| kenrin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 01:03 |
| ox1de | how can i install video drivers when i cant interface with no screen visibility? | 01:06 |
| kenrin | Do you not get a terminal if you ctrl+alt+f1-5 ? | 01:06 |
| kenrin | I think there is also a vga failsafe you can do but not sure on that | 01:07 |
| donofrio | so I'm wondering about the "force read" mode url what am I doing wrong here (about:reader?url=www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2017/06/teacher_retirement_deal_includ.html | 01:12 |
| ox1de | how do i do a vga failsafe? | 01:14 |
| kenrin | !nomodeset | 01:18 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 01:18 |
| kenrin | Think that is it | 01:18 |
| Bashing-om | ox1de: For trouble shooting purposes; prior to " vga failsafe " can you not log into the system in console ( at the login screen key combo ctl+alt+F1 ) ? | 01:19 |
| Li | I'm wondering how did Ubuntu bundle lack so many trivial yet very important things! example the suggestion to save opened files when the user decides to close it without making any changes!!! | 01:28 |
| Li | being unable to right click and open the terminal in specific folder if nautilus view is set to list not icon!!! | 01:29 |
| kenrin | Does nautilus not do the same thing in other distros ? | 01:30 |
| Li | how using a simple-scan becomes such a mission impossible task to accomplish!!! | 01:30 |
| Li | kenrin: I recall using it on fedora at least without such inconvenience | 01:31 |
| kenrin | my natilus can open in terminal on list | 01:31 |
| Li | are you on xenial? | 01:31 |
| kenrin | yes | 01:31 |
| Li | that is strange??? how do you do that? | 01:32 |
| Li | ah I got it .. from the buttom side when the folder is not full of items .. that is doable | 01:32 |
| Li | but not when the folder is completely full ... | 01:33 |
| kenrin | you can click on folders and do it too | 01:33 |
| Bashing-om | ox1de: ^^ Did I loose you ? | 01:34 |
| Li | yes but it will cost me 1 more click | 01:34 |
| ox1de | still here | 01:34 |
| oerheks | right click and open the terminal in specific folder >> install nautilus-actions nautilus-admin | 01:35 |
| ox1de | still trying to solve the glitch | 01:35 |
| Li | on the long run those are billions of clicks | 01:35 |
| kenrin | Why you clicking anyway. I hardly touch my mouse | 01:35 |
| Bashing-om | ox1de: xtk+alr+F1 doable to gain a console ? Can you login at the console ? | 01:35 |
| Li | actually very minor things but such improvements can make the OS much better one | 01:36 |
| ox1de | loged in- still dark screen | 01:36 |
| oerheks | Li time to install synaptic, more detailed softwarecenter, enough to explore, a distro is just a small set of tools. | 01:36 |
| kenrin | Well, you don't like nautilus then complain to nautilus devs or use another file manager | 01:36 |
| kenrin | I don't see what ubuntu has to do with that | 01:37 |
| Bashing-om | ox1de: ouch . Now I do not know what to advise . | 01:37 |
| Li | well, for example when you close gedit it forcefully offers you to "close without saving, cancel, save as" then you MUST CLICK one of the given options .. while in Windows you just press N | 01:38 |
| Li | that is just a small example why I should use the mouse Krenair | 01:38 |
| Li | kenrin | 01:38 |
| Li | kenrin: I'm talking about the bundle as a whole, besides I saw nautilus doing fine on Fedora | 01:39 |
| leftyfb | Li: again, that's a gedit issue, not ubuntu | 01:39 |
| leftyfb | Li: also, if you close and hit ALT+w it will select close without saving | 01:40 |
| kenrin | Li I think you should be in ubuntu discuss, but everyone you have said doesn't even relate to ubuntu | 01:40 |
| Li | no one would say it's a notpad issue not windows when it comes to microsoft. | 01:40 |
| kenrin | s/everyone/everything | 01:40 |
| kenrin | because microsoft makes notepad... | 01:41 |
| leftyfb | Li: Microsoft made notepad. It's not open source and it's only available in Microsoft Windows. So yes, it's a Windows/Microsoft problem. Unlike gedit in Ubuntu | 01:41 |
| Li | leftyfb: negative .. alt+w will force the same 3 exact choices | 01:41 |
| leftyfb | Li: you are wrong | 01:41 |
| leftyfb | Li: open gedit -> type stuff -> ALT+F4 to close -> ALT+w will close without saving | 01:42 |
| Li | leftyfb: I understand it's MS product but also gedit is cannonical choice to add on ubuntu, I'm talking about the whole things as one package | 01:42 |
| leftyfb | Li: is there particular issue we can help you with or did you just come here to complain? | 01:43 |
| Li | leftyfb: you made it try twice but I assure it doesn't work without forcing those three mentioned options | 01:43 |
| Li | gedit 3.18.3 here maybe you have something else | 01:43 |
| Li | leftyfb: are you annoyed by my complains? | 01:44 |
| leftyfb | Li: multiple people here are annoyed by your complaints. If you need help, ask your question and give details on the issue. Otherwise, file bugs using ubuntu-bug or file bug reports/feature requests on launchpad or the upstream project website. | 01:46 |
| Li | Oh so you even know how others feel about my conversation! good skills, I suggest change your mindset and look to my "non-complaints" as positive productive conversation if someone wants to do something about it. | 01:48 |
| Li | in anyway, you don't need to reply if you don't see the point of what I'm talking about it. | 01:48 |
| oerheks | grab the code, change the keys or behaviour and build your custom gedit | 01:48 |
| Li | maybe someone else not annoyed and would like to share view points with me | 01:49 |

| Came | Hi, New Here, Looking for a Linux solution to log/audit NTFS shares (who modified, deleted a file), I don't want to use a Microsoft Solution | 03:39 |
| Jordan_U | Came: By "ntfs shares" do you mean CIFS shares? If not, what do you mean exactly? What is your end goal? | 03:40 |
| Came | I have a Windows file server, with multiple users (on Windows) accessing this server | 03:41 |
| Came | I Should say SMB | 03:41 |
| Jordan_U | Came: It seems to me like a proper log/audit needs to be made from the server hosting the share. | 03:42 |
| Came | That's what Microsoft say, but the logs will be huge, I told myself that a Linux server, like Nagios, can grab the data from the windows share server | 03:44 |

| hi_im_trip | hello, i may have a serious problem and deleted or formatted the partitions including the partition i created to backup a girl's HD to install ubuntu for her for the first time, this is not looking good for her and she's freaking out on me now | 03:57 |
| phiona | Bashing-om: the system is also very slow. closing an app seems to take about 30 seconds. | 03:59 |
| Bashing-om | hi_im_trip: . from a liveDVD(USB) what shows ' parted -l ' . All the partitions still present ? | 03:59 |
| hi_im_trip | i was just trying to install ubuntu on this girl's macbook pro, something i've done literally hundreds of times, and this time by selecting "use lvm" and "completely erase and install" was checked off, but i thought that in the next screen i could choose which partition to it would erase(stupid me), but, even tho when i clicked install now, i immediately clicked go back when it gave a warning saying that by continuing the | 03:59 |
| hi_im_trip | partitions would be erased, now none of the mac hd partitions are visible and she had her dead mother's photos on there (only copy) and many other important files on a backup partition. it was all too fast to have actually written anything to the disks, so i should be able to recover her files yes? | 03:59 |
| hi_im_trip | let me check | 03:59 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: Yes. First, if you have a drive larger than the drive you're trying to recover data from then *carefully* use dd or GNU ddrescue to make a full image of the drive. If you do not have a large enough drive, get one. | 04:01 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: Most likely you will be able to fix this in a few minutes, but making the image first will take hours. This is still the right way to go. | 04:02 |
| hi_im_trip | failure to communicate with kernel device mapper driver | 04:02 |
| phiona | Bashing-om: Jordan_U: sudo apt -f install seems to be theres no problem. . im restarting now to see if it runs faster. | 04:04 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: After making the backup image of the drive, you can use GParted or testdisk's partition recovery features. I've used testdisk many times and it works great but the UI is aweful and confusing (IMHO). I have no experience with GParted's recovery features, but I assume that the UI is better (see, less chance of making a stupid mistake). | 04:05 |
| hi_im_trip | it also says incompatible libdevmapper (unkwon version) and kernel driver (unknown version) | 04:05 |
| hi_im_trip | Jordan_U, so no chance to use the live usb and gparted to recover? | 04:06 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: Unfortunately I cannot help you more tonight. Good luck, and don't due anything hasty. *Slow down* and think carefully so that you don't take a recoverable situation and make it unrecoverable. | 04:06 |
| hi_im_trip | i do have another hd here, but apparently the only other usb port on here doesn't seem to work | 04:06 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: There is a very high chance that GParted from the LiveUSB will be able to recover the partitions, but *DO NOT* try to do so without making a full drive image first. | 04:08 |
| sadtaco | Okay I'm having trouble installing these RT5370 wifi drivers. I get "recipe for target '_module_/home/z/Downloads/DPO...' failed" | 04:08 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: Slow down, do it right. Tell your friend that someone here said that the data is most likely recoverable but that you should be careful and so it may take some time to get it back in the most careful way. | 04:09 |
| sadtaco | is starting with _module_ correct? That seems weird | 04:09 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: Like maybe wait until tomorrow, when you're not as nervous. I understand that that might be a hard choice for you to make. | 04:10 |
| Jordan_U | hi_im_trip: I need to leave now, sorry. | 04:10 |
| hi_im_trip | Jordan_U, thanks so much for your help, can you kindly tell me the command to do the drive image, and will it work on the other hd if there is enough space but other files? | 04:11 |

| * vegombrei Que-Passa ?? | 07:14 | |
| cristian_c | vegombrei: have ypu tried to configure it? | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | *you | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | *calibrate | 07:15 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: how do i configure it? i looked in the system settings and theres no option for a controller | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | !info jstest-gui | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Package jstest-gui does not exist in zesty | 07:15 |
| cristian_c | !info jstest-gtk | 07:16 |

| cristian_c | vegombrei: dpkg -l | grep joystick | 07:19 |
| cristian_c | vegombrei: is the controller connected to usb port? | 07:19 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: yes | 07:20 |
| hateball | vegombrei: if you unplug it, plug it back in, then run "dmesg" you should see what /dev it gets assigned | 07:20 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: yeah something happened a huge load of information and numbers | 07:21 |
| vegombrei | hateball: what does this mean? shall i pastebin it to ya'll | 07:21 |
| hateball | !paste | vegombrei | 07:21 |
| ubottu | vegombrei: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 07:21 |
| hateball | vegombrei: installing jstest-gtk as cristian_c suggested should pick the device up automatically. but if it doesnt and you need to specify it's good to know what to pick, hence the dmesg thing | 07:22 |
| vegombrei | hateball: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24855290/ | 07:24 |
| vegombrei | hateball: thanks, what are we looking at here thats a lot of numbers and its completely alien | 07:25 |
| cristian_c | there is alsp a github project about to support dragonrise controllers | 07:27 |
| hateball | well it looks like the kernel supports it just fine, just a matter of configuring it then | 07:28 |
| Mrokii | Hello. Can I clone a bootable HD-Partition to a new HD and boot from that? Or do I have to do some adjustments? | 07:28 |
| hateball | vegombrei: did you install jstest-gtk ? | 07:28 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: whats github? | 07:28 |
| vegombrei | hateball: nope, shall i sudo apt-get it? | 07:29 |
| cristian_c | hateball: he can also test with sudo evtest, btw | 07:29 |
| hateball | vegombrei: sudo apt install joystick | 07:29 |
| hateball | cristian_c: yea, but that's not so new-user-friendly :) | 07:29 |
| gulzar | Hi. I am behind proxy (with authentication). On a fresh installtion. I can use firefox after configuration. But if try to apt-get by export_proxy, it just keeps on trying to connect to .archive.ubuntu. . .I need to use non proxy conection for this first(new install) apt-get update. After that I can do update,upgrade from proxy. How to get the apt-get work initailly? There is no synaptic. Can I use wget to download file, place them a | 07:29 |
| hateball | vegombrei: oh, and also "sudo apt install jstest-gtk" | 07:30 |
| vegombrei | hateball: done .. | 07:30 |
| vegombrei | hateball: shall i try and see if it works? | 07:30 |
| Gattyman | Hey there! | 07:31 |
| cristian_c | vegombrei: the application lets you to configure/calibrate the controller | 07:31 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: hmm ok .. so ill try run the retro nes thingy and be right back gimme a moment | 07:32 |
| hateball | vegombrei: you'll want to actually run jstest-gtk to see if the controller works, and possibly re-calibrate it | 07:34 |
| Mrokii | What's the best way to copy a bootable system from on HD to another. The last time I had to reinstall I just made backups of the important prefs and copied them back as needed. But I don't want to have to install all programs manually again and change all preferences by hand. | 07:40 |
| cristian_c | Mrokii: from a live session? | 07:41 |
| sebsebseb | Gattyman: hi | 07:41 |
| cristian_c | or the same running system? | 07:41 |
| Mrokii | chachasmooth: I have a live CD if needed. I can boot from that and copy the data. I realise that copying data from the HD I have booted with isn't the best idea. | 07:43 |
| gulzar | Got it working by editing visudo | 07:43 |
| vegombrei | hateball: it worked, i mean i could calibrate it and stuff however when i start the nes emulator the screen goes blank but theres sound | 07:43 |
| Mrokii | cristian_c: I have a live CD if needed. I can boot from that and copy the data. I realise that copying data from the HD I have booted with isn't the best idea. | 07:45 |
| Mrokii | chachasmooth: Sorry, I chose the wrong nick. Wasn't meaning to send it to you. | 07:46 |
| cristian_c | vegombrei: you should read the nes emulator documentation | 07:53 |
| cristian_c | *official | 07:53 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: lol I was just doing that | 07:54 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: i think i gotts install the emulators properly again im going thru a tutorial and following it step by step | 07:55 |
| cristian_c | Mrokii: do you want just to clone a single partition? | 07:56 |
| hateball | Mrokii: You can use something like Clonezilla if you want to make a full clone of a disk or the partitions | 07:56 |
| hateball | !clonezilla | 07:56 |
| hateball | hmmm | 07:56 |
| Mrokii | cristian_c: Yes, only one partition. Though I'm thinking about transferring the "home"-stuff to another partition, maybe later on, if that's possible afterwards. | 07:57 |
| cristian_c | https://askubuntu.com/questions/637130/clone-single-partition-to-empty-disk | 07:57 |
| Mrokii | hateball: I think I have a "Parted Magic" CD as well, so I could use that for clining, if that's a viable way. | 07:57 |
| cristian_c | JohnP answer | 07:57 |
| Mrokii | cristian_c: Thanks, I'll take a look. | 07:58 |
| vegombrei | cristian_c: dude theres like a ton of stuff i had not installed im doing it right now | 07:59 |
| hateball | Mrokii: iirc parted magic has clonezilla on it | 08:02 |
| Mrokii | hateball: Ah, okay. I haven't used it for a long time. | 08:02 |
| hateball | Mrokii: clonezilla is just a nice frontend for partimage/partclone | 08:03 |
| Mrokii | hateball: Okay. | 08:04 |
| hateball | Mrokii: otherwise you can just rsync to your backup location as well, but you'd need to reinstall grub into MBR when restoring if so | 08:07 |
| Mrokii | hateball: Okay, thanks. I'll have to investigate that. | 08:09 |
| hateball | !backup | 08:10 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 08:10 |
| hateball | !cloning | this is more like it | 08:10 |
| ubottu | this is more like it: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can use the !software package "apt-clone" - See also !automate | 08:10 |
| hateball | ... or not. | 08:10 |
| Mrokii | hateball: Thanks, I guess I'll find a good solution among these. :) | 08:22 |
| hateball | Mrokii: yea it's all dependent on your usecase | 08:23 |
| hateball | for a simple full system restore clonezilla is nice. but if you want to do individual files etc, then maybe rsync instead. and so on | 08:23 |
| Mrokii | I'm more going for a full system restore, but I'll investigate the options further and see what fits best. Thanks again for all the suggestions, hateball and cristian_c. | 08:26 |

| trying3301 | Hi | 11:34 |
| trying3301 | I did a "sudo apt-get purge linux-image-x.x.x-x-generic" for the newest kernel because I was unable to autoremove it. Now when I try apt-get upgrade it doesn't install this newest kernel | 11:36 |
| trying3301 | I guess I've blocked it. How can I unblock it? | 11:36 |
| gulzar | trying3301: apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:38 |
| trying3301 | gulzar I did "apt-get dist-upgrade" and it ends like this:"Calculating upgrade... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded." | 11:39 |
| gulzar | trying3301: if uyou did this afte 'update' , 'upgrade' then you have latest | 11:39 |
| gulzar | trying3301: if you want bleeding edge, then wiki provides the steps | 11:40 |
| trying3301 | gulzar when I was performing a routine update+upgrade I got errors and I had to remove the "4.4.0-80-generic" manually. It's not about bleeding edge. Thanks anyway | 11:41 |
| apsknight | Hello Guys, I need little help in installing LAMP stack in my ubuntu. | 11:42 |
| Mrokii | Hello again. I'm in the process of setting up my new hard disk (SSD) and have a question about the linux-swap-partition. On my old system-HD, "linuxxswap" is within another partition of type "extended". I wonder if this structure is necessary, as it seems that I can create the swap-partition without using some kind of extended-partition. | 11:44 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: better not to use 'swap' parttion on SSD | 11:45 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: I've heard about that but I guess I do need some kind of swap-partition, don't I? | 11:45 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: how much is your RAM? | 11:46 |
| Mrokii | 8 GB | 11:46 |
| trying3301 | I solved my issue with this:" sudo apt-get install linux-image-4.4.0-80-generic" and rebooting now. | 11:46 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: and you ever felt that 8GB is less for your work? | 11:46 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: then No. Swap is if 'suspend to disk'/ hibernate . And if heavy RAM usage like data analysis or using Chrome( :P) . Else swap is not needed | 11:47 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: I'm not sure. On my current HD I do have a swap-partition but I don't know if it ever gets used during regular usage. | 11:47 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: I don't have swap with 8GB ram | 11:48 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: regarding partiton schema. Please open, 'gnome-disk-utility' aka 'disks' and see the line 'Partitioning' after selecting your HDD/SDD | 11:49 |
| gulzar | if that line is GUID then you can have as many primary as you like (practically). IF Master Boot Record then you may need one extended , depending on how many paritions you need | 11:50 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: I'm using Kubuntu / KDE Partition Manager at the moment, so the gnome utility isn't installed. | 11:50 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: either, np | 11:50 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: only the info is important | 11:50 |
| gulzar | is it 'MBR' or 'GUID/GPT/EFI' | 11:50 |
| gulzar | or type in terminal 'sudo fdisk -l' | 11:51 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: I'm looking for the info in kde partition manager | 11:52 |
| Mrokii | Oh, okay, I'll try bash. | 11:52 |
| Mia | Hello channel -- I would like to install ubuntu on my current Windows 10 machine. I've did a few installations using the "install alongside windows 10" option in the past so I believe I know how to install but here is the thing I need: I want windows 10 to be the default OS on this machine and I do not want to see the OS selection page, however I still would like a way to switch to ubuntu (by restart) on this machine somehow... How sho | 11:52 |
| gulzar | Mia: yes possible, for that need to setup a key shortcut to show GRUB, else hide it all time. In Grub set windows as default | 11:53 |
| Mia | gulzar: oh I see | 11:53 |
| Mia | that would be perfect! where can I find more information about this | 11:53 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: Wait, I remember that I used GPT when I created the partition scheme. | 11:54 |
| Mrokii | If I remember correctly | 11:54 |
| zeekhuge | was wondering, why do all the package repos in apt use http and not https ? | 11:55 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: Yep, it's gpt, have just checked with fdisk | 11:55 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: if GPT then no need of extended. Create as many partitions as you like as 'primary' | 11:55 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: Thanks. | 11:55 |
| zeekhuge | and they actually are http, not the case that they are getting redirected. | 11:55 |
| gulzar | Mrokii: and no swap. If swap needed, then you can use 'swap file' | 11:56 |
| a1exas | while attempting to fsck the drive with suspected errors i have a notice that filesys is mounted and am i really sure, and if i unmount i got the message Permission denied while trying to open /dev/sda5 | 11:56 |
| a1exas | please help solve this problem | 11:57 |
| gulzar | Mia: https://askubuntu.com/questions/785757/how-to-hide-grub-unless-key-is-pressed , can do similar searches online | 11:58 |
| gulzar | a1exas: if running any disk check utility better is to use a live disk to avoid any problem | 11:58 |
| gulzar | a1exas: your question is unclear | 11:59 |
| Mia | thank you gulzar for all the gelp | 11:59 |
| gulzar | Mia: anytime, enjoy linux | 11:59 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i have been trying to run it from live USB and got the same errors | 12:00 |
| a1exas | gulzar: so I will try to rephrase it for you | 12:00 |
| muteboy | Hi, I have problems with sound on my Ubuntu/Gnome. Getting sound from videos, music, games, YouTube, but there is no sound/volume indicator in the system tray. Sound section of system settings shows no output or input devices. | 12:00 |
| Mrokii | gulzar: Okay, thanks. I'll go without a swap partition for now and see how it goes. | 12:00 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i need to check a filesystem of a linux disk and if i try it say that it is mounted or if i umnount it if say i don't have permission | 12:00 |
| a1exas | gulzar: doest my answer make it more clear for you now? | 12:01 |
| gulzar | a1exas: from live, don't open any partition. Just boot to live and do the checking, don't open file manager | 12:01 |
| digdeep | hi, i tried to install ubuntu 17.07 on dell xps 15 9560. I made a bootable use drive, it is able to boot, but there is no GUI at all, black screen. | 12:01 |
| gulzar | a1exas: you may 'sudo umount' and not just umount | 12:01 |
| a1exas | gulzar: how is that? do you have any step by step instructions in mind? | 12:01 |
| digdeep | more detail here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/924610/how-to-install-ubuntu-16-04-on-xps-15-9560 | 12:01 |
| gulzar | a1exas: which tool to fsck? | 12:02 |
| a1exas | guzlar: well this disc is not where system is installed, is this still a necessity to boot from live usb or not? | 12:02 |
| gulzar | a1exas: then no | 12:02 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i don't understand sorry, what is a 'tool to fsck' ? what do you mean by that | 12:03 |
| gulzar | a1exas: you can check from running system | 12:03 |
| a1exas | gulzar: ok so i first do sudo unmount /dev/sda5 or whatever else id this drive has right? | 12:03 |
| gulzar | a1exas: which command are you using for fsck? | 12:04 |
| gulzar | a1exas: yes if not in use, then umount it | 12:04 |
| a1exas | gulzar: my limited experience tells me to use fsck -A or whatever | 12:04 |
| gulzar | a1exas: Ah ok | 12:04 |
| a1exas | gulzar: general file errors check | 12:04 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i have a damaged files stored there i suspect it can solve it perhaps | 12:05 |
| a1exas | sudo: unmount: command not found | 12:05 |
| a1exas | hm | 12:05 |
| nomic | umount | 12:05 |
| nomic | ? | 12:05 |
| a1exas | oops | 12:05 |
| nomic | umount | 12:06 |
| Mrokii | a1exas: yes, it's "umount". | 12:06 |
| a1exas | thanks | 12:06 |
| nomic | yw. | 12:06 |
| gulzar | a1exas: done? | 12:06 |
| a1exas | yes | 12:07 |
| a1exas | 0x41: Dirty bit is set. Fs was not properly unmounted and some data may be corrupt. | 12:07 |
| a1exas | 1) Remove dirty bit | 12:07 |
| a1exas | 2) No action | 12:07 |
| a1exas | what is better? i believe 1 but i have no knowledge | 12:07 |
| gulzar | a1exas: now this depends on you, I can't tell anything. In my case I had .trash from Mac so I removed it. I have no idea bout your data | 12:07 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i have an acronis .tib archive stored there which became 'corrupted' | 12:08 |
| gulzar | a1exas: which partition is that? ext4/ntfs/fat ? | 12:08 |
| a1exas | ext4 but it was ntfs | 12:08 |
| a1exas | ubuntu installer converted it | 12:08 |
| a1exas | than i got an issue with freezing | 12:08 |
| a1exas | so i have a lot of hard reboots in between | 12:09 |
| gulzar | a1exas: how you installed it? whcih option selected? 'alongside windows' ? | 12:09 |
| a1exas | gulzar: i don't remember it clearly now but i remember i split it to two or something, however on that drive it was installed on was some data stored (mainly that archive) which is still there but I have probs because software think it is corrupted) | 12:10 |
| a1exas | any idea which operators I should use for fsck in that case? | 12:11 |
| a1exas | that is what it gives me now, but I believe it wasn't done it's job so to speak | 12:11 |
| a1exas | /dev/sda5: 41087 files, 19896285/32413000 clusters | 12:11 |
| gulzar | a1exas: these things are difficult to help on chat. For now remember, before isntaling, format the partition always. make backup and select 1 | 12:11 |
| a1exas | ok thank you I will try again to see if that what i didi just now was helpful in any way | 12:12 |
| a1exas | thanks again | 12:12 |
| gulzar | a1exas: playing with data can be dangerous, I should have went with '1' | 12:12 |
| a1exas | gulzar: oh i am sorry it says filesystem type: msdos | 12:19 |
| a1exas | in the properties dialogue | 12:19 |
| a1exas | can I convert it to ext4 without loosing data on it? | 12:19 |

| gulzar | a1exas: take backup and then format | 12:24 |
| gulzar | a1exas: for msdos, go to MSWin and do chekcing there | 12:25 |
| a1exas | i am not sure my windows can see it even! | 12:26 |
| digdeep | hello... | 12:26 |
| gulzar | a1exas: why not? if its msdos, then windows can see it | 12:26 |
| hateball | k_sze: Not in the same X session, no | 12:26 |
| a1exas | last time i checked it wasn't | 12:26 |
| a1exas | and also my linux live usb acronis thing also can't see it | 12:26 |
| gulzar | a1exas: live disks may need special package to mount them | 12:27 |

| chris_99 | but both 'cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw1/model_name' and fw0 just return Juju | 13:04 |
| Mrokii | gulzar_: Do you happen to know how I can install grub2 on one of the partitions I created on the new disk? I've seen something like "grub-install /dev/[harddisk]" and "grub-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg" (with the path probably needing to be changed to the "mnt"-folder on the new hard-disk...) | 13:42 |
| akkonrad | I have again this issue: after update my ram is not fully used, I have 16 GB but only 4GB now are used (and I have few apps running now, including java IDE and Chrome browser). usually it should take around 12 GB .my browser is slow, IDE is slow - what could that be? | 13:46 |

| sadtaco-remote | Is there a way to downgrade from 17.04 to 16.04? I'm having issues but invested so much that I don't want to just reinstall fresh | 13:59 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | What issues | 14:00 |
| deww | sadtaco-remote: i've never tried it myself, but from the way you wrote that, i suspect you didn't backup before upgrading. Again, I never tried this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DowngradeHowto | 14:00 |
| sadtaco-remote | i need to build something ethereum related and it's made for 15.10-16.04. libcryptopp-dev is replaced with libcrypto++-dev, for example | 14:01 |
| sadtaco-remote | deww, never upgraded. Fresh install | 14:01 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: run it in a container running 16.04 | 14:02 |
| deww | ah | 14:02 |
| sadtaco-remote | haha | 14:02 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | I always install fresh, but I have /home on a spare partition | 14:02 |
| PipeItToDevNull | I would agree with leftyfb , just use a VM | 14:04 |
| leftyfb | not a VM | 14:04 |
| leftyfb | a container | 14:04 |
| sadtaco-remote | https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9024595 here is the conflict I'm getting | 14:06 |
| sadtaco-remote | This was after installing a .deb of libcryptopp-dev | 14:06 |
| Ran__ | Hi there, I'm trying to instal ubuntu server 16.04.2 LTS and for some reason after the installation is done it boots to GRUB command shell. | 14:07 |
| Ran__ | Any ideas on how can I get it to auto-boot the OS? | 14:07 |
| a1exas | sorry, probably this is very comon issue but maybe someone can point me to the most relevant instruction today of how to set up a distance communication between two ubuntu machines | 14:08 |
| a1exas | I am interested in graphical GUI access to them as my knowledge of a terminal is still very limited | 14:08 |
| a1exas | I am also want it to be secure enough, and oh yes both machines have an dinamic public ip addresses | 14:08 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: teamviewer.com | 14:10 |
| a1exas | leftyfb: oh and I don't want to use any external software for that, I want to minimize any proxy between the two machine, or other adversaries | 14:11 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: VNC + poking holes in firewalls | 14:11 |
| hateball | VNC by itself isnt secure, tunnel it over SSH | 14:11 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: or VNC + ssh/VPN tunnels | 14:12 |
| a1exas | leftyfb: fell this is a broad recommendation, can you took me down to any specific example of how I should set it up? | 14:12 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: but you did say no "terminal". But that severely limits your functionality/security beyond a 3rd party tool that does it all for you | 14:12 |
| Southern_Gentlem | vnc over ssh | 14:13 |
| Jack_Sparrow__ | xrdp? | 14:13 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: remmina vnc client allows you to specify SSH credentials to tunnel over ssh | 14:13 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: you'll need to poke a hole in your firewall at the remote location to allow for ssh | 14:14 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: I would suggest using an SSH key and not password authentication | 14:14 |
| dunga | alexas: vnc + vinagre | 14:14 |
| leftyfb | I would also suggest installing fail2ban on the machine running ssh to the outside world | 14:14 |
| a1exas | dunga: is this all (i know vnc included already somehow) is accessible though software centre? | 14:15 |
| a1exas | leftyfb: what for? | 14:15 |
| dunga | alexas: vinagre must be in software centre too | 14:15 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: security. Limit the amount of constant attacks | 14:15 |
| a1exas | leftyfb: allright, but let me get there first to make the two work together, please | 14:15 |
| leftyfb | dunga: remmina is installed by default and does VNC over ssh. No need to install vinagre | 14:16 |
| a1exas | so where should I start exactly? | 14:16 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Configuring | 14:17 |
| dunga | leftyfb: looks like alexas is sorted. Port forward on the router. Install Fail2ban for security and Bob is your uncle | 14:17 |
| leftyfb | a1exas: actually, this looks better: https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/openssh-server.html | 14:17 |
| sadtaco-remote | https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9024595 can someone help me with this? I'm trying to install some packages for build dependencies made for 16.04 but I'm on 17.04. If I install one, it conflicts with the other. | 14:18 |
| akkonrad | qswz, I don't think that it's CPU - it's not showing any weird usage, only when I'm doing something. And when I only start all my apps (IDE, Chrome and some more) it should already be ~ 12 GB and it's 3 times less instead. | 14:19 |
| dunga | sadtaco-remote: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -fy | 14:19 |
| leftyfb | dunga: that could potentially be dangerous | 14:20 |
| leftyfb | the -y part | 14:20 |
| sadtaco-remote | I tried that one already. Same error | 14:20 |
| sadtaco-remote | without the -y but yeah | 14:20 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: post the error to pastebin | 14:20 |
| sadtaco-remote | I did? Is there something else I should post? | 14:20 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: also, if it's a matter of trying to build against a package that has been replaced, again I suggest to do this in a container | 14:21 |
| sadtaco-remote | That's the error I get trying to install the requirements pre-build. | 14:21 |
| sadtaco-remote | do you mean.. build a binary in a container then copy it to 17.04? | 14:21 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: sure. Try it | 14:21 |
| sadtaco-remote | and yes libcryptopp-dev was replaced with libcrypto++-dev | 14:22 |
| sadtaco-remote | leftyfb, I've never done that and it sounds very involved. | 14:22 |
| dunga | leftyfb: you are right. I usually do these things after a good backup. Some error messages do not make much sense to me anyway so I do the y part | 14:22 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: sudo apt-get install lxc ; sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -n somename -- -r xenial | 14:23 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: then sudo lxc-start -n somename | 14:23 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: sudo lxc-ls --fancy # will list the container, it's status and ip address | 14:24 |
| sadtaco-remote | just "ubuntu"? Not a specific version? | 14:24 |
| sadtaco-remote | 'Because I think it needs to be done in 16.04 or earlier | 14:24 |
| leftyfb | sadtaco-remote: notice the -r for release | 14:24 |
| sadtaco-remote | ah | 14:24 |
| dunga | leftyfb: lxc container. I never used that one. When you mentioned container I thought that would be a docker container. Something for me to read about tonight | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | dunga: docker is based on lxc | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | well, it used to be | 14:26 |
| leftyfb | think it's taken on it's own life since then | 14:27 |
| dunga | Just started docker recently. I reading said they moved away and are now using libcontainer | 14:27 |
| dunga | You learn something new everyday | 14:27 |
| sadtaco-remote | and how would i transfer from the container to outside of it? | 14:27 |

| stephanlap | Hello guys. rsync is driving me mad. I'm trying to exclude a diretory named "/mnt/old/home", but it just doesn't work. this is what I use: 'sudo rsync --quiet --stats --progress --numeric-ids -a --exclude="/mnt/old/home/" /mnt/old/ /mnt/new. | 16:27 |
| stephanlap | Any thoughts why this doesn't work as expected? | 16:27 |
| jje | sadtaco-remote: sudo nvidia-xconfig --enable-all-gpus --cool-bits=28 | 16:30 |
| Jordan_U | stephanlap: '/' in this case signifies the "root of transfer", not the root filesystem. So I believe that the pattern "/mnt/old/home/" would match a file at the absolute path "/mnt/old/mnt/old/home/" for that particular command. | 16:33 |
| Jordan_U | stephanlap: See the "INCLUDE/EXCLUDE PATTERN RULES" section of the rsync man page. | 16:34 |

The build worked perfectly fine, but then when I try to copy the dependency to my 17.04 host system and run it I get "./ethminer: error while loading shared libraries: libethcore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" | 17:18 |
| nacc | energizer: because presumably you are either using a PPA or mixing releases? | 17:18 |
| sadtaco_ | I tried copying the whole build folder that has that file and such a directory down from it, but still no. I guess it's missing from PATH or something? | 17:18 |
| nacc | energizer: there is no postgresql-9.6-postgis-2.3 before 17.04 | 17:18 |
| energizer | nacc: yeah there's a ppa | 17:19 |
| nacc | energizer: PPAs are supported by ppa owners, not here | 17:19 |
| sadtaco_ | If "make -j8" on the container system had added something to PATH, wouldn't that have been returned from the make process? | 17:19 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: 'copy the dependency'? | 17:19 |
| sadtaco_ | libethcore.so is at "cpp-ethereum/build/libethcore/libethcore.so". While the make target is "cpp-ethereum/build/ethminer" | 17:20 |
| sadtaco_ | the shared library, not dependency | 17:20 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: i have no idea what you're trying to do, but it seems wrong | 17:21 |
| sadtaco_ | I could not build it on 17.04... | 17:21 |
| sadtaco_ | others suggested I build it in a 16.04 container and try copying the binary | 17:21 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: ok, but it's clearly a dynamic (not static) binary | 17:21 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: so copying it is not sufficient -- you still need to install its dependencies | 17:21 |
| sadtaco_ | well I can't in 17.04 because its dependencies got replaced... | 17:21 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: then you can't run it in 17.04 | 17:22 |
| nacc | sadtaco_: run it *in* the container. or build it statically | 17:22 |
| sadtaco_ | container can't access the GPUs.. | 17:25 |
| sadtaco_ | bah | 17:25 |
| energizer | nacc: ok now on 16.04 https://dpaste.de/WUXc/raw | 17:31 |

| muteboy | Hi, I have problems with sound on my Ubuntu/Gnome. Getting sound from videos, music, games, YouTube, but there is no sound/volume indicator in the system tray. Sound section of system settings shows no output or input devices. | 17:57 |
| muteboy | indicator-sound is already the newest version (12.10.2+16.04.20160406-0ubuntu1). | 17:57 |
| teward | energizer: the core problem is postgis wherever you're installing it from depends on the *older* version of the gdal libraries, and doesn't have an update. I don't see an updated version of the packaging either, are you installing postgis by removing the PPAs in question, and then just doing `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install postgis` | 17:59 |
| xangua | muteboy: gnome shell/desktop does not use indicators, you have to click on the top right icon to show the volume icon | 17:59 |
| teward | and if that *still* doesn't work, you're out of luck and need to talk to the PostGIS people. | 17:59 |
| muteboy | xangua: when I do that, there is a volume slider, but no icon next to it. Moving the slider has no effect on the volume of sound. | 18:01 |

| nacc | energizer: sorry, was afk -- let me try and reproduce | 18:16 |
| nacc | energizer: in 16.10, postgis does not depend on libgdal1i, as it doesn't exist in 16.10. Again, are you using a PPA or some other resource (note, just not installing the package from the PPA won't be sufficient. you have to purge the PPA from the repository list) | 18:18 |
| nacc | energizer: in 16.10, postgis depends on libgdal20 | 18:18 |
| BluesKaj | EleanorEllis, you may need to reset the / and /home partitions' mountpoints , but I'm not sure which partitioner gives those options except the ubuntu installer manual partitioning phase | 18:20 |
| energizer | nacc: "grep ^ /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | grep post" gives nothing. | 18:21 |
| nacc | energizer: apt policy postgis in a pastebin, please | 18:21 |
| Jordan_U | energizer: Did you previously have a ppa installed? Did you purge it with ppa-purge? Just removing its entry is *not* enough as any packages you installed from that ppa will stay installed, unless you uyse ppa-purge. | 18:24 |
| nacc | Jordan_U: +1 | 18:24 |

| ubottu | rajivmars: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://freecode.com/tags/theme - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 18:27 |
| rajivmars | ubottu, are these themes work with unity? | 18:28 |
| ubottu | rajivmars: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 18:28 |
| oerheks | rajivmars, open synaptic, and search for *theme*, tons of them | 18:28 |
| oerheks | and unity-tweak-tool can be a help too | 18:28 |
| EleanorEllis | Sorry for posting multiple times. Earlier my chat client was not working properly. My root partition ran out of space while installing software from apt. I have enlarged the partition but now the GUI will not start and the system boots in emergency mode. I have tried booting in recovery mode and running dpkg to fix broken packages but it doesn't resolve the addresses of any repositories. I tried enabling networking in the recovery menu bu | 18:30 |
| lotuspsychje | EleanorEllis: what ubuntu version are you on? | 18:31 |
| EleanorEllis | lotuspsychje: 16-04 | 18:31 |
| nacc | EleanorEllis: how did you 'enlarge' the root partition? what tool? | 18:32 |
| eelstrebor | i disabled the openvpn server on my pc but it still enables the server on a reboot - what i did: mv /etc/init.d/openvpn /etc/init.d/openvpn.disabled | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | EleanorEllis: with an ubuntu usb installer you could re-install and preserve your /home? | 18:32 |
| nacc | eelstrebor: what version of ubuntu? | 18:32 |
| eelstrebor | 16.04.02 | 18:32 |
| nacc | eelstrebor: moving that init.d file likely doesn't do anything | 18:32 |
| nacc | eelstrebor: systemctl disable openvpn | 18:32 |
| lyciathelycanroc | hello, i was wondering if anyone could help with gamepad problems?... if it isn't too much trouble | 18:32 |
| nacc | eelstrebor: *with sudo perhaps | 18:32 |
| Epx998 | Is there a guild on netbooting against the full server iso? so we get all the drivers. | 18:32 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | lyciathelycanroc | 18:32 |
| ubottu | lyciathelycanroc: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:32 |
| eelstrebor | nacc, i'll giove that a try | 18:33 |
| EleanorEllis | lotuspsychje: My ubuntu will not write to USB. That is one of the problems I am also trying to fix | 18:33 |
| energizer | nacc: yeah i think its ok now, thanks for the helping hand | 18:33 |
| lifeboy | I can't get Bluetooth to work on Zesty (17.04) on an Asus Vivobook. Here are my logs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24857038/ I get Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed | 18:33 |
| EleanorEllis | lotuspsychje: If I reinstall, won't I lose all my packages? | 18:33 |
| lotuspsychje | EleanorEllis: how did you install in the first place then? | 18:33 |
| EleanorEllis | lotuspsychje: From a LiveCD | 18:34 |
| lyciathelycanroc | basically xpad driver seems to read my controller but somewhere it changes to a generic one and doesn't work | 18:34 |
| Jordan_U | EleanorEllis: How did you enlarge the root partition? | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | EleanorEllis: depends wich option you choose at setup, you can choose install next to ubuntu, to save your /home | 18:34 |
| lotuspsychje | Epx998: perhaps the #ubuntu-server guys might know that one | 18:35 |
| EleanorEllis | Jordan_U: I enlarged the root partition with gparted by removing a partition I no longer needed, then resizing the extended partition and the system partition. | 18:35 |
| Epx998 | ah yes ubuntu-server | 18:36 |
| EleanorEllis | Jordan_U: Of course I did that while running from a LiveCD | 18:36 |
| EleanorEllis | Jordan_U: Does how I enlarged the partition make much of a difference? | 18:39 |
| BluesKaj | maybe auto remove and autoclean pperiodically could have helped keep your / partition to a minimum size | 18:43 |
| Jordan_U | EleanorEllis: Yes, or else I wouldn't have asked. Many people try to change just the partition table without then resizing the filesystem for example. | 18:44 |
| EleanorEllis | BluesKaj: I have been doing that. The reason it grew so big was that I installed a lot of video editing software at once to try different packages. Yes carelessness, I know. However, that doesn't help me fix the problem. | 18:45 |
| Jordan_U | EleanorEllis: What partition did you remove? Was that partition listed in your /etc/fstab ? | 18:45 |
| EleanorEllis | Jordan_U: It was a swap partition. I will just go into fstab now and make sure it has been removed. There is another unrelated partition I need to remove anyway | 18:46 |
| Jordan_U | EleanorEllis: Failing to mount volumes listed in /etc/fstab will cause you to drop to an emergency shell, so hopefully removing any entries for volumes that no longer exist will allow you to boot normally again. | 18:47 |
| BluesKaj | EleanorEllis, think Jordan_U just id'd your problem, missing entries in fstab can really muck up your boot | 18:47 |
| eelstrebor | nacc, that worked and now i have to find out why the box isn't auto connecting to the router anymore - i think i ran into this issue some time ago so now i have to find out how i fixed it | 18:51 |
| lyciathelycanroc | basically xpad driver seems to read my controller but somewhere it changes to a generic one and doesn't work, starts calling my afterglow prismatic xbox one a 'logic3', any idea how to get it working? | 18:52 |
| EleanorEllis | Jordan_U: BluesKaj: I do't think the missing partition was the problem as the currently running ubuntu also has the missing swap partition in fstab and it booted fine. I think the problem is more likely to be broken packages because apt-get couldn't finish properly | 18:54 |
| EleanorEllis | But for good practice, I have corrected fstab anyway | 18:54 |
| EleanorEllis | By the way, does noatime make a difference for the swap partition? | 18:55 |
| akik | EleanorEllis: no | 18:56 |
| eelstrebor | hmm, lsusb says my yubikey is inserted but the personalization tool can't see it | 19:03 |
| eelstrebor | nevermind | 19:12 |
| lyciathelycanroc | basically xpad driver seems to read my controller but somewhere it changes to a generic one and doesn't work, starts calling my afterglow prismatic xbox one a 'logic3', any idea how to get it working? | 19:20 |
| ppf | lyciathelycanroc: no idea, but have you tried xboxdrv yet? | 19:22 |
| ppf | xpad never worked well for me | 19:22 |
| lyciathelycanroc | i tried xboxdrv, no success sadly, xboxdrv hasn't been updated for a long time from what i heard though | 19:22 |

The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://us-east-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial InRelease: Clearsigned file isn't valid, got 'NODATA' (does the network require authentication?)" | 19:40 |
| elpsy | I'm considering just removing the repos and adding the default ubuntu ones but I'm not sure if AWS needs their repos for networking/VM management. | 19:41 |
| MWM | boot times are way up and my rdp client reports that it needs to start a new display. Then kde5init or krunner crashes right away. sometimes I get an error about OpenGL 2 | 19:41 |

| tomreyn | maybe your version lacks the device id | 20:03 |

| leemox | Unfortunately, Windows decided today to remove the Linux partition (this is a family computer and unfortunately one person needs Windows). I'm trying to restore something using TestDisk. Most of all I care about files. TestDisk kind of sees a partition in "Quick search", but in the next step no. I chose "Deeper Search". I would like to make sure I'm doing well. | 20:12 |

| Bizzeh | leemox: windows didnt just remove the partition, you, or someone else, removed that partition | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | merpnderp: no | 20:18 |
| tgm4883 | merpnderp: you should never just "forget about" a webserver on the internet | 20:18 |

| stephanlap | I am not quite sure I've down it correctly. | 20:28 |
| Jordan_U | leemox: Windows doesn't just delete partitions automatically, for that matter it wouldn't resize a partition automatically even if there were free space already. | 20:28 |
| nacc | stephanlap: pastebin your fstab and describe your problem in detail | 20:29 |
| Krapulat | Hello, OpenSSL in Ubuntu 16.04 doesn’t have the cipher “DES-CBC3-SHA”. Is it possible to add it or do I need to remove the openssl package and install it from source? | 20:30 |

| stephanlap | nacc: Just a moment. It may be a problem of not using chown correctly, not fstab. the problem is this: I used rsync to copy my home-folder to a new partition and also to copied my system-files to another partition. After rebooting I got a black screen when I tried to log in. I thought that, by copying everything, the permission rights were correct. but I got a black screen and tried to use chown to set myself | 20:34 |
| stephanlap | as the owner of my user-folder (chown stephan:stephan /home/stephan), after which the desktop bootet fine. but I think that only changed the permissions for the folder, not for its contents. Is my assumption correct? | 20:34 |
| tomreyn | which version do you have there, Krapulat ? dpkg -l openssl | 20:34 |
| nacc | stephanlap: that's correct, you need to use the -R flag | 20:34 |
| stephanlap | nacc: Okay, I will try that. | 20:35 |
| nacc | stephanlap: or rsync with preserve owner,group | 20:35 |

| stephanlap | nacc: I might have forgotten that, not sure. But I will try chown first. | 20:36 |
| Krapulat | Jordan_U: Because I have a mail client that uses Outlook 2007 on xp | 20:36 |
| nacc | Krapulat: that is not an Ubuntu version, that's from ondrej's ppa | 20:36 |
| tomreyn | Krapulat: you are not using ubuntu's openssl | 20:36 |
| tgm4883 | sounds like a reason to leave outlook 2007 in the dust | 20:36 |

| nacc | Krapulat: by default, adding a PPA will use all packages from that PPA, and ondrej's is ahead of ubuntu's | 20:40 |
| nacc | Krapulat: if i had to guess | 20:40 |
| tgm4883 | Krapulat: Will use the *latest* package | 20:41 |

| tomreyn | lyciathelycanroc: you were responding to me, but i don't really have anoithing to sdd other than wishing you luck. i don't htink i can help you with identifying the controller's hardware IDs, identifying the issue, customizing the driver, building the driver once and building it repeatedly via dkms. | 20:41 |
| nacc | Krapulat: are you wanting to use php5 on 16.04 or something? | 20:41 |
| Krapulat | nacc: I use ondrej’s ppa because I need PHP5.6 + PHP7.1 | 20:42 |
| lyciathelycanroc | it's annoying i can't find my gamepad issue anywhere.. | 20:42 |
| nacc | Krapulat: it's possible ondrej's package also depend on his version of openssl, i really don't know. you can try installing the ubuntu openssl of course (sudo apt install openssl=<version>) | 20:43 |
| Jordan_U | leemox: It looks like the Windows partition has not been resized, which is good because that would have risked overwriting the data in your delted ext4 partition. | 20:44 |
| Jordan_U | leemox: I'm not entirely clear what the two screens shown in https://pastebin.com/QvTAvY8q represent, but the first looks correct. | 20:46 |
| Jordan_U | leemox: One thing to look out for is that testdisk may restore partitions with different numbers (or make a large extended partition and throw what are currently primary partitions into it as logical partitions), which could cause problems for both grub and Windows. So after restoring with testdisk, make sure that the existing Windows partitions are still have the same partition numbers. | 20:48 |

| dogmatic69_ | hi all, I rebooted my pc today and it refused to boot. just a blinking cursor | 21:14 |
| dogmatic69_ | Any ideas? | 21:14 |
| tomreyn | dogmatic69_: you changed something which made it stop working. | 21:14 |
| qzo | Did it get stuck on GRUB or after? | 21:14 |
| dogmatic69_ | running recent 16.something | 21:14 |
| dogmatic69_ | tomreyn: I cleared up some docker stuff, not sure if that has done anything. | 21:15 |
| dogmatic69_ | old docker images and volumes | 21:15 |
| dogmatic69_ | no changes to the boot at all | 21:15 |
| tomreyn | probably not, unless that included your live kernel or overwrote the MBR | 21:16 |
| dogmatic69_ | I can see the whole drive fine in live disk | 21:16 |
| skizye | do you have a flash drive or something plugged in that it might be trying to boot from? | 21:16 |
| dogmatic69_ | but it wont let me "re-install", says it cant detect any OS | 21:16 |
| tomreyn | !rescue | dogmatic69_ | 21:16 |
| ubottu | dogmatic69_: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode | 21:17 |
| dogmatic69_ | I have tried recovery mode with no luck | 21:17 |
| EriC^^ | dogmatic69_: type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999" | 21:17 |
| dogmatic69_ | where? | 21:17 |
| EriC^^ | in the live session | 21:17 |

| nacc | acresearch: apt is newer, has a friendlier UI/feel, they are both just frontends to dpkg | 21:26 |
| nacc | acresearch: use apt preferentially, just to get used to it | 21:26 |
| acresearch | nacc: i don't use any GUI, so you mean use apt in command line right? | 21:27 |
| acresearch | nacc: apt for update upgrade and everything else | 21:27 |
| nacc | acresearch: yes, there is still a 'UI' in the sense of responses, subcommand names, etc | 21:28 |
| nacc | acresearch: that is UI != GUI | 21:28 |
| acresearch | nacc: ok i get it thanks you :-) | 21:29 |
| nacc | acresearch: np | 21:29 |
| dogmatic69_ | looks like its booting into live this time, fingers crossed... | 21:33 |
| dogmatic69_ | wtf, I clicked try ubuntu and its dropped me into a term session asking for login | 21:35 |
| dogmatic69_ | and now that is gone. | 21:35 |
| YankDownUnder | dogmatic69_, "can't run gfx properly" - has something changed with your graphics card or settings in BIOS for your graphics card? Changed cables? Moved cables? Just wondering...especially after reading back a bit... | 21:37 |
| dogmatic69_ | nope, I have only unplugged my two disks for raid so they dont get accidenttly wiped. | 21:38 |
| YankDownUnder | Yeah...that's always a good thing... | 21:38 |
| dogmatic69_ | I dont understand why it has a gfx issue, because its loads up fine and then only fails when I click try | 21:38 |
| dogmatic69_ | and also, it just worked like 20 minutes back. | 21:38 |
| acresearch | people i have a question: how many people are there who full time directly work on ubuntu? | 21:39 |
| tomreyn | dogmatic69_: you probably accidentially hit the graphics card while unplugging your disks, and it's not seated properly now. | 21:39 |
| YankDownUnder | dogmatic69_, You've done a "cold boot" on the machine? Like powering it completely down and letting it sit for a few minutes - and then powering it back up? | 21:39 |
| dogmatic69_ | yes, I have unpluged and booted. | 21:39 |
| dogmatic69_ | tomreyn: doubt it. will try that in a sec | 21:40 |
| dogmatic69_ | the installer loads fine | 21:40 |
| dogmatic69_ | its just the 'try ubuntu' that is failing | 21:40 |

| dogmatic69_ | will get that pastebin now | 21:46 |
| nacc | boboma: where do you see this in debian? experimental has 2.2.6-1 | 21:46 |
| dogmatic69_ | except the mouse did not load... | 21:47 |
| boboma | nacc, stretch has it | 21:49 |

| nacc | boboma: right | 21:50 |
| boboma | nacc, but 2.2.6 is the recent one | 21:50 |
| boboma | so why is ubuntu that far behind? It landed in debian 2 weeks ago | 21:51 |
| causative | I have a problem: 50% of the time when I single click, it registers as a double click. It's not the mouse (tried different mice, tried changing USB port, tried restarting). Where should I look next? | 21:51 |
| nacc | boboma: 2.2.6 is in 17.10 | 21:51 |
| nacc | !latest | boboma | 21:51 |
| ubottu | boboma: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 21:51 |
| nacc | boboma: also vlc is available as a snap | 21:52 |
| boboma | i run 17.10 and i have 2.2.4 | 21:52 |
| boboma | how comes you have a different version? | 21:52 |
| nacc | boboma: do you mean 17.04? | 21:52 |
| nacc | boboma: 17.10 isn't out yet | 21:52 |
| boboma | well, right i mean 17.04. Mixing up numbers | 21:52 |

| nacc | boboma: yes, that is also not latest, by the same faq | 21:53 |
| Sleaker | the last kernel revision update for 14.04 is the 14.04.5 release with kernel 4.4 correct? | 21:53 |
| Sleaker | IE: 18.04 wont get backported. | 21:53 |
| nacc | Sleaker: correct. | 21:53 |
| Sleaker | thanks. | 21:53 |
| boboma | nacc, i see but it's bad anyways. 2.2.4 has security issues | 21:53 |
| nacc | Sleaker: your terminology is a bit funny, but yeah, that's accurate :) | 21:54 |
| Sleaker | funny? | 21:54 |
| Sleaker | how-so | 21:54 |
| boboma | its a uncool policy that keeps security issues open.. | 21:54 |
| Sleaker | literally the wiki terminology. | 21:54 |
| nacc | Sleaker: 'kernel revision update' | 21:54 |
| Sleaker | meh | 21:54 |
| nacc | boboma: ... file a bug and report is a security issue? | 21:54 |
| Sleaker | perhaps meant kernel version and just typed odd | 21:54 |
| nacc | boboma: vlc is in universe, it's community supported, meaning it doesn't get security team updates | 21:55 |
| Sleaker | version/revision. I use svn too much :_/ | 21:55 |
| boboma | nacc, yes security issues | 21:55 |
| nacc | boboma: at least, not regular ones | 21:55 |
| nacc | boboma: use the snap if you want the latest | 21:55 |
| Jordan_U | leemox: Were you able to restore your partition using testdisk? | 21:55 |
| boboma | snap is crap. the window decoration is strange and the video is just 1/4 of the size of my screen | 21:55 |
| nacc | boboma: file a bug with the vlc folks then | 21:56 |
| nacc | boboma: as I believe they are the ones that create the snap | 21:56 |
| boboma | i will see what i can do. thx | 21:56 |
| olspookishmagus | hello, I'm facing various relocation error: /usr/lib/i386-linux/gnu/libapt-pkg.so.5.0: symbol ... version GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not defined in file libstdc++.so.6 with link time reference | 21:58 |
| olspookishmagus | I can't do almost anything, any advice how to bypass this? | 21:58 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: has it always happened? did you try removing/building your own glibc? | 22:00 |
| olspookishmagus | nacc: nope just did a do-system-upgrade, some trouble with systemd-sysv left the whole remaining chain unconfigured | 22:03 |
| olspookishmagus | good thing I have dpkg and udisksctl available | 22:03 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: so you just did a release upgrade? from what to what? | 22:04 |
| olspookishmagus | from trusty to zesty :D | 22:04 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: yeah that's not supported | 22:05 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: and wouldn't have been an option from the do-release-upgrade options | 22:05 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: you should go 14.04 -> 16.04 -> 16.10 -> 17.04 | 22:05 |
| olspookishmagus | my arch is: i686 and I'm not seeing i686 packages !? | 22:05 |
| olspookishmagus | I will try with the i386 package | 22:06 |
| dogmatic69_ | tomreyn: I have tried rescue boot again with the same result, after some normal boot logs I get a cursor and it just blinks endlessly | 22:07 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: i686 is (was?) an alias to i386 I think. But the arch on ubuntu packages is i386 (at least since precise) | 22:07 |
| Jordan_U | olspookishmagus: Such an upgrade is not supported, and the result of such an upgrade won't be supported here either. Re-install (You can even re-install while preserving /home/, even if it's not on a separate partition). | 22:07 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: do you really need to be 32-bit? | 22:08 |
| olspookishmagus | nacc: this is an old old PC | 22:08 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: ok, so yes, possibly | 22:08 |
| olspookishmagus | Jordan_U: ok, so I should take my troubles elsewhere on this matter right? | 22:08 |
| olspookishmagus | how do I reinstall over? | 22:09 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: more than likely your issue is that your install didn't complete successfully | 22:09 |
| olspookishmagus | download the latest zesty iso, burn, etc etc ? | 22:09 |
| olspookishmagus | nacc: please refer from discussing the unsupported matters | 22:09 |
| nacc | olspookishmagus: you're now asking how to install ubuntu? | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | olspookishmagus: When you boot the installer it should list re-installing as an option (as opposed to wiping before installing). I don't remember off hand the exact language used for the option. | 22:10 |
| olspookishmagus | where does apt store it's files to install? | 22:10 |
| Jordan_U | olspookishmagus: If you boot the LiveUSB into the "Try before installing" mode then you can take screenshots and send them to us if you have any questions. I would recommend Xubuntu or Lubuntu for older machines. | 22:11 |
| olspookishmagus | /var/cache/apt/... | 22:11 |
| olspookishmagus | I'm already on Xubuntu | 22:11 |
| olspookishmagus | atm, had some progress by installing packages found in /var/apt/archives/ | 22:16 |
| olspookishmagus | thanks everyone for your help, looks like I will resolve this | 22:16 |
| olspookishmagus | if there's a root shell, there will be a way xD | 22:21 |
| olspookishmagus | after upgrading all apt related packages and libstc++ packages and libc packages | 22:34 |
| olspookishmagus | I merely did: find /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb -exec dpkg -i "{}" +; | 22:34 |
| EleanorEllis | I am about to install an updated version of RubyRipper from https://github.com/bleskodev/rubyripper Is there a way I can do this so that it stays updated when the source changes on github? | 22:44 |
| oerheks | EleanorEllis, tons of indicators, so you can trigger a new build, like this https://askubuntu.com/questions/321884/is-there-a-git-indicator-to-get-notification-on-commit-pull | 22:45 |
| === skipyyty is now known as caliculk | ||
| EleanorEllis | oerheks: Thanks. That would just be notifications and I would have to build the software manually. Is there a way to automate the build or is that a really bad idea? It strikes me as only the same risk as using a ppa | 22:47 |
| oerheks | jenkins could do that, dunno if there are more suitable tools. yes, that question pops up in my mind too, do you want automated build/deploi | 22:48 |
| EleanorEllis | oerheks: Well it's only a single machine and I don't imagine there will be that many updates but the question interested me | 22:49 |
| EleanorEllis | oerheks: Yes I wanted automated build and installation on my desktop when the source code is updated | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | olspookishmagus: For future reference, "dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb" would be exactly equivalent as in both cases it's the shell, not find or dpkg, that is expanding the glob into a list of files. | 22:50 |
| oerheks | EleanorEllis, jenkins on 16.04 , and the github plugin https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-jenkins-on-ubuntu-16-04 +++ https://www.cloudbees.com/blog/better-integration-between-jenkins-and-github-github-jenkins-plugin | 22:52 |
| oerheks | not that hard, just don t open ssh to the www | 22:53 |
| EleanorEllis | oerheks: Thanks | 22:54 |
