jerome-does anyone know why "/usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable" returns "0 packages can be updated." while there are 2 packages to update?01:19
_Zaphod_i'm runing xenial, and the latest clamd update broke things for me. i need to have it listening on its socket at /var/run/clamav/clamd.ctl01:34
_Zaphod_it hangs and does nothing now.  it seems to use systemd now.  i need a working /etc/clamav/clamd.conf and working systemd config files to allow listening on the socket.01:35
=== laborer is now known as labrador
codepython777is there a way to print dmesg output that is only relevant for the current boot?02:02
_Zaphod_help??02:15
Bashing-omcodepython777: systemd ? Then ' journalctl -b -0 ' shows messages from the current boot .02:16
codepython777Bashing-om: I am on ubuntu 16.04.302:17
codepython777Bashing-om: It does work it seems. I read /proc/uptime and printed out times > than that in dmesg02:18
_Zaphod_if i remove and reinstall teh package, i can get the port 3310 working02:20
_Zaphod_but i cannot get the socket working no matter what I do.02:20
_Zaphod_for clamav-daemon02:20
Bashing-omcodepython777: dmesg as a log file no longer applies :) It is the journal now .02:24
codepython777Bashing-om: so dmesg is going to be removed at some point?02:25
Bashing-omcodepython777: See for your self : cat /var/log/dmesg >> (Nothing has been logged yet.) . No longer used .02:26
codepython777so dmesg is just a wrapper for journalctl?02:27
Bashing-omcodepython777: No . The ring buffer that used to be dmesg writes now to journal . See: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-journalctl-to-view-and-manipulate-systemd-logs .02:28
codepython777Bashing-om: https://paste.ubuntu.com/25393588/ - This is a different question. I have a USB port on which I've a FTDI device. It gives me errors on boot (line 4), and then after some time attaches and works (line 46). Any ideas on how to debug this?02:29
codepython777Bashing-om: isnt systemd supposed to be replaced with something else in Ubuntu in the near future? I dont remember - but read something about this sometime back02:30
Bashing-omcodepython777: Give me a tad to look over the file . As to systemd . Nope it is here to stay. Maybe was upstart that you had in mind that systemd replaced ?02:31
codepython777probably. Thanks02:31
Bashing-omcodepython777: the FTDI device, flash technology ? what shows ' sudo fdisk -lu ' with the device connected ?02:34
codepython777Bashing-om: that FTDI device is a pixhawk autopilot02:35
Bashing-omcodepython777: All I can surmise is a file system that initially is not picked up by the operting system .02:36
codepython777Bashing-om: I cant decode those error messages yet02:38
Bashing-omcodepython777: Food for thought . Bug ? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1574869 .02:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1574869 in linux (Ubuntu) "USB controllers are not recognized (live and install 16.04 Xenial)" [Medium,Expired]02:41
codepython777note that the error numbers are different (-32) vs -110, -62  -- https://paste.ubuntu.com/25393588/02:42
codepython777not sure what those numbers map to yet02:43
codepython777It seems there is a timeout of 30 seconds somewhere for this error - after which the device connects, not sure where this timeout is02:48
Bashing-omcodepython777: error -110 : https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/patch/include/linux/usb.h?id=feb26ac31a2a5cb88d86680d9a94916a6343e9e6 .02:48

=== [b0b] is now known as b0b

codepython777let me check02:55
codepython777Bashing-om: seems like that fixed the issue! :)02:58
Bashing-omcodepython777: The system tells all . We just got to learn to listen to what it tells us, huh ?03:00
codepython777Bashing-om: this device is supposed to work with both 2 and 3 - Indeed I missed that it was connected to 2.03:01
jvelasquezhi, I'm just trying to compile a deb from source, but,   debuild -b -uc -us, produced an error,  here's the tail end of the output:  https://paste.ubuntu.com/25393737/   any ideas why it failed?03:04
codepython777Bashing-om: Thanks for the help.03:07
Bashing-omcodepython777: Like hooking up a 6.0 Gbps drive on a sata port that supports 3.0 Gbps . Takes the sytem a bit to adjust .03:07
codepython777Bashing-om: its amazing, no errors on the usb 3 port!03:09

jostthere is no entry in dmesg -T since reboot (except connecting the ethernet cable)15:10
tomreynokay there's nothing there.15:11
tomreynmaybe the disk is falling apart, check s.m.a.r.t. data / run a self test15:11
tomreynbut actually you should see that in syslog /& dmesg then15:12
tomreynmaybe do an offline fsck just to be sure15:13
josttomreyn: Yes, though about the disk falling apart too, but the partitions / and others do not have these problems, and they are on the same disk... also, my machine checks s.m.a.r.t. on boot, and it does not tell me anything15:19

clarity510How do I reconfigure the display of Ubuntu 16.04 via commandline18:24
clarity510I’m not sure if it uses xorg or not18:24
clarity510I installed a driver that f’d up the display18:24
ducasseblackbird1: what does 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH' say?18:24
blackbird1ducasse: /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/home/mayar/MarilouV5/binu64:/usr/local/lib18:25
ducasseclarity510: it uses xorg, yes. how depends on exactly what you want to configure.18:25
clarity510should xserver-xorg be installed?18:25
ducasseblackbird1: by default that should be empty, any idea why you've set it?18:25
clarity510I tried X -configure, but it bombs out18:26
clarity510I also tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but that said it wasn’t installed18:26
ducasseclarity510: which driver did you install?18:27
clarity510nvidia cuda18:27
clarity510for ubuntu 16.0418:27
clarity510it totally killed it18:27
karab44hello18:27
karab44I can't create new file anywhere18:27
clarity510I’m debating about doing “apt-get install xserver-xorg”, but I want to make sure I’m not installing something that’s not installed by default18:27
karab44there is no RMB context option for this18:28
karab44there's only new folder but there's no new file18:28
blackbird1ducasse: I think for a virtualenv, but I remember that I delete it !18:29
ducasseclarity510: which flavor is this - desktop, server, kubuntu etc?18:29
blackbird1ducasse: must I unset it ?18:29
ducasseblackbird1: yes, try that18:29
clarity510desktop18:29
ducasseclarity510: did it work before installing  those drivers? also where did you get them?18:30
karab44LOL18:31
clarity510I got them from nvidia’s site, and it worked before I installed them18:31
karab44A bug18:31
ducasseclarity510: that's guaranteed to break18:31
clarity510why?18:31
karab44good I can though shutdown system18:32
karab44Ubuntu is very old and mature OS. Why it's still so buggy?18:32
ducasseclarity510: this isn't windows :) ubuntu provides the proprietary nvidia drivers properly packaged18:32
clarity510yeah18:32
clarity510fair enough18:32

emi71hello. I've a problem with Ubuntu 16.04. Bluetooth headset: vendor "HUHD" model hw-390m. The USB/bluetooth adapter isn't recognized. command "lsusb" recognize vendor:ID numbers but don't work. someone can help me?18:51
ducasseclarity510: easiest might be to reinstall, i'm not that familiar with those drivers. there might be an uninstall script.18:51
clarity510there isn’t :-(18:51
clarity510I tried some things online, and now it’s completely frozen18:51
clarity510:-(18:52
clarity510There’s no repair option?18:53
clarity510I don’t want to lose my files18:53
ducasseclarity510: as said, easiest is probably a reinstall, rather than spending the time fixing it18:53
ducasseclarity510: backup your data, restore after18:54

bielski@emi71: have you tried to reinstall bluez? I discovered recently that out-of-the-box some packages were not installed and blueberry was not fully functional18:54
tgm4883Don't give them admin access18:55
emi71bielski: bluez? I'm not expert, how can I reinstall it?18:56
bielski@emi71 `apt install bluez` or sth similar18:56
bielski@emi71 as a root18:57
ducasseslyrobot: have you tried #kubuntu?18:57
slyrobotducasse: Not yet.18:57

slyrobotducasse: Thanks.18:59
blackbird1Guys that error make me crazy19:02
blackbird1I can't do anyyhing with apt !19:02
emi71bielski I think the trouble is in usb not in bluetooth. Only the USB adapter is not recognized19:03
Splithorizonanyone know how to force a static ip from command line?19:04
warri0rrhttps://www.garron.me/en/bits/ip-addr-add-address-linux.html19:05
ducasseblackbird1: 'sudo -i', then check the variable as root19:06
blackbird1ducasse: As root it contains "/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"19:07
ducasseblackbird1: clear it, then try apt. it must be set for root as well somewhere.19:08
emi71bielski: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 7545:0951 (no device description, and the result is that usb device don't work)19:08
blackbird1ducasse: unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't work. It must be cleared from environement files too ?19:10
ducasseblackbird1: doesn't work? you can't unset it?19:11
tokamHallo19:11
blackbird1ducasse: As root, it works.19:14
ducasseblackbird1: so it's set somewhere in the systemwide environment19:14
blackbird1ducasse: Yes, thanks... Updrading is in progress...19:16
emi71hello. I've a problem with Ubuntu 16.04. Bluetooth headset: vendor "HUHD" model hw-390m. The USB/bluetooth adapter isn't recognized. command "lsusb" recognize vendor:ID numbers but don't work. someone can help me?19:23
emi71lsusb command result: Bus 001 Device 007: ID 7545:0951 (no device description, and the fact is that usb device don't work)19:24
ducasseemi71: the bluetooth adapter you have might be unsupported19:33
bielski@emi71 yep, as said, its sth else then I was guessing, seems like driver missing19:34
emi71ducasse thanks. I'm a beginner, excuse me, simply a question. why in windows a lot of device are recognized and in ubuntu sometimes is very difficult? I mean, "universal" drivers for usb, is common in windows. in ubuntu each device have different driver.....what is the reason?19:36
jeri've suddenly lost my sound when i muted, and unmuting doesn't bring it back. alsamixer shows the channel isn't muted, and if i do mute it using amixer it still has no volume. so unmuted, volume at any level from 0 to 100 i get no sound, but i do see the music that's playing show levels like it's outputting stuff and pactl list short sinks shows card 1 is running (which is the card i should be hearing stuff19:37
jerout of)19:38
jerany ideas what i can try to diagnose?19:38
tomreynemi71: linux also has a generic driver for the usb bus. but not for specific devices (such also does not exist for windows). you need specific drivers for specific devices. in the end what matters is whether the company producing the hardware decides to support it on linux or not, or whether they at least provide sufficient information so someone else can write a driver.19:38
tomreynemi71: it's the same with devices supprted / not supported on windows or other OSs (just windows still has the largest market share so they usually write drivers for it, not always for linux)19:39
ducasseemi71: in my experience, linux supports an amazing amount of hardware. however, it's just not possible to create drivers for every piece of cheap, crappy chinese hardware out there.19:40
tomreynthat's another way to put it ;)19:40
ducassethere's also many older devices that are still supported by linux that aren't supported by later windows versions.19:42
tomreyn!sound | jer19:42
ubottujer: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.19:42
ducassejer: you might want to try pasystray to check everything is set up correctly19:43
emi71tomreyn thanks a lot for your explanation. very interesting. but I mean a different concept. if I use usb storage pens by 40 vendors in Windows, no troubles. in linux if I change a vendor, is always my great risk :) also if the device purpose is the same :)19:43
emi71ducasse thanks. read my last consideration :)19:45
jerducasse, it says it's muted but i can't seem to unmute it =/19:45
jerah nm pavucontrol let me unmute it manually19:45
jersomething screwed with my mute button apparently, thanks19:45
tomreynemi71: i have not had such issues with usb storage in ages. there are generic mass storage drivers for linux as there are for other OS's.19:45
emi71tomreyn ok, maybe for mass storage, not for other type of devices. however thanks for your clear explanation :)19:47
tomreynemi71: welcome. :)19:48
ducasseemi71: 'other types of devices' generally need drivers :)19:48
emi71ducasse I think is only a problem of vendor market :) I hope in the future the situation will be better. :)19:49
emi71It is really a pity. Linux is fantastic OS, in my opinion.19:51
ducasseemi71: before you purchase, ask about linux support to show the vendor there is a demand.19:56
emi71ducasse thanks I know :) simply I had this headset "recycled" from another PC. :) no purchase now :)19:57

dsuchHello, I have a DEB repository of my own with a package in version 1.0. I also added v1.1 for a moment and installed it locally through apt-get update/install. Then I reverted it in the repo to 1.0, followed by a local apt-get update/purge and apt-cache clean. Yet apt-cache policy will still show both 1.0 and 1.1 so when I now attempt to apt-get install package, it tries to get 1.1 which is no longer there.21:36
dsuchI wonder where apt-cache stores its database on disk - there is nothing really standing out in /var/cache? Thanks.21:36

The_Dv8oranyone around that can help me with what Im thinking is a simple port issue22:33
tomreynzamanf: install all pending upgrades then. 16.04.3 is current.22:34
zamanfhow?22:34
tomreynzamanf: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade22:35
tomreynzamanf: in fact you should normally receive updates automatically unless you explicitly disabled it.22:36
The_Dv8orguess Ill just ask... got Ubuntu 17.04 installed with GUI.... installed postfix and sendmail.... ports dont seem to be open.... firewalls seem disabled or inactive... do I need to enable firewall like ufw, or do disabled firewalls mean everything is open, like in Winders?22:36
tomreynzamanf: ... or lack internet access22:36
tomreynblack_13: apt-get build-dep22:37
tomreynblack_13: see "man 8 apt-get" for more info.22:38
black_13thanks22:38
tomreynmomomo: do you mean linux-*headers*?22:38
tomreynmomomo: headers is source code needed to beuild kernel modules. if you are trying to change what 'uname' reports (the verison of the current linux kernel) you would need to add another  linux-*image* package and boot into that22:40
momomotomreyn: is it possible i have upgraded from the initial one installed?22:41
tomreynThe_Dv8or: disabled firewall means there are no restrictions.22:41
momomocan that be seen somehow, and can i restore to the the install version?22:41
zamanftomreyn, I finished installing the last updates. no results either22:43

tomreynzamanf: does "dmesg -T" look different now? or does it print the very same errors still?22:52
tomreynzamanf: actually the bug i pointed to is just about boot delays due to undetectable usb devices.22:52

tomreynyou can also try changing those modes and see whether this results in better detection on "dmesg -T"23:03

jbaseHello all! I'm trying to run 6 GPUs on a mining rig, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. It boots fine and works with 5 GPUs, but with 6 GPUs it enters GRUB and after GRUB it hangs almost instantly (no running text at all). I tried different cards for the 6th card and I noticed this: if font in GRUB is small (like 80 columns text), it will boot fine. If font in GRUB is large (like 40 columns DOS-style), it will23:31
jbasehang. I'm booting from a USB stick. I have a feeling it has something to do with UEFI mode (I normally boot in non-UEFI). Is there any way to force GRUB into this "80-column" mode which works for me? What's it all about? any ideas? thanks.23:31
buggaboosanchezI want to have my pointer look like is see in youtube videos. Is there any way to do that?  I run Ubuntu 16.04 and the way the cursor is in the videos it has a semi transparent , brightly colored (like yellow or green) halo around the pointer. The halo is maybe the size of a quarter and the white arrow cursor (regurlar cursor) can be seen in the middle of the halo.  How do I get the halo around my cursor like that?23:45
buggaboosanchezLet me see if I can find an example23:46
