slystoneHi guys! I have to use Whatsapp for a join interview (I suppose they want to use a chat video on pc). What would you recommend under Ubuntu please?00:09
slystone*job interview00:09
slystoneI have seen web.whatsapp.com, but it does not seem practical, it asks to scan a QR code with a phone. If the person uses Windows on PC or Mac, I'm f*****.00:11
twoj_>> caused enp2s0f1 to try and pull an address ;   so any permanent solution?  Or just kill the processes?00:11
blkadderWell your interfaces config looks correct so that should do it.00:12
Posterkilling the processes should do it00:12
Postergiven the absence of all the other parameters specified when brought up via system scripts it's very likely you launched them manually00:13

nostalgiccloudoh, hey blkadder00:20
nostalgiccloudsince you wanted to input earlier, want to help now?00:20
nostalgiccloudmacvlan is not working with LXC on ubuntu server 16.0400:21
blkaddernostalgiccloud, Not really.00:21
blkadderI've never used either. :-)00:21
blkadderI could probably figure it out.00:21
nostalgiccloudhue00:21
blkaddernostalgiccloud, Which mode are you using for macvlan?00:23
nostalgiccloudwhat do you mean?00:24
blkadderWhich of the 4 networking modes are you using?00:24
nostalgiccloud"    nictype: macvlan00:24
nostalgiccloud    parent: eth000:24
nostalgiccloud    type: nic00:24
nostalgiccloud"00:24
blkadderPrivate, VEPA, Bridge, or Passthru00:25
nostalgiccloudNo idea.00:25
nostalgiccloudNothing I could find says I have to specify anything past macvlan00:25
naccnostalgiccloud: are you using LXC or LXD?00:25
nostalgiccloudnacc, that's where the lines get blurred.00:26
naccnostalgiccloud: how are you invoking your container?00:26
nostalgiccloudlxc00:26
nacc*starting00:26
naccnostalgiccloud: `lxc-start` or `lxc start` (hyphen or space)00:26
nostalgiccloudlxc start00:26
naccnostalgiccloud: ok, that's LXD00:26
naccnostalgiccloud: note also, there is a LXC/LXD specific channel, #lxcontainers00:27
naccnostalgiccloud: what is the error you are getting?00:27
nostalgiccloudno error, that's the issue00:28
nostalgiccloudThe container has no network access00:28

twoj_<Poster>  Thanks for help!  I'll keep eye out and see how it goes.00:32
nostalgiccloudnacc, welcome to my world of pain00:33
twoj_one more question....   Anybody have a good idea how to reset a 'frozen' session?  I'm running TeamViewer to one account/desktop and that session is frozen, where I get X for cursor00:33
naccnostalgiccloud: ok, so eth0 is your host nic, do you have a dhcp server on the network eth0 is connected to?00:34
twoj_However in second session I can log in via RSH and get console00:34
twoj_I tried to reset the TeamViewer daemon, but the unity desktop is still frozen00:35
nostalgiccloudnacc, not that I'd know of.00:35
nostalgiccloudnacc, let me guess, copy /etc/network/interfaces to the container?00:35
naccnostalgiccloud: then i'm not sure how you expect to get an IP in the container?00:36
naccnostalgiccloud: macvlan puts your guest on the host's network00:36
naccnostalgiccloud: they won't magically get an IP unless something gives them one (or, as you say, /e/n/i is configured for static networking)00:36
naccnostalgiccloud: tbh, if you are just trying to get up to speed on lxd, doing macvlan makes it more difficult. Taking the default bridge is a better (easier) way to learn and the containers will have network by default.00:37
nostalgiccloudnacc, that is the biggest brainfart I've ever had00:37
nostalgiccloudI will just use bridged.00:37
naccnostalgiccloud: i think that should just be a matter of `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lxd` and letting it setup the bridged newtork00:37
nacc*network00:37
blkadderLOL00:38
naccnostalgiccloud: you may have already read this, but stgraber's blog is a good resource: https://stgraber.org/2016/10/27/network-management-with-lxd-2-3/00:38
naccthat article is a bit old, but there are more current ones00:38
blkadderDocs on macvlan are thin and most appear to be very docker-centric00:38
naccblkadder: yeah, i think that was primary driving case (density of network traffic on a single system with 100s/1000s of containers)00:39
nostalgiccloudI had very little sleep last night00:39
blkaddernacc,  I see the use case for it, just wish it had more robust docs. :-)00:40
nostalgiccloudnacc, so excuse my brainfasts00:40
nostalgiccloudfarts00:40
blkadderBecause all of this network fiddling gets very complicated very fast.00:40
nostalgiccloudnacc, So correct me if I am wrong, I would use two bridged networks for my goal00:41
nostalgiccloudOne has internet access, the other just holds my containers that don't need direct access00:41
blkadderIf you create two networks (public and private) then you need to gateway the private to the public if it needs internet access.00:45
wrkrcoopanyone know where docker stores images in ubuntu?00:46
nostalgiccloudnacc, Here is a interesting one00:47
nostalgiccloudMy container has a ip, a ipv6 ip but no ipv400:47
nostalgiccloudFixed it00:50
nostalgiccloudnacc, ty for your time helping me00:50

anomalyfoxHello01:01
anomalyfoxWhat are you up to? :p01:02
nostalgiccloudnacc, So now I need to assign it a static IP internally01:02
nostalgiccloudnacc, what is an appropriate method to backup containers01:07
naccnostalgiccloud: static ip internally? if you are using the default lxdbr0, there is a dnsmasq you can config01:18
naccnostalgiccloud: see that blog post01:18
nostalgiccloudthe one I linked?01:18
naccnostalgiccloud: backing up containers is sort of the opposite of the point :)01:18
naccnostalgiccloud: https://stgraber.org/2016/10/27/network-management-with-lxd-2-3/01:19
nostalgiccloudnacc, containers with LXC are like Docker and disconnect the idea of the data and the container right?01:19
naccnostalgiccloud: do you mean like data volumes in docker? im not sure im familar enough with docker to answer01:21
naccdocker and lxd containers are only similar in that they are both containers01:21
naccdocker is a process container01:21
nacclxd is a system container01:21
naccnostalgiccloud: its getting late for me (eod). #lxcontainers is probably the best place to keep asking your questions01:22

hackvanaHi.  I'm running 14.04 and I'm a Ubuntu newbie but and old hand with Linux.  Once upon a time, a run level of 3 in /etc/inittab would start a Linux box and give you text consoles, and a run level of 5 would start X.  In 14.04, how can I stop X starting on boot (ie, the equivalent of setting runlevel to 3)?01:26
nacchackvana: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto#How_do_I_change_the_runlevel.3F01:27
hackvanaIs it still done with runlevels?  Isn't it some kind of service that I can disable?01:28
hackvana(I'll go read the link)01:29
naccnostalgiccloud: yw the above is my opinion, to be clear (docker v. lxd). But basically you backup containers in lxd like you'd back up VMs in other envs, imo. But I'm not sure if that exactly answers your qquestion, or what is considered state of the art01:29
naccnostalgiccloud: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/blob/master/doc/backup.md01:29
naccnostalgiccloud: this may also give you some ideas: https://github.com/lxc/lxd/issues/130401:30
hackvanaOn my system, env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=2 (not 5).  How is X starting?01:31
hackvana(That link seems to be about runlevels, not about how service such as X are started.  Which upstart service is responsible for starting X?)01:31
nacchackvana: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/243195 ?01:33
nacchackvana: or boot into text mode? https://askubuntu.com/questions/16371/how-do-i-disable-x-at-boot-time-so-that-the-system-boots-in-text-mode01:34
hackvanaThanbks01:34
nacchackvana: well, yhour analogy for runlevels is a sysv concept. they don't really mean anyting anymore (with upstart and systemd, which ave replaced sysv-init on ubuntu)01:34
hackvanaI understand that.01:35
hackvana(Hence "once upon a time" and "Is it still done with runlevels?  Isn't it some kind of service that I can disable?")01:36
hackvanaNow to work out how to add "text" to the kernel cmdline.  (The device is not a PC, and doesn't use grub)01:36
kubuntedSurprises never end. Why has Kubuntu's preinstalled Firefox stopped providing URL suggestions for the previously visited sites...all of a sudden?01:37
kubuntedwhy all of a sudden I have to type in full site address whereas before it was giving suggestions ? Explain the never ending bizzaro surprises.01:37
akikhackvana: the upstart services are defined in /etc/init01:38
akikhackvana: you can disable an upstart service by creating a "service.override" with content "manual"01:39
hackvanaThanks01:39
hackvanaIs there a service associated with starting X?01:39
akikhackvana: it's probably lightdm01:39
akikhackvana: something *dm01:40
hackvanaThere's a /etc/init/lightdm.conf.  If I do this, will it stop lightdm from running?  echo manual > /etc/init/lightdm.override01:41
akikhackvana: yes01:42
hackvanaThanks!01:43
vimar_Hiu01:43
akikhackvana: what boot loader do you have?01:43
hackvanau-boot it seems (Odroid U3).01:44
hackvanaThe poor device only has 2G of RAM, and I want to run Xvnc, so not starting X-using-the-gfx-chip on boot will save heaps of RAM.01:45

* hackvana is mindful of "unofficial derivatives: use your distro's support channel, not here", so I'm not going to ask odroid-specific questions here01:46
JungleFevercan someone help me extend a partition? the drive already has 4 and it's the 1st so how can i do this without deleting the files ? :(01:47
akikJungleFever: shrinking and enlarging partitions is pretty slow01:50
JungleFeverproblem is i can't do either because there are 4 partitions already01:50
JungleFeverand i don't know how to edit the linux.img i downloaded01:51
akikJungleFever: what do you mean 4?01:51
akikJungleFever: the limit is 4 primary partitions but you can have more if you create an extended partition as the fourth01:51
JungleFeverbut i am recovering from a linux.img01:52
akikJungleFever: then you can have logical partitions under the extended partition01:52
JungleFeverso it's not me creating the partitions01:52
akikJungleFever: what is linux.img?01:52
JungleFeverhttp://i.imgur.com/R8GbnM7.png01:52
JungleFeverit's the image I'm recovering from, but i need to make the primary partition bigger01:53
JungleFeverbut i dont know how to edit the linux.img i downloaded, and when i write the .img to usb i am left with all that lost space01:53
akikJungleFever: there's almost no data in sdb401:54
akikJungleFever: save the data somewhere else and create an extended partition in its place01:54
JungleFeverok let me give that a try01:56

JungleFeveri deleted the fat32 partition02:13
akikJungleFever: you need to move the partitions. you can not resize partition 1 if there's no space behind it02:14
JungleFeverok let me try this02:15
JungleFeveri created a copy of partitioon 102:15
JungleFeverand made it partition 402:15

akikJungleFever: i'm not following your thinking :)02:16
JungleFeverit has boot flag on the partition02:16
JungleFeverso does it matter which # the partition is?02:16
akikJungleFever: if you want to resize partition 1, you need to move partitions 2 and 3 so that 1 can grow02:16

brimestonehey guys, I'm running ubuntu server 16.04 LTS and I'm having a bit of an issue with GoDaddy SSL certiticate02:20

JungleFeverJordan_U:  the website I bought it from :P02:20
bumblefuzzI'd even take 60hz02:20
bumblefuzzanything but 2402:20
bumblefuzzno idea why ubuntu won't give me any other option02:21
Jordan_UJungleFever: Why did you buy an image file, and what website would that be?02:21
JungleFevergetpimp.org02:21
JungleFeverdoesn't really matter the file, why i bought it, or the website though. my problem remains the same02:21
JungleFevergparted just crashed me on me too with a libparted error :( :((((02:21
akikJungleFever: ok so it has nothing to do with ubuntu02:22
JungleFeveryeah im on ubuntu right now :D akik02:22
JungleFeverim trying to do this on ubuntu02:22
JungleFeverbut the linux.img i am burning is not ubuntu02:22
JungleFeverhrmmm akik  better question... is there way to edit the .img contents and how it formats a disk?02:27
Jordan_UJungleFever: The ".img" file just contains exactly the bytes that the disk should contain, and the tools that write the image to the disk simply copy the contents from the file to the disk.02:30
Jordan_UJungleFever: Have you tried booting from and using the resulting disk to confirm that you need to do anything at all?02:31
JungleFeverI can not upgrade the kernel with the size it's partitioning to02:31
JungleFeverwhich is why i need to expand that partition02:31
JungleFeveri couldn't get all my packages installed02:31
JungleFeverjust 2.5gb is a hot mess and 25gb free space just sitting there02:32
Jordan_UJungleFever: OK. What happens when you use GParted to move sdb4 to the end of the drive?02:32
JungleFeverwell i copied part1 and made it part4, deleted part1 and tried to apply02:33
JungleFevergot some libparted errors during writing and i had to stop02:33
JungleFevernow i'm re-imaging the USB drive to try gparted again02:33
JungleFever:(02:33
JungleFever12minute wait, try again, problem, boom, rinse repeat and hours go by me trying to fix small problem for noob :((((02:33
Jordan_UJungleFever: Copying part1 and making it part4 doesn't make sense . Move sdb4 to the end of the drive so that there is no (or 1 MiB or some other small value) free space after it. Then move sdb3 to be just before sdb4, again no free space following it. Then do the same for sdb2. Then resize sdb1.02:36
JungleFeverill have to look at gparted again02:37
JungleFeveri couldn't really do it the way you said or i missed an option02:37
Jordan_UJungleFever: If all of that happens without GParted giving you any errors, then you've recieved as much help as we can give you here and you'll have to hope that it still boots. If it doesn't still boot, you'll have to ask pimp's support. If you do that exactly as I said and GParted gives you errors, then I would suspect that your drive is failing (hardware problem).02:37
lefyqqqqhi, quick help anyone? i'm trying to write an .img file (raspbian) to a micro SD card, and startup disk creator, unetbootin, and dd are all not working02:38
Jordan_UJungleFever: Note that there was no deleting or renumbering or copying involved in my insructions (though GParted will do some of those things in the background for you to achieve the result of moving partitions).02:39
Jordan_Ulefyqqqq: What dd command did you use? What problem did you have? If there was an error message, please pastebin the exact and complete output.02:40
lefyqqqqJordan_U: thanks! I will get that to you right now02:41
lefyqqqqJordan_U: sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/user/Desktop/raspi/raspi0.img of=/dev/sdb1 && sync02:41
nostalgiccloudSo I know ZFS is supported on Ubuntu for data storage02:41
nostalgiccloudI was wondering, is there any downside to using a file based VDEV02:42
nostalgiccloudI have LVM setup for my disks in RAID102:42

emsidmy sound has disappeared on 17.04 in vm. sound settings shows volume turned to 0%, and nothing is listed in output tab, and test sound button doesnt work02:43
emsidcan anyone help me? thank you02:43
Jordan_Ulefyqqqq: First, make sure that no partitions on sdb are mounted currently "mount | grep sdb". If any are, unmount them before continuing. Then, use of=/dev/sdb, not of=/dev/sdb1 . You need to write the image to the whole drive, not to one partition. Also, remember that dd is nicknamed "Disk Destroyer" for a reason. Make absolutely sure that /dev/sdb is actually the drive whose contents you want to02:45
Jordan_Ucompletely overwrite with this image, losing all existing data on the drive.02:45
lefyqqqqJordan_U: thanks! so, I tried sdb as well and also received the "read only file system" error. i unmounted using gui but will try the command too. i don't mind messing with this micro SD, it was $8 only ^.^02:47
lefyqqqqJordan_U: i'm thinking maybe the San Disk micro sd to USB adapter i'm using might be "write protected"????02:47
qisCan you recommend a list of settings useful for ubuntu server/development machines? Did I miss something important? https://github.com/qis/test/blob/master/ubuntu.md02:47
hanasakihow do I check out the bluetooth usb adapter ?02:47
Jordan_Ulefyqqqq: I don't think that the adaptor is write protected, but the write protect switch on the SD card might be flipped.02:48
Jordan_Ulefyqqqq: I'm not worried about your $8 SD card either, I'm worried that you'll accidentally wipe your internal hard drive instead.02:49
lefyqqqqJordan_U: thank you also for thinking of my poor little HDD, but fortunately this is a clean install of lubuntu ^.^ i don't even care if it bricks it hahaha. a good problem to have02:50
lefyqqqqJordan_U: how can I find where to turn off write protect?02:50
lefyqqqqJordan_U: oh god is it a physical tab on with a lock painted on it on the side of my sd card adapter??02:53
lefyqqqqJordan_U: problem solved.... the write protect switch was physically switched on02:56
lefyqqqqJordan_U: thank you so much :)02:56

kubuntedJordan_U: the last output is very long...still working03:11
Jordan_Ukubunted: It looks like you're running Ubuntu 16.10 rather than 17.04, which is the latest, but that's not a problem.03:12
kubuntedJordan_U: it's Kubuntu, maybe why?03:13
kubuntedI forgot the number just grabbed what was the latest03:13
Jordan_Ukubunted: No. Kubuntu is released at the exact same time as Ubuntu (they share the same repositories as they're just different flavors).03:13
kubuntedJordan_U: so what abot the evil dns fix? is it available?03:14
Jordan_Ukubunted: It presumably will be once "sudo apt update" has completed.03:15
kubuntedJordan_U: ok, thanx03:16
Jordan_Ukubunted: Though it looks like there are already updates available that haven't been installed. To check for new updates you can use "sudo apt update". To then install any new updates you can use "sudo apt upgrade".03:16

EleanorEllisWould LXDE be a lighter weight faster environment than XFCE? I am running Ubuntu Studio on an old laptop with only 8GB of RAM and it slows down a lot. I am wondering if I could improve things by changing to LXDE. I do some video and audio editing and processing plus recording and photograph editing, plus desktop publishing03:18
kubuntedthe whole design where init is affected by DNS is bizzare...why reinvent the wheel? If it ain't broken they'll fix till it is03:19
Jordan_UEleanorEllis: With 8GB of RAM I would expect that any slowdown is related to your apps using too much RAM, not your DE. Unless a bug is causing your DE to use much more resources than it should, its usage should basically be a drop in the bucket compared to video editing.03:20
JungleFeverdo i ignore operation at boot warnings?03:21

Jordan_UJungleFever: "Input/outpurt error during read on /dev/sdb" would imply a hardware failure. Check the drive's S.M.A.R.T. status. Check your cables. check dmesg.05:13

swenssonIs it possible to make pure-ftpd "access" the ~/ (the whole system)?06:22
Ben64~/ isn't the whole system06:22
Ben64and you should really consider using sftp instead06:22
_ccftpd usually has a configuration option for setting the root directory, if it's set to / you could potentially access most if not all of the system06:24
_cchowever I think it's very unwise setup06:25
swenssonWell I need one sysadmin account :P06:25
_ccIsn't ssh access better in every aspect?06:26
Ben64yes06:26
swenssonYeah it's true, but this user can't use ssh, only ftp. And he needs to be able to control every file06:27
Ben64so give them sftp access06:27
Ben64it's so much better than ftp06:27
swenssonit's ftps06:27
Ben64still bad06:27
_ccjust curious, why can't he use ssh?06:29
swenssonLocked down windows machine, can't install anything, only use the existing "apps" and filezilla is installed ;P And it's virtual users so it's not possible to give the account ssh access06:30
Ben64filezilla can use sftp06:31
swenssonIm using ftps06:32
Ben64again, that's not a good choice06:32
swenssonIt's ftp explicit TLS06:32
swenssonIsn't that good? :O06:32
Ben64once more, no06:32
swenssonWhat would be a better option for a secure ftp then? :O06:33
Ben64sftp06:33
swenssonWeird, I got a requirment that it had to be FTPS :S...06:34
wedgiefrom whom? do they understand the difference or were they pulling words out of their hat?06:38
Flannelswensson: filezilla can do ftps06:38
swenssonFlannel I know, that's what I'm doing06:39
Flannelswensson: and, as awful as it is, you /can/ configure access to the entire system via ftp06:39
SchrodingersScatfilezilla can also do sftp06:40
swenssonwell right now Im trying to give a user specific access with setfacl -m g:Guests:wx /home/test/Uploads ... But it needs to be g:Guest:rwx and I don't want to give read access:O06:41
FlannelYou want to give write access but not read access?06:41
Ben64you know what makes permissions much easier? using ssh...06:41
swenssonYeah, he should only be able to upload, not view anything06:41
FlannelBen64: give it up.  That has nothing to do with permissions issues anyway.06:41
Ben64ftp is crap though06:42
FlannelBen64: That's a nice opinion, but not relevant at all.06:42
Ben64kind of is06:42
FlannelBen64: When helping, be helpful.  You're free to just stop talking.06:42
Ben64i will, thanks.06:43
SchrodingersScatFlannel: that's common, wanting a upload portal that doesn't leak other people's contributions.  Nextcloud can do this now :D06:45
_ccswensson: also you should remove "list" permission from the said user06:48
_cche could still list the files even if he can't *read* them06:48

Seveascornel: the proper way would be to upgrade to xenial :)09:17
cornelSeveas, thank you09:18
cornelbut this can not be easily done09:18
corneli thought maybe it's on backports or some ppa ....09:18
Seveasthe slightly less proper way would be to grab the rdesktop source package from xenial and rebuild on trusty, then install the result09:18
Seveasand really, that's only slightly less proper. Perfectly acceptable, as long as you keep an eye on security updates09:19
cornelthank you Seveas09:20
cornelis there something like apt-get upgrade rdesktop --releasever=16.04 ?09:24

thewilloJust because it says ubuntu doesn't mean it is ubuntu11:16
thewilloit means the mint people don't know enough to change the name in their packages when they build them11:16
tomreynExterminador: do you mean the one currently assigned or the one before that?11:16
ExterminadorI have a /64 block available to me. but I need to assign them and I have no idea how to or how to retrieve the ones that are assigned to the machine11:17

tomreynip -6 a11:18
tomreynthat'll list assigned ipv6 addresses / address ranges11:19
tomreynthe one starting fe80 is the ipv6 equivalent to 127.0.0.1 (loopback address), you are probably looking for a different one.11:19
Exterminadoryeah.. I have only one assigned. I need to assign more.11:20
tomreynyou could use network manager /GUI) or its CLI to do so. or do it the classic way and edit /etc/network/interfaces11:21
tomreynor just dhcp if your router supports it.11:21
Exterminadortomreyn: it's a vps, I'm already googling to see how to add more ips to eth011:22
thewilloOn my vps provider I can add new ips as another virtual lan adapter11:24
thewilloLike, you get 1 ip free, plus you can have 1 floating ip for free(and IP you can reassign to any of your other VPS's11:24
thewilloone floating for free per vps, you have to pay for the ip if it's not attached to discourage ip hoarding11:25

ryzokukenoh, okay.13:42
ryzokukenI never really liked Unity.13:42
fallentreeI use Ubuntu precisely because of Unity :)13:43
ryzokuken:)13:43
ryzokukenI'm sad for you then.13:44
fallentreeryzokuken: yeah. it's sad.13:44
glitsj16azizLIGHT: Are you using PulseAudio? If so, try 'systemctl --user restart pulseaudio' .. although that doesn't explain why your audio device drops out of sight in the first place.. what ubuntu version are you seeing this on?13:45
ryzokukenhttps://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/libgtk-3-013:47
ryzokukengtk 3.18 vs 3.2213:47

simsohi again, isntalled ubuntu, can now someone help me enable amd radeon driiver plz ?13:49
ducassesimso: you shouldn't need to, it should be loaded automagically13:49
simsoducasse not its not loaded13:49
SimonNLhuh13:50
ducassesimso: is any other driver loaded for that gpu?13:50
simsoin driver manager i dont have no options for amd drivers, hp dual graphics13:50
ryzokukenfallentree: firefox 54 is in xenial too13:51
ducassesimso: because there is only radeon for your gpu, i'd imagine13:51
ryzokukenthe diff in packages is next to none.13:51
ryzokukenhow stable-er is LTS in comparison? very?13:51
simsoducasse , i ask for patience plz, can we check which driver is loaded now ? i suppose is intel, but i need the radeon one13:52
simsoi forgot the commands13:52
ducassesimso: see what 'lspci -k' says13:52
simsoducasse can i post here the output ?13:53
ducassesimso: pastebin it13:53
simsoducasse https://pastebin.com/awUDwjh513:54
fallentreeryzokuken: frankly, once the non-LTS stabilizes, they're pretty much the same. the problem is with non-lts releases bringing new major software versions which means breakage for a period of time before it's stabilized.13:55
fallentreebut by the time that happens, the new non-lts is out and the old deprecated :)13:55
ducassesimso: radeon is loaded for the amd gpu, i915 for the intel13:56
glitsj16azizLIGHT: so this is happening frequently? It might be vmware related, that ships audio to your host OS no?13:56
simsoducasse, can u remember me of the command to see of which card is loaded, initggx ?13:56
azizLIGHTglitsj16: its possible. perhaps ubuntu 17.04 isnt supported by vmware workstation 11. im running it on a ubuntu 14.04 x64 host13:57
glitsj16azizLIGHT: can't confirm that, never really used a lot of VM's .. but it does come back after restarting pulseaudio? or haven't you tried that yet?13:59
ducassesimso: no clue how dual amd graphics are handled, i'd guess it's a bios setting14:00

curlyearsI can't find such a setting.  I don't know what a "cursor theme" is, though from context I can glean an approximation of what it means14:26
danielhumancurlyears: from my understanding (because i never did it myself) , a cursor theme is just something you install14:26
ducassecurlyears: certain cursor themes contain a selection of pixmaps in various sizes, but not all14:27

simsoTheGecko you can convert without mplayer, google : covert files under linux14:36
TheGeckocould be so, sadly enough I 'need' mplayer as it is the requirement of another piece of software that I'm using (whole platform for video conversion etc)14:37

adamdesignraub: Can he run an image on different hardware? My guess is that he could, but I don't know dd15:57
raubAnother good program/package IMHO to deploy images is clonezilla15:58
raubadamdesign: dd is how I usually create bootable usbs from isos. I think the bottom line is ensuring it boots. Linux is not windows; you should not need to do something like sysprep.16:00

Richard_CavellIs there any discussion on whether putting Ubuntu in a VM is the *preferred* method of installing it?16:50
mguyfind /directory_path -mtime -1 -ls16:52
naccRichard_Cavell: i assume you mean Ubuntu Server, and if so, then that discussion probably belongs in #ubuntu-server.16:55
Richard_CavellNope.16:55
Richard_CavellI'm talking about hardware compatibility16:55
naccRichard_Cavell: then I don't understand. "the preferred way" of installing Ubuntu desktop is on a desktop system.16:56
ducasseRichard_Cavell: that depends entirely on what you want16:56
Richard_CavellI am running Ubuntu on the metal, and the compatibility is less than perfect, and obviously a lot less than Windows16:56
naccRichard_Cavell: did you do much research ahead of time16:56
naccRichard_Cavell: and what do you mean, specifically, by compatibility?16:56
Richard_Cavellnacc: Well, here's what I'm thinking: There can be little doubt that Ubuntu developers will make sure that Ubuntu works perfectly with the virtual hardware presented to it by all the major virtualization software.  So I can guarantee compatibility, as long as I run it in a VM.16:58
naccRichard_Cavell: ... what would be the host for the VM?16:59
naccRichard_Cavell: "all the major virtualization software" is such a broad strokes generalization that it means nothing16:59
Richard_CavellWhatever my computer came with.  Probably Windows, or maybe MacOS16:59
naccRichard_Cavell: they don't all present the 'same' hardware16:59
thewilloI just manually installed ubuntu with chroot, and the package manager16:59
naccRichard_Cavell: so then you would need Ubuntu to be able to be compatible with Windows software or MacOS software16:59
naccRichard_Cavell: which is arguably even less likely than being compatible with actual hardware17:00
naccRichard_Cavell: you still haven't said what specific issues you are hitting17:00
naccRichard_Cavell: so right now I'm filing this under FUD17:00
Richard_CavellWell so far I have this strange bug where, while running Ubuntu, my screen turns black and the entire computer becomes unresponsive, but it produces a lot of heat as though the CPU is working hard17:01
naccRichard_Cavell: what graphics card?17:02
adamdesignRichard_Cavell: Does this happen when performing any specific task, or on startup? When does it happen?17:03
Richard_Cavellnacc: I have an Imac5,1 with a Radeon Mobility X160017:03
Richard_Cavelladamdesign: Usually it's when I've been idle for ages.  I leave HexChat running and probably Chrome/Terminal as well.17:04
naccRichard_Cavell: mac hardware is notoriously fickle. It's meant to only run MacOS (ime), so everything else requires some amount of rev. engineering by somoene and its easy to get wrong.17:05
naccRichard_Cavell: have you seen if others experience the same issue with your same chipset(s)?17:05
Richard_Cavellnacc: It's very difficult to get Ubuntu to run at all on this computer, so there aren't many people out there17:06
Richard_Cavellnacc: See here https://mattgadient.com/2016/07/11/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/17:06
naccRichard_Cavell: i mean, it's sort of a corner case. You are trying to get something not-of-the-brand to run on *branded* hardware17:06
naccRichard_Cavell: i don't think that's entirely ubuntu's fault.17:07
naccRichard_Cavell: apple doesn't want you to run anything else on it either (imo)17:07
nemoRichard_Cavell: have you verified graphics accel is actually working?17:07
nemobut hm. just hexchat, chrome and a terminal. that seems odd17:07
naccRichard_Cavell: for your specific case, it might be easier to keep macos as the host and run ubuntu in a VM, sure17:07
Richard_Cavellnemo: Yes, I think it is.  But can you clarify how I'd know?17:07
nemoRichard_Cavell: well. check glxinfo17:07
nemoRichard_Cavell: and verify glxgears is running at a nice blazing fast rate17:08
nemoRichard_Cavell: if you're not using graphics acceleration and it is doing CPU emulation that could be bad17:08
nemoRichard_Cavell: The default Ubuntu window manager is almost unusable in my VMs for that reason which drives me bonkers - esp the like 10 minutes it takes me to slooowly open a terminal window to install MATE17:08
Richard_CavellI get 60 frames per second but there's an error http://ideone.com/4ayj0117:08
nemowoah. interesting17:09
nemoRichard_Cavell: oh. I almost forgot17:09
nemoRichard_Cavell: __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 vblank_mode=0 glxgears17:09
nemoadd those flags ☺17:09
nemo2nd one is probably the one that matters most17:09
nemoRichard_Cavell: also.. glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"17:10
nemoRichard_Cavell: hm https://askubuntu.com/questions/260618/ati-radeon-mobility-x1600-drivers-installation  says FOSS only - not too suprising. fglrx has become increasingly unusable17:11
Richard_Cavellnemo glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" gives me "yes"17:11
nemogood good17:11
nemoglxgears doing a decent frame rate w/o vsync?17:11
Richard_CavellCould you clarify what the command line should be to get those flags in?17:12
nemo__GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 vblank_mode=0 glxgears17:12
nemojust run that17:12
nemopaste it into terminal17:12
nemoRichard_Cavell: also would be interesting to see what your X log looks like17:13
nemoRichard_Cavell: Xorg log and dmesg would be good places to look for clues17:13
Richard_Cavellnemo: Oh wow with that new command line I get 960 fps17:13
nemoRichard_Cavell: 960 is... usable 😝17:14
nemoI have an old 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK104 [GeForce GTX 760] (rev a1)17:14
Richard_CavellShould I worry about the error message that I'm getting?17:14
xanguahttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/okFVDjLp17:15
nemoRichard_Cavell: dunno. looking into it. it does seem worrying17:15
nemoRichard_Cavell: was why I wanted the X log17:15
nemoRichard_Cavell: anyway. w/ my old GeForce above, I get 1000fps with the FOSS driver and 2000fps with the closed source - so about in line with you17:16
xanguaSo I was trying this external HD, but it won't mount or even show (Ubuntu 16.04)17:16
nemoxangua: check dmesg17:16
nemoxangua: bet it isn't formatted17:16
nemoxangua: or formatted for a mac or something17:16
Speed_i think my phone disconnecte17:16
Speed_d17:16
nemoxangua: might want to fire up gnome-disks or gparted to set up the drive17:17
Speed_i am booted on my ubuntu USB how do i get into recovry mode so i can know why my ubuntu wont boot?17:17
xanguanemo: doesn't show up there either17:17
nemoxangua: doesn't show up in dmesg or gnome-disks?17:18
nemoSpeed_: so... you're currently booted from USB and you want to know how to access recovery mode from your main grub menu?17:18
xanguanemo: gnome disk, it's showed in dmesg, it mentions an error17:18
nemook17:18
Speed_yes17:19
nemoSpeed_: IMO you'd be better off doing recovery from the USB - that is, reinstalling grub and/or running fsck17:19
nemoSpeed_: it's much friendlier a recovery env17:19
Speed_i think my grub broke again17:19
Speed_how do i do that?17:20
nemoSpeed_: ok. there should be instructions on the ubuntu wiki for mounting your drive and setting up grub again17:20
nemoSpeed_: lemme dig 'em up17:20
adamdesignI think nemo deserves the gold star for managing to help three people at the same time.17:20
xanguahttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/4FCXL64L17:20
nemoSpeed_: it's pretty straightforward stuff and things linux folks are all too familiar w/17:20
Richard_Cavellnemo: Okay, well I think I'll leave it as "possibly slightly borked"17:20
nemoSpeed_: ubuntu has a friendlier smart grub detection tho17:20
nemoRichard_Cavell: I'd keep an eye on what is using the CPU17:20
nemoRichard_Cavell: my inclination is to blame chrome 😉17:20
nemoRichard_Cavell: a CPU monitoring tool could tell you more.  you might want to try an unaccelerated desktop like XFCE4 or MATE too17:21
Richard_CavellI'm using MATE!17:21
nemoRichard_Cavell: I don't know much about chrome, but Firefox about:support tells you whether it is using the GPU or not17:21
thewilloMATH!!!!17:21
thewilloYou heathen17:21
thewillo*MATE17:21
nemoRichard_Cavell: you are! ok. well that's good 'cause you can try accelerated vs non17:21
nemoRichard_Cavell: see if accelerated works better than unaccelerated17:21
nemoor vice versa17:21
nemoRichard_Cavell: if you think your CPU is working too hard would bce nice to find the culprit - would still like to see your Xorg and dmesg logs17:22
nemoxangua: what's the error in dmesg?17:22
nemoSpeed_: hm... I was unfamiliar with this one.  it looks even friendlier than the procedure I follow normally.17:23
nemoSpeed_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair17:23
Richard_Cavellnemo: What do I type at the command line to give them to you?17:23
nemoSpeed_: maybe try that on the USB first - it has a pretty gui17:23
nemoRichard_Cavell: dmesg > dmesg.txt17:23
nemoRichard_Cavell: then upload to the place of your choce17:23
nemo*choice17:23
xanguanemo: https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/4FCXL64L asking cache data failed, it's an adata17:23
nemoRichard_Cavell: the Xorg log is in /var/log/Xorg.0.log  - there might be an old one from the crash too - that would be even nicer to have17:24
nemoRichard_Cavell: that is /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old17:24
nemoxangua: oh wow17:24
nemothat's not good :/17:24
nemoxangua: if it's flat out some driver/disc controller problem there's not much I can think of to do17:25
xangua:-\17:25
nemoxangua: explains why it isn't showing up in gnome-disks17:25
xanguaIt's working on Windows tho17:25
nemoxangua: that implies driver then17:25
xanguaMaybe, I'll check what format is17:25
nemoxangua: we could google for the manufacturer to check for status of linux support17:25
nemoxangua: I mean the low level driver talking to the disc, not the format - if it was format we would see it in gnome-disks / gparted17:26
xanguaOoh17:26
nemoRichard_Cavell: BTW. when the screen goes black, can you still ssh into it, or at least ctrl-alt-f1?17:27
xanguanemo: I just open it in another Linux distro17:27
xanguaLive session17:27
nemoxangua: odd http://www.adata.com/us/specification/16817:28
nemoxangua: says linux support17:28
nemointeresting.17:28
Richard_Cavellnemo: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xmml2a0clivyx7p/AABgW70bAlS2-6qUTeGr4DJka?dl=017:28
nemoxangua: so. exact same port, exact same machine, different linux distro/kernel works fine...17:28
nemoxangua: file a bug I guess ☺17:28
Richard_Cavellnemo: I don't have any way of ssh'ing, but I'll try the Ctrl-Alt-F1 next time17:29
nemoRichard_Cavell: and definitely keep an eye out for suspicious CPU usage. that can kill laptops for sure. even ones w/ awesome aluminium heat dissipating frames17:29
nemoRichard_Cavell: Minecraft used to do that to my tower until I added water cooling17:29
nemoRichard_Cavell: your dmesg looks pretty boring.  Can I see one of the old ones from /var/log/dmesg* ?17:32
nemoRichard_Cavell: one from about time of your last hang17:32
nemoRichard_Cavell: your Xorg doesn't look interesting either ☹17:32
nemoRichard_Cavell: it's using radeon, so you're definitely accelerated - could check to see if there are any recent bugs reported against radeon for your card..17:33
Richard_Cavellnemo: There is one file called /var/log/dmesg that reads: (Nothing has been logged yet.)17:33
nemoRichard_Cavell: there should be dmesg.0 then some gzipped ones17:34
nemoRichard_Cavell: like dmesg.1.gz17:34
Richard_CavellNo.  There's syslog17:34
nemohuh...17:34
nemoweird17:34
nemodue to unclean shutdown?17:34
nemoRichard_Cavell: there's not even a dmesg.0 ?17:34

Speed_http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair-restore-reinstall-grub-2-with-a-ubuntu-live-cd17:35
Speed_should i follow this^17:35
nemoSpeed_: so... that's the traditional way to do it. should work fine.  I just thought this grub-repair gui I linked you to might be friendlier17:36
nemobut I've never used it while I *have* done the commandline version ☺17:36
nemoso up to you 😉17:36
untorehhello how do I enable ttys with systemd?17:40
Speed_i got to the grub-install /dev/sdb and it said grub-install error: canot find EFI directory17:40
untorehI am running this ubuntu container and was trying to boot it up, but it hangs after the utmp systemd service17:41
nemooh fun17:41
nemoSpeed_: EFI ☹17:41
Speed_?17:41
nemoSpeed_: so. this is kinda important. are you using EFI or not?17:41
Speed_yes, i think17:42
nemoSpeed_: if so, that's not a good error - the hope is you're just in legacy17:42
untorehI imagine it only needs to load the ttys after that, but I remember I decimated the agetty services when I configured it as a container17:42
nemoin which case you can just specify a new target17:42
ryzokukenhey all!17:43
Speed_?17:43
ryzokukenCould I somehow install software for zapus on xenial?17:43
ryzokukenI had this PPA which had a software for zapus but not for xenial17:43
DarkPsydeLordyes17:43
nemoSpeed_: the disc mounted fine right? no errors? hm. maybe should have run an fsck first17:43
ryzokukenjust installed LTS, have no plans to reinstall or upgrade17:43
ryzokukenDarkPsydeLord, how?17:43
DarkPsydeLordSOURCE!17:44
nemoSpeed_: here's some legacy instructions https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB#Master_Boot_Record_.28MBR.29_specific_instructions  arch folks are good at getting into the weeds17:44
ryzokukenDarkPsydeLord, sounds like too much work :P17:44
nemoSpeed_: just above it is the GPT stuff17:44
oerheks!uefi17:44
ubottuUEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI17:44
nemoSpeed_: oooh that looks like a good link. yeah. maybe look into that first17:45
nemoSpeed_: how'd you screw up your grub anyway? running disc repair in windows dual boot or something?17:45
DarkPsydeLordryzokuken, then modify the ppa link changing the name at the file17:45
Speed_i dont know what i did, i was running steam and playing some games then i rebooted17:45
Speed_\i was also using wine17:46
ryzokukenDarkPsydeLord, is that safe?17:46
nemoSpeed_: huh. none of that sounds in the least bit suspicious :/17:46
DarkPsydeLordryzokuken, NO! thats why i suggested source17:46
DarkPsydeLordryzokuken, but it works17:46
oerheksryzokuken, don't mix versions17:47
ryzokukenDarkPsydeLord, okay, I will try building from source.17:47
DarkPsydeLordryzokuken, just remember to use checkinstall instead of make install17:48
DarkPsydeLordso you create a package17:48
ryzokukenDarkPsydeLord, what if one of the dependencies is not available on xenial?17:48
ryzokukensassc, for instance.17:48
DarkPsydeLordryzokuken, you compile it also :)17:48
ryzokuken:)17:49
gronkehey guys, how do I run a find command on a CentOS system that will exclude the "Permission Denied" errors?17:53
DarkPsydeLordregex!17:54
DJonesgronke: You probably need to ask the centos support channel17:54
gronkeYou dont think the command would probably work similiary in either? I'm thinking something like find / "myfile" 2> "Permissiond Denied" or something17:55
ducassegronke: ask in #centos, this is #ubuntu17:55
gronkehow would the command work in ubuntu17:56
DJonesgronke: This channel only supports the official flavours of Ubuntu, we don't know what changes the centos devs have made17:56
ducassegronke: they are there to help you, we are here to help ubuntu users17:56
DJonesgronke: The same command on Ubuntu could trash your system, so you need toask the centos channel17:56
gronkeI'll take that as you don't know the command. Thanks!17:57

MeerkatI installed ubuntu gnome 17.04 and after install it boots up to a black screen with some lines of text and "OK" in green. It's a virtual machine.18:16
Meerkatknown bug?18:17
nemoSpeed_: it looks to me like boot repair is stuck 'cause you already mounted the disc follow the other instructions. maybe unmount it then rerun it18:19
nemoSpeed_: there's also some mildly worrying stuff in there about start of sectors, but...18:19
nemocould start with that at least18:20
jaydemirwhat's the difference between sudo apt install and sudo apt-get install?18:20
jaydemiraside from maybe one being more yellow than the other in font color18:20
nemoO_o18:21
nemothe first one is a thing??18:21
nemoTIL18:22
* nemo tries it18:22
thewillojaydemir, apt offers different options, and apt-get is more useful but apt is quicker to type and has progress bars18:22
nemohuh. neat.18:22
thewilloI rarely use apt18:23
thewillocan apt get sources and download debs and run simulated installs to tell you what would change?18:23
jaydemirI do like the progress bar18:23
thewilloyeah, I like being about to get source with 1 command, all dependencies with another, download the package to install manually with another18:24
thewilloapt vs apt-get... we could make this a huge issue but lets not18:24
Speed_boot repair says my hdd is nearly full and that could be why its not booting18:24
Speed_nemo: ^18:24
nemook. so that's never good18:25
Speed_its telling me to delete files or move them18:25
nemoSpeed_: and stuff like that is why once upon a time boot had dedicated partition for easier isolation/recovery - hell gpt does18:25
nemoSpeed_: maybe clean out your apt cache folder for starters18:25
Speed_where is that?18:25
nemostill mildly surprised it totally failed to boot tho unless you are like totally full18:26
nemoSpeed_: /var/cache/apt/archives18:26
Speed_i have 19 gb free space18:26
nemoWTF18:26
* nemo looks at that boot-repair log again18:26
Speed_?18:26
nemoaww. doesn't give space used ☹18:27
sadtacoI'm getting some error when I try to log into ubuntu before it goes back to the login screen. It flashes by too quick for me to read it.18:28
^7heohey guise18:28
Speed_delete everything int he archiove foilder?18:28
nemoSpeed_: oh. I wonder if it is looking at /dev/sda18:28
^7heoIs there a way on launchpad.net to access a source tarball for a given project/version (release)?18:28
^7heos/release/& or tag/18:28
Speed_my boot drive is sdb18:28
jaydemirone more quick question. Trying to play an internet radio station and Clementine is saying I'm missing a gstreamer plugin18:28
jaydemiranyone know which in particular theyd be talking about?18:28
Speed_the one im trying to fix18:28
nemoSpeed_: yeah. just wondering where boot-repair is getting that WTFism from18:29
nemoSpeed_: obv the CD would be 100% ☺18:29
nemo  /dev/sdb2 ext4 221G 204G 6.6G 97% /media/ubuntu/079445a2-4dc5-49b9-a4dc-d0904503f641  well... that's kinda full18:29
nemobut shouldn't stop booting18:29
adamdesignnemo: Ignorant question, but: Would a filled up /boot folder also be a problem? I had a problem like that.18:30
^7heonevermind, found it.18:30
nemoadamdesign: yeah, that has happened to me before too ☺18:30
nemoadamdesign: I'm reading the log he pastebinned - you could look it over too - seems he doesn't have a separate boot partition?18:30
nemobut maybe I'm misreading18:30
nemoadamdesign: sdb only has EFI, linux, swap - and efi has tons of room18:31
nemoadamdesign: linux doesn't have much, but still gigabytes left for boot18:31
adamdesignnemo: I could try, but I'm no expert18:31
nemoadamdesign: here's first log he posted https://paste2.org/9EA0zE3c18:31
jaydemirnevermind, this is a better question: is there a downside to just installing ALL the gstreamer plugins?18:31
nemoadamdesign: line 1160 has the recommended repair which sounds good. not sure why it didn't work - maybe he neglected sudo ☺18:31
Speed_i removed a coupple videos and treid the repair this is the report it generated after18:33
Speed_https://paste2.org/fhftDGKB18:33
DJonesSpeed_: Don't know if this is relevant but line 66 /dev/sda1 overlaps with /dev/sda218:35
Speed_it says i can reboot so im going to try that, ill be back if im still having troubble18:38
adamdesignDJones: Would these instructions help? http://gparted.org/h2-fix-msdos-pt.php#overlapping-partitions18:39
DJonesadamdesign: No idea, just noticed the error showing up in the pastebin18:40
DJonesadamdesign: I've never had partion errors, so wouldn't even like to suggest a repair method18:40
adamdesignSpeed_: Maybe overlapping partitions has something to do with it. GParted Live might be able to fix that: http://gparted.org/livecd.php18:42

pylearner1the ruby that is there is version 1.9 in the default repo20:24
tharkunGood $DAY I need to install ubuntu server software on an old laptop I was looking for "A "network install" or "netinst" CD is a single CD which enables you to install the entire operating system. This single CD contains just the minimal amount of software to start the installation and fetch the remaining packages over the Internet." but I am unable to find it.20:24
tharkunThat was taken from the Debian website.20:24
tomreynpylearner1: you could upgrade ubuntu or look for a PPA which provides the version you desire.20:27
pylearner1found a howto on stackoverflow maybe this will work20:28
tomreynmaybe it will, and maybe you'll break your system.20:28

ubottutharkun: 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/MinimalCD20:29
tharkuntomreyn: Is that different from the netboot install image?20:31
tomreyntharkun: debian's? yes, it differs. it's ubuntu.20:32
arifuzzamancan anyone help me about enabling drag-and-drop in Ubuntu 16.04? It's not working for most of the application.20:37
BrokenSDHey Everybody. As my nick indicate I have a bad SD card, I have tried everything in my power to access it, but without any luck. The results of what I already have tried can be found here https://paste.ubuntu.com/24991593/ and now I'm wondering if anyone in here might have any idears to save any of the data on the card20:45
tharkunWhen is 14.04 eol?20:50
akiktharkun: 201920:52
tharkunakik: Thanks20:55
tharkunWhat is the ubuntu method to make an usb "bootable" with the 14.04 image on it?20:56
akiktharkun: just write the iso to the stick with dd21:00
tharkunakik: Thanks21:00
akiktharkun: that is, the ubuntu iso21:01
tharkunYes I figured that part out :)21:01
tharkunAs for the TP-Link network wifi card Should I expect trouble?21:01
tharkunWifi cards are usually a pita on other distros. Should I expect ubuntu to have that figured out?21:02
akiktharkun: if you know the wifi chip model you can make a web search for it21:02
akiktharkun: yes it's sometimes hit and miss21:02
akikespecially with wifi21:03
tharkunThe machine is currently on Windows and I'm slowly downloading the iso so I get the relevant data out. If someone tells me how to extract it.21:03
akiktharkun: you can find the device in windows' device manager21:03
tharkunDell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card21:04
akiktharkun: you can also get more detailed model if you go into the details in another tab21:05

Bashing-omCoderEurope: Keyring? Then : Close Chrome. Open the file manager, press ctrl+H or show hidden files from menu, go to .local/share/keyrings, move the content to some backup place. Then logout and log back in. Open Chrome, there will be a pop up asking you to set a keyring password, leave it blank, confirm, then it shouldn't bother you anymore. If everything works, you can delete the backup you saved21:14
Bashing-omearlier.21:14
akiktharkun: oh i see 4315 is not listed. you could still try ndis-wrapper21:15
akiktharkun: that will try to use the windows driver in linux21:15
tharkunakik: Lets not get to that point yet. It will be depressing ndiswrapper is not the best of options.21:16
akiktharkun: yes21:16

antilogichi is there a way to call bash script from one directory as if i were from another?21:24
m4dh4tt4~/scripts/script_name.sh21:25
m4dh4tt4 /home/user/scripts/script_name.sh21:25
oerheksantilogic, use the full path21:25
sandshamanyou need to use absolute full path21:25
m4dh4tt4should or need?21:26
bree_i suppose it's not because of the browser nor the os, tho21:26
bree_lol. nevermind21:26
antilogici mean i want the script to think its called from its own directory21:26
antilogiceven tho i call it from anywhere21:27
m4dh4tt4in script : cd /where/you/want/21:27
oerheksif the folder is in your path, the script could be called without path, i guess21:27
m4dh4tt4also if youre in  /home/user and you script is in /home/user/scripts/ you can $: ./scripts/1.sh21:29
m4dh4tt4sounds like u just need trial and error, may i recommend commands pwd and ls within script :P21:30
antilogici just have a build.sh that builds my files, it takes files from ../src relative to it21:31
antilogicand i want to be able to call it form anywher21:31
antilogice21:31
antilogici tried cd path in script and it worked21:33
antilogicthank21:33
antilogics21:33
tharkunantilogic: pwd is your present working directory and you might as well use relative paths and check for the file if it exists or not. Be sure to check that you are using bash or whatever shell you might want to use.21:33

adamdesignBrokenSD: It may need to be formatted.  Do you have GParted? Does it show up in there?22:28
Seveassadtaco: seeing how?22:30
adamdesignBrokenSD: Happened to my flash drive recently. Usually, nothing works but formatting and using "photorec" to get data back22:30
sadtacoSeveas, applications that can you more than 4 GPUs don't see them, nvidia-smi doesn't see them, nvidia x server config tool doesnt see them22:32
Seveassadtaco: does lspci see them?22:35
sadtacoSeveas, yes :)22:36
BrokenSDadamdesign: But wouldn't some of the data be overritten if i format the card? And then be harder to recover? :/22:37
Seveassadtaco: anything from dmesg about them?22:38
Seveasmaybe your powersupply doesn't have enough oomph to power them all?22:39
BizzehBrokenSD: quick format just recreates the MBR/partition table, which is the first 512bytes, which is reserved for the partition table22:39
adamdesignBrokenSD: It's possible, but the most common thing that overwrites data is the user himself. Before he realizes he deleted a file, he creates new ones and those overwrite the space where the old file was.22:40
Bizzehfile recovery tools are pretty good these days if you point them to the drive straight away22:40
adamdesignBrokenSD: photorec has always worked well for me, after deleting things.22:40
adamdesignhttp://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download22:41
Seveasinstead of formatting, just use dd to take an image of the drive and run photorec on that.22:41
BrokenSDThanks alot Bizzeh and adamdesign I'll try quick formatting it :)22:41
SeveasOnce satisfied with the results, then you can do potentially destructive things on the sd crad22:41
Bizzehadamdesign: do what Seveas said22:41

adamdesignSeveas: Neat idea. I'll remember that next time...22:43
Seveassee, can't even spell spelling properly... (nope. No alcohol involved)22:43
BrokenSDuhh I'll look at the dd first thanks Seveas22:44
sadtacoSeveas, it definitely has enough juice for them22:44
sadtacoespecially at idle22:44
sadtacowell how can I actually search dmesg for something relevant?22:45
tomreynBrokenSD: i did not follow the conversation - but if there's a chance that the physical media is (partially) defective then you want to use gddrescue instead of just dd.22:45
h0parhi22:49
BrokenSDthanks tomreyn I'll also take a look at gddrescue also :D22:50
h0parhow can I write to file atomic way?22:50
h0parin my example I need to write from stdin22:51
Seveash0par: define 'atomic way'. A single write(2) is atomic, in that simultaneous readers won't ever see that bit of content half written in most filesystems, but that may not be what you're after...22:56
Seveassadtaco: not sure. But if there's something wrong with them, generally it'll be detected at boot, so in the first couple of minutes after boot (use dmesg -T for easy reading)22:57
sadtacoI tried like dmesg | grep 'Nvidia' and such22:58
h0parSeveas: I generate images on the fly and then compile a video with ffmpeg. If ffmpeg reads while writing there are errors22:58
sadtacosame for gpu, graphics. Got nothing22:58
Seveassadtaco: grep -i? And have you rebooted recently? the kernel ring buffer is limited in size22:58
Seveash0par: so don't start ffmpeg until you generated all images?22:59
Seveasonce you close()d all image files, ffmpeg should read them just fine.22:59
h0parSeveas: that would be straightforward but not the case, streaming live here23:00
sadtacoyes i just booted after putting the cards in23:00
h0parright now I write to tmp file then mv it to actual file and it works fine, but I'd like to use it all in piping23:02
h0parlike `gen /dev/stdout | echo-atomic file.png`23:03
tomreynsounds like https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/25372/turn-off-buffering-in-pipe is what you're actually looking for.23:04
tomreynthough you should probably prefer a network stream over piping.23:06
h0partomreyn: could you tell more about network stream?23:08
sadtaco-remoteokay23:13
tomreynh0par: think of vlc, it can take input form a network stream, that's a lot more efficient than storing single images to disk and loading them one by one, and still much more efficient than ingesting data through a pipe.23:13
sadtaco-remoteThe dmesg -T is too long to pastebin23:13
sadtaco-remoteI see it initializing things for 4 of the GPUs but nothing about the others, though23:13
sadtaco-remotewait maybe i do see some error23:13
h0partomreyn: If I understand you right, then I use network stream at some point23:14
tomreynh0par: i have not checked but would assume that ffmpeg / avcons can do similar.23:14
h0paryes, that's exactly how/why I use ffmpeg here, but first I need to supply images to generate stream23:15
tomreynh0par: basically i don't know your architecture, i am just suggesting to consider changing it since it sounds inefficient. but this is really way beyond the prupose of this channel.23:15
sadtaco-remotehttps://pastebin.mozilla.org/9026124 seems to show the issues23:15

h0partomreyn: can you direct me to proper channel for pipes/streams etc.?23:16
h0parI understand it's not ubuntu specific, what's right one for unix tooling questions?23:17
tomreynh0par: i don't know what would be the proper place, i'm not really into A/V processing, but that's where i'd expect you could find some better suggestions than i could provide.23:17
sadtaco-remoteand this is with proprietary drivers...23:18
tomreynh0par: i dont thnk it's a matter of unix tooling but of application architecture design.23:18
tomreynh0par: you are, of course, welcome to discuss the use of pipes and in- and output redirection here.23:19
h0partomreyn: I'll rephrase my question then, thanks23:19
sadtaco-remotewait.. this might be a better clue: "NVRM: This PCI I/O region assigned to your NVIDIA device is invalid: NVRM: BAR1 is 0M @ 0x0 (PCI:0000:08:00.0) NVRM: The system BIOS may have misconfigured your GPU."23:20
h0parI have a program which writes (image) buffer to file or stdout, but during write file appears invalid23:24
h0parcurrently I write to another file then move it to desired location, which is momentary23:24
sadtaco-remoteAnyway it seems I have something configured wrong in the BIOS that prevents more than 4 GPUs from being recognized by the OS, but I'm not sure what. I disabled onboard audio, dropped PCIe down to gen2.  The BIOS has an output for GPUs and I see them all in there so the BIOS sees them but an OS doesn't.23:25
h0parbut I want to avoid using write; mv sequence using pipes or whatever is better to make it one command23:25
h0parfor personal reasons23:26

vltkristhian: Of course.23:39
kristhianvlt, thanks23:39
kristhiandprophit, thanks23:39
kristhianill be back later23:40
Seveash0par: it's impossible to write an entire file in one atomic syscall. The only way to do it is tempfiles and mv, as you are already doing23:40
vltkristhian: Just checked my log files: ~1,240,000 calls in the last 4 years.23:40
Seveash0par: open(...) creates an empty file. write(...) writes to it, but only an fsync(...) or close(...) guarantees that other processes will see the content23:41
Seveasand images are more than likely too large for a single write() anyway, so more atomicity lost.23:41
sadtacoalright23:46
