[00:03] has anyone used UrBackup? === Mittens is now known as MittensJackson [00:08] Holy Goatse batman.. I just logged into an old 14.04 LTS VM (Running Mythbuntu, but that's not important), and updating failed with disk full errors... I didn't do anything to fix the problem except uninstall a few... Dozen kernel images (plus headers...) and now I've cleared up almost 10GB o,.,0 I'm doing a dist-upgrade now to 16.04.02 === MittensJackson is now known as MittensCruise === MittensCruise is now known as Mittens [00:13] aarcane: approximately 300Mb per old kernel . [00:13] It's just crazy how many there were and how much disk space they were taking up... almost 70% of the disk [00:21] howdy! [00:21] aarcane: 16.04 now supports autoremove to auto remove old kernels when now ones are installed . [00:23] Bashing-om, I'm looking forward to it. If my disk wasn't full, I would have just done the upgrade, lol [00:24] aarcane: Edit the autoremove setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades from 'false' to 'true' . [00:25] Bashing-om, I guess I'll need to do that. Thank you for the tidbit ^,.,^ [00:26] upgrade is in progress now. It's "Installing the upgrades" [00:29] Anyone know why my monitor is showing as a 40" in display settings and the desktop and all windows hang over the left, bottom, and right side of the screen. The top all aligns fine though. [00:29] monitor is only 21" [00:37] adding a custom screen resolution (1280x800 16:10) just makes the monitor show "unsupported resolution" [00:42] How do I make my ubuntu machine a socks proxy server? anything I need to do to the ssh settings? [00:44] I want to set ubuntu as a proxy server, and connect my windows 7 machine to it (to browse the web mostly) [00:44] I have OpenSSH installed [00:55] hey guys [00:56] can anyone help me find out if either of these 3 gigabit pcmcia cards will work in current linux? D-Link DGE-660TD then NETGEAR GA511 and TRENDnet Gigabit PC Card Card TEG-PCBUSR [00:57] of if you have it that's aweomse [00:57] generally you need to knwo their chipset, past that you can also try booting up to a live CD/DVD/USB disk [00:59] butI don't have these cards [00:59] I want to know which one works best before buying [00:59] ok then you'll need to research their chipsets [01:00] How does x11vnc, the proprietary nvidia driver, and Xorg play together on a headless server? Trying to troubleshoot a resolution problem [01:00] They can occasionally change based upon the version of the card [01:00] Miguel2013, easy, if you google card + linux, you would find NETGEAR GA511 with issues [01:00] oh wow [01:07] WHy is it when I connect from my windows (putty, with dynamic turned on) to my ubuntu running ssh server, I am unable to use Ubunut as a proxy? [01:07] what to I need to check? [01:10] CuChulaind: that sounds like a how to use putty on Windows as a proxy question [01:11] suppose it would make sense to try it with another ubuntu machine 1st [01:13] CuChulaind: it has very little-to-nothing to do with the ubuntu server and everything to do with the features of putty on Windows [01:14] CuChulaind: read the documentation for putty on Windows or google for proxy with putty for windows [01:14] leftyfb, gotcha, so as long as the ssh server is up and I can connect,it should work hunky dory? No special ssh settings? [01:14] CuChulaind: correct [01:15] leftyfb, thanks, that's good to know [01:15] leftyfb, maybe, since I can do just web browsing, so set up a reverse port forward instead of dynamic? [01:16] when I put it on yahoo the netgear and d-link card seem to have the same chipset [01:26] even their site does not give that info, http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail?prod=235_TEG-PCBUSR#tabs-solution01 [01:27] you only know for sure if you read the lspci 8-digit hex number [01:29] oerheks, the others [01:46] how to screen capture the desktop ?

[02:25] hello [02:25] how do i completely remove steam? [02:27] apt purge steam [02:27] k === Stanley00_ is now known as Stanley00 [02:28] you should be thedevnull === r0Oter is now known as r00ter [03:04] I have a windows/ubuntu dual boot using Grub that worked up until recently when I removed the 2 raid drives that make up Windows. I rebuilt the raid safely but I can't get grub to load Windows. Ubuntu still boots. I get the error can't find device 'DEVICENAME' Nu such command NTLDR This is my pastebin of 40_custom in /etc/grub.d: https://pastebin.com/1S04WefP === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [03:15] TheG0ldenG0d: have you checked that the UUID used in your paste is correct? [03:19] yes [03:19] using blkid [03:20] I pasted the uuid from the output of blkid directly over the line that has the uuid in 40_custom and they match up perfectly [03:21] this is my blkid output https://www.pastebin.com/3mkWCDSR [03:21] TheG0ldenG0d: okay, the error message seems to indicate there's no ntldr found.. tried using 'chainloader +1' yet instead? [03:22] no where do byou place that [03:22] after the search line [03:22] ? [03:23] no, in 40_custom, instead of where you have 'ntldr' [03:24] instead of 'ntldr /bootmgr' sorry^ [03:24] no luck same error === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [03:26] hmm, another way is trying to let os-prober detect your windows.. you need to mount it manually first and run 'sudo os-prober' [03:27] and if os-prober detects it, do the usual 'sudo update-grub' [03:29] TheG0ldenG0d: did you update grub when trying the first one with 'chainloader +1' actually? [03:31] yes [03:31] I know the file system is intact because i can browse the file system in ubuntu [03:32] TheG0ldenG0d: The menuentry you added is for a Windows install configured to boot via BIOS, but you're loading grub (and thus Ubuntu also) via UEFI. [03:33] os-prober doesnt show any out put even after i manually miounted windows [03:34] i disabled secure boot (UEFI) in bios for whats they call lgacy mode for linux [03:34] and other os'es [03:34] how do i fix this ? [03:38] no clue, haven't dual-booted with windows in years.. I can only point you at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair .. [03:39] TheG0ldenG0d: For any reasonable dual boot both OSs need to be configured to boot via the same platform (either both BIOS or both UEFI). Was Windows initially installed for UEFI booting? [03:39] yes. like i said it was working perfectly [03:40] so they would have had to be the same platform and i havent reinstalled any os'es [03:40] TheG0ldenG0d: Did you copy over the EFI System Partition? [03:40] not recently [03:41] TheG0ldenG0d: You say you rebuilt the RAID, was the EFI System Partition containing Windows' bootloader part of this array? [03:42] TheG0ldenG0d: Please run Boot Info Script: https://github.com/arvidjaar/bootinfoscript and pastebin the RESULTS.txt that it produces. [03:42] i think so [03:49] https://pastebin.com/wThCjzf5 [03:59] what size is the file /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi.grb and bootx64.efi.grub [04:00] for you guys [04:01] TheG0ldenG0d: Please try the following menuentry http://paste.ubuntu.com/25217784/ . [04:03] ok rebooting now [04:04] did you substitute my uuid in there [04:06] i mout mine in and have same result [04:06] cant find efi file [04:07] my uuid is longer though [04:08] its a 16 character uuid [04:08] is that the right uuid ? the one in your sample is shorter [04:14] TheG0ldenG0d: Yes I did. The UUID you need is the UUID of the EFI System Partition, which will be a shorter UUID because an EFI System Partition must be vfat and vfat has shorter UUIDs. [04:17] how do i find that [04:17] nm [04:19] no such device uuid then erro finding the efi file [04:27] TheG0ldenG0d: You used exactly the menuentry that I provided, no mondifications? [04:28] except the uuid yes [04:30] but just so i understand why is the efi path the way it is when my efi files are under /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft etc... [04:33] TheG0ldenG0d: There should be no "except the UUID". I used the correct UUID for your system. Please use exactly the menuentry I provided. [04:36] wwhoa that did something weird it said cant find efi file '/efi/'... then a screen with a blue text window that says "could not install security protocol: (2) invalid parameter" with an ok button [04:38] like I mentioned, the path in the chainloader line is not correct [04:40] TheG0ldenG0d: It is correct. /boot/efi/ is a mountpoint and thus all files on the actual filesystem are rooted at that point and do not actually contain '/boot/efi/' in their paths when viewing the filesystem independantly. Are you familiar with mountpoints? [04:41] yea [04:41] Hi, I'm looking for help with a strategy for diagnosing a problem. Right now I have a desktop ubuntu 17.04 that has the screen frozen. However, I can ssh into the machine. I'm wondering how to troubleshoot or unfreeze the screen on the desktop through ssh. Any tips on how to go about this? Thanks. [04:41] but the path is /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft [04:41] This happens periodically, and I can't figure out why. Usually I just end up rebooting the machine, but it's getting annoying [04:42] so shouldnt it be /EFI/Microsoft/..... [04:46] oh wait i think i realize that i didnt explain to you in case you didnt notice. windows is on a raid 0 config with 2 drives and i have another ssd with ubuntu [04:55] TheG0ldenG0d: Can you find another device to connect to IRC with so that you can be at the grub shell and here on IRC at the same time? [05:04] how can I protect my data of being accessing from other super users? === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [05:09] Dro: If they're really able to run as root, and you don't trust them, then you can't trust that machine at all so don't put sensitive information on it. [05:09] Jordan_U, its my machine at office :/ [05:09] they can even see my skype conversations.. etc? [05:10] everything is visible for sudo users? [05:10] Dro, External detachable storage. When you know another sudo user is connected, disconnect your external storage. [05:10] aarcane, that will be hard to do :P [05:11] just a bit curious if they can see navigation data.. etc [05:11] Dro: They *can* do anything they want. It's up to you to decide how likely they are to do so and how that affects how you use the machine. [05:12] Jordan_U, any tips to keep my navigation data private ? [05:12] sudoers + no direct root logins + remote logging tends to discourage misbehavior from other admins [05:12] Dro, most of that data is not in a format that is easy to understand, but yes, they can see it. Only exceptions being physically unmounted media, or strongly encrypted media. I believe ubuntu still offers to encrypt your home dir? [05:12] for example concerning Skype conversations, should I use web.skype.com to protect my private conversations ? [05:13] Dro: if you're doing it on a computer they have root, then they could see that too [05:13] aarcane, yes it offer it, but root can access it even if encrypted [05:13] aarcane: If dro ever decrypts the file using this machine then it *could* be compromised. (I'm not saying that it's at all likely that they would go through the work needed to actually do so). [05:14] Dro, once you log out and your home dir is re-encrypted, then they can no longer access it. [05:14] eh that's not necessarily true [05:15] aarcane, aha ok, thanks for the info [05:15] Hi all.. Is there a way for me to list all the run-levels for which a particular program (mysql server in this case) is enabled? [05:15] Ben64, so you think its not possible to have a private data ever in that machine? [05:15] i.e. apart from looking at contents of rc0.d to rc6.d folders [05:16] Dro: if someone else has root, it cannot be guaranteed [05:16] Ben64, well lets say for example: I use a navigator on private navigation mode, and accessing skype with web.skype.com , how they can get my data [05:17] no history kept in this case I guess! :D [05:17] because they have root. they could be recording the screen and all inputs [05:17] hmmm [05:17] hmmm [05:18] If I try to disable it from auto-starting with `sudo update-rc.d mysql disable` I get the following warning : [05:18] insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `mysql' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). [05:18] looks like there is no hope to have a private corner with that machine ! :/ :P [05:19] Dro, boot into your USB Live image? [05:20] aarcane, its my office machine, I have work stuff there (phpstorm ..etc) so i have to use it :P [05:20] Hey [05:20] I think you can copy phpstorm from one PC to another and maintain the installation and activation, but I'm not 100% sure on that. [05:20] I was just wondering if ALL data in that machine are visible for sudoers [05:20] Can I ask a question? [05:21] aarcane, forget about that idea, I have LAMP installed too.. etc, etc :P [05:21] dot0x01, you just did, didn't ya? Do you have another that's more interesting. [05:21] dot0x01, don't ask to ask, just ask! :D [05:21] Dro, it's a fairly deep rabbit hole... but LAMP is easy to install and configure, and so are etc, and etc :P [05:21] lol [05:22] do ask to piss? [05:22] jk [05:23] brahmana: Current Ubuntu releases use systemd, and before that used upstart. Neither use runlevels. What version of Ubuntu are you using and what is your end goal? [05:23] thanks for your help aarcane, Ben64 Jordan_U.. time to go to that machine lol :P [05:24] Dro, don't do anything too stupid now, y'hear? [05:24] Is there an actual difference between using the software updater GUI pre-installed on Ubuntu and using apt-get update? [05:24] Like, I simply don't understand. [05:25] Jordan_U: 16.04. I do not know why the mysql package is using Sys V style init scripts. I thought everything was systemd but for some reason this one is still init script. [05:25] dot0x01, well, on the gui you usually use your mouse to click, where as with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade you're typing out commands manually. [05:25] The end goal is to find out what run levels this particular script is enabled to run on. [05:25] So, it _really_ doesn't matter which one you use? [05:25] I'm rebuilding my home fileserver after a hardware failure, and decided to move from openindiana to ubuntu, I'm having a hard time importing my zfs pool though because it was in a failed state from when the old system failed (The SATA controlled failed and all 5 disks went offline at once) [05:26] Is there any way to save this? Can I just add the drives to the failed pool until it thinks it has enough replicas or something? [05:26] Jordan_U: And also to find out a way to disable that warning. That warning troubles apt upgrade since upgrade stops without an enabled Mysql service [05:26] dot0x01, I mean if you've already got the GUI open and don't want to type the commands, then it kinda makes more sense to use the GUI, right? but if you're already in a console and just want to type it in rather than navigating to it in the menus, it makes more sense to just type it in, right? I mean either way they're doing the same thign on the backend.. The result is the same. [05:27] Oh okay, thanks. That's what I was wondering. At first I thought they would have different sources regarding the updates etc. [05:27] So I was a bit unsure about all of it. [05:27] dot0x01, just don't confuse apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. [05:28] As someone who recently dumped Windows, I'm trying to learn my way around Ubuntu. [05:29] aarcane: what's the difference? [05:30] dot0x01, wadadli: apt-get update; tells the package manager to update the list of available packages from online sources. apt-get upgrade; tells the package manager to *install* newer available packages. [05:31] brahmana: What is the problem you had that initially started this? [05:32] sudo? [05:34] theablestman, ?: application not found [05:35] whats are you trying to do [05:36] https://paste.ubuntu.com/ it [05:39] theablestman, I'm just here hanging out and helping people.. But you just pasted an odd command. [05:39] What is the problem? [05:39] sudo no longer? [05:39] im on 14.04ls [05:39] lts [06:46] Hi There [06:49] How can I resolve local FQDN? I can ping "xx" on my network, reply is "64 bytes from xx.mydomain.local (192.168.x.x) etc", BUT ping directly "xx.mydomain.local" doesn't work. How is it possible ? [06:52] I can ping short machine names but not FQDN [06:55] DannyButterman: It may be possible because there is a PTR record since ping is using a reverse dns lookup to tell you the domain given an ip. === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner [07:02] Jordan_U: You mean the problem is on the DNS servers ? They are AD servers, and all the windows machines have no problem resolving partial names or FQDN [07:04] DannyButterman: .local is used by avahi I think, so disable that [07:05] or well, change the domain name it uses [07:05] DannyButterman: some random page that explains it http://www.lowlevelmanager.com/2011/09/fix-linux-dns-issues-with-local.html [07:05] people should stop using .local for their AD domains :) [07:06] hateball: Disable avahi ? Whats the downside if I do that? No I can't change the domain name, It's professional context [07:06] DannyButterman: You can disable the domain name avahi uses, not the AD Forest obvs [07:06] err change [07:06] not enough coffee [07:07] hatebal: :D [07:07] DannyButterman: well avahi is used to discover devices on your local network [07:07] it's... for home use [07:07] hateball: ok then no remorse [07:08] maybe there's another solution that lets you keep both working proper, but that's more than I know [07:08] Hateball: That's good enough for me thanks === mniip_ is now known as mniip [07:23] hello [07:23] I'm using 14.04 lts, my X system don't go , I'm using irssi from bash in txt mode [07:24] my error is : Loading extension GLX [07:24] modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmo [07:24] etc ... [07:24] Paulus3: Is this a fresh installation? If not, has anything interesting happened recently that might be related to this problem? [07:24] I tried to install noveanu but nothing , I'm using nvidia gt610 [07:24] sounds like you need to reinstall your nVidia or AMD proprietary graphics drivers. [07:25] yes, it's fresh, i UPGRADE IT FROM 12.04 [07:25] excuse me [07:25] I must install proprietary nvidia drivers , really ? [07:26] Paulus3: You upgraded by re-installing? [07:26] I'm using a hdmi video port, but from debian it go without error, strage [07:26] upgraded [07:27] Paulus3: OK. I would not call that a fresh install then. Was it working before upgrading then not working immediately after the upgrade? [07:27] before working perfectly with hdmi video and audio [07:27] Paulus3, you don't *need* too install proprietary drivers, but they're generally easier. Jordan_U may be able to help you, but the easiest way to fix it is to purge X and nouvou and reinstall them. [07:28] Paulus3, also, make sure you reboot. [07:28] You can use the "ubuntu-drivers" utility to install/use proprietary drivers from cli [07:28] apt-get purge .... ? [07:28] Installing nvidia blob will manually blacklist nouveau [07:29] Paulus3: How did you upgrade? [07:29] with apt-get upgrade from cli [07:30] That doesnt upgrade distro version [07:30] Jordan_U: I'll never upgrade it's too long, better reinstall === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [07:31] apt-get dist-updrage excuse me [07:31] Paulus3: You did not follow the upgrade instructions then, and either haven't upgraded at all or have upgraded using a method that is explicitly unsupported. [07:31] apt-get dist-upgrade excuse me [07:31] !upgrade | Paulus3 [07:31] Paulus3: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [07:32] Paulus3: dist-upgrade only upgrades packages within your current release, to move from 12.04 do-release-upgrade is used [07:33] To be sure what you're actually running: cat /etc/issue [07:33] ah... so I have new packet with old core [07:33] packets [07:33] Paulus3: well dist-upgrade will move you to a new kernel, if one is available [07:34] Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS \n \l [07:34] Paulus3, I've never heard of anyone doing that... Not even sure if it can be fixed at this point.. [07:34] Paulus3: "sudo apt-get upgrade" alone will not change distro versions. The only difference between it and "sudo apt-get upgrade" is that dist-upgrade will remove packages if needed to upgrade. If you also manually changed the release name in /etc/apt/sources.list then you followed an unsupported upgrade procedure and thus it wasn't expected to work. [07:34] Paulus3: did you manually edit sources.list? [07:34] If you were using nvidia proprietary driver, it's possible dkms failed to build new modules for the new kernel [07:34] no , source.list is the same of before [07:35] Paulus3: Then you had Ubuntu 14.04 before you ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [07:35] Jordan_U: what release upgrade with this command ? [07:36] 14.04 or 16.04 ? [07:36] Paulus3: I don't understand your question. [07:36] Paulus3: dist-upgrade would move you from say 14.04.1 to 14.04.5, but to go to 16.04 you need to use the command do-release-upgrade [07:36] with apt-get dist-upgrade ; this system upgrade to 14.04 or 16.04 lts ? [07:36] Paulus3: No release of Ubuntu upgrades to a newer release just by running "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". [07:38] how past from command line to paste ? [07:38] and convert output to english ? [07:38] traslate output to english I mean [07:38] Paulus3: I'm saying that if all you've run is "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and you have Ubuntu 14.04 now, you had Ubuntu 14.04 before running "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". My guess is that you were mistaken in thinking that you were using Ubuntu 12.04 when you ran "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and that you have not performed any upgrade to a newer release at all. [07:39] Paulus3: If you run "export LANG=C" then any command you run in that shell will output in English. [07:39] apt-get dist-upgrade ; give me error of dependence [07:39] dist-upgrades can be treacherous. Make sure you have installed the latest updates first and that you installation is pretty stock. [07:40] hi [07:40] it suggest me to run apt-get -f install ; this command give me error [07:40] that could be anything. pastebin the error, Paulus3 [07:40] Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libdaq2_2.0.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb [07:40] E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [07:41] a simple mode to make go X ? [07:41] to do go x ? [07:42] I need install proprietary nvidia drivers ? [07:42] or not ? [07:43] isn't that something to do with the sources file? try to remove it and make another [07:43] I had no space under /boot and did a dpkg --remove linux-image-{extra-,}4.4.0-{53..78}-generic and a dpkg --remove linux-image-{extra-,}4.4.0-{80..86}-generic. I had to do the first command twice because it wouldnt complete without free disk space under /boot (but did free some space anyway) [07:43] after that, I now have initrd.img-4.4.0-{65,66,70,71,72,75,78}-generic left over [07:44] how should I approach these files? just delete them or should i go the safe way of reinstalling each kernel package and then removing it? [07:45] TomyWork: if you only removed the packages, you need to purge them to get rid of the initrd iirc [07:45] hello [07:46] ducasse nope, i only have leftovers from the first command [07:46] not the second command [07:46] so it definitely has to do with the first command failing due to disk space and is not normal behaviour during a package removal [07:47] TomyWork: check with dpkg -l that there are no residuals left [07:48] ducasse linux-image-extra-4.4.0-65-generic linux-image-4.4.0-65-generic both in "rc" state [07:48] reinst required, interesting [07:48] dpkg did not object to me removing it [07:48] TomyWork: try purging them [07:48] and apt-get -f install did not attempt to solve the problem [07:49] hello [07:49] actually nm, wrong column. r is for "remove desired" [07:49] to purge X ? [07:49] apt-get remove ... ? [07:49] Paulus3: i was not talking to you [07:50] Paulus3, i was. i've had that error before when i had a problem with my sources file - which is why i asked [07:50] ducasse dpkg --purge linux-image{-extra,}-4.4.0-65-generic => /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-65-generic is still there [07:51] TomyWork: if dpkg -l can no longer see the package it should be safe to just delete it afaik [07:51] i'll just do a for x in 65 66 70 71 72 75 78; do packages=(linux-image-{extra-,}4.4.0-"$x"-generic); apt-get install "$x" && apt-get remove "$x"; done [07:51] with only 2 installed kernels that should be reasonably fast [07:52] hmm spot the error :) [07:52] for x in 65 66 70 71 72 75 78; do packages=(linux-image-{extra-,}4.4.0-"$x"-generic); apt-get install "${packages[@]}" && apt-get remove "${packages[@]}"; done # fixed [07:54] except 65 is no longer available in the repos :/ === the_ant1 is now known as the_ant [08:02] Hello [08:02] hola [08:08] I'm having difficulty creating a Live USB on Macbook via terminal. I've gone through all of the steps outlined in "Manual Approach" from this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick but once I get to step 9 I get an error that says "No such file or directory" Ive gone through the steps a dozen times and dont understand why it isn't working. Anyone have any ideas? [08:09] I've tried googling everything I can think of [08:10] newuser123123: you sure that the parameter to the if you give is correct? [08:10] can you show a screenshot of the terminal window with your command and the resulting message [08:11] or just pastebin it [08:12] that's an option as well [08:14] newuser123123: What is the exact command that you ran? [08:15] https://pastebin.com/qfYMDEfy [08:15] newuser123123: you have the .img file that you want to write onto the stick on the stick itself [08:15] that doesn't work [08:15] you need to have the img file somewhere on your harddrive [08:16] how is it that a daily artful desktop image (downloaded an hour ago) has 10 packages upgradable already?! [08:16] and then just copy all of the files over to the flash drive after the command has executed? [08:16] !ubuntu+1 | icey [08:16] icey: Artful Aardvark is the codename for Ubuntu 17.10 - Support only in #ubuntu+1 [08:17] maybe you downloaded a pack of images, icey [08:17] newuser123123: what files? you are writing the contents of the .img file onto the stick via that dd command, nothing else [08:17] gotcha, this is my first time doing a live usb [08:17] np [08:17] haha! [08:18] thanks! [08:18] ducasse: it's not really a support question, just wondering about 10 updates since image build :-P [08:18] newuser123123: Note that that command will destroy all data on that USB drive. [08:19] icey: it's a question about a development release, so it goes in #ubuntu+1 [08:19] Noted! [08:19] icey: but yes, there are tons of updates daily now [08:21] ducasse this worries me: The link /vmlinuz is a damaged link\nRemoving symbolic link vmlinuz \n you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub]\nThe link /initrd.img is a damaged link\nRemoving symbolic link initrd.img \n you may need to re-run your boot loader[grub] [08:21] i should be fine after a dpkg --reconfigure $current_kernel, right? [08:22] Hi! I can not connect to WIFI, in network options in upper menu I only see ethernet. What could cause this problem? [08:22] I am using 16.04 LTS [08:22] TomyWork: yes, but just check the links to make sure [08:28] ducasse dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-{extra-,}4.4.0-{79,87}-generic completed with no warnings and the symlinks are back [08:28] TomyWork: goodie [08:29] navoj pastebin the output of "rfkill list" [08:30] TomyWork: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25218861/ [08:31] so it's not blocked [08:31] *shrug* this is the end of my knowledge, sorry [08:32] thanks anyways [08:32] i dont have an "upper menu" so i assume you're using a different DE than me, so i cant even help you with your WLAN configuration tool [08:32] ahh :/ by "upper menu" i think on a menu bar where clock, battery power etc is [08:33] navoj: which wifi chipset is this? [08:33] ducasse how I can check that? [08:34] navoj: pastebin the output from 'sudo lshw -c network' [08:35] ducasse: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25218874/ [08:37] navoj: RTL8821AE, you might need a driver for that. realtek chipsets are notoriously troublesome. [08:39] ducasse where I can find it? :/ [08:39] navoj: https://askubuntu.com/questions/525703/realtek-rtl8821ae-wifi-driver-alternative [08:40] ducasse my wifi connection worked for some time but it just went disconnecting and it disappear in one moment [08:40] navoj: that's what i mean by realtek being crap === MrC is now known as Ben_ [08:42] ducasse so only solution is to change card? [08:42] navoj: read the link i posted [08:43] thanks :) [08:44] navoj: good luck. i'd just get a better wifi chipset, though. [08:52] hi all, having a problem turning my wifi adapter into an ap any idea? https://pastebin.com/HS1yBkcB <-- can someone help? [08:56] do you know if the adapter supports it? linux wireless might [09:13] pagios, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Hostapd#Requirement [09:18] Evening all [09:18] My freshly installed Ubuntu 16.04 server is suspected to be flooding my network .. has anyone got some pointers ? I'm reasonably noob when it comes to Linux networking! :( [09:19] Evonuts: did you run software update after installation? [09:19] pvdisplay shows /dev/sda3 as being part of a volume group, yet fdisk -l /dev/sda shows /dev/sda3 not as "8e Linux LVM" but as "83 Linux". Is that a problem? [09:20] SwedeMike: Hi, thanks for the response.. yep I'm all up to date.. [09:20] As in there's no update notices on ssh session [09:20] "apt-get upgrade -d" lists no upgrades? [09:21] ok.. I lie.. there's 7 available! :) [09:21] 7 packages can be updated. 0 updates are security updates. [09:21] (-d stands for "download only", just in case it starts working right away :)) [09:21] Thanks for the explanation.. I often just throw the updates... so happy to run to clear those 7 if required. [09:22] grub-common grub-pc grub-pc-bin grub2-common - FYI [09:22] Requiring update. [09:22] hello [09:22] A quick run down of the issue if I may ... [09:23] The server had similar flood issues previously.. .so I've entirely blown the box and started fresh ... [09:23] It's been up for a couple of days without much issue... which lead me to believe I'd cleared whatever was happening.. but today it brought the network down as it had done previously.. [09:25] If the network cable is pulled.. the rest of the network comes back instantly... [09:25] Returning the cable and the network dies.. [09:25] Until a reboot on that box. [09:26] So my assumption is that something on that box is causing some form of network flood.. but I have no idea how to diagnose it :( [09:27] At the moment it has a high port open (and nat'd thru the router) for SSH, and another port open / nat'd for another service.. but that service is not loaded presently (and the issue appears to occur regardless) === jstein_ is now known as jstein [09:34] I'm having wifi problems on a fresh install of ubuntu 16.04. Network manager shows I am connected to the wifi but I cannot access any websites [09:35] try trace to see where packets are being lost [09:36] the fact that you're on here says to most that the internet is working [09:37] The network is in another location than where I am at the moment... [09:37] and do you mean 'tracepath' specifically ? [09:38] Oh sorry .. I missed the other question here. Ignore me [09:38] heh, sorry [09:39] Rumpled: I dont have a tracer program, and most likely it would be blocked by the network anyway. I also cant ping stuff [09:40] tracepath is the default [09:40] i think it requires sudo [09:41] Doesnt require sudo FYI [09:41] Rumpled: 1: send failed: [09:41] resum: pmtu 65535 [09:41] okay, don't know why i thought it did then [09:42] maybe traceroute does, who knows [09:44] does this network require a login? [09:45] vbotka, https://pastebin.com/FRLXpRAY [09:45] Rumpled: yes, but I think it is logged in because network manager shows that the pc is connected to the wifi network [09:46]
