[00:35] Hi, if I copy applications from my 16.04 partition to my 17.04 partition will there be any complications with upgrades etc? [00:36] aus_mal, what do you mean copy [00:37] i have limited internet so I copied application files from one root directory to the other [00:37] aus_mal, one version 16.04 is long term support, the other 17.04 is not [00:38] at this stage i just tried telegram desktop with it's desktop file which updated itself just fine. [00:38] aus_mal, thats a recipe for total disaster, find a loco or lug near you to burn an iso to usb for you [00:38] so I just want to know if I copy other applications will I be able to apt-get upgrade them like normal? [00:39] !loco | aus_mal [00:39] aus_mal: Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at http://loco.ubuntu.com/ [00:39] aus_mal, no [00:39] aus_mal, never mix versions, nor the packages in those differing versions [00:39] I'm sorry, but why do I need to burn an iso to usb.. I had just clean installed 17.04 on another partition [00:40] aus_mal, you just said you had limited internet [00:40] aus_mal, do not copy 16.04 or whatever over to 17.04 [00:41] yes? [00:41] ok, got it.. I just thought they would be older versions of software [00:43] but what do I need the iso burned to usb for again? thanks [00:43] aus_mal, you said you had slow internet [00:44] I suggested you get someone to do it for you from a loco [00:44] oh, no I only want to get applications [00:45] Hello everyone [00:45] aus_mal, thats never the way to do it [00:46] ok, was hoping it was possible to save a bit of data, but no prob..

[01:30] yup thechris [01:30] Um...is that a trick question? [01:40] sorry, I had asked a question in kubuntu, but there were no responses at all. [01:40] and nothing in this channel. [01:40] thechris: it's also the weekend, so it tends to be 'slower' in the channels [01:40] I wasn't sure if there was something wrong on my end. [01:40] you may wish to just ask your question. [01:41] it isn't desktop specific. Just trying to get ethernet working. [01:41] It is an odd question. last week the liveusb had working ethernet. then I installed *buntu. now neither have working ethernet. [01:41] There is an intel i219 and a killer e2400 [01:42] I have tried two ethernet cables with each. [01:42] It looks like the OS thinks I am transmitting data. [01:42] But I can't receive [01:43] I'm not sure if intel i219 is just not supported. It doesn't seem that new. [01:43] Version? (If you say 17.04, I'm going to go do laundry) [01:43] it is 17.04 -- is there a FAQ or announcement about this issue? [01:44] haha [01:44] oh lordy [01:47] thechris, you tried searching around on intel's site right [01:48] I didn't get that far. I was searching for dhcp issues until I noticed the lack of arp responses [01:49] and oddly, it only seems to have affected one port. [01:51] I'm still trying to resolve which article I should be looking for. There is one that might describe an issue, but it is kinda thin and doesn't exactly describe the issue. or is this issue just vt-x related? [01:51] have you tried " sudo ifconfig eth0 up "then " sudo dhclient eth0 " [01:51] thats what google says [01:53] thechris ^^ [01:53] ifconfig doens't exist for some reason. I guess it was replaced by "ip". I'll try dhclient, but if I can't even respond to arps I'm not too hopeful. [01:54] hm, try editing " /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf " ( " sudo nano /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf " ) [01:54] and make sure it contains something like: [01:54] [keyfile] [01:54] unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:ethernet,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan [01:55] thechris ^^ [01:56] (i got no idea, this is what google says :p) [01:56] this also may shed some light on the issue [01:56] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356217 [01:58] Since there are two interfaces, I'll try plugging them together to see if either can both transmit and receive. [01:59] ok, looks like they can [02:00] and now my computer is trying to get two ip addresses from itself, making a fun blinking pattern in the attempt. [02:02] hmm well I have seen machines with two NICs that are multihomed [02:03] like they connect to two different LAN segments [02:04] That makes sense. I don't need to do that. I actually didn't expect the killer nic to even be supported. [02:05] I chose the motherboard based on what PCIe devices had conflicts with other ports. [02:06] right now I'm taking the "wait a bit and try again". I guess I have two things left to try, well three in the worst case. [02:06] Hello, when I do a cold boot of ubuntu server 17.04 without a keyboard, grub will do it's countdown for 30 seconds and bood. When I reboot the computer I get a black screen right after uefi splash screen. I now have to shut it down and start it again to get back into the OS. any idea what's going on and how I can fix that behavior ? [02:06] @snerge can you get to a virtual console at any point (ctrl+alt+f1) [02:07] (and f2-f6. f7 is the desktop) [02:07] This at least will let you log in and look at dmesg and any other logging [02:07] thechris, I don't have a keyboad on it but I doubt I could, I boot it with a usb drive where I've installed the light stops [02:08] I can't ssh/ping it. imho it get stucks at grub [02:08] did try multiple kernel parameters but nothing fixed this behavior. It only happends on reboot [02:09] but you can eventually get into the os? [02:09] no [02:09] I have to stop the computer [02:09] and start it again [02:09] this way I can get in [02:10] ah. do you have any access to the device? [02:10] physical you mean ? [02:10] basically, is there any way to look at logs that might be helpful in finding the next thing to look for? [02:11] since it doesn't boot at all I don't know what logs I could look at [02:11] Perhaps attaching a keyboard or booting into a liveUSB environment [02:11] Hi, everyone [02:12] @snerge, I don't know anything about your issue, I'm just offering general debugging advice. [02:12] hi, pq13 [02:15] thanks thechris but since it doesn't even load grub, I don't think this would help [02:15] tryed to plug a keyboard but nothing more happens [02:18] I still curious about 17.04 and if there is some perception that it is flakey or doesn't support ethernet or i219 or etc... [02:19] Because the post after my problem made it seem like this was common. [02:34] I have a question. How come Ubuntu uses non-lts kernels for it's lts releases? === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [02:37] !hwe | Sarah_Swe [02:37] Sarah_Swe: The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [02:41] Oh wow. That's dumber than I thought it ever would be. Oh well. [02:53] ok, I'm out of ideas. Anyone know how to get more info on debugging ethernet? [02:53] I have two interfaces that can transmit according to the OS. [02:53] I'm using one at a time. [02:53] Neither can receive [02:54] Unless they are connected to each other. [02:54] However a week ago this was not an issue. [02:55] this is an intel i219 and a killer e2400 on 17.04 [02:56] thechris, just wondering, what mobo is it [02:56] You'll have to expand a bit more, neither can receive ? [02:57] this is an evga 270 ftw mobo. When I attempt to send data from another computer connected to the switch I don't see any increase in stats. [02:58] I have also tried two different ethernet cables. [02:58] apache2.conf seems to be now consuming env variables set elsewhere. i appreciate this all being in once place. it would be nice if someone told me where they are. [02:58] i spoke too soon. /etc/apache2/envvars [02:59] Although, maybe arp packets can't get to the computer for some other reason. [02:59] windows for some reason doesn't allow "ping 255.255.255.255" [03:00] or if that would actually work with the switch... [03:01] It looks like both of those NICs require some additional setup [03:02] do you have a link for this? === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [03:05] https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2356217 [03:07] I looked at that earlier. The NVM message doesn't appear. [03:07] I've also turned off VT-x and VT-d per intel suggestion [03:07] and it is really weird that the issue occurs for both interfaces. [03:08] The killernic one uses some atheros driver that is likely wrong in the distro as well [03:09] hmm, ok. I didn't really expect that one to work. [03:09] although it is so weird that they both have the exact same issue. [03:09] oh, and also a week ago the intel one worked with the liveUSB. [03:10] Did you update the e1000e driver to a 3.x version ? [03:11] how do I check what is in 17.04 [03:11] I was just looking at the lack of the error message. [03:12] ethtool -i eth0 (or whatever your nic is called) [03:14] hold on. switching to the intel now results in "hardware hang" in dmesg [03:14] I'll have to reboot. [03:18] I sometimes wish OS's would just install every network debugging tool and not try to pinch every MB out of the install disk. [03:18] ethtool isn't installed... [03:19] so, if I had network support I could find out why I don't have network support. [03:19] Try /sbin/modinfo e1000e [03:20] 3.2.6-k [03:22] I wish I had windows so I at least would have something to compare this against. [03:22] You sure you don't have the NVM checksum is not valid in your dmesg ? [03:22] That is what every single post I'm reading says about that card|driver [03:24] yeah. dmesg | grep -i nvm give only lines with "nvme" [03:25] oh, I have laptop with a working ethernet interface. new debugging tool! [03:26] Well, I'd still do some testing on that. build and install the newest 3.3.5.3 from intel, If that doesn't work then apply that patch and rebuild [03:27] thechris: "I have laptop with a working ethernet interface." can you ping machine A ? [03:28] I'd have to set up a static interface, but I'll try that [03:28] I think just issueing a ping should send ARPs though. [03:28] hello my wirelles connected but can't browsing https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/X3WFVPvA/P70604-102852.jpg [03:28] ubuntu 17.04 [03:29] @senaa, can you browse the URL from another device? Can you browse other URLs from this device? [03:30] thechris: another device Smoothly [03:30] does mount only support one location per IP? or can I mount several folders from the same IP? [03:30] senaa: Can you ping an IP address like 8.8.8.8 ? I heard 17.04 has some DNS issues [03:30] @Bashing-om, I'm starting to think it is the wifi router actually. [03:31] yes i get reply when i ping 8.8.8.8 [03:31] I see incrementing Tx/Rx packets when I plug my laptop in. [03:31] thechris: my thought , reboot the router :) [03:31] @Bashing-om, done twice... [03:31] It's so weird -- this worked a week ago! [03:31] ok edit your /etc/resolv.conf file and add in nameserver 8.8.8.8 [03:32] kenrin: ok wait , after that ? [03:33] After that try another webpage [03:33] @slicepaperwords, for nfs? You should be able to mount any number of folders from any number of locations. [03:33] I used to do that for having public/private shares. [03:34] kenrin : like this ? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/t9CLZw1U/P70604-103536.jpg [03:35] Put it above your other 127 line [03:35] I'm trying to mount several folders on my synology onto my ubuntu server but it seems to only want to connect to one at a time, soon as I run mount for the next folder that is the only one that works [03:36] kenrin : wow work thank you https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/KKvBX4Hm/irccloudcapture979517096.jpg [03:36] do you get any error message, anything in dmesg, or anything in any other logs. [03:36] (I need to find out what system logging is used in ubuntu...) [03:38] in ubuntu already installed driver amd ? [03:39] Not sure, you can use "dpkg -l amdgpu-pro" to check [03:39] thechris, huh I was facing that last night but don't seem to be facing the same issue today [03:40] kenrin: no packages how to install ? [03:40] @slicepaperwords, you've stolen my karma. My network worked last week, but not today. [03:41] j/k [03:41] ha sorry [03:42] senaa: support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx [03:42] I do not think they have release one fully for 17 yet though, so it may not work correctly [03:43] senaa: amdgpu-PRO only supports the later cards . [03:44] That is true, I did not ask what card [03:45] senaa: http://theleftcoastgeek.net/index.php/categories/12-possible-amdgpu-pro-supported-gpus-by-the-end . Your card on the list ? [03:52] i have my desktop setup with x11vnc. i want it to pick up my existing local session when i rdp into the desktop from my windows laptop. i found some info on setting the port to be constant to pick up previous rdp sessions, but how do i get the existing local session? === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [03:56] Does vnc even work that like jnewt? I thought it recreated the graphics locally [03:56] oh x11, nvm [03:57] idk, i need to look now that you mentioned it, i think i might be connecting to something called xrdp. anyway, i have an unsaved file in my session on my desktop. i need to remote to the machine to save it. [03:59] ok, Im connecting to xrdp [04:01] Bashing-om: ok wait [04:01] Hi I'm getting this issue on my Ubuntu remove server "sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 [04:01] " [04:02] I am in sooders list but Im nto sure why I cannot even pruge ap ackage an i was jsut able to update the pakackages how to fix? [04:02] Bashing-om: the website cannot access [04:02] tigervnc has session reco built-in which I use, No idea about tigervncserver that ubuntu uses by default =/ [04:02] er, tightvncserver I mean [04:03] senaa: Me too , maybe the site is down . lemme check . [04:06] Bashing-om: my card amd radeon r5 [04:07] senaa: Working on the leftcoastgeek site presently :) [04:07] uxfi: I think you'll have to boot into recover mode and chown root:root /etc/sudoers [04:07] sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 [04:07] kenrin I can go to visudo... [04:07] why recovery mode? [04:07] Oh, just change the owner then [04:07] pkexec visudo [04:07] as root? [04:08] well im the only user [04:08] hm [04:08] kenrin it prompts me for a password and i entered it but it didnt work. I made a new user a wole ago and wanted it to be root but I deleted that [04:08] so how to fix? [04:09] Well, if you can't sudo because the sudoers is broken... back to recovery mode [04:09] senaa: Pastebin ' lspci -vnn | grep -i VGA ' so I get a better ID that I can recognize . [04:10] sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 [04:10] how? [04:13] sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 [04:13] what od I do? [04:13] Do you have physical access to get to grub? You said it was remote [04:13] uhh [04:13] its a rmeote server [04:14] kenrin I dotn think its that severe I can reach sudo [04:14] and I was jsut at visudo [04:14] remote server. dont* [04:14] so what do I do? [04:15] Ask whoever hosts your server to fix it [04:15] Bashing-om: wait [04:15] kenrin I host it... [04:15] You didnt read? [04:15] it is my remote host [04:16] You host it, but you don't have physical access to boot into recovery mode? [04:16] how would I do that? [04:16] why do I need recovery mode? [04:17] do you own the server? or have you rented or bought it online? [04:17] uxfi: talk to your host. [04:17] Maybe icherry can explain better, but you need to change the owner of that file back to root (uid 0) [04:17] iscuss [04:17] I am the host [04:17] I had help here before but this wasnt the problem [04:17] Then reboot in single user mode & fix the issue.

[04:18] vps [04:19] ask the people you rented it from to fix it [04:19] or use the console access (if they provide it) [04:20] uxfi: what's the problem? [04:20] I fixxed it I think [04:20] pkexec chown root:root -R /etc [04:20] senaa: What graphics card ? ^^ "VGASnoop- ParErr-: also makes me think graphics driver .

[06:42] it froze twice during that time (window went gray) [06:42] now that would not be normal [06:42] Some_Person: have you tried fresh firefox with no addons? [06:42] I'll gladly run a benchmark if you can give me one [06:44] There are quite a few onlinem even a JavaScript benchmark should do. [06:44] It looks to me like your power governer is conservative. [06:45] Can you give me something not involving a web browser? I want to show that this isn't an addon issue or anything dumb like that [06:46] Hmm. Try sysbench [06:49] okay, running sysbench --test=cpu run [06:51] Just look at system monitor with it running. [06:51] Should be stressing out the CPUs [06:52] https://pastebin.com/fVmiBGLq [06:52] what is ram usage in ubuntu gnome [06:53] I ran the same benchmark on my macbook pro, it completed in about 10 seconds [06:55] 105 seconds looks quite high. [06:56] Does anyone know a chatroom for support of Inkscape? #inkscape is quite dead. [06:56] Do you have lmt or something similar installed? [06:57] system monitor while running this benchmark: http://i.imgur.com/VDCTg60.png [06:57] lmt? [06:57] Laptop mode tools. [06:58] Try with --num-threads=8 [06:58] Looks like it was only using one CPU core. [06:59] my MBP was also only using one thread [06:59] Some_Person: was just about to ask you that. [07:00] 105s for single thread is quite high nonetheless [07:01] 8 threads: https://pastebin.com/3QvHeF1G and http://i.imgur.com/LffMMy3.png [07:02] an i7 should definitely be doing better than this, it's got to be because of the severe underclock [07:03] cpu info: https://pastebin.com/GmK28zJ5 [07:04] Definately underclocked [07:06] so........ wtf?! [07:07] It's mostly lmt / battery saver modei guess [07:08] what should I do? [07:09] Can anyone here help me with Inkscape? I'm trying to save as DXF and having issues. [07:10] jrshaul: sorry dude. Donno anything about inkscape [07:11] No worries. #inkscape is dead as a doornail. [07:11] I wonder if this or my old P3 box at this point is faster :P [07:11] Some_Person: Lemme see. I'm stuck on it being a Power saver mode cause you say docking it makes it go faster [07:11] Btw what's the CPU core temps? [07:12] https://pastebin.com/yyKz2mum [07:13] it's been sitting on my bed, so could be better, but shouldn't be high enough to worry about [07:14] unfortunately it's late here now, and I need to get some sleep [07:14] Ohk! [07:15] 'night, and thanks [07:15] I'll look something up and send it your way if I came across something [07:16] I appreciate it [07:16] I just ran the tests on my laptop to get some context and is 12s single and 3s multi. It's seriously slow. [07:18] Some_Person: did you figure out the CPU usage [07:18] client disconnected so last thing I saw was MBP only using one thread [07:18] qanadin: For some reason, my CPU is underclocked to a ridiculously low 350 MHz [07:18] What's the output for cpufeq? [07:19] Sorry, I've already shut the machine down... going to bed now [07:19] let me know what you find as to why its being underclocked so much I am curious [07:19] Will do! [07:19] kinda new to Ubuntu so always down for learning something new [07:19] hey [07:19] does anybody use wacom tablets here? [07:20] This seems to be a very strange situation... couldn't really find other similar cases online [07:20] been setting up a bunch of ubuntu vm's for difference LAN services [07:20] doubtful: nah. [07:20] maybe this is the slowest an i7 has ever run [07:20] anyway, good night! [07:20] I've been using Ubuntu for some time now but I'm not really experienced either. [07:20] nice Some_Person [07:21] rohan_flag0: what are you using ubuntu for, desktop or server? [07:23] brb [07:24] Both actually. [07:25] Btw you can manually force copy frequency using cpufreq-selector [07:27] whats up [07:27] Sup! [07:28] hey psychoticwarrior === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [07:36] not much configuring my router [07:38] what are you guys doing [07:39] Guys are chating [07:40] same [07:43] Just taking my daily dose of random web browsing [07:46] 1. sudo apt update 2. Err:17 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu zesty-backports Release 403 Forbidden [07:47] au mirror is down === qanadin is now known as Guest59819 [07:53] hi folks, I just installed Ubuntu 17.04 Server in a Virtualbox VM and I'm connecting to it via a VNC client. Unfortunately, the server thinks that I have a completely wonky keyboard. - is a ß, / is _ and lots of other stupid stuff. I already tried setting my keyboard layout again (with dpkg-reconfigure) but that didn't help. I have a standard german keyboard [07:53] what am I doing wrong? [07:55] your keyboard scancodes are going through two keyboard maps [07:55] yep, I just noticed that the VNC client is the problem [07:55] I wasn't able to connect via ssh, but got that working now and with SSH it is fine... [07:56] :) [07:56] so thanks for your time and disregard my earlier question. :-) [08:00] cmdrkotori: yup. Au is forbidden. [08:15] i broke my system again [08:15] while following the instructions on this site to install dnscrypt [08:16] http://www.linuxslaves.com/2016/10/how-to-install-dnscrypt-ubuntu-1604.html [08:16] now my /etc/apt/sources.list is only read-only file and not writeable [08:16] is there a way to fix this problem or do i have to re-install the OS again? [08:17] chmod +w? [08:18] done that [08:18] chmod +w /etc/apt/sources.list [08:18] chmod: changing permissions of '/etc/apt/sources.list': Read-only file system [08:19] tried chomd -R 7777 /etc/apt [08:19] nothing happens as well [08:19] Nothing or "read only file system"? [08:19] yeah, that is the reply [08:20] read-only file system [08:20] Looks like system mounted read only. [08:20] it does now [08:20] Remount? [08:20] after i did include this to my /etc/apt/sources.list [08:20] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe [08:21] and did an sudo apt update [08:21] i duno how to do that [08:22] sudo mount -o remount,rw /partition/identifier /mountpoint [08:25] is there a directory called /partition and /identifier? [08:25] or do i have to rename that directories? [08:27] Nahi. /dev/sdXN X is disk letter. N is partion number. Check disks. [08:29] nope nothing works [08:29] lol [08:29] :) 😂 [08:35] the fuck [08:35] Hi [08:35] lol === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [08:35] now i even can't update and upgrade [08:36] kristhian: please control your language [08:36] sorry [08:36] no problem [08:36] kristhian: are you struggling because your file system is read only ? [08:37] ikonia, yes [08:37] if I have an iscsi SAN with multiple nodes but single discovery portal, what would be the open-iscsi behaviour after loosing a LUN ? would it query the portal for new targets or it should try all of their send_targets that it has stored in configuration ?> [08:37] after i have included a package on the sources.list [08:37] and then updated it [08:37] hi guys i need help configuring psensors, can anyone help me? [08:37] it locks my file system [08:37] can we ask about lubuntu here? [08:37] kristhian: hang on - it locks your file system, or your file system is read only [08:37] i mean an archive [08:38] kristhian: try to be specific in the actual problem if you can rather than "casual" descriptions [08:38] ikonia, it is not read only, but it was set to read only after i did include an archive in sources.list [08:39] i included this [08:39] deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial main universe [08:39] then run sudo apt update [08:39] kristhian: right, that won't "set a file system" to read only [08:39] kristhian: what version of ubuntu are you running ? [08:40] need help with psensors if anyone has a moment... for one, indicator does not display the temps along my panel, and two, the little icon i have since added to my gnome panel seems to act as just a launcher, rather than something i can click on and it shows all my temps in a small little window like I see everyone elses... [08:40] Description: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS [08:40] kristhian: so why are you including xenial repos, they should already be on your system [08:40] kristhian: you shouldn't need to "include" them they are already configure on your system as the core/only repos after you install 16.04 [08:41] Just apt install [pkgname] [08:41] ikonia, i didn't know because the instruction there is to include xenial main universe [08:41] which is not on the sources.list [08:42] kristhian: ok, so just for interest before we actually look at fixing your problem, could you pastebin your current sources.list please, lets have a look at what the current view is before we touch anything [08:42] there is a xenial universe [08:42] but not main universe [08:42] and i thought both are different repos [08:42] kristhian: main is a repo, universe is a repo, you're just specifing two repos on the same line [08:42] ikonia, ok [08:43] actually I'll do it anotehr time (as I ran out of time for today) === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [08:44] ikonia, here -> https://pastebin.com/52evJkfk [08:45] kristhian: ok, nothing in there to get upset about, FYI: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse [08:45] thats an example of multiple repos on one line [08:45] (line 38 in your paste) [08:45] thats the xeinal-backports repo, if you did the same on xeinal repo, you'd get what you want (thats just FYI:) [08:46] kristhian: so is your file system actually read only at the moment ? [08:46] ikonia, yes [08:47] kristhian: ok, so that will normally happen when either the file system has been corrupted, or a device is failing [08:47] kristhian: the easy response to this is to just reboot, the disk gets a "check" on reboot and will fix any file system errors if it can [08:47] so i will just reboot? [08:48] kristhian: if it happens again or can't be fixed then you'll need to look into this in more detail (we can help) [08:48] ill do that [08:48] ikonia, ill do that [08:48] thanks [08:48] kristhian: yes, the OS does a file system check and fix on boot [08:48] ok [08:48] thanks ikonia [08:48] ill be back in a short while [08:49] where can i go for help with psensors [09:11] I want to run Bacula on Ubuntu 16.04.2 but the included packages are 2 years old (version 7.0.5). I want version 7.4.4 but couldn't find any ppa for this yet. But ubuntu 17.X included version 7.4.4 ... Is there an easy way to compile Bacula 7.4.4 packages for ubuntu 16.04.2 myself, or are they available from any PPA or anything? [09:12] Mibka, you need to search for PPA on your own [09:12] Mibka: nope [09:12] Mibka, they are not supported here [09:12] Mibka: is there a problem using the stable and tested version that comes with 16.04 [09:13] ikonia: I want to use newer features that are not available in the 2years old release... [09:13] Mibka: which features ? [09:15] ikonia: "Job Bandwidth Limitations" and "Snapshot Management" [09:15] snapshot management should be available in all version 7 packages [09:16] i thought it was only available since 7.2.x [09:16] should be in any 7 [09:16] I'm not %100 on job bandwidth management [09:20] hi [09:22] sebsebseb: seem you have send a same msg on ##linux? [09:22] yinflying: uhmm sure just joined both channels so hi [09:25] sebsebseb: :) [09:40] ikonia, i just rebooted but i couldnt connect to the desktop enviroment, instead i am now in busy box [09:41] busybox v1.22 (Ubuntu 1:1.22.0-15ubuntu1) builton shell (ash) [09:44] kristhian: wow, so thats suggesting it can't interact with the disk at all [09:44] kristhian: when you boot the box, do you get any warnings/errors on screen before it drops to busy box [09:45] no [09:45] kristhian: do you get the grub menu ? [09:45] it just prompt me to busy box [09:45] yes, i get the grub menu [09:45] can you boot the recovery mode option from grub ? [09:49] wait, ill do it in a revovery mode again [09:49] but i did it a while, it boots me into busybox [09:49] but ill try again [09:50] so recovery mode boots you into busy box too ? [09:52] ikonia, yes [09:52] kristhian: if you type "exit" from busy box, what happens [09:53] puts me back in there as well [09:54] puts you back where ? [09:54] on busy box [09:54] if you type "exit" from busy box [09:54] yeah [09:54] exits and then returns [09:54] do you have any live media [09:54] eg: can you boot a livecd [09:55] i only have a bootable pen drive [09:55] I suspect either your file system is a lot more corrupted than we thought (which suggests something else happened) or your hard disk is actually failing [09:55] kristhian: what OS is on the bootable pen drive ? [09:55] it is 16.04.1 [09:56] that works just fine, can you boot that please on the machine [09:56] ok [09:59] my ubuntu vragrant box has a weird colored cli [09:59] *vagrant [09:59] vagrant will just be setting the PS1 varaible [10:00] ? [10:00] ikonia: how can I turn it off ? [10:01] just set PS1 to something you like [10:03] ikonia: I want defaults [10:04] rizonz: that is default for vagrant [10:04] hence why you have it [10:04] btw will my files be recovered if i reinstall the os again? [10:04] kristhian: depends [10:04] sucks [10:04] lol [10:04] ? [10:05] i mean, i have files on the previous install that i needed to, i didnt have backup yet [10:05] it is from work [10:05] ikonia: no Ubuntu default :D [10:05] what do you expect us to do about that [10:05] rizonz: that is ubuntu defaults on vagrant [10:05] rizonz: are you saying you just want a black and white prompt ? [10:06] ill just try the install alongside ubuntu 16.04.2 [10:06] maybe this will work [10:06] kristhian: why are you installing anything? [10:06] kristhian: we are trying to fix your install [10:06] kristhian: what are you installing anything? [10:06] i thought i am going to install os again [10:06] no [10:06] oh [10:06] where did anyone tell you to do that ? [10:07] oh, sorry [10:07] i thought you mean to install again from my pendrive [10:07] kristhian: are you in the live media now ? [10:10] Hi all [10:11] ikonia, sorry about that and i thought a live media is a bootable pendrive [10:11] kristhian: not a problem [10:11] or a bootable cd [10:11] kristhian: it can be a pendrive or cd [10:11] kristhian: basically something to run an OS from to fix your problem [10:11] I've got a machine with full disk encryption which I'm trying to unlock. I know the password, but someone has changed the keyboard layout for the cryptsetup prompt. Is there a way to reset this layout to qwerty without unlocking the disk? [10:12] The layout is dvorak, and although I could just look up a keyboard layout diagram, I'd rather (just for my know-how) do it otherwise [10:12] ikonia, so it is a bootable pendrive? [10:12] if i am correct? [10:12] kristhian: yup [10:12] yes i have it now [10:13] kristhian: great, [10:13] kristhian: how many disks are you your machine [10:13] i mean i have it on my broken computer, then what to do next? [10:13] ikonia, only one [10:13] kristhian: thats perfect, you've booted the broken computer with the live media, is that right ? [10:14] not actully booted, i am still on the options tab [10:14] kristhian: boot it up then [10:14] where i get to check what i should do [10:14] check what you should do ? [10:14] it said to try ubuntu without installing [10:14] install ubuntu [10:14] or this is not a live media [10:14] ok, so "try ubuntu" as you don't want to install it [10:15] jophish: I don't know how things look like in Ubuntu but does menu show system settings. if so go to keyboard settings, keyboard layout. [10:15] ikonia, ok [10:18] ikonia, im on the de of ubuntu now [10:18] I'm on Ubuntu 16 and unable to access the menu bar (file, edit, etc) on Totem (the video-player). Usually it shows up when I just hover up on the top, but it's not anymore. How do I fix this? [10:18] kristhian: superb, can you open a terminal from that desktop ? [10:18] i mean the one "try ubuntu without install" [10:19] yes [10:19] SimonNL: this is before ubuntu has booted [10:19] this is the system disk [10:20] kristhian: so lets just check the basics can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" please [10:21] jophish: In that case I have no idea. [10:27] ikonia, wait === kristhian is now known as kristhian__ [10:29] ikonia: yes b/w [10:29] ikonia: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/24770700/ [10:30] rizonz: echo $PS1 [10:31] kristhian: ok, so that is showing 3 disks [10:31] I assume the 16GB one is the USB stick you're booting off [10:31] I then see a 2TB disk and a 500GB disk [10:31] kristhian: I thought you said you have 1 disk [10:32] ikonia: still the same [10:32] rizonz: you've not changed anything [10:33] rizonz: I asked you to echo $PS1 so I could see what it was currently set to [10:33] ikonia: I want to reset it [10:33] rizonz: yes, I'm aware of that [10:39] ikonia: the other one is a usb [10:40] kristhian: so you have 2 usb disks plugged in ? [10:40] ikonia: yes [10:40] kristhian: do you know if you are using "LVM" on your linux disk ? [10:41] it is the bootable pen drive [10:41] i do not know what "LVM" is [10:41] is it a virtual machine? [10:41] no [10:41] it's a disk management, lets just test, can you run the following command please [10:41] so in that case, no [10:42] ok [10:42] "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" [10:42] i can run the lvm [10:42] wait [10:43] ikonia: i don't have sda2 here [10:44] kristhian: you can run the lvm ? [10:44] you don't have sda2 ? it's listed in the pastebin you pasted [10:44] kristhian: did you run the command I gave you [10:44] sudo mount /dev/sda2/mnt [10:44] mount: can't find /dev/sda2/mnt in /etc/fstab [10:44] yes [10:44] i tried using the "lvm" first [10:44] kristhian: no, there is a SPACE there [10:44] and no - I didn't tell you to "type lvm" [10:45] kristhian: you really need to stop doing thing randomly, no-one told you to "use lvm" [10:45] and look at what I put [10:45] 10:42 < ikonia> "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt" [10:45] look at the space [10:45] not /dev/sda2/mnt [10:46] ok done [10:46] sorry about that [10:46] what's in the /mnt directory btw? [10:47] kristhian: your root disk is on /mnt now [10:47] kristhian: so can you please now pastebin the output of "ls -la /mnt" please [10:48] kristhian: if you have any problems/questions or you're unclear, just ask, don't run random commands, more so if you don't know what they do [10:49] ok [10:50] ah, so /dev/sda2 <- is root disk? [10:50] i just mounted my rootdisk to /mnt? [10:50] something like that? [10:50] thats right [10:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24770883/ [10:52] hi is there a good reference guide with examples on how to use the ip command..im kinda noob :/ [10:53] I've tried a git gui (smartgit) and unfortunately it (I) did a 'git reset -q HEAD -- FILE'. That file had some uncommitted changes. Am I screwed now, or is there a way to undo the discard? [10:53] kristhian: so that looks very good, apart from a few odd things [10:53] why is vmlinuz in the root file system [10:53] and where is there an initrd and an initrd.old in the root ? [10:54] ikonia: i didnt get to that point [10:54] i only knew that root disks is on /dev/sda2 [10:54] kristhian: what point ? [10:54] i even dont know what vmlinuz does [10:55] kristhian: I'm asking why there is an initrd and an initrd.old and a vmlinuz file there ? [10:55] that shouldnt' be there and can only be there because someone has done it "manually" [10:55] kristhian: lets check out the disk status, can you please run "sudo umount /mnt" please [10:55] ikonia: no idea [10:55] ok [10:56] kristhian: now "sudo fsck -n /dev/sda2" [10:56] guys does ubuntu still use unity? [10:56] boristheanimal: it does until the next major release [10:56] boristheanimal: yes, til 18.04 it'll stay default then change [10:56] ok [10:57] boristheanimal: it'll still be in the repos i think, but not the default de [10:57] oh [10:57] 18.04 will be ubuntu-gnome instead of unity [10:57] it says that filesystem still has errors [10:57] hmm thats sounds interesting [10:57] kristhian: ok, thats what I epected [10:57] kristhian: are there any critical files on that disk ? [10:57] ikonia no [10:58] i dont even know what vmlinuz and initd does [10:58] kristhian: ok, so lets do "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2" please [10:59] it says that it cant continue [10:59] and it aborts it [10:59] kristhian: an you pastebin the error and a few lines above/bellow it please [11:01] it says that /dev/sda2 is mounter [11:01] ok [11:02] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24770995/ [11:03] kristhian: did you run "sudo umount /mnt" as I told you earlier [11:03] ikonia: yes [11:03] kristhian: please push the "up" arrow on your keyboard and check the bash history [11:03] kristhian: are you sure you didn't type "unmount" instead of "umount" [11:04] sudo umount /mnt [11:04] umount: /mnt: not mounted [11:04] i run it again [11:04] can you pastebin the output of the commmand "mount" please [11:04] ok [11:05] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24771008/ [11:06] kristhian: ahh, it's automounted [11:06] kristhian: please run "sudo umount /media/ubuntu/d4522b6b-3f5e-434f-8257-e11aa207c40c" [11:06] kristhian: and then "sudo umount /media/ubuntu/3E66-6421" [11:06] is there an offtopic channel? [11:07] done [11:07] yarddog: for general chat there is ##chat [11:07] kristhian: ok, lets try "sudo fsck -y /dev/sda2" again please [11:07] well in that case, this article is a bit long but a good read, https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/05/25/post_unity_linux_futures/ [11:08] yarddog: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [11:08] yarddog: why are you posting that here ? [11:08] yarddog: we don't need that here - it's offtopic [11:08] i asked [11:08] yarddog: yes, and I told you [11:08] its about ubuntu [11:08] so ? [11:08] not chat [11:08] yep, i think i got it fixed [11:08] i mean you got it fixed [11:08] kristhian: great, so shutdown the machine, unplug ALL the USB disks (lets do this clean first) [11:09] kristhian: then try to power on your machine [11:09] yarddog: no one wants random articles pushed into a channel [11:09] very well, wont happen again :/ [11:09] yarddog: this is ubuntu support channel [11:09] yarddog: thanks [11:09] your point is made [11:10] yarddog: not a problem, thank you [11:10] ikonia: so i need to shutdown? [11:10] kristhian: yes [11:10] and reopen again [11:10] not reboot? [11:10] to cleat it out [11:10] kristhian: lets be very clean on this occasion [11:10] ok [11:10] see you later [11:10] kristhian: shutdown the machine - unplug all the USB disks, then power it back on and try to boot your ubuntu install [11:10] i will be back in a bit [11:11] ok [11:23] back [11:23] so now my system is ok [11:23] i just wonder what happened [11:24] and now sources.list is writeable again [11:24] ikonia: can you explain what you did? please [11:26] i am just following your instructions lately, but i am not getting it, so basically there is some files in my root disk that was put on to exploit the system or break it? [11:26] something like that [11:29] kristhian: so for some reason your file system got corrupted, the OS puts the file system into read only mode when it finds corruption, to stop more damage [11:29] kristhian: we just fixed the corruption [11:30] i see === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [11:31] so what is the possible cause or where did i get the corruption? === jstein_ is now known as jstein [12:14] yo [12:41] paint.net on ubuntu, is that possible ? [12:42] kristhian: prolly apt add excited without closing the file. Still doesn't explain file system cmgoing read only. Damaged sources.list doesn't do that. Ive had sources.list corrupted hundreds of times. Never got system is emergency mode. [12:43] ph88^: it's a website ? [12:43] what do you mean [12:43] ok, but anyways thanks [12:44] i just didnt know how did that happen. because i just put on a repo in sources.list and updated apt [12:44] kristhian: that wasn't the problem [12:44] kristhian: something else happened [12:45] yes, i think so too ikonia, but i can't figure it out [12:45] kristhian: the fact that you have vmlinux and initrd and initrd.old in your root file system suggests other things have been going on with your file system [12:45] anyways, what does vmlinuz and the initrd. do? [12:45] or was it initrd [12:46] kristhian: it's the kernel [12:46] it shouldn't be in the root file system [12:46] hence why I'm wondering who/what was messing with your file system [12:46] ikonia: aren't those symlinks there by default in the install? [12:46] EriC^^: they where not symlinks in this case [12:47] hence the question around "what's been going on" with his file system [12:47] oh [12:48] i just couldnt pinpoint who does it, if it was done on purpose. [12:48] kristhian: I wouldn't worry about it being honest [12:48] couldnt figure it out as well [12:49] kristhian: I'd just use your machine and keep an eye out for disk warnings as your hard disk may be failing [12:49] ikonia: if those things are kernel and it can be used to access me remotely [12:49] then i should worry about it [12:49] kristhian: no ,don't worry about it [12:49] don't make more out of it than there is [12:49] ikonia: ok, if you say so [12:50] anyways thanks again [12:50] not a problem, glad your working [12:50] yeah, thanks to you [12:50] no problem, [12:57] there is also one time that i think i visited a site that a friend made me visit, and before i am active to pay per click sites, after i visited a friend's site i tried to visit a payperclick site which is clicksense, then it is redirecting me to yougayporn.com. at first i thought that the site was broken or something but then it has been 3 days that it does that. so i decided to go on channel #security and ask solution to [12:57] the problem, one guy helps me out to change the directory of firefox, since i am using firefox as a web browser. i just remembered, because i got in this situation, similar to what have happened before [12:58] sorry for my english, i hope it is not messy to read :D [13:01] kristhian: its fine [13:03] hehe, thanks. yep, in short i have been a victim of dns spoofing before, or if it is correct to call it that way [13:08] hello [13:33] I've got an old Auria HDMI/DVI/VGA Monitor which I use the DVI input for my Ubuntu 16.04 device and the HDMI input for a macOS device. When I switch to the HDMI input, it works fine, but when I used the DVI input for Ubuntu, it flickers every on and off 10-30 seconds. [13:35] hi can anyone tell me if Ubuntu 17 supports cpu's with built in video cards? [13:37] Does anybody use dnsmasq as a LAN DNS server? [13:43] transhuman: mine does ok with the integrated. ymmv [13:44] rfmon: that's the default until recently with network-manager, so i guess yes? [13:52] ppf nevermind, I got it working.

I think [15:29] so what is the official word on this please? [15:31] MWM, you would have the openradeon or openAMD gpu driver now, i think [15:31] * depends on the gpu chip [15:32] oerheks: that is correct to my knowledge also. Before I knew that support had ended I did try to install the drivers from the AMD page and it apprently worked. I had thought it would not though [15:32] MWM: fglrx ("Catalyst") has been discontinued by AMD. [15:32] MWM: the new hotness is amdgpu [15:32] do you know what you have installed? [15:33] amdGPU pro perhaps? [15:33] linux drivers don't have "pro" versions [15:33] jerichowasahoax, yes, AMD does with their closed driver [15:33] if you paid for a driver I have some very bad news [15:33] looks like amdgpu_pro http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx [15:33] amdgpu is proprietary though [15:34] oh, pro meaning proprietary [15:34] there it is in the "configuration" line: driver = amdgpu [15:34] not sure haha [15:35] but in the amd website you get the amdgpu-pro thats what im running here too [15:35] don't use the website. [15:35] did a kernel upgrade and it broke though :( [15:36] I guess I didnt understand what fglrx was. I had thought it was something kanged together by linux junkies or something, I never knew it was an official AMD "thing" [15:36] please use the website for the Pro driver, jerichowasahoax is spreading fud. [15:36] the website is likely to give you a version of the driver that isn't compatible with your kernel [15:36] please stop it, jerichowasahoax [15:36] oerheks: excuse me? [15:36] oerheks: that's incredibly insulting [15:37] oerheks: i demand an apology. [15:37] well ... if not the website then what? [15:37] MWM your package manager [15:37] MWM, website for the pro driver is fine. [15:37] !ati [15:37] Open driver for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2) fglrx (older cards, unsupported by AMD in 16.04+). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units . For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [15:37] jerichowasahoax: that make sense. but its worth a try ay, its pretty solid.. working great here [15:38] The system chose radeon something or other for itself from the repositories and my gpu didnt quite do what I wanted. So then if not the website... where? [15:38] not using my upgraded kernel because i think i have to redo the driver install [15:38] secnice: i still have PTSD over drivers from the website bricking my system and forcing a reinstall [15:38] MWM, that is a whole diffent situation, (open)radeon does not work wirh amdgpu pro [15:38] secnice: because nvidia decided to leave a nasty bug in the installer for three whole releases [15:39] oerheks: I'm still waiting on that apology. [15:39] jerichowasahoax, not going to happen [15:39] jerichowasahoax: dont worry about him, whats PTSD? [15:40] secnice: PTSD is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm being hyperbolic with it, but you might know it as that thing that causes exmilitary to freak out when they hear gunfire [15:41] oerheks: last chance before I call !ops [15:41] package manager is listing that I have the correct version installed. I guess I just thought it wouldnt be there because I didnt understand what had happened with fglrx [15:41] previously was not using an AMD card :) [15:42] jerichowasahoax: I see, but its amd the issue here, screw nvidia :) [15:42] hehe [15:42] secnice: true, but using the package manager anyway has other benefits [15:43] secnice: like automatic updates [15:44] secnice: and sometimes security patches, because even proprietary drivers have a part that needs to be compiled from source for your kernel [15:44] jerichowasahoax: yes, thats alot easier, better on that regards.. agree [15:45] !ops oerheks is extremely rude and does not apologize when he launches personal attacks on other users [15:46] and he of course sabotages the bot === imr is now known as middletime [15:47] Well gents, I think I can manage from here. Ill stop back in some other time when Linux confuses me... in a few minutes perhaps :0 [15:47] MWM: there's always someone here, good luck === middletime is now known as isReKT2000 [15:48] Hello everyone === isReKT2000 is now known as imReKt1000 === imReKt1000 is now known as middletime [16:53] fun error, I tried to copy/paste a file in the trash, jst testing, the error is Operation not supported by backend [17:22] Hello, I just set up Squirrelmail last night.

[17:47] RenegadeZed, chrome is only 64bit [17:47] RenegadeZed, even Firefox now requires a fairly decent CPU with SSE2 support [17:48] RenegadeZed, what recaptcha is that? where does it appear [17:48] Can a 32 bit laptop run a 64 bit software? [17:49] Kostkon, the recaptcha before login in freenode [17:49] no no [17:49] :) [17:49] 64 bit run 32 [17:49] 32 not run 64 [17:50] RenegadeZed processor is [17:51] Is there anything I can do with Ubuntu server to keep an HDMI signal alive?

Not the best way to troubleshoot something lol [17:55] andchat [17:55] klient [17:55] +1 for andchat [17:55] Yeah I'm using the browser version [17:56] how do I install flash plugin in 17.04 [17:57] pravin, sudo apt install flashplugin-installer [17:57] YankDownUnder, that's fine for this purpose, but how do I do that? [17:57] Can I download Andchat for lubuntu 17.04? [17:57] pravin: https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-install-flash.html [17:57] thanks [17:58] pravin: first result on google btw [17:58] RenegadeZed: andchat is an android app [17:58] Trel, Without knowing your setup, you should be able to turn off "power saving" from the control panel of your particular desktop... [17:58] leftyfb: its not working [17:59] YankDownUnder, I said this is Ubuntu server.... [17:59] hey guys, I'm having issues with crontab not working, not sure how to troubleshoot it [17:59] There's no desktop [17:59] RenegadeZed, for lubuntu, try: sudo snap install hexchat [17:59] jabbslad: It's more than likely the script you're running, not crontab [17:59] kostkon: why snap? [18:00] leftyfb, will remain updated [18:00] Trel, Check the list of services for "power" - disable that service...I think it's called "upowerd" - either which, you can list the services that systemctl runs easily enough. [18:00] Trel: https://askubuntu.com/questions/138918/how-do-i-disable-the-blank-console-screensaver-on-ubuntu-server [18:00] Thanks kostkon [18:00] leftyfb: the script runs fine when I run it with the user [18:01] jappish: tell your script to run with bash -x and output std out/err to a file to debug [18:01] RenegadeZed install hexchat [18:01] ubuntu [18:01] jappish: I'm going to guess you don't have full path names for some applications you're calling in your script [18:02] terminal sudo su pass [18:02] apt install hexchat [18:02] Trel, The resolution provided by leftyfb works best. [18:02] leftyfb: not that familiar with linux, but I have full path names.. not sure if cron should be running for user aswell as root though? [18:02] osmc@Trdck:~$ ps aux | grep cron root 531 0.0 0.5 3476 2008 ?

[18:03] leftyfb: sure [18:04] YankDownUnder, I JUST ended up on that page, I'm in the middle of edting the default grub settings now XD [18:04] leftyfb: https://pastebin.com/Z3UsXdZR [18:04] kostkon: thanks [18:04] jappish: that is not your script. That is your crontab [18:05] jappish: using sudo in cron isn't suggested [18:05] http://imgur.com/a/XBSO5 RenegadeZed see simple [18:05] leftyfb: =) this has been working for years.. had to reinstall, now it's not [18:05] leftyfb: just tried sudo since it wasn't working no matter what I tried [18:06] pravin, about snap version of hexchat? [18:06] jappish: which job isn't working? [18:06] leftyfb: non of them [18:06] leftyfb: nothing is run [18:07] jappish: look in your syslog [18:07] leftyfb: sorry, where is that? [18:08] RenegadeZed, also you'll need this now: sudo apt install snapd-xdg-open [18:08] jappish: you're doing some linux system-specific stuff with no knowledge of how to manage linux? [18:08] leftyfb: exactly =) [18:09] <[twisti]> something seems to be blocking my ipv6 port 80, how can i find out what it is ? [18:10] Thanks all, I'm going to test that out [18:10] [twisti]: define blocking [18:10] leftyfb: it's odd, I've installed cron on 3 other systems basically running same type of commands, and everything works... not sure what happened after the reinstall [18:10] jappish: permissions? [18:10] <[twisti]> leftyfb: im trying to start a docker container that binds to the port, and it claims its already in use: "Bind for 0.0.0.0:80 failed: port is already allocated" [18:10] [twisti]: sudo lsof -i :80 [18:11] <[twisti]> docker-pr 1566 root 4u IPv6 18902 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN) --- im guessing that means its another docker process ? [18:11] <[twisti]> i guess ill have to kill them one by one, docker itself is claiming its not using the port [18:11] [twisti]: yes [18:11] <[twisti]> thanks [18:12] leftyfb: I think it might be some permissions that got messed up, got a permission error a few days back, not sure how to check again.. searching now [18:12] leftyfb: I know there should be a command that runs the command like cron, can't find it again [18:12] got 2 or 3 errors from hexchat saying it didnt have permission and stuff id do wouldnt be saved.. but at least its working [18:13] jappish: cron is not your issue [18:13] jappish: try running the individual entries in your crontab from the command line to see what they do. without sudo [18:14] leftyfb: think I found the command: cron: can't open or create /var/run/crond.pid: Permission denied [18:14] jappish: cron is not your issue. Whatever you're doing with cron or it's "commands" isn't going to help you. What you just posted will not help you. [18:15] leftyfb: I tried running the commands in crontab without sudo, they are working [18:15] find /mnt/3TB/downloads -mtime +2 -size +20k -exec rm {} \; [18:15] that works for you? [18:15] leftyfb: yup [18:15] also, contrary to what you posted above, you do not have the full path for all the commands in your crontab [18:16] so only way to boot up my fresh install of lubuntu 17.04 is to add acpi=off before quiet splash.. is there a permanent/better solution to this? [18:16] leftyfb: no? /home/osmc/S... is in root isn't it? [18:16] jappish: find [18:16] leftyfb: ah =) you mean that [18:16] <[twisti]> leftyfb and everyone helpful here, i very much appreciate that its so easy to get help with issues i understand nothing about here, thank you guys for all the time and effort you put in, it really means a lot to people like me with limited knowledge and resources to figure things out [18:17] leftyfb: still.. the other one should run, no? [18:17] leftyfb: both sickbeard and sorttv [18:17] jappish: and get rid of sudo. If you need su privileges to run something in a cron job, then put it into root's crontab [18:17] jappish: no [18:17] jappish: perl and nice [18:18] no full paths [18:18] leftyfb: sudo gone, just tested to see if it would do the trick... removed now [18:19] leftyfb: oh yeah.. I'll see if it works with absolute paths [18:20] jappish: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24774717/ [18:20] jappish: btw, personally, I would put your cleanup entries (find/delete) into a script and call the script instead of basically using cron as your script [18:23] jappish: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24774740/ http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24774742/ [18:23] leftyfb: thanks man, that's really nice [18:25] leftyfb: rebooting to see if it starts sickbeard [18:26] Is "VolBytes" in "list media" supposed to be the size of a tape drive? .. I'm new to Bacula and just started setting things up but VolBytes is only 64,512 for my LTO4 drives. [18:28] leftyfb: didn't word :( ... running 'python /home/osmc/SickBeard/SickBeard.py &' did though [18:28] *work [18:29] jappish: on another note, your 2 lines deleting old directories, i'm pretty sure the 2nd line is pointless [18:29] jappish: what does your crontab look like right now? [18:31] leftyfb: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24774812/ [18:32] jappish: sudo grep -i cron /var/log/syslog [18:32] hi jappish [18:33] leftyfb: on that other note... you mean the ../finished entry? I think I need it since I don't want finished to be deleted from /dowloads [18:33] uxfi: hi! [18:33] jappish: to be honest, I'm have no experience with @reboot so I'm not how/if that's supposed to work. I would suggest running the other entries at like 1 minute intervals and look in syslog like I posted above and see if they're running and if there's any errors. [18:34] leftyfb: grep: /var/log/syslog: No such file or directory [18:34] jappish: finished will be deleted with that command [18:34] leftyfb: should be supported, I'v been running it for over a year.. up until the reinstall [18:34] jappish: what version of ubuntu are you running? [18:35] leftyfb: it didn't delete finished when it worked before... [18:35] jappish: actually, if this is a fresh install of ubuntu, syslog will most certainly be there. If it's not, then you are not running Ubuntu. [18:36] leftyfb: ehm....not running ubuntu..*ashamed* this is OSMC on a raspberry pi.. but I've got great help here before and osmc channel is sleeping..soo.. ice cream? [18:36] :/ [18:37] jappish: you will need to seek help from osmc or raspberry pi [18:38] leftyfb: yeah.. I guess I'll make a thread on the forums.. thanks for the help, really appreciate it [19:04] Coud anyone please help me with this same issue posted on more forums please? http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/209788-no-automatically-internet-connection-until-not-started-manually.html http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5718840 https://askubuntu.com/questions/921960/internet-connection-only-avaiable-if-started-manually [19:04] https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/369096/how-to-get-internet-connection-starting-automatically-without-manually-running [19:04] kostkon, thanks for helping me troubleshoot pulse the other day.

But you'll need to install a few packages, set the option in fstab, then run a few commands to set the user and limits. Might want to google a disk quota setup guide [20:42] ill check it out [20:43] thanks === nchamber- is now known as nchambers === xsmltx-afk is now known as xsmltx === n-st- is now known as n-st === oerheks_ is now known as oerheks [21:14] hello [21:15] how can I force ddrescue to ignore what the system "thinks" is the drive size? === satanist_ is now known as satanist [21:15] the drive reports itself as 804GB, but in trality it is 3000GB [21:15] *reality [21:18] I think it has a -s option [21:19] yea, it only seems to be a maximum cap [21:19] $ sudo ddrescue /dev/sdh /media/maxwell/2D6EABEA60CDFA90/VMServer2.img /VMServer2Rescue.log --size 3T [21:19] GNU ddrescue 1.19 [21:19] Press Ctrl-C to interrupt [21:19] rescued: 801569 MB, errsize: 8192 B, current rate: 0 B/s [21:19] ipos: 788071 MB, errors: 2, average rate: 32378 kB/s [21:19] opos: 788071 MB, run time: 6.87 h, successful read: 41 s ago [21:20] hi [21:21] sorry [21:21] for the paste [21:21] Anyway, it seems to stop at 801569MB [21:22] but then again, maybe it just can't read more? [21:22] is there a way to test this? [21:22] Mmm [21:23] I think you can change the cylinder size [21:23] To recognize more of the drive [21:23] what should I change it to? [21:23] I don't want to fudge stuff up even worse [21:24] I think they need to be multiples of something... [21:24] right? [21:25] does fdisk -l tell you the size of the disk ? [21:25] *the sector size, [21:26] Disk /dev/sdh: 746.5 GiB, 801569726464 bytes, 1565565872 sectors [21:26] What is the units below that [21:26] 512 or something else? [21:26] Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes [21:26] Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes [21:27] so 512 [21:27] That seems like an odd size for a disk. [21:27] ikr [21:28] isn't it usually 4096? [21:28] For a 3tb the physical sectors usually are 4096 but that is up to manfc [21:28] Advanced format disks can have sector sizes up to 4k, but they also emulate the 512k standard size. [21:30] so I need to let the system know that the drive actually has 5859375000 sectors (3 000 000 000 000 / 512) [21:30] How should I do this? [21:33] It looks like there used to be a way to do this with sgdisk, but hdparm can only display the geometry. [21:34] It looks like cfdisk can take those arguments at startup, but repartitioning would obviously be destructive. [21:35] Yea [21:35] Its basically a disk from a vm host === leo_ is now known as leydekker [21:36] So a virtual disk? [21:36] or a physical disk used to host vms? [21:36] I need to recover a virtual disk from a fudged up physical disk [21:38] hmmm [21:38] for example, when I ran testdisk on it it found traces of a buch of partitions, but I think they may just be from the individual disk images [21:38] Sounds to me like the drive geometry is messed up =/ [21:39] in the GUI Disks thingy it shows the drive as "Free space" and Partitioning: Unknown (PMBR) [21:40] any way to at least make an image of everything on the drive? [21:41] You got the 800g right ? [21:41] cuz right now, who knows what might be going on inside that thing. It may as well crash any time [21:41] yea [21:41] on another external drive [21:42] So you got an image of what you can currently access. I'd try to use testdisk to manually do the geometry, but that can easily mess stuff up quick [21:43] well, doesn't changing geometry not actually modify data? [21:44] It could make the entire drive inaccessible though [21:44] isn't it possible to change it back though? [21:45] Don't know, been a long time since I used testdisk [21:45] testdisk, always work with a copy [21:47] oerheks: what do you mean? [21:47] you mean copy from the broken drive first? [21:47] cloning the drive first [21:47] well, thats what I was trying to do [21:47] you used ddrescue, now make a copy of that partition and work with the copy, not with the original clone, else you have nothing if it goes wrong [21:48] no, not from the broken drive, you already did that, no? [21:48] but I don't have the full copy [21:48] I only got 801G out of 3T [21:48] oh, without a full copy, good luck there [21:49] The system only detects that much [21:49] Would clonezilla be able to do a full copy even if the drive is reporting 800g instead of 3tb ? [21:49] dd would copy, ddrecue too. [21:49] Ok so same thing [21:49] ddrescue only did 801G [21:50] then finished [21:51] kenrin thinks that the drive geometry is messed up [21:51] is there a way to ignore the geometry and just copy bit to bit? [21:55] what command did you use? and what are the sizes of the disks? [21:56] sudo ddrescue /dev/sdh /media/maxwell/2D6EABEA60CDFA90/VMServer2.img /VMServer2Rescue.log --size 3T [22:05] I read somethign about ddrescue using raw disk access [22:05] how does that work? === nyuszika7h_ is now known as nyuszika7h [22:11] Quick question has Ubuntu ever had an independent security audit performed? [22:12] iirc it has but I dont remember when and by who === Piece_Maker is now known as Acou_Bass [22:22] Hi all :) can you please help me? this here is an old version of the rxvt-unicode terminal: https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/rxvt-unicode.png ; if i install the new version for 17.04 (apt-get install rxvt-unicode) then it looks very different. and unfortunately it doesn't have any options which you could change. But this glowing text color of the old rxvt (as at the image) is so awesome! Could you please help me to get exactly this text [22:22] color in any terminal where it's possible? ;-) [22:22] Any way to install lxdm WITHOUT installing gnome on Ubuntu Server? [22:28] "glowing text color"? [22:28] it looks like just white [22:28] like, rxvt -bg black -fg white [22:29] most people don't use white for the foreground because it makes default indistinguishable from \e[97m === MCcomando is now known as RedOmega [22:31] Trel: I don't think so. But why would you want to? [22:31] Random832, thank you. i'll try white but it looks like something else [22:32] leftyfb, because I want to use lxdm to launch Kodi on an Ubuntu server install to handle autologin and all that nice stuff and have absolutely no desire for gnome or any of it's massive list of dependencies [22:34] StevieW, can you post a screenshot of what your current rxvt looks like? [22:34] Trel: http://kodi.wiki/view/Archive:HOW-TO:Autostart_Kodi_for_Linux [22:34] because that is definitely white - the fact that it's a bitmap font might also matter. [22:35] leftyfb, that doesn't work right, hence why I want to use a display manager [22:35] Trel: why doesn't it work right? [22:36] That's the state I'm in right now, and if kodi is exited, it's dropped to a console login, and settings are not saving, so any time the machine is rebooted, everything is back to defaults [22:36] StevieW, it does have options. google urxvt color schemes, it can be set via xresources. for hipsters http://ciembor.github.io/4bit/ (click "get scheme" when done) [22:36] Trel: sounds like you don't have kodi installed correctly. [22:38] I do.... [22:38] it's a brand new install [22:38] There's very little that could have gone wrong [22:39] Considering the steps are adding a PPA and then running apt-get install [22:39] except it's not saving settings [22:39] Trel: you will probably be better off asking for help in #kodi [22:40] others there more than likely are familiar with this situation [22:40] I'm asking there about the Kodi specific things. I asked here about how to install lxdm (or any display manager really) without installing the entireity of gnome [22:44] i am adding an adddress to hosts, something like 127.0.0.1 https://www.somedomain.com [22:44] I think I may have found a better option though [22:44] For my use [22:44] however when i browse to this domain it goes to the real one [22:44] instead my local one === Dragan is now known as Relsak [22:51] hi. how can my script launch a program that is associated with some extension? for example a .jpeg file [22:52] image.jpeg should open image.jpeg in default image browser [22:54] netameta, drop the scheme from that, just do 127.0.0.1 www.somedomain.com instead [22:54] jer [22:54] tried that [22:54] nada [22:54] still goes to the original one [22:54] In face now i've added an entry for every possible combination [22:55] you may also want to add somedomain.com [22:55] http/https with www/ without ww [22:55] tried that [22:55] what browser are you using? [22:55] wait now it works [22:55] i guess it just took some time [22:55] may be cache [22:58] hi, does anybody know a way to search a crashdump file (in kdump v6 format) with a regex? i tried the crash utility but as far as i can tell it does not support regex on its search feature [22:58] is /etc/sudoers guranteed to be the sudoer's file in ubuntu? [23:01] yes [23:02] neat === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er [23:02] you should never edit it directly though dtscode [23:02] dtscode: there is also /etc/sudoers.d/ [23:02] hggdh: that appears to be commented out by default [23:03] ikonia: is there a way to do in a script with visudo? [23:03] dtscode: not really, why would you script this [23:03] it's supposed to be either interactive or template driven [23:04] dtscode: as of install yes. but it should be verified as time goes by [23:04] I have various servers that I like to have the same basic setup, one of which is how I want my sudoers file [23:05] I'd suggest using config management tools to deploy verified templates [23:05] leftyfb, I got it fixed, I installed nodm, and set that to run as the user and use /usr/bin/kodi-standalone as the xsession [23:05] if this were production/job stuff I would. I don't want to maintain something like a puppet server [23:19] hola everyone [23:41] the fish version on ubuntu 16 LTS is 2.2.0 I want to upgrade it myself to 2.6.0. Could someone direct me to instructions on how I can do this? Do I have to compile it myself and then package it as a .deb or can I use the existing 2.2 deb to make it easier somehow? [23:46] nhooyr: https://launchpad.net/~fish-shell/+archive/ubuntu/release-2 [23:46] !checkinstall | nhooyr [23:46] nhooyr: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled.

[23:46] Ben64: installing from the ppa is going to be a lot easier [23:46] indeed [23:46] ah cool thanks [23:47] Is there a way to enable the backports repo for the PPA builders? [23:47] StevieW: example of what you can do with urxvt by putting config options in ~/.Xresources https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jushur/weechat/master/Screenshot%20from%202017-06-05%2001-33-43.png [23:49] jushur looks great =) [23:52] now i want to have the standard font in the xfce4-terminal, because i realized that's it's not so comfortable to right-click in rxvt (only with ctrl & right-click holding possible). [23:53] i found out what the standard font in rxvt is: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/104777/what-is-the-default-font-used-in-rxvt ; is it possible to set exactly this font in xfce4-terminal? =) [23:55] StevieW: https://askubuntu.com/questions/283830/how-to-change-the-font-of-various-terminal-emulators [23:55] StevieW: first result on google
