[00:01] Where do I find the configuration on my RPi to make it accessible from a terminal on my PC? [00:01] Right now I cannot connect [00:11] I'm looking at firewall settings at the moment. I think this may do it [00:14] hi, I can't boot in to any OS including mate which created the boot menu which is now gone after a big gaming overload crash in windows [00:14] I am on a Live CD and would like to at least find the Mate Installation [00:31] Good night [00:31] not sure if a restart is required to enable the firewall settings [00:31] g'nite roberto [00:32] ;] [00:33] motobot, do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate? [00:35] ubuntu-mate: if I understand you corrently you wnat to apt-get boot-repair (or something like that) [00:35] that should get the system up, but your partitions should still show up when booted on the livecx [00:35] yes [00:35] s/livecx/livecd [00:36] they do [00:37] sorry mate, I must be missing something here... quite not sober either so not really helping hehehe [00:37] can I do that from this live CD? [00:37] ubuntu-mate: depends what THAT is :P help me a bit here :P [00:38] so that it will re-create the boot menu on power up - apt get boot-repair [00:38] is what I am talking about [00:38] is there such a thing? [00:38] ubuntu-mate: mkay, yeah you can install it on the livecd once its booted, apt-get it like usual [00:39] when you run it it should find your install and fix the boot meny [00:39] s/meny/menu [00:39] thanks [00:39] do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate? [00:39] nothing usual about me being in Ubuntu [00:40] ubuntu-mate: not as far as I'm aware [00:40] besides being, you know, cool 'cause not windows lol [00:40] but jokes aside, boot repair should do it for you, worked for me ;) [00:42] ubuntu-mate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [00:44] Invalid operation boot-repair [00:45] sudo apt-get install boot-repaor [00:45] boot-repair* [00:46] where will it install on a live boot? [00:46] ubuntu-mate: live file system, it'll be gone if you reboot the live cd, but we dont care since we only need it once :) [00:47] (unless you made your live media with persistance enabled yaddi-yadda) [00:47] but the last point remains ;) [00:48] Unable to locate package boot-repair [00:48] ubuntu-mate@ubuntu-mate:~$ [00:48] no I do not know what I am doing [00:49] more likely my fault, 1 sec [00:49] ah... [00:50] I am old, sick and slow and so is my computer [00:50] go to the link I gave you earlier, the 2nd option will give you the commands you need to run [00:50] it's not in the ubuntu repository but in another ppa thats why it wouldnt find it [00:50] ubuntu-mate: makes 2 of us ;) [00:51] I'm just glad to see something on the screen after days of nada [00:51] the CD-rom would not even read a live CD before [00:51] drive I mean [00:51] wow, thats quite the crash, even for windows hehehe [00:52] well if they had Black Desert Online in Mate, I wouldn't be in windows [00:52] anyway thanks for the link I will just slowly read and learn [00:53] no worries, there's a lot of text for the little you actually have to do hehehe [00:53] install package, run, click repair, reboot [00:53] TLDR version [00:54] hit me up if anything come up, I'll be around for a little while, my glass isn't empty yet :P [00:54] even more if you get it working, I don't care about the thank yous, just wanna help get stuff up [00:55] (there's a your mom joke in there) [00:56] yes I will let you know if it worked and I appreciate the joke [00:58] cool :) [01:07] it's running that's a good sign, it's scanning my installation, fingers crossed deskwizard [01:07] * deskwizard crosses fingers, eyes and toes [01:08] lol [01:08] I had a "touching wood" joke as well but decided to let it slide lol [01:08] ubuntu-mate: I hope it'll work :) [01:10] yeah let it slide, goodness knows how long this will take, it actually takes and hour to show up a menu on a windows repair usb and then it doesn't work [01:10] my computer is so sick, no idea why it takes so long to do anything after a "click" [01:11] could be a lot of things, from a dusty cpu cooler to a dying power supply, or just being old like mines hehe [01:13] windows 10 on a computer that did not come with it has a lot to answer for in terms of destruction [01:14] anyway it's still scanning and I need breakfast [01:14] so thanks for pointing me to the right place [01:14] np mate, glad I could be helpful [01:14] have a nice snack :) [01:15] thumbs up [01:40] =omg still scanning [01:49] foiled again - GPT detected whatever that is - so why it find the bios-grub partition that was there before instead of making yet another partition? [01:49] I mean, why didn't it find it? [01:50] sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair [02:12] ubuntu-mate: uhm, strange === ubuntu-mate is now known as zzirf === usuario is now known as zzzz === himmAllRight17 is now known as himmAllRight [11:07] eemre450 [11:49] hello all [11:50] does anyone know how to download a public key? i'm trying to authorize the avast repository i just added but the pgp i need to add is just a jumble of alphanumerics on a webpage. not dowloadable. [11:54] no one? [12:24] hey guys, i've tried to add a pgp key and got the error "gpg: invalid armour header" any ideas what this might mean? [12:25] no instructions/info on the avast site? [12:28] see if this helps https://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/31/adding-missing-ppa-keys-to-an-apt-keyring/ [12:32] none that are helpful unfortunately. thanks i'll check it out [12:34] i'm not sure where to go from there. i've created the key/pgp file from the appendix that avast pointed to i just don't know what's up with their headers [12:35] Kenzo: is this for the Avast repository key, or no? [12:35] teward, yes is it [12:36] Kenzo: ah, well it's not that hard heh. First: wget http://files.avast.com/files/resellers/linux/avast.gpg [12:36] second: `sudo apt-key add avast.gpg` [12:36] (FWIW: https://support.business.avast.com/hc/en-us/articles/210816523-Avast-Installation-for-Ubuntu-Debian- plus personal knowledge is where this came from) [12:36] note wget is a terminal command ;) [12:37] and I had to go through this setting up Avast AV on a mail server so... :) [12:37] (it's still working! :D) [12:38] ah thanks, see i copied/pasted the key into a text file as the instructions on avast didn't mention wget. the i did the sudo apt-key add to the path of the key i saved [12:38] should that not work? [12:39] Kenzo: *sometimes*? But it's really odd when trying to pull from a web page - because your browser can screw things over. [12:39] Kenzo: just wget the file instead of copy/pasting - it downloads the file instead of displaying it in your web browser without proper formatting. [12:39] (they should be serving that as text/plain but they don't.) [12:39] i copied from their appendix on the last page [12:39] http://deb.avast.com/lin/doc/techdoc.pdf [12:40] Kenzo: probably better to just pull from the file itself ;) [12:41] besides, you're copying formatted text from a PDF - guarantee you there's extra control chars in there breaking the data in the armored text data. [12:41] yeah i think so! thanks teward :) [12:42] teward, do you know whether this will run well on a desktop? i'm not on a server [13:04] does anyone know whether it's ok to to run a server antivirus on a desktop/laptop [13:05] What do you mean exactly? [13:05] Like an antivirus designed for a linux server on your desktop, or run an antivirus server while also using it as your desktop [13:06] the former, antivirus designed for server to run on desktop [13:07] should be fine [13:08] even without a gui? [13:08] My question is why even run an antivirus on a linux box? It's just a desktop right? And you're not going to be sharing much files to OSX/Windows? [13:10] more of a safe than sorry situation. and if i move files from another pc via usb i'd like to know any nasties could be picked up. [13:11] fair enough [13:11] Just so you know, people have reported problems with AVs on Ubuntu MATE. [13:12] ah really? anything in particular - false positives? [13:12] Do you know which one specifically? And is it a MATE specific issue or Ubuntu as a whole? [13:13] Well, stuff like that: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/caja-with-dropbox-antivirus-problem-infinite-starting-caja/7160 [13:14] * KTrad waits for her powerbook to load [13:14] False positive breaking stuff is not an uniquely Linux issue [13:16] i'm hoping that the issue in that link is down to the specific programme not liking dropbox. which i don't use. i like a gui so this server antivirus might not be the one [13:17] doesn't avast make a linux AV? [13:17] Their windows offering isn't horrible. Might want to look at that [13:18] though I have my servers using ClamAV [13:18] used to but i think they dropped support for it a while ago and focused on the server edition. [13:18] i'm going off this article http://www.networkworld.com/article/2989137/linux/av-test-lab-tests-16-linux-antivirus-products-against-windows-and-linux-malware.html [13:18] maybe sophos is my best bet [13:18] Comodo and Sophos seem to be decently liked [13:20] comodo seemed not to perform well according to AV-Test which surprised me [13:20] I personally don't use one [13:21] so have not first hand experience [13:21] that reminds me though I need to update my e-mail server === TaZeR2 is now known as TaZeR [15:30] hi [15:30] Hello [15:30] where are u? [15:31] cant access anything [15:31] thanks, China [15:31] anyone? [15:32] This channel is for ubuntu questions [15:32] Not for geography... [15:32] oh... [15:32] sorry [15:32] np [15:32] how do I install things? [15:32] You open software boutique from the menu [15:33] keeps giving me the message "failed to install packages" [15:33] Open a terminal. Run this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. What's the output? Put it to paste.ubuntu.com. [15:34] I ran "sudo apt-get update", but it failed [15:34] We need to see the output to know why it failed [15:35] 1 sec [16:01] hi === elijah is now known as Guest31446 [16:32] sa [17:42] what would be the easiest way to go about running telegram when I login? [17:47] Kyros: try session-manager [17:49] you just made me realize i could add it to the startup apps [17:49] which works [20:21] ouroumov, think you may have been right about antiviruses not playing nicely with ubuntu-mate. since installing sophos i've had to force shutdown my system because it just crashed :/ [20:22] i've had to do that twice! not sure if merely coincidence [20:33] why is it that software updater doesn't want to update "X.Org X Window System"? it's always unchecked but still there [22:10] I'm unable to turn on flash in Chromium. I d/l'd flash and tried to follow the instructions in readme.txt, but failed. Any help would be appreciated.
