I was suddenly having issues where it would not boot up, and would go to emergency mode. (I think that my dog had unplugged the power to one of my externals which makes up part of the lvm). I managed to get booted by commenting out the line in my fstab, but now it seems like the external drives are being given the wrong labels, and I'm [02:24] not sure how to fix it. According to the file in /etc/lvm/backup it should consist of sdc1 (3.6TB), sdd1 (465GB), and sdb1(4.5TB). However, when I do pvdisplay it shows sdb1(3.6TB), sdc1(465GB), and lastly unknown device (4.55TB). So I think I can see what the issue is, but I'm not sure exactly how to proceed, as I'm afraid to rewrite the metadata or something and lose all my data. Thanks in [02:24] advance for any advice!

[03:20] sary, sure I can reinstall... but I can't have this be a regular thing. this is scary [03:20] I need this system to be stable [03:21] Anyway, how can I check the filesystem for errors from the live image?

[03:22] Nope, the channel is unusually quiet tonight [03:23] wyth: No, you see all messages . in your case, no one ops in for dealing with LVM to this time . [03:23] Ah, ok. I was only here once before and I remember a lot of people being really helpful, so then I was wondering if it was just me [03:24] Oh, Bashing-om it was you who I remember before! heh heh [03:24] Hi all, anyone had problems with ipv6 in very recent 4.4.0 kernels on 16.04? [03:24] I'm having an issue where my non-privacy address quits working after an indeterminate but short (maybe 5-10 minutes) time after bringing the interface up [03:24] Before this started it was working fine for over six months [03:25] sadtaco: ' sudo e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sdXY ' .as in sda1 IF that is the target partition . [03:25] @brocktice, I may be having that issue. Recently applied Ubuntu updates, and now my laptop won't mount a NAS file share on my network. Problem started right after the updates. It could be an IPv6 issue, maybe. I don't know what my problem is yet. [03:26] uhhh I'm getting ""NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s" even trying to boot into the live image [03:26] the "try unbuntu without installing" [03:26] BarryIsLost: hmm OK that's something [03:26] wyth: LVM is out of my range of experience . [03:26] @brocktice, also, if that's your name, we're probably distantly related (says Barry Tice). [03:27] Hahahaha could be, I know a Barry Tice but pretty sure it's not you ;) [03:27] BarryIsLost: are you using IPv6 to connect to the NAS? [03:27] Bashing-om: Gotcha. Seems like the sdX is getting assigned to the wrong drives, so by the time it gets to the last one it just leaves it as unknown device [03:27] So.. wtf do I do now? [03:27] Do you know the one who sails a lot of boats? Wisconsin, maybe, near the great lakes? I'm not him. [03:27] this is so weird..

He has the underscore. I don't. [03:28] Sorry [03:28] I'm sure I've sent you stuff lol [03:28] anyway [03:28] Are you using IPv6 for the NAS? [03:28] Not intentionally. :-) [03:28] then probably that's not it [03:29] My fstab maps the NAS using ipV4. [03:29] I guess I need to try the 17.0.4 live image instead? [03:29] That's what I installed initially... [03:29] but burned a 16.04 instead which keeps doing that "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s" [03:30] seems like a hw issue honestly [03:30] maybe...

[03:34] Where does it list what the checksum should be? [03:34] For ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso [03:34] Right. I've been connecting to the NAS just fine for months and months. I applied Ubuntu updates two days ago, and now it won't connect. Another unupdated 16.04 box on the network mounts the NAS without issue, and both 16.04 boxes can ping each other. But, I cannot ping the NAS. [03:34] nvm i see it [03:35] Checksum is correct. 1400884cec8e40a1a876b2678f81494b [03:35] BarryIsLost: are you using samba? [03:35] Yes. [03:35] Hmmm, although if you can't even ping that's pretty strange. [03:35] Same subnet? [03:36] The other box can ping the NAS? [03:36] the other 16.04 box I mean [03:36] Same subnet, and yes, the other box can ping the NAS.

[03:37] BarryIsLost: the fstab doesn't really matter if you can't ping [03:37] Any firewall on the NAS? [03:38] sadtaco: Boot the liveDVD; spam the escape key for the boot options menu and here " check disk for defects" . If that check passes seems like ya got hardware issues :( [03:38] Bashing-om, I get that same error in "check disk for defects"... [03:38] None that I've configured. It's a pretty standard Buffalo NAS. [03:38] And, now I couldn't connect to it (at least from this box) to reconfigure if there is one. [03:39] sadtaco: Check the disk ( USB) in a different machine ? [03:40] BarryIsLost: there were some updates recently around the samba v1 security holes [03:41] I almost wonder if there's fail2ban on the NAS [03:41] and somehow that locked you out [03:41] im going to try burning a ubuntu 17 one first.. [03:41] BarryIsLost: if you could change your IP address to another one on the same subnet and see if you could ping it that would be instructive [03:41] hang on [03:41] you should be able to do it without changing [03:41] Do you know how to configure an interface alias? [03:43] BarryIsLost: so if you do ifconfig :0 192.168.1.200 (for example) and then ping -I 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.2, that should do the trick [03:43] @brocktice, no, I don't. But I take instruction well (even if the instruction is "Go read this man page"). [03:43] of course make sure it's not an address already in use [03:43] so if it's enp1s0 then it's "ifconfig enp1s0:0 192.168.1.200/24" [03:43] "check disk for errors" on 17 instead gives a blinking cursor and seems to do nothing.. lol [03:43] but no soft lock error.. [03:43] and then "ping -I 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.2" [03:44] you'll need sudo for the first command [03:44] I'm not sure how to determine my interface. How do I tell if it's enp1s0? [03:44] BarryIsLost: if you do "ifconfig" you should see a list [03:45] one will have your current IP address of 192.168.1.X next to it [03:45] My ifconfig has an wlp3s0, so that would be it. [03:45] oh is it wireless? [03:45] Yes. [03:45] Ah ok [03:45] I've never seen a wlp name before [03:45] Anyway that's the one [03:46] so it would be ifconfig wlp3s0:0 etc [03:46] OK. I've done the ifconfig blah blah, and then ping blah blah listed above, and I still get Destination Host Unreachable. [03:47] BarryIsLost: how about "ip route get 192.168.1.2" ? [03:47] @brocktice [03:47] barry@barry-T430:~$ ip route get 192.168.1.2 [03:47] 192.168.1.2 dev wlp3s0 src 192.168.1.65 [03:47] cache [03:48] well... that looks kosher [03:48] And this computer is otherwise networking OK? [03:48] Is the other machine wireless as well? [03:49] Yes, and yes. [03:49] And the buffalo router is the nas... man something is really goofy [03:49] Clearly I can hit IRC on this box, and it surfs the web fine. It also can get to the modem/router's control panels. [03:49] wait [03:49] so you can go to the web interface on 192.168.1.1? [03:50] During install, I used to pick Erase Disk and Install ubuntu, then set the option for cryptography. So it configured everything automatic, but, now I have other partitions and cant do a full disk installation, so if I pick Advanced Option, in order to do things myself, how would I get it encrypted ? The easy way, preferable automatic like the other [03:50] It's actually 192.168.1.254, but yes. [03:50] oh [03:50] It's an AT&T fiber modem. [03:50] Oh... not the buffalo [03:50] I see [03:50] Okay.. I changed which GPU was the primary GPU and unplugged some GPUs [03:50] I guess that's on .2 anyway [03:50] and I no longer get the "out of memory" error and it boots into ubuntu [03:50] wtf lol [03:51] BarryIsLost: can you plug into the network with Ethernet? [03:52] Plugging in... [03:53] OK. I'm wired... [03:53] And, that can ping the NAS. [03:54] And, that mounted the NAS. [03:55] BarryIsLost: so... that's pretty strange [03:55] See if you have some kind of fail2ban on the buffalo [03:55] or other firewall settings [03:55] your problem is clearly just the connectivity [03:55] and only between those two devices [04:00] Okay... [04:00] I had this problem where windows would boot into recovery mode with 6 GPUs plugged in, but 5 was okay [04:00] Now I'm getting the same in Ubuntu even though, previously, I could boot and run Ubuntu fine with 6 GPUs plugged in [04:00] gpu detox recovery [04:02] @brocktice, I can't find any indication of firewall settings on the NAS. Here's another fun one: the laptop is dual boot, and when I boot into Win7, it connects to the NAS just fine over Wi-Fi. [04:02] (Should have mentioned that one earlier, I guess. :-) ) [04:02] hmmmm [04:03] that is pretty out there [04:03] The Buffalo NAS also is not configured for Web access or Web service support. So, I'm not even seeing anywhere to configure any firewall settings. [04:04] iptables -S [04:04] but if it can connect from Windows that's not it [04:04] barry@barry-T430:~$ sudo iptables -S [04:04] -P INPUT ACCEPT [04:04] -P FORWARD ACCEPT [04:04] -P OUTPUT ACCEPT [04:04] so, nothing [04:05] Well, I'm past due for bed, I'll keep thinking about this [04:06] If you still have that yahoo email I guess I know where to contact you :p [04:06] As am I, @brocktice. But I appreciate the help. [04:06] I don't use the yahoo much these days. Try hotmail instead. :-D [04:06] will do, goodnight! and good luck [04:06] Thanks for the help! [04:14] Anyone have an idea of what I could check as to why I get that "out of memory" error when booting, and those "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s" errors when I try to boot the live image or check the disk? [04:14] that is with 6 GPUs, that is. [04:15] I could boot with 6 GPUs fine before. Now I have to disconnect one of them (and I tried different ones, doesn't matter) so that it's 5 or less to boot. [04:15] hi [04:18] anyone here know how to uninstall the antivirus f-prot on ubunut? [04:25] sadtaco, were any of the GPU's dual-gpu cards? [04:25] Nope [04:25] There is limitations on how many most UEFI/BIOS will initialize [04:25] You can initialize the rest with kernel mods [04:26] Oh? [04:26] It's weird because it worked earlier today... [04:26] theoretically I mean, I'm not sure there is any public ones, but I know people(specifcally research teams) have done it [04:26] then it crashed, power outage or something, and stopped working [04:27] Well, I can't explain why it stopped working if you didn't change anything [04:29] Yeah.. [04:37] so i finally got the bright idea of logging into the router where i found that my machine was considered offline and i think was being recognized as localhost and after clicking around a bit fixed it [04:37] tho i suspect this will return [04:37] Is there a US based mirror for cloud-images.ubuntu.com?

[06:50] Maybe I am not understanding the issue here [06:50] I'm trying to open it on the Windows computer. On my Lubuntu computer, I just downloaded it, threw it onto a USB drive and copied it onto the Windows computer. That's where it's showing up as "open with Archive Manager" and it won't just execute (the permissions give execute to everyone) [06:52] yeah html5 problem [06:52] boblamont: that's something related to windows and the software, try asking in ##windows or the software's support [06:52] so browser problem [06:52] I assume it's a Lubuntu/Ubuntu related problem because all the hits for "exe" "Archive Manager" come up as Ubuntu Wine related (and I do have Wine installed) === l9_ is now known as l9 [06:52] supremum: Does the animation play here? http://get.adobe.com/se/flashplayer/about/ [06:53] boblamont: not really [06:53] supremum: Sometimes if there's an issue with audio, the browser will halt video playback.

[07:03] boblamont: try to checksum that sucker, it should have a checksum for important stuff like easybcd [07:03] thanks. [07:24] hi, is there a way for me to see how much of a disks I/O capacity is being used? [07:25] thewillo: sudo apt-get install iotop [07:25] thanks EriC^^ [07:25] no problem [07:25] wish htop did it all [07:26] needs network monitoring and disk i/o [07:26] someone who isn't as lazy as me should make that happen [07:26] :D [07:26] Lol, I'm not actually lazy, I just have so much coding to do already [07:28] conky can do this as well [07:28] pretty handy [07:29] oh... conky [07:29] i forgot about that thing [07:31] http://i.imgur.com/RsrHHig.png === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:43] What does it mean when Zesty log in syslog: Gs automatically prevented from changing origin on system/package/ubuntu-zesty-main... for various packages? [07:45] Here's a snippet of the log file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24955005/ [07:46] Hey all. Do you know where I can find the live build configurations for building the offical ubuntu aarch64 image? [07:47] Ubuntu isn't really a recompile everything yourself distro [07:48] There is gentoo for that if you wanna stay busy for like a week compiling things [07:50] It seems it has something to do with automatic updates, since I can manually update the packages with "apt-get upgrade". I can't find anything on this "automatically prevented from changing origin" log entry [07:50] though [08:13] I'm trying to generate the Xorg.conf file on ubuntu server 16.04 over ssh. The error is no screens found. is there a way i can generate this file on a headless server. === Monthrect is now known as Piper-Off [08:39] I'm familiar with package building for arch — rather straight-forward with the PKGBUILDs. How do I build deb pkgs for deploying to private servers? (I want to make use of uninstallability the pkg. mgr. gives me.) [08:48] Links welcome, though I think I just found one that showcases simple package creation. [08:48] ij: you can build from source and use 'checkinstall' to create a .deb, instead of doing 'sudo make install' step. [08:49] glitsj16, Sounds bloody awesome! [08:49] Heck yeah! [08:49] ij: you'll need to install 'checkinstall', doesn't come pre-installed, but it's in the official repo's. Yes it's very handy and has good documentation [08:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall [09:17] hi [09:17] how many time takes a kickstart install ? [09:18] does anyone use it to install a huge number of client simultaneously? [09:48] Hi, I have some unwanted paths to a directory in my $PATH. How do I remove them? [09:48] I followed the first solution in google from stack exchange and it doesn't seem to work for me https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/108873/removing-a-directory-from-path [09:50] ramsub07: which is the wrong path? did you add it yourself? [09:50] I added it using bashrc file [09:50] linux [09:51] ramsub07: you can then remove it from there [09:51] the wrong path is /usr/local/cuda/bin and i want to correct it to /usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin [09:51] ramsub07: the default paths are in /etc/environment [09:52] i actually share an account on a server with one of my colleagues and I don't want to mess with paths. so I am trying to create a profile file for my own sake [10:05] Hello. Is it possible to switch to a new motherboard without reinstalling? [10:05] On ubuntu, yes! [10:05] Unless you compiled the kernel yourself with only the hardware support for your current pc [10:06] which you probably didn't [10:06] hi, I have two encrypted partitions (real partitions, no LVM!), and at boot I'm only asked for the password one time. Why? Is it because the password is the same? Is ubuntu set up to try the same password for the next partition, and ask for it only if it doesn't work? [10:07] xebra: Do both partitions get mapped to /dev/mapper/...? [10:08] vlt, I don't have it here, but I guess so. I remember checking with lsblk, and both partitions were listed as "crypt" type [10:09] xebra: That doesn't mean they are "opened". [10:10] vlt, but the partitions are for root and home, so they must have been opened when I checked, since I was logged in [10:10] I'll go and get it, let's see if I can investigate further, brb === Nilesh_ is now known as Nilesh === Nilesh is now known as Nilesh_ [10:17] how do I uninstall a package without removing everything that depends on it? [10:18] thewillo: You don't. [10:18] vlt: I need to, to fix something I broke [10:18] I messed up compiling binutils now I can't compile anything till i uninstall and reinstall it [10:19] thewillo: Sounds like you want to reinstall everything that depends on it afterwards. [10:19] How do you remove it without removing the dependencies? sudo dpkg -r --force-all [10:19] vlt, just tried fdisk -l, I have both partitions listed as /dev/mapper/sda_... [10:21] xebra: What does /etc/crypttab look like? [10:21] hi [10:21] I fixed it with removing the binary i installed, and using update-alternative --install to reconfigure the old one [10:23] I mean, I have a backup of the root partition i made with dd, I can restore it, but that takes longer than fixing it [10:25] also, sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends works apparently [10:27] vlt, sdaX_crypt UUID=... none luks,discard ...two lines, one for each partition. I have to say that I'm actually on Xubuntu, so maybe this behavior is something they have changed in the login manager or something. Can't find confirmation online though [10:27] I might try changing the password for one partition, and see if it is then asked two times [10:28] hello [10:28] i have a problem with recording audio in lubuntu 16.04 [10:29] it does not record anything via mic, this seems to be a general issue [10:29] i tried arecord test.wav [10:29] and the file is just silence. I also tried to reset alsamixer [10:31] i also tried pavucontrol [10:36] hey #ubuntu, really newb here, trying to launch my first ubuntu server and I think it is a good way to access it remotely with vnc. However, I am using DigitalOcean vps and I am getting a strange error on the very last step http://paste.ubuntu.com/24955689/ could anybody check? [10:36] Tadassssss: you should use ssh [10:36] vnc is not secure and there's really no point in using a server graphically [10:37] Ben64, but I want to run bots on this vps and graphically seeing what they are doing would be very beneficial for me [10:37] and easy to access files too [10:37] it is very difficult with all these commands as this is the first time I'm on ubuntu [10:38] well that's the best way to do it, time to learn [10:38] Ben64, so you do not recommend a vnc? what would be another way of accessing and editing files? [10:38] ssh [10:47] <[worksti]> i would care to start a shell script on my ubuntu lts 16, but all i have is access to the file system. is there a place i could copy a shell script where ubuntu will execute it as soon as possible ? [10:47] <[worksti]> i know i could make a cronjob that runs every 60 seconds but i thought maybe something like that already exists [10:48] you can place it anywhere you have permission to create files, and then use "chmod a+x
