chullhe was looking for something to download00:00
pavloschull: since you know command line, use the lines I gave earlier00:00
pavloschull: fyi, email clients allow you to attach many files in an email00:02
pavloschull: fyi, I use gmail, I can attach 10-20 images and send00:03
chullpavlos, and privacy laws say no email accepted00:03
pavloschull: ok00:03
chullpavlos, i need to compress them and upload them00:03
pavloschull: try the command line00:03
pavloschull: dfc contains images and other dirs00:04
chullpavlos, it contains six pdfs00:04
pavloschull: fine, in command line, zip my.zip dfc/*00:04
chullponders if we could send it without compressing00:04
pavlosit should create a file my.zip00:05
pavloschull: how will you send the zip file if email is not accepted?00:06
chullpavlos, will anything easy give me the path to that director?00:06
chulldirectory00:07
pavlosyou're in your home dir /home/chull00:07
chullyes atm. the file is in xyz > cbq > kfm > etc etc etc etc etc etc00:07
pavlosyou mean the files inside dfc/ ? they could be anything pdf, kfm, xyz00:08
chullpavlos, no. hubby likes to keep everything super organzized, so someone like me who uses command line has to navigate forever to find them00:08
chullto use zip i either have to tell it the path to the directory or BE in the directory to zip it00:09
pavloschull: that task is to zip the dfc and its contents, right? ... zip my.zip dfc/* will do so00:09
pavloschull: you're at home dir, the command could be rewritten as, zip /home/chull/my.zip /home/chull/dfc/*00:11
pavloschull: you dont need to reference you're at home dir00:11
pavloschull: zip is usually /usr/bin/zip00:12
chullzip /home/chull/my.zip /home/chull/dfc/  .. we are on the way00:12
pavloschull: the terminal should list (adding ... adding ... until completed. See the file my.zip created00:15
pavloschull: you can test with, unzip -t my.zip to verify what was zipped00:16
chullpavlos, we got it thanks so very much :)00:18

PaynemasterHello everyone02:57
PaynemasterI got a Linux issue hoping somebody can help me out here02:57
PaynemasterMy mouse cursor is stuck in the top left.02:58
PaynemasterAnyone?02:59
PaynemasterIs this the #ubuntu channel?03:00
hfpHi, I'm trying to clone my Ubuntu install to another disk. I'm using LVM+LUKS on a 180GB SSD and trying to move it over to a 120GB SSD. I resized the crypted partition and the LVM to 100GB so that it would all fit on the new smaller drive. But when I do it with clonezilla (even with -icds enabled), it never works. It says the destination disk is smaller (duh) and can't proceed. What's the secret?03:02
hfpOr should I reinstall Ubuntu on the new SSD and then rm -rf / on the partition, and copy over the files manually with cp from / on my larger SSD to / on my smaller one?03:05
PaynemasterHello. Anyone here?03:06
Paynemaster...03:07
Paynemasteri don't get this03:07
PaynemasterAnyone here that can help me out please?03:07
hfpPaynemaster: People don't sit in front of their computers 24/7, ask your question and when someone who knows the answer is around they'll answer you03:07
PaynemasterAh sorry. got no clue to see who's online at the time03:08
hfpIt's impossible to tell :)03:08
Paynemasterwas thinking i was in the wrong channel03:08
hfpNo, that's just how IRC works03:08
Paynemaster@hfp could u help me out perhaps?03:09
hfpidk, what's happening?03:09
Paynemaster@hfp I got a mouse cursor issue. It seems to get stuck in the top left corner. I can mouse arround its just invisible03:10
hfpDoes your mouse work on another computer/OS?03:11
Paynemaster@hfp yes. seems to be a know problem03:12
hfphow do you know it's a known issue?03:12
Paynemaster@hfp because askubuntu.com has a thread on it03:13
hfpI see, does it have a solution/fix?03:13
Paynemaster@hfp well its somewhat all over the place. the thread is from last year. So a newer version might fixed it. but iam not sure03:15
Paynemaster@hfp i am using a usb media tool with a app on it that runs under linux. so i can't really change that03:15
hfpyou cant upgrade the package?03:16
Paynemaster@hfp how?03:16
hfpis it running ubuntu?03:16
Paynemaster@hfp theres a syslinux.cfg file in it03:16
hfpwhat does lsb_release -a get you?03:17
Paynemastercan't tell since i am not in it right now03:17
hfpthat makes things rather complicated03:17
Paynemaster@hfp can't i see a version in the files on the usb media tool?03:18
hfpwhat is a usb media tool?03:18
Paynemasterlike bootable03:18
hfpa live cd?03:18
hfplive usb rather?03:19
Paynemasteryeah03:19
Paynemasterboot media03:19
hfpif it's causing you problem, why don't you use another/a more recent version of your distro on the liveusb?03:20
Fretegieening03:21
hfpgo get ubuntu 17.04 and put that on your liveusb, it will have more recent packages that will prob fix your issue03:21
Paynemaster@hfp i got no clue how to do that. its a tool from toshiba that created the bootable media tool.03:21

Fretegiok trying to get a cannon scanner to work, thats the output from simple-scan -d  any thoughts?03:22
Fretegiprints fine, just cant scan.. thinking perhaps a libsane issue?03:22
hfpPaynemaster: download ubuntu 17.04, and use a tool like etcher.io to make a bootable usb out of it03:23
Paynemaster@hfp could u first tell me how to reply like u did i assume that is a private message?03:23
hfphow did I answer you you mean?03:24
Paynemasteryeah03:24
hfpwe're chatting on the public #ubuntu channel03:24
hfpall other 1061 users on this channel can read what we're discussing03:24

hfpbut dont start mentioning or /msg people at random, you wont make friends this way03:26
Paynemasteryeah i understand03:27
hfpI have to go, good luck Paynemaster. Try making a new liveusb from the latest ubuntu and see how that goes for you03:27
Paynemasterwhat about the tool from toshiba03:27
Paynemasteri got no clue if that still works then03:27
hfpi dont know what that tool is or what it does03:27
Paynemasterwell doesnt matter03:28
Paynemasterits intergrated with the linux boot03:28
hfpif you stick around or come back at another time, maybe there will be someone here that can help you03:28
Paynemasteryeah i will try that03:28
Paynemasterthanks for the big help03:28
hfpnp, good luck03:28
Fretegiso is there a way to downgrade libsane03:29
Spencer-_Howdy folks. Im having a weird issue with my network adapters. I am of intermediate *nix knowledge. Using Server 16.04. cli only. The box im using has two network adapters - one wired, one wireless. Either one of them works, if the other isnt configured (in /etc/network/interfaces). But if both are configured, something borks somewhere during networking service restart, or system reboot, and only the wired interface comes up. In t03:29
Paynemasterhfp cheers ;)03:29
Spencer-_the wpa_supplicant and the wireless interface can come up03:29
Fretegior upgrade lol03:29
Spencer-_but i have no idea why they wont use both load at the same time.03:29
Spencer-_if anyone can help me figure this out, i'd be greatly appreciative.03:30
Telex9Spencer-_,  I might be missing something, are you trying to route traffic to both at the same time?03:31
Telex9just trying to figure out why both need to be active at the same time03:31
Spencer-_Telex9 - So. Thats the idea. For each adapter to be on seperate networks.03:32
Spencer-_please dont yell at me if thats stupid and not possible.03:32
Spencer-_Im working on a home lab network environment and Im using this box as a network services server (dhcp, ntp, tftp, etc). I'd like to use the wired adapter as access to that environment. And I want to use the wireless adapter on my home network so I can SSH in from my laptop and not have to use a console cable.03:34
Telex9oh no worries. : ) We all had to start somewhere. guess how I know the answer to your question ; ) basically, its possible but not really recommended.03:34
Spencer-_im basically looking for what seems to bea really complicated solution to laziness03:34
Telex9ah ok, that I can get behind.03:35
Telex9: )03:35
Spencer-_im not so concerned abotu recommended, since its just a home lab and i dont care if anything blows up03:35
Telex9idk what your running, but basically you'll want to setup a static route for specific interfaces03:36
Telex9aka run 172.16.x.x over eth0 and 192.168.x.x over eth103:36
Spencer-_this has been an issue for a few days and at this point, ive completely worked around it and really just want to know for my own sanity why both adapters wont go up03:36
Fretegihttps://pastebin.com/TFkSZtvT03:36
Fretegiany thoughts on how to address printer03:36
Fretegiscanner?03:36
Telex9have you set the /etc/network/interfaces file to static ip addresses?03:37
Spencer-_Telex - thats the idea.03:38
Spencer-_Yeah, so heres what happens03:38
Spencer-_i have/etc/net/int configured with static addressing for both interfaces03:38
Spencer-_but03:38
Telex9what version are you running btw?03:38
Spencer-_16.0403:38
Spencer-_now lets say I have nboth interfaces configed and neither commented out. If i reboot, only the wired int comes up. If i reload the network service, it errors out.03:39
Spencer-_my logfoo isnt great, but lookign at jouirnelctl, it appears that the wireless adapter errors with an exit code 1 and doesnt come up03:40
Spencer-_but03:40
Spencer-_if I comment out the wired int and reload, eveyrthing is peachy. same if I comment out the wireless.03:40
Spencer-_so one at a time, they load up fine03:40
Spencer-_its only when the config has both uncommented that stuff goes sideways03:40
Telex9ok, can you do a pastebin of that config? (changing the ips respectively.... )03:44
Spencer-_yeah. which configs do you want?03:44
Spencer-_http://pastebin/com/Su6vGLhN03:45
Spencer-_thats my /etc/net/int03:45
Spencer-_except im using a wpa_conf  wpa_supplicant location instead of hardcoded  SSID and PSK03:46
Spencer-_oh, and that pastebin shows them both on the same network, but they woudl be on seperate networks in the config i want03:48
Fretegihttps://pastebin.com/TFkSZtvT03:50
Fretegioutput of simple-scan -d.  printer prints fine03:50
Telex9: ) if you can't reach your default gateway on a local network, how do you send packets through it? check en0103:50
Telex9or your wlp2s0, *shrug*03:50
k3y5.03:52
Spencer-_ok, and pardon me if Im being facetious here, but my issue isnt with connectivity or routing. Its that both adapters wont load at the same time.03:53
Spencer-_i.e - ifconfig03:53
Spencer-_so like, with each adapter uncommented in the config file, and a fresh boot fo the system, ifconfig shows that only the wired adapter loads.03:54
Spencer-_i can then manually intiate the wpa_supplicant service and it will bring up the wireless adapter, but that wont persist through a service networking reload.03:55
Spencer-_however03:55
Spencer-_if I comment out either adapter and reboot, the other adapter loads just fine and connectivity works fine03:55
Spencer-_which leads me to believe the the config in the /etc/net/int file is fine, cause either one works if the other is commented out. Its something to do with trying to load them both.03:56
Telex9Totally understand, I might just overly simplifying here, but if your box isn't sure which routes to send packets, it'll favor the wired, but then it wiggs out once on the forced reload. Since the failover of 'prefer the wired, if I see a dupe route' is being over ridden03:57
Telex9your going to need some static routes in either case, since after force enabling the wireless the box isn't sure which is the best route. idk if that makes sense, perhaps someone with greater eloquence can chime in here then. : )03:59
Spencer-_oh, those are words i understand but dont know how to execute04:01
Spencer-_im not used to OSes having routing tables, but i did recently learn of the command route which lists a routing table04:02
Spencer-_(Im a windows guy by trade, and know my way around *nix but am not totally comfortable with the OS, obviously)04:03
Spencer-_but i get routing tables, as this whole exercise is to easily access the cisco lab environment im working with04:03
Telex9tl;dr Spencer-_  your going to need to put your cisco lab enviroment on a different subnet. Thats going to solve your problem. : )04:04
Spencer-_this is actually somthing that confused me as I just recently learned about the route command in *nix, after being very confused as to why the ifconfig didnt who each adapters default gateway04:04
Spencer-_No04:05
Spencer-_i can post a /etc/net/int config with them in different networks if youd prefer04:05
Spencer-_but the issue persists regardless of what network the interfaces are configured with04:05
Spencer-_that particular pastebin just happens to show them in the same network04:06
Spencer-_i would be more than happy to config them on different networks and provide logs04:06
Telex9ok, but... thats different. the bin provided makes it look like its crashing because you have 2 nics, going to the same place, the default logic prefers ethernet, then its being overridden with a forced reload... so without a proper load balancing proc in place, the box dies.04:07
Spencer-_i get why you thought that04:07
Spencer-_and i would be more than happy to reconfig and pastebin showing them on different networks04:08
Spencer-_but that config file doesnt show anything relating to the actual issue04:08
Spencer-_i could config and doa  network service reload and paste the journalctl if that woudl help04:09
Telex9that'd be helpful, i'm not sure as to why your getting a crash is the interfaces are properly config with 2 sep networks and you've setup proper static routes04:10
Spencer-_in fact, ill jsut go ahead and do that, cause I understand that I probably dont quite have the covabluary to convey the complexity here04:10
Spencer-_gimme just a couple minutes while i make files and move them to boxes where I can post them online04:10
Spencer-_is there anything else you'd like besides the /etc/net/int and journalctl output?04:11
Fretegiok how about this, where else could i go to fine libsane_1.0.26?  found a guide addressing this issue but the files no longer appear to be on the debian page04:11
Telex9aka sudo route add -net 192.168.37.0/24 gw 192.168.37.1 netmask 255.255.255.004:11
Telex9Spencer-_, no rush, i'm just watching some vm's spin up and patch at the moment04:12
Spencer-_ok, so i havent ever hard config'd anything into route04:12
Spencer-_are you suggesting that I hard code both gateways into that as well?04:12
Spencer-_im more than happy to, i just havent come across anything online that says to do that04:13
Telex9for the sake of simplicity, lets go with that. : )04:13
Telex9Welcome to Linux! : )04:13
Spencer-_and like ai siad earlier, i just found out route was a thing recently04:13
Spencer-_ok cool04:13
Spencer-_see, im fairly certain its something dumb that gui linux does automagically that im missing in cli cause im a dummy. So ill try that.04:13
Telex9not a dummy, : ) lol just learning. we've all been here. its why i know about your issue ; ) i had the same problem in version 12.0404:15
Spencer-_the only place ive ever configed the gateway, ever, is in the /etc/net/int file04:15
Telex9which makes sense, but that previous config your placing 2 interfaces with 2 identical gateways. if you where a packet... : ) how would you decide where to go?04:17
Spencer-_ok, so problem.04:19
Fretegihttps://askubuntu.com/questions/788151/ubuntu-16-04-simple-scan-i-o-error/836112#83611204:19
Spencer-_when i add the gateway and network the box is currently connected to, no problem04:19
Fretegiok if someone could just help me sort out this guide pls that would be great04:19
Spencer-_but when I try to add the second network (remember, i cant actually get both adapters up at the same time), it tells me network unreachable04:20
Telex9does the second network have a diff gateway / subnet ?04:20
Telex9and are you getting an ip from dhcp on the 2nd network?04:21
Spencer-_ok, i was able to get both net gws up after a reboot and a manual instantiation of the wpa_supplicant.04:25
Spencer-_lets reboot and see if that works04:25
Telex9fingers crossed!04:25
Spencer-_ok, so heres what happened04:28
Spencer-_rebooted. only wired came up. manually launched wpa_supplicant which brought up wireless. I was able to then issue commands to route for both networks (192.168.37.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24)04:29
Spencer-_rebooted04:29
Spencer-_only wired is up (192.168.1.0 network) and only the 1.0 network appears int he routing table04:29
Telex9and when you try to reach .37 it fails ?04:30
Telex9just trying to double check here04:30
Spencer-_well yeha, because the adapter isnt up04:31
Spencer-_which is the whole issue04:31
Spencer-_two adpaters configured, only one comes up.04:31
Spencer-_if either adapter is commeneted out of /etc/net/int config, then the other comes up without issue on reboot04:32
Spencer-_but if both are uncommented, the wireless doesnt come up04:32
Spencer-_i totally get why the wireless network (37.0) isnt showing up int he routing table right now, because the adapter isnt up so the network doesnt exist to the system04:33
Telex9and..... i'm outta ideas then, its gotta be some default preference of wired > wireless. you might've already seen this but this might set you on the right track https://kindlund.wordpress.com/2007/11/19/configuring-multiple-default-routes-in-linux/04:37
Telex9since we're not bonding the connections, its gotta be some interface taking preference. : (  sorry I couldn't be of any more help04:38
Fretegican i simply add the repository from ubuntu 14.04 to my 16.04.3 install and install packages from 14.04 in a downgrade fashion04:41
Fretegi?04:41
Jordan_UFretegi: No. Downgrading is explicitly not supported and will leave you with a completely broken system. If you want to downgrade then you need to re-install (which you can do while still preserving /home/).04:43
FretegiJordan_U, ok so that link i posted mentions upgrading to later versions of a few sane related pacakges to resolve this issue.  but i cannot find them on the debian site.  any thoughts on how to get them04:44
Fretegior how to address this scanner issue?04:44
Jordan_UFretegi: Ahh, I see you're just trying to downgrade a single package. That's still not supported, and still probably won't work, but less doom-and gloomy :)04:44
Jordan_UFretegi: To be clear, your scanner works in Ubuntu 14.04 but not on Ubuntu 16.04?04:45
Fretegiyup04:45

Fretegimint 17.304:45

Spencer-_Thank you telex, ill check that out. And also thanks for the help in general. appreciate it04:45
Jordan_UFretegi: Can you test from an Ubuntu 17.04 LiveUSB?04:46
Fretegiyup, was dead on that as well04:46
Fretegibut i will happily try again on a different machine04:47
jnewtcan anyone tell me how to fix this so i can get mariadb installed: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25281453/04:47
Fretegicannon printer, using the gutenprint driver on both the mint 17.3 (also trusty) and on this xenial machine.  scanner works on mint but not here04:47
jnewtusing 16.04 LTS, i found some people that simply said reboot, which i did, and some dpkg commands: https://serverfault.com/a/736547 none of which solved the problem04:49
FretegiJordan_U, i am building the live usb now but fwiw i found this guide which describes my problem perfectly and a solution, but i cant find the darn packages it mentions on the debian site04:51

noccoI'm using ubuntu with gnome, the alpha version of 17.10. My question is, do keyboard-commands and layout come from ubuntu/OS or gnome/desktop-environemtn?06:39
Rhombixhi. i'm trying to duplicate my boot drive to a usb hdd. i tried using GParted (in a live boot session), but when i booted into the hdd, i just got a blank screen.06:42
Jordan_URhombix: First, be careful doing this at all. You may not realize that having two filesystems with the same UUID can be dangerous.06:44
Rhombixok06:44
Rhombixin GParted i used "copy partition" (from sda1 to sdd1)06:45
Rhombixwhen the copy didn't boot up, i tried using the dd command to copy the first 1mb of sda to sdd (that's sda, not sda1)06:46
Jordan_URhombix: That most likely lead to sda1 and sdd1 having the same UUID (which you can check with "sudo blkid"). This means that if both are plugged in when you boot, which one gets mounted as your root filesystem could be up to random chance. If this is a btrfs filesystem, then it could lead to corruption of the fileystem.06:46
Jordan_URhombix: Is this a BIOS based or UEFI based machine?06:47
RhombixUEFI (i think)06:47
BUSYhello!  i have 2 machines on the network now, and when i use arp -a from either one, they each are given a hostname of [computer name].network.tds.net, and when i use that address to try to ssh, it resolves and works.  where is this host being assigned?06:48
Jordan_URhombix: Then you also need to copy the EFI System Partition *and* prepare the drive to be bootable as a removable drive, which an Ubuntu installation will not be by default (because it requires a boot entry in your firmware).06:48
Rhombixok. where on a device is this located? i assume it's seperated from the partitions, and will not be carried over when copying partitons alone?06:51
Rhombixalso, could you explain more about how a removable drive is different when booted?06:52
Jordan_URhombix: Technically the difference isn't really with the drive being external so much as the drive being booted on machines different than the one the OS was installed on.06:53
DragonbirdHey guys! can anyone help me with an iptables rule? I am trying to resolve matching hostnames from localhost. dig works just fine but other applications can't resolve the names06:54
Jordan_URhombix: When Ubuntu installs grub it puts some files in your EFI System Partition, one of which is at the path /ubuntu/shimx64.efi (Since your ESP is mounted to /boot/efi/ you can see this file a the path /boot/efi/ubuntu/shimx64.efi) . This is the file that your boot firmware needs to load to start Ubuntu.06:57
Rhombixok. where is the ESP? is it stored on the booting device, or inside my computer?06:59
Jordan_URhombix: If Ubuntu / grub-install did nothing else, then your computer would not be setup to boot from Ubuntu. If you asked your boot firmware to boot from that drive it would look in the default location /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI in the ESP and would load that (if such a file had been put there by another OS, like Windows) or declare that it can't boot the drive. To make the UEFI boot firmware boot Ubuntu07:01
Jordan_Ugrub-install/efibootmgr tell the firmware "Hey, there is a file at the path /EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi on this particular ESP that will load an OS. Make an entry for it called "Ubuntu" and boot it by default (before any other OSs)".07:01
Jordan_URhombix: Your ESP is a fat32/fat16 partition on your hard drive. The boot entry that *points to* the file on the ESP is stored in flash on your motherboard.07:02
Jordan_URhombix: So, if you want a drive to be bootable by a machine that doesn't already have an entry pointing to Ubuntu's shimx64.efi you need to copy shimx64.efi to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI .07:04
Jordan_URhombix: If you don't have an ESP anywhere then you're not booting via UEFI.07:05

irgendwer4711hi, I have a problem with Xen 4.6. VPCU hotpluggin is not working anymore.07:20
Jordan_URhombix: UEFI means that it's UEFI. "DualBIOS" is a Gigabyte marketing term for the fact that there is a backup of your boot firmware stored on your motherboard. Like almost all UEFI firmware, your UEFI machine can boot via UEFI or BIOS depending on how it's configured. It's confusing because "BIOS" is a word that can either mean "Boot Firware", "Boot Firmware that implements the BIOS interface", or "The07:23
Jordan_UBIOS interface" depending on the context. I try not to refer to boot firmware as "The BIOS" when using a UEFI machine, but most other people (and motherboard manufacturers) do.07:23

ws2k3sary i know i can do it with the cpu-freq-set command. but i want to do it at boot not manualy08:05
saryws2k3: then you need cpufrequtils , and adjust in /etc/sysfs.conf ..08:06
ws2k3sary /etc/sysfs.conf does not seems to exsist i should create it?08:07

john__Not run ubuntu for a while but need it, 16.04, for a project. So tried 4 times to install it on a laptop.09:05
john__a few hours later I have to give up and go09:05
john__But how do you do it? The machine has an ext4 '/' partition, and ext4 '/opt' partition and an encrypted '/home' partition09:06
john__I don't think that's too strange. But Ubuntu refuses to install. I've got it to the point that it's now not happy with swap. Does not try and create the swap in whatever way it wants the swap09:07
john__Doesn't tell me how to do it. And even if it did I now can't boot the machine so how exactly? Looked in the LIVE part of the install and gparted nor disks offers any sort of encrypted swap area.09:08
john__Like I say I have to go now but I'll check back later, to see if there's some option for this. I guess the way to run it is in a VM but this machine is a bit thin for that.09:09

yeeveUsing 'xev' I'm able to see the 6 key on each keyboard has the same keycode but a different serial so it feels like I should be able to tell ubuntu to ignore all inputs from a specific serial ID10:24

yeeveducasse, once I have the device Id and the keycodes, what's the best way to run a script/action on a keypress and not have it output the default value (If I press 6 on the num-pad it should run a script but not input 6 on the screen)10:44
ducasseyeeve: depends, but normally when you bind a key in your wm/de it captures the output without printing it10:47
yeeveI see, I don't think I can use the wm/de keybinding stuff because it can't tell the difference between the "5" key on the small num-pad keyboard and "5" on my main keyboard's num-pad (I think at least but I guess I should confirm that)10:48

KmanHow to install QT 5.0 (>=5.7) in Ubuntu 14.04?12:48
paynemasterNo. i can, but i need to leave this channel12:48
paynemaster@ducasse why would i need to upgrade it everytime?12:48
glitsj16foozb12: my guess would be your prompt definition lacks the space.. check ~/.bashrc12:49
ducassepaynemaster: if you always want the latest version you would need to upgrade12:49
ducasseKman: you would need to use a ppa (unsupported)12:50
paynemaster@ducasse No i don't want the latest version. i tried ubuntu 17.04 and it works. So if i can make that usb media tool with that version on it. I am all set12:50
Kmanducasse: 14.04 is trusty?12:51
ducassepaynemaster: just boot the installer and install to the usb stick12:52
ducasseKman: yes12:52
ducassepaynemaster: you can also use the installer as a live image, or with persistence12:53
ducasse!persistence | paynemaster12:53
ubottupaynemaster: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence12:53
Kmanducasse: thanks12:53
paynemaster@ducasse not sure if that tool wil work then?12:53
ducassepaynemaster: what tool is this? on a stick with persistence it should.12:55
paynemaster@ducasse It is called SSD Utility. Made by toshiba. Inside the tool there is a option to make it bootable12:56
ducassepaynemaster: this is something you would need to ask toshiba about12:56
paynemaster@ducasse i tried to just install it at ubuntu 17.04 but i get a ''need superuser'' I am not so experienced at ubuntu. Thats why i want to use the bootable tool.12:58
Kmanducasse: i got qt 5.8 ppa, so how to update old qt 4.8 to this one?12:59
ducasse!sudo | paynemaster read this13:00
ubottupaynemaster read this: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !pkexec (for older releases: !gksu and !kdesudo). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo13:00
Kmanducasse:  apt-get install qt58-meta-full?13:00
KmanI need the old QT 4.8 system replaced by 5.813:00
ducasseKman: sounds like a bad idea to me, nor is it something we support here. look at the instructions for the ppa.13:02
paynemaster@ducasse yeah i tried it but still get it. tried to login with the new user with read and wright privileges. Stil not working.13:02
ducassepaynemaster: if you run the tool with sudo it is run as superuser, i can't tell you anything about a toshiba tool though13:05
yeeveducasse, I got the xkb stuff working but I can't find a way to find/list all unused keys. I have a standard 104 key keyboard but xinput list seems to indicate that the keyboards support ~250 keys. I've seen example showing people remapping into the media keys but I already have WM/DE level shortcuts to map Ctrl+something to certain media functions :P13:05
paynemaster@ducasse no worrys about the toshiba tool. Thats my part. just looking for the easiest way to use it13:05
yeevedo you have any advice on where/how to find un-used keys on a keyboard? :S13:05
paynemaster@ducasse i am just talking with a agent from toshiba. He tells me that the core cannot be updated. so i cannot use the bootable media version i guess13:06
ducasseyeeve: hmm... iirc xbindkeys can print a list, look at the man page. also xmodmap.13:09
yeevecheers dude :P will do13:09
paynemaster@ducasse what i am trying to do, is putt it on Yumi, so i can use it often. Is it possible to make some sort of ubuntu version, with the tools installed i need on yumi, so it can boot with everying on hand13:09
ducassepaynemaster: if this toshiba tool is part of an ubuntu image they modified, it is no longer supported here. we know nothing about what they did. if it is just a binary you should be able to run it from any install (that has the necessary libraries, if shared)13:12
paynemaster@ducasse yeah i understand. i can still download a linux version of the tool from their site. I am just trying to make it stick on the ubuntu os and try to putt it on Yumi. Because i not have acces to the internet all the time13:16
Kartagishow can I use a dynamic IP as Hostname in .ssh/config?13:16
Kmanducasse: i have qt 5.8 installed, but qmake is still using qt 5.2. how do i update qmake?13:16
paynemaster@ducasse is that possible?13:17

marvin42how can I upgrade from 16.10 to 17.04?13:18
ducassepaynemaster: i'm a little confused as to exactly what this toshiba tool is - is it just a program, or part of a full ubuntu install to make it bootable?13:18
justsomeone12321Hi! I have following problem, I want to install openmesh. After adding the repository "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nakednous/ppa" and updating, it says "The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/nakednous/ppa/ubuntu xenial Release' does not have a Release file." and now it is unable to locate the package. What do I have to do? Thank you for your time!13:19
hateballmarvin42: using GUI or a terminal?13:19
ducasse!upgrade | marvin4213:19
ubottumarvin42: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade13:19
paynemaster@ducasse its just a program. i can give u the link to their page if u want13:19
marvin42hateball, I'm comfortable with both13:19
hateballmarvin42: ducasse provided some good information, otherwise just issue "sudo do-release-upgrade" in a terminal13:20
marvin42ducasse, 16.10 is no longer supported so it won't upgrade using the normal method13:20
hateball!eolupgrade | marvin4213:20
ubottumarvin42: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades13:20
marvin42thanks hateball13:20
ducassepaynemaster: not necessary. if it runs on a certain ubuntu version you should be set using the persistance link i pointed you to above, not familiar with yumi13:21
ducassehateball: has it been moved yet? that normally happens quite a while after it goes eol...13:22
paynemaster@ducasse this one right? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo13:22
ducassepaynemaster: that's for running it as superuser. if you want to run it from a usb use the persistence instructions.13:23
ducasse!persistence | paynemaster13:24
ubottupaynemaster: To have some persistent storage when using a Live CD, follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence13:24
hfpHi, I have resized my LVM+LUKS partition to clone it to a smaller SSD. It worked great, but now my inner partition is much smaller than the outer partition and I can't seem to expand it to the full size... This is what it looks like in KDE partition manager (using a KaOS LiveCD because the KDE partition manager that ships with Ubuntu is very outdated and doesn't do LUKS volumes). cf https://imgur.com/a/14p9K13:25
hfpie sda3 is 118GB but the volume group can only be 92GB at most13:26
paynemaster@ducasse but thats read only? Yumi is just a tool where u can set up a collection of bootable files (iso's)13:26
hateballducasse: I didnt think it would have, but marvin42 says so13:26
glitsj16justsomeone12321: looks like the PPA doesn't support 16.04 xenial, hence you don't see any openmesh package13:26
ducassepaynemaster: persistence is to give you writable storage13:26
marvin42ducasse, yeah, I'm unable to upgrade using the standard method13:27
marvin42hateball, will it also upgrade debi installed packages? such as virtualbox?13:28
hfp(hey paynemaster)13:28
ducassemarvin42: hateball: hmm, odd. well, good to know :)13:28
paynemaster@ducasse ah oke i get it. sounds good. Do i still need to worry about superuser preveliges this way?13:28
sammyghow to tell if i have a web server installed from ssh console?13:29
ducassepaynemaster: yes, read the sudo page13:29
paynemaster@ducasse there is no way it boots up with superuser allready? So i can start right awat?13:32
KmanIs it possible to upgrade qt 5.2 /4.8  to QT 5.8  for ubunt 14.04?13:33
justsomeone12321glitsj16: thank you!13:34
ducassepaynemaster: for a live image with persistence, it's probably a lot easier to just type 'sudo' in front of the command to start the tool13:36
glitsj16justsomeone12321: no problem, might just purge that ppa if you don't use it for anything else, avoid clutter13:36
hateballmarvin42: if you've sideloaded packages from outside the ubuntu repos, then no those wont be upgraded (how could they?)13:37
justsomeone12321glitsj16: purged it :-)13:37
paynemaster@ducasse Still trying to figure out which sudo command i need for running it13:39
ducassepaynemaster: what do you type to start the tool?13:40
paynemaster@ducasse not sure since it might be different with this file13:42
ducassepaynemaster: whatever it is, just put 'sudo ' in front of it13:43
yeeveducasse, It seems I'm able to change xkb_symbols easy enough but I feel I need to remap the numpad to different keycodes not keysymbols so I can just say if keycode:230 pressed do X becuase I'll know 230 doesn't exist on my main keyboard at all where as the Symbols seem difficult to work out if they're actually used :S Am I misunderstanding?13:43
marvin42hateball, yeah, I was thinking that perhaps gdebi would take care of it. thanks!13:44
ducasseyeeve: sounds sane, and afaicr xbindkeys can be mapped to keycodes.13:44
paynemaster_@ducasse give me a second booting into ubuntu right now13:45
yeeveThe trouble seems to be that xkb_symbols worked OK for me but xkb_keycodes doesn't seem to. I think the syntax is different so I'm probably missing something :P I'll keep reading :D13:45
paynemaster_@ducasse it is a .tar.gz file13:46
ducassepaynemaster_: that's an archive, you need to extract it.13:46
paynemaster_@ducasse yeah i did. Made a folder on desktop where i extracted it to13:47
paynemaster_@ducasse i guess its ''x_exe...''13:49
ducassepaynemaster_: possibly, try 'sudo ./x_exe...' from that directory13:50
paynemaster_@ducasse so that will be ''sudo .x-exe... /home/ubuntu/desktop/SSDUtility''?13:53
ducassepaynemaster_: is /home/ubuntu/desktop/SSDUtility the folder or the program?13:54
paynemaster_@ducasse SSDUtility is the program13:56
paynemaster_@ducasse that is the folder to the program13:57
ducassepaynemaster_: then 'sudo /home/ubuntu/desktop/SSDUtility'13:57
ducassepaynemaster_: i've gtg. read the sudo link, it is clearly explained there.13:58
paynemaster_@ducasse says:Command not found13:58
ducassepaynemaster_: no, then it is the folder. give it the full path and name of the command.13:59
paynemaster_@ducasse that is the full name? :(14:00
paynemaster_@ducasse i oke think i follow you. that includes the previous line right?14:00
ducassetry 'chmod +x /home/ubuntu/desktop/SSDUtility' then try again14:00
jnewtsimple scan won't scan back or front & back. used to work with old scanner, got a new one (same brand, just current model Fujitsu Scansnap iX500) and it is like i the selection doesn't do anything.  No matter which i choose, it always only scans the front of a page14:02
paynemaster_@ducasse it is case sensetive right?14:03
ducassepaynemaster_: yes14:03
ducassepaynemaster_: read the link i gave you, i've really got to go now.14:03
paynemaster_@ducasse ah oke well thanks for the big help! i will try to get into it14:04
eelstrebori guess i was wrong - they still haven't fixed the amdgpu driver problem in 16.04.314:04
eelstreborhttp://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-Compatibility-Advisory-with-Ubuntu-16.04.2-and-16.04.3.aspx14:05
jnewtLog from scanner: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25283722/14:05

paynemaster_Anyone here can help me out? trying to get superuser privileges14:09
himcesjf!sudo | paynemaster_14:10
ubottupaynemaster_: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information.

paynemaster_thanks but i allready got that page. can't seem to find anything about running or installing14:11
gabrielcpaynemaster_: try 'sudo bash'14:13
paynemaster_sudo (program name) should be it right?14:13
gabrielcpaynemaster_: run 'whereis sudo'14:14
paynemaster_@gabrielc yeah i got a path now?14:15
gabrielcpaynemaster_: run '/path/to/whereis bash' ie '/usr/bin/sudo bash' or '/usr/bin/sudo /bin/bash'14:16
gabrielcpaynemaster_: sorry. '/path/to/sudo bash'14:16
paynemaster_@gabrielc i just need superuser privileges to run a tool14:16
geirhasudo -i14:17
gabrielcpaynemaster_: if sudo bash is successful your prompt will change from $ to #14:18
paynemaster_@gabrielc i got no clue what that has to do with my problem? :S14:19
gabrielcpaynemaster_: what is your problem?14:19
yeeveducasse, I can get the xkb_symbols to work but if I try to remap the keycodes it doesn't seem to do anything and doesn't show any errors. I feel like I've got the syntax correct but It's just not working - code: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25283820/ does anything stand out as being _wrong_?14:20
paynemaster_@gabrielc trying to get superuser previleges to run a tool which is on my desktop14:21
gabrielcpaynemaster_: what graphical environment are you using?14:22
paynemaster_@gabrielc how to tell?14:23
geirhayou can drag its icon from the desktop to the terminal window to have the exact path to it written in the terminal14:23
paynemaster_@gabrielc its is Ubuntu 17.0414:23
paynemaster_@geirha yeah i tried that but i still get no previleges14:24
gabrielcpaynemaster_: on ubuntu 16 you can use gksudo14:24
paynemaster_how hard can it be to just run a tool in ubuntu -_-14:25
geirhapaynemaster_: what type of file is it? Use the file command on it: file /path/to/tool14:25
gabrielcpaynemaster_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/284306/why-is-gksu-no-longer-installed-by-default14:25
paynemaster_@geurha no sure what i need to putt in14:28
paynemaster_@geirha not sure what u want me to putt in to see what file it is14:28
paynemaster_@geurha can't i just look at it in properties?14:28
gabrielcpaynemaster_: open a terminal and run 'sudo apt-get install gksu'. when done run gksu (from the same terminal) and a graphical windows will appear14:32
paynemaster_@gabrielc yeah i did some say done. done last says unable to locate package gksu. Is that normal?14:33
gabrielcpaynemaster_: you can install the packages14:34
naccpaynemaster_: do you have the universe component enabled? did you run `sudo apt update` first?14:34
paynemaster_@nacc no. i am a beginner on ubuntu14:35
paynemaster_@gabriel so i used sudo apt-get install gksu. Now i need to open gksu?14:35
gabrielcpaynemaster_: yes, gksu or gksudo, try first with gksudo14:36
naccpaynemaster_: did `sudo apt-get install gksu` succeed? you just said it said "unable to locate package gksu"14:36
yeeveducasse, I have a working example using keysymbols and xbindkeys :) thanks for all your help. still have a lot to read/learn but this is awesome so far!14:36
yeevedo we have karma in this channel?14:36
paynemaster_@nacc i don't know if it succeeded14:36
gabrielcpaynemaster_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository14:37
naccpaynemaster_: did it install anything? or did it fail with the message you said?14:37
ducasseyeeve: cool, congrats :)14:37
paynemaster_@nacc i guess it failed with that message. Because i see nothing installed14:38
naccpaynemaster_: right, so first enable universe, then run `sudo apt update`, then run `sudo apt install gksu`14:38

OptiprismHi, I'm trying to get a fresh reinstall of everything on my ubuntu, I've read that "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a" will do the trick, is this correct?14:40
jnewtjust went to see if i should file a bug report for my scanner not working.  there's 132,208 open bugs on launchpad.net/ubuntu  ... i'm guessing one scanner not scanning the back page isn't getting any attention :(14:42
pizzaBurgerHey guys! I have a micro SD card and its not mounting. Checked 'sudo parted -l' and it does not show up. Any other way to test if the card is dead or not? Thanks!14:42
naccjnewt: imo, you should always file a bug14:43
naccPyrrhic: see the link from gabrielc a moment ago14:43
naccpaynemaster_: --^14:43
naccPyrrhic: sorry, mis-tab14:43
naccOptiprism: why not just reinstall?14:43
ducassejnewt: look at sane-project.org if duplex is supported by your scanner driver14:44
ducassepizzaBurger: lsblk14:44
Optiprismnacc: thought there was a better option, since I don't want to mess with boot orders and stuff14:44
paynemaster_@nacc sorry but i can't seem to find the right command on that page. -_-14:44
bane5000Anybody know of a working chromium apparmor profile for 16.04?14:44
jnewtducasse: shows status Good, says "small, current, WiFi not supported. Hardware only scans in color. Backend generates binary and grayscale modes."14:45
pizzaBurgerducasse: so if it doesn't show up, and I know that every other part of the chain is working, that means the card is dead beyond repair?14:46
ducassejnewt: i *think* it's usually mentioned if duplex is supported14:47
ducassepizzaBurger: it would seem so14:47
naccOptiprism: well, the command you gave just reconfigures packages, it doesn't 'reinstall' them14:47
pizzaBurgerducasse: alright, thanks a ton once again!14:47
paynemaster_@nacc all i am asking is just to get superuser privileges14:48
naccpaynemaster_: use sudo?14:48
paynemaster_@nacc its not working...14:48
paynemaster_@nacc i need to run a tool from toshiba. but i need superuser privileges14:49
jnewtducasse: it says good means the device is usable for day-to-day work and exotic features may be missing.  mine blinks a the front light constantly, no wifi (that's ok), and will only scan one-side.  would you say that qualifies as "good"?  i'd say that would be minimal or basic at best.14:49
naccpaynemaster_: how did you try to run it with sudo?14:49
paynemaster_@nacc all sorts of ways. ''sudo /home/ubuntu/Desktop/SSDUtility14:50
ducassejnewt: you'd need to take that up with the sane devs, not me14:50
naccpaynemaster_: as you've been told, if it's graphical, you probably need gksudo and need to install it. You've also been told how to add universe.14:51
nacc!components| paynemaster_: if you need it again14:51
ubottupaynemaster_: if you need it again: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories.14:51
paynemaster_@nacc they havent told be how i would know if its graphical14:52
ducassejnewt: try #sane14:52
naccpaynemaster_: so you're trying to run a tool you don't know what it does or how to run it?14:53
naccpaynemaster_: also, what happens if you run it with sudo?14:53
paynemaster_@nacc ofcourse i know what it does. why would i be here the first place. i just need to get superuser14:54
paynemaster_the heck14:55

vltHello. I realized that each user's home directory could be read by any other user on our Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.  With the intention to change that I ran `cd /home; chmod 0700 *`.  In /home there are also a few dirs of currently "disabled" users named ".user" so I ran `chmod 0700 .*`, too and THAT might have been a huge mistake.15:20
vltWhat does ".*" mean inside /home?15:21
vltDoes it include somehow ".." as well?15:21

yeevexev captures all the keys and shows the correct keysyms (It shows state 0x0, keycode 77 (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), same_screen YES)15:44
marvin42ducasse, I'm able to access it via the terminal. what can I do to resume and finish the upgrade process?15:44
ducasseyeeve: that would usually mean it isn't captured by another process...15:45
yeeveducasse, it is possible I've messed this up somewhere else. I do have a few custom shortcuts I was playing around with before (I don't have media keys on my keyboard so I was assuming I technically didn't do this myself but you never know)15:45
ducassemarvin42: try 'sudo apt install -f' first, and then 'sudo apt full-upgrade'15:45
ducassemarvin42: after that, 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'15:46
yeeveducasse, this is my .xbindkeyssrc - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25284191/ none of the commands run so maybe the media key stuff just won't work for me :S15:46
ducassemarvin42: then pray if that's your thing :)15:46
marvin42ducasse, doing 'sudo apt install -f' he asks me to do 'dkpg --configure -a'. I've done it. Plugin'n'praying now15:47
ducasseyeeve: i don't get why xbindkeys can't see the events...15:48
ducasseyeeve: are you using a de or a wm?15:48
ducassemarvin42: remember the full-upgrade, it's important15:49
yeeveI'm using XFCE15:49
marvin42ducasse,  after the sudo dpkg --configure -a?15:50
yeeveIt's odd that it's not triggering on the keysyms format only, the other method did work, just on both sets of keypads15:50
ducassemarvin42: the important thing is that you run it15:50
marvin42ducasse, right! thanks a lot!15:51
ducassemarvin42: yw, i hope it works. it usually has when it's happened to me...15:51
yeeveducasse, it also seems odd that xbindkeys -k shows the key being picked up in that case, it's only when you actually try to define the command it doesn't seem to work15:51
ducasseyeeve: i'd be interested to know if this happens if you're only running a wm... could you install something like openbox to test without xfce getting in the way?15:53
yeeveIt must be WM/DE getting in the way :S If I define it as "m:0x0 + c:77" it works instantly and `xbindkeys -n` doesn't show that warning on startup :s15:53
ducasseright :)15:53
ducasseworth a shot.15:53
yeeveducasse, I can't test that at the moment but I'll add it to my list to try tomorrow. I guess you're expecting the XF86 format to work on a basic WM straight away15:54
ducasseyeeve: there shouldn't be anything else interfering, unless the wm does so in the default config. pretty sure openbox for example doesn't do that.15:55
ducasseiirc there are two places to set kb bindings in xfce, one is under wm settings and the other is under keyboard. have you looked through both?15:56
yeeveOk dude :) is it fairly safe to install openbox on a running system? I tried installing i3 before and it broke my XFCE login just being apt-getting it :P15:56
ducasseit absolutely should not do that. if something happens just purge the package and restart the display manager.15:57
yeeveWM Keyboard - doesn't have any XF86 type shortcuts defined. The basic Keyboard does have a couple like XF86WWW and XF86Mail but neither are used15:58
ducassei'm guessing xfsettingsd is what would grab those keys, if something does, but that's just a WAG...16:01
yeeveWAG?16:01
ducassewild-a** guess16:01
yeevelol :P16:01
yeeveI think you're probably right, it's got to be XFCE getting in the way now :@16:02
ducassethere are so many layers it's hard to tell without trying something simpler16:02
yeeveI didn't realise half of the tech that went into this stuff, I've been through a lot of new stuff I didn't even know existed :P messy but interesting16:03
yeeveI'm sure I'll figure it out now I know what to be looking out for :P hopefully I can fix it without ditching XFCE but to be honest I do need to reinstall and have been looking at a few other WM/DE16:03
yeeveducasse, I don't restart very often, do you think restarting my system might make everything fall into place if xbindkeys gets loaded before the WM key listener? Is that maybe too optimistic of a thought?16:05
ducassenot sure how that would work, or indeed how to do that. you could launch xbindkeys from ~/.xsessionrc, but i'm not sure what would start first16:06
ducasseyeeve: btw, i switched from xfce to i3 a couple of years ago, have not looked back. my needs are simple, though.16:09
yeevethat's interesting, I might have to reconsider doing it sooner rather than later :P in your opinion, should I reinstall with 17.04 or is it worth waiting for 17.10?16:10
ducasseyeeve: imo the upgrade is so simple it doesn't matter. just don't use a ton of ppas and it should upgrade just fine. i run 17.10 now, and it works well. lots of daily updates, though.16:11
yeeveI see, so go with 17.04 and then upgrade to 17.10?16:12
yeevehow do you have 17.10 already? Is it easy to get early-access to it?16:12
ducasseif you need to upgrade soon, i'd do that. 17.10 is publicly available, but i can't in good conscience recommend depending on a development release for your daily driver.16:14
yeeveAh OK, I'll bare that in mind :) thanks for all the info today ducasse16:16
marvin42ducasse, apparently everything's fine. thanks a lot!16:16
ducasseyeeve: np. if you want to test 17.10 you can join #ubuntu+1 for support with that :)16:17
yeeveaha awesome :)16:17
kappa1hi16:18
ducassemarvin42: good :) if you had any ppas before the upgrade, they will be disabled now, so in that case look into re-enabling them.16:18
kappa1I am trying to boot ubuntu through rEFInd16:18
kappa1the problem is that refind is not passing the control to grub as it did before with refit16:18
marvin42ducasse, so I'll have to upgrade manually the packages I've installed with gdebi? I'm concerned with a virtualbox machine..16:19
ducassemarvin42: i'm talking about ppas, not locally installed packages. btw, you also need to run 'apt autoremove' to remove old stuff.16:21

FrostbyteGRHey there guys, I'm having trouble getting an I2C sensor working on Raspberry Pi 3 using Ubuntu 16.04 .. any clue? Installed libi2c-dev and added i2c-dev in /etc/modules but no dice, i2cdetect -r 1 displays just hyphens17:14
FrostbyteGRI can confirm that the sensor works properly on an ASUS Tinker Board also running ubuntu from armbian17:14
nemoadac: at least on my bog standard ubuntu desktop ntp was indeed installed by default and launched17:15
nemoadac: I have no idea what's up with your machine, but easily fixed by installing it and starting it ☺17:15
nemosudo service ntp start17:15
vltadac: Afaik, recent ubuntu versions don't use the ntp pkg and do their own time syncing.17:16
nemoadac: maybe you accidentally removed it when installing one of the other time packages17:16
nemovlt: he has same 14.04 as me17:16
nemovlt: link I sent him above says this is what ubuntu does these days.. https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/NTP.html#timedatectl   no idea if that's accurate with very latest distros17:17
pavlosFrostbyteGR: you may need to run sudo raspi-config and enable i2c in advanced options17:17
nemovlt: but anyway. pretty sure my ntp under 14.04 is just the standard ubuntu settings17:17
FrostbyteGRpavlos: raspi-config is not available. neither at the image, nor at the repository17:17
FrostbyteGRI've executed the actions this procedure would do (/etc/modules and so on)17:18
adacvlt, nemo I'm still confused :( not surehow I can check which service is responsible for my time sync17:18

pavlosFrostbyteGR: here's a link if it helps (see the i2c section) ... https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/raspberry-pi-spi-and-i2c-tutorial17:18
FrostbyteGRpavlos: I have already read that, and it doesn't mention anything besides the raspi-config way17:19
FrostbyteGRis it possible to get raspi-config from somewhere? I've heard it's dangerous to use though, as it's has been deprecated17:20
adacnemo, vlt https://gist.github.com/anonymous/c466db185b96a53af321ce04b0428ec517:21
adacactually this is the output of timedatectl17:21

FrostbyteGROne moment please, I just found out something17:23
FrostbyteGRdtparam=i2c_vc=on enables /dev/i2c-017:24

FrostbyteGRpavlos: I was not able to query the sensor via /dev/i2c-0 , but I get the 0x43 and 0x1c addresses there17:35
vltEl_Goose: Recent Ubuntu versions seem to need a line in /etc/fstab for / to mount it rw.17:35
FrostbyteGRpavlos: the expected address according to the sensor datasheet is 0x44 .. so close :(17:35
nemoadac: ah. that makes sense.  I guess due to upgrade from an older ubuntu?  this system here was a clean fresh install of 14.0417:36
adacnemo, I have no clue where this comes from actually. Could be yes17:39

fradecoducasse: it seems to be controlled by a default extension: Windownavigator20:19
fradecoif i turn that off it is not possible to select a window with alt anymore20:20
Jordan_UExterminador: The last 2.6.xx release was in 2011. You should consider whether or not you want to continue with a host using such an old kernel.20:23
oerheks2.6 .. sounds like vagrant?20:25
Exterminadorwhat's the latest kernel for OpenVZ?20:25
oerheks2.6 is the latest for openvz .. with some patches i guess..20:25
Exterminadorit's the one they're using20:26
Exterminadorlxc containers are similar right?20:26
* oerheks is not saying it is old and vulnerable.. just not that sophisticated20:27
Exterminadoryeah. seems lxc containers work same way20:29
Exterminadorno way to install snaps?20:29
oerheksno, openvz does not support lxc, HW virtualisation or windows support https://openvz.org/Comparison20:29
Jordan_UExterminador: oerheks: From what I gather OpenVZ is a technology supported by the upstream kernel, at least for most features, and thus the latest "OpenVZ kernel" would be 4.12.20:30
ExterminadorI do have an lxc machine somewhere20:30
ExterminadorI was trying to install a rocketchat-server20:31
oerheksvagrant supports up to 14.04 ... so snap support is possible20:31
oerheksJordan_U, ah, patched it is20:32
Exterminadorbut the command they provide is 'snap install rockectchat-server'20:32
Exterminadorand none of them did supported that. I guess only my KVM server do support it20:33
Jordan_UExterminador: I don't think you can use snaps within any other container technology. KVM is virtualization rather than containerization so it will work fine.20:34
Jordan_Uoerheks: http://openvz.livejournal.com/42793.html says that patches are desireable but not required for using OpenVZ, unless that has changed since 2012.20:36
Exterminadorwell, but on the KVM server I have some warning on webmin related to /snap about no space left I guess20:37
Bundestrojanergood evening. how can i set the environment variable for sane mentioned in note 3? http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-announce/2017/000036.html20:38
Bundestrojanermy frontend is xsane20:39
Jordan_UBundestrojaner: I believe that "SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1 xsane" should do it.20:39
BundestrojanerJordan_U: i think so too, but i have no idea in which config file20:40
Jordan_UBundestrojaner: Literally run that in a terminal and things should work. Do you want help changing the launcher so you don't have to use the terminal to launch xsane?20:42
BundestrojanerJordan_U: without export?20:42
BundestrojanerJordan_U: Changing the launcher would be great20:42
Jordan_UBundestrojaner: Correct. Setting the variable in the same line as you run the command exports the variable for just that command. If you ran "SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1; export SANE_USB_WORKAROUND; xsane" it would also work. I think that you should test that running the command I gave actually allows your scanner to work.20:44
BundestrojanerJordan_U: I've just exectuted "SANE_USB_WORKAROUND=1; export SANE_USB_WORKAROUND; xsane" - it didn't work. But i have no idea if the workaround works for my scanner...20:46
Jordan_UBundestrojaner: Are you even using Sane-backends 1.0.27? It apparently was only released in May, and that workaround doesn't apply to earlier versions.20:48

Jordan_UKeyboardNotFound: What happens when you run "update-manager" in a terminal? Please pastebin the output of "apt policy ubuntu-desktop".21:29
KeyboardNotFoundJordan_U: now I installed the "update-manager". Also I'm not using ubuntu with xfce, not the default so there's no installed ubuntu-desktop21:30
KeyboardNotFoundI scrolled through all my apt logs and found out that when I purged java, update-manager was removed. Is it dependent on java?21:35
Jordan_UKeyboardNotFound: "apt policy xubuntu-desktop" then.21:36
KeyboardNotFoundJordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25286014/21:36
Jordan_UKeyboardNotFound: No, update-manager does not depend on java.21:39
KeyboardNotFoundJordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25286030/21:40
Jordan_UKeyboardNotFound: OK. xubuntu-desktop is a metapackage that depends on all of the packages installed by default when you install Xubuntu. You probably want to re-install it, and you'll see what other things have somehow gotten removed (maybe some intentionally and others not).21:42
Exterminadorwhen i login into webmin i have this info.. how can i see what i have on those locations, if they are needed and how to erase them if not needed? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/51xTJHFw/no_space_snap.png21:42
KeyboardNotFoundJordan_U: Ok, I'm going to reinstall it21:43
KeyboardNotFoundJordan_U: Now I have installed the last version in apt policy21:45
KeyboardNotFoundBut I'm still curious how my update-manager disappeared and put my computer on high risk with using outdated software more than 1 month...21:45

hanasakiwhat will provide a vpn that can run over standard SSH port 22 and also tunnel over https?21:58
th0rhanasaki, I think you misunderstand how vpns work22:01
hanasakilooking for a vpn that will use standard SSH as its protocol.  Also that can tunnel over httpS for when it is behind a firewall22:02
gabrielchanasaki: i think you are searching any vps with sshd server22:08
rypervenchehanasaki: You can also set up your own if you have a VPN or server in another location.22:08

plaindaveI just installed Lubuntu again because my laptop is slow. I can't seem to turn my touchpad off. I've tried just about everything. Any ideas?22:15
donofrio_anyone know how I can fix my video issues, was perfect during install but after reboot.... ;(22:17
donofrio_my dmesg is https://apaste.info/X1vH22:18
KeyboardNotFoundWhy I can't upgrade firefox from version 54 (available in apt repository) to firefox 55?22:23
hanasakigabrielc: and rypervenche .  need to setup my own vpn server.    gabrielc do you have a reference to how to setup the server?   in this case there is no VPS (virtual private server) ..  the need is a full vpn22:23
rypervenchehanasaki: You will need a separate network and a machine on it where you will install your VPN. If you do not have that, then you will need get it first.22:24
hanasakiI have it22:25
rypervenchehanasaki: Then you can proceed. I like OpenVPN, personally. It's not too too hard to get set up. You'll probably want to use a guide to set it up though.22:27
hanasakiwhat do you prefer about openvpn?    I am looking at it however, 1. it looks like its own proprietary protocol and 2. it doesn't tunnel over https (this is needed)22:28
donofrio_anyone got time to help me fix my video issue...22:28
hanasakirypervenche:  also, what controls the mapping of remote user ID to vpn server user ID?  much like the NFS mapping of UID22:28
hanasakidonofrio_:  don't ask to ask.. just present the issue and ask for what  you need22:29
rypervenchehanasaki: There is no user mapping. It is not like NFS. You will have access to the remote network's network.22:29
donofrio_hanasaki, so help new install of 17.04 and I get this (mouse moves aross both screens and I can even bring up terminal on left side - any thoughts of how to fix? https://1drv.ms/i/s!AsBlZbBf72iNm4Z_w3Cbr3OW7rNKHw  hwinfo@ https://apaste.info/naDx22:29
donofrio_hanasaki, my dmesg is https://apaste.info/X1vH22:29
hanasakirypervenche:  perfect22:29
donofrio_hanasaki, were you able to see my screenshot and the inxi output and do you know how to resolve my video issue22:31
hanasakidonofrio_:  does y9our bcm card work?  had issues with mine...  looks like your sync might be off... have you tried it with JUST the monitor that doesn't work?22:31
hanasakidonofrio_:  check your X logs.. does the driver match the graphics card in hardware?   any EE or warnings?22:32
donofrio_hanasaki, uh when it was 16.04 is looked find and both were hooked up I'll shutdown and remove the sencond monitor22:32
KeyboardNotFoundWhy I can't upgrade firefox from version 54 (available in apt repository) to firefox 55?22:32
hanasakidonofrio_:  ... no... reboot with JUST the 2nd monitor that currently doesnot work22:33
hanasakirypervenche:  so far openvpn system starts lOL but no process running22:33
rypervenchehanasaki: OpenVPN takes a bit of configuring before it will work.22:34
hanasakirypervenche:  lol I noticed... can it tunnel over an http/https connection?22:34
donofrio_hanasaki, second monitor is working that is why I said I can bring up terminal, I just have a hard time logging in cause I cannot see the gui well on right nbuilt in monitor22:34
hanasakiah22:35
donofrio_hanasaki, and where is X.log anymore...I checked /var/log but couldn't see X11.lloog22:35
gabrielchanasaki: you may also want to read about strongswan22:35
hanasakidonofrio_:  and if you ONLY have the first monitor installed?22:35
rypervenchehanasaki: It does not use the HTTP or HTTPS protocol, however you could run it over port 80 or 443 if you wanted to.22:35
hanasakirypervenche:  yes. I know.  I was asking about tunneling it over httpS22:35
rypervenchehanasaki: Why would you want to do that?22:35
hanasakigabrielc:  what do you prefer about strongswan vs openvpn and visa versa?22:36
hanasakirypervenche:  as stated... to go through a firewall and http proxy22:36
gabrielchanasaki: everything depends on the needs and results of the tests you do22:37
gabrielchanasaki: for example what devices/software will be VPN clients22:39
hanasakiwindows/mac/linux22:39
hanasakigabrielc:  is there a matrix of what each is good or not so good for?22:39
donofrio_hanasaki, upon reboot left monitor is turned off and unplugged and right mointor looks "just like my 1drv link"22:39
hanasakidoes the monitor work OK when it is the only one plugged in?22:42
=== coffeeguy is now known as zenguy
donofrio_hanasaki, no it looks like the photo I posted (aka like and analog tv set that cannot tune into  channel)22:43
hanasakidonofrio_:  try the monitor on another computer?  try it on the same video port that the working monitor is on22:46
donofrio_hanasaki, I guess your helping too many peole at one cause you missed my whole problem - the built in mointor is not working in 17.04, the second external montor is working great....22:46
donofrio_hanasaki, it's an imac so I cannot just "plug it in to another computer"22:47
Abbottdoes ubuntu ship with a remote desktop solution22:47

behelitOn deep water: trying to upgrade 10.04 on a live server :) Have updated all sources to old-releases, but now I'm hit with "ERROR:root:Can not find backport 'libapt-pkg4.12'" and it restores the state of the machine22:59
behelitAh. Seems to be some other reference to archive.ubuntu.com23:01
donofrio_behelit, 10.04?23:01
behelityeah23:02
behelitdonofrio_: it's kind of old23:02
behelitmaybe it is not still possible?23:03
donofrio_behelit, just wondered (I mean I still use 12.04 on myppc hosts fwiw)23:03
donofrio_behelit, never give up never surrender (I mean google and here is your friend)23:04
tgm4883behelit: honestly, I'd do a fresh install of 16.04 rather than 10.04 -> 12.04 -> 14.04 -> 16.04 but it should technically still be possible to do it23:07
causativehow do I disable "alt" as the key to show the dash?  I have tried ccsm setting the "Key to show the Dash, Launcher and Help Overlay" to "Disabled" but "alt" is still showing me the dash...23:09

naccglisignoli: https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/example-preseed.txt (there's a similare file for ubuntu on the help page, i think), see the bottom23:47
naccglisignoli: just put in your late-command 'apt-install ...'23:47
naccglisignoli: that won't affect your target, though, just the installer env23:47
glisignoliOk I'll give that a go. Thans!23:48
