[00:19] Any suggestions for software to use another computer as a networked display? [00:19] #ubuntu-uk has gone nutz, but its over now..... [00:21] EleanorEllis, depends on use case [00:22] Phanes: I want to extend the desktop to a networked display as if it were an extra output on my local graphics card [00:23] not really sure what youre getting at. you'd need to build your own hardware for that. [00:25] you're probably looking for VNC or xrdp/sessman but, uh, can't really tell by your description. [00:26] Phanes: I was thinking perhaps it might work by vnc or rdp yes. I vaguely remember some software that did this but I cant remember what it was called [00:27] Xorg does this depending on your use case. [00:27] xdmx or better synergy https://askubuntu.com/questions/136942/extend-desktop-to-monitor-over-lan [00:30] oerheks: Thanks.

[00:43] xangua, idk [00:44] xangua, but i dont mind, just want to completly purge unity [00:44] im on gnome already [01:28] i have deb package how to list the file will be copied after installation the deb file? [01:31] fishcooker: Example... These are the files that would be installed when installing the 'irssi' package on 16.04. https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/irssi/filelist === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [01:34] fishcooker: You could also open the file with the 'fileroller' or similar software for 'zipped' files and check the files in that software. [01:34] fishcooker: 'file-roller' ... ;) [01:44] Hi everyone, I need your help with a server/VPS question. I am setting up a VPS with Ubuntu 16.04 on DigitalOcean. I wish to be able to set it up as development server/permanent website. What I mean by this is setting up the server so that when you type in a the website it would go to the wordpress site that I wish to have setup (ex. https://mysite.com/). Now I wish to be able to setup this same site to host my projects. For example, i [01:45] "https://projects.mysite.com" it will show a directory of all the project folders that I have setup [01:45] in the projects folder I wish to be able to have different projects from CMS site like wordpess to just php and html sites [01:46] I also wish to setup ssh and ftp to access the server [01:46] I just need some pointers on where to start at setting this up [01:46] by making out a list of the things you want to do in simple terms, as tasks or goals, and then picking one and focusing on that. [01:47] for instance, you want ssh and ftp. is your VPS receiving ssh connections? [01:48] spry7: 'sudo apt install openssh-server' for ssh/sftp access [01:49] Phanes, I haven't set anything up quite yet. I am making sure that I get a road map for the most part taken care of first. I get the ssh and ftp things. I may not have been very clear on what I am looking for. My question is mainly regarding how the structure of the web server would be setup. [01:51] What I want is when you type in "mysite.com" you get the main wordpress site that I want, but when you type "projects.mysite.com" you see a directory with all the projects I have. From other wordpress sites to just html and php pages. [01:54] when I have done this in the past I have only been able to do one or the other. What I mean by this is that when I type "mysite.com" it will show just the wordpress site or it will show a directory of all folders. I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to work when the wordpress site shows with "mysite.com" and the directory is shown with "projects.mysite.com" [01:54] idk if it has to do with the initial setup or where I am going wrong with it [01:57] do you install wordpress into the root directory of the webserver and then just create a projects folder within that root folder and then some how redirect "projects.mysite.com" to /projects [01:59] or do you create a seperate the main wordpress site and projects folder and instead have two folders in the root directory so its more like /wordpress and /projects and at that point how do i say if I want "mysite.com" to be pointed at /wordpress and "projects.mysite.com" to be pointed at /projects [02:02] spry7, this can all be done with DNS for your domain and the apache VirtualHost directive [02:04] Phanes: thank you so much. I will get to looking into this. Would you recommend having the projects folder within the main wordpress site or separating the two folder in the root directory? [02:07] i would recommend separate directories for each virtualhost [02:07] it'll be cleaner as you start putting stuff in it [02:07] but this is a matter of taste [02:08] Phanes: you've been a great help. Thank you for your input [02:41] so many times, just phrasing my question here gets me to my answer! [03:35] hey [04:47] In the terminal, how can I start a program and return to the terminal prompt without closing the program? [04:49] ./program & [04:55] EleanorEllis: add & at the end. Then you can return to it using "fg" (foreground) [04:55] Thanks [04:56] EleanorEllis: you can also look into "screen" or "tmux" which is a way to run multiple terminals in one [05:09] chromium-browser won't conntect to my system-wide proxy server [05:10] EleanorEllis, what router are you using? [05:11] quantibility: I am just connecting to a wifi-hotspot.Chromium reports "No internet connection" whereas Firefox conencts to my proxy without any problem. [05:12] quantibility: So I don't have a router. [05:14] EleanorEllis, hmmm, definitely something up with the Chromium settings. [05:14] quantibility: It's a fairly fresh install [05:15] manually enter the IP addresses in the proxy settings? [05:16] quantibility: I get that, but I don't want to have to do that for every computer I support [05:16] well if you had your own router you wouldn't have much of an issue. [05:17] you may just have to enter manually, or set it to obtain automatically.. is that set? [05:17] quantibility: Indeed, but I am supporting laptops that are used away from base [05:18] is this your network or a network that you can access at certain times of the day? [05:18] Wifi hotspots wherever they may be [05:19] hmm [05:19] hold on [05:19] wait [05:19] i have chrome, i don't believe that the same as Chromium..

[06:07] <_cc> I don't think so [06:07] <_cc> they wont fix it because apparently a browser shouldn't need to resolve between system-wide and brosers own settings [06:09] _cc: That's pants! Firefox respects the system wide proxy. I wonder how they expect system admins to deploy chrome on a large scale if it won't obey something simple like that [06:09] _cc: I find it hard to believe that every business using chrome has to edit the startup command for chrome on every machine! === chalcedny is now known as chalcedony [06:19] Howdy everyone [06:20] Anyone here tried Icaros os before ??

[07:02] laceylaney: https://pastebin.com/sANY4eYm [07:03] laceylaney: When I try to cat the script, I get lots of strange characters so I suspect I don't have the correct character encoding installed [07:04] laceylaney: When I try to open displaylink-driver-1.3.54.run in gedit it appears not to be utf8 [07:07] EleanorEllis: I'm not sure if the character formatting would be the cause of any errors, though if you wanted you could check the formatting and see if your terminal supports it. [07:07] laceylaney: When I cat the script in the terminal, it displays strange characters [07:08] Then your terminal defo doesn't have support for those characters. I'm pretty sure you could add support for them.... [07:09] laceylaney: I imagine the script was created in windows. What character encoding should I install? [07:10] EleanorEllis: whats the output of file thefile.run [07:10] Ben64: https://pastebin.com/sANY4eYm [07:11] something up with your link there [07:13] Hmmm I'm not sure. You can google character encoding checker and find out the exact one that way. [07:13] Ben64: The link works on my machine [07:14] Link works for me too... [07:15] anyway, thats not what i asked for [07:15] The link is a paste of the output... [07:16] not what you asked for ?? [07:16] EleanorEllis: whats the output of file thefile.run [07:17] Ben64: Open the link that she posted. It shows the output of that file.... [07:17] right but that isn't what i asked for [07:18] let me make it more clear i guess... "file displaylink-driver-1.3.54.run" [07:18] Ben64: displaylink-driver-1.3.54.run: POSIX shell script executable (binary data) [07:18] Ahh right you want the actual file haha [07:20] does displaylink-installer.sh disappear after it fails [07:21] afk - brb [07:21] Ben64: displaylink-installer.sh never appears [07:22] cool, then you should contact displaylink or try it on another system === JanC is now known as Guest1067 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [07:23] Ben64: Thing is the previous version has the same issue and I did successfully install this on a previous installation of ubuntu, so I have screwed something up on the present incarnation === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:30] Ben64: Since the terminal can't display the characters in the script, I suspect I don't have the right character set installed. I suspect the file was created on a windows machine with english language installed [07:30] nah [07:30] Ben64: Because previously I would have been able to read the script [07:31] you don't need to read it [07:32] Ben64: If I can read the script then I could have a hope of debugging it, by checking what it is trying to access [07:33] head thefile.run [07:34] Ben64: https://pastebin.com/DkX9AuV1 [07:35] is there any problem with ubuntu repositories? When I type "sudo apt-get update" on console, it returns me fetch errors such as "Failed to fetch http://tr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/InRelease" [07:37] or is something wrong with my system?

[07:56] EleanorEllis: that's not the problem, you can read it fine [07:56] Ben64: But I can't read it. gedit complains that it is not utf8 [07:57] so don't use gedit [07:57] Ben64: Neither can I open it in any other text editor, nor CAT it in terminal [07:58] head worked, so it works [07:59] Ben64: I need to read it, so I can try to find out where it is going wrong [07:59] go for it [08:00] Ben64: So I am trying to find out how to install the character set for western windows and failing to find it [08:00] nope [08:00] you're going about it all wrong. you can already read it, head proved it [08:01] Ben64: So how would you do it then?

I can't install wineasio, it says I need jack, I installed jack and it still says I need jack [08:02] Ben64: Fair enough, but I am where I am at and I need to get it working. How can I debug the script if all I can see is junk characters? [08:03] EleanorEllis: but you can see normal characters, head proved it [08:03] Ben64: Can you try opening the file and then you will see what I mean?

[10:52] bazhang same issue on all of them [10:53] beefjoe, same as on fb yt and the rest? from the actual speedtest site? [10:53] what do you mean [10:54] the speedtest site indicated problems or not [10:55] yes when it comes to testing the upload speed [10:55] so the bottleneck sounds like from the fb and yt sites [10:56] unless you mean the youtube lag is with uploads [10:57] no it's not with uploads..although I can barely upload anything anywhere [10:57] because of the poor upload speed for some reason.. [10:57] beefjoe, how much of a lag are we talking about here [10:58] so firefox shows it's loading..keeps loading with a blank page [10:58] if I hit refresh [10:58] it gets load instantly [10:58] otherwise would have to wait...keeps lagging...and might open up eventually [10:59] so a refresh usually loads it up fast specially on youtube [10:59] whats the actual lag time there beefjoe [10:59] a few seconds, several minutes or what [11:01] around 15 seconds [11:02] beefjoe, do you have firefox clear its cache upon quitting or not [11:02] is it possible to find all files that have 'something' in the name in a folder and copy them to another folder? [11:02] no I don't, but this happens on chromium as well [11:02] ubuntu xfce [11:03] whats the ram on that maching beefjoe [11:03] machine [11:03] 8GB [11:03] beefjoe, so why not try cleaing the cache upon quit, to troubleshoot that way, for starters [11:04] hi [11:04] my friend did something on his ubuntu (specifically uninstalled bluetooth, pulseaudio and pulseaudio-bluetooth) and now his networking doesnt work. [11:04] its a laptop, only wifi, no ethernet [11:05] bazhang, but why do you think the upload speed is so low ? [11:05] Starcraftmazter, why not have your friend join here so he can get help directly [11:05] bazhang: i would if he had internet connectivity [11:06] if I reconnect I get an upload speed of 0.01 mbps for like ten seconds then goes null again [11:06] Starcraftmazter, it's going to be difficult to ask him to run commands and get error s otherwise [11:06] bazhang: just tell me, ill tell him (im on a call) [11:07] beefjoe, did you first try the clear cache thing with firefox [11:09] bazhang, I have just now [11:09] beefjoe, so lets try the various lag sites, not refresh [11:10] anyone? [11:11] Starcraftmazter, how will you be relaying the various messages to and fro [11:11] bazhang, still exists..for example on fb when I clock on notifications and the little window appears loading..forever.. [11:11] and upload test still gives error [11:11] bazhang: by phone [11:12] beefjoe: this might your issue, the solution starts at the " End update " section in: http://www.hecticgeek.com/2017/04/ubuntu-17-04-systemd-dns-issues/ [11:12] beefjoe, forever as in ten-fifteen seconds? [11:12] yep [11:13] beefjoe, sounds like a bottleneck on the fb site [11:13] Starcraftmazter, first have him tell us what he did just prior to having issues [11:14] Starcraftmazter, then tell him to remove the offending packages [11:14] bazhang: what are the offending packages? [11:14] <_cc> I think bazhang probably misread [11:14] i think the problem is because he removed something he shouldn't have - not installed something [11:14] Starcraftmazter, how can we know that without you asking him [11:14] he didnt install anything [11:14] i did [11:14] he showed me a screenshot [11:14] and i relayed [11:15] Starcraftmazter, then ask him what it was [11:15] bazhang, bottleneck ? :O [11:15] beefjoe, sure, they are a high traffic site, as compared to something on your own lan game [11:16] >specifically uninstalled bluetooth, pulseaudio and pulseaudio-bluetooth) [11:16] Starcraftmazter, whyever would he uninstall pulseaudio [11:17] who knows [11:17] Starcraftmazter, you need to ask him [11:17] Starcraftmazter, please do so [11:17] <_cc> :D [11:18] bazhang: well i know, he was trying to get bluetooth to work. I don't think it was a smart idea [11:19] Starcraftmazter, so have reverse whatever it was he did do, and give us a full pastebin on the exact errors he is getting [11:21] i think he uninstalled network manager [11:22] Starcraftmazter, again we need the entirety of what he did and did not do, the exact errors in a pastebin [11:22] Starcraftmazter, guess work over the phone is not going to get it done [11:23] nah already solved m8 [11:23] Starcraftmazter, that means the entirety of what he did remove [11:23] basically he removed network-manager package [11:24] Starcraftmazter, so reinstalling it and all his issues are gone? [11:25] i said he should boot to livecd, mount his drive, chroot and then install network manager [11:26] he can set /etc/network/interfaces, get connectivity, and reinstall de and NM [11:27] so the netstat -nplt output like this "tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:1337 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN - " does mean that its also listenting for the trafic from public IP . isnt it ? [11:28] ioria: how can that be done for wifi? [11:29] Starcraftmazter, with wpasupplicant (if installed) or with nmtui [11:32] Starcraftmazter, if he is not familiar with that, and he is with livecd chroot, would be easier the second, btw [11:33] if yes, there are many application on my system that are doing this. I think they just want to talk to each other (and hence bind to only localhost) but their is some problem in the config. How can I fix this ? [11:34] this above output was related to docker. [11:34] ioria: ok thanks [11:34] Starcraftmazter, ok [11:37] Howdy folks [11:58] Am I the only one who is upset that Unity is going to be canned? [12:05] Swey_Hey: no, you're not. why do you think that? [12:06] akik: Because Unity gets heaps of hate [12:06] I can't STAND Gnome [12:07] It makes me feel a little sick [12:08] hey ho [12:08] o/ [12:09] question: when I deactivate password authentication over ssh and I loose my laptop with my private key on it, I'll never be able to login again don't I? [12:10] Swey_Hey, there's always KDE/Plasma [12:13] BluesKaj, I don't like KDE either. Unity was my favorite. XFCE is the only DE I can stand [12:15] !info budgie-desktop | Swey_Hey [12:15] Swey_Hey: budgie-desktop (source: budgie-desktop): Desktop package for budgie-desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 10.2.9-3ubuntu4.1 (zesty), package size 3 kB, installed size 20 kB [12:15] Swey_Hey, you've severely limited your options, time try some other DE's and give them chance before making a definite choice [12:16] BluesKaj: I know. I am using Cinnamon on Linux Mint and it's not to bad.
