[01:28] <bodangly> Bashing-om: Wanted to thank you for your help the other evening. My laptop is working fine still, so all those steps saved it.
[01:30] <Bashing-om> bodangly: Hey Glad2 help . A thanks goes a long way to the next one :)
[02:00] <JustTheDoctor> hmm, i just installed yukuake and konsole, when i open it and i type, most of my keys that i input show up differ, like if i type abcd i get something like asfe
[02:00] <JustTheDoctor> and idea's on how i can fix this?
[02:01] <calamari> was helping a friend with ubuntu user last night. they religiously applied updates and had HUNDREDS of old kernels, so applying anything kernel related took over 15 minutes in update-grub. My question is: is there a package that will automatically remove old kernels when, say, there are more than 5? It needs to be automatic or at worst something scriptable
[02:02] <neverme> Hi everyone, when the daily apt runs, it is stopping some services and is not starting it again, what should I change in other for those service to be started again once apt daily is done?
[02:04] <Bashing-om> calamari: 'sudo apt autoremove' . Use the unattended-upgrades package to regularly run autoremove for you. Edit the autoremove setting in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades from 'false' to 'true' .
[02:05] <calamari> Bashing-om: tried that.. they weren't listed in autoremove
[02:06] <calamari> maybe that is a recent feature and they need to upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 to get it?
[02:07] <Bashing-om> calamari: Then the a) package manager is broke , b) /boot/ is full and no operating head room . in these events one can renove old kernels .
[02:09] <calamari> well, I was forced to just manually move the old files to another dir
[02:09] <calamari> because to remove the old kernels via package manager would have taken days... weeks?
[02:10] <Bashing-om> calamari: Only need the one booting kernel installed, nice to keep one other as a back up .
[02:11] <Bashing-om> calamari: Package manager can remove in minutes .
[02:12] <calamari> Bashing-om: not in this case. as I said, update-grub was taking at least 15 minutes PER kernel
[02:13] <calamari> and then it was even longer after it got past that, maybe about 5 minutes more per kernel
[02:15] <Bashing-om> calamari: Yhen the system is in a inconsistent state. http://termbin.com/7o9d . interested in seeing how long it takes autoremove to work ?
[02:45] <JustTheDoctor> how would i set a file to have the permissions of -rwxr-xr-x
[02:48] <Stanley00> JustTheDoctor: chmod 755 filename, or chmod u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx filename
[02:48] <JustTheDoctor> thank you,
[02:49] <JustTheDoctor> I'm still trying to figure out why i can launch the app i compiled from xfce4 desktop ;(
[02:49] <Stanley00> JustTheDoctor: it usually just need execute permission, so chmod +x should work fine too
[02:50] <CuChulaind> at what point during login are the bash_completion.d scripts run?
[02:50] <JustTheDoctor> i've done chmod 755 and +x on it,
[02:50] <JustTheDoctor> it still wont launch xfce doesnt see it as a executeable, it asks me which program to open it with
[02:51] <CuChulaind> how can I use this to get a different shell when login completes?
[02:52] <Stanley00> JustTheDoctor: then it simple just can't run by itself, is it a script file?
[02:53] <JustTheDoctor> nope,
[02:53] <JustTheDoctor> its a exe app compiled from source.
[02:53] <JustTheDoctor> if i open a console and type ./appname it runs no problem.
[02:56] <Stanley00> JustTheDoctor: hmm, it's strange, can you run "file ./appname" to make sure it's elf executable file?
[02:57] <th0r> JustTheDoctor, try running it in a shell 'sh ./appname'
[02:58] <JustTheDoctor> of o do ./appname alone it works
[02:59] <th0r> JustTheDoctor, yes, but you want to run it from a shortcut. Edit the shortcut to read 'sh ./appname'
[02:59] <th0r> JustTheDoctor, the shortcut doesn't work because the app needs to run in a shell. When you start it from a terminal, you are in a shell
[03:26] <snowcatman> hello, in vlc i get permision denied for playing my dvd, can anyone help?
[03:28] <David> snowcatman: Try right clicking the dvd drive from your file manager and click properties, there click on the rw permissions checkbox.
[03:29] <David> Then relaunch vlc.
[03:30] <David> snowcatman: Tell ne if it works!
[03:30] <David> Sorry me not ne
[03:31] <snowcatman> David, i dont see that option
[03:33] <David> snowcatman: Try the clicking on permissions rather than properties.
[03:34] <snowcatman> there is no rw and security context is unknown
[03:35] <David> Hmmm... You could try ripping an mp4 from the cd.
[03:36] <David> What kind of dvd is this?
[03:36] <David> Is it drm protected
[03:37] <snowcatman> comercial dvd movie for my kids "a dogs purpose"
[03:37] <snowcatman> just wanting to play the dvd, not rip it.
[03:38] <David> Ah... Its probably protected by drm... Try another video playing application (gnome video?) or run vlc as sudo.
[03:40] <snowcatman> its telling me that vlc is not suppost to be run as root, does not open vlc
[03:41] <David> Did you try gnome video
[03:42] <snowcatman> permision denied
[03:42] <David> Not as sudo
[03:43] <David> ?
[03:43] <snowcatman> um, so far nothing is happening
[03:44] <snowcatman> in sudo totem i dont get anything
[03:45] <David> Gnome video must be loading otherwise relaunch it
[03:45] <snowcatman> ok
[03:45] <David> From the dash start menu
[03:46] <David> (superkey)
[03:47] <snowcatman> ok, i deleted what i had in there and added from the dvd drive. i get picture and other langues but no sound
[03:50] <snowcatman> David,  well its not the main movie, its the do not pirate part of the dvd. not the main part.
