[00:09] <edwinksl> devster31: maybe pipe it to `cat`?
[00:14] <wedgie> devster31: if you just want stdout printed to the screen then why use the pipe at all?
[00:14] <wedgie> devster31: i suspect that i'm not understanding what you're trying to do
[00:16] <devster31> lighttpd accepts a binary as access.log, I wanted to print to stdout
[00:18] <devster31> and for some reason using 'STDOUT' gives me a permission error
[00:23] <blackdalek> I done messed up the install of ubuntu-restricted-extras :/ .... I didn't notice the MS TTF core fonts download agreement window hiding behind the terminal window until after I closed the terminal window, so it never downloaded. Now I can't get it to install because sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras is convinced I've already run the installer and so it won't let me run it again.
[00:23] <quarters> my version of neovim that I got off of the apt repository seems to issue the following message when running with either powerline or floobits: "You need vim compiled with Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later support for Powerline to work" Is there a way for me to find an already compiled version of neovim to get rid of this message or will I have to learn how to compile neovim using python?
[00:25] <vbotka> devster31, "utility that accepts text from a pipe and echoes that same text" is "buffer". But maybe "tee" is what you are looking for?
[00:26] <sary> blackdalek: sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras , might help!
[00:27] <blackdalek> sary, yes... I just realised that 2 seconds after sending my question lol
[00:28] <sary> :)
[00:28] <blackdalek> forgot there was a --reinstall option
[00:34] <blackdalek> Does anyone know why in Xchat-GNOME, Nickserv always says "Invalid password for BlackDalek" then 2 seconds later says "You are now identified for BlackDalek. 2 failed logins since last login. Last failed attempt from:..." ? It is just enough that it throws me into  #ubuntu-unregged every time I connect and I always have to switch channels. A bit annoying...
[00:35] <toothfairy_> Hmm anybody have a clue?  -rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 13874 Jul 21 22:25 rose  ... rose is member of group vmail but in syslog: user rose. destination /var/mail/rose is not owned by recipient)   Any ideas?
[00:36] <blackdalek> Is Xchat sending the login information to Nickserv too late and is there any way to speed it up so it doesn't get caught by the IRC server and throw me to #ubuntu-unregged every time?
[00:37] <sary> blackdalek: does xchat have sasl built-in support , or a script .. maybe you want to auth with sasl i never have issue with it using irssi.
[00:37] <sary> look at the xchat docs for that , and maybe it's there in freenode's website too.
[00:39] <sary> blackdalek: here you go https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl , xchat is missing from the list!
[00:40] <blackdalek> sary, which IRC client do you use?
[00:40] <sary> blackdalek: irssi .
[01:34] <quarters> if I like the vim key-binding and the way tmux plays with powerline, but have used terminator exclusively up until now, and I feel like using both is a bit redundant, I was wondering if anyone might have any recommendations
[02:16] <boblamont> Can someone that knows what they're doing take a quick look at this bash script and verify it looks ok? I'm not sure about line 7, particularly how I escaped the closing bracket (the group of characters to replace in within a pair of brackets, but I also want to replace any brackets in the filenames). Also, this will have no affect on the files on the source drive, correct?
[02:16] <boblamont> https://pastebin.com/vsMiuBjj
[02:19] <Ben64> boblamont: probably better to ask in #bash
[02:20] <boblamont> Ben64: will do, thanks (I didn't realize #bash existed!)
[02:47] <quarters> I had asked about mutt here and alternatives and got a link to this: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/08/msg00564.html . I never got aroudn to asking what the motivation behind the link was
[03:16] <azizLIGHT> im in a vm, and expanded the disk but my / is still same size. how can i resize while booted?
[03:17] <azizLIGHT> do i have to boot a livecd in the vm and expand with gparted? id rather not shut down
[03:17] <oerheks> azizLIGHT, not.
[03:17] <oerheks> one does not expand partitions of a running system
[03:18] <oerheks> so you resized the vm, not the / partition.
[03:19] <azizLIGHT> yea
[03:19] <azizLIGHT> i have unallocated space in the disk that i want to give to the / partition
[03:20] <oerheks> well, you can edit partitions with a mouse in gparted. but not on a running vm.
[03:20] <azizLIGHT> oh well
[03:23] <azizLIGHT> are you sure of that, i sort of remember that i was able to expand the filesystem on a raspberry pi using their raspi-config utility
[03:23] <azizLIGHT> while running
[03:23] <kk4ewt> azizLIGHT,  totally different
[03:25] <oerheks> no, i am not sure, go try it :-D lolz
[03:25] <oerheks> man o man
[03:25] <azizLIGHT> how is it different kk4ewt
[03:26] <WetVacAbortion> hello all.
[03:27] <tgm4883> WetVacAbortion: this isn't a chatting channel, do you have a question?
[03:28] <WetVacAbortion> i'm trying to figure this whole thing out, idk where i fit in lol sorry i'll leave
[05:05] <BlackDalek> if I started the deluged daemon and deluge-web, what is the proper way to stop these things running cleanly?
[05:06] <Budgie^Smore> Is there a good way to stop login unless a certain usb drive is attached?
[05:42] <BlackDalek> I tried adding the deluged daemon in the Ubuntu Startup Applications preferences, but it did not work/start. Are daemons not permitted to be entered into the Startup Applicatons?
[05:49] <BlackDalek> no much activity in here. Everyone asleep now?

[05:54] <BlackDalek> oops.. hand on spacebar.. sorry :(
[06:07] <BlackDalek> I tried adding the deluged daemon in the Ubuntu Startup Applications preferences, but it did not work/start. Are daemons not permitted to be entered into the Startup Applicatons?
[06:10] <oerheks> BlackDalek, indeed, you followed this guide, and enabled the service on startup with systemd > udo systemctl enable /etc/systemd/system/deluged.servicesudo systemctl start deluged
[06:10] <oerheks> so it is running already, sudo systemctl status deluged
[06:13] <BlackDalek> oerheks, true... but I think I messed something up because I was getting lots of errors and my 17.04 install made matters worse and I could not figure out how to fix it so reinstalled 16.04 and deluge... now I was investigating if there were alternative methods to make the deluged daemon start on bootup.
[06:14] <BlackDalek> But if there isn't I'll try running with systemd again, but first I need to do more research so I don't muck it up again
[06:14] <oerheks>  16.04 works with systemd also
[06:16] <BlackDalek> Another major problem I had after following the online guide for setting it up with systemd was that I could not figure out how to migrate my torrent files and states info to where the daemon expected them to be... :(
[06:18] <jerichowasahoax> BlackDalek: you sure it didn't just fork itself into the background
[06:18] <jerichowasahoax> ps ax | grep deluge
[06:19] <BlackDalek> So currently I don't have anything set up to start automatically at boot up. I have my torrent files & states back under ~/Downloads and ~/.config/deluge and I need to open a terminal and start the deluged daemon and deluge-web manually.
[06:20] <sary> http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd
[06:21] <oerheks> sary +1 that is the manual he used/should use again, or the same story here .. http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html
[06:22] <BlackDalek> jerichowasahoax, I'm not even sure what that means, but I typed it anyway and it outputted two lines with (probably) useful information. I however am none the wiser as to it's meaning.
[06:23] <sary> oerheks: right ,we should follow the official docs!
[06:24] <BlackDalek> Sary, yes.. that's the guide I tried earlier. But I think that guide is maybe expecting the user to not have already installed and ran the full client first. That's why all my torrents are in ~/Downloads and ~/config/deluge... and the daemon can't find them
[06:26] <BlackDalek> Except if I just install deluged and deluge-web with apt and DO NOT follow any steps in the guide. THEN I can start them both from terminal and it can find my torrent files/settings without issue... it is only after following the guide that it gets lost and can't find anyting
[06:26] <oerheks> there is a guide to move the torrents, not to add them again..
[06:26] <BlackDalek> oerheks, there is? I couldn't find one :/
[06:29] <oerheks> in deluge itself> menu > torrent > move storage
[06:31] <BlackDalek> oerheks, oh ok. Also... just now reading that guide at www.havetheknowhow... had not seen that before. It seems to have additional info not present in the other guide.
[06:36] <jerichowasahoax> BlackDalek: sorry, for some reason I didn't hear my irc client ding
[06:36] <jerichowasahoax> BlackDalek: that command listed all process running in your computer with "deluge" somewhere in their command line (including, frequently, the "grep" command itself)
[06:37] <jerichowasahoax> BlackDalek: two lines of output, for this particular usage of that command, mean deluge is definitely running as of now
[07:16] <deostroll> somewhere in my vm installation I manually chose to not install the boot loader...I was expecting that it would setup the MBR automatically...but didn't
[07:17] <deostroll> now while booting the virtual machine...it says no bootable medium found...
[07:17] <deostroll> how can I fix this...?
[07:35] <oerheks> deostroll, reinstall would be an option
[07:35] <oerheks> if you had started it right away, you would be done by now
[07:37] <deostroll> okay during reinstall, how to not install grub
[07:38] <oerheks> grub = bootloader ...
[07:39] <deostroll> I just want to bypass the grub when the os boots
[07:39] <deostroll> directly boot my operating system
[07:40] <oerheks> that is what normally happens, you won't see the grub menu, unless you hold shift or esc on boot.
[07:41] <oerheks> you will need grub, else you cannot have 2 kernels, 1 for recovery and 1 current
[07:41] <deostroll> on a virtual machine I guess that is okay
[07:42] <oerheks> i just told you it is not oke, but go ahead, find out
[08:07] <Cobrax> I'm looking to organize my machine
[08:07] <Cobrax> i.e RSS feeds, emails, stored passwords
[08:07] <Cobrax> whilst also attempting to be as secures as i can be
[08:07] <Cobrax> mostly automating things as well, what things can i do?
[08:11] <elky> Cobrax: i'm not really sure what your question is
[08:14] <glachas> Whenever I am creating folder with the name "tmp_depth_files" Files closes down. I don't know why.
[08:15] <elky> Cobrax: if it's recommendation via word association, rss -> tt-rss, email -> gmail or fastmail, passwords -> keepass, backups -> duplicity
[08:16] <elky> glachas: creating a folder where and what do you mean by "Files closes down"? what desktop?
[08:16] <glachas> elky: sorry, In some directory which is in home directory
[08:17] <Cobrax> elky, is it safe to intergrate keepass into the browser via addon on firefox
[08:18] <glachas> elky: Files launcher closes down
[08:18] <elky> Cobrax: i haven't done so, i don't know about the security implications but i would be skeptical
[08:18] <Cobrax> elky, understood
[08:19] <elky> glachas: so like dolphin or nautilus?
[08:19] <glachas> elky: nautilus
[08:19] <Cobrax> https://boards.4chan.org/g/thread/61497391
[08:19] <Cobrax> please fill out the form for default software for ubuntu 18.04 lts
[08:20] <elky> glachas: and this happened once or many times?
[08:21] <glachas> elky: but I am able to create folder with the same name in any directory.
[08:21] <glachas> I tried many times'
[08:23] <elky> Cobrax: i don't feel comfortable with you linking that, it's quite rude
[08:23] <Cobrax> why
[08:23] <glachas> its a chain of directory: home->dir1->dir2->dir3->dir4->"not  able to create here" but other than this folder can be created
[08:25] <Cobrax> elky, i do not respect trigger warnings
[08:25] <oerheks> Cobrax, not such a nice post, "UBUNTU 18.04 DEFAULT APP SERVEY IS HERE, F******" ... so i won't fill your silly survey
[08:25] <oerheks> Cobrax, better spread this one > http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/ubuntu-wants-know-apps-think-default-survey
[08:25] <Cobrax> oh
[08:26] <Cobrax> they need to get ssl
[08:26] <Cobrax> its annoying =P
[08:26] <elky> Cobrax: yeah apparently calling people homophobic slurs makes them not want to help you
[08:26] <elky> funny that
[08:26] <Cobrax> it isn't my post
[08:32] <elky> Cobrax: we'd prefer if you exercise some discretion with the links you post in here anyway
[08:33] <Cobrax> we?
[08:40] <maja> howzit all, i got maybe a silly question about reseting mysql-server-5.7. When i do it i get told i need to --force and that just
[08:40] <maja>               tells me the same :(
[08:40] <maja> its most vexing
[08:42] <maja> is there just something i am not getting ?

[08:42] <maja> This installation of MySQL is already upgraded to 5.7.19, use --force if you still need to run mysql_upgrade
[08:42] <maja> all i want todo is reset root password
[08:49] <oerheks> maja, on what ubuntu version?
[08:50] <oerheks> for 16.04 and up > https://coderwall.com/p/j9btlg/reset-the-mysql-5-7-root-password-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts
[08:50] <oerheks> * Note that if you are using mysql-server-5.7 you can not use the easier dpkg-reconfigure method
[08:50] <maja> oerheks: 17
[08:51] <oerheks> this has been recently changed
[08:51] <oerheks> oke, then follow that guide
[08:51] <maja> oerheks: thanks :)
[08:52] <maja> oerheks: i have been trying so many ways to reconfigure it but dpkg just don't want to
[08:52] <oerheks> correct, that is the old method.
[08:53] <maja> oerheks: super sweet thanks !
[08:54] <oerheks> maja have fun!
[08:55] <maja> hum mysql-workbench is not working... fuck it restart
[08:58] <IhrFussel> Anytime between 5 minutes - 24 hours after running my PC suddenly locks up with a corrupted screen ... it doesn't matter what I do while it happens (it happened in a game, while surfing or even while being idle) ... could it be a bad sector in my GPU chip?
[08:59] <Onepamopa> IhrFussel, there's no "sectors" in the GPU :)
[09:00] <Onepamopa> try running a stress test on the GPU and on the CPU (separately)
[09:01] <IhrFussel> Onepamopa, can you recommend me a tool for Ubuntu?

[09:12] <Dreaman> new kernel
[09:18] <sonu_nk> strange i dont have more option in Ubuntu setting http://imgur.com/a/1ozaz
[09:18] <sonu_nk> what could be isue and how to solve ?
[09:24] <AggregatedExcept> hi, I have a Netty based Java TCP server
[09:24] <oerheks> sonu_nk, reinstall ubuntu-desktop, seen that before https://askubuntu.com/questions/466720/system-settings-icons-missing-in-14-04
[09:24] <AggregatedExcept> I will create a GWT based web interface for admin (to change tcp port etc.) and users (to view incoming messages)
[09:24] <AggregatedExcept>  so the TCP server will run in a servlet on Tomcat (or maybe I will use embedded Jetty, not decided yet)
[09:25] <AggregatedExcept> the web browser will run in kiosk mode, thus I need to make available on web interface to change network settings (DHCP / static) and configure NTP server
[09:25] <oerheks> AggregatedExcept, what is Netty based Java TCP server ?
[09:25] <oerheks> not ubuntu server, is it?
[09:25] <AggregatedExcept>  what is the best approach to solve this, can somebody give me some advice?
[09:25] <AggregatedExcept> Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers
[09:26] <oerheks> AggregatedExcept, ah oke, never heard of it before.
[09:26] <warri0rr> What have you done?
[09:27] <warri0rr> what is your question?
[09:28] <AggregatedExcept> how can edit system files (like ntp.conf) from a java servlet?
[09:29] <AggregatedExcept> it needs root access to edit the file
[09:29] <warri0rr> Well, you use Java i/o interface to do that and yes it needs root access
[09:29] <AggregatedExcept> but servlet is running by tomcat user
[09:29] <warri0rr> give tomcat user permission to edit that file
[09:29] <warri0rr> I think that's possible with sudo
[09:32] <AggregatedExcept> warri0rr: thanks, i will try it and come back if the problem will be more exact
[09:47] <sawmj> following this wikipage to bridging network with a wireless nic .. as far as i understand that i need to know every machines' IP and MAC. is there any other way to bridging the two

[09:53] <ktosiek> Hi! I have a problem with Evolution/gnome-keyring-daemon on 17.04
[09:54] <ktosiek> I have unlocked the keyring through seahorse, but Evolution still can't access the secret's storage
[09:55] <ktosiek> how do I debug this?
[09:58] <ktosiek> oh, seems GOA is down too
[10:19] <rud0lf> apt -h doesn't show much.. how do i know if package with given name exists without installing it?
[10:19] <SCHAPiE> rud0lf› apt search something

[10:59] <toothfairy_> Hmm anybody have a clue?  -rw-rw---- 1 vmail vmail 13874 Jul 21 22:25 rose  ... rose is member of group vmail but in syslog: user rose. destination /var/mail/rose is not owned by recipient)   Any ideas?
[11:00] <lightpriest> I'm trying to "fix" gnome-shell to display nicely on HiDPI, but nothing seems to have a perfect fit (used tweak tool and xrandr to change scale). Under unity it worked better, am I missing something? Are there any good, known, working solutions out there?
[11:09] <ktosiek> toothfairy_: but rose is not an *owner* of that file
[11:09] <ktosiek> so the message is correct :-)
[11:15] <maze88> hey, n00b question: what's the significant difference between r and x permissions? theoretically couldn't a user with r (and without x) permissions read the contents of some file...then write it in his own ownership where he then could execute it?
[11:16] <oerheks> maze88, basicly yes, reading allows copying
[11:17] <maze88> so there must be a deeper more important reason beyond that, for having seperate permissions for r and x...
[11:18] <l1Ll1Ll1L> maze88, one reason I can think of is that an executable can be set to run as the owning user
[11:18]  * maze88 gets all philosophical when learning computers. 
[11:18] <oerheks> r and x and w
[11:18] <l1Ll1Ll1L> ie root
[11:18] <l1Ll1Ll1L> whereas your copy is owned by you
[11:18] <maze88> l1Ll1Ll1L: i see where you're going here... for instance with the file passwd
[11:20] <l1Ll1Ll1L> well maze88 I was thinking along the lines of a program that could do damage if run as root, but not if run as a normal user
[11:27] <cr1t1cal> whenever I use a bitmap font on my gnome-terminal
[11:27] <cr1t1cal> and the font I use is small
[11:27] <cr1t1cal> the font gets really blurry
[11:27] <cr1t1cal> and without anti-aliasing it looks really weird being bold in some places and not in others
[11:35] <MrCrackPotBuilde> hi guys quick question
[11:35] <MrCrackPotBuilde> my graphics work fine however
[11:35] <MrCrackPotBuilde> when i plug in hdmi im left with a trailing mouse
[11:36] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i've tried installing nvidia-375 364 and a range of others but none work
[11:36] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: i would plug in hdmi while the pc is off
[11:36] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: and the tv both
[11:38] <MrCrackPotBuilde> tried
[11:38] <MrCrackPotBuilde> i even tried the two different hdmi ports one is standard size the other mini
[11:39] <MrCrackPotBuilde> when i plug in my usb monitor the same thing happens
[11:39] <MrCrackPotBuilde> after unplugging everything the dodgy mouse continues
[11:40] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: i would try a different desktop environment
[11:40] <MrCrackPotBuilde> any suggestions
[11:40] <MrCrackPotBuilde> its for a media server
[11:40] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: i would try it with something simple like windowmaker
[11:40] <MrCrackPotBuilde> currently im using unity
[11:41] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: hey you can just try to boot into standard gnome, without unity
[11:41] <MrCrackPotBuilde> media centre sorry not server
[11:41] <MrCrackPotBuilde> how do i do that
[11:41] <maze88> MrCrackPotBuilde: one factor to consider is if your computer also has/uses integrated graphics (like my laptop: intel hd620 + geforce940mx).
[11:41] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: you should log out and shoose standart gnome to log in with
[11:41] <MrCrackPotBuilde> ok let me try that if im back in two mins it didnt work hahah
[11:41] <badsektor> MrCrackPotBuilde: ok good luck!
[11:42] <MrCrackPotBuilde> and in advance thanks for your help
[11:42] <maze88> MrCrackPotBuilde: within my quests to configure mine to work well, one thing that was worth trying was actually using older drivers. though your case is only similar to mine, the approach may help...trying version 340 or 346.
[12:03] <dudeji> Hi , after i go to vpn my browsing stops but ip based websites still work. how to fix that
[12:13] <oe1skw> hello, i have a ubuntu 16.04.02 Server and ubuntu 16.04.02 clients. I want to set up a iptables firewall on the server and rout all traffic from the client through the server firewall to the internet. Does someone have an advice hoew to do that in a proper way?
[12:16] <Superola> Can someone help me with port opening? After several hours on google im cranky xD
[12:18] <oe1skw> @superola in the local network or with a router to the internet?
[12:20] <silv3r_m00n> hi
[12:20] <Exterminador> hello. I have windows and xubuntu installed in dual boot mode. I'd like to reinstall windows, but I've been told that the boot will be messed up.
[12:20] <silv3r_m00n> i am using 16.10 64bit and want to install a very old version of firefox 32bit browser. i downloaded firefox 3 standalone and when i try to run it, it says ./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libXft.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:20] <silv3r_m00n> is there some way to fix it ?
[12:20] <oerheks> Exterminador, sure, windows overwrites the bootsector, but no worry, you can easily reinstall grub after that
[12:20] <botho> hi
[12:21] <oerheks> !grub
[12:21] <Superola> oe1skw ehm, dedicated machine xD
[12:22] <oe1skw> suoerla which port is it? you want to acces a port on your machine from your machine
[12:22] <Exterminador> oerheks: thanks! I'll take a look into that.
[12:22] <Superola> octanium 8125
[12:22] <Superola> oe1skw **
[12:24] <oe1skw> superola what does sudo netstat -tulpen | grep "8125"  ?
[12:24] <Superola> should i type that ?
[12:25] <oe1skw> in a terminal
[12:26] <Superola> https://pastebin.com/ts81DfuY
[12:28] <BlackDalek> hi
[12:31] <Exterminador> oerheks: I guess that's default to xubuntu 16.04.2 too, right?
[12:32] <Superola> oe1skw suggestions ?
[12:33] <BlackDalek> Just looking at these two guides for achieving the same thing... the deluged.service scripts for each guide is different. Which is better script to use and what's the difference? (assume I can't read scripting language :P). Here - http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd and here - http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-the-software/Install-Deluge-Headless.html
[12:33] <oe1skw> superola re after net problems because of mobile internet  what is the netstat output
[12:34] <Superola> https://pastebin.com/ts81DfuY i put it in here =)
[12:34] <oe1skw> so the service is started
[12:35] <Superola> yes
[12:35] <Superola> i think so xD
[12:35] <Exterminador> btw, how can I debug why my laptop takes so much to boot into xubuntu?
[12:36] <oe1skw> i don't know the programm, is this an application in the browser?
[12:36] <Superola> its a plugin in the game minecraft, that needs to open a port to be able to send texturepacks to the players
[12:37] <oe1skw> so suggestions for that
[12:37] <oe1skw> is minecraft running? is ip tables installed?
[12:37] <oe1skw> or ufw firewall=?
[12:37] <Superola> ufw
[12:37] <Superola> both i think xD
[12:37] <Superola> lol
[12:37] <oe1skw> try in terminal sudo ufw disable
[12:38] <Cobrax> can i run minecraft in ubuntu
[12:38] <oe1skw> be back in a few minutes
[12:38] <Cobrax> without wine
[12:38] <oe1skw> yees you can
[12:38] <Superola> okey, rebooting now oe1skw
[12:41] <Superola> lol think it locked me out
[12:43] <warri0rr> Exterminador: check dmesg.. it shows timestamp and what it does at boot
[12:44] <Exterminador> warri0rr: okay, I'll take a look at it after update windows.. that's too damn sloww..
[12:44] <Superola> lol oe1skw ehm, i cant access the server now xD
[12:45] <Exterminador> that's why I've changed to Xubuntu, but my wife don't like it much, hence the dual boot
[12:46] <Exterminador> btw, who can remember me the command of smartmontools to check the disk health?
[12:47] <FManTropyx> I just -a to print all
[12:47] <FManTropyx> or try -h for list
[12:47] <leftyfb> Exterminador:  smartmontools --help or  man smartmontools
[12:47] <Exterminador> FManTropyx, leftyfb: thanks
[12:48] <oerheks> s.m.a.r.t. is part of disks ( gparted) too
[12:53] <Exterminador> since I select Ubuntu on the boot screen (?), it takes 2min until appears the screen prompting for the password. isn't that a bit much? (note: laptop is Acer Aspire @ dual core CPU at 2.10Ghz, 800Mhz FSB  @ model T4300, 4Gb ram, probably from 2009/10)
[12:54] <Exterminador> s/model/CPU model
[12:56] <oe1skw_> superola back
[12:56] <Superola> hi :D
[12:56] <oe1skw_> does it work without ufw?
[12:56] <Superola> ehm im lockedout
[12:56] <Superola> disabling ufw was lockout lol
[12:57] <Superola> so i cant access it anymore xD
[12:57] <oe1skw_> without ufw?
[12:57] <Superola> mhm
[12:57] <oe1skw_> with disabled ufw it should be all acceibe
[12:57] <Superola> is iptables also a firewall?
[12:58] <oe1skw_> ufw is a frontend for iptables
[12:58] <Exterminador> output of dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25146204/
[12:58] <oe1skw_> so you can modify iptables with ufw
[12:58] <Superola> ehm
[13:00] <oerheks> Exterminador, line #938 ath9k 0000:04:00.0 wlp4s0: renamed from wlan0 ..
[13:00] <oerheks> did you manually use wlan0? as 16.04 should use the new interface naming wlp4s0
[13:01] <Exterminador> oerheks: i think i didnt
[13:01] <Exterminador> output of smartctl -a /dev/sda: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25146219/
[13:02] <oerheks> then it is just that ath9 wifi device that needs long authentication
[13:02] <oerheks> on wired you would not have to wait that long.
[13:03] <Exterminador> oerheks: any way to check that to help speed up?
[13:03] <Exterminador> or not really?
[13:03] <Exterminador> i think my hdd is getting old.. :x
[13:04] <oerheks> Nope, i don't know how to speed that up
[13:04] <Exterminador> well, 2min isn't that long
[13:04] <oerheks> well, t4300 is not the latest technology, no vt-x and such ...
[13:04] <oerheks> maybe that is of influence too
[13:04] <Exterminador> what do you think about the smartctl output?
[13:05] <Exterminador> yeah, its about 8-9 years old
[13:07] <warri0rr> hello, i'm trying to launch a programi via xinit, without window manager. Technically it should run without superuser powers but I get the error: *Cannot open virtual console 2 (permission denied).*
[13:08] <oerheks> Exterminador, smart is not that bad, maybe a simple ssd can speed up that machine to usable.
[13:09] <Exterminador> yeah, i was thinking in one
[13:09] <Exterminador> maybe for Xmas
[13:16] <Stinky-Feet> warri0rr: You will need to provide a lot more information than that. Here comes a deludge of things that you might want to boil down into a short description of your problem: What is your environment? How are you accessing it? What are you trying to do? It is a permission problem; have you tried it as root? If so, have you looked it as root?
[13:16] <warri0rr> I found out it's a ubuntu bug
[13:16] <warri0rr> already found out a workaround
[13:17] <chr0n1c> hi all.. i'm getting blackscreen after boot... only the recovery mode works.. any sugestions about how to resolv this?
[13:17] <EriC^^> chr0n1c: try an older kernel
[13:18] <EriC^^> grub > advanced > choose an older kernel
[13:18] <chr0n1c> i tryed this.. no success
[13:18] <chr0n1c> i installed new one to.. but no success either
[13:18] <EriC^^> chr0n1c: how did the problem start?
[13:18] <chr0n1c> just like magic... onde day i boot.. and this happen =)
[13:19] <warri0rr> swarfega, did you happen to be a member of rune-server in the past?
[13:20] <EriC^^> chr0n1c: do you have autologin enabled?
[13:20] <warri0rr> Ups. wrong chat
[13:20] <warri0rr> I'm an idiot
[13:20] <chr0n1c> EriC^^, nop..
[13:21] <EriC^^> chr0n1c: look at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot and /var/log/lightdm/*
[13:21] <EriC^^> chr0n1c: first in grub remove "quiet splash" and see what you get
[13:24] <Exterminador> how to update to Xubuntu 17.04 via command line? any advise against? :x
[13:27] <tim167> how do I check for / fix errors on an SD card ?
[13:28] <tim167> some files on it are garbled, and when I try to copy them over to my harddisk I get errors like i/o error, or no such file or directory...
[13:28] <ahrs> Exterminador: do-release-upgrade if I remember correctly.
[13:28] <EriC^^> tim167: with it not mounted, sudo fsck -f /dev/sdxY
[13:29] <EriC^^> Exterminador: are you on 16.10?
[13:29] <tim167> EriC^^, thanks I'll try that
[13:29] <Exterminador> EriC^^: 16.04.2 LTS
[13:30] <EriC^^> tim167: no problem
[13:31] <EriC^^> Exterminador: it's up to you
[13:31] <EriC^^> you'll need to update to 17.10 once that comes out, then 18.04
[13:32] <tim167> EriC^^, it asks me many times to either "Delete LFN" or "Leave it as it is"...etc, is there a way to run it non-interactive?
[13:33] <ahrs> tim167: Add -a or -y to the command (See: fsck --help)
[13:33] <Exterminador> here's the deal. im pretending to reinstall windows 10 from pro to home edition. and perhaps reinstall xubuntu also. but i'd like to save all the files, symlinks(?) of the current xubuntu and then just recover it. is that possible? and what do i need in order to install more than 2 OSes? make 2nd partition as logical insted primary?
[13:34] <tim167> ahrs, ok, thanks
[13:34] <Exterminador> s/insted/instead
[13:35] <EriC^^> Exterminador: you want to install windows without wiping your current xubuntu install?
[13:35] <tim167> ahrs, although "assume yes to all questions" is ambiguous, because many questions are choices between more than two options
[13:35] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[13:36] <tim167> ahrs, or does "yes" imply the 1st option on everything?
[13:36] <Exterminador> EriC^^: yes. but afaik, i cant install more than 2 OS's, because the partition where Xubuntu lives is set also as primary. am I correct?
[13:37] <Exterminador> and it can't be changed to logical on runtime
[13:38] <BluesKaj> Exterminador, even with a bios you can still have 4 primaries
[13:39] <BluesKaj> windows needs only one
[13:40] <tim167> fsck seems to hang indefinitely at "Truncating file to 184188928 bytes." , how do I get it to continue?
[13:40] <ahrs> tim167: "Yes" means "yes" to everything. It will automatically repair the file system.
[13:40] <tim167> ahrs, I tried the -p option now, which looks like it also should repair automatically, but it hangs, (see my previous mssg)
[13:41] <Exterminador> erm.. how do i start GParted in english language? (default languge is portuguese)
[13:41] <MWM> sudo gparted
[13:41] <MWM> er...gksudo gparted
[13:41] <tim167> ahrs, just interrupted it, and tried with -y instead of -p, still hangs at the same place, "Truncating file to 184188928 bytes."
[13:43] <MWM> I am looking for something similar to http://www.sketchup.com/ for ubuntu.  Anyone know of something I can use?  I saw tuts to install Sketchup in ubuntu but I have to use Wine or something and I would rather use something from the repos if it exists
[13:43] <Exterminador> nope, still starts in portuguese :x
[13:43] <ahrs> tim167: Hmm, no idea why it would do that. Can't help you sorry. Maybe try another tool like gparted and see if it can repair the file system?
[13:44] <MWM> Is your whole system in portuguese or just gparted?  thats kind fo a funny problem
[13:44] <tim167> ahrs, will do, thanks
[13:44] <Exterminador> MWM: the whole system
[13:45] <warri0rr> Exterminador: then change the language
[13:45] <MWM> and you just want gparted to start in English but not change the whole system?
[13:45] <Exterminador> MWM: correct
[13:46] <Exterminador> i know it's possible but dont remember the exact command
[13:46] <MWM> Oh!  Well that is different than I thought.  I dont know how to do that.  if I find something I will let you know
[13:48] <MWM> https://makandracards.com/makandra/28205-linux-running-a-program-with-a-different-locale-than-your-default  maybe this will help?
[13:49] <MWM> is there a Sketchup equivalent for ubuntu?
[13:50] <BlackDalek> oerheks, you still around. I got back from work and tried setting up the deluged daemon again. I've got as far as creating the deluged.service and deluge-web.service, and they have been enabled and started with systemctl start. Now I'm stuck again trying to figure out how to get my torrents to show up again in the web UI. I've entered the torrent download location in the preferences, but there is nowhere to tell it
[13:50] <MWM> Nm found one.  Thanks
[13:50] <BlackDalek> the location of the torrent states. Can you help?
[13:51] <BlackDalek> There is nothing in the deluged setup guide I can find :( I must not be looking in the right place.
[13:53] <BlackDalek> The good news is I am not getting any errors this time
[13:56] <Exterminador> this is how my partitions look in GParted https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/hZChttE9/partitions.png
[13:58] <hosas> ioria: please do you know to resolve this dependency: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25146477/  I was trying to install DeepForge. Thanks in advance
[14:00] <Exterminador> when i tell GParted to create a new partition: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/7kdmW2Rr/gparted_error.png
[14:03] <BlackDalek> Can anyone tell me how to get my torrent states back so that deluged daemon can "see" them? Currently it thinks I have no torrents because it can't find my torrent states (stored at ~/.config/deluge )... How do I let deluged find the torrent state info?
[14:05] <unholymachine> WHAT EVEN
[14:06] <BlackDalek> I concur
[14:18] <BlackDalek> is there anyone around who knows their way around the deluged daemon?
[14:21] <hosas> ioria: no need aptitude did the trick, Thanks
[14:22] <DJones> BlackDalek: I'm assuming you're using Deluge for torrents, maybe worth asking in #deluge on freenode, that looks like their official support channel
[14:24] <BlackDalek> DJones, been in an out of there all day - no activity. I think everyone died in there. ;)
[15:10] <ConsoleFx> I am running one Python command via bash and that returns me a bunch of integer values. I want to pipe the retrieved output to match against a file (via grep). I believe something like tee should help but I am not sure how can I leverage. Any pointers would be really helpful!
[15:11] <ConsoleFx> something like $ python script.py | tee >(grep $stdout)
[15:11] <ConsoleFx> something like $ python script.py | tee >(grep $stdout) <target_filename.txt>
[15:12] <FManTropyx> why do I have 406 processes?
[15:14] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: what is the reason for the 'tee'? If script.py produces the integer values that you want to match against a set of patterns in a file named patterns.txt, you can use:
[15:14] <linux-phaedrus> python script.py | grep -f patterns.txt
[15:14] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, I want to match the return (int) values against a file on the fly rather than doing the same via python once again
[15:15] <linux-phaedrus> so are the patterns in the file - meaning you want to FILTER the list of integers against the list of patterns?
[15:15] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, -f is for filename right? Would it take stdout of the script?
[15:16] <leftyfb> ConsoleFx: try it
[15:16] <linux-phaedrus> grep reads from stdout of previous command in pipeline (grep reads from stdIN) by default
[15:16] <BlackDalek> After following this guide - http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd - I now have a new user on the system called "deluge" with access to /var/lib/deluge. I need to copy the files from ~/.config/deluge to /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge BUT my user has no access to that folder - permision denied if I try to view it or anything. How do I fix this?
[15:17] <ConsoleFx> unfortunately its not working
[15:17] <tgm4883> ConsoleFx: the -f is the patterns that you're looking for in the output
[15:17] <ConsoleFx> I trired something like: python final.py  | grep -Pi "^\d+" -o  | grep -f match_here.rules
[15:17] <tgm4883> you specify those in a file
[15:18] <ConsoleFx> tgm4883, yeah surely I could do that, But I am curious to know this trick on how to do it on the fly via stdout and re-directing the value to grep
[15:19] <ConsoleFx> I have seen people using these kinda tricks. thus this curiosity
[15:19] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: that way of piping SHOULD work. Depends on what final.py produces and what match_here.rules contains
[15:20] <tgm4883> ConsoleFx: so final.py spits out stuff, you then filter for digits, then filter those digits on something from match_here.rules
[15:20] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, the script returns a bunch of strings but I am filtering it to print only the starting digits and those digits I want to against another file
[15:21] <ConsoleFx> Hope I could pass on my doubt clearly :s
[15:21] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: So that pipeline should work if your match_here.rules is correct
[15:21] <tgm4883> I don't understand what you're trying to do
[15:21] <tgm4883> Why the second grep?
[15:22] <ConsoleFx> tgm4883, first grep is to extract the digits from the first line (generated from the python script) and secondly, those extracted values I want to match against match_here.rules (in second grep)
[15:23] <tgm4883> ConsoleFx: ok, that makes sense. And you want to use something "on the fly" rather than the rules file?
[15:24] <ConsoleFx> tgm4883, on the fly -> basically my stdout integer values (extracted from first grep)
[15:25] <tgm4883> Maybe it's too early, I still am not sure I understand
[15:25] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: No way to tell what you will get without seeing content of match_here.rules
[15:27] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, I want to match against match_here.rules as that would double-confirm me, if the (which script extracted) values from another file (e.g. python read_1.txt) are correct.
[15:28] <ConsoleFx> Probably I am missing some link to explain my situation :(
[15:29] <linux-phaedrus> ComnsoleFX: provide a couple of examples of lines produced by final.py that you DO want to appear in th eoutput and a couple of lines that you do NOT want to appear
[15:31] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, sure. makes sense.. Let me paste somewhere the script output. I feel that would clear the ambiguities
[15:32] <max3> i just had the weirdest thing happen. i'm working on a project in an intellij ide (gogland). i cloned a repo into my working directory, dragged all of the files in my working directory into the cloned repo, and boom everything is gone from my file system
[15:32] <max3> the files have gotta be somewhere right?
[15:32] <max3> how can i find them
[15:34] <vlt> max3: What exactly did you do?
[15:35] <max3> i did exactly what i described. dragged files using the ide ui
[15:36] <max3> this in principle should have just moved the files from my working directory into the directory of the cloned repo
[15:36] <leftyfb> max3: I would use the find or locate command to look for files you know should have been part of that clone.
[15:36] <max3> i tried that
[15:37] <Exterminador> erm.. what's the command to create a bootable usb? :x
[15:37] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, something like this should explain the problem clearly: http://dpaste.com/05WPQ2M
[15:37] <max3> leftyfb, from / find . -name doesn't show anything
[15:37] <leftyfb> max3: try locate (after updatedb)
[15:37] <leftyfb> max3: if they're gone, then blame the ide you're using.
[15:37] <max3> updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'
[15:38] <max3> that's great but the data has to be somewhere
[15:38] <leftyfb> max3: sudo updatedb
[15:38] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: You can try the following:
[15:38] <ConsoleFx> max3, try with sudo
[15:38] <max3> locate doesn't find the files either
[15:38] <leftyfb> max3: if there is a bug with your IDE and it wiped them out, then no, the data could verywell be gone
[15:39] <max3> unbelievable
[15:39] <linux-phaedrus> python script.py | grep "^\d+" -o | tee test.txt | fgrep -x '^\d+$'
[15:39] <ConsoleFx> max3, $sudo find / -type f -name "yourfile_name.xyz"
[15:40] <max3> ConsoleFx, i even without the -f qualifier it doesn't find
[15:40] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: the first grep is what you already had. The tee saves output to text.txt (so you can look at how the first grep worked).
[15:40] <max3> (yes with sudo)
[15:40] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: the second grep matches with a constrained regex (line regex that matches only lines containing ONLY a number)
[15:42] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: You do not NEED th etee part - that is just there to save the output of the first grep in a file to study / confirm
[15:42] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: Alternately, you can try: python script.py | grep "^\d+" -o | grep -x '^\d+$'
[15:43] <Exterminador> don't: locate "filename.txt" i.e works?
[15:43] <linux-phaedrus> Actually in my first answer replace the last fgrep with grep - should NOT be fgrep there (since you are using a pattern)
[15:43] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: python script.py | grep "^\d+" -o | tee test.txt | grep -x '^\d+$'
[15:44] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: Or alternately, just: python script.py | grep "^\d+" -o | fgrep -x '^\d+$'
[15:47] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, I tried this but doesn't seem to work :(   $python script.py | grep -Pio "^\d+" | fgrep -x '^\d+$' match_here.rules
[15:50] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, grep and fgreps are different somehow?
[15:56] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: to use \d you need the -P option to grep. So the correct pipeline to use (and then test) your regex would be:
[15:57] <devster31> what happens if I update exfat-fuse while a mount is using it?
[15:57] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, yeah i have used -P actually
[15:57] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: python script.py | grep -Po "^\d+" | tee test.txt | grep -Px '\d+'
[15:57] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, lemme try
[15:58] <linux-phaedrus>  ConsoleFX: python script.py | grep -Po "^\d+" | tee test.txt | grep -Px '^\d+$' also works, but the '^$' are unnecessary when using -x (whole-line)
[15:59] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, ^\d is just to extract only the starting digits from each line
[16:00] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, not sure why this is not working :(
[16:00] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, did it work for you (just in-case)?
[16:01] <linux-phaedrus> Yes it worked for me - I saved your test strings in a file and used the following command: grep -Po '^\d+' test | grep -Px '\d+'
[16:01] <linux-phaedrus> where test is the name of the file I saved the test strings
[16:02] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, damn its not working for me!!! (shocking)
[16:03] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: The following also worked: grep -Po '^\d+' test | tee t1 | grep -Px '^\d+$'
[16:04] <linux-phaedrus> ConsoleFX: First try the first half - up to and including the first grep - see that you're getting what you want. Then try upto and including the tee and check what is in the tee file (test.txt)
[16:05] <ConsoleFx> linux-phaedrus, sure
[16:38] <kristhian> hi i am using ubuntu 14.04 lts and systemtcl command is not found?
[16:38] <kristhian> how is this possible?
[16:38] <warri0rr> the way you typed it
[16:38] <kristhian> nothing on the internet seems to help
[16:38] <warri0rr> it is truly not present
[16:38] <kristhian> i mean systemctl
[16:39] <kristhian> kristhian@kristhian-emachines-D725:~$ sudo systemctl restart vsftpd
[16:39] <kristhian> sudo: systemctl: command not found
[16:40] <rypervenche> kristhian: 14.04 uses upstart, not systemd
[16:40] <kristhian> so it should be sudo upstart vsftpd
[16:40] <warri0rr> sudo service vsftpd restart
[16:40] <kristhian> oh
[16:40] <kristhian> ok
[17:19] <dexterM> Hi
[17:55] <fedorafan> hey is there a way if I configure something and there are needs of dependancy to get them automatically
[17:56] <fedorafan>  ./configure this one
[17:57] <SchrodingersScat> fedorafan: one thing is 'apt-get build-dep packagename'  This should get the dependencies to build the package if it's in the repos.
[17:58] <fedorafan> I got it from github
[17:58] <xRob_> Hello, my computer only boots with recovery mode, the windows partition works fine as well.
[17:58] <SchrodingersScat> fedorafan: then not afaik.
[17:58] <fedorafan> ok
[17:59] <xRob_> "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s!"
[18:01] <xRob_> I'm installing proprietary drivers, idk
[18:03] <fedorafan> SchrodingersScat it says xorg-server not found
[18:04] <fedorafan> but there is just the package xorg-server-sources I installed and it doesnt work
[18:04] <fedorafan> feel free no need to help me maybe another know it
[18:05] <xRob_> Holy shit.. it worked
[18:44] <cipher6> how can I lock the screen when running w/o a gui?
[18:44] <cipher6> Like I'm on tty1 and I need to step away from the computer, but I do NOT want to close my sessions or end any of my programs
[18:45] <Younder> tried 'clear'?
[18:45] <ioria>  !info vlock
[18:45] <Spec> you should consider doing your work in a screen session
[18:45] <cipher6> !man vlock
[18:45] <cipher6> lol
[18:45] <cipher6> Spec: explain?
[18:45] <ioria>  !info physlock
[18:45] <Spec> !info screen
[18:46] <Younder> Standard
[18:46] <Spec> cipher6: it's a virtual tty that lets you have more than one screen, and you can detach/reattach at will,  on a tty or via ssh/etc
[18:46] <cipher6> I'm launching lubuntu w/o a DE so I'm only running in tty1
[18:46] <Spec> so 'screen' or 'tmux' lets you detach/log out/log in/reattach
[18:46] <Younder> You can just clear the screen form the teminal
[18:46] <Spec> Younder: 'clear' does not prevent unauthorized access?
[18:46] <cipher6> Younder, what good would clearing the screen do?
[18:46] <cipher6> I'm not trying to leave my terminal sitting at a prompt??
[18:47] <Spec> cipher6: 'screen' is very useful, i'd recommend it, but it looks like vlock would do exactly what you're asking
[18:47] <cipher6> Spec: I'll try screen then
[18:47] <Spec> screen doesn't lock itself though, it's just a way to log out/log in and resume what you were doing
[18:47] <cipher6> I know I can force them to the background using ^Z and bg/fg
[18:47] <cipher6> that's where you start a program by literally typing "$: screen top" or whatever cmd?
[18:48] <cipher6> and then ^D to detach and what's for locking?
[18:48] <cipher6> (Yes, I could pull the man but I'll either have to launch lynx or install screen and I haen't done that yet ;)
[19:05] <Younder> Well the logout or  exit
[19:05] <Younder> then
[19:06] <cipher6> Younder: if I exit, it'll end my session,
[19:06] <Spec> cipher6: yeah, detach with ctrl-a,d and then logout
[19:06] <cipher6> if I logout, it'll end my session.
[19:06] <Spec> cipher6: log back in, "screen -r" to resume (or screen -x to resume/share)
[19:06] <Spec> your session of Things and Stuff will stay in screen you see
[19:07] <cipher6> Spec: Thanks m8
[19:07] <Spec> ctrl-a,c to create a new window in screen, and ctrl-a,n to go to "the next window"
[19:07] <cipher6> That makes good sense, so if I'm already running from tty1, and I open screen, I won't really see a diference
[19:07] <Spec> right, you must start screen first
[19:07] <Spec> you can't throw something into screen once it's started
[19:08] <cipher6> so before I had been using alt+F*[1-6]
[19:08] <cipher6> and logging in to each tty,
[19:08] <cipher6> which was a pain in the ass, but screen should resolve this for me
[19:08] <Spec> cipher6: indeed
[19:09] <cipher6> HOLY SHIT I JUST CREATED THE CRAZIEST FUCKING LOOP and God INCEPTIONED ALL UP IN MY TERMINAL
[19:09] <cipher6> LOL
[19:09] <cipher6> I typed screen, and hit return
[19:09] <cipher6> and it just took me to a new terminal screen,
[19:09] <cipher6> so I typed it again
[19:09] <cipher6> and again
[19:09] <cipher6> and again
[19:09] <cipher6> then ran PS
[19:09] <cipher6> and nothing was running,
[19:09] <cipher6> so i typed exit,
[19:10] <cipher6> and it took me back to a prompt that said "$: screen
[19:10] <Younder> https://askubuntu.com/questions/18802/how-to-correctly-add-a-custom-daemon-to-init-d
[19:10] <cipher6> $: flashing cursor
[19:10] <cipher6> i hadjust been going further and furhter down,
[19:10] <cipher6> screening screen like a russian nesting doll from *nix hell LOL
[19:11] <cipher6> is there any way to tell you're in screen?
[19:24] <white_magic> hi, for some reason I cannot create new tabs in Gedit. If i do ctrl+n, it just opens a new Gedit window. Is there a way to fix it?
[19:28] <cipher6> !info gedit
[19:29] <sary> white_magic: I'm able to open a new tab by clickin' on > or + .. don't know about a key shortcut though.
[19:30] <sary> it seems to be an old gedit issue though..
[19:30] <ioria> white_magic, does it works from File -> New ?
[19:32] <white_magic> ioria: it does :(
[19:32] <white_magic> i'm just using notepad++ shortcuts by habit i guess
[19:32] <white_magic> i'll just use ctrl+t now
[19:33] <ioria> white_magic,  so, you maybe remap that shortcut ?
[19:33] <white_magic> yea about to haha
[19:33] <white_magic> i really wish notepad++ was native to linux
[19:33] <ioria> heheh
[19:33] <white_magic> the wine version isn't as responsive
[19:34] <Younder> white_magic, vim is the way I go
[19:34] <white_magic> ehhhhhhh
[19:34] <white_magic> i use vim when editing config files
[19:34] <white_magic> i love using vim for that purpose
[19:34] <Younder> difficult to learn but far more powerful
[19:34] <white_magic> that's it
[19:35] <white_magic> Younder: sorry but vim isn't better for programming than an actual IDE
[19:35] <white_magic> perhaps as a text editor it might be better than notepad++
[19:35] <white_magic> i'll give you that
[19:36] <Younder> white_magic, I also use eclipse and emacs and atom
[19:39] <white_magic> Younder: hate to be that guy but have you tried vs code?
[19:39] <white_magic> similar to Atom but much more performant
[19:39] <white_magic> i'm not even gonna mention Visual Studio itself
[19:41] <ioria> the point of vim is that it's a 'pure' text editor
[19:41] <ioria> but honestly, idk how many people use it for programming
[19:48] <white_magic> ioria: it seems like a lot of people use it.. or at least they claim to do so on the internet
[19:48] <ioria> ok
[19:49] <Flannel> white_magic: SciTE is very similar to notepad++, because notepad++ uses scintilla for the rendering (and SciTE is a reference implementation, basically).
[19:50] <white_magic> hmm last i checked scite didnt seem to be very actively developed
[19:50] <Flannel> white_magic: It doesn't have some of the "Extra" non-editor features, but from a purely editing standpoint, it's the same
[19:50] <white_magic> yea i use a good number of plugins in notepad++
[19:50] <white_magic> oh well, ill adapt
[19:50] <white_magic> its just a very impressive little app that i use every day on every windows machine
[19:50] <Flannel> white_magic: Last release May 2017.
[19:53] <devster31> does an exFAT module for kernel exist?
[19:53] <devster31> or some other kernel-based way to mount exFAT stuff?
[19:54] <ioria> !info exfat-fuse
[19:54] <ioria> !info exfat-utils
[19:54] <devster31> neither of those are kernel-based, they both require fuse
[19:55] <ioria> no idea, then
[19:55] <ioria> cat /proc/filesystems
[19:56] <ioria> devster31, i think it's patented
[20:00] <marvin42> Greetings, I was using NVidea's proprietary driver until now but I decided to give the Nouveau driver a chance.  After applying the Noveau driver I rebooted but the resolution was very low. Henceforth, I did "apt get install xserver-xorg-video-noveau". It installed all necessary packages.  * Then I rebooted and, at the time that the login screen should appear, the screen stays blank, with the cursor on the top left of the screen
 <marvin42> appearing and disappearing. *  I've tried hitting the Shift key to get the GRUB menu but it doesn't show up. I've tried pressing Shift + Alt + F1 (or 1) to try and get to the command line but no luck.  I'm able to access the HD using a Live CD.  What can I do to revert the NVidia driver settings to the configuration that worked?
[20:02] <white_magic> ioria: I can't see how i can re-map shortcuts in gedit. I don't see that in preferences anywhere, nor a relevant plugin. Any ideas?
[20:03] <ioria> white_magic,  nope, i said that you probably already have done that :þ
[20:04] <white_magic> got it
[20:07] <Exterminador> guys, HELP please! :X http://paste.ubuntu.com/25148649/
[20:08] <Exterminador> fresh install of ubuntu
[20:08] <Exterminador> :/
[20:09] <Exterminador> ive installed ubuntu in a logical partition if that helps
[20:19] <Exterminador> what should i do? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/8QYaRFKi/irccloudcapture1854616836.jpg
[20:25] <th0r> Exterminador, you might start by doing what it says to do
[20:27] <DoYouKnow> Exterminador: boot off the install disk, and run fsck
[20:28] <DoYouKnow> Exterminador: if you have a UEFI, you can just run fsck /dev/sd5
[20:28] <DoYouKnow> I think the /dev/sdX syntax is invariant then
[20:28] <DoYouKnow> fsck /dev/sda5
[20:28] <Exterminador> DoYouKnow: there's no install disk now..
[20:29] <DoYouKnow> Exterminador: is there anywhere you can go to make one? You just need a copy of lili linuxlive usb creator on windows or unetbootin on linux
[20:30] <Exterminador> I'll do it on windows
[20:30] <Exterminador> with Rufus
[20:30] <DoYouKnow> ok
[20:30] <DoYouKnow> then just start ubuntu without installing and open a Terminal
[20:30] <DoYouKnow> then type the fsck command
[20:30] <DoYouKnow> under sudo
[20:39] <Exterminador> it only says "fsck from util-linux 2.27.1"
[20:39] <Exterminador> on the live usb
[20:41] <Exterminador> I guess my Ubuntu pen is corrupted
[20:41] <Exterminador> I'll try to redownload Ubuntu and reinstall it
[20:49] <cuddylier> Is there anyway to avoid a kdump taking a long time to create on boot after a kernel panic?
[21:01] <Exterminador> is it possible that I've messed up the bootable USB stick running usb-creator-gtk on Xubuntu?
[21:17] <warri0rr> Yes it's possible
[21:21] <Exterminador> I've redone the usb stick with Rufus on Windows
[21:21] <Exterminador> let's see what happens
[21:23] <Exterminador> I remember once of seeing a command to create a bootable USB stick with 'dd' command
[21:24] <Exterminador> but don't remember the proper syntax
[21:25] <cuddylier> I'm getting this kernel panic. Any ideas? I know IPv6 is mentioned but I haven't got it enabled: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25149098/
[21:33] <Exterminador> seems that indeed was usb-creator-gtk that have messed up the USB stick
[21:33] <Exterminador> now that I've made it with Rufus all seems to work properly
[21:54] <CuteAlien> Hi! I'm currently close to getting Ubuntu 17.04 installed, but failing at last step. My problem: Nouveau driver freezes always very fast. I spend all afternoon on installer and one time I manged to install the nvida driver before freeze happened and could install everything on hd. But now on hd - driver freezes even faster and I never win that race.
[21:54] <CuteAlien> So.. any trick to get to nvidia driver before nouveau driver freezes up?
[21:55] <CuteAlien> Sometimes (one in 5 I manage to log-in) - but that's about it.
[21:56] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | CuteAlien
[21:57] <GreenDimond> So, I am using xgamma to try and adjust one of my monitors gamma, but when I use xgamme -gamma 1.2 it adjusts both monitors' gamma. I only want to adjust one of them, but using xgamma -display yellowjacket:DFP-0 -gamma 1.2 says it cant find the monitor
[21:57] <GreenDimond> I have tried a lot of combinations to find the display, but none of them work.
[21:58] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: ^^ then after getting booted with nomoeset, install the proprietary driver .
[21:58] <CuteAlien> hm, I managed to press alt+F1 this time before the freeze! So... if I can install it from console - would also be fine
[22:00] <CuteAlien> And I got no boot-loader options (like grub). Ubuntu is the only system on that computer so it boots directly - no chance to set boot options.
[22:00] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: If you can gain a consile interface try ' sudo apt update ; sudo apt full-upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' .
[22:00] <CuteAlien> thanks, will try
[22:01] <white_magic> anyone here use Cmder terminal emulator.. or maybe just ConEmu?
[22:01] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: If this is a EFI machine it is the escape key that grub looks for . spam the escape key . Only a 3 second window of oportunity .
[22:02] <GreenDimond> Anyone fluent in xgamma? :P
[22:03] <compdoc> I know a little umamma
[22:03] <CuteAlien> Bashing-om, even worse - ESC key on that computer opens bios-options for boot order. So I have to hit the time after that - before grub...
[22:04] <GreenDimond> compdoc: ...
[22:04] <GreenDimond> just...
[22:04] <GreenDimond> no..
[22:04] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: Wait til bios hands off . As soon as the firmware screen clears spam the escape key .
[22:05] <CuteAlien> Bashing-om, yeah, if this fails. I try updating packages right now - maybe I'm lucky and that works already. And I guess if not - when reaching console I should also be able to switch to nvidia proprietary drivers somehow.
[22:06] <GreenDimond> xgamma -display yellowjacket:DFP-0 says it cant find the display, maybe I have the display name wrong, but I have tried stuff like DVI-0 0 0.0 etc..
[22:06] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: A fresh install attempt ? Then the driver will be open source .
[22:07] <CuteAlien> Bashing-om, I need whole afternoon just to get it to install... it's past midnight now. And... I need proprietry nvidia anyway as I'm doing 3D development.
[22:07] <CuteAlien> I like open-source really (I write free software), but sometimes... ah well.
[22:08] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: . Once booted then can install the proprietary driver . Installing: did you verify the .iso file and did you verify the copy to media ?
[22:09] <CuteAlien> I did. Let's wait until it's finished with current package updates (still running), maybe that works already (seems to have new kernel and stuff)
[22:10] <GreenDimond> Bashing-om, know anything about xgamma? :/
[22:10] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: On this present install I have to run the nvidia proprietary driver .
[22:11] <Bashing-om> GreenDimond: No, have not used it . but ' xrandr --verbose ' will give ya the display names .
[22:11] <GreenDimond> alright thanks
[22:17] <DoYouKnow> hi. I need to play lots of content simultaneously. Any ideas for this?
[22:17] <DoYouKnow> I've been opening multiple youtube windows
[22:29] <Exterminador> erm... how do we create launcher shortcuts? there's no right click mouse option!!
[22:39] <CuteAlien> Bashing-om, package updates + ubuntu-drivers autoinstall did the trick. Got a working system now :-) Thanks for the help!
[22:40] <CuteAlien> Exterminador, I think - start once - then click icon and say "lock to launcher"
[22:41] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: Glad2help : Happy trails to you :)
[22:42] <Exterminador> CuteAlien: yeah, but that is the double of the work :/
[22:42] <Shaan> Hi guys ive got ubuntu 16.04 LTS install on my Vm with a desktop, however whenever i try run wget with an ftp involved it just hangs indefinitly..
[22:42] <Shaan> and only way to recover it is, to restart the system is this a known issue?
[22:43] <cynicist> Exterminador: You can just search for the app and click and drag it to either the dock or desktop.
[22:44] <Exterminador> cynicist: for Strem.io, the best option is to create a launcher tho
[22:46] <Disaster_Area> some of my programs have been known to flicker and I think it's a system-wide issue for me. Programs that flicker include Discord and rarely other programs like SMPlayer or Minecraft. If anyone knows a fix or the cause, let me know :]
[22:52] <CuteAlien> Disaster_Area, if it's not only one app then it might be graphic driver.
[22:53] <Disaster_Area> well, it's mainly one app, but you might still be right. So
[22:53] <Disaster_Area> if it's a graphic driver, what can I do to fix it
[22:53] <Shaan> so no one has any inpuet why wget is causing ubuntu to hang?
[22:54] <Shaan> I just tested on a non desktop ubuntu and it worked fine...
[22:54] <Shaan> Doesn't entirely makes sense, why it would onyl occur on a desktop system
[22:58] <CuteAlien> ok, I also got a new problem. My clock is one hour off. Likely something about UTC/localtime messup. Except - it's set to get time automatically from internet (I didn't change any default settings). No other OS installed - so UTC or localtime would both be fine to me - as long as clock is fine. Clock off is trouble - all ssh stuff (like pretty much all websites) won't work...
[23:00] <CuteAlien> Disaster_Area, check graphic-driver options - install one of the other ones which are not active
[23:01] <CuteAlien> Disaster_Area, in system settings - software & updates - Additional drivers
[23:01] <Disaster_Area> thank you
[23:02] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: Is the hardware clock set correctly in bios ?
[23:03] <CuteAlien> Bashing-om, good question - can check. But.. it should update time from internet - so it should set it even if it's wrong there.
[23:03] <CuteAlien> And I'm not sure what "correct" is for Ubuntu - depends on if it uses UTC or localtime ...
[23:05] <CuteAlien> heh - bios time is 2 hours off - computer time is 1 hour off (it should use Berlin - which is set...)
[23:06] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: ubuntu uses UTC for the time . also maybe in the install you set the wrong time zone ? ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata ' to reset the time zone info .
[23:07] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: I expect the hardware clock to also be set to UTC .
[23:09] <CuteAlien> will try... also got another problem - I could start Firefox once. Then I started it once in private mode. Since then - I can only start it in private mode - starting usual way - short wait-cursors. Then nothing.
[23:09] <CuteAlien> New installs are fun^^
[23:10] <Bashing-om> CuteAlien: FF. can not say . No experience with it .
[23:12] <CuteAlien> Hm, I think it doesn't know about daylight saving time
[23:13] <CuteAlien> ah no tzdata reconfiguring - it says utc time right now is around midnight..
[23:14] <CuteAlien> (which is off by an hour it seems)
[23:16] <CuteAlien> and now works. OK, whatever it was (maybe took some time to fix itself). Rest tomorrow. N8 everyone
[23:18] <Bashing-om> Cust0sLim3n: systend most likely no longer supports tzdata ?? try as ' sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC ' .
[23:25] <marvin42> Hello. I'm having issues with the NVIDIA driver. I tried to install the nouveau driver and the booting froze before the login screen. I was able to remove the nouveau driver and install the package nvidia-current. Now the NVIDIA logo appears and after that the login window. Alas, when the login window appears everything is frozen: the keyboard, mouse, etc. I'm unable to get to a terminal by alt ctrl F1. Can someone help me out on this one_
[23:32] <Bashing-om> marvin42: We can try. Be aware 'nvidia-current' is not what you think . it is version 340 best I recall . // If you attempt tp boot up with nomodeset, what results ?
[23:33] <Bashing-om> !info nvidia-current
[23:34] <Bashing-om> marvin42: correct to be nvidia-current == 304 .
[23:35] <energizer> How can I find out the original location of a file in .Trash?
[23:35] <marvin42> Bashing-om, sorry I'm new to Linux. How can I boot with nomodeset? Further, are you suggesting that I install a different version of the driver_
[23:35] <marvin42> *driver?
[23:37] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Of a certainty, we will install a differnt driver . When we get the current driver removed .
[23:37] <Bashing-om> !nomodeset | marvin42
[23:37] <Bashing-om> marvin42: We will get you through this . Is not a thing to sweat over .
[23:41] <marvin42> Bashing-om, nomodeset in place. Rebooting now.
[23:50] <BlackDalek> Can someone please tell me the correct command to set read,write,execute privileges for user "deluge" on all files in /var/lib/deluge/.config ? Is it "sudo -u deluge chmod -R u+rwx /var/lib/deluge/.config" ?
[23:53] <ddellav> BlackDalek almost
[23:53] <ddellav> BlackDalek chmod sets read,write,execute permissions, chown sets the owner and group
[23:53] <glowdemon1> Hi. After installing Ubuntu do I need to install AMD drivers as well or does Ubuntu take care of that?
[23:54] <ddellav> so if you wanted deluge user to access those files you'll need to either set the files as word write/readable or set them as owned by deluge
[23:54] <ddellav> using chown deluge /path/to/deluge/files
[23:54] <Jordan_U> glowdemon1: For most cards, for most purposes, the Free drivers that are installed by default are the best to use.
[23:54] <glowdemon1> I see.
[23:54] <Jordan_U> (Specifically when it comes to AMD/ati)
[23:54] <glowdemon1> Ubuntu has been freezing randomly, someoene on stackoverflow suggested to install this linux power management package
[23:55] <glowdemon1> I hope it solves it because everytime it freezes I had to do a boot-repair
[23:55] <glowdemon1> Thought it may had to do with my drivers or something
[23:55] <Jordan_U> glowdemon1: What version of Ubuntu?
[23:55] <glowdemon1> 16.04
[23:56] <ddellav> BlackDalek furthermore, using sudo -u deluge tells sudo to run the following commands AS the deluge user. Which wouldn't do anything unless the deluge user had write permissions on the files already
