[00:00] <marvin42> !nomodeset
[00:02] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Having problems ?
[00:03] <BlackDalek> ddellav, ok... well my ultimate goal is to copy the folder & contents of ~/.config/deluge to /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge and change read/write access permission for the copied file to the deluge user. What specific commands should I enter to do this?
[00:04] <ddellav> if the permissions are already set correctly for ~/.config/deluge then using the -p flag for cp will preserve the
[00:04] <ddellav> *them
[00:05] <marvin42>  Bashing-om : Yes. I've added the nomodeset to the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT as instructed but when I try to 'update-grub' I get the error : '/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).'
[00:05] <ddellav> so cp -pvR ~/.config/deluge/* /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/
[00:05] <marvin42> I'm accessing the installation via a Live CD using chroot
[00:05] <ddellav> BlackDalek the -v is for verbose and -R is for recursive
[00:06] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Ouch ! // lemme ponder a tic .
[00:06] <BlackDalek> ddellav, the permissions have not been set yet. I assume they are still only set for my user since they are in my home ~ folder
[00:06] <ddellav> BlackDalek ok, then after the cp is done, you would change the owner: chown deluge /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge -R
[00:07] <ddellav> and then chmod 644 /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/* -R would set read+write for owner, and read only for group and other
[00:08] <ddellav> though i am not familiar with the requirement of deluge specifically
[00:08] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Are you presently in the install ? sure makes no sense the system can not see the root partition .
[00:08] <BlackDalek> ddellav, the cp command failed.. it says "cp: failed to access '/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/': Permission denied"
[00:09] <ddellav> BlackDalek you'd need to run the command as root, since your user won't have access to that folder
[00:09] <ddellav> put sudo in front of it
[00:09] <BlackDalek> sorry.. forgot to sudo it
[00:09] <marvin42> Bashing-om, nope, I'm currently in the Live CD session. I'm accessing the faulty installation via chroot. I've mounte /dev/sda1 (the faulty installation) to /mnt and then chroot /mnt /bin/bash
[00:13] <BlackDalek> ddellav, hmm... ok, the cp and chown commands you suggested seemed to work, however the chmod command did not.
[00:13] <ddellav> BlackDalek that also needs to be run as root
[00:13] <ddellav> BlackDalek what error did you get?
[00:14] <BlackDalek> ddellav, I did... error is "chmod: cannot access '/var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge/*': No such file or directory"
[00:14] <Bashing-om> marvin42: OK . Need to set up a full change root if you going this route - no, do not tell me that you are new to linux - knowing to do a chroot !  There are much easuer ways to insert that nomodeset - we only need it temporarily .
[00:15] <marvin42> Bashing-om, I was taught how to chroot 30 minutes ago, on #nvidia
[00:15] <ddellav> BlackDalek drop the * at the end, that was my mistake
[00:15] <BlackDalek> ddellav, ok, that worked
[00:16] <ddellav> you'll need to chmod the folder itself to have execute privileges or else it won't be traversable. So chmod 755 /var/lib/deluge/.config/deluge
[00:16] <ddellav> BlackDalek ^
[00:16] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Ya want to go the chroot route ? Or try and set the boot parameter in grub's kernel boot line ?
[00:17] <countingdaisies> I would ask this in a backtrack channel but th eonly one I can find is #backtrack-it and it has 5 ppl. ...  If anyone is familiar wiht dual booting bt on top of an existing ubuntu 16.04 installation please holler at me
[00:17] <marvin42> Bashing-om, whatever you think it's best
[00:18] <marvin42> Bashing-om, booting on the faulty installation I'm able to get to the command line by booting on recovery mode
[00:19] <BlackDalek> ddellav, ok
[00:19] <marvin42> !grub
[00:19] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Best is a personal experience . easiest is to boot to the grub boot menu and edit the kernel command line . Can you boot to grub ? ( GRand Unified Bootloader )
[00:20] <marvin42> Bashing-om, sometimes pressing the Shift does it, sometimes it doesn't, it's weird. So, booting into GRUB what would I do?
[00:21] <lotuspsychje> dualboot | countingdaisies
[00:21] <Bashing-om> marvin42: We can also work from recovery . Will need to enable networking and set the file system to read/write . ( that too is another way ) .
[00:21] <lotuspsychje> !dualboot | countingdaisies
[00:22] <marvin42> Bashing-om, very well, I'm listening with pen and paper
[00:24] <Bashing-om> marvin42: At the grub boot menu with a normal latest kernel selected to boot; press the 'e' key for edit mode -> boot parameters screen . Here arrow down to the line starting with linux and across to quiet splash. Remove these terms and insert the term nomodeset. key combo ctl+x to continue the boot process. TBC
[00:25] <Bashing-om> marvin42: With the removeal of quiet splash;  then the boot messages are visable .
[00:25] <Maynard> Maynard420
[00:26] <Maynard> Hello
[00:26] <Bashing-om> Maynard: You rang ?
[00:27] <marvin42> Bashing-om, what terms do I remove 'quiet' and 'splash' OR all the terms between 'linux' and 'splash' (Im not seeing them atm)
[00:27] <Maynard> Hi bashing .... so my usb will not allow me to change permissons and I need to recovver files.  I'm working from the live usb atm
[00:28] <marvin42> *remove, *'splash'?
[00:28] <Bashing-om> Maynard: recover off the internal hard drive ? then 'sudo' should give you access .
[00:29] <boriseto> Hi. For some reason on 16.04 even when I try to hide the files and folders, nautilus shows them on next run. How do I change the behavior to always hide the hidden ones?
[00:30] <SethT> on my desktop i have 2 partitions, one with win 10 and one with ubuntu. i completely filled up the ubuntu disk and only windows will load. how do i remove/browse files form the ubuntu partition from windows?
[00:30] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Tou should see a line similar " linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic root=UUID=dbd69ed2-530c-4409-8f5a-a3f1ea41fc67 ro quiet splash " Is this a desktop install of 'buntu ?
[00:31] <Bashing-om> tou/You*
[00:31] <lotuspsychje> SethT: ask in ##windows plz
[00:32] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: to create a hidden folder rename with a .
[00:32] <marvin42> Bashing-om, it's Lubuntu 17.04
[00:32] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: I know that, but nautilus shows all my files and folders that start with . by default. Want to change that
[00:33] <marvin42> Bashing-om, I'm going to give a try thanks
[00:34] <Bashing-om> marvin42: In Grub's boot parameter screen there is that line .
[00:34] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: did you doublecheck nautilus/preferences/appereance/hidden folders?
[00:34] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: yeap.
[00:34] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: even in dconf
[00:35] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: thats weird, ubuntu version and nautilus version?
[00:36] <Maynard> Bashing-om trying to recover from unbootable usb..  sudo what? I formatted backup usb to ext4 and it will not allow access to move files... I tried as root as well.
[00:37] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: 16.04 and naut: 3.14.3
[00:37] <lotuspsychje> !info nautilus xenial
[00:37] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: system not up to date?
[00:38] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: latest
[00:38] <lotuspsychje> strange
[00:38] <boriseto> .3.14.3-0ubuntu6 (xenial), packag
[00:38] <boriseto> as you can see
[00:38] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: can you check on another user/guest account if hidden files show?
[00:39] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: ehm. let me enable guest (i think i've disabled it). also i can tick to hide the files, but by default it shows them, you did catch that part, right?
[00:39] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: lets see if its overall or user bounded
[00:40] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: i need to logout :|
[00:40] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: yeah, normally by default should hide folders with .
[00:40] <boriseto> but have something running in the background...
[00:41] <boriseto> wait
[00:41] <boriseto> think i got it
[00:41] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: yeah found it
[00:42] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: in dconf instead the nautilus settings it uses the org->gtk->settings->file-chooser
[00:42] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: in there it was chosen to show the hidden files
[00:42] <Maynard> Bashing-om did you catch my last?
[00:42] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: that's why it showed me the hidden files by default
[00:42] <boriseto> it's a strange setting though
[00:43] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: also relevant: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1171852
[00:43] <boriseto> Yeah, like it says: The "show-hidden-file" key is deprecated and ignored. The "show-hidden" key from "org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser" is now used instead.
[00:43] <lotuspsychje> !yay | boriseto
[00:43] <Bashing-om> Maynard: I bounce about a lot :) . is the USB drive that you are attempting to recover from mounted ' mount' ?
[00:45] <boriseto> lotuspsychje: thanks for your help
[00:45] <Maynard> NP normally usb automounts but I removed and reinserted and it still is not showing on desktop
[00:46] <lotuspsychje> boriseto: no sweat ; )
[00:46] <Maynard> GPaarted is not even seeing it either
[00:46] <Bashing-om> Maynard: Yukkie . does ' lsusb' show the device ?
[00:49] <BlackDalek> ddellav, thanks for helping me, but I think I just ended up breaking something anyway :( The deluged daemon no longer runs. The systemd service which starts it keeps exiting. deluged.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. :(

[00:51] <Bashing-om> Maynard: You have voice once more . No flooding the channel .
[00:51] <marvin42> Bashing-om, after the UUID there were the following terms: ro priority=low acpi=off noapic nolapic ed=\on quiet splash $vt_handoff . And So, I deleted 'quiet' and 'splash' and inserted nomodeset in that place. The error continues, the login appears, and all is frozen (except the cursor, it's blinking)
[00:53] <Bashing-om> marvin42: K . Now why all the alternate boot parameters ? Why do you think any of them are needed ? Messing with acpi is power management ( Advanced Configuration and Power Interface ) not something to enter into lightly .
[00:58] <marvin42> Bashing-om, they were defined as wild guess when I was battling to install Lubuntu. Nothing was working, so in the live version before install I activated those parameters. Shall I delete them?
[00:58] <Maynard> test
[00:58] <Maynard> OK
[00:59] <Maynard> Bashing-om I was simply posting the lsusb output.  In short it's only showing the live usb 4Gb
[01:00] <Maynard> THanks Bashing... I didn't know I couldn't post 8 short lines.... my bad
[01:03] <Exterminador> quick question: how do I add my wife account on Xubuntu to sudoers list?
[01:04] <marvin42> !sudoers
[01:05] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Yes delete the addes boot parameters . Befor the install did you boot up the live installer ? Make sure all was good . Presently we do not even know that the install is in a consistent state .
[01:06] <Exterminador> okay, found it via Settings > Users and Groups :)
[01:06] <Exterminador> we gotta love Linux
[01:07] <marvin42> Bashing-om, yes, I did so. If I hadn't defined those parameters the live installer wouldn't boot. I'm going to try to delete them...
[01:07] <Bashing-om> Maynard: Maybe - just maybe testdisk too see that USB drive ? Until it is seen nothing can be done .
[01:08] <Maynard> Bashing-om ROger that
[01:08] <Bashing-om> Maynard: marvin42 Got to be away for a few minutes - back in about 15 minutes .
[01:09] <Maynard> (y)
[01:10] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: to get your issue solved, re-ask in channel once in a while with all your details
[01:11] <Maynard> @lotuspsychje thanks
[01:11] <Maynard> So testdisk is showing and now it is on desktop......strange.
[01:12] <Maynard> failed to mount
[01:15] <Maynard> I'm trying to recover files in live mode from usb.  I ran testdisk and it came up in desktop but failed to mount.
[01:15] <Maynard> Any suggestions?
[01:16] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: to recover data, use photorec on testdisk
[01:19] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: or boot your system with recoverymode?
[01:19] <lotuspsychje> !recovery | Maynard
[01:19] <marvin42> Bashing-om, deleted them all, added the nomodeset, but same error occurs
[01:22] <sfdebug> hi, when i plug my phone on the wall is charges, but on the usb port it doesn't...
[01:22] <sfdebug> does anyone have any idea why?
[01:22] <marvin42> !recovery
[01:23] <Maynard> I'm unfamilar with testdisk.  Howdo I run photorec?
[01:24] <Maynard> Also when I do the live usb there is no recovery mode option.  I've never seen that option ever.  Been running 14.04 for years and it's neer shown that option.
[01:25] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: recoverymode, you can load with entering grub, then choose ubuntu(recoverymode)
[01:26] <Maynard> It is showing (in testdisk)  options Analyze. andvanced. geometry. options. quit.
[01:26] <Maynard> I for get how to get to grub..... f2 when it tries loading?
[01:27] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: hold shift at boot, until you get in grub
[01:28] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: photorec is a part of testdisk, sudo photorec after the testdisk install
[01:28] <Maynard> OK will try that. I assume since this is in live mode I'll have to re-register or can I use the same email to register?
[01:30] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: if you already registered your nickname, /msg nickserv identify yourpassword here
[01:31] <Maynard> so same email... got it.
[01:31] <sfdebug> hi, when i plug my phone on the wall is charges, but on the usb port it doesn't... any idea why?
[01:31] <Maynard> In photo rec it is asking desination to save files
[01:32] <Maynard>  drwxr-xr-x   999   999       540 23-Jul-2017 01:28 ..
[01:33] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: look at below, and press the right key to confirm destination
[01:34] <Maynard> there are two drwxr-xr-x 999 999
[01:34] <Maynard> one is 40 other is 540
[01:34] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: i think by default, photorec saves in your /home
[01:34] <Maynard> I don't know what those even mean.
[01:35] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: are you sure you choose the right partition to recover and not your usb media?
[01:36] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: thats what you wanted to do right, recover data of your ubuntu system harddisk?
[01:36] <Maynard> Yes
[01:36] <entourage> does Ubuntu have native support for the Nvidia GeForce 10 series like GeForce 1060 ??
[01:36] <kristhian> who is familiar with higan game emulator here?
[01:36] <Maynard> DO I need to use another usb to store them?
[01:36] <kristhian> or does use it?
[01:38] <lotuspsychje> !nvidia | entourage
[01:39] <Maynard> the directory /home/ubuntu-studio/Downloads is not big enough to store files.... live usb is only 4G and the files I need to recover are 15ish Gigs
[01:40] <Maynard> Or should I just screw this testdick since I'm unfamiliar and try the recovery mode?
[01:40] <Maynard> oops
[01:40] <Maynard> *testdisk
[01:41] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: how about you plug out your hd physically and recover your data and reinstall ubuntu fresh after?
[01:42] <Maynard> HD is usb.  No internal HDD due to SATA failing to read.  I've been running solely on usbs
[01:43] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Back to the keyboard . What laptop are we working with that lubuntu does not install properly too ?
[01:43] <marvin42> asus x50gl
[01:44] <lotuspsychje> Maynard: what you mean no hd? your running usb always live on your asus?
[01:44] <Bashing-om> entourage: Fully supported : http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/118290/en-us .
[01:45] <Maynard> No internal HDD.  I run a 4Gflash for my installl bootable live usb and the 128G flash is my HD
[01:45] <Maynard> the 128 is what I need to recover files from.
[01:46] <Maynard> I have a 32G I use for my backup nut I formatted to ext4 and read-only permissions
[01:46] <Maynard> *but
[01:46] <Maynard> not nut lol
[01:47] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Integrated graphics on the Asus . By chance do you have the nvidia chip set disabled in bios ?
[01:48] <Maynard> I can't seem to get permissions to change either on the 32G
[01:49] <marvin42> Bashing-om, I cannot access the bios, I don't have a clue. I had it working well with the binary drivers. This was due to changing to nouveau drivers and installing the corresponding package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
[01:51] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Good to know . We need to boot to a terminal somewhere and find out the graphic's card and then install the correct version proprietary graphic's driver .
[01:53] <Maynard> Any suggestions or just go with recovery?
[01:53] <Maynard> Bueller? lol
[01:56] <Bashing-om> marvin42: IF you can boot a recovery kernel. we can set up and work from there too .

[01:59] <marvin42> !nvidia-current
[02:00] <marvin42> Bashing-om, before trying the noveau (which caused this problem) I believe I was using this one: nvidia-340 - NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.102
[02:05] <Maynard> Lotuspsychje and Bashing-om Gonna go with recovery and see what happens.
[02:06] <Bashing-om> marvin42: That is the correct driver( The 340.xx driver >> GeForce 8200M ): http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html . So we want to a) get nouveau working or B) re-install the 340 driver . To do so we have to have a terminal .
[02:07] <marvin42> Bashing-om, b) I'm on it atm
[02:09] <marvin42> Bashing-om, dpkg encountered several errors because the kernel of this live session is different from that on chroot. I have downloaded the packages for 340 and I'm now going to boot into recovery mode to get a command line to reinstall them. brb
[02:09] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Great -> at the reconvery menu "enable networking' then 'root shell' . Once in the root terminal we reset the file system to read/write .
[02:09] <marvin42> Bashing-om, aye aye Sire!
[02:36] <marvin42> Bashing-om, I've installed nvidia-340. got an error at the end which stated: apt had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (3 vs 10) <br> Affected packages> bdswitch:i386 nvidia-340: i386

[03:42] <marvin42> Bashing-om, you're a wonderful teacher, a master, thanks for your support. I may have a dead OS but I've learned a lot today, both here and on #nvidia. I have the problem opened in the ubuntuforums. Tomorrow I'll try to boot into the installed OS. For now I'll have some rest. Thanks so very much for your help, you are terrific! Hope to see you around soon. Goodbye!
[03:43] <Bashing-om> marvin42: Rest well . I will be back on here tomorrow .
[03:44] <Stifler> Hi people. My googlefu is failing, I would like to apt-get install xorg with no prompting, however it askes for keyboard type during install. How do I make it assume  a keybopard type? Or is there a package'
[03:44] <Stifler> which just installs all kbs?
[03:45] <Stifler> kb type is just standard US
[03:49] <Cobrax> Stifler
[03:49] <Cobrax> add -y
[03:50] <Stifler> no good for this one. Its within the package
[03:50] <Cobrax> ah, you want to automate it for mass deployment?
[03:51] <Stifler> well 'mass deployment' might be a bit much! but yes I would like to script it :)
[03:51] <Cobrax> https://serverfault.com/questions/210948/disable-prompts-while-installing-a-debian-package
[03:51] <Cobrax> See if this helps
[03:52] <Cobrax> I'm not too well versed in apt to know that
[03:52] <Cobrax> Though I am confidant it is possible
[03:53] <Stifler> I read that one :) thanks. The question pops up "inside" during the install.  I'm looking to see if there is a meta package perhaps, maybe this one ?? xserver-xorg-input-all
[03:53] <Cobrax> Try it
[03:55] <Stifler> I might have to! was trying to save my self waiting for a 4GB chroot to build :p
[03:55] <Cobrax>  Why post here though
[03:56] <Cobrax> ##linux are really good at this kind of stuff
[03:56] <Stifler> well technically I am install ubu into the chroot :)
[03:56] <Stifler> the prompt /looks like/ this (a bit more cli-ish) https://i.stack.imgur.com/AVALv.png
[03:57] <Stifler> I will try there as well. Thanks Cobrax
[03:58] <Cobrax> are you from american pie
[04:04] <Stifler> lol! no.
[04:43] <Maynard420> Can some tell me so I can just copy paste change usb permissions in live session?
[04:43] <Maynard420> for a usb
[04:44] <Maynard420> I formatted it to ext 4 and it will not allow me t otranfer files.
[04:44] <Maynard420> transfer
[04:45] <Maynard420> sudo chmod 666 /dev/sdc   chmod ugo+rwx  chmod: missing operand after ‘ugo+rwx’
[04:45] <Maynard420> is what I tried
[04:46] <Maynard420> I know this is something stupid and simple buut no forums seem to have a way to do this.
[04:46] <Ben64> Maynard420: you probably need a 'sudo chown $user <mountpoint>'
[04:46] <Maynard420> ok pretend I know nothing here lol
[04:47] <Maynard420> so sudo chown my name /dev/sdc right?
[04:48] <Ben64> Maynard420: no, the mountpoint, not the device
[04:49] <Ben64> could also use $user like i said
[04:49] <Ben64> wait its $USER
[04:50] <Bashing-om> Maynard420: Where is the USB device mounted from ? /media ? show us ' ls -al /media/<username>/ and we can then be the more specific .
[04:50] <Maynard420> so how do I find the mount point if it's not the sdc?
[04:51] <Maynard420> I think it's media
[04:51] <Ben64> mount | grep sdc
[04:51] <Ben64> will show it if it's mounted
[04:52] <Bashing-om> Maynard420: With the device plugged in , what shows ' mount '  for the mounbt point ?
[04:52] <Maynard420> it is mounted
[04:54] <Maynard420> crap I lost that... can you repeat
[04:54] <Maynard420> ?
[04:55] <Maynard420> I am already root@ubuntu-studio:~#
[04:56] <Ben64> Maynard420: get out of root
[04:56] <Maynard420> k
[04:57] <Maynard420> ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio:~$  <<<is what it says
[04:58] <Ben64> do you have the mountpoint yet
[04:58] <Maynard420> I lost that . how do I get the mountpoint?
[04:59] <Maynard420> Got kicked off.
[04:59] <Ben64> mount | grep sdc
[05:03] <Maynard420> It won't copy to here
[05:03] <Maynard420> so what do I do with that line?
[05:04] <Ben64> it'll say something like /dev/sdc on /this/is/the/mountpoint
[05:05] <Maynard420> yes I see it now what do I do with it?
[05:05] <Ben64> sudo chown $USER mountpoint
[05:07] <Maynard420> sudo chown $USER /media/ubuntu-studio/Backup entered
[05:07] <Maynard420> now what?
[05:10] <Maynard420> Ben64 ?
[05:11] <Maynard420> I know this has too be a retardedly simple set of lines
[05:11] <Maynard420> anyone?
[05:11] <kristhian> excuse me, how can i fix this problem?
[05:11] <kristhian> W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net trusty Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 1015216E75198A89
[05:12] <kristhian> can i just nano /etc/hosts and https that instead of http?
[05:12] <Ben64> Maynard420: uh thats it
[05:13] <Ben64> kristhian: no and no and no
[05:13] <Maynard420> <<<THere is not enough face to palm here
[05:13] <Ben64> kristhian: https or http doesn't belong anywhere in /etc/hosts
[05:13] <Maynard420> Checked permissions..let's see if it'll let me back this up now.
[05:16] <Maynard420> I've been looking for HOURS with not ONE f*&%(*OKR forum that says enter mount | grep then insert the /output after sudo chown $USER
[05:16] <kristhian> Ben64, how do i fix that?
[05:16] <Ben64> Maynard420: i answered you after like 3 mins...
[05:17] <Ben64> also try to watch the language here, even if censored it's usually not well received
[05:17] <Ben64> kristhian: you need to get the key, should be instructions on the ppa page
[05:17] <Maynard420> I censored it for that reason lol
[05:19] <Maynard420> Finally backing up now.  Thanks.  I could've been done with a fresh install HOURS ago if someone somewhhere had put such a simple answer on a forum
[05:22] <Bashing-om> kristhian:  Try as : ' sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver  keyserver.ubuntu.com 1015216E75198A89 ' . to get the key .
[05:24] <Maynard420> Another stupid question here.  Transfer began at 50MB/s and now barely hits 5.  I have opened nothing new... why does it slow down? Is there some setting that throttles it down?
[05:24] <Ben64> cache at first now it's probably actual transfer speed
[05:25] <kristhian> yep
[05:25] <kristhian> got it now Bashing-om thanks tho
[05:25] <Maynard420> ARghhh... no wonder.  I put it in the only 1.0 slot.  Should I cancel and move it or am I going to mess things up?
[05:25] <kristhian> i forgot where is the directory of the ppa's located
[05:26] <kristhian> what is the location of it btw?
[05:26] <kristhian> may i ask?
[05:27] <leaftype> Maynard420, you put a USB drive into a usb 1, and you get 5 mbps?
[05:27] <Maynard420> leftype yes
[05:28] <Maynard420> can't type
[05:28] <Bashing-om> kristhian: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[05:28] <kristhian> aw, yes that's its
[05:28] <kristhian> it8
[05:28] <kristhian> thanks
[05:29] <Maynard420> anyone?
[05:29] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: Did you *copy* or did you "move"? If you're just copying then I would recommend starting over. If you did some kind of "move" operation then the question becomes less clear and I'd want more info.
[05:29] <Maynard420> says copying files
[05:30] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: Patience please. Comments that simply say "anyone?" clutter the channel and are unproductive (and are considered rude by some).
[05:30] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: Did you drag the files from one place to the other using nautilus (the default GUI file manager in Ubuntu)?
[05:31] <Maynard420> I just highlighted all.  CLick n drag
[05:31] <leaftype> Wasn't there a bug in nautilus that slows down transfer speeds?
[05:32] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: I would stop and retry. If the data is very important then excercise extra caution to make sure that you don't accidentally do something you didn't intend.
[05:33] <leaftype> Maynard420, depending on how much info you need to copy, I would do it again via usb 2.0 port, and via command line
[05:34] <leaftype> Maynard420, how much info are you copying?
[05:34] <Maynard420> 15G
[05:34] <Maynard420> It's taking forever to cancel
[05:35] <leaftype> Yeah, that makes sense
[05:35] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: It may be waiting for the current file to finish before cancelling *or* it may be waiting for the data already read into cache but not written yet.
[05:36] <Maynard420> "writing data to device"  there is data that need written blah blah do  not remove.
[05:37] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: Dod you understand what we're referring to with cache?
[05:37] <Jordan_U> *do
[05:37] <Maynard420> It's just a few movies and a handful of pics...just yank the plug or will I mess it up?
[05:38] <leaftype> Maynard420, you'll corrupt the pictures most likely
[05:38] <Maynard420> Only thing I know of cache is how to empty it from chrome lol
[05:39] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: So, when you're copying a file from one place to another the first thing that happens is that the data is read into RAM, then the data in RAM is written to the disk.
[05:41] <Jordan_U> Maynard420: If you have a lot of free RAM, and your HD is much faster than your USB drive (which it is in your case) then the kernel may read for example 1 GiB of files into RAM, and make it look to any application reading from the USB drive like it has already been copied there, but in reality it will take a long time to write all of that GiB of data that's in RAM to your UB 1.0 disk.
[05:42] <leaftype> Jordan_U, if he pulled the drive, plugged it back in, and restarted, would that cancel it faster, then overwrite the corrupted file?
[05:44] <Jordan_U> leaftype: Yes*                                   *(There are a few things that could go wrong but probably won't, so whether or not this is a good idea depends on how important the data is and how they're going to use it later)
[05:44] <leaftype> thanks
[05:44] <Jordan_U> leaftype: You're welcome.
[05:47] <Maynard420> Sorry I had to reboot in order to switch usb ports.
[05:48] <leaftype> Maynard420, I can't think of any reason you'd have to reboot your computer for that...
[05:48] <Maynard420> last I saw was it write to RAM then to USB.
[05:48] <Maynard420> It's inn live session.
[05:49] <Maynard420> all ports are being used.
[05:52] <Maynard420> This lappy is a Frankenstien.  2006 HP w/ no internal HDD.  SATA won't read from motherboard (?) issue. 16G RAM and I run a 4G to do fresh installs cause it is always crashing.  A 32G flash for file backup and a 12g 3.0usb to act as my HD.
[05:52] <Maynard420> sorry 128G not 12 lol
[05:54] <Maynard420> Make sense yet?  BAHAHAHAHA!
[05:55] <leaftype> Maynard420, you're booting from an external HD, and copying a 15Gb file to a 32 Gb flash drive, and both your external HD and the flash drive are on USB 2.0 port
[05:57] <leaftype> Maynard420, right? If either the flash drive or the external HD are on a USB 1.0 port, it's going to take a long time. That's when you need patience
[05:58] <Maynard420> 4G is the bootable live USB.  32G is for the backup files. 128G is what I use as my HD.  All flash drives.
[05:58] <leaftype> Maximum thoroughput on usb 1.0 I think I just read is 12 Mbps, but you can expect roughly half that because usb is stupid. So... 15 GB at 5 MBps is about what you should expect. Your previous rate is about right.
[05:59] <leaftype> that's going to be slow and painful
[06:00] <Maynard420> The 4 ports are 1-1.0, a 2.0 and 2-3.0s  The backup is UN fortunately a 2.0 flash so that slows things but I that's why I have so little for backup.  The only 3.0 port and 3..0 usb is the one I run as my HD.
[06:02] <Maynard420> Like I said Frankenstein.  And then I have to run a cooler cause HP has a crap ventilation and runs too hot.  So, all 4 ports get used.
[06:02] <Maynard420> It's a shame the BIOS won't read SD card.  Would be faster.....
[06:03] <Maynard420> I mean BIOS won't set to "boot from SD"
[06:03] <leaftype> right, but speed will be limited by the slowest one in the chain. You're SOL for transfer speed
[06:04] <Maynard420> I know but it was in the 1.0 now it only bottles down tot the 2.0 rather than before when the back up was getting sent to the 1.0.
[06:05] <Maynard420> *1.0 port
[06:07] <Maynard420> 5 minutes remaining now vs 40 minutes when it was in the 1.0 port.
[06:14] <iopq_> Any idea why Ctrl+5 may not be working in starcraft and the browser? It shows keypressed in xev
[07:37] <bomb> Are AMD GPU drivers still problematic on Ubuntu?
[07:38] <bomb> I'm trying to decide between nVidia GTX 1050 and AMD Rx 560
[07:39] <linux-phaedrus> bomb: If you can compile and use kernel 4.12.0 (latest kernel), the amdgpu drivers work beautifully. I am using a Radeon RX 460 and have faced no problems whatsoever with the fully open-source amdgpu driver
[07:41] <bomb> linux-phaedrus: Oh amdgpu seems to be provided by AMD itself. that's great
[07:42] <linux-phaedrus> bomb: Yes, it is the long awaited mainlined open source AMD GPU driver set. the updated, cleaned up version only landed in kernel 4.12.0
[07:45] <bomb> linux-phaedrus: i never compiled custom kernel before, and i have things to do. is it a painful process? should i just install 17.10 daily builds which comes with 4.13?
[07:52] <jatt> no need to compile, use one of these instead: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[07:57] <bomb> that's nice
[07:58] <bomb> what's the status of Nvidia drivers on Linux?

[08:28] <oerheks> softwarecenter open together with tty?
[08:28] <oerheks> or are there updates pending?
[08:28] <bazhang> mitmf, did you use sudo, or is another apt instance open
[08:28] <omilun> hello . i want to know about orginal file path of jurnalctl.
[08:29] <oerheks> find journalctl / which journalctl
[08:29] <oerheks> locate journalctl, 3 ways
[08:29] <mitmf> bazhang: how can i do?
[08:30] <omilun> oerheks: ?
[08:30] <bazhang> mitmf, which is it, did you not use sudo, or is another apt instance running
[08:30] <omilun> oerheks: i can not find it on a server
[08:31] <oerheks> omilun, on what ubuntu version?
[08:31] <omilun> oerheks: 16.4
[08:31] <mitmf> sudo apt install gqrx-sdr
[08:31] <oerheks> omilun, which journalctl # this should work

[09:02] <wally1337> Has anyone here had trouble installing codeblocks on zesty?
[09:04] <wally1337> I'm getting an isssue with the recommended repository not having the 32bit zesty file and not even mentioning the 64bit one
[09:05] <oerheks> !info codeblocks
[09:05] <oerheks> zesty got the latest 16.01, make sure you have universe enabled

[09:07] <nkz> hey, I am new to linux. How do I uninstall programs I built from source? There are no instructions for uninstalling in the docs.  Here is what I got: http://imgur.com/a/PZcWM
[09:07] <badsektor> nkz, i think it is apt-get purge
[09:07] <bazhang> nkz, did you use checkinstall
[09:07] <oerheks> nkz, if you build it correctly, you build an uninstall too.
[09:08] <nkz> badsektor: There is no package
[09:08] <bazhang> !checkinstall | nkz
[09:08] <badsektor> nkz, oh you mean you built from source... well if you still have the folders where you built them, go in them and try: make uninstall
[09:08] <nkz> bazhang: idk what that is, so I guess no
[09:08] <bazhang> nkz, I just gave you what that is
[09:08] <nkz> yeah I've read it now. I will do that from now on
[09:09] <badsektor> nkz, if you have the build folder around, cd to it and make uninstall
[09:09] <soman> Hi all. Is it possible to upgrade packages on installation 14.04 & 16.04 *.iso to not to run update-manager after installation?
[09:09] <wally1337> thanks for the help
[09:10] <nkz> badsektor: how to make uninstall? I installed it via python script
[09:11] <wally1337> oerheks, why did I need to do that, what does it allow?
[09:11] <wally1337> oerheks, ignore that
[09:12] <badsektor> nkz, download the package again, open the install script with text editor, read it
[09:13] <badsektor> nkz, find out if it has an 'uninstall' function that you can run as a parameter.. otherwise find out where it installs what, and you can manually remove them
[09:13] <nkz> badsektor: okay, thanks for the help
[09:13] <badsektor> nkz sure
[09:21] <nkz> badsektor: I figured it out, I uninstalled it with pip
[09:31] <wally1337> oerheks, which gtk should I install for codeblocks?
[09:32] <wally1337> oerheks, sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-0 doesn't exist
[09:35] <badsektor> nkz, good to hear
[10:39] <Superola> Hi, i have tried to open a port on my dedicated machine for a few days now, and i dont get the hang of it. Someone who can help me ? =)
[10:48] <jatt> did you already try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[10:51] <SimonNL> or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Gufw
[10:52] <Superola> yeah :S i did, in the end i deactivated UFW
[10:52] <Superola> now trying do open with iptables. haha , im so new to this x
[11:05] <Ben64> Superola: if you don't have any firewall rules then nothing is stopping it
[11:06] <Superola> hmm, dont know what the problem is xD need help to locate it^^
[11:06] <Ben64> explain what you want to do exactly
[11:06] <Superola> i want the port 8125 to be open
[11:07] <Superola> Im running a gameserver and everything is working exept they cant download a texturepack thrue that port.
[11:08] <Ben64> you want it open from the internet
[11:08] <Superola> yes =)
[11:09] <Ben64> then you need to do that on your router
[11:09] <Superola> i have none ^^ its on a it center in france xD
[11:09] <Ben64> whats the ip
[11:10] <Superola> 195.154.200.237
[11:10] <Ben64> well you need to run something listening on that port
[11:11] <Superola> can i check if something is running on that port now?
[11:11] <Ben64> "netstat -ln | grep 8125 | grep LISTEN" I guess...
[11:12] <Superola> tcp6       0      0 127.0.1.1:8125          :::*                    LISTEN
[11:13] <Superola> shows this.
[11:14] <Ben64> means its only listening on localhost
[11:14] <Superola> hmm
[11:15] <Superola> can I somehow change that?
[11:15] <Ben64> that would be in the program
[11:16] <Superola> :(
[11:18] <Superola> at home i juste added the port to my machine then it worked ^^ but on this dedicated server i cant :(
[11:31] <naf> hi
[11:32] <naf> how can i expand my system partition size? i have booted from a live disk and opened gparted on the live boot, and am trying to move my partitions around so i can extend the boot partition of the system i'm trying to change
[11:32] <naf> ?
[11:32] <naf> here's an image: https://i.gyazo.com/992bbe95db2989b8096779f164efb63c.png
[11:32] <naf> the trouble i'm having is, the partitions seem to be locked for some reason
[11:32] <naf> and i'm not sure why since i'm on a live boot
[11:35] <ioria> naf, they are simply mounted .... but i don't think you can resize boot
[11:37] <typeVoid> This happened, may somebody explain to me what's was up with my system http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153456/
[11:37] <typeVoid> It's stopped repeating now and everything seems fine
[11:37] <naf> i'm going to try the gparted live boot iso and see
[11:37] <naf> other people seem to be able to do this
[11:38] <ioria> naf, and  i don't see the MountPoints
[11:40] <ioria> naf,  can you paste 'sudo parted -l' ?
[11:40] <EriC^^> naf: what's the problem?
[11:41] <ioria> EriC^^, he wants to resize /boot  https://i.gyazo.com/992bbe95db2989b8096779f164efb63c.png
[11:43] <EriC^^> ioria: naf i'm kind of confused, /boot is on the same partition as "/" no?
[11:44] <EriC^^> you have 10gb unallocated at the end though, and 1gb swap
[11:44] <ioria> EriC^^,  idt he has a /
[11:44] <EriC^^> ioria: where else would / be though?
[11:45] <EriC^^> naf: why do you want to resize /boot?
[11:45] <naf> seems to be fine when i boot gparted directly
[11:45] <naf> https://i.gyazo.com/ad49da8106be89c9ad062ba09af42496.png
[11:45] <naf> EriC, i need more space on my vm
[11:46] <ioria> EriC^^,  i don't get if sda1 is /boot or /
[11:46] <EriC^^> ioria: it must be /
[11:46] <EriC^^> naf: you have 10gb unallocated in the disk, make a partition using it and mkfs.ext4 it
[11:47] <EriC^^> and use it somehow, either for data, or move /usr there
[11:47] <ioria> naf,  so how can you resize /boot if you don't have it ?
[11:47] <EriC^^> or maybe as /home
[11:47] <naf> thanks for the help EriC, but i've managed to complete what i'm trying to do using gparted ui

[11:48] <EriC^^> naf: that's an excellent idea
[11:48] <ioria> naf ok but that's not /boot but the root fs /
[11:48] <EriC^^> naf: you can make sda1 use the whole space now if you'd like
[11:48] <EriC^^> i think gparted does it automatically by pressing resize
[11:49] <EriC^^> ah, you have it already opened :D
[11:50] <typeVoid> every time I run 'update-grub2' it constantly outputs 'Invalid output format export' http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153509/ everything works well, what's causing this?
[11:52] <EriC^^> typeVoid: did you edit anything in /etc/grub.d/ ?
[11:52] <typeVoid> I'll check
[11:52] <typeVoid> Actually I think I edited the 400_custom file. I'll paste that
[11:53] <EriC^^> seems to be between the linux one and os_prober
[11:55] <typeVoid> here's 10_linux http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153547/
[11:56] <typeVoid> here's os-prober: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153559/
[11:56] <typeVoid> I've reverted the changes to 40_custom and the message still persists
[11:56] <EriC^^> typeVoid: any modifications to /etc/default/grub ?
[11:57] <typeVoid> I'm not sure, although here's the file http://paste.ubuntu.com/25153566/
[11:58] <EriC^^> it looks fine
[11:59] <typeVoid> Everything works fine but I still there's something mildly wrong somewhere
[11:59] <EriC^^> which ubuntu version are you using?
[12:00] <typeVoid> 16.04
[12:00] <typeVoid> * 16.04.2
[12:02] <EriC^^> i found someone with the same bug, it's in italian though, translated here https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=https://forum.ubuntu-it.org/viewtopic.php%3Ff%3D30%26t%3D615666&prev=search
[12:04] <EriC^^> typeVoid: try apt-cache policy util-linux | grep Installed
[12:04] <EriC^^> !info util-linux xenial
[12:05] <typeVoid> it  returns 2.27.1-6ubuntu3.2
[12:05] <EriC^^> try updating it, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install util-linux
[12:06] <EriC^^> on second thought i guess it wont help, no harm in updating it though
[12:07] <typeVoid> It worked...
[12:08] <typeVoid> Eric^^: Thank you for your help!
[12:10] <linuxlove> hi
[12:11] <linuxlove> i want to create a cron job to edit a file and replace false with true every houre
[12:12] <EriC^^> typeVoid: great! no problem!
[12:13] <EriC^^> linuxlove: how many instances do you want to replace?
[12:13] <linuxlove> i have just one true
[12:14] <EriC^^> are you sure it'll always be like that?
[12:15] <EriC^^> 0 * * * * sed -i 's/false/true/' /path/to/file
[12:15] <EriC^^> it'll replace every "false" it finds, even if it's in the middle of a sentence, etc, fyi
[12:15] <typeVoid> I need to learn cron syntax one day, I always find myself on stack overflow when creating a job
[12:16] <EriC^^> linuxlove: maybe if you have some kind of variable put sed -i '/Something=false/Something=true/' /path/to/file
[12:39] <esteeven> I have installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 but the fonts - particularly in Googlemail - are horrible. I created a new user and opened my Googlemail and the fonts were fine. What do I need to change in my /home to restore the original font settings? I have recently been on an install binge so it might be that there's a config file around that shouldn't be.
[12:46] <Maynard420> Hello
[12:48] <Maynard420> I am doing a fresh install atm.  Can I mount another usb without messing anything up?
[12:50] <typeVoid> Maynard420, are you going to unplug the installer USB while mounting your other one?
[12:52] <Maynard420> nope
[12:52] <Maynard420> different port
[12:53] <typeVoid> I believe that it shouldn't mess anything up
[12:53] <typeVoid> Just don't un-mount the installer pendrive
[12:54] <Maynard420> Believe or know?
[12:54] <Maynard420> I ask because the one I want to mount has my backup files on it.
[12:55] <Sparky-UK> Hi, I am trying to set echo "Etc/UTC" > /etc/timezone but when I run sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata it sets the timezone back to what it was before "Europe/Paris", any ideas why?
[12:56] <typeVoid> Maynard420: Believe/Know, I can't think of anything that could possibly go wrong. There's one thing in the back of my mind that something could go wrong while mounting the drive and then the OS may crash, but other than that, no. Nothing should go wrong
[12:59] <Maynard420> typeVoid: How do I go about manually mounting then because the typical click desktop icon > mount fails
[13:00] <typeVoid> mount /dev/sdb<drivenum> /media/<foldername>
[13:00] <typeVoid> well, assuming our drive is /dev/sdb<number>
[13:01] <typeVoid> also,/media/<username>/<foldername>
[13:01] <typeVoid> You would need to create the folder
[13:01] <mnaya> hello! I have a peculiar problem loading (or downloading from) the nvidia developer site using either chrome or firefox on Ubuntu 17.04. I know its not a network issue since I can access the websites on windows. What should I look to check / fix?
[13:02] <mnaya> also, most other sites can open fine
[13:02] <typeVoid> what happens when you try to download the file(s)?
[13:03] <mnaya> @typevoid: wget isn't working if I try to download the cuda drivers.
[13:03] <typeVoid> What's the error?
[13:04] <mnaya> the standard "this site cannot be reached"
[13:05] <mnaya> it looks like chrome & firefox are waiting for a response from the server
[13:05] <mnaya> However, I can load the pages fine on a windows machine
[13:05] <mnaya> in firefox, it seems to be waiting for the tld handshake..
[13:05] <mnaya> *tls
[13:06] <typeVoid> try using curl, what's the output of that?
[13:06] <mnaya> one sec..
[13:07] <lostman> hi folks. I'm trying to do do-release-upgrade -d on 16.04 and I'm getting "ERROR:root:parse failed for '/var/lib/update-manager/meta-release-lts-development'"
[13:07] <lostman> any idea how to fix this?
[13:09] <mnaya> @typevoid :: in the terminal, when I just type in "curl https://developer.nvidia.com", I get no output..
[13:09] <mnaya> as in, curl isn't printing anything to the terminal..
[13:09] <typeVoid> Every other site is working?
[13:09] <mnaya> yep
[13:10] <mnaya> for instance, I'm using the freenode website's web-irc to chat here
[13:10] <mnaya> and can access pretty much any other site without an issue
[13:11] <typeVoid> I really can't help you here but in your terminal type `ncat developer.nvidia.com 80` then type `get /` press enter
[13:11] <mnaya> haven't been able to figure out how to even being understanding what the issue here is.. btw, wget also fails if I try to download anything from the server using wget
[13:12] <mnaya> so, curl threw up an error that said "curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to developer.nvidia.com:443"
[13:12] <toothfairy_> I\m trying to compile Dovecot with solr support .. Doing the following: apt-get source dovecot, cd dovecot-2.2.31, sudo apt-get build-dep package ... But then I receive an E: Unable to find a source package for package error, any ideas?
[13:13] <typeVoid> mnaya: were you able to get a response through ncat?
[13:15] <mnaya> @typevoid : installing nmap now..
[13:15] <typeVoid> nmap?
[13:16] <warri0rr> Hello, is it possible to redirect stderr from a process into another process? For example process | pastebinit <-- only stderr
[13:16] <kristhian> question what is the candidate for this installs in ubuntu 16.04 xenial
[13:16] <kristhian> sudo apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-gd
[13:17] <typeVoid> warri0rr: try sending stdout to /dev/null and sending stderr to stdout
[13:17] <warri0rr> typeVoid: Ok, how do I do that?
[13:18] <mnaya> @typevoid : I'm not getting any output to the ncat command...
[13:18] <warri0rr> man pipe
[13:18] <warri0rr> ups
[13:19] <EriC^^> warri0rr: program >/dev/null |& pastebinit maybe?
[13:19] <Maynard420> typeVoid: how do I make a folder while in live mode?
[13:19] <warri0rr> that first > redirects everything
[13:20] <EriC^^> warri0rr: or just program 2>&1 | pastebinit
[13:20] <EriC^^> warri0rr: no, the |& of the pipe should let stderr over too
[13:20] <mnaya> @typevoid: the nact output says, no command 'get' found
[13:21] <EriC^^> warri0rr: hmm i think you're right
[13:24] <mnaya> so if I look at the curl verbose options, it seems like it is getting stuck at the tls authentication step ("client hello")
[13:29] <Maynard420> typeVoid
[13:29] <Maynard420> ?
[13:36] <typeVoid> Mnaya: I think you used nay wrong, type 'ncat developer.nvidia.com 80'
[13:36] <typeVoid> Inside that process type 'get /'
[13:36] <typeVoid> Then press enter
[13:37] <typeVoid> This is to check that you are able to connect and get a response from the server
[13:37] <mnaya> thanks @typevoid ! :). I did that using the -v option. I am able to connect to the server, but am not getting a response. When I look at the curl -v output, it seems like its a TLS issue
[13:39] <typeVoid> I see, I tested earlier and I could connect, I'm  not completely sure what's wrong on your system
[13:40] <typeVoid> Maynard420: did the mount command not work?
[13:40] <mnaya> @typevoid : thanks for trying! :)
[13:43] <Maynard420> yeah I just need to make the folder is all
[13:43] <Maynard420> @typeVoid
[13:43] <Maynard420> that's where I get hung up.
[13:44] <typeVoid> So, you're unable to create the folder?
[13:45] <Maynard420> I can do mount /dev/sdb1/media/**** and I get back /media not found
[13:45] <typeVoid> There's a space after sdb1
[13:45] <Maynard420> I have never made a folder actually
[13:45] <Maynard420> oh.
[13:47] <Maynard420> says only root can do that... but.... in alive session IAM root, no?
[13:47] <typeVoid> have you created your /media/blahblahblah directory?
[13:48] <marvin42> Hi guys! So yesterday I installed xserver-xorg-video-noveau package and after booting I'd just have a blank screen. I then proceed to remove said package and install nvidea-current which made the logo appear after boot and also the login window. Alas, it was all frozenm, the mouse, the keyboard, etc. I was unalbe to ctrl alt f1. now I've installed the 340 driver and get the blank screen again. I'm using a live session and chroot to
[13:48] <marvin42> accesso the HD installation. Help!
[13:48] <typeVoid> sudo mkdir /media/<uname>/foldername
[13:49] <Maynard420> user nam eis I assume the ubuntu-studio@ubuntu-studio?
[13:49] <Maynard420> and then just make up a foldername?
[13:50] <typeVoid> you make up the folder name, but for me it's /media/sam and in my terminal it shows up as sam@SamBuntu Sambuntu is my hostname
[13:53] <Maynard420> hm.......still says only root can do it
[13:53] <typeVoid> `sudo mkdir`?
[13:58] <nosyguy> people, i need some help
[13:58] <Maynard420> OK it is ready to reboot.  Installed but I feel like I should know how to make a directory regardless.
[13:58] <nosyguy> is this channel active?
[13:59] <Maynard420> nosyguy it is
[14:00] <typeVoid> Maynard420: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25154209/
[14:00] <typeVoid> `mkdir /home/folder` creates a folder in the home directory called 'folder'
[14:01] <typeVoid> also, there's a manual entry for `mkdir`
[14:01] <nosyguy> Maynard420: I installed kali and there is no option for wifi, the same happened when I was installing ubuntu and I remember using some .deb files present in the live pendrive of the iso
[14:02] <nosyguy> i am not able to use the internet
[14:02] <typeVoid> have you disabled secureboot?
[14:03] <Maynard420> typeVoid thanks for your patience and the extra info... gonna reboot.  Wish me luck!
[14:04] <Superola> I have a problem, I need the port 8125 to be routed to localhost. or something xD
[14:05] <typeVoid> what do you want to do?
[14:05] <Superola> Im not behind a router, and i need the port to be open from the worldwide.
[14:05] <typeVoid> You want to port forward?
[14:05] <Superola> yeah :S
[14:05] <Superola> right now the port only works local, i need it to be open to the internet
[14:06] <typeVoid> First I suggest you understand a bit more about networking as 'route port 8125 to localhost' is not really what's happening
[14:06] <typeVoid> although that's not entirely necessary
[14:07] <nosyguy> anyone can help please?
[14:07] <Superola> I do understad it xD I do not understand why that port is closed tho ^^
[14:07] <typeVoid> Suerola: You can search on the internet how to portforward your router, usually you need to find the IP of your router
[14:07] <typeVoid> nosyguy: have you disabled secureboot?
[14:08] <Superola> not using a router xD
[14:08] <Superola> it a dedicated server im renting. trying to set it up ^^
[14:08] <Superola> ehm hard to explain this haha
[14:09] <typeVoid> It varies, usually all ports are open, maybe there's an option on your VPS provider? There may possibly be a firewall rule preventing remote connections to your port
[14:09] <Superola> ehm
[14:11] <Superola> i have not configured any ports, it does it automaticly somehow. dont realy know how linux works here. ehm Its a gameserver installed on it, and all the ports that i need opends automaticly. I have a plugin to this gameserver, that uses port 8125 but somehow that just open it for local
[14:11] <[n0mad]> Superola: is this server ubuntu?
[14:12] <Superola> yes
[14:12] <[n0mad]> is it running a firewall?
[14:12] <Superola> i did try to fix this with ufw but it didnt work so i disabled it. now im trying to do something with iptables xD
[14:14] <[n0mad]> well, iptables is pretty complex as compared to ufw, at least to me
[14:14] <[n0mad]> i use ufw on my server
[14:14] <Superola> tbh i have no clue how to use this xD im very new to it all
[14:15] <[n0mad]> then you can ufw allow port
[14:15] <Superola> i did . sudo ufw allow 8125   still closed :S
[14:16] <[n0mad]> then either something with your app isn't working like you think it is or something outside of the server is blocking the port
[14:16] <Superola> it works on my server on this windows laptop at home.
[14:17] <Superola> someone said that this resault is the problem. didnt get it.
[14:17] <Superola> https://pastebin.com/X5ynP0Vi
[14:19] <[n0mad]> i'm not really sure what would be a problem there unless it's that it's ipv6 instead of ipv4
[14:20] <Superola> no clue :S
[14:21] <[n0mad]> me either. i don't know a lot about networking still
[14:22] <Superola> =D its hard to help someone who dont understand a thing lol
[14:47] <Maynard420> Hellooooo.

[15:10] <marvin42> how can I access a faulty installation using the command line? ctrl alt f1 doesn't work
[15:10] <ioria> recovery
[15:10] <leftyfb> marvin42: define faulty installation
[15:11] <marvin42> leftyfb, yesterday I installed the noveau driver and that froze the xserver. I uninstalled it via chroot and tried to install the nvidia-current driver. that driver would show the splash screen but everything was frozen, mouse, keyboard, etc
[15:12] <marvin42> ioria, I'm unable to reach the network from recovery command line
[15:12] <ioria> marvin42, you installed nouveau ?
[15:12] <marvin42> ioria, I've enabled network and echoed the nameserver but no cigara
[15:12] <marvin42> ioria, yes, that was what caused all this mess
[15:13] <ioria> marvin42,  btw, using  wifi or cable ?
[15:14] <ioria> marvin42,  you can also use a livecd ...
[15:15] <marvin42> ioria, I'm currently on a Live CD in the same computer
[15:15] <marvin42> ioria, I'm able to access the faulty installation via chroot, with network
[15:16] <ioria> marvin42,  dpkg -l | grep nvidia
[15:16] <marvin42> ioria, I haven't tried using the cable in recovery mode
[15:17] <marvin42> ioria, https://pastebin.com/ewm6PBEv
[15:17] <ioria> marvin42,  dpkg -l | grep nouveau
[15:19] <marvin42> ioria, ii  libdrm-nouveau2:i386                2.4.76-1                                  i386         Userspace interface to nouveau-specific kernel DRM services -- runtime
[15:19] <ioria> marvin42,  that's all ?
[15:20] <marvin42> ioria, yes
[15:20] <ioria> marvin42,  so you removed nvidia and removed nouveau ....
[15:20] <ioria> marvin42,  what version of ubuntu ? xenial ?
[15:21] <marvin42> ioria, first I removed noveau and installed nvidia-current. that made the logo and afterwards the login window, wallpaper et. al, appear
[15:21] <ioria> marvin42,  what version of ubuntu ? xenial ?
[15:21] <marvin42> ioria, but it was all frozen. lubuntu 17.04
[15:22] <ioria> marvin42,  ok, can you paste   sudo lshw -C video ?
[15:24] <marvin42> ioria, then I uninstalled nvidea-current and installed nvidea-340 -> that made things worse, just got a blank screen. since then I'm trying to install reinstall different versions of the driver but that-s not working. Apt (inside the recovery command line) is giving the following error : 'apt had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back' and the affected packages
[15:24] <ioria> marvin42,  ok, can you paste   sudo lshw -C video ?
[15:25] <marvin42> ioria, it doesn-t produce any output
[15:25] <marvin42> I did sudo lshw -C video > file.txt and it's empty
[15:26] <ioria> marvin42,  lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D'
[15:28] <marvin42> ioria, bear in mind that these commands are being performed via chroot in a Live 16.40 session : https://pastebin.com/UHRfVxFX
[15:29] <marvin42> ioria, shall I instead boot in recovery mode and perform these commands?
[15:29] <ioria> marvin42,  ok, i'd purge nvidia*  and reinstall nouveau (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau)
[15:29] <ioria> marvin42,  unless it removed  something else ....
[15:30] <marvin42> ioria, but is it better to perform the purge under the live session or shall I boot in recovery mode and do it there?
[15:31] <ioria> marvin42,  if you correctly chrooted, you can do it from there
[15:31] <marvin42> ioria, what nvidia package shall I purge?
[15:31] <ioria> marvin42,   sudo apt purge nvidia*
[15:32] <marvin42> ioria, 'Package 'nvidia' is not installed, so not removed'
[15:32] <marvin42> oh,sorry the wildcard
[15:32] <ioria> marvin42,   yep
[15:33] <LostandNoob> Hello.  I am looking for some help making a bootable usb from a mac running 10.12.5.  I maybe am using bad search terms, but I keep finding old, outdated instructions... at this point, I would like to use dd but I am noob as hell and I am not sure it would work.
[15:33] <LostandNoob> I do have a running Elementary OS system I planned on turning into an Lubuntu laptop (she's old- 2011)
[15:33] <LostandNoob> I tried unetbootin' but it failed
[15:36] <LostandNoob> I am at a loss... please help??
[15:36] <kDycu> Hello! Is there maybe a list of USB soundcards that are known to work well with Ubuntu? I don't have any special requirements other than it works out of the box
[15:37] <kDycu> (or with minimal assistance ;p)
[15:39] <marvin42> ioria, I'm able to connect to google.com but unable to connect to pt.archive.ubuntu.com
[15:40] <ioria> marvin42,   i guess  you did not correctly chrooted
[15:41] <marvin42> I did mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; echo 'nameserver 8.8.4.4' > resolv.conf
[15:42] <ioria> marvin42,  and you did not mount the critical fs ?
[15:42] <leftyfb> marvin42: try us.archive.ubuntu.com. Maybe it's an issue with the repo/domain and not your system
[15:42] <marvin42> ioria, nope. I've learned how to chroot just yesterday
[15:43] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[15:43] <marvin42> leftyfb, yeah, I can talk to us.archive.ubuntu.com
[15:43] <ioria> marvin42, you need bind mounted  /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run
[15:43] <leftyfb> marvin42: sounds like it's a problem with the repo and not you
[15:43] <leftyfb> or maybe your isp
[15:43] <marvin42> ioria, how can I accomplish that?
[15:43] <leftyfb> just use us. or some other repo
[15:44] <marvin42> leftyfb, how can I invoque the us. repos from apt?
[15:44] <leftyfb> edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change it
[15:44] <leftyfb> then update/upgrade
[15:44] <ioria> marvin42, you mount sda1 in mnt, for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done, then chroot /mnt
[15:45] <leftyfb> marvin42: as for a proper chroot, for in sys proc dev dev/pts; do sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i;done
[15:45] <leftyfb> ioria: you missed a /
[15:45] <leftyfb> oh, maybe not
[15:45] <ioria> oh, yess ?
[15:46] <leftyfb> though pts and run aren't really all that important when chrooting for repair
[15:49] <marvin42> leftyfb, to chroot after 'sudo mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i'  I just have to do 'chroot /mnt /bin/bash' , right?
[15:55] <Maynard420> I'm trying to change permissions on my usb. I have tried sudo chown -R user:user /media/Backup.  It said it was busy. un mount....tried again. Acted like worked as in no errors came up just the next line in terminal.  Permissions are still the same and in properties under owner it says 999
[15:55] <Maynard420> Any suggestions?
[15:56] <Maynard420> I've already tried tons of forums, hence why I'm here.
[15:58] <th0r> Maynard420, what format is the usb drive? you can't change permissions on a windows format drive. Also, I don't think you can change permissions on a mount point
[15:58] <akik> Maynard420: if you umount it, you just chown the mount point
[15:58] <marvin42> leftyfb, weird, after chrooting like you said to, apt upgrade needs to install 250MB worth of packages
[15:59] <Maynard420> ext4
[15:59] <th0r> Maynard420, you want to then mount it with options uid and maybe gid as well
[16:00] <Maynard420> I thought I had mountpoint right.  How do I see it?  Sorry rpetend I know nothing
[16:01] <Maynard420> uid and gid .... no clue what that even is.
[16:01] <th0r> Maynard420, those are options you use with the mount command. If this is a drive you want to mount to the same place, with the same permissions, every time you might want to create an entry in fstab for it
[16:04] <Maynard420> ermmmmm... how do I see the mount point?
[16:04] <Maynard420> what's the command
[16:04] <Maynard420> ?
[16:05] <th0r> Maynard420, you haven't given us anything to work with. All we know so far is you can't change the permissions on a mounted drive
[16:05] <cristian_c> Hi
[16:05] <Maynard420> I'm trying to change permissions on my usb. I have tried sudo chown -R user:user /media/Backup.  It said it was busy. un mount....tried again. Acted like worked as in no errors came up just the next line in terminal.
[16:06] <Maynard420> I'm trying to change permissions on my usb. I have tried sudo chown -R user:user /media/Backup.  It said it was busy. un mount....tried again. Acted like worked as in no errors came up just the next line in terminal.  Permissions are still the same and in properties under owner it says 999
[16:06] <dreamcat4> Maynard420: if the partition you are working in is not formatted un a unix filesystem, its not gonna have unix permissions. for example fat32
[16:06] <dreamcat4> or ntfs
[16:06] <cristian_c> 17.04, yesterday backlight control worked, I've thought it could be dependent on kernel version change, but today I've loaded the old kernel again and unfortunstely backlight control still doesn0t work
[16:07] <Maynard420> ext4
[16:07] <cristian_c> it looks like an issue not dependent on the kernel
[16:07] <cristian_c> How could I investigate?
[16:07] <cristian_c> Any ideas
[16:07] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[16:07] <dreamcat4> Maynard420: is the usb device based on nand flash?
[16:08] <dreamcat4> then you can try running FakeFlashTest to see if its buggered.
[16:08] <Maynard420> My flash is fine.  nand?
[16:09] <dreamcat4> jesus christ man
[16:09] <dreamcat4> all flash is nand
[16:09] <dreamcat4> its the same thing you idiot
[16:10] <pavlos> Maynard420: can you pastebin, ls -l /media/backup
[16:10] <pavlos> Maynard420: can you pastebin, ls -l /media
[16:10] <dreamcat4> you can also dmesg -w while trying to change permissions
[16:11] <dreamcat4> if there are any filesystem errors, they might appear there
[16:11] <dreamcat4> (dmesg -w in a 2nd terminal window)
[16:13] <Maynard420> sdrwxr-xr-x  2 james james 4096 Jul 23 09:46 Backup
[16:13] <Maynard420> drwxr-x---+ 3 root  root  4096 Jul 23 08:23 james
[16:16] <marvin42> leftyfb: hello again! I'm at the command line in the faulty operation system using irssi to connect
[16:17] <marvin42> leftyfb: I'm now able to access my home folder (which is encrypted). How can I copy all the files recursively in folder X to a pendrive already up in /mnt?
[16:17] <Maynard420> dreamcat4: Sooooooo that's the output above
[16:25] <akik> Maynard420: now that you have mounted it and you're logged in as james, you can't access it?
[16:25] <akik> Maynard420: you need to have it mounted to use chown
[16:27] <Maynard420> it's mounted...... no one has told me yet how to get the mount point to be shown on my screen in terminal yet.
[16:27] <Maynard420> blahblah | grep or somesuch I think it was.
[16:28] <Maynard420> but I have to KNOW my mount point first off.
[16:29] <akik> Maynard420: you said it's /media/Backup
[16:29] <th0r> marvin42, cp -R should do it
[16:30] <dreamcat4> df -h
[16:30] <marvin42> th0r: from inside the wanted folder 'cp -R /mnt' ?
[16:31] <dreamcat4> then mount | grep <mountpoint_from_last_cmd>
[16:31] <th0r> marvin42, you always need both source and destination with cp. cp -R /source /destination. And having, or not having, a trailing slash can make a difference. Read up on the cp command (man cp)
[16:32] <Maynard420> there's the MAGIC 5 letters I was missing I do believe.
[16:33] <Maynard420> mount | grep media/Backup  and nope didn't change anything in permissions.
[16:35] <marvin42> th0r: how do I remove folders?
[16:36] <th0r> marvin42, rmdir
[16:37] <Maynard420> I get this output /media/james/Backup type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks2)
[16:39] <Maynard420> mount | grep media/Backup /media/$USER/Backup
[16:39] <marvin42> th0r: thanks a lot, I'm new to the command line and am trying to fix a broken xserver, I can only access the command line. How can I perform ls and make it stop page per page (to be able to see contents in folders with a large number of files)?
[16:40] <pavlos> ls | less
[16:40] <th0r> marvin42, ls | less
[16:43] <vimart> Hi
[16:44] <akik> Maynard420: so did you manage to chown /media/james/Backup ?
[16:47] <Maynard420> sudo chown -R james:james /media/Backup no errors popped up it went to the next line.... still no permissions change
[16:48] <Maynard420> under properties > Owner it says 999  It SHOULD say my user name right?
[16:50] <th0r> Maynard420, what does 'ls -l /media/james' say?
[16:51] <Maynard420> drwxr-xr-x 13 999 root 4096 Jul 23 04:44 Backup
[16:52] <skyroveRR> Hey guys, is it typical for sshd within ubuntu server 16.04.2 to be disabled after an upgrade is run using apt-get upgrade? I saw openssh-server being upgraded along with some kernel package, and I was suggested that I should reboot the system. The system is actually a VPS instance, and I no longer can access it over SSH, am getting instant connection refused. :)
[16:52] <leftyfb> skyroveRR: not likely
[16:52] <th0r> Maynard420, did you create the folder Backup?
[16:53] <akik> Maynard420: your mount point is not /media/Backup but /media/james/Backup right?
[16:53] <Maynard420> Isn't that what the above ouput means?
[16:53] <akik> Maynard420: so trying to change /media/Backup permissions doesn't make sense
[16:53] <skyroveRR> leftyfb: well, strange. I can ping the host, the firewall is wide open in that VPS instance, so maybe my guess is I perhaps forgot to set it to "enable" via systemctl :)
[16:53] <leftyfb> skyroveRR: possibly
[16:54] <vimart> I'd like to play some good strategy game, RTS for example. Any reccomendations?
[16:56] <skyroveRR> vimart: Steam.
[16:56] <skyroveRR> It works on linux. In case you've never heard of it.
[16:56] <skyroveRR> As for offline games, 0ad and warzone2100 are the good ones, vimart
[16:57] <Maynard420> chown: cannot access ‘james/media/Backup’: No such file or directory
[16:57] <Maynard420> chown: changing ownership of ‘/dev/sdb1’: Operation not permitted
[16:57] <Maynard420> chown: cannot access ‘ugo+rwx’: No such file or directory
[16:57] <akik> Maynard420: you skipped the / in /media
[16:57] <akik> Maynard420: it's /media/james/Backup
[16:59] <dudeji> is there is any GUI to add cyberroam vpn in ubuntu ?
[17:00] <dudeji> my terminal its dead easy but i am not able to access other url-based-websites other than vpn stuff , while IP based hits work
[17:00] <vimart> skyroveRR: I've heard about Steam but do not want to go through registrations etc again. I've forgot account and passwd I created long time ago. Anyway most good games is paid
[17:01] <skyroveRR> vimart: right. Well, you can consider trying out the ones I suggested.. I've played them personally, and have been quite impressed.
[17:01] <vimart> skyroveRR: warzone2100 I remember, played it years ago. I'll have a look at 0ad, looks good.
[17:01] <Maynard420> akik huh?
[17:02] <Maynard420> 0/o
[17:02] <skyroveRR> vimart: you can also simply install "wine" and get your favourite windows games running on your box.
[17:02] <vimart> I've to kill depression
[17:02] <akik> Maynard420: your mount point is /media/james/Backup, not james/media/Backup
[17:03] <Maynard420> chown /media/james/Backup /dev/sdb1 ugo
[17:03] <Maynard420> chown: invalid user: ‘/media/james/Backup’
[17:03] <vimart> skyroveRR: to be honest I don't have any Windows games. I used Windows 20 years ago :-)
[17:03] <Maynard420> I tried that after I noticed.
[17:04] <akik> Maynard420: you have the options in wrong order
[17:04] <vimart> 25 years ago to be specific
[17:04] <akik> Maynard420: it's "sudo chown -R james /media/james/Backup"
[17:04] <skyroveRR> Maynard420: "sudo chown -R james:users /media/james/Backup"
[17:04] <Maynard420> would you type it ous it SHOULD be perhaps?
[17:07] <Maynard420> That sudo chown -R james:users /media/james/Backup was it. THX
[17:08] <Maynard420> And FUCK me running that ook forever to get one tiny line lol
[17:12] <marvin42> leftyfb: I have done as you said. I've purged nvidea* and installed the xserver-xorg-video-noveau. It still gives me a blank screen after boot.
[17:15] <vimart> skyroveRR: 0ad is good so far. Thanks mate
[17:21] <marvin42> how can I find which graphical driver is installed?
[17:30] <amosbird> hi, is there a tool for creating presentation slides using one big image?

[17:58] <lotuspsychje> konrados_: ubuntu version?

[18:05] <[n0mad]> sure there is
[18:05] <[n0mad]> get out of firefox
[18:05] <[n0mad]> and go to settings > printers
[18:05] <[n0mad]> if you don't have printers in settings then i don't know how you installed ubuntu
[18:07] <konrados_> [n0mad]: I'm not THAT stupid, thing is when I enter ubuntu settings there is no printer options
[18:07] <konrados_> [n0mad] - give me a sec
[18:07] <[n0mad]> no clue then. i've had it on every ubuntu install i've done
 no, please help me... or.. anybody...
[18:08] <konrados_> :(
[18:08] <konrados_> please

[18:10] <[n0mad]> why ya asking me? i'm not the one with the issue.
[18:11] <c2tarun> Hey all, I recently moved from Mac to ubuntu. So far I like it. However, mouse movement in Ubuntu is not as smooth as in Mac. Is there any way I can make mouse movement as smooth as mac?
[18:12] <konrados__> Sorry, get disconnected, did someone answer my question?
[18:14] <[n0mad]> konrados__: you could see if system-config-printer-gnome is installed
[18:25] <bendestag>  I've got to install Windows 7 on a ubuntu machine, and I don't have a USB stick right now, so I'm using a hard disk partition to boot the extracted contents of the Windows ISO
[18:26] <bendestag> Under Windows, I managed to get around this by using diskmgr to make the partition primary, and then using bootsect.exe to write the Windows 7 bootsector to disk
[18:28] <bendestag> I've no idea how wine names my hard disk partitions so I don't think I can use bootsect under Ubuntu, can I?
[18:28] <bendestag> (this is an external HDD)
[18:55] <martian67> trying to unlock a session in xubuntu from the commandline
[18:55] <martian67> 16.04
[18:55] <martian67> loginctl unlock-sessions dosent work
[18:55] <martian67> anybody got any ideas?
[18:55] <martian67> (it stays locked)
[19:02] <lotuspsychje> martian67: did you add your session ID?
[19:03] <martian67> that would be unlock-session (no s) and that didnt work either no lotuspsychje
[19:03] <lotuspsychje> martian67: like this? loginctl unlock-session [id]
[19:04] <ioria> martian67, what lotuspsychje suggested should work -- get the ID from loginctl list-sessions
[19:04] <martian67> it dosent work
[19:04] <martian67> session remain locks
[19:04] <martian67> *locked
[19:05] <ioria> martian67, are you issuing the command from tty ?
[19:05] <martian67> im issuing it from ssh
[19:06] <martian67> works from tty
[19:06] <martian67> interesting
[19:07] <martian67> any specific recommendations here ioria ?
[19:07] <martian67> (the ssh session does not give errors)
[19:08] <martian67> return code is 0
[19:09] <ioria> martian67, it works here with ssh ... but the ID is different 'c2'
[19:09] <martian67> it works here on tty session is c1
[19:09] <martian67> it does not work over ssh
[19:09] <ioria> martian67, wrong ID ?
[19:10] <martian67> id is correct
[19:10] <martian67> i type exactly the same thing in tty
[19:10] <martian67> wait no hmm
[19:11] <martian67> dosent seem reliable over tty either... only sometimes
[19:11] <martian67> WTF
[19:11] <martian67> i have update pending gonna reboot
[19:11] <martian67> might be cause of weirdness
[19:15] <martian67> still dosent work ioria
[19:15] <ioria> martian67, what ID are you using ?
[19:18] <martian67> ioria, c1
[19:18] <ioria> martian67, try c2
[19:18] <martian67> which is the right id according to list-sessions
[19:18] <martian67> c2 dosent work either, already tried that
[19:19] <ioria> martian67,  and no error output ?
[19:19] <martian67> no error output echo $# is 0 too
[19:20] <ioria> martian67,  using sudo , right ?
[19:20] <martian67> just loginctl unlock-session dosent require sudo
[19:20] <martian67> but it dosent work with sudo either
[19:22] <martian67> (this works fine in arch btw)
[19:22] <ioria> martian67,  in unity too
[19:22] <martian67> just so like we know the command isnt broken somehow
[19:22] <martian67> yep just does nothing in xubuntu
[19:23] <martian67> except on tty....
[19:23] <martian67> where it sometimes works
[19:24] <transhuman> pacmanfan you around?
[19:24] <martian67> ioria, interestingly "lock-session" works
[19:24] <martian67> :)
[19:25] <martian67> that is, it will lock the screen, but i cannot then run "unlock-session"
[19:25] <ioria> martian67,  oh good
[19:26] <ioria> martian67,  wait, what 'locking ' tool are you using ?
[19:28] <martian67> ioria, locking with the menu
[19:28] <martian67> but locking with loginctl lock-session or menu
[19:28] <martian67> same result
[19:28] <martian67> cant unlock
[19:29] <ioria> martian67, DISPLAY=:0 gnome-screensaver-command -d
[19:30] <martian67> ioria, no dice
[19:31] <martian67> gnome-screensaver isnt even installed
[19:31] <martian67> (this is xubuntu)
[19:31] <martian67> (still uses lightdm though)
[19:31] <ioria> martian67, ha, ok ... looks like you need to unlock in the same (reverse) way you  locked
[19:32] <martian67> doing it the reverse way dosent help
[19:32] <martian67> if i lock with loginctl lock-screen
[19:32] <martian67> err
[19:32] <martian67> if i lock with loginctl lock-session
[19:32] <martian67> it does not unlock with loginctl unlock-session
[19:33] <white_magic> anyone know how i could adjust the mousewheel scroll rate in ubuntu? i have a logitech wireless mouse - m705
[19:35] <ioria> martian67, ok, try again  sudo loginctl  lock-session c1
[19:35] <ioria> martian67 and   sudo loginctl  unlock-session c1
[19:35] <martian67> ah interesting ioria
[19:35] <martian67> if i unlock before the "This session is locked" screen goes away
[19:35] <martian67> it will unlock
[19:36] <ioria> oh
[19:36] <martian67> but if i wait for lightdm to come back
[19:36] <martian67> it will not unlock
[19:36] <martian67> clearly some kind of bug going on
[19:36] <ioria> yeah
[19:37] <martian67> I guess ill file a bug report ugh, this is really annoying for my setup
[19:38] <fuzzyhorns> is there a way to make notify-send notifications box bigger?
[19:38] <ioria> martian67  another try is to ssh -Y

[20:40] <marahin> Hello! I'm running on Ubuntu 17.04. I installed golang-1.8-go package, but `go` isn't available in my terminal. What am I doing wrong?
[20:47] <fyber> I'm getting `platform_font_linux.cc(63)] Check failed: typeface. Could not find any font: Ubuntu, sans` when I try to run one of the snaps I'm making. Is there a package I can add as a dependency that has that font?

[20:55] <_BIGSHOT_> i want to make ubuntu as 24/7 media streaming server what type of ubuntu will be best? i want to install "Universal media server" on it... is there any other better option?
[20:55] <ghostbroker> _BIGSHOT_: you could use plex media server. any flavor of ubuntu should work
[20:56] <_BIGSHOT_> ghostbroker, why in particular plex and not Universal Media Server?
[20:56] <_BIGSHOT_> http://www.universalmediaserver.com/comparison/ <-- look at this... now tell me why still plex is what you suggest?
[20:56] <marahin> Jordan_U, forget my issue; I downloaded the tarball, extracted contents to /opt/go and just linked /opt/go/bin/* to /usr/local/bin. Stuff works now.
[20:57] <_BIGSHOT_> ghostbroker, which flavor of ubuntu? desktop or server flavor? what will make media streaming "SNAPPY"?
[20:59] <_BIGSHOT_> ghostbroker, you there dawg
[20:59] <ghostbroker> _bigshot_, if universal media server does what you want, use that. use the a headless server version if you dont need the desktop environment
[20:59] <_BIGSHOT_> i want desktop environment
[21:01] <_BIGSHOT_> ghostbroker, where can i get ubuntu server with desktop environment?
[21:03] <_BIGSHOT_> yo dawg ghostbroker where to get server with head?
[21:03] <th0r> go ahead ghostbroker, we are all waiting for this one
[21:04] <_BIGSHOT_> th0r, i know i can do "apt-get install gnome-desktop"
[21:04] <_BIGSHOT_> but i want pre installed
[21:04] <[n0mad]> then you install desktop
[21:05] <_BIGSHOT_> which desktop do you recommend for servers ?
[21:05] <_BIGSHOT_> xfce?
[21:06] <[n0mad]> i just run ubuntu gnome 16.04 on my plex "server"
[21:07] <_BIGSHOT_> [n0mad], why don't you use "universal media server"?
[21:07] <[n0mad]> because i use plex and plex serves all my needs?
[21:07] <_BIGSHOT_> ahha all your pawn needs
[21:07] <[n0mad]> never even heard of universal media server until you came in here
[21:08] <_BIGSHOT_> good now you heard remove plex install UMS
[21:08] <[n0mad]> nah, i'm good
[21:08] <_BIGSHOT_> good luck & have fun

[21:15] <Mathuin> I have an Ubuntu xenial system which had a monitor connected to the video card's mini HDMI port.  I had to move it to another monitor connected via HDMI.  When I power up the system, I can ssh into it but nothing (not even BIOS splash) comes up on the monitor.  How can I fix it?
[21:18] <Whiskey> a stupid question
[21:19] <Whiskey> is it possible to take snapshot of your current linux, and make like an installation file of it easy?
[21:19] <Whiskey> Like when you install ubuntu but the stuff you added are included in the install?
[21:43] <minimec> Whiskey: I would rather do it the following way... https://askubuntu.com/a/137991
[22:17] <Loshki> Whiskey: you can make a backup of your system that will you enable to restore it from bare metal to the moment the backup was made. See e.g. clonezilla
[22:21] <energizer> I just had a power outage, now when I turn on my computer it says "Reboot  and select proper boot device" regardless of which drive I pick in the drive selection menu.
[22:21] <energizer> What do I do?
[22:25] <Aginor> energizer: It sounds like you've either got data corruption or a hardware fault
[22:25] <Aginor> energizer: neither is a very good option
[22:25] <energizer> Aginor: the boot media's an ssd
[22:26] <Aginor> energizer: ok

[23:39] <BandMan193> How do you do the check sum using MS Windows?
[23:40] <BandMan193> I am trying to install ubuntu and don't know how to do the check sum using windows
[23:42] <[n0mad]> i'd guess you'd need an md5sum program installed
[23:42] <tomreyn> !md5
[23:44] <tomreyn> https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck/releases should work, too
[23:46] <GanymedeSummer> I have a conceptual question... has anyone here had success running Microsoft Excel via WINE?
[23:47] <BandMan193> I followed the instructions to download both "SHA1SUMS.txt" and SHA1SUMS.pgp
