here)" ? | 09:07 |
| demo | no | 09:07 |
| LibertyWeNeed | demo, then check if there are any broken packages in the synaptic package manager | 09:07 |
| ikonia | demo: what is the reason you need that specific version | 09:07 |
| ikonia | LibertyWeNeed: please stop helping - you're giving bad info | 09:07 |
| demo | Eror. Dependency is not satisfiable: libpng12-0(>=1.2.13-4) | 09:08 |

| ikonia | demo: why do you not want to use the version ubuntu ships and supports | 09:08 |
| demo | i want to boot into mac os in virtualbox | 09:08 |
| FManTropyx | the manual page for gettimeofday indicates definition in time.h, but it does not seem to be and furthermore, the timezone structure is not defined in it, so where could I find it? | 09:08 |
| ikonia | demo: use the version ubuntu ships then | 09:09 |
| ikonia | demo: but be aware of the license around using mac OS in a VM | 09:09 |
| FManTropyx | I guess I could just copy them from the man page | 09:09 |
| LibertyWeNeed | ikonia, I am not. Just helping them get the older version working. | 09:09 |
| ikonia | LibertyWeNeed: no you are not | 09:09 |
| demo | virtualbox 5.18 gives error | 09:09 |
| ikonia | demo: ok - so talking to the vbox support guys can help you work through that | 09:09 |
| FManTropyx | "please stop helping" :D | 09:09 |
| ikonia | demo: the answer is to fix the problem, not try to make more problems | 09:09 |
| demo | LibertyWeNeed, will installing older package break my computer ? | 09:10 |
| ikonia | demo: it will cause you package conflicts as the packages you need will not be available from the ubuntu repos | 09:10 |
| LibertyWeNeed | demo, it won't break your computer. | 09:11 |
| ikonia | LibertyWeNeed: please stop | 09:11 |
| ikonia | LibertyWeNeed: you are giving bad information | 09:11 |
| demo | LibertyWeNeed, how can i install libpng12-0 ?? | 09:12 |
| ikonia | demo: work through the problem with the version that ubuntu ships, | 09:13 |
| TAFB | sometimes when running rsync it sits on "receiving incremental file list" forever, is there a way I can make a timeout for getting the file list? | 09:21 |
| ikonia | no | 09:21 |
| ikonia | as it will take all the time it needs to build a delta list | 09:21 |
| TAFB | but if I ctrl-c it and run the command again it gets the file list instantly | 09:22 |
| TAFB | so it's getting a timeout or something but just sitting there | 09:22 |
| ikonia | TAFB: probably the remote server being slow | 09:23 |
| TAFB | yep, under very heavy load | 09:23 |
| TAFB | but I need this bullet proof :( | 09:23 |
| ikonia | right.... | 09:23 |
| TAFB | "if file list not received in 5 seconds kill and restart" | 09:23 |
| TAFB | or something | 09:23 |
| ikonia | TAFB: use the --timeout option | 09:23 |
| TAFB | sweet, I'll give it a go | 09:24 |
| scotty^ | firefox 53 | 09:24 |
| ikonia | TAFB: maybe try "man rsync" | 09:24 |
| ikonia | get the details and understand what that setting does | 09:25 |
| TAFB | hmmm, rsync --timeout=5 -as -P 'root@ doesn't seem to fix the receiving incremental file list problem, maybe it's just trickling down the data or something :( | 09:26 |
| blackflow | TAFB: is that over ssh? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | TAFB: did you read what it does | 09:28 |
| TAFB | i think so | 09:28 |
| ikonia | ok - what do you think it does | 09:28 |
| TTN | ok, so more research: The card is detected. Its simply not working atm with 14.04. 16.04 doesn't support it but 16.10 does out of the box. | 09:33 |
| inflex | Any way to get the 4.10.12 kernel for 17.04 already? 4.10.0-19 is giving me hell | 09:34 |
| scotty^ | inflex: you can get that kernel from the mainline kernel ppa at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 09:39 |
| scotty^ | Instructions on how to install and uninstall it are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 09:40 |
| TTN | now, the question is how to backport the feature into 14.04 xD I don't really want to go to 16.10 :P | 09:40 |
| MonkeyDust | is 16.10 still supported, even? | 09:42 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, it is... sounds like you found a !bug, then | 09:43 |
| FManTropyx | sure | 09:44 |
| MonkeyDust | it isnt* | 09:44 |
| MonkeyDust | i'm confused | 09:44 |
| FManTropyx | "Standard Ubuntu releases are supported for 9 months" | 09:45 |
| FManTropyx | so, until July | 09:45 |
| FManTropyx | here is a nice graph: https://www.ubuntu.com/info/release-end-of-life (scroll down a bit) | 09:46 |
| faugusztin | FManTropyx: that or wikipedia table https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)#Releases | 09:47 |
| faugusztin | FManTropyx: or even better, for all releases ever https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history#Version_timeline :P | 09:48 |
| faugusztin | with a nice blue line marking "now" :P | 09:48 |
| FManTropyx | now I am starting to feel that I am being mocked | 09:49 |
| faugusztin | mocked ? no | 09:49 |
| FManTropyx | Wikipedia has lots of nice diagrams :) | 09:50 |
| faugusztin | btw, while i am here - is there a good guide how to build custom kernel modules on a secure boot enabled system ? sadly on my ASUS PRIME X370 PRO i am unable to disable secure boot, and it seems like i need to sign it with my own keys and put them in UEFI key storage somehow ? | 09:51 |
| inflex | thankyou scotty^ that's the link I was looking for (had used it before) | 09:52 |
| FManTropyx | I have have 2 packages (0.3%) that can not/no-longer be downloaded!!! | 09:53 |
| FManTropyx | I have an unsupported package 'eatmydata' | 09:54 |
| FManTropyx | hmm, why does ubuntu-support-status tell me that, for example 'bsdgames' in not supported? | 09:56 |
| FManTropyx | "You have 769 packages (25.2%) that are unsupported" | 09:57 |
| MonkeyDust | FManTropyx there's also vrms (virtual richard m stallman) | 09:59 |

| faugusztin | Guest27113: and short answer is - you do not (AFAIK) | 10:15 |
| hmz365 | Why does the kernel have to add a parameter CONFIG_MODULE_FORCE_UNLOAD=y, and why can't you force deletion of the modules that are already in use? | 10:16 |

| Safiyyah | Hi, I need help recovering a encrypted home drive, Yes I have the passcode, I am on Ubuntu MATE live USB | 11:29 |
| Safiyyah | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24439954/ | 11:30 |
| ouroumov_ | Safiyyah, try ecryptfs-recover-private /home/you/.Private | 11:33 |
| ouroumov_ | Safiyyah, actually adapt the path since you're live booting | 11:34 |
| ActarusZX | what you guys think of Elementary Appcenter and making donations easier to opensource app contributors? | 11:35 |
| MonkeyDust | ActarusZX elementary is not supported here | 11:36 |
| MonkeyDust | ActarusZX and no polls here | 11:37 |
| cfhowlett | ActarusZX, elementary is not an ubuntu distro, not supported here. do what you will and see elementary for support options | 11:37 |
| ActarusZX | Sure, sorry, I was asking for opinion | 11:38 |
| cfhowlett | !elementary | ActarusZX | 11:38 |
| ubottu | ActarusZX: Elementary OS is an Ubuntu derivative which is supported in their IRC channel #elementary on irc.freenode.net - http://elementaryos.org/ for more information on this distribution. | 11:38 |
| rizonz | what is the best way to check the package name when you build your own deb using mh-perl-make ? | 11:45 |
| Safiyyah | ouroumov_, it was successful but when I opened the tmp file is just has the readme txt file and access your private data, so am still not in | 11:46 |
| Safiyyah | https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24440035/ | 11:48 |
| tomreyn | Safiyyah: so /tmp/ecryptfs.e8JVVUL3/ just contains the README file? | 11:50 |
| Safiyyah | yes | 11:51 |
| tomreyn | hmm i guess that's unexecpted. maybe run "ecryptfs-recover-private /tmp/ecryptfs.e8JVVUL3/" then | 11:52 |
| tomreyn | actually "ecryptfs-recover-private /tmp/ecryptfs.e8JVVUL3" | 11:52 |
| tomreyn | Safiyyah: which ubuntu release are you on, is it all patched? | 11:54 |
| Safiyyah | i am on ubuntu MAte live USB but the SSD is on Xubuntu | 11:55 |
| tomreyn | release versions? | 11:55 |
| Safiyyah | thgat last one from 2016 | 11:55 |
| Safiyyah | let me find it | 11:55 |
| Safiyyah | i only do lts versions | 11:56 |
| tomreyn | sounds like this oooold bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecryptfs-utils/+bug/1028532 | 11:56 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1028532 in ecryptfs-utils (Ubuntu) "ecryptfs-recover-private mounts in /tmp but does not decrypt" [Low,Fix released] | 11:56 |
| dishantgupta | #python | 11:57 |
| === Xenophon1 is now known as XenophonF | ||
| Safiyyah | hmm | 11:57 |
| tomreyn | this bug also suggests that the "Success!" report can be incorrect, and you may have typed the wrong passphrase | 11:57 |
| dishantgupta | can i recover my old windows installation data | 11:57 |
| Safiyyah | shall intall ecryptfs utils are re-try | 11:58 |
| dishantgupta | after i have successfully installed ubuntu | 11:58 |
| dishantgupta | it has done the repartitioning | 11:58 |
| dishantgupta | of disks | 11:58 |
| tomreyn | dishantgupta: are you saying that after installing ubuntu side by side with windows, botting into windows is no lopnger possible? | 11:59 |
| cfhowlett | dishantgupta, possibly. | 11:59 |
| Safiyyah | actually it is already installed.... does this mean there is no solution to this bug? | 11:59 |
| tomreyn | dishantgupta: or are you asking how to access the data stored on windows / ntfs partitions from ubuntu? | 12:00 |
| dishantgupta | tomreyn: there's no dual booting, earlier i was using windows, and now i ahve installed ubuntu | 12:00 |
| dishantgupta | i think i missed the option to reconfigure the partitition and the setup has itself repartitioned everything into default partitions | 12:01 |
| dishantgupta | can i get my old windows data back ? | 12:01 |
| dishantgupta | recover | 12:01 |
| dishantgupta | * | 12:01 |
| cfhowlett | dishantgupta, but you backed up your data before installing ubuntu. right? | 12:01 |
| MonkeyDust | dishantgupta did you backup first? | 12:01 |
| dishantgupta | nope, no backup! | 12:02 |
| tomreyn | Safiyyah: the bug where it does not show an error message when you entered the wrong passphrase is fixed by ecryptfs-utils version 104-0ubuntu1, released on 2014-03-15 | 12:02 |
| dishantgupta | it wouldn't be a problem if i had a backup, right!? | 12:02 |
| Safiyyah | tomreyn, I am on Xubuntu 16.04 | 12:03 |
| Safiyyah | on the SSD | 12:03 |
| dishantgupta | tomreyn, cfhowlett, monkeydust!? | 12:04 |
| MonkeyDust | dishantgupta true, with a backup, you're safe | 12:04 |
| tomreyn | dishantgupta: based on what you toild us, the way you chose to install ubuntu will have ensured that your previous ntfs file systems were at least partially overwritten. you can seek the services of a data recovery service to attempt to recover any remaining data, if any. | 12:05 |
| cfhowlett | dishantgupta, you *might* be able to recover, but generally speaking, if data isn't important enough to backup, it's not important at all. return after your ubuntu completes installation and we'll see. | 12:05 |
| dishantgupta | thanks men! | 12:06 |
| dishantgupta | also, have you guys tried any data recovery service in the past | 12:06 |
| dishantgupta | that you can recommend | 12:06 |
| Safiyyah_ | Q | 12:07 |
| tomreyn | not i, i try to have everything backed up (I also learnt from a previous mistake there). | 12:07 |
| dishantgupta | true. thanks tomreyn! | 12:08 |
| MonkeyDust | i have a separate /home *and* a backup | 12:08 |
| TTN | mmm ok so I need to get kernel v4.6 or higher on my system to get this wifi working | 12:08 |
| TTN | right now I'm on 14.04's stock kernel: 4.4 | 12:09 |
| TTN | last time I installed a new kernel manually, it broke the nvidia drivers. | 12:09 |
| tomreyn | TTN: are you seeking assistence with anything, or just reporting on your progress of finding a solution to some issue? in the former case, please also ask a question and provide details. | 12:11 |
| === dexta_ is now known as dexta | ||
| TTN | ok :) thanks tomreyn. I'm seeking assistance in getting my intel 8265 wifi chipset to work. I've learned that my ubuntu's 14.04 kernel 4.4 does not support it, but kernel version 4.6 and higher (in ubuntu 16.10) does support it. Now the question is, how can I best upgrade the kernel? I would like to stay with 14.04 for compatability reasons with libraries that I use. If I install a new kernel I am worried it may break the propietary driver for my gtx1060 | 12:14 |
| TTN | (is using propietary 375.39 driver). How to best solve this problem is really what it boils down to.. | 12:14 |
| TTN | how can I best upgrade to a newer kernel? | 12:14 |
| TTN | without breaking the nvidia proprietary driver? | 12:15 |
| tomreyn | i doubt you can have both | 12:15 |
| arunpyasi | Hello | 12:15 |
| arunpyasi | anyone around ? | 12:15 |
| arunpyasi | How can I reset unity configs via shell ?? | 12:15 |
| tomreyn | TTN: you can, however, upgrade the kernel and install a newer version of the nvidia driver (and see whetehr that works then) | 12:15 |
| arunpyasi | The issue is, I have got my windows bars lost | 12:16 |
| TTN | tomreyn: would a newer version of the nvidia driver be required? Can the one from 'additional drivers' not be used? | 12:17 |
| tomreyn | arunpyasi: maybe these will help https://askubuntu.com/questions/17610/how-do-i-reset-my-unity-configuration | 12:17 |

| tomreyn | TTN: i'm checking the web. so far i concur that intel 8265 wifi appaears to require at least kernel 4.6 | 12:20 |

| Dinosaurio | Ubuntu is the OS I use whenever I want to know how poors that can't afford Windows feel. | 12:22 |

| zalabaslea | he's on autorejoinonkick | 12:22 |
| Dinosaurio | No | 12:22 |

| laserbeak4445 | 2 icons (probably from adwaita) are missing in EasyTAG after upgrading to Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. Here's a screenshot of the missing icons: https://lut.im/DLJCr3zNzn/aIyfVZ4vSO9mhSbk.png | 12:23 |
| zalabaslea | TTN : i have a705A | 12:24 |
| laserbeak4445 | Someone know how I could fix that? | 12:24 |
| TTN | tomreyn: I see, so based off that, I'm already on the 16.04's kernel 4.4. Thats the latest for it it seems (image from the link you sent): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=Ubuntu+Kernel+Release+Schedule.svg | 12:26 |
| TTN | thats good, my ryzen requires the newer kernel. The ryzen cpu runs great on it :) | 12:26 |
| tomreyn | TTN: while i can't guarantee anything my suggestion is thatyou upgrade the system to ubuntu 16.04 and then install either linux-generic-hwe-16.04 or linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge | 12:29 |
| tomreyn | TTN: you can test this safely by installing ubuntu 16.04 to a usb stick and run it (and install the updated kernel images and nvidia drivers) from there. | 12:30 |
| prostako | ikonia and | 12:31 |
| prostako | :) | 12:31 |
| tomreyn | TTN: to clarify, i'm suggesting to make a complete test install of ubuntu 16.04.2 lts on the usb stick, not just to roll out an installer image there. | 12:31 |
| levak | ikonia | 12:33 |
| levak | dai pak | 12:33 |
| tomreyn | arunpyasi: "display stuffs error" is not exactly specific. | 12:33 |
| TTN | Good idea. Hopefully that works. The hwe ins 16.04 takes me right up to 16.10's kernels if I'm not mistaken? | 12:33 |

| tomreyn | so, yes, that's the same minor version | 12:38 |
| tomreyn | ...currectly | 12:38 |
| TTN | I've been staying with 14.04 since it is easier to get ai libraries/toolkits running on it generally | 12:38 |
| TTN | I'll try work with 16.04. Test first, see if it works, if it goes, wohee. | 12:39 |
| tomreyn | hmm i guess you could consider running those in a VM or container | 12:39 |
| TTN | I will get some sleep and test this tomorrow after work. Thanks for the help. Its not always easy getting it on such topics :) | 12:39 |
| TTN | Could do, but they need access to cuda cores | 12:39 |
| TTN | that can get a little tricky sometimes | 12:39 |
| tomreyn | oh ok | 12:39 |
| tomreyn | right, you don't want a virtualization layer then | 12:40 |
| tomreyn | good luck! | 12:41 |

| doost | the app is called fine tune (or finetune)... i installed musique and it suggested it. so i downloaded the deb and installed it using the software center but it isnt from a repos | 13:48 |
| === SimonNL is now known as SimonNL_afk | ||
| doost | it doesnt show up in the software center when i search for it | 13:49 |
| LionOpeter | I am running my own IRC server and looking for the best IRC client to manange my server. My OS is ubuntu (maybe something like mirc for windows?) any suggestions? | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | doost: does this command (run in a terminal) list it? dpkg -l '*finetune*' | 13:49 |
| tomreyn | auronandace: your router tells your client that it is part of the .Home domain. unless that's on purpose you may want to reconfigure your router to not set / send a DNS domain as part of the DHCP | 13:50 |
| tomreyn | auronandace: also, unless you use / need mdns, uninstalling avahi-daemon may solve your issues. | 13:51 |
| tomreyn | work around rather | 13:51 |
| Mathisen | LionOpeter, hexchat | 13:53 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: personally i use hexchat and it works fine for me. it allows for sending custom commands and to script them, and that's all one might need as an ircop | 13:53 |
| tomreyn | irssi is another common choice (if you prefer a CLI) | 13:53 |
| auronandace | tomreyn: how would I know whether I need mdns? I'm guessing it is simply installed by default because I haven't altered any network settings | 13:54 |
| LionOpeter | ok so HexChat is admin (or at least oper) dedicated? | 13:54 |
| * LionOpeter is installing hexchat | 13:55 | |
| === killer is now known as Guest39452 | ||
| tomreyn | auronandace: if you don't know what avahi / mdns is then you probably do not need it. | 13:56 |
| auronandace | tomreyn: good stuff, just the answer I was hoping for | 13:56 |
| auronandace | tomreyn: thanks, I'll give it a whirl | 13:56 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: no it is not. | 13:57 |
| adamsilver | What does this mean: chmod -R go=u,go-w . ? | 13:57 |
| LionOpeter | tomreyn: but i understand it allows all that an oper needs (?) | 13:58 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: yes, like pretty much all irc clients. | 13:59 |
| LionOpeter | it might be missing the charset i need: windows-1255 | 13:59 |
| auronandace | tomreyn: would you advise a reboot after removing avahi-daemon? | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: please consider carefully about running an irc server / network on the internet (if that's your plan) if you are not yet aware of such rather basic things. | 14:00 |
| tomreyn | auronandace: should not be necessary, but you may want to restart networking | 14:01 |
| auronandace | tomreyn: thanks for your help | 14:01 |
| LionOpeter | tomreyn: what basic thing? | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | auronandace: sudo service networking restart | 14:01 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: that you do not need a specific irc client to issue comands as an irc operator. | 14:02 |
| LionOpeter | i beg the differ. i know alot of webclients that do not allow full functionality | 14:02 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: i'm not saying this to insult you but to help safeguarding the internet and to save you a lot of headaches. running irc servers and networks on the internet is an invitation for trouble. | 14:03 |
| rizonz | is it possible to set arch=amd64 during preseed ? | 14:04 |
| tomreyn | the folks in #freenode may be able to provide more insight on this, as will the community of the irc server and services you have chosen to use. | 14:04 |
| LionOpeter | i understand. but i have done this in the past and it is not so bad as you describe it - from personal experience :) | 14:04 |
| andy555 | This is paranormal. GRUB permanently disappears each time I go into bios settings or boot menu. How is this even possible? | 14:05 |
| andy555 | Doesn't make any sense | 14:05 |
| andy555 | I have to reinstall GRUB from a live cd every time | 14:05 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: if 'the past' is long ago, be advised that the Internet has changed (to be a lot more malicious) since the past. | 14:05 |
| LionOpeter | tomreyn: hmmm idk... what is "long ago" to you? i havn't done this something like 2-3 years | 14:07 |
| tomreyn | andy555: some mainboards / their firmware / BIOS / option ROM will manipulate boot sectors if specific options are set. sometimes this is caused by fakeraid options. | 14:08 |
| tomreyn | LionOpeter: i was more thinking in term sof 20 years there | 14:09 |
| tomreyn | or 30 | 14:09 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: what does it mean? How can I check it or fix it? | 14:09 |
| LionOpeter | 20 years is alot of time -.- | 14:09 |
| andy555 | tomaw: This is paranormal | 14:09 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: BTW I updated BIOS firmware couple weeks ago, before installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | tomaw: the above was meant to be addressed to me, i think. | 14:10 |

| codepython777 | has anyone here built a quad using KDE motors? | 14:10 |
| codepython777 | sorry - wrong room | 14:10 |
| tomreyn | andy555: does it happen since you upgraded the firmware then? | 14:10 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: no, before I had only windows 10. I installed ubuntu after that | 14:11 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: and for the record, when grub disappears, windows 10 boots automatically | 14:11 |
| tomreyn | andy555: oh, this sounds more like you have something on windows which overwrites grub | 14:12 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: But if I press F12 at start and go into the bios windows shouldn't be even be aware | 14:12 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: the whole thing happen If I just go into bios settings (without changing anything) or opening boot menu with F12 ay start | 14:13 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: it only takes that to make grub disappear and instead windows 10 load | 14:13 |
| tomreyn | andy555: i agree this sounds wrong, and i'm afraid i do not know how to fix it. it is probably specific to your mainboard firmware and its configuration. | 14:14 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: permanently disappear, I have to reinstall grub from a live cd every time | 14:14 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: I have a pastebin of boot-repair. Is there any information there that could help? | 14:14 |
| tomreyn | andy555: maybe, hard to tell without seeing it. but i'm probably not going to be able to help you out there. | 14:16 |

| BluesKaj | andy555: is this a uefi machine or a bios | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | andy555: check in nthe uefi bios which mode you're using, if it's legacy then you installed the OS in the uefi mode, if it's eufi then switch to legacy | 14:17 |
| andy555 | blueking: Is UEFI, and both OS are installed in UEFI | 14:18 |
| andy555 | BluesKaj: Is UEFI, and both OS are installed in UEFI | 14:18 |
| BluesKaj | then make sure you're noy in legacy mode, andy555 | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | not | 14:19 |
| andy555 | BluesKaj: Dual boot works pretty well with GRUB, intill I go into BIOS and breaks... | 14:19 |
| andy555 | BluesKaj: It is in UEFI, all settings look ok in bios | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | andy555: ok, try legacy, just to be sure | 14:20 |
| tomreyn | the boot-repair / boot.info output looks as expected to me, except for the part where it states that it does not find grub | 14:27 |
| tomreyn | ...in /dev/sda | 14:28 |
| andy555 | tomreyn: mbr isn't legacy? | 14:30 |

| williphant | I've just switched over to ubuntu from macos | 14:41 |
| Redfoxmoon | :-) | 14:41 |

| fatalmojo | hey guys, so I have a couple domain names, and I just rented a vps, and I'm wondering, what would I need in order to set up a mail server? I am looking into postfix but do I need anything else? | 14:42 |
| php | "Hey! One of my clients is having an issue with their server (Ubuntu 14.04). It boots but no longer accepts any SSH connections (Connection Refused)." | 14:42 |
| php | "We booted into their rescue OS (it's an OVH server, we used rescue-pro), mounted /dev/sda2 to /mnt, chrooted to that, then allowed port 22 via ufw. We also used update-rc.d to start SSH on boot." | 14:42 |
| php | "When we went back to the OS, SSH still wasn't accepting connections." | 14:43 |
| php | fatalmojo, incoming and outgoing, or one of them? | 14:43 |
| fatalmojo | php: both | 14:43 |
| Redfoxmoon | php, well I'd confirm the changes were actually saved | 14:44 |
| php | fatalmojo, dovecot & postfix maybe | 14:44 |
| fatalmojo | php: okay, thanks | 14:44 |
| php | Redfoxmoon, they were. Booting back into RescueOS confirms that | 14:44 |
| Redfoxmoon | php, o_O very strange | 14:44 |
| php | I somewhat want to just reinstall their server, but they're not completely happy with the thought of doing that even if they still have their data :P | 14:45 |
| Redfoxmoon | php, perhaps the ufw changes didn't go through to iptables? | 14:45 |
| php | Redfoxmoon, http://i.imgur.com/BkbRO73.png | 14:45 |
| Redfoxmoon | x_x ok I am stumped :( | 14:46 |
| php | If I disable iptables on boot, does that block all connections or allow all? | 14:46 |
| Redfoxmoon | I think it should allow all connections | 14:47 |
| Redfoxmoon | although don't quote me on it:-) | 14:47 |
| ruby32_ | speaking of iptables, what is the favored way of persisting iptables settings on reboot? | 14:48 |
| php | Too bad, quoting you on it. Removing iptables from startup ;) | 14:48 |
| php | "it should allow all connections" | 14:50 |
| php | - Redfoxmoon, 2017 | 14:50 |
| Redfoxmoon | :-) | 14:50 |
| php | Takes 10 minutes to reboot the server with Kimsufi | 14:50 |
| php | :( | 14:50 |
| Redfoxmoon | ruby32_, here I've just got a shell script with the rules running on boot, heh | 14:51 |
| ruby32_ | Redfoxmoon, that seems like a simple and straightforward way to go, is it discouraged? | 14:51 |
| ruby32_ | seems like it would work | 14:51 |
| Redfoxmoon | No clue if it's discouraged or not, but it works so I don't care :-) | 14:52 |
| php | ssh: connect to host xx.xxx.xxx.xx port 22: Connection refused | 14:52 |

| poco_ | BlackFate, cool I'll try that | 15:14 |
| BlackFate | poco, (with sudo) | 15:14 |
| poco_ | BlackFate, just got a bunch of permission denied responses | 15:14 |
| poco_ | ran it as sudo | 15:15 |
| AppAraat | for people running 16.04, could you please run "play -n synth whitenoise gain -6" (it just outputs white noise, so you might want to turn down your speakers, also it requires sox to be installed) | 15:15 |
| AppAraat | I'm asking this because here it is erroring out and I wanted to see if other people had the same problem | 15:16 |
| poco_ | BlackFate, chmod'ing it does the same | 15:17 |
| theoceaniscool | poco_, check with 'ls -la ./poco' who is the directory owner/group | 15:17 |
| BlackFate | poco_, maybe some weird smb permissions going on here. Is this is a windows share? | 15:17 |
| poco_ | theoceaniscool, poco is the owner on everything | 15:18 |
| poco_ | BlackFate, yes it is an SMB share on FreeNAS | 15:18 |
| theoceaniscool | poco_, and poco has r permissions? | 15:18 |
| poco_ | theoceaniscool, looks like it https://paste.ubuntu.com/24441430/ | 15:19 |
| theoceaniscool | AppAraat, 16.04 here, it does not give errors, but it does not output any sound either | 15:20 |
| AppAraat | great, that probably means Ubuntu's sound system has been messed up again. | 15:21 |
| Boreeas | Hi, I'm trying to get a steam game server running on 14.04. Installed steamcmd the manual way, but when I start the server I get "SteamAPI_Init() failed; Sys_LoadModule failed to load: /home/boreeas/.steam/sdk64/steamclient.so" | 15:21 |
| kbob | AppAraat: is speaker-test working properly? | 15:22 |
| Boreeas | Problem is, sdk64 is symlinked to the steamcmd install dir, but steamcmd only came with a linux32 folder, no linux64 | 15:22 |

| tomreyn | bilb_ono: it depends on your mainboard and its firmware the BIOS / UEFI. usually, if you know your mainboard model you can search the web and will find documentation explaining how to access its configuration. | 15:51 |
| bilb_ono | tomreyn: thanks. I may have to resort to that. I am considering just reformatting my computer. since installing nvidia drivers, it can’t launch x | 15:52 |

| tomreyn | bilb_ono: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#Troubleshooting | 15:55 |

| tomreyn | bilb_ono: alternatively try: sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name | 15:58 |
| ikonia | I personally don't like the upgrade process, but it's possible | 15:58 |
| sim642 | I don't like it either because there's a tendency for things to still go wrong | 15:58 |

| andrew987 | Hello. I reinstalled GRUB with Boot-Repair. What are all these line that showed up on my boot list?? http://pasteboard.co/7OikLwr4K.png | 16:45 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: that's something boot-repair added, you can remove it | 16:48 |
| vovova | how do I monitor my DNS requests? Some websites load normal for me, whereas others are taking forever, I suspect DNS is the issue | 16:48 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Thank You Eric | 16:48 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: type "grep ^ /etc/grub.d/* | nc termbin.com 9999" | 16:48 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: What is that? | 16:49 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: there's a file it adds in that dir i think | 16:49 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: type that in the terminal? | 16:49 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: it'll show the files and content and pastebin it and give a link, yes | 16:49 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: http://termbin.com/utik | 16:50 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: they're coming from /etc/grub.d/33_custom_proxy and 35_custom_proxy | 16:52 |
| EriC^^ | if you wanna disable them, type sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/{33,35}_custom_proxy | 16:53 |
| EriC^^ | then sudo update-grub | 16:53 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: What does that command? | 16:53 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: it removes executable bit for both files | 16:53 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: are those files useless? | 16:54 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: i dont have them they seem related to "proxified" somehow, but the files in them are useless, just all the .efi files picked up | 16:54 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: done | 16:55 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: hopefully is all ok | 16:56 |
| vovova | how do I monitor my DNS requests? Some websites load normal for me, whereas others are taking forever, I suspect DNS is the issue | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: updated grub? | 16:56 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Yes, done too | 16:56 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: aha cool | 16:57 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Can I remove all those lines from the boot list? | 16:57 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: and leave the common 4 lines with OS | 16:57 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: which ones are left? | 16:57 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I opened grub customizer and they are still there | 16:58 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: The one in the picture | 16:58 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: try "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg | nc termbin.com 9999" | 16:58 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: http://termbin.com/zfx2 | 16:59 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: from here seems ok | 16:59 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: maybe grub customizer need reboot | 16:59 |

| === mohi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy | ||
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Eric, I'd like to have your opinion on a unexpainable and terrible issue | 17:00 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: If I enter BIOS settings or Boot Menu when starting PC (by pressing F2 for bios or F12 for boot menu), then GRUB permanently disappears and windows 10 starts | 17:01 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: The only way to retrieve Ubuntu and GRUB is to plug the USB Live and run boot-repair to reinstall GRUB | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: bad uefi implementation, it's very common, there's a work around though | 17:02 |
| EriC^^ | which laptop/desktop manufacturer? i like to know this stuff | 17:02 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Acer Aspire E5-575G laptop | 17:02 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Is a terrible issue and I'm going crazy | 17:03 |
| === anon is now known as Guest91924 | ||
| EriC^^ | andrew987: acer have some kind of "trust" option in the bios, it might help without a workaround, did you enable it for ubuntu? | 17:03 |
| andrew987 | EriC^ | 17:03 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I saw something in the BIOS settings | 17:03 |
| EriC^^ | (you need to set the bios admin password to get the option to appear) | 17:03 |
| === ahoneybun_ is now known as ahoneybun | ||
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I have to check, there are a couple settings about this in the security windows in boot settings | 17:04 |
| poco_ | BlackFate, yes. I ssh'd in and removed it with sudo | 17:04 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: do you think that could be related to the issue? | 17:04 |
| EriC^^ | try to set the admin pass and see if it appears and if you can trust the ubuntu efi | 17:04 |
| poco_ | BlackFate, thanks for the help! | 17:05 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: i think it's a bad implementation, some laptops reset the uefi list, you dont need boot-repair | 17:05 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Yes, I already set a supervisor pass to disable secure boot and I saw that some option were accessible | 17:05 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: those option too if I recall correctly | 17:05 |
| EriC^^ | if you do f12 and choose the ubuntu efi file and boot ubuntu, then you can use efibootmgr to set ubuntu first before windows | 17:05 |
| === burrito is now known as Guest62520 | ||
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I never saw Ubuntu in any boot list, not in the BIOS nor in the boot menu | 17:06 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I only see Windows Boot Manager | 17:06 |
| EriC^^ | oh | 17:06 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: aside from GRUB menu, where obviously I see Ubuntu | 17:06 |
| EriC^^ | you can do it from a live usb | 17:06 |
| EriC^^ | try now, sudo efibootmgr -v | 17:06 |
| EriC^^ | you'll see a list of the uefi entries and a boot order at the top | 17:07 |

| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohi | ||
| EriC^^ | andrew987: ok ubuntu is first right now, windows second | 17:09 |
| EriC^^ | you can try disabling windows completely | 17:09 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Ubuntu first? I though I set Windows first | 17:09 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: when I start pc | 17:09 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Should be set that way from grub customizer | 17:10 |
| EriC^^ | no i mean the grub vs windows | 17:10 |
| EriC^^ | grub vs windows boot manager | 17:11 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Ahh | 17:11 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: You mean it starts GRUB instead of Win10 | 17:11 |
| === Mohi is now known as IAmNotThatGuy | ||
| EriC^^ | yeah | 17:11 |
| EriC^^ | try the "trust" option in the bios see if it appears or helps, if not try to disable the windows entry | 17:12 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: How is even possible that just entering the bios settings (without changing anything) it mess up everything? | 17:12 |
| EriC^^ | sudo efibootmgr -A -b 0001 | 17:12 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: If I recall there were like 2 or 3 similar options, I have to check because I'm not sure I understand what to do | 17:12 |
| EriC^^ | if that doesn't work you can switch the efi files of ubuntu and windows, to trick the bios, but disabling the entry usually does it | 17:12 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: ok, check the options, report back if you need help | 17:13 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: heh, is funny because once I check the options I won't be able to access ubuntu | 17:13 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: because GRUB will disappear lol | 17:13 |
| EriC^^ | ah right :D | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | do you have a live usb? | 17:14 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Yes, but ((other issue)) sometimes I have a hardtime in getting the USB recognized | 17:14 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: Some times with F12 boot menu it doesn't show up | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: ok, should we go full nuke on it then? | 17:14 |
| EriC^^ | just switch the files? | 17:14 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: hahaha | 17:14 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: which files? | 17:15 |
| EriC^^ | bootmgfw.efi and shimx64.efi | 17:15 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: btw what is shimx64? | 17:15 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: I saw it when using boot-repair | 17:15 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: it downloaded it I think | 17:15 |
| EriC^^ | it's the efi file for ubuntu with secureboot signature | 17:15 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: when you say switch files what do you mean exactly? | 17:16 |
| EriC^^ | make a backup of the bootmgfw.efi , copy over the ubuntu one and rename it, then edit grub's os-prober to look for the backed up bootmgfw.efi | 17:17 |
| mikeymop | can someone explain to me where the phpmyadmin package is installing too? | 17:17 |
| mikeymop | even the official install documentation says to use the ubuntu repos | 17:17 |
| EriC^^ | mikeymop: dpkg -L phpmyadmin shows the list of files | 17:17 |

| nbro | Hi! | 17:24 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: anyway, what I have to do next is check those bios options | 17:24 |
| nbro | What’s the shortcut to close the current opened application? | 17:24 |
| dannnyxn | do you know where to watch mr robor online season 2? | 17:24 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: but im still trying to figure out how can simply log into bios mess up the booting | 17:25 |
| mihajlo | jhv | 17:25 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: it might be fixed now just with disabling the windows entry, btw if you ever need to re enable it do sudo efibootmgr -a -b 0001 | 17:25 |
| EriC^^ | like if you remove ubuntu | 17:25 |
| thundeer | nbro, ctrl+x. but depends on your desktop env or wm | 17:25 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: did I disabled windows? meaning I wont see it at next reboot? | 17:25 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: it's probably a hardwired mechanism, when you enter it it just resets the uefi list, it's dirty of the manufacturer | 17:25 |
| EriC^^ | at least if there's no other option to keep it that's clear | 17:26 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: just the windows boot manager | 17:26 |
| thundeer | nbro, did that work? | 17:27 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: what does that command do? -a -b 0001? | 17:27 |
| EriC^^ | it enables the entry 0001 | 17:27 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: enables in what sense? | 17:27 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: (im trying to understand what im doing) | 17:28 |
| EriC^^ | in the sense that the uefi doesn't ignore it | 17:28 |
| nbro | thundeer: no, it doesn’t work, how do I retrieve whic windows manager do I have? | 17:28 |
| nbro | I’ve looked at the wmctrl -m command | 17:28 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: before or after grub starts? | 17:28 |
| nbro | the output shows the name to be Compiz | 17:28 |
| EriC^^ | before.. | 17:28 |
| thundeer | nbro, you are mostly likely on unity, gnome, mate or kde | 17:28 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: i.e. will windows show up at next restart on grub list? | 17:28 |
| thundeer | nbro, in setting -> system you can see it if in doubt. | 17:29 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: If I disabled it, if something happen to grub then this time windows wont show up, right? | 17:29 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: right | 17:30 |
| thundeer | nbro, try Alt+f4 | 17:30 |
| nbro | yes, I’m using unity | 17:31 |
| nbro | yes, Alt+F4 works ;) | 17:31 |
| nbro | thanks! | 17:31 |
| nbro | another question | 17:31 |
| nbro | does anyone know a shortcut to show all workspaces/desktops? | 17:31 |
| thundeer | nbro, no prop. good to hear. nd use HTOP if it refuses to go away | 17:32 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: maybe i should read a guide on efibootmgr | 17:32 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: im having a hard time understanding what i've done | 17:32 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: maybe for security I type back sudo efibootmgr -a -b 001 | 17:32 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: to have at least 1 OS booting if grub disappear | 17:32 |
| wad | I updated my web server (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), and it bumped PHP to version 5.5.9. Unfortunately, the version of mediawiki it runs only works up to PHP 5.5.8. I need to update mediawiki, but to do that, I need to back up PHP to 5.5.8. I've tried a couple of things, but just managed to break it. I fixed it again, but maybe I'm googling the wrong advice. Thoughts? | 17:32 |
| EriC^^ | andrew987: yeah to undo it type sudo efibootmgr -a -b 0001 | 17:33 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: basically that command remove and re-add the boot 0001 from the possible PC startup? | 17:33 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: boot 0001 being windows | 17:33 |
| wkoszek | wad: in theory, if the mediawiki is packaged correctly, i think uninstalling php and mediawiki, and then doing apt-get install mediawiki should work. in theory it should fetch the correct php version | 17:34 |
| EriC^^ | yes it enables it | 17:34 |
| thundeer | wad, if its your own webserver, you wouldnt be asking the question, so im guessing its a shared host? | 17:34 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: is there a command to see a grub boot list like in grub customizer? | 17:34 |
| wad | wkoszek, okay. There are other apps on it that use php. It's my own server. | 17:34 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: where it displays what are the choices and what is selected now | 17:35 |
| wad | I think what I'd like to do is install a slightly older version of PHP. | 17:35 |
| wad | Just temporarily. | 17:35 |
| php | No | 17:35 |
| php | Don't do it | 17:35 |
| EriC^^ | gtg andrew987 sorry | 17:35 |
| php | wad the new me is better I promise | 17:36 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: ok. see ya | 17:36 |
| andrew987 | EriC^^: thank you for your help | 17:36 |
| * wad is confused. "the new me is better"? | 17:36 | |
| thundeer | wad, why not update your wiki? | 17:36 |
| php | wad my name is php | 17:37 |
| php | the new php is better | 17:37 |
| wad | So mediawiki has an updater built in, if I recall correctly. I can't run it, the whole thing is broken because I have PHP 5.5.9 instead of PHP 5.5.8. My thought is to back it up, just long enough to update mediawiki. | 17:37 |
| wad | php: Ahhhhhh! Got it. :) | 17:38 |
| wad | Then, once I've updated mediawiki, I'll put it back to the OS-supported version. | 17:39 |
| thundeer | wad, tar your mediawiki, fetch the database, run in locally, fix the update, and put it back on the server. | 17:39 |
| wad | That's a good idea. | 17:39 |
| wad | Then I don't have to mess with PHP on the server. | 17:40 |
| thundeer | wad, ;) | 17:40 |
| wkoszek | has anyone tried to create a private apt repository on one of the 16.x releases? i'm having trouble around the repo not being a autheticated repo | 17:43 |
| wkoszek | i'm reading the tutorials around the internet and guys report success without using gpg at all, but I guess that doesn't work anymore | 17:43 |
| thundeer | not fair. asking a repo question like that. And I cant get help with my ssh config file :( | 17:44 |
| wkoszek | wad: just apt-get install php5=<version> | 17:44 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: what's your ssh config problem? | 17:44 |
| wad | That works?! | 17:45 |
| wkoszek | wad: https://askubuntu.com/questions/778407/how-to-install-a-specific-package-version | 17:45 |
| wad | E: Version '5.5.8' for 'php5' was not found | 17:46 |
| wad | I'm going to look into this more. | 17:46 |
| ducasse | wad: it only works for versions available in your repo sources | 17:48 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, I feel so embaressed now. I forgot to save the file when i exited vim. wow. I feel stupid. | 17:48 |
| wad | Ah! I just need to add that, then... | 17:48 |
| sinthetek | since upgrading from 16.04 i keep getting notification sounds but i cannot find any sign of notices (through osd, system tray or /var/log). this issue has persisted both with unity and plasma. any ideas how i can track down the source of the issue? | 17:48 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, it works now :) well.. question. i rename the config file, and have then in my .ssh folder. do you use subfolders for your keys? is saltstack something i should learn when i get more clients? | 17:49 |
| sinthetek | i suspect something has gone awry in my hardware but unsure how to go about pinpointing it... i mostly use an older laptop and the only attached device is an hdmi monitor through a displayport adapter | 17:50 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, also.. is setting up ssh keys for all active container on the same docker droplet a bad idea? | 17:50 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: i just use maybe 4 SSH key file, so I'm perhaps I'm a bad person for this. | 17:50 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: not sure. you're asking something that isn't very specific, so it's hard to answer this stuff. | 17:52 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, okay. thanks. so for now it looks right. naming the keys, in .ssh folder, and using a config file. | 17:53 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: pretty much. I stick them there and use a script I wrote: https://github.com/wkoszek/lastpass-ssh | 17:56 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: this is to unlock the keys, since all of them have passphrases | 17:56 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, wow. thanks. so.... your method adds an extra level of security in that way? a master password to unlock all your keys, and from there you use ssh "hostname" (the config file)???? | 18:00 |
| grantwu | I can't easily come up with a security model in which this is better than just using the same password for all of your key files | 18:02 |
| wkoszek | thundeer: yes. I have: alias Sen='/Users/wkoszek/r/lastpass-ssh/bin/lastpass-ssh --keys-path=/Users/wkoszek/r/dot.ssh.wkoszek/' It unlocks all my keys with respective passwords stored in lastpass. | 18:03 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, Thats clever. I will try to get your script up'n running :) | 18:05 |
| thundeer | wkoszek, Terminator 2 :D | 18:05 |
| wkoszek | grantwu: lets say I give you 5 ssh files. you take one of them and run a dictionary attack on it, and you succeed. ops. | 18:05 |
| grantwu | Use a long enough password such that it's not feasibl. | 18:05 |
| grantwu | *feasible. | 18:05 |
| grantwu | If it's feasible for an attacker to do that once, it's feasible for an attacker to do it 5 times. | 18:06 |
| === ifro_ is now known as workfro | ||
| sinthetek | hdmi/displayport officially ruled out as the culprit. i guess i can just disable notification sounds indefinitely but i kinda need to know what's triggering it | 18:06 |
| thundeer | grantwu, in the real world most people are a bit lazy and use a kurwa password. so its a good idea with a master password. | 18:07 |
| grantwu | or, you can use the same strong password on all your SSH keys... the reason this doesn't hold up for website passwords is because you cannot trust the website to store your password properly. Presumably you trust OpenSSH to do things properly. | 18:08 |
| === Xenophon1 is now known as XenophonF | ||
| wkoszek | to me it's just a matter on how convenient i want it to be, and how big risk i want to take. and since i'm ok with using lastpass' command line client, i can as well use different passphrases, since it doesn't cost me anything. | 18:10 |
| thundeer | grantwu, but i thought the password is for the rsa only, and not for the rsa.pub? | 18:10 |
| grantwu | thundeer: Yes | 18:11 |
| thundeer | grantwu, " you cannot trust the website to store your password properly. Presumably you trust OpenSSH to do things properly.". Sorry, i didnt understand that part. | 18:12 |
| grantwu | Some websites do bad things like storing your website in plaintext, or using weak password hashing algorithms, etc. Even if they don't now, the website could be compromised in the future | 18:13 |
| * wkoszek <- lazy. doesn't want to be typing any passwords. tried to find methods to use tools for password management. | 18:13 | |
| grantwu | If an attacker can get the password from that website, you don't want the attacker to be able to use that password for any other logins. | 18:13 |
| grantwu | With SSH keys, this isn't a problem, because there's no remote service. Theoretically an attacker could keylog your system, but that's already a game-over scenario. | 18:14 |
| grantwu | I just use ssh-agent *shrug* | 18:14 |
| thundeer | grantwu, i dont follow. you mean if lastpast gets hacked on the local machine? | 18:15 |
| grantwu | thundeer: Er, no, I'm not talking about a workflow involving LastPass at all | 18:15 |
| grantwu | I'm explaining why you want different passwords for every website, and why that rationale doesn't cleanly transfer to SSH keys | 18:15 |
| thundeer | grantwu, bash history or a keylogger would be the only security risk then, to gain access to lastpass? | 18:17 |
| grantwu | I doubt bash history will store passwords entered | 18:17 |
| grantwu | A keylogger is a pretty complete compromise regardless of whether or not you use LastPass | 18:18 |

| thundeer | grantwu, okay. did some reading. guess it depends on the level of paranoia. | 18:25 |
| theToolman | the whole world is paranoid right now. | 18:26 |
| thundeer | theToolman, see.. you were there listening all along :D | 18:27 |
| theToolman | lol as usual | 18:27 |
| theToolman | had to come over to my other desktop to see the status of an rsync and i saw yall talking that bs | 18:27 |
| theToolman | ahhhhhh | 18:28 |
| thundeer | well.. I was considering just using ccrypt for the .ssh folder, but I didnt dare to mention it. | 18:28 |
| theToolman | the one fucking hdd that i wanted to recover data from has a bad superblock :( | 18:28 |
| theToolman | why do you need to crypt your ssh folder? | 18:29 |
| thundeer | theToolman, was thinking of wkoszekś script to use lastpass to store passwords for the rs keys. | 18:29 |
| wkoszek | to be honest i think i'm rather protecting my password from myself. e.g.: i'm talking on #ubuntu in one iterm window, and logging in to my box in another and if I need to type anything, there's a risk of confusing windows | 18:30 |
| theToolman | tmux | 18:30 |
| theToolman | try it | 18:30 |

| thundeer | theToolman, noted. thanks for tips :) | 18:36 |

| theToolman | whats the FS of the drive you're trying to crack open | 18:37 |
| theToolman | thundeer: whats the FS of the disk you're trying to crack? | 18:38 |
| thundeer | theToolman, ext4. just used it for quick backups. last time it went wrong. several important files contain bad block. I know which ones. | 18:38 |
| theToolman | well the bad block is on the FS level and not the file level | 18:39 |
| thundeer | theToolman, oh.. bummer :( | 18:39 |
| theToolman | but still, an fsck -f should be able to fix it if its ext4 | 18:40 |
| theToolman | lol it came right up on my mac | 18:40 |
| theToolman | hahahaha | 18:40 |
| thundeer | theToolman, okay. so I just have to leave it running through the night then. It just seemed to take forever, so I stopped it, and hoped for different solution. | 18:41 |

| ppf | IronDev: why | 21:07 |
| IronDev | ppf: Do you know where I can find the checksum | 21:07 |

| YankDownUnder | When a CD/DVD isn't working: 1.) Check the integrity of the ISO 2.) Check the blank for scratches 3.) Clean the laser/read head 4.) Check if AV might be running (Windows) -> ain't much else. | 21:11 |

| sim642 | I wanted to upgrade xubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and now I'm getting a screenful of packages listed and the text: "Processing was halted because there were too many errors." | 21:35 |
| sim642 | https://paste.ubuntu.com/24443966/ | 21:36 |
| linuxwheels | sim642: try running sudo apt-get -f install | 21:38 |
| sim642 | Same stuff | 21:38 |
| sim642 | it's full of dependency problems | 21:38 |
| sim642 | This might be the root cause: | 21:39 |
| sim642 | dpkg: error processing package udev (--configure): | 21:39 |
| sim642 | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 21:39 |
| linuxwheels | sim642: try running sudo dpkg --configure -a ? | 21:39 |
| ppf | you probably messed up your apt with some ppa | 21:39 |
| YankDownUnder | sim642: Do you have any devices connected that you might be able to disconnect? Not critical devices, obviously...just asking... | 21:39 |
| === cadfair is now known as a_ryan | ||

| theToolman | >>>>> ~hi@guerillapunk.backtraced.yo.ass.from.inside.ur.seriesoftub.es] | 21:42 |
| sim642 | ppf, messed up how? I just ran do-release-upgrade | 21:42 |
| sim642 | YankDownUnder, why? | 21:42 |
| ppf | sim642: at some point before that, did you ever add a ppa? | 21:43 |
| sim642 | I have added many yes, why? | 21:43 |
| YankDownUnder | sim642: Logic - udev affects devices (drives peripherals and more) - sometimes it causes an issue. Happened to a machine I had to upgrade. Either which, you're at a point of not being able to back out - yes? | 21:44 |
| ppf | sim642: because that brings the danger of severely tripping up apt | 21:44 |
| ppf | as you're experiencing right now | 21:44 |
| sim642 | Doesn't the upgrade procedure disable other sources? It says something like that at the start | 21:45 |
| linuxwheels | ppa's can cause things to break | 21:45 |
| ppf | it's not about the sources, but the installed packages | 21:45 |
| YankDownUnder | sim642: Nah - it doesn't disable them at all. Always a good idea to comment them out before doing a system upgrade (release upgrade) | 21:45 |
| ppf | YankDownUnder: yes it does | 21:46 |
| ppf | but that's not the point | 21:46 |
| theToolman | agree with YankDownUnder | 21:46 |
| sim642 | is there anywhere i can see why that udev postinstall script fails? | 21:46 |
| ppf | sim642: run dpkg again, but increase debug output | 21:47 |
| === myfaain is now known as b_ryan | ||
| ppf | sim642: where does it say postinst though? | 21:47 |
| ppf | that wasn't in your paste | 21:48 |
| sim642 | I copied two lines right after the paste into this chat | 21:48 |
| ppf | right, must have missed that | 21:48 |
| sim642 | There's a massive screenful of all the listed packages failing because of udev dependency or something | 21:48 |
| sim642 | udev one being the first one with that postinst error | 21:48 |
| ppf | okay then, as i said | 21:49 |
| ppf | configure udev with dpkg, but with debug enabled | 21:49 |
| === jstein_ is now known as jstein | ||
| sim642 | Oh, actually the line before the error might be it: addgroup: The group `input' already exists and is not a system group. Exiting. | 21:50 |

| sim642 | Not really, this machine is a mess, it has been upgraded before with problems too to 14.04 from idk what | 21:56 |
| sim642 | I should someday probably do a clean install to replace this | 21:57 |
| sim642 | I had avoided upgrading it as long as possible to avoid potential upgrade problems :P | 21:57 |
| YankDownUnder | sim642: Safe to assume 12.04 to 14.04 and now to 16.04...? | 21:57 |
| theToolman | sim642: i agree. fresh image is always best | 21:58 |
| linuxwheels | sim642: if the machine is not critical I would clean install | 21:58 |

| YankDownUnder | sim642: As "procedure" - for ME, and I can only speak IMHO, I *only* upgrade servers...desktops are always "fresh" installations...I do an audit on the workstation, obviously - for all the applications/data/bullsh*t - but fresh. Servers are truly a different kettle of fish... | 21:59 |

| poco_ | it sends it to EXAMPLE@gmail.com just fine but I don't want it to CC Daily@gmail.com. Also it's sending with (no subject) | 22:39 |
| theToolman | yeah thats weird because i'm seeing it to work how you thought it should | 22:39 |

| kul | im sharing an owncloud folder | 22:46 |
| theToolman | i am not sure what that is | 22:46 |
| kul | its just a folder in ubuntu. I tried sharing it by right clicking and clicking local network share i get an error of 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. The connection was refused. Maybe smbd is not running. | 22:48 |
| kul | thats probably because samba fails to start | 22:49 |
| theToolman | is this in windows? | 22:49 |
| kul | no ubuntu | 22:49 |
| kul | i use the command sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart to start samba | 22:49 |

| Lupus | Hello guys! Can you help me with something? I want to install a patch for shellinabox. I want to white-on-black style, but I don't know how to install that patch... https://code.google.com/archive/p/shellinabox/issues/24 | 22:53 |

| skinux | What is the latest email client? I believe Thunderbird is out-dated and not supported. | 22:53 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: How is Virtualbox connected with the situation you're having - I'm just wondering... | 22:54 |
| Lupus | Can you help me guys? | 22:54 |
| kul | im just running ubuntu inside the virtualbox | 22:54 |
| kul | virtual box is running on windows | 22:54 |
| theToolman | so you're trying to share with your windows? | 22:55 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Right. So Ubu is inside a VM...and you're running VB on a Windows host. And you're wanting to "share" something in between the Windows host and the Ubuntu guest, yes? | 22:55 |
| kul | yes | 22:56 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Simpler way: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/SharedFolders | 22:56 |
| kul | i want to share a folder in ubuntu with windows | 22:57 |
| kul | not the other way around | 22:57 |
| kul | if that makes sense | 22:57 |
| Lupus | YankDownUnder, can you help me? | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | Lupus: why not use the custom style sheet approach? | 22:58 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Then you want to double check the network settings for the VM, double check (triple check) that Samba is setup and configured correctly in the VM (Ubuntu), make sure that the Samba service in the VM is not conflicting with the VB extentions (as it would appear they were), turn off the firewall in Ubuntu (not really needed) and try again... | 22:58 |
| Lupus | How? | 22:58 |
| Lupus | tomreyn, how? | 22:58 |
| Lupus | I can't apply them. | 22:58 |
| tomreyn | Lupus: the way the last comment on the bug tracker you linked to suggests | 22:59 |
| Lupus | ? | 22:59 |
| Lupus | shellinaboxd --user-css and? | 23:00 |
| kul | how do i check that samba setup is configured correctly | 23:00 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Here's somethign to read through: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/samba-server-ubuntu-16-04/ | 23:01 |
| tomreyn | Lupus: then you supply a custom CSS file | 23:01 |
| Lupus | Yeah. | 23:02 |
| Lupus | I tried.. | 23:02 |
| Lupus | But I don't have interent now. | 23:02 |
| kul | ok thanks ill take a look | 23:02 |
| Lupus | I don't know why I wasn't disconnected. | 23:02 |

| platz | so I deleted all my kernels by accident, then via live-usb reinstalled linux-image-generic and linux-image-extra so I can boot back into ubuntu again, but now wifi drivers are not detected and startx fails with 'no screens' (reinstalled nvidia-375 too). any ideas? | 23:02 |
| Lupus | Okay.. I DON'T HAVE INTERNET! | 23:03 |
| Lupus | Skype, no internet, browser too. | 23:03 |

| platz | how do i reinstall wifi drivers when they are not detected? | 23:11 |
| kul | is there something where i can completly remove samba from ubuntu and re install it back in | 23:11 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Open a terminal. Run the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install ==> tell me what happens, eh? | 23:11 |
| kul | ok | 23:11 |
| orlock | I'm having an odd problem on both 14.04.2 LTS and 17.04 where my desktop becomes unresponsive after a minute or two | 23:12 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Can you get to tty1? | 23:12 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: Yes, but not after it locks up | 23:12 |
| orlock | and if i do so, it seems to prevent the lockup from occuring | 23:12 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: So it completely LOCKS - end of story, eh? | 23:12 |
| orlock | i did that, did an apt-get update, etc, still occurs with updated 14.04lts | 23:13 |
| zhanx | orlock: check your ram brother | 23:13 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: mouse moves, desktop is non responsive | 23:13 |
| orlock | zhanx: win7 has never shown a hiccup | 23:13 |

| orlock | zhanx: i've spent something like 6 hours over the weekend trying to get linux working on a computer | 23:14 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Something to consider - as a test, disable any screamsavers (screensaver), check the energy/power settings - make even a minor change - doesn't matter - or disable them...check the BIOS settings for any "sleep" configuration(s) for the HDD's... | 23:14 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: Cheers, will give it a try | 23:14 |
| orlock | you suspect ACPI related issues? | 23:15 |
| zhanx | i think its the desktop enviroment | 23:15 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Firstly, get rid of the "deadsnakes" PPA...secondly, now that you've done that, do: sudo dpkg --reconfigure samba | 23:15 |
| orlock | It's weird, i've got a stack of systems. Can't get linux working reliably on one | 23:16 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Could be ACPI or the desktop (graphics driver?)(overload on the GPU?) => as well, is the machine running a bit "hot"? Could be that the GPU/CPU are overheating a bit...either which, things to check out... | 23:16 |
| zhanx | orlock you know how to list running processing to see which is taking all the fun out of it? | 23:17 |
| orlock | Nah, not hot, it's not doing anything | 23:17 |
| orlock | zhanx: when it locks, there's nothing i can do | 23:17 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: "Stack of systems" - plus "can't get linux running reliably on one" => possible P.E.B.C.A.K. error? :) | 23:17 |
| kul | Yank for the sudo dpkg --reconfigure samba <-- what am i suppose to put for reconfigure samba | 23:18 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Ok...on both systems - the 14.04 and the 17.04, why not completley disable the power manager and see if that has an impact on the situation - along with disabling screensavers and all that lovely jazz...something to test...something to "take a first step" with, eh? | 23:18 |
| zhanx | orlock you can run htop in a terminal to watch it | 23:18 |
| kul | cause when i enter that command i get a list of dpkg commands to input | 23:18 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Just that. | 23:18 |
| zhanx | sudo apt-get install htop and then htop | 23:19 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Sorry...hang on a tick | 23:19 |
| kul | ok | 23:19 |
| kul | np | 23:19 |
| orlock | Ok, disabled some stuff in the bios. I doubt it would be screensaver, as it's never been idle for it to kick in | 23:19 |
| zhanx | orlock: hit me up in robotics if you still got issues in a bit | 23:20 |
| orlock | zhanx: yup | 23:20 |
| orlock | It's just such a stupid problem | 23:20 |
| orlock | i havent had to deal with this sort of stuff in 20 years or so | 23:20 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: sudo dpkg-reconfigure --force samba | 23:21 |
| kul | ok | 23:22 |
| kul | YankDownUnder http://paste.ubuntu.com/24444554/ | 23:22 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: Where abouts down under are you? | 23:23 |
| mcphail | orlock: does the i8kutils package help you? It adds temp sensors and fan control for some dell laptops | 23:23 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Far out, bro...right...well, something to consider - removing samba and rebooting the VM and starting again, eh? | 23:24 |
| orlock | mcphail: Pretty sure it's not related to the environment/temperature | 23:24 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Outside of Sydney | 23:24 |
| kul | yes | 23:24 |
| kul | how would i completly remove samba | 23:25 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Did this every work BEFORE? | 23:25 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: sunny melbun here | 23:25 |
| kul | yes | 23:25 |
| kul | it worked | 23:25 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: sudo apt-get remove samba | 23:25 |
| kul | and i did something and it stopped working | 23:25 |
| kul | ok | 23:25 |
| orlock | Since i disabled some power settings in the bios it seems stable | 23:25 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Mexico. Right oh. Yo hablo Espanol poquito...(ha...yeah...freezing cold down there...) | 23:26 |
| orlock | Well, it hasnt locked up _yet_ | 23:26 |
| kul | ok ill reboot it now | 23:26 |
| YankDownUnder | orlock: Going to take a trip to St. Kilde sometime in the next few months...then down yonder to Port Fairy and the beginning of the Great Ocean Road...for giggles and grins. | 23:26 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: If i was coming down from Syd to Melb to go sight seeing, i dont know if St Kilda is where i'd go, unless i had some very specific tastes... | 23:27 |
| kul | ok Yank and to install samba back the command is ? | 23:27 |
| orlock | YankDownUnder: and if that was your thing, you have Kings Cross in sydney... | 23:27 |

| YankDownUnder | ..meanwhile, back at the ranch... | 23:30 |
| kul | YankDownUnder: to re install samba which command would i use | 23:30 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: First, do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt -y autoremove && sudo apt -y autoclean =>>> after that, do: sudo apt-get -y install samba | 23:31 |

| ritztech | anyone know about doing a dd to convert to vmdk image on a live system | 23:37 |
| orlock | ritztech: from a physical system? | 23:37 |
| ritztech | ya | 23:37 |
| orlock | ritztech: you want p2v | 23:37 |
| kul | ok | 23:37 |
| orlock | there's a vmware tool that will do it for you in a straight forwards way | 23:37 |
| ritztech | i tried it for 4 hours and i did nc and reciever but it seemed to show operation system not found | 23:37 |
| IronDev | I just installed AMD Graphics drivers | 23:38 |
| orlock | ritztech: p2v = physical to virtual, there's migration tools that make it very very simple | 23:38 |
| IronDev | and for some reason I'm getting a menu | 23:38 |
| ritztech | dd if=/dev/sdb conv=noerror,sync bs=16M | nc -q 4 10.10.10.10 8194 | 23:38 |
| kul | wait before i go, do i have to use smb? can i use ntfs to share the drive | 23:38 |
| ritztech | and then i had my nc reciever pick it up | 23:38 |
| Redfoxmoon | Is there anything to do about the menus being broken when xforwarding GTK3 apps from ubuntu 17.04? | 23:38 |
| IronDev | telling me to run default graphics, reconfig graphics return to console, and exit | 23:38 |
| IronDev | What should I do? | 23:38 |
| ritztech | wellllllll actually its more v2v lol | 23:38 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: NTFS? That's a file system...not a network protocol. | 23:39 |
| kul | o | 23:39 |
| kul | ok | 23:39 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: The "shared folder" setup *does* allow for two-way sharing, you know...and it's already part of the Virtualbox setup...hmm... | 23:39 |
| kul | i used that but i need to change the owner to www-data | 23:40 |
| kul | if i can do that i would be able to use it | 23:40 |
| ritztech | and then i did a nc reciever i got my 30gb file took 4 hrs but then i imported it into vmware fusion and it says no operiting system found | 23:40 |
| ritztech | qemu-img convert -pO vmdk host.img virthost.vmdk | 23:40 |
| IronDev | First thing my error says is the system is running in low-graphics mode | 23:40 |
| ritztech | but im not sure if i were supposed to get the main physical volume /dev/sdb | 23:41 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Er...hmm... | 23:41 |
| ritztech | or each indepeedent partition | 23:41 |
| ritztech | or would i have to dd of instaed of if | 23:41 |
| bumblefuzz | how do I install/enable the AMD kernel module? | 23:42 |
| kul | YankDownUnder: can i create a folder inside the shared folders and change the owner to www-data | 23:43 |
| kul | of just that folder | 23:43 |
| bumblefuzz | the driver is installed | 23:43 |
| bumblefuzz | I can see it | 23:43 |
| bumblefuzz | but lsmod doesn't indicate the correct kernel module | 23:43 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Should be able to do so - IF the user "www-data" exists | 23:43 |
| kul | it does | 23:43 |
| kul | ill try it out | 23:43 |
| kul | YankDownUnder: to change the owner is this the right command: chown -R www-data:www-data /media/sf_owncloud/ocdata | 23:45 |
| tonyt | every time i reboot i have to unplug and plug back in a usb hard drive. is there a way to fix that? | 23:47 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: Without knowing your setup/configuration (and what you're doing) - that would be about right...but, again, I stress DOUBLE CHECK EVERYTHING...even write down a list if necessary...and then question yourself about process/procedure...(Plan the work, work the plan) know what I mean? | 23:47 |
| kul | ok i know what you mean | 23:48 |
| YankDownUnder | kul: When you're involved in setting up something "complex", it helps. And it keeps things very OBVIOUS in your mind. | 23:49 |
| kul | ok thank you for your help YankDownUnder ill try it out | 23:57 |
