[00:04] morning all - anyone else having issues with au.archive.ubuntu.com [00:04] ? [00:07] seems down can even ping [00:08] but why not just archive.ubuntu.com [00:11] closest mirror with standard install in the Aus region [00:11] simple enough to add the mirros to /etc/apt/sources.list though [00:13] So the archives down i guess? [00:13] just cp the origional sources.list into sources.list.bak then change sources.list to backup sources i guess [00:14] that’s the plan [00:14] what alternative sources are there for now? [00:15] more than anything I was just hoping that there was some page somewhere which had current archive health-checks [00:15] yeah that would be pretty useful [00:16] like a isitdownrightnow for package sources [00:16] I remember installing debian last year and one of the au sources gave me a ton of crap [00:16] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors [00:16] yeah, exactly [00:20] glitsj16: thanks [00:21] om_henners: yw, sorry for not adding any more written info [00:23] glitsj16: no worries - the list is handy [00:24] om_henners: indeed it is [00:27] hi, good evening folks :) [00:28] Random1 hi 8chanz? [00:28] just wanted to get some advice from a simple lil question regarding installing ubuntu or a ubuntu variant (lubuntu) onto a tablet, which would have the best automatic driver support (touchscreen, etc.) for tablets or are they the same in that aspect / doesn't matter which ? [00:33] Random1: Well... I hope the #channel will not crash after my post, but the Microsoft surface 2 pro seems to be a good device for Linux... [00:34] yes it probably is [00:34] do you mean which distro or which hardware? [00:35] distro [00:35] distro for automatic driver support out of the box (touchscreen, etc.) [00:35] or all the varients of ubuntu to the same out of the box for that pretty much? [00:35] Random1: hi, they are similar as far as driver support goes.. i guess the specific tablet specs are more important to decide which flavor is best suited [00:36] ok i couldn't find any info which distros had the most out of box driver support for tablets in general so i figured they might be mostly the same, thx [00:37] afaik all offshoots of ubuntu use its codebase, so i guess you'd just have to look at what version of vanilla ubuntu the distro you're looking at uses [00:39] Random1: The problem with tablets is, that they normally are based on ARM architecture, which can be rather tricky... So you will probably have better chances of success with an intel based tablet. [00:41] ah [00:41] well in this case its a 64 bit intel i5 [00:41] so its much the same as desktop pc mostly [00:41] even uses the intel processor based gpu [00:41] so other than the touchscreen and hardware keyboard its nothing special [00:42] but i see where ur coming from now [00:44] can i just make the mail notification icon readthe message count in gmail [00:44] without using thunderbird or geany [00:49] lilym: You could write a script that checks for new messages and use 'notify-send' to get a notification. That would be my approach. There are some tutorials for gmail and bash. https://linuxconfig.org/check-your-gmail-inbox-for-new-emails-with-bash-script [00:58] lilym, i can give you python script i use to check mail [00:58] 2 sec [01:00] lilym, https://ptpb.pw/OshT [01:01] it shows notification on desktop [01:01] Hi, I am having trouble exiting single user mode (init 1) on my 16.04 system. rebooting, or setting the init level to 5 has no effect. The system is dead. [01:02] checking gmail with just curl wont work nowdays [01:03] Oauth 2.0 [01:03] = nightmare [01:05] Blue1: systend run level 5 ' systemctl isolate graphical.target ' . [01:07] Ive tried compiling the commodore VICE emulator on ubuntu 17.04 but i dont get any sound + the error "Did not find any uss device" [01:08] rolandbeowulf: should check the help for the software [01:08] hmmmmm [01:08] i bet there's a thing i can install [01:09] Anyone use an actual email client? [01:09] I would usethunderbirdbutits conversation view is bad by default and the thread plugin is worse [01:09] Bashing-om: let me try that thanks [01:10] Ben64: yeah tried that, isn't much there just a list of commands for running the different emulators lol [01:10] i mean forums or other methods of getting support [01:12] Blue1: systemd run level 1 ' rescue.target ' . [01:13] lilym: what ubuntu version are you on? there's a python package for trusty called gm-notify that integrates with unity.. worth a shot even on more recent ubuntu versions as it mainly depends on python2 [01:13] tight [01:13] lilym: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gm-notify [01:14] unable to locate gm-notify oh well [01:15] lol can i pip install gm-notify [01:15] you'll need to download it from the above link and manually install the deb with sudo dpkg -i [01:15] o [01:15] ok thanks [01:15] bad idea if you're not on 14.04 [01:16] Bashing-om: no that didn't work. I am going to boot off an install disk, and check the file systems [01:20] Blue1: Maybe of guidance : ' man bootup ' . [01:22] lilym: Ben64 has a good point, but there might be another alternative.. turns out gm-notify has a PPA supporting recent ubuntu versions, you might be better off trying that.. https://launchpad.net/~gm-notify-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa === inteus_ is now known as inteus [02:01] Bashing-om: nothing I have tried will exit single user mode on 16.04 I tried your earlier suggestions - but nope it's locked into single user mode. init 5 starts the gui but then it drops back to single user mode [02:03] Blue1: What is the issue prompting to boot to run level 1 ? Maybe we need to back up and regroup . [02:07] Bashing-om: syslog shows an error message failed to create PolicyKit authority === justache is now known as JuStache [02:16] Blue1: That might be toufg to track down . Anything in the boot log ' journalctl -b -0 ' ? [02:16] tough* [02:17] Hey All. I'm trying to build a ubuntu image for an arm64 server. (The host is arm64 server running xenial as well). However I hot `E: Invalid Release file, no entry for main/binary-arm64/Packages` when I run `lb build`. === JuStache is now known as justache [02:17] I can't reproduce the same issue when I building a amd64 image. [02:19] Bashing-om: it can't find jounralctl and if I search for it using apt-cache there is nothing to install [02:19] I manually checked the release file and i'm pretty sure that there is a `main/binary-arm64/Packages` inside... [02:20] journalctl === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [02:23] Blue1: Huh ? .. what dustro and release is this ? "journalctl" is a part of systemd . [02:24] Bashing-om: yup, but it's not there. any way I manually looked at the boot log, and it is a zero length file. [02:24] trying to solve this 'Connection Failed: blueman.bluez.errors.DBusFailedError: Protocol not available' in bluez on ubuntu 16.04 when i try to connect to my echo dot via my t420 laptop... ideas? [02:25] Blue1: Sorry, I do not know what to say in this event . [02:33] Bashing-om: problem solved - it seemed it was having issues doing an nfs mount -- I removed the nfs from /etc/fstab and I am back up and running [02:37] Blue1: You do good work :) [02:43] can anyone help me getting bluetooth working on ubuntu 16.04? it was working fine on my t420 before i ran sudo apt-get purge blueman bluez-utils bluez bluetooth ;; now even after reinstalling i see 'no bluetooth found ; plug in a dongle to use bluetooth' [02:50] unzip that firewall it's upgrade time son: https://ibb.co/kod0YQ [02:58] hi, ive installed the postgresql packet but dont have a postgres cli... any idea whats going on? [03:18] if I'm ssh'd into another ubuntu machine, how do I play vlc videos on the remote machine using the cli? [03:20] bumblefuzz: nvlc [03:20] need the -Y switch on ssh session [03:22] sudo apt install nvlc? [03:25] comes with vlc [03:25] man nvlc [03:27] got it [03:27] ok [03:27] that's almost what I need [03:27] but in reverse [03:27] that played on my local screen [03:27] not on the server screen [03:30] what are the different vlc, qvlc, svlc, nvlc, rvlc, cvlc?

[07:25] geirha, it was not my issue ... [07:26] :> [07:26] well we need some way to look at the permissions. You said no programs work, but there's a chance a vritual console lets you log in [07:27] we'll do that, if Mehrzad comes back [07:27] oerheks: oh sorry, I'm slow today [07:27] *coffee* [07:27] weechat coloured you with the same colour [07:27] * oerheks passes a double-sized-genii-mug [07:49] i have neo4j listening on port localhost:7474, i've checked the service is running but if i try to connect i get connection refused?

[08:05] I need some help to diagnose a DHCP issue [08:07] first, a MS computer works well on Ethernet wire, Ubuntu works well for wifi IPv4 [08:07] I would like a wired IPv4 connexion, which does not work [08:08] NilsFR13: what is the name of your ethernet interface? [08:08] I had disable IPv6 in network manager and in /etc/sysctl.conf, as IPv6 address was set automatically by DHCP, I want an IPv4 address [08:09] hateball: enp0s25 [08:09] NilsFR13: "ethtool enp0s25" does it say link detected? [08:09] is there a console only/net edition to get as a livecd/iso? [08:10] to boot from [08:10] !mini | cbauer [08:10] cbauer: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [08:10] hateball: => link detected : yes [08:11] cbauer: afaik the mini iso does not support uefi out of the box, though. [08:11] hateball: and other information ... [08:11] that's a nogo then [08:11] NilsFR13: and ifconfig, that shows no IP for that device? [08:11] di i need to reload anything after editing /etc/init.d/neo4j? [08:12] cbauer: i haven't got it her atm, but iirc there is an efi directory there that just needs to be moved to the root. you could try that. [08:12] *got it here [08:13] currently looking into https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/UEFI-and-BIOS/stable-alternative [08:13] hateball: yes no IP for enp0s25 [08:13] NilsFR13: and if you do "sudo dhclient enp0s25" ? [08:14] I'm intersted in dd_text_16.04-UEFI-n-BIOS_2017-05-07_intel-4-pendrive-7.8GB.img.xz mentioned on that page, see it nowhere linked though [08:15] hateball: and dhclient does not work, I do not want to re run it until you ask, dhclient run without stopping, or give an RFkill error or something like that, I do not remember [08:16] NilsFR13: but dhclient should give you some output, that it querys for dhcp lease [08:16] hateball: dhclient enp0s25 does not stop [08:16] is there no ready downloadable iso I can install ubuntu in UEFI mode from and get a console only/no-DE installation? [08:16] hateball: no anwser, no prompt [08:18] cbauer: try the lubuntu 'alternate' image, or the server image [08:19] currently looking for ubuntu server and how to install a console-only version, not having much luck though [08:19] hateball: for network manager, it is set as running for network and stopped for wifi, and wifi switch is off [08:20] hateball: RJ45 link LED is on and traffic LED is blinking [08:20] cbauer: it's pretty easy to install, covered in the server guide. it will install some server-related packages you may not need, the lubuntu alternate won't do that. [08:20] just need opencl/cuda support [08:33] hateball: dhclient finished and gave and IPv4, but is was soooo long !, I saw enp0s25 in network manager, I clicked on it, and ... it restarted to get an IPv4 address, I am waiting ... [08:33] hateball: any idea why it is so long ? [08:33] NilsFR13: what chipset is this? [08:34] hateball: lspci ? [08:34] NilsFR13: also by default dhclient gives no feedback, it needs... -v flag I think [08:34] NilsFR13: yep, lspci [08:34] hateball: ok [08:35] hateball: network manager finished and was not able to get an IPv4 address [08:35] hateball: Intel 82567LM [08:36] NilsFR13: were you on 16.04 or 17.04 ? [08:37] hateball: dhclient says : DHCPDISCOVER on enp0S25 to 255.255.255.255, is this 255.255.255.255 normal ? [08:37] hateball: port 67 [08:37] hateball: 16 LTS [08:37] NilsFR13: yes that is the broadcast address [08:37] hateball: ok [08:37] NilsFR13: basically it just asks anyone on the network, hello can you offer me a dhcp IP? [08:37] hateball: ok [08:38] NilsFR13: if you run "lspci -k" which module is used for the card? e1000? [08:40] hateball: Kernel driver in use : e1000e , Kernel modules : e1000e [08:41] NilsFR13: and you say the same hardware works if you boot Windows? [08:41] NilsFR13: are you connecting it to a home router, or what type of equipment in the other end? [08:43] hateball: no, an other MS computer works, I cannot boot Windows on this computer, and, on this computer, same issue with Kubuntu Live CD, this computer is 32 bits, this computer is running Lubuntu [08:43] NilsFR13: ah right [08:43] hateball: it is at work, with HP swich connexion [08:44] NilsFR13: tried a different cable? [08:44] Link can be detected even with a busted cable, but it may not work properly. You never know [08:46] hateball: juste change cable, runned dhclient, still waiting ... [08:48] NilsFR13: well if all things worked properly it should have fetched a new IP soon as it detected link up [08:48] oops [08:59] Heya, Does anyone have QC35 and Ubuntu with mic working properly ? [09:02] NilsFr13: if this is at work, are you sure there are not things like MAC address controls and such in place? [09:03] or 802.1x and so on [09:03] hateball: freenode bugged, i could not tab your name, refresh page and lost lines ... (newbie !) , tab works now [09:09] hateball: I not sure, but it does not look like there is an MAC@ address control [09:09] hateball: what I can do, is boot on Kubuntu live CD on the MS computer, wait ... [09:10] mac_nibblet: that seems to be a good starting point... https://askubuntu.com/a/833323 [09:13] NilsFr13: Suppose you could [09:13] NilsFr13: You could also try booting 17.04 on the problematic machine, if it's a kernel/driver issue... but Intel things are generally as well supported as they come [09:13] and it's not exactly a brand new chipset either [09:13] minimec, already done that, but still have problems [09:14] hateball: ok for U17 [09:19] ducasse: does lubuntu include a DE? [09:19] the alternate iso that is [09:20] the alternate or better said mini iso gives a choise of desktops. [09:21] at which point? [09:21] it's currently at "select and install software and runs just through [09:21] during install. [09:21] err alternate iso is not Lubuntu [09:22] this is what I downloaded http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/yakkety/release/lubuntu-16.10-alternate-amd64.iso [09:23] oh, that is for computers with small amount of ram [09:23] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Alternate_ISO [09:23] as long as it doesn't have a DE i'ts fine === andyhuzhill1 is now known as andyhuzhill [09:23] Lubuntu has a DE [09:24] >,> [09:24] but if you want to play with cuda, use the server iso, no de, plain basicly the kernel & tools.

[09:24] don't wanna grab the wrong iso again [09:25] need UEFI and 64 bit though [09:25] grab the amd64 version from the server page [09:26] http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-server-amd64.iso ? [09:29] or maybe cuda requires a DE [09:30] way would it? [09:30] the nvidia driver would pull a desktop in, i guess [09:30] as long as the proper driver is loaded for the GPU, no xorg server should be needed to get installed [09:30] or started === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [09:33] hateball: the MS computer to test with Kubuntu Live CD is still shutting down ...

[11:02] NilsFr13: I mean, do you know if there are any network access policies in place? [11:04] hateball: yes I am, but, new in this company, and old IT people are gone, so, not so easy to find out about it, but I do not think there is a network policy, and this computer works running MS Win [11:05] My machine shuts down every night on its own and I am clueless why it is doing this. It never did this in the weeks before. Any ideas or ideas how I can find out why? [11:05] NilsFr13: Well sure, but it is possible the network enforces 802.1x and maybe the windows machines have a certificate or something that grants them access to the network [11:06] NilsFr13: hence me asking :D [11:07] NilsFr13: because both those chipsets are well supported in the kernel and should have no problems [11:07] I am running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS [11:08] hateball: huuum, you're right !, I do not know 802.1x ?, where should I look for it ? => switches ?, I know we have to add a certificate to Firefox, but this is not related to IP addressing ? [11:08] hateball: ok for chipsets [11:08] NilsFr13: that's probably due to SSL inspection when you browse [11:09] hateball: yes I think you are right about this [11:09] Which is creepy. I don't even employ such tactics at my place of work. But that's another discussion :p [11:09] hateball: so no link with IP addressing [11:09] NilsFr13: Nope [11:10] NilsFr13: well, you'd see in the switches config if they use 802.1x, and then you likely have some central server or device that handles the auth [11:10] hateball: I need to quit few minutes, time to buy a sandwich and tobacco !, be back soon ... [11:10] hateball: ok, I will have a look ... [11:12] hateball: as I do not have as much time as I want to setup this computer, I think I will have to set it up with MS, sooo bad ! - And as I want to move all "infrastructure" (do not know english word) to Linux, I will be back with this issue soon or later ...

[11:15] hateball: I live ... and be back ..., first I have to look for auth, switches, servers ..., maybe I might send an email to the IT person who were here before [11:15] NilsFr13: what you can do is run wireshark also [11:15] NilsFr13: that should tell you if you get rejected for not authing to 802.1x (radius) [11:15] NilsFr13: but if you are going to admin the network, it is probably good to know how it is setup :p [11:17] cbauer: the lubuntu alternate image lets you select whether or not to install a desktop, it's one of the last steps. [11:21] At present how many packages are there in official ubuntu repository? [11:22] Could anybody with synaptic package manager take a look? [11:22] Thanks! [11:24] alexxey, that is not to answer, depending on what ubuntu version, archtecture and enabled repositories. [11:25] * there is more than one [11:25] Well, thanks, I think in recent releases the number of packages stays close [11:26] And I mean enable all 4 repos: main restricted universe multiverse [11:26] Thanks! [11:27] This is very easy to look up in synaptic package manager. But right now I don't have Ubuntu installed. [11:28] which version and architecture? [11:28] don't click this, your browser will be occupied for an hour or so ... https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/allpackages [11:30] say 50.000+ [11:30] ducasse, Thanks, I don't mean to specify a specific version/arch, just any version/arch you happen to be using. [11:31] alexxey: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24924230/ [11:31] in that case, >55000 [11:31] oerheks, Right now I'm sitting in front of a debian machine which says 51974, but I guess the number with Ubuntu should be much largert [11:31] alexxey: See lives 49-50 [11:32] alexxey: sorry ... 43-50 [11:33] minimec, Thanks, what command are you using? Havn't see that before. [11:34] alexxey: https://askubuntu.com/a/120638 [11:35] minimec, many thanks. [11:35] or just 'apt list | wc -l', and subtract one. [11:36] ducasse, That's a neat command. Thanks! [11:39] hateball: yes, thanks [11:42] Hello, I try to install firejail on my ubuntu using: https://launchpad.net/~deki/+archive/ubuntu/firejail [11:43] When I do sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deki/firejail it works fine. But when I later do sudo apt-get upgrade I get the following error: W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/deki/firejail/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found [11:43] Therefore when I do sudo apt-get install firejail it cant be found [11:43] or is unable to locatie the package [11:44] This PPA does not support 14.04 [11:44] Ahhh, that explains a lot :p [11:44] Minimum required: 15.10 [11:44] See the PPA page for detailed info [11:45] alexxey: You see that because of the: 0.9.40-1~0ubuntu15.10.0 ? [11:45] pynthon, Yeah, it seems there is no package for 14.04 (trysty) [11:45] s/trysty/trusty [11:46] alexxey: Ah thanks, I will have to upgrade then ;p. Thanks a lot! [11:47] pynthon, I haven't done more research, but I guess there should be a way to install firejail on 14.04 [11:50] alexxey: I will check that out first ty! [11:51] pynthon, :-) [12:03] hey, I needed help with installing ubuntu 14.04.5 with the partitioning part, I have read about it at askubuntu.com but, the opinions seem varied on what type of partition to use and about the efi and boot partition part [12:24] you're going to find plenty of varied opinions on here too [12:25] doesn't efi vary between machines as well? ymmv, etc. [12:26] oh, i suppose not the partition part [12:26] Is it normal for Ubuntu to react to sleep requests via network? [12:27] @SchrodingersScat: at some places people say to just add partitions for just the root directory and swap area ,and at some they say hey , you need to have a boot partition or an efi partition [12:27] I am somewhat confused [12:29] @scottjl: I am particularly confused about whether my root & swap partitions should be logical partitions or primary partitions [12:29] I use fde so I normally let it decide that :/ [12:30] sirius0503: if you're making a separate boot (which I don't recommend) then only boot needs to be primary, root and swap can be logical. [12:30] sirius0503: if you're folding /boot into /root then it should be primary [12:31] scottjl: how am i supposed to make boot or efi partition,since when i previously installed ubuntu , i ended up with ubuntu in the legacy mode and windows on uefi mode [12:32] sirius0503: can't help you with that. i don't use efi, more trouble than it's worth imho [12:33] scottjl: so should i make a boot partition in legacy mode, I don't have any annoyance with switching to legacy or uefi [12:33] you're asking my opinion? yes. but as i said earlier, you'll get lots of varied opinions on that subject in here. [12:34] What are the currently recommended means of directory encryption? [12:35] scottjl: well :D , thanks for your opinion will try that ! [12:36] sirius0503: what i do on my servers, 32G / primary partition, no separate /boot. swap as needed. [12:37] all data/apps go into separate partitions. [12:37] your needs may vary [12:38] scottjl: i also read on the ubuntu wiki that a separate boot is not recommended, but then what will happen in that case? I am a novice, so sorry if the question is a bit stupid [12:39] if you don't make a separate /boot it is simply part of /root [12:39] separate /boot is a holdover from old bios that couldn't boot a partition that was placed over the 2G limit. so you always made sure it was first. [12:39] modern bios this isn't an issue [12:40] scottjl:thanks, for the answer :) [12:41] hello, I've been testing out a 4.11 kernel, and every day the lock screen won't respond I do a "sudo service lightdm restart" from a ssh session, and everything is fine again [12:41] i generally don't recommend / in a lvm because then you have to make sure you have lvm modules in your kernel for them to boot [12:41] i have a co-worker who disagrees and does it, then has to spend time hacking up initrd when it builds without the proper modules. [12:42] I've looked through journalctl, and nothing jumps out [12:43] the lock screen won't respond to the keyboard, but the mouse still works [12:47] Anyone utilizing MaaS and Juju that can provide help? I am unable to conjure-up landscape, and continue to hit this issue (https://pastebin.com/WZKHVDFK). === oerheks is now known as niemand === niemand is now known as oerheks [12:50] day1000: try #ubuntu-server [13:03] hello, I have a quick question about apt, in particular an error I'm seeing when adding a stretch repository to the sources and running apt update [13:03] E: Failed to fetch http://mirror.nl.leaseweb.net/debian/dists/stretch/main/i18n/Translation-en BZ2_bzread: /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.nl.leaseweb.net_debian_dists_stretch_main_i18n_Translation-en.bz2 Read error (-5: DATA_ERROR_MAGIC) [13:04] I get this and it appears that /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/mirror.nl.leaseweb.net_debian_dists_stretch_main_i18n_Translation-en.bz2 is actually a symlink to its plaintext uncompressed counterpart located at /var/lib/apt/lists/mirror.nl.leaseweb.net_debian_dists_stretch_main_i18n_Translation-en [13:04] so not a bz2 file, so kaboom [13:17] anyone know what application the lock screen is?
