[00:04] sadtaco: https://www.howtogeek.com/116742/how-to-create-a-separate-home-partition-after-installing-ubuntu/ might be an alternative, a bit more work but worthwhile [00:38] hey [00:39] yes? [00:39] hi [00:40] whatsu p [00:40] up [00:55] yeah. thanks [00:55] So I used an 8GB usb dongle to install ubuntu. How can I get the usb back to its original clean state with 8GB storage? [00:57] clean state? [00:57] empty [00:58] destroy the partition, create a new one and format it? [00:59] lunagirl: destroy... lets start with that . How? [01:00] fdisk /dev/sdb if thats the device, p to display the partitions, d to delete, n if i remember correctly and allocate all the space, wq and then mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 [01:01] or plug it into a windows machine and use the disk manager to do pretty much the same stuff but with extfs or ntfs [01:02] lunagirl: Thanks a lot. But the filesystem will have to remain Fat32 I use it accross several OS and it seems to be the only one that is recognized by mac and windows at the same time. [01:02] tharkun: i think extfs can do the same for you [01:03] lunagirl: Thanks I will google it now. :) [01:03] check what you options are on filesystem are in win diskmanager [01:03] tharkun: :) [01:04] That would be the way to go if I had a windows system but then none availabel at the moment. [01:05] tharkun: just use gparted [01:05] Ben64: Headless server. [01:05] then parted [01:05] Ben64: noted. Thanks. [01:05] How can I get a root user? [01:06] sudo parted will work [01:06] Ben64: yes it will. The question still stands. [01:06] well can you give context [01:06] Ben64: why use parted and not fdisk etc [01:07] parted is smarter [01:07] that depends on the user [01:07] lunagirl: like everything else in linux is a matter of personal choice. [01:07] no underlying reason. Why use aptitude instead of apt-get or viceversa. Arguments are endless [01:08] tharkun: its about what works for you, not others [01:08] aptitude had a lot of issues for a bit [01:09] lunagirl: pick your own poison is the motto around here :) [01:09] but as of how to get root, sudo su - and then passwd, whola, you dont have to use this sudo crap anymore [01:09] I have used fdisk before and parted also. But it is not everyday work so I tend to forget. [01:09] tharkun: yeah and mine is beer right now :) [01:09] sudo is a good idea [01:09] lunagirl: That is a good idea :D [01:09] Ben64: yes for people who dont understand root [01:09] no [01:10] for people who care about security [01:10] please explain [01:10] Ben64: sudo has its own isues. And those are huge ones. OT for the level of expertise around here. [01:10] tharkun: what issues [01:10] Ben64: sorry I have to go now I'm late for an appointment but will discuss it gladly on Monday. [01:10] lol [01:11] You can google them and get the hang of them the underlying isue the more root you have the more knowledge you also need to hardened your server. [01:11] sudo is an illusion of security through obscurity [01:11] lunagirl: that is not correct [01:11] Been around long enough to see sudo fail epic [01:12] GTG [01:12] well, if you need to fear root and accept ubuntu state of rights mechanism youre done for in hardening [01:13] that makes no sense [01:13] that makes all sense, just ask aix, hpux, gentoo, openbsd, freebsd and others [01:13] your logic is not sound [01:14] i never said it was sound, i just dont buy into this sudo saves us all crap, coming from hardened unix systems it doesnt make sense [01:14] well then this is pointless to continue, please don't suggest bypassing sudo in this channel though [01:14] why not? [01:15] because sudo is the way ubuntu does things, this is the ubuntu support channel [01:15] what is wrong advocating responsible root [01:16] sounding like a true beliver hiding the scriptures from the masses [01:17] and btw, i have three machines in front of me running ubuntu on two different architectures so dont lecture me on religion [01:17] i'm not? [01:18] yes you are, sudo is the way of ubuntu bla bla bla <--- nothing to do with linux which is what ubuntu is [01:19] feel free to join #ubuntu-ops if you'd like to discuss policies with the channel ops [01:19] no, i like to discuss real usage of a good OS [01:19] do that crap in ##linux === deathonater is now known as Smeef [01:21] Hello all. I am trying to upgrade my system wide qt version to 5.8 or higher. possible? [01:29] akiva: why would you want / need to do so?

I'm trying to set up a nic alias for my wifi card (so I have a static ip at all times - no matter where my laptop is used). The last /etc/network/interfaces I tried contained http://paste.ubuntu.com/24993215/ but it never comes up with ifup -a or network-manager restart. Anyone got any ideas where I'm going wrong? [01:59] <_28Kb> why i can't use .ico for my "desktop configuration file (application/x-desktop)"? [02:00] <_28Kb> same .ico was there, but now it does not even prompt me when i browse to it trying to change icon [02:01] why not rename it to .desktop ? [02:02] oh wait i misunderstood your question [02:02] <_28Kb> it's a dosbox louncher for a game [02:02] convert it to a png? [02:02] <_28Kb> it worked few days earlier.. [02:03] weird [02:03] <_28Kb> i think so also [02:03] <_28Kb> now my icon is blank page and i don't like it :) [02:04] <_28Kb> i moved folder recently to another location.. maybe that messes up stuff [02:08] what do I do if postgresql is "active (exited)" and sudo less /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.5-main.log is completely empty? [02:10] <_28Kb> tricked it... edited manually .desktop file [02:11] I ran "apt build-dep nginx" because I was going to compile it. I've decided to use the pkg that is already in the repos instead. How do I undo "apt build-dep nginx"? [02:15] ok, so it turns out if I restart networking it works, but if I restart network-manager it loses the ip address again, which presumably means it will be lost when I come out of suspend too. Anyone? [03:03] sup! need help with this https://askubuntu.com/questions/930168 [03:08] anybody here? [03:25] anyone?

[03:53] What's that? [03:53] i don't know [03:55] Fine [03:56] Nilesh_, Timing I imagine. It happens to me when I first login as well. I just haven't bothered tracking it down. [03:56] Ah I see [04:01] heh, my chatzilla dumps me into #android-unregistered instead of #android-dev and i've not figured it out yet either ;) [04:04] lots of clients aren't made for services [04:04] and will automatically join you to all channels before authenticating completely with services [04:07] mmmm, looks like it barfs on my |/set irc_join_delay 8| cmd ...

[04:08] hey Nach0z [04:08] suh [04:17] So fixed it for Hexchat.... http://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html [04:18] Just upped the delay before joining so ident has time to occur. [04:22] blkadder: you should use sasl https://freenode.net/kb/answer/hexchat [04:24] Well, a) I didn't really care that much to bother looking at this until someone else mentioned it, and b) I just made a change that works fine so I don't see the need to do anything else, but thanks for the suggestion. [04:32] Hi guys! I'm having what seems to be an small, yet fatal problem with xorg, it seems not to be able to find screens on my virtual system, the version is xorg-server 2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.7 [04:37] guess Ill try sasl then [04:39] https://hastebin.com/erojawajib.scala anyone know whats wrong with the default apt package for gitlab in the ubuntu repo's? [04:42] ubuntu has a default package? [04:42] I just use the omnibus mess [04:43] kode54 https://about.gitlab.com/installation/#ubuntu I was going to try this but it doesn't include all of the https fanciness etc. [04:43] oh [04:44] I use the gitlab.yml config variable for declaring a custom import to the nginx config [04:44] which declares it to import files from /etc/nginx/conf.d/ [04:44] and there, I declare the same letsencrypt magic as I use on my other servers [04:52] This is why I like docker for this kinda stuff. [04:52] oh ah... /set and /Set ain't the same !? oO [04:54] Anyways, anyone have a solution rather than telling me that this way isn't good? [04:54] I need a way to get this thing working. [04:55] Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [04:55] i tried to install bind9 [04:56] put the whole command and output on paste.ubuntu.com [04:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24994235/ [05:00] whats the output of uname -a [05:00] uname -a [05:00] Linux Gandalf 4.4.0-59-generic #80-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 6 17:47:47 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [05:01] weird, it thinks you have some old kernel installed [05:02] weird is not what i wanted to hear haha [05:02] 16.04 never ran on a 3.x kernel [05:02] theres no reason that should be there [05:02] Jakethepython, Bind was already installed. [05:03] I know it was more of a why all the errors [05:03] Old kernel cruft. [05:03] I imagine... [05:03] Some screwy stuff... [05:03] Jakethepython: sudo dpkg --force-all -P linux-image-extra-3.16.0-77-generic linux-image-3.16.0-77-generic [05:05] paste bin it [05:05] ? [05:05] unless it errors no, should just fix it [05:06] kode54 did you have a guide that you followed? [05:07] It seems that there is a significantly lacking amount of intuitiveness to the documentation. [05:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24994267/ [05:08] Yeah... [05:08] Didn't think that was going to work. [05:08] It seems that there is a significantly lacking amount of intuitiveness to the documentation. [05:08] Because it was already erroring previously [05:08] https://hastebin.com/abuyuxupen.rb not sure what this means. [05:09] that usually works though [05:09] Right, but it was already trying to remove stuff and errored out on it. [05:10] Based on the previous output he provided. [05:10] right, but what i suggested usually works with errors [05:10] * blkadder shrugs [05:11] I haven't seen these particular errors before (especially the YOUR SYSTEM IS NOW UNBOOTABLE) :-) [05:12] yeah thats really the one that scares me [05:12] Jakethepython, dpkg -l | grep linux-image [05:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/24994277/ [05:14] And uname -r [05:15] jacob@Gandalf:~$ uname -r [05:15] 4.4.0-59-generic [05:15] Well that's good. [05:17] at least somethign is good i guess [05:23] is it better to just clean insatll or can we fix the paths that are screwed [05:23] Can probably fix, but I don't want to give you bad info so I am looking... [05:23] packages* not paths [05:24] Since you aren't using the old kernel I don't think all the scary warnings are relevant. [05:24] thats fine thank you very much in advance even if we don't find it [05:24] ok thats also good news [05:25] should i upgrade to 16.04? [05:25] I'd suggest getting everything in order before upgrading... [05:28] agreed it was more of a general question [05:28] So I am pretty sure the "pH" flags on the kernel version that is throwing errors means it was half-installed. [05:29] Which is probably why it can't uninstall cleanly. [05:30] ok [05:31] So for giggles let's try dpkg --purge linux-image-extra-3.16.0-77-generic [05:32] I don't think it will work but let's see... [05:32] looks very simliar to what was tried earlier [05:32] That's what I thought... [05:33] That's the half-installed issue... [05:35] ok [05:35] dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove linux-image-extra-3.16.0-77-generic [05:38] same error [05:38] Ok how about apt install --reinstall linux-image-extra-3.16.0-77-generic [05:42] same error [05:43] Yikes. [05:43] thats not what i wanted to hear [05:44] I'm out of my element at this point so you probably want someone more clued. [05:44] im way out of mine right now too [05:45] thank you for trying though :) [05:45] But as I said you aren't using that kernel so I don't think it a real issue, just more of an annoyance. [05:49] i would like to upgrade but i don't want to break it [05:55] i don't even know if an upgrade will work [05:57] I have a ip address alias set up in /etc/network/interfaces, but when I come out of suspend it's not visible. I need to run /etc/init.d/networking restart to get it to show up. Anyone got any ideas how to make it always show up? [06:26] doc|work: Have you looked for errors in your logs after resuming from suspend? What ubuntu version are you seeing this behavior on by the way? [06:27] glitsj16, xubuntu 16.04, only thing in dmesg that looks relevant and perhaps out of place is: iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: set key failed [06:29] doc|work: that might be related somehow yes.. I wouldn't know how to fix that, but you could try a custom systemd service file to run /etc/init.d/networking commands on sleep/resume [06:30] hi, does anyone know what 'i801_smbus' driver is for? [06:30] glitsj16, thanks. Was hoping to avoid that. That's slow :/ [06:31] doc|work: yup, a crude hack indeed.. [08:06] Helo, does anybody know how to connect ios 10.2.1 to Ubuntu 16.04? [08:08] ew [08:09] give up, use iTunes in a VM [08:13] c|oneman: Thanks for the thought. [08:51] I'm having this errors http://paste.ubuntu.com/24995125/ while trying to install pygtk using pip install pygtk [08:54] hosas: maybe a little look at this would help. I've never tried, so I don't know if it will help or not. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygtk [08:54] thanks [08:59] perhaps: apt install python-gtk2 python-gtk2-dev [09:22] Exterminador: I already install all those packages....but still having same error when starting hackertray [09:23] hosas: I can't help you much. as I'm here for get help also. :/ [09:24] Exterminador: :) thanks === TheFuzzb_ is now known as TheFuzzball === juboxi is now known as jubo2 [09:44] hi, guys can you plz help enable radeon driver , dual gpu hp laptop, amd intel [09:46] GLX Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Sandybridge Mobile [09:53] anyone ? [09:54] Is there any kubuntu channel? [09:58] Howdy folks [10:04] is it possible to mount two SSDs in the same mountpoint ? [10:05] and how about nested once like i mout one to /home/data and one to /home/data/dat2 [10:05] and what will happen if i save files to /home/data and there are two SSDs mounted to [10:05] does that even make sense at all [10:12] thyriaen: mount two ssds in the same mountpoint? no, but you can achieve the goal of having multiple drives cooperate in single storage scenario via mdadm/raid [10:12] there's also LVM where you can combine multiple physical drives into single, contiguous logical volume / storage space [10:13] thyriaen: so for example, if you want /home/data to be on both disks, each having the same copy of data, that's basically raid-1 (mirror) [10:19] fallentree, can i use raid 0 with two ssds wich are not of the same size ? [10:20] plz guys someone help enabling radeon driver [10:20] thyriaen: I think so, but it will use the smaller disks's size as reference [10:20] thyriaen: btw, don't use raid-0 unless you're okay with losing data on it [10:22] fallentree, i think i dont want to use a raid anyways - i still want to have the data saperated on it - i guess i just have to use two mountpoints [10:25] my system is not performing well with ubuntu so i created the backup in deja-dup directory, after creating the backup i need to copy that backup in external drive or what to do with backup? [10:26] please help [10:38] Hi everyone. If I've backed up an SD card with a few filesystems on it, using dd, is it then possible for me to restore ONLY the _written_ data, and not also all the zero's? [10:38] I'd like to be able to not restore, say, 16GB backup, where only 2GB are used. [10:39] Then it'd work better if I only restored the 2GB parts. [10:42] simso: Which ubuntu/kernel version! And are you asking how to enable the AMD Catalyst (fglrx), the amdgpu or radeon driver ? [10:44] i got a question about the amd driver too [10:44] the raedeon driver is for the old crads i read the info correctly [10:45] what is the difference between amdgpu and amdgpu pro ? [10:45] and is there a repository for the amdgpu-pro available so i get automatic updates pushed via apt ? === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [10:54] necrophcodr, unused space is not necessarily zero. you can loop-mount and only copy files. if it's actually zero dd has conv=sparse but the target drive has to be zero for that (zero does not necessarily mean free space, so if you make dd skip zero, it should be zero at the target, or it may be corrupt). [10:55] guys, can someplz help enable radeon , i dont have no amd options in driver manager [10:56] necrophcodr, or maybe you want something like partimage but it depends on the filesystem [10:57] filezilla could do that, restoring data/partial data only [10:58] frostschutz: okay, so the situation i'm specifically asking for is I have a RPi2 sd card with a system on it, running ext4 filesystem and all the sd card is partitioned. [10:58] and i'd like to back that up effectively, but even more importantly i want to be able to restore in less than an hour, and that's not happening if i have to restore all of the sd card sadly [11:00] necrophcodr, so... copy files instead of dd? copying files (or even then only the files that changed using rsync) will always be faster than anything else. dd is only faster if you prepare another SD card beforehand and then switch cards entirely. [11:00] i also don't mind getting my hands dirty and looking partitions and mangling data into submission. that's fine for me in this case, so long as the data remains non-corrupt and restorable. [11:00] frostschutz: i'll look into making the sd card reproducable with copying then, if that's the faster method [11:01] it is, the only thing that needs special treatment is the bootloader [11:01] I'll also look into partimage [11:01] but you should ask in a raspi channel [11:01] frostschutz: on rpi2, isn't the bootloader just in the /boot partition only? i think that may be the case, so i should be alright there. that can be backed up in full anyway. [11:02] frostschutz: thanks for your help! :D [11:08] necrophcodr, if it's like RPI3 the bootloader has it's own partition on the sdcard [11:17] guys so amd radeon is no longer supported in ubuntu 16 ?

[11:43] rud0lf: thanks [11:43] glad to help [11:44] ubottu: iam sorry [11:44] simso: i won't guide you but this is the general approach i would take: first of all check whether the radeon driverwas loaded to support this device (lspci -knn | grep -A3 VGA | egrep 'VGA|Kernel driver in use'), then blacklist the intel driver (create /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nameoftheintelkernelmodule.conf and type 'blacklist' followed by the name of the intel kernel module you are currently using into it), then reboot.

I understand linux supports having multiple libc builds/versions but I don't know how to install one without messing up everything [12:15] thewillo: okay... why? [12:16] thewillo: can you use a VM or chroot or similar? [12:16] Wulf, Why, because I'm recompiling everything to be ryzen comaptiable [12:16] and no, VM will not work [12:17] or chroot [12:17] I asked in #linux because I realized it's not an ubuntu question [12:18] thewillo: and why wouldn't it work? Get a compiler with ryzen as target, compile call your stuff and put it into a chroot if you want to run it [12:42] I have two Intel Joule boards and am trying to copy the system from one to another. The system on the first is on an internal MMIC memory, the second I want onto an SDHC (which, on the Joule, is a bootable object). [12:43] A dd(1) of the internal MMIC to SDHC failed because the internal MMIC is larger than the SDHC. I went to Plan B... [12:44] it will [12:44] .. and created partitions on the SDHC. From there, file systems were set up (one parttion gets mkfs.vfat, the other gets mkfs.ext4) and I used tar(1) to copy everything from each partition on the MMIC to the corresponding partition on the SDHC. [12:45] Then I used blkid and some editing of fstab on the SDHC to get that straightened out. [12:46] Then used some mount and chroot chicanery to get grub2 installed on the SDHC. [12:46] All of this worked on the original system. The SDHC would boot up and all was good. [12:46] Then the SDHC was plugged into the SECOND Joule board... and grub complained that a device was missing. [12:47] The error message blipped by too fast for me to read.. but I think it was a UUID. === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [12:49] I know grub2 starts up before the system has a chance to look at /etc/fstab . But now I can't figure out why grub2 boots the system on the original host but fails on a different computer with identical hardware. [12:50] The "chicanery" mentioned above was that of binding SDHC partitions to the running system then chroot'ing to the SDHC system and installing grub2. [12:54] Suggestions would be appreciated. Once grub2 is installed on the new SDHC device, what is the step to get the thing bootable on another, identical, piece of hardware? [13:27] Hi. does anyone here know how to enable username@url for a website on apache? [13:33] cariveri: you don't just enable that [13:33] cariveri: you need an auth system, I assume you're probably talking about the htaccess list ? [13:37] Hello is there another way to stop gdm/lightdm services? i need it to install nvidia drivers. 'service lightdm/gdm3 stop' do not appear to do anything [13:38] im using ubuntu-gnome btw [13:39] antilogic: use the systemd command systemctl [13:39] antilogic, which nvidia gpu? [13:39] 760M [13:39] however if you install the nvidia drivers via the package manager it does it all for you [13:39] are you using the ubuntu package manager to install the nvidia packages ? [13:39] yah i need a specific version that came out recently [13:40] antilogic, optimus? hybrid graphics I bet [13:40] i did it before with systemctl command somehoe just forgot it [13:40] BluesKaj: yah [13:40] somehow* [13:40] why can you not use the version ubuntu packages ? [13:40] a bug fix came out in beta driver and i want to test it [13:41] which bug fix ? [13:41] "Fixed a bug that could sometimes cause OpenGL applications to lock up until the X server receives input." [13:42] what's the bug id ? [13:42] i dont know, it doenst matter i just want to install the driver :D [13:43] get on with it then [13:48] ikonia: htaccess and htpasswd is all in place and working. Im talking about the connection of the username@url to be passed along. [13:50] cariveri: what do you mean ? [13:52] ikonia: 1. enter username@mywebsite, 2. be prompted (basic auth already working), 3. see that "username" is already entered in there (not working) [13:54] cariveri: username@mywebsite - what is prompting for that ? [13:55] ikonia: try this : https://ikonia@dialogium.de/arguedit/ [13:56] cariveri: your question really has nothing to do with ubuntu. You need to look for help about web development. [13:56] Heyo Guys! I'm a Windows Power User but I need to use Ubuntu for work on a daily bases. Any guides or stuff like that, that you could recommend to get into ubuntu as fast as possible? [13:57] leftyfb: he seemed to have a clue. and I m asking here as a later resort, I already did ask somewhere else. little response on httpd e.g. [13:58] Lenni: https://goo.gl/9t3Zvv [13:59] !manual | Lenni [13:59] Lenni: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [13:59] !tldp | Lenni [13:59] Lenni: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/95-799/rute.pdf [14:00] cariveri: what is actually prompting the user for the user/password [14:00] cariveri: as in what technology/part of the stack [14:00] ay, thanks [14:00] ikonia: in that example, it's htaccess. The fact that there was a username in the URL is irrelevant and gets removed immediately. [14:02] cariveri: to be honest, there's no point in putting the username in the URL if you're just going to present a web asking for credentials. If you're going to put both the username and password in the URL, DON'T. [14:02] leftyfb: I was wondering if it was a web app rather than htaccess [14:02] leftyfb: some sort of auth service that is "infront" of the web application, eg: openam or something like that [14:02] ikonia: it's not. It's htaccess === coffeeguy is now known as covfefeguy === covfefeguy is now known as zenguy [15:33] is there any way to grep a pdf document for the math "2^n" ? === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf === Wulf4 is now known as Wulf [15:54] i am trying to burn a windows iso to a DVD using my ubunto Live USB but when i open the immage writer the disc drive is greyed out so it woont let me use it [15:54] sure its not a CD drive instead? [15:55] it says DVD on it [15:55] DVD-R-DL [15:55] dont they make different dvd media? what brand and name are the DVDs youre using? [15:56] windata [15:57] companies make DVD+R, and DVD-R, and i think there one thats permanent, like writing on stone [15:59] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc_drive#Compatibility [16:01] you'll need to examine which device (use lspci and lsusb commands) and dvd recordables (check the label) you have there exactly to detemrine whether they're compatible. === ledeni_ is now known as ledeni [16:22] Hey folks [16:22] When I log into the terminal via ssh sometimes i am told i need to restart the system because of an update [16:23] is it possible to find out if the system needs to be rebooted after an update without logging out and then back in again? [16:27] BlackVenom: you can look at /var/run/reboot-required. If it exists, a reboot is required. [16:28] is that just a file thats created? [16:28] BlackVenom: that is the file that is cat'd to your MOTD upon logging in via ssh if it exists, yes [16:29] BlackVenom: yes, just check whether the file exists: [[ -f /var/run/reboot-required ]] && echo 'Please reboot me soon.' [16:31] thanks folks [16:31] what does the [[ command do tomreyn? [16:31] it invokes the bash built-in complement to the 'test' command [16:32] thanks tomreyn [16:33] i meant to write equivalent, not completment, sorry ;) [16:45] where can i find help with configuring my vncserver ? [16:46] JustTheDoctor: in its man page [16:47] also in the (possibly provided) ...-docs package [16:50]
