[00:01] <motobot> Where do I find the configuration on my RPi to make it accessible from a terminal on my PC?
[00:01] <motobot> Right now I cannot connect
[00:11] <motobot> I'm looking at firewall settings at the moment. I think this may do it
[00:14] <ubuntu-mate> 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] <ubuntu-mate> I am on a Live CD and would like to at least find the Mate Installation
[00:31] <roberto_> Good night
[00:31] <motobot> not sure if a restart is required to enable the firewall settings
[00:31] <motobot> g'nite roberto
[00:32] <roberto_> ;]
[00:33] <roberto_> motobot, do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate?
[00:35] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: if I understand you corrently you wnat to apt-get boot-repair (or something like that)
[00:35] <deskwizard> that should get the system up, but your partitions should still show up when booted on the livecx
[00:35] <ubuntu-mate> yes
[00:35] <deskwizard> s/livecx/livecd
[00:36] <ubuntu-mate> they do
[00:37] <deskwizard> sorry mate, I must be missing something here... quite not sober either so not really helping hehehe
[00:37] <ubuntu-mate> can I do that from this live CD?
[00:37] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: depends what THAT is :P help me a bit here :P
[00:38] <ubuntu-mate> so that it will re-create the boot menu on power up - apt get boot-repair
[00:38] <ubuntu-mate> is what I am talking about
[00:38] <ubuntu-mate> is there such a thing?
[00:38] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: mkay, yeah you can install it on the livecd once its booted, apt-get it like usual
[00:39] <deskwizard> when you run it it should find your install and fix the boot meny
[00:39] <deskwizard> s/meny/menu
[00:39] <ubuntu-mate> thanks
[00:39] <roberto_> do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate?
[00:39] <ubuntu-mate> nothing usual about me being in Ubuntu
[00:40] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: not as far as I'm aware
[00:40] <deskwizard> besides being, you know, cool 'cause not windows lol
[00:40] <deskwizard> but jokes aside, boot repair should do it for you, worked for me ;)
[00:42] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[00:44] <ubuntu-mate> Invalid operation boot-repair
[00:45] <deskwizard> sudo apt-get install boot-repaor
[00:45] <deskwizard> boot-repair*
[00:46] <ubuntu-mate> where will it install on a live boot?
[00:46] <deskwizard> 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] <deskwizard> (unless you made your live media with persistance enabled yaddi-yadda)
[00:47] <deskwizard> but the last point remains ;)
[00:48] <ubuntu-mate> Unable to locate package boot-repair
[00:48] <ubuntu-mate> ubuntu-mate@ubuntu-mate:~$
[00:48] <ubuntu-mate> no I do not know what I am doing
[00:49] <deskwizard> more likely my fault, 1 sec
[00:49] <deskwizard> ah...
[00:50] <ubuntu-mate> I am old, sick and slow and so is my computer
[00:50] <deskwizard> go to the link I gave you earlier, the 2nd option will give you the commands you need to run
[00:50] <deskwizard> it's not in the ubuntu repository but in another ppa thats why it wouldnt find it
[00:50] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: makes 2 of us ;)
[00:51] <ubuntu-mate> I'm just glad to see something on the screen after days of nada
[00:51] <ubuntu-mate> the CD-rom would not even read a live CD before
[00:51] <ubuntu-mate> drive I mean
[00:51] <deskwizard> wow, thats quite the crash, even for windows hehehe
[00:52] <ubuntu-mate> well if they had Black Desert Online in Mate, I wouldn't be in windows
[00:52] <ubuntu-mate> anyway thanks for the link I will just slowly read and learn
[00:53] <deskwizard> no worries, there's a lot of text for the little you actually have to do hehehe
[00:53] <deskwizard> install package, run, click repair, reboot
[00:53] <deskwizard> TLDR version
[00:54] <deskwizard> hit me up if anything come up, I'll be around for a little while, my glass isn't empty yet :P
[00:54] <deskwizard> even more if you get it working, I don't care about the thank yous, just wanna help get stuff up
[00:55] <deskwizard> (there's a your mom joke in there)
[00:56] <ubuntu-mate> yes I will let you know if it worked and I appreciate the joke
[00:58] <deskwizard> cool :)
[01:07] <ubuntu-mate> 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] <ubuntu-mate> lol
[01:08] <deskwizard> I had a "touching wood" joke as well but decided to let it slide lol
[01:08] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: I hope it'll work :)
[01:10] <ubuntu-mate> 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] <ubuntu-mate> my computer is so sick, no idea why it takes so long to do anything after a "click"
[01:11] <deskwizard> 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] <ubuntu-mate> windows 10 on a computer that did not come with it has a lot to answer for in terms of destruction
[01:14] <ubuntu-mate> anyway it's still scanning and I need breakfast
[01:14] <ubuntu-mate> so thanks for pointing me to the right place
[01:14] <deskwizard> np mate, glad I could be helpful
[01:14] <deskwizard> have a nice snack :)
[01:15] <ubuntu-mate> thumbs up
[01:40] <ubuntu-mate> =omg still scanning
[01:49] <ubuntu-mate> 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] <ubuntu-mate> I mean, why didn't it find it?
[01:50] <ubuntu-mate> sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair
[02:12] <deskwizard> ubuntu-mate: uhm, strange
[11:07] <emre> eemre450
[11:49] <Kenzo> hello all
[11:50] <Kenzo> 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] <Kenzo> no one?
[12:24] <Kenzo> 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] <Astro7467> no instructions/info on the avast site?
[12:28] <Astro7467> see if this helps https://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/31/adding-missing-ppa-keys-to-an-apt-keyring/
[12:32] <Kenzo> none that are helpful unfortunately. thanks i'll check it out
[12:34] <Kenzo> 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] <teward> Kenzo: is this for the Avast repository key, or no?
[12:35] <Kenzo> teward, yes is it
[12:36] <teward> Kenzo: ah, well it's not that hard heh.  First: wget http://files.avast.com/files/resellers/linux/avast.gpg
[12:36] <teward> second: `sudo apt-key add avast.gpg`
[12:36] <teward> (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] <teward> note wget is a terminal command ;)
[12:37] <teward> and I had to go through this setting up Avast AV on a mail server so... :)
[12:37] <teward> (it's still working!  :D)
[12:38] <Kenzo> 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] <Kenzo> should that not work?
[12:39] <teward> Kenzo: *sometimes*?  But it's really odd when trying to pull from a web page - because your browser can screw things over.
[12:39] <teward> 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] <teward> (they should be serving that as text/plain but they don't.)
[12:39] <Kenzo> i copied from their appendix on the last page
[12:39] <Kenzo> http://deb.avast.com/lin/doc/techdoc.pdf
[12:40] <teward> Kenzo: probably better to just pull from the file itself ;)
[12:41] <teward> 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] <Kenzo> yeah i think so! thanks teward :)
[12:42] <Kenzo> teward, do you know whether this will run well on a desktop? i'm not on a server
[13:04] <Kenzo> does anyone know whether it's ok to to run a server antivirus on a desktop/laptop
[13:05] <KTrad> What do you mean exactly?
[13:05] <KTrad> 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] <Kenzo> the former, antivirus designed for server to run on desktop
[13:07] <KTrad> should be fine
[13:08] <Kenzo> even without a gui?
[13:08] <KTrad> 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] <Kenzo> 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] <KTrad> fair enough
[13:11] <ouroumov> Just so you know, people have reported problems with AVs on Ubuntu MATE.
[13:12] <Kenzo> ah really? anything in particular - false positives?
[13:12] <KTrad> Do you know which one specifically? And is it a MATE specific issue or Ubuntu as a whole?
[13:13] <ouroumov> 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] <ouroumov> False positive breaking stuff is not an uniquely Linux issue
[13:16] <Kenzo> 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] <KTrad> doesn't avast make a linux AV?
[13:17] <KTrad> Their windows offering isn't horrible. Might want to look at that
[13:18] <KTrad> though I have my servers using ClamAV
[13:18] <Kenzo> used to but i think they dropped support for it a while ago and focused on the server edition.
[13:18] <Kenzo> 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] <Kenzo> maybe sophos is my best bet
[13:18] <KTrad> Comodo and Sophos seem to be decently liked
[13:20] <Kenzo> comodo seemed not to perform well according to AV-Test which surprised me
[13:20] <KTrad> I personally don't use one
[13:21] <KTrad> so have not first hand experience
[13:21] <KTrad> that reminds me though I need to update my e-mail server
[15:30] <akuma> hi
[15:30] <alkisg> Hello
[15:30] <akuma> where are u?
[15:31] <akuma> cant access anything
[15:31] <akuma> thanks, China
[15:31] <akuma> anyone?
[15:32] <alkisg> This channel is for ubuntu questions
[15:32] <alkisg> Not for geography...
[15:32] <akuma> oh...
[15:32] <akuma> sorry
[15:32] <alkisg> np
[15:32] <akuma> how do I install things?
[15:32] <alkisg> You open software boutique from the menu
[15:33] <akuma> keeps giving me the message "failed to install packages"
[15:33] <alkisg> 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] <akuma> I ran "sudo apt-get update", but it failed
[15:34] <alkisg> We need to see the output to know why it failed
[15:35] <akuma> 1 sec
[16:01] <elijah> hi
[16:32] <melih> sa
[17:42] <Kyros> what would be the easiest way to go about running telegram when I login?
[17:47] <pavlushka> Kyros: try session-manager
[17:49] <Kyros> you just made me realize i could add it to the startup apps
[17:49] <Kyros> which works
[20:21] <Kenzo> 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] <Kenzo> i've had to do that twice! not sure if merely coincidence
[20:33] <Kenzo> 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] <plaindave> 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.
