[00:09] devster31: maybe pipe it to `cat`? [00:14] devster31: if you just want stdout printed to the screen then why use the pipe at all? [00:14] devster31: i suspect that i'm not understanding what you're trying to do [00:16] lighttpd accepts a binary as access.log, I wanted to print to stdout [00:18] and for some reason using 'STDOUT' gives me a permission error [00:23] 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] 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] 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] blackdalek: sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-restricted-extras , might help! [00:27] sary, yes... I just realised that 2 seconds after sending my question lol [00:28] :) === jstein_ is now known as jstein [00:28] forgot there was a --reinstall option [00:34] 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] 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] 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] 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] look at the xchat docs for that , and maybe it's there in freenode's website too. [00:39] blackdalek: here you go https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl , xchat is missing from the list! [00:40] sary, which IRC client do you use? [00:40] blackdalek: irssi . [01:34] 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] 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] https://pastebin.com/vsMiuBjj [02:19] boblamont: probably better to ask in #bash [02:20] Ben64: will do, thanks (I didn't realize #bash existed!) === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [02:47] 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] im in a vm, and expanded the disk but my / is still same size. how can i resize while booted? [03:17] do i have to boot a livecd in the vm and expand with gparted? id rather not shut down [03:17] azizLIGHT, not. [03:17] one does not expand partitions of a running system [03:18] so you resized the vm, not the / partition. [03:19] yea [03:19] i have unallocated space in the disk that i want to give to the / partition [03:20] well, you can edit partitions with a mouse in gparted. but not on a running vm. [03:20] oh well [03:23] 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] while running [03:23] azizLIGHT, totally different [03:25] no, i am not sure, go try it :-D lolz [03:25] man o man [03:25] how is it different kk4ewt [03:26] hello all. [03:27] WetVacAbortion: this isn't a chatting channel, do you have a question? [03:28] i'm trying to figure this whole thing out, idk where i fit in lol sorry i'll leave === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:05] if I started the deluged daemon and deluge-web, what is the proper way to stop these things running cleanly? [05:06] Is there a good way to stop login unless a certain usb drive is attached? [05:42] 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] no much activity in here. Everyone asleep now? [05:53] [05:53] [05:53] [05:53] [05:53] [05:53] [05:54] [05:54] [05:54] /nick blackdalek___ // [05:54] oops.. hand on spacebar.. sorry :( === BlackDalek is now known as blackdalek___ === blackdalek___ is now known as BlackDalek [06:07] 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] 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] so it is running already, sudo systemctl status deluged [06:13] 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] 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] 16.04 works with systemd also [06:16] 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] BlackDalek: you sure it didn't just fork itself into the background [06:18] ps ax | grep deluge [06:19] 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] http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd [06:21] 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] 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] oerheks: right ,we should follow the official docs! [06:24] 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] 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] there is a guide to move the torrents, not to add them again.. [06:26] oerheks, there is? I couldn't find one :/ [06:29] in deluge itself> menu > torrent > move storage [06:31] 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] BlackDalek: sorry, for some reason I didn't hear my irc client ding [06:36] 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] BlackDalek: two lines of output, for this particular usage of that command, mean deluge is definitely running as of now === nocaberi is now known as Bock [07:16] 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] now while booting the virtual machine...it says no bootable medium found... [07:17] how can I fix this...? [07:35] deostroll, reinstall would be an option [07:35] if you had started it right away, you would be done by now [07:37] okay during reinstall, how to not install grub [07:38] grub = bootloader ... [07:39] I just want to bypass the grub when the os boots [07:39] directly boot my operating system [07:40] that is what normally happens, you won't see the grub menu, unless you hold shift or esc on boot. [07:41] you will need grub, else you cannot have 2 kernels, 1 for recovery and 1 current [07:41] on a virtual machine I guess that is okay [07:42] i just told you it is not oke, but go ahead, find out [08:07] I'm looking to organize my machine [08:07] i.e RSS feeds, emails, stored passwords [08:07] whilst also attempting to be as secures as i can be [08:07] mostly automating things as well, what things can i do? === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [08:11] Cobrax: i'm not really sure what your question is [08:14] Whenever I am creating folder with the name "tmp_depth_files" Files closes down. I don't know why. [08:15] Cobrax: if it's recommendation via word association, rss -> tt-rss, email -> gmail or fastmail, passwords -> keepass, backups -> duplicity [08:16] glachas: creating a folder where and what do you mean by "Files closes down"? what desktop? [08:16] elky: sorry, In some directory which is in home directory [08:17] elky, is it safe to intergrate keepass into the browser via addon on firefox [08:18] elky: Files launcher closes down [08:18] Cobrax: i haven't done so, i don't know about the security implications but i would be skeptical [08:18] elky, understood [08:19] glachas: so like dolphin or nautilus?

[08:21] elky: but I am able to create folder with the same name in any directory. [08:21] I tried many times' [08:23] Cobrax: i don't feel comfortable with you linking that, it's quite rude [08:23] why [08:23] 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] elky, i do not respect trigger warnings [08:25] 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] Cobrax, better spread this one > http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/07/ubuntu-wants-know-apps-think-default-survey [08:25] oh [08:26] they need to get ssl [08:26] its annoying =P [08:26] Cobrax: yeah apparently calling people homophobic slurs makes them not want to help you [08:26] funny that [08:26] it isn't my post [08:32] Cobrax: we'd prefer if you exercise some discretion with the links you post in here anyway [08:33] we? [08:40] 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] tells me the same :( [08:40] its most vexing [08:42] is there just something i am not getting ? [08:42] sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.7 --force [08:42] Checking if update is needed. [08:42] This installation of MySQL is already upgraded to 5.7.19, use --force if you still need to run mysql_upgrade [08:42] all i want todo is reset root password [08:49] maja, on what ubuntu version?

[08:53] oerheks: super sweet thanks ! [08:54] maja have fun! [08:55] hum mysql-workbench is not working... fuck it restart [08:58] 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?

[09:01] google [09:11] http://imgur.com/a/je6GK 4k [09:12] new kernel [09:18] strange i dont have more option in Ubuntu setting http://imgur.com/a/1ozaz [09:18] what could be isue and how to solve ? [09:24] hi, I have a Netty based Java TCP server [09:24] sonu_nk, reinstall ubuntu-desktop, seen that before https://askubuntu.com/questions/466720/system-settings-icons-missing-in-14-04 [09:24] I will create a GWT based web interface for admin (to change tcp port etc.) and users (to view incoming messages) [09:24] so the TCP server will run in a servlet on Tomcat (or maybe I will use embedded Jetty, not decided yet) [09:25] 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] AggregatedExcept, what is Netty based Java TCP server ? [09:25] not ubuntu server, is it? [09:25] what is the best approach to solve this, can somebody give me some advice? [09:25] Netty is an asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers [09:26] AggregatedExcept, ah oke, never heard of it before. [09:26] What have you done? [09:27] what is your question? [09:28] how can edit system files (like ntp.conf) from a java servlet? [09:29] it needs root access to edit the file [09:29] Well, you use Java i/o interface to do that and yes it needs root access [09:29] but servlet is running by tomcat user [09:29] give tomcat user permission to edit that file [09:29] I think that's possible with sudo [09:32] warri0rr: thanks, i will try it and come back if the problem will be more exact [09:47] 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 [09:47] interfaces automattically? === rax-Y is now known as rax- [09:53] Hi!

[11:09] toothfairy_: but rose is not an *owner* of that file [11:09] so the message is correct :-) [11:15] 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? === KindTwo is now known as KindOne [11:16] maze88, basicly yes, reading allows copying [11:17] so there must be a deeper more important reason beyond that, for having seperate permissions for r and x... [11:18] 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] r and x and w [11:18] ie root [11:18] whereas your copy is owned by you [11:18] l1Ll1Ll1L: i see where you're going here... for instance with the file passwd [11:20] 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] whenever I use a bitmap font on my gnome-terminal [11:27] and the font I use is small [11:27] the font gets really blurry [11:27] and without anti-aliasing it looks really weird being bold in some places and not in others === joe75_ is now known as joe75 [11:35] hi guys quick question [11:35] my graphics work fine however [11:35] when i plug in hdmi im left with a trailing mouse [11:36] i've tried installing nvidia-375 364 and a range of others but none work [11:36] MrCrackPotBuilde: i would plug in hdmi while the pc is off [11:36] MrCrackPotBuilde: and the tv both [11:38] tried [11:38] i even tried the two different hdmi ports one is standard size the other mini [11:39] when i plug in my usb monitor the same thing happens [11:39] after unplugging everything the dodgy mouse continues [11:40] MrCrackPotBuilde: i would try a different desktop environment [11:40] any suggestions [11:40] its for a media server [11:40] MrCrackPotBuilde: i would try it with something simple like windowmaker [11:40] currently im using unity [11:41] MrCrackPotBuilde: hey you can just try to boot into standard gnome, without unity [11:41] media centre sorry not server [11:41] how do i do that [11:41] MrCrackPotBuilde: one factor to consider is if your computer also has/uses integrated graphics (like my laptop: intel hd620 + geforce940mx). [11:41] MrCrackPotBuilde: you should log out and shoose standart gnome to log in with [11:41] ok let me try that if im back in two mins it didnt work hahah [11:41] MrCrackPotBuilde: ok good luck! [11:42] and in advance thanks for your help [11:42] 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.

[12:16] Can someone help me with port opening? After several hours on google im cranky xD [12:18] @superola in the local network or with a router to the internet? [12:20] hi [12:20] 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] Exterminador, sure, windows overwrites the bootsector, but no worry, you can easily reinstall grub after that [12:20] hi [12:21] !grub [12:21] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

I'll take a look into that. [12:22] octanium 8125 [12:22] oe1skw ** [12:24] superola what does sudo netstat -tulpen | grep "8125" ? [12:24] should i type that ? [12:25] in a terminal [12:26] https://pastebin.com/ts81DfuY [12:28] hi [12:31] oerheks: I guess that's default to xubuntu 16.04.2 too, right? [12:32] oe1skw suggestions ? [12:33] 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?

[12:36] i don't know the programm, is this an application in the browser? [12:36] its a plugin in the game minecraft, that needs to open a port to be able to send texturepacks to the players [12:37] so suggestions for that [12:37] is minecraft running? is ip tables installed? [12:37] or ufw firewall=? [12:37] ufw [12:37] both i think xD [12:37] lol [12:37] try in terminal sudo ufw disable [12:38] can i run minecraft in ubuntu [12:38] be back in a few minutes [12:38] without wine [12:38] yees you can [12:38] okey, rebooting now oe1skw [12:41] lol think it locked me out [12:43] Exterminador: check dmesg.. it shows timestamp and what it does at boot [12:44] warri0rr: okay, I'll take a look at it after update windows.. that's too damn sloww.. [12:44] lol oe1skw ehm, i cant access the server now xD [12:45] that's why I've changed to Xubuntu, but my wife don't like it much, hence the dual boot [12:46] btw, who can remember me the command of smartmontools to check the disk health? [12:47] I just -a to print all [12:47] or try -h for list [12:47] Exterminador: smartmontools --help or man smartmontools [12:47] FManTropyx, leftyfb: thanks [12:48] s.m.a.r.t. is part of disks ( gparted) too [12:53] 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] s/model/CPU model [12:56] superola back [12:56] hi :D [12:56] does it work without ufw? [12:56] ehm im lockedout [12:56] disabling ufw was lockout lol [12:57] so i cant access it anymore xD [12:57] without ufw? [12:57] mhm [12:57] with disabled ufw it should be all acceibe [12:57] is iptables also a firewall? [12:58] ufw is a frontend for iptables [12:58] output of dmesg: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25146204/ [12:58] so you can modify iptables with ufw [12:58] ehm [13:00] Exterminador, line #938 ath9k 0000:04:00.0 wlp4s0: renamed from wlan0 .. [13:00] did you manually use wlan0? as 16.04 should use the new interface naming wlp4s0 [13:01] oerheks: i think i didnt [13:01] output of smartctl -a /dev/sda: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25146219/ [13:02] then it is just that ath9 wifi device that needs long authentication [13:02] on wired you would not have to wait that long. [13:03] oerheks: any way to check that to help speed up? [13:03] or not really? [13:03] i think my hdd is getting old.. :x [13:04] Nope, i don't know how to speed that up [13:04] well, 2min isn't that long [13:04] well, t4300 is not the latest technology, no vt-x and such ... [13:04] maybe that is of influence too [13:04] what do you think about the smartctl output? [13:05] yeah, its about 8-9 years old [13:07] 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] Exterminador, smart is not that bad, maybe a simple ssd can speed up that machine to usable. [13:09] yeah, i was thinking in one [13:09] maybe for Xmas [13:16] 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] I found out it's a ubuntu bug [13:16] already found out a workaround [13:17] hi all.. i'm getting blackscreen after boot... only the recovery mode works.. any sugestions about how to resolv this? [13:17] chr0n1c: try an older kernel [13:18] grub > advanced > choose an older kernel [13:18] i tryed this.. no success [13:18] i installed new one to.. but no success either [13:18] chr0n1c: how did the problem start? [13:18] just like magic... onde day i boot.. and this happen =) [13:19] swarfega, did you happen to be a member of rune-server in the past? [13:20] chr0n1c: do you have autologin enabled? [13:20] Ups. wrong chat [13:20] I'm an idiot [13:20] EriC^^, nop.. [13:21] chr0n1c: look at /var/log/syslog and /var/log/boot and /var/log/lightdm/* [13:21] chr0n1c: first in grub remove "quiet splash" and see what you get [13:24] how to update to Xubuntu 17.04 via command line? any advise against? :x [13:27] how do I check for / fix errors on an SD card ? [13:28] 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] Exterminador: do-release-upgrade if I remember correctly. [13:28] tim167: with it not mounted, sudo fsck -f /dev/sdxY [13:29] Exterminador: are you on 16.10? [13:29] EriC^^, thanks I'll try that [13:29] EriC^^: 16.04.2 LTS [13:30] tim167: no problem [13:31] Exterminador: it's up to you [13:31] you'll need to update to 17.10 once that comes out, then 18.04 [13:32] 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] tim167: Add -a or -y to the command (See: fsck --help) [13:33] 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] ahrs, ok, thanks [13:34] s/insted/instead [13:35] Exterminador: you want to install windows without wiping your current xubuntu install? [13:35] ahrs, although "assume yes to all questions" is ambiguous, because many questions are choices between more than two options [13:35] Hiyas all [13:36] ahrs, or does "yes" imply the 1st option on everything? [13:36] 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] and it can't be changed to logical on runtime [13:38] Exterminador, even with a bios you can still have 4 primaries [13:39] windows needs only one [13:40] fsck seems to hang indefinitely at "Truncating file to 184188928 bytes." , how do I get it to continue? [13:40] tim167: "Yes" means "yes" to everything. It will automatically repair the file system. [13:40] ahrs, I tried the -p option now, which looks like it also should repair automatically, but it hangs, (see my previous mssg) [13:41] erm.. how do i start GParted in english language? (default languge is portuguese) [13:41] sudo gparted [13:41] er...gksudo gparted [13:41] ahrs, just interrupted it, and tried with -y instead of -p, still hangs at the same place, "Truncating file to 184188928 bytes." [13:43] 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] nope, still starts in portuguese :x [13:43] 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] Is your whole system in portuguese or just gparted? thats kind fo a funny problem [13:44] ahrs, will do, thanks [13:44] MWM: the whole system [13:45] Exterminador: then change the language [13:45] and you just want gparted to start in English but not change the whole system? [13:45] MWM: correct [13:46] i know it's possible but dont remember the exact command [13:46] 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] https://makandracards.com/makandra/28205-linux-running-a-program-with-a-different-locale-than-your-default maybe this will help? [13:49] is there a Sketchup equivalent for ubuntu? [13:50] 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] Nm found one. Thanks [13:50] the location of the torrent states. Can you help? [13:51] There is nothing in the deluged setup guide I can find :( I must not be looking in the right place. [13:53] The good news is I am not getting any errors this time [13:56] this is how my partitions look in GParted https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/hZChttE9/partitions.png [13:58] 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] when i tell GParted to create a new partition: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/7kdmW2Rr/gparted_error.png [14:03] 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] WHAT EVEN [14:06] I concur [14:18] is there anyone around who knows their way around the deluged daemon? [14:21] ioria: no need aptitude did the trick, Thanks [14:22] 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] DJones, been in an out of there all day - no activity. I think everyone died in there. ;) [15:10] 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] something like $ python script.py | tee >(grep $stdout) [15:11] something like $ python script.py | tee >(grep $stdout) [15:12]
