[00:04] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: Pastebin your fstab file ' cat /etc/fstab | nc termbin.com 9999 ' to start this ball rolling .
[00:08] <Schnabeltierchen> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173324/ here my /etc/fstab
[00:14] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: Not OK, What are you trying to set up here ? You have no mount in fstab for a nfs share .
[00:16] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm, i thought autofs would handle the thing with fuse... but it seems i was wrong, still learning this stuff. i got a small linux box with decent storage, now i want to mount to mount some nfs shares from my nas to the box
[00:21] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: step 8 : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-16-04 . should be similar in 14.04 .
[00:24] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm so i will comment the values out in my existing configs and test it from the beginning :)
[00:27] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: K; For a network share, must mount the share(s) somewhere . to automount is the function of the fstab file .
[00:29] <Schnabeltierchen> ah finally: mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.178.21:/volume1/Downloads ! a hint i could follow :)
[00:35] <Schnabeltierchen> Bashing-om thank you for setting me upon the right trail :)
[00:41] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: Yepper . The server manages permissions . See what the tutoral says .
[00:42] <Schnabeltierchen> https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/3189407/ <-- this was the issue with the permissions... mounting it manually (sudo mount 192.168.178.21:/volume1/Downloads /media/nfs/) works, but autofs doesn´t....
[00:45] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: Never used autofs to mount . Can not directly advise .
[00:46] <Schnabeltierchen> but you set me on the trail figuring out problem number 1, that was a great help on my way to solve this whole thing :)
[00:51] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen,  did u try 192.168.178.21/volume1/Downloads
[00:52] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear: mounting just "Downloads" to the "main-nfs-folder" /media/nfs woks with ( sudo mount 192.168.178.21:/volume1/Downloads /media/nfs ) works, but autofs doesn´t mount the share....
[00:58] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear my autofs settings are http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173211/
[01:02] <kenrin> It doesn't mount after you ls ?
[01:04] <Schnabeltierchen> yep
[01:04] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, are you using systemd by anychance?
[01:04] <Schnabeltierchen> gulp... maybe... wasn´t it introduced in 16.04 first? i´m running 14.04....
[01:04] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, if u are just follow the instruction and 2 files to set it up ;) http://blog.tomecek.net/post/automount-with-systemd/
[01:04] <Schnabeltierchen> Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
[01:04] <kenrin> Where is your /etc/auto.nfs paste or did I miss that
[01:05] <Schnabeltierchen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173211/ lines 17-20
[01:07] <Oderus> anyone happen to know in kubuntu where the config file is to set the icon theme in kubuntu?
[01:08] <kenrin> Looks good to me as long as the /media/nfs/Downloads dir doesn't exist.  May need to change the fstype to nfs4 if you are using that
[01:08] <Schnabeltierchen> ahh :)
[01:09] <Schnabeltierchen> changed it to -fstype=nfs4,rw,retry=0
[01:10] <littlebear> kenrin, the config looks good to me too, i thought ubuntu 14.04 doesn't ship with nfs4
[01:10] <Schnabeltierchen> reboot, but sadly nope...
[01:10] <kenrin> No idea,  autofs is dying off to systemd so I never use it anymore
[01:11] <Schnabeltierchen> sadly i can´t get my box to update to 16.04 :(
[01:12] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm can´t i use systemd in 14.04? :P
[01:12] <littlebear> instead of 192.168.178.* can you do 192.168.178.0/24
[01:13] <kenrin> You can not use systemd in 14.04 without destroying the OS
[01:13] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, i was looking at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/106122/mount-nfs-access-denied-by-server-while-mounting-on-ubuntu-machines
[01:13] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, it looks like they are doing .0/24 as oppose to *, donno if that can fix the issue on the server end
[01:13] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear i already figured out this problem with the help of Bashing-om :) https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/post/3189407/ <-- this was giving me the the problem
[01:14] <Schnabeltierchen> windows refused mounting the share before this change, now windows mounts it... but not my linux box
[01:14] <kenrin> If you want to troubleshoot it more,  There is a setting inside /etc/default/autofs to output verbosely.  Then you can find out why it is not working due to errors
[01:15] <kenrin> Probably permission issue
[01:15] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, LOL, i totally blame the guy who designed it, they need to fix wildcard
[01:15] <Schnabeltierchen> yeah, but this was very easy to fix :)
[01:16] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, so now u're win is working, but linux client can't mount nfs?
[01:17] <Schnabeltierchen> the linux client does the manually mounting ( sudo mount 192.168.178.21:/volume1/Downloads /media/nfs ) but autofs doesn´t mount the folders
[01:17] <Schnabeltierchen> the Downloads folder gets mounted to the "main-nfs-folder", but it´s just for testing
[01:19] <littlebear> is autofs running? /etc/init.d/autofs status
[01:19] <Schnabeltierchen> "sudo restart autofs" gives me "autofs start/running, process 1554", so i assume: yes
[01:21] <littlebear> so if u cd /media/nfs/Downloads it doesn't work?
[01:21] <Schnabeltierchen> nope
[01:22] <Schnabeltierchen> if i do /media/nfs it works... ls doesn´t give me anything in this folder
[01:22] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, can you edit it to Downloads -fstype=nfs,rw 192.168.178.21:/volume1/Downloads
[01:23] <littlebear> just wanted to check without the retry option
[01:23] <Schnabeltierchen> kk
[01:24] <kenrin> If you stop autofs and automount -f -v does it tell you why it is not mounting?
[01:24] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: "/media/nfs/Downloads" mounted in more than one palce ? As thr last moun overrides the former and in that case of 2 mounts will see nothing .
[01:25] <Bashing-om> as the last mount**
[01:26] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, fyi, on the client you just reload autofs, don't need to reboot server
[01:27] <Schnabeltierchen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173671/ is the outpuf of "automount -f -v"
[01:29] <kenrin> it says it mounted indirect on /media/nfs =/
[01:29] <Schnabeltierchen> Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173676/ doesn´t show anything of the nfs folder....
[01:29] <Schnabeltierchen> but after i did "sudo mount -l" the putput from the autofs changed....
[01:30] <Schnabeltierchen> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173688/ is the new thing... something about udev...
[01:31] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear i just rebooting the client, not the server... just the end some manually mounted things, to be sure
[01:33] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen,
[01:33] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, can you check permission for auto.master file?
[01:33] <littlebear> on the client put chmod 777 for now
[01:34] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: 1st paste does not show any nfs mounted . // and the system is screaming in the 2nd about the mounts in /media/ . What shows ' ls -al /media/ ; ls -al /media/nfs/ ' ?
[01:34] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, also do the same for /etc/auto.nfs
[01:37] <Schnabeltierchen> okay set chmod 777 to both files, http://termbin.com/gk1d and http://termbin.com/on6d are the outputs
[01:38] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, what's the output of automount -f -v
[01:39] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173735/
[01:40] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm but now the output didn´t change when i did "sudo mount -l"...
[01:41] <littlebear> in /etc/auto.master delete all other line except /media/nfs /etc/auto.nfs
[01:41] <kenrin> It won't change until you cd and try to ls the dir
[01:42] <littlebear> Schnabeltierchen, after a autofs reload, does you're ls /media/nfs/Downloads work now?
[01:45] <Schnabeltierchen> littlebear http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173768/ is the output after i tried to ls the directory
[01:47] <kenrin> failedd..
[01:47] <littlebear> ok, atleast we're getting somewhere :) failed to mount /media/nfs/Downloads
[01:47] <kenrin> automount -f --debug should give ya some more info on that
[01:48] <Schnabeltierchen> kenrin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25173795/
[01:50] <kenrin> Wait did you set execute on the auto. files ?  That'll cause some issues
[01:50] <jayjo> what's the du command to show the human readable directory file size from / ?
[01:50] <littlebear> jayjo, du -h
[01:51] <jayjo> just the directores
[01:51] <jayjo> the directories totals, not each individual file size
[01:52] <kenrin> chmod -x those auto. files Schnabeltierchen .  Then re-test with automount -f --debug
[01:53] <Schnabeltierchen> AAAHHH
[01:56] <Schnabeltierchen> but strangely: when i "cd /media/nfs" and do "ls" it doesn´t show anything, but i can do "cd Downloads" and it enters the folder...
[01:56] <Schnabeltierchen> there was something about an --ghost flag for autofs i remember....
[01:59] <Schnabeltierchen> after cd´ing into Downloads all files show up and i can access them... and doing "ls" now is showing the "Downloads" folder inside "/media/nfs"
[02:00] <[n0mad]> now just never touch anything
[02:00] <Schnabeltierchen> i rebooted the client severall times to for testing and stuff :)
[02:01] <kenrin> Yeah you can --ghost to the end of the line in auto.master
[02:01] <kenrin> Then tab completion will work on the dir
[02:05] <pankaj> Whay did ubuntu changed the log configuration file name from syslog.conf to rsyslog.conf?
[02:05] <kenrin> Because they use rsyslog instead of syslog
[02:05] <Schnabeltierchen> thx guys kenrin, littlebear and Bashing-om! you guys did it!
[02:06] <pankaj> kenrin: That's what I am asking.
[02:08] <kenrin> Not sure what you are asking then pankaj,  they moved software so the config is different.  :  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Syslogd_to_rsyslog
[02:09] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: :)
[02:09] <maxcell_> Hi, im having an error with "vainfo" it returns an error about nvidia_drv_so
[02:10] <kenrin> pankaj: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Syslogd_to_rsyslog
[02:10] <maxcell_> what should i install to have vaapi running with vdpau in nvidia cards?
[02:12] <pankaj> kenrin: That was satisfying info.
[02:19] <alnr> hi all. after i used teamviewer to remote into my desktop everything (fonts, icons, chrome) got huge and is stuck like that. I know the resolution is correct. another profile on the box is ok so im thinking its something in my home folder but i dont know what. Its so bad I pretty much cant open anything like 'display' or seetings
[02:22] <gatolinux> It looks like "Ubuntu server" is the only distribution backed up by a Vendor (Canonical, in this case) support which on the same time remains free to use by users. Did I catch well the idea?
[02:24] <kenrin> alnr: I think that is stored in .config/compiz* or the gtk dirs.  You can always use the "unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity" if you have it installed
[02:26] <alnr> kenrin: ok thanks. i'm really curious what setting would do that. i thought maybe something to do with accessibility
[02:26] <alnr> or zoom or magnify or something like that
[02:29] <kenrin> I'm not exactly sure which one does it.  But it would be in the tweak tool somewhere
[02:35] <alnr> hmm, that didnt work, still gigantic everything. tweak said it was going to reset everything and then i logged out and back in
[02:35] <alnr> meanwhile this account i'm in now is fine
[02:38] <th0r> alnr, just an idea...since one account is fine and the other is hosed, chances are the setting is somewhere in .config. Backup the hosed .config, then copy the good one over and see if that solves the problem
[02:38] <th0r> alnr, that is ~/.config....where most of the user configs are stored
[02:39] <alnr> yeah that sounds good. i was looking at .config/compiz-1 on hosed one, theres hardly anything in it
[02:40] <alnr> otoh, .compiz/session has bunch of binary files with generated names
[02:42] <kenrin> You sure stuff just isn't zoomed in?  Can you ctrl + mousewheel and change it ?
[02:44] <alnr> yeah, no its not that. is so screwed. my icons on the left are literally 6 inches square (this is on a 43inch 4k monitor)
[02:45] <kenrin> that can be changed in the tweak tool under panel
[02:45] <kenrin> But yeah probably better just to remove the configs
[02:46] <alnr> and everything is uniformly over sized. eg the menu bar on top is probably over an inch. fonts, etc.
[02:46] <alnr> let me try that
[02:57] <eelstrebor> is there an automated way to verify that file/directory and  ownership/permissions are correct?
[02:57] <eelstrebor> seems that updates are messing with ownership and file permissions
[02:58]  * eelstrebor just fixed serveral problems for clamav
[03:03] <alnr> well, i misowned .config as root, and now my desktop has no chrome to logout with, is there a way to logout just from the shell? or switch user?
[03:05] <eelstrebor> alnr, sudo pkill -KILL -u <username>
[03:06] <Bashing-om> alnr: Try: ' gnome-session-quit --logout ' .
[03:06] <pankaj> The /var/log directory seems to be so complex. Is their any easy tutorial for some important log files in this directory and how to understand log information from them?
[03:07] <alnr> thanks for those 2 answers, one should work :)
[03:07] <eelstrebor> Bashing-om, that's probably a better way
[03:07] <alnr> yep trying that first
[03:08] <alnr> i'm still here :)
[03:14] <pankaj> The /var/log directory seems to be so complex. Is their any easy tutorial for some important log files in this directory and how to understand log information from them?
[03:15] <pankaj> What is the use of dmesg command?
[03:16] <alnr> i tried replacing .config with an empty .config, and still, everything is blown way up
[03:16] <Bashing-om> what release and desktop are you running ?
[03:16] <alnr> 16.04 and um, the purple one? :)
[03:18] <alnr> it says "Ubuntu (default)" on the login
[03:18] <Bashing-om> alnr: Let's kmow what is ' ls /usr/share/xsessions ' returns what ?
[03:18] <Bashing-om> know*
[03:19] <alnr> ok this account has gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop ubuntu.desktop gnome-flashback-metacity.desktop , it looks same as the bad one
[03:21] <Bashing-om> alnr: Dorry, I do not know how to deal with gnome as the desktop :(
[03:21] <alnr> haha
[03:21] <Bashing-om> Sorry**
[03:21] <alnr> i guess whatever is hosed is somewhere other than ~/.config
[03:23] <alnr> time to torch ~/.compiz/session :)
[03:26] <Bashing-om> alnr: Lemme see what I can find out to reset to defaults .
[03:28] <Bashing-om> alnr: Positive retumes ' ls .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity ' ?
[03:28] <Bashing-om> returns*
[03:31] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm, i edited a deamon-script for my needs http://paste.ubuntu.com/25174286/ starting works, stoping works, but status gives me "/etc/init.d/jdownloader: invalid arguments  * could not access PID file for jDownloader2 Server". where did i do my mistake?
[03:31] <Schnabeltierchen> *removed line 35, my first mistake. just saw it :)
[03:34] <hap1ess> Sarah Mendoza <sarahm3107@yahoo.com> <-- USA spy sex worker operative
[03:35] <hap1ess> mira mesa, california
[03:35] <hap1ess> miramar college
[03:35] <alnr> it returned .gnome: apps followed by .gnome2 accels.  .gconfd and .metacity no such file or directory. btw, replacing ~ with a fresh empty one did fix it but of course i need most of the home stuff back in
[03:35] <Bashing-om> Schnabeltierchen: Do not have the application installed , can not compare files :(
[03:36] <alnr> nothing exciting in .gnome/apps
[03:37] <alnr> or .gnome2/accels
[03:37] <alnr> there is a .gconf
[03:39] <alnr> .gconf/apps/%gconf.xml 0 length, thats odd name
[03:41] <Bashing-om> alnr: Srill not convinced what desktop we have here . What shows ' echo $DESKTOP_SESSION " " $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP " ?
[03:42] <alnr> they say ubuntu and Unity
[03:47] <Bashing-om> alnr: OK, Try as ' sudo service lightdm stop ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm ; sudo dpkg-reconfigure unity-greeter ; sudo service lightdm start ' .
[03:56] <pankaj> I want to switch from getty program to something else. What should I do?
[04:04] <alnr> Bashing-om: i tried the lightdm reconfigure but it did not help
[04:05] <Bashing-om> alnr: Well, All I know to do next is try and reset all to defaults . wanna ?
[04:05] <alnr> all of?
[04:07] <alnr> i did establish that emptying out ~ completely does have the effect.
[04:11] <Bashing-om> alnr: I have in my notes a possible alternate . Is this 14.04 ? ( remind me )
[04:11] <alnr> nop, 16.04
[04:14] <Bashing-om> alnr: Think'n ; See ' apt show ubuntu-session ' . If we re-install maybe set all to rights ?
[04:18] <sonu_nk> Centos server: hi i have ssh access.. i wnt to create a user who do not have root permission but have www-data apache permissions .
[04:22] <Bashing-om> sonu_nk: Centos is not supported here , ask in the ##linux channel :)
[04:23] <alnr> Bashing-om: i think i'm gonna try a fresh ~ and moving the bits i care about back in
[04:25] <Bashing-om> alnr: That nuclear solution always works . and is often a lot faster - if you have current backups :)
[04:26] <alnr> u mean the re install ubuntu-session solution?
[04:27] <alnr> or the empty-out
[04:29] <Bashing-om> alnr: nuclear solution == fresh re-install of the operating system .

[05:14] <LukeLR> I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS next to another linux, how can I add it to systemd-boot?
[05:18] <alnr> Bashing-om: fyi, i think i found it- on the displays dialog, "Scale for menu and title bars" was at something like 6. The displays dialog was not even fitting the screen so i couldnt see it (until i used unity-tweak to make the fonts really tiny)
[05:19] <Bashing-om> LukeLR: Terminal command ' sudo update-grub ' . pick up and chain-load the other operating system(s)/
[05:20] <Bashing-om> alnr: :) All good now ?
[05:22] <dorkmafia> I'm trying to install ubuntu and I am seeing the 32 bit boot screen
[05:22] <dorkmafia> but I have a 64 bit intel i7
[05:23] <LukeLR> Bashing-om: Thanks, but I want to use systemd-boot as my boot loader, since It's simpler, more modern and more versatile in my opinion.
[05:24] <LukeLR> FYI it was really easy to fix this, just make a copy of the config i already used and replace the uuid by the uuid of the ubuntu disk. that works, even although ubuntu has a much older kernel version than arch linux
[05:26] <alnr> yes, thanks for your help. the other setting was "Scale all window contents to match" which was set to display with smallest controls. I think this all started when I went into the desktop from my 3kres tablet and touched teamviewer resolution tweaking
[05:27] <alnr> i mean to say, went in with teamviewer
[05:29] <Bashing-om> alnr: You do good work :)
[05:30] <alnr> thanks, i'm nothing if not doggedly persistent :)
[05:32] <Bashing-om> alnr: We do learn the more being persistent :)
[05:57] <ByteBits> I have installed ubuntu but I have problem updating

[05:58] <ByteBits> yep
[05:59] <lotuspsychje> ByteBits: what kind of error you getting?
[06:00] <_pronet_> are you using your local server for updates? the on nearest to your location?
[06:00] <ByteBits> it can't connect to the server it ignores it
[06:00] <ByteBits> I tried local and the the main server
[06:00] <ByteBits> nothing:(
[06:01] <ByteBits> any suggestion?
[06:02] <ByteBits> I use ubuntu 16.04
[06:04] <ByteBits> I connect to the internet ok even from browser and irc but update server no
[06:04] <vbotka> ByteBits, you might want to try and change the server https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[06:09] <ByteBits> the same
[06:09] <ByteBits> problem
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> ByteBits: you added ppa's of different kinds right?
[06:14] <ByteBits> yep
[06:15] <ByteBits> should I remove them?
[06:17] <ByteBits> I removed them but problem remains
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> !ppapurge | ByteBits
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> ByteBits: we dont support ppa's here because they can scramble your system. so its recommended to use ubuntu with default repos
[06:22] <Schnabeltierchen> hi, i edited a small init.d-daemon-config http://termbin.com/ow25 and it mostly works, except the status, it gives me http://paste.ubuntu.com/25174986/ any ideas what i did wrong?
[06:23] <maja> hello all, i am trying to reset my mysql root password using https://coderwall.com/p/j9btlg/reset-the-mysql-5-7-root-password-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts and i get one warning when running the sql part of it
[06:28] <maja> ahhh i see now "host='localhost'
[06:28] <agenthex> Anyone here have a Lenovo Yoga 720 15"?
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> !ask @ agenthex
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> !ask | agenthex
[06:31] <agenthex> I know it's silly to ask that as a general question, but the touchpad in this machine is not working in any distribution, and I wanted to know if anyone at all had one and got it to work.  I've been distro hopping trying to get it to work, and even compiled my own kernel.  I'm sure support will roll around eventually, but I wanted to know if anyone managed to get the touchpad working, and I'd take the (very machine-specific) questi
[06:33] <agenthex> It's a very new machine.  The touchscreen works, and so does bluetooth and everything else I've been able to test so far.  Just the touchpad doesn't work for beans on any distribution.
[06:37] <maja> agenthex: no touch pad annoying ! there is an adtional package you can install for mouse control that my help, though i can't remember its name
[06:37] <Schnabeltierchen> agenthex: any multi-function-keys to disable the touchpad?
[06:38] <agenthex> So, just to get it into one line and make it nice and concise and not at all wordy: If anyone has a Lenovo Yoga 720, specifically the 15" version, please let me know.  If you got the touchpad to work, help me!  If not, let's figure this out.
[06:38] <agenthex> Schnabeltierchen: yes, but it does not enable functionality.
[06:39] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm i´m a newbie, i´m certainly wrong but... try using this keys a bit, and tail dmesg or lsusb.... maybe this gives a hint
[06:39] <agenthex> maja: Thankfully, bluetooth works (and so does touch in a pinch, but 4K is a bear for accuracy), and I have plenty of USB gear.
[06:41] <maja> agenthex: your better posting on the foraums for this btw
[06:41] <agenthex> The funny thing is that dmesg doesn't have anything pertaining to "touchpad" or "synaptics" despite the fact that lsusb shows a Synaptics, Inc. device.
[06:42] <agenthex> I'll take it to the forums.
[06:43] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm i was thinking of installing ubuntu to my Lenovo MIIX 310-10ICR Pro but after your story agenthex i´m hesistating....

[06:44] <maja> agenthex: yeah that adtional mouse control package is what i think you need, i just can't remember its name but i used it before and sorted out lots of problems
[06:44] <maja> Schnabeltierchen: he says it works great apart from the touch pad, do you got the same touch pad
[06:45] <agenthex> I installed xf86-input-synaptics and even a psmouse-alps package, as per online discussion.  Haven't hit that holy grail yet.
[06:45] <Schnabeltierchen> don´t exactly know... i didn´t examined it this far... but i think it´s connected with usb, cause i can deattach the keyboard/touchpad part....
[06:45] <maja> pconwell: thats because it no longer matters, it used to be a movie was a large file, now with databases over a peka byte they are small files, i'd say go with a raid array
[06:46] <maja> Schnabeltierchen: why not try it on a usb boot ?
[06:46] <pconwell> raid w/ ext4?
[06:47] <maja> agenthex:, psmouse... mabye foraums is a better bet then your not depending on whom ever is awake at this time of day
[06:47] <maja> pconwell: thats what i would go for
[06:47] <pconwell> maja: cool thanks!
[06:47] <Schnabeltierchen> cause i´m lacking an micro-usb-otg-adapter....
[06:47] <maja> though raid these days can be done over many types of formats
[06:48] <maja> Schnabeltierchen: no usb ports on the thing ? just plug in a thumb drive
[06:48] <Schnabeltierchen> the tablet part of this combo doesn´t have a fullsized usb-slot...
[06:48] <Schnabeltierchen> and i´m hesistating to boot over those foldable usb-slots on the keyboard....
[06:48] <maja> Schnabeltierchen: ahhh i see the problem, no micro sd card slot ?
[06:49] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm... that would be a solution...
[06:49] <maja> Schnabeltierchen: if its just to boot up for a test of default drivers any port will work, but just know usb 2 will mean the system runs a bit slower then it would with a normal install
[06:50] <Schnabeltierchen> but i will wait for my micro-usb-otg-adapter with attached network-contoller arrives for plugging it into ethernet to do an backup with clonezilla
[06:50] <agenthex> Schnabeltierchen: I don't think you'll have a problem installing or getting even somewhat older hardware supported.
[06:51] <Schnabeltierchen> i´ll do a backup for sure before trying to mess up anything on the device :P
[06:51] <Schnabeltierchen> i love backups :)
[06:51] <agenthex> Installation hasn't been the problem.  Like I said, this is a super-new laptop.  Eventually, they'll figure out the issue.
[06:51] <agenthex> Always do a backup./
[06:51] <Schnabeltierchen> i´m running a pxe server with clonezilla in my network
[06:52] <Schnabeltierchen> very fast backups from every system :)
[06:52] <Schnabeltierchen> saves me a lot of problems
[06:52] <Schnabeltierchen> did something wrong with the pc? just boot with pxe and restore a saved backup
[06:54] <Schnabeltierchen> the lenovo miix got an 64gb emmc storage with preinstalled/activated windows and a restore partition and stuff... i´ll mess this up for sure when i try to install ubuntu :P
[06:58] <Schnabeltierchen> nevermind got it nearly running "sudo service jdownloader status" gives me   "*  is running" it´s something :P
[07:04] <Mittens> hello I have a hp laptop with windows 10
[07:04] <Mittens> my usb flash drive 3.0 with 128gb is available
[07:05] <Mittens> how do I install ubuntu, do I just go to ubuntu site and start downloading or am I supposed to do something with windows10 first
[07:05] <Mittens> I don't need to keep windows 10
[07:05] <Mittens> frakking slow and constant updates anyway, I HATE IT
[07:06] <Schnabeltierchen> okay, no problem... you need your usb drive to act as an install-medium
[07:06] <Mittens> yes sir
[07:07] <Schnabeltierchen> Mittens: there is an windows tool https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ which enables your usb-drive to be an install medium
[07:07] <Mittens> I see
[07:09] <Schnabeltierchen> most steps self explaining... select linux distro (ubuntu) if iso file isnt already downloaded, it will provide you with a link to download the iso file, then select the iso file, select your usb drive and go (you may install ubuntu directly on the drive, so you can use you windows from the hdd and boot ubuntu from the stick)
[07:09] <Schnabeltierchen> second step: insert the usb drive in the laptop and boot from usb
[07:09] <Schnabeltierchen> then the ubutu setup should appear and guide you through the process
[07:09] <Mittens> sir
[07:10] <Mittens> I'm looking hard to for the ubuntu distro
[07:10] <Mittens> on the link u provided
[07:10] <Schnabeltierchen> open the programm
[07:10] <Mittens> I don't see one for flash drive install for ubuntu
[07:10] <Schnabeltierchen> it will give you the link
[07:10] <Schnabeltierchen> 0.o
[07:10] <Mittens> ohh
[07:11] <Mittens> "universal USB installer 1.9.7.8.exe" sir?
[07:11] <Schnabeltierchen> https://www.pendrivelinux.com/wp-content/uploads/Universal-USB-Installer.png <--- top right... if no file-path to an iso is given, you can acces this link to download the iso
[07:12] <Schnabeltierchen> yep download this exe on your windows 10 laptop
[07:12] <Schnabeltierchen> and start it with admin rights
[07:12] <Mittens> um it finished downlading and options are Run Open Folder View Downloadsd
[07:12] <Mittens> I don't know how to start it with admin rights.. do I just choose Run?
[07:12] <Schnabeltierchen> run :)
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> ah no
[07:13] <Mittens> thank you
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> open folder
[07:13] <Mittens> WOOPS
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> rightclick
[07:13] <Mittens> do I go back? it says "do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device"
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> it should work even without admin rights, but just to be sure...
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> allow this app
[07:13] <Schnabeltierchen> allow it and if it starts close it
[07:14] <Schnabeltierchen> open the folder you saved it into
[07:14] <Schnabeltierchen> rightclick the file and search for "run as admin" or something in this meaning
[07:14] <Mittens> well the set up window is open
[07:14] <Schnabeltierchen> first the dropdown menu
[07:14] <Mittens> yes!
[07:14] <Mittens> many sorts of ubuntu..
[07:15] <Mittens> ubuntu, ubuntu budgie, edubuntu. kubuntu.. lunbuntu.. etc
[07:15] <Mittens> I chose the Unbuntu 32/64 bit
[07:15] <SchrodingersScat> xubuntu
[07:15] <Mittens> I guess it includes all
[07:15] <Mittens> use xubuntu?
[07:15] <Schnabeltierchen> they mostly differ from the installed desktop enviroments... and installed packages
[07:15] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: it's personal opinion, but I like it.
[07:16] <Schnabeltierchen> you told me your laptop would be slow... so i would suggest "lubuntu" cause it sould have the smallest hardware footprint....
[07:16] <Mittens> I was asked o download ubuntu as a project
[07:17] <Schnabeltierchen> lubuntu uses the same core as ubuntu, but mhm... if you´re familiar with android "another launcher"....
[07:17] <SchrodingersScat> different styles, flavours, etc.
[07:17] <Mittens> i chose "ubuntu"
[07:18] <Mittens> nd step 2 says select r ubuntu desktop iso
[07:18] <Schnabeltierchen> ubuntu has a more fancy launcher wich will take up more system ressources... but it´s your choice
[07:18] <Mittens> it mskes me browse
[07:18] <Mittens> I see
[07:19] <Mittens> I'm trying to get it just the same as folks in this room
[07:19] <Mittens> sorry not this room
[07:19] <Mittens> but other peeps I know
[07:19] <SchrodingersScat> Schnabeltierchen: I would think it would be on par or better than win10 though, but I haven't checked this
[07:19] <Mittens> by the way I don't want to keep win10
[07:19] <Schnabeltierchen> yeah, but he told us, his windows 10 would run slow.... so i thought something more lightweight would be good...
[07:19] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: you did a backup of any personal files though?
[07:20] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: and by backup I mean multiple copies, because please don't lose anything that would bring you to tears.
[07:20] <Schnabeltierchen> allways correct me when i´m wrong
[07:20] <Mittens> schrodinger: this laptop I bought for this purpose, no personal files
[07:20] <Mittens> but thank u!!
[07:21] <Schnabeltierchen> is your laptop an x64 or x86?
[07:21] <SchrodingersScat> Schnabeltierchen: well, Mittens can do a test during the liveusb boot, even though it will be slower because it runs off usb, you can still get a general idea?
[07:22] <Mittens> Schnabeltierchen:ummm 64-bit
[07:22] <Mittens> x64- based processor
[07:22] <Schnabeltierchen> mhm lubuntu supports a live boot from usb too, if i rememer right... so he could test both...
[07:22] <Mittens> AMD a6-7310 HP
[07:22] <Schnabeltierchen> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/17.04/release/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso would be the link to the iso you need....
[07:22] <Mittens> with AMD Radeon R4
[07:23] <SchrodingersScat> Schnabeltierchen: think most do, except server and mini.iso xubuntu is my go-to for diagnostic liveusb :^)
[07:23] <Mittens> oh ok thanku, I will download that now
[07:23] <Schnabeltierchen> you got another system beside the laptop, right mittens?
[07:23] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: that's lubuntu, just a note
[07:23] <Mittens> I don't want lubuntu
[07:23] <Mittens> I want ubuntu
[07:24] <Mittens> xD
[07:24] <Mittens> schnabeltierchen: yep I do
[07:24] <Mittens> this laptop is for ubuntu and studying coding xD
[07:25] <Schnabeltierchen> Mittens http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/mirror/ubuntu/releases/16.04.2/ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso would be a link to a mirror for Ubuntu
[07:25] <SchrodingersScat> http://mirror.pnl.gov/releases/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso is one link then, https://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[07:25] <SchrodingersScat> Schnabeltierchen: hmm, why suggest the 17.04 for lubuntu but the 16.04 for ubuntu?
[07:25] <Schnabeltierchen> i just looked upon the sites for the newest isos...
[07:26] <Mittens> thank you guys
[07:26]  * Mittens attempts to download
[07:26] <Schnabeltierchen> i don´t know why they released the 17.04 images of lubuntu and the 16.04 for ubuntu
[07:26] <SchrodingersScat> 17.04 is out for ubuntu
[07:26] <SchrodingersScat> personal choice on if you want to use a non LTS, but it's out
[07:27] <Schnabeltierchen> sorry Mittens!!! i didn´t saw the button https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?version=17.04&architecture=amd64 is the new one
[07:27] <Schnabeltierchen> 17.04 ubuntu is available too :)
[07:28] <SchrodingersScat> Schnabeltierchen: yeah, if you're looking on ubuntu.com then I think they list the LTS first, because that's the more ... long term
[07:28] <Mittens> I'm confused.. am I supposed to download that iso onto my computer first?
[07:28] <Mittens> my laptop?
[07:29] <Schnabeltierchen> you need to download the iso files on your computer
[07:29] <Mittens> perfect
[07:29] <Schnabeltierchen> stick your usb-drive insde the computer
[07:29] <Schnabeltierchen> start the programm
[07:29] <Mittens> thanku for the confirm
[07:29] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: to get a liveUSB then download the iso to your main computer, and I believe you installed the tool to put the image on the cd earlier in chat.  Then you can use that tool to place it on the usb drive and then place the usb drive in the laptop and attempt to boot from it.
[07:29] <Schnabeltierchen> chose ubuntu, select the iso, select the usb drive and go
[07:29] <Mittens> ahhh makes sense!
[07:29] <Mittens> thank you guys will try now! <3 <3
[07:30] <SchrodingersScat> I guess you could also do that from the laptop if it has a working windows, but meh sometimes you need to re-do things so it's probably easier to have it on a system you're not overwriting.
[07:31] <Schnabeltierchen> for starters an iso file is like "ziping" and cd/dvd to a single file... this iso file you´re downloading contains the installer cd/dvd for ubuntu
[07:32] <Schnabeltierchen> the programm extracts it to your usb drive and sets it to act like it would be an usb-cd-drive with the inserted ubuntu cd
[07:32] <Mittens> cool
[07:32] <Schnabeltierchen> you understood my gibberish?
[07:33] <Schnabeltierchen> yeay :)
[07:33] <Mittens> I think I intuitively got the gist of it I thinnnnkkkk?
[07:33] <Mittens> xD
[07:33] <Mittens> ummm
[07:33] <Mittens> is it normal that it takes more than an hour?
[07:33] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: you can use the torrent off the site if the direct download is too slow 4 you
[07:34] <SchrodingersScat> http://releases.ubuntu.com/17.04/ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[07:34] <Mittens> I don't mind being slow, but curious, do I need a torrent app? in order to torrent off?
[07:35] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: yeah, windows doesn't have a torrent client by default.
[07:35] <Mittens> was just wondering if I'm downloading normally, the amount of time is not suspicious huh?
[07:35] <Schnabeltierchen> it depends on your internet-connection... it´s about 1,5gb....
[07:35] <Schnabeltierchen> ah now i see... the dl is getting slow...
[07:35] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: you can choose another mirror perhaps. Up to you.
[07:36] <Schnabeltierchen> which browser are you using on your computer?
[07:36] <Mittens> explorer
[07:36] <Mittens> I'm talking to u guys on my chromebook
[07:36] <SchrodingersScat> Mittens: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors
[07:36] <Mittens> and my hp laptop is downloadin
[07:36] <Mittens> what's that?
[07:36] <SchrodingersScat> list of all official ubuntu mirrors that you can try
[07:36] <Mittens> am I supposed to click that now?
[07:37] <Mittens> on the hp laptop?
[07:37] <Schnabeltierchen> it´s a list of some server hosting the iso file
[07:37] <Schnabeltierchen> you can choose one near your location
[07:37] <Mittens> is this in order to speed up the download?
[07:37] <Mittens> if so, oh my gosh guys I don't mind waitin
[07:37] <SchrodingersScat> correct, if one server is being slow for you, you're welcome to try another
[07:37] <Schnabeltierchen> near you location = less distance to travel in internet => faster download (in most cases)
[07:37] <Mittens> ohhhh
[07:38] <Mittens> I.. I'm afraid to mess it up xD
[07:38] <SchrodingersScat> and true, I also don't know your location
[07:38] <Mittens> hehe you guys, thanx a bunch
[07:38] <Mittens> you guys rock!
[07:38] <Mittens> already at 10% WOOT WOOT
[07:39] <Mittens> I'm gonna learn a little codin too, at codeacademy.com :3
[07:39] <Schnabeltierchen> learing is always a good thing....
[07:39] <Mittens> starting with html and css, I was told to learn PHP but other people told me to start with HTML and CSS first
[07:39] <Mittens> thanx guyz
[07:39] <Mittens> hopefully in 5 years, I will recognize most lingos xD
[07:40] <SchrodingersScat> welcome, feel free to ask about any snags you hit.
[07:40] <Mittens> *bows* (__)
[07:40] <Mittens> (__)
[07:44] <Schnabeltierchen> in 5 years i´ll come to you, asking you to build me a cool homepage :P
[07:45] <Mittens> awww omyyy goshhhhh :... D
[07:45] <Mittens> daww Schnabeltierchen <3
[07:46] <Schnabeltierchen> keep up learning until then, cause it shall be a damn cool homepage!
[07:46] <Mittens> xD
[07:46] <Mittens> <3 will dooo
[08:52] <chilversc> what is the correct way to recover from a full boot partition, every time I try apt-get remove/purge on an old linux image I get the error gzip: stdout: No space left on device
[08:54] <SwedeMike> chilversc: I have been successful with "apt-get autoremove" when that happened. I don't know why yours doesn't work the same way. Did you try to remove the last version installed (that caused the partition to be full)
[08:54] <chilversc> no, because that's the latest version, I'm trying to remove the oldest versions
[08:56] <chilversc> though removing the latest also causes the same problem
[09:00] <Murii> Does: /proc/acpi/battery exist for ya?
[09:02] <lotuspsychje> chilversc: i like to clean out system with bleachbit
[09:08] <chilversc> manually deleting an initrd file worked
[09:09] <chilversc> have to say as an end user, this is a terrible experience that the updater will silently run boot out of space then wedge itself such that it can't recover
[09:10] <Ben64> yep
[09:10] <Ben64> it should make much larger boot partitions by default
[09:12] <Mrokii> Hello. This is only slightly Ubuntu-related. I want to format an USB stick to use it for data exchange with a windows-machine. I am trying to create a new partition table but am unsure if I should use GPT or ms-dos as partition-type.
[09:13] <EriC^^> Mrokii: ms-dos would be better for portability and working on more machines
[09:13] <EriC^^> Mrokii: the limitation is you can't have a single bigger than 2tb partition
[09:14] <chilversc> Ben64: that just delays the problem, it should be able to remove an old image (that's just a delete)
[09:15] <chilversc> and if there is insufficent space it shouldn't install anything, rather than use the remaining space then break
[09:15] <Mittens> SchrodingersSCat are u still around?
[09:15] <Mrokii> EriC^^: Thanks. The limitation is no problem.
[09:21] <Mittens> I'm at step 3 of ubuntu installation using universal USB installer, guys.. and I'm confused
[09:21] <Mittens> #3 says "select the drive letter of your USB"  and has an option for "now showing all drives"
[09:21] <Mittens> when I look at the list under #3, I see  two options
[09:21] <Mittens> G:\ 115GB FAT32 FDD
[09:21] <Mittens> D:\ RECOVERY 13GB NTFS HDD
[09:21] <Mittens> o.O
[09:21] <Mittens> whoa I FOUND OUT I think
[09:21] <EriC^^> Mrokii: no problem
[09:21] <Mittens> when I removed the external flash drive, G:\ 115GB FAT32 FDD disappeared from the options
[09:21] <Mittens> so it must be this one (weirdly named! why not just sandisk flash drive? o.O )
[09:21] <Mittens> WHOA
[09:21] <Mittens> after I chose the G:\115GB FAT32 FDD, it shows more options:
[09:21] <Mittens> NTFS Format Drive (Erases Content)
[09:21] <Mittens> and then second option is
[09:21] <Mittens> Fat32 Format Drive (Erases Content)
[09:21] <Mittens> wtheck..
[09:21] <Mittens> I will just go with Fat32 Format Drive
[09:21] <Mittens> see.. wat happens I guess ><
[09:22] <Ben64> chilversc: sudo apt-get autoremove
[09:31] <Mittens> Hello, I have another question. I think I managed to download UBUNTU unto my sandisk USB flash drive. umm... what do I do now? my OS on my laptop is till windows 10.. am I supposed to restart the laptop?
[09:36] <sewerrat> Hey, could anyone send me a paste with minidlna.conf? accidentally deleted mine.

[09:59] <Schnabeltierchen> Mittens still problem with the usb-drive?
[09:59] <Mittens> yes
[10:00] <Mittens> I think I downloaded something that I was supposed to onto the usb-drive
[10:00] <Schnabeltierchen> ah okay, did the programm put the iso on the usb drive?
[10:00] <Mittens> I think.. I'm not sure how to check it
[10:02] <Schnabeltierchen> are there files on it?
[10:02] <Schnabeltierchen> folders like "boot" and stuff?
[10:05] <marvin42> hi, I'm trying to install the MEGA client on Lubuntu 17.04 and Gdebi says that dependences are unmet.
[10:06] <Mittens> checking
[10:07] <marvin42> Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.0)
[10:10] <Mittens> :(
[10:11] <Mittens> I cant figure it out... thanks for helping mee I wil have to retry tomorrow coz its 3am here... gnite and thanku god bless
[10:11] <mcphail> marvin42: if you're installing a random deb on your machine, you'll need to hunt down and fix the dependencies youraelf. you can expect to break your system in the process. Such things aren't supported here, for obvious reasons
[10:12] <necrophcodr> marvin42, the file should be there. Have you running `apt update` first?
[10:12] <necrophcodr> afaik 17.04 has libqt5core5a 5.7.1
[10:15] <marvin42> necrophcodr, I did update and upgrade
[10:17] <necrophcodr> marvin42, what is the output of "apt-cache show libqt5core5a | grep '^Version'"?
[10:23] <marvin42> necrophcodr, Version: 5.6.1+dfsg-3ubuntu6~4
[10:23] <marvin42> necrophcodr, I think I've got this one, thanks :)
[10:24] <kristhian> hello guys, i am having hard time installing mysql-server in my ubuntu 14.04 trusty
[10:24] <necrophcodr> marvin42, you might want to try using the version for Ubuntu 16.10 instead, or 16.04. It doesn't appear that Lubuntu 17.04 has the latest Ubuntu 17.04 packages, or you're not using Lubuntu 17.04.
[10:24] <kristhian> followed this steps

[10:24] <kristhian> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25176078/
[10:25] <necrophcodr> kristhian, did you try to remove the files as mentioned? or do you have important database data already installed?
[10:25] <kristhian> necrophcodr, yes
[10:25] <kristhian> i did remove the file
[10:26] <kristhian> and follwed this steps after
[10:26] <kristhian> https://askubuntu.com/questions/652745/mysql-did-not-install-properly-and-now-i-can-not-use-the-software-center-or-remo
[10:26] <kristhian> but still it gets the same error
[10:27] <marvin42> necrophcodr, yeah, I thought I was using 17.04. Nevertheless, I just learned what grep does. It was worth it in the end. Thanks a lot!
[10:28] <necrophcodr> kristhian, and you did the whole clean, update, install -f, dpkg-reconfigure -a thing?
[10:28] <kristhian> yes
[10:28] <necrophcodr> marvin42, no problem
[10:28] <kristhian> dpg-reconfigure does not work for me tho
[10:29] <necrophcodr> kristhian, how does it not work?
[10:29] <kristhian> oh
[10:29] <kristhian> i missed an n
[10:39] <kristhian> i think i completely broke my installs
[10:39] <necrophcodr> kristhian, how come?
[10:40] <kristhian> apache2 does not work anymore either
[10:40] <kristhian> because of mysql
[10:40] <necrophcodr> kristhian, did you finish running the dpkg-configure -a command?
[10:40] <kristhian> yes
[10:41] <necrophcodr> kristhian, any errors or warnings?
[10:41] <adroit_machine> hi, Distro: kubuntu 14.04. Problem: wifi connection is not persistent. Wifi connection is lost after 10 minutes or so. Need help please
[10:42] <kristhian> it restarted apache but it fails
[10:42] <adroit_machine> is it a problem related to linux kernel. would updating it would rectify this error?
[10:43] <kristhian> then i tried activating apache but i couldnt
[10:43] <kristhian> tried uninstalling it, but i cant as well
[10:45] <necrophcodr> kristhian, i'm not sure how to go from there i'm afraid.
[10:46] <necrophcodr> kristhian, do you have the output of the dpkg-reconfigure -a command? you might to to post it here using pastebin.com
[10:46] <kristhian> necrophcodr, ill try again
[10:51] <kristhian> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25176182/ necrophcodr
[10:52] <necrophcodr> kristhian, apache is complaining about syntax errors
[10:52] <necrophcodr> have you looked on line 219 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as it mentions?
[10:52] <necrophcodr> what does it say?
[10:52] <Apachez> how do I remove the stepsize from the volumeslider in ubuntu 17.04?
[10:52] <pabed> I installed L2tp Ipsec vpn client on ubuntu 16.04(https://paste.linux.community/view/274580c7) and I could  create a L2tp connection in network but when I want to connect it , there is no happens and no error , just In log it said  no active connection or device.
[10:53] <kristhian> aw i deleted that one
[10:56] <goudkov> on Ubuntu 16.04. i touch /forcefsck. then reboot. but after a reboot, tune2fs still shows old "last checked" time. is there a way to make sure fsck was run?
[10:59] <dorico> How can i get the entire disk size ?
[10:59] <kristhian> ok, i deleted successfully apache
[10:59] <EriC^^> dorico: sudo parted -l
[10:59] <dorico> i tried with df -m but here are many mount points
[10:59] <dorico> i m talking about a virtual machine hosted on Azure cloud
[11:00] <EriC^^> dorico: it might list it
[11:00] <dorico> i was looking for something more accurate than the manual sum of all mount points
[11:00] <EriC^^> dorico: there's also cat /proc/partitions
[11:01] <EriC^^> dorico: the first one isn't the sum of the partitions i think
[11:02] <harris0n> Hi everyone. I'm running 12.04 on a server that I don't want to upgrade right now. I read about Ubuntu Advantage / ESM that gives paying customers extra security support for 12.04. But I can't buy it on the website, it says I need at least $2500, where a single server license costs $750. Is there any way around this?
[11:02] <dorico> thanks . parted -l did the trick
[11:02] <EriC^^> no problem
[11:03] <oerheks> harris0n, no, 12.04 is dead, EOL, for advantage itself contact canonical directly?
[11:05] <BluesKaj> Hey folks

[11:25] <gatolinux> .
[11:27] <gatolinux> Good morning! Ubuntu novice question: Canonical supports (paid support) Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 LTS (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/server)... the same ISO we can download for free?
[11:29] <BluesKaj> gatolinux, does it ask for money or cc ? If not then it's free ;-0
[11:30] <oerheks> gatolinux, sure, it is the same iso.
[11:31] <Firefly67> After rebooting my desktop, I can't do anything because I get the message "Could not update ICEauthority file". I saw some threads on askubuntu which suggest performing certain fixes, but I can't run any sudo commands as I don't have root authority
[11:31] <gatolinux> So, great! It's because I was looking for a distribution I use and support but to escalate major incidents to the Vendor (Canonical). In this case Ubuntu is the right one (discarding CentOS/openSUSE).
[11:31] <Firefly67> is there something I can do here, or should I go to the system administrator?
[11:33] <gatolinux> Firefly67... It seems you need troubleshooting from single user mode.
[11:34] <oerheks> Firefly67, old bug 9after upgrade) easy fix> login, and run sudo chown $USER:$USER ~/.ICEauthority
[11:34] <oerheks> or just remove it > :  rm .ICEauthority
[11:34] <Firefly67> I don't even seem to have that file
[11:35] <Firefly67> which directory is it supposed to be in?
[11:35] <BluesKaj> Firefly67, ~/.ICEauthority
[11:35] <oerheks> see the . in fornt of the name = hidden, hit ctrl + H to see hidden files in your filemanager
[11:36] <Firefly67> when I do pwd in the terminal, I see just "/"
[11:36] <Firefly67> when you ask me to login, what do you mean? Do I login again in the terminal? I have logged in through the graphical interface (?), and opened a terminal
[11:37] <Firefly67> when I do "ls .ICEauthority", it says "no such file or directory"
[11:38] <BluesKaj> Firefly67, just run the command oerheks gave you in a terminal
[11:40] <Firefly67> again, it says I am not in the sudoers file
[11:40] <Firefly67> I can't run any sudo command
[11:41] <oerheks> that iceauthority is just a cookie-jar.
[11:48] <_pronet_> #ubuntu
[12:28] <bipul> Hello. I am facing this issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/339702/network-service-discovery-disabled-what-does-this-mean-for-me
[12:29] <bipul> Only for 30 seconds internet connectivity is there, after that i am unable to access internet.
[12:45] <thebwt> Firefly67: what's the error?
[12:50] <tangarora> ping
[12:51] <sewerrat> Hey trying to spin up up my ubuntu server, but it gets stuck on Started Cleanup of temporary directories and has  been stuck there for 2 hours now. Any clue? i still got SSH access.
[12:54] <tomreyn> sewerrat: check the output of 'dmesg'
[12:56] <tomreyn> sewerrat: also: sudo less /var/log/syslog (press shift-g to go to the end of this file, q to quit)
[12:57] <_pronet_> Adios Mi amigos
[13:01] <sewerrat> hmm there is something there, let me check, give me a couple of minutes
[13:05] <sewerrat> http://dpaste.com/1XBWEP8 this is what i can find within  /var/log/syslog
[13:09] <tomreyn> sewerrat: that's just a warning, should not cause any 'freeze'. you could discuss more what freezes there, and how you can still access the system via ssh when it freezes.
[13:11] <sewerrat> I have a pc in a seperate room with ubuntu server running on it + keyboard + monitor and that is where it freezes, works fine to ssh into it from another pc.
[13:13] <tomreyn> so maybe it just doesn't show the login prompt on tty
[13:15] <sewerrat> Perhaps
[13:17] <elit3x> I am running Ubuntu(17.04) in VirtualBox(5.1.24) ... I have followed many tutorials, but i can not get Unity 3D supported to yes. I have installed build-essential and also the VBox additions. Any other tips please!?
[13:17] <elit3x> not sure if it matters i have KDE and plasma installed also
[13:19] <oerheks> elit3x, check the vbox settings manager, give more mem to GPU, and maybe add more cpu cores to your vbox-instance, and enable 3d
[13:19] <oerheks> GPU wants 256 mb
[13:19] <oerheks> *minimum
[13:20] <elit3x> oerheks: video memory is maxed out at 128mb .. i have it set to 2 cores.
[13:20] <oerheks> oh, not sure 128 is enough for unity, i think not.
[13:20] <elit3x> when i enable 3d in vbox everything stops working :(
[13:23] <tomreyn> use a different window manager then, one that is less deamanding and works fine with just 2D, such as xfce. apt-get install xubuntu.
[13:28] <elit3x> tomreyn:  So xfce would replace KDE or plasma correct? Sorry im new and trying to understand... if i run the apt-get that will replace my current window manager
[13:30] <oerheks> i would make a fresh vbox instance with xubuntu, ubuntu mate or ubuntubudgie, no cluther from unity in that
[13:32] <elit3x> ok thanks
[13:32] <tomreyn> elit3x: installing the 'xubuntu' meta package would add a new window manager option to the login menu to choose from. it would not remove unity off the VM.
[13:33] <sewerrat> ddd
[13:33] <elit3x> if i start fresh vbox i must install ubuntu first, and then xubuntu correct
[13:34] <oerheks> elit3x, no, just download the Xubuntu iso
[13:34] <Wanter> After the screen locked and I want to login again it isn't possible. There is only a black screen with the pointer than!!!+
[13:34] <Wanter> What cab i dO?
[13:35] <elit3x> thanks oerheks & tomreyn ill give that a shot
[13:36] <marvin42> using dd to create a bootable usb stick requires de bs argument? how can I find the appropriate block size?
[13:37] <oerheks> Wanter, try: hit ctrl alt F2, you see a black screen withinlog, hit ctrl alt F7 to return to the gui, does it show?
[13:37] <oerheks> marvin42, bs=1M or bs=4M will do fine
[13:37] <marvin42> oerheks, with any pendrive?
[13:38] <Wanter> Yes it show!!!
[13:38] <oerheks> marvin42, sure, from 1 Gb and up
[13:38] <oerheks> Wanter, good, have fun!
[13:38] <marvin42> oerheks, thanks!
[13:47] <marvin42> after the bios startup, pressing Shift doesn't show the GRUB menu. Is there any way I can edit /etc/default/grub to make the menu appear on every startup?
[13:52] <Esti_Qatzi> marvin42: comment the two lines with grub_hidden_something
[13:52] <Esti_Qatzi> i did it 5 minutes ago
[13:52] <marvin42> Esti_Qatzi, thanks!
[13:54] <Wanter> The problem exist anymore: After the screen locked and I want back into ubuntu I can't there is only a pointer but no login screen or anything more!
[13:57] <marvin42> Esti_Qatzi, it didn't work
[14:14] <zanshin> I'm installing 17.04 on an ASUS Q325. I updated the BIOS, I went into the BIOS and turned off Secure Boot, and I resized Windows 10 to make 256G of room. Ubuntu installed, but hangs on the first boot. If I restart the machine it comues up after a 20-30 second delay. Each subsequent boot also hangs for an extended period of time. Something isn't right but I'm at a loss as to what it could be. Any ideas?
[14:15] <zanshin> For what it's worth the Windows 10 partition boots almost immediately
[14:30] <ShishKabab> I'm creating a service that provides users with GPG keys they use to sign verifications about other users on other servers using Node.js. Now I'm trying to generate the keys by calling the gpg2 command, but it's asking me to generate entropy. I'm generating entropy already on the client-side with a JS crypto lib. Is there some way to feed those bits into gpg2?
[14:30] <tomreyn> zanshin: maybe it's checking file systems while it seems to hang? though it would normally show that. you could hit escape when it hangs to see where it hangs.
[14:31] <zanshin> tomreyn: Hitting escape just nets me a blank screen.
[14:31] <zanshin> Grub is working, I can select Ubuntu or Windows, and Ubuntu does eventually start up
[14:32] <Wanter> Again: I canÄ
[14:32] <tomreyn> zanshin: maybe hold down shoift during boot and try the recovery option, then 'resume', this should also provide textual output.
[14:32] <Wanter> Again: I can't login after the screen shut down!
[14:32] <Wanter> I see only a black screen with a pointer but no login screen!
[14:32] <oerheks> Wanter, i gave you a fix, not a fix that it would not happen again..
[14:33] <Wanter> ctrl + alt + F2 is ok
[14:33] <oerheks> disable screensaver and energy settings
[14:33] <Wanter> But I can'T ctrl + alt + F7
[14:34] <Wanter> I want use energy settings!
[14:34] <Wanter> How can I repair screensaver?
[14:34] <marvin42> I'm trying to create a bootable pendrive with Ubuntu 17.04 from a Lubuntu 16.10 installation. I've used both dd and unetbootin. The former produces a blank screen and the latter echoes a statement "Operative system missing". What can I do?
[14:35] <oerheks> marvin42, 16.10 is dead, eol, use a supported ubuntuversion, 16.04 or 17.04
[14:35] <genii> marvin42: Use the dd, and try nomodeset to get rid of the blank screen
[14:35] <oerheks> Wanter, your issue is something withthe gpu driver, not screensaver.
[14:35] <genii> !nomodeset
[14:36] <marvin42> genii, how can I access the boot options inside the pendrive?
[14:36] <genii> You add it to the kernel load line during boot, the bot's link has instructions
[14:37] <marvin42> genii, GRUB doesn't show anything on startup
[14:38] <marvin42> genii, so how can I add the line? I'm unable to access the GRUB menu during boot
[14:41] <marvin42> genii, it goes blank right after the BIOS splash screen
[14:42] <oerheks> keep repeatedly pressing shift would give the grubmenu
[14:42] <oerheks> don't keep it pressed
[14:43] <genii> Can't remember how to access boot options in isolinux atm
[14:46] <zanshin> tomreyn: Running an fsck in recovery mode produces some error messages about encryption (Dependency failed for Encrypted Volumes, etc.) I selected to have my home encrypted during install. I'm guessing it's not loading properly. I may re-install without an encrypted home to see if that fixes the problem. Thanks
[14:58] <jscatala> hello! I have an ubuntu machine where I want to login with two users that share same home folder with either password or ssh key. Currently it only asks for password and does not work my ssh key. This is the output and ssd_config file https://pastebin.com/dGgTEHE8
[15:01] <marvin42> oerheks, pressing the shift key doesn't work. All I get is a blank screen after the BIOS splash
[15:04] <marvin42> genii, the isolinux line doesn't appear after the BIOS splash. Could it be something wrong with the pendrive?
[15:08] <Hejkki> howdy.
[15:08] <Hejkki> is it possible to password protect a directory in Ubuntu?
[15:09] <Hejkki> for example to open it on boot time or later with a password
[15:10] <scottjl> Hejkki: yes.
[15:10] <Hejkki> well thanks :)
[15:10] <Hejkki> how? =)
[15:11] <scottjl> Hejkki: you might find this useful https://linoxide.com/ubuntu-how-to/two-methods-to-protect-your-data-using-ubuntu-disk-encryption/
[15:11] <scottjl> make that directory its own partition.
[15:11] <Hejkki> oh, need to re-partition then?
[15:12] <Hejkki> lemme see the tutorial, thanks
[15:12] <scottjl> well for that method. yes.
[15:12] <Hejkki> ok
[15:12] <scottjl> there are many ways to accomplish what you're asking. i just gave you a reference to one.
[15:12] <Hejkki> ok, thanks
[15:13] <Hejkki> i will consider on crypting /home
[15:13] <scottjl> Hejkki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedHome
[15:13] <scottjl> be careful, there are downfalls to encrypting home
[15:14] <Hejkki> ok, i see... i do not have crontab, i do not have ssh public key authentication to my laptio
[15:15] <Hejkki> laptop*
[15:18] <Kali_Yuga> where should i go with internet problems. my inet connection drops every few minutes...
[15:19] <Hejkki> might be a driver problem? I have a similar wifi problem, and still they havent fixed it in ubuntu
[15:20] <Hejkki> i need to download a different driver for ubuntu to use wifi
[15:20] <Hejkki> it connects but drops later
[15:20] <oerheks> lots of connection issues happen with wireless N, try to trottle down to wifi A/B/G
[15:20] <Hejkki> but works fine with the driver
[15:20] <Hejkki> :)
[15:22] <Kali_Yuga> Hejkki: The problem didn't occur before. I don't think it has anything to do with my ubuntu... my ubuntu's fine. I was just thinking maybe somebody would know what would cause something like this
[15:24] <Kali_Yuga> I'm conneted to my router but every few minutes I lose connection. wich makes talking or multiplayer almost impossible
[15:25] <oerheks> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure
[15:25] <marvin42> oerheks, genii : I've tried with a different pen drive -> same problem
[15:25] <Kali_Yuga> but I lose connection only for a few sec. but thats enough to throw me out of any games or voip programs
[15:30] <drewbug> Anyone familiar with this document? http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140sp/140sp2962.pdf
[15:37] <oerheks> drewbug, it is just a "Cryptographic Module Validation Program" article
[15:38] <drewbug> Made by Ubuntu. I'm wondering if those packages are actually available.
[15:39] <drewbug> fips-initramfs_0.0.3_amd64.deb and linux-fips_4.4.0.1002.3_amd64.deb
[15:40] <scottjl> apt-cache search fips
[15:44] <oerheks> linux-fips is part of openssl, here is a bugreport for a request https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1553309
[15:47] <drewbug> scottjl: Those packages don't appear in the results of that command
[15:48] <thyriaen> Hi, i got almost 100% cpu load by "rsyslogd" what could be the issue ?
[15:48] <scottjl> drewbug: that was my point. you asked if those packages were available, they aren't in the results list. so the answer would be, no.
[15:48] <drewbug> scottjl: Oh, I see. I figured there might be an alternative distribution system.
[15:49] <scottjl> drewbug: if they're in a ppa then the article should mention it. (sorry i don't have time to read the article)
[15:50] <drewbug> All that's mentioned is: "To download the FIPS validated version of the module, please contact a Canonical representative for the repository path."
[15:51] <nacc> drewbug: so contact Canonical?
[15:55] <codecutter> i need to a place to place all my app images in the file system, where do i place these, images (ubuntu)?
[15:56] <leftyfb> codecutter: an app(package) you are developing?
[15:56] <codecutter> website
[15:56] <codecutter> running on tomcat
[15:58] <leftyfb> codecutter: then that has absolutely nothing to do with the underlying OS and everything to do with how you personally choose to layout your documentroot tree
[15:58] <oerheks> keep it in /var/www/...
[15:59] <leftyfb> the default documentroot for ubuntu these days is /var/www/html
[16:00] <codecutter> '/var/www/images' or '/var/www/html/images'?
[16:00] <scottjl> yes
[16:01] <oerheks> go wild, /var/www/html/my/precious/images/
[16:01] <leftyfb> or /var/www/html/myimages or /var/www/html/myappname/images or /var/www/html/myapp/includes/images ... it's completely up to the developer (you)
[16:02] <nyso> hi there
[16:18] <mguy> What does this error message mean? Running ubuntu 12.04, it's from /var/log/apache2/error.log
[16:18] <mguy> mkbundle: Error 1 decompressing data for I18N.CJK.dll
[16:19] <oerheks> is it worth looking for an answer of an outdated ubuntu version?
[16:19] <oerheks> !12.04
[16:19] <mguy> oerheks: it is when the webserver it's on isn't going to get upgraded to 14
[16:19] <nacc> mguy: it's unsupported
[16:20] <nacc> mguy: here or otherwise, unless you're paying canonical for ESM, in which case that's only for security updates anyways
[16:20] <mguy> Fine. Just figured someone has an idea, google isn't turning up much
[16:22] <kristhian> question is there a way to send mail through a terminal?
[16:23] <scottjl> kristhian: yes
[16:23] <kristhian> im sending mine using mailutils
[16:23] <scottjl> kirb: man mailx
[16:23] <kirb> !
[16:23] <kristhian> mail -t test@mail.com here
[16:23] <scottjl> sorry kristhian man mailx
[16:23] <kristhian> but nothing happens
[16:23] <scottjl> damn tab
[16:23] <Blankspace> Hi
[16:24] <Blankspace> Can anyone help me please
[16:24] <scottjl> maybe, if you tell us what's wrong.
[16:24] <Blankspace> With disk partition
[16:25] <kristhian> so i should just type for example mailx -t mail@tobesent.here
[16:25] <kristhian> then it will give me CC: and Subject:
[16:26] <kristhian> then ctrl + d to send?
[16:26] <scottjl> kristhian: just try "mailx mail@tobesent.here" and it will prompt for subject. then type "blah blah" and a . on a blank line to end and send
[16:26] <scottjl> well a . on a line by itself.
[16:27] <scottjl> you don't need -t unless you're also specifying cc and/or bcc recipients
[16:28] <kristhian> after the .
[16:28] <kristhian> just ctrl + d
[16:28] <scottjl> . by itself should end the email. no need for ctrl-d
[16:29] <kristhian> i did . and enter
[16:29] <kristhian> nothing happens tho
[16:29] <scottjl> on a line by itself?
[16:29] <scottjl> strange. i get EOT and then it sends
[16:30] <leftyfb> kristhian: echo "this is the body of the email" | mail -s "this is the subject" to@someperson.com
[16:30] <leftyfb> Blankspace: the answer is, not until you specify your issue
[16:31] <itdependsnetwork> Any obvious reason ubuntu 14.04.5 dhcp client is not accepting and/or installing default gateway? I can see 'option routers' in the dhclient.eth0.leases file
[16:32] <loppy2> anyone know how to exempt tor service with a hidden service from apparmor?
[16:32] <leftyfb> itdependsnetwork: sounds like a dhcp server problem. I have 14.04 running on many devices and none have your issue
[16:32] <Blankspace> Lefty
[16:32] <Blankspace> Fb
[16:32] <itdependsnetwork> I have many other devices without issue on the isc server
[16:33] <Blankspace> I deleted some disk partition
[16:33] <kristhian> thanks guys, but i think mine couldnt just send emails
[16:33] <itdependsnetwork> ^^ leftyfb:
[16:33] <Blankspace> On booting
[16:33] <Blankspace> It shows
[16:33] <loppy2> https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/22331
[16:33] <Blankspace> Error: no such partition
[16:33] <Blankspace> Grub rescue>
[16:33] <Blankspace> Please help
[16:33] <Blankspace> :(
[16:33] <leftyfb> Blankspace: if you deleted the root partition, your next step is to reinstall ubuntu
[16:34] <Blankspace> I had dual boot
[16:34] <loppy2> i tried this already.. https://askubuntu.com/questions/649497/tor-hidden-service-file-permission-problem
[16:34] <Blankspace> How do I boot to my windows
[16:34] <Blankspace> 7
[16:34] <Blankspace> From grub rescue
[16:34] <leftyfb> Blankspace: go to #windows and ask for help reinstalling the Windows boot loader
[16:35] <Blankspace> They said to ask in linux
[16:35] <leftyfb> Blankspace: if deleted ubuntu and only want Windows on your machine at the moment, then you should be replacing grub with the windows boot loader. At which point, it is a Windows issues and not Ubuntu.
[16:36] <itdependsnetwork> So to clarify many servers using a dhcp server, only issue getting default gateway to set on 14.04.5 ubuntu server
[16:36] <leftyfb> Blankspace: do not ask for help with grub in #windows. You do not need help with grub. You need help reinstalling the Windows boot loader
[16:36] <leftyfb> itdependsnetwork: post your interfaces file to pastebin
[16:38] <Kaedenn1> Having the following error:  virtualbox-5.1 conflicts with virtualbox,  virtualbox-4.3 provides virtualbox and is present and installed.
[16:39] <Kaedenn1> I'm trying to upgrade virtualbox
[16:39] <itdependsnetwork> leftyfb: thanks https://pastebin.com/zii906Am
[16:39] <leftyfb> Kaedenn1: remove all the virtualbox packages you installed from the official repositories and then install from the repo you're attempting to now
[16:40] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: apt-get remove virtualbox, dpkg -i virtualbox-5.deb, basically?
[16:40] <leftyfb> sure
[16:40] <Kaedenn1> or you mean all of them??
[16:41] <Kaedenn1> I wonder if I can update my repos to point at the new version somewhere
[16:41] <kristhian> uhm, another question is there an explanation why mine does not work?
[16:41] <kristhian> but yours does
[16:41] <kristhian> i mean sending mail locally via command line
[16:41] <leftyfb> kristhian: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/04/how-to-install-virtualbox-from-ppa-in.html
[16:42] <leftyfb> oops
[16:42] <leftyfb> Kaedenn1: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2016/04/how-to-install-virtualbox-from-ppa-in.html
[16:42] <leftyfb> kristhian: define not work. What errors are you getting?
[16:42] <kristhian> checking it on my mails
[16:42] <kristhian> didnt recieve any
[16:42] <kristhian> i used gmail and outlook
[16:43] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: this is precisely what I wanted. thank you so much.
[16:43] <leftyfb> kristhian: gmail and outlook are not local mailboxes
[16:43] <Kaedenn1> god #ubuntu is just like a nicer front-end to google, thank you!
[16:44] <kristhian> oh
[16:44] <kristhian> lol
[16:45] <kristhian> i thought that i could send emails locally to gmail and outlook
[16:45] <kristhian> but is there a way to do that?
[16:45] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: apt-add no such command
[16:45] <Kaedenn1> I'm running trusty 14.04
[16:45] <leftyfb> kristhian: you could send email from your machine to outside mailboxes, but you would need some sort of MTA
[16:46] <leftyfb> Kaedenn1: the first comment toward the bottom
[16:46] <kristhian> is there a free MTA that i could use?
[16:46] <kristhian> to send outside mailboxes?
[16:47] <leftyfb> kristhian: you can setup your machine to use your gmail account
[16:47] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: thank you
[16:48] <JonelethIrenicus> how can i set scaling for gnome apps in kde
[16:48] <leftyfb> kristhian: or use an installed MTA like postfix but most properly configured email servers will block or mark as spam email sent from consumer internet connections with dynamic ip addresses as opposed to static ip
[16:49] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: and that worked nicely. thank you!
[16:49] <JonelethIrenicus> i set export GDK_SCALE=2 in my .bashrc
[16:49] <JonelethIrenicus> should i put it in profile?
[16:50] <anddam> hello
[16:52] <anddam> is there a suggestis there a proper way to install openssl 1.1.0f on Xenial?
[16:52] <anddam> a backport or so
[16:52] <kristhian> ok, i have some instructions here that might help me
[16:52] <kristhian> thanks guys
[16:53] <xythobuz_> hey guys, where did the accessibility-dev go? it's still in search results, but now unavailable. please help, i can't install libatk because of this :( https://launchpad.net/~accessibility-dev
[16:53] <itdependsnetwork> In thinking outloud, my dhcp client is on an instance with only server and not desktop version. Is there any difference?
[16:54] <Kaedenn1> leftyfb: and we're up and running, the vm works, and we're all good and happy. THANK YOU.
[16:55] <leftyfb> anddam: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/ubuntu/php/ that ppa has it
[16:56] <oerheks> anddam, why ? sure you got the securityfixes already
[16:56] <anddam> oerheks: was asking questions on #openssl and I've been told 1.0.2g is old
[16:57] <oerheks> anddam, really ?? https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/openssl
[16:58] <oerheks> f is old, g is current :-D
[16:58] <oerheks> good site, that #openssl
[16:59] <anddam> it's a channel
[16:59] <anddam> I'm not sure to follow the letter reasoning
[16:59] <anddam> it's 1.1.0f minor version 1
[16:59] <anddam> while 1.0.2g with the 'g' is 0
[17:00] <anddam> latest 1.0 is 1.0.2l
[17:00] <oerheks> 25-May-2017OpenSSL 1.1.0f is now available, including various bug fixes (no security fixes)
[17:00] <oerheks> 25-May-2017OpenSSL 1.0.2l is now available, including various bug fixes (no security fixes)
[17:01] <oerheks> there are 2 roads, 1.0.2 and 1.1.0
[17:01] <anddam> yes, likely stable and dev
[17:02] <anddam> oerheks: maybe I just didn't understand what you meant to show me with the packages.ubuntu.com link
[17:07] <cousteau> hi, is "universe" enabled on Ubuntu by default?
[17:08] <cousteau> a friend just installed Xubuntu 16.04 and I told him to get Gnumeric but it doesn't seem to be available
[17:10] <aguitel> installed lxdm (display manager) how to choose frm xfce4 or enlightenment ?
[17:15] <scottjl> doesn't gnumeric need gnome?
[17:16] <scottjl> he should install ubuntu gnome
[17:16] <nexii> hello.
[17:17] <nexii> I've been having a failed to fetch 404 not found issue when trying to install some packages via apt
[17:22] <ikonia> nexii: so either that package isn't on that repo, or you can't talk to that repo
[17:35] <codecutter> this isn't seem to be removing directory contents?  sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/*
[17:36] <ikonia> what ?
[17:36] <codecutter> trying to remove all the content (including sub dir) inside /ROOT
[17:36] <ikonia> what's happening ?
[17:36] <scottjl> what isn't it removing?
[17:36] <scottjl> it won't hit .*
[17:37] <codecutter> sudo ls /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/ still has the contents
[17:37] <konrados> Hi, my new installation of ubuntu doesn't see *cable* internet connection, it sees wifi, but just doesn't see the cable. What am I supposed to do?
[17:37] <ikonia> what contents exactly
[17:37] <ikonia> shows us the output of ls -la /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
[17:37] <codecutter> files and directories
[17:38] <oerheks> anddam, i think you are right, that latest patch is not available|??
[17:38] <scottjl> konrados: what do you mean by *cable* ? ethernet?
[17:39] <konrados> scottjl, a wire connection, through 2 switches and then a router
[17:40] <scottjl> konrados: is it seeing your ethernet port? can you ping other systems on your network?
[17:40] <JonelethIrenicus> how can i set scaling for gnome apps in kde
[17:40] <codecutter> not sure what's going on
[17:40] <JonelethIrenicus> i set export GDK_SCALE=2 in my .bashrc
[17:40] <JonelethIrenicus> should i put it in profile?
[17:40] <ikonia> codecutter: please give the paste you've been asked for
[17:40] <konrados> scottjl, I'll try to get back here with web based irc :)
[17:41] <konrados> On the pc in subject
[17:41] <scottjl> codecutter: is this directory on another filesystem? is it mounted RO? there could be _lots_ of reasons.
[17:42] <codecutter> sorry, missed the request. Here you go https://pastebin.com/nRQsCYiS
[17:42] <gde33> why are so many things using 1-2 Gb virtual memory? (system monitor)
[17:42] <codecutter> refuses to delete: sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/*
[17:42] <ikonia> codecutter: what happens if you do "sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/Makefile
[17:43] <ikonia> codecutter: are you sure it's not deleting it and the java server is not re-exploding the wars ?
[17:43] <codecutter> well, i shut down tomcat
[17:43] <ikonia> or is there any error/warning
[17:43] <gde33> I have kvirc and firefox running. kvirc uses 1.8 which seem a lot for irc? firefox and its 2 web content processes use 2 gb each? even system monitor uses 705 mb?
[17:44] <codecutter> works - sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/Makefile
[17:45] <ikonia> codecutter: try sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/.
[17:45] <ikonia> just for interest
[17:45] <konrados_> scottjl: hi, not sure if you see this message, I'm now on the pc having no access to wired connection, what do I do?
[17:45] <scottjl> konrados_: can you ping other devices on your network?
[17:45] <gde33> gnome software 1.6 gb? evolution source registry 1.2? why so many huge values? I must be not getting something.
[17:46] <codecutter> tried that already: rm: refusing to remove '.' or '..' directory: skipping '/opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/.'
[17:46] <gde33> surely these things overlap enormously? or it would be 30ish gb? lol
[17:46] <ikonia> codecutter: do a write test
[17:47] <ikonia> codecutter: sudo touch/opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/testifle
[17:47] <ikonia> codecutter: sudo touch /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/testifle
[17:47] <codecutter> works
[17:47] <codecutter> -rw-r--r--  1 root   root       0 Jul 26 17:47 testifle
[17:48] <konrados_> anybody? I disconnected and the connected the wire, I now see "ip settings are now available" - translated from Polish
[17:48] <konrados_> What do I do?
[17:48] <ikonia> codecutter: can you afford to do a higher level test "sudo rm -rf /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/
[17:48] <scottjl> konrados_: can you ping other devices on your network?
[17:48] <JonelethIrenicus> how can i set scaling for gnome apps in kde for example Geary
[17:48] <codecutter> i can, yes
[17:49] <codecutter> can recreate the dir
[17:49] <konrados_> scottjl: thanks, I have wifi working, how to "ping devices"?
[17:49] <codecutter> ah
[17:49] <codecutter> that worked
[17:49] <konrados_> I know how to ping a website:)
[17:49] <ikonia> interesting
[17:49] <scottjl> konrados_: you're probably going to have to disable the wifi to test. open a command line and "ping addr" with the address of some other device on your network
[17:50] <konrados_> scottjl: but how to find "address of some other device"?.... I'm such a noob :(
[17:50] <scottjl> konrados_: the address of your router?
[17:51] <konrados_> scottjl: sec...
[17:51] <cousteau> scottjl, not really; gnumeric uses Gtk, but that doesn't mean that you have to install a whole desktop environment
[17:51] <cousteau> (plus XFCE is already based in Gtk anyway)
[17:52] <case_2501> Hello
[17:52] <konrados> test
[17:52] <case_2501> Just registered and wanted to say Hi
[17:52] <case_2501> Hi
[17:52] <cousteau> o/
[17:54] <konrados_> scottjl: yeah, I can ping my router - 191.168.1.1 but I believe it goes under wifi
[17:55] <konrados_> I would really love to see it going under wired connection
[17:55] <konrados_> :)
[17:55] <ducasse> konrados_: can you see your wired interface at all? is there a driver loaded?
[17:55] <pavlos> konrados_: does ifconfig give you an ip? or ip route ?
[17:56] <konrados_> sec...
[17:56] <gabrielc> run ifconfig -a
[17:58] <konrados_> gabrielc: ducasse pavlos - https://paste.ofcode.org/WTMZgvFdHVMYVBnYYuHGnE
[18:00] <gabrielc> konrados: which is the problem?
[18:00] <konrados_> gabrielc: please... I'm really stupid with this, just want the pc to work with the wired connection :(
[18:01] <pavlos> konrados_: can you pastebin the contents of /etc/network/interfaces
[18:01] <konrados_> sec...
[18:02] <konrados_> pavlos: - https://paste.ofcode.org/CiXHVVy5y4RzxzkKMnBVef
[18:03] <konrados_> I don't even know where to start :(
[18:03] <gabrielc> sudo dhclient enp6s0
[18:04] <gabrielc> konrados: is ubuntu server without gui or ubuntu desktop with gui?
[18:04] <drew____> hihi
[18:05] <konrados_> gabrielc: the command doesn't seem to respond, like it was waiting for something. It's ubuntu + KDE
[18:05] <drew____> Is it normal for compiz to top out top -o TIME?
[18:05] <drew____> I am finding the same with gnome-shell and it's making me paranoid
[18:06] <gabrielc> konrados: i want to see the output of dhclient comand
[18:06] <pavlos> konrados_: try ifup -v enp6s0
[18:07] <konrados_> pavlos: - "Unknown interface enp6s0"
[18:09] <gabrielc> konrados: what about dhclient?
[18:09] <konrados_> gabrielc: I did ctrl+c on this - there was no response
[18:10] <konrados_> gabrielc: pavlos maybe I just missed something obvios. It's a fresh installation of ubuntu 16.x - I did not confiure anything, just connected the cable
[18:10] <pavlos> konrados_: dmesg | grep enp6s0
[18:10] <konrados_> drv
[18:11] <konrados_> sec
[18:12] <gabrielc> konrados: or see the kde documentarion of the network setup
[18:12] <qwerkus> Hello, it seems the last update on 16.04 screwed my nvidia setup once again. Anyone else gets error "nvrm: api mismatch"
[18:13] <drew____> Can any kind volunteer let me know where gnome-shell or compiz rank in their top -o TIME?
[18:13] <alexas> can someone let me know why I doesnt have an applications icons in Ubuntu 16.04 anymore?
[18:14] <itdependsnetwork> is there anywhere to view the dhcp client logs other than /var/log/syslog ?
[18:14] <drew____> @alexas I'll tell you if you run top -o TIME and tell me where compiz ranks
[18:14] <drew____> >.<
[18:14] <gabrielc> itdependsnetwork. try capture the traffic of dhcp with tcpdump
[18:15] <oerheks> drew____, unusual question, why do you want to know this  dynamic place?
[18:15] <konrados> test
[18:16] <konrados> I got disconnected, pavlos gabrielc
[18:16] <drew____> oerheks: I got a new laptop and compiz / gnome-shell are eating CPU and I can't tell if normal or not
[18:16] <itdependsnetwork> gabrielc: thanks, but I know it is getting the dhcp request, since I see all of the correct information in dhcp leases file. It's just not installing the gateway
[18:16] <itdependsnetwork> So was hoping to see where it may be failing
[18:16] <konrados> geeez
[18:17] <alexas> @drew____ it ranks third from the tops
[18:18] <pavlos> itdependsnetwork: grep DHCP /var/log/syslog
[18:18] <drew____> alexas: value in TIME column?
[18:19] <drew____> & what are pos. 1 / 2? you have integrated graphics or external?
[18:19] <itdependsnetwork> pavlos: as stated before, I was looking for other than /var/log/syslog, hoping that there may be more detailed information elsewhere
[18:19] <alexas> 17:44.72http://iapetus-store.com/album/modus-novus
[18:19] <RovingWriter> Just thought I'd drop in and tell you guys....
[18:20] <RovingWriter> I got a call from a client, to do some work on their server... logged in and saw... 10:57:46 up 3398 days, 13:57,  2 users,  load average: 1.34, 1.03, 0.8
[18:20] <alexas> oops, wrong buffer sorry
[18:20] <RovingWriter> i thought, surely it was a mistake, so i checked version.... 5.04
[18:20] <RovingWriter> over 9 year uptime on 5.04. genuinely impressed.... no power outages, no hdd failures, nothing... haha
[18:20] <drew____> RovingWriter: amazing
[18:20] <drew____> is it in a DC?
[18:21] <RovingWriter> no, its at a gas station
[18:21] <RovingWriter> they do have generator power though, if power goes out
[18:21] <jer> probably also on batteries, generators usually take a bit to kick in
[18:21] <alexas> @drew____ 17:46.88, internal it's a laptop
[18:21] <pavlos> itdependsnetwork: I dont think there is another file with just dhcp info, I tried grep NetworkManager /var/log/syslog and see the conversation getting an ip, lease time, etc.
[18:22] <itdependsnetwork> hmm, using server, which I am beginning to think may be part of the issue
[18:22] <itdependsnetwork> ^^ pavlos: I guess pointing out that there is no NetworkManager
[18:23] <RovingWriter> yes jer, it has batteries and generator
[18:23] <drew____> thanks alexas . whats above ?
[18:23] <jer> RovingWriter, makes me a bit concerned about the health of those batteries after at least 9 years of being powered on
[18:23] <jer> unless they can be removed without disrupting power to the machine, then maybe they've been serviced =]
[18:24] <RovingWriter> jer, me too. so i asked. one PSU is plugged directly into the wall, one into the UPS...
[18:24] <RovingWriter> so they have unplugged the one side over the years, to replace UPS/batteries
[18:24] <drew____> it can run with one PSU?
[18:24] <alexas> @drew____ above processes are totem and firefox
[18:24] <RovingWriter> yeah, redundant PSU
[18:24] <jer> ah
[18:25] <RovingWriter> so, we decided that we're going to rebuild all the services from this machine on a new server, newer version of ubuntu, etc... update everything, and let this server live its life out, logging its uptime via a cronjob, every hour
[18:25] <RovingWriter> see how long it can get up to before failing
[18:25] <drew____> brilliant
[18:26] <drew____> alexas you are on unity or gnome?
[18:27] <alexas> i am on gnome me thinks
[18:27] <pavlos> RovingWriter: kernel is about 2.6.x
[18:27] <drew____> ya if have totem
[18:28] <alexas> i suspect you actually laughing at me @drew____
[18:28] <konrados_> pavlos: gabrielc - you still here? I have issues with the connection, which... is the problem I'm here iwht :)
[18:28] <konrados_> I got disconnected a few times
[18:29] <drew____> alexas: i genuinely wanted to know, my gnome-shell is using too much CPU and i am paranoid about video drivers etc.
[18:29] <pavlos> konrados_: dmesg | grep enp6s0
[18:29] <RovingWriter> pavlos 2.6.10
[18:29] <konrados_> sec...
[18:30] <alexas> i think that is video drivers as well
[18:30] <gabrielc> how is the correct way to do a networking restart on ubuntu server 16.04? i have all network setup on /etc/network/interfaces
[18:30] <konrados_> pavlos: - https://paste.ofcode.org/327zCMhtMDyJ7J3GBwYvvd5
[18:31] <pavlos> konrados_: line 11 says your link is up but ifconfig does not show an ip for enp6s0
[18:31] <gabrielc>  systemd restart networking.service and service restart network does not work (!)
[18:32] <konrados_> pavlos: ok, so what should I do?
[18:32] <gabrielc> konrados: sudo dhclient enp6s0
[18:32] <konrados_> sec...
[18:32] <Bashing-om> gabrielc: ' systemctl start NetworkManager.service ' .
[18:32] <Bashing-om> gabrielc: Ouch no ! server !
[18:32] <konrados_> gabrielc: just like the last time - it doesn't respond
[18:32] <alexas> bbl
[18:33] <gabrielc> konrados: a firewall block?
[18:33] <pavlos> konrados_: can you add -vv flag to the dhclient gabrielc wrote?
[18:33] <konrados_> sec
[18:34] <konrados_> pavlos: gabrielc - https://paste.ofcode.org/TgnZXUSK9ye6eeRcwJt4jq
[18:35] <konrados_> oh, did I add this flag the right way?
[18:36] <konrados_> It will probably disconnect me again in a few minutes, or already did :(
[18:36] <konrados_> hmmm, it didn't :)
[18:37] <pavlos> konrados_: put just one v like, sudo dhclient -v enp6s0
[18:37] <konrados_> sec
[18:37] <gabrielc> konrados: dhclient -v enp6s0
[18:37] <gabrielc> konrados. dhclient with only one -v

[18:43] <konrados_> I'm not sure if my message was sent.... this is crazy, I'm trying to solve a problem with internet connection, using... internet:)
[18:44] <gabrielc> konrados:  what do you want to do? I'm not clear yet
[18:45] <konrados_> gabrielc: I have a wire connection. A cable, A rj-45, it used to work on this pc with Windows OS, with Ubuntu it does not
[18:45] <zanshin> Solved my slow boot. This article had the solution. tl;dr: Bug in the encrypted
[18:46] <zanshin>  home setup. Fixing the /etc/crypttab file reduced boot time from 2+ minutes to 9
[18:46] <zanshin>  seconds.y
[18:46] <gabrielc> konrados: you have two connections enp6s0 and wlp2s0
[18:46] <itdependsnetwork> getting close to my dhcp issue, somehow the route add command is not being hit in the dhclient-script, if I add another one to the top it works fine
[18:46] <itdependsnetwork> anyone know where $new_routers comes from in dhclient-script?
[18:47] <case_2501> Hello
[18:47] <konrados_> gabrielc: it doesn't tell me anything :( I know this pc is connected via wifi, but I want it to work with the darn cable
[18:47] <konrados_> :( :( :(
[18:48] <konrados_> gabrielc: it used to work when Windows is was installed.......
[18:48] <case_2501> When I enter the room, what information is displayed?
[18:49] <case_2501> I see it shows IP address for some people

[18:49] <case_2501> Thank you
[18:49] <case_2501> Is there anyway of hiding this information?
[18:49] <pavlos> konrados_: can you create a new wired connection with NetworkManager and try?
[18:49] <gabrielc> konrados:  are you the dhcp server administrator on those network?
[18:50] <genii> case_2501: Ask for an unaffiliated cloak in #freenode ... you'll need a registered name on freenode first before asking however
[18:50] <zanshin> case_2501: Depending on the IRC client you have you can filter the join/leave messages
[18:50] <case_2501> I'm using Pidgin
[18:51] <konrados_> pavlos: - "create a new wired connection" - how? gabrielc - yes, I'm the admin, but a noob
[18:52] <konrados_> pavlos: I think I see it
[18:52] <pavlos> konrados_: I dont have KDE but if you click on NM, Edit Connections, New ...
[18:52] <zanshin> case_2501: http://wiki.xkcd.com/irc/Hide_join_part_messages Look for Pidgin
[18:52] <case_2501> Thank you
[18:54] <codecutter> how do i clear a file? keep getting 'permission denied' - sudo : > /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.out
[18:54] <konrados_> pavlos: it has several options, like (translated from Polish) - limit to a device, cloned mac adress, dns servers (set to 'auto'), I think there is a problem somewhere
[18:55] <vutral> lol
[18:55] <vutral> do i need to replace the dhcp client to have a dhcpv6 client?
[18:56] <pavlos> konrados_: you could re-install NetworkManager ... what does sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service say?
[18:57] <gabrielc> konrados:  are you going to use double default gateway?? one from enp6s0 and another from wlp2s0
[18:57] <case_2501> zanshin: thank you
[18:58] <case_2501> I have activated the relevant plugin
[18:58] <supremum> hmm, whenever i try opening links (from pdf documents, the shell or hexchat) either nothing happens or firefox opens a blank window. what could be wrong? when opening from pdf i get permission denied error message.
[18:59] <case_2501> zanshin: need to somehow verify that it has worked
[18:59] <konrados_> gabrielc: no no no, I'm not trying to do anything complicated, I just want the wire connection to start working
[18:59] <konrados_> pavlos: - https://paste.ofcode.org/8gRSbRcxCaBXGRTkkRCKUM
[19:01] <pavlos> konrados_: how many systems behind the router? can you login to the router and verify that dhcp serves ip's in the range 192.168.1.10-100 your wifi got .14 are there other systems that got .10, .11, ...?
[19:08] <pavlos> konrados_: line 18 shows link is connected
[19:10] <gabrielc> konrados: do the following test. disconnect the network cable, turn off the wifi using the button, and reconnect the network cable. to know if that way the interface rj45 gets ip address
[19:13] <RJ45> gabrielc: I hope english isn't your first language
[19:14] <gabrielc> rj45: for sure
[19:14] <gabrielc> rj45: spanish is my language
[19:15] <nexii> I was wondering how to setup the default font and color scheme for xterm.  I looked into XResources but am still puzzled as to how proceed and was wondering ifa nyone can offer a file that I can start with
[19:15] <RJ45> gabrielc: konichiwa
[19:19] <gabrielc> well. does anyone use ubuntu server?
[19:19] <pavlos> nexii: you could use xfontsel to custom your xterm
[19:19] <ioria> gabrielc, why asking ?
[19:19] <konrados> gabrielc, I use on do
[19:20] <konrados> *digital ocean
[19:20] <gabrielc> i just want restart "the networking" and it does not work as I expect it
[19:20] <konrados> oh, but no, not sure right now:) I'm a bit tired :)
[19:20] <oerheks> gabrielc, depends on what ubuntu version
[19:20] <ioria> gabrielc, details ?
[19:20] <gabrielc> 16.04
[19:21] <ioria> gabrielc, ok, but what's the issue ?
[19:21] <pavlos> nexii: https://wiki.mpich.org/mpich/index.php/Configure_xterm_Fonts_and_Colors_for_Your_Eyeball
[19:22] <oerheks> systemctl restart networking.service ( old way = sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart )
[19:22] <gabrielc> i have all network setup on /etc/network/intefaces. but "systemctl restart networking.service" AND "service restart network" not raise any interface
[19:23] <konrados_> gabrielc: pavlos - thanks for your help. I give up for today :)
[19:23] <ioria> gabrielc, btw, drop the second ...  paste interfaces file
[19:23] <pavlos> konrados_: I'm baffled why enp6s0 does not come up
[19:24] <oerheks> maybe networking is not enabled at all: systemctl enable networking.service && systemctl start networking.service
[19:24] <anddam> oerheks: btw 1.1 isn't development branch, it's latest stable. 1.0 is old long term support
[19:24] <oerheks> andisee, i could not find the latest patches, so i guess you are right
[19:24] <oerheks> anddam^
[19:24] <gabrielc> ioria: wait me
[19:24] <pavlos> konrados_: your system is kubuntu 16.04? I will try in a vm
[19:25] <konrados_> pavlos: yes, it is. But I really think I'm doing sth really stupid...
[19:25] <konrados_> Something simple
[19:25] <pavlos> konrados_: the rj45 cable is bad ????
[19:26] <konrados_> pavlos: tested, it is fine
[19:27] <gabrielc> ioria: https://paste.ofcode.org/KfSWGb7Z3KzbqqyBvJpeHy
[19:28] <ioria> gabrielc, and  sudo systemctl restart networking.service  not rainsing the interfaces ?
[19:28] <gabrielc> ioria: no
[19:29] <ioria> gabrielc, connected with ssh ?
[19:29] <gabrielc> ioria: yes, and local too
[19:29] <RJ45> pavlos: I'm super bad
[19:30] <pavlos> RJ45: ??
[19:30] <ioria> gabrielc, try   sudo ip addr flush interface/name && sudo systemctl restart networking.service
[19:35] <gabrielc> ioria: i ran "ip addr flush wlp2s0 && systemctl restart networking.service" and lost the ssh connection. I connect by ssh using manag-vlan1, which is a vlan inside the trunk trunk0
[19:36] <ioria> gabrielc, you missed sudo in the 2° cmd
[19:38] <gabrielc> ioria:  i work within a "sudo bash"
[19:39] <konrados_> gabrielc - I did the test, disconnected everything, wifi and cable, then connected cable again - same thing
[19:39] <ioria> gabrielc, you mean you're root ?
[19:39] <gabrielc> ioria: yes
[19:39] <alexas> @drew____ ping
[19:40] <ioria> gabrielc, no 'auto' directive for that interfce
[19:40] <ioria> *interface
[19:40] <gabrielc> ioria: i use allow-hotplug for speed reasons
[19:41] <gabrielc> ioria: /etc/network/interfaces works ok on boot
[19:42] <ioria> gabrielc, adding sudo ifup -a after networking restart cmd ?
[19:45] <donofrio> so what am I doing wrong when I try to ssh -Y then run firefox though the tunnel?  I get a new error - "connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory Error: cannot open display: localhost:11.0" this process used to work... ;(
[19:45] <gabrielc> ioria: same result. no interfaces up. only lo and virbr0 of libvirtd
[19:46] <gabrielc> ioria: eno1 and wlp2s0 are the only physical interfaces
[19:46] <leftyfb> donofrio: ssh -X
[19:47] <gabrielc> konrados:  I can only help you if I connect to the machine where the problem is seen
[19:47] <donofrio> leftyfb, hu that is old....-Y much better (at least that is what I've been using for over a decade now)
[19:48] <Southern_Gentlem> donofrio,  read the new specs on ssh
[19:48] <Southern_Gentlem> -X
[19:48] <ioria> gabrielc, i'd try 'auto'  instead  of hotplug
[19:49] <leftyfb> donofrio: as part of the man page: "(Debian-specific: This option does nothing in the default configuration: it is equivalent to “ForwardX11Trusted yes”, which is the default as described above."
[19:49] <gabrielc> ioria: on all interfaces?
[19:49] <ioria> gabrielc,  just wlp2s0 for test
[19:49] <gabrielc> ioria: i'm going to try it now
[19:50] <gabrielc> ioria:ok
[19:50] <donofrio> Southern_Gentlem, leftyfb same results "firefox connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory connect /tmp/.X11-unix/X0: No such file or directory Error: cannot open display: localhost:11.0"
[19:50] <donofrio> I removed the line brakes
[19:51] <pavlos> konrados_: I made a vm, wired connected w/o issue ... right click on Network, Configure, Add, Wired Internet, name will be new 802-3, click ok. Now, left click on Networks, select the new created and see if it connects
[19:51] <donofrio> I used to ssh -Y hostname, then as my normal access account just ran firefox and it rendered and I logged into my jboss admin console locked to 127.0.0.1
[19:52] <donofrio> so this is kinda important that I get working because I cannot admin from outside host.....
[19:52] <konrados_> pavlos: thanks, tried that but no, it doesn't work :)
[19:53] <gabrielc> ioria: auto wlp2s0, #ip addr flush wlp2s0 && systemctl restart networking.service and the network breaks
[19:53] <leftyfb> donofrio: I just tested on an ubuntu server running 16.04 that didn't have firefox installed. I installed firefox and all it's deps, ssh -X <host> -t "firefox" worked for me
[19:54] <konrados_> gabrielc: will you be here tomorrow? I would just give you access to this pc..... that would be really great :)
[19:54] <ioria> gabrielc,  and without flushing ?
[19:55] <gabrielc> ioria: systemd log an error
[19:55] <ioria> gabrielc,  which is ?
[20:00] <gabrielc> ioria: wait me
[20:01] <BromaxSux> Hi
[20:03] <Nothing4You> why does this not get me a default route to 2a01:something:1 in /etc/network/interfaces? http://paste.ubuntu.com/25178991/
[20:03] <gabrielc> ioria: one of the errors: Subject: Unit networking.service has failed
[20:03] <Nothing4You> it's working fine on my debian vms
[20:04] <Nothing4You> it's a 16.04.2 LTS x64 vm
[20:04] <gabrielc> ioria:   Process: 2579 ExecStart=/sbin/ifup -a --read-environment (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
[20:06] <gabrielc> ioria: syslog: networking.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
[20:06] <oerheks> Nothing4You, 16.04 uses new interface naming, not eth0 anymore, unless you disabled that
[20:07] <Nothing4You> it does use eth0
[20:07] <gabrielc> ioria:  systemd[1]: networking.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
[20:07] <Nothing4You> it may have been an older ubuntu that got upgraded
[20:08] <Nothing4You> if i manually assign a default gateway for ipv6 it works fine
[20:08] <Nothing4You> ipv4 default gateway is also set correctly
[20:08] <Nothing4You> just for ipv6 it shows me the /112 route and fe80::/64
[20:08] <Nothing4You> no default route
[20:13] <gabrielc> ioria:  with auto instead allow-hotplug seems to work fine using ifdown -a / ifup -a
[20:13] <Nothing4You> i just noticed that there is something like ifup@eth0.service
[20:13] <Nothing4You> is that there by default for stuff configured in /etc/network/interfaces or does that mean there's a network manager doing stuff that might be conflicting?
[20:15] <gabrielc> nothing4u: you already read https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration ?
[20:15] <Nothing4You> no, i'm trying to help a friend troubleshoot his networking
[20:15] <Nothing4You> i'm not using ubuntu myself, only debian
[20:16] <Nothing4You> on all my debian machines i configure it exclusively via /etc/network/interfaces
[20:17] <gabrielc> nothing4you : In my experience network-manager does not touch what is defined in /etc/network/interfaces
[20:18] <Nothing4You> is there an easy way to check whether a network manager is running?
[20:18] <gabrielc> nothing4you. check http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/nmcli.1.html
[20:19] <gabrielc> Nothing4You: and http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man5/nmcli-examples.5.html
[20:19] <Nothing4You> thanks, i'll look into that
[20:19] <Nothing4You> weird
[20:19] <Nothing4You> says examples nmcli -t -f RUNNING nm
[20:20] <Nothing4You> tells you whether NetworkManager is running or not.
[20:20] <Nothing4You> but when i try to run that i'm getting Error: Object 'nm' is unknown, try 'nmcli help'.
[20:20] <Nothing4You> ah your link is to xenial
[20:21] <Nothing4You> er
[20:21] <Nothing4You> trusty
[20:21] <Nothing4You> not xenial
[20:22] <Nothing4You> device status shows eth0 and lo unmanaged
[20:22] <Nothing4You> so that shouldn't be affecting it
[20:34] <Nothing4You> looking at syslog i'm seeing entries saying failed to bring up eth0: sh[543]: RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
[20:36] <Nothing4You> (that's with custom default route as up command)
[20:37] <Nothing4You> oh wow
[20:37] <Nothing4You> found the solution
[20:37] <Nothing4You> stupid typo
[20:37] <Nothing4You> now i know why it didn't work all the time
[20:38] <Azrael_-> hi
[20:38] <Nothing4You> had some numbers flipped in my gateway specification

[21:10] <genii> JonelethIrenicus: some of the issues are explained here: https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2017/05/19/fractional-scaling-goes-east/
[21:14] <JonelethIrenicus> genii: wow didn't realize gnome was so far behind in this regard
[21:14] <genii> JonelethIrenicus: PErhaps the hackfest had some results. If so, though, i haven't been able to find out
[21:16] <JonelethIrenicus> genii: i am only on 16.04 maybe i dont have the latest version
[21:20] <Azrael_-> hi
[21:20] <Azrael_-> i want to upgrade my old ubuntu-version. where can i find package-sources for 18?
[21:21] <donofrio> leftyfb, do you get this message? "Warning: No xauth data; using fake authentication data for X11 forwarding." ?
[21:21] <Azrael_-> sorry, forget it
[21:22] <genii> paddyez: Any more discussion of DDOSing will be a ban. Friendly warning.
[21:23] <paddyez> genii: did you get my query?
[21:24] <genii> paddyez: The reason is unimportant here. It's a tech support channel for Ubuntu
[21:24] <paddyez> OK
[21:24] <saitoh183> quick question all my  root is 20GB and is 100% full, im on a headless server. how can i find what is taking up room?
[21:25] <paddyez> you might help me with installing Java 9

[21:36] <sla3k> Hi, how would I go about enabling .htaccess in default directory (/var/www/html)? So far, I've created a file in this directory named .htaccess and set the directive AllowOverRide All in the apache2.conf file, restarted the apache server but the headers that I added in .htaccess are not being shown by chrome or FF
[21:36] <saitoh183> Alright I will try those tonight... Im not there anymore
[21:36] <Dakkus> But okay, after 30 minutes or so of waiting, let's try again.
[21:37] <paddyez> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25179509/
[21:37] <Dakkus> Hey peoples!
[21:37] <Dakkus> Got 16.04 LTS, would prefer to upgrade.
[21:37] <Dakkus> Any point-and-click way to do it?
[21:37] <Dakkus> No need for this to remain LTS, unless you can convince me that it's better for me.
[21:37] <Dakkus> Been using Ubuntu since 2010 or so, but never an LTS before. This computer came preinstalled with the 16.04 LTS (a week ago O.o) and I'd something somewhat more up-to-date, because I like playing newer versions of games such as openttd, widelands and openxcom :)
[21:37] <Dakkus> The usual "check for updates, press dist-upgrade" doesn't cut it this time, because I can't get the whole update window visible - presumably because this is an LTS.
[21:37] <Dakkus> ...or because the last four years or so I've been using Linux Mint, which is Ubuntu based, but also not quite Ubuntu.
[21:39] <genii> paddyez: Do sudo apt-get update ...first
[21:39] <Dakkus> I have absolutely no problem with CLI, but I often install Ubuntu or Mint to newbies and would prefer knowing how to do things the newb-friendly way as well.
[21:39] <paddyez> genii: I did
[21:39] <Dakkus> Also, they are closing this bar with wifi and my own internet connection has mb-based pricing and is rather expensive.
[21:39] <nexii> pavlos: thank you
[21:40] <pavlos> nexii: yw
[21:40] <Dakkus> ...and the bar is 14 km from home and I need to walk frigging half a kilometre (well, ok, 750m) of altitude difference to get back home.
[21:41] <paddyez> genii: my command is "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade"
[21:44] <tomreyn> Dakkus: to upgrade from an lts to non-lts version: on the menu, go to settings -> software & updates -> click on the 'updates' tab, and change the value for "notify me of a new ubuntu version" to "for any new version"
[21:44] <oerheks> paddyez, that ppa seems broken, no direct download
[21:44] <genii> paddyez: Looks like the webupd8team hasn't changed the version to http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/archive/179/binaries/jre-9+179_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz yet
[21:45] <genii> Their PPA is stil on 177
[21:49] <paddyez> genii: what do I need to add in the sources.list?
[21:54] <genii> paddyez: Nothing. If you feel brave to modify the deb though, I can walk you through it
[21:56] <Dakkus> tomreyn: Thanks! :)
[21:57] <genii> paddyez: Basically it involves downloading the deb file, opening it, untarring the control.tar.gz file, modifying the version numbers and hashes in the file there called config, then re-tarring, and adding the tar back into the deb
[21:58] <Dakkus> paddyez: genii can surely walk you throught that more precicely, if you explicitly ask him to. The procedure is simple, but has enough steps that people will not start explaining it without being explicitly asked to.
[21:59] <amirite> I just update chrome and now whenever I visit a path that uses flag I get a message that says "Plugin was blocked because it is out of date", is anyone else experiencing this?
[22:00] <paddyez> genii: and Dakkus thanx I only wanted to know if Java 9 is supported on ubuntu
[22:00] <paddyez> the oracle version specific
[22:01] <paddyez> it seems not
[22:02] <paddyez> 1.8 seems to be industrial standard
[22:02] <genii> paddyez: You'll have to wait until Alin Andre from the webupd8team gets around to updating their PPA. In the meantime, maybe file a bug report to that team to speed the process up
[22:06] <oerheks> !info openjdk-9-jre
[22:07] <paddyez> well Java 8 is fine for me just 9 broke my dist-upgrade
[22:07] <genii> paddyez: Since PPAs don't have an actual bug report mechanism, use https://launchpad.net/%7Ewebupd8team/+contactuser
[22:08] <paddyez> PPA just caused a 404
[22:10] <genii> You might need to sign up for a Launchpad account first before the link works
[22:11] <paddyez> just do not include PPA Java 9 if it causes a 40
[22:11] <paddyez> 404
[22:12] <oerheks> just file a bugreport to the maintainer, complaining here does not solve the 404
[22:15] <genii> paddyez: Basically, your options at this point are: Stay on 8 until the PPA updates  or: Modify the deb file with the current info  or: Use openjdk instead
[22:18] <paddyez> genii: yeah
[22:19] <genii> paddyez: I filed a bug report there now. Hopefully they'll fix it in a day or two
[22:26] <hehehe> hi
[22:26] <hehehe> who runs mongo on ubuntu 16.04?

[22:47] <Calderas> Does anyone know how to get a Xonar Phoebus solo soundcard working in Ubuntu? CM8888 card is found in soundsettings but no sound. Tried installing the latest ALSA drivers but no succes...
[22:47] <nacc> hehehe: sudo systemctl start mongodb
[22:47] <nacc> hehehe: oh wait
[22:47] <nacc> hehehe: `apt policy mongodb-server`
[22:47] <nacc> hehehe: in a pastebin
[22:49] <hehehe> https://pastebin.com/Ghd9GWPX
[22:50] <hehehe> oki I see conflicting sources
[22:50] <nacc> hehehe: you didn't install it
[22:50] <hehehe> i did
[22:50] <nacc> hehehe: so i'm not sure what mongod you were running
[22:50] <nacc> hehehe: no, that says Installed: (none)
[22:50] <hehehe> i think I know what happen
[22:50] <hehehe> I created separate list file for it
[22:50] <hehehe> and its listed in main list
[22:50] <hehehe> going to check
[22:50] <nacc> that doesn't make any sense, but whatever
[22:51] <hehehe> i did install it
[22:51] <hehehe> and it runs via ./
[22:51] <nacc> hehehe: ./ where?
[22:51] <hehehe> ./usr/bin/mongod
[22:52] <nacc> hehehe: *where* is .
[22:52] <hehehe> ...
[22:52] <nacc> hehehe: a relative path is useless in a public channel
[22:52] <nacc> hehehe: we are not on your system, looking at your shell
[22:53] <hehehe> its in /usr/bin/
[22:53] <hehehe> the mongo executive
[22:53] <nacc> hehehe: then why are you using . ?
[22:53] <nacc> hehehe: nothing you are writing makes sense to me
[22:53] <hehehe> ....
[22:53] <nacc> hehehe: `dpkg -S /usr/bin/mongod` in a pastebin
[22:53] <hehehe> I think I know whats the issue is
[22:55] <hehehe> mongodb-org-server: /usr/bin/mongod
[22:55] <nacc> hehehe: that's not an ubuntu package
[22:55] <nacc> hehehe: so ... good luck
[22:55] <hehehe> there are two entries for mongodb
[22:55] <hehehe> thats why
[22:55] <hehehe> there is an ubuntu distro package?
[22:55] <hehehe> where?
[22:55] <nacc> !info mongodb-server
[22:56] <nacc> hehehe: as i said already about 20 minutes ago
[22:56] <hehehe> I might of missed it
[22:56] <nacc> hehehe: and if you *weren't* using the ubuntu package, then asking the ubuntu support channel to fix your issue is inappropriate
[22:58] <hehehe> nacc: so how do I activate this optional ubuntu mongo package via command line?
[22:58] <hehehe> whats its repository key and url?
[22:58] <nacc> hehehe: i don't understand why that's even a question. `sudo apt install mongodb-server`
[22:59] <nacc> hehehe: i think you know this, but are being unnecessarily roundabout to ask.
[22:59] <hehehe> i know
[22:59] <hehehe> but first time I did it it said no such package
[22:59] <nacc> hehehe: did you have universe enabled?
[22:59] <hehehe> going to do again
[22:59] <hehehe> nacc: now that you asked I think no
[22:59] <hehehe> I used aws stock 16,04
[23:00] <hehehe> so ok I need to enable universe
[23:01] <hehehe> ok i see what happen
[23:03] <hehehe> nacc: I have read rocket.chat install howto and they are using mongo db repo - so I automatically assumed it wont be in universe
[23:03] <hehehe> thats the mistake :)
[23:03] <nacc> hehehe: on ubuntu, rocket is snapped already, just use that
[23:04] <hehehe> nacc: yes I had a snap, now I want to mess with code more so installing from scratch :)
[23:07] <hehehe> nacc: what about mongodb-org is on ubuntu too?
[23:07] <hehehe> is it
[23:08] <hehehe> or I have to install server and shell separately?
[23:09] <nacc> hehehe: i don't know what you think mongodb-org is
[23:09] <hehehe> its a collection of packages
[23:10] <hehehe> server shell tools and some more
[23:10] <nacc> hehehe: if you are asking how to get the cli (or other tools), you want one of mongodb-clients or mongo-tools
[23:10] <nacc> hehehe: mongodb-org is not an ubuntu package, i've never heard of it
[23:10] <hehehe> cool
[23:13] <hehehe> nacc: the package in universe - do they receive security updates?
[23:13] <hehehe> packages
[23:13] <notaswengr_> this cinnamon desktop really looks cool
[23:14] <hehehe> ok mongod --version
