[00:09] can anyone make heads or tails out of this error ? : https://pastebin.com/zYXZi9r9 [00:10] I unmasked it and systemctl still complains [00:12] glitsj16, i tried a solusion i found on ubuntu.com and now opening links from other places than pdf reader works. the pdf reader still gives that permission denied error [00:13] theorem, nice nick name. are you into mathematics? [00:14] yep [00:17] Hi all === zenguy- is now known as zenguy [00:43] wish^: Back . And in that display for the 2 graphic's cards does it show drivers for each ? [00:49] Bashing-om, not that i can read [00:54] If I got s new processor and motherboard would I need to reinstall ubuntu [00:55] wish^: Well, that seems to indicate no driver loaded . Really need to confirm this . Can you boot a older normal kernel from grub's boot menu ? [00:56] configuration: latency=0 on both the entries [00:56] wish^: My display output config line " configuration: driver=nvidia " where I have the nvidia driver loaded . [00:56] Ok so that means I dont have a driver [00:58] wish^: Yeah. no driver loaded . What shows from an older nornal kernel ? Maybe we will have to re-install from that current kernel - when we can boot it . [01:00] This happened when i tried to install the newest driver from nvidia [01:01] on the 4.8 kernel i get driver=nvidia [01:09] When i try to boot it still will not work though :( [01:09] wish^: Installing from nvidia is not the best thing to do . We do have a trusted PPA with the latest tested/optimized for ubuntu . So I guess next is to remove the Nvidia provided driver and see what results installing 1st from the repo . As we are up in the 4.8 kernel, pastebin for me - lspci -k|grep -iEA5 'vga|3d' - And I will match the driver for the cards . [01:10] When i try booting the system is stalling on the Started update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes...pleted startup.p link was shut down [01:10] Ok i will do that command [01:13] 3D Controller: NVIDIA Corp GM107GLM rev a2 [01:13] Kernel driver in use nvidia [01:14] Kernel modules nvidiafb, nouveau [01:15] And then vga controller is Intel corporation device 191d [01:15] Onboard IGD [01:15] Kernel modules: i915 [01:15] Nvidia card is Quadro M1000M === capella_ is now known as capella [01:19] wish^: We want thje 384 driver . What release is this ? [01:20] Release of? [01:20] "newest driver nvidia" newest kernel and newest mesa too ? [01:21] wish^: 16.04 17.04 as the release . see if that card has support in the repo ( it is in the PPA !) . [01:22] 16.04 [01:22] !info nvidia-384 xenial [01:22] Package nvidia-384 does not exist in xenial [01:23] that quadro 1000 is supported from 352.63 and up [01:24] wish^: ^^ so we get the driver from the PPA . For now try booting the latest kernel with the nomodeset boot paramater/ [01:24] Without deleting everything, is it possible to reinstall ubuntu with a live system? For some reason, I'm runningh 250/250/250 a lot on this computer and iotop, top and mem are not showing the load that uptime is showing. Also, some apps are not responding. [01:24] !nomodeset | wish^ [01:24] wish^: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [01:26] cann i just add it when selecting kernel in grub using 'e' to edit boot options? [01:28] wish^: Yes that is the method . from the 'e' mode . Also From Nvidia " Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package. " . [01:30] Am i supposed to just add it nomodeset anywhere in that file? [01:30] wish^: as oerheks knows his stuff . we take that ^^ hint that the 384 version is not required . Be much safer to maintain . [01:41] Is nomodeset a boot flag or a command? [01:43] wish^: It is an argument that grub passes to the kernel to disable kernel mode setting . [01:44] OK i managed to boot with nomodeset [01:45] But i cannot login :( [01:45] Everytime i try to login it restarts gui [01:45] wish^: :) Making good progress . What is the name of the file you downloaded ' sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" ' ? [01:46] I have not downloaded anything yet [01:47] wish^: " Everytime i try to login it restarts gui" At the login screen ' ctl+alt+F1 ' can you log into the system here at this console ? [01:48] Yup [01:48] I am in [01:49] wish^: sudo find / -name [01:49] "NVIDIA-Linux-*" sorry bad paste . [01:50] wish^: sudo find / -name "NVIDIA-Linux-*" . [01:51] That command returns nothing [01:52] I am trying to generate an ssh-key on Ubuntu 14.04.1 with ssh-keygen -t rsa and it succesfully completes but when i go to my ~/.ssh/ directory, there is no id_rsa.pub or id_rsa.priv or known_hosts file at all. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. [01:52] Really appreciate your help on this Bashing-om. This is my work PC and I really need to get it working again [01:53] wish^: OK ! .. now. ' dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | nc termbin.com 9999 ' . The result is a URL back in terminal, pass that link back here . [01:54] wish^: Looks like all we have to do is install a graphics driver . Maybe as easy as that :) [01:54] http://termbin.com/gt9z [01:56] wish^: Yuk ! That shows the 384 version driver installed . Where did you get it from ? [01:56] "newest driver nvidia" sigh.. [01:57] I installed it in the additionnal drivers tab in software in ubuntu [01:57] There was about 5 choices and i chose the newest one [01:57] Before that i was on 370 [01:57] 384 is not is the standard repos. [01:58] 370 als0 [01:58] 361-367-375 are official ones [01:58] wish^: Additional drivers ? Nust be pulling from the PPA as the 384 driver is not in the software repository, yes ? [01:58] !gl [01:59] Must* [01:59] :/ [02:00] I am trying to generate an ssh-key on Ubuntu 14.04.1 with ssh-keygen -t rsa and it succesfully completes but when i go to my ~/.ssh/ directory, there is no id_rsa.pub or id_rsa.priv or known_hosts file at all. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. [02:01] maybe the .ssh directory does not have the correct permissions? [02:02] wish^: it has 700 permissions on the directory [02:03] Bashing-om, oerheks Any ideas what I can do? Should i install a different driver? [02:04] that quadro 1000 is supported from 352.63 and up, so i don't get it why you wanted newer drivers. [02:05] My HDMI port was not working correctly so I thought I would try to update to the newest drivers [02:05] 370 was working fine so maybe i can just revert to that then? [02:07] wish^: want to try a short cut maybe a shot in the dark ? purge and have the system choose what it wants from what it has to choose from for a driver ? Or find out why the 384 version is not working ? Will only take a few minutes to purge/re-install and can hurt nothing to try . [02:07] I am up for anything that can help me get my system working again. Thanks [02:08] depends how you installed this, but yes, go into sources> additional drivers and choose 370 [02:08] I dont have a gui [02:10] wish^: In the interest of getting back to work ' sudo apt purge nvidia* ' then have the system choose ' sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' . [02:16] Hello all. I have been looking around on how to install Ubuntu 17.04 on my X99 Rig which has a 980TI and it seems to always boot to some garbage screen. Anyone have direct knowdlge on how to get this done? im trying to dual boot it. [02:18] !nomodeset | rhcp[cloud] [02:18] rhcp[cloud]: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [02:19] Yep. I used this and many other flags to get 17.04 of a macbookPro 8,4 :) [02:19] let me check the page [02:20] ill try it on there. and report back i guess. [02:21] rhcp[cloud]: sounds reasonable :) [02:22] Bashing-om, ok all that completed. One error kept popping back W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin for module i915 which is the driver for my built in gfx chip [02:24] But should i try to reboot everything after these commands?

Thanks alot Bashing-om [02:31] GUI also works [02:32] wish^: Great ,, we all sleep better now :) [02:32] wish^: What driver did the system choose ? [02:33] 384 [02:34] wish^: Well, all I can surmise is something glitched on the former install attempt :( [02:34] When I run sudo iwconfig ra0 essid xxxxx key xxxxx I get set failed on ra0 ; no such device [02:37] Yea that is probably it [02:37] but the device is listed as ra0 with ifconfig -a [02:38] Shmam: What release ? systemd ? what shows from terminal command ' ip link ' . Is there a ra0 ? [02:39] Again Bashing-om, you really saved me here. Thanks alot [02:41] wish^: Welcome . doing these puzzles beats jig saw puzzles - every time :) [02:42] I want to learn to solve these things my self, but I have such limited time and so many things to learn. [02:43] wish^: Believe me if ya want to and hang in here,,, you will learn :D [02:44] I really should learn this stuff, would help me alot in my job aswell. I do web development work [02:46] Would be nice to be able to manage servers properly [02:48] wish^: Well .. time and effort . man pages are your friend . [02:59] anyone used a zebra label printer? [03:01] Bashing-om: looks like nomodeset did the trick on here too. Was able to install and boot with it. What would I install for 980ti to make things actually work proper ? Thx [03:05] rhcp[cloud]: ' sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall ' Depending ya might get the 384 version driver . [03:07] Looks like 375 [03:07] i wish they'd fix this bug where copying large files to a usb attached drive won't hang - kinda hard to backup the internal drive when this happens - i guess i'll have to try rsync since cp -R ain't getting the job done [03:07] rhcp[cloud]: Good deal 385 is good : reboot and see what ya got . [03:09] rhcp[cloud]: 375* is good . [03:09] Let’s see!

[05:46] Bios [05:46] Grub doesn't load [05:47] It says please insert proper boot device... [05:47] Yet the device is in the list of options? [05:48] Do you mean is it in the bios list of options? [05:50] Correct. It tells you to insert a "proper boot device", and you are able to boot into ubuntu? [05:51] Oh sorrythat's not exactly what I meant you know how when it can't find a boot device it says please insert boot disc and press enter? [05:52] Yes [05:52] That's what it says [05:52] But I may have some more info for you [05:54] it says error attempt to read or write outside of disk '0'. entering rescue mode grub rescue [05:54] so it failed to load grub I think [05:56] I'm afraid we're out of my area of knowledge. I'd probably just install on another disk if I had one, or wipe and reinstall [05:56] I have determined it just need to install grub again which is easy to do [05:57] Way easier then reinstalling the system and configure everything back to the easy I had it before [05:59] Eh. Do it once, ansibilize/ceph it and save it to a repo somewhere. Provision a new one whenever needed [06:00] chef* [06:07] bray90820: is your computer uefi?

[06:08] Yes [06:09] But I actually think I got it [06:17] Interesting, what did you do? [06:26] Well I got grub installed and working but now I get “Welcome to emergency mode!" after grub [06:30] lotuspsychje: got any idea about emergency mode [06:36] bray90820: i dont know what your trying to do..explain the whole story first please [06:36] !details | bray90820 [06:36] bray90820: Please elaborate; your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you.

[06:38] Legacy bios to legacy bios? [06:38] Uefi to legacy [06:40] Since you were using uefi I assume the disk was partitioned with gpt? [06:41] I don't think legacy boot can read gpt disks/// [06:41] but re-install grub in MBR mode [06:41] Well grub actually seems to be working fine [06:42] Can I check if it is in MBR mode [06:42] bray90820: any reason you dont just reinstall ubuntu after new mobo? [06:43] There are a lot of setting and files that would take me upwords of 2 days to restore [06:43] bray90820: make a backup? [06:43] It would take 2 days to restore from the bqckup [06:44] bray90820: lesson number 1 always make backups, to avoid situations your in right now [06:44] I have backups [06:45] I just don't wanna spend 2 days restoring everything [06:49] So I got it [06:49] bray90820: got what [06:49] Everything is booting correctly now [06:49] It looks like things weren't installed correctly to begin with [06:49] bray90820: like what [06:50] I have an lvm I use for data and an ssd for teh system turns out some boot files are installed on the LVM [06:51] I had the LVM unplugged just so I wouldn't overwrite it accidentally but then I plugged it back in after I got grub installed and everything is working now [06:55] But thanks anyways for the help you tried to give me [07:21] Hi. How can I edit a .desktop file so that the app lauches tiled on the right at startup? [07:22] launches* === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:04] hi [08:04] i recently installed ubuntu 16.04 on a fujitsu t5010 laptop [08:05] poffy2_: you need something like devilspie to position and size the window when the app launches, no way to do it in the .desktop file afaik [08:05] there are a couple of things I want to fix or improve and was hoping someone could tell me how or point me in the right direction: [08:05] 1. For some reason whenever the system starts from a cold boot, it checks the disk (only after a recent update) [08:06] 2. I want to optimise battery usage; at the moment I get less than half the time I would with Windows 10 [08:08] 3. I also need to manually start a service. I just go to the appropriate folder and type sudo ./CrashPlanEngine start [08:08] is there a way I can make the service start automatically? [08:08] BRB - dinner [08:15] Hi, I would like to know the meaning of this command "easy_install3 pip" ? [08:15] I know i am installing pip3, but what is "easy_install3" stands for ? [08:23] ducasse, hmm the configuration of devilspie seems hazardous [08:23] If I mount an internal drive, under /mnt/example, what should the permissions be? [08:24] If it stays as root:root then I can't write, but I've I change the owner to : is this bad practice? [08:40] poffy2_: it's really not, but try gdevilspie for a frontend [08:40] I have tried it [08:40] it is not really doing what I require it to do [08:41] if I select maximize vertically then it does not take care of the width :-( [08:44] maybe wmctrl can do it, i haven't used it in ages [08:48] I am using VirtualBox installed Ubuntu 16.04 in it. But the problem is when i boot it, i am unable to see unity panel nor i am able to open terminal, with shortcuts key. [08:57] squarefrog: what type of filesystem is it? [08:57] ext4 [08:59] @geirha mounted through /etc/fstab:/dev/disk/by-id/(the-disk-id)-part1 /mnt/disk1 ext4 defaults 0 0 [09:01] squarefrog: right, ext4, then just treat it as any other directory; that is, chowning to your user is fine [09:02] geirha: chown /mnt/disk1 or just the contents? [09:02] both [09:02] geirha: awesome, thanks! [09:07] squarefrog: oh and you may want the last field of that fstab line to be 2 instead of 0 [09:09] with 0, fsck will never check it for errors. You can read more about that in: man 5 fstab [09:14] geirha oh right, I'll look into that thanks [09:15] I need help getting plex to see my files on a second HDD. I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 [09:55] ke7vyv: whats the issue? [10:03] HI folks [10:36] I'm sure I've asked this before, but why would an IP alias not work on eth1:1 but works fine on eth1:2, eth1:a, or anything else? I do already have an eth1:0 that works without issue. [10:37] I need help. I'm new to linux and I'm trying to setup Plex Media Server and I can't get it to see any of my files on a second or third SATA HDDs. [10:44] ke7vyv: "can't get it" how? any error message? [10:45] ke7vyv: how have you installed Plex - through Docker or by package? [10:46] ducasse: I'm not able to select any of the dirs on the hdd. [10:47] ke7vyv: you probably have a permissions problem, they need to be accessible to the user plex runs as [10:47] squarefrog: I downloaded the .deb file off the website. [10:49] OK, do you have the SATA drives mounted somewhere? [10:49] ducasse: plex is the user that it runs as. [10:52] ke7vyv: do you know what permissions the drives are set as? [10:52] squarefrog: They are mounted at /media/user/plex [10:53] ke7vyv: if you cd to /media/user and run ls -al is the owner of the plex mount plex:plex ? [10:54] or see if the plex user can list the files at all with: sudo -u plex ls -l /media/user/plex [10:54] TIL [10:56] squarefrog: no plex isn't listed [11:00] key7vyv: that could be your issue, try what geirha suggested [11:08] I got a Permission denied [11:08] ke7vyv: then that's your problem [11:09] ke7vyv: plex hasn't got permission to read, you need to fix that [11:09] !permissions | ke7vyv read here for a quick intro [11:09] ke7vyv read here for a quick intro: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [11:39] ducasse: okay so I tried chmod -R 755 /media/user/plex and it still isn't working [11:46] ke7vyv: the user probably lacks execute permission to /media/user [11:54] I've tried multistrap and debootstrap, and neither seems to work. What alternatives do I have? [11:57] Or is there a different way of creating an Ubuntu Trusty rootfs that I can use? [11:59] necrophcodr: debootstrap works well here, at least the last time i tried it [12:00] ducasse: i've used it before and it has served me well, but i can't get it working anymore. not on any of my 14.04 machines. [12:00] i haven't tried on any other machine, because it would be pointless. [12:00] *any other os [12:02] i'm not running trusty here, so dunno about the package version there. what exactly is the problem? [12:02] oh, actually, i'm running 16.04 on my workstation here it seems, and since i just tested it a few hours ago, i guess it doesn't work there either [12:02] ducasse: i'm trying to do the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25182414/ [12:03] it fails on the last line with a problem with dpkg, where it states the symlink sizes changed [12:05] hmmm... [12:18] i dual boot with windows, my ubuntu install is in a luks partition with lvm, i want to add another distro (lubuntu) in a lv however I don’t want the lubuntu install to control the grub, how do i achieve this? [12:21] The recent updates to mesa packages have broken media players and vaapi. Why are such big changes pushed to stable LTS releases? [12:24] sruli, iirc, you can run ubiquity without installing grub [12:25] ioria: thanks, what happens when i run a dist-upgrade in that install, will it not install grub? [12:25] Hello, i have problem with kde start menu. It is slowly typing the letters... like 1 per minute. i can press on keyboard "test" but only "t" appears on screen. [12:26] metaphysician, blacklist it [12:27] I asked a few times in the past regarding a problem i had that after some idle time my system froze and in tty1 i saw many errors that it could not wrote to lower page.. smart data and test all showed the drive to be perfect, i now decided to change the drive and was shocked to find the it was burnt what can cause this to happen? see images here http://i.imgur.com/5zkqiEI.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EOzzIdO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MuUbxl2.jpg [12:27] why does the command "ssh -f -w 1:1 -o Tunnel=ethernet root@server true" create tun1 interface when the docs. I have read say it should create tap1 interfaces? [12:27] ioria: using apt preferences? Where can I download the previous packages now? Anything similar to debian snapshot archive? [12:28] metaphysician, sorry, wrong nick [12:43] hey, is it possible to see the output of a running cron job? [13:21] is this channel for ubuntu server as well? [13:21] hachre: It can be, there is also #ubuntu-server for questions that may not get answered here [13:22] thanks [13:41] hi guys. I am trying to get apache to enable cors. I added a set header line to htaccess and default conf file but it does not seem to work even after restarting apache and enabling header mode [13:43] anyone has a guide for enabling cors on apache, or any other simple web server for static files on how to enable cors for ubuntu 16? [13:43] my keyboard is pressing key "i" sometimes, itself [13:44] i have tried webrick, lightppd, python web server, node web server but non of them worked with cors. (node didn't run at all) [13:58] lavilool: make sure to enable mod_headers (a2enmod headers) [13:59] lavilool: inside your server config add: Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" [13:59] lavilool: or appropriate cors config [13:59] lavilool: https://enable-cors.org/server_apache.html [14:05] elitedev thank you for your reply. I did what you said. it seems to be working. [14:42] key i repeats itself sometimes starts writing itself [14:42] not pressing it or anything [14:45] but only sometimes [14:48] RonaldsMazitis: if wired, change keyboard. if wireless, change batteries [14:48] I have laptop [14:50] RonaldsMazitis: get a can of pressurized air, blow under and around the key [14:51] hey all [14:56] hello. i do have gnome with ubuntu, and when my laptop is docked and its comming back from sleep, if laptop lid is closed it goes sleep again :) [14:56] any solution? :) [14:59] RonaldsMazitis: laptop model? is there a BIOS update you need to apply? [14:59] darme: perhaps the HandleLidSwitchDocked setting in /etc/systemd/logind.conf affects this, not sure [15:00] it has been like half hour and that key is not writing anymore [15:00] laptop asus k750 [15:01] I don't know, I haven't been in bios for lifetime [15:01] I changed keyboard half year ago [15:02] Hello, I have Ubuntu 16.4 and when I try to run software updater it stops and tells me "requires installation of untrusted package". And when I try to do the updates from Ubuntu Software, it always fails [15:04] Also the only software that I installed that wasnt in the Ubuntu Software app, was skype but apparently it's in my allowed sources in Software & Updates [15:04] I would like to do the system updates anyways, is there an other way? [15:08] dedze: can you update via terminal? ... sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [15:11] pavlos: I haven't tried that but I found that it was the skype update blocking it all. [15:12] pavlos: should I worry about this? [15:16] dedze: The output of 'sudo apt update' would tell you what's missing [15:19] dedze: What version of skype did you install? Because version 4.3.0... is not working any longer anyway. So in case you use the old version, uninstall it, remove the repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and install the version from this site https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ I do not have an 'untrusted software' problem with this version. [15:20] minimec: I have skype 5.3.0.1 [15:20] dedze: Ok. Strange that you get this error. I installed this version on multiple computers and never got this error. [15:21] dedze: when i installed skype, it didn't install the repo public key [15:22] pavlos: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25213808/ that whats the terminal gives [15:22] dedze: i needed to "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1F3045A5DF7587C3" [15:23] akik: I'm so new to ubuntu so maybe I thought skype is allowed to do update but it's not? [15:23] dedze: https://askubuntu.com/questions/909312/skype-update-error-when-running-apt-update [15:23] dedze: when i installed skype, it didn't install the repo public key <- that is causing your proble [15:23] dedze: I would download that skype package again and reinstall it. That will probably add the missing key. [15:24] akik: but in Software & Updates > Other Software, there is a v next to https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main [15:24] i just gave you the command which fixes it [15:26] akik: so to confirm, I enter "sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 1F3045A5DF7587C3" in the terminal and it will allow skype to be update? [15:27] dedze: yes [15:29] akik: Oki it's done, I redid sudo apt update, now I have to do sudo apt upgrade? [15:29] dedze: run the task that failed previously [15:30] Oki [15:30] how can I set up my ubuntu server to remove files from a directory every friday at 3am? [15:32] It worked, thanks akik pavlos and minimec !! [15:35] daveomcd: make a cron entry, 0 3 * * 5 (that's every Friday 3am) and call the script to delete files. [15:36] I would like to assign $? to a shell script variable. I tried the obvious x = $? but I get x is not a command error. What is the correct way? [15:41] if you're using bash, something like RETVAL=$? [15:41] then you can call $RETVAL later [15:41] I do that often to ensure commands complete successfully [15:42] so... my coworker's laptop has frozen up for about the twentieth time with ubuntu - as with all the other times, it has locked up and corrupted his partition. [15:42] the lockups seem related to suspend and were 100% guaranteed to happen if he accidentally clicked the suspend icon in unity or closed laptop lid in 4.9 [15:43] in 4.10 kernel, it seems fine for a while, then suddenly does exact same thing. he's developed a seething hatred of ubuntu at this point, but I think keeps trying out of grim masochism [15:44] I dropped by to bring it up again, just 'cause the ubuntu hardware test page is extremely misleading in this case. it just notes "hibernate doesn't work" [15:44] Poster: I put in RETVAL = $? and get ./ping.sh: line 8: RETVAL: command not found [15:44] not "suspend *and* hibernate will corrupt your install entirely if triggered. oh, and 4.10 kernel will do it randomly anyway" [15:45] GrandPa-G: copy it verbatim, no spaces RETVAL=$? [15:45] Poster: works. What is the difference? why does white space count? Is it just the left side that makes a difference? [15:46] ah. seems by miracle the most recent lockup did not corrupt is partition. but still happens 90% of the time tho [15:46] RETVAL without an equal sign is interpreted as a command, I suggest reading up on bash scripting for more details [15:47] Poster: oky doky. thanks [15:49] https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201606-22367/ here's the laptop that's been driving him bonkers if someone wants to slap a big warning sign on it "warning, do not buy to install ubuntu yourself - it will make your life a living hell and eat all your data" [15:50] says linux ready if "installed by manufacturer" perhaps true, if such a thing could be bought, but definitely not true if done yourself [15:50] hm... page now says standard images may not work - that's new? maybe someone is putting warnings on it. good :) [15:52] Can't unmount a LVM on LUKS device. Says: /media/rootfs: target busy. Following these instructions (in a Ubuntu MATE Virtualbox): https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/2015/11/16/how-to-mount-encrypted-lvm-logical-volume/: [15:53] from a live CD [15:53] in virtualbox. [15:59] Updated grub, ubuntu 16.04 based distro, and now grub's screen is black, I can boot if I let it time out or hit enter like normal, its just grub isn't rendering, its just a black screen. [15:59] *grub2 [16:02] salamanderrake: change grub from graphical to text mode, search for docs [16:03] salamanderrake: GRUB_TERMINAL="console" on /etc/default/grub [16:03] I have a voip server running on my vps, how do I find out which user is running it? [16:06] tomeaton17: "sudo ps axfu|less" [16:06] tomeaton17: the first column is the username [16:11] pavlos thanks! [16:11] gabrielc: ok thank you. [16:14] Please tell me someone here knows about adding Ubuntu to an Active Directory domain [16:15] tomeaton17: you're welcome [16:15] This seems odd... $ pip install --upgrade pip [16:15] Collecting pip [16:15] Using cached pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl [16:15] Installing collected packages: pip [16:15] Successfully installed pip-8.1.1 [16:15] You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available. [16:15] Is anyone here familiar with adding an Ubuntu computer to a Windows AD network? [16:18] Simonious: besides the bot muting you for copy/paste fail, seems like you're totally in the wrong channel - pip isn't an ubuntu thing [16:18] would be #python or somesuch presumably [16:19] I guess I'm in the wrong channel too since I'm getting 0 replies. [16:19] It looks like over the weekend 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.16 was replaced by 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.17, however when I apt install it is still pointing to .16 [16:19] axslayer33: see if helps https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html [16:20] sorry, missed the apache2 part :) apache2-bin_2.4.7-1ubuntu4.16_i386.deb [16:21] Tried that, at sudo net ads -k, it tells me "Failed: An internal error occured" [16:23] Exact error: "failed to join domain: failed to look up DC in for domain an internal error occured". I can ping the domain by name, realm tells me I'm already connected [16:23] But I can't see it in the AD. [16:25] axslayer33: https://askubuntu.com/questions/790377/trouble-joining-an-active-directory-domain [16:26] Also everytime I tell it do something related it tells me "ignoring unknown parameter: cient use spnego" [16:26] nemo: I've got pip on ubuntu [16:26] * Simonious shrugs [16:26] I had literall already put it in pastebin too https://pastebin.com/LgTvXSj5 [16:27] axslayer33: copy paste the error on google and read [16:27] I've been doing that for three days.... [16:28] Anyway, I *refollowed* the second link and have two things of note. [16:29] One, it's yelling at me that it failed to initialize kerbereos content. I think I know why this happened, I don't know how to undo it - in the kerberos conf file, I found references to a boatload of domains at MIT. [16:29] I'm not at MIT, so I removed them. Do I just redo apt-get krb5 to repair the file? [16:29] Two, it's now telling me failed due to memory allocation error....which is highly likely, since the ADC is virtual [16:30]
