[00:00] sary: only windows distribution with this "all in one" have no mention to key to enable/disable wifi [00:02] sary: And, I try yours commands, no results [00:02] opessoa: "All in one" what exactly is the model of the Desktop! [00:02] opessoa: try sudo rfkill unblock 0 , sudo rfkill list [00:02] sary: Its a brazilian factory called "Positivo" [00:04] sary: all in one up7210 [00:06] opessoa: thanks. is it one of these: http://www.positivobgh.com/products/Faqs [00:07] <[n0mad]> it has enable wifi in the faq [00:09] [n0mad]: it sure does .. thank you for pointin' that out :) [00:09] opessoa: try ress the keys “Fn + F11” or “Fn + F2” simultaneously in both cases. The Wi-Fi card will turn off by pressing [00:09] the same keys. [00:10] sary: what is the Fn key? (windows keyboard) [00:11] opessoa: it's the Windows key that have windows logo on it. [00:11] another reason could be windows/fastboot keeping wifi/usb hostage.. [00:12] sary: nothing [00:12] oerheks: how can I find it fastboot on windows 7? [00:13] oerheks: Good point. [00:13] or look in dmesg, for missing firmware? comes in mind too [00:14] not sure windows 7 got fastboot, that was introduced with 8? [00:15] opessoa: press Fn + F11 then run sudo rfkill list , if harware block is No , then you might restart the network manager. [00:16] oerheks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25064840/ [00:17] firmware=N/A [00:17] hmm [00:18] oerheks: what this mean? [00:18] im looking to install some variant of ubuntu in a virtual machine for the perposes of programming in Java and maybe C and python will Lubuntu be a good option of are there limitation that I should be aware of that would make one of the others a better choice [00:19] donavan01: are you only programming in your VM? just install ubuntu server (why do you need a desktop?) [00:21] opessoa, you have the driver, but not the closed firmware, see this post https://askubuntu.com/questions/836207/how-to-install-drivers-for-tp-link-tl-wn722n-on-16-04 [00:21] wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.161_all.deb [00:21] sudo dpkg -i linux*.deb [00:21] nacc honesly im not super good with the command line yet and I could use the gui as kind of a crutch at times till I get better [00:22] oerheks: ok, and now? [00:23] if you are on 16.04 or up, systemctl restart NetworkManager.service [00:23] with sudo perhaps .. [00:23] donavan01: ok [00:23] then the mod list will give firmware, i hope [00:25] oerheks: restart and nothing [00:25] wireless yet down [00:25] down, not blocked ? [00:25] oerheks: restart and nothing [00:26] sorry [00:26] blocked [00:26] yet blocked [00:26] sudo lshw -C network # this gives a firmware, right? or maybe you *need* to reboot like the article says === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [00:27] i had to reinstall ubuntu. now my firewire audiocard shows in sound properties in taskbar being the default soundcard , but qjackctl fails to start using it. i tried adding "pasuspender -- jackd" in server path to suspend pulseaudio but this didnt fix the problem. any ideas or am i forced to reinstall with the sound card disconnected so its not used by system and i can use it with jack ? fresh ub.studio 16.04 install [00:27] oerheks: no firmware [00:27] before this the card didnt show in sound properties in taskbar at all [00:27] oerheks: Need to restart? [00:27] opessoa, yes, probably. [00:28] ok, I will [00:35] oerheks: noting [00:35] same [00:35] hard blocked yet [00:35] :-( [00:35] damm [00:37] opessoa: Did you try the FN-plus-hotkey combination or dedicated button which turns the wifi on and off and then look at rfkill output again? [00:38] genii: I have try all "windows" F1..f12 nothing change [00:39] the keys are “Fn + F11” or “Fn + F2 .. try doing it right. [00:41] you need to check with rfkill list after pressing one of the keys combination , you night need to restart network manger . [00:41] opessoa: Not random FN+whatever keys. Look up the key combination which enables and disables the wifi card, either in your user manual that came with the machine, or look it up online. [00:42] ..and when I write FN, yes, the key usually has FN written on it [00:44] sary: I always did that! Nothing change! [00:44] genii: No, does not have Fn button [00:45] genii: It's a windows normal abnt2 keyboard [00:47] genii, if you can ead back, i tried to make opessoa install the firmware, as the ath9 seems to have none.. and it failed [00:47] c/read [00:48] genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25064840/ [00:48] I'm not clear on if this is a laptop, or a desktop [00:48] I had assumed laptop, since wifi [00:48] genii: its an "ALL IN ONE" [00:49] a desktop with notebooks hardware #LOL [00:49] So then a PC [00:49] opessoa: An Acer? [00:50] genii: http://www.positivobgh.com/products/Faqs [00:50] positivo [00:51] opessoa: "depending on your model, fn+f11 or fn+f12" [00:51] So if it's the keyboard it came with, there must be some Fn key [00:51] genii, see the paste: firmware=N/A [00:52] oerheks: I have the same card and it works fine with no firmware [00:52] ( on Xenial ) [00:53] opessoa: Have you tried to play around with options of the ath9c driver? [00:54] opessoa: There seems to be one interesting option "nohwcrypt=1". Maybe test that... 'sudo modprobe -r ath9k', then 'sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1' [00:54] there is a paste with suggestions yes http://paste.ubuntu.com/25064693/ [00:54] minimec: its no more in rfkill list [00:55] with "sudo modprobe -r ath9k" [00:55] -r remove, that is good [00:55] ok remove [00:55] :P [00:56] sudo modprobe ath9k nohwcrypt=1 - its back on rfkill list [00:57] minimec: I dont know how to play around with options :P [00:59] this likely belongs in a different channel (please let me know which one) but what is the equivilent of ~/.ssh/config on the windows linux subsystem? [01:00] wedgie: it shouldn't be any different the structure is the same [01:00] opessoa: Now that it's back in rfkill list, can you unblock it now? "sudo rfkill unblock wifi"... [01:00] minimec: no results [01:00] Sleaker: i guess my question is ore about where I have to place that file in order for the ssh client to reference it [01:01] in ~/.ssh/config [01:01] opessoa: Still... Do "echo "options ath9k nohwcrypt=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf" once in a console and then do 'cat /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf' to check the content of the file we just created. Then reboot. [01:01] hmm. Didn't seem to respect it. Maybe i need to fiddle with the permisions or something [01:01] ubuntu on windows still has the directory structure for users, you just also have a pre-mounted drive share in /mnt/ for the windows system. [01:02] everything else should behave the same, especially something like ssh [01:03] known_hosts shows up properly in there. [01:06] opessoa: Ok. I found a file with all available options for the ath9k driver... There are a lot of them... https://github.com/reynhout/chrx/blob/master/dist/etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf [01:07] minimec: cat /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf returns me :options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 [01:07] options ath9k nohwcrypt=1 [01:08] twice [01:09] so, I'm dummie what the options I can use? [01:09] opessoa: Good. So the file we created is the 'playground' to test all the options of the driver. You can add an dremove options there and they will be loaded on boot. Now reboot for a try. Eventhough the line exists twice, that should not be a problem. The option is jjust set twice... [01:09] Sleaker: ah, silly me. I assumed that the directory i landed in when i typed "bash" was my home dir. Turns out that this is not the case. Thanks :) [01:10] ok [01:10] rebooting now. [01:15] minimec: yet blocked [01:17] opessoa: Ok. Well I found out that I have a computer here running that wifi driver... Works without problems here... I do not have any options set here... [01:18] opessoa: Did you ever change something in the BIOS (I suggest no)? [01:18] no only choose linux hd to start from [01:21] opessoa: try removing mei_me and mei modules [01:21] has anyone tested 4.12 kernel on zesty? [01:22] al2o3-cr: how can I do it? [01:23] sudo rmmod mei_me && sudo rmmod mei [01:24] al2o3-cr: ok and now? [01:25] try rkfill unblock ... again [01:25] al2o3-cr: same hard locked [01:25] hard blocked [01:25] how come i cant see vnc in the list of protocols on remmina in 14.04 ubuntu lts [01:26] i have done sudo apt-get install remmina-plugin-vnc [01:26] it says its already the newest version [01:26] you've got management extension BIOS reboot and ctrl+p and enter it have a look for wifi [01:26] ^ opessoa [01:27] opessoa: Ok. I checked my settings... On a fedora system, I can run the driver without modifications, on arch linux I have a configuration file with this content... 'options ath9k ps_enable btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1'. Maybe try to 'sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf' and change the content to match the options I use. x to get the save dialog... [01:29] I will reboot again... [01:36] al2o3-cr: no wifi options on BIOS [01:36] minimec: no wifi now :P [01:37] minimec: $ iwconfig [01:37] enp2s0 no wireless extensions. [01:37] lo no wireless extensions. [01:38] opessoa: I did som typo error in the line I posted but in the meantime I removed the config file on my arch system and wifi is running... So I can run this driver on a c720p chromebook with fedora and archlinux without any configuration... [01:38] opessoa: Just in case... The correct options line would be 'options ath9k ps_enable=1 btcoex_enable=1 bt_ant_diversity=1' [01:40] opessoa: As a last option I would do a 'reset to defaults' in the BIOS. Sometimes it does miracles... ;) [01:40] bt_ant_diversity=1 thank god someone considered ant diversity [01:40] can't stand discrimination against ants [01:41] l1Ll1Ll1L: Ok. That's not a bad one... ;) [01:42] don't worry, I've always got you covered on cheesy jokes ;) [01:43] I'm back [01:43] noting, same hard blocked [01:43] :P [01:44] l1Ll1Ll1L: so you are like nacho sauce then? [01:44] opessoa: Can you give me the exact model of that all-in-one desktop thingy? [01:45] oh snap, I guess I am ccat [01:45] How can I limit access to a directory to a specific application?

[01:59] right [01:59] 2 different hds [01:59] linux is external usb hd [02:02] opessoa: And in windows you can enable/disable wifi? What if you disable wifi once in windows and then reboot? Maybe windows sets some strange config to the device. And what happens if you boot the device without the LAN cable plugged? [02:02] Sorry if wrong place but having issues with enabling dark theme for Libreoffice and Firefox (Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS) .. any suggestion? [02:02] boot with linux or windows? [02:03] without cable [02:03] opessoa: disable wifi on windows and reboot to linux; boot linux without LAN... [02:03] ok [02:09] I'm back [02:09] and... Nothing [02:09] :P [02:10] disable it on windows [02:10] restart without cable [02:10] rfkill unblock and nothing [02:12] opessoa: Well... It was worth a try. How do you unblock? 'sudo rfkill unblock all' or just '... unblock wifi'? I am somehow out of ideas... The think is the wifi hardware you use should work out of the box in linux. [02:13] minimec: all [02:13] rfkill unblock all [02:13] How can I out which uid or gid a process has [02:14] how can i stop alsa/pulseaudio messing with my firewire audio card ? [02:14] question how do i open a dat file in ubuntu 16.04? [02:14] i am using vlc [02:15] on amd64 [02:19] wait brb [02:22] i did a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-install-extras [02:22] as instructed by askubuntu [02:22] but to no avail, still i could'nt play dat file in vlc [02:24] What file type is it? [02:25] If it is a vcd video. i think you need ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:28] kenrin yes i installed ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:28] and yes it is a vcd [02:29] oke, then you miss the vcd/dvd-decryption codec for playback, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs [02:29] and restart your player [02:29] ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version (65) [02:29] i already rebooted my computer [02:29] Make sure to open it the right way too. from the media > open > vcd [02:30] s/open/open disc/ [02:31] s/open/open disc/ <- actually i do not know what does this means [02:32] It means I meant to say open disc instead of open. Since there is a ton of options that just say open in that menu [02:34] yep im on vlc open disc option now [02:34] but i do not know where to locate the cdrom here [02:34] since the cdrom here has no files shown [02:34] just empty [02:40] I migrate a physical ubuntu to vm. I have /md0 /md1 and /md2 on /, /home and /bak. I would like to get rid of it... without losing data. How to do that? [02:46] I am configuring Privoxy, a privacy server, and I need to setup a temporary directory and the documentation says that this should be a directory that only Privoxy (and trusted users) can access. How can I do that? I don't know how to limit directory access to a process. The other weird thing is that I can't find a task running which contains the string "privoxy" even though I know the server is running. [03:02] um i reinstalled ubuntu formatting the partitions /tmp /usr /var /boot / , and keeping only /home unformatted (and swap). after installing chrome to my great suprise all settings were there as if i never formatted (firefox also). i assume all program leftovers broken links etc. i had before are gone now , but can keeping an old /home partition be dangerous concerning the security of the system ? [03:04] also before i formatted the system used greek language, i installed in english now without prompting for greek language anywhere, but pressing alt+shift switches to greek language ? is this normal ? i didnt install anything about it [03:07] yorwos: if you kept /home from your old install, all your user's settings are still present [03:07] yorwos: i don't know what you mean about security of the system -- you had root (enough to install it in the first place), not sure why security is relevant? [03:08] just curious [03:08] yorwos: the greek stuff is probably also per-user, and something knows about your language options [03:08] aaaw i see [03:09] yorwos: you removed global (/etc/) settings, but no per-user ones, so all the per-user ones (which are most of what a desktop user sees with things like firefox) are still going to be present [03:11] i see , i see , when i did it i thought i would only save my files like eg.downloads folder didnt think id save so much of it like my settings etc [03:28] Hello. Can anybody tell how to setup nfs Server and connect to it? [03:31] pankaj, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo [03:33] l1Ll1Ll1L: OK. But it seems to be very long and complecated. [03:33] well you can always pay someone to set it up for you I guess... [03:35] It is only four steps [03:37] All the other stuff is optional for security and automount [03:40] tbf kenrin you probably shouldn't skip security related steps, and pankaj will probably want automount. But it still isn't that long of a wiki page [03:40] l1Ll1Ll1L: L [03:40] l1Ll1Ll1L: OK. [03:41] get you hands off my L's :-X [03:41] l1Ll1Ll1L: Why your name is full of l's and complecated? [03:41] because that's the way I like it, of course [03:42] This might be off-topic. But It is hard to see in the WSL ubuntu terminal. Is there a better one I can use? preferably qt [03:43] ew that's the windows terminal?

I'd like to use the nvidia instead the free drivers for the new graphic card (nvidia GTX750Ti). There's two listed in the settings 375.66 (says proprietary, tested) and 340.12 (says proprietary). Which one do I use? [04:46] Cedara: the one working best for your card [04:47] Cedara: i suggest testing them both [04:47] Cedara: if both doesnt fit your needs, there is also an ubuntu graphics drivers ppa you can add for latest drivers [04:49] I have a little booklet from a German computer zine, there it says, use the higher numbered one, and it should say updates for the numbering at the end, which it doesn't here. [04:50] Cedara: you cant generalize things, in some cases an older driver performs best..thats why test both [04:50] does that backup program built in to ubuntu have encryption? I've read more than once it does but i dont see any encryption setting.. [04:50] okay, test the older first? [04:51] or go by tested and use that? [04:52] Cedara: test both, you can choose wich one first [04:52] If everything fails and I can't even log in, I'll end up with a new installation anyway.

[08:50] *bind9 [08:51] mcdado: it's not strange. security updates come days, weeks, months after the vuln has been found. security is not a single switch, it's a multi-layer solution. [08:51] then my server doesn’t resolve dns queries to canonical updates repos [08:52] mcdado: resolve to itself or? [08:52] using bind as local resolver? [08:52] i don’t know it’s a setting that plesk did [08:52] i’m quite frustrated by the need of plesk already [08:52] offtopic here, tho' [08:52] yeah [08:52] so [08:53] i sincerely have no idea how it been configured [08:53] local resolver? [08:53] plesk is offtopic here [08:54] yes, so the problem is that the dns configuration is something i never done on a server [08:54] so i don’t know how it works or what i’m supposed to [08:54] do [08:55] i guess if i remove bind, then how do i configure dns? [08:55] you set up the ip address of a resolver in /etc/resolv.conf [08:56] less /etc/resolv.conf [08:56] # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [08:56] # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [08:56] on ubuntu at least, no idea what plesk did to your system, that's why I've been saying it's offtopic here [08:56] mcdado: right so two things, is this a server? do you have a static ip or dhcp? [08:56] static [08:57] server yes [08:57] public facing website [08:57] is it hosted? by a company? [08:57] VPS on OVH [08:57] full root control [08:59] mcdado: do you have something like a dns-nameservers option in your network interface config file? [08:59] i’ll check [08:59] /etc/network/interfaces or interfaces.d/... [09:00] doesn’t seem so [09:00] interfaces.d is empty [09:00] where do you set up the static ip then? [09:01] it’s in /etc/network/interfaces file [09:01] ah, interfaces.d is empty, but interfaces isnt? the network config is there, right? [09:01] there are two iface [09:01] inet and inet6 [09:01] statics [09:01] lo and something like ens3 ? [09:02] auto lo [09:02] iface lo inet loopback [09:02] auto eth0 [09:02] iface eth0 inet static [09:02] an eth0. [09:02] and various ips [09:02] oh yes you said it's 14.04 [09:02] yes [09:02] ok, pastebin /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [09:02] it’s empty [09:02] # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) [09:02] # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN [09:03] Alright. now, you have two options. One, uninstall resolvconf and set up /etc/resolv.conf manually, or two, keep resolvconf, and then set up /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [09:03] either way, the setup is adding a "nameserver" entry. like nameserver 192.168.1.1, replace with actual resolver IP [09:04] okay, i could use like 8.8.8.8 ? [09:04] or better something else? [09:05] mcdado: that should be ok, and you can also use OVH's own resolvers [09:07]
