[00:00] buggaboosanchez: that sounds like something to ask Eramba about? [00:00] buggaboosanchez: or i'm not quite sure what you're asking :) [00:01] nacc: Yeah, that isn't possible so at that poihnt it hit a brick wall [00:02] what about making that one program use a different (earlier) version of php? Would that be doable? [00:04] buggaboosanchez: so it's purely about php dependencies? [00:04] buggaboosanchez: what version do you have and do you need? [00:19] nacc: I am so sorry I am at the library and it's closing. I have to go but will come around asking again. Yes, it was some clause written in his code in php-5 but php-7 absolutely wouldn't take it anymore. I code some but not php really. It looks like they're waving an update over our heads for about 6 mos now. Maybe next year (unless I can find some hack to get the existing version up and running). I gotta go. Sorry. Will return [00:20] I'm trying to find a way to open multiple instances of firefox with defined window coordinates on a separate monitor here in Linux ( Ubuntu 16.04 / Gnome ) Would anyone care to chime in on the subject or please perhaps, point me in the general direction of such said info. [00:24] Hi, I'm having some difficulties installing ubuntu into an old laptop, it can't boot from USB and I don't have a disk burner. [00:25] I started querying google but I thought I'd stop in here to to ask also . [00:25] does you install media work in a nother computer ? Can you test that ? [00:26] It's not the install media, the laptop simply won't allow me to boot from USB [00:26] You [00:27] Only Floppy or DVD/CD, which I can't use. [00:27] d most likly need to take the hard drive out and install the files from another computer. Then with some wizardry get it to boot on the other hardware [00:27] !install | brigs11 [00:27] brigs11: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate [00:28] brigs11: floppy ? seriously how old is that thing lol :0 [00:28] Thinkpad R40, Pentium II. [00:28] You can install Ubuntu using a live USB pen drive. This is much faster than a CD/DVD. [00:29] brigs11: Why even. I think It would need to be an other kernel version. I'm not %100 on that though [00:29] to be an older kernel... [00:30] Just a p2 is getting pretty old [00:30] expect for nostalgia maybe [00:31] For any serious tolerable usage much more can be had for very little these days [00:32] For fun lol, in any case I can't install from USB. The BIOS won't allow me to boot from it. I have tried unetbootin but the processor this computer has doesn't have the flags to indicate that it has PAE when it can does, according to google. The workaround doesn't work in the unetbootin launcher. [00:34] with no cd drive then your duped. unless you put the hard drive in another computer. And it will be ide so unless the other pc is quite old then you will need an adapter [00:35] I'll go out on a whim here and say the unit does not support any sort of network boot from the bios at all eh ? [00:36] Nope. [00:36] whim hmm limb maybe [00:36] lol [00:36] Maybe wubi will work [00:37] does it have a bootable operating system on it now ? [00:38] Yes, Windows XP Pro. [00:38] I just mounted an old ubuntu installation on mac using etx4fuse, all files seems to be there, but the directory /home is empty. is this a known permission problem? does ubuntu not permit /home to be accessed when mounted like this? [00:39] Well since you mentioned that. I also for got about the floppy. You have a few options now [00:41] a|i was /home on a different partition ? [00:43] CoreJohnson: good point, I don’t think it was, there is only one linux partition and one linux swap partiion. [00:45] could have been mounted somewhere else [00:45] Could check out the os's fstab config [00:48] CoreJohnson: you’re right, /etc/fstab shows /home points to /dev/sda9, hmm but there is no such parition on that disk. [00:49] Wubi doesn't seem to work, HTTP Error 404 Not Found. [00:52] a|i: how many drives are there ? Maybe it was re-appropriated before [00:53] CoreJohnson: only 1 drive, I wonder it the old disk is corrupted. [00:57] brigs11: I've never tried wubi before. It depends if you want a native install or it to run threw windows. But the idea of running linux threw xp like in a VM on a pII.... Frankly the thought of the slowness hurts my brain to even think of it [01:01] a|i: perhaps. Can you check it out ? [01:06] Hmm, I think I'll give up on this one for now. Thanks for the help CoreJohnson. [01:12] brigs11: Right on man.

Trying to install a package on 16.04, and hitting an error. Pretty sure I've seen this error before and that there is a simple command to fix it, but can't remember it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25230435/ [02:22] kkerwin: try this [02:22] sudo apt-get install -f [02:22] to grab deps [02:23] croberts: Fails w/same error. [02:23] :( hmm not sure then [02:23] Wasn't there a similar one w/dpkg? [02:23] usually that fixes it [02:24] found this dpkg doesn't have dependency support. There is a way around it but that would require you to make a local database (and thus you would already know the dependencies) and it is considered obsolete (...). [02:24] everything shows apt-get install -f [02:24] so not sure why its not working sorry [02:24] Oh shit. I forgot. I'm running debian on this box, not ubuntu. My bad. That said, I had the same problem on 16.04. I'll go talk to the upstream folks. [02:24] usually that is a fix all [02:24] ah [02:26] kkerwin: Try: ' sudo dpkg-reconfigure opensmtpd ' . [02:27] "is broken or not fully supported" [02:28] And, Bashing-om: that was the command I was thinking about. Pursuing aid in debian channel as that is what this box is supporting. [02:28] Thanks, all, for your help. [02:28] kkerwin: :) [02:29] hello [02:30] could anyone help me out [02:30] im trying to follow this guide https://medium.com/@mmiglier/ubuntu-installation-on-usb-stick-with-pure-efi-boot-mac-compatible-469ad33645c9 [02:30] but at the end i get a problem at radeonfx somthing [02:30] and i need to boot with nomodeset [02:30] but how can i do that from the command line [02:31] is there like a boot -nomodeset [02:31] !nomodeset | Ericthegreat [02:31] Ericthegreat: 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 [02:36] I am trying to setup udev so that when I plug a headset in it becomes the default microphone and speaker automatically, using Ubuntu 16.04 GNOME and struggling as I know little about alsa or pulse audio and I think I have both maybe, not sure if you can or why you would [02:36] in short: help...please :) [02:45] @bashing-om ive needeed to use nomodeset before, but I have a ubuntu installation on a usb stick that I want to boot from, but i was told that i cannot do that from the osx launcher until i set up the correct type of partition, so im useing grub from the live cd going into the command line initializeing root the vmlinuz and the initrd then i boot i need to boot nomodeset from there [02:46] linux_user: Is this a USB headset? What happened when you plugged it in before making any other changes. I thought switching to USB headphones whne plugged in was the default. [02:47] aparently not [02:48] apparently not... [02:49] I know very little about Linux audio but when I plugged the headset in via USB and ran espeak, it still came out the speakers [02:49] I tried writing a udev rule but to no avail. [02:52] Ericthegreat: Sorry - I know nothing of osx or what it expects. When you boot up the installer one can set nomdeset as a boot parameter in grub's boot command line from the F6 options menu . [02:52] Jordan_U: I think it might be broken [02:53] @bashing-om ill try that but is that the same as the e menu because then i cant get there after ive specifyed the settings in command line [02:55] Ericthegreat: No, the 'e' is in the installed system to have grub pass to the kernel . You want to pass the parameter from the installer, right ? [02:56] @bashing -om i need to pass it from the grub comman line [02:56] @bashing-om i need to pass it from the grub comman line [02:57] Ericthegreat: In the install stage . yes ? [02:59] @bashing-om >.>; I mean i have a usb with ubuntu installed but no bootloader, so i boot into the grub on the live installer i press c i set root i set vmlinuz i set intrid then i boot [03:00] but in that boot i need to specify nomodeset [03:01] https://medium.com/@mmiglier/ubuntu-installation-on-usb-stick-with-pure-efi-boot-mac-compatible-469ad33645c9 [03:01] im at the part [03:01] Finally type: grub> boot You should find yourself booted into your installation! [03:01] i need to specify nomodeset [03:02] Jordan_U: Nope, the headset works fine with Windows, Linux, Alsa, or PulseAudio must be broken. [03:06] Ericthegreat: OK, understood at last . but I know of no way to pass a boot parameter from the grub prompt :( [03:08] @bashing-om yea thats where im at thanks for helping, but if anyone knows a way, ill be in irc for a bit [03:08] I need help properly configure LAMPP server permissions in Ubuntu 14 LTS.

[03:11] Hold on a sec. [03:11] because all i need to do is modify some stuff then ill be able to boot [03:12] but i need the terminal functions to use my install not the live cd [03:12] Anyway, you want to chroot into your system using a live cd [03:13] i guess?

[04:37] (Figured the former hundreds is useless, given they all worked as expected) [04:37] CodeMouse92__: following a guide somewhere?

Three times. ;) [04:39] Everything pasted above was BASED on it [04:40] CodeMouse92__: ubuntu version and python version plz?

[04:44] The trick is figuring out *what* in system lacks [04:45] CodeMouse92__: check this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapcraft/+bug/1587193 [04:45] Launchpad bug 1587193 in Snapcraft "build of python3 snap fails with 'error: option --single-version-externally-managed not recognized'" [Undecided,Expired] [04:46] lotuspsychje: Yeah, found that too. Note, no activity [04:46] CodeMouse92__: add yourself affected to the bug also [04:47] CodeMouse92__: then describe all details of yourself, ubuntu version, etc.. [04:47] CodeMouse92__: after that report the updated bug into #ubuntu-devel [04:47] Say what now? [04:47] Just tell them in #ubuntu-devel that I updated it? [04:48] CodeMouse92__: yes, there are the devs at, and they have the power to look into it again [04:48] okay [04:48] CodeMouse92__: make sure you explain the whole story okay [04:48] kk [04:48] CodeMouse92__: tnx for helping the community [04:51] CodeMouse92__: another thing to test would be creating that snap with 16.04 [04:51] lotuspsychje: That's easier said that done, but I'll see what I can manage [04:59] !info python-pip zesty [04:59] python-pip (source: python-pip): Python package installer.

[07:13] hi friends! === jackNemrod_ is now known as jackNemrod [08:29] anyone know what the deal with xubuntu 16.04 not saving desktop icon locations is? [08:54] should i be using fakeroot to build kernel from source === Jochen_wvdT is now known as Schlawiner === satanist_ is now known as satanist [09:00] I did just install ubuntu on one of my machines. The mouse went smooth without lagging in the live-usb-mode, but when running it after the installation is done. It lags so much... Not sure where I should start looking for the solution. Could it be the graphic drivers? [09:11] is there a workaround for getting the icons on the desktop to save their positions between reboots? [09:13] Hi guys, I want to point root to subdirectory using htaccess. Suppose if i hit xyz.com/admin then it should redirect to xyz.com/admin/admin/ but url will remain same xyz.com. any suggestion ? [09:13] fugee: You shouldn't need to use fakeroot (or real root) to build a linux kernel, though if you're building a debian source package of the kernel then you should use fakeroot or some other method of appearing to run as root to build the package as you sould for any debian source package. [09:15] any suggestion ? [09:17] Hi guys, I want to point root to subdirectory using htaccess. Suppose if i hit xyz.com/admin then it should redirect to xyz.com/admin/admin/ but url will remain same xyz.com. any suggestion ? [09:17] hi [09:18] ehm, smartmon keeps sending me emails about pending sector on a disk [09:18] but when I list the disk manuallu using [09:18] smartctl -a /dev/sdi [09:18] I don't see any issues. [09:18] is smartmon upto date [09:19] Jordan_U: i need to build kernel from source, that's all i know, debian is not preferred https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel [09:22] fugee: Ubuntu's source and binary pacakge formats are the debian source and binary package formats. Those instructions say to use fakeroot and they are correct. [09:23] then source=debian? [09:24] Jordan_U ^ [09:25] fugee: I don't understand your question. [09:26] if i'm building from source i have to use what you say "debian source" and also fakeroot? [09:26] Jordan_U ^ [09:27] fugee: You should follow the instructions that you linked to. [09:27] ty [09:30] fugee: Those instructions include grabbing Ubuntu's source kernel pacakge (whitch is a thing that uses the debian source pacakge format) and using fakeroot, among other tools, to build it. [09:31] ty [09:31] fugee: What is your end goal? What problem are you trying to solve? [09:32] Jordan_U thanks for asking; chrome os 3.8.11 trying to install kernel headers on a chromebook [09:32] so i can install virtualbox [09:33] means i have to build kernel from source [09:33] because building from git clone failed [09:33] so i'm trying from source [09:35] Jordan_U https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/wiki/Build-kernel-headers-and-install-Virtualbox-(x86) [09:35] Jordan_U crouton [09:35] what is -Werror [09:35] fugee: No, it doesn't and to be useful your kernel headers need to match the kernel you're running so building some other kernel package won't get you any closer to kernel headers you can use. [09:36] been matched to uname -r [10:24] hi === Curiontice is now known as Capprentice [10:26] i have gotten internet from my android device with usb cable on ubuntu 14.04 i want to share this internet with another pc that is connected to my pc just with a network cable how can i do it?(another pc is ubuntu 14.04 also ) [10:41] !internetsharing [10:43] !inetsharing [10:43] If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing [11:33] Currently in Ubuntu, doing a "service network restart", doesn't do the same thing as rebooting a box. I am trying to automate the network configuration of an Ubuntu 16.04 machine there seems to be no consistent reliable way to do this close to 'reboot'. Flushing the interfaces, forcing down and then back up again seems to be the closest thing but is still fraught with issues. [11:33] Is there a simple way to simply kick over the network, or perhaps network manager would offer a better solution? [11:33] CentOS works exactly as expected when simply restarting the network, so howcome Ubuntu doesn't? [11:38] Is there any way to determine why grub2 isn't using a UUID and is instead using a path? (e.g. using /dev/mapper/whatever). It's enabled in /etc/defaults/grub, and was working before some filesystem changes, so wanting some more verbose output etc [11:39] (or ideas) [11:39] ss23: and is that how it actually looks in your grub.cfg as well? [11:39] Uh, I am only talking about how it looks in my grub.cfg (I'm not sure what other place I would be looking) [11:40] fwiw grub-probe -t fs_uuid / seems to be succesful too [11:42] is it possible to add windows on external SSD disk (via USB) to my system? so it will available only when disk is plugged in? my current disks are like here: https://www.pastery.net/jjhujs/ [11:50] what's the difference between the ubuntu mini image and ubuntu server? [11:55] I did a rsync to recover on my desktop the contents of a usb key. But I don't have permissions to the directory. How do I get permission? [11:59] hey guys, one quick question: how can it be that when I stand in / and I do "du -sh */", it reports /var has 70 GB but when i do "du -hd 1", it reports a size of 91 GB [11:59] strangely, all other folders have the same size in both methods [11:59] *directories, sorry :D [12:03] du -d, --max-depth=Nprint the total for a directory (or file, with --all) only if it is N or fewer levels below the command line argument; --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize [12:04] so depth 1 should be logically smaller?? [12:07] I'm not really sure why it should be smaller... because basically, according to "--max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize" it should be exactly the same. With my first command I do --summarize, but for each folder in the current directory. With the second, I do du for the current directory I'm standing in, but only summarize on each found folder with depth of 1 [12:17] parts of /var probably has other filesystems, so the discrepancy comes from whether those other filesystems are included in the count or not [12:18] try du -haxd1 / and du -haxd1 /var [12:23] * Wick3d_M1cky needs help w/ spcific problem in bash...error msg trying to update a repository that doesnt exist from where i installed skype from a .deb file...

[12:28] hi I am having some trouble to fetch some repo through apt update. I am behind a corporate proxy and I am passing through CNTLM. My configuration is correct and some repo works well but for some reason iot can't fetch ubuntu/dists/xenial-updates/main/dep11/icons-64x64.tar (and in the respository it seems that the package is icons-64x64.tar.gz) anyone get that kind of trouble ? [12:29] appolgies, didnt intend to flood or anything, im just starting to use this non GUI old school IRC, one moment [12:29] anchnk:that sounds similar to an error im getting and about to ask about [12:30] Anyone familiar with Ubuntu networking ? [12:30] Wick3d_M1cky, hateball says please paste the error of that skype update please [12:30] - please [12:34] I would like to get some kind of surface laptop/tablet hybrid to substitue my Dell M3800 laptop for travelling. Things like Samsung Notebook 9 pro and Microsoft Surfacebook i7 have great reviews, but sounds like Ubuntu support is sketchy. I would only buy something I can reliably use Ubuntu on - any recommendations? [12:34] multifractal, xps13 or 15 are certified machines. [12:36] Wick3d_M1cky if you have DEP-11 erros like I had here's a workaround https://askubuntu.com/questions/823329/how-do-i-disable-fetching-of-dep-11-files [12:36] I don't use any graphical package manager so purging appstream solved it for me [12:38] oerheks: and that includes support for touchscreen, stylus and everything? [12:38] ok, here is a link to ss http://i.imgur.com/8z5wFrx.png my problem is at the bottom [12:39] i cant seem to pull up the manual for the specific command it mentions, but i have tried several apt commands to try and get rid of it [12:39] stylus? maybe there is one.. [12:40] hey guys I have xubuntu 16.04.2 installed with a radeon 5570 gpu. I am using the open source radeon driver as indicated by dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'. I get one thin horizontal line across screen when I play video or any games like hl1/hl2. Any ideas? [12:40] So skype changed their GPG key , is there a new key! Wick3d_M1cky [12:40] and what skype is this, Wick3d_M1cky ?? 4.7 is dead, 5 is supported IIRC [12:41] radeonfail: you get that on within the built-in screen or on am external monitor! [12:42] oerheks: well i'm not interested in fancy gestures and stuff. I mainly want a flippable 2-in-1 so that I can read journal articles on the train and possibly annotate them with stylus. So finger scrolling is just about enough for me. The touchscreen on my current Dell works well enough, so I guess it should be OK on xps13 2-in-1 also. [12:42] s/am/an* [12:42] its a beta version, and was first thing i installed that wasnt in repository, i may have installed wrong somehow adding a key or something. installed teamviewer from a .deb file last night no probs w/ it [12:42] multifractal, i would choose non-touchscreen, but that is personal. [12:43] sary, I get it on my monitor connected to my pc [12:43] quick uninstall for skype command and i could download new version after that hopefully solves my update issue??? [12:43] oerheks: I don't have much use for touchscreen either, but as I say I just want some rudimentary e-book capabilities for travelling, and I want it to be lighter than my current laptop. Thanks I'll probably go for the xps13 2in1. [12:43] radeonfail: care to share the monitor's model , also is it connected through HDMI! [12:44] Wick3d_M1cky, uninstall it, and grab the 5.4 deb ( repo & key package) from download.skype.com/ [12:44] hp l1950 connected through standard VGA [12:44] how would i do that? never uninstalled a non repository item? [12:45] !ppapurge [12:45] To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [12:45] not sure what name to use, you could check that in 3th party software-sources [12:45] thanks a ton, ill give that a whirl [12:46] synaptic comes in handy too [12:51] sary, here is a paste dump of my gfx card [12:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25233136/ [12:56] and information on monitor [12:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/25233156/ [12:58] I think its a vertical sync issue [13:00]
