[00:00] <LimeT> kenrin, just realized that
[00:00] <LimeT> that's the same if did with a2enmod
[00:00] <cattuslaetus> this is what i have just done: i booted the desktop on a live image of the same os i clean installed just before coming here and speaking to vlt. then, i immediately ran the command # systemctl stop NetworkManager.service. Then, I followed the exact commands vlt told me to run on the desktop again. all this time i left the laptop as it is.
[00:00] <LimeT> and a2dismod
[00:00] <cattuslaetus> now the desktop NIC is working, and from the desktop i can ping and get a response from 192.168.47.11 (laptop) and 8.8.8.8
[00:02] <cattuslaetus> DNS is not set right now so web pages do not load. however i now need to find out what happened to the installation on the desktop's boot drive that made it not work at all, when the only difference is i stopped networkmanager before doing anything.
[00:02] <LimeT> Thank you kenrin and pavlos :)
[00:02] <LimeT> I am leaving now
[00:04] <cattuslaetus> i am going to reboot into the boot drive installation on the desktop and try to replicate what has happened on the live image
[00:05] <vlt> cattuslaetus: put "nameserver 8.8.8.8" as the only line into /etc/resolv.conf
[00:14] <cattuslaetus> vlt: ok i did it all again on the desktop, after disabling and stopping networkmanager, and put google DNS into resolv.conf, and now the desktop can access the laptop and webpages through the laptop wifi connection
[00:14] <pavlos> it works@
[00:14] <pavlos> it works!
[00:15] <cattuslaetus> vlt: thanks very much for helping, this is the first time i have ever successfully set up NAT on a device that wasn't running a router OS
[00:16] <cattuslaetus> vlt: do you know if any of the commands to set up the laptop were session only? meaning how can i restart the laptop later, and the connection still work
[00:18] <sbd> I accidentally deleted the /etc/rc3.d directory on my Ubuntu 16.04 installation can someone list the contents for me, with ls -all so I can see the symbolic links.
[00:21] <vlt> cattuslaetus: Every single command (except the edit of /etc/resolv.conf) was session only.
[00:22] <genii> sbd: The contents of /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, and /etc/rc5.d are identical. Use one of the others to copy back over to it
[00:23] <genii> !runlevels
[00:24] <sbd> genii: thanks so much for the fast response
[00:24] <Pinkamena_D> on Kaby lake, fresh ubuntu 17.04 install and gedit will not render correctly. screen starts blank and test will quickly become graphically distorted. I have tried updating to 4.12 kernel but the problems remain. Intel proprietary drivers were 'in use' when I installed - I have not tried disabling them. (microcode)
[00:25] <genii> sbd: Glad to be of assistance
[00:25] <Pinkamena_D> So far no other problems with programs in general
[00:27] <cattuslaetus> vlt: ok, i will make a oneshot systemd service on both machines that runs the ifconfig and ip route commands, that should work right?
[01:31] <Guy1524> im on Ubuntu 16.04.3 and I tried following this guide: http://dan.bodar.com/2016/06/07/rebuilding-ffmpeg-with-nvenc-and-aac-on-ubuntu/   to enable nvenc in ffmpeg
[01:32] <Guy1524> however when I run make, I eventually get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/25373687/
[01:32] <Guy1524> and it won't build
[01:33] <Guy1524> ill try sudo make install then rebooting
[01:38] <kenrin> I was going to tell him that is included in the source by default but he left =/
[01:39] <maxcell_> when 17.10 comes out?
[01:40] <kenrin> october 19th
[02:03] <sdaHelp> is there a logical way to connect mounts from files gui and command line lshw /sdx ?
[02:06] <tesko> could you explain that question a little more, i havent slept in over 36 hours
[02:07] <sdaHelp> I have no confidence in writing to sd card in card reader that I know for sure which SDA/B/C identifies it.  I know some work arounds, but I'm wonding if there is a positive, no doubt about it, way to identify which SD is which partition holder
[02:09] <tesko> sudo hdparm -i /dev/sdb | grep -i serial what happens when you type that
[02:11] <sdaHelp> It identifies one of my hard drives
[02:12] <tesko> so sdb is an HDD?
[02:13] <sdaHelp> yes, and I see that I could start at "A" and work through "Z" and maybe I'd recognize the drive, but it seems like a crazy way to do it
[02:14] <tesko> pastebin me the output of your dmesg
[02:15] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: pull out sd card, type dmesg ... make note of the last few messages that show up. Plug in sd card, type dmesg again. Anything after the previous messages will refer to the sd card
[02:15] <tesko> or dmesg | grep sda
[02:15] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: or just use gparted
[02:16] <sdaHelp> Thanks, but I'm not so much trying to identify a drive right now, I can run gparted with the chip in the card reader, and then run it again without the chip in the card reader and find out which one it is, what I'm hoping to get now is a way of identifying the device easily and positively
[02:17] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: you just did
[02:17] <tesko> thats why we told you to dmesg twice
[02:17] <tesko> well lefty did
[02:17] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: either dmesg or gparted or fdisk -l or lsblk
[02:18] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: in fact, try lsblk
[02:18] <sdaHelp> I don't understand why either of those would help me, though I appreciate you time
[02:19] <sdaHelp> all those methods return information, but they do not say which is the chip in the card reader.  I can get the card reader id, but not the chip info
[02:19] <leftyfb> seriously? You don't understand why lsblk would help you in identifying an sd card?
[02:19] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: what "chip" info are you looking for besides it's storage/block size?
[02:20] <sdaHelp> seriously, yes, I run lsblk and nowhere on there does it say "chip in card reader"
[02:20] <leftyfb> as opposed to?
[02:20] <leftyfb> chip NOT in card reader?
[02:20] <tesko> so dmesg with it out then dmesg when its in
[02:21] <sdaHelp> I want to know that before I wipe a partition that I know which one I'm wiping, and in this case, the chip GB size is very close to the root partition and an other one.  I can't tell which is which
[02:21] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: lsblk
[02:22] <tesko> pastebin.com so leftyfb and i can review them
[02:22] <leftyfb> that'll tell you total size with partitions
[02:22] <sdaHelp> I don't need to know that
[02:22] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: put "chip" in the card reader and type lsblk and paste it to pastebin for us
[02:22] <tesko> then dmesg | grep sdb
[02:23] <leftyfb> tesko: lets not bother with that until we get all the info from sdaHelp
[02:23] <sdaHelp> that is probably not going to work as I"m not chatting on the computer that has the issue
[02:23] <tesko> okie dokie
[02:23] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: ok, good luck
[02:24] <sdaHelp> And, you seem to be missing the point.  I appreciate the help, but the question is about ubuntu, not about my special case in this instance.  Like I said, I can pull the chip and the put it back and figure out which it is, but I was hoping for something straight forward
[02:25] <sdaHelp> In the gui the chip is obvious, but no way to get sda number from it that way
[02:25] <sdaHelp> in gparted the chip is there, but now way to connect that with what I say in gui
[02:25] <sdaHelp> *saw
[02:26] <leftyfb> yes there is
[02:26] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: in gparted, pick a partition, right-click it and go to information
[02:28] <tesko> well shit it could be sda1 or sda2 or sda3 and so on
[02:28] <sdaHelp> there's nothing there that I see will tell me where the physical partition is mounted
[02:29] <tesko> fdisk
[02:29] <tesko> about computer
[02:29] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: ah, so you want `ls /sys/class/block/`
[02:30] <sdaHelp> idealy what I want is to be able to right click on a partition in "files" and have it give me the "sda" identifier
[02:31] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: right-click on a partition in "gparted" and it will give you the ""sda" identifier"
[02:31] <sdaHelp> but it won't give me the disk info, gparted does not tell you where a physical disk is mounted
[02:32] <leftyfb> define "where"
[02:32] <leftyfb> actually, yes it does
[02:32] <leftyfb> "mount point"
[02:32] <sdaHelp> you have to just guess from the size, "where " is "in the card reader, or "internal hard drive" or even just "that's an sd card"
[02:33] <tesko> is anything on the sda card?
[02:33] <sdaHelp> I appreciate you time but you'll all don't understand what I'm asking so I'll go try and formulate the question better and get back to the chat room
[02:33] <tesko> stay
[02:33] <tesko> its ok to chat
[02:34] <leftyfb> tesko: not really. That's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for
[02:34] <tesko> are you using 17.94?
[02:34] <leftyfb> tesko: this is a support channel
[02:35] <leftyfb> sdaHelp: sorry we couldn't help you. Though I really think it's more an issue of you not understanding what exactly it is you want/need
[02:35] <tesko> i ment chat about any other computer problems
[02:35] <sdaHelp> 16.04
[02:35] <tesko> should have made that clear
[02:35] <leftyfb> tesko: it's really irrelevant
[02:36] <tesko> sorry sir
[02:37] <tesko> leftyfb, in ubuntu can you do a pin dump?
[02:38] <leftyfb> pin dump?
[02:38] <tesko> yea
[02:38] <leftyfb> what is a pin dump?
[02:38] <tesko> its basically getting information about a card or sd
[02:39] <tesko> nm i never did that
[02:39] <tesko> pci card
[02:41] <tesko> leftyfb, would 'cat proc sda' work?
[02:42] <leftyfb> tesko: lshw
[02:44] <tesko> im going to have to agree with leftyfb. sdaHelp sudo lshw
[02:44] <leftyfb> tesko: I think we're done helping sdaHelp
[02:44] <tesko> it did say run as root
[02:44] <sdaHelp> I gave up
[02:45] <tesko> oh
[02:45] <tesko> sorry we couldnt help you,
[03:34] <asarch> A cheap, reliable (to buy new cartridges) and good color laser printer?
[04:22] <B105PH3RE> anyone familiar with inspircd??
[04:24] <B105PH3RE> can't seam to get ssl to work on it using ubuntu 12.04 server
[04:24] <B105PH3RE> connects without but can't get ssl to work
[04:26] <Bashing-om> !12.04 | B105PH3RE
[04:26] <B105PH3RE> ya i knoew
[04:27] <B105PH3RE> probably need to load m_ssl_gnutls module for inspircd but not sure how
[04:38] <Tri3125> I finally made it
[04:38] <Tri3125> Anyone here willing to help with some dual boot problems?
[04:39] <tesko> i would but ive never dual booted
[04:40] <Tri3125> Oh yeah my problem is definitely not for someone who has never dual booted before. I'm in some deep shit
[04:40] <tesko> well, whats happening?
[04:40] <tesko> i can try and help
[04:41] <tesko> are you using 17.04?
[04:42] <Tri3125> I already had ubuntu 14.04, and a friend was helping me install 16.04. In the process, he deleted sda2, which I believe contained a grub that knew how to boot into my windows partition and my linux partition. So at one point I was able to boot into ubuntu but not into windows
[04:43] <Tri3125> (I know "a grub" is not the proper way to describe it at all, but I can't think of a way to say it)
[04:43] <tesko> can you create a new grub
[04:43] <tesko> no its the term
[04:44] <tesko> he deleted it or did ubuntu delete it
[04:44] <Tri3125> That's what I'm in the process of doing (using boot repair) but it is telling me to create a BIOS-boot partition (>1 MB, unformatted filesystem, bios_grub flag)
[04:45] <Tri3125> He deleted it not knowing it was important
[04:46] <Tri3125> So I turned sda2 into the partition it's asking for but boot repair keeps giving me that same error
[04:46] <tesko> https://askubuntu.com/questions/704794/dual-boot-how-to-target-the-new-grub
[04:48] <tesko> was that helpful?
[04:50] <Tri3125> I don't even have the restore MBR option for some reason
[04:51] <tesko> oh and next time you want to install from 14.04 to 16.04 .. use 'sudo apt-get full-update'
[04:51] <Tri3125> But I deselected reinstall GRUB and boot repair is telling me I should be able to boot into my computer again. I'll see if that worked
[04:52] <Tri3125> I thought the same thing, but my friends told me that never worked and they're both much more experienced than I am
[04:52] <Tri3125> As in it would try to replace certain things and break them in the process
[04:53] <Tri3125> Neither of them are experts, of course, but I have no one better to look to
[04:54] <tesko> did you create a new grub?
[04:55] <Tri3125> I'm refreshing gparted to see if anything significant changed
[04:55] <Tri3125> Other than that, I think boot repair did
[04:55] <Tri3125> Somehow I got past the partition error this time. I have no idea how
[04:56] <tesko> do you know how to use pastebin.com
[04:56] <tesko> or paste.ubuntu.com
[04:56] <Tri3125> Yeah, at the end of every boot-repair session it tells me it stored the results at paste2.org, but obviously that's just the homepage
[04:58] <tesko> type this 'sudo lshw > paste' then copy the text onto the text field and link me to it
[04:59] <madLyfe> when installing server it detects drives to install to. i have two of the exact same usb keys, one empty and one with the ubuntu server iso on it to install from. will the installer ever ask me to install to the installer usb key?
[05:00] <tesko> it didnt for me
[05:01] <Tri3125> https://pastebin.com/JnxCvrXS
[05:02] <Tri3125> All right, I'm going to see if boot repair actually worked
[05:02] <madLyfe> like if it cant detect another empty usb key, does it detect itself?
[05:03] <Tri3125> Good luck, madlyfe
[05:03] <Tri3125> What's up with the sudden influx? Is this a ddos attempt or something
[05:05] <tesko> no
[05:05] <tesko> netsplit
[05:07] <tesko>  Broadwell-U Host Bridge -OPI this is 32bit .. the rest of your hardware is 64bit
[05:36] <Tri3125> Hey @tesko
[05:37] <Tri3125> I managed to get on my main ubuntu partition again! Admittedly I had to use rescatux, but it's still better than where I was before!
[05:37] <tesko> goooooood job
[05:38] <tesko> did you notice something in your hardware is 32bit the rest is 64
[05:39] <tesko> so what about windows
[05:40] <Tri3125> I did see your comment about that. What was the command you told me to get that list again?
[05:41] <Tri3125> And I still have no idea what to do about windows
[05:41] <tesko> sudo lshw > hardware
[05:42] <tesko> and it said windows was mounted
[05:42] <tesko> you have a partition of FAT32
[05:43] <Tri3125> Yeah, I can still see all of my windows files through linux
[05:43] <Tri3125> I just can't run windows
[05:43] <tesko> hold on
[05:44] <Tri3125> How can I find out where grub is installed so I know what to be careful around?
[05:44] <Tri3125> Like, which partition grub is installed in
[05:45] <tesko> paste the hardware again
[05:45] <tesko> ill tell you
[05:45] <tesko> use paste.ubuntu.com
[05:46] <Tri3125> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25374746/
[05:47] <tesko> while im looking i wannt you to type 'sudo cat /proc/pci > cat'
[05:49] <tesko> logical name: /dev/sda1
[05:49] <EriC^^> Tri3125: type "sudo parted -l" and paste it
[05:50] <tesko> logical name: /mnt/boot-sav/sda1
[05:50] <Tri3125> gparted says that boot-sav is a windows recovery partition
[05:52] <Tri3125> And I get that /proc/pci is not a file/directory. Also here's sudo parted -l - http://paste.ubuntu.com/25374768/
[05:55] <tesko> volume 2: description: Windows NTFS volume:logical name: /dev/sda logical name: /mnt/boot-sav/sda3
[05:55] <tesko> theres windows
[05:56] <Tri3125> Yep, that's what I can mount to look at all of the files on my windows partition
[05:57] <Tri3125> I've done it before to get important files that I don't want to lose
[05:58] <tesko> also sda7 is fat32 win 2000 i believe
[05:59] <tesko> how many os' do you have on thhat box?
[05:59] <Tri3125> Gparted says the name of sda7 is "Microsoft recovery partition". Only 2. Windows 8 and ubuntu 16.04
[06:00] <Tri3125> Everything else is either something for booting or windows fluff
[06:07] <Tri3125> Well, I gotta go to sleep for now. I'll come back in the morning at a more reasonable hour
[06:07] <Tri3125> Thanks to everyone who helped me! Mostly tesko
[06:08] <tesko> you are welcome, no charge
[06:57] <freelancerbob> hi what is difference between /usr/sbin/nologin and /bin/nologin
[07:00] <mgor> freelancerbob, ubuntu doesn't seem to have a package that provides /bin/nologin?
[07:06] <farhad> minimec, if you there really thanks for your help in hide-topbar yesterday.now its work :)
[07:09] <fishcooker> what does the sensible-editor do ? http://www.unix.com/man-page/Linux/1/sensible-editor/ but don't know the diff between sensible-editor and update-alternatives
[07:15] <freelancerbob> can you help me with this ?  sudo /etc/init.d/tomcat start sudo: /etc/init.d/tomcat: command not found
[07:16] <rory> freelancerbob: How did you install tomcat?
[07:18] <freelancerbob> rory manually just extract into /opt/tomcat
[07:23] <freelancerbob> rory when i try to run it with sudo /opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh it works but a want with sudo vi /etc/init.d/tomcat start and i am getting error
[07:24] <rory> vi is a text editor
[07:24] <rory> if you extracted to some dir manually you need to use startup.sh, or create your own init script in /etc/init.d/tomcat
[07:24] <freelancerbob> sorry i meant sudo /etc/ini.t/tomcat start
[07:24] <rory> /etc/init.d/tomcat is just a shell script but it doesn't exist because you only extracted to /opt/tomcat
[07:25] <freelancerbob> rory i know i have created it
[07:25] <rory> oh
[07:25] <rory> chmod +x /etc/init.d/tomcat
[07:25] <rory> I have to go now.
[07:31] <Amis> Hello! Is it possible to prevent an application from accessing global media keys? (VLC in this case)
[07:39] <glitsj16> Amis: Hi, easiest way to do so would be disabling them in VLC settings I suppose. Have you tried that yet?
[07:47] <Amis> glitsj16, I unbound every global key but it still "captures" them and doesn't do anything
[07:51] <nekoexmachina> how do I blacklist a module from appearing in initrd?
[07:52] <nekoexmachina> I've it blacklisted in modprobe.d, yet it is loaded on boot after update-initramfs. module in question is nvidia-384, I've blacklisted nvidia-384, nvidia_384 and/or nvidia, with no luck.
[07:54] <zaoqi> Where is the minimal root filesystem of Ubuntu?(armhf)
[07:56] <glitsj16> Amis: this seems to be a rather common nuissance with VLC, lots of different advice on the internets. I don't have much else, haven't used VLC in years. I guess you've tried clearing the cache as some people indicate --> https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=80652#p288339
[08:09] <zaoqi> Where is the minimal root filesystem of Ubuntu?(armhf)
[08:09] <lotuspsychje> !arm | zaoqi can this help?
[08:15] <nekoexmachina> I've double-checked all the configs, and nvidia-384 is blacklisted the proper way it seems, however initramfs still contains it. I've checked it through decompressing initramfs and looking for what modules are included.
[08:15] <nekoexmachina> Any idea how could I fix that?
[08:21] <IamTrying> https://askubuntu.com/a/919513/25165 - Because of this problem i stop using Ubuntu. When Ubuntu will have an option "If such thing happen, fix it auto without having to get human involved in Kiosk users"
[08:22] <ducasse> IamTrying: the root fs will require manual fsck on any linux, that is not an ubuntu thing
[08:23] <IamTrying> OK - Ubuntu or Linux knows by doing `fsck /dev/sda1` it will fix the problem. Why not introduce automagically `fsck /dev/sda1` on that problem so that a kiosk never has to be sit on a black screen or involve human involvement ?
[08:24] <IamTrying> ducasse: in Windows you have `bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No; bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures`
[08:24] <ducasse> IamTrying: because that might not actually fix it, it wants you to answer any questions it has
[08:24] <IamTrying> OK - make sense ducasse. But again i have to drive to French or German to fix my kiosks? where if i use Windows i do not have to go.
[08:25] <IamTrying> Just because of this problem i have removed Ubuntu from 200 Kiosks i had ducasse. And included Windows on them.
[08:26] <ducasse> IamTrying: then use windows. or something else. fine by me.
[08:26] <IamTrying> Thank you, i do agree what you mentioend. But would have been great if auto option were existed.
[08:27] <ducasse> make the root fs readonly, then it should not fail on boot afaict.
[08:29] <IamTrying> Thank you ducasse, i will play with it and try to simulate the issue.
[08:35] <nohitall> hi, is there a trick to change datadir for mysql under ubuntu? it complains about missing file but its clearly there in either the old or the new data dir, usually I just rsync and change the line and starts up fine
[08:37] <freelancerbob> where is located file index.html for Tomcat, anyone knows ?
[08:37] <freelancerbob> i mean tomcat start page
[08:40] <nohitall> nvm was apparmoar issue, despite it being stpped
[08:48] <freelancerbob> what is some good linux book for inetemediate linux user, i do not want beginner book :)
[08:50] <ducasse> freelancerbob: you're better off getting a good book on whatever subject you want to learn about, like shell scripting
[08:50] <ducasse> imo
[08:51] <freelancerbob> ducasse: maybe some general one would be good, but yes you are right
[08:52] <freelancerbob> catalina.sh is run before tomcat started ?
[08:54] <rond_> Hi! How is that possible that running "bash /mnt/nfs/script.sh" works, but "/mnt/nfs/script.sh" doesn't?
[08:55] <ducasse> rond_: the script lacks a shebang?
[08:57] <ikonia> rond_: what OS are you using
[09:07] <rond_> ducasse:  shebang is present, executable flag too because I can run it when i'm on the host
[09:15] <EriC^^> rond_: you mean you're ssh'ing in and it doesn't work?
[09:19] <rond_> EriC^^: no. I have mounted host's disk via nfs, on both machines i
[09:20] <ducasse> rond_: like ikonia asked, which os?
[09:21] <rond_> i'm logged in as the same user (username, userid etc are the same), but when i'm on client i cannot execute script from host's machine. Interesting fact: I can do this when I do this with sudo, so i guess the user permissions aren't transfered approriately...?
[09:21] <rond_> ducasse: host: ubuntu 14.04, client: ubuntu 16.04

[09:58] <freelancerbob> what can be wrong ? /opt/tomcat/bin/setenv.sh: line 4: JAVA_HOME: command not found
[10:00] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[10:00] <bazhang> !info tomcat8
[10:00] <bazhang> why in /opt
[10:00] <bazhang> why not use the ubuntu repos
[10:01] <Aginor> freelancerbob: you need to install a JRE and have the JAVA_HOME environment variable set
[10:01] <freelancerbob> bazhang: i have extracted it there
[10:01] <freelancerbob> Aginor: i have installed JRE
[10:02] <zaoqi> How can I install xephyr?
[10:02] <freelancerbob> i just create setenv.sh in tomcat/bin directory and put there JAVA_HOME = /lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.141-1.b16.el7_3.x86_64/jre
[10:02] <ankeetshk> i am not able to write in derive
[10:05] <ankeetshk> plz help me
[10:06] <ankeetshk> i am not able to write in drive
[10:06] <ankeetshk> help me
[10:07] <ikonia> freelancerbob: el7 ?
[10:07] <bazhang> ankeetshk, need more details
[10:08] <ikonia> freelancerbob: that doesn't look like an ubuntu JVM
[10:08] <ankeetshk> what info
[10:08] <Aginor> that doesn't look like el7 either
[10:08] <ankeetshk> currently i am using ubuntu 16
[10:08] <bazhang> ankeetshk, what drive, what are trying to write, which drive
[10:09] <bazhang> ankeetshk, using which software
[10:09] <melissa_> Can anyone help me with switching to Upstart? When I try it, I just get a black screen even before I see grub.
[10:10] <ikonia> upstart is dead
[10:11] <freelancerbob> problem solved :)
[10:11] <freelancerbob> ikonia: Centos :)
[10:11] <ankeetshk>  without any software
[10:12] <bazhang> ankeetshk, write what
[10:12] <ikonia> freelancerbob: so why are asking in this channel ?
[10:13] <freelancerbob> ikonia: because it is general thing
[10:13] <ikonia> freelancerbob: it's not though, this channel is only for ubuntu specific support, if you could please stick within that usecase, that would be really good
[10:13] <ankeetshk> any file
[10:13] <ankeetshk> i am not able to wrtie any file
[10:13] <bazhang> ankeetshk, thats not any info at all
[10:13] <ankeetshk> in external drive
[10:14] <ankeetshk> what do you wanna know
[10:14] <bazhang> ankeetshk, what are you trying to write
[10:14] <melissa_> Anyone??
[10:15] <ankeetshk> i have downloaded a movie in my download folder
[10:15] <freelancerbob> ikonia: ok i have also ubuntu VM with same problem
[10:15] <ankeetshk> i want copy it to another drive
[10:15] <ikonia> freelancerbob: I don't think so,
[10:15] <bazhang> ankeetshk, so you want help with some pirated movie
[10:16] <freelancerbob> ikonia: come here and you will see
[10:17] <hateball> bazhang: There are free movies you know ;p
[10:17] <ankeetshk> it is a case with all the file
[10:17] <ankeetshk> i have given an example
[10:17] <bazhang> ankeetshk, so give us the exact thing you wrote
[10:19] <ankeetshk> my system is dual booted and i have create drives in it
[10:19] <bazhang> ankeetshk, give us the exact command you used
[10:20] <hateball> ankeetshk: If you have created a drive/partition with NTFS using your dual booted windows, perhaps it was not cleanly unmounted on reboot. That will make it mount read-only
[10:20] <hateball> ankeetshk: And if you unplug/re-plug it, you should see mention of that if you run "dmesg"
[10:21] <ankeetshk> how to unplug / replug
[10:21] <ankeetshk> drive
[10:22] <bazhang> ankeetshk, is an external usb drive
[10:23] <ankeetshk> it is a partition
[10:23] <bazhang> ankeetshk, you said previously an external drive
[10:24] <ankeetshk> its my falut
[10:24] <bazhang> ankeetshk, so Please give us he exact command you used to copy this movie
[10:25] <ankeetshk> i was just using copy paste
[10:25] <ankeetshk> without any command
[10:26] <bazhang> ankeetshk, ok
[10:26] <bazhang> ankeetshk, whats the filename you are trying to copy
[10:27] <ankeetshk> J0hn.W1ck.14.BR.D2.mkv
[10:27] <bazhang> hateball, uh
[10:28] <bazhang> ankeetshk, thats clearly a pirated movie
[10:30] <ankeetshk> but i am not able to transfer software also
[10:30] <ankeetshk> which i have downloaded
[10:30] <hateball> bazhang: The issue is clearly that the partition is mounted read-only, morals aside
[10:30] <bazhang> ankeetshk, is one of the partitions ntfs
[10:30] <ankeetshk> how to check
[10:30] <ankeetshk> propeties of drive
[10:31] <bazhang> ankeetshk, is that other partition just for storage, or a dual boot
[10:31] <ankeetshk> it is a partition for storage
[10:32] <hateball> ankeetshk: run "sudo fdisk -l" to list partitions and filesystem
[10:33] <hateball> ankeetshk: actually this is probably more useful "mount|grep sd[a-Z]"
[10:33] <hateball> !paste
[10:36] <ankeetshk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25375847/
[10:37] <ankeetshk> mount|grep sd[a-Z]
[10:37] <ankeetshk> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25375847/
[10:38] <ankeetshk> hateball
[10:38] <ankeetshk> help me
[10:38] <ankeetshk> i had used mount|grep sd[a-Z] command
[10:39] <ankeetshk> its show http://paste.ubuntu.com/25375847/
[10:39] <hateball> ankeetshk: as you can see, sda5 and 6 are mounted read-only
[10:39] <hateball> ankeetshk: Are you dual booting with Windows 10?
[10:39] <ankeetshk> yes
[10:41] <hateball> ankeetshk: Then I suggest you reboot into Windows, and turn off "fast boot" as seen here http://imgur.com/9k5YBa5
[10:41] <hateball> ankeetshk: otherwise windows wont unmount partitions cleanly on shutdown, and Ubuntu by default does not mount dirty ntfs partitions
[10:42] <hateball> ankeetshk: running "dmesg|grep unclean" should give you a message
[10:49] <ankeetshk> thanks hate ball
[10:49] <ankeetshk> :)
[10:49] <ankeetshk> my problem is solve
[10:50] <hateball> ankeetshk: You're welcome

[11:58] <oerheks> guess, read the topic, ubuntu technical support
[11:59] <guess> you mean you are linux tech support?
[11:59] <arunkumar413> guess: this is a community tech support channel for Ubuntu OS
[12:00] <freelancerbob> this line means that port 8080 is listening for IPv6 address from any IPv6 address ? : tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN
[12:00] <freelancerbob> tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN
[12:00] <arunkumar413> guess: yes, linux has many flavours. Ubuntu is one them
[12:00] <guess> oh ok so i can ask help or questions about it?
[12:01] <guess> im using ubuntu
[12:01] <oerheks> freelancerbob, yes
[12:01] <arunkumar413> guess: great
[12:01] <arunkumar413> what's your question
[12:01] <freelancerbob> oerheks: telnet fe80::6e53:6cbd:3edf:32e5 8080 Connecting To fe80::6e53:6cbd:3edf:32e5...Could not open connection to the host, on port 8080: Connect failed
[12:01] <guess> nothing for now! in the future i mean
[12:02] <arunkumar413> ok
[12:02] <guess> tnx
[12:02] <arunkumar413> guess: Are you new to Linux or Ubuntu?
[12:02] <freelancerbob> oerheks: how can i force telnet translate my incoming connection to IPv6 address ?
[12:02] <guess> i just started to use it just yesterdey
[12:03] <guess> actually im using it right now)
[12:03] <oerheks> freelancerbob, it the service waiting for ipv4 perhaps?
[12:03] <arunkumar413> guess: are you into tech?
[12:04] <arunkumar413> i mean software development or a programmer
[12:05] <guess> if true webdeweloper and just trying to learn basics of linux after will see
[12:07] <oerheks> freelancerbob, maybe this is your ansewr https://askubuntu.com/questions/947948/unable-to-enable-ipv6-for-telnet-server
[12:09] <guess> brb guys tnx
[12:13] <freelancerbob> oerheks maybe, btw: do you know shortcut CTRL+R ?
[12:13] <freelancerbob> search in commands
[12:16] <freelancerbob> CTRL-R shows only one result ?
[12:18] <EriC^^> freelancerbob: press it again
[12:23] <freelancerbob> EriC^^: thanks its possible reverse seraching
[12:24] <EriC^^> freelancerbob: yeah i forgot the shortcut though
[12:24] <EriC^^> hmm it says ctrl+shift+r
[12:25] <EriC^^> that's not working for me though
[12:25] <freelancerbob> yes for me neither
[12:25] <freelancerbob> maybe as they said
[12:25] <freelancerbob> https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/73498/how-to-cycle-through-reverse-i-search-in-bash
[12:29] <EriC^^> freelancerbob: if you add "[[ $- == *i* ]] && stty -ixon" to your ~/.bashrc you can use ctrl+s and ctrl+r
[12:31] <EriC^^> freelancerbob: apparently it's usually ctrl+s, but ctrl+s also colludes with the flow control shortcut ctrl+s, so disabling flow control is a workaround
[12:32] <freelancerbob> EriC^^:  thanks for investigation :)
[12:32] <kristhian> what does ctrl+s do?
[12:32] <kristhian> and ctrl+r
[12:46] <oerheks> ctrl + r , depends on the application open, browser = r - reload ( F5)
[12:58] <hollowmask_> hello
[13:10] <vimart> Hi hollowmask_
[13:12] <hollowmask_> im new in hexchat vimart
[13:16] <freelancerbob> where can be problem ? i have open port 8080 on my server byt i can't telnet it....telnet 192.168.56.33 8080 Connecting To 192.168.56.33...Could not open connection to the host, on port 8080: Connect failed
[13:18] <vimart> that's no problem holl
[13:48] <rory> Hey folks I have a question about bash syntax, maybe SSH.
[13:49] <leftyfb> !question | rory
[13:49] <rory> I want to run multiple commands on a host behind a bastion/jump-box. I am using a command like this: ssh -Avt bastion.example.com 10.86.1.2 "command 1; command 2"
[13:50] <rory> But what I find is happening, is "command 1" is being properly executed on the 10.86 server, but "command 2" is being executed on the bastion! Probably because the ; is being interpreted by some outer shell. How can I achieve what I want?
[13:50] <rory> sorry my command should have read
[13:50] <leftyfb> rory: to make things simpler, you can create a ~/.ssh/config profile for your machine using the ProxyCommand to specify your bastion host
[13:50] <rory> ssh -Avt bastion.example.com ssh 10.86.1.2 "command 1; command 2"
[13:50] <rory> I'm aware of that but I want to understand why this is happening
[13:50] <leftyfb> rory: you're supposed to put the command(s) to be run after -t
[13:51] <rory> no, -t is a flag to ssh to allocate a terminal. commands come after the host.
[13:51] <rory> I thought anything between the double quotes would be interpreted as a single command. but it looks like it's interpreting it like so: ssh bastion.example.com "ssh 10.86.1.2 command 1" ; "command 2"
[13:57] <leftyfb> rory: try ssh -Avto ProxyCommand=bastion.example.com 10.86.1.2 "command 1 ; command 2"
[13:57] <leftyfb> no, hold on
[13:58] <leftyfb> rory: try ssh -Avto ProxyCommand='ssh bastion.example.com nc -q0 %h %p' 10.86.1.2 "command 1 ; command 2"
[13:59] <leftyfb> maybe double quotes instead of single
[14:17] <rory> I was using double quotes
[14:17] <rory> maybe it's a zsh thing
[14:21] <vlt> freelancerbob: How do you verify that you "have open port 8080"?
[14:22] <Mathisen> vlt, telnet to it
[14:24] <vlt> Mathisen: "port 8080: Connect failed" doesn't look like a verified open port to me.
[14:25] <Mathisen> nope
[14:25] <Mathisen> would help if something is listening also on that port doh
[14:26] <nekoexmachina> hi everyone. I'm still struggling with prime & nvidia setup on new ubuntu install. Currently my freezes are gone with nvidia-384 drivers from ppa, but I can not run anything when nvidia is selected via prime-select ("couldn't find RGB GLX visual"). Could anyone suggest the course of action?
[14:27] <Mathisen> vlt, sudo netstat -ntlp | grep LISTEN
[14:28] <Mathisen> if you dont have netstat install "net-tools"
[14:29] <Tri3125> Is anyone here willing to help me with a dual boot problem? TL;DR grub is broken
[14:30] <Mathisen> Tri3125, would help if you explain exact problem/error and so on
[14:31] <Tri3125> Wait, I just realized that I haven't tried this yet. https://askubuntu.com/questions/197868/grub-does-not-detect-windows If that doesn't work, I'll be back
[14:38] <tomeaton17> What serial monitor tool would you recommend? I have tried stuff like screen and putty but would like something with a seperate input box
[14:39] <vlt> Mathisen: What about `lsof -i :8080`? And perhaps this would have been more interesting for the nick freelancerbob than for me ;-)
[14:44] <warri0rr> Ah yes I remember the struggle to make nvidia optimus work
[14:44] <Mathisen> vlt, ops did not see you typed to nick, and no use netstat
[14:48] <vlt> Mathisen: What is the reason to prefer netstat?
[14:48] <PuffTheMagic> can someone give me some help, I am trying to install chromium-62.* from a ppa but the onlything that will install is version 60.*
[14:48] <PuffTheMagic> i've used apt-cache madison and I see the 62.* version listed but it just wont install
[14:49] <PuffTheMagic> apt-cache policy chromium-browser does not show the version that madison does
[14:49] <Mathisen> vlt, personal preference :)
[14:53] <azies> Current version of Chromium in Software is 60
[14:54] <azies> I'm on Ubuntu Gnome, it could be different for you.
[14:56] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: pastebin `apt-cache policy chromium-browser`
[14:56] <nacc> azies: the difference is the use of a PPA
[14:56] <azies> Ah yeah, thought so.
[15:03] <__Myst__> I was wondering
[15:03] <__Myst__> I can uninstall wine with no consequences, right?
[15:04] <Tri3125> @tomeaton17 I recommend tera term. I have used both that and putty in the past and I like tera term better.
[15:08] <Leela> Hi guys! I'm having some issues mounting a new HDD to my system
[15:08] <Leela> do you have a complete newbie-friendly version on how to do it somewhere?
[15:08] <__Myst__> Leela: Your best bet is probably on r/buildapc or r/PCMasterRace
[15:08] <Leela> Oh no sorry, I've managed to install the hardware (:
[15:09] <Leela> I need to make it show up in the filesystem on Ubuntu
[15:09] <xuanrui> I've set up drivers a few million times, but it stops working suddenly
[15:09] <xuanrui> all the time
[15:09] <warri0rr> check if partition is mounted with lsblk
[15:10] <nacc> __Myst__: well, you won't be able to use wine anymore. that's a consequence technically
[15:10] <Leela> @warri0rr if that was to me then I can see the disk fine
[15:10] <nacc> Leela: what issues?
[15:10] <Leela> the name is just sda though
[15:10] <nacc> Leela: that's a disk, not a partition. You can't mount a disk.
[15:11] <Leela> Hi @nacc
[15:11] <Leela> Oh sorry! I'm completely new to this
[15:11] <warri0rr> Leela: is this an external hdd?
[15:11] <Leela> Okay, but, so how do I make the disk show up so I can store stuff on there?
[15:12] <nacc> Leela: partition it and put a filesystem on it
[15:12] <Leela> No I've connected it with SATA (?) cable and power and found a spot inside the case
[15:12] <Leela> Thank you @nacc, but that is where I run into issues because I don't really know how to do that :(
[15:12] <warri0rr> Leela: Ok, but is it a secondary disk or are you on a live cd?
[15:13] <nacc> warri0rr: why is that relevant?
[15:13] <Leela> Oh sorry @warri0rr, yes, it is a secondary disk. I have a ssd which I boot from, but there's not much space on it so I got this one to store movies and such on (:
[15:13] <Leela> Or that's the plan anyway!
[15:13] <warri0rr> Because telling to partition /dev/something is not safe if I don't know that there are other hard drives
[15:14] <warri0rr> Ok if this is your first time you can launch gparted which should load up the partition table of your hdd
[15:14] <PuffTheMagic> nacc: https://pastebin.com/XmCPQ7Vv
[15:14] <warri0rr> there should be a tool called GParted
[15:14] <Leela> Yes okay let me open
[15:15] <Leela> Oh I've the disk
[15:15] <Leela> there's a grey box which says unallocated
[15:15] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: it failed to build
[15:15] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev/+packages
[15:15] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: so you can see that it's not showing up in apt-cache policy
[15:15] <warri0rr> Leela: Perfect. That means that it is completely empty. You need to create a partition table according to what you want to do with it
[15:15] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: and you can see in madison output it's just the sources, not hte packages
[15:16] <warri0rr> Leela: if you're using it only for storage I'd choose either ntfs if you plan to use it from windows too. Or Ext4 if only from linux
[15:16] <PuffTheMagic> ahh thanks for point that out, this was the first time i've used either of those tools
[15:17] <Leela> there are quite a few options @warri0rr, does it matter which one if I want to stream to a Chromecast?
[15:17] <warri0rr> No it doesn't matter
[15:18] <Leela> is there like a safe option which works for everything?
[15:18] <warri0rr> You can choose either ntfs if you plan to share it with windows or just ext4. Being only a storage hdd it doesn't matter
[15:18] <Leela> thank you (: I'll go with ntfs
[15:19] <Leela> do I need to give it a partition name?
[15:19] <warri0rr> Leela: As you wish
[15:19] <warri0rr> Leela: That's the name that gets shown when the disk is mounted
[15:19] <Leela> I see, thank you (: !
[15:20] <warri0rr> Leela: You're welcome
[15:20] <Leela> and just apply operations?
[15:20] <warri0rr> Leela: yea
[15:20] <tesko> then Leela can type lshw to see it mounted, right?
[15:20] <Leela> Yay! It says all operations successfully completed
[15:21] <warri0rr> Purrfect
[15:21] <Leela> now it shows up in a different way if I type lsblk
[15:22] <Leela> that means I've done it correctly right?
[15:22] <warri0rr> yes because now it reads the partition too
[15:22] <Leela> Woo!
[15:22] <warri0rr> :)
[15:23] <Leela> Uh, sorry, this is going to sound stupid, but how do I copy something to it now?
[15:23] <Leela> will it show up like it does on Windows?
[15:23] <warri0rr> Yes you should see it
[15:23] <warri0rr> Czech it
[15:24] <nacc> PuffTheMagic: np
[15:25] <warri0rr> Leela: You ok?
[15:25] <enoch> hi all
[15:26] <Leela> I don't think so :( I can't see it but maybe I need to restart my computer first?
[15:26] <enoch> is unattended-upgrade active by default in 16.04.2?
[15:26] <warri0rr> yes go for it. then you will find it
[15:26] <enoch> i got varnish upgraded automatically on two servers and apt has overwritten my configuration files
[15:26] <warri0rr> I thought ubuntu would mount it automatically
[15:27] <Leela> Okay thank you (: ! I'll be back shortly
[15:27] <freelancerbob> how can open h2 db files ?
[15:27] <warri0rr> Free customer service
[15:27] <warri0rr> lmao
[15:27] <yeeve> hey chat, I'm trying out xbindkeys on Ubuntu 17.04 with Gnome. I've defined a command/key in .xbindkeysrc and xbindkeys -s shows it correctly, xbindkeys -n runs without error but the command doesn't seem to run
[15:28] <yeeve> I've used xev to check and it seems (as best as I can tell) that the right keysym is triggered
[15:29] <enoch> does someone knows if unattended-upgrade cron is active by default?
[15:30] <yeeve> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25377010/
[15:31] <yeeve> Hmm maybe there's an issue with it being a Launch/Media key :S I'll try rebind to something else and try again
[15:34] <Leela> Hi again! @warri0rr it works ! thanks so much (: !!
[15:34] <enoch> does someone knows if unattended-upgrade cron is active by default?
[15:34] <yeeve> Hmm lol, half the battle is finding valid keys, with no prior functionality which _are_ mapped. I tried to map to kanu_A (ア) lol but xbindkeys won't accept it because my keyboard is mapped to UK :/
[15:35] <warri0rr> Leela: you're welcome
[15:37] <nacc> enoch: it's not a cron job, it's a service. look in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades for the current settings
[15:40] <enoch>  nacc it works by default? Why has it overwritten my conf files?
[15:44] <yeeve> Hmm, I've mapped it to "XF86WebCam" which is available/unmapped and changed the command to "/usr/bin/amixer -q -D pulse sset Master toggle" which mutes all sound. I've tested this on CLI and the command works but the xbindkey stuff isn't :S
[15:45] <nacc> enoch: i don't know what you're referring to? "it works by default"? -> yes, unattended-upgrades is functional by default. I don't know off the top of my head if it's enabled by default, I believe you get a prompt when you install to choose. What are "your" conf files?
[15:51] <ducasse> yeeve: you sure some gnome stuff isn't interfering?
[15:52] <yeeve> ducasse, not 100% but I know on my last system XFCE was getting in the way and `xbindkey -n` actually complained, it's not doing that this time.
[15:52] <yeeve> I setup a xbindkey on my main keyboard using a default key `KP_End` and that works :/
[15:54] <yeeve> ducasse, this potential issue here is that I use http://paste.ubuntu.com/25377097/ to rebind keys on this http://amzn.eu/1UaYWow
[15:56] <ducasse> yeeve: right, i remember talking to you about it before
[15:57] <ducasse> yeeve: are all keys on the keypad now mapped to something that is not on the main keyboard?
[15:57] <yeeve> lol ducasse, I couldn't remember who I was talking to in here about it xD sorry I forgot about you :P I appreciate all the help so far
[15:58] <yeeve> Yeah they are all mapped BUT to the media/function keys starting XF86... and xbindkeysrc ONLY targers a single specific key on the keypad.
[15:59] <yeeve> ducasse, I'm thinking this is a key is bound to 'XF86AudioMedia' BUT not included in xbindkeys ... this opens Rhythbox ... so I think Gnome keyboard shortcuts are working :S
[15:59] <yeeve> I'm thinking it's a xbindkey issue as there is a key bound* ...
[16:00] <ducasse> right. i assume those are listed in dconf or something, not familiar with gnome.
[16:01] <yeeve> ducasse, they're definetly not defined in the Keyboard app in Gnome (I can't find XF86AudioMedia mentioned there)
[16:03] <yeeve> ducasse, if I reset the second keypad to default then my testing command using KP_End works .. this implied that xbindkeys CAN work on the keypad, it's just the keysyms like XF86Webcam it doesn't seem to like :S
[16:05] <ducasse> right, i wondered about that too :) what are you using to remap them - the xkb tools?
[16:06] <yeeve> Yeah, I've seen another tool mentioned for remapping but xkb seems to be working fine for me so I haven't tried it :s
[16:06] <ducasse> xmodmap, i'd think, but that is now obsolete and doesn't work 100%
[16:07] <ctrl> hi. anyways i could update build-essential to get g++ g++- gcc gcc- versions of 5+? currently after installing build-essentials im getting g++ g++-4.8 gcc gcc-4.8. ive tried to install g++5 seperately, but was unable to compile required packages couse it tells im not having CMAKE_C_COMPILER. im running ubuntu Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
[16:08] <yeeve> ducasse, I see, that could have been it :) I tried adding the XF86Webcam as a trigger to open my file manager via the Gnome Keyboard app and this DOES work ... to me that implies xbindkeys is broken for that keypad specifically :S
[16:08] <yeeve> xbindkeys DOES work if it's on the default layout and I attach to a default key like KP_End, BUT once I re-map that's when it fails (even though no error is shown anywhere)
[16:09] <ducasse> yeeve: seriously odd, i can't think why the layout would make a difference...
[16:10] <yeeve> It's something to work from though, it's consistently like this so I can keep R&D'ing in my free time
[16:11] <yeeve> ducasse, I use this 'setxkbmap -layout us && setxkbmap -layout gb' to "reset" the layout ever time I want to re-run the xkb remaps. This should be safe enough right? Nothing "bad" about it?
[16:11] <yeeve> Oh no nevermind, that's daft.
[16:13] <ducasse> yeeve: you could try asking in #xorg? that's a long shot, but at least they should understand the x keyboard stuff better than me ;) alternatively look for an xbindkeys mailing list or something?
[16:15] <yeeve> ducasse, I'll start there :P It's the setxkbmap which is breaking stuff. If I map k`ey <KP0> { [ KP_End ] };` then the test using KP_End on the default layout DOESN'T work. So it's like xbindkeys can't see the keypad once setxkbmap or xkbcomp runs
[16:16] <ducasse> yeeve: are you starting xbindkeys before setxkbmap or after?
[16:17] <yeeve> after, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25377097/
[16:19] <ducasse> i really don't know, sorry. someone's waiting for me, so i've got to run, but i'll be back later. try #xorg?
[16:22] <yeeve> ducasse, thanks!!!!

[17:05] <uebera||> Hi. I have three Ubuntu Xenial servers, all have bash-completion and a service called "glusterfs-server" installed (same set of packages). On one server, typing "service glus" and hitting tab won't work. How to debug that?
[17:10] <klaus_nomi> Does anyone know of a way to access the patch notes/debian security advisories available for a given APT-managed package?
[17:10] <klaus_nomi> From the command line, or using an apt* CLI frontend, i mean
[17:12] <uebera||> klaus_nomi: You're referring to this? --> https://askubuntu.com/questions/14394/apt-changelog-for-to-be-installed-packages
[17:13] <klaus_nomi> apt-get changelog, yes! Thank you.
[17:13] <klaus_nomi> uebera||: Much appreciated.
[17:14] <thyriaen> When i try to capture a screenshot with vlc player it doesn't do anything - this is a known issue and im doing something wrong with some output settings but i forgot what it was and i tried some stuff already - can someone help me out ?
[17:15] <klaus_nomi> thyriaen: If screenshot isn't capturing the VLC video buffer, you can always manually extract a still frame https://www.isimonbrown.co.uk/vlc-export-frames/
[17:19] <thyriaen> klaus_nomi, thanks but i don't think thats what im looking for
[17:19] <thyriaen> i want to get the snapshot feature to work - and in my previous linux install i got it to work somehow with disableing some video acceleration setting
[17:20] <uebera||> thyriaen: If all else fails (w/ VLC), try "mpv" (pressing "s" will save a screenshot here). I prefer mpv as vlc somehow won't display Bluray videos for me.
[17:21] <thyriaen> uebera||, alright
[17:41] <ksbalaji> hi! my pointer is gone. Is it because of low space in / ? how to start the mouse pointer please?
[17:43] <ksbalaji> Am I still in ubuntu channel please? can someone confirm?
[17:44] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: you are. the mouse pointer should not vanish as a result of a mostly fully alocated, and not really due to a fully allocated file system.
[17:45] <tomreyn> you don't 'restart the mouse pointer' since it's not a stand-alone application but part of X / your desktop. i suggest you logout and login again.
[17:45] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, Whew! I am live. ok. I need my pointer. How to get the prog running please?
[17:45] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: how to get which prog(ram?) running?
[17:46] <tomreyn> !patience | ksbalaji also read this for later
[17:46] <ksbalaji> I find it difficult to use anything without touchpad. I have forgotten using the keypad commands. I need help
[17:47] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: try alt-f4 to close all graphical applications, i think once they're all closed hitting alt-f4 again will offer to logout / reboot
[17:47] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, I need to logout and login using only the keypad. Can you be of help please?
[17:48] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: alternatively you can press (just shortly) your computer's power button, this should also bring up this menu
[17:50] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: finally, if this also doesn't work you can press ctrl-alt-f1 followed by ctrl-alt-delete, but this way any unsaved work is lost.
[17:50] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, sorry. this shutsdown the computer. I am unable to start a terminal to logout.
[17:50] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: i'm sure one of these three methods will work for you.
[17:51] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, thanks. This might help. Since, I dont have much unsaved item to loose.
[17:51] <tomreyn> ctrl-escape may also bring up the menu on the graphical interface
[17:52] <tomreyn> then you should be able to 'tab' to the option to shut down / reboot / logout
[17:52] <tomreyn> so now we got 4 methods ;)
[17:53] <tomreyn> oh, gone.

[18:05] <tomreyn> i suspect you have unity there, which i don't have, though, so i'm guessing based on my xfce desktop.
[18:06] <tomreyn> https://askubuntu.com/questions/69114/how-do-i-logout-using-only-the-keyboard
[18:07] <tomreyn> on xubuntu, pressing alt-f1 brings up the menu. which can be navigated with cursor keys and allows for signing out, too. that's method #5
[18:08] <_BIGSHOT_> how to make mouse's scroll wheel MORE responsive? it's not as smooth as it is in windows in webbrowser i.e.
[18:08] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: method #6: press alt-f3, type "logout", press enter twice.
[18:09] <ksbalaji> alt-f1 allows choosing an applicationl
[18:09] <ksbalaji> alt-f3 does not move a thing.

[18:10] <ksbalaji> Is it ssafe to try all alt function keys?!
[18:11] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: well alt-f4 closes the currently activee application.
[18:11] <tomreyn> can you access the web page i just posted?
[18:12] <ksbalaji> yes alt-f4 does closed current prog
[18:13] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, I cant access the page. the only web connectivity I have is xchat here.
[18:14] <ksbalaji> I struggled and found a way to open xchat using keyboard.
[18:14] <_BIGSHOT_> how to make mouse's scroll wheel MORE responsive? it's not as smooth as it is in windows in webbrowser i.e.
[18:15] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: try holding down the super / windows or apple logo key. this should bring up the Launcher and display the shortcuts.
[18:15] <Sander^home> Whats the ubuntu phone os irc channel again?
[18:15] <ksbalaji> _BIGSHOT_, nice that you have a mouse pointer to worry about!
[18:16] <tomreyn> !phone

[18:20] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: did you try super key?
[18:20] <Ben64> ksbalaji: what are you trying to do
[18:20] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: which desktop are you using anyways?
[18:21] <tomreyn> ksbalaji: using a graphical desktop without a mouse, specifically logging out of it.
[18:21] <ksbalaji> I have 16.04 running in acer aspore laptop.
[18:21] <tomreyn> Ben64: ksbalaji is trying to use a graphical desktop without a mouse, specifically logging out of it.
[18:22] <ksbalaji> Ben64, I am trying to get my mouse pointer running again.
[18:23] <tomreyn> oh so the goal has changed
[18:24] <ksbalaji> tomreyn, which goal? I am trying to get back my lost mouse pointer from the beginning!
[18:24] <Ben64> thats not what it seemed like
[18:26] <ksbalaji> Ben64, I am trying to logout to login again to see if I can get back my mouse pointer.
[18:29] <daker> hello, i'll post my question again maybe someone can help
[18:29] <daker> i have a 100giga ssd that i want to use
[18:29] <pavlos> ksbalaji: can you try, pkill -u $USER
[18:30] <daker> should i partition it or just use like that?
[18:33] <pavlos> ksbalaji: on my 16.04 ubuntu, I typed gnome-session-quit
[18:39] <ksbalaji> pavlos, I tried pkill - the system stalled. I had to reboot again.
[18:44] <FrostCandy> I have a chrome box and a Brix mini computer running ubuntu. I have wireless static ip setup on both working fine. However when i reboot either of them they don't start back up with wifi access. Shut them off, wait a bit, turn back on and then they do have wifi again.
[18:44] <FrostCandy> any idea what's going on here?
[18:45] <FrostCandy> ntermitten wifi on boot
[18:52] <Thete> I just installed ubuntu 17.04 on a machine, it goes straight to booting, I don't get a grub menu, is there a way to bring this up?
[18:54] <DJones> Thete: Assuming nothing has changed, you normally need to either press and hold left shift during boot, or keep pressing the left shift during boot (virtually as soon as the computer is switched on)
[18:55] <pavlos> Thete: or change the GRUB_TIMEOUT parm in /etc/default/grub
[18:55] <DJones> Thete: This gives better instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode - steps 1 -  3
[18:58] <pavlos> FrostCandy: are the first lines of /etc/network/interfaces       auto wlan0 then iface wlan0 inet static with details of ip and wpa-ssid and wpa-psk
[19:00] <Thete> shift isn't working, I need to be able to set nomodeset since I just get "no signal" on boot, I'll try from livecd to edit grub
[19:00] <Thete> system boots i just have no video, would be nice if openssh was installed by default
[19:05] <ioria> Thete, usually you need to spam <shift>  or <ESC>
[19:08] <Thete> I spam escape and it takes me to grub prompt, how do I get back to the menu?
[19:09] <ioria> Thete, no, it's not that
[19:10] <Thete> It gets to the menu, but it goes by so fast it takes me to grub>
[19:10] <Thete> how do I get out of grub> and go back to the menu?
[19:10] <Thete> normal?
[19:11] <ioria> Thete, i don't think so, with normal you should boot the machine, not get back to the menu
[19:11] <ioria> Thete, reboot
[19:11] <Thete> how do I get back to the menu then?
[19:12] <ioria> Thete, that's the grub prompt, it's another thing
[19:12] <Thete> Ok, when I boot my machine, I spam escape and it takes me to grub menu but if I hit escape too many times it takes me to grub> prompt, I need to get to the menu so I can edit one of the configurations
[19:12] <ioria> Thete, try ' exit'
[19:13] <ioria> Thete, we got that
[19:13] <Thete> why is there no timeout set by default on 17.04?
[19:13] <ioria> Thete, that is the default behaviour unless you're dual-booting
[19:13] <aloo_shu> Thete, iorio , not exit. It's documented in info grup
[19:13] <aloo_shu> *info grub
[19:13] <ioria> aloo_shu, ?
[19:14] <aloo_shu> cannot look myself here
[19:14] <ioria> aloo_shu, what you mean ?
[19:15] <aloo_shu> ioria did exit work? maybe if the grub command line was invoked coming from the menu, it does
[19:15] <ioria> aloo_shu, he needs the main grub menu, not the grub prompt ...
[19:16] <aloo_shu> but is at the grub prompt, for some reason, no?
[19:16] <ioria> aloo_shu, yes, because he pressed ESC
[19:17] <ioria> aloo_shu, yes,  on some configs, it triggers the menu to show
[19:17] <ioria> aloo_shu, yes,  on others (the most) triggers the grub prompt
[19:19] <Thete> typing exit just reboots my machine
[19:19] <ioria> Thete, ok, so spam left shift
[19:20] <Thete> Left shift does not work
[19:20] <Thete> escape is the only thing that takes me into grub
[19:20] <sla3k> Hi, on a CentOS 6 server, I can use 'mail -S smtp=external.mail.relay -s "subject" user@example.com to send out email, but in Ubuntu mail reports that there is no such option as -S
[19:20] <sla3k> using mailutils 2.99.99
[19:20] <ioria> Thete, that's the grub prompt (as i said, it's another tool)
[19:20] <Thete> fuck me
[19:20] <Thete> listen to what I'm saying
[19:21] <Thete> I know what it is
[19:21] <Thete> I have to mash escape to get into the grub menu on boot
[19:21] <Thete> but if I hit escape too many times it takes me to the grub> prompt, but I can't not hit escape in a split second to not get into the grub menu
[19:22] <Term1nal> In 17.04, how does one specify static DNS servers when connecting via DHCP?
[19:23] <Term1nal> I'm confused as to if I should edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf or /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
[19:24] <aloo_shu> Thete, did 'normal' work?
[19:25] <ioria> aloo_shu, he's gone
[19:25] <aloo_shu> ioria the direct boot is giving many people problems
[19:26] <aloo_shu> nice if things work, but if they don't...
[19:26] <ioria> aloo_shu, he had another issue, a video issue
[19:28] <aloo_shu> ioria which in the old boot behaviour, he would have known to fix by editing the menuentry and adding nomodeset, as he stated
[19:29] <ioria> aloo_shu, he cannot get video signal (i could open a console instead)
[19:30] <aloo_shu> ioria how's he's seen the menu flashing by w/o video signal?
[19:30] <ioria> aloo_shu, pressing esc
[19:30] <aloo_shu> let's drop it
[19:31] <ioria> aloo_shu,  esc triggers a text mode (not graphical)
[19:33] <Term1nal> Anyone? :(
[19:34] <ioria> Term1nal, what ?
[19:35] <Term1nal> ioria: I have 17.04, I want to override the DNS servers provided by DHCP, how do I accomplish this? Do I need to edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf or /etc/systemd/resolved.conf ?
[19:35] <Term1nal> since apparently /etc/resolv.conf is symlinked to resolved
[19:35] <ioria> Term1nal, i'd try the first
[19:36] <ioria> Term1nal, prepend domain-name-servers
[19:36] <oerheks> use the networkmanager, it has the option dhcp-ip only, and option to set dns manually
[19:37] <BluesKaj> Term1nal, /etc/systemd/resolved.conf is what i use for static IP on LAN Mentioning it now due your override wish
[19:38] <BluesKaj> without Network-manager btw
[19:39] <jtaylor> hi, I have /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<interface>/temp_prefered_lft set to 86400 yet I seem to get addresses with lifetimes no higher than 1800
[19:39] <jtaylor> is there another configuration somewhere?
[19:41] <jtaylor> ubuntu 17.04
[19:42] <Tri3125> Hey guys
[19:43] <Tri3125> I'm having trouble with booting into windows/linux. For starters, here's a boot repair dump http://paste.ubuntu.com/25377893/
[19:44] <oerheks> jtaylor, 86400 sec = 24 hrs lease.
[19:44] <Tri3125> Basically, I can't get into ubuntu without using super grub disk to manually start grub, and grub itself does not recognize my windows partition
[19:44] <jtaylor> oerheks: I am aware, but I do not get 24hr leases I get 3 hours
[19:45] <oerheks> oh, that is oke. That config is set in the router.
[19:46] <BluesKaj> Tri3125, did you try sudo os-prober then sudo update-grub in ubuntu?
[19:47] <Tri3125> sudo os-prober returns nothing. I should have mentioned that I tried that
[19:47] <BluesKaj> what about update-grub? I have to ask
[19:48] <Tri3125> It finds a whole variety of linux images and nothing else
[19:48] <Tri3125> Well, linux and initrd images
[19:48] <oerheks> line 2013 The boot files of [The OS now in use - Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS] are far from the start of the disk. Your BIOS may not detect them
[19:50] <BluesKaj> then sudo grub-install to your ubuntu partition, then sudo update-grub, Tri3125
[19:50] <Tri3125> The partition currently at the start of my disk is a microsoft recovery partition, and it's always been there, even back when I could boot into windows and linux with no issue
[19:51] <Tri3125> But I do think that sda2 was a boot partition at some time or other, and right now it has nothing
[19:51] <BluesKaj> well now you have an issue
[19:51] <Tri3125> Haha yeah
[19:51] <BluesKaj> so install grub to the ubuntu partition
[19:51] <Tri3125> But I also don't know if moving or deleting that windows recovery partition will destroy windows somehow
[19:52] <oerheks> why not UEFI ?
[19:52] <Tri3125> I forget why I changed it. If there is a way to change it back I am willing to try it
[19:52] <BluesKaj> it shouldn' do anything to youwindow recovery
[19:53] <Tri3125> Ok, so just grub-install and update grub?
[19:53] <Tri3125> It sounded like there was something before that I was supposed to do
[19:54] <BluesKaj> sudo grub install /dev/sdX (ubuntu partition) then update-grub
[19:56] <BluesKaj> tr it's supposed be installed to the /uefi/boot afaik , did you move it or somethingh
[19:56] <Tri3125> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25378452/
[19:56] <BluesKaj> Tri3125,^
[19:56] <Tri3125> Grub is supposed to be installed to /uefi/boot?
[19:56] <BluesKaj> yes
[19:57] <EriC^> Tri3125: what command did you try to run to get that error?
[19:58] <Tri3125> sudo grub-install /dev/sda4
[19:58] <BluesKaj> EriC^, to the rescue, Tri3125 , now you're in good hands :-)
[19:58] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "ls /sys/firmware/efi"
[19:58] <EriC^> BluesKaj: :)
[19:58] <Tri3125> I looked at a previous screenshot of my gparted and sda2 was mounted at /boot/efi
[19:59] <Tri3125> My friend was helping me update ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04 and he deleted it not knowing it was important
[19:59] <EriC^> Tri3125: aha, try running "sudo grub-install" without anything else
[19:59] <EriC^> aha..
[19:59] <Tri3125> Install device is not specified
[19:59]  * BluesKaj makes a note of what happens next
[20:00] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "sudo parted -l | nc termbin.com 9999"
[20:00] <Tri3125> Eric, did you see the boot repair dump I posted above?
[20:00] <EriC^> Tri3125: no i just came in
[20:01] <Tri3125> That's important, here you are http://paste.ubuntu.com/25377893/
[20:01] <EriC^> thanks
[20:01] <Tri3125> Also, sys/firmware/efi does not exist
[20:01] <Tri3125> No, thank you
[20:04] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "sudo mkfs.fat /dev/sda2"
[20:04] <Tri3125> mkfs.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)
[20:04] <Tri3125> Did that reformat sda2?
[20:05] <EriC^> Tri3125: yeah, now to change the uuid in /etc/fstab
[20:06] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "sudo mount /dev/sda4 /mnt"
[20:07] <EriC^> then type "sudo blkid /dev/sda2" grab the uuid, then type sudo nano /mnt/etc/fstab and replace it in the line that says uuid=something /boot/efi
[20:09] <Tri3125> Wow, you're a CLI guy at heart. I just go into the disks utility and mount it with the play button looking thing
[20:10] <EriC^> :)
[20:12] <Tri3125> Well there are 2 of them
[20:12] <Tri3125> @EricC http://paste.ubuntu.com/25378552/
[20:12] <Tri3125> Oh never mind I see that one refers to /dev/sda2
[20:13] <EriC^> Tri3125: yeah, remove the comment "#" at the start of the line of the first one that has umask in it, and replace the uuid from blkid
[20:16] <Tri3125> Done
[20:17] <EriC^> Tri3125: cool, ok let's fix some stuff quickly before setting up a chroot and reinstalling grub
[20:18] <EriC^> Tri3125: type sudo cgdisk /dev/sda and go to the linux partition and change the type to 8300
[20:18] <EriC^> you want the sda2 to be ef02, and linux 8300 and swap 8200
[20:19] <acresearch> people, I downloaded a .mov file and I cannot play it, how can i play it or convert it to a format that can be played in ubuntu?
[20:20] <EriC^> acresearch: download the codecs, try installing vlc and go with what it says, also enable multiverse repository
[20:20] <acresearch> EriC^: ok i will try to install vlc and see if it works
[20:20] <Tri3125> I was curious and I found this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/331977/how-to-view-and-play-mov-files-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts
[20:20] <vlt> acresearch: First try vlc or mplayer. If they fail try if ffmpeg can read and transcode it.
[20:21] <acresearch> EriC^: vlt ok installed vlc but it is not working,
[20:21] <EriC^> acresearch: try sudo add-apt-repository multiverse && sudo apt-get update
[20:22] <Tri3125> So I changed the linux partition, but the swap and sda2 already had the right types
[20:22] <EriC^> acresearch: what does vlc say when you play it?
[20:22] <acresearch> EriC^: vlt  i tried ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i 1.MOV -vcodec libx264 -r 25 -crf 23 -ab 384k -acodec ac3 1.mp4) but i got this error message ([mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x559c4c400000] moov atom not found 1.MOV: Invalid data found when processing input)
[20:22] <vlt> acresearch: What does "not working" mean? What happens instead?
[20:22] <EriC^> Tri3125: my bad, i meant you want ef00 for sda2
[20:23] <acresearch> EriC^: it just does not do anything, just blank screen and no play clock moving
[20:23] <JonelethIrenicus> anyone know which kernel has best support for threadripper?
[20:24] <vlt> acresearch: What does `ffmpeg -i 1-MOV` say about "Stream #0:0"?
[20:24] <vlt> acresearch: s/1-/1.
[20:24] <acresearch> vlt: same error message
[20:25] <Tri3125> Ok, I changed everything. How do I exit while saving my changes?
[20:25] <EriC^> Tri3125: press on write then press quit
[20:25] <vlt> acresearch: Sounds to me like a broken file.
[20:25] <acresearch> vlt: ok
[20:26] <acresearch> vlt: it is 15 MB
[20:26] <Tri3125> So say yes to "sure you want to write the partition table to disk"?
[20:26] <vlt> acresearch: Can you paste a link to the file?
[20:26] <EriC^> acresearch: try running vlc from the terminal and see if it says any info too
[20:26] <EriC^> Tri3125: yes
[20:27] <acresearch> EriC^: could not open Unknown error 1094995529
[20:27] <Tri3125> All right, that is done. Should I attempt to reboot now?
[20:27] <acresearch> avcodec demux error
[20:27] <EriC^> acresearch: what does "file movie.mov" give?
[20:28] <EriC^> Tri3125: no, type "sudo partprobe"
[20:28] <acresearch> EriC^: 1.MOV: ISO Media, Apple QuickTime movie, Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
[20:29] <Tri3125> Returned nothing
[20:29] <EriC^> Tri3125: ok, that means it worked
[20:29] <EriC^> Tri3125: type the following line "for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys /run; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt$i; done"
[20:31] <Tri3125> Eric, I just want to let you know that is probably the craziest thing I have ever typed into my terminal. Also, it returned nothing
[20:31] <EriC^> Tri3125: haha
[20:31] <EriC^> Tri3125: ok, now type "sudo chroot /mnt"
[20:32] <Tri3125> Done
[20:32] <Tri3125> Now my terminal has a /# in front of it
[20:32] <EriC^> Tri3125: ok, let's investigate a little, cause it's odd the efi partition was commented out
[20:32] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "dpkg -l | grep grub | nc termbin.com 9999" and paste the link it gives you here
[20:33] <tesko> Tri3125, were you here yesterday?
[20:35] <Tri3125> Yep, that's me!
[20:35] <Tri3125> http://termbin.com/du50
[20:36] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "mount -a" then type "mount | grep efi" and see if sda2 is mentioned
[20:37] <Tri3125> test
[20:37] <Tri3125> -/dev/sda2 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)
[20:37] <EriC^> Tri3125: great!
[20:38] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "apt-get purge grub-pc grub-pc-bin"
[20:38] <EriC^> then "apt-get install grub-efi-amd64-signed"
[20:39] <Tri3125> So I want to have all my grub2 files removed?
[20:39] <Tri3125> A little menu popped up. I think boot repair made me do this at one point too
[20:40] <EriC^> Tri3125: grub-pc is installed, that's the grub version for bios not uefi
[20:41] <Tri3125> Done
[20:42] <EriC^> Tri3125: it should have complained about missing efivars, did it not?
[20:43] <Tri3125> Not that I saw
[20:43] <Tri3125> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25378680/
[20:44] <EriC^> Tri3125: that's odd, try "grub-install" alone
[20:45] <Tri3125> grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
[20:46] <EriC^> Tri3125: aha
[20:47] <EriC^> try "grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi"
[20:48] <EriC^> it's cause it's booted in legacy mode right now, so it's kind of confused on what to do
[20:48] <EriC^> later it should work smoothly when it's booted in uefi mode
[20:48] <Tri3125> Installing for x86_64-efi platform. efibootmgr: EFI variables are not supported on this system. efibootmgr: EFI variables are not supported on this system. Installation finished. No error reported.
[20:48] <Tri3125> Don't know why that printed twice
[20:49] <Tri3125> So when I press F12 after I boot, I have the option to change the boot mode. Will I have to change it to uefi non-secure next time?
[20:50] <Tri3125> Sorry, not after I boot, but right after I turn my computer on
[20:50] <tesko> they may work on your system but just unsupported
[20:50] <tesko> no gocs
[20:50] <tesko> docs
[20:50] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot" and "mkdir -p /boot/efi/EFI/Boot" then "cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi"
[20:51] <EriC^> Tri3125: yeah, next time you boot you need to switch uefi mode on, you can do it permanently in the bios under boot options
[20:52] <EriC^> Tri3125: also, type "cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi"
[20:53] <Tri3125> All right, all 4 of those commands have been executed
[20:53] <Tri3125> This is exciting
[20:54] <EriC^> Tri3125: next time you boot, type "sudo grub-install" and it should add ubuntu to the uefi list, and then you can reinstall the windows bootloader, get a boot options menu to boot ubuntu or boot a live usb and switch it back using "efibootmgr"
[20:55] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "update-grub"
[20:55] <coet-i3> Hi, anyone know how to allow insecure repos to be updated with apt-get update ? it says on the manpages that "Individual repositories can also be allowed to be insecure via the sources.list(5) option allow-insecure=yes" but I don't know how to do that
[20:56] <Tri3125> It found a bunch of linux/initrd images, but no windows unfortunately
[20:56] <EriC^> Tri3125: by get a boot loader menu i mean that you can press f11 for instance or something else to get a uefi menu and choose ubuntu (after windows bootloader is installed it will become the first to boot)
[20:57] <EriC^> Tri3125: yeah, it's looking for bootmgfw.efi in the efi partition, which only has ubuntu now
[20:57] <EriC^> Tri3125: do you have a windows cd/usb?
[20:57] <EriC^> i *could* upload mine if you want, not sure if it would work really
[20:58] <Tri3125> Yeah, that's another problem I wanted to ask you about. So I have a windows 8 install iso, and I've gotten it to work with this computer before, but recently the boot menu thinks it's a diskette drive and when I select it it says that it failed to boot into it
[20:59] <Tri3125> I install it on the usb drive by right clicking, selecting disk image mounter, and then clicking on the usb drive and then restore image
[20:59] <EriC^> Tri3125: the iso is on a usb?
[20:59] <Tri3125> And I swear it's worked before
[21:00] <EriC^> Tri3125: are booting it in uefi mode?
[21:00] <Tri3125> Oh would that make a difference? I've been trying to boot it in legacy mode
[21:00] <EriC^> yeah, it has to be uefi mode
[21:00] <Tri3125> Oh ok
[21:01] <EriC^> Tri3125: type "exit" then try rebooting
[21:02] <Tri3125> Ok
[21:02] <EriC^> remember to change the booting mode to uefi
[21:03] <Tri3125> Also, heads up, in 15 minutes I have to go drop my brother off at tennis. I'll reboot and come back if it works, but if it dies on me I'll go drop him off and come back in about 45 minutes using a ubuntu usb that I know works
[21:04] <EriC^> alright
[21:11] <Tri3125> Eric you're a wizard
[21:11] <EriC^> Tri3125: wb
[21:12] <Tri3125> I have to go drop my brother off now, but the boot menu gave me an option to boot my hard drive under UEFI boot mode. I didn't even have to change any settings
[21:12] <Tri3125> I'll be back to fix windows
[21:13] <Tri3125> Thanks a lot!
[21:13] <EriC^> Tri3125: no problem!
[21:19] <tesko> i gotta restart ill be right back
[21:41] <cluelessperson> hey guys, I can't seem to get my nvidia gpu to show up with opencl, does anyone have any suggestions?
[21:41] <cluelessperson> I'm dealing with a headless server.
[21:47] <jbase> hello
[21:47] <tesko> hey jbase
[21:47] <jbase> I have ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a flash drive. Please help, how can I view it on a different computer running same OS? I messed up /etc/sudoers
[21:47] <jbase> tried to mount
[21:47] <tesko> you dont need sudoers
[21:47] <jbase> i can only mount /dev/sdb, but it's got mostly boot stuff
[21:48] <tesko> where is this other computer?
[21:49] <jbase> sudoers file is messed up.
[21:49] <jbase> I plugged in the USB stick which has the messed up Ubuntu image into another computer
[21:49] <tesko> strange
[21:50] <tesko> what does it do your computer?
[21:50] <jbase> I need to mount the USB stick properly to see all partitions and find the partition which contains the sudoers file
[21:51] <jbase> partitions are: sdb, sdb1, sdb2, sdb5. I can only mount sdb1
[21:51] <tesko> you should be able to mount it
[21:52] <nacc> jbase: what happens when you try?
[21:52] <jbase> for sdb2 error msg: wrong FS type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2
[21:52] <tesko>  Type mkdir /media//USB Then type sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media//USB
[21:52] <jbase> for sdb5: unknown filesystem type LVM2_member
[21:53] <jbase> tesko: I have already mounted sdb1
[21:53] <jbase> I need to mount other partitions
[21:53] <nacc> jbase: that's an LVM member, not a filesystem
[21:53] <tesko> which other partition?
[21:53] <jbase> ok, but what is the /etc/sudoers file location? i need to fix it
[21:53] <nacc> jbase: probably you want to mount something from /dev/mapper
[21:54] <nacc> jbase: i don't know, i'm not at your system to say
[21:54] <nacc> jbase: which ever LVM LV has your root filesystem
[21:54] <tesko> type whereis sudoers
[21:54] <jbase> nacc, this is a standard Ubuntu 16.04 distribution
[21:55] <nacc> jbase: i don't know what the LVM LVs are called, but like i said just look in /dev/mapper to see if they are recognized
[21:55] <nacc> tesko: taht assumes it's mounted already
[21:55] <jbase> tesko, are you kidding me. whereis searches the current filesystem
[21:56] <tesko> so sudoers is gone from your box
[21:56] <nacc> tesko: please stop
[21:56] <nacc> tesko: you're not helping at this point
[21:56] <nacc> jbase: did you look in /dev/mapper?
[21:57] <jbase> nacc: looks like the /dev/mapper idea worked!
[21:57] <jbase> sudo mount /dev/mapper/RIG11--vg-root /mnt/usbstick
[21:58] <nacc> jbase: yeah that looks right
[21:58] <jbase> nacc, looks like I was able to edit the file. Thank you very much!
[21:58] <nacc> jbase: yw

[22:41] <nacc> lavinho: again, those are *not* complete thoughts.
[22:51] <pavlos> locrian9: does "sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org" adjust the server?
[22:55] <Jordan_U> locrian9: There are also many organizations that block NTP (usually providing their own internal NTP server for everyone to use).
[22:57] <puff> Hm, this is odd... pulseaudio seems to have crashed, or something.
[22:57] <nine_milli> yo, is ubunti illegal?

[22:59] <kk4ewt> nine_milli,  depends on where you are in the world. in a place like china yes it could be illegal
[22:59] <puff> nine_milli: No, ubuntu is not illegal, unless you live in some weird country that outlawed open source.
[22:59] <oerheks> nine_milli, you can download it legally, if you get arrested, say my name
[22:59] <Tri3125> Ubuntu is definitely not illegal.
[22:59] <Tri3125> Oh wait I did not know about China
[23:00] <kk4ewt> nine_milli,  so where in the world do you live?
[23:00] <nacc> i would suggest unless you know all the details of nine_milli's geographical location, you don't give legal advice :)
[23:00] <nine_milli> atlantis currently
[23:00] <nacc> alright, trolling, everyone move on
[23:01] <oerheks> maybe the restricted extra's acan give legal issues, but that is in the license https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[23:01] <Tri3125> Haha
[23:01] <oerheks> or VPN
[23:02] <Tri3125> I at least have never known of anyone who got arrested for downloading ubuntu. You can't download windows off of anywhere because an entire company worked on that and wants to make money off of it. Ubuntu is not the same at all
[23:02] <hggdh> nine_milli: please get on topic
[23:02] <nine_milli> ubuntu isnt the topic?
[23:02] <oerheks> sorry hggdh, i had to give full legal answer ;-)
[23:03] <hggdh> oerheks: no problem there :-)
