locrian9I'm running an ftp server 'vsftpd' on Ubuntu 14.04 and I'd like to sync up to a local NTP server on my LAN.  What is the best ntp client to install to keep this ftp server in time?00:00
pavloslocrian9: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/06/linux-ntp-server-client/00:21
kk4ewtlocrian9,  i would be more concerned that you are running a ftp server that is not getting any more security updates00:23
malaverdiereHi everybody. I got an installation problem over an LUKS+LVM setup from another distro. My system is booting in the recovery console. I have sda1 that is fat32 for EFI, sda2 that is ext2 for /boot sda3 that is having my encrypted lvm volumes. For installing the bootloader, I selected sda. What should I have done instead?00:25
malaverdiere(and no, it didn't ask me for a password to unlock the encrypted partitions)00:26

rasputin880I have a bluetooth headset that works fine BT250 (is what it identifies as) but when I connect my bluetooth keyboard the sound stutters02:09

harutSo I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 on a Dell Optiplex 755 (stock video) and every time I go to fullscreen for any video (YouTube, ElectricSheep, etc.), it will go fullscreen but then when I exit fullscreen the last frame replaces the desktop and none of the windows work, forcing me to reboot02:20
harutUpdated to the latest Intel driver for linux already too02:20
harutWhen I originally got this machine fullscreen video worked fine, but I reinstalled Ubuntu and now it does this02:21
rasputin880harut: does the same thing happen if you change the sound volume of the video02:31
harutrasputin880, nope02:44

nhatminh1209I had a problem installing EtherVPN Client on lubuntu. I set EtherVPN Server on another computer using Window. everything is fine. I enter command: "Accountconnect myaccount", and "$ sudo dhclient vpn_NIC name" And I got message connected. I Type "ifconfig" to see if I got an IP. I got an IT too but then It announced "Connecting"03:26
nhatminh1209and then vpnclient keep connecting but It will never connect to the Ethervpn server on my Windows again. Can anyone please tell me what happen?03:28
harut@glitsj16 Seems like mostly in the web browser, I haven't noticed it elsewhere03:28
nhatminh1209Bashing-om: Thanks03:30
glitsj16harut: if you use firefox you could try what's suggested at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#Tearing_video_in_fullscreen_mode03:30
glitsj16harut: basically that boils down to changing hardware accelleration, I'm not sure this is your issue though, but it's worth a shot I suppose03:32
Bashing-omnhatminh1209: :) - but me no help with VPN issues .03:34
harutglitsj16, I'm using Chromium03:38

asynecWill Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 update into the main distro when 17.10 is released?03:41
Bashing-omasynec: If you keep 17.04 updated it will .03:42
asynecI'm currently on Fedora 26 so that I can take advantage of Gnome & Wayland, along with Fedora's support for latest kernel version etc. I really miss being able to use DEB files and those aspects of Fedora are driving me nuts. Is there any version of Ubuntu that is focused on having the most up to date packages in the way Fedora is?03:43
glitsj16asynec: you could try a live daily ISO from 17.10 to check current development, but there isn't anything specifically more up to date in the Ubuntu release concept04:06
asynecok,thanks guys. i you know of a distro that might be a better fit for me, i'd be super interested04:07

Fretegiasynec, whats the deal with the usage of .DEB files?04:08
Fretegiasynec, using stuff outta the repos that are packaged as .DEB?04:09
Fretegioutside*04:09
glitsj16asynec: if you want a debian based package manager not really, otherwise arch linux's pacman is quite nice IMO04:10
asynecwell, on Fedora, I can't use DEBs and I'm having a very frustrating experience with installing software. I miss that about Ubuntu. But I love the way Fedora includes the latest kernel by default and its general software philosphy04:10
Fretegiasynec, Arch is what i was going to suggest as well.  My personal fave is Gentoo, portage is incredibly powerful but gentoo takes a little warming up to04:13
Fretegiboth will get you about as bleeding edge as possible04:13
asynecyeah, i was definitely considering Arch, but I am concerned about the availability of packages for arch as well.04:14
lotuspsychjeFretegi: plz dont suggest other distro's in the ubuntu channel04:14
asynecwouldnt it be similar to the issues i have finding rpms?04:15

I have been using the PrtScr+REISUB sequence to reboot my computer. But I have recently learned about SysRq+F which should trigger oom_kill and kill some memory-hogging process. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work on mysystem12:28
phischarunkumar413: that would set the metadata::icon12:28
phischbut not the standard::icon12:28
notnotdanMy /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq says "1" and I can trigger a reboot by SysRQ+B12:28
phischby setting the standard icon you would get features like scaling12:28
notnotdanbut typing out SysRQ+F doesn't seem to do anything12:29
arunkumar413phisch: u want to change it for file type? not for individual file?12:29
BluesKajnotnotdan, got a swap partition/file ?12:30
notnotdanBluesKaj: yes, I have a fairly large (4gb) swap file12:30
phischthe "Fesktop, Documents, Downloads, Music..." folders in your users home directory all receive icons through their `standard::icon` attribute, there are more possible values/icons and i would like to create a folder that uses another one of those12:31
phischarunkumar41312:31
BluesKajnotnotdan, your swap should be 1.5X your installed RAM12:31
notnotdanBluesKaj: so I guess I should resize my swap partition12:32
notnotdanfair enough, but I still want to fix the magic key for oom_kill12:32
BluesKajif you have 4G RAM then yes12:33
notnotdanI have 8gb of RAM12:33
BluesKajthen I doubt that you're memory is to blame unless you have a lot of apps open at once, notnotdan12:35
BluesKajyour12:35
notnotdanBluesKaj: I have an app that is leaking a lot of memory very quickly12:36
notnotdanI can see it in htop or in the system monitor12:36
notnotdanActually I have 8GB of swap, my ba12:36
BluesKajyou mean mistake of course12:37
BluesKajthink killing the app responsible is better or your system than REISUB etc the find out if there's a bug associated with the app and report it12:40
BluesKajthen12:41
notnotdanThat's the whole point, I do not want to reboot the whole computer, I just want to kill the app.12:41
notnotdanHence I want to be able to use SysRq + F12:41
=== ShalokShalom_ is now known as ShalokShalom
BluesKajnotnotdan, doesn't ubuntu have a system monitor gui app that allows pid kills/termination ..kde/plasma certainly does and it's quite effective12:44
notnotdanBluesKaj: As I mentioned earlier, this memory leak completely freezes my system so no, I cann't use a system monitor gui app.12:46
arunkumar413is there an opensource ticket support system12:46

farhadno way to autohide top bar in ubuntu 16.04?12:53
vltfarhad: I'm just curious: Why do you want to know if there's no way?12:55
Piciarunkumar413: RT is one12:56
farhadvlt: i have change my monitor and now its on my norve alot12:58
farhadvlt: i have change my monitor and now its on my nerve alot12:58
farhadvlt: my monitor is wide alot and top bar is in my eye. i cant tolerate it :((13:00
farhadvlt: if i can remove top bar is very good. i found /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/apps/unity.css but cant find top bar to removed it :)13:02
donteventryhi13:04
minimecfarhad: If you switch to the gnome3 desktop, you can hide the top bar.13:04
donteventrywhat is the name of the package for cdrecord?13:04
donteventryI want to use cdrecord. so which package please .13:04
arunkumar413Pici: u mean otrs?13:04
donteventrydoes anyone know?13:05
farhadminimec: how can i?13:06
farhadminimec: is there any option any where?13:06
fireball```farhad, install 'sudo apt install wmctrl' & 'wmctrl -r ":ACTIVE:" -b toggle,fullscreen'13:06
farhadfireball```, this is for fullscreen of that page. not solution for autohide or remove top bar.13:07
minimecfarhad: Be aware that you change the desktop environment... So the desktop will be slightly different from unity. https://askubuntu.com/a/76607413:08
Piciarunkumar413: https://bestpractical.com/request-tracker/13:08
minimecfarhad: If you have autoologin installed, you will have to logout afterwards probably and switch the desktop session to gnome313:08
minimecfarhad: In gnome3 you will then have to install a gnome extension called 'hide-topbar'.13:09
farhadminimec: this? https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/545/hide-top-bar/13:10
minimecfarhad: exactly.13:10

barendBill Gates doesn't work for Microsoft :D13:15
Piciarunkumar413: I've never used it, so I don't know, sorry. Check its documentation?13:16
donteventrybut barend which lang do you know?13:17
donteventryit's looks like 80% of linux users know programming.13:17
barenddonteventry: i use Python and Go (the golang.org one)13:20
donteventryso go is a replacement for C++?? right. as most people including the makers of C dont' like c++.13:24

ioriaHanumaan, so, or you try with an external package, or you use the repos one ... i'd say14:37
ioriaHanumaan, i don't use it but the command should be (for the repos one) apt-get install python-rdkit librdkit1 rdkit-data14:37
Hanumaanioria, repos one got installed without any problem but MolToinchi is not there and external package installation is not working14:38

leftyfbIf I do a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 server onto an Intel NUC, the 2nd interface is p2p1. If I do  fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 server onto the same machine the interface is enp1s0. If I upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04 it keeps the p2p1. Any idea how I can force it to use the name that 16.04 natively wants use for the interface?15:22
glitsj16texla: okay, and where is sda7 mounted right now in Ubuntu?15:22
leftyfbbesides manually writing a udev rule15:22

texlaglitsj16, sda7 is the distro Mint 17 phisical location in gparted in right after sda615:24

leftyfbducasse: there's no rules in /etc/udev/rules.d15:31
leftyfbducasse: I just want the new, native ifae names from 16.04.15:32
ioriarobotboy, yeah, some crashes .... you can logout , login your old user (in console) and try to back-up (move) your ~/.config and ~/.compiz folders15:33
glitsj16leftyfb: oh I misread your message, besides a udev rule I don't think there's an option.. systemd is the reason why it changes if names on 16.04 and trusty isn't systemd as far as I know15:33

leftyfbglitsj16: a fresh install of 16.04 gets the names I'm looking for. An upgrade from 14.04 (p2p1) to 16.04(enp1s0) causes the names to stick with the 14.04 naming. I'd like to have the upgraded 16.04 act like a fresh install of 16.04 and use the fresh install names without having to manually edit/create a udev rule since the fresh install doesn't need this rule15:35
glitsj16texla: can you see it under /mnt with ls?15:35

leftyfbI've found lots of documentation on reverting back to 14.04 naming and forcing your own with udev rules. I'm trying to just make it use the new naming that 16.04 uses on a fresh install without having to use udev rules which the fresh install doesn't use for it's naming.15:48

ubottureligiono: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit.

robotboy_ioria: I did it , I have to reboot it right know?16:52
ioriaabsolutely16:52
religionohey py3.6 is several months old, and also how does ubuntu check for stability when it's a programming language adn not a software.16:53
naccreligiono: you understand that python is an *interpreter*, not just a language, right?16:53
robotboy_ioria: the I will be disscontected16:53
religiononacc of course.16:53
religionobut it's stable16:53
naccreligiono: so your question doesn't make any sense16:53
naccreligiono: python is absolutely "a software"16:53
religionoyes, it does, as the interpreter is stable16:54
naccreligiono: python3.6 makes changes that are not compatible with 3.5. So you have to update *everything* that might break. Or you get runtime failures. That's why the version isn't bumped in 16.04.16:54
religionoand it's too old, several months old, not like a week old. so I read teh latest faq, and is not applicable i this situation, especially for old enough packages,l some softwares in ubuntu repos are even several years old!!!16:55
naccreligiono: i'm not sure why you think you are smarter than the people that maintain software in ubuntu16:55
naccreligiono: it feels like maybe you don't understand what stability means in the context of that faq?16:55
religionomay be.16:56
religionoespecially too old softwares tend to introduce not just unstability, but serious security flaws....16:57

James_EppHello. Can anyone in channel give any anecdotes on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet#A_variation:_Booting_the_.22Live_CD.22_image ? My goal is to pxe boot the ISO contents (using nfs netboot) on a computer, and then install Ubuntu onto that computer's HDD. The reason I ask is that back in the day I did this with 12.04, the actual install on the destination computer would have no networking at all. Can anyone verify if that17:37
James_Eppbug is resolved?17:37

James_Eppnacc: I was aware it would be a long shot and probably come down to experimentation. We'll find out!17:41
leftyfblittlekitty: none of this is relevant if you did not type those commands. Someone else did which means you have been compromised (not probably). Time to wipe clean, reinstall and restore from backup. Maybe take an image of your machine (offline) and after you rebuild, look at the image to try and find out how it might have been compromised.17:42
leftyfblittlekitty: step #1, immediately take said machine offline and do not reconnect until it has been wiped and reinstalled17:43
littlekittyWould it be save to download a few text files first?17:44
pavloslittlekitty: you can look at /var/log/auth.log to see WHEN someone became root in your system but as others said, take the machine offline17:44
leftyfblittlekitty: since that'll take seconds and you've already kept it online for at least 10 minutes longer than you should have, sure17:45

pavloslittlekitty: is there an auth.log.1 or other auth compressed files in /var/log/ ?17:47
leftyfblittlekitty: ok, then after the seconds it takes to copy a text file aby any means, disconnect it from the internet17:48
leftyfbpavlos: please. You are setting a bad example by encouraging littlekitty to troubleshoot a compromised machine while it is still online. We really should not be providing any further supported until we are 100% certain the machine is offline17:49

littlekittythen ill disconnect it immediately17:56
leftyfblittlekitty: we're not saying you have to wipe this machine right this minute. Only disconnect it from the internet17:57

johnfgWhen the installer is asking about Installation type: what should I choose if I plan on using zfs?18:13
leftyfbpavlos: I'm not so sure that works retroactively18:16
pavlosleftyfb: I just typed in on my system and it showed me old datetime18:17
leftyfbpavlos: did you already have this setup?18:17
pavlosleftyfb: timeformat was not set but I have history set18:18
leftyfbpavlos: I'm pretty sure it will only record the datetime to the history log after you set the format. Otherwise, it's not recording timestamps but instead line numbers18:18
leftyfbpavlos: btw, HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T ' is a slightly cleaner way of typing it18:19
pavlosleftyfb: try it ... history gave me line# and command, set HISTFORMAT and I got line# datetime command18:20
ducassejohnfg: leave room for an extra filesystem or add virtual disk(s). the installer knows nothing about zfs - you need to handle that later18:21
leftyfbpavlos: I tried it on a machine where HISTTIMEFORMAT hasn't been specified (by default) and it does not work the way you think it does. The entire history up until that point has a timestamp of the time you set HISTTIMEFORMAT18:22
leftyfbpavlos: so it littlekitty's case, it won't help them18:22

edge226I just did a Ubuntu 16.04 install. It does not seem to honor what UEFI partition to use, Why not?19:19
ioriaedge226, sudo parted -l19:19
edge226I have 3 UEFI partitions. It saw all 3. I told it not to use the nvme *AND* not to use the SDA, Yet it override my choice of SDC having the data and stuck it on the first drive in the list the nvme.19:20
edge226I told it to install the bootloarder on SDC as well at the bottom.19:20
edge226ioria: this is not a requires troubleshooting issue, this is a I want info on why it wont install to the partition I tell it to inquiry.19:21
edge226Every ubuntu install has not honored my choices since I've had this computer. The old one I would not have noticed because it was legacy but this one... I made a special UEFI parition so it could not screw with the other paritions and I'd like to know why.19:22
edge226I can clearly see via lsblk that it has overriden my choice... ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0   512M  0 part /boot/efi19:23
bizzehthe ubuntu installer has taken the top spot from the windows installer on "installer that completely ignores your choices and does what it feels best, because it knows better than you". does it it me all the time19:23
edge226bizzeh: thanks for telling me its not *just* me.19:24
edge226This is a pretty serious bug imho.19:24
bizzehbug/by design19:24
edge226shit by design, makes sense.19:24
bizzehdevs/maintainers seem to think they know better than users when it comes to how they want their system to be set up19:25
edge226Not all of them, only the shitty ones.19:26
bizzehwindows caught enough shit for it in the past that now, its one of the best installers "install here, in this way, on this disk, on this partition.." "ok".. where you would previously get "no, eat a dick, im using all of disk0"19:26
ioria!language19:26
ubottuPlease avoid any language that may be considered offensive, including acronyms and obfuscation of such - also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines || The main channels are English only, for other languages, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList19:26
bizzeheven when ubuntu installs to the correct partition for me, i point the bootloader to that partition, as i dont want it in the MBR or as an efi loader, i want it in the partition....  ignores me and stuffs it in the mbr19:27
edge226honestly all of the installers are pretty poor. But installers are a freakishly complex thing to make.19:27
bizzehioria: offence is taken, not given. if somebody is offended by words that are typed on a screen, they need to reevaluate their priorities19:28
edge226bizzeh: I think its more, we don't know the age of the person who may be on the other end and they want it to be family friendly than anything else.19:28
ioriabizzeh, simply no need for that19:28
bizzeh"offence" is also wildely subjective19:28
ioriabizzeh, nope19:29
edge226ioria: he does have a point though, people tend to try to be offended by everything and try to make it so you can't really say anything these days.19:29
bizzehyes, it is, it varies not only from culture to culture, but varies widely within a single culture and from person to person, what some people find offensive, others dont really care about19:29
bizzehcant satisfy everyone all the time19:30
bizzehthe world ties to hard to do just that, and it should stop it19:30
oerheksyour rant now is so non-constructive, if you want support, ask so, or file a bugreport to help make it better, especially nvme can have some attention.19:30
bizzehyes, the world should be civil, like, dont kill each other, dont rape... but words? really...19:30
ioriabizzeh, words are the beginning19:31
bizzehnot if their meaning is stripped away. refuse to be offended by them, they lose their power19:31
bizzehwords are powerful because people allow them to be19:32
edge226oerheks: its not a nvme issue... If I unplugged the nvme it would override sda instead. Guaranteed its just picking the first UEFI it sees and rolling with it.19:32
oerheks512 should be enough for 4 efi instances..19:32
edge226oerheks: the point? I wanted each drive with its partitions to have its *own* independent efi.19:33
edge226oerheks: so now i pull that drive and the EFI is *elsewhere* thats stupid.19:33
edge226I mean I can easily migrate the efi but again thats *not* the point.19:34
oerheksoh, i thought ubuntu was the troublemaker.19:34
edge226It *IS* the troublemaker.19:35
edge226Every other Linux OS installs the EFI where you tell it to. Not scans for the first and overrides your custom choices.19:35
edge226oerheks: do I have to make some new account someplace or is my github enough to make a bug report?19:37
ioriabizzeh, " Your words become your actions, Your actions become your habits, Your habits become your destiny"   Mahatma Gandhi19:37
bizzehdoesnt HAVE to be true19:37
oerheksedge226, if i understand corectly, i would need to remove other devices to get a clean efi, that does not interfere with others. or partition this manually before installing19:38
edge226oerheks: you do not.19:38
edge226oerheks: it does not interfere with the other efi devices thats right. But I installed on /dev/sdc, I said not to use the nvme/sda efi partition and it turned to fat32 not being used.19:39
edge226I selected /dev/sdc as where to install the bootloader.19:39
oerheksoke, yes, file a bugreport. mention your github, no problem.19:39
edge226"file a bugreport" Do I need to create a special Ubuntu account?19:40
edge226If so I'm certainly not doing it. that is 'why' I asked if github credentials were enough.19:40
tgm4883edge226: you'd need a launchpad account as I doubt the installer stuff is on github19:41
oerheksone can add this in a comment ??19:42
edge226tgm4883: then there is the answer. I'm not filing a bug report *because* it requires a special account.19:42
tgm4883edge226: ok, fair enough. Then you shouldn't complain when it's not fixed19:42
edge226I assume thats how it goes for a *lot* of people. Might want to reconsider using things others use.19:42

cattuslaetushi i have a laptop with wifi and a desktop with no internet. both pcs have ubuntu 17 clean installed and gigabit ethernet. i want to share the laptop wifi with the desktop over ethernet. i followed this and it did not work https://askubuntu.com/questions/169473/sharing-connection-to-other-pcs-via-wired-ethernet, both devices networkmanager keeps saying disconnected21:08
kenrinDo you have the connect automatically box checked like in the pictures ?21:09
dakerEriC^^ i don't have that folder(running live session)21:09
cattuslaetuskenrin: for me the box is on the general tab rather than above the tab so i had to find it  but yes it has been checked on both machines since i started trying21:12
cattuslaetusit says "automatically connect to this network when it is available" and is checked on both21:13
kenrinThen you need to figure out why it isn't getting an IP address.  If you don't have a DHCP server which I doubt you do in that configuration then you need to assign static addresses manually21:14
cattuslaetuswhen i follow the page's directions for assigning the ip manually on the desktop, the desktop says connected but cannot access the internet or the laptop. nothing changes on the laptop and networkmanager continues to say disconnected.21:15
kenrinSee if it gives you an address on the laptop like it does in this askubuntu on "server" computer: https://askubuntu.com/questions/359856/share-wireless-internet-connection-through-ethernet21:16
kenrinProbably need to disable firewalls too or open the ports21:17
=== KindTwo is now known as KindOne
cattuslaetuskenrin: the laptop does not get an ip address automatically like in that page. the networkmanager tray icon animates for a while during which time connection information only displays the wifi connection info. then networkmanager gives an ethernet disconnected notification and repeats this.21:21
kenrinWell maybe bashing-om knows how to fix that.  I've only ever done NAT through iptables or firewalld21:21
cattuslaetusthe computers are connected directly with a regular cat5e cable. i have heard that maybe a "crossover" patch cable is necessary, but that if both devices had a Gigabit Ethernet controller then this was not required,21:22
vltcattuslaetus: What does `ethtool eth0` tell you? (Or whatever your eth device is called)21:23
Bashing-omkenrin: Uh Huh . You the better here . I have no WIFI experience :P21:24
vltcattuslaetus: Do you have a working wifi connection on the laptop?21:24
cattuslaetusvlt: yes working wifi and that command says 1000baset and MDI-X on (auto) somewhere in the output on the laptop but on the desktop it says 1000baset and MDI-X off (auto). is that what you need? i will make a paste if you want the whole thing21:28
[n0mad]cattuslaetus: according to this you need a crossover https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/6253721:28
vltcattuslaetus: I expected the last line of ethtool’s output to say “link detected: yes/no”.21:31
cattuslaetus[n0mad]: i don't have a crossover but i have an Unmanaged Ethernet Switch and 1 more regular ethernet cable. can i use this somehow to do the same thing? vlt: the last line says link detected: yes on both pcs21:32
vltcattuslaetus: If yes, then on the laptop: `ifconfig eth0 192.168.47.11; echo 1 >  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward; iptables -O POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE;`21:33
vltcattuslaetus: On the desktop: `ifconfig eth0 192.168.47.12; ip route replace default via 192.168.47.11;`21:34
vltcattuslaetus: Then first try `ping 192.168.47.11`,  then `ping 8.8.8.8`.21:35
vltcattuslaetus: If that works: put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" as the only line into /etc/resolv.conf21:36
cattuslaetusvlt: # iptables -O POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE returns iptables v1.6.1: unknown option "-O"21:40

naccxorpad: what do you think a snapshot of a distribution is? and why would you want to go to it?21:50
xorpadthen... screw it I'll stick with 17.0421:50
naccxorpad: it's just a point in time? you will still need to *immediately* `sudo apt update; sudo apt full-upgrade` to get current.21:50
xorpadnacc: snapshots involve fixes but also experimental code and untested stuff21:50
naccxorpad: i think you are trying to apply something from general software to a Linux distribution21:51
xorpadI know what they are, and I want to see the latest snapshot and what packages are in it21:51

naccxorpad: ubiquity is an installer21:52
naccxorpad: i'm not sure what you mean by your question21:52
xorpadyes, I'm asking if I can do the upgrade with ubiquity, ie the installer of the snapshot if i download the snapshot21:52
xorpadyou said i can't do-release-upgrade it, so can I upgrade with newer installation media?21:52
naccxorpad: do you mean the daily image?21:52
naccxorpad: i never said that.21:52
xorpadyes, that's a snapshot21:53
naccxorpad: in fact, I told you exactly what to do to use do-release-upgrade.21:53
xorpad-d ?21:53
naccxorpad: yes.21:53
naccxorpad: if you use the installer from a daily ISO, you're installing, not upgrading. That seems fairly obvious.21:53

xorpadconfusion sorry21:54
xorpadI will use do-release-upgrade -d, thanks you for the help:D21:54
naccxorpad: 'do-release-upgrade to the latest snapshot' is nonsense. It will put you on 17.10, which is not a snapshot. I think you want to stop thinking of Ubuntu in terms of snapshots :)21:54
naccxorpad: yw21:55
xorpadI just want to see how stable it is and what packages it ships with21:55
naccxorpad: you don't need to install it for the latter21:55
xorpadand I want to do it using my existing install because the install has things to compile to test all the toolchains and stuff I use21:55
vltcattuslaetus: What does the output of `ifconfig` look like on both machines?21:55
naccxorpad: i'm not sure upgrading your install to check for stability is necessarily the right choice, but that's up to you. Not yet release, etc. And there is no downgrade path, you'd need to reinstall if you hit fatal issues.21:55
xorpadthey do have a daily or nightly build download page21:55
naccxorpad: yes, those are daily ISO images.21:56

nekoexmachinaHello! Anyone with some bumblebee & modern hw experience out there? I've got a huuuge issue that basically results in dead-frozen system if I run nvidia-detector or try to install nvidia-drivers/bumblebee-nvidia23:21
nekoexmachinain case of install, system freezes and is unresponsive, even to magic sysrq; after reboot it won't boot properly and I have to boot from live usb in order to remove nvidia* packages; after which system boots fine again23:21
kenrinAny reason you are using bumblebee over DRI prime ?23:23
nekoexmachinaWell I've been using bumblebee for years and not sure what is dri prime23:24
nekoexmachinaProblem lays not in bumblebee itself, the freeze happens as soon as it starts compiling module from nvidia-367 package23:24
nekoexmachinawith nouveau, I have other issues, so that driver is completely out of question unfortunately (card is gtx 1050)23:25
oerheksubuntu uses prime by default.23:25
nekoexmachinaby-default so dri-prime uses nouveau drivers @oerheks?23:26
oerheksyou would need 375 minimum http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/111596/en-us23:26
LimeThi23:27
oerheksno, prime is for nvidia, to switch between intel23:27
LimeTI just asked in #httpd but got no answer yet.  So please don't hate on me for cross-posting my question:23:27
LimeTapache stops working from time to time.  Sometimes after a few days, and sometimes after some weeks. after restarting the server, everything works again.23:27
LimeTthis time, I would like to investigate the reason23:28
kenrinSo check the logs and see what happens LimeT23:28
LimeTsshd works (so I can log in)23:28
nekoexmachinaoerheks:  alright, I'll try to install nvidia-375 and will be back in a few minutes I hope.23:28
LimeThowever, the webserver does not deliver any data23:28
oerhekscurrent 17.04 got the 375, and the graphics ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa got even 38423:28
LimeTkenrin, /var/log/apache2/error.log ?23:28
nine_millisup ladies?23:28
kenrinThat will not give any useful information by itself23:29
nekoexmachinaoh, system seems not be hanging this time during module compilation oerheks, I hope that is good news.23:29
nekoexmachinaI'll go study some docs on prime-* and nvidia-prime. thanks for the input oerheks hope it would go well.23:30
oerhekshave fun!23:30
kenrinThat will give errors related to apache directly not why it is stopped or started.  You want to be looking at dmesg and journalctl23:30
LimeTI just looked into /var/log/syslog and there are hundrets of failed SMTP attemts23:30
LimeTbut I do not even use SMTP on this server23:30
LimeTis this server hacked?23:30
kenrinA lot of system programs use smtp to deliver mail to root and other users23:31
kenrinlocally,  of course23:31
LimeTnah, I see addresses that are clearly non-local23:31
pavloscattuslaetus: if I may summarize ... laptop has wifi and ethernet, you create a new wired connection shared to other computers. Desktop connects to the laptop via a switch and you created a manual connection with ip, mask and gateway. And this does not work23:39
pavlosLimeT: if apache got a sigterm, it should say so in the error.log23:47
LimeTpavlos, the problem escalated in the meantime...23:48
LimeTpavlos, a user in #httpd told me I should change the MPM from preform to event23:48
LimeTI did so - now apache won't restart23:48
LimeT>> apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.23:48
LimeTI did not compile PHP in the first place23:48
LimeTI installed it from a package using apt-get23:49
