[00:00] <shadow1809> Atm no. but ofcourse if I switch back to the GPU I'll put it back into the respecting PCI-E slot.
[00:00] <shadow1809> or well MIni displayport.
[00:16] <shadow1809> well ben64 i dont think ubuntu is gonna work for me at all :P to much of a hassle to even remotely start it up correctly.
[00:17] <shadow1809> gpu doesnt want to play nice at all. Think ill just head on over back to windows.
[00:17] <shadow1809> shame :/
[00:17] <Ben64> shadow1809: uh ok
[00:17] <Ben64> come back if you ever want to try
[00:18] <shadow1809> thanks for the help though man :p I do want to try it but .. well one moment
[00:18] <Jebroney> Hello guys, I'm running a minecraft server and I tried to make it happen on windoes 2012 server and then on ubuntu 17.04 but every time theres 2 plugin that doesnt start our server. wanna help me? we unloaded all plugins and 1 single plugin (precious Stones) couldnt work alone.. but we run paper Spigot instance for minecraft and a guy there who is very active made it work on his VM ubuntu
[00:18] <pillar32> Where can I get help with Xplanet not displaying?
[00:18] <Jebroney> Twice, 2 plugins don't work.. any tought what could cause this?
[00:18] <shadow1809> ill see if i can send a screenshot over phone xD it more or less messed up both my partitions so i cant get bk on my windows now
[00:19] <Jebroney> after a few minutes of the server not loading with Precious Stones (EWG disabled), a warning appears that an HTTP request connection has been leaked to https://www.buycraft.net/ (i think).
[00:19] <Ben64> Jebroney: that's not really on topic here, see if spigot or whatever has support
[00:19] <Jebroney> they made it work, they bumped me here
[00:19] <Ben64> well this is ubuntu support, not modded minecraft support
[00:20] <Jebroney> oh, thanks dude but I'm sure it's in the config of the machine that we have this problem since they made it work
[00:20] <Jebroney> ok alright
[00:20] <Jebroney> bye
[00:20] <Lope> Is the ubuntu installer supposed to work for me to setup an encrypted physical volume on one of my LVM volumes?
[00:20] <Lope> I tried it but the system didn't boot after install. After kernel loaded it was stuck on initramfs/busybox.
[00:21] <shadow1809> ben64 http://imgur.com/a/gDqQ3
[00:21] <shadow1809> thats .. what i always end up with
[00:22] <Lope> I pressed back/forward a few times between setting up the enc volume with the wizard and the boot LVM also. So maybe that's why it broke. I had everything ready this time and did the boot volume and volume for the enc ready before starting the wizard.
[00:22] <Lope> Hopefully it'll work this time.
[00:23] <Ben64> shadow1809: ok good, ready for step 2?
[00:23] <shadow1809> yep as rdy as can be
[00:23] <Ben64> try ctrl+alt+f1 through f8
[00:23] <shadow1809> nothing
[00:25] <Ben64> what iso did you use
[00:26] <shadow1809> 17.04 AMDx64
[00:26] <shadow1809> Made with Rufus like the official Ubuntu guide stated.
[00:26] <shadow1809> downloaded from Ubuntus site :P the ISO that is
[00:27] <sary> Did you MD5 shecksum the iso before burnning!
[00:27] <shadow1809> didnt burn it. USB Boot
[00:27] <_28Kb> checksum.. i see that a lot but don't know what it is
[00:28] <shadow1809> I doublechecked if it was corrupt. it wasnt
[00:28] <shadow1809> even have two bootable usbs with the same iso just incase one failed or something stupid like that :d
[00:28] <_28Kb> file consistence? or something for cyber protection..
[00:29] <sary> form the image you paste , it seems to be stuck at bcma ..
[00:29] <shadow1809> thats just the Wlan
[00:29] <shadow1809> if i disable it in the bios that message does no longer appear
[00:29] <sary> _28Kb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[00:30] <Ben64> shadow1809: when it's booting hit escape so you can get more options, hit f6 and choose nomodeset and try
[00:31] <shadow1809> alrighr one moment
[00:33] <shadow1809> ben64 http://imgur.com/a/RbVFT looking 4 this i assume?
[00:34] <shadow1809> atleast thats what it gave when esc was pressed
[00:34] <Ben64> uh no
[00:35] <shadow1809> hrmm
[00:35] <owen1_> is that's the best way to run ubuntu from USB and persist it? https://askubuntu.com/questions/772744/how-to-make-a-live-usb-persistent
[00:35] <Ben64> shadow1809: http://imgur.com/a/RfRtG
[00:36] <shadow1809> well...
[00:36] <shadow1809> one moment lol
[00:36] <Ben64> maybe try a different iso
[00:36] <owen1_> another question, is it possible to speed things up and run ubuntu from the memory of the host similar to http://puppylinux.com/?
[00:36] <Ben64> 16.04 perhaps, or ubuntu mate
[00:37] <Lope> FYI the installer worked.
[00:37] <shadow1809> http://imgur.com/a/tumNO
[00:38] <shadow1809> soz 4 upside down dunno imgur derped :D
[00:38] <shadow1809> but were getting somewhere
[00:38] <shadow1809> your iso is vastly different??
[00:39] <Ben64> i grabbed the 17.04 from ubuntu.com
[00:40] <Ben64> but on that screen hit "e" for try ubuntu
[00:40] <shadow1809> so did i o.o
[00:40] <Ben64> then go to do line that says something like blah blah linux blah blah splash
[00:41] <shadow1809> jep and then?
[00:41] <Ben64> edit that line, put "nomodeset" at the end, no quotes
[00:41] <shadow1809> done
[00:43] <shadow1809> http://imgur.com/a/tumNO second pic ben64
[00:43] <shadow1809> make sure i did it right
[00:43] <Ben64> hmm, maybe put it before the ---
[00:44] <shadow1809> done
[00:44] <shadow1809> ctrl-x now i assume?
[00:44] <Ben64> yeah
[00:45] <shadow1809> hey hey!
[00:45] <shadow1809> bingo.
[00:46] <shadow1809> ben64 http://imgur.com/a/Y7tru
[00:46] <shadow1809> booted succesfully on the gpu
[00:46] <Ben64> there ya go
[00:46] <shadow1809> hmmm now what :P? install ubuntu?
[00:48] <Lope> I installed mate-desktop on ubu16.04 now
[00:48] <Lope> But it didn't ask me which DE I want when I rebooted.
[00:52] <Lope> oh, I installed the wrong package.
[00:55] <owen1_> i am trying to use mkusb to create persistant ubuntu on a usb and i see this error message: "The boot system for UEFI must be fetched from the ISO file". any idea what can be the issue?
[01:01] <owen1_> it looks like it was just a message. not an error.
[01:13] <duckgoose> SO
[01:13] <duckgoose> I installed ubuntu recently, got this annoying issue
[01:14] <duckgoose> 1080p in browser doesn't play very well, when it did in windows with this hardware
[01:14] <duckgoose> neither the open source drivers or proprietary help
[01:15] <oerheks_> duckgoose, specs videocard?
[01:19] <duckgoose> 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cedar [Radeon HD 5000/6000/7350/8350 Series]
[01:20] <duckgoose> it's an HD 5450, 1gb I think
[01:20] <oerheks_> i have the same. 2 screens, 1 hdmi, one dvi, can play 2 movies same time
[01:21] <oerheks_> systemsettings> details > Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.10.0-26-generic, LLVM 4.0.0)
[01:22] <duckgoose> Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR (DRM 2.46.0 / 4.8.0-58-generic, LLVM 3.8.0)
[01:23] <oerheks_> i'm on 17.04. driver in use >> lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 | grep 'in use' >> radeon
[01:27] <shadow1809> pff idk what im doing wrong anymore
[01:27] <shadow1809> ben64 i got the issue again.
[01:27] <shadow1809> You know the "test mode" we were in? i ran the install to install ubuntu on C and once again guess what. gpu aint playing nice
[01:28] <shadow1809> however putting in the usb and pressing e editing the command and going back works a okay..
[01:28] <shadow1809> any clue?
[01:31] <oerheks_> All i know it is a well supported card, if it fails it is dirty, or broken.
[01:32] <fl00fykittry> can someone halp a brotha out? i got a wired connection works fine, wireless that has about 20% packet loss and pings as high as 3200ms. i think i may have borked it via a sloppy install of apache tomcat but not totally certain.
[01:32] <shadow1809> oerheks i doubt the card is faulty at all in whatever way
[01:33] <fl00fykittry> i am also having the issue where this machine is recognized by the router as both localhost and myusername
[01:33] <shadow1809> it displays fine on windows and fine if i add nomodeset command on the trial of ubuntu
[01:33] <shadow1809> it also works on gpu stresstests worked fine in overclocking and worked fine for gaming... lol
[01:33] <oerheks_> i didn't need nomodeset at all..
[01:34] <shadow1809> 1000% sure the card is fine
[01:37] <shadow1809> hmmm maybe im doing this wrong. whats the best linux distro with driver support :')?
[01:38] <oerheks_> all linux versions switch to open radeon en open amdgpu/amdgpu-pro
[01:38] <duckgoose> hmm
[01:38] <oerheks_> no more fglrx
[01:38] <duckgoose> seems to be working fine in vlc
[01:39] <duckgoose> must be something to do with chrome
[01:39] <shadow1809> 😐
[01:39] <shadow1809> k kill me i give up
[01:39] <sary> shadow1809: So you installed ubuntu, but you're unable to reach the desktop caus the GPU is acting up, and you've set nomodset in the live session ..
[01:39] <shadow1809> nope
[01:40] <shadow1809> 1. gpu works fine if i mash the esc key on startup
[01:40] <oerheks_> oh i see a mix, i was actually helping duckgoose / ati
[01:40] <shadow1809> 2. gpu "displays artifacts" if i let it boot into ubuntu
[01:40] <shadow1809> here wait.. ill screen both
[01:40] <shadow1809> its rlly weird
[01:41] <sary> IS this on a dual/hybrid Graphics machine!
[01:42] <shadow1809> nope lol
[01:42] <shadow1809> http://imgur.com/a/UFDf4
[01:42] <shadow1809> here you go sary
[01:43] <sary> So you only have one Graphic card ..
[01:43] <shadow1809> no bios tweaks no command edits etc etc just a boot with mashing esc and a boot without doing anything
[01:43] <shadow1809> yes only 1x gtx 970
[01:44] <shadow1809> as you can see its 100% not the gpu
[01:44] <shadow1809> being faulty that is.
[01:44] <shadow1809> its something weird with ubuntu .... not sure what either.
[01:48] <sary> this is the GRUB bootloader rescue prompt , does this show up after BIOS ..
[01:49] <shadow1809> yes
[01:49] <shadow1809> after mashing esc ofc
[01:49] <sary> it's seems like you've already installed ubuntu on the disk!
[01:49] <shadow1809> i did
[01:49] <sary> ok, what happens when you don't press esc~
[01:49] <shadow1809> the 2nd picture
[01:50] <shadow1809> thats what happens :')
[01:51] <shadow1809> note that this does not happen on the iGPU (if i disable my GPU)
[01:51] <Ben64> shadow1809: did you install
[01:51] <shadow1809> i did ben64
[01:51] <shadow1809> i can go bk to usb mode and just do what we did and itd work
[01:51] <Ben64> and booted from the drive?
[01:52] <shadow1809> yep i actually even redownloaded a new iso and checked it for corrupted parts
[01:52] <ax562> what's the best way to mount a .cue file?
[01:52] <shadow1809> 0 found and made it into an install. installation succeeded and i rebooted computer as it told me to do so ben64
[01:53] <shadow1809> Not quite sure why it dislikes my gpu so much
[01:53] <Ben64> ax562: cue file itself is not mountable
[01:54] <Ben64> shadow1809: you can do the nomodeset thing on the install too
[01:54] <shadow1809> I can? hmm time to reinstall lol
[01:55] <Ben64> the goal is to get into the system to install the driver properly
[01:55] <ax562> Ben64 i also have bin
[01:55] <ax562> .bin
[01:55] <shadow1809> oehhh i found something by accident ben64
[01:55] <oerheks_> no need for that, login ctrl alt f2, sudo ubuntu-drivers list and choose, or directly sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
[01:56] <shadow1809> same screen mashing f2 :d now i can nomodeset
[01:56] <shadow1809> yep lol oerheks :P
[01:56] <Ben64> ax562: whats in the cue file
[01:58] <ax562> bin cue vcd video
[01:59] <ax562> or what can I use to mount images to virtual drive like poweriso in windoze
[02:00] <Ben64> "mount"
[02:01] <shadow1809> feelsgoodman... oerheks apparently ctrl alt f4 breaks ubuntu completely it black screens on me and locks up
[02:01] <oerheks_> normally a VCD got vcd.cue and vcd.bin ..
[02:01] <shadow1809> ben64 did manage to login tho. with the nomodeset command :)
[02:01] <ax562> oerheks yes both
[02:01] <oerheks_> ctrl alt F2
[02:02] <shadow1809> yeah... that blackscreens me oerheks
[02:02] <Ben64> shadow1809: ctrl+alt+f1-6 would go to a console
[02:02] <Ben64> 7 would go back to gui
[02:02] <shadow1809> yep
[02:03] <shadow1809> well i can confirm the console breaks
[02:03] <shadow1809> or is broken*
[02:04] <oerheks_> well, you managed to login
[02:04] <shadow1809> the gui works if i press ctrl alt 7. ctrl alt 1-6 all bring me to the black screen
[02:04] <shadow1809> oerheks i did xD
[02:05] <shadow1809> cant i do the sudo thing in terminal?
[02:05] <duckgoose> fix the problem. had to enabled the option "Override software rendering list" in chrome://flags/
[02:05] <duckgoose> thanks k bye
[02:06] <Ben64> shadow1809: you could open the software center, go to sources and then to additional drivers
[02:07] <shadow1809> hm got it trying the nvidia one instead of the one its using.
[02:08] <shadow1809> here goes nothing :P
[02:08] <shadow1809> holy!!
[02:08] <shadow1809> it works!
[02:10] <shadow1809> http://imgur.com/a/Mkajb ben64 thank you so much 😊 also oerheks thank you!
[02:11] <Ben64> !yay | shadow1809
[02:11] <Ben64> aw, did that get removed
[02:11] <shadow1809> phew that took a while lol
[02:11] <Ben64> oh ubottu is just laggy
[02:12] <shadow1809> haha xD
[02:13] <JustTheDoctor> Is it possible for me to download ubuntu latest version, install it, add a app and then create a livecd iso based on that?
[02:26] <oerheks_> JustTheDoctor, yes, you could have, but the UCK project is dead? ubuntu-customisation kit
[02:26] <oerheks_> there is an other project, cubic, https://askubuntu.com/questions/741753/how-to-use-cubic-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-image
[02:27] <oerheks_> up to zesty
[02:27] <oerheks_> you can add apps and sources lists
[02:28] <oerheks_> !uck
[02:29] <JustTheDoctor> the app i want to add needs to be compiled.
[02:29] <JustTheDoctor> its not on a source list.
[02:30] <bazhang> JustTheDoctor, whats the app do
[02:31] <JustTheDoctor> its a crypto currency
[02:31] <bazhang> which one
[02:32] <JustTheDoctor> im trying to create a Ubuntu livecd that automatically has pandacoin (pnd) and a most recentl blockchain by default, with the ability to install.
[02:33] <bazhang> why not add the pandacoin, and whatever else then make an installable iso from that
[02:33] <JustTheDoctor> what i beleive i need to do is install ubuntu, add the coin and the blockchain data, then recreate a new (NOT OFFICIAL) iso
[02:37] <oerheks_> but pandacoin is dead :-D
[02:39] <JustTheDoctor> no its not
[02:39] <JustTheDoctor> working with amDoge and another member of the community i've created new versions
[02:40] <JustTheDoctor> its now on multiple exchange's and its now at 2 sat value, not the 1 sat value when i started
[02:41] <bazhang> JustTheDoctor, lets get back on topic
[02:41] <JustTheDoctor> yes, lets.. Thank you
[02:41] <JustTheDoctor> i wasnt trying to discuss the crypto, i was trying to figure out how i would create a livecd of ubuntu latest, with all the ability to install/run my app
[02:42] <JustTheDoctor> by default.
[02:42] <JustTheDoctor> you livecd its there, you install its there
[02:43] <bazhang> JustTheDoctor, yes, so get your base/mini , install all what you want, then make it an installable iso
[02:44] <JustTheDoctor> my major q is, HOW do i make that iso?
[02:44] <oerheks_> a live iso that installs the !build environment, your sourcecode from the internet .. that cannot be done with that cubic
[02:44] <oerheks_> maybe a live iso + persistence where you store that info
[02:46] <JustTheDoctor> if i install latest ubuntu, then my app, can i create a livecd iso based on my system without the specific drivers for my system?
[02:46] <oerheks_> or just install ubuntu to usb, and build the tools, voila
[02:47] <oerheks_> ehm, your demand is difficult, as it needs to compile something
[02:47] <bazhang> https://askubuntu.com/questions/829652/build-my-own-ubuntu-iso/831803#831803 JustTheDoctor
[02:47] <bazhang> JustTheDoctor, that lists about four methods
[02:49] <JustTheDoctor> ok thank you
[02:49] <oerheks_> add cubic to that list, https://launchpad.net/~cubic-wizard/+archive/ubuntu/release ---  https://askubuntu.com/questions/741753/how-to-use-cubic-to-create-a-custom-ubuntu-live-cd-image

[04:26] <maco> Has anyone started having system hangs with "task blocked for more than 120 seconds" in syslog since installing updates on 16.04 (xenial)?
[04:26] <ox1de> i need help - on both my PC and Laptop the screen is dark/blank - on boot the sceen illuminates for 1 second and then goes blank - screen goes to sleep orange LED and then when mouse wiggle the screen illuminates for 1 second and then goes blank/dark again - what do I do to repair this problem?
[04:32] <ox1de> is the problem because of the lack of screen saver?
[04:32] <ox1de> my ubutu didnt seem to have one
[04:32] <ox1de> ubuntu*
[04:32] <ox1de> screen*
[04:33] <lotuspsychje> ox1de: ubuntu doesnt have a screensaver by default, but you can install xscreensaver if you want?
[04:33] <ox1de> acknowledged... how do i repair and make the screen illuminate?
[04:39] <capella> examine your screen saver settings .... maybe you've got |idle-delay| set to 1 second? (heh or you got pranked)
[04:39] <capella> try "gsettings list-recursively | grep -i screensaver" ?
[04:41] <capella> my Ubuntu came with gnome-screensaver default but I switched to cinnamons
[04:41] <ox1de> where do i place that command?
[04:41] <capella> must be hard to work ...wiggle mouse ... work ...wiggle mouse ... work ...wiggle mouse ... XD
[04:42] <ox1de> also solution can be e-mailed to me : oxide1984@gmail.com
[04:43] <capella> yah, that sounds like work
[04:43] <ox1de> work?
[04:45] <lotuspsychje> ox1de: to get your issue solved best, re-ask your problem to the channel once in a while with all details, like ubuntu version, kernel version, steps taken etc..
[04:46] <capella> show progress
[04:47] <ox1de> main screen turn on? the screen is on but is dark - it will only stay illuminated for a few seconds - i can turn off screen then turn screen back on and then i get illumination for a second and then blank again
[04:47] <capella> can you enter commands and receive responses???
[04:47] <capella> keep talking
[04:47] <vbotka> ox1de, you might want to switch to the terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and review the content of /sys/class/backlight/.
[04:48] <vbotka> ox1de, If this doesn't help you might want to proceed according https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
[04:48] <lotuspsychje> vbotka: +1
[04:48] <capella> ox1de Did it work before then it stopped?
[04:49] <maco> Ox1de: debugging question: if you hit control alt f1 do you get dropped to a terminal and the screen then stay lit up?
[04:51] <ox1de> i have a terminal but no illuminate?
[04:51] <ox1de> what do i put in terminal?

[05:03] <lotuspsychje> ox1de: yes, you can scroll to above, where users have tried to help you and give suggestions
[05:03] <capella> nvm, I'll lurk a bit :)
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> ox1de: you can recognize it when they have typed your nickname ox1de:
[05:04] <ox1de> post again? i dont see it
[05:04] <lotuspsychje> ox1de: use your scroll please
[05:06] <ox1de> repost? i cant see it
[05:07] <ox1de> what do i punch into terminal?
[05:07] <ox1de> is it GPU?
[05:10] <ox1de> xscreensaver?
[05:11] <l1Ll1Ll1L> ox1de, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[05:13] <ox1de> my screen goes dark - it only stays illuminated for a few seconds and then goes dark
[05:14] <l1Ll1Ll1L> I see you said you were getting a blank screen on boot, then you were talking about how to log in at a TTY?
[05:14] <maco> Ox1de: any luck if you type "startx" in that terminal?
[05:16] <l1Ll1Ll1L> did either of your two machines previously work properly and display a graphical environment?
[05:16] <ox1de> something happened with startx
[05:17] <ox1de> hard to see what it says with 1 second temporary screen visibility
[05:19] <ox1de> i am trying to accomplish making my screen stay illuminated
[05:19] <l1Ll1Ll1L> so it sounds like you have two machines, both of which work on the command line but neither of which can display a graphical desktop.
[05:19] <l1Ll1Ll1L> Did you just acquire both of these machines from a local shop?
[05:21] <ox1de> no they were acquired some time ago - and worked find until recently
[05:21] <ox1de> fine*
[05:22] <l1Ll1Ll1L> And they both stopped working at the same time, out of the blue. Did you reconfigure anything immediately before this happened?
[05:23] <ox1de> no and one dropped malfunction a month before the other
[05:23] <ox1de> laptop first
[05:24] <l1Ll1Ll1L> type startx again, then after it kicks you back to the command line enter journalctl then press end. Look for error messages invling X, Xorg or xserver
[05:24] <l1Ll1Ll1L> *involving
[05:26] <l1Ll1Ll1L> you can use page up/down or the arrow keys to see more messages
[05:26] <capella> whoah .... logcat for ubuntu
[05:29] <l1Ll1Ll1L> I'm going afk for a bit ox1de, but post your messages anyway so others can help
[05:30] <ox1de> ok if this is caused by backlight what do i do?
[05:30] <ox1de> -bash
[05:31] <ox1de> ?
[05:41] <ox1de> im tired - i may be back tommorow - if anyone can send me the solution = oxide1984@gmail.com
[05:45] <l1Ll1Ll1L> troubleshooting is a process ox1de, nobody can or will email you a solution
[05:54] <carmelo12341> hi guys, I have a question. Which ubuntu would go well with a pentium IV with 1gb ram and 96mb of gpu. I tried normal ubuntu but it didn't go well
[05:57] <l1Ll1Ll1L> xubuntu might perform better for you carmelo12341
[05:57] <l1Ll1Ll1L> or maybe lubuntu
[05:59] <l1Ll1Ll1L> either should run faster than plain ubuntu
[06:02] <carmelo12341> huh, lubuntu. I suppose the fancy animations aren't an option with that amount of gpu memory
[06:03] <l1Ll1Ll1L> eh, I have a powerful enough machine and I prefer to disable them anyway =P
[06:03] <carmelo12341> well then, I'll give it a try. Thanks l1Ll1Ll1L
[06:03] <l1Ll1Ll1L> yup np
[06:03] <carmelo12341> damn, what a hard name to write
[06:03] <l1Ll1Ll1L> lol
[06:03] <l1Ll1Ll1L> I know, I know
[06:04] <l1Ll1Ll1L> "l" "1" tab
[06:04] <carmelo12341> l1Ll1Ll1L: oh, didn't know that
[06:04] <carmelo12341> lol
[06:04] <l1Ll1Ll1L> I didn't either until someone complained about my name the other day then mentioned it haha
[06:05] <carmelo12341> haha, thanks m8 ^_^
[06:05] <l1Ll1Ll1L> :3
[06:06] <carmelo12341> I think running just a wm would be faster, but I'm not a fan of those
[06:07] <l1Ll1Ll1L> It probably would be, but I've never tried that myself
[06:07] <l1Ll1Ll1L> xubuntu is already pretty lightweight, and lubuntu possibly even a little lighter
[06:08] <l1Ll1Ll1L> Plus xfce is a great DE, I use it over the other ones becuase I honestly like it best
[06:08] <carmelo12341> huh, xubuntu... I'll try that one too.
[06:08] <carmelo12341> but what about gnome?
[06:09] <l1Ll1Ll1L> it is heavier than the other DEs I mentioned
[06:09] <l1Ll1Ll1L> probably would not perform any better than Unity
[06:09] <l1Ll1Ll1L> same for kde in kubuntu
[06:10] <carmelo12341> yeah, last version I tried in that pc was 10.04, at least the desktop started, but it was really buggy
[06:10] <l1Ll1Ll1L> lol
[06:10] <carmelo12341> I wonder if the desktop would even start atm
[06:10] <l1Ll1Ll1L> 10.04 is pretty dated
[06:11] <carmelo12341> yeah, at that time that was the only pc I had and was just starting to know linux
[06:12] <carmelo12341> I think that pc might need an older version of the kernel to run properly. Prob kernel 4.x won't do it
[06:13] <l1Ll1Ll1L> you talking about the pentium 4 machine still?
[06:13] <carmelo12341> yeap, it is a 3 ghz pentium 4, the best cpu for that socket
[06:15] <carmelo12341> a socket 478 btw, no 64 bit saddly
[06:16] <l1Ll1Ll1L> oh well, the biggest restriction is probably that 1GB RAM
[06:17] <carmelo12341> that mb supports up to 2gb ddr2. I'm pretty sure it would be hella expensive
[06:17] <l1Ll1Ll1L> yeah ddr2 is not cheap anymore
[06:19] <l1Ll1Ll1L> carmelo12341, I wonder if it would need an older kernel, I'm trying to find info on that because you made me curious. I wouldn't be surprised if kernel 4.x worked just fine
[06:20] <carmelo12341> yes it is (or at least where I live).
[06:20] <l1Ll1Ll1L> it is cheap? Nice, haven't tried to buy DDR2 in a while but I remember it being much mroe than DDR3 last I looked
[06:21] <carmelo12341> no no, it isn't cheap where I live
[06:22] <carmelo12341> apparently on amazon is just 24$ for 4gb
[06:22] <l1Ll1Ll1L> well that's pretty cheap alright
[06:22] <Dreaman> 1 gb am is not good ide 64 bit
[06:22] <Dreaman> idea
[06:22] <Dreaman> 14.04 lts 32 bit
[06:22] <l1Ll1Ll1L> yeah it is a 32 bit machine
[06:22] <carmelo12341> the main problem I think is the really old gpu.
[06:23] <Dreaman> xubuntu
[06:23] <carmelo12341> that is why I'm asking about the kernel
[06:23] <poutine> Running into an extremely weird issue where I stop being able to discover chromecasts via MDNS until I reboot my ubuntu 16.04.1 machine. I've tried restarting the avahi-daemon service to no avail, any other ideas on where this problem might be occurring?
[06:23] <carmelo12341> and the intel gpu drivers.
[06:23] <l1Ll1Ll1L> fair
[06:23] <l1Ll1Ll1L> well, might be easiest to just make a live USB and see how it goes
[06:24] <Dreaman> xubuntu or lubuntu see
[06:24] <Dreaman> is good
[06:24] <carmelo12341> yeah, I'll try both. If the DE doesn't start, I'll see the option to use an older kernel
[06:24] <l1Ll1Ll1L> alrighty gl
[06:25] <Dreaman> !kernel
[06:25] <Dreaman> see
[06:25] <carmelo12341> thanks fam. See ya later
[06:26] <carmelo12341> you too Dreaman ;)
[06:26] <l1Ll1Ll1L> later
[06:26] <carmelo12341> bye
[06:26] <l1Ll1Ll1L> later
[06:26] <l1Ll1Ll1L> oops lol.
[06:28] <chl_> has anyone had problems with copy/pasting into serial connections over minicom - sorry if its the wrong forum for the question
[06:30] <alocer> How can i export manpage to pdf ?
[06:30] <alocer> any manpage available ?
[06:31] <l1Ll1Ll1L> alocer this seems relevant https://slackerboyabhi.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/converting-man-pages-to-printable-text-file-and-pdf-files/
[06:33] <l1Ll1Ll1L> chl_ I've never used minicom and you probably tried this, but if it is like other terminal emulators I know it is ctrl+shift+c for copy and ctrl+shift+v for paste
[07:02] <arun007> hello
[07:15] <daincredibleholg> Good morning lads and lassis. I was wondering if anyone has a ATI RX500 series (550 in particular) running under Ubuntu 16.04 so that it is recognised as OpenCL device. Graphics ain't a problem
[07:16] <m4dh4tt4> ive got an RX480 or something, works flawless in 16.04, hashcat etc
[07:18] <daincredibleholg> Yeah, 400series seems to be ok
[07:18] <daincredibleholg> but hard to get your hands on, have a 550 here atm
[07:18] <daincredibleholg> do you run ubuntu server, @m4dh4tt4?

[07:40] <poutine> ZSky, did you try googling it?
[07:41] <ZSky> poutine shouldn't trust google which is american-based
[07:41] <ZSky> ;)
[07:41] <poutine> ok did you duckduckgo it?
[07:41] <poutine> is it an OVH server?
[07:42] <ZSky> yes
[07:42] <poutine> https://serverfault.com/questions/534102/strange-syslog-for-my-server
[07:42] <poutine> 3rd result on duckduckgo
[07:42] <poutine> someone mentions in a comment that OVH bundles this with their servers, and it reports some info back to them
[07:43] <Muimi> is there a libreoffice support channel on freenode?
[07:44] <poutine> Muimi, https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ says it is in #libreoffice
[07:45] <ZSky> poutine thanks!
[07:50] <Muimi> If you take a Samsung Galaxy phone's battery out and pull off the wrapper, is it true that a government tracking device is installed?
[07:50] <Muimi> =-O
[07:53] <l1Ll1Ll1L> Muimi, not quite. The Galaxy already is the tracking device.
[07:55] <[PARTY]Varka> must be the reason, the battery can't be taken out as easily as in earlier days ^^

[09:23] <EleanorEllis> In archive-manager, Which compression method will compress a folder and su-folders down to least size for jpeg photos and mp4 videos?
[09:24] <EleanorEllis> Sorry to multiple post but I don't think my irc is working
[09:25] <EleanorEllis> In archive-manager, Which compression method will compress a folder and su-folders down to least size for jpeg photos and mp4 videos? Sorry to multiple post but I don't think my irc is working
[09:27] <ikonia> EleanorEllis: you don't need to keep posting
[09:28] <EleanorEllis> ikonia: Im sorry, I thought my ssl settings were preventing connection to irc so I was trying after disabling each thing.
[09:28] <ikonia> no problem, it's working fine
[09:29] <EleanorEllis> Thanks. I've been trying to install encryption and OTR messaging but I dont think it works very well in pidgin 2.10.12
[09:29] <Soul_Sample> EleanorEllis: it depends on the files you plan to compress, check out this comparison https://binfalse.de/2011/04/04/comparison-of-compression/
[09:29] <Soul_Sample> EleanorEllis: you'll probably have to try out multiple methods and see which works best
[09:30] <EleanorEllis> It's basically my home directory to move it to another machine. There are a lot of jpeg photos at high quality and mp4 videos at web quality
[09:30] <EleanorEllis> Soul_Sample:^^
[09:35] <EleanorEllis> Soul_Sample: thanks
[09:39] <Soul_Sample> EleanorEllis: sorry I can't be more helpful. but also have in mind that zip doesn't preserve file permissions, while tar and tar.gz do!
[09:39] <Soul_Sample> EleanorEllis: if it's a home folder, maybe you need some file permissions preserved
[09:39] <EleanorEllis> Soul_Sample: Yes I do

[10:22] <pandaadb> Hello - i have created a custom launcher in ~/.local/share/application - i can't find it in the unity launcher though. I might be missing an update command so that unity re-reads that directory
[10:22] <pandaadb> Or is there something else I am forgetting maybe?
[10:23] <pandaadb> Essentially, i ran my command from the terminal and then locked it. I then modified the file to change the name, but am still seeing the old name
[10:26] <pandaadb> and it appears that log out/ log in does not help either
[10:26] <kristian__> mcphail: could you please help me?

[11:00] <Wulf> Hi
[11:00] <Wulf> Running openvpn on 16.04 in aws cloud. For some strange reasons, openvpn gets access denied on /run/openvpn, although it runs as root. Any hints?
[11:03] <ikonia> Wulf: it's in memory /run
[11:03] <ikonia> Wulf: it also forks the process
[11:03] <ikonia> it's launched as root but not run as root
[11:03] <Wulf> ikonia: I can't see fork/clone
[11:04] <ikonia> what do you mean you can't see it
[11:04] <Wulf> strace
[11:05] <ikonia> Wulf: there should be a config parameter which is runas or openvpn user (it's notmally openvpn) and thats the user it runs as
[11:05] <ikonia> how it forks I don't know, I've not looked at it (as I've not had cause to)
[11:05] <ikonia> Wulf: I had something similar using the enterprise version as I hadn't changed the user and the default user on the enterprise is openvpn-as
[11:09] <Wulf> ikonia: sorry, I can't follow
[11:09] <ikonia> Wulf: how did you install openvpn
[11:09] <Wulf> apt-get install openvpn
[11:10] <ikonia> (I'm sorry I've not got an ubuntu box in front of me so may ask you some dumb clarifications)
[11:10] <ikonia> Wulf: in /etc/passwd is there an openvpn user
[11:10] <Wulf> It must be some systemd related fuckup
[11:10] <ikonia> Wulf: tone down the language please
[11:10] <Wulf> ok, "systemd". Better?
[11:11] <ikonia> Wulf: check if you have the user in question ?
[11:11] <Wulf> ikonia: yes, there is. But how does it matter?
[11:11] <ikonia> Wulf: you'll find that is the user that is being used to run the openvpn server
[11:11] <ikonia> Wulf: so that is the user that will need access to /run/openvpn
[11:11] <Wulf> well, it's not. openvpn is started as root.
[11:12] <ikonia> Wulf: how are you starting it ?
[11:12] <Wulf> systemd starts it.
[11:12] <ikonia> Wulf: right, and it will seperate it to that user
[11:12] <Wulf> systemctl start openvpn
[11:12] <Wulf> no, openvpn needs to run as root to create network interfaces etc.
[11:12] <ikonia> Wulf: if you allow openvpn user access to that directory you'll find it works
[11:12] <Wulf> (it will setuid later)
[11:13] <ikonia> Wulf: yes, not the process though, it creates the tun devices but runs the daemon as non-root
[11:13] <Wulf> why would systemd create.. nevermind. SYSTEMD!
[11:13] <Wulf> Anyway, I double checked. It's started as root by systemd.
[11:14] <ikonia> I don't have a box at hand to confirm it, but I hit the same problem migrating between openvpn and openvpn enterprise as I took the same config over and openvpn enterprise uses the user "openvpnas" so my config was wrong
[11:14] <ikonia> (and thus my permissions)
[11:16] <Wulf> hmm.. now I changed some stuff around and restarted the server. Works.
[11:16] <Wulf> Really strange.
[11:16] <tsarompy> wut
[11:17] <ikonia> Wulf: what did you change ?
[11:17] <Wulf> ikonia: I had created a temp directory before in /etc/tmpfiles.d/
[11:23] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[11:28] <tsarompy> hi BluesKaj

[11:36] <Ben64> !details | sven^
[11:36] <tsarompy> have you tried searching with apt
[11:36] <tsarompy> like
[11:36] <BluesKaj> I ran it with 4G Ram fot many yrs until I increased to 6G , made some difference, but the most speed diff was switching to ssd
[11:36] <tsarompy> say you had that problem with amarok
[11:36] <tsarompy> apt search amarok
[11:36] <tsarompy> etc
[11:36] <tsarompy> it might have a diff package name
[11:36] <tsarompy> if you tell me the name of the package i can try to help

[11:40] <sven^> is that enough?
[11:41] <sven^> I am usually not a ubuntu user so I don't really know my way around apt
[11:42] <sven^> Ben64

[11:44] <sven^> and wh does apt-cache find it? And how do I fix that?
[11:44] <sven^> my noobish assumption is that there are some corrupted package files
[11:44] <Ben64> nope, it got removed after 12.04
[11:45] <sven^> so how do I fix my problem?
[11:45] <Ben64> find a different program or compile it
[11:46] <sven^> I don't want it. I want to fix my corrcupted apt-cache db
[11:46] <Ben64> it isn't
[11:46] <tsarompy> what package are you lookin for sven^
[11:47] <tsarompy> and what version of ubuntu are you runnin
[11:47] <sven^> oh dude. If you don't want to help, don't talk to me or use that stupid bot on me, Ben64
[11:48] <Ben64> sven^: whats with the attitude? the package doesn't exist, nothing is corrupt

[11:48] <sven^> so why is it found by apt-cache? It seems to exist there
[11:48] <Ben64> there are still references to it
[11:48] <sven^> ok, how do I fix that?
[11:49] <Ben64> you don't
[11:49] <tsarompy> do you have backports enabled
[11:49] <Ben64> there is no problem, don't make it one
[11:49] <tsarompy> it would be helpful if i knew what package youre trying to install
[11:49] <tsarompy> (:
[11:49] <Ben64> tsarompy: it's xlockmore
[11:50] <sven^> sorry, tsarompy, it was in the pase
[11:50] <sven^> yeah, backports are enabled
[11:51] <tsarompy> well
[11:51] <tsarompy> heres a link to the source
[11:51] <scottjl> http://sillycycle.com/xlock/ so grab the source from there, compile it.
[11:51] <tsarompy> http://sillycycle.com/xlock/recent-releases/xlockmore-5.53.tar.xz
[11:51] <tsarompy> ya
[11:51] <tsarompy> what is it, a screen locker?
[11:52] <tsarompy> oh i see nvm
[11:52] <mmmm> Hello, I have a problem that started happening recently. Sometimes my single left clicks from my mouse are registered as double clicks. I've tried looking online but nothing seems to fix it.
[11:52] <scottjl> mmmm: sure it's not a bad mouse button?
[11:52] <tsarompy> whats your double click time set to
[11:53] <mmmm> scottjl: I'm not a 100% but it's a relatively new mouse and it wasn't broken just a few weeks ago
[11:53] <scottjl> buttons go. :-(
[11:53] <tsarompy> have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in
[11:53] <scottjl> i had a right mouse button go a few weeks ago. turned out there was dust in it, blew some air through it and problem gone.
[11:53] <sven^> hmm, well, it's a screenlocker someone on this machine used some time ago. I actually don't want to install it, I just want to purge it from apt-cache, since it doesn't exist anymore
[11:53] <tsarompy> sorry i just wanted to say that
[11:53] <tsarompy> lol
[11:54] <scottjl> sven^: dpkg --list | grep xlock  - if it doesn't show up, it's not installed, don't worry about it
[11:55] <sven^> scottjl: it shows up
[11:55] <mmmm> tsarompy: I've blown in mine too now
[11:55] <scottjl> then apt purge <packagename>
[11:55] <tsarompy> yea
[11:55] <tsarompy> ^
[11:55] <mmmm> didn't fix it ^^
[11:56] <scottjl> apt-cache shows information about all packages available to the system, it doesn't mean they are actually installed, just meta information in the cache
[11:56] <tsarompy> sven^ xfce screensaver is way cooler anyways
[11:56] <sven^> tsarompy: I am using i3lock and am pretty happy with it
[11:56] <tsarompy> nice
[11:56] <tsarompy> i3 is the jam
[11:57] <sven^> scottjl: thanks! why can apt purge remove it and apt-get remove cannot?
[11:57] <tsarompy> prob cause its not in the pool
[11:57] <tsarompy> did you upgrade from a previous ubuntu
[11:58] <scottjl> apt (or apt-get) remove takes out the binaries but not config info, purge will remove all traces. i suggest you read the man pages for apt-get and apt if you want to know more details (and you should before reading random commands strangers throw out at you on the internet)
[11:58] <tsarompy> lol
[11:58] <tsarompy> he right tho
[11:59] <mmmm> tsarompy: Swapping usb socket seems to have fixed it
[11:59] <tsarompy> dude no way
[11:59] <tsarompy> hahahahaha
[11:59] <mmmm> Thank you so much i had no idea that could even be an issue
[11:59] <tsarompy> hahaha
[11:59] <tsarompy> omg
[11:59] <tsarompy> i was just messing with you but im glad it worked
[12:00] <mmmm> Computers eh
[12:00] <tsarompy> i have a mouse issue myself. i got drunk and left my laptop out in the rain and now only the left half of my touchpad works
[12:00] <tsarompy> ive learned to scroll very carefully
[12:14] <im0nde> Hi I just created a lubuntu usb stick with dd, but cant get it to boot. I also tried a manjaro image which boots without problems. When I select the stick with the lubuntu image, a short error is displayed for about half a second "no file /boot/ found"
[12:15] <tsarompy> how'd you make it
[12:15] <tsarompy> did you use dd
[12:15] <tsarompy> oh
[12:15] <tsarompy> derp
[12:15] <im0nde> I also cant mount the image on another linux pc. Dont know if thats normal but I could mount the manjarp
[12:15] <tsarompy> did you check to see if the file mightve gotten borked when you downloaded it
[12:15] <ouroumov> im0nde, after dd did you use the "sync" command?
[12:15] <tsarompy> ^
[12:16] <im0nde> ouroumov: yes i did " sudo dd if=Downloads/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc status=progress && bs=4M sync"
[12:16] <im0nde> i also checked the checksum
[12:16] <ouroumov> im0nde, your "&&" is not on the right side of "bs"
[12:17] <im0nde> ouroumov: oh shit
[12:18]  * im0nde facepalms
[12:18] <im0nde> funny though that the other image worked anyway
[12:26] <im0nde> ouroumov: tsarompy burned the  image again, with correct dd. Same problem :(
[12:27] <im0nde> As I said I also cant mount the stick on my other machine. I get this error https://imgur.com/a/LLdaw
[12:33] <itayo> Hi all. I have a little dilemma. I have  a clean ubuntu install and need to create a deb mirror partially. based on what package i select and its dependencies. Been trying to google around to find a soluiton but cant find what im looking for
[12:33] <itayo> anyone have any suggestion
[12:34] <itayo> the main packages comes from a 3rd party mirror (ROS) and i need to be able to get the dependencies needed by the packages i select from there
[12:38] <kristian_on_linu> hi all
[12:38] <kristian_on_linu> urm ... I was updating libpoppler and managed to mess up my login
[12:39] <kristian_on_linu> now I get lightdm (I think) and no sound upon login
[12:39] <kristian_on_linu> no menu bar at the top
[12:52] <monsieur_h> Heya sorry to bother you. I used to have a really nice blueish wallpaper on ubuntu 16.XX (DE: Unity). It was kind of a electric spaky thing. I can't find it. I've been looking for it for ages. It was in the default set of wallpapers you get out of the box. Could anyone help ?
[12:53] <tsarompy> ooh
[12:53] <tsarompy> what do you mean by blueish
[12:54] <xangua> monsieur_h: you can install previous Ubuntu artwork from the repository
[12:54] <tsarompy> you gotta describe it better than that
[12:55] <kristian_on_linu> I tried dpkg-reconfigure gdm and such, but no luck
[12:55] <monsieur_h> xangua: except i switched to another distro since :(
[12:55] <monsieur_h> tsarompy: so its mostly blue, and there is an electric arc or wave traversing the screen
[12:56] <monsieur_h> is abstract, really, doesn't represent any actual shape
[12:56] <tsarompy> ok
[12:56] <monsieur_h> i think it's the only blue one of the set
[12:56] <Soul_Sample> monsieur_h: which distro did you switch to?
[12:57] <tsarompy> is it this?
[12:57] <tsarompy> http://wallpaper-gallery.net/images/ubuntu-default-wallpaper/ubuntu-default-wallpaper-19.jpg
[12:57] <scottjl> that looks like something out of electric sheep
[12:58] <tsarompy> >.>
[13:00] <im0nde> Anyone can help me with my live-usb boot problem?
[13:00] <sven^> scottjl: I did actually look into the man pages and I know what purge does. I still don't get why apt can find and remove a package and apt-get cannot. I did not read the whole man page
[13:01] <scottjl> if apt can find it, aptitude and apt-get should certainly be able to. they all work off the same database.
[13:01] <monsieur_h> tsarompy: Your my savior !
[13:01] <monsieur_h> This is the one I was looking for !
[13:01] <tsarompy> no way
[13:01] <tsarompy> awesome
[13:01] <monsieur_h> Soul_Sample: (I switched to arch)
[13:04] <sven^> scottjl: well, that was exactly the problem. apt-get remove xlockmore said 'package not found' and apt purge xlockmore removed it without any problems. Well, it's solved now, so thank you again
[13:09] <sven^> scottjl: http://sprunge.us/WGhA
[13:19] <acresearch> people i need help. my ubuntu 17.04 gnome is at wack, mouse stopped working, things are not stable. i am trying to format my computer and re-install it but it is not working, i am unable to burn the iso into a DVD and when i make a start up USB it refuses to automount and cannot boot from it. PLEASE help me
[13:30] <acresearch> anyone here?
[13:39] <scottjl> so you believe your current installation isn't working properly and you have no other way to create boot media?
[13:39] <acresearch> scottjl: true
[13:39] <scottjl> not sure anyone can offer any help.
[13:39] <acresearch> scottjl: oh
[13:39] <scottjl> unless you can diagnose what's wrong with your current install.
[13:40] <acresearch> scottjl: i rather just format it and start fresh
[13:40] <acresearch> scottjl: i already backup my documents
[13:40] <scottjl> well unless you can create boot media from another computer
[13:40] <scottjl> that is working ok
[13:40] <acresearch> scottjl: unfortunatly at my universtiy all the computers are windows
[13:41] <scottjl> you can't burn an iso from a windows box?
[13:41] <acresearch> scottjl: hmmm, let me see
[13:41] <scottjl> windows is certainly capable of burning an iso
[13:41] <scottjl> or writing an ubuntu boot image out to usb
[13:41] <acresearch> scottjl: i haven't used windows since 2005, let me see if i can figure it out
[13:42] <DArqueBishop> You can use Rufus in Windows to create a bootable USB installer from the ISO.
[13:42] <scottjl> https://itsfoss.com/create-live-usb-of-ubuntu-in-windows/
[13:44] <acresearch> i don't have access to the computer system
[13:44] <acresearch> i don't have access to the computer network system
[13:45] <acresearch> is there no way of understanding why ubuntu won't make good live USBs?
[13:46] <scottjl> it is capable of making live usb's.
[13:46] <ikonia> define "won't make good"
[13:46] <scottjl> why your particular system can't, we don't know.
[13:46] <ikonia> and explain how you are trying to create them
[13:48] <acresearch> , but when i eject and re-insert the usb it does not mount, I have to go to Disks and manually mount it, when it does everything seems to be in order inside it,,, therefore when i start the computer and try to boot from usb it does not mount and therefore does not see it. when i look at the USB in disks it says: partition type Hidden HPFS/NTFS (Bootable)
[13:48] <acresearch> ok , i downloaded 17.04 unity anf gnome (to see if any of them work), i use the startup disk creator. it says it is successful
[13:49] <ikonia> acresearch: why are you trying to mount an install USB
[13:49] <ikonia> you're supposed to boot from it
[13:49] <acresearch> sorry, read second line before first (example of broken system)
[13:49] <ikonia> not mount it
[13:49] <acresearch> ikonia: read to the end, it explains why
[13:49] <ikonia> no it doesn't
[13:49] <ikonia> what is the exact error you get when you try to boot from it
[13:49] <acresearch> ikonia:  ok i'll try again, when i try to boot it does not mount,
[13:50] <ikonia> "it does not mount" - that means nothing
[13:50] <ikonia> it's a compressed file system
[13:50] <acresearch> ikonia: no error, just does not exist
[13:50] <acresearch> ikonia: no error, just does not show up
[13:50] <ikonia> "does not exist" what doesn't ?
[13:50] <acresearch> the usb
[13:50] <ikonia> acresearch: you seem to just be saying things like "does not mount" - how do you know it doesn't "mount"
[13:50] <ikonia> and "does not exist" what does not exist ?
[13:51] <acresearch> when i put the usb in the computer it does not show up from the OS
[13:51] <ikonia> when you put in an the install media and try to boot it - what happens
[13:51] <ikonia> not "what you think is happening" what actually happens
[13:51] <ikonia> show up from the OS ?
[13:51] <ikonia> how can it show up from the OS - you're booting it, it IS the OS
[13:51] <ikonia> so is it booting the USB ?
[13:51] <acresearch> ikonia: what actually happens is that no usb to start the install from it shows up
[13:51] <acresearch> there is no booting from usb
[13:51] <ikonia> acresearch: so when you try to boot it - what actually happens
[13:51] <acresearch> ikonia: nothing
[13:52] <ikonia> no - something must happen
[13:52] <ikonia> what actually happens, what do you see on screen
[13:52] <acresearch> ikonia: ok bare with me for 1 second
[13:52] <acresearch> 1 - i insert live usb
[13:52] <acresearch> 2 - i power off
[13:52] <acresearch> 3 - i restart
[13:52] <acresearch> 4 - i go to boot menu
[13:52] <acresearch> 5 - no usb
[13:52] <ikonia> ok - so your machine does not support booting from usb
[13:53] <ikonia> there you go
[13:53] <acresearch> ikonia: it does, that is how i initially installed linux
[13:53] <zeekhuge> Hi ! I have this problem on Ubuntu16.04 that after resuming from a suspend, my screen color converts to blue/green, mostly the part of the screen closer to the boundaries. Any idea how to fix that ?
[13:53] <ikonia> acresearch: then the key is having a problem
[13:53] <sisve> I am trying to upgrade an existing installation of jenkins and do "sudo apt-get install jenkins". Apt-get finds the package, but never starts the installation. Instead I am dropped back to the terminal without any errors. How would I start debugging this? https://kopy.io/hNxGa
[13:53] <acresearch> ikonia: hmmm
[13:53] <ikonia> acresearch: as if it doesn't even show the device - thats nothing to do with the OS, thats the bios not being able to see it as a dumb device
[13:54] <acresearch> ikonia: i did buy it this morning, is there a way to find out from the USB? or change the setting in it?
[13:54] <ikonia> acresearch: find out what ? change what settings ?
[13:54] <acresearch> ikonia: from the usb to make it bootable
[13:55] <ikonia> acresearch: is this your personal computer ?
[13:55] <tsarompy> oh
[13:55] <acresearch> ikonia: yes
[13:55] <tsarompy> how did you write the image acresearch
[13:55] <acresearch> using the startup disk creator
[13:55] <tsarompy> in windows?
[13:55] <acresearch> in ubuntu
[13:55] <tsarompy> why dont you use dd
[13:56] <tsarompy> dd always works
[13:56] <acresearch> the writing process seems to be fine, no error or anything, like ikonia said, it could be the USB
[13:56] <ikonia> sisve: re-rerun apt-get update and then apt-get install jenkins
[13:56] <ikonia> sisve: see what it does
[13:56] <tsarompy> um
[13:56] <ikonia> acresearch: no, if the writing process is fine the usb is fine
[13:56] <ikonia> acresearch: however if your BIOS can't even see a USB stick - that is nothing to do with ubuntu/the install on it
[13:57] <sisve> ikonia: update gives no error messages and contains stuff like "Hit http://pkg.jenkins.io binary/ Release" and "Hit http://pkg.jenkins.io binary/ Packages", but the install still stops as before.
[13:57] <ikonia> that is your BIOS being unable to identify a dumb device being plugged in
[13:57]  * zeekhuge something like this : https://ibb.co/jcv9Cv
[13:57] <ikonia> sisve: dpkg -i | grep jenkins
[13:57] <tsarompy> plug in your usb drive, open a terminal and type dmesg | tail, it will give you a block device name. usually something along the lines of /dev/sdb. use dd with sudo or root to write the iso onto the stick
[13:57] <acresearch> ikonia: ok one moment, mouse doesn't work so it takes time to copy paste commands to different windows
[13:58] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok
[13:58] <sisve> ikonia: "dpkg: error: --install needs at least one package archive file argument" so guessing that wasn't the right command.
[13:58] <ikonia> acresearch: I've not asked for any comands
[13:58] <ikonia> sisve: oops, idiot, dpkg -l
[13:58] <ikonia> sisve: sorry, typo
[13:58] <sisve> ikonia: "ii  jenkins [snip] 2.46.3 [snip] all [snip] Jenkins is an open source automation server..."
[13:58] <sisve> ikonia: i removed lots of whitespaces used for table format.
[13:58] <tsarompy> i mean
[13:59] <tsarompy> this is pretty unnecessary
[13:59] <ikonia> sisve: interesting, so it sees it as already installed
[13:59] <ikonia> sisve: which would explain why it does nothing
[13:59] <ikonia> sisve: but doesn't explain why it thinks it needs to install it
[13:59] <sisve> ikonia: there should be new version for me to upgrade to.
[13:59] <ikonia> sisve: why do you think that ?
[14:00] <sisve> ikonia: http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/ and the notifications within the jenkins ui. and their homepage.
[14:00] <acresearch> tsarompy: how so i find my usb /dev/sdc   number?
[14:01] <zeekhuge> and restarting compiz fixes it.
[14:01] <ikonia> sisve: 2.46.3 is the last one in the 2.46 release
[14:01] <ikonia> sisve: apt-cache policy jenkins
[14:01] <sisve> ikonia: I didn't know that i had such version constraints active. Can I edit it?
[14:01] <Tuxtoriel> Hello everybody! :·)    Silly question, but just to make sure, it is possible to install the latest 4.12 kernel under 16.04LTS, isn't it?
[14:01] <ikonia> sisve: version constraints ?
[14:01] <tsarompy> you dont need the number acresearch
[14:01] <tsarompy> you write to the whole device
[14:01] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok
[14:01] <sisve> ikonia: "Installed: 2.46.3" "Candidate: 2.60.1-1"
[14:02] <ikonia> Tuxtoriel: why do you want that ?
[14:02] <tsarompy> sudo dd if=/path/to/your/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M;sync
[14:02] <tsarompy> make 100% SURE ITS /dev/sdc
[14:02] <sisve> ikonia: here's the output. https://kopy.io/K8mT8
[14:02] <ikonia> sisve: interesting, so it's expecting to take it to 2.60
[14:02] <acresearch> tsarompy: this is the command correct?
[14:02] <acresearch> sudo dd bs=4M if=ubuntu-gnome-17.04-desktop-i386.iso of=/dev/sdc && sync
[14:02] <Tuxtoriel> ikonia: I need the latest uvc module version.
[14:02] <tsarompy> ive never written it that way lol
[14:02] <tsarompy> id suggest mine
[14:03] <acresearch> tsarompy: sorry i found it from the ubuntu forum
[14:03] <acresearch> ok
[14:03] <ikonia> Tuxtoriel: you can use the mainline kernel
[14:03] <bnason> Has anyone used ssmtp before? I can't get it to let me set my own From header.
[14:04] <acresearch> tsarompy: nothing happened, it finished in 3 seconds, and there is nothing in the USB
[14:04] <scottjl> bnason: http://tosbourn.com/allowing-your-own-from-header-with-ssmtp/ ?
[14:04] <tsarompy> um what
[14:04] <tsarompy> check your iso
[14:04] <bnason> scottjl, yea, I have that parameter in my config
[14:05] <Tuxtoriel> ikonia: ok, thanks! :·) So no 4.12 officially?
[14:05] <scottjl> hmm no idea then. i was just searching google.
[14:05] <tsarompy> actually acresearch if your iso download is borked it makes sense it wouldnt boot
[14:05] <acresearch> Tuxtoriel: it seems fine, 1.5 GB
[14:05] <bnason> thanks
[14:05] <tsarompy> what did you type acresearch
[14:05] <acresearch> tsarompy: i downloaded a fresh one after the first one failed to boot, got the same result
[14:06] <scottjl> bnason: apparently ssmtp isn't developed any longer, people suggest using msmtp
[14:06] <acresearch> tsarompy: sorry, mouse if broken, keeps moving text up
[14:06] <donofrio> quick way to stitch two jpegs so they are side by side full res.....
[14:06] <jink> donofrio: Imagemagick?
[14:07] <scottjl> copy and paste in gimp
[14:07] <bnason> scottjl, interesting! hadn't read that yet, thanks!
[14:07] <tsarompy> donofrio: hugin
[14:07] <scottjl> bnason: http://msmtp.sourceforge.net/
[14:08] <donofrio> tsarompy, looks like a winne
[14:08] <acresearch> tsarompy: your same command
[14:08] <Tuxtoriel> ok, thanks! :·)
[14:08] <donofrio> winner
[14:08] <donofrio> I meant
[14:08] <acresearch> tsarompy: of course with correct path to iso
[14:08] <tsarompy> >:|
[14:09] <tsarompy> acresearch: can you opem /dev/sdc in cfdisk and tell me what you see
[14:09] <acresearch> sudo cfdisk shows /dev/sda1    and /dev/sda2  only
[14:10] <acresearch> but the usb is mounted in the desktop
[14:10] <tsarompy> yeah you dont need to mount it to write to it with dd
[14:11] <acresearch> tsarompy: i should unmount?
[14:11] <tsarompy> ya
[14:11] <tsarompy> unmount and try again
[14:11] <acresearch> same thing tsarompy 3 seconds and stops,, nothing in usb
[14:12] <tsarompy> >:|
[14:12] <tsarompy> check dmesg | tail and see if you see anything
[14:12] <acresearch> tsarompy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25075431/
[14:13] <BluesKaj> dd will fail id you maoun the drive and also nake sure use sdx ,not  sdxX with dd
[14:13] <BluesKaj> mount
[14:13] <acresearch> BluesKaj: but it also fails when i run the command on unmounted usb
[14:14]  * BluesKaj sheds mor\e light on the KB
[14:14] <tsarompy> thats all it says???? usb: ??
[14:14] <tsarompy> tf
[14:14] <tsarompy> hmmm
[14:14] <tsarompy> let me think
[14:15] <tsarompy> okay can you unplug it and plug it back in then paste what dmesg | tail says please acresearch
[14:15] <BluesKaj> acresearch, are you writing an iso
[14:15] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok
[14:15] <tsarompy> yeah, it sounds like dd is failing immediately
[14:15] <tsarompy> HMMMM
[14:15] <scottjl> bad jumpdrive?
[14:16] <acresearch> tsarompy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25075451/
[14:16] <acresearch> BluesKaj: yes
[14:17] <BluesKaj> acresearch, post your dd command
[14:17] <tsarompy> lol
[14:17] <tsarompy> youre writing to the wrong disk
[14:17] <tsarompy> hahaha
[14:17] <acresearch> tsarompy: oh
[14:17] <tsarompy> sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M;sync
[14:17] <tsarompy> lawl
[14:17] <tsarompy> try it again
[14:17] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok :-)
[14:18] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok hasn't exited yet
[14:18] <tsarompy> yea
[14:18] <acresearch> :-)
[14:18] <tsarompy> if theres a light on your drive it should be blinking if its writing
[14:18] <tsarompy> i was gonna say like
[14:18] <tsarompy> dd is the gold standard
[14:18] <tsarompy> it always works
[14:18] <acresearch> tsarompy: no light :-( can't tell, but i trust you  :-)
[14:18] <scottjl> if it hasn't come back it's busy
[14:19] <donofrio> tsarompy, it doesn't just let me put two photo's together seems to overlap them ;(
[14:19] <acresearch> tsarompy: i will save this command in my command notes (i have a file to learn commands)    it is important command
[14:19] <scottjl> in the future, adding status=progress to dd will show progress during copy
[14:19] <scottjl> or pipe thru pv.
[14:19] <tsarompy> wut
[14:19] <tsarompy> i never knew about status=progress
[14:19] <scottjl> it's a non-standard flag but supported in linux
[14:20] <scottjl> personally i pipe thru pv
[14:20] <scottjl> dd if=/iso | pv | dd of=/dev/blah
[14:22] <acresearch> tsarompy: ok it just finished 150 seconds
[14:22] <acresearch> there are files in the USB
[14:22] <acresearch> i will restart and try to boot, if i am back you know it failed
[14:22] <tsarompy> okay
[14:22] <tsarompy> i think you got it
[14:22] <tsarompy> in the future
[14:23] <tsarompy> like
[14:23] <tsarompy> make a separate /home parition
[14:23] <tsarompy> so if you have to reinstall you can keep your files
[14:23] <tsarompy> should be fine if you keep the same username otherwise chown it
[14:24] <BluesKaj> he can still mak3e separate / and /home partitions if he uses gparted to create them before installing
[14:27] <acresearch> Hello?
[14:27] <acresearch> Anyone here?
[14:27] <ikonia> yup
[14:28] <acresearch> Computer no os
[14:28] <acresearch> Texting from mobile phone.
[14:28] <acresearch> No os and no startup USB
[14:28] <acresearch> I am stuck. Please help.
[14:30] <acresearch> I need to do my work.
[14:32] <acresearch> Come on this is no joke.
[14:32] <ouroumov> acresearch, please explain how you got there.
[14:33] <acresearch> Someone told me to use dd to make a live USB , now no live USB and no os in my computer.
[14:33] <acresearch> I am stuck
[14:33] <ouroumov> acresearch, someone should have warned you that dd is dangerous, you most likely used the wrong "of" target and nuked your installation.
[14:34] <acresearch> Dam him
[14:35] <ouroumov> acresearch, there is nothing we can do to help, you need to acquire a new live USB and reinstall.
[14:35] <BluesKaj> acresearch,I told you to post the command so we could check it, but you didn't and left before we had a chance to warn you
[14:36] <acresearch> I did post it. Look up.
[14:36] <zenguy> hey when i try to run ubuntu 17.04 installation on a x299 lga 2066 with gtx 1060 i get a blank screen after the "try ubuntu" "install ubuntu" screen
[14:36] <zenguy> i think it's that nomode thing with nvidia? but i don't know how to fix it
[14:37] <zenguy> i'm using usb installation media too
[14:37] <zenguy> would really like to run linux on this setup, should i try 16.04 instead?
[14:39] <zenguy> https://askubuntu.com/questions/836239/ubuntu-16-04-doesnt-seem-to-see-my-gtx-1060-gpu ??
[14:53] <zenguy> hmm well that didn't work
[14:53] <zenguy> i don't think gigabyte aorus has secure boot setting or doesn't call it that
[14:54] <zenguy> so strange this 1060 wasn't a problem booting in my i7 3770K but on this i7 X series kaby it's no go
[14:57] <ofer> I had /boot on /dev/md0 and / on /dev/md1. I moved /boot into /dev/md1 and now I boot from it. In order to do it I changed GRUB's menu.lst (hd0 -> hd1). Now on each upgrade, apt-get suggests that I'll change hd1 back to hd0, which will of course cause the system not to boot. How to change the disk so that apt-get will know that I'm using hd1 now ?
[15:01] <shadow1809> ben64 sorry for bothering you again.... But is it always such a hassle with Ubuntu?
[15:01] <shadow1809> First it was the GPU .. we solved that fairly easy to redo now... Now the keyboard is malfunctioning and randomly skips keystrokes...
[15:01] <donofrio> so if screen doesn't work (required for do-release-upgrade) can I switch it out for tmux?
[15:02] <shadow1809> as ou can see if i type normaly i jst sips keystrokes like this and its prety damn annoing
[15:03] <donofrio> does anyone else here have broken screen command (mine just says [Terminated]
[15:10] <shadow1809> whatever screw ubuntu.... WAY to much of a hassle to remotely get it to function NORMALLY. what the fuck man, last time im trying something new.. This more broken then OSX....
[15:11] <ikonia> shadow1809: tone down the language
[15:11] <ikonia> there is no need for it
[15:11] <nacc> donofrio: are you trying to do this in the ubuwin env?
[15:11] <nacc> shadow1809: no one is forcing you to use ubuntu, afaict
[15:12] <arun007> shadow1809: very bad language
[15:12] <shadow1809> Yeah w/e you're right nacc I am done with this broken ass piece of shit.
[15:12] <shadow1809> Goodday
[15:12] <arun007> Hi all I am from India
[15:13] <arun007> hi sgen
[15:13] <sgen> hi
[15:13] <nacc> arun007: do you have a support question?
[15:14] <arun007> nacc: waiting for ident response is a bit long
[15:16] <arun007> nacc: anyway to skip checking for ident response
[15:18] <nacc> arun007: in your irc client?
[15:19] <zenguy> hmm interesting that 16.04.2 works in vmware with a few systems errors hehe and 240 updates, i wonder if any of those updates are required for booting into 16.04.2 to install it
[15:19] <zenguy> install it on the physical system
[15:19] <arun007> nacc: ya
[15:19] <zenguy> i think at this point i should've got a ryzen lol
[15:20] <jliles> I'm loving my 1700X at home
[15:20] <ikonia> 16.04.X works fine with vmware, fully compatible
[15:21] <nacc> arun007: that's more of a thing that the server (irc server) decides on, not really an ubuntu support topic
[15:21] <urgodfather> does anyone have experience with lftp?
[15:21] <zenguy> yah i bet, this i7 X series and x299 mobo has some issues come to find out
[15:22] <urgodfather> i am banging my head trying to get ftp with tls to work
[15:22] <zenguy> i do have the revision 1.0 mobo so i'm hoping the hot temp vrm is resolved
[15:22] <ikonia> urgodfather: lftp, don't see that very often
[15:22] <zenguy> i actually like ubuntu 16.04.2 on my i7 3770k better lol
[15:23] <urgodfather> yeah, my applicaton is actually not an ubuntu enviro... but lftp is lftp
[15:23] <ikonia> urgodfather: not something we support here though
[15:23] <urgodfather> aww... come on
[15:23] <ikonia> urgodfather: we only actually support ubuntu here, and different distros/envs impliment it in different ways
[15:24] <ikonia> urgodfather: sorry,
[15:24] <urgodfather> someone in here has experience with it
[15:24] <ikonia> urgodfather: please don't canvas for help in this channel
[15:24] <urgodfather> lftp is lftp
[15:24] <ikonia> urgodfather: no, it's not
[15:24] <urgodfather> how so
[15:24] <ikonia> different OS/distros implement things different, different default settings, in some case different daemons or versions of the daemons
[15:25] <urgodfather> so... if i make a vm with ubuntu on it and install lftp... will you help then?
[15:25] <ikonia> hence why we only support the ubuntu environment here
[15:25] <ikonia> urgodfather: no, because you're trying to just get around the issue
[15:25] <urgodfather> that will take all of 5 mins
[15:25] <scottjl> you don't go to a VW dealership for work on your BMW.
[15:25] <ikonia> urgodfather: what distro are you actually using to host client/server lftp
[15:25] <urgodfather> and your avoiding it
[15:25] <ikonia> urgodfather: I'm not avoiding it at all, what distro are you currently running on ?
[15:25] <scottjl> maybe you should try the lftp channel?
[15:26] <arun007> nacc: okey
[15:26] <urgodfather> its a synology... but they dont know either.. and at least they have the courtesy of saying i dont know
[15:26] <ikonia> urgodfather: the disk NAS thing ?
[15:26] <scottjl> maybe try #linux ?
[15:26] <urgodfather> im in there too
[15:27] <urgodfather> all lurkers no reply's
[15:27] <scottjl> well you can't expect a reply if no one knows the answer.
[15:30] <setre> does anyone know of a web application that can manage ssh authorized_keys on a server?
[15:31] <zent_>   /join #linux
[15:31] <ikonia> setre: you're better off with something like an ldap instance that hosts the keys
[15:32] <zenguy> hey how do you make a startup disk with all the latest updates in ubuntu in a vm
[15:32] <setre> ikonia: I'm used to adding authorized keys via services like github and bitbucket. I'm considering making a small web application for this if I can't find one.
[15:32] <akik> setre: there's a solution by ssh communications corp. but it's probably proprietary solution https://www.ssh.com/products/universal-ssh-key-manager/
[15:33] <setre> akik: thanks
[15:33] <ikonia> setre: ahhh, you mean the remote keys, not local keys for your host
[15:33] <scottjl> i use puppet to manage keys.
[15:33] <setre> scottjl: interesting
[15:33] <scottjl> but i also manage keys for dozens of developers on a few hundred servers.
[15:33] <setre> ah yes
[15:33] <scottjl> overkill for one person
[15:34] <iBdaOGtripleOG> matt, I can do this all day
[15:34] <setre> I see. I just had the problem with passwordless login that I not always had the correct device with me to access my server
[15:35] <scottjl> ssh-copy-id is useful for pushing keys to a server for one person
[15:35] <setre> scottjl: thank you
[15:49] <donofrio> nacc, yep
[15:49] <donofrio> tried the screen-setup.c method but to fixed ;(
[15:50] <donofrio> nacc, thinking I need it to get do-release-upgrade
[15:50] <nacc> donofrio: i find it very frustrating that you keep ignoring that it's not supported here. It's not really ubuntu. It's a special thing that Microsoft has, that most of us don't use or run.
[15:50] <nacc> donofrio: e.g., there is no screen support, i guess
[15:51] <nacc> donofrio: and if you're using WSL or whatever, that's even more Microsoft-y and less supportable here
[15:53] <donofrio> nacc, I never intended to frustrate anyone, just figure when I run ubuntu 14.04 this would be a good place to come and share....
[15:54] <nacc> donofrio: are you running 14.04 in a VM in Windows?
[15:54] <donofrio> in WSL, no VM at all....
[15:54] <nacc> donofrio: right, then you're *not* running ubuntu 14.04
[15:54] <nacc> donofrio: you're running some <bad word elided> windows frankenbuntu
[15:54] <nacc> (IMO)
[15:54] <donofrio> hence my screenshot's ;) https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsBlZbBf72iNmf1b1tzBrm6nWC3prA
[15:54] <scottjl> *chuckle* frankenbutu.
[15:55] <nacc> donofrio: and the places for support are either Microsoft or Canonical
[15:55] <nacc> donofrio: not the public community support channel
[15:55] <donofrio> still scratching head with that logic loop, but I'll go back to mute I guess....
[15:55] <scottjl> wsl is a MS product, why not turn to them for support?
[15:56] <donofrio> well they would say apply creator patch - suffice to say I am not in control of what updates get applied to my corp desktop
[15:57] <donofrio> I was lucky I was able to get WSL working at all with Developer mode being 'greyed out' even when I'm admin on box
[15:57] <scottjl> yeah. definitely not a support issue this channel can help you with.
[15:58] <donofrio> back to mute I guess.....sorry to bother you good folks.....
[16:08] <Jakethepython> Hello Room i am having problems w/ Unity updates can somene please help me
[16:09] <nacc> Jakethepython: what is your exact issue?
[16:10] <Jakethepython> Hey Nacc i beleive yesterday i was working with you on the issue and you got a phone call. One of the downlaod paths is not there i think was the problem
[16:10] <sgen> Whats the best way to run a remote private apt package repository? Ive been googeling it and Ive found all sorts of answers, from a webserver and a couple odd shell scripts to some very poorly documented programs
[16:11] <nacc> Jakethepython: oh yeah, I'm sorry!
[16:11] <nacc> Jakethepython: let me look at my logs
[16:11] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076054/
[16:11] <Jakethepython> Here is where we got :)
[16:11] <nacc> Jakethepython: ok so for some reason unity-control-center is not showing up?
[16:12] <Jakethepython> yeah there is the pastebin of the update and the apt install
[16:12] <nacc> Jakethepython: ok, let me see if i can reproduce the issue
[16:14] <Goldschlager120> Hello
[16:14] <Goldschlager120> Is there a channel for ubuntu server? or is everything Ubuntu handled here?
[16:14] <nacc> Goldschlager120: #ubuntu-server
[16:14] <nacc> !alis | Goldschlager120: also...
[16:14] <nacc> Jakethepython: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25076059/ in a fresh 16.04 lxd, it works fine
[16:14] <nacc> Jakethepython: so what is different about your env (looking)
[16:15] <Jakethepython> i can't access the settings or the help or manual in the upper rt corner
[16:16] <nacc> Jakethepython: i meant about your apt env
[16:16] <nacc> Jakethepython: `apt policy unity-control-center` (I believe it will come back empty)?
[16:16] <Jakethepython> Thats a good question
[16:16] <tsarompy> wait what im0nde
[16:16] <nacc> Jakethepython: if it doesn't come back empty, the output in a pastebin please
[16:17] <tsarompy> [ 8:27:18 AM]  <im0nde> As I said I also cant mount the stick on my other machine. I get this error https://imgur.com/a/LLdaw
[16:17] <tsarompy> im a little bit sleep deprived didnt we help this person
[16:17] <tsarompy> or is this a different issue
[16:17] <Goldschlager120> Thank you nacc & ubottu :)
[16:17] <nacc> Goldschlager120: yw
[16:17] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076090/
[16:17] <Jakethepython> it has a version table but nothing installed
[16:19] <nacc> Jakethepython: hrm, can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[16:19] <nacc> Jakethepython: i think your sources are wrong, it's not listing everything i see in the apt update output
[16:20] <im0nde> tsarompy: no sorry didnt help
[16:21] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076098/
[16:21] <tsarompy> um
[16:21] <tsarompy> i thought i was talking to someone called acre or something
[16:21] <tsarompy> what was your issue
[16:21] <tsarompy> ?
[16:22] <ioria> nacc,  the version looks wrong;  current is 20170214-0ubuntu1 and he got 20160705-0ubuntu1
[16:22] <nacc> Jakethepython: did you at some point edit this file?
[16:22] <nacc> ioria: yeah, that is a locally-installed .deb (or at least not resolvable by apt)
[16:22] <ioria> yup
[16:22] <nacc> ioria: it's the release version, not the one in updates
[16:22] <nacc> Jakethepython: your sources.list looks pretty ... wrong
[16:23] <nacc> Jakethepython: nothing is looking main
[16:23] <Jakethepython> No this distro came installed by Dell. on the computer so they may have made it "non updateable"
[16:23] <Jakethepython> or soemthing
[16:23] <nacc> Jakethepython: um... that's terrible
[16:23] <nacc> Jakethepython: afaict, the sources.list you pasted shows that nothing is actually querying the main ubuntu repository
[16:23] <nacc> Jakethepython: so... you wouldn't find most packages :)
[16:23] <ioria> Jakethepython, i'd change sources.list ... but idk what would happen
[16:24] <nacc> Jakethepython: do they want you to go through the dell repo only?
[16:24] <nacc> Jakethepython: I'd suggest one of two things: a) if you need to stay on that distro, seek support from dell. b) if you can, reinstall stock ubuntu and use that instead.
[16:24] <nacc> Jakethepython: as what you have is some (yet again) frankenbuntu :)
[16:25] <nacc> Jakethepython: it's possible something in /etc/apt/sources.list.d is adding the normal repos back in, I suppose (any files in there?)
[16:25] <Jakethepython> No i just havn't do you want to see my /etc/apt directory?
[16:26] <nacc> Jakethepython: /etc/apt/sources.list.d specifically
[16:26] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076172/
[16:27] <nacc> Jakethepython: or maybe more usefully `rgrep -H 'xenial.*main' /etc/apt/sources.list*`
[16:27] <ioria>  xenial-dell.list seems the culprit
[16:27] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076178/
[16:27] <nacc> ioria: would be my guess too
[16:28] <ioria> maybe some customized release
[16:28] <nacc> Jakethepython: you can see in that last paste, line 10
[16:28] <nacc> Jakethepython: that's normally present in the actual file, not a backedup file (I think that's what the ~ signifies)
[16:28] <nacc> Jakethepython: but altering that, if that's just how your system came, would probably break your support terms with dell
[16:29] <Jakethepython> should i call dell Tech support? LOL...because they are oohh so helpful?
[16:29] <nacc> Jakethepython: in short, presuming as you said no alteration whatsoever since installation, then this is working as expected by Dell
[16:30] <Jakethepython> i havnt[ altered anything
[16:30] <nacc> Jakethepython: tbh, I find that pretty surprising (no alteration), because that means Dell is shipping a really porrly written /etc/apt/sources.list file :)
[16:30] <Jakethepython> i have on other computers but not this one
[16:30] <nacc> Jakethepython: and i don't have a dell distro in front of me to compare to, so I'm trusting you :)
[16:30] <arun007> hi
[16:30] <ioria> Jakethepython, i can can grant you hat in a normal installation, you don't have that content by default
[16:31] <Jakethepython> yeah i know i didn't do the install it was a work computer they ordered w/ 16.04 on it
[16:31] <nacc> Jakethepython: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25076198/ is, basically, the stock sources.list file for comparison
[16:31] <nacc> Jakethepython: (cloud-init'd, but it's basically what you get normally if you opt-in to security, updates and backports)
[16:35] <Jakethepython> So should i call dell to see if it breaks everything from them if i change it?
[16:36] <nacc> Jakethepython: i'm not sure what you should do, tbh -- I think most dells can run stock ubuntu w/o issue (particularly ones that already run their ubuntu version)
[16:36] <Jakethepython> yeah so is it a reinstall issue? or just an update issue?
[16:37] <nacc> Jakethepython: not sure what you mean? as in what you need to do?
[16:39] <Jakethepython> i don't either :)
[16:39] <nacc> Jakethepython: heh. my suggestions were above, not much else I can say
[16:40] <Jakethepython> OK
[16:40] <Jakethepython> so untiel that is fixed no way to fix the unity right?
[16:41] <nacc> Jakethepython: right, well, no way to install the package that someone else suggested fixes it. That unity is broken in Dell's distribution is probably a bug for Dell
[16:41] <Jakethepython> OK
[16:41] <grimel> Hi, all. Is it possible in logrotate to set date in newly created file?
[16:42] <ioria> Jakethepython, apt -s install gnome-control-center
[16:42] <grimel> I mean - move not main.log -> main.log.1 (default behaviour) but main.log -> main.log.2017-07-11
[16:45] <Jakethepython> https://paste.ubuntu.com/25076314/
[16:46] <ioria> Jakethepython, ok, for the record, you run  'apt -s install pkg' without sudo ...
[16:47] <zent_>  /part #ubuntu
[16:47] <Jakethepython> sorry
[16:47] <ioria> Jakethepython, it's just a simulation
[16:47] <Jakethepython> ahhh
[16:48] <glitsj16> grimel: logrotate supports dateext to achieve that, and you can specify dateformat the way you want it to be
[16:48] <gtt> I have an ubuntu server in a lan in my office. The server is also connected to a vpn in some vps. I can connect with my user from the lan both with private key and with password, but when I try to connect with that same user through the vpn I can't, I get this http://termbin.com/4lx0 and I can't see anything relevant in /var/log/auth.log
[16:49] <TomyWork> on ctrl-alt-f{1..4}, i only get the kubuntu logo. how can i get a login prompt?
[16:49] <TomyWork> this is on kubuntu 14.04
[16:49] <TomyWork> .5
[16:50] <eelstrebor> i'm a little confused about how i installed ubuntu - i thought that installing with uefi that the drive is configured for gpt but windows 10 is complaining that my drive is setup for mbr - there's no option in the bios for csm (legacy bios) so am i going to have to waste more time to re-configure the drive for gpt and re-install everything?
[16:50] <eelstrebor> i've read that there's no way to convert from mbr to gpt with some kind of utility app
[16:51] <TomyWork> if you have a spare disk of appropriate size, you can probably dd it over :)
[16:51] <TomyWork> at the very least
[16:52] <TomyWork> probably not a good idea with an SSD
[16:53] <eelstrebor> this is for a lappy that's under warranty so i don't want to do a swap drive thing (in other words, i don't want to void the warranty)
[16:54] <eelstrebor> i guess i'll have to figure out how to redo the drive so that windows will install ( just like M$ to mess things up)
[16:54] <ducasse> eelstrebor: you don't need to do anything for linux' sake, it has no gpt->uefi restriction. certain buggy firmwares do, as do windows afaik.
[17:02] <TomyWork> mquin i did not ask for that
[17:02] <str> how do you do that?
[17:02] <str> [Global Notice] test
[17:02] <Fuchs> TomyWork: that's a global notice, it is sent to everybody connected to freenode
[17:03] <ioria> lol
[17:03] <str> [Global Notice] this is not spam, this is a test
[17:03] <TomyWork> oh, mquin seems to be freenode staff
[17:03] <TomyWork> nm then
[17:03] <irwiss> [Global notice to str] it doesn't work
[17:04] <TomyWork> of course it wont work, you dont have permissions
[17:04] <TomyWork> on top of you doing it wrong
[17:04] <irwiss> i was trying to make a joke, lighten up
[17:04] <TomyWork> it's a specific command, not text
[17:05] <TomyWork> should have written ".to_str" :)
[17:06] <TomyWork> on ctrl-alt-f{1..6}, a getty seems to be running, but i only see the kubuntu logo. I can log in blindly and if i run something there, i can see it in htop's tree mode nested below the getty for that virtual terminal
[17:06] <TomyWork> however, i would like to see what i am doing :)
[17:09] <str> irwiss, TomyWork, how do I get permitions to do a [Global notice]?
[17:10] <eelstrebor> ducasse, i want to dual boot - ubuntu installed fine but windows won't install
[17:10] <TomyWork> str you dont
[17:10] <str> how did mquin got perms for that?
[17:10] <TomyWork> and considering the first 2 things you tried to do with it, that's probably a good thing :)
[17:10] <ducasse> str: ask in #freenode
[17:10] <ducasse> str: but it's not something you just ask for
[17:12] <ducasse> eelstrebor: iirc, you can convert mbr to gpt, but there is always a chance of data loss. i'm pretty sure i've successfully done it with gdisk, though.
[17:14] <arun007> eelstrebor: Do you have windows. There is a tool called aoemi partition assistant which is safest partiotion tool
[17:15]  * arun007 hi
[17:21] <eelstrebor> ducasse, it appears that gdisk isn't part of the ubuntu 16.04 live cd
[17:21] <eelstrebor> arun007, yes, i have several licensed copies of win10
[17:22] <ducasse> eelstrebor: just install it with apt
[17:23] <eelstrebor> i tried but it could't find the app
[17:23] <ducasse> eelstrebor: did you do 'apt update' first?
[17:24] <eelstrebor> nope - i kinda figured i forgot something - too late now since i used gparted to set up a gpt partition table - which destroyed all existing partions
[17:26] <str> echo this is a test >> /dev/irc/freenode/notice.global
[17:26] <eelstrebor> between me and my family, i spend over 50% of my waking hours keeping the pc's running
[17:28] <omber> Hey, there is no clean way to remove all desktop environments to take a workstation and turn it into a server? I forced lightdm not to run so thats keeping it from running X but I have all these extra packages!
[17:30] <ioria> omber, not quite... that's why exists ubuntu-server edition
[17:31] <omber> ioria, thanks, I have learned my lesson: don't install Gnome on box that may become  a server again :s
[17:31] <ioria> right
[17:35] <ilken> yes hello, ilken here, I have re-installed Windows 10 due to some nasty share-mal-warez included with "Super Converter" and it has wrecked my dual boot GRUB, so my question is, HOW DO I FIX GRUB? to restore my dual boot configuration without wiping my Kubuntu partition ?
[17:35] <tomreyn> omber: maybe tasksel might help there to a degree. roughly this https://askubuntu.com/questions/511463/can-i-convert-ubuntu-desktop-14-04-to-server#answers
[17:36] <blackflow> omber: you could remove ubuntu-desktop package, it'll remove a lot of deps it pulled in to build the desktop
[17:36] <tomreyn> !grubrepair | ilken
[17:37] <ilken> there was a time, when i would always install ubuntu server on a desktop then add wm/dm of choice, but then ubuntu server images stopped including the drivers for stuff like sound cards
[17:37] <ilken> ty ubottu
[17:38] <nacc> ilken: that doesn't make sense. The packages between server and desktop are the same, and the kernel is what contains drivers.
[17:38] <blackflow> since all the spins use the same repositories and same packages, stuff is an "apt install" away
[17:38] <blackflow> so yeah, it's very much possible to get install desktop starting from a server, or the other way around.
[17:42] <arun007> larsfronius: hi
[17:42] <omber> oh I see, thats okay, it works for now and I want to do a clean install on 16.04 anyway :)
[17:43] <arun007> omber: what happend?
[17:44] <omber> arun007, its a bit of a mess and I dont feel like fixing it :) its strictly a personal file server box and thankfully the array is just an md device so I can move it around
[17:45] <arun007> omber: ok
[17:54] <BlitzerHound> Is there a way to transfer files into the wine explorer?
[17:54] <BlitzerHound> Or is this the wrong place to ask that?
[17:56] <arun007> BlitzerHound: may I help you
[17:56] <th0r> BlitzerHound: you can always define a shared folder
[17:56] <BlitzerHound> How would I do that?
[17:57] <th0r> BlitzerHound: I usually put a folder in C: in wine, then put a shortcut to it in ~
[17:57] <arun007> BlitzerHound: Open the file manager. Make sure you're in your home directory. Press ctrl + h to show hidden files. enter .wine/drive_c/Program Files/SomeDirectory and move the file there and copy/move the file there like it was any other directory.
[17:58] <BlitzerHound> Ahhh, I see. Thanks.
[17:59] <BlitzerHound> Alright, I appreciate the help. Later guys!
[18:00] <Lope> I want to mount my ecryptfs home from ubuntu 14 on my new ubuntu 16 installation.
[18:00] <Lope> I've bind mounted .ecryptfs and .Private into my ~
[18:00] <Lope> then I ran the script ecryptfs-mount-private
[18:02] <Lope> It asked for password. When I type in the pass wrong it says auth failed. When I type in the pass correctly it says "Inserted auth token with sig 12356etc into the user session keyring. \n Cannot chdir into mountpoint.
[18:02] <Lope> When I check the mountpoint it's empty.
[18:03] <Lope> Is the problem my bind mounts?
[18:04] <oerheks_> Lope, i think you need to make a folder in your home, and mount it there, no on ~
[18:05] <Lope> oerheks_, I've bind mounted everything in place according to the man page.
[18:05] <Lope> for ecryptfs-mount-private
[18:05] <Lope> The manual says it will mount at ~/Private
[18:05] <Lope> So I made a dir there.
[18:06] <Lope> Strangely apparently you're supposed to run this as your user, but I thought only root can mount stuff with ecryptfs.
[18:06] <oerheks_> ok, then you don't mount it in ~
[18:06] <Lope> I'll try using mount.ecryptfs_private directly.

[18:20] <Tonkers> hello! I'm having troubles with VSFTPD. I can connect as a local user, and I can even download files, but uploading gets me a 553 error. Permissions are owner:group for the user, so that shouldn't be the problem, and I don't have SELinux set up
[18:20] <Tonkers> here's my vsftpd config
[18:20] <Tonkers> https://ghostbin.com/paste/8cruw
[18:30] <pavlos> Tonkers: you you use ipv6? if no, comment it out
[18:31] <Tonkers> pavlos: ok will do. do you think that's the issue?
[18:32] <pavlos> Tonkers: well, 553 is an AUTH issue, do you have perms to write to target (upload dir)?
[18:32] <Tonkers> pavlos: I do! 775, chown'd to the ftp user
[18:33] <Tonkers> which is odd, right?
[18:34] <pavlos> Tonkers: sudo chown -R ftpuser:nogroup /var/www/ftuuserfolder (owner should be ftpuser, group nogroup
[18:36] <SpeakerToMeat> Ok, hi all.
[18:36] <Tonkers> I've created a new ftp user specifically, added him to the www-data and ftp groups, and tried chowning myuser:www-data /var/www/html/
[18:36] <Tonkers> pavlos:
[18:36] <SpeakerToMeat> I'm trying to setup mysql on xenial, but I can't run it, when I try to run mysqld directly I get "Killed" and nothing else, I can't turn on verbose, if I use mysqld_safe I see nothing on the error log, only starting stuff no errors or warnings...
[18:37] <SpeakerToMeat> Trying to do a verbose start does nothing...
[18:37] <Exterminador-_> join #pm2
[18:38] <Exterminador-_> oops
[18:38] <Exterminador-_> sorry
[18:38] <Exterminador-_> guys, does anyone knows any cahnnel to help me with pm2?
[18:39] <Exterminador-_> i'm trying to run a ruby script (flashpolicyd), but seems pm2 needs more args that i'm able to understand
[18:39] <pavlos> Tonkers: you can try ftp on command line with PUT and see where the issue is ... (you can add -v for verbose)
[18:39] <Tonkers> pavlos: the other thing is, when I SFTP, it works fine
[18:39] <Tonkers> I'll try that though
[18:40] <Exterminador-_> any help would be highly appreciated
[18:40] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: ftp and sftp are provided by different daemons. most surely
[18:40] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: ah hah! interesting. so I configured vsftpd incorrectly, that would mean?
[18:41] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: Maybe maybe not, did you enable write operations in vsftp config? afaik they're disabled by default
[18:42] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: yep, did that.
[18:42] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: if your trouble is uploading, I arrived too late to see what's wrong
[18:42] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: What's the issue?
[18:43] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: getting a 553 error when I try to upload anything. downloads work fine. logging in as a local user, permissions are fine, no SELinux running
[18:44] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: Only with ftp? you can upload with sftp?
[18:44] <Tonkers> correct
[18:44] <Elec_A> Hi, How can I get the result of such operations in bash : 1 << 20
[18:44] <SpeakerToMeat> Is the login the same for both?
[18:45] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: nope! I created a new user for ftp
[18:45] <Tonkers> since ssh keys and all
[18:45] <SpeakerToMeat> Ok so it might be a permission issue that's present for one user but not the other.
[18:45] <ioria> Elec_A, var=$((1 << 20))
[18:46] <SpeakerToMeat> the ftp user must have write permission on the dir. if you're using groups for this a) the group must have write permission on the dir, and B) I'm not sure wether it'd work only if it's the user's primary group, or any group it belongs to. should be any group it belongs to but not entirely sure
[18:46] <Elec_A> ioria: beautiful! Thank you!
[18:46] <ioria> ^_^
[18:47] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: the thing is, perms are perfect :(
[18:47] <Tonkers> i even chowned everything to the ftp user briefly
[18:47] <Tonkers> i need them to be able to edit files in my web root is the thing
[18:47] <SpeakerToMeat> Including the home root?
[18:48] <Tonkers> yeah
[18:49] <SpeakerToMeat> It's something with the vsftp config then, have you checked the vsftp log? does it show only the 553 or anything else around it?
[18:52] <Tonkers> just file transfer failed
[18:52] <Tonkers> wait omg
[18:52] <Tonkers> i just chmodded root folder to 777 and it worked
[18:52] <Tonkers> it's also saying everything is owned by ftp:ftp in filezilla, which is blatantly wrong SpeakerToMeat
[18:52] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: Ok ls -l the new file and it'll tell you the owner and group
[18:53] <Tonkers> it's saying ftp:ftp and -rw---------
[18:53] <pavlos> Tonkers: you dont have write_enable=YES in your config
[18:53] <Tonkers> i do pavlos
[18:53] <pavlos> Tonkers: I looked at the pastebin you provided
[18:54] <Tonkers> line 32
[18:54] <pavlos> Tonkers: ok, sry
[18:54] <Tonkers> :) npnp
[18:54] <SpeakerToMeat> pavlos: it would've failed after the last chmod instead of working
[18:55] <Tonkers> so first of all I changed the umask to 022
[18:55] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: So that's user ftp and group ftp, if neither has write permission there....
[18:55] <litheum> all sorts of folks have asked about this in all sorts of places, but i'm having trouble figuring out the "right" answer. i am building a VM image to make available in a cloud marketplace, and i do apt-get upgrade before publishing it. but even after doing that, upon login i see "13 packages can be updated. 13 updates are security updates." and apt-get upgrade tells me "The following packages have been
[18:55] <litheum> kept back: linux-cloud-tools-virtual linux-headers-generic linux-headers-virtual linux-image-extra-virtual linux-image-generic linux-image-virtual linux-virtual". what's the right course of action?
[18:56] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: that mask should produce 755 if I'm not mistaken, if the owner is not ftp a directory created such by your user will not be writable to it
[18:56] <Tonkers> if I'm logged in as myuser why is it operating as ftp?
[18:58] <SpeakerToMeat> Wheres your confiog pastedr
[18:58] <Tonkers> https://ghostbin.com/paste/8cruw
[19:00] <pavlos> Tonkers: what's the target dir ? give an ls -l
[19:01] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: guest_enable
[19:01] <SpeakerToMeat> Tonkers: It's remapping all users to "ftp" as you've not defined guest_username
[19:01] <Tonkers> ohh, since I tried setting up virtual users
[19:06] <Tonkers> HA
[19:06] <Tonkers> SpeakerToMeat: that did it
[19:06] <Tonkers> it works now
[19:06] <Tonkers> silly me
[19:17] <marvinous> Hello there, trying to install 16.04 on my laptop. I've 2 disks: /dev/sda and sdb. How can I select /dev/sda and make sure sdb is not selected, when I select "Erase disk and install Ubuntu"?
[19:21] <leftyfb> marvinous: the installer will ask you which disk to use
[19:21] <leftyfb> marvinous: to be safe, unplug the drive you don't want overwritten
[19:22] <marvinous> leftyfb: That's what I did the last time but it's too much effort for my laptop :(
[19:22] <leftyfb> guess it's not that important then
[19:40] <ericus> got some kind of issue with my wired connection, lost it a couple of nights now
[19:40] <ericus> starts with "Withdrawing address record for 192.168.1.195 on enp3s0.", but why?
[19:43] <BluesKaj> ericus,  check your router gateway IP with, ip a, in the conole, 195 seems high
[19:44] <ericus> it's a pfSense-machine behind it
[19:44] <BluesKaj> pfsense router ?
[19:44] <ericus> yeah
[19:45] <ericus> gonna have a look at the dns-leases
[19:45] <BluesKaj> no matter unlees it's wrt or something
[19:46] <ericus> it's a virtual machine on a win-server
[19:46] <Loshki> ericus: I believe that message is from avahi-daemon.
[19:46] <ericus> yes it is
[19:46] <ioria> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/1586528
[19:46] <BluesKaj> ericus,  ok , now you tell us ... differnt ballgame
[19:46] <ericus> sorry!
[19:46] <Loshki> ericus: do you reply on avahi-daemon. If not, just remove it.
[19:46] <Loshki> s/reply/rely/
[19:49] <Loshki> BluesKaj: 195 is high, but still within legal range. Anything from 1 to 254 is kosher, I think
[19:49] <ericus> I would guess it's not anything I use
[19:49] <ericus> yeah, I know
[19:50] <ericus> the range set is from 10-245
[19:50] <BluesKaj> Loshki,  yes, buti've never seen that on regular networked baremetal
[19:50] <Loshki> ericus: avahi is completely optional, afaik,
[19:50] <ericus> purged it now
[19:51] <BluesKaj> VMs are a differnt thing
[19:52] <ericus> the pfSense VM controls ALL traffic, including to the Windows server host machine
[19:52] <kirillkh> hi! I have the same problem as in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=217775 I tried doing "modprobe -r xhci_pci xhci_hcd" as suggested, but it says: "modprobe: FATAL: Module xhci_hcd is builtin."

[19:54] <jrdnjrdn> Hello, just installed lubuntu 17.04, but no sound! Any thoughts?
[19:54] <jrdnjrdn> also, since when do we need to register to access freenode ubuntu?
[19:54] <Es0teric> how do i get this removed: Install these packages without verification [y/N]?
[19:54] <Es0teric> i was trying to update my system's packages
[19:55] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, not much... iirc
[19:55] <jrdnjrdn> aplay -l gives : no  sound card is installed
[19:55] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: iirc?
[19:55] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, if i remember correctly
[19:55] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Ah! Thanks. Right!
[19:56] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: I thinks it's too bad!
[19:56] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, maybe ... trolls's fault
[19:56] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: I spent half an hour trying to register and verify! But I suppose spam got bad...
[19:56] <oerheks_> Es0teric, seems like you have untrusted repos added, or the cirrent mirror is under maintanance/upgrade, wait a few minutes then and run update/upgrade again
[19:56] <oerheks_> c/current
[19:57] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, yeah ...
[19:57] <jrdnjrdn> I installed the restricted-extras but to no avail for the sound card.
[19:57] <oerheks_> Es0teric,  paste the output on paste.ubuntu.com please
[19:57] <Es0teric> oerheks_ sec
[19:58] <jrdnjrdn> Would ubuntu-drivers-common maybe help?
[19:59] <jrdnjrdn> Ah, it's already installed.
[20:00] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  in menu -> sound you should have an alsamixer gui ... if not helping , run alsamixer in terminal
[20:01] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: alsamixer gives nothing as a command. Just that there is no file....
[20:01] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  that's not normal
[20:01] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: le mixeur ne peut pas être ouvert: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type : No file or folder of this type.
[20:02] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  yes, i got it
[20:02] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Oh, good.
[20:02] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Didn't want to assume!
[20:03] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  install alsa-utils

[20:04] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: okay
[20:04] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: says it's alread there!
[20:06] <oerheks_> LoLz precise
[20:07] <oerheks_> Es0teric, upgrade to a supported version
[20:07] <oerheks_> !precise
[20:07] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  alsamixer is in alsa-utils
[20:07] <Es0teric> oerheks_ its a digitalocean server
[20:07] <oerheks_> Es0teric, sure they have up2date images
[20:07] <Es0teric> hmmm
[20:07] <Es0teric> ok
[20:07] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: odd....
[20:08] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  ls /usr/bin/alsamixer
[20:09] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: gives: /usr/bin/alsamixer
[20:09] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  run it
[20:10] <jrdnjrdn> le mixeur ne peut pas être ouvert: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
[20:11] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: But I see the file!
[20:11] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: If I go to /usr/bin/ in pcmanfm alsamixer is there....
[20:11] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, so it's about your card
[20:12] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: I don't know...
[20:12] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, does it shows up in lspci ?
[20:12] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: yep: aplay -l gives aplay: device_list:270: aucune carte son n'a été trouvée...
[20:12] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, does it shows up in lspci ?
[20:13] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: can I past?
[20:13] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, on paste.ubuntu.com, sure

[20:14] <ericus> whoops, accidentally fucked up one of my WM's, was gonna remove old kernels from /lib/modules, removed in /boot instead..
[20:15] <ericus> should grub update fix it?
[20:15] <ioria> jrdnjrdn, might be Multimedia, but usually there is also an 'Audio' item ...
[20:15] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Do I just need a driver?
[20:16] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  paste   lspci -k
[20:17] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25077393/
[20:17] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  no module loaded for that device
[20:18] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: So it just has no sound car??
[20:18] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  it's not recognized, yes
[20:18] <Bashing-om> ericus: Depending on what there is left to work with - ' sudo apt -f install ' might fix . (Going behind the package manager's back with arbitrary rm's is not good )
[20:19] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Can I install anything to help that?
[20:19] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Or is the device just not linux compatible??
[20:21] <ericus> Bashing-om, the reason for deleting directly was because the disk was full
[20:21] <ericus> so apt/dpkg didnt work
[20:21] <ericus> it does now however
[20:22] <ioria> jrdnjrdn,  no idea, sorry
[20:22] <kevmegforest> I'm trying to setup reverse tunnel in ubuntu 16.04 using sshd. I have issues with the streamlocalbindmask parameters. It doesn't seems to work.
[20:22] <kevmegforest> The socket created is always of this permission : srw------- 1 autossh autossh 0 Jul 12 16:15 IGA_Bellefeuille.sock
[20:23] <Bashing-om> ericus: K; in those situations it is dpkg to the rescue -m operates at a lower level . for now . what results ' with apt -f install ' ?
[20:23] <kevmegforest> even with the mask set to 0111
[20:23] <jrdnjrdn> ioria: Well, thanks anyway.
[20:24] <ericus> Bashing-om, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[20:24] <Bashing-om> ericus: No errors .. great // and we have operating head room ' df -h ' .
[20:24] <jrdnjrdn> Any ideas for this one: Linux just won't detect my bloody sound card?
[20:25] <oerheks_> jrdnjrdn, i read back, i have seen no info about what machine/soundcard
[20:25] <ericus> yes Bashing-om, freed up some
[20:25] <oerheks_> little annoying not to mention that
[20:26] <Bashing-om> ericus: Then try ' sudo apt autoremove '. See if that gets ya down to 2 kernels .
[20:26] <ericus> did not remove current kernel ofc, just older ones. 4.4.0-6* and 4.4.0-7*
[20:26] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: I really don't know! I mean for the sound card, it's just not detected, as for the machine, it's a red hp notbook tablet thing for which I couldn't find the model!
[20:27] <ericus> down to two Bashing-om, just curious if I fucked up /boot or grub with my "fix"
[20:28] <ericus> guess I'll find out at reboot
[20:28] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: It has window 10 on it as well.
[20:28] <Bashing-om> ericus: Looking good ? . pastebin ' dpkg -l | grep | linux- " see if there is more to do . // booting kernel still there ' uname -r ' ?
[20:28] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: But is running lubuntu 17.04 at present
[20:29] <oerheks_> jrdnjrdn, 'pacmd list-cards' should give that info
[20:30] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: 0 card(s) available.
[20:30] <ericus> there is sure enough more to to Bashing-om

[20:32] <oerheks_> red hp notebook tablet, cannot find such model :-(
[20:32] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: I'll look again....
[20:33] <oerheks_> maybe there are forumposts about that machine
[20:35]  * oerheks_ wonders if it is an 32 bit uefi machine
[20:35] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: it's just like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-Pavilion-x2-10-n055na-10-1-2-in-1-Laptop-Tablet-Intel-Atom-Windows-8-1-Red-/111731264933
[20:35] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: And it is 64 bit
[20:35] <justPie> Anyone have any recommendations on a good laptop that can run ubuntu with minimal effort?
[20:36] <Bashing-om> ericus: Looks pretty good . but the latest installed kernel is -83 , Should be booting -83 . Lets nect remove the cruft . run ' dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/{print $2}' | xargs sudo dpkg -P ' . to remove the "rc" marked files .
[20:36] <justPie> I was hoping for a micorosoft surface book or something similar
[20:36] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: Sound: B&O Play
[20:36] <Mrokii> Hello. I have a problem with an installed app. After a power outage, I can't start Vivaldi (the computer crashes badly/hangs). That happens even when I try to update Vivaldi. So I wanted to remove Vivaldi-stable, didn't work either. Bash gave me package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
[20:36] <Mrokii>  reinstall it before attempting a removal
[20:36] <Mrokii> Sorry for the linebreaks.
[20:37] <Mrokii> Anyhow, I started synaptic, but the option to re-install is greyed out for Vivaldi, so it seems I can't even reinstall it as recommended by apt-get.
[20:38] <oerheks_> seems ike a known issue https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1561278
[20:39] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: shit....
[20:39] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: Do you think this would go for all distros?
[20:39] <minimec> Mrokii: Try to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' That hopefully finishes the broken installation process
[20:40] <oerheks_> jrdnjrdn, yes, seems so, see 2nd last post,mint, arch debian
[20:40] <ericus> thank you Bashing-om, that got me some more free space
[20:41] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: Ah. Alas
[20:41] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: Windows beat us!
[20:41] <oerheks_> jrdnjrdn, are you sure that machine has 64 bit uefi? or did you just disable ueffi at all??
[20:42] <Bashing-om> ericus: What is now set to boot ' ls -al /vmlinuz* /initrd.img* ' on a pastebin .
[20:42] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: I checked under windows 10 and it said 64 and the iso I installed is 64....
[20:43] <oerheks_> jrdnjrdn, oke, else that would explain why there is no valid driver
[20:43] <ericus> Bashing-om, I would say it looks fine now? https://pastebin.com/JyxXXGvS
[20:43] <oerheks_> add yourselft to that bugreport, to keep it alive
[20:44] <jrdnjrdn> oerheks_: It's the best idea. Well, thanks for your help and fuck hp!
[20:46] <Bashing-om> ericus: Not made up my mind yet what to do here " /initrd.img.old -> boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-83-generic  " Should should be -81. Does it exist '
[20:47] <Bashing-om> ericus: ^ ' ls -al boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic ' if it exists we fix that symlink .
[20:48] <ericus> ls: cannot access 'boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic': No such file or directory
[20:48] <Haris> hello all
[20:50] <Bashing-om> ericus: Houston, we have a problem . OK, let's see what we can do. This can get long a tiresome to check- but better safe than sorry .
[20:51] <ericus> Bashing-om, do you think I should risk it and reboot?
[20:52] <ericus> I don't have snapshots for this VM, or not at least not new ones....
[20:52] <ericus> note to self, take snapshots more often
[20:52] <Haris> on 14.04, I need to stop mysql service. I think mysql is in watchdog. how do I remove it from there ? I need to stop mysql. re-set my data files
[20:52] <Mrokii> Hello. I've just asked a question, but the computer froze again. The problem is this: after a power-outage I can't assess Vivaldi-stable anymore. If I troy to reinstall or start it, the computer freezes. I tried to remove it via apt-get and got the message "package is in a very bad shape you should reinstall before attempting a removal". But removal is obviously impossible. What can I do?
[20:52] <Bashing-om> ericus: Lot's check . pastebin these ' ls -al /usr/src/ ; ls -al /lib/modules/ ' ls -al /boot ' d[kg -l | grep linux- ' .
[20:53] <Bashing-om> dpkg**
[20:53] <minimec> Mrokii: Try to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' That hopefully finishes the broken installation process
[20:54] <Mrokii> minimec: Okay... Hopefully the comp doesn't freeze again.
[20:55] <jhutchins_wk> Mrokii: I assume that the standard fsck is running at boot - did it pause with any errors?
[20:58] <Haris> guys ? anyone know how to remove mysql from out-of-the-box watchdog on 14.04 ?
[20:59] <jhutchins_wk> Haris: Watchdog?
[20:59] <Mrokii> jhutchins_wk: I assume as much. :) The boot process is too fast to see any messages, it's an SSD. But I didn't see any problems during boot-process. In fact, none at all up to now, besides the problem with Vivaldi.
[21:00] <Haris> the service which is keeps track of services going down, to immediately restart them
[21:00] <Haris> I stop mysql. something on ubuntu restarts mysql auto-magically
[21:01] <jhutchins_wk> Mrokii: You could try purging it and then reinstalling it.
[21:01] <tgm4883> Haris: how are you stopping mysql?
[21:01] <Mrokii> jhutchins_wk: If I don't solve this problem I might boot with a CD or a usb-stick and run fsck on the SSD.
[21:02] <ericus> here ya go Bashing-om https://pastebin.com/NTpAkehH
[21:02] <ericus> and thanks for the help :))
[21:02] <Bashing-om> ericus: I may be a while looking .
[21:02] <Haris> stopping it via init script (i.e., /etc/init.d/mysql stop)
[21:02] <aotaoint1in> what's the "safest" way to install oracle jre?
[21:02] <aotaoint1in> webupd8 ppa? straight from oracle tarball?
[21:03] <aotaoint1in> one is easier to update, the other doesn't involve an untrusted party in the middle...
[21:03] <tgm4883> aotaoint1in: I think you answered your own question
[21:03] <Mrokii> jhebden: I'm not sure if this would work. Isn't purging more or less the same as simply removing it? And when I tried to remove it I got the message about the package being in a bad shape.
[21:03] <Mrokii> jhutchins: I'm not sure if this would work. Isn't purging more or less the same as simply removing it? And when I tried to remove it I got the message about the package being in a bad shape.
[21:04] <Mrokii> jhebden: Sorry, chose wrong nickname for my answer.
[21:04] <aotaoint1in> i was hoping someone here would have an opinion on the trustworthiness of webupd8 :P
[21:05] <Haris> any idea folks ?
[21:06] <tgm4883> aotaoint1in: as far as I know, they are not untrustworthy
[21:06] <Mrokii> aotaoint1in: I have used the webupd8 PPA for years without problems, as far as I know.
[21:06] <minimec> aotaoint1in: Well... I do trust webupd8, but when it comes to ORACLE... ;) I try to avoid everything with that name!
[21:08] <Mrokii> Anyhow, I'll leave for a moment, so the irc-logs are saved, and to try to solve my problem with Vivaldi.
[21:10] <aotaoint1in> indeed, i have a burning hatred for oracle too.
[21:12] <Haris> found out how to do it
[21:12] <Haris> thank you all
[21:13] <Bashing-om> ericus: Looks good to me ! .. try again ' ls -al /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic ' as it is there - just to make sure = " ii  linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic  " . Then we remake that symlink to point to the -81 image (old).
[21:15] <ericus> file exists Bashing-om
[21:32] <Bashing-om> ericus: K; then ' sudo rm /initrd.img.old ; ln -s /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic /initrd.img.old ' .
[21:35] <ericus> ln: failed to create symbolic link '/initrd.img.old': Permission denied
[21:38] <Bashing-om> weltall: My bad . gots to have admin rights ' sudo ln -s /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic /initrd.img.old ' .
[21:39] <Bashing-om> ericus: My bad . gots to have admin rights ' sudo ln -s /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-81-generic /initrd.img.old . sorry weltall for the bad hilight :(
[21:42] <ericus> thanks Bashing-om :)
[21:44] <Bashing-om> ericus: Glad2help . now try a reboot . see if ya come up on the -83 kernel .
[21:45] <ericus> will do in a while
[21:50] <Lope> Help! I used to work with a big .ods spreadsheet every day in libreoffice calc on Ubuntu 14.04. Now on Ubuntu 16.04 it keeps crashing with the same spreadsheet pegging one CPU core at 100% indefinitely. What can I do to run a different version that will hopefully be stable? BTW I've only got 8GB RAM and no swap enabled. How can I tell if it runs out of RAM? I doubt it. Currently it's using 253MB ram and I've got 5.5GB ram available.
[21:57] <sgen> Does anyone have a link to a good example of a daemon script example? with start / stop / status functions etc
[21:57] <sgen> Ive found a couple but they seems broken
[21:58] <ZSky> why, if there is a "cd /blah/" in a script.sh, it doesn't stay there after the script has finished?
[21:58] <Bashing-om> Lope: No idea about your spread sheet, but ram : ' free -m ' and ' top ' will show what swap is doing .
[21:59] <sgen> ZSky: Because the script is run in its own subshell, the directory change occurs in that shell not the one your running it from
[21:59] <sgen> s/your/you're
[22:00] <ZSky> sgen: ok with ". script.sh" it works :)
[22:01] <ZSky> or "source script.sh"
[22:01] <ZSky> btw why can't i run a script with just "script.sh"  (if it has 744) ?
[22:01] <ZSky> why do I need "./script.sh" ?
[22:02] <sgen> because bash checks the directories listed in your $PATH for applications to run and . isnt in your $PATH
[22:02] <akik> ZSky: it's because you don't have the current dir "." in your path. you shouldn't do it anyhow
[22:02] <ZSky> ok
[22:02] <ZSky> . script.sh is cool
[22:02] <sgen> you could add it with `export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/your/dir"'
[22:07] <toothfairy_> Hi, I am trying to figure out how to execute a Python script automatically on each incoming email. It has nothing to do with parsing any contents of the email itself ...

Is this possible?

[23:51] <Shawn|i7-720QM> ah, I just read too
[23:51] <Shawn|i7-720QM> so I would not want that on an old netburst server?
[23:51] <oerheks_> Well, depends, do you have a *reason* to want that
[23:52] <Shawn|i7-720QM> well, it says for newer hardware
[23:52] <Shawn|i7-720QM> https://askubuntu.com/questions/248914/what-is-hardware-enablement-hwe
[23:52] <Loshki> JustTheDoctor: you can run more than one instance of vncserver, and I think the port it listens on can be customised by giving the right options to Xvnc. Once that's working, having 3 different user accounts will be the easy part.
