[00:28] <Killorf> Is it possible to use Ubuntu Desktop to create a DHCP Server, or do I have to use Ubuntu Server
[00:28] <Killorf> ?
[00:34] <minimec> Killorf: They both have the same base, so yes.
[00:35] <Killorf> ok, thank you!
[00:39] <minimec> Killorf: see here https://askubuntu.com/a/184351 and here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server and here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/isc-dhcp-server
[00:55] <kalcso> I'd recently lose an important folder by using this: sudo -r, How can I recover back that files and folders?
[00:58] <Bashing-om> !recovery
[00:58] <kalcso> Sorry that folder was not related to system files.
[00:58] <Bashing-om> !info extundelete
[00:59] <Bashing-om> kalcso: ^^ maybe ?? worth a try .
[01:00] <kalcso> Is it a fast tool? cause I used to testdisck and it was too slow.
[01:08] <kalcso> Any issue?
[02:45] <lettuce_rap> Can there be more than one "network" in a `wpa_supplicant.conf` file?
[02:57] <kalcso> How can I restore deleted files with extundelete?
[02:59] <bazhang> http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/options.html kalcso
[03:01] <kalcso> extundelete --restore-directory /home/kal/Desktop/mtdoc /dev/sdb1 nothing happen.
[03:02] <kalcso> extundelete: Input/output error when trying to open filesystem /dev/sdb1
[03:03] <kalcso> I want to recover files on my usb
[03:04] <bazhang> kalcso, is the fs on the usb ext or fat
[03:05] <kalcso> None of them, its NTFS.
[03:06] <bazhang> ext undelete wont help with NTFS kalcso
[03:06] <kalcso> I can change it to ext
[03:06] <bazhang> kalcso, it's a bit late to do that
[03:07] <kalcso> I mean my usb.
[03:07] <kalcso> I want to change it to ext4 then restore files from my ubuntu on that
[03:07] <bazhang> kalcso, what distro are you on, debian ubuntu or something else
[03:07] <kalcso> Artful
[03:07] <kalcso> UBUNTU
[03:08] <bazhang> kalcso, the files were on an ntfs usb?
[03:08] <kalcso> No, On ubuntu home
[03:09] <bazhang> kalcso, why did you mention a usb with ntfs
[03:09] <kalcso> Cause I want to restore files from home into usb dev
[03:11] <kalcso> extundelete --restore-directory /home/kal/Desktop/mtdoc /dev/sdb1, As you see files are in home
[03:12] <fishcooker> how to show details of package; eg: screen about its size, version, and all dependencies package?
[03:12] <nacc> fishcooker: apt show screen
[03:13] <nacc> fishcooker: where screen is <pkgname>
[03:14] <kalcso> bazhang, What's wrong with that command?
[03:17] <fishcooker> cool nacc... it works, thanks it looks that screen package have bigger size rather than tmux in total
[03:21] <yabuk> hey, lellow
[03:23] <yabuk> dows anyone know how to install and use the usb wifi adapter tp-link wn722n on ubuntu? I bought this modell because I read that it is supported on linux. I've tried many ways to isntall the Open firmware for ath9k_htc, but without luck
[03:28] <supremum> I have created this custom keyboard map and it works, except for the altgr and shift altgr bindings. any ideas why it may not work?
[03:29] <supremum> the right alt key works as altgr for the builtin keyboard layout
[03:32] <supremum> Here is my custom keyboard layout https://pastebin.com/CjD6chfz
[03:34] <alexxey> yabuk, are you sure about it's actual chipset?
[03:34] <alexxey> yabuk, use lsusb to verify
[03:34] <yabuk> alexxey
[03:34] <yabuk> no, I'm not sure
[03:35] <yabuk> alexxyey, ID 0cf3:e007 Atheros Communications, Inc.
[03:37] <alexxey> yabuk, this is strange, 0cf3:e007 seems to be a Bluetooth device
[03:37] <yabuk> Alexxey #
[03:38] <alexxey> yabuk, maybe you did not plug in the adapter when execting "lsusb"?
[03:39] <yabuk> you are right! the correct lsusb line is "Bus 001 Device 006: ID 2357:010c"
[03:39] <yabuk> just this description chenge when I unplug the adapter
[03:41] <alexxey> yabuk, this 2357:010c seems to be a Realtek model
[03:41] <alexxey> not atheros
[03:42] <alexxey> yabuk, You can try this driver:
[03:42] <alexxey> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/rtlwifi
[03:42] <alexxey> sudo apt-get update
[03:42] <alexxey> sudo apt-get install rtlwifi-new-dkms
[03:43] <yabuk> alexxey, I'm going yo try it right now
[03:44] <alexxey> God damn tp-link, changed to realtek to cut cost
[03:48] <snkcld> do i have to have apparmor installed in order to install lxc/lxd?
[03:49] <yabuk> alexxey,  Unable to locate package rtlwifi-new-dkms
[03:49] <yabuk> I've already added the repostory, and updated
[03:54] <alexxey> yabuk, What ubuntu version are you using
[03:56] <yabuk> ubuntu 17.04
[03:57] <alexxey> yabuk, hmm, seems that that PPA hasn't been updated for a while
[03:57] <alexxey> yabuk, give me a moment to examine
[03:58] <yabuk> alexxey, I'm really sad now, there the TP-LINK TL-WN722N v1 and v2, im my country I found the v2 and the atheros is on v1
[03:59] <alexxey> yabuk, don't worry it'll work
[03:59] <yabuk> alexxey, thank you!
[04:00] <supremum> I got the keyboard layout to work now by using  include "level3(ralt_switch)"  that I found in a built in keyboard layout. I guess that contains modifier key mappings from ralt to altgr.
[04:00] <alexxey> yabuk, I was wrong about the rtlwifi-new-dkms
[04:01] <snkcld> can anyone here with a ubuntu install, who has never installed selinux, tell me if they have libselinux1 installed ?
[04:01] <alexxey> yabuk, It seems this is the correct driver: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
[04:01] <snkcld> i think i just realized why i cant remove libselinux1, because its a dependency of multiple packages, even if you arent using selinux
[04:01] <alexxey> yabuk, But I did not find a PPA repo, maybe you'll have to compile the driver
[04:02] <yabuk> alexxey, may I follow the commands of this page: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
[04:03] <alexxey> yabuk, yes, make sure to install linux-headers-$(uname -r) first
[04:04] <alexxey> apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[04:05] <yabuk> i never did this before
[04:05] <yabuk> but I'll try
[04:05] <alexxey> It'll be a walk in the park
[04:06] <yabuk> thank you
[04:08] <yabuk> may I post here the command before doing? just one line at time
[04:08] <yabuk> ?
[04:09] <yabuk> git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu.git ok?
[04:09] <yabuk> alexxey
[04:11] <alexxey> yabuk, wait a moment
[04:11] <alexxey> i'm having lunch
[04:11] <yabuk> ok
[04:16] <hendry> i'm trying to get a database connection going to mysql, but Unable to locate package libmariadbclient-dev when using Ubuntu Xenial. What am I missing?
[04:18] <fishcooker> is there anyone here using irc chat command line?
[04:21] <oerheks> yes, we all have a prompt
[04:21] <glitsj16> hendry: I can only track libmariadb-client-lgpl-dev in xenial, which says it is the same as libmariadbclient-dev, just has a different license..
[04:21] <alexxey> yabuk, yeah, go ahead, you can also click 'download zip' in the webpage
[04:22] <yabuk> ok, I did the git clone...
[04:22] <yabuk> rsrsrs
[04:23] <EriC^^_> !ping
[04:24] <yabuk> ok, I downloaded, and what should I do now? alexxey
[04:26] <alexxey> yabuk, did you downloaded zip or git cloned
[04:27] <yabuk> I git cloned before you ask to download, but now I downloaded
[04:29] <EriC^^_> !ping
[04:29] <alexxey> yabuk, ok, unpack the zip so you get a folder rtl8188eu-master
[04:30] <yabuk> done
[04:30] <alexxey> Then open a terminal, cd into the parent directory of rtl8188eu-master
[04:30] <yabuk> done
[04:30] <alexxey> so that when you "ls" you see rtl8188eu-master
[04:31] <alexxey> sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r) dkms
[04:32] <yabuk> should I do this command from insdide the rtl8188eu-master? or from outside
[04:32] <alexxey> stay outside, but it's irrelevant
[04:33] <scrapcode> I'm having trouble with my sound getting "staticy" ... new install xubuntu LTS... It might work fine for hours after a reboot, or just a few minutes. "Audio device: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)"
[04:34] <yabuk> done
[04:34] <alexxey> yabuk, forgot one more command, apt install build-essential
[04:35] <alexxey> to ensure the toolchain has been installed
[04:36] <yabuk> done, both commands
[04:37] <alexxey> yabuk, stay in the outside folder, execute the following command
[04:37] <alexxey> sudo dkms add ./rtl8188eu-master
[04:37] <kalcso> I've a problem with extundelete, how can I restore my files?
[04:38] <yabuk> done
[04:38] <alexxey> yabuk, sudo dkms build 8188eu/1.0
[04:41] <yabuk> done
[04:41] <alexxey> yabuk, sudo dkms install 8188eu/1.0
[04:42] <alexxey> Did you see any errors in the last two commands? Watch carefully
[04:43] <yabuk> without errors
[04:43] <alexxey> have you done with 'sudo dkms install 8188eu/1.0'
[04:44] <yabuk> doing
[04:44] <yabuk> done
[04:45] <alexxey> sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/

[04:45] <alexxey> sudo cp rtl8188eu-master/rtl8188eufw.bin /lib/firmware/rtlwifi/
[04:46] <yabuk> should i delete thet directory before cp?
[04:46] <alexxey> no
[04:46] <yabuk> ok
[04:46] <alexxey> it means we don't need to create it again, it already exists

[04:51] <alexxey> I think we are done
[04:51] <yabuk> I just cp from irssi to other terminal
[04:51] <alexxey> Now you can reboot and see if it works
[04:52] <yabuk> lol!
[04:52] <yabuk> tahnk you!
[04:52] <yabuk> thak#
[04:52] <alexxey> yabuk, it's not over yet
[04:52] <yabuk> rsrsr
[04:52] <alexxey> yabuk, try rebooting first
[04:52] <alexxey> maybe there are other problems
[04:53] <yabuk> ok
[04:53] <yabuk> rebooting
[04:53] <yabuk> see you soon
[04:53] <alexxey> :-)
[04:57] <yabuk> alexxey?
[04:57] <alexxey> yabuk, :)
[04:57] <OERIAS> Has anyone tried a docking station on Ubuntu
[04:57] <OERIAS> it's for a notebook computer
[04:57] <yabuk> I'm heppy, there is two wlan here!
[04:58] <yabuk> you're the guy! alexxey
[04:59] <alexxey> yabuk, I think the repo owner lwfinger makes solid driver
[04:59] <alexxey> yabuk, No problem :-)
[05:00] <alexxey> yabuk, Note that if you need to compile other drivers in the future, not all driver can be installed by dkms
[05:00] <alexxey> this driver happened to support dkms
[05:00] <alexxey> the advantage of dkms is you don't have to worry about kernel upgrades. It will automatically rebuild
[06:05] <kalcso> How can I restore data by extundelete into a usb?
[06:12] <alexxey> kalcso, what command did you use actually
[06:13] <kalcso> sudo extundelete --resotre-directory /home/myuser/deletedfilesdir  /dev/sdc1
[06:15] <alexxey> kalcso, what is /dev/sdc1
[06:15] <kalcso> ext4, usb flash.
[06:19] <alexxey> kalcso, don't you need to use   --output-dir
[06:19] <alexxey> to specify where you want the recoverd files to go
[06:19] <alexxey> kalcso, and you cannot just write to block file /dev/sdc1
[06:20] <alexxey> you need to mount it to a dir first
[06:20] <kalcso> before destination folder?
[06:20] <alexxey> I think you can try the following
[06:20] <kalcso> /media/myuser/USBFLASHNAME is dir name
[06:21] <alexxey> this is the mount point of /dev/sdc1
[06:21] <alexxey> ?
[06:21] <kalcso> right
[06:21] <alexxey> sudo extundelete --restore-directory /home/myuser/deletedfilesdir --output-dir /media/myuser/USBFLASHNAME
[06:21] <alexxey> maybe something like this?
[06:22] <alexxey> I'm not exactly sure
[06:22] <kalcso> let's check
[06:24] <kalcso> extundelete: Operation not permitted when trying to open filesystem /media/myuser/USBFLASHNAME
[06:25] <alexxey> try mounting it manually, first eject the usb stick
[06:26] <alexxey> unplug and plug it in again
[06:26] <alexxey> sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
[06:26] <alexxey> check if it's actually /dev/sdc
[06:28] <kalcso> I did, nothing changed, I also ejected that several times.
[06:28] <alexxey> Oh, you probably need to specify the partiton of the home partition
[06:28] <alexxey> is your /home on a separate partition?
[06:29] <kalcso> Yes, it is.
[06:29] <alexxey> check: df -h
[06:29] <alexxey> suppose your /home is on /dev/sda2
[06:30] <alexxey> you need: sudo extundelete /dev/sda2 --restore-directory myuser/deletedfilesdir --output-dir /media/myuser/USBFLASHNAME
[06:30] <alexxey> Note there are 2 changes
[06:30] <alexxey> one is the addition of /dev/sda2 (whatever your home is in)
[06:30] <kalcso> home is 1.6 TB
[06:31] <alexxey> second it the removal of /home in path. so that /home/myuser/deletedfilesdir becomes myuser/deletedfilesdir
[06:31] <alexxey> remove /home/
[06:31] <alexxey> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/File_recovery#Usage
[06:32] <kalcso> Nothing happen by remove home from the path
[06:32] <kalcso> home is sda1
[06:32] <alexxey> remount /dev/sda1 as read only
[06:33] <alexxey> mount -o remount,ro /dev/sda1
[06:33] <kalcso> Is there anyway to return changes after this command?
[06:34] <alexxey> mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1
[06:34] <alexxey> you mean remount it as read-write
[06:34] <kalcso> I did, nothing happen
[06:36] <alexxey> what is the actual command you are using now
[06:36] <alexxey> and the output?
[06:37] <kalcso> sudo extundelete --restore-directory /myuser/deletedfolder --output-dir /media/myuser/
[06:37] <kalcso> or even with home path
[06:38] <alexxey> sudo extundelete /dev/sda1 --restore-directory /myuser/deletedfolder --output-dir /media/myuser/
[06:38] <alexxey> nonono
[06:38] <alexxey> this one:
[06:38] <kalcso> NOTICE: Extended attributes are not restored.
[06:38] <kalcso> WARNING: EXT3_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_RECOVER is set.
[06:38] <kalcso> The partition should be unmounted to undelete any files without further data loss.
[06:38] <kalcso> If the partition is not currently mounted, this message indicates
[06:38] <kalcso> it was improperly unmounted, and you should run fsck before continuing.
[06:38] <kalcso> If you decide to continue, extundelete may overwrite some of the deleted
[06:39] <alexxey> ok then, do the following step by step
[06:39] <kalcso> Should add USB name after /media/myuser/ ?
[06:39] <kalcso> * should I
[06:40] <alexxey> should be the mount point
[06:40] <alexxey> e.g. /media/john/usb0
[06:40] <alexxey> but there are other errors in your command
[06:41] <kalcso> unrecognized option '--output-dir'
[06:42] <alexxey> kalcso, what ubuntu version are you using
[06:42] <kalcso> It's artful
[06:44] <alexxey> kalcso, so this utility expect you to unmount the file system you will be operate on. But you cannot unmount /home
[06:44] <alexxey> So you will have to use a liveCD or something
[06:45] <alexxey> kalcso, if --output-dir is not usable don't use it anymore, it's deprecated. And dont specify any /dev/sdc1
[06:47] <alexxey> and note that it's "myuser/deletedfolder" not "/myuser/deletedfolder"
[06:48] <alexxey> extundelete will restore any files it finds to a subdirectory of the current directory named “RECOVERED_FILES”
[06:49] <alexxey> So in a live system, mount your USB stick, cd into it and use extundelete
[06:50] <kalcso> My CD/DVD rom not works.
[06:51] <kalcso> It's garbage.
[06:51] <alexxey> use the usb stick to create a live usb
[06:51] <alexxey> and restore the file to your root partition
[06:53] <kalcso> after files recovery done with success, Would files name change?
[06:54] <alexxey> it says it is able to restore file name http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[06:54] <alexxey> I've never tried
[06:56] <kalcso> So before everything I need to make a live usb, then mounting /home, after that I should use bellow command:
[06:57] <kalcso>  sudo extundelete --restore-directory /deleteddirpath /dev/sd[rootpartition]
[06:57] <alexxey> No, you got it reversed
[06:57] <alexxey> and do not mount home
[06:58] <alexxey> the whole point of live USB is to umount /home
[06:58] <alexxey> I think you need to do the following
[06:58] <alexxey> 1. create a liveUSB
[06:58] <alexxey> 2. boot liveUSB
[06:59] <alexxey> 3. mount root partition to /mnt
[06:59] <alexxey> 4. cd /mnt
[06:59] <alexxey> 5. install extundelete
[06:59] <alexxey> 6. sudo extundelete /dev/sda1 --restore-directory myuser/deletedfolder
[07:00] <alexxey> and note that it's "myuser/deletedfolder" not "/myuser/deletedfolder"
[07:00] <alexxey> don't type the first slash.
[07:00] <alexxey> Your files will be restored to a folder RECOVERED_FILES in root partition
[07:03] <DerLG> anyone here ever tackled nvidia drivers?
[07:04] <kalcso> Alexxy, thanks. Is there anyway to make live usb without downloading ubuntu?
[07:05] <DerLG> kalcso: you kinda need the file locally in order to burn it to dvd or put it into usb
[07:06] <DerLG> kalcso: unless you did a  network install...
[07:06]  * DerLG shrugs
[07:07] <oerheks> it would be magic without downloading
[07:08] <kalcso> Unfortunately I've not an iso file, :) but magic somewhere is needed.
[07:08] <kalcso> Thanks, alexxey. Let see what would happen.
[07:14] <alexxey> kalcso, No problem
[07:14] <alexxey> just download the iso and dd it to usb stick
[07:14] <alexxey> For Windows, use Win32DiskImager
[07:22] <kalcso> I'm using Furius iso mount.
[07:23] <DerLG> exit
[07:37] <dw1> since i upgraded to 17.04 i'm getting a "cups-pki-expired" error when i try to print. anyone know how to refresh this cert?
[07:38] <dw1> hm
[07:39] <dw1> since i upgraded to 17.04 i'm getting a "cups-pki-expired" error when i try to print. anyone know how to refresh this cert?
[07:39] <dw1> apt install --reinstall cups didnt help
[07:39] <dw1> maybe i can find where the cert is :]
[07:44] <DerLGm> still trying to figure out how to get nvidia driver to work
[07:45] <dw1> usually it installs automatically or from 'Additional Software'
[07:45] <dw1> in the old days i downloaded a .run from the site and ran via command prompt
[07:45] <dw1> @DerLGm
[07:47] <DerLGm> dw1: well i tried installing the one that was on the nvidia site
[07:47] <DerLGm> and it messed up my resolution
[07:47] <DerLGm> dw1: i was trying to update my driver because i wasnt getting audio
[07:48] <dw1> ahh
[07:48] <dw1> well maybe it installed properly then and you just need to change res
[07:49] <dw1> in the system menu there should be some Display or Monitor or NVidia program
[07:49] <dw1> where you can update the res
[07:50] <dw1> (o_o)
[07:50] <DerLGm> sorry dw1
[07:51] <DerLGm> didnt catch response
[07:52] <DerLGm> so yeah, audio wasnt working in pulse or alsamixer so i tried updating driver from nvidia site. did so n now resolution is craps.
[07:53] <dw1> in the system menu there may be some Display or Monitor or NVidia program where you can update the res
[07:53] <dw1> Apps -> System
[07:55] <DerLGm> dw1: i dont have the default ubuntu desktop env anymore. im using openbox.
[07:56] <dw1> DerLGm: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55786 idk
[08:01] <DerLGm> dw1: thnx
[08:14] <Cybertinus> Hello
[08:15] <Cybertinus> I'm running Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS on my laptop and I want to reconfigure the terminal that it copies text when I select it. How can I do that?
[08:15] <Cybertinus> I've searched the internet already, but all it showed me where posts from 2009 and stuff. Which just isn't relevant anymore, imho
[08:17] <m0j0dj0dj0> Hi did u try middle click mouse ?
[08:17] <m0j0dj0dj0> after selection
[08:19] <Cybertinus> hmm, yeah. That works. How do I get it in the normal buffer, so I can just use ^V or shift+insert or something?
[08:20] <thid> hmm in my case even with middle button shift+insert works
[08:21] <Cybertinus> not in my case
[08:21] <m0j0dj0dj0> thx thid i didn't know that it works for me
[08:24] <Cybertinus> how did you get that to work thid? :)
[08:25] <AnnaRooks> hi im lil confused what happened with plymouth on my computer, i tried to do update-alternatives a new theme, but then it wouldnt show the new theme on boot, and only showed the text theme when powering down
[08:29] <thid> Cybertinus: gnome-terminal support that
[08:29] <Cybertinus> thid: ok, how do I enable that feature then? :)
[08:30] <thid> Cybertinus: on ubuntu gnome it works outofbox
[08:30] <Cybertinus> I'm using gnome-terminal, but it doesn't work for me ;)
[08:31] <Exterminador> guys i have a little and maybe dumb question. about this, what's really the ram that i have to use? :X  https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/fQtH5caK/
[08:31] <Exterminador> the free thing or the available thing?
[08:31] <Exterminador> :x
[08:32] <m0j0dj0dj0> AnnaRooks: sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth ; does the "*" is on your theme ?
[08:32] <AnnaRooks> yep
[08:33] <m0j0dj0dj0> did u  update-initramfs -u ?
[08:33] <AnnaRooks> yea
[08:33] <thid> Cybertinus: check settings in gnome-terminal
[08:34] <Cybertinus> hmm, ik works within gnome-terminal itself. But when I try to copy some text from the terminal to firefox (to google an error for instance), then only middle-click works, not shift+insert
[08:34] <m0j0dj0dj0> AnnaRooks: what the return of : ls -l /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth
[08:35] <AnnaRooks> er. cant copy paste. but its 777 and a symlink to the .plymouth file i think?
[08:37] <m0j0dj0dj0> but does it the symlink to the .plymouth of your wanted theme ?
[08:38] <AnnaRooks> yea, that probably was important to mention, sorry
[08:41] <fallentree> Exterminador: used - buffers/cache. Read this:  http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[08:43] <Exterminador> fallentree: tks
[08:43] <fallentree> Exterminador: and sorry, typo, I meant free+buffers/cache
[08:44] <Exterminador> basically, available :D
[08:44] <fallentree> free is literally unused, and buffers/cache are freed in favor of applications needing ram, so that's effectively what you have under available
[08:44] <Exterminador> nice
[08:44] <fallentree> yes
[08:44] <m0j0dj0dj0> AnnaRooks: https://paste.ubuntu.com/24931555/ this is what i do in my install script to set up the pony boot animation, it works on ubuntu-gnome
[08:45] <mojtaba> Hello, does anybody know how can I start an xsession of a remote machine on alt+ctrl+f8 console? (while having the local one on f7)
[08:45] <mojtaba> I can ssh to machine B from machine A.
[08:46] <adac> How can I see on command line, if there are auto updates enabled (security updates)
[08:46] <AnnaRooks> m0j0dj0dj0: oh i just realized i installed it to /lib instead of /lib/share, would that affect it?
[08:47] <AnnaRooks> the instructions said /lib specifically, but idk if its changed?
[08:48] <vlt> mojtaba: LTSP is exactly doing that. Somehow. You might want to look at how they solved that.
[08:48] <mojtaba> vlt: Thanks. I will look in to it.
[08:48] <blaster> What's the channel for general banter on this network?
[08:49] <mojtaba> vlt: Machine A (which is the main machine is an Ubuntu machine) and machine B is a Mac.
[08:50] <Aliekezhi> hi, by default on my mate session (using ubuntu), pressing Print screen key starts "mate-screenshot"... I would like instead "mate-screenshot -i", how can I change this ?
[08:52] <vlt> mojtaba: Sounds more complicated then.
[08:52] <mojtaba> vlt: I want to be able to have an xsession of the Mac in Ubuntu.
[08:52] <vlt> mojtaba: Does the Mac run X?
[08:53] <mojtaba> vlt: hmm. How can I test it?
[08:53] <vlt> mojtaba: I don't know much about Macs.
[08:53] <BlueShark> can anyone tell me what language this is? https://i.imgur.com/vu9pFCh.png
[08:53] <vlt> mojtaba: Tools and technologies that might be useful: xfreerdp, xvnc,
[08:54] <mojtaba> vlt: Thanks for the info.
[08:54] <vlt> BlueShark: These are greek letters.
[08:54] <BlueShark> vlt, thanks - how would you type them?
[08:55] <vlt> BlueShark: (Sounds like the name of a flower.)
[08:55] <vlt> BlueShark: I'd set my keyboard to a Greek layout.
[08:55] <BlueShark> i just want it in my clipboard.
[08:56] <BlueShark> if only someone were kind enough to type that :D
[08:56] <vlt> BlueShark: Open greek wikipedia and copy paste the letters you need ;-)
[08:56] <cbauer> I've skipped the process of setting up an account when installing ubuntu-server, I suppose there's no default password for root, right?
[08:56] <vlt> BlueShark: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysanthemum
[09:04] <AnnaRooks> m0j0dj0dj0: thanks for the script, i didnt realize that i had to move the theme from /lib to /usr/share
[09:06] <m0j0dj0dj0> AnnaRooks: you're welcome :)
[09:08] <thid> cbauer: thers no root in first place, only sudo :D
[09:08] <thid> I mean root is disabled
[09:08] <cbauer> not after I enabled it :P
[09:08] <thid> then sudo su
[09:08] <cbauer> it's a single-purpose vm anyway
[09:08] <thid> passwd
[09:08] <cbauer> don't need user-management really
[09:08] <cbauer> just cuda for number crunching
[09:09] <thid> :D
[09:09] <cbauer> (gpu passthrough vm)
[09:09] <cbauer> even isolated from internet, so there's no point in limiting myself to a non-root account
[09:10] <cbauer> if I have to then run practically every command with sudo and get problems with redirection
[09:10] <thid> so true
[09:11] <thid> I also prefere to use root on servers
[09:11] <cbauer> so why say "thers no root in first place" :P
[09:12] <Ben64> it's disabled on most ubuntu installs
[09:14] <cbauer> didn't need to enable it though to become root
[09:14] <cbauer> it just has ! in password field in my shadow
[09:27] <AnnaRooks> i sudo su sometimes and then totally forget about it
[09:44] <cbauer> can't seem to be able to mount my ubuntu-server livecd in uefi mode
[09:45] <Ben64> what do you mean
[09:46] <eoh667> On 16.04.02 LTS (Kernel 4.8), I have an USB stick with some weird file system that I would like to dump as a file. When I install the stick `lsusb` shows it just fine, but it does not show up as `lsblk -a`. I know the stick works (I see it as `/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1` on Ubuntu, and I can `dd` it on MacOS). What can I do to make it visible as a block device?
[09:46] <m0j0dj0dj0> lsblk
[09:46] <m0j0dj0dj0> may be
[09:46] <m0j0dj0dj0> ha
[09:47] <m0j0dj0dj0> what does lsusb return ?
[09:47] <eoh667> relevant line: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 05dc:a83a Lexar Media, Inc.
[09:49] <Ben64> what's the output of dmesg after you plug it in
[09:50] <eoh667> My dmsg file is empty, but in syslog I get:
[09:50] <eoh667> Jun 22 22:22:12 host kernel: [10288570.860788] usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

[09:52] <Ben64> dmesg
[09:52] <Ben64> and use paste.ubuntu.com
[09:53] <cbauer> can I disable my dGPU for displaying graphics to just use it for CUDA in grub or somewhere like that?
[09:54] <eoh667> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24931799/
[09:56] <Ben64> eoh667: that isn't dmesg
[09:56] <eoh667> Help me out then please, what is dmesg?
[09:57] <Ben64> it's a command
[09:57] <Ben64> plug in the flash drive, wait 30 secs, run dmesg
[09:57] <eoh667> What I pasted is exactly what I received when I type `dmesg` ...
[09:57] <Ben64> that's it?
[09:58] <eoh667> There is more output regarding UFW and nginx, which I removed, but basically that's it.
[09:58] <Ben64> try plugging the drive into a usb 2 port
[10:01] <eoh667> The device doesn't have any USB 2.0 ports (it's an Intel NUC i3), but when I plug it into another random 3.0 port on the back:
[10:01] <eoh667> http://paste.ubuntu.com/24931824/
[10:12] <m0j0dj0dj0> eoh667: did the usb stick use to work before ?
[10:14] <eoh667> m0j0dj0dj0: Yes, it has an somewhat esoteric embedded file system though. I can access it from MacOS (e.g., `dd if=/dev/xxx of=test`), and can use it from our embedded test platform.
[10:16] <m0j0dj0dj0> what kind of fs ?
[10:17] <Ben64> doesn't matter, it isn't even getting to that point
[10:17] <Ben64> it's either a usb problem or a flash drive problem
[10:18] <eoh667> I just for fun plugged it into my Windows machine, and it shows up just fine there (\Device\Harddisk3\Partition1).
[10:18] <Ben64> try a different flash drive in ubuntu
[10:19] <eoh667> m0j0dj0dj0, which is what I am trying to find out :D
[10:21] <eoh667> Might there be a better place to ask? Is this a kernel question? A [insert subsystem] problem?
[10:21] <eoh667> I'm 99% positive the stick is fine.
[10:22] <Ben64> maybe ##linux, but it's probably a usb3 thing
[10:24] <m0j0dj0dj0> i'm curious about the fs, what "diskpart" on windows tell you about that ?
[10:36] <eoh667> m0j0dj0dj0, i suck at diskpart, but after some fighting the output I get is "* Partition 1    Primary            119 GB    32 KB"
[11:00] <jhonnyBeGood> anyone know how to upgrade a opackage for security reasons?
[11:00] <jhonnyBeGood> some issues reported for openvpn package
[11:01] <jhonnyBeGood> but I saw on debian track on sid is already solved
[11:09] <fallentree> jhonnyBeGood: apt update && apt upgrade, those are all fixed on Ubuntu btw: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/pkg/openvpn.html
[11:14] <eoh667> Ben64, the problem turned out to be mundane: the system was running for many months, and apparently some kernel cleanup logic removed all of the current kernel's modules, in particular usb_storage. once I reinstalled the appropriate 'linux-image-4.8.0', it just worked
[11:23] <Aliekezhi> hi, How can I map the "print key" to the command I want in mate desktop ?
[11:28] <Aliekezhi> Oh I found my answer, it's simple : only had to click on "Add" in the keyboard shortcut menu, didn't see it ^^
[11:35] <jhonnyBeGood> fallentree I am using ubuntu 16 , it should cover the update security issues on openvpn if I do apt-get upgrade? How can I check it ?
[11:38] <fallentree> jhonnyBeGood: I gave you the link where it lists CVEs for the package openvpn
[11:39] <sylario> hi I just installed  Ubuntu 17.04 on an ASUS X206HA,  but the sound card is not detected
[11:40] <sylario> when i do lspci -v there is no audio device listed
[11:40] <sylario> what should I do?
[11:42] <tomreyn> sylario: do you know the exact model (it should say on the bottom, following the 'X206HA-' product series.
[11:43] <sylario> FD0020TS
[11:44] <jhonnyBeGood> fallentree I saw it but it seems avaiable just for Ubuntu 17.04
[11:45] <fallentree> jhonnyBeGood: read the table again. See the column "Xenial". All green, "released".
[11:46] <jhonnyBeGood> sorry falletree I saw that but how Can i confirm that the security was applied?
[11:47] <fallentree> jhonnyBeGood: check this: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn   then in the table, under "Xenial Xerus" click 2.3.10-1ubuntu2.1 row to expand the changelog, and see
[11:48] <sylario> crap, and the computer does not come back when you open it back
[11:49] <jhonnyBeGood> fallentree thanks so much!!! openvpn 2.3.10-1ubuntu2.1 means security package was installed
[11:50] <tomreyn> sylario: this is base don Atom x5-Z8300. some atom chipsets are problematic (not sure if this one, but what you say sounds as if).
[11:52] <tomreyn> sylario: try the hwe and maybe hwe-edge kernels
[11:53] <ioria> sylario, are you on 17.04 zesty ?
[11:54] <tomreyn> sylvario: oh those wont be available on 17.04 i guess, sorry.
[11:57] <sylario> ioria: yes  I am on 17.04
[11:58] <sylario> on 16.04 there is no keyboard, and on 14.04 there is no WiFI
[11:58] <ioria> sylario, i think it's a bug, tale a look at #102   comment  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1563110
[11:58] <sylario> I tested it
[11:58] <ioria> *take
[11:59] <sylario> ioria:  testing the script
[12:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[12:07] <tomreyn> sylario: make sure oyu really have this intel sst chip: dmesg | grep intel_sst
[12:11] <sylario> tomreyn it says intel_sst_acpi 808622A8:00: No matching machine driver found , it seems it match
[12:13] <tomreyn> yes thats the one
[12:13] <sylario> Script is installing
[12:13] <sylario> Next time, i'll help people only if the machine costed more than 200€
[12:13] <sylario> ^^
[12:14] <sylario> I never had that kind of problem since... 10 years? probably because I tend to avoid the really cheap stuff
[12:16] <sylario> It's sad because a light distro really help when you have a cheap machine that try to run Windows 10
[12:18] <ioria> well, ubuntu per se it's not exactly 'light'
[12:18] <sylario> more than 10
[12:18] <sylario> windows
[12:19] <ioria> boh, i'd say the same ... think about x(l)ubuntu
[12:20] <sylario> I will not be around to support the machine and I am not aware of the quality of the support of the many many end user oriented distro
[12:22] <sylario> so I went the canonical route
[12:22] <tomreyn> hmm thzat kernel.zip download is apparently limited to a maximum of 100 KB/s
[12:23] <sylario> I am at top speed on it : 600KB/s
[12:23] <sylario> top seed for my current connection
[12:23] <tomreyn> okay, you must have found the one mirror which is not all busy
[12:25] <sylario> Is github using aws?
[12:26] <tomreyn> yes
[12:26] <sylario> i have a github.something.something.amazonaws.com url
[12:27] <tomreyn> got a copy now through a faster tunnel
[12:28] <tomreyn> so that's a patched 4.12.0-rc1 kernel .deb
[12:38] <tomreyn> sylario: so what you are installing there is a customized kernel, patched by means we do not know. just be aware of this, it *could* be dangerous.
[12:38] <cbauer> for some reason lspci can't return and ^C is ignored...
[12:38] <sylario> well, i lost trackpad, and still no sound
[12:40] <sylario> tracpad is back !
[12:43] <tomreyn> cbauer: you can kill the process ('killall lspci' or 'killall -9 lspci') fomr a different temrinal. check 'dmesg -T | tail -n100' for what happened there.
[12:43] <tomreyn> fomr -> from
[12:43] <cbauer> it couldn't find an lspci process
[12:43] <cbauer> I did kill the bash process it was running in now
[12:44] <cbauer> just digged in /sys/devices/pci... around now to get what I needed
[13:28] <MayS> Hey , How to increase keyboard controlled mouse speed ? Delay settings not working .
[13:28] <MayS> !
[13:47] <sylario> well, I tested multiple stuff but still no sound and that asus laptop
[13:47] <sylario> thx anyway for the help
[14:32] <sobczyk> anyone hit a bug with lxc copy that causes entries in config to be multiplied
[14:36] <lifeboy> Ubuntu 17.04: I ssh into a 14.04 server and out of the blue the terminal session freezes. Using the save the network link, I can log into the console of that server and it's totally responsive.
[14:37] <lifeboy> If I wait for a few minutes, the server responds again.
[14:38] <lifeboy> Nothing I can see in syslog or elsewhere that gives an indication what happens.  I suspect it's terminal or ssh?  Or is systemd the bastard again?
[14:42] <fallentree> lifeboy: "save the network link"?
[14:43] <fallentree> btw, 14.04 doesn't use systemd
[14:43] <lifeboy> fallentree: type "same network link"... sorry
[14:43] <lifeboy> Yes, I know, but 17.04 does...
[14:44] <lifeboy> If it's a client side problem
[14:46] <thewillo> anyone know why ADATA SSD is throwing errors in Gparted? is it a known issue?
[14:46] <thewillo> It might be related to my laptops poor excuse for a UEFI firmware
[14:47] <thewillo> and it crashes ubiquity on versions 16.04 and above.. works normally on 14.04
[14:47] <fallentree> lifeboy: does it happen every time?
[14:50] <lifeboy> fallentree, no, it happens randomly
[14:54] <xentity1x> Can someone explain to me the difference between the different startup files. What's the difference between bashrc and profile?
[14:54] <litheum> !profile
[14:54] <litheum> oh oops, wrong channel for that :-)
[14:55] <scottjl> xentity1x: best to man bash and read the man page. (or whatever shell you're using)
[14:55] <fallentree> lifeboy: well, you could check the journal, but that sounds like your connection breaking
[14:55] <litheum> xentity1x: i've found great comfort in http://mywiki.wooledge.org/DotFiles
[14:56] <lifeboy> Fallentree: that's the weird thing. I use that same connection to access the Proxmox cluster that this server runs on and when it freezes I can connect to the cluster just fine and access the server console and log in.
[14:57] <lifeboy> Nothing on that server indicates any problem
[15:00] <xentity1x> litheum okay so bashrc is for non login shells, bash_profile is for login shells, and profile is for login shells that aren't necessarily bash?
[15:00] <scottjl> bash will read .profile as well
[15:00] <scottjl> so will most other shells
[15:01] <litheum> xentity1x: you may as well read through the "INVOCATION" section of the bash man page to see if it matches your understanding after reading that page :-)
[15:01] <fallentree> lifeboy: so it's a proxmox VM?
[15:02] <lifeboy> fallentree, yes.  Essentially KVM/QEMU.
[15:03] <foist> Can anyone help me get the resolution right on my external display? I'm trying to follow the guide here https://diigo.com/09uhlq (highlighted parts) but it doesn't seem to work with just xrandr.
[15:03] <lifeboy> I have many machines running on the same cluster and have never had this.
[15:04] <fallentree> lifeboy: perhaps it's a problem on the host side then
[15:04] <lifeboy> I'll ssh into another server on there and see what happens when this first connection stops responding.  That should give me an indication of whether it is the connection or not.
[15:06] <fallentree> lifeboy: not necessarily. the host could be dropping connections
[15:06] <fallentree> conntrack etc
[15:11] <lifeboy> fallentree: Ok, I have now seen this: When the session freezes, the session on the other server is still responsive (via the same link).  When I then ssh into the frozen server from the other host, again I can log in, no problem
[15:11] <lifeboy> So it's the actuall ssh session that freezes, nothing else
[15:14] <lifeboy> Ah! I see in syslog on the "freezing" server "IPv6: eth0: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::3030:31ff:fe63:6331 detected!"
[15:15] <lifeboy> sorry, not in syslog, in kern.log
[15:18] <fallentree> lifeboy: fe80, is that something proxmox defines?
[15:18] <fallentree> (I mean that's link local space)
[15:20] <lifeboy> It probably is, but I have never had this.  Anyway, I just disable ipv6 for now.
[15:21] <lifeboy> disabled
[15:21] <lifeboy> thanks fallentree for engaging

[16:33] <Voop> super noob here - could someone tell me the command to change permisisons of a certain file
[16:33] <Voop> is it sudo chmod -R /path/to/file -755
[16:34] <Voop> nope, missing operand
[16:36] <SuperSeriousCat> No -R on a file
[16:36] <pavlos> Voop: chmod 755 file
[16:36] <SuperSeriousCat> It is for recursive folder chmod'ing
[16:36] <Voop> ok
[16:37] <Voop> hmm is 755 the right permission
[16:38] <SuperSeriousCat> Probably want to do "sudo chmod 755 /path/file
[16:38] <SuperSeriousCat> "
[16:38] <pavlos> Voop: that's rwx for owner, r-x for group, r-x for others
[16:39] <nacc> Voop: we don't know what the "right" permission is, only you do :)
[16:40] <nacc> Voop: why are you changing the permissions of the file (with root)?
[16:41] <Voop> i set up a php image uploader on my apache server
[16:41] <Voop> it just gives an error. the php guys said the permissions were probably wrong
[16:42] <Voop> but i just changed them and its still broken
[16:42] <Voop> so *shrugs*
[16:42] <nacc> Voop: i genuinely hope you know what you're doing :) php has a whole mess of security issues (always) and mucking with permissions to fix it, usually means you're just exposing more of your system to potential issues.
[16:43] <Voop> i dont know what im doing honestly
[16:43] <Voop> just learning
[16:44] <Voop> i should probably learn how to sanitize inputs once i get this script working
[16:44] <SuperSeriousCat> Probably need to chown apacheuser:apacheuser on the script and the folder the images go to
[16:45] <SuperSeriousCat> And a stricter chmod
[16:47] <pavlos> Voop: this may help, https://superuser.com/questions/581194/setting-correct-permissions-for-uploading-files
[16:48] <Voop> thanks
[16:59] <Voop> pavlos: that worked!

[17:09] <grischa> Hello, i have troubles starting my system up. I get the grub help menu but it cant read any filesystems. So i put an manjaro usb in and tried other efi files. On the second file it booted up normaly. How can i fix it that i can start normaly, without usb again? http://dpaste.com/3WMXCG1
[17:14] <lifeboy> fallentree, the problem is back. The ssh session still freezes from time to time. Any other ideas on what to check?
[17:19] <darinavbt> Hello. Is there somewhere I could get some assistance setting up a test OpenStack deployment using Ubuntu Autopilot? I seem to be running into an issue.
[17:19] <nicomachus> lifeboy: can you give a quick, succinct rundown of what the issue is and what you've tried so far? use paste.ubuntu.com if necessary.
[17:20] <Dr_Fragenstein> Hello.  I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on AMD 64.  I just attempted to update/upgrade, and the latter failed part way through because it cannot down jdk-9-ea+174_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz (the link from which it's trying to download the file is now a dead link).  So the upgrade fails with "download failed ... Oracle JDK 9 is NOT installed. ... dpkg: error processing package oracle-java9-installer (--configure)"
[17:20] <nacc> darinavbt: i would ask in #ubuntu-server
[17:20] <Dr_Fragenstein> Now my system is hosed.  I have googled for "jdk-9-ea+174_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz" with the intent to download it elsewhere and put it into /var/cache/oracle-jdk9-installer/, but I can't find the target file anywhere.
[17:20] <darinavbt> Thank you!
[17:20] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: oracle java is not an ubuntu package
[17:21] <pavlos> Voop: you're welcome
[17:21] <nicomachus> nacc: openjdk would be the best option, right?
[17:21] <Dr_Fragenstein> Okay.  It is, though, an ubuntu-related issue.  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade has trashed my system based on not being able to download a file.  Where is the appropriate place to seek help for this?
[17:21] <nacc> nicomachus: as far as support goes, sure
[17:21] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: no, you weren't running 'ubuntu', you were running 'ubuntu + oracle java'. We can't support oracle java
[17:23] <Dr_Fragenstein> It seems like more of a package management/dependency issue.  I'm sure if I ask oracle about this I'll get a similar answer (we don't support ubuntu).  I understand if there's no support here, but can you point me to the right place to get help?
[17:25] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: um, if you downloaded a package from oracle you better hope they support it
[17:25] <Dr_Fragenstein> In the alternative, is there any way to "undo" (per se) a half-upgraded system?
[17:25] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: where did you gt the oracle java9 package form?
[17:25] <pavlos> Dr_Fragenstein: did you add a ppa to get jdk9?
[17:26] <Dr_Fragenstein> I don't have the package.  That's the problem.  The upgrade tried to download it from a dead link.  I have searched for the file elsewhere with the intent to download it, but I can't find it anywhere.
[17:27] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: no, that's not how apt works
[17:27] <Dr_Fragenstein> The file in question, which I don't have, can't find and oracle apparently no longer makes available, is jdk-9-ea+174_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz
[17:27] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: apt-cache policy oracle-java9-installer
[17:27] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: i didn't say the file, i said the *package*
[17:27] <genii> nacc: Most likely webupd8 team ppa
[17:27] <Dr_Fragenstein> pavlos: Yes, I believe that I may have
[17:27] <Dr_Fragenstein> Let me see
[17:28] <Dr_Fragenstein> Yes: 9b174-1~webupd8~0
[17:28] <nacc> genii: right, i'd expect so, as well
[17:28] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: you should ask the ppa owner for support
[17:28] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: or remove the ppa if you don't need it
[17:28] <Dr_Fragenstein> Okay, thank you.
[17:29] <Dr_Fragenstein> I honestly don
[17:29] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: why is it installed? (or more specifically why is oracle java 9 installed?)
[17:29] <Dr_Fragenstein> ...don't remember why I installed java 9, but it was nothing but trouble, so I never used it.
[17:29] <nacc> Dr_Fragenstein: note also dont' just rm the sources.list file for the ppa, use ppa-purge
[17:30] <Dr_Fragenstein> IIRC, I was trying to install a PDF manipulation tool that required JRE9, but it ended up not working anyway
[17:30] <Dr_Fragenstein> Thank you
[17:31] <genii> Dr_Fragenstein: You can edit pdfs in LibreOffice
[17:32] <RonWhoCares> would someone interpret this error @ https://pastebin.com/rcERafqq
[17:32] <RonWhoCares> The hard drive has only the primary partition setup
[17:32] <Dr_Fragenstein> genii: I have that plugin, but it's flaky.  Also, I was trying to more than just edit PDF's.  The tool I was attempting to use can cut/splice specifally marked page areas.
[17:33] <nicomachus> RonWhoCares: looks like whatever drive you're trying to read has a bad superblock. Open it in gparted and see what the filesystem type is.
[17:34] <ioria> sdc != sdd
[17:34] <nicomachus> ah, right, good looking.
[17:41] <MortezaE> Hi, ll /var/lib/apt/list showed me:

[17:42] <kalcso> Why my deleted files doesn't appear? sudo extundelete /dev/sda1 --restore-all
[17:42] <MortezaE> doesn't  ubuntu update univers repos?
[17:42] <nacc> MortezaE: have you run `sudo apt update`?
[17:42] <MortezaE> nacc, yes i did
[17:43] <MortezaE> nacc, in fact , through synaptic i did reload multi times until now
[17:44] <nacc> kalcso: i don't think there is any guarantee that extundelete can actually recover your files
[17:44] <nacc> MortezaE: are you not seeing package updates for some universe packages?
[17:45] <MortezaE> kalcso, try photorec command from testdisk package
[17:45] <MortezaE> nacc let me see..
[17:45] <Dr_Fragenstein> nacc, pavlos, it worked.  A few pieces of software may be broken, but that it certainly much preferrable to a totally broken system!  Thanks, guys!
[17:45] <kalcso> Yep its clear.
[17:45] <MortezaE> what package should i checkfor example?
[17:46] <kalcso> MortezaE, I did but it is too slow.
[17:47] <pavlos> Dr_Fragenstein: after the ppa is removed, update/upgrade should give you be a clean/current system
[17:47] <MortezaE> kalcso,  one of little ways imho
[17:47] <Dr_Fragenstein> It did.  I'm about to reboot to make sure, but at least the update/upgrade process completed with no errors this time.
[17:47] <Dr_Fragenstein> @pavlos
[17:47] <MortezaE> kalcso, search in "free" space to do things faster
[17:48] <pavlos> Dr_Fragenstein: excellent
[17:50] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:50] <kalcso> Files had .py extenstion, would photorec restore them? how about file names?
[17:55] <MortezaE> nacc, After searching some packages(babiloo, blender, bluefish) from universe origin in packages.ubuntu.com, it seems ubuntu doesn't update them
[17:55] <MortezaE> https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=blender&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all
[18:02] <Marbug> Hi, how can you get kodi with nonfree option so you can read directly from the rar files? :/
[18:02] <Marbug> or do you need to compile it from source as an only option to get it done? :/
[18:06] <krytarik> !latest | MortezaE

[18:25] <rajivmars> hi all. i am using ubuntu 16.04.2. the problem i m facing is the screen brightness of my hp laptop automatically increases to 95% when plugged/unplugged to the power source for the first time after turning the laptop on. anybody please help me to figure this out.
[18:27] <supremum> Getting some error messages when using apt-get install. Here is the command and the output https://pastebin.com/1YgYJW83 How do I fix this?
[18:28] <rajivmars> also as i mention it is happening the first time i plugged or unplugges my laptop to the power source after turning it on. and i have to adjust the brightness everytime i turn my laptop on.
[18:37] <nacc> supremum: no errors reported.
[18:38] <nacc> supremum: those are warnings (W:)
[18:45] <supremum> nacc: ok, so my computer is ok?
[18:45] <nacc> supremum: not sure why you'd think it wasn't?
[18:46] <supremum> because of those messages, I thought something went wrong.
[18:46] <nacc> supremum: warnings are just that ... warnings, not errors
[18:47] <supremum> ok. thanks

[19:14] <Kitlith> ioria, I'll tell them to run that and paste the results.
[19:14] <supremum> I have retried, and got the same error message.
[19:15] <Kitlith> supremum, try a sudo apt-get update before doing that?
[19:17] <supremum> Kitlith: I'll try that, but I have to reload my virtual machine from the earlier state because apt-get thinks i already installed  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:17] <Kitlith> apt-get remove ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[20:00] <gp5st> what can I do to allow another user to delete a file in /tmp that I create?
[20:11] <Sleaker> gp5st: chmod o+w filename
[20:17] <gp5st> Sleaker, /tmp has a sticky bit. that won't work
[20:17] <Sleaker> ooo
[20:17] <gp5st> (actually, I'm not sure if it'd work in general because you need w on the dir to delete a file, right?)
[20:17] <Sleaker> worked just fine for me
[20:17] <Sleaker> touched a file in tmp, chmodded it.
[20:18] <Sleaker> isn't tmp rwxt?
[20:18] <gp5st> Sleaker, are you the same user?
[20:18] <Sleaker> ah I see what you mean.
[20:18] <gp5st> http://dpaste.com/2VV9T6K
[20:19] <Sleaker> right
[20:20] <Sleaker> my suggestion would be, don't use tmp for those files.
[20:20] <Sleaker> seems like you're trying to use it for something it wasn't intended to be used for.
[20:21] <JustTheDoctor> Hello, i am a developer and i am interested in using a torrent system to distrubite my open source projects.. is there anyone here that can walk me threw creating and seeding torrents on a ubuntu operating system?
[20:22] <JustTheDoctor> (ubuntu ssh terminal.. the creation and hosting system is a vps with ssh cmd only.)
[20:23] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, have you search for it. lit the first result for me was a stack overflow post explaining how
[20:23] <JustTheDoctor> i also need to find the client.
[20:23] <JustTheDoctor> can you link me that stack over flow result?
[20:23] <Sleaker> JustTheDoctor: you wont be using a client if you're hosting the torrent file.
[20:24] <JustTheDoctor> in windows, i used utorrent to create http://files.cryptodepot.org/ the panda install .torrent,
[20:24] <Sleaker> correct.
[20:24] <Sleaker> but you have no GUI if you're doing this on a VPS.
[20:24] <JustTheDoctor> so i thought i need a client to create the torrent
[20:24] <JustTheDoctor> correc
[20:24] <Sleaker> and that means you need a daemon to serve the data.
[20:24] <JustTheDoctor> correct*
[20:24] <Sleaker> not a client.
[20:24] <JustTheDoctor> the daemon on linux, is the client in windows
[20:25] <Sleaker> different tools for different things.
[20:25] <JustTheDoctor> i need a torrent daemon, that works like utorrent but on linux
[20:25] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, also, as an aside, S3 will automatically torrent files for you, ?torrent after a public file will give you the torrent file for it
[20:26] <Sleaker> JustTheDoctor: you can try rtorrent.
[20:26] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, seriously, just google it. there's ctorrent and rtorrent for command line use
[20:26] <JustTheDoctor> gp5st: can you link me to the result you got?
[20:26] <gp5st> I know ctorrent can create torrent files
[20:26] <JustTheDoctor> ok
[20:26] <glitsj16> gp5st: if you create the file under a subdir in /tmp and chmod +w that dir you should get what you want.. the sticky bit on /tmp can be circumvented in that case because you only need write perms on the containing dir for file deletion
[20:26] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, no. I googled "create torrent file ubuntu"
[20:26] <JustTheDoctor> i'll use ctorrent
[20:27] <JustTheDoctor> but now i have to figure out how to MAKE the torrent file..
[20:27] <JustTheDoctor> and then figure out how to seed it
[20:27] <gp5st> glitsj16, ooo, good idea. I just didn't know if there was a way to opt-out of sticky bit protection
[20:27] <Sleaker> JustTheDoctor: I suggest reading man docs on ctorrent or their help documentation it should have everything you need.
[20:28] <gp5st> Sleaker, he really just needs to google it. there's a wealth of information out there :)
[20:28] <glitsj16> gp5st: i just tested it, works here
[20:28] <gp5st> glitsj16, yeah, that makes perfect sense. sticky wouldn't be recursive
[20:28] <glitsj16> gp5st: indeed
[20:28] <gp5st> glitsj16, thanks!
[20:29] <glitsj16> gp5st: no trouble, it refreshed my memory on /tmp sticky bits as well
[20:29] <JustTheDoctor> all i want to know is in ssh "whatcommand makesthisfile.blah thetorrentfile.torrent
[20:29] <JustTheDoctor> then how do i seed it
[20:29] <JustTheDoctor> Google has yet to show me how to do those and it worked
[20:30] <Sleaker> you don't use ssh for that JustTheDoctor?
[20:31] <JustTheDoctor> i need to know
[20:31] <JustTheDoctor> what ctorrent
[20:31] <JustTheDoctor> command i would type to create a torrent, i dont know how,
[20:31] <Sleaker> JustTheDoctor: we don't know ctorrent, it's suggested that you install it and try 'man ctorrent'
[20:31] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, you'll need to pick a tracker and then run your torrent program with your file. that's how you seed
[20:32] <JustTheDoctor> i realize what i did wrong
[20:32] <daum> hi guys - i'm trying to setup raid on my ubuntu 16.04 install, it's already up and running so i would prefer not to have to restart.  The problem is my /dev/sdb1 is a EFI system and I can't figure out hwo to convert that from that.  I know I can disable UEFI in the bios which then will let non-secure boot but can't figure out what to do about my boot partition.  Any thoughts on how to fix that?
[20:32] <JustTheDoctor> im asking protocal specific question in the wrong area
[20:32] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, or you could just google it :) "create torrent file ubuntu" first result for me is a stackoverflow post
[20:33] <JustTheDoctor> is transmission a command line torrent app?
[20:33] <gp5st> Not that I'm aware of
[20:33] <JustTheDoctor> because, once again
[20:33] <JustTheDoctor> I AM ONLY COMMAND LINE
[20:34] <JustTheDoctor> everything i find on creating in ubuntu is GUI based
[20:34] <gp5st> yeah, we gotchya
[20:34] <Voop> cli is hard
[20:34] <gp5st> Voop, it's actually easier
[20:34] <gp5st> JustTheDoctor, https://askubuntu.com/questions/32024/how-to-create-a-torrent-using-the-command-line
[20:35] <gp5st> seriously, I don't believe it wasn't in the top handful of results for you
[20:35] <JustTheDoctor> ok so now i need to learn the tracker info,
[20:35] <JustTheDoctor> Thank you gp5st and everyone else
[20:35] <gp5st> also, transmission-create is a command line
[20:35] <JustTheDoctor> you have made it easier for me.
[20:35]  * gp5st rolls his eyes
[20:36] <swift110> hey all
[20:36] <JustTheDoctor> roll on harder
[20:37] <cloudbud> How can i verify if my logrotate is executing the  logrotate is working
[20:42] <swift110> lol
[20:53] <oerheks> cloudbud, check the /var/lib/logrotate/status file, and check the dates?
[20:57] <cloudbud> oerheks : I have a script that is always running and it is generating some logs. so I have applied the logrotation policy and have placed a script in /etc/logrotate.d/ .but it seems that the log file is not being rotated as it was 1.4 GB yesterday I checked. Also is it because of the copytruncate parameter in the logrotation file.   it's because the script is not closing the old file and opening the new one.

[21:00] <CountryfiedLinux> Does anyone here know a lot about the new AMD driver Ubuntu compatibility? I'm thinking about buying a new laptop that has an AMD e2-7117.
[21:01] <CountryfiedLinux> As you were. It's an AMD e2-7110
[21:05] <isene> Running Weechat in tmux via ssh to a remote server. I have meta-up (meta-meta2-A) bound to /buffer -1, and I want to bind shift-meta-up to /buffer move -1, but when hitting meta-k and then pressing shift-alt-up, nothing happens - no response (running weechat in tmux running on a remote server via ssh). I suspect tmux is eating my keys. I asked over at #weechat first, but got the reply that tmux might be
[21:05] <isene> eating keys. So I asked over at #tmux but no luck. I have done unbind-key S-M-Up in tmux bot to no avail. Any ideas?
[21:15] <guttume> i am trying freetds to connect to sql server on a local network but it comes with the error 'Adaptive Server is unavailable or does not exist'

[22:01] <thiras> is it best practice to use .profile file for adding a path?
[22:02] <nacc> thiras: .profile is used, iirc, for login shells
[22:03] <CarlFK> thiras: i would say yes.
[22:03] <thiras> nacc, that should be bash_rc
[22:03] <thiras> thanks
[22:03] <CarlFK> oh ight.
[22:03] <nacc> thiras: what would be bash_rc?
[22:03] <nacc> thiras: do you mean .bashrc?
[22:03] <CarlFK> .bash_rc ;)
[22:03] <CarlFK> ack.  I shuold really check my files :p
[22:04] <nacc> thiras: it should go in .bashrc generally, if you want it to affect all bash sessions
[22:04] <nacc> thiras: iirc, default. profile sources $HOME/.bashrc

[22:05] <ycyclist> Can I make a gpt partition on a drive where I've already made an mbr partition with fdisk?
[22:06] <nacc> ycyclist: that doesn't make sense, they are two different partition table types, i think
[22:07] <nacc> ycyclist: hrm, maybe i'm wrong -- it seems tehcnically possible
[22:07] <nacc> ycyclist: but don't do it, it seems unmanageable to keep the two tables in sync
[22:07] <kenrin> Try it and find out.  Don't see why you would want to though
[22:08] <kenrin> I believe it will overwrite the mbr with GUID.  according to the gdisk man page
[22:08] <ycyclist> Okay, I just got in with gdisk, and it warns me if I add a partition I will overwrite something in a bad way I think...
[22:09] <ycyclist> Ideally, I'd like to use gdisk to make my second partition, if I can add a gpt without messing up the mbr that is already there.
[22:09] <akik> ycyclist: why don't you keep using the mbr scheme?
[22:09] <ycyclist> Yes, I believe it.  I would like it if it modified it without trashing my filesystem, but I bet that is not the behavior.
[22:10] <ycyclist> Because it is a 3tb drive, and by using mbr I just threw out 745gb
[22:10] <Loshki> Hmm. In gparted, the 'create partition table' asks you to select a type. gpt is one of them. The choices are mutually exclusive, and apply to the entire disk. With a big warning that it will trash anything on there.
[22:10] <ycyclist> fdisk won't let me access that last 745, but gdisk will.
[22:10] <ycyclist> I believe it.
[22:11] <ycyclist> Well  I ^C'd out,a nd I'll just wait for another time.  Sigh.
[22:13] <ycyclist> BTW somebody should mention to the desktop/GUI folk that there should be an easy way to stow your window without bringing your mouse so close to the button that deletes your window.
[22:13] <kenrin> You can edit that yourself
[22:22] <dckx> glitsj16: Hi, I'm back. dckx: okay, before deciding on where you can put the synclient settings, let's try to get it to behave he way you want. in a terminal, run 'synclient FingerLow=25; synclient FingerHigh=30' for starters and see if that does something positive for you
[22:22] <glitsj16> dckx: hi again, yes I remember posting that
[22:22] <dckx> glitsj16: I jut did that.
[22:23] <dckx> glitsj16: it changes the behavior, but not sure if the parameter I'm trying to correct
[22:23] <dckx> glitsj16: I think I'll test all variables which are not evidently controlling something else
[22:23] <glitsj16> dckx: there's quite a few synclient parameters that might affect it, that makes it hard to pin down i realize that
[22:24] <glitsj16> dckx: IIRC, your original settings for those 2 params where set to 1, which I found rather low
[22:26] <xrandr> i have a file that was split up and placed into multiple RAR files. How do I extract them so that it re-assembles the file(s)?
[22:27] <dckx> glitsj16: 25 and 30 are ut of bounds though
[22:27] <CountryfiedLinux> Does anyone here know a lot about the new AMD driver Ubuntu compatibility? I'm thinking about buying a new laptop that has an AMD e2-7110.
[22:28] <dckx> glitsj16: I think it resorts to the max possible value. In any case, I think that mostly affets pressure
[22:28] <glitsj16> dckx: those where just suggestions, based on my own settings, try playing with the values .. yes, pressure-related indeed
[22:31] <glitsj16> dckx: I lost the URL from the pastebin you posted here yesterday, still have that lying around? I was just starting to compare when you had to leave (I hope the baby is doing allright :) btw)
[22:32] <minimec> CountryfiedLinux: The 'AMD e2-7110' seems to be supported. That doesn't mean that other hardware components of that laptop you want to buy are fully supported. If the laptop happend to be one of these (see link), you're ok, I guess... ;) https://certification.ubuntu.com/catalog/component/dmi/4458/dmi%3AAMDE2-7110APUwithAMDRadeonR2Graphics/
[22:32] <dckx> glitsj16: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24928411/
[22:32] <dckx> glitsj16: baby doing great, thanks :D
[22:32] <akik> xrandr: just start unraring it from the first file
[22:33] <glitsj16> dckx: thanks, I'll try to find the most likely candidates and report back.. nice to hear :)
[22:35] <dckx> glitsj16: to explain better my issue with an exmaple. Imagine you are using your web browser and want to click an icon on the bookmark. If I move the cursor to an icon, and then want to move it to the icon right next to it, I move my finger over the touchpad the distance it would be required to move the cursor on the screen. My finger moves, but the cursor doesn't... then, when I'm almost finishing moving my finger, the cursor starts moving, and moves the
[22:35] <dckx> same distance I moved my finger... but with a delay. However,  since I didn't see the cursor moving immediately, I continued moving my finger, hence the cursor moves farther than the icon I was trying to reach. Also, that problem only happens for changing the cursor from an idle state to a moving state
[22:35] <dckx> glitsj16: so basically, any small motion with th touchpad becomes very difficult because the motion itself lasts less than the cursor movement delay
[22:36] <glitsj16> dckx: I can see why you'd like to change that behavior yes
[22:36] <minimec> dckx: Dumb question: What version of ubuntu are you using? What did you do to disable 'libinput' used in recent ubuntu versions? It could be that you try to configure a driver that is not even in use... ;)
[22:37] <glitsj16> dckx: I just don't exactly know what parameter could cause that, well not yet anywya
[22:37] <glitsj16> *way
[22:38] <dckx> glitsj16: 16.04
[22:38] <CountryfiedLinux> minimec, Is that proprietary driver support or just free?
[22:38] <glitsj16> dckx: both HorizHysteresis and VertHysteresis might be affecting what you describe
[22:39] <dckx> glitsj16: cool, will check what happens if I change them
[22:42] <minimec> CountryfiedLinux: That I cannot tell you.
[22:44] <xrandr> akik: it will know to extract the other .part.rar files?
[22:44] <xrandr> akik: thanks
[22:44] <dckx> glitsj16: I think that was it. Set to 0 makes it better although not perfect. But set to 100 for instance really exacerbates the issue
[22:45] <dckx> glitsj16: thanks! Where should I save these values?
[22:46] <glitsj16> dckx: well, you have 2 options: (1) editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics .. and (2) put your synclient commands in a simple shell script and autostart that..
[22:47] <glitsj16> dckx: I personally don't like to mess with what X has installed under /etc, so I use option 2 myself
[22:47] <akik> xrandr: yes
[22:48] <xrandr> akik: thanks :)
[22:48] <dckx> glitsj16: will follow your advice. Gotta feed baby again. Thanks!!
[22:48] <glitsj16> dckx: great, seems like a healthy hungry baby :p .. enjoy
[22:53] <MWM> so is ubuntu touch/mobile dead in the water? https://developer.ubuntu.com/start/ubuntu-for-devices/devices
[22:54] <akik> MWM: canonical will end their ubuntu touch project but there's already a project to support the devices
[22:56] <MWM> akik:  so by "a project to support the devices" that means the official devices that the OEMs have?  I was interested in porting it to an old Android device
[22:56] <glitsj16> dckx: just for the record, and if you read this later, try playing with 'AccelFactor' too.. lowering that would lessen the delay you experience IMO.. good luck, very irritating if your touchpad is out-of-sync with those fingers
[22:56] <MWM> and thanks.  that was more answer than I could find myself :D
[22:56] <akik> MWM: https://www.ubports.com/page/fs-flash-phone
[22:57] <akik> MWM: there's some android devices there too
[22:58] <MWM> time to put on my reading glasses :)  Thanks for the links
[22:58] <LinkHylian_> hi
[22:59] <LinkHylian_> so my pc when i try to liveboot into my ubuntu live cd it worked once and i couldnt use the keyboard or mouse
[22:59] <LinkHylian_> i couldnt do anything so i turned it off
[22:59] <thewillo> how trivial would it be to switch to a new glibc? Do i have to recompile everything not staticly linked?
[23:00] <nacc> thewillo: why would you want to do that?
[23:00] <LinkHylian_> now its back to the black _ screen
[23:00] <LinkHylian_> i couldnt do anything but that
[23:00] <XAlkindiX> LinkHylian_: what kind of PC motherboard u use?
[23:00] <LinkHylian_> asus
[23:00] <thewillo> nacc: because I need specific versions of things
[23:01] <nacc> thewillo: then why are you using a distribution?
[23:01] <thewillo> nacc: Because I also need the computer for dialy use when I'm not working
[23:01] <XAlkindiX> LinkHylian_: this is wierd
[23:01] <LinkHylian_> i had peppermint 7 on it then i went to install kde and it froze and cpu fan went high
[23:01] <nacc> thewillo: you can try and change glibc, but unless you know what you're doing, you're likely to break library ABI dependencies and trash your system
[23:01] <LinkHylian_> and i couldnt boot into it
[23:01] <nacc> thewillo: it makes way more sense to that kind of thing in a VM or container you can throw awy
[23:01] <LinkHylian_> so i madea ubuntu live cd
[23:01] <LinkHylian_> and that wasnt working
[23:01] <thewillo> I don't know what I'm doing, but i'm probably more qualified than anyone else who doesn't know what they are doing
[23:02] <LinkHylian_> on my deskto
[23:02] <LinkHylian_> its the sae live cd i used to install ubuntu on my laptop
[23:02] <nacc> thewillo: the notion that you need a specific glibc version, and don't know what you're doing is contradictory to me
[23:02] <LinkHylian_> so i dont know how to use pxe
[23:02] <thewillo> nacc: I don't know linux very well but I have my own OS that I'm making(that's what I want to upgrade glibc for)
[23:02] <LinkHylian_> and Package 'dhcp3-server' has no installation candidate
[23:03] <LinkHylian_> i cant find the repo for it
[23:03] <LinkHylian_> or whatever
[23:03] <nacc> thewillo: based on ubuntu?
[23:03] <thewillo> certain parts of the OS are dependant on ubuntu 14.04 versions of stuff
[23:03] <thewillo> nacc, no, but the build environment is ubuntu
[23:03] <LinkHylian_> so now i trying pxr
[23:03] <LinkHylian_> *pxe
[23:03] <nacc> thewillo: i have no idea how "I don't know linux very well" but you are making your own OS goes together
[23:03] <thewillo> nacc: for now anyways
[23:03] <LinkHylian_> but im stuck at dhcp3-server
[23:03] <nacc> thewillo: but I think you're outside the scope of the official ubuntu support channel
[23:04] <thewillo> ok
[23:04] <nacc> LinkHylian_: what version of ubuntu?
[23:04] <LinkHylian_> 17.04
[23:04] <thewillo> I'll just hack around till I get it working then
[23:04] <thewillo> I want to stay with ubuntu so I can grab sources from the repos
[23:04] <nacc> LinkHylian_: dhcp3-server is only in 12.04
[23:04] <LinkHylian_> ah
[23:04] <LinkHylian_> do you know how to get pxe up in 17.04?
[23:05] <LinkHylian_> on the host side
[23:05] <LinkHylian_> all the guides ive found went to dhcp
[23:05] <nacc> LinkHylian_: you don't need to setup a dhcp server?
[23:05] <LinkHylian_> i was just following guides
[23:05] <LinkHylian_> but i dont think i do
[23:06] <LinkHylian_> so
[23:06] <LinkHylian_> so ybe skipping that part
[23:06] <LinkHylian_> maybe*
[23:06] <nacc> LinkHylian_: what are you trying to do? setting up pxe is a technical goal, what is your general intent
[23:07] <LinkHylian_> to take files off my desktop's hhd (the one im having problems with)
[23:07] <LinkHylian_> it has a linux flesystem already
[23:07] <LinkHylian_> on the hhd
[23:07] <LinkHylian_> but peppermint 7 wont boot
[23:07] <nacc> LinkHylian_: why do you need pxe for that?
[23:07] <LinkHylian_> so thats why im trying pxe
[23:08] <LinkHylian_> because i cant get a livecd to work
[23:08] <LinkHylian_> it acts up
[23:08] <nacc> LinkHylian_: what live cd have you tried?
[23:08] <LinkHylian_> and its the only os on my hhd
[23:08] <LinkHylian_> ubuntu 17.04
[23:08] <nacc> LinkHylian_: ok, and ubuntu 17.04 live usb wouldn't boot?
[23:08] <LinkHylian_> i had used it to install it on the pc im in now
[23:09] <LinkHylian_> well it goes to where i want to install it or try it in lie
[23:09] <LinkHylian_> it doesnt go much past there
[23:10] <LinkHylian_> i hit install and its at a black screen
[23:11] <LinkHylian_> its been that way for a short bit
[23:11] <LinkHylian_> maybe i should try making a new livecd?
[23:11] <nacc> LinkHylian_: so you had ubuntu 17.04 on your pc now (you said you had used it to install) -- but then it failed?
[23:11] <nacc> LinkHylian_: or are you using the same dying disk now?
[23:11] <LinkHylian_> im using my other pc right now
[23:12] <LinkHylian_> i jsut installed 17.04
[23:12] <nacc> LinkHylian_: ok, there is no way for me to know you have two PCs.
[23:12] <LinkHylian_> trye
[23:12] <LinkHylian_> true*
[23:12] <nacc> LinkHylian_: so you have a pc-a, with a dead install and pc-b with a working 17.04 install
[23:12] <nacc> LinkHylian_: your goal is to get files off pc-a?
[23:12] <LinkHylian_> to get files off the hhd
[23:13] <LinkHylian_> but i tried live cd and its not working
[23:13] <LinkHylian_> so thats why i was trying to use pxe
[23:13] <LinkHylian_> i dont have a sata to usb
[23:13] <LinkHylian_> if i did i would of used that
[23:13] <nacc> LinkHylian_: the only symptom on pc-a is a black screen? what was on pc-a?
[23:14] <LinkHylian_> pepperint 7
[23:14] <LinkHylian_> peppermint*
[23:14] <LinkHylian_> i went to install kde and it had froze
[23:14] <nacc> LinkHylian_: it sounds like maybe pc-a is just dying generally
[23:15] <LinkHylian_> maybe
[23:15] <nacc> LinkHylian_: i'm not sure that if it can't boot off a live usb that pxe booting is going to be any better
[23:15] <nacc> LinkHylian_: and it's certainly more work to setup
[23:15] <LinkHylian_> but it would be worth it to me
[23:15] <LinkHylian_> ill loose like 10% of my data
[23:16] <LinkHylian_> but its lots of stuff
[23:16] <LinkHylian_> on had peppermint os doesnt have irc
[23:16] <LinkHylian_> 'anymore
[23:16] <LinkHylian_> oh*
[23:19] <nacc> LinkHylian_: i'm not sure why that matters if pc-a doesn't even boot?
[23:20] <LinkHylian_> i can get into bios and pxe
[23:20] <LinkHylian_> without a problem
[23:20] <nacc> LinkHylian_: if you disconnect pc-a's hdd, does the live usb work?
[23:20] <LinkHylian_> doesnt seem to
[23:25] <LinkHylian_> in the live cd i hit check disk and its at a black screen
[23:26] <LinkHylian_> its s=frozen there
[23:26] <LinkHylian_> like caps light and num lock arnt turning on
[23:26] <LinkHylian_> but my led mouse is light
[23:28] <LinkHylian_> when i try to just let it boot into the live cd it just goes to a blinking _
[23:28] <LinkHylian_> when i try by selecting it in bios it goes to the options to install try etc
[23:28] <LinkHylian_> but i cant get past there
[23:30] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | LinkHylian_ ?? Maybe try :
[23:31] <LinkHylian_> ok
[23:33] <LinkHylian_> its frozen agian when i put other ram in there but it went to the screen to install or try ubntu
[23:33] <LinkHylian_> ubuntu*
[23:33] <LinkHylian_> but the grub one
[23:33] <LinkHylian_> not*
[23:35] <Bashing-om> LinkHylian_: Set in bios to boot the CD ?
[23:36] <LinkHylian_> its booting to it already
[23:36] <LinkHylian_> when it boots into it i cant use the mouse or keyboard
[23:36] <LinkHylian_> wait
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> i can use the mouse rn
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> i unplugged my gpu
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> im using the igpu rn
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> and other rm from the kingston i had in there
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> but
[23:37] <LinkHylian_> i think itll work now
[23:38] <LinkHylian_> seems to be
[23:38] <LinkHylian_> yes it is
