Pinkamena_DHey, was here a few days ago but was never able to find a solution to this issue. After creating a GPT drive with a single btrfs partition, I get huge amount of drives at boot: https://pasteboard.co/00:44
Pinkamena_DI have tried removing the mounting from /etc/fstab and restarting but that did not help either00:44
Pinkamena_Dsome examplkes of the drive names are 'pids', 'systemd', 'connections', 'pstor'00:45
Pinkamena_DI tried manually unlocking all of them but they come back on restart00:45
ProfessorKaos64is dropbox still defacto go-to for hosted cloud storage that integrates well with the desktop? I've had trouble with grive and the like over the years.00:51
PipeItToDevNullI didnt even know that was still part of the scene00:59
PipeItToDevNullI personally use Nextcloud hosted off a VPS00:59
ProfessorKaos64I mean for hosted01:07
ProfessorKaos64I like spideroak a bit, just trying to check out other ones01:07
PipeItToDevNullWhat integration are you looking for01:08
ddellavProfessorKaos64 dropbox is pretty good for hosted. I used spider oak for a bit but it took way too long to do uploads. It had to do a lot of client-side stuff that ate up cpu01:09
ProfessorKaos64I am willing to do nextcloud, but I do like hosted for ease of use01:09
ddellavwhatever i do it needs to have an iOS client01:09
ProfessorKaos64spiderak is nice in how it does backups01:09
ProfessorKaos64you choose a path, not just have a "dropbox" folder01:09
ddellavfor my system backups i use ARQ with google drive01:09
ProfessorKaos64drive now has abackup feature, but no on linux01:09
ddellavARQ does the backups01:10
ddellavgoogle drive is jut the storage medium01:10
ddellavand i believe ARQ works on all platforms01:10
ddellavi use it on OS X01:10
ProfessorKaos64nextcloud setup isn't to too harsh, I manage a hadoop cluster at work, so postgres and confs aren't foreign in the least01:11
ProfessorKaos64I like spideroak more of for hosted backups of /etc/ and /home01:11
ProfessorKaos64I wish dropbox allowd you to just choose folders01:11
PipeItToDevNullln -s01:12
ProfessorKaos64I don't like messing with symlinks when doing backups like that01:12
PipeItToDevNullAh, works fine for all my little shit, I only have 4GB of data I actually do anything with01:13
kenrinWhat should I look for to clean out my system?  I'm getting / is full errors and I've deleted all my downloads01:14
PipeItToDevNullkenrin, what is producing errors would be a good start01:14
kenrinWell ubuntu is giving me the root is full errors..01:15
protocol_hivejoin linux01:16
PipeItToDevNullAnd it says that where kenrin01:16
kenrinOn a popup on the desktop01:16
kenrinblah blah root is full click here to empty trash01:16
PipeItToDevNullDid you install to one partition or is /home seperat01:17
kenrinOne parition on a 120gig ssd.  I got another parition just for kvm images01:17
PipeItToDevNullOk, so to see where the space is you can use Boab, it is like WinDirStat for Windows01:18
PipeItToDevNullThink it is boab, sec01:18
PipeItToDevNullhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Baobab01:18
kenrinCool.  That'll help a lot more than running du commands01:19
kenrinOk so I have a 90.6 gig .cache folder01:20
kenrinThanks !01:20
PipeItToDevNullI prefer du, but hey01:20
PipeItToDevNullYep01:20
pavloskenrin: can you run this, du -d1 / | sort -n ... this will give you sizes of the top dirs01:20
PipeItToDevNulldu -d 1 -h | sort -h01:20
PipeItToDevNullThat would be easier01:20
kenrinWhy exactly is .cache/upstart over 90 gigs ?01:20

Kali_Yugawhat could cause my internet to drop every few minutes for a few seconds? this wifi card worked fine and this never happend didn't change anything either. on the other computer we have it's not happening. the weird thing is it even happens on a live stick.04:11

xitis it possible to connect directly without the wifi card?04:19
Kali_Yugaxit: the router to far from here. :/04:20

Kali_Yugais*04:20
xittry pinging the router (192.168.1.1?) and then 8.8.8.8 in a separate terminal.  Do they both go out at the same time?04:21
Kali_Yugabut why does it happen even on a live stick?04:22
xitit must be something hardware, ip address, network related, rather than something running on the system causing it.04:23
Kali_Yugaxit: I believe they all go out04:23
Kali_Yugafor like 10-30 seconds & comes back online04:24

Kali_Yugait's pretty annoying. i start blaming the wifi card itself. it has to be on my end04:25

xitIs it a laptop?04:26
Kali_Yugaxit: yes04:27
xittry connecting to another network when you get a chance, just to rule out your network/router.  If it happens on another network, yeah, it's likely the wifi card.04:28
Kali_YugaI read wifi card is an Intel centrino wireless-N 223004:29
Kali_Yugayeah when I get around to it I'll install another wifi usb stick, and see if it's still happening04:31

n0rthlighthello, I am looking for verified my Iso I just downloaded however following this guide is a disaster: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#504:58
n0rthlight:)04:58
saryn0rthlight: disaster ..! it's simple.. which step are you stuck with!05:06
lamduhanyone have any ideas on how to fix me getting stuck at a black screen with white dots and green lines when I click "try without installing"05:06
n0rthlightSary all I did download the 17,04 file05:07
sarylamduh: does the machine have a dual graphics!05:07
n0rthlighthowever the text below .. I am not sure what is the command..05:07
lamduhyeah....nividia and integrated05:08
lamduhbeen trying to fix this for over 6 hours now05:08
lamduhnomodeset lets me install it, but then the green lines come back when I try to boot after installation and nomodeset doesnt help05:08
saryn0rthlight: do you see or have the SHA256SUMS hashes ..05:09
n0rthlightI have download those txt and gdp files05:09
n0rthlightyes05:10
=== MittensAFK is now known as Mittens
n0rthlightThey are in the same folder has the .iso.05:10
YankDownUnderlamduh, Have you looked at other options for the boot parameters?05:11
saryn0rthlight: ok then , run the sha256sum depends on your host OS ..05:11
lamduhhavent tried any. I feel liek I just need to boot once so I can install drivers and it will work05:11
YankDownUnderlamduh, I'll assume you've done a COLD boot? Meaning - you've turned the machine completely off and waited a few seconds and then turned it on again to see if that resolves the graphics/boot issue?05:12
lamduhhmm I dont think ive waited more than a few seconds between holding the power off and not05:13
sarylamduh: i suppose when you see that black screen you could switch to a virtual machine with Alt+Ctrl+F3 , and install the nvidia driver .. i don't remember the exact name for the tool , it could be update-drivers .. lemme check!05:13
n0rthlightSary Well this is were I am stuck. I am on Mint atm.05:13
lamduhI just got into the "try xubuntu without installing" screen with nomodeset on...maybe if I download the nvidia drivers there then try to install it will work?05:13
lamduhah cool thanks sary will try that next05:13
lamduhDont want to have to development on windows ever again05:14
n0rthlightI dont udnerstand how to run it :)05:14
lamduhweird when I try to switch to the nvidia driver in the trial xubuntu it just swaps it back to xubuntu05:15
lamduhthink the command might be ubuntu drivers05:16
saryn0rthlight: in terminal type : SHA256SUM and paste the iso file after SHA256SUM and hit enter ..05:16
lamduh*ubuntu-drivers05:16
sarylamduh: yes it is ubuntu-drivers devices , according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia05:18
n0rthlightSary command not found.05:18
lamduhwill try it after this attempt at installing xubuntu...05:19
saryn0rthlight: then i guesse SHA256SUM isn't installaed , either install it or try with md5sum instead ..05:19
sarymd5sum ubuntu.iso05:20
n0rthlightThat explain my struggle.. :P05:20
lamduhbefore I restart, I realized a 462 gb volume appeared on my trial version of xubuntu when I installed05:25
lamduhis there anyway I can run a terminal as root in that parition and install drivers before I restart?05:25
saryyou mean within the live session ..! no that's not how it works .. just install normally and reboot , when get the black screen switch to a VT , login and run the driver installer manaully..05:27
lamduhyeah I just wanted to try it before hand okay restarting now05:28
lamduhalt ctrl f3 doesnt affect the screen status :(05:28
lamduhhttp://imgur.com/a/CyB7O05:30
lamduhjust looks like that05:30
sarytry disabling the on board intel graphic card in the BIOS , and boot with the nvidia one .. the kernel have the free Nouveau nvidia driver loaded , ones you reach desktop GUI , you can active the nvidia driver.. am pretty sure you'll be able to reach the desktop bootin' with the Intel Graphics only ...05:32
lamduhwill try that05:34
lamduhdo you think the sata mods mater at all> ahci vs raid vs ide>?05:34
lamduhah well I was using the PEG (nvidia) card..switched to Integrated graphics will see if anything changes05:38
lamduhoh thank god finally got to the logins creen05:39
lamduhwhen I logged in I got system problem detected05:39
sarylamduh: you didn't boot this time with nomodeset, or did you! we only need to boot with it temporary as nomodeset will disable KMS.05:44
lamduhI booted with intel graphics. I am no longer getting the grub menu so there is no where to set nomodeset05:47
lamduhjust installed all drivers...going to switch back to discrete graphics now and see what happens05:47

lamduhfor posterity, needed ot boot using intel integrated graphics, run ubuntu-drivers autoinstall, then boot using nvidia graphics card05:52
lamduhnow one more quick question. I see "no caching page mode found" during boot. Is there any reson this should pop up if im using an ssd?05:54
sarytripelb: So you want to do something like this : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving06:04
sarylamduh: Hiya, well done.. you did it! :)06:04
lamduhha yeah...i dont even care about the caching thing.must be something to do with the samsung ssd06:06
lamduhthat was lie 7 hours of debugging...think I am done for the day lol06:06
sarythat message could also appear with a HDD or a usb , i thik you should read about it.06:07

mrigHello, I am having some boot problems with ubuntu 16.04 on a lenovo, can anyone help?06:57
Ben64mrig: usually best to explain the problem fully06:58
mrigThe password no longer sets the os into motion, this is a fresh install due to the problem I re-installed yesterday only to find that it happens again.06:59
lamduh My sound device isn't showing up in sound devices. Any ideas? When I do aplay -l I see the fiio e10k listed, but I can't select it as an output device. The audio device is said to be on "card 2" rather than card "1"07:00
mrigSo I get to the password entry window and when entered correctly the screen goes black with one bar at the top, then it returns to the password screen, in a different way to when it is entered incorrectly.07:00
Ben64mrig: try logging in as a guest07:00
mrigThat works ok.07:01
mrigI still have windows on a dual boot and that works fine too.07:01
Ben64well you either got some files in your home directory that aren't owned by you or some other thing07:02
mrigOh, I tried to log in in recovery mode to set the su password but I dont seem to be able to.07:02
mrigThe files in home is possible I guess, any way to check on that?07:03
geirha"set the su password"?07:04
mriggeirha:Yes, it is not set by default, but it worries me that I cant get to the command line.07:04
Ben64mrig: ctrl+alt+f107:06
mrigIt is a fresh install but I have copied my backed up files over to the system, it was running all day yesterday, I even closed it down and re booted. It is curious how it came about.07:07
mrigOh of course I have forgotten about the ttys!07:07
sarylamduh: are you able to select it using alsamixer or pavucontrol ..!07:08
geirhabecause ubuntu relies on sudo, root needs no password, and there's no need to use su07:09
lamduhsary, I dont see the option avbaiable in pavucontrol07:09
mrigBen64: I have managed to log in but not on the first attempt.07:10
lamduhI can see it in pacmd list-sinsk07:11
lamduhhm I see it in pabucontrol now as digihug usb audio analog stereo and its port is analog output w.e that means07:13
Sbur3I have a USB key with stuff on it.  In the file manager, it "sees" the files.  But when I try to access it (it is mounted), I get an I/O error.  How do I recover the pictures on it?07:13
mrigBen64 I am logged in but my home is not decrypted.07:13
Ben64oh encrypted home, well i'm out07:14
mrigBen64 I have the key no problem07:15
Ben64well i don't do encryption, dunno how to manually mount it decrypted or anything, so i can't really help you with that07:15
mrigWould like to know what the cause is though, but thank you for your help07:15
mrigI have done before will take a look at that, chek that all files are owned by me.07:16
Ben64usually when people can't log in, it's because they use sudo incorrectly and end up changing ownership of certain files07:16
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
mrigIt is possible that my back up has copied over files as root rather than owned by me.07:16
mrigBe great if that is all that it is ...07:17

Sbur3I imagine that this is not good to see ....Bus 002 Device 006: ID abcd:1234 Unknown07:18
geirhaif you copied over the encrypted home ... no idea what happens07:19
sarySbur3: you said it's mounted , it's probable under /media/YOURUSER/ .. are you able to ls -al to it !07:20

Sbur3sary: Is that good?07:22
mriggeirha: copied as normal files, the system has done the encryption. Still not in there yet.07:25
EriC^^Sbur3: that looks like a fat32 partition07:26
sarySbur3: looks fine to me as it's identical to my mounted usb permassions. so it's good .. is suppose now you could try coping from it to the HDD/SSD using cp ...07:26
EriC^^mrig: what's up?07:26
Sbur3EriC^^: I wouldn't care what kind of partition.  What insterests me is recovering a couple years of photos07:27
EriC^^Sbur3: ok, well browse the dir and see if it's the hdd in question07:27
Sbur3sary: The first thing I'd like to do is to use import from Shotwell to recover the photos07:27
Sbur3EriC^^: It aint an HDD, it's a usb memory stick07:28
EriC^^Sbur3: ok, i dont know what you are up to, just confirming that the dir is a fat32 partition (which most usb's are)07:28
EriC^^carry on :)07:28
mrigEriC^^ My system wont let me log in, I have managed with a tty but the home remains encrypted, suspect the encription from stopping normal login which fails with no warning at the password prompt.07:30

mrigJust reading up on ecryptfs-mount-private07:31
mrigIt is a fresh install, reinstalled due to the very same problem.07:31
mrigRather frustrating, I could no longer login yesterday morning, I though that perhaps someone had got to root and changed the password.07:32
EriC^^mrig: try logging in from a tty, then try "df -h" and see if it mentions the word .Private somewhere07:32
EriC^^mrig: it sounds like a graphics driver problem to me07:33
mrigBut now that it happens again, after I changed the password ... The password worked in the tty, but did not open the encryted drive.07:33
EriC^^Sbur3: can you browse the files with the terminal? "ls -l /media/steve/F4AA-1C19" ?07:33
EriC^^mrig: yes, if you change the password it will no longer decrypt it properly cause it uses the password to unwrap the passphrase (the very long key that you should write down in case of disasters)07:34
EriC^^mrig: change the password back to the original one, or wrap the passphrase with the new password to get it working again07:35
mrigIt is the same password that the drive was made with.07:35
Sbur3EriC^^: There are two messages at first that talk of I/O errors, but the rest is listed07:35
EriC^^Sbur3: aha, and what is the stuff you need to recover?07:36
mrigThis is the encrypt home folder option at install time.07:36
mrigTHe data has been restored from an unlocked backup.07:36
EriC^^mrig: so after the installation, you never changed the password?07:36
mrigNO07:36
mrigops No07:37
* mrig did not intend to shout :)07:37
EriC^^do you have the passphrase written down?07:37
Sbur3EriC^^: I'm trying to pastebin, but I think that I'm on the wrong site, cuz I don't find the button to paste so I can give you the URL07:38
mrigit is an algorithm that allows me to remember it correctly.07:38
EriC^^mrig: nevermind the above, try to ecryptfs-mount-private and see how it goes07:38
Sbur3EriC^^: Basically everything except the two things that show I/O errors07:39
mrigjust looking at that, when in the folder with an encrypted blob, can I just run it pointing at the file?07:39

Sbur3EriC^^: And it's not yet back to the prompt07:53
EriC^^Sbur3: ok, it should be copying the other files right now07:54
Sbur3EriC^^: Nothing else ... It's hanging07:54
EriC^^mrig: ok, so the encrypted dir is decrypted and mounted correctly07:54
mrigYes it seems to be fine.07:54
Sbur3EriC^^: Got no verbose yet07:55
EriC^^mrig: type "cd /home" then type sudo mv * (press ctrl+x then press * again, it will list all the files there, remove your username from the list) /home/iain07:55
mrigI have changed the file ownership and it has logged me in in tty 707:55
EriC^^mrig: that way you'd have moved all the files to your decrypted home dir where they belong07:56

Sbur3EriC^^: I'll get back to you .. .  The USB says it is 512GB, but there was only something like 4.5GB on it07:58
Sbur3EriC^^: And in the file manager, it says it is a 537GB thing07:59
EriC^^it's on its way out, if you can spare the space, it would be better if you try to ddrescue it and work on that image to recover your files, aha that's pretty big07:59
EriC^^i guess it's a trade off of your time/space and how important the files are to you07:59
Sbur3EriC^^: The pictures are of utmost importance to me sentimentally08:00
Sbur3EriC^^: I would have preferred to exclude Trash-1000 ;)08:00
EriC^^mrig: there are also the hidden .dot files, so also do sudo mv .*  (same thing here except be sure to remove the "." and ".." and also also ".ecryptfs" and ".Private" , double check everything before you press enter) /home/iain08:01
Sbur3EriC^^: ddrescue,where can I get that and for how much?08:01
EriC^^Sbur3: ok i think it's just going to say input output for the ones it can't get, and try to copy the others08:01
mrigJust reading through your instructions now, the files are already in there though.08:02
Sbur3EriC^^: I'm going to let it continue.  Gotta make the Mrs happy08:02

tomreynShNaYkHs: if you'd copy those files as they are then file system object ownership and permissions as well as special file system objects (symlinks, hard links, fifos, device nodes, ...) would be lost10:38
tomreynShNaYkHs: you could,. however create a tar archive of the contents of the ext4 file system on the ntfs10:39
tomreynalternatively, you could create an image of the entire partition or entire usb stick and store it on the ntfs (assuming there is sufficient space available).10:40

tripelbTo whoever said try using root. (In order to write on another (data) partition.)  - how can I do that from a liveUSB? MUST I use terminal?  Is the command  $ sudo cp -R dir1 dir2    and it will copy all the interior directories?  BUT if computer, dir1, and dir2 are on 3 separate partitions, I have to describe the path of dir1 and dir2 fully. Is that sda1 as the name of the partition in the path name?11:15
tripelbThanks. I will look in later. Hope I see it.11:16
fuserHoly hell. When the system is low on memory and you try to copy a large file to a USB the whole thing grounds to a halt. And I'm not talking about scheduling issues. It'll say 9 minutes left (1MB/s) and 9 minutes later it'll say 8 minutes left, still 1MB/s. The whole system breaks the fuck down. The transfer rate must be measured in application time and the kernel must be having a seasure. The thing is, I think I still had a gig or11:25
fuser500MB left of my 16GBs. Once I freed some memory the transfer rate shot up and the system became usable.11:25

Sbur3I'm back ... I was counseled to do a "rsync" to recover the information from my USB memory key.  It has finally started to recover things from F4AA-1C19.  But will it recover from directories on the usb key or will it just recover from the "root" directory?12:14
Sbur3sary: Do you remember my USB memory key problem from a couple hours ago?  Eric^^ helped me by suggesting that I do a rsync to recover my data.  But I don't yet know if the command will recover inside directories on the USB key or just the stuff on the main directory12:17
Sbur3EriC^^: Hello.  Do you remember my usb key problem from earlier?  Will the command you gave me recover in directories inside the usb key or just on surface?12:18

tripelbjer: can I do it in Dolphin/Nautilus or must I use bash?  -- bash is it:  sudo cp -R sda1something target    +++ where do I find what the partitions are called? Will that copy the whole directory structure? (Thanks)16:40
tripelbHet  I am now on a liveDVD, I mean flash drive. How can I become root?(+_+)16:43
tripelbHet IT DOESNT react to sudo16:45
tripelbHer from a liveUSB it does this react to sudo. I can go from a different partition. (Sorry you are busy)16:46
[n0mad]sudo -i ?16:46
[n0mad]sudo su ?16:47
[n0mad]i see info on both of those switching to root but kind of old info16:47

tripelbI have been trying but I can't do sudo from the liveusb17:54
MonkeyDusttripelb  have you tried a fedora liveCD ?17:56
n00b123tripelb: what happens when you type: "sudo nautilus" on the terminal ??17:56
MonkeyDusttripelb  as i understand, you're using ubuntu, to save a fedora partition?17:57
tripelbMonkeyDust: I tried an Ubuntu LiveCD. Now from the fedora partition I don't have permission to create it, the directory, in a data partition.17:58
tripelbMonkey dust not quite. I want to transfer one directory of my data files from the fedora partition to a data partition, or to a 14.04 partition. I don't care.18:04
tripelbMonkeyDust: ^^18:04
tripelbI have been at this for hours started last night. (Had same problem in past and gave up.18:05
oerheksthen you should mount that target partition properly18:05
tripelbIt is mounted.18:06
MonkeyDusttripelb  wild idea ... copy the data to a ntfs partition ... then copy from there to the pubuntu partition ... not sure about the permissions, tho18:09
tripelbWhat is the command to see the read write permissions for a partition?18:09
warri0rrassuming you mounted the partition successfully, you can use ls -l?18:10
ducassetripelb: 'mount'18:10
Seveas_tripelb: there's no such command as partitions don't have permissions, that's a property of the filesystem on them.18:11
tripelbHow do I see if the data partition is NTFS or ext4? I forgot what I made it.18:11
Seveas_tripelb: sudo fdisk -l18:11
MonkeyDusttripelb  lsblk -f18:11
tripelbSudo thanks Seveas_  it would not work without18:11
warri0rrsudo you're welcome18:12
pavlostripelb: mount will list all partitions, see type ntfs and its parameters (rw implies read/write18:13
tripelbwarri0rr: how do I see how big a directory is - in terminal18:13
ducassetripelb: 'du -sh dirname'18:14
tripelbwarri0rr: when I try to write on the ext4 drive with no is on it terminal complained it is not a directory.  I am using /dev/sda1/surname or same without dirname. What up?18:15

warri0rrin order to access its filesystem18:15
warri0rryou cannot access it from /dev/ unless you want to read raw data18:16
pavlostripelb: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt, then create /mnt/surname and write in there18:18
tripelbPablo's I don't understand. (sda1 and sda2 were created by windows.18:24
tripelbI don't know what /many/surname is not Does but I am not writing in sda118:25
tripelbI want to write in sda718:25
warri0rrtripelb: Please explain yourself in proper english...................18:26
pavlostripelb: I have not followed from the top, you just need to read off sda1? can't you mount it in /mnt and read it from there?18:26
tripelbwarri0rr: I want to write to /dev/sda7/ and I don't have permission18:26
Ben64write to it how18:27
pavlostripelb: sda7 is ntfs or ext4?18:27
warri0rrsudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/blahblah and then read?18:27
tripelbpavlos: sda7 is ext4 and has no OS on it.18:28
pavlostripelb: as warri0rr wrote, you can mount /dev/sda7 /mnt and read from there18:28
tripelbIt is mounted warri0rr  and I can read it.18:29
tripelbI want to write to it.18:29

warri0rrBecause you navigated the surface of linux18:30
warri0rrNow you're forced to dive deep18:30
tripelbOk Ben64 I will look up how to do that.18:30
pavlostripelb: mount | grep sda7 ... this should be one line18:30
tripelbI love it warri0rr18:30
Ben64tripelb: sudo chown $USER /mountpoint18:31
tripelbpavlos: yes one long line. I see it.18:32
pavlostripelb: should look like, /dev/sda7 on /mountpoint type ext4 (rw,18:33
tripelbBen64: silly me I typed mountpoint. I must read the output now.18:34
tripelbOk ben64 I don't know what to type in for mountpoint.  That whole long thing beginning with/run/media/coriander/35fa0772-ecbd-4lf1......18:36
Ben64tripelb: probably18:36
tripelbpavlos: looks like the above. There is no word mountpoint in the grep output ..it goes /dev/sda7 on /run/.......18:37
tripelbBe64 then is the command sudo chown $USER / /run.....   Like that?18:38
pavlostripelb: the word mountpoint is an example, the actual mountpoint is /run/media/... (no idea why it mounts in /run18:38
Ben64tripelb: not / /run18:39
tripelbOk /begins the mountpoint18:39
pavlostripelb: can you give the output of, df -T | nc termbin.com 999918:40
tripelbOk pavlos Ben64  it worked. No output from the chown .. I assume success (goes to look up the command.18:41
tripelbYes. The copy works. I learned .. mountpoint and chown. (And fedora isn't better except that it knows my wifi card without an Ethernet hookup. When I install 16.04 I will need ethernet.)18:43
tripelbPavos ben64 thanks18:43
pavlostripelb: np, good luck18:44
tripelbAnd reminded self of df -h18:44
tripelbBye18:44

minimecpmitros: There is a console tool called 'convert'. It is part of the imagemagick package --> https://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php19:25
pmitrosI just installed it. Thank you. It does seem slightly too smart -- the images are showing in correct orientation, so I presume there's some kind of metadata embedded (exif or similar), and it is rotating when displaying.19:25
pmitrosI think convert + exiv2 might be the way to go. Although that seem cumbersome.19:26
pmitrosCumbersome for a few dozen images at a time, but it ought to work.19:27

foozb12Hi. I use a self-compiled version of emacs (emacs 25.1.11). On Ubuntu 16.04, I think because of some strange numbering, software updating & everytime I run apt-get, it will attempt to 'upgrade' my emacs 25 to the repo's emacs 2422:48
foozb12What I've done is put a hold on the emacs 24 package22:49
foozb12However this comes up everytime I use apt-get (like: error configuring emacs24 etc). Is there a way to let apt-get know that I dont want it touched at all?22:50
foozb12I don't understand why it's a problem in the 1st place. Ubuntu sees I have 25.1.11 - and shows that its the 'latest' available on my system. But remove emacs package from hold, and everytime it will try to 'updat'22:52

DuckleHey there ubuntu. So I followed a writeup on how to connect an iphone 7 (well any iphone running iOS 10+) to my ubuntu laptop and get the photos/videos off of it23:18
Duckleworks great, so I took a little script from that gist writeup, and shaved it down a bit to what I needed. It also works fine, if I execute it myself23:18
DuckleHowever I'm running into problems, when trying to get udev to run it when the iphone is plugged in23:18
Exterminadorhello guys. there's someone that keeps saying that will be released 'Ubuntu 18.04 LTS'. truth or myth?23:19
geirhain month 04 of year (20)18, 18.04 will be released, yes, and it will most likely be an LTS release23:20
DuckleHere's the udev rule and the script: https://gist.github.com/dumle29/a351c0b3c82b5f367ead0cb14325ce7623:20
Duckleagain, if I run the script myself it works fine23:20
Exterminadorso, each LTS is released each 2 years23:22
geirha6.06 (was supposed to be 6.04, but got delayed two months), 8.04, 10.04, 12.04, 14.04 and 16.04 were LTS releases23:23
geirhaSo you can probably see a pattern23:23
glitsj16Duckle: Have you tried using 'sudo -u <your-user>' for the RUN+= part of the udev rule yet? Or do it inside the referenced script, which should get you the same result23:24
Exterminadorgeirha: thanks. never looked into that tbh23:25
Exterminador:x23:25
DuckleNope, I'll try that glitsj1623:25

Duckleheh so is mine :P23:41
Duckleok, so journalctl -f is giving me some more info23:42
DuckleWhere would I got to figure out what " systemd-udevd[32007]: Process '/usr/bin/sudo -u mikkel /bin/sh /home/mikkel/usr/bin/ios_mount' failed with exit code 2."  means?23:51
Duckleso it's udev, and it's failing to run my script. It's exiting with code 223:51
