t3kg33kGreetings all00:02
t3kg33kI'm looking for a php expert. I've install php 5.6 on Ubuntu 16.04. Is there a way to confirm if mbregex is enabled? And, if it is not, how do I enable it?00:03
transhumanhi! is pacmanfan around?00:10
Bashing-omtranshuman: Enter into your client pacman<tab> ; if it autocompletes, yes the party is on-line - else not .00:13
transhumanactually I figured he might have changed his handle00:17
iCherryt3kg33k, make sure you have installed the mbsting module (i believe mbregex is part of it), $ sudo apt-get install php-mbstring00:18
transhumanperhaps it might now be pacbard00:18
t3kg33kiCherry I did install that module. So, mbregex is enabled by default when that module is installed?00:19
iCherryt3kg33k, are you running this within a webserver like apache, or cli?00:19
t3kg33kyes, apache00:19
iCherrydid you also install the apache php lib?00:20
iCherry$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php00:21
t3kg33kI don't think so. I installed apache, then installed php 5.6 with modules00:21
iCherrylibapache2-mod-php has the mbstring module built in00:22
t3kg33kit looks as if I did install it00:22
iCherryyou can test if php works by doing the following:00:23
t3kg33kiCherry, thanks a lot00:23
iCherryecho "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > /var/www/html/index.php00:23
t3kg33kI created a phpinfo file and it shows all the information00:23
t3kg33kyep00:23
iCherrythat is the default document root for apache00:23
t3kg33kI see the mbstring module, I just couldn't see the mbregex00:24
iCherrymbregex is part of mbstring00:24
iCherryyou could also try this:00:24
iCherry<?php if (extension_loaded('mbstring')) { echo "loaded"; }else{echo "not loaded"} ?>00:25
t3kg33kiCherry From command line? Or, do I just add that to the php info file?00:26
iCherryadd it to a .php file00:26
iCherrythen go to the website and check if it works00:27
t3kg33kiCherry the page does not load from that new file00:30
iCherryoh sorry, my bad, try this:00:31
iCherry<?php if (extension_loaded('mbstring')) { echo "loaded"; }else{echo "not loaded";} ?>00:31
t3kg33kiCherry That worked. Thanks. Output is 'loaded'00:32
iCherryt3kg33k, no problem00:33

aroonievery now and then after 20 min or so; my ubuntu 16.04 laptop drops my bluetooth connection to my headphones and i have to reconnect01:06
arooniis this a known problem/01:06
apnarooni, sounds like a power saving feature is causing it.01:10
eremitahelo I'm having trouble with my wifi. It's a ralink board. Anyone can telme a good wifi board that works fine in ubuntu?01:12
eremitai'm using ubuntu 16.0401:12
apneremita, generally, anything with intel is well supported in Linux. Most of Atheros as well. Here is the support status for different ones: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers01:14
eremitaapn: thanks01:15
arooniapn: way to disable that?01:22
apnarooni, kind of. You will have to find out if it's bluetooth device, or port (like USB for instance) power management that does it. Then you can go to /sys to check power setting (/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:00.0/power for instance) and change it from auto to on.01:28
apnarooni, or you can use a tool like powertop to see if it can see it in tweaks.01:28

nathaniwhat causes this error when restarting a network device: RTNETLINK answers: File exists02:36
kenrinDon't use multiple default gateways02:37
kenrinIf you need to use a secondary gateway use a static route and you won't get that error.  Make sure only one is in the interfaces file02:39

kenrinAh ok,  that is just the most common reason for it.  Possibly the interface can't be stopped when it does the restart for some reason02:43
kenrinIf it detects it already up it will give that error as duplicate02:44

ghostinzshellWhat does Ubuntu do to allow udisksctl to mount block devices without prompting for authentication? I'm trying to replicate the same thing on Debian Stretch.03:45
jerknextdoorUpgraded my Dell XPS 15 from 16.04 to 17.04 over the weekend. After the first restart it goes to a black screen with '/dev/sda1 clean ####/##### blocks'. The OS is started in the background since I can ssh into the box, but something is going on with X or a driver I think. I've tried installing, removing, and every combination of driver possible. I finally gave up this afternoon and upgraded to 17.10 hoping that would get me some03:52
jerknextdoorI can successfully boot to the console, but am unable to `startx`. I'm out of ideas so any advice is appreciated.03:52
senapshi, support for ubuntu 16.10 was ended two night a go, and now i want to upgrade to 17.04. using sudo apt dist-upgrade... it says nothing is there to update! sudo apt do-release-upgrade shows No new release found!03:52
senapswhat should i do now?03:52
jerknextdoorsenaps: `sudo do-release-upgrade -d`03:54
jerknextdoorsenaps: sorry, `sudo do-release-upgrade` no need for the `-d`.03:54
senapsyup that throws a no new release found too :(03:55
jerknextdoorsenaps: open up Software & Updates. Under the `updates` tab select `notify me of new ubunt version:` and set it to `for any new version`. that should do it.03:56
senapsjerknextdoor: i have done that too! its on any new version. it prompted me 2 nights ago for a upgrade but i didn't have a stable connection so i clicked on tell me later! now it's not upgrading or showing the need for upgrade:(03:58
snowkidindif i only wanted to accept incoming ssh connections from other computers within my network and not outside of my router, is there a way I can enforce that on ubuntu?04:23
ghostinzshellsnowkidind: You can try setting the listen address to be your local subnet.04:25
ghostinzshellsnowkidind: Or you can configure the firewall to just allow connections to your machine from your local subnet.04:25

campitorhello everyone04:49
campitorI think I messed up my dns settings, I can't lookup anything04:50
campitorhow can I reset it to default?04:50
campitorneither nslokup nor other internet applications work. nslookup server 8.8.8.8 works04:50
campitoralso server 127.0.0.1 (dnscrypt) works just fine04:50
campitorbut other than that nothing else works out side of nslookup04:51
campitorhelp please04:51
Ben64campitor: well what did you do to cause the problem04:53
MoondhumHello, I did a minimal install on my laptop. My integrated webcam doesn't seem to work. I have installed 'libv4l-0' and here is my demsg https://paste.debian.net/978006/ Also I don't have /dev/video present.04:53

campitornope not working still05:02
campitorhow can i force the whole os to only and only do ns lookup on 127.0.0.1:53 ?05:02
campitorand no where else?05:02
Ben64campitor: you should really try to remember what you did05:03
campitori really only set the dns setting for ethernet connection, nothing else05:04
Ben64so unset that05:05
campitori don't know why the system is persistent on usin 127.0.1.1:53 (Bind if I am not mistkaen) eventhough I am telling it to go for 127.0.0.105:05
Ben64theres no difference between 127.0.1.1 and 127.0.0.105:05
campitorok,, if no diff, why nslookup on server 127.0.1.1 times out, but it answers perfectly on 127.0.0.105:06
campitorit really doesn't work on 127.0.1.1 !!!!05:06
Ben64you're going about this all wrong05:06
campitorhow?05:06
Ben64just unset the dns05:07
campitorclear the settings?05:07
campitorall of them?05:07
Ben64yep05:07
campitorand it will lookup on my 127.0.0.1:53 ? auto?05:07

campitorwhy not?05:18
Ben64ssl05:18
campitorwell, yes, google was just an example, even though stealing ssl certs from some websites is not that hard, to make a copy of them. but this is super easy to copy a site with no ssl05:19
campitoram i right?05:19
campitormost of ubuntu update servers use no ssl05:19
campitorfor obvious reasons05:19
campitorI know there are signatures and certs in place05:20
campitorbut still, if someone has the sigs and the keys, they might give you a faulty update05:20

Mittens007I am trying to start using ubuntu06:43
Mittens007I have a HP laptop and was advised to get a 128gb flash drive and boot the ubuntu from the usb06:44
Mittens007someone mentioned that I would need empty "dvd" disk drives or something along with the usb06:44
Mittens007any idea what they are talking abou?06:44

KingsyCan someone think of a cursor size config I am missing.. I have changed the cursor size in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and in ~/.Xresources where else would I have to change? I am getting a very large cursor in a few different applications.. one QT application for example.10:01
oerheksKingsy, only certain cursos sizes are accepted, see this answer of dobey > "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48" https://askubuntu.com/questions/682641/change-mouse-pointer-size-in-ubuntu-15-0410:05
oerheksif that does not work, check out the theme installed?? those can be nasty too10:05
oerhekse.g. with unity-tweak-tool10:05
Kingsywell I am using openbox10:06
Kingsyoerheks: if I use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 48 it does absolutely nothing..10:06
oerheksmaybe you need to logout/login again to take effect, i have no clue with openbox themes10:08
Kingsyoerheks: I am using lxappearance to set the cursor theme.. and I have tried alot of different ones10:08
Kingsyoerheks: no luck either.10:09
Kingsylet me try one more time10:09
Kingsynaa no good10:11
Kingsyits just so erratic10:11
oerheks:-(10:11
Kingsynow its huge in xfce-terminal10:11
Kingsy(I changed the cursor theme in lxappearance) then logged oput and back in again10:11
oerhekshuge... 48 is huge indeed10:12
Kingsyok adding 16 to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini fixed xfce-terminal and chrome10:14
oerheksoke, you determined the right config.10:15
oerheksfor the user, that is10:16
Kingsywell for xfce-terminal and chrome yes10:16
Kingsybut phpstorm for exampel is still shwoing a big big cursor10:16
Kingsyis there a settings.ini system wide? or another config I don't know about?10:16
oerheksnot in the /home/ folders, that would be in /usr/share/themes/ and /usr/share/icons/10:18
Kingsywell those are the actual theme folders..10:19
Kingsythe index.theme files don't contain anything about cursor size10:20
Durgeoblehi10:20
Kingsythey just style the cursor right?10:20
oerhekshmm yes, no settings there in a file, you would need dconf for that10:23
KingsyI checked dconf10:24
KingsyI couldnt see any settings for cursor size on there at all10:25
Kingsyunless I am being blind10:25
Kingsynothing under unity of course.. given I am not using unity10:26
oerheksthat is where we started with,  org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-size 4810:26
oerheksbut this theme and cursor thing is a mystery to me too10:27
Kingsythe cursor size is set to 16 on dconf.10:27
Kingsythe cursor theme is wrong...10:27
Kingsyok corrected that but know that isnt going to make a differenc.e10:29

vltHello. Around every six or eight weeks our Ubuntu 16.04 LTS xrdp servers stop listening to port 3389 and no more logins are possible while all the old sessions are still running.10:42
vltWhat could cause this?10:43
vltIs there an internal "counter" that overflows after a certain amoutn of logins?10:43
vltAnd how can I "refresh" xrdp without having to destroy all the old sessions?10:43
vltold = currently running10:43
oerheksvlt, in the /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini perhaps,     tcp_keepalive=[true|false] >> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man5/xrdp.ini.5.html10:50
oerheksone should destroy old sessions, they seem to be not-properly-closed10:51
Kingsyswear to god.. hahaha I am going to throw my computer out the windopw :P10:52
tomreynvlt: if there was an internal counter which overflowsand someone here knows about it then it would likely be a known and reported bug in this soiftware, one you could search the web for. you're basically asking whether the unexpected functionality in a specific software is a bug. since you asked this before (i think several times actually?) and no one happened to know about this specific behaviour, it's quiote unlikely you'll rub into someone on10:54
tomreynthis linux distribution channel whoo knows this specific software's source code well enough to tell whether its a bug or intended behaviour.10:54
tomreyn*rub -> run10:54
tomreynin fact i saw you post this question a couple times, people responded (mentioning your nickname) and you went silent.10:55
oerheksif you specify the port static, you would reuse the old rdp session, it says https://askubuntu.com/questions/133343/how-do-i-set-up-xrdp-session-that-reuses-an-existing-session10:55
oerheksah,asking in multiple channel, and forget to read10:56

qswzLxQT is going to be great11:23
oerheksqswz, yes, waiting for 17.10 ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/LXQt11:24
glitsj16Kingsy: what cursor theme are you having trouble with?11:25
Kingsyglitsj16: all of them11:26
qswzyep11:26
Kingsyglitsj16: so the problem is on certain applications sucjh as keepassx or phpstorm the cursor is massive.. i'd say 3 times as big as it is when hovered over regular windows11:27
Kingsythis seems to be regardless of what cursor theme I have set. I am using lxappearance to set the theme (cursor and desktop) and I have openbox as my WM11:28
glitsj16Kingsy: have you specified Xcursor.size in ~/.Xresources?11:29
Kingsyyes I have Xcursor.size: 1611:30
Kingsythats the only thing in that file mind11:30
glitsj16Kingsy: you'd need to put in the theme you use as well in that file, Xcursor.theme:foo11:31
glitsj16Kingsy: use the exact same name you see in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme on the inherits line11:32
Kingsyok done11:34
KingsyI will log out and back ina gain11:34
Kingsyglitsj16: ok I think this is the issue. On lxappearance the cursor theme I have selected is called "moblin" however that is not the cursor theme that is applied.11:35
Kingsyalso the issue still remains. the cursor is huge on certain windows11:36
Kingsyso somehow lxappearance isnt actually changing the cursor theme.11:36
glitsj16Kingsy: what is set in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme? not 'moblin'?11:36
Kingsysurely its not waiting for a cold reboot ?11:36
Kingsyit is yes Inherits=moblin11:37
glitsj16Kingsy: that would be odd, a re-login should do it11:37
Kingsyyeah just did that.11:37
Kingsyits so so strange.11:37
Kingsyits like I have some serious misconfig somewhere.11:37
KingsyI wish I could just scrap it all and return to default somehow.11:37
glitsj16maybe you could, i'm not familiar with lxappearance, no reset to default option?11:38

Kingsylxappearance also doesnt seem to be editing /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme its not changing when I change the cursor themem11:41
glitsj16Kingsy: do you have a symlink to the moblin theme in ~/.icons/default?11:42
Kingsyno index.theme is just a file owned by root. perhaps I should delete it11:42

Kingsyhaha11:56
glitsj16Kingsy: haha, well, make a backup now you have it as you prefer11:56
oerheksppf, when xenial was released, it used llvm 3.8 iirc, so that is why there are no packageslists there i guess11:56

oerheksbut if you want to, you can .. https://askubuntu.com/questions/481293/selinux-implementation-in-ubuntu12:28
necrophcodroerheks, i'm not asking for it to be installed either. does debian use selinux by default perhaps?12:29
necrophcodrit's a dependency that's being pulled somehow.12:29
oerheksnecrophcodr, could well be, yes12:29
oerheksvlt, your problem was a xrdp service crashing, not accepting new connections, so it is hard to find out why with such little info, one issue could be ports in use, and hardcoding the port, could fix that12:30
vltoerheks: Ah, I see ... thanks!12:31
necrophcodrit appears that it _does_ have it compiled in and depends upon it by default, even though it isn't enabled.12:35

tomreynhow did you install it?12:58
vlttomreyn: Hmmm ... unforunately in my logfiles I can't find a single answer to my xrdp problem I didn't answer. Can you point me to one? I really might have missed that then.12:58
tomreynvlt: i'm not sure whether it logs to., i would check xorg.*.log*, syslog and dmesg at least.12:59
vlttomreyn: Oh sorry, I referred to my *irc* logfiles.13:00
vlttomreyn: Nothing in xorg.log (as X isn't involved at all here), nothing suspicious in syslog/dmesg or xrdp's sesman.log13:01
tomreynvlt: one of the questions i asked you one of the lprevious times you asked your question is (roughly) "what's in your log files?"13:01
tomreynhave you tried to increase logging verbosity / enabling debug logging?13:02
vlttomreyn: Not yet. I'll find out where to set that. Thanks!13:06
tomreynapparently xrdp and sesman each have their own logging configurations. you may need to modifiy both13:06
vlttomreyn: Is this also you? 2017-06-17 16:34:53     rictaslix       vlt: Have you checked your xrdp logs?13:06
tomreynwhats the error message when a client tries to connect? can you connect to the srdp server port using netcat still?13:06
tomreynvlt: thats not me13:07
vlttomreyn: Ok, then I'm sorry for not having replied to you. (I suspect a netsplit because there's absolutely nothing in my own irc logs.)13:08
* vlt checks how to increase logging verbosity13:08
tomreynvlt: it is possible that someone else asked what i meant to ask and since you never responded did not actually ask more questions, sorry if that's so, can't find it on irclogs.ubuntu.com using a web search either.13:09
tomreynanyways, looking forwards, the generic approach to find out why some service is not working is: get textual error messages and check the web for any of these, possibly combined with a generic descritption of this issue; check log files; increase log file verbosity, reproduce the issue, check log files; maybe try a newer version; run service through gdb, get backtrace by the time things fail, pass it to the software developers, ask for more13:12
tomreyninstructions.13:12
tomreynthat's not exactly applicable in all cases, but should usually work13:13
tomreynvlt: ^13:13
vlttomreyn: Looking backwards for a last time: I hope I don't give the impression that I just want to demonstrate how wrong you are ;-)  I was just deperately trying to find an answer in the irc logs I might have missed. I really appreciate your help!13:15
* vlt increases logging (but also fires up standby xrdp servers to take over when this happens again in around six weeks :-D)13:17
tomreynvlt: it's fine, it's just generally (i can't verify whether this was the case here) a little frustrating when you respond to people's questions and they never get back to you on it, then repost the same message again later.13:21
tomreynbut i appreciate the energy you put into ruling this out.13:21
tomreynvlt: (only) if any of the xrdp / sesman processes actually fail (segfault) you should be able to capture core files (by default those are not written to disk but piped into apport). if you have debug symbols installed you'll be able to gather 'meaningfuly' core files which you can use to generate a backtrace of the crash which can be useful to the software developers as well as the ubuntu package maintainers in identifying the malfunction.13:26
tomreynbut indeed look into better logging first of all13:29
vlttomreyn: My current check if everything is fine is a `watch "netsat -tulpen | grep 3389"` :-D  Because everytime that problem occurs the process still is running (as well as the sessions of the already logged in users) but it stops listening to tcp 3389. And you're right: that's not a real _crash_ :-/13:32

tomreynarunangshu: this said, you may be able to uninstall it using: sudo ppa-purge ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa13:45
tomreynvlt: lsof allows you to specify the specific port you want to look for, whereas the netstat + grep is very error prone13:46
tomreynvlt: so connections remain in established state on the server whereas the client has since disconnected. this could be due to a software bug, or due to incorrect firewall configurations.13:48

vlttomreyn: I think I found the reason for the reaminig connections. Because there's no "shutdown client pc" button on the xrdp login screen users just switch off their client. The xfreerdp process there has no chance to properly close the connection. BUT: The next time someone uses this client, a new ESTABLISHED connection appears in lsof's output. No duplicates for client IP addresses. I don't suspect this as14:02
vlta cause (for now).14:02

illmatixI'm running ubuntu 16.04 server and trying to get mongodb installed but i keep running into an issue with libc6 not being the correct version and apt-cache doesn't seem to list any newer versinos than 2.1916:43
oerheksillmatix, odd, xenial updates gives 2.23 https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/libc616:45
illmatixyeah that's what i'm seeing on that page too. Not sure why my local updates and cache checks only list the other version16:45
oerheksdid you run sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade # this might help16:45
illmatixhrm.. full-upgrade vs upgrade?16:46
oerheksif you run it, you still need to confirm, but it gives a list what might be held back16:46
oerheksnewer kernel?16:46
illmatixlol nothing.16:46
tomreynxenial comes with libc6 2.23 by default., if you have an older version currently it suggests a failed distribution upgrade or manually installed packages16:47
illmatixoh actually, i must be on trusty so that's 14.04?16:48
oerheksaii good find, tomreyn16:48
tomreynwhat does this give? dpkg -l libc6; lsb_release -sd16:48
oerheksyeah, trusty gives 2.19-0ubuntu6.1316:48

tomreynso yes it's always good to know what you're working with ;)16:49
illmatixahh okay that seems to be the limitation currently. Is there anyway to get a newer version without building manually?16:49
peyam_hi. whel installing ubuntu I accidently removed the windows Bootloader partition now when using update-grub it does not detect win 1016:49

oerheksbuilding for mongodb 2.4.9-1ubuntu2 ?? such old version, i would not stick time in that ..16:50
peyam_EriC^^, I have bootable USB16:50
tomreynillmatix: don't try to increase the version number of libc6 on ubuntu 14.04, you will break your system.16:50
illmatixhaha oerheks alright sounds like i'll avoid a manual build16:50

jerknextdoorUpgraded my XPS 15 from 16.04 to 17.04 over the weekend. After the first restart it goes to a black screen with '/dev/sda1 clean ####/##### blocks'. The OS is started in the background since I can ssh into the box, but something is going on with X or a driver I think. I've tried installing, removing, and every combination of driver possible. I finally gave up this afternoon and upgraded to 17.10 hoping that would get me somewhere17:06

baloooHi everyone.  We recently updated to 4.10.0-27-generic,  and since we've found a whole bunch uninteruptable processes popping up across the esate.  It seems to be related to our cron.daily being run, although there is nothing present in that folder.  Our setup is a little complicated (kubernetes/docker) so without going into the details, Im looking into advice on how i can investigate this further myself?  For example I have one server with over 40017:44
baloooprocesses in an uninteruptable state.  "root     128249  0.0  0.0  44004  2560 ?        D    05:17   0:00 /usr/sbin/CRON -f"17:44

spearthistleioria: what does "really idk" mean?17:46
ioriaspearthistle, I don't know17:46
spearthistleioria: okay, so the safer option might be a chrubuntu install of 12.04?  I was really pleased with the 14.04 install because all tegra K1 drivers were working (4.4 openGL and fishGL at 50fps).17:47

baloooHi,  I'm having serious problems after upgrading the kernal to 4.10.0-27-generic.  You can see the problem by installing  Docker version 1.12.6. and doing `docker run phusion/baseimage sleep 10000`.  After doing this, any attempt to cat/modify the `/etc/crontab` file in the container causes the system to hang.  Every attempt to run cron.hourly, causes more and more uninteruptable process that cannot be cleaned up.  This prevents docker from being able to19:49
balooodo docker stop/kill.19:49

thebwtand actually, if that works then I think `systemctl restart display-manager` would do it20:07
thebwtwhich that's really really cool20:07
baloootomreyn:  sure.  I am trying to get back 4.4.0-77-generic from 4.10.0-27-generic.   When i look at the apt history.log all i see is: apt installing linux-generic-hwe-16.04 which brings in linux-headers-4.10.0-27-generic and linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04:amd64 and a few more others.  So I was trying to find a package i could install that would manage all those dependencies, allowing me to just go back to what it was, i.e. 4.4.0-77.  I'm just not sure how20:11
baloooto look if old packages exist20:11
polyarchive_glitsj16 -- thanks for the tip -- how do i do that?20:11
polyarchive_i need very literal directions, i am quite new to linux20:11
polyarchive_:/20:11
thebwtpolyarchive_: you jsut want to restart it right?20:11
gpayanoHi20:12
thebwtif so, all you should need to do,  no matter what dm you use, is run `systemctl restart display-manager`20:12
glitsj16polyarchive_: ls -l /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service .. and look at the service name it refers to at the end of the result20:12
gpayanoanyone using Virtualbox?20:12

DbuggerHello everyone20:14
DbuggerI have a small question. Is there any hotkey to move the windows between screens?20:14
tomreynbalooo: so basically you want to get back from the HWE kernel to the default kernel in 16.04 LTS, i would think20:15
tomreyn!hwe20:16
ubottuThe Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack20:16
tomreynbalooo: if that's so, you can just: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic; sudo apt-get purge linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove20:18
aroonihow do i modify set viminfo=%,<1000,'10,/50,:100,h,f1,n~/.viminfo to include marks !@#$%^&* ?20:19
aroonioops wrong chan20:19
tomreynbalooo: if you have headers installed, you may want to do the same there.20:19
jscatalahello! I create user X with home at /home/X. Then I create a user Y with home /home/X and added Y to group X. But Y still not been capable to write into X root20:23
th0rjscatala, make sure the group has write permissions, once you make sure you want to do this20:25
jscatalath0r: if I do ls -l all files have X X <filename>20:26
th0rjscatala, to the right of all that.....(drwxrrwxrwx) those are read,write, and execute permissions for user,group,world20:26
th0rjscatala, the other right....the left most column20:27
jscatalath0r: -rwxrwx---20:28
baloootomreyn: So installing the 4.8 linux headers package also seems to have resolved the problems.  I'm just not sure if that has any other impacts, or if that's a relatively safe change as it's additive.  Do you know/have any views on that?  So to leave it on 4.10.0-27 and just install linux-headers.4.8 ?20:28
jscatalath0r: this is enought20:28
th0rjscatala, then the group should be able to write to that file20:29
th0rjscatala, for a file, a directory should say drwxrwx---20:29
jscatalath0r: if I check /etc/group I get X:...:Y20:29
th0rjscatala, never looked there....not sure what it should say/20:30
jscatalath0r: sudo chmod a+d pwd ?20:30
th0rjscatala, no....that is a bad idea I think20:30
th0rjscatala, what are you trying to do?20:30
tomreynbalooo: which ubuntu release are you working on?20:33
tomreynbalooo: kernel 4.8 is not available as an official / supported package for ubuntu 16.04 at this time. so you must have gotten this from elsewhere or built it yourself?20:34
tomreynthat's if you are on ubuntu 16.0420:34
tomreynbalooo: so far my understanding was that you would like to downgrade from 4.10 (HWE kernel) to 4.4 (default 16.04 kernel), now how does 4.8 get into play there?20:35
baloootomreyn:  no, we need HWE for some aws specific capabilities.  According to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Support?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=16.04.x+Ubuntu+Kernel+Support+Schedule.svg  there should be a 16.04.2 (v4.8) HWE package available, or at least there was a some time.20:36
baloooI just don't know how/where to find it.20:36
baloooI'd be happy to move to HWE 4.4 as well20:37
illmatixhi, I was just in the process of upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. I ran in to a problem when i guess it was updating the kernel and my /boot partition was out of space. I since tried to do a clean up like i've done in the past but everytime i try to continue the process it seems to add those images back into the directory. Any ideas how i can do this properly?20:40
tomreynbalooo: which ubuntu release do you run there?20:41
tomreynlsb_release -sd20:42
baloooUbuntu 16.04.2 LTS20:42

DbuggerNoone knows how to move windows between screens?20:44
th0rDbugger, I just drag the window from one to the other20:45
glitsj16Dbugger: https://askubuntu.com/questions/141752/keyboard-shortcut-to-move-windows-between-monitors has a few options20:45
oerheksrightclick on window > move to workspace20:45
oerheksor hold winkey for all shortcuts20:45
SimonNLDbugger: can't you right click the panel tab and choose that20:45
Dbuggerth0r, Id like a key combination, so that I can be faster than with the mouse20:46
Dbuggerglitsj16, that is a question from 2012. Did it even use Unity?20:46
DbuggerSimonNL, I would like to be able to do it without touching the mouse20:47
tomreynbalooo: then your choice is between (a) 16.04.0's default (GA) kernel version 4.4, specifically 4.4.0-21 currently, (b) the HWE kernel, currently 4.10.0-27, and (c) the HWE 'edge' kernel, currently 4.10.0-2620:47
Dbuggeroerheks, I do not what to move it to another workspace. I want to move it to another SCREEN20:47
DbuggerI have 3 monitors at home20:47
glitsj16Dbugger: yes, unity as a compiz plugin is still able to use what's on that page, and there's desktop-environment neutral tips as well20:48
tomreynbalooo: the meta packages linux-image-generic, linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 and linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04-edge allow you to install these easily.20:49
daguz_How do I get pam to ignore expired password.   I want the password to be able to expire, but a cron job needs to continue running.20:53
oerheksDbugger, with compiz manager you can, and choose a personal shortcut http://www.arj.no/2017/01/03/move-windows-ubuntu/20:54
oerheksenable 'put' , and configure it20:54

illmatixhow can i make space on /boot when trying to finish off a upgrade from 14 to 16 lst when the apt install -f recreates the 3.13.0-x initrd.img-3.13.0.-x-generic and prevents the new kernel from finishing up20:58
baloootomreyn: is there no way for me to go back to the HWE kernel 4.4.0-77-generic?21:00
Ben644.4 isn't HWE21:00
glitsj16illmatix: have you tried purging unneeded kernels + header packages *before* starting the upgrade?21:00
illmatixglitsj16: well the examples i've seen mention different file names then what i'm seeing in /boot.21:01
illmatixglitsj16:  this is a vm on our internal server so i'm not sure if the names differe for that21:01
DWSRHey all, I'm trying to do an unattended installation of Ubuntu 16.04 via Packer on Hyper-V. When I boot into the Ubuntu installer, it reads my preseed file, but tells me that the CDROM for installation can't be found and then the VM freezes. Is there any way that I can enable additional logging or feedback?21:01
DWSRPreseed file and Packer template can be found here: https://gist.github.com/DWSR/2d89bc8ca8eb969b4147991eb982cf3f21:02
glitsj16illmatix: focus on what's in your /boot, there's no difference in package names what apt (the package manager) is concerned21:03
illmatixglitsj16: well doing a purge on the images that get recreated returns package not found. the names i'm trying to clean is initrd.img-3.13.0-x-generic21:07
boblamontWhen I plug a portable USB HD into my laptop running Lubuntu 16.04, it just sort of stops. Sometimes the screen goes black (I think in those cases, it has fallen asleep and won't wake back up), other times, the panel disappears and clicking anything on the desktop makes all the icons on the desktop vanish (the background remains). What's going on?21:07
tomreynbalooo: what Ben said21:07
crobertshas anyone see where all my gnome extensions are disabled upon restart21:08
crobertsi saw a post about using system default when logging in but didnt help21:08
crobertsit worked for a bit then stopped21:08
croberts16.0421:08
tomreynbalooo: 4.4 is the default 'General Availability' kernel. and going back to that just means installing linux-image-generic and ensuring you actually boot into this kernel by the multiple means available.21:09
illmatixglitsj16: ahh okay i think i figured it out thanks. :)21:11
glitsj16illmatix: you'll need to tell apt the exact package names; initrd.img-3.13.0-x-generic suggests linux-image-3.13.0-generic for example.. might be easier to use synaptic if you're not familiar with kernel naming schemes21:11
boblamontI just right clicked, an openbox menu is there, choosing anything gets a "can't start lxle" type error.21:11
illmatixglitsj16: yeah this is a remote box with out x so synaptic might not be easy to set up in the current state but i found a awya to remove the headers once i realized the names were a little different21:12
glitsj16illmatix: yeah, i understand, once you figure that out it should make some space in /boot21:14
illmatixglitsj16: yeah, the process we were using was only to remove the files in /boot not the actual package that's stored. So that's probably why they were getting repopulated while trying to complete the upgrade21:14
illmatixThanks again glitsj1621:14
glitsj16illmatix: the gist of it being: don't rm files manually or apt won't be aware of it and will try to keep those, no problem :)21:15
illmatixYeah, good to note i'll add that to our internal documentation.21:15
douxHome Backup Question: I tar(ed) my /home/user_name directory and then opened up Virtualbox and replaced the fresh install with my untared directory. Tried to open Firefox to see if all my settings were good. Firefox didn't want to open. What am I not understanding about recovering your home directory???21:29
[n0mad]do other apps exhibit the same behavior or just firefox?21:31
douxn0mad: I didn't check. I will check LibreOffice Writer...21:31
douxn0mad: LibreOffice says my settings are locked?21:32
redviperyou should check permissions between the old home directory and the untared one21:33
douxI used a different user name... but I thought that it was the number 1000 that mattered...21:33
douxredviper I made sure that i used tar -cvpzf, but I will check that.21:34
redviperoh ok; have you tried to launch firefox from command line? maybe it can give a more clear error21:35

oerheksGalzuFromQ, 2.6 kernel sounds like vagrant23:24
oerheksno way you run any other kernel on that, ask in the #vagrant channel23:25
balooooerhks: but we were using hwe successfully, it's only when it got upgraded to 4.10 from 4.8 that it stopped working for us.23:26
GalzuFromQbipul, you're welcome.23:27
GalzuFromQoerheks, can you explain please?23:27
oerheksvagrant is a highly tweaked cloud image, not supported by ubuntu.23:28
oerheksask the vagrant channel why they stick to the 2.6.x kernel23:28
bipuloerheks, Do you know how to install vagrant? I would love to learn about it. :)23:29
oerheksbipul, why do you ask, i don't support it.23:29
GalzuFromQOk, its a shared virtual server.23:29
bipulGalzuFromQ, Means, there is difference between VM and Vagrant?23:31
GalzuFromQbipul, not sure... I haven't administered a server in a while.23:31
