[00:01] hosas: i don't understand what you're asking [00:01] hosas: "if allocate" is not a sentence [00:02] what I meant to ask is as far as my system is concern I can't /var/tmp mounted to tmpfs [00:03] hosas: why not? also it's not the default, so you or your admin changed it [00:03] I guess that has to be allocated manually [00:03] hosas: you don't need any fs mounted at /var/tmp [00:04] when I use mount mount command I can't anything like /var/tmp [00:05] I'm doing some studies I'm new to this [00:05] hosas: i have no idea what you mean, it's very hard to follow [00:05] hosas: what mount command did you try to do? [00:05] that was why I presume it has to be done manually [00:06] "mount" just to see the mounted devices and partitions [00:07] hosas: ok, `mount` doesn't fail given no arguments, it jsut emit soutput [00:07] *emits currently mounted filesystems [00:07] nacc: or is there another way to find out about all mounted partitions [00:07] hosas: please just in one line, very clearly, state what you are trying to do [00:07] yes that's my point [00:08] hosas: what is your point? [00:08] and if /var/tmp is auto mounted it should be there right? [00:09] hosas: if /var/tmp is mounted, it will be printed in `mount`, yes [00:09] hosas: there is no filesystem on /var/tmp by default [00:09] hosas: no mounted partition, imean [00:09] I understand [00:10] so tmpfs /var/tmp in fstab should do it right? [00:10] hosas: that is not a complete fstab line [00:10] I know [00:10] hosas: so no, if you just put 'tmpfs /var/tmp' in fstab it will not work [00:10] hosas: again, just say what you are trying to do [00:10] this is infuriating [00:10] nacc: I know how to edit it fstab [00:11] Oh My [00:11] nacc: sorry [00:11] hosas: you are saying you added an entry to fstab and it isn't mounting? [00:11] hosas: did you either a) reboot or b) run `mount /var/tmp` ? [00:11] hosas: with sudo for b) [00:12] hosas, What exact line did are you adding to fstab ? [00:15] !su | Jack_Sparrow__ [00:15] Jack_Sparrow__, please see my private message [00:19] hello everyone [00:19] my name is patel [00:29] hey everyone [00:29] looking for a some bit of advice [00:29] i am recently installing fresh version of linux ubuntu on my machine [00:29] however i am un able to hear sound output [00:30] how can i trouble shoot these issues that i am having [00:30] please advice [00:30] best regards [00:31] !sound | viper123_ [00:31] viper123_: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [00:31] it is very strange as i can easily hear sound in my windows operating system, however if i un boot windows and re boot to my linux, i am un able to hear the sound [00:32] ubottu: hello thanks for the advice buddy, one question you may answer is where do i click the volume applet? [00:32] viper123_: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [00:32] oh [00:32] Bashing-om: buddy are you playing a game with me [00:33] viper123_: No game, just the best advise I know to offer . [00:33] i need help desperitely [00:33] please someone help me with my sound [00:33] is any one here a audio engineer expert who will help me trouble shoot my sound [00:35] viper123_, did you try the steps the bot just sent you? [00:35] th0r: yes i did trying those things. un fortnetly it did not work, now am seeking the advice of an expert because i believe that a bot is unhelp full. [00:35] viper123_ simply run the command mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1 [00:36] th0r: are you able to help ? please if you take the time, and fix it with grace, i am willing to paypal [00:36] you must first apply your super user root privilege [00:36] sidetracking: Stop this. [00:37] viper123_, I have no interest in getting paid, and don't know much about the ubuntu sound system. But the volume applet should look like a speaker in the system tray...and the bot told you what to do. [00:37] sound can be very tricky. with mine, its often a matter of selecting the right device [00:37] is it possible to save app states for when i login? for example i always want a terminal open in workspace 2 and chat in 3 etc. so when i log in they are there [00:37] viper123_, menu control center sound icon then what the bot said [00:37] Kyoku, yes [00:38] wow, whoever made cinnamon theme should be made King of Ubuntu [00:40] hi :) jsut curious how to change the icons outlined in red, in the following picture. I've changed all icon theme and sddm theme icons but i am not having any luck. any ideas?? Thanks! http://pasteboard.co/5b2bVqis7.png [00:42] do you have a special tool for it compdoc? [00:43] Oderus, I had to hunt a couple down manually starting at usr/share/icons/blah [00:44] Jack_Sparrow__: Thanks for the reply. yes i did a file search and replaced all the icons i could find.. breeze, breeze dark, current theme, etc. just not sure where these are! i;ve been searching high and low, lol. [00:45] Good Luck [00:45] Jack_Sparrow__: thanks! if you happen across them for some reason let me know lol [00:47] what should be permissions be on secondary drives? [00:47] HideMe, one common problem is that people forget to chown them [00:48] Jack_Sparrow__ owner me: create/delete group mine: create/delete others: access files ? [00:51] I created a partition as part of my install and mounted it /media/UserData then to actually use it Open a terminal and type: sudo chown -R shannon:shannon /media/UserData [00:52] Kyoku, until recently I never used sound on linux, but I just followed the steps on a few websites, and installed and uninstalled things until I figured out which drivers or sound programs worked with my hardware. most important is any sites that tell you how to troubleshoot [00:52] Kyoku, or just hang out in here a few days and keep asking. [00:52] i never asked about sound, was talking about saving app states [00:53] ooops - worng person [00:53] so when i log in my terminal is open on workspace 2 and chat in 3 etc. [00:53] right. but how are you connecting? [00:54] what service [00:54] Jack_Sparrow__, Yeah, that recursively sets the ownership.... not permissions tho. [00:54] HideMe, np [00:55] you are at the console, then? [00:55] console [00:55] Jack_Sparrow__, lol what. [00:56] Kyoku, arent you describing hybernation or suspension? [00:57] no, i don't want that i mean from cold boot [00:58] cold boot, login to desktop, apps all restored nicely where i want them [00:58] apps opening at boot [00:58] maybe i'm inventing lazybuntu here [00:58] lol [00:59] !permissions | HideMe [00:59] HideMe: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [01:00] Im sure theres a way to launch apps. and possibly a way to freeze them with what you were working on before [01:00] compdoc, Kyoku wants to boot up with each app on a different side of the cube or just a delected workspace [01:01] is that not possible? [01:01] I have not seen a way [01:01] would be cool though eh? [01:01] i'll hire someone to make it [01:02] I'll use hibernation until then. good luck [01:03] cant you use save session? [01:04] i swore you could shutdown and start back up later exactly where you are. it's a checkbox somplace i cannot recal [01:04] the official ubuntu is way more stable than mint, i'm glad whoever told me about cinnamon told me [01:04] my graphics card was crashing in mint when i ran glmark2 [01:05] locked the computer up completely [01:06] four workspaces though? i need one more, a secret one for adult content === RaptorJesus is now known as Majesticles [01:10] hi! i'm on day 2 of trying to figure out how to change these specific icons that i have outlined in red in the attached screenshot. I have changed a lot of icons but still no luck. Anyone happen to know the location of these files so i can change them? Even the location of the config file that points to them would help. Thanks in advance. http://pasteboard.co/5b2bVqis7.png === Majesticles is now known as RaptorJesus === virtualriot is now known as sweetheart === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [01:26] Kyoku: A thought - in xfce one can start another display with an additional 4 work spaces . in cinnamon I do not know if it is doable . [01:32] thanks [01:41] hmm, trying to install 16.04 on another machine and when it restarts comes up with grub rescue error: disk 'mduuid/234567654345677656765,1' not found [01:43] Did I miss/not notice an update to 16.04 dealing with kernal or graphics in the last 24hours maybe? [01:44] I ask because ran into a Doozy I have not seen before. Wife went to wake up her 16.04 machine and it wouldn't turn on. I restarted it and the monitor never turned on although I got the audio output telling me it loaded up to the login screen. [01:45] I turned it off and tried the onboard video and still no monitor. No clue how to even trouble shoot that now minus maybe checking the ram. [01:47] Skittishtrigger: Does the monitor work on another computer? [01:48] yep. I even tried the hdmi output on the gpu card. [01:49] It is almost liek it is locked in sleep mode [01:49] like* [01:50] anyone install identd on their ubuntu machine here? I'm having issues, I have identd installed, it's running, but I can't seem to get it to initialize for irc? [01:50] ah, I might be using the wrong identd. [01:51] Skittishtrigger: Can you boot into single user mode? [01:51] maybe you're behind nat? [01:52] Not sure without any graphical responce at all. Not even the initial bootscreen/grub/boot options come up [01:53] brb, gonna run up and try something real fast [01:56] Skittishtrigger: Since the monitor works on other computers, if even BIOS/UEFI won't show up, it's either a cable problem or a video card problem. [02:00] check that it's properly plugged in? [02:00] anyone know a way to tcpdump a specific process? i.e. monitor all network traffic from a specific process [02:01] cfhowlett: That's a good point, too. [02:06] Thank you @ChaiTrex I figured it out. [02:07] Skittishtrigger: You're welcome. [02:07] The monitor was locked in self suspend mode. When I unplugged it and tried on another box it worked because it reset the power. The video card(internal/external) were both good! [02:08] is hotpluggin monitor wise? [02:08] +g [02:08] I don't, I always powerdown everything when switching anything. I even still use the oldschool static wristbands. lmao [02:12] what's the benefits of .NET w/ Powershell for Ubuntu. [02:15] zorbsOne: You can use .NET languages and Powershell. [02:16] zorbsOne: So, if you like those languages, it's good :) [02:16] ^ [02:17] I think you can just use pastebinit without the -b [02:18] wait [02:18] my bad, was on scrollback [02:18] :P [02:18] i have really weird problem, i installed from usb key to encrypted raid0 and when i reboot without the usb key i get a grub rescue prompt but if i have the key in it boots fine [02:20] in fact, i can stick any usb key in and it will boot [02:21] i'm running a 6700 machine but it keeps freezing on me. [02:21] ubuntu that is [02:26] ubuntu's wheel group is `sudo` right? === darthho0 is now known as checksix [02:29] Kyoku: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [02:34] weird it says it's an ext2 file system [02:34] and won't install [02:34] can i just zap it in fdisk and redo it? [02:34] it's on raid0 [02:36] uh [02:36] zap what? [02:36] ubuntu's wheel group is `sudo` right? [02:37] when i run sudo grub-install /dev/md0p1 i get an error saying 'file system ext2' doesn't support embeddit [02:37] embedding* [02:37] but when i look with fdisk at /boot it says ext4 [02:37] is it ext2? [02:37] Phanes: sort of, sure [02:37] fdisk says it's ext4 grub says it's ext2 [02:38] Phanes: Well no, ubuntu's wheel is the root group, and access to root is via 'sudo' . [02:38] Bashing-om, so ubuntu is recommending root group membership for OOB sudoers [02:39] Kyoku: sudo grub-install /dev/md0 [02:39] and not sudo group? [02:39] Phanes: what is it exactly you're trying to accomplish? [02:40] leftyfb, what im trying to accomplish is an answer to my direct and clear question but if there is reading i could do instead im happy to peruse in case this is asked alot [02:41] error: diskfilter writes are not supported [02:41] technically these groups can be arbitrarily defined but sticking to the distro's intended design is alwasy nice [02:41] nope, that's not what you're trying to accomplish. You didn't wake up this morning and out of the blue asked yourself this question. There is an end goal, to which we could probably help you better if we had a better understanding of [02:42] Kyoku: write it o the actual drive, not the raid [02:42] Kyoku: sudo grub-install /dev/sda [02:42] leftyfb, uhm no that is exactly the case i am asking about the intended user/group structure for sudoers OOB and it is the end goal to understand it [02:42] sudoers and root membership both appear to be able to do this [02:43] i do not think they intended both to be used (and suspect the group is actually sudo and not root but want to be sure) [02:43] Phanes: what is sudoers OOB? Never heard of the term OOB being used in terms of sudoers. [02:43] out of box. it is when you are first setting up a system prior to modification [02:43] Phanes: it depends on the use case [02:44] it is okay not to know [02:44] i will keep looking and post the answer when i find it [02:44] Phanes: suoders is for users with the ability to utilize sudo privileges. The root group puts you into the linux root group and will gain permissions to files and processes with root group privileges [02:45] this was my concern from the prior answer [02:45] it appeared to work when i installed to /dev/sda but when i reboot it gives grub rescue [02:45] Kyoku: try sdb as well [02:45] k [02:45] sudo group does allow users to sudo, confirmed. Bashing-om can i get clarification on what you meant by the root group being wheel? [02:47] IIRC, wheel allowed you to use sudo/su, the same way sudoers does [02:47] still grub rescue after installing grub to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb [02:48] this is so weird [02:48] Phanes: Let's start here . old docs and there have been changes since, but the logic is valid : https://administratosphere.wordpress.com/2011/07/22/the-wheel-group-updated/ . [02:48] leftyfb, wheel was like a flag on a user to not even need sudo and is dangerous [02:48] but some distros use it as a sudoers access group [02:49] ok so root group acts like a 'true wheel flag' while sudo group is for sudo access. that is sane, thank you. [02:49] Hi everyone [02:49] Kyoku: how big are the drives? [02:50] I was wondering how do I get ubuntu to look like this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/ubuntus-default-gtk-theme-now-looks-better-gnome-shell [02:50] Phanes: I do not think being in the root group allows you sudo access [02:50] with the taskbar at the bottom in what appears to be unity without a top bar and sidebar [02:50] leftyfb, you wouldn't need it [02:51] Dr_Coke: you wait for the release of the version of ubuntu that the article is about [02:51] leftyb about 250GB each, it's an older machine [02:51] leftyfb, I thought it was already released [02:52] Dr_Coke: Ubuntu 17.10 = 2017/10 (October 2017) [02:53] Kyoku: is your drive/volume in /dev/mapper? [02:53] leftyfb, it says Here’s how Ambiance looks on GNOME Shell 3.24.1 on Ubuntu 17.04 by default [02:53] Where did you get 17.10 from [02:54] the raid is in /dev/mapper yes under hte right group and group volume [02:54] Oh at the top [02:54] Dr_Coke: However, if you want to see and know - then join #ubuntu+1 . testers will be welcome . [02:54] "With Ubuntu 17.10 development is now underway, the Ubuntu Ambiance theme is finally receiving some love." [02:55] Will ubuntu 17.10 look like that? [02:55] Dr_Coke: run gnome shell and enable the ambiance theme [02:55] my /boot is under /dev/md0p1 and the dev/mapper is mount as / [02:55] Kyoku: try installing grub to that [02:59] leftyfb, so ubuntu 17.10 is going to look like that from default with gnome? [03:00] I gotta head out. Good luck Kyoku [03:00] Dr_Coke: yes [03:00] Ubuntu is putting a theme over gnome? [03:00] nope, doesn't work [03:00] That's awesome [03:00] fixing with sledgehammer [03:00] lefty so no top bar or side bar [03:00] or a wrecking ball [03:00] just the bottom bar! [03:00] I love it [03:00] depending on your music taste [03:07] wrecked, installing MATE desktop instead [03:07] i want to see what mate 17.04 looks like [03:15] hello everyone. Can someone help me to get phatch to launch? I need to bulk process a few thousand images and phatch doesn't seem to be working on the latest version of ubuntu [03:15] i installed it from the software center [03:16] we'll need to see the images first [03:18] kyoku?? [03:19] launching phatch simply doesn't work, it hangs and never opens up the interface [03:19] https://hastebin.com/sisecabiwu.swift [03:19] launching from a terminal gives me that [03:25] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/phatch/+bug/1682919 [03:25] Launchpad bug 1682919 in Phatch "new install of phatch is broken out-of-box" [Undecided,New] [03:25] looks like that issue [04:06] Cool, I just got HexChat to identify me and join channel no more manual entry === VectorX is now known as VX === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [05:12] good morning to all [05:12] morning o/ [05:31] good moaning [05:31] i'm getting a slight flickering when playing youtube videos on firefox, and i had the problem in chromium but solved it with "Force-enabled for all layers" in GPU rasterization flag, is there an equivalent setting in ff? [05:32] or maybe another way to solve it [05:34] Kyoku: what GPU are you using? [05:34] and what driver [05:34] good question [05:34] i'm not sure [05:34] Kyoku: sudo lshw -C video to check [05:35] Tahiti XT [Radeon HD 7970/8970 OEM / R9 280X] [05:35] Hmm, sadly dont know anything about AMD [05:35] Kyoku: what does driver= mention? [05:36] For nvidia there is usually a catchall solution by using ForceFullCompositionPipeline [05:36] configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 [05:36] Hy, anybody else has a problem with youtube playback on 17.04 (up-to-dated). If I open a youtube video in new window in firefox it plays double, and I know that only because if I jump in the time-line... one sound keep playing the normal... [05:36] apparently you can use the TearFree option for amd/radeon also [05:36] Kyoku: okay, wich ubuntu version is that? [05:37] 16.04 with MATE desktop [05:37] Kyoku: got the flickering on a vlc movie also? [05:38] not tried that, i can fix it in chromium but still flickers in firefox [05:38] lotuspsychje, Kyoku anyhow this may be of interest https://cubethethird.wordpress.com/2016/06/14/eliminate-screen-tearing-with-amd-gpu-on-ubuntu/ [05:38] you'll need to create a manual xorg.conf tho [05:39] TearFree works for intel also iirc [05:39] Hmmm [05:39] thanks hateball, i'll try that in the morning [05:39] night guys, have a good one [05:40] If I disable the Youtube FlashPlayer in the addons than it is fine.

BUT not good for mouse/kb users [07:36] (it's desktop files linking to icloud.com services, in case you wonder why there's these icons) [07:36] scythefwd: why not? i've been using window maker which also has a dock, similar style [07:37] tarzeau, why the ios logos :( [07:37] fr0tzed: https://people.phys.ethz.ch/~myczko/ubuntu/ read it here [07:37] tarzeau.. it just felt clunky..

[08:49] hello, anyone know where that little nice button to change system icons and look "flat" is.. I had it on my Xubuntu at least, and it should be somewhere :) just broke my system and trying to get back the settings [08:49] onomatopiea: 'man 3readline readline', it's also covered in the bash man page [08:49] getting paranoid here.. because some things are still missing, fixing them as we talk [08:50] THanks, ducasse. [08:50] I am sure there was a a tickbox somewhere that did the job systemwide [08:50] ... [08:51] onomatopiea: completion is partly configured by readline, there are also extension scripts for bash. prompt is set in $PS1, command line editing is a readline thing (~/.inputrc). [08:52] ducasse: Thanks. It's just freaking me out because people keep arguing over stats from differnt machines as well [08:52] Going to see if I can roll out the change to everyone via a tool.. [08:54] sugardrunk: perhaps the #xubuntu guys might know that === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [08:55] Display flickering on 16.04, documented the issue in this video: https://youtu.be/-5rbocJ3V-s [08:55] Please help [08:56] mspamed: What GPU/driver? [08:56] onomatopiea: if it helps, i can give you my .inputrc as a starting point. from there you can just look up the settings i use in the man page to see how they work. [08:56] AMD r9 270x GPU and the driver on the details page is this Gallium 0.4 on AMD PITCAIRN (DRM 2.46.0 / 4.8.0-36-generic, LLVM 3.8.0) [08:56] Thanks ducasse, could be very handy :) I'll try it out on my own server first.. [08:57] onomatopiea: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24559468/ [08:57] mspamed: I dont know much about AMD, but I suppose you could try using this PPA and see if a newer driver works better https://launchpad.net/~paulo-miguel-dias/+archive/ubuntu/pkppa [08:58] @hateball So all I do is add that repo and update and upgrade through the terminal? [08:59] mspamed: yep [08:59] mspamed: your system up to date to latest also? [09:00] You're a god-send, thanks ducasse [09:01] hateball: ok it upgraded but the screen is still flickering.

[09:02] Lotuspsychje: No, this is a new install, I had tried version 17 yesterday and I couldn't fix this issue in that one so I decided to install 16.04. I have never installed ubuntu on this machine only on my laptop, kinda liked it so wanted to install on main pc too [09:02] I've got a tonne of non ops work today unfortunately. But I'll try it on my home server ducasse [09:02] mspamed: update your system to 16.04.2 [09:02] And setting the MOTD. I cannot believe we have such basic prompts. [09:03] Lotuspsychje: Okay [09:03] kinda seems like the admin overwrote the default /etc/profile with an uglier one that doesn't do as much. not sure what package contains the original, but you could paste that into your .bash_profile [09:04] EriC^^: I repaired the boot order by running boot-repair. It fixed the booting for ubuntu but i am unable to boot into windows still. There are several weird boot options for windows but none of them work [09:04] if you remember from our discussion yesterday [09:05] lotuspsychje: they are sleeping... can't call my system xubuntu anymore [09:05] probably /etc/bash.bashrc which is in bash. should be in the source packages https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash [09:05] mspamed: what does "lsb_release -a" show for Release? [09:06] but I was also wondering how to check which apps are using a dependency (eg. pidgin-data) or any [09:06] *if any app [09:07] hateball: It shows No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial [09:08] mspamed: then you are already updated, as lotuspsychje suggested [09:09] sugardrunk: repeat your question, all in one line to the channel once in a while to get your issue solved [09:09] heatball: ran software updater just in case, it downloaded and installed and wants me to restart now [09:09] mspamed: have you tried switching driver hateball suggested and reboot? [09:10] Lotuspsychje: Yes I added those repos and ran update and upgrade but its still flickering [09:10] mspamed: you'll need to reboot for them to come into effect [09:11] Lotuspsychje: Hateball: will reboot now, will get disconnected but I will be back [09:12] I was also wondering how to check which apps are using a dependency (eg. pidgin-data)... eh? [09:12] for the last question you told me to go #xubuntu... nice tip btw... [09:14] hateball: lotuspsychje: Ok I rebooted, it's still flickering [09:15] lotuspsychje: but don't worry, i behave, drink coffee and google stuff...

[09:19] hateball: well I have windows installed and it worked on ubuntu 14 LTS [09:19] mspamed: sometimes the wire from gpu to monitor that passes through the lid hinge gets damaged [09:19] mspamed: ah, well then [09:19] ubotto ok will use those methods [09:20] craptalk: xrandr --auto does something? [09:20] mspamed: hmmm, I wonder if TearFree would fix this issue also... [09:21] mspamed: at any rate it doesnt hurt to try, see this post https://cubethethird.wordpress.com/2016/06/14/eliminate-screen-tearing-with-amd-gpu-on-ubuntu/ [09:22] lotuspsychje: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24559541/ [09:22] ubottu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24559541/ [09:22] lotuspsychje, what does it do? [09:22] hateball: will try that [09:23] craptalk: try to automatic detect all your screens === monk is now known as MustaKrakish [09:26] lotuspsychje, sadly it does not [09:28] hateball: I did as the article instructed but the command restart gdm doesn't work. I will restart now [09:30]
