| Ineedhelppls | Does anyone know what is means when I get the error: The repository 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file. | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| nicomachus | Sleaker: yes, I meant my users. right now it shows drwxrwxrwx, is that full read/write for all users? | 00:03 |
| Sleaker | nicomachus: yes | 00:03 |
| Sleaker | but the files you're copying into that directory might not be getting those permissions | 00:03 |
| Sleaker | best check the files. | 00:03 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: what's your sources list? | 00:03 |
| nicomachus | oh. That's going to be a lot. in a lot of subdirectories. | 00:04 |
| Sleaker | nicomachus: are you actually haveing permission issues? | 00:04 |
| Ineedhelppls | @Sleaker I've reset my sources list to the default settings, and still get the error | 00:04 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: please pastie/pastebin etc it and link here. | 00:04 |
| nicomachus | Sleaker: now that I look back at the error output, it seems to be a problem with reading .flac files and a few random extensions where it just has a warning that it's a text file. | 00:05 |
| Ineedhelppls | Sleaker https://thepasteb.in/p/pghQ6J9RyGnUR | 00:05 |
| nicomachus | Sleaker: example: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25122109/ | 00:06 |
| Sleaker | nicomachus: maybe an issue with your program then? | 00:06 |
| nicomachus | Sleaker: yea I'll have to look into how mopidy handles .flac files | 00:07 |
| nicomachus | thanks anyway. | 00:07 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: which one of those is giving an error? | 00:08 |
| Ineedhelppls | Sleaker oddly enough it seems like all of them | 00:08 |
| Ineedhelppls | That said, I have no issue accessing the base URLs via browser, I just can | 00:09 |
| Ineedhelppls | 't find a release file | 00:09 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: those all work for me just fine 1:1 | 00:10 |
| Ineedhelppls | Sleaker it might be worth mentioning that I also get connection errors when running apt update | 00:10 |
| Ineedhelppls | Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.152 80], but when I ping the servers I get a response | 00:10 |
| Sleaker | .149 is the archive. | 00:11 |
| kotek | r there any hacking tools in ubuntu? | 00:11 |
| Sleaker | atleast for me. | 00:11 |
| sary | I'm sure you meatn cracking.. | 00:11 |
| kotek | no | 00:11 |
| Ineedhelppls | I have it failing to get: 91.189.91.26, 91.189.88.162, and 91.189.88.152 | 00:12 |
| Sleaker | maybe you have bad dns? | 00:12 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'm not sure why. I've tried changing the servers being requested using software-properties-gtk | 00:12 |
| sary | then what hacking tools you refering to.. | 00:12 |
| Sleaker | or there is an issue right now with canonical server. | 00:12 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: either way.. it works on this end. | 00:12 |
| kotek | sary, eg can i check if computer is online? | 00:12 |
| Ineedhelppls | I've tried accessing the updates on several different days now | 00:12 |
| Sleaker | Ineedhelppls: seems likely that it's something with the system or your internet connection. | 00:13 |
| Ineedhelppls | I did just move into a new apartment, and I might have changed DNS? That said, I shouldn't be able to access via ping if that is the case | 00:13 |
| Ineedhelppls | I agree, but why would it work on ping and http request? | 00:13 |
| * Sleaker shrugs | 00:13 | |
| sary | kotek: ping -W 1 $ip , but that's not hackin' :) | 00:14 |
| Ineedhelppls | Sleaker well I appreciate the help! | 00:15 |
| Sleaker | yah sorry :( | 00:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | thanks for bein there for a guy | 00:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | nah, I'm glad I got a second opinon | 00:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | clearly somethin over here is real screwy | 00:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | any idea what the best way is to try out different DNS servers? I'm using wicd-gtk, would that work? | 00:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'm thinking of trying out google's DNS 8.8.8.8 | 00:16 |
| Sleaker | no clue. | 00:16 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: what nameservers are currently set? your ISP's? | 00:20 |
| Ineedhelppls | glitsj16 yup | 00:20 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: try editing /etc/resolv.conf and set google's there instead | 00:21 |
| Ineedhelppls | my resolv.conf says specifically not to edit by hand | 00:21 |
| Ineedhelppls | that changes will be overwritten | 00:22 |
| Ineedhelppls | not sure why... | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | because it will be overwritten | 00:22 |
| Ineedhelppls | -_- | 00:22 |
| Ineedhelppls | by what? | 00:22 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: for testing, you can set them up not to be overwritten if it works | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: by the thing that managers the resolv.conf file | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: also known as resolvconf | 00:22 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: are you using NM? | 00:23 |
| Ineedhelppls | ok, once I've edited the file how do I make the changes take effect? | 00:23 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'm using wicd | 00:23 |
| tgm4883 | if you've edited the file, they are already in effect | 00:23 |
| Ineedhelppls | oh, cool | 00:23 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'll try now | 00:23 |
| tgm4883 | i'm surprised that wicd doesn't have a way to set DNS servers | 00:23 |
| glitsj16 | indeed | 00:24 |
| Ineedhelppls | it does! but my changes don't seem to do anything.... | 00:24 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: well use the way wicd offers, have you tried that? | 00:24 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: I just read more backlog, that doesnt' appear to be a DNS issue | 00:24 |
| Ineedhelppls | I did try that | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | I set them to google's dns | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | I also just tried using the changes to resolv.conf | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | no difference in my apt update behaviour | 00:25 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls. "Connection failed [IP: 91.189.88.152 80], but when I ping the servers I get a response" isn't a DNS issue | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | any idea what's going on tgm4883? | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | that what I thought | 00:25 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'm just desperate enough to give anything a try at this point | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: this is when you're running 'apt-get update' ? | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | I haven't been able to install stuff | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | yea | 00:26 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: try a mirror | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | apt or apt-get | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | I've tried changing my mirror in software-properties-gtk | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: what country? | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | tried some in other countries even | 00:26 |
| Ineedhelppls | I did US and UK | 00:26 |
| glitsj16 | according to the paste you showed that didn't work | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | no, where are you? | 00:26 |
| tgm4883 | southern CA it seems | 00:27 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'm in NY, actually | 00:27 |
| tgm4883 | ah yea you are | 00:28 |
| Ineedhelppls | :) | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | I just looked at the first couple octets and made a bad guess | 00:28 |
| Ineedhelppls | hey, that's a pretty cool skill | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | ok, so in any case, you've tried us.archive.ubuntu.com? | 00:28 |
| Ineedhelppls | yessir | 00:28 |
| Ineedhelppls | that was what I started with | 00:28 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: not really. One of our datacenters has the same first few :) | 00:28 |
| sary | try switching the server to mirror.es.its.nyu.edu/ Ineedhelppls | 00:30 |
| Ineedhelppls | current DNS results: | 00:30 |
| Ineedhelppls | https://thepasteb.in/p/1jhnW0nvNPOIB | 00:30 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: can you browse to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty/ | 00:30 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: yes I can | 00:31 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: interesting. Can you "wget http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/Release" | 00:32 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: yup! | 00:32 |
| Ineedhelppls | works fine | 00:32 |
| Ineedhelppls | so strange, I just don't understand what's happening here... | 00:32 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: another thing you can try is to move /var/lib/apt/list/* out of the way, the files in there should regenerate on 'sudo apt update' | 00:32 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: ^ that's a good idea | 00:32 |
| Ineedhelppls | because all of my apt update requests fail, the folder remains empty after I've moved the stuff | 00:33 |
| glitsj16 | better put them back in that case, very odd indeed | 00:34 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: wait, every single one fails? Can you pastebin the full output of an 'sudo apt update' | 00:35 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: https://thepasteb.in/p/WnhzoQz2AWMiV | 00:35 |
| Ineedhelppls | maybe it's not every single one? | 00:36 |
| Ineedhelppls | I've also tried performing my updates in the unsafe mode to no avail | 00:36 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: are you behind a proxy? | 00:36 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: not that I'm aware of... | 00:37 |
| glitsj16 | 'apt policy apt' shows expected package version, no PPA's in play etc? | 00:37 |
| Ineedhelppls | @glitsj16: not sure what this means... https://thepasteb.in/p/76hE70EwAkVUV | 00:38 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: it shows what apt knows in regards to available packages | 00:39 |
| glitsj16 | but i can't find 1.2.19 in the official repos | 00:39 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: : i missed what ubuntu version you're on.. 17.04? | 00:40 |
| Ineedhelppls | glitsj16: 16.04 | 00:41 |
| sary | you might need to see your /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:41 |
| tgm4883 | 1.2.9 would be from -updates | 00:42 |
| tgm4883 | 1.2.19 would be from -updates | 00:42 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: xenial has 1.2.20 currently, but if you couldn't update for a while that might not be the actual problem either | 00:42 |
| sary | also , is IPv6 enabled , disable it and try to update again .. | 00:43 |
| tgm4883 | it's not ipv6 | 00:43 |
| nicomachus | Sleaker: if you're still around, it looks like there are some assorted files in the Music/ directory that are just -rwxr----- | 00:43 |
| nicomachus | and those are the ones that mopidy can't read. | 00:43 |
| Bashing-om | tgm4883: Ineedhelppls :: " sysop@x1604:~$ apt policy apt >> Installed: 1.2.20 : . | 00:43 |
| tgm4883 | well it shouldn't be anyway, considering apt isn't trying to connect on ipv6 and he's able to ping the ipv4 | 00:44 |
| Sleaker | nicomachus: chmod 777 them or chmod +r them your choice. | 00:44 |
| nicomachus | can I not do the whole directory recursively? | 00:44 |
| Sleaker | 'man chmod' if you need more info on that. | 00:44 |
| Sleaker | you can | 00:44 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: can you go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/proxy-check and see if it detects a proxy | 00:45 |
| * tgm4883 is running out of ideas | 00:45 | |
| === Sekreta1 is now known as Sekreta | ||
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: no proxy detected | 00:45 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: alright, had an idea. Booting up an old machine I had lying around, and I'm going to see if I can connect and run apt update over there | 00:47 |
| glitsj16 | or a 16.04 live cd/usb | 00:48 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883 & glitsj16: for the first time, I've gained some insight into the problem!!!! It appears that I get the same errors in retreiving the release files from us.archive on this machine as well... | 00:52 |
| Ineedhelppls | I suppose this points to a broader connectivity issue on my ISP | 00:52 |
| glitsj16 | looks like it yes | 00:53 |
| glitsj16 | nice find :) | 00:53 |
| Ineedhelppls | but that still doesn't answer the question of why I was able to wget the file just fine?? | 00:53 |
| nicomachus | port blocking issue on the ISP's end? | 00:53 |
| Ineedhelppls | It's on port 80... | 00:53 |
| iopq | Ctrl + 5 doesn't work inside my game, I'm using Unity - how do I debug this issue? I really don't want to install LXDE or something just to test it... | 00:54 |
| Ineedhelppls | a sample of my wget Release file: https://thepasteb.in/p/RghnZpnpREDCz | 00:55 |
| Ineedhelppls | looks as it should? | 00:55 |
| Ineedhelppls | does apt have a different mechanism for fetching this file as compared to wget? My impression is that they should be exactly the same... | 00:56 |
| Ineedhelppls | this issue is driving me crazy X_X | 00:56 |
| glitsj16 | looks quite regular, but i'm not exactly used to looking at these kind of files.. afaik apt uses connection methods filed in /usr/lib/apt/methods | 01:03 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: could in theory be the ISP blocking it, but I'm doubtful | 01:04 |
| Ineedhelppls | but then wget shouldn't work tgm4883? | 01:04 |
| Ineedhelppls | I think | 01:04 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: could be a layer 7 firewall | 01:04 |
| Ineedhelppls | In software-properties-gtk it indicates I'm using http to fetch | 01:04 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: but in the US, I'm doubtful that is what is happening | 01:04 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: it's trivial to block apt yet allow http downloads | 01:05 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: so does apt not use purely http? | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: it does, but inspecting the traffic you can tell what it is | 01:06 |
| Ineedhelppls | hmm | 01:06 |
| Ineedhelppls | I'd like to think big brother isn't watching that closely haha | 01:06 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: I'd like to think so too | 01:07 |
| tgm4883 | but it makes me wonder if https://ubuntu.osuosl.org/ubuntu/ would work for you | 01:07 |
| Ineedhelppls | I also don't know why they'd block apt, it's quite innocuous | 01:07 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: well it could be as simple as "allow http, block all" | 01:08 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: hooooollllllyy shiiiiit | 01:09 |
| Ineedhelppls | you are a god | 01:09 |
| Ineedhelppls | it works!!!! | 01:09 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: hmm, so me thinks something's inspecting your traffic | 01:10 |
| Ineedhelppls | I cannot believe how I've spent trying to fix this problem... but you got it, https seems to have done the trick | 01:10 |
| Ineedhelppls | *how long | 01:10 |
| Ineedhelppls | does that mean they're watching my porn? :P | 01:11 |
| glitsj16 | first and foremost | 01:11 |
| iopq | I only get a keyup event, not a keydown event when I hit Cltr+5, how do I fix it? | 01:11 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: probably not. Could be traffic shaping, some sort of proxy/cacheing, something misconfigured | 01:11 |
| iopq | my keyboard doesn't actually send Ctrl+5 wtf | 01:11 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883 & glitsj16: thanks so much for your help, it is deeply appreciated. It's folk like y'all that make the ubuntu community amazing | 01:12 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: that steam, and this insufferabally slow download ;) | 01:13 |
| tgm4883 | thank steam* | 01:13 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: hahaha, what game? Thank you based steam | 01:14 |
| iopq | is it possible to download new usb keyboard drivers | 01:14 |
| tgm4883 | dying light | 01:14 |
| glitsj16 | Ineedhelppls: kind words, and yet something in the back of my head seems to yell 'change ISP' :p | 01:14 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: good stuff, well I hope you enjoy it :) | 01:14 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: I will, in somewhere between 6 minutes and more than 1 year from now | 01:14 |
| Ineedhelppls | glitsj16: I wish, I'm locked in by my ap | 01:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | *apt | 01:15 |
| rolandbeowulf | Recently, whenever i try to apt-get install something, the connection to au.archive.ubuntu.com stays at 0% for like 5 minutes before the install actually starts, anyone happen to know what might be the issue? | 01:15 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: apartment? Do they provide the internet? | 01:15 |
| glitsj16 | what a strange situation.. is that legal? | 01:15 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: yes indeed, and I'm paying so little in rent... I don't actually pay for my utilities | 01:16 |
| Ineedhelppls | It's a bundle deal | 01:16 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: I'd 99% guarentee that they are proxying that then | 01:16 |
| Ineedhelppls | tgm4883: what makes you say that? If the proxy test came back negative | 01:17 |
| sary | rolandbeowulf: run $ apt clean , $ apt check $ aptitude update | 01:18 |
| glitsj16 | rolandbeowulf: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors has more info on mirror status, you might want to try a few others | 01:19 |
| Ineedhelppls | well, now to install the 200+ updates I have backlogged... | 01:20 |
| glitsj16 | :) enjoy | 01:20 |
| tgm4883 | Ineedhelppls: because they would most likely be doing something to "protect" their network | 01:22 |
| tgm4883 | and because of the issues you've been dealing with | 01:22 |
| arktvrvs | hi im trying to apt install clang:i386 but it tells me "depends on (x)...which will not be installed" .. why will (x) not be installed? when i try to install (x) it tells me "depends on (other stuff)... that will not be installed"? | 01:29 |
| sary | That ^ is wjy i prefer nix over apt.. | 01:30 |
| arktvrvs | nix? is that a program or code for "do it yourself, by hand" ? | 01:31 |
| h00k | hi there | 01:32 |
| arktvrvs | hi | 01:32 |
| sary | Nix is a Purely Functional Package Manager. | 01:32 |
| sary | you may want to consult man apt .. as to why! | 01:33 |
| shiznix | Ubuntu just upgraded it's kernel to 4.10.0-28 but didn't install any of it's kernel modules :( | 01:36 |
| shiznix | what's the accepted solution for when this happens? | 01:36 |
| shiznix | kernel boots but no hardware works now as modules missing :( | 01:37 |
| sary | shiznix: you need the linux-image-extra | 01:38 |
| shiznix | have tried...# apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-generic linux-image-4.10.0-28-generic linux-image-extra-4.10.0-28-generic | 01:38 |
| shiznix | which re-installs it as it should | 01:38 |
| sary | awaa | 01:38 |
| shiznix | during the re-install it says "Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file" | 01:39 |
| shiznix | but goes ahead with the install anyway | 01:39 |
| sary | does the /lib/modules exist though .. | 01:40 |
| shiznix | hmm...yes it does | 01:41 |
| shiznix | maybe it will work now | 01:41 |
| sary | shiznix: what does $ dkms status returns! | 01:42 |
| glitsj16 | arktvrvs: those kind of errors are frequently caused by PPA's or broken sources.list.. you can check with 'apt policy <package-name> to see what versions of clang are available/installed currently .. although i'm not sure if that command supports the multilib stuff | 01:43 |
| shiznix | sary: Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file. | 01:56 |
| shiznix | File: does not exist. | 01:56 |
| shiznix | it's only half messed now | 01:57 |
| shiznix | on a reboot many kernel modules are loaded now, but i need to manually modprobe the kernel's wifi driver | 01:58 |
| shiznix | not sure yet what other kernel modules it's missed :( | 01:58 |
| Bashing-om | shiznix: Begs the question, is dkms installed ? ' dpkg -l dkms ' . | 02:05 |
| shiznix | it is, but will try re-installing dkms related packages | 02:05 |
| sary | Perhaps you don't have any *-dkms package installed (and dkms does not | 02:05 |
| sary | from kernel module source, usually a package called foo-dkms and installing to /usr/src/foo-VERSION . see ls /var/lib/dkms -R | 02:07 |
| shiznix | sary: checking it... | 02:15 |
| tsarompy | hai #ubuntu <3 | 02:26 |
| GreenDimond | So... I'm back. | 02:33 |
| GreenDimond | And I have a new problem. | 02:33 |
| GreenDimond | My computer has been freezing randomly. | 02:34 |
| GreenDimond | Completely locks up, no keyboard input or mouse or anything | 02:34 |
| GreenDimond | I have to force-shutdown | 02:34 |
| GreenDimond | And it probably isn't performance related | 02:35 |
| Bashing-om | GreenDimond: What release and is a nvidia graphic's card a factor ? | 02:35 |
| GreenDimond | because I can run Blender, YouTube, and another graphic-intense videogame without trouble, but it sometimes locks up randomly with only a few applications. | 02:35 |
| GreenDimond | I have Xubuntu 16.04 | 02:35 |
| GreenDimond | And yes, I have an Nvidia graphics card, but no idea if that is whats causing it | 02:36 |
| GreenDimond | This has been happening ever since I put this PC together | 02:36 |
| Bashing-om | GreenDimond: I too had the freezing in xubuntu 16.04 . Since installing the proprietary driver have had no further issues . | 02:37 |
| GreenDimond | Bashing-om: Proprietary driver for my graphics card? | 02:39 |
| GreenDimond | Or for something else? | 02:40 |
| Bashing-om | GreenDimond: Affirmed . We spent 6 months looking for the cause of the freezes - nothing ever in the logs or any hints anwwhere of a failure . Just because I had nothing else to try installed the nvidia proprietary driver for my card . Solved ! | 02:41 |
| GreenDimond | :( | 02:41 |
| GreenDimond | Bashing-om, remember a few months ago when I had trouble with my graphics card resolution? | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | gtt: I got real short attention span . So sorry .. out of my ram :) | 02:42 |
| GreenDimond | I had switched from neuvavu to the Nvidia proprietary and the res got messed up, but then you helped me fix it. So it is using a proprietary driver already.. | 02:43 |
| GreenDimond | so obviously using the proprietary didnt fix the freeze problem :/ | 02:44 |
| tsarompy | has anyone tried artful yet? | 02:48 |
| Bashing-om | GreenDimond: Ouch ! .. Then all I can suggest is start reading the logs looking for errors . and in a new terminal on the most active window run ' tail -f /var/log/syslog ' see if ya can capture an event in real time . Maybe 'top' will give some hints ? | 02:53 |
| GreenDimond | Alright | 02:54 |
| GreenDimond | thanks anyway :) | 02:54 |
| sary | what Bashing-om said , also #see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze GreenDimond | 02:54 |

| Hoffman | My linux setup is booting from grub, directly and instantly to a black screen, no disk activity of booting... *UNLESS* I have the kernel args "quiet" AND "splash" | 05:02 |
| Hoffman | adding those args causes the disk to get activity during the boot process, causes the boot to actually happen | 05:02 |
| Hoffman | anyone ever hear of anything this wacky? | 05:02 |
| rpifan | do you need to change it for any reason? | 05:03 |
| Hoffman | I'd like to not have the splash screen, and instead watch the normal boot messages scroll by | 05:04 |
| Hoffman | but I've no idea why *not* having "quiet" and "splash" would halt the boot process before said messages even occur | 05:05 |
| akik | Hoffman: what's the last message you see? | 05:06 |
| Hoffman | akik: there's literally none | 05:06 |
| Hoffman | no text flashing across the screen, just straight from the grub menu to black | 05:06 |
| rpifan | well you can check the systemd init to see what it says | 05:07 |
| Hoffman | it never picks anything up, I guess the failure happens before that | 05:07 |
| akik | Hoffman: try also setting GRUB_TERMINAL=console | 05:07 |
| Hoffman | wait, maybe Im looking at the wrong log | 05:07 |
| Hoffman | how would I check systemd init | 05:07 |
| Hoffman | oh, also I tried adding debug lines into the grub boot, the last line output is before initrd is loaded, then the screen clears | 05:08 |
| Hoffman | thats when hdd activity stops | 05:08 |
| rpifan | i meant systemd boot | 05:09 |
| rpifan | not init thats gone lol | 05:09 |
| Hoffman | rpifan: how do I check that | 05:10 |
| akik | Hoffman: also you could try to boot with adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options | 05:12 |
| rpifan | take a look at journalctl | 05:12 |
| m4dh4tt4 | does anyone know if adaptec PCI-X raid is native? where can i check that, (16.04) | 05:12 |
| Hoffman | akik: nomodeset does nothin' unless the other two options are set | 05:13 |
| Hoffman | rpifan: for sure journalctl never picks anything up | 05:13 |

| cathode | having a issue here with the iscsi target on ubuntu server 17.04.... i had a ZFS zvol when i was running freebsd before, and the zvol was exported with freebsd's built-in iscsi target. now that the ZFS pool is imported onto my ubuntu box, and i try and use the iscsi target to export the same zvol, on the initiator side it shows up at twice the size and corrupted | 07:33 |

| EriC^^ | !info php-common | 11:16 |
| EriC^^ | cleeter: which ubuntu version? | 11:16 |
| ubottu | php-common (source: php-defaults (49)): Common files for PHP packages. In component main, is optional. Version 1:49 (zesty), package size 11 kB, installed size 70 kB | 11:16 |

| ubottu | php-common (source: php-defaults (49)): Common files for PHP packages. In component main, is optional. Version 1:49 (zesty), package size 11 kB, installed size 70 kB | 11:19 |
| cleeter | It's not just php-common, I'm trying to figure out the whole rationale and structure for all these php packages | 11:20 |
| cleeter | Another example: php7.0-mysql vs. php-mysql | 11:20 |
| cleeter | Why are there two different packages, and which one should I use? Again, Ubuntu LTS 16.04 | 11:20 |
| nacc | cleeter: use the non versioned | 11:21 |
| nacc | cleeter: they will always depend on the correct underlying version | 11:21 |
| oerheks | php-mysql - This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default | 11:21 |
| oerheks | PHP version (currently 7.0). | 11:21 |
| nacc | cleeter: only install a versioned dep if you need a version (and note that 7.0 is no longer availble, e.g., in 17.10+ (and hopefully, 7.1 will be replaced by 7.2 in 18.04) | 11:22 |
| nacc | cleeter: well, versioned dep is the wrong term, sorry -- versioned package name | 11:22 |
| nacc | cleeter: but as oerheks said, a trivial `apt show` would tell you what you need to know | 11:22 |
| cleeter | dependency package... | 11:24 |
| cleeter | is that the same thing as meta package? Is there a page that explains these terms? | 11:25 |
| bazhang | !metapackage | cleeter | 11:27 |
| ubottu | cleeter: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. | 11:27 |
| bazhang | like ubuntu-desktop cleeter , it drags in all the ubuntu desktop packages | 11:27 |
| cleeter | is a meta package and a dependency package the same thing? | 11:28 |
| nacc | cleeter: no | 11:28 |
| nacc | cleeter: well, not generally | 11:28 |
| nacc | cleeter: i don't know why that terminology is used in this case | 11:28 |
| nacc | cleeter: i think it's meant to reflect that it will always "depend" on the right versioned package | 11:28 |
| nacc | cleeter: wherease a metapackage is a package that has no content and depend on other packages so they all get installed | 11:29 |
| cleeter | OK next question then | 11:31 |
| cleeter | Is it a problem if I have both the php7.0- versions of packages and the php- versions installed at the same time? | 11:31 |
| oerheks | the php7.0-common is the dependenciepackage, the php7.0 the metapackage, afaik | 11:31 |
| nacc | cleeter: well, the php- versions install the php7.0-version | 11:31 |
| nacc | cleeter: but you generally don't want to manually install the php7.0- version, as then when you eventually upgrade, they will stay installed even though they are no longer used | 11:32 |
| cleeter | oerheks: I don't think that's right. | 11:33 |
| cleeter | nacc: Ok, that makes sense | 11:33 |
| cleeter | nacc: can I find out which were manually installed ? | 11:33 |
| nacc | cleeter: i think apt-mark can you show you, but i'm not 100% | 11:33 |
| cleeter | nacc: I think you're right. I just did apt-mark showmanual | 11:35 |
| nacc | cleeter: cool | 11:35 |

| doublel93 | scottjl: what would be the command that I should issue in the root shell to get back on the group ? | 12:15 |
| scottjl | doublel93: vigr then add your user id to the end of the line "sudo" | 12:15 |
| scottjl | or "vi /etc/group" | 12:15 |
| scottjl | or nano if you prefer nano | 12:15 |
| doublel93 | ok thank you | 12:16 |
| Ntemis | hello | 12:16 |
| EriC^^ | doublel93: usermod -aG sudo <your user> | 12:16 |
| S1GM4 | what ever happen to pico | 12:16 |
| scottjl | EriC^^: he doesn't have sudo access, so he can't usermod | 12:17 |
| EriC^^ | scottjl: from single user mode | 12:17 |
| scottjl | EriC^^: oh i guess he could do that from root login. i'm too old school. i just vi the files | 12:17 |
| Ntemis | i have a headache-abled flickering issue in my terminal and while compiling is a pita | 12:17 |
| Ntemis | and way to fix this? | 12:18 |
| S1GM4 | warrrgarble, I have a machine that has about half a dozen domains pointed at the IP it is on. Changing from around 100mbps or so to 500mbps but had to change providers | 12:18 |
| scottjl | Ntemis: close your eyes? look away from screen? watch pr0n? | 12:18 |
| S1GM4 | Please pray for me and my family in this time of need. :( | 12:18 |
| Ntemis | scottjl: turn off your pc | 12:18 |
| S1GM4 | Ntemis: Heroin would be easier to quit. | 12:19 |
| Ntemis | lol | 12:19 |
| Ntemis | i found a solution close to scottjl. i wont be using terminal | 12:20 |
| doublel93 | thanks to that link, I managed to get root access in recovery mode and myself back to the group, now it works, Thanks a lot! | 12:21 |
| scottjl | doublel93: the group file is simply a text file you can edit, might be safer than usermod :-) | 12:22 |
| doublel93 | I agree with you after this experience :p | 12:23 |
| scottjl | same thing for passwd. | 12:23 |
| Southern_Gentlem | scottjl, hopefully your password is encrypted | 12:24 |
| scottjl | Southern_Gentlem: my password isn't in the passwd file, it's in shadow. | 12:24 |
| EriC^^ | there's vigr and vipw | 12:25 |
| Southern_Gentlem | exactly so it will not be in plain text so editing the shadow file will break more than fixing | 12:25 |
| scottjl | Southern_Gentlem: i don't recall telling anyone to edit /etc/shadow directly. | 12:26 |
| scottjl | i said /etc/group and /etc/passwd. | 12:26 |
| EriC^^ | doublel93: scottjl if you ever need to manually edit those files you can use vigr and vipw , it does syntax checking before saving so you dont get locked out | 12:26 |
| scottjl | EriC^^: i've been editing passwd files for over 30 years. i don't really need the checking. :-) | 12:27 |
| EriC^^ | ok :D your pc your call | 12:28 |
| scottjl | i actually manage my users through puppet anyway. at least at work. | 12:28 |

| Disgeae | Hmm.. I got an audio specific question, but I don't really know where to ask elsewise. I wanna buy a Schiit Stack (Modi / Magni) but I'm unsure about the Linux (Ubuntu) support | 12:44 |
| Disgeae | I asked their techs already but get this answer: 'As far as I know ubuntu handles USB Audio Class 2, I'm afraid I don't have any first hand experience with it though.' | 12:45 |

| BluesKaj | solata10: sounds like the mic needs a preamp | 12:51 |
| solata10 | there is nothing like software preamp for alsa or sth? | 12:52 |
| Disgeae | BluesKaj: I'm not sure, I think they're using something of their own tbh, else I knew the answer as well if it works or not | 12:52 |
| solata10 | as i can get nice recording if i amplify with audacity ... | 12:52 |
| solata10 | just looking for something that would do that on-the-fly | 12:53 |
| BluesKaj | Disgeae: I'm sure the techs would know, if it's simalar to my m-audio Delta 192 the most high end cards use the same chips and circuitry | 12:55 |

| dorkmafia | I'm trying to install ubuntu on a HP Z820 | 14:10 |
| dorkmafia | in my bios setting: should I put the video options rom in efi mode | 14:11 |
| rory | dorkmafia: that sounds like an odd option, are you sure "efi" is for that "video options rom"? | 14:12 |
| rory | dorkmafia: what other options apart from efi are there? | 14:12 |
| rory | dorkmafia: OK I think I understand. You should use efi. | 14:14 |
| rory | dorkmafia: Unless it was set to "legacy" before, and you are dual booting with a Windows that was installed in "legacy" mode | 14:14 |
| maze88 | dorkmafi: if you are installing from a USB bootable drive, the BIOS doesn't always recognise it. in that kind of case you should switch to UEFI (i might have completly derailed your question, feel free to disgard if irrelevant). | 14:15 |
| rory | IMO whatever it was on before, leave it on that | 14:15 |
| dorkmafia | rory I want to wipe and install only unbuntu | 14:16 |
| rory | then it doesn't matter. | 14:16 |
| dorkmafia | rory: when I set video options rom to efi mode the cpu gets mad and beeps at me | 14:16 |
| dorkmafia | and I have to reset the bios to get things booting again | 14:16 |
| rory | well I guess you answered your own question then :) | 14:16 |
| rory | try the other option | 14:17 |
| rory | neither of them will blow up your PC | 14:17 |
| dorkmafia | but when I try installing ubuntu the cpu just restarts | 14:17 |
| dorkmafia | after I select Install ubuntu | 14:17 |
| dorkmafia | I select "Install Ubuntu" | 14:17 |
| rory | that *could* just be bad installation media. Try "check installation media for defects" option | 14:17 |
| dorkmafia | i did | 14:18 |
| dorkmafia | i even tried installing from a cd | 14:18 |
| dorkmafia | cd => dvd | 14:18 |
| rory | OK so let me understand. You have 2 options. "efi" and "legacy". When selecting "efi" you are unable to do ANYTHING on your computer. When you select "legacy" you are able to reach the boot menu, but after selecting "install ubuntu" the PC restarts. | 14:19 |
| dorkmafia | so i'm in grub and I select "Install Ubuntu" the screen goes black it tries to switch to the install menu then restarts | 14:19 |
| rory | Is that right? | 14:19 |
| dorkmafia | correct | 14:19 |
| dorkmafia | I'm using similar options to this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/314799-guide-z820-el-capitan-the-great-guide-sucess/ | 14:20 |
| rory | if you change to efi and reboot, are you able to enter the BIOS menu? | 14:20 |
| dorkmafia | rory no I have to flash the bios | 14:20 |
| dorkmafia | My bios settings are the same as the link I pasted except for the video optioms rom | 14:20 |
| rory | I think if one of them is set to EFI, they all should be. And if one is set to legacy, they all should be | 14:21 |
| dorkmafia | k | 14:22 |
| dorkmafia | i can try all legacy | 14:22 |
| dorkmafia | i think I have before but it's been awhile | 14:22 |

| BluesKaj | dorkmafia: you don't have a bios, it's been rteplaced by UEFI | 14:23 |
| dorkmafia | ok | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | no bios pcs have been sold since 2010 | 14:24 |

| BluesKaj | !uefi | 14:25 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware. It is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 14:25 |
| dorkmafia | I set everything to legacy and the computer still just restarts | 14:26 |
| dorkmafia | after I select Install Ubuntu | 14:26 |
| BluesKaj | dorkmafia: you could wipe the drive and use a dos partition table instead of gpt and you won't have to deal with uefi , just choose the legacy mode, rather drastic, but it works | 14:27 |
| dorkmafia | I see this screen: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347445084.png | 14:28 |
| dorkmafia | even when I set everything to legacy | 14:28 |
| BluesKaj | i couldn't make out what was on that screen | 14:30 |
| dorkmafia | on the link you sent me with the !uefi | 14:31 |
| dorkmafia | it says that if you see the black screen with the install ubuntu option | 14:31 |
| dorkmafia | "If the BIOS is set up to boot the CD in UEFI mode, then you will see the screen below:" | 14:31 |
| konrados | Hello. When I use the 'gnome-disk-utility' as suggested here - https://askubuntu.com/a/59077/623186 it tells me 'disk ok, 42 bad sectors'. This is about by sda dra drive. Then when I do smartctl --all /dev/sda I get this: https://fkcd.ca/URL - I can't see information about 'bad sectors' but I can see "Error xyz occurred at disk power-on lifetime" multiple times. Tried to google it, but can't find information what it *means* (only a suggestion | 14:34 |
| konrados | like "You need to look at a 'smartctl -a /dev/hdb |grep -i power_on' to get the current age of the disk" but no explanation what is this error or if I should be worried). | 14:34 |
| konrados | Is there something more I should do? Except for making backups everyday :)? | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | dorkmafia: in bios/uefi make sure you use legacy support in the boot mode, boot priority is legacy first, and usb boot is enabled.If you have bios backflash inconfiguration, enable that too. | 14:37 |
| scottjl | konrados: have smartctl run a test on the drive. | 14:37 |
| dorkmafia | ok let me check | 14:39 |
| scottjl | konrados: i'd recommend a long test. but it can take hours (depending on size of drive) | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | dorkmafia: coorection: in bios/uefi make sure you use legacy support in the boot mode, boot priority, legacy first, and usb boot is enabled. If you have bios backflash in configuration, enable that too. | 14:41 |
| dorkmafia | ok i disabled uefi boot lets see | 14:41 |
| dorkmafia | i'm not sure what bios backflash is | 14:42 |
| dorkmafia | ok I saw this screen | 14:42 |
| dorkmafia | the non uefi one | 14:43 |
| dorkmafia | so that worked | 14:43 |
| dorkmafia | but then the computer just restrated again | 14:43 |
| BluesKaj | dorkmafia: you probly don't have it..depnds on the brand of pc/laptop | 14:43 |
| dorkmafia | hp z820 | 14:43 |
| konrados | scottjl, so that would be #smartctl -t long /dev/sda in my case, right? | 14:44 |
| scottjl | konrados: that sounds about right | 14:46 |
| konrados | scottjl, - thank you! | 14:46 |
| scottjl | let it run a little bit. then you can check it with "smartctl -c /dev/sda" in a little while and it will tell you an estimate on how long to complete. | 14:47 |
| konrados | scottjl, you mean in another terminal window, right? Because I will not gain control in the first one when I'll start the test...? | 14:48 |
| scottjl | konrados: you will get control back. it should run the test in the background | 14:49 |
| konrados | scottjl, ok, got it, thanks! | 14:49 |
| scottjl | konrados: read over this https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/SMART_tests_with_smartctl (or google, there are lots of tutorials out there) | 14:50 |
| ktechmidas | whoevers drinking, have one for me | 14:51 |
| konrados | scottjl, thanks as always:) | 14:53 |
| scottjl | konrados: you're welcome. good luck. bad sectors on a drive are pretty normal. it's when you get too many you should think about replacing the drive. | 14:54 |
| konrados | scottjl, you sure? Because when I'm googling 'disk ok, bad sectors' I see answers like this: https://askubuntu.com/a/550448/623186 - "With bad sectors, you should always immediately backup all important information and get a new hard drive. You can theoretically mark these sectors as "bad"... " - so, should I be worried or not?:) | 14:56 |
| abbottdx | what's the difference between gdb-arm-linux-gnueabi and gdb-arm-none-eabi? | 14:56 |
| scottjl | konrados: pretty much all drives have some bad sectors on them. but usually in the single digits to very very few. it's when you start getting many that you have to worry. | 14:57 |
| abbottdx | tryint to use gdb on an x86_64 machine to debug an arm program running on an arm machine | 14:57 |
| scottjl | konrados: drives will re-map bad sectors to spares automatically. but when they run out of spares you have issues | 14:57 |
| blackflow | konrados: experience shows that once they start cropping up, it's only gonna get worse soon, so yeah, back up often and consider replacing asap | 14:57 |

| benedikt | I thought it was Fn+S for SysRq, I'll try Ctrl+Alt+PrtSc next time | 15:47 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: I don't think I needed fn, but I know it's definitely prtsc on mine | 15:48 |
| makekarm_ | oerheks, I have a mongo instance running, I'm sure it's consuming all memory and cpu. But I'm looking for a tool that can tell me what operation is killing it! | 15:48 |
| maze88 | magic sysreq key combo: ALT + SYSREQ + R/E/I/S/U/B | 15:48 |
| maze88 | i, unfortunately, use it too often. | 15:48 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: that log doesn't look like mine I don't believe. Let me look at the one from this morning | 15:49 |
| maze88 | (note SYSREQ might be activated using an Fn+ button if you are on a laptop) | 15:49 |
| benedikt | tgm4883 maze88: Looks like I had the wrong key combo to make up SysRq, I'll try this one next time and hopefully it will flush out the syslog to disk and have somethng useful | 15:50 |
| oerheks | makekarm_, top, or better install htop can show the use, maybe du can tell you run out of inodes | 15:51 |
| benedikt | https://support.lenovo.com/de/en/solutions/ht074004 this page sys it is Fn+S | 15:51 |
| benedikt | might be a bit hard to hit SysRq+S then :/ | 15:51 |
| makekarm_ | oerheks, Thank you. but I'm looking for a tool which would give me a historical view...probably I should do something like sensu + grafana | 15:52 |
| benedikt | tgm4883: find anything in your syslog? | 15:57 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: nothing exciting I don't think. The problem is that it was froze when I work up this morning, so I don't know the exact time it froze. There's a bunch of stuff in here that looks irrelevant | 16:08 |
| benedikt | for me, it stops writing to syslog when it freezes, but I haven't been able to trigger the magic sysrq so far to REISUB, maybe ill be more successful next time with Alt+Ctrl+PrnSc | 16:09 |
| benedikt | tgm4883: were you on battery or AC when it happened ? | 16:09 |
| tgm4883 | AC both times | 16:09 |
| tgm4883 | wow, litterally 10's of thousands of log entries for systemd-resolved for "switching to fallback DNS server" | 16:11 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: there is a kernel trace from 5:50PM last night | 16:13 |
| pizzaBurger | Hello! Software updater gives me "Not enough free disk space": http://paste.ubuntu.com/25126544/. I know I have 170+ gb free space, how shoul I fix this problem? Running xubuntu 17.04. Thanks! | 16:14 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: you need to remove old, unused kernels it seems | 16:15 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: by using apt-get | 16:15 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: what's the output of 'df -h' and the output of 'uname -a' | 16:15 |
| Sleaker | tgm4883: this is on your boot partition, your boot partition was probably too small. | 16:16 |
| pizzaBurger | tgm4883: I tried 'sudo apt-get clean', nothing happened. The outputs are: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25126578/. | 16:17 |
| tgm4883 | Sleaker: you mean pizzaBurger | 16:18 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: what about the output of 'dpkg -l | grep linux' | 16:18 |
| Sleaker | oh yah. | 16:18 |
| Sleaker | haha | 16:18 |
| Sleaker | pizzaBurger: apt-get clean only cleans temporary package downloads. | 16:18 |
| Sleaker | ie: the apt cache | 16:18 |
| Sleaker | apt-get autoremove will remove old kernels. | 16:19 |
| Sleaker | or usually will, depending on how they were installed. | 16:19 |
| tgm4883 | Sleaker: oh nice, I didn't know it did that. So yea, pizzaBurger you need to run 'apt-get autoremove' | 16:21 |
| pizzaBurger | tgm4883: 'grep linux' is talking some time. 'dpkg -l' output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25126603/. Terminal doesn't scroll all the way up so I guess I can't copy the whole output | 16:22 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: that's ok. you can stop that process. The 'apt-get autoremove' one should be all you need | 16:22 |
| nicomachus | can I see any info about my mobo chipset from lshw? I see CPU and that shows the socket.. | 16:23 |
| nicomachus | oh nvm | 16:24 |
| pizzaBurger | tgm4883: nice, clearing 1,5gb of data. so this command removees old, unused packages? | 16:24 |
| tgm4883 | pizzaBurger: it removes packages that are no longer needed (eg. they were installed by another package that is now removed, old kernels) | 16:25 |
| pizzaBurger | I see Sleaker mentioned that it cleans temporary package downloads | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | the other command you ran did the temp package download cleaning | 16:25 |
| pizzaBurger | so should I be running 'apt-get autoremove' regulary? | 16:25 |
| tgm4883 | You could, it wouldn't hurt anything | 16:26 |
| Sleaker | autoremove attempts to remove packages that apt thinks are no longer needed because you've manually uninstalled a package or updated a package and it left old dependencies on the system | 16:26 |
| Sleaker | it could *potentially* remove something you actually wanted. | 16:26 |
| Sleaker | so it's always a good idea to dobule-check what is getting removed. | 16:26 |
| tgm4883 | That's true | 16:27 |
| pizzaBurger | tgm4883, Sleaker: awesome, everything seems to be working now. Thanks a ton! | 16:29 |

| designbybeck | I've removed my known_hosts file and I still get connection refused when trying to ssh to a remote ip on Ubuntu 16.04 ... Any suggestions? | 16:32 |
| Char|ie | whats in /etc/hosts ? | 16:34 |
| SwedeMike | designbybeck: known_hosts are not used until a connection has actually been established, so those two are not related. | 16:35 |
| designbybeck | Char|ie, this was a new 16.04 server install | 16:35 |
| designbybeck | I'm just spinning up test servers to play with | 16:35 |
| designbybeck | I was able to get into one, then spun up a new one and can't get in this one | 16:36 |
| Char|ie | a brand new vanilla install and it doesnt cooperate with ssh? wat | 16:36 |
| designbybeck | they had different IP addresses and I'm using the new correct IP... I can ping it | 16:36 |
| designbybeck | the first box was Ubuntu 14.04 and that worked first try, this one hasn't | 16:37 |
| Char|ie | Did you run an update first | 16:37 |
| designbybeck | come to think of it no Char|ie | 16:37 |
| Char|ie | sudo apt update | 16:37 |
| designbybeck | I can login via the console, so I can try this.... this is a cloudatcost.com server | 16:37 |
| Char|ie | then apt upgrade | 16:37 |
| Char|ie | try the update first then if its still not working then its probably a network issue, cause vanilla installs shouldnt be having problems | 16:38 |
| designbybeck | doing that now, thanks Char|ie | 16:38 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: did you allow the traffic through whatever FW is up there? | 16:40 |
| Char|ie | are you trying to ssh as root | 16:40 |
| designbybeck | i tried both Char|ie | 16:41 |
| designbybeck | tgm4883, It worked the first time on the first one without any FW stuff | 16:41 |
| designbybeck | Char|ie, it's running upgrade right now | 16:44 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: not sure then. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get to that box. I'm assuming you already installed the ssh server | 16:46 |
| designbybeck | tgm4883, isn't it installed by default? was it in 14.04 but not 16.04 ? maybe that was it | 16:46 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: no it's not installed by default | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: it's an option during install of server | 16:47 |
| designbybeck | hmmm..but it did work in 14.04 tgm4883 I didn't "install ssh" | 16:47 |
| benedikt | tgm4883: can you pastebin me the kernel trace? | 16:47 |
| designbybeck | tgm4883, this was a spin up from a cloudatcost.com server, so they had their own img that is used | 16:47 |
| tgm4883 | designbybeck: IDK, maybe cloudatcost.com futzed with the image. That's likely | 16:48 |
| designbybeck | yeah I'm thinking so on that one tgm4883 | 16:48 |
| tgm4883 | probably not even ubuntu anymore | 16:48 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: one sec | 16:48 |
| designbybeck | they have their on console from the panel I can access via the internet | 16:48 |
| designbybeck | this is still running updates tgm and Char|ie not going to be done for awhile, I'm going to run to lunch and check after. Thanks for the help | 16:51 |
| tgm4883 | benedikt: did you get my PM | 16:52 |
| onitlikesonic | hi all, on ubuntu 16.04 is there any reason why the logrotate would not work for /var/log/syslog ? | 17:04 |
| onitlikesonic | forced a rotation but doesnt seem to work | 17:05 |
| Sleaker | does syslog even exist by default in 16.04? | 17:05 |
| Sleaker | I thought that was replaced with journald | 17:05 |
| onitlikesonic | well... its there | 17:06 |
| thinky | hello | 17:13 |
| thinky | i am having with my ubuntu 16.04 | 17:13 |
| thinky | i dont know why in ubuntu internet connection is very very slow | 17:13 |
| thinky | when i make ADSL speedtest it shows 600-700kbps | 17:13 |
| thinky | actual speed is around 6.8mbps | 17:13 |
| aotaoint1in | what's the throughput to your next upstream hop? | 17:14 |
| thinky | sorry? | 17:14 |
| aotaoint1in | your router. | 17:14 |
| thinky | i dont know what you mean | 17:15 |
| aotaoint1in | based on the information you've provided, it's not clear that it's an issue with ubuntu or your host. | 17:15 |
| aotaoint1in | it could be an issue with your isp | 17:15 |
| TzmFen | when i am adding multiple network interfaces when i put adress 122.312.121.54 (exapmple) should i add same line in broadcast? | 17:15 |
| thinky | when i test on windows and on iphone | 17:15 |
| thinky | speed is 6.8mpbs | 17:15 |
| TzmFen | or the ip with 255 ending | 17:15 |
| thinky | on ubuntu connection is really bad | 17:15 |
| onitlikesonic | Seems to rotate ok in the logs... but it doesnt actually rotate https://pastebin.com/XftzL1cq | 17:15 |
| aotaoint1in | TzmFen: your broadcast address should be host||!netmask, no? | 17:17 |
| ioria | onitlikesonic, there was a bug about it... what's your logrotate version ? | 17:18 |
| TzmFen | aotaoint1in: for main IP it says: as an exampple. 15643.132.xx.255 | 17:18 |
| onitlikesonic | ioria: logrotate 3.8.7 | 17:18 |
| === todd_dsm_ is now known as todd_dsm | ||
| TzmFen | sorry 164.132.xx.255 for the broadcast | 17:18 |
| aotaoint1in | that doesn't help. | 17:19 |
| TzmFen | aotaoint1in: i am looking in my eth0 atm and trying to copy that for adding the others | 17:19 |
| TzmFen | imma pastebin and edit some | 17:19 |
| aotaoint1in | TzmFen: is the netmask 255.255.255.0? | 17:19 |
| ioria | onitlikesonic, can you paste the full version string ? | 17:19 |
| TzmFen | yeah | 17:19 |
| aotaoint1in | TzmFen: then replace the last octet of a host address with 255 to get its broadcast address. | 17:20 |
| onitlikesonic | ioria: this? 3.8.7-2ubuntu2.16.04.1 | 17:20 |
| ioria | it's ok | 17:20 |
| TzmFen | aotaoint1in: that gives me error | 17:20 |
| TzmFen | on webmin. i am doing it that way yes | 17:20 |
| aotaoint1in | i don't know what webmin is, sorry. | 17:21 |
| TzmFen | aotaoint1in: web interface | 17:21 |
| TzmFen | as its a server i am using | 17:21 |
| aotaoint1in | i've never used it. | 17:21 |
| onitlikesonic | ioria: you mean this version is not affected? | 17:21 |
| ioria | onitlikesonic, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/logrotate/+bug/1630516 | 17:22 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1630516 in One Hundred Papercuts "Logrotate doesn't clean old system logs, allowing them to fill the disk" [Critical,Triaged] | 17:22 |
| aotaoint1in | the broadcast address and network address can both be calculated from the host address and the netmask. | 17:22 |
| TzmFen | ah ok | 17:22 |
| aotaoint1in | network = host & netmask | 17:22 |
| aotaoint1in | broadcast = host | !netmask | 17:23 |
| onitlikesonic | ioria: yakkety :( any for xenial ? | 17:24 |
| onitlikesonic | oh, found it | 17:24 |
| aotaoint1in | since you said your host is on a /24 (i.e. has a netmask of 255.255.255.0), to compute the broadcast address, you replace the last octet with 255. | 17:24 |
| onitlikesonic | same as i have | 17:24 |
| Cobrax | cant wait for ubuntu GNOME again | 17:24 |
| Cobrax | i cant rice gnome to look like ambiance | 17:24 |
| ioria | onitlikesonic, check #29 comment | 17:25 |
| onitlikesonic | ioria: yeah same version as i have so guess it isnt fixed :/ | 17:25 |
| ioria | yep | 17:25 |

| davidfetter | hi | 18:15 |
| davidfetter | i have a VPC with Ubuntu 16.06 LTS running on it. I'm pretty happy with it so far, with one little exception | 18:15 |
| davidfetter | it appears to default to dark backgrounds for terminals, and my eyesight is such that this doesn't work for me. is there some way to change that default? | 18:16 |
| EriC^^ | VPC ? | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | virtual pc? | 18:17 |
| davidfetter | yeah, it's on Gandi, if that matters | 18:17 |
| davidfetter | "virtual private server" | 18:17 |
| EriC^^ | vps | 18:18 |
| * davidfetter needs more coffee, as his typing is not good at the moment | 18:18 | |
| davidfetter | right | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | davidfetter: Terminal -> right click -> Profiles -> Profile Preferences -> "Colors" tab. | 18:18 |
| EriC^^ | davidfetter: no worries, do you have a gui with that ubuntu vps? | 18:18 |
| nicomachus | It's probably set to use system colors. just set manually. | 18:18 |
| davidfetter | um, it's not a desktop | 18:18 |
| EriC^^ | or is it just a server command line | 18:18 |
| davidfetter | server | 18:18 |
| davidfetter | i just happen to do a bunch of stuff at the command line. | 18:19 |
| EriC^^ | davidfetter: it depends on the way you're accessing it, if it's via putty for instance you should configure putty | 18:19 |
| iopq | Help, when I hit Ctrl+5 the 5 key down doesn't register | 18:19 |
| scottjl | davidfetter: if you're on the console, man setterm | 18:19 |
| jhutchins_wk | davidfetter: So you're not on a physical console, you're connecting through an app, ssh or putty or something. | 18:19 |
| davidfetter | for example, when i quit mutt (don't laugh! it works for me), the colors change to dark background | 18:19 |
| scottjl | i <3 mutt | 18:19 |
| Es0teric | leftyfb ah i see now | 18:20 |
| nicomachus | mutt is great | 18:20 |
| Es0teric | i had to completely take a snapshot and update my droplet | 18:20 |
| jhutchins_wk | I never could figure out the mutt config file, I use (al)pine. | 18:20 |
| davidfetter | once i did figure it out, it was so useful that i've never had the energy to replicate all the functionality. be that as it may, is there something that could be causing this reversion? | 18:21 |
| davidfetter | basically, i want to make everything "solarized light" and leave it that way | 18:22 |
| jhutchins_wk | What happens if you do "reset"? | 18:22 |
| cipher6 | Anyone ran Ubuntu desktop without a GUI succesfully? Trying to force myself to be better in the terminal, but at the moment I'm having to boot to GUI then ^A+F1 and working from there | 18:22 |
| cipher6 | And am losing system performance b/c gui is still running on 7. | 18:23 |
| jhutchins_wk | cipher6: An idle GUI shouldn't cost much resources, but you can disable the DM - gdm, lightdm, whateverdm - to boot without it. | 18:24 |
| davidfetter | reset works. i just don't want to have to say it all the time | 18:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | davidfetter: Alias it. | 18:24 |
| jhutchins_wk | davidfetter: mutt=mutt&&reset. | 18:25 |
| cipher6 | jhutchins_wk: where would I go to disable the dsktpmgr? | 18:25 |
| cipher6 | grub? | 18:25 |
| cipher6 | Actually, I don't even have grub on this laptop...hmm. | 18:25 |
| davidfetter | jhutchins_wk, yeah, that's a little more hacky than i'm looking for. there's also an issue around less :P | 18:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | cipher6: Actually, systemctl set-default multi-user.target | 18:26 |
| cipher6 | hmm...might req a little more research b/c I'm not understanding, but I'll give it a go and check back in | 18:26 |
| jhutchins_wk | multu-user.target is the equivalent of SysV runlevel 3, everything except GUI. | 18:27 |
| amirite | we've got init/service scripts in /etc/systemd/system, /etc/init.d/ and /etc/init. how do i view and/or control the run order and dependency between services distributed between the 3 locations? | 18:27 |
| genii | systemd runs first, after everything in it's own direct control runs, the old upstart things in /etc/init run. The last script in /etc/init is a script which runs original sysvinit stuff in /etc/init.d | 18:29 |

| TheWild | hello | 18:42 |
| TheWild | hey, how I can rely on apt repository when software is often not up to date? | 18:42 |
| TheWild | youtube-dl for example seems to be completely unreliable | 18:43 |
| limbo_ | Add a ppa to your system. | 18:44 |
| fidel37 | you should update youtube-dl via pip | 18:44 |
| limbo_ | webupd8 has a much newer version of youtube-dl | 18:44 |
| limbo_ | in their PPA. | 18:44 |
| limbo_ | fidel37: Do you have any idea how to auto-update everything installed with pip? | 18:45 |

| eising | Hey, is there a way to purge packages from a specific repository? I know of ppa-purge, but in this instance, the packages didn't originate from ppa | 19:09 |
| nicomachus | `purge` | 19:11 |
| nicomachus | `apt purge --remove <package>` | 19:12 |
| eising | nicomachus: from a specific (third party) repository | 19:14 |
| xppx | hi | 19:14 |
| xppx | ubuntu 64 bit is lag in my virtual box with 1gb ram allocated to it | 19:14 |
| xppx | will it be reasonable to change to ubuntu 32 bit? | 19:14 |
| eising | xppx: that won't change anything | 19:15 |
| eising | xppx: the main difference between 32 bit and 64 bit is whether it can address more than 4GB RAM | 19:15 |
| nicomachus | xppx: do you have 3D acceleration enabled? | 19:16 |
| xppx | nicomachus yes | 19:17 |
| xppx | i even max out the video memory allocation | 19:18 |
| xppx | eising i see. i didnt know that | 19:18 |
| kenrin | If you want it to be smooth give it more RAM | 19:18 |
| xppx | kenrin i tried 1.99gb but doesnt work | 19:18 |
| xppx | kerin the virtualbox is complaining when giving it more than 50% ram | 19:19 |
| kenrin | So you are saying your host computer is crappy. I don't think you can fix that but you could try a lower usage DE like xfce | 19:20 |
| xppx | oh actually i can give it more than 50% ram it was just a warning | 19:20 |
| xppx | letsee | 19:20 |
| xppx | DE? | 19:20 |
| kenrin | Desktop environment | 19:21 |
| akik | xppx: did you enable 3d acceleration on the vm? | 19:21 |
| xppx | well i dont care about desktop enviroment. what will be the most lightweight de one? | 19:21 |
| xppx | akik yes thats the last thing i did | 19:21 |
| genii | xppx: Lubuntu | 19:22 |
| akik | xppx: there's also a vboxmanage command to raise the video ram from 128 megs to 256 megs | 19:22 |
| genii | ..so LXDE | 19:22 |
| akik | xppx: VBoxManage modifyvm "Name of VM" --vram 256 | 19:22 |
| xppx | genjii lubuntu is another os? | 19:24 |
| ioria | xppx, you can install lubuntu-desktop from your unity session; logout and login in the lubuntu session (warning: not easy to remove that after installed) | 19:27 |
| xppx | i see thanks. what do you mean not easy to remove? | 19:28 |
| xppx | its just in the vm so doesnt matter if anything is messed up | 19:28 |
| ioria | xppx, there are a lot of pkgs in a DE, so removing lubuntu-desktop or lxde, or lxsession does not remove what it brings with | 19:29 |
| wagle | hi -- howdoes one *force* apt to cleanup a mess of half missing packages? | 19:31 |

| cyphex | Hi. I installed Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) on my dad's computer and the scrolling in chrome and firefox is very choppy/laggy. Scrolling in the default browser that comes with the distro is fine. Is there any way to fix this issue? | 19:34 |
| cyphex | (*chromium not chrome) | 19:35 |
| ioria | cyphex, the default should be ff | 19:35 |
| wagle | genii: didnt work, not sure what the key error is | 19:35 |
| ioria | wagle, maybe paste the errors ? | 19:35 |
| xppx | is the Ubuntu default environment the real reason why it lags in vm? | 19:35 |
| cyphex | ioria: There was another browser installed that is named simply Browser. Firefox was indeed the default browser though, my bad. | 19:35 |
| wagle | ioria: yeah, working on that, I'm slow sometimes | 19:36 |
| ioria | xppx, 1 G for unity (in my opinion) is not enough | 19:36 |
| xppx | ioria i tried 2.5gb but still the same | 19:37 |
| ioria | xppx, let's try lubuntu-desktop.... after that it's a vm misconfiguration ? | 19:38 |
| xppx | ioria theres is not lubuntu session here | 19:39 |
| ioria | !info lubuntu-desktop | 19:40 |
| ubottu | lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.75 (zesty), package size 2 kB, installed size 14 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; armhf) | 19:40 |

| kenrin | I think he just doesn't have a fast enough comp for virtualization. You got like 4gb ram on host right xppx ? | 19:41 |
| ioria | wagle, lilo ? | 19:41 |
| akik | xppx: also, did you install the vbox guest additions? | 19:41 |
| xppx | kenrin yea | 19:42 |
| wagle | ioria: what about it? | 19:42 |
| kenrin | I've never had a comp that had 4gb work good at hosting VMs, they barely function bare metal | 19:42 |
| xppx | akik for what? | 19:42 |
| akik | xppx: the guest additions contain the 3d acceleration support | 19:43 |
| wagle | i should be using grub | 19:43 |
| ioria | yep | 19:43 |
| ioria | wagle, where it comes from ? | 19:44 |
| quarters | hello. I noticed that terminator started to resize automatically everytime I just simply drag it. I was wondering how to stop this behavior | 19:44 |
| xppx | akik i dont know if this is silly but im able to enable/disable 3d acceleration in my vm | 19:44 |
| akik | xppx: it doesn't matter if you don't have the guest additions installed | 19:45 |
| wagle | ioria: dont understand your question, sorry | 19:45 |
| xppx | so i apt get now the lubuntu | 19:45 |
| Jonii | How do I change mouse sensitivity on ubuntu 17.04? | 19:45 |
| Jonii | Settings menu does nothing. xset m 100 0 does nothing | 19:45 |
| ioria | wagle, ubuntu does not use lilo | 19:45 |
| Jonii | I don't know what else to do | 19:45 |
| wagle | well, nor am i, I thought | 19:46 |
| ioria | wagle, run-parts: /etc/initramfs/post-update.d//runlilo exited with return code 1 | 19:47 |
| kenrin | quarters: This might help but I'm not sure which option you need: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/terminator_config.5.html | 19:47 |
| wagle | not my fault | 19:47 |
| wagle | ioria: but how to I rip it out? | 19:47 |
| wagle | ioria: but how do I rip it out? | 19:48 |
| ioria | wagle, dpkg -l | grep lilo | 19:48 |
| wagle | ii lilo 1:24.2-1 amd64 LInux LOader - the classic OS boot loader | 19:49 |
| ioria | wagle, why it's installed ? | 19:49 |
| wagle | ihave no idea | 19:49 |
| quarters | kenrin: thank you. geometry hinting being enabled was what made it weird | 19:50 |
| wagle | ioria: how do I get rid of it? | 19:50 |
| kenrin | I thought that was the one doing it but I wasn't sure =) | 19:50 |
| xppx | ioria ill come back tomorrow i have to sleep now 3:51am | 19:51 |
| xppx | lol thanks everyone | 19:51 |

| __Yiota | am I missing something? | 20:40 |
| jhutchins_wk | wishe: In the mixer, try muting things one by one until you find which channel is causing the hiss. | 20:41 |
| wishe | Ok rory | 20:41 |
| warri0rr | Is the power supply properly grounded? | 20:41 |
| wishe | warri0rr: probably not | 20:41 |
| wishe | It is connected through a UK power connector from EU version | 20:42 |
| warri0rr | that might be the cause | 20:42 |
| wishe | But this does not explain the issue with the microphone. It is dead | 20:43 |
| === ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom | ||
| jhutchins_wk | Perhaps the jack is a stereo audio out only. | 20:43 |

| jhutchins_wk | wishe: I believe the mic shows up whether there's one plugged in or not. | 20:45 |
| wishe | jhutchins_wk: When i plug in the jack i get a Headset Microphone device in my audio control | 20:46 |
| wishe | And it goes away when i unplug it | 20:46 |
